Excelllent trip. Microphone would of been nice. Hard to hear everything. I would still recommend this tour!

I have done dolphin snorkeling in places like Honolulu, Guam, and the Ogasawara Islands, but this was the first time I encountered so many dolphins. In the early morning, the water was very clear, and I could see dolphins from a distance, but after a while, the water became murky, making it a bit difficult to find them even when they said, "There are dolphins!" However, I got to see baby dolphins and a lot of dolphin jumps, which made me very satisfied. There was someone in the tour who was free diving, and I was really envious of them. When we were leaving, the captain sped off at an incredible speed, so be careful! (laughs)

ホノルルやグァム、小笠原などでイルカシュノーケルをしたことがありますが、
こんなにたくさんのイルカと会えたのは初めてです。
朝一番は海も透明度が高く遠くのイルカもたくさん見えましたが
少し時間がたつと海が濁ってきて「イルカいるよー」と言われても潜ってしまうとちょっと探しづらかったです。
でも赤ちゃんイルカも見れたし、イルカジャンプもたくさん見れて大満足でした。
ツアーの中で一人巣潜りされてる方がいらして本当に羨ましかったです。
帰る時、船長さんが恐ろしいスピードでぶっ飛ばすので要注意です（笑）

The meeting is at 15:30, and it takes about four hours in a relaxed manner. I didn't expect much from the food, and it turned out as I anticipated. However, if you can have a normal conversation in English, it might actually be quite interesting. We encountered dolphins, or rather, there was a dolphin show happening around the boat in a certain area of the sea.

15:30集合からダラダラと四時間程度かかります。食事も期待しないで行きましたが、やはり予想通りでした。ただ、英語で普通に会話出来れば案外面白いかも。
イルカには遭遇というか、航路上のある海域で、船のまわりでイルカショー状態でした。

I was very satisfied with this trip. The tour guide was very friendly, and despite my initial fear of water, the guide's efforts allowed me to enjoy the dolphin tour up close. I highly recommend this trip!!

此次的行程非常滿意，導遊人員非常親切，原本怕水的我，因導遊非盡力的導引之下，也讓我能近距離的享受海豚之旅。 此行程大大大推！！

As the reviews mentioned, it seems that there is a long line, so when I went to the front at 5 PM for the 5:30 PM reception, there was a long queue next to the front desk! Everyone was shouting something together, and I panicked thinking I was late, but it was still okay. I was seated about three rows from the front, which made it very easy to see, and the food was quite delicious. The atmosphere was friendly and lively, and I really enjoyed it.

口コミの通り並ぶようなので、1730受付のところ17時にフロントに行ったところフロント横に長蛇の列！なにやら掛け声をみんなで掛け合っていてやばい遅れてしまったと焦ったのですがまだ大丈夫。前から三列目ぐらいの席でとても見やすく、ご飯もなかなか美味しかったし、和気あいあいとしていてとてもいい雰囲気で楽しめました。

In the past, I watched a program where the hosts discovered and introduced the wonders of a certain world while answering quizzes. I saw footage of former synchronized swimmer Mikako Kotani swimming freely with dolphins, and I dreamed of swimming with dolphins like that. It was truly a happy time when that dream came true!

I was told not to touch them, but the dolphins came so close that it felt like they were about to bump into me. They swam alongside me, followed behind in a group, and suddenly one appeared right beneath me. I had so much fun playing with the dolphins! (*^^*)

The dolphins on the Big Island of Hawaii are said to be friendlier than those on other islands and will come close to you. So, if you're going to do a dolphin swim, I highly recommend the Big Island!

Also, I was lucky enough to see a manta ray! That seemed to be a stroke of luck. The tour guides were also dedicated to helping us find dolphins and ensuring we had a great time.

You can borrow a wetsuit, which is enough to keep you afloat, but if you're feeling anxious, you can also borrow a floating pole (a cylindrical float), so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine. There was even a little boy, about three years old, who was entering the water with the guide's support. (Little ones must wear life jackets.)

