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!

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。

I came to Hawaii with my children to create memories, and I participated to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). We were blessed with great weather and had a wonderful time. We were lucky enough to see a whale as well!
We also went snorkeling, played in the ocean, and enjoyed the slide! One of my kids got seasick and couldn't play, but it all became great memories. The staff were cheerful and kind, and I would love to participate again!

I had previously interacted with dolphins in Japan, but I was drawn to participate in this rare activity where you can swim with wild dolphins! I chose this tour particularly because of its 30 years of experience and the presence of Japanese staff, and it was definitely the right choice!! From the pick-up, the energetic Japanese staff elevated our spirits and made the tour exciting. Once we got on the boat, the foreign staff were all friendly, making it a fun experience from start to finish!
The wild dolphins exceeded my expectations, swimming beneath us in incredible numbers and coming back to us multiple times! On that day, they even showcased spin jumps! After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, where we encountered sea turtles and were able to swim with them. On the return boat ride, we even spotted whales that were in Hawaii during this season!
The staff promptly pointed out the dolphins, sea turtles, and whales, so we hardly missed anything! Additionally, we got to play on a slide that goes into the sea, and there was also a hula dance by the staff, making it a luxurious tour that never got boring! It was worth more than the price we paid!!
日本でイルカと触れ合ったことはありましたが、野生のイルカと泳げるという貴重なアクティビティに惹かれ参加しました!特にツアーを始めて30年という実績がある点と日本人スタッフがいる点で選びましたが、大正解でした!!お迎えから気持ちを高めてくれる元気な日本人スタッフさんがツアーを盛り上げてくれ、船に着いてからも外国人スタッフさんもフレンドリーな方ばかりで始終楽しかったです!そして野生のイルカは想像を超える数のイルカが私たちの下を泳いでくれ、何度も来てくれました!この日はスピンジャンプも披露してくれました!その後シュノーケルの場所に移動し、ここでウミガメにも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、帰りの船ではこの時期にハワイにきているクジラにも遭遇できました!
イルカもウミガメもクジラもすぐにスタッフさんが教えてくれるので見逃すことがほとんどありませんでした!
他にも海に飛び込む滑り台で遊べたり、スタッフの方のフラダンスもあり、飽きることのない贅沢なツアーでした!お値段以上の価値がありました!!

The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...
スタッフさんはいつも笑顔で日本語を話せる方もいて、安心して楽しく過ごせました。
朝からテンションも高く楽しかったです。
イルカもクジラも見れて満足でした!
1月の参加だったため寒いかなと思っていましたが、海から上がると想像以上に寒かったです。
小さなお子さんも参加されていましたが、ブルブル震えていてかわいそうだったので、親御さんは防寒用具しっかり持って行った方が良いと思います。
あと船は結構揺れるので普段酔わない人も酔い止めは必須です。酔ったら最悪です!
子供さんが酔ってハンバーガーも食べれずかわいそうでした…
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are glad to hear that you had a fun time, and our staff is happy as well.

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!
There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

I can't say enough about how amazing this crew is and how much fun we had! The boat is so nice with two different net lounge seating areas at the front with seating space inside the cabin as well. We saw so many dolphins and the crew made everyone feel very comfortable snorkeling. They were also great with pointing out all of the different marine life that they found so we even got to see a couple of sea turtles! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a nice day out on the West side!

