Unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any sea turtles, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful coral. The staff was very kind, and it was a great tour for families. However, I think they prioritize ease of pickup, but the meeting location was a bit hard to find.

残念ながらウミガメには遭遇できなかったけど、美しいコーラルを堪能できました．スタッフの方もとても親切で、ファミリー連れには、ありがたいツアーでした．
ただ、ピックアップのしやすさを優先されているのだとおもいますが、集合場所が少しわかりにく買ったです．

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＞

I was able to swim with a sea turtle. ウミガメと一緒に泳げました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Swimming with sea turtles in the crystal-clear sea was the best! We were able to see three sea turtles. Having a Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy ourselves on Maui, even though Japanese is not widely understood there. After all, since it’s a tour where you entrust your life, it would have been really anxiety-inducing if there was a language barrier. However, there were some people feeling a bit queasy from seasickness, so it might not be enjoyable for those who are prone to it.

何と言っても、透明度の高い海でウミガメと一緒に泳げたのが最高！！3匹のウミガメを確認できました。日本人ガイドさんがいてくれるので、日本語がほとんど通じないマウイ島でも、安心して楽しめました。やはり、命を預けるツアーなので、言葉が通じないと、ちょー不安だったと思います。でも、船酔いでダウン気味の人たちもいたので、船酔いしやすい人には楽しめないかもしれません。

Dolphin University is amazing! ★

This is my second time participating, following last year! I met so many dolphins last time, but this time there were even more! They spun right in front of us and came to play very close by.

The reason I want to enroll again is not just the dolphins, but also because the president, Yuriko, is absolutely wonderful! I will definitely come back to enroll again soon!!

イルカ大学最高です★

去年に続き二度目の参加です！前回もたくさんのイルカに会えましたが、今回はそれを越えるイルカの群れでした！
クルクルと私達の目の前でスピン！すぐ近くまで遊びに来てくれました。

何度も入学したくなるのはイルカだけではなく学長のゆりこさんがとっても素敵だから☆
また近いうちに再入学しに行きます！！

I feel healed by the dolphins. いるかに癒されます

Reviewed by: りなぽん

I participated in Royal Swim with my 8-year-old daughter. The instructions are in English, but as long as you watch the person in front of you, there are no problems. I was worried because I read that it can be difficult for children with small feet, but my daughter was praised by the trainer after she managed to get her knees above the water, so she was in a great mood. It seems that the trick is to apply pressure with the soles of your feet towards the front. We had a wonderful experience swimming with the adorable dolphins.

ロイヤルスイムに８歳の娘と参加しました。
説明は英語ですが、前の人を見ていれば、問題ありません。
書き込みで、足の小さい子供は難しいとあり心配でしたが、
膝まで水面に上がりトレーナーに褒められたので、

どうやら足裏は手前に力を入れるるのがコツのようです。

On the day of the event, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sea was incredibly clear and calm—it was the best! We got to meet the dolphins multiple times, and each time, I jumped into the water to swim with them. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the turtles, but I had a great time swimming with colorful fish that looked like something out of a fairy tale and kayaking. My son still talks about how delicious the cheeseburger he had on the boat was since we returned to Japan. The staff members were very cheerful and made it a fun experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

参加日当日はお天気にも恵まれて、とっ~ても海がきれいで穏やかで最高でした。イルカ先生達にも何度も会えて、その度に海に飛び込んでイルカ先生達と同じ海を泳ぐことができました。カメ先生の姿は私は残念ながら見ることはできませんでしたが、竜宮城のような色とりどりの魚達と一緒に泳いだりカヤックに乗ったり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。息子は船上で食べたチーズバーガーがとっても美味しかったっと日本に帰ってきた今でもよく話しています。
スタッフの方々もとっても明るくて楽しかったです。また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいと思いました。

It's close to the dolphins. イルカと近いです

Reviewed by: karibu

First of all, this tour has a high quality. Usually, expensive tours aimed at Japanese people always have a Japanese guide, but this tour does not. However, there is an excellent local guide who understands the Japanese spirit and provides detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all. I felt that this tour was thoroughly researched for Japanese participants.

Of course, regarding the important rendezvous with the dolphins, this was the closest encounter I've had on any tour so far, and it really felt like we were swimming together. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to meet dolphins. I was also impressed by the service that sends a group photo if you register your email (of course, for free).

　まず、このツアーはクオリティーが高いです。
通常は、日本人向けの値段の高いツアーには必ず、日本人ガイドがいるのですが、このツアーにはいません。
しかし、日本人の心を理解した優秀な現地ガイドさんがいまして、きめこまやかなガイドをしてくれるので、英語がチンプンカンプンでも全然オーケーです。
かなり、日本人向けに研究されているツアーと感じました。
　もちろん、肝心のイルカとランデブーですが、今までのツアーの中で一番の最接近で、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じがしました。
イルカと逢いたいツアーをお探しの方は、おすすめです。
Ｅメールを登録すると、集合写真を送ってくれる（もちろん、無料）サービスも、感心しました。

The ultimate activity!! 最上級のアクティビティ！！

Reviewed by: opapa

I participated in this tour on June 25, 2010. The account contains quite a few spoilers, but I believe the quality of the tour is so high that spoilers don't matter at all.

I had previously participated in a similar tour with dolphins, but I prefer this dolphin university tour. The previous tour was quite tough, and the care for participants was just "normal," which left little room for fun and made me feel exhausted both physically and mentally. In contrast, the dolphin university provided exceptional care that felt like true "hospitality." I was able to relax and enjoy myself while also thoroughly enjoying the dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish. I highly recommend it for first-timers and families. My 74-year-old father had a great time and, despite initially saying he wouldn't go into the sea, he ended up jumping off the boat multiple times and was in high spirits.

The pickup was indeed early at 5:30 AM (for the morning session), so I was a bit sleepy, but once I got in the car, the energetic enthusiasm of our tour guide, Yuriko, chased away my drowsiness. Before getting on the highway, we stopped by the popular donut shop "Rainer's Bakery" for breakfast, where I enjoyed a freshly made "Malasada," which is currently quite trendy. After about an hour, we arrived at the harbor where the "Island Princess" (with restrooms) was waiting, passing by the former residence of the former grand champion, Konishiki.

