All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

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。
次回も　是非参加したいです。
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.

~Margaret N. from GA

The crew was wonderful, very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was my most favorite thing about our entire Oahu trip! We loved being able to see the spinner dolphins jump. There were so many fish! My husband loved helping to put up the 450 pound sail. Not a day we will soon forget! We didn't want to get off the boat at the end of our time... we'll definitely be back.

We took the Pearl Harbor tour with the Missouri. Sandy was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Very nice, fun and entertaining, plus knowledgeable. The bus was really big and comfortable (not like most of the yucky shuttles) and Sandy drove around Waikiki effortlessly. Amazing!

The Arizona Memorial is a must-see, although it is not exciting so kids are easily bored. On the other hand, the tour of the Missouri is great for all ages. We did the audio tour with the iTouch device, and my 13-year-old thought it was like an adventure to find the next location. We were able to explore and listen at our convenience.

The Punchbowl was closed for Memorial Day, but Sandy took us to Pal"i lookout, which was a beautiful sight and the drive up was very informational too.

Overall, a terrific tour that we are so glad we did and the price was VERY affordable. Many of the tours I saw were way over-priced, as I cannot see what they could offer over the tour we took.

We were much

It was disappointing that the sea was rough and I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, I had a great time afterwards watching P-chan's hula dance and other fun activities. Next time, I want to swim with the dolphins!

海が荒れてイルカと一緒に泳げなくて残念だった。
でも、その後のピーちゃんのフラダンス等楽しい時間をすごせました。
今度はイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいな。

The weather was great, the beautiful sea was visible, and I was able to swim, so it was GOOD. The staff also helped create a fun atmosphere. The BBQ was delicious.

However, if I participate next time, I would like to request the following improvements.

For the program that involves walking down to the beach, please provide marine shoes. A friend cut their foot. (After that, we couldn't enjoy free sightseeing or sports.) I believe entering the sea barefoot is unsafe. I participated with marine shoes (I was the only one).

During snorkeling, there were no fins available for rent. Without fins, it's difficult to move as desired, so it wasn't enjoyable. Also, since everyone was wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive and were just floating.

If these two points could be improved, I would like to participate again next time. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.

P.S. Everyone participating was very nice. Thank you. Thank you to the staff.

天気に恵まれ、美しい海が見れ、泳げましたので、ＧＯＯＤでした。スタッフさんも、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれて楽しめました。ＢＢＱもおいしかったです。
但し　次回参加するとしたら、次の改善をお願いします。
歩いて、ビーチに下りるプログラムでは、マリンシューズの用意をお願いします。友人が足を切りました。（以降自由な観光、スポーツが出来ませんでした）基本的に素足で海に入ることは、安全上ＮＧと考えています。自分はマリンシューズを持って参加しました。（唯一私のみ）
スノーケリングの時、足ひれの貸し出しがありませんでした。足ひれがないと、思うように進みませんので楽しめません。且全員ライフジャケット着用なので、もぐりが出来なく、ただ浮かんでいる状態です。
2点改善していただければ、次回も参加したいと思います。
海がめは、残念ながら見れませんでした。
追伸　参加されている方は、皆さんとても良い感じの方でした。ありがとうございました。
スタッフさんありがとうございました。

Until now, playing with dolphins in the pool was the norm, but my sister's comment, "I want to meet wild dolphins," led us to search for a dolphin encounter tour, and that's how we found Dolphin University. The reason we chose it was because of the appeal of Leonard's and hamburgers. But the entire tour exceeded our expectations! I was worried about seasickness, but it was so much fun that I didn't have time to feel sick. When we spotted the dolphins, I forgot the fear of jumping in and peered into the clear sea. I was truly moved to see the dolphins swimming happily. I wanted to get closer, but my swimming skills weren't good enough to do so... However, I was thrilled to meet a turtle. It was my first time seeing a turtle up close like that. I enjoyed standing on the canoe (I forgot the name), which was quite challenging, but I was having so much fun that when I was resting on the boat, the president recommended I try kayaking as well. I was a bit reluctant, saying it sounded like a hassle, but since I was already there, I decided to go out to sea, and I was so happy when a turtle approached me! If I hadn't gone kayaking, I wouldn't have been able to see the turtle's face up close, and I later thanked the president for that☆

At one point, my camera broke, and I was worried about what to do, but I was glad I could buy a DVD later. I'm also happy I got a CDR for additional copies! Next time, I want to participate with all my relatives! I look forward to seeing you again then.

