First time in Hawaii, dolphins 🐬, snorkeling 🐢. 初めてのハワイ、イルカ🐬、シュノーケリング🐢

Reviewed by: ともやん

This time, I participated in a dolphin watching and snorkeling tour in Hawaii for the first time. We were incredibly lucky to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins just 15 minutes after departure. There were quite a few dolphins swimming alongside and in front of the boat for a long time, and we even got to see them jumping. During snorkeling, I was able to swim very close to a green sea turtle.

On the way back, we were fortunate enough to see seven humpback whales at the same time, making it a miraculous day, and I had a truly satisfying experience. We were lucky to encounter the dolphins so quickly, but for those who don't get to see them, the boat has to circle around, and after snorkeling, it can get chilly, so I felt that motion sickness medication and cold weather precautions are necessary.

Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which allowed us to enjoy the experience even though we couldn't speak English.

今回、初めてのハワイでイルカウォッチングとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加させていただきました。
運がすごくよかったのが、出航15分でハシナガイルカの群に遭遇でき、かなりの数のイルカがとても長い時間、船の前や横を泳いでいて、ジャンプすら姿も見れ、シュノーケリングの際もアオウミガメのすぐ近くで泳げました。
帰りにザトウクジラも同時に7頭見れるという奇跡的な日だったので、すごく満足のできる体験をすることができました。
自分たちは、イルカもすぐ遭遇できたのでラッキーだったのですが、なかなかイルカに遭遇できないと船で色々回らなければいけず、シュノーケリングのあとは、身体も冷えるので酔い止めと寒さ対策は必要だと感じました。
また、スタッフの方の日本語ができる方がいたので、英語ができない自分たちでも楽しむことができました。

At the Dream Kahala! 夢のカハラで！

Reviewed by: きょん

I had always dreamed of having my wedding at the beautiful Kahala! One of the reasons for this was the Dolphin Lagoon. While there are other places in Japan and Hawaii where you can interact with dolphins, it meant a lot to me to connect with the dolphins at Kahala, so I was very satisfied.

Due to a mistake in my arrangements, I ended up participating alone, but before the quest, I enjoyed a morning buffet at the Plumeria House and took a lovely walk along the beautiful beach, creating very elegant and wonderful memories.

I spent about two hours exploring the lagoon, but there were no other Japanese people there. Everyone else was participating in the tour that involved entering the lagoon, but I felt that the mini quest was enough for me! It seemed that as long as you were dressed appropriately for getting wet, you didn't necessarily have to wear a swimsuit.

Since everything was in English, having some English skills would help you learn a lot about the dolphins, but even with none, I managed to get by.

結婚式をあげたかったほどの、憧れのカハラ！
その理由のひとつにドルフィンラグーンがある事でした◎
国内でもハワイでも、イルカに触れ合える場所は他にもありますが、カハラのイルカと触れ合うことに私には意味があったので大満足。
私の手配ミスで一人での参加になりましたが、クエストの前にプルメリアハウスでモーニングビュッフェを堪能し、美しいビーチを散歩してと、とても優雅で素敵な思い出になりました。
２時間ほどラグーンを見学していましたが、日本人はいませんでした。皆さん全員ラグーンに入水するツアーに参加されていましたが、私にはミニクエストで十分だと感じました！こちらは濡れても良い格好であれば、水着でなくても大丈夫そうでした。
英語オンリーなので英語力はあった方がイルカの話もたくさん教えてもらえますが、皆無でもなんとかはなりました＾＾;

With my mother in her 70s 70代の母と

Reviewed by: きょん

It was a very cloudy day, but we were lucky that the sun only shone when we arrived at the sandbar! My mother, in her 70s, didn't have a swimsuit, but she waded into the water up to her thighs wearing her shorts and a sun-protective hoodie, excitedly exclaiming, "I haven't been in the ocean in decades!" (laughs) After returning to the boat, she changed in the restroom to avoid getting cold.

It was a bit disappointing that the tour didn't include stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), as my mother had expressed interest in trying it, but it was just the right tour for us since we weren't planning to get in the water. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were attentive throughout and shared various stories about Hawaii, which was also very enjoyable. They have a wealth of experience related to the tour and are properly qualified.

Next time, I plan to try snorkeling and SUP at the emerald green sandbar with this company on a sunny day!

どん曇りの一日でしたが、サンドバーに着いた時にだけ日差しが差し込み、とてもラッキーでした！
70代の母も、水着が無いなりに手持ちのショートパンツと日除けパーカーで股まで着水し、「数十年ぶりに海に入ったわ！」と興奮しておりました(笑)船に戻った後は、体を冷やさないようトイレで着替えておりました。

母が「ＳＵＰしてみたい」と言っていたので含まれていなかった点は残念でしたが、海に浸かるつもりの無かった私たちにはちょうど良いツアーでした。
日本語が堪能なスタッフさんは終始皆さんに気配りくださり、ハワイの色々なお話を聞けたことも大変良かったです＾＾ツアーに関する経験も豊富で、資格もきっちり備えていらっしゃるそうです。

次はまたこちらの会社さんで、晴れたエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーで、シュノーケルとＳＵＰに挑戦してみようと思います！

I was able to see whales, dolphins, and turtles all together. クジラ・イルカ・カメを全部見ることができました。

Reviewed by: でーら

I was lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and turtles all in one trip. We saw five whales, 15 dolphins, one turtle in the sea, and three on land. I'm not very good at snorkeling, so I watched the dolphins from above the water, and my snorkeling experience was only about 15 minutes, but I was very satisfied. However, the boat was really rocky, and since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication the night before and in the morning, which helped me manage. Unfortunately, another group of Japanese tourists was vomiting the whole time. Also, the boat ride and the bus back were cold after snorkeling, so it's essential to have something to wear.

