イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

I got to meet a dolphin! イルカに会えました!

Reviewed by: ゆりぶー

Initially, we had signed up for a different tour, but we changed to this one at my husband's request to try kayaking. Since this was our first time on this type of tour, I can't make comparisons, but in the end, we were extremely satisfied!

We were part of the early morning group, so I started with worries about whether I could wake up and if I would be physically okay for snorkeling after ten years (I used to love it when I was younger). However, there was a morning call, and once we participated, everything turned out fine! We had three chances to encounter wild dolphins, and during one of those, we got really close. Unfortunately, we could only see sea turtles from the boat, but some people were able to swim right next to them.

The staff were all cheerful and kind, and they were very supportive of the children who couldn't get in the water. My child was thrilled to feed tropical fish and to see dolphins and sea turtles from the boat. They said they want to swim with them next time, so they plan to practice swimming and join again. When we go to Hawaii next time, we definitely want to "enroll" in this experience!

*If you have your own snorkeling set, I recommend bringing it. It's easier to adjust the size. Larger fins are also better. The rental gear is small, so it can be difficult for those who lack strength to move forward.
*If you're not confident in your swimming, make sure to communicate that and swim close to the lead staff. That way, you're more likely to see dolphins.
*Please avoid splashing around in the water! I wish there had been a more thorough briefing about this on the boat.

Next time, I definitely want to get close to the turtles!

最初は違うツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、カヤックが
やってみたいという夫のリクエストでこちらへ変更。
この手のツアーは初めてなので比較はできませんが、結果的に大大満足でよかったです!

早朝グループだったので、起きられるのかどうかという不安から始まり、10年ぶりのシュノーケリングが体力的に大丈夫なのかなど心配事ばかりでした。(若いころは好きでよくやってたんですけどね)
でも、朝はモーニングコールもありますし、いざ参加しちゃえばなんとかなります、なりました!
野生のイルカとエンカウントのチャンスは3回あり、そのうちの1回ですぐ近くまで行けました。あいにく海亀は船上から見るだけでしたが、すぐそばに行って泳げた方もいました。
スタッフは皆さん明るく優しく、海に入れなかった子どもへのフォローも温かでした。子どもは熱帯魚にパンをあげられたこと、舟の上からイルカと海亀に会えたことがとても嬉しかったそうです。今度は海の中で一緒に泳ぎたい、だから泳ぎを頑張って、また参加したいとのことです。
次にハワイに行くときは、ぜひ『学士入学』したいです。

※もしもご自分のシュノーケルセットを持っているなら、それを持っていくことをオススメします。サイズ調整とかやっぱり楽なので。フィンも大きいほうがいいです。レンタルギアは小型なので、力のない方は進みにくいです。
※泳ぎに自信がない方は、ちゃんとアピールして先頭スタッフの近くで泳ぎましょう。そのほうがイルカに会いやすいです。
※バチャバチャと水面をたたいて泳ぐのは絶対やめて~~!!お願い!!! このことは、船上でもっとしっかりレクチャーをしておいていただけたらありがたかったな。

次は絶対亀さんの近くに行きたいです。

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

SHARK!!!!!!

Reviewed by: George

Didn't know what to expect, but knew what we wanted to see......SHARKS!!!!

And we saw at least 15 swimming around us. For those who didn't get in the water (like my wife), the guys running the boat did what they could to get the sharks to the top so they could see them, too. Nice that they thought not to leave those folks out of the adventure.

But the big thrill is being in the cage with all of those sharks all around you. We got terrific pictures with just the sharks and with us in the foreground and them in the back.

Great trip. We recommend it. P.S. take the early trips as the afternoons can get rough on the ocean.

Family trip with three generations. 3世代家族旅行で

Reviewed by: だいすけ

We participated in an activity that could be enjoyed by three generations, including my parents and children, totaling eight people. We joined the first Japanese-guided tour of the day. Although our guide was not Japanese, they entertained us with fluent language skills. We were lucky enough to see sea turtles swimming, which was wonderful. My 65-year-old grandfather was also very excited to see the turtles. Since we had to move by boat before and after boarding the submarine, it's essential to bring motion sickness medication. Don't worry, there are etiquette bags available in case you feel unwell on the submarine.

