Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to Dan and Chieko, I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see and had the best time! They also recommended a restaurant, which was very delicious. Thank you so much!

We participated as a family, including my 6-year-old son who is in the first grade. On Molokini Island, there were many fish and the water clarity was excellent. After that, we moved by boat to a spot for sea turtles, and the guide pointed out, "Look, there's a turtle!" The turtle was so cute and swam leisurely without fleeing even when we got close. If your child can snorkel, this tour is definitely enjoyable. I want to go again.
6歳の小学一年生の息子を含めた家族で参加しました。モロキニ島ではたくさんの魚がいて透明度も高く、よかったです。その後船で移動して、ウミガメのスポットでシュノーケルをしていたら、ガイドの方があそこにカメがいる!と教えてくださいました。カメはとってもかわいくて、人間が近くに来ても逃げずに悠々と泳いでいました。シュノーケルができるお子さんならば、絶対に楽しめるツアーです。もう一度行きたいです。

I was looking forward to the blue sky and blue sea, but...
I was really disappointed by the terrible weather.
The rain and the extreme cold even made me feel unwell...
Later, when I was talking to a local taxi driver, he sympathized with me, saying it was unfortunate to go during a time of heavy rain that happens once every ten years.
Well, it was disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, the staff must have been cold too, yet they worked hard to cheer us up by getting into the sea with bright smiles.
This time, the weather was the worst, but the tour itself was really great, and if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try again.
After all, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience such amazing nature.
This time I give it two stars, but if the weather had been good, it would have been five stars.
青い空、青い海を期待しての参加だったのに・・・
最悪の天気でガッカリでした。
雨と、あまりの寒さに体調までくずし・・・
後日、地元のタクシーの運転手と話しをしていたところ、10年に一度の大雨みたいな時に行くなんて残念だったね、と同情されました。
まあ、残念ではありましたが、これも自然相手なので仕方がないな、と思うしかありませんね。
しかしスタッフの人達も寒かったはずなのに、一緒に海に入り明るい笑顔で盛り上げてくれるなど一生懸命に頑張っておられました。
今回は、天気の都合で最悪でしたが、ツアー事態は大変良く、またハワイに行く機会が有りましたら、絶対再チャレンジしたいと思います。
なんと言ってもすばらしい自然に触れられるのですからね。
今回は星2つですが、天気さえよければ5つ星です。

Two years ago, I went to Hanauma Bay on a different guided tour, but my 4-year-old daughter was unhappy, and we didn't get to see any turtles, so this time we made a comeback! The guides took great care of my daughter, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! We also got to see turtles, which was amazing! I highly recommend it!
二年前にハナウマ湾へ別のガイドツアーで行きましたが、4歳だった娘は嫌がり、亀さんも見られず残念だったので、今回リベンジしました!娘のこともしっかりフォローしてくださり、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!亀さんも見られて、最高でした!オススメです!!

I was nervous about snorkeling for the first time since I'm not a good swimmer, but they explained everything in Japanese very carefully, which made me feel at ease. I only needed to bring my swimsuit and towel, as everything else was available for rent, so there were no issues. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I encountered four sea turtles! It was an amazing experience! I want to participate again!
泳ぎも苦手で初めてのシュノーケリングに不安を感じていましたが、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれて、安心して参加出来ました。水着とバスタオルだけ着ていけばあとは全部レンタル品や貸し出しの用意があるので、問題ありませんでした。
海もとっても綺麗でウミガメには4匹も出会えました!最高に楽しかったです!また参加したいです!

their lights were dim compared to other companies, and they went in much earlier than the other boats.
Thank you for reviewing your tour with us. The lights we use are quite powerful, we do place a special blue filter over them to attract more of the microscopic plankton which the mantas' appear to prefer over the larger zooplankton, that may be why they appeared to be dim by comparison.

