The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.
手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

This was such an awesome afternoon/evening! Started off with a great tour bus hostess, really funny lady, and when we got to the beautiful Paradise Cove locations we were greeted with Mai Tai's. From there we were shown how to do a Hula dance, watched a ripped as guy climb like a monkey up a coconut palm, how to traditionally fish and cook the pig. There was an awesome buffet meal whilst we were treated to all different styles of Polynesian dances and songs. Drink prices were cheap for amazing cocktails, and overall such a lovely evening. Would highly recommend!

The guide was very eager to learn and had extensive knowledge about Hawaii. She entertained us by teaching us about Hawaii's birds, fish, flowers, and state flag through quizzes, explaining their reasons and origins. She also provided detailed information about Hawaii's unique climate, lifestyle, customs, and the flowers and seeds of its plants. Regarding the western tourist spots, she humorously shared local legends and stories while guiding us.
As for the snorkeling, she not only showed us fish, coral, and turtles but also discovered dolphins a bit offshore and helped two of our companions, who weren't strong swimmers, by pulling them along on a float. It must have been quite physically demanding for her. She kindly listened to our whims.
Additionally, on that day, we were fortunate enough to encounter a parade for a world champion in martial arts (a fighter from western Hawaii) and even met a wild peacock, which suggests that our guide had a special touch. She had lived in various places around the world and had experience in different jobs, sharing her rich knowledge about the lifestyles, climates, and customs of those countries.
Finally, regarding her personality, I felt she was a kind Hawaiian born in Japan. If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely ask her to be my guide.
ガイドの方は、大変勉強熱心らしく、ハワイについての知識が豊富。私たちを楽しませてくれようと、ハワイの鳥、魚、花、州旗などなどその理由、成り立ちについて、クイズ形式で教えてくれました。また、ハワイ特有の気候、生活、風習、植物の花や種についても、詳しく教えてくれました。西部の観光スポットについては、実際にガイドをしながら、現地に伝わる伝説、伝承を交えユーモラスに語ってくれました。肝心のシュノーケリングですが、魚、サンゴ、亀などを見せてくれたのは勿論のこと、ちょっと沖の方にイルカを発見し、泳ぎが得意でない同行者二人をフロートにつかまらせて引っ張って連れて行ってくれました。体力的にもかなりハードであったと思われます。わがままな我々の言うことを優しく受け止めてくれてもいました。更に、当日は何とハッピーなことに格闘技世界チャンピオン(ハワイ西部出身の選手)の凱旋パレードにも出くわしたり、野生のクジャクに出会ったりと、ガイドの彼女は何か持っているに違いありません。ガイドの彼女は世界各地に実際に生活し様々な仕事に携わった経験があり、その国々の生活や気候、風習などについても経験豊富な知識を元に話してくれました。最後に、彼女の性格ですが、私の感じたところ優しい日本生まれのハワイ人という感じでした。又、ハワイに来る機会があれば彼女にガイドを頼もうと思います。

