We spent a fabulous morning searching for the dolphins and getting in the water with them. We were fortunate that there were only 4 others on the boat with us. The crew was outstanding and made sure we got in the water and knew where the dolphins were. The captain was fantastic at finding the dolphins and positioning us in the best place possible to swim with the dolphins. The boat was clean and a joy to be on out in the ocean. The crew and captain were very attentive and engaging. Great trip. Highly recommend!!

We participated as a family in a wedding ceremony in Hawaii. It was a tour of the sandbar that I had always dreamed of, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my chest. Additionally, it rained on the way there, and it was cloudy at the sandbar, so we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures, which was disappointing. I would love to participate again.
The staff were very friendly, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious. At the sandbar, there were small, beautiful jellyfish, and I was really worried because I heard that getting stung can cause excruciating pain, even for adults. My brother, who is quite tough with pain, got stung, and he said it hurt a lot, so I was glad it wasn't my grandmother or sister (laughs).
While getting stung was unavoidable, the staff's quick response after finding the jellyfish was good. It was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling. Also, the air conditioning on the bus ride back was extremely cold, and with wet clothes, I felt like I was really freezing. It was so cold that I thought we didn't need air conditioning since we were already wet, but it was still very cold, which was the most disappointing part.
海外挙式でのハワイで、家族で参加しました。
憧れだったサンドバーのツアーでしたが、残念なことに満潮で胸下まで水がありました。また行きのバスの途中で雨が降っており、サンドバーでも曇りで写真で見るような景色は見れず残念でした。もう一度参加したいです。
スタッフさんはとても親戚で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
サンドバーでは小さい綺麗なくらげがいて、刺されたら大人でも泣くこともある激痛と聞いてとても心配していました。刺されてしまったのが痛みに強い弟でしたが、かなり痛いようで祖母や妹でなくて良かった(笑)と言っておりました。
刺されたのは仕方ないですが、くらげを見つけた後のスタッフさんの対応も早くて良かったです。
シュノーケリング中にウミガメに会えなかったので残念です。
また、帰りのバスがすごーく冷房が効いており、濡れた服では寒くて本当に凍えそうでした。服が濡れているので冷房要らないんじゃ?というくらいなのに普通にしてても寒いくらい冷房が効いていたのが1番残念です。

My husband and I took the snorkeling trip on the Trilogy V out to Molokini Crater. What an amazing adventure! The crew was so wonderful and went out of their way to take care of their guests. The food was delicious! The crew served fresh baked cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast, a huge lunch, and an ice cream sundae for dessert, as well as unlimited beverages. The trip out and back from the crater was so much fun! The snorkeling was top notch! After snorkeling at the crater, we also snorkeled at Turtle Town where we saw beautiful sea turtles in their natural environment. There is nothing more amazing! I would highly recommend this trip and we cannot wait to sail with this crew again. Thank you for the amazing memories!

Great adventure with a well organized, professional, informative crew! Originally booked a different tour for my boyfriend as a birthday present, but Veltra contacted me when that tour wasn't going to run and connected me with this outfit, especially since they were based right outside our hotel. I'm so glad they did! We didn't see dolphins, but had a great time snorkeling and exploring the coast under the guidance of Captains Patrick and Cassie. Great experience all around. Highly recommend!

The tour was the highlight of our 3-night stay on the Big Island of Hawaii!
Seeing the beautiful sky, ocean, and mountains from the boat offered a different perspective than from land, and it was so soothing. To top it off, we got to swim with dolphins...
It truly felt like a dream!
Both my husband and I were not confident swimmers, and it was our first time swimming in deep water, which made us a bit fearful. However, by the end of the tour, we enjoyed it so much that we wished we could keep swimming. If we have the chance to visit the Big Island again, we definitely want to participate again!
Daisuke, Captain, thank you again!
ハワイ島に3泊した中でも1番の思い出になったツアーでした!
とにかくキレイな空と海、山々を船の上から見ると、陸から見るのとまた違った表情が見えて、それだけでも癒されるのにイルカちゃんと一緒に泳げるなんて……
本当に夢のような時間でした!!
夫婦そろって泳ぎには自信がなく、足がつかない所で泳ぐのは初めてだったので恐怖感があったのですが、
ツアーが終わる頃には、ずっと泳いでたいと思えるほど楽しめました。
今度またハワイ島に行く機会があれば、絶対参加したいと思います!
ダイスケさん、キャプテン、またよろしくお願いします!

