It's a great experience for three generations, including seniors and those in their 70s. Highly recommended! 年長さんと70代の３世代での参加です。おすすめです！

Reviewed by: ぴょんぴょん星人

I found this review very helpful, so I’d like to share my thoughts as well.

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter, who just turned six, and my parents in their 70s, making it a three-generation outing.

Renting a wetsuit was essential, especially for slim individuals, children, and the elderly. It gets surprisingly cold floating in the sea for a long time without a wetsuit, and after seeing the dolphins, when the boat moves to the snorkeling spot, it’s really cold with the wind on a wet body. By the way, it was sunny at the end of June. Everyone on the trip was wearing one.

My daughter wore a swimsuit, a short-sleeve rash guard, rash leggings, and a rented wetsuit that was long-sleeved and shorts. Even with that, she was shivering and had blue lips after getting out of the water. I thought maybe I should have gotten her a thicker, warmer long-sleeve and long-pants rash guard. Since children are just floating and not swimming hard, they get colder more easily.

After snorkeling, my daughter was so cold that she wanted to take off her wet swimsuit immediately, so she quickly changed into her regular clothes on the boat while shivering, put on a windbreaker, and finally stopped shivering once she wore a down jacket. I think it would be reassuring to bring a compact ultra-down jacket from Uniqlo for children who get cold easily.

A children's pool towel with a hood and snaps is convenient for changing anywhere. A super absorbent, quick-drying, ultra-thin chamois towel was also very handy. No matter how many beach towels you have from the hotel, it’s never enough.

By the way, my daughter could do a face-down flutter kick and had her first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay the day before. My husband went into the sea first, and the staff helped lower my daughter from the boat, where my husband caught her below. From the boat to the water's surface, it’s close enough that you can sit and your feet won’t reach, but it’s not a scary height. Everyone else jumped in from standing, but since we were last in line, my mother and I sat down and slipped into the sea. They also provide floatation devices. The support and encouragement from the staff were experienced and made me feel really safe while snorkeling.

I recommend the dissolvable motion sickness tablets. I usually get seasick even with a float, but this time I was perfectly fine.

Juri, the class representative, was just like a class representative should be—very caring and someone you can rely on. I was really satisfied with the thoughtful consideration and kindness she showed, and I’m so glad I participated. The bus ride was refreshing and fun, with a very clear guide. I made truly wonderful memories.

I will definitely choose Dolphin Academy again next time! Thank you very much!

今回、こちらの口コミをとても参考にさせていただきましたので、私の感想も少しのせてみますね。

6歳になったばかりの年長さんの娘と、70代の両親と３世代での参加です。

ウェットスーツのレンタルは必須でした。特に細身の方。お子様やお年寄り。必須です！
海で長時間浮かんでいるのも、ウェットスーツが無いと、思いのほか寒くなってくるので耐えられないのと、イルカを見た後、船がシュノーケルスポットへ移動する時も、濡れた体で風を受けるので、ウェットスーツ着ていないと寒くて無理です！
ちなみに6月末で晴天です。　
参加者全員着用してました。

娘は水着+半袖ラッシュガード+ラッシュレギンス+レンタルのウェットスーツは長袖半ズボンで、それでも海から上がるとガタガタ震えて唇青くて。。
もっと上下厚手の保温タイプの長袖長ズボンラッシュにしてあげれば良かったかな～くらいな感じです。子供は特に浮かんでいるだけなので、一生懸命泳がないから余計寒いのですね。

シュノーケルが終わると、娘は寒すぎて、濡れた水着をすぐに脱ぎたがりましたので、船上で震えながらもパパッと普段着に着替え、防風ウィンドブレーカーをはおり、更にダウンジャケットでようやく震えが止まった様子。
寒がりなお子様にはコンパクトなユ○クロのウルトラダウンみたいなのを是非念のためお持ちになると安心だと思います。

フードやスナップのついた子供用のプールタオルは何処でもお着替えが出来て便利。
タオルも超吸水、超速乾、超薄のセームタオルが便利でした。ホテルのビーチタオルでは何枚あっても足りません。