3世代で楽しめるアクティビティはないかと、両親、子供を含め8人で参加しました。
朝一番の日本語ガイドのツアーに参加。
ガイドさんは日本人ではないのですが、流暢な言葉使いで楽しませてくれます。私たちはラッキーなことに海ガメが泳いでいるところをみることが出来て良かったです。
65歳のおじいちゃんもカメの泳ぐ姿を見て大興奮でした。
潜水艦に乗り込む前後は船で移動となるので、酔い止めの薬は必携。万一潜水艦で気分が悪くなってもエチケット袋はあるのでご安心を。

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

Uncomfortable ride!!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Positives of this tour are it's location right outside the Outrigger Reef, the water was warm and saw quite a few turtles dolphins and fish, and overall good value for money.
The staff were just ok, nothing special. No commentary on anything except a few minutes on the rules and how to snorkel. The big negative for us was how uncomfortable the ride was on the catamaran for almost the entire time on the boat. We wanted to sit on the bench seats provided, but was told we would have to all sit on or around the netting area to help balance the boat. For my wife and I this became extremely uncomfortable after a short while, with no cushions or anything like that provided to make it somewhat comfortable. It ruined the cruise for us. Next time we will book a tour on a bigger boat that provides seating for it's guests.

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: kiemam

I participated at my son's request. I was worried about seasickness, but it was not a problem at all. There weren't many fish to see, but the kids were surprised to see the sunken airplane. It can be a bit cold inside the ship, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket. Also, when getting on and off the submarine, you need to use a ladder for a few meters. It might be better to avoid wearing a mini skirt or a maxi skirt.

息子の希望で参加しました。船酔いが心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。見られる魚はそれ程多くはありませんでしたが、子供たちは沈んだ飛行機などを見てビックリしてました。艦内は少し寒いので上着を持って行った方がいいかも。あと、せんすいかに乗り込む時と出る時に数メートルはしごを使います。ミニスカートもしくはマキシ丈スカートはやめた方がいいかな。

This is my second time on the Body Glove snorkeling tour this year. Last year was so great that I decided to repeat it. This year, my 7-year-old and 5-year-old kids were extremely satisfied. They enjoyed not only snorkeling but also the slide and jumping in. The parents enjoyed a BBQ on the boat, and we definitely ate too much. We got to see dolphins both on the way to and from the snorkeling point, which was just amazing! It was really wonderful. We'll be going again next year.

To the best memories. 最高の思い出に

Reviewed by: りゅうりん

We had booked a shuttle service, but there was a little mishap... Our family of four was left behind... We contacted the hotel staff, and in the end, we took a taxi to the location. The taxi fare was supposed to be covered by the company, but since it was discussed over the phone, I wasn't entirely sure about it, so I paid upfront. Later, when I followed up through this service, I found that the amount was properly refunded to my credit card. I truly realized that this is a trustworthy company.

As for the activities, we signed up for them with our two children, aged 4 and 1. My 4-year-old son signed up for an activity to swim with dolphins and rays, but it seemed a bit too early for him, and he cried a little... However, both my son and my 1-year-old daughter were thrilled to interact with the dolphins, and they even got to shake hands and kiss them, which was a bit surprising! We also got some commemorative photos taken, and we were very satisfied. My 4-year-old son keeps saying, "The dolphins were so cute. It was so much fun," even after returning home.

Both the kids and adults had a great time and felt truly rejuvenated; it was a wonderful trip. I definitely want to participate again next year. Thank you very much!

送迎付きを申し込んでいたのですがちょっとしたハプニングが・・・。私たち家族4人が置いていかれてしまい・・・。ホテルの人に連絡をとっていただき結局はタクシーで現地に向かいました。タクシー代は会社側が支払っていただけることになっていましたが、電話での話だったのでいまいち信用はしていなかったのですがとりあえず立て替えということで支払いをしました。後日こちらを通して連絡したところきちんとクレジットカードに送金されていました。信頼おける会社だと改めて実感しました。

アクティビティの内容ですが4歳1歳の子供と四人で申し込みました。4歳息子はイルカに加えエイと泳ぐアクティビティも申し込みましたが4歳にはまだ早すぎたようで少し泣いていました・・・。
が、イルカは4歳息子はもちろん1歳娘も大喜びで、ちょっとびっくりながらもイルカと握手&キスを!
記念の写真も撮ってもらい大満足でした。
4歳息子は帰国後も「イルカさん可愛かったねぇ。たのしかったねぇ」の連続です。
子供はもちろん大人も楽しくすごく癒され本当にいい旅になりました。来年も是非参加したいとおもいます。ありがとうございました。

Is this an aquarium? これは水族館?

