I can't swim at all, but I thought that if I wore a life jacket, I would float. I figured that if I put on a snorkel, I could manage to breathe somehow. After all, swimming with wild dolphins and encountering sea turtles is something you can't do every day, right? I was so excited that right after signing up, I even dreamed about swimming with dolphins.
On the day of the event, I had just arrived in Hawaii the day before, so waking up early was tough. But for the dolphins and sea turtles, it was worth it! By the way, the staff from Dolphin Middle School even gave us a morning call! On the bus ride there, we listened to explanations and once we arrived at the port, we rented wet suits and put them on right there, ready to go. As soon as we left the port, there were dolphins!
To get into the sea, we had to put on fins and snorkels, and one by one, jump in from the back of the boat. I was scared to jump in since I can't swim... But I was pushed to hurry, so I steeled myself and jumped in. From that moment, I panicked and couldn't focus on learning from the dolphins. I couldn't keep up with everyone and was just trying to stay afloat in the water. At first, I clung to my husband, but then suddenly, I found myself being pulled along by Yuriko, the instructor and class member for that day, who was holding my hand!
She guided me to the dolphins, allowing me to swim along with her (^^) I was so moved! It felt like I was in a dream. But this was all thanks to Yuriko! Without her support, I might have just floundered in the sea (^^; I am incredibly grateful! Thank you! I was also impressed by how attentive she was. She wasn't just an accompanying instructor; she provided solid support and was very observant. Amazing! I was thrilled by the dolphins, but I was equally touched by Yuriko's support☆ She quickly remembered the names of everyone on the tour, and two days later, I was surprised when she called out to me in town (>_<).
Anyway, I got sidetracked... After swimming with the dolphins, we returned to the boat and headed to the next spot. This time, we went to meet the sea turtles☆ Here too, we...
私は、まったく泳げないんですがライフジャケットつければ浮くし。
シュノーケルつければ、息継ぎもなんとかなるだろうと言う考えで申し込みました。
だって、野生のイルカと泳げてウミガメにも出会えるなんて、普通じゃできないでしょ?
すごい楽しみで仕方なくて、申し込んだ直後にイルカと泳いでる夢見ちゃったりして。
当日、ハワイに着いた次の日だったので早起きは辛かったですけど。
イルカとウミガメのためなら、なんのその!
ちなみに、イルカ中学のスタッフの方がモーニングコールもしてくれます!!
行きのバスの中で、説明等を聞き。
港に着いて、ウエットスーツをレンタルしてその場で着て、いざ出陣。
港を出てすぐにもうイルカ先生がいるの!!
で、海へと繰り出すには、足ひれとシュノーケルをつけ、ボートの後ろから順番に、つるんっと飛び込むんだけど。
泳げない私、飛び込むのも怖くて。。
でも、早く!と押されるので、意を決して飛び込みました。
もう、その時からパニックで、イルカ先生から学ぶ所じゃなくなった私。
到底、みんなにも着いていけないし、海の中にいるのに精一杯。
始めは、旦那にしがみついてたけど、ふっと急にぐいぐい引っ張られるように泳ぐ私。
あれ?と思ったら、なんとその日のインストラクターであり学級員でもあるYurikoさんが私の手を握って泳いでくれてるではありませんか!!
イルカ先生の所にぐいぐい連れて行ってくれるので、追いかけるように一緒に泳ぐことができました(^^)
もう、ちょー感激!!夢の中にいるみたいで。
でも、これも学級員のYurikoさんのお陰です!あのサポートが無かったら、海でもがいて終了だったかもです(^^;
すごいとっても感謝☆ありがとう!
というか、よく見てるな~と思いました。
ただ、付き添うインストラクターではなくサポートをしっかりしてくれるし、よく気がつくし。すごい!!
イルカにも大感激だったけど。Yurikoさんのサポートにも感激でした☆
ツアーに参加している人の名前もすぐに覚えてくれて、ツアー後2日経って、町中で声かけられたのにはびっくりしちゃいましたよ(>_<)
で、話しがづれましたが。。
イルカ先生と泳いで一度、船に戻り次のスポットへ。
今度はウミガメ先生に会いにいきました☆

I've never seen such a beautiful sea... I was moved.
It's not like the shallow waters in Japan; in the morning, due to the tides, the sand doesn't show, so you definitely have to walk in the areas where the tide has gone out.
I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the BBQ was delicious—I'll definitely go again!
今まで見たこともない美しい海・・・感動しました。
日本の海にある浅瀬ではないんですね、午前中は潮の満ち引きの関係で砂が顔を出さないとか、絶対潮が引いたとこを歩かなきゃ駄目ですよね。
シュノーケリングも楽しめましたしBBQも美味しかったー、絶対もう一度行く!

