All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I visited on December 6, 2013. This time, I was picked up from Ko Olina, so it was very easy with only about a 30-minute ride. It saves about an hour compared to going from Honolulu, so I especially recommend it for those staying in Ko Olina. This tour had about 20 participants, with a wide age range from their 20s to 60s, which made it feel cozy and nice. The guide spoke only in Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable participating. From the port, we took a boat for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach an area where dolphins might be. The boat also passed through stunning scenery, so we could enjoy the views. The captain found a spot where dolphins were likely to be and prepared for snorkeling. After jumping into the water, we encountered a large group of dolphins just one minute later! There were about 20 dolphins gracefully swimming slowly about 7 to 8 meters away. I was surprised at how quickly we found them! After the group moved away, we returned to the boat and headed to the next spot. The second encounter was amazing, with a group of 30 to 40 dolphins. Furthermore, the dolphins came up close, just about 3 meters away. I could even hear their sounds, and it truly felt like we were swimming together. I recommend this experience for families, couples, and friends. The guide mentioned that encounters like this happen only about twice a year...

２０１３年１２月６日に行ってきました。今回はコオリナからのピックアップでしたので、片道３０分程でとても楽々でした。ホノルルから行くより１時間くらいは時間短縮出来るので、コオリナの宿泊の方は特にお勧めです。今回は２０名ほどのツアーで、年齢層も２０代～６０代と幅広くこじんまりした感じで良かったです。ガイドもすべて日本語でとても安心して参加できました。港からは約２０分～３０分ほど船に乗り、イルカのいそうな場所へ向かいます。この船も絶景を通るので景色も堪能できます。船長がイルカのいそうな現場を見つけシュノーケル準備。海に飛び込み１分後、早速イルカの大群に遭遇！！！推進７～８メートルくらいを２０頭ほどで優雅にゆっくりと泳いでます。こんなにすぐ！という感じでビックリ！一旦群れが去ったので船に戻り、次のスポットへ。２回目が凄く、群れが３０～４０頭。更にはイルカも上昇してきて、距離はわずか３メートルほど。泣き声も聞こえ、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じでした。ご家族やカップルお友達同士、様々な方にお勧めです。※年に２回ほどは遭遇出来ないとガイドさんがおっしゃってました・・・。

I participated with my husband. I'm really glad we chose this tour among the many dolphin tours available. Since it was a small group, we quickly bonded and were able to move around easily. Our guide, Daisuke, who loves dolphins, gave us precise instructions and led us to each location. When we arrived, Daisuke took our hands and swam with us at an incredible speed alongside the dolphins. Thanks to him, we were able to swim surrounded by dolphins and even met bottlenose dolphins and manta rays. Daisuke and Captain Ken truly valued the experience of the participants, which might only happen once in a lifetime. We were able to have the experience of swimming together with the dolphins instead of chasing them. I want to participate in this tour again!

夫と2人で参加しました。数あるイルカツアーの中でもこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
少人数制なのですぐに皆打ち解け仲良くなり機敏に動けたし、イルカちゃん大好きなガイドのダイスケさんが的確な指示で各ロケーションに誘導してくれ、ロケーションに到着するとダイスケさんが私達の手を引いて凄いスピードでイルカと共に泳いでくれました。
そのお陰でイルカちゃんに囲まれて泳ぐ事もできたし、ハンドウイルカちゃんやマンタちゃんにまで会う事ができました。
ダイスケさんとキャプテンケンさんは、一生に一度しかないかもしれない参加者の体験をとても大切に考えてくださいました。
イルカちゃんを追い詰めるのではなく、一緒に海の中で泳ぐという体験ができました。
また、このツアーに参加したいですっ！

This is my second time participating, and I encountered dolphins on the way. The water clarity in the bay was excellent, and I had a fantastic time. The hamburgers cooked on the boat were also delicious.

2度目の参加ですが行く途中にイルカに遭遇しました
湾内の透明度も抜群で最高に楽しめました
船上で調理してくれるハンバーガーも美味しかったです

I participated with a total of five people from my extended family. The other four were over 60 years old (laughs), but everyone was able to enjoy snorkeling in the beautiful sea. The local staff were friendly and communicated with us in broken Japanese, which made it enjoyable for the older group as well. One of my uncles who joined us this time is planning to go back to Hawaii Island with his wife and mother-in-law at the end of the year, and he wants to join the same tour again.

