I highly recommend the "Dolphin University." 充実の「イルカ大学」お勧めします。

Reviewed by: UG

Entering "Dolphin University" and officially becoming a graduate was the biggest event of the summer of 2025. With a courteous pick-up, we quickly arrived at Waianae Harbor from Ko Olina. We boarded right away, and Captain KURT's jokes eased the tension of the 28 new students, bringing smiles to everyone. Next, we held the solemn "Ehomai Ceremony" (a prayer before entering the sacred place). As time flowed leisurely, we cruised through the magnificent nature of the West Coast. Thanks to our prayers, we encountered many dolphins. Even Minako, a Japanese staff member, said, "Such days are rare." Near the harbor, a family of spinner dolphins came close to the boat, showing us their spinning jumps multiple times. We also encountered a rare pod of false killer whales offshore. It was truly moving. Above all, the crew's "dolphin love" was palpable. In the second class, "snorkeling," my wife had her first experience, and with Minako's support, she said, "It was so much fun. It was really great." We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature. We also encountered sea turtles twice. I would love to participate in this tour again. I highly recommend it.

「イルカ大学」に入学し、晴れて卒業生の仲間入りとなったことは2025年夏の最大のイベントでした。丁寧な送迎でコオリナからはあっという間にワイアナエ港に到着。早速乗船しKURT船長のジョークを交えた挨拶で入学生28名の緊張もほぐれて皆笑顔に。続いて厳粛な「エホマイの儀式（聖地に入る前の祈り）」を行いました。ゆったりとした時が流れる中、雄大な自然が広がる西海岸で、大自然の中をクルーズ。お祈りのおかげ？で、私たちはたくさんのイルカ達と遭遇することができました。日本人スタッフのMinakoさんも「こんな日はめったにないです」というくらい。港の近くではハシナガイルカのファミリーが、ボートのすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、回転ジャンプを何度も見せてくれました。沖合では珍しいユメゴンドウ（鯨）の群れにも出会えました。感激しました。何より船長以下クルーの皆さんの“イルカ・ラブ”がひしひしと伝わってきました。２時間目の授業「スノーケリング」は、妻は初体験でしたが、Minakoさんのサポートで「凄く楽しかった。とても良かった」とのことでした。雄大な自然をたっぷりと満喫させて頂きました。ウミガメさんにも２度出会えました。またこのツアーに参加したいと思いました。お勧めします。

The best memories. 最高の思い出

It was my first time at the sandbar, and although I felt a bit anxious with the slight wind, the sun peeked through, and I got to see a honu. I was also fortunate to have the best crew, including the captain, which made for an unforgettable experience.

Thanks to the crew member who provided detailed explanations in Japanese and showed great consideration, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

This was a tour I definitely want to join again when I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

初めてのサンドバーで、風が少し吹いていたので、少し不安もありましたが、晴れ間も見え、ホヌにも会えて、また、キャプテン含め、最高のクルーの方々にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。

I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I swam with dolphins! イルカと泳げた！

Reviewed by: もち

I was able to see dolphins perfectly. First, we boarded a small boat to search for dolphins. The boat, powered by two engines, moved at an incredible speed. It felt like riding a banana boat, and it was fun even while we were moving.

After about 15-20 minutes of searching, we spotted dolphins. During the first time we entered the water, we only caught a glimpse of two dolphins diving. We set out again to search for dolphins, and during the second attempt, we were able to see dozens of dolphins in the ocean. After that, we moved to another spot and were also able to see several sea turtles perfectly.

Ken, the Japanese staff member, was very kind, and I felt reassured to participate even with my concerns about speaking English. Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit. If you're worried about motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is essential. It's said that the waters in Hawaii are calmest in the morning, so even though the meeting time is early, I recommend the first tour.

The boat from Dolphin University had a toilet and was well-equipped, but if seeing dolphins and swimming with them is your top priority, it seems that Dolphin Junior is recommended because their boat can maneuver more easily. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling, making it a very satisfying tour.

