Oahu
The entertainment and activities were excellent!!
The young entertainers were very enthusiastic and had so much energy. We enjoyed this luau very much.
Aloha Scott, thanks for your review! We are so glad you had all the best at the luau, and we look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo from your Toa Luau Ohana! ^_^
The day after arriving in Hawaii, we participated in a tour. It was my 4-year-old daughter, my 6-year-old son, my mother in her 60s, my husband, and me, a group of five. We were picked up at 5:30 AM, but thanks to the time difference, we had no trouble joining.
Our tour consisted only of Japanese participants. I wondered if only Japanese people make reservations for this tour. On the bus ride there, the guide provided fun explanations about the tour and information about Waikiki, and before we knew it, we had arrived. My son and daughter caught up on some much-needed sleep on the bus before boarding the boat.
This was my first time in Hawaii in September, and I didn't expect it to be so hot, but the temperature was just right for swimming. However, if you're feeling uncertain, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit. By the way, my mother and my son and daughter rented one. You must wear a life jacket, which also increases buoyancy, so I recommend it for those who are not confident swimmers.
I was disappointed not to meet the dolphin teacher this time, but I was very satisfied to see many turtles and fish. The chance of not meeting the dolphin teacher is only about 10%, so it seems rare. However, since we didn't get to meet, the tour company offered us a nice perk: half off the photo fee or a free participation in the next dolphin school.
It was a conscientious tour, and I would love to participate again.
Thank you so much to all the tour guides. I thought it was a wonderful tour because they genuinely tried to entertain everyone, including couples, older guests, and small children. Thanks to them, the kids had a fantastic time. My son, who was initially reluctant, got used to the ocean and enjoyed himself. He especially loved paddle boarding with my husband.
ハワイ到着の次の日に参加しました。4才の娘、6才の息子、60代の母、旦那と私の5人で参加しました。早朝、5時半にピックアップでしたが時差ボケのため難なく参加出来ました。
私達は、日本人しかいないツアーでした。こちらは日本人しか予約しないのかな?と思います。行きのバスでは、ガイドの方がツアーの説明やワイキキの情報など楽しくお話しして頂きあっという間に到着しました。息子や娘は足りない睡眠をバスで少し補充して、船に乗りました。
9月のハワイは初めてでこんなに暑いとは思ってなかったのですが、海に入るのにちょうど良い温度でした。でも、もし不安な場合はウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかもしれないです。ちなみに母と息子や娘は借りました。ライフジャケットを必ず着けますが、浮力も増すので泳ぎに自信がない方にお勧めです。
今回は、イルカ先生に会えず残念でしたが亀先輩や魚たちにたくさん会えて大満足です。
イルカ先生に会えない確率はわずか10%で珍しいようです。でも会えなかったのでツアー側から、写真代半額や次回イルカ中学に参加無料など嬉しい特典をつけてくれました。
良心的なツアーでまた参加したいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さん本当にありがとうございました。
カップルでも年輩の方も連れてこられた旦那や小さい子でも本気で楽しませようとしてくれて素晴らしいツアーだなと思いました。
おかげで子供たちはすごく楽しめました。最初は嫌がっていた息子も海に慣れて楽しんでいました。特にパドルボードは旦那と二人でずっと乗って楽しんでいました。
The sea was rough from the morning... and there was a possibility of being sent back right after departure.
The waves were indeed a bit high, but we started looking for dolphins right away and spotted one ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
On the way, we encountered a sea turtle!!
It was actually a couple of sea turtles having their time (laughs).
Then we went for the second round of dolphin searching...
And we found them again!!
Moreover, they were in a group, which was an amazing sight ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
I really felt incredibly lucky, and it was so moving ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to participate!!
Honestly, I thought I was being tricked when I joined, but... it was amazing (laughs).
海は、朝から荒れ模様・・・
そのまま戻される可能性もありながらの出港
実際少し波は高かったけど・・・イルカを探し始めて直ぐにイルカ確認( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
に移動中には、ウミガメに遭遇!!
なんとウミガメのカップルタイムでした(笑)
そして2回戦目のイルカ探し・・・
またすぐ発見!!
