It wasn't nearby, but I was able to see dolphins. There are also plenty of hula and water activities, so I think it's great for when you want to enjoy a variety of things. But what about when you're specifically aiming to see just the dolphins???
近くではありませんでしたがイルカさん見れました
フラやウォーターアクティビティーも充実しているので、いろいろ楽しみたい時にはいいと思います
イルカちゃんだけが狙いの時はどうでしょうか???

The beautiful, clear sea allowed me to see the dolphins swimming right below me! The sea turtle professor swims slowly, so I could see it up close!
綺麗な海で透き通っているので、イルカ先生が泳いでいくのを自分が泳いでいる真下で見ることができました!!
ウミガメ大教授はゆっくり泳いでいるのですごく近くで見れます!

Someone asked me today what my favorite activity was in Hawaii and I told them hands down the Dolphin and Snorkel Catamaran trip was the best and most memorable. We got to see a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and then snorkeling saw some Sea Turtles and many varieties of tropical fish. The wind picked up enough on our way back that the crew put the beautiful sails up and we sailed back .The food and drink were great and the crew were beyond helpful and so much fun. This is the one activity I would be sure to do again when we come back to Oahu!

I participated on September 25th!
We were blessed with good weather and encountered a large pod of dolphins multiple times.
The waves weren't too high, making it relatively easy to swim.
The experience felt like being thrown into the ocean and then swimming to chase the dolphins! So, if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be best to stick closely to the instructor (there are several in the water as well).
Even for someone like me who can swim, I felt it might be physically challenging at times.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and water splashed, so it's better to bring only things that can get wet. Don't forget motion sickness medication.
I was worried about getting seasick, but the pleasant breeze and beautiful scenery made for a comfortable boat trip.
The instructors were very lively, and the secret catchphrase (Shitamite Shitamite! Koko Shitamite~!) and dance were very memorable.
It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy from start to finish!
It was a moment to experience the beautiful ocean that is characteristic of Hawaii.
I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof camera!
9月25日参加させていただきました!
天気にも恵まれイルカの大群に何度も出会えました。
波はそんなに高くなく、比較的泳ぎやすかったと思います。
海の中へ放り出されてイルカみつけたらそこへ泳いで追いかける!という感じなので、泳ぎが得意でない方インストラクターの方にピッタリついていた方がいいかも。
(海の中でも何名かいらっしゃいます)
泳げる私でさえ体力的に途中厳しいかも…と感じました。
船が大分揺れて水がはねるので、濡れても良い物だけをお持ちする方がいいですよ。酔い止めもお忘れなく。
船酔いが心配だった私ですが、気持ちの良い風と素敵な景色で快適な船旅でした。
インストラクターの方々は大変ノリの良い方たちで、秘密の合言葉(シタミテシタミテ!ココシタミテ〜!)やダンスはとても印象的です。
最初から最後まで大人も子供も楽しめるツアーでした!
海が綺麗なハワイらしい経験が出来たひとときです。
ぜひ防水カメラをお持ちになることをオススメします!

