Hawaii
This time I participated with my 76-year-old mother. Since she can't swim, she gave up on snorkeling, but we were able to see sea turtles and walk around... and she was very satisfied because she could float using a floatation device. The waves in Waikiki were really strong, so I was scared and couldn't swim, so it was truly a good thing. Both breakfast and the BBQ were delicious, and all the tour guides were cheerful and attentive, truly wonderful people. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii!
今回は76歳の母と参加しました。母は泳げないので、シュノーケリングは諦めましたが、ウミガメも見れたし、歩けたし…浮き輪を使って泳げたので大満足でした。ワイキキの海は波がすごいので怖くて泳げなかったので本当に良かったです。朝食もBBQも美味しかったし添乗員さんたちが皆さん明るくて、よく気の付く良い方ばかりでした。又ハワイに行く時は是非行きたいです!
Aloha! Thank you for coming to the heavenly sea with your mother. This tour is open to participants of all ages. We hope everyone will come and enjoy it together with their families!
アロハ!お母様と天国の海にお越しいただいたんですね。ありがとうございます。
このツアーは年齢を問わずご参加頂いております。皆さんもぜひご家族一緒に遊びにいらしくてくださいね。
We participated as a family! We were anxious because we hardly speak English and my mother is not a good swimmer, but the Japanese instructor Musashi was cheerful and provided excellent support, even swimming with those who couldn't swim. We could borrow float boards for free, so there were no issues.
Of course, since we needed to swim towards the dolphins, it was better to be able to swim to see many dolphins, but even without swimming skills, we were able to see them properly this time. The dolphins were wild and not accustomed to humans, so they didn't come close. I was worried about whether we could swim together with them.
They guided us to a total of three spots, and at the last spot, we were able to see many dolphins up close, and they swam alongside us, which was truly moving. I think they were about one meter away. We were able to take videos with an underwater camera and took lots of photos!
After that, we went to a snorkeling spot while viewing power spots from the boat. The snorkeling was in a very clear area with a depth of about four meters. There, we were able to see a large sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed it.
One thing to be careful about is that the sea is deep, so the seawater temperature is cold. Additionally, it gets even colder on the boat due to the wind. It's better to bring a bath towel or a windbreaker.
Finally, we all danced the hula, and there was an explanation that made us think about ocean environmental issues, so I felt glad to have participated in the tour.
親子で参加しました!
私たちは英語がほぼ話せないことと、母は泳ぎが得意ではないので、不安でしたが日本人のインストラクタームサシさんは明るくて、泳げない人も一緒に泳いでくれサポート万全で、浮きボードも無料で借りられて問題なかったです。
もちろん、イルカのところに人間が向かっていく必要があるので、多くのイルカに会うためには、泳げるに越したことはないですが、泳げなくても、今回はちゃんと見ることができました。
イルカは野生で人馴れしていないため寄って来るという感じではなかったです。
なので、近くで一緒に泳げるのか不安でした。
全部で3箇所のスポットを案内してくれたのですが、最後のスポットではたくさんのイルカが間近で見れて、まさに一緒に泳いでくれて、感激しました。
距離的に1メートルくらいの近さだったと思います。
水中カメラで動画も撮れたし、写真もいっぱい撮れました!
その後、船上からパワースポットなどを見ながらシュノーケリングスポットへ。
シュノーケリングも透明度の高い場所で水深4メートルほどあったと思います。そこでも大きなウミガメを見ることができて満喫できました。
注意したほうがいいのは、海が深いので、海水温度が冷たいです。そして、船上は風が吹くのでさらに冷えます。バスタオルや、ウインドブレーカーなどを持参した方が良いです。
最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊り、海の環境問題を考えさせられる説明もあって、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
Aloha, Runrun-san,
Thank you very much for participating in the Private Dolphin Middle School! We are all delighted that you had the unique experience of swimming with Dolphin-sensei and Professor Turtle in Hawaii.
When you visit the Big Island, we also have tours available at Dolphin High School and Manta University, so we look forward to your next visit.

This was my first trip to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I was determined to get in the water, so I took on the activity of swimming with dolphins! The day I participated was sunny, and the waves weren't high, so I was able to see the dolphins right away on my first attempt! I saw a pod pass underneath me twice and even heard their calls, making it a satisfying experience.
