Oahu
This time, we were able to see dolphins perfectly again. However, I wonder if the water was murkier than last time because it was rough... The staff members were very friendly, and the activities were fun.
今回もばっちりイルカが見れました。
ただ前回より海が濁ってたのは、荒れていたからなのかな...
スタッフの皆さんはとてもフレンドリーで、アクティビティも楽しいです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University this time. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, please come and visit the Dolphin School. 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。また是非ハワイにいらっしゃる機会がございましたらイルカの学校に遊びにいらしてくださいね、MAHALO!!
It was amazing!
There were a variety of slides.
The lazy river didn't flow very much, but I'm glad it was sunny.
最高でした!
スライダーの種類が豊富。
流れるプールはあまり流れなかったけど
晴れてよかったです。
I went snorkeling with my daughter while holding hands and saw dolphins. It was a fleeting moment, but it became an unforgettable memory. However, it was unfortunate that my wife, who joined us, had to hold onto the aloha bucket due to seasickness until the end.
娘と手を繋いでシュノーケルしながらイルカを見ました。一瞬の出来事でしたが忘れられない思い出になりました。ただ、一緒に参加した妻は、船酔いで最後までアロハバケツを抱えていだ事だけが残念でした。

Really nice experience guided by really nice and professional people. Highly recommended.
I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.
We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!
Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.
While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.
The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.
野生のイルカの群れに会えました!
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました!海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました!
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。
イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった?)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。
スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。
This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!
I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.
The pool is a lot of fun, and the slide is easy to ride. There were times when no one was at the slide start point, which might be due to a lack of staff. It's different from the safety standards in Japan. My 11-year-old daughter found the slide too intense and said she would never ride it again.
I wanted a place to rest, so I reserved a cabana in advance. It came with a private float and water. My daughter got sick from playing too much in the wave pool, and we were able to relax on the cabana bed. We also had lunch in the shade. You can have lunch delivered to you as well. We were able to close the curtains and change clothes too. I'm really glad I reserved the cabana.
プールはとても楽しいし、スライダーもスイスイ乗れます
スタッフが足りないのかスライダースタート地点に誰もいない事がありました。日本の安全感覚とは違うのですね〜
11歳の娘はスライダーの激しさに二度と乗りませんでした。
休憩できる場所がほしくてカバナを事前に頼んでおきました
専用浮き輪も、水等も付いていて♩
波のプールで遊びすぎた娘が酔ってしまい、カバナのベッドでゆっくり休めました。ランチタイムも日陰でとれました。ランチを届けてもらう事もできます。
カーテンしめて着替えも出来ました♩
本当にカバナは予約しておいてよかったです
The sandbar was a bit different from the photos as it was submerged in the sea that day, but I still enjoyed it. The snorkeling afterwards was great as I could freely explore around the coral. I even got to see sea turtles from the boat. Surprisingly, the hamburgers were freshly grilled and very delicious, making for a satisfying day!
サンドバーはこの日は海につかっていてちょっと写真と違いましたが、楽しめました。その後のシュノーケリングも珊瑚の周りを自由に見れてよかったです。船でウミガメにも会えました。
意外?にハンバーガーが焼き立てでとても美味しく満足の1日でした!
We had a great time on our adventure across the galaxy and would highly recommend! Our favorite part was seeing the rings of Saturn from different angles and even seeing one star that had exploded 60,000 years ago and you can still see it exploding to this day
Mahalo !!
Nice folks running the show, met a couple people who are now on my FB friends. Hubby was able to get another burger! Playing Volleyball out in the middle of the Ocean is quite an XP. Plus, we get to see Turtles swimming around. So overall, a success!
Snorkeling and sea kayaking were both amazing experiences. Of course, the sandbar is in the best location, so there's no need to explain how great it is!
シュノーケリングもSAP 、シーカヤック も体験でき、とても最高でした。もちろん、サンドバーは、最高の位置に到着しますので、説明するまでもなく最高です‼️
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Beach Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It seems you were able to take on various activities! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんで頂いたようでとても嬉しく思います。色々とActivitiesに挑戦出来たんですね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I took two elementary school students with me!
It was quite empty, probably because it was late August!
However, the attractions were scheduled at specific times, so there were times when they were operating and times when they weren't. We were all wondering if there was a shortage of part-time workers.
