I want to go again, and this time with dolphins... また行って、今度はイルカと…

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Unfortunately, the sea was rough on the day I participated, and I couldn't see any dolphins or whales, which lowered my overall rating a bit.

However, the staff were friendly, and although I didn't get to meet any dolphins, I enjoyed the other activities.

I hope to participate again someday and swim with the dolphins next time.

There was an option to purchase photo data taken by the staff, and I signed up for it, but after returning home, I thought it might have been better to just stick with the photos we took ourselves. The slideshow included photos from other participants for $75, so... (In the end, I found that creating my own slideshow with just our photos turned out better.)

私が参加した日は残念ながら海が荒れていて、
イルカもクジラも全く見れなかったので
ちょっと評価が低くなってしまいました。

スタッフの方たちのフレンドリーなところや、
イルカに会えなかったのですが、
他のアクティビティには楽しませてもらいました。

またいつか参加して、今度こそイルカと泳ぎたいです。

スタッフが撮った写真データの販売があって、
申し込みましたが、
自分たちで撮った写真だけで良かったかなぁと
帰国してから思いました。
他の参加者たちの写真も入ったスライドショーで
７５ドルなので。。。
（結局自分たちだけのスライドショーを
　後で自分で作った方が良い出来でした）

Absolutely amazing! It was luxurious! 超最高！豪華でした！

I participated in the Christmas season last month. Since it was winter, the sea was a bit rough, but it was such an amazing tour that I didn't mind at all. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they were really close! I was also surprised to see a whale for the first time! The staff were incredibly kind, which warmed my heart. The taro burger for lunch was delicious—I want to eat it again! The hula instructor was also very entertaining, making it a tour that any Hawaii lover would enjoy, allowing you to truly experience Hawaii. I've participated in other dolphin tours, but I think Dolphin and You is by far the best. Honestly, the quality of the staff and the content is unmatched compared to other dolphin tours. If you're looking for a satisfying tour, I absolutely recommend it!!!

先月クリスマスシーズンに参加しました。
冬ということで海はちょっと荒れ気味？だったけど、そんなこと気にならないくらい、超最高のツアーでした。イルカもたくさん見れたし、本当近かったです。クジラも初めて見てビックリしました！スタッフの皆さんもすごく親切で、心があったかくなりました♪ランチのタロイモのハンバーガー美味しかった~！また食べたいです。フラの先生もとっても面白くてハワイ好きにはたまらない、ハワイをしっかり体感できるツアーです。
他のイルカツアーも参加したことあるけど、やっぱりドルフィンアンドユーがダントツ一番と思います。正直、他のイルカのツアーと比べ物にならないくらい、スタッフも内容も質が高いです。
満足いくツアーを求めるなら絶対お勧めです！！！

Only on this tour, I was able to swim with dolphins! ここのツアーだけ、イルカと泳げました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I really wanted to swim with dolphins, so I considered various options, including theme parks, but I chose this one because it had so much to offer.

On the day of the tour, the sea was quite rough, and many people got seasick. I felt scared at first, but the photographer, Shera, smiled and said, "The captain is a veteran, so there's nothing to worry about!" This eased my tension, and I ended up having fun with the other participants. Thankfully, I was able to meet the dolphins without feeling seasick. They performed front flips and spin jumps right in front of me, and I was so impressed!!!

It seems that this was the only tour where I could swim with dolphins that day. This was all thanks to the veteran Captain Papa and the other staff who patiently searched for them. By the way, we also got to see a whale's tail and a jump.

I hope the sea is a bit calmer next time...

For those participating, I recommend preparing for seasickness and the cold. I think the best way to combat seasickness is to chat and have fun with the people around you!

とにかくイルカと泳ぎたくて、テーマパークも含めいろいろ検討しましたが、内容が盛りだくさんだったので、こちらを選びました。

当日は、結構海が荒れていて、船酔いする人も続出。
私も最初は怖さを感じていたのですが、カメラマンのSheraさんが「キャプテンはベテランだから怖がらなくて全然大丈夫！」と笑顔で言ってくれたことで緊張が解け、その後は他の参加者とはしゃいでいました。
そして、船酔いと無縁のまま、イルカに出会うことができました。
目の前でフロントフリップやスピンジャンプを見せてくれて、大感激！！！

