Oahu
We all had an amazing day snorkeling. the crew were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. The reef was brilliant and we would definitely have gone back for a second visit if we had time on this trip.
brilliant for all the family.
We were blessed with beautiful weather.
We saw dolphins multiple times, and we also encountered turtles and some rare fish. Unlike an aquarium, seeing them in the same water was even more moving.
いい天気に恵まれました
イルカも何度も見れたし、カメ、珍しい魚にも会えました。
水族館と違い、同じ水の中で見れるので感動はさらにすごかったです。

I participated in the afternoon session.
We boarded a yacht from the harbor and enjoyed a pleasant breeze while taking in the wonderful scenery during a brief cruise.
I spotted two turtles basking in the sun.
On this day, the sandbar didn't emerge from the water, but it was shallow enough to knee height, allowing us to enjoy the mystery of it.
The weather was nice, but there was quite a bit of wind, so the water felt warmer, almost like being in a hot spring.
While snorkeling, a turtle appeared right in front of me and swam towards me as I was getting my camera ready, which was a bit scary, but I was able to play with the turtle after snorkeling.
I had already enjoyed so much up to this point, but the lunch was absolutely delicious.
The staff asked, "Would you like to eat on the yacht's deck?" and my husband and I took over the space for ourselves (laughs).
Shopping usually takes center stage in Hawaii, but participating in this tour created the best memories and made me think that next time, I definitely want to go out to sea on a yacht again!
午後の部に参加してきました。
港からヨットに乗り、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら、素晴らしい景色を眺めながら、しばしのクルージング。
甲羅干しをしているカメを２匹発見しました。
この日のサンドバーは海面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、膝ぐらいの浅さだったので十分神秘を味わえました。
天気は良かったですが、風が結構あったので、水の中の方が温かく、温泉に来ているようでした。
シュノーケリングでは目の前にカメが現れ、カメラを構えていた自分の方に向かってきたので怖かったですが、シュノーケリング後もカメと遊ぶことができました。
ここまでも十分楽しみましたが、なんといってもランチが最高においしかったです。
スタッフの方が「ヨットのデッキで食べますか？」と言ってくれ、夫婦２人で占領させていただきました(笑)
いつもハワイはショッピング中心になりますが、このツアーに参加して、次回も必ずヨットで沖に出よう！と思わしてくれる最高の思い出になりました！！！

Great experience for the entire family. Absolutley, worth spending the day. Very inspiring and sobering at the same time.
A good and comfortable way to experience the sealife. Recommendable to families and people who would like to see colourful fish and turtles without getting wet.
Our experience with Captain Bob's Snorkel Cruise was awesome. The staff was laidback and friendly and made our experience great. They played volleyball on the sandbar with us, cooked us an awesome burger and gave great tips and help to make our snorkle experience the best. Could have done with a little less of Jenner's singing, since he seems to like to "ham it up" a bit too much.
I look forward to my next trip to Oahu so I can do this tour again.
We participated as a family of three with our 5-year-old son. Although I was worried about snorkeling since my son can't swim, we decided to join because we wanted to see wild dolphins.
I was really concerned about whether we would actually see dolphins, but on the day of the event, we were able to see many dolphins. They even showcased some beautiful spins. My son jumped into the sea, but he looked anxious since he couldn't touch the bottom. However, the staff supported us, and we were able to meet the dolphin teacher. Thank you for your thoughtful considerations. Since the staff took care of the children, the parents were able to enjoy themselves too.
On the boat, we experienced singing and hula, and we were able to immerse ourselves in Hawaii. Thank you to the dolphin teacher and the wonderful staff who are always positive. We were deeply moved.
We will definitely come back for another session.
I couldn't go buy the DVD because I succumbed to sleepiness.
5歳の息子と家族三人で参加させていただきました。
泳げない息子にシュノーケリングは不安がありましたが、野生のイルカに会いたくて参加を決めました。
本当にイルカに会えるのか心配でしたが、当日はたくさんのイルカに会うことが出来ました。華麗にスピンまで披露してくれました。
息子も海に飛び込んだものの、足がつかないので不安そうな表情でしたが、スタッフの方もサポータしてくださったのでイルカ先生に会う事が出来ました。色々とご配慮いただきありがとうございました。子供の面倒をみていただけたので親も楽しめました。
船の上では、歌やフラ。たくさんのハワイに触れる事が出来ました。イルカ先生、そして『いつも前向き』な素敵なスタッフのみなさん。たくさんの感動ありがとうございました。
また、受講しに行きます。
DVD、睡魔に負けて購入しに行けませんでした。

