Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. The only silver lining was being able to see Honolulu from the sea, but it was truly disappointing. Since it was just before my return home, I really wanted to make it meaningful...
残念ながらどのクジラにも会えませんでした。海からホノルルを見ることができたことだけが幸いですが、本当に残念でした。帰国する直前だったのでぜひ有意義にしたかったのですが…。

I participated in the morning class on March 27. This time, I had a hard time encountering dolphins, and spent more than the first 30 minutes on the boat, but ultimately, I met a pod of dolphins on the second dive.
It seems that all the passengers were quite energetic, as the instructor let us dive five times. I was told that this is quite rare, so on average, we might get to dive about three times?
After getting tired from the fourth dive, I went up to the second floor of the boat to take a break, and this time, a lot of dolphins gathered around the boat! Moreover, I spotted a mother dolphin swimming together with her baby right in front of the moving boat, and I was squealing with excitement with a stranger next to me (laughs). The second floor of the boat is not to be underestimated!
During this tour, the instructor made every effort to find dolphins and bring the boat close to them so that we could meet the dolphins. That enthusiasm was really great.
On that day, the waves were quite high, and I saw some people getting seasick, so it's better not to underestimate it. I think those who are prone to seasickness should skip breakfast. My partner had breakfast and ended up getting seasick, which was a disaster... (bitter laugh)
I have a strong vestibular system, so I was able to enjoy this tour to the fullest! Thank you for the wonderful tour! Next time, I hope to see dolphins even closer!
3/27の午前授業に参加しました。
今回はなかなかイルカに出会えず、初めの30分以上は船の上で過ごしましたが、結果的に2回目の潜りでイルカの群れに出会えました。
今回、乗客がみんな元気なほうだったのか、インストラクターの人が5回も海に潜らせてくれました。こんなこと、めったにないと言われたので、平均的には3回くらい潜らせてもらえるのかな?
4回目の潜りで疲れて、船の2階に上がって休憩していると、今度は船の周りにイルカがたくさん寄ってきました!しかも走行している船の真ん前をイルカの親子が一緒に泳いでいるのを見つけて、見知らぬ隣のおばちゃんとキャーキャー騒いでいました(笑)船の2階も舐めたもんじゃないです!
このツアーでは、インストラクターさんがイルカを見つけては船で近寄って、ツアーに参加している私たちをイルカに会わせようと必死に努力してくれました。そこが熱血的で良かったなぁ。
この日、波がかなり高く、船酔いするひとも見かけたので、舐めてかからないほうがいいです。酔いやすいひとは朝ごはんも食べないほうがいいと思います。パートナーが朝ごはんを食べて、船酔いして惨事になってしまったので、、苦笑
私は三半規管が強いので、このツアーを思いっきり楽しめました!!素敵なツアーをありがとう!
今度はもっともっと近くでイルカが見れることを祈って、参加します!

We were invited by our children to a trip to Hawaii to celebrate my 60th birthday.
Swimming with wild dolphins was amazing! We also encountered sea turtles.
(In Okinawa snorkeling, my sea turtle encounter rate is about 30%.)
The staff was efficient and the photographer was cheerful.

It was a tour that set off with great enthusiasm at 8 AM, but unfortunately, we were unable to encounter any whales. The cruiser stayed out on the water until the very end, perhaps out of determination. I had no complaints about the tour itself. However, due to the strong winds that day, the cruiser rocked quite a bit, and one of my family members got seasick.
Still, considering that we got to see the cobalt blue sea and view Honolulu from the ocean, I think it’s an experience worth having at least once.
朝の8時から意気込んで出発したツアーでしたが、とても残念なことにクジラに遭遇できませんでした。クルーザーも最後まで粘ってくれたのか、時間ギリギリまで海上にいてくれました。ツアー自体に不満はありませんでした。当日は風が強かったせいか、クルーザーが大きく揺れて家族の一人が船酔いをしてしまいました。
でもコバルトブルーの海が見れたこと、ホノルルを海から見れたことを考えると一度は体験をしておくべきかなと思いました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are truly sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. We would be delighted if you could take another chance to encounter the spectacular jumps of the whales on your next visit. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you again.

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to do the sharks cage with some friends. Honestly, I was a little concerned about how the sharks are attracted, and if we were putting them in any distress by trying to see them in their natural habitat. Shortly after boarding the boat, my concern was put to rest-the sharks are not harmed in any way!.. Although it was late in the morning, and a swell was filling in, me and a couple friends all had a blast, gripping the bars of the cage, riding the swells as they rolled through and watched 10-12 sharks circle around us with such grace and ease. They were so close, we could see the pupil of their eyes!! Such an amazing experience, reminding me of my tiny existence on land.

