Since I went in March, the water was cold! Even with a wetsuit on, I shivered after being in for a long time. It was great to see a group of nearly 20 dolphins. However, I think it would have been even better if I had brought my own underwater camera.
3月に行ったので水は冷たかったです!ウェットスーツを着ても長い間入ってると身体がふるえました。
イルカにも20匹近くの団体に会えたりしてよかったです。ただ自分で水中カメラを用意していくともっともっとよかったのではと思いました。

I participated with three women on February 27.
The weather was nice, warm, and perfect for the beach.
The guides, Kayoko, Papa, Peter, Olli, Bobby, and Justin, were all unique and wonderful people! I especially appreciated Kayoko's help.
Fortunately, we were able to see whales and turtles. We also got a great view of dolphins, and even for someone like me who is scared of the ocean, it was so cute that I forgot all about my fears!
Kayaking was also fun♪
I would love to participate again!
2月27日に女3人で参加しました。
天気も良く、温かくて海日和でした。
ガイドのかよこサン・パパ・ピーター・オリちゃん・

み~んな個性ある、いい方たちでした★
とくに、かよこサンにはお世話になりました。
運良く、クジラとカメも見れました。
イルカも、バッチリ見れて
海が怖い私でも、そんな事忘れちゃうぐらい
と~ってもキュートでした!!!
カヤックも楽しかったです♪

It was early in the morning, so I was a bit sleepy, but our local guide, YURIKO, greeted us with such brightness and energy. On the bus, she explained the activities in a fun and easy-to-understand way while playing a DVD, and before we knew it, we arrived at the port! On the boat, there were crew members and coincidentally, a reporter and photographer from a Japanese Hawaii magazine, so we boarded with a large group and set sail! We explored the beautiful sea at dawn while searching for dolphins. Just when we were feeling a bit disappointed because we couldn't find any dolphins, we spotted a whale spouting! After that, dolphins were still elusive, so we temporarily stopped the boat to experience snorkeling in a spot known for its abundant tropical fish! It was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the beautiful, colorful tropical fish, starfish, and sea urchins. Just then, a large group of dolphins swam right by us!!! Everyone's excitement skyrocketed, and we made a U-turn towards the direction the dolphins were swimming. I struggled a bit with snorkeling since it was my first time and fell behind. However, the staff quickly noticed and kindly supported me. Just as I was catching my breath and getting ready to go, the dolphins came over, and I was able to swim alongside them up close. When I dove into the water, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins, which was truly moving! I also saw a sea turtle, and at the end, there was a beautiful rainbow! On top of that, there was a double rainbow, which is said to bring good luck☆ The crew and the photographer were all smiles, saying that such a thing is rare. I definitely want to see everyone again! Thank you, YURIKO and all the crew members!
朝早かったので少し眠かったのですが、現地ガイドのYURIKOさんがとっても明るく元気に出迎えてくれました。バスの中ではアクティビティの内容を分り易く楽しくDVDを流しながら説明してくださりあっという間に港に到着!船にはクルーとたまたま日本のハワイ雑誌の取材の記者とカメラマンが来ており大所帯で乗り込みいざ出航!まだ朝焼けが綺麗な海をイルカを探しながらあちこち回りました。なかなかイルカが見つからず少し落胆してきたら偶然鯨の潮吹きが!その後もイルカはなかなか現れず、一旦船を止めて熱帯魚がたくさんいるという場所でシュノーケリングを体験!初体験でしたがすごく綺麗で色とりどりの熱帯魚や、ひとで、うになどを見れて感動してると・・・イルカの大群が真横を横切りました!!!みんな一気にテンションが上がりイルカの泳ぐ方向へUターン。私は始めてのシュノーケリングでうまく進めず疲れて遅れをとってしまいました。でもすぐにスタッフの方が気づいてくれて優しくサポートしてくださり、息が整っていざ向かおうとしたらイルカがこっちへ来てくれてすぐ近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。海に潜るとイルカの「きゅーきゅー」と言う可愛い鳴き声が聞けて本当に大感動でした!ウミガメも見れて最後には綺麗な虹が!その上に更に虹がかかり幸運を招くというダブルレインボウに☆こんなことは珍しいよと、クルーとカメラマンもニコニコ笑顔でした。またみんなに絶対会いたいです!ありがとうYURIKOさん&クルーの皆様!

