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>

Wild dolphins♡ 野生のイルカ♡

Reviewed by: J&Y

I love dolphins and have swum with them in various places, but this was my first time with wild dolphins!!

Unlike the dolphins in captivity, I was nervous about whether I would actually see them in the wild, but the staff worked hard alongside us to find them, and I was able to see many dolphins up close!

Thanks to the dolphin-loving staff, it was truly a fun and happy experience.

イルカ大好きで、いろいろなところでイルカと泳いできましたが、野生のイルカは初めて!!

飼育されているイルカとは違い、野生なので逢えるかドキドキでしたが、スッタフも一緒になって一生懸命さがしてくださり、たくさんのイルカを間近で見られることができました!

イルカ好きのスタッフのみなさんのおかげで、本当に楽しくて幸せな時間でした。

The sandbar had beautiful weather, and I was able to take stunning photos. The snorkeling was satisfying with plenty of fish. I swam for the entire time, so much so that my legs hurt the next day; I was completely absorbed in it.

An absolute must do. My wife did not want to go in, but through the reassurance of the guys she did and was happy she did. The crew was great. At first there is lots of anxiety and then it lessens. Swimming with those majestic animals is beyond words. It must be experience. Again thanks guys

Sandbar サンドバー

Reviewed by: ゆみちゃん

This time, I signed up for a short course that included a light meal (sandwich and tea). I was excited from before arriving at the port, guided by the cheerful and energetic staff. They even helped us look for cute sea turtles while cruising... During the sandbar snorkeling, many staff members were there to watch over us properly... The ocean is truly beautiful. It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.

今回は軽食付(サンドイッチと紅茶)の短いコースを申し込みました。
元気のいい明るいスタッフに案内されて港到着前からわくわくです。
クルーズしながらかわいいウミガメも探してくれて・・・
サンドバー・シュノーケリング時も多くのスタッフがきちんと見守ってくれて・・・
やっぱり海が美しいです。
個人で行けない場所なので少しお値段は高めかもしれません。
サンドバーは自然のものなので時間帯によっては深いです(笑)
でもワイキキとは違う楽しみ方が出来る安心の楽しいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

Dolphin University イルカ大学

Reviewed by: 230

Three years ago, I participated in Dolphin Junior High, and this time I joined Dolphin University. We encountered dolphins right after departing, and later we got incredibly close to dolphins and sea turtles, which was thrilling! We even took a two-shot photo with a sea turtle, making it the best day ever. I'm going to work hard and save money so I can definitely come back to Hawaii in two years!!!

3年前にイルカ中学に参加して今回は、イルカ大学に参加しました。出港してすぐにイルカと遭遇してその後もイルカ・ウミガメに大接近して手が届くような場面に大興奮です。ウミガメとの2ショット写真も撮っていただき最高の1日でした。2年後にまた参加できるように仕事を頑張って貯金して絶対にハワイに来るぞー!!!

I was moved to see so many dolphins, sea turtles, seals, and sharks!! 沢山のイルカ・ウミガメ・アザラシ・サメを見れて感動!!

Reviewed by: めーちゃん

I'm really glad I participated in this tour! The guide, Julie, was bright and cheerful, which made me feel at ease, and there were plenty of staff members, which was reassuring.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the water was clear, and I was able to snorkel and swim with many wild dolphins, fulfilling my childhood dream of "swimming with dolphins"! The baby dolphins were especially cute.

I also got to see four sea turtles, and I was really lucky to see a rare baby seal, one of only 250 in Hawaii! I was able to see many colorful fish up close, almost as if I was in an aquarium, and although it was a bit scary, I even encountered three sharks (*^▽^*).

In the end, we all danced the hula together; it was a fun and moving tour overall. Since the dolphins are wild, you can't always expect to see the same number, but it's a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it! (^^)/

本当に参加してよかったツアーでした!
ガイドをしてくださったジュリーさんも明るく元気な方で、安心感が持てましたし、
スタッフさんの数も多くて心強かったです。
ツアー当日は、天気も良く、海の透明度も高くて、沢山の野生のイルカとシュノーケリングで一緒に泳ぐことができて、小さいころからの「イルカと一緒に泳ぐ」という夢を叶えることができました!
特にイルカの赤ちゃんが可愛かったです。
ウミガメも4匹見ることができましたし、ハワイに250頭しかいないアザラシの中でもさらに貴重な赤ちゃんを見ることができて本当にラッキーでした!
水族館の水槽の中で泳いでいるのかと思うくらいの、沢山のカラフルなお魚も近くで見れましたし、ちょっと怖かったですが、サメにも3頭会えました(*^▽^*)

最後はみんなでフラダンスを踊ったり、とにかく楽しくて感動のあるツアーでした。
イルカは野生なのでいつも同じ数出会えるわけではないそうで、
運もありますが、とても素敵な思い出になりますので、オススメです(^^)/

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Shelby

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.

