ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー　迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 ＜送迎可＞

More than I expected. 思ったより(*´-`)

Reviewed by: ピカチュウ

We were picked up at our hotel in Hawaii at 5:30 AM! From there, it took about an hour to get to the North Shore, where we switched to a boat and listened to an explanation. Since there was no Japanese guide, I could only catch bits and pieces. They lent us goggles, and we entered the cage to be among the sharks. The sharks were quite calm and swam around us leisurely. They seemed to be fed regularly, so they were pretty docile. But still, they were sharks!! It was quite impressive! I had an incident where the goggles didn't fit well, and seawater got into my nose, causing a nosebleed, but overall, I think I enjoyed it! If you're prone to seasickness, I recommend being prepared. I think this is an experience you can only have in Hawaii, so definitely consider joining the tour!

朝5時半にハワイホテルにお迎えきました！！
そこから1時間ぐらいでノースショアに行き船に乗り換えて説明を聞きます。
日本語ガイドなしだったのでなんとなくしか聞き取れませんでした。
ゴーグルを貸してもらい、檻の中に入りサメの中へ。
サメは割とおっとりしてましておりの周りをグルグル泳いでました(*´-`)餌付けされてるみたいでおとなしかったです。
されどサメ！！結構迫力ありました！！
ゴーグルのサイズが合わなく、鼻に海水が入って鼻血が出るアクシデントがありましたがまぁまぁ楽しめたと思います！！
船酔いしやすい方は覚悟をしてった方がいいと思います。
ハワイでしか体験できないと思うのでツアーに参加してみて下さいね。

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

Encountered a turtle! カメに遭遇！

Reviewed by: ワンワン犬

This time, I planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother (79 years old) to show my appreciation for her. Since my mother loves the ocean, we participated in the "Underwater Scooter BOB Sea Bob Ocean Floor Walk & Snorkel Cruise."

On the day of the tour, we were picked up at a nearby hotel, but the driver only confirmed my name. He drove silently to the next pickup location, which felt a bit lonely since I had imagined a friendly Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, when we arrived at the shop, there was no explanation about the tour schedule, and they didn't say anything unless we asked, which left a rather unkind impression.

There were a total of 15 participants, with half of them being Japanese. After a somewhat broken Japanese explanation on how to use the underwater scooter, we boarded the boat and set off. There were three underwater scooters, so we took turns riding them. Since it seemed like I had some time before my turn, I decided to snorkel first. Although it was close to the boat, I had a great time seeing tropical fish swimming up close.

Finally, it was our turn to ride the underwater scooter. Operating the scooter was very easy; we just followed the instructor's hand signals (since we were underwater). I was amazed to see tropical fish gathering around the bait right in front of me.

And at the end, we encountered a Hawaiian turtle! My mother was very happy, and it was a satisfying tour.

今回は親孝行をするために母親（79歳）と私でハワイ旅行を計画。海が大好きな母親にハワイの海が見せたかったので「水中スクーターBOB・シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」に参加しました。
当日は近くのホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、運転手のお兄さんは私の名前を確認しただけ。無言で次のピックアップ先のホテルに向かって走って行ったので、ハワイアンのフレンドリーな感じを想像していた私にはちょっとさみしく感じました。またお店に到着してからも、ツアーの予定について説明はなく、こちらから聞かないと何も言ってくれなかったのは不親切な印象でした。
今回の参加者は全部で15人。半数が日本人の方でした。
水中スクーターの乗り方についてやや片言⁈の日本語説明があった後に船に乗り込み出発です。
水中スクーターは全部で3台だったので、1人ずつ順番に乗る事になってます。私の順番までは時間がありそうだったので、先にシュノーケルをやる事にしました。船の近くでのシュノーケルでしたが。熱帯の魚達が泳いでいるのを間近に見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
そしていよいよ私達が水中スクーターに乗る番になりました。水中スクーターの操作方法はインストラクターの方の言われる（水中だから手信号）ままに操作するだけなのでとても簡単でした。水中では目の前の餌に群がる熱帯の魚達を間近に見る事が出来て感動しました。
そして最後にはハワイのカメに遭遇！！
母親もたいへん喜んでいて、満足出来るツアーでした。

