I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles while traveling by boat. I've seen sea turtles on the beach before, but it was my first time seeing them swimming gracefully in the ocean. I also had an early encounter with dolphins and experienced how they gather in such large numbers.
The staff was energetic and worked hard to boost the participants' spirits from early in the morning, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. It felt great to see the effort put into making the entire tour enjoyable, not just focusing on the main purpose of seeing dolphins, but also ensuring a pleasant experience from the bus ride to the end of the tour.
I want to go again! I'm also curious about the manta ray tour. Maybe next year?
運が良かったのか、船で移動中にウミガメ4頭に遭遇できました。
浜にいるウミガメは見たことありますが、悠々と海を泳いでいるウミガメを見たのは初めてでした。
イルカ達にも早々と遭遇でき、こんなにたくさんの数で群れを成すのだと体感できました
また、スタッフの方達も早朝から参加者のテンションをあげるよう、元気に盛り上げて頂けてツアー全体が楽しい雰囲気で実行できました。
これは、イルカという主目的だけでなく、ツアーバスの乗車から終わりまでのツア-全体の運営を気持ちよくしようという努力が感じられ、気持ちよかったです。
また行きたい!! マンタツアーも気になりますね。また来年かな?

I thought I could have malasadas for breakfast, so I skipped breakfast, but I couldn't eat anything until lunch. What happened to the malasada photos from the past? I got to see dolphins, but since I jumped in with a five-year-old, it was quite exhausting to swim towards the dolphins. I couldn't keep up with the group at all and was struggling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see them while swimming. As a result, I ran out of energy to enjoy the marine activities, and the wait for the other participants' marine activities was long, which made me feel seasick halfway through, and it was quite tough. It seemed there were a few people who also got seasick. In the midst of all this, I was happy that the Japanese female staff member took great care of us.
朝マラサダが食べられると思い、朝ごはん抜きで来てしまったが、昼まで何も食べられなかった。過去のマラサダの写真は何だったのか?イルカには会えたが、私は5歳児と一緒に飛び込んだので、泳いでいるイルカの方に行くのはかなり体力消耗。集団に全然追いつけなくて必死だった。残念ながら泳ぎながら見ることは叶わなかった。なので、マリンアクティビティを楽しむ体力がなくなってしまい、他の参加者のマリンアクティビティ待ちが長くて、途中から船酔いしてしまい、かなりきつかった。船酔い組は何人かいたよう。そんななかで、日本人女子スタッフさんは甲斐甲斐しくお世話してくれて嬉しかったです。
Aloha!! Mr. Shinga,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University Tour. We have discontinued the provision of malasadas this year as they are fried foods that can easily cause seasickness. The dolphin tour can involve a lot of swimming depending on the dolphins and wave conditions that day, so our staff will continue to be mindful of caring for families with children during these times. We appreciate your valuable feedback.

マラサダのご用意は昨年より油を使った食べ物で、船酔いを引き起こしやすいということで廃止させて頂いております。

I participated with my elementary and high school sons as a family. Shortly after boarding the boat, we were told that dolphins were nearby. We tried twice and were able to see many dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin in the pod, which was adorable. Later, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling where we saw sea turtles and various fish, and the kids were very excited. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was very delicious. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.
小学生と高校生の息子達を連れて家族で参加しました。船に乗って間も無くイルカが近くにいるとの事。2回トライしてたくさんのイルカを見る事が出来ました。群れの中に赤ちゃんイルカもいて可愛いかったです。その後場所を変えてのシュノーケルではウミガメやお魚たちも見られたし、子供達も大興奮でした。船の上で食べたチーズバーガーがとても美味しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。

I'm not sure if it was due to the timing at the end of August or the cloudy and rainy weather, but it wasn't very crowded. There were slides that we could enjoy without waiting in line, and we had a lot of fun. The soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and I had about three cups. We didn't opt for the all-you-can-eat option, but it seemed like there were time restrictions, so I think it's better to be able to eat what you want at your own convenience. It's quite far from Waikiki, so you should definitely include transportation.
8月末という時期的なものなのか、曇りのち雨という天候のせいなのかわかりませんがそれほど混んでおりませんでした。
並ばずに滑れるスライダーもあり、けっこう楽しめました。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題で3杯くらい飲みました。
食べ放題はつけませんでしたが、時間の指定があるようだったので、自分たちの都合に合わせて好きなものを食べられる方がいいと思いました。
ワイキキからは結構遠いので送迎はつけるべきです。

