The air is fresh, the greenery is beautiful, and you can fully enjoy nature. The crew also entertained us with their lively guiding talk. I think it's definitely a place worth visiting.

空気がよく、緑は美しく、自然を満喫できます。クルーの方々も軽快なガイドトークで楽しませてくれました。ぜひ行くべき場所だと思います。

The sunset was the goal, but due to bad weather, we couldn't go out into the bay. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was not delicious at all. It felt more like just having a meal inside the boat rather than a sunset dinner cruising experience.

サンセットが目的でしたが天候悪く湾の外に出られませんでした。料理については期待はしていませんでしたが全く美味しく有りませんでした。サンセットディナークルージングでは無く舟の中で食事だけした感じです。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters. At first, they were a bit scared, but by the end, they were going up to touch the dolphins on their own and seemed very satisfied. We even got a photo of them kissing a dolphin, which I think made for a really memorable experience.

5歳と3歳の娘と参加しました。最初は恐る恐るでしたが、最後は自分からイルカにタッチしに行くようになり、大満足の様子でした。イルカとのキスの写真も撮れて、すごく思い出に残る経験ができたと思います。

It wasn't what I expected, and I was a bit disappointed. I felt that it wasn't worth the participation fee. The weather was bad, and it was too cold to even get into the water without shivering, so there was no way I could go snorkeling. I also couldn't see the scenery that looks so beautiful in photos.

思っていた感じではなく
少しがっかりでした。
この参加費を払って行くほどの価値はないけなと感じました。
天気が悪かったのもありますが寒すぎて海に入るのも震えながらで、とてもじゃないけどシュノーケリングできる状態ではありませんでした。写真で見るような景色もみれませんでした。

I participated in multiple dolphin swim tours over consecutive days, and it's no surprise that this tour is ranked number one in popularity.

At first, during the dolphin snorkeling, I ended up at the back of the group and, unfortunately, I only caught a brief glimpse of the dolphins. However, when I honestly mentioned this while confirming whether I had seen any dolphins, they offered a second try for those who wanted it. Although the dolphins didn't come very close during that attempt, I was already satisfied just to have the opportunity. To my surprise, they changed the location and gave me a few more minutes for a third try, and I was finally able to see the dolphins swimming.

I could really feel their strong belief that "if there are dolphins there, we will definitely show them to everyone."

After the activity, the cheeseburgers grilled by the captain on the boat are absolutely delicious. If you can't eat them on the spot, you can take them home, but the freshly made ones are truly tasty.

Hawaii tends to have strong winds, and the boat sways more compared to Kerama and Ishigaki Islands. Considering the time difference and climate changes, my body felt more fatigued than expected, so even those who are usually fine with motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication just in case (the placebo effect shouldn't be underestimated). On the day of the tour, just over 10% of the participants experienced motion sickness.

Also, I strongly recommend bringing the items listed outside the voucher section. Personally, I think a wetsuit rental, two bath towels, a change of clothes, anti-nausea medication, water (to take the medication before boarding), and cash are essential. Since there are places where you might get splashed, it's a good idea to take precautions to keep your belongings dry.

I wrote a lot, but I had a very enjoyable and extraordinary experience. If I have the chance to participate in another dolphin swim tour, I will definitely choose this tour again.

