イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

Incredible! 感動的!

Reviewed by: MarinaHaruna

I participated with my sister. The morning malasadas were delicious, and we encountered a lot of dolphins! It seems like we had the highest encounter rate recently, and we spotted several baby dolphins! No matter where we looked, there were dolphins, and when we put our ears in the water, we could hear their sounds—it was like a dream. There were also many large sea turtles, which was fun. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate! The staff were cheerful and it was enjoyable~!! Thank you! I'm so happy!

姉妹で参加しました。
朝のマラサダも美味しかったし、イルカにもたくさん出会えました♪ここ最近で1番の遭遇率だったみたいで赤ちゃんイルカも何匹も発見しました!左右下どこを見てもイルカがいて海の中に耳をつけると鳴き声が聞こえてきて夢のような時間でした。ウミガメも大きいのがたくさんいて楽しかったです。
またハワイへ行く機会があったら必ず参加したいです!
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で楽しかった~!!
ありがとうございました!幸せ!

I never expected to encounter dolphins so close while swimming in the sea. The excitement of seeing a pod of mother and baby dolphins underwater is unforgettable! I was also lucky to encounter a sea turtle. The staff were cheerful, kind, and attentive, which made me feel comfortable participating.

海に入って、こんなに近くでイルカに遭遇出来るとは思いませんでした。
親子のイルカの大群が海の下に見えたときの興奮は忘れられません!
ウミガメにも運良く遭遇出来て、ラッキーでした。

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, and as a bonus, I also saw a pair of spotted eagle rays, which is unique to Hawaii. It was a great experience. Thank you very much, and I plan to use your services again on my next trip to Hawaii.

イルカもウミガメもみれたし、おまけにスパイイーグル(黒に白い斑点模様のでかいエイ)のぺアーも見れました、ハワイならではですかね、いい体験ができました。ありがとうございました、次回渡ハワイの時もまた利用させてもらおうと思ってます。

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: RUNA

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!

The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!

The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!

ひとりでの参加。しかも、私だけ送迎なしで、ボートハーバーに直接車で行くと言うかなり、不安な参加でした。ツアー前日、ハーバーの詳細を確認の為、電話で確認していたら、初めて海外で運転している事や、第二便にキャンセルが出た事もあるので、第二便にしてゆっくり来てもいいですよと、前日にも関わらず、第一便から第二便に変更して下さいました!

ツアー自体も、他のツアーは途中まで日本人がいてもツアー自体は現地の人に丸投げだったりするのが、最後までイルカ大学の日本人スタッフが一緒にいてくれるので、本当に安心!

現地のスタッフ達も、超ノリノリ!
と〜っても楽しんじゃいました!

残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、イルカには会えました!
感動!

I had some anxiety about snorkeling, but they encouraged me to try multiple times until I could see the dolphins, which became a truly wonderful memory. During the tour, the program was engaging and not boring at all. Not only did we see the dolphins, but we also enjoyed malasadas and lunch, and while snorkeling at spots other than where the dolphins were, I was really moved by the many tropical fish and turtles I encountered!

シュノーケルに不安もありましたが、イルカが見れるまで何度もトライしてくれて、本当にいい思い出になりました。ツアーの最中、飽きさせないプログラムで、イルカだけでなく、マラサダやランチ食べたり、イルカ以外のスポットでのシュノーケルでは本当に沢山の熱帯魚、かめに出会えて感動でした!

Overall, it is geared towards young people, but I had a great time. 全体的に若い人向けですが楽しかったです

Reviewed by: namiko

I attended with my fiancé, who is in his 30s, as we are about to get married soon.

The voucher instructed us to call Dolphin University as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made the call. After being asked for our names, date, and where we made the reservation, we had to wait quite a while, which made me anxious about whether our reservation was actually confirmed.

However, we were indeed booked and were able to participate without any issues. Most of the participants seemed to be in their 20s. There was a lively announcement on the bus as well.

We were able to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. In particular, we got to see the turtles and tropical fish quite closely. I brought a waterproof camera, but when it came time to see the dolphins, I felt a bit uneasy and went into the water without it. In hindsight, I wish I had taken some photos.

