At first, I was nervous.
Snorkeling was fun, just like sailing. There were many turtles, and I was able to observe them up close.
最初、緊張しましたが。
シュノーケルは、セーリングとも楽しかったです。亀さんか、沢山いて、身近で眺める事が出来ました。

We went for the shark cage adventure on 1st September. It was one of the most terrifying thing we were doing before we started.
The boat was easy to spot, and the best part they waited for us as we got a little late due to road closures. Thumbs up for veltra and the excursion team to work with us on this and keeping us feeling relaxed.
Pro tip: road closures in oahu are really bad, keep more than usual buffer time for your travel.
The boat ride was really choppy, as we were already informed that there were very high waves. The ride could have been slowed down a little(my wife puked due to sea sickness)
Once at the site, we went down in the cage, and after initial jitters of maybe a minute, you start feeling better and safe. So all the folks who are afraid to do so, please just get in the cage, I promise it gets better.
Waters here were again choppy, meaning we were constantly bumping with cage or someone else.
The.good part was we could see multiple galapego sharks, they are magnificent creatures. We saw two upclose and they were big(7-8 feet long).
Ride back was again on rough waters and could have been slowed down a little.
The guides were ok, could have been better and maybe helped us a bit more in water and calming our nerves a little.

It was a wonderful and fulfilling tour. Thanks to a cute, petite Japanese staff member who supported us from the pick-up to the drop-off, I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind throughout. Not only did I get to see dolphins up close, but the giant turtle I encountered while snorkeling was even more impressive than I had imagined! It came so close that I could almost touch it, making me feel like I could ride it to the Dragon Palace. We also had the freedom to enjoy marine sports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which my daughters absolutely loved. I have participated in various tours in Hawaii, but this Dolphin University ranks among the top one or two for the best experience, and I definitely want to join again. The photos taken by the staff were so beautiful that I ended up purchasing them unexpectedly out of sheer emotion.
*Note: There were some people who seemed to struggle with seasickness, so if you're prone to it, don't forget to prepare motion sickness medication in advance!
とても素晴らしい充実したツアーでした。
お迎えから送迎までずっとサポートしてくれた日本人の小柄な可愛い女性スタッフがいてくれたおかげで終始安心してツアーを楽しめました。
期待していたイルカを目の前で見れたのはもちろん、想像以上にシュノーケリングで見た巨大な亀がこれまた凄かった!手を伸ばせば触れてしまうくらいの距離まで近づけて、本当に人間が乗って竜宮城に行けそうって感じでした。
カヤックやスタンドアップパドルなどのマリンスポーツも順番に自由に遊べて、娘たちも大盛り上がりでした。これまでハワイで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、このイルカ大学は1-2位くらい最高の内容で、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。スタッフの方が撮影した写真もあまりに素敵だったので感動のあまり予定外に購入してしまいました。

It was the most fun I've had in Hawaii so far.
My 5-year-old son is a bit scared and couldn't go into the ocean, but he was satisfied feeding fish from the boat and watching dolphins and turtles. It seems that those on the boat were able to witness dolphins jumping and spinning several times.
I went into the ocean. I saw dolphins, but they swam quickly and passed by, yet I was satisfied.
I was moved by the sight of a turtle swimming slowly close enough to reach out and touch.
今まで行ったハワイで一番楽しかったです。
子供5歳男児は怖がりで海には入れませんでしたが、ボートから魚にエサを上げたり、イルカやカメを見て満足してました。
ボートにいた方がイルカのジャンプやクルクル回る様子が何度も目撃できたようです。
私は海に入りました。

It was a perfect day with calm waves and good weather, where neither the boat nor the submarine swayed, and visibility was excellent. By chance, there were only Japanese people, so all the explanations were in Japanese, which was lucky. The scuba diving instructor was very knowledgeable about fish and provided detailed explanations very kindly. It was a quick one-hour underwater exploration.
波も穏やかな良い天気で、船も潜水艦も揺れず、視界も良好で言うことなしの日でした。たまたま日本人ばかりになり、解説は全て日本語になりラッキーでした。スキューバダイビングのインストラクターもされているとのことで、魚のことについても詳しく、とても丁寧に解説してくださいました。あっという間の1時間の海底探索でした。

My overall impression of the experience was good. What I liked most about the activity was seeing the fish while snorkeling. I also saw a few turtles bobbing in and out of the water. There was a boat passing with some dolphins visible which was a nice surprise. My advice for future participants include taking precautions for any motion sickness because the water can make the boat rock a bit depending on the waves. Otherwise its a nice experience overall. It was great at the end of the trip when our shoes were lined up before exiting the ship.

