We visited in November again, just like last year, but this year we faced terrible weather with strong waves and cold temperatures, which made it quite challenging. However, my two elementary school-aged sons remembered last year's experience and chatted a lot with the crew! This year, it seems that the honu (sea turtles) came very close to us often! I didn't snorkel with my face in the water, but while playing and taking photos in the shallow area, they came right up close to me!
At SAP, the rain and wind were strong, and my son said, "This year is tough!" (laughs) Still, we had a valuable experience, enjoyed warm drinks and chatted on the boat, and even ate spam musubi, which was fun! Our family promised the ladies that we would come back next year!

"It truly felt like the real Hawaii!" It was the best night ever. The transportation from Waikiki was easy and convenient. Upon arriving at the Hawaii Country Club, we were welcomed by relaxing Hawaiian music, which instantly lifted our spirits. The food was full of local flavors, and everything was delicious, leaving us very satisfied. The hula dance show was incredibly graceful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by it.

It's all in English (laughs). My daughter, who can hear but doesn't understand English, was confused. But we managed somehow! At one point, my 4-year-old daughter was surprised and cried when she got splashed with water, but I enjoyed it until the end! They took many precious photos of my timid daughter trying her best to pet the dolphins. When you give a signal, the dolphins perform various tricks based on that signal. It was so much fun!

Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!

We were blessed with good weather and departed from the hotel around 10:40 AM on a shuttle bus. Before setting sail, we encountered seals, which already filled us with excitement as the dolphin experience began. While cruising around West Oahu, we were able to enjoy the beauty of the vast ocean, the mountains that remain untouched by nature, and the stunning horizon.
We had an encounter with sea turtles on the second deck!! They will surely bring us happiness. During the underwater viewing experience, we were able to see the beauty of the ocean that we want to preserve for future generations and the state of the Earth's environment.

While I was still contemplating, the one-day tour with lunch was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour individually. This tour doesn't offer much in terms of introducing filming locations, but the view from the top of the mountain is stunning. However, it shakes a lot and the seats can be slippery, so be careful where you sit. I think you'll get better photos from the front, back, or left side.

I participated in the afternoon session, so it was helpful to have breakfast at the hotel in the morning. There was a Japanese instructor on the boat, which made me feel at ease! The ceremony where we sang a prayer song in Hawaiian and threw plumeria flowers into the sea together was very nice.
At the morning session, which started a bit earlier, we easily encountered a pod of dolphins at a spot where they were seen! They were so cute! The English-speaking instructor was friendly and easy to talk to, which was great.
During the snorkeling afterward, I also got to see a honu (sea turtle)! I was lucky since there are times when you might not see them! I felt a bit cold, so I went back to the boat first to change. The instructor noticed and gave me warm cocoa, which helped me not get too cold! The sandwich we were given was also delicious.
I've been to Dolphin Junior High before, but Dolphin University was fun too! Thank you very much!
午後の部に参加したので、朝はホテルでご飯を食べられて助かりました。
船には日本人インストラクターさんがいるので安心です!ハワイ語で祈りの歌を歌ってプルメリアをみんなで海に投げる儀式がとてもよかったです。
もう少し早い時間の午前の部でイルカが見れたポイントで、難なくイルカの群れに会えました!可愛かったです♪英語を話すインストラクターさんも気軽に話しかけてくれて感じがよかったです。

At the snorkeling spot provided, there are always turtles, and you can capture photos of them. The coral itself isn't very beautiful, but encountering turtles is a rare experience in Japan, making it worthwhile. You can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but this time the water depth wasn't suitable for a sandbar, so it might be necessary to choose the right season.

Even if you get tired from swimming, you can take a break on the boat, and you have quite a bit of freedom to enjoy your time on-site. There were light snacks provided, which gave it a picnic-like excitement. Since the food was available at any time, we ate when we came back to the boat for a break.