We boarded the Island Princess, and with Captain PaPa and the seven crew members, we set off to search for dolphins! Shortly after departure, we offered a song to the sea, "Ehomai," and at the end, we tossed a "Plumeria" flower into the water... praying for a good voyage. This was wonderful.

Now, the entire crew, including PaPa, was on the lookout for dolphins. During this time, while receiving explanations about life jackets and other equipment, we were delighted to be served a large bowl of pineapple. The one distributing it was Yuriko's adorable child, Kamadi. It was a delightful treat for my dry throat. After about 30 to 40 minutes, we encountered our first pod of dolphins. They were friendly and playful "Bottlenose Dolphins." All participants successfully swam with the pod. (Although, to be honest, the dolphins were much faster, so swimming together was a challenge for us humans.)

　2010年6月25日にこのツアーに参加させていただきました。手記がかなりネタバレ的ですが、ネタバレなんか気にならない位のクオリティの高いツアーだと思います。
　以前にもイルカの大学と同様なツアーに参加した事がありましたが、私の好みでは今回のいるかの大学の方が好みです。以前の参加したツアーは、かなりタフな内容で、参加者に対するケアが「普通」でしたので、遊びが少なく心身共にグッタリといった感じでした。対してイルカの大学は、参加者に対するケアがなんと言うか「おもてなし」の心意気を感じる素晴らしいものでした。心身ともにリラックスして遊ぶ事ができ、それでいてイルカ、海亀、熱帯魚も申し分なく堪能できました。初めての方や、ファミリーの方々には本当にお勧めです。74歳になる私の父も安心して大はしゃぎして、当初は海には入らないと言っていた事などどこ吹く風で、何度も船から飛び込んでノリノリ状態でした。
　ピックアプは流石に5：30と朝早く（午前の部）ちょっとネムネムでしたが、車に乗ったらツアーガイドのユリコさんの元気すぎるテンションに引っ張られて眠気はどこかへ。
高速道路に乗る前に、朝ごはん代わりに人気のドーナツショップ「レイナーズベーカリー」に立ち寄り、これまた最近ホット（cool？）なドーナツ「マラサダ」を出来立てフカフカで頂きました。その後小一時間、ウエストコーストへ、元大関小錦邸の前を通って「アイランド・プリンセス号」（トイレ付き）の待つハーバーへ到着。
　アイランド・プリンセスに乗り込み。キャプテンのPaPaさんはじめ7人のクルーと、先ずはイルカ探しへGO！。出航して直ぐに、海に「エホマイ」の歌を捧げ、最後に「プルメリア」の花を海へ・・・。良い航海になる様に祈りを捧げます。これは良かったですね。
　さて、PaPaさんはじめクルー総出でイルカ探しです。その間、ライフジャケットの等の用具の説明を受けながら、うれしい事に大鉢一杯のパイナップッルのサーブを頂きました。配ってくれたのは、ツアーガイド・ユリコさんの可愛いお子さんカマディ君。ちょっと乾いていた喉にはうれしい御馳走でした。30~40分すると最初のイルカの群れとの御対面。人なつこく遊び好きの「ハシナガイルカ」だそうです。参加者全員イルカの群れと泳ぐ事に成功。（と言ってもイルカの方が遥かに早いので一緒に泳ぐのは人間に

Reviewed by: chiezo

"Prestigious Dolphin University" was truly amazing. We took a boat to a spot where we could see dolphins every day, almost 100% of the time, and jumped into the sea with snorkeling gear.

Following the staff's lead, I swam along and when I put my face in the water, a huge pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me! They came up to the surface to breathe and jumped together with us. Even though they weren't trained in an aquarium, they could jump in perfect sync. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I never expected to see dolphins so up close. Just floating in the water and watching the dolphins was so healing! For those who aren't confident in swimming, the staff will pull you along with a rope, so it's very reassuring.

Next, we went to a spot with sea turtles. I was able to swim alongside the turtles perfectly.

The staff included both Japanese and Hawaiian members, and there was a dedicated photographer. The photos taken by the photographer were later available on DVD, and I was glad I purchased them because they captured many moments, including pictures from when we were in the water and candid shots on the boat.

I never got bored on the boat during the transfers. I was particularly captivated by the handsome local guide and the stunning photographer. For lunch, they grilled hamburgers on the boat, which were absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed a very elegant atmosphere while relaxing to Hawaiian music.

In this tour, we referred to the dolphins and turtles as "Dolphin Sensei" and "Turtle Sensei," and they truly taught us the wonders of nature.

As a souvenir, I received an eco bag printed with "Prestigious Dolphin University." It was a very enjoyable tour that I will remember for a lifetime, and I would love to participate again!

「名門イルカ大学」本当に最高でした。
イルカが毎日１００％と言っていいほど見られるというスポットへ船で行き、シュノーケリングの道具を付けて海にジャボーンと飛び込みます。

スタッフの方の先導に泳いで付いて行き顔を海につけると、目の間にイルカの大群が！
空気を吸いに水面に出てきて、みんなでジャンプします。
水族館で調教されていなくても、ピッタリ息の合ったジャンプができるんですね。
海もとてもきれいで、こんなに間近でイルカが見られるとは思ってもいませんでした。
海にプカプカ浮かんでイルカを眺めているだけで、本当に癒されます！泳ぎに自信がない方は、スタッフの方がロープで引っ張っていってくれるので安心です。

次に、ウミガメのいるスポットへ行きます。
ウミガメもバッチリ一緒に泳ぐことができました。

スタッフの方は、日本人の方とハワイの方がいて、専属のカメラマンもいます。
カメラマンさんが撮った写真はDVDに焼いたものを後で購入するのですが、海に入った時の写真や船の上のスナップ写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえたので購入してよかったです

移動中の船の上も飽きることがありませんでした。
特に現地のイケメンガイドさんと、超美人のカメラマンさんには見とれてしまいました。
食事はハンバーグを船の上で焼いてハンバーガーにしてくれるのですが、もちろん味は最高だったし、ハワイアンミュージックが流れる舟でのんびりとしてとても優雅な気分に浸れました。

このツアーでは、イルカとカメを「イルカ先生、カメ先生」と呼ぶのですが、まさに大自然の素晴らしさを教えてくれる大先生でした。

お土産に「名門イルカ大学」とプリントされたエコバックをもらえました。
一生記憶に残るとても楽しいツアーでした、また参加したいです！

My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday in Hawaii, and the number one thing on her "to-do list for this summer vacation" was to swim with dolphins!! Yes, the main event of this year's trip to Hawaii was enrolling in Dolphin University.

