I was able to see both dolphins and turtles! イルカもカメも会えた！

Reviewed by: ぱんん

Since it was an early morning trip, I was told that a wetsuit would be better, but the weather was so nice that I think it wasn't necessary. The dolphins were quite close to the shore, and we made our first dive a little way out on the boat. I was moved as the dolphins swam right underneath me and leaped a little ahead.

For the second dive, we went to a spot where turtles are often found. The water was clearer here, and there were many beautiful fish, making it very pretty. It felt like looking at an aquarium tank. I was also able to see the turtles right in front of me, which was amazing! It was great to have free time with people returning to the boat, playing on the slide, and snorkeling. I spent the whole time snorkeling, but I wish I had played on the slide as well. The light snack hamburger also had a homemade feel and was delicious. All the staff were friendly, and it was a very enjoyable time. Since it was an early morning trip, I had the whole afternoon free. I was blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

早朝の便だったので、ウェットスーツがあった方がいいとのことでしたが、天気がとても良かったのでなくてもよかったなと思いました。
イルカは結構陸の近くにおり、船で少し行ったところで最初のダイブをしました。イルカが自分の真下を通ったり、少し前を飛んだりと感動しました。
二度目は、カメがよくいる所でダイブしました。こちらの方が海の透明度も高く綺麗な魚がたくさんおり、とても綺麗でした。まるで水族館の水槽を見ているようです。カメも目の前で見ることができ、感動です！船に戻る人、滑り台等で遊ぶ人、シュノーケリングをする人と自由時間があって良かったです。私はずっとシュノーケリングをしていたのですが、滑り台等でも遊べば良かったなと思いました。軽食のハンバーガーも手作り感があり美味しかったです。スタッフの方々皆さんノリが良くとても楽しい時間でした。早朝の便だったので、午後は丸々使えます。天気にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。またハワイに来た際は、是非参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Dolphins and sea turtles! イルカとウミガメ！

Reviewed by: にこにこ

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM. I felt reassured that about 70% of the participants were Japanese. Moreover, more than half of them were also on their honeymoon and congratulated us. We listened to the instructions in English and Japanese on the bus. After a short boat ride from Port Harbor, thanks to E ho mai, we spotted a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle while swimming. Since we met the dolphins and sea turtles right away, we were able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, trampolines, and slides. It was a pity that there was only one kayak, so only a few people could experience it. The food included homemade cheeseburgers, chips, pineapple, and drinks, all of which were very delicious. The crew was cheerful, and they made the tour very enjoyable with hula dancing and funny stories. It was a bit pricey, but I would like to participate again. The Dolphin & You tattoo sticker was very cute and reminded me of the fun time even after returning to Japan.

朝５時半にホテル前でピックアップ。参加者は、日本人が７割くらいで安心しました。また、半数以上が私たちと同じハネムーンの人で祝福してくれました。バスの中で英語と日本語で注意事項を聞きました。ポートハーバーから船で少し行くと、E ho maiのおかげからか、イルカの群れを発見、泳いでいるとウミガメにも会えました。すぐにイルカ・ウミガメに会えたので、スタンドアップパドルボードや、トランポリン、滑り台を楽しむことができました。カヤックは一台しかなかったので一部の人しか体験できなかったのが残念でした。食べ物は、手作りのチーズバーガー、チップス、パイナップル、飲み物をいただきました。どれもとても美味しかったです。クルーの人も陽気な人ばかりで、フラダンスや、面白い話で場を盛り上げてくれてとても楽しいツアーでした。少し高いですが、また参加したいと思いました。ドルフィン＆ユーのタトゥーシールがとてもかわいく、日本に帰ってからも楽しかった時間を思い出せました。

The dolphins, the sea turtles, and the staff were all amazing! ♪ イルカもウミガメもスタッフも最高♪

Reviewed by: とめさん

The optional tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip was amazing! I encountered dolphins and sea turtles multiple times, which was the highlight!

There were two snorkeling sessions: the first at a dolphin spot and the second at a sea turtle and tropical fish spot. After that, we had free time where we could continue snorkeling, relax on the boat, or play on the slide and water trampoline. We had so much fun!

The staff were all cheerful, and we enjoyed dancing together on the boat. The BBQ hamburgers were also very delicious.

I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Even as a beginner, I was able to take great photos! I can't mention other rental sites, but you can rent one in Japan for about 5,000 yen for a week, so definitely consider it!

