Due to maintenance at Dolphin Middle School's port, I was upgraded to Dolphin University for free and participated.
After seeing sea turtles and enjoying marine activities, we went to see the dolphins. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I was able to see many dolphins swimming close to the boat in beautiful weather, which was a valuable experience.
If you are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
I had a great time, and I would like to join another tour next time!
イルカ中学のポートがメンテナンスになったということで、無料でイルカ大学にグレードアップいただき、参加しました。
ウミガメを見たりマリンアクティビティを楽しんだあと、イルカを見に行きました。
残念ながら私は水中でイルカを見られませんでしたが、良いお天気の中ボートのすぐ近くを泳ぐイルカをたくさん見ることができ、貴重な経験になりました。
船酔いしやすい方は、酔い止め必須です。
楽しかったです、次はまた別のツアーにも参加したいです!

Our meeting was at 7:30 AM, and when we arrived, there were many participants gathered, which really got us excited. Once we reached Molokini Island, we quickly went snorkeling. It was the clearest water I've ever swum in (though I don't have that much experience). My partner was snorkeling for the first time, but they gradually got the hang of it, and we both enjoyed watching the fish together. At the second spot, we were thrilled to encounter a sea turtle swimming by. Eating a hamburger on the boat while battling the wind was also a great memory. Even in August, I felt a bit cold towards the end of our swim, but it wasn't cold enough to need to borrow a wetsuit. It was a tour that was definitely enjoyable for snorkeling beginners!
朝7:30の集合でしたが、着いてみたら参加者がたくさん集まっていてテンションが上がりました。モロキニ島に着いたら早速シュノーケリング。今まで泳いだ海の中で(といってもそんなに経験があるわけではありませんが)一番透明度が高かったです。相方は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが徐々にコツを掴み、2人で魚鑑賞を楽しめました。2か所目のスポットではウミガメが泳いでいる姿にも出会えて感動でした。船上で風と戦いながら食べたハンバーガーも良い思い出です。8月でも泳いでいる最後の方は少し寒さを感じましたがウエットスーツを借りるほどではなかったです。シュノーケリング初心者にとっては充分楽しめるツアーでした!

You can only touch the dolphins a little and feed them from outside the pool. Also, I thought "observer" meant that the children could observe (watch) the dolphins, but that wasn't the case. We couldn't even enter the area where the attraction takes place. I wish they had used different wording.
プールの外からイルカに少し触ったりエサを上げる程度です。あと、observerというのは言葉の通り子供たちがイルカに触るのをオブザーブ(観察する)ことができるのかと思ったら違いました。アトラクション実施するエリアに入ることすらできませんでした。違う言葉を使ってほしかったです

I participated because it was cheaper than similar tours. It was a snorkeling trip off the coast of the hotels in Waikiki. We saw as many as five sea turtles up close. Since it wasn't a coral reef, there were fewer fish. The catamaran cruise while listening to music was the best. There were only foreigners, and I didn't understand English, but it was totally fine. One drink was free. I was worried about getting to the location, so I reserved a round-trip taxi at JCB Plaza, and it was a flat rate of $22 one way from Sheraton Waikiki, including tips. It's a good idea to check the location of pier D on the map provided by the tour when you make your reservation.
同じようなツアーの中でも安かったので参加しました。ワイキキのホテル群の沖合でのシュノーケリングでした。海亀は間近で見られたものを含めて5匹もいました。サンゴ礁では無いのでお魚は少なめです。音楽を聞きながらのカタマランでのクルーズは最高でした。外国人ばかりで英語はわからなかったけど全然OKでした。アルコールは1杯タダでした。現地までの移動が不安だったのでJCBプラザで往復のタクシーを予約してシェラトンカイウラニからチップ込み定額片道22ドルでした。集合場所のpierDの場所は予約時にツアーから届く埠頭の地図で確認しておくと良いです。

I was worried because there were no Japanese speakers available, but there was no problem enjoying the activities themselves (I think it would have been even more fun if I could understand the English explanations). My family had a great time, especially the kids who were very satisfied! One of the other groups on board looked quite miserable from seasickness, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
日本語を話す方がいない時間帯だったので心配でしたが、アクティビティを楽しむこと自体に問題はなく(たぶん英語の説明が分かればもっと楽しかったと思いますが)、家族で楽しんできました。とくに子どもが大満足でした!同乗していた別グループの方は、船に酔ってずっと辛そうだったので、酔い止め持参がオススメです。