I recently visited Hawaii after a long time, and since it was my friend's first trip to Hawaii, I was in charge of planning the itinerary. After debating between a "local guide" and a "niche tour," I decided on this tour.
First, I was surprised that our guide was a woman! Since it was advertised as "West Oahu where no one goes," I was curious about what kind of local guy would show up, but…
There were really no Japanese people at the beach! I felt like this was exactly the kind of tour I was looking for, and my excitement was through the roof. The supermarket was filled with locals, and I loved the feeling of being in an unfamiliar place.
The caves were also getting crowded with tourists shortly after us, so I thought the timing was perfect. The content included explanations of old legends and myths, and the guide took plenty of photos for us, providing thoughtful assistance throughout. She was knowledgeable about animals and plants, and I never got bored listening to her.
We encountered a pod of dolphins around Yokohama Bay, which got everyone excited.
During snorkeling, we saw not only sea turtles but also sharks. When someone shouted "Shark!" and I turned around, there was a shark about a meter long, and I had the incredibly rare experience of swimming alongside it. I was told it was not aggressive, but it was a bit thrilling.
While it wasn't just a random assortment of fish, we did see colorful fish and schools, which was great.
However, the temperature difference in the water made me feel cold before the turnaround point, and I started to feel seasick. The stops for explanations were the worst for my nausea. I apologize for not being able to hear much during the second half as I was battling my discomfort.
If you're sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to wear a rash guard during certain times.
But it would have been better if I hadn't gotten seasick… Even if you can't swim and use a float, you still feel the waves while holding onto it… (laughs) It was fine while I was biting down on the snorkel, but the moment I took it out and tasted the seawater, I felt like I was going to gag (though I didn't throw up).
For lunch, it might be better to keep it light or eat something that can be eaten with your hands in the car on the way back (like bread). I bought a poke bowl for lunch, and they kept anything that needed refrigeration cool, so I felt safe purchasing it!
On the way back to Waikiki, I fell into a deep sleep, and by the time I woke up, I had recovered from my seasickness and was ready to enjoy the evening activities.
私は久々のハワイで、初ハワイの彼に行程を任されまして、「現地人ガイド」か「マニアック系」で悩んだ結果、こちらのツアーに決定しました。
まず、ガイドさんが女性なのに驚き!"誰も行かない西オアフ"ってマニアックな事を謳うくらいなのでどんな地元に根付いた兄ちゃんが出てくるのかと思ったら…!
海も本当に日本人いない!こういうツアーを求めてた!!!って感じでテンションはあがりまくり…
スーパーもローカルしかいない所でこのアウェー感がたまらん!状態。
洞窟も私たちのちょい後には外人さんでいっぱいになっていて、時間のチョイスも絶妙だと思いました。
内容も昔ながらの伝説や神話を交えて解説、写真もバシバシ撮って下さるし細やかな対応で助かりました。
動物や植物にも詳しく、聞いていて飽きなかったです。
ヨコハマベイ周辺ではイルカの群れに遭遇で一同盛り上がりました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメだけでなく、サメにも遭遇しました。
サメだ!の声に振り返ると1mくらいのサメがいて、一緒に泳ぐという貴重すぎる体験が出来ました。人を襲わないヤツと言う事でしたが、ちょっとスリルがありましたね。
手当たり次第魚がいると言う感じではなかったですが、カラフルな魚や群れも見られて良かったです。
ただ…割と水の寒暖差でUターンポイント前には体が冷え切り、波には酔う始末。
説明の為に停滞するのが酔いの命取り状態でした^^;;
後半は自分との戦いでほぼ説明が聞き取れずですいませんでした。
寒さを感じやすい方はラッシュガード上下あると良い時期があるかもしれませんね。
しかし、波に酔わなければより良かったです…
泳げなくてNG!なら浮き輪で戻れても…酔いは浮き輪に捕まっていても揺れますしね…(笑
シュノーケルを奥歯でギューっとしている間は良かったのですが、外して海水の味が口に回った瞬間オエっとなりました(吐かなかったけど。
ランチは控えめか、帰りの車の中で失礼した方が良いかもしれません。(パンとか手で食べられるもの)
ランチはポキボウルを買いましたが冷蔵が必要なものは冷やしておいて下さるので安心して購入出来ました!
ワイキキに戻る間にぐっすりいっちゃったので、起きた時には酔いからも回復していて夕方からの遊びもがんばれました。
Thank you for your review.
That shark was just at that time; I haven't seen a shark at that beach before, so I was lucky! (It's a white tip shark, which lives in coral reefs and grows to about 1.5 meters, so it's a small shark. It rarely attacks people.)
During snorkeling, I was worried, thinking, "Are they not having fun?" but it was actually seasickness! I'm sorry I didn't realize that...
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii!!
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
あのサメはあの時だけです、あのビーチでサメを見たことはまだないんです、ラッキーでした! (ホワイトチップという、サンゴ礁に住むサメで大きくなっても1.5mくらいの小さいサメです。人を襲うことはまずありません)
シュノーケルの際、あれ? 楽しくないのかなと心配していたのですが、酔いのほうでしたか! 気がつかなくて申し訳ありませんでした。。。
またハワイにお越しの際にはご参加ください!!

The tour guide was very nice, but I wish they had informed us upfront that we needed wetsuits and that there would be various costs involved. I can't swim, so I just watched, but I ended up feeling nauseous, which was tough. I think it might be a bit difficult for non-swimmers.

