I have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and I was really glad to see so many dolphins at once and to swim with them. They were close enough that I could see their eyes! I was also happy to meet a turtle and a stingray. The staff were kind and cheerful, and I definitely want to participate again!
イルカと泳ぎたいとずっと思っていましたが、こんなにたくさんのイルカを一度に見ることができ、一緒に泳ぐことができて本当によかったです。イルカの視線がわかるほど近くでした!カメもエイにも会えてよかったです。スタッフの方も優しくて、明るくて、是非また参加したいです!

I was very satisfied! First, they gave us a wake-up call at 5 AM, which was kind of them. Since it was cold, they recommended renting a jacket and mentioned to bring the rental fee if we decided to use it. The pickup was at 5:55 AM from a location close to the hotel we stayed at. Bright and cheerful staff welcomed us, which was a relief. On the bus, they explained what was to come, and after arriving, we had a bathroom break because the restrooms on the boat were quite limited. Soon after, we boarded the boat, and the staff introduced themselves. Everyone was cheerful and made us feel excited. We prayed on the boat and threw flowers into the sea.
Once we reached the area where we could see dolphins, everyone jumped into the water, and after three attempts, we finally spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance! They kept getting closer, and there were more than ten of them! They swam right beneath us! Although we couldn't touch them, I was thrilled to see dolphins up close, something I never expected! After swimming with the dolphins, we had free time to enjoy snorkeling or slide down the slide they provided. After that, we had cheeseburgers, potato chips, and cold pineapple, which made me very happy. The staff danced the hula, enhancing the Hawaiian atmosphere, and it was a moment when I truly felt the essence of Hawaii. I would love to go again. The group photo at the end was a luxurious touch.

満足でした!まず朝5時にモーニングコールをくださいました。親切です。寒いのでジャケットレンタルをオススメされ、もし使用する場合はレンタル料金を持ってきてくださいとのことでした。朝の5:55にわたし達が宿泊したホテルから近い場所でのピックアップです。明るい元気なお姉さん達がまず出迎えてくれ、ホッとしました。バスの中ではこれからの説明などをしてくれ、到着後は船のお手洗いは大変とのことでお手洗いタイムがありました。その後すぐに船にのり、スタッフさんの自己紹介。皆さん明るくてわくわく気分にしてくれます。船の上でおいのりをして海に花を投げました。
イルカが見える場所についてから、みんな一斉に海に飛び込むこと3回目でようやくいるかの群れを遠くに発見!!と思ったらどんどん近づいてきて、
10匹以上はいました!そしてなんと私たちの真下を悠々と泳いでます!触れる距離ではありませんでしたが、イルカをこんなに間近で見ることが出来るだなんて思ってもなかったので興奮してしまいました!イルカと泳いだ後は各自自由にシュノーケルを
楽しんだり、用意してくれた滑り台を滑ったりなどなど。その後はチーズバーガーを食べ、ポテトチップスを食べ、冷たいパインを食べて幸せでした。スタッフさんたちがフラダンスを踊って、ハワイ気分をもっと高めてくれたので、ハワイの実感が湧いた瞬間でした。またいきたいと思います。最後のグループごとで写真撮影も贅沢でした。mahalo♪

This is my second time participating in a wild dolphin snorkeling tour (^O^)
It was my first time with this tour company!
In a word, it was very fulfilling.
Not only did we swim with wild dolphins, but there were also many entertaining performances on the boat that kept us laughing the whole time (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
We joined the morning tour!
The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but it was reassuring!
First, we received a morning call, which was a nice touch d(゚∀゚d)!
And since it was in perfect Japanese, there was nothing to worry about!
We took a bus for about 45 minutes to our destination ʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
Then we headed to the dolphins' habitat, which took a bit of time ( .. ).
However, the content was packed with activities that kept us entertained ٩( 'ω' )و!
We sang songs together while offering flowers and praying,
and there were explanations on the bus to confirm safety precautions.
Then we started snorkeling with the wild dolphins (^O^).
A dedicated photographer took lots of wonderful pictures for us!
We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn’t request their service,
but it seems you can get a USB with about 300 photos for $55 if paid in advance, or $60 if ordered later (^^).
After seeing the dolphins, we went snorkeling, and then there were boats and a slide for us to enjoy in the sea (*´罒`*).
We even got to eat hamburgers (♡´艸`).
And on top of that, they performed a hula dance for us!
It was a fun tour filled with laughter from start to finish ( ¨̮ ).
At the end, we took a group photo (^O^).
They send the pictures to your phone, which is a nice service!
If I go snorkeling with dolphins again, I will definitely choose this tour ( ¨̮ ).
*As a note, it can be cold on the boat and in the bus, so be sure to prepare a bath towel and a jacket!
Also, if you get motion sickness, it can ruin everything, so be sure to take motion sickness medication!!
今回で2回目の野生のイルカ
シュノーケリングツアーの参加になります(^O^)
こちらのツアー会社でツアーゎ初めてでした!
一言で言うと、とても内容が濃くて
野生のイルカと泳ぐのはもちろん
船の上でも楽しませてくれる演出が多くあり
ずっと笑いっぱなしのツアーでした(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
私たちは朝からのツアー参加!
集合は6時と早いです!けれど安心です!
まず、朝からなんとモーニングコールを
していただけちゃいますd(゚∀゚d)ナイス!
しかも日本語ばっちしなので
なんの心配もいりません!
集合バスで出発し〜約45分くらいかけて
目的地まで向かいますʕ•̫͡•ʔ
それからイルカの生息地に向かうのですが
なかなか時間がかかります〜( .. )
けれど、飽きさせない内容盛り沢山٩( 'ω' )و !
海に歌をみんなで歌いたながら
お花を捧げてお祈りをし
再度バスの中でも説明もありますが
注意事項を再度確認して
いざ野生のイルカさんと
シュノーケリング開始(^O^)
専属のカメラマンさんが
素敵な写真をいっぱいとってくださいます〜!
私たちは防水カメラを持参したため
お願いしなかったのですが
前払いで$55、あとからの注文だと$60
で300枚ほどのデータがはいったUSBが頂けるようです(^^)
イルカさんみたあとは
シュノーケリングをして
その時間になんとボートやらすべり台登場w

