I was able to swim with a pod of dolphins, and I was very satisfied! They provided detailed explanations about precautions, so I felt安心して参加できます. Also, the guides from the Private Dolphin Middle School were all energetic, and the bus ride there was a lot of fun.
イルカの群れと泳ぐことができ、大満足でした!

We woke up at 5 AM and participated as a family of three. After about an hour's ride on the bus, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located by boat. To see the dolphins, we had to follow the instructor's directions and move back and forth from the shore to the open sea multiple times, which was suddenly tiring. It felt like a physical education class.
The sea was beautiful, and we saw many dolphins, so it was enjoyable, but my wife got seasick and was exhausted in the second half. If you're okay with boats and the sea, I think it's an activity you can enjoy thoroughly.
朝五時に起きて家族3人で参加しました。
バスで一時間ぐらい走ってから、船でイルカのいるポイントまで移動。イルカを見るにはインストラクターの指示にしたがって、岸へ沖へ、何度も移動せねばならず、いきなり疲れます。体育の授業とのこと。
海はきれいでイルカもたくさん見れたので楽しかったのですが、妻は船酔いしてしまい、後半はぐったりしてました。
船や海が平気なら十分楽しめるアクティビティだとおもいます。

We participated as a family of seven.
It was incredibly moving to see dolphins up close! There was someone in the tour group who couldn't see the dolphins, so they kept searching until that person could see them, and in the end, everyone was able to see the dolphins.
We also got to see sea turtles up close, which was another amazing experience.
The guide and crew made various efforts to entertain the participants, and I think it was a very satisfying tour.
However, the meals were really just light snacks, so if you eat a lot, you might prefer a tour that includes more substantial meals.
By the way, babies can also join the tour, but be careful as it can get quite bumpy on the way to the points, and you might get splashed with seawater.
Overall, I am very satisfied.
家族7名で参加しました。
イルカをすごく間近に見ることができ、とても感動しました!ツアー参加者の中でイルカを見れなかった人がいたので、その人が見れるまでイルカを探してくれて、最終的には全員がイルカを見ることができました。
ウミガメも間近で見ることができ、これもすごくいい体験でした。
ガイドの方もクルーの方々も、参加者を楽しませようと色々工夫をしてくださっていて、とても満足のいくツアーだったと思います。
ただ、食事が本当に軽食のみなので、たくさん食べる方は食事がたくさんついているツアーの方がいいかもしれません。
ちなみに赤ちゃんも一緒に見学で参加できますが、ポイントに向かう途中結構揺れて海水もかかるので、要注意です。
総合的には非常に満足です。

This was my first time using the service.
The night before, the winds in Waikiki were strong, and I was worried about the sea conditions, but since it was on the west side, I participated in the early morning tour, and the visibility was excellent.
We were able to have a rendezvous with dolphins and sea turtles, and the kids were very satisfied with the tour.
As expected, the winds picked up on the way back, so while it requires an early wake-up, I think the early morning tour is recommended.
The guide, Natsumi, had a great tempo in her guiding, thank you! 🎶
初めて利用させてもらいました。
前日の晩からワイキキきは風が強く、海況が心配でしたが西側のポイントだったからか朝一のツアーに参加したのですが、透明度と言い最高な状況でした。
イルカ、海ガメとのランデブーもでき子供達も大満足なツアーとなりました。
やはり帰りは風が上がってきたので、早起きにはなりますが朝一ツアーがおススメだと思います。

Minako talking a lot on the bus in the morning is just so funny!
In Hawaii, it seems they call each other by their first names, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but once you get used to it, it's fine!
The place we're going to is not the beach in the city, but a more remote area where Hawaiian people live, accessed by the highway. I was so moved when we sang to the gods on the boat and saw wild dolphins.
I could even hear their calls.
I’m really, really glad I went.
At the end, we danced and saw sea turtles, beautiful colorful fish, and the vast, deep ocean during the dolphin university snorkeling. I will definitely come back!
朝からバスの中でミナコがいっぱい喋ってるのがとにかく面白い!!
ハワイでは下の名前でそのまま呼ぶらしくちょっぴりドキドキするけど慣れちゃえば平気♪
行くところは街の中の海じゃなくて高速に乗って離れた所にある、ハワイアンの人達が住むところ。船の上で神様に歌を歌って、野生のイルカを見た時にはもう感動しました。
鳴き声も聞こえました。
本当に、本当にいってよかった。

Our activity was rescheduled by the company for a 3 days later which we received a gift for our inconvenience. When we arrived we quickly realized that there were going to be many people going. I was expecting a much smaller group. Our family of 5 decided to ride on the upper deck and had the best time. Our main guide was Oliver who was very friendly and funny. He made our experience very enjoyable. The entire crew was friendly as well. The Captain proceeded to try to find dolphins. Much to our dismay he was unable to locate them but he drove all over trying his best to locate them. With the changes in the water with the hurricane 1300 miles away the dolphins had retreated to deeper waters. This didn't take away from our very fun experience. We were able to snorkel for a good amount of time where we did see a turtle. Other water activities were available as well. There were 2 photographers on board.. 1 which was in the water as well. We were fed lunch very efficiently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. We were treated to 2 hula dancers which was a lot of fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone. A great
crew and a fun adventure!

