All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The bodyboard lesson was conducted in a private wave pool. However, the instruction mainly consisted of gestures on how to hold the board, with no lectures on how to ride the waves, leaving most participants just swaying in the water. For those who can't ride the waves on their own, the instructor will give you a good push at the right moment, allowing you to experience the feeling of bodyboarding. The BBQ was in a buffet style, and to be honest, it wasn't anything special. The items sold at the shop looked more delicious.

ボディーボードレッスンは波のプールを貸し切って
レッスンしてくれました。
しかし、レッスンといっても　ボードの持ち方を
ジェスチャーで教えてくれただけで波ののり方などの
レクチャーはなく、ただ波に揺られているだけという人が
ほとんどです。自分で波に乗れない人は
先生のところに行くといいタイミングで押してくれるので
ボディーボード気分が味わえますよ。
BBQはブッフェ形式で、正直たいしたものではありません。
売店で売っているものの方が美味しそうでした。

I participated with my husband on June 19, 2010. The tour exceeded my expectations and was the most enjoyable part of our trip.

I was able to meet Dolphin Sensei, and my long-time dream came true.

All the staff members were wonderful people. The president, Yuriko, is truly a lovely person who pays attention to detail. She remembered the names of everyone who participated in the tour and shared valuable stories with us. (It’s amazing considering how many people there were!)

Thank you for the happy time. I would love to participate again.

2010.6.19に旦那と二人で参加しました。
ツアーの内容は想像以上に良く、今回の旅で一番楽しかったです。

イルカ先生にも出会えたし、長年の夢が叶いました。

スタッフの方たちもみんな素敵な人たちです。
学長のＹＵＲＩＫＯさんは細かい気配りができる本当に素敵な人。
ツアーに参加した全員の名前を覚えてくれたり、ためになるお話をしてくれたり。（たくさんいたのにすごい！！）

幸せな時間をありがとうございました。
また参加したいです。

Many people have written about the tour content. It was truly a fun tour. I will share my thoughts on the gap between my expectations before participating and the actual experience.

<An early morning departure isn’t tough!>
Listening to the staff's stories in the car as they pick you up makes the sleepiness disappear, and my excitement gradually increases.

<Don’t underestimate seasickness!>
I’ve never experienced motion sickness, but I got seasick. More specifically, while snorkeling and drifting on the water's surface, I felt nauseous. I recommend going to bed early the night before and taking motion sickness medication.

<You can’t touch the dolphins, but it’s moving!>
Since they are wild dolphins, you can’t touch them. However, seeing a pod of dolphins in their natural state is truly moving. The dolphins seem to take an interest in us, swimming around us, as if welcoming us.

<It’s fine for kids too>
The staff will stay close by, so as long as your child isn’t afraid of the water, they can enjoy swimming in the ocean. Kids can also experience kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. I would love for my child to participate when I have one.

<Even a difficult man smiles...>
The staff genuinely enjoy themselves, and that energy naturally spreads to the participants, making everyone smile. After joining this tour, I broke out of my usual shell and switched to Hawaii mode, both mentally and physically.

<You won’t be exhausted even with a packed morning>
This tour allows you to return to the hotel by around noon. There’s so much to do in the morning, yet you can still be active in the afternoon. This is because everyone is fast asleep in the return vehicle, resting up for the afternoon activities. The staff who provided various information on the way there quietly let participants rest on the way back. You can maintain the same high energy from the morning and handle afternoon plans as well. I think it’s perfectly fine to fill your schedule with shopping and beach activities.

That’s how it was. I hope this helps!

ツアーの内容については多くの方が記されている通り。
本当に楽しいツアーでした。
私は、参加する前と実際に参加してのギャップについて記します。
＜朝早い出発は辛くない！＞
迎えに来られるスタッフの方のお話を車中で聞いていると　眠気は吹っ飛び、だんだんテンションがあがってきます。

＜船酔いを甘く見ちゃダメ！＞
乗り物酔いなんてしたことがない私が船酔い。というよりもシュノーケリングで水面を漂っていると酔っちゃいました。前日は早めに就寝し、酔い止めの薬は飲んでおいたほうがよいと思います。

＜イルカには触れられないけど感動！＞
野生のイルカなので触れません。でも自然のままのイルカの群れを見ると感動します。イルカ達も私たちに興味を持って周りをグルグルまわってくれるんで、歓迎してくれているみたい。

＜子供でも大丈夫＞
スタッフの方がずっとそばに付き添ってくれますので、水を怖がらない海水浴が普通にできる子供さんなら大丈夫。カヤックやスタンドアップ・パドルも体験できます。子供ができたらぜひ参加させたい。

＜気難しい男にも笑みが・・・＞
スタッフ自身が本当に楽しんでいるんです。だから参加者にもそれが伝わり自然と顔が笑ってきます。こちらのツアーに参加して、いつもの自分の殻を破り、心身ともにハワイモードに切り替わりました。

＜朝から盛りだくさんでも疲れ果てない＞
このツアーは１２時くらいにはホテルに戻って来れます。
午前中だけで盛りだくさんなのに午後も活動的に動けます。なぜならば、送りの車中ではみんな爆睡して、午後からの活動に備えます。行きの車中では色々と案内をしてくれるスタッフの方も、帰りには静かに参加者を寝かせてくれます。
午前のハイテンションそのままで、午後の予定もこなせるでしょう。買い物やビーチなどどんどん予定を詰め込んでもＯＫかと思います。

こんな感じです。
参考にしてくださいね。

On June 14th, we set off on a tour to encounter wild dolphins under clear skies. I was worried about feeling sleepy since it was early in the morning, but my excitement outweighed those concerns, making them unnecessary.

