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＞

I want to thank all the miracles. 😊 全ての奇跡に感謝したいです(^^)

Reviewed by: まっつん

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to swim with dolphins, so we searched online and decided to use the private Dolphin Academy. Honestly, since it's a tour involving nature, I was prepared for the possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we quickly found many dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly moving! After that, dolphins came close to the boat again for a second dive, and I was so happy to see turtles as well.

Although it’s an early morning tour, the guide, the driver, and all the boat staff were really entertaining, making it a lot of fun! Don’t think about sleeping on the bus in the morning! (^^)

I believe there is a possibility of not seeing dolphins, but the staff really puts in their best effort for the participants. If you tend to get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication, and if you're participating in April, a wetsuit is essential.

I am grateful for the miracle of seeing dolphins and turtles, and for being able to join such wonderful tour participants.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きました。
旦那がイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい！とのことでネットで色々探し、こちらの私立イルカ中学さんを利用させていただくことに。正直、自然相手のツアーなのでイルカに会えなくても仕方ないものと割り切って参加しましたが、ツアーではすぐにたくさんのイルカを見つけ一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。本当に感動でした！その後も再びイルカが船の近くに来てくれ２回目のダイブ♡亀にも会えて嬉しすぎです。
朝早い時間からのツアーですが、ガイドさんはもちろん運転手さんも船のスタッフさんも皆さん面白い方ばかりで本当に楽しめます！朝バスの中で寝ようなんて思わないで下さい(^^)笑
イルカに会えない可能性もあるとは思いますが、スタッフ皆さんが全力でツアー参加者のために頑張ってくれますよ。
酔う方は酔い止め、4月参加の場合はウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
今回イルカや亀に会えた奇跡、素敵なツアー参加者と一緒になれた奇跡に感謝します。

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＞

There were a lot of them‼ わんさかいました‼

Reviewed by: ヽ( ’ω’)/

Three of us participated! ♫ There were about 12 other people from overseas joining as well. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but the boat was rocking quite a bit while we were stopped at the point where the sharks were. Some people ended up vomiting before they even saw the sharks, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even if you don't usually get seasick.

Once we dove in from the enclosure, we encountered a lot of sharks! ♫ It's not often you get to see them up close, so it really gets your adrenaline pumping! The sharks' faces were clearly visible and they looked quite cute. (laughs)

Our turn was last, but we were in the same group as a dandy gentleman from the Middle East who had been vomiting since the beginning. Even while he was in the enclosure with the sharks, he couldn't stop vomiting, but everyone was laughing and having a good time about it. (laughs) Thanks to him, the sharks might have gathered around! (laughs)

The waves were strong even inside the enclosure, and I was clinging to the bars the whole time, but it’s definitely an activity worth trying! Just like with any activity, even Japanese people who can't speak English can become very friendly with participants from other countries. ♫ I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

女3人で参加しました♫
他に12名ほどの海外の人が参加されてましたが
私達は事前に酔いどめ薬を飲んでいましたが
船でサメのいるポイントに停まっている間はかなり船が揺れていました。
何人かの人はサメとご対面前に嘔吐されてましたが

いざ柵の中から潜ってみるとたくさんのサメと出会えます♫
なかなか身近で見れることがないのでテンション上がりますこれ‼
そしてサメの顔もハッキリ見えてかわいらしく見えちゃいます。笑
私達の順番は最後でしたが最初から嘔吐していた中東系ダンディなおじ様と同じグループでサメとご対面中の柵の中でも嘔吐が止まらずみんなそれはそれでいい意味でとても陽気に笑っていました。笑
おかげでサメが集まってくれるかも。笑
柵の中でも波が強くて柵にしがみつきっぱなしでしたがやってみる価値アリのアクティビティです‼
どのアクティビティもそうですが英語が話せない日本人でも他の国の参加者の方ととても仲良くなれます♫

Dolphin Encounter Tour イルカに会えるツアー

Reviewed by: そぎちゃんと営業マン夫婦

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the tour, I was a bit groggy from waking up early, but Juli, our guide, was there to lead us!

