All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

They guys were awesome to deal with and worked hard as it was super windy!
We were scared though as the winds were so powerful and they struggled getting the shoot up.

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. I had heard that we might encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles, but since it’s nature, I thought it would depend on luck. Once we set sail and enjoyed the beautiful ocean scenery, we encountered a pod of dolphins about three times. With the crew's guidance, we were able to anticipate the direction the dolphins were swimming and saw them swimming right below us, which was very thrilling and exciting. We also encountered a large sea turtle, making it a very satisfying tour.

I participated in the tour in mid-November, but it was cold after coming out of the sea, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. There were also a few people who got seasick, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a once-in-a-lifetime memory that I could only experience here.

ハネムーンで参加しました。
野生のイルカやウミガメに出会えるとの事ですが、自然相手なので運が良ければという思いでした。いざ出港し、海上の景色も堪能していると、3回ほどイルカの群れに出会えました。クルーの方の誘導でイルカ達の泳ぐ方向へ先回りし、自分達の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいき、とても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。また、大きなウミガメにも遭遇し、とても満足いくツアーとなりました。
11月中旬にツアーに参加したのですが、海から出た後が寒く、ウエットスーツはレンタルすることをお勧めします。
船酔いでダウンされている方も数名いらっしゃったので、酔い止めは服用された方がいいかもしれません。
お天気にも恵まれ、ここでしか体験できない一生の思い出になりました。

It's an amazing trip on Bob's boat, the crew are so nice and super fun.
We saw many turtles and fish near the reef. Just awesome.

It was truly a miraculous experience to see so many dolphins and even spot whales three times. Swimming in high waves was also a first for me, and while it was a bit scary, it was exciting. Above all, the staff were all very warm and welcoming, and I'm really glad I participated in this tour. It was so much fun!

たくさんのイルカをみれて、クジラも3回もみれて本当に奇跡のような体験でした。
高い波の中を泳ぐことも初めての体験で少し怖かったけどワクワクしました。
なによりもスタッフの方がとても温かい方ばかりで本当にこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
とっても楽しかったです！

Before running the course, you are required to do a trial run for about 10 minutes. If you are not able to drive well during the trial run without any practice, you will be put on a buggy driven by staff for the following 50 minutes. The steering can be a bit heavy for women, and it requires some getting used to, but if you go off the course even once, you will be disqualified. This might be the American quality, but compared to Japan, it feels like there is a lack of attentiveness. Since I paid a high price, I would like to have a bit more practice. Of course, I understand that human life is important, but it doesn't make sense that the trial run is more difficult than the actual event.

コースを走る前に10分程度の試走をさせられます。練習もない状態で試走させられ、上手く運転できなかったらそのあとの50分程度は係が運転するバギーに乗せられます。女性にはハンドルが少し重く、また慣れが必要なのに、一度でもコースアウトすると、リタイアさせられます。これがアメリカクオリティかもしれませんが、日本と比べると丁寧さが足りないように感じられます。高いお金を払ったのだから、少しぐらい多目に練習をさせてほしい。もちろん、人命が大切なのは分かりまが、本番より試走の方が難しいのが納得いかない。

This was the tour I was looking forward to the most. I checked the water level at the sandbar in advance and knew that at this time of year, it would be tough at night, so I expected it to be up to my waist. In reality, it was only up to my knees, which made me happy.

It was cloudy at first, but it cleared up later, and I was moved to see such a wonderful sandbar. (Having just seen the Phantom Island in Ishigaki, I thought it was great in comparison, but I was very satisfied.) My husband and I weren't adjusting well to the food in Hawaii and were feeling like we wanted to return to Japan soon (Wolfgang Puck was delicious), but the hamburger lunch was tasty, and we both agreed it was good.

It was my first time snorkeling! The instructions were clear, and although I was scared at first in the deep sea, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed for an hour! Being able to watch a sea turtle resting on the coral right in front of me is my best memory. I tend to get seasick and forgot to take motion sickness medication, but in the end, I was okay. However, I recommend that anyone who is worried should take it with them!

