This time, I signed up for this tour because I wanted to meet dolphins. It was my parents' first trip to Hawaii (their second overseas trip), and my mother was nervous because she couldn't swim, but the staff were very kind and made it enjoyable for us. Their attention to detail was excellent, and both my parents and we had a great time. My father was moved to see dolphins and many colorful fish up close while snorkeling. We were also very happy to see our parents enjoying themselves!!
We had experience diving and swimming with dolphins before, but meeting dolphins is something we can enjoy no matter how many times we do it! The cheeseburgers made by the captain were also very delicious.
今回、イルカに会いたくてこのツアーに申し込みました。両親も始めてのハワイ旅行(海外2回目)で、母は泳げず緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しませてくれ、心配りも最高で、両親も私たちもとても楽しむことができました。父は、イルカやシュノーケルでたくさんのカラフルな魚を近くで見て、感動していました。私たちもそんな両親の姿をみてとてもうれしかったです!!
私たちはダイビングをしたり、イルカとも一緒に泳いだ経験がありましたが、イルカに会うのは何度経験しても楽しめるものでした!!船長さんが作ってくれた、チーズバーガーもとてもおいしかったです。

I had only moderate expectations for this tour, wondering if I would even get to see dolphins. I apologize for underestimating it!
From the moment we boarded, the staff was energetic, and after a brief prayer for our journey, dolphins appeared almost immediately! My 6-year-old son, who was snorkeling for the first time, dashed down the boat's stairs and jumped into the sea. We saw dolphins spinning on the surface, and underwater, there was a dolphin right in front of us... doing its business?! Before we knew it, our child had paddled far away in a kayak.
The clarity of the water, the proximity and number of dolphins, the variety of fish, and the staff's service (not just energetic but also kind and attentive) were all top-notch!
I participated in a snorkeling tour at a different location on another day, but none of those experiences could compare to this one. The hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious. Even the "hula lesson," which I thought would be just a bonus, turned out to be quite enjoyable. My swimsuit dried nicely too!
It's undeniable that this trip created the most fun memories for our entire family.
イルカに会えるかな~、程度の期待だったこのツアー。
軽くみてました ゴメンナサイ(#^_^#)
乗船からノリノリのスタッフ、旅立ちの祈りもそこそこに
もうイルカが出現!!
シュノーケリング初体験の6歳の息子まで、船の階段を駆け下りて海に飛び込んでました。
海面では複数でイルカスピン!!海の中では目の前でイルカがウンチ??
子どもは、いつの間にかカヤックではるか彼方に・・・。
水のキレイさ、イルカとの距離の近さ・数、魚の種類の多さ、スタッフの対応(ノリだけじゃなく、親切でいきとどいてました)
どれをとっても最高ヾ(@⌒∇⌒@)ノ
別の日に異なる場所でのシュノーケリングツアーにも参加しましたが、上記のいずれも点数は下がります。
船の上でいただいたハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。
おまけ程度に考えていた「フラレッスン」も、結構楽しめました。水着も乾いたし♪
家族全員が、この旅行で一番楽しかった思い出となったのは間違いありません。

I went on this cruise with a few of my friends, and it was worth every penny. It was one of the best things that we did in Hawaii. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and we found schools of both spinner and bottlenosed dolphins. The crew took the time to share their knowledge of these gorogeous creatures and the captain made sure to stay with them long enough that every single person on the cruise got plenty of great pictures. Then came the snorkleing which was both unique and beatuiful. They fed the fish which allowed all of us to see the beautiful sea life up close and personal. We even saw sea turtle. On the way back the food was fantastic and the ride on the boat was just perfect. I would recommend this to anyway. We went on the 11:30 cruise and i think the dinner cruise would be fantastic as well. Great time, and highly recommeneded.

