Hawaii
Dinner was tasty and watching the sunset over the ocean while sailing along the Maui coastline was the perfect pair.
I encountered many dolphins and sea turtles.
The plan was specifically focused on snorkeling, and I had an amazing time.
The cheeseburger for lunch was quite filling and delicious.
Thank you, Yuji, Kristen, and Jason.
沢山のイルカとウミガメに出会えました。
シュノーケリングだけに特化したプランで、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。
ランチのチーズバーガーは結構ボリュームがあり美味しかったです。

No restrooms.
The sunlight is strong.
Sunscreen is a must.
I recommend renting a wetsuit to prevent sunburn.
トイレなし。
日差し強いです。
日焼け止め必須。
日焼け防止の為にも、ウェットスーツのレンタルをオススメします。
Aloha! Thank you, M.K.O, for participating in Dolphin School. We appreciate you sharing not only wonderful photos but also insights about the features of Dolphin School and the wetsuit rental. It was great to encounter so many dolphins and sea turtles!! Thank you also for your comments about the crew. Please do come visit us when you're in Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! M.K.Oさま。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございます。また素敵な写真のみならず、イルカ中学の特徴やウェットスツーツのレンタルに関しても共有していただき感謝いたします。沢山のイルカとウミガメに出会えて良かったです!! クルーに関するコメントもありがとうござすいます。ぜひ、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。M.K.Oさまのまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
Can I really meet Manta rays!? When I entered the sea and looked around, there were so many sea urchins, and yes, there they were! I was able to see a lot of Manta rays. At first, they swam back and forth near the seabed, and after about 10 minutes, they showed me their bellies. They really came close enough to touch. My husband was so excited that he got to touch them with his fins! I've seen sea turtles a few times, but this was the most thrilling experience. The hot chocolate was delicious!
本当にMantaに会える!?
海に入り覗くと、ウニがいっぱい、
いました、いました!たくさんのMantaに会える事ができました。最初は海底を何回か往復、あと10分くらいかな?と合図が、今度はお腹を見せてくれました。本当に手に届くところまで来てくれます。夫はヒレで触ってもらった!と、大興奮。ウミガメは何回か見たことがありますが最高に感激興奮してぃます。ホットチョコ、美味しかった!
I'm relieved that the Japanese staff member, Ms. Tamae, is here. She provides kind advice.
日本人スタッフ、たまえさんがいらっしゃったので安心です。優しくアドバイスしていただけます。
We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!
While waiting for the manta rays to arrive, we watched the sunset offshore from the airport. For those who get seasick, this might be a bit of a challenge. Once we got into the water, the manta rays gracefully swam right beneath us. We were able to see many of them.
空港沖合で夕陽を見ながら、マンタが来るのを待ちます。
船酔いする人は、ここが少し我慢のところかな。
海に入ればマンタが、優雅に私たちの真下を泳いで通過してくれます。
何枚も見れました。
I got hungry while watching the manta rays. I think it's better to have a little snack before boarding.
マンタを見ている時に、お腹が空きました。少し満たしてから乗船したほうが良いと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Manta Tour with Hawaii Marine Life Charters. We are honored to have provided you with a wonderful experience. From January to late March, mother and calf humpback whales will be visiting. We look forward to your next trip to the Big Island and to assisting you in finding new wonderful experiences.
アロハ!ハワイマリンライフチャーターのマンタツアーに、ご参加いただき大変有り難うございます。
かわゆか様に素敵な体験をご提供でき、私どもは光栄です。
1月から3月の下旬まで、座頭クジラの親子がやってきます。
かわゆか様の、またのハワイ島へのご来島と、我々が、新たな素敵な体験探しのお手伝いが出来る事を、
心待ちにしております。
This is a tour that starts at sunset. The sunset is incredibly beautiful!
We were firmly reminded not to touch the manta rays, and after receiving some additional explanations, we dove into the sea. For the first few minutes, we couldn't see anything, and I thought maybe today would be a bust, but suddenly one appeared right in front of me. They circled around multiple times, and not just once, but several times, two of them came in a line. Although we were told not to touch them, my husband ended up getting touched by a manta ray, and we were both so excited. Our Japanese guide, Tamae, was very kind and helpful.
