The event that was supposed to be fun turned out differently... The kids got seasick. One dropped out before boarding. Just when we were about to snorkel in the sea, another one got seasick and dropped out. We participated as a group of four, but none of us could get into the water... We only saw dolphins from a distance... However, it seems that a large pod of dolphins came that day, and the other participants were happy. It seemed to be a bit tough for the kids who are not used to traveling.
楽しいはずのイベントが・・・子供たちがバスに酔い。乗船前に一人脱落。シュノーケルつけて海へ!って時に船酔いでもう一人脱落。4人で参加して一人も海に入れず・・・。イルカも遠まきにちょこっとみただけ・・・。
ただ、この日はイルカの大群が来ていたみたいで参加のみなさんは喜んでました。
旅慣れしてない子供にはちょっと厳しいツアーだったようです。

I was woken up early in the morning by a wake-up call, and my kids were grumpy as we bounced around on the bus for about an hour. We arrived on the West Coast and set sail with a high-energy instructor and a group of nice guys. To our surprise, we encountered a pod of dolphins just three minutes in, and we were instructed to jump in!
I thought the dolphins would be easy to spot in the clear water since they are large, but visibility was limited, and you couldn't tell they were nearby. Following the instruction to look down, I continued swimming and, sure enough, there was a pod of dolphins right below us! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins for about ten minutes, wondering if it was really this easy to see them.
Next, we moved to the sea turtle point. There were so many fish that if you fed them, they would swarm around you. Those who wanted to have fun enjoyed marine sports while swimming and spotted sea turtles. It was moving to see them swimming leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the humans around.
I wanted my 5-year-old and 3-year-old to try swimming with the sea turtles, but since it was their first time swimming in the ocean, snorkeling was too much for them, and they quickly got back on the boat. Even from the boat, we could see dolphins swimming right below us and turtles occasionally popping their heads above the surface, making the boat ride itself a great memory. I hope they can practice swimming and try again.
A beautiful photographer was also on board, and she captured stunning photos for us (for an additional fee). Overall, I was very satisfied! However, since we are dealing with nature, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but this tour has a high probability of encounters.
早朝からモーニングコールで起こされ、子供も不機嫌なままバスで揺られること1時間ほど
西海岸に到着し、ハイテンションなインストラクターとナイスガイ軍団とともに出港 なんと3分でイルカの群れに遭遇し、飛び込め!の指示が!
イルカは大きいので澄んだ海の中ならすぐに見えるだろうと思いきや、やはり視界に限界があり、そばにいないとわからない 下を見て!の指示に従い泳ぎ続けると、たしかに真下にイルカのむ群れが!こんなにEasyに見られていいのかと思いながら10分ほど皆でイルカとの遊泳を楽しみました。
さらに移動してウミガメポイントへ。ここは魚がたくさんいて餌をやろうものならそれこそ入れ食い状態。で、楽しみたい人たちはマリンスポーツを楽しみながら遊泳し、ウミガメ発見。人間など眼中にないかのごとく悠々と泳ぐさまに感動しました。
5歳と3歳のこどもがウミガメとの遊泳にチャレンジしてもらおうと思いましたがいかんせんまともに海で泳ぐのが初めてではシュノーケルは無理ですぐに船にあがってしまいました。船の上からでもま真下を泳ぐイルカやたまに顔を水面に出すカメを見ることができ、また、乗船自体もいい思い出になったようです。水泳の練習をして再チャレンジを期待したいところです。
船には美人カメラマンも乗船し、見事な写真の数々をデータにしてもらえました。(別料金)
全体として大満足!ただし、相手は自然なので必ずあえるとは限らないが、このツアーがかなりのか確率で会えるとのことです。

