イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Wonderful!!! 素晴らしい！！！

Reviewed by: クーコ

I participated in the tour on February 11. I've been to Oahu countless times, but it was my first time in the West Coast area. I was first impressed by the clarity of the water. I wore a rash guard, but I thought it might be a bit cold. However, after borrowing a wetsuit, I found it really warm and comfortable. You should definitely wear one.

We encountered whales right after departing. Moreover, it was a mother and her calf. I was incredibly lucky to see the mother whale teaching her calf how to swim! And they were right next to the boat, spouting water multiple times. I was amazed by their size.

After seeing enough whales, we set off again to search for dolphins. We quickly encountered a pod of dolphins. I often see dolphins in captivity, but it was my first time swimming with so many wild dolphins! It seemed there were several groups, and dolphins kept coming one after another. There was even a group with a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute.

After that, we went to a spot with fish and sea turtles. There were lots of fish, and I saw two sea turtles. They say swimming with sea turtles brings happiness, and I felt like I received a lot of happiness.

Our guide, Yuriko, also made the tour even more enjoyable with her bright personality. Thank you very much. I will participate again.

2月11日のツアーに参加させていただきました。
オアフは数え切れないほど行っていますが、西海岸エリアは初めて。海の透明度にまず感動。
ラッシュガードは着ていったものの、やっぱり少し寒いかなと思っていましたが、ウェットスーツを借りてきたら、ほんとにあったかくて快適。これは絶対着たほうがいいです。
出港してすぐにクジラに遭遇。しかも親子連れ。なんとおかあさんクジラが子クジラに泳ぎを教えているところ。こんなのが見れるなんてものすごくラッキー！
しかも、ボートの真横。何度も潮を吹いて。その大きさに感動。
充分、クジラを見たあと、イルカを探して再び出発。
イルカの群れにもすぐに遭遇。
飼育されているイルカはしょっちゅう見ていましたが、野生のイルカをあんなにたくさん、しかも一緒に海の中で泳いだなんてもちろん初めて！
いくつかのグループがいたらしく、次から次へとイルカがやってきます。子イルカを連れたグループもいて、すごくかわいかった。
そのあと、お魚＆ウミガメスポットへ。お魚いっぱい。2頭のウミガメがいました。ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐと幸せになれるとか。たくさんのしあわせをもらった気がします。
ガイドのユリコさんの明るさもツアーを一層楽しいものにしてくれました。ありがとうございました。また参加します。

Memories of Hawaii ハワイの思い出

Reviewed by: aya

We participated as a family, including our 5-year-old child. Since it was an early morning activity, the temperature was quite low and it was really cold. Everything was a first experience after getting on the boat; we saw whales in the distance, and the experience of swimming close to a pod of dolphins is something I will never forget. My 5-year-old daughter, who was afraid of the ocean, was taken care of kindly by the staff member Yuriko, who swam with her the whole time. Even after returning home, we keep talking about the ocean that day with Yuriko. It seems to have become her best memory in Hawaii. I'm really glad we chose this tour among the various dolphin tours available. I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you very much.

５歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。
早朝からのアクティビティだったので、気温もだいぶ低くとにかく寒かったです。
ボートに乗ってからは全てが初体験で、鯨も遠くに見えたし、何頭ものイルカの群れを間近で泳いだ体験は一生忘れられません。
海を怖がっていた5歳の娘も、スタッフのユリコさんがずっと一緒に泳いで優しく面倒を見ていてくれて、帰ってからもずっとユリコさんとあの日の海の話をしています。
ハワイでの一番の思い出になったようでした。
色々あるイルカツアーの中でここを選んで本当に良かったです。
次回も是非参加させて頂きます。
ありがとうございました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I was able to meet a sea turtle! ウミガメに会えました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I applied after seeing the reviews here. I really wanted to swim with the sea turtles.

I was told that you can't always see them, but I encountered two sea turtles. One of them came up close, looking curious, and swam with me! I was so thrilled.

On the way back to the shore, there was a spot where the waves were strong, and it took more than 10 minutes to return. I definitely think beginners need a guide.

こちらの評判を拝見して申込をしました。
どうしてもウミガメと一緒に泳ぎたくて。

いつも会えるわけではないですよーと言われましたが、2匹のウミガメに遭遇しました。
しかも一匹は興味深そうにすぐそばまで上がってきて一緒に泳いでくれたんです！
大感激でした。

岸への帰り道、途中波が強く戻るのに10分以上かかった場所があり、やはり初心者にはガイドさんは必要だと思いました。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

Manta rays come super close! マンタが超接近！

Reviewed by: シュノ−ケラ−

About 15 minutes by boat, two staff members held lights and illuminated from below, attracting a manta ray that approached us. Before the tour, we were warned not to touch the manta rays, but even though I didn't reach out, the manta came close and spun around, brushing against my body. Eventually, four manta rays gathered, and it was truly moving. I felt like I was able to see them up close more than when diving.