First, we had Leonard's malasadas. I had actually eaten them a couple of days prior, so I knew how good they were, but they were still delicious! I could eat them over and over again.

The drive to the boat dock was quite long, but I enjoyed the scenery of Hawaii that I don't usually get to see, and before I knew it, we arrived.

Then we boarded the boat. It was quite cold out on the water... They offered wetsuits for $10, but I foolishly thought, "It’s such nice weather, I’ll be fine," and didn’t rent one. I was shivering until I got in the water (though I felt fine once I was in). If you're not good with the cold, it's safer to rent one.

When we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, we jumped into the water! For those who aren't confident swimmers, the handsome staff will pull you along with floatation devices, so you can relax. I was pulled along, which allowed me to see the dolphins up close!

As I was watching a pod of dolphins diving right in front of me, one swam right by my feet. I think there were more than ten of them, and there were even two baby dolphins.

In the midst of this excitement, a dolphin a little distance away performed spin jumps over and over again, and I was just so grateful and thrilled.

After that, we went snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles. There was a little boy on our tour who was overjoyed every time he spotted a turtle, which was very heartwarming. He was also thrilled to ride on a paddle boat with one of the staff members.

I tried stand-up paddleboarding, but it was difficult. The staff encouraged me to "Stand up! Stand up!" and while I did manage to stand for a moment, I quickly fell. But it was a lot of fun!

Then we had a cheeseburger lunch. It was a simple burger, but it was delicious!

On the way back to the boat dock, we enjoyed a ukulele live performance and hula lesson. The entire staff got everyone excited, and before we knew it, we had arrived.

Finally, we received eco bags as graduation certificates. I truly had a wonderful time, saw many dolphins, and I’m so glad I participated in this tour. The staff's attentiveness was also fantastic, making it enjoyable for people of all ages.

６/１４　快晴のなか、野生のイルカに出会うツアーに出発しました。
朝早くて途中で眠くならないかと心配していましたが、ワクワクドキドキのほうが強くて、そんな心配は無用でした。
まずはレナーズのマラサダ。実は前々日に食べていて味は知っていましたが、やっぱり美味しい！何度食べてもいいです。
ボート乗り場までのドライブ。かなり距離がありますが、ふだん見られないハワイの景色を堪能しているうちに着いていました。
そして船上へ。海の上はかなり寒い・・・。ウェットスーツを１０＄で貸してくれますが、「こんなにいい天気なら大丈夫でしょ」と借りずにいた私はバカでした。海に入るまでブルブル状態でした。（海に入った後は割と平気でしたが）寒いのが苦手な人は借りたほうが無難です。
そして船上からイルカの背びれが見えたところで、海にドボン！泳ぎが苦手な人は浮き具を使ってイケメンスタッフが引っぱていってくれるので安心です。私は引っぱってもらいました。おかげでイルカを至近距離で見ることができました！
目の前で海に潜るイルカの群れを目で追っていたら、私の足元を泳いでいきました。１０頭以上はいたと思います。赤ちゃんイルカも２頭いました。
そんな感動の中、少し離れた所で１頭のイルカがこれでもか！というぐらい何回も何回もスピンジャンプを決めてくれて、もう感謝感激でした。
そのあとは熱帯魚と海亀とのシュノーケリング。私たちのツアーには小さい男の子も参加していて、亀を見つけるたびに大喜びしていたのがとてもほほえましかったです。その子はスタッフのお兄さんにパドルボートに乗せてもらってご満悦でした。
私もスタンドアップパドルに挑戦しましたが難しい。スタッフの方に「立って！立って！」と励まされて立っては見たもののすぐにコケました。でも、とてもおもしろかったです。
そしてチーズバーガーのランチ。シンプルなバーガーなんだけど、これが美味しいの！
それからボート乗り場に戻りがてらウクレレライブとフラレッスン。スタッフ全員で盛り上げてくれるので、みんなで大盛り上がりしてるうちに着いてしまいました。
そして最後に卒業証書のエコバック。
もう本当に楽しくて、イルカもたくさん見られて、このツアーに参加してよかったと心から思います。
スタッフの気配りも素晴らしかったので、どんな年代のかたでも安心して楽しめる

