I was worried since I went with a small child and a senior, but I received incredibly supportive assistance. The child was initially scared during the first entry into the water and couldn’t see the dolphins, but we were able to spot dolphins early on, allowing for multiple entries into the water. We got to see a rare type of dolphin called the false killer whale, which came very close, exciting the guide as well, and the kids were thrilled! We also saw many sea turtles at another spot, took photos underwater, and enjoyed sitting on the edge of the speedboat like on a banana boat. By the end, they were having so much fun that they didn’t want to leave. The sea was beautiful as well. I don’t speak any English, but thanks to our Japanese guide, Ryuichi, I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. The guides, Brooke, Jason, and Brian, all contributed to making wonderful memories. I was also worried about getting cold, but I was able to borrow a wetsuit, so I enjoyed myself without shivering from the cold. Prescription goggles were also available for rent. I’m really glad I chose Dolphin Academy among the various tours available.
小さな子供とシニアと一緒に行ったので、心配していましたが、申し訳ないほど手厚くサポートしてもらえました。子供は最初の入水でビビって水中でイルカを見ることが出来ませんでしたが、早くにイルカを発見できたことで何度も入水出来たので、ガイドさんが興奮するくらい、間近まで近づいてきたレアなコビレゴンドウクジラという種類の大きなイルカを見ることが出来、子供達も大興奮！！別のスポットでウミガメもたくさん見たり、水中から写真を撮ってもらったり、高速ボートの端に座ってバナナボートのように楽しんでみたりと最後にはまだ帰りたくないというほど楽しんでいました。海もとても綺麗でした。英語が全く出来ませんが、日本人ガイドのリューイチさんのおかげで安心してツアーに参加することができました。
ガイドのブルックさん、ジェイソンさん、ブライアンさんみんなで盛り上げてくれて最高の思い出を作ることができました。
体の冷えも心配していましたが、ウェットスーツを借りることができたので、寒さに震えることなく楽しめました。度付きのゴーグルも貸してもらえます。色々あるツアーの中でイルカ中学さんを選んで本当に良かったです。
If you are prone to motion sickness, it's better to use motion sickness medication. It gets cold after you board the ship.
酔いやすい方は酔い止めを使った方がいいです。

It was very hot, but I had a great time. It seemed that there were few staff members who could provide guidance in Japanese at Sea Life Park, but there was one male staff member who was fluent in Japanese. He explained things to us beforehand and stayed nearby to assist during the experience, which was reassuring. The program with the dolphins was a valuable experience that you can't have in Japan.
When I got off the shuttle bus on the way there, I was anxious because there was no information about the return pick-up time; we were just dropped off. While I was at the Sea Life Park reception, the staff there informed me that the bus would depart at 2 PM.
とても暑かったですが，楽しかったです。
シーライフパークには日本語で案内できる方は少ないようでしたが，日本語が堪能な男性スタッフが一人いらっしゃって，事前に説明してくださり，体験している間も近くにいて補助してくださったので，心強かったです。
イルカとのプログラムは日本ではできない貴重な体験でした。
行きの送迎バスを降りたとき，帰りのお迎えの時間もこれからどうするかの何の案内もなく，ただおろされただけだったので，不安でした。わからないまま，シーライフパークの受付を行っていたら，受付の方から14時にバスが出発すると告げられました。
During the experience, I didn't wear a hat. I recommend taking proper sun protection measures. There is no roof over the area where you watch the dolphin show. I was using an umbrella until it started

Really cool experience for the family. Adult kids of 23,21,18 really enjoyed it as well. Very friendly staff, manta rays got within inches of your face and even brushed up against you on occasion. Definitely an excursion that doesn’t take up a whole day or afternoon and you can squeeze in if your looking for something to do after dark
No need to bring a lot. Your not on the boat long so towels and such can stay at the car even
I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.
Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.
Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.
朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。
Just to be safe, it might be a good idea to bring candy and a snorkeling set. I didn't understand what was being said in the English explanation, but it simply means not to extend your arms and legs,
念のため飴とシュノーケルセットを持参すればよいかと。
英語の説明で何を言ってるかわからなかったのですが、単に手足を出すなと言うことと、足の置き場があるので、シュノーケルをセットしたら潜って見るだけです
Thank you for participating in the shark tour! We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour, especially encountering sharks and meeting dolphins on the way back. We believe that the details and advice from your experience will be helpful for other customers as well. Thank you for coming from afar, mahalo!