Despite it being early in the morning, she was so talkative! I worried if I could keep up, but as I listened to Juli, I gradually got to know her personality. Her love for dolphins and her desire to have a fun tour drew us in as well.

On the day, we miraculously encountered a ton of dolphins, and we even saw three turtles! It made us feel so happy.

We both work and have tiring days, but this tour made us think that we should try to enjoy everything.

When we reminisced about our honeymoon and reflected on what was fun, we both said...

"The dolphin tour!"

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

A manta ray is right there!! すぐそこにマンタが！！

Reviewed by: もみの木

We were picked up at the hotel on time and headed to the port.

On our boat, there were six Japanese people and four Westerners. I thought we would go quite far out, but we mostly traveled parallel to the land.

As the sun set, we entered the water. There was a rope attached to a long, buoy-like object to hold onto, and once everyone was holding on, they placed long poles made of a soft material similar to a kickboard under our thighs and ankles. This allowed us to keep our legs afloat even when we got tired.

For the first few minutes, we just floated quietly, but then they finally appeared! Everyone let out joyful screams while wearing their snorkeling gear. With their mouths wide open, they gulped down seawater and plankton, arching their backs and spinning around. We could clearly see the patterns on their bellies. Each pattern is unique, and they register each individual. They send videos or images somewhere, and if they find out it's an unregistered individual, they let you name it. I had been filming the whole time, so I want to send a clear shot of the pattern.

We were shown manta rays to our heart's content and then returned to the boat. We returned our snorkels and wetsuits and enjoyed warm cocoa and two types of snacks. From there, we sped back to the port. The strong wind was really cold against our wet bodies, so please make sure to bring a windproof jacket.

I'm really glad I participated. I highly recommend it!

定刻通りにホテルまでお迎えがあり、港へ。

私たちのボートには、日本人６人と欧米人？４人。結構沖に出るのかと思いきや、ほとんど陸と平行に走って行きました。

日がくれて、海中へ。細長い浮きのような物に掴まる為のロープが付いていて、皆が掴まったところで腿の下や足首の下にビート板の素材を柔らかくしたような長いポールを入れてもらいました。これで、疲れてきても脚を浮かせていられます。


最初の数分は静かに浮いてるだけでしたが、ついに現れてくれました！皆さん、シュノーケリングくわえながらの歓喜の悲鳴です。大きな口を開けて、海水とプランクトンを飲み込み、のけ反って一回転。お腹の模様もバッチリ見えました。お腹の模様は一枚一枚違っていて、個体登録しているそうで、映像や画像をどこだかに送って、まだ登録されてない個体だとわかると、名前を付けさせてくれるそうです。私もずっと動画を撮っていたので、はっきり模様がわかるものを送ってみたいと思います。

これでもか！というくらいのマンタを見せてもらって、ボートに戻りました。シュノーケルとウェットスーツを返して、温かいココアとスナック菓子二種類をいただきました。そこからは、全速力で港へ。濡れた身体に強風が凄く寒かったです。是非風を通さない上着を持って行ってください。

本当に参加して良かったです。お薦めです！

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＞

A tour to fully enjoy the nature of Maui. マウイ島の自然を満喫できるツアー

Reviewed by: やこた

It's the best experience! The crew's service, the delicious food, and above all, the beauty of the ocean...!!

The flow of the tour was as follows:

- Early morning pickup in front of the hotel
- Everyone gathered at the dock
(There were about 30 people in total. We were the only Japanese.)
- Breakfast buffet in the order of boarding
(There was plenty of bread, muffins, fruits, etc.)
- Snorkeling at Molokini Island
(The clarity was amazing... we saw various tropical fish, including angelfish.)
- Lunch
(We had burgers. The meat was grilled on the boat, and it smelled great. We could choose from about three types.)
- Snorkeling at a point called Turtle Town
(We were able to swim close to sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean here was also incredible... thanks to the sunlight, the seabed sparkled, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.)
- On the way back to the dock, we enjoyed beer (as much as you want; it's all-you-can-drink.)
- We were driven back to the pickup location and then dispersed.