Overall this was not one of the better snorkel experiences. The boat was too crowded, with 61 snorkelers. The right size for the boat should have been about 40. Especially crowded at the start where people were not allowed on the top deck when leaving port.
The crew try their best to provide a good time. They are energetic and enthusiastic.
Food option was another issue. Basically you get either a cheeseburger or veggie cheeseburger. No other choices. I hate cheese. Since food is pre-made, there is no opportunity for a simple hamburger. Drinks are either water or watered down lemonade, served in tiny cups. Should have had more variety and larger cups. You also can get a bag of chips.
Swimming with the dolphin is basically everyone jump in the water, look down to see a couple dolphins swim by, and then jump right back in the boat.
Snorkeling was not rushed, but the site did not have many fish or varieties of fish.
Water slide was fun. Much more fun than snorkeling.
Aloha
I am sorry that conditions were less than ideal on your tour.
Our boat is actually certified for 97 passengers. We will talk to our staff about openinig up the top deck from the begining. Usually for larger groups we do allow that. There should be room for everyone to move around comfortably from the onset.
We have a no cheese option for both the beef and veggie burger. We are constantly trying to improve our program. We actually just got our Liquor License and have been discussing different beverage options.
The swim with the dolphins and snorkeling vary based on conditions and their behavior. Ideally we like to have longer, closer views of the animals in their natural enviornment. Usually we see turtles and a variety of fish. Occassionally other cool sea life like eels, rays and even monk seals.
We are glad you enjoyed the slide. And hope you can come back with us sometime so we an make the experience and memory better for you.
Kind regards

