Oahu
This was a pleasant day, unfortunately the boat really didn't go far from the marina. The only fish we saw were bated by the crew. No whale or dolphin sightings. They fed us lunch at the end of the day nearly 3 a bit hard for kids and adults consuming alcohol. Nothing really bad however not a remarkable day considering the price.
We went as a family of five with our first grader, our kindergartner, and our one-year-old daughter.
Our kindergartner was really looking forward to this program because he loves animals. Before we left, I was a bit worried that he might get scared when he saw the dolphins up close or become shy, but not at all! He enjoyed it thoroughly without being scared, staying at just the right distance (he might have been nervous if he had to get into the pool).
I heard that some kids his age who participated in the same program were scared, and those kids only got to feed the dolphins three times. However, the little ones who were really excited got to feed them more than usual as a special treat.
My first grader joined a program where he could interact with the dolphins in the pool, but he found that the program for younger kids was much more satisfying! I definitely recommend that one!

頂いたのですが、
次男は動物が大好きで出発前から
とても楽しみにしていました。
それでも、実際イルカを目の前にすると
怖がったり、意外と引っ込み思案になるかな?とか
色々考えていましたが、
全然!!
近すぎず(プールの中に入ってだとビビっていたかもです)遠すぎず恐がることなく
存分に楽しめた様子です。
同じプログラムに参加していた同年代の子は
怖がっている子もいたらしく、
その子達は通常の3回

サービスで通常よりも
多く餌やりさせてもらえたみたいです(^^)

This trip was great, it was a lot of fun. The guides kept us safe and comfortable, it was efficient and very fun! Do expect to get wet.
I was really glad to be able to see the deep blue, incredibly beautiful sea. It was truly stunning. However, I couldn't see anything else at all. It was frustrating not to receive a reboarding ticket for when I couldn't see anything, regardless of whether I could go or not; it felt like the promises weren't being kept. Since one of my family members gets seasick, we opted for no meals, but the seating was mixed up between those who had meals and those who didn't. My little child was looking enviously at the people around us who were eating, and I felt a bit disheartened. I wish they could have at least separated the seating a little within the area...
深い青のすごくきれいな海に出られたことは良かったです。本当に綺麗でした。ひたすらそれだけで全く何も見れませんでしたが。見られなかった際の再乗船チケットもらえず、行ける行けないは別にして約束事を守ってもらえないのは不快です。船酔いしてしまう家族がいるので食事無しにしましたが、食事ありなしの人たちの席がごちゃ混ぜで、すぐ周りで食べている人たちをウチの小さい子供が羨ましそうに見ていて、あ~ぁと思いました。何となくフロアの中でも席を分けてくれればいいのに・・・
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time.
We do provide re-boarding tickets for those who do not see whales, which can be obtained on board or at the check-in office. We sincerely apologize that this information was not clearly communicated to you.
Regarding your comments about the seating, we will share your feedback internally and use it to improve future cruises.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

So entertaining and full of interesting facts about the Polynesians and their surrounding cultures.
The dancing and singing was beautiful and the food was amazing.
The Chief was hilarious and really made our anniversary night extra special and gave me flowers!
If you're gonna go, spend the extra money and see the entire thing! We got to see everything, including our beloved USS Missouri!
Wow! This was way better than we had expected.
I definitely felt that I conquered my fear of heights and learned how to work together as a team.
The staff was very professional and made us all feel like active members. We will definitely do this again
We had a nice time on this cruise. Great way to see fireworks
The experience was so much more than we expected. Loved the humor of the bus guide, the staff at the luau and the Chief. Could not have asked for more fun under the stars with a beautiful scenic backdrop.
Fantastic wsy to finish our stay in Hawaii. Great team, friendly and really added to the experience. Thanks Rich, Michelle & Corbin.
I participated in a tour with my wife in early March! We were picked up early in the morning at Aloha Landing. During the ride, our guide (who was Japanese) provided entertaining explanations, making the journey to our destination enjoyable! After nearly an hour on the bus, we arrived and boarded the boat to head out to sea! Along the way, we sang a song in Hawaiian to pray for safety.
About 30 minutes later, we reached a spot where we could see dolphins. Although there was a chance we might not see any, it seemed we had a very lucky day, as we encountered many dolphins, much to our guide's surprise! We were truly healed by the sight of the adorable dolphins and their cute sounds.
