It was just so noisy!! とにかく騒っぱなしでした！！

Reviewed by: あんな♡ゆみ

Since I was going to Hawaii, I wanted to have experiences that can only be done there! So I decided to participate!!

My impression of the experience is simply moving! I joined with the mindset of just wanting to see wild dolphins, but I was pleasantly surprised in a good way♡

On the morning of the event, a school bus picked us up around 6 AM near the hotel. It’s about a one-hour ride, but there was an explanation of the schedule and safety precautions on the bus, so I think it’s better to get plenty of sleep the night before since you won’t be able to nap. It also takes a lot of energy...

After arriving at the site, we immediately boarded the boat and set off! For those who want, there’s a rental of wetsuits for $10. We didn’t rent them, but it was quite cold on the boat, and it could help prevent sunburn, so it might have been a good idea to borrow one.

Within about 30 minutes of departure, we arrived at Makua Beach, a sacred place on Oahu. We received information that there were dolphins nearby!! Then, we saw countless dolphins jumping in a spot where we could clearly see them with the naked eye. We got excited, prepared ourselves, and entered the water. It was truly moving to see the dolphins playing right in front of us and to hear their sounds!! We encountered about 70-80 dolphins!!

After enjoying the dolphins thoroughly, we moved to a snorkeling spot and had fun snorkeling. This is the home of the turtles. As soon as we entered, we encountered a family of four turtles! The fish were beautiful too!

After returning to shore and changing, we took the bus back to Waikiki. We were able to return to the hotel by around noon, so we could make good use of the afternoon!

Even for us, who aren’t very good swimmers, we had a great time! I’m thinking I want to enroll in Dolphin University next!

せっかくハワイに行くのだから、ハワイでしか出来ない体験がしたい！と思い参加を決めました！！

参加した感想はとにかく感動です！野生のイルカが見れたらなーくらいの気持ちで参加しましたが、いい意味でとっても裏切られました♡

当日の朝は早く6時くらいにホテル付近までスクールバスでお迎え。
1時間ほどの移動ですが、バスの中でスケジュールの説明や安全に関する諸注意があり、寝ることが出来ないので前日はたっぷり睡眠をとって参加した方がいいと思います。体力も相当使うので、、、。

現地に到着後すぐにボートに乗り込み出発！希望者には$10でウェットスーツの貸し出しがあります。私達は借りませんでしたが、ボートの上はとても寒いのと日焼け防止にもなるので、借りてもよかったかも。

ボートが出発して30分もたたないくらいでオアフ島の聖地マクアビーチに到着。付近にイルカがいるとの情報が！！すると肉眼ではっきりわかるくらいのところで無数のイルカがジャンプしていました。興奮しながら準備をし、海に入りました。目の前をイルカたちが遊んでいたり、イルカの声が聞こえたり、本当に感動しました！！70-80頭くらいのイルカに会えました！！

充分にイルカを楽しんだ後はシュノーケルスポットへ移動し、シュノーケルを楽しみました。ここはカメのおうち。入ってすぐに4匹のカメの親子に出会えました！魚もきれいでした！

岸に戻って着替えて、またバスでワイキキへ。12時くらいにはホテルに戻れるので午後も有効活用出来ます！

泳ぎがあまり得意でない私達でもとっても楽しむことが出来ました！
次はイルカ大学に入学したいなーと思います！

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Amazing Adventure

Reviewed by: Kevin D

My girlfriend and I decided to do this as a spur of the moment adventure and it was well worth it. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks we would be seeing. The boat fit 16 people so we were split into two groups of 8 that took turns going into the cage. The cage was large and was able to fit 8 people comfortably. The instant I went underwater there were three sharks just swimming right by the cage. We ended up seeing about 6-8 different sharks and it was a surreal experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Amazing Trip!

Reviewed by: Cmaher55

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

A fun time with dolphins and sea turtles. イルカやウミガメたちと楽しい時間

Reviewed by: Takako

This time, we participated as a couple on our honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Since it was our first overseas trip, we had some anxiety, but once we joined, that anxiety quickly disappeared. During the welcome and snorkeling, both local guides and Japanese staff were there to guide us, so we felt safe using the services.

To our surprise, we spotted a pod of dolphins shortly after departing by boat, and with the guide's signal to go, we jumped into the water. With the call of "Look down!" we were able to see many dolphins. Watching the dolphins swim happily, even though we are not great swimmers, we had a wonderful time.

