Oahu
We participated as a family of four. There were many types of water slides, and the kids had a blast enjoying them until the very last minute.
The tornado ride that we could all enjoy together was really fun, and we went on it three times. The kids seemed to really love the flow rider and are saying they want to go again!
The park had an all-you-can-eat BBQ plan, but the food was already prepared and there weren't many options. Some of the salads were spoiled, which was a bit disappointing... If it weren't for that, it would have been a five-star experience.
家族4人で参加しました。
ウォータースライダーの種類が多く、子供達も大喜びで時間ギリギリまで満喫しました。
家族で乗れるトルネードが本当に楽しくて、3回も乗りました。
子供達はフローライダーにハマったらしく、また行きたい!と言っています。
園内はBBQ食べ放題のプランでしたが、すでに調理済みの料理が並べられた物で、種類が少なく、サラダが傷んでいたりと若干残念でした…
これがなければ☆5つでしたね。
Great trip this was our first experience in a submarine the crew were very knowledgeable and entertaining I would recommend this tour as something everyone should do
I was picked up at the hotel, and although it started raining on the way, it stopped when we arrived. Then it rained again when we got on the boat, but it stopped once more. I was most concerned about the water level, but it was low, and we actually had a sandy beach! ❤
The staff were kind and friendly, taking photos with us and even acting as photographers, so we got a lot of great pictures. ✌
Right after that, we went snorkeling, and the staff provided very thorough instructions on putting on life jackets and masks, checking everything, and practicing to ensure that even first-timers could do it safely.
During snorkeling, the staff were always with us, making sure we didn't bump into the coral and showing us where the turtles were, so we could enjoy watching beautiful fish and turtles while feeling safe.
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious, and we really had a great time and made wonderful memories.
Thank you so much to all the friendly staff. I definitely want to use this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time.
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、行く途中に雨が降ってきたのに着いたらやみ、船に乗ったらまた雨が降ってきてまたやみ、という繰り返しでしたが、一番気にしていた水位も低くなんと砂浜でした❤
スタッフの人も優しく親切で一緒に写真を撮ったり、カメラマンになってくれたりでいい写真が沢山撮れました✌
その後すぐにシュノーケリングでしたが、ライフジャケットの装着からマスクの装着の説明、点検、練習と、初めての方でも事故の無いようにととても丁寧な対応でした。
シュノーケリングではスタッフの人が常に一緒で珊瑚に当たらないよう見ていてくれたり、カメの居場所を教えてくれたりと安心して綺麗な魚やカメを見ながらシュノーケリングできました。
また船上のBBQもとても美味しくてほんとにいい時間、いい思い出ができました。
フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。
また今度ハワイに行った時も是非利用したいツアーです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It’s clear from your message that you had a great time, and it brought a smile to our faces as well. We truly appreciate it. We are looking forward to the day we can meet with Happy Life again. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございした。
とっても楽しんで頂けた様子が文章からも伝わって来てこちらもついつい笑顔になってしまいました。こちらこそ本当にありがとうございます。
またハッピーライフ様にお会い出来る日を今から楽しみにお待ちしてます。マハロ!
I participated with my 6th and 4th grade children! All the slides were fun. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to go again!
小学6年と4年の子どもと参加しました!スライダーはどれも楽しかったです。お昼のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、また行きたいです!
We enjoyed the event. Our driver Patrick was very pleasant and knowledgeable. For the price you can’t go wrong! I would recommend for those that want to experience Pearl Harbor and Honolulu in an efficient yet enjoyable way.
The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.
For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).
The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!
結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人(21~65歳)で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました!ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです!デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした!
Aloha! Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you very much for having everyone from both families participate.
You were able to swim with the sea turtles, huh? We look forward to the day we can meet again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!ご結婚おめでとうございます。両家の皆様でご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
ウミガメとも泳げたんですね。また皆様にお会い出来る日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。
We encountered a sea lion. It was a lucky sighting unique to nature, and the whole family enjoyed it. The pod of dolphins was very impressive and really exciting.
逸れアシカにも遭遇。
自然ならではのラッキーな出現で家族みんな楽しめました。
イルカの群れはとても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。
Aloha Gori-san,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University.
We are very happy to have been able to help you create memories in Hawaii. When you come back to Hawaii, please be sure to bring your whole family along for a tour!

the staff was awesome, had a great time at the sandbar and snorkeling. this was such a unique experience.