今回の旅行でイチバン楽しみにしていたオプションツアー
イルカともウミガメとも何度も遭遇できて最高でした！

シュノーケリングは2回あって、1回目はイルカスポット、2回目はウミガメや熱帯魚スポット。
その後は自由時間でそのままシュノーケリングもよし、船でゆっくりもよし、滑り台や水上トランポリンで遊んでもよしと、めいっぱい遊べました！

スタッフもみんな陽気な方ばかりで、船上でダンスをして一緒に楽しみました。
BBQハンバーガーもとても美味しくいただきました。

水中カメラを持って行くのをオススメします。
素人でもしっかり撮れましたよ！
他のサイトの宣伝は書けませんが、日本で5000円出せば1週間程度レンタルできるのでぜひぜひ♪

Reviewed by: なおみ

I was able to see dolphins!!!
Since I had heard that wild dolphins might not be seen sometimes, I was a bit worried about today, but I was truly moved to be able to see them o(^▽^)o♡
I was able to see them so clearly that I felt like I was looking at an aquarium tank.
I got to watch them swim for a while, and I was so happy to see a small baby dolphin too!
They swam quite close to us.
The dolphins were really cute o(^▽^)o
Not only dolphins, but I also saw about five or six sea turtles!
It was my first time seeing so many sea turtles up close, and I was really impressed!
When they came up for air, I was able to see them so closely, it was amazing!! I regretted not bringing an underwater camera... (laughs)
On the boat heading to the dolphin swimming point, the crew members kept the atmosphere lively, and we had a great time♡
The hula dance was wonderful too♡♡
I've participated in various tours before, but I think this was the most fun tour I've ever had!
The Japanese was so good, just like a native speaker, so I had no trouble during the tour (^｡^)
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

イルカ見れました〜！！！
本当に野生のイルカだから
見れない時もあると聞いていたので、今日はどうかなーと少し心配でしたが見ることができて本当に感動しましたo(^▽^)o♡
水族館の水槽を見てるのかと思ったぐらいにしっかり見れました〜
しばらく泳ぐ姿を見ることができたし、
小さい赤ちゃんイルカも見れて嬉しかったです！
私たちの割と近くを泳いでくれました。
イルカ本当に可愛かったo(^▽^)o
イルカだけじゃなくて海ガメも５〜６匹見れました！
あんなに近くで、あれだけの海ガメを見たのは初めてで大感動でした！
息継ぎをしに上がってきた時は本当に近くで見れて感動！！水中カメラ持って行けば良かったと後悔しました・・・（笑）
イルカが泳いでいるポイントまで向かうときの船でもクルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しく過ごせました♡
フラダンスも素敵でした♡♡
今までいろんなツアーに参加してきたけど
１番楽しかったと思うツアーになりました！
日本語も日本人みたいに上手だったのでツアー中も何不自由なかったです(^｡^)

Reviewed by: Heather

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny!

It's a tour where you can meet sea turtles, but the tropical fish... ウミガメに会えるツアーですが熱帯魚は・・・。

Reviewed by: ジュリ

The water clarity was so-so. You could somewhat see the ocean floor, but not clearly. There were some larger tropical fish, but don't expect too much. However, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, which was an experience I hadn't had in previous snorkeling trips. I recommend this for those who want to see sea turtles. The location for check-in was a bit hard to find, and the staff member who guided us spoke only English, which made it a bit confusing. That's why I gave this rating, but if you're not concerned about these aspects and just want to see sea turtles, it's a good option.

水の透明度は、まーまーでした。海の底は何とか見えたり見えなかったりです。熱帯魚は大きめな魚がチヤホヤ程度で、期待はしてはいけませんが、ウミガメが目の前に現れました。これは今までのシュノーケリングには無かった経験でした。ウミガメを見たい方はお薦めです。受付の場所が分かりにくいのと、受付の案内をするお兄さんが英語のみで、わかりにくかったので、この評価にしましたが、この辺りを気にせずウミガメを見たい場合は手頃です。

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.

We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.

I was thrilled to finally meet the Dolphins and the crew! 念願のドルフィンとクルーの皆さんに感激

Reviewed by: ＭＩＣ

Last time I went to Hawaii, I participated in a dolphin tour with another company, but I got seasick and had to give up snorkeling. This time, I was really looking forward to swimming with the dolphins. However, due to the effects of the hurricane, we weren't able to see the dolphins on the first day, despite the high probability of encountering them.

