We participated as a family of five, with the youngest being five years old. It was quite hard with diving in and out of the sea... It would be fine for just adults, but it can be tiring with small children. We finally got to see the dolphins at the end, and the excitement when we saw them was immense. We also had a little time for snorkeling, which was fun. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and from the boat, we saw many sea turtles and dolphins, but we couldn't swim together with many of them... I want to try again next time. It's definitely worth participating!
家族5人で参加しました。1番下は5歳。
結構ハードに海にダイブしたり上がったりと…大人だけなら良いですが小さな子連れだと疲れます。肝心のイルカは最後にやっと見れました。見れた時の感動は大きかったです。少しだけシュノーケリングの時間もあり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでも海亀さん見れて船の上からは何度も海亀さん見れて、船の上からは沢山イルカ見れましたが一緒に沢山はさほど泳げませんでした…また次回トライしたいです。参加する価値はあります‼︎

First, the crew was amazing! They were so helpful and made sure we were well equipped to enjoy every minute we were on this adventure. I was so excited to see the dolphins- I started hyperventilating a little as I was swimming toward the cree member that was finding the dolphin pods for our group. I didn’t want to cause a fuss or embarrass myself - so I just tried to calm myself and was promptly helped by another crew member who saw me and helped me to relax and calm my breathing so I could continue swimming. After watching the dolphins for several minutes under the water- they started showing off for us and jumping out of the water. It was thrilling. We stayed in the water for 20-30 min it seemed and I was amazed by the beauty of it all. Then we all returned to the boat - and we’re offered snacks and water and we traveled to a reef where we got back into the water and saw many fish and a sea turtle and snorkeled around looking at all the sea life as the captain anchored the boat and crew members inflated a large slide on the boat. The photographers were very attentive- and if you paid for a photo package- they made sure they took every picture possible of you. I’m 51 and I had a blast on the slide along with my daughter who is 19. Finally, when it was time to go- we were offered food again as the crew entertained us with dancing and music all the way back to shore. We returned to our hotel by 1pm (6 hours after the start) WORTH EVERY PENNY!! We crashed the rest of the day having had so much fun! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!

The experience on this trip was amazing. We are avid snorkelers and love the ocean and animals so our expectations were high. The crew was friendly, fun, kind, (even when we had to be reminded of the safety rules because we got a bit excited when we saw the dolphins) professional, talented and explained the rules and safety precautions very well. We saw a large pod of dolphins as we swam in the bluest of water, sighted whales, snorkeled with tropical fish and two turtles and cruised down the gorgeous West coast listening to Hawaiian music. Magical. Group tours have there frustrations because of the number of people trying to see things at the same time but as far as group tours go this was one of the best we have done! We appreciated the Aloha we received from all the crew! You will not regret going on this trip! Mahalo to all the crew and Tommy who greeted us on the docks.

I had a preschool child with me, and we were able to participate safely and enjoyably. It was a valuable experience to see dolphins swimming right in front of us.
幼稚園の子供がいたのですが安全かつ楽しく参加できました。目の前で泳いでいるのイルカを見ることができ貴重な体験ができました。
Aloha ttt,
I'm glad that even the little ones were able to see the wild dolphins up close!
Even without entering the water, there are times when the dolphins swim alongside the boat, greeting us as they come close. This allows young children and elderly guests to enjoy watching the dolphins from the boat.
Please come visit us again!

First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.
To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.
You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.
By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.
まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。

This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!
今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした!
海の透明度も今回が最高でした!魚もたくさん見れました!
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。

It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.
3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。

I participated with my parents, husband, and 2-year-old child. My husband and I took turns (if the timing worked out) to watch the dolphins.
When it started, it seemed like the timing wasn't going to work out, and I was wondering what to do when a staff member picked up my child. Amazingly, the child who usually cries didn't cry at all!! Thanks to that, my parents, husband, and I were all able to watch the dolphins together.
The staff were considerate of my child until the very end, and we were able to create wonderful memories, so I’m really glad!
両親と旦那と2歳の子どもと参加。
私と旦那で交代(タイミングが合えば可能)してイルカを観ようと参加しました。
いざ始まるとなかなかタイミングが合いそうになく、どうしようと思っていると、スタッフさんが子どもを抱っこしてくれました。しかもいつも泣く子が泣かない!!なので、両親と旦那と私と皆でイルカを観る事ができました。
最後まで子どもに気を遣っていただき、素晴らしい思い出ができたので良かったです!

