West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

So Rad!

Reviewed by: BLC Reno NV

Worth every penny, We will be doing this again when we return to the islands. The crew was friendly, interactive with everyone, and also very caring and attentive to the folks that didn’t have their sea legs. The day we went, we swam with 3 spinner dolphins, and some bottle nose, then on the way to the coral reef we saw a pod of over 500 dolphins. The snorkel, slide, paddle board spot was rad as well, legit like diving into a nature film. Getting to see a sea turtle in nature was just an amazing end to an already awesome day! To the crew and cpt. Mahalo for such a great adventure!

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Nothing special.

Reviewed by: OKM

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

It was a good experience. 良い経験になりました

Reviewed by: ゆみんちゅう

We participated as a family of five, with the youngest being five years old. It was quite hard with diving in and out of the sea... It would be fine for just adults, but it can be tiring with small children. We finally got to see the dolphins at the end, and the excitement when we saw them was immense. We also had a little time for snorkeling, which was fun. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and from the boat, we saw many sea turtles and dolphins, but we couldn't swim together with many of them... I want to try again next time. It's definitely worth participating!

家族5人で参加しました。1番下は5歳。
結構ハードに海にダイブしたり上がったりと…大人だけなら良いですが小さな子連れだと疲れます。肝心のイルカは最後にやっと見れました。見れた時の感動は大きかったです。少しだけシュノーケリングの時間もあり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでも海亀さん見れて船の上からは何度も海亀さん見れて、船の上からは沢山イルカ見れましたが一緒に沢山はさほど泳げませんでした…また次回トライしたいです。参加する価値はあります‼︎

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

So much FUN! Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: HAPPY IN HAWAII!!

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

Highly Enjoyable and Amazing.

Reviewed by: Pamela

We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.

West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

Amazing Day!

Reviewed by: Heather

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

I'm glad that even the little ones were able to see the wild dolphins up close!

Even without entering the water, there are times when the dolphins swim alongside the boat, greeting us as they come close. This allows young children and elderly guests to enjoy watching the dolphins from the boat.
Please come visit us again!

I encountered dolphins, but イルカには遭遇しましたが

Reviewed by: ホクラニ

I was lucky to participate just before the travel ban to Hawaii. I was surprised to learn that dolphins can be found surprisingly close to the shore (though it might have just been that time).

Things I hope can be improved and some disappointments:
- Since I prefer renting a car during my stay, I didn't need transportation, so it would be nice to have a discount system for that.
- The term "light snack" was used, but it was more like a snack. It definitely wasn't a meal.
- I was told there would be a graduation gift, but there was no such present at all. Even a single pen would have been a nice keepsake, so it was disappointing.

ハワイ渡航禁止になる直前に参加できたのはラッキーでした。
イルカは意外と岸に近いところに居るもんだと、初めて知りました。(この時だけだったのかもしれませんが)
改善していただけたらと思うことや、残念だったこと。
・当方は滞在中レンタカー派なので、送迎不要だったのですが、その場合は少しはディスカウント制度があればありがたいかと。
・軽食という表記ですが、あれなスナックですね。決して食事ではなかったです。
・卒業記念品をいただけるとのことでしたが、全くそういうプレゼントは無かったです。たとえボールペン1本でも記念になるのにと残念でした。

Thank you for participating in the tour.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the encounter with the dolphins.
However, I understand that there were some aspects that did not meet your expectations, which is unfortunate.

Regarding the snack options you mentioned, please note that we categorize the spam musubi as a light snack.
Additionally, as stated on the tour page and voucher, the method for receiving the graduation memorabilia will be explained by the guide on the day of the tour. It will be provided at our Waikiki office, so we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I was able to see dolphins jumping and swimming in groups!

The spam musubi eaten on the boat was incredibly delicious!

I'm not sure if it's a limited-time offer, but I received a cute eco bag from the dolphin school at the office! It's really adorable and my favorite!

Since it's cold, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit!

wild dolphins 野生のイルカ

Reviewed by: ハワイ初デビュー

First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.

To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.

You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.

By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.

まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。 
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。

This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!

今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした!
海の透明度も今回が最高でした!魚もたくさん見れました!
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。

It was absolutely amazing!!! The day before we went, it took three hours to see dolphins, but on this day, we encountered a pod just 15 minutes after reaching the spot!!! We got to swim with them over and over again. It was March, but I managed to swim without a wetsuit (it might have been better if I had borrowed one??). I also got to meet the turtle instructor right away, and it was truly, truly wonderful!!!

Dolphin experiences are the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I saw dolphins. イルカ見れた

Reviewed by: かつぼー

It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.

3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。
朝は早いですが午前中で終わりますので、昼からもゆっくりできてハワイを満喫できます。

I was moved to see both dolphins and sea turtles. イルカ、ウミガメ共に見れて感動

Reviewed by: プリウス

I participated in a dolphin tour during the second half of my trip to Hawaii. Most of the trip was rainy and quite chilly, but on this day, it was sunny from the morning, and the temperature was high, making for a comfortable tour. I was worried about whether I would see dolphins, but I was truly moved to see them three times. When a dolphin passed right in front of me, I got goosebumps. Additionally, during the snorkeling time, I was able to see many sea turtles, making it a truly fulfilling tour. Since it was a family trip, I also enjoyed dancing with everyone on the boat during the tour. I would love to participate again.