We were able to meet the dolphins and turtles without much swimming, but I got tired from the marine sports and ended up just watching. Even just watching was enjoyable.

The photos taken by a professional photographer were sold on DVD and CD-ROM for about $60, which included everyone from the tour. I considered purchasing just the well-taken photos of us, but since the price was somewhat high and there were strangers in the pictures, I decided against it. It would have been nice if they offered individual photo sales.

It was a day with very little wind, and we were able to meet the dolphins close to the shore, but there were some people who got seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to prepare accordingly. Also, even on sunny days with strong sunlight, when you get back on the boat after being in the water, the wind can feel cold, so I think women should either rent a wetsuit ($10) or bring something to cover up.

もうすぐ結婚式を迎える彼(ともに30代)と二人で参加しました。

ハワイについてすぐ、イルカ大学に電話するようにとバウチャーに書いてあったので電話をしたのですが、名前・日付・どこで予約をしたのか等を聞かれたあとに結構待たされ、本当に予約できているのか不安になる電話対応でした…。

実際には予約できていて、きちんと参加できました。
参加者は20代が中心のようでした。
バスの中でも軽快な案内がありました。

イルカもカメも熱帯魚も見ることができました。
特にカメと熱帯魚は、かなり近くで見ることができました。
防水カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るときには多少の不安もあって持たずに海へ入りました。しかし、やっぱり撮影しておけば良かったかな。

イルカにもカメにも、あまり泳がずに会うことができましたが、マリンスポーツは疲れてしまい、見ているだけになってしまいました。
見ているだけでも楽しかったです。

プロのカメラマンが撮影した写真は、DVDとCD-ROMでの販売で、ツアーで一緒になった人全員分込みで60ドルだったかな…。
よく撮れた自分たちの写真だけ、とかなら購入を検討したのですが、お値段もそこそこするし、見ず知らずの人が写っていても…ということで購入しませんでした。
個別の写真販売があったら良いのになぁ。

風もほとんどなく、岸から近い場所ですぐにイルカと会えた日だったのですが船酔いしている人もいたので、酔い止めが必要な人は用意した方がよいかもしれません。
また、晴れて日差しが強い日でも、海から上がって船が動くと風が冷たく感じるので、女性はウェットスーツ(10ドル)を借りるか、羽織るものを持って行った方がよいと思います。

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: salejo

Mandy & Ali were great guides during the entire excursion. We arrived at our destination to pick our food options and grab our snorkeling gear. No restroom on the boat so please go before getting on the boat! You can bring your own drink & snack on the boat since lunch won't be til afterwards. We swam w/ spinner dolphins at our 1st spot. It was so amazing to see the baby dolphins! We explored the reef at our 2nd spot, which had so many different kinds of fishes. Ali swam to us w/ a starfish & other things for pictures & even explained to us what we were holding. After this, they took us out to see the spotted dolphins (Hawaiian name "kiko"). There were sooo many of them riding our waves, swimming under the boat, & flipping in the air. It was so amazing to watch. They explained they were hunting & they hardly see these dolphins. Afterwards, you go back to eat lunch then head back to your hotel. This was the highlight of my trip & I plan to do this again when I come back!

I enrolled in Dolphin University on August 29! The sky was clear and blue, the sea was a transparent emerald blue, and I was able to swim with dolphins and sea turtles along with many other participants from my group, ohana♪ It's only at Dolphin University that I could have such a fun time!! I'm also grateful to Shanti and the staff who guided us. This was an activity I would love to participate in again when I visit Hawaii☆

It's a shame that we ran out of time and had to cut back on some planned activities, but I will definitely try again!!

8/29に、私立イルカ大学に入学しました!
空は青く晴れ、海は透きとおるエメラルドブルー、一緒に参加した大勢のohanaと一緒にイルカやウミガメと泳ぐことができました♪
こんなに楽しい時間を過ごすことができるのは、イルカ大学だからこそ!!
引率してくれたシャンティと、スタッフたちにも感謝です。
ハワイを訪れた際には、また参加したいと思えるアクティビティでした☆

時間が押しちゃって、少し予定のアクティビティが削られちゃったのが残念でしたが、またリベンジします!!

