I was very satisfied to meet the dolphins! イルカに会えて大満足！

Reviewed by: ami

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to see dolphins and sea turtles, so I signed up for this tour. The meeting time was around 6 AM, which was tough because I was sleepy, but during the bus ride to the west coast, the guide kept sharing information about Hawaii and explaining about the dolphins, which made it enjoyable.

When we arrived at the harbor, there was an explanation about renting wetsuits. On the day I participated, about half of the people rented them. I rented one too, and I think it was the right decision. The sun was strong, and it was hot if you stayed still, but since we were going into the ocean, the wind on the boat was much colder than I expected. Other participants who didn't rent wetsuits kept saying they were cold, so I recommend renting one!

Shortly after we set off, we arrived at a spot where we could encounter dolphins! The guide mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins so quickly, but we encountered quite a large pod. At the same time, sea turtles were swimming nearby, and it was incredibly moving! They were really cute!

Unfortunately, the plan to play on the boat was suddenly canceled due to high waves, which was disappointing, but I still had a great time! The lunch hamburger was delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that it was served cold since it was pre-made. I understand that this can't be helped, though...

Overall, I was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、イルカやウミガメが見たい！と思って申し込みました。
朝6時頃の集合になるので眠くて大変でしたが、西海岸への往路のバスでは担当の方がずーっとハワイのガイドやイルカの説明などをしてくれて楽しめました。
ハーバーに到着する際にはウェットスーツのレンタルについて説明がありましたが、わたしが参加した日は半分位の方がレンタルしていました。わたしもレンタルしましたが、これはレンタルして正解だったと思います。日差しが強く、じっとしていれば暑いのですが、なんせ海に入りますし風を切って走る船上は想像以上に寒いです。レンタルしなかった他の参加者の方は「寒い」とずっと言っていたので、レンタルされることをお勧めします！
出発してから間も無く、イルカに出会えるスポットに到着！こんなに早くたくさんのイルカに出会えるのは珍しいとガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりたくさんのイルカの群れに出会えました。また同時にウミガメも近くで泳いでおり、すごく感動しました！本当に可愛かったです！
この日は波が高く、ボート？で遊ぶ予定が急遽中止になってしまい残念でしたが、十分に楽しめました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきましたが、作ってあるものを食べるので冷めた状態なのが少し残念でした。これは仕方ないと思いますが…
全体的には大満足で、とても良い思い出になりました！

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.

シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので　体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました！！ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も　安心して参加できた事だと
思いました。船上で食べたバーガーも美味しかった、本当に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

An emotional experience like no other. 今までに体験したことのない感動

We were picked up at the designated hotel and off we went to West Oahu! During the drive, our guide Julie kept the atmosphere lively with stories about Hawaii and dolphins, and before we knew it, we had arrived! We boarded the boat and set sail to see the dolphins! I had heard that the chance of seeing them was 90 percent, but there was a thrilling tension about whether we would actually see them. The staff worked hard to find a pod of dolphins, and we were able to swim close to wild dolphins!

After that, we enjoyed our time with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling! For lunch, we had homemade cheeseburgers, and we also got to enjoy sweet cut pineapple☆ Finally, we all came together for a hula dance with the staff and all the tour participants! It was a wonderful moment of unity☆ I have visited Hawaii many times, but I have never experienced such an emotional moment! This is a tour I would recommend to friends and family! I would love to participate again myself!

First wild dolphins. 初めての野生イルカ

Reviewed by: イルカ

On my third trip to Hawaii, I finally participated in the long-awaited dolphin tour. I was thrilled to encounter a large group of dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly exciting to see them, as it all depends on luck.

As for the tour details, we took a dedicated bus early in the morning and learned about Hawaii and dolphins for about an hour until we reached our destination. After that, we got on the boat and prayed in Hawaiian to see the dolphins. Once we spotted them, we dove right in, moved to different locations for snorkeling and marine sports, and had lunch on the boat. It was quite packed with activities.

However, with so many participants, everything felt like a conveyor belt. It was more about seeing the dolphins underwater than swimming with them, which was different from what I had expected.

