It was fun! But be careful of seasickness! Haha 楽しかった！けど船酔い注意！笑

Reviewed by: SAKI

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...

Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.

Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!

I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!

親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人？」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う？」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。

あとは船酔い！
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね！
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです！
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。

最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び！

どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.

When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.

イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。

雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。

I was able to see whales and dolphins! ⭐︎ クジラとイルカ見れました⭐︎

Reviewed by: RIN RIN

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for a week with my family (my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me). We also participated in a dolphin tour for the first time.

The meeting time was early at 5:30 AM in front of our hotel, but it was manageable if we went to bed early the night before.

I was worried about the weather since it had been changing from rain to sunshine up until the day before, but fortunately, it cleared up, and we were able to set sail.

I tend to get motion sickness and took medication, but I ended up getting sick five times. A few others on the tour also experienced this. I regretted not taking the medication earlier, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.

At the beginning, as we set sail, we all participated in a traditional Hawaiian prayer in Hawaiian, asking for safety on our journey and to encounter dolphins, while throwing plumeria flowers into the sea. At that moment, the sun broke through the cloudy sky, and it felt like we had received permission, creating a magical atmosphere!

A wetsuit is a must! I recommend purchasing one as an option.

When we spotted dolphins, I was feeling unwell and stayed on the boat, but my husband and daughter put on their snorkels and entered the water. Since it was her first time using goggles, our daughter panicked at one point, but a female guide who spoke Japanese and had a license supported her. Although they couldn't swim close to the dolphins on their first try, I could see them from the boat despite feeling sick. My husband said it was his first experience in waters 1,000 meters deep, and although it was scary, he had a lot of fun!

After that, we encountered various marine creatures! We saw a whale spouting water, dolphins, and a baby hammerhead shark...

The tour guide informed us about the creatures we encountered:

- False killer whale
- Spotted dolphin
- Hammerhead shark
- Green sea turtle
- Humpback whale (spouting in the distance)

Afterward, we had a great time snorkeling and playing on the slide in an area with calmer waves.

I would love to participate again for a rematch. Thank you very much!

Even though I felt sick, I was truly able to encounter many marine creatures in the magnificent nature of Oahu, and the staff provided a lot of support. Having a Japanese-speaking guide was really helpful. I am grateful for that.

今回　初めてのハワイで家族（私、主人、娘10歳）1週間滞在。イルカツアーも初めて参加しました。

朝　宿泊ホテル前に集合時間5時半と早いのですが、前日早く寝てれば大丈夫です。

前日まで雨降ったり晴れたりコロコロと天気が変わって心配しましたが、無事晴れて出航できました。

私は乗り物酔いしやすく薬を飲みましたが、リバース5回もしました。他の方も何人かいました。早めに飲み薬を飲めば良かったかな？と後悔しましたが、仕方ない事だと思います。

最初、出航し皆んなで海と自然、旅の安全、イルカに出会えるようにお願いする気持ちで、ハワイの伝統的なお祈りの儀式をハワイ語で言い
プルメリアの花を海に投げました。
そしたら、曇ってた空から太陽が当たって許可された様な気分になり幻想的な空間でした！！

ウエットスーツは必須です！！オプションで購入した方がおすすめです。

イルカを発見し
私は気持ち悪く船の中にいましたが、
主人と娘は、シュノーケルをつけて海に入りました。娘はゴーグルが初めてだった為途中　パニックになってましたが、日本語ガイドしてくれた女性がライセンスを持っていて娘をサポートしてくれました。1回目はイルカの近くで泳げませんでしたが、
私は気持ち悪いけど、船の上からは、イルカが見えました。主人は水深1,000メートルの沖合なんて初めての経験で怖かったけど本当に楽しかった！！と言っておりました。

その後、色々な海洋生物に出会えました！！クジラが潮を吹いてたりイルカ、子供のハンマーヘッドシャーク…

ツアーの方から教えていただいた
出会った生き物：

コビレゴンドウ

マダライルカ

ハンマーヘッドシャーク

アオウミガメ

ザトウクジラ（遠くに潮吹き）

そのあと波の少ない場所でシュノーケルとスライダーでたくさん遊べました。

またリベンジで参加したいと思っております。
ありがとうございました！！

気持ち悪くても本当にオアフ島の雄大な自然の中で沢山の海洋生物と遭遇することが出来、スタッフの方々も色々とサポートしてくれました。日本語ガイドの方もいて本当に助かりました。感謝しております。

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.