I was able to see dolphins perfectly. First, we boarded a small boat to search for dolphins. The boat, powered by two engines, moved at an incredible speed. It felt like riding a banana boat, and it was fun even while we were moving.
After about 15-20 minutes of searching, we spotted dolphins. During the first time we entered the water, we only caught a glimpse of two dolphins diving. We set out again to search for dolphins, and during the second attempt, we were able to see dozens of dolphins in the ocean. After that, we moved to another spot and were also able to see several sea turtles perfectly.
Ken, the Japanese staff member, was very kind, and I felt reassured to participate even with my concerns about speaking English. Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit. If you're worried about motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is essential. It's said that the waters in Hawaii are calmest in the morning, so even though the meeting time is early, I recommend the first tour.
The boat from Dolphin University had a toilet and was well-equipped, but if seeing dolphins and swimming with them is your top priority, it seems that Dolphin Junior is recommended because their boat can maneuver more easily. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling, making it a very satisfying tour.
イルカはバッチリ見れました。
まずは小型のボートに乗り込み、イルカを探しに行きます。船はエンジンを2台のパワーで動くのですごいスピードが出ます。バナナボートに乗っているような感覚で移動中も楽しかったです。
15-20分ほど探したところで、イルカを発見。1回目海に入ったところでは2頭のイルカが潜っていく所を少し見れた程度でした。改めてイルカを探しに船を走らせ、2回目では数十頭のイルカを海の中から見ることができました。その後別のスポットまで移動して、海亀も数匹バッチリ見ることが出来ました。
日本人スタッフのケンさんもとても親切で英語に不安があっても安心して参加できました。
船が小型なので結構揺れます。乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めの服用は必須かと思います。ハワイの海は朝が1番穏やかとのことで、集合は朝早いですが1番最初のツアーがおすすめです。
イルカ大学の船にはトイレが付いていたり設備が充実していましたが、イルカを見る、イルカと泳ぐことが優先順位1位であればイルカ中学の方が船が小回りきくこともありおすすめだそうです。
シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあり、大満足なツアーでした。
Don't forget to take your motion sickness medication.
酔い止めの服用を忘れずに。

The staff were great at getting everyone excited and taught us with care. There was also a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease participating! Dolphins swam in from all directions, and we could see them up close 🐬. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot for some free snorkeling time. There, we were able to see sea turtles, which was a very precious experience for me(^^).
スタッフの方が盛り上げ上手で丁寧に教えてくれました。日本人のガイドさんもいて、安心して参加することができました！イルカは四方八方からたくさん泳いできて間近で見られました🐬

The boat moves quickly, so it gets cold when you come out of the water. You can rent a wetsuit for $10 locally, which gives you peace of mind!
船のスピードが速いので海から上がると移動が寒いです。現地でウェットスーツが10ドルでレンタルできるので、レンタルすると安心です！

A few years ago, I participated and had such a great time that this time I joined with my son and his girlfriend, making it a family of four. Last time it was in April, so the sea was cold and I felt chilly, but this time we were well-prepared for the cold (in July). Once again, many manta rays turned right in front of us, and I almost shouted with excitement. We’re not supposed to touch them, but the other three were so close that they ended up being touched by the manta rays. You can even see inside the manta's mouth. There’s also an explanation about manta ray ecology, which makes you feel like you understand the manta rays in front of you even better. Time really flew by, and it was a tour where I didn’t want to get out of the water. This is definitely something you should participate in.
数年前に参加して、とても楽しかったので、今度は初めて訪れる息子と彼女を伴って家族4人で参加しました。前回は4月だったため海が冷たく体が冷えたのですが、今回は防寒対策もバッチリした上で参加（7月）。今回もたくさんのマンタが目の前でターンしてくれて、声をあげそうになりました。タッチしてはいけないのですが、あまりに近すぎて、私以外の三人はマンタに触られたそうです。マンタの口の中まで見えます。マンタの生態についても説明があるので、目の前のマンタをより理解した気分になります。本当にあっという間に時間がたってしまい、海から上がりたくないと思うツアーです。これは、絶対に参加した方がいいです。