I participated on March 1st, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable, and it was so cold that I got goosebumps even while wearing a wetsuit. I was able to see dolphins, and they even jumped near the boat. The staff were very enthusiastic, and the taro burger was delicious. The scenery was also great.
3月1日に参加しましたが、あいにく天気には恵まれず、ウエットスーツを着ても鳥肌が立つくらい寒かったです。イルカは見れ船の近くでジャンプもしてくれました。スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれ、タロイモのバーガーも美味しかったです。景色もよかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. Even in tropical Hawaii, there are winter days, and while it is much warmer compared to Japan, there can still be chilly days. This year seems to have particularly many cold days. It's very unfortunate that you couldn't enjoy it fully, but please join us again during a warmer season for a chance to make up for it. We look forward to seeing you.

We participated as a family of three. The meeting time was early in the morning, but surprisingly, we received a wake-up call in our hotel room! The crew was incredibly energetic and worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively. We had a great time.
Whenever we spotted dolphins, we jumped in to see them. We repeated this a few times, going back and forth to where the dolphins were. (For those who are snorkeling for the first time, it might be a bit scary.) While there’s no worry of drowning since you wear a life jacket, the water is quite deep. The dolphins swam quite below us, and they were fast, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did get to see them jumping and swimming in groups.
A sea turtle swam slowly close to us, and my daughter was able to capture some photos of it up close. We also encountered whales from the boat.
The cheeseburger for lunch was quite substantial, and the pineapple was sweet and delicious! However, I think it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. If you don’t take precautions, it could be quite challenging. Floating and swimming in the deep sea is the most likely to cause seasickness.
At the end, we took a group photo, and they later sent the pictures via email. I think the service was attentive in every aspect.
We returned to Waikiki in the early afternoon, which allowed us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, so it was good to do it in the morning. Thank you for a fun day!
家族3人で参加しました。集合時間が早朝だったのですが、なんとホテルの部屋にモーニングコール(^^♪びっくりしました!
クルーの皆さんはめっちゃテンション高く、一生懸命盛り上げてくれ(^^)/
とても楽しく過ごせました。
イルカを見つけると、そこへ飛び込んでイルカを見る。また船でイルカのいる場所に行きイルカを見る・・・を何度か繰り返しました。
(シュノーケリング初めての方は怖いかもしれません)ライフジャケットを着ているので溺れる心配はありませんが、かなり深いので(汗)
イルカは私たちのかなり下を泳いでいて、スピードも早くてあまり近くでは見られませんでしたが、群れで海上をはねて泳ぐ姿も見れました。
ウミガメはゆっくり私たちの近くに泳いできてくれて、娘は至近距離で泳ぐ姿を撮影できました。船の上からは鯨にも会えました。
お昼のチーズバーガーはお肉がかなりボリュ-ムあり。パイナップルも甘くておいしかったです!
ただ、乗り物酔いする方にはかなりきついかと思います。対策していかないと、大変だと思います。船よりも、深い海で浮いて泳ぐことが一番酔います。
最後に全員で写真を撮り、後にメールで写真を送ってくださいました。
何から何まで行き届いたサービスだと思います。
ワイキキに戻るのはお昼過ぎ。午後からは違う予定を入れられるので午前にしてよかったです。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining Dolphin & You. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. During the winter season, there may be some days with a bit of wave action, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication.

I couldn't relax because I was constantly going in and out of the sea. I was hoping to go snorkeling in the shallow waters, but it was a wrong choice. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice.
海に入ったり、出たりが激しく、ゆっくり出来なかった。浅瀬でシュノーケリングを期待していた。セレクト間違いだった。
船での雰囲気は大変良かった。
Thank you for participating.
Wild dolphins may be found in different locations depending on the day, so it is possible to encounter them in shallow waters, but usually, snorkeling takes place a certain distance offshore.
When there are several opportunities to snorkel with dolphins, you can drop into the water each time, but it is also perfectly fine to stay on the boat according to your condition.
I apologize for any lack of guidance.

ご参加ありがとうございます。
野生のイルカはその日によりいる場所が違うため浅瀬で出会ううこともありますが、通常はある程度は沖でシュノーケルとなります。
イルカとのシュノーケルのチャンスが何度かあるときはその度に海にドロップしていただけますが、ご体調に合わせてそのまま船に残っていただいても大丈夫です。
ご案内が行き届かず申し訳ございませんでした。

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.
I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.
In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