There was a bit of trouble with the operating company at the meeting point. We arrived at the meeting location more than five minutes before the scheduled time. Then, a flashy bus with the "Dolphin & You" logo passed right in front of us, and thinking we had been left behind, we hurried to chase after it, but it just kept going. Since we had minimal luggage and didn't have our smartphones, we had no choice but to return to the hotel, where we received a call from the operating company... They said they had come to pick us up at the meeting point but since we weren't there, we could no longer participate in the tour.
Actually, the bus we chased after was a different bus picking up Western guests, while Japanese guests were supposed to be picked up by a smaller van (a plain white bus without the operating company's name or logo), which apparently arrived quite late on the day of the tour. Despite this, the operating company said, "Since this is a cancellation on your part, we cannot issue a refund. If you want to participate, please take a taxi to the harbor." I thought it was unreasonable to ask us to take a taxi to a location that takes an hour by car, and when I expressed my frustration asking, "Is this really our responsibility???" they reluctantly agreed to send someone to pick us up.
On the morning of the tour, a confirmation call was made to the hotel, but the staff member was not fluent in Japanese and did not provide detailed information during the prior call. Therefore, I recommend confirming what kind of bus will come to pick you up on the day of the tour.
Once we got on the boat, I thought the staff members were very kind and helpful. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese fluently. They were very high-energy, which might be a bit overwhelming if you’re feeling unwell. In my case, I think the strong winds contributed to my discomfort, and I felt that snorkeling might be tough for small children... My child cried a lot during the first attempt and couldn't handle it. Dolphins can only be seen underwater as dark shadows, so it might be better for children to see them from the boat.
I also brought an underwater camera, but it's quite difficult unless you're a good swimmer. Regarding clothing, I wore a rash guard and tights, and I think that was sufficient without needing to rent a wetsuit (the rental wetsuits are short types). As for belongings, you should definitely borrow a bath towel from the hotel and bring it with you. It can get a bit chilly on the way back, so it's better to take off wet rash guards and dry off with the bath towel before putting on a dry shirt.
As for tipping, which can be confusing for Japanese people, it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. The Q&A section on the operating company's website also mentions that a small gesture is sufficient. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.
集合時に運営会社と少しとトラブルになりました。
私たちは集合場所に待ち合わせ時間の5分以上前から来ていました。
すると「ドルフィン&ユー」のロゴが描かれた派手めのバスが目の前を通り過ぎてしまったので、置いて行かれたと思い、慌てて追いかけたのですが、そのまま行ってしまいました。
荷物も最小限で、スマホも持っていなかったので、仕方なくホテルに戻ったところ、運営会社から電話が・・・。集合場所にピックアップにきたが、いないのでもうツアーには参加できないとのことでした。
実は我々が追いかけたバスは、欧米人客を拾っていく別便のバスで、日本人客はそれよりは小さいバンのようなバス(運営会社名もロゴもない、真っ白なバスです)が拾っていくことになってたらしいのですが、当日それが待ち合わせ時間よりもかなり遅れてきたのです。
・・・にも関わらず、運営会社がいうには、「そちらの都合のキャンセルなので、返金には応じられない。参加したければ、タクシーでハーバーまで来てください。」とのことでした。
車で1時間もかかるところに、タクシーで来いというのもどうかと思いますし、さすがに「それってこちらの責任なのですか???」と憤ったところ、渋々なんとか迎えにきてくれました。
当日の朝に確認の電話がホテルに掛かってきますが、そのときのスタッフは日本語が堪能ではなく、事前の電話でそこまで詳細な情報までは教えてはくれませんでした。
ですので、当日はどんなバスが迎えにくるのかを必ず確認された方がいいと思います。
船に乗ってからは、スタッフの皆さんとても親切で良かったと思います。
日本語がとても流暢なスタッフもいました。
とてもハイテンションなので、気分が悪くなるとちょっとしんどいかもしれません。
私の場合は、結構風が強かったのも原因かと思いますが、シュノーケリングは小さいお子さんは厳しいかも・・・という印象でした。
うちの子は、1回目で大泣きでダメでした。
イルカは水中で見ても、黒い影のようにしか見えないので、子供は船上で見た方がいいかもしれません。
あと水中カメラを持っていきましたが、泳ぎが得意な方でないとなかなか難しいです。
あと服装ですが、私はラッシュカードとタイツをはいて行きましたが、ウエットスーツ(貸しウエットスーツは短パンタイプです)を借りなくても、これで十分だと思いました。
荷物としては、バスタオルはホテルで借りて必ず持っていくべきでしょう。やはり帰りはちょっと寒いので、ぬれたラッシュガードなどは脱いで、バスタオルで体を拭って、乾いたシャツ等を着る方がいいと思います。
日本人が戸惑うチップですが、そんなにきっちり払っている感じはなかったです。運営会社HPのQ&Aにも書いてありますが、気持ち程度でいいと思います。
皆さんの参考になればと思います。

I participated on July 11. At first, I was a bit anxious because I couldn't encounter any dolphins, but I was able to see them on the second approach. Since I swim slowly, I had a hard time keeping up with everyone and was starting to give up on seeing them, but in the end, I was able to meet a pod of dolphins. Everyone mentioned seeing several sea turtles, but when I finally joined the group, there were none around, and I thought I was out of luck again, but I did manage to see one swimming by. That was great! The spam onigiri served on the boat was delicious. It was mentioned that the tip should be around 15%, and I honestly thought $20 per person was a bit tough, but the guide on the day informed us that $5 per person was acceptable, and I was happy to give that amount.
7月11日に参加しました。最初のアプローチではイルカと出会えず
少し不安になりましたが2回目のアプローチで出会えました。特に自分は泳ぎが遅いためなかなか皆さんについていけず、自分だけ見ることができず少し諦めかけていましたが、最後の最後で群れでいるイルカと出会うことができました。ウミガメも皆さんは数匹みれたといっていましたが自分が皆さんの輪にただりついたときは全然いなくて、これまたダメかーと思いましたが一匹だけ泳いでいるのをみれました。良かった!船の上でふるまわれたスパムおにぎり、美味しかったです。チップは15%くらいとここでは書かれており1人20ドルは正直キツイなあと思っていましたが、当日のガイドさんからは1人5ドルと案内いただき5ドルならと気持ちよく渡すことができました。
Since this is America, receiving tips encourages the staff, but it's entirely up to your feelings, so there's no need to worry about the amount or payment. Thank you for your consideration. Mahalo!

I was given motion sickness medication, and there was a restroom on the boat. It was great to see dolphins swimming right below us and schools of them passing in front of us. However, it was confusing to be dropped off at a snorkeling spot where there was nothing to see, and the photographer was unnaturally energetic, which was a bit annoying. I think a more assertive approach might create good memories for couples. Overall, it was nice to see the dolphins.
酔い止めを渡され、船内にトイレもありました。イルカが真下を泳いでいたり、目の前を通る群れを見れてよかったです。ただ、シュノーケルのスポットは何もいないのに降ろされて意味不明だったのと、カメラマンが常に不自然な程テンションが高くめんどくさかったです。多少強引な方が、カップルさんとかは良い思い出になると思います。内容的にはイルカが見れてよかったです。

It was our first experience with snorkeling, and we were a bit anxious, but thanks to the guidance from the staff and their encouragement to look down, we were able to see dolphins multiple times.

