Departing from Waikiki Beach is unusual. ワイキキビーチ出発は珍しい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.

On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.

Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.

It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.

アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。

当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。

また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。

午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。

友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter. The staff members were very good at Japanese and many were very caring, so my daughter was very satisfied.

It was my first time seeing dolphins and sea turtles up close! I was moved. The performance by the staff and the captain was excellent and fun.

The hula lesson in the great outdoors was also very pleasant and I was very satisfied.

For those worried about seasickness, it seems advisable to bring motion sickness medication.

５歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
スタッフの方々が、日本語が上手でとっても子煩悩な方が多かったので娘も大満足でした。

イルカやウミガメを近くで見たのは初めて！感動しました。

Jin is wonderful!!! ジン君素敵！！！

Reviewed by: mariannnu

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.

At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.

As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!

Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!

The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.

Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆

After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.

And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆

The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).

When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.

In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).

As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!

It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆

現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。

初めは日本人だけかと思いきや、欧米の方達も色々いて、
すごくワクワクしました。
船の中は清潔でトイレもきれいでした。

出発すると、すぐにキャプテンが英語で説明してくれて、わかんないやこりゃ(#^.^#)と思っていたら、なんと！！！
日本人より流暢と言っていいほどの日本語を話す（しかもイケメン）ジン君が登場！！
「え~、日本人の方いますか~？」
って、キュン殺＆超うけました！！

そのおかげで、安心して楽しめると確信！！

沖のほうは海がすっごく綺麗で、青色が場所によって違って、風も気持ち良いし、帰りたくない！！と出発したばかりなのに、思ってしまうほど。


そうこうしてるうちに、イルカが見えてきて、しかも次々に！！！
しまいには、２０匹以上かと言うくらいの大群が船のすぐ傍をずっと泳いでいて、かなり可愛くて、大満足☆


その後、シュノーケリングでは海がめや魚達と一緒に泳いで、自分も魚になったような気分でいました。
シュノーケリングの後はかなり寒かったのですが、ちゃんと温かいお湯の出るシャワーが４つもあり、温まる事ができました。


そして、いよいよlunch☆
lunchの準備中、またまたジン君がチキンの事を
「イルカ食べるの初めてです？」
とかいう、冗談言うもんだから、
めちゃびっくりして、大笑いしました☆

lunchがまたおいしくて、いっぱい食べちゃいました(*^_^*)

友達が少し船酔いしていると、ジン君が気づいて、
「大丈夫ですか？」
と、気遣ってくれて、色々アドバイスくれたので、助かりました。気が利く子です。


最後にジン君と写真撮影して、泣く泣く帰りました(__)

Reviewed by: 関野

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.

イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の４にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

I participated in the Christmas season last month. Since it was winter, the sea was a bit rough, but it was such an amazing tour that I didn't mind at all. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they were really close! I was also surprised to see a whale for the first time! The staff were incredibly kind, which warmed my heart. The taro burger for lunch was delicious—I want to eat it again! The hula instructor was also very entertaining, making it a tour that any Hawaii lover would enjoy, allowing you to truly experience Hawaii. I've participated in other dolphin tours, but I think Dolphin and You is by far the best. Honestly, the quality of the staff and the content is unmatched compared to other dolphin tours. If you're looking for a satisfying tour, I absolutely recommend it!!!

先月クリスマスシーズンに参加しました。
冬ということで海はちょっと荒れ気味？だったけど、そんなこと気にならないくらい、超最高のツアーでした。イルカもたくさん見れたし、本当近かったです。クジラも初めて見てビックリしました！スタッフの皆さんもすごく親切で、心があったかくなりました♪ランチのタロイモのハンバーガー美味しかった~！また食べたいです。フラの先生もとっても面白くてハワイ好きにはたまらない、ハワイをしっかり体感できるツアーです。
他のイルカツアーも参加したことあるけど、やっぱりドルフィンアンドユーがダントツ一番と思います。正直、他のイルカのツアーと比べ物にならないくらい、スタッフも内容も質が高いです。
満足いくツアーを求めるなら絶対お勧めです！！！

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!

