Oahu
I participated with my mother and daughter. This was the second time for my mother and daughter at the sandbar, and since the water level was up to my mother's chest last time, it seemed scary for them, so we booked a course that matched the low tide.
Thanks to that, the water level was below our knees, and the weather was great, allowing us to have a wonderful time.
We also got to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling around the coral with my daughter.
The tour staff were very friendly and took photos for us. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.
母と娘と3人で参加させていただきました。
母と娘はサンドバー2回目の参加で、前回は水位が母の胸くらいまであり怖かったようなので、干潮時間に合うコースを予約しました。
その甲斐あって水位は膝下、天気も良くて素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。
海亀にも会えて、珊瑚の周りを娘と共にシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
ツアースタッフの方も笑顔いっぱいで、写真を撮っていただいたりしました。
また機会があれば、是非参加したいです。
Travelers were met at the gate on schedule and welcomed with the appropriate flower lei. Greeter was courteous, friendly and professional. Very well done. Would recommend this service to anyone looking to welcome fliers to Hawaii. Keep up the good work!
I checked the low tide times during my stay and chose a day when the tour coincided with low tide. Unfortunately, it was a day with a low tide of 0.9 feet, so the water was only knee-deep, but there were no waves, and both my elementary school-aged children and my one-year-old had plenty of fun playing. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved! My one-year-old daughter and I waited on the boat during snorkeling, but the staff supported my son. The hamburgers on the boat were delicious, and our cheerful guide was the best! It was a very satisfying day!
滞在期間中の干潮時間を調べてツアー時間と干潮時間がかぶる日を選んで行きました。残念ながら0.9feetの日だったためひざ下くらいでしたが波もなく小学生と1歳の子どもたちもたっぷり遊べました。初めてのサンドバーはとにかく綺麗すぎて感動しました!シュノーケリングは私と1歳の娘は船で待機でしたが、スタッフの方が息子をサポートしてくださりました。船上でのハンバーガーも美味で、陽気なガイドさんがまた最高でした!大満足な1日でした!
The water level at the sandbar was up to my waist, but it was beautifully clear and I was truly impressed. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I was very satisfied! On top of that, at the diving spot, I was able to swim with sea turtles. Although it rained on and off that day and there was some wind, I was told that the diving spot wasn't very clear, but I was still able to play with a lot of fish, and it was really fun. Also, the personality of the instructor was absolutely wonderful.
サンドバーでの水位は腰あたりまでありましたが、十分綺麗で感動しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも美味しくて、大満足!その上、ダイビングポイントでは、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできました。当日、雨が降ったり止んだりと風もあったので、ダイビングポイントはあまりクリアではないとのことでしたが、たくさんの魚とたわむれることができて、本当に楽しかったです。あと、インストラクターの方の人柄が最高に良かったです。
I participated in the morning tour on June 26. The sandbar was cloudy, and the water level was up to my waist, which was disappointing. However, after leaving the sandbar, it gradually cleared up, and I was thrilled to encounter a honu popping up from the deep blue sea.
My husband, who cannot swim, was encouraged to try snorkeling, and he looked genuinely happy to see the underwater world for the first time in his life! The hamburger for lunch was also delicious, and I am grateful to all the staff.
I especially want to thank the Japanese female staff member who was on board; her bright and fun personality was truly wonderful. Thank you! I would like to use your services again.
6月26日の午前のツアーに参加しました。
サンドバーは曇っており、腰辺りまで水位があった為、残念でした。が、サンドバーを出発すると、徐々に晴れてきて、真っ青な海から顔を出すホヌに遭遇出来て嬉しかったです。
泳げない主人に、シュノーケリングを勧めて下さり、人生で初めて海の中を見れた主人は本当に嬉しそうでした!!
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく、スタッフの皆さんに感謝しております。
特に同乗していた日本人女性のスタッフの方、明るく楽しい性格で、本当に素敵でした。
ありがとうございます!
