At the very last moment, a whale appeared.
I wondered if it would show up again.
The moment I tried to go inside the boat,

it spouted!
It appeared.
Thank you, whale.

I couldn't take a photo of the whale.

I was able to see the jump! ジャンプが見れました❇

Reviewed by: ダンテ

I was worried about whether I would see any whales on my long-awaited whale watching tour, but I was able to meet many whales.

At first, they were far away, and I couldn't see them up close, so I thought maybe that was all there was. Just as I started to relax and have lunch, I was able to see a whale jumping through the glass! It was from the side, so it was beautifully visible, and everyone on board applauded enthusiastically. So, I realized that even when the sea is calm, we should never let our guard down!

I also participated with my 3-year-old child, and there were plenty of activities, plus meals with rice and noodles that my child enjoyed. There were both paid and free drinks, which was great!

Even after leaving the whales, the scenery, the color of the sea, and the color of the sky were all wonderful, making it a very satisfying tour!

I definitely plan to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

念願のホエールウォッチングで、見れるか心配だったけど、沢山のクジラたちに会えました。

始めは遠くにいてなかなか近くで見れなかったので、もうこのくらいなのかなぁと油断してランチを始めたら、ガラス越しにジャンプするクジラを見ることが出来ました！！それも、横からだったのでキレイに見れて参加者全員拍手喝采でした❇
なので、海面が穏やかでも油断大敵だなと思います！

また、3歳の子どもと参加しましたが、アクティビティも沢山あったし、食事もライスも麺もあったので食べてくれましたし、飲み物も有料や無料があってどちらも良かったです！

そして、クジラたちたちと離れても景色も海の色も空の色も素晴らしいので大満足なツアーでした！

また、ハワイに行くときは必ず参加しようと思います！

シーライフパーク・ハワイ　イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン　海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Regarding participation with small children. 小さいお子さんとの参加について

Reviewed by: 苦笑いの父親のほう

We participated as a couple with our 3-year-old child. I thought it was a very good program, and here are my comments based on that impression.

It's safer to make a reservation for dates that are expected to be crowded, but the cancellation policy states, "100% of the total reservation amount after 00:00 local time two business days before the participation date." Considering that I had to cancel at the last minute due to my period and ended up just watching from the poolside, I think it would have been better to make the reservation right before going to the facility. Also, looking at the availability board on the day, not all sessions are fully booked, so if you plan to spend the whole day at the facility, it might be a good idea to make a reservation at the experience corner in the morning.

Additionally, while it is more expensive compared to typical dolphin interaction experiences in Japan, one of the attractions of this program is that it allows participation at a young age. However, when we actually participated, my 3-year-old daughter seemed terrified of the large dolphin, which approached her with its mouth wide open, making cute sounds while coming closer. She clung to her father, crying out "Scary! Scary!" with tears streaming down her face. As a result, she ended up leaving early, and her father awkwardly participated alone in a team of mostly women, making for a surreal dolphin experience. I feel sorry that her screams might have disturbed the other participants. It might be difficult for my child to enjoy this experience until she is around 5 years old. I noticed other children of a similar age from Western countries in other teams were also crying quite a bit. Parents of children in the same age group should take this into consideration.

You can purchase DVDs and photos, but as mentioned earlier, the only photos available were of the father awkwardly kissing the dolphin with a wry smile, and since you can't preview the DVD (even if you could, it would just be footage of screaming), I decided not to buy it.

Regarding photography, participants have to change and put their belongings in lockers, and you are required to remove not only cameras but also glasses and wedding rings in the pool area, so you can't take any photos or videos. Even wearable cameras like GoPros are completely prohibited. However, if you don't use a locker and can bring your bag to the pool, you can leave everything on the waiting bench in front of the pool. The waiting bench is accessible only to participants, so it is quite safe, and you can take photos right up until you enter the pool. During the experience, it's natural for the photographer to stay far away for the sake of the dolphins, so I think having one person participate as a spectator and take photos from the bench with a zoom lens would be a better approach, considering the risks involved. I felt that the pricing for spectators might have been set with such considerations in mind after participating.

<Lessons Learned>
- Overcome fear of large animals
- Manage health schedules
- It's better to scout the location before making a reservation.