I wanted to see the largest living creature up close, and that wish came true. When I participated in a tour in Okinawa before, I could only see a blow, but this time I got to see "peduncle arch," "fluke up," and even from a distance, "breaching." The boat was large, so we couldn't get too close, but it was wonderful to see the humpback whale with the naked eye. I think it depends on the weather, but on the day of the tour, the wind was quite strong on the sea, and there were waves, so I recommend bringing a sweater or jumper for warmth.
現存で生息する最大の生物をまじかで見たい。それが叶いました。
以前沖縄でツアーに参加した時はブローしか観られませんでしたが、「ペダンクルアーチ」「フルークアップ」遠目でしたが「ブリーチング」までサービスしてくれました。船が大きいため、あまり接近は出来ませんでしたが肉眼でザトウクジラを観ることができてとてもよかったです。天候にもよると思いますが当日海上はけっこう風が強く、波もあって寒かったのでセーターかジャンパー等の寒さよけの備えはしていったほうが良いと思います。
It was my first time swimming with dolphins, and it was truly amazing!
The weather on the day of participation was cloudy, and it had just rained, making the temperature quite low, which wasn't ideal.
I knew very well that since they are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%, so I was quite anxious... but!
I was able to see many dolphins, and I was genuinely moved!
I thought I wouldn't be able to get too close since you're not supposed to chase them, and I hoped to see them from a distance, but unexpectedly, I got to see them up close and was super excited!
When I dove a little, I felt like I could reach out and touch them—how could they be so close?!
After the dolphin swim, I went snorkeling and saw small fish and a sea turtle.
Unlike dolphins, the sea turtle swam while being rocked by the waves, so even though I knew I shouldn't touch it, I felt a bit nervous when it came close to me. (laughs)
I probably didn't swim for very long during the dolphin swim or snorkeling, but it did take quite a bit of energy.
So, the cheeseburger made by the captain tasted even better.
The crew members were all very nice, and it seemed like they were keeping a close eye on those who were anxious about swimming or their stamina.
The photos taken by the photographer can be purchased separately.
Before the dolphin swim, there was an explanation, and the guide, Musashi, said,
"You are free to take photos with your own camera, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. See the dolphins with your own eyes! You can also purchase photos from the photographer."
At that moment, I thought, "They just want to sell photos..." (sorry about that), but those words are true!
I believe you should definitely see the wild dolphins with your own eyes and imprint that memory.
At the end, there was even a discussion about environmental considerations for the dolphins, which really touched me.
It made me think about starting small eco-friendly practices so that dolphin swim tours can continue for a long time.
One thing I was concerned about was that the day of participation coincided with the Honolulu Half Marathon, which caused traffic restrictions, and the pickup took over an hour.
Since we were the first pickup, we spent quite a long time on the bus. (laughs)
The guides worked hard to manage the situation, and in the end, we got to see the dolphins without any complaints, but I think the marathon wasn't something that was decided yesterday or today, so it would have been even better if some measures could have been taken!
人生初のドルフィンスイムでしたが、本当に最高でした!
参加日は曇り、ついさっきまで雨が降っていて気温も低めというあまり良くないコンディション。
野生の生き物なので見れる確率は100%ではないのは重々承知の上参加していますがとても不安…でしたが!
沢山のイルカを見る事が出来て本当に本当に感動しました!
イルカは追いかけてはいけないし、あまり近くにより過ぎる事もないだろうから遠目に見れたら良いな…と思っていたのですが、予想外に近くで見れて大興奮!
ちょっと潜水したら手が届きそうでこんなにも近くで見れるの!?と思いました。
ドルフィンスイム後のシュノーケリングでは小さい魚やウミガメを見ました。
ウミガメはイルカと違い波に揺られながら泳いでいるので触れてはいけない…とわかっていてもウミガメの方から近付いてきてヒヤヒヤしました。笑
ドルフィンスイムもシュノーケリングも恐らくそんなに長くやっていないのですが、結構体力使います。
なのでキャプテンが作ってくれるチーズバーガーがより美味しく感じました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方ばかりで、泳ぎや体力に不安がある方はきちんと見ていてくれているようでした。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は別途有料で購入出来ます。
ドルフィンスイム前に説明があるのですが、ガイドのムサシさんが
「自分のカメラで写真を撮るのは自由ですが、写真を撮る事にとらわれ過ぎないで。自分の目でイルカを見て!写真はカメラマンからも購入出来ます。」
と仰っていて、この時は「写真を買わせようとしているな…」と思っていましたが(すみません)
この言葉は本当です!
