You can easily make reservations from your iPhone! Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an email. I went from the Sheraton, and the bus stop was easy to find. Your name will be called in English, and you will receive a wristband (for the dolphin experience). The scenery from the bus is also breathtaking. When you arrive at the park, there are two Japanese staff members who are very kind and provide thorough explanations! I chose the most affordable course to interact with the dolphins, and I even fed them. It was a truly precious experience, and I would like to swim with the dolphins next time. The park is compact, but there are turtles, penguins, sea lions, and birds, and you can also feed the fish and birds! It was very easy to make a reservation, and I was able to enjoy everything smoothly! Thank you!

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Great hosts, great time!

Reviewed by: David L

We had an awesome time! I had done a similar activity tour before, but I enjoyed doing it even more with this crew. They actually called us beforehand and warned us that the mantas had been inconsistent in the previous few days, and wanted to know if we wanted to do a different tour or go on a later date. We were leaving the next day, so we couldn't do either, but we really appreciated them being upfront. It turned out not to matter, though, because we saw several mantas! They were incredible to watch, and we got some amazing views of them feeding. Our hosts also gave us a sunset tour of the coast before the mantas came out, which was super beautiful. Highly recommended!

Reply from activity provider

Mahalo for taking the time to write a review of your manta tour with Kona Ocean Experience. We're so glad you had the opportunity to take advantage of our manta guarantee after your 1st trip out with us, and that you enjoyed your beautiful coastal tour and got to watch several "incredible" mantas on your 2nd trip! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again sometime. Aloha!

Encounter with dolphins and turtles イルカとカメとの遭遇

Reviewed by: T&C

I had never seen dolphins in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in this tour. We set off early in the morning, heading to the west coast of Oahu, a place I had never been before. The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful.

During the three snorkeling sessions, we tried to find a pod of dolphins in the first and second sessions, and we encountered dolphins in the first session. I was moved to see a pod of dolphins with a baby. In the second session, my husband and I missed the chance to see dolphins because we were late to jump into the water from the boat.

The third session was a visit to a sea turtle habitat. Because we knew the right spots, we quickly encountered three sea turtles. I had seen turtles before in Hanauma Bay and on sandbar tours, but I had never met such large turtles as these. It was fun to swim while being rocked by the waves.

Due to certain circumstances, there was no lunch on the boat, but since the boat was quite rocky, it was a good decision to eat after returning to the port. I think it's better for those who are worried about seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.

Although it was a short time, it was a fun tour where we also challenged ourselves to stand-up paddleboarding on the sea. Additionally, having a Japanese guide accompany us from the shuttle bus to the sea provided a sense of security. If I have the opportunity, I would like to enroll in the manta ray university on the Big Island.

ハワイでイルカを見た事が無かったので参加しました。
早朝から出発し、向かったのは今まで行ったことが無かったオワフ島の西海岸。
天気は曇りでしたが、海は綺麗でした。

計3回のシュノーケリングのうち1回目と2回目はイルカの群れを探してトライしますが、1回目でイルカに遭遇。
赤ちゃん連れのイルカの群れを見れて感動しました。
2回目は船から海に飛び込む順番が遅かったので、私たち夫婦はイルカを見る事が出来ませんでした。

3回目はウミガメの家を見学です。
ポイントを把握されてるせいで直ぐに3匹のウミガメに遭遇。
今までハナウマ湾やサンドバー・ツアーでカメを見た事はありましたが、ここほど大きなカメに出会った事はありませんでした。
一緒に波に揺られながら泳げて楽しかったです。

諸事情で船上ランチはありませんでしたが、船の揺れが多かったので、港に戻ってから食べて正解でした。
船酔いが心配な方は酔い止め薬を持参した方が良いと思います。

短い時間でしたが、海上でのSUPにもチャレンジしたり楽しいツアーでした。
また、日本人のガイドさんが送迎バスから海まで同行してるので安心感もありました。
機会があれば、ハワイ島のマンタ大学にも入学してみたいと思います。

Great crew, got us to the spot off the airport, lots of other boats there, lights on and after a while Manta Rays showed up. The cool part was when a 10-12 foot wide one did 3 manta rolls right in our faces. It was too much to hope for but it happened.

