This was my second time participating, and I was very happy that the same crew members remembered me from the last time!
Although I couldn't swim very close to the dolphins this time, I really enjoyed watching the crew's hula dance.
It was a bit disappointing that the pineapple didn't come out...
I would love to join this tour again!
2回目の参加でしたが前回と同じクルーの方が覚えていてくれたことがとてもうれしかったです!
今回はイルカとあまり近くで泳げませんでしたがクルーの方のフラも見れたりとても楽しめました★
パイナップルがでてこなかったのはちょっと残念でしたが・・・
また参加したいツアーです!

Six months ago, I participated in this tour with my daughter and was deeply moved, so this time I joined with friends. Last time, I wrote about the port's restroom and my concerns about snorkeling, but this time, six months later, everything has been perfectly improved, and I was moved by that as well.
If I could make one more request, I think it would be safer and more reassuring to be able to borrow water shoes during snorkeling.
This time, the tide was low, and I was able to walk in water up to my shins. The scenery of Jurassic Park is breathtaking no matter how many times I see it.
半年前に娘とこのツアーに参加して感動をして、今度は友達と参加しました。
前回、港のトイレのことや、シュノーケリングの不安を書き込みしましたが、半年後の今回は、どれも完璧に改善されていて、それにも感動しました。
もう一つお願いできれば、シュノーケリングのときにウォーターシューズも貸し出してもらえるとより安全に安心してシュノーケリングが出来ると思います。
今回は潮もよく引いていて、すねのところまでの水かさでウォーキングできました。
ジェラシックパークの風景も何度見ても感動です。

The sea was a bit deep and cold, which was disappointing, but I was very satisfied with the fantastical beauty of the ocean. Next time, I would like to do some research on the tides before participating.
少し海が深くて寒くて残念でしたがとても幻想的な海で満足しています。でも次回は満潮干潮などの事前調べをして参加したいですね。

My wife made the reservation, and we participated.
We departed the hotel on the "Always Positive" bus and had malasadas for breakfast. After about an hour of driving, we reached the ocean.
During the bus ride, "Tori-chan" provided detailed explanations on how to use the snorkeling equipment. It was early in the morning, so we were a bit sleepy, but it's best to pay attention to the instructions on the way.
As soon as we arrived at the ocean, we boarded the boat. There were a lot of participants that day, and it was just enough space for everyone to sit. The area for storing luggage wasn't very spacious, so it's better not to bring unnecessary items.
Wet suits can be rented for $10. It was a bit cloudy that day, but the sun occasionally shone through. I didn't rent a wet suit, and it was fine.
For those who are not good swimmers, the staff had a float with a rope that they used to swim with, and they could hold on to it for support, so even those who are anxious can feel safe!
That day, we encountered a lot of dolphins! I desperately took photos. I brought a disposable underwater camera. The staff also took pictures from various angles, which you can purchase later.
After swimming with many dolphins, we moved to another location.
There, we went snorkeling and paddle surfing while watching turtles and fish.
Tired participants can take a break on the boat while enjoying snacks.
It's a very rich tour, but since it's only half a day, you can schedule other activities in the afternoon. On the way back, everyone was fast asleep, recharging for the afternoon.
I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first experience seeing wild dolphins and turtles up close, which was a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend it!
妻が予約し、参加しました。
『いつも前向き号』でホテルを出発し、朝ごはんのマラサダ。
そこから1時間ほど走って海へ。
バスの中では『トリちゃん』がシュノーケリングに必要なアイテムの使い方等詳しく説明してくれます。
朝早いので眠いところですが、行きのバスはしっかり説明聞いたほうがいいですよ。
海につくとすぐに船に乗船。
この日は参加人数が多く、ギリギリみんな座れる感じでした。
荷物を置くところはあまり広くないので、余計な荷物は持っていかないほうがいいかと思います。
ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできます。
この日は少し曇っていましたが、時々太陽も照りつけ、ウエットスーツを借りませんでしたが大丈夫でした。
泳ぎが苦手な人は、スタッフの方が紐のついた浮き輪(?)を持って泳いで、それに捕まって引っ張ってもらっていましたので、不安な方も大丈夫ですよ!
この日はとてもたくさんのイルカに遭遇!
必死で写真をとりました。
私は使い捨ての水中カメラを持参していきました。
スタッフの方もいろんな角度から写真を撮ってくれて、後からそれを購入することもできます。
たくさんのイルカと泳いだあとは別の場所に移動。
そこでカメや魚を見ながらシュノーケリングとパドルサーフィン。
疲れた人は船の上でおやつを食べながら休憩できます。
とても濃い内容のツアーですが、半日だけなので午後は他の予定を入れられます。
帰りのバスはみんな爆睡して午後の体力を蓄えていましたよ。
ハワイには何度かきていますが、野生のイルカやカメを間近で見れたのは初めてで、とてもいい経験になりました。
とてもおすすめです!

