All Reviews for Waianae Dolphin Coast

This trip was the most fun I've ever had. There were dolphins right under the boat, and I was so excited because they were close enough that I felt like I could reach out and touch them. The staff were all very energetic and friendly, which was great. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. However, since you spend a long time on the boat, I think it's a good idea for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. There were a few people who got sick during our trip as well.

今回の旅で一番楽しかった。
船の真下にイルカがいて、足を垂らしていたら届いてしまうのではという近さで大興奮です。
スタッフの方も皆テンション高くフレンドリーで良かったです。
また、ハワイに行くときはぜひ参加したいです。
ただ、長時間船に乗っているので船酔いする方は酔い止め薬を服用してたほうがいいと思います。私達のときにも酔っている方が何人かいました。

The day before, I participated in an activity with another company and it was a disappointment, so I thought about canceling. However... it was way beyond my expectations and absolutely amazing!!

I had to wait 30 minutes because they didn't show up at the meeting time (laughs), but the guide was really nice and it was a lot of fun. The captain and all the staff were also entertaining. They danced on the boat, and the hamburgers were delicious, plus we had pineapple and taro!? We got to see sea turtles and dolphins, which was fantastic, and the half-day went by in no time. After getting back on land, I learned hula from a hula teacher, which was a great experience.

This is definitely worth participating in!!!

前日にほかの会社のアクティビティーに参加してはずれだったので、前日にキャンセルしようかと思いましたが。。。
全然、期待以上に最高でした！！

朝待ち合わせ時間にこなくて30分待たされましたが（笑）
ガイドさんも、めっちゃいい人で楽しかったし
船の船長さんはじめスタッフのかたもみんな面白かったです。
船の上でダンスしてくれて、ハンバーガーはおいしくて
パイナップルとかタロイモ！？もでました。
ウミガメもイルカもみれて最高なうえ
半日あっという間でした。
陸に上がってからは、フラの先生にフラを教えてもらって
いい経験になりました。
これは、参加する価値ありです！！！

The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.

スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。

I joined to see dolphins. The tour was amazing as I got to see the beautiful scenery of the West Coast and meet dolphins. The staff's service was also wonderful, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

イルカを見たくて参加しました。
西海岸のきれいな景色を見て、さらにイルカにも会えて、最高なツアーでした。
スタッフの方の対応もすばらしく、とても楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with a friend.

First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).

Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).

I definitely want to participate again♪

By the way, it gets quite cold after swimming, so don't forget to bring a jacket!!

友人と2人で参加しました。

最初にフラ、フラの先生が楽しく教えてくれます。
小道具も貸してもらえるので、気乗りがしない人でもテンションがあがりますよ（笑

次にイルカに会いに海へ！
間近で一緒に泳げた時間は少なかったのですが、イルカ＆亀と泳ぐが出来ました!
最悪イルカと遭遇出来なくても、船上スタッフのいろいろなパフォーマンス（ダンスあり、ギャグあり）があるので、それなりに楽しめるツアーだと思います。

是非、また参加したいです♪

ちなみに、泳いだ後はかなり寒いので上着を忘れずに！！

I was moved to see dolphins swimming right in front of me (tears). It's wonderful to be able to swim with them♪( ´▽｀)

イルカが目の前で泳いでるのに感動（泣）
一緒に泳げるって素敵だよ♪( ´▽｀)

The guide who took care of us was very cheerful and made everyone around us enjoy themselves!!! Although the snorkeling time was shorter than I expected, I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close, and I had a really fun time!!! I would love to have their help again when I go to Hawaii♪ Thank you very much!!! The taro chips and hamburger were delicious too---☆

お世話になったｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんは皆とても明るくてで周りを楽しませてくれました!!!
思ったよりｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞの時間は少なかったけれど、
イルカの群れを間近でみることが出来て、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました!!!
またＨａｗａｉｉへ行ったらお世話になりたいです♪
ありがとうございました!!!
ﾀﾛｲﾓ(～)チップス・ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ---☆

The weather was great, and I got to see a lot of dolphins and sea turtles. The staff were very lively and made the experience enjoyable from early in the morning until the end. It wasn't just about meeting the dolphins; the entire tour was fun.