イルカはバッチリ見れました。
まずは小型のボートに乗り込み、イルカを探しに行きます。船はエンジンを2台のパワーで動くのですごいスピードが出ます。バナナボートに乗っているような感覚で移動中も楽しかったです。
15-20分ほど探したところで、イルカを発見。1回目海に入ったところでは2頭のイルカが潜っていく所を少し見れた程度でした。改めてイルカを探しに船を走らせ、2回目では数十頭のイルカを海の中から見ることができました。その後別のスポットまで移動して、海亀も数匹バッチリ見ることが出来ました。
日本人スタッフのケンさんもとても親切で英語に不安があっても安心して参加できました。
船が小型なので結構揺れます。乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めの服用は必須かと思います。ハワイの海は朝が1番穏やかとのことで、集合は朝早いですが1番最初のツアーがおすすめです。
イルカ大学の船にはトイレが付いていたり設備が充実していましたが、イルカを見る、イルカと泳ぐことが優先順位1位であればイルカ中学の方が船が小回りきくこともありおすすめだそうです。
シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあり、大満足なツアーでした。

I was able to see a honu up close! ホヌを間近で見る事ができました！

Reviewed by: ふーちゃん

I made a reservation while checking the tide chart, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing me to see the sandbar that emerged from the water! The part that actually comes out of the sea has more coral fragments and rocks than sandy beach, so marine shoes are essential.

I took photos with my iPhone, and it was amazing to see the sea turtles (honu) resting right in front of me and swimming close enough to touch, along with many colorful fish! At first, I was considering a tour that lends fins, but it wasn't necessary since we moved slowly along the not-so-long reef while enjoying the view.

In addition to sun protection, it seems there were jellyfish that the honu feed on in some areas, so having a rash guard would provide extra peace of mind.

潮見表を見ながら予約しましたが天候にも恵まれ、ちゃんと水面から出たサンドバーを見る事が出来ました！
実際に海面から出ている部分は砂浜より珊瑚のカケラや岩のような部分が多く、マリンシューズは必須でした。
写真はiPhoneで撮りましたが、目の前で寝ているホヌや、手が届くほどの距離を泳ぐホヌ、色とりどりの魚もたくさん見る事が出来て最高でした！始めは足ヒレを貸してくれるツアーと悩みましたが、さほど長くないリーフ沿いをゆっくりと見ながら進むので不要でした。
日焼け対策もですが、ホヌが餌にしているクラゲが所々にいたようなので、ラッシュガードはあった方が安心です。

I participated in a tour with "Dolphin University" that cruises near the westernmost point of Oahu. There were many Japanese staff members, and their explanations were thorough, allowing me to feel safe and enjoy the experience throughout. On the boat, there were also commentaries about the surrounding islands and scenery, which deepened my understanding of Hawaii's nature and culture. During the cruise, I encountered sea turtles three times and observed a pod of wild dolphins. I was particularly moved by the sight of baby dolphins jumping. After the cruise, I had a snorkeling experience in the deep sea where I couldn't touch the bottom. Swimming with colorful fish gathered around the bait felt like a dream, and it was a highly satisfying tour that allowed me to feel one with nature.

Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour – 5 Stars!

Reviewed by: Lani

Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.

The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!

And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.

I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス　シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き＜英語ドライバー＞

The driver was kind. 親切なドライバーさんでした

Reviewed by: Hiro

**Review**

The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.

The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.

I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.

**Points for Improvement**

The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.

However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.

The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.

【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました！
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。

ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました！
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。

個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。

【改善して頂きたい点】

バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。

ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が２個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。

ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling [Morning Departure] Review ハナウマ湾シュノーケル【午前発】感想

Reviewed by: ニャンニャン🐱

I personally used this during my long stay in Honolulu for school. With a departure around 6 AM, I was back at the hotel by just after 10 AM, which allowed me to make good use of my morning. There were only a few people, which added to the private feel, and that was great!

In the morning, we snorkeled in shallow areas due to low tide, but the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish! According to the guide, it seems that in the afternoon, when the tide is high, we can go further out, but the visibility might decrease a bit. The morning is early, but it seems to be less crowded compared to the afternoon. Both morning and afternoon have their pros and cons.