They didn’t teach us how to swim or anything. They only signaled us to look underwater when the dolphins came.

It was disappointing, considering how many dolphins we saw.

At the snorkeling point, they were feeding the fish, which was shocking for me as a diver. However, the participants were excited because a honu came close and there were plenty of fish.

The view from the boat was uniquely Hawaiian and very nice.

The burgers and juice for lunch were not tasty, but the warm tea was good.

The return bus ride felt very commercial. It created an atmosphere for buying photos, which were expensive.

Overall, while the schedule was sufficient, the content felt like a conveyor belt, which was disappointing. It might have been better with fewer participants. Paying $150 per person for this is high. I won’t participate again.

Although I got to see the dolphins and they created a fun atmosphere, it was still a bit disappointing. There was no request for tips.

３回目のハワイ旅行で初めて、念願のイルカツアーに参加しました。
出航して直ぐにイルカの大群に遭遇でき大興奮しました。
会えるかどうかは運なので、会えて本当に嬉しかったです。

ツアーの内容としては
早朝から専用のバスに乗って、一時間ほど目的地につくまでハワイやイルカについて教えていただき
そのあと船にのってイルカにあえるようハワイ語で祈ります。
イルカを見つけたらそのままダイブ
場所を移動しシュノーケルとマリンスポーツ
船の上で昼食
と盛りだくさんでした。

でも、参加人数が多く全てが流れ作業
イルカと泳ぐというよりかは、水中でイルカを見るといった感じで思ってた感じとは違うかな～

泳ぎ方など一切教えてくれません
イルカが来たら水中を見ることだけ合図で教えてくれます。

あんなにたくさんのイルカに会えたのに残念。

シュノーケルポイントは魚にエサを与えていたので、ダイバーとしてはショックでした。
ホヌが近くまで来て魚もたくさんいたので参加者のみなさん興奮してました。

ボートから見る景色はハワイならでわでとてもよかったです。

昼食のバーガーとジュースはおいしくないです。
あったかいお茶は美味しかった。

帰りのバスは営業感満載でした。
写真を買う雰囲気にさせます。
高いです。

全体的に、スケジュールは充分なのに内容は流れ作業で残念。
少人数だったらよかったかな。
これで１人150ドルは高いです。
もぅ参加はしないです。

イルカに会えたし楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれるのに少し残念。
チップの請求はなかったです。

To the best memories. 最高の思い出に

Reviewed by: maamu

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.

Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.

Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.

On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!

　仕事仲間１０人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
　朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド（２０ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入）も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
　泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
　クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
　また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

He honored every request we had and kept the flight interesting! My wife is terrified of flying but sat between the pilot and me. She loved the experience! This is the ONLY way to view Oahu! Fantastic job by Paradise and very thankful to be so blessed with this opportunity. We will definitely ensure ton fly with Paradise again! If you are in Oahu and reading this comment- just do it! It's just money. I promise the cost will provide a lifetime of priceless memories. Kids would also enjoy the helicopter flight. Thank you so much to Paradise for a truly unforgettable and smooth experience.

I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

イルカもウミガメも肉眼でしっかり見れました！
特にウミガメはかなり近くで見て、一緒に泳げたので、めちゃくちゃうれしかったです。
イルカも何度か群れに曹禺できたのですが、泳ぐのが早いため、近づく事はできませんでした…

I met Teacher Dolphin and Senior Sea Turtle (＾－＾) イルカ先生と海がめ先輩に逢えた（＾－＾）

Reviewed by: ここそら

I had always dreamed of swimming in a sea with dolphins, so I decided to enroll in Dolphin University, which offers many activities.

The meeting time was early, just past 6 AM, and while I felt a bit sleepy, I was excited.

On the bus, the Japanese staff provided explanations in Japanese about safety precautions in case of emergencies and how to use the snorkeling masks, which was reassuring.

I also learned how to deal with seasickness, and then we set sail! The sea breeze was cold during the ride, so I recommend bringing a jacket. Also, since the boat gets quite wet, it's essential to either bring a bag that can get wet or waterproof gear.

