I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.
Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.
Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.
朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。
念のため飴とシュノーケルセットを持参すればよいかと。
英語の説明で何を言ってるかわからなかったのですが、単に手足を出すなと言うことと、足の置き場があるので、シュノーケルをセットしたら潜って見るだけです
Thank you for participating in the shark tour! We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour, especially encountering sharks and meeting dolphins on the way back. We believe that the details and advice from your experience will be helpful for other customers as well. Thank you for coming from afar, mahalo!

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.
Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.
After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.
7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。
The ease of booking through the VELTRA app, the quick confirmation emails, and the reassurance of reminder emails (which are sent repeatedly, perfect for forgetful people! Haha) make it hard to consid

Entering "Dolphin University" and officially becoming a graduate was the biggest event of the summer of 2025. With a courteous pick-up, we quickly arrived at Waianae Harbor from Ko Olina. We boarded right away, and Captain KURT's jokes eased the tension of the 28 new students, bringing smiles to everyone. Next, we held the solemn "Ehomai Ceremony" (a prayer before entering the sacred place). As time flowed leisurely, we cruised through the magnificent nature of the West Coast. Thanks to our prayers, we encountered many dolphins. Even Minako, a Japanese staff member, said, "Such days are rare." Near the harbor, a family of spinner dolphins came close to the boat, showing us their spinning jumps multiple times. We also encountered a rare pod of false killer whales offshore. It was truly moving. Above all, the crew's "dolphin love" was palpable. In the second class, "snorkeling," my wife had her first experience, and with Minako's support, she said, "It was so much fun. It was really great." We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature. We also encountered sea turtles twice. I would love to participate in this tour again. I highly recommend it.
「イルカ大学」に入学し、晴れて卒業生の仲間入りとなったことは2025年夏の最大のイベントでした。丁寧な送迎でコオリナからはあっという間にワイアナエ港に到着。早速乗船しKURT船長のジョークを交えた挨拶で入学生28名の緊張もほぐれて皆笑顔に。続いて厳粛な「エホマイの儀式(聖地に入る前の祈り)」を行いました。ゆったりとした時が流れる中、雄大な自然が広がる西海岸で、大自然の中をクルーズ。お祈りのおかげ?で、私たちはたくさんのイルカ達と遭遇することができました。日本人スタッフのMinakoさんも「こんな日はめったにないです」というくらい。港の近くではハシナガイルカのファミリーが、ボートのすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、回転ジャンプを何度も見せてくれました。沖合では珍しいユメゴンドウ(鯨)の群れにも出会えました。感激しました。何より船長以下クルーの皆さんの“イルカ・ラブ”がひしひしと伝わってきました。2時間目の授業「スノーケリング」は、妻は初体験でしたが、Minakoさんのサポートで「凄く楽しかった。とても良かった」とのことでした。雄大な自然をたっぷりと満喫させて頂きました。ウミガメさんにも2度出会えました。またこのツアーに参加したいと思いました。お勧めします。
I think beginners should wear a wetsuit. Rentals are inexpensive at $10.
初心者は、ウェットスーツを着用された方がよろしいかと思います。レンタルが10ドルと安いです。

It was my first time at the sandbar, and although I felt a bit anxious with the slight wind, the sun peeked through, and I got to see a honu. I was also fortunate to have the best crew, including the captain, which made for an unforgettable experience.
Thanks to the crew member who provided detailed explanations in Japanese and showed great consideration, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

I used this service for my honeymoon trip on July 28, 2025.
First of all, our driver, Jonah, was incredibly kind and spoke Japanese very well. It was enjoyable to hear little local insights while we drove around to various photo spots.
Along the way, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill and Haleiwa Town, which had many shops. It was helpful that Jonah recommended some places for us.
Although it was a one-day tour, he played music during the drive and allowed us to take breaks, which was great for recharging our energy.
Personally, I think sandals might be a good choice since we also stopped by the beach. We took photos with just our feet in the water at Sunset Beach.
He also introduced us to some recommended places around Waikiki, like "Maguro Brothers" (for poke bowls) and "Aloha Kitchen" (where we had eggs benedict and fruit soufflé pancakes), both of which were delicious!
Without a car, it would be quite difficult to get around on your own, so this tour was packed into one day and left us very satisfied! We were able to fit in lots of photos, great food, souvenirs, and memories!
Thank you, Jonah!

I recommend sandals. If you're going into the sea, I think clothes that can be rolled up, like shorts or a dress, are good! It seems better to have a towel, sunscreen, and drinks as well!