The dinner and luau experience at Paradise Cove were very nice. Our bus guide, Rich, was funny and helpful.
When we arrived we were given a mai tai/alcohol free mai tai, a flower lei if you bought the orchid or deluxe package (shell necklace if not), and they take a photo. Then you go in and shop or do activities. We got "Polynesia tattoos", had flower headbands made, held parrots, and threw spears. The lines for the activities take ages.
Unbeknownst to me, the stands that sell all the interesting items close when dinner starts, so if you want to use your merchandise card on something other than alcohol or cheap junk in the Marketplace shop then make sure you do you shopping before dinner starts. Children's merchandise cards can't be used on alcohol. This part was the only downside.

There are a lot of Japanese people here, so it doesn't feel much like being abroad, but the facilities and concept are something you wouldn't find in Japan, and it was truly wild.
There are attractions that provide a thrill that's almost scary, and since it wasn't too crowded, I was able to fully enjoy both the thrilling rides and the more relaxed options (there's also a soothing hot spring area). The food is similar to what you find at Disney, so I wouldn't have high expectations.
I occasionally use optional tours when traveling abroad, and this one was quite cost-effective. I immediately recommended it to my friends after returning home.
I think I will go again when I visit Hawaii.
日本人が多めなので、あまり海外に来た感じがしないですが、
施設やコンセプトは日本にはない感じでまさしくワイルドでした。
怖いぐらいのスリルを感じるアトラクションもあり、そんなに混んでなかったので、
スリルあるものや、やんわり系(ゆったり温泉コーナーもあります)を思う存分満喫することができました。
食事はディズニーにあるようなものなので、あまり大きな期待はできないかなと。
海外でたまにオプションツアーを利用しますが、これはなかなかのコスパでした。
帰国してから、早速友達にお勧めしました。
また、ハワイに行ったら行くと思います。

It was a very American tour where the entertainment started already on the bus. The bus guide was amazing! The pre-show entertainment was fun, with a sense of unity amidst the freedom. If you don't miss the signal from the conch shell, you can keep up with the flow. But it's okay if you fall behind! Everyone spends their time as they like, and that sense of freedom is very pleasant.
It's more enjoyable if you can speak English, but if you want to experience American entertainment with your body, you don't need to worry about the language! I recommend this for those who want to have an experience a bit different from a typical Japanese group tour!
The deluxe dinner course is worth the money. The meal is served to you, and you also receive souvenirs and a $24 gift card. We wore yukatas! Since everyone was dressed nicely, there was no need to feel embarrassed. It gets chilly at night, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over.
I was glad to have such a fun tour. Thank you!
行きのバスの中から既にエンターテイメントが始まる(盛り上がっている)アメリカらしいツアーでした。バスガイドさん最高です!
ショーが始まる前の余興も、自由な中に一体感があり楽しかったです。ホラ貝の合図を聞き逃さなければ、ちゃんと流れについていけます。でも流れに遅れても問題ないです!皆んな好きなように時間を過ごしています。その自由感が心地よくなります。
英語はできた方が楽しいですが、アメリカのエンターテイメントを体で感じるのであれば、言葉は気にしなくていいです!日本人の団体ツアーから少しでも離れた経験をしたい人にオススメです!
デラックスディナーコースはお金を払う価値アリです。食事も運んでもらえて、お土産や24ドルの金券(カード)ももらえます。
私達は、浴衣を着て行きました!皆さんお洒落しているので、恥ずかしくないですい。夜は冷えるので、羽織る物を持っていくといいです。

This was truly a great time. We had the deluxe package so we had special seating and an unobstructed view of the stage and entertainers. The weather was great as well as the food and drinks. They took great care of us and attended our every request. They had lots of activities at the cove. They had spear throwing, rafting, lei making and of course hula lessons. If you go to the island make the time to attend a luau and especially at Paradise Cove. It was simply the best.

