I think I came to Hawaii for this. This made me like Hawaii! The first thing I did after iClouding every video of dolphins was buying a shirts that says i love hawaii. I saw so many dolphins and knew that they are much more adorable than i have thought of. They are very curious that they circle around humans, and come really close to boat.

I was lucky to participate just before the travel ban to Hawaii. I was surprised to learn that dolphins can be found surprisingly close to the shore (though it might have just been that time).
Things I hope can be improved and some disappointments:
- Since I prefer renting a car during my stay, I didn't need transportation, so it would be nice to have a discount system for that.
- The term "light snack" was used, but it was more like a snack. It definitely wasn't a meal.
- I was told there would be a graduation gift, but there was no such present at all. Even a single pen would have been a nice keepsake, so it was disappointing.
ハワイ渡航禁止になる直前に参加できたのはラッキーでした。
イルカは意外と岸に近いところに居るもんだと、初めて知りました。(この時だけだったのかもしれませんが)
改善していただけたらと思うことや、残念だったこと。
・当方は滞在中レンタカー派なので、送迎不要だったのですが、その場合は少しはディスカウント制度があればありがたいかと。
・軽食という表記ですが、あれなスナックですね。決して食事ではなかったです。
・卒業記念品をいただけるとのことでしたが、全くそういうプレゼントは無かったです。たとえボールペン1本でも記念になるのにと残念でした。
Thank you for participating in the tour.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the encounter with the dolphins.
However, I understand that there were some aspects that did not meet your expectations, which is unfortunate.
Regarding the snack options you mentioned, please note that we categorize the spam musubi as a light snack.
Additionally, as stated on the tour page and voucher, the method for receiving the graduation memorabilia will be explained by the guide on the day of the tour. It will be provided at our Waikiki office, so we appreciate your understanding.

It was absolutely amazing!!! The day before we went, it took three hours to see dolphins, but on this day, we encountered a pod just 15 minutes after reaching the spot!!! We got to swim with them over and over again. It was March, but I managed to swim without a wetsuit (it might have been better if I had borrowed one??).

I participated in a dolphin tour during the second half of my trip to Hawaii. Most of the trip was rainy and quite chilly, but on this day, it was sunny from the morning, and the temperature was high, making for a comfortable tour. I was worried about whether I would see dolphins, but I was truly moved to see them three times. When a dolphin passed right in front of me, I got goosebumps. Additionally, during the snorkeling time, I was able to see many sea turtles, making it a truly fulfilling tour. Since it was a family trip, I also enjoyed dancing with everyone on the boat during the tour. I would love to participate again.
ハワイ旅行後半にイルカ中学に参加しました。旅行中のほとんどが雨が多く肌寒いことも多かったのですが、この日は朝から快晴で気温も高く快適なツアーになりました。一番のお目当てのイルカが見れるかが心配でしたが、3度も見ることができ本当に感動でした。目の前をイルカが通過したときは鳥肌が立ちました。またシュノーケリング時間でもウミガメをたくさん見ることができて本当に充実したツアーになりました。家族単独旅行でしたのでこのツアーで他の皆さんと船上でダンスしたのも楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

I heard that it can take time to find a pod of dolphins depending on the day, but when I participated in February, it took 4 hours to swim with the dolphins (sometimes they can be found in about 30 minutes). They generally stick around for hours until they find them, so it's wise not to schedule anything else after the tour.
However, even if it takes time to encounter the dolphins, you can swim with whales, turtles, and various fish in the meantime, which makes for a very satisfying experience. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, making it a great tour.
日によってイルカの群れを見つけるまで時間が掛かることがあるとの事だったのですが、
2月に参加した際はイルカと泳ぐまで4時間かかりました(早い時は30分くらいで見つけられるらしい)。
基本的に見つかるまで何時間も粘ってくれるので、ツアーの後に他の予定は入れておかない方が賢明です。
しかしイルカに出会うまで時間がかかっても、それまでクジラ、カメやいろんな魚と泳ぐ事が出来るので、とても満足度が高いです。
スタッフの方々も親切でアットホームで、良いツアーでした。

Next, I definitely want to participate in a school in Hawaii where I can swim without wearing a life jacket.

I signed up after seeing the tour title and a photo of dolphins swimming. It turned out that we were just swimming in the same space as the dolphins (even though we were actually far apart in the ocean, around the surface). Since it was different from being in a confined enclosure, there was no way to swim with wild dolphins. My elementary school daughter was really disappointed, as we had joined the tour with the expectation of swimming with dolphins.
ツアータイトルとイルカが泳いでいる写真を見て申し込んでしまいました。
イルカが泳いでいる海と同じ空間(海の中と海面あたりで実際は遠く離れていたが)を勝手に泳ぐだけでしたね。
囲われた生簀の中と違うのだから、野生のイルカと一緒に泳げるわけないですね。
イルカと一緒に泳げるらしいよと期待させてのツアー参加だったので、小学生の娘は可哀想なくらいがっかりしていました。

Thank you for participating in the Private Dolphin Middle School.
Unlike an aquarium, this experience involves encounters with wild dolphins. While there is a high probability of sightings, the chances of meeting dolphins can vary from day to day. There are often opportunities to see them up close, so if you have the chance, we would be grateful if you could try again.