My expectations were too high. 期待が大きすぎました。

Reviewed by: makey

I thought I would be able to see whales up close, so I imagined a dynamic experience. However, due to conservation measures, there was quite a distance, which was different from what I expected. Still, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed a morning meal, and it was fun to stick to the deck and watch the surface of the sea. We were also able to take photos with Diamond Head in the background. I thought it was great for those with children, as it wasn't dangerous at all. As someone who enjoys swimming with dolphins and diving, this is our impression. It wasn't that we couldn't see them at all, and it was nice to encounter a mother and calf whale. However, we could only see their backs and fins popping up in the distance.

クジラを間近で見れると思っていたので、ダイナミックな感じを想像していました。
でも、保護の観点からかなりの距離があって、思っていたものとは違いました。

Even though it was a short time, I really enjoyed the scooter. The guide was attentive, which made me feel at ease, and it opened up a world that I wouldn't normally consider. However, the snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and the sandbar at Hawaii Kai before and after were a bit disorganized and not enjoyable. You can purchase photos and videos from the underwater scooter experience for a fee. I recommend getting those as a memory of the trip.

短い時間とは言え、スクーターは本当に楽しめました。

The Royal Swim itself was very enjoyable and truly memorable! The dolphins were so cute, and although it was my first experience, I was very satisfied!!

However, when I presented the voucher at the initial check-in, I found that my reservation was set for a different date and time two days later. In the end, I was able to experience it at an earlier time than planned for that day, but I felt very anxious about not being able to communicate in Japanese and wondering if I would be able to do it after coming all this way. I was really satisfied overall, but I had to rate it normally due to the reservation issue.

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

The first submarine scooter! 初のサブマリンスクーター！

Reviewed by: ひとみ

I made my first reservation here and chose this as my first Hawaii activity! They provided pick-up from the hotel, and when I mentioned that my friend was at a different hotel, they also picked her up so we could meet up.

There were many people from other countries, and I felt a bit nervous in the multicultural atmosphere during the ride to the location.

After receiving the explanation, I thought my face wouldn't get wet, but when actually using the scooter, I had to dive underwater, so it's better to be prepared with makeup and contact lenses.

As we headed to the boat in order, it was quite crowded on busy days, but there were only about three or four scooters, so two groups entered the water one by one.

You can place your belongings at your seat, but I think it's best to keep it to the bare minimum. I believe I could have prepared better if I had been informed in advance.

They provide towels and cover-ups, and you can have photos and videos taken on-site, so having around $50 should be sufficient. A reservation slip is required, so it's good to have a printed copy or your phone handy.

Most people were wearing wetsuits, but I wasn't sure, so I went in a swimsuit with a T-shirt and shorts that could get wet.

Once you get on the scooter, there is an instructor for each person, so it's fine. Even if you can't speak English, you can manage with hand signals. You'll need to equalize your ears, so make sure to do that frequently at first.

When you dive into the sea, the fish are attracted to the food attached to the scooter, so you can touch the fish! An exciting world opens up. Luckily, there were sea turtles, and the staff took beautiful photos for us. I was truly moved by the blue of the ocean and felt grateful to participate in such a wonderful tour that makes you want to go again.

While waiting, you can enjoy the scenery from the boat and see Diamond Head, but I was surprised that the only snacks available were small snack foods.

You can order the underwater images taken by the staff at the end.

If you provide your email address, you'll receive an email later, and you can download the photos to view them for two weeks.

I was really glad to participate with my friend this time! Everyone was happy, but I gave it four stars instead of five due to the lack of time.