This was my second time participating. I made a reservation because I wanted to see dolphins again, just like when I went on my honeymoon. He was scared of the ocean and didn't want to go, but he was excited to see wild dolphins up close. In the end, he was happily chatting with the staff.
On that day, 8 out of 12 groups were honeymooners. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this activity.
私は2回目の参加でした。自分の新婚旅行で行った時にももう一度イルカに会いたくて予約しました。彼は海が怖いので嫌がっていましたが、野生のイルカをこんなに近くで見られて興奮していました。最後にはスタッフの方と楽しく話していました。
この日12組中8組がハネムーナーでした。船もあまり揺れないのでオススメのアクティビティーです。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my husband for our honeymoon. I'm not a morning person, but I was excited about the possibility of swimming with dolphins, so I made a reservation! On the morning of the tour, I was very sleepy, but our energetic guide shared stories about dolphins, Hawaii, and even the home of Ko Nishiki, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. First, we all sang a song while making wishes with plumeria flowers, and then we set off! The first destination was the sea where the dolphins are! I was a bit anxious since there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, we quickly encountered many dolphins! According to our guide, it's quite rare to see a pod of about 50 dolphins, and I was truly moved to swim so close to so many dolphins! We also greeted them with a proper Hawaiian "Aloha"! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles, but I felt a bit cold and could only see them from the boat. However, the real sea turtles were impressive and a little intimidating. After that, we enjoyed activities like kayaking and paddleboarding! Finally, we all danced a simple hula together and said goodbye to the crew with smiles. It was a tour filled with laughter and wonderful people. I heard there are various other activities besides the dolphin experience, so I want to try those next time! Thank you for such a wonderful memory!
今回、初めてハネムーンで旦那さんとハワイに行きました。朝はとても弱いですが、イルカと泳げるかもしれない!ということでワクワクして予約しました^ ^当日の朝はとても眠たかったですが、すごく元気なガイドさんがイルカの話やハワイの話、コニシキさんのお家なども教えてくれてあっという間に港に到着。まずはプルメリアの花に願いを込めて全員で歌を歌い、出発!!最初に向かったのはイルカ先生のいる海!見れない日もあるということで内心不安でしたが、運がよく、すぐにたくさんのイルカ達に出会う事ができました!ガイドさん曰く、50頭ほどのイルカの群れに会えるのはごく稀なことだそうで、本当に間近でたくさんのイルカと泳げて感動しました!ちゃんとハワイの挨拶、アロハもしました!その後はウミガメシュノーケルでしたが、私は少し寒くて船の上でしか見れませんでした。でも実物のウミガメは迫力満点で、少し怖いくらいでした。その後はカヤックやパドルなどのアクティビィティを楽しみました!最後はみんなで簡単なフラダンスを踊って、船の方とは笑顔でお別れ。本当にいい人達ばかりで終始笑いが絶えないツアーでした。イルカ大学以外にも色々あるみたいなので次はそちらにも挑戦したいです!本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました!!