I was hoping to get a bit closer to the dolphins and enjoy them more, but they were farther away than I expected, so I might have had my hopes up too high. It was also disappointing that the snorkeling was canceled due to slightly high waves. However, the guide was a fun person, which was nice.
もう少しイルカの近くに接近して楽しめるのかなと思っていましたが、思ったより遠目で少し見えただけなのでちょっと期待しすぎたかもしれません。その後のシュノーケリングも波が少し高いとのことで中止になったのも残念でした。ただガイドさんは楽しい方で良かったです。

There were fewer people, so it was a joint tour with the Dolphin University group. Therefore, it was on a two-story boat. This was my second time participating, but I preferred the previous tour that was only with Dolphin Junior High. The single-story boat had a sense of openness, and personally, I didn't think the hula dance was necessary. During the final hula dance, only some people from the university and the crew were really getting into it, while we, including the junior high students, seemed quite exhausted and a bit disengaged. I understood that the snacks were different for the junior high and university, but it didn't feel good to see that disparity right in front of us.
It was quite intense, but the junior high tour was a good one that eliminated unnecessary elements, so I would definitely like to see the junior high operate on its own. I think I will participate again next time.
人数が少なかったのか、イルカ大学の方達と合同でのツアーでした。なので2階建てのボートでした。2回目の参加だったのですが、前回のイルカ中学だけのツアーの方が良かったです。ボートも一階建て?で開放感がありましたし、私的にアロハダンス?は必要なかったので。最後のアロハダンスで盛り上がってるのは大学の一部の方達と、クルーの方々だけで、私たちを含め中学の方達はかなりしんどそうで若干シラけていました。軽食も中学と大学で内容が違うのは分かっていましたが、目の前で格差が生まれるので良い気分ではなかったです。
結構スパルタですが、中学のほうは無駄を省いた良いツアーなので、ぜひ中学は中学のみで運行してもらいたいです。また次回も参加すると思います。

The boat used may differ from the usual one due to inspections and reservation status, or we may use a joint boat with Dolphin University.

Additionally, Hawaiian dance is typically experienced by everyone at Dolphin Middle School and Dolphin University.

I participated on December 31st, New Year's Eve. The staff were bright and friendly, and I had a great time on the bus! The day I joined, it seemed like the highest waves of the year were coming in, so I was worried about seasickness, but out in the open water, the waves weren't that bad, and I was fine. However, I think taking motion sickness medication is a must. Also, bananas are not allowed.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10, and I highly recommend doing this. Almost everyone rented one, and those who didn't ended up borrowing one after getting cold from being in the seawater. Make sure to bring cash.
As for the dolphins, they didn't show up for a while (they said they don't feed them at all), and it took some time to finally see them. However, they didn't swim close like in other people's photos; they just glided by at the bottom. This is something that can't be helped when dealing with nature.
It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't go snorkeling at the spot we were supposed to due to rough seas, and we spent a lot of time searching for dolphins, leaving us with very little time for snorkeling. However, all the staff were really nice, and I had a great time, so I'm very satisfied.
I definitely want to try again!
12月31日の大晦日に参加しました。
スタッフさんが明るく親切で移動のバスの中でも楽しく過ごせました!
参加した日は今年1番の高い波がきてたらしく船酔いを心配しましたが、沖の方はそれほど波もなく自分は大丈夫でした。ただ酔い止めは必須だと思います。
あとバナナは持ってきたらダメです。
ウェットスーツを10ドルでレンタルできるのですがこれは絶対した方がいいです。ほぼ全員レンタルしており、してなかった人も一度海水から上がると冷えてきたのか結局借りてました。
現金持参しておきましょう。
肝心のイルカですが中々姿を現してくれず(餌付けは全くしてないそうです)時間かけてやっと見れましたが他の方の写真のような直近で泳いでたわけではなく、底の方をスーと通りすぎる感じでした。こればかりは自然相手なので仕方ないと思います。
海が荒れており本来行くはずだったスポットでシュノーケリングが出来なかったのと、イルカ捜索に時間かかっ