初めてこちらで予約をとり、初のHawaiiアクティビティとしてこちらを選びました！
ホテルでの送迎と、友達が別のホテルにいるのを伝えるとそこにもピックアップで迎えに行ってくれての合流。
他の国の方も多く、異文化な車中の空気に緊張しつつ、現地に到着。

説明を受け、顔が濡れないとおもってたのですが実際スクーターに頭を入れる際潜って潜らなければならないのでメイクやコンタクトは対応した方がいいです。

船へと順番に向かい、乗り込んでいくと多い日はつめつめですがスクーターが3か4個くらいしかないので２組をバラバラに1人ずつ水に入って行きます。

荷物は自分の席におけます。ただ必要最低限の荷物に抑えるといいと思います。事前に教えてくれてるともっと対応できたと思います。

タオル、羽織るもの、写真や動画を現地で撮ってもらえるので50ドルあればとりあえず大丈夫かと。
予約票が必要なので印刷したものか、携帯はあるといいですよ。

ウェットスーツ着てる方がほとんどで、わたしはわからなかったので水着にTシャツと短パンの濡れても大丈夫な感じで行きました。

いざスクーターに乗るさえ、一対一でインストラクターが付いてるので大丈夫です。
英語ができなくても手のサインでなんとかなります。
耳抜きが必要になるのでこまめに始めはやりましょう。

なんどでも行きたくなるような素敵なツアーに参加できて海の青さにあらためて感動しました。

まってる間も船で景色はみれるし、ダイヤモンドヘッドもみれて、強いて言うなら軽食が小さなスナック菓子しかないのにびっくりしました。

海の中の画像はスタッフさんが撮ったものを最後注文できます。

and by putting it on, you could listen to the narration of the underwater tour.
(There are channels in various languages, including Japanese.)
The air conditioning inside the submarine was very strong, and since we were on it for a long time, it was really cold.
I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring something to wear.

Sea Life Park シーライフパーク

Reviewed by: ぴよぷよ

It was my first visit to Sea Life Park in four years. The last time I came, it was evening, so there were few guests and it felt quiet, but this time it was bustling with many visitors. It was my second Dolphin Encounter, and once again, the dolphins were so cute that I wanted to come back multiple times. There was a family with children in the same group, but it seemed that for the kids, seeing the dolphins up close was scary, and they were crying. I wondered if it might be difficult for children who aren't used to animals. Around noon, there was a dolphin show, and I watched it before leaving. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand them at all, but the dolphin show was adorable, and I felt like cheering for them. I definitely want to go again.

4年ぶりのシーライフパークでした。以前に来た時は、夕方のためかお客さんが少なく静かなところという印象でしたが、今回はたくさんのお客さんで賑わっていました。2回目のイルカのドルフィンエンカウンターでしたが、やっぱりイルカは、かわいく何度も来たいと思いました。同じグループにお子さん連れがいましたが、子どもにとって近くで見るイルカは、恐いみたいで泣いていました。ある程度動物慣れしてる子でないと難しいのかな？と思いました。お昼頃からイルカのショーがあり、ショーも見て帰りました。英語で説明をされていて全く意味は、分かりませんでしたがイルカのショーは、かわいくて見ていて応援したくなりました。また、行きたいと思いました。

I was able to see dolphins very up close. とても近くでイルカが見えました

Reviewed by: syuka

I was picked up by bus early in the morning, and then we traveled by boat from the port to the spot. During the briefing, I learned that diving suits can be rented for $20. I decided to rent one just in case, but I think it's a good idea for those who get cold easily to borrow one.

After the briefing, we headed out for dolphin watching, and we were able to encounter dolphins perfectly. When we could get close, we were able to approach just a few meters away. It wasn't for a long time, so I wished I could have swum a bit more.

After that, we went snorkeling to see sea turtles, and there were options for SUP and canoeing. I relaxed on the boat. For lunch, we had hamburgers, drinks, and snacks that we saw at a local supermarket.

The tour went by faster than I expected, and many people experienced seasickness, so it's necessary to take measures like bringing motion sickness medication. They mentioned that opportunities to swim with wild dolphins might become rare, but I think it's not easy to see dolphins at such a close distance, so I definitely want to go on this tour again.

