I participated in the encounter.
Good points:
The bus is large, so it's less likely to make you feel sick.
It's sufficient for elementary school lower grades.
You can feed the birds as much as you want.

Bad points:
Each guardian needs to be a separate adult, which is not suitable for families with many children. I was charged a change fee of 99 USD when I requested a change.
The tour price is high.
The facilities are old, and the food is not great. I should have brought my own.
The meeting time for the return was at 14:30, which was busy and tiring.

Result:
If I had been familiar with it, I could have arranged it differently.

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 had a truly precious and wonderful experience!! 本当に貴重で素敵な体験ができました！！

Reviewed by: わーこ

Thanks to the cheerful explanation from the staff, my morning drowsiness disappeared, and I was able to participate with excitement! I got to see dolphins, sea turtles, and whales, which was truly a wonderful experience. The beauty of the ocean, the beauty of the mountains, and the sight of the dolphins swimming were all moving. The captains were also very nice, and I felt it was the right decision to join this tour. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely want to participate!

お姉さんの元気な説明で、朝の眠気も吹き飛んでワクワクした気持ちで参加ができました！
イルカもウミガメもクジラも見ることができ、本当に素敵な体験ができました。
海の綺麗さ、山の綺麗さ、イルカたちの泳いでいる姿全てが感動でした。
船長さん達もとてもいい人で、このツアーに参加して正解だったと思いました。またハワイに行くことがあれば、必ず参加したいです！！

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 was able to see whales!! クジラ見れましたよ！！

Reviewed by: GORI

I didn't expect to see many whales, but I was able to see quite a few. When we arrived at the boat via the shuttle bus, there were already many guests on board, but we secured a table on the second floor and enjoyed some coffee as we set sail. After about an hour, we reached the area past Diamond Head, and just when I was about to give up on seeing any whales, we spotted one blowing water and showing its tail. We were able to see it about five or six more times. The outside deck was too crowded, but it was better inside the boat where there were fewer people, making it easy to see out of the windows on both sides. It was a sunny day, and the sun was reflecting off the water, so sunglasses were a must. When I asked the bus driver on the way back to drop me off at Ala Moana, he agreed.

クジラを見ることをあまり期待していませんでしたが、たくさん見ることができました。迎えのバスで船に着くと、船内には既に多くの先客がいましたが、２階のテーブルに席を確保し、コーヒーなどを飲んでいると出航しました。１時間ほどでダイヤモンドヘッドの先につきましたが、クジラが見当たらないのであきらめていたところ、潮を吹きながら、テールを見せるクジラを発見。その後も５-６回見ることができました。外のデッキは人が多くていけませんでいたが、船の中のほうが人が少なく、左右の窓から容易にみられるので、良かったです。当日は晴れて太陽が水面に反射していたのでサングラスは必須です。帰りのバスの運転手さんにアラモアナで降りたいとお願いしたらOK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＞

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Waking up early was tough for me (since I'm not good at it), but I was very satisfied to meet a pod of dolphins. We were able to snorkel with about 20 dolphins for around 20 minutes (it might have been longer!).

On the bus to the port, a Japanese female tour guide taught us a lot about dolphins, which was very informative. It was a bit cold since it was February, but I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I managed to avoid catching a cold on the way back.

We got seasick and felt a bit unwell during the trip, but we still managed to have fun! A professional photographer took pictures during the tour, and you can purchase them for $50. The photographer was taking photos of participants on the boat and diving to capture shots at the dolphin points. We didn't buy any this time since we couldn't check what kind of photos were taken before purchasing, but many other participants ended up buying them!

Whether the weather is good or how many dolphins you encounter depends on luck that day, but I've never been on a dolphin tour where I didn't see any, so you can be sure you'll have a high chance of encountering them! It was a fun tour!

早起きが大変でした(苦手なので)が、イルカの群れと会うことができて、大満足でした。
２０頭くらいのイルカの群れと一緒に、２０分くらい(もっと長かったかもしれない)シュノーケリングできました！
港までのバスの中では、ツアーガイドの日本人女性の方にイルカのことを詳しく教えてもらい勉強になりました。
２月だったので少し寒かったですが、ウエットスーツを10ドルで借りたので何とか風邪は引かずに帰って来れました。
私たちは船酔いし、途中気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、それでも楽しむことができました！
ツアーの様子は、プロのカメラマンさんが写真に撮ってくれていて、５０ドルで購入することができます。カメラマンさんは、船の上では参加者にカメラを向けてくれていましたし、イルカのポイントでは潜って撮っていました。どんな写真が撮れているのか購入前に確認できなかったちめ、私たちは今回は購入しませんでしたが、他の参加者の皆さんは結構購入されている方が多かったです！
天気が良いかや、どのくらいイルカと出会えるかは当日の運次第ですが、イルカのツアーでこれまでに出会えなかったことはないので、高確率で出会えること間違いなしです！
楽しいツアーでしたー！

Reviewed by: daiT

I signed up for Dolphin Aloha, and both my 10-year-old and 2-year-old sons had a great time. The site mentioned to bring sandals and towels, but they turned out to be unnecessary for this course (there are a few moments where you might get a little wet, but they inform you in advance).

