I have come to love dolphins! イルカが大好きになりました！

Reviewed by: ほっちょ

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff who took care of us!
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant.
I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) coming up for air multiple times, which was enjoyable in itself.
When the sun went down, it felt a bit chilly in the water, so it was a good decision to borrow a wetsuit.
In the morning bus, our guide Julie cheerfully shared important information and details about Oahu, and what stood out to me was that dolphins have developed ultrasonic communication to convey their feelings.
When we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were, we entered the water and saw the dolphins in the distance!
We moved towards the direction of the dolphins with the other participants, but I was lagging behind and felt like crying inside, wanting to swim with the dolphins!! Just then, dolphins started coming towards us from behind!
I was truly moved to be so close that I thought I might touch them!
After that, dolphins swam slowly towards us from all directions, and later I heard there were about 70 of them.
I heard their squeaky sounds multiple times, and their spinning and belly-up courtship poses were absolutely adorable.
Since they are wild animals, I thought I would be happy just to see a few from a distance, so I was beyond happy.
For those who are not confident swimmers, there were floatation devices available for rent, and those who used them were able to move ahead without any issues.
The photos I posted were taken with my inexpensive underwater camera, but the professional photographer took even more beautiful shots, including some from deeper dives, so I think those who bring their own cameras will be satisfied with their purchases.
If you have the opportunity, making a video would be interesting as you can listen to the squeaky sounds and the clicking sounds, which are ultrasonic and hard for humans to hear.
Lastly, I want to thank Julie for the heartfelt send-off, as well as the powerful and warm captain, the cheerful photographer, and all the staff!
I definitely want to participate again!

まずお世話になったスタッフの皆さん、どうもありがとうございました！
参加当日は天気が良く波も穏やかで船上での風も心地よかったです。
何度も息継ぎをするホヌを見掛ける事が出来、それだけでも楽しかったです。
陽が陰ると海の中では肌寒く感じたのでウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。
朝のバス内ではガイドのジュリさんが明るく注意事項やオアフ島の事など教えて下さり中でも印象的だったのがイルカは超音波が発達していて気持ちが伝わるとの事でした。
いざイルカのいる地点に到着し海に入ると遠くからイルカ達が…！
参加者の方々とイルカのいる方向へ進んで行くのですが思う様に進めず一人どんどん遅れてしまい半泣き状態でイルカさん達と泳ぎたいよー！！と心の中で叫んでいたら私の後ろの方からもイルカ達がこちらに向かって水面へ近付いてきてくれました(;_;)
触れてしまうのではないかと思う位の距離に本当に感動しました！
その後も四方八方からイルカ達がゆっくり泳いできてくれて後で聞くと70頭位だったそうです。
キューキューと鳴く声が何度も聞こえ、ぐるぐるスピンする姿やお腹を真上に泳ぐ求愛ポーズなど本当に愛らしいです。
自然の生き物なので、せめて何匹か遠目でも見る事が出来ればなぁと思っていたので言葉に出来ない位に幸せでした。
泳ぎが苦手な方は浮き具の貸し出しもあり利用されていた方はどんどん先に進んでらしたので問題ないと思います。
投稿写真は私の安い水中カメラで撮ったものですが当日カメラマンさんが撮ってくれている写真はもっと綺麗で深く潜った所からのショットもありカメラ持参の方が購入しても満足出来ると思います。
余裕があればムービーにするとキューキューと鳴く声や後で調べた所、人には聞こえ辛いカタカタッとしたクリック音と言う別の超音波も後で聞き直せるので面白いと思います。
最後にお別れの時まで心のこもったお見送りをして下さったジュリさんを始めパワフルであったかいキャプテン、明るくフォローして下さったカメラマンさんやスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました！
是非また参加したいです！

It's a series of moving experiences! 感動の連続です！

Reviewed by: 馬場ひとみ

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.

I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!

It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!

We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.

Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!

Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.

We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.

All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.

朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします！かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が１日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100％見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上！
当日は全体で９隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ！！
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、３回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見！
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。
下を何頭か通り過ぎたり、遠目でジャンプしたのを見ることが出来ました(^-^)
何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験！
かなり体力も使うので、最終日にして正解だったと思います。
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方で、ハワイを満喫出来いい思い出が作れました。

Wonderful memories!!! 素晴らしい思い出！！！

Reviewed by: とんきち

I participated with my 7-year-old son. We had been to Hawaii several times, but I thought we should have joined the dolphin tour earlier. On the day of the tour, the weather was perfect, and we happily boarded the boat. My son was a bit scared of the boat, but perhaps because he took motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, he didn't get seasick and we arrived at the dolphin spot. He had no worries about snorkeling or swimming, so we jumped right into the water! The marine blue was crystal clear, even at depths of over 10 meters. Just swimming in this transparent sea felt amazing. Then, when the guide signaled, a group of dolphins immediately appeared before our eyes. Dolphins swimming in the water and leaping above the surface! It was astonishing and moving! I peered into the water multiple times to keep up with the guide's signals, and each time, I saw dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when my son and I were a bit tired, the signal to change spots came. As we moved to the next location by boat, we saw many sea turtles and small fish. It felt like we had entered a different world. Without taking a break, we continued swimming and watching the fish, and before we knew it, it was time to head back. We felt so disappointed; we wanted to enjoy it all day long. That was our wish, and I definitely want to participate again next time. It was an activity we should not miss. Thank you very much!