お天気がよくたくさんのイルカとウミガメに会えました。
スタッフの方たちがとてもいい感じに盛り上げてくれて、朝早くから解散までたのしく過ごせました。ただイルカに会えるだけじゃなくて、ツアーの内容全体が楽しかったです。

I confirmed my reservation in Waikiki, and it was fine to do so in Japanese. They even gave me a morning call early on the day of my arrival.

I participated alone, but both the crew and other guests were friendly, so I highly recommend it!

I took motion sickness medication before departure, and I didn't feel sick at all on the boat or in the pickup van, so it's a must for those who are worried about it. In fact, about two people got seasick on the boat and couldn't go snorkeling with the dolphins.

Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, I thought it would depend on luck, but a mother dolphin and her five calves swam slowly around us! It was a lucky day because the water was very clear!

We moved to another spot and snorkeled among about eight sea turtles! The taro bread hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious!

We were able to return to Waikiki by noon, so I highly recommend it!

ワイキキに到着してからリコンファームしましたが日本語でOKで、当日の朝早くに確認のモーニングコールくれました。
一人参加でしたが、クルーもお客さんも仲良く過ごせるのでオススメです！
出発前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたら、ボートの上でもピックアップのバンでも全然酔わなかったので、心配な方はマストです。
実際2人くらいボートで酔って、イルカシュノーケルできてませんでした。
野生のイルカ相手だから、運もあるだろうとおもってましたが、5頭のイルカの親子が私達の周りを本当にゆっくり泳いでくれました！その日は水も透明度の高い日だったのでラッキーでした！
ポイント移動して、ウミガメが8頭くらいいる中でシュノーケルしました！
ランチのタロイモブレッドのハンバーガーもなかなか美味しかったです！
昼にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、オススメです！

On August 19, I participated with my family of four. It was tough getting up early, but we started with the first malasada, and the day was packed with activities! When we saw wild dolphins in the water, the kids were so excited. We also spotted a sea turtle, but we were too busy with activities like paddleboarding and missed it. Next time, we'll focus on the dolphins and sea turtles (laughs). The staff were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied. Of course, I slept like a log on the bus ride back...

8月19日に家族4人で参加しました。
朝が早いので大変ですが、朝一のマラサダから始まり
内容盛りだくさん！あっと言う間の一日です。
水中で野生のイルカを見たときには子供たちも大はしゃぎでした。
ウミガメも見つけましたが、パドルボード等のアクティビティーに忙しくて見逃してしましました。
次回はイルカとウミガメに徹します（笑
スタッフの方々もとても親切で大満足でした。
無論帰りのバスは爆睡でしたが。。。

I was feeling terrible from seasickness, but the rumored hamburger was delicious, and I got to see dolphins up close! Above all, the staff was great! They made sure we weren't bored before encountering the dolphins by entertaining us on the boat and taking lots of photos. The hula dance instructor was also amazing! Participating in this tour made me truly feel the essence of Hawaii!

船酔いして体調は最悪でしたが、
うわさのハンバーガーはおいしいし、
イルカも近くで見れました♪
なによりもｽﾀｯﾌがよかった！
イルカに遭遇するまでも退屈しないように
船上で楽しませてくれたり、写真も沢山撮ってくれました☆
フラダンスの先生も最高！
このツアーに参加して
ハワイを実感しました♪

I was really able to see it up close! If the water had been a bit clearer, I think it would have felt like I was in a dream world. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy, and I really regretted not borrowing a wetsuit. It was very cold.

My wife was feeling a bit unwell from the start, got motion sickness on the bus, and seemed quite uncomfortable on the boat, but she felt a little better once we got into the water. However, she still felt seasick while snorkeling in the cold water with the life jacket on.

