I was hoping there would be a bit more road, but it was so beautiful that I was moved! I was surprised that the turtles came close enough to touch. The staff were all cheerful, which made it a fun and wonderful experience✨ However, there were too few paddleboards, so I didn't get a turn... I wanted to do it... lol
I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii!
もう少し道が出来るのかと期待していましたが
全然綺麗だったので感動でした!
まさかの亀も触れるくらいの距離まで来てくれて
スタッフさんも明るい方ばかりで楽しく最高でした✨
ただ、サップの数が少なく回ってこなかった。。

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!
Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.
期待して行ったのですが、残念なことに雨が降った後のため水かさも増していたのと、透明度が少し悪かったです。ただ、それでもとてもキレイな海だったし、ガイドさんも面白くスタッフさんたちも感じが良かったので、楽しめました!
天気が良ければ本当に最高だったのに!
あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。

It depends on the day, but the boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! There were only two groups of Japanese participants, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones. We were able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat, and they were adorable as they jumped and swam parallel to the boat. Surprisingly, we even saw whales despite the season! The water was clear, and we swam with many fish, losing track of time. The meals were served buffet-style, but the food didn't meet my expectations. On the way back, there isn't much time to change, so I think it's best to wear clothes that are easy to change into. Overall, I am satisfied!
日によるでしょうが船が結構揺れたため酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です!
参加者で日本人は二組だけでしたが、英語の後に日本語でも説明してくれたので助かりました。
イルカは船の上からですがたくさん見られて満足!!ジャンプしたり船と平行して泳いだり可愛かったです。なんとこの日はこの時期にも関わらずクジラも見えました。
海も透き通っていてたくさんの魚と時間を忘れるほど泳ぎました。
食事はブッフェ形式でしたが食事に関しては期待するほどの物は出てきませんでした。
帰りは着替える間もないので、ササッと着替えられる服で行くのが良いと思います。
総合的に満足です!

Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.
パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった!トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。

We participated for the first time as a couple with our 10-year-old child. I thought we might be sleepy since we woke up early, but we had a great time listening to the lively stories from the staff on the bus. I found the story about how bringing bananas on the boat is bad luck to be quite interesting.
Although it was August, I heard that the water can be quite cold, so we rented wetsuits for the family. It was hot when we changed on the boat, but I was glad it wasn't hot at all in the water.
I’m not very confident in my swimming skills, so I used a float. As soon as we entered the sea, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was moved to see them swimming right under our feet multiple times. We also saw a turtle, and the schools of fish were truly beautiful. Our whole family was very satisfied.
The staff were cheerful, and we were able to have a fun time. I purchased the photo data taken by the photographer for $50, and the photos were definitely professional quality. The only cash we spent on-site was for the wetsuit rental and the photos. There were no shops on-site, but we were provided with spam rice balls and drinks as snacks, which was sufficient.
I would love to participate again when we go to Hawaii.
10歳の子と夫婦で初めて参加しました。朝早くから眠いかなと思いましたが、行きのバスから元気なお姉さんのお話を聞きながら楽しく過ごしました。バナナは縁起が悪いので船に持ち込むのはダメ、というお話が面白かったです。
8月でしたが水中は結構冷えると聞いて、ウエットスーツを家族でレンタルしました。船の上で着替えたときは暑かったけど、水中では全然暑くなかったので良かったと思います。
私は泳ぎに自信がないので浮き棒を使わせてもらいました。
海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇できて、足の下を群れが何度も通って行くのを見て感動しました。カメにも会えたし、魚の群れも本当にキレイでした。家族全員、大満足です。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真のデータを50ドルで購入しましたが、さすがプロという感じの写真でした。現地で使った現金はウェットスーツ代と写真代だけでした。現地に売店などはありませんが、軽食でスパムおにぎりと飲物を頂けたので十分でした。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
Thank you for participating, Yuyuu!
Bananas are considered bad luck, as there's a superstition among sailors that you won't encounter dolphins if you bring them on board, so they are prohibited on the boat.
The fact that you encountered the lucky turtle means that a lot of happiness is sure to come your way!
We sincerely look forward to your next participation.

