All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

I participated with three women on February 27.

The weather was nice, warm, and perfect for the beach.

The guides, Kayoko, Papa, Peter, Olli, Bobby, and Justin, were all unique and wonderful people! I especially appreciated Kayoko's help.

Fortunately, we were able to see whales and turtles. We also got a great view of dolphins, and even for someone like me who is scared of the ocean, it was so cute that I forgot all about my fears!

Kayaking was also fun♪

I would love to participate again!

２月２７日に女３人で参加しました。

天気も良く、温かくて海日和でした。

運良く、クジラとカメも見れました。
イルカも、バッチリ見れて
海が怖い私でも、そんな事忘れちゃうぐらい
と~ってもキュートでした！！！

カヤックも楽しかったです♪

また参加したいと思います(*＾＾*)ｖ

I participated with my child. The child was overjoyed and loved the dolphin boom. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was also the best. ☆

子供と一緒の参加でした。子供は大喜びでドロフィンブームです。船で食べたチーズバーガーも最高でした。☆

It was early in the morning, so I was a bit sleepy, but our local guide, YURIKO, greeted us with such brightness and energy. On the bus, she explained the activities in a fun and easy-to-understand way while playing a DVD, and before we knew it, we arrived at the port! On the boat, there were crew members and coincidentally, a reporter and photographer from a Japanese Hawaii magazine, so we boarded with a large group and set sail! We explored the beautiful sea at dawn while searching for dolphins. Just when we were feeling a bit disappointed because we couldn't find any dolphins, we spotted a whale spouting! After that, dolphins were still elusive, so we temporarily stopped the boat to experience snorkeling in a spot known for its abundant tropical fish! It was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the beautiful, colorful tropical fish, starfish, and sea urchins. Just then, a large group of dolphins swam right by us!!! Everyone's excitement skyrocketed, and we made a U-turn towards the direction the dolphins were swimming. I struggled a bit with snorkeling since it was my first time and fell behind. However, the staff quickly noticed and kindly supported me. Just as I was catching my breath and getting ready to go, the dolphins came over, and I was able to swim alongside them up close. When I dove into the water, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins, which was truly moving! I also saw a sea turtle, and at the end, there was a beautiful rainbow! On top of that, there was a double rainbow, which is said to bring good luck☆ The crew and the photographer were all smiles, saying that such a thing is rare. I definitely want to see everyone again! Thank you, YURIKO and all the crew members!

朝早かったので少し眠かったのですが、現地ガイドのＹＵＲＩＫＯさんがとっても明るく元気に出迎えてくれました。バスの中ではアクティビティの内容を分り易く楽しくＤＶＤを流しながら説明してくださりあっという間に港に到着！船にはクルーとたまたま日本のハワイ雑誌の取材の記者とカメラマンが来ており大所帯で乗り込みいざ出航！まだ朝焼けが綺麗な海をイルカを探しながらあちこち回りました。なかなかイルカが見つからず少し落胆してきたら偶然鯨の潮吹きが！その後もイルカはなかなか現れず、一旦船を止めて熱帯魚がたくさんいるという場所でシュノーケリングを体験！初体験でしたがすごく綺麗で色とりどりの熱帯魚や、ひとで、うになどを見れて感動してると・・・イルカの大群が真横を横切りました！！！みんな一気にテンションが上がりイルカの泳ぐ方向へＵターン。私は始めてのシュノーケリングでうまく進めず疲れて遅れをとってしまいました。でもすぐにスタッフの方が気づいてくれて優しくサポートしてくださり、息が整っていざ向かおうとしたらイルカがこっちへ来てくれてすぐ近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。海に潜るとイルカの「きゅーきゅー」と言う可愛い鳴き声が聞けて本当に大感動でした！ウミガメも見れて最後には綺麗な虹が！その上に更に虹がかかり幸運を招くというダブルレインボウに☆こんなことは珍しいよと、クルーとカメラマンもニコニコ笑顔でした。またみんなに絶対会いたいです！ありがとうＹＵＲＩＫＯさん＆クルーの皆様！

I participated in a tour that didn't include lunch, but there was a good variety of food available at the shop, which was great. Being able to eat what I like at my own pace makes this tour more recommendable.