When I posted about it on Facebook, someone immediately expressed interest in going, so I recommended this tour. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely participate in this tour again! Thank you so much! (*^^*)

昔、某世界のふしぎを発見・紹介しながら出演者がクイズに答える番組で、元シンクロ選手の小谷実可子さんがイルカと自由に泳いでる映像を観て、イルカと泳ぐことに憧れていました。
あんな風にイルカと泳げたらいいな、と思っていた状況が実現して、本当に幸せな時間でした！
触っちゃいけないと言われてましたが、イルカの方からぶつかりそうなくらい近くまで寄ってきて、横に並んで泳いだり、群れの後ろについて泳いだり、突然イルカが私の下から現れたりして、イルカに遊んでもらえて本当に楽しかったです(*^^*)
ハワイ島のイルカは他の島より人懐っこく、近くまで来てくれるそうです。なので、ドルフィンスイムをするなら、ハワイ島が一番オススメ！！
あと、ラッキーなことにマンタも観れました！それは運が良かったみたいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さんもイルカを探したり、先回りしたり、楽しめるように尽力してくださってました。
ウェットスーツを借りるので、それだけでも十分浮けますが、不安な人はフローティングポール(筒状の浮き具)を借りられるので泳ぎが得意でなくても大丈夫です。3歳くらいの男の子も、ガイドさんに支えてもらいながら海に入ってました。(ちっちゃい子はライフジャケット着用)
Facebookにあげたら、早速行きたい！という人がいたので、ここのツアーをオススメしました。
私達もまたハワイ島に来る時は、このツアーに参加します！
ありがとうございました！(*^^*)

This is a completely English tour, so it might be a bit challenging for those who cannot speak or understand English at all. The helicopter pilot will serve as the guide during the tour, but even if you can't catch everything they say, the views are so amazing that I think you can still enjoy it. Also, just a note, it departs from Hilo International Airport, so be aware of that.

At the time, there was an active volcanic eruption, and we were able to see everything from directly above the eruption to the ocean entry where the lava flows into the sea. Additionally, since there are no windows, you can even feel the heat from the eruption, making it a very exciting experience.

完全に英語のツアーなので、全く英語が喋れない、全く聞き取れない方の参加は少し厳しいかもしれません。ツアー中のヘリのパイロットがガイドをしてくれますが、それが聞き取れなくても景色が素晴らしいので、それはそれで楽しめると思います。また、そんな人はいないかもしれませんが、ヒロ国際空港発ですので注意が必要です。

ちょうど火山が噴火している状況でしたので、噴火しているまさにその上空から、その溶岩が海へ流れ込むオーシャンエントリーまで全てを見ることができました。また、窓が無いので噴火のその熱気まで感じることができ、とてもエキサイティングな体験でした。

I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

Rob was an excellent pilot. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. The view was awesome. Could have stayed up there all day.

If you want to see the volcano now, there's no choice but to take a helicopter! So I made a last-minute reservation, and it was absolutely the right decision! Since I rarely ride in helicopters, that alone was a thrilling experience. The pilot's explanations are all in English, but if you have some understanding of the history of the volcano, you can grasp it somewhat; I think it's better to have a little background knowledge. I was speechless seeing how the lava flow has engulfed farms and residential areas where people live. I can only hope that the damage does not spread any further... The pilot also explained the ocean entry that started a few days ago, and we circled around the crater multiple times, allowing us to experience the heat and smell of the lava. It was a tour where I felt the immense power of nature and learned about the power of the Big Island.

今、ボルケーノを見るならヘリしかない！って事で急遽申し込みしましたがコレが大正解！普段ヘリに乗る事なんてないので、それだけでもスリリングな体験です。パイロットの説明は全て英語ですが、今までのボルケーノの歴史がある程度分かっていると何となくでも理解出来ます、少し予備知識がある方が良いかと思います。農園そして人々が暮らしている住宅地が溶岩流に飲み込まれている様子に言葉が出ませんでした。これ以上被害が広がらない事を願うばかりです…パイロットは数日前に始まったオーシャンエントリーについても説明して下さいましたし、噴火口の周りは何度も旋回して下さるので溶岩の熱、ニオイも体験出来ます。自然の大きな力を感じ、ハワイ島のパワーを知る事が出来たツアーでした。

Overall, this was as a good luau experience. The show was excellent and the food was also excellent and plenty of variety. The setting is beautiful. The open bar was very good. There was not a lot of room, however, considering they were serving over 500 people (I overheard an organizer tell a waiter it was "515 people tonight"). The seating was a bit cramped. The ancillary activities (lei making for example) was fairly limited and not too well publicized. Those were the things that made our luau in Oahu truly special and yet we weren't able to take advantage of them since the supplies were limited.