It was a day with cloudy skies, but with occasional glimpses of sunshine.
I participated in the Dolphin Encounter, and interacting with the dolphins was a great experience; my 6-year-old son seemed to enjoy it as well. However, the temperature and water temperature weren't very high, and towards the end, it started to get a bit chilly. This is really dependent on the weather, so I haven't included it in my evaluation.
Since it was my first time interacting with dolphins and I had never done it in Japan, I can't compare experiences, but honestly, I think Japanese aquariums and similar places are better in other aspects after the experience.
The area isn't very large, so you have to wait quite a bit until it's time to leave.
Personally, my satisfaction level relative to the price was a bit low, which is why I gave this rating.
晴れ間がたまに見れる曇り空の1日でした。
ドルフィンエンカウンターに参加し、イルカとの触れ合い自体は良い体験で、6歳の息子も楽しそうでした。
ただ、やはり気温も水温もそれほど高くなく、最後の方はちょっと寒くなりかけてました。
こればかりは天候次第なので、評価の良し悪しには含めてません。
イルカとの触れ合いは初めてで日本でもしたことが無かったので経験値の比較は出来ませんが、体験後のそれ以外は正直日本の水族館等の方が良いかなと思います。
敷地も全然広く無いので、帰りの時間までまあまあ待ちます。
個人的には値段に対しての満足度はちょっと低かったので、この評価です。

Since we had small children (6 years old), I was worried about whether they would be scared or cause any trouble, but Ken, a Japanese guide, was very kind to us throughout the experience, which turned out to be incredibly valuable. Both kids keep saying, "We saw dolphins! We swam with turtles!" as their top memories from Hawaii. We were able to see many dolphin jumps, and we swam so close to the turtles that it was hard to avoid getting too close. The children were thrilled and eagerly put on their goggles to dive into the sea from the boat, completely disregarding their parents' worries. Before joining the tour, I had some anxiety about bringing the kids, but I'm really glad we participated! Thank you very much for your support. The kids said, "We want to go again!" so we will definitely return! Thank you in advance.
小さい子ども(6才)もいたので、怖がらないか、迷惑をかけないか、大丈夫か不安でしたが、日本人のけんさんに終始良くしていただき、大変貴重な経験をさせていただきました。

イルカのジャンプもたくさん見られ、カメとは、近寄らないようにと逃げるのが大変なほど近くで泳げました。

I participated in Dolphin Aloha. I was able to touch the dolphins, which was a first experience for me. Such interactions are not something you can usually experience, so my child was very happy. The park isn't very large, but we enjoyed feeding the little birds and the sea lions throughout the day. Since we left at 2:00 PM, it was just right to do some shopping in Waikiki afterward.
ドルフィンアロハに参加しました。イルカを触らしてもらえ、初の体験でした。こんなふれあいは普段体験できないので、子供がとても喜んでいました。パークはそれほど大きくないですが、小鳥への餌やりや、アシカの餌付けなど1日楽しめました。帰りは14:00だったので、パーク後はワイキキでショッピングできたのでちょうどよかったです。

【Overview】
Since it was an English tour, I was the only Japanese participant, but there were no difficult explanations, and I could understand to some extent through gestures. They brought water without me having to ask, and they were considerate since I was alone. There were many families from various countries, so I think families can participate without feeling too pressured.
【Sea Turtles】
There were many tour boats around, so it was necessary to keep an eye on my tour instructor. It was possible to get out early if I got tired. It felt like a lot of people crowded around the spots where the sea turtles were, but it was easy to confirm where the turtles were since you could see where the people were.
The sea turtles floated and sank freely, and I could watch them. However, touching them is prohibited, and the instructor repeatedly reminded us of this, so as long as we followed that rule, it was a comfortable tour.
【概要】
英語ツアーなので日本人は自分1人でしたが、難しい解説はなく、身振り手振りである程度理解できます。お水も言わずとも持ってきてくれたり、1人なので気を遣ってくださいました。いろんな国からの家族連れが多かったので、家族で参加するならあまり気負わずに参加出来ると思います。
【ウミガメ】
周りにもたくさんのツアーの船が多く、自分のツアーのインストラクターさんを見失わないようにする必要はあります。疲れて途中で上がるのは可能でした。
ウミガメがいるスポットに大勢押しかけて見る感じでしたが、人がいる所がウミガメのいる所と分かるので、確認はしやすいです。
ウミガメは自由に浮いたり沈んだりして、それを眺めたりできました。ただし、触るのは禁止なのでインストラクターさんが繰り返し伝えてくれるので、それさえ守れば快適なツアーです。

