Oahu
It was a wonderful activity. The ocean on the West Coast is beautiful, and I was healed by the dolphins. I recommend that those with a short stay also participate.
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to consider participating.
すばらしい、アクティビティでした。西海岸の海は綺麗ですし、イルカに癒されました。滞在期間が短い方も参加することをお勧めします。
またハワイに行く機会がありましたら、参加を検討したいと思います。

Dolphin University? What is a university? I thought I would just swim with dolphins when I signed up. In the first and second hours, we prayed, sang, and danced, and of course, we were able to swim with dolphins too. I had a variety of experiences unique to Hawaii, and I was satisfied!! Satisfied!! It was really fun.
イルカ大学？大学って何？ただイルカと泳ぐのだと思って参加しました １時間目２時間目次々にお祈りしたり歌ったり踊ったりもちろんイルカと泳ぐこともできました いろいろなハワイならではの体験ができて満足!!満足!!本当に楽しかったです

I was amazed by the size of the sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean was just as I had heard. While snorkeling, I felt my physical limits. The waves were rough, and it was disappointing that I couldn't see anything! (I was grateful for the help that came to me, haha.) Spending time in such a beautiful place with my son, who is studying abroad at UH, became an unforgettable memory.
ウミガメの大きさには驚きました。海の美しさも評判通りでした。シュノーケルでは体力の限界を感じました。波が荒くて何も見えなくて残念！（助けにきてくださって助かりました(笑)）
UHに留学中の息子と久しぶりにあんなに美しい場所で過ごせて一生忘れない思い出になりました。

We were blessed with clear skies and low tide, allowing us to enjoy the heavenly sea.
A sea turtle swam right up to us in the vast sandy beach that was dry up to our ankles.
Although it didn't completely dry up, we were able to fully appreciate its beauty.
The guide was also enjoyable and provided excellent navigation, which made us feel at ease.
晴天にも恵まれ、干潮にも恵まれ天国の海を楽しめました。
足首まで干上がった広大な砂浜に、ウミガメが目前までスイスイと泳いでいます。
完全に干上がるまではいきませんでしたが、十分美しさを堪能できました。
またガイドの方も楽しく、しっかりとナビゲーションしてくださるので安心できました

It was a bit cloudy and cold in December, but the sea was incredibly beautiful and I was moved!
The lunch was also luxurious and I was very satisfied! ☆

Early morning pickup and departure in the rain.
However, when we arrived at the destination, the rain stopped, and we were delighted to enjoy some malasadas♪
Since it was too cold in just our swimsuits, we rented wetsuits for $10.
On the way to the spot where we could see dolphins, we encountered whales, which got my friend and me really excited!
We were able to swim with a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle, so we were very satisfied! ^^
朝早くのピックアップ＋雨が降るなかでの出発。
しかし現地に着くと雨も上がり、マラサダも食べれてご満悦♪
水着だけでは寒いということで＄10でウェットスーツを借りました。
イルカに遭えるスポットに行くまでクジラに遭遇で友人と共に大興奮!
イルカの群れとも泳げたし、ウミガメにも遭えたので大満足でした！^^

We gathered early in the morning, but the staff's energetic response really lifted our spirits!!!
While traveling by bus, we bought some salad and headed to the West Coast. Along the way, we spotted a whale, which further boosted our excitement!!!
Upon arriving at the West Coast, we boarded the boat and set off! After receiving a full explanation, we spotted a manta ray!!!
Then, we immediately saw dolphins!!!!!! We dove into the sea!!!!! We got to see dolphins and sea turtles, which made us even more excited!!!!!
I felt a bit unsatisfied, but that was made up for with the marine sports.
We also enjoyed hamburgers (which were a bit cold, haha) on the boat and were very satisfied♪ That's all!
朝早くからの集合でしたが
スタッフさんの元気な対応でテンションup!!!
バスで移動中マサラダを購入し、西海岸へ移動。
途中クジラを見れて更にテンションup!!!
西海岸に着くと船に乗り出発！
説明を一通り受け、途中マンタ発見!!!
すぐさまイルカ発見!!!!!!
海へダイブ!!!!!
イルカも見れてウミガメも見れてテンションupupup!!!!!
少し物足りなさを感じましたが
そのあとの、マリンスポーツでチャラ
更に船でハンバーガー（少し冷たい笑）を食べて大満足♪
以上！

