Oahu
This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!
There was a morning call, and there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. The staff were all fun people, and the dancing was great. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see dolphins and swim with tropical fish. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I think I could have enjoyed it even more if I had been more accustomed to it. To make it a good memory, taking motion sickness medication is essential. There were a few people who got sick and looked like they were struggling.
モーニングコールもあり、日本語の出来るガイドさんもいたので安心♡
スタッフの皆さんも楽しい人たちでダンスもよかった。いい体験になりました。イルカも見れて熱帯魚とも泳げました♡
シュノーケル初体験だったので慣れていればさらに満喫出来たなぁって思います。よい思い出にするために酔い止めは必須。酔った人が何人かいて、しんどそうでしたよ。
Thank you for joining the tour to swim with dolphins! We are all very happy to have been able to help you create memories in Hawaii. Please try again next time. I think you'll enjoy it even more on your second visit.
イルカと泳ぐツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます!ハワイの思い出作りのお手伝いができたらスタッフ一同、とても嬉しいです。次回、また再挑戦してください。2回目だとさらに楽しめるかと思います。
I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was able to enter the ocean with a kickboard. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I want to take advantage of the scholarship program to try again. I had a lot of fun playing with sea turtles and tropical fish. The current in the ocean was strong, making it difficult to swim. The wind was also strong and it got cold, so I highly recommend borrowing a wetsuit (it's only $10). You can also buy the photo data for $50, so I recommend seeing and enjoying it with your own eyes.
泳ぎが苦手な私でしたが、ビート板を貸してもらって海に入ることができました。イルカを水中で確認することができなくてちょっと残念でしたが、(いたのに確認できなかったことが残念)奨学金制度を利用してリベンジしたいです。ウミガメやトロピカルフィッシュとはたくさん遊べました。海の流れが速く、泳ぐのが大変。風も強く体も冷えるので参加する人は是非ウエットスーツを借りてください。(10ドルで安いですよ)写真のデーターも50ドルで買えるので、自分の目でしっかり見て楽しむのがお薦めです。
Aloha, KERA,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. Although the ocean conditions seemed a bit unfavorable, I’m glad you had the valuable experience of swimming with sea turtles and the fish of Hawaii! Since the classes at Dolphin University involve nature, the conditions of each tour vary, so please do come back for a retry! We look forward to seeing you!
Mahalo,
Dolphin Office, Moe
Aloha, KERA様
この度は名門イルカ大学にご参加くださり有難うございました。
海のコンディションが少し悪かったようですが、ウミガメやハワイのお魚さんたちと泳ぐ
貴重な体験をしていただけて嬉しく思います!
イルカ大学の授業は自然を相手にしているので毎回ツアーのコンデションは違いますので、
ぜひぜひリベンジしに来てください!
お待ちしております!

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment
We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^
50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦!最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^
There is a shuttle service available, but we went to the North Shore by rental car. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the dock. You will enter a cage. You can see sharks while snorkeling inside the cage. There is a water shower available, but the only place to change is the restroom. I changed in the car. I think it's better to bring your own towels from the hotel.
送迎もありますが。私たちはレンタカーでノースショアまでいきました。
船着き場から20~30分ほどかかります。ケージの中にはいります。ケージの中でサメをシュノーケルでみます。水のシャワーは使えますが、トイレしか着替えるところはないです。私は車の中で着替えました。ホテルのタオルは持参したほうがいいと思います。
You can trek through a vast ranch on a retired thoroughbred that excelled in polo.
Holding the reins by yourself, you walk through the great outdoors with both uphill and downhill paths, and the view from the horse is truly wonderful! You can enjoy the scenery of Waimea Canyon.
The horses are well-trained and smart, so as long as you don't startle them, you can feel safe.
Although they are older horses retired from competition, their coats are shiny and beautiful.
