I could only see the dolphins for a moment. The Japanese guide was quite unique (not very friendly). Considering this content, I wonder if the price is high...

On our second visit to the Big Island on October 17, we decided to challenge ourselves with manta watching. We were a bit anxious at the start since our beautiful driver couldn't speak Japanese, but it turned out to be lucky as we were the only two Japanese participants on the tour, allowing us to have the shuttle and our guide, Tori, all to ourselves. The boat ride to our destination off the coast of Kona was thrilling, comparable to a ride at an amusement park, and we all cheered while enjoying the fun journey, plus we got to admire a beautiful sunset. On the way back, we also enjoyed a starry sky, so we never had a dull moment during the trip. During the main event, it was an incredible day as manta rays continuously swirled beneath me with their mouths wide open, making me gasp in awe. I was amazed by how many times the mantas brushed against the bar I was holding onto, yet I felt no fear at all. I think this might be my last chance to visit the Big Island, but I had a truly moving experience and created wonderful memories. Thank you to all the staff.
10/17 2度目のビッグアイランド訪問でやり残していたマンタウォッチに夫婦でチャレンジしました。迎えの美人ドライバーが日本語しゃべれないのでちょっと不安なスタートでしたが、当日のツアーは日本人の参加者が私たち二人だけでしたので送迎車も日本人ガイドのトリさんも独占状態でラッキーでした。コナ空港沖の目的地までのボート移動もライド系アトラクション並の衝撃とスリルでみんなで歓声を上げながら楽しい移動を体験でき、おまけに綺麗な夕日が鑑賞できました。帰路も満天の星空鑑賞付でしたので移動も暇をもてあそぶことはありませんでした。本番も、大当たりの日で私の下をひっきりなしにマンタが大きな口を開けて旋回し続け、声にならないうめき声をあげつつけていました。つかまっているバーの手に何度もマンタが触れてくるという接近戦に感動しつつも恐怖心は全くありませんでした。ビッグアイランドに来れるのも最後かと思いますが最後に感動的な経験をできいい思い出ができました。スタッフのみなさんありがとう。

Before participating in the tour, I was a bit anxious after reading reviews that mentioned "not enough fish," but... the blue ocean, the abundance of fish, and above all, meeting a sea turtle instantly lifted my spirits!!! The ocean was truly beautiful, and even though it was my first time snorkeling, I was so excited as soon as I got in the water that I must have tensed up, resulting in muscle soreness the next day (laughs). The clarity of the water at Molokini left me speechless. It reminded me of the importance of cherishing nature.
There was an initial briefing about safety in the ocean, and we were advised not to get too close to the turtles. However, a sea turtle suddenly appeared right in front of me, and as I tried to keep my distance, it actually swam closer to me... I was amazed at how fast the turtle was swimming (≧▽≦).
The BBQ lunch was also fantastic, with stunning views and the beautiful blue of the ocean, making it feel like the best experience ever! After the BBQ, we moved to another location, but it got a bit chilly, and I hesitated to get back in the water. However, since I had the chance to see the turtle and swimming in such a beautiful ocean doesn't happen often, I dove in! Thanks to that, I was welcomed by many fish.
They mentioned that they changed the order of the stops based on the day's conditions, and it resulted in an amazing experience. I'm also grateful for Miho and the friendly staff's accommodating attitude (*^-^*). I mistakenly misunderstood the pickup location and ended up being late, but they quickly sent another vehicle, allowing me to participate without any issues. I was feeling anxious about being late, but thanks to Miho's presence, I was able to enjoy myself.
ツアーに参加する前に口コミにて「魚が少ない」などとあり、少し不安だったのですが・・・
海の青さ、たくさんのお魚、そしてなによりウミガメに会えて一気に気分は最高!!!
本当に本当にきれいな海で、初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが海に入ってすぐに興奮状態になり、変な力が入っていたのか翌日は筋肉痛に(笑)
モロキニの水の透明度は本当に言葉がなくなります。自然を大切にする気持ちを思い出させてくれました。最初に海での注意事項などの説明があり、カメにあまり近づきすぎないようにとのことでしたが、目の前に突然ウミガメが現れ、なるべく離れようとしたのですがカメの方から近づいてくるというか・・・カメの泳ぎの速さにビックリ(≧▽≦)
お昼のBBQもステキな景色と綺麗な海の青さで、なんだか最高でした!BBQのあと別の場所に移動したのですが若干冷えてしまい海に入ることを躊躇したのですが、せっかくカメにも会え、こんな海で泳ぐことはそう何回もあることではないのでダイブ!!おかげでたくさんのお魚さんに迎らえました。
当日の状況で回る順番を変えたとのことでしたが、おかげで最高の経験ができました。ミホさんやスタッフの方々の気さくな対応にも感謝です(*^-^*)
ピックアップの場所を勘違いして時間に遅れてしまったのですが、すぐに別の迎えを出してくれ無事に参加できました。遅れたこともあり不安を抱いていたのですがミホさんの存在のおかげで楽しむことができました。