7歳の息子と参加しました。
何回かハワイには来てましたが、初めてイルカ中学に参加してもっと早くに参加しておけば良かったと思いました。
参加当日は、絶好の天気で気持ち良くボートに乗り込みました。息子は、ボートを少し怖がってましたが、酔い止めをホテル出発時に飲んでいたためか、船酔いすることもなくイルカスポットに到着。シュノーケルや泳ぎに関しては、全く不安がなかったので直ぐに海の中へ！１０M以上の深さの中でも海底まで透き通るマリンブルー。この透き通った海を泳ぐだけでも、最高の気分。そうすると、ガイドの方から合図があると、沢山のイルカたちが直ぐに目に飛び込んできました。海の中で泳ぐイルカの集団や海面を飛び交うイルカの集団！なんなんだ！驚きと感動！ガイドさんの合図に遅れないように何回も海の中を覗くと何回もイルカたちがスイスイと泳いでいるのが目に飛び込んできました。息子も私も少し疲れたところで、スポット変更の合図。次のスポットに船で移動すると、次はウミガメや小さな魚たちが沢山目に入ってきた。違う世界に来た気分である。時間いっぱい休むことなく、泳ぎ続け魚たちを見ていると、あっという間に帰る時間になってしまいました。思いっきり残念な気分。一日中でも楽しみたかったのが、息子と私の思いでした。是非次回も参加したいし、参加すべきアクティビティでした。
本当にありがとうございました！

The best in the sea!! イル中最高！！

Reviewed by: Hikaru

I stayed in Hawaii for five days, and it became the most memorable day of my trip. Swimming with wild dolphins was an experience I will never forget.

Before my departure, I imagined that "wild" dolphins would be those kept in enclosures for observation, but that was not the case at all. It actually began with the task of finding a pod of truly wild dolphins. Along the way, I also encountered sea turtles and whales. Eventually, I came across a group of 50 to 60 dolphins and was able to swim alongside them, getting so close that I felt I could almost touch them. It was truly the best experience.

Additionally, there was a dedicated photographer with us during the dolphin swim. They captured not only the dolphins underwater but also the moments of us swimming together and having fun. Thanks to this, I could fully enjoy the breathtaking experience with my own eyes without worrying about taking photos. I ended up with a total of 300 amazing pictures, and the fee was only $50, which felt quite reasonable.

Although I was a bit tired from swimming and being on the boat for a long time, it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly supportive, friendly, and their love for the ocean was impressive. I would definitely like to use their services again when I visit Hawaii.

ハワイに5日滞在しましたが、最も印象に残った日となりました。
野生のイルカ達と泳げたのは一生忘れられない経験となりました。

出発前の私は野生といっても生け簀に入っている観賞用のイルカを想像していましたが、一切そんなことはなく本当に野生のイルカの群れを見つける作業から始まりました。見つける道中でもウミガメやクジラに遭遇することが出来ました。やがて50,60匹のイルカの群れと遭遇し見事に一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました、触れるのではないかと思うくらいの距離への接近でした、本当に最高の経験です。

またイルカ中学校には専属のカメラマンさんがついてくださいます、水中のイルカたちはもちろん一緒に泳ぐ姿や楽しんでいるところをしっかり撮影してくださいました。お陰で撮影に専念することなく肉眼で見る迫力を終始味わうことができます。合計300枚の素晴らしい写真でしたが料金は50ドルと、かなり安く感じました。

それなりに泳ぎ、長い間船に揺られるので疲労感はありましたが素晴らしい経験でした。スタッフの皆様がとても心強く、フレンドリーで海を愛している姿が印象的でした。ハワイにいった際にはぜひまた利用したいです。

Reviewed by: あああ

I'm a repeat visitor.
This time was the best experience yet!
Dolphins swam around us in close proximity, allowing us to see them up close.
I'm not very experienced with snorkeling and struggled with breathing, but I was able to enjoy it at my own pace without any pressure.
They provide thorough instructions and assistance every time, and I highly recommend this activity.

今回は過去一番の大当たり！
イルカが近くをくるくる周回して泳いでくれましたので、とても近くで見ることができました。
私はシュノーケリングに不慣れで息継ぎにあっぷあっぷでしたが、無理強いもなく自分のペースで楽しめます。
毎回丁寧にレクチャー、アテンドしてくれますし、このアクティビティはおススメです。

We left the hotel before dawn, and both the sunrise and the mountains viewed from the boat were incredibly beautiful. I spotted dolphins several times, but I couldn't see them underwater. The timing was great, and I was lucky to see whales as well. I want to build up my stamina and try again!