運が良かったのが、クジラ・イルカ・カメを全部見ることができました。
クジラは５頭、イルカは15頭、カメは海で１匹、陸で３匹でした。
シュノーケルはあまり得意はないので、イルカは海の上から見て、シュノーケルも15分程度の体験でしたが、非常に満足しました。
ただ、船の揺れはすごく、自分はかなり船酔いするタイプなので、前日の夜と当日の朝に酔い止めを飲んでなんとか平気でしたが、もう一組の日本人はずっと吐いてました。
また、シュノーケル後の船と帰りのバスは寒いので、羽織るものは必須です。

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: うさぎ

I have visited Kualoa Ranch many times, and I usually only did horseback riding, but due to the weak yen, I made a reservation for this experience this time. I was surprised to find such a place within Kualoa Ranch. However, the lunch was not good, and wild birds came to the dining area, making it very difficult to eat slowly. I wonder if it was hygienic? As for the afternoon cruise, it was very refreshing, but it was different from what I had expected, and I felt scared due to the strong winds. The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content at all.

クアロアランチには何度も来ていて、いつもは乗馬だけでしたが、円安の状況で今回の内容で予約をしました。クアロアランチ内にあんな場所かあったとは驚きでした。ただランチの内容は良くなかったし、食事の場所に野鳥が来てとてもゆっくり食べれませんでした。衛生的にも良くないかと？午後からのクルーズですが、思っていたクルーズとは違いとても新鮮でしたが、強風にあおられて恐怖を感じました。英語でのでの説明でしたので内容も全く分かりませんでした。

I participated in a dolphin watching and snorkeling tour. Overall, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the views of the sea and mountains were beautiful, which really lifted my spirits during the trip. Although I couldn't swim with the dolphins this time, I was lucky to see them up close, and it was said that encountering two different species of dolphins is quite rare (about once in ten times). The sight of the dolphins surfing on the waves created by the boat was also impressive.

During snorkeling, I was able to see many sea turtles and schools of fish, which made me very satisfied. The underwater world was more lively than I had imagined, and time flew by. The sandwiches for lunch and the potato chips for snacks were delicious and added a nice touch to the experience.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but Ken provided interpretation and support, making the trivia and explanations easy to understand, which allowed us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

One point to note is that the air conditioning on the bus was quite strong, making it very cold, and I noticed several people around me wrapped in beach towels. I also used a beach towel to keep warm, so I think having something to wear would be reassuring. Additionally, after coming out of the water, I felt quite cold, so a jacket is essential. It was mentioned that the boat can sway quite a bit on certain days, so having motion sickness medication ready would also be a good idea.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable tour.

イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケルに参加しました。全体的に雰囲気がとてもよく、海と山の眺めもきれいで、移動中から気分が上がりました。今回はイルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、船のすぐ近くでイルカを見ることができ、さらに2種類のイルカに出会えたのはとてもラッキーだったそうです（見られるのは10回に1回くらいとのこと）。イルカが船の波で楽しそうにサーフィンしている姿も印象的でした。

シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの海亀や魚の大群を見ることができて大満足。海の中は想像以上ににぎやかで、時間があっという間に感じました。ランチのサンドイッチやおやつのポテトチップスも美味しく、ちょっとした楽しみになりました。

参加者の中で日本人は私たちだけでしたが、Kenさんが通訳やフォローをしてくれて、豆知識や説明も分かりやすく、安心して楽しむことができました。

一点だけ、行きのバスがかなり冷房が効いていてとても寒く、周りでもバスタオルをかぶっている人が何人かいました。私もバスタオルで寒さをしのいだので、羽織れるものがあると安心だと思います。また、海から上がった後もかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。日によっては揺れが強いこともあるそうなので、酔い止めも用意しておくと安心だと思います。

全体として、とても楽しく思い出に残るツアーでした。

It was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and everything was amazing! I joined this tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins, and with our Japanese guide Ken, I felt safe and enjoyed it from start to finish! He was very knowledgeable, and just listening to him was fun, but I never expected to see whales as well. I was told that if you see a whale's tail, happiness will come, so I'm looking forward to what’s next. This experience included a slide on the boat, which was more thrilling than I imagined! It was so much fun! I want to come back to Hawaii again for some kind of celebration.

