All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.

僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧（英語）でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。
スマホの用意を忘れずに。
動画で撮るとなお面白いです。

I had a wonderful experience meeting both dolphins and turtles. However, it can be cold on the boat, and for first-timers, jumping straight into the ocean and swimming non-stop might be a bit surprising! The final dance was amazing! ★

イルカにもカメにも会えてとても素敵な経験ができました。
ただ、船上は寒い&初めての人はいきなり海に入って、ひたすら泳ぐのでちょっとびっくりするかもしれません！
最後のダンスが最高でした★

When it comes to Hawaii, I heard this beach is the place to be. Since we were beginners in Hawaii, we opted for a guided tour. Just as we saw in the pictures, it was like a heavenly ocean. The water was crystal clear and it was incomparable to Honolulu Beach!

ハワイといえは、こちらのビーチと聞きました。
わたしたちは、ハワイは初心者だったので、オプションをつけて行きました。
写真で見たとおり、天国の海のようでした。
水も透き通っていて、ホノルルビーチとは比べものにならなかったです！

Thank you, Takao and Natsumi, for the precious experience. My wife was also very happy. This is my third trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time snorkeling, and it was a beautiful and refreshing experience beyond my imagination.

I was half in doubt about whether I would encounter dolphins, but I was thrilled to meet many of them, perhaps a family of dolphins. It was elegant and magnificent, and it washed my heart clean.

I have busy days at work and sometimes struggle to sleep, but this experience at Dolphin University truly made me forget my hectic daily life, as if I had become a dolphin myself. I once saw on TV a story about a girl with disabilities who healed her illness by interacting with dolphins in Hawaii. It seems dolphins have a mysterious power. If possible, I would like to receive the power of dolphins every day to become healthy both physically and mentally.

It's unfortunate that regulations will make it harder to get close to dolphins in the future, but I want to share what I experienced at Dolphin University with everyone around me, not just keep it as a memory. I would like to go to Hawaii again, so I want to hear more dolphin stories from you, Takao and Natsumi.

In the end, I felt as if the dolphins were saying "Mahalo" to me.

高尾さん、なつみさん、貴重な体験をありがとうございました。妻も大変喜んでいました。ハワイ旅行は今回で３回目となりますがシュノーケリングは初めてで想像以上に綺麗で爽快な体験でした。
イルカとも逢えるかどうか半信半疑でしたがイルカ一家でしょうかたくさん出逢えたことに鳥肌が立ちました。優雅かつ華麗で心が洗われました。
自分は仕事が忙しく、眠れない日々もありますが、今回のイルカ大学の体験は本当に忙しい日常を忘れ、まるで自分もイルカになったようでした。
以前TVにて障害をもつ女の子がハワイのイルカと接する事で病気が完治した体験を観ました。イルカには不思議なパワーがあるそうです。できることなら自分も毎日イルカのパワーをもらって心身共に健康になりたいと思いました。

今後法規制でイルカに近づき難くなるのは残念ですが、このイルカ大学で経験した事を思い出とするだけでなく、周りの皆に語っていきたいと思います。
またハワイに行きたいと思いますので高尾さんなつみさんともっとイルカの話を聞きたいです。
最後の最期に、イルカも"Mahalo"と言ってくれたような気がします。

Above all, it was very beautiful!! The white sandbar that spreads out in the shallow water is truly stunning. They also teach you how to snorkel carefully, and the crew is there to watch over you, so you can feel at ease even if it's your first time. I was able to see a lot of fish, and it was a wonderful experience.

何はともあれ、とてもきれいでした!!浅瀬になって広がる白いサンドバーがそれはそれはきれいです。シュノーケルも、やり方を丁寧に教えてくれますし、クルーの皆さんが見守っていてくれるので、初めてでも安心してできます。魚もたくさん見ることができ、とても良い体験ができました。

The Tour is very basic and provides you all the equipment to go snorkelling with. The tour provided friendly service

It was absolutely great! Service and entertainment was awesome! The views and sunset was breathtaking, and to end the night with fireworks was more than what we could ask for. I would definitely bring my family on this cruise again!

