Oahu
What an exciting adventure this was! A very well organised activity from go to whoa; and the staff were all friendly and professional. I'd never parasailed before but loved every second of my ride. Something you must try at least once!
We are so happy you were able to join us! Come back again soon!
My child doesn't really like putting their face in the water and was reluctant to try snorkeling, so the submarine experience was truly great! The kids were thrilled. They were so excited to see the fish underwater. With the Japanese headphones, we could understand the explanations as well. It was a wonderful experience.
子供が海に顔をつけるのがあまり好きではなくシュノーケリングも嫌がっていたので潜水艦は本当に良かったです!
子供達も大喜び。海の中にいる魚を見て大興奮。
日本語のヘッドホン付ければ説明も分かります。いい体験が出来ました。
The moment I entered the sea, I was able to see a sea turtle up close! The dolphins also came by about five or six times. I was very satisfied to see them up close! I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were a few people who were feeling seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
海に入った瞬間ウミガメがすごく近くで見れました!
イルカも、5,6回は来てくれたでしょうか。
近くで見ることができとても満足でした!
私は酔い止めを飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いしてる方が何人かいたので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいと思います!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad you were able to see dolphins and sea turtles! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! イルカやウミガメをご覧になることができたようで幸いです! またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております、MAHALO!!
I was quite nervous since it was my first time paragliding, but the explanations were thorough, and I had a great atmosphere with the other participants! It felt like time flew by because I enjoyed my walk in the sky so much! I thought it could have been a bit longer, but I was fully satisfied! I would love to participate in this activity again next time! (⌒▽⌒)
初めてのパラだったのでかなりドキドキしてましたが、説明もしっかりしていただき他の参加者の方ともすごくいい雰囲気で楽しめました!!
空の散歩が楽しすぎたせいかすぐに時間が過ぎてしまった感じでした!!
もう少し時間が、長くてもいいかなとは思いましたが充分満足できました!!
次回もまた参加してみたいアクティビティです(⌒▽⌒)
This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!
Thank you Clover, you guys were awesome. Hope you had a great honeymoon! Dan.
Since we were staying at a hotel in Ala Moana, we could easily walk to the Hilton. Although it was said to take 2-3 hours, we signed up at 11:00, and since it was just the four of us, we were back at the hotel by 12:30.
The view from 150 meters high was truly fantastic, refreshing, and amazing!
アラモアナのホテルに滞在していたので、ヒルトンまですぐそこで歩いて行けました。
実際には2-3時間かかると言われていましたが、11時に申し込んで、私たち4人だけだったので、12時半にはホテルに戻ってこられました。
150mの高さは本当に見晴らしがよく、気持ちよくて、最高でした!
It was very beautiful!! I was satisfied because I could see many sea turtles. However, surprisingly, it was deep until we reached the sandbar... I think it depends on the season, but some women were submerged up to their chests. In the photos, it looks like it's only knee-deep, so be careful as there were people who couldn't enter because they weren't wearing swimsuits.
とってもきれいでした!!海亀もたくさん見れたので満足です。
ただ、以外とサンドバーにたどり着くまでが深いです。。。時期にもよるのだと思いますが女性の方は胸のあたりまで浸かりました。
写真だと膝くらいなので水着を着てなくて入れない方もいたので注意ですね。
After arriving by bus from Waikiki, we set off on a boat! Our energetic Japanese guide provided a humorous sightseeing tour, and we reached the heavenly sea! At high tide, the water was up to our waists, and the contrast between the blue sea, the Ko'olau mountain range, and the emerald green sandbar was stunning. After enjoying the sandbar for about an hour, it was lunch time! The freshly grilled hamburgers from the boat's BBQ were delicious!
Next, we went on a turtle watching adventure while listening to the captain play the ukulele and sing! Luckily, a big turtle greeted us right in front of the boat. After that, we went snorkeling over a large coral reef! Before snorkeling, our Japanese guide carefully explained important safety precautions in an easy-to-understand manner, which made us feel very secure. Finally, we donned our fins, masks, and life jackets and entered the water! The clear sea was filled with many fish and corals, allowing us to enjoy a unique snorkeling experience. Other guests were able to swim with the turtles, which was enviable! Additionally, the local staff kept a close eye on safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!
