All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

As soon as we set off, we met a turtle, and within ten minutes, we dove at a point filled with dolphins both to the side and directly below us, which was quite an adrenaline rush. When I turned to the side, a mother and baby dolphin swam by slowly, as if saying, "Hello." Our guide, Dai-chan, advised us in the car that it’s good to be aware with our "third eye," which made the experience feel quite mystical with the dolphins. I would love to experience this again in Kona.

出発して、すぐに亀さんに会い、１０分もしないうちにポイントでダイブ、横も、真下もいるかだらけで、かなりアドレナリンでました。ふと横を向いたら、親子のイルカさんが、「こんにちは」と言ってくれてるような視線でゆっくりと泳いでいきました。ガイドのダイちゃんが、第三の目で意識するといいですよと、迎えの車のなかでアドバイスをくれたので、なんだか、不思議な気分をイルカさんと過ごした感じです。また、コナで体験したいです。

We are a young couple, 21 & 20! The staff were the friendliest people we have come across in Hawaii! The experience itself was worth every cent! Fish came right up to us, you can even touch them! Highly recommend!

Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day, we were able to see many turtles. The plan mentioned a barbecue lunch, but it was actually a cheeseburger.

当日はあいにくの悪天候でしたが、多くの亀を見ることができました。
プランでは、バーベキューランチと書かれていましたが、実際にはチーズバーガーでした。

The day before, there was a once-in-30-years heavy rain, so the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see corals and cute little fish, and sea turtles also popped up occasionally, which was enjoyable. However, today, unfortunately, muddy water from the mountains started rushing toward the sandbar, and when I tried to escape, it was already right in front of me, and I ended up getting soaked. My swimsuit got quite dirty, so I wish the guide had told us to get out earlier if they had noticed.

この日は前日が30年に一度の大雨という事で、海が濁ってましたが、シュノーケリングではちゃんとサンゴや可愛い小魚を見ることができましたし、ウミガメもちょいちょい顔出してくれましたので楽しめました。
ただし今日は運悪く山からの泥水がサンドバーに向かって押し寄せてきたので逃げようとしましたが、気付いた時には目の前まで来ていて浸かってしまいました。
これで水着がかなり汚れましたのでガイドさんには気付いていたのであれば早く上がれって言って欲しかったですね。

On November 14th, I participated in the Heaven's Ocean Tour. The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful everywhere, but the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was exceptional. I was also able to see many sea turtles. When I went snorkeling near the coral reef, a lot of tropical fish came close and ate bread from my hand. The hamburger I had on the boat was also very delicious. Thank you to all the staff!!

11月14日　天国の海ツアーに参加しました。　ハワイはどこも海は綺麗ですが　ｶﾈｵﾍ湾のサンドバーは格別でした。　また海ガメも沢山見ることが出来ました｡　珊瑚礁の近くでシュノーケリングすると　沢山の熱帯魚が近づいてきて　私の手からパンを食べてくれました。　船上で食べたハンバーガーも大変美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!!　

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was very anxious, but our guides, Chieko and Dan, were kind and made me feel very comfortable. Everyone snorkeled while wearing life jackets, so I felt secure even without swimming, which was a relief physically. This tour was the only one that promised underwater photos as a gift, and the photos were absolutely amazing!

I went in mid-November without a wetsuit. It was cold when I first entered the water, but I quickly warmed up. Everyone around me was wearing wetsuits, including our guides, Chieko and Dan, for sun protection. While having a wetsuit might be safer, it was fine without one, and I felt good. Renting one on the day was not possible.

I brought a waterproof case for valuables like my iPhone, but the guide provided a locked container for everyone to store their belongings, so I didn't end up using it. It's best to bring only the essentials, but it's safe to have tips and a mobile phone with you.

There was a changing room by the beach, and I changed before heading back.