I went to the pancake shop that the president recommended! It was the best I've ever had! I'm so grateful for everything you've done for us☆ I look forward to seeing you again (^.^)/~~~

今まではプールにいるイルカと遊ぶのが定番でしたが、妹が「野生にルカに会いたい」という一言から、イルカに会えるツアーを探して出会ったのがイルカ大学。選んだ理由はレナーズとハンバーガーという食べ物につられて…といったところでした。でもツアー全体は期待以上！船酔いが心配でしたが楽しすぎて酔う暇なんてありませんでした。イルカを発見して、興奮して飛び込む怖さも忘れて透明な海をのぞきこみました。楽しそうに泳ぐイルカを見れて本当に感激しました。もっと近くに寄りたかったけど泳ぎのレベルが低くてできず…。でもカメに会えたのも感激。あんなに近くでカメさんを見たのは初めてでした。立って乗るカヌー（名前忘れた）を楽しんで結構難しく、それでも楽しみ過ぎて船で休んでいたら、カヤックにも乗っておいでよ、と学長さんからお勧めされました。もうめんどくさかったのでいいです、、って言ってたけど、せっかくだからと乗って海に出たら、カメさんが近づいてきてくれてうれしかった♪カヤックに乗ってなかったらあんなに近くでカメの顔を見れなかったし、後から学長さんに本当に感謝しました☆
途中でカメラが壊れちゃってどうしようかと思ったけど、あとからDVDを買えて良かったです。焼き増しができるCDRも付けて買ってよかった！！
今度は親族一同で参加したいです！！
その時はまたよろしくお願いしまーす。
学長さんに教えていただいたパンケーキやさん行ってきました！！今まで食べた中で一番おいしかったです！！
何もかもお世話になり、感謝感激です☆
またお会いできるの楽しみにしてます(^.^)/~~~

The weather was nice, and the heavenly sea was very beautiful. The staff was also very fun and attentive. The sandbar had water up to about my knees, but it was really beautiful, and the good weather was a plus. I saw about four turtles. During snorkeling, the first time there were too many people, so I couldn't see well, but those who wanted to could go a second time, and since there were few participants, I was able to enjoy it quite freely. There were fewer fish, but it was enjoyable. The BBQ was just delicious.

天気も良く、天国の海はとってもきれいでした。
スタッフもとても楽しく、すごく気遣ってくれる方たちでした。
サンドバーは膝下くらいまで水がある程度でしたが、本当にきれいでしたし、天気も良くて良かったです。亀も4頭くらい見れました。
シュノーケリングでは1回目は人が多くてあまりよく見れませんでしたが、希望者は2回目に行けて、希望者が少なかったので、割と自由に楽しめました。魚は少なめですが、楽しめます。
BBQは普通においしかったです。

On May 21, under a cloudy sky, my mother and I participated in the event. We gathered early in the morning and left Waikiki, but before that, we stopped by Leonard's to enjoy some delicious malasadas! It's located quite far away, so I was really happy to be able to have Leonard's malasadas in Waikiki! The taste was, of course, delicious, and the price was reasonable too! We had the type that was plain inside, but it was great to experience the crispy and fluffy texture.

Now, we got on the highway and headed west. After passing by Konishiki's mansion, we were almost there! Once we got out of the car, we boarded the boat and set off. We aimed for the area where the dolphins are, swaying on the boat for about 30 to 40 minutes. Since the boat can sway, I think it's better to bring water or something if you tend to get seasick. On the boat, there were explanations about putting on fins and snorkels, as well as safety gear and instructions for jumping into the sea. Since the weather wasn't very good and it was cold, I borrowed a wetsuit. I believe it costs $10 per person to rent. Those who were experienced wore their own wetsuits.

Once we were all set, we finally went into the sea... I could see the dolphins playing even from the boat. We jumped into the water and headed towards the pod of dolphins. Underwater, there were many dolphins swimming and playing together. They would signal us where the dolphins were, so we all headed in that direction. We could hear the dolphins squeaking underwater, and if we could hear that, there must be dolphins nearby. We could see the dolphins mating and playing right up close, and it felt like we were swimming with them. This kind of precious experience might only be possible here. After enjoying it for about an hour, we returned to the boat. From there, we set off again... this time to play with turtles and fish. There were various activities here, such as people snorkeling, riding canoes, paddling on paddleboards, and resting on the boat. After playing with the dolphins, some people got seasick, perhaps because it was cold. I tried the paddleboard, and before I knew it, a turtle was swimming next to me, which was fun!

5月21日、曇り空の中、母と2人で参加をしました。
朝早くから集合してワイキキを抜けますが、
その前にレナ−ズに寄って、
おいしいマラサダをいただきました！
レンタカーがないとなかなか来られない距離のところに
あるので、ワイキキでレナーズのマラサダが食べられて
本当に嬉しかったです！味はもちろん美味しいし！
お値段もお安いし！いただいたのは、
中に何も入っていないタイプだったのですが、
サクサクふわふわ感が味わえてよかったです。