しかも群れで、居たのですごい光景でしたよ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
ホンマに嘘みたいに運がよく、めちゃくちゃ感動しました( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
ハワイ行ったら是非参加しなくちゃですよ!!
いやホンマに騙されたと思って参加してみたら・・・
すごいよ(笑)
I was truly moved because I never expected to meet so many dolphins! Of course, I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles. I had a great experience, especially with a cheerful photographer accompanying us, which was worth more than the price. I felt the same excitement as when I touched a whale shark in Okinawa. I will definitely go back to meet the dolphins in Hawaii in a few years!
まさか、あんなに沢山のイルカに会えると思っていなかったので本当に感動しました❗
もちろん海亀にも遇えて大変満足しています。なかなか陽気なカメラマンさんとも同行できて値段以上の体験ができました
沖縄でジンベイザメに触った体験以来の感動を得られました
また何年かしたら必ずハワイのイルカに会いに行きます
Aloha, Ishipi-san

Since the meeting time was set for 6:50 AM, I arrived about 10 minutes early and waited, but when 7:00 AM came, no one showed up. I called and found out that phone support starts at 7:30 AM, which made me feel very anxious as I couldn't get in touch with anyone.
Eventually, around 7:10 AM, a staff member came to pick me up, and when they checked the schedule, it turned out the meeting time was set for 7:00 AM. It seems there had been an unannounced change.
Once on-site, the tour went smoothly, and I was glad to finally enjoy the location visits I had been looking forward to! As for lunch, I went in with low expectations as rumored, and it turned out I was right not to expect much.
待ち合わせ時間が朝6時50分だったため10分前くらいに到着し、待っていましたが7時になっても誰も来ず電話をかけたところ7時半から電話対応開始だそうで連絡もつかず大変不安な思いをしました。
結局7時10分頃に係の人が迎えに来て、予定表を確認したところ待ち合わせ7時となっていました。勝手に変更になっていたようです。
現地では問題なくツアーがおわり、楽しみにしていたロケ地巡りができてよかったです!
昼食は噂通り期待しないで行きましたが、期待しなくて良かった感じでした。
I made a reservation for the last day in Hawaii on Friday. I was really looking forward to it, but… there was no information about when, what, or where things were happening. It seems there was live music, but in the end, I couldn't see or hear anything.
The dinner buffet guests were on the 1st and 2nd floors, while the appetizer guests were on the 3rd floor. After boarding, we were taken to the 1st floor, and seating was free, but there was no guidance on that either, so everyone was just wandering around aimlessly.
For some reason, it seemed that non-Japanese guests had arrived early and had already taken the window seats and were eating. I had also made a reservation for a children's chair since I was attending with a small child, but since there was no assigned table, they didn't bring it until I asked. The child was really looking forward to the hula dance, so it was truly disappointing.
In the end, I couldn't see it, but after watching the fireworks, I caught a glimpse of guests who seemed to be feeling good after drinking and were dancing with the dancers, which felt like the atmosphere of a bar or club. The fireworks and night view were beautiful, but it was really disappointing.
金曜日のHawaii最終日に予約しました
とても楽しみにしていたのですが…
いつ・なにを・どこでしているのかも案内すら無く
生演奏もしていたようですが結局見ることも聞くことも出来ませんでした
ディナービュッフェの客は1F2Fアペタイザーの客は3F
乗船後1Fに通され席も自由席でしたがその案内も無く、ただただみんなウロウロゴソゴソするばかり
何故か?日本人以外の客は早々に来ていたようで窓際の席に陣取りすでに食事をしている状態
小さな子供も連れての参加で事前に子供椅子の予約もしていましたが…
テーブルが決まっているわけでもないので言うまで持ってきてくれず
子供がフラダンス等とても楽しみにしていたのに本当に残念でした
結局は見れなかったのですが…最後花火を見終わりちらっと見た感じでは
飲んで気分が良くなったお客さんがダンサーと共に踊って楽しんでいる…
と言うその辺のバーやクラブのノリでした
花火や夜景は綺麗だったのに本当に残念でした。

I will share my experience from the perspective of an intermediate to advanced level diver who has participated in dolphin swim tours in various locations, holding a dive master certification.