Reviewed by: アメリカンヒロ

There is a novelty in being able to ride a submarine. However, it feels more like peering into an aquarium tank. I was happy to see two sea turtles, but at Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium, you can see sea turtles up close.
In conclusion, if you want to see marine life, you should go to an aquarium. Only those who want to experience riding a submarine should participate in this tour. Otherwise, I think marine life enthusiasts will be disappointed.

潜水艦に乗れるという物珍しさはあります。しかし、感覚としては水族館の水槽を覗いているといった感じです。海亀を2匹も見れたのは嬉しかったですが、沖縄の美ら海水族館の方がもっと間近に海亀を見れます。
結論としては、海の生き物を見たければ水族館に行きましょう。一度潜水艦に乗ってみたい人だけがこのツアーに参加しましょう。でないと、海の生き物好きはガッカリすると思います。

I went on a trip to Hawaii from July 12 to July 17. One of the main events was participating in a snorkeling tour with dolphins. The pickup was at 5:50 AM, which was tough, but I was very satisfied as I got to see a pod of dolphins. While they weren't right in front of me, I was still quite pleased. The hula experience was also enjoyable and satisfying.

The sub was great, the staff were great. Bookings.com suck. They reserved us on a Japanese only tour. We could have changed but it would have been the next day. Took the verbal portion away. we had headphones that would explain it in english but not so good with the main staff speaking to the group in Japanese. I have a 5 and 8 year old so it made it more difficult for them. Make sure you confirm what the booked you for !!

It was great! よかったよ!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in Dolphin Adventure with my two daughters, while my wife observed. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member explained the overall flow of the experience. The instructors for the program were all foreigners and did not speak Japanese, but since the Japanese staff provided a thorough explanation beforehand, there were no issues. As long as you understand some basic words, you'll be fine.

Both my daughter and I were very satisfied with the experience, which is something you can't do in Japan. The photos of my daughters turned out with the best smiles. However, the distance while swimming with the dolphins was about 3 to 4 meters, and it only lasted a few seconds. The cost performance is questionable.

Also, observers can participate in the activities and take photos, but they can't get too close. Lunch is also affordable, costing around $10 per person.

ドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加してきました。
娘2人と私が参加、嫁さんは見学です。
着いてからは日本人?のスタッフが全体の流れを説明してくれました、体験プログラムでのインストラクターは外人のみで日本語はNGでしたが先に日本人スタッフがしっかりと説明してくれていたので問題なしです、簡単な単語が分かれば何とかなります。

日本では体験出来ないような内容に娘も私も大満足。
出来上がった写真の娘たちは最高の笑顔です。
でもイルカと一緒に泳ぐ距離は3~4m位、数秒で終りでした。
コストパフォーマンスは???

あと、見学者も一緒に行動出来るし、写真もとれますよ。でも近くまでは行けないけどね。
お昼ごはんは1人$10もあればOKです。

A moment of emotion lingers on forever. 一瞬の感動がずっと残る。

Reviewed by: icecreamhotcream

This was my first trip to Hawaii since elementary school, and I thought, "I definitely want to swim with dolphins," so I decided to participate.

We gathered at a little after 6 AM, which made for an early wake-up call, but since we were able to make good use of our time after returning to Honolulu in the afternoon, I think it turned out well.

First, we went to Leonard's Bakery to eat malasadas. The warm malasadas were very delicious. They were like a donut without the filling.

I felt a bit seasick while heading out on the boat, but I was able to encounter dolphins safely. I was hoping to swim with them for a while, but wild dolphins move very quickly, and it felt like just a brief moment.

After arriving at the offshore point, it took some time to spot the dolphins, so we had to wait on the boat for a long time, which was tough on my seasick body.

I think it's best to bring motion sickness medication if you can!

After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was really surprised to be able to swim so close to them and realized they weren't afraid of humans at all.

Although my encounter with the dolphins felt like just a fleeting moment, I was truly satisfied to swim with many dolphins and baby dolphins.