暗い内にホテルを出発し、朝日もボートから見る山々も凄く美しかったです。何度もイルカを目撃しましたが、私は水中で見る事は出来ませんでした。次期が良く、クジラも見る事が出来てラッキーでした。体力を付けてリベンジしたいです！

fantastic 幻想的

Reviewed by: ハワイ♪

While being rocked by a small boat, we moved around on rubber tubes surrounding it. This turned out to be surprisingly challenging. The staff member was very energetic and kept the atmosphere lively throughout. When we spotted dolphins, we all jumped in at her signal! I recommend aiming to stay as close to her as possible. When you're near the dolphins, you can hear their sounds, and they swim around playfully, with some people even able to touch them. The staff member also worked hard to find sea turtles for us. We were truly healed by the dolphins and sea turtles! On the way back, we returned on the rocking boat while feeling tired. Let's make sure to get to bed early the night before.

小さな船にガンガン揺られながら、その船の周りにあるゴムチューブにまたがって移動します。これが、意外と大変でした。
お姉さんが、とっても元気で、終始、盛り上げてくれてました。
イルカを見つけたら、全員で、お姉さんの合図とともに、飛び込みます！
できるだけ、お姉さんの近くを目指すことをおすすめします。
イルカの近くにいると、鳴き声？も聞こえるし、クルクルまわってくれるし、人によっては触れることができそうな位置でイルカを見れます。
ウミガメも、お姉さんが、頑張って探してくれました。
イルカとウミガメに癒されます♪
帰りは、疲れているなか、ガンガンに揺れる船で戻ります。
前日は、早く寝ましょう。

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

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Robert P.

We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.

The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.

We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

High energy from early morning! 早朝からテンション高く！

Reviewed by: アリス

I boarded the bus while battling sleepiness due to the early morning, but the weather on the day of the tour was fantastic, and the tour guide was lively and energetic, which quickly chased away my drowsiness. I was a bit concerned about spending the whole day at sea, so the half-day plan was just right for me. It was a very fulfilling plan that felt like a condensed version of Dolphin University, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

On the day of the tour, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of wild dolphins as soon as we set sail from the port. Their high-pitched calls were clearly audible even underwater, which was truly moving. The sea was a stunning blue and transparent, like paint mixed with water, allowing me to experience the grandeur of nature not just visually but with my whole body.

I've been diving in beautiful places like Guam and Okinawa, but I was convinced that this was the sea of Hawaii. There were also elementary school children participating and having fun, so I can recommend this tour to people of all ages!

朝早かったために眠気と戦いながらバスに乗り込んだのですが、参加した日はとても天気が良く、ツアーガイドの方もはつらつとしていてテンションが高く、あっという間にそんな眠気も吹っ飛んでしまいました。一日中海にいるのは体力面で不安があったので、半日プランでちょうどよかったと思います。イルカ大学をぎゅっと凝縮したような非常に充実したプランで、余すところなく楽しめました。
当日は、運よく港から出航するとすぐに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇。きゅんきゅんと高い声で鳴いているのが水中でもよく聞こえ、感動しました。
海はまるで絵具を溶かしたかのように青く透明で、自然の雄大さを視覚だけでなく全身で味わうことができました。
グアムや沖縄など海がきれいなところで潜ったことがありますが、これがハワイの海かと納得しました。
小学生のお子さんも参加し楽しんでいたので、どんな年代の方にもおすすめできるツアーです！

Wild dolphins 野生のイルカ

Reviewed by: fmak23

I swam with wild dolphins! It was early in the morning and I was tired, but overall I think it was great.

First, we had an early pickup, and we were staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, but the pickup location was at Sheraton Waikiki. It was a bit far, and I was wondering about it, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. That's a bit disappointing.

After getting on the bus and receiving explanations, the stories were interesting and got me excited despite the early hour! The driving was a bit rough, which was nerve-wracking, but funny.

Once we arrived, we took a bathroom break and quickly changed into our wetsuits while taking some photos before boarding the boat for equipment explanations and departure. The captain had a great personality, which added to the excitement.

Maybe we were lucky, but about 5 to 10 minutes after departure, we finally spotted the dolphins! I dove into the sea and got to see the dolphins up close. I was moved by the clarity and beauty of the ocean while enjoying snorkeling with the dolphins. They swam surprisingly fast, and we only had about 3 to 5 minutes to see them each time, but we got back on the boat, moved ahead of the dolphin pod, and dove in about three times before heading to a spot with sea turtles!

That spot also had high water clarity, which was very impressive. The sea turtles were quite relaxed and didn’t swim away even when we got close. Just remember, you must not touch them!

We were also able to hand-feed beautiful fish!

Even though it was Hawaii, since it was December, the wind was cold when we got out of the water and moved on the boat. I recommend bringing a beach towel or something light to wear.

Also, since it was early in the morning, the ABC store was closed, and I went without breakfast, but I ended up feeling sick on the way back due to hunger, the tightness of the life jacket, and the boat's rocking. So, I recommend having a proper breakfast and bringing motion sickness medication if you’re prone to it.