It was a bit more expensive than other tours, but I signed up anyway and it was definitely the right choice! We got to see three sea turtles and swim alongside them, and we were able to see them up close. Because it was low tide, we had to go out further than we would have on our own to see the turtles. I don't think we would have seen them without Alan's guidance. It was worth the price. I highly recommend it!
ほかのツアーより高いけどな〜と迷いつつ申し込んだけど大正解!
ウミガメに3匹も会えて一緒におよぎ、かなり至近距離で見れました。
引き潮で浅瀬だったためウミガメを見るために自分たちだけなら行かない沖のほうまで。
アランさんのガイドがなければ絶対にウミガメは見れなかったと思います。
お値段の価値あり。絶対オススメです。

Since I was going to Hawaii, I wanted to have experiences that can only be done there! So I decided to participate!!
My impression of the experience is simply moving! I joined with the mindset of just wanting to see wild dolphins, but I was pleasantly surprised in a good way♡
On the morning of the event, a school bus picked us up around 6 AM near the hotel. It’s about a one-hour ride, but there was an explanation of the schedule and safety precautions on the bus, so I think it’s better to get plenty of sleep the night before since you won’t be able to nap. It also takes a lot of energy...
After arriving at the site, we immediately boarded the boat and set off! For those who want, there’s a rental of wetsuits for $10. We didn’t rent them, but it was quite cold on the boat, and it could help prevent sunburn, so it might have been a good idea to borrow one.
Within about 30 minutes of departure, we arrived at Makua Beach, a sacred place on Oahu. We received information that there were dolphins nearby!! Then, we saw countless dolphins jumping in a spot where we could clearly see them with the naked eye. We got excited, prepared ourselves, and entered the water. It was truly moving to see the dolphins playing right in front of us and to hear their sounds!! We encountered about 70-80 dolphins!!
After enjoying the dolphins thoroughly, we moved to a snorkeling spot and had fun snorkeling. This is the home of the turtles. As soon as we entered, we encountered a family of four turtles! The fish were beautiful too!
After returning to shore and changing, we took the bus back to Waikiki. We were able to return to the hotel by around noon, so we could make good use of the afternoon!
Even for us, who aren’t very good swimmers, we had a great time! I’m thinking I want to enroll in Dolphin University next!
せっかくハワイに行くのだから、ハワイでしか出来ない体験がしたい!と思い参加を決めました!!
参加した感想はとにかく感動です!野生のイルカが見れたらなーくらいの気持ちで参加しましたが、いい意味でとっても裏切られました♡
当日の朝は早く6時くらいにホテル付近までスクールバスでお迎え。
1時間ほどの移動ですが、バスの中でスケジュールの説明や安全に関する諸注意があり、寝ることが出来ないので前日はたっぷり睡眠をとって参加した方がいいと思います。体力も相当使うので、、、。
現地に到着後すぐにボートに乗り込み出発!希望者には$10でウェットスーツの貸し出しがあります。私達は借りませんでしたが、ボートの上はとても寒いのと日焼け防止にもなるので、借りてもよかったかも。
ボートが出発して30分もたたないくらいでオアフ島の聖地マクアビーチに到着。付近にイルカがいるとの情報が!!すると肉眼ではっきりわかるくらいのところで無数のイルカがジャンプしていました。興奮しながら準備をし、海に入りました。目の前をイルカたちが遊んでいたり、イルカの声が聞こえたり、本当に感動しました!!70-80頭くらいのイルカに会えました!!
充分にイルカを楽しんだ後はシュノーケルスポットへ移動し、シュノーケルを楽しみました。ここはカメのおうち。入ってすぐに4匹のカメの親子に出会えました!魚もきれいでした!
岸に戻って着替えて、またバスでワイキキへ。12時くらいにはホテルに戻れるので午後も有効活用出来ます!
泳ぎがあまり得意でない私達でもとっても楽しむことが出来ました!
次はイルカ大学に入学したいなーと思います!