This time, I came to Hawaii for the first time. My friend had been here a few times, but since they had never done a dolphin tour, I asked them to join me! I was a bit worried about waking up early the day after arriving in Hawaii, but I made my way to the pickup location with sleepy eyes. After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at the harbor on the west coast of Oahu. It’s said to be a surfer's paradise, and the waves were a bit high.
Finally, we set off on the boat! We performed a prayer ritual and sat at the front of the boat, crossing the sea with a refreshing breeze! It felt like we went quite far. About a week before we arrived, the weather had been bad, but the day we participated was absolutely perfect!
I joined on November 30, but I went in without a wetsuit. Well, everyone else was wearing wetsuits or rash guards... haha. However, the water was warm, and as long as I had something to put on after getting out, it wasn't a problem at all!
Finally... we met the dolphins!! I was nervous wondering if we would see them, but we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat! There were so many wild dolphins. Even when we got into the water, they were really close and incredibly cute! Usually, you might only get to dive once, but we dove twice. Unfortunately, I couldn't spot them the second time, but it became a wonderful memory!
After that, we moved to a different spot by boat. While we were moving to snorkel, we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale!!! It was an unexpected surprise, and I was so excited! There are set distances for how close you can get, but we happened to find it and got to see it really up close, which was lucky (^ ^). There were also lots of sea turtles and plenty of fish!
I didn’t get in the water because I'm not good at snorkeling, but I was still very satisfied! After all the activities were finished, we all had cheeseburgers on the boat to wrap up the day! On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus (laughs). We were blessed with great weather, and it was so much fun to encounter dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and fish!
今回、わたしは初めてハワイに来ました。
友達は数回目でしたが、イルカツアーは組んだことがないということで、ぜひ参加したい!!とお願いしました。
ハワイ到着の翌日早朝ということで、起きれるか不安がありましたが、寝ぼけ眼のままピックアップ場所へ。
その後バスで走ること1時間ちょっとで、ハーバーに到着。オアフ島の西海岸。
サーファーの聖地だそうで、波はちょっぴり高め。
いざボートで出発!!
お祈りの儀式をしたり、ボートの先頭に座って海を爽快に横断!
だいぶ遠くまで行ったように思います。
私たちが着く一週間ほど前は天候がわるかったみたいですが、私たちが参加した日はお天気抜群‼︎
私は11/30参加ですが、ウェットスーツなしで入りました。まあ私以外はみんなウェットなりラッシュガードを着ていましたが…笑
でも実際海の中は温かく、上がってから羽織るものがあれば特に問題はなかったです!
いよいよ…イルカたちとご対面!!
会えるのかなとドキドキしましたが、ボートの上からイルカの群れを発見‼︎たくさんの野生イルカがいました。海の中に入ってもすごくハッキリ近いところにイルカたちがいて、めちゃくちゃ可愛かった〜!
いつもは一度だけ?なのかもしれませんが、私たちは2回潜りました☆残念ながら、私は2回目は発見出来ずでしたが、とってもいい思い出になりましま!
その後はまたボートで違うポイントへ。
シュノーケルをするために移動中、幸運にもザトウクジラまで見ることが出来ちゃいました!!!それには思いがけないサプライズで大興奮!!
近付ける距離が決まっているそうですが、たまたま偶然見つけたためすっごい近くで見れてラッキーでした(^ ^)
ウミガメもたくさんいて、お魚もいっぱい!
シュノーケルは苦手のため、入水しませんでしたが、それでも大満足でした!!
全部のアクティビティが終了したら、みんなでボートでチーズバーガーを食べて終了!!
帰りのバスは言うまでもなく爆睡(笑)
お天気にも恵まれ、イルカ、クジラ、ウミガメ、魚とたくさん出会えてたのしかったです!!
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!
To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪
We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.
Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!
While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪
Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).
And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.
新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました!
結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪
海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは2回で、1度目も2度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います(時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです)。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。
また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫!こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした(ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです)!
そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ&海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ(素晴らしい)を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪
最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました(ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も)。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル(1人5ドル)や、写真(USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました)の申込(50ドル程度)、酔い止め用のリストバンド(20ドルぐらい?効果のほどは不明)の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう!朝は5時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