The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and fun, which made it enjoyable. I think this tour is worth more than the price! If I have the chance again, I would like to bring my parents along.

一番楽しみにしていたツアーです。
サンドバーの水位は事前に調べて、今の時期は夜ではないと厳しいのはわかっていたので腰まであるのは想定内でした^ ^
実際は膝上だったので嬉しかったです。
最初は曇っていましたが、途中から晴れてきてとてもステキなサンドバーが見られて感動しました。(先日、石垣島で幻の島を見てきたあとだったのでそれに比べれば…でしたが大満足◎)
ハワイの食事が合わなくて、私も主人も早く日本に帰りたい気持ちになっていたのですが(ウルフギャングはおいしかった)、ハンバーガーランチはおいしくて二人とも良かったね〜と話していました^ ^
シュノーケリングは私は人生初！でしたが分かりやすく教えて頂けたし、とても深い海で最初は怖かったけど気づけば一時間夢中になっていました！珊瑚で休憩しているウミガメを目の前でずーっと眺めることができて一番の思い出です。船酔いしやすいのに酔い止めを忘れてしまい、、、結果的には大丈夫でしたが心配な方は飲んで行かれることをオススメします！
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく面白くて楽しかったです^ ^
お値段以上のツアーだと思います！また機会があれば両親も連れて参加したいです。

I participated in the 150-meter plan. It was quite expensive, but I didn't feel scared at all. However, it was a bit frightening when we were swaying... (laughs) Since it was sunny, the view was very beautiful. You can see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach all at once. It was surprisingly cold up there, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or a T-shirt (something that can get wet) over your swimsuit. We moved by boat, and it swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is a must.

There were two other Japanese couples on the same boat, and we took turns flying. We were the last ones, but we collaborated with the other couples to take photos and videos, and exchanged them via AirDrop afterward! While local people can take photos for you, it costs an additional $30 to get the data on an SD card. Since we didn't have any videos, I recommend collaborating with fellow tour participants to take videos and exchange them later if possible. By the way, we bought the SD card, but they take photos with a DSLR, so the quality is better than a smartphone. They captured moments like when we splashed into the water very well. There were about 60 photos included.

For those unsure about the height, I recommend the 150 meters! I have a slight fear of heights, but I hardly felt scared. I think the higher you go, the more beautiful the view is. I flew with my iPhone in a waterproof case and took photos from the sky as well. Just keep in mind that if you drop it, they won't retrieve it for you, so bring it at your own risk.

150メートルのプランに参加しました。とにかく高かったですが怖さはなかったです。ただ、揺らされた時は少し怖かったですが、、、（笑）晴れていたので、景色はとても綺麗でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ沿いを一望できます。上空は意外と寒かったので、水着の上にラッシュガードやTシャツ（濡れてもいいやつ）を着ることをオススメします。船で移動しますが、結構上下左右に揺れるので苦手な方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
他に日本人カップルが2組おり、一緒の船で順番に飛びました。私たちは最後だったのですが、他のカップルと協力して写真・動画を撮り合い、終わった後にAirDropで交換しました！写真なら現地の方が撮ってくれますが、SDカードでデータを貰うのに別途$30かかります。動画はないので、ツアー参加者同士で協力できそうなら撮り合って後で交換するのもおススメです。ちなみに私たちはSDカードも買いましたが、一眼レフで撮ってくれるので画質はスマホより良いです。水ぽちゃした瞬間などしっかり収めてくれていました。計60枚程度入っていました。
高度で迷っている方は150メートルをおすすめします！私は若干高所恐怖症ですが、怖さはほとんど感じませんでした。高い方が景色は断然綺麗だと思います。私は防水ケースに入れたiPhoneをもって飛び、上空からも撮影しました。ただもちろん落としても拾ってくれないので自己責任で持ち込んでください。

Kualoa Ranch / 1-Hour Horseback Riding Experience

This tour is extremely popular, and although I originally hoped for a 2-hour tour, we couldn't secure a reservation, so we participated in the 1-hour tour!

