It's best to take Premium tour if you want to see. The tour guide was very funny. We enjoued ourselves. We like how colors break down as you descend into ocean floor.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Disappointed

Reviewed by: May

You get a quick instruction on how to get in and get out of the scooter, and they teach you important hand signals. I don't know how to swim and never been underwater so I was extremely nervous. But everyone gets their own instructor so if you're freaking out, they're right there to help you. These guys were nice and never push you past your own comfort zone. I actually freaked out going underwater so my instructor brought me back up for a minute, let me calm down and tried it again. I got to see fish and even a few sea turtles swim by it was awesome!

My main complaint is that the guy taking pictures didn't catch any of this. He didn't take pictures until AFTER the fish swam by. So majority of my pictures that I paid $45 for are just of me in the water with no fish in it. What a waste!!

Now this is a warning for those of you who get motion sickness: I took Dramamine an hour before going out to sea and let me tell you that didn't work. While waiting for other people to have their turn, the boat was moving like crazy and I got seasick. Two other people actually got sick as well.

Overall this was a fun activity and I like that they let you snorkel while waiting for others to have their turn. However, I don't recommend this activity if you are prone to motion sickness.

Tip: Bring your own underwater camera!

I swam with dolphins. ｲﾙｶと泳げた

Reviewed by: mio.y

According to our guide, there are times when you might not see them, but on the day we participated, we immediately spotted dolphins as soon as we got on the boat! We quickly got ready and headed out to sea. We were able to see a wild mother and baby dolphin playing and swimming close enough to reach out to them. We encountered dolphins 2 or 3 more times after that, and we were very satisfied. We also had an encounter with a sea turtle.

ガイドさんの話では見れない場合もあるとのことでしたが、私たちが参加した日は船にのってすぐにｲﾙｶが！すぐに準備して海へ。手のとどきそうな場所を野生のイルカの親子が戯れながら泳いでいく様子がみれました。その後も2～3回ｲﾙｶと遭遇でき、大満足です。ウミガメとも遭遇できました。

It was moving to interact with dolphins! イルカと触れ合えて感動！

Reviewed by: Kさん

I signed up for this experience because my husband wanted to interact with dolphins, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. They provided a thorough explanation in Japanese about the precautions beforehand, which allowed us to enter the pool without any anxiety. The dolphins even held our hands and gave us kisses, which was incredibly fun. After the interaction time ended, my husband continued to applaud the jumping dolphins and was very satisfied with the photos we purchased. It was clear that the staff cares for the dolphins and values Hawaii's nature, and I learned a lot from this experience, leaving me with a sense of richness.

イルカと触れ合いたいという夫の希望で申し込みましたが、とても良い経験ができました。事前に注意点等について、日本語で丁寧に説明してくれたので、不安もなくプールに入ることができました。イルカは私達おじさんやおばさんとも、手（？）をつないだり、キスしたりしてくれ、すごい楽しかったです。夫はふれあいタイムが終わった後もジャンプするイルカに拍手を送り続け、写真を購入して大満足でした。スタッフがイルカを大切に育てていることやハワイの自然を大事にしていることが伝わり、私もいろいろ学ぶことができ、豊かな気持ちになりました。

with family ファミリーで

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was our family's first trip to Hawaii. Since it was highly recommended in every guidebook, we enrolled in Dolphin University.

It takes just under an hour to get from Waikiki to the harbor, but thanks to the cheerful conversation from the driver, we arrived in no time.

I recommend trying the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery.

I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication to the hotel, but a kind family who was also on the trip shared some with me, which helped ease my seasickness a bit. However, I think motion sickness medication is essential.

It was a wonderful time swimming with dolphins and seeing turtles.