Sea turtles are the best! ウミガメサイコー

Reviewed by: ザック

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour. There were four sea turtles swimming, and I was able to see them up close when they surfaced for air. However, it was disappointing to see someone of Asian descent touching the sea turtles at that time. After that, we cruised for about an hour before returning.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。ウミガメが4匹泳いでおり、息継ぎで浮上した際には間近で見る事が出来ました。ただ、その時にアジア系の人がウミガメに触れており、残念でした。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。

I swam with dolphins! イルカと泳げた!

Reviewed by: tak

After boarding, we quickly found dolphins and were able to swim with them. The dolphins swam around us several times without fear of humans, which was amazing. I was very satisfied to capture videos with an underwater camera.

After enjoying the dolphins, we went to another spot for snorkeling. The water there was murky, and we couldn't see many fish. There were a few fish around the coral, but they were few in number.

In addition to snorkeling, we could also play with inflatables, paddles, and kayaks, but for us, who were mainly focused on the dolphins, these were unnecessary. In fact, I wished we could have spent more time with the dolphins we found.

In conclusion, I thought that since Dolphin University is so active, perhaps activities other than dolphins are unnecessary. However, I was satisfied as we achieved our goal!

乗船後、イルカを探してすぐに見つかり、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカも人間を恐れて逃げるということ無く、私たちの周りを何度も泳いでました。水中カメラで動画も撮れてとても満足です。
イルカを堪能した後に別のポイントへ行きシュノーケルをしました。そちらは海水が濁っておりあまり魚もよく見えませんでした。珊瑚の周りにいくらか魚がいましたが少数でした。
シュノーケル以外にも、浮き輪やパドル、カヤックなどでも遊べましたが、イルカがメインの私たちには不要でした。むしろ、せっかく見つけたイルカともっと一緒にいられる時間が欲しかったです。
結論として、イルカ大学というアクティブなので、イルカ以外は不要なのでは?と思いましたが、目的は果たせたので満足です!

The manta rays' rolling was incredibly powerful! 大迫力だったマンタたちのローリング!

Reviewed by: りらっつま

It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the port to Manta Point while enjoying the sunset. We lowered LED surfboards around the point to attract plankton and the manta rays that feed on them... and they appeared! After confirming their presence, we entered the water and snorkeled around the surfboards to observe the mantas. They also lent us noodles (floating poles), and we spent about 45 minutes in the water. It was an exhilarating experience to see two mantas rolling right in front of us! On the way back to the port after snorkeling, it can be chilly with just a swimsuit due to the wind. It was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, even though there was an additional fee.

港からマンタポイントまで30分ほど、夕陽を見ながら船で移動します。
ポイント周辺でLED付きのサーフボードをおろして、プランクトンと、これを食むマンタを呼ぶことしばし...。現れてくれました!
姿を確認してから海へ入り、サーフボードの周りでシュノーケリングしながらマンタ見学。ヌードル(浮きポール)も貸していただいて、45分くらい海に入っていました。
2 枚のマンタがローリングを繰り返すのを目の前で見ることができ、大興奮の体験でした!
シュノーケル後に港に戻るときは風も受けるので水着だけでは寒いと思います。追加料金が必要ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした。

Reviewed by: Aki

The early morning pickup at 6 AM was a bit tough, but thanks to our guide J's fun stories, I didn't fall asleep in the car, and we arrived at the port in no time.

Since it was the end of September, I was worried about the water temperature, but I was able to rent a wetsuit for $10. The instructions on how to use the snorkeling gear were thorough and easy to understand.

