I couldn't be active due to seasickness, but when I started to feel a little better, I swam with dolphins! It was simply the best! The sight of so many dolphins swimming was truly breathtaking! It's something I've only seen on TV. Additionally, there were many sea turtles that day! It's a regret that I couldn't swim with the sea turtles because my seasickness worsened. The staff were friendly and fun, making it an enjoyable experience, aside from the seasickness. Watching the sunrise at the beginning of the tour was also amazing! I would love to join this tour again!
船酔いでアクティブにできなかったですが、船酔いの具合がちょっと調子が良くなった時にイルカと泳ぎました!
最高の一言です!!
たくさんのイルカが泳いでる姿はまさに圧巻!
テレビでしか見た事ない光景です。
それにこの日はウミガメさん達もたくさんいました!
船酔い悪化してウミガメさんと泳ぐ事ができなかったのが心残りです。
スタッフさん達も気さくで楽しい方々で満喫できました。船酔い以外は。笑
ツアー序盤の朝日を見るのも最高でした!
また参加したいツアーです!

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close! It was so moving!! The flow of the tour is generally set, but it's not strict, so they were flexible enough to allow us to dive twice to see the dolphins, and even prioritized seeing the sea turtles over paddle boarding when time was running out. I was very satisfied! Also, the people on the boat were very friendly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while heading to our destination. However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must!!
イルカもウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来ました!
感動!!
ツアーの流れは大まかには決まっていますが、絶対ではないので、イルカを見るために2回潜ることが出来るようにしていただけたり、時間がなくなってもウミガメを見ることを優先して、パドルバードはしないなど、臨機応変に対応していただけるので、とても満足しました!
また、船に乗っている方達もとても気さくで、乗っている間も楽しみながら目的地まで行く事ができました。
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止めは必需品です!!
Aloha, Sena!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour this time. We are very pleased to have been able to help you create wonderful memories during your stay in Hawaii.
On the Big Island, there is also Manta University at Dolphin High School. It will definitely be an amazing and invaluable experience that you can only have in Hawaii! If you have the opportunity, please be sure to join.

Thank you for taking care of us on the 11:00 AM departure course on November 1st. The thorough safety checks and explanations beforehand made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Although I'm not great at understanding English, the repeated explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand well, and I feel like I learned something in English too, haha.
Traveling by boat takes some time, but during that time, the staff entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing to the music, which was very fulfilling. We were also blessed with good weather, and the staff, both men and women, were wonderful people. It was truly the best experience. Thank you! ☆
11/1の11時出港コースでお世話になりました。
安全確認など事前の説明が丁寧で安心して楽しめました。
私は英語の聞き取りも得意ではありませんが、英語の説明と日本語の説明を繰り返してもらえるので、
十分理解できますし、英語の勉強にもなった気がします笑
船での移動はある程度時間がかかりますが、その間、スタッフの皆さんがウクレレで歌を歌ったり、音楽に合わせてダンスを踊ったりと、とても充実していました。
天候にも恵まれましたし、スタッフの皆さんも男性女性ともに素敵な人達で、本当に最高でした。

Since I was with my mother, who is not a strong swimmer, and my 2-year-old child, I participated for the first time. It was interesting just to see the submarine surfacing while we were out on the cruise ship. Additionally, the time spent out at sea allowed us to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean side, and Diamond Head looked beautiful as well, making for a pleasant little cruise. As for the diving itself... it felt like there were fewer fish than I had imagined, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking. It might be due to the season.
かなづちの母と2歳のこどもが一緒だったので、初参加しました。
クルーズ船で沖まで出て、そこに潜水艦が浮上してくる様子を見るだけでも面白いです。
そして、沖に出る時間もワイキキの景色を海側から眺められ、ダイアモンドヘッドもきれいに見えますので、ちょっとしたクルーズも楽しめます。
肝心の潜水は・・・というと・・・想像していたよりも魚が少なく、見ごたえ感は弱い印象でした。季節によるのかもしれません。

My friend couldn't make it for personal reasons, so I participated alone! I was the only one attending solo; everyone else was with friends, couples, or spouses, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, once I got on the boat, I became engrossed in searching for dolphins, and when I was snorkeling, I focused on swimming, so it was fine! I also got to see hula dancing and enjoyed a delicious hamburger, which left me satisfied. Since I couldn't swim with the dolphins or turtles, I received a half-price ticket for the next time, so I definitely want to participate again!