I took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, but since I tend to get seasick, I felt a bit unwell. However, once I got in the water, I forgot all about that and was completely absorbed in searching for dolphins. After the dolphins, we had a lesson with the sea turtle professor, and we went to a spot where sea turtles are known to live. In the clear water, I was lucky enough to spot five sea turtles from the rocks and took lots of photos with my underwater camera!
I didn't have the energy for the last activity, but those who were kayaking and paddle boating looked like they were having a great time without showing any signs of fatigue. Since I was able to encounter the dolphins without much trouble this time, it became a wonderful memory. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I would love to participate in this activity again!
ハネムーンで初ハワイ。これは海に入らねばと意気込んでイルカと泳ぐアクティビティに挑みました!
私が参加した日は快晴で、波も高くなかったので1回目のチャレンジで即イルカ先生が見られました~!
真下に群れが通る事2回、鳴き声も聞けて満足のいくアクティビティでしたね。
船に乗る前に酔い止めを飲みましたが、自分が船酔いしやすいのもあり、多少気分が悪くなりましたが、海に入ればそんな事も忘れて無我夢中でイルカを探していました。
イルカ先生の後は、ウミガメ大教授の授業との事で、ウミガメの生息している所へ
透き通った海で、岩場から運良く5匹のウミガメがいるのを確認でき、水中カメラでバシバシ撮りました♪
私は最後のアクティビティをやる元気はありませんでしたが、カヤックやパドルボートを漕いでいる方達は疲れも見えず、楽しそうにしていましたね~
今回はそれ程苦労せずイルカと出会えた為か、すごくいい思い出になったので、またハワイにくる事があれば、こちらのアクティビティに参加したいと思います!!
Aloha Momo,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We hope you enjoyed your valuable time at Dolphin University during your honeymoon.
We look forward to the day we can meet you again, from all the staff and crew!

Perhaps because it was cloudy, the sea wasn't very beautiful. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation for that period, but it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined. The snorkeling felt more like just swimming, and it didn't have the enjoyment of corals and fish. If the weather had been better, my impression might have been different.
曇りだったためか、海はあまりキレイではありませんでした。干潮時を調べて、その時間帯を予約しましたが、イメージしていたサンドバーではありませんでした。シュノーケリングもただ泳ぐ感じで、サンゴや魚を楽しむという感じではありませんでした。
お天気さえ良ければ、この感想は変わっていたのかもしれません。
At the first sandbar, it was beautiful, and I had plenty of time, so I was very satisfied!
I could only see the sea turtles small and far away.
最初のサンドバーでは、きれいで時間も余裕がありとっても満足でした!
ウミガメは、遠くの方に小さくしか見られませんでした。
I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.
朝早くからテンションあげあげなクルー達と楽しくイルカ、亀をみれました!
船酔い、波酔いはあると思うので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。
自分は波酔いしてしまって後半滑り台とかで遊べなかったですが妻が他の参加者の方と謳歌していました :)
帰りの着替えする場所は船上かトイレしかないので濡れたまま帰る準備はあっても良いかもです。
Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness, but I'm glad to know that you enjoyed your time with the dolphins and the crew. When you come back to Hawaii, please take some motion sickness medication and give it another try. We look forward to seeing you again!
書き込みありがとうございます。船酔いされてしまったようでとても残念ですが、イルカやクルー達との時間を楽しく過ごしていただけたようでよかったです。またハワイにお越しの際は、酔い止めを飲んでリベンジしてください。お待ちしております!
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。
Despite the concerns raised by the news of the Kilauea volcano eruption, we set off for the Big Island of Hawaii! We enjoyed ourselves without any problems. Of course, we encountered manta rays. Shortly after entering the water, the manta rays came to us. Our Japanese guide, a stylish woman named Tori from Chiba Prefecture, took great care to ease everyone's nerves and provided us with a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
キラウエア火山噴火のニュースで心配の声も気にせずにハワイ島に出発!
何の問題もなくエンジョイ
もちろん、マンタに出会えたした。
海に入り間もなくマンタはやってきました。日本語ガイド、千葉県出身の粋な女性トリちゃんは一人一人の体調など細心の気遣いで緊張をほぐし、素晴らしい体験をさせてくださいました。ありがとうございました。
Aloha Mokuren,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University Night School.
We also appreciate your kind words about our guide, Tori! Please feel free to come back anytime. All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you again!

I had so much fun! I was able to meet the dolphin teacher right away, and swimming together was incredibly healing. The time flew by, and I wanted to stay much longer. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again. And Julie is the best! It was even more fun because I was with Julie. I'll request again!