My friends and I had come to Hawaii for Spring Break, and they had literally spent the entire time just sitting on the beach drinking and getting tans. That was cool for about a day or two then I was done! I wanted to DO SOMETHIN!
I heard about this water park and it seemed like something that would be fun to mix it up and get goin!
And It was. It was cool, and fun, and a great change of pace from how bored I was! I liked the fast rides and slides....the little number thing that helped you pick them was cool cuz I chose all the fast and hard ones! yeah!
I say go to this park for sure. Cool.
After staying in Waikiki for the week, my kids were climbing the walls and my wife and I were ready for a change and just needed to get out and spend a day away from the hotel. This was a perfect choice. The free transport from the hotel also really helped to justify the costs for me as the wallet-holder!
The ride there wasn't too long, just under an hour, and when we got there, the kids went nuts! It was go go go all day, and when they got home to the hotel that night, they went straight to bed! I swear, I wanted to go back the next day just for that reason alone! It was a great day and I highly recommend the park, especially for families.
This was the third time we've taken Captain Bob's and for the third time, we had a great time. This has become a "must do" activity for us on every trip. The crew is friendly and helpful - Jenner and Kelly stood out for us - and the lunch was very good. The sandbar is my favorite part of the activity. As long as Captain Bob keeps sailing, we'll continue to climb aboard!
I previously participated in a morning tour with my husband in March. At that time, it was cold and the sky was overcast, and the seawater was so cold that we had to give up on snorkeling! However, we got some great photos at the beautiful sandbar!
This time, I joined an afternoon tour with friends! We were able to enjoy snorkeling, but due to the tides, the sandbar seemed to be underwater?? We couldn't see the beach that appeared in the sea. What a shame.
We were able to see sea turtles multiple times and even swam with them!
以前３月に主人と午前のツアー参加した経験ありです。その時は寒く空もどんより・・余りに海水が冷たくシュノーケル断念！しかし、美しいサンドバーと記念写真はバッチリ！
今回は友達と午後のツアー参加！シュノーケルは楽しめましたが、潮の満ち干きの関係？あれっ？サンドバーが海中？？海に現れる砂浜は対面出来ず。残念。
海がめさんは何回も見れたし一緒に海中で泳げましたよ！

The water slide was a lot of fun. My 2-year-old loved the kids' slide and went down it dozens of times. My 10-year-old daughter was very happy with the thrilling slides that aren't available in Japan. However, it seemed like it was just the start of summer vacation, and even though we went on a Friday, it was quite crowded, and we had to wait over 40 minutes for some rides. Because of that, we didn't have enough time (＞＜). I would like to go again when it's less crowded. Also, even if you choose a plan without a float, you can borrow one. Everyone was using them freely on-site, and there was nothing written on the wristbands to check.
ウォータースライダーがとても楽しかったです。
２歳の子は、子供用の滑り台が気に入り何十回も滑っていました。１０歳の娘は日本にはない迫力のあるスライダーにとても喜びました。しかしちょうど夏休みに入っていたようで、金曜日に行きましたが結構混んでいて４０分以上並んだものもありました。。。ですので、時間が全然足りませんでした（＞＜）もう少し、混んでいない時にまた行きたいです。あと浮き輪はついていないプランでも借りられます。現地では、みんなが勝手に使っていました。チェックするところも、リストバンドにも何も書かれていなかったです。