〇Kind and accommodating reservation changes
- I contacted them to change our departure date from Japan to one day earlier than originally planned, and I was worried about whether the change would be approved. However, three days before our departure, I received an email confirming the change, which relieved me, and I am grateful to VELTRA.
- The motivation for this trip came from my third-grade grandson, who requested to go to a place with a big pool and many attractions in Hawaii this year, so I decided to plan it.
- The participants included us and my eldest son's family (with two children).
〇Meeting Point
- We gathered at the three flagpoles in front of the Hilton at the Ilikai Hotel where we were staying, and at the meeting time, there were many Japanese tourists, including those from other tours. Since I have been on tours every year, I expected a large passenger vehicle (light van) as usual, but I was surprised to see a large bus.
- The bus driver took attendance, and we received wristbands according to our respective plans before boarding.
- The air conditioning on the bus was a bit too cold, but the grandchildren were very excited.
〇Entrance
- Bringing food and drinks is prohibited, and there is a check at the entrance. If you have any drinks, they will be confiscated, so please be careful. We brought a water bottle filled with ice (which passed through without issue).
- I didn't bring any valuables, but we used lockers for changing clothes.
- Since I did some research beforehand, everyone wore marine shoes, which were very helpful.
- The park was basically filled with various types of slides, primarily "thrill rides." The younger grandson was too short to ride the four-person slide we entered first, so he played with me in a small pool and had a good time. The older grandson, who wanted to ride, was very satisfied riding various slides with his father. In particular, he loved the super scary slide shaped like a trumpet in red, shouting loudly and having fun with his father, creating wonderful summer vacation memories.
- In terms of time, the older grandson wanted to play more, but overall, I think the duration was just right.
〇Future Plans
- I plan to go again next year with my eldest daughter and second son's family, along with my eldest son's family.

We participated as a family!
We decided on the day whether to rent wetsuits. (I think it was around $10 for the kids...)
I was told that there might be jellyfish and it could get cold, so we rented wetsuits only for the kids.
Most of the other customers rented wetsuits as well.
In August, I, as an adult, was fine with just a swimsuit and was okay being bare-chested.
As soon as we spotted dolphins in the wild, we jumped off the boat one by one!
However...
During our last jump, all we could see underwater were the feet and bubbles of the participants who jumped in before us.
Those who jumped in earlier seemed to see something in the water, but...
With limited time, we only had two chances to see the dolphins.
Both times, we caught a glimpse of the dolphins from the boat, but we couldn't see them at all underwater.
The staff cheerfully said something like, "We got to be with the dolphins today!"
But we couldn't see them underwater.
The image of swimming with dolphins is only partially true, so don't get your hopes up.
However, we were excited to see sea turtles up close in the water.
For those whose main goal is to see dolphins, since we are going to see wild dolphins, we can't guarantee you'll see them underwater, but the sea is beautiful, so it's fun!

This was my second time using the service. It seemed that the participant list was not organized, which caused a delay in departing from the meeting point. Additionally, the roads were congested, resulting in an arrival that was about an hour late. They mentioned that the return time would be delayed by an hour, which unfortunately affected my plans afterward.

My stay at the Kahala Hotel was an early start with a 5 AM pickup, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful memory. The guide, Takao, provided a very clear and persuasive tour, which added a great "flavor" to the experience. As a snorkeling beginner in my fifties, I initially struggled to keep up with everyone in search of dolphins, but the support from the staff was very reassuring. Eventually, I got the hang of it and was able to meet the dolphins and sea turtles, which felt amazing. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this tour.

Dissatisfaction points → You have to carry the thrill ride float up the stairs yourself. The restrooms and changing rooms are in the same location. Even though there are many food order windows, only about two are open, creating long lines. The all-you-can-eat plan has a very short operating time, only from 12:00 to 13:00. I thought the attractions themselves were somewhat interesting (the kids said they enjoyed it too), but I felt that there’s no need to take a bus for over an hour from Waikiki for the aforementioned reasons next time.
不満点→絶叫系のフロートを自ら抱えて階段を上がらなければならない。トイレと更衣室が同じところにある。食べ物注文窓口がいっぱいあるのに2か所くらいしか空いておらず長蛇の列が出来る。食べ放題プランでも窓口が12時から13時までのみの営業と営業時間が短すぎる。アトラクション自体はまあまま面白かったと思う(子供も面白かったといっている)が、前述のような点をわざわざワイキキから1時間以上もバスに揺られていく必要性は次からはないな、と思いました。

I participated to enjoy the last day in Hawaii with attractions like the water slide. The coin lockers are expensive, costing $13 for medium and $18 for large. On the Ohana Highway, my 11-year-old almost got thrown off the float and was quite scared. The Kapolei Cooler was supposed to be a lazy river, but there was no current, so we had to paddle ourselves, and there were a lot of floating objects, so we stopped after one round. The Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool was somewhat decent. Waikiki Beach might have been better.

