Oahu
I thought that I might only see dolphins from a distance, but they came right up close enough to touch! I highly recommend this for those who are snorkeling for the first time or visiting Hawaii for the first time! My family was also visiting Hawaii and traveling abroad for the first time, and at first, we were a bit nervous, but all the staff were so kind that by the time we left, everyone was smiling. It was great to hear my family say, "Thank you for choosing this tour!" at the end!
イルカが本当に見れるのか、見れてもちょっと遠目からなんだと思っていましたが、手が届きそうなところまでイルカが来てくれました！
シュノーケリングが初めて、ハワイが初めての方にぜひおすすめだと思います！
私のファミリーもハワイ初めて、海外初めてで、最初は緊張気味だったのですが、スタッフの方がみんな優しくて帰る頃には皆にこにこの笑顔でした。最後にファミリーに「このツアーを選んでくれてありがとう」と言ってもらえたのが良かったです！

November in Hawaii is the rainy season, but it was sunny on the day of our visit!
It wasn't too early in the morning, and for a light breakfast, we enjoyed malasadas from Leonard's. The freshly fried donuts were delicious.
At first, we headed north by boat, but it turned out there were no dolphins, so we returned south. I was a bit anxious thinking we might not see any, but the professionals had the latest dolphin information, and when we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, everyone was thrilled.
Once we got into the water, it took a little while to get the hang of it, and I couldn't see them well at first, but I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyuu-kyuu," which indicated they were nearby. Once I got used to it, they came close, and it was incredibly moving to swim right beside them. There were baby dolphins too!
We saw a type of dolphin called the spinner dolphin, and it was true that they spin even in the wild. I witnessed them spinning a couple of times.
The water was a bit cold, so I rented a wetsuit for my upper body for $10. If you're worried about the cold, I definitely recommend renting one; it also helps with buoyancy.
I also had fun trying stand-up paddle surfing, which I had personally wanted to do.
I was so captivated by the dolphins that I didn't have much time to relax while snorkeling. I think the original plan was to swim with dolphins in the north and snorkel (to see sea turtles) in the south. However, we did catch a glimpse of a sea turtle from the boat on the way back. We also saw a seal come close to the boat, and it was adorable!
In diving, we encounter sea turtles almost every time, but for dolphins, you really have to search for them. I'm grateful to Dolphin University for their professional dolphin search.
The staff were also very friendly, and we had a fun and comfortable time on the boat. I definitely want to go again next time!
11月のハワイは雨期ですが、当日は晴れ！
朝も恐ろしいほど早くはなく、軽い朝ごはんに、「レナーズ」のマラサダをいただけます。
揚げたてドーナツは美味しいです。
最初、ノースのほうへ船を向けていましたが、イルカがいないことが判明し、南に戻りました。これは、会えないのかも。。と少し不安になりましたが、そこはプロ。イルカ情報が入り、船上からイルカの背びれが見えたらみんな大興奮でした。
海に入ってしばらくは要領を得ずに、うまく見られませんでしたが、イルカの鳴き声が「キュウーキュウー」と聞こえてきて近くにいることがわかりました。慣れてきたら、近くにやってきたのでしっかりそばを泳げてすごく感動的でした。子イルカもいましたよ！
あと、ハシナガイルカという種類で、野生でもスピンをするっていう話があったのですが本当でした。2度ほど、クルクルクルっとスピンするのを見られました。
少し水が冷たいので10ドルで上半身のウェットスーツを借りました。冷たいとテンションが下がるので、心配な人は絶対借りたほうがいいです。浮力も上がります。
あと個人的にやってみたかったスタンドアップパドルサーフィンも体験できて楽しかったです。
イルカに夢中でシュノーケリングはあんまりゆっくりする時間はありませんでした。たぶん、当初の予定では、ノースでイルカスイム、南でシュノーケリング（ウミガメ見る）だったのかなと思います。でも帰りの船の中から一瞬ウミガメも見られましたね。あと、アザラシも船に近付いてきて見られました。かわいかった~
ダイビングでは、ウミガメはほぼ毎回遭遇しますが、イルカは、やはり探さないと見つからないと思います。イルカ大学さんのプロのイルカ捜索に感謝です。
あと、スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーで、船の上でもずっと楽しく居心地のいい時間を過ごせました。
また次回も行きたいなぁと思います！