I participated in a monitor tour!
Since I was staying at Hilton Village, the pickup was at 5:30 AM from the bus stop at Ilikai Hotel! I was a bit anxious because it was dark outside for such an early gathering, but there were many people at the meeting point, so I didn't need to worry. We took an hour-long bus ride to the location where the boat was. During that time, Julie shared a lot of information about Hawaii to keep us entertained! From dolphin ecology to the history of Oahu and recommended spots... it was definitely worth listening to! Julie was very passionate about her work, and it was clear she wanted us to have a great time. Even though it was our first meeting, she welcomed us warmly like a friend, which made it easy to feel comfortable.
The ocean in October is said to be very cold, and I initially planned not to rent a wetsuit, but it was the right decision to take Julie's recommendation! The ocean in October is really cold!! And within just five minutes of the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins…!! I never expected to meet them so quickly! I hurriedly jumped in, and while swimming with the unfamiliar fins, I heard the signal, "Look down!!" When I looked down, there were so many dolphins!! The dolphins swimming right below me came so close that I could almost reach out and touch them! I never thought I would see them up close like this, but I truly experienced what it feels like to swim with dolphins (*^^*).
I also enjoyed canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling rushed. The boat staff and the photographer were all very friendly!! They took lots of photos for us (*^^*). There are many dolphin tours available, but if you want to spend a fun day with everyone as a group, I definitely recommend enrolling in Dolphin University!
モニターツアーで参加させて頂きました!
ヒルトンビレッジに宿泊だったのでイリカイホテルのバス停朝5時半のピックアップでした!
朝早くの集合で外は真っ暗で不安でしたが、集合場所には沢山の人が集まっていてそんな心配は要りませんでした。
バスに乗ってから1時間かけてボートがある場所まで移動します。その間退屈しないようにジュリさんが沢山ハワイについてお話してくださいました!イルカの生態話やオアフ島の歴史にお勧めのスポットまで…この話だけでも聞く価値アリです!
ジュリさんはとても仕事熱が強く、私達を楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わりました。初めて会うのに、友達のような暖かい感じで迎えてくれたので、とても馴染みやすかったです。
10月の海はとても寒いらしく、ウェットスーツは借りないつもりでしたが、ジュリさんのお勧めで借りて正解でした!10月の海はとても寒いです!!
そしてボートを走らせ5分もしないうちにイルカの群れが…!!まさかこんなに早く出会えるなんて‼慌てて飛び込み、慣れないフィンを使って泳いでいると、『下ミテー!!』という合図が!!
真下をみると沢山のイルカが!!そして真下を泳いでいたイルカ達は手を伸ばせば届くくらいの近さまで来てくれました‼まさかここまで近くで見れるとは思っていませんでしたが、本当にイルカと一緒に泳ぐ気分を味わえました(*^^*)
カヌーやSUPも時間に急かされる事なくゆっくり楽しめました。
ボートのスタッフさん、カメラマンさん、皆さんとてもフレンドリーです‼
写真もどんどん撮ってくれました(*^^*)
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、皆と一団になって楽しい1日を過ごしたい方は是非イルカ大学の入学をお勧めします!

The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess?

We used this service as a couple last December. The waves were a bit high, and the round trip to the watching area made me quite seasick, which was unfortunate. If you are prone to seasickness, it's essential to take something to prevent it. There were sharks all around the cage, and it was quite thrilling.

