Oahu
Seven years ago, I wanted to participate in the Dolphin University, but I gave up on joining the tour because I thought there was no guarantee of seeing them in the wild. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and signed up this time.
Saki-chan, Nana-chan, and all the staff worked very hard to ensure that everyone could encounter dolphins. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, I was able to see both dolphins and turtles. The dolphins were adorable, and I had a long time with the turtles, which was very healing.
The staff's constant energy also lifted my spirits and made it fun. Thank you so much. It became a wonderful memory.
7年前にイルカ大学に参加したいと思ったけど、相手は自然なので見れる保証が無いと思いツアー参加は諦めていました。
しかし、この度思い切って申し込みして良かったです。
参加した全員がイルカと遭遇出来る様に、さきちゃん、ななちゃん、スタッフの皆様はとても一生懸命でした。ありがとうございました。
お陰様でイルカも亀も見れました。
イルカも可愛かったし、亀との時間は長くとれてとても癒されました。
スタッフの皆様がずっと元気なのが、こちらもテンションがあがって楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。
記念になりました。
The sandbar had water up to my waist to chest due to the tides, but I still enjoyed walking around. It was great to practice snorkeling as well.
For snorkeling, there were many participants, so the instructions were thorough, but the basics were left to the participants, which might not be very enjoyable for those who are inexperienced. When I went snorkeling in other countries, the staff would swim alongside us, so some people might find that aspect disappointing.
サンドバーは潮の関係で腰から胸あたりまで水がありましたが、それでも楽しく歩けました。シュノーケルの練習もできてよかったです。
シュノーケリングは、参加者が多かったせいか、丁寧に説明してくれましたが基本はほったらかしなので、できない人はあまり楽しくないかも。他の国でシュノーケリングをした時は、スタッフがついて泳いでくれたりしたので、人によってはその辺りを残念に思う人もいるかもしれません。
Swimming with dolphins was the purpose of this trip. We participated in the tour despite feeling a bit sleepy from the early morning departure, but on the way, we had a great time listening to Julie, the staff member, who enthusiastically shared many stories about Hawaii and dolphins, making the ride to the port fly by.
Once on board, everyone enjoyed chatting together as the captain, Papa, led the ship out to sea. I was worried about whether we would see dolphins since a storm was approaching, but when we arrived at the dolphin spot, we encountered over 20 dolphins, which really boosted our excitement. After swimming to see the dolphins twice, we moved a bit and saw many small fish. After snorkeling, we enjoyed pork rice balls and snacks on the boat. The pork rice balls after snorkeling were incredibly delicious!
After that, we returned while dancing the hula. From start to finish, it was a very enjoyable and happy time. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
イルカと泳ぐのが今回の旅行の目的でした。
朝早くの出発で少し眠さもありながらツアーに参加しましたが、道中にスタッフのジュリーさんからテンション高めにハワイやイルカについてのお話を沢山聞けて、すごく楽しく港まであっという間でした。
乗船後もみんなで楽しく会話しながら、船長のパパさんを筆頭に船は出航★
嵐が近づいてきていたのでイルカに会えるか心配していましたが、いざイルカ達のポイントに着くと20頭以上のイルカ達に出会えてテンションが上がりました。2回イルカ達を見るために泳いだ後は、少し移動して小さい魚をたくさん見ました。シュノーケル後は、船上でポークおにぎりやおかしを食べました。シュノーケル後のポークおにぎりはすごく美味しかったです!笑
その後はフラダンスを踊りながらの帰航。初めから最後まで、全てがとても楽しい幸せな時間でした。次にハワイに来る時も、また是非参加したいと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to your participation next time.

Great Experience parasailing @ Waikiki. No issues finding the smallish “World Headquarters” and the crew was a blast. Definitely go big with the 1000’ option. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I participated in a dolphin school for the first time on my honeymoon. I thought 5:35 AM might be too early, but surprisingly, it wasn't difficult to wake up. The guide was very energetic, and I had a great time. I learned about the ecology of spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, orcas, and sharks, as well as the differences between mammals and fish, which made me appreciate dolphins even more.
