We had a very nice time on the tour. We actually had a whale come within 40 ft of the boat.
Most of the sightings of the whales were of their tail fins in the distance.
A bonus was when a group of spinner dolphins came right alongside of us swimming and performing.

I boarded the bus while battling sleepiness due to the early morning, but the weather on the day of the tour was fantastic, and the tour guide was lively and energetic, which quickly chased away my drowsiness. I was a bit concerned about spending the whole day at sea, so the half-day plan was just right for me. It was a very fulfilling plan that felt like a condensed version of Dolphin University, and I enjoyed every moment of it.
On the day of the tour, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of wild dolphins as soon as we set sail from the port. Their high-pitched calls were clearly audible even underwater, which was truly moving. The sea was a stunning blue and transparent, like paint mixed with water, allowing me to experience the grandeur of nature not just visually but with my whole body.
I've been diving in beautiful places like Guam and Okinawa, but I was convinced that this was the sea of Hawaii. There were also elementary school children participating and having fun, so I can recommend this tour to people of all ages!
朝早かったために眠気と戦いながらバスに乗り込んだのですが、参加した日はとても天気が良く、ツアーガイドの方もはつらつとしていてテンションが高く、あっという間にそんな眠気も吹っ飛んでしまいました。一日中海にいるのは体力面で不安があったので、半日プランでちょうどよかったと思います。イルカ大学をぎゅっと凝縮したような非常に充実したプランで、余すところなく楽しめました。
当日は、運よく港から出航するとすぐに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇。きゅんきゅんと高い声で鳴いているのが水中でもよく聞こえ、感動しました。
海はまるで絵具を溶かしたかのように青く透明で、自然の雄大さを視覚だけでなく全身で味わうことができました。
グアムや沖縄など海がきれいなところで潜ったことがありますが、これがハワイの海かと納得しました。
小学生のお子さんも参加し楽しんでいたので、どんな年代の方にもおすすめできるツアーです!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.
I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.
On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.
Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!
It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい!」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました!!イルカの群れが!気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり!!
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。

While it was advertised as "swimming with dolphins," in reality, most of the time was spent having participants line up to touch the dolphins as they swam by or giving them kisses. The actual experience of swimming with the dolphins was just a brief moment, only a few meters. I felt that the price was too high for what was offered. The dolphin show in another pool at the facility was also underwhelming.
「イルカと泳ぐ」と銘打っていながら、実際は参加者を並ばせて側をイルカに泳がせて触らせたり、イルカとチューさせたり、でほとんどの時間を使い、イルカにつかまって泳ぐのはほんの一瞬、ほんの数メートルのみ。
その割には金額が高過ぎると感じた。

Since I have small children, I thought a dolphin swimming tour at the beach would be impossible, so I used this facility for the first time. However, I felt that the time spent interacting with the dolphins was short for the high price. There was a dolphin show within the facility that I was looking forward to, but I felt that the dolphin shows in Japan are more wonderful.
小さい子供がいるので、海でイルカを泳ぐツアーは無理だろうと、初めてこの施設を利用しましたが、高額の割にはイルカと接している時間は短いと感じました。

I was already feeling excited before the tour even started with the bus pickup around the hotels in Waikiki. The boat was larger than I expected and spacious, so I think it would be hard to get seasick unless the waves were really rough.
We had a meal on the boat, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about it. It was just ordinary local cuisine.
Inside the boat, they showed us pictures and explained things in English. It was labeled as having a Japanese guide, but there was none at all. I think they should revise that description.
When I went out on the deck, the weather was nice and the view was amazing. I felt like it was the right time to go out, but I wish they had informed us when we could go out.
Fortunately, we were able to see three whales swimming alongside us, and we got to see a lot of spouts. We even encountered one that was flipping its large tail while diving.
There were tourists from various countries on board, and everyone had their own way of enjoying the experience. I found myself having fun too, thanks to a lady who was joyfully shouting and celebrating.
ワイキキのホテルを回りながらのバスピックアップで、参加前から気分が高揚しました。

甲板に出ると、天候が良く素晴らしい景色でした。
これも、なんとなく今のタイミングだと思ってデッキに出たんですが、いつから出ていいのかは言ってほしいところですね。
運よく、3匹の鯨と並走で、潮吹きはたくさん見ることが出来まして、潜る際に大きく尾びれを回しているところにも遭遇できました。