As others have mentioned in their reviews, the local staff were very cheerful and bright, and they had plenty of activities to entertain the participants, which really lifted my spirits.

I highly recommend this tour!

 
 小学生の時以来のハワイ旅行で、「ぜひイルカと泳いでみたいな。」と思い参加しました。

 朝は、6時すぎに集合するので、早起きはちょっと大変でしたが、午後ホノルルに戻ってからも時間が有効に使えたので、結果的には良かったかなと思います。

 まずは、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダを食べにお店に行きます。あたたかいマラサダはとても美味しかったです。
 あんドーナツの餡が入っていないようなものでした。

 船で沖に向かうのに若干船酔いをしてしまいましたが、イルカには無事に出遭うことができました。
「しばらく一緒に泳げるのかな」と期待していたのですが、自然のイルカは動きがとても速く、ほんの一瞬のことだったように思います。
 
 沖のポイントに着いてからも、イルカを探し当てるのに時間がかかるため、船上での待機の時間が長く、船酔い気味の体には堪えました。

 できたら酔い止めを持参した方が良いと思います!

 その後、ウミガメにも出遭えました。
 本当にそばで泳ぐことができ、「人間を恐れていないんだなー」とビックリしました。

 イルカとの出会いはほんの一瞬の出来事だったように思いますが、沢山のイルカと赤ちゃんイルカと泳ぐことができ、本当に大満足です。

 他の口コミで皆さん書かれているように、現地のスタッフの方もとても陽気で明るく、参加者を楽しませる企画が盛りだくさんで、元気をもらうことができました。

 オススメのツアーです!

Although we could see dolphins from the boat, they didn't appear much during snorkeling, which made me feel that swimming with wild dolphins really depends on luck. Since it was summer vacation, there were more than 30 participants. I thought it was a bit too crowded. As for those who are prone to seasickness, including myself, it seemed that no one got seasick even on a fairly rocky boat, possibly because they had taken medication.

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii with a friend. I was really moved! I was worried because they mentioned beforehand that we might not see any wild dolphins, but I was able to meet more dolphins than I expected. It was such a great experience to swim so close to wild dolphins and turtles. My dream came true, and I was very satisfied. I could see the dolphins jumping up close, and I swam so near to the turtles that I was worried I might touch them.

The tropical fish were also very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was lovely to release plumeria flowers into the sea from the boat while making a wish.

Leonard's malasadas and the cheeseburger I had on the boat were both delicious, and the staff were cheerful and fun. The ukulele and hula were great too. The scenery was wonderful, and I felt like I received a lot of positive energy.

It was tough to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it to join this tour. It became my most enjoyable memory of this trip to Hawaii.

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so very much!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined my friends. Waking up early was a bit challenging, but it was definitely worth it!

The first stop was Leonard's for malasadas, and even though it was early in the morning, there was a line, so it was clear it was a popular spot. The taste was, of course, delicious.

I heard on the bus to the harbor that we might not see wild dolphins, which made me a little anxious...

After arriving at the harbor, we boarded the boat and had a romantic experience of releasing a song and plumeria flowers into the sea to wish for a safe journey. It took about 30 minutes to reach the area where the dolphins were. (Make sure to take motion sickness medication.)

I was surprised that the captain and guide could tell where the dolphins were just by looking at the surface of the water.

We decided on a spot and headed into the sea! The water was, of course, beautiful! (It was the best sea I visited during my stay in Hawaii!) When the guide signaled, I peered into the seabed and was able to see many dolphins. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a dolphin swimming towards the surface, so I quickly waited at the surface and was able to see a dolphin jump up close. I was so excited that not only did I see the dolphins, but I also got to swim very close to a sea turtle, worrying that I might touch it!

We moved to another location where I could snorkel with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos as memories.

After snorkeling, the snacks, cheeseburgers, and juice we had on the boat were exceptional. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed the guide's ukulele performance, live singing, and learned hula dancing, which made for a fun time.

One disappointing thing was that we couldn't kayak or stand-up paddle due to strong winds. Considering safety, it was understandable, so I look forward to trying it next time.

This trip became my most enjoyable memory during my stay in Hawaii. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

Thank you so much to the captain and guide!