Swimming with dolphins has always been my dream, and I was finally able to go to Dolphin University this time!! The weather was perfect, and even though I thought it would be cold in October, I was totally fine without a wetsuit! I was so excited on the bus, and when we finally got to the ocean… right after leaving the port, we saw a huge pod of dolphins\(^o^)/ Everyone came together to chase the dolphins, searching "toward the mountains, toward the sea." It seemed like almost all the dolphins in Oahu gathered that day, with reports of around 200 dolphins present(^^). Both my husband and I agreed that our honeymoon at Dolphin University was the most fun! However, I do regret not buying the photos(´・ω・`).
イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、今回念願のイルカ大学に行くことができました!!
当日は快晴で10月に入り寒いかと思ったけれど、ウエットスーツを着なくても全然大丈夫でした!

皆で一丸となりイルカを追いかけ、「山の方ー、海の方ー」とみんなで探し。

We used this service for our honeymoon (﹡ˆˆ﹡). First of all, as others have mentioned, I had trouble finding the meeting point; I'm glad I planned to arrive a bit early. Once we arrived, we changed into half-pants wetsuits and boarded the boat for departure! The boat ride was thrilling, comparable to a roller coaster, and the 15 minutes until we reached the snorkeling area were a blast! (It might have helped that I took motion sickness medication beforehand...)
On the boat, our cute guide "Ali-chan," who spoke Japanese well, explained interesting facts about manta rays! This made me even more excited about seeing them!
Once the sun set, we began snorkeling. We all held onto a board with a rope while snorkeling. My husband can't swim, but he had no problems snorkeling at all!! (He was very happy about this ^^)
As for the mantas, we saw them five times that day☆ I was really happy to see them five times, but according to Ali-chan, that was fewer than usual... After swimming, we returned to the harbor while sipping warm cocoa. The starry sky was beautiful!!!
If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love to participate again!!
新婚旅行で利用させていただきました(﹡ˆˆ﹡)
まず、ほかの方が書いているように集合場所が見つけられず迷ってしまいました;;少し早めに着くつもりで行動しておいてよかったなと思いました。
着いたら、半ズボンタイプのウェットスーツに着替えて、ボートに乗って出発です!このボートが、ジェットコースター並にスリリングで、シュノーケリングエリアに着くまでの15分ぐらい終始楽しかったです!(事前に酔い止めを飲んでいたからよかったのかもしれませんが・・・)
船の上では、可愛くて日本語も上手なガイドの「アリちゃん」が、マンタに関する知識を解説してくれました!これで、余計にマンタに対する楽しみな気持ちが高まりました!
日が沈んだら、シュノーケリングの開始です。
みんなでロープのついたボードにつかまってシュノーケリングをします。ですので、私の旦那は泳げませんが、何の問題もなくシュノーケリングできました!!(本人はこれにとても喜んでました^^)
そして肝心のマンタですが、この日は5回マンタが見れました☆私としては、5回も見れてとても嬉しかったですが、アリちゃんによるといつもよりも少ないそうです・・・
泳ぎ終わったら、あったかいココアを飲みながら帰港しました。星空がとても綺麗でした!!!
また、ハワイ島に行くことがあれば、参加したいです!!