野生のイルカ、絶対自分の目でしっかり見て焼き付けるべきだと思います。
最後はイルカの為に環境配慮の話しまであり、ジーンとしました。
いつまでもドルフィンスイムツアーが可能なよう、自分も小さな事からエコを始めようと考えさせられました。
一つ気になったのは参加日がホノルルハーフマラソン当日で交通規制がかかりピックアップのみで1時間超えだった事。
私達は一番最初のピックアップだったので結構長い間バスに乗りました。笑
ガイドさん達も一生懸命対処してくださりましたし、結果的にイルカも見れて文句無し、ですがマラソン自体は昨日今日決まった事ではないと思うので、何かしらの対策を講じる事が出来ていたら更に良かったのかな!?と思います!
Aloha Torachan,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We also apologize for any inconvenience caused by the traffic regulations during the Honolulu Half Marathon.
We are very pleased to hear from your comments that you enjoyed your half day at Dolphin University. We look forward to the day we can meet you again!

I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!
On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.
Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.
Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.
- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.
They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.
What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.
I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.
I want to try again on a nice day!
ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!
土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。
基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの+Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。
天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。
-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能!これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能
ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。
持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。
タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。
天気いい時にリベンジしたい!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for the very detailed report! I hope it will be helpful for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back, Chiyoko! With the sea turtles!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂いてありがとうございました。
とっても詳細なレポートありがとうございます!! 皆様に参考にして頂けると嬉しいです。Chiyoko様のリベンジ参加。ウミガメとともにお待ちしてます!!
I had previously swum with wild dolphins on another tour, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, I wanted to try a different tour, so I joined the highly-rated and well-organized tour by the prestigious Dolphin University.
On the bus ride there, the guide shared not only knowledge about dolphins but also various stories about Hawaii, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. The guides and crew members had a great rapport, and everyone was friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish.
Once we set sail, we quickly spotted wild dolphins! We could see them jumping from the boat, and I hurriedly got ready to jump in! A large pod of dolphins swam back and forth near us, and it felt like we were swimming together. I was truly moved. I think I swam quite hard for a significant amount of time, but I was so engrossed that I forgot all about the fatigue.
When I got back on the boat, the crew had prepared freshly made hamburgers for us. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot, where we were able to see many fish. We even spotted swimming sea turtles, which was very satisfying!
We jumped off the boat into the sea, did some stand-up paddleboarding, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. It was truly a packed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
The next time I participate in a dolphin swimming tour, I would definitely like to use Dolphin University again!
以前他のツアーで野生のイルカと泳いだことがあり、その感動が忘れられず、今回は前回と違うツアーで参加してみたいと思い、評判もよく、内容も充実している名門イルカ大学さんのツアーに参加させていただきました。
行きのバスではガイドの方からイルカの知識だけでなく、ハワイに関するいろいろなお話も聞け、あっという間に港まで着きました。ガイドやクルーの方同士も仲が良く、皆さんフレンドリーで最初から最後までとても雰囲気がよかったです。
いざ出港してからは、本当にすぐに野生のイルカを発見!
船からも飛び跳ねるイルカの姿が見え、急いで準備をして飛び込みました!
たくさんのイルカの群れが何度も行ったり来たりで近くを泳いでくれ、真下を通ったり、一緒に泳いでいるような感覚で、本当に感動しました。結構な時間、しっかりハードに泳いだと思うのですが、そんな疲れを忘れてしまうくらい、夢中になってしまいました。
船に上がると、クルーの方がハンバーガーを作ってくれていて、できたてをいただきました。
その後はシュノーケルのスポットに移動したのですが、こちらもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。泳いでいるウミガメも見られ、大満足でした!
船からジャンプして海に飛び込んだり、SUPができたり、帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったり、本当に最初から最後まで盛りだくさんで楽しませていただきました。
またイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加する際は、名門イルカ大学さんを利用したいと思います!

The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.
日本のガイドさんもスタッフ皆さんも、とても明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて良かっです!
しかし、天気が悪く雨と風でとても寒く、綺麗な景色も全く見れず…
みんなブルブルガクガク…
寒いから早く帰りたくなりました。
天気ばかりは、どうしようもないですね。
これも、自然体験。
最後の方に温かい飲み物を出してくれてホッとしました。もう少し早く出して欲しかったのが本音。
It was quite a hard tour starting at 5:30 AM, but we got to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! The staff had great energy, and there was time for fun. I was very tired, but it was so much fun!
