I participated with my mother. Unfortunately, I ended up just observing, but the beautiful blue sea, great weather, and the sea breeze while riding the boat made it truly the best time. The photos taken by the dedicated photographer are also treasures from this trip.

Next time, I will see dolphins in the water too!

母と参加しました。
残念ながらわたしは見学することになってしまったのですが、青い海といいお天気、潮風に吹かれて船に乗っているだけでも本当に最高の時間でした。
専属カメラマンの方にとっていただいた写真も今回の旅行の宝物です。

I was able to see dolphins!!! イルカ見れました！！！

Reviewed by: なおみ

I was able to see dolphins!!!
Since I had heard that wild dolphins might not be seen sometimes, I was a bit worried about today, but I was truly moved to be able to see them o(^▽^)o♡
I was able to see them so clearly that I felt like I was looking at an aquarium tank.
I got to watch them swim for a while, and I was so happy to see a small baby dolphin too!
They swam quite close to us.
The dolphins were really cute o(^▽^)o
Not only dolphins, but I also saw about five or six sea turtles!
It was my first time seeing so many sea turtles up close, and I was really impressed!
When they came up for air, I was able to see them so closely, it was amazing!! I regretted not bringing an underwater camera... (laughs)
On the boat heading to the dolphin swimming point, the crew members kept the atmosphere lively, and we had a great time♡
The hula dance was wonderful too♡♡
I've participated in various tours before, but I think this was the most fun tour I've ever had!
The Japanese was so good, just like a native speaker, so I had no trouble during the tour (^｡^)
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

イルカ見れました〜！！！
本当に野生のイルカだから
見れない時もあると聞いていたので、今日はどうかなーと少し心配でしたが見ることができて本当に感動しましたo(^▽^)o♡
水族館の水槽を見てるのかと思ったぐらいにしっかり見れました〜
しばらく泳ぐ姿を見ることができたし、
小さい赤ちゃんイルカも見れて嬉しかったです！
私たちの割と近くを泳いでくれました。
イルカ本当に可愛かったo(^▽^)o
イルカだけじゃなくて海ガメも５〜６匹見れました！
あんなに近くで、あれだけの海ガメを見たのは初めてで大感動でした！
息継ぎをしに上がってきた時は本当に近くで見れて感動！！水中カメラ持って行けば良かったと後悔しました・・・（笑）
イルカが泳いでいるポイントまで向かうときの船でもクルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しく過ごせました♡
フラダンスも素敵でした♡♡
今までいろんなツアーに参加してきたけど
１番楽しかったと思うツアーになりました！
日本語も日本人みたいに上手だったのでツアー中も何不自由なかったです(^｡^)
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいです！ありがとうございました〜！

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Who said that only swimmers can go under the sea??

Reviewed by: Dilu Braga

First I was really afraid because I can barely float, I don't swimming if is not at the pool and going short distance. But I decided to have a new experience as a solo traveler in Hawaii as my first visit. The crew were just amazing, the lady at office received me with a big smile and was very friendly. The rest of the crew really made me feels good and my fears went away. When we got to the spot in the sea the first animal I saw was a turtle, and was an amazing feeling. While the crew organizing every scooter the only thing in my mind was "oh please I don't want to be the first one", after the captain told me I will be the next, I ended up being the third person going under. Words can not explain, you really need to go and have this experience where you can actually be close and touch animals under the sea.
I was lucky enough to see turtles, different kind of fish and even an octopus that got stuck on my big helmet for my pictures and video.
By the end of the day I got my photos and video, I've played my video and couldn't believe that the woman was me, they really did a good job, from the beginning to the end
I really recommend BOB's Adventure underwater scooter, specially if you don't swim at all, like me.


PS: I took the bus to get there from downtown, the commute was really easy and you will get so see more.

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing experience swimming with sharks!

Reviewed by: Amy Walter

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

水中スクーター＆マウナルア湾パラダイスサンドバーシュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPなどのアクティビティも満喫！＜英語クルー＞

It's okay if you can't swim! It was fun! 泳げなくても大丈夫！楽しかったー！

Reviewed by: きゃな

First, we watched an explanation video about underwater scooters in an office-like area on the second floor, used the restroom, and those who weren't wearing swimsuits changed. At this point, two different colored paper tapes were wrapped around our wrists.

