The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.

It seems like it was a very lucky day, as we encountered a pod of dolphins right after departing. We were thrilled to see them jumping on the surface and swimming right below us while we were snorkeling! Since we encountered them early, we had plenty of time with the dolphins. When we moved to another snorkeling spot, we quickly discovered a sea turtle! It came so close that we felt like we could touch it, but there was a rule against touching, so we even yielded the way. The optional photo data sale was $50 for download and $55 for a USB, if I remember correctly. Payment by credit card was possible on the day or during our stay. While the price wasn't cheap, the quality of the hundreds of photos taken by the professional photographer was really high, capturing moments from boarding and the underwater scenery, so it was definitely worth purchasing! It was also fun that the guide and the staff were high-energy and entertaining!
とても運の良い日だったようで、出港してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。海面でジャンプする姿も、シュノーケリングしている私たちの真下を泳ぐ姿も見ることができて大興奮! 早めに遭遇できたためか、イルカとの時間はたっぷりありました。さらに別のシュノーケリングスポットへと場所を変えたら、これまたすぐに海亀を発見!触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれて、でも触ってはいけないルールなので、こちらが道(?)を譲ったほどでした。オプションの写真データ販売は、ダウンロードが$50、USB渡しが$55だったかな? 当日または現地滞在中のクレジットカード払いが可能でした。値段を聞くと安くはありませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが何百枚も撮ってくれた写真は本当にクオリティが高く、乗船時の様子や海中での景色など、本当にたくさんあったので購入して正解でしたよ! ガイドさんを始め、スタッフの方々がハイテンションでおもしろかったのも楽しかったです!!

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!
It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.
It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!

Since my child turned 10, we decided to try the underwater scooter that we couldn't do last year! We read plenty of experiences beforehand, and we were prepared with motion sickness medication and cold weather gear! Although there were no Japanese-speaking staff, the person who welcomed us and took photos was very polite. The other staff members were also attentive, and honestly, it was the best experience I've had among various tours.
Before boarding the boat, we received instructions on how to use the scooter and signed some documents. We were supposed to watch a video, but it seemed to be skipped due to a late-arriving group. The boat could hold about 25 people and did not have a restroom.
Once we arrived at the spot, we quickly spotted sea turtles swimming around!
We experienced the underwater scooter in pairs, then groups of three, and finally four. Since there were three of us, we were in the middle group. We were told we could snorkel freely while waiting, but we decided to wait on the boat until after our turn with the underwater scooter.
The boat rocked quite a bit. It would have been tough without taking motion sickness medication (laughs).
For the underwater scooter, we started with two scooters, going one by one, creating a time gap. When it was our turn, we had three scooters, and I went down first, followed by my child and then my husband. When my child came up, they took a photo of the two of them, and after my husband joined, they took photos and videos of the three of us. After I came up first, they also took pictures of my child and husband. They even used my handheld camera to take some shots!
Underwater, it was as beautiful as I imagined. The round helmet created a strange view, but various fish gathered around the food, allowing us to enjoy watching them up close, while sea turtles swam above us in a mystical world. The 20 minutes flew by. Snorkeling was also fun, as we spotted sea turtles!
When getting on and off the scooter, you have to dive into the sea, so your face gets wet! Also, the staff gives instructions on how to operate the scooter, so it's manageable even for children.
After everyone finished, we returned to the building where we received the initial briefing to check the photos and videos by group. If we liked them, we could proceed to purchase. We could choose either just photos or a set of photos and videos, with prices varying by the number of people. We got the set for $60. Later, a URL was sent to my email for downloading. They advised downloading on a computer since the data size was large.
On the way back, we were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep (laughs).
Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time! It was enjoyable, but the waiting times were a bit tough, so I’m giving it one star less.
子供が10歳になったので去年出来なかった水中スクーターに挑戦!
事前に体験談をしっかり読み、酔い止めヨシ!寒さ対策ヨシ!
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、お迎え+写真撮影のお兄さんは、とても丁寧に対応してくれました。他のスタッフさんもキチンと対応してくれ、今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、正直、一番感じが良かったです。
船に乗る前にスクーターの乗り方の説明と書類に署名をしました。
ホントはビデオも見るようですが、遅れてきたグループがいたため省略したようです。
船はトイレなしの25人くらい乗れる船でした。
ポイントに到着すると、早くも海亀さんを発見!2、3匹泳いでました。
水中スクーターは2人組→3人組→4人組の順で体験しました。
うちは3人でしたので、真ん中くらい。
待ち時間は、自由にシュノーケルをしていいよ!と言われましたが、水中スクーターをやってからにしようと船で待つことにしました。
船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも(笑)。
水中スクーターは最初は2台で、1台ずつ潜っていくので時差ができ、上がって来たら次の人…という感じでした。
うちの順番のときに3台になり、私、子供、旦那の順に潜りました。
子供が潜って来たときに、ふたりの写真を撮ってくれ、旦那が合流して3人の写真や動画を撮り、先に私が上がった後、子供と旦那の写真も撮ってくれました。
あと、手持ちのカメラでも撮ってくれました!
水中は、想像通り綺麗でした。被るやつが丸いので不思議な見え方になりますが、
餌に色々なお魚が集まって来て、目の前でお魚を鑑賞し、頭上を海亀さんが泳いでいる神秘的な世界です。あっという間の20分間でした。
シュノーケルも海亀さんを見かけたり、楽しかったです。
水中スクーターは乗るときと降りるときに海に潜って頭を出し入れするので、顔が濡れます!あと、スクーターの操作は、スタッフさんが指示してくれるので子供でも大丈夫です。
全員終了後、最初に説明を受けた建物に戻り、写真と動画をグループごとに確認して、気に入ったら購入手続きへ。写真のみか写真と動画のどちらか選べ、人数によって値段が異なりました。うちは、写真と動画のセットで$60でした。
後日メールアドレスにURLが送られてきて、ダウンロードするやり方です。
データが大きいのでパソコンでダウンロードしてくれ!と言われました。
帰りの車では疲れて爆睡(笑)。
スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました!
楽しかったのですが、待ち時間の波がきつかったので星マイナス1で。