The result was... absolutely, overwhelmingly satisfying!! It was an incredibly exciting university experience (*^^)v

I woke up to breakfast with malasadas, and after about a 40-minute drive, passing by the Konishiki residence on the left, we arrived at the West Coast. We switched to a boat and set off with Yuriko and the energetic staff!! Within 10 minutes, we reached the dolphin spot → dove into the sea!! Even my daughter, who isn't a strong swimmer, was well-supported by the staff and enjoyed snorkeling with everyone (laughs). Then...

There they were＼(~o~)／ I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures and was captivated by the large group of dolphins. After that, we were able to see honu (sea turtles) and many fish up close.

For lunch, we had cheeseburgers grilled on the boat, which were also exquisite!! For some reason, everyone got excited and sang loudly during the ukulele and hula lessons, making it a quick half-day of fun♪

Dolphin University is definitely a place where both adults and children can enjoy themselves!! I want to enroll again next year (@^^)/~~~

その後もホヌや多くの魚を間近で見ることが出来ました。

The best, strongest dolphin tour & more and more... the first half 最高、最強イルカツアー＆　more and more 。。。。前半

Reviewed by: 康ママ

On June 23rd, I participated with my 3-year-old son and my pregnant sister.

This was my second trip to Hawaii for my brother's wedding, and it was my son's first time in Hawaii. Last time, we mainly walked around the city, shopped, and enjoyed Waikiki Beach, but with a small child, shopping isn't really enjoyable. I wanted to find something that both the child could enjoy and that would be suitable for my pregnant sister, something that we couldn't experience in Japan. After searching with Alan, I found this option.

It had high ratings, and reading everyone's comments made it sound like a lot of fun. However, I was a bit skeptical because I had previously participated in a tour that was terrible despite good reviews. But with the 7.77 campaign and free admission for children under 3 (it's quite common for 3-year-olds to be charged, even though they probably don't understand what's going on), I was excited.

My son had a fear of the ocean after falling over in the waves during his debut at the beach last year, so I was quite anxious that he might get upset right before we went, even with the promise of feeding dolphins and turtles. I thought it would be fine to leave him with his grandparents if needed, and there was no cancellation fee, which was a relief.

On the day of the event, we had to gather at 6:10 AM. It was early... especially since it was the day after our arrival, and that time is quite tough for someone with low blood pressure. Oh boy. My son, who loves his mom, decided to join us. Just before we left, he was fussing about not wanting to go to the ocean or ride on a boat, but I managed to calm him down by promising him donuts (malasadas) and cheeseburgers.

At the meeting point, there was a shuttle bus with "Dolphin University" written on it in big letters. We were greeted by a lovely, bright, and talkative young woman with long hair and a sun-kissed complexion. My excitement and blood pressure both rose a bit.

The aforementioned lady, Yuriko, drove us to our first destination, Leonard's. During the drive, everyone introduced themselves, and thanks to Yuriko's skillful guidance, the atmosphere became friendly and relaxed. The shop was located along a main road, away from the tourist areas, and I probably wouldn't have been able to come here without the courage to rent a car. I was very happy with this kind of service; it scored high points with me. Leonard's is well-known and often featured in magazines and on TV, so I had imagined a clean and tidy shop, but its appearance pleasantly surprised me, blending into the everyday life of America. The atmosphere was great. While we were there, locals kept coming in to buy, showing its popularity.

I tried the most basic type of malasada. It was freshly fried and warm, gently waking up my half-asleep brain with its sweetness and moist, fluffy texture. It was delicious, and I understood why it was so popular.

By the way, while we were at Leonard's, my son felt the urge to go to the bathroom...

６月２３日に息子(３歳)、妹(妊婦)と共に参加。

今回は弟の結婚式で来た２回目のハワイ、息子は初ハワイでした。前回は街歩き、ショッピング、ワイキキビーチがメインでしたが、小さい子供連れだとショッピング等はたのしめない。子供も楽しめ、かつ妊婦でもOKの日本で体験できない感動をと思いアランさんで探したところ、こちらがヒット。
評価が高く、皆さんのコメントをよんでも楽しそうなものばかり。。以前評価を信じて参加したツアーがとんでもなかったため疑念を抱きつつも、折しも７．７７キャンペーン＆３歳以下無料(３歳で有料って結構多い、まだわけもわからんだろうに。)。おお。
息子は、去年の海デビュー時、波ですっころんでから海(波)恐怖症のため、イルカと亀というエサがあっても行く直前にぐずるかとかなり不安でこれなら同行のじいじばあばにあづけてもキャンセル料もないし、ときめました。

さて当日。６時１０分集合。早い。。到着翌日だし、低血圧にはかなりつらい時間帯。おぅ。そしてママ大好きっ子の息子は一緒に参加することに。直前まで、海やだー船乗らないーと騒ぐが、ドーナツ(マラサダ)＆チーズバーガーたべようねーとなんとかなだめ出発。

集合場所にはイルカ大学とでかでかと書かれた送迎車。迎えてくれたのはロングヘアに焼けた肌が素敵なとーっても明るく御話し上手なお姉さん。血中ハワイ濃度、血圧ともに少し上昇。