Everyone boarded the boat, but some groups were given marine shoes (probably based on the color of the paper tape) and were told to leave their belongings on the boat and get off because they would go to the sandbar on a different boat first. The boat to the sandbar went quite fast, which was a bit scary but fun! However, even though it was called a sandbar, the seawater was up to our chests, and when the waves got a bit high, we were splashed over our heads. A female staff member who spoke Japanese taught us how to use the stand-up paddle. You can ride with two people. She said that if you have a smartphone in a waterproof case, she would take pictures for you, and she took a lot of photos. We took turns enjoying it in groups of four, but while others were taking their turns, there wasn't much to do, so I thought it would be nice to have a float. The female staff members were always on floats, though (laughs).

After a while, the first boat we boarded returned, and we joined everyone else to move a bit offshore to use the underwater scooters. The moment we entered the helmet part of the scooter, we submerged in the sea. I didn't operate the scooter at all. When I placed my hands on the handlebars, the diver gestured for me to remove them a few times, and he operated the handlebars himself.

There was a sea turtle, and he pulled the scooter close to it! The scooter had food attached, and when I waved the net with the food, fish came to eat, and I was able to take many pictures from inside the helmet. The water was truly a beautiful blue, and I was moved by it.

While the next person was using the underwater scooter, we borrowed snorkeling gear and enjoyed it, but when we returned to the boat after the scooter, many people said they were cold, and some chose not to snorkel. Snacks and water were available for unlimited consumption, and everyone ate quite a bit. We could decide whether to purchase the photos taken by the diver after seeing them. I didn't purchase either the photos or the videos.

We had time to change and use the restroom until we got on the return vehicle. There were no towels laid on the seats, and since my swimsuit was still a bit wet, I placed a towel I used to dry off on the seat before sitting down.

最初に2階の事務所のようなところで水中スクーターの説明ビデオを見たりトイレに行ったり水着を着てない人は着替えたりしました。ここで色の違う紙テープのようなもの2本が手首に巻かれます。
1度みんな船に乗りましたが、何組かはマリンシューズを渡されて(多分紙テープの色によって)先に別のボートでサンドバーに行くから荷物を置いて船からおりて、と言われました。サンドバーへ行くボートは結構スピードを出して少し怖かったですが楽しかったです！しかしサンドバーといっても海水は胸まであり、少し高い波がくると頭からかぶります。女性の日本語が話せるスタッフがスタンドアップパドルのやり方を教えてくれます。2人で乗ることもできます。防水ケースに入れたスマホを持っていると写真撮ってあげるよ！と言ってくれてたくさん撮ってくれました。4組で交代交代に楽しみましたが他の方がやっている間は特にすることがなく海の中で立っているだけなので浮輪があればいいなと思いました。女性スタッフだけは常に浮輪にのってましたが(笑)
しばらくすると最初に乗った船が来てしてみなさんと合流して少し沖へ移動し水中スクーターをします。スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は海に潜ります。 スクーターの操作は全くしていません。ハンドルに手を置いていると手をどけろみたいなジェスチャーを何回かされダイバーがハンドルを操作してなにかしてました。
ウミガメがいたのですぐ近くまでスクーターを引っ張って行ってくれました！スクーターには餌が付いていてその餌の網を振ると魚が食べに来てヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました。海の中は本当にきれいな青色で感動しました。
シュノーケリングは次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に勝手に道具を借り楽しむ感じでしたが水中スクーターを終えて船に戻ると寒いと言っている人が多くシュノーケリングはやらない人もいました。スナック菓子とお水は食べ飲み放題でみなさん結構食べてました。ダイバーが撮ってくれた写真は見てから購入するか決めれます。動画は見てませんが私はどちらも購入しませんでした。
帰りの車に乗るまで着替えたりトイレに行く時間がありました。座席にタオルなどは敷かれておらず、まだ少し水着が濡れていたので体をふいたタオルを敷いて座りました。

It's called a tour to swim with dolphins, but... イルカと泳ぐツアーと言うが・・・

Reviewed by: tsjceo

The car in the photo picks you up, but then you switch to a big bus at a different hotel. The scenery on the way is quite beautiful, and I joined the tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. You can really swim with them, just a little bit... There are about five people at a time, so it's a bit of a conveyor-belt experience interacting with the dolphins, which takes time because there are many pickups. It might be better to go by rental car. I felt that the dolphin shows in Japan are more impressive. You can also eat inside the park, but don't expect too much; it's just average. There aren't many attractions in the park, and taking photos with the parrots is also charged.