Very organized and friendly staff. The restroom I used was very clean. The gears were clean. Excellent experience. If I have another chance to come back, I would definitely come back again!

With the help of the friendly Daisuke and Kevin, as well as the slightly shy but cheerful captain, we headed out to sea! At first, I was a bit nervous, but when we encountered dolphins, my excitement grew more and more. Watching Daisuke swim joyfully with the dolphins made me want to join in, but since I couldn't dive, it was impossible. However, I was truly moved to see the dolphins up close. Although I shouldn't reach out to touch them, they were so close that it felt like I could. The fun time flew by in an instant. The anxiety I felt before participating turned into smiles.

気さくでフレンドリーなダイスケさんやケビンさん、少しシャイだけれども陽気な船長さんに助けていただきながら海にGO!!
初めは少し、恐々でしたがイルカに遭遇しどんどんテンションも上がりました
楽しくイルカと泳ぐダイスケさんを見ていると自分も一緒に泳ぎたくなりますが…潜れないので無理でした。でもとても近くで見るイルカちゃんには、とても感動しました。手を伸ばして触ってはいけないのですが、触れそうなほど近くにイルカちゃんがいました。楽しい時間は、あっという間でした。参加する前の不安は、笑顔に変わっていました。

This was my second time flying over Kilauea Volcano by helicopter. The first time, I could only faintly see some orange from the crater, but this time, I could see the magma bubbling up during the eruption. In the tour guide's photos, it looks like they fly quite low, but in reality, they don't get too close to the crater, which was a bit disappointing.

ヘリコプターでのキラウェア火山の上空を飛ぶのは、2回目でした。一度目は 火口から微かにオレンジ色のものが見えただけでしたが
今回は、噴火をしててマグマがドロドロと吹き出している様子がみえました。ツアー案内の写真では、かなりの低空飛行をしてるように見えますが実際には、そんなに火口には近づいてくれなくて少し残念でした。

Honestly, I didn't expect to see so many dolphins. On this day, we were lucky and encountered a pod of dolphins right after we set sail. My wife was nervous about swimming, but the guide took the time to teach each person how to swim, which made her feel at ease to participate in the tour. Above all, we could feel the love that our guide, Daisuke, had for the dolphins. Thanks to him, we were able to swim with the dolphins together as a couple, creating the best memories. Thank you very much.

正直、こんなにもイルカに会えるとは思っていませんでした。この日はタイミングが良く、出港してすぐにイルカの群れと会う事ができました。
泳ぎに不安だった妻でしたが苦手な人に対して１人１人に泳ぎ方を教えてくれて、安心してツアーに参加する事ができました。
何よりもガイドのダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛を感じました。そのお陰で夫婦でイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができ最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon trip. There were other similar tours available, but I chose this one for three reasons: 1. a 95% chance of encountering dolphins, 2. many repeat customers, and most importantly, 3. it's suitable even for those who are not good swimmers!

If you're someone who wants to see dolphins but is a bit hesitant about swimming, I highly recommend this tour!

Even for someone like me who struggles with swimming, the guide provided excellent support, allowing me to enjoy the experience without worry. It was truly fun!

The guide was very knowledgeable about dolphins, and you could really feel the connection they had with them. I couldn't help but think that they might have been a dolphin in a past life! (laughs)

今回はハネムーン旅行で参加しました
。他にも似たようなツアーがありましたが、こちらを選んだ理由は1.イルカ遭遇率95% 、 2.リピーターが多い事、そして何より3.泳ぎが苦手な人でも大丈夫！とありましたので申し込みしました。

イルカは見たいけど泳ぎがちょっと、、、と思ってる方がいましたら是非こちらお薦めします！

泳ぎが苦手な私でも、安心して楽しめるようにガイドさんがしっかりフォローして下さって、本当に楽しかったです！

ガイドさん、イルカを熟知されてて、イルカと心を通わせてるのが伝わってきて、前世ではイルカだったんじゃないかな？と思わず考えてしまうほどでした。笑

I don't think I'll have the chance to encounter a pod of dolphins like this again in the future. So, I'm really glad I participated. The guide really goes all out to help us see as many as possible. If you're prone to seasickness, I recommend taking some motion sickness medication before joining.