- Good points:
A Japanese guide accompanies the tour. The day is packed with activities such as dolphin swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, hula experiences, a departure ceremony, and group photos, allowing for a lot of fun in just one day.
- Bad points:
The number of participants is too high (around 40 people), which creates a disparity between those who enter the water first and those who enter last, affecting the chances of seeing dolphins. It would likely be more satisfying with a maximum of about 15 people. I couldn't determine how close I could get to the dolphins, and while I was waiting near the pod, I was scolded harshly by the local staff for blocking their path. It seems that the only thing allowed is to float and observe from above, so those wanting to take photos should be cautious.
After coming out of the water, things get quite hectic, and you have to change in the restroom without being able to take a shower. (On diving shop boats in places like Okinawa, it's normal to have showers on board.) The lunch provided is not a bento but rather snacks and a drive-thru from Burger King, which is insufficient. Moreover, since you eat on the bus on the way back, the smell in the vehicle can make it difficult for those prone to motion sickness to eat. There is no dry area on the boat, so bags brought along can get wet. (At the very least, they could have put up a net on the ceiling to address this.) Given that there are many beginners, I think this is quite a significant downside. There were quite a few people who arrived with regular bags that ended up soaking wet.
ダイブマスター保有の、各地のドルフィンスイムツアーを十数回経験している中上級者視点から投稿します。
・良い点
日本語ガイドが同伴
ドルフィンスイム、SUPなどのマリンアクティビティ、フラ体験、出航セレモニー、集合写真など内容てんこ盛りで1日で楽しめる点
・悪い点
一回の人数が多すぎる(40人程度)ので、最初に入水した人と最後に入水した人で、イルカに会える人とそう出ない人が差が出る。(せいぜい15人くらいにした方が満足度が高いはず)
イルカにどこまで近づいていいのかが判断できず、ほかのドルフィンスイムのツアーのつもりで群れの近くまで潜って待機していたら現地スタッフに水上でこっぴどく怒られた。(進路を塞いだと判断された模様)上からぷかぷか眺めるくらいしか許されなそうなので、写真を撮りたい方は要注意。
海から上がった後がかなり慌ただしく、シャワーも浴びられないままトイレで着替えてバスになる必要がある。(沖縄などのダイビングショップの船は船内でシャワー浴びれるのが普通)
ランチがお弁当などではなく、スナックと、バーガーキングのドライブスルーなので少ない。しかも帰りのバスの中で食べるので車内の匂いもあり酔いやすい人は食べていなかった。
船上にドライエリアが用意されていないので、持ってきたバックなどが濡れる。(せめて天井にネットを張って対処するくらいはできるはず)初心者が多いにも関わらず、これはかなりのマイナスポイントと思います。普通のバックできてしまい、バックがびしょびしょになっている方が結構いました。
This was my first time participating, and I had a great time. I would definitely like to do it again if I have the chance. The participation fee might feel a bit high at times, but it was really worth it, and I didn't feel like I wasted any money. If I have the opportunity to go to Honolulu again, I would like to participate.
今回、初めての参加でしたが凄く楽しかったです。また機会があれば是非やりたいです。参加費が少し高く感じれる事もあるかもしれませんが、本当にコストが結構良くて全然お金がもったいなくなりませんでした。またホノルルに行く機会があれば参加したいです。
It was a stroke of luck to see wild dolphins, and not only that, they swam below us. I felt that luck played a big role since it depended on anticipating the direction the dolphins would swim and their speed. I’m glad I participated because they made sure everyone could see them as much as possible.
野生のイルカのため運になりますが、イルカを見れただけでなく下を泳いで行きました。イルカが泳ぐ方向に先回りをし来てくれるのを待つことと、イルカの泳ぐ速度にも依存するため、運も大きいと感じました。できる限りみんなが見れるように考えてくれているので、参加してよかったです。
Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the cloudy weather, but the night view and fireworks visible from the sea were great. The boat sways quite a bit, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be tough for you.
