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)>

The boiled shrimp dinner is excellent. ゆで海老ディナー、最高です。

Reviewed by: Peggy Suwayama

I went to Northshore with the intention of relaxing and taking it easy. At the beach, I took off my shoes to feel the waves, observed a turtle basking in the sun just a meter away, leisurely walked along a simple path, and admired the mangoes abundantly growing in the gardens of ordinary homes...

Now, we had dinner at Sunset Beach. There was a shrimp farm at the northern end, and they prepared fresh shrimp from there in a picnic box for us. I was pleased to see that our guide was mindful of the timing to provide us with warm dishes.

I recommend this place for those who want to unwind.

Northshore は、ゆっくり・のんびりを目的にして行きました。浜では、裸足になって波を感じ、上陸して日向ぼっこ中の亀さんを1メートル先に観察し、何と言うこともない道をのんびり歩き、マンゴーが普通の家の庭にたわわに実っているのを眺め・・・
さて、Sunset Beach で夕食をしました。北端に海老の養殖場があって、そこからの新鮮な海老を調理してピクニック用ボックスにしてくれました。我々に暖かい料理を提供しようとガイドさんが時間配分に気を使っているのが嬉しかったです。
のんびりしたい人にお勧めです。

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>

It was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: れいこ

I apologize for the delay in my post. In March, my husband, my daughter (who is 8 years old), and I participated in the snorkeling activity. It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!

ずいぶんおくれての書き込みで失礼致します 3月に主人 私 娘8歳の3人で参加させていただきました シュノーケルは私と娘は初めてでしたので 慣れるまでは少し怖かったのですが なかなか前に進めない私たちを後ろから押して泳いでくださり いいポイントまで連れて行ってくださったり 船の上でも子供にもとても親切にしていただき スタッフの皆さんの優しい心遣いがとてもうれしかったです イルカがとても近くを泳いでいるときに娘に気をとられていて あわててもぐり イルカの群れを見れました 主人はとても近くで見れたと大喜びしていました 小さな魚や海亀のたまごも見ることができました そして 鯨の時期でもあったので 鯨がゆうゆうと泳ぐ姿 鯨ジャンプまで見れ興奮しました またハワイに行った際には 是非参加させていただきたいと思っています ありがとうございました

We were able to see a pod of dolphins right after departing on the boat. The baby dolphin and the mother dolphin were really cute. It was my first time snorkeling, so I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to enjoy it. Also, the sea turtles were large, which surprised me. The clarity of the water was amazing, and it was really beautiful. The sight of fish swimming attached to the shell of the sea turtle was truly stunning.

Unfortunately...!! 残念ながら、、、!!

Reviewed by: アイボ

I participated in a spiritual tour.

After about an hour's drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the dock where we were each given a snorkeling set and a life jacket.

From there, we transferred to a boat that could hold about a dozen people, but when I went, it was full, and my husband was instructed to sit on the edge of the boat (laughs).

And off we went! The Hawaiian breeze felt wonderful, and I was in the mood of "Hawaii is the best~☆".

We sped to the spot where dolphins had appeared the day before, but there were no dolphins there... After moving around for a while without seeing any dolphins, we decided to look for sea turtles first and went snorkeling.

There were so many sea turtles! We were able to see about three at once, and it was amazing.

After that, we searched for dolphins again, but no matter where we went, we couldn't find any (tears).

Since we didn't see any dolphins today, we unfortunately had to return to the dock...

I was really disappointed. I wanted to swim with the dolphins.

When we were leaving, a staff member said, "I'm sorry you couldn't see any dolphins," but since they are living creatures, it can't be helped.

This became the theme for my next trip to Hawaii.

As everyone says, it gets quite cold after being in the water and then getting back on the boat, so I think it would be good to bring something like a windbreaker.

That concludes my experience of not seeing the dolphins.