ちなみに娘は顔付ばた足が出来る程度で、前日にハナウマ湾で初めてシュノーケルを経験した所。
パパが先に海におりて、船上からスタッフの方に娘を抱き下ろしてもらい、パパが下で受け取る形。船から水面は、座って足は届かないけれど、かなり近いです。皆さん立って足から飛び降りる感じですが、順番の最後だったので、私や母は座ってから、足からスルッと海に降りました。怖くない高さです。
浮き棒等貸して下さいます。
サポートも声掛けもベテランで、本当に安心してシュノーケル出来ました。

舐めるタイプの酔止めはおすすめです。普段浮き輪でも酔う私ですが、今回はバッチリでした。

学級委員のじゅりさんが、まさに学級委員って感じで、とっても面倒見がよくて思わず頼りたくなる本当に素敵な方で、細やかな配慮と優しい気配りで、こちらに参加して本当に良かったと大満足でした。
バスの中でも爽やかで楽しくて、とても分かりやすいガイドをして頂きました。本当に素敵な思い出が出来ました。

また次回も必ずイルカ中学を選びます！本当にありがとうございました！

Definitely worth a visit! 行く価値あり！

Reviewed by: ジャン

This was my second time participating, and I was once again very satisfied! I was able to swim with many dolphins. I'm usually scared to swim in the ocean where I can't touch the bottom, but in this activity, I had zero fear. For those who are anxious about swimming, they provide not only life jackets but also floatation devices, which is reassuring. It seems that swimming with spinner dolphins is something you can only do in Hawaii, so I highly recommend it. Our guide, Juli, was also fun and lively! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

二度目の参加でしたが、今回も大満足でした！
たくさんのイルカと一緒に泳げました。
私は足が届かない海では怖くて泳げないのですが、このアクティビティでは恐怖心ゼロでした。泳ぎに不安がある人には、ライフジャケットの他に浮き棒も貸してくれるので安心です。ハシナガイルカと泳げるのは世界中でハワイだけらしいので、本当におススメです。
ガイドのじゅりさんも楽しく盛り上げてくれました！ハワイに行ったら絶対また参加したいです！

It was a lucky day. ラッキーな日でした

Reviewed by: haru

A trip to Hawaii with my friend's family. I was the only one who wanted to swim with dolphins, so I felt anxious but decided to sign up anyway. My worries while waiting for the pickup bus were blown away by the guide's Japanese. All the participants were Japanese as well, and they were all cheerful and friendly, which made me feel even more at ease!

The one-hour ride was never boring thanks to the lively talk from our guide, Julie (a cheerful Japanese woman). The weather was great, the boat was stable, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the west coast of Hawaii. I got to see plenty of dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish, which was thrilling and moving!

The staff were not only cheerful but also maintained safety properly, which made me feel secure. Typically, I am satisfied after one experience, but this time I found myself wanting to participate again.

友人家族とのハワイ旅行。
イルカと泳ぎたいのは、自分1人だったので不安ながらも申し込みました。
ピックアップしてくれるバスを待っている間の不安は、ガイドの方の日本語で吹き飛びました。参加者も全員日本人で、しかも陽気な良い方ばかりでさらに安心！
1時間の車内は、ガイドのジュリー（元気な日本女性）のトークで飽きないし、天気も良くて船も揺れが少なくて、ハワイ西海岸の景色を満喫しました。イルカも亀も熱帯魚もたっぷりと見れて、感動・興奮！
スタッフ達も陽気なだけじゃなく、キチンと安全をキープしてくれてて、安心出来ました。
大体なんでも、1度で満足する自分が、また参加したいと思いました。

"Dolphin Middle School with my 5-year-old daughter" 5歳の娘とイルカ中学

Reviewed by: ふじさん

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and dad!

We were picked up early in the morning from a nearby hotel, and our guide, Julie, was so energetic and fun. I learned a lot of interesting facts about dolphins.

I thought I could swim, but then I realized I had never swum in the ocean with a current before. At first, I couldn't really take care of my daughter, but Julie helped watch her, and gradually I was able to use the fins and keep up (sweating a bit).