残念ながら曇りだったため綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、海から見える夜景と花火はよかったです。
船は結構揺れて長時間乗っているので酔いやすい方は辛いかもしれません。
アトランティスクルーズをマジェスティックでVELTRAを通じてご予約いただき、ありがとうございます。アロハ。

Having brunch on the ocean is an experience that is quite rare in everyday life, so it became a wonderful memory. My husband also seemed very satisfied. Since I didn't have a rash guard, I purchased an original rash guard before entering the water. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was the right choice since it was a little chilly. Unfortunately, when I washed it, the color of the original rash guard faded significantly and transferred to other items. I hope this can be improved.
海の上でブランチが食べれるというのは日常から考えるとなかなか出来ない体験なので良い思い出になりました。主人もとても満足した様子でした。ラッシュを持ってなかったので海に入る前にオリジナルラッシュを購入しました。若干高いなと思いましたが、少し寒かったので正解でした。残念だったのが洗濯するとオリジナルラッシュの色落ちが激しく、他のものに色移りします。これは改良されると良いなと思いました
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you for purchasing the rash guard. I apologize for the color fading! Our staff also uses it, and we haven't heard of any color fading issues until now... We will work on improving the quality so you can enjoy it for a longer time. Thank you!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
ラッシュガードご購入ありがとうございます。色落ちしたんですね!!すみません。スタッフももちろん愛用しており今まで色落ちの話は聞いたことなかったのですが。。。。
よりクオリティアップして長く愛用して頂けるようにしますね。ありがとうございました。
I was so excited to see dolphins right after departing from the harbor! The dolphins came back several times, which was amazing! I also got to see sea turtles, and I was able to see everything properly! It was a shame that it wasn't a boat burger, though... haha. Next, I want to see winter whales! The staff welcomed us with such great energy, so it was fantastic!
ハーバーから出港して直ぐにイルカに会え、物凄く興奮しました!
イルカも何回も戻ってきてくれたので、最高でした!
ウミガメにも会え、全てちゃんと見れました!
船上バーガーじゃなかったのが残念でしたが・・笑
次は冬クジラが見てみたいです!
スタッフの方々も最高のテンションで迎えて頂けたので、最高でした!
We were lucky to have good weather. The water level was up to my waist, but I was able to walk.
Snorkeling was fun too. (Even though there was a sea turtle right there, for some reason I couldn't see it...) The staff were polite and kind. If there are many people, you might be split into two groups, so there's a chance you could end up in the group that has lunch just before snorkeling. I think those who are sensitive to the boat and waves should be careful. I held back on what I wanted to eat and only had a little, haha.
The photo was taken while the smartphone was still in a zippered bag I bought at a Japanese Daiso. It turned out okay.
運良く天候に恵まれました。
腰まで水位がある状態でしたが、歩くことができました。
シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
(せっかく海ガメがすぐそこにいたのに、なぜか私は見れず…。)
スタッフの方も丁寧で親切でした。
人数が多いと、二手に分かれるため、シュノーケルの直前にご飯になるグループに当たる可能性があります。船や波の揺れに弱い方は要注意だと思います。私は食べたいところをぐっと抑えて少量にしました笑。
写真は日本のダイ◯ーで買ったスマホ用ジッパー付き袋に入れたままで撮ったものです。それなりに撮れました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Your photos turned out beautifully. Next time, please consider trying out GoPro filming as well.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
とっても綺麗にお写真取れてますね。次回はぜひGoPro撮影もチャレンジされてみてくださいね。
Despite my doubts, I thought I wouldn't be able to see dolphins. Honestly, I kept thinking that way until I actually experienced the tour.
On the day of the tour, I managed to wake up my sleepy body at 5 AM and headed to the meeting point, then boarded the bus to our destination. It took about an hour to reach the port where we would board the boat, but before I knew it, we arrived while the guide from Dolphin University was energetically sharing stories about how to enjoy the ocean.
