I was able to see a lot of dolphins.
I could hear their voices, and I felt like I wanted to watch them forever.
The staff were cheerful and kind, so I never felt bored on the boat.
After seeing the dolphins, I was able to borrow a kayak without any additional charge, and the cheeseburger was delicious, leaving me very satisfied.
I love turtles, so I wished I could have seen a few more turtles...
I resonated with the staff's spirit of cherishing dolphins and nature.
I definitely want to participate again.
Staff member J is surprisingly handsome☆ He teaches a cheerful dance at the end☆
イルカにたくさん会えました。
声が聞こえて、いつまでも見ていたい気持ちでした。

イルカを見た後は、追加料金なしでカヤックなども借りれて

わたしは亀がだいすきなのでもうすこし亀を見ていたかったのですが、、

From the moment the boat set sail, dolphins began to come alongside us one after another. They swam slowly with us, and I was able to meet many dolphins, which made me extremely satisfied! It was so healing.
At first, you might think this tour is a bit pricey when you sign up, but I believe it's worth participating!
On the way to the harbor, we had breakfast at Leonard's with their famous malasadas, and not only did we swim with dolphins in the ocean, but we also got to swim with sea turtles and snorkel in a place that felt like a dragon palace! We also had the chance to kayak. And just when we were getting tired, we enjoyed freshly made cheeseburgers.
The breeze felt nice, the scenery was amazing, and it was a truly healing moment.
All the staff were wonderful! (^^)
I want to make this a regular event whenever I go to Hawaii.
船が出港して間もない頃から、
次々とイルカが船のそばに来てくれました。
一緒に泳ぎだしてからもゆっくり泳いでくれて、
たくさんのイルカと会うことができて大満足!!
癒されまくりです。
このツアーは、申し込む段階ではちょっと高いかな?
と思いがちですが、参加して損はないと思います!
港までの道のりでレナーズのマサラダで朝食、
海ではイルカだけでなくウミガメとも泳げて、
龍宮城のようなところでシュノーケリング!
カヤックもさせて頂きました。
そして疲れた頃に焼きたてのチーズバーガー◎
風も気持ちいいし、景色も最高で癒しのひと時でした。

The bus ride from Waikiki to the venue was entertaining. During the journey, there was a brief explanation of the activities at the venue. Unfortunately, Japanese language support is not to be expected. There was a slight issue upon entry, but when I communicated my concerns to the bus staff, they responded immediately. I was able to interact with other participants and even experience hula dancing on stage (for those who wished to participate), which became a wonderful memory. The food was not just "something basic," but rather delicious. I think it would be nice to be able to give a tip smoothly when getting off the bus on the way back (though it is not required, it's a nice gesture).
ワイキキから会場へ向かうバスの中から、エンターテイメントでした。移動中、会場での行動説明が軽くありました。
残念ながら、日本語は期待できません。
入場時に少々のトラブルがありましたが、バスの担当の方に困っている旨を伝えると、すぐに対応してくれました。
他の参加者とも交流できたり、(希望者参加の)ステージでのフラダンスを体験したり、いい思い出になりました。
お料理も「こんな程度のもの」ではなく、美味しいものでした。
帰りのバスの降りがけにスマートにチップを渡せるといいと思います(要求はされませんが気持ちで)。

This was my second time snorkeling with wild dolphins and sea turtles. During my first experience at a different location, the instructions were not clear, and I ended up swallowing seawater at the beginning, which was quite frustrating. However, I really wanted to see dolphins, so I decided to try at "Dolphin University." The staff were kind and friendly, which made the experience very enjoyable. Dolphins swam right below me, and sea turtles gracefully glided beneath as well. When I fed them a little bread, the yellow fish came close and touched my hand, which was adorable. The weather was perfect too. I will definitely come back when I visit Hawaii again.
2回目の野生のイルカとウミガメシュノーケル
初回は、違うところで体験したのですが、説明がきちんとなく、始めの方は海水飲んだりと散々でした。
でもイルカが見たくって、『イルカ大学』でチャレンジ

真下をイルカが通り、海亀も真下で優雅に泳いでいました。

I thought I was able to see a very high-quality hula dance. However, since the entire performance was in English, I was left confused, caught up in the excitement around me. I think it would be a very enjoyable tour for those who are fluent in English.
However, the process of receiving drinks and food turned into a long line, which took up a lot of time. It was a very disappointing situation.

