I am deeply moved! 感激！

Reviewed by: hide＆ai

I participated on June 1st. I was super excited when I encountered a pod of over 20 dolphins at the sacred site of Makua! Swimming with the dolphins was the best memory of this trip to Hawaii. If I had one request, it would be that I wanted to swim with the dolphins more without moving to the turtle point! Class representative Ryuichi was also great at getting everyone excited, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

６月１日に参加しました。20匹以上のイルカの群れと聖地マクアで遭遇したときは超興奮しました！海に入ってイルカと泳げた事は今回のハワイの旅で最高の思い出となりました。１つだけリクエストがあるとすれば、亀のポイントに移動しないでイルカともっと泳ぎたかった！学級委員の龍一さんも盛り上げ上手で大変楽しむ事ができました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in Dolphin Adventure. It was a great experience as I swam with dolphins for the first time! Since it was a weekday, the park was very quiet, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing day. The dolphin and seal shows were also a lot of fun. The scenery from the park, surrounded by mountains and the sea, was soothing.

ドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。
初めてイルカにつかまって泳いだのでとても良い体験ができました！平日だったので、園内はとても空いてて、のんびりした一日を過ごすことができました。イルカやアザラシのショーもとても楽しかったです。
園内からみる風景も（山と海）自然に囲まれてて癒されました。

I had a great time. とっても楽しかったです

Reviewed by: nor

It seems we were able to locate the dolphins from the moving bus, and I was very satisfied to swim with them right after getting on the boat. However, my partner had a defect in the snorkel, and the mask was leaking, so they couldn't see the dolphins very well. By the time we got a replacement, the dolphins had already left. I would appreciate it if someone could check if there are any issues with the mask when we first enter the water, like asking, "Is there anything wrong with your mask?" Alternatively, having a brief practice session would help avoid such issues. Also, we brought a disposable underwater camera, but since it was cloudy, we didn't get any good photos, so I wish I had bought the CD that was for sale after the tour. Renting the wetsuit for ten dollars was a good decision.

移動のバスからイルカさんの位置がわかったようで、ボートにのってすぐイルカさんと泳ぐことができ大満足でした。ただ、相方はシュノーケルに欠陥があってマスクが水漏れしてイルカさんをあまりよくみることができませんでした。交換してもらったときはすでにイルカさん達は行ってしまっていました。船から海に入ったときに、まず「マスクに異常ありませんか？」などと声をかけてもらえると嬉しいです。もしくは軽い練習時間があるとこんなことがなくていいですよね。また、わたしたちは使い捨ての水中カメラを持っていったのですが、曇り空でいい写真がとれていなかったので、ツアー後に販売していたCDを買えばよかったな、って思いました。ウェットスーツは１０ドルで借りましたが正解でした。

Wild dolphins are the best!! 野生のイルカは最高！！

Reviewed by: ともたん

We participated as a couple with our 5-year-old and 3-year-old. I was worried if the kids would enjoy it, but they had a great time. I wondered if we would really get to see dolphins, but we encountered many dolphins and it was very healing. The kids couldn't swim with the dolphins, but they were able to see them well from the boat. I wished to see wild dolphins rather than trained ones, and that wish came true, which was wonderful. We definitely want to participate again next time!!!

５歳、３歳、夫婦で参加しました。子供が楽しめるか不安でしたが十分楽しめました。本当にイルカに会えるのか・・・とも思いましたがたくさんのイルカに会え、とても癒されました。子供達はさすがにイルカと泳ぐ事は出来ませんでしたが船の上から十分に見れました。飼いならされたイルカよりも野生のイルカを・・・という願いが叶い、とても良かったです。次回も是非、参加させて頂きます！！！

Suddenly, rain in the early afternoon on the day of the cruise...

There were plenty of clouds in the sky until we boarded the cruise...

I was starting to give up on seeing the sunset.

However,

Looking towards where the sun sets, the clouds were just barely clearing. With a glimmer of hope, I went up to the top deck of the boat, and there it was—the sunset!!