朝5時半集合でなかなかのハードツアーでしたがいるか、くじら、海ガメも見れました!
スタッフのノリも良く、遊びの時間もありとっても疲れましたがとっても楽しかったです。
Thank you for your feedback. We hope you come back to meet the marine life in Hawaii again!
ご感想ありがとうございます。ぜひ、またハワイの海の生き物たちに会いにきてください!
The weather was nice, so I made an online reservation the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales as I booked the whale watching at the last minute, but the lunch was more luxurious than I expected, and soft drinks were free. Considering it was a lunch cruise, it was fantastic. As soon as we boarded, we were told we could start eating, so I thought I could have had a lighter breakfast. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket and sunglasses were necessary. My 9-year-old and 4-year-old also enjoyed it.
お天気も良かったので、現地で前日にネット申し込みしました。ホエールウォッチングも最終段階での申し込みで、残念ながら見れませんでしたが、ランチが思っていた以上に豪華で、ソフトドリンクは無料で
ランチクルーズと思えば最高でした。
乗って直ぐに、食べてもいいと言うことでしたので、朝は軽めに済ませても良かったなと思いました。
クーラーもガンガンのため上着とサングラスよいどめは必要です。
9歳4歳の子も楽しめました。
It was really disappointing that there was no information provided, such as the address and map of the departure location, so that I could go directly there if I couldn't get in touch due to the morning mix-up.
朝入れ違いで、連絡取れないのなら、直接現地へ行けるように、出港場所の住所と地図くらい提示がなかったのは、すごく残念でした。

It was my first time on a submarine, and I had a great time. They had made arrangements to attract fish, so I was able to see a lot of them. Additionally, the divers who were there to observe the fish welcomed us with an aloha pose, which was very nice.
The guide provided commentary in Japanese while the boat was moving, but only offered an English guide inside the submarine. It seemed fun with jokes mixed in, so those who understand English might enjoy it even more. Unfortunately, since we don't understand English, we had to rely on headphones with a pre-recorded Japanese guide, but we still had a great time.
My husband was so captivated by the seabed that he didn't listen to the guide at all, but he still enjoyed it thoroughly. On the boat to the submarine, we were lucky enough to see a whale spouting, which was very satisfying. According to the local guide, there are times when you can also see sea turtles and dolphins.
There were emotions that couldn't be captured in photos, so I'm glad I participated.
はじめての潜水艦だったので、とても楽しかったです。
魚が集まるように工夫がされていて、沢山の魚を見る事ができました。また、魚を観察しに来ているダイバーも、アロハポーズでお迎えして下さり、とても良かったです。
ガイドは、船の移動中は、日本語でガイドをしていましたが、潜水艦の中では、英語ガイドのみでした。ジョーク交じりでたのしそうでしたので、英語がわかる方は、さらに楽しめそうです。
残念ながら、私達は英語がわからないため、ヘッドホンで、あらかじめ日本語で録音されているガイドでしたが、充分に楽しめました。
主人は、ガイドよりも海底に夢中で、全くガイドを聞いていませんでしたが、それでも充分楽しんでいました。
潜水艦までの船では、運良くクジラの潮吹きもみれて、大満足です。
現地のガイドによると、ウミガメや、イルカに会える時もあるそうです。
写真にはおさめられない感動がありましたので、参加して良かったと思います。
Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but we were able to secure our usual chairs in front of the wave pool. When we went to buy lunch, we found a menu that wasn't there last year. It was a bento box with rice. I believe it had fried chicken, and the rice with furikake was cheaper than the other menu items, like hamburgers. And it was delicious! We always rely on Veltra for transportation and admission fees, so this bento was a pleasant surprise.
あいにくのお天気で少し肌寒かったのですがいつものように波のプール前のチェアをとることができました。お昼ご飯を買いに行った所、去年行ったときにはなかったメニューがありました。ご飯が入ったお弁当です。確かから揚げとご飯にはふりかけがほかのメニュー、ハンバーガーよりも安かったと思います。そして美味しい!いつも送迎と入園料だけでベルトラさんにお世話になっているのでこのお弁当はうれしかったです。
This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide David was great. Best value for all the stuff. Transportation to and from hotel to the tour bus it’s self.