　写真の車がお迎えし、っと思いきや、違うホテルででかいバスに乗り換えて行きます。行きの景色はなかなかきれいな景色、イルカとも泳ぎたくてツアーに参加しました。ホントに泳げます　　少しですが・・・　人数が５人ずつくらいで、流れ作業的なイルカとの触れ合い　笑い　ピックアップも沢山いるので時間かかります。レンタカーで行くのがお勧めかも～　日本のイルカShowの方が凄いと感じました。笑　園内での食事もできますが期待しないでください。普通です。園内のアトラクションはけしてたくさんはありません、オウムと写真撮るのも有料ですので・・・

I can't forget the sound of Teacher Dolphin's voice!! イルカ先生の鳴き声が忘れられません！！

Reviewed by: はわいはじめて

My first trip to Hawaii!!

About two days before my departure, I saw this tour featured on a stylish program about Hawaii, so I made a reservation. I participated with my boyfriend.

**About the Pickup**
Since our hotel was included as a pickup point for the tour, it was convenient to board the bus right from the front entrance of the hotel. Before the bus arrived, a cheerful female staff member who spoke Japanese came to inform us that the bus was slightly delayed due to traffic, which made me feel at ease.

**On the Bus**
During the ride, the lively staff member shared interesting information about the geography and climate of Oahu, snorkeling precautions, and stories about dolphins and sea turtles, which kept us entertained!

**Arrival at the Port**
Once we arrived at the port, we were given ample time to use the restroom.

**Boarding & the Main Event: Dolphins and Sea Turtles**
We headed to a beautiful sea that felt like nature, quite different from the urban Waikiki Beach! We went quite far out. The boat was designed to minimize rocking, so no one experienced seasickness. The cobalt blue color of the sea is unforgettable. After a while, we spotted dolphins jumping around. I was surprised at how easily we could see them! Then, we put on our gear and dove into the water!! We quickly saw a pod of dolphins. I even heard the dolphins making sounds like "quee-quee"!

We returned to the boat, changed locations, and dove again. I was glad to meet the dolphins both times! One piece of advice: when instructed to enter the water, even if you feel a bit scared, it's better to get in as quickly as possible to increase your chances of seeing the dolphins. Some people who hesitated on the boat missed seeing the dolphins when they finally got in. I jumped in quickly and had a great encounter with the dolphins!

Back on the boat, we headed to the spot where the sea turtles were! Snorkeling was so much fun. I saw colorful fish and coral. Then, we were told there was a sea turtle nearby! As I swam over, there was the sea turtle! Watching it felt like time stood still; it was a magical experience.

The reason this tour refers to dolphins as "teachers" and sea turtles as "professors" will become clear once you participate. It truly felt mystical, and I was filled with a sense of awe, as if my heart was being seen through.

**Marine Sports**
I tried stand-up paddleboarding. It was a short time due to the rotation, but I enjoyed it!

**Food**
On the boat, we were provided with pineapple, juice, snacks, and cheeseburgers. The cheeseburger was slightly warm and delicious! It felt very accommodating.

**Atmosphere on the Boat**
We were given lyric sheets and sang traditional Hawaiian songs and danced. All the staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun!

**Return**
When disembarking, tipping was not required. We were also taken back to our hotel by bus, just like on the way there, which was convenient.

**Overall**
For this experience and this price, it was a bargain!! The consideration for the tour guests was also great!

Mahalo~

人生初のハワイ旅行！！
出国日の２日ほど前に、おしゃれイズムのハワイ特集で、こちらのツアーが取り上げられていたこともあり、予約しました。彼氏と２人で参加しました。

〈ピックアップに関して〉
滞在先ホテルが、ツアーのピックアップ地点に含まれていたので、ホテルの正面玄関からバスに乗れて便利でした。バスが来る前に、日本語の話せる元気ハツラツな女性スタッフが、徒歩で来てくれて、バスが渋滞で少し遅れていることなどを伝えてくださり、安心しました。

〈バス内〉
車中では、先ほどの元気なお姉さんが、オアフ島の地理・気候の話や、シュノーケリングにおける注意事項、イルカやウミガメの話など、タメになるお話をしてくれたおかげで退屈しませんでした！

〈港に到着〉
港に着いたら、トイレに行くための充分な時間が与えられました。

〈乗船＆本題のイルカ・ウミガメ〉
都会のワイキキビーチとはまた違った雰囲気の、ローカルな、大自然を感じるきれいな海へ！
かなり沖のほうまで行きました。船はあまり揺れない構造になっているそうで、船酔いしている方はいませんでした。
コバルトブルーというんでしょうか…あの美しい海の色は忘れられません。
沖に出てしばらくすると、イルカ先生たちがピョンピョンしていらっしゃるのが見られました。
イルカって、こんなに簡単に見られるものなのかと、驚きました！
そして、道具をつけて、海へダイブ！！
すぐに群れを見ることができました。
私は、「キュイーン、キュイーン」というイルカ先生の声も聴くことができました！