I could only see two types of fish, but there was enough time for snorkeling. It’s better to rent a wetsuit for $10 per person since the water temperature is low and you can’t swim for long, but I was right not to rent one. I was able to swim for the entire time, which was great. My 8-year-old daughter had the most fun. The hamburger was also filling, and my grandmother was happy that we chose this activity.
魚は2種類しか見えなかったが、シュノーケルの時間も十分。一人10ドルでウェットスーツを借りた方が良い、水温は低いから長い間泳げないと言われたが、借りなくて正解でした。時間いっぱい泳げたので、良かったです。8歳の娘が一番楽しんでました。ハンバーグも食べ応えあり、このアクティビティを選んで良かったと祖母も喜んでました。

We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.
The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.
小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。

I was worried about the high prices due to the weak yen, but I chose this plan because it has Japanese staff and allows participation for elderly people as well. I confirmed the days when Japanese staff would be on board in advance on the official Manta University website before making my reservation. The day before, about 20 mantas showed up, but on the day of our participation, there were only 3 or 4. However, the sight of them opening their mouths wide and doing flips up close was a wonderful experience that you can't have in other regions. The Japanese staff provided excellent support, and I was grateful that they shared the manta images taken with the GoPro. However, it seems that participating as an observer didn't have much meaning, so it might be fine to wait at the hotel instead (I'm not sure if waiting at the store is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it since it would be unattended). We used Uber for the round trip, but on the return, we waited about 20 minutes in the darkness, with only the faint light from the store reaching us. If you can tolerate that, there were no problems at all. Depending on the location of the hotel, plans with transportation can be quite expensive. By the way, we were the only ones using Uber.
円安で高いため悩みましたが、小学校低学年の子供と参加するため、日本人スタッフがいる点、また,高齢者も居るため、見学参加できる点でこのプランを選びました。日本人スタッフが乗船する曜日は予めマンタ大学の公式サイトで確認してから申し込みました。前日は20枚ほどのマンタがきてくれたそうですが、参加日は3、4枚でした。が、近くで大きく口を開けてクルクル宙返りをくりかえす様子は、他の地域では体験できない素晴らしい時間でした。日本人スタッフが甲斐甲斐しくサポートをしてくださったし、GOproで撮ったマンタの画像を共有してくださり、有り難かったです。ただし、見学参加はあまり意味がなかったようですので、ホテル待機でも良さそうです(店舗での待機が可能かはわかりませんが、無人になるのでオススメしません)。往復ウーバータクシーにしましたが、復路は、店舗の灯りがほのかに届くだけの暗闇で20分ほど配車を待ちました。それを許容できるのであれば、全く問題はなかったです。ホテルの場所によっては送迎付きプランはかなり高くつくので。ちなみにウーバー利用は私たちだけでした。

I left my hotel near Waikiki at 6:30 AM to meet at the location by 8:30 AM. I thought the shuttle service was a bit expensive, so I took an Uber taxi instead (it cost about 8,000 yen one way).
I arrived at the location in about an hour. It was mentioned that there would be a restroom, but there was no toilet paper and it was extremely dirty, so please keep that in mind when using the facilities. (laughs)
There were a total of 12 members in our group. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes. Since all shoes can be placed together in a basket, I recommend wearing sandals or something that you don’t mind getting dirty.
After reading reviews from others, I took motion sickness medication before going. After about 15 minutes on the boat, I got seasick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared.
When we reached the area where sharks are spotted, we were divided into two groups: the first half and the second half entered the water. By the way, there was no one among the staff or participants who spoke Japanese. (laughs)
The captain explained the safety instructions in English. He asked if I was from Japan and then handed me a written explanation in Japanese. I can’t speak any English, but surprisingly, I managed just fine. (laughs)
They provide snorkeling gear for free. However, some people brought their own. Since the snorkeling gear is shared, if you’re uncomfortable with that, it’s better to bring your own.
The tour was more fun than I expected, with plenty of sharks around. The time flew by. If it weren’t for the seasickness, I would want to participate again and again. However, since the seasickness was quite severe, I rated it one star lower than the maximum. I returned by bus (it cost about 1,000 yen for two people).
8時半に現地集合のため、朝の6時半にワイキキ付近の宿泊ホテルを出ました。送迎してもらうプランが料金が少し高いと思ったので、Uberタクシーで自力で行きました。(行きのみで約8000円ほどでした)
1時間ほどで現地に到着。現地にトイレがあると書いてありましたが、トイレットペーパーがなくてトイレも壊滅的に汚い為、それを頭に入れてトイレを使ってください。(笑)
メンバーは全員で12人でした。船に乗る前に履物を脱ぎます。籠に全員分まとめて入れられるので、汚れてもいいようなサンダル等を履いてきたほうがいいと思います。
他の方の口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んでいきました。船に揺られて15分ほど、見事に酔いました。船酔いしやすい方は覚悟していってください。
サメの出没するポイントにつくと2つのグループに分けられました。前半組と後半組で海に入りました。
ちなみに日本語をしゃべれる人はスタッフと参加者で誰もいませんでした。(笑)
キャプテンが注意事項等、英語で説明してくれます。ジャパン?と聞かれ、その後日本語で書いてある説明書を渡してくれました。まったく英語を喋れませんが、意外と何とかなります。(笑)
シュノーケリングは無料で貸してくれます。ですが、自分で持ってきてる人もいました。使い回しのシュノーケリングなので、嫌な方は自分で持ってきたほうがいいです。
ツアー自体は思った以上にサメがうようよいてとても楽しかったです。
あっという間の時間でした。
船酔いがなければ何度でも参加したいです。
でも船酔いが相当きつかったので、星は最高点より1つマイナスにしました。
帰りはバスで帰りました。(2人で約1000円くらい)

