Oahu
Amazing experience! Very easy to watch turtles and swim with them!
The shuttle service was smooth, and the crew members were foreigners who entertained us with their broken Japanese and good vibes.
Sailing while enjoying the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head was truly refreshing and amazing.
If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this!
送迎もスムーズで
クルーの方も外人さんでしたが片言の日本語で
ノリも良く楽しませてもらえました
ワイキキの街並みやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらのセーリングは本当に気持ちがよくて最高でした
またハワイに行けたら絶対にやりたいです!
I signed up for the 11 AM start. They came to pick me up around 9 AM in Waikiki. It was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member with us from pick-up to drop-off. The weather wasn't great, but we encountered a sea turtle right at the start. As soon as we began snorkeling, we were able to see a pod of dolphins. It felt like we were floating on the surface while watching the dolphins swim below us.
After about 30 minutes, we got back on the boat and enjoyed hamburgers while watching the staff perform hula. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, so it was neither good nor bad. Although it was mentioned that there would be SUP and a slide, there were very few of them, so we couldn't enjoy them much.
The staff were all young and seemed to be having fun joking around the whole time.
I signed up to receive photos on a USB for $55. There were quite a few photos, but only a few of them had us looking decent. Most were pictures of strangers who were on the same boat. I wasn't sure what to do with those. Additionally, there were many photos of dolphins and sea turtles that definitely weren't from today, which was disappointing. I didn't need those kinds of photos.
11時スタートに申込み
9時頃にワイキキにお迎えに来てくれます。
お迎えから送りまで日本人のスタッフさんがついていてくれるので安心感がありました。
天気はあまり良くなかったのですがスタートしていきなりウミガメに遭遇~
シュノーケリング始めるとすぐにイルカの群れを見ることができました。
海上にプカプカ浮きながら海中を泳いでるイルカを眺める感じでした。
30分弱で船上にあがりスタッフのフラダンスを眺めながらハンバーガーをいただきました
ランチには期待してなかったので可もなく不可もなくといったところです。
SUPや滑り台もあると記載されてましたが数が少なく
なかなか楽しめませんでした
スタッフのみなさんお若くて
終始自分たちがふざけあって楽しんでらっしゃる
写真をUSBでもらえるので申込みましたが(55$)
写真のボリュームはありましたが、自分たちがまともにうつってる写真は数枚
同船してた知らない人の写真ばかり
そんなのもらってもどうしてよいものか
また、絶対に今日の写真ではないイルカやウミガメの写真が盛りだくさん使われていたのにはガッカリ
こんな写真ならいらなかったです
Thank you for your message, Pazu. I apologize that you were not 100% satisfied despite participating in the tour. I also appreciate the valuable feedback. I will share it internally and work on improvements. We are particularly committed to enhancing the training of the boat crew and photographers. The USB contains past best shots as a service. The photos you attached are from those best shots. I sincerely apologize once again.
pazuさま、書き込みありがとうございます。せっかくツアーにご参加いただいたのに、100%ご満足いただけず、申し訳ありませんでした。また貴重な情報ありがとうございます。社内でシェアさせていただき、改善していきたいと思います。特にボートクルーとカメラマンの教育には力を入れていく所存でございます。USBの中には、サービスとして、過去のベストショットを入れております。添付いただきましたお写真は、ベストショットからのお写真になります。本当に申し訳ありませんでした。重ねてお詫び申し上げます。
Swimming with dolphins was amazing, and I also got to sing, dance hula, and experience the local culture! This tour sparked my interest in Hawaii and local culture, making me want to go back! The crew was very enthusiastic about entertaining the guests, which made me really happy!
Please note that banana-patterned swimsuits are prohibited, and you're not allowed to eat or bring bananas in the morning, so be careful! There were many newlyweds on the tour!