You can ride for a full hour, so be sure to strengthen your inner thigh muscles! (laughs)
ポロ競技で活躍し今は引退したサラブレッドに乗って、広大な牧場の中をトレッキングできます。
自分一人で手綱を持って、上り坂・下り坂のある大自然の中を歩くのですが、馬上からみる眺めはやはり素敵です!ワイメア渓谷の風景が楽しめます。
馬たちは賢く調教されているので、彼らを驚かさない限りは安心です。
競技から引退した老齢な馬たちですが、毛並みや艶も良く、姿はとても綺麗です。
1時間たっぷり乗馬できるので、足のふともも(内転筋)を鍛えておきましょう!(笑)
Thank you for participating.
It's surprising how high it is when you ride a horse, isn't it? I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Please strengthen your muscles and join us again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございます。
馬に乗るとこんなに高いのかとびっくりしますよね。楽しまれたご様子、よかったです。
次回も筋肉鍛えてまたご参加下さい。
Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(
Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!
あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔(笑)
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別!
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね?
午後からフリーになるので、とても1日を有効に使えました!
A must-see for anyone visiting the Islands.
Lots of historical exhibits with helpful tour guides.
Lots of information for those not familiar with the events leading up to the attack.
As a history major and WW2 buff, this was a must-see for me, especially as my grandfather was aboard the USS Dobbin that morning.
Don’t forget to check out Ford Island and the airplane exhibits there.
Be sure to bring a few extra bills and leave donations in the boxes aboard the ships and help preserve our history for generations to come.
I really wanted to try this, so I made an online reservation the day before. During the experience, everything was in English, which made me a bit anxious as I couldn't fully understand the explanations, but the friendly staff communicated with gestures, so it wasn't a problem. My mother, who is turning 60, also had a great time, and it became the best memory of our mother-daughter trip! We chose the six-course option, but since it repeats the same course twice, the three-course option might be sufficient. Also, even though it includes transportation, it is quite expensive, so I give it four stars.
どうしてもやってみたくて、前日にネット予約。体験中は全て英語だったので説明を完全に理解できず不安でしたが、気さくなスタッフがジェスチャー交え教えてくれるので問題ありませんでした。還暦の母もとても楽しんでくれて、母娘旅の最高の思い出になりました!
私たちは6本コースにしましたが、同じコースを2回まわる内容なので、3本コースでいいかも。あと、送迎付きとはいえ結構高いので★4つで。
It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.
泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです!ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです!早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。
My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!
初のパラセーリング!
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです!
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした!ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです!私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました!
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です!
The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure
From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!
Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I decided to try learning how to surf. The board is big and heavy, which makes it stable, and I was able to stand up after just a few tries. You just go straight, but the beach is shallow, so even when you go out, you can stand up, and while paddling, the board's fins and your hands can touch the coral reef. So, you need to be careful of injuries when you fall. They lend you surf shoes at the school, but be cautious about everything else. However, this year in Hawaii is cold, and the water is chilly—hypothermia? After about an hour in the water, I started to shiver.
せっかくハワイに来るのだから、サーフィンを覚えようと行ってみました。
でかくて重いボードなので、安定していて数回で立てるようになります。まっすぐ進むだけですけど、現場のビーチは遠浅で沖に出ても、立てますしパドリング中ボードのフィンや手が珊瑚礁に触れます。ですのでひっくりかえったときは怪我に注意が必要です。足はサーフシューズをスクールで貸してくれますが、その他は気をつけましょう。ただ今年のハワイは寒い、水も冷たい、低体温症? 一時間ほど浸かっていると震えてきました。
We participated as a pair, and there were only two groups of participants, including us, which made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The guide and the other guests were foreigners who couldn't speak Japanese, but it was no problem as long as they understood simple English. With fewer people, it felt like we could take our time during the main parasailing activity. It was high and scary, but I felt like we were flying for quite a long time. If I have the chance to go during the off-season, I would love to go again.
2人で参加しましたが、参加者が私たちを含め2組しかおらずのんびり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんももう一組のお客さんも外国人で日本語が喋れない人たちでしたが、簡単な英語がわかれば全然問題ありません。
人が少ない分、メインのパラセイリングものんびり出来ていたような気がします。高くて怖かったけど、結構長時間飛べていた気がします。
オフシーズンにいくことがあれば、また行ってみたいです。
This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.
たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに・・・‼でも船上BBQハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。
It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.
天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう!スタッフもgood
I experienced the 120m. Even as someone with acrophobia, I had no issues being over the ocean. The staff were friendly and kind. I think it's a memorable activity. I recommend it.
120mを体験しました。高所恐怖症の私でも海の上だと問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々も気さくに親切にしてくれます。記憶に残るアクティビティだと思います。お勧めです
Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.
海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた!!言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。
Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.
船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。
The weather wasn't very good, starting off with a cloudy sky and occasional light rain. The participants were just the two of us and a young couple from abroad, making four in total. Before we began, we were asked to read and sign a simple agreement written in Japanese. The staff helped us choose our horses, and each of us received a brief explanation on how to ride and handle the reins before being placed on the horses.
All the conversations were in English, so I could somewhat understand, but I missed the finer details and just relied on observation and body language. Suddenly, the staff led us in a line, and we started. We quickly began walking along the coastal path. After walking on the sandy ground for a while, we moved onto some grassy areas. The pace was slow, but there were moments where we suddenly accelerated on slight inclines, which was interesting.
While on the grass, my horse started eating the surrounding grass as we walked, and it was a bit challenging to get it to stop. I think it was mentioned in the initial instructions, but I wish I had read it more carefully. After walking for a while, we stopped on flat ground for a commemorative photo. The staff took many pictures with our smartphones.
We then returned the way we came, but the horse of the foreign couple's female rider seemed a bit excited and suddenly started running and rearing up, which made her a little scared. We changed the order of the horses and brought that horse behind the staff, but it still didn't work out. In the end, we called for a replacement horse, and while waiting, we took more commemorative photos on the beach. By that time, the sun was beginning to set, and I thought how beautiful the sunset by the sea would have been if the weather had been nice. We waited for nearly 20 minutes in the dark.
The replacement horse arrived safely, and we headed back. Due to the incident, our horseback riding session lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. The couple seemed fine as they were conversing in English, but I worried a bit about what would have happened if it had been us, as we wouldn't have been able to communicate. However, the staff handled the situation calmly, so it might be a common occurrence. The only disappointment was the weather, but the horseback riding itself was very enjoyable, and I would love to try it again when the weather is nice.
天気があまりよくなくて曇り空~時々小雨がぱらつく中でのスタートでした。
参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の若いカップルの4人。
始まる前に同意書など簡単な説明が日本語で書いてあるものを読まされサイン。スタッフがそれぞれの馬を選んでくれて一人ずつ
乗り方と簡単な手綱の扱い方の説明を受けていきなり馬に乗せられました。
すべて会話は英語なので何となく理解はできましたが細かいことはわからずただただ見様見真似とボディランゲージで・・
いきなりスタッフ先頭で4人が一列になってスタート。
すぐに海岸の道を歩き始めます。しばらく砂地を歩いたら少し中のほうの草地を歩いたり・・歩くのはゆっくりですが少し坂になっているところなどは急に加速したり変化があり面白かったです。
草地では馬が歩きながら周りの草を食べてしまいそれをやめさせるように扱うのが少し難しかったです。最初の説明書に書いてあったような気がするのですがもっとちゃんと読んでおけばよかった^^;
しばらく歩いて平らなところで記念撮影。スタッフが私たちのスマホでたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
そこからまた来た道を戻りましたが、外人カップルの女性の馬が少し興奮気味?で急に走り出したり前足上げて立ち上がったりしてしまって
その女の子も少し怖がっていたようです。歩く順番を変えてスタッフの次にその馬を持ってきましたが、やはりだめで最後は電話連絡して代わりの馬を連れてきてもらい交代。待っている間浜辺でまた記念撮影、そのころもう日が沈みかけていたので天気が良ければきっと海辺のサンセットがきれいだったんだろうな。。と思いながら暗闇の中20分近く待っていました。
無事に代わりの馬が来て帰路に。。アクシデントがあったので1時間45分の乗馬になりました。彼女たちは英語で会話していたので大丈夫そうでしたがもし私たちのほうだったら言葉が通じないのでどうなっていたか少し心配になりましたが、スタッフは落ち着いて対応していたのでよくあることなのかもしれません。天気だけが残念でしたが乗馬自体はとても面白く、また天気が良い時に乗ってみたいと思いました。
It was disappointing that the instructor who was in charge seemed to favor my beautiful friend. My friend also noticed this and mentioned that the treatment felt unnatural. Even though it was my first time, for some reason, my friend was leading while I was left stranded in the middle of the ocean, being told to make my way back on my own, which made me anxious several times. ^^ There were also many photos of my friend. Since the service was inconsistent, I’m giving it a lower rating. I do not recommend it.