I participated at the end of February! Waking up early in the morning was tough, but there were so many dolphins that it was incredibly moving!! I was told that if you stop breathing through the snorkel, you can hear the dolphins, but there were so many dolphins that even while breathing normally, I could constantly hear their sounds!
Unfortunately, the waves were too high, so we couldn't do any marine sports, and the speaker broke, so we couldn't do the hula dance either. We were sent back to the hotel 1 hour and 30 minutes earlier than planned. I was happy to see a lot of dolphins, swim with turtles, and even see whales, although they were far away, but I wonder about the schedule not being adjusted despite the issues? Because of that, I didn't leave a tip.
I understand it's a business, but $60 for the photo CD is expensive! My friend wanted it, so I ended up buying it, but it's disappointing that we had to pay a high price for a CD that included other people besides us. I was advised not to take a camera while snorkeling with the dolphins, so I left it behind, but now I regret not bringing it.
2月末に参加しました!
朝早くから起きるのは大変でしたが、イルカがこれでもか!?っと言うほどいっぱいいて、超感動!!
シュノーケルの呼吸を止めるとイルカの声が聞こえると言われましたが、イルカが居すぎて、普通に呼吸していても、常時キュ~と言う声が聞こえていました~!!
残念なのは、波が高すぎて、マリンスポーツをやれず、またスピーカーが壊れてしまい、フラダンスも出来ず、予定より1時間30分早くホテルに帰されてしまいました。イルカもいっぱい見れて、亀と泳ぎ、遠かったけどクジラも見れてHAPPYでしたが、色々とスケジュールが抜けてもそのまま、っていうのはどうなんだろ?
そのため、tipは払いませんでした。
あと、商売なのは分かるけど、写真のCDR$60は高い!友人が欲しい!!っと言っていたので、結局買いましたが、自分達以外の人とかが載ったCDRを高額で買わなきゃならないのは残念。
イルカのシュノーケルの時にカメラを持って行くのはお勧め出来ないと言われ、カメラを置いて泳ぎましたが、持って行けば良かったと後悔してます。
Thank you for using our services.
However, we sincerely apologize for the change in schedule due to poor wave conditions.
Upon confirming with the operating company, we were informed that many passengers experienced seasickness due to the unfavorable wave conditions on that day, which is why the schedule was moved up by 30 minutes.
Additionally, I believe our guide provided information regarding the schedule change, but it seems that it was not communicated clearly to you, and we are truly sorry for that.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide services that will further enhance your satisfaction, and we appreciate your continued support.

First of all, it’s a coastal area, but since we go out into the open sea, it can get rocky. I got seasick, even though I’m usually fine with marine sports.
As for the dolphins, it seems that most of the approximately 30 participants were able to see them, but I couldn’t.
There were moments when they shouted, “The dolphins are over there! Jump in!” and “They’re over here! Jump in!” It didn’t feel like we were swimming together with them. When I desperately swam and looked around underwater, I could see them.
All the participants were Japanese. There were two staff members who could speak Japanese, and the others could mostly communicate as well. It was impressive to see the staff working hard to energize the somewhat reserved Japanese participants.
I was more impressed by the snorkeling than the dolphins. The water clarity was amazing!! It was about 10 meters deep, I think. The high transparency made it feel like I was flying in the sky, and the fish were beautiful, which was very moving. I’ve done snorkeling on other tours, but this one was by far the best!
The staff’s enthusiasm to help us see the dolphins and their desire to make it enjoyable was a very likable aspect of the tour.
まず、、、沿海ですが外海に出ますので揺れます。
そして酔います。普段からマリンスポーツでならしている私でも酔いました。
イルカですが、ツアー参加者30人程度の大多数が見れたようですが、
私は見れませんでした。
あっちにイルカが来た!それ飛び込め!、こっちにいる!飛び込め!
といった感じで飛び込みます。一緒に泳ぐという感じではないかな?
そして、必死に泳いで水中を見回すと見れるようです。
参加者は全員日本人。スタッフも日本語話せる方二人。その他の方もだいたい話せます。
ノリにくい日本人を必死に盛り上げるスタッフの姿が印象的。
私はイルカよりもシュノーケリングに感動しました。
水の透明度がすごい!!
水深10mくらいでしょうか。
透明度が高いのでまるで空を飛んでいるようで、魚もきれいで、とても感動しました。
他のツアーでもシュノーケリングしましたが
ここのがダントツです!
なんとかイルカを見てもらいたいというスタッフの熱意と
楽しませたいという思いが好感持てるツアーでした。

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication on the morning of the trip, but I started feeling sick on the way back and ended up vomiting... The staff advised me that it's better to take the medication starting the night before.