The private cruise for our family of ten was comfortable. First, we spotted a sea turtle in the bay! After that, when we went out to sea, a pod of dolphins came right around the boat, and we were able to see them up close. Then we headed out to search for whales and were able to see them as well, which was amazing.

While moving to the snorkeling spot, we enjoyed some snacks, making for a pleasant cruising experience. I thought it would have been good to bring a change of clothes since there was a restroom at the dock where we could change.

家族10人での貸し切りクルーズで快適でした。まずは入り江でウミガメを発見！その後海に出ると、イルカの群れが船の周りにまで来てくれて、たっぷり見ることができました。その後クジラを探しに沖まででて、クジラも見ることができ最高でした。

We participated with two friends and two 3-year-olds, making a total of six people.

It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.

Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.

When we participated, it seemed there were no Japanese speakers, but we were treated kindly, which made us feel at ease.

友人夫婦と3歳児2人、合わせて6人で参加しました。

陽気な音楽ともに楽しいクルージングでした。

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Reef Snorkel Tour with Ocean Activities - Iruka Hawaii

Getting in the water with wild dolphins!

Reviewed by: L.S. Yamanaka

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

My morning with Iruka Hawaii's dolphin swim and snorkel was nothing short of absolutely perfect. From start to finish, every moment on the water was just fantastically fun!

The boat was a pleasantly spacious and comfortable, and the crew was incredibly helpful and impressively knowledgeable about dolphins. Their expertise added a whole new layer of appreciation to the experience~

Snorkeling twice was a highlight, and I spotted a bunch of fish and turtles, but the real showstopper was seeing bottlenose dolphins gliding beneath us. It was definitely something I will never forget :)

We also got great views of Hawaiian spinner dolphins from the boat, and I can't describe just how adorable it is when you see them jumping and spinning out of the water. Definitely glad I had my phone camera ready!

Lunch was simple yet delicious, hitting the spot perfectly, and the availability of snacks was a great way to stay fueled for the adventure.

And a massive shoutout for the provided transportation from Waikiki to Waianae since it is almost an hour drive, and I wouldn't have been able to get out there any other way.

Can't wait to go again!!!

Overall, I’m glad I participated. 総合的には参加してよかった

Reviewed by: 梅昆布茶

I was very grateful for the detailed explanations and precautions provided by the Japanese guide for activities that could be life-threatening if one missteps, such as being in the ocean. However, I was strictly lectured about the cultural differences between Hawaii (America) and Japan, mainly regarding the tipping culture and the quality of service.

I am already aware of these differences and do not expect the same level of service as in Japan while abroad. I understand that some participants may not grasp these concepts, but the way it was conveyed felt quite condescending, almost as if the guide was ashamed of Japanese people. I understand the sentiment, but it was uncomfortable. It would have been better to casually say something like, "Please leave your tips here at the end. Feel free to ask if you have any questions," rather than raising one's voice and dragging out the explanation.

Additionally, during the dolphin watching from the boat, when the dolphins were only visible in the distance, the guide said to the Japanese guests (not us), "You've seen them, right? Hurry back to your seats!" which left a bad taste in my mouth. We participated to see the dolphins, after all. Perhaps it was due to concerns about seasickness? Again, I thought the delivery could have been better.

On a positive note, the explanations about the ecology of sea turtles and dolphins, as well as the advice for dolphin swimming, were very helpful and appreciated. Thanks to that, I was able to jump in without hesitation and saw both dolphins and honu.

Regarding the activity plan, I was looking forward to snorkeling, SUP, and water slides besides dolphin swimming, but the time was very short, and we couldn't do SUP, which was disappointing, though I understand it was due to the schedule. It felt like a bonus. If given another opportunity, I plan to participate in these marine activities with dedicated time.

While I have shared many critiques, I want to emphasize that we did not experience seasickness thanks to effective medication, and we were able to encounter dolphins and honu, which was very moving, so I am glad we participated. The staff, aside from the aforementioned issues, were all very friendly, cheerful, and enjoyable to be around. The photographer was also very nice and provided detailed answers about dolphin ecology. We were able to purchase many photos for just $65, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you.