But we did our best to enjoy ourselves and came back happy.

Since the duration is long, it might be tough if you're not feeling well.

Also, when the dolphins gather, you suddenly have to get into the water, so I recommend paying close attention to the instructions given on the bus ride there.

本当に間近に見れました！もう少し海の透明度が上がれば、夢の世界に行ったようだったと思います。あいにく、薄曇りでウエットスーツ借りなかったことをとても後悔しました。寒い寒い。
妻は出かけるときから少し体調不良で、行きのバスで酔ってしまい、船ではかなり辛そうだったのですが、海に入ると少しましに。しかし、寒さと浮き袋でシュノーケリング中の海の中でも波酔い。。
でも一生懸命楽しんで帰りました。

拘束時間が長いので、体調が悪い時は、つらいかもしれません。

あと、イルカが集まってきたら急に海に入るので、船に乗ったら、いや、行きのバスの中での説明をよく聞いておくことをおすすめします。

I participated at five months pregnant, of course, at my own risk.

At first, I signed up for the first session, but since it was fully booked, I was encouraged to join the second session, which was also nearly full in the shuttle van. It seems to be quite popular. During the ride, a DVD was playing, but very few people were watching; most were sleeping.

When we arrived, we borrowed costumes and danced in a nearby field since we were going to do hula first. It was over in a flash, but the explanations were clear and it was fun.

Up until this point, everyone, including others, was lively.

Once we boarded the boat and arrived at the dolphin point, we found several other boats waiting, and we had to wait for our turn. During that time, we saw a few pods of dolphins. They were spinning and there were baby dolphins too. We waited for the guide's instructions to enter the water, but the pods quickly moved away. We saw them several times from the boat, but only caught a glimpse of them in the water.

After that, we headed to the snorkeling point, but some people started to feel seasick, and I had a bad feeling as well. However, I thought it would be better to snorkel than stay on the boat. Following the guide, we discovered a sea turtle, and I was thrilled to see a wild sea turtle. The fish were swimming leisurely, which was also amazing.

However, perhaps due to the worsening weather, I started to feel cold. I swam until I reached my limit but got back on the boat early. After that, I curled up due to seasickness and cold. More than half of the people around me, who had been lively just moments ago, seemed to be feeling sick too, and we ended up taking the homemade hamburgers and chips back with us.

Strangely enough, once we got off the boat, my seasickness disappeared, and I was happily munching on a hamburger in the car, while my husband looked really miserable, haha. Although I didn't get to swim with the dolphins, it was overall a good experience. Definitely bring seasickness medication!

妊娠５ヶ月での参加でした。勿論自己責任。

最初、一部を申し込んだのですが、満席の為二部を勧められそちらに参加しましたが、二部も送迎のバン？はほぼ満席状態でした。人気なのでしょう。
行きの社内でDVDが流れていましたが、見ている人は少なく、皆寝ていました。
現地に着くと、先にフラダンスをやるという事で傍の原っぱにて衣装を借りて皆で踊りました。あっという間でしたが説明もわかりやすく楽しかったです。

他の方達含め、元気が良いのはここまでです。

船に乗り、イルカポイントに到着するも他の船も何隻か待っていて自分達の番が来るのをひたすら待ちました。その間に何回かイルカの群れを見ました。スピンもしていたし、子供イルカも居ました。
ガイドさんの指示を待って海に入りましたが、群れはあっという間に行ってしまいました。船上では何度も見れましたが、海の中では一瞬見れただけでした。
この後、今度はシュノーケルポイントに向かいましたが、この辺りで船酔いする人が出てきて、自分もちょっと嫌な予感はしましたが、船上に居るよりは良いと思いシュノーケルしました。ガイドさんについていくとウミガメを発見、野生のウミガメには感動しました。魚も悠々と泳いでいて感動です。
しかし、雲行きがあまり良くなかったせいか体が冷えてきて、限界まで泳ぎましたが早めに船に上がり、その後は襲ってきた船酔いと寒さでずっとうずくまっていました。
さっきまで元気だった周りの方達も半分以上酔っていたようで、手作りハンバーガーもチップスもお持ち帰りしました。船を下りると、本当に不思議なことにケロっと船酔いが治り私は車内でハンバーガーを頬張っていましたが旦那さんは本当に辛そうでした　笑
イルカと泳ぐ夢は叶いませんでしたが、全体的に良い体験でした。　酔い止め必須です。