Good appetizers, drinks and fun crew. Recommended.
I participated with my spouse and our 10-year-old son. The staff were cheerful and kind, and the Japanese staff member, Tamae, provided thorough explanations in advance. The descriptions from Trevor, Diego, and Scott on the way to the point were enjoyable, and we arrived at the point in no time.
Once we reached the point and entered the water, we immediately encountered manta rays. In fact, we saw three large manta rays! Watching the manta rays gracefully swim through the darkness was mystical and incredibly moving.
Although we are not allowed to touch them (as the bacteria from humans can cause illness in manta rays), they came so close that we could almost touch them. Being able to see manta rays up close was truly a rare experience.
After getting back on the boat and during our return to the port, we enjoyed hot cocoa and snacks, and the cocoa was delicious and warmed up our chilled bodies.
As we were leaving, a Japanese staff member gave me a sticker, saying, "I had fun today too." I also had a great time, and I really appreciated how much they cared about my wife, who got seasick. It became a wonderful memory. I heard that there's a 20% discount for the next visit, so I definitely want to come back!
夫婦と10歳の息子と参加しました。スタッフの方は明るく親切で、日本人スタッフのタマエさんも事前に丁寧に説明してくれます。

暗闇の中を優雅に泳ぐマンタは神秘的でとても感動しました。
マンタには触ってはいけないのですが(人間の持っているバクテリアがマンタの体に付くと病気になってしまう可能性があるため)、触れそうなくらい近くまで来てくれて、こんなに近くでマンタを見れたのは本当に貴重な経験でした。
ボートに上がってから港に帰るまでの間にホットココアとスナックをいただき、ココアは冷えた体を温めてくれてとても美味しかったです。
帰り際に、日本人スタッフの方から「私も今日は楽しかったから」とステッカーを頂きました。こちらこそとても楽しかったですし、船酔いした妻のこともとても気にかけていただいたので、本当によい思い出になりました。次は20%オフとのことなので、ぜひまた来たいです。

We’ve been with family. Children 12 and 10 years old. All of us were so excited and totally happy with this experience!
This was by far the most memorable thing our family did on the Big Island, it’s got to be one of the most amazing things we’ve ever done together. Stop reading this review and go book your trip now. You won’t regret it.
Iruka Junior High is truly amazing. We went out to sea on a boat to search for dolphins. The boat was more thrilling and faster than a banana boat, making it the best attraction!
Being on the boat allowed us to get really close to the dolphins, and it was an emotional experience swimming alongside so many of them.
With snorkeling, I was able to swim with rays and sea turtles!

If you overinflate the life jacket, it will make snorkeling difficult, so it's better not to inflate it too much.

