We participated in this activity because we wanted to see dolphins as a couple in our 50s. We were anxious about whether we would be able to see them, but we were moved to see dolphins swimming multiple times. Thanks to the staff who supported us.
Seeing sea turtles and enjoying delicious hamburgers along with the hula dance was also fantastic. It was a bit cold since it was early in the morning, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. There was a little time between getting off the boat and boarding the bus, so it might have been better to change into dry clothes.
We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii.
50代の夫婦でイルカが見たく参加しました。見る事が出来るか不安でしたが、何回もイルカの泳ぐ姿を見れ感動。スタッフさんがフォローして下さったお陰です。
ウミガメを見たり美味しいハンバーガーにフラダンスも最高でした。朝一だったためか寒く、ウェットスーツを借りてよかったです。船を降りてからバスに乗るまで少し時間があるので乾いた服に着替えたらよかったかなもです。
ハワイを満喫できました。

We decided to travel a lot as a family while my father, who is 70 years old, is still able to move around. We have been gathering with relatives once a month for planning for about a year now. I have always loved diving and have encouraged those around me to try it, but it seems there is a scary image associated with it, as everyone in my family except for me was quite hesitant about the dolphin school this time. However, thanks to the warm support and encouragement from the kind and cheerful staff, their anxious expressions disappeared. When the tour ended and we returned to the port, my father exclaimed, "The dolphin tour was the best!!" Normally, he doesn't joke around much, but during the tour, he was completely absorbed in enjoying the interactions with the sea and the staff, smiling the whole time! He was also earnestly dancing the hula on the boat, and I was very happy to capture those moments on camera. When I asked my 10-year-old niece what her best memory was after returning home, she immediately replied, "The dolphin school!!" My dream also came true, and I was really glad to see so many smiles from my family. The snorkeling gear and suits were in great condition, and the spam onigiri was delicious! I will definitely come back to enroll again.
父 70歳、身体が動くうちに家族でたくさん旅をしようと決めた旅行。
約一年前から親族で月1で集まりプランニングをしてきました。
わたしは元々ダイビングが好きで、周りにもすすめてきましたが、怖いというイメージがあるみたいで、今回のイルカ中学入校も私以外の家族は皆さんざん悩んでいました。
けれど、優しく明るいスタッフさんたちの手厚いフォローや声かけに、不安な表情も消え、
ツアーが終わって港に戻ると「イルカツアーが一番よかった!!」と父。
普段はおちゃらけることもあまりない父ですが、ツアー中は夢中になって海とスタッフさんたちとのやりとりを楽しみ、終始笑顔!
船上でのフラも一生懸命に踊っていて、撮影しながらとても嬉しかったです。
10歳の姪は帰国後、一番の想い出は?と問うと「イルカ中学!!」と即答。
私の夢も叶い、家族の笑顔がたくさん見ることができて、本当に参加してよかったです。
シュノーケルやスーツも美品でしたし、
スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです!
また入校しに行かせていただきます。

On this day, the visibility underwater was poor, and the dolphins didn't come close at all.
I could only see them from a distance, and no matter how much I swam, they just kept swimming away.
In the end, the guide made some excuses...
I understand it's nature and animals we're dealing with, but I felt a bit disappointed.
At least we got to ride the slide and kayak at the end, so my son's mood improved a little.
この日は水中の透明度も悪く、イルカも全然近くに寄ってきませんでした。
別のツアーの方や遠くに見えた程度で、
泳いでも、泳いでも逃げていくばかり、
最後にはガイドさんの言い訳が・・・
自然・動物相手なので仕方がないと思いますが少しがっかりな感じでした。
最後に滑り台とカヤックに乗せて頂いたので、息子の機嫌もすこしましになったかな。