This tour, which is popular for the high probability of encountering dolphins, has some reviews mentioning, "I didn't see any."
I was wondering if the weather would be good on the day I participate and if I would get to meet the dolphins...
It seems that if you don't meet the dolphins, you can try again on another day, but since my trip was only four nights and six days long, I had other plans filling up the other days. I was in a situation where I had to rely on this day!!!
On the day of the tour, the pickup was at 6:20 AM while it was still dark outside. Since my hotel was the last pickup, those staying at other hotels must have had even earlier pickups!
But since we would be diving into the ocean, I didn't need to do my makeup, and it was fine if my hair was messy, so even those who aren't morning people can manage (laughs).
After eating Leonard's malasadas, we headed straight to the ocean. While listening to various information on the boat, we arrived at the spot where the dolphins were!
Nervously entering the water and looking down, I was shocked by how deep it was!!!
I panicked but held onto my husband until I got used to it. A few minutes later, the dolphins appeared!! There were even baby dolphins!
Before I knew it, I encountered an astonishingly large group of dolphins!!!
They swam very close to me, and at one point, I felt like I was mixed in with the pod! I really thought I might bump into one!
I could also hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins underwater.
On that day, there were said to be over 100 dolphins. After that, we also saw turtles and some really beautiful tropical fish.
It was truly an amazing tour! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour.
イルカ先生とかなりの確率で遭遇できると人気のこのツアー。
しかし体験談を見ていると『見れませんでした』とゆう書き込みもチラホラ・・・
自分が参加する日は天気がいいのか、そしてイルカ先生に会えるのか・・・
もしイルカ先生に会えなかったら別の日にリベンジできることになっているようですが、なにせ4泊6日の短い旅行で、別の日はすべて他の予定で埋まっており。
この日にかけるしかない!!!とゆう状態でした。
当日は朝まだ外が暗い6:20のピックアップ。
それでも私の滞在していたホテルは一番最後のピックアップだったので、他のホテルに滞在していた方たちはもっともっと早い時間のピックアップだったんでしょうねーー!
でもどうせ海に潜るのでメイクもしなくてオッケーだし、髪も寝癖あってもオッケーなので、朝が苦手な人でもなんとかなっちゃいますよ(笑)
レナーズのマラサダを食べ早速海へ。
船の上でイロイロと話を聞いたりしているうちにイルカ先生のいるスポットに到着♪
恐る恐る海に入って下を見ると・・・
深!!!!!
焦りましたがなれるまで主人につかまってました。
数分後、すぐにイルカ先生登場!!
子供のイルカちゃんもいましたよ!
そうこうしているうちに驚くほどのイルカ先生の大群に遭遇!!!
すぐ近くを泳いでくれて、一瞬自分がイルカの群れの中に混ざっちゃってる時までありました!!
ほんと、ぶつかるかと思ったー!
水の中ではかわいらしいイルカ先生の鳴き声も聞こえました。
この日は100匹以上のイルカ先生がいたそうです。
その後はカメさんにも会えたし、とってもきれいな熱帯魚も見れました。
ほんとに感動したツアーでしたー!!
またハワイに行く機会があったら是非参加したいツアーです。

