It was the most exciting experience in my life. Everything was awesome - the sand bar, sea turtles, friendly staff, yummy hamburgers, above all, snorkeling in the sea. I will definitely do it again.

The best adventure I had it was simply awesome ..

We had a great time with four girls.
We wanted to eat delicious food, go shopping, and play at the beach. This activity was perfect for us!
The experience time was short, but it was really enough!
The captain got us all excited and our energy was at its peak!
Since it was just girls, our canoe looked a bit weak (laughs).
I think the captain really worked hard (laughs).
The moment we rode the waves felt amazing!

女の子4人で楽しみました。
おいしいものも食べて買い物もしたい、ビーチでも遊びたい。そんなわたしたちにはぴったりなアクティビティでした！
体験時間は短めですが、ほんとうに十分でした！
キャプテンが盛り上げてくれテンションマックス！
女の子だけだったのでわたしたちのカヌーは弱そう(笑)
キャプテンがかなりがんばってくれたと思います(笑)
波に乗った瞬間はすごく気持ちよかったです！

There were more people than I expected, and there was hardly any time for snorkeling at the sandbar, so it felt rushed. That's a bit disappointing. However, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles well, so that was a positive aspect.

思ったより人数が多く、サンドバーでのシュノーケルは、ほとんど時間がなく、慌ただしかったです。
ちょっと残念。
ただ、海は綺麗でしたし、カメも良く見れましたので、その点は良かったかなと。

I had heard that the water level at Sandbar varies with the tides, so I went without too many expectations. Indeed, the water was up to my waist, but I had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball. The sea was much clearer than in Waikiki, and I'm glad I went. I'm also grateful for the excellent service from the reservation staff.

サンドバーは潮の満ち引きにより、海水の高さが違うとは聞いていましたので、あまり期待はせずに行きました。
確かに腰のあたりまで海水はありましたが、ビーチバレーなどもできて楽しかったです。
ワイキキよりもはるかに海もきれいで、いってよかったです。
予約の担当者もとてもいい対応をしてくれて感謝しています。

I went with my grandmother and family, and the staff who spoke Japanese were very attentive, so my grandmother was able to enjoy herself without worry. The BBQ (hamburger) that was grilled on the boat was surprisingly delicious. It was amazing to see sea turtles up close. The only downside was that the sandbar had water up to our waists, so it wasn't really an island. There was no place to change on-site, so I spread a bath towel on the bus seat to avoid getting it wet on the way back, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold.

おばあちゃんと家族で行ったのですが、日本語のできるスタッフさんがすごく面倒似てくれるのでおばあちゃんでも安心して楽しめました。船上で焼いてもらったBBQ（ﾊﾝﾊﾞｰｸﾞ）がとても美味しくて意外でした。ウミガメも近くで見れて最高です。残念だったのはサンドバーが腰ぐらい水があり島になっていないところです。現地で着替えるところはないので、帰りのバスのシートが濡れないようにバスタオルを引いてました、エアコンが効きすぎて寒かったです。

This was my first ride and the one activity that was more for me than the birthday boy, he did enjoy it as well though!! Our guides were awesome and even remembered our names although It was a group of 6... Only wish is that it was a little later so that we could have gotten a darker sky with more colors!!
Very calm and relaxing activity!!

I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so even though I was alone, I signed up!

The bus had the logo of Dolphins and You, making it easy to find. Once on the bus, I filled out a consent form on the iPad (in Japanese). We departed for the ocean to the west, about an hour from Waikiki. The bus was very clean and had a TV where we watched safety guides. They really make good use of travel time!

When we arrived at the port, there was a restroom break. There is also a restroom on the boat, but it's only for emergencies, so I recommend going beforehand. After receiving a wetsuit (USD 10.00), fins, and a snorkel mask, we boarded the boat! I was worried because it was windy that day, but the blue sky and blue ocean were so beautiful! Once we set off, I completely forgot about the wind and was super excited.

First, we searched for dolphins. The captain looked for them with his eyes. Once we spotted a pod of dolphins, we quickly got ready and jumped into the sea from the boat! I can swim, but since it was my first time snorkeling, I hesitated a bit... However, I felt safe with a life jacket on and the crew accompanying me. When I opened my eyes underwater, I saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins on the surface! And when I looked down, there was a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully beneath me!! I was so moved (*'▽').

