It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.

雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。

It was rainy and cold, but when I saw the dolphins, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I highly recommend this tour!

雨が降って寒かったですが、イルカが見れた時は寒さも忘れるぐらい嬉しかったです。ぜひオススメのツアーです

The location tour was interesting and time passed quickly, but the next jungle tour? The guide was a foreigner and spoke only English. The places we visited felt similar to the location tour. I couldn't understand anything the guide was saying and we just rode around in a truck that had a bit more speed. If I had known the guide would only speak English, I wouldn't have gone.

We wasted about an hour and a half here, and the meal we finally returned to was terrible; it would have been better not to eat at all. The last taste farm had a Japanese guide who was easy to understand, which improved my mood a bit, but we spent almost the entire day going around similar environments and wasted precious time during our stay in Hawaii. I wish the Japanese site had mentioned in the notes that the guide would only speak English.

ロケ地ツアーは面白く時間が過ぎましたが続いてのジャングルツアー？ガイドが外人さんで英語のみ
回る場所もロケ地ツアーと雰囲気変わらず
ガイドが何言ってるか全くわからないままただ少しスピード感を出したトラックで回るのみ
英語のみのガイドなら行きませんでした。
ここで無駄に１時間半位時間を無駄にしやっと戻った食事がまた最悪、食べない方がマシでした。
最後のテイストファームはわかりやすい日本のガイドだったので少し気分が良くなりましたが、いかんせん同じような環境をほぼ一日中回ってせっかくのハワイの貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしました。
日本のサイトで申し込んで英語だけのガイドなら注意事項で書いておいてほしかったです。

On the day of the event, it was cloudy with a north wind blowing, so I rented a free wetsuit. Since it was high tide, the water level in the sandbar area was up to my stomach, which was different from what I had seen in the guidebook, so I was a bit disappointed. Just as we were leaving, the weather finally improved, and at the very end, I was able to see the beautiful emerald green sea and encounter a sea turtle, so I rated it three stars.

参加当日は曇りで北風が吹いており寒かったため、無料のウェットスーツをレンタルしました。ちょうど満潮だったため、サンドバーのエリアも潮位はお腹の辺りまであり、ガイドブックで見たサンドバーとは異なっていたため、少しガッカリしました。帰り際にようやく天気が回復してきて、最後の最後でエメラルドグリーンに輝く綺麗な海が見られたのと、ウミガメに出会えたため、評価は星3つとしました。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Overall, the sunset cocktail cruise was excellent. The service staff was very attentive and would frequently go around the catamaran, refilling drinks and asking if you needed anything. The cruise itself did not take you very far from the pier, and stayed off the Waikiki coast, but still had an excellent view of diamond head and sunset. The appetizers were good, though not very substantial, consisting of chips, salsa, guacamole, salad, pasta salad, veggies, and rolls. Wouldn’t expect to get full from the food. The drinks were great, and basically free-flowing. Overall an excellent cocktail cruise

I did some research beforehand, and I decided to go because Captain Bruce can get you close to where the turtles are.

事前に調べての参加でしたが、キャプテンブルースが一番カメがいるあたりまで近くに行けるということで決めました。

Due to a sudden change in the hull inspection, we used this option. Since it was our wedding anniversary, I was worried about how it would turn out, but this was also very lovely. The view was great as well.

船体検査で急遽変更し、こちらを利用させていただきました。結婚記念日でしたのでどうなることかと思いましたが、こちらもとても素敵でした。景色もよく見えました。

Until we boarded the boat, I was anxious about whether we would actually see the dolphins since they are wild. After preparing to enter the sea, we heard that there was a pod of dolphins, so we quickly jumped in and swam towards where the dolphins were. Some people were able to see them, but we couldn't see anything at all. I was tired and my legs felt heavy from the fins I was wearing for the first time, but we were encouraged by the tour guide's words, "Let's keep trying a little longer!" As we started swimming again, the dolphins began to swim towards us, and in no time, they were right in front of us. They quickly swam away, but then another pod came close, and I think we encountered about 100 dolphins and were able to swim with them. It was truly a wonderful experience, even better than I had imagined.

