Last year, I had to just observe because I wasn't feeling well, so this year was my long-awaited participation! It was just amazing... Not only did I get to have a class with Dolphin Sensei, but I also swam for a long time with Professor Turtle, and I really think it changed my life. During Dolphin Sensei's class, the snorkeling was a bit fragmented, and I thought it might be physically challenging, but I was able to swim as much as I wanted during the subsequent snorkeling, and it was so much fun! I thought I might go two or three times during my stay, haha.
Oh, and the boat was upgraded, which was great! My mother was happy that it was easier for her to jump in. Our belongings didn't get wet, and it was clean, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries.
去年参加した際、体調が悪く見学になってしまったため、今年は念願の参加でした!
もう、なんていうか最高でした…
イルカ先生に授業してもらえただけでなく、カメ大教授とも長く泳げたし、たぶん本当に人生変わったと思います。
イルカ先生の授業の時はシュノーケリングが細切れ?で、ちょっと体力的に大変かな?とも思ったのですが、その後のシュノーケリングを満足するまで泳げて楽しかった〜♡
滞在中2、3回いってもいいかもと思いました笑
そうだ!船がグレードアップしててよかったです!
母が飛び込むの楽になって喜んでました。
荷物も濡れないし、綺麗で心置きなく楽しめました(^-^)

We reserved shuttle service. We were waiting at the pick up point from 10min before the pickup time. We couldn't find the shuttle. We were waiting and I called to the office 10min later of pick up time. They said that they yelled out my name, but I didn't hear. They just left. Why not calling to me?
So, I took a taxi to get there with my money. BOB tour was canceld, because of lack of people. So, we joined to another group.
Totally lack of responsibility. I don't trust that they yelled out my name at the pickup point.

I signed up for this tour because I love dolphins.
We stopped the boat in an area where dolphins are often seen, and when I entered the water and followed the instructor, there were dolphins right below my feet!!
It felt more like seeing dolphins in the same ocean (the same space) from a distance rather than swimming with them. For someone like me who wanted to swim together, it was a bit unsatisfying.
However, with short fins and simple life jackets provided, I think this tour can be enjoyed even by those who are anxious about swimming or lack physical strength.
On the boat, the co-captain was very engaging, which made the experience enjoyable. It was also clear that the other staff members were trying to entertain the guests, which was great.
Thank you very much.
大好きなイルカと泳げるとのことでこのツアーに申し込みました。
イルカがよくいるところに船を停めて、入水しインストラクターさんについていくと足元の下の下のほうにイルカが!!
一緒に泳ぐというよりは、遠くのほうにいるイルカを同じ海の中(同じ空間)で見る感じでした。
一緒に泳ぎたかった私にとってはちょっと物足りなかったです。
ただ、フィンも短く簡易なライフジャケットがあるので泳ぎに不安がある人や体力に自信がない方でも十分に楽しめるツアーかと思います。
船上では副船長にたくさんかまって頂いて楽しむことが出来ました。他のスタッフさんもお客さんを楽しませようというのが伝わってきたのでとても良かったです。

A little while ago, I thought it would be great to see whales, so I signed up for a tour.
On the day of the tour, the weather was nice and perfect for cruising, but the sunlight was so strong that it almost blinded me, haha.
As for the whales, I encountered them about five times, just barely seeing their heads in the distance. I really wanted to see them jump, but I guess that's just a matter of luck.
少し前ですが、せっかくなのでクジラを見てみたい!と思い申し込みました。

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!
The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.
By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...
初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか?日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本(これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利)と、乾いたビーチタオル(なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う)があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

In the sea with the best transparency, I was able to encounter a pod of nearly 150 dolphins. The dolphins didn't just swim past us quickly; they circled around us multiple times.
They swam so close that I could clearly see their eyes, rather than just appearing small in the distance. On the contrary, I was filled with surprise and emotion, wondering if it was really okay for them to come so close.
The staff also provided strict instructions for safety, but at the same time, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, allowing us to have a truly enjoyable time.

In addition to fish, I was able to see sunken ships and airplanes on the seabed, which made me feel like I was exploring the ocean floor, and it was a lot of fun. I also encountered sea turtles and sharks. It's a shame I didn't get to see any whales! Unlike going into the sea, there's no need to change clothes, so it's easy to participate.

Some were apprehensive about diving under the helmet to get into it but after that it's amazing as you get to see fishes and even turtles up close. You also get a fish food sponge to lure scads of fishes to you - just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way, or you may get a nibble! The safety divers guide your scooter and show you where to go (and some take video for sale later). The only possible discomfort may be if you don't equalize the pressure as you dive or ascend - this can be done several ways (such as swallowing or yawning - I couldn't get the "pinch nose and blow" method to work). Otherwise it's a blast. You also get to hang around a bit - on the boat or swimming or snorkeling - while the other groups are on the scooters.