初めてのハワイ旅行、友人と参加しました。朝早いのは少し大変でしたが、早起きして絶対損はありません!!
まずはじめに立ち寄ったレナーズのマラサダは早朝にも関わらず行列ができていたので人気店なのはすぐにわかりました。味はもちろんおいしかったです。

港に着くまでのバスの中で野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると聞いたので少し不安になりましが・・・。

港到着後船に乗り込み、旅の安全を願ってうたとプルメイヤの花を海へ流すというロマンチックな体験もできました。約30分でイルカ先生たちのいる場所へ。(酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方がいいです。)

船長さん、ガイドさんは水面を見ているだけでイルカのいる場所がわかるのにはびっくりしました。

スポットを決めいざ海へ!!海はもちろん綺麗です!(ハワイ滞在中の行った海で一番!!)ガイドさんの合図で海底を覗くとたくさんのイルカ先生たちに会うことができました。シュノーケルを楽しんでいるとイルカ先生が海面に向かって泳いでいるのを発見したのですぐに海面で待っているとドルフィンジャンプをまじかで見ることができ、興奮していると、イルカ先生だけではなくウミガメ先生を海面から顔を出してくれ触ってしまうのではと、心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

別の場所へ移動をし、綺麗な熱帯魚とウミガメ先生とシュノーケルができ、たくさんの写真を思い出に残すことができました。

シュノーケルが終わり、船で食べたスナック・チーズバーガー・ジュースは格別の味でした。港に帰る間はガイドさんたちのウクレレの演奏・生歌・フラダンスを教えていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。

一つ残念だったことは、カヤック・スタンドアは風が強くてできなかったことです。安全面を考えたら仕方のないことですので、次回の楽しみにします。

今回ハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。次にハワイに行くときも必ず参加します。

船長さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

Adults and children... 大人も子どもも…

Reviewed by: uka

I experienced a dolphin encounter on my first trip to Hawaii.

**What to Wear and Bring:**
- Swimsuit (I wore it from the hotel. There are few changing rooms and not much time, so it's definitely better to wear it from the hotel.)
- Beach sandals (I wore these too.)
- Bath towel (Purchased at an ABC Store in Hawaii)
- Sunscreen (You can get quite sunburned)
- Lightweight hoodie (For wind and sun protection)
- Digital camera
- Reservation confirmation
- Underwear (Since I went in a swimsuit, don't forget!)
- Money (I brought about $80 per person)

I participated in a package with hotel pickup for the 9:30 AM program. I got on the shuttle bus at 8:30 and arrived at the park around 9:20. I hurriedly signed the consent form and changed clothes. The coin locker for valuables costs $3, and one is enough for a family. You can take non-valuable items to the poolside.

The program lasts about 30 minutes. Our group was all Japanese. The instructor was also Japanese. There were participants ranging from a one-year-old child to a grandfather in his 70s. The dolphin, Kekaimaru, is a half-dolphin, half-whale. It had very gentle eyes and was adorable. We kissed and danced with it. The performance right in front of us was very satisfying. Even the little kids, held by their parents, were a bit nervous but enjoyed interacting with Kekaimaru.

After the program, we had free time until the return bus. The park itself is small, so you can finish exploring it quickly. The dolphin show is wonderful, so be sure to see it. You can really feel the trust between the instructor and the dolphins, which is lovely.

After the show, we had a meal at the park's restaurant. It's self-service. I had the kalua pork (steamed pork) from the plate lunch options. If you're a light eater, one dish is enough for two people. The taste is decent, about the same level as meals at Japanese theme parks.

Also, the program photos are three for $40. You can buy them individually, but they are really well taken, so you'll probably want all three (laughs).

I was moved by the adorable sight of the large dolphins right in front of me. It's enjoyable for everyone from small children to grandparents. I highly recommend it!

