The sea is beautiful, and we had a great time playing in the middle of the ocean at the sandbar, practicing SUP and snorkeling! Guided by the captain, we were healed by sea turtles and beautiful fish; it truly is a heavenly sea! The staff were also bright and friendly, which was the best!
海は綺麗だし、海の真ん中サンドバーでSUPやシュノーケリング練習などして楽しく遊べました!キャプテンの誘導でウミガメさんや綺麗な魚たちに癒されて、ホント天国の海です!スタッフの方々も明るく親切で最高でした!

I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.
自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。
If you get seasick, it's not possible.

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨
朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑 イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました! そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹 船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨
The boat can be quite rocky, so try to look far away and relax. It gets cold when you come out of the water, so bring a windbreaker or a large towel. Enjoy the ocean, anyway!
船はかなり揺れるので、なるべく遠くを見てリラックスしましょう。海から上がると寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーや大きいタオルを持参しましょう。とにかく海を楽しんで!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University, Pon. We also appreciate the five stars. The encounter with dolphins in the ocean, over 1,000 meters deep, amidst the magnificent scenery of West Oahu will be an unforgettable experience! It was great to see not only the dolphins but also the honu and tropical fish! The slide into the ocean, a pride of the Poseidon, is also fun! Thank you for enjoying until the end. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

The emerald green sea looked as if bath salts had been added, and it was very beautiful. The water level was up to my waist, but I've heard that it only goes down to ankle depth about two to three times a year. Snorkeling was optional, and my 75-year-old father tried SAP. I floated comfortably on a floatie, and it felt great! The snorkeling group found the outgoing trip easy and enjoyable, but on the way back, they wanted to walk back across the sandbar but were told to turn around. Swimming against the current was very challenging, but they saw a lot of fish, and it was very beautiful and fun.
まるでバスクリンを入れたかのようなエメラルドグリーンの海がとても綺麗でした。
水面が腰の下までありましたが、聞くところによると、足首まで下がることは年に2〜3回らしいです。

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.
当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.
The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!
日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした!イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか?らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです!
I was fine because I took motion sickness medication. At first, I didn't plan to borrow a wetsuit, but it was cold, so I ended up borrowing one. I think it depends on the weather.

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

The sandbar is simply beautiful. It was my first time paddleboarding, and I had a lot of fun. My husband and I rode a kayak surrounded by the beautiful sea and sky, and we felt so happy. During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish and turtles, and the staff who taught us spoke Japanese, making the explanations clear and thorough, which we appreciated. The drinks, snacks, and spam onigiri were all delicious.
とにかく美しいサンドバー
SUPは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったし、カヤックに夫婦で乗り綺麗な海と空に囲まれてhappyでした。
シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚や亀に会うことができて、教えてくれるスタッフの方も日本語が話せて、説明がわかりやすく丁寧でありがたかったです。
飲み物やスナック、スパムおにぎり、どれも美味しかったです。
If you are sensitive to motion sickness, it's better to take medication beforehand. It's also good to have something to wear when you come out of the sea.
乗り物に弱い方は薬を飲んでからの方がいいです。海からあがった時に羽織るものがあるといいです。

This time in Honolulu, I didn't plan anything in advance, so I searched for various information on-site.
I finally tried "Heavenly Ocean," which I had wanted to visit for a long time!
There were Japanese staff members and staff who could speak Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand, and I felt安心して参加できました(^_^)

This was my second time on a tour swimming with dolphins. The middle school program also has a university option, but this time I chose the middle school. The university boat is equipped with toilets, showers, and various activities, while the middle school uses a speedboat and focuses solely on snorkeling.
The middle school program has a smaller group, which made everything run smoothly and created a homey atmosphere that I really enjoyed. I was moved to see dolphins jumping from the boat. I was also thrilled when dolphins came close to us underwater. During snorkeling time, I was amazed to see so many sea turtles.
I would prefer to go with the middle school program again.
イルカと泳ぐツアーは今回で2回目でした。
イルカ中学には大学もあり、今回は中学にしました。大学の船にはトイレやシャワーとアクティビティが充実、中学はスピードボートでシュノーケル中はシュノーケルのみ。
中学は少人数なのでサクサク進みアットホームな感じで楽しかったです。
船上でもイルカが跳ねたのが見えて感動しました。水中でも近くまでイルカが来てくれて嬉しかったです。シュノーケルタイムも海亀がいっぱいいて感動しました。
私はまた中学がいいです。
If you splash around, the chances of them coming closer are higher. On the boat, there is wind, and wet bodies can get cold easily, so women should take precautions against the cold.
バシャバシャバタ足しなければ、近くに来てくれる確率高いです。
船の上は、風があり濡れた身体は冷えやすいので女性は防寒対策してください。
Aloha! Yoshimi. Thank you for re-enrolling at Dolphin Middle School. I appreciate your comments on the differences between Dolphin Middle School and university.

