Dolphin Adventure!! I really recommend this!! It was my first time being able to interact with dolphins so closely, and they were just too cute!! This became my number one memory from this trip to Hawaii. However, there was quite a bit of extra time, so there were some moments that felt a bit boring...

ドルフィンアドベンチャー！！これは本当におすすめ！！イルカがこんなに近くで触れ合えたのは初めてで、かわいすぎです！！今回のﾊﾜｲ旅行ＮＯ１の思い出になりました。
ただ、時間が結構あまるので、少しヒマな時間が多かったかな、、、

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

The foot push during the Dolphin Royal Swim was amazing. Just as I successfully did the foot push and posed, I lost my balance and fell into the pool. However, it felt really good when I fell into the pool. After the program ended, when I looked at the video and photos, the foot push looked really cool. I think I stood out the most among the seven participants. The photo of me kissing the dolphin also turned out beautifully. It cost $90 for the DVD and a set of four photos, but I liked it, so I bought it. I want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

ドルフィンロイヤルスイムのフットプッシュは最高でした。フットプッシュがうまくいってピースをしたのもつかの間、バランスを崩してプールへドボン。でも、プール落ちた時はとても気持ちよかったです。プログラムが終わって、ビデオと写真を見ると、フットプッシュの様子がかっこよく写っていました。多分、7人の参加者の中で一番さまになっていたと思います。イルカとキスをした写真もきれいに写っていました。dvdと写真4枚セットで90ドルもしましたが、気に入ったので買いました。次にハワイに行ったときはまた参加したいと思います。

Since I didn't plan to go into the ocean on this trip, I joined this tour hoping to see underwater life. First, we took a boat out to sea and switched to a submarine, and it was great to enjoy the beautiful view of Waikiki from the boat.

Once we switched to the submarine and dove into the ocean, I initially saw hardly any fish, just a few shadows in the distance, and I thought it would be like this the whole time. However, as we approached the reef, I was able to see a much larger school of fish than I had imagined, which made me very satisfied! It was much clearer to see with my own eyes than in photos. I think this activity is perfect for those who can't dive or snorkel.

I recommend the larger submarine that accommodates 64 people, as it has bigger windows. On the afternoon trip, the Japanese audio guide was provided through headsets, and I still enjoyed it a lot. However, listening to the English announcements, I noticed they provided various information tailored to the situation, so I believe the tour with a Japanese guide would be even more enjoyable.

今回の旅行では海に入る予定がなかったので、海の中が見れればいいとの思いでこのツアーに参加しました。
まずは船で沖に出て潜水艦に乗り換えるのですが、その船上からワイキキの美しい眺めを堪能できて良かったです。
潜水艦に乗り換えて海に潜ってしばらくは殆ど魚の影すら見えず、たまに遠くに魚影が見える程度でずっとこんな調子かなと思ったら、漁礁に近づくにつれて想像以上に大群の魚を見ることができて大満足でした！写真で見るより肉眼ではもっとはっきり見えました。ダイビングやシュノーケリングができない人にはもってこいのアクティビティだと思います。
潜水艦は64人乗りの窓が大きい方がおススメです。
午後の便で日本語はヘッドセットでの音声案内でしたが、それでも十分楽しめました。でも英語アナウンスを聞いていると、その場に合わせて臨機応変に色々な情報を提供していたので、やっぱり日本語ガイドの便の方がより楽しめると思います。

It became a very precious memory!

とても貴重な思い出になりました♪

I made precious memories! (o^^o)

貴重な思い出が出来ました(o^^o)

I participated in the early morning plan, and although my stay was only about two hours, I was very satisfied. It was a lucky day as the sandbar was completely exposed due to low tide! I also got to see a rainbow and even a sea turtle, which was amazing! If you're going to the beach, I recommend this place over Hanauma Bay! However, there might be fewer types of fish for snorkeling. The staff were also very friendly, making it fun and taking photos for us.

早朝プランに参加させていただき、滞在時間は2時間ほどですがとても満足できました。
参加当日は引き潮で完全にサンドバーが現れているラッキーな日でした！
虹も見れて、ウミガメもちょっとだけど見れて最高！！
海に行くならハナウマ湾よりこっちがオススメです！ただ、
シュノーケルの魚は種類が少ないかも…。
スタッフの皆さんも楽しく盛り上げてくれたり、写真撮ってくれたりとても親切でした。

our family including my mum and friends went on this activity one of our friends got sick on the way out. I suffer from claustrophobia and was very surprised how big it was. The whole family enjoyed the experience we got to see three turtles would do it again.