After that, we went back a bit to snorkel and see sea turtles and fish. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any, but others in the tour said they saw sea turtles! When we returned to the boat, we enjoyed hamburgers and snacks. Eating a hamburger in the great outdoors was exceptional.
The guide and the person driving the boat were both fun, and it was a wonderful tour that allowed us to connect with the dolphins and nature. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again! I encourage everyone to join this tour; you won't forget Hawaii!
3月上旬に奥さんと一緒にツアーに参加しました!
朝早くにアロハランディングにてピックアップ
道中ではガイド(日本人)の方の楽しい説明で飽きることなく目的地へ!
一時間近くバスに乗っていると到着
船に乗り込んで沖に出ました!
道中ではハワイ語で安全を祈願する歌を歌いました
30分ほどするとイルカが見られるスポットに到着
見られないこともあるとの事でしたが私たちの日は
とても良い日だったみたいでガイドさんも驚くほど
多くのイルカたちに出会うことができました!
かわいいイルカたちの姿やキューという鳴き声に
心から癒されました!
その後、少し戻ってウミガメや魚を見にシュノーケル。
私は残念ながら見れなかったですがツアーに一一緒にいた方はウミガメ見れたそうです!
船に戻って、ハンバーガーとお菓子をいただきました。大自然の中で食べるハンバーガーは格別でした
ガイドさんや船を運転してくださる方も楽しい方ですし、イルカたちや大自然に癒される素晴らしい
ツアーです。
もう一度ハワイに来ることがあれば必ず参加したい
と思っています!皆さんも是非参加して見てください!ハワイが忘れられなくなりますよ
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with both the tour content and the staff's service. We hope that next time you join us, you'll be able to see both dolphins and sea turtles! All of our staff look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度は名門イルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ツアー内容、スタッフのサービス共にご満足いただけたようで幸いです。 次回ご参加なされる時はイルカも海ガメも見れますように! またのご参加をスタッフ一同お待ちしております、MAHALO!!
The weather was great, and I was able to see some beautiful scenery! At first, I was a little scared, but I went up smoothly, and when coming down, I landed slowly, so it was fine. The view from parasailing was truly spectacular, and I had a valuable experience, so I am very satisfied!
天気にも恵まれてとてもいい景色が見れました!
最初は少し怖がっていましたが、すっと上がっていくのと降りる時もゆっくりと着地するので大丈夫でした◎
パラセイリングからの景色は本当に絶景で、貴重な体験ができてとても満足しています(^^)
We decided to participate at my daughter's request. To sum it up, we encountered a lot of dolphins!! We even spotted a whale in the distance!!! I think many people probably thought it was amazing. However, our family of five... maybe lacking stamina, all five of us refused to get in the water a second time (^^;) If you ask me if it was fun, to be honest, I would say "..." but I think it was good as another memory.
娘の希望で参加を決めました。結論から言えば、沢山のイルカに遭遇!!遠くにクジラも発見!!!多分、最高だったと思った方達も多くいると思います。しかし我々家族5人...体力がないのか2回目の着水は5人とも拒否(^^;)私は終始海へのエサまき状態(苦笑)楽しかったかと聞かれたら正直なところ「・・・」ですが、それもまた思い出の一つとして良かったと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. I hope you enjoyed swimming a lot and are not too tired. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, we would be grateful if you would consider our tours. We sincerely look forward to your next visit. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度は名門イルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました。 たくさん泳いでお疲れになられたかと思いますが、もしまたハワイにお越しになる機会がございましたら弊社ツアーをご検討頂けますと幸いです。 またのお越しを心よりお待ちしております、MAHALO!!
hospitable crew, great food and facilities. It had been a wonderful experience!
A must do. The movie ATV tour is great, so many movies and beautiful scenery. Great, friendly staff.
There were several Japanese-speaking staff members, and thanks to their guidance in Japanese, I was able to fully enjoy the tour. The main place I wanted to visit was the filming location of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.
We traveled to the Jurassic Park filming site by large bus, where the guide took photos with a dinosaur figure.
At the Jurassic World filming location, the set where the Indominus Rex was contained remained intact, and we were able to drive inside. It was like an exploration course on a mountain road among several options. It felt like we were heading towards the bumpy road deep in Kualoa Ranch. While we couldn't get out of the car there, we could take photos from inside. I was sitting on the left side, so I was able to take pictures with the Indominus Rex's claw marks in the background.