Next, we set off for the second snorkeling spot, which was a paradise with sea turtles and tropical fish! It was amazing enough to swim with dolphins, but getting to swim with sea turtles too was just incredible~☆ Perhaps it was a backup plan in case we couldn't see dolphins. There, we enjoyed a boat slide and snorkeling. The sea turtles come up to the surface to breathe, so it’s important not to be directly in front of them, and the crew was strict about this for those who accidentally got too close. It’s impressive that this tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes nature conservation.

Eating burgers for lunch under the sun was the best! You could also choose your favorite mini chips. On the boat, the crew performed hula dances and let us go out on the captain's deck, providing great entertainment! Even as a solo traveler, they welcomed me as part of the 'ohana, which was reassuring. On the way back, they played the photos and videos taken that day, allowing us to relive the memories (they are also available for purchase).

I definitely want to do this again! The feeling of becoming one with the ocean is something everyone should try!

ずっと、イルカと泳ぐのが夢だったので、ひとりだったのですが申し込んじゃいました！

バスはDolphins and youとロゴが書いてあって簡単に見つかりました。バスに乗ったら、すぐにipadに書いてある同意書（日本語記載）を記入します。ワイキキから1時間くらいの西の海に出発します。
バスはとてもきれいで、TVつきでSafetyガイドなどを見ます。移動の時間も無駄にしないところがさすがですね！

港についたらトイレ休憩があります。ボートにもトイレはありますが緊急時のみ利用ということなので、あらかじめいっていくことをおすすめします。
ウェットスーツ（USD10.00）、フィン、シュノーケルマスクをもらったらボート乗船！
当日は風が強くて心配していましたが、ハワイならではの青い空、青い海！！
出発したら風のことなんて忘れてテンションあがりまくりでした。

まずは目的のいるか探し。キャプテンが肉眼で探します。いるかの群れをみつけたら、
急いで支度してボートから海へジャンプ！私は泳げるのですが、それでもはじめてのシュノーケリングだったのですこし尻込みしました。。。でも、ライフジャケットもつけていますし、クルーの人が一緒にきてくれるので安心しました。
そして海の中で目をあけると、水面にいるかの背びれが！そして、反対側を見ると自分のしたに
いるかの群れがすいすい泳いでいました！！顔を必死に水につけて凝視！
感動しました(*'▽')

次は第二のシュノーケリングスポットへ再出発。そこには、なんとウミガメと熱帯業のパラダイス！！イルカだけでも感動なのに、ウミガメとも泳がせてくれるなんて、素晴らしすぎる～☆
きっと、イルカが見れないときのための保険なのかもしれませんね。
そこでは、ボート滑り台とシュノーケリングをしました。
ウミガメは水面にあがって息継ぎをするので、真正面にいてはいけないらしく、クルーはたまたまいてしまったひとには厳しく注意していました。エコフレンドリーということで自然保護の照明をもらっているツアーならではで、さすがですね。

ランチのバーガーも太陽の下で食べるのは最高！ミニチップスも好きなものを選べます。
船上では、クルーがフラダンスをしたり、キャプテンデッキに出させてくれたり、
エンターテイメントが充実！ひとりでもオハナといって、受け入れてくれて心強かった～。
帰りのバスではその日とった写真やビデオを流してくれて余韻にひたれました。（購入も可能らしいです）

またリピートしたいです！海と一体化する感覚、皆様もぜひお試しあれ！

We decided to try parasailing, and since we were at it, we challenged ourselves to the highest option at 150 meters!

The staff and the other participants were all foreigners, but everyone was incredibly kind, and they provided us with a Japanese instruction manual, which made me feel at ease (*^_^*)

I ended up being the first one to go, and without having mentally prepared myself, I was suddenly up in the air at 150 meters. The wind was quite strong that day, causing a lot of turbulence, and to be honest, I underestimated what 150 meters would feel like—it was pretty scary (laughs). However, the weather was nice, and once I got used to it, I was able to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii!

Just a heads up, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit nauseous up there, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. I was really happy that the staff kept checking on me after we returned to the boat.