野生のイルカと泳いで来ました(^^)
朝早くで疲れたけど総評としては良かったと思います。
まず朝早くピックアップなのですが自分たちはシェラトンプリンセスカイウラニに泊まっていたのですが、ピックアップ場所はシェラトンワイキキになってました。ちょっと遠いし疑問に思っていたのですが後に判明したのですが勘違いでしたようです。ちょっと残念ですね(^^;
バスに乗ってから説明など受けてその話とかが面白く朝早いのにテンション上がりました!
多少運転荒いのでハラハラしますが笑
ついてトイレ休憩して早速ウェットに着替えて写真をとってもらいつつ船に乗り込み用具などの説明を受け出港です。
船長さんのいいキャラもあってワクワク(^^)
運がよかったのか、出港から5～10分くらいで念願のイルカ先生が!!!
海にダイブして生イルカ先生を拝みました(^-^)v
海の透明さと綺麗さに感動しつつ、イルカをシュノーケリングしながら堪能しました。
以外と泳ぎが早く、1回つかって見れる時間が3～5分程度でしたが、また船に乗り込みイルカの群れに先回りしてまたダイブしてっていうのを3回くらいして次はウミガメがいるポイントへ移動!
そのポイントもまた海の透明度が高く大変感動しました。
ウミガメは結構のんびりしていて近くでも逃げませんでした。決して触ってはダメですよ笑
餌をもらえて綺麗なお魚さんに手渡しで餌をあげることもできました！

ハワイといえど自分は12月だったので海から上がってボートで移動する際の風が寒かったですね
ビーチタオルや軽く羽織れるものをもっていくことをお勧めします。
それと朝はやかったのでABCもあいてなくて朝食抜きでいったのですが空腹とライフジャケットの腹部の締め付けとボートの揺れで帰り気分が悪くなりましたのでしっかり朝食をとって酔いやすいかたは酔い止めの持参をお勧めします。

I was able to see dolphins somehow. 何とかイルカを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: マック

When we arrived in Hawaii at 7:00 AM on November 21, 2015, it was raining heavily. The next day, on the 22nd, and on the 23rd, there were light showers in the morning, which made us anxious as we boarded the bus for the private Dolphin Middle School.

As we made our way to the port, we listened to the instructions from Mr. Takao of Dolphin School. Initially, everyone seemed a bit grumpy and anxious, but as he started talking, suddenly there was a downpour (T ^ T). I imitated Tetsuya Takeda, saying, "Alright! Please listen carefully to the teacher's talk!" and it seemed to ease everyone's worried expressions a little. Just as we were nearing the port, the sky began to brighten (^ ^). It felt as if our prayers had been answered!

As we quickly boarded the Zodiac and set off to find the dolphins, the rain stopped and the weather cleared up! Near the port, the water was murky and brown, ruining the beauty of Hawaii's ocean. However, about ten minutes later, we spotted a pod of dolphins! They swam right next to the Zodiac. Although the water's clarity was poor and we couldn't see them clearly, we could see the shadows of the dolphins passing by.

The captain confirmed the direction of the dolphins and gave the go-ahead to jump in! We quickly entered the water, and Mr. Takao called out his famous line, "Look down! Look down!" We confirmed that a pod of dolphins was swimming through the murky water! After seeing the dolphins move on, we got back on the boat to search for them again.

Unfortunately, we had to wait for the pod to emerge from the murky water, and when the captain gave the go-ahead, everyone said they could faintly see them, but all I could see was the murky water (T ^ T).

This time, we were able to see them, but we were ultimately defeated by the wild dolphins and the power of nature. Thank you to the teacher, the captain, and all the staff. I hope to participate again. Next time, I want to see them under a blue sky and in clear water.

2015年11月21日AM7:00にハワイへ到着したらダーダーの雨、翌日22日も、、23日も朝から小雨がパラパラと不安になりながら私立イルカ中学のバスに乗り込みました。
イルカ学校のタカオ先生に注意事項を聞きながら港まで進みました。
最初はなんだか不機嫌そうな感じで参加者のみんなも不安そうな中話を始めましたが、途中急に大雨(T ^ T)ジャンジャン降りで「はい！先生の話をよ〜〜く聞いてください」と武田鉄矢をまねてみんなの不安そうな顔も少しほぐれてきたのか、港に着く間際に空が明るくなってきたでわありませんか(^ ^)みんなの祈りが通じたかのごとくでした！
早速ゾディアックに乗って目的のイルカを目指し出港した時には雨も上がり晴天になって来ました！
港の近く、浜辺近くは水が濁って茶色になってハワイの美しい海が台なしでした。
そう言って10分くらいでイルカの群れ発見‼︎イルカたちがソディアックすぐそばまで来て泳いでいました。海の透明度が悪くハッキリは見えませんがイルカの魚影が過ぎていくのを見れました。
船長がイルカの方向を確認し「ここで飛び込め！」のゴーサインが出ました！
早速入水しタカオ先生が「下見て！下見て！」の名物コール！濁った海の中にイルカの群れが通るのを確認しました！
イルカの群れが移動したのを見ると再度船に乗り込みイルカの群れを探しました。
残念ながらイルカの群れが濁った海の中から出てくるのを待ち船長のゴーサイン！みんなはかすかに見えたそうですが私には濁った海しか(T ^ T)
今回はとりあえず見ることができましたがやはり野生のイルカと自然の猛威に完敗でした。
先生、船長、スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。
また参加できたらよろしくお願いします。次回はブルースカイ&透き通った海でみたいです。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