The most fun part was the Shaka. I ended up trying it three times. I heard the instructions from the staff: "Keep your chin down, don't let go of your hands, and lift your hips," and then I was kicked off with the float tube saying, "Let's go." I don't know the exact slope, but it felt like a steep drop while riding the tube. The first time, I forgot to keep my chin down and my neck hurt; the second time, I forgot to lift my hips and almost lost my bikini; but by the third time, I finally managed to do it as instructed.

The FlowRider was also fun, but challenging. You can only do it one at a time, so it felt a bit embarrassing with everyone watching. The wave pool was awesome too! The waves were huge and there were so many of them! Those waves felt like a storm. It was so much fun.

I was a bit scared of my swimsuit coming off, so I only tried the tube rides, but I was very satisfied. There was hardly any waiting time. If it got a little cold, I could warm up at the spa.

I think it's a place that people of all ages can enjoy. I'm glad I went.

　ランチは含まれていないツアーに参加しましたが、売店でけっこう種類豊富に食べ物があるので、すごくよかったです。好きなものを好きな時間に食べられるのでこちらのツアーのほうがお勧めかも。
　すっごい楽しかったのはシャカ。3回も挑戦してしまいました。係員の人に「アゴをひいて、手を離さないで、お尻を浮かして」という注意事項を聞き、「Let's go」と浮き輪チューブを蹴り出されます。何度くらいの斜面かわからないけれど、チューブに乗っていると落ちるっていう感じで急降下。1度目はアゴをひくのを忘れ首がいたくなり、2度目は腰を浮かすのを忘れてビキニが脱げそうになり、3度目にやっと落ち着いて言われたとおりにできました。
　ダ・フローライダーも楽しい。でも難しい。一人ずつでしかできないので、みんなが見てるからなんか恥ずかしい。あと波のプールもサイコー！波が大きくて、そして多すぎ！あの波は嵐です。楽しすぎる。
　水着が切れちゃったりするのが怖いのでチューブを使用するものしか挑戦しなかったけれど大満足でした。待ち時間も全然なかったし。ちょっと寒くなったらスパで温まれるし。
　どの年代の方も楽しめるところだと思います。行ってよかったです。
　

It was a great family fun day. I was disappointed the hurricane gulch wasn't included in the [price} (that day was told it would be extra)for it was not excluded on any internet or literature I saw. Just a comment. Had fun despite the rain anyway. Definitely recommend!

this was the best trip we took while in hawaii. it was fabulous, the food was great, the entire trip was beyond my best expectations. recommend for everyone to do this.

I was able to participate in various attractions without waiting, as it was just the right time to visit (＾＾). The locals were kind, and at the end, I received a small souvenir. I think it's a place that can be enjoyed by families and couples alike.

ちょうど、空いている時期で並ばずいろいろなアトラクションに参加できました（＾＾）　現地のかたも親切で、最後にちょっとしたお土産をいただきました。　家族でもカップルでも楽しめる場所だとおもいます。

This is a nice little park, with a wonderful kids play area, a lazy water float under a water fall and a couple of deep drops. Perfect for people with access problems (I am round with bad knees). Many of the slower "rides" have ramped access to them. The staff quality is misleading. Some of the staff were excellent and fun, seemed to really enjoy working at the park and playing with the toys, showing guests how to have a good time. However; some of them looked bored and like they would rather be eating liver. Every year I like to get an airbrush tatoo which lasts the length of my vacation, to I pick a special one. This time, it didn't even last the afternoon. The guy did not clean my skin, or dust it afterwards and it came off before we left the park. This is a nice way to spend a few hours at a slower pace. Thrill seekers or action junkies will find this way too tame; recommended fore everyone else!