ワイキキからバスで到着後、ボートで出発!日本人の元気なガイドさんから冗談交えての観光ガイドもしてもらいながら天国の海へ到着!満潮で腰までつかるほどで、青い海とクアロア山脈とサンドバーのエメラルドグリーンのコントラストが最高でした。1時間ほどサンドバーを堪能した後はランチtime!ボートのBBQで焼きあがった出来たてのハンバーガーはとても美味しかった!
お次は船長のウクレレと生歌を聴きながらホヌウォッチングへ!運よくビッグなホヌがボートの前で迎えてくれました。その後は大きなサンゴの沖合でシュノケーリング!シュノケーリングの前には日本人ガイドさんから安全に関わる大切な諸注意を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれてとても安心しました。いざ、足ヒレ、マスク、ライフジャケットを着用して着水!透明な海の中にはたくさんの魚とサンゴがいて沖合ならではのシュノケーリングを楽しむことができました。他のお客さんはホヌと泳ぐことができたそうです。羨ましい!また、現地スタッフの方々も安全面に目を光らせていて安心して楽しむことができました。大満足なtourでした!
I went to the location by rental car, but it was quite a distance from Waikiki. Since it was not crowded, there were hardly any Japanese people, and I was able to enjoy the attractions without waiting in line. I had some trouble figuring out how to use the lockers.
レンタカーで現地に行きましたがワイキキから結構距離があった。空いていた事もあってほとんど日本人もいないし、並ばずアトラクションをかなり満喫できた。
ロッカーの使い方にてこずりました。
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Mahalo,
アロハ、
貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
マハロ、
It felt like we were swimming with all our might to chase after the dolphins, haha.
It can be quite tiring, but it's a fun event. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, they provide free life jackets and fins, so you'll manage somehow.
I had imagined playing with the dolphins, so it was a bit disappointing that the experience was different from what I expected. But I did get to see wild dolphins.
Since they are wild, whether they come close to people or swim away depends on their mood that day.
On the day we went, it seemed like a pod of bottlenose dolphins was nearby, and the long-beaked dolphins with their young seemed to be panicking and escaping.
Whether you get to play with the dolphins is probably a matter of luck.
イルカのいるところまで全力で泳いで追いかける感じでしたw
なかなか疲れますが楽しいイベントではあります。
泳ぎに自信が無くてもライフジャケットとフィンが無料で付いてくるので、どうにかなります。
イルカと戯れるイメージを想定していたので、
何となく違う結果だったのは残念。
でも野生のイルカに会えました。
野生だから、イルカの気分で人の近くに来るか、逃げるか、それはその日次第のようです。
入った日は近くにバンドウイルカの群れが来ていたようで、
子どもを連れたハシナガイルカたちは焦って逃げていたみたいですね。
イルカと戯れられるかどうかは運次第でしょう。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. Since we work with wild dolphins, the distance to the dolphins and the time you can see them may vary from day to day. However, we hope you will consider joining us again when you visit Hawaii. All of our staff look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました。 野生のイルカとなりますので、どうしても日によってイルカとの距離やイルカを見れる時間は異なってしまいますが、また是非ハワイにいらっしゃった際は再チャレンジしていただけたらと思います。 またのご参加をスタッフ一同お待ちしております。 MAHALO!!
I received a confirmation call the evening before, and they asked if I would like to change to the 9:00 AM flight since the early morning flight on the day of the reservation was extremely full. I gladly accepted! I was thinking that early mornings would be tough due to jet lag, so it worked out perfectly (*´∇`*).
A blue school bus with "Meimon Iruka Junior High" written on it arrived in front of the hotel. All the staff members were cheerful and fun people.
