Due to the high waves, most participants, including my family, experienced seasickness, and the Aloha buckets were in high demand everywhere. We couldn't even see the dolphins underwater.
The onboard lunch and marine sports were canceled, and we had to endure three hours on a rocking boat, returning on the bus while eating the Burger King hamburgers that were supposed to be served on the boat.
It's important to be cautious, as depending on the weather and wave conditions, there is a significant risk of disappointment and wasting a lot of money. If the weather had been good, it might have been a much more moving experience.
I felt that they continued the tour even with relatively large waves, possibly because they had the boat and crew secured. It's better not to join too easily just because you want to swim with dolphins.
波の高い中での催行で、私の家族も含め参加者のほとんどは船酔い状態でアロハバケツがあちこちで大活躍するハメに。イルカを水中で見ることも叶わず。
船上ランチやマリンスポーツも中止となり、大揺れの船上で3時間耐える羽目になり、帰りのバスで本来船上で提供されるはずだったバーガーキングのハンバーガーを食べながら帰ることに。
天候や波の状態次第では大きく期待外れ&大金を捨てる可能性があるので注意が必要です。天気さえ良ければ大きな感動があったかも。
船やクルーをおさえているからか、ある程度の大きな波でも中止にはせず催行となるのかと感じました。イルカと泳ぎたいからと安易に参加しないほうがベター。

First, we had a meal at the buffet, which included a simple hula dance show. Guests can join in and have fun dancing together. The food was delicious, especially the carved roast beef and the sherbet for dessert. There was also a treasure hunt game for small children. The show featured live music, and the female singer's voice was particularly good. I highly recommend it.
最初にバフェで食事をしますが、簡単なフラダンスショーがあります。お客さんも一緒に踊ったりして盛りあげてもらえます。食事も美味しかった。ローストビーフの切り分けや、デザートのシャーベットがGood.小さな子供には宝探しゲームもあった。ショーは生演奏で特に女性歌手の歌声がよかった。おすすめです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii.

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。
Aloha, Maki,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University tour!
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!

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 torn between choosing a plan without a guide, but I made the right decision by going with this one! As expected from an expert guide, they were very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay and showed us the best spots for turtles and fish based on the day's sea conditions. We were able to meet and swim with the turtles, and we encountered schools of different types of fish twice, feeling as if we were swimming inside an aquarium. Thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves efficiently and safely, creating the best memories.
Even in summer, being in the water for long periods can surprisingly cool your body down, so I think those who are sensitive to the cold should wear a wetsuit or rash guard to enjoy it even more.
ガイドなしのプランと迷ったのですが、こちらにして大正解でした!さすが達人ガイドさん。ハナウマ湾を熟知していて、その日の海の状況から亀や魚のいそうな場所を案内してくれました。そして亀に会うことができ、一緒に泳ぐことができました。また、違った種類の魚の群れにも2回遭遇し、さながら水族館の水槽の中を泳いでいる気分でした。ガイドさんのおかげで、効率よく安全に楽しむことができ、最高の思い出をつくることができました。
夏でも長時間水に浸かっていると意外に体が冷えるので、寒がりの方はウエットスーツやラッシュガードを着用した方が、より楽しめると思います。

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!

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。

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!

I chose the 2-hour horseback riding course. There were many people at the reception, but most seemed to be on the 1-hour course, with only my spouse and I, along with what appeared to be three American family members, in the 2-hour group! We had one instructor for every five people, which was an excellent condition to start with.
This was my second time at Kualoa, and although I have ridden horses several times domestically, the scenery and comfort of this course were so exceptional that it’s hard to put into words how "amazing" it was. The instructor explained everything in English, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but we managed to listen intently. We also communicated with the American father, and their smiles and the charming movements of their horses helped make the experience enjoyable and the two hours flew by. (Since preparation and explanations take about 20 to 30 minutes, some might find the 1-hour course insufficient.) I have a pleasant muscle ache around the inner thigh area, but I can definitely "recommend" this experience!
乗馬2時間コースを選びました。
受付にはたくさんの方がいたのですが、大半の方は1時間コースのようで、2時間組は我々夫婦のほかに、(おそらく)アメリカ人の親子3人だけ!
5人に一人のインストラクターが付き、この上ない条件でのスタート。
クアロアは二度目、国内でも何度か馬に乗った経験はありますが、今回のコースの景色と気持ちよさは、言葉で表現するのが難しいくらいの”最高”でした。
インストラクターは英語での説明、我々にはちょっと高いハードルでしたが、何とか必死に聞き取りました。USお父さんともコミュニケーションをとり、彼らの笑顔と愛馬の愛嬌ある動きにも助けられ…、楽しくあっという間の2時間でした。(準備と説明で2~30分かかるため、1時間コースでは物足りない方もいるのではないでしょうか?)
内腿の付け根あたりに心地よい筋肉痛が残りますが、間違いなく”おすすめ”できます!

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.

