I wasn't very lucky, so I thought there was a 1 in 10 chance that I might not see any dolphins...!

However, about 20 minutes after boarding the boat, I saw a whale diving into the sea, its tail clearly visible! After that, I also spotted a mother and baby whale swimming in another area.

Seeing so many whales was quite lucky, and just as I was thinking that, I discovered dolphins! After getting my gear ready and jumping into the water, dozens of dolphins swam right in front of me! The water was murky that day, so I couldn't see them from below, but they passed by in groups multiple times, which made me very satisfied☆

Next time I come, I hope the water is clear enough to see the dolphins underwater!

あまり運が良い方ではないので、もしかしたらイルカに会えない1/10の確率を引いてしまうかも…！と思っていました。

ですが船に乗って20分すぎた頃、クジラが海に潜っていくのがしっぽまでバッチリ見えました！その後は別の場所でクジラの親子が泳いでいるのも見えました。

クジラをこんなに見られるのはかなりラッキーという事で、幸先良いな〜と思っていた所、イルカ発見！
装備を揃え海に飛び込むと、数十頭のイルカちゃんが目の前を泳いで行きました！
水が濁っている日だったので海中からは見えませんでしたが、その分何度も何度も近くを群れで通り過ぎてくれたので、大満足でした☆

次来る時は、水が澄んでいてイルカを水中から見られるといいなあ！

I was relieved to see that there were Japanese cast members and all the tour participants were Japanese! I misunderstood the windbreaker listed in the items as a raincoat and didn't bring it, later regretting that it would have been good as a layer to keep warm. However, the weather was nice and warm, so I was able to withstand the wind on the boat! The dolphins came by 2 or 3 times, and I was able to swim with them♡ I wanted to go see them again after the break.

日本人キャストさんがいてツアー参加者も全て日本人で安心しました！持ち物に書いてあるウインドブレーカーは雨よけと勘違いして持っていかなかったら寒さ防止の羽織りでよかったのを後から知って持っていかなかったことに後悔しましたが天気もよく暖かかったので船風には耐えられました！イルカは2.3度来てくれて一緒に泳げました♡休憩したあともう一度会いに行きたかったです。

This was my second time participating. Last time I was pregnant, but this time I brought the child who was in my belly back then. I was a bit anxious about bringing my one-and-a-half-year-old, but they kindly lent us baby wetsuits and blankets on the boat for warmth, and everyone was very friendly, allowing us to enjoy as a family.

I walked to the sandbar holding my child. It was a manageable distance to carry them. Bringing a swim ring was a good idea; when I got tired of holding them, I let them float in it (laughs). We were able to see sea turtles up close, and my child was delighted. I was so happy when our family of three arrived at the sandbar.

Once we got out of the water, it was cold, so having a bath towel and a diaper change was essential. However, the bus back after getting off the boat was warm, making it comfortable enough for a deep sleep... it was so much fun!

今回が2回目の参加です。前回は妊娠中でしたが、今回はその時お腹にいた子供を連れて^ ^
1歳半の子供連れということで少し不安もありましたが、寒さ対策に船上でベビー用のウェットスーツや毛布を貸してくれたり、みなさん親切にしてくださって家族で楽しめました。
船からサンドバーまでは子供を抱いて歩きました。
抱っこしても無理のない距離です。スイマーバ持参で正解、抱っこ疲れたら浮かべてました（笑）
すぐそばで海ガメに会えて子供も喜んでました^ ^
家族3人でサンドバー到着したときは嬉しかったです^ ^

海から上がったら寒いのでバスタオルやオムツの替は必須です。ですが船を降りてからの帰りのバスは暖かくしてくれるので気持ちよくて爆睡…楽しかったです！

I was really looking forward to this snorkeling tour! My boyfriend and I participated in this tour to fulfill his dream of swimming with dolphins in Hawaii!

It was truly moving to see a large group of wild dolphins right below us, swimming and jumping around. The tour guides were reliable, and we had a wonderful and exciting time!