When we arrived in Hawaii at 7:00 AM on November 21, 2015, it was raining heavily. The next day, on the 22nd, and on the 23rd, there were light showers in the morning, which made us anxious as we boarded the bus for the private Dolphin Middle School.
As we made our way to the port, we listened to the instructions from Mr. Takao of Dolphin School. Initially, everyone seemed a bit grumpy and anxious, but as he started talking, suddenly there was a downpour (T ^ T). I imitated Tetsuya Takeda, saying, "Alright! Please listen carefully to the teacher's talk!" and it seemed to ease everyone's worried expressions a little. Just as we were nearing the port, the sky began to brighten (^ ^). It felt as if our prayers had been answered!
As we quickly boarded the Zodiac and set off to find the dolphins, the rain stopped and the weather cleared up! Near the port, the water was murky and brown, ruining the beauty of Hawaii's ocean. However, about ten minutes later, we spotted a pod of dolphins! They swam right next to the Zodiac. Although the water's clarity was poor and we couldn't see them clearly, we could see the shadows of the dolphins passing by.
The captain confirmed the direction of the dolphins and gave the go-ahead to jump in! We quickly entered the water, and Mr. Takao called out his famous line, "Look down! Look down!" We confirmed that a pod of dolphins was swimming through the murky water! After seeing the dolphins move on, we got back on the boat to search for them again.
Unfortunately, we had to wait for the pod to emerge from the murky water, and when the captain gave the go-ahead, everyone said they could faintly see them, but all I could see was the murky water (T ^ T).
This time, we were able to see them, but we were ultimately defeated by the wild dolphins and the power of nature. Thank you to the teacher, the captain, and all the staff. I hope to participate again. Next time, I want to see them under a blue sky and in clear water.
2015年11月21日AM7:00にハワイへ到着したらダーダーの雨、翌日22日も、、23日も朝から小雨がパラパラと不安になりながら私立イルカ中学のバスに乗り込みました。
イルカ学校のタカオ先生に注意事項を聞きながら港まで進みました。
最初はなんだか不機嫌そうな感じで参加者のみんなも不安そうな中話を始めましたが、途中急に大雨(T ^ T)ジャンジャン降りで「はい!先生の話をよ〜〜く聞いてください」と武田鉄矢をまねてみんなの不安そうな顔も少しほぐれてきたのか、港に着く間際に空が明るくなってきたでわありませんか(^ ^)みんなの祈りが通じたかのごとくでした!
早速ゾディアックに乗って目的のイルカを目指し出港した時には雨も上がり晴天になって来ました!
港の近く、浜辺近くは水が濁って茶色になってハワイの美しい海が台なしでした。
そう言って10分くらいでイルカの群れ発見‼︎イルカたちがソディアックすぐそばまで来て泳いでいました。海の透明度が悪くハッキリは見えませんがイルカの魚影が過ぎていくのを見れました。
船長がイルカの方向を確認し「ここで飛び込め!」のゴーサインが出ました!
早速入水しタカオ先生が「下見て!下見て!」の名物コール!濁った海の中にイルカの群れが通るのを確認しました!
イルカの群れが移動したのを見ると再度船に乗り込みイルカの群れを探しました。
残念ながらイルカの群れが濁った海の中から出てくるのを待ち船長のゴーサイン!みんなはかすかに見えたそうですが私には濁った海しか(T ^ T)
今回はとりあえず見ることができましたがやはり野生のイルカと自然の猛威に完敗でした。
先生、船長、スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。
また参加できたらよろしくお願いします。次回はブルースカイ&透き通った海でみたいです。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

In conclusion, I personally wasn't very satisfied with the experience. The reasons include that due to the large number of participants, there wasn't enough attention given to each individual. While I wanted to see dolphins, I didn't get to see any sea turtles. There are various other points, but overall, the content felt quite intense, and I think it would be difficult for older participants to join.
This is just my personal opinion, but I don't think I will go again.
結論からすると、個人的にあまり満足いく内容ではありませんでした。
理由は、人数が多い為ひとりひとりに対しての気がまわらない事。イルカをみるたが、別にウミガメはみれてない事。
等々ありますが、内容はかなりハードで年配の方の参加は厳しいように感じました。
本当に個人的な意見ですが、私はもう行かないと思います。
Thank you for participating this time. I apologize for not being able to meet your expectations. I would like to share your valuable feedback with all the staff.
この度はご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
期待に沿う事が出来なかったようで申し訳ございませんでした。貴重な意見としてスタッフ全員にシェアしたいと思います。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. During that time, we enrolled in Dolphin University.
Although it was quite early in the morning, the sister who came to pick us up was very energetic and talked non-stop for about an hour and a half to the port! We tried to sleep on the bus, but we were captivated by her interesting stories, making for a very enjoyable start to our day! However, it was quite cold on the bus... (><)
Once we boarded, we had fun listening to Hawaiian music while searching for dolphins. The beautiful sea and mountains were breathtaking! It seemed we were lucky that day, as we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins. There were about 30 of them, I think? They swam by swiftly, but for me, who had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, it was a very precious experience.
There were also many turtles, and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling! On the way back to the port, we were treated to cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. I couldn't eat any, but he said it was delicious and finished my portion too.
In the end, we learned a Hawaiian dance and danced together! It became a very fun memory! Thank you very much!
ハネムーンでハワイへ。
その際にイルカ大学へ入学させていただきました。
朝相当早かったのですが、迎えに来たお姉さんはとても元気で、港までの約1時間半、ずっと話続けておられました!バスで寝ようとしていた私達ですが、お姉さんの面白い話に聞き入り、出だしからとても楽しい時間でした!
ただ、バス内は相当寒かったです…(><)
乗船してからは、楽しくハワイの音楽を聞きながらイルカさんを探します。
綺麗な海と山が絶景です‼
この日は運が良かったようで、スグに群れを見付けることができました。
30頭くらいはいたのではないでしょうか?スーっと泳いでいってしまいますが、イルカと泳ぐことが夢であった私にとって、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
カメさんも沢山いて、シュノーケルも存分に楽しめました!
港までの帰り道は、チーズバーガーやジュース、お菓子までいただきました☆私は食べれなかったのですが、彼は美味しいと私の分までたいらげました(^^)
最後はハワイの踊りを教えてもらってみんなで踊りました!
とても楽しい思い出となりました!