Had a great time. Sam made the trip very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.
It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.
イルカツアーは２回目です。（１回目は他社）
イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが
楽しかったです。
船上でもスタッフがあれこれ楽しませてくれました。
ウエットの貸出や、トイレだけなのか着替えていいのか、女性スタッフの言葉が足りなかったのがちょっと残念。

I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.
At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.
I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
Thank you very much.
イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
ツアーの最後にフラダンスを教えてもらうのですが、
正直、初めはあまり乗り気じゃありませんでしたが、
踊ってみると意外にも楽しい！！
もう少しフラレッスン時間があってもよかったと思う位でした。
帰りの着替える時間があればよかったかな？と思いますが、全体的にとても満足のいくツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

The malasadas for breakfast were delicious.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins up close! I also enjoyed my first experience with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
The hamburgers for lunch were tasty, and I had a fun day overall.
I highly recommend this Dolphin University!
朝食のマラサダ美味しかった。
イルカ先生も近くで見れて感激！ カヤックやスタンドアップ・パドルも初体験で楽しめました。
昼食のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。
このイルカ大学はめっちゃおすすめ！！

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.
Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.
After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.
I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!
夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ１００頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです！

Even non-swimmers can feel safe with life jackets, and there were families with small children having a great time, so I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy. All participants were able to see dolphins, and I dove three times, getting to see several dolphins directly below me, which was a lot of fun. However, on the day I participated, the water was murky and visibility was poor, and I couldn't see any tropical fish because of the murkiness. I would like to try again on a day with clear water.
泳げない人でもライフジャケットがあるので安心ですし、小さなお子様連れの家族もいてとても楽しそうで、どなたでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
参加者全員がイルカを見れましたし、私は3回もぐって、1回は真下に数頭見れてとても楽しかったです。ただし、私の参加日は水が濁っていて見えにくかったのと、熱帯魚は濁っていたため、見れませんでした。
普段の透き通った水の日にもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!
My friends and I love thrill rides, so we had a great time. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in long lines for our turn. The wave pool, in particular, had intense waves that were scary at first, but once we got used to it, we had so much fun that we could have stayed there forever.
私も友達も絶叫系が大好きなので、とても楽しめました。
あまり並ばずに順番が回ってきたので良かったです。
特に波の出るプールは激しい波で最初は怖かったですが、慣れてくるとずっといても飽きないほど楽しかったです。

I was glad to see wild dolphins. I was also surprised by how beautiful the ocean was. My child didn't like snorkeling because it was uncomfortable, but when we used regular pool goggles without fins, they were able to swim happily.
野生のイルカが見れて良かったです。海がきれいなのもビックリ。子供はシュノーケリングが息苦しいと嫌がったが、普段のプールのゴーグルで足ひれも無しにしたら元気に泳げました。

This is my third time at the pool, and I enjoy it every time. It's not crowded like pools in Japan, and I can slide down the slides pretty quickly, so there's no stress. The kids are also thrilled! My oldest child has reached a height of 137 centimeters this year, so they were able to go on all the slides, which made them very happy. I definitely want to go again next time!
3回目のプールなのですが、毎回楽しんでます。日本のプールの様に混んでいないし、結構すぐにスライダーも滑れるのでストレスがありません。子供たちも大喜びです！一番上の子供が今年は身長137センチになっていたので、すべてのスライダーに乗る事が出来たので、とても喜んでいました(*^^)v
また次も是非行きたいです。

It was really great!
I participated with my boyfriend, who usually dislikes tours, but he was very satisfied! The reason is that the staff's service was wonderful! Of course, we also got to meet the dolphin teacher, and it was the most fun memory of our six-night trip to Hawaii!
I definitely plan to participate again next time I go.
After returning to Japan, I recommended it to all my friends! Next time, I will join with a group!
ホントによかったです♪
彼と２人で参加したのですが、ツアー嫌いの彼も大満足♪♪その理由は、スタッフの方の対応が素晴らしかったです！もちろんイルカ先生にも会えたし、６泊のハワイ旅行の中でも一番楽しい思い出です♪
今度行った時も絶対参加しようと思います。
日本に帰ってきて、友達みんなにお勧めしちゃいました♪今度はグループで参加させてもらいます★

