It was fully booked since I made a reservation for Friday night. I was worried if it would be too crowded. The sunset was hidden due to the clouds, but I was able to see the fireworks from the Hilton clearly.

The deck railing side was filled with people who boarded earlier, so I had to view from between them while sitting. The buffet tables are first-come, first-served, so if you board late, you won't get a good seat with a nice view. Since there is time until the fireworks, it might be a good idea to think about how to spend your time. The welcome drink was too sweet, and the alcoholic cocktails were just okay. Each person gets one lobster, so be careful not to overeat. It's a pretty standard buffet.

金曜日の夜に予約したので満席でした。こんなに乗れるのかな？と心配に。曇りでサンセットは隠れていて見られませんでしたが、ヒルトンの花火はしっかり見られました。
デッキの手すり側は先に乗船出来た人達で埋まっており、座ってだと人の隙間から見る感じ。
ビュッフェのテーブルは自由席で、遅く乗船になると眺めのいい席は座れないです。花火までは時間があるので、過ごし方を検討してみるといいかもしれません。ウェルカムドリンクは甘過ぎ、アルコールカクテルもちょっと・・・。ロブスターも一人ひとつ出るので食べ過ぎ注意。無難なビュッフェかと。

I'm a repeat visitor. It's wild, so it's understandable, but this time I saw the least number of dolphins. They were far away and didn't come close. It's disappointing.
Due to the waves, I couldn't experience stand-up paddleboarding either.
It seems they made the boat larger, and it was two stories. I feel like the number of people on board hasn't changed, but going up and down is a bit of a hassle. Also, unfortunately, on this day, I couldn't use the restroom on the boat. I've never used it before, but when they say it's unavailable, it makes me anxious. I wonder if it will take a few days to fix... that's tough.
The photographer was really enthusiastic and made it a lot of fun.

リピーターです。野生なので仕方ないのですが、今回が一番イルカを見ることができませんでした。遠くにはいるのに、近くに来てくれない。ざんねんです。
波があるため、スタンダップパドルボートも体験できず。
船を大きくしたようで、2階建てでした。乗ってる人数は変わらない気がするのですが…あがったり降りたりがちょっと面倒です。またこの日は運悪く船内のトイレも使えず。今までも利用したことはないのですが、ないといわれると不安。直すのに数日かかるのでしょうか…大変ですね。
カメラマンの人がとても盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。

I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles while traveling by boat. I've seen sea turtles on the beach before, but it was my first time seeing them swimming gracefully in the ocean. I also had an early encounter with dolphins and experienced how they gather in such large numbers.

The staff was energetic and worked hard to boost the participants' spirits from early in the morning, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. It felt great to see the effort put into making the entire tour enjoyable, not just focusing on the main purpose of seeing dolphins, but also ensuring a pleasant experience from the bus ride to the end of the tour.

I want to go again! I'm also curious about the manta ray tour. Maybe next year?

運が良かったのか、船で移動中にウミガメ４頭に遭遇できました。
浜にいるウミガメは見たことありますが、悠々と海を泳いでいるウミガメを見たのは初めてでした。
イルカ達にも早々と遭遇でき、こんなにたくさんの数で群れを成すのだと体感できました
また、スタッフの方達も早朝から参加者のテンションをあげるよう、元気に盛り上げて頂けてツアー全体が楽しい雰囲気で実行できました。
これは、イルカという主目的だけでなく、ツアーバスの乗車から終わりまでのツア－全体の運営を気持ちよくしようという努力が感じられ、気持ちよかったです。
また行きたい！！　マンタツアーも気になりますね。また来年かな？

I thought I could have malasadas for breakfast, so I skipped breakfast, but I couldn't eat anything until lunch. What happened to the malasada photos from the past? I got to see dolphins, but since I jumped in with a five-year-old, it was quite exhausting to swim towards the dolphins. I couldn't keep up with the group at all and was struggling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see them while swimming. As a result, I ran out of energy to enjoy the marine activities, and the wait for the other participants' marine activities was long, which made me feel seasick halfway through, and it was quite tough. It seemed there were a few people who also got seasick. In the midst of all this, I was happy that the Japanese female staff member took great care of us.