After preparing to board the boat, we set off. The boat, carrying about 40 participants and around 8 staff members (two of whom were Japanese), quickly made its way out to sea. After singing a song dedicated to the ocean during the journey, we put on our goggles and fins, and soon spotted dolphins in the distance. We maneuvered the boat as close as possible, and everyone jumped into the water to start swimming.
Since it was my first time using fins and goggles, I was exhausted after just a little swimming, but I motivated myself by thinking, "There are dolphins nearby!" As I pushed forward, the staff member swimming ahead suddenly stopped. I wondered what was happening when I heard, "Look down!!" I quickly looked through my goggles into the water, and there were 7 or 8 dolphins swimming slowly just a few meters away.
I was so excited that I momentarily struggled to breathe, but I was too captivated to care, my eyes wide open as I watched the dolphins. It was just a few seconds, but that scene is etched in my memory so clearly that I can't imagine forgetting it.
After that, we tried again, but unfortunately, we couldn't have the same experience... While I was feeling down on the boat, the dolphins from earlier approached us and swam alongside the moving boat. There were even smaller dolphins jumping, which was incredibly exciting.
After enjoying our time with the dolphins, we went snorkeling at a spot where sea turtles were said to be, and we hit the jackpot, seeing three sea turtles right in front of us.
Finally, we all shyly danced the Hawaiian dance on the boat, and when we arrived back at the port, it was bittersweet to head home. They dropped me off near my hotel around noon, and I spent the afternoon enjoying Hawaii in that joyful mood.
At first, I was really anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but I had a much more valuable experience than I imagined, and above all, I would love to participate in this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves the ocean, dolphins, and sea turtles.
Definitely experience something you can only do in Hawaii!
なんだかんだ言いつつ、どうせイルカは見れないんだろう。正直、自分は実際にツアーを体験するまで、ずっとそうやって考えていました。
当日、早朝の5時になんとか眠気いっぱいの体を起こして集合場所に向かい、目的地へ向かうバスに乗り込みました。
乗り込む船がある港までは大体1時間ほどですが、ツアーをガイドしてくれるイルカ大学の方が、体験談を交えてどうやって海を楽しむべきかを元気いっぱいに話してくれるうちにいつの間にか着いていました。
港についた後は船に乗り込む準備を終えたら、出港。約40人の参加者と8名ほどのスタッフさん(内二名は日本人の方)を乗せた船はあっという間に港から遠くの沖へ到着します。
移動中に海へ捧げる歌を歌った後、ゴーグルやフィンを装着していると、早速遠くの方にイルカを発見。なるべく近くまで船で行ってから全員が海へ飛び込み、泳いで移動を開始しました。
私はフィンやゴーグルの扱いが初だったため、少し泳いだだけでバテバテでしたが、近くにイルカがいる!と自分を奮い立たせなんとか進んでいると、前を泳いでいたスタッフさんが急停止。何かと思っていたら、「下見て!!」という声が聞こえたので急いで海の中をゴーグルで見ると、そこには7~8匹のイルカがほんの数メートル先をゆっくりと泳いでました。
興奮で息が一瞬少し苦しくなってしまいましたが、そんなことは気にならないくらい目を見開いてイルカを見ていました。
ほんの数秒でしたが、あの光景が脳みそから消えてしまうことなんて考えられないくらい、はっきりと焼き付きました。
その後は再度アタックしましたが残念ながら同じ体験はできず……と船で落ち込んでいたら、先ほどのイルカが移動中の船に近づいてきてくれて一緒に並走。小さめにジャンプするイルカもいて大興奮でした。
イルカとの触れあいを楽しんだ後はウミガメがいるというポイントでシュノーケリングをして、これも大当たりで3匹のウミガメを目の前で見ることができました。
最後は、船の上で恥ずかしがりながらもみんなで楽しくハワイの踊りを踊って、港に着いたら名残惜しくもそのまま帰路へ。12時頃にホテル周辺へ送ってくれたので、午後も私はその楽しい気分のままハワイを満喫しました。
初めは本当に楽しめるのか不安ばかりでしたが、想像以上に貴重な体験ができましたし、何より次回ハワイへ行くとなったらまた参加したいと思えるツアーでした。海が好きで、しかもイルカやウミガメも好きな方ならとてもおススメします。
是非、ハワイでしかできない体験を。

I was worried because it was early in the morning and the weather wasn't great, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory thanks to our energetic guide. However, the departure of the boat was significantly delayed, and we had to make an unexpected stop at a nearby tourist spot, so I wondered if we could have had more time to enjoy the sea if the boarding time had been longer. Overall, I was satisfied.