At first, I was watching from the surface, but when I got the signal that it was okay to dive, I was able to see them from below as well. Other travelers from Spain and Australia participated, and everyone was shouting "Wow! Wow!" continuously. I would love to visit the Big Island again just to participate in this tour.

船で15分ほどの所でまずスタッフが二人ライトを持って潜り下から上へライトで照らすとマンタが1匹寄って来ました.ツア−前に絶対マンタには触らないことと注意を受けましたが自分では触らないのにマンタの方から接近して来て体すれすれで回転するので体が触れるのです.
そのうち4匹集まって来て感動です.ダイビングをするよりも近くでマンタを見れたと思います.
最初は水面から見ていたのですが、潜ってもいいと合図があったので潜って下からも見上げる形でも見る事ができました.私以外にスペイン、オ−ストラリアからの旅行者が参加していました.全員ウォ−！ウォ−！の連続でした.
このツア−に参加するだけにもう1度ハワイ島を訪れたいぐらいです.

Live dolphins! 生イルカ！

Reviewed by: YOKO

On January 7th, I participated with my 68-year-old mother. When I reconfirmed, I hesitantly mentioned that I could swim, and the organizer, Yuriko, cheerfully agreed, saying, "How wonderful!" On the day of the event, she was high-energy from the morning, quickly remembering and calling out each participant's name, creating a lively atmosphere.

The west side of the island, Waianae, which is not often visited by other tours, has jagged mountains rising behind it. From the yacht harbor, we set out to sea on a speedy inflatable boat, a Zodiac, and the blue sea was clear enough to see down below! Fortunately, we spotted our first pod of dolphins about 30 minutes after departure and immediately jumped into the water! However, while the dolphins were visible from the boat, I couldn't catch up to them in the water, and I wasn't able to swim with them on my first try. Others who were swimming with me also returned to the boat for a retry after the pod swam away.

On the next attempt, we successfully chased the pod of dolphins from above! The playful spinner dolphins, true to their name, jumped and spun, swimming with their bellies up in the water, truly enjoying their freedom. At one point, I noticed a white spray from the dolphins in front of us... could it be... dolphin poop? Well, I guess it was a good omen for the new year (laughs).

After two dives at the dolphin point, we moved to the turtle point. Here, if you are confident in your swimming, you can remove your life jacket and swim while chasing the turtles. They are so close that you might be tempted to reach out and touch them. The turtles swim gracefully, flapping their fins that resemble angel wings. They are really cute! We also had two dives at the turtle point. Just when I thought I saw four turtles, I felt something prickly touching my hands and feet. I wondered if it was a jellyfish, but it turned out to be sea lice. I got a couple of small bumps on my hand that felt like mosquito bites, but they disappeared quickly. I heard that washing with vinegar helps.

Due to that, I gave up on the second dive midway, but the captain, KK, who is the top local lifeguard, took us to a surf point that locals usually keep to themselves, where we could watch the skills of advanced local surfers. We also got to see stand-up paddleboarding, which has recently become popular in Hawaii. Finally, we returned to the harbor while watching the dolphins from the boat.

1月7日に、68歳の母との参加でした。リコンファームの際、水泳はできますが…と恐る恐るそれを伝えてみると主催者のユリコさんは「まあステキ！」と快諾してくださり、当日は朝からハイテンションで寝ぼけ眼をこすりこすりの参加者ひとりひとりの名前をすぐ覚えて声をかけてくれ、盛り上げてくれます。

なかなか他のツアーでは行くことのできない島の西部、ワイアナエは後ろにギザギザの山が切り立ち、ヨットハーバーからスピードの出る軽いゴムボート、ゾディアックで海へ出ると下まで見通せる青い海！
我々は幸いにも出て30分くらいで最初のイルカの群れを発見でき、すぐ海へＧＯ！
しかし船の上からはゆっくり見えたイルカたちも海の中では追いつくことができず、最初のトライでは私は一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでした。一緒に泳いでいた人たちも、イルカの群れが離れてしまったということで一度船へ戻り再挑戦。
次のトライではずっとイルカの群れを上から追いかけることに成功！遊び好きなスピナードルフィンたちは、その名の通りジャンプにスピンに、水中ではお腹を上にして泳いだり、本当に自由を謳歌しています。
途中、前方のイルカから白い噴射物…　これはもしやフン…？などということもありましたがまあ新年早々ウンがついたということで（笑）

