Since they are wild dolphins, I hoped to see them, but I thought I shouldn't get my hopes up too much. However, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins!
I spent too much time with the dolphins, and unfortunately, I couldn't do the paddle surfing I was looking forward to. I chose this place instead of a middle school for marine sports...
野生のイルカなので、観れるといいなー、でも期待しすぎ無いようにしないとなー、と思ってましたが、イルカの群れに会えました!
イルカの方に時間を費やしすぎて、楽しみにしていたパドルサーフィンができなかったのが残念でした。
マリンスポーツをするためにいるか中学ではなくこちらにしたので。。

I enrolled the day after arriving in Hawaii. The pickup for enrollment was at 6:10 AM. We had orientation on the bus. Thanks to the staff, I was sleepy at this point but gradually got more excited. In the first hour, I got to meet several dolphin professors, and then we changed locations to meet a large number of faculty members. I was very satisfied to see the dolphin professors perform their spins. In the second hour, at first, the turtle professor was in a bad mood and we couldn't meet him. Just when I thought he finally showed up, he appeared right in front of me. By this time, I was quite tired, and keeping up with the classes at my age was a bit challenging... The staff noticed I was tired and handed me a buoy, which was a great help. In gym class, there were some waves, and I tried stand-up paddleboarding but couldn't stand up well, so I got back on the boat early and went for lunch. After that, I had a really fun time with hula, and I graduated safely. Thank you to all the staff, dolphin, and turtle professors.
ハワイに着いた翌日に入学しました。入学は早朝6時10分にピックアップ。
バスの中でのオリエンテーション。スタッフのおかげで、この時点で眠いけど徐々にテンション上がる。一時間目のイルカ教授の時間は一度目は数等のイルカ教授に会うことができ、もう一度場所を変え、今度は、大量の教授陣。イルカ教授のスピンを見ることができ大満足。二時間目は最初、亀教授はご機嫌斜めでなかなか会えず。やっと登場したと思ったらなんと目の前に。このあたりでかなり疲れ、還暦にはちょっと授業についていくのが・・・スタッフが疲れたのを察知し浮きを渡してくれ、助かりました。体育の授業は少し波が有りスタンドアップパドルに挑戦しましたがなかなか立てず、早々にボートにあがり、給食に。そのあとフラと本当に楽しく、そして無事、卒業。スタッフの皆さん、イルカ、亀教授ありがとう。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and the crew's performance was amazing! Occasionally, it turns into a club on the boat, haha. It seems that some people experienced seasickness, so let's make sure to take proper precautions before going! I've heard there are seasickness bands available now!

I was nervous during my first snorkeling experience, but I was able to see dolphins perfectly! I encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and I was truly moved when a baby dolphin jumped. When I entered the water, I could see many dolphins swimming below me. They came so close that I felt like I could almost touch them (though you're not supposed to). However, keeping up with the guide was quite a challenge (laughs). It requires quite a bit of stamina. After the dolphins, we enjoyed touch-up paddling, kayaking, and snorkeling around the rocks. The snacks and cheeseburgers we had when we got hungry were delicious! On the way back, we all danced the hula happily before disembarking! The half-day was so much fun that I didn't feel any seasickness at all. I fell asleep on the bus ride back, and we were dropped off in front of the hotel in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! By the way, I purchased some photos. They are a bit pricey, but they make for wonderful memories, so I think it's a good idea to actively engage with the photographer!
初めてのシュノーケリングで緊張しましたが、ばっちりイルカに会うことができました!
イルカの群れには何度も会うことが出来、赤ちゃんイルカがジャンプした時は本当に感動しました♡
海に入ったら自分の下をたくさんイルカが泳ぐ姿が見えます。
本当に近いところまで行けて、あと少しで触れるんじゃないかと思うほど(触ってはいけませんが)
ですがガイドさんについて行くのはなかなか必死でした(笑)
結構体力が必要です。
イルカの後はタッチアップパドルやカヤック、岩場でシュノーケリングも楽しめます(*^o^*)
お腹が空いた頃に頂けるスナックやチーズバーガーも美味しかったです★
帰りは楽しくフラをみんなで踊って下船しました!
半日楽しすぎて全く船酔いする気配はありませんでした。
帰りのバスは爆睡、お昼過ぎにホテル前で降ろされて、まだ十分観光ができました♡
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したいと思います!
ちなみに写真を購入しました。

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.
太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。
Thank you for participating. We apologize for not being able to meet your expectations. Since these are wild animals, there are times when we can snorkel with dolphins and turtles in the same location, and other times when they are in different places. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We will share your feedback with all our staff. Thank you for your comments.