Originally, we were supposed to see turtles as well, but it turned out that the day we participated was the peak day for big waves, so there were a lot of waves, and we couldn't find any dolphins in the first two hours. However, when I dipped my feet in the water from the boat, the splashes felt great, and the scenery was beautiful with clear, transparent water.
In the end, we were able to watch bottlenose dolphins, and I also snorkeled with spinner dolphins and saw many of them three times. Just make sure to bring water! You'll get very thirsty, and we only received juice. The dolphin school is a very positive and high-energy activity. I highly recommend participating!
初めて新婚旅行でイルカ中学に参加しました。
5:35だと朝早いかなと思いましたが、案外起きるのは億劫ではなかったです。
案内してくれる方もハイテンションな方でとっても楽しめました。ハシナガイルカやバンドウイルカ、シャチ、サメなどの生態と哺乳類や魚類の違いも知れて、イルカを知ることの楽しさも知ることができました。
本来は亀も観れる予定でしたが、参加したのは次の日がビッグウェーブのピークの日らしくとても波が沢山あり、最初の2時間は全然イルカが見つかりませんでした。ですが、船から足を出せば水しぶきが体に当たりとても気持ちよく、景色も綺麗で海もとても透明で綺麗でした。
最終的にはバンドウイルカもウォッチングできましたし、ハシナガイルカもシュノーケリングして3回も沢山見れました。
ただ、お水は絶対もってくださいね!
喉がとっても乾きますし、ジュースしかもらえませんでした。
イルカ中学はとても前向きにハイテンションで楽しめるアクティビティです。
是非ご参加下さい!!
Thank you for participating.
I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
We look forward to your participation next time.

Unfortunately, the sunset was obscured by thick clouds, but sailing while enjoying drinks with the cheerful staff was very pleasant! When night fell, we were able to see a big full moon, so I think it turned out well in the end.
I participated on the last day in Hawaii, which was a bit bittersweet, but it became a good memory.
It was difficult to find the meeting place. Following the directions, I went through the lobby of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel to get to the beach, but I couldn't find the booth and ended up wandering around. Also, although I made a reservation for two, I was told at the reception that it was booked for six, and they took a photo of my reservation details. I think it's a good idea to bring something that shows your reservation details just in case!
Additionally, please be careful as you will get quite wet when boarding and disembarking from the boat.
サンセットはあいにく雲が厚く見ることができませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフさんたちとお酒を飲みながらのセーリングはとても気持ちよかったです!夜になると大きな満月を見ることができたので、結果オーライかなと思います。
ハワイ最終日に参加し、ちょっぴり切なく、でも良い思い出になりました。
集合場所が分かりづらかったのは困りました。案内の通りにシェラトンワイキキホテルのロビーを通ってビーチへ出ましたが、ブースが見当たらず右往左往しました。また、2名で予約しましたが、受付では6名で予約されていると言われ、予約詳細画面の写真を撮られました。もしもの時のために、予約詳細が分かるものは持参した方がいいと思います!
また、船への乗り降りの際はかなり濡れますのでご注意ください。
You can set sail in the bright evening, watch the sunset, and then enjoy the sparkling night views of seaside hotels after the sun goes down. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.
夕方の明るい時に出航しサンセットを見たのち、日が落ちた後のキラキラした海沿いのホテルなどの夜景を楽しめます。ハワイの素敵な思い出になりました。
I participated with my mother. On the day, there were only three of us, including another group of women. After enjoying the view 150 meters up in the air with my mother, we unexpectedly went up again with the other group of women! I’m grateful for the staff's thoughtful arrangement! I was a bit anxious since everything was in English, but they humorously said, "You are a lucky girl!" and we got to enjoy another aerial walk. The view was amazing, and it became a lifelong memory.