シュノーケリングは初めて非常に不安でしたが、ガイドのちえこさん、Danが親切で非常に安心感がありました。
全員救命胴衣を付けたままシュノーケリングするので、泳がなくても勝手に浮かんでいられるので体力的にも安心でした。
水中写真のプレゼントを公言してあるのはこのツアーだけでした。
この写真が非常に素晴らしかったです！

11月中旬でウェットスーツなしでやりました。海に入った瞬間は寒かったですが、すぐに寒くなくなりました。周りの人は全員ウェットスーツつけてました。
ガイドのちえこさん、Danさんも日焼け防止につけてました。
ウェットスーツがあると無難かもしれませんが、なくても問題なくできますし、気持ちがよかったです。当日の貸し出しは不可能でした。

貴重品はiphoneなどを入れる防水ケースを持っていきましたが、ガイドさん持参の鍵付きコンテナに全員しまわせてくれるので使いませんでした。
必要最低限にすべきですが、チップ代や携帯電話などは持参しても安心です。

更衣室も海辺にあり、着替えてから帰ってきました。

The weather wasn't very good, so I couldn't experience much excitement. It was quite cold... It would have been perfect if I could have gone when the weather and tide were at their best...

あまり天気がよくなかったのでそこまで感動は味わえなかった。寒かったくらいで・・・。天気と潮が一番引くタイミングでいけたら最高だったのだろう・・・。

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.

I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)

I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.

The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!

If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.

イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

I was able to see sea turtles up close in an unreal space, and I had a great time with the friendly staff! Thank you very much! If I have the chance, I would like to visit again.

非現実的な空間でウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たうえ、気さくなスタッフの方と一緒に楽しい時間が過ごせました！ありがとうございました！
また機会がありましたら、リピしたいと思います。

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.

On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.

This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!

友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい！と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

The morning plan was unfortunate due to the weather. The wind was strong, and the sandbar was only about knee-deep, making it quite cold. I wanted to see turtles, but for some reason, I encountered a manta ray instead. It was so cold that I gave up on diving into the sea. The weather improved in the afternoon...

午前中のプランであいにくの天気
風も強くサンドバーもももくらいまでの深さでとにかく寒い
亀を見たかったが、何故かマンタに遭遇
寒くて海に潜るのも断念
その日は午後から良い天気になった…

We had a reservation at 8:45. It was a windy day and the water temperature was low, so it was a bit chilly, but the activity of being able to touch dolphins is unique to this place, and my 4-year-old son was really looking forward to it! The instructor was kind and friendly! She taught us where the dolphin's ears, eyes, and nose are, gently touched its belly, and fed it fish. At my son's signal, the dolphin would make sounds and jump, making us feel like we had the dolphin show all to ourselves! It was only 15 minutes, but it was fulfilling!

8:45からの予約でした。風が強い日で水温も低くて、少し寒かったですが、イルカに触れることができるアクティビティはここでしかないので、4歳の息子は楽しみにしておりました！
インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく、親切！
イルカの耳や目や鼻はココにあるよと教えてくれたり、おなかを優しく触ったり、お魚を食べさせてあげたり、子どもの合図で、イルカが鳴いたり、ジャンプしたり、イルカショーを独り占めした気分でしたよ〜^ ^
たったの15分でしたが、充実しました❗️

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

Snorkeling at Angel's Sea's coral reef was amazing because I got to swim with a sea turtle. Before getting on the boat, it was raining and the weather was bad, but it cleared up before we boarded, which was great. Angel's Sea is really shallow and the water is beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there weren't many fish. It's a gentle course for beginners since you can practice snorkeling.

The next coral reef was deeper offshore, which might be a bit intimidating at first, but wearing a life jacket ensures you won't sink, so it's reassuring. Since the sun wasn't shining, it was hard to see the coral from the surface. Once you enter the coral reef, it gets shallower, which increases your sense of security, but be careful not to touch the bottom as it can cause environmental damage. The rule is to swim around the coral reef. There were plenty of fish, and I saw a sea turtle swimming as well, which was really nice. By chance, a sea turtle was right below me, and I was able to swim with it, which was the highlight of the experience.