My first time in Hawaii, my first time snorkeling, my first time seeing wild dolphins—everything was a first, and I participated with a mix of excitement and anxiety. A bus came to pick us up right in front of the hotel, and it was about a one-hour ride to the ocean. During that time, our energetic guide shared many fun and interesting stories about Hawaii and the ecology of dolphins. Thanks to her, my sleepy body was fully awakened, and I was getting excited about meeting the dolphins!
Before I knew it, we arrived at the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat, got ready to jump into the water, and set off! Then, we were told that there were dolphins nearby, and we all jumped into the sea! With the signal to "look down!!!", I desperately looked below, and there they were!!! I could see the dolphins swimming beneath us!!! It was breathtaking!
Soon after, more dolphins appeared! We all jumped in again, and with the signal to dive, we saw even more dolphins swimming! I even spotted some smaller dolphins. I learned that baby dolphins can be seen during this season, and they were so small and cute, which moved me once again! Just as I wanted to see more dolphins, it was almost time to leave. As we were about to depart, a large group of dolphins swam right next to our boat! It felt like they had come back to say goodbye to us!!! Everyone was so excited! The guide was also amazed and said she had goosebumps. I was so moved that I almost cried.
Still wanting to meet more dolphins, we all said "Mahalo! Aloha!" to the dolphins and moved on to the next spot to meet the turtle professor. There, we were greeted by stunning scenery. Among the many beautiful fish swimming around, there he was!!! The turtle professor!!!! Swimming gracefully at his own pace, he truly embodied the essence of a professor!!! It was so cute to see him come up for air. Then, I noticed that four turtle professors had gathered together. In the transparent blue sea, the beautiful fish and the swimming turtle professors created such a stunning sight that I found myself lost in the beauty of it all, without a single thought in my mind. It was truly a magnificent view.
The time spent with the dolphins and the turtle professor was so enjoyable that it flew by, but I was really glad to have participated. I silently promised the dolphins and the turtle professor that I would come back to see them again. It became an unforgettable memory.
初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリング、初めての野生のイルカ、すべてが初めてで、最初はドキドキと不安いっぱいで参加しました。ホテルの前までバスが迎えに来てくれて、海まで約1時間の乗車でした。その間、元気いっぱいのガイドのお姉さんが、ハワイの話や、イルカの生態についてなど、楽しくて興味のある話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。そのおかげで、早朝でちょっと眠かった体が、すっかり目覚めて、これからイルカに会えるんだー!っとテンションが上がってきました。お話に夢中になってると、あっという間に海に到着。さっそく船に乗り込み、海へ飛び込む準備を済ませ、船は出発しました!
すると、すぐに!!イルカ先生がいるとのことで、みんなで海へ飛び込みました!「下見てー!!!」の合図で、必死に下を見ていると、、、来たー!!!イルカ先生達が泳いでいる姿が下の方に見えました!!!透き通ったブルーの中で、イルカ達が泳いでいきました!!!感動でした!
そのあともすぐにイルカ先生登場!!みんなで飛び込み、下見てー!!の合図で潜ると、またまたイルカ達が泳いでいる姿が見えました!!!少し小さいイルカも見えました。この時期は赤ちゃんイルカも見られるそうなので、小さくて可愛いなと、またまた感動しました!!!もっともっとイルカ先生に会いたいと思っていると、そろそろイルカ先生の時間は終了。海を出発しようとしていた時、なんと、イルカ先生の大群が、私達の船のすぐ横を通過していきました!まるで私達にお別れの挨拶をしに戻って来てくれたかのようでした!!!みんなで大興奮!!ガイドのお姉さんも、鳥肌が立ったと驚いていました。わたしも感動して涙が出そうになりました。まだまだイルカ先生と出会いたい気持ちを残したまま、イルカ先生達にみんなで「マハロー!アロハー!」とお別れをし、次は、カメ大教授へ会いに次のスポットへ移動。そこでも、素晴らしい景色が私達を待っていました。綺麗な魚達がたくさん泳いでいる中に、いました!!!カメ大教授!!!!優雅にマイペースに泳いでいる姿は、貫禄があり、まさに大教授でした!!!水面で息継ぎをする姿がとても可愛かったです。そして気づくと、なんと、カメ大教授が4匹集まって来ていました。透き通ったブルーの海に、綺麗な魚達と、カメ大教授の泳ぐ姿、とても美しくて、何も考えずに、その海の景色だけをずっとずっと見ていました。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。
楽しすぎて、あっという間のイルカ先生とカメ大教授の授業でしたが、本当に参加して良かったです。また会いに来るねと心の中でイルカ先生とカメ大教授に誓いました。一生忘れられない思い出になりました。

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.
迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。
ですから、着替えやバスタオルも濡れます。
防水加工がしてあるバッグにまとめるか、バッグを入れることのできる大きめのビニル袋の携帯をオススメします。

I always go snorkeling, but I booked this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins. It takes a little time to get to the location, but the sea is clear. When we spotted the dolphins, we all jumped into the water. The dolphins swam gracefully in the deep water.
It might be a bit different from what you imagine when you see it on TV, but wild dolphins are amazing. We also got to go canoeing, which was fantastic. The hamburger we had at the end was the best for the kids.
シュノーケリングは、いつもしているがイルカと泳ぎたいというリクエストに、このツアーに予約をしました。場所までは、少し時間がかかりますが、海は澄んでいます。イルカ発見いっせいに海へ。イルカは深いところを優雅に泳いでいます。
テレビで見ているような一緒に泳ぐを想像するとちょっと違うかも。しかし野生のイルカ最高です。そのほかに、カヌーなどもさせていただいて。最高。最後に食べたハンバーガーが子供たち最高でしたということです。

Waking up early was worth it.
I was able to swim with a large pod of wild dolphins and even with false killer whales. The captain was flexible and extended our time by about an hour, and we were also able to do activities like stand-up paddleboarding.
There were many people who got seasick, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.
朝は早いですが、早起きして頑張って行った甲斐がありました。
野生のイルカの大群、そしてオキゴンドウとも泳ぐことが出来ました。
船長さんが臨機応変に移動してくださり、1時間ほど延長しましたが、SUP等もできました。
船酔いされてる方がたくさんいたので

