Oahu
The weather was great that day, and the waves were calm, allowing us to have a wonderful snorkeling experience. They guided us to spots that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, making it a fantastic tour to join! The two guides took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we were able to capture beautiful memories with the sea turtles.
この日は非常にお天気も良く、波も穏やかだったため、楽しいシュノーケリングを体験させていただけました。自分たちだけでは辿り着けなそうなスポットまでしっかり案内してくださり、参加して大正解のツアーでした!
ガイドのお二人もたくさんお写真を撮ってくださり、おかげでウミガメとの素敵な思い出が形に残せました。
Dear Aoki-san, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Dan and I are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. How lucky you were to see sea turtles three times! Among all the tours, ours covers the widest area, which increases your chances of encountering turtles. Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
あおきさん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようでDanも私もとても喜んでいます。3回もウミガメに会えたなんて本当にラッキーな日に当たりましたね!!数あるツアーの中でも私達のツアーが一番広い範囲を泳ぎに行きますので、亀に会える確率も高いのですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
Due to the typhoon, I was worried about the high waves and whether we could go into the sea, but it was a good decision to enter the water and see the dolphins. We also got to see the honu, and it was the best tour ever.
台風の影響で波が高く、海に入れるか心配しましたが、好判断で海に入りイルカを見ることが出来ました。ホヌも観れたし、最高のツアーでした。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University this time. Despite the challenging conditions due to the typhoon, we are really glad that you were able to see Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. Please do come and visit us again when you're in Hawaii! 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。台風で少しハードなコンディションの中、お客様にイルカ先生やカメ教授を見ていただくことが出来本当に良かったです。また是非ハワイにいらした際には遊びにいらしてくださいね!MAHALO!!
素晴らしい体験ができました。期待通りでした。エマは私たちにとても親切なガイドでしたが、私たちは初めての乗馬でした。キアヌはすぐにまた来たいと言っています!ありがとう。
大きなマハロ。
Had great experience as same with expected. Emma is very kind guide to us although we were the first horsebacK riders.
Kianu wants to come back again very soon!!
Thanx

It was amazing in many ways, but the shaking was intense and made me feel nauseous... ⤵️ I definitely recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication. m(_ _)m
色々とすごかったですが、揺れがひどくて酔いました…⤵️
酔いやすい人は必ず酔い止めを飲むことをオススメしますm(_ _)m
I had a great time. There were few people, so I could ride without waiting in line. However, since it was November and there was some wind, I think it would be better to wear a rash guard or something instead of just a swimsuit to avoid feeling cold and to enjoy playing more. Even when the weather is nice, it can feel a bit chilly due to the wind.
凄く楽しかったです。人も少なく並ばずに乗れました。ただ11月で風があったので、水着だけよりもラッシュガードとか着た方が寒さを感じず楽しく遊べると思います。天気が良くても風で少し寒く感じる時もあります。
I visited on a weekday in November. It takes just over 30 minutes by bus from the hotel. Since I arrived before opening time, I was able to enjoy being the first one in. There were Japanese staff at the park who provided a brief explanation before entry. On this day, the lazy river was under maintenance, so normally paid attractions were free.
There are large and small paid lockers available. You pay at the machine in front and use the locker corresponding to the displayed number. There are no keys; you unlock it with a four-digit PIN. I think the small one was $13 and the large one was $18. The small locker is extremely small, but if you squeeze, you can fit the luggage of two adults. Once you pay, you can open and close it as many times as you want.
It was a bit chilly due to the wind, but the sun was strong, so I played in my swimsuit and a cover-up. There were no crowds at all, and I was able to enjoy all the attractions without waiting in line. Since there were no lines, I conquered almost all the attractions in about an hour, leaving me with extra time.
Each attraction has its own float, but you have to carry it to the boarding area, which is a bit heavy and tiring.
Since the return bus was at 3:30 PM, I ended up with some free time and decided to take the city bus back before noon. I asked a Japanese staff member at the ticket counter for directions to the bus stop. (Since I was participating in a tour, I informed them that I wouldn't be using the return bus and provided my name.)
The bus stop is about a 15-minute walk away, but it might be a bit dangerous as you walk through a busy area. Additionally, there are several bus stops for different destinations, so it can be a bit challenging to find the one for Waikiki. I took the C bus. It took about an hour to get to Ala Moana.