Regarding tips, Japanese participants often wonder how much to give, so I’ll share my thoughts for reference. The Japanese guide mentioned that the usual tip is around 20%, with a minimum of about 10%. When we participated in other activities where we received excellent service, we each gave 25%. For those who provided exceptional service, we also give individual tips separately. For this activity, we tipped about 15% each. We also left about 10% collectively for the shuttle bus.

日本人ガイドは海という一歩間違えると命を落としかねないアクティビティでは細かな説明や注意事項を聞くのにとてもありがたかったです。が・・・
ハワイ(アメリカ)と日本の文化の違いについて厳しく説明されました。
主にチップ文化やサービスのクオリティの違いについてです。

そんなこと承知の上ですし海外にきて日本と同等のサービスなど求めておりません。
参加者の中にそれらを理解されていない方もおられるのかと存じますが、言い方がどうも･･･そんな日本人を恥と思っているような物言いで正直不快でした。気持ちは分かりますが･･･
無知な方がおられるのか知りませんが声を荒げてダラダラと説明する内容ではないですね。サラッとスマートに「チップは終わりにここにちょうだいねー。分からなければ気軽に聞いて」など一言添える程度で良いのでは？

あと、船上からのイルカウォッチングの際、遠くに小さく見える程度で皆さん一生懸命みていてやっと少し近づくと１分もたたないで「もう見たからいいでしょ！早く席に戻って！」と言っていた（私達ではない日本人客に対して）のにも気分が悪くなりました。
私たちはイルカを見るために参加しているのです。
船酔いを心配してでしょうか？やはりここでも言い方が悪いなと思ってしまいました。

しかし、ウミガメやイルカの生態についての説明や、ドルフィンスイムの際に見るためのアドバイス等はとてもためになり良かったです。
お陰様で躊躇なく飛び込むことができましたし、イルカもホヌも見れました。

アクティビティのプランについて
ドルフィンスイム以外のシュノーケルやSUPやウォータースライダーなども楽しみにしていましたが時間がとても短くてSUPまでは出来ずで残念でしたがタイムスケジュール的に仕方ないかなと。オマケみたいなものですね。
また機会があればこれらのマリンアクテビティは別でしっかり時間をとったものに参加しようと思います。

・・とここまで長々と余り良い感想はないですが。
私達は酔い止めも薬もしっかり効き船酔いすることもなく、イルカやホヌにも出会えとても感動しましたので参加して良かったと思っています。
スタッフの方も上記のこと以外はすごくフレンドリーで明るく楽しい方ばかりで良かったです。
カメラマンの方もとても良い方でイルカの生態についても質問すると詳しく教えていただけました。写真もたくさん枚数があるのに65ドルで購入できとても良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございます。


チップについでですが、日本人参加者の方々はどのくらい渡そうかと悩みますので参考までに書いておきます。
その日本人ガイドさんも普通20%位で 〜10%程度とおっしゃっており、私達も他のアクティビティに参加した際、とても良くしていただいたのでその時は25%を夫婦各々で渡しました。また特別お世話になったなと感じた人にはそれとは別で個別に渡すようにしています。今回こちらのアクティビティでは夫婦各自15%程度を。送り迎えのバスには夫婦でまとめて10%程度入れて帰りました。

The staff are dedicated to ensuring everyone has a great time, so you can enjoy the experience safely and happily. With Japanese staff members Miki and Yuya present, there's no need to worry; they make sure you have fun. I was able to meet several types of dolphins and sea turtles, and it was enjoyable once again.

The waves were higher than during my last experience in the summer, and it was windy and cold when we went out to sea, with the water temperature also being low. I wore a rash guard to prevent sunburn, but the wet rash guard got cold in the wind, and I was shivering the whole time. Since you can move around freely during the experience, you might get sunburned, but the scenery is wonderful, and I recommend staying on the second floor to combat seasickness and the cold.

The marine activities were fantastic, especially the slide from the boat! Professional photographer Yuya created bubble rings for us. I’m looking forward to the photos.

I’m grateful for the wonderful staff and scenery.