楽しみにしていた、このシュノーケリングツアー！！彼氏が、ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたいという夢を叶えるために、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！
本当に野生のイルカの大群が真下にいて、泳いでる姿やジャンプしている姿を見れる事ができ
非常に感動しました！
ツアーの方々も頼もしく、とても素敵でワクワクした時間を過ごす事ができました！

Last day of my stay in Hawaii. Since it was my last chance, I decided to try something I had never done before! I was a bit hesitant about participating alone, but all the staff were very kind and took great care of us! I was able to encounter a lot of dolphins fairly quickly, and I enjoyed watching the turtles swimming happily. The water was so clear and beautiful! I felt that each participant was being arranged to create wonderful memories. Thank you, everyone at Dolphin University!

ハワイ滞在最終日。せっかくだから、やったことのない経験をしてみよう！と申し込みました。
ひとりでの参加で気後れするかな・・・と思いましたが、スタッフの方達みなさん親切で、
しっかりケアしていただきました！イルカ先生にも割とすぐにたくさん遭遇できて、カメ大教授
も気持ち良さそうに泳いでいるところを眺められたし、魚には手が届きそうなくらいでした。
とにかく海が澄んでいて、とてもきれいでした！参加者一人一人が良い思い出を作れるようにアレンジしてくれてると感じました。ありがとー！イルカ大学の皆さん！

I was surprisingly able to meet wild dolphins very easily. The dolphins were resting, so we could swim closely with them during the group snorkeling! The guide's enthusiasm was also amazing.

びっくりするぐらい簡単に野生のイルカに会えました。イルカさんはお休み中なので集団シュノーケリングで間近で一緒に泳げる！
ガイドさんの熱がまたサイコーですよ。

I participated in a prestigious university dolphin tour in late February! The weather was great, and the sea was a beautiful deep blue! I joined the tour on the second boat! The weather was nice, but it was definitely the right choice to go with the second boat since it was warmer! Most people rented wetsuits because the wind was strong, and I think having one is reassuring! I'm really glad I participated in the tour! We were able to see whales right from the start! Then, we immediately swam with a large group of dolphins! They were so cute and it was truly moving! After that, we encountered many turtles and there seemed to be seals as well! We had fun kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and time flew by! I was worried about getting seasick, but the boat was stable! There were also small children participating, and they seemed to be having a great time! Above all, our guide, Juri, had such a bright personality and her talk was really enjoyable! The photographer was also a very interesting person! They took a lot of beautiful photos for us! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

2月の後半に名門大学イルカツアーに参加してきました！お天気も良く海もとっても濃いブルーでとっても綺麗でした！2便でのツアーで参加しました！天気は良かったですが、2便の方が暖かくて正解でした！風が強かったのでほとんどの人がウエットスーツをレンタルしていました！あった方が安心だと思います！ツアーは本当に参加して良かったです！出発からすぐにクジラを見る事ができました！そして、すぐにイルカの大群と泳げました！本当に可愛くて感動しました！そのあと沢山の亀にも遭遇したり、アザラシもいたようです！カヌーやスタンドアップパドルボートをしたり、楽しくてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました！船も酔わないか心配でしたが、安定した船でした！小さい子供も参加されてましたが、楽しそうでした！そして、なによりガイドのじゅりさん、とても明るい性格とトークが、とっても楽しかったです！カメラマンさんもとても、おもしろい方でした！綺麗な写真を沢山撮っていただきました！また、機会があったら参加したいです！

When we arrived at the sandbar, we only played in the sea, so it might be cold. However, they lend you wetsuits for free! I had a lot more fun wearing one. All the staff were really entertaining; they helped us ride the surfboards and kept us engaged with stories. The water level was a bit high, so we couldn't see the beach, but it was still beautiful.

During my visit, the wind was strong, and snorkeling was canceled, but instead, they showed us a lot of turtles. It was so exciting! Even if you can't do one activity, they will definitely make sure you have fun, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

サンドバーに到着すると海で遊ぶのみなので、寒いかもしれないです。でもウェットスーツを無料で貸してくれます！借りたほうが思いっきり楽しめました。スタッフの方は全員すごく面白くて、サーフボードに乗せてくれたりお話しで楽しませてくれたりします。少し海面が高かったのか砂浜は見られませんでしたが十分綺麗でした。
私の回は風が強くシュノーケリングがなくなりましたが、その代わりたくさんのカメを見せてくれました。大興奮でした。何か１つできなくても必ず楽しませてくれるので安心して参加できると思います。

I couldn't find any areas of dissatisfaction; I think it's a very good tour. They speak Japanese, and both the pickup bus and the crew are easy to talk to. They also respond kindly to seasickness. However, the prices for motion sickness medication and GoPro rentals are a bit high (not compared to other companies).

