This was a great experience and worth the price. The only comment I have to improve is for the pick up at the hotel, there should be better identification of the bus that is for the event.

This was worth the hour drive from the North Shore! The premium package is definately the way to go! We had a great time. Loved the chicken (pork was a little salty for my taste). All you can eat was great for the price. I would go back. The sunset is beautiful. Great place for family pictures.

This was by far one of the greatest honeymoon activities my husband and I did. If you decide to choose this luau, it is definitely worth the money to get the VIP front row seating. No waiting in line, and you are right by the stage! Definitely worth the money hula and fire dancer were awesome!

Very satisfied!! 大満足!!

Reviewed by: イルカっ子

My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday in Hawaii, and the number one thing on her "to-do list for this summer vacation" was to swim with dolphins!! Yes, the main event of this year's trip to Hawaii was enrolling in Dolphin University.

The result was... absolutely, overwhelmingly satisfying!! It was an incredibly exciting university experience (*^^)v

I woke up to breakfast with malasadas, and after about a 40-minute drive, passing by the Konishiki residence on the left, we arrived at the West Coast. We switched to a boat and set off with Yuriko and the energetic staff!! Within 10 minutes, we reached the dolphin spot → dove into the sea!! Even my daughter, who isn't a strong swimmer, was well-supported by the staff and enjoyed snorkeling with everyone (laughs). Then...

There they were＼(~o~)／ I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures and was captivated by the large group of dolphins. After that, we were able to see honu (sea turtles) and many fish up close.

For lunch, we had cheeseburgers grilled on the boat, which were also exquisite!! For some reason, everyone got excited and sang loudly during the ukulele and hula lessons, making it a quick half-day of fun♪

Dolphin University is definitely a place where both adults and children can enjoy themselves!! I want to enroll again next year (@^^)/~~~

Hawaiiで8歳の誕生日を迎えた娘の“今年の夏休みにする事”の一番がイルカと一緒に泳ぐこと!!
そうです、今年のHawaii旅行のメインイベントはイルカ大学に入学することでした。

結果は…、大大大満足!!そして超感激した大学生活でした(*^^)v

朝食のマラサダで眼が覚め、車にゆられて約40分~コニシキ邸を左手に過ぎるとウエストコーストに到着。
船に乗り換え、ユリ子さんや元気なスタッフと出発!!
10分もするとイルカのスポットに到着→海へダイブ!!
泳ぎが得意でない娘もスタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれて皆と一緒に余裕のシュノーケリング（笑）
すると…
いたいたいた＼(~o~)／あまりの感動に写真を撮るのも忘れてイルカの大群に見入ってしまいました。
その後もホヌや多くの魚を間近で見ることが出来ました。

ランチタイムは船上で焼いたチーズバーガー、これもまた絶品!!
ウクレレやフラレッスンも何故か皆で大声を出して盛り上がりあっという間の半日でした♪

イルカ大学は大人から子供まで間違えなく楽しめる大学です!!
また来年も入学したいと思っています(@^^)/~~~

The best, strongest dolphin tour & more and more... the first half 最高、最強イルカツアー＆　more and more 。。。。前半

Reviewed by: 康ママ

On June 23rd, I participated with my 3-year-old son and my pregnant sister.

This was my second trip to Hawaii for my brother's wedding, and it was my son's first time in Hawaii. Last time, we mainly walked around the city, shopped, and enjoyed Waikiki Beach, but with a small child, shopping isn't really enjoyable. I wanted to find something that both the child could enjoy and that would be suitable for my pregnant sister, something that we couldn't experience in Japan. After searching with Alan, I found this option.

It had high ratings, and reading everyone's comments made it sound like a lot of fun. However, I was a bit skeptical because I had previously participated in a tour that was terrible despite good reviews. But with the 7.77 campaign and free admission for children under 3 (it's quite common for 3-year-olds to be charged, even though they probably don't understand what's going on), I was excited.

My son had a fear of the ocean after falling over in the waves during his debut at the beach last year, so I was quite anxious that he might get upset right before we went, even with the promise of feeding dolphins and turtles. I thought it would be fine to leave him with his grandparents if needed, and there was no cancellation fee, which was a relief.

On the day of the event, we had to gather at 6:10 AM. It was early... especially since it was the day after our arrival, and that time is quite tough for someone with low blood pressure. Oh boy. My son, who loves his mom, decided to join us. Just before we left, he was fussing about not wanting to go to the ocean or ride on a boat, but I managed to calm him down by promising him donuts (malasadas) and cheeseburgers.

At the meeting point, there was a shuttle bus with "Dolphin University" written on it in big letters. We were greeted by a lovely, bright, and talkative young woman with long hair and a sun-kissed complexion. My excitement and blood pressure both rose a bit.

The aforementioned lady, Yuriko, drove us to our first destination, Leonard's. During the drive, everyone introduced themselves, and thanks to Yuriko's skillful guidance, the atmosphere became friendly and relaxed. The shop was located along a main road, away from the tourist areas, and I probably wouldn't have been able to come here without the courage to rent a car. I was very happy with this kind of service; it scored high points with me. Leonard's is well-known and often featured in magazines and on TV, so I had imagined a clean and tidy shop, but its appearance pleasantly surprised me, blending into the everyday life of America. The atmosphere was great. While we were there, locals kept coming in to buy, showing its popularity.

I tried the most basic type of malasada. It was freshly fried and warm, gently waking up my half-asleep brain with its sweetness and moist, fluffy texture. It was delicious, and I understood why it was so popular.

By the way, while we were at Leonard's, my son felt the urge to go to the bathroom...

６月２３日に息子(３歳)、妹(妊婦)と共に参加。

今回は弟の結婚式で来た２回目のハワイ、息子は初ハワイでした。前回は街歩き、ショッピング、ワイキキビーチがメインでしたが、小さい子供連れだとショッピング等はたのしめない。子供も楽しめ、かつ妊婦でもOKの日本で体験できない感動をと思いアランさんで探したところ、こちらがヒット。
評価が高く、皆さんのコメントをよんでも楽しそうなものばかり。。以前評価を信じて参加したツアーがとんでもなかったため疑念を抱きつつも、折しも７．７７キャンペーン＆３歳以下無料(３歳で有料って結構多い、まだわけもわからんだろうに。)。おお。
息子は、去年の海デビュー時、波ですっころんでから海(波)恐怖症のため、イルカと亀というエサがあっても行く直前にぐずるかとかなり不安でこれなら同行のじいじばあばにあづけてもキャンセル料もないし、ときめました。

さて当日。６時１０分集合。早い。。到着翌日だし、低血圧にはかなりつらい時間帯。おぅ。そしてママ大好きっ子の息子は一緒に参加することに。直前まで、海やだー船乗らないーと騒ぐが、ドーナツ(マラサダ)＆チーズバーガーたべようねーとなんとかなだめ出発。

集合場所にはイルカ大学とでかでかと書かれた送迎車。迎えてくれたのはロングヘアに焼けた肌が素敵なとーっても明るく御話し上手なお姉さん。血中ハワイ濃度、血圧ともに少し上昇。

