During our trip, we accidentally found and participated in the "Dolphin University" tour, and the result was extremely satisfying. My wife was very happy, and I was also moved by the experience of seeing wild dolphins and sea turtles up close.
For those considering participation, here is a summary of the tour experience and advice.
【Tour Participation Information】
• Timing: It is recommended to participate after the third day of your trip, when your body has acclimated to the local environment. (I participated on the second day after arrival and felt a bit of jet lag.)
• Participation Time: I joined the tour that started at 11:30.
• Transportation: We used a bus shuttle from Ko Olina (about 20-30 minutes one way).
• Return Time: We returned to Ko Olina around 15:30.
【Tour Content and Impressions】
1. Cruising and Encountering Wildlife: After departing, we had a short cruise and were able to encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles.
2. Snorkeling: It was time for snorkeling. Although we wore life jackets, moving away from the boat involved quite a bit of exercise, making it feel quite strenuous even for someone like me who swims regularly at the gym. Those who are not confident swimmers should consider participating carefully.
3. Onboard Activities and Lunch: After snorkeling, we enjoyed activities like a slide and took a light shower before having lunch.
4. Return to Port and Shuttle: After the meal, we returned to the port and were shuttled back to the hotel, concluding the tour.
【Advice on Motion Sickness】
• Motion Sickness Medication: I was worried about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medication I brought from Japan, so I was able to enjoy the day without any issues.
• Caution: For those coming from Waikiki, the bus ride will be longer. Considering the bus travel before boarding the boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before getting on the bus.
It was a tour that created wonderful memories. I recommend being in good health to fully enjoy it.
妻との旅行中に偶然見つけて参加した「イルカ大学」のツアーでしたが、結果は非常に満足できるものでした。妻も大変喜び、私自身も野生のイルカやウミガメを間近で見ることができて、感動的な体験となりました。
これから参加を検討されている方へ、ツアーの体験情報とアドバイスをまとめます。
【ツアー参加情報】
• 参加のタイミング:旅行の3日目以降の、体調が現地に慣れた頃の参加がおすすめです。(私は到着2日目の参加で、若干の時差ボケを感じました)
• 参加時間:11:30開始の便に参加しました。
• 送迎:コオリナからのバス送迎を利用しました(片道約20〜30分)。
• 帰着時間:コオリナに帰着したのは15:30頃でした。
【ツアー内容と体験の所感】
1. クルージングと野生動物との遭遇:出港後、短時間のクルージングを経て、野生のイルカやウミガメに遭遇することができました。
2. シュノーケリング:シュノーケリングの時間となります。ライフジャケットは着用しますが、船から離れて移動するため、普段ジムで泳いでいる私でもかなり運動量が多く、ハードに感じました。泳ぎが苦手な方は、参加を慎重にご検討ください。
3. 船上でのアクティビティと昼食:シュノーケリングの後、スライダーなどのアクティビティを楽しみ、軽くシャワーを浴びてから昼食をいただきました。
4. 帰港・送迎:食事後、寄港地に戻り、バスでホテルまで送迎いただきツアー終了となりました。
【船酔いに関するアドバイス】
• 酔い止め:船酔いが心配でしたが、日本から持参した酔い止めを飲んだため、終日問題なく過ごせました。
• 注意点:ワイキキ方面から参加される方はバスの乗車時間が長くなります。船に乗る前のバス移動も考慮し、バスに乗車する前に酔い止めを服用することをおすすめします。
最高の思い出になるツアーでした。体調を万全にして臨むことをおすすめします。

I looked at various reviews and checked the tide before going. I had a lot of fun paddleboarding and snorkeling. Izumi-san (a Japanese person) explained everything, so it's totally fine even if you don't understand English. About 70% of the participants were Japanese. Since it's a place you can only reach by boat, the price might be reasonable, but since the playtime is only about two hours, it would be nice if it were a bit longer. There was also a simple toilet available.
It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was murky, and there were only black fish that looked like carp. I heard there were sea turtles, but I didn't see any. Some people say it's really beautiful, but I think it's better not to have high expectations.
I only took cash for tips as valuables, but I forgot the bus tip (1 dollar), so it's better to bring both the crew tip and the bus tip.
On the way back, since you return in your swimsuit, it's good to wear something over it.
Having a waterproof case for your smartphone is convenient, but the screen reflects and is hard to see, so the images I took were pretty unclear. At one point, it overheated and I got a warning about high temperatures, so I couldn't use it for a while.
I thought the bus would take me right to the hotel, but the area is large, and the bus stop is hard to find, so it's necessary to check in advance. There’s a waiting area for various tour bus stops, so if you’re not waiting there, they might not find you, so please be careful.