一度船に戻り、場所を変えてもう一度潜りました。
２回ともしっかりイルカ先生に会えてよかったです！
★ここで一つ、注意なのですが、海へ入る指示がでたら、多少の恐怖感があっても、ためらわずになるべく早く海へ入ったほうが、イルカ先生に会うチャンスが増えると思います。
船上で怖がってモタモタしてしまった人の中には、海に入ったときにはイルカ先生が逃げてしまっていて見られなかった、という人たちがいたようです。
私はサッと入ったので、イルカ先生にばっちり会えました！

再び船に戻り、次はウミガメ大教授のいらっしゃるスポットへ！
とにかく、シュノーケリングが、楽しい。きれいな色のお魚や、サンゴを見ました。
すると、ウミガメがいるとの指示が！
そちらのほうに泳いでいくと、ウミガメ大教授がいらっしゃいました！
見ている間は、時が止まっているような、不思議な感覚がしました。

こちらのツアーで、イルカを「先生」、ウミガメを「大教授」と呼んでいる理由は、参加すればわかると思います。本当に、神秘的で、心を見透かされているような、畏敬の念がわきました。

〈マリンスポーツ〉
私はスタンダップ・パドルに挑戦しました。交代制なので、短時間ですが、楽しめました！

〈食べ物〉
船上では、パイナップルやジュース、スナック、チーズバーガーなどが支給されました。
チーズバーガーは、ほんのりあったかく、おいしかったです！
至れり尽くせり、という感じでした。

〈船上の雰囲気〉
歌詞カードが配られ、ハワイの伝統的な歌や踊りをしました。どのスタッフも陽気で、とても楽しかったです！

〈帰り〉
船を降りる際、チップは不要でした。
帰りも、行きと同じように滞在先ホテルまでバスで送ってもらったので、楽でした。

〈総合的に〉
この内容で、この値段は、安い！！
ツアー客への気遣いもよかったです！

マハロ〜

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

AMAZING

Reviewed by: Heather

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny! Cannot wait to snorkel again!

We used this service with our family during the New Year. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales during our trip, so it ended up being just a regular cruise. It's something that can't be helped, but it might be tough for those who can't accept that. The kids were quite disappointed. I wish we had explained beforehand that "there might be times when we won't see any whales."

正月に家族で利用しました。私たちが参加した時は鯨に遭遇出来ませんでした。よってただのクルージングに。こればかりは仕方ないですね。って気持ちで参加できる方でないと厳しいかも。子供たちは結構ガッカリしてました。事前に「クジラには逢えない場合もあるからね」と説明しておけばよかったと、思いました。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I was moved! 感動しました！

Reviewed by: さつき

I joined because I heard I could meet wild dolphins! On the day of the event, while waiting at the designated spot, a bus with a dolphin illustration arrived, and I thought, "This is it!" As I was taking a photo, it turned out to be the Dolphin University bus, and a lady called out to us, "Dolphin Middle School is over here! We're middle schoolers!" (laughs)

That lady talked enthusiastically about Hawaii, dolphins, and important notes for meeting dolphins while we were on the bus! Listening to her talk about dolphins made me feel her love for them, and I was really glad she was our guide (*^^*).

When we arrived at the port, we checked the size of our fins and changed into wetsuits. It costs $10, so I didn't want to force anyone, but they said the seawater is colder than you think, and it would be sad if we couldn't enjoy it because of the cold... So I borrowed one, and I was glad I did! Before getting wet, it was almost too warm, but once we were in the water and during the boat ride, the strong wind would have made it really cold without the wetsuit.

Finally, we set off! I was worried about not seeing any dolphins since they are wild, but we spotted them sooner than expected! It took about 20 minutes, I think. Diving into the sea while recalling what I learned on the bus, I initially felt anxious about snorkeling, but once I put my face in the water, my worries disappeared!

A pod of dolphins was swimming right below me, and they were everywhere, so I was desperately trying to follow them! Even when I thought they had swum away, they would come back from behind, and I was so moved to see so many of them...!

