Our group of four "seniors" wanted to experience this unique water activity during our visit to Oahu. The underwater scooter adventure exceeded our expectations. The entire team from Bob's was very helpful to all of us onboard. They did a great job of communicating to not only those of us from the U.S. but were able to converse with the customers who were from Japan and needed communications in their native language.
We had been given appropriate safety briefings before heading out to the dive site. The outdoor temperature in mid October was in the mid 80s so not uncomfortable. The water temperature was a reasonable 75+ but we adapted to it as soon as we got into the water on the scooters.
The divers gave us appropriate underwater instructions to get us going and to set up the underwater photos for each person. We did have unusual trade winds that caused some bouncing and rolling in the boat but once in the water on the scooter or when snorkeling, it was mitigated. The water was clear and we had a variety of fish that swarmed around us as they were feeding on the food that the divers attached to the scooters. A unique feeling to have all of these colorful fish surrounding you in their environment.
We also had the opportunity to see a number of sea turtles both under water and coming to the surface. It would have been great to have had more time actually underwater but we only could accommodate 2 - 3 people underwater at one time. It probably would have been more enjoyable from the customer perspective with a few less onboard the boat.
Our group did take the opportunity to do some snorkeling after we completed our time on the underwater scooters. All in all a great time to remember and yes we did buy the photos especially for the video that was offered as well.
We have not been able to access our photos yet as we are still on vacation and will need to do so when we get home. Hopefully, they will be as delightful to watch as what we experienced

This was my third time using the service, and I have enjoyed it every time. It was my first time participating with a large group, and everyone was thrilled with the turtles. It got a bit windy and cold after a while, but we were still able to enjoy sailing.
私は利用が今回で三回目でしたが、毎回楽しいです。

We went on our honeymoon. During the car ride, we received a fun and easy-to-understand explanation about dolphins. Perhaps we were well-prepared, as many dolphins welcomed us right away. Once we got in the water, I found myself completely absorbed with the dolphins, feeling joyful and happy! It was the best!
It was so much fun to see dolphins jumping right in front of me, and I encountered generous dolphins with a great sense of service. I also got to see turtles nearby, which made me feel relaxed. It was nice to take things slowly. The colorful fish were also very cute.
The photos became wonderful memories. I truly felt fulfilled in many ways (the hamburger was delicious), thank you very much.
ハネムーンでいきました。車中で、イルカさんについての楽しくわかりやすい説明をうけました。準備バッチリだったのか、すぐにたくさんのイルカさんが迎えてくれました。入水し、気づけば無我夢中でイルカさんに、アロハ~楽しい!幸せな気持ち!最高!
目の前で水面でクルッとジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神の旺盛な気前のいいイルカさんに出会えて楽しかったです。亀さんも近くに見れて、ゆったりとした気持ちに。ゆっくりでいいんだぁなぁ~色とりどりのお魚さんもとってもかわいらしかったです。
写真もいい思い出になりました。ほんとにいろんな意味でお腹いっぱいになり(ハンバーガーおいしかったよ)、ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming. It's a unique experience in Hawaii! I was worried about swimming, but thanks to the life jacket and floatation device, I was fine. During the first try, I couldn't see the dolphins, but on the second attempt, with the guidance of the staff, I was able to see them perfectly. I'm glad I expressed that I was too shy to see them!

It was written that there would be a "BBQ on board," but in reality, it was just one cheeseburger and potato chips. It also mentioned "free eco bags with logo!" but there were no gifts.
The activity itself was good as we were able to see dolphins. The dolphins were small, specifically the spinner dolphins. We went to see them while they were sleeping, so we didn't get to see them coming close or swimming around as we had imagined.
「船上BBQ付き」と書いてあるましたが実際にはチーズバーガー1つとポテトチップスでした。また「ロゴ付きエコバックプレゼント!」と書いてありましたがプレゼントはありませんでした。
アクティビティ自体はイルカも見れて良かったです。イルカはハシナガイルカという小型のイルカ。寝ているところを見に行ったので、想像していたような近寄ってきたり泳ぎ回ったりという姿は見られませんでした。