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

I participated in mid-June. The day before, I went to the office to confirm my reservation and check the parking lot for the departure location, but the road from the parking lot to the office was under repair and was in the water. When confirming my reservation at the office, I was informed about a change in the parking lot. Since the communication was in English, it might have been unclear regarding the changed parking lot. The cruise was comfortable. There were no other Japanese people, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing due to the lack of fish, but there were fun activities like a slide to jump into the sea from the cruiser, which was enjoyable. The BBQ was delicious, and we were able to relax and take our time.
6月の中旬に参加しました。
前日、予約確認と出航場所の駐車場確認に事務所まで行くと、駐車場から事務までの道が修理で海の中。事務所で予約確認の際、駐車場の変更を言われました。英語でのやり取りなので電話で予約確認をしていたら、変更された駐車場がわかりづらかったかもしれません。クルーズは快適です。日本人は誰もいませんでしたが、皆、フレンドリーでした。シュノーケリングは残念ながら魚が少なかったので期待はずれでしたが、クルーザから海に飛び込む滑り台など、遊ぶ配慮
があり、面白かったです。BBQも美味しくゆっくり出来ました。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling, and I'm glad I went.
There were six participants and two instructors. Since it was my first time, the Japanese instructor guided me the whole way, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy myself. At one point, I got seasick and had to return to shore, but the Japanese instructor stayed with me during that time.
The others seemed to have gone far out to see sea turtles and then returned.
I would actually like to give it five stars, but I missed seeing the sea turtles, and I think it would have been better with a bit more time. If there had been about 30 minutes of free time at the end (for those who wanted to snorkel wherever they liked), I would have been truly satisfied.
I want to go to Hanauma Bay again. When I do, I would like to have Alan as my guide for this tour again.
初ハワイ、初シュノーケルでしたが、行って良かったです。
参加者6人にインストラクターが2人ついてくれました。私は初めてだったのですが、日本人インストラクターの方がずっと手を引いてくれて、おかげで安心して楽しめました。途中で波酔いしてしまって、一度岸まで戻ったのですが、その時も日本人インストラクターの方が一緒についてくれました。
私以外の人達は、遠くまで行って海がめを見て帰ってきたみたいです。
本当は星5つにしたい所ですが、海がめを見損ねてしまったのと、もう少し時間があれば良かったかなと思います。最後に自由時間(行きたい人は自由に自分の好きな所でシュノーケル)が30分位あれば、本当に心から大満足と思います。
ハナウマ湾、また行きたいです。その時はまたこのツアーでアランさんのお世話になりたいです。

This time, we participated as a couple on our honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Since it was our first overseas trip, we had some anxiety, but once we joined, that anxiety quickly disappeared. During the welcome and snorkeling, both local guides and Japanese staff were there to guide us, so we felt safe using the services.
To our surprise, we spotted a pod of dolphins shortly after departing by boat, and with the guide's signal to go, we jumped into the water. With the call of "Look down!" we were able to see many dolphins. Watching the dolphins swim happily, even though we are not great swimmers, we had a wonderful time.
After moving to another spot, we were able to swim with colorful and cute Hawaiian fish. Just when we thought we couldn't find a sea turtle, one surfaced for air right near us, which was both surprising and delightful.
Next time, I definitely want to enroll in other schools as well. Thank you for the enjoyable time.
今回、ハワイへの新婚旅行で夫婦二人で参加させていただきました。
初めての海外旅行ということで不安な気持ちがありましたが、参加してみるとその不安もあっという間なくなりました。
お迎えやシュノーケリングでは、現地の方とともに日本人の方が終始ガイドや誘導をしていたでいたので、安心して利用させていただくことができました。
驚くことに船で出発してすぐにイルカの群れを発見することができ、誘導員さんのGOの合図で海へ飛び込み「下を見て!」の声とともに、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。イルカたちが気もち良さそうに泳ぐ姿を見ながら、泳ぎが苦手な私たち夫婦も楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、ポイントを移動してからは、ハワイらしいカラフルな可愛い魚たちと泳ぐことができました。
なかなかウミガメを見つけることができないなと思っていると、ちょうど息継ぎに上がってきたウミガメが私たちのすぐ近くにいたので、驚くとともに嬉しかったです。
次回は是非、他の学校にも入学してみたいと思います。

