I was hoping that Sea Life Park would have a bit more content. However, I was satisfied to be able to play with the dolphins. I wish the playtime could be longer!

シーライフパークはもう少し内容が充実しているかな？と思っていました。
でも、イルカと遊べて満足です。もっと遊べる時間が長いといいのになあー！と思いました。

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

Hmm! A little more... う～ん！もう少し・・・

Reviewed by: コッコ

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...

However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!

Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!

何度目かのハワイで、ホエールウォッチングの設定がある時でしたので、期待して申込ました。
ホノルルからさほど離れていない場所で潮を吹くところや尾びれをちらっと見せたりと見ることは出来ましたが、ジャンプするとかは無く優雅に泳いでる感じで迫力に欠けたかなという事で、う～ん！少し残念・・・
でも、お天気も良く船酔いする心配もなく、周りにいた船のなかでは一番大きくてカッコイイスターオブホノルル号でした！
次回はぜひジャンプを身にリベンジしたいです。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

The Turtles Invite You to Their Party

Reviewed by: Marisa

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

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＞

It became a very good memory. とてもいい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: ともひろ

Going to Hawaii and meeting dolphins was a completely new experience for me. When I think of Hawaii, I think of the "beautiful ocean," and I had a strong desire to see "wild dolphins" in that stunning, vast sea, so I signed up for this option.

On the way to the harbor, the guide explained the diving location and the types of dolphins we would encounter. They also briefly talked about the city and its tourist attractions. The guide was Japanese, very cheerful, straightforward, and easy to talk to.

Once we arrived at the harbor, to avoid wasting time, a lecture was held on the bus. We learned how to put on life jackets and how to signal in case of an emergency. Thanks to the prior instructions, I was able to smoothly determine what to do upon arrival at the harbor. Additionally, I was asked on the bus whether I wanted to wear a wetsuit, which I learned could also serve as a warm layer, so I decided to wear it. My husband chose not to wear one, but since the weather was nice, he didn't feel cold afterward. There were no issues with sunburn either.

Upon arriving at the harbor and boarding a small boat, there were two staff members: one was a photographer and the other was the captain, both of whom spoke a bit of Japanese and were improving their language skills day by day. After a few minutes of sailing, we reached our destination and witnessed something large jumping out of the water. Yes, it was the dolphins we were looking for.

Not just one, but dozens of dolphins were leaping and showing off their presence while waiting for us. Excited, we immediately jumped into the sea. We had an agreement to always stay close to the guide and to signal immediately if anything happened.

When we dove in, it wasn't the dolphins coming to us; we were the ones going to find them, searching desperately underwater. The guide went ahead to the location where the dolphins were and signaled us, and we swam towards them. When we got close to the guide, we could see a group of dolphins (dozens of them) swimming gracefully. It was difficult to approach them, and we could only observe from about three meters away, swimming alongside them. Some lucky individuals had dolphins come close enough to touch, reaching out their hands.

According to the guide, there are times when the dolphins swim slowly and times when they swim quickly. After all, they are wild dolphins... We had two chances to dive and meet the dolphins! During the first attempt, I could barely keep up with the guide. When we reached the area where the dolphins were, they disappeared quickly, and I couldn't see them well. After returning to the boat and moving to a different location, we had a second chance! By the second attempt, I had gotten used to swimming with the fins on my feet. I was able to reach the guide more easily, increasing the number of times I saw the dolphins and allowing me to swim with them a lot. The dolphins also swam in groups, and we could see five or six at a time. While diving nearby, I could even hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyu-kyu." I was able to swim alongside them, matching their direction, and I was extremely satisfied!

