Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

First time snorkeling!!

Reviewed by: Jon

Excellent adventure, was disappointed one of the family members had a fear of water that could not be overcome. The snorkeling was fantastic and the owner knew all the great places to go and see aquatic life. WIsh there would have been some sort of refund for the one member who could not get out in the water.

Beautiful experience!!!

Reviewed by: Michael

This was the most fun my girlfriend and I had. The water was a little murky the day we went out there, but you could definitly see all sorts of fish out there. It was our first time snorkling and our guide was excellent and stayed with us and continuously made sure we were all ok! He even showed us out where there were 2 huge sea turtles. We can't wait to go back!

Paradise!! 楽園！！

Reviewed by: kota

We participated with our family at the end of August!

Among the many dolphin tours, we chose Private Dolphin Middle School because the start time was late and it seemed easy to enter the water with the speedboat. The lack of information about meal times made it seem like meeting dolphins and turtles was the primary goal. And our expectations were spot on! It’s rare for things to go just as you hope, but this plan allowed us to play to our heart's content☆

Now, about the dolphins, on the day I participated, we were able to swim with them while they were playing in the shallow waters. At first, they seemed to be in a group, but then they split into two. I stayed with the smaller group, and they swam leisurely while playing, coming so close that I could almost touch them if I reached out! However, when they decided to swim fast, they were incredibly quick, and it was over in an instant as they returned to the open sea.

I was completely satisfied to have swum with the dolphins! After that, we moved to the sea where the turtles live. Here, we experienced another amazing moment!!! Swimming with the turtles was also incredibly wonderful. In terms of relaxation, I might even think that turtles are more soothing than dolphins... I felt like I caught a glimpse of the Dragon Palace.

Even now (September 11), I’m still soaking in the wonderful experience. Even though I just returned, I’m already thinking about participating again if I visit! (*^_^*)

８月末に家族で参加しました！

数あるイルカツアーの中で、私立イルカ中学を選んだのは、開始時間が遅い事と、スピードボートでしかも海に入り易そうな形であった事。食事時間等が書いてなくイルカやかめに合う事が第一目的に思えた事でした。
そしてその予想は大的中！！思った通りって実は中々ないのですが、「こうだったらいいのになっ」と言うプランで、思う存分遊ばせて頂きました☆

さてさて、問題(笑)のイルカですが、私が参加した日も、浅瀬で遊んでいて、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。
最初は、群れていたようですが、途中で二手に分かれました。私は少ないイルカについていたのですが、彼らは遊びながらゆったり泳いでくれて、手を伸ばせばあたっちゃう！と思うほどの距離まで近づく事もありました(*^_^*)
でもやはり本気になったら早い早い(笑)沖に戻って行くのはあっという間でした。

イルカと泳げた事で大満足！のうえ今度はカメを見に、カメのお家のある海まで移動。
ここでまた新たな感動が！！！カメと泳ぐ事もとってもとっても素敵です。癒しの要素で言えば、イルカよりもカメの方が断然上かもしれない・・・なんて思ってしまったりして☆
竜宮城を垣間見た気持ちになりました。

今（９月１１日）になっても、まだ余韻に浸るほどの、素晴らしさ。
また訪れたら絶対参加したいと、帰ったばかりなのにもう思ってます(*^_^*)

There are many dolphins♪ イルカが沢山♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

At 6 AM, a bus came to pick us up, and after about an hour of dozing off while swaying, we got ready and boarded the boat. As we set off, just a little offshore, we already spotted dolphins! After a few more minutes of traveling, we discovered a pod of dolphins!

Participants jumped into the sea one after another, wearing masks and fins, and we could hear the dolphins' calls. Although the dolphins were faster and kept a bit of distance, it was my first time desperately chasing after a dolphin swimming right below me. It was completely different from the dolphins at an aquarium and definitely worth seeing.

It might be a good idea to bring a larger bath towel. The water temperature was a bit low in the morning, and while the boat ride was fun and fast, it was cold on the way back. The snack set provided in a bag was very tasty and came in handy.

In the afternoon, we headed out to the North Shore and enjoyed the Tantalus night view.

