My son (7 years old), who can't swim, was thrilled to chase dolphins and see green sea turtles using a life jacket and snorkel. He was able to see dolphins swimming right under his feet, and those rare sights are etched in his memory. He is now saying he wants to participate in Manta University on the Big Island to meet manta rays next time.

Participating in Dolphin University and experiencing the friendliness of the captain and staff made for a great family outing, and we are very satisfied.

泳げない息子（７歳）が、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルを使ってイルカを追いかけたり、アオウミガメを見たりで、大喜びをしていました。また、泳いでいるイルカが足の下を泳ぐのを見れたり、中々、出会えない光景が目に焼き付いています。息子は今度、ハワイ島でマンタ大学にも参加してマンタに会いたい言っています。
　イルカ大学に参加して、フレンドリーな船長とスタッフの明るさに触れて、いい家族サービスが出来て満足です。

From a beach about an hour by bus from Waikiki, we took a boat to the dolphin habitat. Since it was early in the morning, I boarded the boat still feeling sleepy, but the nice weather and sea breeze woke me up completely. The captain sensed the atmosphere where dolphins might be and stopped the boat. In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the dolphin habitat, put on our snorkels and fins, and jumped into the sea.

While swimming in the ocean, I had the fun experience of seeing dolphins from various angles! I wonder how the captain can easily tell where the dolphins are. I'm curious...

I was fortunate enough to have three opportunities to see them! For those who have fewer chances, the instructors guide you and create opportunities to see the dolphins, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine!

Additionally, I was able to see dolphins swimming in groups and alongside the boat, which gave a lively and free impression, quite different from what you see in an aquarium. It's important to maintain an environment where wild dolphins can thrive.

At Dolphin University, after dolphin watching, we had free time to enjoy turtles, tropical fish, stand-up paddleboarding, and slides! The staff kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun experience for families, couples, and friends alike.

Thanks to this experience, I was exhausted and fell asleep on the bus ride back. I graduated safely!

ワイキキからバスで１時間弱の海岸から、船でイルカ生息域まで行きました。
朝早かったので、眠気眼のまま船に乗り込みましたが、良い天気と海の風でスッキリ目が覚めました。
イルカの居そうな雰囲気を船長が察知し船を停留。10分足らずでイルカ生息域までついて、シュノーケルとフィンを身に着け、いざ海へ。
海の中で泳ぎながら、さまざまな角度からイルカを見る体験をすることができ、楽しかったです！
どうやってイルカが居そうな場所が簡単にわかるんだろう。気になる。。。

私は幸運にも３回も機会に恵まれました♪機会が少ない人は、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれて、見る機会を作ってくれるので、泳ぎが得意でない方でも大丈夫！

また、イルカが群れになって泳いでいく姿や、船とともに泳ぐ姿なども見ることができ、水族館で見る姿とは異なり、自由で快活な印象を受けました～。野生のイルカが生息できる環境維持って、必要ですね(^^♪

イルカ大学では、イルカウォッチングの後、自由時間があるため、亀や熱帯魚たち、SUPやスライダーなども楽しむことができました！
スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれるので、家族連れやカップル、友人同士など様々なお客さんがいた中、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。

おかげさまで、帰りのバスでは、疲れて爆睡でしたzzz
無事大学卒業！

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

Hmm... The pre-release buzz was too good, so my expectations might have been raised. It felt very average. The tour guide was a bit intimidating.

うーん。。。前評判が良すぎで期待値が上がってたかも。
とても普通な感じでした。
ツアーガイドの方がちょっと威圧的でした。

I checked the low tide times and made a morning reservation, so the beach was perfectly exposed, and I had a wonderful experience.

During snorkeling, I saw about three sea turtles! They were mostly hiding behind the coral, but when I was playing near the boat, a turtle swam right up to me! It was so close that I was surprised.

The guide was very kind and made an effort to ensure everyone had a good time.

It was a bit chilly before we set off because it was raining. I was really freezing during snorkeling...

Also, I was able to borrow a SUP during my free time, and that was really fun!

干潮時間を調べて午前の予約をしたので
バッチリ砂浜が出てきていてとてもいい経験ができました。

そしてシュノーケル中海亀も3匹ほどいました！！
サンゴに隠れてお尻ばっかり見ていたのですが
船の近くで遊んでいると、
スイスイ近くまで泳いでくる海亀にも出会えました！
あまりにも近すぎてびっくり。

ガイドさんもとても親切な方でみんなが楽しめるように工夫してくださってたと思います^ ^

出発前は雨が降っていたので
少し寒かったです。
シュノーケル中は本当に凍えました、、

あと、自由な時間にSUPを貸してもらえて
これが本当に楽しかったです！

It was a nice outing. You can bring your own liquor. The crew was nice. They only offer beer and water, but I think wine would be a nice addition. It was good, especially for the price. Nothing exceptional though.