さてハイウェイに乗って、ひたすら西に向かいます。
小錦の豪邸を過ぎると、もうすぐ!
車を降りると、そのまま船に乗り込んで出発です。
30~40分ほど船に揺られながら、
イルカたちがいるところを目指します。
船が揺れるので、船酔いをする方はお水など、
持参されるほうが良いかと思います。
船の上で、フィン（足ひれ）やシュノーケルをつけたり、
救命具の説明や、海に飛び込む際の説明があります。
今回はお天気があまり良くなかったし、寒かったので、
ウェットスーツを借りました。
確か、1人10ドルで借りられます。
慣れている方は、ご自身のウェットスーツを着て参加を
されていました。
準備が整ったところで、いよいよ海に…
イルカたちが遊んでいるのが船の上からでもわかりました。
海に飛び込み、イルカたちの群れを目指します。
海の中ではたくさんのイルカたちが群れをなして遊んで
います。
ここにイルカがいるよ！と教えてくれるので、
みんなでそこに向かう感じでしょうか？
イルカたちがキューキューと鳴いているのが、
海の中でも聞こえますし、
それが聞こえれば、近くにイルカが必ずいるはずです。
イルカの交尾や遊ぶ姿が本当にすぐそこで見ることができ、
本当に一緒に泳いでるようでした。
こんな貴重な体験はここでしかできないかも。
1時間くらい楽しんだ後は、船に戻ります。
そこから、再び船を走らせて…
今度はカメや魚たちと遊びます。
シュノーケルで潜る人、カヌーに乗る人、
パドルボートに乗る人、船の上で休む人、
などここでは様々でした。
イルカと遊んだ後、寒かったからか、
船で酔う人もいましたので。
私はパドルボートに挑戦したのですが、
気付くとカメが隣で泳いでいたり、楽しかっ

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old! We got to see sea turtles, and although the water was a bit deep, we were able to go in and even made a DVD (＾-＾). This became the most fun memory of our trip to Hawaii!

Even though my kids couldn't go snorkeling, they were satisfied watching the pufferfish and stingrays that gathered around the boat! The BBQ was delicious, and my daughter, who usually dislikes meat, was devouring it!

My shy and timid daughter seems to have the best memories from this experience (＾＾). Joe?! He was really funny and high-energy♪ I saw him later in Waikiki and tried to call out to him, but he didn't notice me... (Ｔ▽Ｔ). He was running towards someone else (laughs). I absolutely want to participate again!

４歳１歳の子供と一緒に参加させてもらいました！
海がめも見れたし少し深かったですが海にも入れＤＶＤを作ってもらいました（＾-＾）
今回のハワイで１番楽しい思い出になりました！

子供はｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞはできないものの船に集まってきたフグとエイを見れ満足してました！ＢＢＱもおいしくって肉ｷﾗｲの娘がお肉をﾊﾞｸﾊﾞｸ食べてました！

人見知りでﾋﾞﾋﾞﾘの娘も１番思い出に残ってるようです（＾＾）
ｼﾞｮｰさん？！
ﾊｲﾃﾝｼｮﾝで本当のおもしろかったです♪
あのあとﾜｲｷｷで見かけたので呼んだのですが気づかれず・・・（Ｔ▽Ｔ）
誰かに向かい走ってました(笑）
絶対に絶対にまた参加したいです！

It was a very fulfilling experience! The staff were incredibly kind, cheerful, and attentive. The BBQ was delicious, and seeing the sea turtles made it the best day ever! I was also glad to finally try Leonard's malasadas. My husband, who joined me, had a great time and is already excited to participate in this tour again when we go to Hawaii next time! The only downside was that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling, but they taught us how to snorkel carefully, so I felt safe diving in! Thank you for everything!

とっても充実した内容でした♪
スタッフの皆さんはとても親切＆愉快＆気配りの行き届いた方々で、ＢＢＱも美味しく、海亀も見れて最高の一日になりました☆食べたかったレナーズのマサラダも食べれて良かった☆
一緒に参加した主人は、とにかく楽しかった様子で、次回ハワイに行ったときも絶対にこのツアーに参加する！と意気込んでいました☆
唯一、シュノーケリングはあまりお魚が見れませんでしたが、シュノーケルの仕方も丁寧に教えていただき、安心して潜ることができました！
お世話になりました★

I was half excited and half anxious about whether I could really go snorkeling, but the staff were so nice that I felt at ease. Moreover, they were very kind to the children, and it seems they had a great time. It was a valuable experience.

As for the barbecue, my expectations were a bit too high, so it was somewhat disappointing, but I was glad to have something warm to eat. However, it was cramped, making it difficult to go for seconds or leave. It can't be helped...

Thank you very much.

My child sends their regards to Norio.

楽しみ半分、私にも本当にシュノーケリングできるのか不安半分でしたが、なんといってもスタッフがいい人で安心してできました。しかも、子供に対しても非常にやさしくて大変楽しめたようです。貴重な経験でした。

バーベキューは、あまりに期待が大きすぎていまいちでしたが、暖かいものが食べれてよかったです。ただ、狭くておかわりにいったり、帰ったりが大変でした。仕方ありませんが・・・

ありがとうございました。

子供が、のりお君によろしくとのことでした。

Our greeter was waiting for us when we walked off the plane. She was patient as we dug for our camera to take her picture (she was holding our beautiful leis and a sign with our name on it and my husband wanted a photo). She greeted us with a welcome smile and "Aloha" and took us to baggage claim and waited with us until our shuttle arrived. She offered suggestions on what to do and where to go. The leis were gorgeous, however I would recommend getting the less expensive leis as they are also pretty and not so heavy to wear!

This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.