楽しすぎました〜
いるか先生にすぐ会えて、一緒に泳げて、とーっても癒されました。
あっというまの時間で、もっともっと長くいたかったです。
ハワイにきたときにはまた絶対参加したいです。
そしてジュリ最高!
ジュリとだったからさらに楽しかったです。

Three years ago, I participated in Dolphin University, and I thought that if I could go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join.
I was moved to see many more dolphins than before. I could hear their calls, and they swam right by me. The snorkeling was better last time, and I feel like I had more photos taken then, but the main focus is the dolphins, so that's okay.
The group of three 66-year-olds was initially anxious, but once they got into the water, they were completely absorbed and having a great time.
3年前にイルカ大学に参加し、またハワイに行けたら絶対参加したいと思っていました。
前よりたくさんのイルカ達が見れて、感動しました。
鳴き声も聞けたし、すぐ近くを横切ったり、
シュノーケルは前のが良かったし、写真も前のがたくさん撮ってもらえた気がしますが、メインはイルカなのでOK
66歳の三人組も、最初は不安がっていましたが1度海にはいると、夢中で楽しんでいました。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! I'm glad to hear that your second challenge with the dolphins was a great success. Since we have many customers participating, there may be fewer photos per group during the tour compared to smaller groups due to the limited time. However, our staff will strive to overcome such issues in the future. Thank you for your valuable feedback, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! 2度目のチャレンジ、イルカは大成功で終えられたようで何よりです。 たくさんのお客様にご参加いただいているので、限られた時間の中でのツアーでは1グループあたりの写真枚数が少人数の時よりも少なくなってしまうことがございますが、そのような問題を今後乗り越えられていけるようスタッフ一同精進してまいります。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました、MAHALO!!
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 was a bit anxious being alone, but Julie was bright and kind in her response. I had wanted to join a dolphin swimming tour for a long time, but I never had a friend to go with me. This time, I came to Hawaii alone for the first time and decided to participate without hesitation. I was worried about not being able to swim well, not having much experience with snorkeling, and not being young anymore, but my strong desire to see the dolphins helped me get through it. Thank you so much to Julie, of course, to the warm Papa, to Brandon who led us, and to Mele who took beautiful photos!
ひとりで少し不安でしたが ジュリさんが明るく優しく対応してくれました。
ずっ〜と前からイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したかったのですが中々同行してくれる友人がいなく、今回初めてひとりでハワイに来ることになり、迷わず参加しました。
ほとんど泳げないこと、シュノーケルを使ったことがあまり無い事、そして若く無い事が不安でしたが、イルカを観たい一心で何とかなりました。
ジュリさんももちろん、暖かいパパさん、リードしてくれたブランドン、綺麗に?撮ってくれたメレさん 本当に有難うございました!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School! We are glad to hear that even as an individual participant, you were able to create wonderful memories with the dolphin teachers and staff! Please feel free to visit us again if you have the opportunity! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! お一人のご参加でもイルカ先生たちやスタッフと楽しい思い出を作っていただけたようで幸いです! また機会がございましたら遊びにいらしてくださいね! MAHALO!!
We participated as a couple!!
We achieved our long-held dream of swimming with dolphins!
We were able to meet them sooner than we expected, and it was moving.
Once we entered the water, we got to see a pod of dolphins up close!
However, there were many other tour guests, so our watching time was limited.
I wanted to see more, but I was very satisfied!!
In addition to dolphins, there were activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, allowing us to enjoy the unique scenery of the ocean while having fun.
The staff members were very friendly, and it was enjoyable even on the boat!
I want to participate again next time.
夫婦2人で参加!!
念願だったイルカと泳ぐを達成!
思った以上にすぐに会えて
感動しました。
いざ入水
近くでイルカの群れを見れました!
しかし、他のツアー客も多く
限られた時間でのウォチングでした。
もっと見たかったですが、
大満足でした!!
イルカ以外にも
シュノーケルやスタンドアップパドル等もあり、沖ならではの光景を楽しみながら遊べました。
スタッフの方々がとてもフレンドリーで
船上でも楽しいです!
次回も参加したいです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the entire tour. If you have the opportunity, please come visit us again! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度イルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ツアー全体を通してお楽しみいただけたようで幸いです。また機会がございましたら是非遊びにいらしてください! MAHALO!!
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。
I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!