I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old son.
On the day we attended, there were no sandbars, but there was a shallow area where adults could wade in up to their chests.
What surprised me was how accustomed the sea turtles seemed to people; they would come so close that I could touch them if I didn’t move away. While we were floating and playing, I noticed four or five dorsal fins about two meters away. Since we had gone snorkeling to see dolphins the day before, I rushed over, thinking, "Dolphins!" but the guide warned us, saying, "Shark! Shark! Shark!" It was terrifying to think that a shark larger than a person was so close, but looking back, I feel grateful for the rare experience.
The lunch was seasoned to suit Japanese tastes and was very delicious. My son, who loves rice, eagerly dug into the rice after a few days without it. Also, the salad they served right after we boarded the boat was still warm and incredibly tasty.
I deducted one star because the return bus was cold. There seemed to be no place to change, so we had to ride the bus wet, wrapped in beach towels, back to the hotel. It would have been nice if they could have given us some time to change, even if it was just at a restroom somewhere. Aside from that, it was a tour that I was very satisfied with, deserving of a full five stars.
I had a great time! Thank you very much.
*You need to take off beach sandals and Crocs when boarding the boat, but it seems you could wear aqua shoes. I noticed someone had injured their foot, so if you can, it's better to bring aqua shoes. They were selling them on the boat for $20. Disposable waterproof cameras were also available for $20. They were selling a photo collection taken by a photographer (probably given on a CD-R?), so even though there were no lockers, since everyone participating was Japanese, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you.*
主人と5歳の息子と参加しました。
参加した日はサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、大人が海に入って胸まで水がくるくらいまでの浅瀬が続いていました。
驚いたのは、ウミガメが人に馴れているのか、こっちが逃げないと触れるくらい近づいてくるほどでした。子供と漂って遊んでいると、2メートル先くらいに背びれが4つか5つ…。前日、イルカを見るシュノーケリングに参加していたので「イルカだ!!」と近寄っていくと、ガイドさんが「サメ!鮫!サメ!」と言って注意してくれました。人の身長よりも大きいサメがすぐそばにいたかと思うと恐ろしいんですが、今思うと貴重な体験ができたな~と感動しています。
昼食も日本人好みに味付けされていて、とても美味しかったです。
ごはんが好きな息子も、数日ぶりのお米にかぶりついていました。
あと、船に乗ってすぐに出してもらったマサラダもまだ温かくって、すごく美味しかったです。
星マイナス1にしたのは、帰りのバスが寒かった事くらい。

《ビーチサンダルとクロックス等は船に乗る際に脱がないといけません。でも、アクアシューズなら履いていても良かったみたいです。足を怪我されていた方もいたみたいなので、用意できるならアクアシューズを持参した方が良いですよ。船の上でも20ドルで販売してました。使い捨て防水カメラも20ドルでした。カメラマンが撮ってくれる写真集みたいなの(たぶんCD-Rで渡されるのかな?)も販売されていたので、鍵付の荷物入れはなかったのですが、参加しているのは日本人ばかりだったので、多少のお金は持って行ったほうがいいですよ》

