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>

Amazing!! I participated in the first tour!! 最高!!第一号ツアー参加しちゃいました!!

Reviewed by: NAIA

Last year during my trip to Hawaii, I did a dolphin swim with a different tour. That experience was so wonderful that I wanted to do it again this year, so I searched for a tour and found this incredibly affordable one, which I decided to join. Honestly, I was worried about the quality compared to the previous tour since it was much cheaper, but... those worries were completely unnecessary (laughs). On the contrary, it was so much better than the previous tour!! Anyway, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was long!! As a huge dolphin lover, this was the most delightful aspect for me.

Waianae, located at the western tip of Oahu, is about an hour's drive from Waikiki and is a truly quiet and beautiful place with untouched nature and few tourists. Along the way, we were shown some small sightseeing spots, so it wasn't boring at all. Moreover, the hotel pickup time was about an hour later than the previous tour, making the morning much easier. But the content of the tour was more fulfilling than the previous one. The warm hospitality from the local staff, including our tour guide Yuriko, who speaks Japanese well, was truly healing. There was also a professional photographer who took pictures during the tour, and we could buy those photos later, making it perfect for creating memories.

Maybe it was a lucky day, but we encountered a pod of over 100 dolphins, and there were dolphins everywhere we looked!! I was so excited, it was overwhelming!! Dolphins were jumping all around!! There were also many baby dolphins swimming closely with their mothers, which was incredibly cute!! I couldn't get enough!! They also took us to a sea turtle spot, and I was able to touch a turtle for the first time. And it happened twice!! Furthermore, on the way back to the harbor, we encountered a whale that should have already returned to Alaska!! It was truly an exciting tour. According to the staff, they are planning one-day and one-week tours, so I'm really looking forward to participating again next time. For a first tour, it was unbelievably wonderful. I have no intention of trying other tours in the future!! I want to join this tour again next year. I'm really grateful to all the staff who warmly welcomed me, a solo participant who was feeling anxious!! Thank you very much!! Since it's a special occasion, I'll attach a photo of the mother and baby dolphins from that time. They're just too cute!

 去年のハワイ旅行の時に、別のツアーですがドルフィンスイムをしました。その体験が素晴らしかったので、今年もやりたくてツアーを探したところ、とってもお値打ちなこのツアーを見つけて参加を決めました。正直、以前のツアーに比べてかなりお値打ちのため、どんな内容なのかを心配をしていましたが・・・その心配はまったく無駄なものでした(笑)。それどころか、以前参加したツアーとは比べ物にならないくらい素晴らしいものでした!!とにかく、イルカと一緒に泳げる時間が長い!!大のイルカ好きの私にとっては何よりも嬉しいことです。ワイキキから車で一時間、手付かずの大自然が広がるオアフ島の西の果てのワイアナエという場所は、観光客も少なく本当に静かで美しい場所です。道中もちょっとした観光スポットを教えてもらえたりするので、退屈しません。しかもホテルのピックアップの時間が以前のツアーと比べて一時間ほど遅いのですごく朝が楽です。でも内容は以前のツアーよりも充実していました。ツアーガイドのゆりこさん始め、日本語の上手な地元のスタッフの暖かい対応にも本当に癒されます。ツアーの様子を撮影してくれるプロのカメラマンさんもいて、後からその写真を買うこともできて、思い出作りにはもってこいですね。その日はラッキーデーだったのか、100頭を超えるイルカの群れに遭遇し、どこを見てもイルカだらけ!!感無量とはこのことだ!!なんて興奮していました(笑)。イルカジャンプもいたるところで炸裂してました!!ベビーイルカもたくさんいて、お母さんイルカと寄り添って泳いでいる姿は本当にキュート!!たまりません!!海亀スポットにも連れて行ってくれて、初めて亀に触ることができました。しかも2回も!!さらに、港への帰り道には、今はもうアラスカに帰ってしまっているはずの鯨と遭遇!!本当にエキサイティングなツアーでした。スタッフの方の話では1日ツアーや1週間ツアーも企画中とのことで、次回の参加が本当に楽しみです。第一号ツアーにしてはできすぎなくらいに本当に素晴らしいものでした。今後は他のツアーには浮気するつもりはありません!!来年もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています。一人参加で不安がっていた私を暖かく迎えてくれたスタッフのみなさんに本当に感謝です!!ありがとうございました!!せっかくなので、そのときの親子イルカの写真を添付します。かわいすぎます

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Great Trip!

Reviewed by: Janie

My husband and I had a wonderful excursion! We saw a pod of over 100 dolphin, and the staff made 3 "drop" passes to be sure that everyone got to see the dolphins in the water. The area with the turtles was great, even got to see a ray, and the area where the fish are is AMAZING! We literally swam with hundreds and hundreds of fish all around us. The crew was fantastic, the excursion met and exceeded our expectations.

whale cruise

Reviewed by: vogels colorado

we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Fantastic!!!