This was what I was looking forward to the most on my trip to Hawaii, so my expectations were high, but it was even more fun than I anticipated, and my friends and I were thrilled. The brightness and attentiveness of the staff made the experience even more enjoyable.
The clarity of the ocean was amazing, and we were able to see many dolphins and fish. We even happened to encounter a sea turtle while we were kayaking! It was truly lucky.
The hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious, and the hula lesson was fun, so I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I will definitely be a repeat visitor.
I took a lot of photos, but unfortunately, they didn’t turn out very well, which was a bit disappointing.
今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだったので、それだけ期待も大きかったのですが、予想以上の楽しさで友人共々大感激でした。スタッフの方たちの明るさと気配りで、楽しさも一層倍増されました。
海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカもお魚もたくさん見ることができました。私たちはカヤックに乗っているとき偶然海がめにも出会えたんですよ!!本当ラッキー。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、フラレッスンも楽しかったですし、このツアーに参加してよかったです。リピーターになること間違いなしですね。
と、写真もたくさん撮ったのですが、やはり上手には写っていなかったので少し残念でした。

This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.
今回、初めてドルフィン&ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対!ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。

I was filled with excitement!
As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.
The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!
I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!
I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!
ワクワクしっぱなしでした☆
内容としては、
?出航して少しすると、「早く早く!!」とせかされながら海へ。
?ローカルスタッフの方が、「右!左!下!」とか言って下さるので、その方向を見れば、イルカが沢山!!
?イルカが遠くに行ってしまうと、船にあがり、また移動して海へ。(今回は三回海に入りました)
?次のスポットに移動。
?魚や海がめと泳ぐ。カヌー体験
?上記で40分ほど遊んだあと、チーズバーガーを食べながら 寄港。
?陸上で30分ほどフラ体験。
水の透明度はあまり高くなかったですが、まるで映像のように目の前に沢山のイルカが!!
イルカの話し声が聞こえます!
イルカが目の前でジャンプします!
海ガメは、運よく二頭を目の前に見ることができました。
距離としては触れるくらい!
金額もあの内容なら高くないと思います。
スタッフの方も皆さん親切な方で、運転も安全で、帰りもよく眠れました。次もまた参加したいような充実感です!
いつか子供が生まれたら、参加させてあげたい!

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.
When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.
Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!
「ドルフィン&ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。
最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇!
自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます!しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。
それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。
「ドルフィン&ユー」さん、ありがとうございました!

There are many tours where you can see wild dolphins, but Dolphin & You is truly recommended. The staff's response is polite, and they can communicate in Japanese, of course. The local staff are kind, so even those who are afraid of the ocean can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
The snorkeling after seeing the dolphins is enjoyable even for those who have dived at various points before. It has a charm different from diving.
The DVD I purchased turned out great, and it's a wonderful memory. I definitely want to go to Hawaii again and participate!
野生のイルカと会えるっていうツアーは沢山あるけど、ドルフィン&ユーは本当におすすめです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧、日本語ももちろん通じるし、現地スタッフの方も心優しくて、海が怖い方も安心して楽しめると思います。
イルカを見たあとのシュノーケリングは、今までダイビングでいろいろなポイントに潜ったことがある方でも、充分楽しめると思います。ダイビングとは違った魅力がありました。
購入したDVDもいい出来で、とてもいい思い出です。
またぜひハワイに行って参加したいです!!