They took me to a place with a lot of dolphins, and I was able to swim near them about three times. The sea was really beautiful, and I think it will be a wonderful memory. However, I got extremely seasick and ended up throwing up about twice as many times as I encountered dolphins. Since we went out to sea, during the tour, I could only be on the boat or in the water, and in the second half, I was just thinking about getting back quickly. The chances of seeing dolphins are very high, so I think it's best to participate with a preparedness for seasickness and some countermeasures.

たくさんイルカがいる所に連れて行ってくれて
わたしも3回くらいイルカのそばを泳ぐ事ができました。海も本当に綺麗でとても素敵な思い出になるツアーだと思います。が、私はめちゃくちゃ船酔いし、イルカに遭遇できた倍くらいの回数吐きまくりました。冲に出るのでツアーの時間内は船か海にいるしかなく、後半は早く帰る事だけ考えてました。

The pickup car arrived about 15 minutes after the meeting time. (I was a bit worried, but) I think it's best to relax and wait, thinking it's HAWAII TIME. Despite the early morning, the driver was in high spirits, which lifted my mood!

If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. Our family all took it, so we didn't experience any seasickness at all, but about 4 to 5 people were unable to move due to it.

When we spotted dolphins, we jumped in one by one. Those who jumped in earlier had a higher chance of seeing them, but those who didn't see them were prioritized to jump in next, so everyone was able to see the dolphins.

We were very satisfied to see both dolphins and sea turtles!

All the staff were very kind, and I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

It gets cold when you come back onto the boat from the sea, so a jacket and a bath towel are essential.

Thank you to all the staff.

Falling into the water, we swam tirelessly in the direction we were told.
Since we entered without any mental preparation, a few people panicked because they weren't used to it.
We saw a mother and baby dolphin swimming either deeper down or near the surface, but they weren't very close.
It felt like seeing dolphins underwater.
And it was cold. I was advised against renting a wetsuit because it can cause seasickness and costs $10, but I should have borrowed one.
I was shivering on the boat the whole time because it was too cold.
My husband seemed to feel nauseous as well, but when we moved to the snorkeling spot, he was told that it would be better to dive in, so he was made to jump in.
However, it was said that the sea was less rocky than on the boat, but it was still cold, which ultimately made him feel worse.
We could also see dolphins from the boat, so we still had quite a bit of fun.
We could take photos as well, but it was mostly the same person taking them. Everyone was getting pictures with bubble rings, but we didn’t have that.
The turkey wrap for lunch wasn’t tasty either...
If I go again, I think I’ll choose a different tour company that isn’t Dolphin University.

9月半ばの参加。
船に乗ってイルカを探して、見つかると海にダイブ。
海に落ちて、言われた方にひたすら泳ぎます。
心の準備もなく入るので慣れてないとパニックになる人が数人いました。
イルカは下の方または水面近くあたりを泳ぐ親子を見たりしましたが、さほど近くはないです。
海の中でイルカを見る感じ。
そして寒い。ウエットスーツは酔いやすいし10ドルかかるからと薦められませんでしたが、借りるべきでした。
寒すぎて船の上でずっと震えてました。
夫は酔いもあったようですが、シュノーケリングスポットに移動したとき、海に入ったほうがマシになると言われてダイブさせられてました。
しかし船の上より海のが揺れなくてまだマシだからとのことでしたが寒いので結局余計に体調不良に。
船からイルカを見ることもできたのでそれでも結構楽しめはしました。
あとは写真も撮ってもらえますが、同じ人ばかりでしたね。みんなバブルリングで撮ってもらってましたが私達は無かったです。
お昼のターキーラップも美味しくないし...
次また行くならイルカ大学ではないツアー会社にしようと思ってます。

There are Japanese staff members who are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind. In addition to swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in the coral reef was relaxing with many turtles and tropical fish.

I previously participated and was very moved, so I wanted to show it to my husband and joined again. This time, I could hear the sounds of dolphins communicating, and I was reminded of how amazing nature is. My husband also seemed to have a great time and said it was the best part of our trip to Hawaii. Next, I plan to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

私は以前参加させていただき、とても感動したので夫にも見せてあげたいと思い、再度参加しました。
今回はイルカがコミュニケーションをとっている声も聞こえて、自然てすごいな、と改めて思いました。
夫も、とても楽しかったようで、ハワイ旅行で一番良かったこと、と申しております。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学しようと思っています。
また、お会いできるのが楽しみです。

A lifetime of memories 一生の思い出

Reviewed by: まっつぁん

I was worried about seasickness since we would be on the boat for nearly three hours, but after taking motion sickness medication, I had no problems. There were some people who were vomiting, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

As soon as we set sail, we encountered dolphins and were able to see them jumping and spinning up close. The sights during snorkeling were breathtakingly beautiful. I will never forget it. There were also plenty of activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and a slide attached to the boat, which my 6-year-old son enjoyed thoroughly.