初めてのウェット&ワイルド。
カバナを事前予約 していたのですが、借りられるか不安でしたが、、確実に借りる事が出来ました。
カバナがあると飲み物や果物がサービスされ、落ち着ける拠点が出来て良かったです!
アトラクションも楽しめました。

I'm a returning visitor after three years, and it's enjoyable because there aren't as many strict rules like in Japan. My family and I can have fun doing various activities, like filming videos while riding the slides.
3年振りのリピーターですが、日本のように細かい決まり事が無くて楽です。家族でスライダーに乗りながら動画撮影など色々楽しめます。

The pool is filled with thrilling water slides, not suitable for small children or the elderly. However, kids in elementary school and above will absolutely love it. My children, who are in elementary and middle school, were thrilled and said they want to come back again! If you take the shuttle bus, you can line up right at the entrance, but if you go on your own, it costs $8 for parking, and then you have to wait in line to exchange tickets before entering. The park closes at 3:30 PM, but around 2:30 PM, when the bus passengers start getting ready to leave, it becomes much less crowded, and we could enjoy the slides to our heart's content.
The BBQ lunch was a buffet with hot dogs and salads, but it wasn't an actual BBQ. The variety wasn't extensive, and it wasn't particularly delicious, so I feel like we could skip it next time. However, if you don't get the BBQ lunch, you'll have to stand in a long line at the food counter, which is a bit of a dilemma.
絶叫系スライダーばかりのプール。小さな子供とお年寄り向きではありません。でも小学生以上なら大喜びです。小学生と中学生のうちの子たちは大喜びで、もう一回来たい!と言っていました。送迎バス付きだとすぐに入場門に並べるのに対し、自分たちで行くと、駐車場8ドルかかり、更にチケット交換に並んでから入場門。でも、3時半にクローズですが、バスの人達が一斉に帰り支度を始める2時半ごろから一気にすいて、スライダーやりたい放題でした。
BBQランチは、ホットドッグやサラダが並んでいるビュッフェ形式で、BBQするわけではありませんでした。種類が多いわけでもなく、すごくおいしいわけでもなく、次回はつけなくてもいいな…という感じです。ただ、BBQランチをつけないとフードカウンターで長蛇の列にならばなければならず、悩ましい所です。

There were still few visitors, so there was no waiting time, and I was able to enjoy various attractions and slides, which made me very satisfied. There are many attractions available that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
まだ、入場者が少なく待ち時間もなく色々なアトラクションスライダーを利用でき満足できました。アトラクションも数多く用意されており老若男女楽しめます。