I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.

I participated with my two children, a fourth grader and a second grader. It was our first time snorkeling and swimming in a sea where we couldn't touch the bottom, but each staff member was incredibly attentive, providing support and assistance in a very unobtrusive manner.
We were very lucky that day and were amazed to find ourselves swimming right above a large pod of dolphins. We also encountered sea turtles and rays, and my children had a great time touching real sea urchins.
I completely forgot about the reconfirmation by 8 PM the day before, and when I realized it was already past 9 PM, I left a voicemail at the local office. I was really anxious about not being picked up that morning, but when I arrived at the meeting point at 5:30 AM, they successfully picked us up. It was reassuring to know that VELTRA confirmed our local reservation from Japan, which eased my worries.
Next time, I definitely want to participate in the Dolphin University as well. Thank you very much!
小4と小2の子連れ&母の3人で参加しました。
シュノーケル未経験&足のつかない海でのスイミングも初めてでしたが、

We were able to encounter a large group of dolphins right after setting sail. It was such a lucky experience! The dolphins came much closer than I had expected, and I was very satisfied. However, there were a lot of people in one group, and many were not familiar with snorkeling, which made movement a bit difficult. It was also challenging with many people splashing around and kicking up water.
That said, I was able to hear the dolphins' ultrasonic sounds and swim with sea turtles, making it a very valuable experience. The guide and the photographer were all wonderful, and I enjoyed the entire trip without getting bored! The hospitality of the staff was also outstanding!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and at my wife's request, we participated in a sandbar tour. Due to the weather, there was no sandy beach, and we were constantly submerged up to our waists in water, but the clear sea and the impressive view of Kualoa made us feel like we were part of nature. The staff were Japanese, and all the announcements were in Japanese. Because of that, all about 20 guests were also Japanese. In that sense, the feeling of being in Hawaii might be slightly diminished.
The tour boat was surrounded by sea turtles and fish that resembled porcupinefish, allowing us to take plenty of photos up close! We also enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, which was a lot of fun.

On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my thighs even in shallow areas. However, the staff's hospitality and the luxurious meals showed various considerations for Japanese guests. After boarding, we were served drinks and donuts, and there was an all-you-can-eat lunch during the tour, which was satisfying.
It seems there are many similar tours to the same location, but I'm glad I chose this one even though it was a bit more expensive.
The bus driver for the round trip didn't seem to speak Japanese. On the way there, he explained the overall flow and the consent form in English, but I couldn't catch it well. There was consideration to ensure the air conditioning in the vehicle wasn't too cold, which made it feel a bit hot instead.
It's a pity that I couldn't see any turtles. There's nothing that can be done about that. I would like to participate again.

The price and content are about the same. However, the round trip bus drive to the destination was surprisingly enjoyable. Many people were sleeping on the bus ride back... It had a different Hawaiian feel compared to downtown Honolulu, and I thought it was nice to be swayed on the bus.
However, since a middle-aged couple participated, I wished they would refrain from calling each other "papa" and "mama." It brought me back to reality all at once.

I participated in this tour on my honeymoon. Although I couldn't see any dolphins during the first two tries, I was able to see them swimming slowly in a pod up close during the next two attempts. I also saw rays and sea turtles, and it was an amazing experience to witness the sea turtles surfacing for air.
Listening to Alisa made me want to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle even after returning from Hawaii.
The wind was strong and it was cold on the boat, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I have participated in two other dolphin tours in the past, where I was able to buy disposable underwater cameras at the wetsuit rental location, but this time we didn't stop at such a store. If you want to use a disposable underwater camera, I think it would be good to purchase one in advance at an ABC Store or similar. However, on this tour, the photographer Michael took a lot of great photos of all the participants, as well as beautiful shots of the dolphins and sea turtles, so it was more than enough. Since you can focus on snorkeling rather than taking pictures, I think a camera is unnecessary if you join this tour.
Thank you, Takao, Alisa, and Michael, for a wonderful experience!