Being in the middle of the beautiful sea feels amazing! Swimming with sea turtles and fish has become the best memory! Thank you very much.

綺麗な海の真ん中にいる気分は、最高です。！
海亀や魚達と一緒に泳げたのは、最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

We were lucky to enjoy the sandbar at low tide (^ - ^). The weather was initially predicted to be rainy, but we were able to see some sunshine and fully enjoy the beautiful sea. The snorkeling was reassuring with thorough explanations, and the barbecue on the boat was delicious. It was great that a turtle came to visit us too! ☆

ちょうど運良く干潮でサンドバー楽しめました(^-^)
天気も始めは雨と言われていましたが晴れ間も見られてとてもきれいな海を満喫できました。
シュノーケリングも丁寧な説明で安心して参加できました。船上バーベキューも美味しかったです。
亀も来てくれて、良かったです☆

It was a cloudy day, but the food was delicious, and I got to encounter sandbars and sea turtles. I was able to take some wonderful photos! I think it's a good idea to check the tide times for that day before going!

雲の多い天気でしたが
ご飯は美味しいかったし
サンドバーやウミガメにも出逢えて
素敵な写真が撮れました！
その日の
潮の時間をしっかり調べて行くのが良いと思います！

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.

妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

You can see the sea turtles clearly. When you arrive at the sandbar, the sea turtles come close and stay with you the whole time. You can see the sea turtles up close. The BBQ lunch is also very delicious. I highly recommend it.

うみがめがしっかり見えます。サンドバーに到着すると、うみがめがよってきて、滞在している間ずっといてくれます。まじかでウミガメを見れますよ。BBQランチもとてもおいしいです。おすすめです。

It was beautifully clear, and the sea was very transparent, with the shallowest area being about calf-deep. The staff member was Japanese and kindly explained the precautions. There was snorkeling equipment available, but I didn't use it because the water was cold. However, I was able to enjoy paddleboarding and other equipment that was available for rent. I was surprised when a friendly turtle came very close to the boat.

きれいに晴れて、海がとても透き通っており、1番浅いところでふくらはぎほど水位がありました。
スタッフさんが日本の方で、親切に注意事項を説明してくれました。
シュノーケルもありましたが、水が冷たくてやりませんでしたが、パドルボートなどの遊具を貸し出して貰えたので楽しむことができました。
仲良しだというカメが船のすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれたのには驚きました。

I participated because I wanted to swim with wild dolphins on my honeymoon. I was torn between middle school and university, but I chose university after seeing the difference in the boats. I was worried about getting seasick since I easily get motion sickness, but I was so excited to meet the dolphins that I looked far away and was thrilled, and I didn't feel sick at all. We spotted a pod of dolphins right after we set sail. I could see the dolphins jumping from the boat. Once we jumped into the sea, I desperately followed the guide and was able to see the dolphins. During the second time, I think I saw even more dolphins—there seemed to be about 30 of them. I thought we would try multiple times, but it ended after two times. Perhaps it was because everyone was able to see them well. After that, we spent time on the slide and snorkeling. I rented a wetsuit, but maybe because I was so excited, I didn't feel too cold and it might not have been necessary. I was very moved and satisfied, so I would like to do it again! I'm thinking about participating in the night manta university next time!!!

ハネムーンで野生のイルカと泳いでみたくて参加しました。中学と迷いましたが船の違いを見て大学にしました。乗り物酔いしやすいので心配でしたが、イルカと会えるのが楽しみで遠くを見たりワクワクしていたら全く酔いませんでした。出港してからすぐにイルカの群れを発見できました。船の上からも跳んでいるイルカが見えました。海に飛び込んでからは必死でガイドさんに着いていきイルカを見ることができました。2回目はもっと沢山のイルカを見れました。30頭くらいいたような気がします。もっと何回もトライするのかと思っていましたが、2回で終わりでした。全員しっかり見ることができたからでしょうか。その後はスライダーをやったりシュノーケリングをして過ごしました。ウェットスーツをレンタルしましたが興奮していたからかあまり寒く感じず必要なかったかもしれません。とても感動し満足だったのでまたお願いしたいです！次は夜間のマンタ大学にも参加してみようかなと思います！！！

Continuing from last year!
This year too! I’ve definitely decided to go!
I was so happy to meet Jamie and I also got to see Kame-chan!!

It was really fun!
I’ll go again!

The food is incredibly delicious!

