From a beach about an hour by bus from Waikiki, we took a boat to the dolphin habitat. Since it was early in the morning, I boarded the boat still feeling sleepy, but the nice weather and sea breeze woke me up completely. The captain sensed the atmosphere where dolphins might be and stopped the boat. In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the dolphin habitat, put on our snorkels and fins, and jumped into the sea.

While swimming in the ocean, I had the fun experience of seeing dolphins from various angles! I wonder how the captain can easily tell where the dolphins are. I'm curious...

I was fortunate enough to have three opportunities to see them! For those who have fewer chances, the instructors guide you and create opportunities to see the dolphins, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine!

Additionally, I was able to see dolphins swimming in groups and alongside the boat, which gave a lively and free impression, quite different from what you see in an aquarium. It's important to maintain an environment where wild dolphins can thrive.

At Dolphin University, after dolphin watching, we had free time to enjoy turtles, tropical fish, stand-up paddleboarding, and slides! The staff kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun experience for families, couples, and friends alike.

Thanks to this experience, I was exhausted and fell asleep on the bus ride back. I graduated safely!

ワイキキからバスで１時間弱の海岸から、船でイルカ生息域まで行きました。
朝早かったので、眠気眼のまま船に乗り込みましたが、良い天気と海の風でスッキリ目が覚めました。
イルカの居そうな雰囲気を船長が察知し船を停留。10分足らずでイルカ生息域までついて、シュノーケルとフィンを身に着け、いざ海へ。
海の中で泳ぎながら、さまざまな角度からイルカを見る体験をすることができ、楽しかったです！
どうやってイルカが居そうな場所が簡単にわかるんだろう。気になる。。。

私は幸運にも３回も機会に恵まれました♪機会が少ない人は、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれて、見る機会を作ってくれるので、泳ぎが得意でない方でも大丈夫！

また、イルカが群れになって泳いでいく姿や、船とともに泳ぐ姿なども見ることができ、水族館で見る姿とは異なり、自由で快活な印象を受けました～。野生のイルカが生息できる環境維持って、必要ですね(^^♪

イルカ大学では、イルカウォッチングの後、自由時間があるため、亀や熱帯魚たち、SUPやスライダーなども楽しむことができました！
スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれるので、家族連れやカップル、友人同士など様々なお客さんがいた中、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。

おかげさまで、帰りのバスでは、疲れて爆睡でしたzzz
無事大学卒業！

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

The staff spoke only broken Japanese, but most of the communication was in English, and they were friendly with a sense of humor. It felt refreshing to be at a place that was more expensive than the hotel I stayed at in Waikiki.

スタッフの方は片言の日本語を話すだけで
殆どが英語でしたがフレンドリーでジョークもあり。
ワイキキの宿泊ホテルより高く上がり気分爽快でした。

The weather was nice, and it felt great. I could see a beautiful view over the blue sea. It felt wonderful to soar high in the sky! I definitely want to do it again.

天気が良くてとてもきもちがよく青い海の上でとても綺麗な景色がみえました。
空高く上がりとてもきもちよかったです！
ぜひまたやりたいです。

I made a last-minute reservation just one day ago and went! It was fun! The round-trip shuttle service to and from the hotel was great!

1日前に直前予約して、いきました！
たのしかったです！ホテルまでの行き帰り送迎もあるし、よかったです！

I would highly recommend doing this adventure! This was my second time but my husband, and 2 kids (ages 10 & 7) first time. Easy to find the location and the people were very friendly. It was easy to do and once you catch the wave, it's so exhilarating. It is very cool to see Waikiki Beach from the ocean too! Such a great memory to share with my family.

The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!

今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ！！ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高！！マンタも見れました！！
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて（160センチの私で腰くらい）びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります！クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます！のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした！！

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

We participated in a trip to Hawaii with my two nieces and my husband, making it a memorable experience on April 27, during the first half of Golden Week. Since we were staying at the Hilton, we walked to the nearby harbor meeting point, which was easy to find. Only my nieces actually "flew," while my husband and I observed from the boat that was towing them, so I thought we would be sharing the experience with other participants, but luckily it was a private tour. Right after boarding, we quickly bonded with the local American crew, and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful, allowing our whole family to have a great time! However, the moment when my nieces suddenly soared high into the sky during the takeoff was a bit nerve-wracking. It was just a little over a 30-minute experience, but both my nieces and we were able to create unforgettable memories!