先述のお姉さん、ユリコさんのドライブで最初の目的地レナーズへ。車中でみんな自己紹介、ゆりこさんの巧みな誘導で和やか、フレンドリーなムードになっていく。お店は観光エリアからはずれた幹線道路沿いにあり、レンタカーを借りる勇気のない自分ではなかなか来れないだろう。こういうとこに連れて行ってくれるのはとてもうれしいサービス。ポイント高い。レナーズは雑誌やテレビでも良く紹介されていて有名なので小奇麗なお店を想像していたが、いい意味で期待を裏切る外観、アメリカの日常に溶け込んでいるようなところ。その雰囲気がいい。私たちがいる間にも次々と地元の人たちがかいにくる。人気なんだな。そして
一番ベーシックなタイプを食す。揚げたてほかほか、半分寝ている脳味噌をやさしく起こしてくれる甘さ、しっとりほわほわの食感。おいしい。人気なのもわかる。
ところで、レナーズに立ち寄った際、息子が尿意をもよおし

It was fun!☆ 楽しかったです☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had an amazing time! I'm really glad I participated in this tour. Actually, it was my companion's first time at the ocean in over ten years, and it was also their first time snorkeling. Plus, we’re not great swimmers... But even with that, we had an absolute blast! We wore life jackets, so there was no worry about drowning. Also, the staff provided support for those who aren't good at swimming, so it was all good!

There were so many dolphins! It was funny when we mistook the heads of people from other tours for dolphins... (laughs) We also saw tons of fish, and the turtles were incredible. We even got to swim alongside them! Thanks to that, we got some great videos. It was truly a fun time, and I felt so relaxed.

However, getting up early was a bit tough. We had to leave around 6 AM, so our alarm was set for 5 AM! Since we’re not morning people, we completely missed the alarm and woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. We jumped up in a panic, but the call had already ended. Just when I thought I overslept, the phone rang again. It turned out to be the tour's morning call. Thanks to that, we managed to make it on time. For those who struggle with mornings, there are multiple morning calls, so it seems manageable (laughs).

For breakfast, we had Leonard's malasadas! Drinks are not included, so you can either bring your own or buy water for a dollar. After breakfast, we took motion sickness pills since there were a few people on the tour who felt a bit seasick, so don’t forget if you're worried! Thanks to that, we were super comfortable.

I definitely want to participate again next time. So, everyone, enjoy!

すんごく楽しかったですよ~☆
このツアーに参加してよかったです♪
実は、同行者は１０数年ぶりくらいの海、そしてシュノーケルも初めて、そしてなんと私たちは泳ぎが苦手・・・。
こんな私たちでも超満喫できました！！
ちゃんとライフジャケットもつけるからおぼれる心配はありません。また、泳ぎが苦手な人にはスタッフがサポートしてくれるので大丈夫ですよ！
イルカちゃんたちいっぱいいましたよ~！！でも、他のツアーでシュノーケルしてる人たちの頭をイルカと間違えたのは笑えましたが・・・（笑）
またお魚ちゃんたちもい~っぱい見れたし、なんといっても亀ちゃんがすごかった。一緒に並んで泳げちゃいました☆
おかげでいいムービーが取れました。
ほんとにほんとに楽しい時間でした。
とっても癒されましたよ~☆
ただ、朝早いのがちょっときつかったです。
出発は、６時ごろだったから、目覚ましはなんと５時台！？
朝が苦手な私たちは、目覚ましには全く気づかず、電話の音で目が覚めました。あわてて飛び起きましたが電話が切れてしまったのです。あぁ~寝坊した~と思ったらもう一度電話が鳴っったのです。出てみるとツアーのモーニングコールでした。おかげでなんとか間に合いました。朝が苦手な人でも何度もモーニングコールがあるからなんとかがんばれそうですね（笑）
それから、朝食は、レナーズのマラサダ！ドリンクは含まれていないので自分で持っていくか、１ドルで水は売ってくれます。私たちは、この朝食後に酔い止めを飲みました。ツアーに参加された方で若干船酔いされていた方がいましたので、心配な方はお忘れなく！おかげで超快適でしたよ。
次回また参加したいと思います。
それじゃ、皆さんも楽しんで☆

You will be healed by the beautiful sea and dolphins. 美しい海とイルカに癒されます

Reviewed by: mie

In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and had malasadas for breakfast at Leonard's. The freshly made, fluffy malasadas were delicious! Now, off to the sea in Waianae where the dolphins are waiting!

Along the way, our guide Yuji provided sightseeing information, saying, "This is the hospital where President Obama was born," and "On your left is the house of Kōnishiki!" Each time, everyone exclaimed, "Wow!!" I appreciated the thoughtful efforts to keep everyone engaged during the 40-minute journey, which flew by, and soon we arrived at the sea in Waianae!

Once we boarded the boat and headed out, I was amazed! The water was completely clear! You could see right through to the bottom! What a beautiful sea. I was thrilled and confident that we would see dolphins.

The sea in Waianae is calm, beautiful, and mysterious. I stared intently at the surface, hoping to see dolphins. Spin jumps!! We also jumped into the water.

As we quietly swam, there were 60 to 70 dolphins around us. They swam right in front of us and beneath us. Baby dolphins were swimming closely with their mothers. I felt like I wanted to swim with them forever. So happy♪

The cheeseburger grilled on the boat was incredibly delicious, and canoeing and paddle surfing were also fun. It was truly a packed experience. I felt like we accomplished so much in just half a day. I want to come back again next year!

朝ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、あのレナーズでマラサダの朝食。出来立てでふわふわのマラサダ、美味しい~！！さあ、いざイルカの待つワイアナエの海に！！
途中は、ガイドのゆうじさんが、「ここはオバマ大統領の生まれた病院ですよ」「左手の御殿が小錦さんの家です！」と観光案内。その都度、みんなからは「わあ~！！」と歓声。
海に着くまでの間も皆を飽きさせないような気配りが嬉しいです。
４０分くらいの移動時間もあっという間で、ワイアナエの海に！！
船にのって海に出てびっくり！海が完全に透明なんです！海の中が見える見える！！なんて美しい海なんでしょう。感激！！きっとイルカにあえるぞ~と確信。
ワイアナエの海は穏やかでどこまでも美しく神秘的。イルカを期待して、水面をじっと見つめる。
スピンジャンプ！！私たちも海に飛び込む。
静かに静かに泳いでいると、そこには６０~７０匹ものイルカ。目の前をイルカたちが横切ったり、私たちの下をイルカたちが泳いだり。赤ちゃんイルカもお母さんにぴったりと寄り添って泳いでいる。永遠にこのまま一緒に泳いでいたい気持ちになりました。幸せ♪♪
船の上で焼いてもらったチーズハンバーグは飛び切り美味しかったし、カヌーやパドルサーフィンも楽しかった。本当に盛りだくさんでした。たった半日とは思えないような充実ぶりでした。また来年も行きたい！と思いました。

Dolphin Teacher is the best!! イルカ先生最高！！

Reviewed by: Y＆M

I participated on June 30th.