After moving to another spot, we were able to swim with colorful and cute Hawaiian fish. Just when we thought we couldn't find a sea turtle, one surfaced for air right near us, which was both surprising and delightful.

Next time, I definitely want to enroll in other schools as well. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

今回、ハワイへの新婚旅行で夫婦二人で参加させていただきました。
初めての海外旅行ということで不安な気持ちがありましたが、参加してみるとその不安もあっという間なくなりました。
お迎えやシュノーケリングでは、現地の方とともに日本人の方が終始ガイドや誘導をしていたでいたので、安心して利用させていただくことができました。

驚くことに船で出発してすぐにイルカの群れを発見することができ、誘導員さんのGOの合図で海へ飛び込み「下を見て！」の声とともに、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。イルカたちが気もち良さそうに泳ぐ姿を見ながら、泳ぎが苦手な私たち夫婦も楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

また、ポイントを移動してからは、ハワイらしいカラフルな可愛い魚たちと泳ぐことができました。
なかなかウミガメを見つけることができないなと思っていると、ちょうど息継ぎに上がってきたウミガメが私たちのすぐ近くにいたので、驚くとともに嬉しかったです。

次回は是非、他の学校にも入学してみたいと思います。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

Miracle!!! 奇跡！！！

Reviewed by: nacci

I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old child.

As soon as we left the hotel, it started to rain... Our guide, Sue, said, "It's the first rain in six months. But don't worry! This rain is a cleansing rain!" True to her words, by the time we reached the sea, the rain had stopped and the blue sky began to peek through.

However, it's definitely better to rent a wetsuit. It was cold on the boat due to the wind, and I've heard that jellyfish have been appearing lately. Everyone in our group rented wetsuits.

Once we got out to sea, we immediately saw a pod of dolphins! Moreover, they came to us without us having to chase them, swimming right below and beside us while we just floated in the water. Just before we got back on the boat, a huge school of sardines came by, allowing us to experience being surrounded by a black mass of fish. Apparently, this is not something that usually happens. We also saw about five sea turtles. It was so much fun!

Since it was our child's first time at the sea, I was a bit worried, thinking, "Will he be okay?" but he seemed to have a great time.

Above all, our guide Sue was incredibly entertaining. She provided detailed instructions because not paying attention could lead to injuries or cause the dolphins to escape, but she delivered the information with plenty of humor, which really lifted the mood.

My husband is more of an indoor person, so he didn't have high expectations for Hawaii's activities, but he said, "Let's come again! Since I don't have much stamina, let's do this again in middle school!"

We truly had a valuable experience. Thank you very much!!

《It's mentioned that it's good to bring some cash, but you should definitely have around $100 for the wetsuit rental, the photo fee of $50 (you can choose between data or CD), and tips.》

主人と５歳の子供の３人で参加しました。

ホテルを出ると雨…。ガイドのスーさんも「半年ぶりの雨です。でも大丈夫！この雨はお掃除の雨ですから！」との事。言葉通り、海へ着く頃には雨もあがって青空がのぞいてきました。

ただ、ウエットスーツはレンタルした方が絶対いいです。船の上は風もあって寒いのと、最近はクラゲがでるらしいので。私たちが参加したグループは皆レンタルしてました。

海へでると、すぐにイルカの群がいました～！しかも、おっかけなくてもイルカの方から来てくれたので、海に浮いてるだけで下や横を通ってくれました。船にあがるちょっと前にイワシの大群がやってきて、黒い群れの中に身を置くという体験もできました。普通こんなことは無いらしいです。ウミガメも５匹くらい見れました。めっちゃ楽しかったです。

５歳の子供は海へ行くのも初めてだったので「大丈夫かな？」と思っていたのですが、すごく楽しそうでした。

なんと言っても、ガイドのスーさんがとても楽しかったです。
説明を聞いていないと怪我につながったり、イルカが逃げたりするので、細かく注意が入るのですが、それもユーモアたっぷりに話してくださって場を盛り上げてくださってました。

主人はインドア派なので、あまりハワイのアクティビティに期待をしていなかったようなのですが「また来よう！！体力無いから次も中学で！」と言っているほどです。

本当に貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございました！！

I participated with my mother!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the ocean. ☆
As soon as we set sail from the harbor, we saw a pod of about 30 dolphins swimming nearby, which made me very happy! After entering the water twice to swim with the dolphins, we also had time to see beautiful fish and do some sea kayaking, which was very fulfilling.
The staff were very cheerful and attentive, making for a fun experience. My mother stayed on the boat and didn't enter the water, but she was very pleased that the captain gave her bread to attract the beautiful fish.
The boat didn't rock too much, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand.
The staff were also very caring towards those who did get seasick, which was very reassuring.
I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time!