親戚家族と合計5人で参加しました。私以外の4人は60歳以上だったのですが(笑)美しい海でのシュノーケリングをそれぞれが楽しむことができました。また現地のスタッフの方たちも片言の日本語ながら気さくに対応もして頂き、高年者組も楽しむことができました。
この時参加した叔父の一人は、この年末に夫婦+義母の三人で再びハワイ島に行く予定なのですが、同じツアーに参加したいと言っております。

Among the many dolphin tours available, I felt that this one had the best chance of seeing dolphins based on the reviews, so I decided to participate.

I had read about Daisuke's personality in the reviews and heard about it from other tour guides, but his love and passion for dolphins exceeded my expectations, making him a reliable presence throughout the tour.

Thanks to the captain's hard work in searching, we were able to see many dolphins, and I was truly lucky to encounter rare bottlenose dolphins and manta rays on that day! Thank you, Daisuke and the captain!!

I'm not a very good swimmer, so I couldn't see them up close, but I was still incredibly moved, to the point where I didn't want to blink. When Daisuke pulled me along at one point, I was able to see them up close, and it was super emotional. If you're not confident in your swimming, I highly recommend having him pull you along.

With Daisuke, who chases after dolphins more than anyone else and strives to see them as many times as possible, I believe this tour offers more opportunities to encounter dolphins than any other tour!

数あるイルカツアーの中で、こちらの口コミを見て一番イルカに会えそうな気がしたので参加しました。

だいすけさんの人柄は口コミを見ていたし、ほかのツアーのガイドさんから聞いていたのですが、予想を上回るイルカへの愛情と情熱でツアー中ずっと頼もしかったです。

キャプテンとともに一生懸命探してくれたおかげで、たくさんのイルカに会うことができたし、珍しいハンドウイルカやマンタにも会えてほんとうにラッキーな一日でした♪
だいすけさん、キャプテンありがとうございました！！

わたしはあまり泳ぎが上手ではないので、すご～く近くでは見れなかったのですが、それでもずっと感動しまくりで瞬きするのも惜しいくらいでした。
途中だいすけさんに引っ張ってもらった時はかなり間近でみることができて、超感動しました☆泳ぎに自信の無い方はぜひ引っ張ってもらってください。

誰よりもイルカを追いかけて、１回でも多く見ようとするだいすけさんのいるこのツアーは、ほかのどのツアーよりもたくさんイルカに出会うことができると思いますよ☆

At Sandbar, we enjoyed the ballet with the participants, and my daughter swam with sea turtles and took underwater photos. Mantas were playing, appearing and disappearing next to the boat. I would love to join this tour again.

　サンドバ-では参加者とバレ-を楽しみ、娘はウミガメと泳ぎ水中写真を撮っていました。船の横には消えたり現れたりマンタが遊んでいました。また参加してみたいツア－です。

I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.

It was incredibly exciting!
Aside from us, all the other guests were foreigners. The pilot was Japanese, so he explained everything in both Japanese and English. I think the views that you can only see from the helicopter are definitely worth the trip.

大興奮でした！
私たち以外は、外国人のお客さんでした。パイロットさんが日本人だったので、日本語と英語両方で説明してくれました。ヘリコプターに乗らないと見ることのできない景色は、行く価値ありだと思います。

It was a solo trip, and I was able to easily experience the sandbar. The staff was fun, and it ended in the morning, allowing me to make good use of my afternoon.

一人旅だったし手軽にサンドバーを体験且つスタッフも楽しく午前中で終わるので午後の時間が有効に使えた。

When the crew shouted "Look! Look!" and we looked into the sea, we saw many dolphins! ★ On the day of the tour, the weather and sea conditions were not very good, and we were told, "You might not see any..." so I was very moved when I was able to swim with the dolphins! Also, during the trip, there were talks, live performances, and hula dancing by the crew, so we had a great time on the boat as well. It was my first time participating in a tour, but if I come to Hawaii again, I would love to join again!

クルー達の「シタミテ！シタミテ！」の合図で海の中を見てみるとたくさんのイルカ達★
ツアー参加日当日は天候・海の状況があまり良くなく、「もしかしたら会えないかも…」と言われていたので、イルカ達と泳ぐことができたときはとても感動しました!!
また、移動中はクルー達によるトークやライブ、フラダンスなどあり、船の上でも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
初めてのツアー参加でしたが、次回ハワイに来ることがあれば、また参加したいと思います!!

I participated with two friends. It had been my dream to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, so I had high expectations.

On the day of the tour, our guide, Su-san, was very entertaining, and we had a great time in the car on the way there.