My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.

If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

Revenge!! リベンジ!!

Reviewed by: にぃな

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!

When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.

The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.

2年前に参加した際に、最悪の天気で残念な思いをしました。今回もしっかりと干潮を調べていきました。あとは天気だけ!!
日本を出発する際に、カネオヘは雨予報だったのでキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、一か八かキャンセルせずにハワイへ出発。ハワイに着いた時にはカネオヘの天気が晴れになっていました!もしかしてこれは期待できるかもしれないと思いながらバスに乗り込み出発。
思っていたよりも水位は高かったけど、晴天に恵まれてリベンジが出来ましたー。2回目だったのでシュノーケルはせずに、写真ばっかり撮っていました。
水がキレイなのでウミガメちゃんも何頭も見ることができて、しっかり願い事をすることもできました。水位が低い時には是非オススメです。

So many dolphins!! たくさんのイルカ!!

Reviewed by: にぃな

The main purpose of this trip to Hawaii was to swim with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to it. The photographer, Mike, who joined us was incredibly energetic from the morning, which gave me a boost (laughs). We studied about dolphins until we arrived at the harbor. Once we got to the harbor, we took a bathroom break. We arrived earlier than scheduled, so there was quite a bit of waiting time. The waves were pretty high that day, and the boat was rocking, but thanks to the motion sickness medication, I was fine.

While we were listening to the explanation about life jackets and fins, we learned that dolphins had already been spotted! It had only been about 10 minutes since we left the shore. It seems that encountering dolphins so close to the shore is quite rare.

I had seen reviews from others and thought we would be going in and out multiple times, but during our first entry into the water, we encountered quite a few dolphins. I had an underwater digital camera, so when I filmed, you could hear their squeaks too! The tour guide mentioned that the day before, they hadn’t seen any dolphins, so it seems we were lucky to meet so many this time.

After our first swim, we moved on to turtle watching, followed by snorkeling. The university group was kayaking. After that, we returned to the open water, and there was another group of dolphins!! It was truly moving.

The family that participated with us seemed quite tired, but I was so excited that I felt completely energized. I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it! ♪

今回のハワイ旅行の一番の目的がイルカと一緒に泳ぐことだったので、とっても楽しみにしていました。
今回同席したカメラマンのマイク。朝からものすごいハイテンションで、元気をもらいました(笑)ハーバーに着くまではイルカについての勉強をします。ハーバーに着いたらトイレ休憩。予定よりも早く着いたので、結構な待ち時間がありました。この日は波が結構高く船は揺れたと思いますが、酔い止めのおかげで大丈夫でした。
ライフジャケットやフィンの説明を聞いているときに、すでにイルかちゃんが見つかっているとのこと!まだ沖から出て10分くらい??こんな沖の近くでイルカちゃんに会えるのはなかなか珍しいことらしい。
みなさんのクチコミを見ていて、何度も入ったり出たりを繰り返すのかと思っていましたが、1回目の入水でかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えました。水中で使用できるデジカメを持っていたので、動画を撮影するとキューキューと鳴き声も入っていましたよー。前日はイルカちゃんを見る事が出来なかったとツアーのお姉さんが言っていたので、今回はかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えてラッキーだったようです。
1回の入水のあとは、移動してウミガメウォッチング。続いでシュノーケルです。大学の方はカヤックなどをしていました。その後沖に戻るのですが、またイルカちゃんの群れ!!本当に感動です。
一緒に参加した家族はかなり疲れたようですが、私は楽しさの方が優先して全然元気でした。また機会があれば参加したいと思えるツアーです!オススメですよ♪

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

First snorkeling at the age of 66 as a senior. シニア66歳にして初シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: へんちゃん

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.

夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。

Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: ニコちゃん大王

I carefully checked the times for high and low tides before participating (laughs). Since the tide goes out only a few times a year, I recommend joining during the times when the water level is as low as possible♡

It was a day with both sunshine and clouds, but when the sun shone, the sea sparkled beautifully!! It was so much fun to ride the boat and swim freely!