ハワイへ行くこと、イルカに会いに行くこと、全て初めての体験でした。
ハワイと言えば「きれいな海」そんなきれいな広い海で「野生のイルカ」が見てみたいと言う強い気持ちを持ちこのオプションに申し込みました。

港へ行くまでは、バスの中でガイドさんが当日潜る海の場所やイルカの種類の説明。また、市内について(観光名所)を軽く話してくださいました。ガイドさんは日本人の方で、とても明るく、サバサバしていて、とても話しやすかったです。

港に着いてからモタモタし、時間を無駄にしてしまわない為に、バスの中で、レクチャーが行われました。
ライフジャケットの付け方、緊急時に備えてのサインの出し方。事前に教えてくださったお蔭で、港に着いてまずは何をしなくてはいけないのか自分で判断することができスムーズに行動ができました。それと、バスの中でウエットスーツを着るか着ないかを聞かれ、防寒着にもなると言うのも聞いたので私は着用しました。夫の方は着用はしませんでしたが、天気も良かった為もあり、終了後も寒がることなく過ごせました。日焼けの方も問題はなかったです。

港に着き、小型船に乗ると、スタッフさんがあと２人。その方々は外人の方で、１人はカメラマンさんで、もう１人は船長さんでした。片言の日本語を話し、日に日に日本語が上手になっているそうですｗ
船を走らせること、数分後、目的の場所に着くと、何か大きな物体が飛び跳ねるのを目の当たりに。そう、目的のイルカです。
一頭だけではなく数十頭ものイルカが代わる代わる回転しながら飛び跳ね存在感をアピールして私たちを待っていました。
テンションマックスの私たちはすぐさま海へ。
ここでの約束として、常に団体行動としてガイドさんのそばから離れないこと。何かあったらすぐにサインを送ること。を守りながらイルカに会いにいきました。
潜って見ると、イルカが会いに来てくれるのではなく、私たちがイルカに会いに行くというスタンスで、必死に海の中を探し回りました。また、ガイドさんが先にイルカのいる位置まで行ってくれ、私たちに合図をし、私たちはガイドさん目がけて常に泳いでいました。
ガイドさんのそばに行くとイルカの集団(何十頭)が優雅に泳いでいるのを目にできました。近づくことは難しく３メートルぐらい離れた位置で見れて、一緒に泳ぐという形でした。運がよく自分の近くまでイルカが来てくれたという方もいて、その方は手を伸ばせば触れれる距離だったそうです。
ガイドさん曰く、ゆっくり泳いでくれる時と、スピードが早い時があるみたいです。なんせ、野生のイルカなので。。。
イルカに会いに潜れるチャンスは２回！！一回目はガイドさんについていくのがやっと。イルカのいる場所まで行ってイルカが見えたと思ったらすぐにいなくなってしまい、ゆっくり、じっくりと見えませんでした。一度船に上がり、船の位置を移動してから２回目のチャレンジ！！２回目には足についているフィンで泳ぐことにも慣れてきました。すぐにガイドさんの所にも行けるようになり、イルカを見る回数も増え、たくさん一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカの方も常に団体行動をしており、一回につき５、６頭も見れました。近くで潜っていると、「キュ～キュ～」と言うようなイルカの鳴き声まで耳にできるように。イルカの真上でイルカの泳ぐ向きに合わせ、並走して泳ぐことができ、とってもとっても大満足でした！

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon.

The tour instructor was very friendly, kind, and cheerful. They congratulated us, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations!" and we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout the bus ride.

The captain and the photographer were also very bright and energetic, and we had a truly enjoyable time☆

As for the dolphins, we encountered them surprisingly quickly after boarding. It seems that the dolphins in the area we were guided to tend to swim in groups, and we were able to see nearly 20 dolphins up close! I was really happy and moved because I never expected to see so many dolphins so close.

After that, the captain steered the boat so we could swim with the dolphins again, and we were able to swim near them several times.

Not only that, but I was also able to swim with sea turtles and colorful tropical fish, which made me very satisfied☆

I highly recommend this to everyone going to Hawaii. You will surely have a wonderful experience!

I also want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

Eels are good, but fish too. エイも良いけど魚もね

Reviewed by: haha

The stingray tank is not very deep or wide. It’s perfectly fine if you can’t swim, as life jackets and snorkel masks are provided. Although the explanation was in English, the staff provided instructions in Japanese during our visit.