I researched the data and it was perfectly low tide, so I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour. The staff created a fun atmosphere, and I ended up having a great time. The BBQ lunch was unexpectedly delicious, and I even encountered sea turtles while snorkeling.
At Sandwalk, we had plenty of time, and the staff took photos of all the participants and uploaded them to the website, so I was able to see them right after returning home, which helped me recall the enjoyable time we had. It not only reminded me of our experience but also of the other participants, making it even more memorable.
If I could wish for something, I would like the snorkeling time to be longer. While I understand the importance of the explanations, I felt they were a bit lengthy. They are necessary for beginners, but not for those who are more experienced. Perhaps grouping participants according to their skill levels would be a good idea.
Also, one of the photos taken is sold, but I was disappointed because I thought it would be a larger size, not the standard size. Honestly, $10 is quite expensive for that, especially since the backing is very plain.
Overall, I really enjoyed the content and felt it was worth participating in.
データを調べてバッチリ干潮時だったので、午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。スタッフの方の楽しい雰囲気作りにいつの間にか乗せられてとても楽しむことができました。予想以上に美味しかったBBQランチ、シュノーケルでは海亀とも出会えました。
サンドウオークではたっぷりと時間があり、参加者全員の写真を撮りHPにアップしてくれたので、帰国後は直ぐに見ることができて楽しかった時間を思い出せました。自分達だけでなく、参加者の方々を思い出せるのでより思い出深くなると思います。
欲を言えば、シュノーケルの時間をもっと長く取れると良いなと思います。大切だとは思いますが、説明時間が長いと思いました。初心者には必要ですが、慣れている方には不要ですから。
力量に合わせてグループ分けしてはどうでしょうか。
また、撮ってくれた写真1枚は販売されますが、普通サイズではなく一回り大きなサイズだと思っていたのでがっかりしました。
あれで$10は正直高いです。台紙も全く色気なしですから。
内容的にはとっても楽しめて参加して良かったと思いました。

I participated with my mother on our first overseas trip together. Since my mother is over 60, I was a bit worried about whether she would enjoy it among the younger participants, but thanks to the fun guidance from the staff and the stunning beauty of the ocean, those worries disappeared. We had a great time. My mother, who can't swim, stayed on the boat during the snorkeling time, but she was able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting seasick. I was truly glad that we didn't switch to a cheaper company after hearing that Captain Bruce's boat is the only one that can land on the sandbar. Thank you very much!
初海外の母と二人で親子参加しました。
還暦を過ぎた母ですし、若い人たちの参加の中で楽しめなかったらどうしよう~~と、少し不安でしたが、スタッフの方の楽しい案内や、あまりの海の綺麗さにそんな不安はどこへやら・・・。
とっても楽しかったです。
泳げない母は、シュノーケルの時間はずっと船の上でしたが、それでも船酔いすることなく、綺麗な海を堪能できたようでした。
キャプテンブルースの船が、唯一サンドバーに上陸できると聞いて、破格の値段の会社に乗り換えずによかった~~と心から思いました。
本当にありがとうございました!