家族では始めてのハワイ旅行。
どのガイドブックにも載っていて評判が良さそうだったのでイルカ大学に入学してきました。

ワイキキから港まで一時間弱かかりますが運転手の陽気な会話にあっという間に着きました。

レナーズベーカリーのマラサダも食べられるのはオススメです。

酔い止めの薬をホテルへ忘れてきてしまいましたが同乗した他の優しい家族連れの方に頂き船酔いが少しばかり緩和されましたが酔い止め薬、必須だと思います。

イルカと一緒に泳げたり亀が見れたりと素晴らしい時間でした。

I was healed by many wild dolphins. たくさんの野生のイルカに癒された

Reviewed by: ヒトン

I participated with my sister. A few years ago, I joined a tour on Oahu with a friend for the first time and was deeply moved, so I decided to share the same experience with my sister. The boat was significantly smaller than the one I had been on before, and since there were many participants that day, we had to sit in a position where it was difficult to see outside the front of the boat (I could barely see through a foggy small window by standing up), which made it a bit cramped and I ended up feeling a little seasick. At one point, our seats became a storage area, and we had nowhere to sit. I had never felt uncomfortable during my previous participation, so I felt sad thinking it shouldn't have been like this. If I had experienced something like this during my previous participation, I might have chosen a different tour instead. (If the Japanese guide had shown a bit more consideration, it might have felt completely different...)

However, I was able to see many dolphins and three baby sea turtles, which quickly lifted my spirits. In the end, we danced the hula and had a fun time returning.

I heard that they will be purchasing a larger boat for the summer, so I would like to consider joining again during my next visit.

姉と二人で参加しました。数年前に初めてオアフ島へ友人と行った際に参加をさせて頂き、大変感動した為、姉にも同じ思いを。。。との気持ちで参加を決めました。以前乗船した船より大分小さくなっており当日は参加者が多かった為、船の先端の 外が見ずらい(立ち上がってようやく曇った小窓からすこし見える程度)位置に座り窮屈だった為少し船酔いをしてしまいました。途中から私たちの席は荷物置き場になってしまい座る席がなくなりました。以前参加した時は不快な思いをする事が一度もなかった為、こんなはずではなかったとの思いにかられ悲しくなりました。以前参加した時が今回のような体験をしていたらこちらのツアーではなく違うツアーにしていたかもしれません。(日本語ガイドの方の気遣いが少しでもあれば気持ち的には全く違ったかもしれませんが、、、)
しかし、たくさんのイルカと海亀親子3匹に会う事が出来て、悲しい気持ちは一気に吹っ飛びました。　最後はフラダンスを踊り楽しく帰って来れました。

夏には大きい船を購入されるそうなので、次回訪問時はまた検討したいと思います。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise by Private Dolphin Junior High School 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ　by　私立イルカ中学

Reviewed by: AKIKO

Woke up at 6:00 AM, gathered at 6:30.
It feels a bit early, but it's necessary. Waking up early is essential to meet the dolphins.

Once we boarded the bus, the morning homeroom led by the student council president, "Akao-chan," began.
The homeroom covered our upcoming plans and safety precautions for the ocean. I was sleepy, but it seemed important, so I listened seriously. (In fact, I think it's better to pay attention since it is important.)

After about an hour of driving, we arrived at the West Coast.
We quickly boarded the boat.

The boat for Dolphin Junior High was smaller than that of Dolphin University, so it swayed quite a bit.
But the scenery around us was amazing!!
Especially the legendary "???" where the Hawaiian music god IZ rests (I'm sorry, I forgot the name) was breathtaking. I wanted to land there. Is that possible?

After about 30 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we finally arrived at the dolphin point.
I jumped into the sea. The key here is to borrow a wetsuit. By the way, I jumped in wearing just swim trunks and it was extremely cold... Don't underestimate the ocean.

After a while, Akao-chan shouted, "Look down, look down!"
When I looked down as instructed, I spotted a pod of dolphins!! There were probably around 50 of them.
It was lucky to find them so quickly.
After that, friendly dolphins were playing just 5 meters away, spinning around, giving us a very precious experience.

That's all for my dolphin experience.

Personally, I also enjoyed the sea turtle observation tour.
I couldn't see any turtles because I got tired, but I encountered a giant stingray and swam alongside it.

