Since it was November, the temperature was low and the water was cold, but the sea was beautiful and I enjoyed seeing many fish. Both breakfast and lunch were moderately delicious and satisfying. However, since almost no one speaks Japanese, it might be more enjoyable if you can speak English. I didn't encounter any dolphins, and there was no explanation provided, so I was just sitting on the boat without much to do. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season.
11月ということもあり、気温が低く水が冷たかったですが、海はきれいで魚もたくさん見れて楽しかったです。
朝食も昼食もほどよくおいしくて満足でした。
ただ日本語はほとんどというかまったく通じないので、英語が話せる方だともっと楽しめるのかもしれません。
イルカにも遭遇することはなく、なにも説明されることはないので、ただぼ~とボートに乗っているだけです。
今度は暖かい時期にいきたいです。

We booked this trip before we arrived on Oahu and were slightly nervous about going as we had never snorkelled before. However, the staff on the trip were very friendly and patient, the food was good and the actual snorkelling was amazing. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone going to the island and we will certainly be snorkelling again - thanks very much for a great day!

Kailua Beach is a beautiful beach with cobalt blue waters and pristine white sands, which has been recognized as the number one beach in the United States. The East Coast of Hawaii is windy, making Kailua a mecca for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
The Kailua Beach Center serves as a hub, and if you get tired of playing in the ocean, you can enjoy shave ice from "Island Snow Hawaii," which is located on the same premises. Kailua is a must-visit spot when you come to Hawaii.
カイルアビーチは、全米NO1に輝いたことのあるコバルトブルーの海と真っ白な砂浜が綺麗なビーチだ。ハワイイーストコーストは風が強く、ここカイルアもウインドサーフィンやカイトサーフィンのメッカとなっている。
カイルアビーチセンターが拠点となっており、海遊びに飽きた場合でも同じ敷地内にある「アイランドスノーハワイ」のシェイブアイスを食べたりすることができます。カイルアはハワイに来たら絶対はずせない場所となっています。

I participated on October 31.
I was really surprised when I saw dolphins for the first time from the boat. I thought it would be nice to see them even a little, but they came right next to the boat and even jumped for us.
On my third try, I was able to see dolphins in the water. I was so excited that I forgot I was wearing a life jacket and tried to dive in. It felt more like chasing the dolphins below rather than swimming with them, but it was truly moving.
The staff members were very friendly and it was a lot of fun. There was also a morning call service, and it was great that I could ask questions in advance.
Some people had a lot of luggage, but I think if you wear your swimsuit from the hotel, just bringing a towel, something to wear if it gets cold, and an underwater camera would be sufficient. There was a comment about the lack of toilet paper, but when I participated, there was some available. If you're worried, it might be better to bring your own.
If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate and hopefully swim alongside the dolphins next time.
10/31に参加しました。
船の上からイルカを初めて見たときは本当にビックリ。ちょっとでも見られればいいなと思って参加しましたが船の真横まで近づいて来たり、ジャンプを見せてくれたり。
3回目のトライで海の中のイルカを見ることが出来ました。
あまりの興奮にライフジャケットを着ていることを忘れて潜ろうとしてしまいました。
一緒に泳ぐというよりは下にいるイルカを追いかけるという感じでしたが、感動ものです。
スタッフの方々もとってもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。モーニングコールのサービスもあり、その際に事前に質問も出来て良かったです。
たくさん荷物を持っている方もいましたが、水着をホテルから着て行けばタオルと寒くなった場合に着る羽織り物、水中カメラがあれば問題ないと思います。
トイレットペーパーがないというコメントがありましたが私が参加した時にはありました。心配なら持って行った方が良いでしょう。
またハワイに行ったら絶対に参加して、今度はイルカと並んで泳げればいいなと思います。

Snuba diving was by far the best, most fun, most relaxing activity that I've ever done on any of the Hawaiian Islands! We were well instructed and the staff (sorry I don't remember names) were very safety-conscious. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, and just to write about my experience now, I'm still smiling! I just finished watching the video of our group and re-lived it all over again. I highly recommend this activity!