However, since my husband couldn't swim and immediately cramped up, the Japanese guide helped him with a float and guided him to where the sea turtles were, so he was able to enjoy himself even without seeing the dolphins. I used a half-price ticket for not seeing the dolphins and tried again the next day.

I was truly moved to be able to swim close to the dolphins I had longed for, to see many fish, and to see many sea turtles up close. More than that, I was touched by the morning call, the crew's hula dance and performances on the boat, and the crew's desire for many people to meet the dolphins.

There are various dolphin tours offered by different companies, but I highly recommend Dolphin and You. I would definitely like to participate again.

前回、ハワイに行った時に別の会社のドルフィンのツアーに参加したのですが,船酔いで,シュノーケリングは断念したため、今回こそはどうしてもドルフィンと泳ぎたいととても楽しみにしていました。しかし、ハリケーンの影響か、一日目は高い確率で会えるはずのドルフィンに会えませんでした。
しかし、泳げない上に泳ぎ始めてすぐに足をつった主人を日本語ガイドさんが、浮輪,で誘導して、ウミガメのところまで案内してくれたので、主人はドルフィンには会えなくても、十分楽しめようです。
私はドルフィンに会えなかった場合の半額チケットで、翌日もトライしました。
念願のドルフィンの近くで泳げたこと、たくさんの魚達、たくさんのウミガメを間近で見れたこと、本当に感激しました。
しかし、それ以上に、朝のモーニングコール、船の上でのクルーの皆さんのフラダンスやパフォーマンス、多くの人にドルフィンに会ってもらいたいというクルーの皆さん想いに触れて、感動しました。
色々な会社さんのドルフィンツアーがありますが、ドルフィンアンドユー様をおすすめします。私も、是非、また参加したいです。

Reviewed by: kimi

There was a large group of dolphins, but they were far below my feet, so I almost missed them. I wish I could have gotten a little closer. Since they are wild, I can't complain.
After the dolphins, we went to the turtle point, and that was really great. It was my first time seeing so many turtles, including baby turtles, up close. Stand-up paddleboarding and the trampoline were also a lot of fun. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious because they cooked them right there on the spot. I also appreciated that they were accommodating with various requests like gluten-free and no cheese.

イルカの大群はいましたが、足元のずっと下の方だったので、見落としそうでした。もう少し近くまで寄れたらよかったのですが。野生なので、文句は言えないですよね。
イルカの次にカメのポイントに行き、そこがとってもよかったです。あんなにそばでたくさんのカメ、子亀？を見るのは初めてでした。またスタンダップパドルボートやトランポリンなど、とっても楽しかったです。BBQハンバーガーは、その場で焼いてくれてるのでとてもおいしかったです。グルテンフリーやチーズなしなどいろいろな希望を聞いてくれるのもありがたいですね。

It was fun! 楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: amie

The staff was kind and had great energy, making it a really fun tour. Despite a hurricane approaching, we managed to avoid it and set off in pleasant weather! We dove into the sea at two points to swim with dolphins, and luckily, we saw honu (sea turtles) at both spots. They made sure to check if everyone had seen the dolphins, and the explanations in both English and Japanese were reassuring. The slide after swimming with the dolphins was also fun and I highly recommend it! Due to the wind, we couldn't play on the trampoline, which I was looking forward to, but I'll save that for next time!

Once you get into the sea, you inevitably feel cold from the wind while on the boat, so I recommend bringing a towel or a hoodie to wear!

I didn't receive the eco-bag that was mentioned during the booking, but this trip was a highlight for me, so I'm satisfied! I will definitely participate again next time!

スタッフの方も親切で、ノリも良くてすごく楽しいツアーになりました。ハリケーンが来ている中、なんとか逸れてくれて、心地いい天気の中出発！イルカと泳ぐポイント2箇所で海へダイブ、ラッキーだったのかどちらのポイントでもホヌも見れました。 きちんと参加者全員がイルカを見れたかも聞いてくれるし、英語と日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるのな安心です。イルカと泳いだ後の、スライダーも楽しくてオススメです！風の影響で、楽しみにしていたトランポリンでは遊べませんでしたが、これは次回の楽しみに取っておきます笑◡̈

一度海に入った後は、どうしても船上で風を浴びるので、寒く感じます。タオルやパーカーなど羽織れるものを持っていくことをオススメします！

申し込み時に書いてあったエコバッグは頂けませんでしたが…
今回の旅でのハイライトとなりましたので、満足です！次回も是非参加します♪

I participated in a daytime snorkeling tour. While enjoying views of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, I snorkeled with sea turtles for about an hour, creating unforgettable memories. On the boat, snacks and drinks (for an additional fee) were provided, and you can also enjoy a cruising time after snorkeling. I think it was a very meaningful experience for a tour I decided on suddenly. The price is a bit on the higher side, though...