When entering the pool, you should do so quietly and slowly; kicking your feet is absolutely not allowed as it scares the stingrays and fish away. You should wait in the shallow area, which is the stingrays' pathway, and you can touch the stingrays' fins, but not their bellies or backs.

The smooth and soft texture of the stingrays was very pleasant. Additionally, the experience of feeding the fish was truly moving. The instructor handed me some romaine lettuce, and as soon as I held it, the fish gathered around and started eating it with incredible enthusiasm. I could feel them poking at my fingers. Even though I was just floating and being poked by the fish, I felt very relaxed and healed. This is a tour that you can't easily experience elsewhere, so I highly recommend it.

Lockers are available for $3, but there are benches in the area accessible only to tour participants, so I think you can just leave your things there.

This time, I participated in an activity that started at 1:20 PM. I took the first Waikiki Trolley and arrived around 10 AM. I was able to see both the dolphin show and the sea lion show, which was a lot of fun. Since there is no shade for either show, it’s a good idea to bring a parasol. I changed slowly, fed the birds, and returned on the 2:50 PM trolley. The last stop on the Blue Line is Kahala Mall, where I transferred to the Green Line to return to Waikiki.

I tried Dippin' Dots for the first time at the shop. It’s a strange dessert. Definitely give it a try!

エイの水槽は深く、広くはありません。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルマスク着用の為
泳げなくても全く問題ありません。英語での説明ですが私たちの時は、スタッフの方が日本語で注意事項の説明をしてくれました。

プールに入る時はスリ足で静かに入る事・エイや魚が怖がって寄ってこなくなるのでバタ足は絶対しない事・浅瀬になっている所がエイの通り道なので、その場所で待つ事・エイのヒレに触り、お腹と背中は触らない事という内容でした。

エイの滑らかでソフトな感触は気持ちの良いものでした。
又、その後の魚へのエサやり体験が感動モノでした。
インストラクターからサニーレタスを渡されましたが、手に持った瞬間から、魚たちが集まり
凄い勢いで食べ始めました。私の指にもツンツン突く感触が、伝わりました。
ただ浮いていて、魚にツンツンされただけなのに、とてもリラックスでき、癒されました。
なかなか他では体験できないツアーなのでお勧めです。

ロッカーは３ドルですが、ツアー参加者のみ入るスペースにベンチがあるので、そこに置けば
必要無いと思います。

今回、１時２０分開始のアクティビティに参加しました。
ワイキキトロリー１便でワイキキを出発し１０時頃着きました。
イルカショーとアシカショーも見られました。アシカショーがとっても楽しかったです。
両方とも日影が無いので日傘を持っていくと良いです。ゆっくり着替えをして、鳥に餌をやり２時５０発のトロリーで帰ってきました。ブルーラインの最終停留所はカハラモールなのでここでグリーンラインに乗り換えて、ワイキキに戻りました。

売店で売られているドッピンドッツを初めて食べました。不思議なスイーツです。
是非試してみてください。

Whale Watching Cruise by Star of Honolulu ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　by スターオブホノルル号

Reviewed by: こうとも

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.

2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠～くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。

Best activity on oahu

Husband and daughter loved this trip. It was the highlight of our vacation. This is our 2nd catamaran trip from this harbor but first time with this company. Staff was top notch: knowledgeable about dolphin conservation, friendly, professional. Exceptional all around. My daughter snorkeled with a staff member and he swam to the bottom to get her a shell, cleaned it properly and gave it to her. Husband loved the bar. Only gripe: a lower price should be charged for all under 21 yrs old since they don't get alcohol like the adults do but pay the same price.

I came to Hawaii as part of my work and participated in a dolphin tour that I had been interested in for a while during my free time. The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and fish, and I got to experience kayaking as well. Additionally, there was a mini lesson for hula dancing that I could join! It was a half-day tour, and the staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again. If I had to mention something, the tour photos were available for purchase on a USB for $60, but when I looked at them later, I realized there weren't many of my photos, so while it was a nice keepsake, I felt it wasn't necessary to buy them.