Last time, I signed up for a different tour, but I was just desperately swimming after dolphins and hardly saw any. With Dolphin You, the captain predicts the dolphins' movements and takes you to the right spots, so I was able to see the pods without chasing them around. Also, the life vests allow you to adjust the air yourself, so those confident in swimming can dive, which made it a lot of fun. My 8-year-old daughter, who is good at swimming, was crying because she wanted to use an adult vest instead of a child-sized one, and Shanti kindly comforted her and switched it to an adult vest. I was very satisfied as I was able to see many dolphins during all three tries. At the turtle point, we were allowed to snorkel slowly, and I was able to swim with 4 to 5 turtles for a long time. This tour is truly filled with consideration for making guests enjoy themselves, and I was moved by that. It was completely different from the previous dolphin tour and other tours, as I always felt that they prioritized the guests. The hamburgers were delicious, and trying hula dancing turned out to be surprisingly fun. If I want to encounter dolphins again next time, I will choose this tour. Thank you, Shanti, Kaina, Ila, and Steve!!

前回は別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカを追いかけて必死に泳いでいるだけで、ほとんど姿をみられませんでした。ドルフィンユーの場合は、キャプテンがイルカの動きを予測してポイントに落としてくれるので、追いかけ回すことなくイルカの群れを見ることが出来ました。また、ライフベストも自分で空気の量を調整できるため、泳ぎに自信のある人は潜ったりすることも出来るので、とても楽しめました。泳ぎの得意な８歳の娘が子供用のベストでなく、大人用のものを使いたいと泣いていたところ、シャンティが優しく慰めてくれ、大人用のベストに替えてくれました。３回のトライすべてでたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来て大満足でした。ウミガメのポイントでもゆっくりとシュノーケルをさせてくれたので、４~５匹のウミガメとずっと泳いでいられました。このツアーは、本当にゲストを楽しませようという心遣いに溢れており、感激しました。前回のイルカツアーや、別のツアーとは全く違い、ゲストのことを第一に考えてくれていることを常に感じていました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、フラダンスもやってみると意外と楽しかったです。次回もイルカに遭いたくなったらこのツアーで行きます。シャンティ・カイナ・イラ・スティーブ、みんなありがとうね！！

I was able to meet both dolphins and turtles. For those who are new to snorkeling and experiences like this, the schedule is very well organized, making it enjoyable without getting boring, and I think you'll be very satisfied. If you have no resistance to getting into the water, I believe it's physically possible for children and people of a certain age. The staff were very accommodating and made the experience enjoyable.

イルカともカメともちゃんと出会えました。シュノーケリングやこういう体験が初めての方には、時間割（内容）がとても上手に構成されていて、飽きが来ずにとても満足だと思います。水に入るのに抵抗がなければ、子どもからある程度の年齢の方まで体力的にも可能だと思いました。スタッフの方がとても対応がうまくて楽しませてもらえました。

We saw a lot of dolphins from the boat, but unfortunately, we only caught a glimpse of them underwater. That was really disappointing. I really wanted to see more.
However, the staff were very considerate and kind, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and hula on the boat.

船上からはイルカがたくさん見えましたが、残念ながら水中で少し見えただけ。それがとても残念でした。やっぱりたくさん見たかったなあ。
ですが、スタッフの方がいろいろ気遣って親切にしてくださるし、シュノーケルや船上フラなど楽しめました。

I was wondering if I would really see dolphins, but I actually did. Moreover, I saw quite a few of them. It seems some people also saw sea turtles. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again.