I participated alone, but I had so much fun from start to finish. Since it was nature, I thought it would be lucky to see dolphins, but I was amazed to see over 100 of them!!! I also got to see a whale breach and swim with sea turtles.
In the morning, I enjoyed freshly made malasadas from Leonard's, and for lunch, I had a cheeseburger, juice, and snacks, so I never felt hungry♪
Above all, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Sue kept talking to us, which made me feel at ease, and they took great photos of me while I was playing in the ocean. When I thought it was cold, they brought out warm tea, and they promptly collected any trash, so they really took care of everything.
"They say swimming with dolphins is a once-in-a-lifetime dream, right? Today is that day! Since they are wild dolphins, there's no guarantee, but all of us staff want you to fulfill your dreams! You won't get this chance many times in your life!"
It was a precious day during my trip. Their warm words and actions from our perspective were very touching♡
I will definitely participate again! Dolphin University is the best!!!!
一人で参加したのですが、最初から最後までとっても楽しかったです。
自然相手なのでイルカに会えたらラッキーとは思っていましたがまさかの100頭越え!!!
クジラのブリーチも見れて、ウミガメとも泳ぐ事が出来ました。
朝はレナーズの出来たてマラサダを頂き、お昼にはチーズバーガーとジュースとスナックも頂いたので空腹になる事がありませんでした♪
何よりもスタッフの方が最高に良かったです。
スーさんがひたすら話してくれていたので安心感がありましたし、海で遊んでいる自分の写真もイイ感じに撮って頂けます。寒いな~と思った時には温かいお茶を出していただけたり、ゴミもすぐに回収しに来てくれるので至れり尽くせりです。
「イルカと泳ぎたな~って一生に一度は思う夢の事だよね?
今日はまさにその時!野生のイルカだから100%は無いけど、私達スタッフは皆さんに夢を叶えて欲しいと思ってるんだよ~!こんなチャンス一生に何回もないでしょ?」
って。旅行できた貴重な一日。私達の目線で発してくれる言動がとても温かかったです♡

I participated because I heard there would be dolphins and SUP.
...There were dolphins, but the sea was murky, so I couldn't see them well (tears).
Moreover, SUP was canceled due to the poor sea conditions.
I was fine, but there were many people on their honeymoon, and it was quite unfortunate to see that a significant number of them were getting seasick.
There were also people from Dolphin Junior High nearby, and it seemed that the first discoverer was from Dolphin Junior High, so they were able to enjoy the experience much closer and for a longer time than we could.
イルカとSUPもあるというので参加しました。
・・・がいるにはいましたが、海が濁っていてよく見えない(涙)
おまけに海の状態が悪いからとSUPは中止。
私は何ともありませんでしたが、
ハネムーンで来ていた方が多く、
かなりの確率で船酔いしていたのが見ていて気の毒でした。
近くにイルカ中学の方達もいたのですが、
第一発見者の方がイルカ中学の方で、
私達よりは、はるかに近く時間もたっぷりと堪能できたようです。

I participated in an activity with friends for my first trip to Hawaii! After checking online reviews, I enrolled in Dolphin University.
Since it was an early morning, it was definitely a good decision to avoid the day after I arrived! On the bus, there were mostly safety instructions, and I was a bit worried if it would really be fun...
But starting from the malasada, I gradually felt more refreshed, and once we got on the boat, my excitement was through the roof!
We even got to see a mother and baby whale, which was truly moving for everyone! After that, we swam with dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle.
You should be cautious about your stamina and seasickness, but I think it's a tour I can recommend!
初ハワイで友達と何かアクティビティーに参加しよう!ということでネットの評判を見てイルカ大学へ入学しました♪
朝はやいので、着いた日の次の日は避けて正解でした!バスの中では注意事項などばかりでほんとに楽しいかなぁ〜って少し不安に…
でもマラサダあたりからだんだん頭もスッキリしてきて、船に乗ってからはテンションめっちゃあがること間違いなしです笑
さらにクジラの親子に会えたのでみんなで感動‼︎ その後もイルカとも泳げましたし、ウミガメにも会えました♪

