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

Well worth it

Reviewed by: Lianne from NZ

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

I had a very good experience. とてもいい経験が出来ました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I wanted to swim with dolphins so badly that I decided to participate this time. At first, I was worried about not being able to see any dolphins, but I was amazed to encounter an incredible number of them. It was truly moving. The round-trip bus ride was enjoyable as the guide shared stories, and I realized that this experience was worth the price. I also got to see a honu (sea turtle), and it was really, really the best. Next time, I definitely want to enroll in Dolphin University.

イルカとどうしても一緒に泳ぎたいと思い、今回参加しました。イルカに会えなかったらどうしようと最初は心配しましたが、びっくりするぐらいの数のイルカに会えました。それはもう本当感動です。往復のバスも飽きることなくガイドさんが話をしてくれ、この金額払う価値があると実感しました。ホヌにも会えたし、本当に本当に最高です。今度は是非イルカ大学に入学したいと思います。

You can almost encounter dolphins. ほぼイルカに出会えます

Reviewed by: みのごんた

It's an early morning meeting, but our guide Yuriko was very energetic, and the driver Domingo was really nice. The pickup may not be from your hotel but from the nearest hotel.

When we arrived at the site, they offered to rent wetsuits for $10 to those who wanted them. Prescription masks are also available for free, so you can try them on to see if they fit. I wore contact lenses and used a regular mask, which was sufficient for me.

There are indeed a lot of dolphins. However, since they are wild, when you go scuba diving, they might swim right past you and then disappear completely. It repeats several times, so those who are not used to exercise might get quite tired. After the dolphins, we headed to a turtle point for more snorkeling.

Disposable underwater cameras are sold at ABC Store for about $15, so I think it's a good idea to bring one. However, taking pictures of swimming dolphins with an underwater camera is quite difficult. It's not easy to wear a life jacket, put on a mask, and look through the viewfinder at the same time.

A photographer also accompanies the group, and you can buy an image DVD for $70. Since it was a special memory, I decided to purchase it, and they took quite a number of photos. Those who are interested can sign up on the bus and then go to another company in Waikiki to buy it.

There were no snacks provided, but on the way back, we were served a bento box with three types of meat on rice and some water.

One thing to note is that the boat does sway, so those who are prone to seasickness might feel unwell. In fact, a few people looked quite exhausted, and there were a couple who were feeling sick... I might have been one of those who felt a bit queasy.

Even so, the staff had a great atmosphere, and I think it will be a fun memory. Whether it's the wetsuits or the DVDs, there was no sense of them pushing sales; it felt more like an option for those who wanted it. Tips and taxes are included, so the only cash you need to bring is the $10 for renting a wetsuit.

朝早い集合ですが、案内人のユリコさんがテンション高いし、運転手のドミンゴさんもすごくいい人。
ピックアップは宿泊のホテルとは限らず、最寄りのホテルになります。

現地に着くと、希望者にウエットスーツを１０＄で貸してくれます。
度付マスクも無料ですし、合うかどうかとりあえず試すこともできます。
私はコンタクトをしてふつうのマスクを使いましたが、これでも十分でした。

イルカは確かにたくさんいます。
でも野生のイルカなのでスキューバをしたときは目の前を通過したと思えば、まったくいなくなったり・・・。
何回か繰り返すので運動不足の人はけっこう疲れると思います。
イルカのあとは亀のポイントに向かい、そこで再びシュノーケリングです。

使い捨ての水中カメラは１５ドルくらいでＡＢＣストアで売ってますので、持っていくといいと思います。
ただ泳いでいるイルカを水中カメラで撮るのはすごく難しい。
ライフベストをつけてマスクをつけてファインダーを覗くのはなかなかできません。

カメラマンも同行していますので、イメージＤＶＤと一緒に７０ドルで買うことができます。
せっかくの思い出なので買ってみましたが、かなりの枚数が撮影されてました。
希望者はバスの中で申し込んだうえで、ワイキキの別の会社に買いに行きます。

またスナックはありませんでしたが、帰りにご飯の上に３種の肉が乗っかったお弁当とお水が出ました。

注意点としては船は揺れます。したがって酔う人は酔います。
実際何人かぐったりしてましたし、海に還元してるしてる人も数人・・・。
私も結構酔ってた方かも。

それでもスタッフの方の雰囲気もすごくいいし、楽しい思い出になると思います。
ウェットスーツにしてもＤＶＤにしても、商売っ気は感じなくて、希望者はどうぞという感じです。
チップも税金も込みですので、現金の持参はスーツをレンタルする場合の１０ドルだけです。

Encounter with a family of dolphins. イルカの家族に遭遇

Reviewed by: ayamori

It seems that the time I participated was during the breeding season, so the dolphin pod was a bit more cautious. However, when I followed the student council president of Dolphin Junior High, I was able to see dolphins swimming just within reach. Ultimately, I encountered a pod of 40 to 50 dolphins, and I was moved by an experience that I can't have in Japan! The sea turtle teacher also looked like it was enjoying the gentle waves.