It was a fitting event to cap off our honeymoon.

当日のお昼過ぎに突然の雨･･･

クルーズに乗るまで上空は雲がたっぷり･･･

サンセットはダメかなと諦めていました。

が、

日が落ちる先を見ると、ギリギリ雲が消えている。もしやと期待をして船の屋上に上ると、まさにサンセット!!

ハネムーンでの締めにふさわしいイベントでした。

Play with dolphins. イルカと遊ぶ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in this activity with the desire to "swim with dolphins." In reality, it's more accurate to say that it's about interacting with them rather than swimming together. However, I had never seen dolphins up close like this before, so it was a lot of fun. I am very satisfied. On hot days, a sun hat and sunscreen are essential.

「イルカと泳ぎたい」という要望の元、このアクティビティに参加しました。内容の実際は、一緒に泳ぐというよりもふれあうという言い方のほうがいいですね。でも、こんなに近くでイルカを見たことがなかったので、とても楽しかったです。大満足です。
暑い日は日よけの帽子や日焼け止めは必須です。

This is the next comment from Akkaemama~~~!!! I had an amazing time too~~~~~!! Thank you, class representative Ryuichi!! I've participated in other dolphin tours, but this was the most luxurious experience I could have asked for!! At first, I thought the boat might be scary, but it was not scary at all, and compared to larger boats, we could see the dolphins up close when they came near!! We were blessed with beautiful weather that day, the water temperature was warm, and the water was clear!! I didn't rent a wetsuit, but compared to other tours, the equipment was solid and the price was reasonable!! Other tours felt more expensive~. The content was excellent!! The food was a light snack, but there are so many delicious things in Hawaii, and there were plenty of other things I wanted to eat, so this tour was perfect for us!! I will definitely participate again!!! Class representative, I look forward to working with you again!!!

あっかえままさんの次のコメントだ~~~！！！私も最高に楽しかったですよ~~~~~！！学級委員長の龍一さん！！お世話になりました！！他のイルカツアーにも参加をしてますが、一番贅沢な時間を過ごさせてもらう事ができました！！ボートは初め怖いかな？？っておもっいましたが･･全然こわくないし、大きなボートに比べてイルカが近くに来た時まじかにみれます！！この日は晴天にもめぐまれ、水温もあったかくて水もクリアでした！！ウエットは借りなかったけど他のツアーに比べるとしっかりしたもので、お値段もリーズナブル！！他ツアーは高かった気がするぅ~。
内容は最高！！ご飯は軽食ですが、ハワイにはたくさんおいしい物があって、他で食べたい物が山ほどあったので私達には最適なツアーでした！！間違いなくまた参加します！！！学級委員長またよろしくおねがいしまーーす！

Private Iruka Junior High is the best!! 私立イルカ中学最高！！

Reviewed by: かえまま

I participated with a family of friends (ages 6 to 65). Those who are prone to seasickness were advised to take medication in the shuttle car, but I forgot to take it and was completely fine.

At first, I was a bit anxious about the name "Private Dolphin Middle School," but it was the cheapest option, and they offered free rentals for fins and prescription goggles, so I decided to go with it. However, Yuriko, the owner, who is also the class representative and principal, really paid attention to each individual and made an effort to ensure everyone had a great time.

That's probably why this relatively new travel company, which just celebrated its first anniversary in May, is so popular.

The meals included snacks, cinnamon rolls, cheese, fruits, juice, and hot tea. Even though we worried about overeating on the boat (laughs), it was more than enough for us.

As for the main content, the course included sea turtles, fish, and dolphins. Although we didn't see any sea turtles at first, we were taken to a point where we could see them up close at the end.

To our surprise, a pod of over 20 dolphins appeared! My 6-year-old son can't swim, but he did his best to chase them with a life jacket and snorkel. Thankfully, Yuriko supported him, so I could chase after them without worry (laughs). Luckily, the dolphins turned around and swam right beneath my son, which was amazing! Thanks to that, we got some great photos together.