仕事の一環でハワイに来て、自由時間に以前から興味のあるドルフィンツアーに参加しました。朝6時集合と早いですが、ドルフィンだけでなく、ウミガメや魚と一緒に泳ぐことができましたし、カヤックなども体験できます。それから、フラの体験ミニレッスンにも参加できます！半日のツアーですが、スタッフも明るくて楽しかったです。ぜひ、また参加したいです。敢えて言うなら、ツアーの写真をUSBで60ドルで購入できるのですが、後で見たら自分の写真はあまりなかったので、記念にはなりますが購入の必要はなかったかなと思いました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Disappointed

Reviewed by: May

You get a quick instruction on how to get in and get out of the scooter, and they teach you important hand signals. I don't know how to swim and never been underwater so I was extremely nervous. But everyone gets their own instructor so if you're freaking out, they're right there to help you. These guys were nice and never push you past your own comfort zone. I actually freaked out going underwater so my instructor brought me back up for a minute, let me calm down and tried it again. I got to see fish and even a few sea turtles swim by it was awesome!

My main complaint is that the guy taking pictures didn't catch any of this. He didn't take pictures until AFTER the fish swam by. So majority of my pictures that I paid $45 for are just of me in the water with no fish in it. What a waste!!

Now this is a warning for those of you who get motion sickness: I took Dramamine an hour before going out to sea and let me tell you that didn't work. While waiting for other people to have their turn, the boat was moving like crazy and I got seasick. Two other people actually got sick as well.

Overall this was a fun activity and I like that they let you snorkel while waiting for others to have their turn. However, I don't recommend this activity if you are prone to motion sickness.

Tip: Bring your own underwater camera!

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Dragon Palace ☆竜宮城☆

Reviewed by: NENE

On May 7th, I participated with another man. To start with my impressions, it was an absolutely wonderful experience!!

On the day of the event, the sky was overcast from the morning, and I was worried it might rain, but fortunately, by the evening, the sun started to shine, which was a relief. We headed to Honokohau Harbor by rental car. I had been to the harbor before, so I had no issues getting there. However, when I parked next to another car, a woman who seemed to be Japanese approached and asked, "Is this for manta rays?" When I replied "Yes," she told me that I should park on the opposite side instead of where I was. Although the area was spacious, I was instructed to park between the sea and the restroom (in the narrower area). The check-in instructions also mentioned to park between the harbor and the restroom, but when I actually went there, it seemed better to park in the wider area, so caution is needed.

When we arrived at the check-in bench, the woman from earlier informed a foreign captain about us, and he approached me in English. When I mentioned that I couldn't speak English, he greeted me in broken Japanese. He seemed like a kind captain.

After a while, the people for the shuttle service arrived. The driver appeared to be a somewhat flashy Japanese person? (At that point, he was wearing sunglasses and speaking normal Japanese, so I couldn't tell, but he had brown eyes and seemed to be a half-Japanese young man who spoke English fluently. He would be our guide on the boat, and he was really a nice guy. The woman from earlier was no longer around by this time.)

Once all the participants gathered, we adjusted the sizes of our wetsuits and fins. Although it was stated that wetsuits were available for rental upon request, everyone was given one without confirmation on that day. It was mentioned that only those who wanted to could wear fins. Regarding life jackets, there was an explanation later that they would be on the boat, but I think it's better for those who are not confident in swimming to request to wear one at this point.

This time, there were eight Japanese participants, including us, two foreigners, and the captain and guide, making a total of twelve people on a rubber boat-type (though it's a large and sturdy boat, so no worries) speedboat, and we finally set sail. With this number of people, it was spacious enough, but since it was an open type, depending on the wind direction, we might get splashed with water, so it's better to wear clothes that can get wet.

