Oahu
I saw about 10 sharks really close up. It was more thrilling than I expected, and it was amazing.
The worst part was the seasickness. The boat on the way there rocked so much that it felt extreme, like waves you wouldn't normally encounter in Japan. We forgot, but taking motion sickness medication is a must. Even with it, the experience might still make you feel nauseous.
サメは、すごく近くに10匹程度みえます。思っていた以上の迫力で、最高でした。
最悪なのは、船酔い。特に行きの船は、これでもかってくらい、揺れます。日本では、まず出向しないくらいの波です。私たちは、忘れてしまいましたが、酔い止め必須です。あっても、あれは、酔うかもしれないレベルです。
There were few fish, and the only things to see were artificial structures and a sunken ship. I started to feel sleepy. The only time I got excited was when I was on the boat heading to the submarine, feeling the wind... I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more marine life. This isn't really the tour company's fault, though...
魚も少ないし見るものと言えば人工的に沈めた枠とか沈没船かな。眠くなってしまいました。テンションが上がったところと言えば潜水艦に向かう船で風に吹かれてるときかな・・・。もう少し生き物がいてくれたら楽しかったと思う。こればっかりはツアー会社のせいじゃないけど・・・。
Aloha, thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience exploring with our state-of-the-art submarine! Unfortunately, Waikiki has a very sparse natural coral reef environment, and over the past 100 years, the natural coral reefs have been disappearing. In collaboration with the University of Hawaii Sea Grant Program, Atlantis has created many vast artificial reef environments to support the thriving of coral reefs and marine life. With a little time and attention, we hope our natural reefs will continue to grow. Thank you for joining us!
アロハ、レビューありがとうございます。最先端の潜水艦で探検した経験を楽しんでいただけたことをうれしく思います!残念ながら、ワイキキには非常にまばらな自然のサンゴ礁環境があり、過去100年にわたって自然のサンゴ礁は消えつつあります。ハワイ大学シーグラントプログラムとの協力により、アトランティスはサンゴ礁と海洋生物の繁栄を支援する多くの広大な人工サンゴ礁環境を作り出しました。少しの時間と注意を払って、私たちの自然のサンゴ礁が成長し続けることを願っています。私たちに参加してくれたマハロ。
You don't need to arrive before the reception time since others are quite relaxed about it. It's not a first-come, first-served situation...
Once the submarine dives, it stabilizes, so I didn't feel nauseous or experience any pressure changes. I joined a tour without a Japanese guide, but if you're just looking to enjoy the ocean, it's not a problem.
The handsome guide, Jordan, was hard to understand at all. I found the earphone guide a bit bothersome and took it off halfway through. I was satisfied to see turtles and sharks.
受付時間前に行かなくても他の方がルーズなので大丈夫です。早い者勝ちとかではないので・・・
潜水艦は潜ると安定してるので気持ち悪くなったり気圧が変になることはなかったです。
日本語ガイドがいないツアーに参加しましたが、純粋に海を楽しむなら問題ないです。
イケメンガイドさんのジョーダンが全く分からないくらいです。イヤホンガイドは途中面倒くさくて外してしまいました。亀やサメも見れて満足です。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your submarine ride experience. We are glad you enjoyed exploring with us. Please join us again soon for another underwater adventure. Mahalo!
アロハ!潜水艦の乗車体験を共有していただきありがとうございます、私たちと一緒に探索して楽しんでいただけたことをうれしく思います。すぐに別の海中アドベンチャーに参加してください。マハロ!
This was my first time participating.
Check-in was scheduled for 8:30 AM, so I arrived at that time. It seems that check-in actually started at that time, so it would have been fine to arrive around 9 AM. Since I was the first to check in, I had quite a bit of waiting time. I wish I had played at the nearby beach...
We moved to two submarines located on the sea using a larger boat with a restroom. From there, we split into two groups to board.
As expected of the waters in Hawaii. The waves were high, so the boat rocked quite a bit. Please be cautious of seasickness. My wife apparently wasn't in the mood to enjoy the submarine experience due to seasickness.
The submarine itself was very good. We were able to see a sunken ship and a submerged Zero fighter, which was quite surreal.