船に乗るまではイルカと泳ぐといっても 相手は野生なのでほんとに
見ることが出来るのか不安でした。
海に入る準備が出来てしばらくするとイルカの群れがいるとのことで
早速海に入りひたすらイルカのいる方を目指し泳ぎました。
でも 中には見れた人もいましたが 私達には全く見えなくて
初めて付けたフィンで足が重たく疲れてはいましたが
もう少し頑張りましょう！というツアーのおねーさんの言葉に励まされ
泳ぎだすと 今度はイルカ達がどんどん こちらに泳いで来て
あっという間に目の前をイルカ達が泳いでくれて すぐに行ってしまったけど
今度は別の群れが近くに来てくれて きっと100匹位のイルカに出会え
一緒に泳げたと思います。
想像以上に素敵な体験ができて本当に良かったです。

I was surprised to see sea turtles come right up to my feet! I was so hungry after swimming that I ended up going back for seconds because it was so delicious.

足元にまで、海亀が来てビックリ‼、ランチも泳いだ後でお腹すいていたので、おかわりしてしまうほど美味しかったです。

The staff warmly welcomed us and took commemorative photos. After boarding, the 3rd floor has a dinner class, while the 2nd floor offers appetizers. We were able to enjoy a buffet of light snacks (like meatballs) on the 2nd floor, where there were few passengers and the spacious interior of the ship allowed us to relax. There was live music on board that we could enjoy until we docked. The staff's service was also good. We went around the back of Diamond Head and returned, but since it was a new ship, we didn't experience any seasickness and were able to dock smoothly. The price was reasonable, and I highly recommend it.

出迎えではスタッフが丁寧に出迎え記念写真を撮ってくださいました。
乗船後３Fはディナーがあるクラスですが２Fはアペタイトです。私達は２Fで乗船客も少なくゆったりと広々とした船内で食べ放題の軽食（ミートボールなど）をたくさん食べることができました。船内では生演奏があり入港まで聞くことができました。スタッフの対応も良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで行き引き返しますが、新しい船なので船酔いすることもなく寄港することができました。
値段も安くておすすめです。

I participated because it was a filming location for the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. It took about 15 minutes from the port to the mooring point. During the ride, I enjoyed some drinks and brownies. When getting off the boat, I waded in the water to walk to the point. The shallowest water level at the point was about ankle-deep. The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but it was pleasantly sunny, and I had a great time.

After that, it was snack time. It was a buffet-style meal where you could eat as much as you liked. The food was good, especially the sausages, which were delicious. After finishing the meal, it was time for snorkeling. Unfortunately, it started to rain, so I couldn't see the beautiful underwater scenery with sunlight, but I did see a sea turtle.

When we returned, we had some free time to play with standing paddles and balls. My family cut their feet on the sandbar, but they received treatment from the first aid kit. The staff were very kind, and I had a fulfilling time. I would love to participate again!

If you're looking forward to enjoying the sandbar, I think it would be better to check the tide levels in Kaneohe in advance to have a more enjoyable experience.

映画パイレーツオブカリビアンのロケ地だった事もあり参加しました。
港から15分程で係留ポイントへ。
着くまでの間に飲み物とブラウニーをいただきました。
船から降りる時は腰浸かり、歩いてポイントへ。
ポイントの1番浅い水位は足首くらい。
天候は快晴…とはいかなかったものの、程よく晴れて楽しめました。
その後は軽食タイム。
バイキング形式で好きなものを好きなだけ食べられました。
味もGOOD。特にソーセージが美味しかったです。
食事を終えるとシュノーケリングタイム。
ここで雨が降ってきてしまい、太陽が差し込む綺麗な海中は見られなかったですが、ウミガメも見られました。
戻ってきてから時間があったので、スタンディングパドルやボールで遊ぶ時間がありました。
サンドバーで家族が足を切ってしまいましたが、ファーストエイドキットで処置してもらいました。
その他にもスタッフの方に親切にしていただき、充実した時間を過ごせました。
また参加したい！

サンドバーを楽しみに行かれるなら、事前にカネオヘの潮位を調べて参加された方が楽しめるのではないかと思います。

The weather wasn't great, so the photos of the sea and sky didn't turn out well. However, I was able to see turtles, and the lunch was delicious, so I'm glad I participated. The guide was also very kind! Thank you very much.