At 6:15 PM, we gathered at the harbor. The only restroom available is a nearby public toilet, which is not very clean. We boarded the boat and headed to a nearby point. There will be a briefing on the boat, but I think it will be manageable even if you don't understand English. It takes about fifteen minutes to reach the point. They provide masks and snorkels, but they are not prescription, so I recommend that those with poor eyesight bring their own masks. We descend into the sea from the back of the boat. Holding a buoy about a meter long, we swim to a metal bar fixed on the surface. There, we place the buoy on the tops of our feet and hold onto the metal bar to float parallel to the water's surface. Looking down, you can see the light shining downwards. After a while, a manta ray swims up towards the surface. It feels like it's coming right at you, which is quite impressive. However, some people might feel scared as the manta approaches in the dark. Small children might be frightened. We maintain this position for about an hour. I felt that twenty minutes was enough for me at first. The remaining forty minutes felt quite long. After floating on the surface for about an hour, we returned to the boat, used the restroom on board, and had a drink before disembarking. I think we disembarked just after 8 PM. It takes about an hour to return to Waikoloa from there, so we would get back to Waikoloa before 10 PM, and I think the driver will be quite tired. Still, I was satisfied with the impressive manta rays.
夕方六時十五分。ハーバーに集合。トイレは近くの公衆トイレのみ。きれいではない。乗船して近くのポイントに行く。船の中でブリーフィングをするが、英語が分からなくても何とかなると思う。十五分ほどの移動でポイントにつく。マスクとシュノーケルは貸してくれるが、度付きではないので、視力が悪い人は自分のマスクを用意することをお勧めする。船の後部から海に降りる。一メートルほどの長さの浮き具をもって水上に固定してある金属製のバーまで泳ぐ。そこで浮き具を足の甲において、両手は金属製のバーを持ち水面に平行になるように浮く。下を眺めるとライトが下方向に照らしているのが分かる。しばらくするとマンタが下から海面に向かって泳いでくる。こちらに向かってくるような感じがして迫力がある。ただひとによっては暗い中でマンタがやってくるので恐怖を感じるかもしれない。小さい子供だと怖がるかもしれない。この体制を一時間ほどする。私は最初の二十分で十分と感じた。残りの四十分は結構長く感じた。一時間ほど海面に浮いてから船に戻り、船の中でトイレを済ませて、飲み物を飲んでから下船した。下船したのは八時過ぎだとおもう。ここからワイコロアまで一時間ほどかかって帰るので、ワイコロアに戻るのは十時前になり、運転手は結構疲れると思う。それでも迫力のあるマンタには満足した。

Jenna and her crew were fantastic. They ensured we had a wonderful time sailing, snorkeling, and just an all-around fun time on the water. If your looking for good look no further. If you're heading to Hawaii for vacation I just want a quick day of snorkeling Turtle sightings and multitudes of fish you have to go with Jenna's crew

The crew was amazing, and the snorkeling was great. I was scared at first but they did their best to make me feel comfortable and they were so patient and kind. I’m so glad I got to experience this with This particular group. They’re passionate and knowledgeable and paid attention to everyone’s safety. Highly recommend renting a wetsuit jacket and an underwater camera from them. Well worth it!
One of the best experiences on our Maui trip
Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us! We hope to see you again soon.

