モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

It was the best memory. 最高の思い出です。

Reviewed by: mo-riya

We participated in a tour with a Japanese guide for our family trip, which included eight girls aged 5 to 80, as we had parents with mobility issues. There was only one other couple who were Japanese; the rest were foreigners.

Our guide, Miho, was very attentive and cheerful. She engaged in conversation with my parents on the boat and helped my mother, who was afraid of the sea, at a slow pace suitable for the elderly. It was a great help. The children were more focused on jumping off the boat and the slide rather than snorkeling. Onboard, we also enjoyed unlimited Hawaiian beer, sampling three different types, so there were plenty of ways to have fun besides the sea. Miho's stories were enjoyable, so I highly recommend this experience.

下は5歳から上は80歳までの女子ばっかりの8人家族旅行。足の不自由な両親がいたので 日本語ガイド付きのツアーに参加しました。日本人は私たち以外にはご夫婦が1組いただけ。後は外国の方ばかり。
ガイドのミホさんは とても 気の利く 明るい方で 船内では 両親の話し相手になってくれたり 海を怖がる母を 手取り足取りゆっくり年寄りのペースで補助してくれたりと とても 助かりました。 子供たちは シュノーケリングより 船上からの飛び込みやスライダーに夢中。船内では ハワイのビールも飲み放題！ 3種類を飲み比べたりと 海以外の楽しみ方も あります。ミホさんのお話も楽しいのでぜひオススメです。

Family Dolphin Encounter 家族揃ってのドルフィン・エンカウンター

Reviewed by: りんママ

We participated in the Dolphin Encounter as a family since my daughter is three years old. She was initially scared of seeing the dolphins up close, and since we had a photo session before she got used to it, all the pictures turned out to show her looking nervous. However, as time passed, she became more comfortable and started to enjoy touching them. I would like to participate again when she is a bit older.

This time, we arrived early by rental car, so it was great that we could explore other areas within Sea Life Park as well.

娘が３歳ということで、ドルフィン・エンカウンターに家族で参加しました。
娘は初めて間近で見るイルカに恐怖心があり、慣れないうちに写真撮影があったため、写真はどれも腰が引けたものになっていました。しかし、時間が経つと慣れてきて触れるようになり楽しんでいました。娘がもう少し大きくなった時に、また参加したいです。
今回はレンタカー移動で早めに到着したので、シーライフ・パーク内の他の場所も回ることができてよかったです。

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）＞

I didn't see many fish, but I was satisfied. それほど魚は見られませんでしたが、満足しました。

Reviewed by: ゆきこ

We participated with my brother's family and our parents to find something enjoyable for my 4-year-old niece.

We took a boat to the transfer point for the submarine. Sitting in an outside seat, the boat rocked quite a bit, especially while we were in the bay. The wind helped distract from the motion, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Although the transfer to the submarine was last, it might have actually been the right choice. I had a window all to myself. My parents, who were seated in the middle, mentioned that they had to share two windows with 3 or 4 people, which made it a bit cramped. However, the staff's chatter was quite loud, and while it wasn't bothersome if you didn't understand English, it was a bit annoying when seawater dripped in after the hatch was opened.

There were plenty of fish around the artificial reefs made of blocks, boats, and airplanes. However, they didn't come close to the windows. It turns out that it doesn't quite match the pictures. Still, watching the underwater world while listening to the audio guide was fascinating and enjoyable. My niece didn't listen to the guide, but she seemed to have a good time.

4歳の姪っ子が楽しめるものを、ということで弟家族と両親と参加しました。

潜水艦への乗り換えポイントまで船で行きます。
船外の席に座っていると、かなりの揺れ。特に湾内にいるときの方が揺れました。
船外の席で風に当たっていると気分は紛れますが、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意が必要かも。

潜水艦への乗り換えが最後になってしまいましたが、これが実は正解だったかも。
船窓を独り占め。真ん中のほうの席にいた両親は、3,4人で２つの船窓だったので隣の人が少し邪魔だったと言っていました。
ただし、暇を持て余したスタッフが話している声が結構大きいのと（英語が分からないとそれほど気になりませんが）、浮上後にハッチを開けた際に海水が少し降ってくるのは我慢です。

ブロックや船、飛行機などの人口漁礁の周りでは魚がいっぱいいました。
ただ、船窓近くには寄って来ませんが。やはり、写真のようにはいかないですね。
それでも音声ガイドを聞きながら見る海の世界は興味深く、楽しいものでした。
姪っ子はガイドは聞いていませんが、それなりに楽しんでいたようです。

The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable.

