I had made a reservation at Dolphin Middle School, but due to adjustments in the number of participants, I ended up joining Dolphin University.
As soon as we headed out to sea, we spotted a whale! (Is it seasonal?), and within about 10 minutes of searching for dolphins, we found some! We dove in twice to get ahead of them. The excitement of having dolphins swimming close by was incredible, and the beauty of the ocean was even more breathtaking!
After that, we moved to a slightly shallower area where we enjoyed snorkeling and relaxed on floating mats, fully savoring the waters of Hawaii. Thanks to the change to Dolphin University, we were also lucky enough to see beautiful fish!
From the morning gathering until the end, there was a Japanese guide with us, which provided a great sense of reassurance! I highly recommend it!
イルカ中学で予約してましたが人数調整でイルカ大学への参加になりました。
海に出てすぐにクジラを発見!(季節による?)、イルカも探し始めて10分程で発見!
先回りして2回ダイブしました。
イルカが近くで泳いでいる感動はもちろん、海が綺麗すぎてさらに感動!
その後は少し浅めの場所に移動し、シュノーケリングしたり、海に浮かせたマットの上でゆっくりしたりとハワイの海を満喫できました。
イルカ大学に変更になったおかげで綺麗な魚も見れてラッキーでした!
朝の集合から最後まで日本人のガイドさんが居てくれて安心感もバッチリでした!

酔い止め必須!
寒いから借りましたが、ウェットスーツはあってもなくても!(10ドルで借りれました!カード払いでも現金でも可)

Satomi and her group had an amazing time, and the live music on the boat was wonderful! It was a bit chilly, but we could do as much snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as we wanted! The fish were so big that it was a little intimidating. Seeing the black and fast sea turtles in person was like heaven.

First of all, even at the meeting time, the tour guide did not appear at the meeting place, which made me worried about what to do. When another customer called, we were told to wait, and after a little while past the meeting time, the boat captain came to guide us. However, it was quite a worrying wait for the Japanese guests who had arrived early.
At the beginning, there was an explanation that there are fewer whales at the start of the season. Indeed, the dolphins were so small that it was difficult to distinguish them from whales, but we were able to see some small jumps and their tails. We also saw swimming honu (sea turtles).
The time spent on the boat was enjoyable, and I was glad that we were able to see some whales after all.
まず、集合時間になっても集合場所にツアーの係の人は現れず、どうしたら良いのか心配。別の客が電話すると待てという事で、集合時間後少し経過してからボートの船長が案内してくれましたが、早めに来て待っていた日本人にはかなり心配な待ち時間でした。
最初に、シーズン初めでホエールは少ないという説明がありました。確かにイルカがホエールか判別難しいほど小さな個体でしたが、小さなジャンプと尾びれは見ることができました。遊泳中のホヌも見れました。
ボートでの海遊は楽しく、なんとかホエールが見れて良かったです。
It seems that there are fewer whales in early January, so for those who came on a tour during the New Year, dynamic whale watching around Waikiki may be difficult.
1月初旬はホエールが少ないようですので、お正月にツアーに来た人は、ワイキキ周辺ではダイナミックなウォッチングは難しいようです。

The tour wasn't bad, but it wasn't as fantastic as I had hoped for. "Lunch" was a simple sandwich and a pack of chips that left us hungry. The sandbar was beautiful but snorkeling was underwhelming.
Make sure you bring your own food.
Aloha Bunny,
Thank you very much for choosing our tour and for taking the time to share your honest feedback.
We apologize that the lunch provided did not meet your expectations. We aim to provide a convenient meal to keep the energy up, but we understand that a sandwich and chips may feel light after a morning of activity. Your comments regarding the portion size and variety are very helpful, and we will certainly review our catering options with our team.
Regarding the snorkeling, the marine conditions can vary day to day, but we are sorry to hear it felt underwhelming during your visit. We will use your feedback to look into how we can better guide our guests to the best viewing areas.
We value your patronage and hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future for an experience that truly exceeds your expectations.

I would do this again! This saved our time and no stress on making reservation to Hanauma Bay. The transportation is so convenient and we watched the introduction video on the shuttle so we can just walk straight in without wasting any time. The snorkeling was one of our favorite things of the trip! I’m so glad we booked through here because they took us straight in and we didn’t have to wait in line. We saw so many fishes and coral reef. We also rent wetsuit and life jacket. We had so much fun feeling safe since the waves and current can get strong.
Rental store staffs are amazing and process of rent and return is convenient.