I enrolled the day after arriving in Hawaii. The pickup for enrollment was at 6:10 AM. We had orientation on the bus. Thanks to the staff, I was sleepy at this point but gradually got more excited. In the first hour, I got to meet several dolphin professors, and then we changed locations to meet a large number of faculty members. I was very satisfied to see the dolphin professors perform their spins. In the second hour, at first, the turtle professor was in a bad mood and we couldn't meet him. Just when I thought he finally showed up, he appeared right in front of me. By this time, I was quite tired, and keeping up with the classes at my age was a bit challenging... The staff noticed I was tired and handed me a buoy, which was a great help. In gym class, there were some waves, and I tried stand-up paddleboarding but couldn't stand up well, so I got back on the boat early and went for lunch. After that, I had a really fun time with hula, and I graduated safely. Thank you to all the staff, dolphin, and turtle professors.
ハワイに着いた翌日に入学しました。入学は早朝6時10分にピックアップ。
バスの中でのオリエンテーション。スタッフのおかげで、この時点で眠いけど徐々にテンション上がる。一時間目のイルカ教授の時間は一度目は数等のイルカ教授に会うことができ、もう一度場所を変え、今度は、大量の教授陣。イルカ教授のスピンを見ることができ大満足。二時間目は最初、亀教授はご機嫌斜めでなかなか会えず。やっと登場したと思ったらなんと目の前に。このあたりでかなり疲れ、還暦にはちょっと授業についていくのが・・・スタッフが疲れたのを察知し浮きを渡してくれ、助かりました。体育の授業は少し波が有りスタンドアップパドルに挑戦しましたがなかなか立てず、早々にボートにあがり、給食に。そのあとフラと本当に楽しく、そして無事、卒業。スタッフの皆さん、イルカ、亀教授ありがとう。

I was nervous during my first snorkeling experience, but I was able to see dolphins perfectly! I encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and I was truly moved when a baby dolphin jumped. When I entered the water, I could see many dolphins swimming below me. They came so close that I felt like I could almost touch them (though you're not supposed to). However, keeping up with the guide was quite a challenge (laughs). It requires quite a bit of stamina. After the dolphins, we enjoyed touch-up paddling, kayaking, and snorkeling around the rocks. The snacks and cheeseburgers we had when we got hungry were delicious! On the way back, we all danced the hula happily before disembarking! The half-day was so much fun that I didn't feel any seasickness at all. I fell asleep on the bus ride back, and we were dropped off in front of the hotel in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! By the way, I purchased some photos. They are a bit pricey, but they make for wonderful memories, so I think it's a good idea to actively engage with the photographer!
初めてのシュノーケリングで緊張しましたが、ばっちりイルカに会うことができました!
イルカの群れには何度も会うことが出来、赤ちゃんイルカがジャンプした時は本当に感動しました♡
海に入ったら自分の下をたくさんイルカが泳ぐ姿が見えます。
本当に近いところまで行けて、あと少しで触れるんじゃないかと思うほど(触ってはいけませんが)
ですがガイドさんについて行くのはなかなか必死でした(笑)
結構体力が必要です。
イルカの後はタッチアップパドルやカヤック、岩場でシュノーケリングも楽しめます(*^o^*)
お腹が空いた頃に頂けるスナックやチーズバーガーも美味しかったです★
帰りは楽しくフラをみんなで踊って下船しました!
半日楽しすぎて全く船酔いする気配はありませんでした。
帰りのバスは爆睡、お昼過ぎにホテル前で降ろされて、まだ十分観光ができました♡

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.
太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。
Thank you for participating. We apologize for not being able to meet your expectations. Since these are wild animals, there are times when we can snorkel with dolphins and turtles in the same location, and other times when they are in different places. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We will share your feedback with all our staff. Thank you for your comments.