It was fun! 楽しかった～♪

Reviewed by: 6kiyo6

My daughter, who loves the ocean, wanted to participate in a snorkeling experience with dolphins! I read reviews and didn't expect much when they said you swim with dolphins, as I thought they would just pass by below while snorkeling. However, I was amazed because I saw them clearly three times when I jumped in! They swam close to the boat, and I could also see them jumping in the distance, which was great! We were lucky to spot something that looked like a whale on the way there too!

When I asked my husband, who usually doesn't get very emotional, what he enjoyed the most in Hawaii, he said, "I got a bit tired from swimming, but it was probably the dolphins..." so I think he really enjoyed it. Just keep in mind that even though it's called snorkeling, you have to chase after the dolphins when they come, so it can be tough for those who aren't good swimmers, and if you fall behind, you might miss seeing them. If you can swim normally, you'll be fine. If we get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would love to join this tour again! (*^^*)

海が大好きな娘の希望でイルカとシュノーケルに参加しました！
口コミを見てイルカと泳ぐ・・・と言ってもシュノーケルしてる下の方をイルカが一瞬で通り過ぎるだけそれほど期待してはいなかったけど３度飛び込んで３度とも見えたし下の方でしたがはっきり見えたので感動でした！
ボートのそばを泳いでくらたり遠くではジャンプする姿も見え良かったです♪
行く途中で鯨らしき物も見えたのでラッキーでした！
普段あまり感動しない旦那さんに『ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？』と聞いたら『泳ぐのにちょっと疲れたけどイルカかな・・・』と言っていたのでよほど楽しかったと思います。
ただシュノーケルと言ってもイルカが来たら追いかけるように着いていかなければいけないので泳ぎの得意ではない人は大変だし遅れると見えない事もあります。
ふつうに泳げるなら大丈夫です。
もしまたハワイに行けることがあれば参加したいツアーです。(*^^*)

They searched for the dolphins without giving up until the end. 最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれました

Reviewed by: yoriyori

I was so excited about my first trip to Hawaii that I forgot to call the dolphin desk after arriving at the hotel, but I managed to get in touch the night before and was able to join the tour without any issues.

The meeting time was 6 AM. It was still dark, with the sun not yet risen, when we were picked up by a bright yellow bus. I was quite sleepy and thought I would take a nap on the way, but the student council president (the guide) gave a detailed and entertaining explanation about the port we were heading to, the types of dolphins we might see, important notes, and equipment, all while incorporating some impersonations. As a result, I didn’t get a second of sleep during the approximately one-hour ride to the port.

We boarded a high-speed boat to search for dolphins, and it was so much fun! The boat sped along just above the water's surface, bouncing over large waves, making me forget for a moment that we were searching for dolphins. We got splashed with water, so it was cold regardless of the water temperature. I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I didn’t feel the chill, but my husband, without a wetsuit, seemed to be quite cold.

The boat went all the way from Waianae to beyond Ko Olina, but we didn’t find any dolphins. We returned to Waianae, but still no dolphins. The student council president's face started to look more and more worried. As the tour was nearing its end without anyone having entered the water, and just when everyone was starting to give up, the student council president made a surprising suggestion.

After checking the participants' plans, and since no one was in a hurry to return, we decided to continue searching for dolphins! This time, we headed north to Makua Beach. There, we found dolphins! We immediately jumped into the water and were able to swim with seven dolphins.

After that, we enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles at another spot before returning to the port, where we were taken back to the hotel. We arrived an hour later than scheduled, but I was really glad to have been able to swim with the dolphins.

In a typical tour, I think it would have ended with, "We didn’t see any this time. It can’t be helped since they are wild dolphins." But Dolphin Middle School was different.

I am truly grateful to the student council president and the crew for not giving up and continuing to search for dolphins until the end.

初めてのハワイ旅行にすっかり舞い上がり、ホテル到着後イルカデスクに電話連絡することを忘れてしまいましたが、前日の夜に連絡をとることができ、無事ツアーに参加できました。
集合は朝6時。まだ朝日も昇っておらず暗い中、鮮やかな黄色いバスでピックアップ。かなり眠たかったので、行きのバスで仮眠を…と思っていましたが、生徒会長（＝ガイドさん）より、これから行く港の場所や、見られるイルカの種類、諸注意、装備につい等々、モノマネを交えながら面白く細かく説明されるため、港に到着するまでの約１時間、寝る時間は１秒もありませんでした。