スピリチュアルツアーに参加しました。

ワイキキから車で1時間ほどしたところから船着場に到着すると、それぞれにシュノーケリングセットとライフジャケットを配られます。

そこから10数名程度乗れるボートに乗り換えますが、
私が行ったときは満員で、旦那はボートのヘリに座るように指示されていました(笑

そこから出発です!ハワイの風が心地よくて、「ハワイ最高~☆」ってな気分です。

昨日イルカが現れたというポイントまで船を走らせますが、そこにはイルカおらず。。
しばらくあっちへこっちへ移動してもイルカがいなかったので、先に海がめを見ようということになり、シュノーケリングをしました。

海がめいっぱいいました。3匹くらいいっぺんに見ることができて、感激でした。

そこからまたイルカを探すのですが、行けど行けどイルカが見つからず(涙

今日はイルカは見られなかったとのことで、残念ながら船着場に戻ることになりました。。

本当に残念です。私もイルカと泳ぎたかったー。

帰るときにスタッフの人に「イルカに会えなくてごめんね」と言われましたが、生き物なので致し方ないですね。

次のハワイのテーマになりました。


皆さんが言うように、水につかった後に船に乗るとかなり寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーみたいなのを持っていくとよいなと思いました。


以上、見れなかった場合の体験談でした。

I had a great time.
There were large groups of dolphins swimming so close that I felt I could touch them.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I was amazed.
There were also many colorful fish, which was mystical.
I felt very relaxed.

You have a list called "10 things to do before I die" and you've just marked one thing as 'done' - this is what this tour feels like. Do it, and you won't regret. Just don't forget a pill of Bonine and waterproof camera with a long strap that you can put around your neck. If your camera is not waterproof, take it anyway, because you can take great pictures even from the boat.

Just one word: wonderful! すばらしいの一言☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Recently, my wife and I participated in a dolphin watching tour. We've been on several tours before, but this one was exceptional. First of all, it was a small group (only nine people), and the staff were very kind.

We were lucky that day; within about 3 to 4 minutes of boarding the boat, we encountered dolphins! There were no other tour groups around, and we got to enjoy the sight of 30 to 40 dolphins all to ourselves! The dolphins were swimming in circles in the same area, allowing us to get close multiple times. It was truly moving.

After the dolphin snorkeling, I thought that was the end, but we changed locations for snorkeling with turtles. This was also an incredible experience. Even if you don't get to see dolphins, I believe it's still worth it. Since it's a nature-based tour, there's no guarantee of seeing dolphins, but I recommend trusting your luck and giving it a try.

The sea might be a bit cold, so I suggest wearing a rash guard and bringing a jacket that you don't mind getting wet for the boat ride.

先日、嫁と二人で参加。今までいくつかイルカウォッチングツアーに参加して来ましたが、別格でした。まず少人数制で(今回は9名)スタッフがとても親切。
この日は運が良かったのか、日頃の行いがいいからか、船に乗って約3~4分ですぐにイルカと遭遇!まわりに他のツアーの人もいなくて、30~40頭のイルカを9名で独占!イルカ達は同じ当りをぐるぐる回って泳いでいて、何度も接近することが出来ました。感動です。
また、イルカとのシュノーケンリングが終わり、おしまいかなと思ったら、ポイントを変えて亀とのシュノーケリング。
こちらでも又感動。もしイルカにあえなくても十分価値があると思います。自然相手のツアーなのでイルカと合えるかどうかは、100%ではないと思うけど、日頃の行いを信じ是非参加してみては・・・お薦めです。
若干海が冷たいかもしれないので、ラッシュなど着て、船で羽織れるパーカーなど濡れても良いものを持っていくことをお薦めします。

So many memories! So many dolphins!! 思い出いっぱい!イルカさんいっぱい!!

Reviewed by: ALOHAのOHANA

The dolphin tour with Dolphin Hawaii is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it!!

I have participated in dolphin tours with other companies multiple times, but this was the first time I was able to swim so leisurely with the dolphins. Since it’s a small group, we were able to take our time. Thanks to that, I could swim among the pod of dolphins and felt like I was included with them. It was truly moving—an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. Moreover, I was so happy to hear the dolphins' chatter with my own ears.

Also, the staff member, Yuriko, is wonderful and can communicate with the dolphins, which might be why we encountered so many of them.

The captain and staff are attentive, providing an excellent sense of privacy and safety. Everyone is kind, and their Japanese is great, making our conversations very enjoyable.

Oh, and the snorkeling gear and the boat were clean and well-maintained.