The staff spoke only English, but we had the boat to ourselves with just the two of us. On the way to the snorkeling spot, they stopped at sightseeing spots visible from the boat. Unfortunately, we only saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins. It was a watching tour, not a swimming with dolphins tour, so that's understandable.
Please make sure to print out your reservation and bring it with you; confirmation screens on smartphones are not accepted. Also, since you will be sitting on the edge of the boat and traveling for about an hour, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
The water temperature is low, and it gets quite chilly after snorkeling, so please bring a jacket and a bath towel. We snorkeled at two locations and had light snacks twice, which was great!
スタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、参加は私たちも二人で貸し切り
シュノーケリングスポットに着くまでにも、ボートから見える観光スポットに寄ってくださいました>^_^< イルカは残念ながら背ひれしか見えませんでした イルカと泳ぐツアーではなく、ウォッチングなのでしょうがないですね
こちらのご予約は必ずブリントアウトして持っていってください スマホなどの確認画面はNGです
あとはボートのヘリに座るし、1時間くらい移動するので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくといいです
水温も低くシュノーケリング後はかなり冷えるので上着とバスタオルを持っていってください

My husband and I were both nervous, I get seasick and he has a fear of deeper water and has never snorkeled. Captain Morgan was amazing and the crew was super reassuring. They gave me ginger candy when I got on. I only felt a little queasy, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Short ride and they got us in the water and we had a full display of barrel rolls by 2 mantas! My husband had an amazing time and he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. He would do it again! You stay in the water for a reasonable amount of time, I got out a tad early but we went back shortly after. Tea, soda and fresh pineapple was offered. A MUST do and I couldn't ask for a better crew. Bring your own goggles and snorkel if you have them, some masks leaked a little. Worth it even if you get seasick (lots of ginger and dramamine!)
Pick a day with no wind as Well! We had a great experience.
Thank you for taking the time to review your manta tour. Happy to hear both you and your husband enjoyed the experience. Thank you for joining us and hope to serve you again soon in the near future.

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine on Hawaii Island for years, and this was my first trip to Hawaii Island!! However, just before departure, there were reports of orca sightings, which gave me a strange feeling... Still, once we set sail, it felt wonderful and fun to cut through the wind and move across the sea.
As the boat progressed, both the captain and the guide gathered a lot of information and did everything possible to create a miracle. Although I didn't get to see any dolphins, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could go snorkeling.
Then came the much-anticipated second day. Since we were dealing with nature, I wasn't sure if we would see dolphins again, but I really wanted to go. And then, finally, the dolphins appeared!! I was so happy and excited that I swam with the dolphins, following the captain and guide's instructions, finding the best positions and timing over and over again.
This incredible experience was thanks to the dolphins and, above all, the two captains and the guide who worked hard to entertain us for two full days. I want to come back to Hawaii Island and join the same tour again. Thank you so much!!
イルカと泳ぐのはハワイ島♡と何年も前から決めており、今回初ハワイ島旅行!!
しかし、出港前にシャチの目撃情報があり怪しい予感…。それでも出港したら風を切りながら海を進むのが心地よくて楽しくて。
船を進める中、キャプテンもガイドさんもたくさんの情報収集をして奇跡を起こすための最善のことを全てしてくれました。
イルカには会えなかったけど、素敵な場所へ連れて行ってくれてシュノーケリングをできました。
そしてリベンジの2日目。
自然相手なので2日目も会えるかは分からないけど、とにかく行きたかった。
そしてそして念願のイルカの登場!!とにかく嬉しくて幸せでキャプテンとガイドさんの指示で夢中でイルカと泳ぎました。何度も何度もベストなポジションとタイミングで泳ぎました。
こんな幸せな経験をできたのはイルカたちとそして、何より2日間全力で私たちを楽しませてくれたキャプテン2名とガイドさんのおかげです。

Since it was a jet boat, I had no worries about seasickness at all. There is no toilet on the boat. At first, there were hardly any, but gradually a lot of mantas came. It's impressive to see them spinning right in front of you. I'm just floating, but my arms get quite tired. Renting a wetsuit cost an additional $10.
ジェットボートなので心配していた船酔いは全くありませんでした。ボートにトイレはありません。
最初は全然いなかったのですがだんだんマンタが沢山来ました。目の前でマンタが回転するのは迫力あります。
プカプカ浮いてるだけですが腕が結構疲れます。