朝６時台にバスでお迎えが来て、うとうとと揺られること１時間程。
準備をして船に乗り、さあ出発！と船が動き出してちょっと沖に出るともうイルカが！ここは見るだけで更に走ること数十分。イルカの群れを発見！
マスクを付けて、フィンも付けて参加者が次々に海に飛び込むと、イルカの鳴き声が聞こえて来ました。
一緒に泳ぐ、といってもイルカの方が速いし、距離はちょっと離れてたけど、自分のすぐ下を泳いで行くイルカに必死になって追いすがるなんて初めて♪
水族館のイルカとは全く違うし、一見の価値ありです。
大き目のバスタオルを持参した方がいいかも。水温は朝だからちょっと低いし、ボートはスピードがあって楽しいけど
帰りは寒かったな。
バッグ毎くれた軽食セットがとてもおいしく重宝しました。

For first-timers! I highly recommend it!! 初めての方！ぜひぜひおすすめです！！

Reviewed by: tana

Since I'm going to Hawaii, I wanted to go snorkeling! Since it was my first time snorkeling, I thought it would be best to have a guide, so my family of three joined this tour, even though the price was a bit high.

My first choice was in the morning, but since I signed up at the last minute, we ended up going in the afternoon. First, we were picked up right in front of our hotel by our instructor, Alan. We headed to Hanauma Bay with another group of six.

When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, we met up with a newlywed American couple, and Alan collected the entrance fee of $5 for those over 12 years old and paid it all at once. While we watched a nine-minute movie, he prepared everything in front of the trolley that goes down the slope, allowing us to smoothly access the sandy beach.

Since there were a lot of people this time, Alan assigned the newlyweds to one instructor, while Kiko and Aki, both Japanese instructors, took care of us Japanese participants.

They provided all the necessary equipment, including life jackets, mats, and a place to store valuables (you could also put in clothes and towels), and they even had water and some snacks ready.

The others were very skilled (sorry for being a bother), and I, who had no confidence in swimming, honestly thought during practice, "Should I just wait on the beach?" But Kiko encouraged me, saying, "Come on, put your head in the water!!" and patiently taught me how to use the fins, even holding my hand to help me see a lot of fish! I'm glad I didn't give up!!

"Everyone, come here~"
They showed us the viewpoint, and we were able to see sea turtles.

It lasted about an hour, which was enough time for me, as I tend to get cold easily. When Aki told me how far we swam from above the trolley station, I was surprised to find it was quite far. Alan said, "Everyone did well today. That's why we could go far." (Of course, he said this in Japanese.)

I actually considered a tour from a major travel company that was about the same price, but they mentioned that the instructors wouldn't manage valuables or guide us. To go far and to be shown viewpoints, having a guide is definitely better.

One regret I have is that I didn't bring my camera to prevent theft. I heard that in summer, the water tends to get murky, making it hard to take good underwater photos, but I wanted to take a commemorative photo with the beautiful bay in the background. Since there was a place to store valuables, I should have brought it.

せっかくハワイに行くのだから，シュノーケリングがしたい！初めてのシュノーケリングなので，お値段は高めですがガイドが必要だろうと親子３人でこのツアーに参加しました。

第１希望は朝だったのですが，ぎりぎりに申し込んだので午後からの回でした。
まずは，ホテルの前でインストラクターのAlanさん直々にピックアップ。もう一組の６名と一緒にハナウマ湾へ。

ハナウマ湾の入り口に着くとアメリカ人の新婚さんとも合流して１２歳以上の入場料＄５をAlanさんが集めて，まとめて払ってくれました。我々が約９分間の映画を見ている間に坂を下りるトロリーの前で準備してくれていて，スムーズに砂浜へ。

今回は人数が多かったので，Alanさんは新婚さんに，我々を含む日本人には，日本人のインストラクターのキコさんとアキさんがついてくれました。

ライフジャケットを含め用具＆ゴザ＆貴重品入れ（着替え，タオルなども入れるのも可）もしっかり用意されていて，水とちょっとしたお菓子も用意されていました。

他の方達はとても上手で（ご迷惑かけてすみません），泳ぎに全然自信がない私は，うまく息継ぎができなくて練習の時に「浜で待っていようか」と正直思いましたが，キコさんに「ほらっ頭つけて！！」と叱咤されてがんばり，うまくフィンが使えない私に根気よく教えてくれたり，手を引いてくれたりして魚をたくさん見ることができました！あきらめなくてよかった！！