We had a great time!
We participated as two couples in our late 40s. We joined with transportation, unlimited drinks, and a one-day pass.
We were picked up at the hotel and received explanations from a guide who was fluent in Japanese. After a few pickups, we arrived at the location in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. As we had been informed beforehand, a DVD explaining safety precautions in Japanese was playing in the car, and we had no trouble using the lockers.
When we headed to the attractions, I couldn't stand the heat of the ground barefoot, so I quickly returned to the locker to get my Crocs. Since you can't participate in the attractions while wearing sandals, I left them nearby (there were plenty of places to put them).
All the attractions were fun, but the slopes and stairs were quite tough. For the rubber boat, you have to carry it up yourself, so it's a chance for the men to show off.
I opted for the unlimited Surf Rider for an additional $5 (you can sign up at the information desk after entering). Personally, I found this to be the most enjoyable. It was my first time, and I was worried it might turn into a hilarious disaster like what I saw on TV with the Ungirls, but even a guy in his 40s could do it fairly normally—surprisingly easy? I recommend it.
My wife was really into the Shaka. It's a two-person attraction where you sit facing each other, so if you love thrill rides, you'll enjoy sitting in the back where you can see the ground.
いやー楽しかったぁ
40代後半の夫婦2カップルで参加しました。
送迎+ドリンク飲み放題+1日パスで参加しました。
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい日本語の達者なガイドさんから説明を受け、数カ所のピックアップをへてワイキキから30程度で現地に到着しました。事前の話で聞いていた通り車内では日本語の注意事項の説明DVDが流れ、ロッカーの使い方も迷わずできました。
いざアトラクションに向うも裸足で行ったらあまりの地面の暑さに耐えられず、ロッカーにクロックスを取りにすぐ戻りました。アトラクションはサンダルを履いたままではできないので、アトラクションの近くで脱いで置いときました。(いっぱい置いてありました)
どのアトラクションも面白いのですが、坂道と階段が結構きついです。ゴムボートはセルフで上まで運ぶので男性はいい所を見せるチャンスです。
+5ドルでサーフライダー一日乗り放題にしました。(インフォメーションで受け付けしてるので入場してから自分で申し込みます)自分としてはこれが一番面白かった。まったくの初めてで、以前テレビでアンガールズがやってたようにハプニング映像になるのかなぁとやる前は不安でしたが、40過ぎのおじさんでもわりとフツーにというか、以外に簡単?おススメです。
嫁さんはシャカにはまってました。二人乗りで向かい合って座るタイプのアトラクションなので絶叫系が好きな人は下が見える後ろに乗ったほうがより一層楽しめます。

We got there early, so we were able to ride most of the slides before it got crowded. The Shaka is my favorite, with the Waianae Whirl as a far second. If you haven't been there in a while (like me), the Shaka is now a 1-person ride instead of a 2-person as it was before. Convenient, since there was 3 of us.
If you haven't been there before, you aren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the park. They check bags at the entrance, and I had to empty my water bottle since it wasn't sealed (it was just tap water, so no worries). Sunscreen is a must, as you'll be in the sun pretty much the whole time. Pro-tip: bring reefwalkers/water shoes! Slippers aren't allowed on the rides (for obvious reasons), so having reefwalkers will ensure you won't have to walk around on the hot, grippy ground of the park.
All in all, it's a fun way to spend the day and I'm glad I went!

Then, right in front of us and just below, there were dolphins!! Seeing the dolphins up close, their eyes weren't wide open but half-closed (laughs), and it felt like they understood something, which was a bit thrilling (laughs).
The hamburgers, snacks, and juice on the boat weren't anything particularly fancy, but they were delicious♡

It felt like we were swimming with all our might to chase after the dolphins, haha.
It can be quite tiring, but it's a fun event. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, they provide free life jackets and fins, so you'll manage somehow.
I had imagined playing with the dolphins, so it was a bit disappointing that the experience was different from what I expected. But I did get to see wild dolphins.
Since they are wild, whether they come close to people or swim away depends on their mood that day.
On the day we went, it seemed like a pod of bottlenose dolphins was nearby, and the long-beaked dolphins with their young seemed to be panicking and escaping.
Whether you get to play with the dolphins is probably a matter of luck.
イルカのいるところまで全力で泳いで追いかける感じでしたw
なかなか疲れますが楽しいイベントではあります。
泳ぎに自信が無くてもライフジャケットとフィンが無料で付いてくるので、どうにかなります。

ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました。 野生のイルカとなりますので、どうしても日によってイルカとの距離やイルカを見れる時間は異なってしまいますが、また是非ハワイにいらっしゃった際は再チャレンジしていただけたらと思います。 またのご参加をスタッフ一同お待ちしております。 MAHALO!!