Mahalo for your 5-Star review! As we like to say, the West side is the BEST side! We absolutely agree that snorkeling is more beautiful and exciting on the West side of Oahu, and the views of the Waianae Mountain Range make it even more of a 360-degree experience. As you noted, transportation is complementary from 10 pick-up locations in Waikiki and Ko Olina. Thank you for recommending our tour, and we'd love to host you again some time! Please check out our other tours - Nature and You or Island and You - if you're still in the area.
It was my day off and kids were at school so I figured, why not do a "me" just for a day! I invited my friend to join me since she happened to have the same day off. We booked the Morning Cruise at 7:00am since the water is usually warmer and calmer, and we decided to drive ourselves to the harbor. What's good is that there is a restaurant at the harbor where you can buy coffee or breakfast before heading out.
Upon check-in, we were already given our snorkeling equipments, and an option to rent their body suits, which we rented for $10 each. They asked us to sign the liability waiver, and I think' it's cool that they even take your instagram information so they can tag you photos (if you're in it) that they upload at the end of the tour.
The staff and crew are very funny and entertaining! As we were heading out to the ocean, they peformed Polynesian dancing, and playing ukulele. They also performed traditional Hawaiian prayer for our safety. As we were getting closer, we could already see the pod of dolphins, af the signal from the crew members, we jumped to the water and started to swim with these beautiful dolphins!!! I never swam with dolphins in the open water before and this was really exciting!! There were lootsss of them!!
We hopped back on to the boat for our next snorkeling location and that before jumping in the water again, we were given some activity options to take such as stand-up paddle boarding, canoe ride, water slide, and many more!! It was just an awesome experience!!
Their lunch burgers were delicious too which were served as we were headed back to the harbor. It was long day but it was all worth it!!
Oh by the way, make sure to take seasickness pills if you get nauseous easily!
Aloha Ms. Ems,
Thank you so much for your 5-Star Review! We are so great you got some great pictures from your day off. And we appreciate you calling attention to the fact that our tours are open to locals and visitors alike! It's a great way to have a little 'staycation.' We're so glad you enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Mahalo for sharing your experience :).
We would like to note for outside readers that giving Instagram or other private profile information is entirely optional. Anyone who does not want to provide this information does not need to.
When I put my face in the sea, I was able to see several dolphins swimming. It felt mysterious, and I was moved by the sight of the blue sea and the dolphins swimming.
In May, the sea was a bit cold, so I was glad I rented a wetsuit (for a fee). During our time, there were many guests from other countries, and the staff were very lively, making it a fun time on the boat. I could especially feel the staff's attitude of wanting the guests to enjoy themselves. It was a wonderful time.
海に顔をつけると、泳ぐイルカを何頭か見ることができました。
見たときは不思議な感覚になり、青い海と泳ぐイルカの姿に感動しました。
5月で海は少し冷たかったので、ウェットスーツ(有料)を借りて正解だったなと思いました。
わたしたちの時は他の国のお客さんが多く、スタッフさん含めとてもノリがよく船の上でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
特にスタッフさんたちの「お客さんに楽しんでもらいたい」という姿勢が伝わってきました。楽しい時間でした。
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin & You tour. Our entire staff is very happy and grateful to receive such comments. Please come back and visit us again!
ドルフィン&ユーのツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。スタッフ一同、このようなコメントをいただくことが一番嬉しく、感謝しております。また是非遊びに来てください!
During my stay on the Big Island this time, I had to change my original plans due to the eruption of Kilauea volcano, but the manta night snorkeling I was able to fit in became my best memory.
The boat moves forward, chasing the sunset sinking into the horizon from the harbor. It's a large rubber boat, so we straddle the edge and enjoy the feeling of being on a banana boat. After about 10 minutes, we arrive at the snorkeling point.
There is a bright light installed under a large surfboard-shaped float, and while holding on, we waited… and after about 4 or 5 minutes, they came! Mantas started gathering around us! They were gracefully gliding and feeding right in front of us. We had to be careful not to bump into them as they were so close that we could see inside their mouths and gills clearly.
There were nearly 10 individuals. Out of the 40 minutes we spent underwater, 30 minutes were filled with a manta ballet show. I have seen mantas while diving before, but the proximity and density were on a completely different level. It was truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!