This was my second time participating. Unfortunately, there were strong winds and passing rain this time, and I was worried about whether I could enjoy it, but I was able to have fun just like last time. The kind and enjoyable explanations in Japanese also made for a great time. The promised turtles had increased to two, which was delightful. The only disappointment was that there wasn't a low tide sufficient to expose the sandy area again, so I want to thoroughly research the low tide periods and plan my trip for next time.

Crew was very nice and captain had a great story, but we were ones that had little luck with manta's. We did see one or two, but it took a full hour in water, where some of my party began to get sick and missed it. The most disappointing part was absolutely no cruise. Do not expect a cruise. We coasted for 5 min and went out where I could snorkel on my own. I really thought we would sail for a bit and get snacks instead of one piece of pineapple. Understand you are hanging onto a ladder the whole time. I get it for safety reasons, but not what I expected. There is no real snorkeling where your swimming around. No boat lights other then ladder. I felt we were using other boats lights, where we were the last ones to ever see anything, unless we got lucky. Our ladder had lights. I thought this was also a 3 to 4 hour tour. It took 5 or 10 min. To get where we were going, then hour in water, then go home. No drinks on this, and hit and miss with hot chocolate. I highly recommended actually sailing first and open the sails like they said would happen and choosing this boat in the first place. My party was disappointed. My kids were troopers and stayed out with me and saw the one manta, before turning back where the rest of the people holding onto the ladder didn't see it. At least give us a cruise first with this cool boat.
Thank you for taking the time to review your manta tour. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the staff and also sorry to hear you did not fully enjoy the trip. We, unfortunately, do not always get the opportunity to sail prior to the manta tour. As stated on the website, factors such as mooring availability water conditions and weather play a great part in what happens on each individual tour. If I could have it my way, every night we would have just enough wind cruise out to sea while watching a glorious sunset (No rain). Return back to the manta site to find our mooring available, at this point the wind would calm and the sea would be flat and upon entering the water all of Kona's manta rays would gather under our raft for the entire hour. Everyone would be happy, but alas this does not happen as often as I wish it would.

I participated with my father, who is over 60 years old. We were extremely excited and satisfied to see manta rays gracefully spinning right in front of us! The boat sped quickly to the manta observation point, and while we waited for the manta rays, the gentle rocking of the waves made some people feel a bit queasy, but it was a safe activity. It was a tour with a Japanese guide, and nearly half of the participants were Japanese.
It's definitely not cheap, but I can recommend this tour to family and friends of all ages!