To sum it up, I was disappointed that we didn't encounter any dolphins this time.
According to the guide, who has been working for 9 years, this was only the second time they haven't encountered dolphins. They mentioned that previously, they had only one instance of not seeing dolphins. Simply calculating the probability, there's about a 0.1% chance of not encountering dolphins. Conversely, there's about a 99.9% chance of encountering them. <<No encounters 2 times ÷ (5 days a week x 4 weeks x 12 months x 9 years) x 100% = Probability of not encountering 0.09%>>
Therefore, generally speaking, you can expect to encounter dolphins, so there's no need to worry about that. Additionally, if you don't encounter dolphins, you can participate for free next time.
Regardless of whether you encounter dolphins or not, this tour will create wonderful memories for active individuals. However, for those who want to relax on vacation in Hawaii or are prone to seasickness, it might be a bit of a bitter experience.
Here's a brief overview of the tour process. The meeting point is where you will be picked up from your accommodation. The time is very early, around 6:10 AM. I believe the time may vary slightly depending on the season (I participated in December). During the journey, you will have a complimentary piece of fried bread. Also, the Japanese guide will engage the participants with conversation to boost their spirits. It takes about an hour to reach the harbor where the boat is docked.
As soon as we arrive at the harbor, we board the boat. If anyone needs to use the restroom, they can use the boat's restroom, which is not very clean. We search for dolphins, and if we find them, we swim together. This time, since we didn't find any, we went snorkeling where there were fish and sea turtles. If there's extra time, you can try paddleboarding or kayaking. We have a hamburger lunch on the boat, and we finish with everyone dancing on the way back. The tour ends around 1 PM.
結果から言うと、今回はイルカに遭遇できず残念でした。
9年間務めているガイドによると、これまでに1回だけイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことです。そして、今回が2度目にあたるそうです。
単純に確率を計算すると、約0.1%の確率でイルカに遭遇できません。逆に約99.9%の確率でイルカに遭遇できるということです。<<遭遇不可2度÷(週5日x4週x12か月x9年間)x100%=遭遇できない確率0.09%>>
したがって、一般的にはイルカに遭遇できるので、この点は心配いりません。
また、イルカに遭遇できなかった場合、次回無料で参加できます。
イルカの遭遇成否に関わらず、このツアーはアクティブな人であればとても良い思い出になるでしょう。しかし、ハワイでゆっくりバカンスを過ごしたい方や、船酔いする方にとっては、ちょっと苦い思い出になるかもしれません。
簡単にツアーの流れを紹介します。
集合場所は、宿泊先に迎えが来ます。時間はとても早いです。午前6時10分でした。シーズンによって時間は若干変わると思います。(12月参加) 道中に揚げパン1つ食べます。サービスです。また、日本人ガイドが参加者のテンションを上げるべくトークをします。船を泊めているハーバーまで約1時間です。
ハーバーに到着するとすぐに船に乗り込みます。トイレに行きたい人は、船のトイレを使用します。船のトイレですので、あまりきれいではありません。
イルカを探し、発見したら一緒に泳ぎます。今回は、発見できなかったので、魚やウミガメがいるところでシュノーケリングをしました。時間が余れば、パドルボードやカヤックを体験できます。船上でハンバーグの昼食をとります。帰りに皆でダンスをして終了です。午後1時頃には終了します。

This is a very worthwhile tour where you can swim with dolphins and even enjoy popular malasadas. I had participated in dolphin watching before, but when I found a tour that allowed swimming with them, I was skeptical and signed up, wondering if it was really true.
After joining the tour, I was truly amazed. I was able to see dolphins swimming right in front of me up close. On top of that, I even got to see a baby dolphin!
Additionally, the cheeseburger we had on the boat was delicious. I would love to repeat this experience the next time I go to Hawaii. It’s a wonderful tour that makes dreams come true, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
イルカと泳ぐ事ができ、人気のマラサダまで食べれるとてもお得なツアーです。
今までイルカウォッチングは参加した事があったのですが、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来るツアーを見つけ、本当?と半信半疑で申し込みました。
ツアーに参加してみて本当びっくり。イルカが目の前を泳いでいくのを間近で見る事ができました。おまけに赤ちゃんイルカまで見れました。
また、船の上で食べるチーズバーガーも美味しかった。
次にハワイに行くときも、リピートしたいです。
夢を実現できる素敵なツアーですので、友人にもおススメしたいです。

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the color of the sea was very beautiful. The sandbar wasn't as prominent as seen in advertisements, but it's still a strange place that's shallow despite being offshore. It seems advisable to check the low tide before making a reservation, as it can be waist-deep on deeper days.
I would like to participate again.
当日少し曇りがちでしたが、海の色はとてもきれいでした。
サンドバーは広告等見るほどは浮きでてはいませんが、それでも、沖合いなのに浅い不思議な場所です。

It was a bit early to gather before 6 AM, but I was glad to experience the refreshing Hawaiian morning. The tour included a lot of activities such as searching for dolphins, snorkeling, BBQ, and hula lessons. The crew was very enjoyable, and I made great memories. However, I felt it was more about observing the dolphins rather than swimming with them, so I wish there had been an option to choose life jackets according to our comfort level. Also, it would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling.
朝は6時前に集合のため少し早起きですが、
すがすがしいハワイの朝を体験することができよかったです。ツアー内容もイルカを探し、シュノーケリング、BBQやフラレッスンと盛りだくさんでした。

The simple meal on the boat was just right, and it felt wonderful to enjoy it while looking at the sea. I was surprised to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling! It was so much fun!