It was so much fun! That's definitely my impression. Swimming with a pod of dolphins is an experience you can't easily have. Since returning to Japan, I've been showing photos to all my friends and recommending it. If you go to Hawaii, you must do this! The Japanese and local staff were all very kind, which was a big plus. It was also a wonderful memory to pray together and dance the hula in Hawaii. Looking at the photos still makes me smile, as everyone in Hawaii is so cheerful. Thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, the travel felt quick and effortless, and even though it was my seventh time on Oahu, it was my first time in West Oahu, which was great. I really understood that Oahu is not just about Waikiki, the North Shore, or Hanauma Bay. The ocean surrounding the island is beautiful from every direction. It was also great to swim with sea turtles, not just dolphins. The water clarity was higher than that of the Red Sea or Caribbean, and there are unique tropical fish in Hawaii, so it never gets boring. You absolutely must participate!
楽しかった!絶対参加すべき!ってのが私の感想です。イルカの群と泳ぐ経験はなかなかできるもんじゃありません~。日本に帰ってから友達みんなに写真を見せてお薦めしています。ハワイに行ったら是非!日本人やローカルのスタッフもみんな親切だったのも二重丸。一緒にハワイのお祈りしたり、フラダンスを踊ったのも素敵な思い出です。ハワイの人ってみんな陽気だな~って写真見ながら今でも顔が笑ってしまいます。スタッフのテンションのお陰で移動もあっと言う間で何とも感じなかったし、オアフ島7回目の私も西オアフは初めてだったのでそこも良かったなあ。オアフ島はワイキキやノースショアやハナウマベイだけじゃないってことがよーく分かりました。四方を囲んでいる海は東西南北どこも素敵ってことでした。それとイルカだけじゃなくて海亀と一緒に泳げたのも良かったです。透明度は紅海かカリブ海よりも高かったし、熱帯魚もハワイの固有魚がいるので飽きません。絶対参加すべし!

I participated in this activity in early July 2008. The Japanese female guide was incredibly kind and friendly, which set a fun mood right from the hotel pickup. All the customers were Japanese. We moved west on Oahu in a van that could accommodate about 25 people. It was a comfortable drive, and before I knew it, we arrived. There was a restroom break before boarding the boat, which was great!
Just about 15 minutes after we set off on the boat, we spotted a pod of dolphins! Following our strong local guide, we went snorkeling. At first, the dolphins didn't come close, but after a while, one jumped right in front of us! They swirled around underwater, and it was incredibly exciting. After swimming with the dolphins, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three sea turtles. There were also many beautiful fish. Once we got out of the water, it was time for a hamburger made with taro bread! The scenery was beautiful, and after seeing the dolphins, tropical fish, and sea turtles, I was in the best mood! It was a fulfilling morning. Even after returning to Waikiki, I was still buzzing from the encounter with the dolphins.
2008年7月上旬に参加してきました。ガイドの日本人女性が凄く親切&フレンドリーでホテルの迎えの時点で楽しい気分に。お客さんは全員日本人でした。25人ぐらい乗る事のできるバンでオアフ島の西に移動。快適な運転で外の景色を見ていたらあっと言う間に到着しました。ボートに乗る前にトイレ休憩があったのもGOOD!ボートで出発して僅か15分ぐらいでドルフィンの群が!ローカルのたくましいガイドの後についてシュノーケリングをしました。最初は近くに寄ってこなかったけれど、暫くすると目の前でイルカがジャンプ!水中でもグルグル回って、物凄く興奮しました。イルカと一緒に泳いだ後は、シュノーケリングのポイント。ここで海亀が3匹いました。魚も綺麗でたくさんいました。海から上がるとタロイモのパンでできたハンバーガータイム!景色は綺麗だし、ドルフィンや熱帯魚や海亀を見た後だから気分は最高!充実した午前中でした。ワイキキに戻ってからもドルフィンに出会えた余韻が残ったままでしたよ~。

It was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour! Once we boarded the boat, we prayed to the sea to see dolphins. Each person threw a plumeria flower into the sea to start the tour! As soon as we spotted dolphins, we dove into the water and were able to see the pod right below us. For those who didn't see them the first time, we were allowed to dive again. After that, we had the freedom to swim at a point where there were turtles! We could also go canoeing. During the canoeing, the staff sang songs for us, which was very soothing (o´∀`o). The hula dance instructor also taught us, making it a very fulfilling trip. Thank you so much! ♥
とても楽しく、満足できるツアーでした!
船に乗り込んだら、イルカにあえるように海にお祈りをします。一人ずつプルメリアの花を海に投げてツアーがスタートします!イルカを見つけたらすぐ海に潜り、イルカの群れを真下に見ることができました。一回で見れなかった人のために、二回も潜らせていてだきました。その後も、亀のいるポイントで自由にスイム!また、カヌーもできます。カヌーの最中にスタッフの方が歌を歌ってくれて、とても癒されました(o´∀`o) フラダンスも先生が教えてくださり、とても充実した旅になりました♡ありがとうございました♪