また利用したいと思っています。
[About the BBQ Lunch]
I thought the BBQ would be grilled on a net until the day before, but after reading everyone's reviews the night before, I saw comments saying it was just [sliced meat]. I had no expectations at all. Indeed, there were sliced beef and chicken available, and it wasn't a BBQ in the traditional sense, but the taste was delicious! I think I wasn't disappointed because I had low expectations! There were also yakisoba, salad, and fruit available!
[About the Sliders]
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to ride all the sliders with a 3:00 PM pickup, but since each slider was not separated and there was hardly any waiting, I was able to try them all! You can understand from the website that when the slider next to one is open, that slider will close for 30 minutes... and they open alternately! In the morning, there was no waiting at all, and it was smooth, but it started to get a bit crowded in the afternoon, and I had to wait a little (still only about 5 to 10 minutes). If you want to ride twice, it might be better to do so while it's still open! Also, there is a slider called Shaka that drops from almost a 90-degree angle, and if you don't keep your neck strong, it can really hurt your neck. I was fine the first time, but on the second ride, my neck got jostled, and now I feel like I have whiplash...!
[Other Advice]
- The concrete below is hot, so don't leave your flip-flops in the locker (the small locker costs $13, can be opened and closed, and was spacious enough for two people's belongings). It's better to wear them down to the slider. Most sliders have floats or inner tubes placed underneath, and you carry them yourself up to the ride. Everyone was casually taking off their shoes near where the floats were and heading up!
- I was wondering if I could take my smartphone on the slider, but I had it in a waterproof case hanging around my neck, and no one said anything. (I’m not sure if you can take pictures while on the slider...)
My flight was canceled on the way there, and I had booked this tour for the second day, but I couldn't make the 9:00 hotel pickup. I sent an email to Veltra at night, and they responded immediately (I thought I wouldn't get a reply since it was outside of business hours, but they replied late at night and even called me the next morning). They successfully handled the schedule change right before the cancellation/change deadline. I have used Veltra many times for various overseas trips, and it is truly convenient and cost-effective! Thank you very much!!
[BBQランチについて]
BBQは前日まで網で焼いて食べるBBQだと思っていたのですが、前日の夜に皆さんの口コミを読んだら[細切れの肉が置いてあるだけ]
と書かれていて、全く期待してなかったです。
確かに細切れのビーフとチキンが置いてありそれをバイキング形式で取る形でBBQではなかったですが、味は美味しかったですよ(^^)期待してなかったからガッカリしなかったんだと思います!他には焼きそばとサラダ、フルーツが置いてありました!
[スライダーについて]
15:00ピックアップで全部スライダー乗れるかなーと不安でしたが、中は一つ一つのスライダーが離れておらず、また並ぶ事も殆どないので全部制覇出来ました!
HP読んだらわかると思うのですが、スライダーは隣のスライダーが空いている時は隣のスライダーが30分閉まる、、、という形で交互に開く形でした!
午前中は全く並ぶ事なくスムーズでしたが、午後からは少し混み始めて少し並びました(それでも5〜10分くらい)2回乗りたい!と思ったら空いているうちに乗ってた方がいいかもしれません!
また、シャカというほぼ90度の角度から浮き輪に乗って落ちるスライダーがあるのですが、首にしっかり力を入れて置かないと、首がやられます。
私は1回目は平気だったのですが2回目で首が持っていかれ、むちうちのような状態になっています、、、、!
[その他アドバイス]
・下のコンクリートは暑いので、ビーサンはロッカーに預けず(ロッカーは小が13ドル、開け閉め可能、2人分の荷物余裕でした)
スライダーの下まで履いていった方がいいです。
殆どのスライダーの下に、浮き輪とかフロートが置いてあり、それを自分で持って乗り場まで上がります。浮き輪置いてある所の近くにみんな適当に脱いで上まで上がっていました!