We moved to another spot where there were turtles and tropical fish. I was surprised to see a super huge turtle swimming right nearby!! Behind it were a medium-sized turtle and a tiny turtle! I learned that dolphins are the teachers and turtles are the professors, so my friend and I got excited, saying, "Look, a big professor!" (laughs)

A small turtle came up close enough to touch, and we could see it really up close! It was actually hard not to touch it (laughs). After seeing the turtles, I thought we were done, but when we returned to the boat, the captain called out, "One more time, dolphins!" and took us back to where the dolphins were!

I could feel the captain's desire to let us enjoy as much as possible, and I was really glad I signed up for this tour! (*^^*) The last dolphins were truly abundant, jumping around the boat even before we got in the water! Once we were in, I saw dolphins swimming right below me, and then there were more in front of me, circling around for a long time. It was truly moving! My friend even got to see a dolphin come up right next to her for a breath!

I remembered the lady on the bus saying, "Dolphins communicate with ultrasound, so they can understand our feelings, and miraculous things can really happen! So talk to them a lot and enjoy!" (*^^*)

When we returned to the boat, we were given warm tea and light snacks, including cheese, granola, and spam rice balls! The spam rice balls were so delicious after all that swimming! We also had sweet pineapple for dessert, which was really tasty!

I had such a fulfilling time (*^^*). When we returned to the bus, there was an announcement about purchasing photos. If you buy the data, a URL is sent via email, and you can download it within a month. If you want a USB, you have to go to the office to pick it up, so I think the data option is more convenient! There were many photos that I couldn't have taken myself, so I was glad I purchased them too!

The only disappointing thing was that the lady who talked to us on the way there was replaced by someone else when we departed. Of course, the other person was very nice too, but I regretted not being able to thank her in person and not being able to take a photo together. I think her name was Julie. She was very energetic and full of love for dolphins, sharing lots of trivia about them

野生のイルカに会えると知り参加しました！
当日、指定の場所で待っているとイルカのイラストが書いてあるバスが来たので、あっこれだ！と思い写真を撮っているとイルカ大学のバスだったようで、「イルカ中学はこっちこっち！うちらは中坊だから！」とお姉さんに呼ばれました(笑)
そのお姉さんはバスの中でもハワイのことからイルカのこと、イルカ会うための注意事項などなど、元気いっぱいにたっくさん話してくれました！イルカについて話を聞いているとお姉さんのイルカ愛が伝わってきて、このお姉さんが担当で良かったなと思いました(*^^*)
港についてフィンのサイズを確認し、ウェットスーツに着替えました。＄10かかるので強制はしたくないんですが、海水は思ってる以上に冷たいから、着た方がいいよ、寒さのせいで楽しめなかったら悲しいから…と言われ、確かにそうだなと思い借りました。結果借りてよかったです！濡れる前は逆に暑いくらいでしたが、濡れてからは海の中ではもちろん、ボートで移動中すごい風を浴びるので着てなければ寒かったと思います。
いよいよ出発！野生のイルカなので会えなかったらどうしよう……と不安もありましたが、予想以上に早くイルカを発見！20分かかったかな？
バスの中で教えてもらったことを思い出しながら海にダイブ！最初はシュノーケルうまくできるかな？と不安でしたが、海に顔をつけたら不安なくなりました！
真下をイルカの群れが泳いでて、あちこちにいるので追うのに必死でした！でも行っちゃった～と思ってもまた後ろから泳いできてくれたり、たくさん見れて感動……！
場所移動して今度はカメや熱帯魚がいるスポットへ。
超～～でっかいカメがすぐそこを泳いでてびっくり！！その後ろに中くらいのカメとちっちゃいカメもいました！
イルカが先生でカメは教授って教わってたので、友人と大教授だー！と盛り上がりました(笑)
小さい子が触れそうなくらい海面まで上がってきてホントに間近で見れました！むしろ触らないようにするのが大変なくらい(笑)
カメも見たしもう終わりかな～と思いながらボートに戻ると、船長さんが「もう一回、イルカ！」と声をかけてくれてまたイルカのいるところへ連れていってくれました！
時間が許す限り楽しませようという気持ちが伝わってきて、このツアーに申し込んでホントに良かったなと思いました！(*^^*)
最後のイルカはもうホントにたくさんいて、海に入る前からボートの周りをたくさんジャンプして姿を見せてくれました！海に入っても、真下泳いでたと思ったら前にもいるし、真下でぐるぐる回って長い間イルカたちがそばにいてくれて、本当に感動しました！友人はすぐ真横にイルカが上がってきて息継ぎ？するところも見れたそうです！
バスでお姉さんが「イルカは超音波で会話するから、私たちの気持ちも分かってくれるし奇跡みたいなことも本当に起こるから！たくさん話しかけて楽しんで♪」って言ってたのを思い出しました(*^^*)
ボートに戻ると暖かいお茶と軽食をいただきました。チーズとグラノーラとスパムおにぎりも！たくさん泳いだ後のスパムおにぎりとっても美味しかった！デザートにパイナップルもいただきましたが、これが甘くてこれまた美味しかったです！
とっても充実した時間を過ごせました(*^^*)
バスに戻って写真の購入の案内がありました。
データで購入する場合はURLがメールで送られてきて１ヶ月以内にダウンロードする感じでした。USBだと事務所？まで取りに行かないといけないのでデータが便利だと思います！自分では撮れないような写真がたくさんだったので、これも購入してよかったです♪
ひとつだけ残念だったことは、行きのバスの中で話してくれたお姉さんが、何かあったのか出発するときに違う方に代わったことです。もちろん他の方もとても良い方でしたが、最後にお礼を言えなかったことと一緒に写真が撮れなかったことが心残りでした。
お名前ジュリさんって方だったと思います。とても元気でイルカ愛に溢れてて、イルカの豆知識やどうしたらイルカが怖がらないかなどたくさん教えてくれました。フィンはゆっくり大きく水面は蹴らないようになどなど、本当にためになりました！
直接お礼を言えなかったのでこちらで失礼します。
今度参加する機会があればぜひジュリさんと一緒に泳ぎたいです(*^^*)
本当にありがとうございました！！