As the reviews mentioned, there were hardly any Japanese people. Most of the audience was made up of Australians and tourists from the mainland United States, with a few Koreans as well. The bus and the show were entirely in English, but I think those who have a little English ability can understand it. The host of the show spoke slowly, so I was able to understand most of it. However, there were some typical foreign show jokes that might be a bit embarrassing if you're going with children of a certain age, but the host was skilled and entertaining.

I participated in the Royal Plan, but our seats were towards the back even within that plan. Since I had my timid 4-year-old daughter with me, I think the front row would have been too overwhelming, so it was just right. Children under 4 are free, so I thought she would sit on my lap, but they provided a child’s chair. I was looking forward to the short guided tour mentioned in the plan, but it didn’t happen. There was a turtle tank on the way to the venue, so we could see that, but everyone could see it regardless of the plan. I didn’t quite understand the lomi lomi salmon & poi tasting either; I don’t think it happened.

Each person received three drink tickets, but the bar closed before the show ended, so I couldn’t use them all. There was a waiter, so it seemed like you could ask for drinks. Since the seats at the edge of the Royal Plan are right next to the Standard Plan, I think the Standard Plan isn’t too bad either.

The activities started without me realizing it, and you have to actively participate. There were so many people that I could only experience a couple of things.

I haven’t seen other shows, but this one was very good. However, I felt a bit unsatisfied. There was a lot of talking from the host and interactions with the audience on stage, and I wished I could have seen more hula. But the final fire dance was spectacular. My daughter stayed seated without getting bored, and it wasn’t too far from Waikiki. I was very satisfied with our last night in Hawaii.

口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。

ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。

アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、２つほどしか体験できませんでした。

ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。

It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again

I always wanted to visit the sandbar, so I joined this tour, which was just right in terms of price and time☆ The bus on the way there was quite large, but it was mostly filled with Japanese people! The guide was also Japanese.

As we got closer to Kaneohe, oh no? The weather… heavy rain!! (laughs) The guide, Yuki, encouraged us by saying, "Those who are going into the water will get wet anyway! It's okay!" but it was pouring. (laughs) We quickly boarded the boat and set off! The crew was really enthusiastic and got everyone excited! Yuki even dressed in a bikini to pump up the energy! (As expected!)

Since the weather at the sandbar can change quickly, we started with turtle watching while hoping for the best. Gradually, the rain lightened up (^ ^) and we saw a ton of sea turtles! We even spotted a big manta ray—amazing! By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the rain had stopped, and the water level was about to our ankles. We took lots of photos here!

After that, it was snorkeling time, but my mom, who is in her 50s, stayed on the boat while I went snorkeling alone. The snorkeling lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. I was able to float around with the sea turtles☆

Afterward, we got back on the boat for snack time. While enjoying sandwiches outside, it started pouring again. (laughs) We dashed back inside the boat!!

It was a day plagued by rain, but the sandbar was beautiful as expected☆ The snorkeling might be a bit short for experienced people, but swimming with the sea turtles made for great memories! Thank you, Yuki~~!!

サンドバーに一度は行ってみたくて、価格的にも時間的にもちょうど良いこちらのツアーに参加しました☆
行きのバスは結構大型ですが、ほぼ日本人！ガイドの方も日本の方でした。
カネオヘに近づくにつれて、、おや？天気が…豪雨！！笑
「海に入る人はどうせ濡れるから！大丈夫！」とガイドのユキさんが励ましてくれましたが、ひどい雨。笑
すぐボートに乗り込み、いざ出発！
クルーの方は一生懸命盛り上げてくれます！ユキさんも気合いを入れてビキニ姿に！(流石です！)
サンドバーは天気が変わりやすいとのことだったので、期待しながらまずはウミガメウォッチング。そうすると雨もだんだん小降りに(^ ^)しかもウミガメ大量発生！ついでに大きなマンタも見れました〜！最高！
サンドバーに着く頃には雨も止み、水位はくるぶしくらい。ここでたくさん写真を撮りました！
そのあとシュノーケルタイムですが、一緒に参加していた50代の母は船に残りわたしだけシュノーケルへ。
シュノーケルは時間にして20〜30分くらいです。ウミガメちゃんと一緒にプカプカできました☆