母と二人で参加しました。
当日は私たちともう一組女性の方の3人のみで、先に母と150m上空に上がって景色を楽しんだ後、まさかまさかのもう一組の女性と二人で上空に!スタッフの粋なはからいに感謝!全部英語なので不安でしたが、「ユーアーラッキーガール!」とユーモアたっぷりでもう一度空中散歩を楽しめて、景色も最高で一生の思い出になりました。
My friend, who has weak eyesight and needs prescription goggles to dive, was able to participate, so I signed up. They were very happy to observe the natural fish and sea turtles swimming in the coral reefs, which were different from those in the aquarium.
視力が弱く、ダイビングするにも度付きゴーグルをしなければならない友達が参加出来そうなので申し込みました
水槽の中とは違ったサンゴ礁を泳ぐ天然の魚たちや海ガメを観察できてとても喜んでもらえました
アトランティス・サブマリン・アドベンチャーをVELTRAで予約していただき、ありがとうございます。
Mahalo for booking an Atlantis Submarine Adventure with VELTRA.
Since my child dislikes skydiving, we opted for parasailing instead. The captain and the pilot provided explanations in simple Japanese, which were more than enough. The parasailing experience ascended in no time, and my child was able to enjoy the breathtaking views from the sky without feeling scared. Next, I would love to try super javelin!
子供がスカイダイビングを嫌がるので
パラセーリングにしました。
キャプテンと操縦士さんは楽しく
片言の日本語で説明でも十分でした。
パラセーリングはあっと言う間に上がり
子供も怖がる間もなく、空から絶景をみる事が出来ました(^^)
次はスーパージャボンがして見たいなぁ〜
It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.
今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち二人で後は外人ばかりでしたが、魚が沢山いたうえに、ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳げたのは、初めての経験でした。
渡ハ何十回めにしての感動ものでした。
The shuttle staff were kind, and the staff on the board were really funny, making it a lot of fun! For first-timers, there might be a little fear at the moment of takeoff, but you quickly go up, and once you reach 150 meters, you can see the hotel and Diamond Head, which was really beautiful! Also, everyone participating, except for the staff, were Japanese, so I was able to chat with them comfortably! Since it was a tandem parasailing experience and I was participating alone, I flew together with another Japanese woman I met there! By the way, she flew twice!
送迎の方も優しく、ボードのスタッフもすごく面白い方ですごく楽しかったです!初めての方は飛ぶ瞬間少し怖さがあるかもですが、一瞬にして上まで行きますし、150mまで達してたら
ホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドなどが一望できすごく綺麗でした!また参加している方はスタッフ以外、日本人の方だったので仲良く話すことも出来ました!2人乗りのパラセーリングだったので1人での参加だったので、そこで初めましての他の日本人女性の方と一緒に飛びました!ちなみその方には2回飛んで頂きました!
The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.
お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。
It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!
I experienced the 120m plan. It was my first time parasailing, and flying over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii felt amazing. The location is also close to Waikiki, and since the duration is short, I recommend it because you can enjoy other activities or shopping afterward.
120mプランを体験しました。
パラセイリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を飛ぶのは最高に気持ちが良かったです。
体験場所もワイキキから近く、時間も短いので終わってから他のアクティビティや買物等楽しめるのでおススメです。
I hadn't made a reservation for the airport transfer to the hotel in advance, but after arriving at the airport, I asked the person at the Roberts Hawaii counter, and I was able to pay with my credit card on the spot and use the service. I also planned to use Roberts Hawaii for my return, so I made a reservation through VELTRA about two days before my departure. The payment included a tip, so it was very convenient without having to think about it. I recommend it.
空港からホテルへの送迎の事前予約をしていなかったのですが、空港に到着してから、ロバーツハワイのカウンターにいる方にお願いしたら、その場でクレジットカードでお支払いをして利用できました。
帰りもロバーツハワイでお願いしようと思い、帰国の2日前くらいにVELTRAで予約しました。
支払料金にチップも含まれていたので、何も考えずらくちんでした。
おすすめです。
Best thing I did in Hawaii. Crew were amazing! Cornbin was my favourite (dude with the shredded 6 pack and sweet smile). The perfect way to see some beautiful turtles. Also great opportunity to sale the crystal clear waters. 10/10.
