I traveled with my 82-year-old mother, and she was able to walk without any issues, which made us very happy. It was a tour that everyone in the family enjoyed. It was a very beautiful place, and it became a lifelong memory for both my mother and me. Thank you very much.

It was my first experience with snorkeling!
Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;
However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)
The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((@0@) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆
The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )
And above all...
The ocean was so beautiful!!!!
I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`
The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b
I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!
I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day\^0^/
シュノーケリング初体験でした!
ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;
でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)
海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((@0@
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆
キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:__;)
そして何より…
海がキレ~~~イ!!!!
何もかも忘れて
癒してもらいました´ω`
最後のフラ体験も

I participated in the most popular tour, the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, which is known for its delicious food. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful! I realized I had forgotten my video camera on the shuttle bus. What a shock! I had bought a compact video camera to capture this sea... In the early morning, I joined the Diamond Head sunrise tour. I guess I was a bit relaxed, and while searching for a shop near the boat departure point, I found none.
When I asked the staff, they mentioned that waterproof cameras called "Utsurun desu" are sold on the boat... When I tried to buy one, I learned about a service that turns photos taken at the sand bar into a DVD. The sand bar is a famous spot for commercial filming. Hmm. The "Utsurun desu" camera costs $20, while the DVD shooting is $45... I thought about having a photo DVD made of me, my son, and my mother.
However, we had to pose properly... arms wide open, all three of us overlapping, and so on. Plus, I was bare-faced with messy hair... I thought the woman in a bikini taking our photos looked much more suited to the beautiful sea... but we went ahead with it. My son had a stiff expression the whole time. My mother looked great in the photos, and the photo spots were indeed well-chosen.
The finished photos turned out beautifully. However, having to pick them up at the office near DFS after 7 PM that day was a bit inconvenient. I wished there was a delivery service to the hotel.
After that, we went snorkeling. My son, who had been taking swimming lessons, of course participated. I also joined since I had gotten somewhat used to it at Hanauma Bay on the first day. However, the water was 20 meters deep. The distance was about 100 meters round trip, I think. It suddenly got deep from knee-deep water. Some women decided not to participate, fearing they might panic at that depth, but I can only swim about 25 meters. There were small children participating with their fathers, so it was okay. However, the visibility wasn't that great, and I could only see a few fish far below.
We saw several sea turtles from the boat on the way to the sand bar.
The BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious, just as I had expected. The kalbi meat was easy to eat, and we all commented on how tasty the salad was.
ツアーで一番人気の、このツアーBBQランチが美味しいという評判の午後ツアーに参加してきました。
天気も良く、海も綺麗!送迎のバスの中でビデオカメラを忘れてきたことに気がつきました。ショック。この海を撮りたくて小型ビデオカメラを購入したのに・・・早朝、ダイアモンドヘッド日の出ツアーに参加。きっと、気が緩んでいたんでしょうねと思いつつ、ボートの発着所付近にショップはないか、捜しましたがありません。
スタッフの方に聞くと、「写るんです」の防水カメラはボート内で販売しているとか・・・購入しようとすると、このサンド・バーで写真をDVDにしてくれるというサービスがあることを知りました。サンド・バーはCM撮影で有名なスポット。う~ん。「写るんです」は20ドル。DVD撮影は45ドル・・・いっそ、私と息子、母の3人を撮ってもらおうかと写真DVDをお願いしました。
しかし、ポーズをしっかりつけること・・・両手を広げて、三人重なって・・などなど。しかも、私はノーメイクで、髪はボサボサ・・・写真を撮ってくださるビキニの女性の方がよほど、この海の景色に似合いそうだ・・・などと思いつつ撮ってもらいました。息子は終始、かたい表情。母は、良い表情に撮れていましたし、写真を撮るスポットはさすがに、慣れているだけあって良かったです。
出来上がったものは、綺麗に撮れていました。
その日の19時以降にDFSの近くの事務所まで受け取りに行くのが、ちょっと。ホテルまで届けてくれるサービスなどあればと思いました。
その後はシュノーケリング。息子はスイミングを習っていたので、もちろん参加。私も初日のハナウマ湾で、やや慣れたので参加。けれど、水深20メートル。距離は往復で100メートル~だと思います。膝ほどの水深からいきなり、深くなります。
水深が20メートルだと、途中でパニックになるかもしれないなどど参加をやめた女性もいましたが、私も25メートルほどしか泳げません。小さな子供もお父さんと参加していたので、大丈夫です。ただし、透明度はそれほどではなく、魚もずっと下の方に少し見えるくらいでした。
海ガメは、サンド・バーに行く途上で何匹も船上から見えました。
シュノーケリングの後のBBQランチは期待通り、美味しかったです。カルビ肉は食べやすく、サラダも味付けが美味しいねと皆で話していま