$130 is a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Once you experience it, feeding and touching them will feel insufficient!

I heard there's also something called Dolphin University.

友人ファミリーと一緒に（6歳~65歳）参加しました。
船に酔いやすい人は送迎の車で薬を飲むよう言われましたが、飲み忘れたけどまったく大丈夫でした。

初めは「私立イルカ中学」という名前に不安がありましたが、1番安かったし、フィン、度つきのゴーグルの貸し出しが無料だった・・・というだけで決めましたが、オーナーで学級委員長でもあり学長でもあるユリコさんが本当に一人一人に気を配り、楽しんで帰ってもらおうとしているのが伝わりました。

なのでまだ5月で1周年という新しい旅行会社にもかかわらず人気なのでしょう。

食事はスナック、シナモンロール、チーズ、フルーツ、ジュース、温かいお茶でした。
船の上で食べ過ぎても、色々心配なので（笑）私達には十分でした。


肝心な内容なのですが、ウミガメ→お魚竜宮城→イルカちゃんというコースで、最初にウミガメには会えなかったのですが、最後に又ウミガメのポイントへ連れて行っていただけ、間近に見ることが出来ました。

イルカも20頭以上の群れで現れびっくり！！
6歳の息子は泳げないけどライフジャケットと何とかシュノーケルで一生懸命追いかけますが・・・ユリコさんが息子をサポートしてくれたので私も安心して追いかけられました（笑）
ラッキーなことに、イルカ達がＵターンしてくれ息子の真下を泳いでくれ最高でした！！
お陰で親子で激写しまくり。

＄１３０は高いけど、その価値はあります。
1度体験してしまったら、餌をやる、タッチする・・なんて物足りなくなりますよ！！

イルカ大学というのもあるらしい。

Reviewed by: 慶さん

The early morning pickup at 5 AM was tough, but I was super lucky to experience the full menu in the morning.

First, even though it's almost May, I encountered a mother and baby whale, and then I got to swim with tropical fish and turtles at the Dragon Palace. The sea turtles swam leisurely, allowing me to gaze at them while swimming alongside (laughs).

However, I was worried that I might not get to see the dolphins since I couldn't find them for a while. Just when I started to think it might be a bad day, I received information that they were near the power plant on the West Coast, so we headed there directly on a high-speed boat. It felt like a roller coaster on the sea, and we arrived on time. Finally, I spotted the dolphins.

After watching them jump and spin eight times from the boat, I quietly entered the water from behind them and was finally able to swim with them. In the morning, they swam slowly with one eye closed, so I got to experience several pods swimming right beneath me and beside me. It was thrilling and a bit healing at the same time. Yay! I guess this was thanks to the high-speed boat and the crew.

The staff were fun and kind, and I’m really glad I participated. (By the way, it's a good idea to use motion sickness medication and a wetsuit for peace of mind.) Next time, I want to come with my family, not just my wife!

朝５時の迎えはきつかったけど、午前中にフルメニューの体験が出来、超ラッキー。
まず初めは、間もなく５月というのに、鯨の親子に出会え、その後竜宮城で熱帯魚たちや亀とも泳げた。海亀はゆったりと泳いでくれるので横で泳ぎながら見つめ合えちゃった（笑)
ただ、なかなか肝心のイルカに出会えなくて、今日はだめな日なのかな？と不安に思ったところ、ウエストコーストの発電所の辺りにいるらしいとの情報が入り、高速ボートで直行。海の上のジェットコースターのようで楽しい上に、時間内に到着。そしてついにイルカ先生たちを発見。
船上からジャンプスピンを８回見た後、彼らの後ろからソーッと海に入り、ついに先生たちとと泳ぐことが出来ました。
朝のうちは、片目をつぶって寝ながらゆっくり泳ぐ彼らなので、いくつかの群れが自分の真下の海底や自分の真横で泳いでくれるのを体験。興奮と共にちょっと癒される感じを体験。やったね！これも高速ボートと航海士のお陰かな。
　スタッフも楽しく、親切でホントに参加して良かった。
（なお、酔い止め薬とウェットスーツは利用したほうが安心。）
今度は、妻だけじゃなく、家族とも来たいな！

There were 12 Japanese participants and 4 staff members, and the class representative, Yuriko, warmly welcomed us, easing our nerves. By the time we set out to sea on the Zodiac, I had already made friends with the other participants. No one experienced seasickness.