イルカポイントで２度のダイブの後は、ウミガメポイントへ移動。こちらでは泳ぎに自信があればライフジャケットを外せて、ずーっと亀先生を追いかけて泳ぎます。あんまり近いので思わず手を伸ばしそうになります。ウミガメは天使の羽そっくりのひれをパター、パターと動かして飛ぶように泳ぎます。ホントにかわいい！
ウミガメポイントでも２度のダイブ。今度は亀が４匹も！と思ったら時折チクチクと手足を差すものが。クラゲ？と思ったらシーライス（海シラミ）だそうです。私は手に２箇所ほどちょっと蚊に食われたくらいのふくらみができてすぐに消えましたが、お酢で洗うといいそうです。

そんなことで２度目のダイブは途中で断念しましたが船のキャプテンＫＫが地元のライフサーバーの一番偉い人！だそうで、その後はロコ以外は近づけないようなサーフポイントへ行ってくれて、地元の上級サーファーの妙技を見物。最近ハワイではやっているというスタンダップ・パドルも見学できました。
さらにはまたイルカたちを船上から見ながら帰港。

Rough Wave Special 荒波スペシャル

Reviewed by: はしもと

The day we participated was incredibly windy with high waves! The Dolphin Middle School uses a speedboat, so we easily navigated through the rough waters. Among the many dolphin exploration boats out that day, ours was the first to spot dolphins!! It seems that experience really matters when searching for dolphins!

Before other boats arrived, we had the dolphins all to ourselves! I was moved by the sight of so many dolphins swimming and jumping right in front of us. I was so engrossed that I swam alongside the dolphins. Although it was said that "the visibility of the sea is low after the rain," we could still see the seabed. It's hard to imagine that in Japan. I wonder how beautiful the sea is when it's clear? We also saw several sea turtles.

That day, due to the strong waves, the staff suggested playing in the sea inside the breakwater, and we wrapped up our time in the ocean early to visit nearby spiritual points and a local supermarket. The staff came up with various ideas, and it turned out to be a wonderful tour for our family, who were looking to do a spiritual tour and visit supermarkets.

Thanks to the cheerful and fun staff, including Yuriko and Maeda, we were able to enjoy our first trip to Hawaii. I definitely recommend this for those who are not confident in their English!!

参加した日は、ものすごく風の強い日で波も高い日！
イルカ中学校さんはスピードボートなので荒波を難なく超えていきます。
イルカ探索船が数多く出ている中で、この日はわたしたちのボートが一番先にイルカを発見！！イルカ探しは経験がものをいうそうです！
他のボートがやってくる前に、わたしたちの船だけでイルカを独占！

目の前でたくさんのイルカが泳いだり跳ねたりしている様子に感動！夢中になってイルカと一緒に泳ぎました。
「雨上がりで海の透明度は低い」という話でしたが、海底は見えるんですよ。日本では考えられないですよね。海がきれいなときは、どんなにきれいなんだろう？ウミガメも何匹も見ましたよ。

この日は波が強くて、防波堤の内側での海遊びを提案していただいたり、海を早めに切り上げて近くのスピリチュアルなポイントを巡ったり、地元のスーパーを見せてくれたりと、スタッフの皆さんが一生懸命色々なアイディアを提案していただきました。スピリチュアルツアーとスーパー巡りをしようとしていた我が家にはとってもうれしいツアーになりました。

日本人スタッフのYurikoさん、Maedaさんをはじめ、スタッフ全員が明るく楽しく、始めてのハワイを楽しむことができました。英語に自信のない方にも断然おすすめです！！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

From 2 years old to 67 years old. 2歳から６７歳まで

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family of seven, ranging from 2 to 67 years old, on New Year's Eve. It was very lucky that it was sunny only while we were walking on the sandbar.

Before boarding the boat, we were treated to famous donuts, and even though the BBQ time was a bit delayed, it was fine.

I was worried that my husband and my father, both 67 years old, might find it boring, but they borrowed wetsuits and got into the ocean. In the end, they only entered the sea on this tour in Hawaii, so I’m glad they participated.

The fathers didn’t do much in particular, but they enjoyed watching their 2-year-old grandchild swim with the floaties we brought while walking from the boat to the sandbar, which was waist-deep. They also enjoyed taking commemorative photos in the sea. The pictures turned out great.

The BBQ was delicious. We were all moved to see sea turtles. Since we were wearing wetsuits, we didn’t mind the cold.