Once we got into the water, it took a while for the dolphins to come close, but we were thrilled to see 5 to 8 dolphins swimming right below our group! It was so exciting! Later, when we moved to swim with the fish, we had fun feeding the beautiful tropical fish. I also saw a turtle swimming very close to me (probably within 1 to 2 meters) as it returned to its underwater habitat! That was also incredibly moving! I didn't see it, but I heard there were sea lions as well.

In addition to the dolphins and turtles, the scenery of the surrounding mountains was stunning. The weather was nice, and the divine, quintessentially Hawaiian landscape was absolutely beautiful.

Although it’s not a cheap tour, given the richness of the experience in just half a day, it was worth every penny! I heard there are tours where you can swim with manta rays on the Big Island, so if I get the chance, I definitely want to go! I had such a great time!

友人と3人で参加しました。以前から、ハワイに行ったらドルフィンスイムをするのが夢だったので期待大でした。

当日は、ガイドのすーさんが非常に面白く行きの車の中から楽しかったです。

海に入ってからはなかなかそばにイルカが来てくれなかったのですが、何と、自分たちのグループの真下をスーと5～8匹のイルカが泳いで行ったのを見れました！！大興奮！！
その後移動してお魚たちと泳いだ時も、綺麗な熱帯魚？たちに餌をあげれて楽しかったです。亀も自分のすぐ近く（たぶん1～2メートル範囲）をスーと泳いで、水中のすみか？に帰って行くのを見れました！これも大感動！私は見れなかったですが、アシカもいたとか。
また、イルカや亀だけではなく周辺の山側の景色も素晴らしかったです。天気が良かったこともあり、神々しくハワイらしい景色が非常に良かったです。

決して安いツアーでは無いですが、半日でこの充実ぶりなら惜しくない！！
ハワイ島ではマンタと泳げるツアーもあるとのことでしたので機会があれば絶対行きたいです。本当に楽しかった！！

We participated as a couple (meeting in the afternoon) and were very satisfied. The tour was enjoyable with Japanese announcements that brought laughter until we arrived at the sandbar. At the sandbar, sea turtles frequently approached, so we had no shortage of photo opportunities (laughs). The meal was filling, making it perfect for spending the entire afternoon!

夫婦での参加（昼に集合）でしたが、大満足でした。
サンドバー到着まで日本語アナウンスで笑いとりつつ楽しいツアーでした。
サンドバーではウミガメが頻繁に寄ってきて写真を撮る機会には困りません（笑）
食事もお腹いっぱいで、午後一杯過ごすのはもってこいの内容でした！

I was able to see dolphins up close. The encounter rate of 99.9% was indeed true. The guide, Daisuke, was wonderful, and it was a very satisfying tour.

イルカを手の届く距離で見る事ができました。遭遇率99.9%は本当でした。ガイドのダイスケさんの対応もすばらしく、大満足のツアーでした。

It was an excellent tour. All of 7 of us came back ALIVE :-).

Kudos to the captain and his crew. Despite the choppy sea, he was able to find us a peaceful spot to do all activities. Standing at the sand bar was a very unique experience. I would do this tour all over again.

I would highly recommend participating in this activity. The water was crystal clear, there were all sorts of different types of fish and we even saw dolphins. The ship crew was fantastic and made the trip all the better! If you only do one thing while on the Big Island, do this!!!

The day I originally booked was canceled due to bad weather, so I rescheduled for two days later. Even then, the wind was strong, and I got seasick. Many people were suffering. I couldn't enjoy the beautiful cliffs as much as I had hoped. However, the snorkeling was great; the water was warm, and I had fun. There were big sea urchins. It was a shame I couldn't drink beer since we drove to the meeting point. On the way back, there’s a supermarket nearby, so that might be interesting.

当初申し込んでいた日は天候不良で中止。２日後に変更しました。
それでも風が強く、船酔いしました。
何人もの人が苦しんでいました。
せっかくの断崖はあまり楽しめませんでした。
でもシュノーケリングは、海も温かく楽しめました。
大きなうにがいました。
集合場所まで車で行っていたので、ビールが飲めず残念。
帰りは近くにスーパーもあるので、面白いかも。

I participated in an afternoon tour. The food was delicious, and I was able to relax and enjoy myself. I highly recommend it!!

午後出発のツアーに参加しました。
料理もおいしかったし、ゆったり遊ぶことができました。
おすすめです！！

I was able to swim with dolphins and see sea turtles, it was amazing. The staff's talk was also fantastic. It would have been perfect if they sold the photos as digital files.