This was my third time on a dolphin swimming tour in Hawaii. Right after we set sail, we encountered about 200 dolphins, and it was over in a flash. The staff also swam with us, which made me feel safe. They also loudly informed us of the direction the dolphin pod was coming from, so we didn't miss anything. Since there were no other boats around, I guess the captain's years of experience helped him find this spot. It seemed that the afternoon tours that day and the next day didn't encounter any dolphins, so we were very lucky.

The snorkeling spot afterward was a place where there were turtles, and I saw more fish than I expected. The staff took a lot of pictures and made an effort to show us marine life, which made it enjoyable. This time, we quickly encountered the dolphins, so we had quite a bit of snorkeling time. It would have been even better if we could have seen more dolphins or had a longer sailing time on the catamaran.

On this dolphin tour, we learned not only about dolphins but also about hula and Hawaiian prayers, making it a very enriching experience.

早朝6時にピックアップで少し辛かったですが、ガイドのJちゃんの楽しいお話で車内で寝てしまう事もなく、あっと言う間に港に着きました。

9月末だったので水温が低いか心配でしたが、$10でウエットスーツを貸し出してもらえました。シュノーケルや等の道具の使い方も丁寧に説明があって分かり易かったです。

ハワイでのイルカと泳ぐツアーは今回が3回目。
今回は出航してすぐに200頭ぐらいのイルカ達会え、あっという間でした。
スタッフさん達も一緒に泳いでくれるので安心です。又、イルカの群れが来ている方向も大きな声で教えてくれるので見逃す事も無かったです。
他のボートが周りにいなかったので、船長さんの長年の経験でこのスポットが分かったのでしょうか。
この日の午後便や次の日の便はイルカ達に会えなかった様で、私達はとても幸運だった様です。
その後のシュノーケルスポットは亀もいる場所で思ったよりも魚が見れました。スタッフの人が沢山写真を撮ってくれたり、海の生き物を見せてくれたり楽しめる様に工夫してくれていました。今回はイルカ達に直ぐに会えたのでシュノーケル時間がかなりありました。もう少しイルカを見たりカタマランでのセーリング時間が長かったらもっと良かったです。

今回のイルカ中学ツアーではイルカの事だけでなくフラやハワイ語でのお祈りなど色々と学べ盛り沢山でした。

In the early morning, we headed to the port for pickup. The staff talked continuously on the bus, providing various announcements along the way.

At the port, we took care of our restroom needs, but there were few toilets, resulting in a long line for women. However, there are restrooms on the boat, so no worries there.

As soon as we boarded, we sang something like a Hawaiian song and offered plumeria to the sea. We were able to see quite a few dolphins close to the port, and we could even hear their voices, which was very satisfying.

I was also pleased to see many large turtles.

After coming back from the sea, snacks were provided, but it seemed a bit different from what was described. On the way back, many people were tired and sleeping, but we were woken up for a dance that was labeled as hula... it was just regular dancing, not hula at all. I was also surprised that due to a stove malfunction, a chain restaurant's burgers were served. I was like, "Huh? This?"

While I was very satisfied with the many encounters with turtles and dolphins, the rest was a bit lacking, so I rated it as average.

I was satisfied to encounter many dolphins and honu (sea turtles). イルカもホヌも沢山出会えて満足です。

Reviewed by: いのろここ

This was my fifth time on Oahu. I had previously avoided the typical Japanese-oriented optional tours because I dislike being forced to do things (laughs). However, I wanted to see dolphins in their natural habitat, so I decided to sign up.

The pickup was early in the morning, around 5 AM. I thought there were surprisingly few pickup locations, but I believe adding more stops would only waste time.

I was greeted by energetic staff and we headed to West Oahu, taking about an hour to reach the port of Nanakuli, which is the hometown of former sumo wrestler Konishiki. During the bus ride, the staff kept the energy up with lively conversation, and they also explained some important points along the way.

Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and headed to the dolphin viewing point, which was surprisingly close to the port. Before we got there, we chanted the Hawaiian song "E HO MAI" while offering plumeria flowers to the sea. The lyrics were provided, so it was no problem.