Overall, it felt very active, so I think it's more suited for younger people.
Also, since the boat sways quite a bit, if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

Thank you, Akao-chan.

朝6：00起床、6:30集合。
ちょっと早いような気がしますが、これでいいんです。

バスに乗り込むと『あかおちゃん』こと生徒会会長による朝のホームルームが始まる。
ホームルームの内容は、これからのプラン及び海での注意事項。
眠いが重要そうなので真面目に聞きました。(実際重要なので真面目に聞いたほうがいいと思います)

1時間ほどの運転で西海岸に到着。
早速船に乗り込む。

イルカ中学はイルカ大学より船が小さいためかなり揺れました。
でも周りの景色は最高！！
特に伝説のハワイアンミュージックの神様IZが眠る「???」(すみません、名前忘れてしまいました)は絶景中の絶景でした。上陸したかったです。できませんかね？

船に揺られること30分、ついのイルカポイントに到着。
海に飛び込む。ここでのポイントはウェットスーツ借りること。ちなみに私は海パンいっちょで飛び込んで非常に寒い思いをしました。。海をなめたらあかん。)

しばらくするとあかおちゃんの「下見て、下見て」の掛け声。
言われた通り下を見るとイルカの群れを発見！！ざっと50匹ぐらいはいたのではないでしょうか。
こんなにも早く見つかるなんてラッキーでした。
その後も人懐こいイルカがほんの5m先でくるくる回りながら遊んでいたり、大変貴重な経験をさせて頂きました。

イルカ体験談はここまで。

個人的にはウミガメ観察ツアーもなかなか楽しかったです。
私はヘタってしまったため、ウミガメは見れませんでしたが巨大なエイに遭遇して並走ならぬ並泳しました。

全体的に非常にアクティブなので若い人向けの様な気がします。
あと、かなり船が揺れますので船酔いしそうな方は酔い止めを飲んでおくといいもしれません。

あかおちゃん、有難うございました。

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: わかめ

The class president was very energetic, and I had a great time on the bus without a moment to feel sleepy.

I enjoyed watching the dolphins, but I wanted to swim with them... As a diver and swimmer, I felt that the life jacket was unnecessary (>_<). Just looking down... While it might be necessary to keep everyone together and prevent chasing, the staff were all free diving... What a shame.

I wanted to eat freshly made malasadas from Leonard's since we were there.

I mentioned some downsides, but overall, I had a lot of fun throughout the half day.

I was happy that they took a lot of photos. Whether the photo data for $60 is cheap or expensive is a bit ambiguous. It's not just our photos. However, there were many pictures that we couldn't have taken ourselves, so that was a plus.

I recommend it for those who aren't very good at swimming.

テンション高い学級委員長さんで、バスの中、眠くなる暇もなくとても楽しかったです。

イルカを観れて楽しかったけど、一緒に泳ぎたかった…。ダイバー、スイマーの私としては、あの救命胴衣は不要(>_<)下見るだけって…。みんなで追いかけないためにも、まとまるためにも、必要なのかもしれませんが、スタッフの方はみんな素潜りしてて…。残念。

マラサダは、せっかくレナーズなのに、できたてを食べたかったなー。

とマイナス点を書きましたが、半日通して、楽しかった。

写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたのは嬉しかった。その写真データが60ドルは安いか高いか…微妙なところ。自分たちの写真だけではないから。でも、自分たちでは撮れない写真がいっぱいあったので◎かなー。

あまり泳げない人にはオススメ。

It was a dream-like experience. 夢のような時間でした

Reviewed by: イルカ中学生

I apologize for the late post, but I participated in the Dolphin Middle School tour in April. Last year, I joined the Dolphin University tour, which was a fulfilling experience, but this time I decided to try Dolphin Middle School based on a friend's recommendation that "the boat is thrilling and fun."

To sum it up, it was an incredibly enjoyable and satisfying time. First of all, we saw so many dolphins. By quietly approaching as instructed by the captain and never chasing them, we were able to have them come back to us multiple times. It felt unreal to actually experience "swimming with a pod of dolphins."