・スマホ、持ってスライダー乗れるのかな?と思っていましたが、首からぶら下げる防水のケースに入れていたら特に何も言われませんでした。(スライダー中に撮影していいかまでは分かりません、、、)
行きの飛行機が欠航になり、このツアーは2日目に予約していたのですが、9:00のホテルピックアップには間に合わなくなったため、ベルトラさんに夜メールを送っていたらすぐにメールの返事をくださり(夜営業時間外だったので返事はすぐには来ないだろうと思っていたら、深夜に返事をくださり翌朝電話までして頂きました)
キャンセル・変更期限ギリギリの所で無事に日程の変更手続きしてくださいました。
ベルトラさんはこれまで何度も色々な海外旅行の際に利用させて頂いていますが、本当に便利でお得です(^^)
ありがとうございました!!
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback!
貴重なご意見、どうもありがとうございました!
We had a great morning cruise with Dolphins and You. The local crew (certified life guards and professional entertainers!) were very friendly and full of energy. They explained everything in both English and Japanese since there were quite a large number of Japanese tourists on our 40 person tour. There was music and dancing on the way to the spinner dolphin site. We sat at the back of the boat and enjoyed the sun and sea air; thank goodness we had lots of sunscreen! I wear glasses and there were prescription masks on the boat so I could see everything clearly.
The crew-led Hawaiian chant and orchid offering when we entered the dolphin site brought us good luck. The crew went in the water with us and pointed out several pods of dolphins swimming right by. I wanted to stay with the dolphins longer, but we had another scheduled stop. At the snorkeling site, a sea turtle swam right under our group and there were lots of fish all around. The inflatable water slide, “surfboard” and kayak added to the fun. For lunch we had cheeseburgers on taro buns with bags of chips — very tasty. The crew sang and danced a couple of hulas on the way back; a perfect ending to a great morning!
We drove from our hotel, arrived at the Waianae Boat Harbor early, and were a little concerned when we didn’t see any signs for Dolphins and You. However, a bus with Dolphins and You on the side pulled into the parking lot right where they said to meet at the specified meeting time. Be sure to take Dramamine if you think you might get motion sickness. Several people on the cruise got sick, even though I didn’t think it was very rough. I took a Dramamine before we left on the Dolphins and You cruise and was fine (I had gotten sick on a previous snorkel trip to Molokini off of Maui). Definitely APPLY SUNSCREEN early and often...the sun is very strong on the water.
Aloha Cathy, and mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review of our tour! And we're so glad that you appreciated the extra dose of Aloha that is unique to Dolphins and You :).
We could not agree more with your suggestions of Dramamine and sunscreen use. That's the best way to stay comfortable on the water. We also recommend reef-safe sunscreen (which we offer in our office in Waikiki) to protect both your skin AND Hawaii's fragile coral reefs! Thank you again for your review. Please come again some day!
Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster
We’ve been on snorkeling cruises in the past (some out of Waianae Boat Harbor) but never with this company. We visit Hawaii often (my wife was born and raised in the islands) we view island activities with a critical eye. This was a super dolphin/snorkel trip. The cruise is on a smaller boat, which has the advantage of offering a smaller group of people, a more intimate experience, and a little more adventurous ride - I like all three. Staff on these boats are there to 1. Offer safety 2. Offer service and 3. Offer fun and adventure. The Dolphin’s and You staff were excellent on all counts. I’ve seen the “fun” part on other boats get a little smarmy, but the staff on this boat really did a great job of encouraging people to participate and enjoy themselves without being overly “slick” or pushy. They also had some talented people who shared music I found enjoyable.
I take my own pictures with underwater stills and video. The videographer/photographer on the trip did a super job and was kind enough to show me some great shots while still attending to everyone on board. I wish I could say that about all the snorkeling/watching tours we’ve been on.
Overall I’d say this was a really good trip - for anyone - experienced or novice. Tips: If you have motion sickness, or aren’t sure if you have motion sickness, take dramamine. Do it. Take sunscreen - Use it. If you’re not familiar with photography (above and below water) leave your gear at home. Experience the trip and allow the professional the ship provides offer you some of the best shots you’ll ever see - most likely better images than you can take yourself. Fooling with gear and worrying about taking pictures, will detract from the memories you can make just being in the water and seeing the amazing things the crew will show you.
