It was a small group tour with only three groups. We were able to see dolphin spins and sea turtles, and it seemed like we snorkeled in a different location than usual, which was a valuable experience. I was especially glad to see the sea turtles up close. Our Japanese guide, Minako, was particularly attentive, which was very reassuring. Thank you very much.
3グループのみの少人数のツアーになりました。イルカのスピンやウミガメを見ることができ、シュノーケリングもいつもと違う場所でさせていただいたようで、貴重な体験でした。特にウミガメは近くでも見ることができてよかったです。日本語ガイドのミナコさんには特に気にかけていただき、大変心強かったです。ありがとうございました。
レビューを読んで酔い止めを飲んでいって正解でした。縦揺れが強い時は薬を飲んでいても酔いそうになったので、飲んでいなかったら危なかったと思います。
Aloha! Thank you, Akira, for participating in the Dolphin University. It must have been a precious experience to see the dolphins spinning against the beautiful backdrop of West Oahu.

The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.
海が濁っており透明度は今一でしたが、普段体験できない海の中を見る事ができ最高でした。

You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.
We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.
The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.
Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!
To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

For our first activity in Hawaii, we chose Dolphin University. On the two-story boat, we could enjoy cruising on the upper deck while feeling the wind before meeting the dolphins. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with light rain, but there were plenty of dolphins. Dolphins have the second-largest brain size after humans, and they swam around the boat, seemingly aware of us. Along the way, the kids got a bit seasick, but overall, we were able to finish the trip in good spirits. I would love to try again on a sunny day!
Also, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. There are warm water showers on the boat, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by bus from Waikiki. However, they turned off the air conditioning on the way back, which was reassuring.
ハワイの最初のアクティビティとして、イルカ大学を選びました。2階建ての船で、イルカに出会う前までは2階で風を感じながらクルージングできます。あいにくの曇りと小雨でしたが、イルカは沢山居ました。イルカは人間に次ぐ脳みその大きさで、なかなか空気を読んでくれて船の周りで泳ぎ回ってくれました。途中で子供達がseasicknessになりましたが、おおむねご機嫌で終わることができました。また晴れの日にチャレンジしたいですね!
あと、着替えはあったほうが良いです。温水シャワー船内にありますし、ワイキキからはバスで40〜50分かかります。でも帰りはエアコンOFFしてくれるので、安心でした。
There's also a dolphin school, and you can dive into a more active pod of dolphins. However, since you go on a small boat, it's easy to get seasick, so it might be better suited for those who are accu

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.
The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.
The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.
It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.
Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.
After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.
The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.
ワイキキの中心部シェラトンワイキキ横から出港。
全て英語で、日本人はいません。
説明は分かりやすいので、なんとかなります。
ライフジャケットは、自分で空気を入れて含ませるタイプですが、他社でも使われていて、しっかり空気を入れれば問題ありません。
ウミガメシュノーケリングは出港して直ぐのワイキキ沖。
今回は2匹いました。
今回、ウミガメを探すのに時間がかかりましたが、その間は様々な魚とシュノーケリング。
餌付けをされているのか、近づいきて、一緒に泳いでいる感覚を味わえます。
シュノーケリングの後は、セーリング開始。
無料のスナックの他、有料でアルコールもあります。
シュノーケリング後、ハワイのカラッとした気候の中で飲むビールは最高でした。
セーリング中の波は、少し高いですが、船が双胴船なので問題なし。
慣れると楽しいアトラクションになります。

Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.
受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは2匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨
朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑 イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました! そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹 船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨
The boat can be quite rocky, so try to look far away and relax. It gets cold when you come out of the water, so bring a windbreaker or a large towel. Enjoy the ocean, anyway!

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.
当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。
次回も参加したいと思います。
You can participate with children without worry. The staff are all wonderful, and you can have a great time. I truly recommend it. If you come to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!
子供連れでも安心して、参加できます。スタッフさんの良い方ばかりで楽しく過ごせます。本当におすすめだと思います。
みなさんもハワイに来たら、是非参加してみて下さい。

This was one of the best catamaran cruises I’ve been on. My husband and I had our last full day on the island and i wanted to snorkel to see the Honu . So we booked this excursion and it was the best way to end our honeymoon . The crew is amazing and so friendly . Me being and island girl and my hubby from the mainland i had to give him the best experience before we left . This did not disappoint . I can only remember Phoenix name but everyone on 5/18 1145 crew were wonderful. The sailing after the snorkeling was a great way to end the adventure . I recommend this highly . MAHALO !
If you’re prone to getting sick please take something prior. No fun watching people vomit in water

The front office was incredible as we changed our plans 2x and they accommodated us! The crew was very friendly and we saw several turtles and tons of fish. The catamaran was extremely smooth and everyone in our party had a blast! Highly recommend this excursion.

My 3-year-old child couldn't dive into the sea yet, but I wanted to show him sea turtles and fish, so we participated. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles, and my son was very happy. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but the timeshare sales staff provided detailed instructions, which was helpful.
3歳の子どもはまだ海に潜れず、でもウミガメや魚を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。
運良くウミガメも見られて、息子も大喜びでした。
集合場所が少し分かりにくかったですが、タイムシェアの営業の方が詳しく教えてくださったので助かりました。
The meeting place is at the sign for Atlantis Submarine, and when I mentioned my name, I was told to come to the pier in XX minutes. There was a roof and a place to sit and wait at the pier.
集合場所はAtlantis submarine の看板があるところで、名前を告げると桟橋のところに〇〇分に来てと言われました。
桟橋には屋根と座って待機する場所がありました。

There was a Japanese-speaking staff member, so I didn't have any anxiety about communication throughout the tour! I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.
The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!
日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした!イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか?らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです!
I was fine because I took motion sickness medication. At first, I didn't plan to borrow a wetsuit, but it was cold, so I ended up borrowing one. I think it depends on the weather.
酔い止め飲んでいたら私は大丈夫でした。初めはウェットスーツ借りるつもりはなかったのですが、寒かったので借りました。。
天気によると思います、、
Aloha, Haru! Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. We sincerely apologize for not being able to find any dolphins on the day of the tour. The captain and crew kept searching until the end, communicating with other boats, but since everything happens in the wild and nature, this is part of it. Thank you for the five-star rating despite the circumstances. Your positive comments are encouraging for the crew. Since we couldn't encounter dolphins on this tour, we would like to offer you a 50% discount on your next tour (there is no expiration date). If you wish to take advantage of this, please contact us by phone or email. When you come back to Hawaii next time, the entire crew will do our best to ensure you meet the dolphins! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! はる様。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございましまた。ツアー当日はイルカを見つけることができず残念な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。キャプテンとクルーは最後まで諦めずに他の船と連絡を取り合いながら探すのですが、全てが野生と自然の中でのことなのでこれも自然の一部。そんな中での5つ星をありがとうございます。前向きなコメント、クルー達の励みになります。今回のツアーではイルカに出会えなかったので、次回チャレンジしていただける際にはツアー料金の50%OFFで参加いただけます(期限はありません)。ご希望の場合は電話かメールでお問いあわせください。次回ハワイにいらっしゃるときも、クルー一同、全力でイルカ達と出会えるようにがんばります!はる様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

I'm glad I took motion sickness medication after reading the reviews. There were times when the vertical swaying was so strong that I felt like I might get sick even with the medication, so I think it