I used this tour on June 15th. As soon as I headed to the pickup location, a staff member in a blue T-shirt assisted me. The pickup time was 9:30 AM and the park opening time was 10:30 AM, but we arrived at the park around 10:00 AM. After waiting for the park to open, we entered right at opening time and first rented a locker. The lockers were surprisingly expensive. I believe there were small and large sizes, with the small one costing $12 and the large one $17. Both sizes return $5 when you return the key along with the receipt, but it's still pricey. The small locker is really small, so it feels tight for more than two pieces of luggage. I didn't check the large one. The ground inside the park gets hot as it's concrete, so I recommend wearing flip-flops. When experiencing the slides, you need to pick up the inner tubes or boats at the exit of each slide. You have to carry quite heavy items to the entrance. I think the SHAKA was the heaviest? Since it was a Monday, the park was less crowded, and the lifeguards were rotating their positions at the slides, so there were some that we couldn't experience right away. They closed for about 30 minutes at a time. I participated in the deluxe plan, but honestly, I felt that lunch wasn't necessary. It's not that it was bad, but since we arrived in Waikiki around 4 PM, it might be better to have a light meal as a snack from there to prepare for the evening. With the park opening at 10:30 AM and leaving by 2:45 PM, it might feel short, but the park itself isn't that large, so we had plenty of fun. On the contrary, I felt that the price was a bit high for the scale. Still, there are slides of a scale that you can't find in Japan, so it might be worth visiting, not just for the beach. I had a great time.

6月15日にこのツアーを利用しました。ピックアップ場所に向かうとすぐ青いTシャツスタッフの方が対応してくれました。ピックアップ時間が9時30分で開園時間は10時30分でしたがパークには10時位には到着してしまいました。開園待ち後オープンと同時に入場し、まずロッカーを借ります。ロッカーが意外に高いです。確か大きさが小と大があって小が12$、大が17$だった気がします。いずれも鍵を返すときレシートと引き換えに5$返ってきますがそれでも高いです。小はホントに小さいロッカーですので荷物2つ以上はキツイ気がします。大は見ていなかったのでわかりません。パーク内の地面はコンクリートで熱くなりますのでビーチサンダルの着用をオススメいたします。スライダーを体験する時は各スライダーの出口で浮き輪やボートをピックアップしていくのもあります。中々重いのを担いで入り口いかなくてはなりません。SHAKAが一番重かったかな？この日は月曜なので空いているためかライフガードがスライダーの持ち場をローテションしていてすぐには体験出来ないのがありました。30分
間隔ぐらいで一度クローズしていました。デラックスプランでの参加でしたが正直、昼食は要らない気がしました。不味いとかではなく4時くらいにはもうワイキキに着いてしまうので、そこからオヤツがてら軽く食事をして夜に備えるのもいいかもしれません。10時半オープンで2時45分にはパークを出るので短いと感じるかもしれませんが、そこまでパーク自体が広くないので十分楽しめました。逆に規模に対して金額が少し高く感じました。それでも日本には無いようなスケールのスライダーもありますのでビーチだけではなく一度訪れるのもいいかもしれません。楽しかったです。

I previously participated in this tour and had a great time, so I joined again this time. During the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, I was able to see many sea turtles. Unfortunately, the sandbar had a high water level this time, so it wasn't visible, but the scenery was beautiful and amazing. The snorkeling seemed to have fewer fish... The BBQ on the boat was also fantastic! The meat was really delicious. There were nearly 50 participants this time, and the boat was quite crowded, plus while snorkeling, I often bumped into others, which made it a bit uncomfortable. I hope they consider limiting the number of participants per session a bit more.

以前このツアーに参加してとてもよかったので、今回また参加しました。
午後のBBQランチ付きの回でたくさんのウミガメを見ることができました。
残念ながら今回はサンドバーはかなり水位が高くて海面が出てなかったですが景色はキレイで最高でした。
シュノーケリングは魚がちょっと少なかったような・・・。
船の上で食べるBBQも最高！お肉かなりおいしいです。
今回参加者が50人近くいて、ボートがぎゅうぎゅうだったのとシュノーケリングも泳いでて人とぶつかることが多く気を使いながらという感じだったので1回の参加人数に制限をかけるなどもう少し考えてほしいと思います。

I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!

Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!

Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT

I was pleased with the Lei Greeting. The representative was there when our flight arrived, dressed in a Hawaiian dress, with both of the lei that we ordered. She explained a little about the lei, and their significance, and the difference between the two.

I would recommend this service, especially as a surprise for a family member, or for a first time visitor to the Islands.

The Lei Gretting was nice especially for first timers like us.

I participated with my parents in their 70s and my family, a total of six people. I was worried about my father, as he has weak legs, when boarding the submarine, but my husband supported him, and he was able to get on. We were also able to see a large sea turtle, and my 4-year-old son was very happy. The staff were very kind, and it became a wonderful memory.

70代の両親と家族、全部で6人で参加しました。父が足が弱いので、潜水艦に乗り込む時が心配でしたが、主人がサポートして、乗り込むことが出来ました。大きな海亀も見ることが出来、4才の息子も大喜びでした。スタッフの方もとても親切にしてくださり、楽しい思い出になりました。

This is my third time participating.
It has become a tradition to have this made every year on the way back.
I’m really happy that I can see the memories of this trip right after returning, accompanied by Hawaiian music.
Since coming back, my children and I have been watching it almost every day.
I want to cherish these memories with this DVD until I go to Hawaii again next year!