夫婦と３歳の子どもでの参加でした。大変良いプログラムだと思いました、という感想ありきでの以下のコメントです。
混雑が予想される日程は予約をしたほうが安心なのですが、キャンセルポリシーに「参加日の2営業日前の現地時間00:00以降、予約総額の100%」とありましたので、直前の生理でキャンセルもせずプールサイドで見学になったことを考えると、施設へ行く直前に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。また、当日の空き状況ボードを見るとすべての回が予約で埋まるわけではないので、１日この施設で遊ぶつもりなら朝から体験コーナーの受付で予約するのもアリかなと思います。
それと、日本での一般的なイルカふれ合い体験に比べ高額ですが、低年齢での参加が可能なのがこのプログラムの魅力のひとつ。実際に参加してみると３歳の娘に実物の大きなイルカは恐怖でしかないようで、大きく口を開け頭を出してキュッキュと可愛い声で鳴きながら近づいてくるイルカの姿に鼻水を流しながら父親に抱きついてコワイ！コワイ！と絶叫しておりました。結果、娘も途中離脱し、大半を父親ひとり挙動不審になりながら女性ばかりのチームに参加するシュールなイルカ体験となりました。絶叫がうるさく、チームの参加者に不快な思いをさせてしまったと恐縮しています。うちの子は５歳くらいにならないと楽しい参加は厳しいかもしれません。他チームで同年齢くらいの欧米のお子さんもだいぶ泣き叫んでおりました。同年代の親御さんはご配慮くださいませ。
DVDと写真を買えますが、先の通り、苦笑いでイルカとキスをする父親の写真だけが並んでおり、DVDもプレビューできないので（プレビューできたにしてもどうせ絶叫映像なので）購入しませんでした。
撮影について、体験参加者は着替えてロッカーに荷物を入れてしまい、プール内はカメラはおろかメガネや結婚指輪すら外させられますので写真も動画も撮れません。ウェアラブルなGoProなんかも完全にNGです。ロッカーを使わずバッグを持ってプールへ移動でき、プール前の待機ベンチにすべて置いておけます。待機ベンチは参加者しか入れないので安全性は高い上、プールに入る直前まで写真を撮ったりできます。体験中はイルカのためを思うと撮影者は遠くに離れていて当然ですので、ひとりは見学者として参加して、ベンチからズームレンズで撮影するスタイルが今回のようなリスクも踏まえパフォーマンスが良いと思います。そもそもそういった想定の見学者価格設定なのかなと参加してみてから感じた次第です。
＜今回の教訓＞
・大きな生き物への恐怖を払拭しておく
・体調のスケジュール管理
・無理に予約せず下見して参加が良い

I want to see more! もっと見たい！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The day before our participation, it was unusually rainy all day in Hawaii. Even though I woke up early on the day of the event, it was still raining and dark, and I found myself slightly regretting signing up as I headed to the meeting point at 6 AM.

I thought I would sleep in the car on the way, but our guide, Chinatsu, mentioned that while some might want to sleep, we would need to prepare to jump into the ocean as soon as we arrived, so she would keep us awake with conversation until we got there! I realized that it would indeed be dangerous to jump into the ocean half-asleep, so I stayed awake.

Once we set sail, the boat rocked quite a bit, but thanks to the motion sickness medication we took, we managed to avoid feeling nauseous throughout the trip.

After putting on our wetsuits and snorkeling gear, we got ready to jump in at any moment, and the boat started searching for dolphins. When the male guide spotted them, we jumped into the water like sea monkeys. I thought it might be impossible to jump in suddenly, but once I did it once, I quickly got used to it. There were also children and elderly people jumping in.

And then! Dolphins! We saw about 20 of them in a pod, though not a huge group. I was deeply moved when I heard their squeaking sounds underwater. After returning to the boat once, we dove in again and were able to see dolphins two more times.

Still buzzing with excitement, we moved to the snorkeling point where we saw sea turtles and fish. After a while, many people returned to the boat, and I thought it was over, but we were told we could still stay in the water, so I happily snorkeled and even tried stand-up paddleboarding. There were only a few boards, so we had to take turns, and I regrettably couldn't stand up in the short time we had. We enjoyed snorkeling until the very last moment.