イルカと一緒に泳ぐことはもちろん、歌を歌ったり、フラを踊ったり、ロコの文化を感じることができました!ハワイやロコ文化に興味が湧いてきて、また行きたい!と思わせてくれるツアーでした♩
また、クルーもツアー客を楽しませる熱意が強くて、気持ちがすごく嬉しかったです!
バナナ柄の水着は禁止で、朝にバナナを食べて行ったり、持って行くことも禁止なので気をつけてくださいねー!
新婚さんが多かったです!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are honored if our tour helped you love Hawaii even more. Please come back to meet the wild dolphins and turtles again! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! 弊社のツアーを通じて、ハワイをより好きになっていただけたのであれば光栄です。また是非、野生のイルカやカメに会いに来てくださいね! MAHALO!!
I signed up for a height of 150m. At first, I was worried about my fear of heights, but once I took off, I felt completely at ease and, on the contrary, it was fun. The captain and the assistant, who was also in charge of the camera, were friendly, and I made great memories.
高さ150mで申し込みしました、最初は高さの恐怖があり心配でしたが飛んでしまうと全く不安なく、逆に楽しかったです。船長さん、助手件カメラ担当の方も気さくな方で良い思い出ができました。
I made a reservation for a low tide day during my stay in Hawaii. The weather was great, and it was really beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious because they grilled the meat right there, and they were huge! I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat.
It seemed that the visibility for snorkeling wasn't great that day, so we could only see around the coral reefs, but they give you bread to feed the fish, which was fun. It was a very enjoyable tour.
The bus ride was extremely cold due to the air conditioning, so it's essential to prepare for the cold.
ハワイ滞在中での干潮の日に予約しました。
天気にも恵まれすごく綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーもお肉をその場で焼いてくれるのでとっても美味しかったです。しかも大きい!
海亀も船の上からですが見れました。
シュノーケリングはその日は透明度が悪かったようで珊瑚礁周りしか見えませんが、餌用にパンをくれるので魚が寄ってきたり楽しめます。
とても楽しいツアーでした。
道中のバスはエアコンがとにかく寒いので、寒さ対策は必須です。
It was a great tour! I loved that we got enough time to spend in the places we stopped at. Also, Sam was our tour guide and he was very nice and gave us fun and important information about Kauai. Great experience. My favorite stops were the Waimea Canyon (breathtaking!) and the super fun Wailua River tour.
The brothers were really cheerful, and even though I didn't understand the words at all (laughs), they interacted with me a lot and it was so much fun! They took a lot of photos with a DSLR camera (for a fee), and everyone had the best smiles! The weather was nice, so the scenery was amazing! I highly recommend it!
お兄さん達がすごく愉快で、言葉は全然分かりませんでしたが(笑)、いっぱい絡んでくれてとっても楽しかったです!一眼レフで写真もいっぱい撮ってくれて(有料)皆最高の笑顔でした\(^o^)/晴れていたので景色も最高!おススメです!
Just getting back from Hawaii and had to rate this tour to help all of you out there, like myself, who maybe confused on which tour to take when u r in Hawaii. I definitely would recommend you this one with my experience with Larry as our tour guide. He was very informative as well as funny to keep the fun alive atmosphere (especially in the early morning). It included a great city tour visiting the famous palace too and then a chance to visit Pearl Harbor and The Arizona Memorial. The tour was not too long either so it’s perfect for us since we have two middle school aged kids and can plan to do something else later in the day. Unfortunately we did not get to step onto the Arizona Memorial itself due to a crack being repaired currently but it ensured a time slot for us to visit the site after watching a 20 min video clip on the event. Overall, excellent experience and great tour! Thanks Larry!
There were staff members who spoke Japanese, creating a very friendly environment. The instructor only spoke English, but they guided us in a way that was easy to understand. If you go to the first session in the morning, you'll make it in time for the 12:30 show, and you'll be able to return to Waikiki in the afternoon, making good use of your time.