The “booze cruise” as we called it(bachelorette party) definitely was amazing! The bride enjoyed it most(out of all the other activities we did that weekend) and that’s all that mattered. The boat crew were surprisingly interactive during our activities and even joined in our sandbar volleyball match. So much laughs and the scenery/water/weather was breath taking. Although we are from Maui and experience a lot of boating and time in the water, to the crew that worked September 29th, 2018(I didn’t get names) YOU ALL WERE FABULOUS!! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!
This trip was definitely above our expectations. First, I want to applaud the customer service of this Company. Our first tour was cancelled due to weather. They informed us promptly and immediately rescheduled us for an alternative date. When we arrived after the boat, there had been an error in some customers booking causing a delay in the boat's departure. Not only did they extend our time, but our drinks were compensated due to the delay. We were more than obliged to wait for the late arrivals :). The boat was not crowded, the service was fantastic, and the music was great. As promised, we enjoyed the beautiful boat and the fantastic views of the sunset, city and diamond head. Everything was literally as promised. We would definitely recommend to friends.
Purchased our VIP package from the outset it was a great night good food fantastic entertainment and a very lovely waitress all made it a very special evening. The costumes were amazing and singers and dancers excellent a true taste of Hawaii and its culture along with a lot of happy memories of different musical stars we have
Great boat and friendly crew, relaxing morning and turtles easily spotted. Highly recommended
I made a huge mistake during the reservation stage. I intended to book for the day before my return flight, and we excitedly gathered at the meeting place with six people. However, the guide told us, "Your reservation is for tomorrow!" Upon checking, it turned out that we had actually booked for the day of our return flight. Since we might not make it to our flight after participating in the tour tomorrow, I asked if there was anything that could be done, but unfortunately, both the middle school and university tours were fully booked, and cancellations would not be refundable if made less than 24 hours in advance. With six people, that was quite a hefty amount.
The guide said, "I'll contact the office and get back to you." So, we enjoyed a different schedule that day. In the afternoon, I was able to get in touch with the office. They kindly suggested that if we came to the meeting place to prepare for our return, they would load our luggage onto the bus and drop us off at a hotel just before the airport after the tour ended, as it would take too long to go back to Honolulu and then to the airport. From there, we could easily take a taxi to the airport, which was a wonderful proposal.
It was a last-minute solution, but thanks to this, it turned into an unforgettable and amazing tour. I appreciate the office's response. Also, the guide Jerry's sense of humor and looks during the bus ride to the port were fantastic. The hour-long journey was so enjoyable that it felt like we were at the main event.
予約段階で大失敗してしまいました。
と言うのは、帰国日の前日の申し込みのつもりで6名揃って張り切って集合場所に。
ところがガイドさんに「明日のご予約日になってますよ!」って言われて確認すると、なんと明日の帰国日の予約になっていました。
明日はツアーに参加してからではフライトの時間に間に合わない事もあるので、なんとかならないかとお願いしましたがあいにく中学も大学も満席でキャンセルするにも24時間前からは返金できなくなるとの事。
6名分ですから相当厳しい金額。
ガイドさんが「事務所に連絡してお返事を連絡します。」と言う事で、その日は別なスケジュールを組み楽しみました。
午後になり事務所の方と連絡が取れました。
なんと帰国の準備をして集合場所に来て頂ければトランクなどバスに積み込みツアー終了次第、ホノルルまで戻ってからでは空港まで移動するのでは時間がかかりすぎるので空港手前のホテルに降ろしてくれる。
そこからタクシーで空港まで向えば十分間に合うでしょうとの嬉しいご提案。
土壇場でギリギリの遂行でしたが、おかげさまで思い出に残るサイコーのツアーになりました。
事務局様のご対応に感謝致します。
また、港までの向かうバスの中でのガイドのジェリーさんのトークセンスとルックスもサイコー。
約1時間の移動中楽しすぎてどっちがメインイベントだろうと言う感じ。
Last time when I wanted to jump on a catamaran, it was fully booked, so this time I made a reservation in advance despite some concerns about the weather.
We departed from the bright beach and enjoyed the sunset on the water! On the way back, we experienced the beautiful night view of Honolulu.