I went with a 9-year old and the waterpark was a blast. They don't have a ton of slides, but the ones they do have are amazing. I wouldn't recommend it for much younger children because most of the rides not only have a height requirement, but are pretty intense as well.

I participated in the Big Splash Package.

The wave pool and thrilling slides offer an intensity that you can't experience in Japan. My top recommendation is the wave pool and the white V-shaped slide called "Shaka." The tube slide that you go down in complete darkness is also a lot of fun.

It might have been the off-season, but the park was not crowded, allowing us to enjoy the attractions without long wait times. Even when there was a line, it was only about 5 to 6 people.

The staff who took care of us on-site were energetic and very friendly. The travel time from the hotel is quite long, but on the way back, you’re so tired from playing that you can fall asleep in no time.

You can experience everything in a day, so it may not be a place you want to visit again soon, but I definitely recommend it for first-timers.

ビッグスプラッシュパッケージに参加しました。

波の出るプール、スリル満点の滑り台など、そのスケールは日本では味わえない容赦無さ。
私のイチオシは波の出るプールと、白いV字型の滑り台『シャカ』。真っ暗の中を滑るチューブスライドも楽しいです。

シーズンオフだったこともあるかもしれませんが、園内は空いていて、アトラクションに並んで待つ時間を取られず、目一杯遊べます。並んでも5~6人程度のものでした。

現地でお世話してくれたスタッフの方は元気良くとても感じのいい方でした。
ホテルとの移動時間が結構長いのですが、帰りは遊び疲れているのでぐっすり眠ればあっという間です。

一日いれば一通り遊び切れる内容なので、もう一回行きたくなる程のものではないですが、初めての方には絶対お勧めです。

This was what I was looking forward to the most on my trip to Hawaii, so my expectations were high, but it was even more fun than I anticipated, and my friends and I were thrilled. The brightness and attentiveness of the staff made the experience even more enjoyable.

The clarity of the ocean was amazing, and we were able to see many dolphins and fish. We even happened to encounter a sea turtle while we were kayaking! It was truly lucky.

The hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious, and the hula lesson was fun, so I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I will definitely be a repeat visitor.

I took a lot of photos, but unfortunately, they didn’t turn out very well, which was a bit disappointing.

今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだったので、それだけ期待も大きかったのですが、予想以上の楽しさで友人共々大感激でした。スタッフの方たちの明るさと気配りで、楽しさも一層倍増されました。
海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカもお魚もたくさん見ることができました。私たちはカヤックに乗っているとき偶然海がめにも出会えたんですよ!!本当ラッキー。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、フラレッスンも楽しかったですし、このツアーに参加してよかったです。リピーターになること間違いなしですね。
と、写真もたくさん撮ったのですが、やはり上手には写っていなかったので少し残念でした。

My girlfriend and I went on your dolphin adventure today on the Kai 'Oli'Oli and we had an amazing time! The sites and food were superb and the staff was very pleasant. The two instructors and or hosts Yoko and Pat did a spectacular job making you feel like you were at home. We will recommend this to all of our friends in Philadelphia when they come to visit.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean.

However, the attractions are also fun!

You can "drop" from an incredible height of about four stories.

You can slide down a slide or ride a tube in complete darkness.

If you're looking for thrills, definitely check it out!

ハワイといえば海。

ですが、アトラクションも楽しい！

ビル４Ｆくらいの凄い高さから「落ちる」

スライダーや真っ暗闇をチューブに乗って滑り落ちたり。

スリルが欲しい人は是非！

It was an activity that both the children and we parents could enjoy together.

子供たちも私たち親も一緒になって楽しめるアクティビティーでした。

This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.

今回、初めてドルフィン＆ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対！ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。

The pools in Japan and the scale itself aren't that different, but everything is open, and you don't have to wait much to ride the slides. It's a spot you can enjoy no matter how many times you go.