Since there were few of us, we all introduced ourselves one by one during the ride. This was really enjoyable! With everyone sharing information, a sense of camaraderie among classmates started to develop.
It took about an hour by school bus to reach the Ko Olina area in the northern part of Oahu, and we arrived at the port after a fun commute. After about 20 to 30 minutes, the boat carrying the first group returned. There were indeed a lot of people... I'm glad we switched to the second group!
We boarded a luxurious two-story cruise ship and traveled for about 20 minutes to the dolphin point. Whenever we spotted dolphins, everyone would jump in, but the dolphins would often get startled and swim away. The boat would quietly approach the dolphin pods, allowing us to jump in one by one and swim towards the dolphins with all our might.
Wearing a simple life jacket and small fins made floating easy, but swimming was a bit tough.
Even when we swam, the dolphins would escape! They swam right under us at times. We could see the dolphins' dorsal fins from a distance.
I brought a special camera for diving, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture any images of the dolphins.
After several attempts, everyone was able to see the dolphins with their own eyes, and then we moved to the point where the turtles were. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, as if to say, "Is now the time to jump in?"
At the turtle point, we enjoyed snorkeling. It was a fun day filled with laughter. Thank you very much!
前日の夕方に確認の電話が来て、
予約当日の早朝便は凄い満員だから、良かったら2便(9:00発)に変更しませんか?と言われ快諾!
時差ぼけで早朝はきついなーと思っていたので丁度よかったです(*´∇`*)
ホテル前に「名門イルカ中学」と書かれた青いスクールバスが到着。
スタッフさんたちはみんな陽気で楽しい方々ばかりw
人数が少なかったので移動中全員順番に自己紹介をしましたw
これがまた楽しかった♪
みんなの情報が共有されたので、クラスメイトの一体感が何となく芽生えた感じです。
オアフ島の北部、コオリナ地区までスクールバスで約1時間弱、楽しい通学時間を過ごして港に到着。
2~30分ほどで1便の皆を載せたボートが帰ってきました。
たしかにすごい人数でした・・・。
2便にして良かったw
2階建ての豪華なクルーズ船に乗ってイルカポイントまで約20分程度移動。
イルカを見つけては全員で飛び込むんだけど・・・
さすがにイルカさんたち、驚いちゃうのか逃げてしまいますw
船は出来るだけ静かにイルカの群れの近くまで行ってくれるので、
順次水に飛び込んでイルカ向かって全力で泳ぎます。
簡易版ライフジャケットを着用して、小さなフィンを装着しているので浮いているのは楽だけど泳ぐにはちょっとしんどいw
泳いでもイルカさんは逃げますwww
足の下を通り過ぎてくれたりしました。
遠めにイルカさんの背びれも見えました。
ダイビングをするので、専用のカメラを携えて行きましたが、イルカさんの姿を撮影する事は出来なかったのが残念。
何度かのトライで全員がイルカさんを肉眼で確認できたところで終了。
カメさんのいるポイントに移動する間、イルカさんは船に並走してくれてw
飛び込むなら今?的なw
カメさんのいるポイントでは素潜りして楽しみました。
笑いの絶えない楽しい一日でした、どうもありがとうw
Aloha Ikeda,
Thank you for your flexible response despite the last-minute notice!
The second tour will only operate if the first one is fully booked, but since you had a leisurely morning, it has been well received.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
We look forward to your next visit!
Mahalo
Aloha 池田様
前日のご連絡にもかかわらず、柔軟にご対応いただきましてありがとうございました!
2便のツアーは1便が満席なったときのみ催行となっておりますが、朝ごゆっくりということもあり、ご好評いただいております。
ツアーをご満喫いただいたとのこと、スタッフ一同とても嬉しく思います。
またのお越しをお待ちしております!

We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!
大人3人8才3才の家族5人で乗りました。子供2人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。3回から4回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ2人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング!!最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。3歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて3回でトライ終了。もう1回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。
Thank you for the five-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
五つ星の口コミありがとうございました! またのお越しをお待ちしております!