連日複数のイルカスイムツアーに参加しましたが、ツアー人気No.1というのは当然だと思います。
はじめイルカスノーケリングでは最後尾についたため、運悪く私だけがイルカの影をちらっと見た程度だったのですが、イルカが見れたかどうかの確認で正直に話したらさらに希望者だけのセカンドトライを行ってくれました。そのときはイルカはあまり近くに来てくれなかったのですが、そこまで行っていただいただけでも満足していました。と思いきやさらにポイントを変えて私だけ数分間サードトライをしてもらい、最終的にイルカが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
天候の都合等もあるかと思いますが、「そこにイルカがいるなら絶対に全員に見せるんだ」という強い信念をひしひしと感じました。
運動後、船長が船上で焼いてつくるチーズバーガーは絶品です。その場で食べれない方は持って帰れますが、熱々の出来立ては本当においしいです。
ハワイは風が強く、船の揺れも慶良間や石垣島と比べて大きくなる印象です。時差や気候の違いも含めて身体が予想以上に疲れているので、船酔いに強い人も念のために酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいかもしれません（プラシーボ効果も侮れません）。当日は１割強の人が船酔いで体調を崩していました。
あとバウチャー欄外に記載のおすすめの持ち物は本当に持って行った方がいいと感じました。個人的には、ウェットスーツレンタル、バスタオル２枚、着替え、酔い止め、水（船に乗る前に酔い止めを飲むため）、現金、が必須だと思います。場所によっては水がかかるので、荷物の中身が濡れないような工夫はしておいた方がいいです。
長々と記載しましたが、とても楽しく、非日常的な時間を過ごすことができました。またイルカスイムツアーに参加する機会があるなら、間違いなくこのツアーを選びます。

I participated with my 5-year-old son and family.

I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived at the sandbar in about 10 to 15 minutes. During that time, we enjoyed freshly made malasadas, and by the time my son was engrossed in eating, we had reached the sandbar.

The guide staff were friendly, and we had a great time. They paid special attention to the children, engaging with them and playing together, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We were able to take many photos at the sandbar.

We split into groups for snorkeling and playing at the sandbar, and we chose to stay at the sandbar.

During that time, we were lent floaties and paddleboards, allowing us to have fun and take many photos that captured the essence of Hawaii.

The lunch buffet was also very delicious.

This is a tour I would like to join again if I have the opportunity.

On the way back, we rode the bus in our swimsuits, but there were towels on the seats, so there was no discomfort at all.

5歳の息子と家族で参加しました。

船酔いも心配しましたが、サンドバーまで10分か15分くらいで到着。
その間出来立てのマラサダを頂いて、息子は夢中で食べてる間にサンドバー到着。

ガイドのスタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
子供を特に気にして頂いて、たくさん声を掛けてもらったり、一緒に遊んでもらってずーっと楽しく過ごせました。

サンドバーで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。

シュノーケリングするグループと、サンドバーで遊ぶグループに分かれて、私達はサンドバーに残りました。

その間、浮き輪やパドルボートなどを貸して頂いて、楽しく遊べてハワイらしい写真もたくさん撮れました。

ランチバイキングもすごく美味しかったです。

また行く機会があれば参加したいツアーです。

帰りのバスは水着のまま乗りますが、シートにはバスタオルがひかれていて、不快感はまったくなかったです。

I had a great time. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I couldn't see the sunset, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food and live music. However, the air conditioning on the ship was quite strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.

楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
残念ながら曇りで、日の入りは見ることができませんでしたが、お料理や生演奏は満喫できまきた。
ただ、船内がけっこう空調がきいていたので、上着を持参する方がいいかもしれません。

The crew members were cheerful, and the relaxed rules on the boat and the sea were uniquely Hawaiian, which was great. I was surprised to learn that bringing bananas or banana-patterned items on board is prohibited! The reason is that they can make fishing slippery. I wonder if someone brought bananas this time, which is why we didn't see any dolphins? At the snorkeling spot, the crew searched for the best position for that day. The sea was clear, and we could see the seabed at over 25 meters. It would have been amazing to encounter dolphins... Additionally, I was excited to have a rare encounter with whales in March. There were many sea turtles while we were cruising, so it was a tour that made me feel the richness of nature. Although we didn't see any dolphins this time, I heard that next time I come to Hawaii, I can participate in the free dolphin school, so I want to try again.