今回で3回目の参加になります。
毎年　帰りにこれを作って頂くのが　恒例に　なってしまいました。
ハワイアンの音楽に会わせ　今回の旅行の　思いでが　帰ってすぐにみれるので　とっても　うれしいです。
また　帰ってきてから　子供と一緒に　毎日のように　見ています。
また　来年ハワイにいくときまで　このDVDで　思い出にひたりたいです！　

I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my two children, aged 8 and 4. The blue sky and blue sea were incredibly refreshing. As soon as we boarded, the captain pointed and said "Honu!" and there was a sea turtle. The kids lay on the net, looking into the water to see what else they could spot. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. The captain and staff were very friendly, speaking to the kids in simple Japanese and even taking them to the cockpit for photos, which was a lot of fun. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

60歳の母と私　8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。

This was my first time visiting. A large tour bus picked us up, and we arrived at the location! I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my 8-year-old and 4-year-old children, making a group of four.

There were so many things we wanted to do, but time flew by, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer. My 8-year-old loved the wave pool and wouldn’t leave it. The waves were incredible, far beyond what you find in Japanese wave pools. The next day, for some reason, my mother and I both had muscle soreness! The bodyboarding lesson was also a lot of fun. It was our first attempt, but the staff member helped us ride the waves skillfully, and we were very satisfied.

The lunch buffet had a modest variety and selection, but the meat was cooked medium, tender, and very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time.

However, there were some people who were over 30 minutes late for the return bus, which was very inconvenient. They ended up being left behind, but I wish they would consider that there are others waiting in the hot bus who arrived on time and had to wait for more than 30 minutes.

今回はじめて　行ってきました。大きな観光バスでお迎えがきて　現地到着！60歳の母と8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。
とにかくたくさんやりたいことがあるのですが　あっという間に時間になってしまい　もうちょっと長くいれたらな~　なんて思いました。8歳の子は波のプールが気に入ってしまい　そこからはなれませんでした。とにかく　すごい波　日本の波のプールはめじゃないです。次の日　なぜか　母と二人　筋肉痛になっていました！　ボディーボードレッスンもとっても楽しかったです。私も8歳の息子も　初挑戦でしたが　スタッフのお兄さんに　上手に波に載せてもらい　大満足でした。　お昼のビュッフェも　品数　種類は　質素な感じでしたが　お肉は　ミディアムで　柔らかく　とてもおいしかったです。

帰りのバス　集合時間を30分以上たってもこないかたがいて　とても迷惑でした　その人達は　結局おいて　出発しましたが　熱いバスの中　時間通りにきて　30分以上も待たされる人がいるということを　少しは考えて欲しいです。

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.

午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。

First, regarding the departure, a dedicated park bus will pick you up. You'll be sharing the ride with other foreign guests. The air conditioning inside the bus is very strong, so it's essential to bring a jacket. It's fine to wear swimsuits on the way there and back. Upon arrival, a Japanese guide will be waiting for you, but the explanation inside the facility is done using a pamphlet, which is quite general, and I would have preferred more specific information.

First, about the lockers: they are smaller than typical Japanese lockers, so it might be difficult for two people to use a small one. You can either rent a large locker or minimize your belongings to use a small one. The lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. While there is some grass inside the facility, most of the walking is on concrete, so moving around barefoot could lead to burns; I recommend wearing sandals.

For lunch, I heard it would be a BBQ, but it turned out to be an all-you-can-eat selection of salad, rice, chicken, beef, and fruit. The taste is not bad, but the variety is limited, so I was a bit disappointed given the price.

As for the attractions, some become available at specific times or may temporarily close, so not all attractions are accessible at all times. A good tip is to experience the attractions that are open first to avoid wasting time. For popular attractions, the wait can be up to 30 minutes. The attractions are all unique and not found in Japan, so I hope you can experience as many as possible. Surprisingly, a popular attraction is located on a mountainside, and you have to lift and carry a giant inflatable ring yourself, which requires some stamina. Therefore, it can be challenging to keep riding consecutively.

You can bring underwater cameras on all attractions. It's fine to take off your sandals before riding, but towels can be a hassle since you need to go back to the locker to retrieve them, or they might get stolen. The changing rooms, restrooms, and showers are all in the same area and were reasonably clean.