The sea was truly beautiful, with incredibly high visibility underwater! We set off on the boat and performed a ceremony to pray for the safety of E Ho Mai, releasing plumeria flowers into the sea. It was a blessed day with perfect weather. We encountered a lot of dolphins unexpectedly. I had heard that seeing wild dolphins depends on luck, but I was fortunate. I am grateful for such a wonderful day, and I even got to see a sea turtle.

Snorkeling was thrilling as I saw many beautiful fish.

The staff entertained us by diving and making bubble rings. On the way back to the boat harbor, we enjoyed hamburgers, snacks, and drinks. It seemed that the equipment was malfunctioning that day, so we didn't have hula, but it was still very fulfilling.

I received a bag as a substitute for a diploma and headed home. It was truly a fun time. Ahalo!

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Turtles are still slow in the water, works for this activity..

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

First time doing this. Thoroughly enjoyed it between the dolphins and turtle. I found a turtle by my lonesome, shared with everyone, but I guess there was more action somewhere else. I swam with the turtle as it slowly rose up to surface to get a breathe of air that took no more than one second. Then it went on its way. I don't have pictures of that experience to share, but I did have a go pro recording the whole time. So I have that to take with me the rest of my life.
Needs to said, there is a catch. If you want more interaction with mammal sea life, there is another activity that gets your first hand, up close and personal. However you are in a control environment. Whereas this activity is in the ocean; wildlife, so more than dolphins and turtles to experience(depending on the time of year too).

If I am allowed to edit this post, and also allow to post a hyperlink to a YouTube video, I will post that turtle swim.

The clear blue sea of Waianae. Waianaeの澄んだブルーの海

Reviewed by: Chill

Swimming with dolphins in the ocean has always been my dream, so I enrolled in a university with many activities after debating between middle school and university. The meeting time is early at 6 AM. I've heard that dolphins are still sleepy at that time!

They say Hawaiians are laid-back with time, but the tour bus is punctual, so I think it's best to gather at least 10 minutes before the meeting time. On the bus, we watch an English DVD about safety precautions and how to use the snorkeling mask, but we receive explanations in Japanese later, which is reassuring.

Follow the rules and enjoy the activities! For ocean activities, I recommend wearing a jacket because it can get chilly with the sea breeze while moving on the boat. Also, the boat can get wet, so bring a bag that you don’t mind getting wet or waterproof gear.

The coastline to Waianae is truly beautiful, and the water is very clear! We set off on the boat and performed a ceremony for safety, offering plumeria flowers to the sea. It was a blessed day with perfect weather. We saw so many dolphins on our second try. After being in the water for a while, we watched excited dolphins swimming around us repeatedly. Since they are wild dolphins, it’s all about luck. I’m grateful for such a fortunate day, and we even saw a turtle.

While snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish. I took off my life jacket and swam among the fish! The staff dove in and made bubble rings, adding to the excitement. I chose this university because of the long duration and the opportunity to do SUP. I managed to stand up!

On the way back to the boat harbor, we had hamburgers and drinks. It seemed like the equipment was having some issues that day, but there was still hula. Upon arriving at the port, we wanted to do some sightseeing on the west coast, so we disbanded locally. We received eco-bags as a substitute for diplomas and, with permission, disbanded locally. After that, we took The Bus to Mermaid Cave.

The staff advised us to be careful due to safety concerns. Thank you for your consideration! This university is the best! I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. It was the best activity I participated in! Mahalo!

We gathered at Hilton at 6 AM, and they seemed to have picked us up about 10 minutes earlier. When we went, the order of pickups was Prince → Hilton → Sheraton.

After about an hour's drive, we arrived at Waianae Harbor. We were supposed to board a medium-sized boat and head out, but on that day, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins in the shallows.

As we spotted dolphins in the distance, we hurried to get ready and jumped into the water. For those who can't swim or aren't very comfortable in the ocean, falling from the boat might be a bit scary. Hang in there!

After floating for a while, a pod of dolphins came by at intervals. The sea was very clear that day, and we could see them much more clearly than the last time we saw them. The dolphins would swim away and then come back or get close to us; it was truly a lucky day.