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The tour guide's high energy really lifted our spirits. I joined with my kindergarten-aged child, and it seemed quite scary for them. However, thanks to the encouragement from the staff and other participants, we were able to greet the dolphins and turtles. My child is learning to swim, so they can swim, but they had no experience swimming in the ocean and were scared of the goggles and snorkel. If possible, it would have been good to purchase them and practice at the hotel pool. The sight of the dolphins swimming was graceful and incredibly moving. More than that, it was wonderful to see the island surrounded by nature from the sea. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイで参加させていただきました。添乗員さんのハイテンションで気分は盛り上がりました。幼稚園の子供と参加しましたが、相当怖かったようです。しかし、スタッフの皆さんや参加者の皆さんからの声かけがあり、イルカとカメに挨拶することができました。水泳を習っているので泳げないことはないのですが、海で泳ぐ経験が無く、ゴーグルとシュノーケルにも慣れていくて怖かったようです。可能であれば購入して、ホテルのプールででも連取すれば良かったです。イルカの泳ぐ姿は優美でなんとも言えない感動です。それよりも、自然に囲まれた島を海からみることができたのが良かったです。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up from the hotel before 7 AM.
On the bus, the staff provided explanations, so we didn't get bored on the way to the location.
Within 30 minutes of getting on the boat, the dolphin search began!
We quickly spotted dolphins!!
We entered the water and saw the dolphins from underwater. It was so beautiful and moving.
Seeing them from the boat is completely different...
It's more about watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.
I took some photos, but since the dolphins move and I was also moving with the waves, I couldn't get any nice shots.
Seeing them with my own eyes was much more beautiful than in photos.
I wish I could have watched the dolphins for a bit longer.
I want to join this tour again to see the dolphins!
朝は7時前にホテルにお迎えでした。
バスの中ではスタッフの方が説明したりで退屈せずに現地まで・・
船に乗って30分もしないうちにイルカ探しがスタート!
すぐにイルカ発見!!
海に入りイルカを水中から見ました♡
凄く綺麗で感動です(´⊙ω⊙`)
船の上から見るのとでは全く違って・・
一緒に泳ぐと言うよりは水中で泳いでるイルカを見る!って感じかな。
写真を撮ったのですがイルカも動くし自分も波で動くので綺麗には写真が撮れなかった(>人<;)
写真で見るより肉眼で見た方が凄く綺麗www
もう少し長い時間、イルカを見てたかったです。
またイルカを見にこのツアーに参加したいです♡

Thanks to the energetic guide and photographer, I had a great time. I was really glad to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. The sea is really cold at this time of year, so the wetsuit rental costs $10 per person, but it's definitely worth it. In fact, almost everyone rented one. Even with the wetsuit on, I felt cold when I got out of the water.
I gave up on marine sports because it was too cold to feel like going into the water.
It seems the grill for cooking the hamburger patties was broken, so I couldn't eat the hamburgers cooked by the captain, but I was able to enjoy delicious hamburgers from a hamburger shop on the bus ride back.
Honestly, I felt that the final hula dance was unnecessary.
元気なガイドさんとカメラマンさんのおかげで楽しめました。
イルカとウミガメを目の前で見ることができてよかったと思います。
この時期の海は本当に寒いのでウェットスーツは1人10ドルかかりますが、絶対借りた方が良いです。
実際にほぼ全員がレンタルしていました。
ウェットスーツを着ていても海から上がると寒かったくらいです。
マリンスポーツは、寒くて海に入る気がおきず、諦めました。
ハンバーガーの肉を焼くグリルが故障してしまったらしく、船長が焼くハンバーガーを食べることはできませんでしたが、帰りのバスでハンバーガーショップの美味しいハンバーガーをいただくことができました。
ただ正直最期のフラダンスはいらなかったかなぁという感じです。

I was so moved to meet dolphins and sea turtles up close! I didn't expect to see so many dolphins. I was completely satisfied spending time surrounded by so many dolphins in the clear, beautiful sea. The instructor was kind and funny, making it the best time ever.
If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.
When I go to Hawaii again, I want to use the scholarship program and enroll again! I look forward to it!
凄い近くでイルカや海亀に会えて感動しました!こんなに多くのイルカに会えるとは思っていませんでした。透き通った綺麗な海で、いっぱいのイルカにずっと囲まれて過ごせて大満足です。インストラクターの方も優しく面白く最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。