We encountered dolphins three times, with as many as ten at one point. I brought an underwater camera, but the professional photographer dove down for us and was great at getting close to the dolphins and sea turtles. So, instead of floundering around, it might be wiser to pay about $50 and enjoy being photographed, then buy the professional pictures (since you'll want them anyway).

Anyway, Julie was great at keeping us entertained, and my daughter was totally into it, even participating in the final diving competition. It became a wonderful memory!

5歳娘とパパと三人で参加しました！

早朝に近くのホテルから拾ってもらい、テンション高いジュリさんのガイドっぷりも楽しく、イルカの豆知識も勉強になりました。

泳げるつもりでしたが、考えたら潮の流れのある沖で泳いだことはなく、娘の面倒を最初はほとんど見る事が出来なかったけど、ジュリさんが娘を見てくれ、徐々にフィンを使って進めるようになり何とかついて行けました（汗）

イルカには3回遭遇出来、多い時で10頭でした。水中でも撮れるカメラ持参でしたけど、プロのカメラマンさんは潜ってくれますし、イルカやウミガメのそばに行くのも上手なので、バタバタする位なら、50ドルほど払いますが、写される事を楽しんで、プロの写真を買った方が賢明かもしれません。（どうせ、欲しくなりますから）

とにかく、楽しませるのが上手で、娘はすっかりノリノリで、最後のダイビング大会も参加する始末。
良い思い出になりました！

I was able to see dolphins, but... イルカは見れたけど…

Reviewed by: tamala

I was moved to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. The tour guide is energetic, which I think can be polarizing. After getting on the boat, there was a feeling of forced excitement, and those who want to genuinely enjoy the activity might feel put off. However, the staff were generally nice, but I had some doubts about the Japanese cameraman's attitude. I admit I struggled to understand the intent behind his questions and had to ask him to repeat himself several times, but saying "That's enough" in Kansai dialect was inappropriate. I was left feeling uncomfortable as I didn't know him well. I've participated in snorkeling tours many times in the past, and I felt a lack of professionalism this time. By the way, if you don't take measures against seasickness and cold, the return trip can be tough, so it's important to prepare properly.

野生のイルカとウミガメ見れて感動しました。ツアーガイドはエネルギッシュなので好き嫌い分れると思います。船に乗った後は無理やり盛り上げてる感があって純粋にアクティビティを楽しみたいと思って参加する人はしらける方もいるかもしれないですが、スタッフの皆さんはいい感じでいいか…と思いきや担当した日本人のカメラマンの対応に疑問を感じました。話しかけられて質問の意図が分からなくて何回か聞き直してしまった自分にも非がありますが関西弁で『もうええわ』はないです。知り合いや仲良くもないのになぜこんな態度を取られるのか不快な思いしか残りませんでした。過去に何度もシュノーケリングツアーに参加してきましたがプロ精神に欠けていると感じました。ちなみに船酔い対策と寒さ対策はしないと帰りがキツいのでしっかりとしなきゃ厳しいです。

Reviewed by: 店長！

It was an early morning tour, but since I had plans to go to Ala Moana in the afternoon, I opted for the morning tour. I was really sleepy, but our guide, Julie, was super energetic despite the early hour! She talked non-stop, and before I knew it, we had arrived at the marina.

She mentioned on the bus that seeing dolphins in the wild can vary; sometimes you see them right away, and other times you might search for over three hours without spotting any. I was a bit anxious as we left the marina, and although the waves were quite high and the boat was rocking, we started with a ceremonial Hawaiian song to meet the dolphins and tossed plumeria flowers into the sea. Thanks to that, we quickly encountered dolphins! We saw several dorsal fins breaking the surface! We hurriedly prepared our snorkeling gear and dove into the water! The visibility wasn't great, probably due to the high waves, but we managed to encounter some dolphins!

Swimming was quite tiring, but I thought of it as good exercise, and it was worth the effort. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling. Again, the visibility wasn't very good, but we encountered many sea turtles! A photographer who was underwater took my camera and captured close-up shots of the turtles.

