All Reviews for Waianae Dolphin Coast

Although we could see dolphins from the boat, they didn't appear much during snorkeling, which made me feel that swimming with wild dolphins really depends on luck. Since it was summer vacation, there were more than 30 participants. I thought it was a bit too crowded. As for those who are prone to seasickness, including myself, it seemed that no one got seasick even on a fairly rocky boat, possibly because they had taken medication.

船からはイルカがみえるのに、シュノーケリングのときには
なかなか現れないので野生のイルカと泳ぐのは運のなかとつくづく感じた。
夏休みということもあり、参加者が30人以上いた。
ちょっと詰めすぎではないかな
酔いやすい人は、わたしを含め薬を服用していたのか、かなり揺れる船でも酔っている人は、一人もいなかった。

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii with a friend. I was really moved! I was worried because they mentioned beforehand that we might not see any wild dolphins, but I was able to meet more dolphins than I expected. It was such a great experience to swim so close to wild dolphins and turtles. My dream came true, and I was very satisfied. I could see the dolphins jumping up close, and I swam so near to the turtles that I was worried I might touch them.

The tropical fish were also very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was lovely to release plumeria flowers into the sea from the boat while making a wish.

Leonard's malasadas and the cheeseburger I had on the boat were both delicious, and the staff were cheerful and fun. The ukulele and hula were great too. The scenery was wonderful, and I felt like I received a lot of positive energy.

It was tough to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it to join this tour. It became my most enjoyable memory of this trip to Hawaii.

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so very much!

初めてのハワイで友人と参加しました。
すごく感動しました！野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると事前にお話があり心配でしたが、予想以上にたくさんのイルカたちと会うことができました。あんな近くで野生のイルカや亀と泳げるなんて、とても良い経験ができました。夢が叶い大満足です。イルカのジャンプもまじかで見ることができ、亀も触ってしまうのではと心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

熱帯魚たちもとてもキレイで写真をたくさん撮りました。
プルメリアの花を船から海へお祈りしながら流すのも素敵でした。

レナーズのマラサダも、船の上で食べたチーズバーガーもとてもおいしくスタッフさん達も陽気で楽しいし、ウクレレやフラも良かったです。
また景色も素晴らしくたくさんのパワーをもらうことができたと思います。

朝が早くて大変ですが、早起きしてでも行く価値があるツアーでした。今回のハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

必ずまた参加したいです。

本当に本当にありがとうございました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined my friends. Waking up early was a bit challenging, but it was definitely worth it!

The first stop was Leonard's for malasadas, and even though it was early in the morning, there was a line, so it was clear it was a popular spot. The taste was, of course, delicious.

I heard on the bus to the harbor that we might not see wild dolphins, which made me a little anxious...

After arriving at the harbor, we boarded the boat and had a romantic experience of releasing a song and plumeria flowers into the sea to wish for a safe journey. It took about 30 minutes to reach the area where the dolphins were. (Make sure to take motion sickness medication.)

I was surprised that the captain and guide could tell where the dolphins were just by looking at the surface of the water.

We decided on a spot and headed into the sea! The water was, of course, beautiful! (It was the best sea I visited during my stay in Hawaii!) When the guide signaled, I peered into the seabed and was able to see many dolphins. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a dolphin swimming towards the surface, so I quickly waited at the surface and was able to see a dolphin jump up close. I was so excited that not only did I see the dolphins, but I also got to swim very close to a sea turtle, worrying that I might touch it!

We moved to another location where I could snorkel with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos as memories.

After snorkeling, the snacks, cheeseburgers, and juice we had on the boat were exceptional. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed the guide's ukulele performance, live singing, and learned hula dancing, which made for a fun time.

One disappointing thing was that we couldn't kayak or stand-up paddle due to strong winds. Considering safety, it was understandable, so I look forward to trying it next time.

This trip became my most enjoyable memory during my stay in Hawaii. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

Thank you so much to the captain and guide!

初めてのハワイ旅行、友人と参加しました。朝早いのは少し大変でしたが、早起きして絶対損はありません！！
まずはじめに立ち寄ったレナーズのマラサダは早朝にも関わらず行列ができていたので人気店なのはすぐにわかりました。味はもちろんおいしかったです。

港に着くまでのバスの中で野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると聞いたので少し不安になりましが・・・。

港到着後船に乗り込み、旅の安全を願ってうたとプルメイヤの花を海へ流すというロマンチックな体験もできました。約３０分でイルカ先生たちのいる場所へ。（酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方がいいです。）

船長さん、ガイドさんは水面を見ているだけでイルカのいる場所がわかるのにはびっくりしました。

スポットを決めいざ海へ！！海はもちろん綺麗です！（ハワイ滞在中の行った海で一番！！）ガイドさんの合図で海底を覗くとたくさんのイルカ先生たちに会うことができました。シュノーケルを楽しんでいるとイルカ先生が海面に向かって泳いでいるのを発見したのですぐに海面で待っているとドルフィンジャンプをまじかで見ることができ、興奮していると、イルカ先生だけではなくウミガメ先生を海面から顔を出してくれ触ってしまうのではと、心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

別の場所へ移動をし、綺麗な熱帯魚とウミガメ先生とシュノーケルができ、たくさんの写真を思い出に残すことができました。

シュノーケルが終わり、船で食べたスナック・チーズバーガー・ジュースは格別の味でした。港に帰る間はガイドさんたちのウクレレの演奏・生歌・フラダンスを教えていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。