ハワイ旅行後半にイルカ中学に参加しました。旅行中のほとんどが雨が多く肌寒いことも多かったのですが、この日は朝から快晴で気温も高く快適なツアーになりました。一番のお目当てのイルカが見れるかが心配でしたが、3度も見ることができ本当に感動でした。目の前をイルカが通過したときは鳥肌が立ちました。またシュノーケリング時間でもウミガメをたくさん見ることができて本当に充実したツアーになりました。家族単独旅行でしたのでこのツアーで他の皆さんと船上でダンスしたのも楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

You can swim with whales and turtles. クジラやカメとも泳げる

Reviewed by: エスケープ新社会人

I heard that it can take time to find a pod of dolphins depending on the day, but when I participated in February, it took 4 hours to swim with the dolphins (sometimes they can be found in about 30 minutes). They generally stick around for hours until they find them, so it's wise not to schedule anything else after the tour.

However, even if it takes time to encounter the dolphins, you can swim with whales, turtles, and various fish in the meantime, which makes for a very satisfying experience. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, making it a great tour.

日によってイルカの群れを見つけるまで時間が掛かることがあるとの事だったのですが、
2月に参加した際はイルカと泳ぐまで4時間かかりました(早い時は30分くらいで見つけられるらしい)。
基本的に見つかるまで何時間も粘ってくれるので、ツアーの後に他の予定は入れておかない方が賢明です。

しかしイルカに出会うまで時間がかかっても、それまでクジラ、カメやいろんな魚と泳ぐ事が出来るので、とても満足度が高いです。
スタッフの方々も親切でアットホームで、良いツアーでした。

I participated with my parents, husband, and 2-year-old child. My husband and I took turns (if the timing worked out) to watch the dolphins.

When it started, it seemed like the timing wasn't going to work out, and I was wondering what to do when a staff member picked up my child. Amazingly, the child who usually cries didn't cry at all!! Thanks to that, my parents, husband, and I were all able to watch the dolphins together.

The staff were considerate of my child until the very end, and we were able to create wonderful memories, so I’m really glad!

両親と旦那と2歳の子どもと参加。
私と旦那で交代(タイミングが合えば可能)してイルカを観ようと参加しました。

いざ始まるとなかなかタイミングが合いそうになく、どうしようと思っていると、スタッフさんが子どもを抱っこしてくれました。しかもいつも泣く子が泣かない!!なので、両親と旦那と私と皆でイルカを観る事ができました。

最後まで子どもに気を遣っていただき、素晴らしい思い出ができたので良かったです!

I had a great time spending it with the fun crew and captain. My partner is not fond of cheese, and when we requested a cheeseless hamburger, they kindly prepared it separately, which we really appreciated. I would love to participate again. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales!

クルーやキャプテン楽しい皆さんと一緒に
過ごせ楽しかったです。
パートナーがチーズ苦手でハンバーガーチーズ抜きを依頼していたら、ちゃーんと個別にしてくまさったり、そんな配慮も嬉しかったです。
また、参加したいです。

I participated on March 1st, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable, and it was so cold that I got goosebumps even while wearing a wetsuit. I was able to see dolphins, and they even jumped near the boat. The staff were very enthusiastic, and the taro burger was delicious. The scenery was also great.

3月1日に参加しましたが、あいにく天気には恵まれず、ウエットスーツを着ても鳥肌が立つくらい寒かったです。イルカは見れ船の近くでジャンプもしてくれました。スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれ、タロイモのバーガーも美味しかったです。景色もよかったです。

Thank you for participating in the tour. Even in tropical Hawaii, there are winter days, and while it is much warmer compared to Japan, there can still be chilly days. This year seems to have particularly many cold days. It's very unfortunate that you couldn't enjoy it fully, but please join us again during a warmer season for a chance to make up for it. We look forward to seeing you.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。常夏ハワイでも冬があり、日本と比べるととても暖かいですが、肌寒い日もあります。また今年は、特に寒い日が多いように思います。十分に楽しめなかった事、とても残念ですが、是非、次回は、暖かい時期にご参加してリベンジしてください。お待ちしています。

The day I participated in the tour, the weather was great, and I was very satisfied to encounter whales, turtles, and many dolphins. However, I thought I was lucky since there were some acquaintances I didn't get to meet. (According to the guide, the encounter rate with dolphins is 95%.)

ツアーに参加した日はお天気も良くて、クジラやカメやたくさんのイルカに出会うことができ大満足でした。
ただ、知り合いで出会えなかった方もいたので運がよかったのかなと思いました。(ガイドの方のお話だと、イルカとの遭遇率は95%とのことです。)

Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School!
We have a 95% encounter rate with dolphins, but since they are wild, there are days when you might not see them.
It was a wonderful day where you got to meet many dolphins in great weather!
Please join us again if you have the opportunity.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back!