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイでしたが全てが最高でした！野生のイルカが見たくてこのツアーに参加しましたが日本人ガイドのKENさんがいて最初から最後まで安心して楽しめました！知識が豊富で聞いてるだけでも楽しかったのにまさかクジラまで会えるとは思いませんでした。クジラの尾びれが見れたら幸せが訪れると教えて頂いたのでこれからが楽しみです。この体験では船に滑り台がついてて想像以上にスリル満載でした！楽しかったです！また何かの記念でハワイに戻ってきたいと思います。

I highly recommend it for families with kids. The staff who spoke Japanese (local people?) were very kind.

Be sure to check the timing and time slots. 時期と時間帯は要チェックです

Reviewed by: ドンデコルテ

**[Positive Aspects]**
During the transfer, the driver kindly introduced us to recommended restaurants along the way. He was very friendly and left a good impression.

We were able to see sea turtles. We took photos from the boat and also saw them swimming nearby while snorkeling.

It was great to take commemorative photos while doing activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

**[Negative Aspects]**
The time when you can see sandbars like those shown in guidebooks and on websites is quite limited. Although we were there during a relatively low tide, the sand was completely submerged, and the water level was above an adult's waist.

This is due to weather conditions, so there's not much that can be done, but on the day we participated, there were strong winds, and the current was quite fast. The SUP was being swept away, so it didn't feel like a leisurely activity, and we ended up exhausting ourselves.

Again, this is due to the weather, but because it had rained right before and there were strong winds during the activity, the sea didn't look very clear. (We didn't see many fish while snorkeling.)

Additionally, there were participants who were confused when they were told on-site that you cannot participate in snorkeling if you can't swim. I think it would be good to include this information in the participation guidelines.

**[Varies by Person]**
As mentioned by another reviewer, the Japanese-speaking staff used casual language throughout. While some may appreciate having someone who can communicate in Japanese during an activity abroad, others might find this somewhat rude. I think this depends on how individuals perceive the quality of service relative to the price paid.

Since the staff cannot judge how well someone can swim, I understand that self-assessment is necessary, but I think it would be helpful to have some criteria or steps to determine participation eligibility in shallow areas. Some people might feel like they were treated coldly or dismissed.

【良かった】
送迎の際にはドライバーの方が道中にあるおすすめレストランなど紹介してくれました。とても親切な方で好印象でした。

ウミガメを見ることができました。船上から写真を撮ることも、シュノーケリング中に近くを泳いでいるところを見ることもできました。

SUPなどしながら記念撮影できたのはよかったです。

【悪かった】
ガイドブックやサイトHPに掲載されている写真ようなサンドバーがみられる時期はかなり限られています。比較的干潮に近い時間帯でしたが砂は全く見えず、水位は大人の腰より上でした。

これは天候によるものなのでどうしようもないですが、自分たちが参加した日は強風で、潮の流れがかなり早かったです。SUPもどんどん流されてしまうので、優雅に遊ぶという感じではなく、体力を消耗しました。

これも天候によるので仕方ないですが、直前まで雨が降っていたことと、アクティビティの時間帯に強風が吹いていたため、海はあまりきれいに見えませんでした。（シュノーケリングはあまり魚を見つけられませんでした。）

また、平泳ぎができないとシュノーケリングには参加できない。ということを現場で伝えられて戸惑っている方がいました。参加時の注意事項に記載してもよいかと思いました。


【人による】
別の方も口コミで書かれていましたが、日本語スタッフの方は終始タメ口でした。
海外で参加するアクティビティにもかかわらず、日本語でコミュニケーションをとることが可能な方がいてくれるのでありがたい。ととらえる方もいると思いますし、応対がやや失礼に感じると思う方もいると思います。これは払った料金とサービスの質を各位がどうとらえるかによるかと思います。

どの程度泳げるのかはスタッフでは判断できないので自己判断というのは分からなくもないですが、目安となる基準や、浅瀬で参加可否を判断してもらうためのステップとかはあってもいいのではないかと思いました。人によっては冷たく突き放されたように感じてしまうかと思いました。

Perseverance Pays Off in Dolphin Watching 粘り勝ちのイルカウォッチング

Reviewed by: ドナルド

On this day, I had requested a Japanese tour for dolphin watching by myself, and as a result, I was able to have a one-on-one experience. The guide spent over an hour searching the sea to find dolphins, visiting various points, and finally, we were able to encounter them. Because they worked so hard for a long time, the excitement of that moment was immense.

The guide, Fuko, shared a lot of interesting facts about Hawaii, and I was able to enjoy my time on the boat throughout the trip. Although I had some swimming experience, it was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the careful instruction I received, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The lunch we had at the end of the tour was also very delicious, making it a fulfilling day that satisfied both my heart and my stomach.

この日は、私一人でイルカウォッチングの日本語ツアーをお願いしていたのですが、結果的に1対1で対応していただくことができました。
イルカを見つけるために、1時間以上にわたって海の上を探し回ってくださり、さまざまなポイントを巡った末、ついにイルカに出会うことができました。長い時間をかけて一生懸命探してくださったからこそ、その瞬間の感動はとても大きかったです。
