Hawaii
I participated in this activity with the desire to "swim with dolphins." In reality, it's more accurate to say that it's about interacting with them rather than swimming together. However, I had never seen dolphins up close like this before, so it was a lot of fun. I am very satisfied. On hot days, a sun hat and sunscreen are essential.
「イルカと泳ぎたい」という要望の元、このアクティビティに参加しました。内容の実際は、一緒に泳ぐというよりもふれあうという言い方のほうがいいですね。でも、こんなに近くでイルカを見たことがなかったので、とても楽しかったです。大満足です。
暑い日は日よけの帽子や日焼け止めは必須です。

This is the next comment from Akkaemama~~~!!! I had an amazing time too~~~~~!! Thank you, class representative Ryuichi!! I've participated in other dolphin tours, but this was the most luxurious experience I could have asked for!! At first, I thought the boat might be scary, but it was not scary at all, and compared to larger boats, we could see the dolphins up close when they came near!! We were blessed with beautiful weather that day, the water temperature was warm, and the water was clear!! I didn't rent a wetsuit, but compared to other tours, the equipment was solid and the price was reasonable!! Other tours felt more expensive~. The content was excellent!! The food was a light snack, but there are so many delicious things in Hawaii, and there were plenty of other things I wanted to eat, so this tour was perfect for us!! I will definitely participate again!!! Class representative, I look forward to working with you again!!!
あっかえままさんの次のコメントだ~~~！！！私も最高に楽しかったですよ~~~~~！！学級委員長の龍一さん！！お世話になりました！！他のイルカツアーにも参加をしてますが、一番贅沢な時間を過ごさせてもらう事ができました！！ボートは初め怖いかな？？っておもっいましたが･･全然こわくないし、大きなボートに比べてイルカが近くに来た時まじかにみれます！！この日は晴天にもめぐまれ、水温もあったかくて水もクリアでした！！ウエットは借りなかったけど他のツアーに比べるとしっかりしたもので、お値段もリーズナブル！！他ツアーは高かった気がするぅ~。
内容は最高！！ご飯は軽食ですが、ハワイにはたくさんおいしい物があって、他で食べたい物が山ほどあったので私達には最適なツアーでした！！間違いなくまた参加します！！！学級委員長またよろしくおねがいしまーーす！

it was funfilled. the value for money is not upto the mark.
This is the second time for my wife and I. This year we brought our 14 year old son with us. We were lucky enough to see a mother whale and her calf along with plenty of dolphins, turtles, and colorful fish. The staff was very friendly and took very good care of us. I would highly recommend this activity to any party looking for fun and adventure. We will rebook this activity on our next trip to Maui.
Beautiful calm day, lot of fun and the staff was great. I've dived with sharks before in open ocean so this was a little tame in cage. But nice to see Galapagos sharks. Everyone had a good time as one doesn't have to be a diver.
The sight of a large manta ray, about 3 meters in size, gracefully swimming at my feet was an indescribable experience. If you're interested in this opportunity, you should definitely go for it. I only encountered one manta, but it felt quite friendly and adorable, swimming around my feet multiple times, which was amazing. However, during the first 20 minutes in the water, it didn't appear, and I got quite cold. By the time I returned to the boat, I was shivering, and the car ride back had the heater on full blast. A thick jacket is necessary.
I also wanted to note a few things:
1) The voucher stated, "Please arrive by 5:30 PM, 10 minutes early." When I arrived just after 5 PM, the staff told me it was too early. There were people arriving at 6:30 PM as well. The start time might change due to sunset or other factors. So, I went shopping at the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center (about a 3-minute drive). It's quite a large shopping center with plenty of food court options and specialty stores, which was great.
2) Regarding photos, even with underwater lighting, a camera without a flash won't capture anything. I recommend using one with a flash.
3) Since I can't swim at all, I emailed to confirm if life jackets were available, and I received a reply saying they were. However, there were no life jackets provided. Instead, I participated with a float that was about 1 meter long. This was quite scary. It took courage to enter the night sea with this unfamiliar equipment. Watching others, I hesitantly entered the water. Once I did it, I managed, but it was a pretty frightening experience. Nevertheless, the thrill of meeting the manta ray was immeasurable. If you have the courage, I highly recommend it 200%.
3メートル前後の大きなマンタが足元を雄大に泳ぐ様は何とも言い難い感動でした。このOPに興味が有るならやるべきでしょう。１匹しか逢えませんでしたが、マンタも人に懐いている感じで可愛かったです。何回も足元を回り最高でした。しかし海に入って最初の20分は現れなかった為、体がかなり冷えてしまい、船に戻った時には体がガクガク震えてしまい帰りの車中は暖房ガンガンでした。厚手の上着は必要です。
その他気づいた事が有ったので書いておきます。
１）バウチャーに「集合時間は17時半、その10分前には来てください」と有ったので、17時過ぎに行ったら、スタッフに「早いと」言われました。18時半に来ている人も居ました。日没等の関係でスタート時間が変わるのかも？仕方ないで、近くのケアウホウショッピングセンター（車で3分位）に行ってのショッピング。此処はかなり大きなショッピングセンターで、フードコートや専門店も沢山有ってgoodでした。
２）写真ですが、下からライトアップしていてもフラッシュ無しの水中カメラでは全く写りません。フラッシュ付きをお勧めします。
３）泳ぎが全く出来ない為、ライフジャケットが有るかメールで確認したら「有ります」との返信が来たので申し込んだのにライフジャケットは有りませんでした。代わりに長さ1メートルぐらいの棒状の浮き輪みたいので参加しました。これは結構怖いです。泳げない人が夜の海に初めての道具で入るのは勇気が要りました。周りの人を見ながら最後に、怖る怖るの入水でした。やってしまえば何とかなりますが、かなり怖かった体験でした。しかしながら、マンタに会えた感動は計り知れません。勇気が有るなら200％お勧めです。