先述のお姉さん、ユリコさんのドライブで最初の目的地レナーズへ。車中でみんな自己紹介、ゆりこさんの巧みな誘導で和やか、フレンドリーなムードになっていく。お店は観光エリアからはずれた幹線道路沿いにあり、レンタカーを借りる勇気のない自分ではなかなか来れないだろう。こういうとこに連れて行ってくれるのはとてもうれしいサービス。ポイント高い。レナーズは雑誌やテレビでも良く紹介されていて有名なので小奇麗なお店を想像していたが、いい意味で期待を裏切る外観、アメリカの日常に溶け込んでいるようなところ。その雰囲気がいい。私たちがいる間にも次々と地元の人たちがかいにくる。人気なんだな。そして
一番ベーシックなタイプを食す。揚げたてほかほか、半分寝ている脳味噌をやさしく起こしてくれる甘さ、しっとりほわほわの食感。おいしい。人気なのもわかる。
ところで、レナーズに立ち寄った際、息子が尿意をもよおし

I had an amazing time! I'm really glad I participated in this tour. Actually, it was my companion's first time at the ocean in over ten years, and it was also their first time snorkeling. Plus, we’re not great swimmers... But even with that, we had an absolute blast! We wore life jackets, so there was no worry about drowning. Also, the staff provided support for those who aren't good at swimming, so it was all good!

There were so many dolphins! It was funny when we mistook the heads of people from other tours for dolphins... (laughs) We also saw tons of fish, and the turtles were incredible. We even got to swim alongside them! Thanks to that, we got some great videos. It was truly a fun time, and I felt so relaxed.

However, getting up early was a bit tough. We had to leave around 6 AM, so our alarm was set for 5 AM! Since we’re not morning people, we completely missed the alarm and woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. We jumped up in a panic, but the call had already ended. Just when I thought I overslept, the phone rang again. It turned out to be the tour's morning call. Thanks to that, we managed to make it on time. For those who struggle with mornings, there are multiple morning calls, so it seems manageable (laughs).

For breakfast, we had Leonard's malasadas! Drinks are not included, so you can either bring your own or buy water for a dollar. After breakfast, we took motion sickness pills since there were a few people on the tour who felt a bit seasick, so don’t forget if you're worried! Thanks to that, we were super comfortable.

I definitely want to participate again next time. So, everyone, enjoy!

すんごく楽しかったですよ~☆
このツアーに参加してよかったです♪
実は、同行者は１０数年ぶりくらいの海、そしてシュノーケルも初めて、そしてなんと私たちは泳ぎが苦手・・・。
こんな私たちでも超満喫できました！！
ちゃんとライフジャケットもつけるからおぼれる心配はありません。また、泳ぎが苦手な人にはスタッフがサポートしてくれるので大丈夫ですよ！
イルカちゃんたちいっぱいいましたよ~！！でも、他のツアーでシュノーケルしてる人たちの頭をイルカと間違えたのは笑えましたが・・・（笑）
またお魚ちゃんたちもい~っぱい見れたし、なんといっても亀ちゃんがすごかった。一緒に並んで泳げちゃいました☆
おかげでいいムービーが取れました。
ほんとにほんとに楽しい時間でした。
とっても癒されましたよ~☆
ただ、朝早いのがちょっときつかったです。
出発は、６時ごろだったから、目覚ましはなんと５時台！？
朝が苦手な私たちは、目覚ましには全く気づかず、電話の音で目が覚めました。あわてて飛び起きましたが電話が切れてしまったのです。あぁ~寝坊した~と思ったらもう一度電話が鳴っったのです。出てみるとツアーのモーニングコールでした。おかげでなんとか間に合いました。朝が苦手な人でも何度もモーニングコールがあるからなんとかがんばれそうですね（笑）
それから、朝食は、レナーズのマラサダ！ドリンクは含まれていないので自分で持っていくか、１ドルで水は売ってくれます。私たちは、この朝食後に酔い止めを飲みました。ツアーに参加された方で若干船酔いされていた方がいましたので、心配な方はお忘れなく！おかげで超快適でしたよ。
次回また参加したいと思います。

In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and had malasadas for breakfast at Leonard's. The freshly made, fluffy malasadas were delicious! Now, off to the sea in Waianae where the dolphins are waiting!

Along the way, our guide Yuji provided sightseeing information, saying, "This is the hospital where President Obama was born," and "On your left is the house of Kōnishiki!" Each time, everyone exclaimed, "Wow!!" I appreciated the thoughtful efforts to keep everyone engaged during the 40-minute journey, which flew by, and soon we arrived at the sea in Waianae!

Once we boarded the boat and headed out, I was amazed! The water was completely clear! You could see right through to the bottom! What a beautiful sea. I was thrilled and confident that we would see dolphins.

The sea in Waianae is calm, beautiful, and mysterious. I stared intently at the surface, hoping to see dolphins. Spin jumps!! We also jumped into the water.

As we quietly swam, there were 60 to 70 dolphins around us. They swam right in front of us and beneath us. Baby dolphins were swimming closely with their mothers. I felt like I wanted to swim with them forever. So happy♪

The cheeseburger grilled on the boat was incredibly delicious, and canoeing and paddle surfing were also fun. It was truly a packed experience. I felt like we accomplished so much in just half a day. I want to come back again next year!