今回のハワイ島滞在は、キラウエア火山の噴火で当初の予定を変更せざるおえなかったのですが、開いた時間に入れたマンタナイトシュノーケリングが一番の思い出になりました。
港から水平線に沈むサンセットを追いかけるように船は進みます。大きなゴムボートなので船縁にまたがり、バナナボート気分を楽しむこと10分程でポイントに着きます。
大きなサーフボード状の浮きの裏に明るいライトが設置してあり、つかまりながら待っていると…4,5分程で来ました来ましたマンタが集まってきました!
目の前でくるりくるりと舞いながら補食していました。あまりにも近くでマンタにぶつからないように注意が必要なほどで、口の中やエラの中までしっかり見えました。
個体数は10枚近くでしょうか。水中にいた40分のうち30分はマンタ乱舞ショーでした。
今までダイビングでマンタを見た事もありますが、近さと密度が段違いです。本当に良い経験になりました。オススメです!
Aloha Chalu,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University Night Course.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with the manta rays. Our entire staff is delighted. On Oahu, we also offer dolphin tours that include ocean activities. If the opportunity arises, we look forward to the day we can meet you again.

The weather was great, perfect for snorkeling. Kanako, the Japanese staff member, started with a thorough boarding announcement during the reception meeting and also informed us about the best seating positions on the boat, allowing us to have a comfortable experience. Throughout the boat ride, all announcements were in English, but she provided explanations in Japanese and took care of participants who felt seasick, showing exceptional attention to detail. I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Although I didn't see as many fish while snorkeling as I had hoped, I would like to join this tour again when I come back to Maui. Thank you very much.
お天気もよく絶好のシュノーケル日和でした。日本人スタッフのかなさん、受付のミーティングで、丁寧な搭乗の案内から始まり、船での座席のベストポジションも教えて頂き快適に過ごすことができました。また船中は全て英語の案内の中、日本語で説明してくれたり、途中船酔いした参加者をケアしてくれたり至れり尽くせり、とても細やかな気配りで助かりました。安心してツアーを楽しむことができました。思ったより、シュノーケルで魚は見ることが出来ませんでしたが、またマウイに来た際にはこのツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
Great family excursion! Absolutely fantastic trip with knowledgeable, informative and passionate crew. Friendly and relaxed. Swam with dolphins twice and saw several sea turtles. Our captain even found a second pod of dolphins so we could see another type. Watched spotted dolphins leaping into the air in our wake and even spotted a reef shark! Can't recommend highly enough!
Mahalo Trevor for taking the time to give us a review. We hope to see you again out there :) Lisa
The entire experience was amazing. The crew was friendly, the scooters themselves were fun, and the divers that stayed next to each scooter did such a great job showing the sights and making it fun. Easily a highlight of our trip!
I enrolled in Dolphin Junior High.
All the instructors were cheerful, and I had a great experience!
As soon as the boat set sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and were able to swim close to them.
When we arrived at the next snorkeling spot, we saw five large sea turtles, and we could also watch them come up to the surface for air.
In the end, we all danced the hula and had a fun experience.
The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring!
イルカ中学に入校しました。
インストラクターさんの皆さんが陽気な人ばかりで楽しく体験できました!
船が出港してすぐにイルカの群れを発見し、イルカの群れと近くに一緒に泳ぐことができました。
次のスノーケルスポットに到着し、2回目のスノーケルをすると大きなウミガメが5匹おり、息継ぎをしに海面に上がって来る様子も見れました。
最後は皆でフラを踊って楽しく体験できました。
船にはトイレもあって安心でした!
Aloha, Yosuke,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Junior High tour. We are all very happy to have swum with Dolphin-sensei and Professor Manta! It seems you did great on your graduation exam as well. ^^

It was such a great experience. Saw hundreds of beautiful fish. Our tour guide was excellent!!!.Dan is such a great person he made of excursion very enjoyable!
Thanks Melinda, you guys all did great. Next time we'll use fins! Dan.
I was not confident in my swimming skills and was anxious about my stamina, but the instructor provided excellent support. It was clear that they were paying close attention to each participant. The conversations on the bus were also very enjoyable, and we arrived in no time. The dolphins appeared right away! We also got to see many sea turtles. I never imagined I could swim with so many dolphins and sea turtles. Just the amazing location alone was more than satisfying, but it was the warmth of the crew that truly healed me. Especially the instructor, J, who is half Japanese and half Hawaiian, was beautiful. Thank you so much. It became the best memory. There seemed to be many repeat customers, and I completely understand why. With the best ocean and crew, I will definitely come back again! I think there are various reviews out there, but I hope you continue to stay true to your character.