船員の方が陽気で、船上や海のルールなどもハワイ独特な緩さがあってよかったです。驚いたのはボートにバナナまたバナナ柄のものを持ち込み禁止!!理由は漁が滑るからだそうです。今回、バナナを持ち込んでしまった方がいたからイルカがいなかったのかなー？シュノーケリングスポットではその日のベストポジションを船員の方が探してくれていました。当日の海は潮が澄んでいて海底25m以上は目視ができました。イルカに出会えたら最高だったのになー...また、3月では珍しい鯨との遭遇に興奮致しました。走行中にはたくさんの海ガメがいたので自然の豊かさを感じるツアーでした。今回、イルカには会えませんでしたが次回ハワイに来た時は無料でイルカ中学に参加できるとのことなのでリベンジしたいと思います。

This was a great trip for my family! We did not get to see any dolphins but we got to see plenty of schools of fish and two sea turtles. The crew was excellent and made sure each and everyone of the guests had a great experience. Very patient with the kids and made it fun for them. Food was traditional Hawaiian meal and very good, with plenty of extra for seconds. Drinks were good too!

The tide was shallow, and there were many sea turtles, which was wonderful! If the weather had been better, it might have been even more amazing! The guide and the captain were nice people, and I had a great time.

潮も浅く、ウミガメもたくさんいて素晴らしかった！天気が良かったらもっと最高だったかも！！ガイドのお姉さんやキャプテンもいい人でとてもいい時間を過ごせました。

I woke up early and took about an hour to arrive at the port.

Based on previous experiences, I was warned about seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication and was fully prepared, but it didn't help. However, the staff were all very kind, checking on me multiple times and showing concern. Even when I felt unwell, they went out of their way to help me see the dolphins.

We then discovered a pod of dolphins a little distance away. I will never forget the sight of dolphins swimming in the water; it gave me goosebumps.

After seeing the dolphins, we enjoyed various activities like paddle boarding, sliding, and kayaking. While we were playing, the delicious smell of grilled meat filled the air. The captain himself grilled the meat and treated us to cheeseburgers. Having a meal in the ocean with such a magnificent view was the best.

They also taught us hula dancing, making it a tour full of entertainment. I truly recommend it!

朝早くに起きて1時間ほどかけて ポートに到着

以前の体験談をみて船酔いに注意とありましたので酔い止め飲んで万全の体制で行きましたが ダメでした
でもそんな中でもスタッフの方はみんな何度も声かけてくれたり気に掛けてくれとても親切でした
気持ちが悪い中 海の中に入った時も 必要以上に気を配ってくれ、イルカを見せてあげようと一生懸命に手を貸してくれました

そして少し離れたところでイルカの群れを発見
水の中で泳ぐイルカの群れ 忘れられません 海の中で鳥肌が立ちました

イルカを見た後もパドルボードやスライダーやカヤックなどで色々楽しませてくれました
遊んでる最中に お肉の焼けるいい匂い
船長さん自らお肉を焼いてチーズバーガーを振舞ってくれました
壮大な景色の中海でのご飯は最高でした

その後もフラダンスを教えてくれたり エンターテイメント制満載のツアーでした
本当にオススメです

The staff's response was good, and the tour members were attentive and engaging, which made the children very happy. If I had to say something, both children and adults need a certain level of physical fitness, as there are currents in the open sea.

スタッフの対応が良かった、ツアーメンバーの気配り、盛り上げ方など、子供達も大喜び、あえて言うなら、子供も大人もある程度の体力は求められます、外洋で流れもあります。

The driver with the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea panel will pick you up at the designated meeting spot. It takes about 50 minutes from Waikiki to the port. The weather was bad that day, with strong winds and cloudy skies, making it a bit chilly to go into the water. I borrowed a wetsuit for snorkeling because it was cold. While swimming near the coral reef, I was able to see a honu three times. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera or a waterproof cover for your smartphone. When I go back to Hawaii, I want to try again on a sunny day.