When we returned to the boat, the captain served homemade hamburgers, snacks, and juice, which we devoured since we were starving. However, nearly half of the group felt groggy and took their food to go.

Many people spent the latter part of the tour observing from the boat, so it felt like a bit of physical stamina was required for the tour. However, even someone like me, who doesn't exercise at all in Japan, was able to enjoy it, so I think it's within a manageable range for anyone.

This time, the atmosphere created by our guide Chinatsu and my 35 classmates was great, and I had a lot of fun. But I still have an insatiable desire to see even more dolphins! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate again!

参加前日はハワイでは珍しく一日中雨模様。当日もがんばって早起きしたのに雨だし暗いし、申し込んだことを少し後悔しながら6時に集合場所へ向かいました。

行きの車で寝よう。なんて思っていましたがガイドのチナツさんが寝たい方もいると思うけど、着いたらすぐ海へ入る準備をするから、なるべく目を覚ましてもらえるように着くまで話しますよ！と言われ、たしかに寝ぼけたまま海へ入るのは危険だな～と思い寝ずに行きました。

出港すると、けっこう激しく揺れましたが、私たちは酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、最後まで酔わずに過ごせました。

ウエットスーツを着てシュノーケルの道具を身につけ、いつでも飛び込める準備をしたら、イルカを探して船は走り回ります。そしてガイドの男性がみつけてくれると、海猿ばりにどんどん海に飛び込みます。急に飛び込むなんてムリかも...と思っていましたが一度やってしまうとすぐに慣れました。お子さんや年配の方も飛び込んでいました。

すると！イルカ！いました！大群という程ではなかったですが、群れで20頭くらい見られました。そしてイルカのキューキューという鳴き声が水中で聞こえ、とても感動しました。その後一度船に戻り、再びダイブし2回イルカを見ることができました。

興奮冷めやらぬまま、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動し今度は海ガメや魚を見ました。少ししたら、多くの方が船に戻っていたので、もう終わりなのか...と思ったら、まだ海にいて大丈夫ですよ～と言われ、ウキウキでシュノーケリングしたり、スタンドアップパドルにも挑戦しました。板の数が少ないので交代制で、短い時間では立つことはできず悔しいまま終わりました。その後もギリギリまでシュノーケリングを満喫しました。

船に戻ると船長お手製のハンバーガーや、スナック、ジュースが配られ腹ペコの私たちは完食しました。ですが半分近い方がグロッキーで、食べ物はお持ち帰りされていました。


多くの方が後半は船から見学していたので、ツアーの内容的に少し体力がいるかなという感じがします。ですが日本で全く運動していない私でも充分楽しめたので、気負わず参加できる範囲ではないでしょうか...。

今回はガイドのチナツさんや、35名のクラスメイトの皆さんの雰囲気がよく、とても楽しむことができました。でも、もっともっと多くのイルカを見たい！という欲が帰国した今でも収まりません。次にハワイに行く機会があればまた必ず参加します！

We participated as a family of four. It was greatly appreciated that the children's fees were free. We didn't know if we would see whales until we boarded, but we joined with the expectation that if we didn't see any, we could still enjoy cruising on the Star of Honolulu! Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see whales three times. While we couldn't see the whales' faces, we were able to see their spouts and impressive tails, which left both the kids and adults very satisfied.

家族4人で参加しました。子供の費用が無料だったのは大変ありがたかったです。
鯨が見れるかは乗船してみるまでわからないけど、まあ見れなかったらスターオブホノルルでクルージングを楽しむ！という期待感で参加しましたが、ラッキーなことに3回も鯨を見ることができました。
さすがに鯨の顔を見ることはできませんでしたが、潮吹きと立派な鯨の尻尾を見ることができて、子供も大人も大満足でした。

Hawaii is expensive let's be honest. This is a great trip for the money. We had a group of 15 from age 3-65. It was an amazing adventure for all.

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

The quality of your experience is determined by the seat you choose. 座る席で良し悪しが決まる

Reviewed by: 佐々木

As the title suggests, the beauty of the scenery and the number of marine creatures visible greatly differ depending on where you sit. Inside the submarine, the seating is divided into the right and left rows, and this time, the left row was overwhelmingly better (we were in the right row). However, for us ordinary people who rarely have the chance to explore the ocean, it is undoubtedly a valuable experience. I believe this is one event you should definitely participate in when you come to Hawaii.