一つ残念だったことは、カヤック・スタンドアは風が強くてできなかったことです。安全面を考えたら仕方のないことですので、次回の楽しみにします。

今回ハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。次にハワイに行くときも必ず参加します。

船長さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I hadn't made any specific plans, so I signed up for this tour. In the morning, we had malasadas for breakfast. I was very satisfied to be able to go to a store that was difficult to reach on foot. After boarding the boat, we all offered a prayer for Hawaii, and my spirits were lifted. I instantly felt the Hawaiian vibe. After that, we encountered dolphins and turtles one after another. It was amazing to not only see them but also to snorkel with them; it felt like a double treat. My companions also seemed very happy. I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding, which made me feel even more liberated. The cheeseburgers on the boat were homemade and very satisfying. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was smiling and having fun. I was very pleased with the staff's brightness and the way they incorporated music at key moments, which gradually got us more engaged despite our initial shyness. I highly recommend this tour!

初めてのハワイ旅行。漠然とやりたいことは、イメージしてましたが具体的には決めいなかった所、このツアーに申し込みました。朝は、マラサダで朝食。歩いてはいきづらい距離の店舗にいけて大満足。また、船に乗船後、まずはハワイの祈りを全員でささげ気持ちは高ぶるばかり。一気にハワイ気分に。その後、ドルフィン・タートルと立て続けに遭遇。見るだけではなく、一緒にシュノーケリングできるなんて、二度おいしいってかんじでした。同行者も幸せそうでしたよ。また、体験してみたかったスタンダップパドルにも挑戦。新しいことをしたことで更に開放的にななりましたよ。船上でのチーズバーガーも手作り感満載で満足です。最後は、全員でフラダンス。気持ちも盛り上がって、みんな笑顔で楽しかったです。スタッフの皆さんの明るさと要所要所に音楽をいれてくれて、遠慮がちな私たちもじょじょに盛り上がってくる演出に大満足です。オススメのツアーですよ。

Recently, my family of three participated in this experience. My daughter is six years old and in her last year of kindergarten.

I was worried about whether my daughter would be able to swim with the dolphins, but the Hawaiian staff member stayed by her side the whole time and helped her swim with the dolphins. My worries disappeared, and we were able to participate with peace of mind. I hope my comment can help those who are considering participating with their children.

From the moment we saw the dolphins, our excitement skyrocketed! Many dolphins swam back and forth, and they came so close to us. It was incredibly healing. It was the best experience. I highly recommend it!

先日、家族３人で参加させていただきました。
娘は６歳で幼稚園の年長です。

娘がイルカと泳げるのか不安でしたが、ハワイアンスタッフの御兄さんが付きっきりで一緒に泳いでくださり、娘もイルカと泳ぐことができました。不安も吹き飛び、安心して参加することができました。子供との参加を迷ってる方のお役にたてればと思いコメントしました。


イルカを見た瞬間からテンションアップ↑↑
沢山のイルカが何度も往復してくれて、すごく近くで泳いでくれました。とても癒されました。最高です。お勧めです♪

Continuing from last year, I traveled to Hawaii again this year. My friend and I agreed to join this tour once more.

The reason is that my friend had experienced seasickness during last year's trip and is participating again for a revenge tour. I didn't have that issue, but the content was so appealing that I definitely wanted to join again.

I'm really glad I participated again! I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close while snorkeling, and the excitement is beyond words. It's a moment that completely blows away the stress of Japanese society (laughs). This time, I was able to swim even closer to the dolphins than last year. The staff's consideration to ensure we didn't miss seeing the dolphins was also evident.

We changed locations and headed to an area with tropical fish. We received bread to take with us into the sea. When we threw the bread, an incredible number of tropical fish gathered around us. It was another amazing experience. There were also plenty of activities like kayaking.

There were families with children on the same tour. The staff stayed close to the children in the water, and I happened to be floating nearby, so I could see that they were well taken care of, allowing both the kids to enjoy themselves and the parents to feel at ease.

Overall, I was very satisfied to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish up close, and it was a great tour where the staff's consideration for this experience was clear.

I want to participate again!

昨年に引き続き今年もハワイへの旅行。今年もこのツアーに参加しようと、一緒に行った友人とは合致の意見でした(^^)

とゆうのも実は、友人は昨年参加した際船酔いになってしまい今回はリベンジの参加。私はそうではなかったですが、また是非参加したいと思える内容であったからです。

やはり、また参加して良かった！！
シュノーケリングであんなに間近にイルカや海亀を見ることができて、あの感動は言葉では伝えきれません。
日本のストレス社会を一気に吹き飛ばせる瞬間です(笑)
イルカは昨年以上に間近で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私達がイルカ達を見逃さないよう、スタッフの方の配慮も伝わってきます。
ポイントを変えて、今度は熱帯魚のいるエリアへ。パンを貰えるのでそれを手に海へ。パンを撒くとものすごい量の熱帯魚が寄ってきます。これまた感激です。
カヤックなどの遊びも充実してます。

同じツアーに子供連れの方も参加してました。海の中でもスタッフの方が子供に付いていて、たまたま私はその近くを浮かんでいたのですが、子供への配慮もきちんとされているので子供も楽しめるし親も安心ですね。

とにかく満足にイルカ、亀、熱帯魚を間近で見ることができて、またそうできるようにスタッフの方の配慮が伝わってくる良いツアーです。

また参加したいです。

I didn't encounter any dolphins, but there's a guarantee, so it's good.