Captain Gian (a famous former lifeguard) and his daughter, who claims to be part of the EXILE crew, along with our guide Julie, who was at her maximum energy level, made for an entertaining and enjoyable time! Thank you!

あさが早めのツアーでしたが、午後からアラモアナに行く予定があった為午前のツアーにしました。めっちゃ眠たかったですがガイドのジュリちゃんのテンションが早朝に関わらずMAX!!喋りっぱなしで気が付いたらマリーナへ着いていました。
自然のイルカなのですぐ見れる時と3時間以上探しても見れない時もあるとバスの中で言っていたのでどーかなぁ〜？と思いながらマリーナを出て、波は中々高く船は揺れいましたが、まず出航してからイルカに会う為の儀式的なハワイ語の歌、プルメリアの花を海に投げ入れお願いしたおかげか、すぐにイルカに会えました！水面にイルカの背鰭が何個も！早々にシュノーケルの準備をして海へダイブ！波が高かったせいかあまり透明度はありませんでしたが、何とかイルカに遭遇！
泳ぐのは結構疲れますがいいエクササイズと思いながら頑張ったかいが有りました。
その後ポイントを変えてのシュノーケルやはり透明度は余り無かったですが沢山の海亀に遭遇！水中カメラマンの方が、私の水中カメラを持って潜ってくれて、至近距離のカメを撮ってきてくれました。

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: ルンルン

We participated as a family! We were anxious because we hardly speak English and my mother is not a good swimmer, but the Japanese instructor Musashi was cheerful and provided excellent support, even swimming with those who couldn't swim. We could borrow float boards for free, so there were no issues.

Of course, since we needed to swim towards the dolphins, it was better to be able to swim to see many dolphins, but even without swimming skills, we were able to see them properly this time. The dolphins were wild and not accustomed to humans, so they didn't come close. I was worried about whether we could swim together with them.

They guided us to a total of three spots, and at the last spot, we were able to see many dolphins up close, and they swam alongside us, which was truly moving. I think they were about one meter away. We were able to take videos with an underwater camera and took lots of photos!

After that, we went to a snorkeling spot while viewing power spots from the boat. The snorkeling was in a very clear area with a depth of about four meters. There, we were able to see a large sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed it.

One thing to be careful about is that the sea is deep, so the seawater temperature is cold. Additionally, it gets even colder on the boat due to the wind. It's better to bring a bath towel or a windbreaker.

Finally, we all danced the hula, and there was an explanation that made us think about ocean environmental issues, so I felt glad to have participated in the tour.

親子で参加しました！
私たちは英語がほぼ話せないことと、母は泳ぎが得意ではないので、不安でしたが日本人のインストラクタームサシさんは明るくて、泳げない人も一緒に泳いでくれサポート万全で、浮きボードも無料で借りられて問題なかったです。
もちろん、イルカのところに人間が向かっていく必要があるので、多くのイルカに会うためには、泳げるに越したことはないですが、泳げなくても、今回はちゃんと見ることができました。
イルカは野生で人馴れしていないため寄って来るという感じではなかったです。
なので、近くで一緒に泳げるのか不安でした。

全部で3箇所のスポットを案内してくれたのですが、最後のスポットではたくさんのイルカが間近で見れて、まさに一緒に泳いでくれて、感激しました。
距離的に1メートルくらいの近さだったと思います。
水中カメラで動画も撮れたし、写真もいっぱい撮れました！
その後、船上からパワースポットなどを見ながらシュノーケリングスポットへ。
シュノーケリングも透明度の高い場所で水深4メートルほどあったと思います。そこでも大きなウミガメを見ることができて満喫できました。
注意したほうがいいのは、海が深いので、海水温度が冷たいです。そして、船上は風が吹くのでさらに冷えます。バスタオルや、ウインドブレーカーなどを持参した方が良いです。
最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊り、海の環境問題を考えさせられる説明もあって、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。

I was a bit anxious being alone, but Julie was bright and kind in her response. I had wanted to join a dolphin swimming tour for a long time, but I never had a friend to go with me. This time, I came to Hawaii alone for the first time and decided to participate without hesitation. I was worried about not being able to swim well, not having much experience with snorkeling, and not being young anymore, but my strong desire to see the dolphins helped me get through it. Thank you so much to Julie, of course, to the warm Papa, to Brandon who led us, and to Mele who took beautiful photos!