「みんなここへおいで~」
とビューポイントを教えてくれて，ウミガメも見ることができました。

約１時間でしたが，冷え性の私には十分な時間。トロリーの発着場の上からアキさんにどこまで泳いだか教えてもらったら，かなり遠くまででびっくり。Alanさんは，「今日はみんなうまかったネ。だから遠くへ行けたよ。（もちろん日本語で）」と言ってくれました。

実際に某大手旅行会社の同じぐらいの値段のツアーも検討しましたが，インストラクターは貴重品の管理もガイドもしてくれないとのこと。遠くまで行ったり，ビューポイントを教えてもらうには，絶対ガイド付きがいいです。

後悔したことは，盗難防止のために持って行かなかったカメラ。夏は水が濁りやすいらしく，水中写真はうまく撮れないそうですが，きれいな湾をバックに記念写真を撮りたかった。貴重品入れがあるから，持っ

Encounter with a big fish. ビッグフィッシュに遭遇

Reviewed by: miki

I participated with my child in late August 2008. It was clear that they were considerate in their conversations during the car ride.

We met up with two more participants along the way, making a total of four of us heading to Hanauma Bay. After watching a video about Hanauma Bay, we took a trolley down. At the beach, we received equipment instructions, put on life jackets, and stepped into the slightly cold water. We practiced in shallower areas after a preliminary lecture. I already felt a bit out of place at this point. I held onto someone’s hand as we headed out.

There they were! Fish were swimming around normally, including some large ones over 50 centimeters long.

Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles, but it was clear they were trying hard to find them. With the underwater camera I brought, they actively took pictures of us and the fish.

You can manage valuables and changes of clothes in a large locked case. They even let me put in the slippers I wore. Mats and equipment are all available for rent. We received water and snacks at the end.

You can change clothes easily afterward, so I think it’s a good idea to bring some.

As a note, my underwater goggles didn’t seem to fit well, and water kept getting in, making me accidentally drink saltwater, which was quite uncomfortable. While all equipment is available for rent, it might be better to bring your own if you have something that fits perfectly.

We swam quite far out for about an hour. The water was pretty cold, and I was shivering afterward. A bath towel and a long-sleeved cover-up are essential.

For those who really want to see turtles, a tour to the North Shore might be better. We encountered turtles on the beach two days later on a different tour.

That said, for beginners, this tour offers hands-on guidance from start to finish, so I think it would be fun to go with friends.

　2008年8月下旬に親子で参加しました。
　車内で会話にも気を使ってくださっているのがよくわかりました。

　途中で2名と合流し、計4名の参加者でハナウマ湾へ。
　ハナウマ湾のビデオを見て、トローリーで下ります。
　浜で用具の説明を受け、救命胴衣を装着し、ちょっぴり冷たい水の中へ。
　さらに浅いところで、事前のレクチャーと予行演習。
　ここですでに落ちこぼれ感のあった私。
　手を握ってもらって、沖へ向かいます。

　いたいた！
　ふつーに魚たちが泳いでいます。体長が50センチ以上ある大きなものもいます。
　
　残念ながらカメには遭遇できませんでしたが、一生懸命探してくださっているのはわかりました。私が持っていった水中カメラで、私達や魚を積極的に写してもらえました。

　貴重品や着替えの管理などは、大きな鍵付きのケースでお願いできます。履いて行ったスリッパまで入れてもらいました。
　ゴザや用具類は一切レンタル。
　水とスナック菓子を最後にもらいました。

　終わってからの簡単な着替えは可能ですから、洋服を持っていくとよいと思います。

　注意点として、私の水中メガネがどうも合わなかったようで、水がよく入って塩水を飲んでしまったりして、途中とっても苦しくなりました。　
　用具は全て貸してはもらえますが、自分にぴったりのがあれば、それを持って行ったほうがいいのかもしれません。

　かなり沖へ向かい、一時間ほど泳ぎます。
　水もかなり冷たいので、あがってからは震えが出るほどでした。
　バスタオルや長そでの羽織るものは必須です。

　「どうしてもカメを見たい」という人は、ノースショアに行くのツアーのほうがいいかもしれません。
　私たちは二日後に、別のツアーで、砂浜に上がっているカメに出会うことができました。