Dolphins up close! イルカが間近に！

Reviewed by: イルカ三昧

This was my first tour, and I went with my mother. It was also my first time snorkeling, but the guide explained everything clearly on the bus, so there were no issues at all. Since it was a bit chilly after mid-September, I rented a wetsuit. It cost about $10, but I was glad I did. Luckily, we encountered dolphins as soon as we got into the water. I was amazed to see them up close like that. We also moved to different spots and were able to see dolphins swimming below us. I heard that there might be a law preventing us from getting close to dolphins in the future, which is very disappointing. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

ツアー初参加で、母と行きました。シュノーケリングも初めてでしたが、バスの中でお兄さんがきちんと説明して下さったので、なんの問題もありませんでした。9月中旬を過ぎていたためか少し肌寒かったので、ウェットスーツを借りました。10ドルほどかかりますが、借りてよかったです。イルカには運良く、海に入ってすぐに会えました。こんなに間近で見られたことに感動しました。その後もポイントを移動して、下の方を泳ぐイルカを見つけられました。もしかしたら法律で、イルカの近くに行けなくなるというお話を聞いたので、とても残念です。機会があったらまた参加したいです。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

I was moved by the world under the sea that I saw for the first time!! 初めて見る海の中の世界に感動！！

Reviewed by: yoko

This was my first time snorkeling, but after seeing the experiences and photos here, I wanted to swim with dolphins and sea turtles, so I decided to participate.

After 6 AM, I got on the shuttle bus to leave Waikiki, feeling a bit dazed due to my low blood pressure and my struggle with mornings. There were about 20 participants, ranging from energetic seniors, mainly young couples, to small children. During the ride to the West Coast, where we could see dolphins, we had a fun lesson about dolphins, learning about their ecology and safety tips in the water.

Upon arrival at the spot, those who wanted to could rent a wetsuit for $10. Almost everyone, both men and women, rented one that day. Given the temperature and water temperature in mid-September, I don't think it would feel particularly cold without one, but wearing it can provide peace of mind for those who are unsure about swimming since it helps you float in the water.

Once we boarded the motorized rubber boat, the guide assigned us seating positions to balance the weight evenly. After that, we put on our fins and masks to check the sizes, and once we were ready, off we went!!

In just about 15 minutes of running, we arrived right next to a pod of dolphins! (It seemed we were quite lucky that day, as there are days when you might not encounter them for about an hour.) Before meeting the dolphins, we all entered the water for a practice swim. Then we approached the pod again by boat and watched the surface closely. When we spotted the black dorsal fins, we finally found the dolphins we had been longing to see! I had hoped to swim at the same level as the dolphins, but with the life jacket and wetsuit making me float, I ended up looking down at the dolphins swimming below me. Still, I was thrilled to see a baby dolphin jump right in front of me; it was so cute!

Next, we moved to a point where we could see sea turtles and beautiful fish. After taking off our life jackets and diving into the water, I was surrounded by colorful fish in shades of yellow and light blue, swirling around me like a treasure chest, which felt incredibly luxurious. I could only see the sea turtles from the boat, but the underwater world I experienced for the first time was amazing.