イルカには遭遇しなかつたけどギャランティが有るのでGOOD

I participated because I really wanted to swim with wild dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.

On the day of the event, we departed in a car with a license plate that said "IRUKA" to pick us up at the hotel. We stopped for a light breakfast at the famous Leonard's for malasadas. It was delicious!

After arriving at Waianae Harbor, we finally got to go study with the dolphins after a morning meeting (prayer to the gods)! The dolphins greeted us with great excitement, and soon a turtle also made an appearance!

Although I couldn't swim up close with the dolphins, I was thrilled to encounter so many dolphin families! Additionally, I challenged myself to kayak with my mother! We had a wonderful time.

The handmade hamburgers for lunch were also very tasty.

I purchased a DVD for participants, and it was beautifully done, as expected from a professional cameraman. The music was relaxing Hawaiian music, making me feel like I was enjoying a gentle breeze on a Hawaiian beach. The price of the DVD was a bit high.

I came with my mother this time, but next time, I want to come again with my husband, who stayed home for work!

野生のイルカ、カメ、熱帯魚達と是非とも泳ぎたく参加しました。

当日は、ホテルまで迎えの車（IRUKAと書かれたナバープレート付き）で出発。　
途中で有名なレナーズのマラサダで軽い朝食。おいしかった！

ワイアナエハーバーへ到着後、朝礼(神様へのお祈り)他でいよいよ待望のイルカ先生との勉強にGO!
イルカさんたちが、大勢でのお迎えで大興奮、ついでに早々とカメさんもおでまし！

間近で、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことは出来ませんでしたが、
とても沢山のイルカさん家族とも遭遇でき感激しました！！　
また、アクティビィーはカヤックに母と挑戦！　楽しい時間が過ごせました。

お昼の手作りのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

参加者用のDVDを購入しましたが、さすがに本職のカメラマンの映像で綺麗にできてました。　音楽もユッタリとしたハワイ音楽でハワイの浜辺でユッタリとしたそよ風を浴びているような心地よい気分になります。
DVDの値段は少し高いかな。

今回は母とでしたが、次回は仕事で留守番の主人と、また来たいと思います！！

I was attracted to the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish, along with the included activities, meals, and transportation, so I signed up.

The staff members were experienced and familiar with their roles, which made me feel secure participating.

I was very pleased with their consideration to ensure everyone had a good time, and it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii☆

On the day of the event, I encountered dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.

Although I wasn't able to swim closely with the dolphins, I did encounter many of them!!

It was a bit disappointing that the activity I was looking forward to was canceled due to the rising waves.

I purchased the DVD for participants, but the slideshow video didn't have any music (it's unclear whether it couldn't play or if it wasn't included), which was a bit disappointing. Honestly, the price for the DVD felt high considering its quality.

The malasadas and hamburgers were delicious. Overall, I had a great experience that brought smiles, so I would rate it positively!

野生のイルカ、カメ、熱帯魚と泳げ、アクテイビティや食事、送迎が
ついている事が魅力で、申し込みました。

スタッフの方達は、ベテランで対応も慣れている為、
安心して参加することができます。

楽しんでもらえる様にという配慮がとても嬉しかったし、
良いハワイの思い出になりました☆

当日は、イルカ、カメ、熱帯魚に遭遇。

間近で、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、
とても沢山のイルカに遭遇できました！！　

少し、波が高くなってきた為楽しみにしていたアクティビティが
なくなったことは残念でした。

参加者用のDVDを購入しましたが、スライドショーの映像に
音楽が流れず（再生できないのか、入っていないのかは謎）
少しがっかりしました。DVDは正直、クオリティとしての値段は高いかな。

食事のマラサダとハンバーガー美味しかったです。
自然と笑顔になれる良い体験が出来たので、総合的には◯です！

This was one of the tours I was looking forward to on our honeymoon in Hawaii, where we could swim with dolphins. I had experienced seasickness on other tours, so this time I took motion sickness medication purchased locally. The boat was large, and on the day we participated, there were about 25 people, but only 2 or 3 seemed to be feeling sick. We managed to avoid seasickness.

Jumping into the water for snorkeling from the boat for the first time was thrilling because the ocean was very deep, but it was so clear that we could see all the way to the bottom. Snorkeling among a pod of wild dolphins was incredibly moving. We were also fortunate to encounter turtles and seals. Additionally, there was a fun atmosphere with opportunities to feed fish from the boat and live ukulele performances. The guide really engaged with us, making it more memorable than any other tour.

For lunch, the homemade hamburgers were very delicious. They took photos of our snorkeling activities, which we could buy at the end. We didn’t purchase any, but many other guests did. I definitely want to recommend this to friends if they have a chance to come to Hawaii. Of course, if we have the opportunity to come again, we will definitely repeat this experience.