私は泳ぐことができなく、楽しめるのかな？船の上からでもちゃんとイルカが見れるのかな？と心配でした。
しかし！船の上からでもきちんとイルカに出会う事ができました。しかもイルカの群れ！

海中に潜ることはできませんでしたが、間近でイルカの群れを見れたり、カヤックにのったり、キャプテンが船上でハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、クルーの人達がフラを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いてくれたりととても充実した時間を送ることができました。泳げない人でも十分にハワイの海を楽しめるツアーでした。

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!

今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で３回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ！

Reviewed by: Hiroe

I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!

While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!

A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!

It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪

After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.

The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.

Thank you for this precious experience!

初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました！

ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです！合計で２０~３０頭くらいかな？中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも！よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ！！！

今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪

その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング！ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。

Dolphins and turtles. イルカもカメも

Reviewed by: azugon

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.

Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.

We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.

I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.

今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール３ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal.

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。（これは運が悪かった）

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、

We participated as a family of four on Christmas Day. This has been our annual tradition of traveling to Hawaii for the past ten years, and for the last two or three years, we had been really interested in the dolphin tour. I'm so glad we decided to sign up this time. My daughters (22 and 20 years old) were truly thrilled to see such cute dolphins so close... They were really impressed, saying it was a tour that perfectly matched the name Dolphin You "Dolphins and Me"! When we got on the boat, it was incredibly cold, but the warm hospitality from the staff and the delicious cheese taro burgers we had, along with sweet cakes for Christmas, made us feel pampered. Everyone was very satisfied with Dolphin You. If we have the chance, we would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much.

This time, my husband and our sons, who are in first and sixth grade, participated. They seemed very happy to see a pod of wild dolphins up close, which they had been looking forward to. They were also impressed by the sea turtles, beautiful fish, and the clear ocean. They happily talked about how delicious the hamburger made with taro bread was, which they ate on the boat, and how they danced the hula after getting off the boat.

During this trip, I let the kids experience various activities, but the most fun thing they both said was the "dolphin tour!" I'm glad we participated.

今回、夫と小１・小６の息子たちが参加しました。
楽しみにしていた野生のイルカの群れを間近に見ることができて、とてもうれしかったようです。
また、海ガメやきれいな魚たち、透き通った海に感動していました。
また、船の上で食べたタロイモのパンで作ったハンバーガーがとても美味しかった事、船を降りてからフラダンスを踊ったことを楽しそうに話してくれました。

今回の旅行では子供達にいろいろ体験させたのですが、一番楽しかったことは「イルカツアー！」と二人揃って言っていました。参加させてよかったと思います。

It was a wonderful experience! すばらしい体験でした！

Despite the poor conditions, I was able to encounter many dolphins, and it was really fun. I could see that all the staff were making great efforts to ensure the participants enjoyed themselves. I was a bit nervous since I easily get seasick and can't swim, but the friendly atmosphere created by the staff, the encounters with the dolphins and turtles, and the delicious hamburgers made it a wonderful experience! I'm glad I participated. If I have the opportunity next time, I would like to join again in good weather conditions during a better season.

条件の悪い中でしたが、
たくさんのイルカと出会うことができて、
とっても楽しかったです。
スタッフの皆さんいずれも参加者を楽しまそうと
大変努力してくださっているのが良くわかりました。
船に酔いやすく泳げない私は多少緊張してましたが、
スタッフの皆さんの和やかな雰囲気とイルカやカメとの遭遇
それに美味しいハンバーガーで
ずいぶんと楽しませていただきました！
参加してよかったです。
次回機会があれば天候のよいシーズンによい条件の中でもう一度参加してみたいです。

It was moving!! 感動～!!