I received a confirmation call the evening before, and they asked if I would like to change to the 9:00 AM flight since the early morning flight on the day of the reservation was extremely full. I gladly accepted! I was thinking that early mornings would be tough due to jet lag, so it worked out perfectly (*´∇`*).
A blue school bus with "Meimon Iruka Junior High" written on it arrived in front of the hotel. All the staff members were cheerful and fun people.
Since there were few of us, we all introduced ourselves one by one during the ride. This was really enjoyable! With everyone sharing information, a sense of camaraderie among classmates started to develop.
It took about an hour by school bus to reach the Ko Olina area in the northern part of Oahu, and we arrived at the port after a fun commute. After about 20 to 30 minutes, the boat carrying the first group returned. There were indeed a lot of people... I'm glad we switched to the second group!
We boarded a luxurious two-story cruise ship and traveled for about 20 minutes to the dolphin point. Whenever we spotted dolphins, everyone would jump in, but the dolphins would often get startled and swim away. The boat would quietly approach the dolphin pods, allowing us to jump in one by one and swim towards the dolphins with all our might.
Wearing a simple life jacket and small fins made floating easy, but swimming was a bit tough.
Even when we swam, the dolphins would escape! They swam right under us at times. We could see the dolphins' dorsal fins from a distance.
I brought a special camera for diving, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture any images of the dolphins.
After several attempts, everyone was able to see the dolphins with their own eyes, and then we moved to the point where the turtles were. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, as if to say, "Is now the time to jump in?"
At the turtle point, we enjoyed snorkeling. It was a fun day filled with laughter. Thank you very much!
前日の夕方に確認の電話が来て、
予約当日の早朝便は凄い満員だから、良かったら2便(9:00発)に変更しませんか?と言われ快諾!
時差ぼけで早朝はきついなーと思っていたので丁度よかったです(*´∇`*)
ホテル前に「名門イルカ中学」と書かれた青いスクールバスが到着。
スタッフさんたちはみんな陽気で楽しい方々ばかりw
人数が少なかったので移動中全員順番に自己紹介をしましたw
これがまた楽しかった♪
みんなの情報が共有されたので、クラスメイトの一体感が何となく芽生えた感じです。
オアフ島の北部、コオリナ地区までスクールバスで約1時間弱、楽しい通学時間を過ごして港に到着。
2~30分ほどで1便の皆を載せたボートが帰ってきました。
たしかにすごい人数でした・・・。
2便にして良かったw
2階建ての豪華なクルーズ船に乗ってイルカポイントまで約20分程度移動。
イルカを見つけては全員で飛び込むんだけど・・・
さすがにイルカさんたち、驚いちゃうのか逃げてしまいますw
船は出来るだけ静かにイルカの群れの近くまで行ってくれるので、
順次水に飛び込んでイルカ向かって全力で泳ぎます。
簡易版ライフジャケットを着用して、小さなフィンを装着しているので浮いているのは楽だけど泳ぐにはちょっとしんどいw
泳いでもイルカさんは逃げますwww
足の下を通り過ぎてくれたりしました。
遠めにイルカさんの背びれも見えました。
ダイビングをするので、専用のカメラを携えて行きましたが、イルカさんの姿を撮影する事は出来なかったのが残念。
何度かのトライで全員がイルカさんを肉眼で確認できたところで終了。
カメさんのいるポイントに移動する間、イルカさんは船に並走してくれてw
飛び込むなら今?的なw
カメさんのいるポイントでは素潜りして楽しみました。
笑いの絶えない楽しい一日でした、どうもありがとうw
Aloha Ikeda,
Thank you for your flexible response despite the last-minute notice!
The second tour will only operate if the first one is fully booked, but since you had a leisurely morning, it has been well received.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
We look forward to your next visit!

Aloha 池田様
前日のご連絡にもかかわらず、柔軟にご対応いただきましてありがとうございました!
2便のツアーは1便が満席なったときのみ催行となっておりますが、朝ごゆっくりということもあり、ご好評いただいております。
ツアーをご満喫いただいたとのこと、スタッフ一同とても嬉しく思います。