The buffet on the boat was beautifully arranged and tasted much better than I expected, so I had a lot☆

Also, when you get on the boat, your body can get cold, and it feels chilly when the wind blows, so I recommend bringing a hoodie and a bath towel if you're sensitive to the cold♡

満潮干潮の時間を綿密に調べて参加しました(笑)
本当に潮がなくなるのは年に数回なので、できるだけ水位が低い時間帯に参加するのがオススメです♡

晴れたり曇ったりの一日でしたが陽射しが当たると海がキラキラ輝いて本当に綺麗!!
ボートに乗ったり自由に泳いだりも出来てめっちゃ楽しいです!

As soon as we headed out to sea, the dolphins appeared!! They were swimming right next to us! Everyone jumped in one by one, and the staff worked hard to guide us to where the dolphins were☆

Then, right in front of us and just below, there were dolphins!! Seeing the dolphins up close, their eyes weren't wide open but half-closed (laughs), and it felt like they understood something, which was a bit thrilling (laughs).

The hamburgers, snacks, and juice on the boat weren't anything particularly fancy, but they were delicious♡

Chinatsu, the kind and straightforward staff member, truly loves dolphins and made a great effort to convey their charm, which impressed me!

The dolphin tour with the gentle captain and cheerful staff was the best time☆ Thank you so much♡

By the way, in February, while there was some sunshine, it was still a bit chilly, so I had a hand warmer in my hoodie pocket.

Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication early to prevent seasickness~

For those who will be participating, please enjoy it♡

海へ出てすぐイルカ先生登場!!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Snorkeling was satisfying. シュノーケリングは満足

Reviewed by: 菊千代

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.

Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.

We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.

There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.

However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.

The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.

The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.

集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

Satisfied! 満足!

Reviewed by: hiiro

The moment I entered the sea, I was able to see a sea turtle up close! The dolphins also came by about five or six times. I was very satisfied to see them up close! I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were a few people who were feeling seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

海に入った瞬間ウミガメがすごく近くで見れました!
イルカも、5,6回は来てくれたでしょうか。
近くで見ることができとても満足でした!
私は酔い止めを飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いしてる方が何人かいたので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいと思います!

Beautiful sea!! キレイな海!!

Reviewed by: ましゅまろ

It was very beautiful!! I was satisfied because I could see many sea turtles. However, surprisingly, it was deep until we reached the sandbar... I think it depends on the season, but some women were submerged up to their chests. In the photos, it looks like it's only knee-deep, so be careful as there were people who couldn't enter because they weren't wearing swimsuits.

とってもきれいでした!!海亀もたくさん見れたので満足です。
ただ、以外とサンドバーにたどり着くまでが深いです。。。時期にもよるのだと思いますが女性の方は胸のあたりまで浸かりました。

Heavenly tour that left me completely satisfied. 大満足の天国ツアー

Reviewed by: 中村パーソン

After arriving by bus from Waikiki, we set off on a boat! Our energetic Japanese guide provided a humorous sightseeing tour, and we reached the heavenly sea! At high tide, the water was up to our waists, and the contrast between the blue sea, the Ko'olau mountain range, and the emerald green sandbar was stunning. After enjoying the sandbar for about an hour, it was lunch time! The freshly grilled hamburgers from the boat's BBQ were delicious!

Next, we went on a turtle watching adventure while listening to the captain play the ukulele and sing! Luckily, a big turtle greeted us right in front of the boat. After that, we went snorkeling over a large coral reef! Before snorkeling, our Japanese guide carefully explained important safety precautions in an easy-to-understand manner, which made us feel very secure. Finally, we donned our fins, masks, and life jackets and entered the water! The clear sea was filled with many fish and corals, allowing us to enjoy a unique snorkeling experience. Other guests were able to swim with the turtles, which was enviable! Additionally, the local staff kept a close eye on safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

ワイキキからバスで到着後、ボートで出発!日本人の元気なガイドさんから冗談交えての観光ガイドもしてもらいながら天国の海へ到着!満潮で腰までつかるほどで、青い海とクアロア山脈とサンドバーのエメラルドグリーンのコントラストが最高でした。1時間ほどサンドバーを堪能した後はランチtime!ボートのBBQで焼きあがった出来たてのハンバーガーはとても美味しかった!
お次は船長のウクレレと生歌を聴きながらホヌウォッチングへ!運よくビッグなホヌがボートの前で迎えてくれました。その後は大きなサンゴの沖合でシュノケーリング!シュノケーリングの前には日本人ガイドさんから安全に関わる大切な諸注意を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれてとても安心しました。いざ、足ヒレ、マスク、ライフジャケットを着用して着水!透明な海の中にはたくさんの魚とサンゴがいて沖合ならではのシュノケーリングを楽しむことができました。他のお客さんはホヌと泳ぐことができたそうです。羨ましい!また、現地スタッフの方々も安全面に目を光らせていて安心して楽しむことができました。大満足なtourでした!