He was visiting Hawaii for the second time, while it was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling as well. I was excited but also anxious, worried about seasickness, but the crew really lifted my spirits and my worries disappeared!

I also got to ride a kayak and took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories. I want to meet the dolphins again when I come back to Hawaii!

We participated as a family of five: two adults and three children, including an infant. My wife and the infant stayed on the boat to watch while the rest of us went into the sea. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. We participated on July 26.
It took about 20 minutes by car from Aulani to the port.
There were no changing rooms at the port, just a dirty public restroom. I was glad we wore our swimsuits beforehand.
There were about 30 participants, all Japanese. The staff included a Japanese host, while the others were locals. The boat felt quite old.
Once we left the port and headed out to sea, we started to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which really got us excited.
The boat continued to the point where the dolphins were. I learned that the way to see the dolphins was to first spot them from the boat, then maneuver the boat ahead of where the dolphins were swimming. When the captain shouted "GO! GO! GO!", everyone quickly jumped into the sea to see the dolphins swimming.
While I was okay with it, my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter could only swim about 10 meters, so jumping into the sea from the boat was quite scary for them. I had to more or less push them in, and honestly, it seemed very frightening for them.
Additionally, during our first encounter with the dolphins, my daughter needed to use the restroom, which caused us to miss the timing to jump in. It’s better to take care of that beforehand.
Fortunately, we were able to jump in during the second dolphin encounter and saw dolphins swimming underwater, but it seemed that some other participants missed out.
After that, we had cheeseburgers on the boat for a break and headed to the sea turtle encounter point. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles, but we had a lot of fun kayaking together with the kids.
Finally, we all danced a Hawaiian dance on the boat before returning to the port.
It was quite hard both mentally and physically, but we were able to see dolphins, and the kids said they had a great time. I think it was a wonderful experience. At the end, the kids received small dolphin plush toys as gifts, and they were really happy about that.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
妻と乳児は海には入らず船の上で見学。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/26。
アウラニから港までは車で20分程度でした。
港には更衣室等はなく、汚い公衆トイレがあるだけ。事前に水着を着用しておいてよかったです。
参加者は30名くらいで全員日本人でした。スタッフは司会進行(?)の方が日本人で、他は現地の方。船はわりと古い感じ。
港を出て沖に出ると、野生のイルカやウミガメがちらほら見えてきて、気分が盛り上がってきます。
そのまま船は進んでイルカがいるポイントへ。
その時知りましたが、イルカを見る方法というのは、
まず船の上からイルカを目視で見つけて、
イルカが泳ぐ先へ船で先回りし、
船長が「GO!GO!GO!」と叫んだら
みんなで大急ぎで海に飛び込み、
イルカが泳ぐ姿を見る、
というものでした。
自分はいいとして、9歳の息子と7歳の娘はまだ10mくらいしか泳げないので、船の上から海に飛び込む、というのはかなり怖かったと思います。半分放り込むような形で飛び込ませたのですが、正直かなり怖かったみたいです。
あと娘が1回目のイルカ遭遇時、大きい方を催してトイレに行き、そのせいで飛び込むタイミングを逸してしまいました。トイレは事前に済ませておいたほうがいいです。
幸い我々は2回目のイルカ遭遇時に飛び込んで、海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができましたが、他の参加者さんは見られなかった人もいたようです。
その後船上でチーズバーガーを食べて休憩し、ウミガメ遭遇ポイントへ。
残念ながらウミガメはいませんでしたが、子供たちと一緒にダブルカヤックでたのしくあそばせてもらいました。
最後に船上でみんなでハワイアンダンスを踊って港に戻りました。
精神的にも肉体的にもけっこうハードでしたが、イルカに会うことができて、子供たちはすごく楽しかったと言ってました。いい経験になったと思います。
最後に子供たちへのプレゼントで小さいイルカのぬいぐるみをもらってましたが、それもすごく喜んでました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