この日海に入り、イルカと泳げたのはここのツアーだけだったようです。
これもベテランのキャプテンパパさんや他のスタッフのおかげです！本当に根気強く探してくれました。
ちなみに、クジラのおしりとジャンプも見られました。

次回はもうちょい海が穏やかだったらいいなぁ。。。

参加する方には、船酔い対策と寒さ対策をしておくことをお勧めします。一番の船酔い対策は、周りの人とたくさんおしゃべりをして、はしゃいじゃうことだと思います！

Wild Dolphin and Sea Turtle Snorkeling - Luxurious! Prestigious Dolphin University! (Oahu)

I participated on New Year's Eve this time, but the sea was rough... the boat was swaying... both my partner and I ended up feeling unwell (many others were also feeling sick).

However! Even in rough seas, there were good things, like the humpback whales performing spectacular high jumps!!! They jumped quite close to us, which was very exciting!

Unfortunately, there was no duet swim with dolphins as originally intended, as mentioned on the website and in the information; we only saw the pilot whales swimming from the boat.

At the end, we returned to the cove to play a bit, and the cheeseburgers that came out during that time might have been the best part... (I did jump into the rough sea once, but I didn't encounter any dolphins and felt like a passenger escaping from a sinking ship...)

The captain and the staff were very fun and nice people, so I didn't have any unpleasant experiences, and it was enjoyable. However, since we couldn't achieve the original goal, I give it three stars.

今回は大晦日に参加しましたが、海があれてあれて・・・船がゆれてゆれて・・・私も彼女もダウンしてしましました
（他にもけっこうダウンされてました）

しかーし！荒れた海でもいいことはあるもので、ザトウクジラがハイジャンプの嵐！！！かなり近寄っても跳んでくれたので、とても興奮しました！

ただ残念ながら、本来の目的であったHPや案内にあるようなイルカとのデュエットスイムはまったく無し、ゴンドウイルカの泳ぎを船の上から見るだけでした。

最後に入り江に戻って軽く遊ぶのですが、その時に出てくるチーズバーガー始め、その時間がいちばん良かったかも・・・（一回は荒れた海に飛び込んだのですが、イルカとも遭遇せず、且つ沈没する船から逃げた乗客のようでした・・）

船長はじめ、スタッフはとても楽しくいい人たちなので嫌な思いは一切しませんし、楽しかったです。ただ本来の目的が達成できず、ということで星三つです。

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Beautiful snorkeling

Reviewed by: G. Akers

Excursion was overall quite enjoyable. Was a bit disappointed that no turtles were seen, but this was due to weather/surf conditions and not under staff control. Crew worked hard to try to get all passengers in water with small pod of dolphins we encountered. As they were constantly moving, saw more of them from boat. They were amazing and a lot of fun to watch.
The highlight of the trip for me was feeding the fish while snorkeling. As soon as a few food pellets released, you'd be swarmed with beautiful tropical fish--quite the experience. (However, as there were so many passengers on the trip, you were also surrounded by other swimmers making it difficult to maneuver without getting hit, bumped, or kicked.) Majority of staff were very nice and worked hard to make guests comfortable. Photographer did a fantastic job.
Would definitely recommend the excursion, but be aware that conditions can affect what you experience, be prepared to be snorkeling in a good-sized group in op

Reviewed by: Shannon

My husband and I did the morning snorkle on 10/26/09. Being a certified SCUBA diver, I never thought snorkeling would be so memorable after diving several exotic locations. Boy was I wrong. The staff made it a point to make all 3 locations as memorable and interactive as possible from locating a pod of approx 160 dolphins after several failed attempts to even finding several impressive turtles at the "cleaning station." This is a total A+++ adventure and I recommend to everyone. But for having event planned every other day during our stay, I would have gladly redone this adventure and hope to do it again when we return to Hawaii.

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Marina

It was great. I was lucky enough to have the turtles swim right up to my nose, and the dolphins to swim up right underneath me. We had some trouble getting the dolphins to come close, but I'm glad that the crew kept on trying. The guys were really nice and the photographer took some great shots. I think it's great for first timers as well - you can opt to go after everyone and the crew really makes sure that you're safe. I would do it again any time (if I had more time in Oahu, I actually would've done it again in the week that I was there) and highly recommend it.

I wish I heard about the "deep drop" before I went, but I guess it just means I'll have to go again...