**[Positive Aspects]**
During the transfer, the driver kindly introduced us to recommended restaurants along the way. He was very friendly and left a good impression.
We were able to see sea turtles. We took photos from the boat and also saw them swimming nearby while snorkeling.
It was great to take commemorative photos while doing activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
**[Negative Aspects]**
The time when you can see sandbars like those shown in guidebooks and on websites is quite limited. Although we were there during a relatively low tide, the sand was completely submerged, and the water level was above an adult's waist.
This is due to weather conditions, so there's not much that can be done, but on the day we participated, there were strong winds, and the current was quite fast. The SUP was being swept away, so it didn't feel like a leisurely activity, and we ended up exhausting ourselves.
Again, this is due to the weather, but because it had rained right before and there were strong winds during the activity, the sea didn't look very clear. (We didn't see many fish while snorkeling.)
Additionally, there were participants who were confused when they were told on-site that you cannot participate in snorkeling if you can't swim. I think it would be good to include this information in the participation guidelines.
**[Varies by Person]**
As mentioned by another reviewer, the Japanese-speaking staff used casual language throughout. While some may appreciate having someone who can communicate in Japanese during an activity abroad, others might find this somewhat rude. I think this depends on how individuals perceive the quality of service relative to the price paid.
Since the staff cannot judge how well someone can swim, I understand that self-assessment is necessary, but I think it would be helpful to have some criteria or steps to determine participation eligibility in shallow areas. Some people might feel like they were treated coldly or dismissed.
【良かった】
送迎の際にはドライバーの方が道中にあるおすすめレストランなど紹介してくれました。とても親切な方で好印象でした。
ウミガメを見ることができました。船上から写真を撮ることも、シュノーケリング中に近くを泳いでいるところを見ることもできました。
SUPなどしながら記念撮影できたのはよかったです。
【悪かった】
ガイドブックやサイトHPに掲載されている写真ようなサンドバーがみられる時期はかなり限られています。比較的干潮に近い時間帯でしたが砂は全く見えず、水位は大人の腰より上でした。
これは天候によるものなのでどうしようもないですが、自分たちが参加した日は強風で、潮の流れがかなり早かったです。SUPもどんどん流されてしまうので、優雅に遊ぶという感じではなく、体力を消耗しました。
これも天候によるので仕方ないですが、直前まで雨が降っていたことと、アクティビティの時間帯に強風が吹いていたため、海はあまりきれいに見えませんでした。(シュノーケリングはあまり魚を見つけられませんでした。)
また、平泳ぎができないとシュノーケリングには参加できない。ということを現場で伝えられて戸惑っている方がいました。参加時の注意事項に記載してもよいかと思いました。
【人による】
別の方も口コミで書かれていましたが、日本語スタッフの方は終始タメ口でした。
海外で参加するアクティビティにもかかわらず、日本語でコミュニケーションをとることが可能な方がいてくれるのでありがたい。ととらえる方もいると思いますし、応対がやや失礼に感じると思う方もいると思います。これは払った料金とサービスの質を各位がどうとらえるかによるかと思います。
どの程度泳げるのかはスタッフでは判断できないので自己判断というのは分からなくもないですが、目安となる基準や、浅瀬で参加可否を判断してもらうためのステップとかはあってもいいのではないかと思いました。人によっては冷たく突き放されたように感じてしまうかと思いました。

On this day, I had requested a Japanese tour for dolphin watching by myself, and in the end, I was able to have a one-on-one experience. They searched the sea for over an hour to find dolphins, visiting various points, and finally, we were able to encounter dolphins. Because they took the time and effort to search diligently, the excitement of that moment was immense.
Our guide, Fuko, shared many interesting facts about Hawaii, making the time on the boat enjoyable throughout. Although I had some swimming experience, it was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the careful instruction I received, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The lunch we had at the end of the tour was also very delicious, making it a fulfilling day that satisfied both my heart and my stomach.
この日は、私一人でイルカウォッチングの日本語ツアーをお願いしていたのですが、結果的に1対1で対応していただくことができました。
イルカを見つけるために、1時間以上にわたって海の上を探し回ってくださり、さまざまなポイントを巡った末、ついにイルカに出会うことができました。長い時間をかけて一生懸命探してくださったからこそ、その瞬間の感動はとても大きかったです。

また、泳ぎの経験はあったものの、シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
ツアーの最後にいただいたお昼ご飯もとても美味しく、心もお腹も満たされる大満足の一日となりました。
I recommend that you definitely bring motion sickness medication! Also, if you can swim, diving might be better than dolphin watching!?

