There were only two other Japanese people besides us, and they seemed to be from the mainland United States. The immigration inspection took some time, but I think they were waiting for our departure. Thank you very much.

日本人は私どもの他は二人だけ、ほとんど米国内地の方のようでした。入国審査に時間がかかりましたが、出発を待っていてくれたのだと思います。有難うございました。

I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.

It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.

There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.

I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.

事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。
海に行くのも何年ぶりかしら？
シュノーケリングなんて人生で何回目？
なんて状況でしたので自業自得ですが…
体力に自信の無い５０代には厳しかったです🤣

イルカは半分くらいの人は見れたみたいです。
人数が多過ぎて後の方に飛び込むと
見れる可能性は低くなると思います。
泳ぎが得意な人なら大丈夫かもしれません。
私と子どもは見れませんでした😭
主人はかろうじて見れたそうですが、
イルカと泳ぐ、ではないと言ってました。

シュノーケリングも感動する程の魚はいませんでした。
海ガメにも会えませんでした。
自然相手なので仕方ないですね。

悪い事ばかり書いてしまいましたが、
スタッフさんは本当に良い方達で
一生懸命なのが伝わりました。
それが救いでした。
ありがとうございました。

We love the experience they provide. Music is great. Staff is all good people and the activities are all fun. Definitely recommend doing it.

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。

Una valle splendida circondata da due lati da montagne a picco. Abbiamo fatto il circuito movie e sembrava di vivere all'interno di un film . Prima fra tutti i film jurassici.
Nessun problema con i biglietti, tutto ben organizzato e facilmente fruibile.

We were told by a couple at our hotel to make sure we do this tour and it was 💯 worth it! What a unique experience led by one of the native Hawaiian to see this hidden valley! Perfect for our 6 year old and adults too! It’s truly like a garden of Eden.

We had the best excursion with Ko Olina Sunset Cruise. The crew was awesome! They were so friendly to all 15 of us ranging in ages 7-72! The food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better choice while vacationing in Hawaii!

I participated about three years ago, and it was so great that I decided to join again this time. The staff were truly kind and friendly. There were also Japanese staff members who provided attentive support, so I think even those who are not used to it can participate with confidence.

This time, my family of three joined, and during snorkeling, the staff warmly watched over my slow-swimming daughter and even pointed out where the sea turtles were. Thanks to being able to see the sea turtles up close, my daughter, who is not very good at swimming, seems to have developed an interest in snorkeling.

If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to participate next time as well.

3年ほど前にも参加したのですが、とても良かったので今回も利用させていだだきました。
スタッフの方は本当に親切でフレンドリー。日本人スタッフの方もいて、きめ細かい対応をしてくれるので、慣れない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
今回も家族3人で参加しましたが、シュノーケリングの時、泳ぎの遅い娘を温かく見守っていただいたうえ、ウミガメの居場所も教えていただきました。間近でウミガメを見ることができたおかげで、あまり泳ぎの得意ではない娘も、シュノーケリングに興味を持ってくれたようです。
また行く機会後あれば、次回も参加したいと思います。

Wonderful boat & crew- with full bar & fruit. The location was pristine. The snorkelling was great- they have all the equipment. Very safe for kids. Fantastic afternoon.

From start to finish, this excursion was worth every penny! Phenomenal staff and awesome adventures!

Family friendly and safety conscious.

We flew together as a family of three. From above, the deep blue ocean was visible. I was surprisingly amazed at how blue the sea is! Seeing Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu from the ocean was refreshing and truly exhilarating. Our whole family was very satisfied! On our way out on the boat, we even encountered a sea turtle and were overwhelmed by Hawaii's natural beauty.

親子3人で一緒に飛びました。
上空から見えるのは、紺碧の海。海ってこんなに青いんだ！と年甲斐もなく驚きました。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルのまちも新鮮で、まさに爽快。家族一同、大満足でした！
ボートで沖に向かう途中、ウミガメにも会え、ハワイの自然に圧倒されました。

The staff were all cheerful and fun! Both the SUP and canoeing were enjoyable! The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish.

スタッフさんが皆明るくて面白い！supもカヌーも楽しかったです！
シュノーケルは少し寒かったけど、お魚がたくさん見られて良かったです。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

I was worried it might be hot, but it was surprisingly cool, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a lot of fun.

If you have a driver's license, I recommend driving!