まず、出発ですがこのパーク専用バスが送迎してくれます。外国人の人たちとも同席です。車内はクーラーがんがんにきいてますので上着は必須。行き帰りは水着を着用されていても大丈夫です。現地に到着すると日本人ガイドさんが待機してくれていますが館内説明がパンフレットを用いてして下さるのですが大まか過ぎてもう少し具体的な内容がほしかったです。まずロッカーですが日本のロッカーより一回りも小さいサイズなので小を2人で使用するのは困難でしょう。大を1つレンタルするか荷物を最小限にして小を1つ利用するかですね。ロッカーは何度も開け閉め可能です。館内は芝生も一部ありますがほとんどコンクリートの上を歩くので素足で移動すると火傷を起こしかねないのでサンダルで移動する事をおすすめします。昼食はBBQと聞いていましたがサラダ、米、チキン、ビーフ、果物の取り放題となっており味は悪くないですが種類が少ないので値段の割にはがっかりでした。
あと各アトラクションですが物によって時間で利用可能になったり一旦、中止にしたりと常に全てのアトラクションがいつでも利用できる訳ではないのでこつとしては開いているアトラクションから体験すると無駄な時間が省けますよ。人気のアトラクションでは最大30分待ち程度でした。アトラクションは日本にはない物ばかりで是非1つでも多く体験してもらいたいと思います。意外に人気アトラクションは山肌にあり巨大な浮き輪も自力で持ち上げて運ばなくてはならないので体力はいりますね。なのであまりがんがんと続けて乗る事は困難です。どのアトラクションも水中カメラは持っていても大丈夫です。サンダルは乗る前に脱ぎ置きしても大丈夫ですがタオルは使用する時に面倒ですがロッカーまで取りに行かないと盗まれます。更衣室、トイレ、シャワーは同じ場所にありますがまずまずの奇麗さでしたよ。

I visited at the end of May a little while ago. Even though it was the rainy season, I didn't get caught in the rain, so I didn't feel cold. Just a short run away, there's a beautiful sea, and the inflatable slide was really fun. Since my husband and the locals are of BIG size, riding together was thrilling as I felt like I was being tossed around and almost thrown off. I'm sure kids would absolutely love it. It can get quite cold during this time when there's shade or a breeze, so even on cloudy days, I recommend buying a rash guard at places like Walmart to prevent sunburn. The UV rays are very strong, and it's refreshing, so you might find yourself wanting to be in the sun. To avoid ruining your trip by getting too burned, you can purchase one starting from $15, just for your reference!

If you rent a car and go by yourself, it can get quite expensive. I highly recommend taking advantage of the "☆Group Discounts!☆ With Shuttle Service" campaign on this site. It seems that even-numbered groups get 25% off. I went with the "Standard Plan for 2 Adults." The plan doesn't include meals, but soft drinks are all-you-can-drink! So you don't need to bring your own drinks. Also, the fries at Windjammer Food Court are the best! Definitely order them as a single item. The portion is astonishing. They are loaded with cheddar cheese and bacon. Start with one and then decide if you want more based on your appetite!

Lastly, if you have shuttle service, the hotel pickup is around 9 AM, but since it opens at 10:30, it will be a leisurely drive until then. The bus is kept very cold, so please make sure to bring a jacket or something to protect against the wind. Please note that the facility is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June to August.

ちょっと前になりますが5月最終週に行ってきました。
雨季なのに雨に降られなかったので寒い思いはしませんでした。
ちょっと走れば、きれいな海ですが、浮輪系のスライダーが本当に楽しかったです。主人や現地の人たちがBIGサイズなので、一緒に乗ると振り回され、ほおり出されそうになるスリルが本当に楽しかったです。きっと子供は大喜びだと思います。日陰や風が吹くとこの時期寒いので、曇りでも日焼け防止もかね、ウォルマートとかでラッシュガード買っておくのもお勧めです。紫外線が非常に強く、さわやかなのでついつい日向に出たくなります。焼き過ぎで旅を台無しにしないためにも、$15~から購入できますのでご参考に！
レンタカーを借りて自分で行くと、かなり高いお値段になります。
是非とも、本サイトの「☆グループで行くとお得なキャンペーン！☆ 送迎付き」を活用してください。偶数人が25%OFFのようです。私も「大人2人スタンダードプラン」で行きました。
食事は無しのプランですが、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題！だから飲み物は持参しなくても大丈夫ですよ。また、ウインドジャマー・フードコートのポテトが最高！単品で是非頼んでください。驚きの量です。チェダーチーズとベーコンがゴッテリのっています。まず1つ他のでから、お腹と相談して追加しましょう！
最後に、送迎付きの場合、9時ぐらいにホテルピックアップですが、10:30OPENなので、それまで、ゆっくりなドライブになります。バスの中はキンキンに冷やされますので、パーカーなど風除けは必ず持っていてくださいね。
6月~8月以外は、火・水が休館日なのでご注意ください。

You will be seated with people from countries other than Japan at each hotel. The air conditioning in the car is quite strong, so bringing a jacket is essential. After arriving at the site, a Japanese person will give a brief tour of the facility, but I found it a bit too simple, which made me a little anxious. The lockers cost $7 (with $2 refunded), but unlike in Japan, they are small, so if you want to take off your sandals, you'll need to put them in a locker, so I think it's better for each person to have one. Since it's expensive, those who are hesitant might want to minimize their luggage. Additionally, the lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. The park is made of concrete, so there's a risk of burns, so I recommend wearing sandals. There are slides that you won't find in Japan, and riding on any of them gives you an amazing feeling. Photos are taken on all the slides, and you can see them at the souvenir shop on your way back. However, since all the photos from the slides can only be viewed in one place, there tends to be a long line, so if you want to see your images, it's important to wrap up your fun and head there at least an hour before the meeting time. Lunch was described as a BBQ lunch, but it was just a buffet with salad, chicken, beef, fruit, and rice. Drinks were unlimited, but there were only about four types, so it was a disappointing lunch considering the price. Also, not all attractions in the park are open all the time; some are temporarily closed, and others open later, so I recommend not giving up if the attraction you want to try is closed and instead experiencing the ones that are open. The changing rooms and shower facilities were decent.