This time, my 74-year-old mother joined us on the dolphin tour. At the snorkeling point, we were able to see sea turtles up close. There were also plenty of fish. There were two Japanese staff members on board who provided thorough explanations and kind assistance, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. On the way back to the port, we encountered dolphins! The dolphins chased the boat and seemed to be playing while swimming, which was very cute. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to join this tour again.

今回は74歳の母も一緒にイルカツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメをとても近くで見ることができました。さかなもいっぱいいました。スタッフも日本人の方が2名乗船しており、丁寧な説明と親切な対応をしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ランチもおいしかったです。帰港途中でイルカにも遭遇!イルカがボートを追いかけてきて、遊びながら泳いでいる様で、とてもかわいかったです。機会があれば、是非、また参加したいツアーです。

This was a wonderful experience. The driver Larry is amiable and knowledgable who provided all the information needed for the trip and he gave detailed description about the areas along the road. Crews on the boat are professional and helpful. They did an excelent job in making it an enjoyable trip on the sea.

Reviewed by: kei

During the bus ride, we talked about Hawaii, enjoyed hula dancing, singing, and had a great time beyond just swimming with dolphins. I was surprised by the high energy of the staff, but they were friendly and it was fun. I was worried about seasickness, but I took medication beforehand, so I was fine. (While waiting our turn to swim with the dolphins, there were already several other boats, and I felt a bit queasy during that time.) For snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, so we were able to see a lot of them.

バス移動もハワイの話をして頂いたり、フラダンス、歌、とイルカ以外にも楽しめました。スタッフの方はテンションが高く驚きましたが、フレンドリーで楽しかったです。
船酔いを心配しましたが、事前に薬を飲んだので大丈夫でした。
(イルカと泳ぐのに、他の船がすでに数隻いて順番を待ってる間が少し酔いそうでした)
シュノーケリングは魚のえさとして、パンをもらえたので沢山魚が見られました。

There were many young people, but I participated with my parents. (The only older participants were my parents.)
We were able to see dolphins, but they were swimming so fast and moving around that it felt like we only caught a glimpse of them. My parents couldn't keep up...

However, we were able to go snorkeling, and there was a lot to do, so it was good overall.
The staff were very energetic, and we had a great time. I think it would be worth participating at least once.

若い方が多かったのですが、両親と参加しました。(年配者は両親だけでした)
イルカは見られたのですが、イルカの泳ぎが早くてあちらこちらへ移動するのに忙しく、一瞬見られたかなという感じでした。

Wild dolphins & sea turtles!! 野生のイルカ&ウミガメ!!

Reviewed by: くろうま

At first, I was worried about the tour content being too much, but I participated anyway. The beautiful ocean views of West Oahu were great, but seeing wild dolphins in the water and then witnessing the swimming sea turtles was truly moving. It wasn't just a simple watching tour; it was really wonderful. I thought it was a fantastic tour with a lot of substance. (However, it seems that since they are wild animals, there may be times when you can't see them.) The staff were fun and attentive, and I'm really glad I participated. I want to go again.

はじめはツアー内容が多すぎて、どのような内容かと心配して参加しました。
素晴らしい西オアフの海の景色も良かったですが
野生のイルカを海の中で見れて、その後はウミガメの泳ぐ姿を
また海の中で見れたことがとても感動的でした。
ただのウオッチングツアーではなく、とても良かったです。

It became a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出になりました

Reviewed by: rik

I imagined that I would be able to swim close enough to touch the dolphins, but since they are truly wild dolphins, that wasn't the case. However, the joy I felt when I saw the dolphins in sight was immense.

The staff members were very cheerful, and I had a wonderful time. I'm glad I participated.

The rating of Good is likely because there was a baby dolphin in the pod, which meant they didn't come very close. (There's nothing that can be done about that.)

Overall, it was Great!!