タイトルの通り、座る席で景色の美しさや見られる海洋生物の数が大きく異なる。潜水艦の中は右列と左列で分かれており、今回の潜水は圧倒的に左列が良かった（※自分達は右列でした）。ただし、なかなか海の中を冒険する機会がない我々一般人にとっては、貴重な体験となることは間違いない。
是非、ハワイに来た際は参加すべきイベントの１つだと思います。

As soon as we boarded, we had a buffet-style lunch. After finishing, we went out to the deck and felt the wind while heading out to Waikiki. The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, and just that alone made me feel great and glad to have participated.

The long-awaited whales appeared, with a pod of about four spouting water and showing their backs and tails repeatedly.

And then, one finally jumped! It leaped vertically, showing us its white and black mottled belly. Lucky!

During the latter part of the cruise, many participants had returned inside the ship, so it was worth staying outside. It was sudden and brief, so I couldn't take a photo, but it was a whale watching tour that left a lasting impression and was very satisfying.

乗船してすぐブッフェ式のランチ。食べ終えて外のデッキへ出て風に吹かれながら、ワイキキ沖へ出て行くと、ワイキキのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、まずはそれだけでも気持ちよくて、参加してよかったと思いました。

待望のクジラは、四頭ほどの群れが潮吹き、背中や尻尾を何度も何度も見せてくれました。

そして、ついに一頭がジャンプ！
縦に垂直に上半身あたり(？)まで飛んで、こちらに白っぽくて黒いまだら模様のあるお腹側を見せてくれました。ラッキー！

クルージング後半で、参加者の多くは船内に戻っていた時間帯、外で頑張っていた甲斐がありました。突然で、一瞬だったので写真は撮れなかったけど、目に焼き付けて大満足のホエールウォッチングツアーとなりました。

I had the experience of swimming with dolphins twice on the Big Island. This time, we were blessed with good weather and sea conditions, and it was amazing to swim with a pod of dolphins in the relatively shallow, bright waters.

Thanks to the dolphins staying in one place and accompanying us, we didn't have to chase them around, which helped us conserve our energy. I really felt lucky. If I had to mention something... I wasn't a big fan of the super sweet juice in the pouch pack that was served for lunch. I would have preferred regular drinks like tea or coffee.

イルカと泳ぐツアーは、ハワイ島で２回経験していました。
今回、お天気・海のコンディションにも恵まれ、比較的浅瀬の日の差す明るめの海の中でイルカの群れと泳げたので最高でした。

イルカの群れも私達に付き合ってくれるように同じ場所にずっと留まるようにいてくれたお陰で、イルカの群れを追いかけ何度も乗船・ダイブということがなく体力も温存出来て、本当にラッキーでした。
しいて言えば・・・ランチで頂けるパウチパックの激甘ジュースがちょっと苦手でした。
お茶かコーヒーなど普通の飲み物が欲しかったです。

I signed up at the request of my children. I was worried about my 4-year-old and 6-year-old, but they were able to shake hands with the dolphins. They said kissing them smelled like fish, so they didn't do that (laughs). The dolphin pool was deeper than I expected, and since the kids couldn't touch the bottom, I had to hold them the whole time. We signed up for the first time slot in the morning, and after it was over, we were able to relax by having a meal in the park, watching the dolphin show, and playing on the playground equipment.

子供のリクエストで申し込みました。4歳と6歳の子供たち、大丈夫かなと心配していましたが、イルカと握手出来ました。キスは魚の匂いがすると言ってやりませんでしたが（笑）イルカのプールは思ったよりも深く、子供たちは足がつかないのでずっと抱っこしていました。朝一番の時間で申し込みましたが、終わって、パークの中で食事したり、イルカショーを見たり、遊具で遊んだりとゆったり過ごせました。

We departed from the harbor about an hour west of Waikiki. Once we set sail, we all participated in a ceremony to call the dolphins. Fortunately, there was already a pod of dolphins nearby, so we were able to jump into the water and see them up close without having to search for them. Although we were wearing wetsuits and life jackets, the dolphins swam close to us. During snorkeling time at the turtle spot, we were also allowed to try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking. There were two Japanese staff members and the rest were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and cheerful. On the way back, we spotted a whale nearby! We were lucky to see it spyhopping and coming up to the surface for a breath.