イルカ本当に見れるのかな~と思ってましたが、本当に見れました。しかも結構な数、見れました。海ガメも見れた方もいたようです。機会があればまた参加したいと思いました。

I still can't believe I got to swim with the dolphin teacher. Moreover, the turtle teacher also made an appearance, and it felt like a dream. The sounds of the dolphins are still fresh in my mind. I thought the children might be more afraid of the ocean, but they were lively, swimming around with the fish and were very excited.
I felt that the guides' attentiveness and the program's organization were of a very high level. It was truly exceptional.
As a point of reflection for our family for next time, since it gets very cold after coming out of the water, I think we should definitely bring something to wear and a change of clothes. We will participate again!

本当にイルカ先生と一緒に泳げたとは、今でも信じられません。しかもウミガメ先生も登場して、まるで夢のようでした。イルカ先生たちの鳴き声がまだ頭に残っています。こどもたちも、もっと海を怖がるかと思いましたが、生き生きと海の中を魚たちと泳ぎまわり、興奮していました。
ガイドの方たちの気配りや、プログラムの組み立ても大変レベルが高いと感じました。至れり尽くせりといった感じ。
次回また参加させていただくための、我が家の反省点としては、海からあがってからがとても体が冷えるので、羽織るものや着替えをしっかり持っていくことかな？また参加させていただきます！

At the time of booking, I thought the price might be a bit high, but even with the dolphin swim, I was satisfied with the packed itinerary that included breakfast with "malasadas," "paddle surfing," and "hula." The staff were very friendly and made sure we had fun without feeling nervous. Participants ranged from elementary school students to couples in their 60s, which added to the enjoyment. We left early in the morning to match the dolphin time. By the time we returned to the hotel, it was noon. There was still half a day left, and I felt quite satisfied and fulfilled that day!

申し込み時、お値段的に高いかな~と思ったけれど、ドルフィンスイムとはいえ、朝ご飯の“マラサダ”から“パドルサーフィン”“フラ”なども楽しめる盛りだくさんの企画で満足しました。スタッフの方もとってもフレンドリーで緊張せず楽しませてくれました。参加者も、小学生~60代のご夫婦まで各年齢層が集まり、これもまた楽しい要因でした。イルカtimeに合わせ朝早く出発。すべて終わってホテルに戻るとお昼の12時。まだ半日もあるぞ~!と、その日はかなり満足＆充実してました。

We were blessed with beautiful weather.

We saw dolphins multiple times, and we also encountered turtles and some rare fish. Unlike an aquarium, seeing them in the same water was even more moving.

いい天気に恵まれました

イルカも何度も見れたし、カメ、珍しい魚にも会えました。
水族館と違い、同じ水の中で見れるので感動はさらにすごかったです。

We participated as a family of three with our 5-year-old son. Although I was worried about snorkeling since my son can't swim, we decided to join because we wanted to see wild dolphins.

I was really concerned about whether we would actually see dolphins, but on the day of the event, we were able to see many dolphins. They even showcased some beautiful spins. My son jumped into the sea, but he looked anxious since he couldn't touch the bottom. However, the staff supported us, and we were able to meet the dolphin teacher. Thank you for your thoughtful considerations. Since the staff took care of the children, the parents were able to enjoy themselves too.

On the boat, we experienced singing and hula, and we were able to immerse ourselves in Hawaii. Thank you to the dolphin teacher and the wonderful staff who are always positive. We were deeply moved.

We will definitely come back for another session.

I couldn't go buy the DVD because I succumbed to sleepiness.