It's enjoyable for both children and adults. Anyway, it was not crowded. Maybe it was just a good day to visit, but we could try the popular slides multiple times without much waiting. It feels like a nice large pool in the countryside (though some facilities are a bit aging). It's about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu. The food mainly consists of hamburgers, but the taste is okay. The kids were very happy. If I had to say something, it's not as spacious as I expected. Initially, I thought that the playtime from 10:30 to 15:00 might be short, but I think it's just the right amount of time. Towards the end, the adults did get a bit bored at times. Overall, it's good.
子供から大人まで楽しめますね。
とにかく空いてる。行った日が良かったのか、人気のスライダーも大して並ばずに何度も挑戦。
いい感じの田舎の大型プールって感じでしょうか?(設備が若干、老朽化気味)
ホノルルからも40分程度。食事もハンバーガー中心ですが味もOK。
子供達が大喜びでした。
しいて言うと、思った以上に広くない。当初は10:30~15:00までだと遊ぶ時間が短いかな?と思っていたが、ちょうど良い時間だと思います。
大人は最後の方は若干飽きる場面もありましたね。
全体ではgoodです。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great. From the bus ride, the staff provided detailed explanations about life jackets and safety points for the sea, which gave us a sense of security. As soon as we arrived at the port, we boarded a two-story boat. It had a restroom and was a splendid vessel. The fins and equipment were relatively new and clean. The captain took us to the right spot, and with the encouragement of the staff, we jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away in the distance, but on the second try, we encountered a wonderful pod and swam so close to the dolphins that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, losing track of time in the moment. We also danced hula together and during snorkeling time, we even saw turtles. It was a day of great satisfaction.
家族4人で参加しました。お天気は良好。行きのバスからスタッフの方が、ライフジャケットや海での注意点を細かく説明して下さり、安心感がありました。港に着いてすぐに2階建てのボートに乗りました。トイレもあり、立派な船でした。フィンや道具は新しめで綺麗でした。船長さんがここというポイントに連れて行って下さり、スタッフの方々の掛け声で海に飛び込みます。初めの一回は残念ながらイルカは遠くに泳いで行ってしまいましたが、2回目にすばらしい群れに会えて、イルカと手が届きそうな近さで泳ぎ時間を忘れるひと時でした。
フラダンスをみんなで踊ったり、シュノーケリングタイムには亀にも会えました。大満足の一日でした。
Aloha!! Dolphin Enthusiast,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University Tour. We are thrilled that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. When you visit the Big Island again, we also have manta tours available, so we look forward to your next visit.

Our experience from start to finish was exceptional! The shuttle ride started with a wonderful ride from Emanual- she was friendly and conversational, making our time feel like it was spent with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the Island and told us interesting things. She suggested we rent a car and we did- the next day! Thanks Em so worth it! On the boat Em and Captain Jenna were wonderful. Our teenager got a little sick but they didn't give up on her, with their words of encouragement and support we set sail. Our 8 year old was afraid and because of you two ladies she got in and snorkeled with an 80year old turltle. Words can express that magic of that experience! We are eagerly anticipating the pictures photographer Paul took. Your attention to detail and obvious dedication to your craft is remarkable. Thank you team dolphin excursion for loving what you do and sharing that with my family. Mahalo!
Mahalo Danielle for your kind words and taking the time to share. I will alert Capt. Jenna, Emanuelle, and Paul to your review so they may fill their soul with candy. We hope to see you again! Lisa, Operations Manager for Dolphin Excursions Hawaii.

We rented a car during our trip and stayed at the Kahala Hotel, which was not included in the shuttle service, so we went on our own. The parking fee was $8, and we could pay by card. For entry, the VELTRA guide only mentioned meeting at the entrance, but it was smooth when we presented the voucher at the counter. There was a baggage check at the entrance, and it seems that food other than fruits is not allowed.
Inside, there were multiple slides, and it was compact and easy to navigate. However, since the operating hours were until 3:30 PM on that day, there were some attractions we couldn't do. I think it's a great place for families with small children. However, the food counter gets really crowded.
旅行期間中レンタカーを借りていたのと、カハラホテルに滞在していて送迎対象外だったので自分達で行きました。駐車場は$8。カードで払えました。入場は、VELTRAの案内では入口集合としか記載なく、窓口にバウチャーを提示したら、スムーズでした。入口では手荷物検査があり、フルーツ以外の食べ物は取上げの様です。
中はスライダーがいくつもあり、コンパクトでまわりやすかったです。ただ、営業時間が15:30迄の日だったので、できないアトラクションもありました。
小さな子供連れには良いところだと思います。
ただ、フードカウンターはめっちゃ混みます。

I found the hotel pool a bit lacking, so I decided to check this one out, and I was very satisfied. My child is small, so we couldn't use the water slides, but it looked like a lot of fun and was really crowded. I definitely plan to try it next time. The wave pool was quite intense; even adults could easily find themselves in trouble if they weren't careful. We rented a cabana, and although it was pricey, it provided a place to store our belongings and relax comfortably. However, the rental float that came with it was quickly used by others, so you need to be cautious about that.
ホテルのプールでは物足りなかったので行って見ましたが、大満足です。子供が小さくウォータースライダー系は出来ませんでしたが、とても楽しそうですごく混んでました。次行った時は絶対やろうと思います。波の出るプールは油断すると大人でも溺れそうなくらいでした。カバナを借りたのですが、値段は高いものの荷物置き場や座る場所が確保出来たので十分にリラックス出来ました。付いてきたレンタルの浮き輪がすぐ他の人に使われたので、注意が必要です。