I got stuck in an unbelievable traffic jam on the way, spending several hours on the bus. However! The hospitality of our guide, who was determined to entertain us, was amazing!! They talked non-stop, and all their stories were incredibly interesting!! Normally, traffic jams are just exhausting, but I didn't get bored at all; instead, it turned into a great time where I could hear various stories.
That said, when I looked out at the sea from the long bus ride, I happened to see a whale spouting! What a lucky surprise!
On the boat, there was a wild singer who usually performs at luxury hotels, and a cute lady, around elementary school age, who was there just for this spring break, showing us adorable hula dances (her mother is a hula dancer, by the way!). It was a lot of fun! For lunch, the lady even drew a face with ketchup on my hamburger^^
Also, from what I could see, there was a handsome guy on board who seemed to be the best-looking in Hawaii, and a mermaid female photographer was accompanying us. The staff was so diverse, and I really enjoyed it!!
The highlight was the dolphin-calling "Mamma"! There's a superstition that if she boards, you'll get to see dolphins, and sure enough, within just 10 minutes of departure, we hit a pod of dolphins!! We quickly changed and jumped into the sea! The friendly group of dolphins played with the dead branches on the ocean floor, showing us their antics over and over again.
The dolphins we encountered were a type called spinner dolphins, which aren't found in Japan, and they even did spin jumps right in front of us! I was so moved by their acrobatics, it was like a dolphin show! I will never forget that sight, and I remember it every time I visit an aquarium!
When I looked up, I saw many dorsal fins jumping, and when I looked down into the water, I could hear the playful sounds of the dolphins. It was the best experience!
Even after we got out of the water, a pod of dozens of dolphins swam around the boat continuously.
It was such a great tour that I recommended it to my friends after returning home^^
Thank you so much, guide Su-san! I will definitely rely on you again when I go back to Hawaii✨
行きが信じられないほどの渋滞にはまり、数時間バスに籠りきりになってしまいました。
しかし!とにかくガイドの方の「楽しませよう!」というホスピタリティがすごかった!!
ずーっと休むことなく喋ってくださり、またそのお話がどれもとっても面白かったです!!
普通はしんどいだけの渋滞ですが、
飽きることはもちろんなく、むしろ色々なお話が聞けてよかったと思う時間になりました。
とはいえ長旅だったバスの中から海を見やると、
たまたまですが潮を吹くクジラが見えました!ラッキー!
船上では、普段ラグジュアリーホテルで演奏しているというワイルドな歌い手さんと、
春休みのためこの時期だけいるという小学生くらいのCuteなLadyが
とっても可愛いフラダンスを見せてくれ(お母様がフラダンサーなのだそう!)
大いに盛り上がりました!
ランチのハンバーガーはLadyがケチャップで顔を描いてくれましたよ^^
また、私が見る限りハワイ随一のイケメンさんが乗船していたり、
マーメイドの女性カメラマンが同行していたり、
とにかくスタッフさんがバラエティに富んでいて、とっても楽しめました!!
極め付けはイルカを呼ぶマンマ!
この方が乗ってくれるとイルカに会えるというジンクスがあるそうなのですが、
出港なんと10分足らずでイルカの群れにヒット!!
急いで着替えて海にドボン!
とっても人懐こい群れで、海底の枯れ枝を手や口に引っ掛けて遊んでいる様を
何度も何度も私たちに見せてくれました。
会えたのは日本にはいないスピナードルフィンという種類のイルカなのだそうですが、
目の前でスピンジャンプまでしてくれました!
イルカショー並みの回転に感動〜!
あの光景は忘れませんし、水族館に行くたび思い出します!
顔を上げればたくさんの背びれにジャンプ、
水中に顔を下げれば遊び、鳴いているイルカの声。
最高でした!
海から上がった後もずっと数十頭の群れが、船の周りをぐるぐる泳いでくれていましたよ。
とっても良いツアーだったので、
帰国してから友人にもオススメしました^^
ガイドのすーさん、本当に本当にありがとうございました!!!