We signed up for this snorkeling cruise as a couple because we heard we could see wild dolphins.
On the bus ride to the boarding location, the tour guide mentioned that they had searched for an hour yesterday before finally spotting dolphins, which made us quite anxious. However, once we got out to sea, we quickly encountered a pod of dolphins, put on our life jackets, and jumped into the water!
Immediately, a large group of dolphins swam right in front of us. We could hear their sounds, and they swirled around us. It was incredible to see wild dolphins, and we realized how lucky our team was.
Onboard, we were served handmade hamburgers while the crew performed a hula dance. Watching the dance while enjoying the burgers was exceptional.
On our way back to the harbor, we also spotted a whale. The spouting was very impressive.
We even got to see the tail fin, which can only be seen when diving deep, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend participating in this if you go to Hawaii!
この度、野生のイルカが見れるという事から夫婦で

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.
I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.

At first, the price was somewhat high, and I wasn't very enthusiastic about the activity, but I participated due to my girlfriend's strong insistence. After joining, I was convinced... it was a very enjoyable and good activity. There are additional fees for things like wetsuit rental and photo/video data (optional), but I think the basic content is quite satisfying. Since I brought my own underwater camera, I didn't purchase the photos or video data, but while the price seemed a bit high, they were well taken and definitely better than what an amateur could capture. I couldn't take nice pictures at all (cry). If you have children or are in a large group without an underwater camera, I think it's worth purchasing. They will take pictures of everyone, but they prioritize the buyers for the shooting... As for the dolphins, we saw them for a rather short time, but I think everyone wished to see them a bit longer. We also saw sea turtles swimming, which was a rare experience that you don't get to have often. The staff were amazing! They were all very lively, so if you're not good with that, it might be a bit much, but I truly felt it was worth participating. This is all my personal opinion, but if you have even a little interest, I definitely recommend joining (laugh).
最初はお値段もソコソコするし、そこまで乗り気では無いアクティビティだったのですが彼女のゴリ押しで参加しました。参加して納得…とても楽しく良いアクティビティでした。ウェットスーツレンタルや写真、動画データなどの+αの追加料金(希望制)もあったりしますが基本的には満足出来る内容だと思います。当方は水中カメラ持参でしたので写真や動画データは購入しませんでしたが、お値段は割高な気がしますがキッチリ撮っていてくれていて、やはり素人とは比べ物にならなく納得出来そうな良い物でした。自分は全然綺麗に撮れなかったです(泣) お子様が居るご家族や大人数で水中カメラ持参で無い様でしたら購入価値はかなりあるかと思います。皆、撮って頂けますが一応、購入者優先で撮影してくれますので…。肝心のイルカはかなり短い時間でしたが見れました。もう少し長く見たいと皆様、思われていたと思います。海亀も普通に泳いでいて中々体験出来ない貴重な時間でした。スタッフの方たちも最高でした!皆ノリノリで騒ぐ事もあるので苦手な方は苦手かもしれませんが参加して良かったと心から思いました。全て個人的な意見ですが興味が少しでもありましたら是非参加をオススメします(笑)

