The submarine was a bit offshore, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by boat, but the view of Diamond Head and the beach from the boat was amazing. The wreckage of the submarine, along with the remains of ships and walkers that have been sunk to create a reef, was impressive. I also learned about the efforts to protect Hawaii's marine environment, which made me realize once again the importance of preserving nature. While most of the fish were small, we encountered a sea turtle along the way, making it a memorable experience.
潜水艦が少し沖にあり10分程度船で移動しますがその時の船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチの景色は最高でした。潜水艦も海底に沈めた、船とか歩行器の残骸の漁礁が印象的でした。またハワイの海の自然を守る活動を聞いて努力して維持していること知り改めて自然を守る大切さを感じました。魚は小さいものが中心ですが、途中でウミガメにも遭遇し、印象に残る体験でした。

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.
潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。
アロハ!私たちのワイキキの潜水艦アドベンチャーに関するフィードバックを共有していただきありがとうございます。ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しんでいただけたこと、そして私たちの空調付き潜水艦で海の100フィート下を探検できたことを嬉しく思います。マハロ!

The photo session with the dolphins at Sea Life Park was very enjoyable and fulfilling. However, while waiting for the departure bus, it arrived about 10 minutes later than initially scheduled.
The meeting point was in front of a different hotel, and as other tour buses continued to arrive, I started to worry that I might have gone to the wrong place or that I had missed the bus and been left behind. This anxiety lingered throughout the wait.
In Hawaii, it's not uncommon for things to run late, and I don't mean to criticize that mindset. However, the voucher stated, "Departure is at 8:30 AM. Please gather a little earlier," so I assumed the bus would arrive with a bit of extra time built into the schedule.
What was most disappointing was that there was an emergency contact number listed, and when I called because the bus was taking so long, I heard a recording saying, "The office opens at 10 AM." What does "emergency" mean in that context...? This only heightened my anxiety.
Ultimately, the bus arrived 10 minutes late, which was a relief, but if they weren't going to respond to emergencies, I would have preferred not to have an emergency contact number listed at all.
Sea Life Park was fun and incredibly enjoyable, but since the ocean was right in front of us, I took the opportunity to escape and go to the beach. The ocean was unbelievably beautiful, and I was glad I made the trip.
シーライフパークでのイルカとの写真撮影などはとても楽しくて充実していました。しかし、行きの出発のバスを待っている際、当初よりも10分ほど遅れてバスが来ました。
違うホテルの前での集合だったのですが、他のツアーのバスもどんどん到着してくるので、もしかして場所を間違えたのではないか。
それても見逃して置いてかれたのか、そのような不安がずっと付きまとっていました。
ハワイ時間ではオンタイムに到着なんてあり得ない。そのような考え方に是非を申す訳ではありません。しかし、バウチャーには「8時30分には出発する。少し前に集合してくれ」と書いてあったので、てっきり少し余裕をもったスケジュールでバスが来てるものかと思いました。
一番残念だったのは、緊急連絡先という項目があり、なかなかバスが来なかったので電話したところ、「オフィスは10時からあいてます」というテープレコーダーが流れてきました。
緊急の意味とは……?
と、更に不安を煽られました。
結果的に10分遅れでバスが来たので良かったのですが、緊急なのに対応してくれないのならば、緊急連絡先など載せて欲しくはなかったです。
シーライフパークは楽しかったのですが、もの凄い良かったのですが、せっかく海が目の前にあるので、抜け出して海へ行きました。
信じられないほど美しい海で、来て良かったなと思いました。

This was my third whale watching experience. In the previous two, I didn't see any whales. Even this time, when we arrived at the spot, there were no whales, and I thought it was going to be another disappointment. However, on the way back to the port, the staff shouted "Whale!" When I looked up, a mother and calf whale appeared. I was really glad. The staff's response was also very good.

Fabulous experience - I would highly recommend this to everyone. Well organised, helpful staff, who went out of their way to make it an amazing experience for all. Plenty of time to snorkel when it wasn't your turn to ride on the underwater scooter. We saw turtles and lots of different types of fish. The photographer took great photos and a video, which you can pay to download later if you want to. A perfect day and I loved every minute of it.
One tip - take a sweatshirt. The weather wasn't great the day we went. Whilst the sea was warm, we were provided with wet suit tops so we were fine during the activity but we were a bit cold when we got out of the water, during the pack up and the boat ride back to shore.

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience.

個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!
However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.
It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました!今回もイルカもカメも見れました!スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした!
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
12月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…?冬で波が高いとかですかね?普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

We set sail from the port and quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot after receiving instructions. One by one, we entered the water and swam with the guide, where we were able to see many dolphins up close. I swam with my child, and both of us were moved by the experience. I think we spent about 15 minutes in the water. The dolphins seemed to stay in the area, so I wished we could have swum a bit longer. Since we were swimming in the open sea, if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to chase the dolphins, so I recommend building up your endurance before participating. My 62-year-old mother didn't have enough stamina and got tired just from swimming, so she had to get out of the water before seeing the dolphins. Next time, I want to invite other family members to join us.