The weather was great, and we were able to meet dolphins without any issues! Since we were on the ocean, I think towels and light outerwear are necessary. It was warm for November, but many people ended up borrowing wetsuits. Also, if you're bringing a change of clothes, I recommend something that's easy to put on and take off.
お天気にも恵まれ、無事にイルカにも会うこともできました!やはり海の上なので、タオルや羽織モノは必要だと思います。11月にしては暖かかったですが、急遽ウェットスーツを借りている人も多かったです。あと。着替えを持って行くならば脱ぎ着が楽なものがオススメです。

It’s not that we didn’t see dolphins or sea turtles, but it was disappointing that we couldn’t see as many as we had hoped. We only saw a few dolphins and just one sea turtle. Since the wind picked up, there were no marine sports, so we were told we had free time. But I thought, if that’s the case, then let’s go look for dolphins!! I don’t understand why we paid for the tour.
イルカやウミガメが見られなかった訳ではないが、期待していたほど見ることができなくて残念でした。イルカに至っては数匹・ウミガメは1匹のみでした。風が出てきたためマリンスポーツはなしだったので、自由時間です。といわれましたが、だったらイルカ探しに行ってよ!!って思いました。何のためにお金だしてツアーに参加したのか分からない。

I participated in the Dolphin University on November 2, 2014. We gathered at a little past 6 AM, so the energy was low, but our chairperson, Julie, was super high-energy and lifted our spirits, making us feel excited. We enjoyed delicious malasadas and then boarded the boat. I got to meet many dolphin instructors and Professor Turtle. I was even able to have a conversation with a dolphin instructor!
We challenged ourselves to see how fast we could go while kayaking, and it was really fun. At one point, Julie said, "It's your tour, so you all have to enjoy it!" I think it's true that if you don't enjoy it, you're missing out. I highly recommend it!

Overall, I had a fun time and created great memories. Although I felt a sense of discomfort with the guide, Sue (a Japanese), who spoke in a somewhat intimidating tone and exaggerated stories to satisfy the participants, I was reassured by the local staff who constantly checked on everyone’s condition during snorkeling. We saw several groups of dolphins swimming beneath us (according to Sue, there were more than 50 in a pod, but it seemed exaggerated...), and we observed dolphins jumping and playing up close from the boat. I felt like I managed to chase after a turtle, but the tropical fish in the water were beautiful and breathtaking.
I hadn’t put my face in the water for over 15 years and was worried, but thanks to the wetsuit, I wasn’t cold, and the water felt warm and pleasant.
The hamburger for lunch was clearly made from the cheapest frozen meat and bread, but perhaps because I was hungry and surrounded by stunning scenery on the boat, it tasted good.
I would like to try this again.
全体的に楽しく思い出が作れました。敬語が喋れないのか、ガイドのスーさん(日本人)の威圧的な喋り口調の日本語と、「皆さんラッキーですね、こんな事滅多に無いんですよ」と参加者を満足させるための誇張した話にずっと違和感を感じていたものの、現地スタッフはスノーケリング中、常に参加者の状態を気遣っていて安心しました。イルカは何匹かの群が自分たちの下を通り(スーさん曰く50匹以上の群れだったそうですが、誇張されてたような…)、船上では飛び跳ねたり遊んでるイルカを間近で観察しました。亀は頑張って追いかけて見れた感じでしたが、海水の中はトロピカルフィッシュが美しく感動的でした。
15年以上水に顔をつけたことがなく心配していたものの、スウェットスーツのおかげで寒くなく、水の中は暖かくて気持ち良かったです。
昼食のハンバーガーは、ハッキリ言って明らかに一番安い冷凍肉とパンをBBQしたものでしたが、お腹が減っていたのと絶景に囲まれた船上で食べたからか、美味しかったです。
またチャレンジしたいと思います。

I was so happy! However, there were too many people on the boat, so I wished for a bit more space.