イルカとも一緒に泳げたし、ウミガメも見れたし、最高でした。
スタッフのトークも最高でした。
写真がデータだけで売ってもらえれば、いうことなしです。

Enjoyed the turtle snorkel very much. We saw a couple of turtles. I would have rather continued snorkeling than having to stop so we could go sailing. But a great time in general! I would recommend this activity.

A once in a lifetime experience. The crew took excellent care of our entire family and helped put our nerves at easy. I only wish they had the ability to take pictures of your swim for you, sure hope ours turn out. Everyone should do it!

Unfortunately, the sky wasn't perfectly clear, but I was glad I didn't get sunburned. The Japanese staff were very cheerful and energetic, and of course, all the other foreign guests were also very pleasant. Due to the tides, there was more water than expected (I thought it would be completely dry land, but there was water up to my ankles), and I could see the underwater scenery beautifully while snorkeling, and I was able to see many turtles during the turtle watching. It was a pity that the early morning plan ended in October, but there is still plenty of time after returning to Waikiki, and I would like to take my elderly mother next time.

あいにく快晴の空ではありませんでしたが、日焼けしなくて良かったかな。
日本人スタッフの方もとても明るくて元気で、もちろん他の外国人の方々もみなさん感じが良かったです。
潮の満ち引きの関係か予想より水がありましたが（まったくの陸地になっているのかと思いましたが、足首くらいは水がありました）、シュノーケルではとても綺麗に海の中が見えましたし、タートルウォッチングもたくさんの亀を見ることができました。
もっと早い早朝プランが１０月で終了してしまったのは残念でしたが、ワイキキに戻ってからもたっぷり時間はありますし、次は高齢の母を連れて行ってあげたいと思います。

The activity was really well organised, the staff was very informative and knowledgeable, there was plenty of time for snorkelling. There was plenty of food and drink for everyone onboard.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this activity.

My favorite experience while in Hawaii. You get a boat ride, amazing scenery, great staff, its fun, and you also snorkel. They also take lots of pics for you ! Highly recommended. Dont miss out!

Since I participated from Kailua, I headed to the location without a shuttle. There is no tour desk at the site, so be careful as the meeting point is at a specific location. (I ended up going to the tour desk of another tour company.)

Since I used the second boat, we were able to use the large boat from Dolphin University, which was lucky because I got to eat a cheeseburger on the way back. The boat from Dolphin Junior High looked quite small, so that was good, but my friend got seasick and was throwing up, so it's best for those who get motion sickness to take medication before boarding. I also rented a wetsuit for $10. It serves as sunscreen and helps you float to some extent without a life jacket, so I recommend it.

We saw a lot of dolphins on the way to the point. I was excited to see baby dolphins jumping and being quite friendly. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any sea turtles at the point, but we enjoyed snorkeling there. The local staff were fishing.

It was a shame that there was no photographer accompanying us this time, so we didn't have any photos. It seems that a photographer doesn't accompany every trip, so it's a good idea to bring a disposable underwater camera for peace of mind. A friend who brought a waterproof camera seemed to have issues because they didn't have a housing for it, and it stopped working partway through. Also, the storage area under the bench isn't completely waterproof, so I think it's better to bring a beach bag that closes, like one made of vinyl.

On the way back, we saw a sea turtle taking a breath, which completed our mission. If you love dolphins, this is definitely an activity you'll enjoy.

カイルアからの参加だったので送迎なしで現地に向かいました。
現地にツアーデスクはなく、ポイント集合なので注意です。
（別のツアー会社のツアーデスクに行ってしまいました）
2便利用だったためか、戻ってきたイルカ大学の大きな船をそのまま使用できる
ことになり、帰りにチーズバーガーも食べられラッキーでした。
船もイルカ中学はかなり小さそうだったので、良かったですが
それでも友人は船酔いして吐きまくっていたので、酔う人は乗船前に
酔い止めを飲んだほうがベストです。
また、10ドルでウェットスーツも借りました。
日焼け止めにもなるし、ライフジャケットをつけなくてもある程度浮くのでオススメです。

イルカはポイントに向かう途中から沢山見られました。
赤ちゃんイルカもジャンプしたり、かなり友好的な姿に興奮しました。
ウミガメは残念ながらポイントにいっても発見できなかったのですが
そこではシュノーケルを楽しみました。
ロコのスタッフは魚を釣ってました。

今回、カメラマンが同行しなかったので写真が無くて残念でした。
毎回同行するわけではないようなので、使い捨ての水中カメラは持って行ったほうが安心です。防水カメラを持っていった友人はハウスをつけていなかったためか、途中で動かなくなってしまったようでした。
また、荷物入れはベンチの下で完全に防水なわけではないのでビニール製などの口が閉じるビーチバックを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

帰りがけに息継ぎをするウミガメも見られてミッションコンプリートとなりました。
イルカが好きなら絶対楽しめるアクティビティですね。

My family enjoyed this adventure a lot. All staffs are so friendly. Breakfast and lunch were so great. Will never forget this great experience.