I have lived in Hawaii for three years, and since I had never swum with dolphins, I decided to join this time by myself. I was anxious because I can't swim, but once I got there, all my worries disappeared! I encountered wild dolphins multiple times and was able to swim with them, and I also got to float leisurely with the turtles. What moved me the most was swimming among thousands of tropical fish; it was an unforgettable experience that felt like being in a dragon palace.
Even though I participated alone, the staff were friendly, and I was able to have enjoyable conversations with everyone else who joined. It was truly a fun time. There were also families with children, but the staff provided support, which made me feel safe. It was even more fun than I imagined, and I definitely plan to go again. Wild dolphins are truly different! Once you experience this excitement, you become hooked! Thank you to all the staff.
ハワイに住んで3年、イルカと泳いだ事がなかったので、今回一人で参加しました。
泳げないので不安もあったけど、いざ行ってみたら不安は全てふっとびました!
自然のイルカの群れにも何度も遭遇し一緒に泳ぐ事ができ、亀ちゃんともユ~ラリ泳ぐ事もできました。何より感動したのが、何千匹という熱帯魚の群れの中で泳いだ事が一生忘れられない思いでです。まるで竜宮城みたいでした。
一人参加でしたがスタッフの方もフレンドリーで、参加された皆様とも楽しく会話でき、本当に楽しい時間でした。
お子様連れの方もいましたが、スタッフの方もフォローしていて、安心だと思いました。
想像以上に楽しくて、絶対絶対また行こうと思います。
自然のイルカはやはり違います!この感動を経験したらやみつきです!

On that day, the first boat was fully booked, so I joined the second boat. The second boat left the hotel around 9:30, and due to some traffic, we arrived back at the hotel around 4 PM. It was nice to have a relaxed morning, but being out at sea during the hot midday hours made the sun quite harsh... I wonder if it's easier to see dolphins in the early morning.
We spotted dolphins as soon as we got out to sea, but since other tour participants were diving, the dolphins disappeared while we waited for them to finish. So, we continued searching for dolphins, cruising along the coast and going quite far until we finally found them. The search felt long, but the boat was speeding along so fast that it was exhilarating, almost like a roller coaster. Plus, the view of the majestic mountains along the land was quite enchanting (it’s said to be a sacred place), making the cruising enjoyable in itself.
Finally, we found the dolphins and jumped into the sea! However, I had hardly ever snorkeled before, so even though I got in the water, I was confused about what to do. I struggled to move towards the dolphins. I felt like I was half drowning... I got back on the boat and tried again. This time, I was a bit more accustomed to snorkeling and was able to swim calmly.
Dolphins swam right beneath me! I was so excited that I almost felt like I was drowning again, but it was truly moving. To see wild dolphins right in front of me! I felt grateful to the dolphins that showed up. I grew attached to them and wanted to come back to see them again.
Next time, I want to practice snorkeling more before joining again.
その日は第1便はいっぱいとのことで、第2便で参加してきました。
第2便だと9:30くらいにホテル発で、ちょっと渋滞もあったので16時くらいにホテル着でした。
朝は楽でいいけど、海に出てるのはちょうど昼の暑い時間帯で日差しが厳しい・・・
それに、やっぱり早朝のほうがイルカには会いやすいのかな。
海に出てすぐにイルカは見つかりましたが、他のツアーの人たちがもぐっていたので、終わるまでまっている間にイルカはどこかへいってしまいました。
なので、それからイルカを探してひたすら船を走らせました。陸に沿って北上し、けっこう遠くまで行き、やっとイルカを見つけました。
イルカを探して走っている間はけっこう長かったですが、ほんとに高速でびゅんびゅん飛ばすので気持ちよく、ジェットコースターのようなスリルもあり、また、陸には荘厳な山々が連なる幻想的ともいえる景色(聖地といわれている場所とのこと)が広がり、そのクルージングだけでもけっこう楽しめました。
そしてやっとイルカを見つけて海へ!
ですが、実のところシュノーケルはほとんどやったことなかったので、海に入ったもののどうすればよいかわからなくて、戸惑いました。イルカがあそこに、と思ってもなかなか進まず。というか半分おぼれてたような・・・
一旦船に上がって、二度目のトライ。
今度は多少シュノーケルにも慣れて、落ち着いて泳げました。
自分の下をイルカが通っていく!
興奮のあまりまたおぼれそうになりましたけど、これは感動ものです。
野生のイルカが目の前にいるなんて!
現れてくれたイルカたちにありがとうって感じです。
愛着がわいてしまって、もう一度このイルカたちに会いに来たくなります。
今度はもっとシュノーケルの練習をしてから、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。

We took a bus from the hotel and arrived at the port after about an hour. The guide was entertaining, and we set off on the boat!
While I was enjoying the scenery, I wondered if we would really see them, and then, suddenly, a pod of dolphins appeared! Baby dolphins were jumping, and they were so cute. When we dove in, there were dolphins everywhere! I could hear them squeaking, and it was incredibly exciting! I think I dove with them three or four times. The dolphins swam so fast that they quickly got away, but it was a truly precious experience.
I also got to see sea turtles up close, and I saw a lot of fish too. It became a very enjoyable memory.
I definitely want to participate again!