朝ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、あのレナーズでマラサダの朝食。出来立てでふわふわのマラサダ、美味しい~！！さあ、いざイルカの待つワイアナエの海に！！
途中は、ガイドのゆうじさんが、「ここはオバマ大統領の生まれた病院ですよ」「左手の御殿が小錦さんの家です！」と観光案内。その都度、みんなからは「わあ~！！」と歓声。
海に着くまでの間も皆を飽きさせないような気配りが嬉しいです。
４０分くらいの移動時間もあっという間で、ワイアナエの海に！！
船にのって海に出てびっくり！海が完全に透明なんです！海の中が見える見える！！なんて美しい海なんでしょう。感激！！きっとイルカにあえるぞ~と確信。
ワイアナエの海は穏やかでどこまでも美しく神秘的。イルカを期待して、水面をじっと見つめる。
スピンジャンプ！！私たちも海に飛び込む。
静かに静かに泳いでいると、そこには６０~７０匹ものイルカ。目の前をイルカたちが横切ったり、私たちの下をイルカたちが泳いだり。赤ちゃんイルカもお母さんにぴったりと寄り添って泳いでいる。永遠にこのまま一緒に泳いでいたい気持ちになりました。幸せ♪♪
船の上で焼いてもらったチーズハンバーグは飛び切り美味しかったし、カヌーやパドルサーフィンも楽しかった。本当に盛りだくさんでした。たった半日とは思えないような充実ぶりでした。また来年も行きたい！と思いました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Adventure of a Lifetime

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I attended with my two neices, who are very afraid of water. The BOB offered them the opportunity to experience the ocean and its inhabitants without knowing how to swim. They were truly overjoyed with their experience under water. We were all a bit concerned, at first, with the staff who didn't interact well with customers but once everyone experienced the BOB they began to interact more with customers.

Dolphin Teacher is the best!! イルカ先生最高！！

Reviewed by: Y＆M

I participated on June 30th.

The weather was clear from the morning! I was picked up at the hotel early in the morning and headed straight for Leonard's famous malasadas. These are not like donuts with holes; they are oval-shaped fried pastries. Freshly made, they have a light texture instead of being greasy! I felt like I could eat as many as I wanted♪

After that, we went to the harbor on the west coast where the Dolphin University boat is located. It took about 40 minutes by car. There were about 30 people on the boat, including the staff, and we set off to find the dolphins!

The weather was so nice that the sea breeze was pleasant, and just moving around was enjoyable. Along the way, we learned a traditional Hawaiian prayer and prayed to the sea gods together. Hoping our prayers would reach them, we continued our search for the dolphins from the boat.

At one point… we spotted a pod of dolphins!! Following the staff's instructions, everyone jumped into the sea! By the way, goggles and fins are provided, but wetsuits are available for a fee. However, I recommend renting a wetsuit.

As for the dolphins, at first, they didn't come close because everyone was splashing around in the water, but thanks to the staff's experience and skills, the dolphins…! Before we knew it, there were about 15 dolphins around us…! It was truly moving! Of course, we couldn't touch them, but they swam right past us, below us, and even chatted with a "quee" sound… the dolphins in the wild are truly amazing.

After being moved by the dolphins, we headed to the underwater palace. Yes, there were sea turtles and colorful fish waiting for us there! I was captivated by the sea turtles and couldn't help but follow them. They seemed a bit annoyed, though (laughs).

Additionally, there were activities like sea kayaking, paddle surfing, and on the boat, we enjoyed special hamburgers and hula dancing… it was a class filled with so many fun activities that I can't even write them all down.

Thank you so much, Yuriko, Yuji, Cynthia, Dad, Keoki, Kioni, Mary… and all the wonderful instructors! I had a truly enjoyable time!!

6/30日に参加しました。

当日は朝から快晴！
早朝にホテルでピックアップしていただき、レナーズ名物マラサダ向けて一直線。
ドーナツみたいな穴はない、俵型の揚げパン。これが出来たてで、揚げている代わりに軽~い食感！何個でも食べられそうな感じでした♪

その後はイルカ大学のボートがある西海岸の港へ。車で４０分くらいは移動したでしょうか。
ボートにはスタッフの方々を含めると３０人程が乗船。そしてイルカ先生を探しに沖へ！

とてもいい天気だったので、海の風も心地良く、移動しているだけでも楽しめました。
途中、ハワイ古来の祈りを教えていただき、全員で海の神様にお祈り。
お祈りが届くことを願い、ボートからイルカ先生探しを続行。

あるポイントで…イルカ先生の群れを発見！！スタッフの方々の指示でみんな海へ~！ちなみに、ゴーグルはフィンは貸していただけます。ウェットスーツは有料。でもウェットスーツは借りることをお勧めします。

で、肝心のイルカ先生ですが、はじめはみんなが海でバタバタしていたので近くに寄ってくれませんでしたが、スタッフの方々の経験とワザ？が、イルカ先生の心を…！
気づいたら私たちの周りには１５頭ほどのイルカ先生が…！
本当に感動です！
もちろん触れませんが、私たちの目の前を通り過ぎ、下を泳ぎ、そして「キュー」っとおしゃべりをし…大自然のイルカ先生は本当に感動させてくれます。

イルカ先生に感動した後は、竜宮城へ。そう、こちらもウミガメ先生やカラフルなお魚達が待っていてくれました！
ウミガメ先生に魅了され、思わず後を追ってしまいました。ちょっと迷惑そうでしたが(笑)

その他、シーカヤックやパドルサーフィン、そして船上では特製ハンバーガーにフラダンス…といった、もう書ききれないくらい遊び満載の授業でした。

ユリコさん・ユウジさん、シンシアさん・パパさん・ケオキさん、キオニさんにメアリーさん…そして多くの先生！
本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました！！

Dolphins and sea turtles are awesome. イルカも海がめもサイコ−

Reviewed by: millty

I participated in this tour during a monitor experience on July 14th! When I came to Hawaii last time, I joined another wild dolphin tour and was moved when I saw the dolphins. However, the previous tour from another company was in a location where the sea wasn't very beautiful, which was disappointing. This time, I applied for this tour because I saw reviews and the website suggested they would take us to a beautiful sea!

My impression is, it was awesome!!! I'm really glad I chose this tour! That's the bottom line!! I absolutely recommend it!

The sea was taken to the westernmost point of Oahu, so it was clear, and we could see dolphins swimming right next to us, making it feel like we were really swimming in the ocean together! Moreover, not only did we see dolphins, but at the point where the water was clearest, we had time to feed the fish and enjoy paddle surfing! This tour also allows you to enjoy delicious food! (laughs) In the morning, after departing from the meeting place, we first went to Leonard's Bakery, famous for malasadas, where we each had a freshly made, piping hot one. While on the water, Captain Papa prepared delicious cheeseburgers, chilled pineapples, chips, and drinks, which came out just when we were swimming and feeling a bit hungry! The timing was perfect!