担当してくださった講師の先生は美人な友人に贔屓めだったのが残念。友人もそれには気付いていたようで対応が不自然だと言っていました。初めてなのになぜか友人だけリードして私だけ海の真ん中に取り残されて自力で来いと言われて不安になった事が何度も^^;写真も友人が多かったです。対応にムラがあるので星は少なめ。お勧めはしません。
I would recommend this adventure our photographer was amazing he got a school of dolphins too.There was an octopus right with my husband and the photographer there and turtles.Lots of beautiful fish.
Excellent crew made sure everyone was comfortable and also made sure everyone got to snorkel with the turtles.
Had a great time especially for the price it was a great value
I read in the reviews that there was no need to pay, but it was incredibly fun and the best experience!
1. The Lot Ticket Tour allowed us to enter the world of movies and experience Jurassic Park!
2. The Jungle Tour was amazing because we had a driver with incredible driving skills, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
3. The Garden Tour was nice since it was a botanical garden.
My child is 9 years old, and while we couldn't do the buggy or horseback riding, this choice was the best.
I've experienced various optional tours abroad, but this was the most enjoyable.
My image of Hawaii has completely changed.
It is indeed pricey, but it's worth it!
The meals were also suited for Japanese tastes, like teriyaki chicken.
口コミには、払う必要が無いって書いてましたが、とんでもなく楽しくて最高でした!
①ロチケツアーは、映画の世界に入れて、ジェラシックパークを体感できました!!
②ジャングルツアーは、ドライビングテクニックが、凄い方に当たったので、ジェットコースターのように、楽しめました。
③ガデーンツアーは、植物園なので、それなりに、良かった。
子供は9才ですが、バギーも馬も無理でしたが、
このチョイス最高。
海外のオプシナルツアーを色々体験してますが、1番楽しめました。
ハワイのイメージ激変。
確かにお高いですが、良いです!
食事も日本人向きでした。照り焼きチキン(^-^)
Chartered bus and boat with meals included. They also lend you masks and fins, so you don't have to worry about arranging those yourself. The meals are sufficient considering the location, and the prices are attractive compared to other companies. This tour is one of the few that allows snorkeling near the coral reefs and accepts children. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather, so I will participate again. Next time, I will dive in without a life jacket from the start!
バスと船のチャーターおまけに食事付き。マスクとフィンも貸してくれますので、自分で手配する煩わしさを考えると言うこと無しでしょう。
食事も場所を考えると充分ですし、価格も他社比較でも魅力的です。
サンゴ礁付近でスノーケリングができて、子供の参加を受け付けてくれるのはこのツアーくらいでは?
残念ながら天候に恵まれなかったので、また参加します。次回は最初からライフジャケット無しで潜りまくります!
Swimming with turtles and sailing with dolphins was amazing! It felt like a great deal for the price. I participated in the morning session, and there were hardly any Japanese people, so it was a deep American tour.
カメと一緒に泳げ、イルカと一緒にセーリング出来て最高でした!
値段の割にかなりお得感があります。
午前中の時間帯に参加したのですが、日本人がほとんどいなくてディープなアメリカンなツアーでした