早朝にバスでピックアップしてもらい、その後港から船で移動してスポットへ。

念のため自分はレンタルしましたが、寒がりな人は借りておいた方がいいかなー位だと思います。

I participated with my mother, who is celebrating her 60th birthday, and it was wonderful. The staff were kind, engaging with us and even joking around.

Since my mother was with me, I was a bit anxious about the ladder to get on the submarine, but it had proper non-slip features and a stable footing, so my mother was able to go up and down safely, which was a relief.

Since this isn't an activity per se, most of the passengers were relatively older, so younger people might find it a bit lacking in excitement. However, the experience of riding a submarine and looking out at the ocean floor is something you don't get to do often, so it was really great! We took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

還暦の母と2人で参加だったのですが、とても良かったです。スタッフの方達も親切で、話しかけてくださったり、いたずらがあったり笑
母が一緒だったので、潜水艦に乗る際のはしご？みたいなものが少し不安だったのですが、ちゃんと滑り止めもついていたし、足場も安定していたので、母もちゃんと上り下りでき、安心しました。

アクティビティではないので、同乗者も比較的高齢な方が多く、若い方には少し物足りなさがあるかな？と思いましたが、潜水艦にのって海底を見渡すなんて経験なかなかできないので、とても良かったです！たくさん写真も撮って、とてもいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！！

I'll never forget the blunder on our honeymoon...
It was a tour I had been looking forward to since before we left. After the wedding, we were busy moving into our new home, and due to my lack of confirmation, I ended up entering our preferred dates for the tour up to the third choice on the iPhone site. After a while, I received a confirmation email, and I mistakenly thought the first choice date was confirmed, not checking the date. On the day of the tour (the wrong date), we waited and waited for the bus, but it never arrived. Worried, I tried to call, but since it was in English, I couldn't communicate at all. In a daze, I sought help from the HIS Japanese desk, and they kindly made the call for me. The result was that the actual date was yesterday. They had called our hotel for a room call in the morning, but we didn't answer (both of us were in a deep sleep due to jet lag), so it was treated as a cancellation. There was no possibility of a refund or date change. In the end, it was quite a disappointment. Even though it was my mistake, I wish they could have at least allowed a date change! Later, I saw a charge of about 60,000 yen for both of us appear on my credit card.
One day, I will get my revenge!

忘れもしないハネムーンでの失態。。。

There were two snorkeling sessions: the first at a dolphin spot and the second at a sea turtle and tropical fish spot. After that, we had free time where we could continue snorkeling, relax on the boat, or play on the slide and water trampoline. We had so much fun!

The staff were all cheerful, and we enjoyed dancing together on the boat. The BBQ hamburgers were also very delicious.

I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Even as a beginner, I was able to take great photos! I can't mention other rental sites, but you can rent one in Japan for about 5,000 yen for a week, so definitely consider it!

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

Is this the limit of the submarine tour...? これが潜水艦ツアーの限界か・・・

Reviewed by: てりやきてりー

It's quite difficult to evaluate, but as a former scuba diver, I can't help but feel that the underwater visibility and the abundance of fish here just don't meet my expectations. In fact, the waters of Guam or Saipan might be better in comparison (though I'm not sure if they have submarines there).

Ultimately, the beach from which the Atlantis submarine departs is very shallow, with endless stretches of white sand. While there are artificial reefs submerged to provide habitats for small fish, sadly, it doesn't seem like many fish have taken up residence there. Additionally, the sand on the seabed stirs up, reducing the clarity of the water.

This is something that can be said for any diving location, but typically, you need to take a boat for about 30 minutes to an hour from the port to reach a diving spot with good conditions. Therefore, having high expectations for a dive just 15 minutes from the pier, at a depth of about 15 meters, seems unrealistic.

That said, if the tour were to take you 30 minutes or an hour from the pier, with depths of 20 to 30 meters, the tour costs would likely double and wouldn't be financially viable. On the other hand, participants might hesitate to spend that much time and money.

