I had so much fun participating. I was a bit worried about not being able to meet the dolphins, but that didn't matter at all. They came to meet us. The dolphins were very graceful.
I also want to live my life with grace and composure every day.
Additionally, the motto "Always be positive" really resonated with me. I will take it as a life lesson. "Always be positive" and "Even in tough times, never lose your smile."
参加してほんとーーーーーーに楽しかったです。
イルカに会えなかったらどうしようって若干不安でしたが、そんなの関係なし。
向こうから会いに来てくれました。
イルカ先生とても優雅でした。
私も優雅に過ごせるよう余裕を持って毎日を過ごしていきたいと思いました。
あと、”いつもまえむき”のモットーは私にとても響きました。
人生の教訓にします。
”いつもまえむき””苦しいときほど笑顔を絶やさず”

I was able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat!
There were baby dolphins doing spinning jumps everywhere. Even when I watched the video later, I was very moved.
Next was snorkeling.
It was my first time snorkeling. On top of that, I can only swim dog paddle, but thanks to the buoyancy, even though my position was unstable, I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and rays in the ocean.
I think those with snorkeling experience or who can swim will enjoy it even more!
ボートからたくさんのイルカたちが見れました‼
あちこちで子イルカ達が回転ジャンプをしていていました。
動画で撮ったものを後から見ても、とても感激します。
次はシュノーケル。
私はシュノーケルは始めて。おまけに泳ぎは犬かきのみですが、浮力で体勢が不安定ながら海の中でもイルカとウミガメ、エイを見る事ができました。
シュノーケル経験者や泳げる方は、もっともっと楽しめると思います

Picked up near the hotel just after 6 AM. It took about an hour to reach the harbor, and during the bus ride, our cute and fun guide, who looked like a half-model, explained various things to us. According to the guide, the weather is starting to get colder, so everyone borrowed wetsuits. This choice turned out to be a good one… it also helps prevent sunburn.
When we arrived at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and set off! Unexpectedly, we encountered a pod of dolphins right away and started snorkeling. It was overwhelming to see wild dolphins up close for the first time… we were really lucky to meet so many dolphins so quickly! The staff were also moved by the experience.
Since we didn’t spend much time searching for dolphins, we had a longer snorkeling session at another location afterward. Here, we were able to see many sea turtles and vibrant tropical fish, which was also amazing! Actually, I was so impressed by the snorkeling on the previous moon tour that this experience felt even more special… (>_<) Even with a decent number of participants, the snorkeling points at Dolphin School are spacious, so it doesn’t feel crowded, and the water clarity and number of fish were significantly better.
There seems to be a full-day Dolphin University tour as well, but I think it was a good choice to go with this one since it’s less physically demanding. It also seemed like there were fewer people here. There were a couple of girls who were down due to seasickness or fatigue, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
A friend who enjoys diving was also impressed. It’s a highly satisfying tour! I recommend it!!
朝6時過ぎに宿泊ホテル近くでピックアップ。
片道1時間くらいかけてハーバーまで向かいましたが、行きのバスの中では
ハーフモデルのような可愛くて楽しいガイドさんがいろいろ解説をしてくれました。
ガイドさんによると、そろそろ寒くなってくる季節とのことで全員がウェットスーツを借りました。
この選択は正解だったなあ…日焼け防止にもなるし。
ハーバーに着くと、ウェットスーツを着て出発!
予想外にもすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇し、シュノーケリング開始。生まれて初めて間近で見る野生のイルカたちに感無量…とってもラッキーだったみたいで、こんなにたくさんのイルカたちにすぐに会えるなんて!とスタッフさんたちも皆感動。
イルカ探しに時間がかからなかったので、その後の別の場所でのシュノーケリング時間が長くなりました。
ここでも、沢山のウミガメと鮮やかな熱帯魚を見ることができてまたも感動!
実は、このツアーの前に参加していた月のツアーでのシュノーケリングがあんまりよくなったので感動もひとしおで…(>_<)
イルカ中学は、参加人数がある程度いてもシュノーケリングポイントが広いのでごちゃごちゃしないし、海の透明度も魚の数も格段に上でした。
1日がかりのイルカ大学もあるようですが、結構体力を消耗するのでこちらにしてよかったと思っています。人数もこちらの方が少なそうだし。
船酔いか疲れたのかダウンしていた女の子が2,3人いたので、心配な人は酔い止め薬必須かも。
ダイビングが趣味の友人も感動していました。かなり満足度の高いツアーです(^^)おすすめ!!