天使の海のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと一緒に泳げたので、最高です。
ボートにに乗る前は、雨が降って天気が悪かったのですが、乗る前には天気も回復したので、良かったです。
天使の海は、本当に浅瀬で海はきれいです。ただ、魚がいないので残念でした。
シュノーケリングの練習もできるので、初心者には優しいコースです。
次のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングは、、沖合で海底が深く、ちょっと慣れないとしり込みしますが、ライフジャケットを着ていたら、絶対に沈まないので安心です。
日が差していなかったので、サンゴの場所が海面からでは分かりずらかったのです。
サンゴ礁に入ったら、浅くなるので安心感が増すのですが、足を着いたら自然破壊になるので、要注意です。
サンゴ礁の周りを泳ぐのがルール。
魚も沢山いたし、ウミガメも泳いでいましたので、とても良かったです。
偶然に、ウミガメが真下にいて、一緒に泳ぐことができたので、最高でした。

I was finally able to go to the Angel's Sea that I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I saw a lot of fish while snorkeling! The water level at the sandbar was higher than I had imagined, but I understood that it can vary due to different conditions. I was able to go and come back quickly, so I enjoyed plenty of time in Hawaii in the afternoon! The staff were cheerful and interesting people, and even though it was a short time, I had a great time!

ずっと行きたかった天使の海に行けて、シュノーケルでたくさんの魚が見れました♡
サンドバーでは想像していたより水位が高かったですが、いろいろな条件が重なってできるものだと聞いて納得！
サクッと行ってサクッと帰れたので午後もたっぷりハワイを楽しめました！スタッフの方も明るく、おもしろい人たちで短い時間でしたが楽しめました( ˙▿︎˙ )/

The highlight of this trip to Hawaii was definitely this experience. The explanations were easy to understand, and it became a wonderful memory. While waiting for our turn to use the scooter, we enjoyed feeding fish from the boat and had the freedom to go snorkeling, making the wait enjoyable. The videos and photos turned out beautifully, creating the best memories.

今回のハワイ旅行の1番の楽しみでした。
説明もわかりやすく、とてもいい思い出になりました。スクーターの順番待ちの間は、ボートから魚にエサをあげたりシュノーケリングが自由に出来たりと、待ち時間も楽しく過ごせました。
動画&写真も綺麗にとれていて最高の思い出となりました。

At first, we took photos at the sandbar. It was a bit windy and cold at that time, but snorkeling was incredibly beautiful and fun. When I dove into the sea, there were many small and beautiful fish swimming around, and I was able to see several turtles as well. I'm not a strong swimmer, but while swimming and enjoying the scenery underwater, time flew by! I'm really glad I did it!

最初、サンドバーで写真撮影をしました。
そのときは風もあり、寒かったのですが、シュノーケリングが非常にきれいで楽しかったです。
海に潜るとテレビで見たような小さくてきれいな魚がたくさん泳いでいて、亀も何頭か見ることが出来ました。
泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、海の中の景色を見ながら泳いでいるとあっという間でした！
本当にやって良かったです！

I participated in June.
I was worried about the weather, but I was able to see the beautiful sea.
However, I was disappointed that the sandbar had water up to my calves, which was not what I expected...
The Japanese female staff member was very cheerful and kind, and she took various shots with the camera, which I really appreciated!
It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided all the necessary equipment and taught me how to use it, so I felt safe diving.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the food, but the hamburgers grilled on the spot were very delicious.
I definitely want to participate again!! Thank you very much!!

I recommend bringing a towel or hoodie, as it gets very cold after coming out of the sea.

6月に参加しました。
天気が心配でしたが、キレイな海を見ることが出来ました。
ただ、期待していたサンドバーはふくらはぎぐらいまで水位があって残念でしたが、、、
日本人スタッフの女性がとても明るく親切で、カメラも色んなショットを撮ってくださり
心遣いがとっても嬉しかったです！
シュノーケルも初めてでしたが、道具一式が揃っていて、使い方も教えてくれるので
安心して潜ることが出来ました。
正直、ご飯は期待していなかったのですが、その場でグリルしてくれるハンバーガーは
とっても美味しかったです。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います！！ありがとうございました！！

海からあがるととても冷えるのでタオルやパーカーを持参することをおススメします。

My daughter, who loves the ocean, wanted to participate in a snorkeling experience with dolphins! I read reviews and didn't expect much when they said you swim with dolphins, as I thought they would just pass by below while snorkeling. However, I was amazed because I saw them clearly three times when I jumped in! They swam close to the boat, and I could also see them jumping in the distance, which was great! We were lucky to spot something that looked like a whale on the way there too!