We participated as a couple with our 8-year-old son. We were very excited to swim with the dolphins multiple times and see them up close. It was reassuring to have a guide from Japan, which made us feel safe participating. The guide was flexible and adapted to the dolphins' situation, allowing us to fully enjoy our time.
夫婦と8才の息子とで参加。何度もイルカと泳ぎ、間近でみることができて大変興奮しました。また日本の方がガイドなので安心して参加できます。イルカの状況によって臨機応変に対応されていたので、充実した時間を満喫することができました。

I had an amazing day that exceeded my expectations! First of all, our guide, Julie, was truly wonderful and great at getting everyone excited, which raised our spirits even before we saw the dolphins! Unfortunately, there was a boat from a dolphin protection organization that day, so we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were still able to see many wild dolphins up close, which was very moving. (I've heard that days when you can't swim with the dolphins are quite rare, so don't worry.) We also got to see a baby dolphin swimming, which was even more touching. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling. You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even those who can't swim can definitely give it a try. The atmosphere on the boat was fun throughout the day, making it a very fulfilling experience. I will definitely participate again!
予想以上に素晴らしい1日を過ごせました!まずガイドのジュリさんが本当に素敵な方で、盛り上げ上手なのでイルカを見る前からテンションが高まりました!実はこの日、イルカを保護する団体の船?が出ていたのでイルカと一緒に泳ぐことは残念ながら出来なかったのですが、それでも生で野生のイルカを沢山見ることが出来てとても感動しました。(これが理由でイルカと泳げない日はめったにないそうなので安心して下さい)また、赤ちゃんイルカが泳いでるのも見れて、更に感動でした。その後はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ウェットスーツを10$で借りることが出来ます。泳げない子も全然挑戦できます。船上でも、始終楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さっていたので1日が大変充実していました。また絶対参加します!

Since being healed by wild dolphins four years ago, this was my second time participating. The first spot was filled with a school of dolphins swimming around, and it was over in the blink of an eye, but I was satisfied as dolphins crossed right in front of me and I could hear their voices. At the second spot, there were more than 50 dolphins, some of them were relaxing and there were even baby dolphins, which was incredibly healing and satisfying once again.
Also, while moving on the boat, I saw many dolphins performing spin jumps, as if they were saying, "Come back again!" I’m thinking of going to the Big Island next year.
4年前に野生のイルカに癒されて以来、2度目の入学でした。
1度目のポイントは泳ぎまくるイルカの群れでアッという間でしたが、目の前をイルカが横切るわ、イルカの声は聞けるわで満足。2度目のポイントでは、なんと約50頭以上の群れで、ゆったり寝ている状態で子供のイルカもいたりして、今回も癒されて大満足でした。
また、船で移動中にはイルカのスピンジャンプも多く見られ、また来いよ!と言われているようでした。
来年はハワイ島に行こうかな。

The dolphin and turtle, 100 points. Subtracting 30 points for the unexpected above = 70 points! ♪
$150 for 2 people plus chips, so the dolphin swim at a certain aquarium might feel like a better deal.
オラオラの〇―さん。委員長?
トゲトゲした〇屋アンナ風のダミ声でイケイケのトーク!
イルカと亀、100点 引く 上記(予想外)マイナス30点 = 70点だよ~♪
150ドル×2名 プラスchipなんで、某水族館のドルフィンスイムの方がお得感あるかもしれませんね。

It was very interesting, with no time to rest as we moved from one thing to the next.
However, I was puzzled that, despite the mention of tips being included at the time of booking, there was a request for tips on-site.
Please either state that tips are not included or make it so that tips are not required on-site.
I plan to visit again! ★
休む暇なく次から次へとで、とても面白かったです。
ただ申し込み時にチップ込みと記載があったにも関わらず、現地でチップのお願いがあったのが疑問。
記載にチップは含みませんと書くか、現地でのチップを無しにするかどちらかにして下さい。
また遊びに行く予定です★

I had the pleasure of using Dolphin University. To put it simply, it was the best! We were blessed with great weather, got to visit the sacred site of Makua, met dolphins, and encountered sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience. The staff, especially Sue, the class representative, were very accommodating, and I had a lot of fun! I will definitely participate in Manta University next time! Thank you very much!
イルカ大学利用させていただきました。
一言で言うと最高でした!
天候にも恵まれ聖地マクアにもいけて、イルカにも会えて、ウミガメにも会えて文句なしで1番いい思い出になりました。
学級委員のスーさんをはじめスタッフの方の対応もよく凄く楽しかったです!ぜひつぎはマンタ大学に参加します!!ありがとうございました!