This was an amazing experience. The staff was so helpful and entertaining. We heard a lot of historic info about the farm and its operatiion along the way. The equipment , platforms, rope bridges, and rapeling lines were awesome. The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was one of my favorite activities I did while on the island!
I was a bit anxious about participating with my 63-year-old mother and my 5-year-old son, but my husband was also with us, so all four of us could enjoy the experience together. We all had a great time. Since we took motion sickness medication before departure, no one ended up feeling seasick, which was a relief.
63歳の母と、5歳の息子を連れての参加で不安もありましたが、夫も一緒に4人一緒に飛ばせてもらえました。みんなで楽しめました。出発前に酔い止めも飲んでいたので、誰も船酔いもせずに終われて良かったです。
I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy myself without feeling sick. According to the staff, taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding works best!
On the bus to the boat, the staff talked about snorkeling tips. All the staff members were enthusiastic, cheerful, and fun(^ ^).
We saw so many dolphins! The staff was excited too.
The activities on the boat were enjoyable as well. They played the ukulele, danced, and we had lunch!
On the way back, they were selling photos, so I bought some, and I’m really glad I did. It's hard to take underwater photos by yourself. They are all truly beautiful pictures. I highly recommend it.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you!
船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いすることなく楽しめました。スタッフさん曰く、酔い止め薬は乗船の30分前に飲むと効きやすいそうです!
船までのバスでは、シュノーケルの心得をスタッフさんが話されていました。スタッフの方は、みなさん熱心で、明るく楽しい方ばかりでした(^ ^)
イルカは本当に沢山見られました!スタッフの方も興奮されていました。
船上でのアクティビティも楽しかったです。ウクレレを弾いてくれたり、踊ったり、ランチも頂きました!
帰りのバスで、写真を販売していたので、買ったのですが、やはり買ってよかったです。水中の写真は、なかなか自分では撮れないです。本当に綺麗な写真ばかりです。オススメします。
ハワイに行く機会があれば、またぜひ参加したいです。ありがとうございました!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with the activities, staff support, and photos throughout your experience. Please come back and visit Dolphin Middle School and University 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! アクティビティ、スタッフのご対応、お写真など全体を通してご満足いただけたようで何よりです。 また是非、イルカ中学・大学に遊びにいらしてくださいね! MAHALO!!
It was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean. The fireworks ended in about five minutes, but since we were seated on the third-floor deck for the appetizers, we had a great view during the fireworks.
海からワイキキをみるのは初めてでした。花火はものの5分程度で終了しましたが、アペタイザーは3階のデッキに最初から座るので花火のとき良い席でした。
Captain bobs snorkel tour was a lot of fun. You get taken out to a shallow water area at first, to play around with volleyball, taking water photos, and then they give you a barbecue lunch. Then we're taken into shallow waters further out, but along the way we are looking for large turtle citing a. We saw many large turtles. When we stopped again we were let into the shallow waters(3-4ft) to swim with small fish, and snorkel with a breather pipe, to see live coral, and small fish. The whole time a performer was singing, and playing ukelele on top the ship, a really fun time. I would recommend capt bobs for a fun afternoon!!
I signed up for the 10 AM tour, so the commentary was in Japanese. The local guide's Japanese explanation was entertaining and easy to understand, with some jokes mixed in. We took a boat to the point where we boarded the submarine, and the second floor of the boat was very pleasant, giving us a nice cruise feeling. It was a bit cold inside the submarine. There were many young groups and families. We were able to see colorful fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a certificate.
10時のツアーに申し込んだので日本語の解説でした。現地の方の日本語の解説は、ジョークも交えて面白おかしく、そしてわかりやすいものでした。潜水艦に乗るポイントまでは、船で行くのですが、船の2階はとても気持ちよく、ちょっとしたクルーズ気分が味わえて良かったです。潜水艦内では、ちょっと寒かったです。若いグループや、ファミリーが多かったです。カラフルな魚やサメも見れました(^ ^)証明書はもらえなかったです。
On the way to Ko Olina, I was curious about the pool and decided to choose this tour for my next trip to Hawaii.