I participated in an afternoon BBQ lunch tour.
I wanted to walk on the sand where the water had receded, but the water level was about 15 to 20 centimeters, which was a bit disappointing... Still, the beauty of the ocean and the surrounding scenery was truly amazing!! After walking on the sandbar, I snorkeled for about 20 minutes, but it was quite cold. A sea turtle swam right by me, and I was able to see it up close.
All the staff were very friendly, and I had a really enjoyable time!♪♪
午後のBBQランチ付きツアーに参加しました。
水の引いた砂の上を歩きたかったのですが、水位が１５~２０センチほどありちょっと残念でした・・・
それでも海の綺麗さ、周りの景色は本当に最高でした！！
サンドバーウォーキングの後は、シュノーケリングを２０分ほどしたのですがかなり寒かったです。泳いでいるすぐそばを海ガメが通りすぎて間近で見ることができました。
スタッフの方の皆さん感じがよく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができましたっ♪♪

Early morning gathering.
My husband, my middle school daughter, and I participated.
Yuriko mentioned that she couldn't meet the dolphin teacher the day before, but we were lucky enough to see a whale. We also saw dolphins perfectly. The scenery was amazing. The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious.
Photos from the tour are available on DVD for those who wish to purchase them.
We bought one and watched it after returning home, and I thought it was a nice keepsake of our memories.
It became a great memory with the people who participated in the tour together.
早朝の集合。
主人、中学生の娘と参加しました。
前日はイルカ先生に会えなかったとユリ子さんが言ってましたが、私達はラッキーなことに、くじらまで見ることができました。
イルカもバッチリ。
景色も最高。
ランチのチーズバーガーも美味しかったです。
ツアー中の写真がDVDとして発売され希望者は購入できます。
私達は購入して帰ってから見ましたが、思い出の一品として
良かったと思いました。
一緒にツアーに参加された方達との良い思い出になりました。

I participated this time with my 9-year-old daughter and my 60-year-old grandmother. Given the age difference, I had some concerns, but it was an activity that everyone, from children to the elderly, could participate in with peace of mind. Seeing the two of them, 51 years apart in age, having the same experience and feeling the same emotions made me realize just how amazing dolphins and sea turtles are! My daughter wrote in her winter vacation diary, "I received power from the Earth."
I truly believe that words cannot convey this experience, and I hope everyone can feel the emotions directly.
It was wonderful to spend the end of the year at Dolphin University. I will definitely re-enroll.
今回９才の娘、６０才のおばあちゃんと参加させていただきました。年齢のこともあり多少の不安もありましたが子供からお年寄りまで安心して参加できるアクティビティでした。その差５１才の二人が同じ体験をして同じように感動してる姿をみてイルカってウミガメってすごい！！！って改めて感じました。娘は「地球からパワーもらった」と冬休みの絵日記に書いていました。
是非是非、皆さんにも言葉では伝わらないかと思います、じかに感動を感じてほしいと思います。
一年の締めくくりをイルカ大学で過ごせてとてもよかったです。必ず再入学します。

Depending on the weather and other conditions, if you're lucky, you can see a scene resembling a sandbar floating in the sea.
When we went, we were fortunate enough to see such a sight.
We were also able to see a few sea turtles.
I think it's worth participating if you go there.
天候等の条件によりますが、運が良いと海に浮かぶ砂洲のような光景が見られます。
私達が行った時は、運良くそのような光景が見られました。
また、ウミガメも数匹見ることができました。
現地に行ったら、参加する価値はあると思います。