日本のプールとスケール自体はそこまで変わらないがすべてが空いていてあまり待たなくてスライダーに乗れる。何回行っても楽しめるスポットです。

My spouse and I participated in this tour. When I asked my wife, "What do you want to do in Hawaii?" she replied, "I want to see dolphins!! I want to see sea turtles (honu)!!" So, we signed up for this tour.

My wife, who gets seasick easily, seemed a bit anxious, but we brought motion sickness medication from Japan, and once she took it, she was totally fine. (Even if you forget, no worries! Motion sickness medication is sold at the shop in Ko Olina Marina.) Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, we encountered dolphins! It was so healing. The dolphins, curious about everything, quickly approached us, jumping around and showing various expressions.

Next, we snorkeled and met honu and various colorful tropical fish... Four honu swam gracefully by. The fish came so close that we could almost touch them. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

After that, it was snack time. Everyone enjoyed their meals on the deck or wherever they liked. The kalua pig was delicious.

The boat had a cabin, making it very comfortable! It also had a restroom, which was very reassuring. I had previously gone on another tour to see dolphins, and I remembered feeling cold when coming out of the water due to the sea breeze. However, I didn't feel too cold inside the cabin, but I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt just in case.

It was a blissful time for my wife and me that flew by. I want to see dolphins again...

夫婦で参加させていただきました。家内に「ハワイで何したい？」と聞いたところ、「イルカに会いたい！！ウミガメ（ホヌ）に会いたい！！」との返事で、このツアーに申し込みました。
船酔いのひどい家内は多少不安だったみたいですが、日本から酔い止め薬を持参し、薬を飲めば、全然大丈夫でした。（忘れても大丈夫！！コオリナマリーナの売店で酔い止め薬を売ってますよ）マリーナを出て、30分もしないうちにイルカとご対面！！いや~、癒されます。いろんなものに興味津々のイルカたちはすぐに近寄って来てくれて、飛び跳ねたり、いろんな表情を見せてくれました。
イルカの次はシュノーケルでホヌやいろんな色の熱帯魚とご対面。。。優雅に4匹のホヌが泳いでました。手に取れるくらい魚たちが近寄ってきてくれました。防水カメラを持って行かれることをおすすめします。
その後、軽食の時間。船の甲板や思い思いの場所でみなさん、食事されてました。カルアピックがうまかったです。
船はキャビン付きの船なので、すごく快適！！トイレも付いてるのですごく安心。以前、別のツアーでイルカを見に行ったことがあったのですが、その時は海から上がると海風が冷たく感じ、寒い思いをしたことがあったのですが、キャビン内にいるとあまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、長袖一枚もって行かれることをおすすめします。
あっという間のうちら夫婦にとって至福の時間でした。
また、イルカに会いたいなぁ~。。。

WE want you to know that we Thnak you for making our reservations, We had the greatest time on our Dolhpin expeience and we will go on the Cat Olina a again sometime.

We participated as a family of two adults and two children. We were very happy and completely satisfied to see the kids so excited and having a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the return meeting time was early when transportation was included. With lunch included, the time flew by.

大人２人、子供２人の家族で参加しました。
子供達がかなり大興奮でとても楽しんでいる姿に、私達も嬉しくて大満足でした。
ただ、送迎付きの場合、帰りの集合時間が早いことがちょっと残念でした。
昼食もとると、あっという間の時間でした。

This was my second time participating. I highly recommend the Big Splash Package! This time, we took advantage of the summer vacation family special rate (with transportation included), which was quite a deal.
*For 2 adults and 1 child, it was $136 (normally $184, with the Splash rate at $134, so for just $2 more, we got meals and a bodyboarding experience).

As a dad planning a family of surfers, the ability to safely bodyboard was a deciding factor for me.

The meals were all-you-can-eat, and the beef and chicken were delicious.

The bodyboarding experience was as fun as I expected.

My little one was riding just like this.

Local bodyboarders were also riding standing up!

The kids' pool has plenty of slides, so I don't think they'll get bored.

The time was a bit short, but it surprisingly used up a lot of energy, so it was just right.