After that, we entered the water at the dolphin point, and it wasn't long before the dolphins appeared. The staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins swimming beneath us, jumping nearby, and communicating with their squeaks. We were able to see them multiple times!

After the dolphins, we moved to Makaha to observe the honu (sea turtles). That day, we were lucky enough to see seven large honu! After getting back on the boat, we headed home, and finally, snacks and drinks were provided. It’s better to eat breakfast before going, as the drinks offered were just bottled water and small juices, so if you need to stay hydrated, you might want to bring your own.

There was supposed to be hula as mentioned in the itinerary, but it was just a regular dance (laughs). I felt a bit surprised to be woken up for that while many people were tired and sleeping.

Normally, they serve burgers grilled on the boat, but due to a grill malfunction, we were given burgers from a well-known chain on the bus ride back. Honestly, I was a bit taken aback (laughs).

I was very satisfied with the number of dolphins and honu we saw, but I still dislike tours that force everyone to enjoy together, and even though there were unavoidable reasons for the food situation, it felt a bit lacking, so I rated it four stars. There were no issues with communication, as Japanese was spoken fluently.

Additionally, we received an eco bag for participating. It was quite useful in Hawaii, where you have to buy shopping bags, but I thought it was inconvenient that you have to go to the Dolphin University office in Waikiki to pick it up after the tour.

5回目のオアフ島。
今まで避けていたガッチリ日本人向けのオプショナルツアー。

到着後船に乗り込みポイントまで行きますが、案外港から近いです。

歌詞は配られるので大丈夫です。

その後、イルカのポイントで海に入り、そんなにしないうちにイルカが登場。
スタッフの方も珍しいという程の沢山のイルカが私たちが浮いている下を泳いだり、近くで跳ねたり、ピーピーと会話をしています。

イルカの後はマカハ沖に移動してホヌ観察。
大型のホヌがその日は7頭も!これもラッキーだったみたいです。
船から上がったら帰路へ。その間にやっとバーとスナックとジュースが提供されますので、朝ごはんは食べて行くのがベターです。
ちなみに提供されるドリンクはペットボトルのお水と小さなジュースだけなので、水分を沢山取られる方が持参が必要かも。
途中、旅程表で書かれていたフラがありましたが・・・

疲れて寝ている人が多い中で起こされてこれ?という感じを受けました。

通常は船上で焼いたバーガーが提供されるようですが今回はコンロの故障のため、帰りのバスの中で某有名チェーンバーガーが提供されました。

イルカとホヌは沢山観れたので大変満足ですが、
日本人向けのみんなで楽しみましょう!を強制するツアーがやはり苦手なのと
食の部分がやむ負えない理由があったにせよちょっと貧弱だったので違和感を感じ、星4つにしました。
日本語がバリバリ使えるので困ることはありません。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

I took the promotional photos at face value. 宣伝写真を真に受けてしまった

Reviewed by: たろう

I love sharks, so I have swum with them domestically, but the sharks in this plan were not as large as in the promotional photos. I was disappointed.

However, another team that saw the sharks up close was very impressed and seemed to be generous with tips.

Also, the sea surface was very choppy for snorkeling, making it quite easy to get seasick. Since the boat can also cause seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to avoid a double whammy.

サメが好きなので国内でもサメと泳ぐ等していたのですが、
今回のプランのサメは宣伝写真程大きくありません。期待外れでした。

ですが、初めてサメを間近で見た別の参加チームは非常に感動しており、チップも弾んでいたようです。

また、シュノーケルのため海面が非常に揺れ、大変酔いやすいです。
船も酔う可能性があるので、Wパンチにならないよう、酔い止めの服用をおすすめします。

It was the best day ever! (╹◡╹) 最高な1日でした(╹◡╹)

Swimming with dolphins has always been a dream of ours, and we participated as a couple! Even on the bus heading to the ocean, our guide Minako shared fun stories, which helped us shake off the early morning sleepiness and get excited for the dolphin tour (^ ^).

Once we arrived at the ocean, it was time to board the boat! There was a restroom break after getting off the bus, so we could board the boat with peace of mind.