Since we were in the water for a long time, our bodies got cold. Renting a wetsuit was a good decision, but we didn't take it off when we returned to the boat, and we ended up freezing. It would have been better to take off the suit and wrap ourselves in towels once we got out. The hot chocolate they handed out was soothing for our chilled bodies.
I thought we would have to pay for the photos the guide was taking, but to my pleasant surprise, they sent the data directly to our phones right away.
If you rent a car, the meeting location is easy to find, so you won't have any trouble. Above all, the experience made the tour price feel very reasonable. If you come to the Big Island, you should definitely try this!
サンセットから始まるツアーです。夕日はすごい綺麗です!
マンタには絶対触れない‼️事を念を押され、その他説明を受けて海へダイブ、最初の数分は見られなくて、今日はハズレなのかなぁ〜なんて思ったらいきなり目の前に現れる。何回も旋回して目の前にも現れてくれるし、一回だけじゃなく何回も来てくれて2匹が列組んで来たり絶対に触れてはいけないと言われましたが、主人の身体にマンタの方から触れて大興奮です。日本人ガイドのタマエさんがとても親切で助かりました。
海に入っている時間が長いので身体が冷えます。ウェットスーツをレンタルして良かったけど、船に戻っても脱がなかった私達は冷え切ってしまいました。上がったらスーツは脱いでタオルにくるまっていれば良かったです。冷えた身体に配られたホットチョコはしみました。
ガイドさんが撮影していたから有料で買わされるんだろうなぁ〜と思ってましたが、データを携帯にすぐに送ってくれて、嬉しい驚きでした。
レンタカー借りていれば現地集合も場所もわかりやすいので困りません。
何よりツアー代金を安価に思わせる内容だったです。是非ハワイ島に来たら体験して下さい‼️
It's recommended to wear a swimsuit, and it's better to rent a wetsuit for $10 per person. If you don't see a manta ray, you can retry for free, so it's best to participate with some flexibility.
水着は着用して参加、ウェットスーツはレンタルした方がよいです。1人10ドル
もし、マンタが見られなかった場合には無料でリトライ出来るそうなので、余裕を持って参加した方が良いです。
We learned a lot from the trainers. They gave us factual and interesting information. Dolphin and visitor safety is of the utmost importance to them.
The father and son team that run this operation and tour were outstanding, really cared for everyone and very professional.
The manta ray came right up close, almost within reach. But I held back; I mustn't touch it. It was a dream-like hour.
直ぐそこまでマンタが寄ってきて
手が届きそう。
でも我慢ガマン、触っちゃだめです。
夢の様な1時間でした。
My 3-year-old child couldn't dive into the sea yet, but I wanted to show him sea turtles and fish, so we participated. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles, and my son was very happy. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but the timeshare sales staff provided detailed instructions, which was helpful.
3歳の子どもはまだ海に潜れず、でもウミガメや魚を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。
運良くウミガメも見られて、息子も大喜びでした。
集合場所が少し分かりにくかったですが、タイムシェアの営業の方が詳しく教えてくださったので助かりました。
The meeting place is at the sign for Atlantis Submarine, and when I mentioned my name, I was told to come to the pier in XX minutes. There was a roof and a place to sit and wait at the pier.
集合場所はAtlantis submarine の看板があるところで、名前を告げると桟橋のところに〇〇分に来てと言われました。
桟橋には屋根と座って待機する場所がありました。
We participated as a couple in our 60s. We were the only Japanese participants among many others, from small children to elderly people, and it was an incredibly fun and fulfilling tour packed with activities according to the schedule.
As soon as we boarded, breakfast was served on the ship, followed by cruising, snorkeling around Molokini Island, more cruising, lunch, and snorkeling around Kihei. It felt like a full day tour, and we were able to see fish and turtles, making it an unforgettable experience.
Additionally, as many others have shared in their testimonials, we were deeply moved by the kind and attentive service from the Japanese staff, Takako and Kana. Their consideration for us as Japanese participants, as well as for the other participants, was outstanding, making it a very pleasant and enjoyable tour. Thank you so much for this truly wonderful experience!