It was amazing to see dolphins and sea turtles up close!
It's cold, so it's better to bring warm clothing.
About 30% of the participants got seasick because it was quite rocky. Haha.
I think it's worth going!!
イルカも海亀も近くで観れて最高でした!
寒いので防寒着は持って行った方がいいです。
参加者の3割が船酔いになるくらい揺れましたが。笑
行く価値ありだと思います!!
It was great to see both dolphins and turtles! It can get cold on the water when the wind blows, so I think it's a good idea to bring a sweatshirt or something similar.
イルカもカメも見れて良かったですね!
海の上は、風が吹くと寒いのでトレーナーなどお持ちになるといいと思います。

In the morning, I was worried that my children might get seasick, so I gave them some candy for motion sickness. However, as soon as the boat set off, there was no time to feel sick, and we got to see dolphins and sea turtles. My one-year-old son was also having fun on the boat, pointing and saying "Ah, ah." My elementary school daughter got super excited when she swam and saw a huge group of dolphins in the direction the instructor was pointing! Even my dad, who isn't a great swimmer, and my grandmother, who is over 70, all enjoyed it together.
I definitely want to go again the next time we visit Hawaii. It was really fun!
朝は早く、子供が酔わないか心配だったので、飴の酔い止めを舐めさせました。
でも船が出て酔う暇もなく、イルカや、ウミガメに会えました。
1歳の息子も船の上から「あ、あ、」と指を差しながら楽しんでいました。
小学生の娘は泳いでインストラクターの指す方向を向くとイルカの大群を見て大興奮!!
泳ぎの苦手なパパも、70過ぎのばあばもみんなで楽しめました。
次にハワイに行くときも絶対に行こうと思っています。本当に楽しかったー
Please come and visit with your family again!

また家族皆様で遊びに来て下さいね!

I have signed up for dolphin tours in various places, but this was my first time with Dolphin Junior High. The weather was great, perfect for a day at sea! The bus was large and impressive, and the boat was quite nice as well. Since it involves nature, the schedule was fluid, and I understand that they were trying their best, but it felt a bit chaotic at times. The photographer's work was inconsistent, so I decided not to purchase any photos.
イルカツアーは色々なところに申し込み毎回行っていますが、イルカ中学は初めてでした。
お天気良く最高の海日和!バスは大きく立派、船もなかなかです。内容的には自然相手なので流動的で、必死なのはわかりますが…ちょっとばたついてました。カメラマンさんは撮影にムラがあるので購入しませんでした。
Thank you for your feedback. I will take it into consideration for the future.
ご意見ありがとうございます。
今後の参考にさせて頂きます。

The moment I got on the bus early in the morning while still feeling sleepy, Michael (the photographer) was so high-energy that it shook off my drowsiness. Listening to our guide Natsumi's explanations made the travel time fly by.
The crew on the boat was also lively and cheerful, and at first, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but by the time we were heading back, I was completely hooked. The staff was dedicated to finding dolphins, and we had two dolphin dives where I got to swim with many dolphins right beneath me.
This tour was incredibly fun. Every time our eyes met, the staff would engage with us. Especially Michael, who, despite being a photographer, really energized everyone. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was a refreshing and immensely satisfying experience. I definitely want to participate again.
朝早くまだ眠い中バスに乗った瞬間、マイコー(フォトグラファー)のハイテンションに眠気もさめガイドのナツミさんの説明を聞きながらあっという間の移動時間でした。
船のクルーたちも皆元気で明るくテンション高く、最初はついていけないかな?とちょっと不安もありましたが、帰るころにはすっかりはまってました。
イルカ探しにスタッフが一生懸命で、イルカダイブも2回あり自分の真下にたくさんのイルカを見ながら泳げました。
このツアーは最高に楽しませてくれます。目が合うたびにスタッフが声をかけてくれます。
特にマイコーはフォトグラファーなのにとにかく皆を元気にしてくれます。
ハワイは何度も行ってますが、久しぶりに楽しく大大大満足でした。
是非又参加したいです。
The dolphin tour is full of energy thanks to the natural power of Hawaii! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo.
イルカツアーはハワイの自然パワーもありみんな元気一杯です!
また遊びに来てくださいね。