This was such a neat experience that I'll never forget. We were so close to the sharks, which was somewhat scary, but mostly serene watching them swim by, really not caring about us humans in a cage. They come up to the sound of the boat because the area is usually filled with crabbers and they've become accustomed to eating the scraps. It was so neat being surrounded by these beautiful creatures and close enough to see the small barnacles attached to their bodies.
We did the 11am tour, which resulted in quite rocky waters (hence it being the latest option). The earlier times are much calmer waters and generally better visibility. The later time is not ideal for anyone sensitive to motion sickness, or nervous about the experience as it enhanced the intensity getting in and out of the cage. While in the water, we all had to hold on tightly to avoid hitting and kicking one another.
All that said, it was way worth it. Again, the earlier times and much calmer and even more enjoyable - highly recommend the tour, the earlier the better!

This time, my friends and I participated in a morning tour. Due to our hotel arrangements, a bus from the prestigious Dolphin University picked us up at 6:05 AM. Since the pickup time was early, I was a bit sleepy. The guide was Japanese, and during the bus ride, they provided us with detailed information about safety precautions and snorkeling equipment.
After an hour of travel, we arrived at Board Harbor around 7:30 AM. We had time for a restroom break and to change clothes before departure. This time was very helpful.
After that, the tour I had been looking forward to for a long time, to see wild dolphins up close, began. The boat we boarded was entirely blue and felt relatively new.
The veteran captain and several local supporters searched for dolphins, but unfortunately, we were unable to find any. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or if the season wasn't right, but we couldn't see the dolphins we had been excited about.
However, we were able to experience snorkeling and other marine sports, and the supporters brought humor, making it an enjoyable tour.

1時間の移動で、7時半ごろにボードハーバに着きました。出発前に、トイレ休憩と着替えの時間はありました。この時間を用意していただいて、大変助かりました。
その後、ずっとまえから楽しみにしていた野生のイルカを間近で見るツアーが始まりました。私たちは乗った船が全体ブルーで、比較的に新しいものだと感じます。
ベテラン船長さんと何人かの現地のサポーターたちはずっと、イルカを探しましたが、残念ながら、イルカを見つけることができませんでした。運が悪かったのか、季節が良くなかったのかがわかりませんが、楽しみにしていたイルカを見ることができませんでした。

This is my fourth time, and I am impressed that each time the experience has been upgraded.
Swimming with the dolphins feels like an interaction, but with Dolphin & You, you swim freely in the vast ocean alongside dolphins that are swimming leisurely in groups, and I felt as if I received a mysterious power from them.
My 5-year-old grandchild was crying but was happy to say, "I saw a dolphin."
Also, I was delighted to reunite with Kaia, a staff member I met nine years ago. Thank you, Kaia.
今回で4回目。毎回内容がアップグレードしてて感動しています。
飼育されているイルカと一緒に泳ぐのは「ふれあい」のような感じですが、ドルフィン&Youは、群れてゆったりと自由に泳いでるイルカと一緒に大海原で泳ぎ、イルカから不思議なパワーがもらえた気持ちになります。
5歳の孫も泣きながらですが「イルカが見えた」と喜んでくれました。

We participated in this for our honeymoon. My husband speaks English, but I thought it would be reassuring to have a Japanese guide, so we signed up. Our guide, Takako, was a wonderful person who helped us a lot, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. The sea was very beautiful, and we saw many fish. We were very satisfied to see three sea turtles up close, so much so that we felt like we were too close and had to back away from them. There was a slide from the boat into the sea, which was surprisingly fun, and I ended up going down it multiple times like a child! There was also a shower on board, and since the weather was nice, it wasn't cold at all. We had a delicious hamburger for lunch, and at the end, they served alcohol, which I thought was a great deal for the price.

主人は英語が出来るのですが、日本人のガイドさんがいると安心と思い申し込みました。

Understanding the boats cannot come closer than 100 yards, outs seemed to stay 200-300 yards away. Unless you have a telephoto lens, just use your eyes and retain the memory because any other camera, including phones and GoPros, will just show the whales as a small blip.

My parents in their 70s participated (I had to act separately because I have children). The weather was nice, and it seems they had a wonderful cruise. They were able to see plenty of whales and got a close view of Diamond Head.
Since it's an early morning tour, it can be tough, but you can make good use of the afternoon, so I recommend the morning tour. Even my parents, who are in their 70s and have no English skills at all, enjoyed participating. If you're considering optional tours for a three-generation trip, definitely think about this tour. It will surely create wonderful memories.