母と二人で参加しました！
初ハワイだったのですが海のキレイさにまず感動☆
港から出港してすぐ近くにイルカちゃん達が泳いでいて、30頭くらいの群れを目にすることができ大満足でした！！二回イルカを見るために海に入り近くで泳いだ後、ポイントを変えてキレイな魚を見たりシーカヤックをする時間も設けてありボリュームたっぷり。
スタッフのみなさんはとても明るく気遣いも素晴らしく楽しい時間を過ごせました。母は海に入らず船の上で過ごしていましたが、その間も船長さんがパンをくださってキレイな魚を呼んでみせてくれたりと楽しませてもらったととても喜んでいました。
船はそんなに揺れませんでしたが、船酔いしやすい方は薬を事前に服用した方がよいかもしれません。
船酔いした方にもスタッフの方たちがきちんと介抱されていて、とても好感がもてました。
またハワイにいく際には参加したいと思います！

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）＞

What a disappointment!! It was underwhelming. 残念！！期待外れでした

Reviewed by: cocom

I was filled with excitement as I boarded the car for my first submarine experience.

I felt thrilled even while on the boat from Ala Moana Harbor to the offshore location. When we arrived at the point, the announcement mentioned that the previous submarine was surfacing. Bubbles formed, and in no time, the submarine appeared right in front of us. Finally, it was our turn to board. Due to the steep stairs, we slowly descended backwards into the submarine.

My first impression was that, despite being a premium experience, the windows inside the submarine were quite small. Following the crew's guidance, I took my seat. The dive began, and we descended to the seabed. Since I participated in the Japanese tour, I had no trouble with the language, and the explanations were easy to understand. However, depending on the direction we were seated, the season, and the ocean currents, visibility was not very clear, which was disappointing. Given my high expectations, I felt let down.

初めての潜水艦乗船に、わくわく気分で迎えの車に乗車。

アラモアナハーバーから沖合いまでの船の中でもわくわく。
ポイントに着くと船内放送にて前の潜水艦が浮上して来るとのこと。泡が立ちアッという間に潜水艦が目の前に浮上。
やっと順番が来て乗船開始。急な階段の為、後ろ向きにてゆっくり、ゆっくり下り船内に。
第一印象は、プレミアムの割には、船内の窓が狭い。船員さんの案内に従い着席。
潜水が開始され海底へ。
日本語ツアー参加なので言葉には困らず、案内も分かりやすかったが、座る方向、季節、海流にもよるのだろうか？あまり鮮明に見えず残念。
期待が大きかった分、がっかりしてしまった。

The best memories! 最高の思い出！

Reviewed by: イルカ大学 卒業生♡

I decided to sign up for this tour right away when I planned a trip to Hawaii with my friends. I had heard that if luck wasn't on our side, we might not encounter dolphins, but swimming with my favorite dolphins has been a dream of mine for a long time, so I was filled with anticipation!

The day before, I called to inform them about the hotel and room where I was staying, and I was very relieved to speak with a Japanese woman.

Then came the long-awaited day. I received a call even before the meeting time, and I wondered what it was about. It turned out that there were few participants for Dolphin Junior High, so we were upgraded to Dolphin University for free!!! I was so happy that my friend and I were overjoyed from the morning.

After being picked up from the hotel, we rode the bus for about an hour. We then transferred to a boat to go search for dolphins. The crew members were all cheerful and funny! It was so much fun!

And then we spotted the dolphins we had been longing to see! We all jumped off the boat immediately and approached the dolphins. It seemed that our class was a lucky day that only happens once every two weeks, as a cute pod of dolphins swam close by without leaving us! Watching the dolphins swim gracefully right in front of us was truly healing and moving. I had brought an underwater camera, so I was able to capture great shots of the dolphins swimming! It was truly, truly a wonderful time. I will never forget it.

Thank you so much to everyone at Dolphin Junior High and Dolphin University!

