The date and time we used was not during low tide, but the shallow areas allowed us to stand, and they provided life jackets, so we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.
Above all, a Japanese guide accompanied us throughout the experience (the driver was not Japanese, but spoke Japanese very well!), so it was reassuring to have a Japanese guide after the English guide from the leader.
Even if you can't swim, the Japanese guide pulls you along with something like a float, so as long as you hold on to that, you can calmly take in the sights of the corals, fish, and sea turtles underwater, for which I am grateful. 🐢🤿
Drinks and snacks on the boat were free, and the spam was one per person, but it was incredibly delicious!
私たちの利用した日時はthe干潮ってわけではなかったですが、浅瀬は足が付いて、ライフジャケットも貸し出してくれるので安心して楽しめました。
何より、日本人ガイドが体験中終始(送迎の運転手は日本人ではなかったけど日本語お上手!)付き添ってくれるので、リーダーの方の英語ガイドの後に日本語ガイドをしてくれて安心でした。
泳げなくても、日本人ガイドさんが浮き輪みたいなものを持ちながら引っ張ってくれるので、それに捕まっていれば水中の珊瑚やお魚、ウミガメの様子も落ち着いて目に焼き付けることが出来て感謝しています🐢🤿
船内の飲み物とお菓子類はフリーで、スパムはひとりひとつでしたが最高に美味しかったです!
おおよそチップは1人20ドル(強制ではないです)なので、その準備があるとスムーズかと思います。

We had a group of 6 adults who all had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. One female employee was extra helpful to my 83 year old uncle. The boat is nice and not too crowded with guests. We had a gorgeous day so our pics were beautiful in the clear, blue water. We had plenty of time to use the paddle boards and snorkel. The snorkeling was ok. The reef seems like it is dead. We saw a couple of turtles and small fish but not the best snorkeling I have done. We brought our own alcohol and the staff gave us some ice. Snacks were ok but I think for the price - lunch should be provided. It was one of our most expensive excursions. It was good transportation was included but we did have a rental car. The boats have bins to keep your belongings dry and safe. Bring a water proof cell phone case to take water / snorkel pics. Bring towels and sunscreen. It was nice to have a bathroom on board too. Music was playing but it was not a party vibe.
Bring water proof cell phone case and towels.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review and the beautiful photo!

I made a reservation for Wednesday after the park's closure, but I was really disappointed by the lack of fish. However, since both the ocean and the beach are beautiful, I think it’s worth going if you focus on enjoying the beautiful sea.
休園日後の水曜日に予約したのですが…凄く魚が少なくて残念でした。
ただ海もビーチも綺麗なので『綺麗な海を楽しむ』をメインにすると行く価値があるかと思います。

I had a great time swimming with turtles in the beautiful sea. On the way to the sandbar by boat, I was able to see many turtles, and it was wonderful to snorkel while watching them. The captain and crew were cheerful and made the tour enjoyable, and I am very satisfied. There was also a crew member who was fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy the experience without any difficulties.

It seems that the perfect sandy beach, like the one in the photos, is limited by the season and time, so it's best to do some research before going to a sandbar like the one in the pictures. This time

I enjoyed both the activities and the snorkeling tour. However, I chose to participate on a day when the tour coincided with low tide, hoping to see the sandbar appear, but even at low tide, the sandbar did not show up, and the sea... It's disappointing. It was supposed to be a medium tide, but maybe it needs to be a day with a lower tide...

I participated because I wanted my children to play in the beautiful sea. We gathered in the morning and were taken by microbus; on the way back, we were dropped off directly in front of our hotel from the port. During the journey, we were introduced to famous restaurants in Hawaii, and since my Japanese is quite good, I had no worries.
At the dock, we took care of restroom needs and prepared ourselves. The restroom on the boat is very small and inconvenient, so it's better to use the facilities here. Since it was a weekday, the boat wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to relax.
Each person received one spam onigiri, and other snacks and drinks were free. It might be a good idea to have a decent breakfast beforehand to enjoy the day with full energy.
On the way to the sandbar, we stopped at a spot to see sea turtles, and we were able to see many from the boat. I thought we might see some at the sandbar too, and we actually did!
The water level that day was about waist-high for adults; if it's too shallow, we might not see anything. Conversely, if it's deeper, children might get scared. When the wind is strong, it can get chilly, and the waves can make activities like SUP a bit challenging.
You can rent SUPs, masks, fins, and boogie boards that allow you to see underwater. However, personally, I thought it might be better to bring my own mask since the size might not fit well.
I think it would be quite difficult to change clothes on the boat, so it's a good idea to prepare a towel that can thoroughly dry you off and a rash guard to wear over your swimsuit.
綺麗な海で子供を遊ばせてあげたくて参加しました。朝集合場所に行きマイクロバスで送って貰います、帰りは港から直接滞在ホテル前に送って貰いました。道中でハワイの有名な飲食店等紹介して貰いながら目的地へ向かいます、日本語が達者なので不安等はありませんでした。
船着場でトイレ等済ませて準備します、船のトイレは非常に狭いし不便なのでここで済ませた方が吉です。船上では平日だった事もあり超満員じゃ無かったのでゆったり過ごせました。
スパムおにぎりは一人1個、他のスナックやドリンクはフリーでした。事前に朝食をそこそこしっかり食べた方が体力満タンで楽しめるかも知れません。
サンドバーへ向かう途中ウミガメのスポットに立ち寄ると船上から沢山のウミガメを見る事が出来ました、ひょっとしたらサンドバーにもいるかもと思っていたら本当に会えました!
この日は大人の腰位の高さの水位でした、余りにも浅いと会えないかも。逆にこれ以上深いと子供が怖がるかも知れません。
風が強いと身体が冷えます、波も少し立って、SUP等は流されます。
SUP、マスク、フィン、水中が見えるビート板等は借りれます。ただ個人的にはマスクはサイズ合わないかもなので自分で準備した方が良いかもと思いました。
船上で着替える事は中々難しいと思うので、しっかり水気を拭き取れるタオルと、上に羽織れるラッシュガード等を確実に準備したら良いと思います。
If you are prone to seasickness, it's better to have medication on hand, as it can get quite rocky on windy days.
The water temperature can be lower than expected, so it's advisable to take precautio
船酔いする方は薬あった方が良いです、風が強い日は中々揺れます。
水温が思ったよりも低い事もあるので防寒対策した方が良いです。
子供連れてる方は子供に合う浮き輪を自分で用意した方が良いと思います。