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!

私は泳ぐことができなく、楽しめるのかな？船の上からでもちゃんとイルカが見れるのかな？と心配でした。
しかし！船の上からでもきちんとイルカに出会う事ができました。しかもイルカの群れ！
初めて見るイルカにとっても感動し、癒されました。
海中に潜ることはできませんでしたが、間近でイルカの群れを見れたり、カヤックにのったり、キャプテンが船上でハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、クルーの人達がフラを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いてくれたりととても充実した時間を送ることができました。泳げない人でも十分にハワイの海を楽しめるツアーでした。

I went on September 21.
There are other tours where you can swim with dolphins, but this is the only one where you can swim with wild dolphins!

The price is a bit high, but I think you'll encounter more fish and swimming turtles than at Hanauma Bay.

The website also has testimonials, images, and videos for reference: www.iruka.com

他にもイルカと泳げるツアーはありますが、野生のイルカと泳げるのはココだけ！

ちょっと値段は高いですが、ハナウマ湾に行くよりも多くの魚や泳ぐ亀に出会えると思います。

I was moved by the pod of dolphins! イルカの群れに感動！

Reviewed by: Hiroe

I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!

While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!

A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!

It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪

After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.

The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.

Thank you for this precious experience!

初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました！

のどかな風景を眺めつつ、オアフ島西部ワイアナエ・ハーバーへ！透き通っててきれいな海をボートで沖へ5分ほど行ったところで、泳ぐ準備をしました。丁寧な説明を受けながら、ウェットスーツ（上半身）とライフジャケットに着替えていたら、イルカの群れが！

ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです！合計で２０~３０頭くらいかな？中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも！よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ！！！

今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪

その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング！ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。

はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。

Oahu West Coast Sunset Cruise with Cocktails from Waianae - Hawaii Nautical

Very Relaxing!!

Reviewed by: Lilly

We did the sunset cruise and it was great. We walked to the marina from our hotel (Marriott Beach Club) and were surprised how friendly the staff on board was. They were always offering us drinks and chatting with us. Sitting on the net of the boat was fun and the sunset was romantic. I had champagne and my finance had the cruise's "special" drink which had 3 shots of rum in it. The experience was romantic but a family would enjoy this too. There were a few groups of friend on board that seemed to enjoy themselves. It is a nice end to the day, not too expensive, and very relaxing. Recommended for everyone!!

On September 8th, I enrolled at the prestigious Dolphin University for the first time. Since I was a child, it has been my dream to swim with dolphins, and I finally got to fulfill that dream this time.

As others have written, the excitement of encountering dolphins and swimming with them is beyond measure. This is something you must experience for yourself and truly feel. The other tour activities are also plentiful, so there's no doubt you'll be satisfied.

Moreover, the staff members are incredibly kind. They welcomed us with warm smiles, and I could feel their genuine effort to make our experience enjoyable.

What left the biggest impression on me during this tour was not only swimming with the dolphins but also Yuriko's feelings towards the dolphins and her message to us. I was truly moved by this. You might think it's an exaggeration, but after listening to Yuriko's stories on the boat, I feel like my perspective on life has slightly changed. I realized the importance of cherishing each day, remembering to be grateful, and valuing who I am now.

There may be other tours that offer "swimming with wild dolphins," but I believe there are many experiences that can only be found at this prestigious university.

I will definitely participate in this tour again! And when I have friends visiting Hawaii, I want to recommend this tour without hesitation.

９月８日、初めて名門イルカ大学に入学しました。
私は小さい頃からイルカと一緒に泳ぐことが夢だったのですが、
今回ようやくその夢を叶えることができました。

他の方も書いている通り、イルカと遭遇し一緒に泳げたときの感動といったら、もう計り知れません。
これは実際に体験して、ぜひ感じて欲しいです。
他のツアー内容も盛り沢山で、満足することは間違いなしです。

そして、スタッフの方は本当に親切です。
とても温かい笑顔で私たちを迎えてくれ、楽しませようと必死になってくれてる気持ちが伝わりました。

私がこのツアーで一番印象に残ったことは、イルカと一緒に泳げたことはもちろんですが、ユリコさんのイルカに対する思いや、
私たちへのメッセージです。
これには本当に心を打たれました。
大げさだと思うかもしれませんが、船の中で百合子さんが話してくれたお話を聞いて、人生感が少し変わった気がします。
一日一日を大切にし、日々感謝することを忘れず、今の自分を大切にしようと思うことができました。