We left the harbor and headed towards a point behind the airport, which is said to be a recent spot. After about 20 minutes of travel, we arrived at the point near the airport and joined another boat. While enjoying the sunset for a while, we received a lecture about manta rays from our guide while waiting for it to get dark. (The information about manta rays at this time was truly fascinating.)

As it started to get dim, we entered the water. The water temperature was about 26°C, so it didn't feel too cold. While holding onto a stick-like buoy, when I reached the board held by the guide, he said, "Mantas are already here!" I hurriedly looked underwater, and there they were, right in front of me!! Excitement and the fact that it had been a while since I last snorkeled made me swallow a bit of water. (Sweat) We were warned beforehand not to touch the mantas, but they were so focused on feeding that they came right up to me without a care. One by one, the mantas increased in number, and at one point, there were six of them right below me at the same time. As I became more comfortable, I started to observe the cute eyes, gills, and the different patterns on their bellies. By this time, the legendary manta "Lefty" also made an appearance.

After enjoying the mantas for a while, the current started to get stronger. Just then, it seemed that the guide was pulling the board for a slight move. Then, what could be called the main event of the day unf

５月７日に男２人で参加してきました。
参加した感想から先に言ってしまえば、大変素晴らしい体験が出来ました！！
当日は朝から雲が厚く、雨が降るのではないかとやきもきしていましたが、幸い夕方頃には光も射してきて一安心。レンタカーでホノコハウハーバーに向かいます。ハーバーには以前行った事が有り、問題無く行かれたのですが、先行者の隣に車を停めたところ日本人らしき女性が近付いて来て、「マンタですか？」と聞かれたので「ハイ」と答えると、車は此処ではなく反対側に停めて下さいとの事。敷地は広々と空いているのですが、海とトイレの間（狭い方）に停めなければならないとの事です。チェックイン場所の案内にもハーバーとトイレの間に停めるよう書いてあるのですが、実際に行ってみると広く空いている方に停めた方が良さそうに思えてしまうので注意が必要ですね。
チェックイン場所のベンチへ行くと、先ほどの女性がキャプテンらしき外人さんに我々の事を伝えてくれ、キャプテンが英語で話掛けてきてくれましたが、英語が出来ない旨伝えると、カタコトの日本語で挨拶をしてくれました。優しそうなキャプテンです。
暫くすると送迎組の人達もやって来ました。送迎の運転手を務めていたのは一見チャラそうな日本人？（この時点ではサングラスを掛け、普通に日本語をしゃべっていたため分からなかったのですが、目は茶色く英語も普通に話すハーフ？だと思われる青年。彼がガイドとして船に乗り込むのですが、実にナイスガイです。先の女性はこの頃には居なくなっていました。）
参加者が揃ったところで、ウエットスーツと足ヒレのサイズを合わせます。ウエットスーツは希望制レンタル…のように書いて有りますが、当日は確認されずに全員に渡されました。足ヒレは希望者のみ装着で構わないとの事。救命胴衣に関しては、後ほど船に積んで有る旨説明は有りますが、泳ぎに自信が無い方は、この時点で装着したいと申し出た方が良いと思います。
今回の参加者は私達含め日本人が８名、外国人２名にキャプテン＆ガイドの計１２名でゴムボートタイプ（ゴムボートと言っても大きくガッチリしているのでご安心を）の高速艇に乗り込み、いよいよ出港です。これぐらいの人数ならゆったり乗れますが、オープンタイプのため風向きによっては水しぶきを被りますので潮水がかかっても良い服を着て行った方が良いでしょう。
港を出て、最近のポイントだという空港裏を目指します。２０分程走り空港裏岸寄りのポイントに着き、先行艇の仲間入り。しばしサンセットを堪能しつつ、ガイドさんにマンタについてのレクチャーを受けながら、暗くなるのを待ちます。（この時のマンタの話が実に興味深いものばかりでした。）
薄暗くなって来たところで入水します。水温は２６℃程だということで、それほど冷たさは感じません。棒状の浮きを抱えながら、ガイドさんの持つボードまで行くと「もうマンタが来てますよ！」と言うガイドさんの声に慌てて水中を覗き込むと、もうマンタが目の前に！！興奮と久しぶりのシュノーケルという事も有り、少し水を飲んでしまいました。（汗）事前にマンタに触れないよう注意を受けるのですが、マンタの方は食事に夢中で、お構いなしに眼前に迫って来ます。一枚二枚とマンタは増えていき、最多では六枚同時に眼下に来てくれました。少し余裕が出てくると、マンタの可愛い目やエラ、お腹の模様の違いなど観察出来る様になってきます。この頃には伝説のマンタ「レフティ」も登場してくれました。
ひとしきりマンタを堪能した頃に潮の流れがきつくなって来ました。と、思ったら、どうやらガイドさんがボードを引張って小移動しているもよう。すると此処で本日のメインイベントともいうべき光景が目の前に広がって来ます。今までの、ボードから下に向かって射していた光とはまったく別の光が広がってきたかと思うと同時に”リアル竜宮城”の世界が広がります。
ここから先を詳しく書いてしまうとネタばれになってしまうので、ここから先は参加してのお楽しみにしておきましょう！（すでに書きすぎの感は有りますが(汗)）この時期なら帰りの船上もそれほど寒くもなかったので、本当にお勧めのアクティビティですね。
自然のマンタナイトシュノーケリングは、今の所ハワイ島でしか楽しめないそうなので、興味の有る方は是非是非物のアクティビティだと思います。
日本に戻っても”あの光景”はなかなか頭を離れません。次回ハワイ島に行く機会が有れば、マンタナイトを優先して予定を組む事でしょう。必ずリピートしたいと思います。それほど素晴らしい体験でした。