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.
I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)
I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.
The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!
If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.
イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計3回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです!6匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。(船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます)
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい!
1つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが1個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念!1組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.
On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.
This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!
友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい!と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

My daughter, who loves the ocean, wanted to participate in a snorkeling experience with dolphins! I read reviews and didn't expect much when they said you swim with dolphins, as I thought they would just pass by below while snorkeling. However, I was amazed because I saw them clearly three times when I jumped in! They swam close to the boat, and I could also see them jumping in the distance, which was great! We were lucky to spot something that looked like a whale on the way there too!
When I asked my husband, who usually doesn't get very emotional, what he enjoyed the most in Hawaii, he said, "I got a bit tired from swimming, but it was probably the dolphins..." so I think he really enjoyed it. Just keep in mind that even though it's called snorkeling, you have to chase after the dolphins when they come, so it can be tough for those who aren't good swimmers, and if you fall behind, you might miss seeing them. If you can swim normally, you'll be fine. If we get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would love to join this tour again! (*^^*)
海が大好きな娘の希望でイルカとシュノーケルに参加しました!
口コミを見てイルカと泳ぐ・・・と言ってもシュノーケルしてる下の方をイルカが一瞬で通り過ぎるだけそれほど期待してはいなかったけど3度飛び込んで3度とも見えたし下の方でしたがはっきり見えたので感動でした!
ボートのそばを泳いでくらたり遠くではジャンプする姿も見え良かったです♪
行く途中で鯨らしき物も見えたのでラッキーでした!
普段あまり感動しない旦那さんに『ハワイで何が一番楽しかった?』と聞いたら『泳ぐのにちょっと疲れたけどイルカかな・・・』と言っていたのでよほど楽しかったと思います。
ただシュノーケルと言ってもイルカが来たら追いかけるように着いていかなければいけないので泳ぎの得意ではない人は大変だし遅れると見えない事もあります。
ふつうに泳げるなら大丈夫です。

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.
First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.
The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.
The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.
Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.
▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.
▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.
For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.
I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.
ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ!」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました;
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る!みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる~という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません^^;
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度?と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした;
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。
その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか~という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ!という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験!みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、BBQという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
BBQの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがBBQと思って参加される方は「これだけ?」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。
その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。
▼気になった点
・BBQは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは?
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない&聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく(数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね~という感じ)ちょっと大変&席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない(数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな)
▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい
他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度(時間の幅取り)がほしいかなと思います。
少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

I was so excited about my first trip to Hawaii that I forgot to call the dolphin desk after arriving at the hotel, but I managed to get in touch the night before and was able to join the tour without any issues.
The meeting time was 6 AM. It was still dark, with the sun not yet risen, when we were picked up by a bright yellow bus. I was quite sleepy and thought I would take a nap on the way, but the student council president (the guide) gave a detailed and entertaining explanation about the port we were heading to, the types of dolphins we might see, important notes, and equipment, all while incorporating some impersonations. As a result, I didn’t get a second of sleep during the approximately one-hour ride to the port.
We boarded a high-speed boat to search for dolphins, and it was so much fun! The boat sped along just above the water's surface, bouncing over large waves, making me forget for a moment that we were searching for dolphins. We got splashed with water, so it was cold regardless of the water temperature. I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I didn’t feel the chill, but my husband, without a wetsuit, seemed to be quite cold.
The boat went all the way from Waianae to beyond Ko Olina, but we didn’t find any dolphins. We returned to Waianae, but still no dolphins. The student council president's face started to look more and more worried. As the tour was nearing its end without anyone having entered the water, and just when everyone was starting to give up, the student council president made a surprising suggestion.
After checking the participants' plans, and since no one was in a hurry to return, we decided to continue searching for dolphins! This time, we headed north to Makua Beach. There, we found dolphins! We immediately jumped into the water and were able to swim with seven dolphins.
After that, we enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles at another spot before returning to the port, where we were taken back to the hotel. We arrived an hour later than scheduled, but I was really glad to have been able to swim with the dolphins.
In a typical tour, I think it would have ended with, "We didn’t see any this time. It can’t be helped since they are wild dolphins." But Dolphin Middle School was different.
I am truly grateful to the student council president and the crew for not giving up and continuing to search for dolphins until the end.
初めてのハワイ旅行にすっかり舞い上がり、ホテル到着後イルカデスクに電話連絡することを忘れてしまいましたが、前日の夜に連絡をとることができ、無事ツアーに参加できました。
集合は朝6時。まだ朝日も昇っておらず暗い中、鮮やかな黄色いバスでピックアップ。かなり眠たかったので、行きのバスで仮眠を…と思っていましたが、生徒会長(=ガイドさん)より、これから行く港の場所や、見られるイルカの種類、諸注意、装備につい等々、モノマネを交えながら面白く細かく説明されるため、港に到着するまでの約1時間、寝る時間は1秒もありませんでした。
港から高速船に乗ってイルカを探すのですが、この船が楽しい!海面スレスレをビュンビュン飛ばして進み、大波を越える時は大きくバウンドして、イルカを探していることを一瞬忘れます。水しぶきを浴びながら進むので、水温に関係なく寒いです。私は$10でウェットスーツを借りていたので感じませんでしたが、ウェットスーツなしの主人はかなり寒かったようです。
船はワイアナエからコオリナの先まで進みましたが、イルカ発見ならず。ワイアナエまで戻るも、やはりイルカはいない。生徒会長の顔もだんだん曇ってきます。一度も海に入ることなくツアー終了の時間が近づき、誰もが諦めかけたとき、生徒会長からの意外な提案が。
ツアー参加者にこの後の予定を確認し、特に急いで帰りたい人がいなかったため、イルカ探しを続行することに!今度は北へ船を進ませマクアビーチへ。そこでイルカ発見!すぐさま海へ入り、7頭のイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
その後、別のポイントでウミガメとシュノーケリングを楽しんでから帰港し、ホテルへと送迎してもらいました。予定より1時間も遅れての到着となりましたが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたので本当に良かったです。
普通のツアーなら「今回は見られませんでした。野生のイルカだから仕方ないですね。」で終了だと思いますが、イルカ中学は違いました。
最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれた生徒会長やクルーの皆さんに感謝、感謝です。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was great to meet the dolphin instructors! We look forward to your next visit!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。イルカ先生達と会えて良かったです!!またのご参加をお待ちしております!