大晦日に2歳から６７歳まで家族７人で参加しました。サンドバーで散歩する時だけ、晴れてとてもラッキーでした。

船に乗る前に有名な？ドーナツをふるまっていただいてBBQの時間が、少し遅くても、大丈夫でした。

67歳の私と主人の父達、２人にはつまらないかな、、と心配していましたがウエットスーツを借りて、海に入水。結局、２人はハワイで、このツアーでしか海に入らなかったので参加してよかったです。

父たちは特に何をするわけではなかったですが、
船からサンドバーまで、腰までの深さのところを歩くので持参した浮き輪で泳ぐ２歳の孫を見たり、
海で、記念撮影できた、という事が楽しかったようです。いい顔で撮れてます。

BBQも美味しかったです。
海亀も会えて家族全員感動しました。
ウエットを着ていたので寒さは気になりませんでした。

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: haru

It was an English tour, so I was a bit nervous, but it was really fun. Of course, everyone else was a foreigner except for the three of us. There were times when we couldn't communicate at all in Japanese, but maybe because I said, "I'm not good at English!" at the beginning, the people around us seemed to be considerate. Unlike a tour with only Japanese people, it was full of excitement!! I really enjoyed it. My grandparents, who have weak hearts, opted out and were switched to a tour on a large cruise ship. The speed of the boat was incredible, and my speed-loving daughter seemed very satisfied. Next time, I will study a bit more English before participating.

英語のツアーだったので、ドキドキでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
もちろん私たち３人以外はすべて外国人。全く日本語が通じず、困った事もありましたが、「英語が得意じゃありません！」と最初に言ったせいか、周りの人たちも気を使ってくれていたようです。
日本人だけのツアーとちがって迫力満点！！本当に楽しかったです。
心臓の弱いおじいちゃんおばあちゃんは、辞退して大きな客船のツアーに換えてもらっていました。
ボートのスピードが半端じゃなくて、スピード狂の娘は大満足だったようです。
こんどは、もう少し英語を勉強して参加します。

It was me, my sister, and four children (ranging from elementary school to preschool) participating. Since the little ones were scared of the ocean, I planned to take turns snorkeling with my sister, but the Japanese staff member was incredibly kind. She took the kids on a surfboard with a viewing window (?), bringing them to various points where we could see different fish and turtles. The child who was scared of the ocean was overjoyed. At the turtle viewing point, they exclaimed, "I saw six of them!" and spotted more turtles than I did!

I have participated in snorkeling tours in other countries before, but I could never enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace with kids. This time, thanks to the staff member taking care of the children, I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling at my own pace!

The turtles gracefully swimming in the vast ocean were wonderful, and I will definitely participate again next time I go to Maui. I highly recommend this tour for families with children!

私・姉・子供（小学生から幼稚園児の4名）の参加でした。
小さな子どもは海を怖がるので、姉と交代でシュノーケルを楽しもうと思っていたのですが、スタッフの日本人のお姉さんがとっても親切で、子供をサーフボードとのぞき窓付きのウェイクボード（？）に乗せて、いろんな魚やカメのいるポイントに連れて行ってくれました。
海を怖がっていた子供も大喜びでした。
カメの見えるポイントでは、「6匹も見た~」と親の私よりも多くカメを観ていました！

今までも、他の国でシュノーケルのツアーに参加していますが、子連れではゆっくりとシュノーケルをする事はできませんでした。
今回は、お姉さんが子供の面倒をみてくださったおかげでゆっくりとシュノーケルを堪能させていただけました！！！！

広い海を優雅に泳ぐカメもすてきだったし、次回、またマウイに行く時は絶対に参加します。

New Year's Dolphin Festival! 元旦イルカはじめ！

Reviewed by: KAORU

This time, I participated in a trip to Hawaii with my husband, his mother, his sister, and myself, making a group of four.

I was surprised by the welcoming whales as soon as the boat set sail. Shortly after, we encountered dolphins. We quietly approached them and were able to enter the water together to swim alongside them. During the first encounter, we couldn't get close, but during the second, I was able to see a dolphin swimming just below me. Then, we went snorkeling at Turtle Point. The turtles came very close to us, and we also enjoyed the tropical fish. Just when I thought we would head back to the harbor, the boat continued on to search for whales, and we were able to see them again near the far western tip of Oahu.

In contrast to the heavy rain in the morning, the boat was warm and sunny, and we leisurely enjoyed a ride that felt like being on a banana boat.