My husband was really happy when we were greeted upon arrival to Honolulu. The rep was prompt and out names were clearly visible when we arrived. The rep was friendly and helpful, she helped us find the baggage claim. Thanks for a wonderful welcome.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

The guidance to the boat dock was very enjoyable thanks to the driver's stories. Once we arrived at the location, the staff on the boat were cheerful, and we encountered sea turtles four times. It was truly moving to meet them at such a close distance that we could reach out and touch them. The sandwiches on the boat were also very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time.

ボート乗り場までの案内は、運転手さんの話がとても楽しかったです。
現地に着いてからボートの中でも、スタッフさんが明るく、ウミガメにも4回遭遇出来ました。
手を伸ばせば触れる距離で出会えたのはとても感激でした。
ボートの上でのサンドイッチもとてもおいしかったです。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

The weather was unfortunately not great that day, and I was wondering how it would turn out, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped. It wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent!

We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandbar. The Japanese guide was a really cheerful lady. It was a bit windy, so it was slightly cold, but the scenery was beautiful and we had a great time. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The hamburger lunch with patties grilled on the boat's deck was especially delicious!!!

この日はあいにくの天気でどうなるかと思いましたが船に乗るころには雨もやみ、快晴とまでは行きませんでしたがまずまずの天気でした！

船に乗り込みサンドバーへ到着。
日本人ガイドさんもすごくのりのいいお姉さんで＾＾
少し風が強かったので若干寒かったですがとてもきれいで楽しめました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れて感動しました。
特に船のデッキ、グリルで焼いてくれたパティをはさんだハンバーガーランチはとてもおいしかったです！！！

I think this tour, where you can play with dolphins, is great for dolphin lovers! I went with my kids, and it became a wonderful memory. They were thrilled to swim and have the dolphins push their feet! However, you need to bring a certain amount of money; otherwise, you might miss out on buying souvenir photos or DVDs. I thought it would be better not to bring too many valuables, so I only brought $70, which wasn't enough. You'll also need money to spend on-site.

イルカと遊ぶこのツアーイルカ好きにはいいと思います！
子供連れで行ったのですがいい記念になりました。
足の裏をイルカにプッシュしてもらって泳いだりと子供も大喜び！
ただある程度お金を持っていかないと記念写真やDVDを買い損ねます。あまり貴重品は持っていかないほうがいいかなと思って７０ドルしか持ってなかったら足りませんでした。
現地で使うお金も必要ですね。

I participated in the luxurious BBQ lunch plan that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of the event, and it was drizzling when we left the hotel in Waikiki. When we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, the sky was still covered with thick clouds, and it was windy and cold.

We took a boat close to the sandbar and walked from there for photos and DVD filming. It was just so cold that it was unbearable.

For snorkeling, we swam in two lines, but the strong wind made it difficult to move forward, and although it was only about ten minutes, it was quite tiring.

After that, we returned to the boat for the BBQ, but due to the cold, I didn't have much of an appetite and couldn't eat much.

However, it was a rare experience to see sea turtles swimming up close.

The DVD is prioritized for those who paid for it, and they take various poses for you. I think it will serve as a nice memento.

I believe the enjoyment of this activity is greatly affected by the weather. (The next day, I flew over the sandbar in a Cessna on a sunny day, and it was beautiful, which made me feel quite disappointed.)

午後出発の豪華ＢＢＱランチプランに参加しました。
当日はあいにくの空模様でワイキキのホテルを出発するときは小雨でした。カネオヘ湾に到着した時も空は厚い雲に覆われて風が強く寒かったです。
ボートでサンドバーの近くまで行き、そこから歩いて写真とＤＶＤ撮影。とにかく寒くてたまりませんでした。
シュノーケルは全員で２列縦隊になって泳いで行くのですが風が強くて流されてしまいなかなか前へ進めず、時間にして１０分くらいなのでしょうが結構疲れました。

そのあとボートに戻ってＢＢＱですが、あまりの寒さで食欲はなくそれほど食べれませんでした。

でも海亀が間近まで泳いでくるので貴重な体験ができました。

ＤＶＤは有料で申し込んだ人が優先的に映り、いろんなポーズとかで取ってくれます。一応、記念にはなると思います。

このアクティビティは天候により楽しさが大きく左右されると思います。(翌日、晴天の日にセスナの体験飛行でサンドバーの上空を飛びましたがとてもきれいでとても残念に思いました。）

Since my child is small, the attractions we could enjoy were limited, and the place felt unnecessarily spacious. There were also many attractions that were closed, so I didn't have much fun. The weather was bad and cold; my child was happy, but I don't want to go back.