The tour I participated in, filled with excitement and anticipation, was just as I expected. It was my first encounter with wild dolphins. I was so captivated that I tried to mimic their unique sounds, and it felt like a mystical experience. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where I encountered a sea turtle that was incredibly cute and soothing. I also got to ride on a sea kayak and observe tropical fish while snorkeling. Just when I was exhausted from playing and feeling very hungry, the smell of pâté being grilled wafted from the boat, which was just perfect! I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
ワクワクドキドキで参加した今回のツアーは期待通りのグレイとなツアーでした。初めての野生のドルフィンとの遭遇。夢中になって姿を覆ったりイルカ特有の鳴き声を真似してみたりw何だか神秘的な体験でした。そのあとシュノーケリングのポイントに移動して出会った海亀もとってもかわいくてのほほんと癒されたし、シーカヤックに乗せてもらったりシュノーケリングで熱帯魚を観察したり、遊び疲れてお腹ぺこぺこになったくらいにちょうど船の上からパテを焼く香りが漂ってもう最高!またハワイに行った際にはぜひ参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my daughter, and when we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat, I couldn't help but point my camera at them. We also fed fish, and colorful fish gathered around us; it was truly a dream-like experience.
I tend to get seasick easily, so I felt a bit unwell during the trip and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the hamburger. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. Also, don't forget your underwater camera.
During the hula dance lesson, we had a lot of fun laughing together. It was such an enjoyable lesson that it could inspire someone to start hula dancing. With everything packed into half a day, I have no complaints.
娘と二人で参加したのですが、イルカの群れを船上から発見したときは思わずカメラを向けてしまいました。他にも魚にパンをあげて色とりどりの魚が寄ってきたり、本当に夢のような時間でした。
私は船酔いがしやすいので、途中ちょっと具合が悪くなってしまったので、せっかくのハンバーガーを食べれなかったのが残念です。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めは必須です。あと、水中カメラをお忘れなく。
フラダンスのレッスンでは、笑いを交えながら皆で楽しく受けることができました。フラダンスを始めるきっかけになるような、そんな楽しいレッスンでした。

I encountered wild dolphins for the first time on this tour. Although I missed them the first time, I was able to see them successfully at the next spot. Additionally, at the following point, I was able to see sea turtles as well, so overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.
However, I felt that putting on the snorkeling gear and swimming multiple times was a bit physically demanding.
The hamburgers and mangoes we had on the boat were perfect for my tired body.
I think the final hula dance lesson, taught by a local instructor, was a wonderful time filled with laughter.
このツアーで初めて野生のイルカと出会いました。一度目は失敗してしまいましたが、次のポイントで無事見ることができました。また、その次のポイントでは海ガメも見ることができたのでツアー全体としてはとても満足でした。
しかし、何度もシュノーケリングを装着したり、泳いだりするのは体力的にもちょっと大変だった気もします。
船上で食べるハンバーガーとマンゴーは疲れた身体に最適でした。
最後のフラダンスのレッスンは、現地の先生に教えてもらうことができ、笑いのたえないとても素敵な時間を過ごすことができてよかったと思います。

I apologize for the delay in my post. In March, my husband, my daughter (who is 8 years old), and I participated in the snorkeling activity. It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.
There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.
The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.
The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.
We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.
Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.
The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.
I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.
2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。
総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。
キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。
ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。
お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。
シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。
ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。
イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!
朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です!!
イルカの群れを1m以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇! 船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード! また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとDVDで編集して翌日には渡してくれます! これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります! ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです! 絶対お勧めのツアーです! 少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です!!

It was an early morning departure from a still chilly start, but when we reached the point, we were able to see an unexpected pod of dolphins even from the boat. There were mother and baby dolphins, and dolphins jumping out of the water.
Due to the sea conditions that day, we ended up sitting on the ladder of the boat and peering into the water for dolphin watching, but we were able to see the dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close, which was truly moving.
After moving to a calm spot, we enjoyed plenty of snorkeling and encountered colorful fish and sea turtles. We also had fun playing with the kayak we brought on board, and the hamburgers and pineapples we ate on the boat were delicious!
The staff were all fun and considerate, keeping the participants engaged! I entrusted the camera to a local staff member for underwater dolphin photos, and we got a lot of great shots (laughs).
Finally, we even had a hula lesson, making it a wonderful experience. Despite being such a packed tour, it ended in half a day, allowing us to spend a meaningful day.
まだ肌寒い早朝からのの出航でしたが、ポイントに着くと、思いがけないほどのイルカの群れが船の上からでも確認できました。親子イルカや、海上にジャンプするイルカ・・。
この日は海のコンディションにより、船にかけたハシゴに腰掛け、水のなかに顔をつっこんでのドルフィンウォッチングとなりましたが、船と併走して泳ぐイルカ達の様子を、本当に間近で見ることができ、感動です。
また、穏やかな場所に移動してから、たっぷりシュノーケリングもして、色とりどりの魚や海がめにも出会えました。他にも、船に積んできたカヤックで遊んだり、船上で食べたハンバーガーやパイナップルも美味しかったです☆
スタッフが全員楽しく、気遣いのある方ばかりで、参加者を飽きさせません!