そのあと船に乗りスナックタイム。外で気持ちよ〜くサンドウィッチを食べていると、またまた大雨。笑
急いで船の中にダッシュ！！

終始雨に悩まされた日でしたが、やはりサンドバーは綺麗です☆シュノーケルは慣れてる人には短いかもですが、ウミガメちゃんと泳げて良い思い出になりました！
ユキさんありがとう〜〜！！

I made a reservation for a Friday departure with a course meal and a window seat guarantee (optional). The day before the tour, I received an email stating, "The window seat guarantee can no longer be accommodated. There is a possibility of sharing a table. The optional fee will be refunded." I was honestly anxious because it was my biggest enjoyment for my last night in Hawaii. I contacted the local operator myself to confirm the window seat guarantee and private seating, and in the end, I was able to sit at a window seat with private seating as originally booked, which was great. However, I was surprised and worried by the last-minute notice that the option was unavailable.

The activity itself was very satisfying; the new boat had little sway, the interior was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I was very pleased overall. It was a fantastic tour, but it was a bit disappointing to have confusion regarding the reservation details.

Additional note: I wonder if negative reviews are not reflected? Other reviews I wrote on the same day have been reflected in both the review and points, but this review has not appeared on the product page and does not have points.

金曜日出発、コース料理、窓際確約（オプション）で予約。
ツアー前日に「窓際確約はできなくなりました。相席になる可能性もあります。オプション代は返金します。」とメールが来ました。ハワイ最後の夜の一番の楽しみだったため、正直焦りました。自分で現地の催行会社に問合せ、窓際確約・プライベート席なのを確認し、結果的には予約通り窓際・プライベート席に座れたので良かったですが、直前のオプション不可という連絡に驚き不安になりました。
アクティビティ自体は、新しい船ということもあり、揺れも少なく、船内もきれいで、料理も美味しく、スタッフも親切で大満足です。
大満足のツアーだっただけに予約内容の件でゴタゴタしたのが少し残念でした。

悪いレビューは反映されないのかな？同日に書いた他のレビューはレビュー・ポイントともに反映されてるのに、こちらのレビューは商品ページにもポイントもつきません。

It was my first time on a submarine.

There were fewer fish than I expected, and most of them were dark-colored, but I was able to see sea turtles and eels.

The staff on the boat were next to me, pointing out things like, "There's a sea turtle over there," and they also congratulated me, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations! Wishing you happiness forever." I was really happy about that.

初めての潜水艦でした。

思ったよりも魚は少なく黒っぽい魚ばかりでしたが、海ガメやウツボを見ることができました。

船のスタッフの方が横にいたので「あこに海ガメいるよ」とか教えてくれたり、「ハネムーンですか？おめでとうございます。いつまでもお幸せに。」と言ってくれてうれしかったです。

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I went for my honeymoon. Swimming with dolphins was a first for me, and I was so moved that they came so close. Seeing wild dolphins was a wonderful memory, much more than seeing them in an aquarium. Some of the staff speak Japanese fluently, and above all, everyone is cheerful! I was really caught up in the atmosphere created by the staff, and I had a great time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet Professor Turtle, so I would like to participate again.