Spindle jump is the best!! スピンドルジャンプ最高!!

Reviewed by: 海大好きファミリー

I searched online for a tour to swim with wild dolphins and signed up for "Dolphin University," which had the best reviews. It was a great decision. The staff were enthusiastic both on the bus and on the boat, making it a very enjoyable tour. We were blessed with good weather and received satisfying lessons from Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle, successfully graduating from the experience.

The schedule involved being picked up by a bus from the hotel at 6 AM, traveling along the west coast of Oahu for about an hour to reach the port. During the ride, the female staff shared detailed explanations about dolphins and turtles, tips for swimming well with dolphins, and snorkeling precautions, which made the journey exciting and tense as we quickly arrived at the port.

We immediately boarded the boat, sang "Ehomai" to pray for safe sailing, and set off. Fifteen minutes later, we encountered the first pod of dolphins, which included a mother and her baby (about five dolphins spotted). The second pod had over 20 dolphins! They swam gracefully beneath us as we floated with our snorkels. They were incredibly fast! On that day, there were three pods in the bay. The dolphins even showcased some spindle jumps. I felt super lucky and wished I could swim with them a little longer.

Next, we enjoyed snorkeling at the fish and turtle point. There were only a few coral reefs in this area (which is generally sparse around Oahu). We also tried paddle surfing for the first time and managed to stand up quickly, which was fun. However, it was a bit disappointing that the hula dance we were looking forward to couldn't happen due to sound equipment issues. I would have loved to do it even without music.

The photographer took many pictures, and I think it would be even better if there was a system to select and purchase only the photos we wanted for creating memories. We had to wait about 30 minutes for the return bus, which was a bit frustrating in the heat. Overall, it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Dinner Cruise Review

Reviewed by: Unhappy customer

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!

Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.

The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.

Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

I was worried about seasickness, but according to the captain, it was a calm sea, which happens only about 30 days a year—lucky us! He mentioned that usually, someone ends up throwing up (laughs).

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

船酔いを心配しましたが、船長さん曰く年に30日あるかどうかの穏やかな海、ラッキーだね、とのこと。いつもは一人は吐く人がいるそうです （笑）
英語のみの説明ですが、重要なのは1つ。ケージの外に手足を出さない！でした。サメにアタックされることはなかったです。結構じっくり時間を取ってくれて、一生分のサメを近距離で堪能しました！

On the day of the trip, the boat was fully booked with 149 passengers on board. There were few Japanese people, just us and one other group, but a female Japanese staff member was always attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were lucky with the weather, as there were hardly any waves, and being on a large boat meant it didn't rock at all.

The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the cookies afterward made me feel like I was in America.

During snorkeling, we got to see the crescent-shaped Molokini Island, and at the turtle point, we encountered four turtles, one of which was right in front of us—it was truly moving! Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to enjoy myself without getting too tired by using the free floatation devices available.

If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would love to participate again.

It was an emotional experience! 感動の体験です！

Reviewed by: ベール

At the end of June, during our company trip, I visited Hawaii for the first time and wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles.

On the morning of the tour, we gathered at the meeting point and departed as soon as everyone arrived. The bus ride takes about an hour if there’s no traffic. During the ride, the instructor and the bus driver introduced themselves and explained the precautions for participating in the tour and the day's itinerary. Motion sickness medication can also be purchased for about $2, so if you don’t have any and need it, you can buy it on the bus. Even if you’re confident you won’t get sick, the boat can sway quite a bit depending on the weather, so I recommend buying and taking the motion sickness medication. In fact, there were a few people who didn’t take it and ended up getting sick on the boat. If you get seasick, you won’t be able to enjoy the tour to the fullest, so be sure to take it.