想像してたのはイルカに触れるくらいの距離で泳げるのかと思っていたけど、本当の野生のイルカが相手なだけに、そんなわけはなかったけど、その分視界にイルカが見えた時の喜びはとても大きかったです。

スタッフの方々もとても陽気で楽しい時間をすごすことが出来ました。
参加してよかったです。

評価がGoodなのは、イルカの赤ちゃんが群れにいる為か、なかなか近くには来てくれなかったからです。(こればっかりはどうしようもないですね)

I had diving experience, so I was accustomed to snorkeling and enjoyed it. However, my companion was new to snorkeling and being in deep water, which caused a bit of panic, and they couldn't see the dolphins underwater as a result. That said, I was satisfied with the tour because we got to see the dolphins up close from the back of the boat when they swam alongside us.

ダイビング経験があったので、シュノーケルにも慣れていたので楽しめましたが、連れはシュノーケル&足が付かない海は初めてだったので、ややパニックになり、せっかくのイルカを海の中から見ることはできず。

I participated hoping to see wild dolphins, and on the day, I was able to encounter several dolphins, which was truly a wonderful experience! It's rare to see so many. I heard that on some days, they move around to different locations in search of dolphins. It was my first time snorkeling. The guide wasn't very thorough, so I was relieved that my friend who accompanied me taught me how to put on the gear and what to be careful of when jumping in.

I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.

I was dissatisfied with the service from the Japanese staff. 日本人スタッフの対応に不満

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Both Japanese and local staff assisted with the tour, but the Japanese staff had a bad attitude. Overall, the explanations were insufficient. They didn't properly show us how to wear the snorkeling masks or life jackets. When we reached the dolphin point, we were pushed from the boat into the sea, and some participants hesitated because they weren't mentally prepared. The Japanese staff spoke quite harshly to those individuals, saying, "These are wild dolphins, if you can't get in the sea quickly, stay on the boat!" If there had been prior explanations, those participants could have managed better, and it was very unpleasant to witness.

Later, at the snorkeling point, we ended up with the "Dolphin Junior High" boat from the same company, and since we entered the sea at the same time, participants were swimming quite close to each other. When it was time to get back on the boat, my husband accidentally went to the "Dolphin Junior High" boat. At that moment, the Japanese staff from "Dolphin Junior High" shouted to the university staff, "This is university!" Afterward, they looked shocked, but referring to a customer as "this" is unbelievable.

While we did achieve our goal of seeing dolphins, the bad attitude of the Japanese staff ruined the experience. Although we saw wild dolphins in the sea, if there are other tours with similar content, I would prefer to choose those. I will not be repeating this experience.

日本人スタッフと現地スタッフの両方がツアーで対応してくれますが、日本人スタッフの感じが悪かったです。
とにかく、全てにおいて説明が不十分。シュノーケリングマスクやライフジャケットの装着方法もきちんとしてもらえませんでした。イルカのポイントにつくと、背中を押されるようにボートから海へ足から飛び込むのですが、参加者の中には心の準備ができておらず一瞬躊躇してしまった方も。日本人スタッフはその方たちに対して、かなりきつい口調で『野生のイルカなんだから、さっさと海には入れなければボートに残って!』と言っていました。事前に説明があれば、その方たちだってそれなりに動けたはずなのに、と思うと見ていて非常に感じが悪かったです。
また、その後のシュノーケリングポイントで、同じ会社のスタッフが乗っている『イルカ中学』のボートと一緒になり、同時に海に入った為参加者がかなり近くで泳いでおり、ボートにあがる様指示された時、主人が誤って『イルカ中学』の方のボートに行ってしまいました。その際、あろうことか、『イルカ中学』の日本人スタッフが『大学』のスタッフに向かって『これ、大学!』と叫んだそうです。その後『あ、やばい!』という顔をしていたそうですが、お客を『これ』呼ばわりです。信じられません。
イルカを見るという目的は果たせましたが、とにかく日本人スタッフの感じが悪くて嫌な思いをさせられ、台無しです。
確かに海に入って野生のイルカは見られましたが、同様の内容のツアーが他にあればそちらにすればよかったです。 リピートはしません。

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: chieposo

I participated in a dolphin watching tour in Hawaii during my honeymoon. There were several options, but I'm really glad I chose this one! One of the deciding factors was being able to eat masalada. We saw plenty of dolphins, spotted a whale in the distance, and even saw a sea turtle. The weather was great, and I was very satisfied. The instructor was energetic and made it fun. I want to take my parents next time. It was early in the morning, but it was actually better since we could use the afternoon for other activities.