It seems to be a popular tour, as there were many people.
初めて参加させていただきました。
チェックインが8時30分となっていたので、8時30分に行きました。
これはこの時間にチェックインが開始と言う事で、実質9時頃までにくれば良かったぽいです。
一番乗りでチェックインしてしまったので、結構待ち時間がありました。
近くの海で遊んでいれば良かった、、、。
トイレ付きの大きめの船で、海上にある二隻の潜水艦まで移動します。
そこから、二手に分かれて乗り込みます。
さすがハワイの海。
波が高いので、結構揺れます。
船酔いに注意してください。
妻は船酔いで潜水艦で鑑賞する気分ではなかったらしいです。
潜水艦自体はとても良かったです。
沈没船や水没している零戦などが見ることが出来、とても幻想的でした。
人気のツアーらしく、人数は多いです。
Aloha! Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear you had a fun time. It was enjoyable exploring with you! Please join us for another adventure soon! Mahalo!
アロハ!レビューありがとうございます。楽しい時間を過ごせたことを嬉しく思います。あなたと一緒に探索できて楽しかったです!すぐに別の冒険にご参加ください!マハロ!
I was very anxious about participating alone, but I had a great time! I was really lucky this time, as I was able to see dolphins three times while swimming, and they came close to the boat on the way back and played with us, which was very moving! Next time, I want to go with friends.
During the photo session, the attendant announced loudly into the microphone that I was a solo participant, which made me feel a bit sad.
But this tour is definitely worth it!
1人参加とても不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです!
今回本当に運が良く、3回泳ぎながらイルカを見ることができたし、帰りの船に近寄ってきて一緒に泳いで遊んでくれたので、とても感動しました!
次は、友人といきたいと思いました。
写真の時は、アテンドさんがお一人様参加の方ですねと大きくマイクで言われて呼ばれたので少し悲しい気分になりました。笑
でも、このツアーは間違いなしです!

I participated with my family in their 80s, and it seems everyone had a great time. The hospitality from the staff and other participants was high, and we were blessed with good weather, making it comfortable. Tropical fish gathered around the food in our hands, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles swimming by your feet or right in front of you. I think it's also recommendable for elderly people.
**Notes:**
1. It's best to take motion sickness medication first thing in the morning before participating. A few people forgot to take it and got seasick.
2. After getting out of the water, it gets very cold on the boat, so regardless of age or health, everyone needs to wear beach towels, raincoats, or windbreakers to avoid getting cold.
3. Since it's bright, I think it would be good to bring sunglasses. If you have polarized sunglasses for fishing, you might be able to see into the water from the boat when it's sunny.
80代の家族と一緒に参加しました。とても楽しめたようでよかったです。
スタッフや参加者の方々のホスピタリティーも高く、天気にも恵まれたので快適でした。熱帯魚が手元の餌に群がり、運が良ければウミガメが足元の海底や目の前を泳いでいきます。高齢の方にもお勧めできると思います。
【注意】
①朝起きたら、まず酔い止め薬を飲んでから参加したほうがいいです。酔い止めを飲み忘れて何人か船酔いしていました。
②水から出た後、船上はとても寒いので年齢や体調に関わらず"全員"、ビーチタオルやレインコート、ウィンドブレーカーを着て体を冷やさないようにする必要があります。
③眩しいのでサングラスを持っていくとなおいいかと思います。釣り用の偏光サングラスがあれば、晴れていたら船上から海の中を見ることもできるかもしれません。
You can see various types of submerged reefs and the creatures swimming around them. There are ships, airplanes, and more. You can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, but when the captain is guiding in English and a sea turtle passes by, he cheerfully shouts "KAME! KAME!" or if there’s a shark, he’ll say "SHARK! SHARK!" When moving to the submarine by boat, if the weather is clear, you can see a beautiful view from Waikiki Beach to the mountains.