I had previously interacted with dolphins in Japan, but I was drawn to participate in this rare activity where you can swim with wild dolphins! I chose this tour particularly because of its 30 years of experience and the presence of Japanese staff, and it was definitely the right choice!! From the pick-up, the energetic Japanese staff elevated our spirits and made the tour exciting. Once we got on the boat, the foreign staff were all friendly, making it a fun experience from start to finish!
The wild dolphins exceeded my expectations, swimming beneath us in incredible numbers and coming back to us multiple times! On that day, they even showcased spin jumps! After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, where we encountered sea turtles and were able to swim with them. On the return boat ride, we even spotted whales that were in Hawaii during this season!
The staff promptly pointed out the dolphins, sea turtles, and whales, so we hardly missed anything! Additionally, we got to play on a slide that goes into the sea, and there was also a hula dance by the staff, making it a luxurious tour that never got boring! It was worth more than the price we paid!!
日本でイルカと触れ合ったことはありましたが、野生のイルカと泳げるという貴重なアクティビティに惹かれ参加しました!特にツアーを始めて30年という実績がある点と日本人スタッフがいる点で選びましたが、大正解でした!!お迎えから気持ちを高めてくれる元気な日本人スタッフさんがツアーを盛り上げてくれ、船に着いてからも外国人スタッフさんもフレンドリーな方ばかりで始終楽しかったです!そして野生のイルカは想像を超える数のイルカが私たちの下を泳いでくれ、何度も来てくれました!この日はスピンジャンプも披露してくれました!その後シュノーケルの場所に移動し、ここでウミガメにも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、帰りの船ではこの時期にハワイにきているクジラにも遭遇できました!
イルカもウミガメもクジラもすぐにスタッフさんが教えてくれるので見逃すことがほとんどありませんでした!
他にも海に飛び込む滑り台で遊べたり、スタッフの方のフラダンスもあり、飽きることのない贅沢なツアーでした!お値段以上の価値がありました!!

It was a high-energy and fun tour from start to finish. We were able to see many dolphins swimming, and although it was just a little, we also got to see sea turtles and whales! My mother, who is in her 70s, didn't push herself from the beginning and signaled for help right after jumping in, so the crew stayed with her, which made us feel reassured. The elementary school children also had a great time playing with the crew, jumping in and splashing around. Since it requires a lot of energy and starts early in the morning, I think it's better to sign up with some extra time to spare. I recommend that those who are anxious take motion sickness medication beforehand. A few years ago, I participated in a dolphin program as well, but the university program is a bit more challenging and has more content. I later went to the office to receive a souvenir bag. It was a wonderful memory to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii.
最初から最後までテンション高く楽しいツアーになりました。
イルカもたくさん泳いでいる様子が見れましたし、ウミガメもちょっとだけどクジラも見ることができました!
70代の母は最初から無理をせず、飛び込んだ直後にヘルプ合図したので、クルーの方がずっと付き添ってくれて安心しました。
小学生の子供たちもクルーの方たちと一緒に飛び込んだり氷かけしたりとたくさん遊んでもらって満足していました。
朝も早くかなり体力も使うので、余裕を持って申し込んだ方がいいと思います。不安な人は酔い止めを飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
数年前にイルカ中学にも参加しましたが、大学の方がちょっと難易度が上がり内容も充実しています。
後日オフィスに行って記念品のバックを受け取りました。
ハワイの大自然を満喫できてとてもいい思い出になりました。

The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...
スタッフさんはいつも笑顔で日本語を話せる方もいて、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
朝からテンションも高く楽しかったです。
イルカもクジラも見れて満足でした!
1月の参加だったため寒いかなと思っていましたが、海から上がると想像以上に寒かったです。
小さなお子さんも参加されていましたが、ブルブル震えていてかわいそうだったので、親御さんは防寒用具しっかり持って行った方が良いと思います。
あと船は結構揺れるので普段酔わない人も酔い止めは必須です。酔ったら最悪です!
子供さんが酔ってハンバーガーも食べれずかわいそうでした…
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are glad to hear that you had a fun time, and our staff is happy as well. Even in sunny Hawaii, the temperature drops a bit during the winter, but there are special benefits during this season, such as the opportunity to see whales. We would be delighted if you could join us again in a different season to experience a different side of Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you!
この度は、ドルフィン&ユーへのご参加ありがとうございます。楽しく過ごしていただき、スタッフも喜んでおります。常夏ハワイでも、冬の時期は少し温度が下がりますが、この時期だけクジラがみられるなどの特典もあります。次回は、また違った季節にご参加いただき、違ったハワイを体験していただけたら嬉しいです。お待ちしています!