We set off with sleepy eyes for an early morning gathering. Even though I thought I would be swimming with dolphins and turtles, I was still so sleepy... After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at the beach.
From there, we boarded a boat and reached the spot where the dolphins were. We quickly jumped into the sea to swim with the dolphins. The water wasn't too deep, and I could see the bottom. There were more dolphins than I had imagined, and it was truly moving! I struggled to use the unfamiliar fins, trying to keep up with the dolphins. It was challenging to stay with them, but dolphins kept appearing one after another, which was exhilarating.
I really felt like I was able to observe the natural behavior of wild dolphins as they surfaced and dove. It was a truly moving experience.
After swimming with the dolphins, we boarded the boat again and headed to a spot with fish. There were countless fish swimming around, surrounded by beautifully colored fish, and I desperately took photos with an underwater camera. I can't wait to see how they turned out.
I definitely want to participate again next year in Hawaii.

海はそこまで深くなく、底が見えました。イルカも想像以上にたくさん群れていて、感動しました♪♪
慣れていないフィンを一生懸命使って、イルカに遅れないように泳ぎました。
一緒に付いていくのは難しいですが、次から次へとイルカの群れが現れるので、感動しっぱしでした。
水面へ浮上したり、もぐったりとほんとに野生のイルカの生態をのぞくことができたと思います。

I was looking for a snorkeling cruise with transportation and signed up for this tour (the transportation was provided by Jacks Hawaii). The afternoon cruise I participated in had few participants, so we were able to relax on the boat, and the crew was very kind in taking care of the mothers who were scared while swimming. The crew spotted dolphins on our way back to the bay and stopped the boat for us, but we couldn't see them very well. However, the sea was beautiful, and we were able to see colorful fish, which made everyone happy. The boat's facilities were also clean and comfortable to use, which was great!

参加したアフタヌーンクルーズは参加者が少なかったので船上ではゆったり過ごせましたし、泳ぐ時にはクルーの人がとても親切に怖がる母親達の面倒を見てくれて助かりました。
イルカは湾に帰る際クルーの人が見つけて船を止めてくれましたが私達には良く見えませんでした。でも海も綺麗で色とりどりの魚を見れたので全員が喜んでいました。

Trilogy has been in the boat excursion business longer than anyone here; and we can see why they are still at it. We came here to Maui in October 2008 and before in August 2004.
Their staff is well trained; they know what they are doing and where to go; and they are very helpful towards beginners and advanced folks alike.
This was my first time snorkeling and the staff really helped train me well so that I became confident very quickly. I was once a good swimmer but a major health crises kept me out of the water for quite a while and I was rusty. Ryan was helpful in reminding me of how to get back into swimming and then snorkelling became very easy.
The skipper had a great sense of humor and we will definitely use Trilogy again when we come back to Maui, using them for several different excursions.
When you are in Maui; check them out!

In just a few hours after arriving in Hawaii, you can meet dolphins and swim closely with turtles that should be basking on Turtle Beach, which can be nearly a meter long.
Even if it's your first time in the ocean, with support, you can snorkel and meet dolphins and turtles.
We were excited by the dorsal fins of the dolphins, holding a camera ready to dive, waiting for the captain's go signal.
Captivated by the dolphins and inspired, as a woman alone, I reflect on my sister Yuriko, who is currently raising five children and has established a private middle school. Feeling her heart while watching the dolphins and sensing the next marine school might be a good experience.
On the new boat, when you get hungry, light snacks, donuts, and chilled water bottles are provided for each person, all packed in a Toki bag that you can take home. There are showers at the docking point, allowing you to return to your hotel without feeling salty. Restrooms are available at departure and disembarkation, and you can change clothes, but since it's a local time spot, I recommend bringing your own paper and towels.
The tour is in the morning, and with the happy vibes learned at sea, you can also participate in other afternoon tours (it seems good to mention this to Yuriko when you join).
I wish everyone a wonderful local time. Please don't make the same mistake I did by relying on ABC Store and running to buy an underwater camera at a store that doesn't open in the morning; prepare the night before.
Thank you, Yuriko, Captain Boss, and Domingo, for a wonderful local time. Thank you, Alan1. Until next time...
P.S.: If the reference site jump doesn't work with copy and paste, it seems that removing the "%20" that sticks can help you jump successfully.