The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.
I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.
During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.
The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.
イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。
イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。
ウェットスーツを1人10ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。
自由時間にはSUPとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。

We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!

I participated with my son, a first grader who loves sharks, and my family. I was worried about the high waves, but we were able to see plenty of sharks while wearing life jackets. The gaps in the cage were quite wide, making it seem like a child could easily slip through, which was quite terrifying as a parent. However, my child held on tightly to the bars of the cage, so it was okay. One of the Spanish women who entered the cage with us wore water shoes, and they hit my body hard, which was very painful. Everyone is supposed to take off their sandals and shoes before boarding the boat, but it seems that this was overlooked. It's best to be cautious and check if the people in your group are wearing shoes or sandals. Other than that, I was very satisfied.
サメ好きの小学校1年生の息子と家族で参加しました。波が高くてどうなることかと思いましたが、ライフジャケットを着せてたっぷりサメを見れました。ゲージの隙間がかなり広くて、子供は容易にすり抜けられそうなほどでしたので、親としてはかなり恐怖でしたが、子供はしっかりゲージのバーにつかまっていたので、大丈夫でした。一緒にゲージに入ったスペイン人の女性の一人が、あろうことかウォーターシューズを履いて入ったので、靴ががんがん身体にあたってとっても痛かったです。船に乗船するときサンダルや靴はすべて脱いで入っているはずなのに、漏れていたようです。一緒に入るグループの人が靴やサンダルを履いていないかどうか、気を付けていたほうがいいです。それ以外は大満足でした。

I participated in the trip with my sister!
We were the only Japanese participants among the attendees, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, I was a bit anxious at first. However, the staff explained things using gestures, simple English, and broken Japanese, so I didn't have any major issues.
They provided us with a guidebook that had the tour flow and precautions written in Japanese, so as long as you read that, there are no problems!
We went out to sea on a boat and once we arrived at the spot, we put on our snorkels and entered the cage.
Swimming with the sharks in the beautiful deep blue sea was more fun than I imagined!
You can bring an underwater camera or smartphone into the water, so you can take photos and videos with them in waterproof cases.
I usually don’t get seasick, but I took motion sickness medication just in case.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and some people looked a bit worn out...
I think the motion sickness medication is essential.
If you want to relax, that's great, but if you're looking for something a little different!
If just going to the beach or shopping isn't enough for you!
This tour is highly recommended! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I participated on October 16. I understand that the visibility in the water was not as good as I had expected and that there weren't many fish, which I attribute to the season and weather. However, during the underwater photography session, I had a very painful experience because I had to force my family of four together, and my hands and feet got caught in the scooter. Furthermore, despite paying $75 for the photos and videos, I am very disappointed that they have not yet been sent to me.
10月16日に参加させて頂きました。海中の透明度が思っていた程でなく魚達もそれほど多くはなかった事は、時期や天気に依るものと納得しています。が、水中撮影の時、家族4人を無理矢理寄せ集めた為に、手や足がスクーターに挟まれて非常に痛い思いをしました。更に、$75-も支払い写真&動画を購入したにも拘らず、未だに送られてこないのは非常に残念でなりません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
As mentioned in a separate email, we have received reports that when operating the underwater scooter according to the instructor's instructions, hands and feet should not extend outside the scooter, thus preventing them from getting caught in other scooters. However, upon reviewing past tour experiences and photos, we found that some customers were operating the scooter with their hands and feet extended outside. To prevent this from happening again, we have requested the operating company to review their explanation of the correct way to ride the underwater scooter. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of explanation from the operating company.
Regarding the photos you purchased, as mentioned in a separate email, we have already sent them to the specified email address. Please check.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I had a great time with well-trained, intelligent dolphins. The local instructor taught us in an easy-to-understand mix of English and Japanese, making it enjoyable.
よく訓練された賢いイルカと楽しい時間が過ごせました。インストラクターの現地の方もわかりやすい英語に日本語も混ぜて楽しく教えてくれました。

Everyone, from a 6-year-old child to a man over 60, had a great time! Luckily, we also encountered a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, which was amazing!!
6歳の子供から60歳すぎのおじさんまで、みんな楽しめました!運がいいことに、イルカの群れとウミガメにも出会えて、最高でした!!