On March 21, 2011, I participated in this tour with my parents and my son (8 years old). It was cloudy in Waikiki, and there was a bit of rain on the mountain roads, so I was worried about the weather. However, when we arrived at the location, it wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent with some sunshine. Even in late March, the water temperature was still low. During this tour, we snorkeled twice at different points, but during the first snorkeling session, my son and the other children turned blue in the lips and were shivering. The adults, including myself, didn't feel as cold, but if children are going snorkeling at this time of year, a rash guard might not be warm enough. The snorkeling left a stronger impression than walking on the sandbar. Most of the staff were Japanese, so they kindly explained how to wear and use the snorkeling gear in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the first snorkeling session, we encountered a sea turtle. The colorful tropical fish and the sea turtle were truly moving. We boarded the cruiser, which took us to the snorkeling points, and even though the meals on board were light snacks, they were quite delicious. For the second snorkeling session, I was told that the current was a bit stronger than at the first point, but even as a beginner, I was able to snorkel without being swept away. This point had clearer water and a more beautiful sea. We didn't see any sea turtles here, but afterward, we returned to the boat for turtle watching. We discovered many sea turtles, and my parents, who didn't snorkel, also enjoyed it. All the staff were kind, and I would definitely recommend this tour.
2011年3月21日にこのツアーに私の両親と私と息子(8歳)で参加しました。ワイキキでは曇りで途中山道でも雨がちらつき、天候が心配でしたが、現地に到着するとピーカンではありませんでしたが、日差しもぼちぼちの天候となりました。3月下旬でもやはり水温は低く、このツアーではポイントを変えて2回シュノーケルしたのですが、1度目のシュノーケルで、息子も含め他の子供達も唇が真っ青でぶるぶる震えるような感じになりました。私や他の大人の方々は、それほど寒さを感じませんでしたが、この時期のシュノーケルは、お子さんが行かれるのであれば、ラッシュガードでは寒いかもしれません。サンドバーのウォーキングよりは、シュノーケルが印象に残りました。スタッフは日本の方がほとんどでしたので、日本語で丁寧にシュノーケルの装着や使い方について説明してくださり、安心してシュノーケルができました。1度目のシュノーケル時にウミガメに遭遇しました。色とりどりの熱帯魚とウミガメ、それはもう感動的でした。クルーザーに乗り込み、ポイントまで連れていっていただいたのですが、船内での食事も軽食とはいえ、なかなかおいしかったです。2度目のシュノーケルは、最初のポイントよりやや潮の流れがあるとのことでしたが、初心者の私でも流されることなく安心してシュノーケルできました。こちらのポイントの方が透明度が高く美しい海でした。ここではウミガメには会えませんでしたが、その後船に戻りウミガメウォッチングをしました。
たくさんのウミガメを発見して、こちらはシュノーケルはしなかった私の両親も楽しんでいました。
スタッフのみなさんもどなたも親切ですし、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。

I participated in the summer of 10 years ago. It was really early in the morning, but I was moved by the sunrise at the sandbar and enjoyed the sandbar walk. On top of that, I went snorkeling in a place with sea turtles and tropical fish. It was a tour filled with the best of Hawaii. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was outstanding.

After taking the bus to switch to the boat, we headed to the point where we could see sea turtles. After seeing the sea turtles, we were on the boat for about another 5 minutes to the sandbar. Unfortunately, due to the tide, we ended up walking in knee-deep water. It was said that if the tide was just right, we could walk on the sandbank. Well, I didn't mind being in knee-deep water, but many people were disappointed.
After that, we changed locations for snorkeling. This was amazing! You can encounter all sorts of fish! Since the snorkeling was in a coral reef at a depth where you can't touch the bottom, it might be a bit challenging for beginners...
After that, we had a hearty lunch. This was also excellent.
Overall, it was a packed tour.
Don't forget to bring tissue paper to the restroom at the dock where the boat returns.