The weather was clear from the morning! I was picked up at the hotel early in the morning and headed straight for Leonard's famous malasadas. These are not like donuts with holes; they are oval-shaped fried pastries. Freshly made, they have a light texture instead of being greasy! I felt like I could eat as many as I wanted♪

After that, we went to the harbor on the west coast where the Dolphin University boat is located. It took about 40 minutes by car. There were about 30 people on the boat, including the staff, and we set off to find the dolphins!

The weather was so nice that the sea breeze was pleasant, and just moving around was enjoyable. Along the way, we learned a traditional Hawaiian prayer and prayed to the sea gods together. Hoping our prayers would reach them, we continued our search for the dolphins from the boat.

At one point… we spotted a pod of dolphins!! Following the staff's instructions, everyone jumped into the sea! By the way, goggles and fins are provided, but wetsuits are available for a fee. However, I recommend renting a wetsuit.

As for the dolphins, at first, they didn't come close because everyone was splashing around in the water, but thanks to the staff's experience and skills, the dolphins…! Before we knew it, there were about 15 dolphins around us…! It was truly moving! Of course, we couldn't touch them, but they swam right past us, below us, and even chatted with a "quee" sound… the dolphins in the wild are truly amazing.

After being moved by the dolphins, we headed to the underwater palace. Yes, there were sea turtles and colorful fish waiting for us there! I was captivated by the sea turtles and couldn't help but follow them. They seemed a bit annoyed, though (laughs).

Additionally, there were activities like sea kayaking, paddle surfing, and on the boat, we enjoyed special hamburgers and hula dancing… it was a class filled with so many fun activities that I can't even write them all down.

Thank you so much, Yuriko, Yuji, Cynthia, Dad, Keoki, Kioni, Mary… and all the wonderful instructors! I had a truly enjoyable time!!

6/30日に参加しました。

当日は朝から快晴！
早朝にホテルでピックアップしていただき、レナーズ名物マラサダ向けて一直線。
ドーナツみたいな穴はない、俵型の揚げパン。これが出来たてで、揚げている代わりに軽~い食感！何個でも食べられそうな感じでした♪

その後はイルカ大学のボートがある西海岸の港へ。車で４０分くらいは移動したでしょうか。
ボートにはスタッフの方々を含めると３０人程が乗船。そしてイルカ先生を探しに沖へ！

とてもいい天気だったので、海の風も心地良く、移動しているだけでも楽しめました。
途中、ハワイ古来の祈りを教えていただき、全員で海の神様にお祈り。
お祈りが届くことを願い、ボートからイルカ先生探しを続行。

あるポイントで…イルカ先生の群れを発見！！スタッフの方々の指示でみんな海へ~！ちなみに、ゴーグルはフィンは貸していただけます。ウェットスーツは有料。でもウェットスーツは借りることをお勧めします。

で、肝心のイルカ先生ですが、はじめはみんなが海でバタバタしていたので近くに寄ってくれませんでしたが、スタッフの方々の経験とワザ？が、イルカ先生の心を…！
気づいたら私たちの周りには１５頭ほどのイルカ先生が…！
本当に感動です！
もちろん触れませんが、私たちの目の前を通り過ぎ、下を泳ぎ、そして「キュー」っとおしゃべりをし…大自然のイルカ先生は本当に感動させてくれます。

イルカ先生に感動した後は、竜宮城へ。そう、こちらもウミガメ先生やカラフルなお魚達が待っていてくれました！
ウミガメ先生に魅了され、思わず後を追ってしまいました。ちょっと迷惑そうでしたが(笑)

その他、シーカヤックやパドルサーフィン、そして船上では特製ハンバーガーにフラダンス…といった、もう書ききれないくらい遊び満載の授業でした。

ユリコさん・ユウジさん、シンシアさん・パパさん・ケオキさん、キオニさんにメアリーさん…そして多くの先生！
本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました！！

Dolphins and sea turtles are awesome. イルカも海がめもサイコ−

Reviewed by: millty

I participated in this tour during a monitor experience on July 14th! When I came to Hawaii last time, I joined another wild dolphin tour and was moved when I saw the dolphins. However, the previous tour from another company was in a location where the sea wasn't very beautiful, which was disappointing. This time, I applied for this tour because I saw reviews and the website suggested they would take us to a beautiful sea!

My impression is, it was awesome!!! I'm really glad I chose this tour! That's the bottom line!! I absolutely recommend it!

The sea was taken to the westernmost point of Oahu, so it was clear, and we could see dolphins swimming right next to us, making it feel like we were really swimming in the ocean together! Moreover, not only did we see dolphins, but at the point where the water was clearest, we had time to feed the fish and enjoy paddle surfing! This tour also allows you to enjoy delicious food! (laughs) In the morning, after departing from the meeting place, we first went to Leonard's Bakery, famous for malasadas, where we each had a freshly made, piping hot one. While on the water, Captain Papa prepared delicious cheeseburgers, chilled pineapples, chips, and drinks, which came out just when we were swimming and feeling a bit hungry! The timing was perfect!

We encountered dolphins three times, and I was able to see them swimming right by my feet twice, so I felt completely satisfied both emotionally and physically★☆★☆★.

For those who are hesitant about participating, I joined other activities during my stay in Hawaii, but the tour I wanted to do again was definitely this one, so please go and enjoy it!

7/14にモニター体験にてこのツアーに参加してきました!!
前回ハワイに来た時も他の野生のイルカツアーに参加し、イルカを見たときには感動！だったのですが、前回の他会社ツアーは海があんまりきれいな場所ではなく残念だったので、今回は書き込みやＨＰなどを拝見してきれいそうな海に連れて行ってくれそうだったので、このツアーに申し込みました！！

感想は、サイコ−！！！このツアーにしてほんっとに良かった！その一言ですね！！
絶対オススメですよ！！

海もオアフ島の最西端につれて行っていただいたので、澄んでいて、イルカも見れるし、海がめは真横を泳いでるから、本当に一緒に海を泳いでいるようでした！しかも、イルカを見るだけでなく、１番海が澄んでいるポイントではお魚にえさをやったり、パドルサーフィンを楽しんだりもしっかり時間をとっていただけました！！
このツアーは美味しい物を食すこともできます！（笑）朝、集合場所から出発すると、まず最初にマラサダで有名なレーナーズベーカリーにて焼きたてほやほやアッツアツを一人一個ずつ食べ、水上では、キャプテンパパさんが焼いてくれたおいしいチーズバーガーやヒエヒエのパイナップルや、ポテチ、ドリンクなど水中で泳いで小腹か減ってるときにすかさずでてくる！このタイミングもさすがでした！！

イルカは３回アタックして、２回イルカが足元を泳いでいく姿をしっかりと見ることが出来たし、ほんとに気持ちもおなかも満腹★☆★☆★です。

参加しようか迷っている方、ハワイに滞在中他のアクティビティーにも参加しましたが、もう一回行きたかったと思ったツアーは断然このツアーだったので、是非行って見て楽しんでみてください！！

It was better than I imagined. 想像以上によかった

Reviewed by: ぽち

I participated with my husband and mother-in-law. Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I imagined. First of all, taking a boat to Waikiki is great. The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing. We were also able to see turtles underwater. One issue, though, is that after coming up from the submarine, the boat sways quite a bit, and it can make you feel seasick. It might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

主人と義母の3人で参加。
ワイキキ沖ですから、たいして期待していなかったのですが、想像以上によかったですよ。
まずワイキキ沖にボートで行くのがよい。海から見るワイキキは最高です。そして海中では亀を見ることができました。ただ一点問題は、潜水艦からあがったあと、沖合の船上がゆれて結構酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

This time, it was a family trip with three generations. Not only I, but everyone in my family was thrilled, so I was very satisfied. This is all thanks to the kind staff. Thank you so much!!

