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。

I was more moved by the turtles than the dolphins. イルカよりカメに感動

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♪

Reviewed by: ムンポコ

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...

昼間のスノーケリング付きのツアーに参加しました。ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを海から眺めながらウミガメと一緒に1時間程スノーケリング、忘れられない思い出になりました。船上ではスナックやお酒（別料金）が用意してありスノーケルの後のクルージングタイムも楽しめます。突然決めたツアーにしてはとても有意義な時間が過ごせたと思います。値段は少しお高めですが…

We saw several amazing turtles and schools of fish. The crew was great - one member stayed by my son in the water until he was comfortable, and then dove down to get cool stuff off the sea floor to show him. The sailing portion was a blast. They let my son drive the boat which will be an awesome memory for him. I would definately do this again.

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Linda

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

Reviewed by: Kaoru & Nobu

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

I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.

Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.

They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.

It was truly a generous experience.

It felt as if they were inviting us.

They showed no signs of fear towards us.

During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.

今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、

楽しみにしていました。朝５時に起き眠い目をこすりながら

ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。

ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。

まさに感動ものでした。

水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね

まさに、大サービスです。

まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。

我々をを怖がる様子もなく。

The Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani was a great snorkeling adventure. On my trip we saw 5 turtles. I was very impressed by the snorkel guides knowledge of the turtles and where to go to see turtles. While in the water they pretty much gave you the ability to swim freely and explore the cannel. If you swam or drifted to far the snorkel guide would keep an eye on you and ask you to swim in. I felt very safe and knew that if anything happened the boat crew and snorkel guide would be there immediately. I would also like to give the boat crew an appreciation shout out for picking up beach balls and trash that were floating in the ocean. I am very pleased to see that they our environment. If you are looking for a relaxing snorkel adventure where you can see sea creatures in their natural habitat I would definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani.

The content is average considering the high price. 価格が高い割に内容は普通

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり（その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない）、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Snorkeling and Turtle Spotting with supplied lunch

Reviewed by: Mark

We were delighted with this activity.

Nick the Captain and his 2 crew were excellent hosts, safety conscious and went out of their way to make the cruise enjoyable for the 2 couples on board. Normally there would be a few more people on the cruise but we lucked it that day

The cruise consists of a 15-20 minute cruise in a catamaran to an area well off Waikiki Beach known as a spot where Turtles come to have parasites removed by fish.

We then went snorkeling (flotation vests supplied and mandatory to use). One of the 3 crew on board was in the water acting as a guide and safety person. He quickly located some turtles and directed us to them. We saw numerous turtles, some small, some larger in the water below us and on the surface.

After the snorkeling we had the supplied lunch, basic but adequate although the bread rolls were a bit stale. Free soft drinks and 2 free alcoholic drinks if you wanted them included.

Then the crew set the sails and we cruised around up towards Diamond Head before heading back to port. All up a great trip and worth doing, recommended.

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.

シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので　体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました！！ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も　安心して参加できた事だと
思いました。船上で食べたバーガーも美味しかった、本当に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.

Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.

Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.

On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!

　仕事仲間１０人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
　朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド（２０ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入）も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
　泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
　クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
　また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Good

It was a good sailing and snorkeling activity.
It could be better with some more time snorkeling and maybe in different places with more fish variety.

Excellent

Reviewed by: Angela

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!