I was very relieved to have someone who spoke Japanese on the boat. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was surprised. The water was shallow enough to my thighs, so I could play without worry. After putting on a life jacket, I swam in a spot that was about 10 meters deep. I was glad to see several sea turtles.

Thanks to Jamie, our savior who understands English, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling! Especially, when he asked my 14-year-old daughter if she could swim, and she replied that she wasn't very good at it, he made sure to assign a staff member to help her. She was so happy to see a turtle! On the way back, when she felt seasick, he brought her ginger ale, and after drinking it, she felt completely better, which became a great memory as well! Thank you so much!
英語がわからないわたし達の救世主、ジェイミーさんのお陰でsupやシュノーケリングを存分に楽しめました!

This time, the water level was high, and I couldn't touch the bottom at all when getting off the boat, so I think it's better for those who are not confident in swimming to borrow a life jacket!

Due to a last-minute change, I participated in the Dolphin University tour. From the hotel pickup to the return, it was a very enjoyable tour filled with hospitality.
The tour involved a medium-sized cruise (with about 30-50 participants, including international guests) to the dolphin spotting area. Once we found dolphins, everyone jumped in together and swam a little to where the dolphins were, which we did twice. Then, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we swam while looking for sea turtles.
From the boat, we could see several wild dolphins swimming and breathing. During the swimming part with the dolphins, we were able to see a few dolphins swimming in groups up close in the water. However, since dolphins swim quickly, some people seemed unable to see them, so there was a bit of luck involved. The tour guide provided clear guidance to ensure everyone could see, and since we could see them from the boat, I think everyone was satisfied.
Additionally, at the snorkeling spot, the slide attached to the boat was also very enjoyable, not just the snorkeling itself. Overall, it was a tour that I would love to participate in again.
直前の変更でイルカ大学への参加となりました。
ホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、ホスピタリティ溢れる非常に楽しいツアーでした。
肝心のツアー概要は、イルカのスポットまで中型クルーズ(海外の方含め30-50名ほど参加)でイルカスポットまで移動し、イルカを見つけたらみんなで一斉に飛び込んでイルカがいるところまで少し泳ぐ、というのを2回やった上で、今度はシュノーケルスポットに移動してウミガメを見つけながら泳ぐと言う流れでした。
イルカについては船の上から、息をしたり泳ぐ野生のイルカが何匹も見れます。ただイルカと泳ぐパートについても、海の中で数匹で群を成して泳ぐイルカを近距離で見ることができました。ただイルカも泳ぐスピードが速いので、一部の方は見ることが出来なかったようで、運の要素も少しはあるように感じました。ただツアーガイドの方はみんなが見れるよう、しっかりとガイダンスを出していましたし、船の上からは見れたので皆さん満足していたように思います。
またシュノーケリングスポットでは、シュノーケリングのみならず船併設の滑り台も非常に良かったです。
全体として、また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
If there is one thing to note, it can get quite cold on the boat if the wind is strong and there is no sunlight, so I recommend bringing one extra layer than you might expect.
一つあるとすれば、船上は風が強く日差しがないとかなり冷えるので、思ったよりも1枚多く上着を持っていかれることをお勧めします。

We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.
The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.
I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.

The tour itself was great - however the instructions were very clear that if you were late you’d be left behind. The guides let people wander in as late as 930 although check in time was 845 and the boat was supposed to leave at 9. Table choice was also not first come first serve - they saved the window seats for people with children so despite our group being one of the first to arrive we were placed in a center table and the people arriving 45 mins late and holding up the whole group got the window seats.
Once on the water the tour was great :) guides were friendly and helpful

We received a phone call and email in advance informing us that the dolphin middle school tour was canceled due to the captain's sudden health issues. They also suggested participating on another day or joining the dolphin university tour (with a free upgrade) that was held on the same day. We decided to join the dolphin university tour, and it turned out to be a great decision. As soon as the boat set sail, we were able to see a pod of dolphins from the deck. After about 30 minutes out at sea, we entered the water and were able to see the dolphins swimming underwater. We discovered dolphins at another point as well, but since they weren't swimming in a consistent direction, we ended up watching them from the boat there. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
キャプテンの急な体調不良によりイルカ中学ツアーが中止となることを事前にお電話、Eメールにて連絡を頂き、あわせて別日での参加、もしくは同日に開催されるイルカ大学(無料アップグレード)への参加を提案頂きました。私たちはイルカ大学に参加することにし、結果として大正解でした。ボートが出港してすぐに船上からイルカの群れを見ることができました。そして30分ほど沖に出て、今度は海に入り、泳いでいるイルカを水中から見ることもできました。別のポイントでもイルカを発見しましたが、一定方向にイルカが泳いでいなかったこともあり、そこでは船上から見ることになりましたが、大満足のツアーでした。
It's important to have measures in place for cold protection when coming out of the sea and to prevent seasickness.
海からあがった時の寒さ対策、船酔い対策は必要です。
Aloha! Fumifumi. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I appreciate your understanding of the sudden tour changes. It was very lucky to encounter two types of dolphins and to see them underwater! Thank you also for your comments regarding cold weather and motion sickness precautions. Please do come back to visit us when you're in Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Fumifumiさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。急なツアー変更を了承していただき、感謝いたします。2種類のイルカに出会い、しかもイルカを水中で見ることが出来て、とてもラッキーでした!! 寒さ対策や酔い止め対策に関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