The sandbar was very beautiful, and I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle. Those who had booked the same time as us were split into two boats, and we enjoyed snorkeling and free time at different times.
After receiving an explanation about snorkeling, my mother asked, "Is it okay for me to go since I can swim?" and was told firmly, "We can't know if you can swim or not. You have to decide for yourself." This made her anxious, and she decided not to go. Since this trip was meant to be a way to show appreciation to my mother, seeing her sad face after being spoken to so coldly made me really sad.
Everyone else went snorkeling, so while we were waiting, a staff member from another boat came over and said that if she could swim, she could join the snorkeling group. They also offered paddleboards and floaties, but all of that was from the other boat. There was no encouragement from the staff on my boat for those who weren't going snorkeling at that time.
I understand that they need to be strict to prevent accidents and that they can't take responsibility, but I wish I could have experienced it with the staff from the other boat who communicated in a kinder way. It was disappointing.
サンドバーはとても綺麗で運よくカメに出会うことができました。
同じ時間に船を予約してい方が二つの船に別れており、
時間を変えてシュノーケリングとフリー時間を楽しむ形でした。
シュノーケリングの説明を受けた後に、「泳げるから行っても大丈夫かな?」と母が質問したところ「あなたが泳げるかどうかは私たちにはわからないから。自分で決めて。」と強く言われ、不安になってやめました。親孝行で行った旅行だったので冷たく言われ悲しそうな顔をする母を見てすごく悲しくなりました。
私たち以外はみんな行っていたので時間を潰していると別の船のスタッフの方が話しかけてくれて、泳げるなら泳げる人の捕まっていけばシュノーケリングも大丈夫だよ。と案内してくれました。暇そうにしているとサップや浮き輪も案内してくれましたが、全部別の船の方。私が乗った船の方からはシュノーケリングに行っていない人へその時これしてていいよ〜など声掛けはありませんでした。
もちろん事故に遭わないために強くいうことや責任をが取れないことも承知していますが、これなら優しく伝えてくれる別の船の方で体験したかったなと思い残念でした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused by our staff during your valuable time in Hawaii. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we will use it to improve our staff training and service. Thank you very much.

I had been wanting to visit Kualoa Ranch. I considered renting a car for transportation, but it was the right decision to book a tour.
During the ride to and from the ranch, I was able to rest, which helped me recover my energy for the rest of the day's plans.
Since I participated without understanding English, I relied on a translation app, but unfortunately, the signal was poor, and I couldn't fully grasp the content as I had hoped.
The magnificent scenery was amazing, and it was fun to take photos.
行ってみたいと思っていたクアロアランチ。
移動手段にはレンタカーも考えていましたが
ツアーを頼んで正解でした。
行き帰りの車内では休息が取れ、その後の予定への体力回復が出来ました。
英語がわからない状態での参加なので、翻訳アプリを駆使しましたが、想像通り電波が悪く、内容がイマイチ理解出来なかったのが残念でした。
壮大な景観が素晴らしく、写真を撮るのは楽しかったです。
I thought that whether or not you know the movie significantly changes the level of enjoyment.
映画を知ってるかどうかで、楽しみの度合いがかなり大きく変わると思いました。

They were so friendly and very engaging you didn’t feel rushed or pressured! It was so relaxing and the guides did a great job pointing out cool animals on the reef we probably would have missed! Definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time. It's always great to know our guests have enjoyed the experience. We truly appreciate your kind feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you on our tour again in the future!

While buggies and horseback riding are famous, I consulted with my companions and chose the option that was easier to navigate. The explanation was only in English, but the beautiful scenery was amazing!
バギーや乗馬が有名ですが、同行者と相談し楽に回れる方を選びました。
説明は英語だけでしたが、素敵な景色が見られて最高でした!
Communication at the reception was fine in English. However, the explanations during the tour were difficult, so having a translation device might be helpful.
英語のみですが受付などは問題なかったです。ただ、ツアー中の説明は難しかったので翻訳機があるといいかもです。

