It was rainy, but I was really glad I went because I got to see sea turtles up close! The lunch was delicious, and I would like to participate again when it's sunny. The local guides were cheerful and it was fun. Thank you!

雨でしたが、ウミガメを間近で見ることが出来て本当に行って良かったです！
ランチも美味しく、また晴れた時に参加したいなと思います。
現地案内の方々も明るい方で楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

It was a wonderful sea like I had never experienced before. Even though my small child couldn't swim, they were so captivated by the beauty that they forgot their fear and just gazed at it.

今まで経験したことのない素晴らしい海でした。
小さい子供も泳げなかっったのですが、あまりの美しさに怖さも忘れて眺めていました。

On the day, it was windy and cold, and we couldn't see any dolphins. However, it was nice that the captain and the staff tried to make it enjoyable for us. It was a bit tough with small children. I would like to try again when the kids are a little older.

当日は風が強く、そして寒く、ｲﾙｶに会うことはできませんでした。
が、船長さんをはじめ、ｽﾀｯﾌのみなさんが楽しませようとしてくれているのが良かったです。
小さい子供連れにはちょっとキツかったです。
もう少し子供が大きくなったら再ﾁｬﾚﾝｼﾞしたいです。

The weather had been a bit bad since the day before, with clouds over the sea and quite high waves, but we were able to enjoy our activities as planned! From last year's experience, I knew it would be cold after getting out of the water, so I borrowed a wetsuit from the start! While snorkeling, I was able to see a large turtle resting in a coral hole! Next time, I will come back for a revenge on a sunny day. The food is delicious, and the tour is fantastic.

前日からのお天気が少し悪くて、海の上は雲がかかり、波も結構高かったのですが、無事に工程通り遊ぶことができました(^^)前年での経験で、海から上がると寒い事を知っていたので、最初からウェットスーツを借りて遊びました！スノーケルは、海の中で珊瑚の穴で休む大きなカメも見れました！次はお天気が良い日にリベンジしにきます(^｡^)お料理も美味しいし、ツアーは最高です。

Swimming with wild dolphins was amazing! We had so many dolphins come to us, and there were double rainbows and turtles. The staff were kind, and it was great to share such a wonderful moment with the captain and all the participating students. Next time, I want to join the manta tour on the Big Island!

野生のイルカと泳げるなんてサイコー‼︎でした。
イルカ先生がたくさん来てくれて、ダブルレインボーと亀さんと、スタッフの方々も優しくて、
キャプテンも一緒に参加さした生徒の皆様もサイコーな瞬間を過ごせて良かったです。
今度はハワイ島のマンタツアーに参加したいです。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 11-year-old children. I was worried if my son, who had just turned 5, would enjoy it, but with the strong encouragement from the staff and the fact that he loves water, we jumped into the sea when the dolphins appeared! I jumped in first, and my son happily followed the staff and was able to see the dolphins up close!

I thought my son might not be able to use the snorkeling mask, so I brought goggles for him to use instead. I think it's better for small children to have their own gear. My 11-year-old son is a good swimmer, but he wasn't used to fins, so he found them a bit difficult to use. Since it was mentioned that using fins is not mandatory, I think those who are not accustomed to them can skip using them.

On the day we participated, we were able to see dolphins right after leaving the port, which allowed us plenty of time for activities. The whole family enjoyed snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking together.

Since we had an early morning departure, we had breakfast early and boarded the bus, but we were allowed to eat on the bus! Of course, we took motion sickness medication beforehand. Some people felt seasick after entering the water, so be cautious. We borrowed wetsuits for the whole family, which I think are essential for the sea in November.