I am very satisfied because I wanted to visit this set from Jurassic World. I hope this information can help others who are looking for the same experience, as I had a hard time finding it myself.
日本語スタッフが何名かおり、日本語での案内があったため、ツアーを満喫することができました。
メインで行きたかったのはジュラシックパーク・ジュラシックワールドの撮影地でした。
ジュラシックパークの撮影地は大型バスで行き、ガイドさんが恐竜の人形を持って撮影してくれました。
ジュラシックワールドの撮影地ではインドミナスレックスが隔離されていたセットがそのまま残っており、そこの中に車で入ることができました。
それは、コースがいくつか選べる中の山道の探検コース?のようなものでした。クアロアランチの奥のデコボコ道まで進もう!みたいなものです。
そこで車を降りることはできませんが、車の中から撮影できました。私は左側に座っていたので、インドミナスレックスの爪痕を背景に撮影できました。
ジュラシックワールドのこちらのセットに行きたかった為、とても満足です。
こちらの情報を探してもなかなか見つけることができなかった為、同じような思いの方のお役に立てればと思います。
I arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time and waited, but despite the wait, there was no sign of the pickup. After about 20 minutes, my daughter went to make a phone call. Shortly after that, her name was finally called, and she returned to inform me that the 9:05 pickup had turned into 9:35. According to her, they had come once but didn’t recognize us and just passed by. From our perspective, we had arrived early, but we weren’t called by name, didn’t know what kind of vehicle to look for, and there was no guiding sign, so we were left with nothing to do but wait. It felt like a letdown, especially since we had previously had such good experiences with Veltra. I wish they had called our names from the start. The pool seemed to be enjoyable for my grandchildren. If I could wish for something, it would be for a bit more thorough cleaning. Also, despite not allowing outside food, the line to buy food was very long, which felt like a waste of time. I think it’s a place worth visiting once.
ピックアップの時間10分前に行って待っていたのに待てど暮らせどお迎えがなく20分くらいして娘が電話をしにとうとう行きました。それからしばらくして、名前を呼ばれ娘も戻ってきて9時5分ピックアップが9時35分になってました。娘の話によると、一度来たそうだけどわからなかったそうでスルーしたとか。私たちからしたら、早めに来ていたのに名前も呼ばれず、どんな車かも解らず、案内のプレートもなくあの時成すすべもなかったです。ただ待つのみ。veltraさんの今までの対応がよく高く評価していただけに出鼻くじかれたみたいでした。最初から名前を呼んでいただいてらと思います。プールは孫たちも楽しかったようです。欲を言えばもう少し清掃が行き届いているといいのですがそれに持ち込みがダメな割には食べ物を買うだけなのにとても長い行列で時間が勿体なかったです。一度行けばいい所かなと思いました。
This is the second time I've booked the exact same tour, and I recommended it to a family who was going for the first time, so we participated together! This time, the water was shallow and it was sunny, so we were able to see a different sandbar compared to last time☆ Next time, I want to see it when the water is completely low♡
今回まったく同じツアーを申し込んだのは2回目で、初めて行くファミリーにオススメして一緒に参加しました!今回の水の深さは浅くてしかも晴れていたので前回とはまた違ったサンドバーを見ることができました☆ 今度は完全に水がひいてる状態を見てみたいです♡
My daughter and grandson experienced it. At first, they seemed anxious, but once they flew, they were amazed by the beauty of Waikiki Beach from above. They had taken motion sickness medication, but my grandson felt unwell and ended up vomiting, so I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much.
娘と孫が体験しました。最初は不安だったようですが、飛んでみると上空から見るワイキキビーチがとても美しかったと感激してました。酔い止めの薬を飲んでいたのですが、孫が気分が悪くなりもどしたようで、ご迷惑をおかけしました。ありがとうございました
We participated in parasailing at the request of my high school son. We traveled for about 10 minutes on a boat that rocked quite a bit to reach the point where we would do it. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. We chose to go up to 120 meters. Although I'm not great with heights, the feeling of exhilaration outweighed the fear! The view of Waikiki and the blue ocean from 120 meters was breathtaking!
高校生の息子の希望でパラセーリングに参加しました。ボートに激しく揺られて10分ほど移動したポイントでやります。船酔いする人は酔い止め必須です。私達は120mの高さにしました。高いところは苦手な方ですが、怖いよりも気持ちいい‼︎ の方が勝ります。120mの高さから見るワイキキと青い海は感動ものでした!