Additionally, I was able to see many of my favorite sea turtles. It seems that it's not common for so many to gather, but we were able to slowly observe a family of about five or six turtles, and they came right up to the surface for air, coming very close to us.

Moreover, from the boat, we were lucky enough to see an out-of-season whale and a rare seal. I believe whether you encounter dolphins, sea turtles, or whales depends on luck that day, but I highly recommend this tour. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

投稿が遅くなってしまいましたが、4月にイルカ中学のツアーに参加させていただきました。
去年はイルカ大学に参加して充実したツアーだったのですが、今回は友人から「イルカ中学のボートもスリルがあって楽しいよ」という薦めでイルカ中学に初参加してみました。
結論から言うと、とっても楽しい大満足の時間でした。
まず、イルカがとにかくたくさん見られました。
船長さんの指示どおりに静かに近づき、決して追いかけず、警戒させないようにすれば、何度も私たちのところに戻ってきてきてくれました。
こんなに「イルカの群れと一緒に泳いでいる」と実感できるなんて、現実じゃないようでした。
また、大好きなウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。
普段はこんなに集まっていることはあまりないそうですが、５～６頭の家族のようなウミガメたちをゆっくり見れて、しかも息継ぎのために海面に上がってくる度に顔のすぐ目の前に来てくれました。
その他にも、ボートの上から季節外れのクジラや、貴重なアザラシも見ることができて、とてもラッキーでした。
イルカやウミガメ、クジラに会えるかどうかはその日の運によると思いますが、とてもお勧めできるツアーです。
ハワイに行く時は必ず参加したいと思います。

Dolphin Encounter to Play with Dolphins イルカと遊ぶドルフィンエンカウンター

Reviewed by: 航ぱぱ

It felt more like just touching the dolphins rather than playing with them. Considering the cost, I think participants would be more satisfied if they had more time to interact with the dolphins. I was just observing, and my impression was, "Is this it?" My wife, who participated, mentioned that she got cold because the time spent in the water was long, but the interaction time was short.

イルカと遊ぶと言うか、触るだけという感じでした。代金から言えば、もう少しイルカと触れ合える時間を多くしていただけると参加された方々は満足すると思います。
私は、見学してましたが、これだけ？と言う感想です。
水の中に入っている時間が長く、触れ合える時間が短いため、身体が冷えたと参加した妻が言っていました。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

My First Hawaiian Adventure Underwater

Reviewed by: Will

I usually don't do reviews because there wasn't enough "wow" or it's special, but not worth my time to "write" about it: This activity is exceptionally the case for shouting about. Think about how in the world could you go underwater, be AMONG fish, not learn the intricacies of diving, not wear heavy equipment on your back (even if weight is not an issue underwater), or hold your breath for an extended period of time, and still be able to wear your personal prescription glasses. This is a great activity to partake in especially for those curious about underwater activities.
When you get underwater on these vehicles, a personal diver will be assigned to you to make certain that you're doing OK and to mitigate any problems that may arise---even if you decide to cancel the activity. The hosts were all professional and serious about instructing the group on what to expect while in the water, and I felt comfortable and appreciatead their attention to safety. We rode out to the edge of this bay in the south eastern part of Oahu and proceeded with the adventure in the BOBs plus snorkeling around the boat that brought us out there. One of the divers had a camera to take pictures while we were underwater so there will be pictorial memories to look back at and thoughts about what to do in the future to optimize my excursions beneath the ocean. This activity is great!I was underwater for the very first time in my life, and I'm back to write about how great a time I had! If diving is not for you, try this for your shorter "bucket" list!

The guide spoke in English and was very kind.

Dolphins and sea turtles. イルカ 海亀と

Reviewed by: 武田藍

I participated in Taka's tour on May 9th. It was a smooth and friendly tour.