There are lifetime memories you can take away from a half-day trip like this. It might *seem* pricey to some, but I assure you that it is worth every cent and you’ll be ready for more.
Aloha Bruce! Thank you so much for your sincere 5-Star review.
We so appreciate you taking the time to offer this genuine feedback and to provide tips for other guests. We agree with your suggestions on all counts! Coming from a guest who has been on many tours and a photographer, this review means a lot. We invite you to come and try out our waterfall hike tour Nature and You or our circle-island tour Island and You on one of your trips back to the island, as well!
Mahalo and A Hui Hou Kākou!
I've participated in the afternoon tour several times, but it seemed like the water level was lower before... This time, while walking to the sandbar, the water level reached about my mother's chest (she's 152 cm tall)... It was a bit disappointing, but there were very friendly sea turtles swimming around the boat, and the lunch was delicious. The waves were a bit high this time, so it looked tough to swim back, so I didn't go snorkeling and instead swam with the sea turtles around the boat.
何回か午後のツアーに参加してますが、以前のほうが水位は低かったような・・・。今回はサンドバーにたどり着くまで歩いてる際、母(身長152cm)の胸あたりまで水位が・・・。ちょっと残念でしたが、ボートの周りにとてもフレンドリーなウミガメ泳いでいたし、ランチもおいしかったです。
今回波が高めで泳いで帰ってくるのがつらそうだったので私はシュノーケリングには行かず、ボートの周りでウミガメと泳いでました。
Aloha! It's a shame that the ocean conditions weren't perfect this time. It's a natural phenomenon, so it's quite difficult. Please do come back with your mother for a rematch and enjoy the heavenly sea!
アロハ!今回は海のコンディションがパーフェクトでなくて残念。自然現象なのでなかなか難しいですね。
ぜひ!またお母様とリベンジで天国の海に遊びにいらしてくださいね。
This adventure was more than what we expected. We first boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine. We entered a small port hatch that lowered us into a surprisingly large submarine that held over 63 individuals. We dove to a depth of over 112 feet and saw all manor of marine life around sunken ships and airplanes. We experienced fish and sea turtles nestled among the wreckage along with eels along the coral. To say this was a unique experience was an understatement. How often do you get to go 100+ feet under water and see marine life in their natural inhabitant?
It was a wonderful way to start our vacation. The girl was so sweet and nice. Thank you!!
We gathered at the hotel entrance at 5:55 AM. Since it was June, which is typically a low season, there were about 20 participants, which the guide mentioned was about half the usual number. I felt that having a smaller group made the day more enjoyable.
We traveled by bus to the port (about an hour), and during that time, the guide's stories and videos were so interesting that there was no time to sleep. After waiting for about 15 minutes upon arrival at the port, we boarded the boat. The crew members were introduced, and we set off.
On this day, perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high, and the boat rocked quite a bit, causing a few people to feel unwell. About 20 minutes after departing, we had our first encounter with dolphins. We spotted a pod about 10 meters ahead, so we put on our goggles and fins and jumped in together. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away, so we couldn't swim with them.
We returned to the boat and searched for another pod. About 15 minutes later, we found another group and jumped in again. This time, we successfully located the pod, and around 10 dolphins swam right beneath me. It was an unprecedented experience, and it felt truly moving to be swimming alongside them. We all shared our joy as we returned to the boat.
Next was snorkeling in search of sea turtles. After about a 20-minute boat ride, we jumped in at a spot where sea turtles are easy to find. Within just a few minutes, we spotted a turtle and observed it from a distance. After that, a professional photographer took various poses of us. We could purchase all the photos from the professional photographer on the way back (data for $60, USB for $65).
After returning to the boat, we had almost free time. We could eat the cheeseburgers made by the captain, snack on chips, do stand-up paddleboarding, or kayak. Most people chose to relax and eat on the boat.
Once everything was finished, we danced hula on the boat while heading back to the port. After arriving at the port, we took a short break before boarding the bus back to Waikiki. Most people were asleep on the bus.