We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.
After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.
朝の6時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが3頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の1頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。

This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.
There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.
After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.
The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.
If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.
今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです!
11:40ピックアップで午前中も予定入れられました。途中でレナードによってマラサダを買いサンドバーへ。
20-30人で二艘の船に乗り、途中でレナードを配ってくれて食べつつ沖合へ移動します。
サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい?で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました!法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。
スタッフも日本人で何も問題なく過ごせました。

During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。

The ocean was very clear, and I was truly impressed.
I was able to see many dolphins. Their sounds were also audible, and they were really cute.
Makaha Beach
I went snorkeling and saw many sea turtles and small fish swimming around.
Makaha Beach felt like a place that wasn't a typical tourist spot; it was a laid-back beach that I definitely want to visit again.
After enjoying snorkeling at this beach, you can also try stand-up paddleboarding.
Stand-up paddleboarding was exciting and fun, but there was a bit of a rotation system with the vibe of "Okay, you did one round. You stood up! (Next!)", so I felt there was a bit less freedom.
Even so! I thought it was truly valuable to have that much fun and relax just in the morning.
It had a different atmosphere compared to the typical spots like Waikiki, North Shore, and Kailua. I think it's a direction that we don't often go to on our own, but I highly recommend it. I'm really glad I participated!

We sincerely apologize for the times when we couldn't provide enough time for everyone to fully enjoy the marine sports, especially on busy days. We hope you will come back to Dolphin University and give SUP another try! Thank you, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご予約頂きありがとうございました! 西海岸の古き良きハワイをお楽しみいただけたようで幸いです。 お客様が多くいらっしゃる日には皆様に十分にマリンスポーツを楽しんでいただくお時間を取ることが出来ないこともあり、大変申し訳御座いません。 また是非、イルカ大学に遊びに来ていただいて、SUPもリベンジしていただけたらと思います! ありがとうございました、MAHALO!!

