Hawaii
I participated in the afternoon session, so it was helpful to have breakfast at the hotel in the morning. There was a Japanese instructor on the boat, which made me feel at ease! The ceremony where we sang a prayer song in Hawaiian and threw plumeria flowers into the sea together was very nice.
At the morning session, which started a bit earlier, we easily encountered a pod of dolphins at a spot where they were seen! They were so cute! The English-speaking instructor was friendly and easy to talk to, which was great.
During the snorkeling afterward, I also got to see a honu (sea turtle)! I was lucky since there are times when you might not see them! I felt a bit cold, so I went back to the boat first to change. The instructor noticed and gave me warm cocoa, which helped me not get too cold! The sandwich we were given was also delicious.
I've been to Dolphin Junior High before, but Dolphin University was fun too! Thank you very much!
午後の部に参加したので、朝はホテルでご飯を食べられて助かりました。
船には日本人インストラクターさんがいるので安心です！ハワイ語で祈りの歌を歌ってプルメリアをみんなで海に投げる儀式がとてもよかったです。
もう少し早い時間の午前の部でイルカが見れたポイントで、難なくイルカの群れに会えました！可愛かったです♪英語を話すインストラクターさんも気軽に話しかけてくれて感じがよかったです。
その後のシュノーケルでホヌ(ウミガメ)にも会えました！会えない時もあるそうなのでラッキーでした！私は少し寒かったので先に船に上がって、着替えたりしました。インストラクターさんが気に掛けてくれて温かいココアをくれたので、あんまり寒くならず助かりました♪いただいたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
イルカ中学も行ったことがあるのですが、イルカ大学も楽しかったです！ありがとうございました♪
I took some motion sickness medication on the bus heading to the harbor. After coming out of the sea, it gets cold, so it's better to have a change of clothes and a sarong towel to change into.
ハーバーに向かうバスの中で、一応酔い止めを飲んで行きました。
海から上がった後寒くなるので、着替えとスカートバスタオルみたいなので着替えられるようにしたいほうがいいです。
Aloha! Sally. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I also appreciate the five-star rating and the wonderful photos of the dolphins swimming at the bow. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed not only the encounters with dolphins and sea turtles set against the magnificent nature of the west side of Oahu, but also the interactions with the instructors! Hot cocoa is a nice treat for a chilled body, isn't it? Thank you for your comments about lunch and the motion sickness medication as well. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! sallyさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星評価ならびに船首を泳ぐイルカの素敵な写真の共有にも感謝いたします。オアフ島西部の壮大な自然を舞台にしたイルカやウミガメとの出会いだけでなく、インストラクター達との交流も楽しんで頂いたようで嬉しく思います!! 冷えた身体にホットココアは嬉しいですよね。ランチや酔い止めに関するコメントもありがとうこございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou！

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.
When you get to the Makena Landing parking lot just got a little further around to the next cove
It was fun. It's an activity that you can't easily experience in Japan. The wonderful scenery is truly enjoyable. However, I was expecting a bit more challenging off-road terrain, but the course was surprisingly mild. It's quite relaxed. At one point, the buggy I was riding in broke down, and I had to share with someone from the same group, but they quickly provided another buggy, so it was fine. The guidance along the way was in fast-paced English, as mentioned in the reviews, and I could hardly understand it, but at the photo spots, the guide actively took pictures and videos for us.
楽しかったです。なかなか日本では体験できないアクティビティです。素晴らしい景色は本当に楽しめます。ただもう少しハードなオフロードを期待していましたが、意外とおとなしいコースでした。ゆっくりしていますよ。途中で乗っていたバギーが動かなくなり、同じグループの人に同乗することになりましたが、違うバギーをすぐに用意され事なきを得ました。途中での案内は、口コミにあるように早口の英語で、ほとんどわかりませんが、フォトスポットではガイドが写真や動画を積極的に撮ってくれます。
When you get on the ride, they provide a bandana to use as a mask, but I brought one from Japan, and that was the right choice. You get covered in dust all over.
乗車するときに、バンダナをマスク用としてくれますが、日本から持っていきましたが、正解でした。全身ホコリまみれになります。