Swimming with sharks was an experience I honestly couldn't imagine at all, and I felt a bit anxious about it. However, after being introduced to it by a friend, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.
I was really nervous right up until the moment I entered the water, but once I was in the ocean, I found that the sharks swam gracefully and calmly. Being able to swim alongside them and see them up close turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.
The speed at which they swam was not as fast as I had expected, and I was able to swim right above them. While it was thrilling, the sense of awe I felt was much greater than any fear, making it an unforgettable time.
The tour was conducted in English only, but the staff occasionally spoke to us in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. Additionally, I had heard from friends who participated in other tours that they had trouble receiving their photos, but in this tour, the photos were sent immediately after we arrived at the port, making the process very smooth. (There were no issues even with an Android phone.)
サメと一緒に泳ぐという体験は、正直なところまったく想像がつかず、少し不安もありましたが、友達に紹介してもらったことをきっかけに思い切って挑戦しました。
直前までとてもドキドキしていましたが、いざ海に入ってみると、サメはとても悠々と落ち着いて泳いでいて、その姿を間近で見ながら一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても楽しい体験となりました。
泳ぐスピードも思っていたほど速くなく、サメのすぐ上を並んで泳ぐこともできました。迫力はありつつも、怖さよりも感動の方が大きく、忘れられない時間になりました。
ツアーは英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方が時折日本語を交えながら話しかけてくださり、安心して参加することができました。
また、他のツアーに参加した友達からは、写真の送付がなかなか届かないといったトラブルを聞いていましたが、このツアーでは港に到着後すぐに写真を送信してくださり、とてもスムーズでした。(携帯の機種がAndroidでも問題ありませんでした。)
I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Also, since it's not a very large ship, I think it's best to keep your luggage compact.
酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
またあまり大きな船ではないので、荷物はコンパクトにしておくのがよいと思います。

It was a surprisingly chilly morning for Hawaii. Initially, we signed up without needing wetsuits, but the day before, our guide contacted us and advised that it would be quite cold in the morning, so it would be better to wear wetsuits. My husband and I, both over sixty, along with our daughter, participated in the tour. The guide was with us the entire time, from pick-up to entering the bay and snorkeling. While our daughter is experienced, it was our first time, and I personally had some physical limitations, which made me anxious at first. However, thanks to the guide's help and instruction, I was able to adapt to the breathing techniques and managed to last for an hour. It was truly a valuable experience. I highly recommend this tour to those who are beginners and may be hesitant to try it out.
ハワイにしては冷え込む朝で当初ウェットスーツ不要で申し込みしたが前日にガイドさんから連絡いただき、当日朝相当寒くなるのでウェットスーツ着用した方が良いとアドバイスもらい私ら還暦過ぎの夫婦と娘1人ので3人で参加しました、送迎から入湾、シュノーケルまでガイドさんが付きっきりで対応してくれました,娘は経験者ですが私ら夫婦は初体験だった更に私は身体的ハンディがあり初めは不安で一般でしたがガイドさんのヘルプと指導により呼吸には慣れが必要ですが何とか1時間やり切ることが出来ました。本当に貴重な体験をすることができました。未体験の方は初心者だと臆せずに

Wetsuits are not only good for preventing cold and injuries, but they also help with buoyancy in the water, so wearing one is advisable.

The arrival bus came on time, and there were Japanese staff who provided a thorough explanation upon arrival. After that, the communication was in English, and while there were some things I didn't understand, I never felt completely lost or troubled. It was great that we could watch a video explanation on the bus, which minimized any downtime after arriving.
On the day of the trip, it was colder than I expected, so I couldn't snorkel for a long time. However, I was very grateful that they were flexible and accommodated a sudden change in the return bus schedule when I negotiated it on the spot.
I brought my own snorkeling set, but for those who don't have one, rentals are available on-site. The bus was easily recognizable with the company's logo, which was also a nice touch!