So, it's best not to expect much in terms of water clarity or fish abundance here. Instead, if you can accept it as simply an event (attraction) where you can "ride a submarine and explore the waters of Hawaii," it might be enjoyable for small children.

Inside the submarine, each person can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, which provides a wealth of information and is quite enlightening. While it may differ slightly from the typical ways to enjoy Hawaii, it could be enjoyable for those who are tired of shopping or pool activities.

なかなか評価するのが難しいところですが、自分のように元スキューバーダイバーの人間からするとどうしてもこの程度の海中の透明度や魚影の濃さ（＝魚の量）では満足はちょっとできません。これだともしかするとグアムやサイパンの海の方がまだマシなのかもしれません。（グアムやサイパンに潜水艦があるのかどうかは知りませんが）
結局、このアトランティス号が出航している浜辺はずっと遠浅でしかも白い砂地が延々と続いています。ですから一応海の中には小魚の生息場所として人工の漁礁が沈められているのですが、悲しいかなそれほどまでには魚が棲み付いている感じがしません。更に海底の砂が舞って海中の透明度がさほど良くないのです。
ただこれはどこの海を潜ったとしても言えるのですが、大抵は港から片道30分～１時間ぐらいは船に乗って行かないとなかなか好条件の揃ったダイビングスポットにはお目に掛かれないのが普通なので、このように桟橋から出航して僅か15分程度の、しかも水深も15ｍ程度の海に過大な期待をするのは鼻から無理なようにも思えます。
かと言って、これで桟橋から片道30分や１時間、そして水深も20～30ｍまで潜るようだとツアー費用も今の倍でも採算が合わないでしょうし、一方のツアーに参加する側からしても、「そこまでお金や時間をかけてまでは・・・」と尻込みをしてしまうに違いありません。
ですからここはあまり海の透明度や魚影の濃さには期待をせずに、ただ「潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海を潜れちゃうんだよ！」という･･･ただそれだけのイベント（アトラクション）と割り切ってしまえば小さなお子様とかにはそれなりに楽しんで貰えるのかもしれません。
あと潜水艦の中では1人にひとつずつヘッドホンから日本語の音声ガイドが聴けるのですが、これがなかなか情報量が多く聴くと結構為になります。まぁ一般的なハワイの楽しみ方とは若干、系統が違いますのでショッピングやプール遊びに飽きた人とかにはそれなりに楽しめるのではないでしょうか。

The male staff member who was in charge from the pickup until our return was overly intimidating and didn’t smile at all. I was disappointed, as I had imagined the energetic female staff member I had seen on TV. I understand that the sea can be dangerous, which is why the explanation was delivered in a strong tone, but my daughter felt intimidated and ended up staying on the boat. When dolphins were spotted, everyone jumped into the water one by one, but it felt forced with shouts of "Go, go!" I think it would be quite scary for small children. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a strong sense of a production line. All the foreign staff were friendly, and they took care of my daughter who stayed on the boat, making jokes and taking photos with her. We did see dolphins, but it didn’t feel like we were swimming with them. I think it depends on the timing. I finally started to feel enjoyment when we moved on to the activities, but it seems we spent too much time with the dolphins, and the activity time ended up being shorter. On the way back, there was no place to change, and the restroom was crowded, so I changed outside with a towel wrapped around me. The bus on the way back was the last stop for our family, but the male guide got off before that. We ended up seeing him off, which is unacceptable. I probably won’t participate again, but if there is a next time, I would prefer a different guide.