Each person is assigned a horse by the staff, and they pair us up. I was really happy to be matched with a beautiful chestnut horse.

The horses are very intelligent and follow the horse in front of them. So, even as a beginner, I felt completely safe!

Amidst the magnificent scenery, the sound of the horses' hooves, the breeze, and the fresh air were truly amazing. Next time, I want to make a reservation early and join the 2-hour course!

クアロア牧場/乗馬体験1時間

とっても大人気のツアーということもあり、本当は2時間のツアーが希望でしたが予約がとれず、私達は1時間のツアーへ参加しました！

一人一人に係の方が馬を選んで下さり、ペア決めをしていきます。私は栗毛がとっても綺麗な馬に当たりとっても嬉しい気持ちになりました。

馬は本当に頭が良く、前の馬に習って後を歩きます。
なので初心者でも全く怖くなかったです！

壮大な景色の中、馬の足音と風と空気も澄んでいて本当に最高でした。次は早めに予約をとって2時間コースに参加したいです。

I participated with my mother (75 years old). Even seniors and beginners can enjoy a full hour and a half of horseback riding safely and happily. The female guide is very friendly. She also takes photos along the way (with your own smartphone or camera). You can experience walking on the sandy beach and through the "salad bar" (pasture, as the guide metaphorically describes it, since the horses love to eat grass), truly feeling like you're horseback riding in Hawaii! I definitely want to participate again.

母（７５歳）と参加しました。
シニアで初心者でも安心に楽しく１時間半たっぷり乗馬出来ます。
ガイドの女性もとてもフレンドリーです。
途中で写真も撮ってくれます。（自分のスマフォ、又はカメラにです）
砂浜を歩いたり、サラダバー（牧草地、馬が草を食べたがるので。ガイドさんの比喩です）を歩いたりで正にハワイで乗馬してる！！という感じを体験できます。
ぜひ、また参加したいです。

I was torn between another cruise and this one until the very end, but choosing this one was the right decision. The other cruise ships had different floors depending on the rank, and it seemed that the cheaper ranks had cramped seating and were difficult to move around in. Perhaps because it was a weekday, this cruise ship had spacious floors that we could enjoy. Inside, we had a delicious buffet, and afterwards, I was able to enjoy a cocktail that I ordered for an extra charge while taking in the sunset on the deck with my friends. Additionally, there were Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. After the sunset, everyone was dancing and having fun to the live ukulele band inside. The music from inside was also connected to speakers on the deck, and the foreign girls on the deck were singing along while dancing lightly. The ship was beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

もう一隻のクルーズと最後まで迷いましたが
こちらにして正解でした。
他社のクルーズ船はランクによって階がちがい
安いランクだと席が狭く動きづらいかったようです。
こちらのクルーズ船は平日だったためか
フロアーが広々と使えていました。
中では美味しいビュフェを食べてそのあとは
別料金で頼んだカクテル片手に甲板で風にあたりながら優雅にサンセットを友人達と過ごせました。
また、日本人スタッフもいて安心して過ごせました。
サンセット後は中のフロアーでは
ウクレレの生バンドにあわせて
みんなでダンスしたり楽しそうにしていました。
甲板にもスピーカーで中の音楽がつながっており
甲板にいた海外の女の子は軽く踊りながら
みんなで熱唱していました。
船も綺麗で大満足でした。

The tour itself was very satisfying.

On the way there, we were picked up at the hotel, but we weren't on the way back... It seemed that other Japanese groups and the foreign group we were with on the bus were called out, but our family was ignored... We felt sad because no one spoke to us. Do we need to report for the return trip...? Since there was nothing we could do, we walked to Ala Moana Center. It was quite a distance, and my feet started to hurt (>_<).