The crew on the boat was all local, truly Hawaiian ♡ They were cheerful and fun people ♩.

We received a briefing on snorkeling equipment and set sail while searching for dolphins!

When we spotted a pod of dolphins, everyone jumped into the water! During our first entry, we got to meet the dolphins!

To ensure everyone could see the dolphins up close, during the second entry, those who hadn’t seen them swam near the guide, and everyone was able to see the dolphins safely!

The boat ride to the site was smooth in the early morning with no waves, but on the way back, the waves picked up, and we got soaked, haha.

Also, the boat rocked quite a bit, and several people felt nauseous.

Motion sickness medication is a must.

The water is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you can compare to in Waikiki, and it’s truly healing. The guides were all wonderful people, making this the best tour where we could genuinely enjoy ourselves.

イルカと泳ぐことがずっと夢だった夫婦2人で参加しました!
海に向かうバスの中もガイドのミナコさんが楽しいお話をしてくれて、早朝で眠かったけど、テンションあげてイルカツアーに望めました(^ ^)


海について、いよいよ乗船!
バスを降りてからトイレ休憩もあるので、安心して船に乗れました!

船のクルーは、地元の方ばかりで、まさにハワイアン♡陽気で楽しい方ばかりでした♩


船でシュノーケル道具の説明を受け、
イルカを探しながら航海!



イルカの群れを見つけたら、みんなで海へ!
1回目の入水で、イルカに会えました!


全員がイルカを近くで見れるように
2回目の入水の時、見れなかった人は
ガイドの近くで泳ぎ、無事全員イルカを見ることができました!



行きの船は、早朝で波もないためあまり酔いませんが、帰りは、波も高くなり、びしょびしょになります笑


また、船も大きく揺れるため、何人も気持ち悪くなってました。


酔い止めは必須です。



ワイキキの海とは比べ物にならないくらい綺麗で、癒されます。
ガイドの方もみんなが良い方々で、純粋に楽しめる最高のツアーです。

Seven years ago, I wanted to participate in the Dolphin University, but I gave up on joining the tour because I thought there was no guarantee of seeing them in the wild. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and signed up this time.

Saki-chan, Nana-chan, and all the staff worked very hard to ensure that everyone could encounter dolphins. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, I was able to see both dolphins and turtles. The dolphins were adorable, and I had a long time with the turtles, which was very healing.

The staff's constant energy also lifted my spirits and made it fun. Thank you so much. It became a wonderful memory.

7年前にイルカ大学に参加したいと思ったけど、相手は自然なので見れる保証が無いと思いツアー参加は諦めていました。
しかし、この度思い切って申し込みして良かったです。
参加した全員がイルカと遭遇出来る様に、さきちゃん、ななちゃん、スタッフの皆様はとても一生懸命でした。ありがとうございました。
お陰様でイルカも亀も見れました。
イルカも可愛かったし、亀との時間は長くとれてとても癒されました。
スタッフの皆様がずっと元気なのが、こちらもテンションがあがって楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。
記念になりました。

Swimming with dolphins was the purpose of this trip. We participated in the tour despite feeling a bit sleepy from the early morning departure, but on the way, we had a great time listening to Julie, the staff member, who enthusiastically shared many stories about Hawaii and dolphins, making the ride to the port fly by.

Once on board, everyone enjoyed chatting together as the captain, Papa, led the ship out to sea. I was worried about whether we would see dolphins since a storm was approaching, but when we arrived at the dolphin spot, we encountered over 20 dolphins, which really boosted our excitement. After swimming to see the dolphins twice, we moved a bit and saw many small fish. After snorkeling, we enjoyed pork rice balls and snacks on the boat. The pork rice balls after snorkeling were incredibly delicious!