We left before sunrise, and I was worried because it was cloudy and drizzling in Waikiki, but by the time we reached West Oahu, it was completely clear and sunny.
On the way, we stopped by Leonard's, famous for its malasadas. They give you just one, but one is not enough!!! I found myself wishing for some coffee too. I wanted to eat more, but there was a line inside, so it was a shame we couldn't stay long.
On the boat, the cheerful staff were waiting for us and really livened up the class.
When it was finally time to meet the dolphins, everyone was super excited! We were lucky that day and encountered a pod of over 50 dolphins.
What we saw underwater was just a small part of the pod, and the time was shorter than I expected, but hearing the dolphins' calls right after entering the water was very impressive and moving. However, even though it's always summer in Hawaii, winter is still winter. The water temperature is quite cold, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. Since it's paid, if you have your own, it might be a good idea to bring it!
Since we wear life jackets when entering the water, we couldn't dive, so the image was more of watching the dolphins swim right in front of us rather than swimming with them as the catchphrase suggests. Still, it was my first time seeing so many dolphins underwater, so it was a wonderful experience.
If you have an underwater camera, I highly recommend taking videos instead of photos!!!
朝は日が昇る前に出発しワイキキ内は曇って雨もちらついていたので心配しましたが、西オアフに行くまでにはすっかり晴れて晴天になっていました。
道中にはマラサダで有名なレナーズに立ち寄り、ひとつだけマラサダをくれるんだけど、ひとつじゃ物足りない!!!さらにコーヒーがあればなぁ~と欲張りな気持ちになってしまいました。もっと食べたいけど店内には行列があるし、そんなに長い時間立ち寄れなかったのが残念です。
ボートの上では陽気なスタッフの皆さんが待ち構えていて、授業を盛り上げてくれます。
いよいよイルカ先生とのご対面という時には、みんな大興奮！当日はラッキーだったようで50頭以上のイルカ先生の群れと出会うことができました。
海の中で見られたのは群れのほんの一部で、思っていたよりも短い時間でしたが、エントリー直後からイルカ先生の鳴き声が聞こえたのがとても印象的で、感動しました。
ただ、常夏のハワイといっても、冬は冬。水温はしっかり冷たいのでウェットスーツをレンタルすることをお勧めします。有料なので、自前で持っている人は持ってくといいかもしれません！
ライフガードを着けて海に入るので、海中に潜ることができないのでキャッチコピー通りのイルカ先生と一緒に泳ぐというイメージより、目の前で泳ぐイルカ先生を見ているイメージの方が強かったですが、あんなにたくさんのイルカを海中で見たのは初めてだったのでとてもよい経験となりました。
海中カメラをお持ちの方は、写真ではなくムービーで撮ることを声を大きくしてお勧めします!!!

The staff were very good. The boat was clean, and the snacks were delicious, so I was satisfied. However, it was a bit cold for snorkeling, so I would like to participate again during a warmer season! The scenery was truly wonderful when the sun was shining!!!

ただシュノーケルするのには少し寒い時期だったので、

This was an excellent half-day experience. We went out on a large, spacious catamaran with a crew of 4, and in the course of 2 guided snorkling drops we had multiple sightings of dolphin, saw a giant turtle moving along the sea floor and another (or possibly the same one) pausing to breathe at the surface, and encountered countless colorful (and near-fearless) fish. We saw coral, too, with coral arches (our guide dived down and swam under one) and a "coral garden" area.
After the second dive we were given hot BBQ sandwiches and mixed fruit, with a choice of chicken or pork sandwhiches. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a spot in the sun (when it shone), and cabin shelter when we felt chilly.
The crew were friendly, safety-conscious, and proactive in large and small ways. Everyone was encouraged to wear a lifejacket for the first snorkel drop, and there were 2 crew members in the water with us, one as a guide and one to stay with the first-timers (he brought a surfboar
Despite it being the rainy season, it didn't rain on the day we participated. However, the temperature wasn't very high, so it was a bit chilly. I can't really recommend this time of year, especially since it often rains. That said, going out on a yacht was completely different from enjoying the sea at the beach, and it felt great. I also tried snorkeling for the first time in my life, and the staff were very kind, which made me feel safe participating. I was able to see many beautiful fish near the coral.
雨季にも関わらず、私たちが参加した日は雨は降りませんでした＾＾
でも、気温はあまり高くなかったので、肌寒かったです＾＾；
特に雨のよく降る今の時期はあまりお勧めできません。
とはいえ、ヨットで沖に出るのは、ビーチで海を楽しむのとは全然違って、気持ちよかったです☆
そして、人生初のシュノーケリングに挑戦しましたが、スタッフの方もとっても親切で、安心して参加できました♪
サンゴの近くのきれいなお魚もたくさん見ることができました＾＾