Great time had by all! Thanks for the memory! We will be back in the future!

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの２０％ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度（笑）

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで８０％満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも２歳、４歳、６歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン！」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。（あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした！！）

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が！！
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて！！大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい（このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・）結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に１０ドルでも２０ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！！

I couldn't swim with the dolphins, but I did get to meet them, and I was able to swim with sea turtles! You can have a great time even if you're not confident in your swimming skills. The tour was packed with activities, including snorkeling with fish.

However, the boat was very rocky. For those who are prone to motion sickness, the level of rocking might be significant enough that taking motion sickness medication won't help. If you go to Hawaii, you should definitely go to the ocean! It's a recommended tour, but please be careful if you get motion sickness...

イルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、イルカに会えましたし、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました！
泳ぎに自信がなくても問題なく楽しめます。魚と一緒にシュノーケリングが出来たりと盛りだくさんのツアーでした。

ただし、船はとっても揺れます。乗り物に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでも意味がないレベルの揺れです。
ハワイに行ったら海に行くべき！オススメのツアーですが、乗り物に酔いやすい方は気を付けてください。。。

Unfortunately, the tour was not conducted because I was the only one who signed up that day. However, I received information that I could participate in the wild dolphin tour in the morning, so I decided to join. Besides me, there were only two people, a couple, making a total of three participants. I felt a bit nervous about being in the sea after a long time, but once we were out on the water, it felt great. There was an unexpected incident before we entered the water, but it became a good memory of the trip, and I was satisfied to see a family of wild dolphins up close.

Wild dolphins are said to come closer when humans swim joyfully. Therefore, it’s important to swim with a smile and have fun. Also, since they are wild, you must never touch them with your hands. I recommend following these guidelines and enjoying the experience. It will be healing!

　あいにくその日の申し込みが、私一人だけだと言うことで、このツアーは催行されませんでした。しかし、その日の午前中の野生のイルカツアーなら参加できるとの案内をいただき、参加することにしました。参加者は、私の他にはご夫婦ずれの２人で３人だけ。久しぶりの海にやや緊張していましたが、実際海に出るといい感じです。海に入る前に、思いも寄らないハプニングもありましたが、それはそれで旅のいい思い出として、野生のイルカファミリーを極近くで見ることができて満足でした。
　野生のイルカは、人間が楽しく泳いでいると、自分から寄ってきてくれるそうです。だから、楽しそうに笑顔で泳ぐことが大切なのだそうです。また、彼らは野生なので、決して手で触れてはいけないのだそうです。そういう約束事をしっかり守って、楽しんでみてはいかがでしょう。癒されますよ！

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon stay on the Big Island. I found this tour on the website while hoping to swim with dolphins, and I'm really glad I joined!

More than anything, I had such a wonderful experience because I was able to go out to sea with Daisuke, who truly loves dolphins, and the captain, who loves the ocean even more than Daisuke! I definitely want to go again and will absolutely recommend it to my important friends.

Even though it's a tour, we're dealing with wild dolphins in nature. It's natural that things don't always go as planned. That's why I felt so lucky to meet a captain/guide who values nature and wants participants to feel the joy of it, even just a little. I believe that choosing the right spots is key, so I highly recommend this tour experience!

Next time, I want to join during the season when we can also see whales!

新婚旅行でハワイ島滞在中に本ツアーに参加しました。
イルカと泳げたらいいなと思って本サイトに辿りつき、このツアーを見つけました。
本当このツアーに参加して本当良かったです！
なにより、イルカをこよなく愛してるダイスケさんと、ダイスケさん以上⁈に海を愛してるキャプテンと一緒に海に出れたからこそ、とっても素敵な経験ができたんだなと思っていて、また行きたいし、大事な友達にも絶対オススメします。

ツアーとはいっても、相手は自然/野生のイルカです。思い通りならないのがあたりまえです。だからこそ自然を大事にし、かつ、その中で参加者の人にちょっとでもこの自然の楽しさを感じてもらいたいと思ってくれるキャプテン/ガイドに出会えたことが本当ラッキーでした。ポントの選定はやっぱりいちばんキーになると思うので、ぜひぜひ！本ツアー体験オススメします！

もう一回今度はクジラも観れるシーズンに参加したいです！