参加した時期が繁殖期だったらしくイルカの群れも少し警戒心が強い時期だったみたいですが、イルカ中学の生徒会長についていくと……ほんと手の届きそうなところをいるかが泳いでいくのが見られました。
最終的に40~50頭の群れにも出会え、日本では出来ない経験に感動しました！！
ウミガメ先生も波に揺られて気持ちよさそうでした~。

This was my third time participating, and I had my first harvest of "0". 3回目の参加で初めての収穫「0」

Reviewed by: mamakuma

This time, I took my mother on an optional tour as a Mother's Day present. She was excited but nervous about snorkeling for the first time, and I thought that if we could see dolphins and tropical fish, her fear would surely disappear. Unfortunately, we spent about 90% of our time searching for dolphins, and while we caught a glimpse of them for a few minutes (5%) from the boat, we didn't see any once we got into the water (5%), and that was the end of it.

If 70% of the time had been spent searching for dolphins and the remaining 30% on snorkeling where we could definitely see tropical fish, we could have said, "We didn't see dolphins, but we saw so many beautiful fish, right?" I understand that dolphins are the main focus, but I think it would have been better if they had considered adjusting that ratio a bit.

Since this is not a cheap option, I believe everyone would have felt more satisfied if a vote had been taken before boarding. It's very disappointing. I can no longer recommend this to friends going to Hawaii. During this stay, there was not a single conversation about dolphins.

今回、母の日のプレゼントとして、オプショナルツアーに母を連れて行きました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでドキドキしていたのでイルカや熱帯魚がみれたらきっと大興奮でその恐怖も無くなるか思っていましたが、残念ながら、イルカ探しに90%ぐらい費やされ、船上では数分(5%)イルカの姿を見ることはできたものの、海の中(5%)に入ったら、全く見れず、それで終了になってしまいました。
イルカ探しに70%であとの30%は確実に見れる熱帯魚のシュノーケリングしてくれたら、イルカみれなかったけど、『きれいなお魚たくさん見れたからいいよね？』って話にもなるのに．．．．．。
イルカがメインなのはわかりますが、そこらへんの割合をもう少し考えてくだされと、良かったと思います。
安いオプションではないので、乗船前にでも多数決で決められれば、皆さんもっと納得がいったと思います。
非常に残念です。ハワイに行くお友達に薦められなくなりました。この滞在中、全くイルカ中学の思い出話は出ませんでした。

It seems to depend on luck, but I've never seen so many wild dolphins from above. I feel like no matter what I say, it won't convey the experience, so please try it for yourself.

But middle school is enough. Is university too much?

We gathered at 6 AM! I was a bit sleepy, but I was surprised to see that the local staff, including President Yuriko, were full of energy and positivity! It was a bit cold, but I had fun meeting the dolphin teacher. However, I couldn't swim with the dolphins due to my lack of swimming ability, so next time I want to improve my swimming skills and participate.

朝６時に集合！少々眠かったが学長のユリ子さんはじめ現地スタッフも元気（前向き）でびっくり！
ちょっと寒かったけどイルカ先生とも会えて楽しかった。ただ、泳力不足でイルカといっしょには泳げなかったので、次回は水泳の腕を磨いて参加したいと思います。

I was surprised to be able to swim so close to sea turtles and dolphins, even more than I had expected! At first, the sea turtle was down by the rocks, but it floated up to the surface, and I was able to see it swimming majestically right in front of me. I wasn't very confident in my swimming skills and was wearing a life jacket, so I thought I would only be able to see them from a distance, but both the sea turtles and dolphins came very close to the surface, making it possible for even those who can't swim to enjoy the experience. Moreover, the encounter rate with dolphins was said to be 96-98%. If I have the chance to go to Oahu again, I would definitely want to participate in this activity again. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.