過去に2回他のイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、その際はウエットスーツをレンタルする場所で使い捨ての水中カメラを購入することができましたが、今回はそのような店舗に寄ることはなかったので、使い捨ての水中カメラを使用されたい場合は、事前にABCストアなどで購入して参加すると良いかと思います。ただこのツアーでは、カメラマンのマイケルが、参加者全員の写真をまんべんなくたくさん撮ってくれており、またイルカやウミガメの写真もとてもキレイに撮影されており、十分でした。写真を撮ることよりシュノーケルに集中できるので、このツアーに参加される場合はカメラは不要かなと思います。
タカオさん、アリサさん、マイケルさん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました!!
Michael loves taking photos of everyone and is a tour-loving photographer.
I'm very happy to have received compliments from YHO!
Thank you for participating!
Mahalo.
マイケルは皆さんのお写真を撮るのが大好き、ツアー大好きのカメラマン。
YHOさんに褒めていただいてとってもHappyです!
ご参加ありがとうございました!

We took our 10-month-old baby along for the adventure. They provided life jackets for babies, which made us feel safe while boarding. I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...
The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.
0歳10ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が120cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。

The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.
サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。

The staff really got everyone excited, and it became a wonderful memory from start to finish. We saw dolphins from a distance, but my 6-year-old son was thrilled when a dolphin came close to the surface and he could see it up close. A sea turtle also came near, and my son got to take a picture right next to it! At the end, they even gave us a gift! It turned out to be the best trip ever!
スタッフの方々が盛り上げてくださり最初から最後までとても楽しく素晴らしい思い出になりました。
イルカは離れたところで見えました。6歳息子はイルカが水面まで来て近くで見えたようで大喜びでした。ウミガメも近くに来てくれて息子は真横で写真を撮ってもらいました!最後、プレゼントまで下さって!最高な旅行になりました‼︎
Aloha Tiara,
The sea turtle is a symbol of good luck, and I’m glad to hear that your son had a great time participating. Thank you for adding this to the important memories of your trip!

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

Pick up at the hotel before sunrise. The brightness inside the private bus was enough to shake off any sleepiness. It was a windy day, but we encountered dolphins twice. We also saw turtles and rays. Although I came to see the dolphins, the impression of the staff left a stronger mark on me. It was a fun tour.
日が昇る前にホテルでピックアップ。専用バスの中は眠気もぶっ飛ぶ明るさバシバシ。その日は風も強かったですが、イルカ達に2度も出会えました。また、亀やエイなども。イルカに会いに来たのにスタッフの印象の方が強く残っています。楽しいツアーでした。
Dear Dandy Kaz,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly delighted to hear that the impression of our staff left a strong impact on you, even more than that of the dolphins. Thank you for your kind words.
While the dolphins are certainly a highlight, we understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many, and our guides are committed to making it a memorable tour for everyone. We will not take your feedback for granted and will continue to strive to create tours that resonate with guests like you. We hope you will come back to Hawaii and visit the dolphins and our guides again.
Thank you once again.
Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
イルカ先生よりもスタッフの印象が強く残っているという言葉、私共大変嬉しいお言葉です。ありがとうございます。
イルカはもちろんですが、みなさまにとっては人生で1度あるかないかの大切な体験をする機会ですので、ガイドもみなさまの心に残るツアーにしようとオフィス共々がんばらせていただいております。 ダンディカズ様のお言葉に甘えず、これからも ダンディカズ様と同じように感じていただけるツアー作りに励んでいきますので、またハワイに来られる際は、イルカ、そして我々ガイドにも会いに来てください。