On November 2, 2016, I participated with a friend. The weather that day was sunny, although it was a bit windy, the event went ahead as planned.
We had an early start, with the hotel pickup at 5:40 AM, but we managed to wake up. Since we were the last to be picked up, the bus arrived a little late and was almost full. That day, the bus was packed, with about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners.
From there, the bus drove to the west coast of Oahu. Inside the bus, we signed a simple waiver on the provided iPads and watched a video on snorkeling guidelines. Those who wanted to purchase photos (to be delivered via USB) or rent wetsuits needed to inform the staff at this time.
My friend rented a wetsuit (paying $10 on the spot), while I wore my own short-sleeve rash guard and had rented an underwater camera in Japan beforehand. Other equipment was provided as soon as we arrived at the port. There were various sizes available, so it’s a good idea to choose something that fits well. (Also, don’t forget to take motion sickness medication at this time!)
We boarded the boat, which was also quite crowded. It felt a bit cramped, but considering the focus was on the dolphins, the boat ride felt secondary. Still, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with dances and performances, making it enjoyable. You can also go up on deck and take a commemorative photo with the captain.
Before long, it was time for the much-anticipated dolphin encounter! We put on our fins and masks and all jumped into the sea together. It’s best to follow the leading staff and look around underwater! I had my camera, so I took a few pictures. There were about 50 dolphins in the pod, but I was only able to spot around 10. I wish I could have seen more!
After about 10-15 minutes, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot. (Since the time is short, don’t waste it by dawdling!) It seemed like we were trying to chase the dolphins, but due to the current (it was quite windy that day—what a shame!), we had to give up on the dolphins here.
Next, we dove at a spot known for the honu, or sea turtles. I was amazed by the dolphins, but I was especially thrilled to see my first sea turtle (and so close!). My friend was also impressed by the sea turtles! The staff, who understood the turtles' ecology well, shared tips on how to observe them, which made it really enjoyable.
Additionally, there were (simple) stand-up paddleboarding, a water slide, and a trampoline, so I think both kids and adults can have fun with these activities.
The finale included a Hawaiian performance and the captain's special cheeseburger as a farewell!
The staff were very lively, so I felt that some people might not vibe with them. Personally, I had a great time, but my friend seemed a bit less enthusiastic. However, if you view it as part of the cheerful Hawaiian communication, it felt very natural. The staff were all in their twenties, so they were very energetic and good at keeping the mood up.
After arriving at the port, we had some time before the bus arrived, so the staff called out to nearby members and organized an impromptu yoga session! Doing yoga under the warm sun around 11:00 AM felt wonderful. I thought this kind of service spirit was lovely.
Finally, we were dropped off at the hotel, and everything ended smoothly. We arrived around 12:30 PM, so our afternoon schedule went as planned! If I could see more dolphins, I would definitely want to go again!
2016/11/2に、2人で参加してきました。
当日の天気は晴れ。風がやや強かったのですが、予定どおり決行されました。
朝の出発は、ホテルに5:40迎え、とだいぶ早かったのですが、なんとか起床。
迎えの順番が最後だったこともあり、若干時間に遅れて到着したバスは、ほぼ満席状態。
この日は満員で、日本人8割、外国人2割程度でした。
そこからバスはオアフ島西海岸まで、走って行きます。
バスの車内では、配布されるiPadで簡単な誓約書にサインをして、
シュノーケリングの基本ガイドラインのビデオを見ます。
写真購入(USBでの受け渡し)の方、ウェットスーツレンタルの方は、
このタイミングでスタッフの方に申告することになります。
相方はウェットスーツをレンタル(その場で10ドル支払い)。
私は自前のラッシュガード(半袖)で、
水中カメラは事前に日本でレンタルして持ち込みました。
その他の装備は、港に着いてすぐ支給されます。
サイズも結構幅があるので、自分にフィットするものを吟味するのが良いと思います。
(あと、このタイミングで酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れずに!)
船には、これまた満員キツキツで乗り込みます。
少し手狭な印象でしたが、イルカをメインと考えれば、船上はおまけみたいなものです。
それでも、陽気なスタッフが、ダンスやパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれるので楽しめます。
デッキに上がって、船長と記念写真を撮ることもできます。
そうこうしていると、待ちに待ったイルカタイム!
フィンやマスクを装着して、皆でぞろぞろと海に飛び込んで行きます。
できるだけ先導のスタッフについて行って、水中をキョロキョロ見まわすのが良いと思います!
私はカメラを持っていたので、数枚パシャり。
50頭ほどの群れだったそうですが、私が確認できたのは、10頭ほどでした。
もう少し、見たかった、、!
10〜15分ほどで、一旦船に上がり、次のポイントへ。
(時間が短いので、モタモタしているともったいないですよ!)
イルカを追いかけようとしていたみたいなのですが、
潮の流れ(当日は風強め。惜しい!)も影響し、イルカはここで断念。
そのあと、ホヌと呼ばれるウミガメのスポットへダイブします。
イルカも感動しましたが、私は初ウミガメ(しかも至近距離!)にことさら感動しました。
相方も、ウミガメ凄かった!と感動していました。
ウミガメの生態をよく理解したスタッフが、観察のコツを教えてくれるので、
しっかりと楽しめました!
その他にも(簡易的な)SUPや水上滑り台、トランポリンなど、
アクティビティーでわちゃわちゃできるので、子どもから大人まで楽しめると思います。
ラストはハワイアンなパフォーマンスと船長特製チーズバーガーで、お別れです!
ノリノリなスタッフたちなので、人によっては合わない方もいるかもな、と感じました。
ちなみに、私はかなり楽しめましたが、相方は少し気乗りしない感じでしたね。
でも、ハワイアンな陽気なコミュニケーションの一環と捉えれば、すごく自然でしたし、
20代のスタッフばかりなので、すごく機動力もあり、盛り上げ上手でもありました。
港に着いてから、バスの到着まで時間があったので、
スタッフが近くにいたメンバーに声を掛け、臨時のヨガタイム!
11:00過ぎの暖かくなった時間帯での太陽の下でのヨガは気持ち良かったです。
こういうサービス精神は素敵だなと思いました。
最後はホテルまで送ってもらって、無事終了。
到着も12:30ぐらいだったので、午後のスケジュールも予定通りスムーズでした!
もっとイルカ見れるなら、ぜひまた行きたいですね!

