I only saw a dolphin for a moment, and I didn't get to meet any turtles at the snorkeling spot... what a shame! I guess it's just the nature of dealing with wild animals. I'll try again for a revenge trip! I'm grateful for the cheerful staff and their thoughtfulness♪
イルカは一瞬みれただけ、シュノーケルスポットはカメに会えず…残念!野生の生き物相手なのでしょうがない。またリベンジします! スタッフの皆様の陽気と心づかいに感謝です♪

I was able to properly meet the dolphins. The guide was very powerful and led us right to where the dolphins were. My daughter participated as well and managed to keep up. It’s quite hard, so I think it would be tough if you don’t get a good night's sleep the night before.
イルカにきちんと会えました。
ガイドさんがとってもパワフルで、しっかりイルカのいるところへ導いてくれました。
娘も参加して、なんとかついていけました。
結構ハードなので、前日しっかり睡眠とらないと大変だと思います。

My stay at the Kahala Hotel was an early start with a 5 AM pickup, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful memory. The guide, Takao, provided a very clear and persuasive tour, which added a great "flavor" to the experience. As a snorkeling beginner in my fifties, I initially struggled to keep up with everyone in search of dolphins, but the support from the staff was very reassuring. Eventually, I got the hang of it and was able to meet the dolphins and sea turtles, which felt amazing. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this tour.
カハラホテル滞在であり、5時ピックアップと早起きでしたが、大変素晴らしい思い出となりました。ガイドのTAKAOさんの大変わかりやすく説得力のあるガイドもツアーのよき「味付け」となっていました。シュノーケリング初心者のアラフィフであり、最初はなかなか慣れずにイルカを求めてあっちこっちに皆さんについていくのが大変でしたが、スタッフのサポートもあり、大変心強かったです。そのうちに慣れてきてイルカさんやウミガメさんにも無事合えて、大変気持ちよかったです。またハワイに行けたら、必ず参加したいと思います。

We are very happy that it became a wonderful memory during your stay in Hawaii. Thank you.

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.
11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great. From the bus ride, the staff provided detailed explanations about life jackets and safety points for the sea, which gave us a sense of security. As soon as we arrived at the port, we boarded a two-story boat. It had a restroom and was a splendid vessel. The fins and equipment were relatively new and clean. The captain took us to the right spot, and with the encouragement of the staff, we jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away in the distance, but on the second try, we encountered a wonderful pod and swam so close to the dolphins that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, losing track of time in the moment. We also danced hula together and during snorkeling time, we even saw turtles. It was a day of great satisfaction.
家族4人で参加しました。お天気は良好。行きのバスからスタッフの方が、ライフジャケットや海での注意点を細かく説明して下さり、安心感がありました。港に着いてすぐに2階建てのボートに乗りました。トイレもあり、立派な船でした。フィンや道具は新しめで綺麗でした。船長さんがここというポイントに連れて行って下さり、スタッフの方々の掛け声で海に飛び込みます。初めの一回は残念ながらイルカは遠くに泳いで行ってしまいましたが、2回目にすばらしい群れに会えて、イルカと手が届きそうな近さで泳ぎ時間を忘れるひと時でした。
フラダンスをみんなで踊ったり、シュノーケリングタイムには亀にも会えました。大満足の一日でした。

Our experience from start to finish was exceptional! The shuttle ride started with a wonderful ride from Emanual- she was friendly and conversational, making our time feel like it was spent with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the Island and told us interesting things. She suggested we rent a car and we did- the next day! Thanks Em so worth it! On the boat Em and Captain Jenna were wonderful. Our teenager got a little sick but they didn't give up on her, with their words of encouragement and support we set sail. Our 8 year old was afraid and because of you two ladies she got in and snorkeled with an 80year old turltle. Words can express that magic of that experience! We are eagerly anticipating the pictures photographer Paul took. Your attention to detail and obvious dedication to your craft is remarkable. Thank you team dolphin excursion for loving what you do and sharing that with my family. Mahalo!

There are some things that can't be helped since it's nature, but I was able to encounter dolphins, although I only saw their dorsal fins. I couldn't see them swimming around in the water. I got my hopes up because the experience photos showed Masala donuts. We departed early in the morning without having time for a satisfying meal before boarding. There were no drinks or snacks during the ride, and we finally got a light meal around 11 o'clock, which included hamburgers, drinks, and snacks. Maybe I was expecting too much from the dolphins and the food.
自然が相手なので仕方ないところもあるけど、イルカと遭遇出来たけど、イルカの背びれは見えただけ。海の中を泳ぎ回るところまでは見ることが出来なかった。体験談の写真ではマサラダドーナツが映ったりしていたので期待しちゃいました。早朝出発で満足な食事をとる時間もないままに乗船。
乗船中のドリンクやスナックはなく、11時頃の軽食でやっとハンバーガーとドリンク、スナックが出された。イルカやフードに期待しすぎちゃったかな。