This was my first time participating in a dolphin tour. The weather wasn't great, but I had a lot of fun meeting many wild dolphins. I was able to see dolphins both in the water and from the boat, including some that jumped like in a show. Surprisingly, I also saw a whale, which I thought was too early for this time of year. I can only say I was lucky.
During the snorkeling at a different spot, I encountered many fish, turtles, and even stingrays. I didn't expect to see so many marine creatures, so I was excited the entire time I was snorkeling. I had heard that kayaking was an option, but I completely forgot about it. The guides were kind and made the experience enjoyable. I was surprised to see that they were all handsome.
I read experiences about severe seasickness, so I made sure to take medication before participating, which helped me avoid getting sick. It was cold when I got out of the water, so it's better to have a jacket.
今回初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天気はイマイチでしたが、たくさんの野生のイルカたちに会うことができてとても楽しかったです。
イルカは海の中でも船の上からでも見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプするイルカも。
そしてなんとこの時期にはまだ早いと思うのですがクジラもみれました。これは運が良かったとしかいえないです。
ポイントを変えてのシュノーケルではたくさんのお魚とカメ、そしてエイにも会いました。
こんなにたくさんの海の仲間に会えるとは思っていなかったのでシュノーケルの間は興奮しっぱなし、

Thank you for participating. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of times you can swim with them and the distance to the dolphins may vary from day to day.

I was surprised to be able to swim so close to sea turtles and dolphins, even more than I had expected! At first, the sea turtle was down by the rocks, but it floated up to the surface, and I was able to see it swimming majestically right in front of me. I wasn't very confident in my swimming skills and was wearing a life jacket, so I thought I would only be able to see them from a distance, but both the sea turtles and dolphins came very close to the surface, making it possible for even those who can't swim to enjoy the experience. Moreover, the encounter rate with dolphins was said to be 96-98%. If I have the chance to go to Oahu again, I would definitely want to participate in this activity again. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.
期待していた以上に近くでウミガメやイルカと泳ぐことができてビックリ!!ウミガメは最初、下の岩の方にいたのですが、海面まで浮かび上がってきてくれて、ほんとに目の前で悠然と泳ぐウミガメを見ることができました。泳ぎに自信がなくライフジャケットを着用していたので、遠くでしか見られないかと思っていましたが、ウミガメもイルカもとても海面に近いところまで浮上してきてくれるので、泳げない人でも安心して一緒に泳ぐことができると思います。しかもイルカとの遭遇率は96~98%ということでした。次回オアフに行く機会があれば、また絶対参加したいアクティビティです。貴重な経験をさせていただいてありがとうございました。

The staff were all very energetic and friendly, which was great. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. However, since you spend a long time on the boat, I think it's a good idea for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. There were a few people who got sick during our trip as well.

The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.
スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。
Thank you for participating. We regret that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of opportunities to swim with them and the distance to the dolphins can vary from day to day.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。このたびは水中で野生のイルカと間近で一緒に泳ぐ体験をしていただけなかったようで残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のイルカがいるベストスポット(イルカの通り道)へご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日により一緒に泳げる回数やイルカとの距離は変化しておりますことご了承ください。

I joined to see dolphins. The tour was amazing as I got to see the beautiful scenery of the West Coast and meet dolphins. The staff's service was also wonderful, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.
イルカを見たくて参加しました。
西海岸のきれいな景色を見て、さらにイルカにも会えて、最高なツアーでした。
スタッフの方の対応もすばらしく、とても楽しめました。

I participated with a friend.
First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).
Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).
I definitely want to participate again♪
By the way, it gets quite cold after swimming, so don't forget to bring a jacket!!
友人と2人で参加しました。
最初にフラ、フラの先生が楽しく教えてくれます。
小道具も貸してもらえるので、気乗りがしない人でもテンションがあがりますよ(笑
次にイルカに会いに海へ!
間近で一緒に泳げた時間は少なかったのですが、イルカ&亀と泳ぐが出来ました!
最悪イルカと遭遇出来なくても、船上スタッフのいろいろなパフォーマンス(ダンスあり、ギャグあり)があるので、それなりに楽しめるツアーだと思います。
是非、また参加したいです♪
ちなみに、泳いだ後はかなり寒いので上着を忘れずに!!

I had a great time.
It's not often that I get to enter a sea where my feet can't touch the bottom, so I was a bit scared at first, but once I got in, it felt amazing, and I wanted to swim forever.
The boat ride was fast, and the wind felt really nice.
I was very satisfied to see both dolphins and sea turtles.
とても楽しかったです。
足のつかない海に入ることはなかなかないので、
最初はこわかったのですが、入るととっても
気持ちよくて、ずっと泳いでいたかったです。
移動のボートはスピードがあり、風がとても気持ち
よかった。
イルカもウミガメも見ることができてとても
満足です。