11月の平日に利用しました。
ホテルからバスに乗り30分ちょっとです。
オープン時間前に到着するので、一番乗りで楽しめます。
パークには日本人のスタッフがいて入場前に簡単に説明があります。
この日は流れるプールがメンテナンス中のため、普段有料のアトラクションが無料になるとのことでした。
有料ロッカーは大と小があります。
手前の機械でお金を払い、表示された番号のロッカーを使います。
鍵はなく、四桁の暗証番号で開錠します。
小は13$、大は18$だったと思います。
小は物凄く小さいですが、押し込めば大人2人分の荷物はなんとか収まります。
一度お金を払えば開閉は何度でも出来ます。
風があり少し寒かったですが、日差しも強いので水着+上着で遊びました。
混雑も全くなく、どのアトラクションも並ばずに楽しめました。
並ばないため、一時間ほどでほとんどのアトラクションを制覇してしまい残り時間に困るほどでした。
アトラクションごとに専用の浮き輪があるのですが、それを乗り場まで運んでいかなければならず、少し重いので疲れます。
迎えのバスが15:30だったので、時間を持て余してしまい昼前に市バスで帰ることにしました。
チケット売り場の日本人の方にバス停を聞きました。(ツアーで参加しているので帰りのバスは利用しない旨、名前などを伝えました)
バス停は歩いて15分くらいのところにありますが、車通りの多い場所を歩くため少し危ないかもしれません。またバス停は行き先ごとにいくつかあるのでワイキキ行きのバス停を探すのも少し難しいです。Cというバスに乗りました。
アラモアナまで一時間程かかりました。
Amazing experience made better by sharing with friends and family. We would definitely do it again!
I felt that the portions were a bit large for women, but every dish was delicious! The tiramisu dessert was especially exquisite. When I visited, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. I would like to visit again!
女性には少し量が多かったと感じましたが、味はどの料理も美味しかったです!
特にデザートのティラミスは絶品でした(^^)
利用させて頂いたときは日本語を話せるスタッフの方はいらっしゃらなかったですが、特に問題は無かったです。
また利用したいと思います!
Thank you very much for using Taormina. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the food and desserts. Please do stop by again when you visit Waikiki. We sincerely look forward to your next visit. Taormina Umeda
この度は、Taorminaをご利用頂きまして誠にありがとうございます。
お料理・デザート共に、お楽しみ頂けたようで、うれしく思います。
又、ワイキキへお越しの際は是非、お立ち寄りくださいませ。
またのご利用を心より、お待ち申し上げております。Taormina 梅田
I ran the one-hour course last time, so this time I challenged myself with the two-hour course. Despite the not-so-great weather, I started without wearing a poncho. As expected, it started to rain right away. However, I didn't mind getting soaked at all; the scenery was completely different from the one-hour course, and it was a totally different kind of fun. I definitely recommend the two-hour course!
一時間のコースは前回走ったので、今回は二時間コースにチャレンジ。
いまいち天候が良くない中、ポンチョも着ずにスタート。案の定直ぐに雨。
でも、ずぶ濡れも気にしない程、一時間コースとは違う風景で、全く違う面白さでした。
絶対に二時間コースがお薦めですよ。
ハワイで急遽明日シュノーケルでもしたいと思って調べたらちょうどぴったりなプランがすぐに見つかったから嬉しかったです。また利用します
the boat crew was very nice and ensured we had the best time ever.
The captain and the crew were very friendly and entertained us with their actions and props! Before boarding the boat, a local person guided us in Japanese, and even after getting on the ship, they communicated in simple English and Japanese, so I don't think there will be any communication issues at all. It was a unique experience to float on the sea with just my body. If you hand them your phone and ask, they will take pictures for you, and there was no charge for photography! (However, since I really enjoyed myself, I gave a tip at the end as a thank you.) My friend, who was initially scared due to a fear of heights, was able to enjoy it without feeling scared at all once we got up! It was such a wonderful memory that I want to meet the captain and the crew again when I go to Hawaii!
船長さんも乗組員の方もとてもフレンドリーで、動作や小道具で楽しませてくれました!
ボートに乗る前も現地の方が日本語で案内してくれましたしたし、船に乗ってからも簡単な英語と日本語で伝えてくださるので、コミュニケーション面で一切困らないと思います。
海の上に体1つで浮かぶという、他にない経験でした。携帯を渡してお願いしたら写真を撮ってもらえますし、撮影料が掛かることはなかったです!
(ただ、本当に楽しませてもらったので、お礼の意味も込めて最後にチップを渡しました。)
最初は怖がっていた高所恐怖症の友達も、上がってから一度も怖がることなく楽しめていました♪またハワイに行ったら船長さん達に会いたいと思うくらい最高の思い出です!!
