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。

The staff were very good at getting everyone excited and were great at talking. On the bus to the coast and when we first boarded the boat, they talked about various things like the spinner dolphins we were going to see that day, Hawaii, and snorkeling. I was particularly anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but they answered any questions I had.
Dolphins are spotted visually rather than using radar, so everyone looked out at the sea together, fostering a sense of unity among all the passengers.
Not only did we see spinner dolphins, but we also spotted wild bottlenose dolphins, and there were many large sea turtles swimming around.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I thought, "This is definitely Hawaii."
スタッフさんはとても盛り上げ方が上手で話し上手でした。
海岸まで行くバスの中や、船に乗り込んだ最初は、この日見に行くハシナガイルカのこと、ハワイのこと、シュノーケルのことなどいろいろ話してくださいます。
特にシュノーケルが初めてで不安はありましたが、聞けば何でも答えてくれました。
イルカはレーダーなどではなく、目視で見つけるため、全員で一緒に海を眺めたりして、乗っているみんなの一致団結力も芽生えます。
ハシナガイルカだけではなく、野生のバンドウイルカも見ることができたり、大きなウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました。
海はとっても綺麗で、さすがハワイだなーと思いました。

I participated five years ago, and although it was tough, it became a wonderful memory, so I joined again this time, but I was disappointed.
The meeting time was set for 5:55 AM, but the staff arrived more than 30 minutes late. During that time, a staff member from Dolphin University came, but without saying a word to the anxious middle school participants, they only took attendance for the university participants and left. The staff who arrived late, including someone who claimed to be the president, only said, "I'm sorry for the trouble," without explaining why they were late. They repeatedly mentioned how hectic it was, but that doesn't concern the participants. I believe they should at least properly explain the circumstances behind the delay.
We set out to sea about 30 minutes late, but in the end, we only saw dolphins for a few seconds. Later, several staff members told us, "The dolphins were far away today." I understand that luck plays a role, but I couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been a delay, we might have seen more.
Five years ago, we entered the sea multiple times to see dolphins, but this time we only saw them for a few seconds before moving to a shallower area to snorkel at a spot with coral. Honestly, there are other places with prettier coral than here, and I felt that it wasn't necessary to do this in Hawaii.
During snorkeling, I was told beforehand that it was okay to remove flotation devices, but since no one had taken them off, I asked a woman who seemed to be the captain for confirmation. Without looking up from her phone, she said, "If you can swim, then," which felt a bit rude.
I also purchased photos, and while we were able to take turns on the boat, the only photos taken while swimming were group photos. I was diving to see turtles while snorkeling, but there were no pictures of me or my friend in the water, so I would have appreciated more consideration for capturing moments in the sea.
I understand that the situation with the dolphins depends on luck, but this time, I was disappointed with the staff's response in various aspects.
5年前にも参加し、ハードだったけどすごくいい思い出になったので再度参加しましたが、今回はガッカリしました。
05:55という早朝の集合時間でしたが、スタッフが来たのは30分以上過ぎてから。途中イルカ大学のスタッフが来ましたが、不安な顔をしている中学の参加者に一声もかけずに、大学参加者の点呼だけ取って行ってしまいました。
遅れてきたスタッフも学長だという方も「トラブルでバタバタしてすいませんでした」と言うだけで、なぜ遅れたのか理由も説明されませんでした。バタバタして大変だったと何度も言われましたが、大変だったのは参加者側には関係ないことです。なぜ遅れたかの事情の説明くらいはきちんとするべきだと思います。
30分ほど出航が遅れた状態で海に出ましたが、結局イルカが見れたのは数秒だけ。後から複数のスタッフに「今日はイルカが遠くに行ってた」と言われました。運に左右されるのは理解してますが、遅れなければもっと見れたかもしれないんじゃ?と思わざるを得ませんでした。
5年前は何度か場所を変えてイルカを見に海に入りましたが、今回は数秒見てイルカは終了、浅めの場所へ移動してサンゴがあるところでシュノーケルになりました。正直ここよりサンゴが綺麗な海は他にあるし、わざわざハワイでしなくてもいいなあという感想でした。
シュノーケルの際、事前に浮具を外してもいいと言われていましたが、誰も外していなかったので確認のために船長?の女性に声をかけた際、顔も上げずに携帯を見ながら「泳げるならね」と言われたのもちょっと感じが悪かったです。
また写真を購入しましたが、船上では順番に撮っていただけましたが、泳いでいる最中の写真は集合写真のみ。シュノーケルでカメを見に潜ったりしてましたが、私と友人の海での写真は一枚もなかったので、海でも満遍なく撮影するよう配慮していただきたかったです。
イルカの状況が運次第なのは納得していますが、今回はいろんな面でスタッフの方々の対応が残念でした。
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Junior High. I apologize for the lack of sincerity in the staff's response on the day of the event. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
この度はイルカ中学へのご参加ありがとうございました。