I can't forget the parasailing experience I had in Okinawa, so I decided to try it again this time.
However, the boat going out to sea was very rocky, and despite taking motion sickness medication, my daughter ended up vomiting... Other passengers also got sick, and by the time we were ready to fly, everyone was feeling groggy.
Flying was somewhat fun, but it felt overshadowed by that experience.
Also, for some reason, the parasailing had a pirate theme (laughs).
We bought some photos and took our own, but when imagining those colorful things...
沖縄で体験したパラセイリングが忘れられず、今回も挑戦。
ただ、この日は沖に出る船がとても揺れ、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにも関わらず娘はおう吐してしまった・・・
他の乗客も酔ってしまって飛ぶまでの間にみんなグロッキー。
飛ぶのはそれなりに楽しかったけど、それよりも・・・という感じになってしまった。
あとは、なぜかパラセイリングが海賊の絵(笑)
写真を購入したり、自分達でも撮ったのだけどあのカラフルなものを想像していると・・・
Sea was bit choppy and felt bit sick by the end of boat ride. But Parasail was great!
My 5-year-old grandson participated alone, and there were three other American boys, but it was perfectly fine. Even though he didn't understand English, the staff kindly supported him, and in just an hour and a half, he was very satisfied! It might be more affordable compared to other programs?
5歳の孫(男の子)が一人で参加し、他は3人のアメリカの男の子でしたが、十分大丈夫。英語がわからなくてもSTAFFが優しくサポートしてくれて、あっという魔の1時間半で本人も大満足!他のプログラムに比べて割安かも?
アロハ、

Mahalo from Dolphin Quest Oahu!
I experienced this with my wife and child. The marine blue sea and Diamond Head were very beautiful. There were three groups of tour guests, all of whom were Japanese. We were also able to take photos. It was a lifelong memory.
妻と子供の二人で体験をしました。
マリンブルーの海とダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもキレイでした。
ツアー客は三組で、みんな日本人でした。写真も撮ってもらえました。
一生の思い出です。
This year, we participated in outrigger canoeing for the second time as a family of four, following last year. This time, there were waves, and it was very exciting. For those who haven't tried it yet... I highly recommend it!
昨年に引き続き、2度目のアウトリガーカヌーを家族4人で参加。今回は波もありとても迫力ありました。まだやった事ない方…お薦めですよ~!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We look forward to your third participation!
5つ星の口コミ、ありがとうございました!3度目のご参加をお待ちしております!
We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.
It was our first surfing lesson, and with the instructor encouraging the whole family to "paddle! paddle!" we were able to stand on the board. Carrying the board was surprisingly hard, and paddling also took a lot of energy, so we had plenty of fun in an hour and a half. We were also happy to receive cute T-shirts!
はじめてのサーフィンレッスンでしたが、家族全員、先生に「パドル!パドル!」と言われながら押してもらうことで、ボードに立つことが出来ました♥
ボードの運搬などが、意外とハードで、パドリングも体力を使うので、一時間半で充分楽しめました。
可愛いTシャツも嬉しかったです\(^-^)/
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the lesson. We are all delighted that you were able to stand up on your first surfing experience and had a great time. Surfing is a more challenging sport than it looks, but the thrill of standing up is something you can't experience anywhere else. We look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
MAHALO!
Aloha,
この度はレッスンへのご参加ありがとうざいます。
初めてのサーフィンで立つことが出来て、楽しい時間を過ごして頂けてスタッフ一同嬉しく思います。
サーフィンは見た目よりもハードなスポーツですが、立てた時の快感は他では味わえないので、
ハワイへいらっしゃった際はまたのお越しをお待ちしてます。
MAHALO!
I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful. I didn't expect much from the sandwiches, but they were surprisingly delicious.
I was prepared for the cold, so I brought a thick bath towel and a jacket.
ウミガメも見られたし、サンドバーはとても綺麗でした。
サンドイッチも期待していませんでしたが意外と美味しかったです。
寒いのは覚悟していたので厚手のバスタオルと上着を持っていきました。
My BF & I were looking for something just like this since it had been many years since we both went snorkeling. Our guides were friendly, prompt, and knew what they were doing. They provided all the equipment and snacks for later. They made it very easy and it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend and use them again! Oh and they allow you to dl the photos they take for free!!
Hi Sarah, glad you guys had a fun time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.
We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.