I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old child.
As soon as we left the hotel, it started to rain... Our guide, Sue, said, "It's the first rain in six months. But don't worry! This rain is a cleansing rain!" True to her words, by the time we reached the sea, the rain had stopped and the blue sky began to peek through.
However, it's definitely better to rent a wetsuit. It was cold on the boat due to the wind, and I've heard that jellyfish have been appearing lately. Everyone in our group rented wetsuits.
Once we got out to sea, we immediately saw a pod of dolphins! Moreover, they came to us without us having to chase them, swimming right below and beside us while we just floated in the water. Just before we got back on the boat, a huge school of sardines came by, allowing us to experience being surrounded by a black mass of fish. Apparently, this is not something that usually happens. We also saw about five sea turtles. It was so much fun!
Since it was our child's first time at the sea, I was a bit worried, thinking, "Will he be okay?" but he seemed to have a great time.
Above all, our guide Sue was incredibly entertaining. She provided detailed instructions because not paying attention could lead to injuries or cause the dolphins to escape, but she delivered the information with plenty of humor, which really lifted the mood.
My husband is more of an indoor person, so he didn't have high expectations for Hawaii's activities, but he said, "Let's come again! Since I don't have much stamina, let's do this again in middle school!"
We truly had a valuable experience. Thank you very much!!
《It's mentioned that it's good to bring some cash, but you should definitely have around $100 for the wetsuit rental, the photo fee of $50 (you can choose between data or CD), and tips.》
主人と5歳の子供の3人で参加しました。
ホテルを出ると雨…。ガイドのスーさんも「半年ぶりの雨です。でも大丈夫!この雨はお掃除の雨ですから!」との事。言葉通り、海へ着く頃には雨もあがって青空がのぞいてきました。
ただ、ウエットスーツはレンタルした方が絶対いいです。船の上は風もあって寒いのと、最近はクラゲがでるらしいので。私たちが参加したグループは皆レンタルしてました。
海へでると、すぐにイルカの群がいました~!しかも、おっかけなくてもイルカの方から来てくれたので、海に浮いてるだけで下や横を通ってくれました。船にあがるちょっと前にイワシの大群がやってきて、黒い群れの中に身を置くという体験もできました。普通こんなことは無いらしいです。ウミガメも5匹くらい見れました。めっちゃ楽しかったです。
5歳の子供は海へ行くのも初めてだったので「大丈夫かな?」と思っていたのですが、すごく楽しそうでした。
なんと言っても、ガイドのスーさんがとても楽しかったです。
説明を聞いていないと怪我につながったり、イルカが逃げたりするので、細かく注意が入るのですが、それもユーモアたっぷりに話してくださって場を盛り上げてくださってました。

I participated in this activity because I wanted to safely enjoy the unique marine activities that Hawaii Island has to offer. Although you need to get to the location, we arrived in about 40 minutes from Mauna Lani by rental car. It's easy to find, using the blue roof of the marina as a landmark. The reception is in English, but there were no issues, and we could relax while waiting for departure, greeted by the welcoming dog.
We were first given a sheet with important points and sightseeing tips in Japanese, which helped us understand the tour's content. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, but we were able to bond with a few simple greetings. We sped across the ocean for about an hour to the snorkeling point. They say we were going about 40 kilometers per hour, but it felt like we were cruising at around 80 kilometers per hour, which was quite thrilling.
At the snorkeling point, the captain provided a detailed explanation on how to wear the mask and use the snorkel. My wife was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket and borrowing a floating board helped her feel safe and enjoy the experience. The snorkeling spot was filled with beautiful coral and tropical fish, and we never got tired of the view.
Onboard, we enjoyed light snacks, including fruits and sandwiches that the captain kindly prepared. On the way back, we enjoyed another refreshing cruise while exploring caves! After snorkeling, it's easy to get cold, so it's better to bring a large bath towel, and since the sun is intense, sunscreen is definitely necessary. I think it's a good idea to bring a camera as it won't get wet.
ハワイ島で安全に楽しめ、かつハワイ島ならではの海のアクティビティが経験したくてこちらのアクティビティに参加しました。こちらは現地まで行く必要がありますが私達はレンタカーでマウナラニから約40分で到着しました。マリーナの青い屋根を目印に簡単に到着する事が出来ます。受け付けは英語ですが特に問題はなく看板犬のお出迎えで癒されながら出発を待つ事が出来ます。最初に日本語の注意点と観光のポイントが書かれたシートを渡されツアーの内容を知る事ができます。私達以外は皆英語圏の人でしたが最初のカタコトの挨拶で打ち解ける事が出来ました。シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間くらい海原を大疾走します。時速40キロくらいらしいのですが体感的には80キロくらいは出ているような迫力のあるクルージングが楽しめます。シュノーケリングポイントではキャプテンからマスクの被り方やシュノーケルの使い方など丁寧にレクチャーがあります。深い海でのシュノーケルを妻が不安に思っていましたがライフジャケットを身に付けさらにフローティングボードも借りる事で安心して楽しめたようです。シュノーケリングポイントは珊瑚と熱帯魚が素晴らしく見飽きる事はありません。船上での軽食も和気あいあいとキャプテンが切ってくれるフルーツやサンドイッチを楽しむ事ができます。帰りは洞窟巡りをしながらまた爽快なクルージングを楽しむ事ができました!シュノーケリングの後は体が冷えやすいので大き目のバスタオルを用意して行った方が良いのと日差しが強烈なので日焼け止めは必ず必要です。カメラは濡れないので持って行った方が良いと思います。