今回新婚旅行で初めてのハワイでイルカと一緒に泳げると言う事で楽しみにしていたツアーの一つでした。
他のツアーでは船酔いを経験したので、今回は現地購入した酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船はおっきくて参加した日には25人くらいでしたが酔っていた人は2,3人くらいでした。私達は船酔いにならずにすみました。
初めての船からの飛び込んでのシューノーケリングは海がとっても深くてドキドキしたけれど、とっても透き通ってたので海の底まではっきりと見ることができました。野生のイルカの群れの中でのシュノーケリングはとても感動しました。イルカだけではなくカメやアザラシにも出会うことができて良かったです。その他には船の上から魚に餌にあげたりウクレレの生演奏があったりととっても楽しい雰囲気でした。案内をしてくれたお姉さんが話をもりあげてくれて他のどのツアーよりも印象に残りました。

お昼は手作りのハンバーガーがとてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケリング最中の行動をカメラで写真をとってくれていて最後に買えるようでした。私達は買いませんでしたが多くのお客さんが、購入されていました。
友達にもハワイにくるチャンスがあったら是非進めたいと思います。もちろんまたくる機会があれば私達も、リピート確実です。

The pickup bus for the transfer is clearly marked with "Dolphin University," making it easy to find.
I had pre-ordered the breakfast malasadas, and the staff picked them up for us to enjoy on the boat.
We arrived at Waianae Harbor in about an hour from Waikiki!
During the ride, the bus provided explanations about dolphins, safety instructions for the boat, and also guided us through sightseeing spots.
There was no time to sleep on the bus; it seemed like they wanted us to be alert so we could swim as soon as we arrived.

After arriving at the harbor, we switched to the Island Princess and set off!

Once on board, we immediately sang a chant for safety and offered fresh flowers to the sea, performing an 'ehomai' ceremony.

Then, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located.
We were very lucky on the day we participated, as we quickly encountered a dolphin known as "Spinner Dolphin," who showed us many spins and jumps.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even though it was June, it was a good decision to rent one since the wind was cold after getting out of the water. Even if there’s no wind on land, it can be windy on the water, so I recommend it for those who are sensitive to cold.
My husband is not a strong swimmer, but they took good care of him. He could hold onto a rope and be pulled along.

There were also young children in early elementary school participating.

After that, we moved to another location.
We swam with Professor Turtle and tropical fish.
At that time, they provided bread as fish food, and many fish gathered around when we fed them. It was really fun.

You can also try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking! Participation is not mandatory.
Stand-up paddleboarding seems to require good balance, so those who struggle with balance might find it difficult.

The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious. If you don’t like cheese, you can request it without cheese in advance.
There were also drinks like water and warm tea available, along with some snacks.

After lunch, we had hula dancing. At first, I felt a bit shy, but by the end, I was dancing happily and energetically.
(My husband was dancing enthusiastically from the start.)

There were about two people who got seasick, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it’s advisable to take medication beforehand.
In case you feel like you might vomit on the boat, they provide a bucket called the "Aloha Bucket."
(It seems that vomiting in the restroom can cause clogs and lead to bigger problems later…)

送迎のピックアップバスはイルカ大学って書いてあるから、わかりやすいです。
朝食のマラサダは事前に注文済で、スタッフが取りに行って、船の上で食べました。
ワイキキから１時間程でワイアナエハーバーへ到着！！
その間バスの中はイルカの説明や船の上の注意事項の他に、観光名所も案内してくれました。
バスの中は寝る暇はありません。着いたらすぐ泳げるように頭を起こしてくれているみたいです。

港に到着後、アイランドプリンセス号に乗り換えて、出発！！

乗船後、さっそく安全を祈りチャントを歌い生花を海に捧げ、エホマイを行います。

そして、イルカのいるポイントまで移動。
私たちが参加した日はすごくラッキーで、すぐにイルカ先生こと「スピナードルフィン」と遭遇。スピンをしてジャンプをたくさん見せてくれました。
１０ドルでウェットスーツをレンタルできます。６月だけど、海から上がると風が冷たいので借りて正解でした。陸上が風が吹いてなくても、海上は吹いてたりするので寒がりの方にはお勧めです。
私の夫は泳ぐのが苦手なのですが、ちゃんと配慮して頂きました。ロープにつかまっていれば引っ張って行ってもらえます。

小学校低学年のお子さんも参加していました。

その後、更に場所に移動。
カメ教授とトロピカルフィッシュとも一緒に泳ぎました。
その時に餌となるパンをくれます。餌付けするとたくさんの魚が寄ってきます。すごく面白いです。

スタンドアップ・パドルとシーカヤックも体験できます！強制ではないです。
スタンドアップ・パドルはバランス感覚が重要のようで、苦手な人は苦手かも…。

お昼ごはんのチーズバーガーもおいしかったです。チーズ苦手な人は事前に言えば、チーズなしにしてもらえます。
飲み物は水や温かいお茶もありました。スナックも出ました。

昼食後はフラダンスです。最初は恥ずかしいとも思いましたが、最後の方はノリノリに楽しく踊れました。
（私の旦那は最初からノリノリで踊ってました）

船酔いになっていた方も２人位いたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要です。事前に飲まれていく事をお勧めします。
万が一、船上で吐きたくなったら「アロハバケツ」と呼ばれるバケツを貸してくれます。
（トイレで吐かれると詰まったりして、後々大変なようです…）

I participated with a friend. I was really looking forward to it before joining, and it exceeded my expectations on the day. I was able to see many wild dolphins for the first time, and I also got to swim alongside sea turtles right in front of me. Even for those who are not good at swimming, the staff are there to watch over you, so it's very reassuring! This is an activity that you can't experience in Japan, and both the wild dolphins and the staff were very friendly, making it a highly satisfying experience. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.