On the day of the event, the weather was somewhat unstable, with a mix of clouds and sunshine, and it felt a bit chilly. Since it was the afternoon, the sandbar was deeper than expected, and the water level was high enough that women could barely keep their faces above water. We did see sea turtles, but snorkeling was interrupted due to a massive jellyfish bloom, causing nearly half of the participants to get stung and panic ensued, leading to a halt after about ten minutes. Since we are dealing with nature, such situations are somewhat unavoidable, but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to snorkeling. The staff's response was very good, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.
当日は天候がやや不安定で曇ったり、晴れたりと微妙な天候で、やや寒い思いをしました。
サンドバー自体も午後の時間帯であったので、思ったよりも深く、女性は顔が出るのが精一杯まで水位が高かったです。
海ガメは見れましたが、シュノーケリングはクラゲが大量発生し、参加者の半数近くが刺されてパニック状況になり、10分程度で中断となってしまいました。
自然が相手なので、ある程度こういうケースもあるのは致し方無い事ですが、シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
スタッフの方の対応はとても良かったので、また機会があったらチャレンジしたいです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy the tour content you were expecting due to the conditions of the sea.
We have confirmed the situation on the day with the local operating company. As you mentioned, the water level at the sandbar was up to the shoulders of our female guests. The water level at the sandbar varies greatly between high tide and low tide, so we appreciate your understanding that there may be times when the beach is not visible due to the tides. Regarding jellyfish, they can occur throughout Hawaii depending on the season. In such cases, we prioritize the safety of our guests and may suspend all sea activities, including snorkeling. On that day, there was a guest who was stung by a jellyfish, and we provided first aid and suspended snorkeling. We understand that you were disappointed not to fully enjoy the activities during your trip to Hawaii. We appreciate your feedback regarding the staff's response, and we are grateful for your kind words. Together with the operating company, we look forward to serving you again.
We take your comments seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、海の状況によりご期待されていたツアー内容をお楽しみいただくことができず大変残念に思います。
当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきました。おっしゃる通り、サンドバーの水位は女性のお客様の肩ほどまであったとのことでした。サンドバーの水位は満潮と干潮で大きく異なりますので、潮の満ち引きの関係上砂浜が見えない場合もございますこと、ご理解いただけますと幸いです。なお、クラゲについてですが、時期によってハワイ全域で発生することがございます。そういった場合はお客様の安全を第一に考えシュノーケリングに限らず海のアクティビティは中断となりますことご了承ください。この日もクラゲに刺されてしまったお客様がいらっしゃいましたので応急処置をさせていただき、シュノーケリングは中断させていただきました。せっかくのハワイ旅行にてアクティビティを存分にお楽しみいただけず、がっかりされたこととお察しいたします。そんな中、スタッフの対応にご満足いただけたとのことご意見を頂戴しありがとうございました。催行会社共々、またご利用いただけますこと心待ちにしております。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

When we arrived at the sandbar, it started to rain, and we couldn't see the sandbar in its original form. However, compared to the surrounding sea, the color was clearly different and very beautiful.
サンドバーに着くと雨が降り出し、本来のサンドバーの姿を見ることが出来ませんでした。ただ、周りの海と比べて、明らかに色が異なりすごく綺麗でした。

We went with my 7-year-old son and my husband!
I was truly moved to see so many dolphins!
Although my child can't swim, he had fun swimming with the life jacket and floaties they provided.
With the help of the staff, he was able to swim without me having to stay right by his side the whole time,
and I was also very excited and enjoyed being so close to so many dolphins!
I want to participate again!
7歳の息子と主人の3人で!
いるかいっぱい会えて、本当に感動しました!
子供は泳げないのですが、貸してくれるライフジャケットと浮き棒で泳いで楽しんでました♫
スタッフの方に連れらて泳いだりと親もずっと子供に着きっきりまでにはならず、
私自身もいるかの近さ、多さにすごく興奮し楽しむことができました!
また参加したいです!
Aloha!! Ranran,
Thank you for participating in the private Dolphin Middle School tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.