暑いのではないかと心配したが、思いの外涼しく、景色も絶景でとても楽しかった。

免許をお持ちの方は運転するのがおすすめ！

I participate in the same tour almost every year! I've also gone horseback riding on Oahu, but the Big Island is definitely more enjoyable! Since it's up in the mountains, the weather is often bad, but this year it was clear and perfect. You rarely get to experience such refreshing 90 minutes. No matter how many times I participate, I always want to ride again next year. I highly recommend it to everyone!♡

同じツアーに毎年のように参加しています♪
オアフ島でも乗馬をしたことがありますが、ハワイ島の方が断然気持ちがいい！
山の上なのでお天気が悪いことが多かったですが、今年は快晴で最高でした。
こんなに清々しい90分は、なかなか味わえません。
何度参加しても、また来年も乗りたいなぁと思います。
みなさんも是非♡

I was surprised to see that they arrived by large bus, but they confirmed the airline in Japanese and we boarded. At the airport, they guide you and drop you off according to each airline, so there were no particular issues, which was great.

まさか大型バスで来るとは思わなかったのでびっくりしましたが、日本語で航空会社の確認をしてくれて乗りました。
空港では航空会社毎に案内して降ろしてくれますので、特に問題もなく、良かったです。

They arrived on time to pick me up, and I was able to move to the airport comfortably. There wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the car. It was convenient since the tip was included.

時間通り迎えに来てくれて快適に空港へ移動できました。車内は特筆するところは特にありません。チップ込みなので楽でした。

It was a transfer from the airport to the hotel, and although they take you in the order of check-in, you have to wait quite a bit. It's best to come out quickly and check in without lingering inside. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the vehicle, but it's convenient since the tip is included.

空港からホテルの便でしたが、受付順で乗せてくれるがかなり待たされるので中でぐずぐずしないでサクッと出て来て受付するのが良いです。
車内は特筆することはありませんが、チップ込みなので楽です。

I had to retire midway, but there were no regrets afterward. It was lonely. The staff were kind, there were various attractions, and the scenery was beautiful.

途中でリタイヤしたけれど　あとのホローはなし　寂しいな
スタッフの方々は　親切で　いろんなアトラクションが有り　景色もよかったよ

We participated with five people: our family of four and my grandfather. After completing the check-in, we had a slight delay in departure because the previous group returned late.

We had a reservation for 4:30 PM. Since we were the only family there, the wait time was minimal, and we finished without any time to feel seasick.

For parasailing, we split into groups of two and three, and everything went smoothly. We also requested photos for $40, and they took various shots for us.

My daughter, grandfather, and I went together, and 150 meters was higher than we expected, offering a breathtaking view. My 78-year-old grandfather was very moved, saying it would be a great memory.

After disembarking, the staff kindly transferred the photo data to my smartphone. I highly recommend this experience if you visit Hawaii.

　家族4人とおじいちゃんと、計5人で参加しました。受付を済ませて、始まりは前のグループが戻ってくるのが遅かったので、少し送れての出発でした。
　16時半からの予約。私たちの家族しかいなかったので、待ち時間が少なく、船酔いする暇もなく終わりました。
　パラセーリングは二人と三人で分かれて、段取り良く進みました。40ドルで写真もお願いしていたので、いろんなショットを撮って頂きました。
　娘とおじいちゃんと三人でしましたが、150mは思った以上に高く、絶景の眺めでした。78歳のおじいちゃんは、冥土の土産になるわーと、とても感動していました。
　下船して受付の方が写真のデータをわざわざ私のスマホに入れてくれました。
ハワイに来たら是非お薦めです。

I heard that a Black pilot has also been to Japan and visited some niche tourist spots there. I sincerely apologize if this is perceived as racial discrimination, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Black person speaking Japanese honorifics so smoothly. The piloting was also careful, and I felt safe during the flight. If you are visiting Kauai, I highly recommend this tour.

黒人のパイロットさんで日本に来たこともあるそうで、日本でも玄人好みの観光地にいらっしゃったらそうです。
人種差別と捉えられたら誠に申し訳ないのですが、黒人の方が日本の丁寧語をスムーズに話していらっしゃることに良い意味で驚きました。
操縦も丁寧で安心して乗っていることができました。
カウアイ島にいらっしゃる際は、このツアーはおおすすめです。

We are very thankful to Dan for showing us this extraordinary bay! We saw every species of fish. Dan took underwater pictures and shared the link with us. The best guided snorkeling trip so far!

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely visit here. There are many types of attractions, and they change little by little, so you won't get bored. I highly recommend the attractions on Oahu!

ハワイに行けば必ずここに行きます。アトラクション種類も多く、少しづつ変わっているので退屈はしません、オワフ島でのアトラクション一番おすすめ！

The dance and singing performances were amazing! The band was cohesive and skilled. I really enjoyed the women's hula dance and singing as well.