I participated with my sixth grader, high school senior, and my 78-year-old mother, who joined us as an observer. The early morning pickup was a bit sleepy, but the excitement blew away that drowsiness. I thought it would be a matter of luck to meet dolphins, but we were able to see them early on, and two turtles even approached us! We took a lot of photos, and the data arrived via email for $60.
It was cold while the boat was moving due to the wind, but it was more bearable in the sun. I think having a hoodie and a large beach towel would be helpful. The crew members were all fun, and we had a great time. Lunch was a cheeseburger, which was very delicious. Motion sickness medication is a must. Although it was a day with little rocking, about four people had mini buckets.
We also went snorkeling, and the kids said the slide at that time was a lot of fun. All three of us are not great swimmers, but we managed to stay together with everyone. I think such an experience is quite rare. I'm glad I participated.
小6と高3と78歳の母と参加しました
母は見学で参加。
朝早くのピックアップは少し眠いですがその眠さを吹き飛ばしてくれる程の感動でした。
イルカと逢えるのも運もあるだろうな思っていましたが私たちは早い段階で会うことができしかも亀も2匹亀の方から近づいて来てくれました。
写真もとても沢山撮っていただきデータで(60ドル)でメールに届きました。
船が動いてる間は風があるので寒いですが日向に出ればマシでしたがパーカーと大きめのバスタオルがあればいいと思います。
クルーの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことができました。昼食はチーズバーガーでしたがとても美味しかったです。船酔いの薬は必須です。揺れが少ない日でしたが4人ほどミニバケツを持っていました。
シュノーケルもしましたがその時の滑り台がとても楽しかったと子供達は言っていました。
私達三人共泳ぎは苦手な方でしたがなんとか皆さんと離れることなく行動できました。
こんな体験は中々無いと思います。
参加して良かったです。

This was my second time participating in a dolphin tour in Hawaii. In a word, it was the best! The staff were all friendly, and it was truly a fun tour! I swam with dolphins as far as the eye could see, and there was plenty of time to enjoy activities like boating and snorkeling afterward! The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious.
I'm already excited about joining the turtle university! If you're considering a dolphin tour in Hawaii, I absolutely recommend it!!
ハワイでイルカのツアーに参加するのは今回が2回目でした。一言で言うと、【最高】です!
スタッフが皆フレンドリーで本当に楽しい楽しいツアーでした!
見渡す限りのイルカたちと一緒に泳ぎその後はボートやシュノーケルのアクティビティを堪能する時間も沢山ありました!昼食のチーズバーガーもとても美味しかったです(^^)
時間は亀大学に参加したいと今からワクワクしています⭐︎
ハワイでイルカツアーをするなら、絶対おススメです!!
Thank you for participating!
Hearing that you had a great time is the best encouragement for our staff.
At Turtle University, you can enjoy snorkeling and marine activities while taking in the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, so please come and experience it!

楽しかったという言葉がスタッフの何よりの励みです。
カメ大学はダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの風景を一望しながらシュノーケルとマリンアクティビティーを楽しめますのでぜひぜひ体験しにいらしてくださいね。

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!
There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.
3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました!!ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです!!
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。
Thank you for your comment. When your child is a bit older, please come back for a rematch. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. We look forward to seeing you again, so please come and visit us.
書き込みありがとうございます。お子様がもう少し大きくなられたら是非またリベンジにいらしてください。貴重なコメントもありがとうございます。是非またお待ちしていますので、遊びにいらしくてださい。

I can't say enough about how amazing this crew is and how much fun we had! The boat is so nice with two different net lounge seating areas at the front with seating space inside the cabin as well. We saw so many dolphins and the crew made everyone feel very comfortable snorkeling. They were also great with pointing out all of the different marine life that they found so we even got to see a couple of sea turtles! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a nice day out on the West side!

The water temperature is warm, and a wetsuit is not necessary. My second grader was able to participate with help from the crew. The kindergarten child observed with the captain on the boat. You can't swim with the dolphins as much as you might think. It's best not to have overly high expectations. However, the crew is a lot of fun, and we got to see dolphins, whales, and turtles. The departure event and hula dancing were fantastic! After seeing the dolphins, we were given cereal bars and drinks, which were water. During the meal, cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice boxes were provided. It's best not to have overly high expectations for the food. The boat sways, and many people leave food behind. If you're going to participate, the price is high, but the university program is good. The middle school program doesn't have the high diving kayak slide and only offers snorkeling. It's an experience worth having at least once, as it's something you can't do every day. The entire crew was amazing! Thank you so much to Maki, JB, Kela, and everyone else.
水温は暖かく、ウェットスーツ不要。小2の子はクルーに助けられながら参加できた。幼稚園の子は船長と船で見学。思ったほどイルカと泳げはしない。過度な期待は禁物。でも、クルーは楽しい人たちばかりだし、イルカ鯨亀を見れたし、出航イベント、フラダンス最高!イルカ見てからシリアルバーのお菓子が配られ、飲み物は水。食事の時にチーズバーガーとスナック菓子、パックのジュースが配られる。食事に過度な期待は禁物。船上で揺れるし残す人が多い。参加するなら値段は高いが大学が良い。中学は高飛び込みカヤック滑り台がなくシュノーケルしかない。一度は体験した方が良いほど普段できない体験ができる。クルー全員最高!マキ、JB、ケラなどなど本当にお世話になりました。