I was able to swim with wild dolphins. It was an early morning tour with mostly shy Japanese participants, but the staff worked hard to keep the energy up, thank you! While meeting the dolphins was important, I think just experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the West Coast, which I rarely get to visit, made the tour worthwhile. By the way, the cheeseburger was delicious; I wanted to say, "I'll have another!"
野生のイルカと泳ぐことができました、朝早いうえに内気な日本人ばかりのツアー、スタッフの方々は頑張って盛り上げてくださいましたありがとうございます、イルカと出会えるのも大切ですがなかなか訪れることのない西海岸の息をのむ美しい景色に出会えただけでツアーに参加した価値があると思います、それにしてもチーズバーガーおいしかったな、”おかわり!と言いたかった。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please be sure to have a second helping of the cheeseburger next time! We look forward to your next participation!

Booking with VELTRA was really easy and fast, I gave them my information and they took care of the rest for me.
Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.
The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.
I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.
Mahalo Karol for joining us! It was our pleasure to introduce you to the West Side's wild life. We do hope you come out and see us again!

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.
First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.
Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.
I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.
After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.
Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.
After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.
Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.
朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったUSB(60ドル)を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。USBを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、USBにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ(プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした)、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台(船の上から海にとびこみます)もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー(タロイモの紫のパンズ)とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
船からおりたら港のトイレ(ひろくてきれいです)にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

I had a hard time finding them and searched by boat, but I'm glad I was able to reach the westernmost sea! When we saw them, they were swimming quickly, so we couldn't watch for long, but we were able to see the dolphins up close and even heard their ultrasonic conversations, which was amazing! The staff and guides were also very lively, making it a truly enjoyable memory! When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to enroll again!
なかなか出会えず船で探しましたが、最西端の海にいけたのでよかったです!
私たちがみたときは泳ぐスピードが速くて長くは見れませんでしたが、イルカも近くで見れて超音波の会話?まで聞こえて感動しました!

My husband and I participated in the tour.
Due to the large number of participants, we departed in two groups, but it turned out to be very lucky for us to be in a smaller group!
The explanations were incredibly thorough, and I don't think there are many tours in Japan that provide such detailed information.
The staff were all friendly and created a wonderful atmosphere (^_^).
When we finally saw dolphins, it was truly moving! Although they were a bit far away, seeing a pod of dozens of them was breathtaking! It was thanks to the captain and the staff's keen eyes (T ^ T).
And miraculously, we spotted a whale! It disappeared in an instant, but I believe it was a miracle to see one at this time of year.
The most thrilling moment was swimming with sea turtles, which had been a dream of mine! Being able to see them up close and having several appear was absolutely amazing! I'm already hooked.
I am filled with gratitude for all the staff! Thank you very much. I believe this tour is worth more than the price.
主人と利用させていただきました。
1便が人数が多いため2便での出発になりましたが、少人数で逆にとてもラッキーでした!
説明が本当に丁寧で、日本でもここまで説明してくれるツアーはそうないと思います。
スタッフの皆さんも和気あいあいでとてもいい雰囲気でした(^_^)
念願のイルカを見れた時は本当に感動!!
少し遠かったですが、数十頭の群れをなす姿は圧巻

船長やスタッフさんの千里眼のおかけです(T ^ T)
そして、奇跡的にクジラの姿を目撃しました!
一瞬でいなくなってしまいましたが、この時期に見れたのは奇跡だと思います。
そして1番の感激は 夢だった海ガメと泳げたこと!
あんなに間近で見られて、何頭も現れてくれて本当に最高でした!

I signed up with my two daughters. We didn't see any dolphins at all... I understand it's wild, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was very disappointing. We did manage to spot a sea turtle from the moving boat, but they didn't slow down for us, and there was no explanation from the guide! As for the light snack? Just one piece of cheese and a paper cup of tea! We had brought our own bottled drinks!
I heard we could retry for half price, but spending nearly 70,000 yen for the three of us to see dolphins... Everyone's spirits dropped, and it turned into a very quiet tour. I regret not signing up for a different tour.
娘達と3人で申し込みました。
イルカには全然会えず……野生なのでしょうがないのでしょうが楽しみにしていただけにとても残念でした。しかも海ガメは走っているボートから自力でなんとか見つけ見ることができましたがスピードを落としてくれるわけでもないし ガイドさんからの説明もなし!軽食?……チーズ1本、紙コップ1杯のお茶!自分達はしっかりペットボトルを持ち込んで飲んでいました!
半額でリトライできるとの事でしたが3人でイルカを見るために7万近いお金は……
皆テンションガタ落ちですごーく静かなツアーとなりました。他のツアーに申し込めば良かったと後悔してます。
Thank you for participating. We apologize for not meeting your expectations. We will share your feedback with all staff to improve future tours.