I had a great time taking photos with the other participants and joking around with the staff on the way back to the port. Thank you so much!!*\(^o^)/*

パラセイリングをやってみたいという話になり、せっかくならと一番高い150メートルに挑戦しました！

スタッフさんも一緒に乗った方も外人さんばかりでしたが、皆さんすごく親切で、日本語の説明書を渡してくださったので安心しました(*^_^*)

まさかの一番手で、心の準備もできないまま150メートルの上空へ。
この日は風がかなり強かったためものすごく揺れ、正直150メートルなめてたなと思うぐらい怖かったですが（笑）、天気が良く、慣れてくるとすごく綺麗なハワイの景色を見ることができました！

ただ、酔い止めを飲んでても上空から酔ってしまったので、酔いやすい方は注意かもしれません。
船に戻ってからスタッフさんがずっと気にかけてくださったので嬉しかったです。

一緒に乗った方たちと写真の取り合いをしたり、港までの帰りにスタッフさんとふざけた写真を撮ったりして、本当に楽しい時間を過ごせました*\(^o^)/*
ありがとうございました！！

Wonderful entertainment. Beautiful view of Waikiki. Nice food. Great night out with the family.

Great experience awesome photographer reasonable price !!!! It was fun tons of turtles and fish ..

I participated in a morning plan that was not too strenuous since I have a one-year-old daughter. The timing felt just right and I didn’t think it was too short. There was a downpour at one point, but we were blessed with great weather at the sandbar. On the boat, I was comfortable in just a rash guard. The light snacks included simple sandwiches and drinks. We were able to see sea turtles, and my daughter was delighted. The staff was very considerate of the children, which made me feel safe participating! I recommend using a waterproof cover for your phone.

一歳の娘がいたので、あまり無理のない、午前中プランで参加しました。時間はちょうど良く短いとは感じませんでした。途中スコールが降ったりもしましたが、サンドバーではとてもいい天気に恵まれました。船の上はラッシュガード一枚で過ごせました。軽食は簡単なサンドウィッチとドリンクでした。ウミガメも見れ、娘も喜んでいました。スタッフの皆さんが子供にとても配慮してくれて、安心して参加できました！！携帯は水用のカバーをオススメします。

I visited the filming locations of Jurassic World and other movies, enjoyed a boat ride around the fish farming ponds, and explored the jungle in a jeep-like vehicle. It was a fun and surprisingly thrilling activity.

The jungle exploration, in particular, involved driving at quite a speed on bumpy roads, and at times, I felt like I might be thrown off. It was more thrilling than a poorly designed amusement park ride. The driver was a middle-aged woman with impressive driving skills; she drove safely in truly dangerous areas and even made a stop to take us up a mountain path to a secret viewpoint, which was a wonderful experience.

Regarding the jungle exploration, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable with speed, children, or elderly individuals, but it's highly recommended for those who want to enjoy some thrills. Personally, I feel like I want to participate again!

ジュラシックワールドその他映画のロケ地をめぐり、養殖池を船で遊覧したり、ジープのような車でジャングルを探検したり、楽しく、意外にもにもスリリングなアクティビティでした。
特にジャングル探検は、でこぼこ道をかなりのスピードで走り回り、時々振り落とされそうになりながらのドライブで、遊園地のヘタなアトラクションよりスリルがありました。ドライバーは中年女性でしたが、なかなかのドライビングテクニックで、本当に危険なところでは安全運転でしたし、途中下車して10分位山道を登り、秘密の絶景ポイントにも連れて行って下さいましたし、とても楽しく過ごす事ができました。ジャングル探検に関しては、スピードが苦手な方、子供、ご高齢の方にはお勧めしませんが、スリルを楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。私個人はまた参加したい気分です！

It was a trip to Hawaii with my parents and my three daughters, who are each married. Even my father, who couldn't go into the ocean, was happy to see sea turtles and manta rays. The local staff were very kind, and the lunch burgers were delicious, leaving us very satisfied ❤️

実家の両親とそれぞれ結婚した娘3人の5人でのハワイ旅行でした。
海には入れない父もウミガメやマンタに会えて喜んでました。現地のスタッフさんもとても親切で、ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく、大満足でした❤️

The tides can vary, so there might be some unpredictability, and it seems we hit the highest tide, which felt more like swimming in a shallow area than at a sandbar. It's hard to predict these things, and I felt a bit disappointed. However, the hospitality from the staff, including the explaining lady and the foreign staff members, was exceptional. If the sand had been visible and we had the same staff for this tour, I believe it would have been the best experience in Hawaii. Since we can't control the weather and nature, I recommend that those with a longer travel itinerary check the tides before going.