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.
Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!
Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.
I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.
There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。1頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮!
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で0歳~71歳の参加でしたが、3歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ&シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward

This was my second time participating. Last year, I joined with three friends and was so impressed by the beauty of the ocean that I wanted my boyfriend, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to see it too, so I participated with him this time.
Since it was February, which is winter, I felt that the ocean wasn't as beautiful as it was during the summer when I participated last time. I thought the season might not be the best for me, but my boyfriend, who was participating for the first time, was amazed by the beautiful sea.
Especially since I'm not very good at swimming, I was moved by the snorkeling experience where, even if you can't swim well, you can still see the beautiful corals and the colorful fish swimming around.
The staff on this tour had such high energy and kept us entertained throughout. So, if you're looking to have a fun time with a group or just want to enjoy some lively company, this is definitely the right choice. Even if you go alone, I think you'll have a great time!
2度目の参加です。
去年、友人3人と参加し、海の綺麗さに感動したので、初めてのハワイの彼にも是非、その美しさを見てほしかったので彼と一緒に参加しました。
今回は2月という冬場だったので、前回夏場に参加したときより海の綺麗さがなく、私にとってはちょっぴりイマイチ季節が悪かったかなって思っていましたが、初参加の彼は美しい海に感動していました。
特に、あまり泳ぎは得意なほうではないのですが、シュノーケリングで泳げなくても美しい珊瑚と群がる綺麗なお魚が見れるので感動です。
こちらのツアーは、スタッフの方々のテンションがとても高く、始終楽しませてくれます。なので、わいわいしたい人やグループでの参加なら盛り上がることは間違いないでしょうし、一人での参加でも楽しめそうです。

I participated in the afternoon session on January 15 (Saturday). The weather was not just sunny, but perfectly clear. The sunlight was so strong that it was quite hot, so even when I got into the water, it wasn't too cold. There were many participants, over 40? It was fully booked. We saw a lot of green sea turtles, and the sandbar was just exposed due to the low tide. The tour staff mentioned it was the first time they had seen such a low tide. The staff's service was good, and I was particularly impressed by a lively woman in her thirties. She had a nice figure and even wore a belly button ring. Although she was married... They also took commemorative photos for us, and the snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch afterward was very delicious, especially the chicken. My wife was also very pleased. The commemorative photos were $10, but I don't think that's expensive. Some participants even had video recordings. Even in January, if the weather is good, it’s not cold. I would like to participate again. Newlyweds, mature couples, families, and groups can all enjoy this experience. I think there are many repeat visitors as well.
1月15日(土)PMの部に参加させてもらいました。

I participated with my mother, and this was my graduation trip to Hawaii. Among all the activities, this snorkeling tour was my main goal. I had read experiences from those who participated before, so I joined with high expectations, and it did not disappoint—every moment turned out to be the best day ever!
The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and while snorkeling, I swam among small fish that were deeper than my feet could reach. This feeling is something you can only truly understand by experiencing it with your own body and eyes.
I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was a bit scared about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket ensured I wouldn't sink, and everyone was close by, which made me feel safe. There were also a few people who just walked on the sandbar and observed the snorkeling from the boat.
I joined in the afternoon, and I was worried about getting hungry since lunch was after the sandbar and snorkeling. However, before we departed from the harbor, we were able to enjoy Leonard's malasadas and drinks, which was great.
The crew members were all wonderful people, and they made the experience enjoyable. The buffet-style lunch was also incredibly delicious! If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to join this tour again!☆
母と娘の親子で参加しました。
私の大学卒業旅行で来たハワイ、中でもこのシュノーケリングツアーは一番の目的でもありました。事前に参加された方々の体験談も読んでいたので、相当な期待感を持っての参加でしたが、その期待を裏切ることなくどこをとっても最高の一日となりました!
美しすぎるサンドバーに、シュノーケリングでは自分の足のさらに奥深くを泳ぐ小魚。この感動はやはり自分の体と目で感じないとわからないと思います。
泳ぎが得意でない私は、足のつかないところでのシュノーケリングということで少し怖かったのですが、ライフジャケットを着るので絶対沈みませんし、みんな近くにいるので安心です。サンドバーだけ歩いて、シュノーケリングは船の上で見学されている方も何人かいらっしゃいました。
お昼からの参加でしたが、昼食はサンドバーとシュノーケリングが終わってからということで、お腹がすくかな?と心配だったのですが、港を出発する前にレナーズのマラサダと飲み物をいただけたのでよかったです。
クルーの皆さんもみんな良い人達で、楽しませていただきましたし、バイキング形式のランチもすごくおいしかったです!またハワイに来ることがあれば、是非参加したいツアーです☆