Although I hadn't requested it, they provided a morning call, allowing me to arrive at the meeting place on time. On the way to the port by car, we had a mini sightseeing tour and listened to Taka's extensive knowledge, and before I knew it, we arrived in about 40 minutes.

Once we got on the boat, we soon encountered a pod of dolphins!!! Everyone was worried about whether they would get to see dolphins, but we were able to swim with many dolphins and had big smiles on our faces. There was even a baby dolphin. We could hear the dolphins' calls as well.

This alone was satisfying, but then we moved to a spot to see sea turtles.

We quickly found the sea turtles, and after a while, one came to the surface for air, allowing us to see it right in front of us. It was a precious experience.

We were blessed with good weather, and I’m really glad I participated.

Captain Sisters were all warm, and every participant successfully graduated from Dolphin Middle School!!

Even those who are not good at swimming received assistance, so I felt it was a tour where I could participate with peace of mind. Although it was an early morning and I was sleepy, it was a fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

I would definitely love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

5月9日タカさんのツアーに参加しました。進行がスムーズでフレンドリーなツアーでした。

お願いしていなかったのですが、モーニングコールをしてくださり時間通り集合場所へ行けました。

みんなイルカに会えるのか心配していたのですが沢山のイルカと一緒に泳げ笑顔に♪赤ちゃんイルカもいました。イルカの鳴き声も聴こえました。
これだけでも満足ですが、その後海亀のスポットへ移動。

海亀もすぐ見つかり、しばらくするとい息継ぎのために海面まで来たので目の前で見る事ができました。
貴重な体験をする事ができました。

お天気にも恵まれ参加して本当に良かったです。

私はヘタってしまったため、ウミガメは見れませんでしたが巨大なエイに遭遇して並走ならぬ並泳しました。

全体的に非常にアクティブなので若い人向けの様な気がします。
あと、かなり船が揺れますので船酔いしそうな方は酔い止めを飲んでおくといいもしれません。

あかおちゃん、有難うございました。

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）＞

Satisfaction: As expected. 満足: 期待どおり

Reviewed by: kuma_kuma

I experienced the wonderful opportunity to navigate in a submarine and observe various marine creatures and structures. The guide was also fluent in Japanese, and the explanations were enjoyable with some jokes mixed in. We participated as a family, and my grandchild was excitedly saying, "There's Nemo! Oh, a turtle!"

実際に潜水艦で航行して 海中の様々な生物や構築物を見学出来るすばらしさを体験しました。
案内役の方も日本語が上手で、ジョークを交えた説明で楽しく見学出来ました。
ファミリーで参加したのですが、孫も「ニモがいる。あ・亀だ」などと興奮していました。

First of all, the inside of the ship is too cold. It's better to bring a jacket.
Also, everything on the ship is in English only.
I was able to see a whale in the distance, but it was much farther away than I had imagined, so I could only see it briefly and it looked small.
After that, there was nothing to do but wait to return, so I spent quite a bit of time just passing the time. There was too much free time, and I wish there had been some kind of event.
I wouldn't really recommend it.

まず、船内が寒すぎ。羽織物を持参した方がよい。
また、船内は全て英語オンリーです。
遠くの方で鯨がみれましたが、想像していたのよりだいぶ離れているので小さくしかみえず一瞬でした。
後は帰るのみなので時間をかなり弄びました。フリー時間がありすぎるので何かイベント的なものがあればよいのに。。
あまりおすすめしません。

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＞

It's mysterious! The guide's safety management is also excellent! 神秘的です！ガイドさんの安全管理も素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: YUJI&RIE

On April 23, 2014, with clear skies and an early morning departure, we stayed at The Kahala Hotel & Resort, and on that day, we were picked up from our hotel. During the ride to the meeting point in Waikiki, our representative, Yuriko, shared stories about environmental protection in Hawaii and the healing power of dolphins, which made me feel very relaxed despite the early hour. When she smiled and said, "I hope you get to see many dolphins," I felt optimistic about our chances.

