All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

thought that the imax theater, while beautiful in technique, was political in nature and not needed. that was the only downside to our adventure.

This was a very enjoyable experience, staff on board were very accomodating.

I was filled with excitement!

As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.

The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!

I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!

I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!

ワクワクしっぱなしでした☆
内容としては、
？出航して少しすると、「早く早く！！」とせかされながら海へ。
？ローカルスタッフの方が、「右！左！下！」とか言って下さるので、その方向を見れば、イルカが沢山！！
？イルカが遠くに行ってしまうと、船にあがり、また移動して海へ。（今回は三回海に入りました）
？次のスポットに移動。
？魚や海がめと泳ぐ。カヌー体験
？上記で40分ほど遊んだあと、チーズバーガーを食べながら　寄港。
？陸上で30分ほどフラ体験。

水の透明度はあまり高くなかったですが、まるで映像のように目の前に沢山のイルカが！！
イルカの話し声が聞こえます！
イルカが目の前でジャンプします！

海ガメは、運よく二頭を目の前に見ることができました。
距離としては触れるくらい！

金額もあの内容なら高くないと思います。
スタッフの方も皆さん親切な方で、運転も安全で、帰りもよく眠れました。次もまた参加したいような充実感です！
いつか子供が生まれたら、参加させてあげたい！
みなさん、お勧めします！

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

It was a great experiance. My family and I had a blast. The food was outrageously great!!!! Our guide kouli was great. He gave us the greatest tour ive ever had in my life. He had a wealth of knowlege of all the islands

It was a good trip, the Arizona Memorial was awe-inspiring, the USS Missouri tour informed me of things I didn't. Also since it was the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty, they were sprucing it up. A little disappointed couldn't get out in Punchbowl or downtown, but time constraints may have played a part in that.

Overall it was excellent, our tour guide was well informed and easy to understand.

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.

When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.

Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!

　「ドルフィン＆ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。

　最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇！
　自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます！しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。

　それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。
　「ドルフィン＆ユー」さん、ありがとうございました！

i throughly enjoyed not only the cruise itself but the entertainment and the food were fantastic.

Very entertaining and educational. Was an enjoyable experience. Thanks..

Good show, starts slowly

We participated as a couple. I had been curious about the sandbar for a long time, and when I found it through a campaign this time, I made a reservation without hesitation. There were quite a few people participating, and we departed from the Kaneohe Bay harbor on two boats. While circling the beautiful sea where we could see the mountains of Kualoa and Chinaman's Hat, we spotted wild sea turtles from the boat. I had imagined the sandbar would be close to the land, but in reality, it suddenly exists in the middle of the ocean, quite far from the shore, surrounded by nothing, and it was more beautiful than I had expected, like a different world! The sea and sand were beautiful, resembling a private beach, and although the time was short, it was a precious experience. We went snorkeling, but there were hardly any fish. A group of older men and women who were on the same boat seemed to be looking forward to playing on the sandbar, but the distance from where the boat stopped to the sandy beach was close, yet the depth was not shallow enough to walk in with clothes on, so they ended up waiting on the boat while everyone else played, which was quite unfortunate. However, the wonderful experience that can only be had here is something I highly recommend! The water is shallow, so it's also recommended for children!

夫婦で参加しました。以前からサンドバーがずっと気になってましたが、今回キャンペーンで見つけ迷わず予約しました。かなり沢山の方が参加していて、カネオへ湾の港から２艘の船で出発しました。クアロアの山々やチャイナマンズハットが見える綺麗な海をぐるっと周りながら、途中野生のウミガメを船の上から見ました。サンドバーは、陸から近い所にあるのを想像してましたが、実際は陸からだいぶ離れた周りに何も無い海の真ん中に突如存在し、そこだけ別世界の様で思っていた以上に綺麗でした！！海も砂も美しくプライベートビーチの様で、時間は短めでしたが貴重な体験が出来ました。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚はほとんどいませんでした。同じ船に乗ってきた年配の男女数名のグループの方たちが、海には入れないがサンドバーに降りて遊ぶのを楽しみにしてたみたいですが、船が停まった場所から砂浜までの距離が、近いけれど深さが洋服のまま行ける深さでは無く結局サンドバーに降りれずにみんなが遊んでる間船の上で待っていたのがとても可哀想でした。でもここでしか味わえない素晴らしさなので、ぜひ参加して欲しいです！海も浅いので子供さんにもオススメですよ！

the kayaking excursion was awesome. i got to learn a lot about the native birds and animals of hawaii plus the scenery was beautiful!

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr

The Arizona and Missouri Tour was a great exprience and we learned alot about our nations history.

My husband and I brought our two sons to Oahu for the very first time. The PCC was beautiful, and we enjoyed it so much! The luau was awesome! We hope to return next year!!

Last year, I participated and my wife liked it so much that we applied for a second time. I thought the staff's response was good as well. We were satisfied to encounter dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.

昨年参加して妻が気に入ってしまい、2回目の申し込みをしました。スタッフの対応もよかったと思います。イルカ、亀、熱帯魚と遭遇して満足できました。

The tour guide and bus drivers were very nice.

There are many tours where you can see wild dolphins, but Dolphin & You is truly recommended. The staff's response is polite, and they can communicate in Japanese, of course. The local staff are kind, so even those who are afraid of the ocean can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.

The snorkeling after seeing the dolphins is enjoyable even for those who have dived at various points before. It has a charm different from diving.