60才夫婦で参加しました。日本人は私達のみで小さいお子さんからご年配の方までたくさんの参加者で、スケジュール通り盛りだくさんの内容でとっても楽しい最高のツアーでした。
乗船してすぐ船内に朝食があり、クルージング、モロキニ島周辺シュノーケリング、クルージング、ランチ、キヘイ周辺シュノーケリング、お魚も亀も見れた、5時間とは思えない満喫した1日ツアーのようでした。
また、他の方の体験談にもたくさんありますが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんとカナさんの心優しい細やかなアテンドに感動しました。日本人の私達へのお気遣いはもちろん、その他の参加者への気配りも素晴らしく、気持ちの良いとっても楽しいツアーでした。
本当に楽しい体験をどうもありがとうございました!
The meeting place for parking is at a nearby paid parking lot, with smartphone payment available. I recommend bringing a large bath towel and something to wear over your swimsuit. Since the rash guard
集合場所車停めは近くの有料駐車場スマホ支払いで13時半にして、大判バスタオルと羽織る物を持ち、ラッシュガード水着は体が冷えてしまったため、船内でウェットスーツレンタル(10ドル)が絶対にお勧めです。
Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.
This was my second time on a tour swimming with dolphins. The middle school program also has a university option, but this time I chose the middle school. The university boat is equipped with toilets, showers, and various activities, while the middle school uses a speedboat and focuses solely on snorkeling.
The middle school program has a smaller group, which made everything run smoothly and created a homey atmosphere that I really enjoyed. I was moved to see dolphins jumping from the boat. I was also thrilled when dolphins came close to us underwater. During snorkeling time, I was amazed to see so many sea turtles.
I would prefer to go with the middle school program again.
イルカと泳ぐツアーは今回で2回目でした。
イルカ中学には大学もあり、今回は中学にしました。大学の船にはトイレやシャワーとアクティビティが充実、中学はスピードボートでシュノーケル中はシュノーケルのみ。
中学は少人数なのでサクサク進みアットホームな感じで楽しかったです。
船上でもイルカが跳ねたのが見えて感動しました。水中でも近くまでイルカが来てくれて嬉しかったです。シュノーケルタイムも海亀がいっぱいいて感動しました。
私はまた中学がいいです。
If you splash around, the chances of them coming closer are higher. On the boat, there is wind, and wet bodies can get cold easily, so women should take precautions against the cold.
バシャバシャバタ足しなければ、近くに来てくれる確率高いです。
船の上は、風があり濡れた身体は冷えやすいので女性は防寒対策してください。
Aloha! Yoshimi. Thank you for re-enrolling at Dolphin Middle School. I appreciate your comments on the differences between Dolphin Middle School and university. It was lucky that dolphins came close to you underwater and that you encountered many sea turtles! Meeting marine life in the great nature of Hawaii is truly an inspiring experience! Thank you also for your comments on precautions when viewing dolphins and tips for dealing with the cold. Please join our tours again to discover more of Hawaii that you haven't seen yet! I look forward to the day we meet again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
アロハ! ヨシミ様。イルカ中学に再入学していただき、ありがとうございました。イルカ中学と大学の違いをコメントしていただき、感謝いたします。水中でイルカが間近に来てくれたり、沢山の海亀に出会えたとはラッキーでしたね!! ハワイの大自然の中での海洋生物たちとの出会いは感動体験になりますよね! また、イルカを見る際の注意点や寒さ対策に関するコメントもありがとうございます。是非また、まだ知らないハワイを発見しに、弊社のツアーへご参加くださいね!またお会いする日を楽しみにしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
I signed up because I wanted to show my grandchild dolphins and turtles, and I was able to see plenty of dolphins, plus I got to see five turtles all at once. I am very satisfied.
孫にイルカとカメを見せたくて申し込んだのですが、イルカをお腹いっぱい見ることができ、さらに亀も5枚も一度に見ることができました。
大満足です。
When you come up from the sea, the wind is cold, so it's better to take measures against the cold.
海から上がると風が冷たいので、寒さ対策をした方が良いです。
Thank you very much for using the Dolphin Charter with Sea Hawaii. We are truly delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the tour. Please come back to visit the dolphins and turtles again. Mahalo!
この度はシーハワイのドルフィンチャーターをご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
ご家族でツアーをお楽しみいただけたとのこと、スタッフ一同、心から嬉しく思います。
是非、またイルカさんやカメさんに会いに、遊びに来てください。
マハロ!
We caught one whale which was lucky being the end of the season!
We were pre-jittered, but for no reason as this was the calmest experience I could of imagined!
Quick and on time. Good way to see some of the sea life with young kids.