いるかの群れにたくさん出会えるのが今後ないと思います。なので、参加できて本当によかったです。ガイドさん、たくさん会えるように体張って案内してくれます。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め飲んできてから参加したほうがいいと思います。

The cool thing about this helicopter flight is that you get to see a lot of volcanoes national park in a relatively little amount of time. Especially since the lava wasn't flowing a lot that day, flying over the greyish lava wasteland made it a lot easier to spot minor lava flows (see picture).

Since it was raining that day, there was too much steam for us to fly directly over the caldera, but otherwise the flight was great. If conditions are stable, I definitely recommend a helicopter flight as the best way to see the volcano. There's a lot you can only see from up in the sky.

What a fantastic tour, a lot more than expected. Very knowledgeable of all the coral and sea creatures. Not just for kids our party was 2 adults so we had fun too.

The Volcano National Park was closed, and since we couldn't get close, we participated in a helicopter tour that approached from the air. The price was high, but seeing the Kīlauea volcano from above was an amazing experience and memory.

Due to the weather, there were clouds, so the photos taken with my smartphone didn't turn out great, but I could really feel the power of the volcano with my own eyes, and I'm so glad I participated.

The pilot was very safe, and no one got sick. I also appreciated the service of taking photos in front of the helicopter at the end.

火山国立公園が閉鎖され、近くに行けないため空からのアプローチでヘリコプターツアーに参加しました。料金は高いですが、上から眺めるキラウエア火山の様子が実際に見れたのは素晴らしい感動と思い出になりました。
天気のせいで雲がかかってしまい、スマホでの撮影はいまいちでしたが、肉眼ではその迫力がリアルに感じ取られ、参加して本当によかったです。
パイロットの方はとても安全で酔った人はひとりもいませんでした。
最後にヘリコプターの前でお写真を撮ってくれるサービスも嬉しかったです・

Great day out on the water. A time for the entire family, very friendly crew and the food was great.

The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and the crew members are truly kind! This is my second time on this tour, and I had the best experience.

海がとにかくキレイで、クルーの皆さんが本当に親切です！こちらのツアーはリピーターですが、最高な経験が出来ました。

I arrived a bit early, and perhaps due to the eruption, there were fewer customers, but I was guided to the best seat in the standard section and was able to see the show perfectly. The Mai Tai and Hawaiian cocktails were delicious. I wasn't sure when to get the food and ended up grabbing some of the kids' items prematurely. It's best to wait, as they will guide you in order later.

少し早めに着いたのと 噴火のせいか お客さんが少なめだったせいかもしれませんが スタンダードシートの一番良い席に案内してもらい ショーをバッチリ見ることができました。
マイタイやハワイのカクテルも美味しかった。
いつ食べ物をとっていいのか分からず キッズのものを フライングして取ってしまいました。後で順番に案内されるので待っているといいです

I wish we could have gotten a little closer to the crater. I also wanted to fly along the coastline. If the cost were lower, that would be perfect.

もう少し火口に近づいて貰えたらよかった。あと海岸沿いも飛んで欲しかったです。あとコストが安ければ、最高です。

Two people in their 60s who don't usually exercise. Although I felt relieved to see other participants around the same age, the first time entering the water was tough and terrifying, and I quickly got back on the boat. However, from the second time on, I leaned on a float and drifted around, and with the guide's support, I was able to see many dolphins. It was really fun!

The guide named us after people who were young long ago. I received plenty of support and had a great time, for which I am grateful. The female captain also gave us lots of encouragement.