I only signed up for the shuttle and a one-day pass, without any surfing experience or meals included.
The shuttle arrived right on time. A brief facility explanation was provided in English followed by Japanese until we reached the site.
We arrived at the opening time and entered after a simple bag check at the entrance gate. It seems that you can't bring in any opened beverages, so it might be a good idea to bring drinks for the bus and for use inside the facility.
I brought a waterproof pouch for valuables that I wore around my neck, but since some attractions prohibit carrying items, I ended up leaving it in a locker and didn't need the pouch after all.
The locker can be paid for with a credit card, and once you set a PIN, you can use that locker freely throughout the day. There were both large and small lockers, so if you pack lightly, a small one should be fine.
There are many attractions like slides, and you only have to wait about 10 minutes for each. I don’t go to pools often, so I can’t compare, but my husband said, "Slides at pools in Japan have longer lines, so this is really easy."
In the end, we did each attraction that wasn't for kids once, and then repeated a few that we liked until it was one hour before the meeting time to return, so we didn't have time for lunch (we only shared one popcorn).
I saw many foreigners walking barefoot, but the ground is very hot, so I think it's better to wear flip-flops and take them off near the attractions.
There is almost no shade, so it's best to be well-prepared for sunburn. Everyone was applying sunscreen around the locker area.
It might be different if you have kids, but I think couples can have plenty of fun even without any options! We really enjoyed it!
コオリナに行く途中で気になっていたプール、次ハワイに行くときは訪れようと決めていたのでこちらのツアーを選びました。
送迎+1日パスのみで申し込みました。
サーフィン体験も食事もつけておりません。
送迎は時間通りにきっちりと来てくれました。
現地に着くまでに簡単な施設説明が英語→日本語の順で流れます。
開園時間に到着し、入場ゲートで簡単な荷物チェック後中に入りました。未開封以外の飲料は持ち込めないようなので、バスで飲む用と施設内で飲む用を持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
私は首から下げる防水の貴重品ケースを購入して持って行きましたが、アトラクションでは
携帯物禁止のものもあるため結局ロッカーに預けっぱなしでケースは必要ありませんでした。
ロッカーはクレジットカードで支払い、暗証番号を設定したらそのロッカーを1日出し入れ自由で使うことができました。大小ありましたのでもし身軽に荷造りしていれば小で大丈夫です。
スライダー等のアトラクションが沢山あり、どれも10分程度待てばいいくらいです。私はあまりプールに行かないので比較ができないのですが、夫曰く「日本のプールのスライダーはもっと並ぶからここはすごく楽だよ」と言っていました。
結局子ども向け以外のアトラクションを1回ずつやり、そのあと気に入ったのを数回やっていたら帰りの集合時間1時間前になったので昼食を食べる時間は結局ありませんでした。(気になったのでポップコーンを2人で1つ食べた程度)
裸足で歩いている外国人の方も沢山見ましたが、地面がとても暑いのでビーチサンダルを履いてアトラクションの近くで脱ぐ方がいいかと思います。
屋根はほぼ無いので日焼け対策は万全にしていた方がいいです。ロッカー周辺で皆日焼け止めを塗っていました。
お子さんがいたりするとまた違うと思いますが、夫婦やカップルなら特にオプションが無くても十分楽しめる施設だと思います!シャカはまりました!
Aloha,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.
アロハ、
貴重なご意見を沢山頂きありがとうございました。
After about 15 minutes on the boat, we reached the point where we could see sea turtles. You can only catch a glimpse of them when they come up for air, so it goes by quickly, but it’s quite exciting when you do see them.
After that, we went to the Angel's Sea. The view of the transparent emerald green sea, white sandy beach, blue sky, and white clouds spread out before us was breathtaking! I really felt it was worth going.
After eating a hamburger, we went to the coral reef for snorkeling. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the water clarity wasn't that great that day.