GW前半を利用して姪たち２人と私たち夫婦の４人でのハワイ旅行の「めだま」として４月27日に参加しました。ヒルトンに滞在していたためすぐお隣のハーバーの集合場所（すぐわかりました）へは徒歩で行きました。実際に「飛行（なのかしら）」するのは姪たち２人だけで私たち夫婦は牽引するボートからの見学でしたので、他の参加者さんたちとの「相乗り」かな、と考えていましたがラッキーなことに貸切でした。乗船直後から現地のアメリカ人クルーの人たちともすぐに打ち解け終始和気あいあいの雰囲気で家族全員とても楽しめました！ただ飛空準備体勢から姪っ子たちが「あっ」という間に空高く舞い上がって行く瞬間はちょっとドキドキしました。わずか３０分あまりの体験でしたが姪たちも私たちも忘れられない思い出を作ることが出来ました！

The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.

ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした！
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした！
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。

The day began with an exciting morning call, and while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I listened to the safety instructions and equipment explanations in the stylish bus, which really got my spirits up. Above all, the high energy of the staff was infectious. With their thoughtful attention to detail and unique personalities, the atmosphere on the boat felt like a party, and it was so much fun.

At the dolphin point, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming slowly right beneath me. At another spot, the water was so clear it felt like I was not even underwater, and I had wonderful memories swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, losing track of time. I also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and hula lessons, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's a tour that interacts with nature, but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond just the dolphins, so I highly recommend it.

*To those participating: Depending on the season, I recommend renting a wetsuit. My wife loved the logo and ended up buying it.*

The parasailing was the highlight of our visit to Honolulu! Check in was easy and the crew was fantastic. They made the activity that much more special and fun. Would highly recommend!

The whole tour from start to finish was breath taking! Truely an experience of a lifetime. To be able to go under the waters depths and see the hawaiian pyramids and see the marine life in their natural habitat . Loved it

I had an incredibly fun time. However, it might be a bit scary because it's quite expensive. Since you go out to sea by boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. In the end, you definitely have to get your feet wet, so I think it's essential to participate in swimwear.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。あとは、高すぎて少し恐怖を感じることもあるかもしれません。船で沖まで出るので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。最後は必ず足だけ水中に浸かりますので、水着での参加必須だと思いました。

We participated as a couple in our 50s. Everyone else was either a young couple or a young group, and I was a bit anxious since I'm not great with heights, but I had a lot of fun. We flew for quite a long time, took many photos, and enjoyed taking pictures and videos with each other's smartphones, spending a great time together. I highly recommend it.

私たちは50代の夫婦で参加しました。
一緒になった人は皆若いカップルだったり若いグループで、私は少し高い所が苦手なのでちょっと不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
結構長い時間飛んでいて、写真も沢山撮っていただいたし、一緒になった人たちとは順番にお互いのスマホで写真や動画を取り合い楽しい時間を過ごせました。
おすすめです。

Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.

From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.

There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."

魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの１つ」と呟いていました。

The sea has a very shallow coral reef, which may vary depending on the time of day and season. In shallow areas, the coral can be about 50 centimeters deep, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured.

While explanations are available in Japanese, the level of danger is such that it doesn't help much. I was fine, but someone in my group did get hurt.

Additionally, the waves are weak, and beginners who are not used to paddling will find themselves unable to do anything without the instructor pushing their board, leading to a lot of waiting time.

These issues are not the fault of the instructors or the tour office; they are problems with Waikiki Beach itself. If you participate in activities at Waikiki Beach, you might find it difficult to enjoy anything. However, if you go snorkeling, you might be able to see the coral and have some fun.