　とはいえ、初心者の人は、手取り足取り教えてもらえるし、最初から最後まで安心して過ごせるツアーなので、友達同士で行くと、楽しいと思いますよ。

Reviewed by: atsuko

We participated with three adults and one child. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was very moved to see fish swimming within reach. Our child, who is four years old, was scared and didn't want to go into the water because he couldn't breathe well underwater, but our guide, Alan, carried him on his back, so we felt safe even when we went out to the open water. My mother also enjoyed her first snorkeling experience while holding onto Alan. The transportation from the hotel to Hanauma Bay was helpful, and once we arrived, the thorough explanations of the equipment by the guide made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

大人３人、子供１人で参加しました。
亀は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、魚が手の届く範囲に泳いでるのを見れてとても感動しました。
子供は４歳で海の中で呼吸がうまくできず怖がって海に入りたがりませんでしたが、ガイドのアランさんが背中に乗せてくれたので、沖まで出ても安心でした。
母も、アランさんにつかまりながら初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
ホテルからハナウマ湾への送迎も助かり、現地に着いてからも器具の説明など丁寧なガイドで始終安心して楽しめました。

I have been swimming with dolphins every year lately. このところ毎年イルカと泳いでいる。

Reviewed by: あんどう

Shortly after setting sail, we received news of dolphins! Although there were only a few, it was touching to see a mother and her baby swimming closely together (nursing?). When we hurried to chase them, they quickly swam away, but when we swam slowly, we could see their relaxed姿 up close. Later, at the turtle house we visited, there were about five or six sea turtles of various sizes resting, and they would occasionally come up for air, getting so close that we had to dodge to avoid bumping into them. For those who have never snorkeled before, practicing a bit beforehand will make the experience even more enjoyable. If anyone is heading to Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour.

　出航して早々にイルカ出現！の報せ。数は少なかったが親子で寄り添って（授乳？）泳ぐ姿が見られて感動。あせって追いかけると向こうも速いスピードで逃げていくけれど、ゆったりと泳ぐと彼らのリラックスした姿も間近に見られる。そのあと観にいった亀ハウスには大小５~６頭のウミガメが休んでいて、時々息継ぎに浮かんでくると急接近してぶつからないようにこっちが身をかわすほどだった。シュノーケリングをしたことがない人は、少しでも練習してから行くとより楽しめる。これからハワイに行く人がいたら、ぜひすすめたいツアーだ。

I got to see dolphins and sea turtles!! イルカと海亀に会えた！！

Reviewed by: ちい

The day before, my husband was down with a sunburn, so I participated alone, but the staff and the other participants were all warm and friendly, which made it enjoyable.

I was a bit anxious because I had severe seasickness during the shark tour the day before, but this tour's boat felt like a rafting boat, allowing us to enjoy a bit of thrill while heading out to sea. I didn't feel sick at all and had a great time.

There were so many dolphins swimming right in front of us, jumping around, and I was so excited! This time, the dolphins were swimming really fast... I wished they would swim a bit slower... The staff lamented, but when we timed it right and jumped into the water, there were so many dolphins swimming below us! It was incredibly moving.

I dove three times and saw dolphins each time. For the fourth dive, we went to a sea turtle spot. The turtles were swimming leisurely right nearby! They came close enough that I could reach out and touch them. I think there were about six of them. It was very mystical.

When I told my husband about it, he regretted not being able to join. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! I will be a repeat customer! Thank you very much.

　前日に旦那が日焼けでダウンし、１人での参加となったのでうが、スタッフはもちろん参加していた方達も温かい方達ばかりだったので、楽しく参加できました。
　前々日にサメツアーに参加した時、船酔いがひどかったので少し不安はあったのですが、このツアーのボートはラフテリングボートのような感じで少しスリルを味わいながら海に出たので、全然酔わずに、楽しかったです。
　イルカが目の前でたくさん泳いでいてジャンピングしている姿に大興奮！今回はイルカの泳ぐスピードが早い…もっとゆっくり泳いで~…とスタッフが嘆いていたのですが、タイミングと場所を見計らってドボンッと海の中へ入ると、下にいっぱいイルカが泳いでいる！！大感激でした。
　３回ダイブして全部イルカが見れました。
　４回目には海亀スポットへ。悠々と泳いでいる姿がすぐそこに！手を伸ばせばすぐ触れるぐらいの所まで海亀がきてくれました。６匹ぐらいはいたと思います。とても神秘的でした。
　旦那にも話をすると行けなかった事をすごく悔やんでいました。また次にハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいと思います！！リピーターになります！！

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー１のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

My elementary school daughters had a lot of fun too! ♪ 小学生の娘達もたくさん楽しめました～♪

Reviewed by: SATO家

I participated in a tour on July 8th. For my fifth and third-grade daughters, it was their first overseas trip, and amidst some anxiety, we finally got to meet wild dolphins, which had been our dream!