潮の満ち引きによりあたりはずれがあるのでしょうが一番満潮にあたってしまったようで、サンドバーというよりは浅瀬で泳いだという感じでした。
なかなか予測はできないのでしょうが、残念な気がしました。
ところが説明のお姉さんや外人のスタッフの方のおもてなしは半端ではなく、もし砂も見えてこのツアーの同じスタッフだったら最高のハワイの体験になったと感じました。
天候や自然の事は操作はできないので、ある程度旅行の日程が長い方は潮の満ち引きを調べてから行くのをお勧めします。

My daughter, grandkids and I had a great experience with Star of Honolulu. The show mesmerized my grandkids and the "conga line" gave party boat a new meaning. Would live to go this activity again.

Was lots of fun . staff was great entertainment was awesome boat was very clean. Food was great

Was a great day to ride . horses were well trained. Guide was very nice and offered a lot of advice re Hawaii. A must do

I enjoyed the lesson that I signed up for the night before, starting at 12 PM the next day. The instructor communicated in English and simple Japanese. I was able to rent shoes, so I could enjoy the experience without worrying about my feet. The other customers were also friendly, and I had a great time.

前日夜に申し込み翌日12時からのレッスンが楽しめました。
インストラクターはえいごと簡単なにほんごで声をかけてくれます。シューズもかりれたので足元もリーフで切る心配なく楽しめました。他のお客さんも和気あいあいとした感じでとてもいい時間が過ごせまぢた。

I went snorkeling in the ocean for the first time, and although it was a bit difficult to breathe due to my age, it was an incredibly moving experience. I especially recommend it for younger people! I think the experience of encountering dolphins, fish, and turtles up close is unforgettable. There were elementary school children participating as well, and I believe it's excellent for emotional education. We had our meal on the boat on the way back, and since it was an early morning, I was very hungry. The meal was a hamburger (BBQ = they grill the hamburger meat for you), so if you don't have to worry about seasickness, it's better to eat well. The staff were all very cheerful and kind, making it a fun time.

初めて足の届かない海でシュノーケリングしました、年齢的に少々息が苦しかったですがとても感動的でした。特に若い方にはお勧めです！間近でイルカや魚、カメに出会えるなんて体験は忘れることができないと思います。小学生の子供さんも参加されてましたが情操教育に最高だと思います。食事は帰りの船上でです朝が早いのでとてもおなかがすきました。食事といってもハンバーガーなので（ＢＢＱ＝ハンバーガーの肉を焼いてくれる）船酔いの心配がない方はシッカリ食べていかれたほうがよいですよ。スタッフさんもとても愉快で親切な方ばかりで楽しいじかんでした。

This is a horseback riding club located near Kaena Point on the North Shore. There were six participants, and everyone seemed to be a beginner. Two staff members accompanied us, and the horses were well-trained, which made us feel safe.

We were able to ride along the beautiful North Shore coastline and had a wonderful time.

ノースショアのカエナポイントの近くにある乗馬クラブです。
参加者は６人でした、皆初心者のようでした。
スタッフさんは二人付いてくれて、馬も慣れているので安心です。

綺麗なノースの海沿いを乗馬できて、素敵な時間を過ごせました。

I've participated in Dolphin University several times, and I've encountered dolphins every time!

You can change positions to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. If you have time, the boat can stop offshore, and you can also try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

Whether on the bus or on the boat, everyone is always lively and high-energy, making it a lot of fun. When we return to the harbor, we always dance the hula together. At first, it's a bit embarrassing, but it becomes enjoyable, and everyone joins in the dancing.

I want to participate in the dolphin experience again!

イルカ大学、何回か参加しています。イルカには毎回遭遇できています！

ポジションを変えてイルカ、亀エリア、熱帯魚と、見ることが出来ます。
時間があれば、船を沖に停めて、カヌーやＳＵＰにも挑戦できます。

バスの中でも、船の上でも、いつもノリノリ・テンション高くて、楽しいです。
港に帰るときは、いつも皆でフラを踊ります。
最初恥ずかしいけど、なんだか楽しきなって来て、参加者みんな踊ってます。

またイルカ参加したいですね。

Great trip! Lots of turtles, a surprise stingray, and lots of fish. The crew were fantastic and the food was very good. Strongly recommend

I participated in a private lesson.
The instructor spoke really simple Japanese, but it was basically in English. But that was okay.
I received one-on-one instruction in the shallow sea and was able to stand on the board right away.
Since the pier extends out into the sea, parents can watch from there. I took a lot of photos.
Thank you, teacher.