Unfortunately, the sea was rough on the day I participated, and I couldn't see any dolphins or whales, which lowered my overall rating a bit.
However, the staff were friendly, and although I didn't get to meet any dolphins, I enjoyed the other activities.
I hope to participate again someday and swim with the dolphins next time.
There was an option to purchase photo data taken by the staff, and I signed up for it, but after returning home, I thought it might have been better to just stick with the photos we took ourselves. The slideshow included photos from other participants for $75, so... (In the end, I found that creating my own slideshow with just our photos turned out better.)
私が参加した日は残念ながら海が荒れていて、
イルカもクジラも全く見れなかったので
ちょっと評価が低くなってしまいました。
スタッフの方たちのフレンドリーなところや、
イルカに会えなかったのですが、
他のアクティビティには楽しませてもらいました。
またいつか参加して、今度こそイルカと泳ぎたいです。
スタッフが撮った写真データの販売があって、
申し込みましたが、
自分たちで撮った写真だけで良かったかなぁと
帰国してから思いました。

I participated in the Christmas season last month. Since it was winter, the sea was a bit rough, but it was such an amazing tour that I didn't mind at all. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they were really close! I was also surprised to see a whale for the first time! The staff were incredibly kind, which warmed my heart. The taro burger for lunch was delicious—I want to eat it again! The hula instructor was also very entertaining, making it a tour that any Hawaii lover would enjoy, allowing you to truly experience Hawaii. I've participated in other dolphin tours, but I think Dolphin and You is by far the best. Honestly, the quality of the staff and the content is unmatched compared to other dolphin tours. If you're looking for a satisfying tour, I absolutely recommend it!!!
先月クリスマスシーズンに参加しました。
冬ということで海はちょっと荒れ気味?だったけど、そんなこと気にならないくらい、超最高のツアーでした。イルカもたくさん見れたし、本当近かったです。クジラも初めて見てビックリしました!スタッフの皆さんもすごく親切で、心があったかくなりました♪ランチのタロイモのハンバーガー美味しかった~!また食べたいです。フラの先生もとっても面白くてハワイ好きにはたまらない、ハワイをしっかり体感できるツアーです。
他のイルカツアーも参加したことあるけど、やっぱりドルフィンアンドユーがダントツ一番と思います。正直、他のイルカのツアーと比べ物にならないくらい、スタッフも内容も質が高いです。
満足いくツアーを求めるなら絶対お勧めです!!!

I really wanted to swim with dolphins, so I considered various options, including theme parks, but I chose this one because it had so much to offer.
On the day of the tour, the sea was quite rough, and many people got seasick. I felt scared at first, but the photographer, Shera, smiled and said, "The captain is a veteran, so there's nothing to worry about!" This eased my tension, and I ended up having fun with the other participants. Thankfully, I was able to meet the dolphins without feeling seasick. They performed front flips and spin jumps right in front of me, and I was so impressed!!!
It seems that this was the only tour where I could swim with dolphins that day. This was all thanks to the veteran Captain Papa and the other staff who patiently searched for them. By the way, we also got to see a whale's tail and a jump.
I hope the sea is a bit calmer next time...
For those participating, I recommend preparing for seasickness and the cold. I think the best way to combat seasickness is to chat and have fun with the people around you!
とにかくイルカと泳ぎたくて、テーマパークも含めいろいろ検討しましたが、内容が盛りだくさんだったので、こちらを選びました。
当日は、結構海が荒れていて、船酔いする人も続出。
私も最初は怖さを感じていたのですが、カメラマンのSheraさんが「キャプテンはベテランだから怖がらなくて全然大丈夫!」と笑顔で言ってくれたことで緊張が解け、その後は他の参加者とはしゃいでいました。
そして、船酔いと無縁のまま、イルカに出会うことができました。
目の前でフロントフリップやスピンジャンプを見せてくれて、大感激!!!
この日海に入り、イルカと泳げたのはここのツアーだけだったようです。
これもベテランのキャプテンパパさんや他のスタッフのおかげです!本当に根気強く探してくれました。
ちなみに、クジラのおしりとジャンプも見られました。
次回はもうちょい海が穏やかだったらいいなぁ。。。
参加する方には、船酔い対策と寒さ対策をしておくことをお勧めします。一番の船酔い対策は、周りの人とたくさんおしゃべりをして、はしゃいじゃうことだと思います!