The encounter rate with dolphins is said to be 90%, but we were fortunate to encounter them quickly, so I didn't feel the discomfort of the boat ride too much and was able to have a valuable experience.
5時55分にホテルの入り口に集合でした。
6月ということもあり、閑散期なのか、参加者は20名程度で、ガイドさん曰く、いつもの半分くらいの人数だったようです。1日を通じて少人数のほうが過ごしやすいと感じました。
みんなでバスで港へ移動(約1時間)し、その間もガイドさんのお話や映像が面白いので、寝る暇はありません。
港に着いてから15分くらい待機して、船に乗り込みます。クルーメンバーが紹介されて出発です。
この日は風が強いせいか波が高く、船はかなり揺れたので、体調が悪くなってしまうひとも2.3人いました。
船を出して20分くらいで1回目のイルカとの遭遇でした。10メートルくらい先にイルカの群れが見えたので、ゴーグルやフィンを付けてみんなで飛び込んで群れの方に向かいます。1回目の飛び込みではイルカの群れが逃げてしまったので、実際に一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでした。
船に戻って、また群れを探し、15分後くらいにまた群れを発見し飛び込みました。今度はうまく群れを見つけ、自分の泳ぐ真下を10頭くらいのイルカが泳いで通りました。今までにない体験で、ほんとに一緒に泳いでいるようで感動的な瞬間でした。みんなで喜びを分かち合いながら船に戻ります。
次はウミガメ探しのシュノーケリングです。20分くらい船で移動して、ウミガメの見つけやすいポイントでみんなで飛び込みます。飛び込んで、3分もしないうちにウミガメを見つけ、少し遠くから眺めます。その後、プロのカメラマンの方がいろいろなポーズで写真を撮ってくれます。プロのカメラマンの写真はは帰りに全て購入することができます。(データは60ドル、USBは65ドル)
みんなで船に戻った後はほぼ自由時間でした。船長が作るチーズバーガーを食べるもよし、チップスを食べるもよし、スタンディングパドルをするもよし、カヌーを漕ぐもよし、基本的には船上で食事をして休む人が多かったです。
すべてが終わって船でフラダンスを踊りながら港へ帰ります。
港へ着いてからは少し休憩してバスに乗り込み、ワイキキへ戻ります。バスの中では、ほとんどの方が眠っていました。
イルカとの遭遇率は90パーセントらしいですが、本当にすぐイルカとの遭遇できたので、船のつらさもそこまで感じずに、貴重な体験をすることができました。
Aloha Salt,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed your half-day at Dolphin University.
We also offer a night manta tour on the Big Island. If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to join us.
The entire staff and crew look forward to seeing you again, Salt.
Mahalo,

The sandbar was not the completely sandy beach I imagined, but rather a beautiful shallow area that reaches about the knees of an adult. Even children could stand easily, and since there were no waves, they were able to practice swimming and seemed to be having a lot of fun. Tours that include lunch on the boat often don't offer great meals, but this tour provided freshly grilled hamburgers. There are also paid options for wine and beer, making it a tour that both adults and children can enjoy. I would love to repeat this experience next time.
サンドバーは想像とは違って完全な砂浜ではなく大人の膝下くらいの美しい浅瀬が広がる場所でした。子供でも足がつくうえに波がないので泳ぎの練習ができとても楽しそうにしていました。船上での昼食付きのツアーは大した食事がでない事が多いですがこちらのツアーでは焼きたてのハンバーガーが食べられます。有料ですがワインやビールもあり大人も子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。また次回リピートしたいです。
It was written that pregnant women are welcome, so I participated! It was a bit cloudy and cold, so I was hesitant to go into the sea, but the guide encouraged me, and I went in for the last part! They took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! I was able to see a sea turtle, and the hamburger was delicious, so I'm glad I participated!
妊婦参加OKと書かれていたので、参加させていただきました!少し曇っていて寒かったので、海に入るのは迷っていましたが、ガイドの方に誘っていただき、最後の方だけ入りました!写真もたくさん撮っていただき、最高の思い出になりました!