新婚旅行でのハワイで参加しました。
イルカを見るツアーはいくつかあり迷いましたがここに決めて本当によかった!
マサラダがたべれるのも決め手の一つでした。
イルカもたくさん見れたし、遠くにクジラもみれたし、ウミガメも見れました。
天気も良く大満足です。
インストラクターさんも元気がよく楽しかったです。
今度は両親も連れて行きたいです。
朝早いですが、午後からの時間を別のことに使えるのでむしろよかったです。

I want to get revenge! リベンジしたい!

Reviewed by: ともとも

Unfortunately, we had a sudden illness and had to turn back even though we had gone out to sea... I was really disappointed that we couldn't do the planned sea turtle watching due to the lack of time. Other than that, it was fun to swim with the dolphins.

まさかの急病人出てしまい、沖に出たのに引き返すことに。。。
時間がなくなり予定していたウミガメウォッチングが出来なくなってしまったことがすごく残念でした。それ以外は、イルカとも泳げたので楽しかったです。

A herd of 100! 100頭の群れ!

Reviewed by: oba

I participated on April 17, 2013. The weather was great, and I was able to swim with over 100 dolphins! I also saw about two sea turtles, and to my surprise, I was able to see a whale from the boat, which I thought was out of season. I felt like I had been saving my luck for this moment since I hadn't been very lucky lately.

One group probably had around 20 to 30 dolphins, and I went into the water three times, encountering them twice. I swam with four or five groups, so there might have been around 150 dolphins in total. It was just so lucky.

Our guide, Minako, was very clear in her explanations and had a bright personality, which was wonderful. I forgot the name, but Captain Papa? also took us accurately to the points, and during the whale watching, he kindly waited on the spot from when we dove until we surfaced.

My mother, who was with me, decided to stay on the boat at one point, saying, "I don't want to go in the water anymore today," but Minako frequently encouraged her not to push herself, so she was able to rest without hesitation. Since it was a tour with many entries, quite a few people chose to rest on the boat during the second session (snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle points).

Even though the weather was nice, we had been snorkeling for quite a while, so it got quite cold, and the warm tea we received on the boat was much appreciated. The snacks were also quite delicious. I devoured a cinnamon pastry and cheese. I was a bit concerned about the calories in the cereal bar, so I took it home.

I really had a great time. I definitely want to take my husband, who stayed home this time, with me next time.

2013/4/17に参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、なんと100頭を超すイルカと泳ぐことができました!
ウミガメも2頭ほど見ることができ、おまけに時期が終わったかと思われたクジラも船の上から見ることができました。最近何かとツイていなかったので、「このために運をとっていたのか?」と思うほどでした。

ひとつの群れがたぶん2,30頭で、3回海に入って2回遭遇、4、5グループと一緒に泳ぐことができたので、もしかすると150頭くらいかもです。とにかくラッキーでした。

ガイドのミナコさんの説明はわかりやすく、明るい人柄でとても良かったです。お名前を忘れてしまったのですが、キャプテンパパ?もポイントまで的確に連れて行って下さり、ホエールの時も潜ってから浮き上がるまでその場で待機してくださるなど、親切でした。

同行の母が途中、「ちょっと今日はもう水に入りたくない」と船上に残っていたのですが、無理しないで~とミナコさんが頻繁におっしゃってくださっていたので、遠慮せず休むことができました。エントリー回数の多いツアーだったので、2時限目(熱帯魚やウミガメのポイントでのシュノーケル)はさすがに船上でお休みされる方が多かったです。

良いお天気と言えども、結構な時間シュノーケルしていたので冷えてしまい、船上でいただいた温かいお茶はありがたかったです。スナックも結構おいしかったです。シナモン系の菓子パンとチーズぺろりと食べてしまいました。シリアルバーはさすがにカロリーが気になって持ち帰りました。

本当に楽しかったです。
今度はお留守番してもらった夫もぜひ連れて行きたいと思いました。

I was anxious about not being able to meet... 会えなくてヒヤヒヤしましたが・・・

This is my sixth time in Hawaii! I've wanted to join this tour for a while, and I finally participated this time.