Wild Dolphin and Sea Turtle Snorkeling - Luxurious! Prestigious Dolphin University! (Oahu)
I participated on New Year's Eve this time, but the sea was rough... the boat was swaying... both my partner and I ended up feeling unwell (many others were also feeling sick).
However! Even in rough seas, there were good things, like the humpback whales performing spectacular high jumps!!! They jumped quite close to us, which was very exciting!
Unfortunately, there was no duet swim with dolphins as originally intended, as mentioned on the website and in the information; we only saw the pilot whales swimming from the boat.
At the end, we returned to the cove to play a bit, and the cheeseburgers that came out during that time might have been the best part... (I did jump into the rough sea once, but I didn't encounter any dolphins and felt like a passenger escaping from a sinking ship...)
The captain and the staff were very fun and nice people, so I didn't have any unpleasant experiences, and it was enjoyable. However, since we couldn't achieve the original goal, I give it three stars.
野生のイルカとウミガメシュノーケル 豪華!名門イルカ大学!(オアフ島)
今回は大晦日に参加しましたが、海があれてあれて・・・船がゆれてゆれて・・・私も彼女もダウンしてしましました
(他にもけっこうダウンされてました)
しかーし!荒れた海でもいいことはあるもので、ザトウクジラがハイジャンプの嵐!!!かなり近寄っても跳んでくれたので、とても興奮しました!
ただ残念ながら、本来の目的であったHPや案内にあるようなイルカとのデュエットスイムはまったく無し、ゴンドウイルカの泳ぎを船の上から見るだけでした。
最後に入り江に戻って軽く遊ぶのですが、その時に出てくるチーズバーガー始め、その時間がいちばん良かったかも・・・(一回は荒れた海に飛び込んだのですが、イルカとも遭遇せず、且つ沈没する船から逃げた乗客のようでした・・)
船長はじめ、スタッフはとても楽しくいい人たちなので嫌な思いは一切しませんし、楽しかったです。ただ本来の目的が達成できず、ということで星三つです。

I imagined a pristine white sandbar when I joined, but the timing of low tide and the tour didn't match, so it felt more like a shallow sea. It might be better to check the timing of the tour and low tide before participating. I would like to join again for a revenge trip. The BBQ for lunch was very delicious!
真っ白な砂浜サンドバーをイメージして参加しましたが、干潮の時間とツアーの時間合わず、浅瀬の海という感じでした。
ツアーの時間と干潮の時間が合う時期を調べて、参加されたほうが良いかもしれませんね。
リベンジでまた参加したいと思います。
お昼のBBQは、とてもおいしかったですよ!

I had heard from a friend who participated in October that it was cold and their lips turned purple, so I brought long sleeves along with a towel.
On the day of the event, there were a few clouds, but the weather was good with sunshine, and it was quite warm when the sun was out, so the water temperature didn't seem too low. However, during lunch, everyone was shivering while eating.
On the way to the sandbar, we saw several sea turtles. At the sandbar, we took commemorative photos and those who wanted to snorkel did so, but it was difficult for my 5-year-old to snorkel, so I thought one of us parents would stay on the boat with them. Just then, they brought a float with windows, and the captain helped the child onto the float and led the way, allowing the child to see fish through the float's window, which made them very happy.
As for the BBQ, I thought we would be grilling ourselves, but the food was already cooked and laid out, so it felt more like a buffet. The kalbi meat was very delicious. I was also happy to enjoy freshly made Leonard's malasadas. They let us take home any leftover food, which I thought was very good service.
My child was very excited and it was quite a handful, but the staff and other participants were all kind and interacted with the kids, so my child seemed to have a lot of fun and said they wanted to go again.
I chose the afternoon session for the BBQ, but even with a 12 PM pickup, we couldn't make good use of the morning, so I would like to participate in the morning session next time.
10月に参加した友人から、寒くて唇が紫になったと聞いていたので、タオルの他に長袖も持参して参加しました。
当日は若干雲が出ましたが、天気が良く日差しもあり、日の出ている時は暑いくらいだったので、水温もそんなに低くなかったようです。
とはいえ、ランチの時には皆ふるえながら食べていました。
サンドバーに向かう途中、ウミガメも数匹見られました。
サンドバーでは記念撮影をしてから希望者のみシュノーケルをしましたが、5歳児にシュノーケルは難しかったので、諦めて父母どちらかが一緒に船上で待っていようかな?と思っていたら、窓のついたフロートを持ってきてくださり、キャプテンが子供を乗せてフロートを引きながら先導してくれたので、子供もフロートの窓から魚を見ることができ、大喜びしていました。
BBQはその名の通り自分達で焼くのかな?と思っていたら、もう調理済みで並んでいたので、バフェって感じでしたが、カルビ肉はとても美味しかったです。
また、揚げたてのレナーズのマラサダもいただけて嬉しかったです。
残った料理等は適当に分けて持ち帰らせてくれたし、とても良いサービスだと思いました。
子供が大はしゃぎで大変でしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方も皆親切で、子供を相手してくれたので、子供はとても楽しかったようで、また行きたいと言っていました。
BBQ目当てで午後の部にしましたが、12時ピックアップでも午前は有効に使えなかったので、次回は午前の部に参加してみたいと思いました。