ウミガメに会うこともできて、ハンバーガーもおいしくて、参加してよかったです!
From pick-up to drop-off, as well as during the bus ride, boat trip, and meals, everything was handled in Japanese. The guide was also an interesting person, so I was never bored. Of course, the ocean was fantastic, and I was able to get up close to sea turtles.
送り迎えから、バス、船、食事中まで、全て日本語で対応OKでした。
ガイドさんも面白い方で、飽きませんでした。
もちろん海も最高で、ウミガメにもまじかで接することが出来ました。
Aloha! The Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour is fully available in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind. Don't worry if you're not good at English! Also, please come and enjoy the beautiful sea and meet the sea turtles.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーでは安心してご参加いただけるよう全て日本語対応です。 英語が苦手な方もご心配なく!
また美しい海そしてウミガメに出会いに遊びにいらしください。
This time, we were picked up from Ko Olina, so we arrived at the departure port early. (Last time, we were picked up from Waikiki, so we ended up spending quite a long time in the car.) On the day of the trip, there was a slight delay in departure due to engine trouble, but perhaps that was fortunate? Right after we set off, another tour found dolphins, so we were able to get into the water right away. During my previous participation, the waves were rough, and I could only see the dolphins swimming along the seabed, but this time they were swimming close to the surface, so we could see them within reach. Later, at another spot, we were able to see four sea turtles up close, and one came up to the surface to breathe right in front of my wife, which was very moving. I'm really glad I participated again this time. I would definitely like to join for a third time if the opportunity arises. I am very grateful for the guide's hospitality. (By the way, the malasada service that was available last time was no longer offered.)
今回はコオリナからの送迎だったので、出発する港へも早く到着しました。
(前回はワイキキからだったので、意外と長く車に乗りました)
当日、船のエンジンが不調とのことで少し出発が遅れましたが、それが幸い?
したのか出発してすぐに別のツアーがイルカを見つけていたので、すぐに海に入ることができました。
前回の参加時は波も荒く、イルカも海底を泳いでいる姿を見るくらいでしたが、今回は海面近くを泳いでいたので手の届くようなところで見られました。
その後移動した場所で、ウミガメ4匹も近くで見られ、家内の目の前に呼吸しに上がってきたりしてとても感動しました。今回も参加してとても良かったです。3回目も是非機会があれば参加したいと思いました。ガイドさんのホスピタリティーに大感謝です。
(因みに、前回はあったマラサダサービスはなくなっていました)
Thank you for participating in the tour. I apologize for the delay in departure. I'm glad to hear that you were able to swim close to the dolphins. We look forward to your third participation!
ツアーご参加いただきありがとうございます。
出発が遅れてしまいまして大変失礼いたしました。
イルカの近くで泳ぐことができたとのことでよかったです。
ぜひ3回目のご参加お待ちしております!
We took a boat to a wonderful sandbar!
It was cloudy, so the photos didn't turn out great, but in reality, the water was clear and beautiful!
The Japanese guide really got everyone excited, took lots of photos, and it became a great memory!
The snorkeling was amazing with beautiful fish swimming around and the coral was stunning!
The BBQ hamburgers we had on the boat were very American and absolutely delicious!
The guide's child was there too, and they were adorable!
They even showed us the location of the turtles using a clock as a reference!
船にのって素敵なサンドバーへ!
曇っていたので写真映りは悪いですが実際は透き通ってて綺麗でした!!
日本人ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれて、写真も沢山撮ってくれて、いい思い出なりました!
シュノーケリングは綺麗な魚が泳いでて珊瑚も綺麗で最高でした!
船の上で食べるBBQハンバーガーはアメリカらしくて最高でした!
ガイドさんの子どももいて可愛かったです!
亀の場所も時計にみたてて教えてくれました!
I was nervous about snorkeling after a long time, but the lecture in the shallow water made me feel at ease. I had a great experience with a sea turtle swimming right in front of me. The sandbar itself didn't have as low tide as I expected, and it wasn't quite like the pictures, but the weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it comfortable.