ツアー自体はとても満足でした。

行きは、ホテルまでえお迎えしてもらったのですが帰りはしてもらえず…
他の日本人のグループや
行きのバスで 一緒した外人さんグループは、
声を掛けてもらっていたようで、
帰っていったのですがで
私たち 家族は 知らんぷり…
何も声を掛けてもらえず 悲しい思いをしました。帰りは帰りで 申告しないと
いけないんですかね…
しょうがないので、アラモアナセンターまで
徒歩で行きました。
結構
距離あって足が痛くなっちゃいました(>_<)

I had so much fun!!!
The weather was great, and it felt very nice.
I booked the 90m height, and it was plenty enjoyable.
When I experienced parasailing in Hawaii a long time ago, it was a two-person setup with one in front and one in back, but it seems that side-by-side is the trend now.
Being side-by-side allows you to see the faces of the people you're experiencing it with, making it easier to chat while enjoying the aerial stroll, which was great.
I participated in the session at 5 PM in early December, and I was able to see the sunset while parasailing, making it a wonderful experience!!!
I want to do it again!!!

とっても楽しかったです！！！
天気も良く、とても気持ちよかったです。
高さ90mで予約しましたが、充分楽しめました。
昔ハワイでパラセイリングを体験した時は、2人、前後ろに座るものだったのですが、最近のパラセイリングは横並びが主流のようですね。
横並びの方が一緒に体験する人の顔が見え、空中散歩しながら会話もしやすいので良かったです。
12月上旬、17時〜の回に参加したのですが、パラセイリングしながら夕日も見れ、素敵な体験になりました！！！
またやりたいです！！！

On November 30, 2018, it felt like there were only a few fish in the areas where there were no corals and where planes and other things were sunk. It was very disappointing, especially considering the high cost.

2018年11月30日　サンゴがなく飛行機など沈めている所にだけ魚が少しいる感じでした。金額が高いのに　これだけ・・・と、とても残念でした。

I thought one hour of horseback riding would be too short, so I opted for the two-hour course. Depending on the reservation situation that day, there was about an hour of waiting time after arriving by shuttle bus until the horseback riding assembly time, so I looked around the shop and took photos with the horses while waiting.

Once the horseback riding began, we went to the back of the vast grounds near the mountains and returned, but the guide did not provide any information about the filming locations at all; they only directed the horses that were lagging behind, and we just rode along while taking photos of the scenery. I ended up getting bored halfway through.

After the horseback riding ended, we had to wait for two hours until the scheduled bus departure time. The shop was small, so I had already seen everything during the hour before riding, and the restaurant had an unappealing "employee cafeteria" atmosphere, so I ended up just sitting and waiting. I think the waiting time can be quite tiring. I recommend that those who can rent a car meet at the location by car.

乗馬1時間は短すぎるかと思い、2時間コースにしました。
その日の予約状況で変動するかと思いますが、送迎バスで到着後、乗馬の集合時間まで1時間ほど時間があったので売店を見たり馬と写真を撮ったりして待ちました。

乗馬が始まって、広大な敷地の山の裏付近まで行くって戻ってくるのですが、ガイドさんは最後までロケ地の案内などする事は一切なく、遅れをとっている馬に指図するだけで私達は景色を見ながら写真を撮ってただ乗っているだけです。なので途中で飽きてしまいました。

乗馬終了後は支持されたバスの出発時間まで2時間もありました。売店は小規模なので乗馬前の1時間で見尽くしてしまいましたし、レストランも全く魅力的ではない”社員食堂”っぽい雰囲気なので結局座ってひたすら待っていました。
待ち時間で疲労が溜まると思います。
レンタカーを借りれる方はレンタカーで現地集合する事をお勧めします。

The staff was very friendly! I hoped for a 150-meter flight. I was scared before getting on, but once I was in the air, time flowed gently and it felt really nice. While others were flying, I enjoyed the speed of the boat, so I got to enjoy both the boat and the sky! I highly recommend it! I really felt like I was in Hawaii, and I think it was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii!