Before the course, the staff checks both hands. My wife was a bit worried because she had nail art, but they checked one spot on each hand, and since there were few protrusions and it was coated, we received the OK after the check.

Cameras and phones are not allowed, so you can purchase photos taken by the staff later (optional). A passport is required for credit card use, but a photo of it was also acceptable.

The course was organized into a group of only Japanese participants, and the guidance was provided in Japanese, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. During regular periods, about half of the participants are Japanese, and during busy periods, it's about 80%.

ドルフィンアロハを申し込みましたが、10歳及び2歳の息子、二人とも楽しんでいました。
サイトにはサンダルとタオル持参とかいてあったのですが、このコースでは結果的に不要でした（少し濡れる場面はありますが、事前に言っていただけます）
コース前には両手を係の方がチェックされます。妻がネイルアートをしていたので少し心配していたのですが、両手一カ所ずつで、突起も少なくコーティングもしてあったからか、チェックしていただいた上でOKをいただきました。
カメラ、携帯が使えないので、係の方が捕られた写真をあとで購入する形です（任意）クレジットカード利用時にはパスポートが必要ですが、写真でもOKでした。
コースは日本人だけのグループが作られて、日本語で案内が行われ、安心して参加できました。通常期で半分、繁忙期だと8割が日本人とのことです。

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＞

Finally, the manta did a backflip underwater for us! 最後にマンタは、海中バック転してくれました！

Reviewed by: K－M

Around 5 PM, we left the harbor and watched the sunset over the ocean. There were about four to five boats offshore. The wind was a bit strong, and the waves crashed violently against the Sheraton Hotel's pier. Feeling a little cold, I tightened my wetsuit up to my neck. Around 6 PM, enveloped in twilight, about 20 participants took turns entering the sea and gazing at the surface. Perhaps due to the weather, the manta rays were not appearing easily... Shortly after, they showed up in slightly deeper waters (3-5 meters?) and passed by. As my body temperature dropped and about 40-50 minutes had passed, suddenly, a manta ray performed a backflip right beneath me! I was moved by the manta's spirit! For those prone to seasickness, feeling cold, or afraid of the ocean, I think it's good to approach this experience with a bit of caution. That said, since it's nature, whether you get to see the manta rays beautifully is a matter of luck.

１７時頃港を出て沖で日が沈むのを眺めています。沖合には４－５隻のボート・船。風はやや強く、シェラトンホテルの岸壁に激しく波が打ち付けられます。少し寒いな、とも感じてウエットスーツを首元までしめます。薄闇につつまれる１８時ごろ（だったと思います）、２０人ほどの参加者が順繰りに海へ入り、海面をみつめます。天候のせいか、なかなかマンタは現れててくれません。。。それからほどなく少し深い（３－５ｍ？）ところに現れては、通りすぎていきます。体温も下がってきて、４０－５０分が過ぎるころ、いきなり自分のからだの真下あたりからバック転をしながら、マンタがサービスしてくれました！マンタの心意気に感動でした！船酔いする方、寒がりの方、海が怖い方、ちょっとだけ用心して臨むとよいと思います。とはいえ自然のことなので、マンタが綺麗に見えるかどうかは運次第です；

What could be more exhilarating than interacting with an animal you have been taught all your life to fear? You have guides that take total care of you, from safety briefing to taking pictures of your interaction. This was my second time and the thrill was just as impressive as was the first time. This experience should be the number one activity for any tourist on Oahu. We were with 7 sharks and one barracuda. The speed and agility of sharks must be experienced to be appreciated. Sharks are magnificent animals. Thanks again guys for the ultimate experience.

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 saw so many dolphins, sea turtles, and whales that I may never see again in my lifetime! I think luck played a part, but it was amazing! 一生見ることのできないような、イルカ、ウミガメ、クジラがたくさん！運の要素も合ったと思いますが、最高でした！

Reviewed by: tonchy

While there is an element of luck involved since it's nature, I believe the 90% encounter rate is thanks to the expertise of the renowned Dolphin University.