One thing I absolutely wanted to do in Hawaii was swim with dolphins. I participated alone, but most of the group consisted of couples, families, and friends, with one parent-child pair who were six years old. It was Silver Week, so there were more participants than usual, around 30 people.
The tour starts with malasadas from Leonard's Bakery. I felt a sense of superiority eating without waiting in line! And they were incredibly delicious!! After a little nap in the car, we arrived at the port and boarded the boat. We quickly spotted a pod of dolphins! We got close to them by boat and then entered the water. Although we had to swim, I got to meet the dolphin teachers. It was so moving!! Since we were swimming in deep water, I couldn't take good photos, but there were quite a few dolphins, so I enjoyed it multiple times.
Next, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. They provided food, so colorful fish gathered around us. You can also enjoy paddle surfing and kayaking. Just when we were getting hungry, cheeseburgers were served. They were delicious too!
Finally, we all danced together and took a group photo.
It was an early morning, but the tour was very satisfying as it offered not only dolphins but a variety of fun activities.
ハワイに行ってこれだけは絶対やりたい！と思っていたのがイルカです。
私は一人参加でしたが、カップルや夫婦、友達同士がほとんどで、６才の親子が一組いました。シルバーウィークのためふだんより参加者が多かったそうで、３０人くらいでした。
ツアーはまず、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダで始まります。みんなが並んでいるところを、並ばず食べられる優越感！しかもめちゃおいしい！！
そして車にゆられひと眠りしたところで港につき船に乗り込みます。
すぐにイルカの群れを発見！
船で近くまで行って、海に入ります。泳がないといけないですが、イルカ先生に逢えました。感動です！！深いところを泳いでいたので写真はうまく撮れませんでしたが、けっこうな数いたので何回も楽しめました。
続いては場所を移動して、シュノーケリングへ。餌付けをしてくれるので、カラフルな魚たちがたくさん集まってきます。パドルサーフィンやカヤックを楽しむこともできます。
そしてお腹がすいたところで、チーズバーガーの登場です。これもおいしかった~
最後はみんなで踊って集合写真。
朝早いですが、イルカだけでなくイロイロ楽しませてくれて大満足なツアーでした。

Recently, I participated with three friends. Perhaps because the waves were a bit high, the dolphins didn't swim close to us at first. After several attempts, we were finally able to swim with the dolphins on the last try. It seems they were cautious because they had a baby dolphin with them.
After that, we went to the snorkeling point, but there weren't many unusual fish that day, and the high waves made it feel like we might get seasick just floating in the water, so everyone decided to head back early.
One of my friends completely got seasick. They had prepared hamburgers for us, but while they were getting ready, the boat stopped, and it rocked a lot due to the waves. We all ended up not being able to enjoy the hamburgers and took them back to the hotel instead. The special taro bread hamburger was very delicious, but the seasickness was really tough, so I think it would be more enjoyable if the boat could keep moving during lunch.
The hula lesson afterward was pleasant and fun. I would love to repeat this experience if I have the chance again.
先日、友人と4人で参加させていただきました。
ちょっと波が高かったせいか、イルカは最初全然そばを泳いでくれなく、
何回か飛び込んだあと、最後の1回でイルカと共に泳ぐことができました。
どうやら赤ちゃんイルカを連れていて警戒心が強かったそうです。
その後、シュノーケリングポイントにも行ったのですが、この日はあまり珍しい魚がいなかったのと、やはり波が高くて水に浮いてるだけで酔いそうだったのでみんな早々に引き上げた感じでした。
友人のうちの1人は完全に船酔いでダウン。
ハンバーガーを用意してくれていたのですが、その食事の準備の最中から船が停泊してしまったので、思い切り波に船が揺れてしまい、私達は全員ハンバーガーどころではなく、結局持ち帰ってホテルでいただきました。
特製タロイモパンのハンバーガーということでとてもおいしかったのですが、ちょっとあの船酔いはホントにきついので
出来れば、船は停泊せずに進みながらお昼にしてもらえればもう少し楽しめるかなって思います。
その後のフラレッスンも気持ちよくて楽しかったです。
また機会があったらリピートしてみたいです。