The guide was also kind and provided helpful advice on how to use the wetsuits and life jackets, as well as how to put on the masks. There are showers and restrooms available on-site.

スクールでホノルル長期滞在時の間に個人的に利用しました。午前6時過ぎ出発で10時過ぎにはホテルに戻られるので朝活の時間の有効活用ができます。人数も数名程度でプライベート感もあり良かったです！
午前の朝は引潮で浅い場所でのシュノーケルとなりますが、海の透明は高く色々なお魚を見ることができました！ガイドさんいわく、午後は満潮になるので沖には出れるみたいですが、透明度は若干下がるみたいです。午前は朝早いですが、午後に比べて空いてるみたいです。午前も午後も一長一短あるみたいです。

I used this tour company for a family trip (my kids are in 8th and 6th grade). This is my third experience at the sandbar, but I choose this tour company every time. The reasons are that the staff is cheerful and fun, the boat is large and has a roof, you can enjoy light snacks, the live music is exciting, and you can enjoy marine sports. This time, I signed up for the banana boat experience. During the banana boat ride, we spotted a sea turtle, so they stopped the boat for us. They also respond to music requests. Overall, there seems to be a lot of American participants, but there are Japanese staff members guiding us. Other staff members also communicate in broken Japanese. I plan to use this tour again.

It was a good decision to go during low tide. 干潮を狙って行って正解でした

Reviewed by: まいまい

I was hesitant because I saw other reviews mentioning that there was no sandy beach, but after checking the tide schedule, I found that the tour time coincided perfectly with low tide, so I decided to participate. Just as I imagined, it was exactly the right time to see the sandy beach, and I was able to witness something precious. The weather was great, and it was the best experience!

I think adults can understand the value of this, but my 6-year-old daughter obviously didn’t grasp it. She seemed to enjoy seeing the turtles and playing with various goods like SAP.

By the way, we also participated in a dolphin swimming tour the day before, but it seemed very scary for her at 6 years old. She was quite nervous when joining this tour, but there were many smaller kids than her, which gave her a sense of security. It turned out to be a fun memory without turning the ocean into a trauma, which was really great.

他の口コミで砂浜は見れなかったなどの書き込みがあったので迷いましたが、潮見表で旅程を確認すると、ツアー時間と干潮がうまく重なっていたので参加してみました。想像していた通り、砂浜が出ている時間ピッタリで、貴重なものが実際に見れて天気も良く最高でした！
大人にはその貴重さが理解できると思いますが、6歳の娘は当然分からず、亀を見れた事や、SAPなど色々なグッズで遊べたことが楽しかったようでした。
ちなみに前々日にイルカと泳ぐツアーにも参加しましたが、6歳にはそちらはとても怖かったようで、かなりビビりながらこちらのツアーに参加しましたが、自分より小さい子も沢山いて安心感があり、海がトラウマにならずに楽しい思い出になりとてもよかったです。

Reviewed by: みれまま

The staff were all very friendly, but most of the people around were native speakers, and announcements and services were only in English, so those who prefer service in Japanese might find it inconvenient. Inside, there are long benches and long tables, and they guide you according to your group.

The activities were plentiful; my husband enjoyed beach volleyball, and our first-grade child was thrilled to see tropical fish with the floaties and goggles we brought, as well as a life jacket that was available for rent. It seems you can walk in the coral areas, so I think it's essential for children to have beach shoes (that can be worn in the water) to prevent injuries. Adults would also feel more secure having them.

After snorkeling, I spent a relaxing time on a boat with my daughter, enjoying the beautiful sea while riding on a SUP (you don't have to stand). On the way back, everyone was happily dancing to live music, and we were all healed by the aloha music at the end, creating a special memory.

As for snacks, there weren't any meals like sandwiches, and only donuts were provided (which ran out early due to competition), so it's better to bring your own if you think you'll need more. Coffee is made by getting the grounds and adding hot water yourself. Alcohol is available for a fee. There are two toilets, but they don't have automatic flushing, so you have to use the water from the bottle inside the toilet to flush it yourself.

スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたが、周りはネイティブの方がほとんどでアナウンスやサービスも英語のみなので日本語でサービスをご希望の方には不便に感じるかもしれません。中は長ベンチと長テーブルの席になっていてグループごとに案内してくれます。

アクティビティは充実しており、夫はビーチバレーを楽しみ、小学校一年生の子供は持参した浮き輪、水中眼鏡と貸し出しがあったライフジャケットでトロピカルなお魚たちを大興奮で見ていました。珊瑚の所は歩けるみたいなので、怪我防止に子供のビーチシューズ(海中で履ける)は必須だと思いました。大人もあった方が安心です。

私はシュノーケリングの後、娘と好きなようにSUPに乗ったり(立たなくていい)綺麗な海を見ながら船でのんびり過ごしました。帰りはライブミュージックでみんな楽しくダンスしていて最後はアロハミュージックに癒されて特別な思い出になりました。

軽食ですが、サンドウィッチなど食事になるものはなく、ドーナツしか用意がなかったので(争奪戦で前半になくなる)足りない人は持参した方が良いです。コーヒーは粉をもらって自分でお湯を入れます。お酒は有料です。
トイレは２つありますが、自動洗浄はなくトイレの中に置いてある水ボトルの水を自分で流します。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Fun day at the sandbar

Reviewed by: Leilani

The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

Depending on the mood of the dolphin. イルカの気分次第

Reviewed by: norico

I participated in July. From the shuttle bus stage, I felt at ease with the Japanese guide, Fuko. There was also a restroom break at the port upon arrival.
The boat was clean, had a roof, and was comfortable. Many spinner dolphins came around the boat. Although the time spent searching for dolphins offshore was long, the snorkeling time was short, but I was able to swim with a turtle.
Lastly, even though the course I chose was one that could not be changed or canceled, thank you for accommodating my schedule change.

7月に参加してきました。送迎バスの段階から日本人ガイドのふうこさんと一緒で安心。到着した港では一旦トイレ休憩もあります。
船は清潔で屋根があって過ごしやすいです。たくさんのスピナードルフィンが船の周りに来てくれました。沖までイルカを探しに行く時間が長かったので、シュノーケリングの時間が短かったですが、亀と泳ぐことができました。
最後に私が選んだコースは日程の変更やキャンセルができないものだったにも関わらず、日程変更にご対応いただき、ありがとうございました。

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

The Japanese-speaking guide is attentive. 日本語付きガイドが丁寧

Reviewed by: ぽんちゃん

Arrived at the port by bus from the hotel! I packed my change of clothes in a large plastic box and off we went to the sea. The captain explained everything in English, while the Japanese guide provided detailed explanations! We played in the shallow sea for about an hour and saw fish and turtles while snorkeling. I got a bit separated while chasing the turtles and fish, but they quickly brought me back. I couldn't take any photos, but I was glad to see so many fish and turtles.

ホテルからバス送迎で港に到着！着替えなどは、プラスチック製の大きな箱に入れていざ海へ細かな説明を英語でキャプテン、日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明！遠浅の海で1時間ぐらい遊び、シュノーケリングで魚や亀をみました。亀や魚を追いかけて離れてしまったけどすぐに、連れ戻してくれました。写真が撮れなかったけどたくさんの魚や亀に会えて良かったです。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ウミガメとの遭遇率が高い、ワイキキ沖のタートルキャニオンでシュノーケリング！＜英語スタッフ／ワイキキ発＞

I was able to see turtles! カメ見れました！

Reviewed by: Aloha

I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.

合計で3匹のカメを見ることができました！
多分スポット的には絶対見られるポイントなのだと思います。
ガイドさんは外人で私が参加した時は日本人の参加者はいなかったので少し不安でしたが、困るようなことはなかったです。
船酔いと波酔いをしたので酔い止めは飲んでおくといいと思います。

Sandbar Cruise

Reviewed by: Morgan

Loved the quick boat ride out! Felt like most of the time was spent waiting for people to arrive- didn't get a ton of time out on the sand bar