I also appreciated the morning call to the hotel. I was already up and excited... (laughs) The malasada was even more delicious than I expected, and I wanted to eat another one.

After returning home and going back to school, my child told their friends about Dolphin University, and they were very envious. Surrounded by nature, we had a wonderful experience and made great memories. I'm also working hard while recalling that excitement. I want to see Dolphin Teacher and Turtle Teacher again, so I will definitely participate next time!! I look forward to it again then!!

ハワイ滞在中は色んなＯＰへ参加しましたが、イルカ大学が一番最高でした！！

今回は三世代でのハワイ旅行。
私だけでなく、家族みんなも声をそろえて喜んでくれていたのですごく満足できました。
これもすべて優しいスタッフの皆さんのおかげです。

私は張り切って既に起きていましたが・・・（笑）
マラサダは予想以上においしく、もう1個食べたかったです。

帰国して登校したわが子はお友達にイルカ大学での話をしたところ、すごくうらやましがられたそうです。

It’s soothing☆ 癒されます☆

Reviewed by: ドリマニア

I wasn't particularly fixated on dolphins, but when I saw the chance to participate in the monitor campaign at a great price, I applied with a light heart...

It was truly, truly the right decision!! I never expected to see wild dolphins so close!

First, from the early morning gathering, Yuriko and Yuji's fun talks got me excited♪ During the drive, I was able to hear wonderful stories about how they became captivated by dolphins, which were quite inspiring. Unfortunately, it was raining on the way there, but thanks to that, we saw many rainbows after the rain☆ "Seeing such a big rainbow means something good is definitely going to happen today!" My spirits were high↑↑.

Arriving at the port in such a fun atmosphere, everyone greeted us warmly.

From the moment we boarded the boat, there were dolphins swimming all around! We offered a prayer song and off we went into the sea!

With life jackets on, I had no worries even though I can't swim.

The dolphins were close by, but at first, they didn't come near, which made me a bit anxious. However, as I quietly waited... they were really, really right there! The dolphins swimming gracefully and comfortably were truly magical. I even got to see a mother and baby swimming together.

After the dolphins, we moved to the Dragon Palace for about 20 minutes. They entertained us with ukulele music and served us pineapple, so we weren't bored during the ride.

At the Dragon Palace, we had free time to snorkel, paddle surf, and kayak. We saw not only turtles but also many beautiful fish. When I held out food, they rushed over with such speed that it was a bit scary. Paddle surfing clearly divided those who could do it and those who couldn't (laughs). I definitely recommend giving it a try.

On the way back to the port, we enjoyed special cheeseburgers (eating on the sea was exceptional☆), and we even danced at the end. Personally, I found the dancing to be a lot of fun♪ The more you dance without being shy, the better!

Despite being just a morning activity, it was packed with content. It became the most enjoyable memory of this trip♪

I highly recommend it for anyone looking to immerse themselves in an extraordinary experience and find some healing☆☆☆

特にイルカに固執していたわけではないのですが、モニターキャンペーンでお得に参加できるチャンスだったので、軽い気持ちで申し込んだのですが・・

本当に本当に大正解でした！！
まさかこんなに近くで野生のイルカが見られるとは思ってもいませんでした！

まず早朝の集合からユリ子さん&ユウジさんの楽しいトークでワクワク♪　車内ではお二人がイルカの虜になった経緯など、人生の参考になるような素敵なお話を聞くことができました。　あいにく行きの道中は雨だったのですが、そのおかげで雨上がりには多数の虹が☆　「こんなに大きな虹が見られて今日は絶対良いことあるよー」とテンションも↑↑。


そんな楽しい雰囲気の中港に到着。
やさしそうな皆様が出迎えてくれます。

船に乗った瞬間からイルカの群れがあちらこちらに！
お祈りの歌をささげ早速海へGO!

ライフジャケットがあるので泳げない私でも何の心配もいりません。

群れはすぐ近くにいるけど、なかなか寄ってきてくれなくて最初はちょっと心配でしたが静かに待っていると・・
本当に本当にすぐそこです！
悠々と気持ちよさそうに泳ぐイルカはとても幻想的でした。
親子で仲良く泳ぐ姿も見られました。

イルカの後は竜宮城へ20分ほど移動。
ウクレレを聞かせてくれたり、パイナップルを振る舞ってくれたりと移動中も飽きないです。

竜宮城での時間はシュノーケルをしたり、パドルサーフィンやカヤックをしたり自由に過ごします。
カメだけではなくきれいな魚もたくさん見られます。　
餌を持つとすごい勢いで寄ってきて、少しコワイぐらいでした。
パドルサーフィンはできる人とできない人にはっきり分かれてました（笑）　ぜひチャレンジしてみてください。

港へ向かう帰り道で、特製チーズバーガーを頂き（海の上で食べるのは格別☆）、さらに最後はダンスまで踊りました。
私的にはこのダンスがとても楽しかったです♪
恥ずかしがらず思いっきり踊ったもん勝ちです！

と、午前中のみのアクティビティにも関わらず、盛沢山の内容です。
今回の旅行の中で一番楽しい思い出になりました♪

非日常に浸って癒されたい方にはとってもお勧めです☆☆☆

I was healed by the dolphins and nature.☆ イルカと自然に癒されました☆

Reviewed by: K&K

In the early morning, I boarded the yellow school bus from Dolphin University and first had breakfast at Leonard's. I had already eaten Leonard's malasadas the day before, but at Dolphin University, I was able to enjoy them fresh and hot! The fresh ones were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they were absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend having them fresh☆☆☆

Guided by the cheerful and energetic staff member Yuriko, we arrived at the West after about 40 minutes. Once we boarded the boat from there... the dolphins greeted us right away. I thought we would be searching for the dolphins for a longer time, but as expected, the encounter rate is 100%!!

We hurried into the sea, swimming eagerly after the staff, and there they were, the dolphins! I will never forget the moment when they passed right underneath me or came so close that I could almost reach out to them. Above all, I am grateful to the staff. It was clear that they were doing their utmost to ensure we could meet the dolphins. They taught us when to swim and when to stop and wait quietly, and they shouted loudly, "Look down now~~!!" so we wouldn’t miss anything... Thanks to the dedicated staff, I had the best experience.