普段運動してない60代2人。同世代と思われる参加者もあって一安心したものの、1回目の入水は、しんどい、溺れる‥‥恐怖で早々にボートに上がりましたが、2回目からは浮き棒に寄りかかってプカプカと漂い、ガイドさんのフォローを得てイルカさんをたくさん見る事が出来ました。本当に楽しかった！！
昔若かった人達とは、当日のガイドさんからのネーミング。十分フォローして楽しませて頂いて、感謝。女性の船長さんからも沢山沢山エールをいただきました。

The dolphins were so close and the ocean was beautiful, far beyond what I experienced on the dolphin tour in Oahu. On this day, I was lucky enough to see both manta rays and tiger sharks☆ I could also hear the dolphins' voices, making it my best memory from the Big Island. Thank you so much, Daisuke and Hitomi (^ ^)

オアフ島のイルカツアーと比べものにならないくらいイルカちゃんが近くて海も綺麗でした。
この日は運がよくマンタもタイガーシャークも見れました☆
イルカちゃんの声も聞けてハワイ島での一番の思い出になりました。
ダイスケさん、ひとみさん本当にありがとうございました(^ ^)

It was our first trip to Big Island, Hawaii and upon many suggesting that the luau is a must, we booked it! It’s an amazing experience knowing about the culture, rich heritage of Hawaii. Food is delicious with a wide spread of salads, main course, fruits n desserts. Thrs a drinks bar too! We enjoyed all the performances especially the fire dances! Had a great time and would recommend this to our family n friends visiting in the future.

I couldn't reconfirm using the phone number written on the voucher. If reconfirmation was necessary, I would have liked to know that before making the reservation. It's quite difficult for those who are not good at English.

On the day of the event, while I was being shown to my seat and went to get a drink, another staff member seated a different customer, which caused us to lose our seats. Again, my limited English made it hard to communicate with the staff. The staff, seeing the situation, called a Japanese staff member to help us explain, and we finally secured a seat, but it was at a different table. The person who originally had that seat was upset. (I couldn't understand what they were saying, but their gestures and tone indicated they were angry.) It seemed that they told the staff, and we ended up staying at that table, feeling quite uncomfortable.

We were looking forward to the show as a couple, but it was very disappointing. Moreover, the food was served by table, and it took a long time for it to come around, so we were almost last. When I went to get food, there was hardly anything left. There were no plates either. We could only get food until the show started, so we barely had anything to eat. I chose this for our last memory on the Big Island, but it turned into the worst memory. The show itself was good.

Please improve communication among staff regarding who was seated where. Well, I won't be using this service again.

とりあえずバウチャーに書かれた電話番号ではリコンファームが出来なかった。
そもそもリコンファームが必要ならば、予約前に分かるようにして欲しかった。英語が苦手な人にはかなり難易度が高い。

開催当日、席に案内され
ドリンクを取りに行ってる間に別のスタッフが別の客を席に通してしまい、私たちの席がなくなってしまった。
またここでも英語が苦手なのでスタッフに上手く伝わらない。スタッフが見かねて日本人スタッフに電話して電話をかわり私たちが説明してようやく席を確保されたが、そこはまた別の人の席で。
元々の席の人には怒られて。(何を言ってるかはよく分かりませんがジェスチャーと口調で怒ってるようでした。)その人がスタッフに言ったようで、私たちはこのままの席になりましたが、肩身の狭い思いをしました。
夫婦で楽しみにしてたショーだったのにもううんざり。
しかも料理はテーブルごとで、中々順番がまわってこずにほぼ最後。
料理を取りに行ったら、料理がほとんどない。皿もない。ショーが始まるまでしか料理は取りに行けないから、私たちはほぼ食べる事が出来ませんでした。
ハワイ島最終日に最後の思い出と選んだのに最悪の思い出になりました。
ショー自体は良かったです。
もっと、誰をどこの席に通したかとか、スタッフ同士で連携してください。
まあ、二度と利用しませんが。

WE were very fortunate to have our tour just after the eruption. An unforgettable experience that lasted not long enough

I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.

There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!

We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.

My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

レンタカーを借りていたので集合場所に直接行きました。
時間通りにガイドのダイスケさんが来てくれました。
とにかく彼がすごい！！
世界一イルカを知っていると自負していましたが、その通り。
外国人向けのツアーもありイルカのポイントは混雑していましたが
的確な誘導で機動性のある船からイルカの動きを読んでダイブ！

全てのダイブでイルカを目の前に見ることが出来ました。
オアフのツアーでも何度か参加しましたが桁違いのイルカとの遭遇と距離そして楽しさでした。

中学生の娘も大満足思い出に残るツアーでした
ダイスケさんありがとうございました。
名前の有名なツアーより絶対こちら