子供が小さいせいもあるのですが、やれるアトラクションも限られてるし、無駄に広いし、閉鎖されているアトラクションも多くて、あまり楽しくなかったです。
天気も悪くて、寒かったし、子供は喜んでいましたが、もう行きたくないな。

This time, I participated with small children.
I recommend it for those who can't swim, get seasick, or small children who want to see marine life.
You can see a lot of sharks and tropical fish, and the kids were very happy!
Since it's air-conditioned, I recommend bringing a light jacket.

今回、小さい子供を連れての参加です。
泳げない人や、船酔いする人、小さいお子さんで海の生物を見たい人にはお勧めです。
鮫やら熱帯魚やらをたくさん見ることができ、子供たちもご機嫌！
冷房が利いているので、一枚羽織るものを思って行くことをお勧めします。

Since you won't see them if you don't go during this season, I went for the second time. The waves were a bit high, so they didn't appear for a while, but they finally showed themselves. They were a bit farther away than last time, but it was great to feel the size of the whales again. I recommend it for those who can go during the whale season.

この時期に行かないと見ないので、２回目ですが、行ってきました。
少し波が高いので、なかなか現れなかったのですが、ようやく姿を見せてくれました。
前回より遠めですが、改めて鯨の大きさを感じれて良かったです。
鯨のいる季節に行かれる方はお薦めです。

It was a wonderful sandy beach, sky, and sea. The weather was great, making it the perfect day. The staff were Japanese and very accommodating. I would like to participate again.

すばらしい砂浜、空、海。
天気も良くて最高の一日でした。スタッフの方も日本人で対応も良かったです。また参加したいです。

We participated as a family of five with children aged 7, 4, and 2. The weather was nice on the day of the event, the sea was calm, and we were able to see sea turtles, making it a very enjoyable experience. The boat was filled only with Japanese participants, and there were also Japanese female staff members, so the children felt comfortable. With around 20 participants, it was easy to interact with nearby families and couples, and at the sandbar, even small children could play leisurely while holding hands with their parents. Only my 7-year-old and I tried snorkeling. There were long floats that allowed us to view the underwater scenery side by side, making it surprisingly easy to see coral reefs and small fish. For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers on the boat, and we could enjoy our meal while leisurely taking in the scenery. It was a fun tour. For reference, the meeting place was not our accommodation, so I was a bit worried about whether we were in the right spot until the pickup arrived. The bus was shared, and I was concerned that nearly 90% of the passengers were American, wondering if there were no other Japanese participants, but I felt relieved when we met up at the dock. Additionally, my wife mentioned that the staff shared interesting stories on the microphone during the bus ride, but since it was all in English, it was boring if you didn't understand. I thought it would be nice to have books or toys for the children to keep them entertained during the bus ride.

７才、４才、２才の５人家族で参加しました。当日は天候も良く海も荒れず、ウミガメも鑑賞でき大変楽しく参加できました。船も日本人参加者のみで乗船でき日本人の女性スタッフもいましたので子供たちも懐いていました。船も参加人数がごちゃごちゃしない２０人程度でしたので程よく近くの家族連れやカップルと交流ができ、サンドバーでは小さい子供も親と手を繋いでのんびり遊べます。シュノーケリングは７才の子と私だけ挑戦しました。２人で並んで水中を鑑賞できる長い浮きなどもあり案外簡単にサンゴ礁や小魚を鑑賞できました。お昼はスタッフが船上でハンバーガーを焼いてくれて船でのんびりと景色を見ながら食べれます。楽しいツアーでした。参考までに集合場所が私たちは宿泊先ではなかったので少々迎えがくるまでここでいいのか心配でした。バスも乗り合いで米国人が９割近く乗車してて日本人はいないのかと心配になりましたが船着き場で合流できたので安心しました。あとバスの中で妻曰くおもしろい話をスタッフがマイクで話していたそうですが、終始英語なので解らないと退屈です。バスの乗車中、本など子供がひまを紛らわせるおもちゃなどあるといいかなと思いました。

Before boarding the submarine, we traveled by boat, and the view from the sea was amazing. The performance... I was surprised when the submarine suddenly appeared. I boarded the submarine with high expectations. However, I was disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I had imagined... I wanted to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗る前に船で行くのですが海から見た景色が素晴らしかった。パフｵｰマンス・・潜水艦が突然出てきた時はビックリしちゃいました。期待して潜水艦に乗りこみました。でも、自分が想っていたよりも魚の種類が少なかったのがっかり・・亀に会いたかった。