During the drive from Waikiki to the boarding location, our guide, Takao, explained various sightseeing spots like "The Tree of Life" and "Pearl Harbor." Although I had done snorkeling before, I was a bit anxious about going into the deep ocean for the first time. The guide thoroughly explained the safety precautions for the tour, saying, "I may have to use strict words regarding safety, but it's important that everyone experiences the tour without any accidents, so please understand." This reassured me greatly.

In April, the water temperature is still low, so as someone who gets cold easily, I borrowed a wetsuit. As the guide mentioned, it gets really cold when you’re on the boat and the wind hits you, so I think it’s especially advisable for children and women to wear one. Of course, we also wore life jackets and were fully prepared.

When we arrived at the point, we entered the water following the guide's upbeat instructions, who loudly pointed out the direction of the dolphins. When he shouted, "Look down! Look down!" and I did, I was amazed to see a pod of dolphins swimming right below us! The excitement of seeing wild dolphins up close for the first time is beyond words. The guide remarked, "It’s amazing that in such a vast ocean, they choose to swim right underneath us; dolphins are curious and come close to us... it’s truly a mystery," and it really felt mystical.

Listening closely, I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "ee-ee," and seeing them swim in the crystal-clear blue water, always together with their families, made me question, "Is this real?" Just watching them was healing for both my body and soul, and it felt like they were teaching me something important.

We were very lucky that day, encountering pods of dolphins multiple times. When we entered the water at the second point, it felt like we were surrounded by dolphins. While I was swimming away from my husband (with no one else nearby), a dolphin swam right in front of me, and our eyes met... I was so overwhelmed with joy that I shouted, "Yay!" As it swam by, about four dolphins swam together towards the ocean floor, and even now, it feels like a dream.

According to the guide, we were fortunate to encounter over 150 dolphins that day. I had heard that there are days when you might not see any dolphins due to their wild nature, so I was truly grateful and moved. After that, we moved to another point and got to see turtles and many beautiful fish, which made me very satisfied!

I brought a waterproof camera, but there was a photographer who took pictures for us, and we could purchase them, making for a wonderful keepsake. Throughout the boat ride and while swimming, the guide kept an eye on each of us, checking, "Are you okay?" which made me feel very safe.

It was a fantastic tour swimming with dolphins at a power spot, and I was particularly impressed by the guide's thorough safety management. Next time, I definitely want to experience manta ray diving on the Big Island. Thank you, Yuriko, Takao, and the captain for taking us to such great spots and providing a wonderful experience!