港から高速船に乗ってイルカを探すのですが、この船が楽しい！海面スレスレをビュンビュン飛ばして進み、大波を越える時は大きくバウンドして、イルカを探していることを一瞬忘れます。水しぶきを浴びながら進むので、水温に関係なく寒いです。私は＄１０でウェットスーツを借りていたので感じませんでしたが、ウェットスーツなしの主人はかなり寒かったようです。

船はワイアナエからコオリナの先まで進みましたが、イルカ発見ならず。ワイアナエまで戻るも、やはりイルカはいない。生徒会長の顔もだんだん曇ってきます。一度も海に入ることなくツアー終了の時間が近づき、誰もが諦めかけたとき、生徒会長からの意外な提案が。
ツアー参加者にこの後の予定を確認し、特に急いで帰りたい人がいなかったため、イルカ探しを続行することに！今度は北へ船を進ませマクアビーチへ。そこでイルカ発見！すぐさま海へ入り、７頭のイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
その後、別のポイントでウミガメとシュノーケリングを楽しんでから帰港し、ホテルへと送迎してもらいました。予定より１時間も遅れての到着となりましたが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたので本当に良かったです。

普通のツアーなら「今回は見られませんでした。野生のイルカだから仕方ないですね。」で終了だと思いますが、イルカ中学は違いました。

最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれた生徒会長やクルーの皆さんに感謝、感謝です。

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

Dolphins! Dolphins! Dolphins!

Reviewed by: Karol Lisboa

Booking with VELTRA was really easy and fast, I gave them my information and they took care of the rest for me.

Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.

The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.

I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.

Disappointed ガッカリ

Reviewed by: ヒロミ

I signed up with my two daughters. We didn't see any dolphins at all... I understand it's wild, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was very disappointing. We did manage to spot a sea turtle from the moving boat, but they didn't slow down for us, and there was no explanation from the guide! As for the light snack? Just one piece of cheese and a paper cup of tea! We had brought our own bottled drinks!

I heard we could retry for half price, but spending nearly 70,000 yen for the three of us to see dolphins... Everyone's spirits dropped, and it turned into a very quiet tour. I regret not signing up for a different tour.

娘達と3人で申し込みました。
イルカには全然会えず……野生なのでしょうがないのでしょうが楽しみにしていただけにとても残念でした。しかも海ガメは走っているボートから自力でなんとか見つけ見ることができましたがスピードを落としてくれるわけでもないし ガイドさんからの説明もなし！軽食？……チーズ1本、紙コップ1杯のお茶！自分達はしっかりペットボトルを持ち込んで飲んでいました！
半額でリトライできるとの事でしたが3人でイルカを見るために7万近いお金は……
皆テンションガタ落ちですごーく静かなツアーとなりました。他のツアーに申し込めば良かったと後悔してます。

Dolphin Tour Dolphin Junior High イルカツアー イルカ中学

Reviewed by: ミユキ

On the second day of arriving in Hawaii, I finally went on the long-awaited dolphin tour. Swimming with dolphins has been my dream since I was young. I boarded the yellow school bus of Dolphin Academy and went to meet the dolphins. The blue sky and blue sea of Hawaii provided a dreamlike experience. It felt as if I were swimming in an aquarium, like being in a painting. The color of the sea was wonderfully clear, leaving me speechless. I was able to feel a sense of unity with the beautiful dolphins that I love so much.

The tour was set up like a school, and even though it was only half a day, I felt like a student again. Our guide, Minako, was full of smiles and explained everything clearly, creating a fantastic classroom atmosphere from start to finish. Next, I am considering participating in the Manta University on the Big Island. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.

At the end, I did get a bit seasick, but I appreciate how kind everyone was. I recommend that those who are not confident about seasickness bring motion sickness medication. It would be a shame for such a precious time to be ruined... *sigh*

ハワイに到着し2日目 待ちに待ったイルカツアー
昔からイルカと泳ぐのが私の夢。
いざ、イルカ中学の黄色いスクールバスに乗り込み
イルカに会いに行ってきました。
ハワイの青い空に青い海
夢のような体験ができました。
まるで絵画の世界にいるような、水族館の中を泳いでいるかのよう。海の色も素晴らしく透明で、言葉になりません。
イルカの美しさ 大好きなイルカと
一体感を感じる事ができました。
ツアーの設定も、学校のようで、半日でしたが、学生に戻れました。ガイドのミナコさんも笑顔が満開で、話が分かりやすく、最初から最後まで
教室の雰囲気は最高でした。
次は、ハワイ島のマンタ大学に是非参加してみたいと考えています。大変貴重な体験をさせて頂き
ありがとうございました。
また、最後は船酔いになりましたが、皆さん優しく接して頂いて感謝しています。
船酔いに自信の無い方は、酔い止めを持参される事をお勧めします。せっかくの貴重な時間が、残念な事になってしまいます、、、苦笑

Recommendation オススメ

Reviewed by: ニャー

On this tour, we went in search of the common dolphin. It seems that encountering bottlenose dolphins, which appear in aquarium shows, is quite difficult. However, it turned out to be a lucky day for us, as we were able to see not only common dolphins but also bottlenose dolphins.