Although my husband and I were used to the ocean from diving, it was the first time for his sister and our 70-year-old mother to snorkel in deep water. With the guidance of the staff, they were able to see the dolphins up close and were very excited. We are truly grateful for their kindness. Our whole family was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

今回のハワイ旅行は夫とその母と妹と私の4人で参加しました。

船が出るとすぐの鯨のお出迎えにはびっくり。ほどなくイルカとも遭遇。そっと近寄って皆で海に入り一緒に泳ぐことができました。1回目は近くに寄れませんでしたが、2回目は自分のすぐ下を泳ぐイルカを見ることができました。そして、亀ポイントでのシュノーケリング。亀はすごく近くまで寄ってきてくれて、南方の海水魚も堪能しました。そして、そのまま港に帰るのかと思ったら、そのあとも、鯨を探してオアフ島のかなり西の先端のほうまで船を走らせてもう一度鯨を見ることができました。
朝方の大雨とは代わり、船上は暖かく日が差し、バナナボートのような船上ドライブをまったりと楽しみました。

私たち夫婦はダイビングなどで海に慣れていたものの、シュノーケルも足が着かない所ははじめてという妹と70歳の母もスタッフの方にガイドされて近くでイルカを見ることができ、大感激していました。本当に親切にしていただき感謝しております。家族皆安心して楽しむことができました。

Dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and whales. イルカ＆カメ＆熱帯魚＆クジラ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in August 2008 and had such a great time that I joined again at the end of December. December coincides with Hawaii's rainy season, and the weather was a bit uncertain. About ten days prior, there was heavy rain, and I was worried as the ocean turned brown, but by the end of the year, things had calmed down quite a bit.

On the day I had booked, the waves were high, so the tour itself was postponed. I had the option to cancel or reschedule, and I chose a different date to participate.

On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived on time, and we headed to the boat harbor to board the boat and set off. The weather was nice, and my spirits were high.

I thought it might be cold during this time, but it wasn't much different from when I participated in the summer; in fact, the water felt warmer. However, the water clarity was somewhat affected by the bad weather, and it was much clearer during the summer.

As for the dolphins I was hoping to see, I was able to swim with numerous dolphins multiple times, and I also observed turtles swimming gracefully. At the point with tropical fish, I got to play with a large number of them. This is where the advantage of participating in winter comes in: after swimming with the tropical fish, we headed out to the whale point by boat, and I was lucky enough to see a whale jump. It was truly a satisfying tour.

08年8月に参加し楽しかったので12月の年末にまた参加しました。12月はハワイの雨季にあたり天候が微妙な感じでした。特に10日前ぐらいは大雨が続き海が茶色に汚れるなど心配でしたが、年末の時期には大分落ち着いてきました。
　申込をしていた日は波が高いということでツアー自体が延期になりましたが、キャンセルするか別の日に振り返るかということで別の日程にしてもらい参加しました。
　ツアー当日は向かえのバスが時刻とおりに来て、ボートハーバーまで向かいボートに乗り込みいざ出発です。天候もよく気分上々でした。
　この時期は寒いかと思いましたが、夏に参加した時とそれほど違いはなく、逆に海の中の方が暖かいぐらいです。しかし、海の透明度は悪天候が続いたせいで濁りが多少あり夏の時の方が抜群でした。
　期待していたイルカちゃんですが、多数のイルカと何度も泳ぐことができ、カメも優雅に泳いでいるところを観察できました。熱帯魚のいるポイントでは大量の熱帯魚に戯れることができました。ここからが冬の参加のメリットですが、熱帯魚と泳いだ後にクジラポイントまでボートで出かけ、運よくクジラジャンプを見ることができ本当に満足いくツアーでした。

Wow...what an experience.

The the captain along with the crew were fabulous. The day started off with a continental breakfast which was great. For lunch we were served the choice of chicken breasts, hamburgers or hot dogs along with both adult and children beverages.

Instructions provided for snorkeling were great. As a first timer they provided enough information about what to expect for the first time. They were right on the dime about what you would experience. By the end of snorkeling I was comfortable enough to go without the flotation device.

We are so looking forward to the next time and will definitely try snuba. Mahalo....

Where are the dolphins? イルカはいずこ

Reviewed by: himawari

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated with my daughter, nephew, and two relatives, making a total of five of us. The information that December might be cold was accurate, but they offered wetsuit rentals. Once we boarded the boat, it only took about five minutes to encounter a pod of dolphins, which made us all very happy. After that, due to the murky water, we didn't go into the sea but instead toured around the island on the boat. It felt like the boat was flying over the water, and it was fun like a roller coaster. We all returned with joy. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. The staff were also very kind and helpful, which made me happy. Thank you!