The cheerful guide, who was a second-generation Japanese-American captain, mostly had foreign guests, but afterwards, he kindly interpreted for the Japanese customers, making it easy to understand. The boat was a yacht type, allowing us to fully enjoy the resort atmosphere. After seeing dolphins, I was delighted to spot sea turtles swimming at a depth of about 10 meters during snorkeling. There was not enough time during lunchtime, so a lot of food was left over, which felt wasteful. It's better to start eating right after snorkeling. I was shocked to find that other coupons offered the same tour at a lower price than what I had booked, but the tour itself was very good, so I highly recommend it!
日系2世の船長さんの陽気なガイドで、お客さんはほとんど外国人の方でしたが、そのあと日本人客向けに丁寧に通訳してくださり、よくわかりました。
船もヨットタイプでリゾート気分満喫。
イルカを見たあと、シュノーケリング場所では水深10メートル程のところに海亀も泳いでいるのが見えて嬉しかったです。
ランチタイムは時間が少ないので沢山食べ物が余ってしまって勿体なかったです。シュノーケリングが終わったらすぐに食べはじめたほうがいいです。

It seems like it was a very lucky day, as we encountered a pod of dolphins right after departing. We were thrilled to see them jumping on the surface and swimming right below us while we were snorkeling! Since we encountered them early, we had plenty of time with the dolphins. When we moved to another snorkeling spot, we quickly discovered a sea turtle! It came so close that we felt like we could touch it, but there was a rule against touching, so we even yielded the way. The optional photo data sale was $50 for download and $55 for a USB, if I remember correctly. Payment by credit card was possible on the day or during our stay. While the price wasn't cheap, the quality of the hundreds of photos taken by the professional photographer was really high, capturing moments from boarding and the underwater scenery, so it was definitely worth purchasing! It was also fun that the guide and the staff were high-energy and entertaining!
とても運の良い日だったようで、出港してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。海面でジャンプする姿も、シュノーケリングしている私たちの真下を泳ぐ姿も見ることができて大興奮! 早めに遭遇できたためか、イルカとの時間はたっぷりありました。さらに別のシュノーケリングスポットへと場所を変えたら、これまたすぐに海亀を発見!触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれて、でも触ってはいけないルールなので、こちらが道(?)を譲ったほどでした。オプションの写真データ販売は、ダウンロードが$50、USB渡しが$55だったかな? 当日または現地滞在中のクレジットカード払いが可能でした。値段を聞くと安くはありませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが何百枚も撮ってくれた写真は本当にクオリティが高く、乗船時の様子や海中での景色など、本当にたくさんあったので購入して正解でしたよ! ガイドさんを始め、スタッフの方々がハイテンションでおもしろかったのも楽しかったです!!

We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.
After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.
朝の6時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが3頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の1頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。

船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。
写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。
かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。

Julie, Michael, and the other staff members (sorry, I couldn't remember all the names) were all very enthusiastic, and they took care of my son, who was scared to jump into the sea. We were blessed with such great staff, and it was really wonderful.
ジュリーさん、Michealさん、他のスタッフさん(すみません、名前を覚えきれませんでした)、スタッフさん全員ノリノリで、海に飛び込むのを怖がっている息子も気にかけてくれました。
とても良いスタッフさんに恵まれて、とってもよかったです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Junior High! We hope your child had a great time. We look forward to your next visit, MAHALO!!

It was my first time participating, and since it was my first tour to see wild dolphins, I had a great time. However, the content was a bit hard for small children, and I felt it was a little dangerous with too many participants, as fins occasionally hit my face.
初めての参加でしたが、野生のイルカに会えるツアーは初めてだったので楽しかったです。
小さい子供にはちょっとハードな内容だったのと、
参加者母数が少々多く、フィンが顔に当たるなどちょっと危険かなと感じました。
ALOHA! Ururu-sama,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University this time. Since it’s a tour with wild dolphins, there may be days when you have to swim quite a bit depending on the dolphins' mood. However, I'm glad to hear that your children enjoyed it!
Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
MAHALO!

この度はイルカ大学へのご参加ありがとうございました。
野生のイルカとのツアーなので、イルカ先生の気分次第ではしっかりと泳がなければいけない日もございます。
ですが、お子様にもお楽しみいただけたようでよかったです!
またハワイへお越しの際はぜひご参加くださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりおまちしております。

Guide Julie was absolutely amazing!!
Her motto is "always positive," and her attention to detail was perfect. I had an incredibly fun time♪♪
I got to see 50 dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays!
I felt my heart being healed as I made eye contact with the dolphins swimming up close. I will definitely participate again!
ガイドのジュリちゃんがとにかく最高!!
『いつも前向き』をモットーに気配り目配り完璧で、本当に最高に楽しかったです♪♪
50頭のイルカ、ウミガメ、エイにも会えました!
間近で泳ぐイルカと目が合い、心が癒されていくのを感じることができました。また絶対参加します!
Aloha, Mr. Nakagawa,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. It sounds like you had a day where you met 50 dolphins! How amazing that you made eye contact with them! What a lucky experience!