係りの人がとてもフレンドリーでした！150メートルを希望しました。乗る前は怖かったですが、空を飛ぶとゆったりとした時間が流れてとても気持ちが良かったです。他の人が飛んでいて船に乗っている間は、船のスピード感を楽しめ、船と空で二度楽しめました(^O^)！とてもおすすめです！ハワイに来た実感がとてもわく、ハワイならではの体験になったと思います(^O^)

I was a bit anxious because the group from the previous day hadn't seen any dolphins, but after a little while, we saw sea turtles, whales, and in the end, we were able to swim with a pod of dolphins! ^_^

前日のグループがイルカを見れなかったと話してたか、不安でしたが、少しのると、ウミガメがいて、クジラがいて、最後はイルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました^_^

I rode a submarine for the first time! When I heard we would be at a depth of 30 meters, I thought it wouldn't be that deep. However, once we actually submerged, the scenery was completely different since we were underwater. It was very surreal.

Since we were sitting back-to-back, the people behind me seemed to get excited when they saw a whale, but I couldn't see anything from my side. On the way back, they said we might see it again since we would be turning around, but unfortunately, we didn't see anything.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました！
水深３０メートルと聞いて、あまり深くないのかなぁという印象。
実際に潜ってみると、海中にいるだけあって、景色も違います。
非常に幻想的でした。
背中合わせに座るので、背中側の人たちは鯨が見えたらしく盛り上がるものの、こちら側では見えず。帰りはＵターンするので見えるかもとのことでしたが、残念ながら見えず。

On December 1st, I participated with five friends during a training trip. I was worried because none of us could speak English, but the staff were very kind and mixed in a little Japanese while talking, which made me feel very relieved. Although the number of participants was odd, they prepared a setup for three people so that we could fly in groups of three and two. After flying, while we were waiting on the boat, they played music and engaged us in conversation, so we never got bored and had a lot of fun! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this again! Thank you very much!

12/1に、研修旅行の合間に友達5人と参加しました。
誰も英語が喋れないので不安だったのですが、スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、少し日本語も混ぜて話してくださったのでとても安心しました。
参加人数が奇数だったのですが、3人と2人で飛べるように、3人用のも用意してくれました。
飛び終わって船で待っている間も音楽をかけたり、たくさん話しかけてくれたので暇にならずとても楽しかったです！
もしハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対またやろうと思います！
ありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful experience standing in the ocean. Also, the sea at Sandbar Beach was incredibly beautiful. It was a tour I would love to go on again.

海の中に立っているという不思議な体験ができました。
又、サンドバービーチの海も最高にきれいでした。
もう一度行ってみたいツアーでした。

The food was okay and the show was good. Since the cruise was floating slow we felt seasick.

My husband and I LOVED this excursion!! We got to swim with sea turtles! It was absolutely amazing! Brad went out of his way to make our experience a great one and knew so much about the area. All of the crew were extremely accomodating and very courteous and personable. We went on a Monday morning and practically had the whole catamaran to ourselves (which they say isn’t normal, but was awesome!).
It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to take our kids to Hawaii and on this excursion!

An enjoyable trip and you will have plenty of time for each session of activity, including sandbar tour, snorkeling at private reef and burger lunch. It’s definitely worth for joining!

This was my third time at Dolphin University, and I was really looking forward to it since I had such a great time each previous visit!

I was picked up at 5:45 in front of DFS. Waking up early is tough, but it's worth it to meet the dolphins. We received some instructions on the bus, and once we arrived at the port, we boarded at 7:30 and set sail!

You can store your belongings in the shelf at your feet, but since they might get wet, it's better to keep them in a plastic bag or something similar. The boat swayed quite a bit, and many people ended up feeling seasick... To avoid turning this fun trip into a tough one, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!

Also, it gets really cold on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring $10 to rent a wetsuit! The captain decides whether to head north or south based on the day's conditions, and this time we went north.

About 30 minutes after departure, we received information that dolphins were nearby! We quickly put on our fins and masks and jumped into the sea. You have to jump in quickly, or you might miss the dolphins, so there's no time to feel scared! I jumped in swiftly and swam with all my might.

The result was incredibly satisfying; I got to see so many dolphins!! There were even baby dolphins, and they were so cute! I could see them swimming underwater and popping their heads up to the surface, and I took lots of videos and photos! When you dip your ears in the water, you can hear the dolphins' sounds!