ひとりで少し不安でしたが ジュリさんが明るく優しく対応してくれました。
ずっ〜と前からイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したかったのですが中々同行してくれる友人がいなく、今回初めてひとりでハワイに来ることになり、迷わず参加しました。

I was not confident in my swimming skills and was anxious about my stamina, but the instructor provided excellent support. It was clear that they were paying close attention to each participant. The conversations on the bus were also very enjoyable, and we arrived in no time. The dolphins appeared right away! We also got to see many sea turtles. I never imagined I could swim with so many dolphins and sea turtles. Just the amazing location alone was more than satisfying, but it was the warmth of the crew that truly healed me. Especially the instructor, J, who is half Japanese and half Hawaiian, was beautiful. Thank you so much. It became the best memory. There seemed to be many repeat customers, and I completely understand why. With the best ocean and crew, I will definitely come back again!

Reviewed by: さゆまるたろう

I saw a lot of dolphins! I was able to swim with them! When the captain spots a dolphin, he immediately calls for us to jump into the sea. During the first three attempts, we couldn't encounter any dolphins, but on the fourth try, we hit the jackpot! I think I swam with the dolphins for about two minutes. It was really moving. However, it requires quite a bit of stamina, and by the time we went snorkeling with the sea turtles, I was completely exhausted and quickly got back on the boat. Also, it gets quite cold on the boat. You can rent a wetsuit for $10, so I think it's a good idea to prepare one in advance.

イルカ、沢山見られました！一緒に泳げました！
船長さんがイルカを見つけたらすぐ海に入るよう声が掛かります。最初の3回は中々イルカと鉢合わせられませんでしたが、4回目はバッチリ！2分くらいイルカと一緒に泳いでいたんじゃないかなぁと思います。すごく感動しました。でも結構体力が必要で、ウミガメシュノーケリングの時間にはヘトヘトになってしまい、とっとと船に上がってしまいました。あと、船上はかなり寒いです。10ドルでウェットスーツ借りられるので、用意して行くと良いと思います。

A lifetime of memories☆ 一生の思い出☆

Reviewed by: つくつく

Under the clear blue sky, I boarded the boat welcomed by a genuine Hawaiian captain and a cheerful crew. Just as we were about to leave the harbor, we encountered a sea turtle right away! And to our surprise, we also saw a pod of dolphins, which is quite rare. We were able to see dolphins several times afterward, and when I jumped into the sea, dolphins were swimming right in front of me. I was truly moved by that sight! The water was so clear that I could see them well. After that, we moved to another spot and met more sea turtles. I was once again touched by the graceful, slow swimming of the turtles! The beautiful, rich sea of Hawaii, the deep blue sky, and the vibrant mountain scenery were so healing that I felt like crying.

The spam onigiri we had for lunch was also delicious. Finally, we danced hula with the crew on the boat. That was really fun too.

It became a treasured memory for a lifetime. I’m really glad I participated. Lastly, Aino, the Japanese staff member, was friendly, and her smile was very lovely and cute. I felt very reassured that I could communicate in Japanese. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! 😊