As a Solo Traveler, I always worry about being the odd man out. Dan was excellent about making me feel like one of the crew. This was an amazing experience and I will definitely do it again.
Thanks Kristen, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan.
Had an amazing time.
I'd definitely recommend this. 11/10.
except the air sickness all other things were good. it was wonderful view from the top.
The water level this time was waist-deep, but it was very beautiful. I had heard that it wouldn't look as good as in photos, so I wasn't disappointed. The colors of the sea and sky were also very beautiful. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays. I didn't go snorkeling because I can't swim, but my colleagues were thrilled to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close. The staff were very cheerful and energetic, which was great. They were very kind, and I would definitely like to join this crew again when the opportunity arises.
今回の水位は腰下でしたがとても綺麗でした。
なかなか写真みたいにはならないと聞いてましたのでがっかり感はありませんでした。また、海と空の色がとても綺麗でした。ウミガメやマンタも見れて大満足です。シュノーケリングは泳げないからしませんでしたが、同僚たちはまじかてウミガメや綺麗な魚を見れて喜んでいました。
スタッフの方たちはとても明るく、テンション高めで対応してくれて良かったです。とても親切でまた機会あるときは是非このクルー達と参加したいです。
The sandbar had water up to my waist, but I was very satisfied to see the emerald sea. I was also very pleased with the hospitality of the crew. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
サンドバーは腰の高さまで水がありましたが、
エメラルドの海が見られて大変満足でした。
クルーの皆さんのホスピタリティにも大満足。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
I stayed at Hyatt, and it was easy to participate with the shuttle service to the hotel! The staff only speaks English, but since there are many Japanese guests, they seem accustomed to it, so communication is not a problem even if you can't speak English.
We boarded the boat in groups, and for those participating alone, other participants would ride twice to ensure everyone was in tandem. Lighter-weight Japanese people tend to go higher compared to foreigners! The view is amazing, and it feels like you're leisurely swinging over the sea. There's no sense of speed, so as long as you're okay with heights, I don't think it's scary at all.
For $30 (with a $5 fee for the guard), they also took photos and provided nearly 90 data files on an SD card.
ハイアットに宿泊でしたが、ホテルまで送迎つきで楽々参加!
スタッフは英語しか話せませんが、日本人客が多く向こうも慣れているようで、英語が話せなくてもコミュニケーションは問題なしです。
何組かでまとめてボートに乗り込み、1人で参加の方は、他の参加者が2回乗るなどして必ずタンデムでした。
体重の軽めな日本人は、外国人に比べて上がるのが高い!!景色は最高で、海の上でブランコにのってゆ〜ったりしている感じです。スピード感はないので、高い所さえ平気なら全く怖くないと思います♩
30ドル(ガードなら手数料5ドルかかります)で写真も撮ってくれ、90枚近くのデータをSDカードでくれました。
The captain and the instructor were always cheerful and lively, truly embodying the American spirit. They communicated important information clearly, even for those who don't speak English, and I was able to enjoy the experience. However, I do think it would have been more fun to interact with other guests. While safety doesn't seem to be an issue for those who don't speak English, being able to communicate in English might enhance the experience if you want to engage more with other guests.
船長さんとインストラクターさんは常にノリノリで明るく、いかにもアメリカらしさを感じる方たちでしたが、英語ができなくても重要なことはきちんと伝えてくれたし、楽しく体験することができました。
ただ、他のお客さんとの交流も出来たら楽しかっただろうなあとは思います。
安全面では英語ができなくても問題無さそうですが、他のお客さんとの交流などより楽しみたい場合は英語が出来た方がいいかもしれません。
It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.
すごく良かったです。イルカにウミガメ、すごく素敵でした。
$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。
Aloha, LISA!
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next visit.

The pickup was on time, and it was a smooth start. The boat to the sailing point was fast and refreshing. I booked for 120 meters, but after takeoff, I couldn't tell how high I went, just as others had written. Haha. It was surprisingly quiet up there, and I was able to calmly overlook Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When it was time to land, I made the customary splash into the sea! After a light splashdown, I quickly floated back up and landed on the boat. It was so much fun that I want to do it again!
時間通りにお迎えに来て頂きスムーズな滑り出しでした。セーリングポイントまで行くボートもスピードがあって爽快でした。120mで予約しましたがテイクオフした後、他の人が書き込んでいた通り何メートルまで上がったかなんてわかりませんね。笑。上空は思いのほか静かで落ち着いてワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡すことができました。
降りるときはお約束の海にボッチャン!軽く着水した後またすぐに浮き上がってボートに着陸。とても楽しかったのでまたやりたいです。
I was very nervous about this as I had never done it before. Dan is a great instructor, very patient and informative. I would do this again.
