I was a bit anxious at first because the staff only spoke English, but the meeting place was easy to find, and the staff were friendly. Even without understanding English, I had a great time. The view of Waikiki from the snorkeling point was amazing, and it was an experience I couldn't have anywhere else. There were plenty of sizes for the goggles, life jackets, and fins, so I was able to borrow ones that fit me well. The staff were always nearby in the water, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling. I was able to encounter a honu and swim with many fish, which was a lot of fun. After snorkeling, we received free drinks and snacks, and I had a Mai Tai. I would love to participate again.

The meeting place was the yacht harbor on the ocean side of the Waikiki Prince Hotel, and it was easy to find. It was close to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and there was also a Waikiki Trolley stop nearby. There were about 30 participants from all over the world, making it a popular tour. The staff on board spoke only English, but we were able to enjoy snorkeling without any issues and even encountered a honu (sea turtle).
After about an hour of snorkeling, we were served drinks and snacks, and then we sailed a bit further out. The view of Waikiki from the sea was very beautiful, and it was a wonderful experience. I would love to participate again.

I was surprised to be welcomed by a pod of spinner dolphins as soon as we set sail. This time, I was able to swim with the dolphins multiple times, and it was an indescribably moving experience. They might have come over to play with us. I also thought the ocean was truly beautiful.

I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.
It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.
There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.
I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.
事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。

I had planned to see sea turtles in Okinawa before, but I couldn't, so I went to Hawaii for a second chance. I was able to see them successfully. One turtle came up to the surface, and about four were gathered at the bottom.
The explanations are given in English, but they also use gestures, so even if you're not good at English, you can understand the atmosphere.
Also, I personally didn't get seasick, but the water can be quite choppy during the boat ride and activities, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication if you're worried about getting seasick. It can also be surprisingly cold.
I highly recommend it! It was a wonderful experience!
以前沖縄でウミガメを見ようと思ったのですが、その時は見られずハワイでリベンジ。無事見ることができました。1匹水面に上がって来ていたのと、4匹ぐらい底に固まっていました。
説明は英語で行われますが、ジェスチャー交えて説明してもらえるので、英語が得意でなくとも雰囲気でなんとなくわかります。
あと私は特に酔わなかったのですが、船やアクティビティ中の水面は結構波打つので、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを持っていくことをお勧めします。それと意外と寒いです。
おすすめです!素晴らしい体験になりました!
The restrooms near the meeting point are not very clean, so it's best to use the restrooms at the Prince Waikiki Hotel.

It was my first time seeing dolphins up close like this. It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins with the Dolphin University boat, and I was able to be with them for a long time.
With the support of Minako, I was able to snorkel safely. I gradually got used to it and was able to move around on my own. Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, and I was able to experience everything.
My husband was a bit flustered during his first snorkeling experience and couldn't see the fish or the sea turtle, but he received constant support, so he wants to try again.
The slide afterward was intense and fun, but you have to be careful when sliding, or you'll end up swallowing seawater. I felt a bit seasick a few times when the boat moved quickly, but they kindly checked on me.
If I go snorkeling again, I think I'll choose Dolphin University.
こんなに間近でイルカを見ることができたのは初めてでした。イルカ大学の船と一緒に泳いでくれているようで、ずっとイルカと一緒にいられました。

夫は初めてのシュノーケリングで慌ててしまい魚もウミガメも見ることができませんでしたが、ずっとサポートしてくださったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。
その後の滑り台も激しくて面白かったですが、滑る時に注意しないと海水を飲みます。

However, I didn't see as many fish as I had expected. The boat that takes you to the submarine, and the submarine itself when it's near the surface, can be quite rocky. Neither my husband nor I are prone to seasickness, but we both felt a bit queasy.

