I was excited to swim with dolphins in Hawaii for the first time, but at first, the dolphins were jumping around a lot, which raised my expectations. However, when I actually got into the water, the dolphins disappeared, and we moved to the next spot. I managed to see one dolphin, but I was disappointed that I couldn't see the many dolphins I had imagined. The waves were high, and both the boat and the water were rocking, which made me seasick. At first, the sea turtles blended in with the rocks, and I couldn't find them, but I did see about three small ones. The water clarity was a bit murky, and compared to when I went diving in Okinawa, it was somewhat disappointing. However, I appreciated how the crew was bright and worked hard to make the tour enjoyable.
初めてのハワイでイルカと泳げるとわくわくしていましたが、最初はイルカたちがたくさん飛び跳ねていて期待していたのですが、いざ海へ入ってみるとイルカたちがいなくなってしまい、次のポイントへ。なんとか1匹ほどみれましたが、イメージしていたたくさんのイルカをみることができず残念でした。また波が高く船でも海に入ってもゆれて、船酔いしてしまいました。ウミガメも最初、岩と同化していてどこにいるかわからず、小さいかめが3匹ほどみれました。海の透明度もちょっとにごっていて、以前沖縄でダイビングしたときと比べるとちょっと残念でした。ただクルーの方たちが明るく一生懸命ツアーを盛り上げてくれている様子がわかりありがたかったです。

I had a great time. After the tour, I was often asked for tips, but this tour not only provided a lot of fun but also offered free photos to upload on Facebook! Finally, in the car that took me back to the hotel, they shared various interesting stories without asking for any tips at all. It's a really good tour company.
とても楽しかったです
結構ツアー参加後に、チップを要求されることが多かったのですが、このツアーはいっぱい楽しませた上に、写真まで無料にfacebookにアップしてくれます!最後に、ホテルまで送ってくれた車の中で、いろんな面白い話をしてくれながら、チップを一切要求しませんでした。
とてもいいツアー会社です
Dear Yuyu, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you and Dan enjoyed the tour!! The sea conditions were great that morning, and we were very lucky to see seals in the water. While they look cute when they're sleeping on the beach, they seem huge and a bit intimidating when seen underwater, but it's quite rare to see them like that. It was also great that you got to meet a turtle at the end of the tour. I hope you both will consider joining us again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ユーユー様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで、私もDanもとても嬉しいです!!この日の午前は海の状態も良く、とてもラッキーなことに海の中でアザラシを見ることができましたね。ビーチで寝ている時は可愛いアザラシも、水の中で見ると巨大でちょっと怖い感じでしたが、水中で見れるのはとても珍しいことなんですよ。ツアー最後にはカメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひまたお二人でリピートしていただけたらと思います。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.
ドライバーが2人参加の私達の席を別々に座らせようとしました。自分の荷物を前席に置きたいらしく?
今回は2回目でしたが、前回よりランチもランクダウン、BBQ?ではなかった!そして一番の残念は並んでスノーケリングしなければならなかった事。初級者用と宣伝した方が良いと思います。今度は参加しないと思います。

I was very happy to meet dolphins and, above all, to see the gracefully swimming sea turtles.
It was my first time scuba diving, and on top of seasickness, the tightness of the suit and life jacket was tough to handle.
It would have been easier if I could take it off, but I thought I couldn't go into the water without it, so I got out early, which was disappointing. I wanted to play a little longer, even if it meant getting sick.
The staff were considerate, and it was reassuring to have a good number of people around. The dance was fun!
イルカにも逢え、何よりも優雅に泳ぐ亀仙人に逢えとても幸せ
スキューバーは初めてで、船酔いのうえにスーツと救命胴衣の窮屈さがしんどかった

