I participated with my elementary and high school sons as a family. Shortly after boarding the boat, we were told that dolphins were nearby. We tried twice and were able to see many dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin in the pod, which was adorable. Later, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling where we saw sea turtles and various fish, and the kids were very excited. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was very delicious. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.
小学生と高校生の息子達を連れて家族で参加しました。船に乗って間も無くイルカが近くにいるとの事。2回トライしてたくさんのイルカを見る事が出来ました。群れの中に赤ちゃんイルカもいて可愛いかったです。その後場所を変えてのシュノーケルではウミガメやお魚たちも見られたし、子供達も大興奮でした。船の上で食べたチーズバーガーがとても美味しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。

The dolphins swirled around us. We also got to see the baby dolphins spinning on the surface, and the turtles were leisurely swimming, which was very enjoyable. The staff's enthusiasm and energy were evident, making it a great tour. It's doable with toddlers if you put in the effort, but I left my 5-year-old with my wife and came alone. I highly recommend it.

The service was nice, very comfortable boat ride and well organized team. we watched the sharks for 20 minutes and it was like 20 minutes exploring the other world, the world of ocean and beautiful ocean creatures - sharks. so excited, so much fun. it definitely worth the money we spent. thank you the for some complementary souvenirs, my granddaughter liked the stickers )) we would recommend this activity and experience for families with children, and others. thank you, Valeriy, Russia.

I was initially hesitant to join this tour because I can't swim at all and I'm nearsighted, so I can't see anything without my glasses. However, I participated at the request of my companion. When I asked in advance if it would be okay, I received a response from a Japanese guide named Takako, who assured me that floatation devices and nearsighted snorkeling gear would be provided, so it would be fine. On the day of the tour, she kindly instructed us on how to use the floatation devices on the water, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling somehow. Although we only snorkeled at Molokini due to high waves that day and didn't see many fish or turtles, the beautiful, clear blue sea was stunning. Thank you very much.
私は全く泳げない上に、近視でメガネなしでは何も見えないので、このツアーの参加に前向きではありませんでしたが、連れの希望で参加しました。事前に大丈夫か聞いたところ、タカコさんという日本人ガイドの方が、浮き具や近視のスノーケルが用意されているので大丈夫とご返答いただき、当日も、浮き具の使い方などを海上で丁寧に指導していただき、何とかスノーケリングを楽しむことができました。当日は波が高いとのことでモロキニ一箇所だけのスノーケリングでしたが、魚や亀などはあまり見れませんでしたが、美しい、透明度の高い青い海でした。ありがとうございました。

This time, my spouse and I participated in the dolphin encounter. We didn't get bored before the participation time as we watched the show and played in a small area with many birds. It was reassuring that there was someone who explained the precautions in Japanese. I felt that the time we spent touching the dolphins was short for the price, but I understand that this was decided by the Sea Life Park based on the dolphins' condition, so it can't be helped. The content of the tour was very good! I was satisfied to be able to do something that is not easily available in Japan.
今回は夫婦でドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。参加時間までショーをみたり鳥がたくさんいる小屋に入って遊んだり退屈しなかったです。日本語で注意点を説明してくれる人もいて安心しました。料金の割にはイルカと触れる時間が短いと感じましたがそこはイルカの状態に合わせシーライフパークの方が決めたことなので仕方ないと思います。ツアーの内容はとても良かったです!日本ではなかなかできないことをできて満足です

It took about 30 minutes by rubber boat to reach the point. Two manta rays gracefully appeared. They came very close and danced around, which was a bit surprising. This manta ray tour seemed to be a side tour organized by a main operator. The day before the tour, I received a request to change to a later time because the original tour was canceled for boat inspection and repairs. Initially, I considered canceling my participation in the tour, but it went ahead as scheduled. Upon reflection, I think it wasn't due to the boat inspection and repairs, but rather that they hadn't reached the minimum number of participants. Additionally, even after the meeting time had passed, the tour operator did not arrive, making it feel like a disorganized company.
ゴムボートで片道約30分でポイントに到着。2枚のマンタが優雅に現れてくれました。もうすれすれまで来て舞ってくれてちょっとびびりました。このマンタのツアーも元締めみたいのがいてそのおこぼれツアーのようでした。ツアーの前日に、船の点検修理のためその時間のがキャンセルになり遅い時間のに変更依頼を受けました。当初は、ツアー参加のキャンセルを考えましたが、ツアーは予定どおりに催行されました。よくよく考えると、船の点検修理のためではなく、最少催行人数に達していなかったのだと思いました。また集合時間を過ぎても催行社は来ず、でたらめな会社のように感じました。