☆ Advice
- Once on the boat, sit near the entrance indoors. The view from the second floor is beautiful, but it gets really hot.
- Organic sunscreen was provided on the boat, but it turns quite white when applied, so it might be better to bring your own to avoid looking like a clown.
- When there's sunlight, your back and calves can get burned! Make sure to apply and reapply sunscreen.
- Lunch can get quite crowded, so it's best to grab it early. Getting it early will also help with your condition for the next snorkeling session.

I wrote various pieces of advice, all of which I learned from KANA, the crew member who provided Japanese support. I really appreciated her help. I gave a tip to KANA personally when disembarking. She was bright, attentive, and a wonderful person.

We missed it, but it seems that whales could be seen even in April. There were also whale sharks. You can expect more fun than just snorkeling, so if you visit Maui, definitely participate!

最高の一言です。クルーの対応、食事のおいしさ、何より海のきれいさ…！！
ツアーの流れとしては次のようなかんじです。

･早朝ホテル前でピックアップ
･船着場でみんな集合
(全部で30人ほどだったでしょうか。日本人は私たちだけでした。)
・乗船した順に、朝食バイキング
(パン、マフィン、フルーツなど、十分な量でした。)
・モロキニ島でシュノーケリング
(透明度がすばらしかったです…いろんな熱帯魚を見れました。エンゼルフィッシュもいました。)
・昼食
(バーガーでした。お肉は船で焼いてくれて、いい匂いが漂ってました。3種類くらいから選べました。)
・タートルタウンというポイントでシュノーケリング
(ウミガメと至近距離で泳ぐことができました。ここでも海のきれいさがすばらしくて…日差しがあったおかげで海底もキラキラしていて、言葉にならないきれいさでした。)
・船着場までの帰り道はビールを飲みながら(何杯でも。飲み放題です。)
・ピックアップ場所まで車で送ってもらって解散

☆アドバイス
・船に乗船したら屋内で出入口から近い席に座りましょう。船の2階も眺めはきれいですがめっちゃ焼けます。
・オーガニックの日焼け止めが船に用意されていましたが、塗ったらけっこう白くなるので、顔はバカ殿みたいにならないように、自前のものを塗って行った方が良いかもしれません。
・日差しがあると、背中やふくらはぎ等、体の裏側が焼けます！しっかり塗る＆塗り直し必須です。
・昼食はけっこう並ぶので、早めにゲットしちゃいましょう。早めに消化させちゃったほうが次のシュノーケリングへのコンディションとしても良いと思います。

色々アドバイス書きましたが、これ全部、日本語サポートしてくれたクルーのKANAさんから教えてもらったものです。本当にお世話になりました。下船する際にチップをKANAさん個人へお渡ししました。明るくてサポートもきめ細かくて、とってもすてきな方でした。

私たちは見逃しましたが、4月でもクジラが見えたみたいです。ジンベイザメもいたとのこと。単なるシュノーケリング以上の楽しさが期待できるので、マウイ島に行かれた際はぜひ参加してみてください。

My dream has come true! 夢がかなった！

Reviewed by: けんぱぱ

I wanted to see the largest living creature up close, and that wish came true. When I participated in a tour in Okinawa before, I could only see a blow, but this time I got to see "peduncle arch," "fluke up," and even from a distance, "breaching." The boat was large, so we couldn't get too close, but it was wonderful to see the humpback whale with the naked eye. I think it depends on the weather, but on the day of the tour, the wind was quite strong on the sea, and there were waves, so I recommend bringing a sweater or jumper for warmth.