The weather was cloudy, so I wasn't expecting much from the sea, but I was surprised by the clarity of the water, which was clear enough to see the bottom. We were able to see quite a few dolphins. There were about 100 dolphins, and a group of around 20 swam right beneath us, which was amazing. They also provided support for those who couldn't swim, which was reassuring.
There were about 40 people on the experience, and quite a few (about half were Japanese) got seasick. We were fine because we took medication, but by the second half of the activities, half of the Japanese participants were exhausted and resting.
For safety reasons, canoes were accompanied by staff, and the zup was tethered, which was a bit disappointing, but I think it's necessary because the sea can be dangerous.
On the way back, we were able to watch and even dance the hula, which was fun. Since the weather was cloudy, having a jacket or towel during breaks was essential. There were women who were shivering from the cold.
It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit! It helps with the cold, but also protects against jellyfish stings. Even though it wasn't jellyfish season, I unfortunately got stung in several places.
天候は曇りだったので、海期待していなかったですが入ってみたら底が見える程の透明度で驚いた。そしてかなりの数のイルカを見ることができた。
100頭程いての20頭位の群れが自分達の下を泳いでるのには感度しました。
見れない人泳げないに対してのサポートもしてくれたので安心です。
体験には40人程いてかなりの人(日本人5割位)が船酔いしていました。自分達は薬飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、後半のアクティビティでは日本人の半数はグッタリして休んでいました。
安全上カヌーはスタッフ同伴、ザップは紐で固定されていて少し残念でしたが、海は怖いので必要だと思います。
帰りにフラダンスも見れたり一緒に踊ったりできて楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったので、終わった後や休憩中の上着やタオルは必須です。女性で寒くて震えている人もいました。
ウエットスーツは借りたほうが絶対にいいです!寒さ凌げるのもありますが、クラゲに刺されます。クラゲの時期ではないにも関わらず運悪く何ヶ所も刺されました。

Dolphins swam leisurely right beneath us. We were able to see turtles up close, and at the snorkeling point, the coral was more alive than I expected⭐︎ The staff were kind, and we enjoyed a hula dance as well. I would love to participate again.
One disappointing thing was that, despite the explanation not to use spray sunscreen because it harms the marine environment, there were customers who used it without concern. I hope that users will follow the rules to protect Hawaii's beautiful ocean.

This was my second time participating. I had made a reservation for Christmas, which thankfully was still being held, but it was canceled due to bad weather. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to another day and participate.
The boat had changed since my last visit, and it had been upgraded in various ways! Unlike Mikurajima, it was disappointing that diving was prohibited where the dolphins were, so we could only watch from above, but I was glad to see them multiple times.
Since it was a busy season, there were many participants, and I noticed several people getting bruised from bumping into each other while swimming. There were also quite a few people feeling seasick. Taking precautions is important.
It was disappointing that I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling this time, but the crew was great at keeping the energy up, and the hula was wonderful, so it was definitely worth participating!
2回目の参加でした。
クリスマスもありがたいことに催行されていたので予約していたのですが悪天候のためキャンセルになりました。運良く別の日に調整できて参加できました。
前回から船も変わっていて、色々とパワーアップしていました!
御蔵島と違い、イルカがいるところでは潜るのが禁止だったので上から見るだけなのが残念でしたが、何度も見られたので良かったです。
繁忙期なので参加者が多く、一緒に泳ぐのでぶつかってあざになっている方が多く見られました。あと船酔いしてる方も多々見られました。対策は重要です。
今回はシュノーケリングで亀が見られなかったのが残念でしたが、クルーのかたが盛り上げ上手で、フラも素敵でしたし、参加した甲斐ありました!

It was hard to get up in the morning while traveling, but thanks to that, I was able to spend a fulfilling morning.
The scenery was amazing.
Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, two adorable dolphins swam alongside our boat for a while, which was very soothing.
Important note!! Many people suffered from seasickness. It's essential to take motion sickness medication from places like ABC Mart beforehand.
We also took the motion sickness medication we got from ABC Mart as soon as we woke up, and we had no problems at all. Oh, I felt a little nauseous on the way back, though.
The staff were incredibly cute and enthusiastic!!
Even if you can't meet the dolphins, you can still have a great time.

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪
個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!
However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.
It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました!今回もイルカもカメも見れました!スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした!
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
12月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…?冬で波が高いとかですかね?普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.