After reading various comments, I decided on this optional tour, but I had many concerns about whether my children, who had never snorkeled before, would really enjoy it... However, I called ahead to confirm, and their kind response put my mind at ease. We made sure to get enough sleep the night before, and with preparations like motion sickness medication, sunscreen, and measures against the cold after getting out of the water, the kids didn't feel burdened. We practiced snorkeling at Waikiki Beach the day before.

The staff taught us how to prevent fogging on the snorkels, how to put them on, and when to wear them, and since we wore life vests in the water, there was no worry about drowning.

On July 8th, we first snorkeled in a spot where colorful fish gathered, and we even encountered a turtle there. I was surprised that while snorkeling, my younger daughter was casually saying, "Ah! A turtle! Gill! Dory! Bubbles!" (Has she watched FINDING NEMO too much??). When we moved to the turtle point, a strangely-shaped turtle was swimming quite close to us. There was only one, but it seems my daughters touched its shell... Later, I told them, "You shouldn't touch it because it won't come back to the point." I'm sorry.

At the point where the dolphin pod was gathered, many boats were clustered. We entered the water while observing the dolphins and other boats to avoid startling them, and then we desperately but quietly followed the dolphins. Dolphins are graceful but swim so fast! (Of course, they do...) My younger daughter told me, "Mom! Swim faster!"

Next time we join a tour, she says her goal is not just to chase after the dolphins but to play with them as well.

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time. SATO's mother.

7月8日にツアーに参加しました。
5年生と3年生の娘たちにとっては初めての海外旅行で不安の中、念願の野生のイルカとの対面を果たしました！

いろいろな方のコメントを読み、このオプショナルに決めましたが、シュノーケル未体験の子供たちが本当に楽しめるのか沢山の不安が・・・
でも、出発前に電話をして確認し、親切な対応に一安心。
前の日に睡眠をとっていて、酔い止めや日焼け止めや海からあがってからの寒さ対策などの用意があれば子供たちに負担はかかりませんでしたよ。ウチはシュノーケルは前日にワイキキビーチで練習しました。
スタッフの方がシュノーケルのくもり止めやくもらないつけ方・着けるタイミングなども教えてくれますし、海での中ではベスト着用ですので、溺れる心配はありません。

7月8日は・・まず色とりどりの魚の集まる場所でシュノーケル、ここでカメにも出会いました。
シュノーケルしてるのに下の娘が「あ゛っ~カメ！ギル！ドリー！バブルス！がいる！！」（ＦＩＮＤＩＮＧ　ＮＩＭＯの観すぎ？？）と普通にしゃべっているのにも驚きました。
カメのポイントに移動すると甲羅の歪なカメが相当近くで泳いでいました。一匹でしたが娘たちは甲羅に触ったらしく・・後で「ポイントに来なくなるから触ったらいけないよ」と伝えました。ごめんなさい。
イルカ集団が集まっているポイントにはたくさんの船が集まっていました。
イルカを刺激しないようにイルカと他の船との様子をうかがっての入水、その後は必死にでも静かにイルカの姿を追いました。イルカって優雅だけど泳ぐの速い！（そりゃそうだけど・・）下の娘に「ママ！速く泳いで！」と注意されました。
次回ツアーに参加するときにはイルカの姿を追って泳ぐだけでなく、イルカたちと戯れたいのが目標だそうです。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。ＳＡＴＯ母

So, I desperately searched through various dolphin experience tours by reading testimonials and participant blogs to find the best option.

- Safe for beginners and those who are not good at swimming
- Japanese-speaking staff
- Friendly staff
- Opportunity to meet dolphins

After actually participating in this private dolphin school, my wife was thrilled to meet many dolphins, and thanks to the staff, my nervousness eased, and I was very satisfied.

Since we haven't participated in other tours, I can't compare, but my wife and I are glad we chose this tour.

Thank you very much!!