久しぶりのシュノーケルで緊張しましたが、浅瀬でのレクチャーがあり安心しました。ウミガメが目の前を泳いで良い体験できました。サンドバー自体は思ってたより潮がひかず、写真のイメージではなかったけど、お天気も良く波も穏やかで快適でした。
Aloha! At Captain Bruce's, we ensure that even beginners can enjoy themselves by practicing how to wear the snorkel mask before participating. Please give it a try!
アロハ!キャプテうブルースでは初心者の方でも安心して楽しんでいただけるようにシュノーケルはマスクのつけ方から練習してから参加していただいてます。
ぜひ!皆様も挑戦してみてくださいね。
It was really funny to see my younger daughter and a foreign boy, around 10 years old, who was scared of dolphins, connecting with each other as if to say, "It's scary, isn't it?" despite the language barrier.
Inside the birdcage, there were many birds, and I made memories that I couldn't experience in Japan.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we enjoyed the beautiful ocean. The staff's service was excellent, and the Japanese guests were very satisfied. However, the meeting point is at the Port Waikiki Kiosk inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is a bit difficult to find. I think it would be helpful to provide a map of the hotel to make it clearer.

Thank you for your patronage.
I am very sorry to hear that you were unable to see the whales, even though they are wild creatures.
Regarding the meeting point you mentioned, we will work on improvements on the Alan1.net tour page.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

This was a last minute thing that we decided to do - and we're sure glad that we did.
Was a great night with good food and good entertainment to follow. Rose was our server and what a fantastic job she did, she had a number of tables to look after (as servers do over there) yet she gave intimate tables of two just as much as large group tables.
Overall a well run experience from pickup to drop off couldn't fault it at all
This special lei welcome made our arrival in Hawaii that much more special!! I would encourage it!! The orchid leis were beautiful!!
First, we boarded a boat from the dock near Hilton Hawaiian Village and headed offshore, where the views from the boat were excellent. There was a shop on board, so we didn't get bored. At the offshore point, we could see a submarine surfacing. The weather was calm on the day of our participation, and the view from inside the submarine was great. Thanks to our guide, who was fluent in Japanese, we had a wonderful time. While it might not be enough for those who are serious about scuba diving, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone else.
まずはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの乗船場から船に乗り沖合へ行きますが、この船からの眺めが非常に良いです。船内にはショップがあり退屈しません。沖合のポイントでは潜水艦の浮上を見ることができます。参加当日は天気も穏やかで潜水艦内からの眺めも良く、また日本語が流暢なガイドさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。本格的にスキューバダイビングをする人には物足りないかもしれませんが、そうでなければ十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。
Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.
The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and I was moved! We were blessed with great weather and got to see a large honu, creating wonderful memories! The guides were also very kind and easy to talk to, which left a great impression! I bought a sea band (anti-nausea band) here, and I really recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness. I have a weak vestibular system that makes me dizzy even on airplanes, but wearing this band made the boat's swaying and even the return flight completely comfortable without any nausea!
サンドバー、とっても綺麗で感動しました!
天気にも恵まれ、大きなホヌも見られてとてもいい思い出ができました!
またガイドさんたちもとても親切で話しやすい方たちでとても印象が良かったです!
こちらで買える、シーバンド(酔い止めバンド)を購入したのですが、酔いやすい方はこちらを買うことを本当にお勧めします。
私は飛行機でもめまいがするほど三半規管が弱いですがこれをつけていたら、船の揺れはもちろん、帰りの飛行機も全く酔わずとても快適でした!
Aloha! Thank you for the introduction to Sea-Band. I didn't know it could also be used on airplanes! I'm really happy that it can be useful in multiple ways. Thank you for the information.