朝マラサダが食べられると思い、朝ごはん抜きで来てしまったが、昼まで何も食べられなかった。過去のマラサダの写真は何だったのか？イルカには会えたが、私は５歳児と一緒に飛び込んだので、泳いでいるイルカの方に行くのはかなり体力消耗。集団に全然追いつけなくて必死だった。残念ながら泳ぎながら見ることは叶わなかった。なので、マリンアクティビティを楽しむ体力がなくなってしまい、他の参加者のマリンアクティビティ待ちが長くて、途中から船酔いしてしまい、かなりきつかった。船酔い組は何人かいたよう。そんななかで、日本人女子スタッフさんは甲斐甲斐しくお世話してくれて嬉しかったです。

I participated with my elementary and high school sons as a family. Shortly after boarding the boat, we were told that dolphins were nearby. We tried twice and were able to see many dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin in the pod, which was adorable. Later, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling where we saw sea turtles and various fish, and the kids were very excited. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was very delicious. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.

小学生と高校生の息子達を連れて家族で参加しました。船に乗って間も無くイルカが近くにいるとの事。2回トライしてたくさんのイルカを見る事が出来ました。群れの中に赤ちゃんイルカもいて可愛いかったです。その後場所を変えてのシュノーケルではウミガメやお魚たちも見られたし、子供達も大興奮でした。船の上で食べたチーズバーガーがとても美味しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。

The ocean and sandbar were great, but the guide was very friendly, kind, appropriate, and fun, making me feel glad to have participated in this tour. I think it would have been nice to have a waterproof camera, but I understand that any water damage would be my own responsibility.

海やサンドバーも良かったですが、ガイドさんがとてもフレンドリーで親切で適切で楽しくて、このツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。持ち物に、防水カメラただし水没は自己責任で、とあればなと思いました。

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the boat was very beautiful. As the boat moved, the shape of Diamond Head changed, allowing us to see various perspectives of it. There were only about 15 participants that day, so we were able to relax comfortably. It was the best experience to enjoy sparkling wine while feeling the pleasant sea breeze!

船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチがとてもきれいでした。
船の進行によってダイヤモンドヘッドの形が変わり、いろいろなダイヤモンドヘッドを見られました。
その日の参加者が15名程度で少なかったのでゆったりとくつろげました。
気持ち良い海風を受けながらスパークリングワインが飲めて最高でした！！

We were blessed with beautiful weather and had the chance to see many dolphins. We were also very satisfied to see a sea turtle right in front of us. I participated with my two elementary school children, and the staff were kind and made it enjoyable for us.

晴天に恵まれて、たくさんのイルカと出会えました。また、すぐ目の前でウミガメも見られて大変満足しました。小学生の子供2人と一緒に参加しましたが、スタッフさんも優しく接してくれて楽しんだようでした。

I made a reservation in advance in Japan to stay at the Kahala Hotel. I am overwhelmed with joy that my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins has come true. It was a genuine interaction, not just the typical experience of touching dolphins that you often find in Japan. We participated as a couple, but it seemed that families in the same group were also enjoying themselves.

If I had to mention a downside, I was a bit concerned about the water's cleanliness. It might be due to the dolphins' waste, which is understandable... Since it's not a fish tank, it might be difficult to purify the lagoon. Also, I feel that the price is a bit too high.

I definitely recommend it to anyone staying at the Kahala.

カハラホテルに宿泊の為、事前に日本で予約しました。
長年夢見てきたドルフィンスイムが叶い感無量です。
日本国内でよくあるイルカに触れる程度ではない本当の触れ合いが楽しめました。
我々はカップルでの参加でしたが、同じグループの親子も楽しんで居られた様です。
あえてマイナスポイントを書くとしたら、
水の汚れがやや気になりました。イルカの排泄物だから仕方ないかもしれませんが・・・
生け簀ではないラグーンなので浄化が難しいのかな？
あと、少し料金が高すぎな気もします。

カハラにお泊りの方には絶対おすすめだと思います。

We participated as a family!