OK, so the idea of going to 'find' sharks as opposed to avoiding them at all costs can take a little getting used to. However once I'd gotten over that, I have to say this is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had (and enjoyed) on the island.
There's two basic times that you can go out, Super early or Early, Yes that's right, Don't plan on a late night in the bar the night before trying to drum up Dutch courage because this boat leaves early and you want to get your sleep in.
After a leisurely 20-25 mins boat ride out (i think they said about 2 miles) to the dive site you arrive in an open water area, engines are cut and you pull up next to the cage. A quick chat from the crew, and two groups are selected A & B, This ensures you have maximum space in the cage and is a really cool idea.
We climbed in first, GoPro's on and ready to start shooting...
The cage is actually rather large and you definitely want to be up close to the bars hold on, and go down to get your first glimpse... I'm not going to say much more on what you'll see but I will say, This is a guaranteed sharks (plural, many lol) shark tank dive. They big, upclose and personal and you are totally safe in your secure housing...
You get ample time to take selfies, group shots, dive down again, hold the bottom of the cage etc as these amazing creatures swim all around you.
I'd forgot my wrist strap for my cam, No problem, The crew guy noticed as I was getting ready ad gave me a cool wrist-strap for it (thick rubber band!) Awesome Service.
Highly Recommended. 5*

The tour itself was really fun. The North Shore is famous for its high waves and surfing, so the ride to the destination was quite bumpy. Even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt a bit unwell. There were about 4 to 5 other people who also looked like they were feeling sick, and some were even vomiting. If you're joining the tour, don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

I want to swim with dolphins someday. It's not just about feeling like I'm swimming with dolphins far out in the ocean; I want to touch them and make that dream come true at Sea Life Park Hawaii. The encounter happened on Christmas Day, and the scenery of the ocean on the way was stunning. My family was overwhelmed by the turtle squad inside the park. They are just so cute. Finally meeting the dolphins that I've been waiting for was amazing. The dolphins are incredibly adorable! The instructions for swimming with the dolphins were provided in both English and Japanese, so I was mentally prepared. The trainer, who was wearing a Boy's shirt, was also quite cute as she adjusted her shirt.
And then it was showtime! I didn't have to worry about drowning since I was wearing a floatation vest. The pool has deep areas, but even though I'm not particularly slim, I found myself floating effortlessly. It was quite challenging to keep my feet down. It seemed more like the trainer was the playful one rather than the dolphins; every gesture and movement of the dolphins was adorable. We all lined up to touch the dolphins' backs, bellies, and dorsal fins as they swam slowly, and this was also being recorded on video. Next, we took photos while holding the dolphins, followed by kisses with the dolphins for more memorable pictures. Then, I held onto the dorsal fin of a dolphin and swam together, and two dolphins pushed up on my legs, lifting me up. The program ended there, but thanks to the trainer's thoughtful arrangement, we got to play with the dolphins a little longer. I wanted to swim even more.
For food, they serve American-style corn dogs, and the drinks are American-sized. If you want, you can check and purchase photos and DVDs as souvenirs at the end.
Overall, it was a fun Christmas gift to touch and swim with the dolphins. There was also a dolphin show, making it a delightful paradise. I highly recommend it. Mahalo!
いつかイルカと泳いでみたい。海の遠くにイルカが居て一緒に泳いだ気になるんじゃなくて、イルカに触れて、一緒に泳ぎたいを実現できるのがここ シーライフパーク・ハワイです。出会いはクリスマスの日、着いた先はシーライフパーク・ハワイ 道中海の景色も抜群です。うちの家族は園内に入りホヌ軍団に圧倒されました。とにかくかわいい。待ちに待ったイルカとの対面。またイルカたちがかわいいのナンの(笑)イルカと泳ぐ際の説明も英語、日本語の説明で心の準備OK!説明してくれたBoy'sシャツの裾を気にしているところがかわいいかった。そして本番!自分が泳げないとか、浮輪チョッキを着ているから溺れる心配無し。プール内は深いところもありますが、私も決して痩せているほうではありませんが、勝手に浮いてしまいます。足を鎮めることが大変なくらいでした。イルカがいたずら好きというよりも、トレーナーのお姉さんがいたずら好きなので、イルカの仕草、動き何もかもかわいい。イルカの背中、イルカのお腹、背びれとイルカがゆっくり泳いでいるところをみんな一列になって触るですけど、ここもビデオに撮られています。続いて、イルカを抱っこする形で写真撮影、続いてイルカとの接吻ここでも記念撮影、そしてイルカの背びれにつかまって一緒に泳ぐ、続いて、2頭のイルカが私の両足を1頭づつ押してくれて立ち上がっちゃうぐらい押してくれます。ここでプログラムは終わっちゃうんだけど、トレーナーさんの粋な計らいでイルカと少し戯れられる。もっともっと泳ぎたかった。
食事は、ここはアメリカ アメリカンドック系を、飲み物アメリカンサイズを食して、最後に写真とDVDをチェックして欲しければそこで購入しお土産に出来ます。
とにかく、イルカと触れて泳げて楽しいクリスマスプレゼントになりました。