The DVD I purchased turned out great, and it's a wonderful memory. I definitely want to go to Hawaii again and participate!

野生のイルカと会えるっていうツアーは沢山あるけど、ドルフィン＆ユーは本当におすすめです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧、日本語ももちろん通じるし、現地スタッフの方も心優しくて、海が怖い方も安心して楽しめると思います。
イルカを見たあとのシュノーケリングは、今までダイビングでいろいろなポイントに潜ったことがある方でも、充分楽しめると思います。ダイビングとは違った魅力がありました。

購入したＤＶＤもいい出来で、とてもいい思い出です。
またぜひハワイに行って参加したいです！！

We participated as a family of five (husband and wife + 8-year-old + 5-year-old + grandmother, 63 years old). I was worried because the children couldn't swim, but it was no problem at all. It happened to be my eldest son's birthday that day, and I was concerned about whether we would see dolphins, but a dolphin came close to my son, and he was overjoyed! After that, we also encountered turtles and beautiful tropical fish. It truly became a wonderful birthday memory. The staff were very kind, and I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises!

ファミリー５人で参加しました。
（夫婦＋８歳＋５歳＋おばあちゃん６３歳）
子供たちが泳げないので不安でしたが全然問題なかったです。ちょうどこの日は長男の誕生日、イルカに逢えるか心配でしたが長男の近くまでイルカが来てくれて大喜びでした！
その後に亀やきれいな熱帯魚にも逢えました。本当に良い誕生日の思い出になりました。スタッフの皆さんもとっても親切でまた機会があったら参加したいです！

I participated with a friend on July 19. It was my first time snorkeling and swimming with dolphins, so I was a bit anxious, but it was incredibly fun.

On the day, we weren't able to see many dolphins, but I was really happy that the staff worked hard to find spots where we could see them. Since they are wild dolphins, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them, but we were satisfied to see at least a few.

The hamburgers they grilled on the boat were also really delicious, and it became a wonderful memory. Moreover, everyone on the staff, including Yuriko, was truly kind, and we had a great time.

Thank you very much. I would definitely love to participate again.

7/19に友人と二人で参加しました。私はシュノーケルもイルカと泳ぐのも初めてだったので、少々不安もありましたが、すごーーーく楽しかったです。
当日はあまりイルカを見る事ができなかったのですが、私たちにイルカを見せてくれようとスタッフの皆さんが一生懸命になってイルカのいるスポットを探してくれたのがとても嬉しかったです。
野生のイルカなので必ずしも会えるとは限らないのですが、結果的に少しでも見れて私たちは満足です。
船の上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーもすごく美味しくて、本当によい思い出になりました。それにユリコさんをはじめスタッフの皆さんも本当によい方ばかりでとっても楽しかったです。
どうもありがとうございました。また是非参加させてもらいたいです。

It was a very good and unique experience for both of us. The only thing that I think you should include in your website or ads is to tell them that it can be draining since it is a whole day affair. We were both exhausted due to long walks and the humid weather. Otherwise, very good!

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.

I participated with a close friend. Since it was both of our first time in Hawaii, we were looking for activities where we could see dolphins, but I was a bit worried because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The Japanese guide, Keiko, and the local staff were all very cheerful and kind. This time, based on the captain's decision, we descended the stairs of a catamaran and followed a pod of dolphins while holding onto a rope. I thought I wouldn't be able to chase the dolphins while snorkeling, so this was an unexpected and wonderful method! I heard that now, to protect baby dolphins, they swim fast and it's hard to keep up with them while snorkeling. I was so impressed by the staff who tried to show us the dolphins up close! There were plenty of dolphins, and it was a wonderful time. At the snorkeling spot, there were also turtles, and everyone was really enjoying themselves. The hamburgers were very delicious, and the hula dance lesson was fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

仲良しの友だちとふたりで参加しました。
ふたりとも初ハワイだったのでイルカに会えるアクティヴィティを探していたんですが、泳ぎに自信がない私は少々心配もありました。
日本人ガイドのkeikoさんもロコのスタッフさんもとっても朗らかな良い方ばかりでしたし、今回は船長さんの判断でカタマランという船の階段に降り、ロープにつかまったままイルカの群れを追って見る方法でした。私はシュノーケルでイルカを追うのはできないなぁ…と思っていたので願ってもいない方法でした！今は赤ちゃんイルカを守るためにスピードが速くなかなかスノーケリングでは追いつけないそうです。なんとか近くで見せてくれようと考えてくださったスタッフに感激！イルカの数もいっぱいで素敵な時間でした。
スノーケルのポイントでは亀もいてみんな本当に楽しんでいました。
ハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったし、フラダンスレッスンもおもしろかったです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

The employees are all very nice and a lot of fun, the food was delicious, and the shows were great.

This was an excellent tour and well worth the money! Our bus driver/tour guide was outstanding! Garfield was very knowledgeable with the sites and history of both the city tour as well as being our guide on the Uss Missouri. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii.

Our guide was very informative. We loved learning more about each culture and participating in the activities. The food at the luau was fantastic and the entertainment was wonderful. The Horizons show was incredible.

I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to all who come to Hawaii. Thank you so much for this experience.

I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass

We all had a great time and I cannot say enough on how wonderful all the crew members are! They were all very attentive and helpful as well. My sister had never been snorkeling before and they had her swimming around and looking at fish in in no time. The area is also beautiful too and how cool was it to hang out on the sand bar in the middle of the bay?! Great time!