I had an amazing time at a large pool in Australia before, so I was determined to go to one in Hawaii this time.
I signed up for the cheapest tour, which only included admission and transportation, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision! I was able to focus entirely on enjoying the attractions without wasting time waiting in lines for things like food.
While bringing in anything other than water is prohibited, the entrance security seems to be lenient, possibly because they think Japanese group tourists have good manners, so I think snacks like potato chips would be fine.
The thrilling rides and attractions that I’ve never seen in Japan were, of course, fun, but it was also great to ride with locals and get a tan while waiting. Everything felt so much more vibrant and happy on an international scale.
Thanks to this experience, I came back quite tanned! I would love to go again if I have the chance!
以前オーストラリアでこういう大型プールに行きものすごい楽しかったので、今回もハワイで絶対にいこうと決めていました。
入場料と送迎だけの一番安いツアーに申し込んだのですが、結果大大大正解でした♪
余計な時間(ごはんなど)に並んだり気をとられることなくめいっぱいアトラクションに集中して楽しめました！
水以外のもちこみは禁止ですが、入場セキュリティが甘いというか、日本人団体客はマナーがいいと思っているらしく見過ごしてくれるので、ポテトチップスなど余裕だと思います。
日本ではみたことない絶叫系の怖いすべりだいや乗り物などはもちろん楽しいのですが、そこで現地の人と乗り合わせたり、待っている間に日焼けできたり、すべてが海外規模でハッピーでした。
おかげで帰ってきた今では真っ黒です！
また機会があれば行きたいですー！

The facilities for children are well-equipped, and the kids had a great time. There are many types of slides, so even the smaller slides for young children have a reasonable wait time, even when crowded.
In addition to the slides, they also enjoyed water guns, mushrooms with flowing water, and shooting fountains.
Moreover, the waves in the wave pool were high, adding to the thrill.
However, since we visited on a Sunday, attractions meant for families had long lines, and we had to give up on some of them.
Also, since the pickup time was at 2:30 PM, I felt that a little more time would have been nice.
子供向けの施設が充実していて、子供たちは大いに楽しんでいました。
スライダーは種類も多いので小さな子供向けのスライダーも
混んでいてもそれ程長時間並ばなくても順番が回ってきます。
スライダーのほか水鉄砲や水の流れ落ちるキノコ、吹き上げる噴水なども楽しんでいました。
また、造波プールの波は高く、スリルを楽しんでいました。
ただ、参加した日が日曜日だったためか、家族で乗るよう
なアトラクションは長蛇の列で断念せざるを得ませんでした。
また、ピックアップ時間が14時30分でしたので
もう少し長くても良いかなと感じました。

There were many slides that you can't find in Japan, and it was very fun.
I don't like roller coasters, but I was able to enjoy them while being a bit scared.
For smokers, there is a designated smoking area, so you can feel at ease.
There is a place to buy food near the lockers, and most menu items were around $10 (like the fries set).
If you order a single item, I think the cheeseburger was the cheapest at around $5...
For women, there were simple spaces for toilets, showers, and changing clothes☆
(I heard that men didn't have showers.)
So, you can change!
The lockers are large and cost $18.
You get $5 back when you return.
Please be careful as it can be cold inside the bus!
日本にはないスライダーの数々で、とても面白かったです。
ジェットコースター嫌いな私ですが、びびりながら楽しめました。
喫煙者の方は、喫煙スペースがあるので安心して下さい。
食事はロッカー近くに購入するところがあって、大体が約１０ドルのメニューでした。（ポテトのセット）
単品だとたしかチーズバーガーが一番安くて５ドル位だったような・・・
女性は、トイレ・シャワー・着替える簡易的なスペースがありましたよ☆
（男性は確か、シャワーがなかったと言っていました。）
なので、着替えられます！
ロッカーが大きいロッカーで１８ドルです。
帰りに５ドルバックがあります。

Dolphin University is amazing! ★
This is my second time participating, following last year! I met so many dolphins last time, but this time there were even more! They spun right in front of us and came to play very close by.
The reason I want to enroll again is not just the dolphins, but also because the president, Yuriko, is absolutely wonderful! I will definitely come back to enroll again soon!!
イルカ大学最高です★
去年に続き二度目の参加です！前回もたくさんのイルカに会えましたが、今回はそれを越えるイルカの群れでした！

We participated as a family.
There were many inflatable slide attractions, and even the adults had a lot of fun.
It’s a primitive system where you receive an inflatable ring from those who have finished and carry it back to the starting position yourself.
The BBQ chicken was delicious, but it felt like a waste of time to eat.
It was disappointing that the attractions were suddenly interrupted, possibly due to staff breaks or inspections.
The wave pool had waves that were almost painfully strong, which was entertaining.
The kids were thrilled and said they want to go again.
家族で参加しました。
浮き輪のスライダーが多くあり、大人もかなり楽しめました。
終わった人から浮き輪をもらい、自分達でスタート位置まで運ぶという原始的なシステムです。
ＢＢＱはチキンが美味しかったですが、食べる時間も勿体ないくらいでした。
スタッフの休憩時間なのか、点検なのか、突然アトラクションが中断されるのが残念でした。
波のプールは痛いくらい強い波で、面白かったです。
子供は大喜びで、また行きたいそうです。