We decided on the day whether to rent wetsuits. (I think it was around $10 for the kids...)

I was told that there might be jellyfish and it could get cold, so we rented wetsuits only for the kids.

Most of the other customers rented wetsuits as well.

In August, I, as an adult, was fine with just a swimsuit and was okay being bare-chested.

As soon as we spotted dolphins in the wild, we jumped off the boat one by one!

However...

During our last jump, all we could see underwater were the feet and bubbles of the participants who jumped in before us.

Those who jumped in earlier seemed to see something in the water, but...

With limited time, we only had two chances to see the dolphins.

Both times, we caught a glimpse of the dolphins from the boat, but we couldn't see them at all underwater.

The staff cheerfully said something like, "We got to be with the dolphins today!"

But we couldn't see them underwater.

The image of swimming with dolphins is only partially true, so don't get your hopes up.

However, we were excited to see sea turtles up close in the water.

For those whose main goal is to see dolphins, since we are going to see wild dolphins, we can't guarantee you'll see them underwater, but the sea is beautiful, so it's fun!

Crew amazing. Sailing was an awesome time. Appetizers too! Who could possibly complain!

This time, it may have been a coincidence, but the guide was a Japanese resident of Hawaii or someone of mixed Japanese heritage, so communication in Japanese was naturally easy. I felt very comfortable enjoying the experience with information and casual conversations unique to living in Hawaii. Since all the staff were mothers, it was also reassuring for those with children, and there were many pleasant moments thanks to their thoughtful care. I definitely want to go again, perhaps during low tide. I look forward to it!

今回はたまたま、かも知れませんがガイドさんが
みんなハワイ在住の日本人または日本人とのハーフの方たちで、日本語は当然通じるし、ハワイ在住ならではの情報や世間話しなど、とても安心して楽しめました。全スタッフさんがママさんだったので、
子供連れでも安心で、ママさんならではの気遣いなど、うれしい場面が多かったですね。
ぜひまた、干潮の時にでも、行きたいと思いました。その際はよろしくお願いします。

I was able to properly meet the dolphins. The guide was very powerful and led us right to where the dolphins were. My daughter participated as well and managed to keep up. It’s quite hard, so I think it would be tough if you don’t get a good night's sleep the night before.

イルカにきちんと会えました。
ガイドさんがとってもパワフルで、しっかりイルカのいるところへ導いてくれました。
娘も参加して、なんとかついていけました。
結構ハードなので、前日しっかり睡眠とらないと大変だと思います。

After two years, we returned to Hawaii, and since it was my wife's birthday, we booked a dinner cruise. I requested a surprise cake, and with the help of the onboard staff, we were able to have a wonderful birthday party with the kids. Thank you very much.

2年ぶりのハワイ、ちょうど妻の誕生日だったので久しぶりにディナークルーズを申し込みました。サプライズでケーキをお願いし、乗船スタッフのご協力もあり、子供達と素晴らしい誕生日パーティが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

My stay at the Kahala Hotel was an early start with a 5 AM pickup, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful memory. The guide, Takao, provided a very clear and persuasive tour, which added a great "flavor" to the experience. As a snorkeling beginner in my fifties, I initially struggled to keep up with everyone in search of dolphins, but the support from the staff was very reassuring. Eventually, I got the hang of it and was able to meet the dolphins and sea turtles, which felt amazing. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this tour.

カハラホテル滞在であり、5時ピックアップと早起きでしたが、大変素晴らしい思い出となりました。ガイドのＴＡＫＡＯさんの大変わかりやすく説得力のあるガイドもツアーのよき「味付け」となっていました。シュノーケリング初心者のアラフィフであり、最初はなかなか慣れずにイルカを求めてあっちこっちに皆さんについていくのが大変でしたが、スタッフのサポートもあり、大変心強かったです。そのうちに慣れてきてイルカさんやウミガメさんにも無事合えて、大変気持ちよかったです。またハワイに行けたら、必ず参加したいと思います。

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.