初ハワイでドルフィンエンカウンターを体験しました。

当日の服装&持ち物
・水着(ホテルから着て行きました。更衣室も少ないし、時間もないのでホテルで着て行った方が絶対いいです。)
・ビーチサンダル(これも履いて行きました。)
・バスタオル(ハワイのABCストアで購入)
・日焼け止め(かなり焼けます)
・薄手のパーカー(風よけ、日よけに)
・デジカメ
・予約表
・下着(水着で行くので、忘れないように!)
・お金(一人80ドルくらい持って行きました)

ホテルからの送迎付きパッケージで朝一9:30のプログラムに参加。
8:30にホテルから迎えのバスに乗り、パークに着いたのが9:20くらい。慌ただしく同意書を書いて、着替えます。
貴重品のコインロッカーは3ドル。家族でひとつで十分。
貴重品以外のものはプールサイドまで持っていけます。

プログラムは30分程度。わたしたちのグループは日本人のみ。
インストラクターさんもの日本の方でした。
1歳くらいの子どもから、70代のおじいちゃんまでいました。
イルカとクジラのハーフというケカイマル。
とっても優しい瞳で、かわいかったです。
キスしたり、ダンスしたり。目の前でパフォーマンスしてくれて大満足。小さな子どもたちもお父さんお母さんに抱っこされて、ちょっぴりドキドキしながらもケカイマルちゃんとふれあっていました。

プログラム後は帰りのバスまで自由行動。
園自体は小さいのですぐに見終わります。
イルカショーは素晴らしいのでぜひ見てください。
とにかくインストラクターのお姉さんとイルカたちがお互いに信頼している様子が伝わってきて、素敵です。

ショーの後に園内のレストランで食事。セルフサービスです。
プレートランチの中からカルアポーク(蒸し豚)を食べました。
少食の方なら2人で1つでOK。味はまぁまぁそれなり。
日本のテーマパークの食事と同レベルです。

あとプログラムの写真が3枚40ドル。
1枚から変えますが、すごくよく撮れているのできっと3枚とも欲しくなります(笑)


目の前で大きなイルカたちがかわいい姿を見せてくれて感動。
小さな子どもからおじいちゃんおばあちゃんまで楽しめます。
おすすめですよー!!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

family experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We made this a family affair. My two kids, 16 & 6 enjoyed the sharks. The water was rough and it was very hard to hold onto the cage. I had to hold my 6yr old, he was not strong enough to hold on himself and the waves knocked him around. That said he loved it. My 16 yr old had no problems and tooks some great pics with the underwater camera. The sharks came right up to the cage and they looked them eye to eye. I tend to get sea sick so I wore a sea sick patch, which unfortuntly was not enough. The worst part was sitting in the boat while the other group was in the cage. Everyone agreed that they would do it again, but compared to some of the other tours we did, this one seemed a little pricy. We were only out for about 1.5 hours with about 15 - 20 minutes in the cage, which was just right but per minute - expensive!

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Well worth it

Reviewed by: Lianne from NZ

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

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

Great Adventure!

Reviewed by: Rwillwin

The sea was angry that day, but the crazy eight crew pulled through! I have always wanted to swim with sharks and am so glad we were able to fit this in during wedding week. Despite the windy rough weather, the crew felt comfortable going forward with the adventure after deeming the conditions safe enough. They were very professional and provided great customer service and were very open in providing information. The water and cage were the most comfortable place to be on our adventure and the sharks provided a great show. The view was spectacular and we all survived. I would definitely do this again and recommend this to anyone considering this activity. Thank you Hawaiiactivities and Jessica for helping us decide on this adventure. Great job by all!

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

The most recommended option tour. オプションツアーで1番オススメ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my first trip to Hawaii. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I hadn't made any specific plans, so I signed up for this tour. In the morning, we had malasadas for breakfast. I was very satisfied to be able to go to a store that was difficult to reach on foot. After boarding the boat, we all offered a prayer for Hawaii, and my spirits were lifted. I instantly felt the Hawaiian vibe. After that, we encountered dolphins and turtles one after another. It was amazing to not only see them but also to snorkel with them; it felt like a double treat. My companions also seemed very happy. I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding, which made me feel even more liberated. The cheeseburgers on the boat were homemade and very satisfying. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was smiling and having fun. I was very pleased with the staff's brightness and the way they incorporated music at key moments, which gradually got us more engaged despite our initial shyness. I highly recommend this tour!