船に乗って15分くらいして、ウミガメが見れるポイントへ。
息継ぎをする瞬間しか見れないので、あっという間ですが、見れたときは結構嬉しいです。
その後に天使の海。透明なエメラルドグリーンの海、白い砂浜、青い空、白い雲が一面に広がっている景色は圧巻です!本当に行って良かったと思いました。
で、ハンバーガーを食べた後にサンゴ礁に行ってシュノーケリング。
風が強かったせいか、この日は海の透明度はそこまで良くなかったです。
Meeting at 5:30 in the morning was tough, and waking up was a struggle. Additionally, it took about an hour to drive from Waikiki to Waianae Harbor by bus, and the bus ride was quite rough and scary. Perhaps due to being pressed for time, the driver sped along much faster on the way there compared to the return trip.
However, the snorkeling experience where we could see dolphins up close was absolutely amazing. Swimming with the dolphins in the crystal-clear sea became one of the best memories of my life. We swam for about 30 minutes while chasing the dolphins, and although my wife started to feel tired and wanted to return to the boat, she held on and kept up with the group.
After returning to the boat, the effects of waking up early, the rough bus ride, the 30 minutes of swimming, and the swaying of the boat while anchored led to many people feeling seasick. The benches on the second deck of the boat were filled with people lying down.
The hamburgers were simply made by putting the ingredients we brought between buns, and they weren't particularly delicious. I think this option requires going to bed early the night before, being tough against motion sickness and seasickness, and having enough stamina to keep swimming for a while. Additionally, I would appreciate it if the dolphin snorkeling allowed for more flexibility in returning to the boat based on individual needs.
While I’ve mentioned various negative aspects, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was still the best time. The Japanese staff and local crew were all fun and kept us entertained with plenty of talks, songs, and dances.
By the way, during the tour, many photos are taken, and you can purchase all the photos taken that day from that camera for a flat fee of 5,000 yen, either as data or via email.
早朝5時半過ぎに集合で朝起きるのが辛かった。
さらに、ワイキキからバスで1時間ほど高速を走らせワイアナエハーバーまで行くが、バスの運転が荒く恐かった。時間に追われてるためか、帰りに比べ行くときは飛ばす飛ばす・・。
しかし、メインのイルカを間近で見ることができたシュノーケリングは最高でした。透き通る海の中をイルカ達と泳げたことは、人生でも最高の思い出となりました。
イルカを追いながら30分は泳いだか、だんだん疲れてきて妻は船に戻りたかったようだが、団体行動のため我慢して着いて行った。
船に戻ってからは、早朝起床&荒い運転のバス&30分泳&停泊中の船の横揺れなどもろもろの影響で、船酔い者が続出。船の2階デッキのベンチは横たわる人達が多数。
ハンバーガーは持ち込みの具材をただパンズで挟んだだけで特別おいしいわけではありません。
このオプションは前日の早めの就寝と、車酔い&船酔いにタフであることと、ある程度泳ぎ続ける体力が必要だと思いました。さらに、イルカシュノーケリングも個人に合わせ自由に船に戻れる配慮がほしいです。
とまあ、いろいろネガティブなことも書きましたが、それをもってしてもイルカと泳いだ時間は最高の時間でした。進行役の日本人スタッフや現地のスタッフは楽しい方達ばかりで、飽きさせないようにたくさんトークや歌や踊りを披露してくれました。
ちなみに、ツアー中たくさん写真を撮ってもらえますが、その日そのカメラで撮った写真全てを任意でデータかメールで買うかたちで、一律5,000円です。
ALOHA!! Thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We sincerely apologize for any anxiety you may have experienced during the bus ride and snorkeling. Our staff, including the driver and guides, will strive to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable tour from departure to return. Thank you for your valuable feedback. 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。 バスの運転やシュノーケルの際に不安な想いをさせてしまいましたこと、大変申し訳御座いませんでした。 ドライバーやガイドを含めたスタッフ一同で、出発からお戻りまで安心していただけるツアーに出来るよう精進してまいります。 貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。 MAHALO!!