After that, we returned while dancing the hula. From start to finish, it was a very enjoyable and happy time. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

イルカと泳ぐのが今回の旅行の目的でした。
朝早くの出発で少し眠さもありながらツアーに参加しましたが、道中にスタッフのジュリーさんからテンション高めにハワイやイルカについてのお話を沢山聞けて、すごく楽しく港まであっという間でした。
乗船後もみんなで楽しく会話しながら、船長のパパさんを筆頭に船は出航★
嵐が近づいてきていたのでイルカに会えるか心配していましたが、いざイルカ達のポイントに着くと20頭以上のイルカ達に出会えてテンションが上がりました。2回イルカ達を見るために泳いだ後は、少し移動して小さい魚をたくさん見ました。シュノーケル後は、船上でポークおにぎりやおかしを食べました。シュノーケル後のポークおにぎりはすごく美味しかったです!笑
その後はフラダンスを踊りながらの帰航。初めから最後まで、全てがとても楽しい幸せな時間でした。次にハワイに来る時も、また是非参加したいと思います。

I participated in a dolphin school for the first time on my honeymoon. I thought 5:35 AM might be too early, but surprisingly, it wasn't difficult to wake up. The guide was very energetic, and I had a great time. I learned about the ecology of spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, orcas, and sharks, as well as the differences between mammals and fish, which made me appreciate dolphins even more.

Originally, we were supposed to see turtles as well, but it turned out that the day we participated was the peak day for big waves, so there were a lot of waves, and we couldn't find any dolphins in the first two hours. However, when I dipped my feet in the water from the boat, the splashes felt great, and the scenery was beautiful with clear, transparent water.

In the end, we were able to watch bottlenose dolphins, and I also snorkeled with spinner dolphins and saw many of them three times. Just make sure to bring water! You'll get very thirsty, and we only received juice. The dolphin school is a very positive and high-energy activity. I highly recommend participating!

初めて新婚旅行でイルカ中学に参加しました。
5:35だと朝早いかなと思いましたが、案外起きるのは億劫ではなかったです。
案内してくれる方もハイテンションな方でとっても楽しめました。ハシナガイルカやバンドウイルカ、シャチ、サメなどの生態と哺乳類や魚類の違いも知れて、イルカを知ることの楽しさも知ることができました。
本来は亀も観れる予定でしたが、参加したのは次の日がビッグウェーブのピークの日らしくとても波が沢山あり、最初の2時間は全然イルカが見つかりませんでした。ですが、船から足を出せば水しぶきが体に当たりとても気持ちよく、景色も綺麗で海もとても透明で綺麗でした。
最終的にはバンドウイルカもウォッチングできましたし、ハシナガイルカもシュノーケリングして3回も沢山見れました。
ただ、お水は絶対もってくださいね!
喉がとっても乾きますし、ジュースしかもらえませんでした。
イルカ中学はとても前向きにハイテンションで楽しめるアクティビティです。
是非ご参加下さい!!

It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

Thank you, Kana-chan, our guide! ❣️ ガイドのカナちゃんありがとう❣️

Reviewed by: nakai

The weather was perfect! It was a calm day with no wind! Our guide Kana provided detailed advice from the start, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The sea was filled with many fish, and Kana guided us, showing us where to go and even informed us about the current. We kept diving until we got cold. The transfer to Turtle Point was also enjoyable as we chatted with Kana. Just when I thought we might not see any sea turtles due to the unusual current, we encountered a turtle resting quietly on the rocks. After that, we were able to swim with the turtles, making it an absolutely amazing day. I had a great time. Thank you!

天気は最高!風なく穏やかな1日でした!ガイドのカナさんがスタートから細やかにアドバイスしてくれ、安心して楽しめました。
海もたくさんの魚カナちゃんがこっちがいいよと案内してくれ潮の流れも教えてくれ、身体が冷えるまでひたすら潜りました
タートルポイントまでの移動もカナちゃんと楽しいおしゃべりしながら。
潮の流れがいつもと違うとのことで、海亀は断念かなと思ったところで、岩場で静かに休んでいる海亀にあえました。
その後も海亀と泳ぐこともでき、とにかく最高な1日になりました
たのしかったです。ありがとうございました