I participated with a family of friends (ages 6 to 65). Those who are prone to seasickness were advised to take medication in the shuttle car, but I forgot to take it and was completely fine.
At first, I was a bit anxious about the name "Private Dolphin Middle School," but it was the cheapest option, and they offered free rentals for fins and prescription goggles, so I decided to go with it. However, Yuriko, the owner, who is also the class representative and principal, really paid attention to each individual and made an effort to ensure everyone had a great time.
That's probably why this relatively new travel company, which just celebrated its first anniversary in May, is so popular.
The meals included snacks, cinnamon rolls, cheese, fruits, juice, and hot tea. Even though we worried about overeating on the boat (laughs), it was more than enough for us.
As for the main content, the course included sea turtles, fish, and dolphins. Although we didn't see any sea turtles at first, we were taken to a point where we could see them up close at the end.
To our surprise, a pod of over 20 dolphins appeared! My 6-year-old son can't swim, but he did his best to chase them with a life jacket and snorkel. Thankfully, Yuriko supported him, so I could chase after them without worry (laughs). Luckily, the dolphins turned around and swam right beneath my son, which was amazing! Thanks to that, we got some great photos together.
$130 is a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Once you experience it, feeding and touching them will feel insufficient!
I heard there's also something called Dolphin University.
友人ファミリーと一緒に（6歳~65歳）参加しました。
船に酔いやすい人は送迎の車で薬を飲むよう言われましたが、飲み忘れたけどまったく大丈夫でした。
初めは「私立イルカ中学」という名前に不安がありましたが、1番安かったし、フィン、度つきのゴーグルの貸し出しが無料だった・・・というだけで決めましたが、オーナーで学級委員長でもあり学長でもあるユリコさんが本当に一人一人に気を配り、楽しんで帰ってもらおうとしているのが伝わりました。
なのでまだ5月で1周年という新しい旅行会社にもかかわらず人気なのでしょう。
食事はスナック、シナモンロール、チーズ、フルーツ、ジュース、温かいお茶でした。
船の上で食べ過ぎても、色々心配なので（笑）私達には十分でした。
肝心な内容なのですが、ウミガメ→お魚竜宮城→イルカちゃんというコースで、最初にウミガメには会えなかったのですが、最後に又ウミガメのポイントへ連れて行っていただけ、間近に見ることが出来ました。
イルカも20頭以上の群れで現れびっくり！！
6歳の息子は泳げないけどライフジャケットと何とかシュノーケルで一生懸命追いかけますが・・・ユリコさんが息子をサポートしてくれたので私も安心して追いかけられました（笑）
ラッキーなことに、イルカ達がＵターンしてくれ息子の真下を泳いでくれ最高でした！！
お陰で親子で激写しまくり。
＄１３０は高いけど、その価値はあります。
1度体験してしまったら、餌をやる、タッチする・・なんて物足りなくなりますよ！！
イルカ大学というのもあるらしい。

We participated in the dolphin encounter as a family!
It was really great!
The bilingual female instructor was very helpful, and there were no inconveniences at all (o^∇^o).
We drove to Sea Life Park with our rental car, and it was a relaxing trip with no traffic, so we enjoyed the drive!
Since we participated with our one-year-old child, I was initially wondering, "Will this be okay?"
But our child seemed to have a lot of fun touching and kissing the dolphinsヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ.
I highly recommend it for families too (´∀｀).
ファミリーでドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました！
とっても良かったです！

I used the service recently.
There was no staff interaction at all.
It felt like they just picked us up and that was it.
However, we did see whales, so it became a nice memory.
Thank you very much.