『野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ』このような内容のツアーは他も探せば出てくるかもしれません。
ですが、この名門大学でしか味わえないことは沢山あると思います。

絶対にまたこのツアーに参加しにいきます！！
そしてハワイに行く友達がいるときは、
迷わずこのツアーをお勧めしたいと思っています。

I was really looking forward to this tour because it promised that we would definitely see dolphins... and we encountered a pod of dolphins about 4 to 5 times!! When we dropped into the sea at a dolphin spotting location and floated for a while, a few dolphins came over... The guide said, "Dolphins here!" and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds. It was just amazing!!

After that, we moved by boat to a spot where we could see lots of fish and enjoyed snorkeling. When I held out some bread, the little yellow fish came right up to eat it. It felt like being in a natural aquarium, and we also enjoyed kayaking, making it accessible for a wide range of ages. There were actually little kids, pregnant women, and grandfathers participating with their grandchildren! For those who are not confident swimmers, the staff is there to support you, so there's absolutely no need to worry. You really shouldn't miss this; it's an incredible experience!

イルカに必ず会えるとのことで、とっても楽しみにしていたツアーでしたが・・・イルカの群れに４~５回は遭遇できました！！
イルカに出会えるスポットで海にチャポンと落ちて、しばらく海に漂っていたところ、イルカが数頭でやってきて・・・ガイドさんが「イルカここぉぉ~」と教えてくれます。キューキューとイルカの声まで聞こえましたよ。もう感激です！！
その後はまた船で移動して、魚がいっぱい見られるスポットでのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。手にパンを持つと、黄色いお魚さんがパクパク食べにくるんですよ。天然の水族館に癒され、カヤックも楽しめたりと幅広い年齢層での参加が可能と思います。実際にちっちゃいお子さん、妊婦さん、孫たちと一緒に参加のおじいちゃんなどおられましたよ♪泳ぎが苦手な方は、スタッフさんがついてサポートしてくれるので心配は全くありません☆行かなきゃ損っていうくらい最高の時間を過ごせますよ

We participated as a family of three on August 25th (our child is a first-grade boy). I might have been the most excited when we encountered a pod of dolphins. I think it's rare to find a tour where you can swim with them. When we met a turtle, my husband jumped into the sea and touched its shell. Surprisingly, our child got really into paddle surfing and kept challenging himself until the end. It was a truly fulfilling tour that kept both kids and adults engaged. Also, the tour guides were really warm-hearted people, and I definitely want to participate again. Thank you, Yuriko, for keeping the atmosphere lively until the end!

８月２５日に家族３人で参加しました。（子供は小１の男の子）イルカの群れに遭遇した時は私が一番興奮してたかも・・。一緒に泳ぐことのできるツアーはなかなかないと思います。亀に出会ったときは主人も海にとびこみ甲羅を触っていました。子供は意外にもパドルサーフィンにはまり最後まで挑戦していました。子供も大人も飽きることなく本当に充実したツアーです。あと、ツアーの方々が本当に温かい人たちで是非また参加したいです。ゆりこさん、最後まで明るくもりあげてくださってありがとうございました！

It's a greedy tour! 欲張りなツアーですよ！

Reviewed by: マック

On August 12, 2009 (Wednesday), our family of three (two adults and one child, age 8) participated. We were worried that the tour might be canceled due to the hurricane forecast for August 11, but it was confirmed to go ahead. Our family is a heavy dolphin fan, having participated in "Private Dolphin Middle School" during the same period in the summer of 2008 and again at the end of 2008, where we encountered dolphins and swam with them both times. This time, we decided to advance to the prestigious Dolphin University, which has upgraded its offerings. Swimming with wild dolphins is extremely rare worldwide and can be considered a high-potential tour. Generally, dolphin watching tours are more common, but Dolphin Middle School and this university allow you to swim with dolphins, making it a worthwhile activity to pay for in Hawaii. Conversely, it’s an experience you can’t have unless you participate in the tour.