We encountered dolphins three times, and I was able to see them swimming right by my feet twice, so I felt completely satisfied both emotionally and physically★☆★☆★.

For those who are hesitant about participating, I joined other activities during my stay in Hawaii, but the tour I wanted to do again was definitely this one, so please go and enjoy it!

7/14にモニター体験にてこのツアーに参加してきました!!
前回ハワイに来た時も他の野生のイルカツアーに参加し、イルカを見たときには感動！だったのですが、前回の他会社ツアーは海があんまりきれいな場所ではなく残念だったので、今回は書き込みやＨＰなどを拝見してきれいそうな海に連れて行ってくれそうだったので、このツアーに申し込みました！！

感想は、サイコ−！！！このツアーにしてほんっとに良かった！その一言ですね！！
絶対オススメですよ！！

海もオアフ島の最西端につれて行っていただいたので、澄んでいて、イルカも見れるし、海がめは真横を泳いでるから、本当に一緒に海を泳いでいるようでした！しかも、イルカを見るだけでなく、１番海が澄んでいるポイントではお魚にえさをやったり、パドルサーフィンを楽しんだりもしっかり時間をとっていただけました！！
このツアーは美味しい物を食すこともできます！（笑）朝、集合場所から出発すると、まず最初にマラサダで有名なレーナーズベーカリーにて焼きたてほやほやアッツアツを一人一個ずつ食べ、水上では、キャプテンパパさんが焼いてくれたおいしいチーズバーガーやヒエヒエのパイナップルや、ポテチ、ドリンクなど水中で泳いで小腹か減ってるときにすかさずでてくる！このタイミングもさすがでした！！

イルカは３回アタックして、２回イルカが足元を泳いでいく姿をしっかりと見ることが出来たし、ほんとに気持ちもおなかも満腹★☆★☆★です。

参加しようか迷っている方、ハワイに滞在中他のアクティビティーにも参加しましたが、もう一回行きたかったと思ったツアーは断然このツアーだったので、是非行って見て楽しんでみてください！！

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）＞

It was better than I imagined. 想像以上によかった

Reviewed by: ぽち

I participated with my husband and mother-in-law. Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I imagined. First of all, taking a boat to Waikiki is great. The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing. We were also able to see turtles underwater. One issue, though, is that after coming up from the submarine, the boat sways quite a bit, and it can make you feel seasick. It might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

主人と義母の3人で参加。
ワイキキ沖ですから、たいして期待していなかったのですが、想像以上によかったですよ。
まずワイキキ沖にボートで行くのがよい。海から見るワイキキは最高です。そして海中では亀を見ることができました。ただ一点問題は、潜水艦からあがったあと、沖合の船上がゆれて結構酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ぽち

I sank a cage offshore and jumped in... At first, I was anxious, but if you try, you can do it! It was September, but the water temperature was a bit low. Also, since the waves were rough offshore, it might be better not to eat too much before participating. Two out of six people got seasick.

Still, it was an invaluable experience. After returning home, my PC crashed, and I lost the photos of the sharks, which made me weep. I want to participate again.

沖合に檻を沈めてそこにどぼん、、、最初は不安でしたがなせばなる！9月でしたが水温は若干低め。あと沖合で波が荒いので、参加する前にはあまりものを食べすぎない方がいいかも。酔ってはいた人2人／6人。
それでも得難い経験です。帰国後PCがクラッシュして、サメの写真が消えてしまいむせび泣きました。また参加したい。

This time, it was a family trip with three generations. Not only I, but everyone in my family was thrilled, so I was very satisfied. This is all thanks to the kind staff. Thank you so much!!

I also appreciated the morning call to the hotel. I was already up and excited... (laughs) The malasada was even more delicious than I expected, and I wanted to eat another one.

After returning home and going back to school, my child told their friends about Dolphin University, and they were very envious. Surrounded by nature, we had a wonderful experience and made great memories. I'm also working hard while recalling that excitement. I want to see Dolphin Teacher and Turtle Teacher again, so I will definitely participate next time!! I look forward to it again then!!

ハワイ滞在中は色んなＯＰへ参加しましたが、イルカ大学が一番最高でした！！

今回は三世代でのハワイ旅行。
私だけでなく、家族みんなも声をそろえて喜んでくれていたのですごく満足できました。
これもすべて優しいスタッフの皆さんのおかげです。

私は張り切って既に起きていましたが・・・（笑）
マラサダは予想以上においしく、もう1個食べたかったです。

It’s soothing☆ 癒されます☆

Reviewed by: ドリマニア

I wasn't particularly fixated on dolphins, but when I saw the chance to participate in the monitor campaign at a great price, I applied with a light heart...

It was truly, truly the right decision!! I never expected to see wild dolphins so close!

First, from the early morning gathering, Yuriko and Yuji's fun talks got me excited♪ During the drive, I was able to hear wonderful stories about how they became captivated by dolphins, which were quite inspiring. Unfortunately, it was raining on the way there, but thanks to that, we saw many rainbows after the rain☆ "Seeing such a big rainbow means something good is definitely going to happen today!" My spirits were high↑↑.

Arriving at the port in such a fun atmosphere, everyone greeted us warmly.

From the moment we boarded the boat, there were dolphins swimming all around! We offered a prayer song and off we went into the sea!

With life jackets on, I had no worries even though I can't swim.

The dolphins were close by, but at first, they didn't come near, which made me a bit anxious. However, as I quietly waited... they were really, really right there! The dolphins swimming gracefully and comfortably were truly magical. I even got to see a mother and baby swimming together.

After the dolphins, we moved to the Dragon Palace for about 20 minutes. They entertained us with ukulele music and served us pineapple, so we weren't bored during the ride.

At the Dragon Palace, we had free time to snorkel, paddle surf, and kayak. We saw not only turtles but also many beautiful fish. When I held out food, they rushed over with such speed that it was a bit scary. Paddle surfing clearly divided those who could do it and those who couldn't (laughs). I definitely recommend giving it a try.