I participated with my elderly parents. I chose this tour from many available ocean tours because I wanted to show my parents, who had never interacted with wild dolphins, and I also wanted to swim with them.
It was also important whether the boat had a toilet. However, I thought it would be nice to have one, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
First of all, I felt that you need to be physically fit. Using fins for the first time took a lot of energy. I had to work hard to swim and catch even a small chance to see the dolphins. The dolphins swam away quickly before I could even get used to snorkeling, and I was surprised at how fast the first encounter happened!
It reminded me of my time in sports club activities. It was such a feeling that when we finally saw the dolphins together, I was truly moved.
I thought I would invite my parents to experience the underwater world, but I felt a bit guilty thinking that if I struggled, they would too. However, it seemed they enjoyed themselves on the boat. They were excitedly saying things like, "There were dolphins with their babies!" and "I think I saw flying fish!" It made me happy to see my parents acting like children.
For snorkeling, I recommend the waters on the opposite side of Oahu Island rather than this side, so I wouldn't recommend this tour for that. However, if you have a strong desire to swim with dolphins, I hope you will build up your stamina and participate!
This tour was filled with the warm feelings of the staff who wanted everyone to see the dolphins. Thank you for having a dedicated photographer who captured wonderful memories of the trip. The price might be high, but I want to say thank you for creating lasting memories for me, as I felt this might be the last trip with my parents.
Thank you for taking such beautiful photos! My father and mother's best smiles were captured there!
年老いた両親とともに参加しました。野生のイルカに触れ合ったことのない両親に見せてあげたいという気持ちと、私が一緒に泳いでみたいという理由から数多くある海のツアーから選びました。
また船にトイレを備え付けているかも重要な点でした。しかし、これはあればなおよしぐらいな気持ちでよいかなと思います。
まず、体力ないと無理だと感じました。フィンを使うのが初めてだとまずそれに体力使いました。またほんの少しのチャンスに食らいつくために懸命に顔をつけて泳ぎます。スノーケルをつけて泳ぐのもならないままあっというイルカは泳ぎ去ってしまい最初のアタックはあっという間でびっくりしました笑
運動部の部活を思い出しました。そんな感じでしたのでみんなでイルカを見れたときにはほんとうに感動しました。
自分が体験して両親もできたら海の中は誘おうと思ってましたが、自分もこんな感じなのに無理だなと思い申し訳無い気持ちも起こりましたが、船の上ではそれはそれで楽しめていたようです。イルカが親子でいたよ!トビウオもいたみたいよ!などと子供のようにはしゃぐ親の姿が嬉しかったです。
シュノーケルするにはこちら側の海ではなくオワフ島の反対側の海がオススメなのでこのツアーはオススメしませんが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!って気持ちが強い方は是非体力つけて参加してほしいなと思います^^
皆んなにイルカを見せてあげたいって思うスタッフさんの暖かい気持ちが詰まったツアーでした。専属にカメラマンさんがいて旅の良い思い出も残してくれてありがとうございます。値段は高いかもしれませんが、もう両親とはこられない最後の旅となる気持ちの高かった私には残るものを作ってくれてありがとうと言いたいです。
写真綺麗にとってくださりありがとうございました!父や母の最高の笑顔がそこにありました!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first experience using Veltra, but everything went smoothly, including the transfers! I think we saw about ten sea turtles. Additionally, we were lucky enough to spot a monk seal! It was a bit far away, so we could only see its head, but the staff was quite excited about it, too.
It rained a little, which allowed us to see a beautiful big rainbow, and I was very satisfied! I had researched the tide beforehand, but it was deeper than I expected, so we didn't walk on the sand.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, and the waves were rough due to the strong winds over the past few days, but the staff guided us, and we were able to enjoy it safely. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
今回初ハワイで、ベルトラも初めての利用でしたが、送迎等も問題なく楽しめました!
ウミガメウォッチングは10匹くらい見れたかもしれません。また、運良くモンクシールも顔を出してくれました!遠目だったので頭しか見えなかったですが、スタッフの方もかなり興奮されてました笑
雨もちょっと降ったため、大きな虹も見れ、大満足です!
潮位に関しては、事前に調べたものの、思ったより深くて砂場を歩くまではいきませんでした。
シュノーケルも久々で、また連日の強風で波も荒かったですが、スタッフが誘導してくださり安全に楽しめました。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

This was my third time using the service, and I have enjoyed it every time. It was my first time participating with a large group, and everyone was thrilled with the turtles. It got a bit windy and cold after a while, but we were still able to enjoy sailing.
私は利用が今回で三回目でしたが、毎回楽しいです。
初めて大人数での参加でしたが、みんなカメに大喜びでした。
ちょっと風か強く上がってから少し寒かったですが、セーリングも楽しめました。

I'm glad I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming. It's a unique experience in Hawaii! I was worried about swimming, but thanks to the life jacket and floatation device, I was fine. During the first try, I couldn't see the dolphins, but on the second attempt, with the guidance of the staff, I was able to see them perfectly. I'm glad I expressed that I was too shy to see them!
群れでイルカが泳いでいるところを見る事ができて良かったです。Hawaiiならではの体験ですね!
泳ぎが心配でしたがライフジャケットや
浮き棒のおかげで大丈夫でした。1回目の
トライでは、イルカをみることができませんでしたが2回目は、スタッフの方の誘導でバッチリ見る事が出来ました。恥ずかしがらずに見れなかったと伝えて良かったです!
Aloha!! M&H,
Thank you for participating in the tour of the Private Dolphin Middle School. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is not easily found in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.