このツアーではハシナガイルカを探しに行きます。水族館のショーに登場するバンドウイルカはなかなか遭遇することが難しいとのことでした。私たちが行った日は当たりだったようでハシナガイルカだけでなく、バンドウイルカにも会うことがでいました。

Dolphin & Turtle Experience!! イルカ&亀 体験‼︎

Reviewed by: Sono

I participated on September 26th. The weather was very nice.

It was an early morning, but the guide was very energetic, so it's better to prepare yourself for not being able to sleep on the bus (I slept like a log on the way back).

We were able to see a lot of dolphins, including baby dolphins, which was incredibly moving. It was my first time seeing them up close. At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling and swimming in the ocean, and I could barely keep up with the guide, but I gradually got the hang of it.

The guide would call out things like "Look down!" so I think it would be easy to spot the dolphins when they appear.

After seeing the dolphins, we swam in another location to see turtles. That place had crystal-clear water and many tropical fish, making it very beautiful.

I was told not to touch the turtles, but since they swam towards me, I was desperately trying to avoid them. I was moved to see a turtle taking a breath at the surface right in front of me.

While moving by boat, I felt lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins.

Regarding what to bring when participating, I think it's best to take only the essentials. Since water splashes into the boat, it's a good idea to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag.

Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication (a few people felt unwell on the way back).

Of course, meeting the dolphins was amazing, but I was really glad I participated because I got to snorkel in such beautiful waters.

9 月 26 日に参加してきました。天候もとてもよかったです。
朝早かったですが、ガイドの人がとても元気いっぱいで、行きのバスの中で寝ることはできないと考えておいたほうが良いです(帰りは爆睡でした)。
イルカはたくさん見ることができました。赤ちゃんイルカもいてすごく感動しました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてでした。最初はシュノーケルと海で泳ぐことになれておらず、ガイドの人についていくのが精いっぱいでしたが、段々と慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が「下みて～」などの声かけをしてくれるので、イルカが出現したら見ることは簡単だと思います。
イルカを見た後に、亀を見るために別の場所で泳ぎました。その場所は水も透き通っていて、熱帯魚もたくさんいてとてもきれいでした。
亀には触れないようにと言われましたが、亀が自分の方に泳いでくるので、よけるので必死でした。海面で息継ぎをする亀を、目の前でみられて感動しました。
ボートで移動中にも、イルカの群れに遭遇できて得をした気分でした。
参加するときの荷物についてですが、必要最低限のものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。船の中に水しぶきが入ってくるので、防水の袋に入れておいたほうがいいです。　　　　
あと、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います(帰りの船で数名気分が悪くなっていたので）。
イルカに会えるのももちろんですが、きれいな海でシュノーケルができたので、参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

Very fulfilling! とっても充実！

Reviewed by: おなつ

I participated on September 25th!
We were blessed with good weather and encountered a large pod of dolphins multiple times.
The waves weren't too high, making it relatively easy to swim.
The experience felt like being thrown into the ocean and then swimming to chase the dolphins! So, if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be best to stick closely to the instructor (there are several in the water as well).
Even for someone like me who can swim, I felt it might be physically challenging at times.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and water splashed, so it's better to bring only things that can get wet. Don't forget motion sickness medication.
I was worried about getting seasick, but the pleasant breeze and beautiful scenery made for a comfortable boat trip.
The instructors were very lively, and the secret catchphrase (Shitamite Shitamite! Koko Shitamite~!) and dance were very memorable.

It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy from start to finish!
It was a moment to experience the beautiful ocean that is characteristic of Hawaii.

I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof camera!

9月25日参加させていただきました！
天気にも恵まれイルカの大群に何度も出会えました。
波はそんなに高くなく、比較的泳ぎやすかったと思います。
海の中へ放り出されてイルカみつけたらそこへ泳いで追いかける！という感じなので、泳ぎが得意でない方インストラクターの方にピッタリついていた方がいいかも。
（海の中でも何名かいらっしゃいます）
泳げる私でさえ体力的に途中厳しいかも…と感じました。
船が大分揺れて水がはねるので、濡れても良い物だけをお持ちする方がいいですよ。酔い止めもお忘れなく。
船酔いが心配だった私ですが、気持ちの良い風と素敵な景色で快適な船旅でした。
インストラクターの方々は大変ノリの良い方たちで、秘密の合言葉(シタミテシタミテ！ココシタミテ〜！)やダンスはとても印象的です。

最初から最後まで大人も子供も楽しめるツアーでした！
海が綺麗なハワイらしい経験が出来たひとときです。

ぜひ防水カメラをお持ちになることをオススメします！

I had a great time at Dolphin Junior High. 楽しかったイルカ中学

Reviewed by: sachi

My first time in Hawaii, my first time snorkeling, my first time seeing wild dolphins—everything was a first, and I participated with a mix of excitement and anxiety. A bus came to pick us up right in front of the hotel, and it was about a one-hour ride to the ocean. During that time, our energetic guide shared many fun and interesting stories about Hawaii and the ecology of dolphins. Thanks to her, my sleepy body was fully awakened, and I was getting excited about meeting the dolphins!