友人と参加させて頂きました。
参加前からとても楽しみにしており、当日参加してみて期待以上でした。
初めて野生のイルカ先生をたくさん見る事も出来ましたしウミガメも目の前で見ながら一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。泳ぎが得意でない方でもスタッフの方が見守って下さるので安心です！！
日本では体験出来ないアクティビティで野生のイルカ先生はもちろんスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで大満足の体験となりました。
ハワイにまた行く機会があれば絶対参加したいと思います。

Depending on the day, you might encounter dolphins right after setting sail, but on the day I participated, it seemed the wild dolphins were in a different spot, and we had a hard time finding them. However, the staff patiently coordinated and even changed the activity schedule to take us to a location where the dolphin pod was, and in the end, we were able to swim with over 30 dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute!

Since they are wild dolphins, you never know when you'll encounter them, but it is truly moving when you get to swim with them. On the way to see the dolphins, we also encountered wild turtles, and just sitting at the front of the boat allowed us to enjoy the scenery! The staff were cheerful and really uplifting.

After swimming with the dolphins, it was cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit. There were also small girls participating, and the staff provided excellent support, so they had a great time! Of course, we were able to observe the dolphins as well. It's an emotional experience, so I highly recommend it for families and couples!

日によっては出航してすぐにイルカに遭遇できる時もあるようですが、私が参加した日は野生のイルカが普段と違うポイントにいたようでなかなか出会うことができませんでした。
でも、スタッフの方が根気強く連携を取り、アクティビティーの予定を変えてまでイルカの群れがいるポイントまで連れていって下さり、最終的には３０匹以上のイルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
赤ちゃんのイルカもいてとってもかわいかったです♪

野生のイルカなのでどのタイミングで出会えるか分かりませんが、一緒に泳げた時は本当に感動的です。
イルカに会いに行く途中でも野生のカメに遭遇したり、船の先頭で座っているだけでも景色を楽しむことができました！スタッフのみなさんも明るくてとっても元気がでます♪

海でイルカと泳いだ後は寒かったので、水着の上からはおれるものを持参するのがよいと思います。
小さな女の子も参加されていましたが、スタッフが手厚くサポートしていたのですごく楽しめていました！
もちろんイルカも観察できていましたよ♪
感動的な体験ができるので、ご家族にもカップルにもお勧めです☆

We participated as a family of four, including our 5-year-old and 9-year-old sons. During our dolphin watching tour in Guam, we felt somewhat unsatisfied just watching dolphins from the boat. That's why we were really looking forward to "swimming with the dolphins" this time. Our strong sons, who mastered snorkeling at the age of four and have often played with fish in overseas waters, dove into the sea without any hesitation, despite the staff's concerns! On this day, we couldn't get close to the dolphins, and we desperately chased them around at the staff's signals. It was quite challenging... However, when we saw the dolphins swimming right beneath us, we were moved. Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, whether they come close enough to touch is a matter of luck. We wished we could have seen them up close and heard their cries, but we look forward to next time. We also encountered about four turtles. For those with small children, you can enjoy watching dolphins from the boat, but opportunities to swim with them are rare. If you're considering having your child try snorkeling, I recommend buying a MY mask and practicing in the bath (that's how our kids mastered its use) to prepare for the real experience. It should be a great experience!

5歳＆9歳の息子を含む家族4人で参加しました。グアムのイルカウォッチングツアー参加の際は、ただ船の上からイルカをみるだけで何となく物足りなさを感じていました。それだけに、今回は『イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!』と楽しみにしていました。4歳からシュノーケルをマスターし、度々海外の海で魚と戯れてきたスイミングにも通うたくましい息子達は、スタッフの心配をよそに難なく海へダイブ!!この日はなかなかイルカに近づけず、スタッフの合図であっちこっち必死にイルカを追いかけました。それがなかなかハードで・・・。でも、イルカが自分達の真下を泳ぐ姿を目にした時は感動しました。野生のイルカが相手なだけに、手が届きそうな距離まで近づいてきてくれるかは運次第ですね。もっと近くで見たかった＆泣き声を聞きたかったなどありますが、次回へ期待します。カメも4匹程遭遇しました。小さなお子様連れの方、船上からでもイルカの姿を見て楽しむ事が出来ますが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐチャンスはそうありません。もし、我が子にシュノーケルに挑戦させたいとお考えでしたら、MYマスクを購入してお風呂で特訓(我が家の子供達はこうして使い方をマスターしました)して本番に備えてみて下さい。良い体験が出来るはずです!

I was energized by meeting the dolphin teacher! I could really feel the staff's love for the dolphins and their passion for Dolphin University.

However, I was a bit put off by the final DVD sales... Also, the quality of the images attached to the email after returning home was disappointing, especially since I was satisfied with the content.

イルカ先生に会えて元気をもらいました♪
スタッフの方のイルカに対する愛情とイルカ大学に対する情熱をひしひしと感じました。

ただ、最後のＤＶＤの販売はちょっと引きました・・・。
そして、帰国後のメールに添付してもらっていた画像の粗さ･･･内容は満足だっただけに残念です。

We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.

The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.

All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.

There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊

早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。

スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです＾＾

I have visited Hawaii before, but I had never participated in an activity swimming with wild dolphins.

This time, I chose this highly-rated option because I was traveling with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

On this day, we were able to see many dolphins for a long time, and a sea turtle swam right by us. My friends and I were all extremely excited!!