On the day of the event, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sea was incredibly clear and calm—it was the best! We got to meet the dolphins multiple times, and each time, I jumped into the water to swim with them. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the turtles, but I had a great time swimming with colorful fish that looked like something out of a fairy tale and kayaking. My son still talks about how delicious the cheeseburger he had on the boat was since we returned to Japan. The staff members were very cheerful and made it a fun experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
参加日当日はお天気にも恵まれて、とっ~ても海がきれいで穏やかで最高でした。イルカ先生達にも何度も会えて、その度に海に飛び込んでイルカ先生達と同じ海を泳ぐことができました。カメ先生の姿は私は残念ながら見ることはできませんでしたが、竜宮城のような色とりどりの魚達と一緒に泳いだりカヤックに乗ったり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。息子は船上で食べたチーズバーガーがとっても美味しかったっと日本に帰ってきた今でもよく話しています。
スタッフの方々もとっても明るくて楽しかったです。また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいと思いました。

We have been to this water park for the last 5 years in a row. We have four teens and they want to go each year. There are more rides now and the kids are occupied the entire time. We don't pay extra for the buffet because it is not really that enjoyable for teenagers. They prefer the hamburgers and fries that they can get whenever they want. The buffet is more multicultural and more formal. They do not have enough poolside chairs and alot of parents sit on the grass by the lazy river. The parents would float longer in the lazy river but there are not enough inner tubes and you have to get out of the lazy river after one turn around and get back in line. For parents in there 40's or even 50's that becomes tiresome. There is a hot tub for adults over 21 but it is not open the entire time. As far as the kids are concerned this place gets 5 ***** stars! They have a really great time and love it! If they love it then I want to take them:)
When I went before, it was Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. I was wondering if the essence remained the same even with the name change. However, the slides and attractions had changed, and it had become a park that my middle school-aged sons could enjoy. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Hawaii.
以前に行ったときは、
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャーパークでした。
名前は変わっても中身は一緒かなー？なんて思ってました。
でも、スライダーとかも変わっていて、中学生の息子達も

Great trip.
During our honeymoon trip to Oahu, we definitely wanted to visit Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. To sum up my impressions, I highly recommend it! We participated in an optional tour, and since there weren't too many people, we enjoyed our favorite attractions multiple times. One attraction we particularly liked was a seemingly simple pool that generates artificial waves. The waves are quite high, making it feel like a mini attraction, and we had a lot of fun.
One thing to keep in mind is that for slide-type attractions, you need to secure your own floaties or boogie boards at the bottom of the slide before climbing to the top. In Japan, it seems like staff would hand them out at the top, but if you forget, you'll have to go back down to get them.
新婚旅行でオアフ島へ訪問したときに是非これは行ってみたいということでウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイに行ってきました。
感想からいうと是非おすすめですよー。オプショナルツアーで参加したのですが、人もそんなに多くないので気に入ったアトラクションを何回も行きました。私達が気に入ったのは、一見地味ですが人工波が出るプールです。結構な高さの波が出てくるのでちょっとしたアトラクション級で楽しめますよ。
注意しておいた方がいいのが、スライダーのような滑る系アトラクションに必要となる浮き輪やビート板みたいな器具は各自滑り台の下で確保して頂上に登る仕組みみたいです。日本だと頂上で係の人が渡してくれそうですが、間違えるとまた麓まで取りに行くことになりますよ。

There were some repeat visitors among the group I went with. I definitely want to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

First of all, this tour has a high quality. Usually, expensive tours aimed at Japanese people always have a Japanese guide, but this tour does not. However, there is an excellent local guide who understands the Japanese spirit and provides detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all. I felt that this tour was thoroughly researched for Japanese participants.
Of course, regarding the important rendezvous with the dolphins, this was the closest encounter I've had on any tour so far, and it really felt like we were swimming together. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to meet dolphins. I was also impressed by the service that sends a group photo if you register your email (of course, for free).
まず、このツアーはクオリティーが高いです。
通常は、日本人向けの値段の高いツアーには必ず、日本人ガイドがいるのですが、このツアーにはいません。
しかし、日本人の心を理解した優秀な現地ガイドさんがいまして、きめこまやかなガイドをしてくれるので、英語がチンプンカンプンでも全然オーケーです。
かなり、日本人向けに研究されているツアーと感じました。
もちろん、肝心のイルカとランデブーですが、今までのツアーの中で一番の最接近で、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じがしました。
イルカと逢いたいツアーをお探しの方は、おすすめです。