Before long, we arrived at the port, and those who wanted to rent wetsuits settled the rental fee. You can also sign up for wetsuit rental on the bus. As other reviewers have mentioned, even if it’s warm on land, returning to the boat with a wet body can be much colder than you expect, so I recommend renting one.

Once we were ready, we set off. There were about 20 to 30 people, and the bus was nearly full. Along with the participants, there were three instructors who joined us from the bus, as well as the captain and his son. The boat is equipped with a restroom, which is reassuring. The instructors kept the atmosphere lively on the boat.

This time, we were lucky with the weather, and about five minutes after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins.

Following the instructor's instructions, we quickly changed into our wetsuits and got ready. I was so excited, but since we were dealing with nature, I knew that being unprepared could be dangerous. I calmly listened to the instructor's explanations and prepared myself.

Once we were ready, we entered the water one by one as instructed. It was my first experience with snorkeling, so I was initially scared, but wearing a life jacket helped me get used to it quickly. Once in the water, we swam towards the pod of dolphins. It does require a fair amount of stamina.

Since the dolphins are constantly moving, staying close to the instructor makes it easier to encounter the pods.

I missed the first pod of dolphins, but when the next one appeared, I stayed close to the instructor and was able to see the dolphins clearly.

The wild dolphins were incredibly mystical, cute, and moving.

After seeing the dolphins, we moved to a spot with lots of colorful tropical fish for snorkeling. Here, in addition to snorkeling, those who wanted could also enjoy activities like paddle surfing. I decided to stick with snorkeling this time.

We were also lucky to encounter a sea turtle and swim alongside it. It felt like we were swimming right next to each other.

After finishing snorkeling, we returned to the boat, changed out of our wetsuits, and prepared to head back to the port.

On the way back, we saw several sea turtles.

During the ride back to the port, we had a great time eating hamburgers, singing and dancing with the instructors and other participants, and enjoying the scenery.

Once we arrived at the port, we took a group photo and boarded the bus for the return trip. On the bus, those who wanted could purchase the photos taken by the photographer who accompanied us that day.

We were able to return to the hotel by early afternoon, making good use of our time.

Participating in this tour was a very memorable experience, especially since we were blessed with good weather and conditions. My wife and I both said it was the most fun we had during our trip to Hawaii. If we have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again in the future, we definitely want to participate again.

そこそこ体力も必要になるかと思います。

イルカも常に移動してるので、インストラクターの方の近くにいるとイルカの群れに遭遇しやすいかと思います。

私は最初のイルカの群れは見ることが出来ませんでしたが、次に現れたイルカの群れの時はインストラクターの方の近くに付きイルカの群れをしっかりと見ることができました。

野生のイルカの群れはとても神秘的で可愛くて感動しました。

イルカを見た後は、場所を移動しカラフルな熱帯魚がたくさんいるところでシュノーケリングを行います。
ここではシュノーケリングの他にも、希望者はパドルサーフィンなどのアクティビティで遊ぶことができます。
私は今回はアクティビティは行わず、ずっとシュノーケリングをすることにしました。

ここでもラッキーなことにウミガメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ものすごく距離が近く隣で一緒に泳いでいるって感覚です。

こちらでのシュノーケリングが終わったあとは船に戻り、ウェットスーツなど着替え、帰る準備をし、港へ向けて出発します。

港へ向かうあいだにも何匹もウミガメがいました。

港までの時間は、ハンバーガーを食べたり、インストラクターの方々と、ツアーの参加者みんなで歌ったり踊ったり、景色を眺めたり、ずっと有意義に過ごすことができます。

港へ着くと最後にみんなで記念撮影をし、帰りのバスに乗り込みます。
帰りのバスでは本日同行してくれたカメラマンの方が撮影したデータを、希望者は買うことができます

昼過ぎにはホテルへ戻ることができるので、時間を有効に使うことができます。

今回参加してみて、天候やコンディションに恵まれたこともあり、とても思い出深い経験をすることができました。
私と妻も、今回のハワイ旅行の中で1番楽しかったと言っています。
また今後ハワイに行く機会がありましたら、ぜひまた参加したいと考えています。

迷っている方が居ましたら、1度参加してみると素晴らしい感動や体験が待っているのでオススメします。

I was able to meet a dolphin! イルカに会えました⋆

Reviewed by: ゆいまーる

After about 15 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the spot where the dolphins are. We quickly put on our masks and fins and dove in! There were really so many dolphins welcoming us. I think there were more than 20. We briefly drifted away, but they came back to us, and as the instructor mentioned, the dolphins all seemed to be swimming relaxed. They even came right up to us, which was very moving! If I could wish for anything, it would be to swim with them a bit longer. It was so much fun that the time felt really short.