It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.

We were in a group of about eight people, and everyone, regardless of age, seemed to be smiling and having a great time.

This activity is recommended for those who have a certain level of confidence in swimming. The dolphins were swimming at an incredible speed, whether it was due to their wild nature or just that day, so the instructor guided us. However, if you leisurely follow behind the instructor, you won't get to see the dolphins. It felt more like we were searching for the dolphins rather than swimming with them. We swam with all our might multiple times and ended up completely exhausted. It was a different dolphin experience than we expected, but for my active husband and me, it was enjoyable.
ある程度泳ぎに自信のある方にオススメのアクティビティです。野生やからかその日たまたまかイルカはすごいスピードで泳いでいるので、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれますが、インストラクターの後ろに悠長についていったらイルカは拝めません。笑 一緒に泳ぐというかイルカを探しにいくって感じ。全力で何度も泳ぎ、クタクタになりました。予想とは違うイルカ体験ではありましたが、アクティブな私たち夫婦にとっては楽しかったです。

You can pass the waiting time by interacting with various creatures like turtles and birds.
The dolphin swim experience allows for more interaction with the dolphins than you might expect. You can learn a lot about their ecology (it's in English, but they use gestures to make it easy to understand), and you get to hold onto their fins and swim together, play with them, and have a level of interaction that is quite rare in Japan. It was a very valuable experience. The atmosphere was very homey, with participants from overseas and trainers cheering each swimmer with "good job!" and applause.
待ち時間は亀や鳥等いろんな生き物で時間をつぶせます。
ドルフィンスイムは思っているよりがっつりとイルカと触れ合うことが出来ます。
生態について沢山勉強ができますし(英語ですがジェスチャーとかわかりやすくしてくれます)、ヒレに掴まって一緒に泳いだり、一緒に遊んだり、日本ではなかなか体験できないほど触れ合うことが出来てとても貴重な経験でした。

The weather was perfectly clear, and the waves were calm. I heard there was a 95% chance of seeing dolphins, so I had high expectations! However, it turned out to be the worst day with no dolphins in sight...
I guess it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, but after spending a lot of money, I only enjoyed a long cruise, a bit of snorkeling, and a hamburger. I even fell asleep while searching for dolphins.
Despite saying we would look for dolphins on the way back from snorkeling, they quickly packed up the snorkeling gear, and the staff didn't seem very enthusiastic.
During the hula experience at the end, the staff danced like it was just another day at work. I wish they could have been a bit more cheerful and engaging.
As a consolation for not seeing dolphins, it seems I can participate in a cheaper dolphin tour for free next time. But it’s not that easy to go to Hawaii...
I'll upload the last photo I took.
天候ばっちり晴れ。波も穏やか。
95%の確率でイルカが見れると聞いて、かなり期待していました!
しかし、まさかのイルカが見つからないという最悪な日に。。。
自然相手だから仕方ないのでしょうが、高いお金出して、
長時間のクルージングとシュノーケリング少し楽しんでハンバーガー食べただけでした。イルカ探索中に、途中寝てしまいました。
シュノーケリングの帰りにもイルカを探しましょうと言っていた割には、
早々にシュノーケリングセットを片付けられてしまい、
スタッフもその気なさそうでした。
終わり際のフラ体験も、スタッフは毎日のお仕事って感じで踊っていました。
もう少しスタッフの笑顔で盛り上げてくれると良いのにな~って思いました。
イルカが見れなかった代わりに
次回は、少し安めのイルカツアーが無料で参加できるようです。
でも、そんな簡単にハワイに行けないな...。
最後に撮った写真UPします。

I heard that you can swim with dolphins over 90% of the time, but on the day I participated, I could see the dolphins but couldn't swim with them, which was a bit disappointing. Since it's nature, I understand, but I was really looking forward to it... The tour company staff worked hard to find them, but sometimes these things happen.
Also, I participated in the second trip, but the meal was just one spam rice ball and a drink. I was really hungry on the way back. I hope they can improve the meals a bit.
90%以上でイルカと泳げるらしいのですが、私が参加した日はイルカは見えましたが、イルカとは泳げず少しがっかり。自然相手なので仕方ないですが、楽しみにしていだけに。。。。ツアー会社の方も一生懸命探してくれましたが、こんな日もあります。
それから2便での参加だったのですが、食事がスパム系のおにぎり1個と飲み物だけ。帰りのバスは腹ペコで困りました。食事はもう少し改善して欲しいと思いました。