I asked my kids which activity was their favorite and they agreed that, other than surfing, this was it. The bus trip to the cove was hysterical, our guide was so wonderfully engaging and entertaining. I never thought that listening to people singing Old Macdonalds Farm could be so funny. The activities were great and the sun setting into the cove at the perfect time was idyllic. A great day.

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.
At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.
As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!
Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!
The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.
Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆
After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.
And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆
The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).
When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.
In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).
As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!
It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆
現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。
初めは日本人だけかと思いきや、欧米の方達も色々いて、

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.
イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の4にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

Enjoyed the evening with our family of 3 teenagers. We played the games and felt encouraged by the staff, did the hula, watched most of the shows. However, we missed the main ceremony because we were doing something else at the time. They had the conch shell sound for each event but did not verbally announce it therefore we missed it which was disappointing. The food and dinner show were wonderful. We drove ourselves and the place was easy to find.

The reviews were very good, so I might have had too high expectations, but it was just okay. The bus guide's stories were certainly interesting, but they weren't "hilarious" or anything, just average. However, the attention to participants was wonderful; they celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, and even during free time, they kept track of everyone's activities and mentioned them later. I was also surprised by how smoothly the staff worked together. I didn't think the food was delicious, but since I didn't have high expectations, it was within an acceptable range. I was hoping for something a bit more spiritual from the show, but it felt more commercial. This is just my personal opinion.
We lived in the United States until the year before last and have participated in many such shows and dinners, so I might have been a bit harsh in my evaluation compared to others... I apologize.
However, I think for first-timers or those who don't often have the opportunity to experience different cultures, it would be a fresh and enjoyable event.
レビューの評価がとても良く期待し過ぎたせいかも知れませんが、まあまあという感じでした。バスガイドさんの話は勿論面白かったものの「大爆笑」というほどではなく普通でした。ただ、参加者への心配りは素晴らしく、誕生日や記念日を祝ったり、自由行動の際も全員の行動を把握していて後で言及したり。スタッフ同士の連携の円滑さにも驚きました。料理は美味しいとは思いませんでしたが、期待もしていなかったので許容範囲。ショーはもう少しスピリチュアルなものを期待していたけれど、コマーシャルな印象を受けました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが。
私共は一昨年までアメリカに住んでいて、このようなショーやディナーに多く参加しているので、他とも比較して、評価が少し辛口になってしまったかも・・・すみません。
多分、初めての人や日ごろ異文化にあまり触れる機会のない人にとっては、新鮮で楽しいイベントだと思います。

Let me just say, I took a chance. I heard it was expensive, cheesy, and basically over-rated. BUT, I also heard if you do decide to do a luau, do Paradise Cove, and go all out with the Deluxe package... They were right!! (lol, PC should pay me for this review...)
As a young couple in our 20's.... WE HAD A BLAST. They do a great job making you feel special with the deluxe package: shorter lines, extra drink tickets, souvenir gifts, and we had the VERY FRONT seats (regular tickets put you WAY in the back)!!! Totally worth the extra money to be right in front and have table service (no waiting in long lines for the buffet)... The food was better than expected, drinks were...pretty. The dancing/show was what was expected-
but what we both agreed on what made PC special was the cove!!!! It was stunning, and the view is everything i imagined Oahu to be. We went on our 2nd night, and it was very romantic!!! When we went on the little canoe ride they offer, WE SAW A GREEN SEA TURTLE!!!

We had never been to a luau so we had nothing to compare this to. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The entertainment and activities before and after the meal were great, fun and appropriate for all age groups.
The taste and quality of food was good. The amount was plentiful. The alcoholic beverages that came with the VIP ticket was plentiful, although not very strong.
We bought the VIP package so that we wouldn't have to stand in line for the buffet. We went at a slow time in February (about 350 people) so it wasn't bad, but I would definitely recommend the VIP package in the peak season.
The lei and photos were very nice.
The fun didn't stop when we left the luau. The Paradise Cove tour guide sent to pick us up was fantastic. In the way to the luau we got to know the other people on our bus. We became a family of "cousins." On the way back we had music and humor based on our shared experiences. Our tour guide even played his ukulele and serenaded us. I didn't want to get off

There was an option to purchase photo data taken by the staff, and I signed up for it, but after returning home, I thought it might have been better to just stick with the photos we took ourselves. The slideshow included photos from other participants for $75, so... (In the end, I found that creating my own slideshow with just our photos turned out better.)

I really wanted to swim with dolphins, so I considered various options, including theme parks, but I chose this one because it had so much to offer.
On the day of the tour, the sea was quite rough, and many people got seasick. I felt scared at first, but the photographer, Shera, smiled and said, "The captain is a veteran, so there's nothing to worry about!" This eased my tension, and I ended up having fun with the other participants. Thankfully, I was able to meet the dolphins without feeling seasick. They performed front flips and spin jumps right in front of me, and I was so impressed!!!
It seems that this was the only tour where I could swim with dolphins that day. This was all thanks to the veteran Captain Papa and the other staff who patiently searched for them. By the way, we also got to see a whale's tail and a jump.
I hope the sea is a bit calmer next time...
For those participating, I recommend preparing for seasickness and the cold. I think the best way to combat seasickness is to chat and have fun with the people around you!
とにかくイルカと泳ぎたくて、テーマパークも含めいろいろ検討しましたが、内容が盛りだくさんだったので、こちらを選びました。
当日は、結構海が荒れていて、船酔いする人も続出。
私も最初は怖さを感じていたのですが、カメラマンのSheraさんが「キャプテンはベテランだから怖がらなくて全然大丈夫!」と笑顔で言ってくれたことで緊張が解け、その後は他の参加者とはしゃいでいました。
そして、船酔いと無縁のまま、イルカに出会うことができました。
目の前でフロントフリップやスピンジャンプを見せてくれて、大感激!!!
この日海に入り、イルカと泳げたのはここのツアーだけだったようです。
これもベテランのキャプテンパパさんや他のスタッフのおかげです!本当に根気強く探してくれました。
ちなみに、クジラのおしりとジャンプも見られました。
次回はもうちょい海が穏やかだったらいいなぁ。。。
参加する方には、船酔い対策と寒さ対策をしておくことをお勧めします。一番の船酔い対策は、周りの人とたくさんおしゃべりをして、はしゃいじゃうことだと思います!

Wild Dolphin and Sea Turtle Snorkeling - Luxurious! Prestigious Dolphin University! (Oahu)
I participated on New Year's Eve this time, but the sea was rough... the boat was swaying... both my partner and I ended up feeling unwell (many others were also feeling sick).
However! Even in rough seas, there were good things, like the humpback whales performing spectacular high jumps!!! They jumped quite close to us, which was very exciting!
Unfortunately, there was no duet swim with dolphins as originally intended, as mentioned on the website and in the information; we only saw the pilot whales swimming from the boat.
At the end, we returned to the cove to play a bit, and the cheeseburgers that came out during that time might have been the best part... (I did jump into the rough sea once, but I didn't encounter any dolphins and felt like a passenger escaping from a sinking ship...)
The captain and the staff were very fun and nice people, so I didn't have any unpleasant experiences, and it was enjoyable. However, since we couldn't achieve the original goal, I give it three stars.

We had a great time with our kids aged 6 and 8 - we could go on all rides - except our 6 year old was not tall enough for a few. Tornado was great - so was the Shaka. Raging River was our favourite family ride. Wave pool was fun too. No lineups - so we went full on for 4 hours. $240 for our family for the 4 hours seemed like a lot though - not including lunch. Nice change of pace from Waikiki though.

It was quite interesting!! We participated as a couple, and in Hawaii, which has a lot of Japanese people, I finally felt like I was overseas! Among the tour participants, I noticed that there were only a handful of Japanese people, and we communicated in English from start to finish! I think it's a must for those who can speak English, want to speak, are practicing, or want to immerse themselves in the feeling of being abroad!! The food was delicious, and as everyone has mentioned, the content was very fulfilling, but what I found particularly interesting was the bus guide's stories during the bus rides☆ Please join and experience it for yourself!
かなり面白かったです!! カップルで参加したのですが、日本人の多いハワイで、やっと海外に来た気分になりました! ツアー客の中で見たところ日本人はおよそ片手で数えられる人数しかおらず、最初から最後までずっと英語でのコミュニケーションでした! 英語が話せる人、話したい人、練習中の人、海外に来た気分に浸りたい人は必見だと思います!! 料理も美味しく、内容も皆さんが書いておられるようにとても充実したものですが、その中でも特に面白かったのは、行き帰りのバスの中での『バスガイドさんの話』でした☆ ぜひ、参加して体験してみてください!
