I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! イルカとウミガメを見ることができました！

Reviewed by: ぽぽこ

Thanks to the energetic guide and photographer, I had a great time. I was really glad to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. The sea is really cold at this time of year, so the wetsuit rental costs $10 per person, but it's definitely worth it. In fact, almost everyone rented one. Even with the wetsuit on, I felt cold when I got out of the water.

I gave up on marine sports because it was too cold to feel like going into the water.

It seems the grill for cooking the hamburger patties was broken, so I couldn't eat the hamburgers cooked by the captain, but I was able to enjoy delicious hamburgers from a hamburger shop on the bus ride back.

Honestly, I felt that the final hula dance was unnecessary.

元気なガイドさんとカメラマンさんのおかげで楽しめました。
イルカとウミガメを目の前で見ることができてよかったと思います。
この時期の海は本当に寒いのでウェットスーツは1人10ドルかかりますが、絶対借りた方が良いです。
実際にほぼ全員がレンタルしていました。
ウェットスーツを着ていても海から上がると寒かったくらいです。

マリンスポーツは、寒くて海に入る気がおきず、諦めました。

ハンバーガーの肉を焼くグリルが故障してしまったらしく、船長が焼くハンバーガーを食べることはできませんでしたが、帰りのバスでハンバーガーショップの美味しいハンバーガーをいただくことができました。

ただ正直最期のフラダンスはいらなかったかなぁという感じです。

I had heard from the guide that it might take some time to see wildlife, but we spotted dolphins right after departing from the port. We got ready for snorkeling and entered the water, where we were able to see dolphins swimming quite close to us. Additionally, at the snorkeling point, we also saw sea turtles swimming relatively nearby. It was a lucky tour, and I was very satisfied.

野生のものを見に行くので、すぐに見れるか分からないをガイドさんから聞いていたが、港から出港してすぐイルカを発見。シュノーケルの準備して海へ入って、結構近くをイルカが泳ぐのを見ることが出来た。

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Hawaii Dreamin'

Reviewed by: Sarah

There is no better way to experience Hawaii, than out on its beautiful, indescribable blue waters. After doing a bit of research, I knew I wanted to go snorkeling on the west side of the island. I also snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, but there is zero comparison. Two completely different experiences. Sailing out of the harbor, on the beautiful catamaran, with the wind in your hair, onto the sparkling water, a stunning, panoramic view of the majestic mountains behind you, with three fabulous hours of yet unknown adventures ahead of you---well, what more can you ask for? Our time on this tour was great. It went by entirely too fast. But every minute was wonderful. We saw more dolphins than we could count. Had great visibility while snorkeling. Saw many different types of fish and marine life. All under the skillful supervision of the awesome crew. Also, the boat was not overly crowded, which was terrific. Plenty of room to move about and to have a good seat. The food and drinks were perfect. I just wish it was twice as long. And honestly, next time we go back, I will probably go more than once. It's simply the best way to experience the magic of Hawaii. PS. I booked through Hawaii Activities.com and I believe the company name is also Hawaii Nautical. No matter which you book it, it's completely worth it!

Reviewed by: Angel

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!

During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.

Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.

I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.

The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.

I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。

私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません！ 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。

キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。

海も船もこわくなくなりました！

Second time. 2回目

I had a great time last time, so I made a reservation again this time. Last time it was just my husband and me, but this time I participated with my mother and a friend, making it four of us.

My mother, who is in her 50s, also challenged herself on the slides! There are many slides that adults can enjoy as well. It might be better to wear a type of flip-flop that doesn't come off easily (the kind that holds your foot) so you don't have to keep taking them off.

The lockers allow for easy access, so you can enjoy yourself without carrying your belongings. You can also reapply sunscreen during your visit. There are changing rooms available, but it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath beforehand so you can start having fun right away.

前回行って楽しかったので、今回も予約しました。前回は夫婦2人。今回は母と友人と4人で参加しました。
50代の母もスライダーに挑戦！大人でも楽しめるスライダーが多いです。脱げないタイプのビーサン（ホールドするやつ）の方がいちいち脱がなくて済むので、よいかも。
ロッカーは出し入れ自由なので荷物を持たずに楽しめます。途中で日焼け止めの塗り直しなども可能です。
更衣室もありますが、事前に下に水着を着用してきたほうがすぐ楽しめます。

Reviewed by: miiiiii

They came to pick us up by bus, but it was incredibly cold. We managed to cope with parkas and bath towels. We went as two women, and the bus seats were spacious, allowing us to relax and take a nap.

We couldn't bring in bottled drinks like juice or tea. The Japanese staff kindly said, "We'll give them to you on the way back, and we'll make sure you can drink during the trip." When we went to pick up our things on the way back, they had stored them in the refrigerator for us.

Unlike in Japan, the pool allowed cameras, flip-flops, cell phones, hats, and sunglasses on the slides! There were many families with children, but adults can have plenty of fun too!

The food isn't very promising. The price for a hamburger set is $9.99, which is reasonable, but it's best to go at a different time because there are long lines during lunch hours. I waited in line for a little over an hour.

I definitely want to go again! However, the lockers are quite expensive at $18, and you don't get your money back. That's equivalent to about 1900 yen, which is a level you wouldn't pay in Japan.

バスで迎えに来てくださるんですが、とてつもなく寒いです。パーカーやバスタオルでしのぎました。女二人で行きましたが、バスの席もゆったりしていて、のんびりうたた寝出来ました。
ジュースやお茶などのペットボトルは持ち込めないです。日本のスタッフさんが「帰りにお渡ししますし、途中も飲めるようにしておきますね」とかなり親切にしてくださいました。帰りに預けたものを取りに行くと、冷蔵庫に入れて保管してくれていました。
プールも日本と違ってカメラ、ビーサン、ケータイ、帽子、サングラスつけたままのスライダーがOKでした！
子連れの方が多くいますが、大人でも充分はしゃげますし楽しいです！
食べ物はあまり期待できません。
値段はハンバーガーセットが$9.99なので、まずまずですが、時間をずらすといいですがお昼時はかなーーーり並びます。私は1時間少し並びました。
また行きたい！ってなります！
ただロッカーは大$18とかなり高いです。お金も帰って来ません。日本円だと１９００円相当、、、日本だと借りないレベルです。

Encounter with dolphins and turtles イルカとカメとの遭遇

Reviewed by: T&C

I had never seen dolphins in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in this tour. We set off early in the morning, heading to the west coast of Oahu, a place I had never been before. The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful.

During the three snorkeling sessions, we tried to find a pod of dolphins in the first and second sessions, and we encountered dolphins in the first session. I was moved to see a pod of dolphins with a baby. In the second session, my husband and I missed the chance to see dolphins because we were late to jump into the water from the boat.

The third session was a visit to a sea turtle habitat. Because we knew the right spots, we quickly encountered three sea turtles. I had seen turtles before in Hanauma Bay and on sandbar tours, but I had never met such large turtles as these. It was fun to swim while being rocked by the waves.

Due to certain circumstances, there was no lunch on the boat, but since the boat was quite rocky, it was a good decision to eat after returning to the port. I think it's better for those who are worried about seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.

Although it was a short time, it was a fun tour where we also challenged ourselves to stand-up paddleboarding on the sea. Additionally, having a Japanese guide accompany us from the shuttle bus to the sea provided a sense of security. If I have the opportunity, I would like to enroll in the manta ray university on the Big Island.

ハワイでイルカを見た事が無かったので参加しました。
早朝から出発し、向かったのは今まで行ったことが無かったオワフ島の西海岸。
天気は曇りでしたが、海は綺麗でした。

計３回のシュノーケリングのうち１回目と２回目はイルカの群れを探してトライしますが、１回目でイルカに遭遇。
赤ちゃん連れのイルカの群れを見れて感動しました。
２回目は船から海に飛び込む順番が遅かったので、私たち夫婦はイルカを見る事が出来ませんでした。

３回目はウミガメの家を見学です。
ポイントを把握されてるせいで直ぐに３匹のウミガメに遭遇。
今までハナウマ湾やサンドバー・ツアーでカメを見た事はありましたが、ここほど大きなカメに出会った事はありませんでした。
一緒に波に揺られながら泳げて楽しかったです。

諸事情で船上ランチはありませんでしたが、船の揺れが多かったので、港に戻ってから食べて正解でした。
船酔いが心配な方は酔い止め薬を持参した方が良いと思います。

短い時間でしたが、海上でのＳＵＰにもチャレンジしたり楽しいツアーでした。
また、日本人のガイドさんが送迎バスから海まで同行してるので安心感もありました。
機会があれば、ハワイ島のマンタ大学にも入学してみたいと思います。

I swam with dolphins! イルカと泳げた！

Reviewed by: tak

After boarding, we quickly found dolphins and were able to swim with them. The dolphins swam around us several times without fear of humans, which was amazing. I was very satisfied to capture videos with an underwater camera.

After enjoying the dolphins, we went to another spot for snorkeling. The water there was murky, and we couldn't see many fish. There were a few fish around the coral, but they were few in number.

In addition to snorkeling, we could also play with inflatables, paddles, and kayaks, but for us, who were mainly focused on the dolphins, these were unnecessary. In fact, I wished we could have spent more time with the dolphins we found.

In conclusion, I thought that since Dolphin University is so active, perhaps activities other than dolphins are unnecessary. However, I was satisfied as we achieved our goal!

乗船後、イルカを探してすぐに見つかり、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカも人間を恐れて逃げるということ無く、私たちの周りを何度も泳いでました。水中カメラで動画も撮れてとても満足です。
イルカを堪能した後に別のポイントへ行きシュノーケルをしました。そちらは海水が濁っておりあまり魚もよく見えませんでした。珊瑚の周りにいくらか魚がいましたが少数でした。
シュノーケル以外にも、浮き輪やパドル、カヤックなどでも遊べましたが、イルカがメインの私たちには不要でした。むしろ、せっかく見つけたイルカともっと一緒にいられる時間が欲しかったです。
結論として、イルカ大学というアクティブなので、イルカ以外は不要なのでは？と思いましたが、目的は果たせたので満足です！

I first visited in November 2017 and returned again in October 2018. This time, things seemed different; it looked like the number of cast members had significantly decreased. Even after huffing and puffing up the stairs to the slide, I encountered closed signs (crying). This happened frequently, which made it hard to enjoy myself. The morning pickup was also about 30 minutes late, and I felt that the price for four and a half hours was a bit high. It was disappointing that the children's slide was closed as well.

Overall, it was disappointing.

In the early morning, we headed to the port for pickup. The staff talked continuously on the bus, providing various announcements along the way.

At the port, we took care of our restroom needs, but there were few toilets, resulting in a long line for women. However, there are restrooms on the boat, so no worries there.

As soon as we boarded, we sang something like a Hawaiian song and offered plumeria to the sea. We were able to see quite a few dolphins close to the port, and we could even hear their voices, which was very satisfying.

I was also pleased to see many large turtles.

After coming back from the sea, snacks were provided, but it seemed a bit different from what was described. On the way back, many people were tired and sleeping, but we were woken up for a dance that was labeled as hula... it was just regular dancing, not hula at all. I was also surprised that due to a stove malfunction, a chain restaurant's burgers were served. I was like, "Huh? This?"

While I was very satisfied with the many encounters with turtles and dolphins, the rest was a bit lacking, so I rated it as average.

Reviewed by: いのろここ

This was my fifth time on Oahu. I had previously avoided the typical Japanese-oriented optional tours because I dislike being forced to do things (laughs). However, I wanted to see dolphins in their natural habitat, so I decided to sign up.

The pickup was early in the morning, around 5 AM. I thought there were surprisingly few pickup locations, but I believe adding more stops would only waste time.

I was greeted by energetic staff and we headed to West Oahu, taking about an hour to reach the port of Nanakuli, which is the hometown of former sumo wrestler Konishiki. During the bus ride, the staff kept the energy up with lively conversation, and they also explained some important points along the way.

Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and headed to the dolphin viewing point, which was surprisingly close to the port. Before we got there, we chanted the Hawaiian song "E HO MAI" while offering plumeria flowers to the sea. The lyrics were provided, so it was no problem.

After that, we entered the water at the dolphin point, and it wasn't long before the dolphins appeared. The staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins swimming beneath us, jumping nearby, and communicating with their squeaks. We were able to see them multiple times!

After the dolphins, we moved to Makaha to observe the honu (sea turtles). That day, we were lucky enough to see seven large honu! After getting back on the boat, we headed home, and finally, snacks and drinks were provided. It’s better to eat breakfast before going, as the drinks offered were just bottled water and small juices, so if you need to stay hydrated, you might want to bring your own.

There was supposed to be hula as mentioned in the itinerary, but it was just a regular dance (laughs). I felt a bit surprised to be woken up for that while many people were tired and sleeping.

Normally, they serve burgers grilled on the boat, but due to a grill malfunction, we were given burgers from a well-known chain on the bus ride back. Honestly, I was a bit taken aback (laughs).

I was very satisfied with the number of dolphins and honu we saw, but I still dislike tours that force everyone to enjoy together, and even though there were unavoidable reasons for the food situation, it felt a bit lacking, so I rated it four stars. There were no issues with communication, as Japanese was spoken fluently.

Additionally, we received an eco bag for participating. It was quite useful in Hawaii, where you have to buy shopping bags, but I thought it was inconvenient that you have to go to the Dolphin University office in Waikiki to pick it up after the tour.

船から上がったら帰路へ。その間にやっとバーとスナックとジュースが提供されますので、朝ごはんは食べて行くのがベターです。
ちなみに提供されるドリンクはペットボトルのお水と小さなジュースだけなので、水分を沢山取られる方が持参が必要かも。
途中、旅程表で書かれていたフラがありましたが・・・
普通にダンスです（笑）
疲れて寝ている人が多い中で起こされてこれ？という感じを受けました。

通常は船上で焼いたバーガーが提供されるようですが今回はコンロの故障のため、帰りのバスの中で某有名チェーンバーガーが提供されました。
正直、え？と思いました・・・（笑）

イルカとホヌは沢山観れたので大変満足ですが、
日本人向けのみんなで楽しみましょう！を強制するツアーがやはり苦手なのと
食の部分がやむ負えない理由があったにせよちょっと貧弱だったので違和感を感じ、星４つにしました。
日本語がバリバリ使えるので困ることはありません。

あと、参加したら頂けるエコバック。
買い物袋を購入しなくてはいけないハワイでは結構活用して便利でしたが、
ツアー参加後にワイキキのイルカ大学事務所へ行かないと頂けないのが不便だと思いました。

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

I had a great time! I want to go again! とても楽しかったです！また行きたいです！

Reviewed by: ぽぽちゃん

I was very satisfied because there isn't a large water park in my area. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the beach, but I was able to enjoy a different kind of fun.
I attended with my mother, but I got the impression that there were many couples. I felt a bit awkward sharing a four-person slide with couples. Haha.
However, I was disappointed that the water slide I was looking forward to was closed for maintenance or due to a malfunction, so that's something I'll regret. Therefore, I would like to come back here again when I visit Hawaii!

私の住んでる地域には大きいプールパークが無く、とても満足しました。ハワイと言えばビーチですが、いつもと違った楽しみ方ができました。
私は母と参加しましたが、カップルが多い印象を受けました。4人乗りのスライダーでカップルと一緒になるのはなんだか申し訳ない気がしました。笑
ただ、楽しみにしていたウォータースライダーが点検や故障でやっていなかったので、そこが心残りです。なので、ハワイに行った際はまたここに遊びにきたいと思います！

I felt healed. 癒されました

Reviewed by: ふなばし

Seven years ago, I wanted to participate in the Dolphin University, but I gave up on joining the tour because I thought there was no guarantee of seeing them in the wild. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and signed up this time.

Saki-chan, Nana-chan, and all the staff worked very hard to ensure that everyone could encounter dolphins. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, I was able to see both dolphins and turtles. The dolphins were adorable, and I had a long time with the turtles, which was very healing.

The staff's constant energy also lifted my spirits and made it fun. Thank you so much. It became a wonderful memory.

7年前にイルカ大学に参加したいと思ったけど、相手は自然なので見れる保証が無いと思いツアー参加は諦めていました。
しかし、この度思い切って申し込みして良かったです。
参加した全員がイルカと遭遇出来る様に、さきちゃん、ななちゃん、スタッフの皆様はとても一生懸命でした。ありがとうございました。
お陰様でイルカも亀も見れました。
イルカも可愛かったし、亀との時間は長くとれてとても癒されました。
スタッフの皆様がずっと元気なのが、こちらもテンションがあがって楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。
記念になりました。

Oahu's Best ATV Adventure Ride & Thrilling Zipline Tour Combo - Coral Crater Adventure Park

Epic day of adventure for my girlfriend and I!

Reviewed by: Mike

We had a blast at Coral Crater! We booked the ultimate package that included zipline, tower,and ATV and it was so worth it! The day started off zip-lining. We had zip-lined at a few other places here which I remember being somewhat bored. This wasn't the case here. The lines fly through the tree top and it definitely felt a lot faster than our previous zip tour. No one got stuck on the lines because you go more than fast enough! I wish I was able to post some of the video here! After zip-lining we had a much needed hour break for lunch before the tower activity. It does get very hot as the adventure park is literally built into a crater and is protected from the wind. Taking a break to cool off and drink lots of water was very nice. The tower was a ton of fun, some obstacles were pretty easy while others were fairly challenging. I am not a climber so being up in the air really took me out of my comfort zone which made even the simple obstacles exciting! The safety equipment they use is top notch, high-end gear, so when you do fall you can rest easy knowing that you are safe.There was a 3rd grade boy in the group who was flying through the course, his parents (not old) could barely keep up! So its safe to say this great for kids. The most intimidating part is the "freefall" from 70 ft using the auto-belay device.It looks terrifying but is actually pretty fun. The climbing wall was a lot of fun also. We all got to take as many attempts as we wanted. I made it up to the bell both times I went and was exhausted after that. The final activity was ATVs. These are not normal ATVs, they are custom 800cc v-twin mid-engine off-road machines. I had a blast drifting and sliding the ATV around. I got the ATV almost sideways multiple times and at one point we almost hit 30MPH! This is not a slow, sightseeing ATV ride, so do not expect that. Driving skill will play a role in how exciting this ATV is. If you want to tear up the trail and get dirty, these are the ATVs to do it on!

I had a great time! とても楽しめましたp(^-^)q

The day after arriving in Hawaii, we participated in a tour. It was my 4-year-old daughter, my 6-year-old son, my mother in her 60s, my husband, and me, a group of five. We were picked up at 5:30 AM, but thanks to the time difference, we had no trouble joining.

Our tour consisted only of Japanese participants. I wondered if only Japanese people make reservations for this tour. On the bus ride there, the guide provided fun explanations about the tour and information about Waikiki, and before we knew it, we had arrived. My son and daughter caught up on some much-needed sleep on the bus before boarding the boat.

This was my first time in Hawaii in September, and I didn't expect it to be so hot, but the temperature was just right for swimming. However, if you're feeling uncertain, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit. By the way, my mother and my son and daughter rented one. You must wear a life jacket, which also increases buoyancy, so I recommend it for those who are not confident swimmers.

I was disappointed not to meet the dolphin teacher this time, but I was very satisfied to see many turtles and fish. The chance of not meeting the dolphin teacher is only about 10%, so it seems rare. However, since we didn't get to meet, the tour company offered us a nice perk: half off the photo fee or a free participation in the next dolphin school.

It was a conscientious tour, and I would love to participate again.

Thank you so much to all the tour guides. I thought it was a wonderful tour because they genuinely tried to entertain everyone, including couples, older guests, and small children. Thanks to them, the kids had a fantastic time. My son, who was initially reluctant, got used to the ocean and enjoyed himself. He especially loved paddle boarding with my husband.

ハワイ到着の次の日に参加しました。４才の娘、６才の息子、60代の母、旦那と私の５人で参加しました。早朝、５時半にピックアップでしたが時差ボケのため難なく参加出来ました。
私達は、日本人しかいないツアーでした。こちらは日本人しか予約しないのかな？と思います。行きのバスでは、ガイドの方がツアーの説明やワイキキの情報など楽しくお話しして頂きあっという間に到着しました。息子や娘は足りない睡眠をバスで少し補充して、船に乗りました。
９月のハワイは初めてでこんなに暑いとは思ってなかったのですが、海に入るのにちょうど良い温度でした。でも、もし不安な場合はウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかもしれないです。ちなみに母と息子や娘は借りました。ライフジャケットを必ず着けますが、浮力も増すので泳ぎに自信がない方にお勧めです。
今回は、イルカ先生に会えず残念でしたが亀先輩や魚たちにたくさん会えて大満足です。
イルカ先生に会えない確率はわずか10%で珍しいようです。でも会えなかったのでツアー側から、写真代半額や次回イルカ中学に参加無料など嬉しい特典をつけてくれました。
良心的なツアーでまた参加したいです。

ツアーガイドの皆さん本当にありがとうございました。
カップルでも年輩の方も連れてこられた旦那や小さい子でも本気で楽しませようとしてくれて素晴らしいツアーだなと思いました。
おかげで子供たちはすごく楽しめました。最初は嫌がっていた息子も海に慣れて楽しんでいました。特にパドルボードは旦那と二人でずっと乗って楽しんでいました。

It's really amazing... ホンマにすごいです･･･

Reviewed by: まつかぜ

The sea was rough from the morning... and there was a possibility of being sent back right after departure.

The waves were indeed a bit high, but we started looking for dolphins right away and spotted one ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
On the way, we encountered a sea turtle!!
It was actually a couple of sea turtles having their time (laughs).
Then we went for the second round of dolphin searching...

And we found them again!!

Moreover, they were in a group, which was an amazing sight ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

I really felt incredibly lucky, and it was so moving ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to participate!!

Honestly, I thought I was being tricked when I joined, but... it was amazing (laughs).

海は、朝から荒れ模様･･･
そのまま戻される可能性もありながらの出港

実際少し波は高かったけど･･･イルカを探し始めて直ぐにイルカ確認( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
に移動中には、ウミガメに遭遇！！
なんとウミガメのカップルタイムでした(笑)
そして2回戦目のイルカ探し･･･

またすぐ発見！！

しかも群れで、居たのですごい光景でしたよ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

ホンマに嘘みたいに運がよく、めちゃくちゃ感動しました( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

ハワイ行ったら是非参加しなくちゃですよ！！

いやホンマに騙されたと思って参加してみたら･･･
すごいよ(笑)

I was truly moved because I never expected to meet so many dolphins! Of course, I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles. I had a great experience, especially with a cheerful photographer accompanying us, which was worth more than the price. I felt the same excitement as when I touched a whale shark in Okinawa. I will definitely go back to meet the dolphins in Hawaii in a few years!

まさか、あんなに沢山のイルカに会えると思っていなかったので本当に感動しました❗
もちろん海亀にも遇えて大変満足しています。なかなか陽気なカメラマンさんとも同行できて値段以上の体験ができました
沖縄でジンベイザメに触った体験以来の感動を得られました
また何年かしたら必ずハワイのイルカに会いに行きます

A packed tour for beginners in marine activities, for better or worse. 良くも悪くもマリンアクティビティ初心者向けのてんこ盛りツアー

Reviewed by: Sho

I will share my experience from the perspective of an intermediate to advanced level diver who has participated in dolphin swim tours in various locations, holding a dive master certification.

- Good points:
A Japanese guide accompanies the tour. The day is packed with activities such as dolphin swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, hula experiences, a departure ceremony, and group photos, allowing for a lot of fun in just one day.

- Bad points:
The number of participants is too high (around 40 people), which creates a disparity between those who enter the water first and those who enter last, affecting the chances of seeing dolphins. It would likely be more satisfying with a maximum of about 15 people. I couldn't determine how close I could get to the dolphins, and while I was waiting near the pod, I was scolded harshly by the local staff for blocking their path. It seems that the only thing allowed is to float and observe from above, so those wanting to take photos should be cautious.

After coming out of the water, things get quite hectic, and you have to change in the restroom without being able to take a shower. (On diving shop boats in places like Okinawa, it's normal to have showers on board.) The lunch provided is not a bento but rather snacks and a drive-thru from Burger King, which is insufficient. Moreover, since you eat on the bus on the way back, the smell in the vehicle can make it difficult for those prone to motion sickness to eat. There is no dry area on the boat, so bags brought along can get wet. (At the very least, they could have put up a net on the ceiling to address this.) Given that there are many beginners, I think this is quite a significant downside. There were quite a few people who arrived with regular bags that ended up soaking wet.

ダイブマスター保有の、各地のドルフィンスイムツアーを十数回経験している中上級者視点から投稿します。
・良い点
日本語ガイドが同伴
ドルフィンスイム、SUPなどのマリンアクティビティ、フラ体験、出航セレモニー、集合写真など内容てんこ盛りで１日で楽しめる点

・悪い点
一回の人数が多すぎる（40人程度）ので、最初に入水した人と最後に入水した人で、イルカに会える人とそう出ない人が差が出る。（せいぜい15人くらいにした方が満足度が高いはず）
イルカにどこまで近づいていいのかが判断できず、ほかのドルフィンスイムのツアーのつもりで群れの近くまで潜って待機していたら現地スタッフに水上でこっぴどく怒られた。（進路を塞いだと判断された模様）上からぷかぷか眺めるくらいしか許されなそうなので、写真を撮りたい方は要注意。

海から上がった後がかなり慌ただしく、シャワーも浴びられないままトイレで着替えてバスになる必要がある。（沖縄などのダイビングショップの船は船内でシャワー浴びれるのが普通）
ランチがお弁当などではなく、スナックと、バーガーキングのドライブスルーなので少ない。しかも帰りのバスの中で食べるので車内の匂いもあり酔いやすい人は食べていなかった。
船上にドライエリアが用意されていないので、持ってきたバックなどが濡れる。（せめて天井にネットを張って対処するくらいはできるはず）初心者が多いにも関わらず、これはかなりのマイナスポイントと思います。普通のバックできてしまい、バックがびしょびしょになっている方が結構いました。