キャプテンブルース天国の海のパネルを持った運転手さんが指定の待ち合わせ場所でピックアップして下さいます。ワイキキから港までは５０分ほど。当日は朝から天気が悪く、強風と曇り空で海に入るのが少し寒かったです。シュノーケリングでは寒いのでウエットスーツを借りました。サンゴ礁近辺を泳いでいると、ホヌに３回も会うことが出来ました。防水カメラまたはスマホの防水カバーの持参をおすすめします。ハワイにまた行くときは天気の良い日にリベンジしたいと思います。

The weather was great with clear skies, and as soon as the boat set off, we saw turtles!! It was a quick ride to the sandbar, so I didn't feel seasick at all. The water was incredibly clear, and the guides were very friendly. Also, while waiting for our turn to snorkel, we could use free inflatable rings and paddleboards.

天候に恵まれ晴天で、船が出てすぐに亀が！！
サンドバーまでは船ですぐだったので全く船酔いもしなかったです。
海の透明度もすごいですし、ガイドさんたちもすごくフレンドリーでした。
また、シュノーケルの順番を待っている間も無料で貸し出しの浮き輪やパドルサーフィンもできました。

This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it again.
Although the weather was bad, the movie location tour was enjoyable.
The beach is recommended when the weather is nice.

2度目の参加で、今回も楽しめました。
天気が悪かったですが、映画ロケ地めぐりは楽しめます。
ビーチは天気が良い時がおススメです。

I checked the tide in advance and participated in the afternoon course. The sandbar was beautiful, but there wasn't much to do after taking photos. The snorkeling was great because I got to see sea turtles. It was quite cold for this time of year, and I was shivering from the cold. They lend you wetsuits, so it would have been impossible to snorkel without one. My wife couldn't stay underwater for more than ten seconds during the snorkeling practice and gave up. If someone doesn't like the feeling of having that rubber in their mouth, it might be difficult for them. The food was warm and delicious. The kids were going back for seconds.

事前に潮を確認して、午後のコースに参加しました。サンドバーは綺麗でしたが、写真を撮ったら特にすることも無かった。シュノーケリングは海ガメが見れて良かった。この時期にしては、かなり寒いらしく、寒さで震えてた。ウェットスーツを貸してくれるので借りないとシュノーケリングは無理だった。妻は、シュノーケリングの練習で１０秒以上潜っていられずシュノーケリングは断念した。あのゴムをくわえる感覚がダメな人は無理かな。ご飯は、暖かく美味しいかった。子供は、おかわりして食べていた。

I participated in the morning plan in mid-February. The day before was rainy and cold all day, but this day was sunny and warm, making it pleasant to enter the sea.

I checked the tide levels using the Kaneohe Bay Tide Chart and aimed to book during the lowest tide of my stay. It was about an hour after the Low Tide of 0.6 feet, but the water level was up to my calves in the shallowest areas.

It was my first experience snorkeling, and it wasn't difficult at all. I was able to see many colorful fish up close, and swimming with the sea turtles was a great experience.

The staff was full of hospitality, eager to make sure we had fun. Thank you very much.

　2月中旬の午前プランで参加しました。前日は１日中雨で寒かったですが，この日は晴れて暖かく，気持ちよく海に入れました。

　Kaneohe Bay Tide Chartで潮位を調べ，滞在中もっとも潮が引くときを狙って申し込みました。Low Tide 0.6 feetの時刻の1時間後くらいでしたが，一番浅いところでふくらはぎの下くらいまで水位がありました。

　シュノーケリング初体験でしたが難しいこともなく，たくさんの色とりどりの魚を間近に見ることができましたし，ウミガメと一緒に泳げたのも良い経験になりました。

　スタッフの方々は「楽しませよう！」というホスピタリティに満ちていました。ありがとうございました。

　