I also received one more experience ticket, so I tried the FlowRider.

It was quite fun!

今回は、2回目の参加。
ビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージがおすすめ！今回は夏休み・ファミリースペシャル料金(送迎付き）の利用でかなりお得でした。
※大人2人　こども1人　136ドル（通常184ドル、スプラッシュ134ドルと2ドルに差で食事とボディーボード体験付き）


家族総サーファー計画を目論むパパとしては、安全にボディーボードができるので決め手になりました。


食事は食べ放題でビーフとチキンうまかった。


ボディーボード体験は予想どおり楽しかった。

チビもままこのとおりのライディング。

地元のボディーボーダーはスタンディング（立って！）乗ってる人も。

こども向けのプールは滑り台が充実。飽きないと思いますよ。

時間は短めですが、意外と体力を使うのでちょうどいいかな。

あと1枚体験チケットをもらえたのでダ・フローライダー
をやってみました。

かなり面白かったです。

Since this was my sixth time in Oahu, I was looking for places I hadn't been to yet, and I signed up for this popular tour.

My impression is that the facility wasn't as large as I expected, and although we had about four hours, it was sufficient. I think it's good for those who have been to Hawaii multiple times, but it might feel like a waste of time for first-time visitors. Toshimaen is larger in scale (laughs).

The most interesting part was the Shaka, which is like a halfpipe. Be careful not to hurt your neck! The Cliffhanger wasn't as scary as I thought, so I went down about ten times.

What I liked here, unlike in Japan, is that it wasn't crowded. The pool itself was average and not very exciting, so I just kept going down the slides, and I got tired climbing back up, resulting in muscle soreness. Therefore, I recommend going on the last day.

オアフは６回目でほとんど行きつくしたので、行ったことがないところを探していたところ、人気のツアーだったので申し込みました。
感想は、思ったほど大きい施設ではなく、４時間くらい時間がありましたが、充分でした。
何度もハワイに行ったことがある人にはいいと思いますが、初ハワイの人にとっては時間がもったいないかも。豊島園のほうが規模が大きいです（笑）
一番面白かったのは、シャカというハーフパイプみたいなやつです。首を痛めないように要注意！
あとクリフハンガーは思ったほど怖くなかったので、１０回くらい滑りました。
ここは日本と違って空いているのがいいですね。プール自体は普通で面白くないので、ひたすら滑り台をやり続け、登るのに疲れて筋肉痛になりました。なので最終日に行くのがおすすめです。

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, making for a very satisfying tour. The sky, the sea, and the greenery were all beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. During snorkeling, I got a bit seasick and felt a little unwell, but it was an emotional experience throughout. The breakfast was also very delicious, and if I hadn't been feeling sick, I could have eaten as much as I wanted.

イルカにも会え、海がめにも会え、かなり満足なツアーとなりました。
空を海と緑、全てが美しくシャッターを切りまくりました。
シュノーケリンングでは、波酔いしてしまい、少し気分が悪くなってしまいましたがとにかく感動の連続でした。
朝食も大変美味しく、酔ってなかったらいくらでも食べれそうでした。

On September 22, I participated in an early morning cruise with friends.

About 30 minutes after boarding the ship, we spotted a pod of dolphins! At first, they swam a little distance away, but gradually they came closer to the boat, and to our surprise, one dolphin swam alongside the bow of the ship! We were thrilled to see the lively dolphins up close from right above the bow. We were able to watch them for quite a while. We even managed to capture on video a dolphin jumping while spinning, which made us very satisfied. Ah, dolphins are such beautiful creatures! They are so healing!

Just as we were basking in that excitement, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles underwater, but I was surrounded by tropical fish, which was also very soothing. Swimming in the clear ocean felt amazing. After snorkeling, it was time for the much-anticipated lunch. The kalua pig was delicious! I couldn't help but go back for seconds.

The ship was spacious and clean, equipped with restrooms, and thankfully, there were hot water showers available. (It felt really nice after snorkeling since my body was cold.) The guide, who spoke Japanese almost perfectly, provided very thorough explanations, which was great. If I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate once more. Next time, I’ll go for the deluxe option!