Captain and crew of Ocean Encounters 1 dove in ahead of guests, made a plan, and navigated us there. Honestly, we had a great viewing spot and several other boats' guests were eager to move into our spot upon our exiting. Boats are staggered and have a neighborly way of communicating where/when/how each group will be staggered but I would have been disappointed to be in one of the peripheral groups. These are wild animals, so no telling what each evening will look like, but was glad to have a captain who led the charge.
Tips: It is a bit of a rough ride for 20 mins out and approx 20 minutes back. If you are someone who suffers from carsickness or seasickness, highly recommend treating for that before you leave. We had 2 of 30 guests puking over the sides. I gave my carsick kiddo dramamine about an hour before-- no issues.
Do have inexperienced family members practice snorkeling ahead of tour so that they can spend the entire 45 minutes head down in the water enjoying the fish and rays and the learning is done in a pool or bay ahead of time. There were zero swimming skills necessary on this trip but knowing how to calmly enjoy breathing through a snorkel for an extended period was the difference between guests who really enjoyed and guests who didn't. There was a surfboard with handles that the group held on to, which was pulled into position by the guides.
Do warn your kiddos that these rays are HUGE. My youngest expected small 3-4 foot rays like we have in our aquarium and was initially very surprised (terrified) by the 12-15 wingspan on some of these beautiful creatures. They got right up in our personal bubble/faces/immediately underneath bellies and legs so do be ready for up-close amazing experience.
Do not bring a bunch of stuff/items as they end up dripped on and/or in the way. If the weather is warm all you need is shoes that are okay getting wet/dripped on, and a towel. They provided water and light packaged snacks on the return trip.
Take more pictures and consider taking and sharing photos with fellow tour guests.
So glad we did this. Experienced and knowledgeable crew. Had a great time!
Watching these huge sized manta rays glide beneath us was surreal! Best experience hands down.
Recently, I participated in a snorkeling tour called "Dolphin Middle School" in Hawaii, where I got to meet dolphins and sea turtles, a dream I've had for a long time! We departed from Waikiki by shuttle bus before 6 AM. I was still a bit sleepy, but just looking at the blue sky lifted my spirits!
🛥️ Setting sail and searching for dolphins
We boarded a boat at Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu, where the crew provided explanations in English. Yuji, a member of the crew, personally guided me, which made me feel at ease. The ocean was unbelievably blue and clear! After a while, the crew shouted:
“Dolphins!!”
Several dolphins jumped alongside the boat! Everyone couldn't help but cheer. It was so moving to see wild dolphins so close…
🐬 Swimming with dolphins!
We arrived at the snorkeling point and finally entered the water. It was a bit cold at first, but felt great!
Looking down, I saw a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully, and it truly felt like we were sharing the same ocean.
The crew guided us expertly, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable. We dove three times to swim with the dolphins. At first, we observed from a distance, but during the second dive, I was able to observe and swim closely with many dolphins, which was incredibly satisfying.
🐢 Next, the sea turtle point
After the dolphins, we moved to the sea turtle spot. The visibility here was also excellent! While swimming among the corals, a large sea turtle suddenly appeared right in front of me.
Its leisurely swimming was truly graceful. We had to maintain a distance to avoid getting too close, but swimming alongside it was part of the rules. The moment our eyes met, it looked as if it was smiling, which was very touching.
It seems that returning participants receive a permanent discount, so I definitely want to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

So glad you had a fun time on our dolphin tour! We're thrilled you decided to spend some time on the ocean with us when you were in Maui! Mahalo!
It was great that even children who can't snorkel could see a lot of fish! Riding in a real submarine was also a refreshing and fun experience, almost like an attraction. Also, the pilot was so cool that I couldn't help but sneak a glance! At one point, it got a bit boring, and my child fell asleep, but it was a good experience overall.

Our family had such a wonderful day, the kids were so engaged with the viewing window.
I recommend this for small children, elderly people, and anyone who wants to peek into the waters of Hawaii without getting wet.
We gathered on-site. Even if you arrive on time, there were no staff members present, which can be a bit unsettling, but it seems this is the usual situation (laughs). In our small group of 13, we could clearly hear the staff's explanations. At other times, it seemed to be fully booked with about 50 people.
We were able to see clearly down to the seabed and even encountered sea turtles. I think people of all ages can enjoy this. I downloaded the Japanese commentary in advance, but I wasn't sure when to start listening with the earphones.

海底までゆっくりクリアに見ることができ、海亀にも遭遇できました。
年齢問わず楽しめると思います。

I thought it would be easier to wear pants instead of a long skirt since you have to transfer from the boat to the submarine and use the stairs. There are no Japanese staff, but I think you can still

a unique and fun experience for myself wife and daughter to enjoy something so new!
Such a cool way to explore beneath the ocean without getting wet as I am not much of a swimmer that loves sea life, lol!
Friendly staff. 100 yards away was too far to swim. All other boats were closer.
The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.