This would have been a great snorkel adventure if there weren't so many people on board. It was impossible to view turtles. We were told to stick together and when the crew member who was in the water with us alerted us about a sighting everyone would swim over towards the turtles and you would either get kicked or shoved aside. Finally my granddaughter and I gave up and swam back toward the catamaran and we saw plenty of fish. The lunch was a lot better than the catamaran snorkel sail I took her on last year while she was here visiting. But they had a lot fewer people and we were able to snorkel and see turtles without being run over.

I'm disappointed. がっかりです

Reviewed by: komari

I apologize for the long message.
I participated with my three children early in the morning on July 19, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. To make matters worse, it seemed that the day was affected by a typhoon, and the waves were quite rough, making for a really tough tour.
As the main event of our Hawaii trip, I wanted my sons, who love swimming, to swim with dolphins. After reading many reviews, I chose this tour, which allows participation from age two, and I was really looking forward to it. I woke up early and took all three kids with me. I wanted to create good memories, so I purchased a USB and an SD card in advance as recommended.
However, after boarding the boat and being tossed around in the rough waves for over an hour while searching for dolphins, even our family, who usually doesn't get seasick, started to feel unwell, along with other participants.
We changed our plans and started with free snorkeling time, but as soon as the boat finally stopped, the nausea peaked... Many people felt sick and were resting on the boat.
Even though we felt unwell, we decided to jump into the sea, but the wave conditions were quite severe, making it difficult even for adults to snorkel. It was a challenging task for my husband and me to care for our three children while swimming, and our four-year-old and two-year-old sons were crying. There were only a few crew members in the water to support us, and there were no floatation devices for the kids. Of course, it wasn't a situation where anyone could play on the trampoline or paddleboard; it seemed like no one was having fun. We returned to the boat early, but the seasickness didn't go away, and eventually, our second son got sick. The only one who enjoyed the slide was our eight-year-old son.
Despite purchasing the SD card and USB in advance, I didn't even realize that underwater photos were being taken, as we spent so little time in the water. I regret buying them since we didn't get to see any dolphins. (Moreover, for some reason, I can't open the photos on the USB after returning home.)
Even after returning to the boat, the seasickness lingered, and I felt unwell, not to mention we hardly saw any dolphins or turtles, so I didn't even feel like eating a cheeseburger. There were a few others who were also taking out food. On the way back, there was a hula dance performance, but the mood inside the boat had dropped significantly, and the crew's high spirits felt out of place.
I heard that other tour companies also didn't encounter any dolphins that day, and I understand that it's nature, so it's not 100% guaranteed. However, most of the time was spent traveling, and the sea conditions were terrible, leaving us with hardly any time in the water. Overall, I was left with dissatisfaction regarding the photos and videos. We received a voucher for half-price participation next time, but it's not easy for our family to come to Hawaii again, and I can't justify the cost of over 80,000 yen for that experience.
If participation is allowed from age two, I wish they would consider more accommodations for children. We have participated in various activities as a family before, but this was the most expensive tour with the lowest satisfaction. While our family trip to Hawaii was enjoyable, thinking back on this day makes me sad.