We went to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! I decided to join this tour after reading everyone's experiences. The sandbar was perfectly sandy, and it was a valuable experience. I was moved to see sea turtles, and I got some great photos! Snorkeling was also incredibly fun! I wish I could have done a little more! The staff were all women, which created a nice atmosphere! The captain was especially cool~(^^♪ I want to see the turtles and all the staff again! Thank you for the wonderful time.
結婚25年の記念にハワイへ行きました!
このツアーも皆さんの体験談を読んで参加を決めました。
サンドバーは完ぺきに砂浜になっていて貴重な体験が出来ました。
海亀にも会えて感動しました。写真もバッチリ撮れました!
シュノーケリングも最高に楽しかったです!もうちょっとやりたかったな!
スタッフが皆女性で雰囲気良かったです!特にキャプテンはカッコ良かった~(^^♪

The Japanese guide was also present and provided thorough explanations. Initially, I requested only snorkeling, but I changed to snuba on the boat. I was amazed by the beauty of the sea around Molokini Island and the many fish! I even encountered a sea turtle right next to me; it was a fun experience!
日本人ガイドも在籍で説明も丁寧で最初はシュノーケリングのみでお願いしていたのですが船上でスヌーバに変更モロキニ島の海の綺麗さたくさんの魚に感動しました!!ウミガメも真横で出会え楽しい体験でした

It was my first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon! I really wanted to see a sandbar like in the pictures, so I checked the tide schedule on the website before going! As a result, it was a great decision! (*^^*) The white sandy beach and blue ocean were beautiful, creating a lifelong memory! I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays as well. I wished I could have snorkeled a bit longer, but since it was a morning-only tour, it couldn't be helped! The staff, including Yukiko, were all very kind! Overall, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points, but I think the satisfaction level can vary greatly depending on the tides and weather!
新婚旅行で初ハワイでした!どうしても写真のようなサンドバーが見たかったのでWebサイトで潮の満ち引きを確認してから行きました!結果、大正解!(*^^*)白い砂浜と青い海がキレイで一生の思い出になりました!海ガメも見れたしマンタも見ることが出来ました。シュノーケルはもう少し長くしたかったけど、午前中だけのツアーだったので仕方ありません!スタッフのyukikoさんはじめ皆さんとても親切でした!私は結果、100点満点ですが潮の満ち引きや天気によって満足度が大きく違ってくるツアーかなと思いました!

This tour was pretty cool. I wasn't sure what to expect and was really nervous but everyone friendly and helpful. One of the guides, Sean, can come off a little abrasive to an anxious person like me and kind of seemed like "oh great, I have deal with a tourist who doesn't know what they're doing" but the main guy (I can't remember his name, sorry) made up for him and really helped me out when I was having difficulty. The diversity of fish and life that you get to see is beautiful and amazing! I would highly recommend this activity!