This time, I participated in an activity at the prestigious Dolphin University for the first time. I had never experienced snorkeling before, so I was anxious about keeping up with everyone, but thanks to the fun instructors' guidance, I was able to see wild spinner dolphins right from the start. Since they were wild, I learned various things, such as the cute sounds of the dolphins, the scars they have from surviving in nature (like from battles with sharks), and how the pods move.
However, not everyone was able to observe the spinner dolphins, so we tried multiple times, and finally, on the third attempt, everyone succeeded. I had signed up for stand-up paddleboarding because I wanted to experience it, but due to time constraints, we were unable to do it. I was quite disappointed about that. However, I felt a strong sense of unity with my classmates as we all aimed for success, which was very moving.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish, but the guide was feeding them with bread or something, so if we were focused on wild dolphins and wild sea turtles, I wish they had also emphasized keeping it wild in that aspect. Nevertheless, the tour at the prestigious Dolphin University was overall very enjoyable, and I was able to encounter the dolphins I was aiming for, so I am very satisfied.
今回、初めて名門イルカ大学さんのアクティビティーに参加させて頂きました。私は、今までシュノーケリングなどを経験したことがなかったので、周りついていけるか不安でしたが、楽しいインストラクターの方々の誘導により、一発目から野生のスピナードルフィンをみることができました。野生だったので、可愛いイルカの声や、自然界を生き抜いていることによる傷跡(サメ等と戦った後)、そして群れがどのように動いていくのか等と、様々なことを知ることができました。
ただ、全員がスピナードルフィンを観測できたわけではなかったので、何度もトライをし、ついに三回目で全員成功となりました。
スタンドアップパドルを体験したく、こちらの名門イルカ大学さんに申し込みを入れましたが、時間がおした関係で、スタンドアップパドルをする事ができなくなってしまいました。今回、その点はとても残念でした。しかし、クラスメイト全員で成功をさせよう!という団結力も久しぶりに味わい、なんだかとっても感動いたしました。
また、シュノーケリングの際にはたくさんのお魚をみる事が出来ましたが、ガイドの方がパン?か何かで魚に餌付けをしていたので、野生のイルカや野生のウミガメなどにこだわっていたのならば、
そこも野生にこだわって欲しかったなぁと思います。
ですが、今回の名門イルカ大学さんのツアーは
全体的にとても楽しく、目当てのイルカにもしっかりと遭遇する事が出来たため、
とても満足しています。

On the second day of arriving in Hawaii, I finally went on the long-awaited dolphin tour. Swimming with dolphins has been my dream since I was young. I boarded the yellow school bus of Dolphin Academy and went to meet the dolphins. The blue sky and blue sea of Hawaii provided a dreamlike experience. It felt as if I were swimming in an aquarium, like being in a painting. The color of the sea was wonderfully clear, leaving me speechless. I was able to feel a sense of unity with the beautiful dolphins that I love so much.
The tour was set up like a school, and even though it was only half a day, I felt like a student again. Our guide, Minako, was full of smiles and explained everything clearly, creating a fantastic classroom atmosphere from start to finish. Next, I am considering participating in the Manta University on the Big Island. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.
At the end, I did get a bit seasick, but I appreciate how kind everyone was. I recommend that those who are not confident about seasickness bring motion sickness medication. It would be a shame for such a precious time to be ruined... *sigh*

船酔いに自信の無い方は、酔い止めを持参される事をお勧めします。せっかくの貴重な時間が、残念な事になってしまいます、、、苦笑
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

This was my first time participating, and since it was our honeymoon in Hawaii, I decided to join because I heard there was a place to swim with dolphins. I had been to Hawaii a few times before, but this was a special occasion.
Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine since childhood, and I was nervous the day before, but once I got on the bus, the powerful staff's stories were so entertaining that my sleepiness and anxiety disappeared!
Since the dolphins are wild, there’s no guarantee you’ll see them, so I was excited as we boarded the boat. Just five minutes after boarding, we suddenly encountered a pod of dolphins. The clear sea and the dolphins swimming together were truly mystical, and I experienced emotions like never before. I was overwhelmed to have this experience three times!
The program was already more than enough, but during the snorkeling afterward, I was able to see many turtles and Hawaiian fish, and I even got to try paddle surfing, which I had always wanted to do. I was very satisfied!
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! It was impressive how everyone came together for the final hula dance, creating a lively atmosphere.
I want to bring my children here someday! It became a wonderful memory!
今回初めての参加でした、新婚旅行でのハワイ、ハワイには何回かは行っていたのですがイルカと泳げる所があると言うことで新婚旅行だったので初めて参加しようと決めました。
小さい頃からの夢、イルカと泳ぐ事が出来ると前日から緊張していたのですが、バスに入ったらパワフルなスタッフの方の話がとても面白く眠さと緊張も吹き飛びました!!
イルカは野生なので100%出会えるわけではないと言うことでドキドキしながらボートに乗船、乗船してから5分後いきなりイルカに出会える事が出来ました、透き通る海にイルカの群れがなんとも神秘的で今までにない感動を味わいました、それも三回も味わう事が出来て感無量でした。
これまでのプログラムでも充分でしたが、その後のシュノーケルでは亀やハワイの魚と沢山見るとことができ、一度やってみたかったパドルサーフィンにもチャレンジ出来て大満足でした!!
ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく!!最後みんなでやるフラダンスで一致団結して盛り上がったのも印象的でした。
子供が出来たら連れていきたいと思います!!とてもよい思い出になりました!
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