プライベートレッスンに参加しました。
先生はホントに簡単な日本語だけで、基本的には英語です。でも大丈夫です。
遠浅の海でマンツーマンで教えてもらい、
すぐにボードに立てるようになりました。
桟橋が沖まで出ているので、親はそこから見学できます。写真も沢山取りました。
先生ありがとうございました。

I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Hawaii!

You can look out over Honolulu as if you were a bird! I chose the 150M option, but the height was the same as those who chose the 40M option; it seems that the length of the rope was different. The longer the rope, the longer the time spent in the air. Those who chose the 40M option returned in no time, but it didn't seem like they felt unsatisfied.

We flew towards the end of our stay in Honolulu, so we were able to enjoy the view while reminiscing about the places we had visited.

Motion sickness medication is a must. I had run out of motion sickness medication from another tour, so I only used a Sea-Band, and I was fine, but my partner felt a bit nauseous. Surprisingly, it sways more in the air, being pulled by the parasail, than it does on the boat.

ハワイに行く人には絶対お勧めしようと思いました！

ホノルルを鳥になったような気分で見渡すことができます！150Mを選びましたが、40Mを選んだ人と高さは変わらず、どうやらロープの長さが違うようでした。ロープが長いほど、空の滞在時間が長いみたいです。40Mの人はあっという間に帰ってきましたが、それでも物足りない感じはしなかったようです。

私たちはホノルル滞在の最後の方に飛んだので、行った場所を思い出しながら眺めることができました。

酔い止めは必須です。酔い止めを他のツアーで飲みきってしまっていたので、シーバンドだけで対策しましたが、私は大丈夫でしたが、パートナーは少し酔っていました。船上よりも、意外と空の上の方がパラソルに引っ張られてグイングイン揺れます。

Me and some friends did parasailing for the first time and it was awesome!!!! We had no idea what to expect and it was incredible. The views were amazing and the guys running the boat were a blast! Highly recommend this company!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the photos due to the rain. However, we were able to spot sea turtles from the boat. Since we were on the mountain side, it's understandable that the weather can change quickly, but I want to try again on a sunny day.

あいにくの雨で写真のような綺麗な景色は見れませんでした。船の上からウミガメの姿は見ることができました。山側なので天気が変わりやすいのは仕方ないですが次は晴れの日にリベンジしたいです。

This time I participated in a short course, but when I got there, I wished I had chosen a slower-paced course. I think it's better to choose a course where you can take your time.

今回は短時間のコースに参加しましが、行ってみるともっとゆっくり出来るコースにすればよかったと＞＜　参加の際はゆっくり出来るコースがいいかと思いますよ

It took an hour to travel from the early morning. I participated feeling a bit sleep-deprived, but the guide's positive talk and the wonderful views of the sea and mountains made it feel like we arrived at the West Coast in no time.

We took a boat to the spot. I was worried about seasickness, but surprisingly, it was close to the shore, and the waves were calm.

When I jumped into the sea, it was crystal clear, and I was able to see dolphins right away. Honestly, I didn't expect to encounter so many dolphins up close, so I was truly moved!

This is a tour that makes me want to participate again, so please give it a try. However, it can be a bit cold during this time of year, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.

朝一からの移動で1時間。少し寝不足ぎみで参加しましたが、ガイドさんの前向きトークと素晴らしい海と山の景色であっという間に西海岸に到着。
ボートでスポットまで行きます。船酔いを心配もありますが、意外と岸からも近いため、穏やかな波でした。
海に飛び込むと、透き通っていて、直ぐにイルカに会うことができました。
正直、こんなに間近に、たくさんの群れのイルカに会えるとは思って無かったので、本当に感激しました！
また、参加したいと思えるツアーですので、是非参加してみてください。
ただ、この時期は少し寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをしたほうがいいとおもいました。

Had a great time with this company. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to go snorkeling and sailing!