I participated on August 25.
Overall, it was just okay.
I think the tour is affected by the weather! In my case, it was as follows:
- The weather was bad and cold, and the wind was strong.
- As a result, the water clarity was not great (when the sunlight came through, it was very beautiful).
- The sandbar was not formed (maybe because of the weather?).
→ There was a shallow area in the middle of the sea, but there were no parts shallow enough to see the ground.
After that, I went snorkeling in the deep sea outside the original sandbar area. There were many black fish, and due to the strong wind, the waves were high, so it wasn't that great. It might be tough for those who are not good at swimming!
The return boat was also cold. It's better to bring a towel. There was warm coffee and tea, which was helpful.
It could be a good tour on a nice day!
8月25日に参加。
総じて、まあまあだった。
天候に左右されるツアーだと思う!
私の場合は以下のとおりだったので。
?天気が悪く寒かった、風も強かった
?そのため海の透明度もいまいち(太陽の光が差し込んだ時は非常にキレイ)
?サンドバーもできていなかった(天候のせい?)
→海のど真ん中に浅瀬はあったが、地面が見える程浅い部分は無し。
その後、本来のサンドバー部分の外の深い海でシュノーケリングをした。
黒い魚が多く、風が強いため、波が高く、それほどでもなかった。泳ぎが苦手な人はきついかもしれない!
帰りのボートも寒かった。タオルをちゃんと持って行った方がよい。
あったかいコーヒー、紅茶はあり、それは助かった。
天気の良い日だと良いツアーかもしれない!

自然のイルカさんの大群、ウミガメ、アザラシに逢うことができて、本当に感動しました。
一度は経験できてとてもよかったと思います♪

Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't see the beautiful sea like in the pictures or commercials, but the staff's service and the snorkeling experience were both wonderful☆
I got to see sea turtles and coral reefs, and the snacks on the boat were unexpectedly delicious, which made me very satisfied.
あいにくの天気で画像やCMのようなきれいな海を見ることは出来なかったのですが、スタッフの対応、シュノーケリング、どれもとてもすばらしかったです☆
ウミガメを見たり、さんご礁を見たり、舟の上での軽食も予想外にとてもおいしくて大満足です。

I participated in October. At first, I had a hard time finding dolphins, but when I finally spotted them, it was an emotional experience. The staff were all very enthusiastic, and I had a great time. I want to go to Hawaii again to see the dolphins. Thank you very much!
10月に参加しました。
最初はイルカを探してなかなか見つからなかったのですが、
見つかったときは感動でした。
スタッフの方も皆さん盛り上げてくれて、
非常に楽しめました。
またイルカ見にハワイへ行きたいです、
本当にありがとうございました。

It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with wonderful weather and had a fantastic experience. We were able to swim close to dolphins and sea turtles, which was an incredibly moving time for us. The staff were all very friendly and their service was excellent.
However, the staff's strong desire for everyone to see the dolphins was a bit overwhelming at times. They would say things like, "I found one! Come this way!" and everyone would rush over. Then another staff member would call out, "Come over here!" and again everyone would go that way... It was quite tiring! ^^; Haha.
Thanks to that, we encountered many dolphins, but I think it might be better to find a favorite staff member and stick with them. Overall, I believe it was a great tour. If you have the chance, I highly recommend participating!
雨季でしたが、とてもすばらしい天気に恵まれ素敵な体験をすることができました。イルカや、海ガメを間近に泳ぐことができ、とても感動できる時間を過ごすことができました。
スタッフの皆様もとてもフレンドリーで、対応もすばらしいです。
ただし、スタッフの皆さんの絶対にイルカを見て欲しい気持ち→私見つけた→こっち来てーーー!!→みんなそっち行く。→違うスタッフさん。こっちきてーーー!→みんなそっち行く。。。→これは、結構疲れました^^;笑
おかげでたくさんイルカと遭遇することができましたが・・・。
誰かお気に入りのスタッフさんを見つけて、その人にずっとついているのも良いかと思いました。
とても良いツアーだと思います。機会があれば参加してみてはいかがでしょうか?