It was truly wonderful since we can't see the sunset every day. The woman who prepared the drinks provided prompt service and even offered refills without us having to ask.
Indeed, Japanese was not spoken, but it was not a problem at all. There were no noisy people, and no one was standing on the net.
以前にカタマランに飛び込みで乗りたいと言った時は満席で断られたので今回は天気の不安もある中、事前予約しました。
まだ、明るいビーチを出発して、洋上でサンセット!帰る時にはホノルルの夜景と素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
毎日、サンセットを拝めるわけではないので本当によかったです。
飲み物を用意してくれた女性もテキパキとサービスしてくれてこちらから言わなくてもおかわりの催促をしてくれました。
確かに日本語は通じないけど、なんの問題もないです。
騒がしい方は全くいなくネットの上に乗る人もいませんでした。
I participated in the tour for my wife, who loves hula. The location was convenient, being close to the hotel and having a shopping mall nearby. Above all, the entertainment from the show was excellent.
フラ好きの女房の母親の為にツアーに参加しました。
場所がホテルから近くショッピングモールも有り便利でした。
何よりショーのエンターテイメントが最高でした。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.
1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。
アロハ、あなたが乗車や景色を楽しめなかったと聞いて残念です。1.5時間の乗車は、山を通り、島のウィンドワード側を見るための有名な山頂へ向かいますが、ほとんどの人はその景色を楽しんでいます。フィードバックをありがとうございます。マハロ。
Aloha, We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the ride or the views. The 1.5 ride is through the mountains to our famous mountaintop to see the Windward side of the island and most people enjoy the views. Thank you for the feedback. Mahalo
The contrast of blue, the mysterious experience of standing in the sea, and encountering many sea turtles made for a truly wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive to ensure that all participants enjoyed themselves, which was great. Thank you! The hamburgers were juicy and very delicious. Although the boat goes out to sea, it hardly sways, so even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. At the snorkeling spot, there were many colorful fish, and I felt it was a highly satisfying tour. I think you will definitely get sunburned, so sunscreen is a must! I forgot to apply it on my calves and ended up very red, haha. For those participating, be careful with your calves and the tops of your feet. That said, I’m really glad I participated. I highly recommend this tour.
青のコントラスト、海の中に立っている不思議な体験、海ガメさんにもたくさん出会えてとても素晴らしい体験ができました。^ ^クルーの皆さんも参加者全員が楽しめるようにとても気を配ってくれたので、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました!ハンバーガーもジューシーでとても美味しかったです。船から沖に進みますがほとんど揺れることもないので酔いやすい私でも大丈夫でした。シュノーケリングのポイントではカラフルなお魚もたくさんいて満足度の高いツアーだと感じました。日焼けは多分とてもすると思いますので日焼け止めは必須です!私はふくらはぎに塗り忘れて真っ赤になりました笑笑 参加される方、ふくらはぎと足の甲要注意です。とはいえ、参加して本当に良かったです。おススメのツアーです。
The staff was already at the pickup location to confirm everything, which made me feel very secure using the service. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely use it. Thank you very much.
ピックアップの場所にあらかじめスタッフの方がいてくれて確認してくれます。なのでとても安心して利用できました。またハワイに行く事があったら利用しようと思います。ありがとうございました。

The flight from Kapalua to Honolulu was canceled, and I was rebooked on a different flight from Kahului. I called the local contact to inform them, and they assisted me. After arriving in Honolulu, they were waiting for me with a name board at the baggage claim area. It takes a bit of time since we board at the inter-island terminal and go through the international terminal, but it's understandable since it's a shared ride.
カパルアからホノルルへの便がキャンセルになり、カフルイ発の別便に振替になりました。
現地連絡先に電話してその旨を伝えて、対応いただきました。
ホノルル到着後、手荷物のターンテーブルのところでネームボードを持って探してくれていました。
離島ターミナルで乗って、国際線ターミナルを経由するので少し時間はかかりますが、乗り合いなので仕方ないことです。
Such an amazing experience! Would definitely do this again! The crew that took us was great, as well :)