From start to finish, all the staff had very pleasant smiles and responses, and they communicated in Japanese, which made us feel secure participating. The photos were also wonderful. Thank you very much! ★

５歳、11歳の子供たちと家族で参加しました。
５歳になりたての息子が楽しめるか不安だったのですが、スタッフさんの心強い励ましと、もともと水が大好きということもあり、イルカが現れていざ海へ！と私が先に飛び込むと、スタッフさんと元気に飛び込んでしっかりイルカを見ることができました！
シュノーケルのマスクは使えないかな？と思い、ゴーグルを持参していたので5歳の息子はそれを使いました。小さいお子さんは自前のものがある方がいいかと思います。
11歳の息子は泳ぎが堪能ですが、フィンには慣れていなかったので使いにくいようでした。必ず使わなくてもよいとのことだったので、慣れない方は無理に使わなくてもいいかと思います。
参加した日は、港を出てすぐの場所でイルカに会うことができたため、アクティビティの時間がしっかりあり、シュノーケルもSUPもカヤックも家族みんなで楽しめました。

朝早い集合出発なので、これまた朝早くからご飯を食べてバスに乗り込んだのですが、バスの中で食事をしてもよいとのことでした！もちろん酔い止めは飲んで行きました。船もですが、海に入ってから波に酔われる方もいらしたので注意です。ウェットスーツは家族みんなで借りました。11月の海では必須だと思います。

最初から最後まで、スタッフみなさんとても気持ち良い笑顔と対応で、そして日本語で、安心して参加することができました。写真もステキでした。本当にありがとうございました★

It was a very cold day in November, but when I entered the crystal-clear sea, I was able to meet dolphins, and the coldness disappeared! Next time, I want to go to Manta University!

11月でとても寒い日でしたが、透き通った海に入るとイルカに会うことができ、寒さも吹き飛びました！
次回はマンタ大学に行きたいです！

Compared to dinner cruises I experienced in other cities, this cruise felt lacking in scenic variety as the boat stops off Waikiki. Next time, I’ll try enjoying the night view from the top of the mountain (Tantalus).

他の何か所かの都市で体験したディナークルーズに比較し、船がワイキキ沖に止まるコース
設定のため、眺めの変化に乏しいクルーズという気がした。次回は山の上（タンタラスの丘）
からの夜景観賞にトライしてみよう。

We are a family of 4 with a infant. Snorkeling was not an option but we wanted to see marine life. The boat was great, captain took the boat out gently; no turbulence, baby was happy. We got to see dolphins, turtles and schools of fish

I wasn't able to see any dolphins. I did see two sea turtles, but it was just a quick glimpse from inside the boat.

I forgot to bring motion sickness medication, but I happened to meet someone the day before who occasionally works at Dolphin University. When I mentioned this, they told me that some guides have it available, so I asked on the bus, but they said, "We don't provide it due to allergies and such." However, the person sitting behind us heard this and kindly shared their motion sickness medication with us, which was a lifesaver!!!

The boat really sways a lot, so it might be better to take motion sickness medication even just for peace of mind. I couldn't see any dolphins, the boat was rocking, and saltwater got in my eyes, which hurt for the rest of the first day.

The captain and the staff were doing their best to keep the mood up, and I was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and kayaking. I want to participate again someday for a chance to see dolphins.

イルカを見ることができませんでした。
ウミガメは2頭見ることができましたが、船内からちらっと見た感じでした。

酔い止めを忘れてしまったのですが、前日にイルカ大学でたまに働いているという方と偶然お会いして、そのことを伝えるとガイドによっては用意しているから聞いてみたらいいよ、と言われたので車内で聞いてみたところ「アレルギーなどあるので、提供していない」とのことでした。
しかし、それを聞いていた後ろの席の方が、私たちに酔い止めを分けてくださったので、助かりました！！！

船はすごく揺れますので、酔い止めは気持ち的なものでも飲んだ方が楽かもしれません。
イルカを見れず、船は揺れて、塩水が目に入ってその後1日目が痛かったです。

船長さん始めスタッフの方々はどうにか盛り上げようとしてくれていて、シュノーケリング、カヤックなどのアクティビティは楽しむことができました。
イルカを見るためにまたリベンジでいつか参加したいです。

This cruise was a fantastic way to end our holiday! The Staff were lovely and the boat was clean & comfortable. We had a great time :)

It was fun to go around the filming locations and the exploration tour was convenient as they drove us around and took photos. However, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication beforehand! It’s enjoyable, but it shakes a lot! I think watching the movie beforehand doubles the fun.