In Hawaii, the weather unexpectedly turned bad, and it was raining, making it difficult to find a pod of dolphins. However, thanks to the captain's perseverance, we were able to find a pod of wild dolphins, and the kids were overjoyed.
ハワイでは珍しく天気が悪くなってしまい、雨が降る中、なかなか群れが見つけられずにいましたが、船長さんが諦めずに探してくれたおかげで野生のイルカの群れを見つけることができ、子供も大喜びでした。
Since they are wild animals, it can be difficult to encounter them, but I'm glad we were able to meet.
野生の生き物なのでなかなか会えないこともございますが、出会うことができてよかったです。

Waking up early was worth it! When we participated, we quickly got to see dolphins, and it seemed like we were close to the snorkeling spot, so we could stay in the water for a long time. We also got to see sea turtles! Since there were a lot of people, I thought some might find it a bit hard to see the dolphins and turtles when everyone gathered around. The staff were all cheerful, and we had a great time (^_^) The ocean was very beautiful too!
There were also slides from the SUP and the boat, and they played the ukulele for us, finishing with a group hula dance, which was a lot of fun. We had a very fulfilling time! For those who are not good at swimming, I think they provide something like a floatation device, so that should be reassuring.
It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to the ocean, so I thought it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers this time! They also prepared snacks, juice, and water!
早起きした甲斐がありました!
私たちが参加した時はイルカにもすぐ会えて、シュノーケリングスポットの近くだったようなので長い間海にいることができました。ウミガメにも会えました!人数が多いのでイルカや亀がいると全員が集まってくるので少し見づらい方も中にはいるかなと思いました。スタッフの皆さんも陽気な方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました(^_^)海もとても綺麗でした!
SUPや船から滑り台もあり、ウクレレも弾いてくれて最後は全員でフラダンス笑。とても充実した時間を過ごすことができました!泳ぐのが苦手な方は浮くことのできる棒のようなものを渡してくれるはずなので安心かなと思います。
ワイキキから海までバスの時間が1時間?位あったので酔い止め飲んでた方が安心だなと思いました。
お昼ご飯は今回はチーズバーガーでした!スナックとジュース、お水も準備してくれてます!
Thank you for participating! I'm curious about your thoughts on the "bouncy sea."
ご参加ありがとうございました!
”とぅるんとぅるんな海”の感想が気になります。

I went snorkeling for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a good swimmer and I was scared of not being able to touch the ground, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I thought I should give it a try at least once. The ocean was so beautiful, and it was a lot of fun swimming while looking at the underwater scenery. I didn't see any dolphins on the first try, and on the second try, I was too tired and just watched from the boat.
For lunch, they give you a hamburger, and you can add tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard while sitting down, so you don't have to worry. The hamburgers and snacks were delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! Many people got seasick, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're worried about that.
初めてシュノーケリングをしました。
実は泳ぐのが苦手で地に足が着かないのも怖くて嫌だったのですが、せっかくハワイに来たので1回くらい…と思って参加しました。
海がとても綺麗で、海の中を見ながら泳げてとても楽しかったです。
1回目ではイルカが見れず、2回目は体力がなくて船の上から見ました(^^;
お昼のハンバーガーは貰ってからトマトやレタス、ケチャップやマスタードをつけてくれるので座ってて大丈夫です。
ハンバーガーもスナックも美味しいし景色も綺麗で最高でした!
船酔いする方が多かったので、心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲むのを強くオススメします。

There were dolphins, and I jumped in. They quickly swam away, and I hoped for a chance to try again, but that was it. I didn't even get lunch on the bus ride back, so I was really hungry.
イルカがいて飛び込みました。
すぐに泳ぎ去り、再チャレンジを期待しましたが、おしまいでした。
ランチが帰りのバスまでもらえなくて、腹ペコでした。

The weather was nice, there weren't too many people, the guide was fun, and we got to see dolphins. The baby spinner dolphins jumped and spun a lot, and I definitely want to participate again.
天気も良く、人数も多過ぎず、ガイドさんも楽しく、盛り上がってイルカが見れました。 ベビースピナーが沢山ジャンプスピンを見せてくれて、また是非参加したいと思いました。
Please come back to see the baby dolphin grow up! We are looking forward to your visit!
赤ちゃんイルカが大きくなったのをまた見に来てくださいね。
お待ちしています!

The sea was blue, the mountains were beautiful, and there were many dolphins and sea turtles... It was an incredibly wonderful experience. The staff were all fun people, and I had a great time. Since it was an early morning tour, I had plenty of time in the afternoon, which was very nice. Next, I want to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island.