About ten minutes into the boat ride, we had our first dive, where we only encountered a sea turtle, but during the second dive, we encountered dolphins. We saw dozens of them and were able to swim alongside them (though we couldn't dive since we were wearing life jackets).

We were also able to get very close to the sea turtles. While snorkeling, we were surrounded by many fish. We even got to go whale watching, and we clearly saw the tail of a whale, which is said to bring happiness when spotted.

It was the best experience, one that I doubt I will ever have again.

My wife mentioned that she found it tough because she can't swim and is sensitive to the cold, but this is a tour I want to participate in every time I come to Hawaii.

If you prepare well with cold weather gear (dry towels, long sleeves, wetsuits) and measures for seasickness, I think it will be an extremely satisfying tour.

Even if you don't see dolphins, the guide will keep the atmosphere lively, so I believe you'll have a fun time without a doubt.

I can confidently recommend this tour.

自然相手なので、運の要素はありますが、遭遇率90%は、名門イルカ大学さんの腕だと思います。

乗船10分程で、一回目のダイブ、そこではイルカには会えずにウミガメのみ、二回目のダイブでイルカと遭遇。何十匹と見えて、しかも一緒に泳ぐ（ライフジャケット来てるので、潜ることはできない）ことはできました。

ウミガメも目と鼻の先まで近づくことができました。
スノーケリングでは沢山の魚に囲まれます。
ホエールウォッチングも出来て、見ると幸せになるというクジラの尻尾までくっきりと見えました。

二度とこんな体験は出来ないだろう、というくらい最高の体験でした。

嫁は、泳げないのと、寒さに弱いのとで、もうきつい、と言ってましたが、私はハワイに来るたびには必ず参加したいツアーです。

防寒対策（乾いたタオル、長袖、ウェットスーツ）と船酔い対策をしっかりしておけば極めて満足感の高いツアーになるのではないでしょうか。

たとえ、イルカに会えなくとも、ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるので、楽しい時間になることは間違いないと思います。

自信を持ってオススメできるツアーです。

Unfortunately, we encountered a day of heavy rain. Many people got off the shuttle bus from the hotel without umbrellas and boarded the boat. The air conditioning was strong, and we were shivering in our wet clothes. They temporarily turned off the air conditioning after seeing us, but it was soon turned back on. The sea outside was also rough, making it quite challenging.

As for the whales, there was an announcement about their direction, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any and received replacement tickets. My friend who got seasick probably won't go again! (laughs) However, I think the tour itself isn't bad, as weather and whale sightings are a matter of luck.

あいにくの大雨の日に当たってしまいました。ホテルから送迎バスを降りて、傘を持ってなかった人も多くて船に乗り込みました。
冷房が強くて、濡れた服を着た私達は震えてました。その様子を見て一旦冷房を止めてくれたのですが、すぐに再開。外の海も荒れていたので、なかなか辛かったです。

I participated thinking I would see whales like in the photos above, but I could only see a spout in the distance and a small tail fin. If you join with expectations like those in the photos, you might feel quite disappointed. I think it's better to have the mindset that seeing even a little would be lucky. However, the tour guides and the view of Waikiki from the sea are fantastic.

As for the weather and the taste of the beer, it feels incredibly luxurious. Just be careful of seasickness!

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey... ちょっとお高いのが難点・・・

Reviewed by: minikichi

Most participants are elderly individuals who cannot engage in snorkeling or other marine sports. At the deepest point, we dive down to about 30 meters to see sunken ships and other sights on the seabed. There is also a Japanese audio guide available, so I don't think there will be any issues. If you request a pickup, you will arrive about an hour before the meeting time, and there will be an additional 45 minutes after the return. I think it would be efficient to enjoy some tea nearby or take a stroll around Kailua-Kona during this time. The hotel we stayed at only had high-end souvenir shops, and since we weren't planning to stop by Honolulu, it was great to be able to buy souvenirs all at once at the ABC Store inside the King Kamehameha Hotel.