It was difficult due to the timing, and I couldn't see any whales. However, the staff were wonderful, and I had a valuable and enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

時期的に難しくもあり、ホエールをみることはできませんでした。
しかし、スタッフのみなさんもすばらしく、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。
ありがとうございました。

I set out to find the dolphins, riding a ship south from the port on the West Coast. It took a while to spot them, but I finally discovered their dorsal fins bobbing up and down in the distance. Watching their movements and timing my drop into the water, I was determined not to give up until I saw the dolphins, even as the navigator urged us to hurry! When the signal came, I put my face in the water and looked around, but I couldn't see them... However, I could clearly hear their calls! They would definitely come! I shouted in my heart, "We're here!" and continued to chase the pod. When I looked into the water again at the navigator's signal... there they were!! Dozens of them swimming right below me! Overwhelmed with joy, tears filled my goggles. There was no time to cry; I had to swim with them! As I kicked and searched desperately, they came back right next to me! And there were even more dolphins than before!! My mind went blank, and I desperately reached out to get closer. The dolphins continued to swim beneath us, and even when we were on the ship, they stayed behind us. I wondered if our feelings had reached them... "A huge success!!!" I high-fived with the navigator! We then headed a bit north to the snorkeling point. There, deep in the ocean, the sea turtle principal quietly guarded everything in the sea. Colorful little fish swam around, and when I threw them some bread, they bravely approached to eat. I felt like I had forgotten everything that had happened and had become one with the ocean. After that, everyone enjoyed paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling as the lessons came to an end. On the way back to the port, we filled our stomachs with handmade cheeseburgers (they were really delicious!), relaxed to the crew's live ukulele performance, and danced to the Nanakuri Ondo, feeling the rhythm... Everything was so much fun, and I was extremely satisfied!!!! Swimming was honestly tough, but I decided in my heart that I would definitely go see the dolphins again. It was an activity that made me sweat and truly enjoy! I highly recommend it!!!

イルカ先生達を探して、西海岸の港からShipに乗ってしばらく南下。なかなか巡り会えずでしたが、遠くの方でチラリチラリと浮き沈みする、先生達の背びれを発見。イルカ先生たちの動きと、dropするタイミングを見ていざ海へ!ﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの『早く早く~!!』という声に若干焦りながらも、イルカ先生達を見るまでは絶対に諦めない!と必死に着いていきました。合図と共に顔を水につけ辺りを見回したけど、姿が見えない･･･。でも、イルカ先生達の鳴き声がはっきりと聞こえる!絶対に来てくれる!『私たちはココに居るよ!』と強く心で叫び、群れを追い続けること暫く。。再びﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの合図で海の中を覗くと・・いた!!何十頭も真下を泳いでるじゃないの！あまりの嬉しさに、ｺﾞｰｸﾞﾙの中で涙が溢れてきた。泣いてる場合じゃない、もっと一緒に泳がなきゃ!と一生懸命水を蹴り探していると、、、手が届きそうなくらいの真横に戻ってきた!!しかも、さっきよりもたくさんのイルカ先生たちが!!頭が真っ白になって、とにかく必死に近付こうと手を伸ばしてた。。その後もイルカ先生たちは私達の下を泳いだり、Shipにあがっている時も後ろに居てくれた。私達の想いが伝わったのかな･･･と。『大成功~っ!!!』とﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰとﾊｲﾀｯﾁ!!! 少し北上してｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞﾎﾟｲﾝﾄへ。そこには海底深くに海ガメ校長がひっそりと居て海の全てを守っているかのようだった。周りには小さな色鮮やかな魚たちが泳ぎ、パンをあげると、食べようと頑張って近付いてくる。。今までの出来事で全てを忘れ、海と一つになれたような気がした。その後も、パドボやカヤック、シュノーケリングと皆それぞれが楽しみ授業も終盤。港に戻るShipでは、手作りチーズバーガーでお腹を満たし（ほんとに美味しかった！）、クルーのウクレレ生演奏で心を癒し、ナナクリ音頭を踊ってノリノリ･･･。とにかく全てが楽しくて、とっっっっても満足!!!!泳ぐのは正直大変だったけど、またイルカ先生達に必ず会いに行こう、と心に決めたのでした。心から汗をかき、心から楽しめたアクティビティでした！オススメです！！！

The beauty of the ocean and the sea turtles made the children very happy. I also think the staff were kind and responsive.

海の美しさやウミガメなど、子供たちは大喜びでした。スタッフの皆さんも親切で、対応もよかったと思います。

We participated as a family, but I felt that the waiting time was quite long, making it seem like a waste of a whole day. However, the kids were really happy to play with the dolphins. Considering the price, I think it would be nice to have a bit more time to interact with the dolphins. The DVD was good.