I thought there was only one power spot in the cave, but I was taken to multiple places, including the cave, the sea, and the mountains. Being a power spot, it was mystical, and I was able to enjoy the unique scenery of Hawaii. I was looking forward to snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to encounter not only beautiful tropical fish but also an eel and three sea turtles. Next time, I think I will practice using the fins a bit more.
パワースポットは洞窟の1か所だけと思っていたが、洞窟はもちろん海や山、何か所も連れて行ってもらった。パワースポットなので神秘的でありハワイ独特の景色も楽しめた。楽しみにしていたシュノーケリング、きれいな熱帯魚はもちろん、うつぼや三匹の海亀に出会うことができ大満足。次回は、もう少し足ひれの使い方を練習しておこうと思った。
Thank you for your review.
There are power spots scattered throughout West Oahu, and it seems that those who can feel them experience quite a strong energy.
The ocean changes every time, so if you have the opportunity, please continue to go snorkeling; the more you get used to it, the more fun it becomes!
If you have another chance, please join us again.
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
西オアフにはパワースポットが点在しております、かなり強いパワーがあるようで、感じる方にはすごく感じるみたいですよ。
海は毎回変わります、これからも機会があったら、どんどんシュノーケル行ってみてくださいね、慣れればなれるほど楽しくなりますよ!

I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy myself without feeling sick. According to the staff, taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding works best!
On the bus to the boat, the staff talked about snorkeling tips. All the staff members were enthusiastic, cheerful, and fun(^ ^).
We saw so many dolphins! The staff was excited too.
The activities on the boat were enjoyable as well. They played the ukulele, danced, and we had lunch!
On the way back, they were selling photos, so I bought some, and I’m really glad I did. It's hard to take underwater photos by yourself. They are all truly beautiful pictures. I highly recommend it.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you!
船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いすることなく楽しめました。スタッフさん曰く、酔い止め薬は乗船の30分前に飲むと効きやすいそうです!
船までのバスでは、シュノーケルの心得をスタッフさんが話されていました。スタッフの方は、みなさん熱心で、明るく楽しい方ばかりでした(^ ^)
イルカは本当に沢山見られました!スタッフの方も興奮されていました。
船上でのアクティビティも楽しかったです。ウクレレを弾いてくれたり、踊ったり、ランチも頂きました!
帰りのバスで、写真を販売していたので、買ったのですが、やはり買ってよかったです。水中の写真は、なかなか自分では撮れないです。本当に綺麗な写真ばかりです。オススメします。
ハワイに行く機会があれば、またぜひ参加したいです。ありがとうございました!

On the way to Ko Olina, I was curious about the pool and decided to choose this tour for my next trip to Hawaii.
I only signed up for the shuttle and a one-day pass, without any surfing experience or meals included.
The shuttle arrived right on time. A brief facility explanation was provided in English followed by Japanese until we reached the site.
We arrived at the opening time and entered after a simple bag check at the entrance gate. It seems that you can't bring in any opened beverages, so it might be a good idea to bring drinks for the bus and for use inside the facility.
I brought a waterproof pouch for valuables that I wore around my neck, but since some attractions prohibit carrying items, I ended up leaving it in a locker and didn't need the pouch after all.
The locker can be paid for with a credit card, and once you set a PIN, you can use that locker freely throughout the day. There were both large and small lockers, so if you pack lightly, a small one should be fine.
There are many attractions like slides, and you only have to wait about 10 minutes for each. I don’t go to pools often, so I can’t compare, but my husband said, "Slides at pools in Japan have longer lines, so this is really easy."
In the end, we did each attraction that wasn't for kids once, and then repeated a few that we liked until it was one hour before the meeting time to return, so we didn't have time for lunch (we only shared one popcorn).
I saw many foreigners walking barefoot, but the ground is very hot, so I think it's better to wear flip-flops and take them off near the attractions.
There is almost no shade, so it's best to be well-prepared for sunburn. Everyone was applying sunscreen around the locker area.
It might be different if you have kids, but I think couples can have plenty of fun even without any options! We really enjoyed it!
コオリナに行く途中で気になっていたプール、次ハワイに行くときは訪れようと決めていたのでこちらのツアーを選びました。
送迎+1日パスのみで申し込みました。
サーフィン体験も食事もつけておりません。
送迎は時間通りにきっちりと来てくれました。
現地に着くまでに簡単な施設説明が英語→日本語の順で流れます。
開園時間に到着し、入場ゲートで簡単な荷物チェック後中に入りました。未開封以外の飲料は持ち込めないようなので、バスで飲む用と施設内で飲む用を持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
私は首から下げる防水の貴重品ケースを購入して持って行きましたが、アトラクションでは
携帯物禁止のものもあるため結局ロッカーに預けっぱなしでケースは必要ありませんでした。
ロッカーはクレジットカードで支払い、暗証番号を設定したらそのロッカーを1日出し入れ自由で使うことができました。大小ありましたのでもし身軽に荷造りしていれば小で大丈夫です。
スライダー等のアトラクションが沢山あり、どれも10分程度待てばいいくらいです。私はあまりプールに行かないので比較ができないのですが、夫曰く「日本のプールのスライダーはもっと並ぶからここはすごく楽だよ」と言っていました。
結局子ども向け以外のアトラクションを1回ずつやり、そのあと気に入ったのを数回やっていたら帰りの集合時間1時間前になったので昼食を食べる時間は結局ありませんでした。(気になったのでポップコーンを2人で1つ食べた程度)
裸足で歩いている外国人の方も沢山見ましたが、地面がとても暑いのでビーチサンダルを履いてアトラクションの近くで脱ぐ方がいいかと思います。
屋根はほぼ無いので日焼け対策は万全にしていた方がいいです。ロッカー周辺で皆日焼け止めを塗っていました。
お子さんがいたりするとまた違うと思いますが、夫婦やカップルなら特にオプションが無くても十分楽しめる施設だと思います!シャカはまりました!
Aloha,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