Recently, I participated with my family. The sandbar had seawater up to about my knees, and it looked very different from the photos. I think it would be better to check the tide schedules to avoid disappointment. Since December is the rainy season, it rained on the day of our visit, and the wind was strong; when we got out of the water, my daughter's lips were purple and trembling. Since there are no changing facilities, I recommend bringing warm clothes. Unfortunately, we only had a little time for snorkeling, and I wished we could have taken it a bit slower. We did see the sea turtles properly! The staff were all kind and friendly. Next time, I want to check the timing and participate again.
先日、家族と参加させていただきました。サンドバーは膝下位まで海水があり、写真の感じとは全然ちがいます。潮の満ち引きをよく調べて行った方ががっかり感はなくてすむと思います。12月は雨期ということもあり当日は雨が降ったり、風も強く海から上がった時は娘の唇は紫色で震えていました。着替えをできないので暖かい服を持って行かれた方がいいと思います。シュノーケルの時間がほんの少ししかなくて残念でした。もうちょっとゆっくりしたかったです。うみがめはちゃんと見られましたよ！スタッフの方々はみなさん親切でいい感じでした。今度は時期を調べて、もう一度参加したいです。

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in this tour. As a result, we had the amazing experience of swimming with many dolphins, fish, and sea turtles. We were picked up at the hotel at 6:10 AM. Although it was a bit early, it allowed us to schedule activities in the afternoon, making the most of our day.
The tour guide, who introduced himself as the student council president, was very friendly and fun, building excitement for the tour that was about to begin. For breakfast, we had malasadas at Leonard's. The freshly made, warm malasadas were chewy and incredibly delicious. It seems that it's a famous shop with long lines, but since it's located a bit away from Waikiki, I was happy it was included in the tour.
Upon arriving at the harbor, we met the captain and other crew members. After receiving various explanations, we offered a prayer song to the sea. It was cold that day, so I rented a wetsuit for $10. We went to the point where the dolphins were, and finally entered the water. We were lucky to encounter over 50 dolphins, which was the most seen in the past month. The excitement of seeing wild dolphins is something I can't express in my poor writing, so I definitely encourage everyone to experience it for themselves.
After that, we snorkeled, feeding fish bread and swimming with sea turtles. Although the waves were high that day and we didn't participate, it seems that paddle surfing and sea kayaking are also enjoyable options. After finishing our water activities, we had lunch on the boat. The captain made delicious cheeseburgers. After lunch, there was a Hawaiian live performance with the crew's ukulele, which was very moving.
We finished with everyone dancing the hula! It was just the best. The crew members were also very friendly and wonderful people. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
新婚旅行でハワイに来ましたので参加させていただきました。
結果、たくさんのイルカや魚そしてウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て最高な経験ができました。
朝6時10分にホテルにてピックアップ。
朝が少し早いですけど午後に予定も入れられるので1日を有意義に使えます。
生徒会長と名乗る添乗員さんがとても気さくで楽しい方で、これから始まるツアーのワクワク感をあおられます。
朝ごはんにレナーズでマラサダをいただきます。出来たての温かいマラサダはモチモチでとても美味しかったです。有名店で行列も出来るらしいのですが、ワイキキから少し離れたところにあり、なかなか行く機会がないのでツアーに組み込まれているとうれしいです。
港に到着し船長さんや他のクルーの方々と合流します。
いろいろと説明を受け、海に祈りの歌をささげます。
この日は寒かったので10ドルでウエットスーツをレンタルしました。
イルカが居るポイントまで行き、いよいよ海に入ります。
ここ1ヶ月で一番たくさん居たとのことで50頭以上のイルカに遭うことができました。これは本当にラッキーでした。
野生のイルカを見れた感動は私のつたない文章では伝えることは出来ないので是非、実際体験していただきたいです。
その後はシュノーケリングで魚にパンをあげたり、ウミガメと一緒に泳いだりしました。
この日は波が高く私達は行いませんでしたが、パドルサーフィンやシーカヤックも楽しめるそうです。
これで海でのアクティビティは終了で、後は船上でランチをいただきます。ランチは船長さん手作りのチーズバーガーでとても美味しかったです。ランチの後はクルーの方のウクレレでのハワイアンライブもあり、とても感動的でした。
最後はみんなでフラダンスを踊りフィニッシュ！
もう最高です。
クルーの皆さんもとても気さくで楽しく素晴らしい方々でした。
次にハワイに来たときも是非参加したいと思います。