海底に沈められたいろいろなタイプの漁礁やその周りを泳ぐ生き物を見ることができます。
船、飛行機など様々です。日本語の音声ガイドをヘッドフォンで聞くこともできますが、キャプテンが英語でガイドしている時にウミガメが通ると「KAME!KAME!」とか、サメがいれば「SHARK!SHARK!」と賑やかに教えてくれます。
船で潜水艦まで移動している時は、晴れているとワイキキビーチから山まできれいに見ることができます。
Aloha! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring parts of Hawaii that most people don't get to see! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and joining in the Aloha spirit. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!ほとんどの人が見ることができないハワイの一部を探索したことを楽しんでいると聞いてうれしいです!あなたの経験を私たちと共有し、アロハスピリットに参加していただきありがとうございます。またすぐにご参加ください。マハロ!
This excursion exceeded our expectations! The crew was personally and knowledgeable about sharks and the ocean sea life. We had plenty of time in the water with the sharks because of the small group. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins 40-60 jumping out of the water traveling out to our final destination. We felt like they were putting on a show just for us. Important to note we never felt in danger while observing the sharks in the cage. Our guides were professional and patient with the timid swimmers. It was a bucket-list check off for us. We recommend an underwater camera or waterproof pouch for your iPhone. Don’t miss these amazing moments with the sharks. We will back! We highly recommend this excursion! Thanks for an incredible experience!!
I thought I would see a lot of fish and turtles since it was a submarine experience, but I might have had too high expectations. Since it's in nature, I think timing plays a role as well. The price is a bit high too. The staff was very enthusiastic and made it enjoyable.
潜水艦ということで、個人的に沢山の魚や亀がみれるとおもったが、期待しすぎていた。自然の中なので、タイミングもあると思います。値段も高いかな。スタッフさんはとても盛り上げてくれました。
Aloha! Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you expected. The ocean is often very unpredictable, and sightings of marine life can vary by time. We look forward to your valuable feedback. Please feel free to share it with the team. Mahalo!
アロハ!ご協力いただきありがとうございます。あなたが期待していたほどエキサイティングではなかったと聞いて申し訳ありません。多くの場合、海は非常に予測不能であり、水中生物の目撃は時間によって異なります。貴重なご意見をお待ちしております。ぜひチームで共有してください。マハロ!
My friend and I went on this together and it was the first time for both of us on a submarine! It was really neat getting to see the airplane and ships that were down there as well as getting the chance to see about 4 sea turtles and even a small shark! The crew was very nice and professional and we had a great time.
Mahalo for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time exploring Hawaii's marine life. We're glad you had a fun time adventuring with us. We hope you’ll join us again soon! Mahalo!
I had my elderly father and mother participate in a tour. On the day of the tour, the tour company made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived an hour early, so they didn't come to pick them up no matter how long they waited. My mother managed to think on her feet and contacted the tour company, allowing them to join the tour that was scheduled an hour later.
The day before, I had provided the emergency contact information to the tour company, yet they decided to mark them as absent simply because "they weren't at the meeting place" without properly confirming. If they had checked thoroughly, they would have realized they had mixed up the times. What would have happened if my mother hadn't contacted them?
After returning from the tour, I reached out to the tour company, but their response was, "If you were able to join the next tour..." It completely ruined what was supposed to be a meaningful trip for my parents.
高齢の父と母をツアーに参加させました。
当日、ツアー会社が集合時間を間違え1時間前のツアーの迎え時間で来てしまい、いくら待っても迎えに来ず…。母が何とか機転を利かせてツアー会社に連絡し、最初に予定していたものの1時間後のツアーに参加することが出来ました。
前日には、ツアー会社に緊急連絡先も伝えておいたのに、「集合場所にいなかったから。」という理由できちんと確認もしないまま不参加と判断するものはいかがかと。しっかり確認していれば、次の時間と間違えていたと気がついたと思います。母が連絡していなかったらどうしていたのでしょうか??
ツアーから戻って来てからツアー会社に連絡しましたが、「次のツアーに参加できたなら…。」という対応でした。
折角の親孝行旅行が台無しになってしまいました。

I ended up not being able to see dolphins in the ocean. It was my second time seeing dolphins, but it was my first time at Dolphin Junior High. This time it was very hectic, going in and out repeatedly. Since the dolphin tour is with nature, I think it's understandable whether you see them or not, but the level of satisfaction does change. I think it might be good to consider that point carefully.