【What I Liked】
It's not just exaggerated promotional phrases; you can really swim with the sea turtles. I was also able to see dolphins up close. The sea turtles and dolphins in the area we were taken to seemed to be quite relaxed and accustomed to humans. They were truly adorable...
Additionally, the Japanese staff were extremely kind, attentive, and helpful. I participated in a couple of other marine activity tours, but this one stood out for its exceptional kindness. I highly recommend it!
【Advice for Future Participants】
Definitely take motion sickness medication. I usually have a strong sense of balance and have never experienced seasickness, but I got quite seasick on this tour... I don't usually exercise, so swimming was very tough for me, and I think that contributed to it. In any case, it's better to take the medication, so make sure to do so!!
【気に入ったところ】
大袈裟な宣伝文句ではなく、本当にホヌといっしょに泳げるところです。イルカもかなり近いところから見ることができました。連れて行っていただいた海域のホヌやイルカは警戒心が薄く、人間に慣れている感じがしました。本当にかわいかったです……。
また、日本人スタッフの方が非常に親切で、面倒見が良く、助かりました。ほかにも2か所ほどマリンアクティビティのツアーに参加しましたが、飛び抜けて親切でした。おすすめです!
【これから参加する方へのアドバイス】
酔い止めは絶対に飲みましょう。三半規管はかなり強い方で、船酔いをしたことはなかったのですが、このツアーではしたたかに酔いました……。ふだん運動をしないので、泳ぐのが非常につらく、そのせいもあると思います。とにかく飲んで損はないので酔い止めを飲みましょう!!

It was a fun cruise thanks to the smiles of everyone at Private Dolphin Middle School and the charm of Captain "Papa." At first, we couldn't see any dolphins, but they patiently searched for us. We were able to encounter a pod of about 30 dolphins. I was very satisfied.
私立イルカ中学の皆さんの笑顔と、船長「パパ」さんの魅力で楽しいクルーズでした。はじめは、イルカに会えませんでしたが、粘り強く探してくださって。30頭ほどの群れに遭遇することができました。大満足でした。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the turtles, but I had the precious experience of swimming with dolphins. I also enjoyed the spam musubi for lunch and got to see the staff's hula dance, making the most of my half day in Hawaii. I am very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again next time I come to Hawaii.
残念ながらカメを見ることはできませんでしたが、イルカと泳ぐとゆう貴重な体験ができました。お昼のスパムおにぎりやスタッフの方のフラダンスも見れてハワイを半日で満喫できました。大満足です。次回ハワイにきた際もぜひ参加したいです。

We set sail from the port and quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot after receiving instructions. One by one, we entered the water and swam with the guide, where we were able to see many dolphins up close. I swam with my child, and both of us were moved by the experience. I think we spent about 15 minutes in the water. The dolphins seemed to stay in the area, so I wished we could have swum a bit longer. Since we were swimming in the open sea, if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to chase the dolphins, so I recommend building up your endurance before participating. My 62-year-old mother didn't have enough stamina and got tired just from swimming, so she had to get out of the water before seeing the dolphins. Next time, I want to invite other family members to join us.
港を出港してシュノーケリングの指導を受けているとすぐにポイントに到着しました。
順番に海に入りガイドさんと泳いでいくと、たくさんのイルカを間近で見る事が出来ました。
子供と一緒に泳ぎましたが、親子とも感動しました。
時間にして15分くらいだったと思います。
イルカたちはずっとその場にいたようなので、もう少し長く泳いでいたかったです。
沖で泳ぐので体力がないとイルカを追いかけられないので、しっかり体力作りをして参加することをオススメします。
62歳の母は体力がなく、泳ぐだけで疲れてしまい、イルカを見る前に海から上がってしまいました。
次回は他の家族も誘い参加したいです。

I participated with my husband.
There were plenty of dolphins, which was satisfying, but it's a shame we couldn't go to the snorkeling point.
Also, it seems that free diving is prohibited on Oahu, so we couldn't dive.
We just floated around with life jackets.
The photos on the site showed beautiful diving (maybe from the Big Island?), and there were no warnings mentioned, so I didn't know and was really looking forward to it, which is disappointing.
夫と参加しました。
イルカはたくさんいて満足なのですが、シュノーケリングポイントにいけなかったのが残念です。
また、オアフ島では素潜りが禁止されているようで、潜れませんでした。
ライフジャケットでぷかぷかするだけ。
サイトの写真では綺麗に潜っていたし(ハワイ島のかな?)注意事項も書いてなかったので知らなくて、すごく楽しみにしていたのに残念。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program.
In the Oahu tour, wearing life jackets is mandatory for everyone.
For the Hawaii Island tour, depending on the sea conditions on the day, there may be opportunities to dive, so we would be grateful if you could join us.

I heard that you can swim with dolphins over 90% of the time, but on the day I participated, I could see the dolphins but couldn't swim with them, which was a bit disappointing. Since it's nature, I understand, but I was really looking forward to it... The tour company staff worked hard to find them, but sometimes these things happen.
Also, I participated in the second trip, but the meal was just one spam rice ball and a drink. I was really hungry on the way back. I hope they can improve the meals a bit.
90%以上でイルカと泳げるらしいのですが、私が参加した日はイルカは見えましたが、イルカとは泳げず少しがっかり。自然相手なので仕方ないですが、楽しみにしていだけに。。。。ツアー会社の方も一生懸命探してくれましたが、こんな日もあります。
それから2便での参加だったのですが、食事がスパム系のおにぎり1個と飲み物だけ。帰りのバスは腹ペコで困りました。食事はもう少し改善して欲しいと思いました。