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I chose this place because there was a high probability of seeing dolphins, and it was definitely the right choice☆
I was able to swim with the dolphins perfectly.
I thought I had to go out to sea to see them, but as soon as the boat left, several dolphins welcomed us.
They even came close to the boat, showing off their jumps, and I was excited from the very beginning.
To swim with them, we searched for another spot...
I was starting to think we might not find them today, but thanks to the staff who were searching hard, we discovered another pod of dolphins.
We went to the front of the pod by boat and dove in.
There were the dolphins.
And there were even baby dolphins with them♪
They were so cute.
Dolphins swim fast, so they can get far away, but the boat brings you back close again, allowing you to swim with them multiple times.
Thanks to that, I was able to swim right next to them.
I never thought I would be able to swim so close, so I was really moved.
The staff's service was excellent, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, this is a tour I would love to join again.

かなり高い確率でイルカに会えるということで、ここを選んだんですが大正解☆
ばっちりイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました。
イルカは沖のほうに行かないといないと思っていたのに、船を出ると、すぐに数頭がお出迎えしてくれました。
しかも船の近くまで寄ってきてくれます。ジャンプを見せてくれたり、最初からテンション上がっちゃいました。
一緒に泳ぐために、別のスポットを探しに・・・
なかなか見つけられなくて、今日はもう無理なのかなぁ~って思っていると、スタッフが一生懸命探してくれたおかげでまたイルカの群れ発見。
群れの先頭まで船で行き、ダイブ

しかも、子供イルカも一緒に♪
すっごくかわいかったです。
イルカは泳ぎが速いので、遠くに行ってしまいますが、船でまた近くまで運んでくれるので何回もイルカと泳ぐことが出来ます。
おかげで、真横を一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。
あんなに近くで泳げるとは思わなかったので、凄く感激しました。

It was both of our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. I had previously participated in a dolphin tour in Guam, but I didn't get to see any dolphins then, so I signed up for this tour as a sort of revenge.
On the day of the tour, the weather was clear, and I thought, "Today, I will finally see dolphins!" However, when we got out to sea, there was absolutely no sign of dolphins! I started to feel down, thinking that maybe I just wasn't meant to see dolphins. But the staff worked hard to find them, and they finally spotted some! I was truly moved when I saw a dolphin jump.
However, we were swimming quite far out, and they told us that snorkeling here could be dangerous, prioritizing safety. Just as I was feeling down about that, the dolphins swam closer to the shallow area, and the staff said, "Alright, everyone, get ready to dive!" At that moment, we all jumped into the water at the staff's signal, and we were able to see the adorable dolphins underwater.
I was really touched. On the way back in the car, both of us fell into a deep sleep, and we ended up leaving something behind in the car. When I inquired about it, they found our lost item and said they couldn't bring it right away, but they would take it to the front desk that night for us to pick up. When we went to the front desk that evening, it was there waiting for us. I truly apologize for the inconvenience. I am very grateful for everyone's warm response.
新婚旅行で2人共初ハワイでした。以前私はグアムでイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、そのときはイルカに会えなかったので、リベンジと思い、申し込みました。
当日は晴天で今日こそイルカに会える~~と思っていましたが、いざ海に出てみると・・・イルカの気配が全くない!!私はイルカと縁がないのかな~とへこんでいると、必死にスタッフの方が探して下さり、なんとかイルカを発見!イルカのジャンプを見たときは本当に感動しました。
でも、けっこう沖を泳いでいたので、ここでシュノーケリングは危険、安全第一ね、と言われへこんでいると、イルカが浅瀬に近寄っていき、、、よしみんな潜る準備だ!と。それからはスタッフの合図と同時に続々海にはいり、なんとかわいいイルカを海の中で見ることができました。
ほんとうに感動しました。
帰りの車の中では2人も爆睡し、、、なんと車の中に忘れ物をしてしまいました。問い合わせてみると忘れ物を見つけてくれ、今すぐは無理だけど、夜持って行ってフロントに預けておくから受け取ってください、とのことでした。夜フロントに行ってみるとちゃんと届いていましたよ。本当にご迷惑をかけてすみませんでした。皆さんの暖かい対応にとても感謝しています。