5歳の息子と家族三人で参加させていただきました。
泳げない息子にシュノーケリングは不安がありましたが、野生のイルカに会いたくて参加を決めました。

本当にイルカに会えるのか心配でしたが、当日はたくさんのイルカに会うことが出来ました。華麗にスピンまで披露してくれました。
息子も海に飛び込んだものの、足がつかないので不安そうな表情でしたが、スタッフの方もサポータしてくださったのでイルカ先生に会う事が出来ました。色々とご配慮いただきありがとうございました。子供の面倒をみていただけたので親も楽しめました。

船の上では、歌やフラ。たくさんのハワイに触れる事が出来ました。イルカ先生、そして『いつも前向き』な素敵なスタッフのみなさん。たくさんの感動ありがとうございました。

また、受講しに行きます。

DVD、睡魔に負けて購入しに行けませんでした。

I participated in a dolphin tour departing from Ko Olina Bay three times, each with a different operator, but this one was the best so far. The reasons are: 1) the guide provided very thorough explanations, 2) after seeing the dolphins, we enjoyed observing turtles and tropical fish, and we also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking all in one go, plus meals, snacks, and drinks (juice) were included.

In other tours, the drinks were just something like hot water. It felt like they were cutting costs quite a bit, but here they even included malasadas. It was all very well thought out and fulfilling.

The crew was bright and friendly, and they made sure everyone had a good time. The Japanese staff were also very polite and kind. It was a tour where we could enjoy ourselves while respecting the ocean, and I was completely satisfied. I will definitely re-enroll at the Private Dolphin University next time.

ここコオリナ湾から出港するイルカツアーに過去３回それぞれ別の催行で参加しましたが、ここがこれまでで一番よかったですね。それは、１）ガイドがとても丁寧に説明してくれる２）イルカを見た後は、亀と熱帯魚の観察、そして今はやりのスタンドパドルやシーカヤック体験と一度に３つも楽しめ、さらに食事とスナックと飲み物（ジュース）が付くところですね。
他のツアーで出る飲み物は、白湯のようなものだけ。かなり経費節約って感じですが、ここはさらにマラサダが付きます。至れり尽くせりで、充実していますよ。
クルーも皆明るくて親切で、平等に楽しませてくれました。日本人スタッフの方もとても礼儀正しく、親切でした。海への敬意を払いつつ、楽しむことができる、納得のツアーでした。今度も私立イルカ大学に再入学します。

My family and I went on the Hawaii Dolphin Swim & Snorkel on June 26, 2011 morning swim. It was beyond our expectations. We found dolphins right away and the captain and crew knew exactly where to find them. There were several dolphin pods and we were able to get pretty close to them but not touching them. 3 of them hovered about 5 feet below my wife and I making their squeal and clicking sounds. It was amazing. The snorkel equipment they provided was in good shape and very reliable. The boat was fine with plenty of room to move around and feel safe aboard. The crew was very professional, friendly and entertaining. The food was average but any time you've been in the water for a while, coming out to a hot burger is always delicious. I would highly recommend this trip especially if you want to get in the water. We also had time to freelance snorkel in an area 25 feet deep that had several sea turtles hanging out. They were fabulous to watch swim by you on their way to the surface

The prestigious Dolphin University was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for their thoughtfulness.

I was unsure which cruise to choose, but I'm glad I went with Dolphin University.

The boat had a roof, so I wasn't exposed to direct sunlight, and after swimming in the ocean, it was nice to have warm tea served if I got cold. I appreciated that a lot. They took photos and sold them on DVD, so I didn't even need to bring my camera, which made it convenient.

We were lucky with the weather, and I felt like around 50 dolphins swam beneath me.

The turtles and yellow fish were also cute and fun. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!

名門イルカ大学最高でした。たくさんのスタッフの方の気遣いありがとうございました。

海でのクルーズでどれにしようか迷いましたが、イルカ大学にしてよかったです。

船に屋根があったので直射日光が当たらないし、海に入った後寒くなったら暖かいお茶が出てきたり、とてもありがたかったです。写真を撮ってくれてDVDで販売してくれるのでカメラも持って行かずにすみ楽でした。

天気にも恵まれ50頭ぐらいはイルカが私の下を泳いで行ったように思えます。

亀や黄色い魚もかわいくて楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加します！！

It was quite a while ago, but I participated in October. I heard that there had been high waves for about a week prior, which made the sea murky and reduced visibility.