After swimming with the dolphins, we moved a little to a spot with lots of fish and enjoyed snorkeling. They seemed used to people and didn’t escape even when we got close. We also enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding! Afterward, we all had cheeseburgers and pineapple. As the boat was returning to the port, the dolphins came back toward us and showed us some dolphin jumps. It really felt like they were seeing us off. Finally, we danced the hula, and I was very satisfied! Even now that I’m back home, I can’t get the hula dance song out of my head!

船に乗り15分ぐらいでイルカ先生のいるスポットに到着しました。すぐにマスクとフィンを取り付け潜水！本当にたくさんのイルカ先生達がお出迎えしてくれました。20頭以上はいたのではないかと思います。一度離れてしまいましたがまた戻ってきてくれ、インストラクターの方も言ってましたがイルカ先生達はみんなリラックスして泳いでいるようでした。目の前に来てくれることもあり、とても感動しました！欲を言えばもっと一緒に泳ぎたかったな〜〜。楽しくて本当に時間が短く感じました。
イルカ先生と泳いだ後は、魚がたくさんいくところへ少し移動。シュノーケルを楽しみました。人に慣れているのか触れそうになっても全然逃げない。。カヤックやSUPも楽しみました！終わった後はみんなでチーズバーガーとパイナップルを食べました。船が港に戻ろうとするとまたイルカ先生たちがこちらに向かって来てくれドルフィンジャンプを見せてくれました。本当にお見送りしてくれてるかのようでした。最後はフラダンスを踊ってとっても満足で
す！帰国した今もフラダンスの歌が頭から離れません笑。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Beyond my imagination! 想像以上！

Reviewed by: みなみこ

The sea was blue, the sunlight sparkled, the dolphins were cute, and I felt like I wanted to swim forever. Also, all the staff members were really great. I had two close calls due to my mistakes, but both times they kindly helped me out, which was a huge relief...

海が青くて、太陽の光がキラキラ、イルカはかわいいし、もうずっと泳いでいたい気持ちになりました。
また、スタッフさんみなさんとってもよかったです。
私のミスでピンチが２回もありましたが、両方ご厚意でフォローしていただき、とても助かりました・・・。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins. イルカたくさん見れました

Reviewed by: miyy&taka

I have been to Hawaii several times and previously participated in a dolphin school. At that time, I was able to meet the dolphin instructor, but I could hardly see them for a moment. So, this time I enrolled in university for a second chance.

The weather was great, and on the bus ride there, a cheerful lady talked about the dolphin instructor and important notes in a fun way. Her enthusiasm for dolphins was contagious, and I got excited to swim with the dolphin instructor!

Once we boarded the boat, I didn't feel seasick and enjoyed a comfortable cruise. It felt a bit long as we struggled to find the dolphin instructor, but when we finally spotted them, everyone was super excited! We jumped into the sea one after another! Many children participated in the tour, and the staff helped the little ones into the water, pulling them along with floaties, which made it feel safe and enjoyable for families.

When the dolphin instructor approached, the staff shouted, "Look down!" so we swam desperately in that direction. Then, right below us was a pod of dolphins! I couldn't believe how many there were! I was so moved that I forgot to take videos at first and just stared in awe.

After that, we went snorkeling. There weren't many colorful fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful, clear sea. When we got back on the boat, I was hungry and the cheeseburger was really delicious!

A photographer accompanied us and took various pictures, but we couldn't take photos with our own cameras or smartphones, possibly because they wanted us to purchase the photos. I would have loved to take casual pictures with the staff.