　初めてのハワイ、娘と甥、親戚の親子と、5人で参加しました。12月は寒いかも？という情報はあたってましたが、ウエットスーツの貸し出しもあり、いざボートに乗り込み、5分もするとイルカの群れに、会うことができ大喜び。そのあと、海のにごりのため、海に入らずにボートで島の周りを観光、ボートは海の上を飛ぶように、ジットコースターのようで楽しかった。皆で喜んで帰りました。又、機会があれば参加したいです。スタッフの、皆さんも色々親切にしてもらえて、うれしかった。ありがとね。

While moving to the next point, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Many dolphins swam alongside the boat, and I felt like I was being welcomed by them. I tried to dive into the sea to look for dolphins, but the water was murky, and I could only see them for a few seconds, which was disappointing.

After that, we went to see sea turtles. I dove into the water again to search for them, but it was still murky, and I could only see them faintly. However, I definitely saw at least four turtles. It was amazing to see so much in one tour!

Although the visibility was poor this time due to the murky water, I heard that usually the sea is clearer and visibility is better, so I definitely want to try again next time.

今回初めてイルカ中学校に参加しました
当日は天候が曇りで海もにごっていたのであまり良い
コンディションではありませんでしたが、１２月なので
なんと！クジラが何度も見れました。
クジラが潮を吹いているところや尾びれが見えました
初めてクジラを生で見たので感動です
次のポイントに移動している最中にイルカの群れに
遭遇、沢山のイルカがボートと一緒の泳いでいて
まるでイルカに歓迎されている気分でした
そこで海にもぐりイルカを探しましたが海がにごっていて
数秒しかイルカが見れず残念でした
そのあとにウミガメを見にいきました、そこでも海にもぐってウミガメを探すのですが、そこでも海がにごっていて
うっすらとしか見えませんでしたが確実に4匹はいました
一度のツアーでコレだけ見れて最高です！

今回は海がにごっていたのであまり良く見えませんでしたが
普段はもっと海が澄んでいて良く見えるそうなので
また次回リベンジしたいと思いました

Dolphin! Dolphin! イルカ！イルカ！

Reviewed by: ビッキーパパ

On a slightly cloudy morning, I was filled with anticipation as I watched a rainbow appear. We headed straight to the dolphin-rich waters by powerboat from the harbor. The deep blue sea and the clear blue waters revealed numerous pods of dolphins. At the cheerful captain's signal, we entered the water with the crew, and although the dolphins were within reach, I couldn't quite catch up to them. I saw a mother and her baby swimming closely together and jumping around; they were incredibly "cute" dolphins.

After that, we stopped the boat at a beautiful coral reef and entered the water where sea turtles were swimming. I was surprised at how fast the turtles swam, almost like they were flying!

This was my first time participating alone, but the cheerful Hawaiian captain and his brother made it a lot of fun. The snacks provided were also delicious. The cooler bag was very useful during my stay.

Next time, I want to go back to meet the dolphins and turtles swimming in the clear blue sea, which you can't see in Waikiki.

うす曇りの朝虹がかかっているのを観て期待でいっぱいになってきました。
港からパワーボートでイルカのいる海域へ一直線。藍色の海、そして透明な青の海、そこにはたくさんのイルカの群れが見えました。陽気な船長の合図でクルーと一緒に海に入ると手の届くところにイルカたちがいて一緒に泳ぎたくても、なかなか追いつくことができません。母子が寄り添って泳いでいたりジャンプをしたり、すごく”カワイイ”イルカたち。
その後、サンゴ礁がきれいな所にボートを止めてウミガメのいる海の中へ。飛ぶように泳ぐウミガメ。思ったより早く泳いでいるのにはビックリ！！
今回初めて一人で参加しましたが船長兄弟が陽気なハワイアンで、十分楽しめました。
そらから軽食もおいしかったですよ。クーラーバックも滞在中重宝しました。
次回もワイキキでは見られない、透明な青い海の中を泳ぐイルカとカメに逢いにいきたいと思います。

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins! 野生のイルカに感激★

Reviewed by: yumeco

I have lived in Hawaii for three years. Until now, I had only seen dolphins from a great distance and really wanted to see them up close. I participated in a tour that had amazing reviews online.

The staff were incredibly kind, and I was impressed by the beautiful scenery in the Makaha area, which I wouldn't normally visit. The bus ride was also enjoyable. Unlike dolphins that are managed by humans, seeing wild dolphins swimming freely was moving, and I felt like I was part of nature while enjoying the experience.

On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to see a Hawaiian monk seal, which was fantastic! I also got to see wild sea turtles up close, and the staff guided us to the best spots, so there was no wasted time.

The life jackets were sturdy, so I think it's safe even for those who can't swim. I had no worries about what I would do if I couldn't swim. While swimming, I could hear the dolphins' calls, which was very soothing. Since the tour ends in the morning, I think it's an efficient option for those who want to fully enjoy Hawaii during a short stay. The snacks provided during the tour were also plentiful and added to the experience.