We had some free time during our company trip, so we participated as a pair. First, we were greeted by a sea turtle at the port, which was quite refreshing since I had no image of sea turtles being at ports in Japan!
When we set out on the boat to search for dolphins, we all sang a prayer to respectfully enter their natural habitat and threw plumeria flowers into the sea. After the prayer, as we moved the boat forward, we were surprised to see a whale spouting water and showing its fin—it's amazing how easily we could spot such creatures!
While we were searching for dolphins, Ryuichi-san explained the mountain range on the west coast, and the sight of the mountains at sunrise was very impressive. Towards the end of our trip, many dolphins appeared, and we were able to take photos right next to the boat!
Unfortunately, the type of dolphin we encountered couldn't swim alongside us, and the waves were a bit high that day, so we couldn't dive at the snorkeling spot with fish and coral reefs. I really hope to swim with them next time!!! 🐬
Thanks to Shanti, Koa, and Ryuichi-san, we made the best memories. Thank you so much!!
社員旅行で自由時間が出来たので2人で参加させていただきました。
まず、港にウミガメがお出迎えしてくれ、日本ではウミガメが港にいるイメージが全くなかったのでなんだか新鮮でした!
いざイルカを探しにボートを出すと、
まずは自然界にお邪魔しますのお祈りをみんなで歌い、プルメリアを海へ投げました。
そしてお祈り後にボートを進めていくと、鯨が潮を吹いたり、おびれを見せてくれて、そんなすぐに見つかる生き物なのかとびっくりしちゃいました!
イルカを探す間、りゅういちさんは西海岸にある山脈の説明をしてくれて、朝焼けの山脈がとても綺麗だったことが印象的です。
イルカは終盤の方に沢山出てきてくれ、
船のすぐ側で写真撮影できました◎
そのイルカの種類が一緒に泳げないイルカだった事と、その日は少し波が高く、魚や珊瑚礁があるシュノーケリングポイントで潜れなかったので、次回こそ一緒に泳ぎたいです!!!🐬
シャンティ、コア、りゅういちさん3人のお陰様で最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございます!!
When searching for dolphins, we always go out on a boat, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit (available for rent) or a rash guard in January!
イルカを探す時は常にボートを出していますので、1月はウェットスーツ(レンタルあり)やラッシュガードを着る事をおすすめします!
Aloha! Yurika. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin School. I'm sorry we weren't able to meet any dolphins to swim with on the day of the tour. I appreciate your five-star rating despite that. It was great to encounter humpback whales that are unique to this season and to see many dolphins up close from the boat! Thank you also for your comments about our Japanese guide, Ryuichi, as well as Shanti and Koa. I'm glad to hear that you have an interest in Hawaiian culture and the mountains of the West Coast. Please do come back and try swimming with the dolphins again when you visit Hawaii! Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! ゆりさま。イルカ中学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日は一緒に泳ぐことの出来るイルカに出会えず残念でした。そんな中での五つ星評価に感謝いたします。この時期ならではのザトウクジラに遭遇したり沢山のイルカたちを船から間近で見ることができて良かったです!! また、日本語ガイドのりゅういちをはじめシャンティとコアに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ハワイの文化や西海岸の山々に関しても興味を持っていただき嬉しく思います。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはイルカと一緒に泳ぐことに再挑戦しに遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

I had the best beach experience in Hawaii! Since it was my first tour in Hawaii, I was a bit nervous, but there were Japanese-speaking guides, which made boarding the bus and entering Hanauma Bay go smoothly! During the shuttle ride, they announced information about the surrounding attractions, so I didn't feel bored on the bus. Also, when renting the snorkeling gear, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I was able to borrow it without any issues! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and everything I saw was a breathtaking view!
ハワイで最高のビーチ観光をすることができました!
ハワイで初のツアーに参加ということで、緊張していましたが、日本語での案内もあり、スムーズにバスの乗車/ハナウマ湾への入場をすることができました!
送迎のバスの中では、周辺の観光情報をアナウンスしてくれてバスの中も退屈しないと思います。
また、シュノーケリングセットのレンタル時も日本語を話せる店員さんがいらっしゃったので、こちらもスムーズに借りることができました!
海も非常に綺麗で目に映るもの全てが絶景でした!
It takes about 15 minutes to get from the bus drop-off point to Hanauma Bay, and renting snorkeling gear also takes some time, so it's recommended to have a relaxed schedule! (You can also change your

I think it would be a good idea to add the banana boat as an option. It looked like a lot of fun.