3時間近く乗船するとのことで、とにかく船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めを服用したところ問題ありませんでした。嘔吐している方もいましたので、酔い止めをおすすめします。


出向してすぐにイルカに遭遇し、ジャンプしたりスピンしたりしているイルカを間近で見ることができました。、
その後のシュノーケリングで見た光景は、息を飲む美しさでした。一生忘れられません。サップやカヌー、船に取り付けた滑り台などのアクティビティも豊富で、息子は6歳でしたが充分楽しむことができました。

Reviewed by: うさぎのしっぽ

It was great that children as young as 2 years old could board. Our three generations, including a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, had a wonderful time! When we were chasing dolphins, the 2-year-old stayed on the boat and was delighted to see the dolphins from the second floor, saying they were cute. The 5-year-old tried twice but ended up crying because the mask didn't fit. The 7-year-old was in great shape! They enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, and the slide more than any of the adults, diving in multiple times. Thank you to Maki and the other crew members for being so kind and attentive.

２歳から乗船可能性で助かりました。５歳、７歳の子どもも含め３世代で楽しむことができました！イルカを追う時は２歳の子は船で待機、２階からイルカの姿を見て可愛い♡と喜んでいました。５歳の子は２回挑戦しましたがマスクが合わず泣いてしまいました。７歳は絶好調！イルカも海亀もスライダーも、大人たちの誰よりも楽しんで何度もダイブしていました。まきさん始め他のクルーの方々も親切丁寧で、ありがとうございました。

Family fun

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

The long-awaited dolphins! 念願のイルカ！

Reviewed by: Yuri

I was so moved when I saw dolphins on an online tour that I thought I definitely wanted to participate when I went to Hawaii!

In the morning, it was raining and the weather was gloomy, but as the sun rose, it cleared up, and when we arrived at the port, there was a rainbow! We boarded the boat and headed to where the dolphins were, but it seemed like a child sitting nearby got seasick. Since it was a small boat and it rocked quite a bit, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The wetsuits were available for rent on the day, but according to the guide, "Your body temperature rises and you become more prone to seasickness." I think most people, including us, did not rent them.

Once the dolphins were spotted, it was a flurry of activity! We quickly went outside the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was struggling to keep up (laughs). It felt more like watching the dolphins swim by from above rather than swimming with them.

After that, we encountered another pod of dolphins!

After the dolphin swim, we went snorkeling in a spot with lots of tropical fish. I couldn't see it, but my friend said they saw a manta ray! I find it hard to take nice underwater photos myself, but a professional photographer took beautiful pictures and videos, and I still look at them and remember the experience even after returning home. It's paid, but I think it's worth purchasing!

以前、オンラインツアーでイルカを見て感動したので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に参加したい！と思っていました。
朝は雨が降っていてどんよりした天気でしたが、日が昇るにつれ晴れてきて、港に着いたときには虹が！
船に乗ってイルカがいる地点まで向かいますが、近くの席のお子さんが船酔いをしてしまったようで…。小さな船で結構揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
ウェットスーツは当日レンタルでしたが、ガイドさん曰く「体温が上がって酔いやすい」とのこと。私たち含め、大多数の方はレンタルしていなかったと思います。
イルカが見つかってからは大忙し！次々船の外に出て、イルカがいる場所まで泳ぎます。私は泳ぎが得意でないので、着いていくのに必死でした（笑）
イルカと一緒に泳ぐというよりは、イルカが通り過ぎるのを上から眺める感じかな。
その後もう一度イルカの群れに出会えました！

ドルフィンスイムの後は熱帯魚がたくさんいる場所でシュノーケリングをしました。
私は見れませんでしたが、友人はマンタを見れたそうです！
自分だとなかなか水中の写真は綺麗に撮れませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが綺麗な写真と動画を撮ってくださって、帰国しても眺めては思い出しています。有料ですが、購入して損はないと思います！

Very kind! My third-grade daughter had her first snorkeling experience. とても親切！小3娘もシュノーケル初体験

Reviewed by: ショウ

I am so grateful to our guide, Mr. M! My third-grade daughter was extremely scared when she first jumped in, and I almost gave up thinking snorkeling in deep water would be impossible for her. However, the guide encouraged her and skillfully guided her, and by the end, she was able to do it perfectly!