CPT Pononui Lealao and his assistant were great and provided us with a great adventure of being able to swim with the dolphins. Awesome adventure.

It's very beautiful. The water level changes depending on the time of day, so it might be a good idea to check in advance. When I went, the water was about knee-deep, but it was still enjoyable. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious. You can snorkel and swim over the coral. However, the visibility wasn't as good as I expected. You can see sea turtles from the boat.
とても綺麗です。時間帯により水位が変わるので、事前に調べて行った方が良いかも。
私の時は膝上くらいありましたが、それでも楽しめます。昼食のハンバーガーも美味しいです。シュノーケリングも珊瑚の上を泳げます。ただおもったより透明度はありませんでした。ウミガメは船の上から見えます。

I was very satisfied to be able to see dolphins up close. I could tell that Daisuke, who guided us, truly cares about the dolphins. It was a precious experience to see the dolphins come up close to the surface of the water.
I was so excited that I couldn't take any photos at all, but I will keep the memories etched in my mind. When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to go see the dolphins again.
こんなにイルカを近くで見ることができて満足でした。
案内をしてくれたダイスケさんが本当にイルカを大事にいているのと話すことができるというのがわかりました。
イルカが水面ぎりぎりまで上がってきてくれたりして貴重な体験ができました。
興奮しすぎて写真を全然とれませんでしたが、記憶に焼き付けておきます。
またハワイ訪れた際はぜひまたイルカに会いに行きたいです。

the captain gave us an outstanding sailing adventure. the snorkeling at Molokini was only so-so. that was not something he could control. the turtle place he took us to was outstanding. the crew was very helpful and respectful. they served a great meal, and snacks too.

I wasn't really sure about rafting, but it turned out to be so much fun! So, we signed up for it as a pair. When we arrived at the site, we were greeted by a bright and cheerful female crew member, and as we headed to the boat, a cool captain was waiting for us, which got me excited.
Rafting was more intense than I expected, and the rubber boat tilted at about a 45-degree angle, which honestly took me by surprise! We had two snorkeling sessions, and there were also sights like Captain Cook Point and dolphin watching. Throughout it all, the crew member was smiling, and it was a rich experience within a relaxed atmosphere. During snorkeling, I got a bit carried away and jumped into the sea, accidentally dropping the pipe to the seabed, but when I saw the captain dive in coolly saying, "Leave it to me," I couldn't help but think, "Captain Kenway!"
Since it was a tour from morning until early afternoon, by the time we returned to the port, one side of my thighs was sunburned. I should have sat on the other side too, haha. I recommend applying sunscreen properly or bringing a large towel with you.
The T-shirts the crew wore were really cool, so my only regret is that I didn't buy one on the way back.
ラフティングってあまりピンとこなかったんだけど、楽しいから!って事で2人で申し込んだ。現地に着くと底抜けに明るいクルーの女性の挨拶があって船に向かうと渋い船長が待っていてワクワクした。
ラフティングは思ったよりも過激で、ゴムボートが45度ぐらい傾いたので正直面食らった!
シュノーケルが2回、キャプテン・クックポイントやイルカに釣り見物なんかもあったけど終始クルーの女の子が笑っていて、ゆったりとした時間の中で内容の濃い物だった。シュノーケルの時、調子に乗って海に飛び込んでパイプを海底に落としちゃったんだけど、船長が「俺に任せろ。」ってかっこよく飛び込んでくれたのを見た時は思わず「ケンウェイ船長!」って思ったよ。
朝からお昼過ぎまでのツアーなので港に帰るころには太ももが片側だけ焼けてしまった。反対側にも座れば良かったw しっかり日焼け止めを塗るか大きめのタオルを持って行く事をお勧めします。
クルーが着ていたTシャツがかなりかっこよかったので、帰りに買ってこなかったのが唯一の後悔です。