There's no guarantee that you'll definitely see dolphins, but I did.
First of all, it was tough getting up early, but there is a shuttle service to take you close to the departure point. There were quite a few Japanese people, and with a Japanese guide, I had nothing to worry about.
- Even if you usually don’t get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I usually don’t get seasick, but even with medication, I felt nauseous towards the end. The boat sways so much that you can’t stand unless it’s anchored somewhere. The waves were high, and just floating in the water made me feel sick. There’s a toilet on the boat, so you can throw up without worrying about others (there are special bags available). They were selling motion sickness bands, but it seems to vary from person to person...
- If you can’t swim, don’t worry. I hadn’t swum in years and had no experience with snorkeling, so I was anxious, but they give you a briefing before swimming, and you wear a life jacket, so you definitely won’t sink. I felt very safe while snorkeling.
- It’s quite cold, so I think it’s better to rent a wetsuit. If you want to swim in a cute swimsuit, you’ll definitely need a cover-up and a towel.
- It was nice to have light snacks. They provided pineapple, snacks, and cheeseburgers to refresh your palate. For those who got seasick, the cheeseburger was a bit much, but they also give you a takeout bag. I got sick, so the pineapple and lemon water helped me.
- The crew performed a hula dance and were very lively, making it a fun and exciting experience.
I was able to see dolphins during my second snorkeling session. Since dolphins are fast, I found that sticking closely to the crew was key to seeing them. Swimming with a pod of dolphins was an indescribable experience. I even saw a baby dolphin. While watching from the boat, I saw them do spin jumps. I also caught a glimpse of a whale. It was moving to connect with nature.
After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we could freely play on slides and boats. There were turtles and lots of tropical fish.
I feel a bit guilty saying this, but if you board the boat last, you can sit towards the back. Being at the back means you get to enter the water first, so I was able to closely follow the crew and see the dolphins. There were some people who didn’t see any dolphins this time, but it really depends on timing.
You can’t take pictures with the dolphins or turtles; you need to keep your distance. It’s all about observing from afar. I did feel nauseous towards the end, but until then, I had a great time, so I have no complaints about this tour. All my anxieties were resolved, and I was able to participate! It was a safe, secure, and very enjoyable experience! If you’re considering joining, I highly recommend it! Just make sure to take precautions against motion sickness!
イルカに必ず会える保証はないですが、会えました。
まず早朝でしんどいですが近くまで送迎があります。結構日本人が多く、日本人ガイドもいて何も心配ありませんでした。
・普段酔わない方も酔い止め必須。普段酔いやすい私が酔い止めのんでも終盤吐きました。船がどこかにつかまらないと立っていられないくらい揺れます。波も高いので泳いで浮いてるだけでも酔いました。船にトイレもあるので人目を気にせずに吐けます(専用の袋があります)
酔い止めバンドを販売していましたが個人差があるみたいです…
・泳げない人でも大丈夫。何年も泳いだことない、シュノーケリング未経験な私は不安でしたが泳ぐ前にレクチャーしてくれるし、ライフジャケット着るので絶対に沈みません。とても安心してシュノーケリングできました。
・かなり寒いのでウェットスーツレンタルした方がいいと思います。可愛く水着で泳ぎたい方は上着とタオル必須です。
・軽食つきが有難い。お口直しのパイナップル、スナック、チーズバーガーが配られます。酔った人にチーズバーガーは追い討ちでしたがもちろんテイクアウト用の袋もくれます。私は酔ったのでパイナップル、レモンウォーターに助けられました。
・クルーがフラダンス披露してくれたり、ノリノリなのでとてもワクワク楽しいです。
イルカを2回目のシュノーケリングで見ることができました。イルカは早いのでしっかりクルーの先頭についていく事が見るコツかなぁと。群れで泳ぐイルカはなんとも言えない感動でした。子供のイルカもみれました。また船からもウォッチングしていたらスピンジャンプしてくれました。少しだけクジラも見ることができました。自然に触れられて感動です。
その後シュノーケリングする場所へ移動し、滑り台やボートなど自由に遊べます。カメもいましたし、熱帯魚がたくさんいました。
こんな事を書くとずるいですが、船に乗る時、最後にのると船の後ろらへんに座れます。後ろにいると海に入るのが先になるのでクルーにしっかりついていってイルカを見ることができました。今回はいませんでしたが、中には見れない人もいるみたいです。本当にタイミングです。
またイルカやカメと写真が撮れる、ということはないです。近寄ったりはダメなので。あくまでも遠くから見る、という感じです。
私は終盤によって吐きましたが、それまではとても楽しかったのでこのツアー文句ナシです。
私の不安も全部解消されて参加できました!安心、安全、とっても楽しい経験でした!
参加を検討されてる方、是非した方がいいですよ!
必ず酔い止め対策は誰でもしてくださいね!