参加者は、シュノーケルやその他のマリンスポーツができない御高齢の方がほとんどです。いちばん深いところでは、海底30メートルくらいまで潜ります。海底に沈んだ船なども見ることができます。日本語のイヤホンガイドもあり、困ることはほとんどないと思われます。送迎をお願いした場合、集合時間の一時間前くらいに着き、帰りもさらに45分ほど時間があります。この時間に、近くでお茶を飲んだりカイルア・コナの散策もしてしまうと効率が良いと思います。私たちが泊まったホテルには高級なお土産屋さんしかなく、ホノルルにも立ち寄る予定がなかったので、キングスカメカメハホテルの中のABCストアでまとめてお土産を購入でき、良かったです。

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＞

I couldn't meet the manta, and I couldn't try again (within 7 days). マンタに会えず、再挑戦（７日以内）も出来ず

Reviewed by: Kaborin

After reading experiences about the smartphone tour and knowing it was a boat departing from Keauhou Bay, I thought it would be perfect for me since I easily get seasick and feel cold, so I made a reservation. However, on February 16, the day I made the reservation, I received an email via VELTRA at 9 AM notifying me that the tour was canceled due to bad weather. The message stated that I would receive a full refund, and there was a link below for rescheduling the reservation.

I quickly made a reservation for the following day, February 17, and soon received a confirmation reply through VELTRA. However, the next day, there were zero manta rays. When disembarking, I was told, "The office opens at 8 AM tomorrow, so please call." But the next day, I had a tour with Kona Brewing where I would be drinking, so I couldn't drive afterward, and I had to return home the following day.

In a bind, I sent a question email to the VELTRA representative who had sent me the cancellation email, but I received no reply. I had seen too many experiences on VELTRA and mistakenly thought that if I didn't see manta rays, I could try again anytime, similar to other tours. However, for this tour, the information about being able to retry within seven days if I didn't see manta rays only appeared if I opened the "View Details" section on my smartphone.

(There was also information in the Q&A about what to do if I didn't see manta rays, but I noticed it too late...) The guide might have explained the details about retrying when disembarking, but I couldn't understand because I'm not fluent in English. It's my own mistake, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm really disappointed that I didn't see any manta rays. Next time, I plan to choose a tour where I can retry anytime if I don't see manta rays.

スマホの体験談を読み、ケアウホウ湾から出る船とのことで、船酔いしやすく又寒がりの私にはこれだ！と思い、予約しましたが…。
予約をした２月16日は、VELTRA経由で朝９時にメールで天候不順で中止との連絡が。
金額は全額返金との文面、更にその下には日程を変更して予約する場合のリンクが貼られていました。
すぐに翌17日の予約を入れ、程なく予約確定の返事もVELTA経由で頂いたのですが…。
翌日決行するも、マンタはゼロ。
下船時『明日８時から事務所が開くので、電話してください』というような話をされましたが、翌日はコナブリューイングのツアーでお酒を飲むため、その後の運転はNG、そして次の日にはもう帰国せねばならず。
困り果て、中止メールを頂いたVERTRAの担当者さんに質問メールを入れましたが、返事はなく…。
VELTRAさんでツアーの体験談をいろいろ見すぎてしまったことで、マンタが見られなかった場合は、またいつでも挑戦可能という他のツアーの体験談と勘違いしてしまい、このツアーも再挑戦はいつでもOKなのだと思い込んでしまっていました。
このツアーは、スマホだと〔詳細を見る〕というところを開けないとマンタが見れなかった場合７日以内に再挑戦可能という文面が現れません。
（Q&Aにも、マンタに会えなかった場合のことが書いてありましたが、気づくのが遅かった…）
ガイドさんは、下船時に再挑戦に際しての詳しい話もされていたのかもしれませんが、英語が堪能ではないので、理解できず。
自分のミスで、仕方ないことですが、マンタが見られず、本当に残念です。
次回は、マンタに会えなかった場合は再挑戦がいつでもOKなところを選ぼうと思います。

First of all, there are numerous whale watching tours in Lahaina. The tour I participated in had its check-in and departure point at the main loading dock right in front of the Pioneer Inn in Lahaina, where there were more than ten operating booths. Despite this, I saw several people who tried to sign up on the day and were turned away due to being "fully booked," with alternative dates suggested. I think it's better to make a reservation in advance.

It was quite a windy day, but I had no worries about seasickness (though this is just my personal opinion). Of course, it wasn't completely smooth, but it was more like the sensation of a theme park ride rather than the kind of rocking that causes seasickness, and it had quite a sense of speed.

As we departed from Lahaina Harbor and saw the streets of Lahaina, it was truly wonderful. Just this view felt worth the price (laughs). In the first half, we didn't see many whales, but in the second half, we were able to see whales up close quite frequently. The staff was friendly, enthusiastically pointing out, "Look over there!" and "Ten o'clock direction!"