I was excited to go to Hawaii for the first time and was determined not to miss snorkeling with dolphins, so I signed up for Dolphin School. On the day of the trip, after arriving at Waianae Harbor, we threw plumeria flowers into the sea during a safety prayer ceremony while wearing the wetsuits we rented that day, all while looking out at the beautiful ocean and searching for dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins that day, but while snorkeling, I was able to see schools of sardines, rays, and sea turtles up close. I was moved by the extraordinary experience of having a sea turtle swimming right next to me. I think that alone made this tour worthwhile! The staff were all lively and fun, and their efforts to entertain the participants were very evident. Thank you!
初めてハワイに行くことになり、絶対にイルカとのシュノーケリングははずせないと意気込んでイルカ中学に申し込みました。当日は、ワイアナエハーバーに到着後、船で沖に出る間に、安全祈願の儀式でプルメリアの花を海へ投げたり、ウェットスーツ(当日レンタルしたもの)を着用し美しい海を眺めながら、イルカを探していました。結局その日はイルカに会えなかったのですが、シュノーケリングをした時にイワシの群れやエイ、ウミガメを間近で見ることができました。ウミガメが自分のすぐ側を泳いでるという非日常に感動しました。それだけでもこのツアーに参加した価値はあったと思います!スタッフの方もみなさん元気でひょうきんな方が多く、参加者を楽しませようとしている気持ちがとても伝わってきました。ありがとうございました!

Once it started, the trainer could speak a little Japanese and taught us how to touch the dolphins in Japanese. I think the experience lasted just under an hour. The dolphins were smart and really cute. (*´∀`*)

I had plans to go to the North Shore, so I made a reservation out of curiosity. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we were given snorkels and entered the sea in a cage with around eight people. Looking around, I saw more than ten sharks, some about three meters long. It was quite thrilling, and I was very satisfied with the tour, which offered a thrill that you can't experience in Japan.
There were no other Japanese people besides us, and all the explanations were in English. However, I think it's not a problem even if you don't speak English, as you can understand the atmosphere.
It seems to depend on the day, but the boat does sway, so I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication.
ノースショアに行く予定がありましたので、興味本位で予約。船に揺られ20分くらいの沖で、シュノーケルを渡され、海に設置されている檻の中に8人程度で海へ入ります。あたりを見渡すと、10匹以上のサメがいました。3メートル程度あるものもおり、かなりドキドキしましたが、日本では味わえないスリルがあり、とても満足のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち以外にはいなく、説明もすべて英語でした。ただ、雰囲気で伝わりますので、英語ができなくても問題はないかなとも思います。
日によるみたいですが、船は揺れますので、酔い止めは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。

I was extremely excited to see the manta rays coming up from the seabed to the surface. I had been told not to touch the manta rays, but they came so close that I found myself twisting my body to avoid touching them. The boat was rocking quite a bit, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication. The sunset on the way to the spot was incredibly beautiful. Also, the night sky was stunning on the return trip. I think it could be called a Manta & Sunset & Night View Tour!
マンタが海底から水面に上ってきて補色をする姿に大興奮でした。マンタに触れてはいけないと説明されていたけれどあまりにも至近距離まで近づいてきてくれていたので体をくねらせてマンタに触れない体勢でいたほどです。かなり船が揺れるので酔い止めを飲んでいて良かったと思いました。ポイントまで行く間にサンセットがもの凄く綺麗でした。また帰りの船中では夜空が美しかったです。マンタ&サンセット&夜景ツアーという名でもよいのでは笑

I had a wonderful time being able to touch a dolphin for the first time and swim with them! I highly recommend this program! However, the Sea Life Park itself is not very large (you can walk around it in about an hour), so after playing with the dolphins, I found myself with some extra time. Also, while playing with the dolphins, you can't take photos with your smartphone, so you'll need to purchase the photos and data taken by the photographer later (for two people, it's 75 dollars for four photos each).
イルカに初めて触ることや一緒に泳いだりすることができて素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました^^オススメのプログラムです!
ただシーライフパーク自体はそこまで広くない場所(1時間もあれば一周できます)なので、イルカと遊んだあとは少し時間を弄んじゃいました。
またイルカと遊んでる時はスマホ等の撮影が出来ないので、カメラマンに撮ってもらった写真とデータを後で購入(2人の場合、各4枚で75ドル)する形となります。

My first catamaran experience. I was a bit nervous because I didn't understand all the instructions in English, but the staff were all lively and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
We encountered a pod of dolphins right after setting sail! Everyone was super excited! After a while, we went snorkeling offshore. With the current, I panicked a bit since I can't swim, but the staff came right away and helped me back to the boat. She was a woman, but very reliable!
After that, we spotted 2 or 3 sea turtles lingering nearby, and everyone was excited again! The rest of the voyage was stable, and we enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. It was a really fun time.