各ホテルから日本人以外の国の方と同席で現地へ。車内はクーラーが効きすぎてるので上着は必須です。現地へ到着後に日本人が館内案内をしてくれるのですが簡単過ぎて少々不安でした。ロッカーは小7＄（2＄返却されます。）ですが日本と違い小さくサンダルを脱ぎたい人はロッカーに入れないといけないので1人１つの方が良いかと思います。高いので抵抗ある人は荷物を最小限にすることが妥当かと思います。あとロッカーは何度でも開け閉め可能です。園内はコンクリートなので火傷する可能性もあるのでサンダルを履く事をおすすめします。日本ではない滑り台ばかりで何を乗っても最高の気分があじわえます。全てのスライダーに写真撮影がされていますが帰りにお土産やの中に写真を見せてくれますが、なんせ全てのスライダーの撮影された物が一か所でしか見れないので長蛇の列ができており自分の画像を見たい人は集合時間の1時間前には遊ぶのをきりあげて行く事がポイントです。昼食はBBQランチとの記載でしたがサラダ、チキン、ビーフ、果物、ライスのみのバイキングでした。飲み物は飲み放題でしたが種類は4種類程度で金額の割には期待外れの昼食でした。また、園内の各アトラクションは常に開いている訳ではなく時間によって一旦中止され、中止されていたアトラクションが開いたりしている物がいくつかあったので、やりたいアトラクションが閉まっているからといって諦めず開いている物から体験する事をおすすめします。更衣室、シャワー室はまずまずの環境でした。

When I thought of Hawaii, I only thought of the ocean, so I had never been before, but I really enjoyed it. There are a lot of attractions, and they are all interesting. The local high school students casually approached me, saying, "It's more fun to ride with a big group, so let's ride together," and they suggested, "Let's race!" on the water slide. It's great to be able to play with the locals. Also, the staff members were very friendly.

ハワイと言えば海！と思っていたので今まで行ったことがなかったのですが、楽しめました。
たくさんアトラクションがあり、どれもおもしろいです。
地元の高校生に「大人数で乗ったほうが楽しいから一緒に乗ろう」と、気さくに話しかけてくれたりウォータースライダーで「競争しよう！」など、地元の人たちと遊べるのもイイものですよ。
また、スタッフの方たちも親切でした。

The staff is friendly, and I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! I was lucky to see manta rays and sea turtles as well. I want to participate again!

スタッフがフレンドリーだし
サンドバーの美しさに感動!
運良くマンタ、海ガメも見れてラッキー☆
また参加したい程です。

My first goal on my honeymoon in Hawaii was not shopping or relaxing on the beach, but to swim with wild dolphins! However, I’m a bit of a weak swimmer... and shy...

I was in search of a safe, enjoyable tour with a high chance of encountering dolphins, and I found

"Dolphin University"!!!!!!

The tour price is definitely not cheap... However, due to the high ratings and the wonderful personalities of the tour staff that shone through on their website, I decided to go with them. If you are hesitating for similar reasons, I absolutely recommend Dolphin University!

In the morning, we received a surprise wake-up call from President Yuriko♪ The malasadas from Leonard's that we stopped by were so delicious that even girls could easily eat three! Shortly after boarding, we had a group introduction and photo time, which helped us bond with the other guests. Before we knew it, we arrived at the dolphin spot. I will never forget the excitement when a pod of dolphins swam towards us.

Then we jumped into the sea! For those who can't swim, the handsome crew members will pull you along with a float. There were mother and baby dolphins in the pod, and the baby dolphins came really close to us.

After about an hour of fun, we moved by boat to the snorkeling point. I forgot the name of the place, but the water was so beautiful that I could have stayed underwater forever.

Then it was lunchtime with cheeseburgers in paradise☆ Made by Captain Papa. I realized it had been a while since I laughed so much while enjoying my meal.

The hula dance time after lunch is all about having fun, even if it's your first time!! Before we knew it, we were back at the port.

The day really flew by. It's a good idea to bring a waterproof camera. The boat has a restroom☆ Even at the end of May, it's better to rent a wetsuit (it gets cold after coming out of the water). You can change from your swimsuit to clothes at the port on the way back.

I think this is one of the few tours that makes me want to repeat the experience.

Thank you so much to President Yuriko and all the crew for such a wonderful time!!!!