Paul our driver was entertaining and he was very knowledgeable! It was a great tour and it was so much fun!
We participated with our 4-year-old child and as a couple. There were staff members who explained things in Japanese, so language was not a problem at all. The trainers were very friendly and answered our questions thoroughly. We wore life jackets, and since the pool is shallow enough for adults to stand, it's fine even if you can't swim. All participants were able to take plenty of photos, and we had a great time.
4才の子と夫婦2人で参加しました.スタッフには日本語で説明して下さる方もおり,言葉は特に問題はありません.トレーナーの方々もとてもきさくで,こちらの質問にもしっかり答えてくれました.胴衣を着ますし,大人は足もつくプールなので泳げなくても大丈夫です.参加者全員しっかり写真もとってくださったりして,楽しい時間を過ごすことができました.
Unfortunately, the weather was bad this time with rain and thunder, and we had to cancel part of the trip due to safety concerns. However, the tornado and water slide were thrilling and a lot of fun. I forgot the hat I had just bought on the bus ride back, and I truly appreciate you delivering it to the hotel right away. Next time, I definitely want to go on a nice day.
今回はあいにくに天候で雨や雷が鳴って、途中危険だと中止にもなりましたが、トルネードやウォータースライダーも迫力があり、とても楽しかったです。帰りのバスで買ったばかりの帽子を忘れてしまい、直ぐにホテルまで届けて頂いて本当に有難うございました。次回は是非天気が良い日に行きたいです。
Since it was the off-peak season, there were few people, and I was able to fully enjoy the attractions. However, the all-you-can-eat barbecue was disappointing, as the grilled meat was just left out. There were also rice, fruits, and yakisoba, but the salad vegetables seemed poorly washed, as I could feel the grit of sand.
I think it's sufficient to just enjoy the all-you-can-drink soft drinks and eat the regular food available in the park.
閑散期なので人が少なく、アトラクションは存分に楽しめたのですが
バーベキューの食べ放題のはずが焼いた肉が置いてある残念なものでした。
他にもご飯、フルーツ、焼きそばなどがありましたがサラダの野菜がよく洗ってないのか砂のじゃりじゃりがわかるほどでした。
ソフトドリンクの飲み放題で普通にパーク内のご飯を食べるので充分かと思います。
I was very satisfied that I could interact directly with the dolphins and signal to them. The trainers were also kind and taught us well, making it a great experience.
イルカと直接触れ合うことができたことと
イルカへの合図をしたりできて とても満足できた
トレーナーの方も親切に教えてくれて良い体験が出来た
アロハ、
ドルフィン・クエストを選んでいただきありがとうございます!トレーナーとの素晴らしい時間やイルカとのふれあいを楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです。ご意見を心より感謝し、次回ハワイを訪れる際にはまたお越しいただけることを願っています。

Aloha,
Thank you for choosing Dolphin Quest! We are happy to hear you had a great time with our trainer and interacting with a dolphin. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and hope to have you back again the next time you visit Hawaii.
Mahalo from Dolphin Quest Oahu!
This snorkeling tour was awesome! We didn’t luck out on the weather, but the crew was amazing! They were so good with kids, and very relaxed! They were also so attentive to making the trip enjoyable for everyone - offering to take pictures, offering fish food, offering drinks, supporting those who didn’t want to snorkel or who were anxious without being pushy. I loved it!
Great time. You have access to all decks. Naturalist answers all question. Plenty of seating. Servers available for sodas and coffee and cocktails. Breakfast is optional at additional charge. Bring your camera for photos of whales and view of waikiki. Enjoyed very much. Tour was wworrth. The money for sure. We did early bird . We were back before lunch time. Bring light jacket for early morning. You will enjoy this ride. Super big ship very stable. Stay on deck for best views. They know exactly where the whales are.
At first, I was worried about seasickness and whether I would see dolphins, but starting with the crew and captain's introductions, we sang songs and took photos, and finally! We arrived at the dolphin point!
I was really swimming a lot, haha.
However, I was able to see the dolphins clearly!
There were some members who couldn't see the dolphins, but they kindly took us back to the dolphin point for that person!
The marine sports like SUP and the slide were also fun!
We were able to have cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice, but to be honest, I was too seasick to enjoy it, though we could take some back with us!
最初は船酔いやイルカが見られるか等不安でしたが、クルーやキャプテンの自己紹介に始まり、歌を歌ったり写真を撮ってもらったりしてついに!イルカのポイントへ到着!