Having light snacks included was also nice. We were able to create memories that were worth more than the price.

I definitely recommend it.

今までにもハワイを訪れたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐアクティビティーには参加した事がありませんでした。

今回初ハワイの友人を連れての旅行なので、評判の良いこちらを選びました。

この日はたくさんのイルカ達に、しかも長い時間逢うことが出来、海亀もすぐ近くを泳いでいってくれました。
私も友人たちも皆大興奮！！

軽食つきなのもいいですね。
お値段以上の想い出を貰うことが出来ました。

間違いなくオススメです。

From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!

Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.

On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!

　　　
　3/17~3/21まで家族でHAWAIIに行きました。
　メインイベントとしてイルカと泳ぐツア−を予約！

　当日お天気はあまり良くなかったのに、しっかりイルカと
　泳げたし（手の届くほど近くといいうワケではなかったけ　　れど…）エイも近くで見れたし、何よりカメラマンさんが
　一生縣命イルカの側に連れて行ってくれようとしてくれて
　有難かったです。

　おまけに、日本時間と現地時間を間違えて参加日を一日間違　えてたにも関わらず、快く参加させてもらえ
　ほんと　良いツア−でした！

　　

　

I visited the prestigious Dolphin University. It was truly amazing to swim right next to the dolphins, and I could even hear their calls, like "kyu."

However, be careful about the timing, as it can get quite cold. We went during Golden Week, but I didn't expect it to be this chilly. They do provide wetsuits for rent, but it costs an additional $10. Even with the wetsuit, it was still cold... The kids ended up going back to the boat because it was too cold for them.

However, the representatives and local staff were very friendly and attentive, so I highly recommend it!

名門イルカ大学に行ってきました。本当にイルカのそばで泳ぐことができ、しかも「キュー」なんているかの鳴き声まで聞こえちゃう、とても最高でした。

しかし、時期を考えないと結構寒いのでご注意を。私達はＧＷに行きましたが、まさかこんなに寒いとは。ウエットスーツを貸し出してくれますが、別料金で１０＄かかります。
ウェット着ても寒いですが・・・
子供達はあまりにもの寒さに途中で船に上がってしまいました。

しかし代表の方をはじめ、ローカルスタッフもとても気さく、かつ面倒見も良いのでオススメですよ！

It became a very precious memory!

とても貴重な思い出になりました♪

I set out to find the dolphins, riding a ship south from the port on the West Coast. It took a while to spot them, but I finally discovered their dorsal fins bobbing up and down in the distance. Watching their movements and timing my drop into the water, I was determined not to give up until I saw the dolphins, even as the navigator urged us to hurry! When the signal came, I put my face in the water and looked around, but I couldn't see them... However, I could clearly hear their calls! They would definitely come! I shouted in my heart, "We're here!" and continued to chase the pod. When I looked into the water again at the navigator's signal... there they were!! Dozens of them swimming right below me! Overwhelmed with joy, tears filled my goggles. There was no time to cry; I had to swim with them! As I kicked and searched desperately, they came back right next to me! And there were even more dolphins than before!! My mind went blank, and I desperately reached out to get closer. The dolphins continued to swim beneath us, and even when we were on the ship, they stayed behind us. I wondered if our feelings had reached them... "A huge success!!!" I high-fived with the navigator! We then headed a bit north to the snorkeling point. There, deep in the ocean, the sea turtle principal quietly guarded everything in the sea. Colorful little fish swam around, and when I threw them some bread, they bravely approached to eat. I felt like I had forgotten everything that had happened and had become one with the ocean. After that, everyone enjoyed paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling as the lessons came to an end. On the way back to the port, we filled our stomachs with handmade cheeseburgers (they were really delicious!), relaxed to the crew's live ukulele performance, and danced to the Nanakuri Ondo, feeling the rhythm... Everything was so much fun, and I was extremely satisfied!!!! Swimming was honestly tough, but I decided in my heart that I would definitely go see the dolphins again. It was an activity that made me sweat and truly enjoy! I highly recommend it!!!

イルカ先生達を探して、西海岸の港からShipに乗ってしばらく南下。なかなか巡り会えずでしたが、遠くの方でチラリチラリと浮き沈みする、先生達の背びれを発見。イルカ先生たちの動きと、dropするタイミングを見ていざ海へ!ﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの『早く早く~!!』という声に若干焦りながらも、イルカ先生達を見るまでは絶対に諦めない!と必死に着いていきました。合図と共に顔を水につけ辺りを見回したけど、姿が見えない･･･。でも、イルカ先生達の鳴き声がはっきりと聞こえる!絶対に来てくれる!『私たちはココに居るよ!』と強く心で叫び、群れを追い続けること暫く。。再びﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの合図で海の中を覗くと・・いた!!何十頭も真下を泳いでるじゃないの！あまりの嬉しさに、ｺﾞｰｸﾞﾙの中で涙が溢れてきた。泣いてる場合じゃない、もっと一緒に泳がなきゃ!と一生懸命水を蹴り探していると、、、手が届きそうなくらいの真横に戻ってきた!!しかも、さっきよりもたくさんのイルカ先生たちが!!頭が真っ白になって、とにかく必死に近付こうと手を伸ばしてた。。その後もイルカ先生たちは私達の下を泳いだり、Shipにあがっている時も後ろに居てくれた。私達の想いが伝わったのかな･･･と。『大成功~っ!!!』とﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰとﾊｲﾀｯﾁ!!! 少し北上してｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞﾎﾟｲﾝﾄへ。そこには海底深くに海ガメ校長がひっそりと居て海の全てを守っているかのようだった。周りには小さな色鮮やかな魚たちが泳ぎ、パンをあげると、食べようと頑張って近付いてくる。。今までの出来事で全てを忘れ、海と一つになれたような気がした。その後も、パドボやカヤック、シュノーケリングと皆それぞれが楽しみ授業も終盤。港に戻るShipでは、手作りチーズバーガーでお腹を満たし（ほんとに美味しかった！）、クルーのウクレレ生演奏で心を癒し、ナナクリ音頭を踊ってノリノリ･･･。とにかく全てが楽しくて、とっっっっても満足!!!!泳ぐのは正直大変だったけど、またイルカ先生達に必ず会いに行こう、と心に決めたのでした。心から汗をかき、心から楽しめたアクティビティでした！オススメです！！！