I thought we could get off the bus at the malasada shop, but it was just a stop for the staff to pick up malasadas...
The lunch on the boat looked like they were grilling on board in the photos, but I couldn't tell if they were actually grilling or if it was pre-cooked; it just felt like they handed it to us sandwiched in bread.
I was really thrilled to see the dolphins, but I had high expectations for other aspects as well...
マラサダのお店でバス降りれるのかと思いきや、そこはただスタッフがマラサダを取りに停車するだけ・・・。
船上ランチ、写真では船上で焼いてくれてるイメージだったのに、焼いてたのか焼いてあったのかわからないが、パンにはさんで渡されただけって感じでした。
イルカを見れたのは、とっても感激しましたが、その他のところにも期待していただけに・・・。

In the past few years, I've been to Hawaii, but this was my first time participating in Dolphin University. In the first hour, I encountered a group of about 20 dolphin instructors, which was incomparable to any dolphin watching experiences I've had before. In the second hour, while I was mesmerized by a sea turtle instructor swimming leisurely on the ocean floor, another sea turtle instructor passed right in front of me!
My wife, who noticed the approaching turtle first, later told me that she panicked and said, "I heard there's a $3,000 fine for touching a sea turtle, but how much is the fine if we bump into one?" We had a good laugh about it afterward. I would love to enroll again next time, and after that, I want to go to Manta University as well. However, I do feel a bit anxious about whether I can have an experience as moving as this one again; it was such a luxurious experience.
ここ数年、ハワイに行っていますが、初めてイルカ大学に参加。1時間目、今まで参加したイルカウォッチングとは比較にならない団体、20頭位?のイルカ先生に遭遇。2時間目は、海底をゆったり泳ぐウミガメ先生に見とれていたら、、、超目の前を別のウミガメ先生が通過!
接近してくる先生に先に気づいた家内は「ウミガメに触ったら、罰金3000ドルって聞いてたけど、ぶつかったら、罰金は幾ら?」と大慌てになったと、後で聞いて大笑いしました。また次回も入学したいですし、その後はマンタ大学にも行きたいですね。でも、今回以上の感動が得られるのか、、、ちょっと不安も感じるくらい贅沢な体験でした。

On that day, the dolphins were swimming very fast, and I couldn't see them much.
Everyone was concerned and asked if I saw them, but even though I hadn't, I ended up giving a typical Japanese response of "I saw them." So, my time with the dolphins came to an end. I should have honestly said that I didn't see them much.
I was glad to see two turtles up close, though.
イルカがこの日はとても早く泳いでおり、あまり見れませんでした。
みなさん見れましたか?と気を使ってくれるのですが、見れてないのに「見れました」と日本人らしい回答をしてしまい、イルカとの時間は終了。

You could rent a wetsuit for $10, and almost everyone did. Those who didn't looked really cold, so I thought it would be better to include that cost in the overall fee. It's a hassle to carry cash. When we went, we encountered a rare pod of dolphins, which was a once-in-a-year experience! The dolphins approached us!! We could even hear their sounds, and it was very moving!! After that, we seemed to have some extra time, so we headed out to look for other types of dolphins... Luckily, we encountered another pod, and the dolphins swam around the boat and jumped, which was amazing!! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as we got to see sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour.
ウエットスーツが10ドルで借りられてほとんどの人が借りていました
借りてない人はすごく寒そうだったので
料金の中に組み込んでしまえばいいのにと思いました。
お金を持っていくのが面倒です。
私たちが行ったときは1年にあるかないかのイルカの大群に出会え