ピックアップから帰りまで担当した男性スタッフが威圧感があり過ぎてニコリともしませんでした。
テレビで見ていた元気いっぱいの女性スタッフを想像していただけに残念でした。
海は危険がたくさんなので、説明の口調が強くなるのは分かりますが、娘は萎縮してしまい結局船上に残りました。
イルカが見えると順番に海に飛び込むのですが、行け行け！と強引に飛び込ませます。
小さな子供にはかなり怖いと思います。
レビューにあったように流れ作業感がすごいです。
外国人スタッフはみんな愛想が良く、船上に残った娘を気遣ってくれジョークで笑わせたり写真を撮ったりしてくれていたそうです。
イルカは見れました。が、一緒に泳ぐという感覚ではありませんでした。
タイミング次第だと思います。
移動しアクティビティをしている時にやっと楽しいと感じ始めましたが、イルカに時間を使いすぎたらしく、アクティビティの時間は短めに終了してしまいました。
帰りは着替えるところも無く、トイレも混んでいたのでタオルを巻いて外で着替えました。
帰りのバスは我が家は最後の停留所だったのですが、ガイドの男性スタッフはその前に下車してしまいました。客の私たちが見送る形になり、あり得ないですね。。
おそらくもう参加することは無いですが、もし次があるとしたら別のガイドさんがいいですね。

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Great activity...but

Reviewed by: Rene'

While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.

I couldn't see it... 見れませんでした・・・

Reviewed by: まここ

My younger brother, who loves whales, strongly wanted to participate, so our family of five joined in.

We were told that we would likely see them, but unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we weren't able to see any whales, which is quite rare. Even so, the guide did their best to announce flying fish and other marine life.

Additionally, they provided free tickets for another day in case we didn't see anything, so my brother tried again the next day, but unfortunately, he didn't see any whales again.

I think we just had bad luck... but I definitely want to try again!

クジラ好きな弟の強い希望で、家族5人で参加しました。

ほぼ見れるとのことでしたが、あいにくの悪天候の為珍しく見れなかったようです。
それでも、ガイドさんは必死でトビウオ等のアナウンスをしてくださいました。
また、見れなかった場合には別日に無料で乗れる券を配布していたので
翌日弟が再挑戦したのですが、残念ながらまた見れなかったそうです。

運が悪かっただけだと思いますが・・・
またリベンジしたいです！！

The wild dolphin cruise was amazing! 野生のイルカクルーズ最高１！

Reviewed by: 辻公恵

We participated as a family of five, and I had been wanting to join for a while. This time, I went with my daughter and grandchildren. I prayed to meet dolphins as we set out, and I was satisfied with the crew's cheerful demeanor and thoughtful arrangements for everyone. We encountered many dolphins, even twice!

Later, during snorkeling, we were lucky to meet a turtle. It would have been perfect if the water clarity had been better, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. There were various activities like kayaking that kept us entertained. The hamburgers for lunch were surprisingly delicious; I thought one per person was not enough, and I wished for another because they were that good. The family photo taken when we disembarked became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend this for families and couples.

家族５人で参加しました、以前から一度参加したいなと思っていたところ今回は娘、孫たちと一緒に参加しました。イルカに会えるかなと祈りながら出向でした、クルーの人たちの底抜けに明るい、参加皆に心憎い計らいに満足し、たくさんのイルカに出会いました、２回も、、
その後シュノーケリングの最中亀に出会いラッキーでした、海の透明度がもっと良かったら最高でしたが残念ながら透明度はもう一つ残念、カヤック体験などいろいろメニューがあり私たちを退屈させませんでした、お昼のハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく良かったと思います、１人１個なのでもう１個あればいいなーと思いました、それほど美味しかったです。下船の時家族写真は良い記念になりました。。家族ずれカップルにお勧めです。

I dove close to a group of dolphins that were napping!!

Did I go to see the dolphins? Or did I go to be seen by the dolphins?

I was surrounded by dolphins like a small fish?!

Dolphins were everywhere, to the side and below.
I was also able to see rays, turtles, and a large number of tropical fish up close, which made me very satisfied♪

I will go again!!