期待していた以上に近くでウミガメやイルカと泳ぐことができてビックリ！！ウミガメは最初、下の岩の方にいたのですが、海面まで浮かび上がってきてくれて、ほんとに目の前で悠然と泳ぐウミガメを見ることができました。泳ぎに自信がなくライフジャケットを着用していたので、遠くでしか見られないかと思っていましたが、ウミガメもイルカもとても海面に近いところまで浮上してきてくれるので、泳げない人でも安心して一緒に泳ぐことができると思います。しかもイルカとの遭遇率は96~98％ということでした。次回オアフに行く機会があれば、また絶対参加したいアクティビティです。貴重な経験をさせていただいてありがとうございました。

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and this tour made it happen! The staff member (the principal of Dolphin Middle School) was bright and very friendly, sharing valuable information about Hawaii while we were in the car, making the ride enjoyable.

Once on board, the captain communicated with other boats via radio to get information about dolphin sightings, and we moved around in pursuit of them. This added to the excitement and made it fun.

When we finally encountered a pod of dolphins and got to swim with them, it was thrilling and moving! Moreover, we were lucky enough to encounter them twice, and we even got to swim with sea turtles. The sea turtles had beautiful eyes and their movements were adorable! The ocean and sky were both beautiful, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

以前からイルカと泳いでみたい！と思っていたのが今回のツーアで叶いました！
スタッフのお姉さん（イルカ中学の校長先生）は明るくて、とても気さくな方で移動の車中でもハワイのガイドをためになる生情報を入れながら楽しく話していただけました。
乗船してからはイルカ出没ポイントの情報を船長さん？が他の船の方から無線で連絡をもらいながら、イルカを追って、あちこち移動。これも臨場感があって、楽しかったです。
ついにイルカの群れと遭遇し、一緒に泳げた時は興奮と感動でした！！しかも、ラッキーなことに２度も遭遇、おまけに海亀と泳ぐ事もできました。海亀も眼がきれいで、しぐさが可愛かった！海も空もきれいで大変満足出来ました。

We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday in September with seven family members. It was my first experience wearing a wetsuit, using a snorkel and fins, and encountering wild dolphins. I'm already looking back at the photos of my mother’s joyful smile underwater.

I truly appreciate the help from YUMIKO. Without her thoughtfulness, my mother wouldn't have been able to swim as much or enjoy herself as much. Thank you very much.

母が９月で８０歳になるお祝いに家族７人で参加しました。
ウェットスーツを着るのも、シュノーケルや足ひれをつけるのも、野生のイルカに出会えたのも、何もかも初体験。母の嬉しそうな水中での笑顔の写真を帰宅して早速見返しています。

I can't believe it!! 信じられない！！

Reviewed by: ＭＩＴＯ

There were truly an unbelievable number of dolphins!!

When the captain spotted a pod of dolphins, the boat moved ahead to wait for the pod to approach. Then, at the guide's signal, we all jumped into the water and floated quietly... and suddenly we heard squeaking sounds from somewhere, and right after that, the pod of dolphins appeared, from the front, the sides, and below!! It was just an incredible sight!

There were some older folks who didn't get in the water, but I definitely recommend going in. You just float, so you don't need to know how to swim! For those who are anxious, the guide will be there to help, so it's very reassuring. Dolphin watching from the boat is nice, but actually swimming with them is just like a dream come true!☆

本っ当に、信じられないぐらいの数のイルカがいました！！

キャプテンがイルカの群れを見つけると、ボートがその群れを先回りし、群れが近づいてくるのを待ちます。そして、ガイドさんの合図でいっせいに海に入り、静かに浮いていると・・・どこからかキューキューというような声が聞こえ、その直後イルカの群れが、前やら横やら下やら！！とにかくすごい数！信じられない光景でした！！

年配の方で海に入らない方もいらっしゃいましたが、絶対に入った方がいいです。浮いているだけなので、泳げなくても大丈夫！不安な方にはガイドさんが付いてくれますし、安心ですよ。船からのイルカウォッチングもいいけど、実際に一緒に泳げるなんて！！夢のような時間でした☆

Family Trip

Reviewed by: Terry

My family and I went on the Hawaii Dolphin Swim & Snorkel on June 26, 2011 morning swim. It was beyond our expectations. We found dolphins right away and the captain and crew knew exactly where to find them. There were several dolphin pods and we were able to get pretty close to them but not touching them. 3 of them hovered about 5 feet below my wife and I making their squeal and clicking sounds. It was amazing. The snorkel equipment they provided was in good shape and very reliable. The boat was fine with plenty of room to move around and feel safe aboard. The crew was very professional, friendly and entertaining. The food was average but any time you've been in the water for a while, coming out to a hot burger is always delicious. I would highly recommend this trip especially if you want to get in the water. We also had time to freelance snorkel in an area 25 feet deep that had several sea turtles hanging out. They were fabulous to watch swim by you on their way to the surface

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a group. It was far from Waikiki, and since it was early in the morning, I originally didn't plan to go, but one of the members wanted to, so I joined them. I had seen reviews mentioning that there might be times when you don't encounter dolphins, so I thought I would enjoy snorkeling even if it didn't work out, and I participated without expectations. However, it was far more enjoyable than I had imagined.