We participated as a family of five (husband and wife + 8-year-old + 5-year-old + grandmother, 63 years old). I was worried because the children couldn't swim, but it was no problem at all. It happened to be my eldest son's birthday that day, and I was concerned about whether we would see dolphins, but a dolphin came close to my son, and he was overjoyed! After that, we also encountered turtles and beautiful tropical fish. It truly became a wonderful birthday memory. The staff were very kind, and I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises!

I participated with a friend on July 19. It was my first time snorkeling and swimming with dolphins, so I was a bit anxious, but it was incredibly fun.
On the day, we weren't able to see many dolphins, but I was really happy that the staff worked hard to find spots where we could see them. Since they are wild dolphins, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them, but we were satisfied to see at least a few.
The hamburgers they grilled on the boat were also really delicious, and it became a wonderful memory. Moreover, everyone on the staff, including Yuriko, was truly kind, and we had a great time.
Thank you very much. I would definitely love to participate again.

I participated with a close friend. Since it was both of our first time in Hawaii, we were looking for activities where we could see dolphins, but I was a bit worried because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The Japanese guide, Keiko, and the local staff were all very cheerful and kind. This time, based on the captain's decision, we descended the stairs of a catamaran and followed a pod of dolphins while holding onto a rope. I thought I wouldn't be able to chase the dolphins while snorkeling, so this was an unexpected and wonderful method! I heard that now, to protect baby dolphins, they swim fast and it's hard to keep up with them while snorkeling. I was so impressed by the staff who tried to show us the dolphins up close! There were plenty of dolphins, and it was a wonderful time. At the snorkeling spot, there were also turtles, and everyone was really enjoying themselves. The hamburgers were very delicious, and the hula dance lesson was fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.
仲良しの友だちとふたりで参加しました。
ふたりとも初ハワイだったのでイルカに会えるアクティヴィティを探していたんですが、泳ぎに自信がない私は少々心配もありました。
日本人ガイドのkeikoさんもロコのスタッフさんもとっても朗らかな良い方ばかりでしたし、今回は船長さんの判断でカタマランという船の階段に降り、ロープにつかまったままイルカの群れを追って見る方法でした。私はシュノーケルでイルカを追うのはできないなぁ…と思っていたので願ってもいない方法でした!今は赤ちゃんイルカを守るためにスピードが速くなかなかスノーケリングでは追いつけないそうです。なんとか近くで見せてくれようと考えてくださったスタッフに感激!イルカの数もいっぱいで素敵な時間でした。
スノーケルのポイントでは亀もいてみんな本当に楽しんでいました。
ハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったし、フラダンスレッスンもおもしろかったです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

The purpose of this trip was different, but while browsing the internet, I couldn't help but want to meet dolphins and sea turtles, which made choosing options within my limited time quite difficult.
I had been to Sea Life Park before, and since they offer activities where you can interact and play with dolphins, I thought that might be nice. I also considered scuba diving in the waters of Hawaii since I have diving experience...
I decided on Dolphin & You because, after looking at their website, it seemed like a very eco-friendly tour that was gentle on both people and nature.
It was a great choice!! It felt almost like a waste to go alone. I got to meet dolphins and encountered sea turtles. I didn't realize it at the time, but in the experience DVD I purchased, I discovered a sea turtle snuggling up next to the boat during the final photo session. My camera captured close-ups of the sea turtles and underwater shots of me looking graceful like a mermaid, taken by the accompanying photographer and local boys. I also learned hula while wearing a pareo and enjoyed delicious burgers—everything was perfect.
The most impressive part was the excellent service and thoughtfulness of all the staff. Since it was an early morning trip, we were able to make effective use of our time, and it was a day of complete satisfaction.
Even though the memories of the trip are fading, my passion for dolphins has not cooled down. I absolutely recommend it!
今回の旅の目的は他にあったのですが、ネットを見ているうちに、どうしてもイルカや海亀に会いたくなり、限られた時間でのオプション選びに迷いました。
シーライフパークは前に行ったことがあり、イルカとふれあい、遊べるアクティビティーというのでそれもいいかなとか、ダイビング経験があるので、ハワイの海でのスキューバダイビングにしようかとか・・・
ドルフィン&ユーに決めたのは、ホームページを見て、とてもエコロジーで人にも自然にも優しいツアーのように思えたからです。
大正解!!
一人参加がもったいないくらい。イルカにも出会えたし、海亀にも遭遇。そのときには気づかなかったけど、購入した体験DVDには最後の記念撮影の船の傍らにしっかり寄り添う海亀ちゃんを発見。持参したカメラには、同行のカメラマンやロコボーイが撮ってくれた、海亀の接写、水中での私の姿が人魚のように華麗に。
パレオをつけてフラも習い、おいしいバーガーもいただき、いうことなし。
一番の感激はスタッフ全員のの対応のよさと、思いやりです。
早朝の便だったので、時間も有効に使え、なにもかも大満足の一日でした。
旅の思いでが薄れるのに、いまだイルカ熱はさめません。絶対おすすめです!