現存で生息する最大の生物をまじかで見たい。それが叶いました。
以前沖縄でツアーに参加した時はブローしか観られませんでしたが、「ペダンクルアーチ」「フルークアップ」遠目でしたが「ブリーチング」までサービスしてくれました。船が大きいため、あまり接近は出来ませんでしたが肉眼でザトウクジラを観ることができてとてもよかったです。天候にもよると思いますが当日海上はけっこう風が強く、波もあって寒かったのでセーターかジャンパー等の寒さよけの備えはしていったほうが良いと思います。

Swimming with dolphins is the best! ドルフィンスイム最高！

Reviewed by: とらちゃん

It was my first time swimming with dolphins, and it was truly amazing!
The weather on the day of participation was cloudy, and it had just rained, making the temperature quite low, which wasn't ideal.
I knew very well that since they are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%, so I was quite anxious... but!
I was able to see many dolphins, and I was genuinely moved!
I thought I wouldn't be able to get too close since you're not supposed to chase them, and I hoped to see them from a distance, but unexpectedly, I got to see them up close and was super excited!
When I dove a little, I felt like I could reach out and touch them—how could they be so close?!
After the dolphin swim, I went snorkeling and saw small fish and a sea turtle.
Unlike dolphins, the sea turtle swam while being rocked by the waves, so even though I knew I shouldn't touch it, I felt a bit nervous when it came close to me. (laughs)
I probably didn't swim for very long during the dolphin swim or snorkeling, but it did take quite a bit of energy.
So, the cheeseburger made by the captain tasted even better.
The crew members were all very nice, and it seemed like they were keeping a close eye on those who were anxious about swimming or their stamina.
The photos taken by the photographer can be purchased separately.
Before the dolphin swim, there was an explanation, and the guide, Musashi, said,
"You are free to take photos with your own camera, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. See the dolphins with your own eyes! You can also purchase photos from the photographer."
At that moment, I thought, "They just want to sell photos..." (sorry about that), but those words are true!
I believe you should definitely see the wild dolphins with your own eyes and imprint that memory.
At the end, there was even a discussion about environmental considerations for the dolphins, which really touched me.
It made me think about starting small eco-friendly practices so that dolphin swim tours can continue for a long time.

One thing I was concerned about was that the day of participation coincided with the Honolulu Half Marathon, which caused traffic restrictions, and the pickup took over an hour.
Since we were the first pickup, we spent quite a long time on the bus. (laughs)
The guides worked hard to manage the situation, and in the end, we got to see the dolphins without any complaints, but I think the marathon wasn't something that was decided yesterday or today, so it would have been even better if some measures could have been taken!

人生初のドルフィンスイムでしたが、本当に最高でした！
参加日は曇り、ついさっきまで雨が降っていて気温も低めというあまり良くないコンディション。
野生の生き物なので見れる確率は100%ではないのは重々承知の上参加していますがとても不安…でしたが！
沢山のイルカを見る事が出来て本当に本当に感動しました！
イルカは追いかけてはいけないし、あまり近くにより過ぎる事もないだろうから遠目に見れたら良いな…と思っていたのですが、予想外に近くで見れて大興奮！
ちょっと潜水したら手が届きそうでこんなにも近くで見れるの！？と思いました。
ドルフィンスイム後のシュノーケリングでは小さい魚やウミガメを見ました。
ウミガメはイルカと違い波に揺られながら泳いでいるので触れてはいけない…とわかっていてもウミガメの方から近付いてきてヒヤヒヤしました。笑
ドルフィンスイムもシュノーケリングも恐らくそんなに長くやっていないのですが、結構体力使います。
なのでキャプテンが作ってくれるチーズバーガーがより美味しく感じました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方ばかりで、泳ぎや体力に不安がある方はきちんと見ていてくれているようでした。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は別途有料で購入出来ます。
ドルフィンスイム前に説明があるのですが、ガイドのムサシさんが
「自分のカメラで写真を撮るのは自由ですが、写真を撮る事にとらわれ過ぎないで。自分の目でイルカを見て！写真はカメラマンからも購入出来ます。」
と仰っていて、この時は「写真を買わせようとしているな…」と思っていましたが(すみません)
この言葉は本当です！
野生のイルカ、絶対自分の目でしっかり見て焼き付けるべきだと思います。
最後はイルカの為に環境配慮の話しまであり、ジーンとしました。
いつまでもドルフィンスイムツアーが可能なよう、自分も小さな事からエコを始めようと考えさせられました。