早朝から、しかも天気も良くなくて心配でしたが、元気なガイドさんのもといい思い出となりました。ただ、船の出船が大幅に遅れて、急遽港近くの観光地に立ち寄るなどがあったので、もっと乗船時間が長ければもっと海で遊べる時間があったのでは?ということもありましたが、全体的には満足です。
In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.
In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.
On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).
It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.
The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.
The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).
4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。
朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。
当日はワイキキは晴~小雨。現地はザーザー降り&灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
1、全員で歩いてサンドバー
2、希望者のみシュノーケリング(シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料)
3、ランチ(シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分)
4、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP(無料)
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。
スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ(スマホ防水カバー)などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。
天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour and for the detailed report. The weather... is just part of outdoor tours... We look forward to your revenge participation, Miko!
アロハ!ツアーご参加&詳細なレポートありがとうございます。

みーこ様のリベンジ参加お待ちしております!!
The number of participants exceeded 40, which caused delays in various activities. With so many people in front, even if dolphins are nearby, only those at the front can see them. Getting on and off the boat also takes time. The staff are cheerful and entertaining, but... I have participated in marine activities in various countries, and this is the first time I've encountered such a large number of participants. I believe that unless the number of participants is reduced to less than half, I won't be satisfied.
参加人数が40名を超えていて、色々な事に時間がかかります。
人が前に沢山居るので、イルカが近くにいても前の方を泳いでいる人にしかイルカが見えないことも。
船の乗り降りにも時間がかかります。
スタッフの皆さんは明るくて楽しませてくれますが、、、
色々な国で海のアクティビティに参加していますが、こんなに参加人数が多いのは初めて。
参加人数を半数以下にしなければ満足出来ないと思います。
You can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. It's truly moving to see them up close. Be sure to bring an underwater camera. If you ask the guide, they can help you get nice shots of the dolphins and sea turtles. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to prevent it. Feeling unwell can really diminish the enjoyment!
イルカやウミガメに出会えます。近距離で見えると感動します。ぜひ水中カメラを用意していきましょう。ガイドさんにお願いすれば、イルカやウミガメをナイスショットしてもらえます。あと船に酔いやすい方は、酔い止めなど飲んで船酔い対策して行く方が良いと思います。気持ち悪くなると楽しみも半減しますので!

I highly recommend you go! I love Jurassic Park, and I was excited to visit, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected! There was support in Japanese, so I had no difficulties. When it started to rain, they even provided ponchos. The production was wonderful, and the staff were cheerful and fantastic. Thank you so much!!!
行ってみてほしいです!
ジュラシックパークが好きで、ワクワクしていきましたが、予想以上楽しめました!

It was honestly quite unsatisfying, as we didn't get to swim with the dolphins but only looked down at them. Additionally, the class representative in charge lost the photo data, so we don't have a single picture! The kids are really shocked...
イルカと泳ぐまでにはいかない内容で、ただ下をみるだけの正直不完全燃焼でした。また写真のデータを担当の学級委員さんがなくして、写真が一枚もありません!子供たちはショックをうけています。。

It was very good. Since the dolphins are not kept in captivity, whether you can see them depends on nature. We were lucky. During our first snorkeling session, we encountered about 20 dolphins with their young. After changing locations, during our second snorkeling session, we encountered three rays and a turtle. We were fortunate.
All the staff were kind and attentive, keeping an eye on the 42 participants who joined us. The captain's driving was excellent as well. There was no impact when docking the boat.