ダンスや歌そのパフォーマンスは最高でした!
バンドもまとまっていて上手です。女性達のフラダンスや歌も大変楽しめました。

You will drive a Kawasaki four-wheeler for about two hours at Kualoa Ranch. Although it's in English, the guide will carefully teach you how to operate it.

カワサキ製の四輪バギーで2時間ほどクアロアランチを走行します。英語ではありますがガイドの方が運転方法につき丁寧に教えてくれます。

Transportation and vessel operation were good. Food service and food need improvement. Service was very slow. Food was not served even remotely hot. Our steaks were so rare as to be inedible. A different dessert should be offered as the the one being served has very little taste. The food was a real disappointment.

The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the activities comfortably. It was nice to fully appreciate the magnificent nature of the ranch. However, the buggy I rode seemed to be poorly maintained, as the brakes were not very effective, and I almost collided with the buggy in front of me several times. It was particularly dangerous on downhill slopes, where I needed to maintain a significant distance to be safe.

天気にも恵まれて気持ちよくアクティビティを体験できた。牧場の雄大な自然を十分に満喫できるのがよかった。
ただ、乗ったバギーの整備が不十分なのか、ブレーキが効きにくい状態で、何度も前のバギーに追突しそうになった。特に下り坂では、十分に車間距離を取ってなければ危なかった。

This was my first time going dolphin watching, and I had a lot of anxiety, but the dolphins came closer than I expected, and the crew shared various stories about Hawaii, which made for a fun time. During snorkeling, the crew was very accommodating to our pace and preferences, which I greatly appreciated. If I have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, I would like to consider participating in other tours offered by Dolphin University. Thank you very much.

今回初めてのイルカウォッチングで不安も大きかったですが、思っていたよりも近くにイルカたちが来てくれたり、ハワイのことについてクルーの方たちが色々とお話ししてくださったりしたおかげで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングでも常にクルーの方がこちらのペースや希望に合わせてくださり大変ありがたかったです。次回ハワイに来る機会があればイルカ大学の他のツアーの参加も考えたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time seeing dolphins up close like this. It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins with the Dolphin University boat, and I was able to be with them for a long time.

With the support of Minako, I was able to snorkel safely. I gradually got used to it and was able to move around on my own. Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, and I was able to experience everything.

My husband was a bit flustered during his first snorkeling experience and couldn't see the fish or the sea turtle, but he received constant support, so he wants to try again.

The slide afterward was intense and fun, but you have to be careful when sliding, or you'll end up swallowing seawater. I felt a bit seasick a few times when the boat moved quickly, but they kindly checked on me.

If I go snorkeling again, I think I'll choose Dolphin University.

こんなに間近でイルカを見ることができたのは初めてでした。イルカ大学の船と一緒に泳いでくれているようで、ずっとイルカと一緒にいられました。
シュノーケリングはMINAKOさんのサポートのもとで、安心して泳ぐことができました。少しずつ慣れていき、自分でも移動ができるようになりました。運良くウミガメを見ることもできて、全ての体験をすることができました。
夫は初めてのシュノーケリングで慌ててしまい魚もウミガメも見ることができませんでしたが、ずっとサポートしてくださったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。
その後の滑り台も激しくて面白かったですが、滑る時に注意しないと海水を飲みます。
何度か船が速く移動する時の揺れで船酔いをしましたが、優しく声をかけてくださいました。
またシュノーケリングをやるならイルカ大学にしようと思います。

I have been to the Big Island of Hawaii three times and experienced the great nature of Hawaii, which is completely different from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu on Oahu. This time, I stayed on Maui for the first time and participated in a tour exploring the island's natural beauty, and once again, I fully enjoyed the grandeur of Hawaii's nature. While the overall atmosphere is similar to the Big Island, I could feel the unique vibe of Maui.

Although it is still not very familiar to Japanese people, this adds to its untouched feeling, and I became good friends with my fellow tour participants during lunch and other activities. Additionally, the driver and guide for the day spoke in clear English, making it easy to understand the history and points of interest on Maui.

ハワイ島にもこれまで3度ほど行ってオアフ島のホノルルの喧騒とは全く違うハワイの大自然を経験しているが、今回、初めてマウイ島でステイして、島の大自然を巡るツアーに参加したが、改めて、ハワイの自然の雄大さを満喫した。ハワイ島とは全体の雰囲気が似ているが、マウイ独特の雰囲気が感じられた。
まだまだ日本人には馴染みが少ないが、その分、手垢のついていない感じがあり、ツアーの同乗者ともランチ等ですっかり仲良くなった。また当日のドライバー兼ガイドのおじさんが分かりやすい英語で話してくれたので、マウイ島の歴史やスポットの説明が良く理解できた。