The weather was nice, and I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. However, I enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea. I was so focused on the direction where the photographer was aiming his camera, hoping to spot a whale, that I ended up feeling a bit seasick.
The lunch buffet might be a bit disappointing if you imagine it by Japanese standards; it felt more like a school cafeteria lunch. If you stay out on the deck trying to see whales, you might miss out on eating. Once you head back, the food will be cleared away, so it's better to go inside and eat at your convenience.
Even though they say there is a "Japanese guide," the person who picks you up and the one explaining about the whales both spoke English. There might have been someone who could speak Japanese somewhere, but you need to look at the photo materials on the boat to learn about the whales yourself.
If you don't see any whales, the tour is just a boat ride out to sea and back to the port, so whether you enjoy it or not really depends on luck.
天気も良く期待していましたが残念ながらクジラには会えませんでした。
しかし、海から見るダンヤモンドヘッドなどの景色は楽しめました。
カメラマンがカメラを構えている方向にクジラが出るのかと海面に目を見張っていたせいか、ちょっと船酔いしてしまいました。
ランチビュッフェは日本基準で想像するとちょっとがっかりかもしれません。学食のランチのような感じです。クジラを見ようとずっとデッキに出ていると食べ損ねてしまいます。帰路についたら片付けられてしまうので適当に中に入って食べたほうがいいです。
「日本語ガイド」といっても送迎の人も、クジラの説明の人も英語です。おそらくどこかに日本語ができる人がいたのかもしれません。自分で船内の写真資料を見てクジラのことを知る必要があります。
クジラが見られなければ港から沖に船で出て帰ってくるだけのツアーですので楽しめるかどうかは「運」次第です。

I finally fulfilled my dream of swimming with dolphins! I was worried that the sea in December would be cold, but the weather was nice, and thanks to borrowing a wetsuit, I didn't feel cold at all. The crew spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease.
The view from the boat while searching for dolphins was beautiful, with the green mountains and blue sea being absolutely stunning! With my heart racing, the time finally came to enter the water! Once in the sea, the crew dove down and brought up a starfish! Immediately, the photographer took pictures.
While we were doing this, I was told to look down, and when I did, I saw a pod of dolphins! I was so excited to see dolphins swimming so close and followed the pod. I encountered the dolphins multiple times, and I even got to see them jump out of the water, which was exhilarating the entire time!
I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding during my free time, but due to the sea conditions, I couldn't, which was a bit disappointing. However, I did get to encounter a sea turtle, and I had a wonderful time!
The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious, and the photographer played the ukulele very well. The woman who danced the hula was also skilled, and there were many entertaining elements that kept us engaged.
At the end, we had photo opportunities at the helm, took pictures with the crew, and had a group photo with all participants, which was a lot of fun!
Since there were some people who got seasick, it might be a good idea for those who are anxious to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.
ずっとイルカと泳ぎたいと思っていた夢が、やっと叶いました!
12月の海は冷たいかと心配していましたが、天気も良く、ウェットスーツを借りたおかげもあって寒さは感じませんでした。クルーの方が、日本語がお上手なので安心です。
イルカを見つけるまでの船からの景色も、とてもキレイで、山の緑と海のブルーが素晴らしかったです!
ドキドキしながら、いよいよ海に入る時が来ました!
海に入ると、クルーの方が潜ってスターフィッシュを取ってくれました!
すると、すかさずカメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
そうこうしていると、下を見て〜と言われ、下を見るとイルカの群れが!
こんなに近くを泳ぐイルカを見て興奮しながらイルカの群れについて行きました。
何度もイルカの群れに遭遇できたし、水上でイルカのジャンプも見れ、終始大興奮でした!
自由時間に、スタンドアップパドルに挑戦してみたいと思っていたのですが、海の状況で、できないとのことで、少し残念でした。
でも海ガメにも遭遇できとても楽しい時を過ごす事ができました!
そして、船上で作られたハンバーガーもおいしかったし、カメラマンのウクレレ演奏もお上手だし、フラを踊られた女性もお上手で、飽きさせない工夫がされていました。
最後は操縦席での写真撮影や、クルーの方達との写真撮影、参加者全員での写真撮影もあり、みんなで楽しむ事ができました!
船酔いされてる方がいたので、不安な方は酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が安心かもしれませんね。