During our trip, we accidentally found and participated in the "Dolphin University" tour, and the result was extremely satisfying. My wife was very happy, and I was also moved by the experience of seeing wild dolphins and sea turtles up close.
For those considering participation, here is a summary of the tour experience and advice.
【Tour Participation Information】
• Timing: It is recommended to participate after the third day of your trip, when your body has acclimated to the local environment. (I participated on the second day after arrival and felt a bit of jet lag.)
• Participation Time: I joined the tour that started at 11:30.
• Transportation: We used a bus shuttle from Ko Olina (about 20-30 minutes one way).
• Return Time: We returned to Ko Olina around 15:30.
【Tour Content and Impressions】
1. Cruising and Encountering Wildlife: After departing, we had a short cruise and were able to encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles.
2. Snorkeling: It was time for snorkeling. Although we wore life jackets, moving away from the boat involved quite a bit of exercise, making it feel quite strenuous even for someone like me who swims regularly at the gym. Those who are not confident swimmers should consider participating carefully.
3. Onboard Activities and Lunch: After snorkeling, we enjoyed activities like a slide and took a light shower before having lunch.
4. Return to Port and Shuttle: After the meal, we returned to the port and were shuttled back to the hotel, concluding the tour.
【Advice on Motion Sickness】
• Motion Sickness Medication: I was worried about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medication I brought from Japan, so I was able to enjoy the day without any issues.
• Caution: For those coming from Waikiki, the bus ride will be longer. Considering the bus travel before boarding the boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before getting on the bus.
It was a tour that created wonderful memories. I recommend being in good health to fully enjoy it.
妻との旅行中に偶然見つけて参加した「イルカ大学」のツアーでしたが、結果は非常に満足できるものでした。妻も大変喜び、私自身も野生のイルカやウミガメを間近で見ることができて、感動的な体験となりました。
これから参加を検討されている方へ、ツアーの体験情報とアドバイスをまとめます。
【ツアー参加情報】
• 参加のタイミング:旅行の3日目以降の、体調が現地に慣れた頃の参加がおすすめです。(私は到着2日目の参加で、若干の時差ボケを感じました)
• 参加時間:11:30開始の便に参加しました。
• 送迎:コオリナからのバス送迎を利用しました(片道約20〜30分)。
• 帰着時間:コオリナに帰着したのは15:30頃でした。
【ツアー内容と体験の所感】
1. クルージングと野生動物との遭遇:出港後、短時間のクルージングを経て、野生のイルカやウミガメに遭遇することができました。
2. シュノーケリング:シュノーケリングの時間となります。ライフジャケットは着用しますが、船から離れて移動するため、普段ジムで泳いでいる私でもかなり運動量が多く、ハードに感じました。泳ぎが苦手な方は、参加を慎重にご検討ください。
3. 船上でのアクティビティと昼食:シュノーケリングの後、スライダーなどのアクティビティを楽しみ、軽くシャワーを浴びてから昼食をいただきました。
4. 帰港・送迎:食事後、寄港地に戻り、バスでホテルまで送迎いただきツアー終了となりました。
【船酔いに関するアドバイス】
• 酔い止め:船酔いが心配でしたが、日本から持参した酔い止めを飲んだため、終日問題なく過ごせました。
• 注意点:ワイキキ方面から参加される方はバスの乗車時間が長くなります。船に乗る前のバス移動も考慮し、バスに乗車する前に酔い止めを服用することをおすすめします。
最高の思い出になるツアーでした。体調を万全にして臨むことをおすすめします。

I looked at various reviews and checked the tide before going. I had a lot of fun paddleboarding and snorkeling. Izumi-san (a Japanese person) explained everything, so it's totally fine even if you don't understand English. About 70% of the participants were Japanese. Since it's a place you can only reach by boat, the price might be reasonable, but since the playtime is only about two hours, it would be nice if it were a bit longer. There was also a simple toilet available.
It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was murky, and there were only black fish that looked like carp. I heard there were sea turtles, but I didn't see any. Some people say it's really beautiful, but I think it's better not to have high expectations.
I only took cash for tips as valuables, but I forgot the bus tip (1 dollar), so it's better to bring both the crew tip and the bus tip.
On the way back, since you return in your swimsuit, it's good to wear something over it.
Having a waterproof case for your smartphone is convenient, but the screen reflects and is hard to see, so the images I took were pretty unclear. At one point, it overheated and I got a warning about high temperatures, so I couldn't use it for a while.
I thought the bus would take me right to the hotel, but the area is large, and the bus stop is hard to find, so it's necessary to check in advance. There’s a waiting area for various tour bus stops, so if you’re not waiting there, they might not find you, so please be careful.
口コミを色々見て、
潮位を調べて行きました。
サップしたりシュノーケリングしたり
とても楽しかった。イズミさん?(日本人)が説明してくれるので、英語わからなくても全然大丈夫です。参加してたのも70%が日本人でした。船でしか行けない場所なので、妥当な金額かもしれないけど、遊ぶのは2時間くらいなので、もう少し長くてもいいかな〜
簡易トイレみたいなのも付いてましたよ。
シュノーケリングは、初めてでしたが、
海の中は、濁っていて、黒いフナ?みたいな魚しかいません笑
海ガメもいたみたいですが
わたしは見れませんでした。
すごくキレイと口コミしてる人もいますが
そこは、期待しない方がいいでしょう。
貴重品は、チップの現金しか持って行きませんでしたが、バスのチップ(1ドル)忘れてたので、クルーのチップ➕バスのチップだけ持った方がいいです。
帰りは、水着のまま帰るので、その上から
着られる服で行くのが、いいです。