I'm really glad I participated in the tour. After departing and finishing the eco-mai, dolphins appeared, and I was able to see them. Before that, I also encountered sea turtles! Once again, dolphins showed up, and I was able to swim with them, fulfilling my dream of swimming with dolphins in the waters of Hawaii! During snorkeling, I also encountered sea turtles and sharks, and within that short time, I was able to meet many sea creatures! I enjoyed marine sports like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which are not easily available in Japan, making it a fulfilling trip. I'm truly grateful to everyone at Dolphin University. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
出発してエホマイ終了後にイルカが現れて、見ることができました。
その前にもウミガメに出会うこともできました！
再び、イルカが現れて一緒に泳ぐことができ、ハワイの海でイルカと泳ぎたいという夢が叶いました！
シュノーケリング最中も、ウミガメやサメにも遭遇し、その短時間の間で海の生き物にたくさん出会えることができました！
日本ではなかなかできないサップやカヤックなどマリンスポーツも楽しめ、充実した旅行になりました。イルカ大学のみなさんには本当に感謝してます。ステキな思い出をありがとうございます！

We used it as a couple. We were able to see the fireworks beautifully, and it created great memories. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

夫婦で利用しました。花火も綺麗に見る事ができ、良い思い出が出来ました。ハワイに行った時はまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

Good experience water was rough so we just cruised inside the harbor but great experience

The weather was perfect, and the sea felt like paradise.
On the way to the sandbar, the guide's explanations built up excitement...
When we finally arrived at the sandbar, it was even more than I imagined, and I was almost moved to tears!
It felt like I was actually walking on the water.

Also, during snorkeling, several turtles came close, and I had the wonderful experience of swimming with them, which made me very satisfied!

At the final BBQ, there were many dishes, including Kona coffee, making it an experience worth more than the price! Great value!!!
I will definitely participate again next time.
Thank you very much.

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の天国の海でした。
サンドバーに行くまでにもガイドの説明でウキウキワクワクが募り。。。
いざサンドバーにつくと想像以上で、涙が出そうに感動しました！
実際に海上を歩いているような気分です。

またシュノーケリングも身近にカメが何匹も寄ってきて
一緒に泳ぐ経験ができ大満足です！

最後のBBQでも品数も多く、コナコーヒーなどもあり
金額以上の体験です！コスパよい！！！
次回も絶対参加します。
ありがとうございました。

Thankyou for a wonderfull experience on this magnetic cruise - we loved it & can't wait to one day do this again !

It was very beautiful. However, you need to check the low tide times carefully. If you have too high expectations, it might be a bit disappointing. The staff were all very good. Their Japanese was excellent. I felt reassured.

とっても綺麗だった。でも、干潮時間はきちんと調べないと。期待過ぎると、ちょっと残念な事になるかも。スタッフの皆さんは、とても良かったです。日本語バッチリ。安心です

I couldn't see the beautiful sea like in the pictures. It's unavoidable since it depends on the weather. The tour price is quite high, and they also expect a tip, so I wouldn't recommend it.

写真のような綺麗な海は見れず。
天気次第なので仕方ありませんが。
ツアー代もそこそこ高いのにチップもしっかり要求され、おススメしません。

I think it might be the season, but it was very cold with the wind blowing. If the weather is nice, I believe it could be enjoyable.

時期的にそうなのかと思いますが、風が吹いてとても寒かったです。天気がいいタイミングであれば楽しめるのではないかと思います。

I signed up with the intention of leisurely walking on the sandbar. I thought I could jump around like in the photos posted. However, when I arrived, it was high tide, and I couldn't walk at all. It was disappointing that I ended up having to get into the water, even though I hadn't planned on it. I also felt that my information-gathering skills were lacking, as it was clearly stated that the sandbar couldn't be walked on in the afternoon, even though I participated in the morning...

That said, all the event staff were very nice, and even though I couldn't participate in snorkeling because I’m not good at it, they accommodated me by letting me ride a kayak and a speedboat, so I enjoyed that part. I thought the BBQ meal would be cooked on the sandbar, but it turned out to be a buffet style served on the boat. The meat was delicious, and the bone-in short ribs were my favorite flavor, so I had seconds multiple times.