It was a pleasant experience! 気持ちの良い体験でした！

Reviewed by: moni

The meeting place had a slight delay with the bus, but since it was almost full, I thought it couldn't be helped as we headed to the location! (I even received a call the day before asking if I wanted to change to an afternoon bus because it was full.)

The shuttle bus arrived at our hotel in Waikiki, and we set off early in the morning! The female Japanese guide on the bus was talking non-stop throughout the journey, and while it seemed tough for her, I appreciated her effort to keep us entertained. Initially, I thought her demeanor might be a bit intimidating, but on the water, it turned out to be just right. She really brought everyone together and made it enjoyable!

In December, it can be cold in Hawaii! So, I was recommended to wear a wetsuit, which cost $10 in cash. Even when it's sunny, the water temperature can be chilly, so it's definitely better to be warm and enjoy it slowly!

As for the dolphins, I heard that they had searched for two hours the day before, so I was wondering how it would go... but we encountered them in just about five minutes! However, we couldn't get too close...

Since we found them so quickly, the captain decided to look for them again, and after another five minutes in the water, we faced the dolphins at close range! The dolphins jumped several times, and everyone was moved by the experience.

We then changed locations to see sea turtles. I spotted about three or four swimming around, and there was even a baby sea turtle at the surface, looking incredibly cute!

After that, we enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, ate hamburgers made by the captain, danced the hula, and the crew was cheerful, making for a fun cruising experience!

They took good care of anyone who got seasick or injured. That said, it's best to keep in mind that you should take responsibility for yourself!

The photos were about 600 for around $60. We couldn't afford them, but I heard the photographer was very skilled. I was happy to receive a group photo as a complimentary service. This cruising experience was incredibly fun and became the best memory of our honeymoon!

集合場所にちょっとバスは遅れてましたが、ほぼ満員だったため、しょうがないかなーと思いながら、現地へ！（前日に満員だから午後の便に変えませんか？と電話があったぐらい）

ワイキキのホテルに送迎バスが着き、朝早くから出発！
バスでは日本語ガイドの女性も道中ずっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変そうでしたが、私たちを楽しませるために一所懸命になってくれてるんだなーと好感が持てました。
最初は威圧的かも…と思った雰囲気も、海上ではそれがちょうど良いぐらい。
皆を引っ張って盛り上げてくれて楽しめました！

12月はハワイでも寒い！とのことで、ウェットスーツをお勧めされました。10ドル現金払いでした。やっぱり水温は晴れてても寒くあったほうが絶対ゆっくり楽しめます！

肝心のイルカですが、前日に二時間探したっていう話も聞いて、どうなるんだろう…と思ってましたが、なんと5分ほどで会えました！
でもあんまり近寄れず…

あんまり早く会えたんで、船長ももう一回探してみようということで、またまた5分ほどで海に飛び込み、今度は至近距離でイルカと対面！
イルカはジャンプを何度もしてくれ、全員が感動していました。

場所を変えて今度は海ガメ。
3,4匹泳いでるのが見えました。赤ちゃん海ガメも水面にいて、とてもかわいい表情まで！

その後はスタンドアップパドルを楽しんだり、船長の作ってくれたハンバーガーを食べたり、フラダンスを踊ったり、クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しいクルージングでした！

酔ってしまったり、ケガをしてしまった人がいてもしっかりケアをしてくれてました。
とは言え、基本は自己責任と思っておいたほうが良いです！

写真は約600枚で60ドルぐらいでした。私たちは予算的に手が出なかったのですが、カメラマンがとてもいい腕の人らしいです。
集合写真はサービスでもらえたので嬉しかったです。
今回のクルージングはとても楽しく、新婚旅行の一番の思い出になりました！

After about a 40-minute bus ride, we boarded the boat. On the bus, we listened to explanations, took our own snacks and motion sickness medication, and some of us even slept. Motion sickness medication is a must since the boat sways!!!

When we spotted a pod of dolphins, we jumped from the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. It was thrilling to see the dolphins come close! Since my daughter is only 4 years old, she couldn't join me in the water, but she enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat. It seemed like she had a great time.