I participated in a dolphin tour with my mother. I thought Dolphin Junior High would be a hard tour with boats that make you seasick, like banana boats, but it was actually a double-decker ship. I didn't get seasick, and we got to meet Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. The weather was great that day, and we received word right after departure that Dolphin Sensei was nearby. We quickly spotted them swimming around. The group of Dolphin Sensei was so cute, and I was really happy to see so many sea creatures. There were about five staff members, including a funny photographer. The staff were friendly, and I'm glad I participated in this tour. My mother had trouble using the snorkel and said she couldn't breathe in the water, so I think it would be reassuring for first-time snorkelers to receive detailed instructions before entering the ocean. Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to participate in Dolphin University as well! The waters of Hawaii were truly beautiful.
母と一緒にイルカ中学のツアーに参加しました。イルカ中学はハードだとかバナナボートみたいな船酔いするボートで行くのだと思っていましたが、ボートではなく二階建ての船でした。船酔いもすることなく、イルカ先生、ウミガメ教授にも会えて、その日は天気も良く、出航からすぐにイルカ先生たちがいると連絡があり、あっちこっちと泳いでいるとすぐに会えました。初めてのイルカ先生の群、とっても可愛くて海の生き物にたくさん会えてよかったです。スタッフは5人ぐらいいて、一人カメラマンのおもしろい人もいました。スタッフのみなさんも気さくな方たちで、このツアーに参加してよかったです。母は、シュノーケルの使い方がわからず、海で息ができないと言っていたので、初めてシュノーケルをする人には、そういう細かいところまで教えてもらった方が安心して海に入れると思いました。また、ハワイに行った時は、次はイルカ大学にも参加してみたいです!!ハワイの海は本当に綺麗でした。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We will work together with our staff to provide clearer and more thorough explanations regarding snorkeling. Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we look forward to your next visit! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ツアーをお楽しみいただけたようで幸いです。 シュノーケルに関する説明は、もっと丁寧にわかりやすく出来るようスタッフ共々精進してまいります。 貴重なご意見をありがとうございました、またのお越しをお待ちしております! MAHALO!!

I would highly recommend this tour. It was very fun, staff were all amazing and we got amazing photos and views of Honolulu. Great short trip (a few hours). We got to see a school of dolphins swimming along the boat which was also amazing.

The seats you are guided to when you board the ship are just for the initial explanation, so don't worry if your seat doesn't have a view of the sea. After the explanation, you can freely go out to the deck. Since the wind can be cold, I recommend bringing something to wear. I was able to see the whales jumping clearly. I also saw swimming sea turtles. Everything was explained in English.
船に乗り込んだときに案内される席は、
最初の説明を受けるだけの席なので
海が見えない席でも安心してください。
説明終了後に自由にデッキに出られます。
風が冷たいので羽織るものを持参されると良いと思います。
くじらのジャンプをしっかり見ることができました。
泳いでいるウミガメも見れました。
すべて英語の説明でした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

It was great to see the humpback whales swimming right in front of us multiple times and to witness them spouting water. My children and my mother-in-law were also delighted.
Since it was a live event, I was worried about various risks such as weather and the possibility of not seeing the animals, but everything turned out perfectly. Additionally, making leis at the craft event, where the whole family created the same lei to take home, became a wonderful memory.
Next time, I would like to come with my own parents.
ザトウクジラの泳ぐ姿が何度も目の前で見られたり、潮を吹くのを見れ、子供も帯同した義母も喜んでもらえ、よかったです。
ナマモノなイベントだけに、天候リスク、動物が出てこないリスクなどをいろいろと心配しながらも、すべてがパーフェクトにでき、かつ民芸イベントでのレイ作りは、家族みんなで同じレイを作り、持って帰れ、良い思い出になりました。
次回は、自分の両親と来たいな、と思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased that the weather was favorable and that you were able to observe whales. Please do come and visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

This time, it was my second enrollment, following two years ago. Last time I participated in Dolphin Middle School, and this time it was Dolphin University. After a long time, seeing the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and reuniting with Teacher Dolphin... I participated with great expectations, and just like last time, it was truly moving.
The blue sea and blue sky, and of course, Teacher Dolphin as always. It was really healing, made me happy, and was a wonderful time. The sensation of dolphins swimming right below me while I was swimming is a fantastic experience that always excites me when I think about it. I definitely want to experience that emotion again! Thank you to all the crew members who always welcome us with wonderful smiles! I will come to see you again! Mahalo!
今回は、2年前に引き続き2度目の入学でした。前回は【イルカ中学】そして今回は【イルカ大学】への参加でした。久しぶりのハワイの景色、そしてイルカ先生との再会・・・。期待に胸を膨らませての参加でしたが、前回同様【感動】の一言でした。
青い海と青い空、そして相変わらずのイルカ先生。本当に癒され、幸せになり素敵な時間でした。自分が泳いでいる真下をイルカが泳いでいくあの感覚は、思い出してもいつも興奮してしまうような素敵な経験です。ぜひまた、あの感動を味わいたいです!いつも素敵な笑顔で迎えてくださるクルーのみなさん!ありがとうございます!!また、逢いに行きます!mahalo!
ALOHA! Nakagawa-san,
Thank you for participating for the second time! Meeting with Dolphin Sensei is an experience that never gets old! It's the best experience, isn't it? We look forward to welcoming you for your third enrollment when you visit Hawaii again!