We participated as a family, and it was fine even with kids! As soon as we got on the boat, we saw the dorsal fins of dolphins swimming, which really got us excited! When we jumped into the sea, we could hear the dolphins' ultrasonic sounds underwater! There were so many dolphins swimming around us, and they were so cute!
I was worried about having kids with us, but the staff took my child and said, "Look, Mom!" so I was able to see them safely. My older child was able to see them, but my younger child was crying because the life jacket was floating oddly, and just when they were getting used to the snorkel, the dolphins swam away, so it was disappointing not to see them underwater.
I thought we would see sea turtles afterward, but the sea was rough, and we were told it was closed, so we went to another spot, but we couldn't see any fish or turtles there, which was very disappointing.
I’m curious if there’s a guarantee for not seeing turtles since there is one for not seeing dolphins. Although we didn’t see the turtles, I think we were very lucky to have so many dolphins swimming so close to us, as there are days when they swim away quickly.
I read in reviews that everyone should take motion sickness medication, and there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it’s better to take it beforehand.
家族で参加しました。子供連れでも大丈夫でした!船に乗ってからすぐにイルカが泳いでいる背ビレが見えてテンションあがりました!
海にジャンプして入ると水中でイルカの超音波の音が聞こえました!
たくさんのイルカが回りをぐるぐる回って泳いでくれてとても可愛かったです!
子供連れで心配でしたが、スタッフの方がママ見てきて!と子供を連れて泳いでくれて無事に見ることが出来ました!上の子は見れましたが、下の子はライフジャケットが変に浮いて泣いてしまい、やっとシュノーケルに慣れてきたところでイルカは行ってしまい水中で見ることが出来ず残念でした。
その後海ガメが見れると思っていたら海が荒れてて閉鎖して行けないとの事で別のスポットに行きましたが魚も亀も見れず、そこはとても残念でした(;_;)
イルカが見れなかった時の保証はあるけど、亀が見れなかった時の保証はあるのか気になってます。
亀は見れなかったけどイルカはすぐに行ってしまう日もあるとのことで、沢山のイルカがこんなにも近くで泳いでくれてとてもラッキーだったとは思います。
口コミで見て酔い止めを全員飲んでいきました。酔っている方が結構居たので、酔い止めは飲んでいった方がいいと思います。

It was just my husband and me participating on our honeymoon! On that day, the high waves made the boat rock quite a bit, and I ended up feeling pretty seasick, but my husband seemed fine! It was both of our first time snorkeling, but the clear explanations and high energy made us excited from the start!
Even with the high waves, there were plenty of dolphins! Unfortunately, we couldn't get too close, which was a bit disappointing...
Due to the high waves, it seemed that the usual snorkeling spot was closed, so we moved to a different location to start snorkeling!
There were no turtles or fish, and the waves were high, so I quickly got seasick and had to give up... I really wanted to see a sea turtle.
We were able to enjoy light snacks like spam rice balls, some snacks, and plenty of juice and water, which made dining in nature exceptional!
Even while I was feeling seasick, the staff would talk to us, which was reassuring. They said that on days when the milk is not visible, they keep looking for points where you can see dolphins until the end. Amazing!
I recommend bringing seasickness medication for those who are prone to it! It was a lot of fun!
ハネムーンで主人と私2人での参加でした!
この日は高波で船もグワングワン揺れて
私はかなり船酔いしてしまいましたが、
主人は大丈夫そうでした!
2人ともシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、
わかりやすい説明と高めのテンションで
最初からワクワクさせてくれるような感じ!
高波でもイルカはたくさんいました!
ただあまり近づくことはできずに、そこは残念、、、。
高波のため、いつものシュノーケリングポイントがクローズしていたみたいで場所を移動してシュノーケリング開始!
亀もサカナもいなくて
波が高かったのですぐ酔ってしまい断念、、、。海ガメ会いたかったです。
軽食のスパムおにぎりと
ちょっとしたスナック菓子、ジュースやお水もたくさんいただけて自然の中で食事ができるのは格別です!
船酔い中もスタッフさんが話しかけてくれるので安心です。
ミルクが見えない日には諦めずに最後までいるかが見えるポイントを探すそうです。素晴らしい!
酔いやすい方には酔い止めを持参していくのをお勧めします!