I only caught a glimpse of a turtle for a moment, which was disappointing, but meeting so many dolphin instructors became a wonderful memory! On the way back, I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep and have no recollection of it (laughs).

If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join this tour!

Hawaiiには何度か行った事があり、以前イルカ中学校に参加した事がありました。その時にもイルカ先生には会えたのですが、一瞬でほとんど見えませんでした。なので、今回はリベンジに大学に入学しました。
お天気もよくて、行きのバスの中で元気なお姉さんがイルカ先生についてや、注意事項を楽しく話してくださって、イルカが大好きで熱心な様子も伝わり、早くイルカ先生と泳ぎたい！とテンション上がりました。
船に乗ってからは船酔いもなく、快適なクルージング。
なかなかイルカ先生が見つからず少し長く感じましたが、いざイルカ先生が見つかったらみんなテンションMax‼️
次々に海へ！ツアーにはお子様もたくさん参加していて、小さい子はスタッフの方が一緒に海に入ってくれて海の中でも浮き輪で引っ張ってくれたり、子連れでも安心して楽しめる印象でした。
イルカ先生が近づいてきてくらたら、スタッフが「下見て～！」と叫んでくれるので、必死にそちら側へ泳ぎます。そうすると、真下をイルカ先生の群れが～
こんなにたくさんいるなんて！ホントに感動で、最初は動画とるのも忘れるくらいにただボーっと眺めていました。
その後はシュノーケリングもしました。あんまりカラフルな魚はいなかったけど、透き通った綺麗な海で楽しめました。船にあがったら、チーズバーガーお腹もすいてて、すごく美味しかったです‼️
写真は、カメラマンさんが同行していて、いろんな写真を撮ってくれていましたが、その写真を購入してほしいからか、自分たちのカメラやスマホでは写真を撮ってもらえませんでした。スタッフの方との写真が気軽に撮れたら嬉しかったです。
カメさんは、1匹一瞬しか見えなかったので残念でしたが、たくさんのイルカ先生に会えたのはいい思い出になりました！
帰りのバスは疲れて爆睡で記憶がありません(笑)
また、Hawaiiに行く機会があればぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーでした。

I was very satisfied with Dolphin University! 大満足だったイルカ大学♪

Reviewed by: ゆうきこうき

During our recent trip to Hawaii, we finally got to participate in a tour with wild dolphins at Dolphin University, which we had been looking forward to. We were a family of four, and I was a bit nervous about whether we would encounter dolphins, especially since I had my 5-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter with me. However, we were fortunate enough to come across a large pod, and my son, who was snorkeling for the second time, was incredibly excited to see them. He enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking until the very end! We were thoroughly satisfied with the warm support from the staff, and I definitely want to join this tour again on our next trip to Hawaii! I highly recommend it!!!

この度のハワイ旅行で、念願の野生イルカとのツアーで【名門イルカ大学】にヒットし、家族四人で参加させてもらいました。
イルカに遭遇できるか？５才の息子と９才の娘と一緒だったため、小さな子どもたちでもちゃんと見れるか？ドキドキでしたが、見事大きな大群に出逢えてシュノーケル２回目だった５才の息子も大群を見ることが出来て大興奮でしたし、一番最後までシュノーケルもカヤックも楽しんでました！スタッフの方々のあたたかいサポートにも終始大満足で、次回のハワイ旅行の時にも是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした！超～オススメですよ！！！！！

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

Relaxing Sail

Reviewed by: doraemon

Was a really nice and relaxing sail. Everyone was really nice. Snorkelling gear and floatation vests were provided. Packet snacks like chips and candy were provided on board. You just have to pay for drinks (even bottled water). I would suggest bringing your own water.

4.5-Hour Morning Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks from Kaanapali

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Silmara Grentz

Our captain Mark along with Nick and Emily made of this a fantastic experience. It was fun, great music, good food and more importantly we felt safe and taken care of the whole time. Getting on and off the catamaran at the beach was an interesting experience but it just added fun to the whole thing. Our tour was not packed and that added personalization from the crew. The snorkeling was beautiful. Saw turtles and so many different fishes.