I participated because it had been my dream since childhood to swim with wild dolphins. I had to wear a life jacket the whole time, which was a bit disappointing compared to what I imagined a dolphin swim would be like, but I was moved when I heard the dolphins' voices and when they swam right underneath me. There were also many turtles that I could see up close, which was great. One downside was that the tour guide was a bit too talkative, which bothered me and made me feel uncomfortable during my time in Hawaii. There’s room for improvement, ◯-san... Also, it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim. The malasadas from Leonard's were delicious!
野生のイルカと泳ぐのが子どもの時からの夢だったので参加しました。ライフジャケットをずっと着用してなければいけないため、ドルフィンスイムを想像していくと少々期待はずれですがイルカの声が聞こえたりすぐ真下を通ったときは感動しました。カメもたくさんいて間近で見られ、とても良かったです。ひとつ残念だったのはツアーガイド?の方が、いつも一言多くていちいち勘に触ったので、ハワイに来て嫌な気分になりました。◯ーさん、改善の余地ありです…あと泳げない人は若干ツラいツアーかも。レナーズのマラサダおいしかった!

I thought the first boat would have a better encounter rate, but it was full, so we took the second boat. We departed the port after eating malasadas.
It took quite a while to reach the point where the dolphins were, but since it was summer vacation, there were seven children under 12 on board. Thanks to that, we were able to try three times and see dolphins each time, which was great. To be honest, it felt more like watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.
I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but after getting out of the water and heading to the next point, it was a bit chilly.
There was a place to store luggage under the seats on the boat, but in some spots, people got soaked from the waves.
After that, we moved to a snorkeling point where we could see turtles and tried canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The stand-up paddleboarding felt more like paddling calmly on the sea like a canoe rather than riding the waves, and it seemed difficult to stand on the board.
On the way back, we had cheeseburgers. Along the way, we were also served warm tea, snacks, and juice.
Since we tried three times, there was no time to change, so everyone got on the bus in their swimsuits to return to the hotel. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and it was cold. Usually, it seems that people change in a spacious restroom.
Some experiences mention a strict guide, but we had a Japanese male guide who was very good.
第1便の方が遭遇率が良いのかと思いましたが、満員で第2便の出発となりました。
マラサダを食べてから港を出発。
イルカのいるポイントまで随分かかりましたが、この日夏休みと言うこともあり12歳以下の子供が7人もいると言う話でしたが、おかげで3回もチャレンジして頂き3回ともイルカを見ることが出来て良かったです。
正直一緒に泳ぐと言うかは水中でイルカが泳いでいるのを見ると言った感じでした。
私は長袖のラッシュガードを着用して行ったのでウェットスーツはレンタルしませんでしたが、海から上がりまた次のポイントまで船を走らせると少し肌寒かったです。
手荷物は船の座席の下にしまう場所がありましたが場所によっては波がかかりずぶ濡れになってる人もいました。
その後カメに会えるシュノーケルポイントに移動しカヌーやスタンダップ・パドルボードに挑戦。
スタンダップパドルは波に乗ると言うよりカヌーの様に穏やかな海の上を漕ぐだけでしたがボードに立つのが難しい様でした。
そして帰りながらチーズバーガーを頂きました。途中温かいお茶やスナック菓子やジュースも出ました。
今回は3回もチャレンジしたので時間が無く着替える時間も無かったので、皆水着のままバスに乗りホテルに帰りました。
バスの中はクーラーがガンガンに効いてて寒かったです。
普段は広めのトイレで着替えるようです。
体験談の中には厳しい口調のガイドだった事も書かれていますが、私達は日本人男性のガイドさんでとても良かったです。