Rather than swimming with dolphins... イルカと泳ぐというよりは・・・

Reviewed by: おさる

It felt like we were swimming with all our might to chase after the dolphins, haha.

It can be quite tiring, but it's a fun event. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, they provide free life jackets and fins, so you'll manage somehow.

I had imagined playing with the dolphins, so it was a bit disappointing that the experience was different from what I expected. But I did get to see wild dolphins.

Since they are wild, whether they come close to people or swim away depends on their mood that day.

On the day we went, it seemed like a pod of bottlenose dolphins was nearby, and the long-beaked dolphins with their young seemed to be panicking and escaping.

Whether you get to play with the dolphins is probably a matter of luck.

イルカのいるところまで全力で泳いで追いかける感じでしたw

なかなか疲れますが楽しいイベントではあります。
泳ぎに自信が無くてもライフジャケットとフィンが無料で付いてくるので、どうにかなります。

イルカと戯れるイメージを想定していたので、
何となく違う結果だったのは残念。
でも野生のイルカに会えました。

野生だから、イルカの気分で人の近くに来るか、逃げるか、それはその日次第のようです。

入った日は近くにバンドウイルカの群れが来ていたようで、
子どもを連れたハシナガイルカたちは焦って逃げていたみたいですね。

イルカと戯れられるかどうかは運次第でしょう。

A funky school! ファンキーな学校!

Reviewed by: 池田 裕子

I received a confirmation call the evening before, and they asked if I would like to change to the 9:00 AM flight since the early morning flight on the day of the reservation was extremely full. I gladly accepted! I was thinking that early mornings would be tough due to jet lag, so it worked out perfectly (*´∇`*).

A blue school bus with "Meimon Iruka Junior High" written on it arrived in front of the hotel. All the staff members were cheerful and fun people.

Since there were few of us, we all introduced ourselves one by one during the ride. This was really enjoyable! With everyone sharing information, a sense of camaraderie among classmates started to develop.

It took about an hour by school bus to reach the Ko Olina area in the northern part of Oahu, and we arrived at the port after a fun commute. After about 20 to 30 minutes, the boat carrying the first group returned. There were indeed a lot of people... I'm glad we switched to the second group!

We boarded a luxurious two-story cruise ship and traveled for about 20 minutes to the dolphin point. Whenever we spotted dolphins, everyone would jump in, but the dolphins would often get startled and swim away. The boat would quietly approach the dolphin pods, allowing us to jump in one by one and swim towards the dolphins with all our might.

Wearing a simple life jacket and small fins made floating easy, but swimming was a bit tough.

Even when we swam, the dolphins would escape! They swam right under us at times. We could see the dolphins' dorsal fins from a distance.

I brought a special camera for diving, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture any images of the dolphins.

After several attempts, everyone was able to see the dolphins with their own eyes, and then we moved to the point where the turtles were. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, as if to say, "Is now the time to jump in?"

At the turtle point, we enjoyed snorkeling. It was a fun day filled with laughter. Thank you very much!

簡易版ライフジャケットを着用して、小さなフィンを装着しているので浮いているのは楽だけど泳ぐにはちょっとしんどいw

泳いでもイルカさんは逃げますwww

遠めにイルカさんの背びれも見えました。

ダイビングをするので、専用のカメラを携えて行きましたが、イルカさんの姿を撮影する事は出来なかったのが残念。

何度かのトライで全員がイルカさんを肉眼で確認できたところで終了。

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

I didn't want to get my hopes up..

Reviewed by: Jill

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy myself without feeling sick. According to the staff, taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding works best!

On the bus to the boat, the staff talked about snorkeling tips. All the staff members were enthusiastic, cheerful, and fun(^ ^).

We saw so many dolphins! The staff was excited too.

The activities on the boat were enjoyable as well. They played the ukulele, danced, and we had lunch!

On the way back, they were selling photos, so I bought some, and I’m really glad I did. It's hard to take underwater photos by yourself. They are all truly beautiful pictures. I highly recommend it.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you!