During the Obon season, there were a lot of people, and there were some unexpected incidents from the start, but we managed to board the boat and set sail.
My husband and I were a bit nervous about getting into the sea after a long time, but the staff were kind and made it fun, so we felt comfortable participating.
There were about 5 to 6 people who felt sick from seasickness, so I think it's better to have a light breakfast and definitely take motion sickness medication.
Masks, snorkels, and fins are provided, so you can participate in your swimsuit and sandals. Marine shoes are not necessary. We wore long-sleeve rash guards and leggings, so we didn't need wetsuits.
The coldest part was when we were on the boat and exposed to the wind, so it's better to have something warm to wear. There were several people shivering.
It was disappointing that we couldn't do activities like stand-up paddleboarding due to the strong wind, but on the plus side, we got to see a lot of dolphins, which was great.
I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.
お盆の時期だけに人が多く、集合時から何やらアクシデントでドタバタしてましたが、なんとか船に乗って出航できました。

We gathered at 5:50 AM and received explanations about important points during the bus ride to the port. I was really excited to hear that the chance of seeing dolphins was over 90%, and as we got off the bus and headed towards the boat, we encountered a sea turtle right away! I didn't see any dolphins at the first spot, but I was able to see several at the second spot! During snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish and sea turtles. Not everyone was able to participate in the marine sports, which was one of the main reasons I joined this tour, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't take part. The staff on the boat were all very nice, and I had a really enjoyable day.
If I could suggest two areas for improvement:
The first is regarding the boat's restrooms. Both were broken, and it was cold and uncomfortable to have to hold it in.
The second is that I received an email meant for participants on a different day, which was mistakenly sent to me (it was from another instructor). I pointed this out in an email, but I didn't receive a response, and then I got a second incorrect email. Since it contained a photo of me, I hope they will be more careful with personal information.
朝5:50集合で、港までのバスの中では注意事項などの説明を受けました。
イルカが観れる確率は90%以上ということでとってもワクワクしていると、車を降りて船に向かう道で早速ウミガメに出会いました!
イルカのポイント1つ目では私は見れなかったのですが、2つ目のスポットでイルカを何頭か観れました!
シュノーケリングでは綺麗な魚やウミガメがたくさん観れました。
マリンスポーツは全員ができるわけではありませんでした。こちらのツアーに参加した大きな目的のひとつだったので参加できなくてすごく残念でした。
船のスタッフさん達は全員が良い人でとても楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。
改善してほしい点を2つ挙げると
1つ目は船のお手洗いについてです。2つとも壊れていて、お手洗いを我慢しなきゃいけなかったのが寒くて辛かったです。
2つ目は、後日、別の日の参加者宛のメールが誤送信されてきました。(他のインストラクターからでした。)間違ったのかと思い指摘のメールをしたのですが、そちらには返事が来ず、その後2回目の誤ったメールがきました。顔写真が載っていたので、個人情報の扱いには注意してほしいと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour.

I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!
午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる2時間半のツアーは最高でした!時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます!他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます!

Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.

This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした

This was my first time snorkeling in Hawaii. The weather was the best it had been during our stay, and since it was an afternoon tour, it wasn't cold at all—the timing was perfect! My wife, who can't swim, was able to glide through the water for an hour of snorkeling with the help of a life jacket and fins, thanks to Chieko's clear explanations and teaching style. We were amazed by the colorful small fish and schools of large parrotfish and ladyfish right in front of us. At one point, Dan called us over, and we saw a sea turtle up close. It was my first time seeing a sea turtle at such a reachable distance, and I was truly moved. I think this was the best snorkeling experience I've ever had. Although I couldn't take good pictures with my underwater camera, I was really glad to be able to download photos from Dan's Facebook. Thank you for a wonderful time that I could get lost in. Next time, I plan to join this tour again with my daughter and her husband and my grandchildren.
ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてでした。

I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).
Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.
Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.
If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.
My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.
On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.
イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便(9時集合)だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです(笑)。
8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。
イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。
泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。
9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。
2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! This time of year is the dolphin birthing season, and some dolphins may be swimming faster, so the tour might have been a bit challenging. I hope your whole family enjoyed it! If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to come back and visit again. Thank you, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! この時期はイルカの出産シーズンで一部のイルカの泳ぎが速くなっていることもあり、ツアーは少しハードだったかと思います。ご家族皆様、お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか? また機会がございましたら皆様で遊びにお越しいただければと思います。ありがとうございました、MAHALO!!