２０１４／４／２３晴天・早朝出発・私たちはカハラ宿泊でしたので、当日は宿泊ホテルまで迎えに来て頂きました。迎えにいらした代表yurikoさんからワイキキ集合場所までの間「ハワイでの環境保護のお話」や「イルカから与えられる癒し」のお話し頂き、早朝にも関わらずとてもリラックスした気分になりました。素敵な笑顔で「沢山のイルカに会えると良いですね」と言われると沢山会える気がしてきます。ワイキキから乗船場所までの車中はガイドのtakaoさんから「日立の木」や「パールハーバー」など観光名所も説明して頂けます。私はシュノーケルはしていましたが、沖で深い海に入ることが初めてだったので少々不安がありました。ガイドさんがツアーにおける安全面での注意事項をしっかり説明して下さり「安全に関しては私も厳しい言葉で注意してしまうかもしれませんが、何より皆さんが無事故でツアーを体験して頂ける大事なことなのでご容赦下さい」との言葉にとても安心しました。４月の海はまだ水温が低いため寒がりの私はウエットスーツを借りました。ガイドさんの説明通り海に入っている時より船に上がって風に吹かれると本当に寒くなるので特にお子さんや女性は借りた方が良いと思います。もちろんライフジャケットも着用し準備万端です。いざポイントにつくとガイドさんのテンポ良い指示で海へ入り、イルカのいる方向を大きな声で教えて頂けます。「下見て！下見て！」という声で下を見ると本当にイルカの群れが泳いでいます！初めて野生のイルカを間近で見た時の感動は言葉では言い表せません。ガイドさんが「あんなに広い海なのにどうしてわざわざ自分たちのいる真下を通って泳いで来てくれるのか、イルカも興味を持って近づいて来てくれる・・・本当に不思議です」とおっしゃってましたが、本当に神秘的です。耳を澄ますと「キューキュー」とイルカの鳴き声が・・・真っ青で透き通った海に泳ぐイルカ・・家族といつも一緒にいるイルカ・・・「現実なんだろうか」と不思議な感覚になり、見ているだけで身体も心も癒され感動しますし、大切な何かを教えてくれる気がします。この日はとてもラッキーでイルカの群れに何度も会い、２回目のポイントで海に入った時はイルカの群れに囲まれるような感じでした。私は主人と離れて泳いでいた時に（近くに誰もいなかった）目の前をイルカが横切り、イルカと目が会い・・・あまりの感激で「ぎゃ～！」と喜び叫んでしまいました。横切りながら４頭位のイルカがまとまって海の底の方に向かって泳いでいったのですが、今思い出しても夢みたいでした。この日はガイドさんいわく合計１５０頭以上のイルカと遭遇出来たラッキーな日だったとのこと。野生のため、残念ながらイルカに会えない日もあると聞いていたので本当に感謝感激でした。その後、また別のポイントへ移動し、カメと沢山の美しい魚たちに会えましたので大満足です！防水カメラを持参しましたが、カメラマンさんが同行して写真を撮って下さり、写真も購入出来たのでとても記念になりました。乗船中も、泳いでいる最中もガイドさんが一人一人に目を配り「大丈夫？」と安全確認してくださるのには本当に安心しました。パワースポットでイルカと泳ぐという素晴らしいツアーでしたし、何より安全管理をキチンとされるガイドさんに感心しました。次回はぜひハワイ島でマンタ大学も体験したいと思います。yurikoさんtakaoさん、良いポイントへ連れて行って下さった船長さん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: 都会っ子。

I participated with a friend. On the day of the event, there were various people including friends, couples, and solo travelers.

When we arrived at the port with the boat, we immediately enjoyed some malasadas. I had heard from others that they were "really delicious!" but personally, I felt that one was enough. (laughs)

After departure, we all sang a song for safety and to hope for dolphin sightings. You can rent wetsuits for an additional fee, and during my visit, almost everyone borrowed one. I went in April, and even in Hawaii's waters, it was a bit chilly, so renting one turned out to be a great decision. You can rent it on the spot for $10.

To reach the spot where we could see the dolphins well, we all sat on the edge of the boat, enjoying the marine attraction. The boat rocked a lot, which was quite thrilling.

Once we spotted dolphins, we all dove in immediately! Even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along, so there's no need to worry. The water was incredibly clear, and we could see the dolphins swimming distinctly, making it feel like we were in an aquarium. After that, we also went snorkeling and experienced many things that we couldn't have done on our own!

By the way, the boat rocks quite a bit, so if you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. However, even if you do get sick and end up vomiting, the staff will respond kindly without any unpleasant expressions, so you can feel at ease!

友達と2人で参加しました。当日は友達、カップル、ひとりの方など、さまざま方とご一緒でした。

船のある港に着くと、すぐにマラサダをいただきます。
周りから、「すごく美味しいよー！」と聞いていましたが、個人的に1回食べれば良いかんじ。笑

出航後は、安全祈願とイルカに会えますようにと、みんなで歌をうたいます。
追加料金でウエットスーツを貸し出してもらえますが、わたしの時はほぼ全員借りていました。4月に行きましたが、ハワイの海でも少し肌寒かったので結果として借りて大正解でした。その場で10ドルでかりられます。

イルカが良く見えるスポットまでは、みんなで船の縁に座り、マリンアトラクション♪船はすごく揺れるので、すごい迫力です。

イルカを発見したら、すぐにみんなでダイビング！泳げないか方でも、スタッフの方が引っ張っていってくれるので安心です。
水がすごくきれいで、イルカが泳いでいるのがはっきり見え、水族館で泳いでいる感覚になります。
その後も、シュノーケリングをしたりと、自分たちだけではできないようなことをたくさん経験させていただきました！

ちなみに、船はかなり揺れるので、酔いやすい方は酔いどめ必須です。
でも、酔ってリバースしてしまっても、スタッフの方はいやな顔ひとつせず優しく対応して下さりますので、安心して下さいね！

I was healed by the dolphins! ♪ イルカに癒されました♪

Reviewed by: Nシスターズ

I participated with my sister.