It was early in the morning, so I was a bit sleepy, but our local guide, YURIKO, greeted us with such brightness and energy. On the bus, she explained the activities in a fun and easy-to-understand way while playing a DVD, and before we knew it, we arrived at the port! On the boat, there were crew members and coincidentally, a reporter and photographer from a Japanese Hawaii magazine, so we boarded with a large group and set sail! We explored the beautiful sea at dawn while searching for dolphins. Just when we were feeling a bit disappointed because we couldn't find any dolphins, we spotted a whale spouting! After that, dolphins were still elusive, so we temporarily stopped the boat to experience snorkeling in a spot known for its abundant tropical fish! It was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the beautiful, colorful tropical fish, starfish, and sea urchins. Just then, a large group of dolphins swam right by us!!! Everyone's excitement skyrocketed, and we made a U-turn towards the direction the dolphins were swimming. I struggled a bit with snorkeling since it was my first time and fell behind. However, the staff quickly noticed and kindly supported me. Just as I was catching my breath and getting ready to go, the dolphins came over, and I was able to swim alongside them up close. When I dove into the water, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins, which was truly moving! I also saw a sea turtle, and at the end, there was a beautiful rainbow! On top of that, there was a double rainbow, which is said to bring good luck☆ The crew and the photographer were all smiles, saying that such a thing is rare. I definitely want to see everyone again! Thank you, YURIKO and all the crew members!
朝早かったので少し眠かったのですが、現地ガイドのYURIKOさんがとっても明るく元気に出迎えてくれました。バスの中ではアクティビティの内容を分り易く楽しくDVDを流しながら説明してくださりあっという間に港に到着!船にはクルーとたまたま日本のハワイ雑誌の取材の記者とカメラマンが来ており大所帯で乗り込みいざ出航!まだ朝焼けが綺麗な海をイルカを探しながらあちこち回りました。なかなかイルカが見つからず少し落胆してきたら偶然鯨の潮吹きが!その後もイルカはなかなか現れず、一旦船を止めて熱帯魚がたくさんいるという場所でシュノーケリングを体験!初体験でしたがすごく綺麗で色とりどりの熱帯魚や、ひとで、うになどを見れて感動してると・・・イルカの大群が真横を横切りました!!!みんな一気にテンションが上がりイルカの泳ぐ方向へUターン。私は始めてのシュノーケリングでうまく進めず疲れて遅れをとってしまいました。でもすぐにスタッフの方が気づいてくれて優しくサポートしてくださり、息が整っていざ向かおうとしたらイルカがこっちへ来てくれてすぐ近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。海に潜るとイルカの「きゅーきゅー」と言う可愛い鳴き声が聞けて本当に大感動でした!ウミガメも見れて最後には綺麗な虹が!その上に更に虹がかかり幸運を招くというダブルレインボウに☆こんなことは珍しいよと、クルーとカメラマンもニコニコ笑顔でした。またみんなに絶対会いたいです!ありがとうYURIKOさん&クルーの皆様!

海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカもお魚もたくさん見ることができました。私たちはカヤックに乗っているとき偶然海がめにも出会えたんですよ!!本当ラッキー。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、フラレッスンも楽しかったですし、このツアーに参加してよかったです。リピーターになること間違いなしですね。
と、写真もたくさん撮ったのですが、やはり上手には写っていなかったので少し残念でした。

My girlfriend and I went on your dolphin adventure today on the Kai 'Oli'Oli and we had an amazing time! The sites and food were superb and the staff was very pleasant. The two instructors and or hosts Yoko and Pat did a spectacular job making you feel like you were at home. We will recommend this to all of our friends in Philadelphia when they come to visit.