We participated as a family of five: two adults and three children, including an infant. My wife and the infant stayed on the boat to watch while the rest of us went into the sea. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. We participated on July 26.
It took about 20 minutes by car from Aulani to the port.
There were no changing rooms at the port, just a dirty public restroom. I was glad we wore our swimsuits beforehand.
There were about 30 participants, all Japanese. The staff included a Japanese host, while the others were locals. The boat felt quite old.
Once we left the port and headed out to sea, we started to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which really got us excited.
The boat continued to the point where the dolphins were. I learned that the way to see the dolphins was to first spot them from the boat, then maneuver the boat ahead of where the dolphins were swimming. When the captain shouted "GO! GO! GO!", everyone quickly jumped into the sea to see the dolphins swimming.
While I was okay with it, my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter could only swim about 10 meters, so jumping into the sea from the boat was quite scary for them. I had to more or less push them in, and honestly, it seemed very frightening for them.
Additionally, during our first encounter with the dolphins, my daughter needed to use the restroom, which caused us to miss the timing to jump in. It’s better to take care of that beforehand.
Fortunately, we were able to jump in during the second dolphin encounter and saw dolphins swimming underwater, but it seemed that some other participants missed out.
After that, we had cheeseburgers on the boat for a break and headed to the sea turtle encounter point. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles, but we had a lot of fun kayaking together with the kids.
Finally, we all danced a Hawaiian dance on the boat before returning to the port.
It was quite hard both mentally and physically, but we were able to see dolphins, and the kids said they had a great time. I think it was a wonderful experience. At the end, the kids received small dolphin plush toys as gifts, and they were really happy about that.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
妻と乳児は海には入らず船の上で見学。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/26。
アウラニから港までは車で20分程度でした。
港には更衣室等はなく、汚い公衆トイレがあるだけ。事前に水着を着用しておいてよかったです。
参加者は30名くらいで全員日本人でした。スタッフは司会進行(?)の方が日本人で、他は現地の方。船はわりと古い感じ。
港を出て沖に出ると、野生のイルカやウミガメがちらほら見えてきて、気分が盛り上がってきます。
そのまま船は進んでイルカがいるポイントへ。
その時知りましたが、イルカを見る方法というのは、
まず船の上からイルカを目視で見つけて、
イルカが泳ぐ先へ船で先回りし、
船長が「GO!GO!GO!」と叫んだら
みんなで大急ぎで海に飛び込み、
イルカが泳ぐ姿を見る、
というものでした。
自分はいいとして、9歳の息子と7歳の娘はまだ10mくらいしか泳げないので、船の上から海に飛び込む、というのはかなり怖かったと思います。半分放り込むような形で飛び込ませたのですが、正直かなり怖かったみたいです。
あと娘が1回目のイルカ遭遇時、大きい方を催してトイレに行き、そのせいで飛び込むタイミングを逸してしまいました。トイレは事前に済ませておいたほうがいいです。
幸い我々は2回目のイルカ遭遇時に飛び込んで、海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができましたが、他の参加者さんは見られなかった人もいたようです。
その後船上でチーズバーガーを食べて休憩し、ウミガメ遭遇ポイントへ。
残念ながらウミガメはいませんでしたが、子供たちと一緒にダブルカヤックでたのしくあそばせてもらいました。
最後に船上でみんなでハワイアンダンスを踊って港に戻りました。
精神的にも肉体的にもけっこうハードでしたが、イルカに会うことができて、子供たちはすごく楽しかったと言ってました。いい経験になったと思います。
最後に子供たちへのプレゼントで小さいイルカのぬいぐるみをもらってましたが、それもすごく喜んでました。
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!