After meeting the dolphins, we moved to the second spot by boat. We encountered tropical fish, honu (sea turtles), and even the rarely seen Hawaiian monk seal, and we had a blast with sea kayaking and paddle surfing. After all the fun, the cheeseburgers grilled by Captain Papa on the boat were delicious too!! They played pleasant songs on the ukulele and taught us hula, keeping us entertained until the very end.

Despite such a packed schedule, we were able to return to the hotel around 2 PM, which was great because it left us with some free time afterward. Waking up early was definitely worth it. If I have the chance, I would love to enroll again. Thank you so much to Yuriko and all the staff for such a wonderful time. Mahalo.

朝早くにイルカ大学の黄色いスクールバスに乗り込むと、まずはレナーズで朝食。
前日すでにレナーズのマラサダを食べていたのですが、イルカ大学では揚げたてのアツアツを食べることが出来ました！
揚げたては外がカリッと中がフワフワでとっても美味しかった！！揚げたて絶対お勧めです☆☆☆

元気で明るいスタッフのユリコさんに案内されながら、40分程でウエストに到着。
そこから船に乗ると・・・すぐにイルカ先生達が出迎えてくれました。
もっと長い時間イルカ先生を探し回るのかと思っていましたが、さすが遭遇率100％！!

急いで海に入り、スタッフの後を夢中で泳いでいくと・・・イルカ先生がいました!！
自分の真下を通過したり、手が届きそうなくらい目の前に来た瞬間は忘れられません。
そして何よりスタッフの皆さんに感謝です。
私たちがイルカ先生に出会えるように、全力でガイドして頂いているのがとても伝わりました。
泳ぐタイミングや止まって静かに待つべきタイミングを教えてくれたり、見逃さないように「今、下を見てぇぇ~~！！」と大声で叫んだり・・・本当に熱心なスタッフの皆さまのお陰で最高の体験が出来ました。

イルカ先生に会った後は、２時間目のスポットへまた船で移動。
熱帯魚やホヌ、そして滅多に現れないというハワイアンモンクシール（アザラシ）に出会うことが出来たり、シーカヤックやパドルサーフィンでも遊び、盛り沢山な内容でした。
そして遊び尽くした後、船上で食べたキャプテンパパが焼いてくれたチーズバーガーがまた美味しかった！!
ウクレレを弾きながら心地よい歌を聴かせてくれたり、フラを教わったりと最後の最後まで楽しませて頂きました。

こんなに盛り沢山な内容なのに午後２時頃にはホテルに戻れたので、その後時間がある点も良かったです。
早起きした甲斐がありました。機会があれば、また入学したいです。
ユリコさん始め、スタッフの皆さま本当に素敵な時間をどうも有難うございました。Mahalo.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Monday evening Luau

Reviewed by: Married 13 years

We had a wonderful time. There were a lot of children there and the staff used quite a lot of sexual innuendo so I would not take my children. Was not crowded. We got to do quite a few of the activities and crafts which was fun. I felt pampered and the night was romantic. The pork is out of this world. Pleanty of food. Music and dancing were fabulous.

Note:get to know your camera and practice taking photos at dusk with moving images. Otherwise when you get home your photos willl be all blurry.

I felt healed! 癒されました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been coming to Hawaii almost every year, but my itinerary usually revolves around shopping and relaxing at the beach, so I haven't booked many activities. This time, I wanted to fully experience the power of nature and feel rejuvenated, so I signed up for a tour.

Waking up early was really tough, but the tour was so fulfilling that it made it all worth it!

The malasadas I had at Leonard's after rubbing my sleepy eyes were delicious! Since the location requires a rental car, I appreciated the convenience of stopping by as part of the tour.

Finally, we arrived at the west coast and boarded the boat to start the tour. After searching for dolphins for a while, we spotted a pod! We quickly jumped into the water, and although it wasn't for long, I was moved to see wild dolphins up close. It was a moment that made me feel the beauty and grandeur of nature, even a sense of divinity.

We then moved to a spot where we could see turtles. I heard that there were eight the day before, but on the day I participated, there were only two. A large turtle and a slightly smaller one were being cleaned by little fish.

I personally loved this part, so I spent the whole time watching the turtles and eagerly chasing after them! The turtles had a different vibe from the dolphins, but their grace underwater was truly mesmerizing, and I found myself just gazing at them. The distance to a turtle that came up for air was only about 30 cm, which surprised me!

After enjoying watching the dolphins and turtles, it was lunchtime. The homemade burgers made by the captain were delicious...

I felt like I could completely forget about work and the troubles I left behind in Japan and became pure.

Since people of all ages, from small children to adults, participated, I felt it was a great tour that anyone could enjoy.

If you want to play with nature in Hawaii, I definitely recommend Dolphin University!

ハワイには毎年のように来ているけれど、毎回お買い物とビーチでのんびり・・・という日程ばかりで、あまりアクティビティを予約することはなかった私。
今回はせっかくなので、自然の力をめいっぱい感じて癒されたくて申し込みました。

朝早起きなのはすごくきつかったけれど・・・
そんなの吹き飛ぶくらい、充実した手ごたえのあるツアーでした☆

眠い目をこすりながら到着したLenard'sで食べたマラサダのおいしかったこと！
レンタカーがないといけないロケーションなので、ツアーのついでに立ち寄ってくれるありがたみを感じました。

いよいよ西海岸に到着し、船に乗り込んでツアーがスタート。
イルカを探して少したつと・・・イルカの群れを発見！
早速海に入り、あまり長い間ではなかったけれど・・・野生のイルカをあんなに間近で見ることができて、感動！
自然の美しさというか、壮大さというか・・・神々しさすら感じた瞬間でした。

その後場所を移動して、カメのいるポイントへ。
前の日は８匹もいたそうですが、私の参加した日は２匹だけ。
大きなカメさんとすこし小さなカメさんが２匹、小魚たちにお掃除されてました。

個人的に大好きだったので、このポイントでは終始カメさんを眺め・・・夢中で追いかけてましたｗ
イルカとまた違った雰囲気のカメさんですが、水中での姿は本当に優雅で・・・ぽけーっと眺めてしまいました。
息継ぎに水面まで上がってきたカメさんとの距離はほんの30cmほど。あまりの近さにびっくりしてしまいましたｗ

散々イルカやカメを見てはしゃぎ、子供の気持ちに戻れたところでお昼時間。
船長パパさん手作りのハンバーガーのおいしかったこと・・・

日本においてきた仕事のことや、面倒なことをきれいさっぱり忘れて、Pureになれた気がしました。

小さな子供から大人まで、幅広い年齢の方が参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめるとてもよいツアーだと感じました。

ハワイで大自然と戯れたい方はぜひ！イルカ大学をお勧めします☆

I went on a monitor tour! ☆ モニターツアーで行ってきました☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went to see dolphins! A few years ago, I went on another tour to see dolphins, but the weather was not great, and I didn't encounter many, so this time I went for a revenge tour at Dolphin University.