Reviewed by: Kailani

I had been curious about the tour where you can swim with dolphins for a long time. Previously, I participated in a "dolphin watching tour" where I could only see dolphins from a boat. It was enjoyable, but just watching felt a bit unsatisfying, so I definitely wanted to join a tour where I could swim with dolphins next time.

After considering various tours, I was drawn to this one not only because you can swim with dolphins, but also because it includes a "chant" (prayer) before entering the water and hula lessons, allowing me to experience Hawaiian culture. I decided to sign up. I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but once I got into the water, I forgot all about that, and when I saw the dolphins up close, all my worries disappeared!

They picked me up early in the morning from a nearby hotel, and after about an hour, I was moved by the sunrise over Diamond Head that I could see from the car. My anticipation for the tour grew. As soon as we arrived at the harbor, we boarded the boat. The staff welcomed us with ukulele music. After chanting and offering flowers to the sea, dolphins quickly gathered around the boat, and we jumped into the water right away.

I was truly amazed to see dolphins swimming so close! There were about 30 of them, including mother and baby dolphins. The water was beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom just with snorkeling. At that time, I was also able to see honu (sea turtles) and rays!

On the boat, the staff entertained us with various performances.

This experience will definitely be unforgettable in my life. I truly felt it was worth participating.

ずっ~と前から気になっていたイルカと一緒に泳げるツアー。
以前、単なる船上からイルカを見る「イルカウォッチングのツアー」に参加した事があったのですが、楽しくはあったけど、見るだけではなんだか物足りなさを感じ、次回は絶対自分も一緒にイルカと泳げるツアーに参加したいと思っていました。
そして色々なツアーを検討した結果、こちらのツアーの、イルカと一緒に泳げるのはもちろん、海に入る前に「チャント(お祈り)」をするところや、フラレッスン等、ハワイの文化にも触れられる事に魅力を感じ、申し込みする事に決めました。
今回は一人での参加で楽しめるのかどうか不安もありましたが、実際に海に入ってしまえばそんな事は気にならず、イルカを目の前にしたら、そんな不安も吹き飛びました!

早朝近くのホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、そこから約１時間、
途中、車の中から見えたダイアモンドヘッドの朝焼けにも感動。これからのツアーの期待が膨らみました。
港に着きすぐに乗船。スタッフがウクレレを演奏し私達を迎えてくれました。
そして、チャントを唱えお花を海に捧げると、すぐにイルカ達が船の周りに集まっていて、早速海に飛び込みます。

本当に間近をイルカ達が泳いでいるのに感動!!
しかも30頭ぐらいの大群。親子のイルカもいました。
海も綺麗で、シュノーケルだけでも充分海の底まで見えます。
この時は、イルカの他にホヌ(海亀)や、エイなども見ることができました!!

船上でも、スタッフの方達が色々なパフォーマンスをしてくれ、私たちを楽しませてくれました。

この感動は、人生の中でも忘れられないものになると思います。
本当に参加して良かったと思いました。

Absolutely! Highly recommended!! 絶対！オススメ！！

Reviewed by: Yoshimi

You absolutely have to participate!! For everyone going to Hawaii!!

Even if you're hesitant because of the price, you will have an experience that is worth it, or even more than that. Don't worry if you can't speak English! It's fine to go alone!! By the way, this is my fifth time participating, and it was my first time going alone, but I thought I want to go again. Of course, I can't speak English. But I was able to communicate a lot with the boat staff and had a great time.

I definitely encountered dolphins all five times. This time, the dolphin was a bottlenose dolphin, which is different from the spinner dolphins I swam with before, but it was so impressive!! We made eye contact underwater!! They were looking at me, glancing back and forth♪ Not just one, but many!! It was moving. I could clearly hear the dolphins' voices too.

As a bonus, there is a dedicated photographer on board, so they capture great photos on the boat and underwater. It's a separate fee for purchasing, but it's the perfect keepsake for memories!!

This tour is something you can truly enjoy, whether with family, a partner, friends, or even alone like I did!! If you have even a little interest, you absolutely have to go; otherwise, you'll miss out on life!!!