I participated in the morning tour. (Since I was staying in Haleiwa, I joined the tour alone from the local area.) The reception booth is open early in the morning, so you just need to say your name and then wait at the designated spot to board the boat. Since it was a completely English tour, I honestly felt a bit anxious because I'm not very good at English.
Once I got on the boat, the captain-like person came out after a while and started talking about the precautions with some jokes mixed in. Honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all (I think he was explaining something like not to lean on the cage or stick your feet out, or you might get eaten by a shark). However, after that, he talked about how the teams would be divided and the order of entry into the cage, which I managed to understand.
Then, following the instructions, when it was time, we put on our underwater masks and snorkels and entered the water. No fins were allowed; we were barefoot. I wasn't timing it, but we were given plenty of time, enough to get bored. However, since there were quite a few people in the cage, it felt like we were just floating around and observing the sharks underwater. I tried to dive down and observe once, but I got scolded for that.
That said, the sharks didn't seem to be interested in humans, and while I was nervous when I first entered, the fear gradually faded away. In the end, there were even people taking pictures while hanging their feet over the edge of the cage. It seems there were no restrictions on bringing cameras or videos; for those who didn't have one, they were available for rent for a fee.
After about ten minutes of watching, I started to get bored and thought, "Is this ever going to end?" However, throughout the time we were in the cage, the sharks were always nearby, swimming around. They might have been throwing out some food.
Once all the teams finished, we headed straight back to the port. There wasn't really anything else to see.
Even though I participated alone, my lack of English skills and communication ability made it feel quite isolating. All the other participants were young American students who were all chattering among themselves, and I felt a bit left out. I ended up just looking off into the distance by myself.
Still, I think it was good to experience something I normally wouldn't get to do. By the way, the captain seemed like a nice person. He was considerate of me being alone.
P.S.: After reading others' impressions, I noticed something different from my experience: the boat's swaying. It might have been better in the morning, or maybe the waves were just calm that day, but it was very comfortable. No participants seemed to get seasick, so the conditions were probably good.
Also, a note of caution: there were a lot of jellyfish, possibly due to the season. They were small and looked like trash, so it was hard to avoid them. If you're bare-skinned, you might get stung quite a bit. I recommend wearing a rash guard that covers your arms just in case.
朝一のツアーに参加しました。(ハレイワに滞在していたので現地から一人で参加)
朝早くから受付のブースは空いているので、名前を言ってあとは指定された場所で待機していれば乗船できます。
完全な英語ツアーなので英語があまり得意ではない僕にとっては正直、不安でした。
船に乗り込むとしばらくして船長さんらしき人が出てきて何やら冗談混じりで注意事項を話し始めます。正直何言ってるか全然わからないw
(多分ケージにもたれかかったり、足出すなよ。サメに喰われるぞ的な説明だったかと)
ただ、その後ケージに入るチーム分けと入る順番を話してくれてこれは何とかなりました。
あとは指示に従って時間になれば水中マスクとシュノーケルをつけて入ります。フィンはなし。素足です。
時間を計っていたわけではないですが、飽きるくらい十分の時間が与えられます。
ただオリに入る人数がそこそこ多いのでプカプカ浮きながら水中を見てサメを観察する感じです。一回頭から潜って観察したんですが、やるなって怒られました。
とはいえ、サメは人間に興味無さそうだし、入った時はドキドキですが、だんだんと恐怖感は無くなります。
しまいにはオリに足かけて潜って写真撮ってる人もいました。
カメラとかビデオの持ち込み、撮影は制限無いようです。ない人には貸し出しも有料でしてるみたいでした。
さすがに10分も見ると飽きてきて、もう終わらないかなぁなんて思ってしまいました。ただオリの中にいる間中、サメはずっと近くにいてウロウロしてくれてました。エサでも撒いてるのかも。
全チーム見終わったらすぐ港に直帰。ほかに特に何かを見るということもありませんでした。
一人での参加ですが、僕にあまり英語力とコミュ力がなかったのもありますが、結構なアウェイ感です。他の参加者がみんなアメリカの学生さんみたいな若い人ばっかりだったのて内輪でキャッキャやってて、ちょっとその中には入れないなあと。遠くを見ながらのボッチでした。
まあそれでも普段体験出来ない事が出来たんで良かったかなと思います。
ちなみに船長さんはなかなかいい人そうでしたよ。ボッチの僕にも気をつかってくれてました。
追記:他の皆さんの感想みて僕の時と違うと思ったのは揺れ。朝一がいいのか、たまたま波が少なかったのか、快適そのものでした。参加者で酔ってるひとは誰もおらず環境は良かったのかも。
あと、注意点ですが、季節柄かも知れませんが、めっちゃクラゲがいます。しかも小さくてゴミみたいなやつなので避けようがない。
裸だとかなりチクチクやられるかも知れません。腕が隠れるラッシュガードを念のため着ていくことをお勧めします。