As for my impressions, I think it's nice that they call you 30 minutes before pickup in the morning, which is reassuring for those who might worry about oversleeping. The pickup van is also very noticeable, as you can see in the photos. Just be careful not to confuse it with Dolphin Junior High.

The stop at Leonard's is convenient since it's hard to get there on your own, and it's nice to be able to check out a popular spot.

The most important part, the dolphin tour, was great; the staff were cheerful, and I think anyone would enjoy it.

However, when I went, it was full, and the boat was crowded, so I think a smaller group would be better.

There weren't many waves, but for those who are not used to being on boats or swimming in deep water, there might be a slight tension that could lead to seasickness. I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

You wouldn't want to miss out on the delicious cheeseburger!

If I want to see dolphins in Hawaii again, I'll definitely rely on Dolphin University!

イルカ見てきました♪
何年か前に、他のツアーでイルカを見に行きましたが
天候がイマイチであんまり出会えず、今回リベンジで、イルカ大学で行ってきました。
感想としては、朝、ピックアップ３０分前に確認の電話をくれるのは、万が一寝過したらっと不安になる方とかにはいいと思います。
お迎えのバンも写真のとおり目立って分かりやすいです。
ただ、イルカ中学と間違えないようにですが。
レナーズの立ち寄りも、自分で行くには不便なので話題のお店も抑えれる点でもいいと思います。

一番大事な、イルカツアーですが、スタッフも明るいですしどんな方が行っても楽しめるとおもいます。

ただ、私が行った時は、満員で船の中もいっぱいでゆっくりできなかったので、もう少し少人数のほうがいいかなと思います。

波とかはあんまりなかったですが、普段、船に乗りなれてない方や海の深いところで泳がれたりしていない人は、微妙な緊張で酔ったりすると思うので、少しでも、酔う心配のある人は、酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。

せっかくのおいしいチーズバーガーが食べれなくなります。

また、ハワイで、イルカに会いたくなったらイルカ大学でお世話になります☆

Swimming with Dolphin Sensei? イルカ先生と泳ぐ？？？

Reviewed by: kamoc

I participated in the $7.77 campaign with my mom.

The day started with a morning call from our guide, Yuriko (laughs).

This time, Yuriko's child was also with us. Yuriko is a very friendly person.

First, we had the famous malasadas from Leonard's. They are incredibly delicious. Each person gets one, so if you want more, you can order extra at your own expense. However, the time here is short, so if you want to eat, make sure to do it quickly.

During the car ride, we got to hear a lot of stories about Hawaii from Yuriko. Along the way, we passed by the house of Konishiki and headed to our destination.

I love dolphins and visit SeaWorld in Japan several times a year to interact with them. My dream was to swim with dolphins in the wild! However, perhaps due to my high expectations, I felt a bit disappointed with the experience of swimming with them.

Once we found the dolphin point by boat, we put on life jackets and entered the sea. It would be better to say we saw the dolphins swimming below us. I had imagined dolphins swimming beside me, so it was a bit disappointing. However, I understand that the dolphins have their own schedules, so it might have been different on another day.

Also, due to time constraints, it felt quite rushed. The snorkeling time afterward was much more relaxed, so I wish we could have spent a little more time with the dolphins. I saw dolphins twice out of the four opportunities we had. It felt like as long as everyone got to see the dolphins, that was good enough.

One positive aspect was that the staff provided a lot of support for my mom, who can't swim at all. Since she was with the staff, she might have seen the dolphins more than I did.

After the dolphins, we moved on to snorkeling. I was surprised to see many yellow fish around the boat. They were beautiful, but it felt unnatural that they were being fed.

While snorkeling, we encountered a sea turtle. It was amazing to see it up close! The time spent with the sea turtle felt more relaxed than with the dolphins, allowing me to really enjoy the experience.

The cheeseburger on the boat afterward was nice because of the setting, but the taste was average.

Overall, the tour had a strong promotional aspect. While I do think it was good, that's something individuals will feel differently about.

$7.77キャンペーンでハハと二人で参加してきました。

当日はガイドの由里子さんのモーニングコールから始まり（笑）

今回は由里子さんのお子さんも一緒でした。
由里子さんはとてもフレンドリーな方です。

まずは有名なレナーズのマラサダから。
これめちゃ美味しいです。
一人一個なので足りない方は自腹で追加注文もOKです。
ただここでの時間は短いので、食べたい方は早めに。

車中では由里子さんのハワイ話が沢山聞けます。
途中、コニシキさんの実家の前を通り、現地へ。

私はイルカが大好きで、日本でもシーワールドには年に数回足を運んでイルカと触れ合ったりもしています。
そんな私の夢が、自然のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ！でした。
そんな過度な期待のせいか、イルカと泳ぐってこれ？って感じでした。

船でイルカポイントを見つけたらライフジャケットを着て海に入ります。
そして下を通り過ぎるイルカ先生を見ると言った方がいいかな。
イメージとしては自分のわきをイルカが泳ぐという感じだったのでちょっと残念。
ただイルカ先生の都合もあると思うので、他の日とかなら違ったのかもしれませんが。

あと時間のせいかかなり急いだ感がありました。
その後のシュノーケリングの時間がかなり余裕があったので、それならもう少しイルカ先生を見たかったです。
私は4回のうち2回イルカを見れました。
とりあえず全員がイルカを見れればOKな感じもしました。

良かったのは全く泳げないハハをスタッフの方がかなりフォローしてくださって助かりました。
スタッフの方と一緒だったので、私よりハハのほうがイルカ先生を見れたかもしれません。

イルカ先生の後は異動してシュノーケリングです。
船の周りには沢山のイエローフィッシュでビックリしました。
綺麗でしたが餌付けされているのが不自然ではありました。

シュノーケリングをしていると海がめに遭遇。
こちらは間近で見られて感激！
イルカ先生よりも海がめの方が時間もゆったり流れ、
自然に身を任せられるので気持ちよかったぁ。

その後の船上でのチーズバーガーは、船上ということで気持ちいいですが、味は普通です。

全体を通してですが、ツアーのアピールが強いです。
確かに良いと思いますが、それは個人が感じること

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

The fire dance is full of excitement! ファイヤーダンスは迫力満点！

Reviewed by: け

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.

The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.

I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.

祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。

ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。

あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

Reviewed by: Hoaloha☆s

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going.

I feel embarrassed for thinking that because it was truly a fun tour. When we spotted the dolphins, I was squealing like a child! Not only did we see dolphins, but we also got to see beautifully colored fish and the honu, which is said to bring good luck. The honu moved slowly, and I was able to swim right alongside it. I was so close that I almost bumped into it!

I was really healed by this experience!

The staff were also very friendly, making it a fun time.

I tend to get motion sickness, but the local motion sickness medicine called Doramamin sold at ABC works wonders! It’s important to take one pill the night before the tour to get your body used to the medication. Thanks to Doramamin, I was able to enjoy it 200%!