I participated in a dolphin tour departing from Ko Olina Bay three times, each with a different operator, but this one was the best so far. The reasons are: 1) the guide provided very thorough explanations, 2) after seeing the dolphins, we enjoyed observing turtles and tropical fish, and we also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking all in one go, plus meals, snacks, and drinks (juice) were included.
In other tours, the drinks were just something like hot water. It felt like they were cutting costs quite a bit, but here they even included malasadas. It was all very well thought out and fulfilling.
The crew was bright and friendly, and they made sure everyone had a good time. The Japanese staff were also very polite and kind. It was a tour where we could enjoy ourselves while respecting the ocean, and I was completely satisfied. I will definitely re-enroll at the Private Dolphin University next time.
ここコオリナ湾から出港するイルカツアーに過去３回それぞれ別の催行で参加しましたが、ここがこれまでで一番よかったですね。それは、１）ガイドがとても丁寧に説明してくれる２）イルカを見た後は、亀と熱帯魚の観察、そして今はやりのスタンドパドルやシーカヤック体験と一度に３つも楽しめ、さらに食事とスナックと飲み物（ジュース）が付くところですね。
他のツアーで出る飲み物は、白湯のようなものだけ。かなり経費節約って感じですが、ここはさらにマラサダが付きます。至れり尽くせりで、充実していますよ。
クルーも皆明るくて親切で、平等に楽しませてくれました。日本人スタッフの方もとても礼儀正しく、親切でした。海への敬意を払いつつ、楽しむことができる、納得のツアーでした。今度も私立イルカ大学に再入学します。

The young lady that greeted us at the Airport did a fabulous job. This was our families first time to the islands and my family had no idea that we were going to be greeted with the most beautiful lei's. Thank you for your help in starting our vacation out with a bang.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!
Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!
Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!
We took a boat from a location about 30 minutes by car from Waikiki, starting with sea turtle watching. The turtles were on the smaller side, but we were able to see two or three right away. Then, we quickly arrived at the sandbar.
On the boat, there was an explanation about the option for photo shoots that would be made into a DVD. Since I didn't have a waterproof camera, I signed up right away. Without worrying about getting wet, we were able to take plenty of photos of the two of us with the stunning scenery as the backdrop.
I highly recommend it!! Over 50 photos for $60, ready the same day.
During snorkeling, we got really close to the sea turtles. It was a satisfying tour.
Although it was a morning tour, it wasn't too tiring, and we were able to make good use of the afternoon as well.
ワイキキから車で30分くらいの所からボートに乗って、
まずは海がめウォッチング。サイズは小さめですが、すぐに２，３匹見ることができました。そして、すぐにサンドバーに到着。
ボートの中でDVDに仕上がる写真撮影のオプションの説明がありました。防水カメラを用意していなかったので、早速申し込みました。濡れる心配もなく、最高の景色を背景に二人の写真を思う存分撮って頂きました。
お勧めです！！50枚以上で60ドル。当日の仕上がりです。
シュノーケリングでは海がめと大接近。満足なツアーです。
午前中のツアーでしたが、そこまで疲れることもなく、午後からの時間も有効に使えました。