ハネムーンで初ハワイでの私の第一目標は、買い物でもビーチでバカンスでもなく、野生のイルカさんと泳ぎたい！！でした。
しかし若干カナヅチ気味な私...そして人見知り...
安心安全かつ楽しく愉快なイルカ遭遇率の高いツアー☆
を探し求めて出逢ったのが

『名門イルカ大学』！！！！！

けして安くはないツアー代金...
しかし口コミ評価の高さ、ツアースタッフの画面からにじみ出る人柄の良さからここに決めました。
もしも　同じような理由で迷っている方、イルカ大学絶対オススメです！

朝はユリコ学長のサプライズモーニングコール♪
途中で立ち寄るレナーズのマラサダは女子でもかるく３個はいけるくらい絶品です。
乗船してからまもなく始まる全員の紹介＆写真タイムのおかげで、他のお客さん達とも仲良く打ち解けられました。
そして　あっという間にイルカさんポイントに到着です。
十数頭のイルカさんの群れがこっちに向かってきた時の興奮は忘れられません。

そしてすぐに海へＩＮ！！
泳げない人はイケメンクルーが浮き輪で引っ張ってくれます。
群れの中には親子やカップルもいて赤ちゃんイルカが本当に近くまできてくれてました。

小一時間ほど楽しんだら、今度はシュノーケリングポイントまで船で移動です。
場所名を忘れてしまいましたが、こちらの海も本当にキレイで、ずっと潜っていたいぐらいでした。

そしてランチタイムのチーズバーガーＩｎパラダイス☆
キャプテンパパさん手作りです。
こんなに笑ったの久しぶりだなあとしみじみしながら頂きました。

食後のフラダンスタイムは、初めてでも楽しんだもん勝ちです！！
踊りまくって笑っているうちにもう港に着いていました。

当日は本当にあっという間です。
防水のカメラは持ってきたほうがいいです。
船にトイレはついてます☆
五月末でもウエットスーツはレンタルしたほうがいいです。
（海から上がった後が寒いです）
帰りの港で水着から服に着替えれます。

またリピートしたいと思わせてくれる数少ないツアーのひとつだと思います。

ユリコ学長はじめ、クルーの皆様！
ステキなひとときを本当にありがとうございました！！！！

This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I participated in a dolphin tour for the first time! I wish I had joined the tour earlier! It was a tour packed with activities! Swimming with dolphins, turtles, and fish, enjoying kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, the music on the boat, and the friendly and kind staff... everything was satisfying!

ハワイ５回目で初めてイルカツアーに参加しました！！
もっと早くツアーに参加していればよかった！っと思うほど
内容盛り沢山のツアーでした♪♪
イルカ、亀、魚と泳げたこと、カヤックやスタンドアップボードで楽しめたこと、船の上の音楽、優しくて親切なスタッフの皆さま・・全部が満足です☆☆

I was able to see a lot of dolphins. At first, I thought it would be nice to see even just a few, but I ended up encountering a huge pod of dolphins. They came just a few meters from the boat and jumped around, showing their playful spirit. I also enjoyed snorkeling. Coincidentally, it had rained a lot the day before, and the water was murky, so I could only spot the dolphins from underwater once, but I was thrilled to see them many times from the boat. Just cruising was a wonderful experience.

The activities after returning, like the hula lesson, were also fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii. Next time, I want to see the dolphins from underwater!

たくさんのイルカに会えました。最初はちょっとでも見れたらいいかな、ぐらいにしか思っていなかったのですが、すごくたくさんのイルカの群れに会うことができました。ボートの数メートル先にきてくれたり、ジャンプしてくれたりと、サービス精神旺盛のイルカたちでしたシュノーケルも楽しめました。たまたま、前の日に雨がたくさん降り水が濁っていて、海の中からイルカを確認することは１度しかできなかったけど、船の上からは何度も何度も見えて嬉しかったです。クルーズするだけでも気持ちが良かったです。
帰ってきてからのアクティビティ・フラレッスンも楽しかったです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいと思います。次こそは海の中からイルカを見たいです！！

During our honeymoon in Hawaii, we wanted to have memorable experiences. Since we both love the ocean, we were interested in a tour where we could encounter wild dolphins and decided to participate. On the day of the tour, we were worried about oversleeping since it was an early morning, but knowing we could enjoy Leonard's malasadas helped us arrive at the meeting point on time. Since we hadn't eaten anything before, the malasadas were especially delicious. Along the way, we enjoyed seeing the hospital where President Obama was born and the luxurious home of former sumo wrestler Konishiki, making the journey fun. Although it was windy, the weather was nice, and we were greeted by many dolphins, which we had been eagerly anticipating. I was concerned because my wife is prone to seasickness, but it was great that we could snorkel at a point very close to the beach without going far offshore. Additionally, the staff took care of those who were not confident in their swimming abilities, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We were able to see the dolphins up close, and hearing their calls was incredibly moving. After the dolphins, we also saw a large turtle and had the chance to try paddle surfing, making for a packed and enjoyable time. It was a fulfilling experience that created wonderful memories. Thank you for everything!