スタッフの皆さん、こんにちは。

先日、夫婦で参加させていただいた者です。
初めての参加で緊張していたのですが、
たくさんのイルカや亀、色とりどりの
魚にも会え、とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたいという妻の希望で
ツアーに参加しようと決めたのですが、
僕は泳ぎに自信がありません・・・

そこで、数あるイルカ体験ツアーから、
体験談や参加者のブログなどを読み、
どこが良いか必死に探しました。

・初めてでも、泳ぎが苦手でも安心
・日本語が話せる
・スタッフの感じが良さそう
・イルカと会えそう

実際に、この私立イルカ中学に参加してみて、
たくさんのイルカに会えた妻も大喜びで、
泳ぎが苦手な僕もスタッフのおかげで、
緊張がほぐれ、大満足でした。

他のツアーに参加したことがないので、
比べようもないのですが、僕たち夫婦は
このツアーに決めて良かった思っています。

ありがとうございました！！

It was so much fun!! 楽しかった～～！！

Reviewed by: ruby

I have dived before, but this was my first time swimming with dolphins! After about an hour's drive from the hotel, we got on the boat... and then we spotted a pod of dolphins!! Once we entered the water, we were surprised to hear the dolphins' cries after a while. They came close to us, and I was so moved. It was really fun. We moved to another spot and even got to see some turtles!

The staff were great, and it was a fun and friendly atmosphere where we could relax and enjoy the ocean! I think beginners would be fine here too~! I was also happy to receive a bag that had water and snacks in it♪ It's a bag that seems perfect for the beach~★

I want to go back to Hawaii and meet the dolphins again.

ダイビングはやったことあるのですが、イルカと泳ぐのは今回が初めて！
ホテルから1時間くらい車に乗って、ボートに乗って･･
すると、イルカの群れが見えてきました！！
海に入って、しばらくするとイルカの泣き声が聞こえて
くるからビックリ、
イルカが近くにやってきて感動しっぱなしでした。
ホントに楽しかったです。
ポイントを移動して、亀さんにも会えました！

スタッフさんも、楽しかったし、和気藹々として
リラックスしながら海を満喫できました！
初心者に方も、ここなら大丈夫だと思いますよ~！
お水や軽食が入っていたバックももらえて嬉しかったです♪
ビーチで活躍しそうなバックなんですよ~★

またハワイへ行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいです。

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

I participated in the Heaven's Sea tour... 天国の海ツアーに参加して・・・

Reviewed by: ﾊﾜｲ初心者

I participated in the afternoon tour. There were few people, and I felt like I had the stunning views all to myself! Additionally, I had no expectations for the lunch BBQ, but everything was delicious. On the day our group participated, the tide was high, and unfortunately, even in the shallowest areas, the water was up to my knees. I regret not being able to stand on the sandy beach in the middle of the sea, as shown in the photos... I would love to join again the next time I come to Hawaii.

午後のツアーに参加しました。人数が少なくて最高にきれいな景色を独り占めできたような感覚を味わえました！
それにランチBBQは、味は全く期待していなかったのですが、全ておいしかったです。
私達ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟが参加した日は潮が高く、残念ながら一番浅いところでもひざ上まで海に入ってる状態でした。
写真のように、海の真ん中で砂浜の上に立てなかったことが心残りです・・・。
次回ﾊﾜｲに来るときにもまた参加したいと思いました。

We were able to see a pod of dolphins right after departing on the boat. The baby dolphin and the mother dolphin were really cute. It was my first time snorkeling, so I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to enjoy it. Also, the sea turtles were large, which surprised me. The clarity of the water was amazing, and it was really beautiful. The sight of fish swimming attached to the shell of the sea turtle was truly stunning.

Unfortunately...!! 残念ながら、、、！！

Reviewed by: アイボ

I participated in a spiritual tour.

After about an hour's drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the dock where we were each given a snorkeling set and a life jacket.

From there, we transferred to a boat that could hold about a dozen people, but when I went, it was full, and my husband was instructed to sit on the edge of the boat (laughs).

And off we went! The Hawaiian breeze felt wonderful, and I was in the mood of "Hawaii is the best~☆".

We sped to the spot where dolphins had appeared the day before, but there were no dolphins there... After moving around for a while without seeing any dolphins, we decided to look for sea turtles first and went snorkeling.

There were so many sea turtles! We were able to see about three at once, and it was amazing.

After that, we searched for dolphins again, but no matter where we went, we couldn't find any (tears).