On the way back to the port, we enjoyed special cheeseburgers (eating on the sea was exceptional☆), and we even danced at the end. Personally, I found the dancing to be a lot of fun♪ The more you dance without being shy, the better!

Despite being just a morning activity, it was packed with content. It became the most enjoyable memory of this trip♪

I highly recommend it for anyone looking to immerse themselves in an extraordinary experience and find some healing☆☆☆

特にイルカに固執していたわけではないのですが、モニターキャンペーンでお得に参加できるチャンスだったので、軽い気持ちで申し込んだのですが・・

本当に本当に大正解でした！！
まさかこんなに近くで野生のイルカが見られるとは思ってもいませんでした！

まず早朝の集合からユリ子さん&ユウジさんの楽しいトークでワクワク♪　車内ではお二人がイルカの虜になった経緯など、人生の参考になるような素敵なお話を聞くことができました。　あいにく行きの道中は雨だったのですが、そのおかげで雨上がりには多数の虹が☆　「こんなに大きな虹が見られて今日は絶対良いことあるよー」とテンションも↑↑。


そんな楽しい雰囲気の中港に到着。
やさしそうな皆様が出迎えてくれます。

船に乗った瞬間からイルカの群れがあちらこちらに！
お祈りの歌をささげ早速海へGO!

ライフジャケットがあるので泳げない私でも何の心配もいりません。

群れはすぐ近くにいるけど、なかなか寄ってきてくれなくて最初はちょっと心配でしたが静かに待っていると・・
本当に本当にすぐそこです！
悠々と気持ちよさそうに泳ぐイルカはとても幻想的でした。
親子で仲良く泳ぐ姿も見られました。

イルカの後は竜宮城へ20分ほど移動。
ウクレレを聞かせてくれたり、パイナップルを振る舞ってくれたりと移動中も飽きないです。

竜宮城での時間はシュノーケルをしたり、パドルサーフィンやカヤックをしたり自由に過ごします。
カメだけではなくきれいな魚もたくさん見られます。　
餌を持つとすごい勢いで寄ってきて、少しコワイぐらいでした。
パドルサーフィンはできる人とできない人にはっきり分かれてました（笑）　ぜひチャレンジしてみてください。

港へ向かう帰り道で、特製チーズバーガーを頂き（海の上で食べるのは格別☆）、さらに最後はダンスまで踊りました。
私的にはこのダンスがとても楽しかったです♪
恥ずかしがらず思いっきり踊ったもん勝ちです！

と、午前中のみのアクティビティにも関わらず、盛沢山の内容です。
今回の旅行の中で一番楽しい思い出になりました♪

非日常に浸って癒されたい方にはとってもお勧めです☆☆☆

Reviewed by: K&K

In the early morning, I boarded the yellow school bus from Dolphin University and first had breakfast at Leonard's. I had already eaten Leonard's malasadas the day before, but at Dolphin University, I was able to enjoy them fresh and hot! The fresh ones were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they were absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend having them fresh☆☆☆

Guided by the cheerful and energetic staff member Yuriko, we arrived at the West after about 40 minutes. Once we boarded the boat from there... the dolphins greeted us right away. I thought we would be searching for the dolphins for a longer time, but as expected, the encounter rate is 100%!!

We hurried into the sea, swimming eagerly after the staff, and there they were, the dolphins! I will never forget the moment when they passed right underneath me or came so close that I could almost reach out to them. Above all, I am grateful to the staff. It was clear that they were doing their utmost to ensure we could meet the dolphins. They taught us when to swim and when to stop and wait quietly, and they shouted loudly, "Look down now~~!!" so we wouldn’t miss anything... Thanks to the dedicated staff, I had the best experience.

After meeting the dolphins, we moved to the second spot by boat. We encountered tropical fish, honu (sea turtles), and even the rarely seen Hawaiian monk seal, and we had a blast with sea kayaking and paddle surfing. After all the fun, the cheeseburgers grilled by Captain Papa on the boat were delicious too!! They played pleasant songs on the ukulele and taught us hula, keeping us entertained until the very end.

Despite such a packed schedule, we were able to return to the hotel around 2 PM, which was great because it left us with some free time afterward. Waking up early was definitely worth it. If I have the chance, I would love to enroll again. Thank you so much to Yuriko and all the staff for such a wonderful time. Mahalo.

朝早くにイルカ大学の黄色いスクールバスに乗り込むと、まずはレナーズで朝食。
前日すでにレナーズのマラサダを食べていたのですが、イルカ大学では揚げたてのアツアツを食べることが出来ました！
揚げたては外がカリッと中がフワフワでとっても美味しかった！！揚げたて絶対お勧めです☆☆☆

元気で明るいスタッフのユリコさんに案内されながら、40分程でウエストに到着。
そこから船に乗ると・・・すぐにイルカ先生達が出迎えてくれました。
もっと長い時間イルカ先生を探し回るのかと思っていましたが、さすが遭遇率100％！!

急いで海に入り、スタッフの後を夢中で泳いでいくと・・・イルカ先生がいました!！
自分の真下を通過したり、手が届きそうなくらい目の前に来た瞬間は忘れられません。
そして何よりスタッフの皆さんに感謝です。
私たちがイルカ先生に出会えるように、全力でガイドして頂いているのがとても伝わりました。
泳ぐタイミングや止まって静かに待つべきタイミングを教えてくれたり、見逃さないように「今、下を見てぇぇ~~！！」と大声で叫んだり・・・本当に熱心なスタッフの皆さまのお陰で最高の体験が出来ました。

イルカ先生に会った後は、２時間目のスポットへまた船で移動。
熱帯魚やホヌ、そして滅多に現れないというハワイアンモンクシール（アザラシ）に出会うことが出来たり、シーカヤックやパドルサーフィンでも遊び、盛り沢山な内容でした。
そして遊び尽くした後、船上で食べたキャプテンパパが焼いてくれたチーズバーガーがまた美味しかった！!
ウクレレを弾きながら心地よい歌を聴かせてくれたり、フラを教わったりと最後の最後まで楽しませて頂きました。

こんなに盛り沢山な内容なのに午後２時頃にはホテルに戻れたので、その後時間がある点も良かったです。
早起きした甲斐がありました。機会があれば、また入学したいです。
ユリコさん始め、スタッフの皆さま本当に素敵な時間をどうも有難うございました。Mahalo.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been coming to Hawaii almost every year, but my itinerary usually revolves around shopping and relaxing at the beach, so I haven't booked many activities. This time, I wanted to fully experience the power of nature and feel rejuvenated, so I signed up for a tour.