I was able to efficiently and quickly move to a location where dolphins are present and successfully encounter them. I thought I would be able to swim closer to them, but it was more of a distant viewing experience, which was different from swimming alongside them. Since they are wild dolphins, I believe there were considerations to avoid stressing them. It was different from my expectations. There were a few people on the boat who got seasick, but they handled that efficiently as well. Additionally, the background music, Hawaiian dancing, and the staff kept the atmosphere lively, which was enjoyable. If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be less enjoyable.
イルカがいる場所へ瞬時に移動して効率よく手際よくイルカに会えるようにして貰い、無事遭遇する事が出来ました。もっとそばで泳げると思っていたのですが、割と遠目で見る感じで共に泳ぐというのとは違ってました。野生のイルカなのでストレスを貯めないように配慮もあると思うのですが。イメージとは違ってました。船上では酔った人も数人いましたが、それも手際よく手当してました。またBGMやハワイアンの踊り、スタッフが道中盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。泳ぎが得意でないと楽しめないです。

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the experience, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see many dolphins! Additionally, there were baby dolphins due to the season. After dolphin watching, we also got to see sea turtles, and it was fun to dance the hula together at the end. It was truly a precious experience (^_^).
Also, for those who have underwater cameras like a GoPro, you can take them snorkeling. I regret not bringing mine because I wasn't sure if I could use it while swimming with the dolphins...
イルカと一緒に泳いでみたいとずっと思っていました。当日、天気にも恵まれ、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました!また、時期的に子イルカもいました。イルカウォッチングのあとはウミガメを見ることもでき、最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊ったのも楽しかったです。本当に貴重な体験ができました(^_^)
あと、goproなど水中カメラを持ってる人は、もってシュノーケリングできます。私はイルカのとき持って入っていいか分からず、持って行かなかったことが唯一の心残りです…

Swimming with dolphins was one of the things I wanted to do in my life. I finally got to see wild dolphins for the first time! They swam so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch them! I was able to see so many adorable dolphin behaviors, like a baby dolphin swimming with its mother, dolphins holding fins while swimming, and playing around on their backs! It was tough to wake up early, but it was truly moving. I was prepared for it to be difficult since it’s nature, but I encountered the best opportunity. Thank you, Dolphin Master and all the staff!!!

While I thought we would see wild dolphins right away, they are wild dolphins after all!

By the third time, I was able to put on my mask and fins quickly, and I jumped in without hesitation, thanks to the perfect training from the sports club☆
We also got really close to a sea turtle, and time flew by as we challenged ourselves with SPU.
The photographer was quite lively from early in the morning, but he took a lot of great photos!

There is no better way to experience Hawaii, than out on its beautiful, indescribable blue waters. After doing a bit of research, I knew I wanted to go snorkeling on the west side of the island. I also snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, but there is zero comparison. Two completely different experiences. Sailing out of the harbor, on the beautiful catamaran, with the wind in your hair, onto the sparkling water, a stunning, panoramic view of the majestic mountains behind you, with three fabulous hours of yet unknown adventures ahead of you---well, what more can you ask for? Our time on this tour was great. It went by entirely too fast. But every minute was wonderful. We saw more dolphins than we could count. Had great visibility while snorkeling. Saw many different types of fish and marine life. All under the skillful supervision of the awesome crew. Also, the boat was not overly crowded, which was terrific. Plenty of room to move about and to have a good seat. The food and drinks were perfect. I just wish it was twice as long. And honestly, next time we go back, I will probably go more than once. It's simply the best way to experience the magic of Hawaii. PS. I booked through Hawaii Activities.com and I believe the company name is also Hawaii Nautical. No matter which you book it, it's completely worth it!

It's early in the morning. Since a lot of people are participating, the boat is quite crowded... It feels more like chasing the dolphins rather than swimming with them, which is hard work, haha. I think you might be able to see sea turtles if you're lucky, but since so many people are participating, everyone gathers around the turtles, so unless you're a good swimmer, you won't be able to get close. Even though I didn't request it, they called my name and forced me to take pictures, and the photo purchase is expensive. I thought maybe I should have chosen a different tour!
朝早いです。大勢参加するため船はぎゅうぎゅうです…イルカと泳ぐというよりはイルカを追っかけてるって感じでハードです笑 ウミガメは運良ければ会えると思いますが大勢参加してるためみんなウミガメの周りに集まるので泳ぎうまい人じゃないと近くにみれません。。別に頼んでないのに強制的に名前呼ばれ写真撮らされ、写真購入は高額です。私は違うツアーの方が良かったのかもと思いました!