お天気がイマイチだったので、せっかくの海・空の写真も映えずでした。
ですが、亀にも会えたしランチも美味しかったので参加してよかったです。
ガイドの方も親切でした！ありがとうございました。

There are people who can speak Japanese, and since you wear life jackets when entering the sea, I think it's a tour that even those who are not confident in swimming can enjoy safely.
It is paid, but renting a wetsuit was the right choice!
I went in August, and since you go into the sea quite a few times, it gets pretty cold!
I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles as well.

日本語が出来る方もいますし、ライフジャケット着用で海に入るので、泳ぎに自信がない人でも安心して楽しめるツアーだと思います。
有料ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした！
8月に行きましたが海に入る回数も多いので、結構冷えます！
イルカ、ウミガメも見ることが出来ました。

Meeting the dolphins and sea turtles was amazing! The scenery was incredible. I was moved to see a large group of dolphins and to watch the sea turtles come up for air up close. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was fine even though I can't swim. The staff were very attentive and I had a great time!

イルカとウミガメに会えて最高でした！
あの景色は最高です。イルカの大群、ウミガメが息継ぎで海面に出るとこを近くで見れたり、感動しました。
船酔いをしてどうなるかと思いましたが、泳げなくても大丈夫です。スタッフの方がすごく丁寧に対応してくれるし、とても楽しめました！

I was torn between a large ship, but since I had a toddler with me, I decided to join this optional tour where toddlers are free at the buffet. A welcome drink is included, and you can enjoy unlimited food while sipping on that. With live music, hula dancers performed, and everyone on board danced and had a great time. The waitresses were also lively and good at dancing. There were many non-Japanese guests, and we celebrated together with people from various countries, including those celebrating anniversaries and birthdays. The sunset started to become visible around 6:30, and I was able to capture beautiful photos.

大きい船と迷ったのですが幼児もいたのでバイキングで幼児は無料となっているこのオプショナルツアーに参加しました。ウエルカムドリンクは1杯付いていて、そちらを飲みながら好きな食事をとり放題。生演奏の中フラを踊ってくれて乗船されたみんなで踊り盛り上がりました。ウエイトレスものりのりで、踊りが上手でした。日本人以外が多く色々な国の方と一緒に盛り上がり結婚記念日と誕生日の方もいてみんなでお祝い。夕陽が6時半位から見え始め綺麗に写真におさめることができました。

The sandbar's low tide timing was perfect... but the weather was overcast.
I had a 20-minute snorkeling session and got to see a lot of turtles.
Above, there was a large school of saury, and below, I spotted an eel!
It was a good decision to bring marine boots instead of going barefoot on the sandbar.
If I had enough space in my bag, I might have brought short fins for snorkeling.
I hope the weather is fantastic next time!

サンドバー 干潮時間ばっちり・・・ただ鉛色のお空の天気が・・
20分のシュノーケリングでしたが、たくさんのカメさんにお会いできました。
上にはサヨリの大群が観られましたし、下にはウツボ発見！
サンドバーには裸足でなくマリンブーツ持参で正解。
シュノーケルは荷物に余裕があれば短いフィンでも持ってくればよかったかなぁ。
次回は天気が最高です・よ・う・に。

It was cloudy, windy, and cold, but since I rented a wetsuit, the water didn't feel too cold. I discovered dolphins in relatively shallow water! The water's clarity was amazing, and I was surrounded by a pod of dolphins in all directions, which was breathtaking! Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. I regret not bringing my camera. I want to master snorkeling perfectly and participate again!

曇りで風も強く寒かったんですがスウェットスーツをレンタルしたので水の中はそんなに冷たく感じませんでした。わりと浅いところでイルカを発見！水の透明度も凄く良くて360度イルカの群れに囲まれ感動しました！もちろん海ガメにも会えました★カメラを持って入らなかったことに後悔。シュノーケルを完璧にマスターしてもう一度参加したいです！

I was picked up at the hotel, and although it started raining on the way, it stopped when we arrived. Then it rained again when we got on the boat, but it stopped once more. I was most concerned about the water level, but it was low, and we actually had a sandy beach! ❤
The staff were kind and friendly, taking photos with us and even acting as photographers, so we got a lot of great pictures. ✌
Right after that, we went snorkeling, and the staff provided very thorough instructions on putting on life jackets and masks, checking everything, and practicing to ensure that even first-timers could do it safely.
During snorkeling, the staff were always with us, making sure we didn't bump into the coral and showing us where the turtles were, so we could enjoy watching beautiful fish and turtles while feeling safe.
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious, and we really had a great time and made wonderful memories.
Thank you so much to all the friendly staff. I definitely want to use this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time.

ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、行く途中に雨が降ってきたのに着いたらやみ、船に乗ったらまた雨が降ってきてまたやみ、という繰り返しでしたが、一番気にしていた水位も低くなんと砂浜でした❤
スタッフの人も優しく親切で一緒に写真を撮ったり、カメラマンになってくれたりでいい写真が沢山撮れました✌
その後すぐにシュノーケリングでしたが、ライフジャケットの装着からマスクの装着の説明、点検、練習と、初めての方でも事故の無いようにととても丁寧な対応でした。
シュノーケリングではスタッフの人が常に一緒で珊瑚に当たらないよう見ていてくれたり、カメの居場所を教えてくれたりと安心して綺麗な魚やカメを見ながらシュノーケリングできました。
また船上のBBQもとても美味しくてほんとにいい時間、いい思い出ができました。
フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。
また今度ハワイに行った時も是非利用したいツアーです。

The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.

For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).

The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!

結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人（21～65歳）で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました！ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです！デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした！

We encountered a sea lion. It was a lucky sighting unique to nature, and the whole family enjoyed it. The pod of dolphins was very impressive and really exciting.

逸れアシカにも遭遇。
自然ならではのラッキーな出現で家族みんな楽しめました。
イルカの群れはとても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。

It was my first time swimming with dolphins, and it was truly amazing!
The weather on the day of participation was cloudy, and it had just rained, making the temperature quite low, which wasn't ideal.
I knew very well that since they are wild animals, the chance of seeing them is not 100%, so I was quite anxious... but!
I was able to see many dolphins, and I was genuinely moved!
I thought I wouldn't be able to get too close since you're not supposed to chase them, and I hoped to see them from a distance, but unexpectedly, I got to see them up close and was super excited!
When I dove a little, I felt like I could reach out and touch them—how could they be so close?!
After the dolphin swim, I went snorkeling and saw small fish and a sea turtle.
Unlike dolphins, the sea turtle swam while being rocked by the waves, so even though I knew I shouldn't touch it, I felt a bit nervous when it came close to me. (laughs)
I probably didn't swim for very long during the dolphin swim or snorkeling, but it did take quite a bit of energy.
So, the cheeseburger made by the captain tasted even better.
The crew members were all very nice, and it seemed like they were keeping a close eye on those who were anxious about swimming or their stamina.
The photos taken by the photographer can be purchased separately.
Before the dolphin swim, there was an explanation, and the guide, Musashi, said,
"You are free to take photos with your own camera, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. See the dolphins with your own eyes! You can also purchase photos from the photographer."
At that moment, I thought, "They just want to sell photos..." (sorry about that), but those words are true!
I believe you should definitely see the wild dolphins with your own eyes and imprint that memory.
At the end, there was even a discussion about environmental considerations for the dolphins, which really touched me.
It made me think about starting small eco-friendly practices so that dolphin swim tours can continue for a long time.

One thing I was concerned about was that the day of participation coincided with the Honolulu Half Marathon, which caused traffic restrictions, and the pickup took over an hour.
Since we were the first pickup, we spent quite a long time on the bus. (laughs)
The guides worked hard to manage the situation, and in the end, we got to see the dolphins without any complaints, but I think the marathon wasn't something that was decided yesterday or today, so it would have been even better if some measures could have been taken!