快晴の空の下、生粋のハワイアンの船長さんや明るくて陽気なクルーさんに迎えられて船に乗り込みました。ハーバーを出ようとしたところ、早速ハーバーの中で海亀に遭遇！そしてなんとイルカの群れにも遭遇しました。大変珍しいそうです。その後もイルカの群れに何回も遭遇できて、すぐに海に飛び込むと目の前にイルカが泳いでいました。その光景に心から感動！海の透明度が高いのでしっかりと見ることができました。その後、場所を移動して海亀にも会えました。優雅にゆっくりと泳ぐ海亀にまたまた感動！ハワイの美しい豊かな海、真っ青な空、鮮やかな山の景色に涙が出そうなくらい癒やされました。
お昼ごはんとして頂いたスパムおにぎりも美味しかったです。最後にクルーの方達とフラを船上で踊りました。
それも本当に楽しかったです。
一生の宝物の思い出になりました。
本当に参加して良かったです。
最後に、日本人スタッフさんのあいのさんがフレンドリーで笑顔がとても素敵でキュートでした。
やっぱり日本語が通じるのはとても心強いと思いました。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Possibly the most memorable experience on our trip!

Reviewed by: Sandy R

This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!

An emotional experience!! 感動的な体験！！

Reviewed by: イルカラブ

We were traveling with a 2-year-old, but my mother watched him on the boat, and my husband and I participated in snorkeling together. It started off a bit gloomy with rain in Waikiki early in the morning, but we arrived after about an hour to beautiful weather! Luckily, we were able to see a sea turtle even before boarding the boat. Shortly after departure, we encountered dolphins and hurried into the water! I felt a bit rushed as we jumped into the sea one after another, and I wondered if it might be a bit hard for snorkeling beginners. However, there are guides available for those who are anxious, so it’s reassuring. I was confident in my snorkeling skills, but I ended up more tired than I expected. We only had one snorkeling session with the dolphins, but on the way back to the boat, they swam close to us again, so we had two opportunities to swim with them, which was satisfying. After returning to the boat and moving to another location, we encountered a large group of dolphins, but since it was a spot with many sharks, we watched from the boat. It was great to experience both! We saw a lot of dolphin jumps too! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. We moved to the turtle point and saw them shortly after swimming, which was also satisfying. There were five of them! I knew we shouldn’t touch them, but they came so close that I was desperately trying to avoid bumping into them. The freshly made hamburgers prepared on the boat were also very delicious! After arriving at the port, we even saw a ray! After getting off the boat, we saw sea turtles again at the spot we visited on the way there. Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

2歳の子連れでしたが船上では母に見てもらい、シュノーケルには夫婦での参加です☆朝早くワイキキは雨で憂鬱なスタートでしたが1時間程で到着し、着いたらとてもいい天気でした！運良く船に乗る前からウミガメを見ることができました(^ ^)出発後もすぐにイルカに遭遇して急いで海に入りました！！次々と海にジャンプして入るので少し焦りましたが(^-^;シュノーケル初心者には少しハードなのかな？と思いましたが、不安な方はガイドさんが付いてくれますので安心です☆シュノーケルには慣れていて自身があったのですが、思っていたより疲れました(°_°)イルカとのシュノーケルは一回でしたが、船に戻る途中にもう一度近くを泳いでくれたので一緒に泳ぐ？機会は2回あり満足でした☆船に戻り移動してまたイルカの大群に遭遇しましたが、サメが多い場所とのことで船からのウォッチングになりましたが、どちらも体験できたので良かったです(^ ^)イルカのジャンプもたくさん見れました！その後はウミガメとシュノーケルです。移動してウミガメのポイントへ。少し泳いですぐに見れたのでこれも満足です(^ ^)5匹いました！触ってはいけないのは承知ですが、びっくりするほど近づいてくるので当たらないように逆に遠ざかるのに必死な程でした(^-^;船で作ってくれる出来立てのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです☆港に着いてからは何と！エイまで見れました!!!!船から降りて、行きに見た場所でまたウミガメも見れました☆もう何から何まで最高な体験になりました！またハワイに行くときには絶対に参加したいです(^ ^)☆

I was able to see dolphins up close! 間近でイルカが見れました！

Reviewed by: アロハマハロ

I was moved to see dolphins and sea turtles swimming right in front of me. It requires more physical strength than I expected, so I think it's a good idea for those who are not good at swimming to inform the guide in advance, as they can provide assistance.