I've participated in various tours before, but this is the number one tour!

If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

正直なところ、行くまではあまり期待していませんでした。

そんな自分が恥ずかしい！！って思うくらい、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
イルカを見つけたトキには、子どもに戻ったようにキャーキャー言ってました！！
そしてイルカだけでなく、キレイな色の魚や幸せを呼ぶと言われているホヌを見る事ができました。
ホヌは動きもゆっくりで真横で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私がよけなきゃぶつかっちゃうくらい近くで見ました。

本当に癒されました！！

スタッフのみなさんも、とてもフレンドリーで楽しくすごす事ができました。

私は乗り物酔いがすごいのですが、ＡＢＣに売っているDoramaminと言う現地の酔い止めはすごく効きます！！
ツアーの前の夜に１錠飲んで、体を薬に慣れさせておくのがポイントだそうです。
Doramaminのおかげで２００％楽しむ事ができました！！

今までいろいろなツアーに参加しましたが、No1のツアーです！！

またHAWAIIに行ったら絶対参加します！！
リピーター間違いなし！！

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Luau - July 2010

Reviewed by: RC

As a first time visitor to Hawaii ,I was not sure what to expect from a Luau. The Luau actually begins on the bus ride to Paradise Cove. We were greeted, welcomed and entertained by our host, "Cousin Bronson." He told funny stories and jokes and explained what to expect before we arrived to our destination. This made everyone feel "connected" and a part of the "family."

Paradise Cove Luau was enjoyable and it was a great experience for all of us. The Paradise Cove entertainers were very well trained and showed a great deal of confidence and expertise in their skills and their dances. Afterwards, they were available for pictures and autographs. Paradise Cove is a wonderful setting for a luau. Very beautiful location for the setting sun pictures.

The trip back to our hotel was another entertaining ride with more stories and jokes from Bronson. I would recommend Paradise Cove Luau to anyone. Great job!

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

You can really swim with wild dolphins. 本当に野生のイルカと泳げます

Reviewed by: 雷太

I had signed up for a different tour last time, but we ended up chasing dolphins in the bay, with phrases like, "Hey, chase them! They're over there! Look, over there!" and ultimately, we couldn't see them underwater. I thought to myself, "It's wild after all," when I saw the photos of people swimming with dolphins, thinking this was a rare case. However, to my surprise, I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming underwater from above and the side, just like in the photos. I believe this was largely thanks to the instructors. They carefully guided us by saying, "Come over here! Look ahead, look down!" to show us where the dolphins were.

On the boat, the captain, who somewhat resembled Gary Sinise (which reminded me of Forrest Gump), along with the staff, performed hula and played the ukulele! Even when they were distributing the hamburgers for lunch, they always created a cheerful atmosphere that made the guests feel a sense of unity. The staff, especially one who resembled the cheerful enka singer Jero, helped create a relaxed feeling.

The only downside was that there was a family with a child around three years old, and at first, the child was crying loudly, which scared the dolphins away. I hope participants consider the age of their children when joining.

前回別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカがいる湾内で、”ほれ、追いかけろ！あそこにいるぞ！ほれ！あっちだ”みたいな感じで、ひたすらイルカを追いかけて、結局水中では見られませんでした。やはり野生だからね~~と、こちらの一緒にイルカと泳ぐ写真をみたときも、こういうのはまれなケースだよと思っていましたが、なんと、写真と同じ、群れをなして泳ぐイルカを水中で上から、横から見ることができました。それはインストラクターのスタッフのお陰によるところが大きいと思います。”こっちきて！前見て、下見て”とイルカがどこにいるか、丁寧に誘導してくれます。また、船上では、どことなくケーリー・シニーズに似た船長（なので、フォレストガンプを思い出しました）とスタッフによるフラや、ウクレレ演奏！そして昼食のハンバーガーを配るときもいつも陽気にお客さんに一体感を感じさせる演出をしてくれます。親切で陽気な演歌歌手ジェロ似のスタッフを始め、リラックスした気持ちにさせてくれます。
ただ残念だったのは、3歳くらいの子供を連れた親子がいたのですが、最初子供が泣き叫び、その声でイルカが逃げて行ってしまいました。参加する人も子供の年齢を考えてほしいものです。

The World of The Big Blue グラン・ブルーの世界

Reviewed by: Takeshi

It has been 22 years, but I remember watching the movie "The Big Blue" in high school. I recall seeing it in a nearly empty theater. A few years later, it was re-released as "The Grand Blue," and this time it was so popular that there were people standing. Many must have seen it then. It was a work that brought attention to Jean Reno and director Luc Besson.

Set against beautiful visuals, it tells a story of friendship with rivals and a love story with a partner. Dolphins appear throughout, adding spice to the narrative. And the meaning of the final scene is somewhat unclear. Yet, for some reason, it remains a work that I want to include in my top three, lingering in my heart. That was my impression until now.

However, after participating in Dolphin University, I experienced an indescribable shock of emotion. I felt that this emotion is very much linked to the world of "The Grand Blue." I realized I had misunderstood the way to appreciate the film. I now clearly understand what the real-life figure Jacques Mayol wanted to convey, as well as the meaning behind that final scene. While it's something that can be read in critiques, experiencing it at Dolphin University is the closest way to grasp it. Words cannot express it.

I wrote something that sounds preachy, but overall, I truly had a wonderful time. The malasadas that Yuriko, a heavy customer, reserved were much tastier than buying them in line, and my wife, who has a fear of the sea, looked like a child waiting in line for an injection, but she seemed very satisfied with the cheerful crew and Keoni's escort.

Yuriko is also great with children, full of energy until the batteries run out. I, who am on the verge of being overweight and lacking exercise, regretted underestimating stand-up paddle surfing that I saw on TV. I resolved to tighten my waist and address my lack of exercise during the hula lesson on the way back.

Cynthia takes beautiful photos, so my advice would be to not bring a camera and focus on enjoying the experience; you might as well buy the DVD and CD-ROM. I will participate again to receive the power of the earth, sea, and life. If possible, I would like to enter this world during the off-season when there are fewer people.