Meeting at 5:30 in the morning was tough, and waking up was a struggle. Additionally, it took about an hour to drive from Waikiki to Waianae Harbor by bus, and the bus ride was quite rough and scary. Perhaps due to being pressed for time, the driver sped along much faster on the way there compared to the return trip.
However, the snorkeling experience where we could see dolphins up close was absolutely amazing. Swimming with the dolphins in the crystal-clear sea became one of the best memories of my life. We swam for about 30 minutes while chasing the dolphins, and although my wife started to feel tired and wanted to return to the boat, she held on and kept up with the group.
After returning to the boat, the effects of waking up early, the rough bus ride, the 30 minutes of swimming, and the swaying of the boat while anchored led to many people feeling seasick. The benches on the second deck of the boat were filled with people lying down.
The hamburgers were simply made by putting the ingredients we brought between buns, and they weren't particularly delicious. I think this option requires going to bed early the night before, being tough against motion sickness and seasickness, and having enough stamina to keep swimming for a while. Additionally, I would appreciate it if the dolphin snorkeling allowed for more flexibility in returning to the boat based on individual needs.
While I’ve mentioned various negative aspects, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was still the best time. The Japanese staff and local crew were all fun and kept us entertained with plenty of talks, songs, and dances.
By the way, during the tour, many photos are taken, and you can purchase all the photos taken that day from that camera for a flat fee of 5,000 yen, either as data or via email.
早朝5時半過ぎに集合で朝起きるのが辛かった。
さらに、ワイキキからバスで1時間ほど高速を走らせワイアナエハーバーまで行くが、バスの運転が荒く恐かった。時間に追われてるためか、帰りに比べ行くときは飛ばす飛ばす・・。
しかし、メインのイルカを間近で見ることができたシュノーケリングは最高でした。透き通る海の中をイルカ達と泳げたことは、人生でも最高の思い出となりました。
イルカを追いながら30分は泳いだか、だんだん疲れてきて妻は船に戻りたかったようだが、団体行動のため我慢して着いて行った。
船に戻ってからは、早朝起床&荒い運転のバス&30分泳&停泊中の船の横揺れなどもろもろの影響で、船酔い者が続出。船の2階デッキのベンチは横たわる人達が多数。
ハンバーガーは持ち込みの具材をただパンズで挟んだだけで特別おいしいわけではありません。
このオプションは前日の早めの就寝と、車酔い&船酔いにタフであることと、ある程度泳ぎ続ける体力が必要だと思いました。さらに、イルカシュノーケリングも個人に合わせ自由に船に戻れる配慮がほしいです。
とまあ、いろいろネガティブなことも書きましたが、それをもってしてもイルカと泳いだ時間は最高の時間でした。進行役の日本人スタッフや現地のスタッフは楽しい方達ばかりで、飽きさせないようにたくさんトークや歌や踊りを披露してくれました。
ちなみに、ツアー中たくさん写真を撮ってもらえますが、その日そのカメラで撮った写真全てを任意でデータかメールで買うかたちで、一律5,000円です。
ALOHA!! Thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We sincerely apologize for any anxiety you may have experienced during the bus ride and snorkeling.