友達とハワイに行くことになり、真っ先に申し込んだこのツアー。運が悪ければイルカに出会えない事もあると聞いていましたが、大好きなイルカと一緒に泳ぐのはずっと昔からの夢だったので期待を込めて！

前日に泊まっているホテルと部屋を連絡する為に電話しましたが、対応して下さったのが日本人の女性の方でとても安心しました。

そして待ちに待った当日。
集合時間より早く電話がかかってきたので何だろう？と思ったら、イルカ中学への参加者が少なかった為、イルカ大学に無料でアップグレードとのこと！！！嬉しすぎて朝から友人と大はしゃぎでした。

ホテルにピックアップが来てからバスに揺られること約一時間。船に乗り換えてイルカを探しにでかけます。乗組員さん達はみんな陽気で面白い方ばかり！とっても楽しいです！

そして念願のイルカを発見！
すぐにみんなで船から飛び降りて、イルカに接近します。私たちの授業は２週間に１度あるかないか位のラッキーデーだったらしく、可愛いイルカの群れがずーっと近くを離れずに泳いでくれていました！目の前で気持ち良さそうに泳ぐイルカは、本当にみていて癒されるし、感動しました。水中カメラを持っていっていたので、泳いでるイルカの姿もばっちり撮影することができました！本当に本当に、素敵な時間でした。一生忘れません。

After graduating from Iruka Junior High School イルカ中学を卒業して

Reviewed by: hiro&china

The endlessly blue sky and the crystal-clear emerald sea where you can see the bottom. Swimming alongside the lively wild dolphins in such a wonderful Hawaiian sea created truly unforgettable memories. As first-time snorkelers, everything was a new experience for us, but thanks to the generous support from the staff, we were able to enjoy it safely. When we signed up, we had concerns about whether we would actually see wild dolphins and if we would feel unwell, but those worries faded away in the face of the stunning scenery and the dolphins that healed us. The staff informed us that wild dolphins live over 20 years longer than those kept in aquariums, and it made sense to me that they would thrive in such a wonderful environment. When sea turtles and tropical fish approached us without any signs of fear, it felt like we were naturally swimming as part of that ocean. There are many tours that are worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime, but I think there are not many that make you want to experience them again. If we come back to Hawaii, we would love to re-enroll in Dolphin School.

どこまでも青い空と底が見えるほど透明度の高いエメラルドの海。元気に泳ぐ野生のイルカ達とそんな素晴らしいハワイの海を一緒に泳げて、本当に最高の思い出が出来ました。シュノーケル初体験の私達は、何から何まで初めて尽くしでしたが、手厚いサポートのスタッフの皆さんのお陰で、無事に体験する事が出来ました。参加を申し込んだ時は、野生のイルカにそんなに都合よく会えるのか？体調不良にならないか？など不安もありましたが、そんな心配や不安は感じる暇もないほど素晴らしい景色とイルカ達に癒されました。スタッフの方に、野生のイルカは水族館に飼育されているイルカに比べて２０年以上長生きすると教わり、なるほどこれだけ素晴らしい環境でのびのび生きられたらそうなるなと納得でした。ウミガメや熱帯魚も人間を警戒する様子もなく、目の前まで近づいてきた時は、自分たちがその海の一員として自然と一体になって泳いでいる様な感覚でした。人生で一度でも体験すれば良いツアーはいっぱいありますが、もう一度体験したいと思えるツアーはそんなに多くないと思います。私たちはまたハワイに来たらイルカ中学に再入学したいと思います。

Reviewed by: m&m

I went to Hawaii for my wedding and honeymoon. I decided to participate in a dolphin encounter to create lasting memories from my time in Hawaii.

Although the meeting time was early at 6:10 AM, I was able to catch a little sleep on the bus.

I was taken care of by Sue, and I had a really enjoyable time! I listened carefully to the instructions on the bus, and upon arrival, we moved to a spot on the boat where we could see dolphins. It's recommended to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag, like a plastic bag, just in case they get wet.

While there are chances you might not see dolphins, the class I participated in was very lucky, and we encountered a pod of nearly 70 dolphins multiple times, getting to see them up close! From the boat, we could also see dolphins swimming alongside us! Swimming with the dolphins (or rather, seeing them underwater) was a dream come true, and I was extremely satisfied!

Additionally, during the second hour, we were able to see sea turtles up close. It was my first experience seeing sea turtles this close.

However, since you have to swim on your own, it's best to let someone know if you're not comfortable with that.

The weather was great all day, and the water clarity was excellent! Meeting dolphins and sea turtles was the highlight of my trip!