It seems that soon she won't be able to swim with the dolphins anymore, so I recommend participating while you can.

After that, we enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We saw many fish and sea turtles. My daughter also swam with a floatie here.

On the way back, we had fun doing hula dancing and eating hamburgers. The staff prioritized safety and took great care of everyone, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind.

On the return bus, there was a photo data sale. Since these were photos I couldn't take myself, I was glad I bought them. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much to all the staff.

4歳の子連れで参加しました。
朝一の便で、早起き頑張りました。

バスで40分位移動してから、船に乗ります。
バスの中では説明を聞き、持参した軽食や酔い止めを飲んだり、睡眠したりします。船が揺れるので酔い止め、必須です！！！

イルカの群れを見つけたら、船から飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳ぎます。イルカが近くに来たりして感動しました！
娘は4歳でしたのでここでは一緒に海に入れませんが、船の上でイルカを見てました。とても楽しめたみたいです。

もうすぐイルカと一緒に泳げなくなるみたいですので、今のうちに参加をオススメします。

その後、シュノーケルやカヤック、スタンドアップパドルをして各自楽しみます。たくさんの魚やウミガメ見れました〜
ここでは娘も一緒に浮き輪をつけて泳ぎました。

帰りにフラダンスをしたり、ハンバーガーを食べたりして楽しい時間でした^_^スタッフの方も、安全第一で皆んなをお世話して下さり、安心して参加できました。

帰りのバスでは写真のデータ販売がありました。自分では撮れない写真ばかりですので、買ってよかったです。
どれも大満足な内容のツアーです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです♡スタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

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

great activiity and great value

Reviewed by: mrfujisan

crew was competent and friendly. it was an easy boat ride to turtle canyon. crew kept close eye on snorkelers for swimmer safety and protection of turtles. I saw the crew actually pick up plastic bag debris drifting by the site (left by someone else) to prevent the turtles from ingesting it. That's my kind of tour operators!!! After snorkeling, Holokai set sail and we had a fantastic wind powered ride. it was great. I will use them again, and I will recommend them to my friends for when the come to Waikiki.

I participated in a tour to swim with dolphins for the first time in Hawaii. Despite it being early in the morning, they provided a proper wake-up call at the hotel, confirmed the pickup time and location, and explained that renting a wetsuit would incur an additional cost due to the low water temperature in winter, advising us to bring cash or a credit card for that purpose. This left a very good impression on me.

The bus that picked us up was not a van, but a proper large bus with a very clean interior, which reassured me before the tour even began. On the way to the harbor, they provided detailed explanations about the swimming techniques we needed to follow to meet wild dolphins, allowing us to participate in the tour without any anxiety.

Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and boarded the boat, setting off to meet the wild dolphins! Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a professional photographer, a lifeguard who was also a hula dancer, and the captain. Everyone was cheerful and entertained us by playing music and dancing, making the time on the boat enjoyable as we headed to the dolphin spot.

When the captain anchored the boat at the dolphin location, we finally got to swim with the wild dolphins! The crew guided us to where the dolphins were, and when we dove in, we were amazed to see dozens of dolphins swimming gracefully so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close, and I was truly moved!

After the dolphins swam away from where we were, we returned to the boat and headed to a spot for snorkeling! We had about 40 minutes of free time, and we could either snorkel or use the paddleboards and kayaks that the crew provided. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling, and while watching tropical fish, we spotted a sea turtle that the crew had mentioned we might be lucky enough to see! The sea turtle swam gracefully close enough that we could almost reach out to it, which was incredible!

When we returned to the boat, the crew had grilled Hawaiian cheeseburgers waiting for us, and we enjoyed them while watching a hula dance performance. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of mountains and the sea, having met dolphins and sea turtles, and enjoying lunch while watching hula dancing on the boat made for a luxurious tour experience. I was very satisfied, and above all, the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a tour worth participating in! If you want to swim with dolphins when you visit Oahu, I highly recommend "Dolphin & You"!