一つ気になったのは参加日がホノルルハーフマラソン当日で交通規制がかかりピックアップのみで１時間超えだった事。
私達は一番最初のピックアップだったので結構長い間バスに乗りました。笑
ガイドさん達も一生懸命対処してくださりましたし、結果的にイルカも見れて文句無し、ですがマラソン自体は昨日今日決まった事ではないと思うので、何かしらの対策を講じる事が出来ていたら更に良かったのかな！？と思います！

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

The fish is cute. 魚かわいい

Reviewed by: あさひ

Before entering the water, we gathered as a group of Japanese people to watch a video. Since it was just watching, I wondered if I could really do it, which made me quite anxious. I thought a Japanese guide would be on our boat, but instead, we were on a different boat with only local people, and since we couldn't communicate, it added to my unease.

I had assumed my face wouldn't get wet, so I wore makeup, but I ended up getting soaked while entering and exiting the water. We were divided into groups and it felt like a conveyor belt as we kept going into the sea. For those who are scared, being pushed underwater without any mental preparation can be frightening.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and cold. While other groups were doing their activities, we were told we could snorkel freely, but there was no one to follow us (there might have been someone, but we couldn't communicate!). There was one person snorkeling alone, but there were no staff watching over us. Given the high cost, it was disappointing to think that the snorkeling fee was included for just a 10-minute Sea Bob experience with no one to supervise.

However, the underwater scenery was beautiful!

入水前に日本人だけで集められビデオを観ます。観るだけなので、本当に出来るかな？？と、なかなか不安を煽られます。
日本人ガイドさんも船に乗ってくれると思っていましたが、違う船に乗られ、現地の方だけしかおらず言葉も通じないので不安でした。
顔は濡れないと思っていたので化粧をしていったのですが出入りでがっつり濡れます。
グループ分けをされ流れ作業のように、どんどん海に入っていく形でした。心の準備をする前に海にもぐらされるので怖い人は怖いと思います。
あいにくの天気で寒かったのが残念です。
また他のグループが行なっている間、シュノーケルは自由にしていいとのことでしたが、誰もがフォローしてくれる人がおらず(いたのかもしれないけど言葉が通じない！)出来ませんでした。
１人シュノーケルをしてる人はいましたが、誰もスタッフで見ている人はいませんでした。
高い金額なだけに、10分のシーボブ体験のみに、誰もみてくれないシュノーケル代も込みかぁ…と残念です。
海の中は綺麗でした！

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

I was able to see wild dolphins up close multiple times, and it became the best memory! 野生のイルカを間近で何度も見られ、最高の思い出になりました！

I had previously swum with wild dolphins on another tour, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, I wanted to try a different tour, so I joined the highly-rated and well-organized tour by the prestigious Dolphin University.

On the bus ride there, the guide shared not only knowledge about dolphins but also various stories about Hawaii, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. The guides and crew members had a great rapport, and everyone was friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish.

Once we set sail, we quickly spotted wild dolphins! We could see them jumping from the boat, and I hurriedly got ready to jump in! A large pod of dolphins swam back and forth near us, and it felt like we were swimming together. I was truly moved. I think I swam quite hard for a significant amount of time, but I was so engrossed that I forgot all about the fatigue.