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...

However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!

Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

Going to Hawaii and meeting dolphins was a completely new experience for me. When I think of Hawaii, I think of the "beautiful ocean," and I had a strong desire to see "wild dolphins" in that stunning, vast sea, so I signed up for this option.

On the way to the harbor, the guide explained the diving location and the types of dolphins we would encounter. They also briefly talked about the city and its tourist attractions. The guide was Japanese, very cheerful, straightforward, and easy to talk to.

Once we arrived at the harbor, to avoid wasting time, a lecture was held on the bus. We learned how to put on life jackets and how to signal in case of an emergency. Thanks to the prior instructions, I was able to smoothly determine what to do upon arrival at the harbor. Additionally, I was asked on the bus whether I wanted to wear a wetsuit, which I learned could also serve as a warm layer, so I decided to wear it. My husband chose not to wear one, but since the weather was nice, he didn't feel cold afterward. There were no issues with sunburn either.

Upon arriving at the harbor and boarding a small boat, there were two staff members: one was a photographer and the other was the captain, both of whom spoke a bit of Japanese and were improving their language skills day by day. After a few minutes of sailing, we reached our destination and witnessed something large jumping out of the water. Yes, it was the dolphins we were looking for.

Not just one, but dozens of dolphins were leaping and showing off their presence while waiting for us. Excited, we immediately jumped into the sea. We had an agreement to always stay close to the guide and to signal immediately if anything happened.

When we dove in, it wasn't the dolphins coming to us; we were the ones going to find them, searching desperately underwater. The guide went ahead to the location where the dolphins were and signaled us, and we swam towards them. When we got close to the guide, we could see a group of dolphins (dozens of them) swimming gracefully. It was difficult to approach them, and we could only observe from about three meters away, swimming alongside them. Some lucky individuals had dolphins come close enough to touch, reaching out their hands.

According to the guide, there are times when the dolphins swim slowly and times when they swim quickly. After all, they are wild dolphins... We had two chances to dive and meet the dolphins! During the first attempt, I could barely keep up with the guide. When we reached the area where the dolphins were, they disappeared quickly, and I couldn't see them well. After returning to the boat and moving to a different location, we had a second chance! By the second attempt, I had gotten used to swimming with the fins on my feet. I was able to reach the guide more easily, increasing the number of times I saw the dolphins and allowing me to swim with them a lot. The dolphins also swam in groups, and we could see five or six at a time. While diving nearby, I could even hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyu-kyu." I was able to swim alongside them, matching their direction, and I was extremely satisfied!

ハワイへ行くこと、イルカに会いに行くこと、全て初めての体験でした。
ハワイと言えば「きれいな海」そんなきれいな広い海で「野生のイルカ」が見てみたいと言う強い気持ちを持ちこのオプションに申し込みました。

港へ行くまでは、バスの中でガイドさんが当日潜る海の場所やイルカの種類の説明。また、市内について(観光名所)を軽く話してくださいました。ガイドさんは日本人の方で、とても明るく、サバサバしていて、とても話しやすかったです。

港に着いてからモタモタし、時間を無駄にしてしまわない為に、バスの中で、レクチャーが行われました。
ライフジャケットの付け方、緊急時に備えてのサインの出し方。事前に教えてくださったお蔭で、港に着いてまずは何をしなくてはいけないのか自分で判断することができスムーズに行動ができました。それと、バスの中でウエットスーツを着るか着ないかを聞かれ、防寒着にもなると言うのも聞いたので私は着用しました。夫の方は着用はしませんでしたが、天気も良かった為もあり、終了後も寒がることなく過ごせました。日焼けの方も問題はなかったです。