The dolphins were slow to appear, and just as we were starting to feel discouraged, the cheerful hula dance by the crew got everyone excited, and then the dolphins showed up! We couldn't swim with them due to time constraints, but we were able to see many dolphins from the boat, including some jumping! It was a group of three ladies, and we had a great time with our first kayaking, waterslide, and snorkeling experience. One of us was worried about seasickness, but the anti-nausea bracelet we bought on the shuttle bus was very effective! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the crew was kind and fun, making it an amazing experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

I participated in late November.
I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.
I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.
I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.
If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.
11月下旬に参加。
時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。
船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります!
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。
船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。
イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい!という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.
The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.
I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.
At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^
集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。
船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑
いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。
最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^

I saw dolphins a few times. It might be a luxury, but this is my evaluation of the tour.
First, make sure to arrive early when boarding the boat. The staff will ask you to fill in from the back, but those who know will sit in the front.
Sitting in the front makes it easier to secure a spot near the staff who are aware of where the dolphins are, as people in the front will jump into the sea first.
Also, it’s inconvenient if there’s no basket for your belongings under you, so try to sit where there is a basket.
You will inevitably have to swim close to the staff. Other guests may kick you or push you aside, but keep moving forward without giving up.
After seeing the dolphins, the staff will say, “Those who haven’t seen a dolphin yet, please come to the front,” but those who are at a distance where they can’t see the dolphins at that point cannot move forward.
This is because those who have seen the dolphins do not give up their spots.
The staff warns not to touch the dolphins beforehand, but even when someone tried to touch them, they didn’t seem to pay much attention.
It’s possible that the group I participated in had a lot of people, and that’s why there were such guests.
At the very least, I felt that it was an unfair tour where some people could see many dolphins while others could not, even though we all paid the same amount.
I don’t think the number of people who can board the boat is the same as the number of people who can enjoy the tour.
It’s dangerous to be kicked by fins, and I think it would have been better to sign up for an experience where you can swim with dolphins at an aquarium instead of insisting on wild dolphins.
イルカは数回、見えました。
贅沢かもしれませんが、それでもツアーとしては
この評価です。
まず、船に乗る際は早めに行きましょう。
スタッフに奥から詰めるように言われますが
分かっている人は手前に座ります。
手前に座っている人から海に飛び込むため
イルカの場所を把握しているスタッフさんの
近くの場所を確保しやすいからです。
また、自分の下に荷物のかごがないと不便なので
下にかごがある場所に座りましょう。
スタッフさんの近くまで泳ぐのは必至で泳ぎます。
他のお客さんに蹴られますし、手で押しのけられますが負けずに進みましょう。
イルカを見た後スタッフの方が
「一度もイルカを見ていない人は前に」といいますが
その時点でイルカが見えない距離にいる人は
前に行けません。
イルカを見た人が前を譲らないからです。
イルカには触らないようにとスタッフの方が事前に注意していますが
触ろうとした人がいても、特に注意をしていませんでした。
私が参加した回が人数が多く、たまたまそういうお客さんだった
可能性もありますが、
すくなくとも、同じお金を払い同じ回に参加したとしても
たくさん見れる人と見れない人がいる不公平なツアーだと感じました。
船に乗れる人数とツアーを楽しめる人数は同じではないと思います。
フィンのついた足で蹴られるので危ないですし
別に野生のイルカにこだわらなくても
水族館のイルカと泳げるものに申し込んだ方がよかったと思っています。