ロケ地めぐりや、探検ツアー車で回ってくれるので楽だし写真もとってくれてよかったが、探検ツアーは乗り物酔いする人は事前に薬を飲むのをオススメ！楽しいがかなり揺れます！映画見て予習してると楽しさ倍増だとおもう。

I referred to a site that tracks the tides in Kaneohe Bay with a sandbar and made a reservation for the tour. During my stay in Hawaii, there were no days when the water level would be negative, so I chose the date when the water level would be at its lowest. On the day of the tour, the water level was about 30 centimeters, as predicted by the site, and unfortunately, the sandbar did not appear. However, the experience of taking a boat out and walking in the low water was quite unique, and I really enjoyed it. There was also time for snorkeling to see corals and fish. I was able to see four sea turtles as well! The snacks provided on the boat were also very delicious. Since the sandbar is a natural phenomenon, it is affected by the schedule and weather, but I thought it was a tour that could still be enjoyed even if the sandbar did not appear.

サンドバーのあるカネオヘ湾の潮の満ち引きを調べるサイトを参考にして、ツアーを予約しました。ハワイ滞在期間中に水位がマイナスになる日程はなく、一番低くなる日にちの日程を選びました。当日の水位はサイトの予想通り30センチほどあり、残念ながら砂洲が現れることありませんでした。しかし、船に乗って沖まで行き、水位の低い海を歩く経験はなかなかできないので、非常に楽しめました。また、シュノーケリングでサンゴと魚を見る時間もあります。ウミガメも４匹見ることができました！船上で用意してくれる軽食もとても美味しいです。
サンドバーは自然現象なので、日程および天候に左右されてしまいますが、サンドバーが現れなくても楽しめるツアーになっていると思いました。

A month and a half before this trip to Hawaii, I fractured my ankle... had surgery... and was hospitalized. Would I be able to go? But with a strong desire to meet the dolphins, I started rehabilitation after receiving permission to walk just nine days before departure. I managed to walk, but could I really swim with wild dolphins??? I had those worries, so I immediately consulted with the staff who came to pick me up before 6 AM. They kindly said, "Let's go together."

Actually, this is my third time participating in this tour, and I've become quite hooked, so I really didn't want to give up and worked hard on my rehabilitation. That one sentence in the morning made all my anxieties disappear. I would get to meet the dolphin teacher... so exciting!

By the time we arrived at the port after an hour on the bus, dawn was beginning to break. This is where the real adventure begins. The captain steered the boat south... Amazing!! A whale at this time of year! The size and power were breathtaking. I think you can’t truly understand it unless you see it in person.

Next up were the dolphins. I had seen them in the past three trips, but this time, the dolphin teacher swam towards us. It felt like they were trying to heal my injured foot. I couldn’t help but think that way. My foot was in bad shape, but this encounter with the dolphin was the best.

This is a feeling you can only understand by experiencing it. Wild dolphins, not in an aquarium! Incredible. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling, canoeing, and a full menu of activities. I am truly grateful for the kindness and support of the staff. Thank you very much. This became my most memorable moment of this trip to Hawaii.