時間帯や季節によるかもしれませんがかなり遠浅な珊瑚礁のある海です。浅いところは珊瑚が50センチ位な所もあり運悪いと怪我します
その辺は日本語で説明を受けられますが説明を受けてもどうにもならないレベルで危険
私は大丈夫でしたがグループ内で怪我をした方がいました

また波も弱くパドリングになれていない初心者ではインストラクターに板を押してもらわないと何も出来なくて待ち時間ばかりになります

これらはインストラクターやツアー営業所の問題ではなくワイキキビーチの問題です。ワイキキビーチでのアクティビティに参加すると何をやってもダメでしょう
シュノーケリングならばもしかすると珊瑚が見れて楽しいかもしれない

I went with a group of friends and we had a blast! The staff was amazing and explained everything to us. They also reminded everyone of the importance of treating the animals with respect which made us very happy!

The staff were interesting and it was fun. Also, the view was amazing. If the weather is good, I think it will be a really great experience. However, I get seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to it.

スタッフの方が面白い方で楽しかった。また、眺めも最高でした。天気が良ければ、ほんとにいい体験になると思います。ただ船酔いするので、乗り物酔いする方は必ず酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。

The transportation and guide were in English, but it was at a level that was manageable even for those who are not good at English. They suggested taking photos for a fee and providing the SD card, but if you decline, there’s no pressure to buy, and they explain everything in advance, which is reassuring! You can also choose whether or not to land in the water!

I participated with my parents, who are over 60, and they seemed to enjoy it without fear even at 130 meters. The tip is separate; we gave $40 for the four of us when we got off the boat! Additionally, the pickup for the outbound trip was at a designated location near our accommodation, but for the return, they dropped us off right in front of the hotel. The vehicle for transportation had a case for tips, and I put in some change and about $2.

I am very satisfied.

送迎もガイドも英語でしたが、英語が苦手でも平気なレベルでした。有料で写真を撮ってSDカードごと渡すことができると進められますが、断れば押し売りされることもないし、ちゃんと事前に説明してくれるので安心！着水するかしないかも選べます！
60歳を越えている両親と参加しましたが、130mでも怖くなく楽しかったようです。チップは別で、船を降りる時に4人で$40渡しました！また、送迎は行きの集合は宿泊先近隣の指定された場所でしたが、帰りはホテル前まで送ってくれました。送迎の車にはチップを入れるケースがついてて、小銭と$2ぐらい入れておりました。
大満足です。

My husband and I decided to take the atv tour for our anniversary while vacationing in Oahu. We are both very satisfied with the tour and the guide (Pablo). We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the gorgeous views to see throughout the tour. There were 6 of us in a group and I thought that was nice and just enough people. We are very happy we decided to take this ride. The Kualoa Ranch has many things to do and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is my fourth consecutive year using this service. The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The view from horseback is truly amazing. I will use it again.

4年連続の利用になります。
天気にも恵まれ気持ちのいい時間を過ごせました。
馬上からの景色は本当最高です。
また利用します。

The tour was exciting, and the progress was smooth, making it enjoyable without getting bored! It was a bit cloudy due to the volcanic eruption, but I was satisfied. However, the hamburger for lunch was cold, so I would have preferred to eat it while it was warm.

ツアーの盛り上げ方、進行がスムーズで飽きずに楽しめました！噴火の影響で少し曇ってましたが、満足できました。
ただ、お昼のハンバーガーは冷めていたので
あったかいうちに食べたかったです

I participated in a three-generation family trip! My father had been hoping to see a submarine! I was so moved when I saw it emerge from the sea before diving!! However, once we dove, there were not many fish to see. I was expecting to see a variety of fish, but there was a lot of time spent just looking at the endless seabed, with only occasional fish…

3世代家族旅行で参加しました！
父が希望していた、潜水艦！潜る前に海から現れる姿を見て見たときは、感動しましたー！！
が、いざ潜ると、魚少ないのですね〜
もう少し色々な魚が見られるのかな？と期待していましたが、果てしなく続く海底を眺める時間も多く、たまに魚…という感じでした、汗

The weather on the day was unfortunately cloudy with occasional rain. I headed out to the sea feeling a bit anxious, but we weren't blessed with clear skies, as it drizzled lightly along the way. However, the scenery was beautiful, and it felt really nice.