日本語を話せる受付の方もいて、とても親切な環境でした。インストラクターは英語のみですが分かりやすく進行してくれます。朝一の回に行くと、1230のショーにも間に合い、午後にはワイキキに戻れて時間も有効につかえますよ。
It was very empty in the park, probably because it was May. The slides that would likely have a wait time of over an hour in Japan had almost no wait at all. Every attraction was really fun!
I noticed a few small Japanese children crying because they were scared of the slides. There are quite a few slides that even adults might find scary.
The small lockers cost $13. Basically, I only stored my wallet, phone, and valuables in the locker, while leaving towels and other items at a designated spot by the poolside. If you're worried about theft, I recommend putting everything in a larger locker. The lockers use a PIN code, so you can access them freely.
5月だったからかパーク内はとても空いていました。
日本だったら一時間以上待ちそうなスライダーも待ち時間はほとんど無し。
どのアトラクションも凄く楽しいです!
日本人の小さな子供はスライダーが怖くて泣いている子をちらほら見かけました。
結構大人でも怖いと思うスライダーが多いです。
ロッカーは小さいもので13ドル。
基本的にはロッカーには財布、携帯、貴重品のみ預け、タオルなどはプールサイドに定位置を決め放置しました。
盗難が怖い方は大きめのロッカーにすべて入れるのをおすすめします。
ロッカーは暗証番号性なので出し入れ自由です。
It's a really fun activity. Before experiencing it, I was worried that it might be scary, but it wasn't scary at all. The view of Hawaii from above was amazing, and it felt wonderful to feel the wind. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to experience this again. I also highly recommend the SD card for the photos I bought for $30!
とっても楽しいアクティビティです。体験する前は、怖いのかなーって心配していましたが、全く怖くなんかなかったし、上から眺めるハワイの風景は素晴らしく、風を受けて最高に気持ちよかったです。又ハワイに来た時は、ぜひこちらで体験したいと思います。30で買った写真のSDカードもぜひおススメです!
Taking my mothers on the 1000-foot course! We challenged ourselves to 150m!!
While others were younger and went for the 800-foot course, I was worried about how it would go, but my mothers seemed to have an amazing time. The view from 1000 feet was absolutely incredible, and I believe the panoramic view from Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head is something you'll cherish for a lifetime!
As for my daughter and me, while we enjoyed ourselves, my husband, who has a fear of heights, was quite tense. When I asked him how it was, he said it was really scary, but it was still a great experience! We were in the middle of the group, so we managed to avoid getting seasick, but it seems that those who jumped first and last had a tough time with seasickness. I recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand! It was quite bumpy and challenging! Also, you won't get wet at all, so make sure to wear makeup and bring sunglasses! The sunlight is strong and can be quite painful!
母達を連れて1000フィートコース!150mへチャレンジ!!
他の方は若いのに800フィートコースでしたので、どーなることやらと心配しましたが、母達はめちゃくちゃ楽しかったみたいで、1000フィートから見る景色は、それはそれはすごくて、パールハーバーからダイアモンドヘッドまでパノラマの景色は一生モノだと思います!
娘の私たちは、楽しさもですが、夫は高所恐怖症な為、ジーーットしてたので、どーだった?って聞いたら、めちゃくちゃ怖かったーーっと言っていましたが、それでもいい体験で最高でした!私たちは真ん中のメンバーだったので、酔うことなく過ごせましたが、最初に飛んだ人達と最後の人達は船酔いが半端なかったみたいなので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいと思います!かなり揺れてかなり大変です!あと、全く濡れる事はないので、顔はしっかり化粧して、サングラスは持っていった方が良いと思います!日差しが強くて痛いくらいです!
I experienced it at 120 meters. It was scarier than I expected, but the weather was great and the scenery was really beautiful. I'm not sure if we were actually in the air for 8 minutes; it might have felt short because it was so much fun.
Including us, there were 5 groups, and we returned to the port after an hour, so participating in the morning allowed us to make good use of the rest of the day.
Especially before heading out to sea, the boat swayed a lot, so if you're feeling even a little anxious, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.