泳ぎが苦手で、体力にも自信が余りなく不安でしたが、インストラクターさんがしっかりサポートしてくれました。
たくさんの参加者ひとりひとりをしっかり目配せしておられるのがよく分かりました。
バス中でのトークもとっても楽しく、あっという間に到着。
イルカ先生、すぐに登場されました!
海カメもたくさん会えました。
こんなにたくさんのイルカと海カメと泳げるなんて。
最高のロケーションだけでももう十分すぎるほど満足なのですが、クルーの皆さんの温かさに何より癒されました。

I saw a lot of dolphins! I was able to swim with them! When the captain spots a dolphin, he immediately calls for us to jump into the sea. During the first three attempts, we couldn't encounter any dolphins, but on the fourth try, we hit the jackpot! I think I swam with the dolphins for about two minutes. It was really moving. However, it requires quite a bit of stamina, and by the time we went snorkeling with the sea turtles, I was completely exhausted and quickly got back on the boat. Also, it gets quite cold on the boat. You can rent a wetsuit for $10, so I think it's a good idea to prepare one in advance.
イルカ、沢山見られました!一緒に泳げました!
船長さんがイルカを見つけたらすぐ海に入るよう声が掛かります。最初の3回は中々イルカと鉢合わせられませんでしたが、4回目はバッチリ!2分くらいイルカと一緒に泳いでいたんじゃないかなぁと思います。すごく感動しました。でも結構体力が必要で、ウミガメシュノーケリングの時間にはヘトヘトになってしまい、とっとと船に上がってしまいました。あと、船上はかなり寒いです。10ドルでウェットスーツ借りられるので、用意して行くと良いと思います。
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. Swimming with wild dolphins can be quite challenging! I'm really glad we were able to swim together in the end! We are all very happy that you had an experience that is hard to come by in Japan.
It can be a bit chilly on the boat after swimming, even during this season, due to the wind. Thank you for your advice.
When you visit the Big Island, we also have tours for Dolphin High School and Manta University, so we look forward to seeing you again.
Mahalo!!

この度はイルカ中学にご参加頂き、ありがとうございます。
野生のイルカと泳ぐのって大変ですよね><!最後は一緒に泳げて本当良かったです!!!
日本では中々経験出来ない体験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
船の上は風もあるので泳いだ後はこの時期でも寒いことがあります。。アドバイスくださりありがとうございます。
ハワイ島にお越しの際はイルカ高校・マンタ大学などのツアーもございますので、またのお越しをお待ちしております。
Mahalo!!

I participated in a snorkeling tour to Molokini Island. I requested a pickup, but a taxi came, and the driver didn't get out, so I didn't realize it was the pickup for the group tour, which caused a few minutes of delay. Fortunately, the hotel bellman was considerate and helped me get on the ride. The tour registration was in English only, but there was a Japanese staff member on board who kindly explained everything. We arrived at Molokini Island in an hour. The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful, but there were fewer fish than I expected, so it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. The one-hour snorkeling felt a bit long, and we got out early. I heard from the staff that the water temperature was somewhat low, so renting a wetsuit (just the top) for $10 was a good decision. Without it, I think we would have been very cold. We had lunch while moving to the next spot, Wailea Point. The visibility here is not as good as Molokini Island, but it's a spot where you can see turtles. At the place the staff pointed out, we were able to see three turtles up close, which was quite fun. Overall, I think it was worth going, but it might be better not to expect too much in terms of swimming with cute fish. Also, the boat does rock quite a bit. Since you can't land on the island, you are either in the water or on the boat, so it's best to take motion sickness medication as early as possible.
モロキニ島シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。送迎を頼んだのですが、迎えにきたのがタクシーで、運転手さんも降りてこなかったし、まさかそれがグループツアーの迎えとは思わず、数分ロス。ホテルのベルマンが気を利かせてくれたので、無事に乗車できました。ツアーの受付は英語のみでしたが、乗船スタッフに日本の方がいらして、丁寧に説明して下さいました。1時間でモロキニ島に到着。お天気はよく、海も綺麗でしたが、思ったよりも魚が少なく、わー!という感じにはなりませんでした。1時間のシュノーケルはちょっと長く感じ、我々は早めに上がりました。スタッフの方に水温はそこそこ低いと聞いたので、10ドル出して借りたウエットスーツ(上着のみ)は正解でした。それが無ければ我々は寒くて仕方無かったと思います。昼食を食べながら移動し、次はワイレアポイント。こちらは透明度はモロキニ島に劣りますが、亀が見られるポイントで、スタッフの方が教えてくれたところで、三匹の亀を近くで見ることができました。これは結構楽しかったです。総じて行く価値はあったかと思いますが、あまり可愛い魚と泳げる!と期待し過ぎない方が良いかもしれません。また、結構船は揺れます。島には上陸できないので、海の中にいるか、船に居るかなので、酔い止め薬は出来るだけ事前に飲んだ方が良いと思います。
The whole experience was being on the sandbar, which was amazing. However the tide was to our waist and it wasn't very sunny so I'd plan better for a low tide. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Don't get excited about the BBQ lunch. It was fine but frozen stacks of burgers.