Our pick-up was by Yuriko, the class representative from Private Dolphin Middle School, in a yellow van. However, the weather was rainy. It was raining enough in Waikiki that we occasionally needed umbrellas. There were several other groups participating, but the rainy drive dampened the mood. In such circumstances, Yuriko kept our spirits high and encouraged us. We enjoyed freshly made Leonard's malasadas on our way to Waianae Harbor.

Waianae Harbor is located in the West Oahu region, which is a dry area. Because of this, the weather was different from Waikiki, and we were lucky to have cloudy weather with occasional sunshine that day.

Additionally, we were fortunate to encounter a large pod of dolphins just five minutes after departure! We were satisfied to see the dolphins up close, and it was great to hear their sounds. After swimming with the dolphins, we headed to the underwater palace with tropical fish! There, we could swim with turtles and tropical fish, and if we got bored, we could play with kayaks or paddle surfing.

It was a greedy tour with swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with tropical fish and turtles, paddle surfing, and hula dancing.

Lastly, I would like to note the differences between the university and middle school for your reference.
■ Differences ■
? Boat
→ Middle school uses a boat, while the university uses a catamaran.
? Number of times swimming with dolphins
→ Middle school has three times, while the university has one time.
? Meals
→ Middle school provides snacks on the return bus.

２００９年８月１２日（水）に３人家族（大人２名、子供１名(8才)）で参加しました。８月１１日にハリケーンが来るということで天気も曇りがち、明日は中止かな・・・と思っていたら催行が決定しました。私たち家族は、08年夏の同じ時期に「私立イルカ中学」に参加し、08年の年末にも「私立イルカ中学」に参加したヘビーなイルカファンで、これまで２回ともイルカと遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができたので、今回はバージョンアップした名門イルカ大学へ進学を決めました。野生のイルカと泳げるツアーというのは、世界でも極めて稀で、ポテンシャルの高いツアーと言えると思います。一般的にはイルカウォッチングツアーなるものが主ですが、イルカ中学、この大学はイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができ、ハワイのアクティビティーの中でもお金を出して参加する価値があるものだと思います。逆に言えばツアーに参加しないと経験できないアクティビティーです。

　お迎えは私立イルカ中学の学級委員長のゆりこさんです。黄色いバンでお出迎え。しかしながら天気は雨。ワイキキは時折傘が必要なぐらいの雨が降っていました。私たち以外にも数組のグループが参加していましたが、雨のドライブでテンションは下げ下げ。そのような中、ゆりこさんがテンション上げ上げで励ましてくれます。出来立てホヤホヤのレナーズマラサダを食べながらワイアエナ港へ迎います。

　ワイアエナ港は西オアフ地域にあり、乾燥地帯。そのかいあり、ワイキキとは天気が異なり、当日は曇り時々晴れという天気でラッキーでした。

　またラッキーなことに出航して５分でイルカの大群に遭遇！　今までの経験より近くでイルカを見ることができ満足！イルカの声も聞けて本当によかったです。イルカと泳いだ後は、熱帯魚のいる竜宮城へＧＯ！　そこでは亀や熱帯魚と泳ぐことができ、飽きたことにはカヤックやパドルサーフィンで遊ぶことができます。

　イルカと泳いだり、熱帯魚、カメさんのいる場所でシュノーケルしたり、パドルサーフィンをしたりフラダンスをしたりと欲張りなツアーです。

　最後に大学と中学の違いですが、みなさんの参考になればと思い記述しておきます。
　■違う所■
？ボート
→中学はボート、大学はカタマラン。
？イルカと泳ぐ回数
→中学は３回。大学は１回。
？食事
→中学は帰りのバスでスナック。

At first, about half of the people were seasick, in a chain reaction.

But somehow, we managed to get into the water and met a lot of dolphins.

I wondered if we would really encounter them in such a vast ocean, but around 30 dolphins were swimming slowly.

If possible, I would love to reunite on a calm day at sea again.

はじめは、半分くらいの人が船酔いで、連鎖状態。

でも何とか水中に入って、たくさんのイルカ君たちに逢えました。

こんな広い海で、本当に逢えるのかな？？
って思いましたが、30頭くらいが、ゆっくり泳いでいました。

出来れば、また海の穏やかな日に、再会したいです。

I was a bit anxious because I have a 5-year-old daughter, but after seeing that younger children were participating on this site, I decided to join in.