人生初のドルフィンスイムでしたが、本当に最高でした！
参加日は曇り、ついさっきまで雨が降っていて気温も低めというあまり良くないコンディション。
野生の生き物なので見れる確率は100%ではないのは重々承知の上参加していますがとても不安…でしたが！
沢山のイルカを見る事が出来て本当に本当に感動しました！
イルカは追いかけてはいけないし、あまり近くにより過ぎる事もないだろうから遠目に見れたら良いな…と思っていたのですが、予想外に近くで見れて大興奮！
ちょっと潜水したら手が届きそうでこんなにも近くで見れるの！？と思いました。
ドルフィンスイム後のシュノーケリングでは小さい魚やウミガメを見ました。
ウミガメはイルカと違い波に揺られながら泳いでいるので触れてはいけない…とわかっていてもウミガメの方から近付いてきてヒヤヒヤしました。笑
ドルフィンスイムもシュノーケリングも恐らくそんなに長くやっていないのですが、結構体力使います。
なのでキャプテンが作ってくれるチーズバーガーがより美味しく感じました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方ばかりで、泳ぎや体力に不安がある方はきちんと見ていてくれているようでした。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は別途有料で購入出来ます。
ドルフィンスイム前に説明があるのですが、ガイドのムサシさんが
「自分のカメラで写真を撮るのは自由ですが、写真を撮る事にとらわれ過ぎないで。自分の目でイルカを見て！写真はカメラマンからも購入出来ます。」
と仰っていて、この時は「写真を買わせようとしているな…」と思っていましたが(すみません)
この言葉は本当です！
野生のイルカ、絶対自分の目でしっかり見て焼き付けるべきだと思います。
最後はイルカの為に環境配慮の話しまであり、ジーンとしました。
いつまでもドルフィンスイムツアーが可能なよう、自分も小さな事からエコを始めようと考えさせられました。

一つ気になったのは参加日がホノルルハーフマラソン当日で交通規制がかかりピックアップのみで１時間超えだった事。
私達は一番最初のピックアップだったので結構長い間バスに乗りました。笑
ガイドさん達も一生懸命対処してくださりましたし、結果的にイルカも見れて文句無し、ですがマラソン自体は昨日今日決まった事ではないと思うので、何かしらの対策を講じる事が出来ていたら更に良かったのかな！？と思います！

I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!

On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.

Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.

Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.

- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.

They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.

What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.

I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.

I want to try again on a nice day!

ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!

土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。

基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの＋Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。

天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。

-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能！これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能

ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。

持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。

タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。

天気いい時にリベンジしたい！

I had previously swum with wild dolphins on another tour, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, I wanted to try a different tour, so I joined the highly-rated and well-organized tour by the prestigious Dolphin University.

On the bus ride there, the guide shared not only knowledge about dolphins but also various stories about Hawaii, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. The guides and crew members had a great rapport, and everyone was friendly, creating a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish.

Once we set sail, we quickly spotted wild dolphins! We could see them jumping from the boat, and I hurriedly got ready to jump in! A large pod of dolphins swam back and forth near us, and it felt like we were swimming together. I was truly moved. I think I swam quite hard for a significant amount of time, but I was so engrossed that I forgot all about the fatigue.

When I got back on the boat, the crew had prepared freshly made hamburgers for us. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot, where we were able to see many fish. We even spotted swimming sea turtles, which was very satisfying!

We jumped off the boat into the sea, did some stand-up paddleboarding, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. It was truly a packed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

The next time I participate in a dolphin swimming tour, I would definitely like to use Dolphin University again!

以前他のツアーで野生のイルカと泳いだことがあり、その感動が忘れられず、今回は前回と違うツアーで参加してみたいと思い、評判もよく、内容も充実している名門イルカ大学さんのツアーに参加させていただきました。

行きのバスではガイドの方からイルカの知識だけでなく、ハワイに関するいろいろなお話も聞け、あっという間に港まで着きました。ガイドやクルーの方同士も仲が良く、皆さんフレンドリーで最初から最後までとても雰囲気がよかったです。

いざ出港してからは、本当にすぐに野生のイルカを発見！
船からも飛び跳ねるイルカの姿が見え、急いで準備をして飛び込みました！
たくさんのイルカの群れが何度も行ったり来たりで近くを泳いでくれ、真下を通ったり、一緒に泳いでいるような感覚で、本当に感動しました。結構な時間、しっかりハードに泳いだと思うのですが、そんな疲れを忘れてしまうくらい、夢中になってしまいました。

船に上がると、クルーの方がハンバーガーを作ってくれていて、できたてをいただきました。
その後はシュノーケルのスポットに移動したのですが、こちらもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。泳いでいるウミガメも見られ、大満足でした！

船からジャンプして海に飛び込んだり、SUPができたり、帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったり、本当に最初から最後まで盛りだくさんで楽しませていただきました。

またイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加する際は、名門イルカ大学さんを利用したいと思います！

It was really disappointing that there was no information provided, such as the address and map of the departure location, so that I could go directly there if I couldn't get in touch due to the morning mix-up.