I thought snorkeling would be about swimming close to dolphins, but what I actually saw was dolphins swimming quickly below. After the snorkeling ended and we got back on the boat, I was lucky enough to see a large group of dolphins up close, and I thought it would have been great to snorkel with them at that moment! I heard that this was still considered lucky.
However, since it’s nature, I had to convince myself that it can’t be helped. The dolphin snorkeling was a bit disappointing in that sense, but unexpectedly, I also got to see turtles while snorkeling and tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, which was really fun. The staff were great too! The weather was beautiful, and it was a really enjoyable experience.
Since it’s nature, I guess luck with the weather plays a role, and while it was different from my image of dolphin snorkeling, I had a great time.
シュノーケリングでイルカ、思ってたのは近くでイルカと泳ぐという感じだったけど、実際見れたのは、下の方を早いスピードで泳ぐイルカを見る、というものでした。
シュノーケリングが終わり船に上がってからの方が、運良く近くでイルカの群れを大量に見るという感じで、この時にイルカと一緒にシュノーケリングできたらいいなぁと思いました!これでも運が良いらしいです。
でも、自然が相手だからしょうがないかな、と自分を納得させ。
イルカシュノーケリングはそういう意味で期待外れだったけど、まさかのシュノーケリングで亀も見れたし、はじめてSUPをしてみたりと、とても面白かったです。スタッフの方もいい感じでした!晴天ですごく良かった、面白かったです。
やっぱり自然相手なので、天気など運も関係するのでしょう、イルカシュノーケリングのイメージとは違ったけどとても楽しめました。

The early morning pickup was surprisingly ahead of schedule! It wasn't Hawaiian time! (laughs)
It took about an hour to reach the harbor. We had to wait on the boat for a while before encountering dolphins. However, we eventually came across a pod of dolphins!
When jumping into the water, you need to go with momentum; otherwise, it might be scary for those who aren't used to diving or snorkeling. We changed locations a few times and dove three times in total. It was quite intense (of course, it's okay to stay on the boat if you get tired).
Unfortunately, we didn't see many dolphins underwater, but after getting back on the boat, we encountered a pod of nearly 100 dolphins! After dolphin watching, we moved to a snorkeling point where we saw turtles and played with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
It was quite a packed experience, and the crew was cheerful, making the time fly by. I would love to participate again.
Oh, the eco-bag that serves as a substitute for a graduation certificate can be picked up at the Waikiki office (2nd floor of Waikiki Shopping Plaza) after returning to Waikiki. Surprisingly, it comes in handy for shopping in Japan, so I recommend getting it! (laughs)
1早朝のお迎えでしたが時間よりも早くバスが迎えにきました。ハワイアンタイムではないことに驚き!笑
1時間ほどで船着場へ。
参加した会は中々イルカに出会えず暫く船上で待機をしました。が、無事イルカの群れに遭遇!
海に飛び込むときは勢いで行かないとダイビングやシュノーケルに慣れていない人は怖いかも…
何箇所か場所を変えて計3回ダイブしました。
結構ハードです(勿論疲れたら船の上に残っていてもOK)
残念ながら水中ではあまりイルカの姿を見られなかったのですが船に上がった後に100頭近くの群れに出会えました!
イルカウォッチの後はシュノーケルポイントへ移動して亀を見たりSUPをしたりして遊びました。
かなり盛り沢山でクルーの皆さんも明るくあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。
また参加したいです。
あ、卒業証書替わりのエコバッグはワイキキに帰った後ワイキキのオフィス(ワイキキショッピングプラザ2F)へ貰いに行くパターンでした。