I was picked up from the hotel, and since the tickets were prepared, I was able to enter smoothly. The guide also took photos for us.
Regarding the bay tour, it might be challenging if the waves are strong when going from the shallow areas to the deeper parts. The guide seemed to know the best points to navigate through, and we smoothly reached the deeper areas. As we progressed around the bay, the guide taught us the names of various fish and mentioned that there were several spots where we could find turtles. We were able to spot a turtle at one point, and I was delighted to see the cute sea turtle. After coming back from the sea, we enjoyed some snacks and juice before returning to the entrance to conclude the tour.
This applies to all beach tours, but it's best to go with minimal luggage. This time, they did keep our valuables (in a locked box), but that luggage would be left on the beach.
ホテルから送迎していただきチケットも用意されていたのですんなり入場できました。写真撮影もガイドさんがしてくれました。
湾の案内ですが浅瀬から深いところに出て行く時に波が強いと大変かもしれません。ガイドさんはうまく切り抜けるポイントを知っているのかすんなりと深いところに出られました。色々な魚の名前を教えてくれながら湾を一周するように進み亀のいるスポットもいくつかあるようで探しながら進んでくれました。一つのポイントで亀を見つけることができ可愛いウミガメを見ることができ嬉しかったです。海から上がりスナック菓子とジュースをいただき、入り口に戻り終了しました。
浜に行くツアー全般に言えることですが荷物は最小限で行けるといいですね。今回は貴重品を預かってくれはしましたが(鍵付きのボックス)その荷物は浜に置きっぱなしになるので。

I was excited to go to Hawaii for the first time and was determined not to miss snorkeling with dolphins, so I signed up for Dolphin School. On the day of the trip, after arriving at Waianae Harbor, we threw plumeria flowers into the sea during a safety prayer ceremony while wearing the wetsuits we rented that day, all while looking out at the beautiful ocean and searching for dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins that day, but while snorkeling, I was able to see schools of sardines, rays, and sea turtles up close. I was moved by the extraordinary experience of having a sea turtle swimming right next to me. I think that alone made this tour worthwhile! The staff were all lively and fun, and their efforts to entertain the participants were very evident. Thank you!
初めてハワイに行くことになり、絶対にイルカとのシュノーケリングははずせないと意気込んでイルカ中学に申し込みました。当日は、ワイアナエハーバーに到着後、船で沖に出る間に、安全祈願の儀式でプルメリアの花を海へ投げたり、ウェットスーツ(当日レンタルしたもの)を着用し美しい海を眺めながら、イルカを探していました。結局その日はイルカに会えなかったのですが、シュノーケリングをした時にイワシの群れやエイ、ウミガメを間近で見ることができました。ウミガメが自分のすぐ側を泳いでるという非日常に感動しました。それだけでもこのツアーに参加した価値はあったと思います!スタッフの方もみなさん元気でひょうきんな方が多く、参加者を楽しませようとしている気持ちがとても伝わってきました。ありがとうございました!
Aloha!! Unimo,
Thank you for participating in the tour of the prestigious Dolphin Middle School.

Dear Kanina, thank you for participating in the tour with your family. Your 6-year-old daughter did an amazing job and was able to see the turtles. It's wonderful to see your child's growth! The revenge tour was a great success. Please do come back to Hawaii with your family again. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
カンイナ様、この度はファミリーでツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。6歳の娘さんはとっても頑張ってくれて、ちゃんと亀さんも見ることができました。お子様の成長はすごいですね!リベンジは大成功でした。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはご家族皆様でリピートしてくださいね。またお会いできますことを楽しみに待っています。