Until the day before, the weather on Oahu was not looking good, and I was very anxious, but it turned sunny with the tour pickup.
I was worried about the temperature and water temperature since I had a 7-year-old child with me, but both were warmer than I expected, and I didn't feel particularly cold. For those who are concerned, I think a surf top would be sufficient.
The sandbar was a truly beautiful place. I felt that seeing it in person was worth more than hearing about it a hundred times. Additionally, snorkeling near the coral after visiting the sandbar was also a delightful experience.
I appreciated the captain's playful service as well.
前日まで、オアフ島の天候も思わしくなく非常に不安でしたが、ツアーのピックアップと共に晴天になりました。
子ども(7歳)がいたので気温と水温が心配でしたが、思ったよりも気温、水温とも温かく特に寒いと感じることはありませんでした。心配な方は、サーフィン用のタッパーがあれば十分と思います。
サンドバーは、とても素敵な場所でした。一見は百聞にしかずとはこのことと感じました。また、サンドバー見学に続いての珊瑚付近でのシュノーケルもまた一興でした。
キャプテンの茶目っ気たっぷりのサービスもありがたかったです。

Last year, the tour was in the morning, and this time it was in the afternoon. Although it was a different company's tour, there wasn't much difference in content. Perhaps because it was the same season, even though they advertised that the boat would dock in the most favorable position, I felt that the distance from the boat to the sandbar was quite far, and the water level was higher than last year. The lunch was quite good, and the malasadas were delicious. The staff worked hard to keep everyone excited and raised their energy levels, but personally, I would have preferred a quieter, more relaxed experience. The photos taken at the sandbar that were uploaded to the website were a bit embarrassing, but I was still happy about it.
昨年は午前中、今回は午後のツアー。前回とは違う会社のツアーで、殆ど内容の違いはなかったのですが、時期が同じというのもあるのでしょうが、一番優遇されている位置にボートが停泊するとうたっていた割には、ボートからサンドバーまでの距離が遠かったように思いましたし、昨年よりも水位が高かったです。ランチの内容はかなりGOODです。マラサダも美味しかったです。スタッフのみなさんは、みんなを盛り上げようと、かなりテンション上げて頑張っていましたが、私的には、もう少し静かに、ゆったりと過ごしたかったな--。サンドバーで順番に撮っていただいた写真がHPにアップされていたのは、少々恥ずかしいけど、やっぱり嬉しいです。

It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication based on the information I gathered beforehand. Thanks to that, despite feeling unwell, I was able to forget the discomfort and enjoy myself.
The $10 wet gear rental was also a big plus. Considering the temperature difference when getting out of the water in December, I can't imagine doing it without that.
From a large family including grandparents to just two mothers and children, couples, and friends, various generations became "classmates," which made me wonder how it would go, but the "class representative" did a great job of bringing everyone together.
On the boat, you could really feel the crew, led by the captain, working together to ensure everyone had a good time, and their attention to safety left a great impression.
And of course, the dolphins and turtles made an appearance, which was incredibly exciting. Since they are wild, it was just a fleeting moment, but then a whale even showed off its spout and tail! That might have been the most thrilling part, haha. The professional photographer captured every scene, and even though it was pricey, I ended up buying the CD and DVD set. Considering I couldn't take those photos myself, it felt reasonable.
I also can't forget how delicious the cheeseburger we received on the way back was (though I was only able to eat half due to feeling unwell, which was a shame).
Honestly, I thought it was a bit pricey compared to other tours, but if you're looking to enjoy yourself without worries, I highly recommend this tour. By the way, the dolphin university bag we received at the end was very useful as a souvenir bag when returning home.
あらかじめ仕入れた情報で酔い止めを飲んでおいて正解でした。おかげで体調不良にも関わらず、つらさを忘れて楽しむことができました。
ウェット10ドルの貸し出しがあったのも大きかった。12月の海はもちろん、水から上がったときの温度差を思うとこれ無しは考えられなかった。
おじいちゃんおばあちゃんを含む大家族から、母子2人、カップルやお友達同士など様々な世代が「同級生」となり、どうかな~とちょっと思ったけれど、「学級委員長」が上手にまとめておられました。
船の上では、キャプテン以下皆さんが一丸となって楽しませよう!とする姿勢がビシビシと感じられて、さらに安全に対するケアもちゃんとされていて好印象。
そして肝心のイルカ先生もカメ先生も登場して、大興奮でした。野生なのでまぁ一瞬なのですが…。さらにはクジラ先生まで潮吹きと尻尾を披露!!これが実は一番興奮したかも>笑。写真はプロの方がどのシーンも押さえており、高いながらもCDとDVDのセットを買っちゃいました。自分で撮れないことを思えばリーズナブル☆
さらに帰りにいただいたチーズバーガーの美味しかったのが忘れられません(といいつつ体調不良で半分が限界だったのが残念)。
他のツアーに比べて値が張るな~と正直思いつつも、アレコレ安心して楽しむならオススメのツアーです。
ちなみに最後にいただいたイルカ大学のバッグ、帰国時にはお土産用のかばんとして大活躍しました。