There was a Japanese advisor-like person, but their attitude wasn't good. The local staff were much friendlier...
小学生二人を連れて行きました!
8月下旬だったせいか、空いてました!!
でも アトラクションが時間で割り振っているので
やっているときとやってないときがありましたので、
アルバイト不足かな??ってみんなで話してました。
日本人のアドバイサーみたいな方がいましたが、態度はよくなかったです。
現地の方のほうがとっても親切でした・・・・
I participated in a submarine tour for the first time. At first, I waited and waited at the meeting point for the 9:30 tour, but no one came, and it was almost 10:00. I started to worry that I had gone to the wrong place and was about to give up when the pickup finally arrived. Although we started off on a negative note, the submarine tour itself was great. We got to see sea turtles, and the kids were excited throughout their first experience in a submarine and seeing the underwater scenery. Not only was the underwater experience amazing, but the views from the boat were also fantastic. We could see Diamond Head the whole time, and we took a lot of great photos. It became a wonderful memory of our time in Hawaii, and I am very satisfied.
初めて潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
最初、9:30の集合場所に待っても待っても迎えが来ず、時間は10:00前に。場所を間違えてしまったのかと不安になり、もう無理だと諦めかけたところに遅れて迎えが到着。スタートはマイナスからでしたが、潜水艦ツアー自体は良かったです。海亀も見れたし、子供達も初めての潜水艦や海底の景色に終始興奮気味でした。海の中も去ることながら、船からの景色も最高でした。ずっとダイヤモンドヘッドが見え、たくさんいい写真がとれました。ハワイでの良い思い出になり、大満足です。
The boat to the submarine was quite rocky, but the submarine itself didn't sway much, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which made me very satisfied. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
潜水艦に行くまでの船が結構揺れましたが、潜水艦はあまり揺れず、魚もたくさん見ることができ、満足でした。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
Good points:
The night view of Waikiki from the boat was very beautiful and satisfying!
Bad points:
The meeting place was shared with other activities, which made it very confusing.
The fireworks are more beautiful in Japan.
The light meal course had few items and was simple. It wasn't enough for dinner.
良い点
船上からのワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で満足でしたよ!
悪い点
集合場所が他のアクティビティーと一緒でとても迷いました。
花火は日本の方が綺麗です。
軽食コースは品数もなく簡素でした。晩ご飯にはなりません。
Very entertaining show; we had a great time! Wonderful dancers!
This time I skipped lunch, but it was no problem. I had a taste test of potato chips from the snack shop instead. The area around the hamburger shop is very crowded, but the benches near the entrance are available. I didn't spend much time on lunch, so I had plenty of time to play. I will skip lunch again next time.
At departure and upon arrival, my voucher was checked. Having a copy makes entry smooth.
今回はランチ無しにしましたが、問題なし。昼食は、売店のポテトチップ食べ比べで済ませました。ハンバーガーショップ近辺は、大変混み合っていますが、出入口の近くのベンチは空いてます。ランチに時間をかけず、その分たっぷり遊びました。次回もランチ無しにします。
出発時と現地に着いた時、バウチャーを確認されました。コピーを持っていると、入場がスムーズです。
The pickup is at 8:30 and we arrive at the hotel at 15:30, so we have a full day to enjoy. The kids had fun playing on the playground equipment, interacting with birds, feeding fish, and even getting close to dolphins. There is a Japanese interpreter, so you can participate in the program with peace of mind! The travel was comfortable as we moved by large bus.
8:30ピックアップ15:30ホテル着なので、1日使います。子供は遊具で遊び、鳥と戯れ、魚に餌をあげたり、イルカとふれ合ったりして楽しんでいました。日本人の通訳の方がいるので安心してプログラムに参加できますよ!
大型バスで移動なので快適でした。
Pickup from the hotel to near Hilton.
There were hardly any Japanese people at the meeting place.
It was helpful that there was a Japanese channel on the headphones in the submarine.
However, you can't see big fish, and you won't see beautiful fish, so if you expect those, you'll be disappointed.
ホテルからヒルトンそばまでピックアップ。
集合場所はほぼ日本人はいませんでした。
潜水艦ではヘッドフォンから日本語のチャンネルがあるから助かりました。
ただ大きな魚は見えないし、綺麗な魚も見れないのでそういうものを期待するとがっかりします。
The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.