It was windy, but I brought a windbreaker, so I was able to enjoy sailing without feeling cold.
The staff inside were very pleasant, bringing drinks and checking in on us, which made for a great experience.
Along the way, we were able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close, and the hour went by in no time.
風が強かったのですが、ウインドブレイカーを持参したので寒くなることもなくセイリングを楽しめました。

途中、イルカや海亀も間近に見ることができ、あっという間の一時間でした。

Dolphin University and Junior High School were recommended for those who want to focus on dolphins, but since I have a weak stomach, I was worried about the restroom situation. I decided on the university because the boat has a restroom. In the end, I didn't use it, but just knowing it was there made me feel more comfortable.
At 6:10 AM, we gathered in the dim light and drizzle. It was too early, and I wasn't feeling great, so I started with some anxiety. Along the way, we stopped at Leonard's to try the popular malasadas. I was unsure if I could eat, but the student council president, our guide, quickly noticed and brought me a takeout bag from the shop.
Upon arriving at the harbor, the rain had stopped, and we were treated to clear skies and a rainbow. Dolphins are said to be attracted to fun people. We learned tips on how to play with the dolphins, and then it was time to head into the sea! Although I can't swim well, those who struggle with swimming went first into the water. The muscular crew members entered the sea ahead of us, which was reassuring. As long as I held onto the crew's float, I had no worries about swimming. Plus, being close to the crew meant I could quickly get updates on the dolphins' location, which was a lucky bonus.
Now, about the dolphins—I was amazed. I never expected to swim so close to them. There were so many! According to our guide, this was the largest group that had come in the past few months. Lucky me! It truly felt like a dream experience. As we returned to the boat and moved to the next snorkeling spot, dolphins swam alongside us, showing off their spins. Dolphins are really adorable.
During snorkeling, I swam with turtles. The waves were high that day, so it was suggested to skip paddleboarding and kayaking, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling for a long time. When I returned to the boat, there were unlimited warm tea and snacks available. I actually got seasick while snorkeling. Just as I was thinking, "Oh no, this might be bad," the student council president noticed and chatted with me so much that I forgot I was feeling sick.
On the way back on the boat, we enjoyed a ukulele live performance and hula dancing from the crew. Listening to the ukulele while taking in the magnificent scenery was wonderful. The singing was so good that I was captivated. As for the hula dancing, before going, I thought, "I'm not into dancing..."
イルカ大学と中学、イルカをメインにしたい方は中学がオススメってくちこみだったのですが、腸が弱い私はトイレが心配。
大学の船にはトイレが付いているってんで、大学に決めました。
結局トイレは利用しなかったのですが、あると無いじゃ気持ちが違うんで。
早朝６：１０、まだ薄暗く霧雨の中の集合。
朝早すぎて体調もいまいち。不安な中のスタートでした。
途中レナーズで人気のマラサダを食べます。
私は食べれる気がせずに、どうしよう…と思っていたら
ガイドの生徒会長さんがすぐに気づいてくれて、お店の方にお持ち帰りの袋をもらってきてくれました。
港へ到着。
降っていた雨もいつのまにか止んで、晴天＆虹のおまけつきです。
イルカは楽しい人に寄ってくるそうです。
そんなイルカと楽しく遊ぶコツなどを教えてもらい、いざ海へ！
私はかなづちなのですが、かなづちの人は先頭で海へ。
マッチョなクルーの方が先に海へ入って待っていてくれるので安心です。
クルーの方の浮き輪につかまっていれば泳ぎに不安があっても問題ありません。
しかもクルーの側にいた方がイルカの位置をすぐに教えてもらえてラッキーです。
で、肝心のイルカですが
びっくりしました。
こんなに近くで一緒に泳げるとは思っていませんでした。
しかも凄いたくさん！
ガイドさん曰く、この数ヶ月で一番たくさんの群れが来てくれたそうです。
ラッキー！
本当に夢のような体験です。
船にあがり、次のシュノーケルスポットへ移動するときにも
イルカが船と並走し、スピンを見せてくれたり、
イルカって本当に可愛いですね。
シュノーケルでは亀と一緒に泳ぎました。
この日は波が高く、パドルボードとカヤックはやめたほうがいいかも…ということで長い時間シュノーケルが楽しめました。
疲れて船に戻ると、暖かいお茶とスナック菓子が食べ放題？でした。
実はシュノーケルで酔ってしまった私。
あ、やばいかも？と思っていたところ、これまた生徒会長さんが気づいてくれて、
たくさん話かけてくれたので、いつの間にか酔っていることを忘れてました。