Awsome trip. I'm 66 and would never scuba dive or even snorkel. The sub let me see all the colorful fish, and even a shark underwater. They were all over the sunken ship. So much more wonderful than watching a movie.
Aloha Glenda!
Thank you for sharing your review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring over 100 feet under the sea with Atlantis Adventures! We appreciate your kind words.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise.
Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).

I made a reservation for the daytime course. It was good that I could see things from a distance several times. However, the guidance for the boarding area was not clear, and everyone participating was looking for it. This point needs improvement.
昼間のコースに予約。何回か遠くに見ることはできたのでよかった。乗り場の案内がはっきりしていなくて、参加の皆様も探している状況でした。この点は改善が必要。

I participated at the end of January 2024. The weather on the day was perfect, but unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We only caught a glimpse of one from a distance, but not everyone in my family was able to see it. At the end, tickets for another boat ride were distributed, but we couldn't accept them due to our travel schedule. This is just how nature is, so there's nothing we can do about it.
2024年1月末に参加させていただきました。当日の天気は申し分なかったのですが、結局クジラはほぼ見えませんでした。一度だけ遠目に見えたのですが、家族全員が見るというのはかないませんでした。最後にもう一度乗船できるチケットが配られましたが、我が家は旅程の関係上いただきませんでした。こればかりは自然相手なので仕方がありませんね。
Thank you very much for bringing your family aboard the Star of Honolulu. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales, but we are confident that you enjoyed the beautiful early morning cruise. We hope to welcome you back next time. All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号御家族皆様でにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。残念ながら鯨の観測が見られなかったとのことでしたが、お天気の良い早朝クルーズをを楽しめたかと確信しております。是非ともまた次回お越しください。スタッフ一同お待ちしております。

First, they take photos for you, and you can purchase them before disembarking at the end. All the photos are beautifully edited, so we bought the entire set.
You can have the best experience without getting wet or dirty. We saw a lot of beautiful fish.
It was also fun to see the submarine coming up to the surface for the first time!
We didn't specifically download the Japanese audio guide, but we were busy enjoying the underwater scenery, so it was fine without the audio guidance.
最初に写真を撮影してくれるのですが、最後下船前に購入可能です。どの写真もとても素敵に加工してくれているので、うちは全セットで購入しました。
水に濡れたり汚れる事もなく、最高の体験が出来ます。沢山綺麗な魚が見られました。
潜水艦が水面に上がってくる姿も初めて見たので楽しかったです!
日本語音声ガイドはうちは特にダウンロードはしませんでしたが、
海中の景色を見るのに忙しく、特に音声案内は無くても大丈夫でした。
アロハ!
ハワイのユニークで美しい場所(ワイキキ)を探検して楽しんでいただけたことをとても嬉しく思います。アトランティスアドベンチャーズでの楽しい時間を共有していただき、ありがとうございます。将来的に私たちの潜水艦やアトランティスクルーズのマジェスティックに再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。またのアトランティスアドベンチャー、つまり水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラ観察クルーズをお楽しみください。ぜひ、#atlantishawaiiで私たちのソーシャルメディアをフォローしてください。アフイホウ(次回まで)。

The staff was fun and kept us all in good spirits!
Not everyone in my party was comfortable in the water but the staff came around and kept checking on them until they relaxed.
The sight of the Mantas was unbelievable!!!

Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We also apologize for the maintenance of the Dolphin Middle School boat. On the day you participated, the guide reported that there was a baby dolphin in the pod, making it difficult to see dolphins underwater. Despite this, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed dolphin watching from the boat, snorkeling with sea turtles, and the activities. Please do take advantage of our repeat visitor discount when you come back to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to having you join our tour again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! おしん様。この度はイルカ大学に参加していただき、誠にありがとうございます。またイルカ中学のボートがメンテナンスとなり申し訳ございませんでした。ご参加いただいた日は、イルカの群れに赤ちゃんがいて水中でイルカを見ることが難しかったとガイドから報告がありました。そんな中でも船からのイルカ・ウォッチング、ウミガメとのシュノーケリングやアクティビティを楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。ぜひ、またハワイにいらっしゃる際にはリピーター割引を利用して遊びに来てくださいね。おしん様が弊社のツアーにまたご参加してただけることを心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