The crew members are kind and attentive. It was reassuring that they could speak Japanese. You can see schools of fish while snorkeling. Sea turtles come close enough to touch. They are protected animals, so you shouldn't touch them, but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. In any case, I recommend it because you can see the beautiful ocean!
クルーの方々が親切丁寧です。日本語が通じるので、安心感がありました。シュノーケリングも魚が群れになってるところが見れます。ウミガメめ触れられる距離に来てくれます。保護動物なので、触れてはいけませんが感動間違い無しです。とにかく、美しい海を見ることができるので、お勧めします!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The contrast of colors at the sandbar makes for beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing them. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。サンドバーの色のコントラストが綺麗な写真ですね!!シェアして頂いてありがとうございます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.
Hi Karen,
Thanks! for your 5 star review of Steve, your great recommendation and our adventure!
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Michael
All other tours were fully booked, so we chose this one, and we had a great time.
For us, who were worried about not being able to keep up with a more intense itinerary, this was just the right amount of activity. The free time at the sandbar and snorkeling were perfectly timed for enjoyment. Although we didn't see any sea turtles while swimming, we encountered several from the boat. The children were very happy and expressed a desire to participate again.
There were also restrooms available, so we didn't have any issues.
予約がいっぱいで他のツアーは取れなくてこちらにしたのですが、とても楽しめました。
あまりハードな内容だとついていけないと不安だった私たちにとってはちょうど良い内容でした。サンドバーでの自由時間やシュノーケリングなどちょうど良い時間配分で楽しめます。泳ぎながらウミガメは見えませんでしたが、船の上から何匹もウミガメに会えました。子供たちもとても喜んでいてまたぜひ参加したいと思いました。
トイレなどもあったので困る事はなかったです。
Best snorkel trip I’ve ever done. Crew was great and entertaining and would definitely book again.
Our group of 3 adults and 3 kids (12 yrs, 10, 10) took this trip a few weeks back during our vacation. We were not in the hotel zone so drove ourselves to Kaneohe Marina. Quick boat trip out to the sand bar, then to find honu (sea turtles) and finally out to a reef for some amazing snorkeling. Lunch (surprisingly delicious) was in there somewhere. Our crew was great - super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed hearing about Kaneohe Bay and the surrounding area. The only improvement I'd ask for is a bit more time out at the sandbar - felt like we could have stayed longer but other than that, everyone had a great time. We visit Hawaii every summer and try to hit new spots and new activities each visit. Our group agreed that we'd do this trip again if we could. Have fun!
I participated with my daughter. It was our first time snorkeling, and we were able to see fish and turtles. The cruise was also fun. The food was very tasty. I recommend it.
娘と二人で参加しました。初めてのシュノーケル、お魚も亀も見れました。
クルーズも楽しかったです。お食事Very tasty.でした。お勧めです。
I wanted to swim freely, so snorkeling after swimming with the dolphins was the best! The water was clear and felt amazing, and I could also swim with sea turtles! I was very satisfied with the stand-up paddleboarding too!
自由に泳ぎたいと思っていたので、イルカと泳いだ後のシュノーケリングが最高でした!
水も綺麗ですごく気持ち良くて、海ガメとも泳げます!SUPもやらせてもらい大満足でした!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We hope you also enjoyed snorkeling freely at the prestigious Kamehameha University in Waikiki, where you can take advantage of ocean activities. We would be delighted if you could join us again. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
MAHALO!
ALOHA !
イルカ大学へのご参加ありがとうございました。
ワイキキ名門カメ大学でも自由にシュノーケルをして頂き、オーシャンアクティビティもご利用頂けますので
ぜひご参加いただけましたら幸いです。
またのご参加スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
MAHALO !
I got seasick while transferring from the boat to the submarine. If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to prepare some medication. It can ruin a wonderful experience.
船から潜水艦への乗り換えで、私は酔いました。必ず乗り物に弱い人は酔い止めを準備して下さい。せっかくの体験が台無しです。
I was able to experience various activities, and the show was fun and enjoyable! It was a program that the whole family could enjoy, regardless of age. I would like to participate again next time!
色々な体験も出来て
ショーも楽しく良かったです!
年齢関係なく、家族で楽しめるプログラムでした、又次回も参加したいです!