アロハ!シーバンドの紹介ありがとうございます。
飛行機での利用も可能とか!!知りませんでした。マルチに役に立てて本当に嬉しいです。インフォメーションありがとうございました。
We participated in the tour on June 24 with five people. Although the pickup was early in the morning, the staff's fun talks and the detailed explanations of the tour were appreciated. Once on the boat, the captain and the friendly crew naturally brought smiles to our faces. We swam with dolphins at the two locations they guided us to, and both times we encountered dolphins, which was an emotional and thrilling moment. We also saw sea turtles several times at the surface. This was my first dolphin tour, but thanks to the enjoyable guidance from the staff, as well as the boat burgers and hula dancing, we had a wonderful time. If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely join this tour without hesitation. Thank you to everyone at Dolphin & You.
6月24日のツアーに5人で参加しました。朝早いピックアップでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しいトークやツアーの説明には丁寧さも感じました。船に乗船してからもキャプテンをはじめ楽しくて親切なスタッフクルーに笑顔が自然に出ておりました。イルカは二回ほど案内して頂いた場所で泳ぎましたが、二回ともイルカに出逢え感動と感激の瞬間を味合うことが出来ました。海亀も海面上で何回も出逢えました。今回は初めてのイルカツアーでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しい引率や船上バーガー・フラダンスなど、楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂来ました。またハワイに来たら迷わすツアーに参加させて頂きます。ドルフィン&ユーの皆様有難うございました。
Thank you for your happy comments! We look forward to seeing you next time. Please come to meet the dolphins and us!
嬉しいコメントありがとうございます!是非次回もお待ちしています。イルカと私たちに会いに来てください!
As I cautiously lowered my feet into the transparent sea, they touched the pure white grains of coral, and I found myself in a warm, quiet, and pleasant world. The turtles are not allowed to be touched, but they swam surprisingly close, providing an experience that far surpassed any aquarium visit. The Japanese staff accompanied us, offering explanations, services, and meals without any inconvenience, and they kept us smiling and entertained throughout. I found myself wishing to work here and would love to visit again.
透き通る海におそるおそる足を下ろすと真っ白なサンゴの粒に足が着き、温かく静かで気持ちのいい世界がそこにはありました。
タートルウォッチは自ら触る事は許されませんが、驚くほど近くまで遊泳してくれ、水族館など比較にならないほどの体験をさせてもらいました。
日本人スタッフも同行してくれており、現地での説明やサービス、食事まで何一つ不自由のなく、終始笑顔で楽しませてくれました。ここで働きたいわと思ってしまうような環境でまた利用させてもらいたいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you so much for enjoying the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. Yasu's title, "I underestimated the ocean fun in Hawaii," is truly flattering. I'm really happy to hear you say that. Please come back and visit us again! By the way, we're also looking for staff! (laughs) We look forward to seeing you.
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアー楽しんでいただいて本当にありがとうございます。
Yasu様の「ハワイの海遊び舐めてました」ってタイトル、、、、恐れ入ります。そう言っていただいて本当に嬉しいです。またぜひ遊びにいらしてくださいね。
ちなみにスタッフも募集中です!(笑) お待ちしてます。
I participated after reading the reviews! The same Japanese staff guided us from the bus to the snorkeling, which made me feel at ease! They were also knowledgeable about dolphins and took us to a spot where we could see a lot of them, so I was able to swim with the dolphins perfectly!
クチコミを見て、参加しました!バスのガイドから、シュノーケルのガイドまで同じ日本人スタッフの方がやってくださり、安心しました!また、イルカに詳しく、大量に見れるポイントで潜らせてくれたのでバッチリイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました!
Aloha Anonymous,

この度は名門イルカ大学へのご参加ありがとうございました。
イルカ大学での半日、西オアフでの大自然の中お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか?

It was fun. The tide was low, and we were able to see sea turtles. The food was average. You can check the low tide using an American app, so I recommend checking the date and time in advance. Also, if you want to drink beer, I suggest bringing your own.
楽しかったです。ちょうど潮も干潮で、ウミガメも見れました。食べ物は普通。アメリカのアプリで干潮が調べれれますので、日にち・時間は事前にチェックをお勧めします。また、ビールを飲みたい方は持参をお勧めします。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing various information. I look forward to your participation again!
アロハ!いろいろと情報シェアありがとうございます。
ぜひまたご参加の際もよろしくお願いします!!
