イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

The phone call about the change was made the evening before... 前日夕方に変更の電話が・・・

Reviewed by: Dolphin

I booked a trip with Dolphin University, but I received a call the evening before saying that they couldn't secure my reservation because they were busy. They asked if I could change my pickup time from 5:30 PM to 11:00 AM. Since I had plans in the afternoon, I inquired about cancellation fees, and the response was vague, saying, "It's not decided yet." I was left waiting for a call without knowing when it would come, and when I called back internationally, they told me to switch to Dolphin Junior High. I was informed that the boat would not have a slide and that swimming with dolphins would be different.

Since I had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with me, I was anxious about how the changes would affect us, but they said, "The children's feelings will determine if they can swim."

When we actually went, the boat was quite small, and the waves were high, making it impossible for the kids to swim with the dolphins, so we ended up watching from the boat. Additionally, the dolphins were in the middle of raising their young and swam away. (This is understandable, but the dolphin swim at Dolphin University should have ended by the end of October.)

Fortunately, the child who is prone to seasickness did not get sick, but it was disappointing that the 4-year-old couldn't enjoy it much due to the small boat.

Also, the instructions for entering the water were all in English, possibly because our family was the only Japanese group, which made me anxious as I had to act as an interpreter.

I wouldn't recommend this tour for those who are not used to such experiences or who are not comfortable with sudden changes. Personally, I was satisfied to see the dorsal fins of the dolphins and to go snorkeling, but I can't help but wonder how it would have been at Dolphin University. Given the size of the boat and the scale of the tour, I felt the price was high (even considering the weak yen).

イルカ大学を予約しましたが、前日夕方に電話があり、遊んでいたために取れなかったため、折り返すと、5時半ピックアップではなく、11時のものに変更できないかという打診でした。午後の予定を入れていたため、キャンセル料がかかるのかなど聞くと、「まだ決定したわけではないから」と歯切れの悪い返事。また、電話すると言われていつ頃かもわからない電話を待ち、また取れずにこちらから国際電話で再度折り返すと、「イルカ中学に変更してください。」と。スライダーがない船になることと、イルカと泳げるという点が異なると言われました。
4歳と6歳が一緒だったので、変更がどうなるか不安でしたが、「お子様の気持ち次第で泳げます」と。
実際行くと、かなり小さなボートで波がかなり高い場所でイルカと泳ぐのは子供は無理そうだったため、船から見学した。また、イルカは子育て中であり、逃げてしまった。（これは仕方ないが、そもそもイルカ大学のドルフィンスイムは10月末で終わっていたはず）
酔いやすい子供が酔わなかったのは幸いだったが、船も小さく、4歳はあまり楽しめていなかったのが残念だった。
また、入水時の説明が、日本人が私達家族だけだったからか、全て英語で、私が通訳のように説明しなければならなかったのが不安だった。
このようなツアーに慣れていない方や、突然の変更に慣れない方にはおすすめしません。
個人的にはイルカの背鰭が見学できて、シュノーケリングができて満足しましたが、イルカ大学だったらどうだったのか・・・と考えてしまいます。また、この内容（ボートの大きさやツアー規模）だとしたらダイビングでもなくこの値段はお高く感じました。（円安を考慮しても）

クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: ずんご

You can fully enjoy horseback riding in the great outdoors for two hours. An instructor is present to provide riding advice as needed, so you can feel at ease.

Since horses are living creatures, they may make unpredictable movements, but that added to the emotional experience. Overall, they seemed calm and well-trained. I don't think you can enjoy horseback riding this much in Japan, so I initially thought it was expensive, but in the end, I was very satisfied with the cost performance.

2時間たっぷり大自然の中、乗馬を満喫することができます。インストラクターの方が1名ついてくれ、適宜乗り方のアドバイスをくれるので安心して過ごせます。
お馬さんは生き物なので予測不能な動きをすることもありますが、そこも含めてとても感動する体験でした。基本、みんな穏やかでしっかり調教されている印象です。日本ではこんなにたっぷり乗馬を楽しむことはできないと思うので、当初は高いかと思いましたが、終わってみればコスパの面でも大満足でした。

I had some concerns about the language barrier, but after arriving, the explanations and activity descriptions were provided in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the activities without any issues. Also, being able to drive myself and visit various locations was very enjoyable, and the scenery was amazing everywhere! While I couldn't take photos while driving, it was great that we could stop at various photo spots along the way.