Once on board, we sang Hawaiian songs with the local crew and were already having a great time. We were welcomed by a double rainbow and got to see many dolphins in the ocean. I didn't notice, but my son and husband were thrilled to hear the dolphins' chirping sounds, which was a different experience from the aquarium. My daughter couldn't snorkel very well, but they provided special equipment so she could peek at the dolphins underwater.

Along the way, the captain personally grilled cheeseburgers on the boat, which helped soothe our tired bodies. They also showed consideration for my husband, who had lost his appetite due to seasickness, by preparing some food for him to take home as a souvenir.

After moving to a different location, we also had a lot of fun with sea kayaking and feeding tropical fish.

During the activities, a professional photographer accompanied us, and we were able to purchase beautiful family photos with the stunning Hawaiian nature as the backdrop, which became the best souvenir.

Experiencing nature is truly the best!!

I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

Thank you, powerful Yuriko! Please send my regards to all the crew.

5歳の娘がいたので、不安でしたが、このサイトを見てもっと小さい子も参加していたので、思い切って参加してみました。

乗船してからハワイの歌を現地のクルーと歌ったり、もうすっかり楽しんでいました。
ダブルレインボーに迎えられ、海の中で沢山のイルカと会えました。私は気づかなかったけれど、息子と主人はイルカのチッチッチという声も聞こえたよ~と水族館とは一味違う野生のイルカに感動したようです。娘はシュノーケルはうまく出来なかったのですが、特別な道具を用意してくれて海の中のイルカを覗くことができました。

途中で船長自ら船上で焼いてくれたチーズバーガーで冷えて疲れた体を癒してくれました。船酔いで食欲のなかった主人にはお土産として持って帰れるように心遣いもして下さいました。

場所を移動してからの、シーカヤックや熱帯魚への餌付けもとても楽しかったようです。

活動中、ずっとプロのカメラマンが同行しており、ハワイの大自然をバックにとてもナチュラルな笑顔の家族の写真も購入することが出来て、最高のお土産になりました。

やはり自然体験が一番です~！！

またハワイに行った時には是非参加したいと思います。

パワフルなユリコさん！最高の夏休みをありがとうございます。クルー皆さんに宜しくお伝えください。

This is my third time participating after three years. I strayed to other companies twice, but I realized this is the place for me and came back. This time, I was able to meet and swim with many dolphins up close. About three pods came by alternately, and they swam around the catamaran for quite a long time.

After that, I went snorkeling and kayaking, enjoyed delicious burgers and fruits made by the staff, and danced the hula on the way back. There really are no misses here! I’ve participated in various ways—group, family, and solo—but the staff always made it fun, and I never felt anxious at all.

The tea service after coming out of the water and the thoughtful gestures during the cruise... the staff's service is top-notch. The cost performance might be a little higher than others, but it’s definitely worth it. I’ll be participating again soon!

３年ぶり３度目の参加です。
他社で２回浮気をして、やっぱココだと思って帰ってきました。今回もたくさんのイルカ達と会えて至近距離で泳げました☆
３つくらいの群れが交互にやってきて、随分長い時間カタマランの周りを泳いでました。
それからシュノーケル、カヤックサーフィンをして、パパさんの美味しいバーガーとフルーツを食べてフラを踊りながら帰ってきました。
ほんと外れ無し！！
グループ・家族・一人参加と色々な形で参加しましたが、いつでもスタッフのみんなが楽しませてくれて、不安な思いは全く感じませんでした。
海から上がった時のお茶のサービスや、クルージング中の細やかな心使い･･･と、スタッフさん達のサービスはピカイチです。コストパフォーマンスだけは･･･他よりもちょっとだけ高いかもしれませんが、その価値は充分アリです♪
また近いうちに参加しに行きます☆

Weather didn't cooperate

Reviewed by: Washington Mom

This probably would have been much better if it hadn't been so windy & rainy. Nevertheless, my family had a good time, the food was very good, and the staff friendly & accomadating. The trampoline was pretty cool and my 7 year old enjoyed it. My older daughter did the snorkel tour and said it was ok.

In mid-February, I participated alone. I quickly became friendly with two other solo participants and had a great time. The staff were also enjoyable and helped create a lively atmosphere. Next time, I want to learn from a very charming female photographer and participate in a way that allows me to dive deeper and longer.