初めてのハワイ、新婚旅行で行きました。
イルカと泳ぐのは初めてで、とっても近くまで来てくれてとても感動です。
水族館で見るより、野生のイルカを見れたことがとても思い出になります。
スタッフは日本語がしっかり話せる方もいますし、何より皆さん明るい！
スタッフさんの雰囲気に結構飲み込まれて、とっても楽しむことができます。
残念ながらカメ教授には会うことができませんでしたので、また参加したいと思います。

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

We were picked up at Hilton around 8 AM and took a minivan, which was full with 21 people, passing by Sheraton and other places. Despite the traffic, we arrived in about an hour. Two vans joined us at the location. We took a boat for 15 minutes to the sandbar. We enjoyed walking in the sea and snorkeling. It was an amazing time.

ヒルトンを８時頃のピックアップでシェラトン等を経由してミニバンは２１名満席。渋滞の中も含み約１時間で到着。現地では２台が合流。ボートに乗りサンドバーへ１５分。海の散歩とシュノーケル。最高の時間を過ごせました。

There were many water slides, and the pool was very fun! The all-you-can-drink option was also great! However, the BBQ lunch was not delicious and it wasn't really BBQ.

ウォータースライダーなど沢山ありプールはとても楽しかったです！
ドリンク飲み放題もとても良かったです！
ただBBQランチは美味しくないしBBQじゃなかったです。

absolutely wonderful!! so nice and the couple we traveled with had never been to hawaii and they were thrilled with the special attention and great smile of your gal she even took a photo for us and offered to walk to baggage area with us if we needed help

It was a very beautiful cruise ship, and since it was Friday, we were able to see fireworks, which was great! However, dinner was served a bit early. By the time we returned to our seats after exploring the ship once the buffet was over, the cups for our tea had already been cleared away, so it was disappointing that we couldn't have a post-dinner tea time.

とても綺麗なクルーズ船で、金曜日だったので花火も見れてとても良かったです！
ただ夕飯にしては早い時間でした。ビュッフェが終わって船内を回ってから席に戻ってきたときには紅茶を飲むコップも片づけられていたため、食後のティータイムが出来なかったのが残念でした。

I participated in mid-June. I was worried about the weather, but the waves weren't high and I didn't get seasick. While searching for sea turtles, I unexpectedly saw a shark! When we arrived at the sandbar spot, it was completely sunny and felt great. Since it wasn't low tide, the water level was about knee-deep. During snorkeling, it was slightly cloudy and the depth was 10 meters, so it was cold and I was desperately trying not to get swept away. After snorkeling, the food was a bit disappointing because it was cold and I couldn't eat much, but the staff really made it fun. It started pouring rain right after the tour ended, so I was really glad the weather was nice during the tour.

6月中旬に参加しました。お天気が心配でしたが、波も高くなく船酔いも大丈夫でした。ウミガメを探していたら、偶然にもサメが！サンドバーのスポットに到着した時はすっかり晴れてとても気持ちよかったです。干潮ではなかったので水位は膝くらいまででした。シュノーケル時は若干曇って深さ10mだったので寒かったのと流されないように泳ぐので必死でした。シュノーケル後のごはんでしたが寒くてあまりいただけなくて残念でしたがスタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。ツアー終了と同時に大雨になったのでツアー中晴れていて本当によかったです。

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.

ランチ付の便で参加しました。
結構水深が深くて、胸までありました。
朝に参加した人はそんなに深くなかったと言っていました。
日本人のガイドの人がいたので、日本語が通じるし、安心です。
すごくやけるので、日焼け止めは必須です。
船の中にトイレはありますが、汚いので行きたくはなかったです。
風が強くて、ランチのときにお皿やコップが飛びそうになり、ほとんどの人は中で食べていました。
ランチのハンバーガーは普通かなって感じです。
海はキレイで海亀も見れました。

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.

当日天候はあまり良くなかったものの海ガメを見る事も出来たしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も優しくトークも面白かったです！
注意点は、バスまで歩くため天候が悪い場合、折り畳みガサと着替えに長袖の上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.

砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy. The water level at the sandbar was about up to my waist, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, making it a fun tour!