We couldn't catch up to the dolphins, so only Dad got to see them, but we were able to see three turtles, which was a long-awaited dream for this trip. My daughter was so excited!

By the way, the next day we moved to another hotel, and she was saying she wanted to go snorkeling there too and was really looking forward to it. As parents, we couldn't have assisted her first snorkeling experience without Mr. M's help. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.

とにかくガイドのMさんに感謝です！
小3娘は最初飛び込んだ時、めちゃくちゃ怖がっていたので、やっぱり足の届かないところでのシュノーケリングは無理かなぁ、と諦めかけましたが、その後にガイドさんが声かけて上手に誘ってくれ、最後はバッチリできるようになりました！
イルカは追いつけなくてパパだけしか見られませんでしたが、今回の旅で念願だったタートルはバッチリと3匹も見られました。娘、大興奮でした！

ちなみに、翌日には移動して別のホテルに入ったのですが、そこでもシュノーケリングする！と言って楽しんでました。親だけではとても娘の初シュノーケリングをアシストできませんでしたが、Mさんのおかげで出来ました。いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

I was honestly skeptical about encountering wild dolphins since it's all about luck, but I dove twice and encountered dolphin pods both times! Fortunately, I was able to see a sea turtle, which left me thrilled! The tour was packed with snorkeling and activities. Above all, the Japanese guide and the professional photographer were very considerate of all the participants and always interacted with us in a friendly manner. It was a tour that made me truly feel like I want to come back again!

野生のイルカは運だから、と正直半信半疑でしたが2回潜って2回ともイルカの群れに遭遇！幸運にもウミガメを見ることができ感激しっぱなしでした！
シュノーケルやアクティビティーもあり内容の濃いツアーでした。またなんと言っても日本人ガイドさんとプロカメラマンさんが私たち参加者全員を気遣ってくださり常にフレンドリーに接してくれました。また帰って来ますね‼︎と心から思えたツアーでした‼︎

Reviewed by: himawari夫婦

We finally made it to Hawaii for our honeymoon! ⭐︎ We booked this trip based on my husband's desire to swim with dolphins. We headed out on a boat and spotted dolphins! They were so cute swimming on the surface ^_^ On the day of our activity, the water was a kilometer deep and the waves were high, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the support from the staff, we were able to get into the water. Although we couldn't swim with the dolphins, we now have a goal to come back to Hawaii for a second try! They even set up a slide and diving board from the boat. My husband had the most fun of anyone! It seems the activity was incredibly enjoyable ^_^ We got to swim in the middle of the vast ocean in Hawaii, creating unforgettable memories! Our Japanese guide, Minako, was truly wonderful! She was bright, fun, and made all our fears about the ocean disappear! Thank you so much! ♪

It was really, really fun! Thank you for the wonderful memories! We'll definitely come back!

I was able to see wild dolphins and whales. 野生のイルカウォッチングと鯨もみえました

Reviewed by: H&A

The private boat charter was a great help for families with small children. Since there were many little kids, it was really nice for us parents not to have to worry about other customers being around. Not only did we go wild dolphin watching, but we were also lucky enough to see whales. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, and we were able to see them up close, which was incredibly cute. I definitely want to participate again, but when I tried to make the next reservation, it seemed that my next visit to Hawaii was fully booked, so I couldn't reserve. I'm really disappointed... I wish I had planned earlier.

貸切ボートチャーターは小さい子連れには助かりました。小さい子供が多かったので、他のお客様がいないことは親としては気を遣わなくてとってもよかったです。野生のイルカウォッチングだけでなく、運が良くクジラを見る事ができました。イルカが船に合わせて泳いでくれたのか、近くでみることができてとってもかわいかったです。ぜひまた参加したいと思い、次の予約をしようと思いましたら次のハワイ訪問日はいっぱいのようで、
予約できなくて残念です。。。もっと早く計画しておけばよかったです。