It was disappointing that it was cloudy and cold, but it was a place I definitely wanted to visit in Hawaii, so I was very happy. When we arrived at the port, they handed out malasadas, which was unexpected and made me happy. The water level was about calf-deep, and it was a beautiful sea. Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to order a DVD, but I didn't because of the cloudy weather, which was a shame. If I can go again, I definitely want to go on a sunny day! The sea turtles were around the boat the whole time and were so cute! Also, they were selling underwater cameras for $20 on the boat, but I could have bought one for a bit cheaper if I had purchased it in advance, so that was a mistake. The Japanese staff lady was funny and cute!
曇り空で寒かったのが残念でしたが、ハワイに行ったら絶対に行きたい場所だったのでとてもよかったです。
港に着いたときにマサラダが配られて、思いがけなかったので嬉しかったです。
水位はふくらはぎ下くらいで、きれいな海でした。
ハネムーンだったのでＤＶＤも頼みたかったけど、曇り空が残念だったので頼みませんでした。
次回行けたら、ぜひ晴れた日に行きたいです！
ウミガメがずっと船の周りにいてくれてとれもかわいかった！
あと、船の上で水中カメラを20ドルで売ってくれましたが、前もって買っておけばもう少し安く買えたので、失敗でした。

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour! I had no idea such a wonderful place existed! Since I tend to get seasick, I was a bit anxious, but I took some motion sickness medication beforehand and it was totally fine! I was worried about whether the turtles would show up for turtle watching, but I ended up seeing four turtles! The guide was also Japanese, and he was very clear and entertaining☆ The snacks were more than just light bites; they were substantial! Unlimited refills made it the best☆ And the sandbar! It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but scream (laughs). Eating and taking photos in such a lovely place was amazing and became a treasure for me! I was moved to see a wild turtle swimming around the boat at the sandbar! It seemed friendly and didn't leave the area around the boat! It was so cute! I also had a DVD made for $45, which was a slideshow with background music that felt like something you’d see at a wedding, and I’m very satisfied with it!
However, I think it gets cold in winter with the water being chilly and the wind being strong, so a jacket is definitely necessary! But when the sun is out, it feels warm☆ This is a tour I want to go on every time I visit Hawaii! I want to participate again next year!
HAWAIIは５回目ですが初めて参加しました！
こんな素敵な場所があったなんて知りませんでした！
船酔いするタイプなので、少し不安でしたが、いちよ酔い止めを飲んでおいたら全然大丈夫でした！
タートルウォッチングも亀さん達が出てきてくれるか心配でしたがなんと４匹もの亀さんとご対面できました！
ガイドさんも日本人の方で、わかりやすくとても面白かったです☆
軽食も軽食どころか、ガッツリ！
おかわり自由で最高でした☆
そしてなんといってもサンドバー！
あまりにも美しくて悲鳴をあげてしまいました（笑）
あんな素敵な場所でのご飯や、写真撮影は最高で、宝物になりました！
サンドバーに浮かぶ船の周りを泳いでる一匹の野生の亀さんがいて感動しました！
人懐っこいらしく船の周りからはなれませんでした！とってもカワイイかったです！
45$でDVDも作っていただきました！結婚式で流れそうなBGM有りのスライドショーのDVDでとても満足しています！