お天気はあいにくの曇。。 サンドバーはもも位までの水位でしたがウミガメ、マンタも見れて、楽しいツアーでした♪

Crew was fun and very encouraging to all that were new to snorkelling I was travelling on my own and I felt a part of the whole group. Loved seeing the turtles

I participated with my 6-year-old child. We played in the kids' pool, on the slide for those over 107 cm, and in the wave pool. The wave pool had a limited number of free floaties, so there was quite a scramble for them... but the waves were a lot of fun.

The lazy river also had few floaties, and it wasn't very enjoyable without one, so that was a bit disappointing. For lunch, we had a barbecue, but since it was a weekday and relatively less crowded, I felt that eating at the snack bar might have been a good option too. However, it was nice to have a place with a roof to eat comfortably.

The free drinks were mostly unnecessary, but having lunch and drinks included made it easier since I didn't have to carry cash. With kids at this age, they don't really slide down aggressively, so it feels a bit overpriced. There were quite a few slides they couldn't go on yet, so I think it would be really fun when they reach around 3rd grade and can slide on everything.

６歳子連れで参加しました。子供プールや107センチ以上可のスライダー、波のプールで遊びました。
波のプールは無料の浮き輪が少なく結構争奪戦でした。。。でも波はとても楽しいです。
流れるプールも浮き輪が少なく浮き輪がないとあまり楽しくないのでここはうーん、、といった感じでした。
昼食はバーベキューランチにしましたが、平日で割と人も少なかったので売店でもよかったかも、という気はしました。ただ、屋根のある場所でゆっくり食べられるのはいいです。
フリードリンクもほぼ不要でしたが、ランチ・ドリンクつきだとお金を持ち歩く必要がないので気は楽でした。
子供がこのくらいの年だとまだガンガン滑る感じではないので、ちょっと価格が高く見合わない感じはします。まだ滑れないスライダーが結構あったので、全部滑れる小学生３年生くらいになったらとっても楽しいのではと思います。

The slides were generally fun! However, since I didn't bring flip-flops, I had to walk barefoot... and it was incredibly hot. It was so hot that it felt like it could burn my feet. Since you can't wear flip-flops while on the slides, I recommend wearing water shoes. It seemed like you could slide with them on.

スライダーは全般面白かった！
しかし、ビーサンを持参しなかったため、素足で歩くことに・・
これがとにかく熱いのなんのって。やけどするくらいチリチリに熱い。
ビーサンはスライダーで履いたまま乗れないので、マリンシューズを履いて行く事を
オススメします。マリンシューズならそのまま滑れるみたいでした。

I actually wanted to experience the buggy ride and horseback riding, but unfortunately, the day I planned was fully booked. I participated in the movie tour, jungle tour, and a cruise, and I’m glad I did all of them. On the cruise, I was able to see swimming sea turtles in the distance, and during the movie tour, I enjoyed the beautiful and lively Japanese guide's easy-to-understand explanations while riding in a quirky, vintage bus and taking in the great outdoors. The jungle tour allowed me to ride in a Swiss military jeep and experience the impressive driving of a local handsome guide while enjoying the stunning views of Hawaii. The food, however, was not something I could honestly say was delicious. Next time, I’d like to challenge myself with the buggy ride or horseback riding!

本当は、バギーや乗馬を体験したかったのですが、あいにく予定の日が満席。映画ツアーとジャングルツアーとクルージングに参加しました。が、どれも参加して良かったです。クルーズでは泳ぐウミガメを遠くに見られたし、映画ツアーでは美人ではつらつとした日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明を聞きながらポンコツな味のあるバスに乗って大自然を満喫できました。ジャングルツアーはスイスの軍事用ジープに乗って現地のイケメンの迫力ある運転を体験しながらハワイの絶景を鑑賞できました。食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えなかったです。次回はバギーか乗馬にチャレンジしたいですね！

My First Trip to Hawaii
I had always wanted to take my two rebellious daughters on a tour to see dolphins. After searching around, I decided to join this tour because it offered the chance to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. It seemed to be a popular tour, which made me even more excited.