運転中は撮影できませんが、ところどころ写真スポットにて止まることができるので、そこもよかったです。

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス　シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き＜英語ドライバー＞

The scenery was amazing! But the wind was strong and the seawater was cold. 景色はサイコー！でも風が強くて海水は冷たかった

Reviewed by: ハルナ

Since I joined the 7:20 tour, there were still few people at the beach, and I was able to find a good spot. The seawater in November is cold, and on this day, the wind was strong and it even rained at times, making it feel even colder. I was glad to see a lot of fish.

Although it's not due to this tour, it's unfortunate that Hanauma Bay has become reservation-only, which means you can't decide to go based on the weather on the day of your visit. By the way, it was sunny during my stay except for the day of the tour.

7:20の回で入れたので、まだビーチに人が少なくていい場所が取れました。
11月の海水は冷たく、この日は風が強くて途中雨も降っていたので尚更寒く感じました。
魚はたくさん見れたので良かったです。

このツアーのせいではないのですが、ハナウマ湾自体が予約制になったことで当日の天気で行くことを判断できなくなってしまったのが残念です。
ちなみに参加日以外の滞在期間は晴れていました。

It was disappointing. 残念でした

Reviewed by: あゆ

I boarded three times before the COVID-19 pandemic. The atmosphere was nice, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese. I was really looking forward to this trip to Hawaii after a long time, but the staff prioritized foreign guests and were not friendly towards Japanese guests. The drinks I ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a refill on the bread. The only saving grace was the beautiful fireworks from Hilton. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

コロナ禍前に3回乗船しました。
雰囲気も良く、日本語も出来るスタッフもいました。今回久しぶりのハワイでとっても楽しみにしてましたが、スタッフは外人のゲストファーストで、日本人には愛想無し。頼んだドリンクは30分以上来ない。パンのおかわりさえ聞かない。唯一ヒルトンの花火が綺麗だった事が救い。

There are a lot of circle tours to choose from, we picked this one to see turtles and have lunch at the food trucks on the North Shore. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and gave us as much or as little time at each stop as we wanted. Even our teen and pre-teen loved it, which is a huge endorsement! We all liked that it was a small group. The guide's microphone wasn't working at various points which was disappointing since we couldn't hear in back. This was a great way to spend our first full day on the island, it was a really good experience.

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

Activities departing from Waikiki Beach ワイキキビーチ出発のアクティビティ

Reviewed by: カタマラン

I have previously been on the Mai Tai Catamaran in front of the Sheraton and the Nohok 2 Catamaran in front of Outrigger Beach. This was my first time here. The reception staff and the yacht crew were the friendliest.

Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village through a free accommodation experience, I was considering either Holokai in front of Outrigger Reef or Pink Sails in front of the Prince Hotel, but I chose this one due to the departure time.

The snorkeling instructions were in English, so I couldn't understand the details. I recommend watching the videos uploaded by Pink Sails. The snorkeling spot had five other yachts from different companies gathered. On the day, it was windy with some waves, and I heard from the crew that the conditions were a bit tough. I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to see quite a few fish. I think such things can happen when dealing with nature.

After snorkeling, we were given bottled water. The free soft drinks refer to this. Sunscreen is available for free. We raised the sails and enjoyed a refreshing cruise off Waikiki for a while before returning to Outrigger Reef.

　今までシェラトン前のマイタイカタマランとアウトリガービーチ前のナホク2カタマランに乗ったことがあります。こちらは初となります。受付スタッフやヨットのクルーの対応は一番フレンドリーでした。
　無料宿泊体験でヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まったので、歩いていけるアウトリガーリーフ前のホロカイかプリンスホテル前のピンクセイルスどちらかにしようかまよったのですが、出航時間の都合でこちらにしました。
　シュノーケルの注意点は英語でしたので細かいことは分かりませんでした。ピンクセイルスに動画がアップされているので、見ることをお勧めします。シュノーケルをする場所は他社のヨット5隻が集まっていました。当日は風が強く波もありクルーから少しハードなコンディションと聞きました。タートルは見れませんでしたが、魚は結構見ることができました。自然相手なのでそういうこともあると思いいます。
　シュノーケルが終わるとペットボトルの水が渡されました。ソフトドリンク無料というのはこのことです。日焼け止めは無料で使えます。帆を上げて、しばらくワイキキ沖をクルージングし爽快な気分を味わえます。そしてアウトリガーリーフ前へ帰港となります。