船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いすることなく楽しめました。スタッフさん曰く、酔い止め薬は乗船の30分前に飲むと効きやすいそうです!

However this year was high tide and didn't have the beach, but still enjoyed to peace and quiet though. From there, I traveled all the back to Kailua, and kept on going north until it was time to go back. Then choose Bobs pizza, cannot go wrong. Will I go back and do this again; for sure!!

The Angel Sea is really beautiful! 天使の海はめっちゃキレイ!

Reviewed by: じおにっく

After about 15 minutes on the boat, we reached the point where we could see sea turtles. You can only catch a glimpse of them when they come up for air, so it goes by quickly, but it’s quite exciting when you do see them.

After that, we went to the Angel's Sea. The view of the transparent emerald green sea, white sandy beach, blue sky, and white clouds spread out before us was breathtaking! I really felt it was worth going.

After eating a hamburger, we went to the coral reef for snorkeling. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the water clarity wasn't that great that day.

船に乗って15分くらいして、ウミガメが見れるポイントへ。
息継ぎをする瞬間しか見れないので、あっという間ですが、見れたときは結構嬉しいです。
その後に天使の海。透明なエメラルドグリーンの海、白い砂浜、青い空、白い雲が一面に広がっている景色は圧巻です!本当に行って良かったと思いました。

Awesome! But... 最高!でも・・

Reviewed by: マッコリ

Meeting at 5:30 in the morning was tough, and waking up was a struggle. Additionally, it took about an hour to drive from Waikiki to Waianae Harbor by bus, and the bus ride was quite rough and scary. Perhaps due to being pressed for time, the driver sped along much faster on the way there compared to the return trip.

However, the snorkeling experience where we could see dolphins up close was absolutely amazing. Swimming with the dolphins in the crystal-clear sea became one of the best memories of my life. We swam for about 30 minutes while chasing the dolphins, and although my wife started to feel tired and wanted to return to the boat, she held on and kept up with the group.

After returning to the boat, the effects of waking up early, the rough bus ride, the 30 minutes of swimming, and the swaying of the boat while anchored led to many people feeling seasick. The benches on the second deck of the boat were filled with people lying down.

The hamburgers were simply made by putting the ingredients we brought between buns, and they weren't particularly delicious. I think this option requires going to bed early the night before, being tough against motion sickness and seasickness, and having enough stamina to keep swimming for a while. Additionally, I would appreciate it if the dolphin snorkeling allowed for more flexibility in returning to the boat based on individual needs.

While I’ve mentioned various negative aspects, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was still the best time. The Japanese staff and local crew were all fun and kept us entertained with plenty of talks, songs, and dances.

By the way, during the tour, many photos are taken, and you can purchase all the photos taken that day from that camera for a flat fee of 5,000 yen, either as data or via email.

早朝5時半過ぎに集合で朝起きるのが辛かった。
さらに、ワイキキからバスで1時間ほど高速を走らせワイアナエハーバーまで行くが、バスの運転が荒く恐かった。時間に追われてるためか、帰りに比べ行くときは飛ばす飛ばす・・。
しかし、メインのイルカを間近で見ることができたシュノーケリングは最高でした。透き通る海の中をイルカ達と泳げたことは、人生でも最高の思い出となりました。
イルカを追いながら30分は泳いだか、だんだん疲れてきて妻は船に戻りたかったようだが、団体行動のため我慢して着いて行った。
船に戻ってからは、早朝起床&荒い運転のバス&30分泳&停泊中の船の横揺れなどもろもろの影響で、船酔い者が続出。船の2階デッキのベンチは横たわる人達が多数。
ハンバーガーは持ち込みの具材をただパンズで挟んだだけで特別おいしいわけではありません。
このオプションは前日の早めの就寝と、車酔い&船酔いにタフであることと、ある程度泳ぎ続ける体力が必要だと思いました。さらに、イルカシュノーケリングも個人に合わせ自由に船に戻れる配慮がほしいです。
とまあ、いろいろネガティブなことも書きましたが、それをもってしてもイルカと泳いだ時間は最高の時間でした。進行役の日本人スタッフや現地のスタッフは楽しい方達ばかりで、飽きさせないようにたくさんトークや歌や踊りを披露してくれました。
ちなみに、ツアー中たくさん写真を撮ってもらえますが、その日そのカメラで撮った写真全てを任意でデータかメールで買うかたちで、一律5,000円です。