Instead of a snorkeling experience where you lure fish with feeding, I was able to see real wild fish, and above all, I encountered a surprising number of dolphins and sea turtles. When I was peering into the ocean, I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. I made wonderful memories on my first trip to Hawaii.

Since it was early in the morning, most people were fast asleep on the way back, but we were able to return to Waikiki by early afternoon, so we could enjoy shopping and other activities afterward.

I would definitely like to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

グループで参加しました。
ワイキキから遠く、朝早いということもあり、もともと行く予定はなかったのですが、メンバーの一人が行きたいということで付き合いで参加しました。
口コミを見ていて、イルカに出会えないこともあるということでしたので、はずれでもシュノーケルを楽しもうと思い期待せずに参加したのですが、、、。
想像していたのをはるかに超える楽しさでした。
餌付けをして魚をおびき寄せるようなシュノーケルではなく本当の自然の魚たちを見ることができましたし、なによりイルカやウミガメにびっくりするくらいたくさん出会えました。海の中を覗いているときは時間を忘れてしまうぐらい夢中になっていました。
初めてのハワイですごく良い思い出ができました。
朝が早いということもあり、帰りの車ではほとんどの人が爆睡でしたが、お昼過ぎにはワイキキに戻ってくることができるので、そのあともゆっくり買い物などを楽しめます。

次にハワイに来るときには、またぜひ参加したいです。

They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean.

Reviewed by: Canuck

Thank you for a fun day. The ocean condition was a little less than ideal today, but I saw plenty of dolphines, whales, and even a turtle. It was amazing.
The staff members were very kind, entertaining, and plain fun people. I had a faburous day.

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but from the moment I got on the van during the early morning gathering, all my worries disappeared!

Our guide, Yuji, was really energetic and entertained everyone with various stories! It didn't take long to drive, maybe less than an hour? During the drive to our destination, we saw different scenery from Waikiki, and Yuji shared lots of interesting information, like the hospital where President Obama was born and the famous "this tree, that tree" spot.

Once we arrived at the yacht harbor, we boarded the boat, changed into our wetsuits, put on fins, and equipped ourselves with snorkeling gear to search for dolphins! We sang songs...♪ When we spotted dolphins, we all jumped in together! The moment I put my face in the water, I immediately heard the sound of dolphins. It was so moving... I can't even count how many dolphins we saw. We got to see them jumping up close and felt like we were in the same ocean at the same level as them.

After that, we went to a turtle spot. At a depth of about 15 meters, I saw three turtles swimming gently below. When I looked up, there was a turtle right next to me, swimming at the same level! I was a bit startled☆ but it was so cute. Although it was a dolphin tour, I was really moved to swim with the turtles.

On the way back, we enjoyed a leisurely tea time with everyone, having some tea and snacks♪ It felt like a little cruise! Participating alone was no problem at all. We were mostly in the water, and chatting on the boat was fun too. It became a wonderful memory♪

Thank you, Yuji!!!!

1人参加で少し不安はありましたが、早朝集合でバンに乗り込んだ瞬間から不安は吹っ飛びました！

ガイドのゆーじがテンション高くて♪色んなお話でみんなを楽しませてくれます！
車で1時間もかからなかったかな？到着するまでのドライブもワイキキとは違う風景を見ながら、ゆーじが色々と教えてくれます。オバマ大統領が産まれた病院とか、この木なんの木とか☆

ヨットハーバーに着き、船に乗り込んで船上でウェットスーツに着替え、足ひれを付け、シュノーケル装備をしてみんなでイルカを探します！歌をうたったり・・・♪
イルカを見つけたらみんなで飛び込めー♪
顔をつけた瞬間、真っ先にイルカの鳴き声が聞こえました。感動です・・・。
イルカは何匹見たかわからないほど見ることができました。間近でジャンプも見れて、同じ目線で同じ海でイルカを感じれました。
その後、海がめスポットに行きました。水深15mくらいのところで、下の方で海がめが3匹ほどゆらゆら泳いでました。顔を上げたらなんと！海がめが真横であたしと同じ目線で！泳いでます！ちょっと焦った☆でも可愛かったです。
イルカツアーだったけどあたしは海がめと一緒に泳げたことに感動しちゃいました。