港に着き、小型船に乗ると、スタッフさんがあと２人。その方々は外人の方で、１人はカメラマンさんで、もう１人は船長さんでした。片言の日本語を話し、日に日に日本語が上手になっているそうですｗ
船を走らせること、数分後、目的の場所に着くと、何か大きな物体が飛び跳ねるのを目の当たりに。そう、目的のイルカです。
一頭だけではなく数十頭ものイルカが代わる代わる回転しながら飛び跳ね存在感をアピールして私たちを待っていました。
テンションマックスの私たちはすぐさま海へ。
ここでの約束として、常に団体行動としてガイドさんのそばから離れないこと。何かあったらすぐにサインを送ること。を守りながらイルカに会いにいきました。
潜って見ると、イルカが会いに来てくれるのではなく、私たちがイルカに会いに行くというスタンスで、必死に海の中を探し回りました。また、ガイドさんが先にイルカのいる位置まで行ってくれ、私たちに合図をし、私たちはガイドさん目がけて常に泳いでいました。
ガイドさんのそばに行くとイルカの集団(何十頭)が優雅に泳いでいるのを目にできました。近づくことは難しく３メートルぐらい離れた位置で見れて、一緒に泳ぐという形でした。運がよく自分の近くまでイルカが来てくれたという方もいて、その方は手を伸ばせば触れれる距離だったそうです。
ガイドさん曰く、ゆっくり泳いでくれる時と、スピードが早い時があるみたいです。なんせ、野生のイルカなので。。。
イルカに会いに潜れるチャンスは２回！！一回目はガイドさんについていくのがやっと。イルカのいる場所まで行ってイルカが見えたと思ったらすぐにいなくなってしまい、ゆっくり、じっくりと見えませんでした。一度船に上がり、船の位置を移動してから２回目のチャレンジ！！２回目には足についているフィンで泳ぐことにも慣れてきました。すぐにガイドさんの所にも行けるようになり、イルカを見る回数も増え、たくさん一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカの方も常に団体行動をしており、一回につき５、６頭も見れました。近くで潜っていると、「キュ～キュ～」と言うようなイルカの鳴き声まで耳にできるように。イルカの真上でイルカの泳ぐ向きに合わせ、並走して泳ぐことができ、とってもとっても大満足でした！

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon.

The tour instructor was very friendly, kind, and cheerful. They congratulated us, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations!" and we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout the bus ride.

The captain and the photographer were also very bright and energetic, and we had a truly enjoyable time☆

As for the dolphins, we encountered them surprisingly quickly after boarding. It seems that the dolphins in the area we were guided to tend to swim in groups, and we were able to see nearly 20 dolphins up close! I was really happy and moved because I never expected to see so many dolphins so close.

After that, the captain steered the boat so we could swim with the dolphins again, and we were able to swim near them several times.

Not only that, but I was also able to swim with sea turtles and colorful tropical fish, which made me very satisfied☆

I highly recommend this to everyone going to Hawaii. You will surely have a wonderful experience!

I also want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ハワイにはハネムーンで行きました。

ツアーのインストラクターの方はとても気さくで親切な、明るい方でした。
「ハネムーンですか？おめでとうございます！」とお祝いしてくださり、
バスの移動中も終始楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。

船長さん、カメラマンさんもとても明るく元気な方で本当に楽しい時間を過ごせました☆

肝心のイルカはというと、乗船してから驚くほどすぐに出会うことが出来ました。
案内していただいたエリアに生息するイルカは群れで行動する習慣があるそうで、
なんと20頭近くのイルカを間近で見ることが出来ました！
あんなに近くで、しかもあんなにたくさんのイルカに会えるとは思っていなかったので
本当に嬉しく、感激でした。

その後も、船長さんがイルカと再び泳げるよう舵を取ってくださり、何度か近くで泳ぐことが出来ました。

それだけでなく、ウミガメやカラフルな熱帯魚とも泳げて大満足です☆

ハワイに行かれる皆さんにぜひぜひお勧めしたいです。
きっと素敵な体験ができますよ！

私もまたハワイに行く際には、参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I was divided into a Japanese group and an English group, and I was able to experience it entirely in Japanese. However, I was unclear about what we were waiting for, as the start time was delayed by about 30 minutes. That was my only complaint. I think the return time is just right for families with children.

日本人グループと英語グループとに分けてくれて、日本語オンリーで体験できました。
ただ、何を待っていたのか不明ですが、始まる時間が３０分ほど遅れました。
それだけが不満でした。
帰りの時間も子連れにはちょうどいいと思います。

Eels are good, but fish too. エイも良いけど魚もね

Reviewed by: haha

The stingray tank is not very deep or wide. It’s perfectly fine if you can’t swim, as life jackets and snorkel masks are provided. Although the explanation was in English, the staff provided instructions in Japanese during our visit.

When entering the pool, you should do so quietly and slowly; kicking your feet is absolutely not allowed as it scares the stingrays and fish away. You should wait in the shallow area, which is the stingrays' pathway, and you can touch the stingrays' fins, but not their bellies or backs.