This time, I went to Hawaii with my eldest son and his child. I searched online for places in Japan that I could visit with my 4-year-old grandchild and decided that Wet 'n' Wild would be the best choice. After that, I looked for various tours and ultimately chose Veltra. I was relieved to find out that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the scheduled departure, even though I initially thought we would be taking a large dedicated bus. It was also great that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the return trip. Safety and security are absolute requirements when traveling abroad, so I reaffirmed that Veltra meets those standards.
今回は長男親子と一緒にハワイへ。日本で孫(4歳)と一緒に行ける所をネットで検索し、ウェットアンドワイルドが一番良いかなと選択。その後、色々なツアーを検索し最終ベルトラに。ツアーでは大型専用バスでの往復と思いきや、当日小型バスで待合せ場所に約10分前にバスに搭乗出来て安心しました。帰路も約10分前にバス搭乗出来て良かったです。
安心と安全は海外では絶対条件に成りますのでベルトラは適応していると再認識しました。
Please prioritize safety and security when selecting a tour.

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!
Other points to note and things to be careful about:
- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!
That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!
中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります!
それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。
・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です!
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう!
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます&SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです!
以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎
I'm a bit anxious about flying only in English, but I'll be fine!

After about 15-20 minutes of searching, we spotted dolphins. During the first time we entered the water, we only caught a glimpse of two dolphins diving. We set out again to search for dolphins, and during the second attempt, we were able to see dozens of dolphins in the ocean. After that, we moved to another spot and were also able to see several sea turtles perfectly.
Ken, the Japanese staff member, was very kind, and I felt reassured to participate even with my concerns about speaking English. Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit. If you're worried about motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is essential. It's said that the waters in Hawaii are calmest in the morning, so even though the meeting time is early, I recommend the first tour.
The boat from Dolphin University had a toilet and was well-equipped, but if seeing dolphins and swimming with them is your top priority, it seems that Dolphin Junior is recommended because their boat can maneuver more easily. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling, making it a very satisfying tour.
イルカはバッチリ見れました。
まずは小型のボートに乗り込み、イルカを探しに行きます。船はエンジンを2台のパワーで動くのですごいスピードが出ます。バナナボートに乗っているような感覚で移動中も楽しかったです。
15-20分ほど探したところで、イルカを発見。1回目海に入ったところでは2頭のイルカが潜っていく所を少し見れた程度でした。改めてイルカを探しに船を走らせ、2回目では数十頭のイルカを海の中から見ることができました。その後別のスポットまで移動して、海亀も数匹バッチリ見ることが出来ました。
日本人スタッフのケンさんもとても親切で英語に不安があっても安心して参加できました。
船が小型なので結構揺れます。乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めの服用は必須かと思います。ハワイの海は朝が1番穏やかとのことで、集合は朝早いですが1番最初のツアーがおすすめです。
イルカ大学の船にはトイレが付いていたり設備が充実していましたが、イルカを見る、イルカと泳ぐことが優先順位1位であればイルカ中学の方が船が小回りきくこともありおすすめだそうです。
シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあり、大満足なツアーでした。
Don't forget to take your motion sickness medication.
酔い止めの服用を忘れずに。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in Dolphin School, Mochi! I also appreciate the five stars. During the second dolphin swim, we were able to see many dolphins underwater, right? The port of Dolphin School is exciting and fun just by riding on the tube! Thank you for your comments about me as a Japanese guide. It really motivates me! Please join us again the next time you come to Hawaii! The crew will do our best to ensure you meet the dolphins! Mahalo nui and a hui hou! by Ken

I made a reservation while checking the tide chart, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing me to see the sandbar that emerged from the water! The part that actually comes out of the sea has more coral fragments and rocks than sandy beach, so marine shoes are essential.
I took photos with my iPhone, and it was amazing to see the sea turtles (honu) resting right in front of me and swimming close enough to touch, along with many colorful fish! At first, I was considering a tour that lends fins, but it wasn't necessary since we moved slowly along the not-so-long reef while enjoying the view.
In addition to sun protection, it seems there were jellyfish that the honu feed on in some areas, so having a rash guard would provide extra peace of mind.
潮見表を見ながら予約しましたが天候にも恵まれ、ちゃんと水面から出たサンドバーを見る事が出来ました!
実際に海面から出ている部分は砂浜より珊瑚のカケラや岩のような部分が多く、マリンシューズは必須でした。
写真はiPhoneで撮りましたが、目の前で寝ているホヌや、手が届くほどの距離を泳ぐホヌ、色とりどりの魚もたくさん見る事が出来て最高でした!始めは足ヒレを貸してくれるツアーと悩みましたが、さほど長くないリーフ沿いをゆっくりと見ながら進むので不要でした。
日焼け対策もですが、ホヌが餌にしているクラゲが所々にいたようなので、ラッシュガードはあった方が安心です。
Since there was no time to change before and after the activities, I brought a regular towel for towel drying, a bath towel to place under my bottom in the car on the way back, and a long-sleeved jack
アクティビティ前後で着替える時間はないので、タオルドライ用の普通のタオルと帰りの車でお尻の下に敷くバスタオル、皆様のアドバイス通り長袖の上着を持って行きました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