I had been searching for a tour where I could see and swim with dolphins in the ocean, and I finally found one. I was truly moved when I spotted a pod of dolphins swimming. Moreover, I was able to hear their calls, which was a very precious experience.
The underwater world was amazing, but the view of the mountains, landscapes, and sky from the surface was also incredibly beautiful. I was able to fully immerse myself in nature by diving and floating on my back.
After dolphin watching, there was free time for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing, allowing everyone to enjoy their time in the ocean. I was thrilled to swim alongside a sea turtle, and it was so cute.
Unfortunately, there was a sudden issue with another guest that required us to return to the port, so I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy the anticipated BBQ on the boat or the hula lesson. However, I felt reassured by the crew's quick response and believe this is a tour I can participate in with confidence.
I would love to join again if the opportunity arises. The taro burger was also delicious.
海の中でイルカを見たり、泳げたり出来るツアーをずっと探していてやっと出会えたツアーです。
イルカの群れを見つけ泳ぐ姿を目にした時は本当に感動しました。
しかもイルカの鳴き声も聞くことが出来て、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
水の中の世界も素晴らしかったけど、水面から見える山や、風景、空の景色も最高にきれいで、もぐったり、仰向けで浮かんだりと大自然を身体いっぱいに感じることが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングの後にはフリーのシュノーケルの時間やサップ、カヌー等のアクティビティもあり、海あそびをそれぞれが思い思いに、楽しむ時間もあり楽しかったです。
その時にウミガメも真横で一緒に泳ぐことが出来てうれしかったし、とてもかわいかったです。
途中他のお客さんにトラブルがあり急遽港に戻ることになったので、楽しみにしていた船上BBQやフラレッスンが楽しめなかったのがとても残念でしたが、その時のクルーの人達の迅速な対応を見て安心して参加出来るツアーだと思いました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
タロイモバーガーも美味しかったです。

I participated in a tour at the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend. The tour guide was very energetic and cheerful from start to finish. It was mentioned that it might take some time to find wild dolphins depending on the day, but just about five minutes after getting on the boat, we spotted dolphins! When I jumped off the boat to see them, I was moved to see a large group of about 30 dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when I thought it was over, the guide suggested we search a bit more. So, we got back on the boat and, while looking for dolphins again, we found them once more! The boat was brought close, and when I jumped in, they were really close!! It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins. I believe we were able to see the dolphins up close thanks to the guide who drove the boat ahead of the dolphins and gave us directions. Even after getting back on the boat, we continued to look for dolphins, and they swam close to the boat. I was constantly excited, as they were within reach if I stretched out my hand.
Next was the sea turtle exploration!
As an amateur, I had a hard time spotting where the sea turtles were, but when the guide pointed one out, I confirmed it was really swimming there. When I jumped in again, I was able to get close enough to touch it. Additionally, I saw colorful fish while snorkeling, making it a packed snorkeling experience. The fun didn’t stop there; we also got to experience kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding as part of the physical education class. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers, and we wrapped up with a hula dance, making it an incredibly full and amazing tour. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii.
友達と2人で名門イルカ大学に参加させていただぎした。ツアーガイドのお姉さんは初めから最後までとても元気で明るく対応してくださいました。野生のイルカのため日によっては見つかるまでに時間がかかるということでしたが、船に乗って5分ほどしたところでイルカ発見!船から飛び降り中を見ると30頭ほどのイルカの大群が優雅に泳いでおりとても感動しました。ここで終わりかと思いきやもう少し探しましょう。とのことで再度、船の上にあがりイルカを探しているとまた発見!近くまで船を近づけてもらい飛び降りるとほんとに近い!!イルカの群れと一緒に泳いでるという感覚でした。イルカが泳ぐさきを先回りで船を運転し、指示をくれるガイドさんがいるおかげでこんなに近くでイルカが見れたのだと思います。また船に上がってもイルカを探し、船の近くにイルカがよってきて泳いでいました。ほんとに手を伸ばせば届く距離の位置で常にテンションが上がりっぱなしでした。
次に海亀散策!
素人目ではどこに海亀がいるのかなかなか見つけられませんでしたが、ガイドさんがいるー!とのことで確認すると、ほんとに泳いでました。また飛び込むとこれもほんとに触れる位置まで近づくことができました。その他にもカラフルな魚をシュノーケルしながら見れ盛りだくさんのシュノーケルでした。まだまだ終わらず体育の授業とこのとでカヤックとスタンドアップパドルも経験でき、お昼ご飯チーズバーガーがでて、最後はフラダンスでしめるというほんとに盛りだくさんのツアーで最高のツアーだったと思います。またハワイに来る時は参加したいと思いました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