A shuttle picked us up near our hotel, and we set off right away. After completing the necessary paperwork in the vehicle, we relaxed until we arrived at the ocean. The port we arrived at felt quite small and rural, which raised a little concern, but we boarded the boat anyway.

On the boat, we sang Hawaiian songs together as we headed to the dolphin point. We put on our life jackets, fins, and snorkeling gear, and as soon as we arrived at the point, we jumped into the water! That day, the earlier group had already seen dolphins, so we were hopeful we would spot them soon! I was glad we booked the second trip!

Then, just as the guide had explained, we saw the sign to look underwater!!! It seemed there were dolphins, so my kids and I held hands and desperately tried to find them… There they are! Dolphins!!! We were all so excited! We kicked our legs and swam after the dolphins.

The dolphins were magical, swimming silently in the water. It was wonderful. Although the visibility was low and it was a bit dark, it was truly amazing. After getting back on the boat, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles.

This time, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat!! They even jumped! What a fantastic experience! [Of course, they were wild.] We were so thrilled! It was such a joy to see them jumping alongside the boat, almost like a dolphin show at an aquarium [though comparing is a bit unfair].

Afterward, we had hamburgers for lunch, saw sea turtles, and even got to paddleboard if we wanted. It was a jam-packed tour. While we were busy having fun, we didn’t take many photos, but they took plenty of pictures for us, and they also sell photos from underwater, so we can keep many memories.

Above all, even though it was a bit cool and the water visibility was low that day, it was the best tour ever!! I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii!

初めてのハワイ
反抗期娘2人をずっとずっと連れて行きたかったイルカに会えるツアー
色々探したのですがこちらは野生のイルカに会えるツアー、ウミガメにも会えるという事で参加を決めました。
人気があるツアーの様でまたまた期待が膨らみます。
ホテル近くに送迎が来て 早速出発。
車内にて注意事項や同意書などの記載が終わるとのんびりしながら時間を過ごしているうちに海に到着。
到着した港は何とも小さく田舎な感じがして…
小さな心配が発生しましたがとりあえず 船に乗り込み…
船の上では皆んなでハワイの歌を歌いながらイルカポイントへ向かいました。
ライフジャケットやフィンやシュノーケルの道具を装着しポイント到着後すぐに入水！
この日は先発便がすでにイルカに会えていたのでポイントがわかっていたので早々に会えるかも！との事でした！2便にしていて良かった！
そして 船上での説明通り海の中を見ろのサインが！！！イルカがいる様なので 子供達と3人手を繋ぎながら必死でイルカを見つけようとしていたところ…いる！イルカがいるーーー！！と3人で大興奮！！イルカを追いかける様に足を動かし泳ぎまくりました。
水の中の音もなく幻想的な中のイルカ。素敵でした。この日は透明度が低く暗い中でしたが 本当に素敵でした。
船上に上がり 移動しウミガメに会えるスポットへ。
今度は船と一緒にイルカが泳いでる〜！！しかもジャンプまで！！なんて大サービス！！〔もちろん野性です〕こちらも大感激でした！！
水族館のイルカショーの様なジャンプを〔比べるのも失礼ですが〕船と並走しながら見れるなんて幸せ過ぎました。
その後 ランチのハンバーガーを食べたりウミガメにも会えたり、希望によりパドルボートなどもさせて頂けたりと 満載のツアーでした。
遊びに夢中だと写真を撮れませんが
たくさんの写真も撮ってくださり海の中の写真付きで販売もしているので思い出もたくさん残せそうです。
何より この日は少し涼しく海の透明度が低い日ではありましたが 最高のツアーでした！！
ハワイに行くときはまた参加したいと思います！！

Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!

Great adventure! Loved the crew, the sandbar, the BBQ and the snorkel. Highly recommend for families.