今回のハワイ旅行の１か月半前に足首骨折…手術…入院行けるの？
から始まって、でもこのイルカに会いたい一心で、出発の９日前に歩く許可が出てからのリハビリ、頑張ってなんとか歩けるようになったものの、野生のイルカと泳ぐ？？？できるのかな？
そんな不安もありーので、早朝６時前のお迎えに来てくれたスタッフに、即相談しました。
快く「私と一緒に行きましょう」と言ってくださいました。
実は私、このツアー３回目の参加ですでにハマってるんですが、だから尚更諦めたくなくて、頑張ってリハビリやってきたんです。この朝の一言で、本当に不安がどっか行ってしまいました。
イルカ先生に会えるよ…wakuwaku
バスで１時間港に到着した頃、夜が明け始めてきました。
ここからが本番です。
船長の勘で船は南へ…
すごいです!!この時期に？くじらです!
大きさ迫力…感激です。これ実際に見ないとわからないと思います。
次はイルカの出番です。過去３回とも会えたんですが、今回のイルカ先生、私たちに向かって泳いで来てくれるのです。私の足悪いの癒してくれようとしてくれているようです。って勝手に思ってしまいました。
私の足は大変でしたが、今回のイルカとの出会いは、最高でした。
これも、実際体験しないとわからない感動です。
水族館ではない野生のイルカ！すごいです。
そのあと、シュノーケル、カヌーなど、メニューめいっぱい遊びました。
スタッフの優しさ、対応、本当に感謝です。ありがとうございました。
今回のハワイ旅行の１番の思い出になりました。

Friendly Staff but not so much Animals to see :( I think on other Days it is better.

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and entered the prestigious Dolphin University!!
The atmosphere in the car was so fun, and we arrived in no time!

On the way to the dolphin point by boat, I was nervous about whether we would see them, but that day we were able to see dozens of dolphins, which was truly moving!!
The dolphins really came close to us!

Snorkeling was also great; we got to see beautiful fish and even sea turtles up close, which made us very satisfied (^ - ^)/

Having fun on the boat was also enjoyable!
I want to participate again!!

Thank you very much.

ハネムーンで初ハワイで、名門イルカ大学に入りました！！
車内から、とても楽しい雰囲気で、あっという間に到着しました！

船でイルカのポイントまで行く途中、会えるかドキドキでしたが、この日は何十匹もイルカを見ることができ感動しました！！
ホントにイルカが寄ってきてくれました！

シューノーケルも綺麗な魚達や、ウミガメも間近でみる事ができ、大満足でした(^-^)/

船の上でタンズも楽しかったです！
また、参加したいです！！

ありがとうございました。

Due to the typhoon, I was worried about the high waves and whether we could go into the sea, but it was a good decision to enter the water and see the dolphins. We also got to see the honu, and it was the best tour ever.

台風の影響で波が高く、海に入れるか心配しましたが、好判断で海に入りイルカを見ることが出来ました。ホヌも観れたし、最高のツアーでした。

The tour was great, but the weather wasn't favorable... He saw sea turtles while snorkeling! If the weather had been a little better, I would have been satisfied, but there's nothing we can do about it! Haha

I made some good memories!

ツアーは良かったが、天気が恵まれず、、、
彼はシュノーケリングで、海亀を見てましたよ！
天気さえもう少し良ければ、満足だったのですが、仕方がない事ですよね！笑

良い思い出が出来ました！

I wasn't expecting white, shallow sandy beaches at this time of year, but I was surprised to see turtles so close! (laughs) The staff were mostly Japanese and very kind, making my time enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see several turtles, which was a great experience. Thanks to that, I can now spot turtles from the 13th floor lagoon of my hotel in Waikiki! (laughs) I also learned some mini facts about Hawaii that Japanese people might not know, like the "one turtle, one lucky" saying and the fines for harming turtles, which was great. I go to Hawaii every year, and I've already decided to return next year!

時期的に白い浅い砂浜の期待はしていませんでしたが、亀がこんな近くに現れるとは！と、ビックリしました(笑)
スタッフの方は、日本人が多く、とても優しく、楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでも、亀を何匹も見ることができ、良い体験ができました。
おかげで、ワイキキのホテル13階のラグーンからも、亀を見つけることができるようになりました(笑)
1亀1ラッキーや、亀への罰金について、日本人が知らないハワイのミニ情報を教えて頂け、良かったです。
毎年ハワイに行っていますが、来年もリピ決定です！

It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.