What an amazing pod of dolphins swimming beneath us! They are quite fast, but on this day, there were so many dolphins (^ -^) v It was truly moving ٩(^‿^)۶ Thanks to the captain's arrangements, we were able to see them again. This time, there was a baby dolphin! The baby was so excited and showed us lots of spins. Additionally, we were treated to the captain's ukulele and singing, which we rarely get to hear. It was so moving that I almost cried *\(^o^)/* Thank you to all the crew members *\(^o^)/*

すご〜いイルカの群れです私達の下を泳いでいきまーす。けっこう、速いけどこの日はイルカの数がたくさーん(^-^)v感動です٩(^‿^)۶キャプテンのはからいで、再び群の前に。今度は赤ちゃんがいました〜〜(^^)赤ちゃんは興奮してたくさんスピンを私達に見せてくれました。さらに、滅多に聞けないキャプテンのウクレレと歌。涙が出そうなくらいの感動です*\(^o^)/*クルーの皆さんありがとう*\(^o^)/*

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.

料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。
海側からワイキキを見るのはとても贅沢でゆっくりとすごせました。
前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
そんな景色もいいですね。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great. From the bus ride, the staff provided detailed explanations about life jackets and safety points for the sea, which gave us a sense of security. As soon as we arrived at the port, we boarded a two-story boat. It had a restroom and was a splendid vessel. The fins and equipment were relatively new and clean. The captain took us to the right spot, and with the encouragement of the staff, we jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away in the distance, but on the second try, we encountered a wonderful pod and swam so close to the dolphins that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, losing track of time in the moment. We also danced hula together and during snorkeling time, we even saw turtles. It was a day of great satisfaction.

家族4人で参加しました。お天気は良好。行きのバスからスタッフの方が、ライフジャケットや海での注意点を細かく説明して下さり、安心感がありました。港に着いてすぐに2階建てのボートに乗りました。トイレもあり、立派な船でした。フィンや道具は新しめで綺麗でした。船長さんがここというポイントに連れて行って下さり、スタッフの方々の掛け声で海に飛び込みます。初めの一回は残念ながらイルカは遠くに泳いで行ってしまいましたが、2回目にすばらしい群れに会えて、イルカと手が届きそうな近さで泳ぎ時間を忘れるひと時でした。
フラダンスをみんなで踊ったり、シュノーケリングタイムには亀にも会えました。大満足の一日でした。

On the cruise, I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles swimming. Since my child is small, we couldn't use the stroller, but I would definitely like to visit again when they are old enough to ride.

クルージングでは、マンタやウミガメが泳いでいるのを
見ることができました。
子供が小さいのでバギーには乗れませんでしたので、乗れるような歳になれば
またぜひ遊びに行きたいです。

I was worried if it would be okay since the kids are small, but the staff were all kind, and it seems the kids enjoyed themselves. It was also great that we could experience snorkeling and sea kayaking at spots where we could see not only dolphins but also fish and turtles. Everyone in my family saw the dolphins except for me σ(^_^;) I saw a lot of dorsal fins from a large group of dolphins σ(^_^;)

子供達が小さいので大丈夫かなぁ〜、、と心配でしたがスタッフの皆さんも親切で子供達も楽しめた様です。イルカを見るだけでなく魚や亀が見えるスポットでもシュノーケリングやシーカヤックなどの体験が出来たのもとても良かったです。 イルカは私以外の家族は全員見ましたσ(^_^;) 私はイルカの大群の背ビレを沢山見ましたσ(^_^;)

The weather was nice and the view was beautiful. I think it would be best to go according to the tides. The staff can speak Japanese, so it was reassuring. I was glad that I could see a sea turtle. I felt a bit embarrassed being the only one participating among couples.

天気よく綺麗に見えました。潮の満ち引きに合わせていけるとベストだと思います。スタッフの方も日本語が話せるので安心です。ウミガメも見ることが出来たので良かったです。カップルばかりの中に一人参加だったので少し恥ずかしかったです。

7.5 billion people and I spent it my two favorite, my wife and daughter. Thanks for being part of our memories!