お迎えに来て、乗せて終わりな感じでした。

Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. If the staff who greeted you were local staff, they may have had difficulty communicating with customers as they do not speak much Japanese. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.

The early morning pickup at 5 AM was tough, but I was super lucky to experience the full menu in the morning.
First, even though it's almost May, I encountered a mother and baby whale, and then I got to swim with tropical fish and turtles at the Dragon Palace. The sea turtles swam leisurely, allowing me to gaze at them while swimming alongside (laughs).
However, I was worried that I might not get to see the dolphins since I couldn't find them for a while. Just when I started to think it might be a bad day, I received information that they were near the power plant on the West Coast, so we headed there directly on a high-speed boat. It felt like a roller coaster on the sea, and we arrived on time. Finally, I spotted the dolphins.
After watching them jump and spin eight times from the boat, I quietly entered the water from behind them and was finally able to swim with them. In the morning, they swam slowly with one eye closed, so I got to experience several pods swimming right beneath me and beside me. It was thrilling and a bit healing at the same time. Yay! I guess this was thanks to the high-speed boat and the crew.
The staff were fun and kind, and I’m really glad I participated. (By the way, it's a good idea to use motion sickness medication and a wetsuit for peace of mind.) Next time, I want to come with my family, not just my wife!
朝５時の迎えはきつかったけど、午前中にフルメニューの体験が出来、超ラッキー。
まず初めは、間もなく５月というのに、鯨の親子に出会え、その後竜宮城で熱帯魚たちや亀とも泳げた。海亀はゆったりと泳いでくれるので横で泳ぎながら見つめ合えちゃった（笑)
ただ、なかなか肝心のイルカに出会えなくて、今日はだめな日なのかな？と不安に思ったところ、ウエストコーストの発電所の辺りにいるらしいとの情報が入り、高速ボートで直行。海の上のジェットコースターのようで楽しい上に、時間内に到着。そしてついにイルカ先生たちを発見。
船上からジャンプスピンを８回見た後、彼らの後ろからソーッと海に入り、ついに先生たちとと泳ぐことが出来ました。
朝のうちは、片目をつぶって寝ながらゆっくり泳ぐ彼らなので、いくつかの群れが自分の真下の海底や自分の真横で泳いでくれるのを体験。興奮と共にちょっと癒される感じを体験。やったね！これも高速ボートと航海士のお陰かな。
スタッフも楽しく、親切でホントに参加して良かった。
（なお、酔い止め薬とウェットスーツは利用したほうが安心。）
今度は、妻だけじゃなく、家族とも来たいな！

It's amazing to see manta rays up close like this. However, rather than swimming alongside them, you’re more in a state of floating in the water and watching the manta rays swim. So, for those who are sensitive to cold, it might be a bit tough. But they come close enough to almost touch you, and I think it's an experience you can't easily have elsewhere, so I would recommend it.
こんなに近くでマンタが見れるなんて驚きです。ただ一緒に泳ぐというより、海にぷかぷか浮かんで海中を泳ぐマンタを見るという状態なので、寒さが苦手な人はちょっと辛いかもしれません。でも、体にぶるかるくらいまで近くに寄ってきてくれますし、他ではなかなかできない体験かと思いますので、お勧めだと思います。

I'm glad I was able to participate! It was a tour that made me feel that way.
There were many participants that day, and we all enjoyed ourselves in a friendly atmosphere.
When I dove into the sea and saw the manta rays, I was a bit nervous, but I quickly started to enjoy the night sea scenery. I think this experience is quite rare! The manta rays were friendly, and it was a wonderful snorkeling cruise.
参加できてよかった！と思えるツアーでした。
この日は参加者も多くみんなでわきあいあいで楽しめました。
海にもぐってマンタをみたときは若干緊張しましたが、すぐに夜の海の景色を楽しむ事ができました。この経験はなかなかできるものじゃないと思います！マンタも人懐っこくて、すばらしいシュノーケリング・クルーズでした。