I made a reservation in advance in Japan to stay at the Kahala Hotel. I am overwhelmed with joy that my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins has come true. It was a genuine interaction, not just the typical experience of touching dolphins that you often find in Japan. We participated as a couple, but it seemed that families in the same group were also enjoying themselves.
If I had to mention a downside, I was a bit concerned about the water's cleanliness. It might be due to the dolphins' waste, which is understandable... Since it's not a fish tank, it might be difficult to purify the lagoon. Also, I feel that the price is a bit too high.
I definitely recommend it to anyone staying at the Kahala.

We participated as a family!
We decided on the day whether to rent wetsuits. (I think it was around $10 for the kids...)
I was told that there might be jellyfish and it could get cold, so we rented wetsuits only for the kids.
Most of the other customers rented wetsuits as well.
In August, I, as an adult, was fine with just a swimsuit and was okay being bare-chested.
As soon as we spotted dolphins in the wild, we jumped off the boat one by one!
However...
During our last jump, all we could see underwater were the feet and bubbles of the participants who jumped in before us.
Those who jumped in earlier seemed to see something in the water, but...
With limited time, we only had two chances to see the dolphins.
Both times, we caught a glimpse of the dolphins from the boat, but we couldn't see them at all underwater.
The staff cheerfully said something like, "We got to be with the dolphins today!"
But we couldn't see them underwater.
The image of swimming with dolphins is only partially true, so don't get your hopes up.
However, we were excited to see sea turtles up close in the water.
For those whose main goal is to see dolphins, since we are going to see wild dolphins, we can't guarantee you'll see them underwater, but the sea is beautiful, so it's fun!

My stay at the Kahala Hotel was an early start with a 5 AM pickup, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful memory. The guide, Takao, provided a very clear and persuasive tour, which added a great "flavor" to the experience. As a snorkeling beginner in my fifties, I initially struggled to keep up with everyone in search of dolphins, but the support from the staff was very reassuring. Eventually, I got the hang of it and was able to meet the dolphins and sea turtles, which felt amazing. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this tour.

I participated with a friend. It took about 40 minutes from the meeting point to the boat dock. Upon arrival, we watched an explanation DVD (in Japanese) and boarded the boat. There was a female staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American and spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
The sea was quite rough with strong winds, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. There were about 30 participants, and although the waiting time was long, I didn't mind too much as I could see turtles swimming and enjoy the scenery. We waited while eating snacks that were like small bags of potato chips and drinking water.
It was late August, but it felt quite cold. Especially after diving, everyone was shivering, so I think it would be good to have something to wrap around you or a towel for your lower body. Some people brought waterproof cases for their smartphones to dive with, but the staff also took photos and videos. The photos cost $15 per person, and purchasing the videos costs a bit more, but the photos were sent to the email address I provided later. I was satisfied with how they turned out.
When entering and exiting the helmet part, you have to submerge your head, so it might be scary for those who are not comfortable putting their face in the water. I was wearing contact lenses, so I closed my eyes while going in and out. The glass part is telescopic, so I was told to take off my glasses, and my friend did so.
The time spent underwater flew by, but the instructor was with us one-on-one, so I was able to enjoy the underwater walk with peace of mind!
友達と二人で参加しました。
集合場所から船乗り場までは、40分くらいかかりました。到着すると、説明のDVD(日本語)を見て、船に乗り込みました。日系4世という日本語が分かる女性スタッフさんがいらっしゃったので、安心でした。
海上は風が強くて、かなりうねりがありますので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。
30人くらい参加者がいて、待ち時間が長かったですが、泳いでいる亀の姿が見えたり、景色を楽しんだりしていたので、それほど気になりませんでした。小さな袋に入ったポテチのようなお菓子を食べながら、お水を飲みながら待ちました。
8月の後半でしたが、かなり寒く感じました。特に潜った後はみなさんガタガタ震えていたので、羽織るものや下半身に巻くタオルなどがあった方がよいかと思います。
防水ケースにスマホを入れて潜る方もいらっしゃいましたが、スタッフの方が写真も動画も撮ってくれます。写真は一人15ドル、動画も購入するともう少しかかりますが、後日申告したメールアドレスに写真が送られてきました。写りもよかったので満足しています。
ヘルメット?の部分に入る時と出る時は、頭まで潜らないとダメなので、顔をつけるのが苦手な方は怖いかもしれません。私はコンタクトをしていたので、目をつぶって出入りしました。ガラスの部分が望遠になっているので、メガネは外してくださいと言われ友達はメガネを外していました。
海中にいる時間はあっという間でしたが、インストラクターさんが一対一でついてくださるので、安心して水中散歩を楽しめました!