今回ハワイで初めてイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
早朝にも関わらず、ホテルにきちんとモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認、そして冬でかなり水温が低い事からウェットスーツをレンタルする場合にはお金が掛かるので、借りる場合はその分の現金もしくはクレジットカードを持参した方がいい旨なども事前に説明して下さったことからとても好印象を受けました。
迎えに来たバスはバンではなく、きちんとした大きなバスで内装もとても綺麗でツアーが始まる前から安心しました。
バスで港に向かうまでの間に野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない海の中での泳ぎ方等についても詳しく説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着いて、ウェットスーツなどを着用してから船に乗り込みいよいよ野生のイルカに会いに出発！
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、プロのカメラマン、プロのライフセーバー兼フラダンサー、キャプテンがいたのですがとにかく皆さん陽気で私達を楽しませてくれる為に音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカに会えるスポットに行くまでの間退屈することなく船上で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
キャプテンがイルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ野生のイルカと泳ぎに海へ！
クルーがイルカのいるところまで泳いで案内してくれて潜ってみると手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎という近さで何十頭ものイルカが優雅に泳いでおり、人生で初めて野生のイルカを間近で肉眼で見る事ができ、ほんとに感動しました！
イルカの群れが私達がいた箇所を離れていってから船の上に戻り、次はシュノーケリングを楽しめるスポットへ！
こちらでは40分程の自由時間をもらえて、シュノーケリングをするもよし！
クルーの方がパドルボートとカヤックも用意してくれるのでこちらをやるもよし！
私と夫はシュノーケリングを楽しみ、熱帯魚を見ていたらクルーの方が「ラッキーだと海亀に会えるかも！」と言っていた海亀を発見！
海亀も手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎というぐらい近くを優雅に泳いでくれて感動しました！
船上に帰るとクルーがハワイアンチーズバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、フラダンサーの踊りを鑑賞しながらチーズバーガーを頬張りました。
周りを見れば大自然の山と海！
イルカや海亀にも会えて、船上でフラダンスを見ながらのランチ！贅沢なツアー内容に大満足ですし、何より親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さり本当に参加した価値のあったツアーでした！
オアフ島に行った際にイルカと泳ぎたいなら『Dolphin&you』オススメです！

I could hardly see any dolphins. イルカはほとんど見れなかった

Reviewed by: Run

The visibility was good, and the waves were calm. Additionally, it seemed like we had great conditions as we spotted dolphins right after departing. However, I only saw them swimming during the first dive, and I just caught a glimpse of two in the distance. During the second dive, I didn’t see them swimming at all; I only saw them flying above the surface in the distance.

So, I can say I did see dolphins, and I thought, "It can't be helped. I'll try again someday." But when I looked at the photos I purchased, there were so many dolphins swimming... I felt down realizing that some people got to see such wonderful dolphin sightings that day while I did not. I’m good at swimming and thought I was desperately searching with my face in the water, but perhaps it was just a matter of timing...

I wanted to try again since I didn’t get to see them, but the third dive was in an area with sea turtles and tropical fish. I was happy to see the sea turtles, but I wanted to swim with the dolphins, so I wished I could have tried again at a different spot. It seemed there were others who reported not seeing them during the second dive as well...

I want to achieve my dream of swimming with dolphins, so I would like to go back to Hawaii, but next time I want to join a tour that focuses solely on dolphins.

透明度もよく、波も余りたっておらず、
さらに出港後すぐにイルカを発見という好条件だったようですが、
泳いでる姿を見れたのは1回目のみ、2頭を遠くにみただけでした。
2回目のダイブは泳いでる姿はみれず、水面を飛んでる？姿を遠くにみただけ。

イルカが見れたかといえば見れたので
「仕方ない。またいつかリベンジしよう」と思ってましたが
購入した写真をみるとたくさんのイルカが泳いている姿・・・
あの日こんなにも素晴らしいイルカの姿を見れた人と見入れない人がいるのかと落ち込みました。
泳ぎも得意ですし、海に顔をつけ必死に探しまわったつもりですが、
タイミングなのでしょうか・・・

見れないので再チャレンジしたかったけど、
3回目はウミガメや熱帯魚のエリアでした。
ウミガメは嬉しかったけど、イルカと泳ぎたかったので別のスポットで再チャレンジさせてもらいたかったです。
2回目見れないと申告した方もいたようですし・・・

イルカと泳ぐ夢を達成したいのでまたハワイに行きたいですが、
次回はイルカだけのツアーに参加したいと思いました。

Reviewed by: YOSHIDAさん

I participated with great expectations, having gone to bed early the night before and being fully prepared, knowing that I could go snorkeling while watching wild dolphins. We boarded the dolphin-numbered bus and traveled for about an hour to the port, where the guide was very entertaining. Listening to their stories made the time fly, and we arrived at the port in no time. It was mentioned in advance on the bus, but I think wearing a wetsuit is essential. Everyone in the group was wearing one. Once we entered the water and returned to the boat, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on. There were several sizes of wetsuits available, and they asked for our preferences in advance, so it fit perfectly.