不満な部分が見当たらず、非常に良いツアーだと思います。日本語は通じるし、迎えのバス、船員さん共に話しやすいです。船酔いにも優しく対応してくれます。ただ、酔い止め薬や、ゴープロの貸し出し値段はちょっと高いかな(他社との比較ではない)

It was a very enjoyable tour. I wanted to swim even more, but swimming with the dolphins was a wonderful memory. Dancing hula on the water was also fun. Thank you!

とっても楽しいツアーでした。
もっともっと泳いでいたかったですが、イルカと一緒に泳げたことは素晴らしい思い出です。
海の上でフラを踊ったこともまた楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

We participated as a couple.
During the 3.5-hour tour, we saw 8 humpback whales, 20-30 dolphins, and 3 sea turtles.
Overall, it was a good experience, but I was disappointed with the Japanese guide's attitude.
It felt like there was a sharpness in their words, and I got the impression of being talked down to, which made me uncomfortable. It seemed like this shop only viewed dolphins as a business tool.
We were told to decide on the wetsuits before getting on the boat, and the photos were $60.
Later, we joined a tour at another shop where they kindly offered 400 photos as a gift and said we could ask for a wetsuit anytime if we needed one.

夫婦で参加しました。
3.5Hのツアーでザトウクジラ8頭、イルカ20-30匹、ウミガメ3匹観れました。
結果オーライでしたが日本人のガイドさんの対応には残念でした。
言い方に棘があると言うか、上から言われてる感が半端なくあり気分はよくありませんでした。どうもこちらのお店はイルカを商売道具としか思ってないような気がしました。
ウエットスーツもボート乗るまでに決めろ、写真は60ドル。
この後、他店でツアーに参加しましたが写真400枚プレゼント、ウエットスーツも必要であればいつでも言ってください。と親切な対応でした。

My first sandbar experience.
I researched the low tide periods in Japan and went during that time.
I think the conditions were really good.
It's amazing that such a shallow area can form offshore; it's something that wouldn't happen artificially, and nature is incredible.
It was great to be able to experience snorkeling so close by.
I was also able to take some nice photos that I can use for next year's New Year's card.

初めてのサンドバー。
日本で干潮の時期を調べて行きました。
すごく条件が良かった方だと思います。
沖合いにこんな浅瀬が出来るなんて　人工ではまず出来ないし自然は凄い。
シュノーケルもすぐ近くで体験出来良かったですね。
来年の年賀状にのせられる様な良い写真も撮れました。

We participated as a three-generation family. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and I felt like I could have looked at it all day, making it hard to leave. We were also able to see many sea turtles, which made the children very happy. However, since we participated in February, it was colder than expected, and the water was chilly, so we gave up on snorkeling. Even so, it was truly a tour that I’m glad we participated in.

家族3世代で参加しました。
サンドバーは本当に綺麗で1日中見ていたい気分になり、
帰るのが惜しかったです。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、子供たちも大喜びでした。
ただ、参加時期が2月だったので思ったよりも寒く、水が冷たかったので、
シュノーケリングは諦めましたが、それを差し引いても本当に参加して良かったと
思えるツアーでした。

Clear skies! The ocean is so beautiful!
I was worried about whether I would see a sea turtle, but I did!
Everyone on the tour was friendly and really fun!
My husband participated in snorkeling, and since I can't swim, I didn't join, but during that time, they took care of those who couldn't participate by taking us on a cruise, which was really enjoyable!
When a sea turtle came close to the boat, we could freely get off the boat to see it, and other participants took pictures for us, making it a very fun time!
The BBQ lunch was also very delicious!
They talked with us until the end, and it went by in a flash!