My family and I went on the Hawaii Dolphin Swim & Snorkel on June 26, 2011 morning swim. It was beyond our expectations. We found dolphins right away and the captain and crew knew exactly where to find them. There were several dolphin pods and we were able to get pretty close to them but not touching them. 3 of them hovered about 5 feet below my wife and I making their squeal and clicking sounds. It was amazing. The snorkel equipment they provided was in good shape and very reliable. The boat was fine with plenty of room to move around and feel safe aboard. The crew was very professional, friendly and entertaining. The food was average but any time you've been in the water for a while, coming out to a hot burger is always delicious. I would highly recommend this trip especially if you want to get in the water. We also had time to freelance snorkel in an area 25 feet deep that had several sea turtles hanging out. They were fabulous to watch swim by you on their way to the surface
This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.
That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.
I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.
We seen so many dolphins and we were even fortunate enough to see Bottlenose Dolphins which are much much bigger than the frequent spinner dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins do not come around the islands very often so this was a real treat, maybe even a once in a lifetime opportunity!!
The crew was very friendly and they held my sister's hand in the water because she is afraid of sea animals. But ONCE she put her mask on and placed her head under the water, it was a whole different world for her filled with beautiful colored fish and a huge reef system that surrounded her.
Wonderful crew, Tasty food, everyone on-board was really friendly and after a nice dip out in the deep blue ocean, you are treated to an open bar. Great Stuff! Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Ocean Joy Cruises for a wonderful dolphin watch and cruise!
On June 21st, a bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 AM. Several couples boarded the bus from the same meeting point. After that, we visited three locations with a total of 18 passengers heading to our destination. Along the way, we made a five-minute restroom stop at a park near the destination, and then we arrived at the intended port.
With two buses, we had a total of 45 people boarding the boat. The crew was mostly Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The captain in the yellow T-shirt in the first photo is Mr. Hasegawa. After leaving the port, the boat took almost ten minutes to reach the sandbar. It was so close that there was no time to get seasick. During that time, our guide, Izumi, provided various instructions. Just before we arrived at our destination, we encountered a swimming turtle. I spotted three turtles.
When we arrived at the destination, it looked like this... (fourth photo)! Due to the tides, it may not always be possible to visit at low tide. This time, the water was about knee-deep. We walked around for about 20 minutes before returning to the boat, where half of the group went snorkeling while the rest had a meal. We were part of the meal group. There was more food than we could eat, and everyone was more than satisfied with the amount.
When we started snorkeling, a baby sea turtle approached us. It seemed accustomed to humans and climbed onto the guide's bodyboard. After that, it swam around us.
The snorkeling around the coral had a limited number of fish, which might be a bit disappointing for experienced divers. Since we were wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive.
The snorkeling lasted about 15 minutes. After that, we returned to the boat and headed back to the port.
During that time, the only girl on the boat was chosen by the captain to hold the helm next to him. She seemed nervous, but it was a great experience for her.
While not everything was perfect, the guides had a genuine desire to entertain us, making it an enjoyable tour. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.
6月21日朝8時半にホテルにピックアップのバスが来た。
同じ集合場所からは数組みのカップルの方がバスに乗り込んだ。その後3か所を回り18名の乗員で目的地に向かった。
途中、トイレ休憩で目的地そばの公園に5分ぐらい止まり、
その後目的の港に着いた。
２台のバスで総勢４５名になり船に乗り込んだ。
クルーはほぼ日本人の方々で言葉は心配ない。
１枚目の写真の黄色のＴシャツのキャプテンは長谷川さんと言う。
船は港を出た後・・・目的地のサンドバーまでほぼ１０分。
船酔いなどしている暇もないぐらい近い。
その間、ガイドのいずみさんが色々諸注意を話してくれた。
目的地に着く寸前、カメが泳いでいるのに遭遇。私は３頭のカメを見つけた。
目的地に着き降りるとこんな感じ・・・４枚目！干満の関係で１００％干潮時に行けない場合もあると言う事だ。
今回は膝の下ぐらいでした。
散歩を２０分ぐらいして船に戻り、半分の方がシュノーケル。残りの人は食事となった。我々は食事の組み。
食事は食べきれないほどあり、だれもが十分満足できる量だった。
次にシュノーケルを始める時、子どものウミガメが我々に近寄ってきた。
人間に慣れているようで、ガイドの方のボディーボードへ乗っかってきた。
その後、我々の周りを回っていた。
サンゴの周辺のシュノーケルは魚影はこの程度でもぐった体験者にはちょっと物足りないかな？
ライフジャケットを着ているので・・・潜る事は出来ない。
シューノーケルは１５分ぐらいだったかな？
その後船に戻って港に戻った。
その際、船に一人しかいなかった娘が船長に指名されて、
キャプテンの横で舵を持たせてもらった。
本人は緊張していたようだが・・・よい経験をさせていただきました。
全てＯＫではないが、ガイドの方々の楽しませようという気持ちがあり。楽しめるツアーになっている。
天気が良ければもっと良いだろう。

The prestigious Dolphin University was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for their thoughtfulness.
I was unsure which cruise to choose, but I'm glad I went with Dolphin University.
The boat had a roof, so I wasn't exposed to direct sunlight, and after swimming in the ocean, it was nice to have warm tea served if I got cold. I appreciated that a lot. They took photos and sold them on DVD, so I didn't even need to bring my camera, which made it convenient.
We were lucky with the weather, and I felt like around 50 dolphins swam beneath me.
The turtles and yellow fish were also cute and fun. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!
名門イルカ大学最高でした。たくさんのスタッフの方の気遣いありがとうございました。
海でのクルーズでどれにしようか迷いましたが、イルカ大学にしてよかったです。
船に屋根があったので直射日光が当たらないし、海に入った後寒くなったら暖かいお茶が出てきたり、とてもありがたかったです。写真を撮ってくれてDVDで販売してくれるのでカメラも持って行かずにすみ楽でした。
天気にも恵まれ50頭ぐらいはイルカが私の下を泳いで行ったように思えます。
亀や黄色い魚もかわいくて楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加します！！