Fun snorkeling tour 楽しいシュノーケル・ツアー

Reviewed by: egao

The pickup was early at 6:05 AM, which is quite a start. Starting next year, due to changes in American law, it may become illegal to approach dolphins within 100 yards, so there’s a possibility that the tour itself may be discontinued. I thought this might be my last chance to swim with wild dolphins in Waikiki this year, so I signed up. There were no changing rooms or showers, which was inconvenient, but the fun far outweighed that. We discovered a pod of dolphins and immediately jumped in at the guide's instruction. If you hesitate, you might miss them; dolphins are very fast. It doesn’t feel like swimming with dolphins; it feels like dolphins are zooming past you at high speed around and below you. After watching the dolphins, we enjoyed super fun snorkeling surrounded by colorful fish, and we were able to see sea turtles up close (but touching them is not allowed). You can also enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The crew and staff were very friendly, and we had a great time playing in the ocean. We were able to return by early afternoon, so we had plenty of time for sightseeing afterward.

ピックアップは早朝6時5分と早いスタートです。来年からアメリカの法律が変わりイルカに100ヤード以内近づけなくなるためツアー自体が無くなる可能性もあります。ひょっとして今年がワイキキで野生イルカと泳げる最後のチャンスかもと思い申し込みました。着替える所もシャワーもありません、不自由と言えば不自由でしたがそれを上回る楽しさでした。イルカの群れを発見しガイドの指示で直ぐ飛び込みます。ぼやぼやしてると見損ないます、イルカはとても速いです。イルカと一緒に泳ぐという感覚ではありません、自分の周りや下を猛スピードでイルカが通り過ぎる感じです。イルカ見学の後は色とりどりの魚に囲まれての超楽しいシュノーケリング、ウミガメもタッチできる距離で見れました(タッチはNGです）。カヤックやスタンダップパドルも楽しめます。クルー、スタッフたちはとてもフレンドリーで陽気な海遊びが十分楽しめました。昼過ぎには帰れるので午後も十分観光できました。

This was my first time participating. I was sleepy from the early morning pickup, but I took a short nap in the car while receiving instructions and explanations about the tour. We arrived at the port around 8:00. After a restroom break and applying sunscreen, we boarded the boat. There was an introduction of the captain, staff, and photographer, followed by a departure ceremony. Each of us held a plumeria flower and sang the song "Eho Mai" as we set off to search for dolphins. After about 30 to 40 minutes, we spotted a pod of dolphins, and with the captain's "Go!" signal, everyone jumped in!

However, the pod quickly disappeared, and we had to wait. After that, the dolphins were hard to find, and we extended our search by 90 minutes. Once my wet body started to feel cold in the wind, the captain gave the "Go!" signal again!

It was an indescribably mystical sight. Right in front of us was a pod of dolphins, and there were about 30 to 40 of them nearby, both below and in the distance. We were able to see the dolphins at a very close range.

This time, it took a while to find the dolphins, so we couldn't do any other activities, but I still made wonderful memories. I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much!

今回初めての参加でした。早朝のピックアップで眠かったのですが、車の中でしばしの仮眠＆ツアーの注意点や説明などを受けました。港に着いたのが８：００頃でした。トイレ休憩＆日焼け止めを塗ったりと準備をして、いざ乗船。船長さん、スタッフの方々、カメラマンさんの紹介などがあり、出航の儀式へ。各々プルメリアの花を持ち、エホマイの歌を歌いイルカ探しへ。３、４０分経った頃、イルカの群れを見つけ、船長さんの「Go！」を合図に皆で入水！！
しかし、イルカの群れはすぐに居なくなってしまい、一旦待機へ。その後、なかなかイルカが現れずに、通常より90分延長してのイルカ探し。一度濡れた体が風に触れ、ガクガクブルブル冷え込んできた頃、再び船長さんのGo！！サイン！！
もう、言葉にならない程の神秘的な景色。目の前にはイルカの群れ、下も前も遠くにも、３、４０頭は居たのかな？かなりの至近距離でイルカを見ることが出来ました。
今回はイルカ探しに時間がかかり、他のアクティビティーが出来ませんでしたが、それでも素敵な思い出が出来ました。本当に参加して良かったです。ありがとうございました☆