I had heard that I might not be able to see wild dolphins, but I was able to meet them!
And in a pod!!
It was even more moving than I had imagined!!
I plan to go to Hawaii again next year, and I definitely want to participate again.
野生のイルカで、見れないかもしれないと聞いていたのですが、会うことができました!
しかも群れで!!
想像していた以上に感動的でした!!
来年もハワイに行く予定にしましたが、また今度も是非参加したいと思っています。

First encounter with wild dolphins with my 5-year-old son.
I was worried since it was also his first experience with snorkeling, but he quickly got used to it and had a lot of fun.
The staff were very friendly and enjoyable, and by the end, he was completely a fan of the staff member (laughs).
Even after returning to Japan, he was super excited while sharing his impressions with his grandmother.
5歳の息子と野生のイルカとの初対面
シュノーケルも初体験だったので心配しましたが、すぐに慣れてとても楽しめました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで楽しい方達で、終盤にはすっかりスタッフのお姉さんのファンに(笑)
日本に帰ってからも祖母へ感想を話しながら大興奮でした。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Please come back and visit us again!

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!
During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.
Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.
I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.
The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.
I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!
出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。
みんなでちょっと急いで海に入ると、イルカたちが泳いでいるのが見えましたー(^^)
シュノーケリングではウミガメやたくさんの魚たちも見ることができました。
連絡はすべて日本語で大丈夫。
当日はモーニングコールもあり、本当に親切です。
なんといってもクルーの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで、ニコニコ。そして海ではしっかり安全を確認してくれています。
私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません! 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。
キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。
海も船もこわくなくなりました!
スタッフの皆様本当にありがとうございました。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
たくさんのみなさんに参加していただきたいツアーです!
海にも海の生き物にも人にも優しいドルフィン&ユー最高です(^^)
Thank you for your happy message. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I hope to see you again in Hawaii. We're looking forward to it.

I had never seen dolphins in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in this tour. We set off early in the morning, heading to the west coast of Oahu, a place I had never been before. The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful.
During the three snorkeling sessions, we tried to find a pod of dolphins in the first and second sessions, and we encountered dolphins in the first session. I was moved to see a pod of dolphins with a baby. In the second session, my husband and I missed the chance to see dolphins because we were late to jump into the water from the boat.
The third session was a visit to a sea turtle habitat. Because we knew the right spots, we quickly encountered three sea turtles. I had seen turtles before in Hanauma Bay and on sandbar tours, but I had never met such large turtles as these. It was fun to swim while being rocked by the waves.
Due to certain circumstances, there was no lunch on the boat, but since the boat was quite rocky, it was a good decision to eat after returning to the port. I think it's better for those who are worried about seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.
Although it was a short time, it was a fun tour where we also challenged ourselves to stand-up paddleboarding on the sea. Additionally, having a Japanese guide accompany us from the shuttle bus to the sea provided a sense of security. If I have the opportunity, I would like to enroll in the manta ray university on the Big Island.
ハワイでイルカを見た事が無かったので参加しました。
早朝から出発し、向かったのは今まで行ったことが無かったオワフ島の西海岸。
天気は曇りでしたが、海は綺麗でした。
計3回のシュノーケリングのうち1回目と2回目はイルカの群れを探してトライしますが、1回目でイルカに遭遇。
赤ちゃん連れのイルカの群れを見れて感動しました。
2回目は船から海に飛び込む順番が遅かったので、私たち夫婦はイルカを見る事が出来ませんでした。
3回目はウミガメの家を見学です。
ポイントを把握されてるせいで直ぐに3匹のウミガメに遭遇。
今までハナウマ湾やサンドバー・ツアーでカメを見た事はありましたが、ここほど大きなカメに出会った事はありませんでした。
一緒に波に揺られながら泳げて楽しかったです。
諸事情で船上ランチはありませんでしたが、船の揺れが多かったので、港に戻ってから食べて正解でした。
船酔いが心配な方は酔い止め薬を持参した方が良いと思います。
短い時間でしたが、海上でのSUPにもチャレンジしたり楽しいツアーでした。
また、日本人のガイドさんが送迎バスから海まで同行してるので安心感もありました。
機会があれば、ハワイ島のマンタ大学にも入学してみたいと思います。

It was a very memorable day. I was moved to swim in the large, beautiful ocean of Hawaii and encounter many dolphins and sea turtles. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii.