Doug was an absolutely amazing guide! I ended up being the only person who could make it to the tour due to traffic for the others, and Doug made sure to make me feel both comfortable and prepared for the experience. It was my first time doing anything other than some light snorkeling and he did a wonderful job briefing me and making sure I was all set and knew what to do and expect. He was also very friendly and welcoming and by the end we knew a fair amount about each other which almost made it feel like diving with a knowledgeable buddy.
Once we got in the water I was blown away by the amount and variety of fish instantly visible, and the whole tour seemed to have something new and interesting to see every time I turned around. Doug did a great job of pointing things out and getting tons of amazing pictures. Being the only one to make it to the tour that day worked in my favor as we were able to stay out longer and Doug took the opportunity to show me as much as he could.
This was an absolutely amazing experience, and the highlight of an already great trip! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're an experienced diver or a complete novice like me!
The mountains of Mauna Kea, the sea of clouds, and the sunset sinking into the clouds were spectacular. At the summit, there is a spot known as the Hawaiian sacred site, where I felt a mystical atmosphere. The guide spoke Japanese and provided clear explanations, allowing me to feel at ease and trust them completely.
マウナケアの山々や雲海、雲海に沈む夕陽は壮観でした。山頂にはハワイアン達の聖域と呼ばれるスポットがあり、なにか神秘的か雰囲気を感じました。
ガイドさんは日本語も喋れる方で、説明もわかりやすく安心してお任せできました。
The summit is colder than I expected! The guide recommended a stargazing app, but I couldn't download it at the summit due to poor connectivity, so I recommend doing it in advance.
思っている以上に山頂は寒いです！
ガイドさんから星座観測アプリをおすすめいただきましたが、山頂では通信環境が悪くダウンロードできなかったため、あらかじめやっておくことをおすすめします。

The scenery was amazing! Also, the buggy ride was fun. It got a bit dirty, but it was totally fine! The driving time was a little long. The kids were asleep. Haha!
景色が最高でした！
また、バギーも楽しかったです。多少汚れましたが、全然大丈夫でした！
運転時間が少し長かったです。子供は寝てました。笑

From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .
The operation of the buggy was easy, and I felt no anxiety, so I enjoyed riding for a long time. The scenery was also amazing. It would have been better if there had been a shuttle service. The ride there cost quite a bit with Uber. On the way back, the staff kindly took me close to the bus stop, so I was able to return for just $3 by bus.
バギーの、操作は簡単でしたし不安もなく、長時間乗れたので楽しかったです。
景色も最高でした。
送迎がなかったので付いていたらもっと良かった。
行きはUberでかなりかかりました汗
帰りは、スタッフの方がバス停近くまで送って下さったのでバスで3ドルで帰れました。
Since there is no shuttle service, considering the starting time and arranging for bus transportation can significantly reduce costs.
送迎がないので、始まる時間帯を考えて、バス移動ができるようにすればコストがかなり抑えられます。

The weather was nice, and above all, the instructors were all great. They took many wonderful photos, and I was so happy about that. I would like to request this again.

As night fell, the starry sky became increasingly visible, and I was deeply moved. I think I would have been even more touched with a bit more explanation in Japanese.

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.
The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!
Bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen
Aloha Rudy79g
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for joining our tour! 🌺
We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the music, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and beautiful views of the bay — and that our crew helped make your experience special.
We understand your disappointment about not being able to fully see the sandbar. Its appearance can vary depending on tides and weather, but we truly appreciate you sharing your feedback.
We’re glad you still had a great time overall, and we’d love to welcome you back again for another day on the water — hopefully with the sandbar in full view next time!
Mahalo! 🌴

Dan was outstanding. We had a great experience with him. He took great care of us all.

The hospitality with free drinks before entering the venue, the solo guitar before it started, and the entire experience from beginning to end was very moving and created the best memories! I want to see it again!

Participating with my child, we were the only non-Chinese and non-Korean people there. The 150 meters was so high that I couldn't look down; it was scary, but the view was amazing! It felt great. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. I didn't feel sick at all because I took it, but I felt a little dizzy from swaying in the air. I didn't feel sick on the boat. It's definitely worth the experience!