Aloha
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the trip! We know there are a lot of activity providers to choose from when you're on the Big Island and we're honored you chose to join us on board.
Mahalo and A Hui Hou
Best Crew we could have asked for. They made the experience Epic and Fun!!! Thank you for such a great night.
I was scheduled to participate in Dolphin Middle School, but it was suddenly canceled due to high waves. I transferred to Turtle University. From the boat, I could see Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu very well. I also got to meet a lot of turtles!
イルカ中学参加予定でしたが、波が高く急遽中止に。カメ大学に編入しました。ボートからはダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの街がよく見えました。カメさんにも沢山会えました!
If you are prone to seasickness, it's better to have some motion sickness medication!
船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めがあったほうがいいです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for accepting the sudden transfer to Waikiki Turtle University due to the cancellation of Dolphin Middle School. I also appreciate the sharing of the wonderful photos. The view of Diamond Head and the streets of Honolulu from the ocean is truly beautiful! I'm glad to hear that you were able to encounter many sea turtles in such a special place. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the motion sickness medication. Please do join our tours again when you visit Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! DDloverさま。イルカ中学のキャンセルにより、急なワイキキカメ大学への編入を受け入れてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。素敵な写真の共有にも感謝です。海の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの街並みはとても綺麗ですよね!! そんな特別な場所で沢山のウミガメに出会うことができた、とお聞きし嬉しく思います。また、酔い止めに関するコメントにも感謝いたします。ぜひ、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはまた弊社のツアーに入学してくださいね。またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
The girls were wonderful. They were kind and helpful. We not only swam with amazing dolphins but snorkeled in a wonderful coral reef with sea turtles. I would highly recommend this tout
I was able to see manta rays up close, even more than I had expected. It was colder than I thought, and I got seasick, so I felt a bit unwell, but it all became a good memory.
思っていた以上にマンタを近くで見ることができました。思っていたより寒く、船酔いをしたので体調的にはしんどかったですがそれも含めて良い思い出になりました。
It was the last day of whale season, but many whales came out, and I was moved to see so many whales off the coast of Waikiki, something I had never known before.
クジラシーズンの最終日でしたが。たくさんクジラが出てきてくれて、ワイキキ沖でこんなにクジラが見れるのをいままで全く知らず感動です。
We saw a whale tail. We also saw sea turtles. The boat ride was a great experience. The captain and crew were amazing. I would recommend this to everyone‼️
This was our first time snorkeling and the crew was so helpful! So many beautiful fish and turtles! We will definitely do this again next year!
Don’t forget your reef safe sunscreen!
We boarded the ship as a family, including our first and third graders. The large ship was very stable and comfortable, with hardly any rocking. I brought motion sickness medication just in case, but it wasn't needed. Perhaps it depends on the weather.
There were also services like coloring activities on board, which were helpful. We were able to see many whales, and we were very satisfied.
小学1年生・3年生の子供達含め、家族で乗船しました。大きな船でほとんど揺れることなく、快適でした。念のため酔い止めを持参しましたが大丈夫でした。天候次第でしょうか。
船内では塗り絵などのサービスもあり助かりました。
クジラもたくさん見ることができて大満足です。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the children's services on board. It's great that you were able to see so many whales. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船の中でのお子様サービスをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。クジラもたくさん見ることができて良かったですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
The weather was nice, so I could see the fish and the sunken ship clearly. It might be tough if it's cloudy. I recommend this for those who want to see a lot of fish but don't want to snorkel. Also, on the way to the submarine transfer, you can see Diamond Head and the beach from the sea side, which makes for great photos.
天気が良かったので、魚や沈没船が良く見えました。曇りだと厳しいかも。とは思いました。沢山の魚を見たいがシュノーケルをしたくない方にお勧めです。また、乗り替える潜水艦にいく途中の船でダイアモンドヘッドやビーチが海側から見れるので、良い写真が撮れます。
The location might be a bit hard to find. The meeting point is at the end of the beach pier.
場所が少しわかりづらいかも。集合場所はビーチの桟橋の先です。
You can touch dolphins by following the guide's instructions. It's recommended for small children and animal lovers since you can see their adorable movements up close. The activity is great, but it's also a breathtaking spot with a 180-degree view of the ocean, which is truly impressive. However, there isn't much else to see at Sea Life Park, so I give it 4 stars.