イルカを海の中で見ることが出来ずに終わりました。イルカは2回目でしたが、イルカ中学は初めてでした。今回はとてもせわしなくて、ハイ入って、出て〜の繰り返し。イルカのツアーは自然相手なので、見られても見られなくても仕方ないと思いますが、やはり満足度は変わりますね。その点をよく考慮してみてもよいかと思います。

This was my second trip to Hawaii, but this time I traveled with my one-year-old child. I was looking for activities that would be enjoyable for kids, and choosing this was definitely the right decision! The staff on-site spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations, making our first interaction with dolphins a wonderful memory. Even my shy child managed to smile and get a photo with the dolphin thanks to the instructor's assistance! Next time, I want to participate in the swimming experience together.
ハワイは2回目でしたが、今回は1歳の子どもを連れて旅行。子どもでも楽しめるアクティビティを、と思っていたところ、こちらを選んで大正解!
現地には日本語を話せるスタッフの方が、丁寧に説明をしてくれて、初めてのイルカとの触れ合いがとても良い思い出になりました。
恥ずかしがり屋の子どもも、インストラクターのアテンドで笑顔でイルカとのツーショットもゲット!
今度は、一緒に泳ぐ方に参加したいと思います。
I had an early pickup at 6 AM, but when I woke up, it was already 5:51 AM!! I hurriedly got dressed and left my room, and somehow managed to make it in time for the pickup. On the bus ride there, the guide's fun explanations kept me awake and alert. When we arrived at the port, the sea was calm with hardly any waves, which surprised the guide as well. Shortly after departing, we spotted dolphins. Although the water was murky, we were able to see the dolphins without them ever coming on board. We were thrilled to see the dolphins spinning and jumping around happily. After that, we also got to see a huge turtle that looked like a rock.
The captain and crew were very kind and helpful. They guided my mother, who was snorkeling in deep water for the first time, and she was able to swim without any issues. She had been worried about swimming and seasickness, but she seemed to get used to it and was satisfied by the end. I, on the other hand, felt a bit unwell towards the end, possibly due to lack of sleep since I arrived in Hawaii the day before. I think it's better to get enough rest and prepare your body beforehand. As for photos, I was so focused on watching the dolphins that I didn't have the chance to take many. Therefore, I mostly took pictures on the boat. A professional photographer accompanied us and took photos of the dolphins, turtles, and participants. It was $50 for data sent via email and $60 for a USB purchase. Payment can be made on the day or later at the office. It is a bit pricey, but since it includes photos you can't take yourself, I think it's worth it as a keepsake. If you're considering purchasing, I recommend actively asking for photos.
Also, for those who are sensitive to the cold or worried about sunburn, I think it's better to rent a wetsuit ($10 per person). Lastly, since I also tipped, I suggest bringing extra money if you're thinking about buying photos or renting a wetsuit. I almost missed out on the tour, but I'm glad I made some great memories. If I go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to repeat this experience. Mahalo!!
朝が早く6時にピックアップでしたが、目覚めると5時51分!!
急いで着替えて部屋を出て、何とかピックアップの時間には間に合いました。
行きのバスの中では、ガイドさんの楽しい説明があり眠気など飛んでいきました。港に着くと、波がほとんどなく穏やかな海でガイドさんもびっくりしていました。出港後、すぐにイルカを発見。海が濁っていたため少し視界は悪かったですが、一度も船に上がることなく終始イルカを見ることができました。また、ご機嫌なイルカ先生のスピンやジャンプもたくさんみれて大興奮でした。その後は、岩のように大きなカメも見ることができてました。
船のキャプテン、クルーの方々もとても親切で良かったです。深い海でのシュノーケルが始めての母を誘導していましたが、特に問題なく泳ぐことができました。母は、泳ぎや船酔いの心配をしていましたが、途中から慣れてきて満足できたようです。私は、参加したのがハワイ到着日の翌日で寝不足もあってか最後に気分が悪くなってしまいました。そのため、十分に睡眠をとり体調を整えていたほうが良いと思います。写真に関しては、イルカさんを見るのに必死で取る余裕がなかったです。そのため、海の中ではほとんど撮らず船の上で撮りました。プロのカメラマンさんが同行しているので、イルカやカメさん、参加者の写真を撮影してくれます。メールへのデータ送信であれば50ドル、USBの購入であれば60ドルでした。支払いは、当日でも、後日オフィスへ支払いに行っても大丈夫です。少し値は張りますが、自分では撮れない写真も含まれているので記念になると思います。購入を考えている方は自分から積極的に写真を撮てもらうといいと思います。あと、寒さに弱い方や日焼けが気になる方は、ウエットスーツをレンタル(1人10ドル)したほうがいいと思います。
最後にチップも支払ったため、写真の購入やウエットスーツのレンタルを考えている方は、その分のお金は持参したほうがいいと思います。
危うくツアーに参加しそびれるところでしたが、いい思い出ができてよかったです。また、ハワイに行くことがあれば是非リピートしたいと思います。
マハロ!!