When I asked my husband, who usually doesn't get very emotional, what he enjoyed the most in Hawaii, he said, "I got a bit tired from swimming, but it was probably the dolphins..." so I think he really enjoyed it. Just keep in mind that even though it's called snorkeling, you have to chase after the dolphins when they come, so it can be tough for those who aren't good swimmers, and if you fall behind, you might miss seeing them. If you can swim normally, you'll be fine. If we get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would love to join this tour again! (*^^*)

海が大好きな娘の希望でイルカとシュノーケルに参加しました！
口コミを見てイルカと泳ぐ・・・と言ってもシュノーケルしてる下の方をイルカが一瞬で通り過ぎるだけそれほど期待してはいなかったけど３度飛び込んで３度とも見えたし下の方でしたがはっきり見えたので感動でした！
ボートのそばを泳いでくらたり遠くではジャンプする姿も見え良かったです♪
行く途中で鯨らしき物も見えたのでラッキーでした！
普段あまり感動しない旦那さんに『ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？』と聞いたら『泳ぐのにちょっと疲れたけどイルカかな・・・』と言っていたのでよほど楽しかったと思います。
ただシュノーケルと言ってもイルカが来たら追いかけるように着いていかなければいけないので泳ぎの得意ではない人は大変だし遅れると見えない事もあります。
ふつうに泳げるなら大丈夫です。
もしまたハワイに行けることがあれば参加したいツアーです。(*^^*)

I thought it would have been better to check the weather before participating since it was bad. The sandwiches on the boat were delicious!! I expected to see quite a few sea turtles, but I was a bit disappointed as I only saw them occasionally. Please bring a jacket or a bath towel for the return bus, as it can be cold.

天気が悪かったので天気を調べてから参加したら良かったと思いました(^◇^;)
船の上でのサンドイッチは美味しかったです！！
海ガメも結構見れると思ってたんですが、時々しか見れず少し残念でした(^◇^;)
帰りのバスは寒いので上着やバスタオルを持って行って下さい◡̈

It was rainy, but only in the morning, and I enjoyed it enough. The guide was very entertaining. During snorkeling, I saw many swimming fish.

雨だっだが、午前中のみでしたが、十分楽しめました。付き添い（添乗員）のお姉さんが、とってもおもしろかったです。シュノーケルでは、たくさんの泳いでる魚が、見えました。

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.

First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.

The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.

The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.

Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.

▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.

▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.

For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.

I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.

ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ！」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました；
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る！みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる～という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません＾＾；
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度？と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした；
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。

その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか～という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ！という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験！みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、ＢＢＱという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
ＢＢＱの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがＢＢＱと思って参加される方は「これだけ？」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。

その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。

▼気になった点
・ＢＢＱは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは？
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない＆聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく（数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね～という感じ）ちょっと大変＆席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない（数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな）

▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい

他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度（時間の幅取り）がほしいかなと思います。

少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

It's the best! You can easily enjoy it even without scuba gear or if you're a beginner at scuba diving! Large and colorful tropical fish gather around and peck food right from your hand! You absolutely must experience it at least once.

ｽｷｭｳﾊﾞｰの用具無しで､またｽｷｭｳﾊﾞｰの素人でも簡単に楽しめちゃう､最高!!
大きな､そしてｶﾗﾌﾙな熱帯の魚達が群がる様に寄って来て目の前で手から餌を啄むですよ!!
絶対に一度は体験すべし

I was so excited about my first trip to Hawaii that I forgot to call the dolphin desk after arriving at the hotel, but I managed to get in touch the night before and was able to join the tour without any issues.

The meeting time was 6 AM. It was still dark, with the sun not yet risen, when we were picked up by a bright yellow bus. I was quite sleepy and thought I would take a nap on the way, but the student council president (the guide) gave a detailed and entertaining explanation about the port we were heading to, the types of dolphins we might see, important notes, and equipment, all while incorporating some impersonations. As a result, I didn’t get a second of sleep during the approximately one-hour ride to the port.

We boarded a high-speed boat to search for dolphins, and it was so much fun! The boat sped along just above the water's surface, bouncing over large waves, making me forget for a moment that we were searching for dolphins. We got splashed with water, so it was cold regardless of the water temperature. I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I didn’t feel the chill, but my husband, without a wetsuit, seemed to be quite cold.