めちゃめちゃ泳がされます笑
ただ、イルカはしっかり見られました!
メンバーの中にイルカを見られなかった方もいましたが、その方のためにもう一度イルカポイントへ行ってくれたりとても親切に対応してくれました!
マリンスポーツもSUPやスライダー等楽しかったです!
チーズバーガーとスナックとジュースがいただけましたが、正直船酔いでそれどころではありませんでしたが、お持ち帰りもできました!
Dear Mamitasu,
I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful encounter with the dolphins! How was your experience meeting the wild dolphins in Hawaii? I'm sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness during meal time, but thank you for taking your meal to go.
Please do come back to visit the dolphins again.

I signed up for this tour despite a busy schedule. The meeting time wasn't too early in the morning, and I was able to make it without any issues after breakfast. The meeting place was also close to the hotel, so I didn't get lost, but it's important to note that there were other tour groups at the meeting spot. It takes just under an hour by bus to reach the boarding location.
There were many Japanese participants on the boat, and the guide was also Japanese, making for a friendly atmosphere. We arrived at the sandbar about 20 minutes after departure. This time, the water was only ankle-deep due to low tide, which was surprising to find such a shallow area offshore.
We spent about an hour at the sandbar, enjoying volleyball with the guide and local staff. We had lunch (hamburgers) prepared by the local staff and went turtle watching. From the boat, we were able to see about 3 to 5 turtles. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. While it’s said that you can occasionally see turtles while snorkeling, we didn’t spot any this time. However, there were various fish swimming around, and time flew by quickly.
I think this is a cost-effective tour.
ハードな日程の中、このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間は朝早くなく、朝食後でも問題なく間に合いました。
集合場所もホテルの近くで迷うことなく行けましたが、集合場所には他のツアーの人もいるので注意が必要です。
乗船場所まではバスで1時間弱で着きます。
船は日本人参加者が多く、ガイドさんも日本の方で、フレンドリーな方々でした。
サンドバーは出港後約20分ほどで到着します。今回は干潮時で足首ほどの水深でした。沖にこんな浅瀬の場所があることにはビックリです。
サンドバーで約1時間ほどいましたが、ガイドさんや現地スタッフとのバレーボールを楽しめました。
現地スタッフが作ってくれた昼ご飯(ハンバーガー)を食べ、ウミガメウォッチです。船上からですが、3~5匹ほど見ることができました。
その後は1時間ほどのシュノーケリングで、まれにウミガメを見ることができるそうですが、今回は見ることができませんでした。ただ、魚がいろいろと群がっており、あっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。
費用対効果の高いツアーだと思います。
There are other tours to the heavenly sea, but Captain Bruce's tour was great. We were able to encounter relatively shallow areas. It was difficult to find pictures that looked too stylish, but there was about knee-deep shallow water.
天国の海ツアーは他にもあるが、キャプテンブルースのツアーは良かった。比較的浅瀬のところに出くわすことができた。写真のようなオシャレすぎる絵は難しく膝上ぐらいの浅さはあった。
Aloha! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Please come back and visit us again. I hope next time you'll encounter the "too stylish" sandbar.
アロハ!ツアー良かったっておっしゃって頂いて本当に嬉しいです。
またぜひ遊びにいらして下さいね。次回は”オシャレすぎる”サンドバーに出会えますように。
I was moved when a pod of dolphins swam right in front of me, just below us. The staff worked hard to entertain the participants as well. However, it was really unfortunate that the boat was rocking and the weather was not great, making it cold. Nature is beyond our control, so there's nothing we can do about that. The tour itself was wonderful, and I highly recommend it.
イルカの群れが自分たちの真下から目の前に抜けて泳いでいったのには
感動しました。スタッフの皆さんも参加者を楽しませようと
頑張って下さいました。・・ただとにかく残念だったのは、船が揺れたことと
お天気が優れず寒かったことです。自然は不可抗力なので、仕方ないのですが。ツアー自体は素晴らしいですし、おすすめです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! The boat may sway due to the waves, but the captain will continue to strive to ensure that our guests have a comfortable experience on board. Thank you for your valuable feedback! 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! お船の揺れは波に影響されることもございますが、キャプテンが出来る限りお客様に船上で快適に過ごしていただけるようこれからも精進してまいります。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました!MAHALO!!