I participated in a tour with "Dolphin University" that cruises near the westernmost point of Oahu. There were many Japanese staff members, and their explanations were thorough, allowing me to feel safe and enjoy the experience throughout. On the boat, there were also commentaries about the surrounding islands and scenery, which deepened my understanding of Hawaii's nature and culture. During the cruise, I encountered sea turtles three times and observed a pod of wild dolphins. I was particularly moved by the sight of baby dolphins jumping. After the cruise, I had a snorkeling experience in the deep sea where I couldn't touch the bottom. Swimming with colorful fish gathered around the bait felt like a dream, and it was a highly satisfying tour that allowed me to feel one with nature.
オアフ島最西端付近をクルーズする「イルカ大学」のツアーに参加しました。日本人スタッフが多く、説明も丁寧で終始安心して楽しめました。船上では周囲の島や景色についての解説もあり、ハワイの自然や文化をより深く知ることができました。クルーズ中には3回もウミガメに出会い、野生のイルカの群れも観察。特に子イルカがジャンプする姿には感動しました。クルーズ後は、足のつかないほど深い海でのシュノーケリング体験。餌に集まるカラフルな魚たちと泳ぐのはまさに夢のようで、大自然との一体感を味わえる、非常に満足度の高いツアーでした。
On the ship, it gets quite cold after coming up from the sea, so I think it's essential for each person to have a bath towel or a wrap.
船上は海から上がったあとかなり冷えるので1人一枚のバスタオルや羽織が必須だと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I am very pleased to hear that you not only encountered wild dolphins and sea turtles in the beautiful nature of Hawaii, but also learned about Hawaii's nature and culture, and experienced a sense of unity with the great outdoors. Please do come back and visit us again when you are in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.
The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!
And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.
I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!

I was able to have an experience just like the photos. I snorkeled with my child and swam with several sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory. The stand-up paddleboarding I tried during my free time was also fun. The snacks on the boat, including spam onigiri and miso soup, were plentiful, and both my child and I were very satisfied.
写真通りの体験をすることができました。
子供と一緒にシュノーケルをし、何匹ものウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ良い思い出になりました。空き時間で挑戦したSUPも楽しかったです。船上での軽食はスパムおにぎりやみそ汁など充実しており、子供ともども大満足でした。
Children, in particular, seem to feel a bit cold after coming out of the water. It might be a good idea to have a T-shirt to change into from a wet rash guard.
子供は特に、海から上がると少し寒く感じるようです。濡れたラッシュガードから着替えるTシャツなどがあると良いかもしれません。

This excursion was absolutely incredible! We got to hang out on the Kaneohe sandbar for a while. Some people played volleyball, some swam and tested out snorkel gear. We go to just relax and enjoy this amazing location. There were sea turtles and rays when we first got there. The crew grilled up some yummy burgers while we played. We then got back on the boat looking for green sea turtles. So many! We snorkeled around a reef and saw so many incredible fish. This was one of my favorite adventures that we did in Oahu and could not have been in a more beautiful location.

The staff were great at getting everyone excited and taught us with care. There was also a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease participating! Dolphins swam in from all directions, and we could see them up close 🐬. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot for some free snorkeling time. There, we were able to see sea turtles, which was a very precious experience for me(^^).
スタッフの方が盛り上げ上手で丁寧に教えてくれました。日本人のガイドさんもいて、安心して参加することができました!イルカは四方八方からたくさん泳いできて間近で見られました🐬
その後シュノーケリングスポットに移動して自由にシュノーケリングタイム。そこではウミガメを見ることもでき、とても貴重な体験をすることがだしました(^^)
The boat moves quickly, so it gets cold when you come out of the water. You can rent a wetsuit for $10 locally, which gives you peace of mind!
船のスピードが速いので海から上がると移動が寒いです。現地でウェットスーツが10ドルでレンタルできるので、レンタルすると安心です!

We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.
Take you motion sickness pills! LOL

Just to be safe, it might be a good idea to bring candy and a snorkeling set. I didn't understand what was being said in the English explanation, but it simply means not to extend your arms and legs,