I participated in this tour on June 25, 2010. The account contains quite a few spoilers, but I believe the quality of the tour is so high that spoilers don't matter at all.
I had previously participated in a similar tour with dolphins, but I prefer this dolphin university tour. The previous tour was quite tough, and the care for participants was just "normal," which left little room for fun and made me feel exhausted both physically and mentally. In contrast, the dolphin university provided exceptional care that felt like true "hospitality." I was able to relax and enjoy myself while also thoroughly enjoying the dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish. I highly recommend it for first-timers and families. My 74-year-old father had a great time and, despite initially saying he wouldn't go into the sea, he ended up jumping off the boat multiple times and was in high spirits.
The pickup was indeed early at 5:30 AM (for the morning session), so I was a bit sleepy, but once I got in the car, the energetic enthusiasm of our tour guide, Yuriko, chased away my drowsiness. Before getting on the highway, we stopped by the popular donut shop "Rainer's Bakery" for breakfast, where I enjoyed a freshly made "Malasada," which is currently quite trendy. After about an hour, we arrived at the harbor where the "Island Princess" (with restrooms) was waiting, passing by the former residence of the former grand champion, Konishiki.
We boarded the Island Princess, and with Captain PaPa and the seven crew members, we set off to search for dolphins! Shortly after departure, we offered a song to the sea, "Ehomai," and at the end, we tossed a "Plumeria" flower into the water... praying for a good voyage. This was wonderful.
Now, the entire crew, including PaPa, was on the lookout for dolphins. During this time, while receiving explanations about life jackets and other equipment, we were delighted to be served a large bowl of pineapple. The one distributing it was Yuriko's adorable child, Kamadi. It was a delightful treat for my dry throat. After about 30 to 40 minutes, we encountered our first pod of dolphins. They were friendly and playful "Bottlenose Dolphins." All participants successfully swam with the pod. (Although, to be honest, the dolphins were much faster, so swimming together was a challenge for us humans.)
2010年6月25日にこのツアーに参加させていただきました。手記がかなりネタバレ的ですが、ネタバレなんか気にならない位のクオリティの高いツアーだと思います。
以前にもイルカの大学と同様なツアーに参加した事がありましたが、私の好みでは今回のいるかの大学の方が好みです。以前の参加したツアーは、かなりタフな内容で、参加者に対するケアが「普通」でしたので、遊びが少なく心身共にグッタリといった感じでした。対してイルカの大学は、参加者に対するケアがなんと言うか「おもてなし」の心意気を感じる素晴らしいものでした。心身ともにリラックスして遊ぶ事ができ、それでいてイルカ、海亀、熱帯魚も申し分なく堪能できました。初めての方や、ファミリーの方々には本当にお勧めです。74歳になる私の父も安心して大はしゃぎして、当初は海には入らないと言っていた事などどこ吹く風で、何度も船から飛び込んでノリノリ状態でした。
ピックアプは流石に5：30と朝早く（午前の部）ちょっとネムネムでしたが、車に乗ったらツアーガイドのユリコさんの元気すぎるテンションに引っ張られて眠気はどこかへ。
高速道路に乗る前に、朝ごはん代わりに人気のドーナツショップ「レイナーズベーカリー」に立ち寄り、これまた最近ホット（cool？）なドーナツ「マラサダ」を出来立てフカフカで頂きました。その後小一時間、ウエストコーストへ、元大関小錦邸の前を通って「アイランド・プリンセス号」（トイレ付き）の待つハーバーへ到着。
アイランド・プリンセスに乗り込み。キャプテンのPaPaさんはじめ7人のクルーと、先ずはイルカ探しへGO！。出航して直ぐに、海に「エホマイ」の歌を捧げ、最後に「プルメリア」の花を海へ・・・。良い航海になる様に祈りを捧げます。これは良かったですね。
さて、PaPaさんはじめクルー総出でイルカ探しです。その間、ライフジャケットの等の用具の説明を受けながら、うれしい事に大鉢一杯のパイナップッルのサーブを頂きました。配ってくれたのは、ツアーガイド・ユリコさんの可愛いお子さんカマディ君。ちょっと乾いていた喉にはうれしい御馳走でした。30~40分すると最初のイルカの群れとの御対面。人なつこく遊び好きの「ハシナガイルカ」だそうです。参加者全員イルカの群れと泳ぐ事に成功。（と言ってもイルカの方が遥かに早いので一緒に泳ぐのは人間に