To be honest, I was filled with anxiety about participating with my family. My child is 5 years old and can't swim, and my wife has been to Hawaii 10 times but has never been here, so I was wondering what it would be like. However, when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. I had done some research beforehand and learned that the tide would be lower in the afternoon, so I apologize for changing our time from morning to afternoon, but I think it was a good decision. In the shallow areas, there was hardly 10 inches of water. It truly is a heavenly sea. There is no deception. You can immerse yourself in the happiness of experiencing nature's mysteries. I believe that during a full moon, the tide completely recedes. With global warming being a concern, I’m really glad I participated to show my child this beauty. I deeply reflect on how there can be such beautiful places on Earth. World leaders should experience this. Thank you very much. I was thrilled to learn that without this tour, we wouldn't be able to get the boat this close. My child was overjoyed and thoroughly enjoyed the heavenly sea. If possible, I sincerely hope that global warming stops and that my daughter can have the same experience again when she turns 20. Thank you very much to everyone on the tour.
正直言いまして、ファミリーでの参加に不安いっぱいでした。子供は5歳で泳げないし、妻は10回ハワイに来たけど来たことがないと言うし、どんなとこだろうと思ってましたが
、来てみたらあっと驚きました。事前に調べさせていただいて、潮の干渉時間で午後の方が引いていると分かって申し訳ないのですが、午前から午後に変更させていただいて、よかったと思いますが、浅いとこで10?もありませんでした。まさに天国の海です。偽りはありません。自然の神秘と体験できる幸せに浸れます。満月時とかだと完全に潮が引くと思います。地球温暖化が騒がれて、子供に見せたくて参加して本当に良かったです。地球にこんなに美しいところがあるのかとしみじみ思います。各国首脳は体験するべきです。ほんとうにありがとうございました。ここのツアーじゃないとこんなに近くまで船を着けられないと伺って幸せが倍増しました。子供は大喜びで天国の海を満喫しておりました。できれば地球温暖化がストップして娘が20歳になって再び同じ体験ができることを節に願います。ツアーの皆さまほんとうにありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, I received a notification from the hotel that the meeting time had been moved up, which allowed me to wait with peace of mind. I participated in five activities, but there was no communication regarding the other activities, which often left me feeling anxious, so I was relieved to have this update. Additionally, both Ryuuichi and Akemi, who came to pick us up, were Japanese and naturally spoke Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. The boat ride took about an hour, but along the way, they explained about the house of a famous sumo wrestler and the "What Tree Is That?" tree, making the time fly by.
On the boat, we had photographers Maeda and Merry, along with two other people who joined us, and we set off. The wind was chilly that day, but I was able to rent a wetsuit for $10, so I didn't feel cold while participating. We couldn't find dolphins in the first sea, but there were plenty in the next one. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to find them, but the boat cut through the waves like an attraction, and we even saw whales along the way, which was a quick experience. We were lucky enough to see whales twice.
When we found the dolphins, half of the group was able to swim with them, but the other half couldn't because the dolphins had moved. However, Ryuuichi noticed this and took us back to the location where the dolphins were, allowing the remaining people to swim with them as well. I appreciate Ryuuichi's thoughtfulness! Additionally, the attention to detail from all the staff regarding meals and facilities was excellent, and although my wife couldn't swim, she was able to participate with peace of mind. The dolphins were swimming with children, and they were incredibly cute and soothing. I was also able to see the dolphins up close thanks to Merry pulling me along.
There were other tour boats out as well, but ours was faster, and we coordinated with Dolphin University via radio to find the dolphins, which I believe significantly increased our chances of seeing them, so I highly recommend it! The tour photos cost $70, but they are great keepsakes, and Maeda's photos were wonderful, so I’m glad I bought them.
当日は、集合時間が早まる、との連絡をホテルに連絡いただき、安心して待つことができました。
5つのアクティビティに参加しましたが、他のアクティビティでは連絡はなく、不安な気持ちで待つ事がおおかったので安心できました。また迎えにきていただいた龍一さんと、あけみさんの二人とも日本の方で、当然日本語を話せる方で、安心できました。ボートまでは1h位でしたが、途中に小錦の家やこの木何の木の説明をしていただき、あっという間でした。またボートでは、写真撮影する前田さんやメリーさん、他にも2名の方も合流して、ボートは出発しました。当日は風が冷たかったのですが、ウェットスーツのンタルを10ドルでできますので、寒さを感じずに参加できました。イルカは最初の海では見つからず、次の海にはたくさんいました。イルカを探すまでにおおよそ1h30mくらいかかりましたが、船がアトラクションのように波を割って進んでいき、また途中に鯨がいて、あっという間でした。鯨は2回ほどみれて、運がよかったです。イルカを見つけ、半分の方はイルカと泳げましたが、残り半分の方はイルカが移動した為、一緒にイルカと泳げませんでしたが、龍一さんがそれに気がついて、もう一度イルカのいる場所に船で移動していただき、残りのか方もイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。龍一さんの気配りに感謝です!また他にも色々と食事とか設備とかすべてのスタッフの方の気配りが行き届いていて、私の家内はおよげませんでしたが、安心して参加できました。イルカは子供と一緒に泳いでいて、非常にかわいらしく、癒されました。私もメリーさんが引っ張ってもらって、すごい身近でイルカを見る事ができました。他にもツアーの船がでていましたが、船のスピードがこちらのほうが早いのと、イルカ大学と無線で連携をとり、イルカを探すので、イルカに見れる確率が非常に高いと思われますので、お勧めです!またツアーの写真は70$しますが、思い出に残りますし、前田さんのとる写真は素晴らしいので、買ってよかったです。