This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.
今回、初めてドルフィン&ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対!ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。

My spouse and I participated in this tour. When I asked my wife, "What do you want to do in Hawaii?" she replied, "I want to see dolphins!! I want to see sea turtles (honu)!!" So, we signed up for this tour.
My wife, who gets seasick easily, seemed a bit anxious, but we brought motion sickness medication from Japan, and once she took it, she was totally fine. (Even if you forget, no worries! Motion sickness medication is sold at the shop in Ko Olina Marina.) Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, we encountered dolphins! It was so healing. The dolphins, curious about everything, quickly approached us, jumping around and showing various expressions.
Next, we snorkeled and met honu and various colorful tropical fish... Four honu swam gracefully by. The fish came so close that we could almost touch them. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.
After that, it was snack time. Everyone enjoyed their meals on the deck or wherever they liked. The kalua pig was delicious.
The boat had a cabin, making it very comfortable! It also had a restroom, which was very reassuring. I had previously gone on another tour to see dolphins, and I remembered feeling cold when coming out of the water due to the sea breeze. However, I didn't feel too cold inside the cabin, but I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt just in case.
It was a blissful time for my wife and me that flew by. I want to see dolphins again...
夫婦で参加させていただきました。家内に「ハワイで何したい?」と聞いたところ、「イルカに会いたい!!ウミガメ(ホヌ)に会いたい!!」との返事で、このツアーに申し込みました。
船酔いのひどい家内は多少不安だったみたいですが、日本から酔い止め薬を持参し、薬を飲めば、全然大丈夫でした。(忘れても大丈夫!!コオリナマリーナの売店で酔い止め薬を売ってますよ)マリーナを出て、30分もしないうちにイルカとご対面!!いや~、癒されます。いろんなものに興味津々のイルカたちはすぐに近寄って来てくれて、飛び跳ねたり、いろんな表情を見せてくれました。
イルカの次はシュノーケルでホヌやいろんな色の熱帯魚とご対面。。。優雅に4匹のホヌが泳いでました。手に取れるくらい魚たちが近寄ってきてくれました。防水カメラを持って行かれることをおすすめします。
その後、軽食の時間。船の甲板や思い思いの場所でみなさん、食事されてました。カルアピックがうまかったです。
船はキャビン付きの船なので、すごく快適!!トイレも付いてるのですごく安心。以前、別のツアーでイルカを見に行ったことがあったのですが、その時は海から上がると海風が冷たく感じ、寒い思いをしたことがあったのですが、キャビン内にいるとあまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、長袖一枚もって行かれることをおすすめします。
あっという間のうちら夫婦にとって至福の時間でした。
また、イルカに会いたいなぁ~。。。

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, making for a very satisfying tour. The sky, the sea, and the greenery were all beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. During snorkeling, I got a bit seasick and felt a little unwell, but it was an emotional experience throughout. The breakfast was also very delicious, and if I hadn't been feeling sick, I could have eaten as much as I wanted.
イルカにも会え、海がめにも会え、かなり満足なツアーとなりました。
空を海と緑、全てが美しくシャッターを切りまくりました。
シュノーケリンングでは、波酔いしてしまい、少し気分が悪くなってしまいましたがとにかく感動の連続でした。
朝食も大変美味しく、酔ってなかったらいくらでも食べれそうでした。

On September 22, I participated in an early morning cruise with friends.
About 30 minutes after boarding the ship, we spotted a pod of dolphins! At first, they swam a little distance away, but gradually they came closer to the boat, and to our surprise, one dolphin swam alongside the bow of the ship! We were thrilled to see the lively dolphins up close from right above the bow. We were able to watch them for quite a while. We even managed to capture on video a dolphin jumping while spinning, which made us very satisfied. Ah, dolphins are such beautiful creatures! They are so healing!
Just as we were basking in that excitement, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles underwater, but I was surrounded by tropical fish, which was also very soothing. Swimming in the clear ocean felt amazing. After snorkeling, it was time for the much-anticipated lunch. The kalua pig was delicious! I couldn't help but go back for seconds.
The ship was spacious and clean, equipped with restrooms, and thankfully, there were hot water showers available. (It felt really nice after snorkeling since my body was cold.) The guide, who spoke Japanese almost perfectly, provided very thorough explanations, which was great. If I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate once more. Next time, I’ll go for the deluxe option!
9月22日、早起きクルーズに友達と参加しました。
船に乗ってから30分くらいたったでしょうか、いました!イルカの群れ!
最初は少し離れたところを泳いでいましたが、だんだんと船に近づいてきて、
なんと船首の先をイルカが船に寄り添うように泳いでくれました!
私達は船首の真上から、その生き生きとしたイルカの姿を間近で見れて大感激でした。
結構長いこと見れました。
無事、スピンしながらジャンプするイルカもビデオにおさめることができて大満足。
あ~イルカってなんて美しい動物なんでしょう!癒されます!
そんな感動もつかの間、今度は場所を移してシュノーケルです。
私は残念ながら水中で海がめを見ることはできませんでしたが、熱帯魚の群れに囲まれてまた癒されました。
透明度の高い海の中を泳ぐのはとっても気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケルの後は、お待ちかねのランチです。カルアピッグ、おいしかったです!
思わずおかわりをしてしまいました。
船内は広くて清潔で、トイレ完備、ありがたいことに温水シャワーも出ます。
(シュノーケル後は体が冷えているのでとても気持ちよかったです。)
日本語をほぼ完璧に話すガイドさんの丁寧な説明もとても良かったです。
ハワイに来たら、またぜひ参加したいと思います。今度はデラックスで!