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!
The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!
The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!
ひとりでの参加。しかも、私だけ送迎なしで、ボートハーバーに直接車で行くと言うかなり、不安な参加でした。ツアー前日、ハーバーの詳細を確認の為、電話で確認していたら、初めて海外で運転している事や、第二便にキャンセルが出た事もあるので、第二便にしてゆっくり来てもいいですよと、前日にも関わらず、第一便から第二便に変更して下さいました!
ツアー自体も、他のツアーは途中まで日本人がいてもツアー自体は現地の人に丸投げだったりするのが、最後までイルカ大学の日本人スタッフが一緒にいてくれるので、本当に安心!
現地のスタッフ達も、超ノリノリ!
と〜っても楽しんじゃいました!
残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、イルカには会えました!

I attended with my fiancé, who is in his 30s, as we are about to get married soon.
The voucher instructed us to call Dolphin University as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made the call. After being asked for our names, date, and where we made the reservation, we had to wait quite a while, which made me anxious about whether our reservation was actually confirmed.
However, we were indeed booked and were able to participate without any issues. Most of the participants seemed to be in their 20s. There was a lively announcement on the bus as well.
We were able to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. In particular, we got to see the turtles and tropical fish quite closely. I brought a waterproof camera, but when it came time to see the dolphins, I felt a bit uneasy and went into the water without it. In hindsight, I wish I had taken some photos.
We were able to meet the dolphins and turtles without much swimming, but I got tired from the marine sports and ended up just watching. Even just watching was enjoyable.
The photos taken by a professional photographer were sold on DVD and CD-ROM for about $60, which included everyone from the tour. I considered purchasing just the well-taken photos of us, but since the price was somewhat high and there were strangers in the pictures, I decided against it. It would have been nice if they offered individual photo sales.
It was a day with very little wind, and we were able to meet the dolphins close to the shore, but there were some people who got seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to prepare accordingly. Also, even on sunny days with strong sunlight, when you get back on the boat after being in the water, the wind can feel cold, so I think women should either rent a wetsuit ($10) or bring something to cover up.
もうすぐ結婚式を迎える彼(ともに30代)と二人で参加しました。
ハワイについてすぐ、イルカ大学に電話するようにとバウチャーに書いてあったので電話をしたのですが、名前・日付・どこで予約をしたのか等を聞かれたあとに結構待たされ、本当に予約できているのか不安になる電話対応でした…。
実際には予約できていて、きちんと参加できました。
参加者は20代が中心のようでした。
バスの中でも軽快な案内がありました。
イルカもカメも熱帯魚も見ることができました。
特にカメと熱帯魚は、かなり近くで見ることができました。
防水カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るときには多少の不安もあって持たずに海へ入りました。しかし、やっぱり撮影しておけば良かったかな。
イルカにもカメにも、あまり泳がずに会うことができましたが、マリンスポーツは疲れてしまい、見ているだけになってしまいました。
見ているだけでも楽しかったです。
プロのカメラマンが撮影した写真は、DVDとCD-ROMでの販売で、ツアーで一緒になった人全員分込みで60ドルだったかな…。
よく撮れた自分たちの写真だけ、とかなら購入を検討したのですが、お値段もそこそこするし、見ず知らずの人が写っていても…ということで購入しませんでした。
個別の写真販売があったら良いのになぁ。
風もほとんどなく、岸から近い場所ですぐにイルカと会えた日だったのですが船酔いしている人もいたので、酔い止めが必要な人は用意した方がよいかもしれません。
また、晴れて日差しが強い日でも、海から上がって船が動くと風が冷たく感じるので、女性はウェットスーツ(10ドル)を借りるか、羽織るものを持って行った方がよいと思います。

Mandy & Ali were great guides during the entire excursion. We arrived at our destination to pick our food options and grab our snorkeling gear. No restroom on the boat so please go before getting on the boat! You can bring your own drink & snack on the boat since lunch won't be til afterwards. We swam w/ spinner dolphins at our 1st spot. It was so amazing to see the baby dolphins! We explored the reef at our 2nd spot, which had so many different kinds of fishes. Ali swam to us w/ a starfish & other things for pictures & even explained to us what we were holding. After this, they took us out to see the spotted dolphins (Hawaiian name "kiko"). There were sooo many of them riding our waves, swimming under the boat, & flipping in the air. It was so amazing to watch. They explained they were hunting & they hardly see these dolphins. Afterwards, you go back to eat lunch then head back to your hotel. This was the highlight of my trip & I plan to do this again when I come back!

For snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, so we were able to see a lot of them.

At first, I was worried about the tour content being too much, but I participated anyway. The beautiful ocean views of West Oahu were great, but seeing wild dolphins in the water and then witnessing the swimming sea turtles was truly moving. It wasn't just a simple watching tour; it was really wonderful. I thought it was a fantastic tour with a lot of substance.

I imagined that I would be able to swim close enough to touch the dolphins, but since they are truly wild dolphins, that wasn't the case. However, the joy I felt when I saw the dolphins in sight was immense.
The staff members were very cheerful, and I had a wonderful time. I'm glad I participated.
The rating of Good is likely because there was a baby dolphin in the pod, which meant they didn't come very close. (There's nothing that can be done about that.)
Overall, it was Great!!

I had diving experience, so I was accustomed to snorkeling and enjoyed it. However, my companion was new to snorkeling and being in deep water, which caused a bit of panic, and they couldn't see the dolphins underwater as a result. That said, I was satisfied with the tour because we got to see the dolphins up close from the back of the boat when they swam alongside us.
ダイビング経験があったので、シュノーケルにも慣れていたので楽しめましたが、連れはシュノーケル&足が付かない海は初めてだったので、ややパニックになり、せっかくのイルカを海の中から見ることはできず。
ただ、船と並走してイルカが泳いでいた時に、船尾から間近でイルカを見れたことで、ツアーとしては満足していました

My 10 and 11 year old daughters and I went on this excursion. It was a dream come true. Our captain took us up to a cove area where there were a good 30-50 spinner dolphins were hanging out! We had a blast. We then moved over to the sea turtles and we just loved that as well.

This was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday, loved it. The girls that took us out were great, they took us to our first location where we got the chance to swim with about 5-6 dolphins, then we moved on to the sea turtles, just great. On our return trip the girls took us back to our first location where there was now a pod of about 70 dolphins that we got to swim with. Just amazing. Thanks girls.

I participated hoping to see wild dolphins, and on the day, I was able to encounter several dolphins, which was truly a wonderful experience! It's rare to see so many. I heard that on some days, they move around to different locations in search of dolphins. It was my first time snorkeling. The guide wasn't very thorough, so I was relieved that my friend who accompanied me taught me how to put on the gear and what to be careful of when jumping in.
野生のイルカに少しでも会えたら・・・と思い参加しましたが、当日は何頭ものイルカと出会うことができ本当に素晴らしい体験ができました!こんなに沢山出るのは珍しいとのこと。日によってはイルカを求めてあちこち場所を移動するそうです。シュノーケリング自体初めてでした。あまり丁寧にはガイドはしてくれませんので、同行した友人に装着の仕方とか、飛び込んだ際の注意点など教えてもらえて安心しました。

I participated in October 2011. I apologize for the old story. I was anxious about bringing my five-year-old twins, but thanks to Yuka (I wonder if she’s still there), everything was completely fine. The kids got so comfortable that they flew over to me while I was already in the sea. Having twins was no obstacle at all, and I’m very grateful.
2011年10月に参加しました。古い話でスミマセンが。
双子の五歳児連れで不安がありましたが、ユカさん(今もいるかな)
のおかげでまったく大丈夫。子供たちもなついて安心するあまり、
先に海に入ってた私のところに空中を飛んできました。
双子連れが全く障害にならず、感謝感謝。

I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere. I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.
会社の先輩と参加しました。
スタッフの方々がとても気さくで船上でも音楽がかかっていたりと、
楽しい雰囲気でした。
船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが!
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では2回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。
大人数の友達と参加するととても楽しいと思いました。