Waking up early was really tough, but the tour was so fulfilling that it made it all worth it!

The malasadas I had at Leonard's after rubbing my sleepy eyes were delicious! Since the location requires a rental car, I appreciated the convenience of stopping by as part of the tour.

Finally, we arrived at the west coast and boarded the boat to start the tour. After searching for dolphins for a while, we spotted a pod! We quickly jumped into the water, and although it wasn't for long, I was moved to see wild dolphins up close. It was a moment that made me feel the beauty and grandeur of nature, even a sense of divinity.

We then moved to a spot where we could see turtles. I heard that there were eight the day before, but on the day I participated, there were only two. A large turtle and a slightly smaller one were being cleaned by little fish.

I personally loved this part, so I spent the whole time watching the turtles and eagerly chasing after them! The turtles had a different vibe from the dolphins, but their grace underwater was truly mesmerizing, and I found myself just gazing at them. The distance to a turtle that came up for air was only about 30 cm, which surprised me!

After enjoying watching the dolphins and turtles, it was lunchtime. The homemade burgers made by the captain were delicious...

I felt like I could completely forget about work and the troubles I left behind in Japan and became pure.

Since people of all ages, from small children to adults, participated, I felt it was a great tour that anyone could enjoy.

If you want to play with nature in Hawaii, I definitely recommend Dolphin University!

ハワイには毎年のように来ているけれど、毎回お買い物とビーチでのんびり・・・という日程ばかりで、あまりアクティビティを予約することはなかった私。
今回はせっかくなので、自然の力をめいっぱい感じて癒されたくて申し込みました。

朝早起きなのはすごくきつかったけれど・・・
そんなの吹き飛ぶくらい、充実した手ごたえのあるツアーでした☆

眠い目をこすりながら到着したLenard'sで食べたマラサダのおいしかったこと！
レンタカーがないといけないロケーションなので、ツアーのついでに立ち寄ってくれるありがたみを感じました。

いよいよ西海岸に到着し、船に乗り込んでツアーがスタート。
イルカを探して少したつと・・・イルカの群れを発見！
早速海に入り、あまり長い間ではなかったけれど・・・野生のイルカをあんなに間近で見ることができて、感動！
自然の美しさというか、壮大さというか・・・神々しさすら感じた瞬間でした。

その後場所を移動して、カメのいるポイントへ。
前の日は８匹もいたそうですが、私の参加した日は２匹だけ。
大きなカメさんとすこし小さなカメさんが２匹、小魚たちにお掃除されてました。

個人的に大好きだったので、このポイントでは終始カメさんを眺め・・・夢中で追いかけてましたｗ
イルカとまた違った雰囲気のカメさんですが、水中での姿は本当に優雅で・・・ぽけーっと眺めてしまいました。
息継ぎに水面まで上がってきたカメさんとの距離はほんの30cmほど。あまりの近さにびっくりしてしまいましたｗ

散々イルカやカメを見てはしゃぎ、子供の気持ちに戻れたところでお昼時間。
船長パパさん手作りのハンバーガーのおいしかったこと・・・

日本においてきた仕事のことや、面倒なことをきれいさっぱり忘れて、Pureになれた気がしました。

小さな子供から大人まで、幅広い年齢の方が参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめるとてもよいツアーだと感じました。

ハワイで大自然と戯れたい方はぜひ！イルカ大学をお勧めします☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went to see dolphins! A few years ago, I went on another tour to see dolphins, but the weather was not great, and I didn't encounter many, so this time I went for a revenge tour at Dolphin University.

As for my impressions, I think it's nice that they call you 30 minutes before pickup in the morning, which is reassuring for those who might worry about oversleeping. The pickup van is also very noticeable, as you can see in the photos. Just be careful not to confuse it with Dolphin Junior High.

The stop at Leonard's is convenient since it's hard to get there on your own, and it's nice to be able to check out a popular spot.

The most important part, the dolphin tour, was great; the staff were cheerful, and I think anyone would enjoy it.

However, when I went, it was full, and the boat was crowded, so I think a smaller group would be better.

There weren't many waves, but for those who are not used to being on boats or swimming in deep water, there might be a slight tension that could lead to seasickness. I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

You wouldn't want to miss out on the delicious cheeseburger!

If I want to see dolphins in Hawaii again, I'll definitely rely on Dolphin University!

イルカ見てきました♪
何年か前に、他のツアーでイルカを見に行きましたが
天候がイマイチであんまり出会えず、今回リベンジで、イルカ大学で行ってきました。
感想としては、朝、ピックアップ３０分前に確認の電話をくれるのは、万が一寝過したらっと不安になる方とかにはいいと思います。
お迎えのバンも写真のとおり目立って分かりやすいです。
ただ、イルカ中学と間違えないようにですが。
レナーズの立ち寄りも、自分で行くには不便なので話題のお店も抑えれる点でもいいと思います。

一番大事な、イルカツアーですが、スタッフも明るいですしどんな方が行っても楽しめるとおもいます。

ただ、私が行った時は、満員で船の中もいっぱいでゆっくりできなかったので、もう少し少人数のほうがいいかなと思います。

波とかはあんまりなかったですが、普段、船に乗りなれてない方や海の深いところで泳がれたりしていない人は、微妙な緊張で酔ったりすると思うので、少しでも、酔う心配のある人は、酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。

せっかくのおいしいチーズバーガーが食べれなくなります。

また、ハワイで、イルカに会いたくなったらイルカ大学でお世話になります☆