9月22日、早起きクルーズに友達と参加しました。

船に乗ってから30分くらいたったでしょうか、いました！イルカの群れ！
最初は少し離れたところを泳いでいましたが、だんだんと船に近づいてきて、
なんと船首の先をイルカが船に寄り添うように泳いでくれました！
私達は船首の真上から、その生き生きとしたイルカの姿を間近で見れて大感激でした。
結構長いこと見れました。
無事、スピンしながらジャンプするイルカもビデオにおさめることができて大満足。
あ~イルカってなんて美しい動物なんでしょう！癒されます！

そんな感動もつかの間、今度は場所を移してシュノーケルです。
私は残念ながら水中で海がめを見ることはできませんでしたが、熱帯魚の群れに囲まれてまた癒されました。
透明度の高い海の中を泳ぐのはとっても気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケルの後は、お待ちかねのランチです。カルアピッグ、おいしかったです！
思わずおかわりをしてしまいました。

船内は広くて清潔で、トイレ完備、ありがたいことに温水シャワーも出ます。
（シュノーケル後は体が冷えているのでとても気持ちよかったです。）
日本語をほぼ完璧に話すガイドさんの丁寧な説明もとても良かったです。
ハワイに来たら、またぜひ参加したいと思います。今度はデラックスで！

At first, I was worried about getting seasick or whether I could really see wild dolphins so easily. However, the boat was very comfortable, and no one got seasick. Luckily, we saw a lot of dolphins, including two different species, and I was completely satisfied.

We first spotted a mother dolphin swimming happily with her baby. They were so adorable. Next, we encountered a group of dolphins (about 6 to 7). They were all very active, jumping around, and it felt like we were watching a dolphin show.

After that, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three turtles, colorful fish, and coral. It felt more like diving than snorkeling. The turtles were quite large and impressive.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm coffee, bread, pork, vegetables, and yogurt. It was very delicious after swimming. During our trip, we had a Japanese guide, which made us feel at ease. The weather was cloudy, so it was quite cold after snorkeling. I thought long sleeves would be necessary. In any case, it became a wonderful memory, and I would definitely like to participate again!

最初は、船に酔わないかな？とか、野生のイルカなんてそんなに簡単に見れるのかな？なんて不安もあったのですが、まず船はとっても乗り心地が良く、誰も酔ってる人なんていなかったし、ラッキーにも、イルカはたくさん（しかも２種類も）見れて、もう大満足でした。

イルカは、まずお母さんと赤ちゃんが一緒に仲良く泳いでいるのを発見。とても可愛いらしかったです。次にグループ（６~７頭）のイルカ達に会えました。みんなとっても活発に泳いでいて、ジャンプもしてくれて、まるでイルカショーを見ている感じでした。

その後、シュノーケルスポットに行って、亀は３匹、色とりどりのお魚達に、珊瑚も見れて、シュノーケルと言うよりもダイビングをしたような気分に浸れました。亀もかなり大きい亀達で迫力満点でした。

シュノーケルが終わってから、暖かいコーヒーとパンと豚肉と野菜とヨーグルトを頂きました。一泳ぎの後で、とても美味しかったです。私達の時は、日本人のガイドさんがいたので、安心しました。お天気は曇りだったので、やはりシュノーケル後はかなり寒かったです。長袖は必要かなと思いました。ともかく素晴らしい思い出になりました。また是非参加したいです！

An experience and atmosphere that you can't feel in Japan!! It takes a bit of time to get there from downtown Waikiki, but it's worth the trip.

日本では体感できない、施設／雰囲気！！
ワイキキ市街地からは、少々時間を要すが、行く価値有り。

I participated on September 16. The weather was clear, and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for cruising. Although I was worried about seasickness, sitting at the front of the boat on the net, feeling the wind and waves, made those worries disappear.