I was able to see sea turtles, dolphins, and whales! ウミガメ&イルカ&鯨に会えました!

Reviewed by: すみちゃん親子

We participated as a family of three. The meeting time was early in the morning, but surprisingly, we received a wake-up call in our hotel room! The crew was incredibly energetic and worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively. We had a great time.

Whenever we spotted dolphins, we jumped in to see them. We repeated this a few times, going back and forth to where the dolphins were. (For those who are snorkeling for the first time, it might be a bit scary.) While there’s no worry of drowning since you wear a life jacket, the water is quite deep. The dolphins swam quite below us, and they were fast, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did get to see them jumping and swimming in groups.

A sea turtle swam slowly close to us, and my daughter was able to capture some photos of it up close. We also encountered whales from the boat.

The cheeseburger for lunch was quite substantial, and the pineapple was sweet and delicious! However, I think it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. If you don’t take precautions, it could be quite challenging. Floating and swimming in the deep sea is the most likely to cause seasickness.

At the end, we took a group photo, and they later sent the pictures via email. I think the service was attentive in every aspect.

We returned to Waikiki in the early afternoon, which allowed us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, so it was good to do it in the morning. Thank you for a fun day!

家族3人で参加しました。集合時間が早朝だったのですが、なんとホテルの部屋にモーニングコール(^^♪びっくりしました!
クルーの皆さんはめっちゃテンション高く、一生懸命盛り上げてくれ(^^)/
とても楽しく過ごせました。
イルカを見つけると、そこへ飛び込んでイルカを見る。また船でイルカのいる場所に行きイルカを見る・・・を何度か繰り返しました。
(シュノーケリング初めての方は怖いかもしれません)ライフジャケットを着ているので溺れる心配はありませんが、かなり深いので(汗)
イルカは私たちのかなり下を泳いでいて、スピードも早くてあまり近くでは見られませんでしたが、群れで海上をはねて泳ぐ姿も見れました。
ウミガメはゆっくり私たちの近くに泳いできてくれて、娘は至近距離で泳ぐ姿を撮影できました。船の上からは鯨にも会えました。
お昼のチーズバーガーはお肉がかなりボリュ-ムあり。パイナップルも甘くておいしかったです!
ただ、乗り物酔いする方にはかなりきついかと思います。対策していかないと、大変だと思います。船よりも、深い海で浮いて泳ぐことが一番酔います。

最後に全員で写真を撮り、後にメールで写真を送ってくださいました。
何から何まで行き届いたサービスだと思います。

ワイキキに戻るのはお昼過ぎ。午後からは違う予定を入れられるので午前にしてよかったです。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました!

Thank you for joining Dolphin & You. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. During the winter season, there may be some days with a bit of wave action, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication. Additionally, we suggest swimming in the waters of Waikiki before the tour to get accustomed to the ocean. We hope you will join us again in other seasons. We look forward to seeing you!

ドルフィン&ユーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただき、とても嬉しいです。冬の時期は、少し波が出てくる日もありますので、酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。また、ツアー参加の前にワイキキの海でも泳いで海に慣れておくことをおすすめします。他の季節にも是非ご参加ください。お待ちしております!

We saw dolphins, turtles, and even a whale, and there was a rainbow too—it was amazing! Since it's cold in February, it's better to spend $10 to rent a wetsuit!

I couldn't relax because I was constantly going in and out of the sea. I was hoping to go snorkeling in the shallow waters, but it was a wrong choice. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice.

海に入ったり、出たりが激しく、ゆっくり出来なかった。浅瀬でシュノーケリングを期待していた。セレクト間違いだった。
船での雰囲気は大変良かった。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for participating.
Wild dolphins may be found in different locations depending on the day, so it is possible to encounter them in shallow waters, but usually, snorkeling takes place a certain distance offshore.
When there are several opportunities to snorkel with dolphins, you can drop into the water each time, but it is also perfectly fine to stay on the boat according to your condition.
I apologize for any lack of guidance.

Mahalo

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

Encountered a pod of dolphins. イルカの群れに遭遇

Reviewed by: uk.

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.

I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.

In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。

前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。

クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。

This time, not only the participants from Dolphin University but also the middle school participants went on the same boat! It was disappointing that there were more people than last time and that the activities and hula dance time were shorter.
However, the crew worked hard to entertain the participants, and I was moved to see dolphins up close!!! Although the activity time was short, I had a great time! Thank you very much! (^ ^)

今回はイルカ大学の参加者だけでなく、中学の参加者も同じ船で行きました!前回よりも人数が多かったのと、アクティビティやフラダンスの時間が短くなってたことが残念でした。
でも、クルーは参加者を楽しませようと頑張ってくれて、イルカにもすっごい近くで会えて、感動しました!!!アクティビティも時間は少なかったけど、楽しみました!ありがとうございましたー(^ ^)