Although we had an early morning gathering, the president of the Dolphin Junior High School cheered up the participants, who were still waking up and feeling low-energy. From the car windows, we were able to see "This Tree, What Tree," Pearl Harbor, and the Disney Hotel, which gave us a bit of a sightseeing experience.

I was a bit anxious after hearing that there were two days the previous week when we couldn't see dolphins, but after about 10 minutes of departing from the port, we dove right into the sea! When the captain shouted, "Look down!!" I desperately peered into the water, and there they were—the dolphins I had longed to see! Not only did I get to see them, but I was truly moved to hear their "kyu-kyu" sounds.

After that, we moved to a tropical fish and honu spot. When we had food, aggressive tropical fish swarmed around us (laughs). We also managed to meet a honu that was napping.

Originally, this was supposed to be the end, but because we found the dolphins early, we were given a special second dolphin dive! We were able to see an even larger group of dolphins than the first time, which was incredibly exciting!

Actually, my sister had been feeling a bit unwell since the morning, but she completely recovered without realizing it. It seemed like the dolphins had healed her.

Thank you to everyone at Dolphin Junior High for the fun lesson! ^^

姉妹で参加させていただきました。

早朝の集合でしたが、
車内では寝起きでテンション低めの参加者達をイルカ中学会長さんが盛り上げてくださり、
車窓からは「この木なんの木」やパールハーバー、ディズニーホテルなどを見ることできて
ちょっとした観光気分を味わうことができました。

前週に２日イルカに会えない日があったと聞いて若干不安でしたが、
港を出発して10分程ですぐに海へダイブ！
船長さんの「シタヲミテー！！」の言葉で必死に海中を覗くと、
念願のイルカが！！
姿を見ることができたのはもちろんのこと、
「キューキュー」という鳴き声を聞くことができたのには本当に感動しました。

その後は熱帯魚＆ホヌスポットへ移動。
餌を持っていると、わらわらと群がってくるアグレッシブな熱帯魚たち(笑)
お昼寝中だったホヌにも何とか会うことができました。

本来はこれで終了らしいのですが、
イルカの発見が早かったからとのことで、
特別に2回目のイルカダイブ！
1回目よりもさらに大群のイルカ達を見ることができて大感動！！

実は朝から若干体調が悪かった妹ですが、
知らぬ間にすっかり回復。
イルカ達に癒されたようでした。

イルカ中学のみなさん、楽しい授業をありがとうございました^^

The best! ☆ 最高〜☆

Reviewed by: kazu

Although the morning was early, I had the chance to see dolphins twice and was thrilled right away. During free time, I was lucky to swim with sea turtles as well. I actually didn't have high expectations for the hula, but I ended up participating enthusiastically with flower decorations and a pareo (sarong) at the end (laughs). It was fun all the way to the end!

The staff were all kind and helped create a lively atmosphere, allowing us to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. Now that I'm back home, I'm still enjoying the memories while looking at the pictures I purchased. This became my best memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

朝は早かったもののイルカは2度も見に行く機会をもらってたっぷり見られて早々に大興奮。フリータイムではウミガメとも一緒に泳げてラッキーでした。実はあまり期待してなかったフラも花飾りやパレオをつけて最後はノリノリで参加（笑）最後まで楽しかった！
スタッフさんも皆親切で盛り上げてくれ、ハワイ感を十分味合わせてくれました。帰ってきて購入した画像を見ながら、まだ楽しみに浸っています。ハワイで1番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！