After saying goodbye to the dolphins and getting back on the boat, it was time for turtle snorkeling! Previously, we had seen two turtles of different sizes swimming together, but this time we only saw one medium-sized turtle. Two participants even touched the turtle, which was surprising...

After enjoying about 15 minutes of that, we split into those who would continue with stand-up paddleboarding & boating and those who would continue snorkeling. Since stand-up paddleboarding and boating can also be done at the hotel, we chose to continue snorkeling.

I was a bit disappointed thinking we might only see one turtle today, but after believing and waiting, we ended up seeing about 4 to 5 turtles in turn. I think we snorkeled for about 30 minutes. It was great to have so much time for snorkeling.

When everyone got back on the boat, lunch was served: cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. The cheeseburgers were regular-sized and tasted average.

After that, we all danced the hula, which turned out to be surprisingly fun. I have participated in dolphin encounters before, but since this included snorkeling and hula dancing, I think I would choose the university program again next time.

ヒルトンは朝6時に集合、10分前には迎えに来ていたみたいです。私達のときはプリンス→ヒルトン→シェラトンの順で送迎でした。
そこから一時間ほど車に乗り、ワイアナエハーバーへ。中型のボートに乗り、沖へ…となる予定でしたが、この日は運良く浅瀬の方でイルカに出会えました。
少し先に見えるイルカを目で追いながら急いで準備をし、海に飛び込みます。
泳げない人や海にあまり慣れていない人は船から海に落ちるのが少し怖いかもしれません。頑張って！
しばらく浮いて待っていると、イルカの群れが数個時間差でやってきました。海がとても透明な日で、以前見たときより数倍はっきり見えました。
イルカが向こうに行ったと思ったらまた帰ってきたり、近くに来てくれたり、本当に運が良かった日でした。
イルカたちを見送って船に上がり、今度はウミガメシュノーケル！以前は大小２匹が一緒に泳いでいたのですが、この日は中くらい１匹を皆で見ました。ツアー参加者で二人、ウミガメに触っている人がいました。びっくり…。。
皆で15分楽しんだあとはスタンダップパドル&ボート組とシュノーケル続行組に別れました。
スタンダップパドルとボートはホテルでもできるので、シュノーケル続行組にしました。
今日はウミガメ１匹かな、と少し残念でしたが、ひたすら信じて待っていたところ、計4～5匹ほど順番に現れてくれました。計30分くらいはシュノーケルしたと思います。時間的にたくさんシュノーケルできて良かったです。
皆が船に上がるとランチのチーズバーガー・ジュース・スナックが出ました。チーズバーガーは普通サイズで味も普通。
そのあとはフラダンスを皆で踊り、これが意外と楽しかったです。
イルカ中学にも参加したことがありますが、シュノーケルの長さとフラダンスがあるので次参加する場合はまた大学の方を選ぶと思います。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

If only I could speak English... 英語が話せれば・・・

Reviewed by: miyu

I don't understand Japanese at all, so it's quite difficult if you can't speak English. Even on the bus, while everyone was laughing, I felt a strong sense of alienation. I didn't know how to enter, and before I could call out, they quickly moved on... I was anxious about what would happen. I finally made it to the ticket booth, and a kind person there took me to my seat, and I was saved by a friendly American who happened to be sitting right in front of me. The seat I was shown was right in front! I thought it was amazing, but during the dance, dust from the aisle flew up, and I got covered in it. I think sitting a little further back would be easier to see. The situation up to that point wasn't great, but the show was much, much better than any I had seen before. This is what I wanted to see, and the dinner was plentiful and quite tasty, so I was satisfied.