This was the number one dive experience I've ever had! The beautiful waters of Hawaii, and encountering such large mantas made for an amazing tour.
Especially the mantas swimming in the night sea were truly graceful and had a very magical feel! I believe this is a tour that you could never get tired of, no matter how many times you participate! I definitely want to join again when I come back to Hawaii.
いままで体験した中で、ナンバー１のダイブでした！ハワイの綺麗な海はもちろんのこと、あんなに大きいマンタに出会えるなんて最高のツアーです。

Diving from the boat, I was able to see a truly beautiful sea with coral and many fish. When a manta ray approached from such a stunning ocean, I was incredibly excited. It came very close, and I felt it was worth participating in this experience!
There's no doubt that I will have an experience to brag about when I get back!
船からダイブするとほんとにきれいな海で、サンゴやたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました。
そんな海からマンタが近づいてきたときはすごく興奮してしまいました。とても近くまで来てくれ参加したかいがあったなと思いました！

There were 12 Japanese participants and 4 staff members, and the class representative, Yuriko, warmly welcomed us, easing our nerves. By the time we set out to sea on the Zodiac, I had already made friends with the other participants. No one experienced seasickness.
We went into the water twice and were captivated by a huge pod of dolphins that couldn't fit in the camera frame. We also saw three sea turtles, one of which came up to the surface, but it was surrounded by about 15 Western tourists from another tour who, not knowing it was an "endangered species," excitedly touched it and it quickly dove back down... Their manners were terrible (crying).
Swimming with dolphins felt like a dream, and I was truly moved by the many mystical sights we encountered! It seems there are also dolphin school trips and training camps, which I'm curious about. That day was warm, and since we didn't see any whales, I'm planning to join again during a slightly colder season next time!
参加者は12人の日本人と、スタッフさん4人で、学級委員長のユリコさんが明るく迎えてくれて緊張が解けたので、ゾディアックで海に出る頃には他の参加者さんと仲良くなれました。船酔いしてる人もいなかったです。
2回海に入って、カメラの画面に収まりきらない数のイルカの大群が見れて夢中になって泳ぎました。海亀も3匹見れて、1匹は海面に出て来てくれましたが他のツアーの欧米人15人位に囲まれ「絶滅保護動物」と知らないのか騒ぎながら一斉に触りすぐ海底に潜ってしまいました…マナーが悪すぎです(泣)
イルカと泳げるなんて夢のようだったし、神秘的な光景が沢山見れて本当に感動します!!イルカ修学旅行やイルカ合宿もあるようでそれも気になってます。その日は暖かくクジラが見れなかったので次回はもう少し寒い時期に参加しようと計画中です！

