I participated with the goal of doing a dolphin swim. On the day of the event, I was able to complete both programs: ① dolphin swim and ② snorkeling in shallow waters.
All the staff members were kind, polite, and dedicated. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries during the explanations. This is one of the best activities among the many available in Hawaii!
ドルフィンスイムを目標として参加致しました。
当日は、
①ドルフィンスイム②浅瀬でのシュノーケリング
というプログラムで、①については確率にはなりますが、①.②ともクリアできました。
スタッフのみなさん全員親切丁寧で全力です。
日本人のスタッフさんもいる為、説明の際の不安等は不要でした。

I was able to see two types of dolphins and also met a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied. Since I can't speak English, the Japanese staff (Hayato and Ken) were very helpful. I was worried about seasickness, and that day the wind was strong, so I did get seasick, but I am grateful for the very caring support I received. The sandwich we had at the end was also delicious. It was the best tour. I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much!!
イルカは2種類見れて、ウミガメに会う事も出来とても満足しています。
英語が話せないので、日本人スタッフ(ハヤト&ケンさん)にとても助けて頂きました。

Aloha, Saya!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
It was lucky to encounter two types of dolphins in one day, as that is rare! I heard that you experienced seasickness due to the strong winds; I hope you recovered quickly after the tour. Travel fatigue and the weather can make one more susceptible to seasickness. Please take anti-nausea medication and get plenty of rest to ensure you're in great shape for your next dolphin encounter! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. A hui hou and big mahalo!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Originally, we had booked with another company, but due to a ship malfunction, it was suddenly canceled. We made a last-minute reservation here, and I'm glad we did because there aren't many tours where you can swim with dolphins. From the pick-up to the end of the tour, a Japanese staff member was with us, always being attentive while we swam in the ocean. The other staff members were also kind, making it a very enjoyable tour. It was a wonderful experience to swim closely with the dolphins. Thank you very much.

Was it fully booked on the day? There were a lot of people on board. The guides (Ken and two others whose names I forgot, I'm sorry...) were very kind and it was a lot of fun!
I was very satisfied to encounter dolphins on the first try, but on the second try, there were dolphins everywhere I looked, and I got to see them swimming close to the surface as well as underwater! The guides mentioned that it was a very lucky experience, exceeding our expectations!
After that, we also saw sea turtles, making it an incredibly satisfying tour! My dream of swimming with dolphins came true! Although it felt more like watching than swimming, haha. Thank you very much!

Waking up early and heading to the port! They provide explanations in both English and Japanese on the boat. With Minako-san there, Japanese participants feel very at ease!
We participated as a pair and took motion sickness medication before joining! We enjoyed ourselves without feeling seasick, but there were some who couldn't enjoy snorkeling because they got sick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication!
We encountered dolphins right after departing! We had a great dolphin watching experience!
After that, we went further in to swim and found more dolphins! I have snorkeling experience, but my partner does not! They said it was fine to just observe on the first trip, but we jumped right in!
No problem at all! Even beginners receive thorough explanations and are guided in the water, so there's nothing to worry about!
We were able to see wild dolphins underwater! After that, we had planned for a second trip, but...
We couldn't match with the dolphins easily, as they are wild. In the end, we went to the shallow area for snorkeling! So, it's better to meet the dolphins while you can! Since it's nature and wild, don't miss your chance!
There are warm water showers on the boat, and you can change in the restroom, so bring something easy to change into, like a warm hoodie! It's cold!
Even with hot drinks, it's still chilly!
Card payments are accepted, so cash is mainly for tips!
Overall, it was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again!

You can be picked up by bus from the main hotel and taken to the boat. There are Japanese staff members, so it's reassuring. When I participated, dolphins swam around the boat during the round trip, and I was able to snorkel and swim together twice. If you get tired or feel unwell, you can wait on the boat. The return trip was quicker than I expected, so there was little time loss. The only impression I had was that the air conditioning was a bit cold since you ride the bus back while still wet, but other than that, I was very satisfied. Thank you!