Lastly, regarding photos, you can purchase those taken by the accompanying photographer for $50. It includes not only shots of the participants and underwater scenes but also a collection of past best shots featuring the adorable dolphins and sea turtles. Although it’s a bit pricey, you’re guaranteed to get better photos than if you took them yourself.

The cheerful staff provided detailed support, making it a tour that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, so I highly recommend it.

シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、こちらの体験談や写真を見てイルカやウミガメと一緒に
泳いでみたくて参加しました。

朝６時過ぎ、低血圧でとにかく朝が苦手なのでボーっとしながら迎えのバスに乗り込みワイキキを出発。参加者は20名程度でしたが、若いご夫婦を中心に元気いっぱいのシニアの方々から小さなお子さんまで様々でした。
イルカが見られるウエストコーストへ向かう車内ではイルカに関する授業が行われ、イルカの生態や海の中での注意事項まで楽しく学べます。

ポイントへ到着すると、希望者は10＄でウエットスーツを借りられます。この日は男女共ほぼ全員が借りていました。９月中旬のこの日の気温・水温では、なくても特別寒さは感じないと思いますが、着ると水中で体が勝手に浮くので泳ぎが不安な方は着ておくと安心でしょう。

エンジン付きのゴムボートに乗り込むと、ガイドさんによりボートの上で体重が均等になるよう座る位置を振り分けられます。その後、フィンやマスクを装着してサイズを確認し、準備が整ったらいざ出発！！

そして走ることわずか15分ほどでイルカの群れがいるすぐそばまで到着！（この日はかなりラッキーだったようで、1時間ぐらい出会えない日もあるとのこと）
まずイルカと対面する前に一度全員で海に入り、泳ぎの練習を行います。
そこから再度ボートで群れに近づき、水面をじっと見守ります。
黒い背びれが見えたらついに念願のイルカ発見！！
イルカと同じ目線で泳げることを期待していましたが、ライフジャケットとウエットスーツで身体が浮いてしまうので、実際は群れになって泳ぐイルカたちを上から見下ろすような格好になります。それでも、小さな赤ちゃんイルカが目の前でくるんとジャンプする瞬間が見れ、その可愛さにキュンとしました☆

そこから今度はウミガメやきれいな魚たちが見られるポイントへ移動。
ライフジャケットを脱いで水の中へ潜ると、黄色や淡いブルーなど色とりどりの魚たちが自分の周りをグルグルと行き交ってる様子がまるで宝石箱のようで最高に贅沢な気分でした☆☆
肝心のウミガメはボートの上からしか見られませんでしたが、初めて見る海の中の世界は素晴らしいものでした。

最後に写真についてですが、同行するカメラマンが取ってくれたものを50＄で購入することが出来ます。参加メンバーや水中の様子はもちろん、イルカやウミガメのかわいい姿が見られる
過去のベストショット集までついているので、値は張りますが自分で撮るより確実にいい写真が
手に入ります。

明るいスタッフの方々がきめ細かくサポートしてくださり、大人から子供まで幅広く楽しめるツアーですので、ぜひおすすめします。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It's a tour where you can meet sea turtles, but the tropical fish... ウミガメに会えるツアーですが熱帯魚は・・・。

Reviewed by: ジュリ

The water clarity was so-so. You could somewhat see the ocean floor, but not clearly. There were some larger tropical fish, but don't expect too much. However, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, which was an experience I hadn't had in previous snorkeling trips. I recommend this for those who want to see sea turtles. The location for check-in was a bit hard to find, and the staff member who guided us spoke only English, which made it a bit confusing. That's why I gave this rating, but if you're not concerned about these aspects and just want to see sea turtles, it's a good option.

水の透明度は、まーまーでした。海の底は何とか見えたり見えなかったりです。熱帯魚は大きめな魚がチヤホヤ程度で、期待はしてはいけませんが、ウミガメが目の前に現れました。これは今までのシュノーケリングには無かった経験でした。ウミガメを見たい方はお薦めです。受付の場所が分かりにくいのと、受付の案内をするお兄さんが英語のみで、わかりにくかったので、この評価にしましたが、この辺りを気にせずウミガメを見たい場合は手頃です。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise (Includes Onboard Lunch and Marine Sports) by Elite Dolphin University 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ（船上ランチ・マリンスポーツ付き）　by 名門イルカ大学

Reviewed by: SHU

When we left the hotel, it was raining quite heavily, and I was worried, but by the time we arrived at the port, it was clear skies!! The one-hour journey to the port flew by thanks to our guide's stories. I was a bit anxious because we couldn't find the dolphin teacher for a while, but in the end, we managed to encounter it, and then the turtle professor also appeared, which was great. I definitely want to participate again next time.