すごく良かったです。イルカにウミガメ、すごく素敵でした。
$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。

The sandbar was of course wonderful, and snorkeling was very enjoyable! There were many tropical fish, and above all, I was able to see sea turtles up close, which I think made for a lovely Hawaiian experience. I highly recommend it!

サンドバーはもちろん、シュノーケリングがとても楽しかったです！
熱帯魚もたくさんいましたし、何よりウミガメを近くで見ることができ、ハワイらしい素敵な体験ができたと思います♪おすすめです★

We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.

新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20～30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか～りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました！ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。

Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.

Enjoyed it. Would have liked it to be a little longer but we were able to get great photos and see some sea turtles. If you are already at the Kualoa Ranch, then I recommend to do this too! Boat ride was nice and views were amazing!!! Tour guides were very informative.

The beach where you can see the fireworks is enough. It's cold, the boarding time is unnecessarily long, and the fireworks end in an instant. The food was nothing special either. That's how I felt. The only thing that remains is a sense of being overcharged. I won't ride again.

花火が見える海岸で充分です。
寒いし、乗船時間がムダに長いし、
花火は一瞬で終わるし。
料理も別に。という感じでした。
割高感だけが残りました。
二度と乗らない。

At first, I was anxious because we were meeting at the location with a rental car. However, the staff were all Japanese and very friendly, which made me feel at ease. It was great to see sea turtles up close. The food was also satisfying.

最初レンタカーで現地集合だったので不安でした。しかしスタッフも日本人でとてもフレンドリーな方ばかりで安心できました。海ガメも間近で見れて良かったです。料理も満足のいくものでした。

At first, we couldn't find them, and I was worried we might not see any dolphins. However, once we confirmed the presence of a pod, it was amazing to encounter so many dolphins. They swam alongside the boat and even jumped out of the water, which was just fantastic.

最初見つからず、ダメなのか的からのイルカの群れの確認連絡、そして沢山のイルカ達に出逢い船に上がってからの並走をしてくれたり、飛んでくれたり最高でした。

In the morning, it was raining, and I felt very disappointed, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped and the sun came out! The sandbar had water up to my waist and chest, and I thought it might have been better to check the tide before booking. However, during the snorkeling afterward, it quickly became deep from the sandbar, and I was moved to see corals, fish, and turtles! I booked the package with breakfast, and it was very delicious. The instructors were fun yet efficient. Thank you for the valuable experience!

朝は雨が降っており、とても残念に思っていましたが、船に乗る頃は雨も止み日も出てきました！
サンドバーは水が腰から胸のあたりまであり、潮の満ち引きを調べて申し込んだ方が良かったかなとは思いました。
でも、そのあとのシュノーケリングではサンドバーから一気に深くなりサンゴや魚たちや亀も見れて感動しまた！
朝食付きで申し込みましたが、とても美味しくて良かったです。
インストラクターの方々も楽しいながらもキビキビとしていました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございます！

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.

As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).

**Message from the tour company:**

There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.

I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.

I hope for improvements!

ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった！
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは？

ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ（ポロシャツ可）、長ズボン（ジーンズ可）、靴（スニーカー可）くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。


※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※

コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど？？
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。

最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。

改善を期待します！

It was bad timing with President Trump's visit, but everything proceeded on schedule without any issues. The night view and fireworks were great, but the buffet on the ship was somewhat disappointing in taste. Most of the main meal was on the sweeter side, which was disappointing; the only thing that was really good was the lobster. I was satisfied with the fruits and vegetables. I was able to see the fireworks from a good spot on the deck, so I was happy with that, although the duration was short.

トランプ大統領の来島とのバッドタイミングでしたが、無事に定刻どおり進みました。夜景と花火は、良かったのですが、船内のバイキングは、いまいちの味でした。メインミールの味付けが殆ど甘めで、ガッカリでした、唯一美味しかったのは、ロブスターくらいかな〜
フルーツと、野菜等は満足はしました。
花火は、デッキの良い場所から見れましたので、満足でした。ただ、時間は短かったです。