The boat went all the way from Waianae to beyond Ko Olina, but we didn’t find any dolphins. We returned to Waianae, but still no dolphins. The student council president's face started to look more and more worried. As the tour was nearing its end without anyone having entered the water, and just when everyone was starting to give up, the student council president made a surprising suggestion.

After checking the participants' plans, and since no one was in a hurry to return, we decided to continue searching for dolphins! This time, we headed north to Makua Beach. There, we found dolphins! We immediately jumped into the water and were able to swim with seven dolphins.

After that, we enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles at another spot before returning to the port, where we were taken back to the hotel. We arrived an hour later than scheduled, but I was really glad to have been able to swim with the dolphins.

In a typical tour, I think it would have ended with, "We didn’t see any this time. It can’t be helped since they are wild dolphins." But Dolphin Middle School was different.

I am truly grateful to the student council president and the crew for not giving up and continuing to search for dolphins until the end.

初めてのハワイ旅行にすっかり舞い上がり、ホテル到着後イルカデスクに電話連絡することを忘れてしまいましたが、前日の夜に連絡をとることができ、無事ツアーに参加できました。
集合は朝6時。まだ朝日も昇っておらず暗い中、鮮やかな黄色いバスでピックアップ。かなり眠たかったので、行きのバスで仮眠を…と思っていましたが、生徒会長（＝ガイドさん）より、これから行く港の場所や、見られるイルカの種類、諸注意、装備につい等々、モノマネを交えながら面白く細かく説明されるため、港に到着するまでの約１時間、寝る時間は１秒もありませんでした。

港から高速船に乗ってイルカを探すのですが、この船が楽しい！海面スレスレをビュンビュン飛ばして進み、大波を越える時は大きくバウンドして、イルカを探していることを一瞬忘れます。水しぶきを浴びながら進むので、水温に関係なく寒いです。私は＄１０でウェットスーツを借りていたので感じませんでしたが、ウェットスーツなしの主人はかなり寒かったようです。

船はワイアナエからコオリナの先まで進みましたが、イルカ発見ならず。ワイアナエまで戻るも、やはりイルカはいない。生徒会長の顔もだんだん曇ってきます。一度も海に入ることなくツアー終了の時間が近づき、誰もが諦めかけたとき、生徒会長からの意外な提案が。
ツアー参加者にこの後の予定を確認し、特に急いで帰りたい人がいなかったため、イルカ探しを続行することに！今度は北へ船を進ませマクアビーチへ。そこでイルカ発見！すぐさま海へ入り、７頭のイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
その後、別のポイントでウミガメとシュノーケリングを楽しんでから帰港し、ホテルへと送迎してもらいました。予定より１時間も遅れての到着となりましたが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたので本当に良かったです。

普通のツアーなら「今回は見られませんでした。野生のイルカだから仕方ないですね。」で終了だと思いますが、イルカ中学は違いました。

最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれた生徒会長やクルーの皆さんに感謝、感謝です。

I participated with my family on October 15, 2015. We've traveled to Oahu several times, but it was difficult to make a reservation, so we finally made it to the sandbar this time. The weather was nice when we departed from Waikiki, but by the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was pouring rain and very cold, making us worry if we would even reach the sandbar. However, we set sail as planned towards the sandbar. Along the way, the rain stopped, and we even saw sea turtles, which lifted our spirits as we arrived at the sandbar! The water was about knee-deep that day. All participants put on snorkeling gear and swam near the coral reef. Although the visibility wasn't great, we were able to see many fish. I looked up at the sky several times wishing for sunshine, but the staff's enthusiasm was amazing, and the simple sandwiches we had at the end were delicious! Next time, I definitely hope for a sunny day!

2015.10/15に家族で参加しました。
オアフ島へ何度か旅行してますが中々予約が取れなくて今回やっとサンドバーに行けました(^^)ワイキキを出発するときはお天気でしたがカネオ湾に到着するときにはなんと土砂降りでとても寒くてサンドバーにたどり着けるのか心配でしたが予定通り出航してサンドバーへ向かいました。途中、雨も上がり海亀さんも顔を題してくれてじょじょにテンションも上がりサンドバーへ到着です！この日はひざ下ぐらいの海水でした。参加者全員でシュノーケルをつけ珊瑚礁の近くを泳ぎました。透明度がありませんでしたが沢山の魚の姿を見ることができました。
何度も晴れていれば～と天を見上げましたが、スタッフの皆さん達の盛り上げ方も最高でしたし最後に頂いたシンプルのサンドイッチも美味しかったです！
次回は是非晴れた日に(^_-)-☆

I was moved to see the sea turtles. During snorkeling, there were sea turtles, and I was able to swim with them. However, I was a bit disappointed by the long wait times, such as waiting for the boat to depart.