Once we arrived at the port, we put on our wetsuits and immediately boarded the boat. The water temperature is low during this season, and the boat is fast, so being exposed to the wind the whole time was quite cold. Renting a wetsuit for $10 was definitely the right choice. By the way, everyone in the group rented one (laughs).

We set sail and searched for about two hours. Ultimately, we headed north up to just before the North Shore, but there was no sign of dolphins, and everyone was getting tired.

At that moment, we encountered a whale! It's rare to see one at this time of year. Everyone was thrilled by this unexpected encounter.

So, what about the dolphins? We received information from another boat that they were near the port! It was a case of "right under the lighthouse." We quickly headed south and managed to meet the dolphins. Depending on the day, there can be hundreds of them, but there were only a few on this day. However, I was really glad to see them clearly with my own eyes and to swim close to them.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point and got to swim with about five sea turtles. They came close enough to touch.

The staff's energy was incredibly high throughout, so if you're not a fan of that kind of lively student-like atmosphere, it might be a bit overwhelming. Also, it's quite intense, so I don't think it's suitable for those who lack physical stamina or for older individuals. It really drains your energy.

I wonder if it varies by day? I've heard there are days when they can be found easily, which might make it easier. We had quite a struggle finding them. When we finally spotted them, it was like "Let's go!" and everyone jumped in at once (there were also people from other companies), so it got crowded, and I ended up getting kicked by someone’s fin.

But it all became a great memory.

ハワイは6回目!前からこのツアーに参加してみたく、今回ついに参加してきました。

港についたら、ウェットスーツを着用しすぐに船に乗り込みます。
この時期は水温も低いし、船は高速ですのでずーと風にさらされ寒いので借りて
大正解。有料で10ドルです。ちなみに参加者の全員が借りていました(笑)

出航して、2時間くらい??探し回りました。最終的にはノースショアの手前まで
北上し探しましたがイルカ先生は全くいる気配がなく、みんなお疲れモード。

そんな時に、クジラに遭遇!この時期にいるのは珍しいとのこと。
思わぬ出会いにみんな喜んでいました。

で、イルカ先生は?仲間の船から、港の近くにいるとの情報が!灯台下暗しですかね。
いっきに南下し、なんとかイルカ先生に会うことができました。
日によっては何百匹といるそうですが、この日は数頭でした。
しかしこの目でハッキリと見ることができたし、近くで泳ぐことができて本当に
良かったです。

その後はシュノーケルポイントに移動して、亀大教授と泳ぐこともできました。
5匹くらいいましたよ。触れるくらい近くまで来てくれました。

スタッフのテンションが終始バカ高いので、そういう学生ノリの賑やかなのが苦手な方は苦痛かも?
しかも結構なスパルタなので、体力に自信のない方、高齢の方には向いてないと思います。ものすごく体力を消耗します。

日によるのかな??すぐに見つかる日もあるらしいから、そういう日は楽チンなのかも。私達はなかなか見つからず苦労しましたからね。
みつかった瞬間、それいけーーーーって感じで、みんなが一斉に飛び込み(他の会社の連中もいるから)混みあっていて、前の人のフィンで蹴られる始末です。

でも全部がいい想い出になりました。

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Excellent adventure. Don't miss it!!

Reviewed by: Stone Family

This was awesome!!! We not only saw dolphins but we saw humpback whales at the end of their migration. They also took us to a reef where we snorkeled with a sea turtle and saw tons of tropical fish. The girls on the boat crew were awesome. Highly educated about the ocean environment and the sea creatures. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation. Don't miss this activity. Especially if you can do it during the whale migration season. Also, Domingo, our shuttle driver that picked us up from the hotel was a great tour guide as well.