Reviewed by: M & Mrs. M

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

Just before boarding, the trip was canceled due to poor visibility in the water, which affected the next schedule, but I was able to board the next day. It was my first experience, so I was excited. The boat ride to the submarine, feeling the sea breeze, was enjoyable and refreshing. However, the underwater view was not as clear as I had expected. I had imagined a slightly clearer sea. Overall, I think it's an experience worth trying at least once.

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>

A fulfilling tour full of fun, not just with dolphins! イルカだけじゃない楽しさいっぱいの充実ツアー!

Reviewed by: モンステラ

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!

朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です!!
イルカの群れを1m以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇! 船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード! また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとDVDで編集して翌日には渡してくれます! これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります! ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです! 絶対お勧めのツアーです! 少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です!!
本当に楽しかったです!スタッフの皆さん、マハロ!!!

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>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: てらしん

This was my fifth time in Hawaii, but it was my first visit to Sea Life Park. I had participated in dolphin watching tours before, but this tour was incredibly satisfying. I was able to see, touch, and even kiss the dolphins up close. At first, I thought, "This is a bit expensive," but considering the experience I had, I felt it was worth it. The staff hardly spoke any Japanese at all. They talked about the precautions when interacting with the dolphins, but I understood very little. Most of the participants were American, and I managed to follow along by mimicking them. One thing I learned was that you should not touch the dolphins' eyes. I was a bit confused at times, but the dolphins were so adorable. It made me feel very happy. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to have even more experiences at Sea Life Park.

5回目のハワイでしたが初めてシーライフパークに行きました。以前にもイルカを見るツアーなどに参加した事がありましたがこのツアーは大満足でした。まじかにイルカを見れ、触れ、キスまで・・・。最初は”少し高いなー”と思っていましたがこれだけの体験をできるなら安いと思いました。飼育係りの方は全くと言うくらい日本語はできません。イルカと接する注意点などを話していましたがほとんど解りませんでした。参加者もほとんどアメリカ系の人でその人達の見よう見真似で何とかなりました。一つ解った事はイルカの目に触れてはいけないという事くらいでした。色々戸惑いましたがやはりイルカはとっても可愛かったです。とても幸せな気分になりました。今度ハワイに行ったらシーライフパークでもっと色々な体験をしてみたいです。

【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>

I saw a whale! クジラ見ました!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The meal, the activities alongside the watching, and the prices were all satisfactory. We saw whales several times!! However, they didn't jump as much as in the photos. It felt more like their fins were rolling with the waves. Still, being able to experience whales up close like this is truly unique to Hawaii.

食事内容、ウォッチングと平行しているアクティビティー、料金とも納得できるものでした。クジラも何度か出てくれましたしね!!でもあの写真程はジャンプしませんでした。波とともに背びれがうねる~と言う感じです。それにしても こんなに近くでクジラを感じられるのはやはりハワイならではですよね。

Thank you very much for participating in the whale watching tour. We look forward to having you on board again.

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

Atlantis Sub Ride

Reviewed by: Lori & Craig

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.

We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.

Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

I really got to meet you! ほんとに会えた!

Reviewed by: ちぃ。

It was an early morning departure from a still chilly start, but when we reached the point, we were able to see an unexpected pod of dolphins even from the boat. There were mother and baby dolphins, and dolphins jumping out of the water.

Due to the sea conditions that day, we ended up sitting on the ladder of the boat and peering into the water for dolphin watching, but we were able to see the dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close, which was truly moving.

After moving to a calm spot, we enjoyed plenty of snorkeling and encountered colorful fish and sea turtles. We also had fun playing with the kayak we brought on board, and the hamburgers and pineapples we ate on the boat were delicious!

The staff were all fun and considerate, keeping the participants engaged! I entrusted the camera to a local staff member for underwater dolphin photos, and we got a lot of great shots (laughs).

Finally, we even had a hula lesson, making it a wonderful experience. Despite being such a packed tour, it ended in half a day, allowing us to spend a meaningful day.

まだ肌寒い早朝からのの出航でしたが、ポイントに着くと、思いがけないほどのイルカの群れが船の上からでも確認できました。親子イルカや、海上にジャンプするイルカ・・。
この日は海のコンディションにより、船にかけたハシゴに腰掛け、水のなかに顔をつっこんでのドルフィンウォッチングとなりましたが、船と併走して泳ぐイルカ達の様子を、本当に間近で見ることができ、感動です。 
また、穏やかな場所に移動してから、たっぷりシュノーケリングもして、色とりどりの魚や海がめにも出会えました。他にも、船に積んできたカヤックで遊んだり、船上で食べたハンバーガーやパイナップルも美味しかったです☆ 
スタッフが全員楽しく、気遣いのある方ばかりで、参加者を飽きさせません!
イルカの水中写真は、現地のスタッフの人にカメラを託して撮ってもらったら、いい写真が沢山撮れました(笑)。
最後にフラレッスンまでついて、いい経験になりましたよ。
こんな盛り沢山のツアーなのに半日で終わるので、1日有意義に過ごせました。