When I got back on the boat, the crew had prepared freshly made hamburgers for us. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot, where we were able to see many fish. We even spotted swimming sea turtles, which was very satisfying!

We jumped off the boat into the sea, did some stand-up paddleboarding, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. It was truly a packed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

The next time I participate in a dolphin swimming tour, I would definitely like to use Dolphin University again!

以前他のツアーで野生のイルカと泳いだことがあり、その感動が忘れられず、今回は前回と違うツアーで参加してみたいと思い、評判もよく、内容も充実している名門イルカ大学さんのツアーに参加させていただきました。

行きのバスではガイドの方からイルカの知識だけでなく、ハワイに関するいろいろなお話も聞け、あっという間に港まで着きました。ガイドやクルーの方同士も仲が良く、皆さんフレンドリーで最初から最後までとても雰囲気がよかったです。

いざ出港してからは、本当にすぐに野生のイルカを発見！
船からも飛び跳ねるイルカの姿が見え、急いで準備をして飛び込みました！
たくさんのイルカの群れが何度も行ったり来たりで近くを泳いでくれ、真下を通ったり、一緒に泳いでいるような感覚で、本当に感動しました。結構な時間、しっかりハードに泳いだと思うのですが、そんな疲れを忘れてしまうくらい、夢中になってしまいました。

船に上がると、クルーの方がハンバーガーを作ってくれていて、できたてをいただきました。
その後はシュノーケルのスポットに移動したのですが、こちらもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。泳いでいるウミガメも見られ、大満足でした！

船からジャンプして海に飛び込んだり、SUPができたり、帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったり、本当に最初から最後まで盛りだくさんで楽しませていただきました。

またイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加する際は、名門イルカ大学さんを利用したいと思います！

冬季限定！ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～4月／英語ガイド／ラハイナ港発＞

I saw a whale! くじら見えました！

Reviewed by: ゆみまる

I saw more whales than I expected. It was great to see dolphins swimming alongside them too! I felt like we were closer to the whales than on other boats.

思っていたよりもたくさんくじらが見えました。一緒に、イルカも泳いでるのが見えてとても良かったです(^^)！ほかの船よりもくじらに近いような気がしました。

It was quite a hard tour starting at 5:30 AM, but we got to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! The staff had great energy, and there was time for fun. I was very tired, but it was so much fun!

朝5時半集合でなかなかのハードツアーでしたがいるか、くじら、海ガメも見れました！
スタッフのノリも良く、遊びの時間もありとっても疲れましたがとっても楽しかったです。

ホエールウォッチ　マジェスティック号　横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船＜アロハタワー発／12/26～3/31＞

I made great memories. いい思い出ができました。

Reviewed by: はなこう

The weather was nice, so I made an online reservation the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales as I booked the whale watching at the last minute, but the lunch was more luxurious than I expected, and soft drinks were free. Considering it was a lunch cruise, it was fantastic. As soon as we boarded, we were told we could start eating, so I thought I could have had a lighter breakfast. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket and sunglasses were necessary. My 9-year-old and 4-year-old also enjoyed it.

お天気も良かったので、現地で前日にネット申し込みしました。ホエールウォッチングも最終段階での申し込みで、残念ながら見れませんでしたが、ランチが思っていた以上に豪華で、ソフトドリンクは無料で
ランチクルーズと思えば最高でした。
乗って直ぐに、食べてもいいと言うことでしたので、朝は軽めに済ませても良かったなと思いました。
クーラーもガンガンのため上着とサングラスよいどめは必要です。
9歳4歳の子も楽しめました。

Misunderstanding or mix-up 入れ違い

Reviewed by: T NMM

It was really disappointing that there was no information provided, such as the address and map of the departure location, so that I could go directly there if I couldn't get in touch due to the morning mix-up.

朝入れ違いで、連絡取れないのなら、直接現地へ行けるように、出港場所の住所と地図くらい提示がなかったのは、すごく残念でした。