もう22年前ですが、高校の時にグレート・ブルーという映画を見ました。人気がなく、貸し切り状態の映画館で見ていたのを思い出します。数年後にグラン・ブルーという名前で、完全版として再上映。この時は、立ち見が出るほどの人気だったので、見た人も多かったのではないでしょうか。ジャン・レノ、リュック・ベッソン監督の名前を世に知らしめた作品です。
美しい映像を背景に、ライバルとの友情や恋人とのラブストーリー。スパイスを利かせながら随所に出てくるイルカ。そして真意がよくわからないラストシーン。しかし、なぜかベスト3に入れたくなるようないつまでも心に残っている作品。というのが今までの感想でした。
ところが、イルカ大学に参加して何とも言えない衝撃的な感動を受けました。そして、この感動がグラン・ブルーの世界と非常にリンクしている。というのを感じます。映画の見方を間違ってました。実在の人物であるジャック・マイヨールが言いたかった事が今ははっきりとわかります。そして、あのラストシーンが意味することも。人の評論を読めば書いてあることですが、イルカ大学で体感することが最も近いと思います。言葉では表せません。
と、説教じみたことを書きましたが、全体を通して本当に楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ヘビーカスタマー(～)のユリコさんが予約していてくれたマラサダは列に並んで買うよりずっと美味しく、海上では注射の列に並ぶ子供のような顔をしていた、海恐怖症の家内も、陽気なクルー、キオニのエスコートで大満足の様子。
ユリコさんは子供の扱いも上手で、電池が切れるまで全開。運動不足、メタボぎりぎりの私は、テレビで見たスタンドアップパドルサーフィンをなめていたと後悔。帰りのフラレッスンでウエストの引き締めと運動不足解消を決意。
シンシアさんがとても綺麗に写真を撮ってくれるので、アドバイスとしてはカメラを持っていかずに、楽しむことに集中して、ＤＶＤ＆ＣＤ−ＲＯＭを買ってもいいと思います。
また大地と海と生命のパワーをもらいにまた参加させてもらいます。個の世界に入るために、できれば人の少ないオフシーズンに。

They take a few photos for about $25 on the boat, so I definitely think you should have them take your pictures (you'll get the film).

私自身、絶叫マシーンはぜんぜん大丈夫なのですが、このパラセイリングはとても絶叫しました。

信じられない Unbelievable

Reviewed by: Hitomi

I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins. While there are tours in Japan where you can interact with trained dolphins, I was thrilled to find a tour where I could swim with wild dolphins! I thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I booked it without hesitation.

This time, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I was excited even before we left! It felt unbelievable that I would actually get to meet wild dolphins…

On the morning of the tour, I took motion sickness medication since I tend to get seasick (I highly recommend that anyone who gets seasick definitely takes it!). We waited for our pick-up. The person picking us up was Yuriko, the director of Dolphin University. Even at 5:30 AM, she was very refreshing and a tough director.

Our first stop was Leonard's. It seems they had called ahead for us, and the freshly made malasadas were fluffy, chewy, and incredibly delicious!

Then we set off for the West Coast! Yuriko drove while guiding us, and before we knew it, we had arrived.

The captain and crew who greeted us were all natural and had wonderful smiles. They radiated a happy aura!

And finally, we set sail! First, we all prayed for safety and tossed flowers into the sea. I love this romantic touch!

After a while, we could see dolphins jumping! We had arrived at the spot. Everyone hurried into the water, following the crew member, Jay. He shouted, "Look here!!" Below in the deep sea, there were a mother and baby dolphin! They were really there, swimming alongside us!

Then we spotted a pod and rushed to get closer. However, they were just out of reach. I wished we could swim with them more closely when Jay dove deep and touched a dolphin! The dolphin came right up to us! Jay was so cool. Thank you!

After that, we changed locations and swam with sea turtles next. We also experienced sea kayaking and paddle surfing. Paddle surfing was my first time, and I kept getting swept away, no matter how hard I paddled, I couldn't get back to the boat… Just when I was wondering what to do, our hero, Jay, came to rescue me in the kayak. I was so glad to have Jay with us!

Then we all enjoyed hamburgers that the captain had grilled, danced the hula, and returned to port.

It was a dream-like day!

私はずっとイルカと一緒に泳ぐことが夢でした。
飼われたイルカと触れ合えるツアーは日本でもあるけど、
野生のイルカと泳げるツアーがあるなんて！ここでしかできないと思い迷わず予約。

ハワイには今回新婚旅行で。
行く前からワクワク☆
本当に野生のイルカに会えるなんてとっても信じられない感じ…

ツアー当日の朝。
酔いやすいので酔い止めを飲んで（酔いやすい方は絶対飲むことをオススメします！）迎えを待ちます。
お迎えはイルカ大学の学院長のYurikoさん、朝5:30なのにとってもさわやかで
タフな学院長です。

最初に立ち寄ったのはレナーズ。
事前に電話で頼んでくれていたそうで
揚げたてのマラサダはふあふあモチモチでとってもおいしい☆

そしてウエストコーストへ出発！
Yurikoさんが運転しながらガイドをしてくれるので
窓の外を眺めてたらあっという間に到着。

出迎えてくれた船長＆クルーはみんな自然体で笑顔がステキです。
ハッピーなオーラが出てる！

そしていよいよ出港！
まずはみんなで安全を願ってお祈りをし、海にお花を投げます。
こうゆう感じもロマンチックで好きです☆

しばらくするとイルカがジャンプしてるのが見える！
ポイントに到着です。
急いでみんな海の中へ、クルーのジェイに付いていきます。
ジェイ『ココミテ！！』
深い海の下にイルカの親子が！
野生のイルカだ~！ほんとにいたよ！
一緒に海を泳いでる☆

それから群れを発見、急いで近づきます。
でも手には届かない距離。もっと近くで一緒に泳ぎたいなぁと思っていたら、
ジェイが深くまでもぐってイルカにタッチ！
イルカがすぐそこまで上がってきました☆
ジェイかっこよすぎです。ありがとう！

その後ポイントを変えて、
次はウミガメと泳ぎます。
そしてシーカヤック＆パドルサーフィンも体験。
パドルサーフィンは初体験でどんどん流されてしまい、漕いでも漕いでも船に戻れない…
どうしようと思っていたら私たちのヒーロー、ジェイがシーカヤックで助けに来てくれました。
もぅジェイ…ジェイが一緒でほんとに良かった☆

そして、みんなでそろって船長が焼いていてくれたハンバーガーを食べて、フラダンスを踊り
帰港。

夢のような一日☆
本当に

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Kids loved it

Reviewed by: tessinHI

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

Dolphins greeted us in large numbers. イルカがたくさん出迎えてくれました。

Reviewed by: ＫＡＺＡ

Last year, I entered Iruka Junior High School, and this year I progressed to university. Compared to last year, I was thrilled to be welcomed by nearly 100 dolphins. I was able to swim very close to them and even hear their voices. Just being in the water was soothing for my heart, and swimming with the dolphins felt amazing. It felt like all my daily stress and fatigue disappeared in an instant. Last year was cold and I felt unwell, but this time there was a wetsuit rental, which made it even more enjoyable. The snacks and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious. I think it would have been even better if there were warm drinks available. I would like to participate again next year.

昨年、イルカ中学校に入学して、今年は大学に進学しました。昨年に比べ、100頭ちかくのイルカが出迎えてくれて感激しました。とても近くで一緒に泳げ、イルカの声も聞くことができました。水の中にいるだけでも、心が癒されるのに、ましてやイルカとともに泳げるなんてとても気持ちよかったです。日ごろのストレスや疲れが一気に吹っ飛んだ感じでした。昨年は寒くて気分が悪くなりましたが、今回はウエットスーツの貸出しがあり、より楽しめました。おやつやランチのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。温かい飲み物があればもっと良かったと思います。また来年、参加したいと思いました。