長文になります、すみません。
7/19早朝から子供３人を連れて参加しましたが、残念ながらイルカには会えませんでした。それどころか、その日は台風の影響らしく波がかなりうねっていて本当に辛いツアーになりました。
今回のハワイ旅行のメインとして、泳ぐのが大好きな息子達にイルカと一緒に泳がせてあげたいと思い、口コミもたくさん読んで２歳から参加できるこのツアーを選びものすごく楽しみに、がんばって早起きをして３人連れて行きました。いい思い出を残したいと思い、USBもSDカードもすすめられるがまま事前に購入しました。
しかし、船に乗って荒々しい波に延々一時間以上？揺られながらイルカを探しまわるが現れず、その時点で船酔いしない我が家も、他の参加者も具合が悪そうに…⤵
予定を変更して、先にフリーシュノーケルタイムと、やっと停舶したと同時に気持ち悪さがピークに。。。何人もの方が気持ちが悪くなって船で休んでいました。
我が家も気持ち悪いながらも
せっかくだからと思いきって海に飛び込みましたが、波のうねりがかなりひどく、大人でもシュノーケルが難しい状況なうえに、夫婦で３人の子供達をケアしながら泳ぐのは至 難の技で、４歳と２歳の息子は号泣。それでも海に入ってるクルーはわずかだし、子供へのサポートや浮き具なども特になし。もちろんトランポリンやパドルボートなどで遊べるような状況ではなく、誰も遊んでいなかったようです。早々に船に戻るも船酔いが治らず、とうとう次男は戻してしまいました。唯一8才の息子は滑り台は楽しんでいましたが。
事前にSDカード＆USBを購入したのにも関わらず、肝心な水中での写真なんて撮られている自覚もありません、そもそも海に入ってる時間がわずかだったので。イルカに会えないなら買わなければ良かったと思っています。(しかも、帰国してからなぜかUSBの写真が開けない)
船に戻っても船酔いが治らず、気持ちは悪いわイルカにも亀にもろくに会えないわで、チーズバーガーなんてましてや食べる気になりませんでした。同じようにテイクアウトしてる人も、何人かいました。帰りもフラダンスの披露などありましたが、もう船内のテンションは落ちまくり、クルー達の高いテンションは空回り、といった感じでした。
その日は他のツアー会社もどこもイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことで、自然のものなので、100%ではないのは承知済みですが、ほとんどが移動で終わり、さらに海のコンディションは最悪で水中にはほとんど入れず、写真や動画撮影に対しても、全てにおいて不満だけが残りました。次回半額で参加できるバウチャーを、いただきましまが、我が家にとってそんなに簡単にハワイに来られる訳でもありませんし、そもそもあの内容に対しての５人で80000円以上の負担は納得がいきません。
２歳から参加OKとしているなら、もっと子供への配慮を考えてほしいものです。今まで様々なアクティビティに、家族で参加してきましたが、今までで一番高額で 満足度は一番低いツアーでした。今回の家族でのハワイ旅行は楽しかったですが、この日のことを思い出すと悲しくなります。

I'm glad I participated in Dolphin & You. ドルフィン＆ユーさんに参加して良かったです

I participated with my elderly husband's parents. My mother is a good swimmer, but she was worried because of her mobility issues. However, with the support of our guide, Saki, she was able to enjoy the tour until the end.

We were very lucky to encounter dolphins right after we set sail. However, I was surprised that we had to dive from the boat to swim with the dolphins. Because of this, my mother was too scared to enter the water, but we were still able to see the dolphins from the boat. They were very cute, jumping and spinning around. When my husband and I jumped in at Saki's signal, we were able to see a large group of ten dolphins right below us. We were very excited to see the dolphins up close.

I have participated in various dolphin tours overseas, but this was the first time I saw wild dolphins swimming in the ocean, so it was a great experience. We also got to see many turtles.

With Saki's help, my parents were able to get close to see the turtles as well.

I am truly grateful to Saki and all the staff at Dolphin & You for their kindness. It really became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate with my husband.

I believe the photo we took at the end of the tour, where everyone is smiling, shows how enjoyable this tour was. I hope this happiness comes across in the photo I’m posting.

Dolphin & You is the best!

高齢の主人の両親と参加しました。
母は泳ぎが得意ですが足が不自由ということで心配していましたがガイドのサキさんのサポートもあり最後までツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。

お目当てのイルカさんには出港後すぐに遭遇出来非常にラッキーでした。
しかしイルカと泳ぐのに船からダイブということには私も驚きました。
その為、母は怖がってしまい海に入ることは出来ませんでしたが、
船上からもイルカが確認出来ました。ジャンプしたり回転したりとても可愛いかったです。
私達夫婦はサキさんの合図で飛び込んだ所、真下で10匹の大軍を見ることが出来ました。
間近でみるイルカにはとても興奮しました、

今まで海外でイルカに関する色々なツアーに参加しましたが
野生のイルカが海の中で泳ぐ姿をみたのは初めてでしたので、良い経験が出来ました。
またたくさんの亀も見ることが出来ました。

亀は両親もサキさんの助けを借りて近くまで見に行くことが出来ました。

サキさんはじめドルフィン＆ユーのスタッフ皆さんにはとてもよくしていただき本当に感謝です。本当にとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は夫婦で参加したいと思います。

ツアーの最後で撮った写真が皆笑顔でこのツアーの楽しさがわかると思います。
このハッピーさが伝わるといいなと思い写真投稿します。

ドルフィン＆ユー　最高です