Pick from driver was prompt and on time. Once we arrived, we were given very clear instructions once on the boat, all the staff and the captain was very friendly and once we were on our way, everything we needed to know was explained clearly.
The actual scooter came on another boat and we were told how to get in and out of it, and I have to say the experience was unlike anything I've ever done before! We were only about 10-12 feet down but it was so wonderful to be in the water and not having to worry about anything.
The divers were very very professional and attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable, and once we were done with the scuba scooter experience, it was a nice relaxing time on the boat to either go snorkeling or just enjoy the beautiful scenery around us!
Highly recommended, the staff was absolutely great and the captain was "cherry"!
Will definitely do it again next time we are in Honolulu! Highly recommended!!

Last November, my spouse and I participated. It seemed that the boat was launched in a way that was almost a forced breakthrough despite the rough weather, and nearly all the crew members were severely seasick. The motion sickness medication we took was ineffective (laughs).
Instead of fearing the sharks, I was overwhelmed by a fear I had never experienced before, feeling like I might die due to the height of the waves and the intense rocking. It was so rough that even the Westerners on the same boat were smiling wryly.
Because of the rough weather, we couldn't see the ocean from inside the cage. We could only confirm the sharks' presence when they came quite close. I saw about five sharks, but due to the intense rocking inside the cage and the seasickness, I don't remember much (laughs). Other participants were also watching sharks while throwing up, making it quite a harsh experience (laughs).
On days with good weather, it seems you can encounter many sharks, as others have posted. It's an experience that you can't easily have in Japan (and it seems that rough sailing like this is something that only fishermen get to experience), so I definitely recommend participating.
去年の11月に夫婦で参加しました。
大しけの中、強行突破のような形で船を出したようで、乗員のほぼ全員激しく船酔いしていました。飲んでいた酔い止め薬も効果ナシでした(笑)
サメの恐怖ではなく、あまりの波の高さと激しい揺れに、このまま死ぬのではないか、と言う感じたことのない恐怖に襲われました。あまりに激しく揺れるので、同じ船に乗っていた欧米の方々も苦笑でした。
シケでしたので、ゲージに入っても海を見渡せない。サメがかなり近くに来ないと姿を確認できなかったです。5匹ほど見れましたが、ゲージ内の揺れがすごいのと船酔いで気持ち悪いのであまり記憶がありません(笑)他の参加者も吐きながらサメを見る、といったかなり過酷な現場でした(笑)
天気の良い日は他の方が投稿されているように、たくさんのサメに出会えるようですね。日本ではなかなかできない体験(大しけの航海も漁師さんたち以外はなかなか体験できなさそう)ですので是非参加してみてください。

I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.
We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!
Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.
While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.
The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.
野生のイルカの群れに会えました!
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました!海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました!
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。
イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった?)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。
スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。

The day I participated, it was packed with about 40 people, and there was barely enough room to sit. There were four crew members. I attended with elementary school children, but the explanation for using the snorkeling gear was very brief, and after that, everyone pretty much did their own thing. During sailing, the crew said it was optional to wear life jackets, and since they came around to collect them, none of the participants ended up wearing them.
I was able to see a sea turtle, and I spotted dolphins jumping in the distance, which was great, but I felt it might be more of an adult-oriented tour.
参加した日は40人くらいの満員状態で席もギリギリ座れるという状態でした。クルーは4人でした。小学生を連れての参加でしたがシュノーケリングの使い方はサラッと説明するくらいで、始まってからはほとんど各自で勝手にやるというかんじでした。セーリングの時は救命胴衣は着けても着けなくてもよいと言ってクルーが回収しにきて参加者全員着用してませんでした。

I participated in a submarine tour for the first time. At first, I waited and waited at the meeting point for the 9:30 tour, but no one came, and it was almost 10:00. I started to worry that I had gone to the wrong place and was about to give up when the pickup finally arrived. Although we started off on a negative note, the submarine tour itself was great. We got to see sea turtles, and the kids were excited throughout their first experience in a submarine and seeing the underwater scenery. Not only was the underwater experience amazing, but the views from the boat were also fantastic. We could see Diamond Head the whole time, and we took a lot of great photos.

Sea walking is available everywhere, but underwater biking is only here!
About 20 years ago, there was one at Manza Beach in Okinawa, but it couldn't operate due to the weather at that time, and it has been gone since then, which I found disappointing!
However, I found it in Hawaii this time and it was definitely the right decision to sign up without hesitation.
It's quite disappointing that the number of fish has significantly decreased compared to the old Hawaii, but considering this attraction over the fish, I definitely recommend it!
シーウォークはどこにでもあるが、水中バイクはここでしかない!
沖縄にも20年くらい前に万座ビーチにあったが、その時は気候でできなく、それ以来なくなっており残念に思ってました!
しかし今回のハワイで見つけて迷わずに申し込みをして正解だった。
魚の数が昔のハワイに比べてかなり減っているのが残念でならないが、魚よりもこのアトラクションって考えると是非おすすめですね!