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで、思い出になる体験がしたいと思っていました。二人とも海が好きだったので、野生のイルカに出会えるツアーに興味を持ち、参加しました。当日は朝が早く、寝坊しないか心配でしたが、レナーズのマラサダをいただけるということもあり、時間通りに集合場所へ向かうことができました。何も食べないで行ったので、お目当てのマラサダもとても美味しく感じました。道中、オバマ大統領が産まれた病院や小錦さんの豪邸を見ることができたりと、移動中も楽しかったです。風が強かったものの、天気は良く、念願のイルカさんがたくさんお出迎えしてくれていました。妻が船酔いしやすいので心配でしたが、沖合いまで行かずに、ビーチからすぐ近くのポイントでシュノーケリングできたのがよかったです。それにスタッフのみなさんが、泳ぎに自信のない人へのケアをしてくれていて、安心して楽しむことができました。想像以上に近い距離でイルカを見ることができ、イルカの鳴き声も聞くことができたのは、大変感動的でした。イルカの後は大きなカメも見ることができたり、パドルサーフィンもできたりと盛りだくさんの内容で、充実した楽しいひとときを過ごすことができ、いい思い出になりました。いろいろとありがとうございました。

The food and entertainment was great.

I went on June 3rd when it was sunny. They picked us up at the meeting point with a large bus, and the local staff provided kind and thorough explanations. The bus takes about 50 minutes to arrive. The thrilling water slide here is the best; even adults can enjoy it fully. I signed up for the lunch plan, but I recommend not having high expectations. There are only beef, chicken, salad, rice, and two types of fruit, so I wish there were more variety. The bodyboarding lesson is quite fun, but if you get too excited, it can be really tiring. There’s a hot jacuzzi, which feels great when your body gets cold. I thought the 2:45 PM gathering time was short, but I was able to enjoy each attraction more than twice, which was enough fun.

6月3日晴れに行ってきました。待ち合わせ場所に大型バスでお迎えにきてくれ、現地のスタッフが親切丁寧に説明してくれます。バスは約５０分で到着します。ここの絶叫ウォータースライダーはサイコーです、大人でも十分に楽しめます。ランチ付プランを申し込んだのですが、あんまり期待しない方がいいです、牛肉、鶏肉、サラダ、ご飯、フルーツ2種類しかないですので、もう少し種類がほしいところです。ボディボードレッスンは結構面白いのですが、はしゃぎ過ぎるととメッチャ疲れます。熱いジャクジーがあるので、体が冷えたとき入ると気持ち良いです。2時45分集合で、時間が短いと思いましたが、各アトラクション2回以上回れて十分楽しめました。

On Thursday, June 3, 2010, it was sunny. The large bus arrived at the pickup location five minutes early, and a local staff member who spoke Japanese explained the schedule for the day. Since I had signed up for the deluxe plan, there was unlimited juice (4 or 5 types of Pepsi) and lunch included. The only cost was a small locker fee of $12 (with a $5 refund upon returning the receipt and locker key), which wasn't particularly necessary. However, the lunch consisted of beef, chicken, salad, potatoes, white rice, and fruit, so don't expect too much. The main attractions were incredibly enjoyable. I was able to ride all the attractions more than twice without much waiting, but it was a bit disappointing that some attractions, like Shaka and the one next to it, closed at certain times. Still, these are interesting attractions not found in Japan, and I recommend them for couples and families.

2010年6月3日木曜日晴れ、ピックアップ場所には5分前に大型バスが到着、日本語の出来る現地スタッフが、これからのスケジュールを説明してくれます。デラックスプランを申し込んでいたので、ジュース飲み放題（ペプシ系4、5種類）とランチ付きで、お金は小ロッカー代＄１２（レシートとロッカーキー返却で＄５返却）で特には要りませんが、ランチは牛肉、チキン、サラダ、ポテト、白ご飯、フルーツだけで大したことはないので、期待しないように。本題のアトラクションは最高に楽しめました。そんなに待たずに乗ることが出来るので、すべてのアトラクションを2回以上楽しむことができたのですが、時間によってシャカやその隣のアトラクションがクローズになったりしたのが、ちょっと残念でしたが、日本にはない面白いアトラクションで、カップル、家族連れにおすすめです。

I participated in the morning tour. I was amazed by the solitary, pure white sandbar in the middle of the beautiful sea. It was surprisingly easy to see the sandbar so clearly. However, walking on it was a bit painful... But the stunning scenery was mesmerizing.

I also got to see sea turtles, which was a fantastic experience.

The staff were really great, and I had a lot of fun.

I highly recommend it!!

午前のツアーに参加しました。
きれいな海の真ん中にポツンと真っ白なサンドバーに感動。
出ていないのが不思議なくらいきれいにサンドバーを見ることが出来ました。
ただ、歩くとちょっと痛い…。
でも、きれいな景色にうっとりです。

ウミガメも見ることが出来て大満喫でした。

スタッフもとてもイイの方たちで、とても楽しかったです。

おすすめです！！

We went on both the sunset cocktail cruise and the afternoon snorkel sail for our honeymoon. Both activities were so much fun. Jason and his team were friendly. The food was delicious. The boat was clean. We were quite intimidated going on the snorkel sail at first, because we both can't swim very well. The crew was very accommodating. We had so much fun!!! We will definitely be back.

The entire experience was very nice. It's great! A good trip for anyone. We could have just stayed put and enjoyed the ride, but I did get in the water. They helped me relax and enjoy it. The crew was very helpful. We only had 8 people making it more personal. I have no idea how many they usually have. There is plenty of room to walk around and do your own thing.