Since I experienced various optional tours, this time I decided to go to the West Coast, which I had never been to before. It seemed a bit difficult to go on our own by rental car, so we joined this tour. I encountered a turtle while snorkeling! I was so happy to swim with the turtle. I ended up sleeping in the car on the way back, and I felt sorry for the guide.
色々オプショナルツアーを体験したので、今度は行ったことのない西海岸へ。レンタカーで自分たちで行くにはちょっと難しそうだったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングでカメに遭遇!カメと一緒に泳ぐことができて幸せでした。
帰りの車で寝てしまい、ガイドさんに申し訳なかったです。
Thank you for the review. It's quite common for most people to fall asleep in the car on the way back, so please don't worry about it. In fact, when I see someone sleeping, I think it means they were tired = they had a great time, so I don't mind at all. Until we meet again, aloha!

I spent 5 nights and 7 days enjoying Hawaii, utilizing various activity tours and options here...
Number one by far!!!!
The best!!!
★★★★★★★★★★ (Five stars aren't enough!)
I will definitely go again!!!!
From the start (it was early morning), a lively lady named Julie greeted us! She was really entertaining!! It was amazing to learn so much about dolphins and Hawaii in just a few hours! (Like how banana patterns are unlucky, and the best sunset spots...)
I rented a wetsuit. It wasn't cold, so it was comfortable, but it didn't seem necessary to borrow one, so it seems fine if you don't. I wore one, but I wasn't cold! I wonder if anyone didn't wear one...
Then we boarded the boat!! We learned a prayer song and sang "E-ho-mai!" My son is still singing it!
The first hour of dolphin class... amazing!!! So many dolphins! They were so close! The service was incredible! I could hear their ultrasonic sounds perfectly! My 8-year-old daughter was super excited!!!
In the second hour of turtle class... they were so friendly!! They were so close that we were desperate not to touch them! There was only one turtle, but it swam slowly, making it easy for us to see! We could clearly see its various swimming styles, postures, and expressions!! My 6-year-old son was completely mesmerized. My 70-year-old father also entered the water, and the staff stayed with him, so he felt safe watching the turtle.
In the third hour of snorkeling and sea sports (kayaking, paddling, diving, etc.)... there were tons of fish! The staff spread a lot of food and were great at taking photos! My father (70) and mother (65) also tried kayaking. I did everything. My fearless 6-year-old son and cautious 8-year-old daughter also dove in!! I didn't want to go back to the boat... I really didn't want to leave...
For lunch... cheeseburgers! So good~~ It ranks in the top three of what I ate in Hawaii! Eating in a place like that is the best! It's probably similar to McDonald's in Japan? The kids finished everything!! The juice and snacks were delicious too!
In the hula class... it seemed like they had just learned it, so it was a bit messy... haha!! But that was also fun! We all danced together—everyone had a great time dancing!!
On the way back, everyone was tired and it was nap time...
It was really great!! I absolutely recommend it! If you're hesitating, you should go!! Even if you have a budget, you should go!! You can't enjoy it without coming here!!!
*There were a few people who got seasick, but they said it's better to get in the water if you feel sick! Those who were seasick felt better after getting in the water.
Our family didn't get seasick (we took medication) and had a great time.
I want to post about 100 photos... but I'll be selective.
*That night, our whole family had a dream that Julie (the staff) was actually a dolphin. Was it just a coincidence...?

I have always wanted to see dolphins out in the wild and swim with them in the open ocean. I have heard of the tours where travellers are offered to swim with dolphins in the pool, but this is a completely different experience. We have travelled to several snorkelling spots before our speed boat started to make its way to a place where Hawaiian spinner dolphins are usually resting. Our captain was funny and enthusiastic, he also had a cute dog called Kiki – everyone on the boat just fell in love with her! After we spotted a group of dolphins we observed them from the boat for about 20 minutes and then decided to jump in the water. Our captain knew exactly what needs to be done in order to get the best experience possible. He told us to stay calm and jump quietly in the water and wait for the dolphins to approach us. Emotions I felt that day are hard to describe, I was crying from happiness, laughing and was completely overwhelmed with the beauty of these magical creatures. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who is visiting Oahu and looking to have a memorable experience and fun.