The highlight of snorkeling was seeing a giant sea Turtle, beyond that the water conditions made it hard to see other fish. And I doubted the sterilization of the snorkel gear.
It was my first time snorkeling, and being older, I was a bit worried. However, I was thrilled to encounter so many manta rays! They came to us in such numbers, and it was a wonderful experience.
シュノーケリングは初めてでその上、年配者でちょっと心配してましたが⁉️
沢山のマンタに出逢えて感激しました、‼️
私達のために、というほど沢山やって来てくれて、体験できてとても良かったです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Manta University! I'm glad to hear that you were able to see many mantas. Please feel free to join our tours again if you have the opportunity. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はマンタ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! たくさんのマンタをご覧いただけた様で何よりです。 また是非、機会がございましたら弊社ツアーに遊びにいらしてくださいね。MAHALO!!
It was more fun than I expected, and I was very satisfied! Under the guidance of the fun character Musashi, I completed the Iruka Middle School curriculum! By chance, I got to meet the principal of Iruka, and the boat captain and crew members conveyed their hospitality so warmly! Is this also the power of Iruka? On the day of the Hawaii lantern floating, I was able to connect with the ocean and express my gratitude, which was also wonderful.
期待以上の楽しさで、大満足!楽しいキャラのムサシさんの引率で、いるか中学カリキュラムを、修了!偶然にも、いるか校長に会えて、ボート船長、クルーメンバーも、おもてなしの心がじんと伝わりました!これも、いるかパワーかな?ハワイ灯籠流しの当日、海と仲良くなれて、感謝出来て、これまた、よかったです。
Aloha, Kanyasu,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Junior High this time. It’s a lucky day to meet not only Teacher Dolphin but also the president on the boat! We are very happy that you could feel the warmth of the Dolphin family and get along with the ocean. On the Big Island, we also have tours for Dolphin High School and Manta University! We look forward to the day we can meet again.
Dolphin Office, Moe
Aloha, かんやす様

This is my fifth time participating! My eight-year-old child loves it, and whenever we go to Hawaii, we always join in!
This time, I didn't go into the water because I'm pregnant with my second child, but they took us to the sandbar in a kayak to keep us dry! Thank you very much.
Even those who didn't snorkel were able to ride on the speedboat, and the service was excellent✨
We were also lucky to have sea turtles swim close to us, and my child was thrilled to see them up close! Sometimes the turtles come to play, and sometimes they don't, but we were very lucky this time.
The food has changed from sandwiches to meat, and the meat was very delicious! (I'm not sure if the menu has changed or if it was a special menu just for this time...)
I want to go again! Thank you!
もぉ5回目くらいの参加です!
子供(八歳)が大好きでHawaiiに行ったときは
いつも参加させて頂いています!
今回私は二人目妊娠中で海には入らなかったのですが、カヤックで濡れないようにサンドバーまで連れていっていただきました!
ありがとうございます。
シュノーケルをしなかった方もスピードボート?に乗せてくださり、とってもサービスが良かったです✨
また海亀も近くまで泳いできて、とっても近くで見ることができ子供も大喜びでした!
海亀も遊びに来てくれるときと、来てくれないときはありますが今回はとってもラッキーでした。
ご飯は今まではサンドイッチだったのが
お肉になっていて、そのお肉もとっても美味しかったです!(メニューが変わったのか、今回だけ特別メニューだったのかは分かりませんが…)
また行きたいと思います!
ありがとうございました!
Aloha! This is already our fifth time!! Thank you. Next time, we will bring our second child along. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
アロハ!もうすでに5回目!!ありがとうございます。
次回は二人目のお子様もご一緒に。 その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!