For our first activity in Hawaii, we chose Dolphin University. On the two-story boat, we could enjoy cruising on the upper deck while feeling the wind before meeting the dolphins. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with light rain, but there were plenty of dolphins. Dolphins have the second-largest brain size after humans, and they swam around the boat, seemingly aware of us. Along the way, the kids got a bit seasick, but overall, we were able to finish the trip in good spirits. I would love to try again on a sunny day!
Also, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. There are warm water showers on the boat, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by bus from Waikiki. However, they turned off the air conditioning on the way back, which was reassuring.
ハワイの最初のアクティビティとして、イルカ大学を選びました。2階建ての船で、イルカに出会う前までは2階で風を感じながらクルージングできます。あいにくの曇りと小雨でしたが、イルカは沢山居ました。イルカは人間に次ぐ脳みその大きさで、なかなか空気を読んでくれて船の周りで泳ぎ回ってくれました。途中で子供達がseasicknessになりましたが、おおむねご機嫌で終わることができました。また晴れの日にチャレンジしたいですね!
あと、着替えはあったほうが良いです。温水シャワー船内にありますし、ワイキキからはバスで40〜50分かかります。でも帰りはエアコンOFFしてくれるので、安心でした。
There's also a dolphin school, and you can dive into a more active pod of dolphins. However, since you go on a small boat, it's easy to get seasick, so it might be better suited for those who are accu

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was always there to guide me and help me, so I was able to complete it safely. The waves were strong, and I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to see some fish, and it was a good experience. I was advised to rent a wetsuit to avoid scraping my knees, but I managed to get through without one.

Thank you for visiting again this year. I thought you swam on the inside last time, so this time I guided you to the outside of Hanauma (beyond the coral). The right side, Alii, was very blue and beautiful. Let's definitely meet again next year! I am always waiting for you. Mahalo!!
また今年もお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。前回はインサイドを泳いだかなと思いましたので、今回はハナウマのアウトサイド(サンゴを超えた沖側)をご案内させていただきました。右端のAliiはとても青くて綺麗でしたね。是非また来年もお会い致しましょう!!いつでもお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

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 recommend bringing a change of clothes.
着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining the tour the other day. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Please come back to visit the sea turtles again. Mahalo!

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.
船酔いする方は無理です。

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^)/*
会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり!!
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます!!!ありがとう!!!
thank you so much!!!*\(^o^)/*
There was a warm water shower. I brought a change of clothes, and although it was a bit cramped, I was able to quickly change in the restroom, so it was comfortable. The lunch was also very delicious!
暖かい温水シャワーついてました。
着替え持っていって少し狭いですがトイレでささっと着替えができたので、快適でした☆
ランチもとても美味しかった♪
Aloha! YUKA. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. I am Ken, your guide on the day of the tour. On the day of the tour, over 300 rare false killer whales came to play around the boat!! And for a long time... It was my first time seeing so many false killer whales, so I was very excited!! Thank you for using the heated shower that we carefully equipped on the Poseidon. I'm glad you enjoyed the lunch as well. Please feel free to invite your friends to join us again. We are looking forward to welcoming you back, YUKA. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

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。
シュノーケルは参加してもしなくてもよく、75歳の父がSAPにトライしました。
私は浮き輪でプカプカ浮いてとても気持ちよかった♪
シュノーケル組は、行きは楽で良かったけど、帰りはサンドバーを歩いて帰りたかったがUターンするよう言われ、海流に逆らって泳ぐことがとても大変だったけど、魚がたくさんいてとても綺麗で楽しかったとのことです。
When you come out of the sea, the wind lowers your body temperature, making you feel cold. Instead of just draping a towel over your shoulders, it was much better to take off the rash guard and change
海から上がると風で体温が下がるため寒く感じます。
タオルを肩からかけるだけより、ラッシュガードを脱ぎ、長袖のものに着替えるとだいぶマシでした。

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。
次回も参加したいと思います。
You can participate with children without worry. The staff are all wonderful, and you can have a great time. I truly recommend it. If you come to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!
子供連れでも安心して、参加できます。スタッフさんの良い方ばかりで楽しく過ごせます。本当におすすめだと思います。