I also didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that those who participated in snorkeling were able to see them. Although it was called a "Heavenly Sea Tour," based on my experience on the date I attended (it rained a little too), I honestly didn't feel that way, and I thought it could have been the same at a nearby beach. I think it would be good if they clearly stated the potential downsides beforehand to manage expectations.

サンドバーをのんびり歩くつもりで申込みをしました。
掲載されてる写真のように、ジャンプしたりできるかと。
しかし、到着すると満潮で歩く事はできませんでした。
水に入るつもりもなかったのに、
水に入らざるを得ない状況になってしまったのも残念でした。
私の情報収集能力が欠けてたせいもあるのですが、
午後はサンドバーは歩けませんと大きく明記してあると、
午前に参加したのに…と思いました。
ただ、イベントスタッフの方はみんな良い人でしたし、
シュノーケリングが苦手で参加出来しなかったのですが、
カヤックに乗せてくれたり、スピードボードに乗せてくれたり、
いろいろ対応して頂けたので、その部分は楽しめました。
食事のBBQは、サンドバーで実際に焼いて楽しむのかと思いましたが、
出来上がってるものを船上でビュッフェスタイルで頂くものでした。
お肉は美味しくて、骨付きのカルビは大好きな味で、
何度もおかわりしました。
ウミガメも見れませんでした。
シュノーケリングに参加した人は見れたようです。
天国の海ツアーでしたが、私が参加した日時に関して言えば、
（雨も少し降りました）そんな感じは受けず、
近くの海でも同じかなと思えたのが正直な感想です。
参加する前の期待が大きくならないように、
悪い時の事も大きく明記してくれるといいかなと思いました。

This tour is安心できる with no rocking of the boat. The best seats are on the right side facing the direction of travel. Although it is stated that the meal is a light snack, it turned out to be a buffet, so you can eat as much as you want. One drink is included, and if it's a soft drink, you can enjoy unlimited refills.

船は揺れもなく安心できるツアーです。
座る席は進行方向に向いて右側が最高です。食事も軽食とは書いてありますが
バイキングになっているので食べ放題でした。
１ドリンクは付いていますがソフトドリンクであれば飲み放題です。

I'm really glad I participated! The clarity of the ocean was amazing, and I encountered a pod of about 40 dolphins, which was so exciting!! I even got to see sea turtles and whales, it was the best experience ever! The staff really got everyone pumped up, and I was able to enjoy the whole time with maximum energy, right up to the final dance. I will definitely participate again next time!

However, we weren't blessed with completely clear weather; the sun peeked out occasionally. It was a bit chilly when we got out of the water, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit if it's cloudy (you can rent one on the day). If you tend to get seasick, make sure to get a good night's sleep the night before! There were quite a few young people who seemed to be feeling seasick.

本当に参加して良かったです！海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカ40匹くらいの群れに遭遇して大興奮！！海ガメやクジラまでも見れて最高でした(^^)スタッフの方も盛り上げてくれて、最後のダンスまでテンションMAXで過ごすことが出来ました。絶対また次回も参加します！
ただ天気は快晴には恵まれず、時より陽が出る感じだした。海から出ると少し肌寒かったので、もし曇っていたらウェットスーツ着用をオススメ（当日借りられます）。船酔いする人は前日の睡眠はきちんと取って下さいね！結構船酔いされていた若い方が多かったです(^_^;)

I was able to see the filming locations of the movie, which was a valuable experience. I had a fun day and would like to come back again.

映画の撮影場所を見ることができで、貴重な体験ができました。
１日楽しく過ごせて、また来たいと思いました。

I was fortunate to have a valuable experience. It was great to see wild dolphins right in front of me, and I enjoyed participating in the activities.

幸運にも恵まれて、貴重な体験ができました。野生のイルカを目の前で見れ、アクティビティも楽しく参加して良かったです。