While I was watching from inside the cage and waiting on the boat while other groups were having their turn, the boat was rocking a lot, and I felt like I might get seasick. There were a few people who actually got sick.
めちゃ、サメがいた〜。すご〜い経験ができて大満足!
ゲージの中で、見ている間と、船の上で、他のグループが体験している間待っている間が、とても船が揺れて酔いそうだった。酔ってる人が数人いた。
素晴らしいレビューをありがとう!
Mahalo for the awesome review!

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.
11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。

We had such an amazing time with this tour! The crew were awesome and so much fun.. when I got sea sick they really looked after me as well!
After a disappointing tour where we didn't see much we decided to book this one and we were not disappointed! Turtles everywhere and the fish swim so close. I would recommend it to everyone :)

I was wondering what Sea Bob was like, and I was moved when I entered the sea. Fish the size of my palm gathered, attracted by the bread, and the sight was beautiful. After the Sea Bob experience, I was able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling. I experienced seven optional tours, but this was the most popular with my family.
シーbobどんなものかと思ってましたが、海に入り感動。
パン の餌に誘われて、手のひら大の魚が集まり、その光景が綺麗でした。
シーbob体験後のシュノーケリングは浮上した海亀を間近で見ることが出来ました。
7つのオプショナルツアーを体験しましたが、家族1番人気でした。

There are many wild dolphins closely, that's really amazing. However, if there is less people on the cruis that would be better. Overall, it is nice activity.

It felt like a manta ray! However, my wife was very anxious, saying, "Entering the night sea and having a manta ray approach with its mouth wide open..." After talking with her about various things, she gathered her courage and finally participated!
Once we actually joined, her impression changed completely, and she was overjoyed, saying, "The manta ray is so cute, I'm so glad!" Our guide, Tori-chan, was wonderful! She was so energetic and taught us various things about manta rays, including their ecology, habits, and names, in a storytelling format. Most importantly, she explained, "Manta rays are very friendly and cute!" which eased our preconceived notions. The manta rays really came close to us repeatedly. My wife even got touched by one coming from the other side—how lucky! Thank you, Tori-chan! I definitely want to participate again.
マンタみたい~でも奥様は「夜の海に入るなんて~口を広げマンタが近づいてくるなんて~」ととても不安!そんな奥様といろいろ話して勇気を奮起いただき遂に参加しました‼
実際に参加してみたら、がらりと印象が変って「マンタとても可愛くってよかった~ね!」と大喜びでした。ガイドのトリちゃんが素晴らしかった!まず元気がもらえるし、紙芝居仕立てでマンタのこと生態・習性や名前がついているとかいろいろ教えてくれます。なんといっても「マンタはとても人懐こくってかわいいよ~!」って説明してくれて先入観ができて安心。マンタはホントにごく目の前をぐる~と何度も何度も寄ってきます。奥様には向こうから触ってきたって~うらやましい。トリちゃんありがと~!またぜひ参加したいです。
Aloha!! S&J from Shonan,
Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. When you visit Oahu again, we also have tours for dolphin middle school and university, so we look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. It’s also a wonderful memory to have encountered baby dolphins during this baby boom season! When you come to the Big Island again, we also have tours like Manta University, so we look forward to your next visit.