This was the best activity of our trip, and we did everything we could in two weeks! I wish we could have done this every day on every island. This is so appropriate for even small children - and even us old ones!
My first overseas trip was to Hawaii.
What I was looking forward to the most was the class with the dolphins.
There were 10 Japanese participants, including my mother and me, 6 foreigners, and 4 staff members...
I guess that made for quite a large group?
I took a spot right at the front of the boat, and despite being blown by the strong wind, I had a really fun time.
After a short ride, we spotted a whale!
It was quite close, and I could hear the sound of it spouting water.
After seeing the whale, we went searching for the dolphin teachers...
There they were!
A bottlenose dolphin teacher.
However, it seemed that the bottlenose dolphin couldn't swim with us, so we just watched it, but it swam alongside the boat.
It was so close that I felt like I could almost touch it!
I was so excited and thrilled!
I wanted to keep playing tag with it... (laughs)
Though it was hard to say goodbye to the bottlenose dolphin, we moved on to search for the striped dolphin teacher.
Then we discovered a group of them!
I heard they were sleeping...
So, we quietly entered the water, trying not to splash, and put our faces in the water to watch the dolphin teachers.
Seeing so many dolphins swimming right below me was incredibly exciting and mysterious...
It's a shame I couldn't see them up close, but some participants might have had a good view?
I wanted to spend more time with the striped dolphins...
Reluctantly, we moved on to the next point to see the sea turtles.
Here, wearing life jackets was optional.
So, I decided not to wear one...
But it was cold, so I had borrowed a wetsuit from the start, which made it difficult to dive properly, but I was surprised to see a large sea turtle right next to me!
We swam together for a few seconds.
The sea turtle took a breath and dove deep, and I thought about following it, but I couldn't dive like the turtle... (sigh)
Next time I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again!
I learned a few tips, so next time, I'm eager to see many dolphin teachers.
The only downside was that it was cold...
Am I just too sensitive to the cold? (laughs)
I'm looking forward to participating during a warmer season next time.
Thank you very much, and I hope to do this again!☆
初めての海外旅行が、今回のハワイ。
そして何よりも楽しみにしていたのが、【イルカ中学】の授業でした。
参加者は、私と母を含め、日本人が10名、外国の方が6名、スタッフさんが4名・・・。
人数的には、多かったのかな？
私はボートの真ん前を陣取りスゴイ風にあおられながらも、とっても楽しい時間でした。
少し走ると、クジラさんが♪
結構近くにいたりして、潮を吹く音が聞こえました。
クジラさんを見た後は、イルカ先生探しに。。。
いました！
バンドウイルカ先生が。
でも、バンドウ先生は一緒に泳ぐことが出来ないらしく、ミテルだけでしたが、ボートと一緒に泳いでくれました。
とっても近くで、手で触れそうな至近距離！
ドキドキワクワクです♪
ずっと一緒に追いかけっこをしたいくらい。。。（笑）
名残惜しかったけど、バンドウ先生とバイバイして、今度はハシナガイルカ先生探しに。
そして群れでいる先生を発見♪
話によると、寝てるそうな・・・？
なので、そぉ~っと海に入って足をばたつかせないようにして海に顔をつけてイルカ先生ウォッチング。
沢山のイルカ先生が、自分の真下をスゥ~ッって泳いでいくのは、とっても興奮で、とっても不思議で・・・。
至近距離では見れなかったのが残念ですが、参加者した人の中では、良い感じに見れた人もいたかも？
ハシナガ先生とも、もっともっと居たかったけど。。。
後ろ髪を引かれつつも、次のウミガメさんのポイントへ移動。
ココではライフジャッケットの着用は自由。
なので、私はなしにして・・・。
でも、寒かったので、最初からウェットスーツを借りてきてたので、うまく潜ったり出来ませんでしたが、大きなウミガメさんが、すぐ真横にいてビックリ！
数秒でしたが一緒に泳いでました。
ウミガメさんは、息を吸って？深く下へもぐって行ってしまい、ついていこうと思ったけど、ウミガメさんのようには潜れず。。。（苦笑）
次回ハワイに来たらまた絶対に参加させてもらいたいです♪
チョットコツを覚えたので、今度は、沢山イルカ先生を見る気満々です。
残念なのは、寒かったこと・・・。
私が寒がりすぎなのか？（笑）
もう少し暖かい時期に参加するのを楽しみにしています。
また、是非よろしくお願い致します☆

It was a very good experience and we enjoyed it a lot.
I participated with my cousin and her 5-year-old child. The weather was clear on the day, but the wind was very strong. The boat was rocking a lot, and we couldn't even eat the snacks that were served along the way. However, we encountered many dolphins. During the first try, we could even hear the dolphins' calls. Unfortunately, during the second try, we were late and couldn't see anything because I was calming the child who didn't want to get in the water, while others seemed very satisfied with the large number of whales they saw compared to the first try. It seems that it's a bit much for a 5-year-old. But it's okay to leave the child on the boat because the staff takes care of them. I brought my camera to take pictures of the dolphins, but the staff took many photos and will send them to us via email later. So, it seems better to just focus on watching the dolphins. We couldn't go to the Dragon Palace, but we did encounter whales and mantas. I think I will participate again next time.
いとことその子供（５歳）と３人で参加しました。
当日は、晴天でしたが、風がとても強かったです。
船は大揺れで、途中出された軽食も食べるどころではありませんでした。
ですが、たくさんのイルカに遭遇。一回目のトライでは、イルカの鳴き声まで聞くことができました。二回目のトライでは、出遅れてしまい何も見ることが出来ず、残念。というのも、水中に入らない子供をなだめていたからで、他の人たちは、一回目よりも大量のクジラに大満足のようでした。
やはり、５歳の子供には、無理のようです。でも、船上に子供を残しても、スタッフの方が面倒をみてくださるので大丈夫です。自分でイルカの写真を撮ろうとカメラを持っていったのですが、スタッフの方がたくさんの写真を撮っていて、あとでメールに送信してくださいます。ですから、ただ、イルカを見ることだけに専念する方がよさそうです。
竜宮城に行くことはできませんでしたが、クジラやマンタにも遭遇できましたよ。
また、次回も参加しようと思います。