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared here and there in the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was fun, and I also enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.
The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was not just about the taste; it was comforting, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.
ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。
海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

Previously, I participated in this tour during my honeymoon and was moved by the sea turtles, so this time I joined with my two children, making it a family of four. At the sandbar, we played volleyball with the staff and other participants, and a Japanese staff member took some wonderful photos for us, which was a lot of fun. The hamburger we had on the boat was as delicious as rumored. Thank you very much!
以前、新婚旅行で参加してウミガメに感動したので、今回子どもを2人連れて家族4人で参加しました。
サンドバーではスタッフの方や他の参加者さんとバレーボールをしたり、日本人スタッフの方にステキな写真を撮ってもらったりして、とても楽しめました。
船の上で食べたハンバーガーも噂通りとても美味しかったです。
ありがとうございました!

It was truly amazing. We searched for dolphins from the boat, and as soon as we spotted them, we put on our snorkels and dove into the sea! Underwater, there was a large group of dolphins, creating a magical world! After playing a bit with the dolphins, we moved on to the next snorkeling spot… this time, there were three sea turtles! Swimming with the sea turtles was the best moment! Despite a hurricane approaching that day, the visibility was outstanding, and I don't think the conditions could have been better. While the presence of wildlife and sea conditions depend on luck, I feel like we used up all our luck this time because it was just incredible!! In the end, we all did a hula dance together, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again with my family next time.
本当に凄かったです。船上からイルカを探してイルカを発見したらすぐにシュノーケルをつけて海にダイブ!
海の中ではイルカの大群がいて幻想的な世界でした!
イルカの大群の中で少し遊んでからは次のシュノーケルポイントへ…今度はウミガメが3匹も居ました!
ウミガメとも一緒に泳げて最高の一時でした!
当日はハリケーンが来てるという中透明度もバツグンでこれ以上のコンディションは無いのじゃかいかな?というぐらい良かったです。
自然の生き物と海のコンディションは運次第だけど、今回は全ての運を使い果たしたのじゃないかな?というぐらい最高でした!!
最後はフラダンスもみんなでして楽しかったです!
今度は家族と参加したいです。
Aloha!!

Mike and his staff we very nice and pleasant to be around as this was mine and my wife's first time snorkeling. The boat ride was comfortable, the sand bar was a fun expreience and was also a nice way to get comfortable using the equipment. Staff was very attentive while we were in the water and made sure everyone was safe. Would recommend this to anyone!

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.
I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.
The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.
I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!
シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。
セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。
成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!
Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.
I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.
朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました!
寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。
Thank you for your message. I'm glad you were able to see dolphins. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Some people may experience seasickness due to jet lag, so if possible, I recommend joining the dolphin tour on the second day or later.
書き込みありがとうございます。イルカが見れてよかったです。またハワイにお越しの際は、遊びに来てください。時差ボケで船酔いする方もいらっしゃいますので、ドルフィンツアーへのご参加は、もしできましたら、2日目以降をおすすめします。

The tour staff were very kind and had great energy! Since a Japanese person was guiding us, I felt very reassured participating! I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for me, which was disappointing. I want to try again next time!! The hamburgers at lunch were also great because they grilled the patties right there, giving it a BBQ feel, and I was very satisfied!
ツアースタッフの方々がとても親切でノリがいい!日本人の方がガイドしてくれたのでとても安心して参加できました!運が良ければウミガメと泳ぐこともできるとのことだったのですが、それは叶わなかったのが残念です。次はリベンジしたい!!昼のハンバーガーもその場でパテを焼いてくれるのでBBQ感覚も味わえてとても満足!

It seems the waves were high and the sea conditions weren't great, but I'm glad you were able to meet the sea turtles and enjoy the waters of Hawaii!