By the way, I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel sick at all! The boat rides like it's jumping over the waves, making it feel like an attraction, which was so much fun.

They also provided a bag with snacks like donuts, treats, and water at the beginning, so it was nice to eat whenever I wanted without worrying.

Of course, the tour is not just about swimming with dolphins; you also get to experience honu (turtles), tropical fish, crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, and the warmth of the locals. I truly recommend it!

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so much, Yuriko!!!

もう、イルカハワイさんのツアーは最高です!
絶対オススメです!!

他社のイルカツアーに何度も参加しておりますが、こんなにもイルカさんとゆっくり泳げたのは初めてでした。
少人数制なので、時間をゆっくりとって頂けました。
おかげさまで、イルカさんの群れの中で一緒に泳ぐことができ、仲間に入れてもらえた感じを味わうことができました。
もう感動の一言です。一生の思い出です。
しかも、イルカさんのおしゃべりを自分の耳で聞くことができ、とても幸せでした。
また、スタッフのYURIKOさんはイルカさんとコミュニケーションがとれる素敵な方なので、たくさんのイルカさんに出逢うことができたのかもしれません。

船長さんやスタッフさんの目が行き届いていて、プライベート感・安心感は抜群です。
みなさん親切だし、日本語も上手で会話もとっても楽しませて頂きました。

あっ、シュノーケリングの道具やボートなども綺麗で、清潔感がありましたよ。

そうそう、船酔いする私ですが、全然酔いませんでした!
ボートが波の上をジャンプするように走るので、アトラクションのようでとっても楽しかったです。

軽食はドーナッツやお菓子、お水などセットされたバッグを最初に渡して下さるので、気にせず好きなときに食べられるのもよかったです。

もちろん、イルカさんと泳ぐ以外にもホヌ(亀さん)やトロピカルなお魚さん、透明度の高い海、雄大な山々、ロコの温かさに触れることができるツアーで、本当にオススメです!

また、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

YURIKOさん、本当にありがとうーーーーーーーーー!!!

I participated alone this time, but the staff and all the tour participants were very friendly, and I had a great time. In particular, the staff's hospitality made me feel comfortable and doubled the fun. I was truly moved to encounter so many dolphins and swim right next to them. I was also able to swim close to a sea turtle, which was cuter than I expected, and I completely fell in love with sea turtles. It was so adorable when it popped its head out of the water to breathe. I definitely want to participate again!

今回は一人での参加でしたが、スタッフを始めツアー参加者皆さん、とてもフレンドリーで本当に楽しかったです。
特にスタッフのホスピタリティあふれる対応は居心地がよく、楽しさも倍増でした。たくさんのイルカと出会え、すぐ横を泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。ウミガメも至近距離で泳ぐことができ、思ったよりもかわいく、すっかりウミガメが好きになりました。海面に息継ぎのためにプハッと顔を出すのがとってもかわいかったです。また是非参加したいと思います!

It was a dream-like experience! 夢の様な時間でした!

Reviewed by: aloalo

If you want to swim slowly with dolphins, this is definitely the place to go!! I have participated in many other companies' wild dolphin swimming tours, but this is the first time I was able to swim leisurely with dolphins to my heart's content☆ When I was among the pod of dolphins, it truly felt like a dream. Even when the dolphins swam away, we didn’t chase them; instead, we waited for them to come back♪ The dolphins came back to us multiple times. That was probably thanks to our guide, Yuriko. Yuriko is such a fascinating person. She swims with the dolphins as if she is having a conversation with them, and it seems the dolphins enjoy swimming with her too. The other staff members were marine biologists, so they were very knowledgeable about marine life. And their Japanese was excellent! They made our conversations enjoyable.

And of course, it’s not just about the dolphins. They also take you to the Dragon Palace. Initially, we went to the waters of Makaha, but the day we went, the waves were high and the visibility wasn’t great. So, they changed the destination. They said there weren’t many waves near the power plant, so we headed there instead. As promised, it was a beautiful spot where we could see plenty of fish and even swim with turtles. It was nice that they adjusted to the situation like that.