If you're in Hawaii, I highly recommend this dolphin tour, not just shopping!

I had a truly fun time and reaffirmed the charm of Hawaii. Thank you!!!!

ハワイに住んで３年。今までイルカを本当に遠くからしか見たことがなく、どうしても見てみたいなぁと思っていたところに、書き込みでもものすごく評判の良かったことツアーに参加させていただきました。

スタッフの方もすごく親切だったし、なかなか自分では行かないマカハ方面の美しい景色に感激しながら、バスの道中も楽しかったです。
人間に管理されているイルカとは違い、野生のイルカののびのび泳いでる様子に感動しながら、自分も一緒に楽しませてもらってる感覚は自分も自然の一部なんだと思いました。

私の参加した日はラッキーなことにハワイアンモンクシールも見られ、最高でした！！
野生の海亀もものすごく近くまで見れて、ちゃんとポイントを押さえてスタッフの方が誘導してくださるので無駄がありませんでした。

ライフジャケットもしっかりしてるので、泳げない人にも安心だと思います。泳げなかったらどうしようと不安になる心配もいっさいありません。泳いでいる途中はイルカの鳴き声も聞けてとっても癒されました。
午前中で終わってくれるツアーなので、短い滞在の間にハワイを存分に楽しみたい方にとっては、効率の良いツアーだと思いました。
ツアー中にいただいたスナック等もすごく充実していてポイントが高かったです。

ハワイにいるなら買い物だけでなく、このイルカのツアーは絶対にお勧めです！

本当に楽しかったです。
新しいハワイの魅力を再確認しました。
ありがとうございました！！！！

I think I'm going to get hooked on snorkeling. シュノーケリングにはまりそう

Reviewed by: まさじぃ

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I chose this tour with a guide, and it was definitely the right decision. Our guide, Alan, was great at speaking Japanese and taught us how to snorkel in a very thorough manner, which made me feel at ease. We encountered a sea turtle right after getting into the water and were thrilled to swim alongside it for a while. In the end, we saw two turtles! I really appreciated having a guide who took us to places we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own and to points with lots of fish. It truly became the best memory of my time in Hawaii. I highly recommend it for first-timers!

シュノーケリング初めてなのでガイドさん付きのこのツアーにしましたが大正解。
ガイドの「アランさん」は日本語も上手で、シュノーケリングのやり方も丁寧に教えてくれたので安心でした。
海に出てすぐに海亀に遭遇、しばらく一緒に泳げて感激。結局２匹も見れました。
自分たちだけでは行けないような所まで行けたり、たくさん魚がいるポイントに連れて行ってくれたりと、ガイドさん付きにして本当に良かったと思います。
ハワイでの最高の思い出になりました。
初めての方にはおすすめですよ。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I wanted to see turtles. 亀を見たかった

Reviewed by: 金太郎

In July 2008, I participated with my wife. Our companions were an American couple. The instructor was a Japanese named Kiko. Since there were many participants, we were asked to help out. We met up with others at the entrance of the Education Theater (where we watched a 7-minute video on environmental protection and ocean safety before heading to the beach). After that, we took a tram to the beach.

At the beach, a complete set of snorkeling gear, including marine boots, was prepared in each person's size, and our belongings were stored in a large locked container. It was truly attentive service.

The seawater temperature varied significantly by location, and many areas felt quite cold. Due to the tides, we didn't see many fish, and the visibility was not great. The visibility in the shallows was decent, but it became murky (with fine bubbles) as we went further out. Since it was the day after our arrival in Hawaii, the timing in the afternoon was fine for our stamina, but considering the tide conditions that day, I thought the visibility might have been better in the morning.

We didn't see any turtles, and the disappointment added to our fatigue. We retired a bit early and returned to the beach feeling exhausted. After getting back to the beach, I received a bottle of mineral water and was offered cookies, but I had little energy to eat. I searched for something that looked hydrating and managed to eat just one.

By the time I took a shower, I felt somewhat revived. Around this time, my satisfied wife returned. It was a day that made me acutely aware of my lack of exercise.