私達以外は中国人韓国人でした
150メートルは下を見れないくらい

Everything about the day and evening was terrific ☺️
I used this for my honeymoon trip.
The mountaintop was very cold, but thanks to the guide's thoughtfulness (delicious BLT sandwiches and the provision of ski wear), it became a wonderful memory.
During the stargazing, they provide explanations in Japanese as well, so don't hesitate to join just because it's an English tour; you'll miss out if you don't!
ハネムーン旅行で利用しました。
山頂はとても寒かったですが、ガイドさんの心遣い（美味しいBLTサンド、スキーウエア上下の用意）のおかげでとても良い思い出になりました。
星空観察では、日本語も交えて説明していただけるので、英語ツアーだからと遠慮せず、利用しないと損です！
It's essential to prepare your own warm clothing to wear under ski wear (such as thick socks and hats).
スキーウエアの中に着るような防寒着は必ず、自分で用意した方が良い。（厚手の靴下や帽子等）

Even though it's a mountain over 4000 meters high, you can drive to the summit, making it an easier tour than I had imagined. The sunset and starry sky at the top are definitely something you should see when you visit the Big Island. I also think it's great that, being at the summit, the clouds are below you, so there's no need to worry about the weather for stargazing. If you really want to see the stars, it's better to join a tour that takes you to the summit.
4000mを超える山なのに、頂上まで車で行けるので、想像していたよりも楽なツアーでした。
頂上で見る夕日と星空は、ハワイ島に来たら絶対に見るべきだと思います。
星空観測は、頂上なので雲が下にあり、天候の心配をする必要がないのも良いと思います。
必ず星空を観たいなら、頂上まで来るツアーに参加した方が良いです。
I think it's just right to bring a light down jacket and wear jeans, and then borrow gear at the summit.
服装はライトダウンを持って行き、ジーンズで参加した状態で、さらに頂上でウェアを借りると丁度良いと思います。

It was my first time in Maui in 25 years, and I’m really glad I had this experience. From the moment we boarded, I felt an exciting thrill as if I was already on an attraction. The weather was great, and the beauty of it all made me forget about everyday life! The clarity of the ocean, the encounters with sea turtles, and the meals on the boat make me want to come back again!
For those who are unsure about Japanese, there is an incredibly powerful Japanese person named Takako. She embodies the energy of Hawaii. She approached me very casually, and she has such a fun personality.
I will definitely come back. MAHALO!!
25年ぶりのマウイでしたが、本当にこの体験をして良かったです。

Super fun for all ages! Our guide, Noah, was great and entertaining the whole trip.
The red dirt will stain so dress accordingly
It started to rain after we got on the boat, and even though it cleared up, the view wasn't very beautiful. I felt like the time went by shorter than I expected. The staff were kind, which was nice.
船に乗ってから雨が降ってきてしまって晴れたけどあまり綺麗に見えなかった。。

Among the various tours available, I wasn't confident about waking up early, so I decided to join the dolphin watching tour at a later time. Neither my husband nor I speak English, but thanks to Ken, our Japanese guide, who provided solid support and care, we were able to participate without any anxiety. Although there are times when you might not see dolphins, we were fortunate to see many dolphins, sea turtles, and enjoy snorkeling on the day of the tour. They took a lot of photos for us, so we were glad we made the purchase! We definitely want to participate again.
色々なツアーがある中で早朝に起きる自信がなかったので遅い時間に参加できるイルカウォッチに決めました。夫婦2人とも英語が話せませんが、日本人のガイドのケンさんがしっかりサポートして気遣いして頂いたおかげで不安なく参加できました。イルカが見れないこともあるなか、当日沢山のイルカウォッチとウミガメとシュノーケリングできました。写真も沢山撮って下さったので私達は購入して良かったです！ぜひまた参加したいです。
It's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication, a towel, and a cover-up. If you appeal to the photographer, they will take a lot of pictures for you.

It was great that the guide tried hard to communicate in Japanese. However, overall it was difficult to understand, and the special feeling of the tour was lacking. I thought it might have been better to rent a 4WD and go on our own.

ただ全体的にはわかりずらく、ツアーの特別感も薄く、四駆を借りて自分たちで行っても良かったなと思いました。

I made a reservation because I wanted to experience it at least once in my life. I was worried about getting into an accident or getting injured, but everything ended without any issues. I had an incredible experience that I can't compare to anything else. There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease.
I am prone to motion sickness, and the moment the parachute opened, I started to feel unwell. Motion sickness medication is a must.

We were the only Japanese participants. It truly felt like an overseas trip. The guide is also focused on environmental protection, practicing the balance between nature conservation and tourism on the Big Island.
Additionally, they pay attention to the safety of tour participants, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were plenty of fish swimming around, and the water clarity was high, making it a fun tour.
Lunch and breakfast were simple but delicious. I would love to participate again when I come back to the Big Island.

They offer rentals for jackets, ski pants, and gloves, but I think it would be more comfortable if you have Heattech top and bottom, as well as a scarf and hat.