On the third day in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. I joined hoping to see dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any today... It seems quite difficult to encounter wild dolphins. I think it's better to be prepared for that when you sign up. However, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was great. We snorkeled in fairly deep water. I'm not very good at swimming, so I was a bit scared at first, but it was fine since we were in a group. I think it's reassuring that the staff keeps a close watch on us. There was also a photographer who took pictures both on the boat and in the water. However, it costs about $60 to purchase the USB. The boat to the dolphin viewing area rocks quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. Lastly, you can enjoy a cheeseburger made by the captain, which was delicious. They also perform hula dancing. I was really disappointed not to see dolphins, but I had fun seeing the sea turtles and fish.
ハワイ3日目にツアーに参加しました。
イルカを見たくて参加したのですが、今日は運悪く見ることができませんでした…
自然のイルカに会うことは中々難しいみたいです…
お申し込みの際はそれを覚悟の上で申し込みされた方がいいと思います。
でも、シュノーケルの時にウミガメが見れたのでよかったです。
結構、深いところでシュノーケルをしました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので最初は少し怖かったですが、団体で行動するので大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方もしっかり見ていてくれるので安心だと思います。
カメラマンの方もいらっしゃるので船の上や海の中も撮影してくれます。
でも、USBを購入するのに$60ぐらいかかります。
イルカを見る場所に行くまでのボートがかなり揺れますので、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
最後に、キャプテンが作るチーズバーガーが食べれます。
おいしかったです。
フラダンスを踊ってくれたりもします。
イルカが見れなくて本当に残念でしたが、ウミガメや魚が見られて楽しかったです。

On this tour, we went in search of the common dolphin. It seems that encountering bottlenose dolphins, which appear in aquarium shows, is quite difficult. However, it turned out to be a lucky day for us, as we were able to see not only common dolphins but also bottlenose dolphins.
このツアーではハシナガイルカを探しに行きます。水族館のショーに登場するバンドウイルカはなかなか遭遇することが難しいとのことでした。私たちが行った日は当たりだったようでハシナガイルカだけでなく、バンドウイルカにも会うことがでいました。

I participated on September 26th. The weather was very nice.
It was an early morning, but the guide was very energetic, so it's better to prepare yourself for not being able to sleep on the bus (I slept like a log on the way back).
We were able to see a lot of dolphins, including baby dolphins, which was incredibly moving. It was my first time seeing them up close. At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling and swimming in the ocean, and I could barely keep up with the guide, but I gradually got the hang of it.
The guide would call out things like "Look down!" so I think it would be easy to spot the dolphins when they appear.
After seeing the dolphins, we swam in another location to see turtles. That place had crystal-clear water and many tropical fish, making it very beautiful.
I was told not to touch the turtles, but since they swam towards me, I was desperately trying to avoid them. I was moved to see a turtle taking a breath at the surface right in front of me.
While moving by boat, I felt lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins.
Regarding what to bring when participating, I think it's best to take only the essentials. Since water splashes into the boat, it's a good idea to keep your belongings in a waterproof bag.
Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication (a few people felt unwell on the way back).
Of course, meeting the dolphins was amazing, but I was really glad I participated because I got to snorkel in such beautiful waters.
9 月 26 日に参加してきました。天候もとてもよかったです。
朝早かったですが、ガイドの人がとても元気いっぱいで、行きのバスの中で寝ることはできないと考えておいたほうが良いです(帰りは爆睡でした)。
イルカはたくさん見ることができました。赤ちゃんイルカもいてすごく感動しました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてでした。最初はシュノーケルと海で泳ぐことになれておらず、ガイドの人についていくのが精いっぱいでしたが、段々と慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が「下みて~」などの声かけをしてくれるので、イルカが出現したら見ることは簡単だと思います。
イルカを見た後に、亀を見るために別の場所で泳ぎました。その場所は水も透き通っていて、熱帯魚もたくさんいてとてもきれいでした。
亀には触れないようにと言われましたが、亀が自分の方に泳いでくるので、よけるので必死でした。海面で息継ぎをする亀を、目の前でみられて感動しました。
ボートで移動中にも、イルカの群れに遭遇できて得をした気分でした。
参加するときの荷物についてですが、必要最低限のものを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。船の中に水しぶきが入ってくるので、防水の袋に入れておいたほうがいいです。
あと、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います(帰りの船で数名気分が悪くなっていたので)。
イルカに会えるのももちろんですが、きれいな海でシュノーケルができたので、参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

I participated in a tour of the prestigious Dolphin University with a friend! I was excited because we were supposed to swim with wild dolphins and turtles!
In the morning, I was a bit anxious because the meeting time was early! But I was relieved that we arrived on time! However, since there were explanations on the bus, I stayed awake and listened seriously to the information!
Although I was feeling a bit dazed on the way, everyone on the boat was cheerful!! The staff were really energetic!!
We were able to meet the dolphins in less than five minutes!! They were so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch them, which was very moving!
At the end, they taught us how to do the hula on the boat, and it was so much fun d(^_^o) It was a very friendly tour with everyone! Just be careful not to play too much, as you'll need to conserve your energy to enjoy it fully! ☻
友達と2人で名門イルカ大学のツアーに参加させてもらいました!
野生のイルカとカメと泳げると言う事だったので楽しみでした!
朝、集合時間が早かったので不安でした!
でも時間通りに行けたので一安心!
ただ行きのバスで説明事項などあるので
向かうバスは寝ずに話を真剣に聞きました!
意識朦朧と向かったのですが、
船の上はみんな和気あいあいでした!!
スタッフさんたちがまず元気!!
イルカさん達には5分もかからず会う事が出来ました!!
手が届いちゃうんじゃないかってとこまで近くにいてとても感動しました!
最後の船上でフラを教えてくれるのですが、とても楽しかったですd(^_^o)
みんなで和気あいあいしたツアーでした!
ただ遊びすぎて体力は温存して挑まないと
辛いと思います!☻