I think it's an activity that anyone can easily enjoy underwater, even if they can't swim, since you're just sitting on a scooter. However, it states that your face won't get wet, but when getting off the scooter, you're told to get off in the water, so you end up submerged. For the 4.5 people after the first, they also had to get on the scooter from underwater, so everyone was soaked. Perhaps because there were so many people, the wait time was long, and there was no snorkeling. However, the underwater scenery was beautiful, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.
スクーターに座っているだけなので、泳げなくても誰でも簡単に水中を楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。ですが、顔が濡れないと記載されていますが、スクーターから降りる際水中で降りろといわれるので、結果水中に潜った形になってしまいます。4.5人目以降の人たちはスクーターに乗る際も、水中から乗る形になっていたので、みんなビショビショでした。人数が多かったせいか、待ち時間が長くシュノーケリングもありませんでした。ですが水中は綺麗だったので一度体験されるといいと思います。

I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.
海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。

The only downside was that I was expecting to see the ocean floor teeming with fishes and corals which was not the case. Instead there were deliberately sunken ships and airplane ruins that served as artificial reefs or the ocean floor would have otherwise been bare. Didn't see any natural corals. But I guess it's not the fault of the tour though their ads were a bit overhyped and misleading with colourful fishes so you would tend to over expect. A fun and unique activity nevertheless for first timers!

I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!

The included transportation was very satisfying. The price might be a bit high, but if you're going to Hawaii, you should definitely go! It's close to Waikiki, and we had the best time with Atlantis in the morning and shopping in Waikiki in the afternoon.
送迎付きとあり、大変満足のいく内容でした。
値段は、高いかもいらないけど、せっかくハワイ行くなら絶対行くべし❗️
ワイキキからも近いし、午前中にアトランティス、午後からはワイキキでショッピングと最高のひとときでした。

The dolphins were incredibly cute. The instructor was also very kind. I was moved to be able to swim with the dolphins.
イルカがサイコーに可愛いかったです。インストラクターの方も親切でした。イルカと泳げるなんて感動しました。

When we spotted dolphins from the boat, the crew called out, and one by one, we jumped into the sea and swam. At first, I was scared, but the crew member held my hand and pointed out, "Look over there!" Seeing the wild dolphins made me forget my fear. It was so much fun that I wanted to go every day. The joy was beyond what words can express. I absolutely recommend it. The crew members were amazing!
船に乗ってイルカを発見すると、クルーの人の呼びかけで、次々と海に飛び込み、泳ぎます。
始めは怖かったけど、クルーのお兄ちゃまが手を引いてくれて、ホラッ見てと教えてくれたり、野生のイルカを見れてもう怖さもありませんでした。
とにかく楽しくって楽しくって毎日行きたいって思うくらいでした。
文だけでは表せられないくらいの楽しさでした。
絶対に行ってほしい。
クルーの方々もメッチャ最高でした!
Aloha!

This was a tour I was looking forward to on my first trip to Maui with my eldest son. It was a morning tour, and we were able to see a mother and baby whale at quite a close distance, which got us both very excited. I thought it would have been helpful to have an explanation about the parking, but I would like to participate again when I visit Maui next time.
今回、長男と2人で初めてのマウイ島旅行で楽しみにしていたツアーでした。朝からのツアーでしたが結構近い距離でクジラの親子を見ることができ、親子で大興奮でした。駐車場の説明があると助かったなぁと思いましたが、またマウイ島に行った時には参加したいと思います。