快晴！海もとっても綺麗！
海ガメと会えるか心配でしたが、会えました(^^)
ツアーの皆さん、気さくでとっても楽しい方でした！
旦那さんはシュノーケリングに参加し、私は泳げないので参加しませんでしたが、その間、参加出来なかった人達をクルージングに連れてってくれたりと気遣ってくれて、とっても楽しかったです(^^)
海ガメが船に近付いてくると船から自由に降りて見に行けたり、他の参加者さんが写真を撮ってくれたりと、とても楽しい時間でした！
BBQランチもとても美味しかったです！
最後まで色々な話をしてくれて、あっという間でした(^^)

We participated as a group of four students!
It was very moving to swim so close to the dolphins. The sea turtles were great too.
The instructors were very cheerful, making it the best memory ever.

学生4人で参加しました！
イルカととても近くで泳ぐことができとても感動しました。ウミガメもよかったです
インストラクターの方たちもとても陽気で最高の思い出になりました。

The weather was unfortunate.
For women, wearing a bright bikini really stands out in photos. You can take beautiful pictures.
However, during snorkeling, it felt stricter than other tours, as we had to line up and those who struggled with swimming or using the mask were scolded. The visibility wasn't very good either. It's better than in Japan, though...
There were many Japanese people, and since the guide was also Japanese, it felt quite cramped, lacking the sense of openness you might expect abroad. We set sail from Niso, and the other group seemed to have more fun, possibly because they had a foreign guide. It might also depend on luck.

天気が悪く残念でした。
女性の方は明るいビキニにすると写真映えはすごいです。綺麗に撮れますよ。
しかしシュノーケルは列になって進んだり、泳ぎが苦手な方や上手くマスクが使えない方が参加してしまうと怒られていたり、他のツアーよりも厳しい気がしました。透明度もあまりよくありません。日本よりはいいですが…。
日本人が多く、ガイドも日本人だったので、割とキチキチしていて海外の開放感は望めません。二曹で出航し、もう一つの方は外国人ガイドもいたからか、楽しそうでした。運もあるかもしれませんね。

I joined expecting the first image to match reality, but it was somewhat different when I actually went (I think January played a role in this). I had assumed there would be a sandy beach, but there wasn't. We first took a walk to the shallow area after getting off the boat. At that point, the water level was up to my backside. Although the weather was good due to it being the rainy season in January, it was still quite cold. I went in wearing a swimsuit, but I couldn't really immerse myself in the water. After the walk, we returned to the boat, but it was so cold that I had to wrap myself in a bath towel. After that, we had lunch, which was quite tasty. Then we went snorkeling. However, there was an announcement that those who couldn't swim should not participate, and since I couldn't swim, I stayed behind. But there were plenty of items to play with, like inflatable rings, bodyboards, and stand-up paddleboards, so I borrowed those and played in the shallow area. I think even those who aren't good at swimming can have a fulfilling experience. However, it was still cold. Everyone returning from snorkeling was shivering from the cold. I recommend participating during a warmer time of year. The guide was Japanese and easy to understand.

１枚目のイメージ写真を期待して参加したのですが実際行ってみて若干違うな。。と思いました（１月ってのも関係あると思います）てっきり砂浜があると思っていましたがなく、まず船から降りて浅い方まで散歩。降りた時点ではお尻あたりまで水位はありました。１月雨季とあって天気は良かったのですが、普通に寒いです。水着で入りましたがとても体をつけることはできませんでした。散歩終わって船に戻りますがバスタオルをかぶってないといけないほど寒かったです。そのあとははランチ。普通に美味しかったです。そのあとはシュノーケリングへ。ただし泳げない人は参加しない方が良いとのアナウンスがあり私は泳げなかったのでお留守番。ですが浮き輪やボディーボードやサップなど遊べるアイテムが充実しており、それを借りて浅いところで遊んでいました。なので泳ぎが得意ではない人でも充実していると思います。ただやはり寒いです。笑　シュノーケリングから帰ってくるひとたちはみんな寒くて震えていました。
参加するならもっと気温の高い時期をお勧めします。
ガイドも日本人でわかりやすかったです。

It was around my ankles during low tide. I was disappointed as I was hoping to see the sandy beach, but the sea was beautiful and a sea turtle appeared, just as I had hoped. The lunch was delicious.