日本語は全く通じないので英語が話せないと結構大変です。バスの中でも皆が笑ったりしているのに疎外感たっぷりです。入場の仕方もわからず、呼び止める間もなく、さっさと先に行ってしまうし・・・どうなってしまうのかと不安でした。チケット売り場へたどり着き、そこの親切な方が席まで連れて行ってくれたのとたまたま席の前に座っていた親切なアメリカ人の方に救われました。案内された席は真ん前！すごい！と思っていましたが踊りの際に通路のほこりが舞い、しっかりあびてしまいました。席は少し後ろが見やすいと思います。ここまでの状況は良くなかったけど、ショーは今まで見たところよりずっとずっと良かったです。こういうのを見たかったし、ディナーも量がたっぷり、味もなかなか良かったので満足しました。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Okcshelton

Good show, good food. Crafts were just OK. Some of the people working there were not really enthused about the whole thing. The food servers and performers were great. You can't use the Paradise Cove credit card at all booth's. Evidently some of the craft vendors are not directly connected to Paradise Cove and do not accept the card. If you just want to drink, then the card is great. The bar takes the card. I was here a few years ago, the show is better now, the food is better and the crafts are worse.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Awesome Luau!!!

Reviewed by: Frank and Seanna

Our first Luau and it was a lot of fun. The bus picked us up at the hotel and brought us back. The gals that drove and entertained us on bus "W" were awesome. The activities were great as was dinner. We sat in the Royal Box. There wasn't a picture of it anywhere that I could find, so I am including one. You are sitting at approximately the same height as the stage but about 50-60 feet away from the stage. The show was great and all the people were really nice. The sunset was gorgeous and presents an opportunity for some amazing photos.

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

Adults can enjoy it too. 大人も楽しめる

Reviewed by: kaorin

We had a bit of anxiety as adults, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues! With the day pass and shuttle plan, I was worried about lunch, but for just under $10, there were hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. We ordered the hamburger combo, and it was delicious! I'm glad we didn't choose a plan that included lunch. We'll definitely come back when we visit Hawaii again!

大人二人にちょっと不安がありましたが全く問題なく遊べました☆
１日パスと送迎のプランでお昼が心配でしたが10＄弱でハンバーガーやホットドッグ、ピザがあり私達はハンバーガーのコンボを注文。美味しい～♪昼食が付くプランにしなくて良かったと思いました(^^)
ハワイに来たらまた来ます♪

The pool in Hawaii is nice too. ハワイのプールもよい

Reviewed by: nayumi

In Hawaii, you might wonder about the pool, but there are attractions like slides that you can't find in Japan, and they were so much fun! I tried them about twice each, haha! I think it's great for those who love attractions!

Also, I took a 30-minute nap on a lounge chair in front of the wave pool, which felt wonderful and made me feel like I was relaxing on the beach. I believe everyone—friends, couples, and families—can enjoy it!

Additionally, the atmosphere and the color of the pool felt different from Japan, giving me a sense of being in a resort, which was very pleasant! Even though it was Golden Week, it wasn't crowded like in Japan, and the wait time was only about five minutes, so everything went smoothly.

Above all, the lifeguards were kind and greeted us with lovely smiles, making it a very comfortable experience. The warmth and smiles of the people in Hawaii are truly wonderful!

The only downside was that some attractions were not operational. I heard there are similar pools in other countries, so if I get the chance, I would definitely like to visit them!

ハワイで、プール？と思うかも知れませんが、日本にはないアトラクションのようなスライダーがあり、とても楽しかったです！だいたい、2回ずつほどチャレンジしました笑！アトラクションが好きな方にはすごくよいと思います！
また、波のプールの前にあるシートで30分ほど、お昼寝をしたのも大変気持ちよく、ビーチでゆっくりしている気分でした。
友達、カップル、家族みんな楽しめると思います！
また、雰囲気やプールの色でしょうか、日本とは違い、リゾートに来たかのような感じでとても気持ちが良かったです！
また、ゴールデンウィークでしたが、日本のように混み合っているわけではなく、並ぶ時間も5分程度と長い待ち時間がないので、スムーズで良かったです。
なにより、監視のお兄さんお姉さんも優しくとても素敵な笑顔であいさつしてくれたりととても心地よく、楽しむことができました！やっぱりハワイの方はあったかくて、笑顔が素敵ですね！
残念だったのは、いくつか動いていないアトラクションがいくつかありました。
他の国にも同じ系列？のプールがあるようでしたので、機会があれば、ぜひ行ってみたいです！