Shortly after arriving offshore, we encountered a type of dolphin called the false killer whale. They are very large dolphins, and I will never forget the sight of a family swimming towards us in the water. They passed by us once, but then returned nearby, and the mother and child began to play, going up and down vertically at the surface. We were able to watch them closely for a long time. Later, our guide told us that the father dolphin had come to scout us out first and check us out. Once he gave the OK, the mother and child continued to play nearby.
At the shallow snorkeling spot we moved to afterward, we saw fish below and slowly swimming sea turtles (honu). The honu occasionally came up to the surface to breathe, poking their heads out, which was very adorable.
Finally, a pod of spinner dolphins appeared, showing their twin dorsal fins at the surface, and some even spun around, which was very cute. There were probably around 50 of them. I was surprised to hear that they are nocturnal and that during the day, half of their brains are asleep, allowing them to swim almost while sleeping.
Our Japanese guide, who was also our driver and joined us in the water, shared information about the types and behaviors of the dolphins, which was very nice! His name was Ryuichi. The main guide was a cool woman named Brooke, who dove deep like a mermaid and took a lot of videos for us. The captain told us, "Now! Jump into the sea!" and we splashed in, floating on the surface. When we looked down, dolphins were swimming by and turtles were gliding around...
Our family borrowed wetsuits, but since no other participants from Europe or America were wearing them, we found it quite warm before entering the water. With a large bath towel, we probably wouldn't have needed them at all.
沖に到着して間もなく、コビレゴンドウと言う種類のイルカに出会えました。
とても大きなイルカで、水の中でファミリーが並んでこちらへ向かってくる姿は忘れられません。一度通り過ぎましたが、その後近くに戻ってきて、親子が水面へ垂直に上がったり下がったりして遊び始め、その姿をずーーと傍で見ることが出来ました。後でガイドさんのお話で、最初にお父さんイルカが偵察に来て私たちをチェックしていたのだとか。お父さんのOKが出て、お母さんと子供が近くで遊び続けていたのだそうです。
その後移動した浅瀬のシュノーケルスポットでは、下にお魚と、ゆっっくり泳ぐウミガメ(ホヌ)達が。ホヌは時々息をしに海面へあがってきてぽこっと頭を出します。それがとても愛らしい。
最後はスピナードルフィンの群れが現れ、海面にツインで背びれを見せて、時々スピンする子もいてとてもかわいい。多分50匹くらいはいそうでした。夜行性だそうで、昼間は脳の半分は寝ていてほぼ寝ながら泳いでいると聞いて驚きました。これで寝ているなんて・・・。日本人ガイドの方(ドライバー兼海にも一緒に入ります)がイルカの種類や習性なども教えてくれたのが、とても良かったです!龍一さんという方でした。
メインのガイドはブルックという格好良い女性で、人魚のように深く潜って行ったり、動画を沢山撮ってきてくれました。私たちは船長に「今だ!海へ入れ!」と言われ、ジャブンとして水面でプカプカ浮いて、「下見て!!」と言わ、顔をつけて見ていると、ちょうどイルカが通って行ったり、カメが泳いでいたり・・・。
私たち家族は一応、ウエットスーツを借りましたが(他の欧米参加者で借りている人はなし)海に入るまでは逆に暑いくらいで、大きなバスタオルがあれば、確かに要らなかったかなという感じでした。
If you have even a little experience with seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I forgot to bring mine, but the boat was quite small, accommodating about 15 people, and it rocked
少しでも船酔い経験のある方は、酔い止めををおすすめします。私は忘れてしまったのですが、船は15人乗りくらいのものですごく揺れました。子供含め家族6人で参加しましたが、ほぼ全員が酔いました。笑

We participated as a family of four. Since I had an injury on my foot, they lent me a lifeguard. Once we entered the sea, there were many fish swimming around. After swimming for a while, I was able to see a turtle swimming at the bottom. It was a valuable experience since I had never seen a turtle before. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.
家族4人で参加しました。足を怪我していながらの体験だったので、ライフガードを貸していただきました。いざ海に入るとたくさんの魚が泳いでいました。しばらく泳いでいるとウミガメが1匹底に泳いでいるのを見ることができました。今までウミガメを見たことがなかったので、貴重な体験でした。また機会があれば参加したいです。
I borrowed a lifeguard float, but I felt that a regular float was sufficient since it became uncomfortable to stay underwater for too long. I usually don't get motion sickness, but I ended up feeling
ライフガードをお借りしたものの、ずっと潜っていると苦しくなってくるので浮き輪で十分だと感じました。普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、船酔いしてしまったので酔い止めがあると良いかもしれません。

I enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful waters off Waikiki. I was able to see turtles and schools of fish swimming slowly underwater. From the boat, I had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki, creating wonderful memories.
ワイキキ沖の綺麗な海でシュノーケリングを楽しみました。海中をゆっくりと泳ぐカメや魚の群れを見ることができました。船からダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテルが一望できてとても美しい景色で良い思い出になりました。
My wife and younger daughter were able to borrow life jackets. For those who are not good at swimming, the current might have been a bit challenging.
妻と下の娘はライフジャケットを借りることができました。泳ぎの苦手な人にとっては潮の流れが速くて少しハードだったかも。

It's a real submarine. Although it was made for tourism, you can see the bottom of the ocean in Waikiki. The air conditioning works well, so it's comfortable, and I was able to see small fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.
本物の潜水艦です。観光用に作られたものではありますが、ワイキキの海の底を見ることができます。エアコンがきちんと効いているので快適だし、小さな魚やシャークをを見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでした。
For those who want to explore from the ocean, you travel by boat to a submarine from the beach, but it was quite rocky. It’s not for a very long time, so you probably won’t need motion sickness medica
海の中から観光したい人向け。ビーチからボートで潜水艦まで移動しますが、けっこう揺れました。それほど長時間ではないので酔い止め薬は要らないかな。