初めてのハワイ旅行。漠然とやりたいことは、イメージしてましたが具体的には決めいなかった所、このツアーに申し込みました。朝は、マラサダで朝食。歩いてはいきづらい距離の店舗にいけて大満足。また、船に乗船後、まずはハワイの祈りを全員でささげ気持ちは高ぶるばかり。一気にハワイ気分に。その後、ドルフィン・タートルと立て続けに遭遇。見るだけではなく、一緒にシュノーケリングできるなんて、二度おいしいってかんじでした。同行者も幸せそうでしたよ。また、体験してみたかったスタンダップパドルにも挑戦。新しいことをしたことで更に開放的にななりましたよ。船上でのチーズバーガーも手作り感満載で満足です。最後は、全員でフラダンス。気持ちも盛り上がって、みんな笑顔で楽しかったです。スタッフの皆さんの明るさと要所要所に音楽をいれてくれて、遠慮がちな私たちもじょじょに盛り上がってくる演出に大満足です。オススメのツアーですよ。

Recently, my family of three participated in this experience. My daughter is six years old and in her last year of kindergarten.

I was worried about whether my daughter would be able to swim with the dolphins, but the Hawaiian staff member stayed by her side the whole time and helped her swim with the dolphins. My worries disappeared, and we were able to participate with peace of mind. I hope my comment can help those who are considering participating with their children.

From the moment we saw the dolphins, our excitement skyrocketed! Many dolphins swam back and forth, and they came so close to us. It was incredibly healing. It was the best experience. I highly recommend it!

先日、家族3人で参加させていただきました。
娘は6歳で幼稚園の年長です。

娘がイルカと泳げるのか不安でしたが、ハワイアンスタッフの御兄さんが付きっきりで一緒に泳いでくださり、娘もイルカと泳ぐことができました。不安も吹き飛び、安心して参加することができました。子供との参加を迷ってる方のお役にたてればと思いコメントしました。


イルカを見た瞬間からテンションアップ↑↑
沢山のイルカが何度も往復してくれて、すごく近くで泳いでくれました。とても癒されました。最高です。お勧めです♪

It's a program where you can play with dolphins. It's wonderful that children from the age of one can participate. There were also Japanese instructors available who provided support in Japanese.

You can purchase photos for $16 each, but that is a bit expensive.

This is my second time participating; I'm a repeat visitor. 二回目の参加、リピーターです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Continuing from last year, I traveled to Hawaii again this year. My friend and I agreed to join this tour once more.

The reason is that my friend had experienced seasickness during last year's trip and is participating again for a revenge tour. I didn't have that issue, but the content was so appealing that I definitely wanted to join again.

I'm really glad I participated again! I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close while snorkeling, and the excitement is beyond words. It's a moment that completely blows away the stress of Japanese society (laughs). This time, I was able to swim even closer to the dolphins than last year. The staff's consideration to ensure we didn't miss seeing the dolphins was also evident.

We changed locations and headed to an area with tropical fish. We received bread to take with us into the sea. When we threw the bread, an incredible number of tropical fish gathered around us. It was another amazing experience. There were also plenty of activities like kayaking.

There were families with children on the same tour. The staff stayed close to the children in the water, and I happened to be floating nearby, so I could see that they were well taken care of, allowing both the kids to enjoy themselves and the parents to feel at ease.

Overall, I was very satisfied to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish up close, and it was a great tour where the staff's consideration for this experience was clear.

I want to participate again!

昨年に引き続き今年もハワイへの旅行。今年もこのツアーに参加しようと、一緒に行った友人とは合致の意見でした(^^)

とゆうのも実は、友人は昨年参加した際船酔いになってしまい今回はリベンジの参加。私はそうではなかったですが、また是非参加したいと思える内容であったからです。

やはり、また参加して良かった!!
シュノーケリングであんなに間近にイルカや海亀を見ることができて、あの感動は言葉では伝えきれません。
日本のストレス社会を一気に吹き飛ばせる瞬間です(笑)
イルカは昨年以上に間近で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私達がイルカ達を見逃さないよう、スタッフの方の配慮も伝わってきます。
ポイントを変えて、今度は熱帯魚のいるエリアへ。パンを貰えるのでそれを手に海へ。パンを撒くとものすごい量の熱帯魚が寄ってきます。これまた感激です。
カヤックなどの遊びも充実してます。

同じツアーに子供連れの方も参加してました。海の中でもスタッフの方が子供に付いていて、たまたま私はその近くを浮かんでいたのですが、子供への配慮もきちんとされているので子供も楽しめるし親も安心ですね。

とにかく満足にイルカ、亀、熱帯魚を間近で見ることができて、またそうできるようにスタッフの方の配慮が伝わってくる良いツアーです。

また参加したいです。