I wanted to capture the moment as a keepsake, so I requested a photo shoot for an additional $30 (I gave the tip at this time). They took pictures with the plane flying by, and when it was cloudy, they adjusted the location to catch any breaks in the clouds!

Basically, the staff members do not speak Japanese, but they were all bright and friendly! By the way, the boat can sway quite a bit, so if you're worried about motion sickness, it's a good idea to take some medication.

You can bring simple items as your carry-on: a bath towel, sunglasses, a tip, and $30 for the photo request. It can get chilly on the boat, so it's better to bring a rash guard. If you put your smartphone in a waterproof case that you can hang around your neck, you'll be able to take pictures when you go up.

当日の天気が、あいにくの曇り時々雨。
ハラハラしながら海上へ向かったんですが、途中軽く雨が降ったりで快晴には恵まれませんでした。でも、景色も良くてとても気持ち良かったです。
記念として残したかったので、+30ドルで写真撮影もお願いしました。（チップはこの時に渡しました）飛行機が飛んだりしてると一緒に撮ってくれたり、曇りの時は晴れ間があると場所を調整してくれたりして撮ってくれますよ！
基本的にスタッフの方々は日本語は喋れませんが、みんな明るくて親切な方々ばかりでした！
ちなみに、結構船が揺れるので心配な方は酔い止め薬は飲んだ方がいいです！
手荷物は簡単なものでＯＫ。バスタオル１枚、サングラス、チップと、写真をお願いする時は30ドル。船上は寒かったりする事もあるので、ラッシュガードは持って行った方がいいです。
スマホは首から提げる防水タイプのケースに入れておくと、上に上がった時に撮影出来ると思いますよ。

I took my 7.3-year-old daughter to participate in Dolphin Touch (without swimsuits). We boarded a large bus with participants from various locations and set off! It was cold inside the bus, so a jacket is necessary. The scenery on the way was beautiful.

The location is surrounded by the sea and mountains, and just being there is healing. There is a "Wolphin," a mix of a whale and a dolphin, which exists only in two places in the world.

The birdhouse was an incredibly fun experience, where you can feed the birds inside. Many beautiful birds perched on our hats and hands, and the kids were super excited! Additionally, there were sea turtles, opportunities to feed fish, and a small slide, making it a place full of activities.

7,3歳の娘を連れってドルフィンタッチ(水着なし)に参加。大きなバスに各所から参加者が乗り込んで出発！バス内が寒く、、上着必要です。
着くまでの景色が綺麗でした。
場所は海と山に囲まれた所で、いるだけで癒されます。世界で二頭しかいない、クジラとイルカが混ざった、”ウォルフィン”がいます。
鳥小屋がとにかく面白い体験で、小屋内で餌をあげれます。帽子や手に綺麗な鳥が沢山止まり、子どもも大興奮‼︎ その他、ウミガメもいたり魚に餌やりが出来たり、ちょっとした滑り台があったり、遊びが満載でした。

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.

妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

The driver who guided us was very kind and taught us various things about Hawaii.

Horseback riding is enjoyable even for beginners, and it seems they choose riders based on the horse's personality! We just walked in a line at a slow pace, but riding along the beach and through the forest is soothing and relaxing. It seems that they don't cancel even with a little rain!

For individual bookings, there are courses that last about two hours where you can also run, but that seems to be completely for advanced riders!

案内していただいた運転手さんも親切でハワイのことを色々と教えていただきました。

乗馬は初心者でも楽しく遊べて、馬の性格に合わせて乗せる人を選んでるようですね！
一列になりゆっくり歩くだけですが海岸や森林の中を乗馬するのは心地よく癒されます。
多少の雨でも中止はないみたいですねw

個人での申し込みでは、２時間くらいのコースもあり走らせることも出来るようですが完全に上級者用ですねw