At first, I was worried about getting seasick or whether I could really see wild dolphins so easily. However, the boat was very comfortable, and no one got seasick. Luckily, we saw a lot of dolphins, including two different species, and I was completely satisfied.
We first spotted a mother dolphin swimming happily with her baby. They were so adorable. Next, we encountered a group of dolphins (about 6 to 7). They were all very active, jumping around, and it felt like we were watching a dolphin show.
After that, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three turtles, colorful fish, and coral. It felt more like diving than snorkeling. The turtles were quite large and impressive.
After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm coffee, bread, pork, vegetables, and yogurt. It was very delicious after swimming. During our trip, we had a Japanese guide, which made us feel at ease. The weather was cloudy, so it was quite cold after snorkeling. I thought long sleeves would be necessary. In any case, it became a wonderful memory, and I would definitely like to participate again!
最初は、船に酔わないかな?とか、野生のイルカなんてそんなに簡単に見れるのかな?なんて不安もあったのですが、まず船はとっても乗り心地が良く、誰も酔ってる人なんていなかったし、ラッキーにも、イルカはたくさん(しかも2種類も)見れて、もう大満足でした。
イルカは、まずお母さんと赤ちゃんが一緒に仲良く泳いでいるのを発見。とても可愛いらしかったです。次にグループ(6~7頭)のイルカ達に会えました。みんなとっても活発に泳いでいて、ジャンプもしてくれて、まるでイルカショーを見ている感じでした。
その後、シュノーケルスポットに行って、亀は3匹、色とりどりのお魚達に、珊瑚も見れて、シュノーケルと言うよりもダイビングをしたような気分に浸れました。亀もかなり大きい亀達で迫力満点でした。
シュノーケルが終わってから、暖かいコーヒーとパンと豚肉と野菜とヨーグルトを頂きました。一泳ぎの後で、とても美味しかったです。私達の時は、日本人のガイドさんがいたので、安心しました。お天気は曇りだったので、やはりシュノーケル後はかなり寒かったです。長袖は必要かなと思いました。ともかく素晴らしい思い出になりました。また是非参加したいです!

I participated on September 16. The weather was clear, and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for cruising. Although I was worried about seasickness, sitting at the front of the boat on the net, feeling the wind and waves, made those worries disappear.
When the captain guided us to a pod of spinner dolphins, I was even more excited! The staff explained that the name "spinner" comes from their jumping spins. Although I couldn't capture the dolphins jumping repeatedly on camera, their images are etched in my memory. During snorkeling at a different location, I was able to see tropical fish and sea turtles. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were very considerate and made the experience even more enjoyable.
If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the waiting time for the bus transfer and cruising was a bit long, which felt somewhat inefficient.
9月16日に参加しました。当日は快晴、波もおだやかで、絶好のクルージング日和でした。船酔いを心配していたものの、船の先頭のネットの上に座り込み、風と波を受けながら進めば、そんな心配も吹き飛びました。
船長の案内で、ハシナガイルカの群れを見つけたときは、更に大興奮!英語でスピナーと呼ばれる由来が、スピンしながらのジャンプだとスタッフが教えてくれました。私達に見せてくれるかのように、何度も何度もジャンプしてくれるイルカの姿はカメラに収めることは出来ませんでしたが、目に焼きついています。場所を移してのシュノーケリングでは、熱帯魚と海がめを見ることができました。日本語堪能なスタッフが色々気遣ってくれ、また、盛り上げてくれ、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
一つだけ難点を挙げるとすれば、バスでの送迎とクルージングとの待ち時間が長く、少し非効率だと思いました。