This time, we participated as a family of four. We were able to see whales, and as the tour name suggests, we got to swim with dolphins. I was impressed by the staff's service, as they even caught a sea turtle and showed it to us up close. Their effort to make sure we had a good time was evident. My son was thrilled and excited. My wife and daughter suffered from seasickness, but it seems they still enjoyed the fun atmosphere. I want to thank everyone, including the captain. When I signed up, the cost felt a bit high, but after participating, I think it was reasonable for what we experienced.
今回は家族4人で参加しました。鯨も見れたし、ツァー名どおりイルカと泳ぐことができました。また、ウミガメを捕まえてすぐそばで見せてくれたりと、スタッフのサービスに感激しました。楽しんでもらおうとしている気持ちが伝わってきました。息子は感激して興奮していました。妻と娘は船酔いで悲惨でしたが、それでも楽しい雰囲気は充分味わえたようです。船長さんをはじめ、皆さんにお礼を言いたいです。費用は、申し込むときは少し高額な気がしましたが、参加してみると内容的には妥当であったと思います。

On December 12th, I participated with my husband and two daughters, making it a group of four. I apologize for the late posting. I got a bit delayed due to the year-end hustle and bustle...
On the day, the weather was cloudy and a little chilly, but we were able to see the dolphins perfectly. Swimming with the dolphins... my 8-year-old daughter kept saying, "Wow! I'm swimming with dolphins!!" while still wearing her snorkel. The dolphins seemed to enjoy our daughter's excitement, and we got to spend a lot of time with them. It was truly a fun and healing experience. During our stay in Hawaii, my daughters kept saying, "I want to see dolphins!" every day, and even after returning to Japan, my 17-year-old daughter said, "Swimming with dolphins was the most fun!" We definitely want to participate again on our next trip to Hawaii!! My husband, who is a surfer, was left behind at Makaha...
Lastly, I want to thank Yuriko, the captain, Peachan, Kai, Jasmine, Adam, and all the staff for their great care. Thank you very much!!
12月12日、主人と2人の娘と4人で参加しました。書き込み遅くなってすみません。年末のごたごたでついつい遅くなってしまいました・・・。
当日、お天気は曇りで少し肌寒かったのですがイルカちゃんにはバッチリ会うことが出来ました。イルカと一緒に泳いで・・・8歳になる下の娘なんかはシュノーケルをくわえたまんま「スゴーイ!イルカと泳いでる~!!」の連発。イルカに夢中の我が家の娘に合せてくれたのか、イルカとの時間をたくさん取ってもらえました。本当に楽しかったし、癒される体験でした。その後のハワイ滞在中も「イルカ行きたい!」と毎日言われ、日本に帰ってからも「イルカが一番楽しかった!」と、17歳の上の娘も言っています。次回のハワイも是非参加させていただきます!!サーファーの主人はマカハに置き去りにして・・・。
最後になりましたが、ユリ子さん、キャプテン、ピーチャン、カイ、ジャスミン、アダム、スタッフの皆さん大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました!!