Unlike in Japan, the active facilities were not very crowded, making it comfortable. By the way, bringing food and drinks is completely prohibited, so be careful about that (I regret not checking the rules properly). The kids were very satisfied, sliding down the various slides dozens of times. However, this seems to be the case everywhere; there are long lines at the shops for food and drinks, so it's better to line up early during less busy times to secure lunch. Other than that, it was a comfortable and enjoyable place that I recommend. I felt that it would have been better if we had a little more time to enjoy it. The opening is at 10 AM, and gathering is at 3 PM, so considering the time for entry, changing clothes, and securing food, the actual operating time is until 3 PM.
日本とは違いあまり各アクティブ施設が混んでおらず快適でした。ちなみに飲食物は持ち込み完全禁止ですので要注意です(注意事項を良く確認しないで言った為です、反省)子供たちもスライダー各種を何十回と滑り大満足でした。ただこれは何処でも同じなのでしょうが、飲食を使用と買い求めるショップに大行列になりますので、すいている時間に早めに並んで昼食を確保しておいた方がいいでしょう。それ以外は快適に楽しめたおすすめの場所でした。
楽し買った分、時間がもう少し長ければ良いと感じました
開演10時、集合15時、実際入場、着替え、食事確保など考えると3時の稼働時間になります

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
残念でした

I was worried about the weather, but everything went smoothly. Our group consisted of four family members, another family of four, and a couple. Everyone was Japanese. Swimwear is recommended. Towards the end, there was a service where you get splashed, so you will get wet. I wore aqua shoes so that my footwear wouldn't get wet, but I was told to take them off when jumping. I personally think flip-flops would be fine as long as you are careful not to slip when boarding. If you're worried, wear non-slip shoes. I took photos from above with my own camera and also purchased the photo service SD card for $30. We had two flights with two people each from our family, but we were able to buy the card for all four of us for $30. It seemed like not many others purchased it, but there were about 100 images on the card. It’s a nice keepsake, and I’m glad I bought it. When we got off at the end, I gave the captain a $30 tip for the four of us. I used a total of $60 in cash.
天候が心配でしたが、無事にできました。
ウチが4人家族、他に4人家族がもう1組とカップル1組。
全員が日本人でした。
服装は水着が良いです。
最後の方にサービス?の尻ポチャがあり、濡れます。
履物は濡れても良いように、アクアシューズを履いていきましたが
飛ぶ時に裸足になるように言われ、脱ぎました。
乗船の時に滑らないように気を付ければ、ビーサンでも良いかなと
個人的には思います。心配なら滑らない履物で。
自分のカメラで上から撮影して、フォトサービスのSDカードも
30ドルで購入しました。
4人家族で2人ずつの2フライトでしたが、4人分まとめて
30ドルで購入出来ました。
他の方はあまり購入してないようでしたが、カード内に
約100枚の画像が入っていました。
記念に残るし、購入して良かったと思います。

The lower rank of the reserved menu consists of a self-service buffet meal under a tent outside the venue before the performance. The high-level group has their meal seated at tables below the stage. We entered the venue after eating in the tent, but we were in the second-floor seats. The concert starts after the meal.
However, during the meal and on stage, the Hawaiian dancers worked hard to entertain us. The impersonators were only Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, so I wished I could have seen Lady Gaga. My high school freshman daughter, who was with me, seemed to feel like it was all American oldies and yawned.
予約のメニューのランク下は、開演前に会場外のテントの下でセルフビュッフェ式の食事となります。ハイレベルなグループは舞台下でテーブルに座ったままの食事です。我々はテントで食べた後に会場内に入りましたが、二階席。食事の後にコンサートが始まります。
でも食事中も舞台でも、ハワイアンダンサーが一生懸命に盛り上げてくれました。そっくりさんはプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンだけだったので、レディーガガを観たかったなあ。一緒にいた高1の娘はアメリカの懐メロばかりに感じてあくびをしておりました。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

On the day I signed up, I received a cancellation call from the local company around 9 AM due to strong winds (I was glad I used the hotel phone since I didn't have an overseas phone). They asked if I wanted to reschedule for another day, and I initially canceled. However, since the weather was bad and other optional activities were also canceled, I had some free time and was able to adjust the schedule via email and participate again. As an option, having the staff take photos while flying costs an additional $30 (including an SD card, which they hand over to you). Also, since I had a great time, I gave a tip to the boat staff.
申し込んだ日は強風のため、午前9時頃ホテルに直接現地の会社から中止の電話が来ました(海外用の電話は持っていなかったので、ホテルの電話にしておいて良かったです)。別の日にするか聞かれ一度キャンセルしたのですが、天候が悪く他のオプション参加も中止になったため時間が空いてしまい、再度メールにて日程調整して参加することができました。オプションとして、飛んでいるところをスタッフに撮影してもらうと+30ドルです(SDカード込みで、そのまま渡してくれます)。又、楽しかったので、ボートのスタッフへチップを渡しました。

Aloha, Aloha Bucket,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. It seems that the ocean conditions were not favorable. Even in poor conditions, there are times when you can swim slowly with the dolphins, so we trust the captain's judgment and set sail. Our tours are dependent on nature, including the weather, the sea, and wild animals, and each tour is different. Please feel free to use the scholarship program again and come visit us! Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度はイルカ大学にご参加下さり有難うございました。
海のコンディションが悪かったようですね。
コンデションが悪くてもイルカとゆっくり泳げることもあるので
それを信じてキャプテンの判断を元に出航しております。
自然相手の弊社ツアー、お天気や海、野生の生き物で成り立っており、
毎回ツアーは異なります。
ぜひまた奨学金制度を利用して、遊びに来て下さい!