ホテルを出るときはかなり雨が降っていて心配でしたが、港に着くころには快晴！！
港までの1時間もガイドさんの話であっというまでした。
イルカ先生がなかなか見つからず焦りましたが、最後にはなんとか遭遇でき、そのあとにはウミガメ教授も現れて良かったです。是非次回も参加したいです。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Turtle Canyon Snorkel

Reviewed by: Meg

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.

We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.

It was mysterious! 神秘的でした！

Reviewed by: Foogee3

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried, but there was no problem at all. It was mystical to see the turtles swimming and the schools of fish. Also, the view of the coastal hotels when returning from the sea was lovely. I think it's a sight you don't get to see often!

船酔いするタイプなので、ちょっと心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。
亀が泳ぐ姿や魚の群れが見れて神秘的でした。
また、沖から戻る際に見えた海岸ホテル群の景色が素敵です。なかなか見れない景色だと思いますよ！

Absolutely amazing, so moving!!! とにかく最高、感動！！！

Reviewed by: かすみ

This was our first time participating in Dolphin University as a pair. Since we were on the first bus, it was really early in the morning, but the staff member kept everyone energized, so I wasn't sleepy at all! I also learned a lot of interesting facts about dolphins.

When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, we spotted dolphins in about five minutes!!! Around 20 dolphins were right in front of us! After that, we returned to the boat to relax, and then we saw another group of dolphins! This time, we even got to see a baby dolphin swimming along, and we were thrilled to witness dolphin jumps live! Later, we encountered three sea turtles, and I was constantly amazed throughout the trip!

We also had a packed schedule with canoeing, paddle surfing, a jumping contest from the boat, and a hula dance with all the participants! The pineapple and cheeseburger we had on the boat were really delicious. I was quite anxious about whether we would actually see dolphins before going, but it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying tour. Oh, for those who are worried about seasickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand (there were participants who got sick...). Also, a professional photographer took a lot of pictures during the tour, and I think it's definitely worth buying those photos! They were taken beautifully!

Next time I go to Hawaii, I absolutely want to participate again!

今回初めてイルカ大学に2人で参加しました。第1便だったので朝はすごく早かったのですがバスの中ではお姉さんがハイテンションでみんなを盛り上げてくれたので全く眠くなかったです！ イルカの豆知識もたくさん知ることができました。
いざ港に着き、船に乗り込むと5分くらいでイルカさんたちを発見！！！20頭くらいのイルカが私たちの目の前に！その後いったん船に戻りゆっくりしているとまた次のイルカの群れが！今度は赤ちゃんイルカも一緒に泳いでいるのも見れ、さらに生でドルフィンジャンプも見れて感動！そのあとは3匹の海亀さんにも出会え終始感動しっぱなしでした！
あとはカヌーやらパドルサーフィン、船からのジャンプ大会、参加者全員でのフラダンスと盛りだくさんの内容です！船の中で食べたパイナップルやチーズバーガーは本当においしかったです。行く前は本当にイルカに会えるか不安でしたが本当に大大大満足のツアーでした。あ、船酔いが心配な人は事前に必ず酔い止めを飲むのをオススメします。（参加者の中にもリバースしている人がいたので…）あとプロのカメラマンさんがツアー中にたくさん写真を撮ってくれるのですがその写真は絶対に買ったほうがいいと思います！ものすごく綺麗に撮ってくれます！
次ハワイに行く際はまた絶対に参加したいと思います！

My friends were very happy! 友人夫婦は大変喜んでくれました！

Reviewed by: 石田修治

This was my third experience, so I didn't have the strong impression I had the first time, but my friends who experienced it for the first time seemed to find it fresh and were very happy. They shared that it was a top-class event during our seven-night stay in Hawaii. As the one who invited them on this trip, I felt very pleased about that. Since it was muddy from the rain, the horses were slipping, which seemed to add to the thrill.

私自身は３度目の体験ですので、最初の時の強い印象はありませんが、今回初めて体験した友人夫婦には新鮮であったようでとても喜んでくれました。今回の７泊のハワイでのイベントのトップクラスと感想を伝えてくれました。その事が、今回の旅行を誘った私としては嬉しく思います。雨でぬかるんでいたため、馬が足を滑らせていたため、余計スリルに溢れていたようです。

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

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise

Reviewed by: Simon

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.