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＞

It was moving to interact with dolphins! イルカと触れ合えて感動！

Reviewed by: Kさん

I signed up for this experience because my husband wanted to interact with dolphins, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. They provided a thorough explanation in Japanese about the precautions beforehand, which allowed us to enter the pool without any anxiety. The dolphins even held our hands and gave us kisses, which was incredibly fun. After the interaction time ended, my husband continued to applaud the jumping dolphins and was very satisfied with the photos we purchased. It was clear that the staff cares for the dolphins and values Hawaii's nature, and I learned a lot from this experience, leaving me with a sense of richness.

イルカと触れ合いたいという夫の希望で申し込みましたが、とても良い経験ができました。事前に注意点等について、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれたので、不安もなくプールに入ることができました。イルカは私達おじさんやおばさんとも、手（？）をつないだり、キスしたりしてくれ、すごい楽しかったです。夫はふれあいタイムが終わった後もジャンプするイルカに拍手を送り続け、写真を購入して大満足でした。スタッフがイルカを大切に育てていることやハワイの自然を大事にしていることが伝わり、私もいろいろ学ぶことができ、豊かな気持ちになりました。

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Incredible afternoon and toddler friendly

Reviewed by: Jen Raponi

We had an amazing afternoon last Thursday. The crew were amazing. They gave my son (almost 2) a floatation device to lie on with a window and he saw everything that we were looking at during Molokini snorkelling. Wonderful family memories for the 3 of us :)

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

with family ファミリーで

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was our family's first trip to Hawaii. Since it was highly recommended in every guidebook, we enrolled in Dolphin University.

It takes just under an hour to get from Waikiki to the harbor, but thanks to the cheerful conversation from the driver, we arrived in no time.

I recommend trying the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery.

I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication to the hotel, but a kind family who was also on the trip shared some with me, which helped ease my seasickness a bit. However, I think motion sickness medication is essential.

It was a wonderful time swimming with dolphins and seeing turtles.