I participated with my elderly parents. I chose this tour from many available ocean tours because I wanted to show my parents, who had never interacted with wild dolphins, and I also wanted to swim with them.
It was also important whether the boat had a toilet. However, I thought it would be nice to have one, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
First of all, I felt that you need to be physically fit. Using fins for the first time took a lot of energy. I had to work hard to swim and catch even a small chance to see the dolphins. The dolphins swam away quickly before I could even get used to snorkeling, and I was surprised at how fast the first encounter happened!
It reminded me of my time in sports club activities. It was such a feeling that when we finally saw the dolphins together, I was truly moved.
I thought I would invite my parents to experience the underwater world, but I felt a bit guilty thinking that if I struggled, they would too. However, it seemed they enjoyed themselves on the boat. They were excitedly saying things like, "There were dolphins with their babies!" and "I think I saw flying fish!" It made me happy to see my parents acting like children.
For snorkeling, I recommend the waters on the opposite side of Oahu Island rather than this side, so I wouldn't recommend this tour for that. However, if you have a strong desire to swim with dolphins, I hope you will build up your stamina and participate!
This tour was filled with the warm feelings of the staff who wanted everyone to see the dolphins. Thank you for having a dedicated photographer who captured wonderful memories of the trip. The price might be high, but I want to say thank you for creating lasting memories for me, as I felt this might be the last trip with my parents.
Thank you for taking such beautiful photos! My father and mother's best smiles were captured there!
年老いた両親とともに参加しました。野生のイルカに触れ合ったことのない両親に見せてあげたいという気持ちと、私が一緒に泳いでみたいという理由から数多くある海のツアーから選びました。
また船にトイレを備え付けているかも重要な点でした。しかし、これはあればなおよしぐらいな気持ちでよいかなと思います。
まず、体力ないと無理だと感じました。フィンを使うのが初めてだとまずそれに体力使いました。またほんの少しのチャンスに食らいつくために懸命に顔をつけて泳ぎます。スノーケルをつけて泳ぐのもならないままあっというイルカは泳ぎ去ってしまい最初のアタックはあっという間でびっくりしました笑
運動部の部活を思い出しました。そんな感じでしたのでみんなでイルカを見れたときにはほんとうに感動しました。
自分が体験して両親もできたら海の中は誘おうと思ってましたが、自分もこんな感じなのに無理だなと思い申し訳無い気持ちも起こりましたが、船の上ではそれはそれで楽しめていたようです。イルカが親子でいたよ!トビウオもいたみたいよ!などと子供のようにはしゃぐ親の姿が嬉しかったです。
シュノーケルするにはこちら側の海ではなくオワフ島の反対側の海がオススメなのでこのツアーはオススメしませんが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!って気持ちが強い方は是非体力つけて参加してほしいなと思います^^
皆んなにイルカを見せてあげたいって思うスタッフさんの暖かい気持ちが詰まったツアーでした。専属にカメラマンさんがいて旅の良い思い出も残してくれてありがとうございます。値段は高いかもしれませんが、もう両親とはこられない最後の旅となる気持ちの高かった私には残るものを作ってくれてありがとうと言いたいです。
写真綺麗にとってくださりありがとうございました!父や母の最高の笑顔がそこにありました!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School this time! I hope the tour you attended with your parents became a wonderful memory. I would love for everyone to look back on those memories together with the photos. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ご両親と一緒にご参加いただいたツアー、素敵な思い出になったのであれば幸いです。皆様でお写真と一緒に思い出を振り返っていただければと思います。MAHALO!!