The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab

This year marks our third consecutive trip to Hawaii in September. During our last visit, we participated in a tour to swim with dolphins, and this time we were eager to swim with wild dolphins again, so we joined the "Dolphin School."
Last time, we went on a tour called "Ryugu..." but this time it's "Dolphin School." The main difference is the type of boat. It's a significant difference, like comparing a cruiser to a boat. If you're looking for a leisurely resort vibe, "Ryugu..." might be the choice. But if you want to go fast and have an exciting experience, then "Dolphin School" is the way to go! Not only do you get to meet dolphins, but you can also enjoy riding on a speedboat, which allows for quick maneuvers and speed. You can swim with the dolphins multiple times, something that's not possible on a cruiser.
Dolphins are really fast! So, I realized that moving by boat makes a lot of sense. We swim hard together, but of course, we get left behind (T^T). So, we often circle back in front of the dolphin pod, wait for them, and swim together when they come! If we get left behind, we hop back on the boat and get taken back to the front of the dolphin pod again. Then we swim together again! It sounds busy, but it’s not as hectic as it seems. It’s fun, and we end up putting in quite a bit of effort.
In the latter part of the trip, we relaxed while snorkeling at a spot with tropical fish.
Here, we could swim alongside sea turtles that were gliding leisurely, and it was effortless to enjoy their company. They were quite large and adorable. Plus, the water was so clear that we could see divers diving right below us. It was such an interesting sight that I took some photos.
I highly recommend that everyone join and gain this experience! It's a must-try! (^^)
今年で3回連続の9月を使ってのハワイ旅行。
前回ハワイを訪れた際も、イルカと泳ぐツアーに参加した私たちでしたが、今回もぜひ野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい!!と、このい「いるか中学」に参加しました。
前回は、「龍宮・・・」って言うツアーに参加したんですが、今回は「いるか中学」。
何が違うかというと、ボートが違います。
ここは大きな違いで、クルーザーかボートか、みたいな。
ゆっくりリゾート気分なら「龍宮・・・」かな。
いきおい良くバンバン行きたいなら「いるか中学」!
イルカに会うだけじゃなく、スピードボートの乗船でも楽しめるし、小回りやスピード、停船の早さ、クルーザーでは不可能な行動力でイルカに何度も一緒に泳げます。
イルカって動きが早い!!
だから、ボートで動くって利にかなってるなと実感しました。
とにかく一緒に頑張って泳ぐんだけど、もちろん置いて行かれます(T^T)
だから、何度もイルカの群れの前に回りこみ、そこで待ち伏せし、イルカが来たら一緒に泳ぐ!!
置いて行かれたら、ボートに再度乗り込み、またもやイルカの群れの前に連れて行ってもらいます。
で、また一緒に泳ぐ!
みたいな。
忙しく聞こえますが、実際そこまで忙しくはありません。
楽しくって結構頑張っちゃいます。
後半は熱帯魚のいるポイントでゆったりシュノーケル。
ここには、海亀がゆったり泳いでいるので、頑張ることなく一緒に泳げます。
けっこう大きくて可愛いです。
しかも、透明度がいいので、真下でダイビングしているダイバー達を目視できちゃいます。
その光景が面白かったので写真撮っちゃいました。
みまさんにも、ぜひ参加して経験値UPしてください!
おすすめです(^^)!

I participated on September 6th. It was an afternoon course.
I've been visiting the Big Island for five years, and until now, I've only spent my time with volcanoes, golf, or driving...
But I had no idea there were such wonderful sea activities!
The water is incredibly clear, and you can see the corals and fish very vividly. I want to go again!
Kealakekua Bay, which has been a sacred place since ancient times, still has limited access for boats entering the bay. All the staff from the tour company were foreigners, so Japanese wasn't spoken, but it wasn't a problem at all.
You can also spend time at a nearby shopping center before and after the tour, which is convenient.
For afternoon tours, they mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but it was just a small amount of snacks and cut fruits, so I recommend eating something beforehand.
We bought ahi rolls (sushi) and soup at the KTA supermarket in the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center and ate them on a bench before going. You can also enjoy a stunning sunset from that shopping center on the way back.
9/6に参加しました。午後からのコースです。
ハワイ島に行きはじめて5年、今までは火山かゴルフかドライブか・・・という過ごし方しかしてきませんでした。
が、海のアクティビティでこんなに素晴らしいものがあったとは!?
海の透明度は非常に高く、サンゴや魚たちがとっても鮮明にみられます。もう一度行きたい!
昔から神聖な場所であったケアラケクア湾、いまだに湾に入れる船は限られているとのこと。ツアー会社のスタッフは全員外人さんなので、日本語は通用しませんが特に問題はありませんでした。
ツアーの前後は、近くにあるショッピングセンターで過ごすこともできるので便利です。
午後からツアーの場合は、軽食がでるとありましたが、少量のスナックとカットフルーツだけなので、事前に腹ごしらえをしてから参加することをオススメします。
私たちは近くのケアウホウショッピングセンターにあるスーパーKTAでアヒ巻き(巻きすし)とスープを買ってベンチで食べてから行きました。帰りもそのショッピングセンターから極上のサンセットが見られます。

I never expected to swim so close to dolphins and sea turtles, so it was really fun!
イルカや海がめとあんなに近くで泳げるなんて、
思っていなかったので、すっごい楽しかったです!