It depends on the luck of the day, but this time we couldn't get close to the dolphins very much. However, the staff really wanted us to meet the dolphins since we had come all the way, and they tried several times, which resulted in us encountering the dolphins. On the way back to the shore, a baby dolphin came close and spun right in front of us, which got the kids very excited.

その日の運にもよりますが、今回はなかなかイルカに近づけませんでした。しかし、スタッフの方たちがせっかくきてもらっているからなんとしてもイルカにあってほしいと何度もトライしてくれた結果、イルカに遭遇できました。岸に帰る途中は、子供イルカが寄ってきて、目の前でスピンをするなど非常に子供たちは興奮していました。

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).

I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!

Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!

This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!

家族５名（大人２・子供３）で参加しました。

小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました！！

船上でのダンス、美味しいチーズバーガー、フラダンスのレッスン・・・とにかく大満足のツアーです！！

我が家のHAWAII旅行１番の思い出になりました！！

I visited Hawaii for the first time and participated in what is considered a classic dolphin tour, and I was surprised by how much entertainment the tour offered. The staff were all very cheerful, fun, and kind. I was moved when they explained that the most important thing is to "have fun!!"

For someone like me, who usually works busy days in Tokyo, it felt like my rigid mindset was being loosened.

I was very excited to swim with the dolphins, and I really appreciated the bright and energetic responses from the staff. I would love to participate again.

初めてハワイに訪れ、定番と思われるイルカツアーに参加したのですが、想像以上にエンターテイメント性溢れるツアー内容に驚きました。
スタッフの皆さんとても明るく楽しく親切でした。
一番大事なのは「楽し~！！」ってことだと説明されて、ホロッときました。
普段は東京で日々忙しく働く自分には、凝り固まった気持ちがほぐれるような感覚でした。

イルカと泳げた瞬間もとても興奮したのですが、スタッフの皆さんの明るく元気な対応にとても好感が持てました。
また参加したいと思いました。

Following the Haleakalā Mountain star and sunrise trek on Maui, I participated in an active tour at sea, a wild dolphin and sea turtle cruise with Dolphin University. Under a cloudy sky, we boarded the shuttle bus early in the morning. The tour group consisted of families spanning three generations, and one participant, Mr. I, mentioned he was joining for the third consecutive day.

As we headed to our destination, we received explanations from Ms. Y, who had a vibe reminiscent of Miwa from Dream Come True. By the time we arrived at the dock, the sky had cleared, and we enjoyed a light breakfast of warm malasada before boarding the boat, where everyone prayed for the safety of our voyage with the crew.

As we approached the secret spot of Dolphin University, the crew guided us to shallow waters, bringing along over 100 wild dolphins they had spotted. Securing our buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, we donned our snorkels and masks and jumped into the sea. I jumped in ahead of my wife, intending to reassure her, but I got distracted by the crew's calls to "look down!" and forgot about her as I peered into the water. The dolphins swam around us, brushing against our bodies through the wetsuits. Sharing the ocean with wild dolphins was an emotional experience. My wife was completely absorbed in the underwater world with our daughter.

Any fear vanished in the excitement of encountering the dolphins. We expressed our gratitude to the dolphins that played with us for a while before heading to the sea turtle spot. There, we were fortunate to encounter more than five sea turtles. Mr. I, who was skin diving, went down to the ocean floor, getting really close to the turtles. Additionally, we fed the fish underwater, and my wife was having so much fun that we worried she wouldn’t return to the boat. Afterward, everyone enjoyed various marine sports, and the crew's attentiveness ensured a safe experience for everyone, from children to seniors! After finishing our cheeseburger lunch on the boat, we began our journey back. We wrapped up with ukulele performances and commemorative photos before passing the baton to those starting their day slowly.

The tour with the prestigious Dolphin University was a great success, fitting for our 32nd wedding anniversary, as evidenced by the smiles of my wife and daughter! I definitely want my dolphin-loving younger daughter, who couldn’t join us due to work commitments, to experience the wild dolphins and sea turtle snorkeling cruise!