So much fun!!!!! I thought the guy I the office was a bit rude, but didn't let that effect my rating. The guys on the boat were so nice & friendly, made my family feel so comfortable. Awesome experience!
Originally, we were scheduled for the day before, but the meeting place was hard to find, so we couldn't do it that day. I communicated with Beltora and ended up making a reservation for the next day to experience it. I had participated before and had a great time then as well, but this time I was able to enjoy it amidst the loud music and excitement. I definitely recommend the 150-meter option.
元々予定していたのは前日で、集合場所が分かり辛く、結局その日は出来ずに、ベルトラさんとやりとりをして、次の日に予約とゆう形で体験しました。
以前も参加したことがあり、その時も楽しかったですが、爆音ノリノリの中、楽しく過ごすことができました。
やっぱり150メートルがオススメです。
I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first daytime yacht cruise. The catamaran felt stable and didn't sway much. There was a net at the bow where I could lie down and look at the sea. It was refreshing, and the sea breeze felt great.
Drinks and snacks were included. The staff spoke only English, but they were very friendly and took photos for us.
サンセットクルーズには何回か参加したことが有りますが、日中のヨットクルーズは初めてでした。双胴船で安定した感じで揺れはさほどありません。舳にはネットが張ってあり寝転んで海を見ることが出来ました。爽快で海風が気持ち良かったです。
ドリンクとスナックが付いていました。フタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、写真を撮ってくれたりとてもフレンドリーでした。
We went to Sea Life Park just the two of us. My wife signed up for Dolphin Aloha (feeding and touching dolphins), and I participated as an observer only. I thought I would be able to watch the feeding, but since it takes place in an indoor pool, observers are not allowed in and I couldn't see it.
There were various shows in the park, but the outdoor dolphin show was particularly impressive and a highlight.
夫婦ふたりきりでシーライフパークへ行ってきました。妻はドルフィンアロハ(イルカの餌付けとタッチ)に申し込みし私は見学のみで参加しました。餌付けしているところを見れるのかと思っていましたが、屋内のプールで行うので見学者は入れなく見る事はできませんでした。
園内ではいろいろなショウをやっていましたが、中でも屋外でのドルフィンショウが迫力があり見どころでした。
The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.
海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです
There were many slides that you can't find in Japan, and it was fun. It's cheap, and you can play all day! But the weather was cloudy and cold.
日本にはな無いスライダーが沢山あって面白かった。
安いし一日遊べる~
でも天気が曇りで寒かった~
I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.
The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.
The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.
12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It’s not often that you get a private tour just for the two of you, so you were lucky! On that day, the tide was high and the waves were quite strong, so I thought sea turtles would come in close. I’m sorry we couldn’t show them to you. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Please come back again, just the two of you. We are always waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただきまして、ありがとうございます。お二人だけの貸切なんてそう滅多にないので、ラッキーでしたね!この日は満ち潮で波が結構入っていましたから、こんな日はウミガメはインサイドに入ってくるはず!と思っていたのですが、お見せできなくてごめんなさいね。でも楽しんでいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。是非またお二人で来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I had wanted to try this for a long time. I finally fulfilled my wish and went for it. I was unsure about the height, but I decided on 120 meters! In the end, I didn't feel scared at all and thought I could have gone even higher. I was also worried about getting seasick, but that was fine. The staff's high energy and brightness lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, it was over without even having time to feel seasick. Next time, I definitely want to participate again.
以前から一度チャレンジしてみたいと思ってました。
やっと念願かなって飛びました。
高さをどうしょうか‥と悩みましたが‥120メートルに決定!
結果‥全く怖さも感じずもっと高くても良かったかも‥と思いました
心配してた船酔いも、大丈夫でした。
スタッフのテンションの高さや明るさで、気分も上がり‥船酔いする間も無くあっという間に終了‥次回‥また参加したいです。
Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.
潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。