I participated at the beginning of July! The sea was clear that day, and I was overwhelmed with joy as I encountered dolphins multiple times! The Hawaiian staff were friendly, and I had a great time.
However, one thing I was dissatisfied with was the photos. There was a dedicated photographer on the boat who took most of the pictures (since we had to store valuables below deck to avoid getting them wet). Because of that, we didn't take any photos ourselves, thinking we could purchase them later. However, just before the tour ended... all the photos were bundled together for a total of $65! What?! That's way too expensive!!! It's almost half the cost of the tour. Most of the photos were probably unnecessary, and I couldn't justify spending that much (although quite a few people did buy them). It felt like a rip-off, and that was really disappointing since I ended up with almost no photos. If it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.
7月頭に参加しました!
海がその日は澄んでいて、しかもイルカにも何度も巡り会えて感無量でした!ハワイアンのスタッフの方も気さくで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、一つ不満だったのが写真です。船の上では専属のカメラマンがいて、ほとんどの写真をカメラマンが収めてくれます(船の上では濡れるといけないのでデッキの下に貴重品等はしまいます)。そのため、自分たちで全然写真を撮っていなかったし、
あとで購入できるから…とばかり思っていました。しかし、ツアー終了間際…写真は全てセットになっていて全部で65ドル、
、!??高すぎ!!!ツアー代金の半額近いですよね。きっと不要な写真がほとんどなのに、そんな金額掛けられませんでした(結構買ってる方いらっしゃいましたが)。ぼったくり感満載で、それだけが残念でした、手元に残った写真ほぼなしですからね。それさえなければ星5個でした。

It's featured in various information magazines, so I thought, "Well, the big companies must be paying for ads, so it probably isn't that great," but I was wrong! The staff is fun, and seeing sea turtles in the ocean is something you only get to do once in a lifetime, so definitely sign up!!! Plus, there are wild rays too. By the way, since there are a lot of women, it might be a good idea to go just with the guys as well ♡

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning.

野生の生き物なので、100%会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に3回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。

The one reaching for the turtle is my son! It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!

We gathered early in the morning while it was still dark. On the ship, the handsome crew entertained us with dancing and singing, but despite going without breakfast, we only received a single hamburger for lunch. There were no fruits as mentioned in the itinerary either. In the end, there was no hula lesson after disembarking, and we were simply taken back and dismissed. There was no information provided about the absence of the hula lesson. We returned to the hotel by noon. I felt it was disappointing that, despite paying a high price to participate, the planned itinerary was not followed.
早朝暗いうちから集合。
船ではイケメンのクルーたちが踊ったり歌ったりして楽しませてくれますが、朝から何も食べずに行ったのに、ランチという名のハンバーガー一個だけ。
行程表に書いてあったフルーツもなし。
しまいには下船後のフラレッスンさえもなく普通に送迎されて解散でした。
フラレッスンがないというインフォメーションもなし。
12時にはホテルに帰ってきました。
高いお金を払って参加したのに、予定の行程をこなさないのはどうかと思いました。

I was very satisfied to be able to see wild dolphins and turtles at the same time. The hamburgers served on the boat were also very delicious. The staff were cheerful and made it a fun experience. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

I am 58 years old, but Julie kindly taught me how to use the snorkel and tips on how to get close to the dolphins, so I was able to meet the dolphins and the sea turtle professor without any issues. The person who took our photos was also very kind and attentive to everyone, which made it easy to relax and enjoy myself. I'm really glad I participated.
58才の私でしたが、ジュリさんが、シュノーケルの使い方や、イルカ先生と近づけるコツを、丁寧に教えてくれたので、全然うまくイルカ先生やウミガメ大教授に会えました。写真を撮ってくれた人も、親切で、全員に気配りしてくれて、安心して楽しみ過ぎちゃいました。参加してよかったです。

We participated as a family of four with a three-year-old and a five-year-old kindergarteners. I felt reassured to sign up because I read in reviews that it’s fine for small children.
Everyone was excited and looking forward to the departure and arrival at the point. Although there were floating devices, for the little ones with zero swimming experience, there was quite a bit of resistance to entering the sea! As a result, our speed slowed down significantly, and we couldn't catch up with the larger group.
In the end, Dad and the kids gave up and returned to the boat first, while Mom managed to see the dolphins playing for just a moment.
The hamburger for lunch was delicious!
三歳と五歳の幼稚園生を連れて家族4人の参加でした。
口コミで小さい子でも大丈夫ですよって書いてあるため、安心して申し込みました。
出発、ポイント到着までは、皆期待しながら、ワクワクしていました。
浮く道具はあったものの、水泳経験0のちびっ子にとっては、海に入るのがなかなか抵抗があった!お陰で進むスピードがかなり落ちていて、大部隊になかなか追いつけられませんでした。
結局、パパと子供達は諦めて、先に船に戻って、ママ一人何とかイルカ群が遊んでいる姿を一瞬だけと、みることができました。
昼食のハンバーガーはおいしいかった!