2月中旬、一人で参加しました。
すぐに、一人参加の二名の方々とうちとけ、
楽しく過ごせました。
スタッフの方々も、楽しく、盛り上げてくれました。
次回は、とってもチャーミングな女性カメラマンを見習い、もっと深く、長く、潜れるようになって参加したいです。

The best activity in Hawaii we had

Reviewed by: Rob

This was just an awesome day. Our captain was a really cool guy and was very knowledgeable about dolphins. He managed to find some Whales annd dolphins shortly after that. He dropped us off in the water, close enough to see the dolphins. This trip is really worth the money. We swam whith loads of fishes as well as turtles.
The only negative thing was the driver that took us to the harbour. He was 40 minutes late and really rude. The driver on the way back was funny and in a good mood.
Overall we are so glad to have done this activity.

what a great day........

Reviewed by: the schneider family

We are a family of six, ages 16,18,20,22,48,and 49. This was the best activity we did in Hawaii. We swam with dolphins in the wild, saw a shark while snorkling, fed hundreds of fish, saw beautiful coral, and even watch a whale pretty close up. This trip was amazing. The captain (a woman) was the best person and tried her hardest to please everyone and I think she did. Extremely organized, clean, pleasant, and exciting was this trip. It would be the first trip to book on my next trip. Some of the other trips we did were Zipling, Tubing, Hikes, Helecopter, Small plane, among others. The best was this one........ Thanks for the great memories. Here some pictures I hope you enjoy.

We participated as a family of four on Christmas Day. This has been our annual tradition of traveling to Hawaii for the past ten years, and for the last two or three years, we had been really interested in the dolphin tour. I'm so glad we decided to sign up this time. My daughters (22 and 20 years old) were truly thrilled to see such cute dolphins so close... They were really impressed, saying it was a tour that perfectly matched the name Dolphin You "Dolphins and Me"! When we got on the boat, it was incredibly cold, but the warm hospitality from the staff and the delicious cheese taro burgers we had, along with sweet cakes for Christmas, made us feel pampered. Everyone was very satisfied with Dolphin You. If we have the chance, we would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much.

家族4名でクリスマスの日に参加。10年前からの、毎年恒例のハワイ旅行で、ここ2、3年、ずーっと気になってたイルカツアー。思い切って今回申し込んでよかったです。娘達は（22歳、20歳）可愛いいイルカがあんなに直ぐ側で見られるなんて・・・とホントに大感激しておりました。まさに、ドルフィンユー「イルカとわたし」のネーミングにぴったりなツアーだ！と妙に感心しておりました~♪船にあがると、ものすごく、寒かったですけど、暖かいスタッフの皆様のおもてなしと、美味しいチーズたろいものバーガーをいただいたり、クリスマスということで、甘いケーキまで、ご馳走になり、何から何まで、至れりつくせりのドルフィンユーにみんな大満足でした。機会があれば、また、このツアーに参加したいです！！ありがとうございました。

This time, my husband and our sons, who are in first and sixth grade, participated. They seemed very happy to see a pod of wild dolphins up close, which they had been looking forward to. They were also impressed by the sea turtles, beautiful fish, and the clear ocean. They happily talked about how delicious the hamburger made with taro bread was, which they ate on the boat, and how they danced the hula after getting off the boat.

During this trip, I let the kids experience various activities, but the most fun thing they both said was the "dolphin tour!" I'm glad we participated.

今回、夫と小１・小６の息子たちが参加しました。
楽しみにしていた野生のイルカの群れを間近に見ることができて、とてもうれしかったようです。
また、海ガメやきれいな魚たち、透き通った海に感動していました。
また、船の上で食べたタロイモのパンで作ったハンバーガーがとても美味しかった事、船を降りてからフラダンスを踊ったことを楽しそうに話してくれました。

今回の旅行では子供達にいろいろ体験させたのですが、一番楽しかったことは「イルカツアー！」と二人揃って言っていました。参加させてよかったと思います。

might have been really great if...

Reviewed by: Chuck and Cindy

the sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the dolphins were swimming, the reef was closer to the surface. But it wasn't, not any. No sailing because of no wind. No sun. No dolphins. I'm near sighted, so the reef, in the sunless water, was too darn deep for me to really see. Got a re-ride ticket - but what good is that going to do me? This was a once in a lifetime trip. I didn't score it worse, cause the "catatonics" helped my mood, and I absolutely love the ocean, no matter what.