Before I knew it, we arrived at the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat, got ready to jump into the water, and set off! Then, we were told that there were dolphins nearby, and we all jumped into the sea! With the signal to "look down!!!", I desperately looked below, and there they were!!! I could see the dolphins swimming beneath us!!! It was breathtaking!

Soon after, more dolphins appeared! We all jumped in again, and with the signal to dive, we saw even more dolphins swimming! I even spotted some smaller dolphins. I learned that baby dolphins can be seen during this season, and they were so small and cute, which moved me once again! Just as I wanted to see more dolphins, it was almost time to leave. As we were about to depart, a large group of dolphins swam right next to our boat! It felt like they had come back to say goodbye to us!!! Everyone was so excited! The guide was also amazed and said she had goosebumps. I was so moved that I almost cried.

Still wanting to meet more dolphins, we all said "Mahalo! Aloha!" to the dolphins and moved on to the next spot to meet the turtle professor. There, we were greeted by stunning scenery. Among the many beautiful fish swimming around, there he was!!! The turtle professor!!!! Swimming gracefully at his own pace, he truly embodied the essence of a professor!!! It was so cute to see him come up for air. Then, I noticed that four turtle professors had gathered together. In the transparent blue sea, the beautiful fish and the swimming turtle professors created such a stunning sight that I found myself lost in the beauty of it all, without a single thought in my mind. It was truly a magnificent view.

The time spent with the dolphins and the turtle professor was so enjoyable that it flew by, but I was really glad to have participated. I silently promised the dolphins and the turtle professor that I would come back to see them again. It became an unforgettable memory.

初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリング、初めての野生のイルカ、すべてが初めてで、最初はドキドキと不安いっぱいで参加しました。ホテルの前までバスが迎えに来てくれて、海まで約1時間の乗車でした。その間、元気いっぱいのガイドのお姉さんが、ハワイの話や、イルカの生態についてなど、楽しくて興味のある話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。そのおかげで、早朝でちょっと眠かった体が、すっかり目覚めて、これからイルカに会えるんだー！っとテンションが上がってきました。お話に夢中になってると、あっという間に海に到着。さっそく船に乗り込み、海へ飛び込む準備を済ませ、船は出発しました！
すると、すぐに！！イルカ先生がいるとのことで、みんなで海へ飛び込みました！「下見てー！！！」の合図で、必死に下を見ていると、、、来たー！！！イルカ先生達が泳いでいる姿が下の方に見えました！！！透き通ったブルーの中で、イルカ達が泳いでいきました！！！感動でした！
そのあともすぐにイルカ先生登場！！みんなで飛び込み、下見てー！！の合図で潜ると、またまたイルカ達が泳いでいる姿が見えました！！！少し小さいイルカも見えました。この時期は赤ちゃんイルカも見られるそうなので、小さくて可愛いなと、またまた感動しました！！！もっともっとイルカ先生に会いたいと思っていると、そろそろイルカ先生の時間は終了。海を出発しようとしていた時、なんと、イルカ先生の大群が、私達の船のすぐ横を通過していきました！まるで私達にお別れの挨拶をしに戻って来てくれたかのようでした！！！みんなで大興奮！！ガイドのお姉さんも、鳥肌が立ったと驚いていました。わたしも感動して涙が出そうになりました。まだまだイルカ先生と出会いたい気持ちを残したまま、イルカ先生達にみんなで「マハロー！アロハー！」とお別れをし、次は、カメ大教授へ会いに次のスポットへ移動。そこでも、素晴らしい景色が私達を待っていました。綺麗な魚達がたくさん泳いでいる中に、いました！！！カメ大教授！！！！優雅にマイペースに泳いでいる姿は、貫禄があり、まさに大教授でした！！！水面で息継ぎをする姿がとても可愛かったです。そして気づくと、なんと、カメ大教授が4匹集まって来ていました。透き通ったブルーの海に、綺麗な魚達と、カメ大教授の泳ぐ姿、とても美しくて、何も考えずに、その海の景色だけをずっとずっと見ていました。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。
楽しすぎて、あっという間のイルカ先生とカメ大教授の授業でしたが、本当に参加して良かったです。また会いに来るねと心の中でイルカ先生とカメ大教授に誓いました。一生忘れられない思い出になりました。

Amazing!! 最高！！

Reviewed by: はなこ

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.

迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。
ですから、着替えやバスタオルも濡れます。
防水加工がしてあるバッグにまとめるか、バッグを入れることのできる大きめのビニル袋の携帯をオススメします。

An emotional dolphin experience. 感動のイルカ体験

Reviewed by: Tory

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles, but since dolphins were my main goal and I got to see a stingray instead, I'm really glad I participated!

イルカと泳ぐという昔からの夢が叶いました！
野生の生き物なので、100％会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に３回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。
残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、イルカが一番の目的だったのと、代わりにエイに会えたので、本当に参加してよかったです！