Departure at 11:00 is great. If you take the first flight, you might end up boarding the boat sleep-deprived, which can make you more prone to seasickness. So, for those who are sensitive, I recommend the second departure to get a good sleep, enjoy breakfast slowly, take some motion sickness medication, and then head to the boat! Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the activities on the boat without getting seasick.
All the staff were cheerful, and I felt just as relaxed as I did with the dolphins! In Japan, every day is about worrying if you have to conform to certain expectations, but participating in this tour reminded me of the importance of living authentically. I got to see many dolphins and colorful fish, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian sea without getting bored, thanks to activities like SUP and the slide on the boat! Mahalo!
11時出発、すごくいいです。1便だと、睡眠不足で船に乗ることになるので、酔いやすい方は2便の出発にして、よく寝て、朝食をゆっくり食べて、酔い止め飲んで船へ!お陰様で、酔うことなく船でのアクティビティを全力で楽しむことができました。
スタッフは全員愉快で、イルカと同じくらい癒されました!日本だと◯◯でなければならないと人に気をつかう毎日ですが、このツアーに参加して自分らしく生きることの大切さを思い出した気がしました。たくさんのイルカ、カラフルな魚にも会えて、SUPや船についてるスベリ台など、飽きずにハワイの海を全身に感じることができました!mahalo!

I participated in the afternoon session. The sandbar had water up to my knees even in shallow areas. Still, I was able to take many wonderful photos! The staff members all spoke Japanese and were very proactive in taking pictures and showing great consideration. Also, the lunch was delicious! It was so good that I went back for seconds! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, with sea turtles coming very close and plenty of fish to see!! If you have a GoPro, you can capture the fish and sea turtles underwater, so I definitely recommend bringing one if you have it! It would also be great to have a float. I participated in November, and while it was a warm day, the water was still a bit cold... I recommend bringing a thick hoodie ('ω').

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!

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。

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!
Thanks Ashton, you guys all did great! Your welcome back anytime. Dan and Chieko.

It was my first time participating in a tour, and I had a great time! The staff were all cheerful, and even though I didn't participate in snorkeling, there were various free floats and equipment available, which was fun! The food was delicious, and I got to see sea turtles, so it was a very satisfying tour!
初めてのツアー参加でしたが、楽しく参加させてもらいました!スタッフは皆さん明るくシュノーケルは参加しませんでしたが、無料の浮輪や道具が色々あり楽しかったです!ご飯も美味しく海ガメも見れて大満足のツアーでした!

I used the service on November 14, 2019. When the bus arrived in front of the hotel, the driver called out my name, so I was able to board without any confusion. There was no place to change into swimsuits, so I wore mine both to and from the location. After arriving, we headed to the sandbar by boat. There were sales of motion sickness medication and sunscreen on the boat, but I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to bring their own. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we had some time to take commemorative photos individually, and then we split into groups for snorkeling and non-snorkeling activities. Snorkeling was only for those who could swim, as it required swimming 20 minutes in deep water. For those not snorkeling, one kayak and four stand-up paddleboards were available, and we could play while being taught how to use them. I didn't go snorkeling, but I was able to see a sea turtle while playing. The turtle came quite close, but touching or chasing it is prohibited. Lunch was a buffet with bone-in short ribs, fruits, and unlimited drinks. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which was reassuring. Captain Bruce seems to cooperate with Japanese television filming as well.
2019年11月14日に利用しました。バスはホテル前につくと運転手さんから名前を呼んでくれたので迷わず乗ることができました。水着は着替えるところがないので行きも帰りも着たままでした。現地に着いてからはボートでサンドバーへ向かいました。ボートの中で酔い止めや日焼け止めの販売はありましたが、酔いやすい方は用意して行った方がいいと思います。サンドバーではまず着いて記念撮影を各自で撮る時間があり、その後シュノーケリングをする人としない人に分かれて行動しました。シュノーケリングは片道20分足のつかない海を泳がなくてはいけないため泳げる人のみの参加でした。シュノーケリングをやらない人はカヤック一台とサップ四台が用意してありやり方を教えてもらいながら遊ぶことができました。私はシュノーケリングにはいかなかったのですが、遊んでいる時にウミガメをみることができました。かなり近くまでカメさんが来てくれますが触ることや追いかけることは禁止されています。お昼ご飯はバイキングで骨付きカルビやフルーツ、ドリンクも飲み放題でした。日本語対応スタッフもいるので安心でした。キャプテンブルースは日本のテレビ撮影などにも協力しているようです。