引き潮でくるぶしの辺りでした。
砂浜が現れるのを期待していましたので残念でしたが、海は綺麗でウミガメも現れてくれて、期待どうりでした。
ランチが美味しかったです。

I decided on Captain Bruce after seeing various reviews. Although the weather was unfortunate, the guide and driver were pleasant, the pickup time was perfect, and the food was delicious and satisfying. ★
However, during the snorkeling explanation, there were many comments that raised concerns, which made even experienced snorkelers hesitant.
In reality, the difficulty level was very low, and the time spent was only about 20 minutes within sight.
I believe safety explanations are important since it involves life, but I chose this somewhat expensive tour expecting that kind of safety and service, so I was disappointed in that regard.
Next time, I will choose a different tour!

色々な口コミを見てこのキャプテンブルースに決めました。天気こそ残念でしたが、ガイドさんや運転手さんの感じも良く、お迎え時間もピッタリ、料理も美味しくて満足出来るものでした★
ただ、シュノーケルの説明の時に不安を掻き立てるような説明が多く、初心者はもちろん、経験者も見送りにしていたくらいです。
実際の難易度は非常に低く、目の届く範囲で時間も20分程度と短かったです。
命に関わることなので説明は大切だと思いますがそういった安全性やサービスも期待してこの少々割高なツアーを選んでいるのでそこが残念に思いました。
次回は別のツアーで‼︎

I participated in this tour for the first time. The day was cloudy, it rained occasionally, and it was cold, so it took courage to get into the sea, but I managed to do it! Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar, but we did encounter sea turtles! I was satisfied because I joined the tour to see sea turtles. The staff were all very kind, which made me feel at ease. I would love to join this tour again someday.

初めてこのツアーに参加しました。当日は雲っていて雨もたまに降り、寒くて海に入るのは勇気がいりましたが、頑張って入りました♪残念ながらサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、海ガメには遭遇出来ました♪私は海ガメに会いたくて参加したので満足でした☆スタッフの方も皆さん優しい方ばかりで安心しました。またいつかこちらのツアーに参加したいです。

I participated in the morning session. Despite it being the rainy season, it was sunny, and I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It was so much fun!! Also, the staff were very accommodating, and the lunch was delicious. Everything was fantastic!! I want to go again!!

午前の部に参加しました。
雨季にも関わらず晴れて、
シュノーケリングでは、ホヌもみれて
とても楽しかったです！！
また、スタッフの方達の対応も良くて
お昼ご飯も美味しかったし、
何もかも最高でした！！
また行きたいです！！

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I joined the tour. It felt more like watching while snorkeling rather than swimming together. I was very satisfied to encounter not only dolphins but also seals and whales.

イルカと泳ぎたくて、ツアーに参加しました。
一緒に泳ぐとゆうよりはシュノーケルをしながら、眺めるとゆう感じでした。
イルカ以外にもアザラシ、クジラに出会えて、大満足です。

There was a mix-up, and our pickup time was delayed, but thank you for your consideration until the end! I apologize as I think it was also because we arrived just in time.

I believe there were both local staff and Japanese staff present, and everyone had wonderful hospitality, creating a pleasant atmosphere on board throughout.

The weather wasn't very good and it was a bit cold, so I would like to try again during a warmer season next time. ^_^

手違いがあり、ピックアップ時間が遅れたのですが最後までお気遣いいただきありがとうございました！
私たちが時間ギリギリに行ってしまったせいもあると思うので申し訳なかったです。

スタッフさんは現地の方日本人の方両方いらっしゃると思いますが、どの方もホスピタリティが素晴らしく船上は終始和やかな雰囲気でした。

お天気があまり良くなく少し寒かったので、次回は暖かい時期に再挑戦したいです^_^

All family members were satisfied and it became a good memory. I think being able to choose three activities at this price offers great cost performance. The staff were also kind; they accommodated us by switching us to the same tour bus as our friends who had made a separate reservation, which was very nice.

This time, I chose the movie tour, jungle tour, and fish pond tour. Actually, I couldn't choose anything else. Among the four activities, the cruise was closed on Sundays.