The dolphins were really smart and cute with high IQs.
This time, due to the strong yen, I participated in the most expensive course. It was a fun activity filled with smiles, allowing me to interact directly with the dolphins in a way that I probably couldn't experience in Japan.
I used a limited-time coupon from alan1 to get a DVD with the photos I purchased, so I was able to bring home both memories and a video souvenir, which made me very satisfied.
イルカさんはＩＱが高く本当に利口でかわいかったです。
今回は円高でもあり一番高いコースに参加しました。
日本では恐らく体験できないほどイルカさんと直接触れあうことができ楽しく笑顔溢れるアクティビティでした。
写真購入でＤＶＤをＧＥＴできるalan1さんの期間限定クーポンを利用させてもらい思い出と映像のお土産ともに持ち帰ることができ満足です。

The staff was great, the food was good, and the snorkeling was fun.
We were greated at the gate by a pleasant young lady w beautiful, thick, fragrant leis. She escorted us to baggage claim and directed us to our waiting car.. Thank you for the excellent service and quality product. The young lady was especially nice.
GREAT TIME
The greeter is always on time, welcoming and helpful. Will use this service everytime we go to Hawaii. Thanks for helping us start our trip!
Took my mother to Hawaii for her 70th b-day. She was surprised when we got the leis. The lady who did it was very nice and gave us a lot of helpful tips and directions around the airport. Lei lasted, at the advice of the lady, for a few days.
I experienced this after being recommended by a friend who went to Hawaii the year before last. The opportunity to interact with dolphins is quite rare, so it was really great. The Royal Course foot push (where two dolphins push your feet) was so much fun. I tried it twice with my companion, but we couldn't do it well and found it really difficult.
There were also plans to interact with sea lions and Hawaiian leis, and time flew by quickly. At the entrance, you receive a wristband with the times for each program, but the times listed can vary; some are the check-in deadlines (30 minutes before the meeting time) while others are the start times, which can lead to a lot of waiting and rushing. It might be a good idea to confirm the meeting and start times with a staff member who speaks Japanese after receiving the wristband.
一昨年ハワイに行った友達に勧められて体験しました。
イルカと触れ合えるという体験はなかなか出来ないのでとてもよかったです。
ロイヤルコースのフットプッシュ（２頭のイルカに足を押してもらう）は本当に楽しかったです。
一緒に行った２回トライしましたがうまくできず、すごく難しいと言っていました。
他にもシーライオンと触れ合うプランとハワイアンレイと触れ合うプランがセットになっていて時間があっという間に過ぎてしまいました。
入り口で各プログラムの時間が書かれたリストバンドをはめてもらうのですが、記載されている時間があるプログラムはチェックイン締切時間（集合時間の３０分前）だったりまたあるプログラムは開始時間だったりとまちまちですごく待たされたり慌てることになったりと大変でした。
バンドをもらったら日本語ができるスタッフに集合時間や開始時間を確認したほうがいいかもしれません。

This was a place I absolutely wanted to visit on my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good on the day, and it wasn't the picturesque scenery you see in guidebooks, but I was able to see the sandbar. There was a Japanese guide, but since the main language was English, there were parts I didn't understand.
However, I was satisfied because I got to see sea turtles and go snorkeling!
初ハワイで、ここには絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。
あいにく当日は天気があまり良くなく、ガイドブックでみるような景色ではなかったですが、サンドバーを見ることはできました☆
日本人ガイドさんはいたのですが、英語メインだったので何をいっているのかわからないとこもありました・・
でもウミガメもシュノーケルもできたので満足です♪

"It was written that you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles, but what I wanted to do was 'snorkel with the turtles,' so I participated with half expectation and half anxiety, thinking, 'Maybe I'll just be looking at them from the boat.' But I did it! 'Snorkeling with the turtles!' I think I was lucky. Of course, since they are wild, you can't do it every time, but if I go to Hawaii again, I would like to join this tour."
「海ガメには高い確率で出会えます」と書いてあったけど、
私のやりたいことは、「カメと一緒にシュノーケリング」だったので、「船の上から眺めるだけかなあ」と期待半分不安半分で参加しました。
で、やれました！「カメとのシュノーケリング！」
運が良かったと思います。
もちろん、野生だから、毎回必ず出来るわけじゃないけど、
またハワイに行ったらこのツアーに参加したいと思います。