Also, due to the timing, I understand it can't be helped, but I had imagined the sandbar to be a bit shallower; the water level was higher than I expected. The plan included about an hour of snorkeling time, but many participants were tired and got back on the boat after about 30 minutes, so it might be better to have a shorter time in the water.

ウミガメが見られて感動でした。シュノーケリングの際にもウミガメがいて一緒に泳ぐこともできました。ですが、船の出向までの待ち時間など待たされることも多く少し残念でした。
また、時期の問題で仕方ないのですが、サンドバーはもう少し浅いものを想像していたのですが、思っていたよりも水面が高かったです。プランでは１時間程度シュノーケリングの時間が取れられていましたが、参加者の多数派疲れて３０分くらいで船に上がっていたので、海に入るための時間は短めでもいいかもしれません。

THIS IS MY SECOND TRIP ON THIS ACTIVITY. I DO NOT USUALLY BOOK ACTIVITIES TWICE BUT THIS ONE IS THE BEST. THE SIGHT SEEING IS EXCELLENT AND THE SNORKLING IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN HAWAII. I WILL GO AGAIN.

I chose the afternoon course, but I might have had too high expectations for the sandbar, as I wasn't that impressed. The snorkeling was also not great because the water was murky, making it hard to see. There wasn't much to do at the sandbar itself, so I think the morning course would have been sufficient. The staff's service and lunch were really good.

午後コースを選びましたが、サンドバーは期待しすぎたのか、そんなに感動は出来なかったです。
シュノーケリングも海が濁ってあまりよく見えなかった。サンドバー自体ではあまりやる事も無いので午前のコースで充分かなと思います。
スタッフさんの対応、ランチは凄く良かった。

I participated in a dolphin tour for the first time. The weather was great, and on the day we joined, we were able to see so many dolphins in just one dive. A mother and baby dolphin swam right in front of us, and they were so cute.

There were so many dolphins that I didn't know where to look; it was really busy (laughs). I was so moved by the number of dolphins, even more than I expected.

After the tour, we were given information about a beach where we could see sea turtles, and we were able to meet them safely, making up for last year's experience. Thank you very much!

We participated as a group of three, and all three of us said we want to join again. It was a very satisfying tour, and I'm really glad we participated. Thank you for your great support, Mr. Nawata and Mr. Daisuke. Thank you!

初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天候にも恵まれ、私たちが参加した日は一回のダイブで本当にたくさんのイルカに会う事ができました。目の前をイルカの親子が通ったり、本当に可愛かったです。
あまりにたくさんのイルカがいたので、どっちを見たらいいのか、すごく忙しかったです（笑）。予想以上のイルカにすごく感動しました。
ツアーが終わってからも、ウミガメに会えるビーチを教えていただき、無事ウミガメにも会え、去年のリベンジができました。ありがとうございました！
今回３人で参加させていただいたのですが、３人ともまた参加したいねと言うくらい、
大満足のツアーで、本当に参加してよかったです。
縄田さん、ダイスケさん、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

The sandbar was cold. It seemed like it was a time of year when the beach wasn't really accessible, and I was constantly waist-deep in the sea. It wasn't at all like the small island I had imagined. I should have done proper research.
But!! After going snorkeling, my mood completely changed!
It was so much fun, and I really felt glad that I participated.
The crew was considerate towards families with children, so I recommend it for those with kids as well.

サンドバーは寒かったです。砂浜が季節的に？出ない時期だったようで、ずっと腰まで海に浸かっている状態で、私が想像していた、小さい小島？みたいな感じではありませんでした。ちゃんとリサーチすればよかったです。
でも‼︎シュノーケルに行って、気分一転！
すごく楽しくて、本当に参加してよかったと思えましたd(>Д<*)/
クルーの方々は子供連れの方への気遣いがあり、お子様連れの方へもオススメです。