We went into the water twice and were captivated by a huge pod of dolphins that couldn't fit in the camera frame. We also saw three sea turtles, one of which came up to the surface, but it was surrounded by about 15 Western tourists from another tour who, not knowing it was an "endangered species," excitedly touched it and it quickly dove back down... Their manners were terrible (crying).

Swimming with dolphins felt like a dream, and I was truly moved by the many mystical sights we encountered! It seems there are also dolphin school trips and training camps, which I'm curious about. That day was warm, and since we didn't see any whales, I'm planning to join again during a slightly colder season next time!

参加者は12人の日本人と、スタッフさん4人で、学級委員長のユリコさんが明るく迎えてくれて緊張が解けたので、ゾディアックで海に出る頃には他の参加者さんと仲良くなれました。船酔いしてる人もいなかったです。

2回海に入って、カメラの画面に収まりきらない数のイルカの大群が見れて夢中になって泳ぎました。海亀も3匹見れて、1匹は海面に出て来てくれましたが他のツアーの欧米人15人位に囲まれ「絶滅保護動物」と知らないのか騒ぎながら一斉に触りすぐ海底に潜ってしまいました…マナーが悪すぎです(泣)　

イルカと泳げるなんて夢のようだったし、神秘的な光景が沢山見れて本当に感動します!!イルカ修学旅行やイルカ合宿もあるようでそれも気になってます。その日は暖かくクジラが見れなかったので次回はもう少し寒い時期に参加しようと計画中です！

My first overseas trip was to Hawaii.
What I was looking forward to the most was the class with the dolphins.
There were 10 Japanese participants, including my mother and me, 6 foreigners, and 4 staff members...
I guess that made for quite a large group?

I took a spot right at the front of the boat, and despite being blown by the strong wind, I had a really fun time.
After a short ride, we spotted a whale!
It was quite close, and I could hear the sound of it spouting water.
After seeing the whale, we went searching for the dolphin teachers...

There they were!
A bottlenose dolphin teacher.
However, it seemed that the bottlenose dolphin couldn't swim with us, so we just watched it, but it swam alongside the boat.
It was so close that I felt like I could almost touch it!
I was so excited and thrilled!
I wanted to keep playing tag with it... (laughs)

Though it was hard to say goodbye to the bottlenose dolphin, we moved on to search for the striped dolphin teacher.
Then we discovered a group of them!
I heard they were sleeping...
So, we quietly entered the water, trying not to splash, and put our faces in the water to watch the dolphin teachers.
Seeing so many dolphins swimming right below me was incredibly exciting and mysterious...
It's a shame I couldn't see them up close, but some participants might have had a good view?
I wanted to spend more time with the striped dolphins...
Reluctantly, we moved on to the next point to see the sea turtles.
Here, wearing life jackets was optional.
So, I decided not to wear one...
But it was cold, so I had borrowed a wetsuit from the start, which made it difficult to dive properly, but I was surprised to see a large sea turtle right next to me!
We swam together for a few seconds.
The sea turtle took a breath and dove deep, and I thought about following it, but I couldn't dive like the turtle... (sigh)
Next time I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again!
I learned a few tips, so next time, I'm eager to see many dolphin teachers.
The only downside was that it was cold...
Am I just too sensitive to the cold? (laughs)
I'm looking forward to participating during a warmer season next time.
Thank you very much, and I hope to do this again!☆