とても、良かったです。イルカは飼育されているのはありませんから、会えるかどうかは、自然次第。私たちはラッキーでした。一度目のシュノーケリングで、子連れのイルカ20頭くらいに遭遇。場所を変えて、二度目のシュノーケリングで、エイ・亀3頭に遭遇。ラッキーでした。
スタッフ全員、親切、丁寧で、同行した42名に目を配ってくれました。
船長の運転も優秀でしたよ。接岸の時、衝撃無しでした。

- I had a great time seeing so many dolphins up close, even more than I expected.
- After swimming with the dolphins, I was able to go snorkeling, but I got too carried away with the dolphins and didn't have the energy left (laughs).
- The staff at Dolphin University were all really nice, and we had a fun time on the boat.
- The light snacks included chips, juice, and cheeseburgers. They tasted familiar, like something from McDonald's in Japan, and were really delicious.
・思っていた以上にたくさんのイルカをまじかで見られて楽しかった。
・イルカスイム後にシュノーケリングもできたが、イルカではしゃぎ過ぎて体力が持たなかった(笑)
・イルカ大学のスタッフの方も皆いい人で船の上でも楽しいひと時を過ごせる。
・軽食はスナック菓子とジュース、チーズバーガー。日本のマク○ナルド?のような味で親しみがありすごくおいしかった。
Aloha, Uncle

It was amazing to see the sea turtles. The BBQ lunch was also delicious.
There are morning and afternoon sessions, but I checked the tides in advance and chose the morning.
ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。BBQランチもおいしかったですよ。
午前と午後がありますが、前もって潮を調べて午前にしました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating with your four-generation family. We look forward to seeing everyone's smiles again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!AIKO様。
4世代家族でのご参加ありがとうございました。また皆様の笑顔にお会いできる日をウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。
The morning was early, but I had a wonderful experience!! The sunrise was from the ocean. The water level was unexpectedly up to my waist, but personally, it didn't bother me at all. I was very satisfied with the service from the captain and crew. It was a great experience. I will use this service again!!
朝は早かったけれど、とても素晴らしい経験が出来ました!!
日の出は、海の中から。
予想外に腰までの水位でしたが、個人的には全く気にならず。
キャプテンやクルーのサービスに大満足。
とてもいい経験が出来ました。
また利用します!!
Aloha! Thank you for joining our summer limited sunrise tour. Encountering this beautiful sunrise and heavenly sea can really power you up! We look forward to seeing you again next summer!
アロハ!夏季限定の日の出ツアー(サンライズツアー)ご参加ありがとうございました。
この美しい日の出と天国の海に遭遇できたら何パワーアップ!できちゃいますね。
また来年の夏も!!お待ちしております。
I used this service on the last night of my trip to Hawaii. I was able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery on a luxurious cruiser, creating the best memories. While most other tours had a majority of Japanese participants, this tour had many international guests. For $30, you can receive the photo data. I would love to use this service again!
ハワイ旅行最後の夜に利用しました。
高級感溢れるクルーザーで美味しい料理と、素敵な景色を見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。
他のツアーは日本人の方が大半ですが、こちらのツアーは海外の方がたくさん来ていました。
30ドルで写真のデータを送ってもらえます。
また利用したいです!
アトランティスクルーズをマジェスティック号でVELTRAを通じてご予約いただき、ありがとうございます。アロハ。
Mahalo for booking an Atlantis Cruise aboard Majestic with VELTRA. Aloha.
Due to the high waves, most participants, including my family, experienced seasickness, and the Aloha buckets were in high demand everywhere. We couldn't even see the dolphins underwater.
The onboard lunch and marine sports were canceled, and we had to endure three hours on a rocking boat, returning on the bus while eating the Burger King hamburgers that were supposed to be served on the boat.
It's important to be cautious, as depending on the weather and wave conditions, there is a significant risk of disappointment and wasting a lot of money. If the weather had been good, it might have been a much more moving experience.
I felt that they continued the tour even with relatively large waves, possibly because they had the boat and crew secured. It's better not to join too easily just because you want to swim with dolphins.