ガイドの指示に従い、イルカに触れることができます。愛くるしい色々な動きを間近で見ることができるので、小さなお子様や動物好きにはオススメです。アクティビティも良いですが、180度見渡せる海の絶景スポットでもあるので、それを観るのも感動ものです。シーライフパーク自体は、他に、あまり観るものがないので、星4です。
Since I was told that glasses are not allowed, I think it would be good to go with contacts or prescription goggles.
メガネがダメだと言われるので、コンタクトで行くか、度入りのゴーグルなどで行くと良いかと思います。
I thought this was a tour that you can only experience during this season! At first, I was really worried about whether we would actually see anything, but I was glad to be able to witness the whales' spouts and the moment they dive for the first time.
この時期だからこそいけるツアーだと思いました!
最初は本当に見えるのか不安でしたが初めて鯨の潮や潜る瞬間を見ることができよかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. We also appreciate your very positive review. It was great that the weather was nice and you could enjoy a wonderful morning cruise in Hawaii. Please come back again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。お天気も良くて素敵なハワイの朝のクルーズを楽しめて良かったですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I felt reassured to have a staff member from Japan! (Staff member → Fuko)
The waves were high that day, and I was worried about seeing dolphins, but I was able to see three types of dolphins: the spinner dolphin, the false killer whale, and the bottlenose dolphin, as well as a sea turtle!
I’m not good at swimming, but thanks to Fuko, who helped pull me along, I had a great time. Thank you very much!
スタッフさんに日本の方がいて安心できました!(スタッフさん→ふうこさん)
この日は波が高くて、イルカがいるか不安でしたがマダライルカ、ゴンドウイルカ、バンドウイルカと3種類のイルカとウミガメを見ることができました!
泳ぐのが苦手な私でしたが、ふうこさんが引っ張って下さったおかげです。
とても楽しかったです、ありがとうございました!
I think it's a good idea to bring a waterproof jacket and drinking water since it's cold.
寒いので、濡れてもいい上着と飲み水は持って行った方がいいと思います。
Aloha! Shima-kun. Thank you for participating in the dolphin middle school program. It was very lucky that you were able to encounter three different types of dolphins!! The pilot whale, in particular, is a rare sight. Thank you for your comments about our staff member Fuko. We are glad to hear that you felt safe and enjoyed your time. Please join us again the next time you come to Hawaii. All of our crew sincerely looks forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! しまくん様。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。3種類のイルカに出会えたとはとてもラッキーでしたね!! 特にゴンドウイルカはなかなかお目にかかれない珍しいイルカです。スタッフのふうこに関するコメントもありがとうございます。安心して楽しまれたようで嬉しく思います。次回ハワイにいらっしゃるときは、またご参加くださいね。クルー一同、またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I was thinking it might be "difficult" if the timing didn't work out, but in a good way, I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of dolphins 🐬 and sea turtles 🐢. I was especially healed by being able to see the dolphins up close. Also, personally, I was a bit late due to my own trouble during the meeting time, but I appreciate the kind response I received. Thank you very much.
タイミングが合わなければ「難しいかな〜」と思っていましてが、ある意味良い方の期待はずれで「イルカ🐬にもウミガメ🐢にもたくさん会えました」特にイルカを間近で見れて癒されました。
あと、個人的には集合の時に自分のトラブルで少し遅れてしまいましたが気持ちよく対応していただき感謝です。ありがとうございました
I highly recommend it for those who have never experienced "dolphins" and "sea turtles."
「イルカ」「ウミガメ」未体験の方はぜひおすすめです。
Aloha! Thank you, Haru-kun, for participating in the Dolphin School this time. We also appreciate you sharing those incredibly scenic photos. Since the marine life is 100% wild, the situation changes daily. I believe it was fortunate that we were able to see many dolphins and sea turtles this time, and especially to see the dolphins up close! If you have the opportunity to come back to Hawaii, please do re-enroll in the Dolphin School! All of us on the crew are sincerely looking forward to seeing you again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
アロハ! ハル君さま。この度はイルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。また、とても幻想的な景色の写真も共有していただき感謝いたします。100%野生の海洋生物達なので状況は日々異なります。今回はイルカやウミガメにたくさん会えたことに加えて、間近でイルカを見られたことは幸運だったと思います!! またハワイにいらっしゃる機会には、ぜひ、イルカの学校へ再入学しに来てくださいね!またお会いできますよう、クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