This was the tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip. It takes about an hour by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to the boat dock. I was really worried about seasickness, but I was perfectly fine with motion sickness pills and a wristband. The sandbar was truly beautiful and worth the visit! I took a lot of photos during the sandbar walk. The snorkeling was done in a place where you can't touch the bottom, so it's limited to those who can swim. I saw a lot of fish, and there were also many sea turtles, which made for a valuable experience. I wasn't expecting much from the food on the boat, but the barbecue was really delicious! The guide was also a wonderful person.
この旅で1番楽しみにしていたツアーでした。
ワイキキのホテルからバスで1時間程でボート乗り場に着きます。
船酔いがとても心配でしたが、酔い止めと酔い止め防止バンドで完璧に防げました。
サンドバーは本当に綺麗で行く価値ありです!
サンドバーウォークでたくさん写真を撮りました。
シュノーケリングは足のつかない場所でやるので、泳げる方限定です。魚もたくさん見れましたが、海亀もたくさんいて貴重な体験ができました。
船でのご飯は期待していなかったのですが、バーベキューもとても美味しかったです^_^
ガイドのお姉さんも素敵な方でした。

The tour was a self tour and was great. The staff were aplenty and were very very helpful. The snorkelling gear and surfing gear was all there. The staff show you each step as to how and where to go and you also get your own bike as well to explore! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to do things their way.

It was so much fun!
We are both in our sixties; my husband has good athletic ability, but he can't swim. Therefore, playing in the ocean is not a priority for us.
I, who have poor athletic ability, can swim. Somehow, we made it to the sea.
It was a great decision to try stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing in the beautiful ocean! My husband seemed to enjoy it too, and next time we want to try snorkeling as well!
The staff was friendly, which was great.
とにかく楽しかった!
還暦の私達、運動神経はよい夫ですが、泳げません。必然で海で遊ぶ事の優先順位は低い。
運動神経が悪い私は、泳げます。なんとか海へ。
綺麗な海でサップにカヌー体験、大正解!夫も楽しかったみたいです次回はシュノーケルも!
スタッフがフレンドリーでよかったです。

We were picked up from a hotel near Waikiki and took about an hour by bus to the boat dock, from where we boarded the boat and headed to the sandbar!
For lunch, we were served hamburgers and drinks on the boat! They were very delicious!
There were also two restrooms on the boat.
The boat didn't sway too much, but if you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating.
We joined the sandbar tour in the morning, avoiding high tide, and the water was still up to our thighs! The timing of high tide varies by season, so it might be good to check that before deciding on the tour time.
You can leave your belongings on the boat while taking photos and snorkeling at the sandbar. It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff taught us, and after a few tries, I got the hang of it! We moved the boat a little and, wearing safety jackets, we saw coral reefs and fish at a depth of about 10 meters. At first, I was a bit scared, but I was able to see the beautiful underwater scenery.
While swimming, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was a rare experience.
We could also see many sea turtles from the boat and managed to capture some great photos.
On the way back, you can change clothes at a restroom near the boat dock, but I didn't have time (the men's restroom had no line, but the women's restroom had a queue), so I wore my clothes over my swimsuit on the way back. I had a bath towel, but since I got wet, I laid down a few smaller towels on the bus. I recommend bringing a few larger towels to prevent the bus seats from getting wet.
The guide and the captain were very friendly and cheerful! I really had a great time!
ワイキキ周辺のホテルからピックアップして、1時間程かけて船乗り場までバスで移動し、そこから船にのり、サンドバーへ向かいました!
昼食は船の中でハンバーガーとドリンクが出ました!とても美味しかったです!
トイレも2つ船の中についていました。
船はそんなに揺れなかったですが、心配な方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでから参加されるといいかもしれません★
サンドバーは満潮の時間帯をずらして午前中に参加しました(^^)それでも太腿くらいまでありました!
時期によって満潮の時間帯が異なるので調べてからツアー参加時間を決めても良いかもしれません
(^-^)
船の中に荷物は置いてサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングをします。
初シュノーケリングでしたが、スタッフが教えてくださり、何度かやったら習得できました★
サンドバーから少し船で移動し、海底10メートルほどのあるところで安全ジャケットを着用し
サンゴ礁や魚を見ます。
最初は少し怖かったのですが、とても綺麗な海底の景色をみることができました。
泳いでいる際にもウミガメに遭遇することができ、貴重な体験でした。
船からもウミガメをたくさん見ることができ、写真にもしっかりおさめることができました。
帰りは船乗り場近くのトイレで着替えることもできますが、私は時間がなく(男子トイレは並んでいませんでしたが、女子トイレは行列でした)水着の上が服を着て帰りました。
私はバスタオルを持っていましたが身体を拭いて濡れてしまったため、小さめのタオルを何枚か敷いてバスに乗りました。
バスの座席が濡れるのを防ぐため大きめのタオル
をいくつか持参されることをオススメします★
ガイドさんや船長さんがとても気さくで明るい方々でした!本当に楽しかったです^_^