初めての海外旅行が、今回のハワイ。
そして何よりも楽しみにしていたのが、【イルカ中学】の授業でした。
参加者は、私と母を含め、日本人が10名、外国の方が6名、スタッフさんが4名・・・。
人数的には、多かったのかな？

私はボートの真ん前を陣取りスゴイ風にあおられながらも、とっても楽しい時間でした。
少し走ると、クジラさんが♪
結構近くにいたりして、潮を吹く音が聞こえました。
クジラさんを見た後は、イルカ先生探しに。。。

いました！
バンドウイルカ先生が。
でも、バンドウ先生は一緒に泳ぐことが出来ないらしく、ミテルだけでしたが、ボートと一緒に泳いでくれました。
とっても近くで、手で触れそうな至近距離！
ドキドキワクワクです♪
ずっと一緒に追いかけっこをしたいくらい。。。（笑）

名残惜しかったけど、バンドウ先生とバイバイして、今度はハシナガイルカ先生探しに。
そして群れでいる先生を発見♪
話によると、寝てるそうな・・・？
なので、そぉ~っと海に入って足をばたつかせないようにして海に顔をつけてイルカ先生ウォッチング。
沢山のイルカ先生が、自分の真下をスゥ~ッって泳いでいくのは、とっても興奮で、とっても不思議で・・・。
至近距離では見れなかったのが残念ですが、参加者した人の中では、良い感じに見れた人もいたかも？
ハシナガ先生とも、もっともっと居たかったけど。。。
後ろ髪を引かれつつも、次のウミガメさんのポイントへ移動。
ココではライフジャッケットの着用は自由。
なので、私はなしにして・・・。
でも、寒かったので、最初からウェットスーツを借りてきてたので、うまく潜ったり出来ませんでしたが、大きなウミガメさんが、すぐ真横にいてビックリ！
数秒でしたが一緒に泳いでました。
ウミガメさんは、息を吸って？深く下へもぐって行ってしまい、ついていこうと思ったけど、ウミガメさんのようには潜れず。。。（苦笑）
次回ハワイに来たらまた絶対に参加させてもらいたいです♪
チョットコツを覚えたので、今度は、沢山イルカ先生を見る気満々です。
残念なのは、寒かったこと・・・。
私が寒がりすぎなのか？（笑）
もう少し暖かい時期に参加するのを楽しみにしています。

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Snorkeling 4-13-09

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

Unfortunately, during the second try, we were late and couldn't see anything because I was calming the child who didn't want to get in the water, while others seemed very satisfied with the large number of whales they saw compared to the first try. It seems that it's a bit much for a 5-year-old. But it's okay to leave the child on the boat because the staff takes care of them. I brought my camera to take pictures of the dolphins, but the staff took many photos and will send them to us via email later. So, it seems better to just focus on watching the dolphins. We couldn't go to the Dragon Palace, but we did encounter whales and mantas. I think I will participate again next time.

いとことその子供（５歳）と３人で参加しました。
当日は、晴天でしたが、風がとても強かったです。
船は大揺れで、途中出された軽食も食べるどころではありませんでした。
ですが、たくさんのイルカに遭遇。一回目のトライでは、イルカの鳴き声まで聞くことができました。二回目のトライでは、出遅れてしまい何も見ることが出来ず、残念。というのも、水中に入らない子供をなだめていたからで、他の人たちは、一回目よりも大量のクジラに大満足のようでした。
やはり、５歳の子供には、無理のようです。でも、船上に子供を残しても、スタッフの方が面倒をみてくださるので大丈夫です。自分でイルカの写真を撮ろうとカメラを持っていったのですが、スタッフの方がたくさんの写真を撮っていて、あとでメールに送信してくださいます。ですから、ただ、イルカを見ることだけに専念する方がよさそうです。
竜宮城に行くことはできませんでしたが、クジラやマンタにも遭遇できましたよ。
また、次回も参加しようと思います。

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

Exciting エキサイティング

Reviewed by: リンク

I participated with lunch and transportation included. The lunch was okay. For the transportation, I realized it’s better to speak up when you see a bus that looks like it belongs to the tour, rather than just waiting at the pickup spot. This applies not only to this tour but also to others.