When the captain guided us to a pod of spinner dolphins, I was even more excited! The staff explained that the name "spinner" comes from their jumping spins. Although I couldn't capture the dolphins jumping repeatedly on camera, their images are etched in my memory. During snorkeling at a different location, I was able to see tropical fish and sea turtles. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were very considerate and made the experience even more enjoyable.

If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the waiting time for the bus transfer and cruising was a bit long, which felt somewhat inefficient.

9月16日に参加しました。当日は快晴、波もおだやかで、絶好のクルージング日和でした。船酔いを心配していたものの、船の先頭のネットの上に座り込み、風と波を受けながら進めば、そんな心配も吹き飛びました。
船長の案内で、ハシナガイルカの群れを見つけたときは、更に大興奮！英語でスピナーと呼ばれる由来が、スピンしながらのジャンプだとスタッフが教えてくれました。私達に見せてくれるかのように、何度も何度もジャンプしてくれるイルカの姿はカメラに収めることは出来ませんでしたが、目に焼きついています。場所を移してのシュノーケリングでは、熱帯魚と海がめを見ることができました。日本語堪能なスタッフが色々気遣ってくれ、また、盛り上げてくれ、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
一つだけ難点を挙げるとすれば、バスでの送迎とクルージングとの待ち時間が長く、少し非効率だと思いました。

I was filled with excitement!

As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.

The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!

I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!

I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!

ワクワクしっぱなしでした☆

いつか子供が生まれたら、参加させてあげたい！
みなさん、お勧めします！

On September 11th, my husband and I participated in this activity. I thought the ocean in Hawaii was beautiful, but I didn't realize just how stunning it could be. Despite going by cruiser, the clarity of the water was amazing; you could see the bottom! Unlike the seas in Japan, there were no seaweed or kelp floating around, and there was no distinct ocean smell.

There were beautiful fish (tropical fish!) and we even got to see sea turtles. We were told that we might not see dolphins, but we encountered two groups of them, and we were able to watch them jump and spin like in a show. Dolphins are so cute! I was truly thrilled!

I really felt that coming to Hawaii was the right choice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was taught carefully, and since I could borrow a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it even though I'm not a strong swimmer. It was also reassuring to have Japanese staff join us in the water.

9/11に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
キレイだと思っていたハワイの海が、こんなにもキレイだとは思っていませんでした。クルーザーで行くところにもかかわらず、海の底が見える透明感がスゴイ!!日本の海みたいに、ワカメやこんぶが浮いていないし、海独特の匂いもしないんです。
キレイなお魚（熱帯魚～）もいるし、ウミガメも見ることができました。見れない場合もあるといわれていたイルカは、2つの群に遭遇することができ、まるで、ショーのようにスピンしながらジャンプする姿も見ることができました。
イルカかわいい!もう、大感激!!
ほんとに、ハワイに来てよかったねーって実感できました。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえたし、ライフジャケットも借りられたので、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました♪日本語スタッフが一緒に海に入ってくれたのも、安心できました。

I absolutely recommend this. My daughter and I participated together. We arrived at Kona Marina in 45 minutes from Waikiki, and it felt luxurious, like we were the owners of the yacht harbor we see on TV. We boarded the boat with a handsome young man, a dandy captain, and a cute Hawaiian girl guiding us. Coffee, tea, water, and canned drinks were all-you-can-drink. The tour guide mentioned that encountering dolphins was not guaranteed, so I thought it would be okay if we didn't see any. However, within 10 minutes, we heard "dolphins" and rushed to the bow, where a pod of dolphins was swimming, including a mother and baby dolphin swimming closely together. The boat kept a respectful distance as we watched, and while learning that dolphins are nocturnal and swim while sleeping during the day, they jumped and spun in the air. I only had my camera, so I missed the shutter chance since they didn't announce when they would jump, but bringing a video camera would be a good idea.