We had an early morning pickup. We drove in the dark and headed to the coast while watching the sunrise. I thought we would only see turtles and dolphins from a distance. We missed the dolphins, but surprisingly, a turtle came up from the seabed right in front of us and almost collided with us! The photos we purchased separately were attached to an email, and it’s clear that professional shots are better. There were turtles and dolphins captured from positions other than ours. Oh, and the spam onigiri for a light snack was delicious. I've had many, but it was very much to the taste of Japanese people. I wonder where they sell it? Custom-made? I would love to participate again. Thank you, dolphins and everyone!
朝早いピックアップでした。暗いうちに走り朝日見ながら海岸へ行きました。 かめイルカ遠目にみるぐらいだろうなーと思っていました。 イルカはタイミングあいませんでしたがかめはなんと私たち前に海底から上がってきてぶつかりそうで避けました。別購入の写真はメール添付なのでやはりプロが撮ったほうがいいですね。自分たち以外の位置のかめやイルカが映ってました。 あっ軽食のスパムおにぎり美味しかったです。数々食べてますがとても日本人向け。どこに売ってるんだろ?特注? また参加したいです。 いるかさん皆さんありがとう!

Due to the last-minute change in schedule, I was filled with anxiety, receiving a call early one morning while still in Japan asking, "I plan to participate today, what’s going on?" and having several exchanges to confirm the changed itinerary. However, the customer service representative was very kind and helpful.
On the day of the event, I was picked up in Waikiki at 11:25. Perhaps due to the timing, there were only a few participants on the large bus. We went straight to Sea Life Park with staff who were expressionless and silent. Once we arrived, the explanation was provided by a Japanese guide, so there was no confusion. However, I was disappointed to find that while the bus was scheduled to gather at 16:45, the park closed at 16:00. I later saw the closing time in the Q&A section, but I felt that such an important detail should be included in the schedule that everyone can see.
Before making the reservation, I asked, "If I participate in the 13:45 encounter, which shows can I see?" but received a complete copy of the schedule from the website. I didn’t feel any kindness in that response. In the end, the only show I could see was the dolphin show.
The price for photos was surprisingly high at 6,000 yen, and like the closing time, I felt it should be clearly displayed for everyone to see.
Although it was a highly rated tour, considering the price and the enjoyment I had, I think once is enough. I also feel that it wasn’t necessary to do this in Hawaii.
今回はギリギリに時間変更をした事もあり、まだ日本にいる全く別の日の早朝「今日参加予定ですがどうなっていますか?」と電話が来たり、変更した日程確認で何度かやり取りが発生したりと、不安でいっぱいでしたが、カスタマーの窓口の方にはとても親切にご対応いただけました。
当日11:25ワイキキお迎え。時間帯のせいか、大型バスに参加者ちらほら。無表情で無言のスタッフと共にシーライフパークへ直行。
ついてからは日本人のガイドの方の説明でしたので、迷う事は無かったのですが、バス集合16:45に対して閉園が16:00と何だかガッカリ。後にQ&Aに閉園時間についてありましたが、こんな大切な事は誰もが観れるスケジュールに掲載するべきだと感じました。
予約前にも「13:45エンカウンターに参加した場合、どのショーが観れますか?」と質問するも、HPのスケジュールをまるまる転記。全く親切心が感じられませんでした。結果観れたのはイルカショーのみでした。
写真が6000円と驚く程高く、先程の閉園時間と一緒で、誰もが一目で確認出来るよう掲載すべきと感じました。
評価の高いツアーでしたが、価格と楽しんだ時間で考えると一度行けば十分です。特にハワイで行かなくても良かったとも思っています。
Although you can't see the grand ocean scenery like in a painting, you can enjoy a surreal underwater world at the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" attraction in Tokyo DisneySea! It's especially recommended for those who are not good at swimming and don't want to dive! However, if you're prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. I also tend to get seasick, but I prepared in advance based on prior information, so I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery until the end!