The welcoming and the explanations after boarding were handled by a refreshing, handsome Japanese staff member, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. It had been 20 years since I last swam, but thanks to the life jacket and the fins for my feet, I felt no anxiety. I was moved to encounter a large group of dolphins on both occasions. When I heard, "Look down at the sea! Dolphins!" and put my face in the water, I saw dozens of them swimming so close that I could almost touch them. We took plenty of photos with our phones in waterproof covers, and the videos of the dolphins turned out beautifully. Snorkeling was also amazing; I encountered sea turtles and got to experience the slide and stand-up paddleboarding, which was the best. The taro cheese burger was delicious too. When I made the reservation, I thought the price was a bit high, but considering it included the life jacket, snorkeling gear, a hamburger, and drinks, and especially the crew who made it fun, it was a very satisfying tour.
お迎え、乗船後の説明などずっと日本人の爽やかイケメンが担当してくれたので安心して楽しめました。
20年ぶりのスイミングでしたがライフジャケットと足に着けるフィンのお陰で不安に感じることなく、2回ともイルカの大群に出会えて感動しました。
「海側下見て!イルカ!」との声で海に顔をつけると、
本当に手に触れそうな近距離で何十頭が泳いでいきましたよ。
写真は自分達で防水カバーに入れた携帯でバシバシ撮って十分でしたし、イルカの動画も綺麗に撮れました。シュノーケリングも海亀に出会え、滑り台、スタンディングパドルも体験できて最高でした。
タロ芋チーズバーガーも美味しかったですよ。
予約する時はちょっと値段が高いかなぁと思いましたが、ライフジャケット、シュノーケリングセット込みでハンバーガー飲み物付き、何よりクルーが楽しませてくれてとても満足できたツアーでした。

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.
The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.
The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.
せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。
写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・
ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.

We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.
It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.
I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!
However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.
Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.
The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!
私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。
義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。

My third-grade daughter also participated. I was a bit worried because she isn't very good at swimming, but she was full of curiosity and I had no worries at all. We offered a prayer and headed to the spot on a beautiful boat. We jumped into the sea and followed the leader! We swam quite a bit and got to see some adorable dolphins. This became the best memory of our trip. Floating in the sea, swimming, and gazing at the island was so healing. The staff kept saying that this is the real Hawaii. I want to participate again.

We participated as a family of three (a couple and our 13-year-old daughter) who loves snorkeling and dolphins. When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we could see dolphin fins from the boat, and we even saw them jumping! That alone brought us so much joy.
There were about 70 participants that day. Before joining, I checked reviews that suggested staying close to the guide in the water, so we made sure to keep near them. When a pod of dolphins appeared, the guide shouted out directions, and we were able to see the dolphins... it was truly moving! Underwater, we could even hear the sounds of the dolphins. I didn't notice, but my daughter exclaimed that she saw a mother and baby dolphin!
We were lucky enough to see the pod multiple times, which was amazing. According to the guide, it was rare to see them that often. After that, we moved to a spot with turtles for snorkeling, but unfortunately, we couldn't swim with them. However, we did encounter a turtle that surfaced on our way back to the port, which made us very satisfied.
The tour content was very satisfying. A few points to note:
1. Take motion sickness medication beforehand.
2. We participated in August, but if you're sensitive to cold, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I wore tights and a rash guard, but I was freezing and couldn't stop shaking after getting out of the water.
3. The return bus was quite cold, so it's essential to prepare for that.
シュノーケルもイルカも大好きな家族3人で参加(夫婦、13歳女子)しました。シュノーケルポイントにつくと船上からイルカの背びれが見え、ジャンプする姿も・・・!もうそれだけで喜びが。
当日の参加者は70人と大人数。参加前に口コミ情報をチェックしたら、海ではガイドさんの近くにいるようにとあったのでガイドさんの近くをキープ。
イルカの群れが現れると大声で声掛けしてくれるのでその方向をみるとイルカの群れが・・・感動です!!水中ではイルカの声?も聞こえました。私は気づきませんでしたが、娘は親子のイルカがいた~!と。
一度だけではなく、何度もイルカの群れを見れて本当に最高でした。ガイドさんいわく、こんなに何度も見れるのはラッキーだったそうです。
その後カメのいるポイントに移動してシュノーケルしましたが、残念ながらカメと泳ぐことはできませんでした。(港に帰る途中でカメが水上へ現れたのに遭遇できたので気分的には大満足)
ツアーの内容は大満足でした。
注意点としては
①酔い止めを飲んでおく。
②8月参加でしたが冷え性の人はウエットスーツをレンタルしたほうがいいかも。(私はタイツとラッシュガードでしたが海からあがったら寒くて手の震えがとまらなかったです。)
③帰りのバスはかなり寒いので防寒対策必至です。