朝入れ違いで、連絡取れないのなら、直接現地へ行けるように、出港場所の住所と地図くらい提示がなかったのは、すごく残念でした。

I was very satisfied that I could interact directly with the dolphins and signal to them. The trainers were also kind and taught us well, making it a great experience.

イルカと直接触れ合うことができたことと
イルカへの合図をしたりできて とても満足できた
トレーナーの方も親切に教えてくれて良い体験が出来た

At first, I was worried about seasickness and whether I would see dolphins, but starting with the crew and captain's introductions, we sang songs and took photos, and finally! We arrived at the dolphin point!
I was really swimming a lot, haha.
However, I was able to see the dolphins clearly!
There were some members who couldn't see the dolphins, but they kindly took us back to the dolphin point for that person!
The marine sports like SUP and the slide were also fun!
We were able to have cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice, but to be honest, I was too seasick to enjoy it, though we could take some back with us!

最初は船酔いやイルカが見られるか等不安でしたが、クルーやキャプテンの自己紹介に始まり、歌を歌ったり写真を撮ってもらったりしてついに！イルカのポイントへ到着！
めちゃめちゃ泳がされます笑
ただ、イルカはしっかり見られました！
メンバーの中にイルカを見られなかった方もいましたが、その方のためにもう一度イルカポイントへ行ってくれたりとても親切に対応してくれました！
マリンスポーツもSUPやスライダー等楽しかったです！
チーズバーガーとスナックとジュースがいただけましたが、正直船酔いでそれどころではありませんでしたが、お持ち帰りもできました！

There are other tours to the heavenly sea, but Captain Bruce's tour was great. We were able to encounter relatively shallow areas. It was difficult to find pictures that looked too stylish, but there was about knee-deep shallow water.

天国の海ツアーは他にもあるが、キャプテンブルースのツアーは良かった。比較的浅瀬のところに出くわすことができた。写真のようなオシャレすぎる絵は難しく膝上ぐらいの浅さはあった。

I was moved when a pod of dolphins swam right in front of me, just below us. The staff worked hard to entertain the participants as well. However, it was really unfortunate that the boat was rocking and the weather was not great, making it cold. Nature is beyond our control, so there's nothing we can do about that. The tour itself was wonderful, and I highly recommend it.

イルカの群れが自分たちの真下から目の前に抜けて泳いでいったのには
感動しました。スタッフの皆さんも参加者を楽しませようと
頑張って下さいました。・・ただとにかく残念だったのは、船が揺れたことと
お天気が優れず寒かったことです。自然は不可抗力なので、仕方ないのですが。ツアー自体は素晴らしいですし、おすすめです。

I chose this tour because Captain Bruce's tour can take you to the shallowest spots, and although it was a bit pricey, I wanted to ensure a good experience. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but the water was up to my knees. I was disappointed. To reach the shallowest area, you have to wade through water up to your waist, so be prepared to get wet. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and I couldn't see the views I was hoping for. That's just luck. I didn't want to get my face wet, so I skipped snorkeling, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. I felt that 30,000 yen, including tips, was expensive.

キャプテンブルースさんのツアーが一番浅い場所まで行けるとのことなので、少し値は張りますが確実を狙いたくてこちらのツアーにしました。干潮の時間を調べて予約しましたが、膝下まで水がありました。がっかり。一番浅い所に行くまでに腰まで水に浸かりながら行くので、濡れる覚悟は必要ですね。天気が悪く思っていた景色が見れず残念でした。こればっかりは運ですね。顔を濡らしたくなかったのでシュノーケリングはパスしましたが、サップをさせて頂け楽しかったです。チップ込みで30000円は高く感じました。