Since we didn't see any dolphins today, we unfortunately had to return to the dock...

I was really disappointed. I wanted to swim with the dolphins.

When we were leaving, a staff member said, "I'm sorry you couldn't see any dolphins," but since they are living creatures, it can't be helped.

This became the theme for my next trip to Hawaii.

As everyone says, it gets quite cold after being in the water and then getting back on the boat, so I think it would be good to bring something like a windbreaker.

That concludes my experience of not seeing the dolphins.

スピリチュアルツアーに参加しました。

ワイキキから車で1時間ほどしたところから船着場に到着すると、それぞれにシュノーケリングセットとライフジャケットを配られます。

そこから１０数名程度乗れるボートに乗り換えますが、
私が行ったときは満員で、旦那はボートのヘリに座るように指示されていました（笑

そこから出発です！ハワイの風が心地よくて、「ハワイ最高~☆」ってな気分です。

昨日イルカが現れたというポイントまで船を走らせますが、そこにはイルカおらず。。
しばらくあっちへこっちへ移動してもイルカがいなかったので、先に海がめを見ようということになり、シュノーケリングをしました。

海がめいっぱいいました。３匹くらいいっぺんに見ることができて、感激でした。

そこからまたイルカを探すのですが、行けど行けどイルカが見つからず（涙

今日はイルカは見られなかったとのことで、残念ながら船着場に戻ることになりました。。

本当に残念です。私もイルカと泳ぎたかったー。

帰るときにスタッフの人に「イルカに会えなくてごめんね」と言われましたが、生き物なので致し方ないですね。

次のハワイのテーマになりました。


皆さんが言うように、水につかった後に船に乗るとかなり寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーみたいなのを持っていくとよいなと思いました。


以上、見れなかった場合の体験談でした。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

I had a great time.
There were large groups of dolphins swimming so close that I felt I could touch them.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I was amazed.
There were also many colorful fish, which was mystical.
I felt very relaxed.
At first, I was quite anxious since it was my first time doing something like this, but the staff were all friendly and answered any questions I had, which made me feel at ease.
It was a very enjoyable day, and I would love to go again whenever I have the time!

とても楽しかったです
イルカの大群が居て、触れられそうな位近くまで泳いできます
海も今までみたことのないようなくらい綺麗で驚きました
色鮮やかな魚も沢山居て、神秘的です。
とても癒されました。
初めはこういうのは初めてなのでかなり不安でしたが
スタッフの方々も皆フレンドリーで何でも質問したら教えてくれるので、安心しました。
とても楽しい一日でした、また何時か時間があれば行きたいです！！

Just one word: wonderful! すばらしいの一言☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Recently, my wife and I participated in a dolphin watching tour. We've been on several tours before, but this one was exceptional. First of all, it was a small group (only nine people), and the staff were very kind.

We were lucky that day; within about 3 to 4 minutes of boarding the boat, we encountered dolphins! There were no other tour groups around, and we got to enjoy the sight of 30 to 40 dolphins all to ourselves! The dolphins were swimming in circles in the same area, allowing us to get close multiple times. It was truly moving.

After the dolphin snorkeling, I thought that was the end, but we changed locations for snorkeling with turtles. This was also an incredible experience. Even if you don't get to see dolphins, I believe it's still worth it. Since it's a nature-based tour, there's no guarantee of seeing dolphins, but I recommend trusting your luck and giving it a try.

The sea might be a bit cold, so I suggest wearing a rash guard and bringing a jacket that you don't mind getting wet for the boat ride.

先日、嫁と二人で参加。今までいくつかイルカウォッチングツアーに参加して来ましたが、別格でした。まず少人数制で（今回は９名）スタッフがとても親切。
この日は運が良かったのか、日頃の行いがいいからか、船に乗って約３~４分ですぐにイルカと遭遇！まわりに他のツアーの人もいなくて、３０~４０頭のイルカを９名で独占！イルカ達は同じ当りをぐるぐる回って泳いでいて、何度も接近することが出来ました。感動です。
また、イルカとのシュノーケンリングが終わり、おしまいかなと思ったら、ポイントを変えて亀とのシュノーケリング。
こちらでも又感動。もしイルカにあえなくても十分価値があると思います。自然相手のツアーなのでイルカと合えるかどうかは、100％ではないと思うけど、日頃の行いを信じ是非参加してみては･･･お薦めです。
若干海が冷たいかもしれないので、ラッシュなど着て、船で羽織れるパーカーなど濡れても良いものを持っていくことをお薦めします。

So many memories! So many dolphins!! 思い出いっぱい！イルカさんいっぱい！！

Reviewed by: ALOHAのOHANA

The dolphin tour with Dolphin Hawaii is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it!!