We were taken care of as a family of four, including my younger sister and my fifth-grade daughter. Although we participated from early morning, one person was late to the meeting time, which caused quite a bit of lost time on the bus, and that was unfortunate. My older sister was very energetic and funny from the morning, which helped me shake off my sleepiness! It took a while to find the dolphins. When we finally encountered them, they were surprisingly far away. I managed to see them, but my younger daughter, who was a bit late and had staff with her, unfortunately couldn't see them. There were quite a few people, so it was a bit of a struggle to see the dolphins. The university had dancing and burgers, and we enjoyed ourselves a lot beyond just the dolphins! I would like to try again next time. Also, motion sickness medication is a must! Many people were feeling unwell, and it was sad to see.

The first concern I had about this tour was seasickness. However, thanks to taking motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all. The waves were calm on the day of the tour. As for the dolphins, I can't say we swam with them, but we did see them. During the snorkeling afterward, I was able to see a baby sea turtle coming up for air at the surface. On the way back, many dolphins came around the boat, so we were able to do some dolphin watching.
このツアーにおいてまず心配だったのは船酔い。しかし酔い止めを飲んだおかげか全く気持ち悪くならなかった。当日は波も穏やかでした。肝心のイルカは、一緒に泳ぐとは呼べないがまぁ、見れました。その後のシュノーケルでは赤ちゃんのウミガメが海面で息継ぎするのが見れました。

It was my first time trying snorkeling, but I had a great time thanks to the kind staff who taught us.
When entering the water to explore with the dolphins, it's essential to move your legs to swim.
Even if you fall behind, the staff will be right behind you, so you can feel at ease.
I fell behind and was slow, so they helped pull me along (laughs).
If you borrow a wetsuit, it's $10 per person (cash payment on the day), but I think it's worth it!
So for your outfit on the way (like a swimsuit), it's better to choose something simple that's easy to wear, rather than something cute and frilly.
The day I participated, the wind was very strong, so it was disappointing that we couldn't do any water sports, but I was satisfied to see the dolphins and sea turtles up close♪
The staff kept the energy up until the end, making it a very satisfying tour!

I was really anxious because there were no staff who could speak Japanese. The bus guide on the way there and back sang songs and had breakfast from the morning, and in the end, they got off first without even saying goodbye.
日本語の話せるスタッフがいなくて、すごーく不安でした。行き帰りのバスガイドさんが、朝から朝食を食べ歌を歌って、最後は挨拶もしずに先に降りて帰りました。

We participated as a couple. Since check-in was at the beach in front of the hotel, there wasn't a check-in counter; instead, there was a staff member under a parasol, which mixed in with other beachgoers and was a bit confusing (laughs). I thought this was quite typical of being overseas. We moved to a boat in front of the Halekulani Hotel to board.
Everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The crew spoke only in English, and since I had some snorkeling experience, I managed to keep up. The snorkeling lasted quite a while, about an hour. There was an explanation in English on how to put on the gear, and we were given life jackets and goggles (no fins, but that was fine). Equipped with the snorkeling set, we headed into the sea!! When I swam along with the crew, there were sea turtles!!! I was thrilled to encounter four of them! The seawater was a bit murky, so it was hard to see the fish, but I still had a great time. After that, we returned to the boat for sailing. It was an exhilarating moment with the large sail unfurled, creating a sense of speed. You can buy water and beer on the boat, so no need to worry about drinks! (Cash is better.) There was also a restroom on board. Since sailing can be quite bumpy for a long time, those prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication. It was a great activity to enjoy the waters of Waikiki in a short amount of time!!
夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルの前のビーチでチェックインという事だったので、チェックインカウンター的なものはなく、パラソルの下に担当のお姉さんが居て他の海水浴客のパラソルと混ざり困惑(笑)これも海外っぽいなぁなんて思いました。
ハレクラニホテルの前にある船に移動して乗船。
私達以外は全員英語圏の方だった。
船員も終始英語で、スノーケル経験者だったのでなんとかついていけたって感じ。
スノーケルは長めで、1時間くらい。英語での装着の説明もあり、ライフジャケットと水中メガネを渡されます。(フィンは無し。無くても大丈夫でした。)
スノーケルセットを装備していざ、海へ!!
船員の人に泳いでついて行くと…そこには海ガメが!!!その後も4匹も出会えて感動でした!少し海水が濁っていたので魚は見えにくかったですが、楽しめました。その後、船に戻ってセイリング。大きな帆を広げてスピード感とスリリングなひと時でした。お水やビールなども船上で買えるので飲み物の心配なし!(現金の方が良い)トイレも船内にありました。セイリングは割と長い時間揺れるので船酔いする人は酔い止めが必要です。
ワイキキの海を短時間で楽しめる良いアクテビティでした!!