The pickup is at 8:30 and we arrive at the hotel at 15:30, so we have a full day to enjoy. The kids had fun playing on the playground equipment, interacting with birds, feeding fish, and even getting close to dolphins. There is a Japanese interpreter, so you can participate in the program with peace of mind! The travel was comfortable as we moved by large bus.
8:30ピックアップ15:30ホテル着なので、1日使います。子供は遊具で遊び、鳥と戯れ、魚に餌をあげたり、イルカとふれ合ったりして楽しんでいました。日本人の通訳の方がいるので安心してプログラムに参加できますよ!
大型バスで移動なので快適でした。

Pickup from the hotel to near Hilton.
There were hardly any Japanese people at the meeting place.
It was helpful that there was a Japanese channel on the headphones in the submarine.
However, you can't see big fish, and you won't see beautiful fish, so if you expect those, you'll be disappointed.
ホテルからヒルトンそばまでピックアップ。
集合場所はほぼ日本人はいませんでした。
潜水艦ではヘッドフォンから日本語のチャンネルがあるから助かりました。
ただ大きな魚は見えないし、綺麗な魚も見れないのでそういうものを期待するとがっかりします。

I woke up at 5 AM and moved to the meeting place in the dim light.
I was worried because I had heard that a tropical storm was coming from the south, but with dawn came clear skies. The sea was calm as well.
The bus provided a thorough explanation beforehand. After boarding, they quickly distributed the equipment.
About 15 minutes after boarding, we encountered a pod of dolphins. We were able to see the dolphins up close as they swam back and forth without needing to change boats.
We moved to another spot for snorkeling. We saw two green sea turtles and an eel, among other things.
The guide mentioned that this was one of the top ten best days of the year.
As expected with wildlife, timing and luck play a role. It seemed challenging to find the dolphins that day, but I felt that the staff here would give their all regardless.
I was able to enjoy the entire experience since I took motion sickness medication.
However, the air conditioning in the car broke on the way back, so I’ll give it a ☆-1.
This can't be helped, but...
Thank you to all the staff and to the god of Waianae!
朝、5時起きで、薄暗い中、集合場所へ移動。
南側にトロピカルストームが来てると、聞いていたので、心配していましたが、夜明けと共に快晴。海も、穏やかでした。
バスで事前に丁寧に説明して下さっていました。乗船後も、テキパキ道具を配って下さいました。
乗船後、15分程で、イルカの群れと遭遇。
船に乗り直すことなく、何度も行き来するイルカを間近でみれました。
移動して、もう一度、シュノーケリング。
アオウミガメ2頭と、ウツボなどもみれました。
今年、10本の指に入るいい日だとガイドさんがおっしゃってました。
やはり、野生動物なのでタイミングと運は、ありますね。
イルカを探す日は、大変そうでしたが、そんな日でも、ここのスタッフさんだと、全力でやってくれると思えました。
酔い止めを、飲んでいたので、終始楽しめました。
帰りの車のエアコンが壊れてしまったので☆-1
これは、仕方ないんですが、、、
スタッフの皆さん、ワイアナエの神さま、ありがとうございました

The president personally guided us, but when there are dolphins, we have to jump into the sea quickly, and I was rushed with comments like "You're too slow to jump!" and "Hurry up and get ready!" Even if they rush us, we're beginners and can't respond quickly. I wish they could take it a bit easier. It made me quite anxious.
I did see dolphins, but the water was murky, so it felt like I could only see their shadows.
学長さん自らが案内してくれたが、イルカがいたら急いで海に飛び込まないといけないのだが、飛び込みが遅い!とか早く準備して!とか急かされる。急かしたところでこちらは初心者なので急には対応出来ない。もう少しのんびり構えてもらいたい。ビクビクしてしまう。
イルカは観れたけど海が濁っていて影が見えるという感じ
I apologize if I made you feel rushed while trying to ensure you had the opportunity to see the dolphins. I will be more mindful of timing when reaching out to you. Thank you for your feedback.
皆さんに観ていただけるようイルカとのタイミングを逃さないようにお声掛けしているのですが、お気持ちを焦らせてしまったようで申し訳御座いません。
お客様のタイミングを測ってお声掛けできるよう気をつけさせていただきます。
ご意見ありがとう御座いました。