I thought that I might only see dolphins from a distance, but they came right up close enough to touch! I highly recommend this for those who are snorkeling for the first time or visiting Hawaii for the first time! My family was also visiting Hawaii and traveling abroad for the first time, and at first, we were a bit nervous, but all the staff were so kind that by the time we left, everyone was smiling. It was great to hear my family say, "Thank you for choosing this tour!" at the end!
イルカが本当に見れるのか、見れてもちょっと遠目からなんだと思っていましたが、手が届きそうなところまでイルカが来てくれました!
シュノーケリングが初めて、ハワイが初めての方にぜひおすすめだと思います!
私のファミリーもハワイ初めて、海外初めてで、最初は緊張気味だったのですが、スタッフの方がみんな優しくて帰る頃には皆にこにこの笑顔でした。最後にファミリーに「このツアーを選んでくれてありがとう」と言ってもらえたのが良かったです!

November in Hawaii is the rainy season, but it was sunny on the day of our visit!
It wasn't too early in the morning, and for a light breakfast, we enjoyed malasadas from Leonard's. The freshly fried donuts were delicious.
At first, we headed north by boat, but it turned out there were no dolphins, so we returned south. I was a bit anxious thinking we might not see any, but the professionals had the latest dolphin information, and when we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, everyone was thrilled.
Once we got into the water, it took a little while to get the hang of it, and I couldn't see them well at first, but I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyuu-kyuu," which indicated they were nearby. Once I got used to it, they came close, and it was incredibly moving to swim right beside them. There were baby dolphins too!
We saw a type of dolphin called the spinner dolphin, and it was true that they spin even in the wild. I witnessed them spinning a couple of times.
The water was a bit cold, so I rented a wetsuit for my upper body for $10. If you're worried about the cold, I definitely recommend renting one; it also helps with buoyancy.
I also had fun trying stand-up paddle surfing, which I had personally wanted to do.
I was so captivated by the dolphins that I didn't have much time to relax while snorkeling. I think the original plan was to swim with dolphins in the north and snorkel (to see sea turtles) in the south. However, we did catch a glimpse of a sea turtle from the boat on the way back. We also saw a seal come close to the boat, and it was adorable!
In diving, we encounter sea turtles almost every time, but for dolphins, you really have to search for them. I'm grateful to Dolphin University for their professional dolphin search.
The staff were also very friendly, and we had a fun and comfortable time on the boat. I definitely want to go again next time!
11月のハワイは雨期ですが、当日は晴れ!
朝も恐ろしいほど早くはなく、軽い朝ごはんに、「レナーズ」のマラサダをいただけます。
揚げたてドーナツは美味しいです。
最初、ノースのほうへ船を向けていましたが、イルカがいないことが判明し、南に戻りました。これは、会えないのかも。。と少し不安になりましたが、そこはプロ。イルカ情報が入り、船上からイルカの背びれが見えたらみんな大興奮でした。
海に入ってしばらくは要領を得ずに、うまく見られませんでしたが、イルカの鳴き声が「キュウーキュウー」と聞こえてきて近くにいることがわかりました。慣れてきたら、近くにやってきたのでしっかりそばを泳げてすごく感動的でした。子イルカもいましたよ!
あと、ハシナガイルカという種類で、野生でもスピンをするっていう話があったのですが本当でした。2度ほど、クルクルクルっとスピンするのを見られました。
少し水が冷たいので10ドルで上半身のウェットスーツを借りました。冷たいとテンションが下がるので、心配な人は絶対借りたほうがいいです。浮力も上がります。
あと個人的にやってみたかったスタンドアップパドルサーフィンも体験できて楽しかったです。
イルカに夢中でシュノーケリングはあんまりゆっくりする時間はありませんでした。たぶん、当初の予定では、ノースでイルカスイム、南でシュノーケリング(ウミガメ見る)だったのかなと思います。でも帰りの船の中から一瞬ウミガメも見られましたね。あと、アザラシも船に近付いてきて見られました。かわいかった~
ダイビングでは、ウミガメはほぼ毎回遭遇しますが、イルカは、やはり探さないと見つからないと思います。イルカ大学さんのプロのイルカ捜索に感謝です。
あと、スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーで、船の上でもずっと楽しく居心地のいい時間を過ごせました。
また次回も行きたいなぁと思います!