120mで体験しました。思っていたよりも怖かったですが、天気にも恵まれて景色はすごく綺麗。実際に8分空にいたのかは疑問?楽しかったので短くて感じたのかもしれませんが。
私たちも含めて5グループで、一時間後には港に帰ってきたので、朝参加するとその後の時間も有効活用できたのでよかったです。
特に沖に出るまでは船がすごくゆれるので、少しでも不安な方は酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれないです。
Awesome time and great staff! Will have to do this one again next time.
Everyone was friend and outgoing! Great staff!!! (:
I participated with my daughters, who are in the fourth grade of elementary school and the third year of middle school. They both said it was the most fun they had in Hawaii. We want to participate again!
小学4年生と中学3年生の娘たちと参加。二人ともハワイで一番楽しかったと喜んでました。また参加したいです。
Dan and his wife were wonderful! They guided us for the entire snorkeling trip and Dan even gave us tips about other places when we traveled to and from the beach. Highly recommended!
Thanks guys, you did great, hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
Good time had by all. Fun Supportive and Helpful Crew
Even better than I thought it would be! This was my first time snorkelling and I was a bit nervous, but our guides were very patient and helpful. They made me feel totally comfortable about the whole process. We saw so many fish, including whole schools of fish swimming just centimetres away from us, and even a sea turtle.
Hi Helen, glad you had a good time. You did great! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
A Japanese instructor guided us, making it reassuring even for those who struggle with English. On the day of the trip, the waves were rough, and many people got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand.
日本人インストラクターがガイドをしてくれ、英語が苦手な人でも安心。
当日は波が激しかったので、船酔い者続出だったけど、酔いやすい人はよいどめのんでったほうがいいよ。
Aloha Mr./Ms. Maaa,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University.
We hope you enjoyed your half day with Professor Dolphin in the beautiful nature of West Oahu. Our staff and crew are looking forward to the day we can meet you again.

My son (7 years old), who can't swim, was thrilled to chase dolphins and see green sea turtles using a life jacket and snorkel. He was able to see dolphins swimming right under his feet, and those rare sights are etched in his memory. He is now saying he wants to participate in Manta University on the Big Island to meet manta rays next time.
Participating in Dolphin University and experiencing the friendliness of the captain and staff made for a great family outing, and we are very satisfied.
泳げない息子(7歳)が、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルを使ってイルカを追いかけたり、アオウミガメを見たりで、大喜びをしていました。また、泳いでいるイルカが足の下を泳ぐのを見れたり、中々、出会えない光景が目に焼き付いています。息子は今度、ハワイ島でマンタ大学にも参加してマンタに会いたい言っています。
イルカ大学に参加して、フレンドリーな船長とスタッフの明るさに触れて、いい家族サービスが出来て満足です。
Aloha m.atsumi,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University.
We are very pleased to hear that your child enjoyed it. Next time, please bring your family to the manta tour on the Big Island!
We look forward to seeing you!!

From a beach about an hour by bus from Waikiki, we took a boat to the dolphin habitat. Since it was early in the morning, I boarded the boat still feeling sleepy, but the nice weather and sea breeze woke me up completely. The captain sensed the atmosphere where dolphins might be and stopped the boat. In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the dolphin habitat, put on our snorkels and fins, and jumped into the sea.
While swimming in the ocean, I had the fun experience of seeing dolphins from various angles! I wonder how the captain can easily tell where the dolphins are. I'm curious...
I was fortunate enough to have three opportunities to see them! For those who have fewer chances, the instructors guide you and create opportunities to see the dolphins, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine!
Additionally, I was able to see dolphins swimming in groups and alongside the boat, which gave a lively and free impression, quite different from what you see in an aquarium. It's important to maintain an environment where wild dolphins can thrive.
At Dolphin University, after dolphin watching, we had free time to enjoy turtles, tropical fish, stand-up paddleboarding, and slides! The staff kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun experience for families, couples, and friends alike.