Waianae Beach
The ocean was very clear, and I was truly impressed.
I was able to see many dolphins. Their sounds were also audible, and they were really cute.
Makaha Beach
I went snorkeling and saw many sea turtles and small fish swimming around.
Makaha Beach felt like a place that wasn't a typical tourist spot; it was a laid-back beach that I definitely want to visit again.
After enjoying snorkeling at this beach, you can also try stand-up paddleboarding.
Stand-up paddleboarding was exciting and fun, but there was a bit of a rotation system with the vibe of "Okay, you did one round. You stood up! (Next!)", so I felt there was a bit less freedom.
Even so! I thought it was truly valuable to have that much fun and relax just in the morning.
It had a different atmosphere compared to the typical spots like Waikiki, North Shore, and Kailua. I think it's a direction that we don't often go to on our own, but I highly recommend it. I'm really glad I participated!
イルカ・ワイアナエビーチ
海がとてもクリアで感動しました。
たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
鳴き声も聞こえたりして、本当に可愛かったです。
カメさん・マカハビーチ
海ガメや小さな魚がたくさん泳いでいるところをシュノーケルしました。
マカハビーチは、観光地!という感じではない、
のんびりとしたビーチでぜひまた行きたい思う場所でした。
ここのビーチでシュノーケリングを楽しんだ後はサップができます。
サップは盛り上がって楽しかったのですが、交代制で
「はい、1周したね。立てたね!(次!)」という雰囲気が
なんとな~くあったので
自由度が少なかったように思います。
それでも!午前中だけであれだけ楽しめてのんびり過ごせて本当に価値があると思いました。
ワイキキ・ノースショア・カイルアなど定番のスポットとは一味ちがう雰囲気でした。なかなか自分たちの足では行くことが少ない方面だと思うのですが、すごくお勧めです。本当に参加してよかった!
ALOHA!! Thank you for making a reservation with Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the good old Hawaii on the West Coast. We sincerely apologize for the times when we couldn't provide enough time for everyone to fully enjoy the marine sports, especially on busy days. We hope you will come back to Dolphin University and give SUP another try! Thank you, MAHALO!!

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族4人で参加しました。8月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド(両手首)を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。(バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした!)シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン!と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのバスの中で写真($60)申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました!

I was very happy to meet both Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. The staff were kind and friendly, making for a wonderful experience. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before going.
イルカ先生にも海がめ教授に出会えてとても良かったです。スタッフの方も親切&フレンドリーで素晴らしい体験をすることができました。
船はけっこう揺れたので酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。
Aloha!! Taro,

It was amazing.
I think it depends on the weather that day, but I encountered a lot of dolphins! The sea turtles also passed right in front of me multiple times, which was touching. However, it was sad to see that the tour guests got too close, making it difficult for the turtles to come up for air...
We also signed up with my grandparents, and people of all ages can enjoy it! I hope we are lucky enough to meet dolphins again next time!
最高でした。
その日その時の天候などに左右されると思いますが、とても沢山のイルカに出会えました!
ウミガメも、目の前を何度も通ってくれて感動。ただ、ツアー客の方々が近づき過ぎてウミガメが息継ぎしにくそうでかわいそうでしたが…
お爺ちゃんお婆ちゃんも一緒に申し込みましたが、どの世代も楽しめます!また次もイルカに出会える運に恵まれますように!

It was an early morning tour, but it was so much fun that it completely wiped away any sleepiness, allowing us to experience the beauty of nature. On that day, we were able to see many dolphins! My 7-year-old and 4-year-old were both thrilled. Even my 4-year-old, who snorkeled for the first time, was able to clearly see the dolphins underwater. Luckily, we also got to see a sea turtle gracefully swimming among many tropical fish, which excited the parents as well. When I asked the kids, they said it was the most enjoyable time of the trip.
I definitely want to participate again the next time we go to Hawaii! ✨
朝早くからのツアーでしたが眠気もふっとぶくらい楽しく、自然の素晴らしさを味わえたツアーでした。
当日は沢山のイルカ達に会う事ができました!7才と4才の子供も大興奮。4才の子も初のシュノーケリングでしたが海の中のイルカをしっかり確認。ラッキーな事に沢山の熱帯魚のなかを優雅に泳ぐウミガメを見ることもできました!これには親も大興奮でした。
子供達に聞いてみたら、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかった時間だったようです。
次回もハワイに行く時には是非参加したいと思います✨