Six months ago, I participated in this tour with my daughter and was deeply moved, so this time I joined with friends. Last time, I wrote about the port's restroom and my concerns about snorkeling, but this time, six months later, everything has been perfectly improved, and I was moved by that as well.
If I could make one more request, I think it would be safer and more reassuring to be able to borrow water shoes during snorkeling.
This time, the tide was low, and I was able to walk in water up to my shins. The scenery of Jurassic Park is breathtaking no matter how many times I see it.
半年前に娘とこのツアーに参加して感動をして、今度は友達と参加しました。
前回、港のトイレのことや、シュノーケリングの不安を書き込みしましたが、半年後の今回は、どれも完璧に改善されていて、それにも感動しました。
もう一つお願いできれば、シュノーケリングのときにウォーターシューズも貸し出してもらえるとより安全に安心してシュノーケリングが出来ると思います。
今回は潮もよく引いていて、すねのところまでの水かさでウォーキングできました。
ジェラシックパークの風景も何度見ても感動です。

My wife made the reservation, and we participated.
We departed the hotel on the "Always Positive" bus and had malasadas for breakfast. After about an hour of driving, we reached the ocean.
During the bus ride, "Tori-chan" provided detailed explanations on how to use the snorkeling equipment. It was early in the morning, so we were a bit sleepy, but it's best to pay attention to the instructions on the way.
As soon as we arrived at the ocean, we boarded the boat. There were a lot of participants that day, and it was just enough space for everyone to sit. The area for storing luggage wasn't very spacious, so it's better not to bring unnecessary items.
Wet suits can be rented for $10. It was a bit cloudy that day, but the sun occasionally shone through. I didn't rent a wet suit, and it was fine.
For those who are not good swimmers, the staff had a float with a rope that they used to swim with, and they could hold on to it for support, so even those who are anxious can feel safe!
That day, we encountered a lot of dolphins! I desperately took photos. I brought a disposable underwater camera. The staff also took pictures from various angles, which you can purchase later.
After swimming with many dolphins, we moved to another location.
There, we went snorkeling and paddle surfing while watching turtles and fish.
Tired participants can take a break on the boat while enjoying snacks.
It's a very rich tour, but since it's only half a day, you can schedule other activities in the afternoon. On the way back, everyone was fast asleep, recharging for the afternoon.
I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first experience seeing wild dolphins and turtles up close, which was a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend it!
妻が予約し、参加しました。
『いつも前向き号』でホテルを出発し、朝ごはんのマラサダ。
そこから１時間ほど走って海へ。
バスの中では『トリちゃん』がシュノーケリングに必要なアイテムの使い方等詳しく説明してくれます。
朝早いので眠いところですが、行きのバスはしっかり説明聞いたほうがいいですよ。
海につくとすぐに船に乗船。
この日は参加人数が多く、ギリギリみんな座れる感じでした。
荷物を置くところはあまり広くないので、余計な荷物は持っていかないほうがいいかと思います。
ウエットスーツは１０ドルでレンタルできます。
この日は少し曇っていましたが、時々太陽も照りつけ、ウエットスーツを借りませんでしたが大丈夫でした。
泳ぎが苦手な人は、スタッフの方が紐のついた浮き輪（？）を持って泳いで、それに捕まって引っ張ってもらっていましたので、不安な方も大丈夫ですよ！
この日はとてもたくさんのイルカに遭遇！
必死で写真をとりました。
私は使い捨ての水中カメラを持参していきました。
スタッフの方もいろんな角度から写真を撮ってくれて、後からそれを購入することもできます。
たくさんのイルカと泳いだあとは別の場所に移動。
そこでカメや魚を見ながらシュノーケリングとパドルサーフィン。
疲れた人は船の上でおやつを食べながら休憩できます。
とても濃い内容のツアーですが、半日だけなので午後は他の予定を入れられます。
帰りのバスはみんな爆睡して午後の体力を蓄えていましたよ。
ハワイには何度かきていますが、野生のイルカやカメを間近で見れたのは初めてで、とてもいい経験になりました。
とてもおすすめです！