I was very satisfied to see dolphins, sea turtles, and many beautiful fish. The staff were professional and very efficient, making it a fun experience without any dull moments.
The shuttle bus arrived right on time. The boat was equipped with warm showers and toilets, and the lunch sandwiches were much tastier than I expected, plus they served warm drinks at the end.
There is an experienced Japanese interpreter, so even those who cannot speak English can feel at ease. Since the boat can be quite rocky, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and enjoying the view of the mountains. It gets chilly after coming out of the water, so it's a good idea to bring warm clothing (like a jacket and pants). The wetsuits are easy to put on and it gets quite cold, so I think renting one is a good idea!
Thank you so much to Shanti, Stefan, Minako, Tara, Yuya, Laura, Lauren, Tim, and Parker (sorry if I missed anyone… all the staff on board were perfect!) for the wonderful memories.

The experience from the shuttle pick up/drop off to guidance and snorkeling are exceptional and amazing. We experienced as it detailed on the booking website.
After booking, I received the picture of the pickup location which is easy to find. Keep your eye to find the shuttle van, he parked across the street when there were 3 coach bus parked in front of the entrance. The van showed up on time and could fit up to 14 people. The van is clean, comfortable seating, and good AC. The driver introduced the Electric Beach and talked about the places.
After dropping off, the driver introduced Jose and Jorge who were the snorkeling guides. They are very friendly and acknowledged. One of my friend did not confident to swim in the ocean, but she trusted Jose and went to the water with us. Jose and Jorge made sure everyone stick together under their guidance. All the gears (snorkeling masks, fins, life jackets, jet machines) were provided. Jorge had his GoPro to record the fun moment and shared to us at the end.
My group loves this experience as many of us had no swimming experience but Jose and Jorge made it easy, fun, and safe.

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。
Thank you Tittha!!

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.
When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.
イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。

My childhood dream was to swim with wild dolphins. Before I knew it, I had progressed in swimming to the point where I could participate in national competitions.
Dolphin University made that dream come true for me. Staff member MAKI provided us beginners with thorough and entertaining explanations, complete with jokes, which brought smiles to the faces of the Japanese participants!
And I underestimated the sea. I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life here.
On the boat, there was unlimited drinking water and hot water, but at that moment when I could barely stand… MAKI brought drinks around, and I was so touched by that perfect timing. Additionally, she shared gum to help with the nausea and regularly checked in on us, providing excellent care that made my seasickness much better, allowing me to enjoy swimming with the dolphins.
Thanks to MAKI and my experience at Dolphin University, I learned so much about the importance of nature, the value of living creatures, and the joy and excitement of the sea. I truly feel lucky.
For participants, you can learn the Japanese joke for free from MAKI.
Thank you for the unforgettable memories. Next time, I will definitely participate again!
私の子供の頃の夢は『野生のイルカと泳ぐこと』
そのために始めたスイミングも気付けば全国大会に出れる程にまでなりました。笑
そんな私の夢を叶えてくれたイルカ大学。
スタッフのMAKIさんが初心者の私たちへの丁寧で面白いギャグ込みの説明をしてくれ日本人参加者たちのお顔も笑顔に!
そしてナメてました海。
船酔いです。
人生初の嘔吐もここで経験させて頂きました
船内には飲み放題のお水やお湯があるのですが、立つことも辛くなってしまったそのとき…MAKIさんが周りに飲み物を持ってきてくれて、そのベストタイミングに感激でした
そしてそれ以外にも(酔いを紛らわす為の)ガムを分けてくださったり、定期的に声をかけてくださったりととても手厚いケアに、船酔いもかなり良くなり楽しくイルカと泳げました
スタッフのMAKIさん、そしてイルカ大学での経験から、自然の大切さや生き物の尊さ、海の楽しさや感動など多くの事を学ばせて頂けた私は本当ラッキーです。