絵に描いたような壮大な海の中の様子は見れませんが、非日常の世界をリアルな海の中をディズニーシーにある海底二万マイルというアトラクションにのように楽しめました!
泳ぎが苦手でダイビングはやりたくないなぁって方は特にオススメです!
ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め飲んでおくと安心です!私も船酔いしやすいですが、前情報から酔い対策してたので最後まで楽しく海底を鑑賞できました!
Aloha! We're glad you enjoyed the cruise at such a unique and beautiful location in Waikiki. Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations. We hope to see you again in the future. Mahalo!

This time, I participated with my two grandchildren. They were thrilled to gradually dive underwater. We enjoyed the rarely seen seabed. One disappointment was the condition of the headphones...
今回二人の孫と参加しました。徐々に潜水していく様子に孫たちは大喜びでした。滅多に見れない海底を堪能しました。
一つ残念なのは、ヘッドフォンの調子が…
My fiancée and I had a great Oahu experience. The team on board made us very comfortable and explained each step with detail. They chose a great site to go in at and the personal attention when in the water was amazing. Hats off to the crew.
So glad we chose Haleiwa Shark Tours/Three Local Boys! Only had six people on boat and cage held six people! We never had to get out of cage! Saw between 10-20 sharks, hard to tell exactly because there was ALWAYS 4-6 in view! The captain and his mate, terrible at names but think Captain was Chris, both very knowledge about history of island and pointed them out as we were going to drop spot. Felt very comfortable in cage - anybody can do this! I'd love to back tomorrow, but we are leaving. HIGHLY recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours
The crew was sensational! I loved their friendliness, easy-going American attitude and care for their passengers.
We loved the afternoon and were fortunate to see some wildlife.
Highly recommended.
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 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。
イルカは見えましたが泳ぐのが早くすぐに通り過ぎていきましたが満足です
カメが手が届きそうな所でゆっくりと泳ぐ姿に感動しました。

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。
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 went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.
2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing many whales. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

I had se opportunity to get really close to the fishes and turtles I just would like to see corals. Also the scootter was too noisy when moving other than that everything was perfect.
Fortunately, I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles. I was impressed by the animals, the beautiful fish, and the mountains visible from the boat. The staff were very kind, and the children were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. As a parent, I was worried about swimming with my small child in the ocean, but thanks to the support of the staff, we were able to see many dolphins. Thank you very much.
Personally, I doze off during the important briefing on the bus in the early morning, and I regret not paying more attention.
ラッキーにもイルカも海ガメも見ることができました☆
動物たちにも綺麗な魚もにも、船から見える山々にも感激しました。
スタッフの皆さんもとても優しく、子供たちも安心してツアーを楽しんでいました。
親としても海の中で小さな子供を連れて泳ぐのも心配でしたが、スタッフの方々がフォローして下さったおかげで、たくさんのイルカが見ることができました。
ありがとうございました。
個人的には早朝のバスの中での重要事項の説明にはウトウトしてしまい、もっとちゃんと聞いておけばよかったと反省です。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School this time. If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, please feel free to visit the Dolphin School. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加いただきありがとうございました。また是非ハワイにいらっしゃる機会がございましたらイルカの学校に遊びにいらしてくださいね、MAHALO!!
Me and my friend first agreed to do a caged experience with the sharks, but I'm so glad we chose to do it without the cage! It was a better experience. The guides were helpful and experienced, and we luckily saw a Tiger shark! We did this on our last day in Hawaii and it wound up being the best part of our trip!