I got stuck in an unbelievable traffic jam on the way, spending several hours on the bus. However! The hospitality of our guide, who was determined to entertain us, was amazing!! They talked non-stop, and all their stories were incredibly interesting!! Normally, traffic jams are just exhausting, but I didn't get bored at all; instead, it turned into a great time where I could hear various stories.
That said, when I looked out at the sea from the long bus ride, I happened to see a whale spouting! What a lucky surprise!
On the boat, there was a wild singer who usually performs at luxury hotels, and a cute lady, around elementary school age, who was there just for this spring break, showing us adorable hula dances (her mother is a hula dancer, by the way!). It was a lot of fun! For lunch, the lady even drew a face with ketchup on my hamburger^^
Also, from what I could see, there was a handsome guy on board who seemed to be the best-looking in Hawaii, and a mermaid female photographer was accompanying us. The staff was so diverse, and I really enjoyed it!!
The highlight was the dolphin-calling "Mamma"! There's a superstition that if she boards, you'll get to see dolphins, and sure enough, within just 10 minutes of departure, we hit a pod of dolphins!! We quickly changed and jumped into the sea! The friendly group of dolphins played with the dead branches on the ocean floor, showing us their antics over and over again.
The dolphins we encountered were a type called spinner dolphins, which aren't found in Japan, and they even did spin jumps right in front of us! I was so moved by their acrobatics, it was like a dolphin show! I will never forget that sight, and I remember it every time I visit an aquarium!
When I looked up, I saw many dorsal fins jumping, and when I looked down into the water, I could hear the playful sounds of the dolphins. It was the best experience!
Even after we got out of the water, a pod of dozens of dolphins swam around the boat continuously.
It was such a great tour that I recommended it to my friends after returning home^^
Thank you so much, guide Su-san! I will definitely rely on you again when I go back to Hawaii✨
行きが信じられないほどの渋滞にはまり、数時間バスに籠りきりになってしまいました。
しかし!とにかくガイドの方の「楽しませよう!」というホスピタリティがすごかった!!
ずーっと休むことなく喋ってくださり、またそのお話がどれもとっても面白かったです!!
普通はしんどいだけの渋滞ですが、
飽きることはもちろんなく、むしろ色々なお話が聞けてよかったと思う時間になりました。
とはいえ長旅だったバスの中から海を見やると、
たまたまですが潮を吹くクジラが見えました!ラッキー!
船上では、普段ラグジュアリーホテルで演奏しているというワイルドな歌い手さんと、
春休みのためこの時期だけいるという小学生くらいのCuteなLadyが
とっても可愛いフラダンスを見せてくれ(お母様がフラダンサーなのだそう!)
大いに盛り上がりました!
ランチのハンバーガーはLadyがケチャップで顔を描いてくれましたよ^^
また、私が見る限りハワイ随一のイケメンさんが乗船していたり、
マーメイドの女性カメラマンが同行していたり、
とにかくスタッフさんがバラエティに富んでいて、とっても楽しめました!!
極め付けはイルカを呼ぶマンマ!
この方が乗ってくれるとイルカに会えるというジンクスがあるそうなのですが、
出港なんと10分足らずでイルカの群れにヒット!!
急いで着替えて海にドボン!
とっても人懐こい群れで、海底の枯れ枝を手や口に引っ掛けて遊んでいる様を
何度も何度も私たちに見せてくれました。
会えたのは日本にはいないスピナードルフィンという種類のイルカなのだそうですが、
目の前でスピンジャンプまでしてくれました!
イルカショー並みの回転に感動〜!
あの光景は忘れませんし、水族館に行くたび思い出します!
顔を上げればたくさんの背びれにジャンプ、
水中に顔を下げれば遊び、鳴いているイルカの声。
最高でした!
海から上がった後もずっと数十頭の群れが、船の周りをぐるぐる泳いでくれていましたよ。
とっても良いツアーだったので、
帰国してから友人にもオススメしました^^
ガイドのすーさん、本当に本当にありがとうございました!!!
またハワイに行く際はお世話になります✨