This was my second time participating, following last year. The waves were calm and the sea was very beautiful on the day of the event. Under the guidance of Mr. Dan, I was able to see many fish. I was disappointed that I couldn't meet Bob the moray eel this year, but then Ms. Chieko said, "There are turtles." I was thrilled to see a sea turtle underwater! My husband and son got out partway through, but when they realized there were turtles, Ms. Chieko went all the way to the beach to call out, "There are sea turtles!" Their hospitality and guidance were truly amazing. If I can come again next year, I will definitely ask for them! Thank you very much.
昨年に続き、2回目の参加でした。
当日は波も穏やかで海もとても綺麗でした。
ダン先生の誘導のもと、たくさんの魚も見れました。
今年はウツボのボブちゃんに会えず残念・・と思っていたところに、チエコ先生から「亀いるよ」と。海中で海ガメ感激でした❗❗
夫と息子は途中で上がってしまったの ですが、亀がいるのが分かると、チエコ先生はわざわざ、浜まであがり「海ガメいるよ」と声をかけに行ってもくれました。
お二人のホスピタリティ溢れるガイドは本当にサイコー⤴⤴です。
もし、来年も来ることができたら、必ずお願いしようと思います❗
ありがとうございました。
Fuko, thank you for participating with your family for the second time. Your son did even better this year than last year and was very skilled! This was the day we saw the turtle at the end of the second half of the tour. If we had found the turtle a bit earlier, your son and husband could have seen it too... I'm sorry about that. I will do my best to ensure that your whole family can see the turtle and Bob the moray eel next year, so I appreciate your continued support. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ふうこ様、この度はご家族で2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。息子さんも去年よりもっと頑張ってくれてとても上手に出来ていましたよ!この日はツアーの後半の最後に亀を見た日ですね。もう少し早く亀を見つけられたら息子さんや旦那様にも亀を見ていただけたのですが、、、ごめんなさいね。きっと来年こそはご家族皆様で亀やウツボのボブちゃんを見ていただける様、さらに頑張ろうと思っておりますので、今後ともよろしくお願い致します。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族4人で参加しました。8月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド(両手首)を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。(バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした!)シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン!と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのバスの中で写真($60)申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました!

I was very happy to meet both Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. The staff were kind and friendly, making for a wonderful experience. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before going.
イルカ先生にも海がめ教授に出会えてとても良かったです。スタッフの方も親切&フレンドリーで素晴らしい体験をすることができました。
船はけっこう揺れたので酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。
Aloha!! Taro,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School Tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something you can't find in Japan. When you come to the Big Island, we also have manta tours, so we look forward to your next visit.

We had a blast! The instructors were great. You can't do anything about the people who panic in the water... Wish you could though.

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. The explanation was only in English, but it was sufficient. The snorkeling lasted about 30 minutes, which was enough for us. The yacht ride afterwards was very refreshing with the splashes of water. Riding on the yacht became a great memory. The captain was really cool. It departs from Waikiki and returns in the morning, so I recommend it.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでした。説明は英語だけでしたが、それなりに?
シュノーケリングは30分位でしたが、私達には十分でした。
そのあとのヨットは波しぶきをあげて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ヨットに乗れたことがいい思い出になりました。すごくかっこいいキャプテンでした。
ワイキキから出発で午前には帰るのでおすすめです。

It was amazing.
I think it depends on the weather that day, but I encountered a lot of dolphins! The sea turtles also passed right in front of me multiple times, which was touching. However, it was sad to see that the tour guests got too close, making it difficult for the turtles to come up for air...
We also signed up with my grandparents, and people of all ages can enjoy it! I hope we are lucky enough to meet dolphins again next time!
最高でした。
その日その時の天候などに左右されると思いますが、とても沢山のイルカに出会えました!
ウミガメも、目の前を何度も通ってくれて感動。ただ、ツアー客の方々が近づき過ぎてウミガメが息継ぎしにくそうでかわいそうでしたが…
お爺ちゃんお婆ちゃんも一緒に申し込みましたが、どの世代も楽しめます!また次もイルカに出会える運に恵まれますように!
ALOHA! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We are very happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed it! Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you! MAHALO! Dolphin Office