家族では始めてのハワイ旅行。
どのガイドブックにも載っていて評判が良さそうだったのでイルカ大学に入学してきました。

ワイキキから港まで一時間弱かかりますが運転手の陽気な会話にあっという間に着きました。

レナーズベーカリーのマラサダも食べられるのはオススメです。

酔い止めの薬をホテルへ忘れてきてしまいましたが同乗した他の優しい家族連れの方に頂き船酔いが少しばかり緩和されましたが酔い止め薬、必須だと思います。

イルカと一緒に泳げたり亀が見れたりと素晴らしい時間でした。

I never imagined I could spend such a long time in the sea. I was able to see a pod of 30 to 40 dolphins, and Su-san's storytelling was amazing! If you're going to swim with dolphins, definitely choose Ilchu or Ildai! Thank you very much.

あれだけしっかりと長い時間海に浸かれるなんて思ってもみませんでした。
イルカ先生の群れも30～40頭でしっかり見れたし、スーさん先生の語りが最高！！
イルカと泳ぐなら絶対にイル中、イル大ですね！！！

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

I was healed by many wild dolphins. たくさんの野生のイルカに癒された

Reviewed by: ヒトン

I participated with my sister. A few years ago, I joined a tour on Oahu with a friend for the first time and was deeply moved, so I decided to share the same experience with my sister. The boat was significantly smaller than the one I had been on before, and since there were many participants that day, we had to sit in a position where it was difficult to see outside the front of the boat (I could barely see through a foggy small window by standing up), which made it a bit cramped and I ended up feeling a little seasick. At one point, our seats became a storage area, and we had nowhere to sit. I had never felt uncomfortable during my previous participation, so I felt sad thinking it shouldn't have been like this. If I had experienced something like this during my previous participation, I might have chosen a different tour instead. (If the Japanese guide had shown a bit more consideration, it might have felt completely different...)

However, I was able to see many dolphins and three baby sea turtles, which quickly lifted my spirits. In the end, we danced the hula and had a fun time returning.

I heard that they will be purchasing a larger boat for the summer, so I would like to consider joining again during my next visit.

姉と二人で参加しました。数年前に初めてオアフ島へ友人と行った際に参加をさせて頂き、大変感動した為、姉にも同じ思いを。。。との気持ちで参加を決めました。以前乗船した船より大分小さくなっており当日は参加者が多かった為、船の先端の 外が見ずらい(立ち上がってようやく曇った小窓からすこし見える程度)位置に座り窮屈だった為少し船酔いをしてしまいました。途中から私たちの席は荷物置き場になってしまい座る席がなくなりました。以前参加した時は不快な思いをする事が一度もなかった為、こんなはずではなかったとの思いにかられ悲しくなりました。以前参加した時が今回のような体験をしていたらこちらのツアーではなく違うツアーにしていたかもしれません。(日本語ガイドの方の気遣いが少しでもあれば気持ち的には全く違ったかもしれませんが、、、)
しかし、たくさんのイルカと海亀親子3匹に会う事が出来て、悲しい気持ちは一気に吹っ飛びました。　最後はフラダンスを踊り楽しく帰って来れました。

夏には大きい船を購入されるそうなので、次回訪問時はまた検討したいと思います。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise by Private Dolphin Junior High School 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ　by　私立イルカ中学

Reviewed by: AKIKO

Woke up at 6:00 AM, gathered at 6:30.
It feels a bit early, but it's necessary. Waking up early is essential to meet the dolphins.

Once we boarded the bus, the morning homeroom led by the student council president, "Akao-chan," began.
The homeroom covered our upcoming plans and safety precautions for the ocean. I was sleepy, but it seemed important, so I listened seriously. (In fact, I think it's better to pay attention since it is important.)

After about an hour of driving, we arrived at the West Coast.
We quickly boarded the boat.

The boat for Dolphin Junior High was smaller than that of Dolphin University, so it swayed quite a bit.
But the scenery around us was amazing!!
Especially the legendary "???" where the Hawaiian music god IZ rests (I'm sorry, I forgot the name) was breathtaking. I wanted to land there. Is that possible?

After about 30 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we finally arrived at the dolphin point.
I jumped into the sea. The key here is to borrow a wetsuit. By the way, I jumped in wearing just swim trunks and it was extremely cold... Don't underestimate the ocean.