The smooth and soft texture of the stingrays was very pleasant. Additionally, the experience of feeding the fish was truly moving. The instructor handed me some romaine lettuce, and as soon as I held it, the fish gathered around and started eating it with incredible enthusiasm. I could feel them poking at my fingers. Even though I was just floating and being poked by the fish, I felt very relaxed and healed. This is a tour that you can't easily experience elsewhere, so I highly recommend it.

Lockers are available for $3, but there are benches in the area accessible only to tour participants, so I think you can just leave your things there.

This time, I participated in an activity that started at 1:20 PM. I took the first Waikiki Trolley and arrived around 10 AM. I was able to see both the dolphin show and the sea lion show, which was a lot of fun. Since there is no shade for either show, it’s a good idea to bring a parasol. I changed slowly, fed the birds, and returned on the 2:50 PM trolley. The last stop on the Blue Line is Kahala Mall, where I transferred to the Green Line to return to Waikiki.

I tried Dippin' Dots for the first time at the shop. It’s a strange dessert. Definitely give it a try!

エイの水槽は深く、広くはありません。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルマスク着用の為
泳げなくても全く問題ありません。英語での説明ですが私たちの時は、スタッフの方が日本語で注意事項の説明をしてくれました。

プールに入る時はスリ足で静かに入る事・エイや魚が怖がって寄ってこなくなるのでバタ足は絶対しない事・浅瀬になっている所がエイの通り道なので、その場所で待つ事・エイのヒレに触り、お腹と背中は触らない事という内容でした。

エイの滑らかでソフトな感触は気持ちの良いものでした。
又、その後の魚へのエサやり体験が感動モノでした。
インストラクターからサニーレタスを渡されましたが、手に持った瞬間から、魚たちが集まり
凄い勢いで食べ始めました。私の指にもツンツン突く感触が、伝わりました。
ただ浮いていて、魚にツンツンされただけなのに、とてもリラックスでき、癒されました。
なかなか他では体験できないツアーなのでお勧めです。

ロッカーは３ドルですが、ツアー参加者のみ入るスペースにベンチがあるので、そこに置けば
必要無いと思います。

今回、１時２０分開始のアクティビティに参加しました。
ワイキキトロリー１便でワイキキを出発し１０時頃着きました。
イルカショーとアシカショーも見られました。アシカショーがとっても楽しかったです。
両方とも日影が無いので日傘を持っていくと良いです。ゆっくり着替えをして、鳥に餌をやり２時５０発のトロリーで帰ってきました。ブルーラインの最終停留所はカハラモールなのでここでグリーンラインに乗り換えて、ワイキキに戻りました。

売店で売られているドッピンドッツを初めて食べました。不思議なスイーツです。
是非試してみてください。

Whale Watching Cruise by Star of Honolulu ホエールウォッチングクルーズ　by スターオブホノルル号

Reviewed by: こうとも

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.

2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠～くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Best activity on oahu

Reviewed by: Forrest

Husband and daughter loved this trip. It was the highlight of our vacation. This is our 2nd catamaran trip from this harbor but first time with this company. Staff was top notch: knowledgeable about dolphin conservation, friendly, professional. Exceptional all around. My daughter snorkeled with a staff member and he swam to the bottom to get her a shell, cleaned it properly and gave it to her. Husband loved the bar. Only gripe: a lower price should be charged for all under 21 yrs old since they don't get alcohol like the adults do but pay the same price.

Reviewed by: Yoko

I came to Hawaii as part of my work and participated in a dolphin tour that I had been interested in for a while during my free time. The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and fish, and I got to experience kayaking as well. Additionally, there was a mini lesson for hula dancing that I could join! It was a half-day tour, and the staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again. If I had to mention something, the tour photos were available for purchase on a USB for $60, but when I looked at them later, I realized there weren't many of my photos, so while it was a nice keepsake, I felt it wasn't necessary to buy them.

仕事の一環でハワイに来て、自由時間に以前から興味のあるドルフィンツアーに参加しました。朝6時集合と早いですが、ドルフィンだけでなく、ウミガメや魚と一緒に泳ぐことができましたし、カヤックなども体験できます。それから、フラの体験ミニレッスンにも参加できます！半日のツアーですが、スタッフも明るくて楽しかったです。ぜひ、また参加したいです。敢えて言うなら、ツアーの写真をUSBで60ドルで購入できるのですが、後で見たら自分の写真はあまりなかったので、記念にはなりますが購入の必要はなかったかなと思いました。