Upon arriving at the port, I first went to the restroom, then put on my wetsuit and boarded the boat. Once we were out at sea, we were able to see a seal first. There was just one, but it was very cute. Then, we finally reached the dolphin point. I was deeply moved to see a pod of dolphins right in front of me. There were probably around 100 of them, surrounding us on all sides. Among the dolphins, there were also baby dolphins.

That wasn't all. We moved to another point and were able to see sea turtles as well. On the way back to the port after snorkeling, the spam onigiri served on the boat was very delicious. I wanted to eat another one. The guide had said in advance, "Dolphin school is strict, so make sure to keep up," but it was not like that at all; the atmosphere was enjoyable throughout, and I had a valuable experience that became the highlight of my trip to Hawaii.

野生のイルカを見ながらシュノーケリングができるとあって、大きな期待を胸に前日は早めに就寝し準備万端で参加させていただきました。イルカナンバーのバスに乗り込み港まで約1時間移動するのですが、ガイドさんがとても面白い方で、話を楽しく聞いているとあっという間に港に到着しました。バスの中で事前に案内されていましたがウエットスーツは必須だと思います。参加者全員着用していました。海に入りボートに戻るとウエットスーツを着ていても相当寒かったです。ウエットスーツは幾つかサイズがあり事前に希望を聞いて用意してくれるのでジャストフィットです。
港に着くとまずトイレに行き、その後ウエットスーツを着て船に乗り込みます。
海に出てから、最初にアザラシを見ることができました。一頭でしたがとてもかわいかったです。そして、いよいよイルカポイントです。イルカの群れを目の前で見ることができとても感動しました。たぶん、100頭はいたと思います。前後左右イルカだらけです。イルカの群れの中には赤ちゃんイルカもいました。
それだけではありません。別のポイントに移動しウミガメも見ることができました。
シュノーケリングが終了し港に戻る途中、ボートで出されたスパムおにぎりはとてもおいしかったです。もう一つ食べたかった。
事前にガイドさんが「イルカ中学はスパルタなのでちゃんとついて来てね」と言ってましたが、特にそんなこともなく終始楽しい雰囲気で貴重な経験ができ大満足で今回のハワイ旅行の一番の思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: Mihoko

I participated with my child who is under three years old. My husband and I planned to take turns going into the sea while one of us stayed on the boat with our child, but since the group went a bit far from the boat, that plan turned out to be difficult. In the end, we sat our son on a surfboard and both of us snorkeled with the other participants. At first, our child was scared and crying, but gradually he got used to it and said, "I'm not scared anymore." The staff were very kind to our youngest son, holding him so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about him, and they were incredibly helpful.

I wasn't sure about the meeting place, but when I called the contact number, they kindly explained the location and even sent a photo of the map to my phone.

We had a great time, but I think it might be difficult for children under three to participate, depending on the staff.

3歳未満の子供と参加しました。主人と交代で海に入り、どちらかが子供と一緒に船上で待っていようと計画していましたが団体が少し船から離れたところまで行くので実際はその計画は難しく、結局サーフボードに息子を座らせて夫婦同時に他の参加者と共にシュノーケルをしました。はじめ子供は怖がっていて泣きべそをかいていましたがだんだん慣れて「もう怖くない」と言っていました。スタッフも最年少の息子にとても優しく、私たちが息子のことを気にかけず楽しめるように抱っこしてくれたり申し訳ないほど親切にしてもらいました。

集合場所もよく分からなかったのですが連絡先に電話を入れたらとても丁寧に場所を教えてくれて私の携帯に地図の写真まで送ってくれました。

とても楽しめましたがスタッフによっては３歳未満の参加は難しいかと思います。

We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie
