We participated as a couple. The scenery was completely different from Honolulu, and even as beginners, we were kindly taught how to snorkel, which was a lot of fun. Above all, our guide Akima's talk was entertaining (laughs). He covered a wide range of topics, from the culture and legends of West Oahu to the flora and fauna of Hawaii, as well as life and money in Hawaii, so we were never bored during the drive. Also, the schedule was great. They dropped us off at the hotel before 3:00 PM, allowing us to enjoy some more activities afterward. I would love to request this again when I visit Hawaii!
夫婦で参加しました。ホノルルとは全く違う景色が見られ、シュノーケリングも初心者の我々でも親切に教えてもらい、とても楽しめました。そして何よりガイドのアキマさんのトークが面白かった(笑)。西オアフの文化、伝説、ハワイの動植物のことや、ハワイでの生活やお金のことまで、とにかく話題が幅広く、車中飽きることがありませんでした。あと、スケジュールも良かったです。15:00前にはホテルに送っていただけるので、そこからまたひと遊びできました。またハワイに行った際にはお願いしたいです!

It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.
雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。
Dear Norimaki,
Thank you for participating in the university tour. Normally, our captain grills burgers on board, but on the day you joined us, we were unable to serve freshly made burgers as the BBQ grill was out for repairs. Our staff feels regretful about this. We also apologize for the lack of explanation regarding the situation on that day. Currently, you can enjoy BBQ burgers on board every day, so please come back to meet the dolphins again! We look forward to seeing you.

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.
As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.
念願の初ハワイ!
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り?イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス?ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように!
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。
Thank you for joining the tour to swim with wild dolphins. We are glad to hear that you were able to experience the excitement of swimming with dolphins. We hope you will come back to experience summer in Hawaii next time. We look forward to seeing you!
野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。イルカと泳ぐ感動を味わっていただけたようで、私たちスタッフも嬉しいです。次回は、ぜひ夏のハワイも体験しにきてください。お待ちしております。

Until we boarded the boat, I was anxious about whether we would actually see the dolphins since they are wild. After preparing to enter the sea, we heard that there was a pod of dolphins, so we quickly jumped in and swam towards where the dolphins were. Some people were able to see them, but we couldn't see anything at all. I was tired and my legs felt heavy from the fins I was wearing for the first time, but we were encouraged by the tour guide's words, "Let's keep trying a little longer!" As we started swimming again, the dolphins began to swim towards us, and in no time, they were right in front of us. They quickly swam away, but then another pod came close, and I think we encountered about 100 dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly a wonderful experience, even better than I had imagined.
船に乗るまではイルカと泳ぐといっても 相手は野生なのでほんとに
見ることが出来るのか不安でした。
海に入る準備が出来てしばらくするとイルカの群れがいるとのことで
早速海に入りひたすらイルカのいる方を目指し泳ぎました。
でも 中には見れた人もいましたが 私達には全く見えなくて
初めて付けたフィンで足が重たく疲れてはいましたが
もう少し頑張りましょう!というツアーのおねーさんの言葉に励まされ
泳ぎだすと 今度はイルカ達がどんどん こちらに泳いで来て
あっという間に目の前をイルカ達が泳いでくれて すぐに行ってしまったけど

The day I participated was surprisingly rainy. It was also cold, but since it's nature, there's nothing you can do about it. Because of that, there were almost only Japanese tourists who had signed up for the tour. The slides were available to use as much as we wanted, but many of them were closed in the afternoon, which was disappointing. The bodyboard lesson was not really a lesson; it was more about having the wave pool to ourselves to use the bodyboards. The Shaka slide was the scariest, and I hit my backside hard. Kids ended up scraping their bottoms, so please be careful. I wasn't expecting much from the BBQ, but it was tastier than I thought. The beef was tender as well. Next time, I want to go on a sunny day.
参加した日は、びっくりするくらいの大雨の日でした。
気温も低く寒かったですが、自然のことなので仕方ない。
その為、ツアーで申し込んでいた日本人の観光客しかほぼいませんでした。
スライダー等は滑りたい放題でしたが、午後からはクローズするスライダーも多く残念。
ボディーボードレッスンは レッスンではなく、波のプールを貸切でボディーボードが出来るっていうことでした。
シャカというスライダーが一番怖かったですが、お尻をしたたか打ちました。子供はお尻がすりむけましたので、注意してください。
BBQは期待していなかったからか、思ったより美味しかった。牛肉も柔らかかったです。

There are people who can speak Japanese, and since you wear life jackets when entering the sea, I think it's a tour that even those who are not confident in swimming can enjoy safely.
It is paid, but renting a wetsuit was the right choice!
I went in August, and since you go into the sea quite a few times, it gets pretty cold!
I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles as well.
日本語が出来る方もいますし、ライフジャケット着用で海に入るので、泳ぎに自信がない人でも安心して楽しめるツアーだと思います。
有料ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした!

We were picked up by a large bus. We picked up many people from hotels, and 98% of the group was Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, a monitor and announcements explained the process in Japanese.
After arriving at Wet 'n' Wild, we confirmed the bus number and meeting point, handed over our vouchers at the entrance, and then went through a bag check to enter. There is a shop where you can buy water, juice, and waterproof cases if needed (the waterproof case was about $25).
As we moved further in, there was a roofed area with lockers on the left where you can store your belongings. In front of the row of lockers, there is a monitor screen where you can rent a locker. You select the size of the locker, set a passcode, and after payment, you are told, "Your locker number is X." You can use that locker freely. Credit card payments are accepted, and the operation can be done in Japanese. Nearby, there is a shop (with hamburger sets), and in front of it, there are chairs and tables available for use. We left our swimsuits, towels, and sandals there and stored our valuables in the locker. I brought a leisure sheet just in case to reserve a spot, but it wasn't necessary.
You walk to each attraction, so it's easier to wear sandals the whole time. Even though it was spring break, the ground got quite hot. At the entrance of many attractions, you had to take off your sandals and climb stairs to start, which could have been tough in the middle of summer.
Each attraction has different inner tubes. You typically receive the inner tube from someone who has just finished at the goal point and carry it back to the starting point. There were many thrilling rides, which were fantastic. For some reason, not all attractions were open at once; they were opened alternately. If it’s like this during summer vacation, it might be a bit disappointing... There’s a possibility that attractions you plan to do later might close after a while, so be cautious.
Since it was still a season with fewer people, we didn’t have to wait long for lunch, and we could buy and eat quickly before heading to the next attraction. However, I wonder how it will be in the peak summer season? I was a bit worried about that. Despite the lines, the staff seemed quite relaxed... (laughs)
We left at 2:30 PM to make it back by 3 PM, but it seemed like many tours followed the same pattern, resulting in a long line. I feel there are too few changing rooms. The restrooms are in the same area, so some people were changing in the restroom.
Also, I thought it would be nice if we could play until closing time even if we weren't leaving at 3:15 PM. However, renting a car in an unfamiliar area is nerve-wracking, and if you plan to go during a busy season, it might be a good idea to eat something just before arriving and skip lunch to enjoy the attractions.
The thrilling attractions that are hard to experience in Japan were incredibly fun! 😊
大型バスでのお迎えでした。たくさんのホテルで拾って98%日本人で出発でした。
全員そろった時点で、モニターとアナウンスが日本語で流れを説明してくれます。
ウェット・アンド・ワイルドに着いた後、バスの番号と集合場所を確認して、入口でバウチャーを渡して、その後荷物チェックされて入場でした。
売店があるので、そこで必要な方はお水やジュース、防水ケースなどを買うことができます。(防水ケースは25ドルくらいでした)
更に進むと左手にロッカーの屋根があり、そこで荷物を預けられます。ロッカーの並んでいる棚の手前にモニター画面があり、そこでロッカーの契約をします。ロッカーの大きさを選び、暗証番号を決めて支払いをした後に、「あなたのロッカーは何番です。」と指定されますので、その番号のロッカーを使用します。出し入れ自由。クレジットカード支払いOKです。日本語で操作できます。近くに売店(ハンバーガーとかのセット)があり、その前に自由に使える椅子とテーブルがありました。水着やタオル、サンダルはそこに置き、貴重品をロッカーに入れて動きました。レジャーシートを念のために場所取り用に持って行ったのですが、不要でした。
各アトラクションまで、歩くのでサンダルはずっと履いていた方が楽です。春休みだったのに、結構足元が暑くなってました。アトラクションの入口でサンダルを脱いで、階段を上ってスタートするパターンが多かったのですが、真夏だったら、大変だったかも・・・。
各アトラクションで浮き輪が違います。やりたいアトラクションのゴール地点で降りてきた人の浮き輪をもらって、スタート地点まで持って上がるパターンが多かったと思います。
絶叫ものが多くて最高でした。なぜか、全部アトラクションを開放せず、交代で開放してました。夏休みもこんな感じだったら、ちょっと残念です・・・。後でやろうと思ったアトラクションが、しばらく経ったら閉鎖になることもあり得ますので、注意です。
まだ人が多くないシーズンだったので、ランチもそこまで並ばず、すぐに買って食べて、次のアトラクションへ~~とスムーズに行けましたが、真夏とかどうなるのかなぁ?とちょっと心配になりました。
行列の割には、どこのスタッフものんびりですし・・・(笑)
帰りは2時半に上がり、3時の集合に間に合うように・・・と更衣室に向かったのですが、同じパターンのツアーが多かったようで、行列でした。
更衣室の数が少なすぎる気がします。トイレも同じ場所にあるので、トイレで着替えている人もいました。
また、3時15分出発でなくても、閉園時間まで遊ばせてもらえても良いのでは?と思いました。
かといって、慣れないところをレンタカーして行くのもドキドキするし、もし激こみシーズンに行かれるのであれば、到着ギリギリに何か食べて、ランチなしで遊ぶのも手かもしれません。
日本には、なかなか体験することのできない絶叫アトラクション、最高に楽しかったです(^^♪

The weather was cloudy, and it was a bit chilly due to the wind. If you have a bath towel or something to block the wind, it’s not a problem.
The lockers can be accessed with a 4-digit PIN, and you can use them as many times as you want. The large locker costs $18, which is a bit pricey.
For men who want to show off their skills on the FlowRider to their family, be prepared with an excuse. It’s really difficult. I have experience with surfing and wakeboarding, but I couldn't do it at all. The board is unstable and slippery on the waves because it doesn’t have fins or channels on the bottom.
The various slides are enjoyable for families and even adults. Selfie sticks and GoPros were allowed.

The tornado ride that we could all enjoy together was really fun, and we went on it three times. The kids seemed to really love the flow rider and are saying they want to go again!
The park had an all-you-can-eat BBQ plan, but the food was already prepared and there weren't many options. Some of the salads were spoiled, which was a bit disappointing... If it weren't for that, it would have been a five-star experience.

It was my first time swimming with dolphins, and it was truly amazing!
The weather on the day of participation was cloudy, and it had just rained, making the temperature quite low, which wasn't ideal.
I knew very well that since they are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%, so I was quite anxious... but!
I was able to see many dolphins, and I was genuinely moved!
I thought I wouldn't be able to get too close since you're not supposed to chase them, and I hoped to see them from a distance, but unexpectedly, I got to see them up close and was super excited!
When I dove a little, I felt like I could reach out and touch them—how could they be so close?!
After the dolphin swim, I went snorkeling and saw small fish and a sea turtle.
Unlike dolphins, the sea turtle swam while being rocked by the waves, so even though I knew I shouldn't touch it, I felt a bit nervous when it came close to me. (laughs)
I probably didn't swim for very long during the dolphin swim or snorkeling, but it did take quite a bit of energy.
So, the cheeseburger made by the captain tasted even better.
The crew members were all very nice, and it seemed like they were keeping a close eye on those who were anxious about swimming or their stamina.
The photos taken by the photographer can be purchased separately.
Before the dolphin swim, there was an explanation, and the guide, Musashi, said,
"You are free to take photos with your own camera, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. See the dolphins with your own eyes! You can also purchase photos from the photographer."
At that moment, I thought, "They just want to sell photos..." (sorry about that), but those words are true!
I believe you should definitely see the wild dolphins with your own eyes and imprint that memory.
At the end, there was even a discussion about environmental considerations for the dolphins, which really touched me.
It made me think about starting small eco-friendly practices so that dolphin swim tours can continue for a long time.
One thing I was concerned about was that the day of participation coincided with the Honolulu Half Marathon, which caused traffic restrictions, and the pickup took over an hour.
Since we were the first pickup, we spent quite a long time on the bus. (laughs)
The guides worked hard to manage the situation, and in the end, we got to see the dolphins without any complaints, but I think the marathon wasn't something that was decided yesterday or today, so it would have been even better if some measures could have been taken!
人生初のドルフィンスイムでしたが、本当に最高でした!
参加日は曇り、ついさっきまで雨が降っていて気温も低めというあまり良くないコンディション。
野生の生き物なので見れる確率は100%ではないのは重々承知の上参加していますがとても不安…でしたが!
沢山のイルカを見る事が出来て本当に本当に感動しました!
イルカは追いかけてはいけないし、あまり近くにより過ぎる事もないだろうから遠目に見れたら良いな…と思っていたのですが、予想外に近くで見れて大興奮!
ちょっと潜水したら手が届きそうでこんなにも近くで見れるの!?と思いました。
ドルフィンスイム後のシュノーケリングでは小さい魚やウミガメを見ました。
ウミガメはイルカと違い波に揺られながら泳いでいるので触れてはいけない…とわかっていてもウミガメの方から近付いてきてヒヤヒヤしました。笑
ドルフィンスイムもシュノーケリングも恐らくそんなに長くやっていないのですが、結構体力使います。
なのでキャプテンが作ってくれるチーズバーガーがより美味しく感じました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方ばかりで、泳ぎや体力に不安がある方はきちんと見ていてくれているようでした。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は別途有料で購入出来ます。
ドルフィンスイム前に説明があるのですが、ガイドのムサシさんが
「自分のカメラで写真を撮るのは自由ですが、写真を撮る事にとらわれ過ぎないで。自分の目でイルカを見て!写真はカメラマンからも購入出来ます。」
と仰っていて、この時は「写真を買わせようとしているな…」と思っていましたが(すみません)
この言葉は本当です!
野生のイルカ、絶対自分の目でしっかり見て焼き付けるべきだと思います。
最後はイルカの為に環境配慮の話しまであり、ジーンとしました。
いつまでもドルフィンスイムツアーが可能なよう、自分も小さな事からエコを始めようと考えさせられました。
一つ気になったのは参加日がホノルルハーフマラソン当日で交通規制がかかりピックアップのみで1時間超えだった事。
私達は一番最初のピックアップだったので結構長い間バスに乗りました。笑
ガイドさん達も一生懸命対処してくださりましたし、結果的にイルカも見れて文句無し、ですがマラソン自体は昨日今日決まった事ではないと思うので、何かしらの対策を講じる事が出来ていたら更に良かったのかな!?と思います!
Aloha Torachan,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We also apologize for any inconvenience caused by the traffic regulations during the Honolulu Half Marathon.

The diverse show was fast-paced and kept me entertained the whole time! The quality of the performances was high, and the food was really delicious. Even those who are not interested in hula will enjoy it!
バラエティに富んだショーは、展開が早く

I had previously swum with wild dolphins on another tour, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, I wanted to try a different tour, so I joined the highly-rated and well-organized tour by the prestigious Dolphin University.
On the bus ride there, the guide shared not only knowledge about dolphins but also various stories about Hawaii, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. The guides and crew members had a great rapport, and everyone was friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish.
Once we set sail, we quickly spotted wild dolphins! We could see them jumping from the boat, and I hurriedly got ready to jump in! A large pod of dolphins swam back and forth near us, and it felt like we were swimming together. I was truly moved. I think I swam quite hard for a significant amount of time, but I was so engrossed that I forgot all about the fatigue.
When I got back on the boat, the crew had prepared freshly made hamburgers for us. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot, where we were able to see many fish. We even spotted swimming sea turtles, which was very satisfying!
We jumped off the boat into the sea, did some stand-up paddleboarding, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. It was truly a packed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
The next time I participate in a dolphin swimming tour, I would definitely like to use Dolphin University again!
以前他のツアーで野生のイルカと泳いだことがあり、その感動が忘れられず、今回は前回と違うツアーで参加してみたいと思い、評判もよく、内容も充実している名門イルカ大学さんのツアーに参加させていただきました。
行きのバスではガイドの方からイルカの知識だけでなく、ハワイに関するいろいろなお話も聞け、あっという間に港まで着きました。ガイドやクルーの方同士も仲が良く、皆さんフレンドリーで最初から最後までとても雰囲気がよかったです。
いざ出港してからは、本当にすぐに野生のイルカを発見!
船からも飛び跳ねるイルカの姿が見え、急いで準備をして飛び込みました!
たくさんのイルカの群れが何度も行ったり来たりで近くを泳いでくれ、真下を通ったり、一緒に泳いでいるような感覚で、本当に感動しました。結構な時間、しっかりハードに泳いだと思うのですが、そんな疲れを忘れてしまうくらい、夢中になってしまいました。
船に上がると、クルーの方がハンバーガーを作ってくれていて、できたてをいただきました。
その後はシュノーケルのスポットに移動したのですが、こちらもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。泳いでいるウミガメも見られ、大満足でした!
船からジャンプして海に飛び込んだり、SUPができたり、帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったり、本当に最初から最後まで盛りだくさんで楽しませていただきました。
またイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加する際は、名門イルカ大学さんを利用したいと思います!

It was quite a hard tour starting at 5:30 AM, but we got to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! The staff had great energy, and there was time for fun. I was very tired, but it was so much fun!
朝5時半集合でなかなかのハードツアーでしたがいるか、くじら、海ガメも見れました!
スタッフのノリも良く、遊びの時間もありとっても疲れましたがとっても楽しかったです。
Thank you for your feedback. We hope you come back to meet the marine life in Hawaii again!

It was really disappointing that there was no information provided, such as the address and map of the departure location, so that I could go directly there if I couldn't get in touch due to the morning mix-up.
朝入れ違いで、連絡取れないのなら、直接現地へ行けるように、出港場所の住所と地図くらい提示がなかったのは、すごく残念でした。

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but we were able to secure our usual chairs in front of the wave pool. When we went to buy lunch, we found a menu that wasn't there last year. It was a bento box with rice. I believe it had fried chicken, and the rice with furikake was cheaper than the other menu items, like hamburgers. And it was delicious! We always rely on Veltra for transportation and admission fees, so this bento was a pleasant surprise.
あいにくのお天気で少し肌寒かったのですがいつものように波のプール前のチェアをとることができました。お昼ご飯を買いに行った所、去年行ったときにはなかったメニューがありました。ご飯が入ったお弁当です。確かから揚げとご飯にはふりかけがほかのメニュー、ハンバーガーよりも安かったと思います。そして美味しい!いつも送迎と入園料だけでベルトラさんにお世話になっているのでこのお弁当はうれしかったです。