Most of the passengers were not Japanese, but there were no particular issues as we didn't need to converse with each other. The shape of the boat was large enough to accommodate about 40 people, and it was two stories. Most passengers enjoyed the activity on the upper deck. There was also a bar corner (with soft drinks available, of course). There was no pressure to order drinks.

As for some advice, I recommend fully charging your camera or smartphone battery. You never know where the whales will surface. They have a behavior pattern of "suddenly surfacing with their snout, then diving headfirst into the water, and finally showing their tail before submerging," which lasts about 20 seconds. Therefore, to capture that decisive moment, you need to keep your camera ON at all times. I missed out on taking good photos because my battery wasn't sufficiently charged (T_T). Also, while cruising, it can be quite windy, so be careful not to get blown away.

　冬の時季にマウイ島に旅行することができましたので、ホエールウオッチングを楽しむことにしてVELTRAさんで事前に予約しました。
　マウイ島に旅行される場合はぜひ参加したいアクティビティです。

　まず、ラハイナでは数多くのホエールウオッチングツアーがあります。今回参加したツアーはラハイナのパイオニアインのすぐ前のmain loading dockが受付・出港場所ですが、ここだけでも１０を超える営業小屋？がありました。それにもかかわらず当日に申し込みをしようとして「満員」ということで断られ、別の日などを提示されていた方を何人か見かけました。事前予約しておいた方が良いと思います。

　当日はかなり風が強い日でした。しかし船酔いなどの心配はまったくありませんでした（ただし個人的な感想です）。もちろんまったく揺れない訳ではありませんが、船酔いのする揺れではなく、遊園地の乗り物のような感じのけっこうスピード感のあるものでした。
　ラハイナ港を出港して、ラハイナの街並みを見るととても素晴らしいものでした。これだけでも料金の元を取ったような感じでした（笑）
　前半ではあまりクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、後半になるとかなりの頻度でクジラを近くから見ることができました。スタッフもフレンドリーで、「あっちに見えるぞ」、「１０時方向だ」などと熱心に対応してくれました。

　乗客のほとんどは日本人以外の方でしたが、お互いに会話が必要な訳でもなく特に問題はありませんでした。
　船の形状は４０人くらいが満員の大きさで、２階建てです。ほとんどの乗客は２階部分でアクティビティを楽しみます。一応、バーコーナー（もちろんソフトドリンク有り）もあります。飲み物のオーダーを強制されるようなことはありません。
　
　何点かアドバイス的なことでは、カメラやスマホのバッテリーは十分に充電しておくことをお勧めします。クジラはどこに顔を出すか分かりません。「ギューンと口先から顔を出して、そのまま海面に頭から潜っていき、最後にテールを出した後に水中に潜る」という行動パターンです。この間、２０秒ほどです。そのため決定的瞬間を撮影するためには、いつもカメラをONにしておく必要があるからです。私は充電が十分でなかったため、良い写真を撮りはぐってしまいました(T_T)
　それから会場をクルージングしていると風が強いです。飛ばされないように注意して下さい。

The weather was great, and I was thrilled to see multiple whales up close! I decided to remember the experience rather than just capture it on camera, so I would love to join again if I get the chance! I didn't understand English, but thanks to the friendly crew staff, I had a wonderful time!

天候もよく何度も、何頭も、ブリーチまで見ることができ感激しました！
カメラより目に焼き付けることにしたので、また出会いたくなったら、参加したいと思います！
英語はわからなかったけど、気さくなクルースタッフのおかげで十分に楽しめました！

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Fun time

Reviewed by: George

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Beautiful way to spend the morning

Reviewed by: Jenny H

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

カハラホテル＆リゾート　ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカとの触れ合い体験プログラム！

A dream-like time. 夢の様な時間

Reviewed by: ナナシ

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Of course, the trainer spoke English, so I was worried about my limited listening skills, but they kindly taught us using body language, which made it a lot of fun. It might be reassuring to have some basic swimming skills. The dolphins were truly adorable, and both my daughter and I were captivated. Although it was only 25 minutes, I think it was just the right amount of time for a 6-year-old in terms of physical stamina. The next day, my daughter seemed to have the best memories, as she didn't want to leave the dolphin lagoon at all.

６歳娘と参加しました。
もちろんですがトレーナーさんは英語ですので、私のつたないリスニング能力では心配でしたが親切にボディランゲージで教えてくれたのでとても楽しめました。
軽い泳ぎの能力はあった方が安心かもしれません。
イルカは本当に可愛くて、娘も私も虜になりました。
２５分ですが６歳児には体力的に丁度良かったと思います。
次の日イルカのラグーンから全然離れないくらい娘には最高の思い出になったようです。