Next, we challenged ourselves to snorkel. After receiving instructions, we headed into the sea, but I struggled with breathing and ended up sputtering. I finally got the hang of it and looked into the water at a depth of 6 meters, where the Hawaiian girl guided us to a spot where sea turtles were likely to be. We saw five sea turtles swimming! Then, we heard from the boat, "Dolphins are here," and when we looked into the water, there was a dolphin swimming right next to us. We could hear the dolphin's "pee" sound. My daughter and I popped our heads up to signal that we saw it. She asked the Hawaiian girl if she could try diving, so she took off her snorkel and fins, exhaled, and tried free diving. After a few attempts, she struggled to go deeper and felt pain in her ears, so she gave up. The Hawaiian girl demonstrated free diving quite deeply.

For some reason, that day, there were only three of us snorkeling: my daughter, myself, and another girl from Seattle, so we could enjoy it leisurely. Others on the boat were watching us. After that, we had breakfast on the boat, which included chicken, bread, salad, fruit, yogurt, and muffins, and it was all very delicious. I decided that I definitely want to snorkel again next time. Thank you so much, Alan1. I had a truly meaningful time.

絶対絶対オススメです。娘と二人で参加しました。
ワイキキから45分でコナマリーナに到着、テレビで見るようなヨットハーバーまるで自分たちがオーナーであるかのようなリッチな気分で船に乗り込み、イケメン風のお兄さんとダンディなボーン船長とキュートでかわいいハワイ娘の3人が案内してくれます。コーヒー･紅茶･水に缶ジュースは飲み放題です。ツアーの案内にイルカとの遭遇は確約ではありませんと書いてあったので、会えなくても仕方ないかぁと思っていたら、10分もしないうちに「イルカ」という声で船首に出てみるとイルカの群れが泳いでいました、親子イルカまでいます、親子仲良く離れずに泳いでいます、船はつかず離れずで進んでいきます、イルカは夜行性で昼間は寝ながら泳いでいると説明を聞きながら見ていると、空中に飛び3回転スピン・2回転スピンをしてくれました、カメラしかもっていなかったので、今から飛ぶぞと言ってくれない為、シャターチャンスは見逃しましたが、ビデオを持っていくといいですよ。さあいよいよシュノーケルに挑戦、説明を受けいざ海へ、息の吸う吐くがうまくいかず、げぼげぼ、こつをつかみ水深6ｍの海の中をのぞいてみる、海がめのいそうなスポットへハワイ娘が案内してくれます、海がめが泳いでいる、しかも5頭もいるではないですか、そして船から「イルカがきたよ」との合図に海の中をのぞく、すぐ横にイルカが泳いでいる、「ピー」というイルカの声が聞こえる、娘と二人顔を出して、見たの合図、娘はもぐってみたいとハワイ娘におねだり、シュノーケルをはずし、足ひれをはずし空気をぬいて、素もぐり、うまく沈まない、2.3回トライ少し深くもぐって耳が痛いと断念、ハワイ娘は、素もぐりでかなり深く沈んで手本を見せてくれていました。なぜかこの日はシュノーケルをする人が私と娘ともう1人シアトルから来た娘さんと3人だったので、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。他の人たちは船から、私達をウォチングしていました。その後は船のなか、チキン.パン.サラダ．フルーツ.ヨーグルト．マフインの朝食、とってもおいしかったです。次回も絶対シュノーケルをしたいと心に決めた日でした。Alan1ちゃん本当にありがとうございました。とっても有意義に過ごすことができました。

I participated on September 3rd. There were about 40 spinner dolphins, and we could see them clearly from the boat. We also got to see sea turtles gracefully swimming along the seabed while snorkeling. The kalua pig open sandwich was delicious, and the staff provided attentive guidance. I would like to bring my children next time.

９月３日に参加しました。４０頭はいましたね、ハシナガイルカが。船の上からはっきりと見れました。また、海カメも海底を優雅に泳ぐ様がシュノーケルで見れました。カルアピッグのオープンサンドも美味しかったしスタッフも丁寧な案内で、今度は子ども達もつれていきたいです。