There are some things that can't be helped since it's nature, but I was able to encounter dolphins, although I only saw their dorsal fins. I couldn't see them swimming around in the water. I got my hopes up because the experience photos showed Masala donuts. We departed early in the morning without having time for a satisfying meal before boarding. There were no drinks or snacks during the ride, and we finally got a light meal around 11 o'clock, which included hamburgers, drinks, and snacks. Maybe I was expecting too much from the dolphins and the food.

自然が相手なので仕方ないところもあるけど、イルカと遭遇出来たけど、イルカの背びれは見えただけ。海の中を泳ぎ回るところまでは見ることが出来なかった。体験談の写真ではマサラダドーナツが映ったりしていたので期待しちゃいました。早朝出発で満足な食事をとる時間もないままに乗船。
乗船中のドリンクやスナックはなく、11時頃の軽食でやっとハンバーガーとドリンク、スナックが出された。イルカやフードに期待しすぎちゃったかな。

It seems we went during high tide, so there was no sandy beach. The area was constantly submerged in water. Also, the guide was quite persistent about the possibility of seasickness. There was an overwhelming aura of wanting to sell good stops (laughs). The weather was nice, and the scenery was amazing! We even got to see sea turtles.

満潮時に行ってしまったらしく、砂浜がない状態だった。常に海に浸かっている。あと、ガイドの船酔いを煽る案内がしつこかった。よい止めを売りたいオーラが半端なかった(笑)
天気も良かったこともあり、景色は最高！
海亀にも会えました。

The food was poor. There were too few dishes, and despite taking too long from departure to the fireworks, the duration of the fireworks was too short.

食べ物がお粗末
料理の品数が少ないし、出港から花火迄の時間がかかりすぎのわりに花火の時間が少なすぎる

Due to the tides, the water level was around waist height instead of shallow. However, the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see turtles several times, which was a lot of fun. The staff provided solid support, making it a safe activity to participate in. A waterproof camera is essential.

潮の関係で浅瀬にはならず腰位置くらいでした。ただ海は非常にきれいで、カメも何度か見ることができ、非常に楽しめました。スタッフの方のサポートもしっかりしていて、安心して参加できるアクティビティでした。防水カメラは必須です。

The sunset from off Diamond Head was absolutely beautiful. On the dinner cruise, I was fortunate enough to win a commemorative lobster, but the view of the Hawaiian sunset while cruising was simply elegant.

ダイヤモンドヘッド沖からのサンセットは最高に美しかった。ディナークルーズでは記念のロブスターが当たると言う幸運にも恵まれましたが、とにかくハワイの夕日をクルーズしながら見る景色は優美です。

Initially, I was considering a tour that offered Japanese language support, but since it combined horseback riding and ATV experiences, it would have resulted in two separate package tours. Therefore, I opted for this tour, which allows for three package options. Although the tour was in English, the staff who picked us up were bilingual in English and Japanese. We selected our desired package tour on the bus, and by choosing Japanese as the language, we were able to incorporate it into the Japanese tour on-site.

After completing the three attractions and lunch, it was soon time to head back, so I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't spend more time enjoying the location.

当初日本語対応のツアーにしようかと悩みましたが、乗馬や4輪バギーと組み合わせになり、パッケージツアーが2つになってしまうため、パッケージツアーが3つ選べるこちらのツアーにしました。言語が英語ツアーでしたが、迎えに来ていただいたスタッフの方は、英語日本語共に話すことのできる方でしたし、希望するパッケージツアーをバスの中で選ぶのですが、言語を日本語に選択することで、現地では日本語ツアーに組み込んでいただけました。
3つのアトラクション・ランチを終えると、すぐに帰りのバスの時間になり、あまり現地でゆっくりするという事ができなかったので、少し残念でした。

It was a very good experience. The sea was crystal clear, truly a heavenly ocean. I was able to see sea turtles and colorful fish as well.

とても良い経験になりました。どこまでも透き通った海。正に天国の海でした。ウミガメや色鮮やかなサカナも見れました。