去年に引き続き！
今年も！絶対行くと決めてー
ジェイミーに出会えて嬉しいかったし
亀ちゃんにも！会えた！！

ほんまに楽しかったー！
また
行きます！

ご飯がめちゃくちゃ上手い！

I was a bit disappointed because the weather was bad.
They sell items like motion sickness pills and shoes if needed.
There is an explanation when purchasing, but it can come off as trying to make you buy something.
I was told that I could download photos later, but only one is free.
The rest will incur a fee.
I thought that with the explanation on board, I could download all my favorite photos for free.
I gave the tip to the captain when we disembarked.
I don't want to carry cash, so I would prefer a price that includes the tip.
I would like the tip requirement (percentage of the tour cost) to be clearly stated in the tour details.

天気が悪かったので少しがっかりでした。
酔い止めとかシューズとか必要な場合は販売してもらえます。
販売に際して説明があるのですが買わそうとしている様にも取れます。
写真を後日ダウンロードできるとの事でしたが、
無料なのは1枚だけです。
あとは料金が発生します。
船上での説明の仕方だと好きな写真を全部無料でダウンロード
できると思ってました。
チップは船を降りる際にキャプテンに渡しました。
現金は持っていきたくないのでチップ込み料金にしてほしい。
チップ必要（ツアー代何％）とツアー詳細にわかりやすく明記してほしい。

I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was able to enter the ocean with a kickboard. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I want to take advantage of the scholarship program to try again. I had a lot of fun playing with sea turtles and tropical fish. The current in the ocean was strong, making it difficult to swim. The wind was also strong and it got cold, so I highly recommend borrowing a wetsuit (it's only $10). You can also buy the photo data for $50, so I recommend seeing and enjoying it with your own eyes.

泳ぎが苦手な私でしたが、ビート板を貸してもらって海に入ることができました。イルカを水中で確認することができなくてちょっと残念でしたが、（いたのに確認できなかったことが残念）奨学金制度を利用してリベンジしたいです。ウミガメやトロピカルフィッシュとはたくさん遊べました。海の流れが速く、泳ぐのが大変。風も強く体も冷えるので参加する人は是非ウエットスーツを借りてください。（10ドルで安いですよ）写真のデーターも50ドルで買えるので、自分の目でしっかり見て楽しむのがお薦めです。

I took my 3-year-old daughter on our first trip to Hawaii. With a small child, there are limits to what you can do, so I pondered various activities in Hawaii, but this tour was completely suitable for little kids (3 years old) and was incredibly enjoyable!

I checked the tide times for Kaneohe in advance and chose a tour date during the lowest water level of our stay in Hawaii. However, whether the weather would be good was up to luck... We were really fortunate, as it was sunny from the morning, and the water level was just about knee-high, so we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and made the experience fun, and they were very kind to my daughter as well. She looked like she was having a great time, and I was so happy to see that. The buffet on the boat was delicious too!

We also got to see sea turtles, and I was surprised at how close they came to us. While the weather can be a matter of luck, I highly recommend that those who will participate check the tide times in advance before signing up!

３歳の娘を連れて、初めてのハワイ。
小さな子供連れだと出来ることも限られていますので、ハワイでやることを色々と悩みましたが、このツアーは小さな子供（３歳）でも全然ＯＫで、とっても楽しめる内容でした！

事前にカネオヘの満潮と干潮を調べて、ハワイ滞在中で最も水位が低い時間帯のツアーの日程を選びました。
でも、天候が良いかどうかは運次第…。
私達は本当に運が良く、朝から晴れて、水位もくるぶしくらいの高さだったので、本当に楽しめました。
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく楽しく盛り上げて下さり、娘にもとても優しくしてくれました。
娘も本当に楽しそうにしていて、その姿を見られて嬉しかったです。
ボートでのビュッフェも美味しかったですよ♪

ウミガメにも会うことが出来、しかもとっても近くまで来てくれて驚きました。
天候については運の部分もありますが、これから参加される方にはぜひ満潮と干潮の時間を事前に調べてから申し込むことをオススメします♪

The scenery was very beautiful, and the guide was very helpful, but the snorkeling was quite disappointing. I was aware that the waters in Hawaii are not very clear, but it felt like a complete beginner course. There weren't even fins provided.

景色はとても綺麗だし、ガイドさんもとてもよくしてくれましたが、シュノーケリングだけがとても残念でした。
ハワイの海が綺麗でないことは承知でしたが、
超初心者コースといった感じ。
フィンすらありませんでした。

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

I had been interested for a while, but this time I decided to participate for the first time. To prepare, I researched the dates and times when the sandbar would be fully exposed and booked a morning tour. The weather was a bit cloudy, but as scheduled, the sandbar was completely revealed and it was breathtaking. After that, I enjoyed snorkeling and water sports. The food was also very delicious, and the guide's stories were very entertaining. I definitely want to participate again next time.