I swam with dolphins in the ocean off the coast of Oahu at a depth of 1500 meters!\(^o^)/
The guide, Minako, pulled me along with a buoy, even though I can't swim at all at 68 years old, and helped me get close to the dolphins. ☺️
At a secret snorkeling spot along the coast, I was moved to swim in the same water as beautiful fish, including spotted eagle rays!
Thank you so much, Minako, Captain Jason, Kristin, and the incredibly kind photographer Yuya! ❤(ӦvӦ。)

This dolphin tour was really fun. It was a valuable experience, and I felt safe using it. For those who are worried about seasickness due to the waves, I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication. The driver who picked us up, the captain of the boat, and the crew who guided us were all very attentive and excellent. They also provided drinks and snacks.
However, I was disappointed with the optional photo sales in the latter part of the tour. I think it would be better to include it in the tour cost or have those who want it speak up. I purchased the photos, but the images of the people who participated with me also came along, so we should consider the privacy concerns that Japanese people might have.
このイルカツアーは本当に楽しかったです。
貴重な経験ができますし、安心して利用できました。
波があるため船酔いに不安のある方は、強めの酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。
送迎されるドライバー、船の船長、案内してくれるクルーは気配りができて最高でした。
ドリンクや軽食も用意してくれます。
しかし、任意のツアー後半の写真販売は、残念でした。 ツアーの費用に盛り込むか、欲しい人は声をかけてでいいと思います。 写真を購入しましたが、一緒に参加した人の画像も、もれなくついてくるので日本人が、気にするプライバシーは考慮するべきでしょう。
Aloha! Thank you, Shimoki, for participating in Dolphin University this time. We appreciate you sharing your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dolphin tour and felt safe during your experience.
We also thank you for your comments regarding motion sickness prevention. We take your feedback about photo sales seriously. We apologize for not meeting your expectations in this regard. We aim to create a more satisfactory approach, considering privacy and conducting photography only for those who wish to participate.
We will continue to strive to provide better experiences. We sincerely look forward to your next participation.

写真販売についてのご指摘、真摯に受け止めました。現状がご期待に沿わず、申し訳ございませんでした。プライバシーへの配慮や、希望者のみの撮影を行うなど、よりご納得いただける形を目指します。

Thanks to Jamie and the staff's thoughtful care, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It was a strange feeling to be right in the middle of the ocean. They showed us the corals and fish underwater, and even picked up a pink sea cucumber from the ocean for us to see. The SUP after scuba diving was also fun. Additionally, I was lucky enough to spot a honu five times. Their little heads popping up for air were incredibly cute. I'm grateful to the staff for providing such a wonderful experience.

海のど真ん中にたてるのは不思議な感覚です。
海中の珊瑚や魚を見せていただき、ピンク色のシー キューカンバを海中から拾って見せて下さいました。スキューバの後のSUPも楽しかったです。

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.
潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。
Dear Tuna,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your valuable feedback.
The appearance of the sandbar can change significantly depending on the tides. During low tide, the sandy beach becomes visible, while at high tide, it may be submerged. If you want to ensure a good view of the sandbar, we recommend checking the tides in advance.
On the other hand, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as interacting with our crew in Japanese.
Once again, thank you for your valuable advice and warm review. We hope you will join us again at a different tide level to enjoy the various expressions of the sandbar.
Mahalo,

このたびはツアーにご参加いただき、貴重なご感想をお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
サンドバーの姿はその日の潮汐によって大きく変わり、干潮時には砂浜が現れ、満潮時には海中に隠れてしまうことがございます。サンドバーを確実にご覧になりたい場合は、事前に潮汐をご確認いただくことをおすすめしております。
一方で、シュノーケルやサップを楽しんでいただき、弊社の日本語でのクルーとの交流などをご満喫されたとのお声を伺い、大変嬉しく思っております。
改めまして、貴重なアドバイスと温かいレビューをありがとうございました。ぜひまた別の潮位のタイミングでもご参加いただき、異なるサンドバーの表情をお楽しみいただければ幸いです。

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.