I have participated in dolphin tours with other companies multiple times, but this was the first time I was able to swim so leisurely with the dolphins. Since it’s a small group, we were able to take our time. Thanks to that, I could swim among the pod of dolphins and felt like I was included with them. It was truly moving—an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. Moreover, I was so happy to hear the dolphins' chatter with my own ears.

Also, the staff member, Yuriko, is wonderful and can communicate with the dolphins, which might be why we encountered so many of them.

The captain and staff are attentive, providing an excellent sense of privacy and safety. Everyone is kind, and their Japanese is great, making our conversations very enjoyable.

Oh, and the snorkeling gear and the boat were clean and well-maintained.

By the way, I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel sick at all! The boat rides like it's jumping over the waves, making it feel like an attraction, which was so much fun.

They also provided a bag with snacks like donuts, treats, and water at the beginning, so it was nice to eat whenever I wanted without worrying.

Of course, the tour is not just about swimming with dolphins; you also get to experience honu (turtles), tropical fish, crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, and the warmth of the locals. I truly recommend it!

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so much, Yuriko!!!

もう、イルカハワイさんのツアーは最高です！
絶対オススメです！！

他社のイルカツアーに何度も参加しておりますが、こんなにもイルカさんとゆっくり泳げたのは初めてでした。
少人数制なので、時間をゆっくりとって頂けました。
おかげさまで、イルカさんの群れの中で一緒に泳ぐことができ、仲間に入れてもらえた感じを味わうことができました。
もう感動の一言です。一生の思い出です。
しかも、イルカさんのおしゃべりを自分の耳で聞くことができ、とても幸せでした。
また、スタッフのYURIKOさんはイルカさんとコミュニケーションがとれる素敵な方なので、たくさんのイルカさんに出逢うことができたのかもしれません。

船長さんやスタッフさんの目が行き届いていて、プライベート感・安心感は抜群です。
みなさん親切だし、日本語も上手で会話もとっても楽しませて頂きました。

あっ、シュノーケリングの道具やボートなども綺麗で、清潔感がありましたよ。

そうそう、船酔いする私ですが、全然酔いませんでした！
ボートが波の上をジャンプするように走るので、アトラクションのようでとっても楽しかったです。

軽食はドーナッツやお菓子、お水などセットされたバッグを最初に渡して下さるので、気にせず好きなときに食べられるのもよかったです。

もちろん、イルカさんと泳ぐ以外にもホヌ（亀さん）やトロピカルなお魚さん、透明度の高い海、雄大な山々、ロコの温かさに触れることができるツアーで、本当にオススメです！

また、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

YURIKOさん、本当にありがとうーーーーーーーーー！！！

This is a very beautiful spot, lovely beach. I have been snorkling many times before including the Great Barrier Reef but have never done a guided tour. It was great to have a guide because he took us to places we would never have gone without him and saw much more. He new where all the hiding spots were. We saw so much more than if we had been just on our own. and what a great swim we had. Then snacks were provided after the tour. Well done! Cindi Johnston Whitby, On Canada

I was moved! 感動しました！

Reviewed by: ひろりん

I participated alone this time, but the staff and all the tour participants were very friendly, and I had a great time. In particular, the staff's hospitality made me feel comfortable and doubled the fun. I was truly moved to encounter so many dolphins and swim right next to them. I was also able to swim close to a sea turtle, which was cuter than I expected, and I completely fell in love with sea turtles. It was so adorable when it popped its head out of the water to breathe. I definitely want to participate again!

今回は一人での参加でしたが、スタッフを始めツアー参加者皆さん、とてもフレンドリーで本当に楽しかったです。
特にスタッフのホスピタリティあふれる対応は居心地がよく、楽しさも倍増でした。たくさんのイルカと出会え、すぐ横を泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。ウミガメも至近距離で泳ぐことができ、思ったよりもかわいく、すっかりウミガメが好きになりました。海面に息継ぎのためにプハッと顔を出すのがとってもかわいかったです。また是非参加したいと思います！