以前から興味はあったのですが、今回初めて参加することにしました。
そのためにサンドバーが、完全に表れる日にちと時間を調べて、午前中のツアーを予約して参加しました。天気は少し曇り気味でしたが、予定通りに
サンドバーは完全に水が引いていて圧巻でした。後はシュノーケリングやマリンスポーツを楽しみました。食事も大変おいしく、ガイドさんの話もとても面白かったです。次回もぜひ参加したいと思います。

Had a great time. Crew were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Laughed learned and had a wonderful time with my entire family.

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

It was cloudy on the day, but the staff member, 19-year-old Joan, was very friendly and took great care of my 12-year-old child, making it a lot of fun. I participated in the afternoon plan, and both the staff and the food were excellent.

当日曇りでしたが、スタッフのジョアン１９歳がとても人懐こくて１２歳の子供の相手をしてくれてとても楽しめました。
　午後のプランで参加しましたが、スタッフも食事も最高でした。

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.

船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

The whole experience was fantastic...from the crew who were extremely helpful to the accommodations. Boat was new, not overcrowded. Ride went from the harbor to Diamond head. Saw turtles, fish and even a pod of dolphins. Captain provided good information. Definately recommend.

I think it's a tour that is influenced by the tides. It was my first time participating, but I was able to land on the sandbar successfully. Maybe it's because I've been behaving well lately—haha! I was also able to see the honu (sea turtle) properly. When it was time to return to the port, the guide waved goodbye and came to greet us!

We practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the guide stayed with us, constantly checking in to see if we were okay, which was reassuring. The meal we had on the boat was super delicious. I especially loved the chili beans. I definitely want to participate again!

潮の満ち引きで左右されるツアーだと思います。初めての参加でしたが、しっかりサンドバーに上陸出来ました。日頃の行いが良いからかなぁー笑
ホヌちゃんにもしっかり会う事ができました。また、港に蛙時間になったら、武具さんがバイバーイって、ご挨拶に来てくれました！！
浅瀬で、シュノーケリングの練習もするし、一緒に着いてきてくれて、また大丈夫？って、常に声をかけてくれるので安心でした。
船で頂いた食事も、超～美味しかったです。
特にチリビーンズがお気に入りです。
是非、また参加したいでーす。

I read in the reviews that there was no need to pay, but it was incredibly fun and the best experience!
1. The Lot Ticket Tour allowed us to enter the world of movies and experience Jurassic Park!
2. The Jungle Tour was amazing because we had a driver with incredible driving skills, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
3. The Garden Tour was nice since it was a botanical garden.
My child is 9 years old, and while we couldn't do the buggy or horseback riding, this choice was the best.
I've experienced various optional tours abroad, but this was the most enjoyable.
My image of Hawaii has completely changed.
It is indeed pricey, but it's worth it!
The meals were also suited for Japanese tastes, like teriyaki chicken.

口コミには、払う必要が無いって書いてましたが、とんでもなく楽しくて最高でした！
①ロチケツアーは、映画の世界に入れて、ジェラシックパークを体感できました！！
②ジャングルツアーは、ドライビングテクニックが、凄い方に当たったので、ジェットコースターのように、楽しめました。
③ガデーンツアーは、植物園なので、それなりに、良かった。
子供は9才ですが、バギーも馬も無理でしたが、
このチョイス最高。
海外のオプシナルツアーを色々体験してますが、1番楽しめました。
ハワイのイメージ激変。
確かにお高いですが、良いです！
食事も日本人向きでした。照り焼きチキン(^-^)

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.

夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか？
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

We participated as a couple.
The weather on the day was cloudy with occasional rain, which made the scenery disappointing.
The snorkeling visibility was not great due to the lack of sunlight. It was cold for late April with this weather.

The lunch was delicious, and the staff's service was very good.
A sea turtle came right up close, and we were able to observe it closely.

夫婦で参加しました。
当日は曇り～時々雨といったところで、景色は残念なものに。
シュノーケリングも太陽光が無いため視界がイマイチでした。
4月下旬で、この天気だと寒かったです。

ランチは美味しく、スタッフの対応はとても良かったです。
ウミガメがすぐそばまで来て、じっくり見れました。

I participated in the tour on the morning of April 12. The tide was high, and the minimum line was at waist level, so we couldn't see the sandbar. Moreover, the weather was bad and the water temperature was low, causing those who participated in snorkeling to shiver so much that they could hardly eat. It was disappointing that we couldn't fully enjoy the sea, but it was nice that a turtle came close to the boat. The staff also entertained us, and the food was delicious.

４月１２日朝のツアーに参加しました。
潮位が高く、最低ラインは腰の位置で、サンドバーは見れませんでした。
しかも、天候が悪くて水温が低く、シュノーケリングに参加した人たちは、寒さで食事を取る手もガタガタ震えていたほどです。
十分に海を楽しむことができなくて残念でしたが、亀が船の近くまでよってきてくれたので、よかった。
スタッフも楽しませてくれたし、食事も美味しかった。