After a while, Akao-chan shouted, "Look down, look down!"
When I looked down as instructed, I spotted a pod of dolphins!! There were probably around 50 of them.
It was lucky to find them so quickly.
After that, friendly dolphins were playing just 5 meters away, spinning around, giving us a very precious experience.

That's all for my dolphin experience.

Personally, I also enjoyed the sea turtle observation tour.
I couldn't see any turtles because I got tired, but I encountered a giant stingray and swam alongside it.

Overall, it felt very active, so I think it's more suited for younger people.
Also, since the boat sways quite a bit, if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

Thank you, Akao-chan.

朝6：00起床、6:30集合。
ちょっと早いような気がしますが、これでいいんです。
イルカに会うためには早起きが必要なんです。

バスに乗り込むと『あかおちゃん』こと生徒会会長による朝のホームルームが始まる。
ホームルームの内容は、これからのプラン及び海での注意事項。
眠いが重要そうなので真面目に聞きました。(実際重要なので真面目に聞いたほうがいいと思います)

1時間ほどの運転で西海岸に到着。
早速船に乗り込む。

イルカ中学はイルカ大学より船が小さいためかなり揺れました。
でも周りの景色は最高！！
特に伝説のハワイアンミュージックの神様IZが眠る「???」(すみません、名前忘れてしまいました)は絶景中の絶景でした。上陸したかったです。できませんかね？

船に揺られること30分、ついのイルカポイントに到着。
海に飛び込む。ここでのポイントはウェットスーツ借りること。ちなみに私は海パンいっちょで飛び込んで非常に寒い思いをしました。。海をなめたらあかん。)

しばらくするとあかおちゃんの「下見て、下見て」の掛け声。
言われた通り下を見るとイルカの群れを発見！！ざっと50匹ぐらいはいたのではないでしょうか。
こんなにも早く見つかるなんてラッキーでした。
その後も人懐こいイルカがほんの5m先でくるくる回りながら遊んでいたり、大変貴重な経験をさせて頂きました。

イルカ体験談はここまで。

個人的にはウミガメ観察ツアーもなかなか楽しかったです。
私はヘタってしまったため、ウミガメは見れませんでしたが巨大なエイに遭遇して並走ならぬ並泳しました。

全体的に非常にアクティブなので若い人向けの様な気がします。
あと、かなり船が揺れますので船酔いしそうな方は酔い止めを飲んでおくといいもしれません。

あかおちゃん、有難うございました。

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: わかめ

The class president was very energetic, and I had a great time on the bus without a moment to feel sleepy.

I enjoyed watching the dolphins, but I wanted to swim with them... As a diver and swimmer, I felt that the life jacket was unnecessary (>_<). Just looking down... While it might be necessary to keep everyone together and prevent chasing, the staff were all free diving... What a shame.

I wanted to eat freshly made malasadas from Leonard's since we were there.

I mentioned some downsides, but overall, I had a lot of fun throughout the half day.

I was happy that they took a lot of photos. Whether the photo data for $60 is cheap or expensive is a bit ambiguous. It's not just our photos. However, there were many pictures that we couldn't have taken ourselves, so that was a plus.

I recommend it for those who aren't very good at swimming.

テンション高い学級委員長さんで、バスの中、眠くなる暇もなくとても楽しかったです。

イルカを観れて楽しかったけど、一緒に泳ぎたかった…。ダイバー、スイマーの私としては、あの救命胴衣は不要(>_<)下見るだけって…。みんなで追いかけないためにも、まとまるためにも、必要なのかもしれませんが、スタッフの方はみんな素潜りしてて…。残念。

マラサダは、せっかくレナーズなのに、できたてを食べたかったなー。

とマイナス点を書きましたが、半日通して、楽しかった。

写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたのは嬉しかった。その写真データが60ドルは安いか高いか…微妙なところ。自分たちの写真だけではないから。でも、自分たちでは撮れない写真がいっぱいあったので◎かなー。

あまり泳げない人にはオススメ。