I encountered a pod of dolphins twice!
Unfortunately, they didn't play with us... But I guess just being able to see them was lucky. I really wanted to dive down to the dolphins without a life jacket!
At first, my wife was hesitant to go into the ocean, but once she got in and saw the dolphins and sea turtles, she was thrilled! However, while watching the turtles, she got seasick and had to throw up... (laughs)
Even with a green face, she was excited. As for me, even though I'm over sixty, I successfully graduated from Dolphin Middle School!
The guide was a lively woman, which was great!
I have one complaint. There was no mention that reconfirmation was necessary, but there was a message at the hotel, so I called the contact number, but they said it wasn't in use... I wish the information was updated accurately.
イルカの群れには2回遭遇!
残念ながら、一緒に遊んではもらえなかったけど・・・。
まあ、遭遇できただけでもラッキーなのかな・・・。
できればライフジャケットなしで、イルカのところまで
潜りたかった!
最初、妻は沖の海に入るのが怖いとしり込みしていたが、
いざ入ってイルカやウミガメを見たら大感激!!
ただ、カメを見ているうちに波酔いして、撒き餌・・・。(笑い
青い顔しながらも感激していた。
私自身、還暦過ぎだけど私立イルカ中学を無事卒業!!
ガイドも元気な女性でよかったよ!!
一つだけクレーム。

Reservation number #2194069. In the response on March 22, the campaign discount was -$43.04, and the billed amount was $462.98 (57,015 yen), but this month's card charge was 64,970 yen. The fun memories are turning blue. I am waiting for a satisfactory answer after investigation.
予約番号#2194069 3月22日の返信では、キャンペーン割引が -43,04$の請求額は462.98$ 57,015円でしたが 今月のカード請求は64,970円となっていました。楽しかった思い出もブルーになります。調べて納得出来る回答を 待っています。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
Regarding the billing amount, it seems there has been some confusion, so I would like to explain.
The amount billed to you, ¥64,970, is for your participation in the prestigious Dolphin University. Prior to that, you had applied for Dolphin Private Junior High School, but it was fully booked, and the fee for that was ¥57,015. We also contacted you via email on May 14, so I would appreciate it if you could check that as well.

I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and various fish. I was able to swim much closer than I imagined, so I was very satisfied. The boat ride was a bit long, so it's better to have motion sickness medication. There were quite a few people feeling unwell.
イルカだけでなくウミガメや様々な魚とも泳げました。
想像以上に近いところを泳げたので、
大満足です。船の乗船時間が少し長いので酔い止めはあったほうがいいです。ダウンしてる人がけっこういました。

We participated with our family of four (grades 4 and 2) during Golden Week. I had a lot of worries, like waking up early, whether we would get seasick, and if we would really see dolphins, but I gradually relaxed thanks to the guide's high energy. (I didn't feel seasick at all.)
We saw dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly moving. I wanted to swim with them forever. We also encountered turtles and fish. The kids were able to swim with the crew members and had a great time. Even after returning to Japan, we are still excited looking at the photos we purchased.
The experience was definitely worth the price. I would love to participate again on our next trip to Hawaii.
GWに 家族四人(小4、小2)で参加しました。
朝も早いし 船酔いしないか 本当にイルカに会えるのかとか、不安がたくさんでしたが、ガイドさんのハイテンションにつられ、だんだんリラックスできました。(船酔いも全くなかった)
イルカには 出港後 すぐに会えました。もう、本当に感動でした。ずっと泳いでいたかったです。
カメやお魚も会えました。子供たちも クルーの方に付き添って泳いでもらえ 充分楽しめましたし、日本に帰ってからも 購入した写真を見て 興奮してます。
価格なりの価値は充分ありました。次回のハワイでも 是非参加したいと思ってます。

I was able to see dolphins much closer than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I enjoyed the other activities as well. I think it was a well-organized program, and the guide was very skilled. However, if I go again, I might choose the dolphin school because I would like more time with the dolphins. You can purchase photos, but at $60 for a photo where I'm not really in it, I think I might skip it next time. This time, I'm satisfied with the photos of the dolphins I saw.
想像していたよりずっと近くでイルカを見ることができ、大満足です。
残念ながら海亀を見ることはできませんでしたが、その他のアクティビティも楽しめました。
よく出来たプログラムだと思います。ガイドさんもとても上手でした。
ただ、次回行くことがあれば、イルカの時間がもっと欲しいので、イルカ中学の方にしようかなと思います。
写真を購入できますが、あまり自分が写っていないのに60ドルと言うなかなかのお値段なので、次は買わなくても良いかなと思います。今回は自分が見たイルカの写真と言うことで納得していますが。