The two star review is because we did get to see Manta Rays, and they were amazing. But the company itself only deserves one star. They were a disorganized mess from start to finish and it seemed like they had never led a tour before. We showed up to the storefront on time, but they spent so much time with a family with lots of kids (making changes, asking questions, listening to their complaints, etc.) that by the time they checked us in we were rushing to make it to the boat on time. We had to park far away and were running to get to the dock. We didn't realize we didn't need to rush because the people at the dock had no idea what was going on. They couldn't organize people into groups, they counted over and over, hoping people were coming out of the bathroom, and we had to tell them that a group of three had canceled at the storefront at the last minute and wouldn't be showing up. The leader of our group seemed like she had never lead a tour before. They got us out to the viewing area with no issues, but once we arrived there was much yelling among the guides about how to turn on the light boards, how to hook them together, how to swim and pull them together, etc. The tour as advertised said everyone needed to know how to swim, but they let quite a few little children come on the tour. All of the kids were freaked out in the dark water and there was a lot of crying and screaming. Then fire worms (stinging sea centipedes that usually live at the bottom but come out to reproduce around the full moon) appeared. That was obviously not the fault of the tour guides, but we kept asking what the creatures were and our guide said she had no idea, but no need to worry (even though she's a marine biologist). Eventually mass panic ensued as people were being stung by the fire worms, so they loaded us on the boats early and took us back. My husband swam and pulled all the light boards back to the boat because the tour guides were so confused/disorganized.
Children under the age of 13 should not go on this tour!

Brooke, who took the photos
Thank you for an amazing experience!
It was a very precious experience.
We dove with dolphins twice, and both times it was a false killer whale!
During the first dive, we swam hard and caught a glimpse of the pod. On the second dive, before we could swim much, we encountered a father, mother, and child. At first, the father was cautious, but once he realized we were not a threat, the mother began to train the child on how to breathe right in front of us, repeating it several times! A few times, they came up right below us, which was a bit scary (laughs). After saying goodbye, surprisingly, the mother and child returned to show us the child swimming again! Was it a proud moment for them? It was moving!
At the turtle spot, we saw about three turtles just sitting still, allowing us to watch them being cleaned by fish. While looking down, one suddenly appeared right beside us, observed us for a while, and then swam away!
On the way back, we swam alongside a pod of about 50 spinner dolphins, watching them spin and seeing the little ones attempt jumps. It was adorable to see a tiny baby swimming with the whole family.
Steff accurately read the dolphins' movements and gave us dive instructions. Ryuichi drove the shuttle bus, provided precise interpretation on the boat, and supported the children with life vests during the dives, which was a great help. The lovely staff member Brooke swam at the front, took photos, and quickly shared the footage via AirDrop. It became a wonderful memory!
Thank you, everyone.
This time, there were 17 people on the boat, with 6 of us being Japanese!

凄い体験、ありがとうございました!
とても貴重な体験でした。
イルカは2回ダイブしましたが、2回ともコビレゴンドウでした。イルカと言うかクジラでした!
1回目はダイブして頑張って泳いで群れがちらっと見えました。2回目はダイブしてあまり泳がないうちにすぐ、
お父さん、お母さん、子供の3頭で、最初のうちはお父さんが警戒していましたが、敵ではないと分かったらしくお母さんが子供に呼吸の仕方を、私達の目の前で何度も繰り返しトレーニングしてくれました!何度かは真下から上がって来て、少し怖いぐらいでした(笑)その後さよならしたのですが、何と!再びお母さんと子供が戻ってきて、子供を紹介する様に、再び私達に泳いでいる子供を見せにきてくれました!!
自慢の子供なのかな?感動しました!
亀のスポットも最初から3匹ほどじっつとして、魚にクリーニングしている姿を見せてくれました。
下をみていたら、突然真横に現れて、こっちを観察してくれてしばらく回りを泳いでくれた後潜って行きました!
その後は帰りにスピナードルフィンの50頭くらいの群れと並走して、スピンしてくれたり、子供の失敗ジャンプを見たり、本当に小さな赤ちゃんが家族みんなと一緒に泳いで可愛かったです。
ステッフは的確にイルカの動きを読んで、ダイブの指示をくれて、
龍一さんは、送迎バスの運転や、ボート上では的確に通訳して下さり、ダイブしたらしんがりを努めて下さり、子供を救命様の浮きでサポートして下さり、助かりました。
綺麗なスタッフのブルックさんは、先頭で泳いでくれて、撮影もしてくれて、映像をすぐにエアドロップで共有して下さり。大変良い思い出になりました!
皆様、ありがとうございました。
船は今回は17名で6名日本人でした!
It would have been nice to have motion sickness medication since my child got seasick. Also, for snorkeling, it's different when you're outside, but you'll enjoy it more if you practice a little befor
子供が船酔いしてしまったので、酔い止めあったら良かったです。
あとシュノーケルも、外用では勝手が違いますが、少し練習してから、参加した方が楽しめます!
あと、当日ウェットスーツ借りました10ドルでした
Aloha! Thank you, AKI, for participating with your family at Dolphin Middle School. We also appreciate the wonderful photos you shared and the five-star rating. It was truly fortunate to swim with the mother and baby false killer whales, the second largest dolphins in the world! The power, beauty, and emotion of that moment come through in the photos!