マウイ島でのハレアカラ山のスター＆サンライズトレックに引き続き、海でのアクティブなツアーとしてイルカ大学の野生のイルカ、海亀クルーズに参加です。曇り空の中、早朝から迎えのバスに乗り込みます。ツアーの方々は若い方から３代に見受けられる家族連れまでで、一緒に乗り込んだI
さんはなんと３日連続参加とのことです。
ドリカムの美和さん調のＹさんの説明を受けながら
目的地に向かいます。船着き場に着くころには晴天の空が広がり、温かなマサラダで軽い朝食を頂き、船に乗り込みクルーと一緒に全員で航海？の安全をお祈りします。
イルカ大学丸秘のスポットに近づくころにはクルーの目が探した１００頭以上の野生のイルカを引き連れて浅瀬に誘導します。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットで浮力を確保し
スノーケル＆水中眼鏡を装着し、足から海に飛び降ります。
妻の先に飛び降り、安心させる筈がクルーの下を見て！下を見て！という声に妻を忘れて海を覗き込みます。イルカの群れが泳ぎ回り、スエットスーツ越しに身体に当たってきます。野生のイルカと同じ海中を共有する体験は感動的です。妻は娘と一緒に海の中を我を忘れてのぞきこんでいます。
恐怖感はイルカとの遭遇の感動で消え去ったようです。
ツアーの方々の興奮する姿にも驚くことなく暫く一緒に遊んでくれたイルカに感謝しながら次は海亀スポットに向かいます。ここでも運良く５匹以上の海亀に遭遇することが出来ました。スキンダイビングのIさんは海の底まで潜り、海亀のホントの近寄っています。また、海中の魚達への餌やりもあり、いつまでたっても船に戻って来ずに心配するくらいに楽しんでいたのが妻です。その後は各自マリンスポーツを楽しみ、子供からシニアまで安心して体験出来るのはクルーの気配り・目配りがあるからですね！船上でのチーズバーガーランチを終え帰路に付きます。ウクレレの演奏や記念撮影を終えて、ゆっくりスタートの方々にバトンタッチです。
３２年目の結婚記念日にふさわしい名門イルカ大学のツアーは大成功なのは妻と娘の笑顔が証明しています♪
仕事の都合で旅行に来れなかったイルカ大好きな次女にも
必ず体験させてあげたい野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズでした！

This was my fifth dolphin tour in Hawaii, but it was my first time enrolling in Dolphin University. Swimming with the dolphin instructors is truly enjoyable! No matter how many times I experience it, I am always moved! Fortunately, my family has great chemistry with the dolphin instructors, and we can always swim with large pods. Dolphin University, as expected from a prestigious institution, offers outstanding service! Starting with morning malasadas, we had a lot of fun with dolphins, honu (sea turtles), marine sports like paddleboarding and kayaking, and hamburgers on the boat—this was the most fun I've ever had! I plan to re-enroll in the prestigious Dolphin University next time! Thank you for the wonderful time. P.S. I received the group photo via email!

ハワイでのイルカツアーは今回で５度目ですが、イルカ大学に入学するのは初めてでした。
でも、イルカ先生たちと泳ぐのはホントに楽しい♪
何度体験しても感動できます！
幸い、私達家族はイルカ先生と相性が良く、毎回必ず大きな群れと一緒に泳ぐことができます。
イルカ大学さんは、さすが名門だけあってサービス満点！
朝のマラサダから始まって、イルカ、ホヌ（ウミガメ）、マリンスポーツのパドルボート・カヤック、船上でのハンバーガーなど盛りだくさんで今までで一番楽しかったです♪
次回もまた名門イルカ大学に再入学するつもりです！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
P.S集合写真のメール届きましたよ(*^-^*)

I had a lot of anxiety on my first overseas trip, but with Yuriko-sensei, a Japanese teacher at Dolphin University, I was able to confidently enter the water and swim, even though it was my first experience.

As soon as we got on the boat, we spotted dolphins swimming! After learning about the prayer ceremony and the rules, we quickly entered the sea. It was a bit cold in mid-March, so I rented a wetsuit for $10. It felt more like swimming above where the dolphins were rather than swimming with them. But it was incredibly exciting! We also swam in another spot where there were lots of small fish close enough to touch with our hands, and we did activities like kayaking.

The hula dance we all did at the end was the best memory of my time in Hawaii. I highly recommend you go!

初めての海外旅行で不安もたくさんありましたが、イルカ大学は日本人のゆりこ先生がいるので、初めての経験でも安心して海に入って泳ぐことができました。
船に乗ってすぐにイルカが泳いでいるのを発見！お祈りの儀式やルールを教えて頂いたら早々に海に入りました。３月中旬で若干寒かったので、10ドルでウェットスーツ(つなぎ)を借りました。イルカと泳ぐというよりは、イルカが泳いでいるところの上を泳いでいるという感じでした。でもかなり興奮します！別の場所(小さな魚が手で触れるほど近いとろこにたくさんいる所)で泳いだり、カヤックなどをしたりしました。最後に参加者のみんなで踊ったフラダンスはハワイでの最高の思い出です。是非行ってみてください！

This is my fourth time participating. This time I joined alone. No matter how many times I participate, this tour is the best. The staff's service is excellent, and I can enjoy myself throughout. Swimming with wild dolphins, seeing sea turtles, eating hamburgers, and dancing the hula. It's very luxurious.

4回目の参加です。今回は1人で参加しました。何度参加してもこのツアーは最高です。スタッフの方の対応がとてもよく、終始楽しむことができます。野生のイルカと泳ぎ、海ガメを見て、ハンバーガー食べてフラダンスを踊る。とても贅沢です。