波の高い中での催行で、私の家族も含め参加者のほとんどは船酔い状態でアロハバケツがあちこちで大活躍するハメに。イルカを水中で見ることも叶わず。
船上ランチやマリンスポーツも中止となり、大揺れの船上で3時間耐える羽目になり、帰りのバスで本来船上で提供されるはずだったバーガーキングのハンバーガーを食べながら帰ることに。
天候や波の状態次第では大きく期待外れ&大金を捨てる可能性があるので注意が必要です。天気さえ良ければ大きな感動があったかも。
船やクルーをおさえているからか、ある程度の大きな波でも中止にはせず催行となるのかと感じました。イルカと泳ぎたいからと安易に参加しないほうがベター。
Aloha, Aloha Bucket,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. It seems that the ocean conditions were not favorable. Even in poor conditions, there are times when you can swim slowly with the dolphins, so we trust the captain's judgment and set sail. Our tours are dependent on nature, including the weather, the sea, and wild animals, and each tour is different. Please feel free to use the scholarship program again and come visit us! Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Aloha, アロハバケツ様
この度はイルカ大学にご参加下さり有難うございました。
海のコンディションが悪かったようですね。
コンデションが悪くてもイルカとゆっくり泳げることもあるので
それを信じてキャプテンの判断を元に出航しております。
自然相手の弊社ツアー、お天気や海、野生の生き物で成り立っており、
毎回ツアーは異なります。
ぜひまた奨学金制度を利用して、遊びに来て下さい!
貴重なご意見有難うございます。

I was excited to swim with dolphins in Hawaii for the first time, but at first, the dolphins were jumping around a lot, which raised my expectations. However, when I actually got into the water, the dolphins disappeared, and we moved to the next spot. I managed to see one dolphin, but I was disappointed that I couldn't see the many dolphins I had imagined. The waves were high, and both the boat and the water were rocking, which made me seasick. At first, the sea turtles blended in with the rocks, and I couldn't find them, but I did see about three small ones. The water clarity was a bit murky, and compared to when I went diving in Okinawa, it was somewhat disappointing. However, I appreciated how the crew was bright and worked hard to make the tour enjoyable.
初めてのハワイでイルカと泳げるとわくわくしていましたが、最初はイルカたちがたくさん飛び跳ねていて期待していたのですが、いざ海へ入ってみるとイルカたちがいなくなってしまい、次のポイントへ。なんとか1匹ほどみれましたが、イメージしていたたくさんのイルカをみることができず残念でした。また波が高く船でも海に入ってもゆれて、船酔いしてしまいました。ウミガメも最初、岩と同化していてどこにいるかわからず、小さいかめが3匹ほどみれました。海の透明度もちょっとにごっていて、以前沖縄でダイビングしたときと比べるとちょっと残念でした。ただクルーの方たちが明るく一生懸命ツアーを盛り上げてくれている様子がわかりありがたかったです。
Aloha, Maki,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University tour!
It seems the waves were high and the sea conditions weren't great, but I'm glad you were able to meet the sea turtles and enjoy the waters of Hawaii!
Since nature is our partner, every tour is different. No two tours are ever the same.
If you have the opportunity, please come back and take advantage of the scholarship program.

We’ve been to many Luaus over the years but this one was the best ever. It was personal, informative, and super entertaining. Definitely recommend to others. Each guest felt involved without big crowds and big lines.
Aloha Jess, thanks for your review! We are so glad you had all the best at the luau, and we look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo from your Toa Luau Ohana! ^_^
Saki was amazing! I had so much fun!
I was able to swim with dolphins and sea turtles, the ocean was beautiful, and it was a wonderful experience!
I apologize for getting stung by a jellyfish, but thank you for taking care of it right away and for your concern; it healed quickly thanks to you! I will participate again!!!
Sakiさん最高でした!とても楽しかったです!
イルカともウミガメとも泳ぐことができて、海も綺麗で、素晴らしい体験ができました!
クラゲに刺されてしまってご迷惑をおかけ致しましたすぐに処置してくれて、心配もしてくれてありがとうございましたおかげですぐに治りました!また、参加します!!!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! I'm really glad to hear that the jellyfish sting healed quickly! I will also let Saki know, thank you! MAHALO!!