Unfortunately, the weather was bad this time with rain and thunder, and we had to cancel part of the trip due to safety concerns. However, the tornado and water slide were thrilling and a lot of fun. I forgot the hat I had just bought on the bus ride back, and I truly appreciate you delivering it to the hotel right away. Next time, I definitely want to go on a nice day.
今回はあいにくに天候で雨や雷が鳴って、途中危険だと中止にもなりましたが、トルネードやウォータースライダーも迫力があり、とても楽しかったです。帰りのバスで買ったばかりの帽子を忘れてしまい、直ぐにホテルまで届けて頂いて本当に有難うございました。次回は是非天気が良い日に行きたいです。

Since it was the off-peak season, there were few people, and I was able to fully enjoy the attractions. However, the all-you-can-eat barbecue was disappointing, as the grilled meat was just left out. There were also rice, fruits, and yakisoba, but the salad vegetables seemed poorly washed, as I could feel the grit of sand.
I think it's sufficient to just enjoy the all-you-can-drink soft drinks and eat the regular food available in the park.
閑散期なので人が少なく、アトラクションは存分に楽しめたのですが
バーベキューの食べ放題のはずが焼いた肉が置いてある残念なものでした。
他にもご飯、フルーツ、焼きそばなどがありましたがサラダの野菜がよく洗ってないのか砂のじゃりじゃりがわかるほどでした。
ソフトドリンクの飲み放題で普通にパーク内のご飯を食べるので充分かと思います。

At first, I was worried about seasickness and whether I would see dolphins, but starting with the crew and captain's introductions, we sang songs and took photos, and finally! We arrived at the dolphin point!
I was really swimming a lot, haha.
However, I was able to see the dolphins clearly!
There were some members who couldn't see the dolphins, but they kindly took us back to the dolphin point for that person!
The marine sports like SUP and the slide were also fun!
We were able to have cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice, but to be honest, I was too seasick to enjoy it, though we could take some back with us!
最初は船酔いやイルカが見られるか等不安でしたが、クルーやキャプテンの自己紹介に始まり、歌を歌ったり写真を撮ってもらったりしてついに!イルカのポイントへ到着!
めちゃめちゃ泳がされます笑
ただ、イルカはしっかり見られました!
メンバーの中にイルカを見られなかった方もいましたが、その方のためにもう一度イルカポイントへ行ってくれたりとても親切に対応してくれました!
マリンスポーツもSUPやスライダー等楽しかったです!
チーズバーガーとスナックとジュースがいただけましたが、正直船酔いでそれどころではありませんでしたが、お持ち帰りもできました!
Dear Mamitasu,
I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful encounter with the dolphins! How was your experience meeting the wild dolphins in Hawaii? I'm sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness during meal time, but thank you for taking your meal to go.
Please do come back to visit the dolphins again.

I was moved when a pod of dolphins swam right in front of me, just below us. The staff worked hard to entertain the participants as well. However, it was really unfortunate that the boat was rocking and the weather was not great, making it cold. Nature is beyond our control, so there's nothing we can do about that. The tour itself was wonderful, and I highly recommend it.
イルカの群れが自分たちの真下から目の前に抜けて泳いでいったのには
感動しました。スタッフの皆さんも参加者を楽しませようと
頑張って下さいました。・・ただとにかく残念だったのは、船が揺れたことと
お天気が優れず寒かったことです。自然は不可抗力なので、仕方ないのですが。ツアー自体は素晴らしいですし、おすすめです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! The boat may sway due to the waves, but the captain will continue to strive to ensure that our guests have a comfortable experience on board. Thank you for your valuable feedback! MAHALO!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though I tend to let slip some strange things, haha.
Thank you for noticing the timing; I set it a bit earlier because I wanted to have some time to do something after returning from the tour.
I’ve been researching Hawaiian legends and history, so I think I’ll have more information to share next time. Of course, there’s still the hidden side of Hawaii that I haven't talked about yet, haha. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Oahu!