The experience of being on a submarine was good, but the waiting time was long, and I wished that photo opportunities were limited to those who wanted them.
The explanations were played in Japanese through headphones, but the live English voice was loud and overlapping, making it difficult to hear.
I didn't see many fish, and the colors weren't vivid. I understood well the importance of environmental protection.
潜水艦に乗れる経験は よかったが、待ち時間が長くて 写真撮影は、希望者だけにして欲しかった。
説明が日本語でヘッドホンから流れるけれど生の英語の声が大きくて重なり 聞き取りづらかった。
魚があまり見られなく、色も鮮明でなかった。環境保護の大切さは良くわかった、

Our group of four "seniors" wanted to experience this unique water activity during our visit to Oahu. The underwater scooter adventure exceeded our expectations. The entire team from Bob's was very helpful to all of us onboard. They did a great job of communicating to not only those of us from the U.S. but were able to converse with the customers who were from Japan and needed communications in their native language.
We had been given appropriate safety briefings before heading out to the dive site. The outdoor temperature in mid October was in the mid 80s so not uncomfortable. The water temperature was a reasonable 75+ but we adapted to it as soon as we got into the water on the scooters.
The divers gave us appropriate underwater instructions to get us going and to set up the underwater photos for each person. We did have unusual trade winds that caused some bouncing and rolling in the boat but once in the water on the scooter or when snorkeling, it was mitigated. The water was clear and we had a variety of fish that swarmed around us as they were feeding on the food that the divers attached to the scooters. A unique feeling to have all of these colorful fish surrounding you in their environment.
We also had the opportunity to see a number of sea turtles both under water and coming to the surface. It would have been great to have had more time actually underwater but we only could accommodate 2 - 3 people underwater at one time. It probably would have been more enjoyable from the customer perspective with a few less onboard the boat.
Our group did take the opportunity to do some snorkeling after we completed our time on the underwater scooters. All in all a great time to remember and yes we did buy the photos especially for the video that was offered as well.
We have not been able to access our photos yet as we are still on vacation and will need to do so when we get home. Hopefully, they will be as delightful to watch as what we experienced

This was my third time using the service, and I have enjoyed it every time. It was my first time participating with a large group, and everyone was thrilled with the turtles. It got a bit windy and cold after a while, but we were still able to enjoy sailing.
私は利用が今回で三回目でしたが、毎回楽しいです。
初めて大人数での参加でしたが、みんなカメに大喜びでした。
ちょっと風か強く上がってから少し寒かったですが、セーリングも楽しめました。

We went on our honeymoon. During the car ride, we received a fun and easy-to-understand explanation about dolphins. Perhaps we were well-prepared, as many dolphins welcomed us right away. Once we got in the water, I found myself completely absorbed with the dolphins, feeling joyful and happy! It was the best!
It was so much fun to see dolphins jumping right in front of me, and I encountered generous dolphins with a great sense of service. I also got to see turtles nearby, which made me feel relaxed. It was nice to take things slowly. The colorful fish were also very cute.
The photos became wonderful memories. I truly felt fulfilled in many ways (the hamburger was delicious), thank you very much.
ハネムーンでいきました。車中で、イルカさんについての楽しくわかりやすい説明をうけました。準備バッチリだったのか、すぐにたくさんのイルカさんが迎えてくれました。入水し、気づけば無我夢中でイルカさんに、アロハ~楽しい!幸せな気持ち!最高!
目の前で水面でクルッとジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神の旺盛な気前のいいイルカさんに出会えて楽しかったです。亀さんも近くに見れて、ゆったりとした気持ちに。ゆっくりでいいんだぁなぁ~色とりどりのお魚さんもとってもかわいらしかったです。
写真もいい思い出になりました。ほんとにいろんな意味でお腹いっぱいになり(ハンバーガーおいしかったよ)、ありがとうございました。
Aloha Yoshi and Tomo!!

Thank you for participating in the tour.
We appreciate your kind words.
Next time, please make sure to prepare for seasickness (such as bringing motion sickness medication) and come swim with the sea turtles.
We would also love for you to share this experience with your friends in Japan.
We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.