It was amazing to see the moment the humpback whale jumped!
It was also fantastic to see a pod of long-finned pilot whales.
During snorkeling, I was able to swim with a green sea turtle, and it was just wonderful.
Our guide, Minako, explained everything clearly in Japanese, which made me feel at ease!
ザトウクジラがジャンプした瞬間も見れて最高です!
ハシナガイルカの群れを見れたのも最高です
シュノーケリングではアオウミガメと泳ぐこともできて、とにかく素敵でした
ガイドのミナコさんも日本語で分かりやすく教えてくれて安心でした!
I think it's better to have motion sickness medication even for people who don't usually get seasick.

The couple enjoyed canoeing together, and even the wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling in the sea! The tour participants helped each other with getting on and off the canoe and stand-up paddleboarding, creating a lively atmosphere that transcended national borders.

I participated in a tour from Waikiki by bus for the first time in Hawaii. It was early in the morning, and it took about an hour to reach the beach where we could see dolphins. Fortunately, I was able to swim with the dolphins and even see whales! As an older guy, I was truly moved by the experience.
The guides were all professionals and very friendly. For me and the other Japanese participants who struggled with English, Minako, who could speak Japanese, and Yuya, who handled the photography, were very attentive and humorous in their assistance. Thank you for your hard work from the preparations to after we set sail.
It was a very satisfying tour!
初めてのハワイでワイキキからバスでツアーに参加しました。朝早く、イルカが見れる海岸まで移動距離も1時間ほどかかりました。が運良くイルカと泳げてクジラまで見れました!良い歳のおっさんですが感動しました。
ガイドさんは皆プロフェッショナルで気さくでした。英語が拙い私や他の日本人へ、日本語ができるガイドのミナコさんや撮影のゆうやさんが懇切丁寧に、ユーモア交えて対応頂きました。準備から出航後もハードワークでお疲れ様でした。
大変満足なツアーでした!
The boat can be quite rocky, so those who are sensitive should take motion sickness medication or stand on the deck during the trip to avoid having their heads shaken.
船は結構揺れるので弱い人は酔い止めか、乗船中は甲板などで立って、頭が揺らされるのを避けたほうが良い

It was an amazing tour! We were able to see a large group of dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! Everything went very smoothly, and the staff member Minako said, "It's rare to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles so smoothly!" so this tour was a great success! At first, I was worried about whether we would see them, but within 30 minutes of departure, we encountered dolphins, which was fantastic!
Minako, Travis, Laura, Gaylen, Yuya, and Tim were all excellent staff, and we had a great time until the end!

We were the only Japanese guests on the tour, so our Japanese guide, Ken, stayed with us and taught us a lot about how to find dolphins and whales, the names of the fish we saw while snorkeling, and interesting facts about Hawaii. It was a really enjoyable tour!
Since we participated right after the New Year, I was hoping to see some whales, and we encountered nearly ten of them! I will never forget the excitement of seeing a whale right in front of the boat. Everyone, including the other guests and the captain, was thrilled!
We joined the tour the day before returning to Japan, and it became the perfect memory to wrap up our trip to Hawaii. Ken and everyone else were very kind and wonderful, so I definitely want to join other tours as well.
日本人客はツアーの中で我々だけだったので、日本語ガイドのKENさんが私たちについてくださり、イルカやクジラの探し方やシュノーケルで見えた魚の名前、ハワイの豆知識などたくさんのことを教えてくれて、とても楽しいツアーでした!
年明けに参加したのでクジラが見れたらいいなあと思っていたのですが、10頭近くのクジラに遭遇できました!
中でも船の目の前でクジラに遭遇した感動は忘れません。他のお客さんもキャプテンもみんな大興奮!!

Motion sickness medication is a must!
I borrowed a wetsuit because it was cold, but it's optional! (I was able to rent it for $10, and you can pay by card or cash.)