This tour, which is popular for the high probability of encountering dolphins, has some reviews mentioning, "I didn't see any."
I was wondering if the weather would be good on the day I participate and if I would get to meet the dolphins...
It seems that if you don't meet the dolphins, you can try again on another day, but since my trip was only four nights and six days long, I had other plans filling up the other days. I was in a situation where I had to rely on this day!!!
On the day of the tour, the pickup was at 6:20 AM while it was still dark outside. Since my hotel was the last pickup, those staying at other hotels must have had even earlier pickups!
But since we would be diving into the ocean, I didn't need to do my makeup, and it was fine if my hair was messy, so even those who aren't morning people can manage (laughs).
After eating Leonard's malasadas, we headed straight to the ocean. While listening to various information on the boat, we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were!
Nervously entering the water and looking down, I was shocked by how deep it was!!!
I panicked but held onto my husband until I got used to it. A few minutes later, the dolphins appeared!! There were even baby dolphins!
Before I knew it, I encountered an astonishingly large group of dolphins!!!
They swam very close to me, and at one point, I felt like I was mixed in with the pod! I really thought I might bump into one!
I could also hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins underwater.
On that day, there were said to be over 100 dolphins. After that, we also saw turtles and some really beautiful tropical fish.
It was truly an amazing tour! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour.
イルカ先生とかなりの確率で遭遇できると人気のこのツアー。
しかし体験談を見ていると『見れませんでした』とゆう書き込みもチラホラ・・・
自分が参加する日は天気がいいのか、そしてイルカ先生に会えるのか・・・
もしイルカ先生に会えなかったら別の日にリベンジできることになっているようですが、なにせ４泊６日の短い旅行で、別の日はすべて他の予定で埋まっており。
この日にかけるしかない！！！とゆう状態でした。
当日は朝まだ外が暗い６：２０のピックアップ。
それでも私の滞在していたホテルは一番最後のピックアップだったので、他のホテルに滞在していた方たちはもっともっと早い時間のピックアップだったんでしょうねーー！
でもどうせ海に潜るのでメイクもしなくてオッケーだし、髪も寝癖あってもオッケーなので、朝が苦手な人でもなんとかなっちゃいますよ（笑）
レナーズのマラサダを食べ早速海へ。
船の上でイロイロと話を聞いたりしているうちにイルカ先生のいるスポットに到着♪
恐る恐る海に入って下を見ると・・・
深！！！！！
焦りましたがなれるまで主人につかまってました。
数分後、すぐにイルカ先生登場！！
子供のイルカちゃんもいましたよ！
そうこうしているうちに驚くほどのイルカ先生の大群に遭遇！！！
すぐ近くを泳いでくれて、一瞬自分がイルカの群れの中に混ざっちゃってる時までありました！！
ほんと、ぶつかるかと思ったー！
水の中ではかわいらしいイルカ先生の鳴き声も聞こえました。
この日は１００匹以上のイルカ先生がいたそうです。
その後はカメさんにも会えたし、とってもきれいな熱帯魚も見れました。
ほんとに感動したツアーでしたー！！
またハワイに行く機会があったら是非参加したいツアーです。