There's no guarantee that you'll definitely see dolphins, but I did.
First of all, it was tough getting up early, but there is a shuttle service to take you close to the departure point. There were quite a few Japanese people, and with a Japanese guide, I had nothing to worry about.
- Even if you usually don’t get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I usually don’t get seasick, but even with medication, I felt nauseous towards the end. The boat sways so much that you can’t stand unless it’s anchored somewhere. The waves were high, and just floating in the water made me feel sick. There’s a toilet on the boat, so you can throw up without worrying about others (there are special bags available). They were selling motion sickness bands, but it seems to vary from person to person...
- If you can’t swim, don’t worry. I hadn’t swum in years and had no experience with snorkeling, so I was anxious, but they give you a briefing before swimming, and you wear a life jacket, so you definitely won’t sink. I felt very safe while snorkeling.
- It’s quite cold, so I think it’s better to rent a wetsuit. If you want to swim in a cute swimsuit, you’ll definitely need a cover-up and a towel.
- It was nice to have light snacks. They provided pineapple, snacks, and cheeseburgers to refresh your palate. For those who got seasick, the cheeseburger was a bit much, but they also give you a takeout bag. I got sick, so the pineapple and lemon water helped me.
- The crew performed a hula dance and were very lively, making it a fun and exciting experience.
I was able to see dolphins during my second snorkeling session. Since dolphins are fast, I found that sticking closely to the crew was key to seeing them. Swimming with a pod of dolphins was an indescribable experience. I even saw a baby dolphin. While watching from the boat, I saw them do spin jumps. I also caught a glimpse of a whale. It was moving to connect with nature.
After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we could freely play on slides and boats. There were turtles and lots of tropical fish.
I feel a bit guilty saying this, but if you board the boat last, you can sit towards the back. Being at the back means you get to enter the water first, so I was able to closely follow the crew and see the dolphins. There were some people who didn’t see any dolphins this time, but it really depends on timing.
You can’t take pictures with the dolphins or turtles; you need to keep your distance. It’s all about observing from afar. I did feel nauseous towards the end, but until then, I had a great time, so I have no complaints about this tour. All my anxieties were resolved, and I was able to participate! It was a safe, secure, and very enjoyable experience! If you’re considering joining, I highly recommend it! Just make sure to take precautions against motion sickness!
イルカに必ず会える保証はないですが、会えました。
まず早朝でしんどいですが近くまで送迎があります。結構日本人が多く、日本人ガイドもいて何も心配ありませんでした。
・普段酔わない方も酔い止め必須。普段酔いやすい私が酔い止めのんでも終盤吐きました。船がどこかにつかまらないと立っていられないくらい揺れます。波も高いので泳いで浮いてるだけでも酔いました。船にトイレもあるので人目を気にせずに吐けます(専用の袋があります)
酔い止めバンドを販売していましたが個人差があるみたいです…
・泳げない人でも大丈夫。何年も泳いだことない、シュノーケリング未経験な私は不安でしたが泳ぐ前にレクチャーしてくれるし、ライフジャケット着るので絶対に沈みません。とても安心してシュノーケリングできました。
・かなり寒いのでウェットスーツレンタルした方がいいと思います。可愛く水着で泳ぎたい方は上着とタオル必須です。
・軽食つきが有難い。お口直しのパイナップル、スナック、チーズバーガーが配られます。酔った人にチーズバーガーは追い討ちでしたがもちろんテイクアウト用の袋もくれます。私は酔ったのでパイナップル、レモンウォーターに助けられました。
・クルーがフラダンス披露してくれたり、ノリノリなのでとてもワクワク楽しいです。
イルカを2回目のシュノーケリングで見ることができました。イルカは早いのでしっかりクルーの先頭についていく事が見るコツかなぁと。群れで泳ぐイルカはなんとも言えない感動でした。子供のイルカもみれました。また船からもウォッチングしていたらスピンジャンプしてくれました。少しだけクジラも見ることができました。自然に触れられて感動です。
その後シュノーケリングする場所へ移動し、滑り台やボートなど自由に遊べます。カメもいましたし、熱帯魚がたくさんいました。
こんな事を書くとずるいですが、船に乗る時、最後にのると船の後ろらへんに座れます。後ろにいると海に入るのが先になるのでクルーにしっかりついていってイルカを見ることができました。今回はいませんでしたが、中には見れない人もいるみたいです。本当にタイミングです。
またイルカやカメと写真が撮れる、ということはないです。近寄ったりはダメなので。あくまでも遠くから見る、という感じです。
私は終盤によって吐きましたが、それまではとても楽しかったのでこのツアー文句ナシです。
私の不安も全部解消されて参加できました!安心、安全、とっても楽しい経験でした!
参加を検討されてる方、是非した方がいいですよ!
必ず酔い止め対策は誰でもしてくださいね!