While on the boat, we could see the dorsal fins of the dolphins swimming, and each time we spotted them, we were told to "go! go! go! go!" and everyone hurriedly jumped in, but we could hardly see them swimming.

After jumping in three times, most people caught a glimpse for just a moment (about three seconds) on the third try, but another couple and I couldn’t see them at all. We moved again, and only those who hadn’t seen them got to try again. Finally, I managed to see them for about five seconds.

I should have been happy, but maybe because I had seen too many participant experiences and photos, I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "I thought I would see more..."

After that, we moved to the bay. It was also murky there, with visibility of just a few meters. Of course, I couldn’t see any turtles or tropical fish at all. We alternated between kayaking and paddle surfing, but my spirits were low, so I ended up eating snacks on the boat.

In the distance, I could see a group of dolphins meeting with a school of dolphins. Having come to Hawaii to see dolphins, I was envious of those on the school’s boat who were chasing dolphins until the end, rather than staying in the murky bay for paddle surfing. I didn’t expect to see so few dolphins.

The staff were great. They really tried to make it exciting. If we could have seen the dolphins clearly instead of just for a moment, it might have been a lot more fun.

随分前になりますが、私が参加したのは１０月でした。
現地ではちょうど一週間前くらいから高波が続いていたということで、海が濁り、透明度が低く。

船の上にいると泳いでいるイルカの背びれが見え、その度に船で移動し、「go!go!go!go!」と言われて皆慌てて飛び込むのですが、なかなか泳いでいる姿は見えず。

３回飛び込んで、３回目にして大半の人は一瞬（３秒くらい）見えたのですが、私ともう１組のカップルは見れず。
再移動して、見れなかった人だけ再チャレンジ。
ようやく私も５秒程度でしたが見えました。

本当は嬉しいはずなのに、参加者の体験談とか写真とか見過ぎていたのか、「もっと見られるかと思ったのに」という気持ちで、イマイチでした。。。

その後、湾のほうへ移動。
こちらも濁っていて、視界は数ｍ程度。もちろん亀も熱帯魚も全く見られず。
カヤックとパドルサーフィンを交代で…という感じでしたが、気持ちも下がっていたので船上でお菓子を食べていました。。

離れたところでは、イルカ中学がイルカと会っている姿が。
イルカに会う為にハワイに来た私は、パドルサーフィンなどの為に濁った湾に留まっているよりも、中学の船で最後までイルカを追いかけているのが羨ましかったです。
こんなにイルカが見れないとは思っていませんでした。

スタッフの方はいい方達です。すごく盛り上げようとしてくれます。
イルカが一瞬だけでなくしっかり見られれば、きっと楽しかったのかもしれません。

Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.

Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが！ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと！！かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。
ボートを降りた後は涼しい木陰でフラレッスン、こちらも心癒される楽しい思い出となりました。
今度ハワイに行ったときにも是非参加したいです。

This tour is all about having a good vibe. The key to enjoying it is to let loose and have fun without feeling shy.

As for the dolphins, at first, I thought I might not see any, but later on, I encountered many dolphins, which made me quite satisfied.

You can also enjoy malasadas, marine sports, and hula dancing, making the most of your time in Hawaii.

It involves quite a bit of physical activity, so on the way back, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car until we reached the hotel.

このツアーはとにかくノリが大切。恥ずかしがらずにノリまくるのが楽しむコツです。
肝心のイルカですが、最初のうちは全然見れずに、こんなもんかなーと思っていたのですが、その後たくさんのイルカに遭遇できたので、かなり満足しました。
他にもマラサダ、マリンスポーツ、フラダンスと、ハワイを満喫できます。
結構な運動量なので、帰りの車の中では疲れてホテルまでぐっすり眠ってしまいました。

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に４月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん！日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
４歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のＣＤも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が４月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

楽しかったです、素晴らしい体験でした。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございます。

It was fun, was an impressive experience
Your staff, thank you