目の前でイルカとウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができて感動しました。思っていたよりも体力がいるので、泳ぎが苦手な人は事前にガイドさんへ申告した方が手助けしてくれるのでいいと思います。

I had many encounters with dolphins and sea turtles! たくさんのイルカとウミガメとの出会いがありました！

Reviewed by: Ｒ．Ｏ

We were picked up at the hotel at 5:30 AM while it was still dark and took about an hour bus ride to the shared port. There were just under 20 participants, making it a compact tour. While there were many couples, there were also two solo travelers, families, and a group of men, so I think it's a tour that anyone can easily join, not just couples.

As you can see in the photos, the boat wasn't that large, but perhaps due to the good sea conditions, no one got seasick, and it was a comfortable boat trip. By the way, we had seen experiences in advance, so we took motion sickness medication. If you're worried about getting seasick, it's better to take it for peace of mind.

The captain and crew were all cheerful and fun, which raised the mood on the boat. We encountered a lot of dolphins and were able to swim with them, which was truly moving. I think we saw over 100 dolphins. Additionally, a sea turtle came up to the surface, and we were able to see its face up close, which was also amazing.

While you do wear fins, you swim quite a bit, so it might be a bit tough for those without much stamina. Most people rented wetsuits, and we did too; it was good to have them since it can get chilly when you get back on the boat.

We also enjoyed Hawaiian songs and hula dancing on the boat in a friendly atmosphere. I'm glad I participated.

まだ暗い朝5時半にホテルに迎えに来てもらい、乗り合い港まで約一時間バスに乗りました。
参加は私たちを含め２０人弱で、コンパクトなツアーとなりました。
カップルが多かったですが、一人旅の人も二組、親子連れ、男性のみのグループもいましたので、カップル以外でも気軽に参加できるツアーなのだと思います。
写真のとおり、それほど大きな船でもありませんでしたが、海の状態もよかったせいか、船酔いする人は一人も出ず、快適な船旅でした。
ちなみに、私たちは体験談を事前に見ていたこともあり、酔い止めを飲みました。酔う心配かある方は飲んでおいた方が安心です。
キャプテン、クルーともみなさん陽気で楽しい方で、船の上のテンションも上がります。
肝心のイルカともとてもたくさん出会えて、一緒に泳ぐことができ感動しました。延べ１００頭以上と会えたと思います。また、ウミガメさんも水面まで上がってきてくれて、顔を間近に見られてこちらも最高でした。
フィンを付けてにはなりますが、それなりに泳ぎますので体力がない方には少しつらいと感じるかもしれません。また、ウェットスーツはほとんどの人が借りていました。私たちも借りましたが、船に上がったときなど冷えることがあるので、借りて良かったです。
船上でのハワイの歌、フラダンスも和気あいあいとした雰囲気のなかみんなで楽しめました。
参加して良かったです。

A lucky day. ラッキーな１日

Reviewed by: jami

On the day of the tour, the waves were calm, and we were blessed with good weather.

We spotted dolphins, but during the first dive, they were too far away to say we swam with them. On the second dive, we got quite close, and by the third dive, we were able to swim alongside them clearly with the naked eye. We also saw a surprising number of sea turtles, much to the guide's astonishment. It’s rare to see as many as ten, both large and small.

Perhaps we were lucky, but it turned out to be a very satisfying tour.

当日は波もそれほどなく、天候に恵まれました。

イルカを発見し、１回目のダイブは遠過ぎて一緒に泳いだとは言えず、２回目はかなり近くまで接近。３回目で肉眼でもはっきり見られる位、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
ウミガメは、ガイドさんもビックリするぐらいの数を見ることができました。大小合わせて１０匹も見ることは稀だそうです。

運も良かったのでしょうが、大満足のツアーとなりました。

I want to thank all the miracles. 😊 全ての奇跡に感謝したいです(^^)

Reviewed by: まっつん

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to swim with dolphins, so we searched online and decided to use the private Dolphin Academy. Honestly, since it's a tour involving nature, I was prepared for the possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we quickly found many dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly moving! After that, dolphins came close to the boat again for a second dive, and I was so happy to see turtles as well.