　絶対に参加するべきですよ！！ハワイに行かれる皆さん！！

お値段で躊躇してしまった方もそれに見合った、いやそれ以上の体験ができます。
英語ができなくっても大丈夫！一人でも大丈夫！！
ちなみに今回で私は５回目の参加で初の一人でしたが、また行こうって思いました。もちろん英語はできません。でもボートスタッフの方ともたくさんコミュニケーションとれて楽しい時間が過ごせました。

５回全部確実にイルカちゃんに遭遇しましたよ。
今回のイルカちゃんは今まで一緒に泳いだスピナーちゃんとは種類が違うバンドーイルカちゃんでしたが、迫力満点！！海の中で目が合うの！！こっちを、ちらっちらっって♪１頭じゃなくって何頭も！！感動でした。イルカちゃん達の声もしっかり聞えるし。

おまけに、専属カメラマンさんが同乗しているのでボートの上での写真や海の中での写真などしっかり抑えてくれてます。購入する形なので別料金が必要ですが思い出には最高の品ですよ！！

家族と恋人と友達とはもちろん今回の私みたいに一人でも心から楽しめるTourですよーー！！
少しでも興味をもった方は絶対に行かないと人生損です！！！

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Very cool experience

Reviewed by: Lisa B

I had never snorkeled before and they really walked you through everything. Got to see lots of neat fish, no dolphins however. We did see several turtles. Weather was a bit spotty and we were in some pretty good size swells. I don't know that I would recommend this for smaller children. They have spotters in the water, but it is open ocean and alot can happen,

This time, we came to Hawaii as a family for a wedding. We thought about doing some family activities, so we participated in a tour with Dolphin and You. I was a bit anxious since we had my 4-year-old nephew with us, but he was very happy to ride in a kayak and see dolphins up close, which relieved me!

There were many dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish swimming nearby, and it was very moving. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making it a really enjoyable activity. The BBQ burgers they grilled on the boat were also very delicious. The hula lesson was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Hawaii.

Additionally, they offered to sell a DVD and a photo CD-ROM, and when I got home and looked at the photos, they turned out beautifully, which was truly moving again.

今回は結婚式のために家族でハワイにきました。何か家族でアクティビティーが出来ないかと思い今回ドルフィンアンドユーさんのツアーに参加しました。4歳の甥っ子もいたので少し不安でもありましたが、カヤックに乗せてもらって近くでいるかも見ることが出来とても喜んでいた様子でほっとしました！

近くでイルカや海がめ熱帯魚もたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。またスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでこまめに気を使っていただきとても楽しいアクティビティーとなりました。船の上で焼いてもらったBBQバーガーもとっても美味しかったです。ﾌﾗのレッスンもとても楽しかったです。
ハワイに行かれる方にはかなりおすすめのツアーでした。

あと、DVDと写真のCD-ROMを販売していただけたのですが、家に帰って写真をみてすごくきれいにうつっていてまた改めて感動しました。

It was delicious. おいしかったです。

Reviewed by: nasu

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming gracefully in the vast ocean up close, and I was excited beyond my years. Additionally, the hamburger made by the captain was incredibly delicious. I can't forget that taste! (*^^*) On the boat, there was a live ukulele performance, and the staff were friendly and engaging, making it a lot of fun. The relaxing atmosphere was soothing. I also enjoyed hula for the first time, and under the cheerful guidance of the instructor, it was truly delightful.

広い海の中で悠々と泳いでる野生のイルカをまじかで見ることが出来て年甲斐も無く興奮しました。と、共に・・・船長さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。あの味が忘れられません(*^^*)！船上では、生のウクレレ演奏があったり、スタッフさん達が気さくに話しかけてくれたりカメラマンさんとても楽しくって。リラックスの出来る雰囲気に和みました。初めてのフラも、陽気な先生の楽しい指導のもと、すご~くなごみました~。