2008/07に妻と二人で参加しました。
連れはアメリカ人二人（夫婦）。
インストラクターは日本人のｋｉｋｏさんでした。
参加人員が多いので応援を頼まれたとのことでした。
エドケーションシアター（ビーチに出る前に環境保護と海の安全に関する７分間のビデオを観る）の入り口で他の人たちと合流。
その後、トラムに乗って浜まで移動。
浜には、マリンブーツ込みでシュノーケルのセットが各人のサイズで一式用意してあり、手荷物は、カギの掛かる大きなコンテナに保管してくれました。
まさに至れり尽くせり。

海水温は、場所によりかなりのむらが有り。冷たいと感じる場所が多かった。
汐の関係か、魚はびっくりするほどは見られないし、透明度も今ひとつ。浅瀬の透明度はまずまずでしたが沖に出ると濁り（細かな気泡）が気になりました。
ハワイ到着の翌日のため、体力的には午後でよかったのだが、この日の潮回りから言ったら透明度はやはり午前中がよかったのかなと思う。
亀も見られず、期待が大きかっただけに疲労も増大。
少し早めにリタイアしグテグテ状態で浜にあがった。
浜にあがってミネラルウォータをもらい、クッキーを進められたがほとんど食べる元気なし。水分の多そうなのを捜してひとつだけ食べた。
シャワーを浴びた頃には、幾分元気が復活。このころに満足しきった妻が戻ってきた。
日頃の運動不足を痛感した一日でした。

Heaven's Sea 天国の海

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated last December. The weather seemed typical for the Kaneohe Bay area, with a mix of cloudy and sunny conditions. When it was sunny, it was really beautiful, but it felt cold when it was cloudy! That was my impression. I was satisfied with walking on the sandbar and taking commemorative photos. Next time I participate, I think I'll bring a thick sweatshirt.

昨年度１２月に参加しました。
天気は曇ったり晴れたりとカネオヘ湾あたりの天気としては普通なようでした。晴れるとすごく綺麗なのですが、曇ると寒い！というのが印象です。
　サンドバーを散歩して記念撮影もでき満足でした。
今度参加するときは、厚手のトレーナーを持参して参加しようと思います。

Dolphins and sea turtles イルカと海ガメ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated this summer vacation. When we went out to the point by boat, dolphins jumped! We were able to spot the dolphins right away. After that, we followed the guide's instructions and jumped into the sea. Right below us, a mother dolphin and her baby were gracefully swimming. We repeated this several times, and then we headed to the sea turtle point. There were many sea turtles. The sea was so beautiful that we could see all the way to the bottom, which was a bit scary. On the way back, we received a lunch bag, so I think we ate it on the bus and arrived at the hotel before 1:00 PM.

今年の夏休みに参加しました。
ボートで沖へ出てポイントにつくと、イルカジャンプ！すぐにイルカを発見できました。あとは、ガイドさんの指示に従って海へドボン。真下にはイルカ親子が優雅に散歩していました。何度かこれを繰り返し、今度は海ガメポイントへ。
海ガメが沢山いました。あまりにも綺麗な海で海底まで見えてしまうので、ちょっとこわいくらいです。
帰りはランチバックをもらえるので、バスの中で食べてホテルに１３：００前には到着したかと思います。

It was fun!! 楽しかった～！！

Reviewed by: ミクロ

On the day of the trip, the sea was rough and it was really shaking, but it felt like a roller coaster and was a lot of fun. Those who are prone to seasickness seemed to struggle a bit... After a while, we spotted dolphins. There were about 10 to 20 of them!! They were all lively, riding the waves and spinning around, which was so much fun. Unfortunately, due to the rough sea, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we went snorkeling in the bay and encountered a sea turtle☆ I had a very, very happy experience. Our guide, Yuriko, was kind, and I am very grateful for the fun time we had on our honeymoon. Mahalo~~☆

当日は海が荒れていて、すごい揺れていましたが、それがジェットコースターみたいでとても楽しかったです。
船酔いしやすい人はしんどそうでしたが・・・。
暫くするとイルカ達を発見。大体１０頭~２０頭はいました！！
みんな元気に波に乗って、スピンをたくさんしてくれて、とても楽しかったです。
当日は残念ながら海が荒れていたため、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、湾内でシュノーケルをして、ウミガメさんと遭遇しました☆
とてもとてもＨａｐｐｙな経験ができました。
ガイドのユリコさんも優しくて、楽しい時間をハネムーンで経験できたこと、とても感謝しています。
マハロ~~☆

It’s moving. 感動です

Reviewed by: 黄色のビートル

I had previously seen dolphins in Hawaii while diving from a boat (on the surface). This was my first time participating in a dolphin-exclusive option, and I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices underwater. The staff were also kind, and I felt that I could participate comfortably and enjoyably even as a solo participant. Thank you very much for your support.

ハワイでのイルカは以前にダイビングで船上（水面）から見た事がありました。
イルカ限定のオプショナルは今回が初めての参加でしたが、水中ではイルカの声を聞く事もでき感動しました。
スタッフの方も親切でひとり参加でも安心して楽しく参加できると思いました。本当にお世話になりました。