家族で参加しましたが、けっこう待ち時間があり一日使うにはもったいない気がしました。
ただ、イルカと一緒に遊べたのは子供たちも喜んでいました。
お値段からするともう少しイルカと遊べる時間があっても良いかな？とは思います。
DVDは良かったです。

Wonderful time out on the water, Capt. Andrew was wonderful as well as his crew, they were fabulous!! Would definately go again!!

On my twelfth trip to Hawaii, I went whale watching for the first time. I had low expectations, thinking it would be nice if we saw some whales. However, the onboard announcements provided updates on whale sightings, and by patiently watching in that direction, I was treated to an emotional sight. I was deeply moved by the sight of the whales spouting water as they swam with their family.

12回目のハワイで初のホエールウォッチング。
まあ、見れたらいいかな…ぐらいの期待度でしたが船内放送で随時クジラの情報を放送してくれるのでその方向を根気強く見ていると感動の光景が。
何度も家族で泳ぐクジラの潮吹きに大感動でした。

Since it was mid-April, most tours had already ended. Just when I was about to give up, I came across this tour. I participated knowing that the chances of seeing whales were low, but I was able to see several of them. I even witnessed the moment when they dove straight down to the seabed. The other tour participants were also cheering. It was fun. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

4月の中旬だったので、ほとんどのツアーが終了されていました。諦めかけていた時にこのツアーに遭遇しました。
クジラに会えない確率の方が高いのを覚悟して参加しましたが、何頭も見ることができました。まっすぐに海底に潜る瞬間の尾ひれも見れました。ツアー客の人たちも歓声を上げていました。楽しかったです。又参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ）港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな？
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな？と思いました。

I wanted my 5-year-old child to have an experience, so I participated with them as a dad. I watched from a designated spot a little distance away as an observer. At first, my child was a bit scared, but as they got used to it, the experience ended. Overall, we were very satisfied!

However, since the observation area was surrounded by plants, I ended up getting bitten by mosquitoes a lot... I found myself fidgeting while watching. So, for those who are observing, please be careful!

子供（5歳）に体験させたくて、パパと参加させました。
私は見学者として、指定された少し離れた場所からみていました。初めは、びびっていたのですが・・・だんだんと慣れてきたころに終わりました。でも大満足！

ただ、見学の場所が草木があったところだったからか・・私は蚊にさされまくり・・・途中から落ち着きのない動きをしながら見るはめに・・・見学するかた気をつけてくださいね！

I handed the voucher to the staff (who didn't speak Japanese) on the bus and received a wristband pass, but when I asked about lunch and the bodyboarding lesson times, I was told, "Your passport is different," and they refused to help. After calling a staff member who understood Japanese and showing my reservation slip, they apologized profusely, saying, "You've completely mismatched your passport," and gave me a different colored passport. The beef for lunch was delicious, but the selection was a bit limited. Also, it seemed that due to a lack of staff, the attractions were alternating between being open and closed, so despite the number of visitors, we had to wait quite a bit to ride anything (it might be different during peak season). The bodyboarding lesson had the wave pool almost to ourselves, and with the assistance of one staff member for timing and a push, I was thrilled to ride the waves beautifully. However, the waves were too high for toddlers, so it might be better not to choose the deluxe plan. On the way back, even though the park closed at 3:30 PM, we had to gather at 2:45 PM, which left us with little time to play, and I felt a bit regretful, wanting to enjoy more.

バスでスタッフ(日本語不可)にバウチャーを渡して腕輪型のパスをもらったが、現地で昼食やボディボードレッスンの時間を尋ねたら「あなたのパスポートは違う」と拒否された。日本語のわかるスタッフを呼び出してもらって予約控えを見せたら「完全にパスポートを付け間違っています、すみません」と平謝りで別の色のパスポートをもらいました。ランチのビーフは美味しかったけどちょっと品数少なめ、またアトラクションもスタッフが少ないためか順々に営業と休止を繰り返しているので入場者の割にどれも結構並ばないと乗れない状態でした(繁盛期は違うのでしょうが)。ボディボードレッスンは波プールが貸切り状態になり、スタッフ1名にタイミングと後押しでアシストしてもらうと綺麗に波に乗れて嬉しかったです。ただ幼児は波が高くてボディボードは無理なのでデラックスプランにしない方が良いかも。帰りは15:30閉園なのに14:45集合で遊ぶ時間が少なくてちょっと心残り、もっともっと遊びたい心境でした。