"Prestigious Dolphin University" was truly amazing. We took a boat to a spot where we could see dolphins every day, almost 100% of the time, and jumped into the sea with snorkeling gear.
Following the staff's lead, I swam along and when I put my face in the water, a huge pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me! They came up to the surface to breathe and jumped together with us. Even though they weren't trained in an aquarium, they could jump in perfect sync. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I never expected to see dolphins so up close. Just floating in the water and watching the dolphins was so healing! For those who aren't confident in swimming, the staff will pull you along with a rope, so it's very reassuring.
Next, we went to a spot with sea turtles. I was able to swim alongside the turtles perfectly.
The staff included both Japanese and Hawaiian members, and there was a dedicated photographer. The photos taken by the photographer were later available on DVD, and I was glad I purchased them because they captured many moments, including pictures from when we were in the water and candid shots on the boat.
I never got bored on the boat during the transfers. I was particularly captivated by the handsome local guide and the stunning photographer. For lunch, they grilled hamburgers on the boat, which were absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed a very elegant atmosphere while relaxing to Hawaiian music.
In this tour, we referred to the dolphins and turtles as "Dolphin Sensei" and "Turtle Sensei," and they truly taught us the wonders of nature.
As a souvenir, I received an eco bag printed with "Prestigious Dolphin University." It was a very enjoyable tour that I will remember for a lifetime, and I would love to participate again!
「名門イルカ大学」本当に最高でした。
イルカが毎日１００％と言っていいほど見られるというスポットへ船で行き、シュノーケリングの道具を付けて海にジャボーンと飛び込みます。
スタッフの方の先導に泳いで付いて行き顔を海につけると、目の間にイルカの大群が！
空気を吸いに水面に出てきて、みんなでジャンプします。
水族館で調教されていなくても、ピッタリ息の合ったジャンプができるんですね。
海もとてもきれいで、こんなに間近でイルカが見られるとは思ってもいませんでした。
海にプカプカ浮かんでイルカを眺めているだけで、本当に癒されます！泳ぎに自信がない方は、スタッフの方がロープで引っ張っていってくれるので安心です。
次に、ウミガメのいるスポットへ行きます。
ウミガメもバッチリ一緒に泳ぐことができました。
スタッフの方は、日本人の方とハワイの方がいて、専属のカメラマンもいます。
カメラマンさんが撮った写真はDVDに焼いたものを後で購入するのですが、海に入った時の写真や船の上のスナップ写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえたので購入してよかったです
移動中の船の上も飽きることがありませんでした。
特に現地のイケメンガイドさんと、超美人のカメラマンさんには見とれてしまいました。
食事はハンバーグを船の上で焼いてハンバーガーにしてくれるのですが、もちろん味は最高だったし、ハワイアンミュージックが流れる舟でのんびりとしてとても優雅な気分に浸れました。
このツアーでは、イルカとカメを「イルカ先生、カメ先生」と呼ぶのですが、まさに大自然の素晴らしさを教えてくれる大先生でした。
お土産に「名門イルカ大学」とプリントされたエコバックをもらえました。
一生記憶に残るとても楽しいツアーでした、また参加したいです！

The large bus shuttle made it easy to travel comfortably. The good thing about taking the time to go there was that there are various types of pools and attractions that can only be found here, allowing for water play suitable for different ages.
On the day we visited, both the lazy river and wave pool were too crowded, making it dangerous for small children (no outside floaties allowed, rentals available). Although I thought we could play quite a bit from 10:30 to 14:40, it felt busier than expected. I think once is probably enough.
大型バスの送迎でゆったり行き来は出来ました。
わざわざ時間を掛けて行って良かった点は
色々な種類のプールやここにしかないアトラクションがあるので年齢に応じて水遊びできる事位。
私達が行った日は流れるプールも波のプールも人が多すぎて
小さい子供は危険でした（浮き輪など持込禁止･レンタル有）
10:30~14:40まで結構遊べると思いきや思いのほか慌しい感じでした。
１度行けばいいかなという感じです。