Thanks to this experience, I was exhausted and fell asleep on the bus ride back. I graduated safely!
ワイキキからバスで1時間弱の海岸から、船でイルカ生息域まで行きました。
朝早かったので、眠気眼のまま船に乗り込みましたが、良い天気と海の風でスッキリ目が覚めました。
イルカの居そうな雰囲気を船長が察知し船を停留。10分足らずでイルカ生息域までついて、シュノーケルとフィンを身に着け、いざ海へ。
海の中で泳ぎながら、さまざまな角度からイルカを見る体験をすることができ、楽しかったです!
どうやってイルカが居そうな場所が簡単にわかるんだろう。気になる。。。
私は幸運にも3回も機会に恵まれました♪機会が少ない人は、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれて、見る機会を作ってくれるので、泳ぎが得意でない方でも大丈夫!
また、イルカが群れになって泳いでいく姿や、船とともに泳ぐ姿なども見ることができ、水族館で見る姿とは異なり、自由で快活な印象を受けました~。野生のイルカが生息できる環境維持って、必要ですね(^^♪
イルカ大学では、イルカウォッチングの後、自由時間があるため、亀や熱帯魚たち、SUPやスライダーなども楽しむことができました!
スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれるので、家族連れやカップル、友人同士など様々なお客さんがいた中、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。
おかげさまで、帰りのバスでは、疲れて爆睡でしたzzz
無事大学卒業!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed everything from dolphin swims to snorkeling and marine sports! If you have the opportunity, please come join our tours again! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! イルカスイムからシュノーケル、マリンスポーツまで、全体を通してご満喫いただけたようで何よりです! また機会がございましたら弊社ツアーに遊びにいらしてくださいね!MAHALO!!
Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.
The staff spoke only broken Japanese, but most of the communication was in English, and they were friendly with a sense of humor. It felt refreshing to be at a place that was more expensive than the hotel I stayed at in Waikiki.
スタッフの方は片言の日本語を話すだけで
殆どが英語でしたがフレンドリーでジョークもあり。
ワイキキの宿泊ホテルより高く上がり気分爽快でした。
It is very windy on the boat, so a jacket is essential. I was quite disappointed that I couldn't encounter any whales, but in the end, I was able to see a whale, so it was really great!
船の上はとても風が強いので、上着は必須です。
なかなかクジラに遭遇できず、残念に思っていたが、最後の最後にクジラを見ることが出来たのでとてもよかったです!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you were able to observe whales at the end. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

The weather was nice, and it felt great. I could see a beautiful view over the blue sea. It felt wonderful to soar high in the sky! I definitely want to do it again.
天気が良くてとてもきもちがよく青い海の上でとても綺麗な景色がみえました。
空高く上がりとてもきもちよかったです!
ぜひまたやりたいです。
I made a last-minute reservation just one day ago and went! It was fun! The round-trip shuttle service to and from the hotel was great!
1日前に直前予約して、いきました!
たのしかったです!ホテルまでの行き帰り送迎もあるし、よかったです!
I would highly recommend doing this adventure! This was my second time but my husband, and 2 kids (ages 10 & 7) first time. Easy to find the location and the people were very friendly. It was easy to do and once you catch the wave, it's so exhilarating. It is very cool to see Waikiki Beach from the ocean too! Such a great memory to share with my family.
Aloha, Andrea:
Mahalo for taking time to write a generous 5 star review! We are glad that your family had a wonderful time. Waikiki Beach is the only place in the world that you can experience Outrigger Canoe Surfing, and Outrigger Canoe is a very significant transportation that influenced Hawaiian culture. Outrigger Canoe paddling is also the only Hawaii State sport. We hope that more people will have a chance to experience this cultural activity, and that you will also return again soon.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!
今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ!!ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高!!マンタも見れました!!
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて(160センチの私で腰くらい)びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります!クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます!のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした!!