I participated at the beginning of July! The sea was clear that day, and I was overwhelmed with joy as I encountered dolphins multiple times! The Hawaiian staff were friendly, and I had a great time.
However, one thing I was dissatisfied with was the photos. There was a dedicated photographer on the boat who took most of the pictures (since we had to store valuables below deck to avoid getting them wet). Because of that, we didn't take any photos ourselves, thinking we could purchase them later. However, just before the tour ended... all the photos were bundled together for a total of $65! What?! That's way too expensive!!! It's almost half the cost of the tour. Most of the photos were probably unnecessary, and I couldn't justify spending that much (although quite a few people did buy them). It felt like a rip-off, and that was really disappointing since I ended up with almost no photos. If it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.
7月頭に参加しました!
海がその日は澄んでいて、しかもイルカにも何度も巡り会えて感無量でした!ハワイアンのスタッフの方も気さくで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、一つ不満だったのが写真です。船の上では専属のカメラマンがいて、ほとんどの写真をカメラマンが収めてくれます(船の上では濡れるといけないのでデッキの下に貴重品等はしまいます)。そのため、自分たちで全然写真を撮っていなかったし、
あとで購入できるから…とばかり思っていました。しかし、ツアー終了間際…写真は全てセットになっていて全部で65ドル、
、!??高すぎ!!!ツアー代金の半額近いですよね。きっと不要な写真がほとんどなのに、そんな金額掛けられませんでした(結構買ってる方いらっしゃいましたが)。ぼったくり感満載で、それだけが残念でした、手元に残った写真ほぼなしですからね。それさえなければ星5個でした。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We will share your feedback with all staff to improve future tours. Thank you for your comments.

I used this for my honeymoon and overseas wedding—this is seriously recommended! It's featured in various information magazines, so I thought, "Well, the big companies must be paying for ads, so it probably isn't that great," but I was wrong! The staff is fun, and seeing sea turtles in the ocean is something you only get to do once in a lifetime, so definitely sign up!!! Plus, there are wild rays too. By the way, since there are a lot of women, it might be a good idea to go just with the guys as well ♡
Note: This is not a scam, haha.
新婚旅行・海外ウエディングの際に利用しましたーーー
これはマジでおすすめ!色んな情報誌にのってるから、「どうせ王手が広告料出してるから中身たいしたことないんやろーーーな」と思ってたけどちゃいました!
スタッフもおもろいし、ウミガメを海でみれるなんて人生で1度くらいしかないから是非お申込みを!!!しかも野生のエイもおんねんで。
ちなみに女性の割合多いから男性だけでいくのもアリかもね♡
:注意:サクラではありません笑

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles, but since dolphins were my main goal and I got to see a stingray instead, I'm really glad I participated!
イルカと泳ぐという昔からの夢が叶いました!
野生の生き物なので、100%会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に3回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。
残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、イルカが一番の目的だったのと、代わりにエイに会えたので、本当に参加してよかったです!

Despite the children's criticism about the silly name, I trusted the positive reviews and decided to participate! It was a great decision! The kids who were complaining ended up getting completely absorbed in learning to snorkel for the first time, and with the help of the fun staff, they lost track of time chasing dolphins. The one reaching for the turtle is my son! It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!
名前がふざけてるーとの、子供達の批判に負けず、こちらの口コミで好評だったのを信じ、参加させて頂きました!
大正解でした!
文句を言っていた子供達も、夢中で初シュノーケルを習得し、楽しいスタッフさん達に上手く乗せられ〜時間を忘れて、イルカを追っかけてました。
亀の後ろに手が届きそうなのが息子です!
少し高いですが、絶対、大学の方が良いです!

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to interact with wild dolphins! So I decided to join this tour.
There’s a reason why the morning gathering is so early.
I was truly moved when a pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me!
The sea turtles were adorable too!
The local staff kept us entertained until we got off the boat, and I was very satisfied!
So, I booked other tours as well.
ハワイに行ったら絶対にイルカ野生のイルカと触れ合いたい!

I was a bit concerned about participating with children, but I was grateful for the various accommodations made for us. The dolphins swam from all directions, and it was truly mystical and moving! Since it was a university program, it felt like a class, and the fact that we could graduate at the end was quite interesting!
子供との参加だったので、どうなるかと思いましたが、色々と対応してくださり助かりました。
イルカが本当にあっちから、こっちからとたくさん泳いできてくれて、神秘的で感動しました!
大学というだけあって授業になってて最後は卒業できるというのがなかなか面白かったです♫