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for a week with my family (my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me). We also participated in a dolphin tour for the first time.
The meeting time was early at 5:30 AM in front of our hotel, but it was manageable if we went to bed early the night before.
I was worried about the weather since it had been changing from rain to sunshine up until the day before, but fortunately, it cleared up, and we were able to set sail.
I tend to get motion sickness and took medication, but I ended up getting sick five times. A few others on the tour also experienced this. I regretted not taking the medication earlier, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.
At the beginning, as we set sail, we all participated in a traditional Hawaiian prayer in Hawaiian, asking for safety on our journey and to encounter dolphins, while throwing plumeria flowers into the sea. At that moment, the sun broke through the cloudy sky, and it felt like we had received permission, creating a magical atmosphere!
A wetsuit is a must! I recommend purchasing one as an option.
When we spotted dolphins, I was feeling unwell and stayed on the boat, but my husband and daughter put on their snorkels and entered the water. Since it was her first time using goggles, our daughter panicked at one point, but a female guide who spoke Japanese and had a license supported her. Although they couldn't swim close to the dolphins on their first try, I could see them from the boat despite feeling sick. My husband said it was his first experience in waters 1,000 meters deep, and although it was scary, he had a lot of fun!
After that, we encountered various marine creatures! We saw a whale spouting water, dolphins, and a baby hammerhead shark...
The tour guide informed us about the creatures we encountered:
- False killer whale
- Spotted dolphin
- Hammerhead shark
- Green sea turtle
- Humpback whale (spouting in the distance)
Afterward, we had a great time snorkeling and playing on the slide in an area with calmer waves.
I would love to participate again for a rematch. Thank you very much!
Even though I felt sick, I was truly able to encounter many marine creatures in the magnificent nature of Oahu, and the staff provided a lot of support. Having a Japanese-speaking guide was really helpful. I am grateful for that.
今回 初めてのハワイで家族(私、主人、娘10歳)1週間滞在。イルカツアーも初めて参加しました。
朝 宿泊ホテル前に集合時間5時半と早いのですが、前日早く寝てれば大丈夫です。
前日まで雨降ったり晴れたりコロコロと天気が変わって心配しましたが、無事晴れて出航できました。
私は乗り物酔いしやすく薬を飲みましたが、リバース5回もしました。他の方も何人かいました。早めに飲み薬を飲めば良かったかな?と後悔しましたが、仕方ない事だと思います。
最初、出航し皆んなで海と自然、旅の安全、イルカに出会えるようにお願いする気持ちで、ハワイの伝統的なお祈りの儀式をハワイ語で言い
プルメリアの花を海に投げました。
そしたら、曇ってた空から太陽が当たって許可された様な気分になり幻想的な空間でした!!
ウエットスーツは必須です!!オプションで購入した方がおすすめです。
イルカを発見し
私は気持ち悪く船の中にいましたが、
主人と娘は、シュノーケルをつけて海に入りました。娘はゴーグルが初めてだった為途中 パニックになってましたが、日本語ガイドしてくれた女性がライセンスを持っていて娘をサポートしてくれました。1回目はイルカの近くで泳げませんでしたが、
私は気持ち悪いけど、船の上からは、イルカが見えました。主人は水深1,000メートルの沖合なんて初めての経験で怖かったけど本当に楽しかった!!と言っておりました。
その後、色々な海洋生物に出会えました!!クジラが潮を吹いてたりイルカ、子供のハンマーヘッドシャーク…
ツアーの方から教えていただいた
出会った生き物:
コビレゴンドウ
マダライルカ
ハンマーヘッドシャーク
アオウミガメ
ザトウクジラ(遠くに潮吹き)
そのあと波の少ない場所でシュノーケルとスライダーでたくさん遊べました。
またリベンジで参加したいと思っております。
ありがとうございました!!
気持ち悪くても本当にオアフ島の雄大な自然の中で沢山の海洋生物と遭遇することが出来、スタッフの方々も色々とサポートしてくれました。日本語ガイドの方もいて本当に助かりました。感謝しております。

The staff really got everyone excited, and I was able to enjoy it more than I expected. It was my first time, and it was my wife's third, but we were very satisfied to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat and to spot humpback whales multiple times, which is a rare experience.
Although I couldn't swim with the dolphins, I was able to swim with turtles during the snorkeling session, and it was also great to experience the waterslide and stand-up paddleboarding.
I will definitely come again. Thank you for today.
スタッフの方が盛り上げてくださり、予想以上に楽しむことができました。私は初めてで、妻は3回目でしたが、イルカが船の先頭で伴奏したり、今ならではの、ザトウクジラを何回も見ることができて、非常に満足です。
イルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、シュノーケルのタイミングでは亀と一緒に泳ぐことができたり、ウォータースライダーやサップを体験できたことも非常に良かったです。

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.
イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。
あ、でも、それは、私は過去にハワイとグアムで2回、イルカを観る事が
できたからかも知れません。

Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. We are very happy to hear that you consider it one of the best activities among the many in Hawaii. Thank you! It seems that it took a little time to find the dolphins on the day you participated, but you were able to see the spinner dolphins swimming near the coast from the boat and swim with the bottlenose dolphins offshore! There will always be support from a Japanese guide, so please be sure to join us when you come to Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you from the bottom of our hearts. A hui hou and mahalo nui!