On the way back, we encountered another pod of dolphins. This time, we leisurely watched the dolphins from the boat. The dolphins showcased their signature jumps.

It was truly a fulfilling experience.

Lastly, I usually get seasick, but I was fine on this boat! It was very fast and felt like gliding over the waves. It was so much fun, like being on an amusement ride!

イルカとゆっくり泳ぎたいのなら、断然ココです!!
今まで何度も他社の野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しましたが、あんなにもゆっくり思う存分イルカと一緒に泳いだのはココがはじめてです☆
イルカの群れの中にいるときは、本当に夢の様な時間でした。
イルカが行ってしまっても無理に追いかけたりせず、またイルカが帰ってくるのを待っています♪イルカ達は何度も私達の元に来てくれました。
それはきっとガイドのYurikoさんがいたからじゃないかな。Yurikoさんはとっても不思議な人。
まるでイルカと会話しているように楽しそうにイルカ達と一緒に泳ぎます。イルカ達もYurikoさんと一緒に泳ぐのが楽しいのでしょうね。
他のスタッフさんも海洋学者ということで、とっても海の生物に詳しかったです。そして日本語がとってもお上手!会話でも楽しませてくれました。
そして、もちろんイルカだけではありません。竜宮城へも連れて行ってくれます。はじめはマカハの海へ行ったのですが、私達が行った日は波が高く、透明度があまり良くありませんでした。そしたら、行き先変更。発電所近くは波があまりないということで、そちらの方へ行きました。話の通り、とっても綺麗な場所で、お魚もたくさん見れましたし、カメさんとも一緒に泳ぐことができました。
こんな風に状況に合わせて対応してくれるところも嬉しいですね。
帰りには、またイルカの群れに遭遇。今度はボートの上からのんびりイルカを眺めました。お得意のジャンプをたくさん披露してくれたイルカ。

本当に心満たされた時間でした。

最後に、私はいつも船酔いしてしまうのですが、こちらのボートは大丈夫でしたよ!とっても早くて波の上を滑る感じ。アトラクションに乗っているみたいでとっても楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: ヨッシー

Departing directly by bus from the meeting point near the Waikiki accommodation, we enjoyed views of Diamond Head, the Kahala area, Hanauma Bay, and Sandy Beach along the way, arriving in about 30 minutes. There were Japanese staff members near the reception and at various points, which was reassuring.

This time, I participated in the Royal Swim. The program involved being pulled by the dorsal fins of two dolphins and a foot push program, which both seemed challenging and made me anxious about whether I could do it. However, when I waited in the posture that was explained to me beforehand, the dolphins smartly and perfectly coordinated their movements to pull and push me with great balance. It felt like the dolphins were playing with me, and I was once again impressed by their intelligence.

On the way back, the photos and DVD from today's interaction were a bit pricey, but they turned out great and serve as a wonderful keepsake. I think opportunities to interact with dolphins like this are rare in Japan, so I absolutely recommend experiencing it.

Rather than healing, it's about actively engaging. 癒しというより積極的に触合う

Reviewed by: Nori

I went to the Royal Swim without transportation provided. There was no problem just handing over the voucher. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but it seemed the sun was strong. The dolphin-related facility requires a separate check-in, and while the counter and the explanatory video are available in Japanese, the instructions from the instructor in the pool are only in English.

I brought a waterproof camera, but it was not allowed in the pool. However, there was hardly any time to take photos as we were continuously engaged in activities. You can enjoy being pushed by the dolphins and holding onto their dorsal fins. The park staff takes photos of four different poses and also records videos at the same time. You can purchase the photos and DVD about an hour after the attraction ends at the souvenir shop. The DVD costs $49 and includes all participants. (If there are many people, it seems they divide into teams, so this means for that team.) The photos were similarly priced for four images. Overall, it feels more like enjoying the attraction rather than being healed by the dolphins.

Besides loads of sharks we also saw a couple whales. Recommend you bring a water proof camera [taking digital videos and pulling frames for desired stills works best], go early because the water is usually calmer, and go on an empty stomach. The time in the cage went too fast me!

I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.

There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.

The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.

We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.

Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.

The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.

I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.

2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。

総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。

キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。

ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。

お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。

シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。

ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。

イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。