帰りはゆっくりみんなでお茶やお菓子でティータイム♪ちょっとしたクルージングを楽しめます！
1人参加でも全然問題ないです。ほとんど海の中にいるし、船の上でのおしゃべりも楽しかったですよ。
いい思い出になりました♪

ゆーじ、ありがとう！！！！

Amazing!!! 最高！！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Last time I had a very disappointing experience on a different tour, so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much this time either... But it was incredible!!! We searched for dolphins, and when we found them, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked into the water, the dolphins were swimming really close by. I was so moved. Then, we also encountered sea turtles during the second hour. I was so impressed that I ended up participating twice during my stay (^O^)／ I highly recommend Dolphin Junior High. The staff were all really fun, and I'm glad I participated. I definitely plan to join again next time.

前回別のツアーでとても残念な思いをしたので、正直今回もあまり期待していなかったんですが・・・
とんでもない！！！
イルカを探し、見つけるとみんな一斉に海へ！
海を覗くと本当に近くにイルカ先生達が泳いでるんです。
もうこれには感激です。
そして、2時間目のウミガメ先生にも遭遇。
もう、感動しすぎて滞在中2回も参加しちゃいました(^O^)／
イルカ中学本当にお勧めです。
スタッフの方も本当に楽しい方ばかりで、参加して良かった。
次も必ず参加すると思います。

There are no words to express anything other than my emotions. 感動以外に表せる言葉が無いです

I was moved beyond words.

I was touched by the high transparency of the sea, where I could see the spotted patterns of rays swimming beneath the surface. I was also moved by the faint sounds of dolphins crying underwater, as if they were speaking to me, and by the attentive service of the staff... My heart was filled with wonderful sparkles.

This tour feels like swimming alongside wild dolphins while they are sleeping, which is quite different from the dolphin swims at Sea Life Park or the dolphin activities at the Kahala Hotel, where you can touch the dolphins closely. If you expect that kind of interaction, you might feel a bit unsatisfied...

However, you get to experience the dolphins in their natural, free state, and the majestic beauty of nature, which is incredibly healing.

I highly recommend this tour, where the stress from Japan melts away in the beautiful sea, leaving your heart feeling light!! I will definitely join again the next time I go to Oahu.

言葉じゃ言い表せないくらいの感動。

自然に感動して、海底に泳ぐエイのまだら模様まで
見えちゃうほどの透明度の高い海に感動して、
まるで自分に話しかけているかのような水中で聞こえる
かすかなイルカの泣き声に感動して、
スタッフさんのきめ細やかなご対応に感動して…
心の中にいっぱい素敵なキラキラが充電されました。

本当の野生のイルカが睡眠中の時にすぐそばを一緒になって
すーっと泳ぐという感じのツアーなので
シーライフパークのドルフィンスイムや
カハラホテルのドルフィンアクティビティとは
イルカにべたべた触れないという点がだいぶ違います。
それを期待して参加するとちょっと物足りない
気持になってしまうかも…

でも、その分狭い所に押し込まれていないイルカの
のびのびとした自由な姿や雄大な自然を感じ
ものすごーく癒されます。

日本でのストレスが綺麗な海に溶け出して
心が軽くなるようなツアー是非お勧めします！！
次回オアフに行くときはまた参加します

This is my second time. 2回目です。

I participated two years ago as well. This year, I swam with many dolphins again. Last time, I brought a jacket, but it was really cold while on the boat, so I was thinking of bringing a wetsuit this year, and there was a rental available. My family had an amazing time both last time and this time, but there were some people who couldn't get in the water at all due to seasickness, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely bring motion sickness medication.

I will definitely participate again next time.

おととしにも参加しました。
今年もたくさんのイルカたちといっしょに泳ぎました。
前回、上着を持って行ったものの、ボートに乗っているときに寒くて大変だったので、今年はウエットを持って行こうかと思っていたら、貸し出しがありました。
我が家は前回も今回もものすごく楽しめましたが、船酔いで
一度も海に入れなかった人もいるので、不安な人は必ず
酔い止めを持って行ったほうが良いと思います。

また次回も絶対に参加します。