The crew was friendly and fun, and we had a great time throughout the trip. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so communication was no problem at all! I definitely want to enroll again!

今回で3回目のイルカ大学、毎回とても楽しめたので期待大で臨みました！
5:45DFS前でピックアップ、早起きは辛いですがイルカと会うためなので仕方ないです。
バスの中で注意点などの説明を受け、港に着いたら7:30に乗船し出航！
荷物は足元の棚に収納できますが、濡れることがあるのでビニール袋等に入れておいた方がよさそうです。
船はまぁまぁ揺れるので、酔ってしまう人が続出でした…せっかくの楽しい旅が辛いものにならない為に、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします！
また船の上はとても寒いので、1人10ドル持って行ってウエットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います！
港から北に行くか南に行くかはその日の状態で船長さんが決めるそうで、今回は北側に進みました。
出航後30分程度でイルカがすぐ近くにいるとの情報をキャッチ！
すぐにフィンやマスクをつけて船から海に飛び込みます。
飛び込む時は早くしないとイルカに会えなくなるので怖いとか感じている暇はありません！
とにかく素早く飛び込み必死に泳ぎました。
結果は大満足、たくさんのイルカに会えました！！
赤ちゃんイルカもいてとても可愛かったです！
肉眼で水中を泳ぐ姿や海面に顔を出すところも見れましたし、動画や写真もたくさん撮れました！
水に耳を浸けるとキューというイルカの鳴き声も聞こえます！
クルーも親切で面白い人ばかり、終始盛り上がって楽しめました。
日本語の喋れるスタッフがいるのでコミュニケーションは全く問題ありません！
ぜひまた入学したいと思います！

I participated in the 150 meters.
Everyone else was a foreigner, but it was totally fine.
It's scarier than I expected because it's quite high.
You can get a great view of the hotel district in Honolulu and Diamond Head.
Tipping is optional, so I think it's fine to give a little if you'd like.

150メートルで参加しました。
私達以外は外国人でしたが全然平気です。
思っていた以上に高いので怖いです。
ホノルルのホテル街やダイヤモンドヘッドが一望出来ます。
チップは任意なので良かったら渡す程度で良いと思います。

We have a 4 and 7 year old. 4 year old had no interest in going in the water but really enjoyed the boat ride. The amount of time we were on the boat was just right for little ones (2-2.5 hours). Our 7 year old really wanted to snorkel with sea turtles and she saw several, so this was perfect. Super fun and really nice crew. They were kind to our kids and made sure that our little one got to see some fish and even pointed out sea turtles coming up for air so she didn’t feel like she missed out on anything. If you are comfortable with adult beverages being around, this is a great excursion for families with kids and beginner snorkelers. Compared to some of the other outfitters around, they are also very well-priced. Felt like this was a good value and an afternoon well spent.

Saki, our tour guide, was very entertaining, and the children were thrilled. We were also very satisfied to see dolphins early on. Thank you very much.

ツアーのさきちゃんがとても面白い方で子供たちも大喜びでした。
イルカも早々に見れて大満足でした。
ありがとうございました。

Thank you Romero for your super friendly and knowledgeable guide. His pick up to and from the falls was on time. We only booked the shuttle 2 nights before &no dramasWould recommend Veltra to anyone who wants a friendly & reliable service.

Since it was on a Friday, I was able to see both the sunset and the fireworks, which was great. I wish I could have seen the fireworks a little closer. It was my first cruise, and I was with friends this time, but I felt it was more geared towards couples and families.

金曜日の参加だったのでサンセット、花火両方見れましたよかったです。花火がもう少し近くで見れたらなって思いました。
クルーズ初めてで、今回は友達と一緒だったのですが、カップルや家族向けだなって思いました。

The weather was wonderful, and horseback riding while looking at the ocean was the best. The children were also very happy. Thank you very much.