I believe it would be beneficial for future participants if the breakdown of selectable activities were clearly stated in advance. The buggy and horseback riding fall under the experience category.

よい思い出になったと家族全員満足しました。3つ選べてこの価格はコストパフォーマンスがいいと思います。またスタッフのかたも親切で、別で予約した友人と一緒の園内ツアーバスに代えてくれたりなど、融通を聞かせてくれ、とても良かったです。
今回は映画ツアー、ジャングルツアー、フィッシュポンドツアーを選びました。というかそれ以外選べませんでした。4つあるアクティビティのうち、クルーズは日曜はお休みでした。
選べるアクティビティの内訳が事前に明記されていると次に参加される人にとって有益だと思います。
バギー、乗馬はエクスペリエンスというくくりです。

A pod of dolphins came by twice, and we could hear their calls. We also saw a whale's back and a sea turtle. It was amazing. The cheeseburger that the captain made was delicious too.

イルカの群れが2回も来てくれて、鳴き声も聴こえました。クジラの背中もウミガメも見れました。サイコーでした。船長さんが作ってくれたチーズバーガーも美味しかっです。

It was such an amazing tour! It was truly moving, and I will definitely go again!

こんなにさいこーなツアーあるんだってくらい！素敵なツアーでした！
ほんとに感動して、また絶対いきます！

The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

The weather was nice, so we were able to see sea turtles from the boat and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. We also had a jungle exploration in a vehicle like a jeep, visiting many movie filming locations, including Jurassic World. The lunch buffet was delicious too.

天気がよかったせいもあり船から海ガメをみることができたり、綺麗な山の景色を堪能しました。またジープのような車でシャングル探検あり、ジュラシックワールドなど数多くの映画ロケ地をめぐりなど楽しめます。昼食のバイキングも美味しいですよ。

I encountered a pod of about 30 dolphins and was able to swim with them up close! I was so moved and excited that I felt like crying underwater. I could even hear the dolphins' calls, and it truly was the best experience of my life.

Considering the price, I believe this experience is worth more than what you pay! The staff, including a funny Japanese lady and other foreign staff, were all really nice and made it so much fun.

It seems that you can't always meet a lot of dolphins every time, but the thrill of the adventure, whether you get to see dolphins or not, is enjoyable enough, especially with the truly beautiful sea and scenery.

During the trip, we also had the chance to go whale watching, and at the snorkeling spot, I encountered several large sea turtles. I was really satisfied!

I heard that due to legal changes, it might not be possible to swim with dolphins directly in the sea this summer, so I hope I can go again before summer. Thank you to all the staff, especially Chinatsu!

30頭程の群れに遭遇して、間近でイルカと泳ぐことができました！感動と興奮で水中で泣きそうになるほどです。水中ではイルカの鳴き声も聞こえて、本当に人生最高の体験ができました。
料金に対して、この体験ができるなら料金以上だと思います！
スタッフは面白い日本人のお姉さんを含め、外国人のスタッフも皆良い人で本当に楽しかったです。
毎回たくさんのイルカに会えるとは限りらないらしいですが、イルカに会えるか会えないかも含めてドキドキしながらの冒険も楽しみと思えるほど本当に綺麗な海と景色に魅了されます。
航海の途中でホエールウォッチングもでき、シュノーケルのスポットでは数頭の大きなウミガメにも出会えました。
本当に大満足でした！
今年の夏には法律の改正で直接海の中でイルカと泳ぐことができなくなるかもしれないらしいので、また夏までに行けたら良いなと思っています。
スタッフの皆さん、チナツさんありがとうございました！

We spent a long time chasing dolphins by boat, so we didn't have enough time to experience SUP or kayaking, but we had fun encountering both dolphins and turtles. A person I met in Hawaii said they participated a week ago and spent two hours searching for dolphins in huge waves, which caused everyone to return, creating a hellish scene, so I think we were lucky.

ボートでイルカを追いかける時間が長かったためＳＵＰやカヤック体験する時間が不足して出来ませんでしたがイルカにも亀にも出会え楽しかったです。ハワイで知り合った方が1週間前に参加したが凄い波の中イルカを2時間も探したせいでみんな戻して地獄絵図だったと言っていたのでラッキーだったと思います。