I originally wanted to go whale watching, but I heard that by April, most whales return to migration, so I chose to do a dolphin swim instead.
To my surprise, within just five minutes of departing the harbor, we spotted two whales breaching! They breached more than ten times, and the staff was just as excited as we were.
Instead of just searching for dolphins, they spent about 30 minutes chasing the whales, allowing everyone to see them, and we were able to capture great videos and photos.
After that, we successfully encountered dolphins, but it seemed there was a baby dolphin, and they were quite cautious, so we couldn't swim together.
The staff flexibly adjusted the program, making it a memorable activity for both my partner and me.
もともとホエールウォッチングがしたかったのですが、4月はほとんど回遊に戻ってしまうと聞いて、ドルフィンスイムを選んでいました。
なんと!港を出発して5分も経たないうちにブリーチングしている2頭の鯨を発見!
ブリーチングも10回以上していて、スタッフの方も大興奮でした。
本来はイルカを探しに行くところを、ここで30分くらい鯨を追ってくださったので、全ての人が見ることができ、動画も写真もバッチリ撮れました。
その後イルカとも無事遭遇できましたが、子供のイルカがいたらしく、警戒が強く一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでした。
柔軟にプログラム配分を変えてくださったので、夫婦ともども思い出深いアクティビティになりました。
Cruising after swimming is extremely cold. It's better to wear a rash guard or hoodie that you didn't get wet after swimming.
泳いだあとのクルージングはめちゃめちゃ寒いです。ラッシュガードやパーカーは濡らさずに泳いだ後に羽織った方が良いです。
Aloha, Youth! Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. I apologize for not being able to swim with the dolphins, which is disappointing. However, I truly believe it was fortunate that you encountered humpback whales at the end of April and witnessed breaching over 10 times. The power of the breaching can be felt from the photos. Typically, breaching happens only once or twice, so capturing it in photos is rare. I hope it became an unforgettable memory from your trip to Hawaii. Thank you for enjoying the experience until the end. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Youth様。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができず残念な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございません。しかしながら、4月末のシーズン末期にザトウクジラに出会えただけでなく、ブリーチングを10回以上見られたとは本当に幸運だったと思います。ブリーチングをしてる写真からその迫力が伝わってきます。ブリーチングをしても通常は1,2回だけなので写真に収められることはレアです。ハワイ旅行での忘れられない思い出になったとしたら幸いです。最後まで楽しんでいただきありがとうございました。 Youth様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!

コロナ前の訪問以来、5年ぶりにハナウマ湾を訪れることができて感慨深かったです!
The concession stand at Hanauma Bay does not accept cash. Please bring a credit card. I recommend renting a wetsuit to avoid cutting your body on the coral reef.

I participated in the first bus trip during Golden Week. The bus was almost full. (I made the reservation about a month in advance.) There were not only Japanese people but also other Asians participating, so the guidance was provided in both Japanese and English.
On the day of the sandbar, the deepest part was around the groin, and the shallowest part was about knee-deep (I am 165 cm tall). We alternated with other passengers on the boat to do snorkeling and activities, and since we went snorkeling first, the staff kindly taught us how to wear the snorkel mask on the boat.
Snorkeling: I swam in deeper water than I had imagined. Of course, I couldn't touch the bottom, but since there were few people who couldn't swim, the guide accompanied them while swimming. I was very happy to see sea turtles (about 5 to 6 of them). They were swimming or staying in their habitat, and they were so big that it surprised me! The guide found the sea turtles and pointed out where they were.
Activities: Mainly, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) was the focus (there were fewer floaties, and I don't think there were any ZAYAK on the day of participation). SUP was difficult to balance, but it was a lot of fun.
There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and activities. The duration was just right—not too long and not too short.
The guides were bright, kind, and their explanations and stories were interesting, making it a wonderful experience. I had a lovely time. Thank you very much!
GW真っ只中の第1便に参加しました。
バスはほぼ満席です。(予約は1ヶ月前くらいにしました。)日本人だけでなく他のアジア人も一緒に参加していたので、日本語と英語の両方での案内がありました。
当日のサンドバーは、いちばん深いところで足の付け根あたり、いちばん浅いところで膝下くらいでした。(身長165cm)
他の船の乗船者と交代で、シュノーケリングとアクティビティを行う形で、先にシュノーケリングを行ったため(?)、船の上でシュノーケルマスクの付け方など丁寧に教えていただきました。
シュノーケリング:想像以上に深いところを泳ぎました。もちろん、足はつきませんが、泳げない人は(人数が少なかったためか)ガイドさんが付いて泳いでいました。
シュノーケル中に海亀(5〜6頭)に会えたのはとても嬉しかったです。泳いでいたり、住処にとどまっていたり、とにかく大きくて驚きました!ガイドさんが、海亀を見つけて、いる場所を教えてくれました。
アクティビティ:主にSUPがメイン(浮き輪の数は少なめ、参加日にZAYAKは無かった気がします)でした。SUPはバランス取るのが難しかったですが、とても楽しかったです。
シュノーケルもアクティビティも、充分時間があります。長すぎず短すぎずちょうどいい時間でした。
ガイドの皆さんは、明るく、親切で説明やお話がおもしろくて、とても素晴らしかったです。素敵な時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました!!
On sunny days in early May, it wasn't cold. Even if it gets chilly along the way, it warms up with the sunshine. I recommend bringing a larger towel or a jacket, as the bus ride back might be cold.

The two guides were quick and clear in their responses, and I was moved to see various fish and the honu (sea turtle). They considered the tidal conditions and adjusted the location accordingly, which made me feel safe participating. They kindly supported us when my husband and I were running late, and I'm really glad we joined. I felt that I would like to request their services again someday.