This activity allows you to enter the pool with dolphins and touch them directly. My 3-year-old was scared and needed to be held, but they were able to touch the dolphin and even give it a kiss on the cheek. My 5-year-old was totally fine with it. We planned to buy photos later, thinking that just the kids' pictures would be enough, but unexpectedly, Dad had a smile we had never seen before while kissing the dolphin, so we ended up buying the photo (laughs). After the dolphin pool, there is plenty of time to explore the park at a leisurely pace. The kids were really into the area where they could feed lettuce to the fish.
イルカと同じプールに入水して、イルカに直に触れられるアクティビティです。3歳の子は怖がってしまい、抱っこしながらでしたがイルカに触って、ほっぺにキスもできました。5歳の子は平気です。写真を後で購入するのですが、子供の写真だけで十分!と思っていたら、まさかのパパが見たことないくらいの笑顔でイルカとキスをしていたので、写真買ってしまいました(笑)イルカのプール後も十分時間があるので、園内ゆっくりみてまわれます。魚にレタスをあげられるコーナーに子供がハマっていました。

We participated as a couple. I convinced my wife, who can't swim, to challenge herself by entering the 5.2-meter pool with the paid option called Shark Trek, where you swim with sharks. However, unfortunately, the day we attended was Keiki Day, Hawaii's Children's Day, and many attractions were canceled, so we couldn't take on the challenge. The only thing we could participate in was an attraction where we could touch dolphins from outside the pool, which was included in our reservation. The park is small and has few attractions, so we just had lunch and took a nap at the food court. I wish the reservation page clearly indicated which attractions were available and which were not. It turned out to be a wasted and disappointing day in Hawaii.
夫婦で参加しました。泳げない妻を説得し、有料オプションのシャーク・トレックというサメの泳ぐ5.2mのプールへ入っていくことに挑戦しするための参加でした。しかし、最悪にも参加日がケイキ・デ―というハワイの子供の日で、色々なアトラクションが中止で挑戦することが出来ませんでした。唯一、予約に入っていたプールの外からイルカを触るアトラクションに参加できただけでした。パークとしては小さくアトラクションも少ないので、あとは、フードコートで昼食と昼寝しかしませんでした。予約ページの中にアトラクションは何が出来て、出来ないものは何かをはっきりと表示して欲しかった。ハワイでの無駄で悪い思い出となった1日でした。

I had done dolphin watching before, but I had never swum with them, so I decided to participate. The dolphins were only there for a moment, but I was close enough to touch a sea turtle! It was so moving! I also tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and even though I was wobbling, I managed to stand up and ended up playing until the very end while other groups returned to the boat. The energetic staff and photographer made the time fly by. When I asked people who have been to Hawaii, they mentioned that this experience is quite famous? I heard that it can be hard to make a reservation... I think I understand why it's so popular!

Overall, there were no issues.
On the submarine, Japanese was played through headphones, so the children probably didn't mind at all.
For example, if they could understand even simple English like "you can see the submarine when you go up on the deck," it seems they would be fine without the Japanese guide time in the morning.
Of course, the children were very excited about being on a submarine for the first time.
概ね問題無し。
潜水艇ではヘッドフォンで日本語は流れてくるので、子供は全く気にならなかったはず。
例えば、船上に上がると潜水艇が見えるとか、そんな英語さえ判れば、午前中の日本語ガイドタイムで無くても大丈夫そうです。

I'll start with the positive.
The crew is young and enthusiastic. Everyone had smiles and was helpful with the gear.
This is a great excursion for tourists and beginner snorkelers. Great vivews of the Eastern part of the island and a pleasant swim with sea life. The crew teaches everyone how to use the equipment and will help people in the water. They spend about 20 minutes at each site so, for experienced snorkelers, it can be a little dull.
The hotel pickup was on time and the driver was good. The van is new and the ride was smooth.
You will be visiting with Spinner Dolphins. They are small dolphin and swim in pods of 30. The captain knows their favorite spots and will make sure you get to swim with them. By law, you will need to be wearing a life jacket to do this part of the swim. We got to see two pods. It was delightful. This tour company was knowledgeable about dolphins and is conerned with their safety.
We stopped at two more snorkeling locations. The fist stop was a small cove and the second had turtles.
The lunch at the Spinner cafe was good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty and well prepared. The menu is small but the portions are big. The pancakes looked really good.
The reason for my 3 stars is not the quality of the company but an incident I had. The crew should be better trained in basic fist aid. I ended up treating myself with the supplies I keep in my bag. After asking if I was okay, no one helped or checked on my for the rest of the trip.
I would recommend this for people visiting Ohau and beginner snorkelers.
Warm Aloha,