Thanks Shana, hope we see you again. Dan.
Overall, I think it was good, but depending on where you sit, the view seemed to vary quite a bit, which was disappointing. Also, since it's not something you get to do often, it was a valuable experience.
全体的には、良かったとおもいますが…座る位置によっては見え方に随分差があったみたいでそれが残念でした。後潜水艦に乗るような事はないので貴重な体験が出来ました。
Friendly staff and a sunny day. Shorter than expected but a great day on the water.
Overall, I was satisfied with the service, but the heavy rain made the sea very rough and the visibility wasn't great. Still, it was cleaner compared to the seas in Japan... It's understandable given the weather, but it's disappointing considering the high price I paid. I would like to try again next time.
サービスは全体的に満足ですが、何と言っても大雨で海は大荒れ、透明度もイマイチ。それでも日本の海に比べたら綺麗でしたが…天候のせいなので仕方ないのですが、高いお金を払っただけに残念です。次回またリベンジしたいです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
I am truly sorry to hear that you were unable to enjoy the tour due to the weather on that day. Upon checking with the tour operator, I learned that it was raining and the waves were high, but since there were no safety issues, the tour was conducted as scheduled. I can understand your disappointment at not being able to enjoy the cruising tour during your trip.
I am very pleased to hear that you are considering giving it another try next time. We look forward to your next visit.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Meeting early in the morning was tough, and I was sleepy, but when I got to swim in the ocean and encountered a pod of dolphins, it was simply "moving"! There was even a baby dolphin about the size of a football!
At the snorkeling spot, a wild turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me. It was so cute.
Since it was November, it was a bit chilly...
早朝の集合で、眠たかったけど海に入りイルカの群れに出会えた時は、”感動”の一言!
アメフトボールぐらいのサイズの赤ちゃんイルカもいました!
シュノーケリングポイントでは、目の前に野生のカメが、空気を吸いに海面に。
とってもかわいかったです。
11月だったので、少し寒かったかな。。。
I couldn't meet the dolphins. However, the first bus at 5 AM was filled with discussions about seasickness bracelets and purchasing photos, and in the end, I couldn't see them... There were activities, but they were things I could do elsewhere... I'm not sure if other tour companies saw dolphins at different locations that day, but I won't participate again next time.
イルカに会えませんでした。
しかし、最初のバス朝5時から船酔いブレスレッドや写真の購入等の商売の話で、
結局みれず・・・アクテビティはあったが、他でも出来る内容だったり、、、
他社のイルカウオッチとは違う場所で、他社業者ツアーがその日みれたかわかりませんが、
次回参加はしないです。
We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.
新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20~30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか~りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました!ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。
Aloha Tanuki,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University!
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at Dolphin University. We hope you were able to experience not only the beauty of the ocean's natural environment but also the majesty of the mountains, fully appreciating the wonders of Hawaii's nature.
We look forward to the day we can meet you again. Thank you for choosing to participate in Dolphin University during your important and cherished honeymoon!
Mahalo!!

It was great to be able to ride a submarine and see sea turtles. However, I was hoping to see more schools of fish, but there weren't as many as I expected... I was looking forward to clear waters, but it seemed a bit murky... I felt like I could see more colorful fish in the clearer seas of Okinawa while snorkeling. Maybe the timing was just off...? I'm not sure about that, but it turned out to be a rather disappointing tour.
潜水艦に乗れたのと、ウミガメをみられたのはよかったです。しかし、もっと魚群がみられるのかな…と思いきや、思ったほどおらず、、、。クリアな水中を期待していたが、何だか濁っていたり、、、。まだ、沖縄のシュノーケルの方が、クリアな海で色とりどりの魚を観ることができる気がしました。時期が悪かったのかなぁ…?その辺はちょっと分かりませんが、ガッカリ感が強いツアーになってしまいました。
It was refreshing to visit an amusement park that is quite rare in Japan. It was a pity that the lazy river was under construction and we couldn't go in, but we still had a great time! Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were few visitors, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time, which was fantastic. However, I do think we shouldn't expect the same level of employee quality and service as in Japan.
日本にはなかなか無いアミューズメントパークで、新鮮でした。流れるプールは工事中で入れないのが残念でしたが、それでも十分楽しめました!平日だからなのか、入場者数も少なく、待ち時間なく遊べることができて、最高でした。ただ、やはり、従業員の質やサービスは日本ほどのものを求めてはいけないとは思います。