It seemed fine to be picked up at the hotel and to stay at Aloha Tower on the way back (since the number of people going and returning was different).

Now, there were quite a few people on board, and I thought we probably wouldn’t see any whales. So, I was in a complete state of giving up, just looking at the sea while saying, “I heard they give you a ticket to ride again.”

Then, my child started to fuss about being hungry, and while I was asking, “Do you want to eat?” there was an announcement on the boat saying, “There’s a whale at 2 o'clock.”

Suddenly, the boat was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was thrilled when they saw the whale's tail! We were able to see the tail multiple times, but since it’s a wild animal, it was at the whale's pace. We kept looking at the sea, and it was like, “Oh, it just spouted! I saw the tail!”

I was wondering, “Aren’t whales usually in groups?” and then we spotted another whale at 9 o'clock!

It was quite exciting! It was more thrilling than when we went to see dolphins. The dolphins were cute, but the whales gave a sense of the grandeur of nature, which was incredibly moving. It felt like discovering Mount Fuji??? Maybe because you can’t see them in aquariums?

On the boat, there were various activities like hula and ukulele lessons, and making leis, which were fun. It was a moment that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy.

However, coffee, tea, and fruit punch were free, while other soft drinks and alcohol were at an additional charge... I thought it would have been nice if at least one drink was free.

Also, they take the promised photo when boarding. It’s a nice keepsake, so we always buy it, but the boarding process takes quite a while for the group to gather, so be prepared to wait patiently.

ランチ・送迎付きでの参加です。
ランチはまあまあ。送迎は、ピックアップ場所で待ってるだけよりは、それらしいバスを見かけたら自分から声をかけた方がいいなと実感しました。これは、このツアーだけでなく、他のツアーに参加するときもそうです。

ホテルで拾ってもらって、帰りはアロハタワーに残る事もＯＫのようでした。（行きと帰りの人数が違っていたので）

さて、乗船人数はかなり多かったですが、私たちはクジラはもう見れないかなーと思っての参加でした。
だから「再度乗れるよっていう券、くれるらしいよ~」なんて言って完全諦めモードで海を眺めてました。

そのうち、子供がおなかがすいたとぐずりだしたので「食べる？」なんて言ってたら、「クジラが２時の方向に居る」との船内放送がありました。

そうしたら、船内がザワザワというかキャー！というか、もうみんな浮き足立って
クジラのシッポが見えると　大歓声！
何度もシッポを見る事はできましたが、やはりそれは自然の生き物なのでクジラのペースです。
ずーっと海を見ていて　「あ、今、潮吹いた！シッポが見えた！」という感じでした。

「クジラって群れで居ないのかなー」って言ってたら、今度は９時の方向でもクジラが！

かなりエキサイティングでしたよー。
ドルフィンを見に行った時よりも盛り上がりました。
ドルフィンは「かわいい！」って感じでしたが、ホエールはなんか大自然の雄大さを感じるというか感激度もすごかったです。富士山を発見した時のような感じ？？？水族館などでも見れないという事からですかね？


船内では、フラ、ウクレレのレッスン・レイを作るなど様々な催しがあり、楽しかったです。
子供からお年寄りまでたのしめたひと時でした。

ただ、コーヒー、紅茶、フルーツパンチは無料。それ以外のソフトドリンクとアルコールが別料金だったので・・・・
どうせなら１杯は無料とかだと良かったのにな~と思いました。

あと、乗船の時に　お約束の写真を撮ります。
記念になるので我が家では絶対に買うのですが、撮影で乗船時にかなりもたつきます。グループで全員揃って、気長に待ってね。という感じです。

Our original reservation of Thurs was cancelled due to weather. The staff was very efficient at rescheduling us for Mon, and even opened up their 9:30 tour.