Although it’s an early morning tour, the guide, the driver, and all the boat staff were really entertaining, making it a lot of fun! Don’t think about sleeping on the bus in the morning! (^^)

I believe there is a possibility of not seeing dolphins, but the staff really puts in their best effort for the participants. If you tend to get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication, and if you're participating in April, a wetsuit is essential.

I am grateful for the miracle of seeing dolphins and turtles, and for being able to join such wonderful tour participants.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きました。
旦那がイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい！とのことでネットで色々探し、こちらの私立イルカ中学さんを利用させていただくことに。正直、自然相手のツアーなのでイルカに会えなくても仕方ないものと割り切って参加しましたが、ツアーではすぐにたくさんのイルカを見つけ一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。本当に感動でした！その後も再びイルカが船の近くに来てくれ２回目のダイブ♡亀にも会えて嬉しすぎです。
朝早い時間からのツアーですが、ガイドさんはもちろん運転手さんも船のスタッフさんも皆さん面白い方ばかりで本当に楽しめます！朝バスの中で寝ようなんて思わないで下さい(^^)笑
イルカに会えない可能性もあるとは思いますが、スタッフ皆さんが全力でツアー参加者のために頑張ってくれますよ。
酔う方は酔い止め、4月参加の場合はウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
今回イルカや亀に会えた奇跡、素敵なツアー参加者と一緒になれた奇跡に感謝します。

Dolphin Encounter Tour イルカに会えるツアー

Reviewed by: そぎちゃんと営業マン夫婦

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the tour, I was a bit groggy from waking up early, but Juli, our guide, was there to lead us!

Despite it being early in the morning, she was so talkative! I worried if I could keep up, but as I listened to Juli, I gradually got to know her personality. Her love for dolphins and her desire to have a fun tour drew us in as well.

On the day, we miraculously encountered a ton of dolphins, and we even saw three turtles! It made us feel so happy.

We both work and have tiring days, but this tour made us think that we should try to enjoy everything.

When we reminisced about our honeymoon and reflected on what was fun, we both said...

"The dolphin tour!"

イルカと一緒に泳いでみたいとこのツアーを申し込みしました
朝早く頭はボケボケ当日はジュリさんがスタッフとして案内して
くれました！

早朝にも関わらず　まあ～しゃべること　笑
付いて行けるかな？と心配になりましたがジュリさんの話を
聞いてれば段々人柄がわかってきます
イルカを愛する気持ちと楽しくツアーをしたい想い
私たち夫婦も惹き込まれていきました

当日たーーくさんのイルカに奇跡的に会えて
カメさんもトリプルで♡
とても幸せな気持ちになりました


夫婦共働きで疲れた毎日でしたがなにごとも楽しく頑張ろう

そう思えたツアーでした

ハネムーンの思い出を二人で話して何が楽しかった？と振り返ったとき

二人とも…



『イルカのツアー！』でした♡

Miraculous Experience 奇跡体験

Reviewed by: みえこ

On this day, we were able to meet so many dolphins that even the photographers and guides were moved. It was a miraculous experience. Additionally, we could enjoy the unique scenery of the west side of Oahu, which offered a different flavor compared to the ocean tours on the east coast. I would love to participate again.

この日は、カメラマンやガイドも感動するほど、たくさんのイルカに会うことができました。奇跡の体験でした。
また、オアフ島の西側独特の景色を堪能できますので、東海岸での海のツアーとは違った味わいがありました。
また参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: ポパイ

We participated in this tour as a couple. The sight of many dolphins swimming in the sea was truly magical and moving. At the sea turtle spot, a turtle came right up to us, and we were so excited! We made sure not to touch it, so we carefully observed it instead. There were also many small fish, making it a truly satisfying tour. We will definitely join this tour again next time!

夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました。たくさんのイルカが海の中を泳ぐ姿は本当に幻想的で感動しました。ウミガメスポットでは目の前までウミガメが来てくれて大興奮！触ってはいけないので触れないよう気をつけながら観察しました。他にも小さな魚がたくさんいて本当に大満足のツアーでした。次も絶対このツアーに参加します！