お天気にも恵まれて海を見ながらの乗馬は最高でした。
子どもたちも喜んでいました。
ありがとうございました。

Around 6 AM, a bus will pick you up near the hotel. It's early in the morning, so I'm sleepy, but the guide on the bus explains about dolphins and more with quizzes, so I can't sleep (laughs).

Once we arrive at the port, there's a little time before boarding the boat, so it's a good time for a restroom break. There was also a cute cat! The bus driver even showcased his ukulele skills♪

In Hawaii, the sea is cold in November, so I rented a wetsuit. It costs $10 per person, and everyone in my group rented one. Even with the wetsuit, there were times when it was a bit chilly, so it's better to borrow one. Also, while the boat doesn't seem to rock too much, there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must! I regretted not taking it since I felt a bit queasy too★

Not long after boarding the boat, we dove into the sea because there was a pod of dolphins! I saw many dolphins swimming right in front of me. After coming back on the boat and moving to another spot, we dove again. I got to see them well the second time too, and I was able to take pictures with an underwater camera. It would have been even better if the dolphins had stayed a bit longer, but it was over in a flash.

After that, we went snorkeling and swam around in the sea. I saw a turtle up close. Apparently, you shouldn't get within 2 meters of the turtle. A staff member found an octopus somewhere and let me touch it while it was on his shoulder. It was slippery (laughs).

They brought out canoes, a slide, and stand-up paddleboards, and we all took turns playing. It was tough to stand on the paddleboard! But the staff were there to help. They even did a handstand on the paddleboard!!

Lastly, we got to see a whale, even if just a little. There are whale tours in winter, but seeing one in November is lucky☆

It was super fun, but there were two disappointing things. The information said they would take photos that you could buy later and that you would receive an eco-bag, but neither was available during my time. I really wanted a photo with the dolphins. I also wanted the eco-bag!

Other than those two points, it was a fun tour where I could fully enjoy Hawaii♪

朝6時頃にホテルの近くまでバスで迎えに来てくれます。朝早いから眠いけど、バスの中ではお姉さんがイルカ等についてクイズを交えて説明してくれるので寝れません(笑)
港に着いたら船に乗るまで少し時間があるのでトイレタイム。かわいい猫ちゃんもいました。バスの運転手さんがウクレレ披露してくれたりも♪

ハワイでも11月の海は冷たいのでウェットスーツをレンタル。1人10ドルで、私が参加した回は全員がレンタルしてました。ウェットスーツ着てても少し寒い時あったので、借りた方が良いです。あと船はそんなに揺れてないと思うけど、船酔いしちゃってる人もいたので酔い止めは必須です！私も少し船酔いしちゃったので酔い止め飲んでおけば良かったと後悔★

船に乗ってからそんなに時間が経たないうちにイルカの群がいたとのことで海にダイブ！目の前を横切っていくたくさんのイルカを見れました。1度船に上がり移動してからまたすぐにダイブ。2度目もしっかり見れて、水中カメラで撮れました。もうちょっとイルカがゆっくりその場にいてくれたらもっと最高だったけど、あっという間だったな～。
その後はシュノーケリングで海を回遊。カメもすぐ近くに見れました。カメには2m以内に近づいてはいけないらしい。スタッフさんがどこからかタコを見つけてきて肩に乗せてたので触らせてもらいました。ヌルッとしてた(笑)
カヌーや滑り台、スタンドアップパドルを出してくれてみんなで交代で遊びました。スタンドアップパドルは立つの難しかった～！でもスタッフさんがフォローしてくれます。なんとスタンドアップパドルの上で倒立してくれたりも！！
そして最後にちょこっとですがクジラを見ることができました。冬はクジラツアーあるけど、11月に見られるのはラッキー☆

すごい楽しかったけど、ちょっと残念だったことが2点。案内には写真撮ってくれて後で購入できるってこととエコバッグもらえるって書いてあったけど、私の時は両方ありませんでした。イルカと一緒の写真撮ってもらいたかったな～。エコバッグも欲しかった～！
この2点の他はハワイを満喫できる楽しいツアーでした♪