There were also two girls who were joining for the second time since coming to Hawaii.
Once you enter the sea, you are greeted by beautiful tropical fish that delight your eyes.
I could see dolphins jumping from the boat, but it was difficult to see them underwater, and I tried several times.
Thanks to the staff who diligently searched for spots where we could dive and guided us, we were able to see mother-and-baby dolphins and sea turtles.
On the boat, they played the ukulele and sang while we danced, and we had a lot of fun.
The captain was grilling hamburgers for us, but at that time, my stomach was not feeling well, so it took me quite a while to finish my meal. I felt a bit sorry as I was munching away while everyone else started dancing to the music.
All the staff, including Yuriko, were warm and friendly, and since this is an experience you can't easily have in Japan, I highly recommend it.

目の前繰り広げられる何回ものイルカのスピンジャンプ、イルカの赤ちゃん、終いには「キューキュー」というイルカの声まで聞け大満足でした!
イルカの他にもウミガメやきれいな魚達、さらに遠くにはクジラも泳いでおり感動の連続!本当に幸せな一時を過ごすことができました。
スタッフも皆さん明るく優しくサービス精神旺盛!フラダンスやウクレレを披露してくれました。

Waking up early was worth it! I had a truly wonderful experience. After praying and throwing flowers into the sea, we set off! Dolphins appeared right away. During snorkeling, they swam close enough to reach out and even we got to see a baby dolphin. The handmade burgers made on the boat were also fantastic. Onboard, we were able to witness the rare male hula performed by a local boy. It was a tour that satisfied me from start to finish. I definitely want to participate again!
早起きした甲斐がありました!とても素晴らしい体験ができました。
お祈りをして花を海の投げ入れてから出発!すぐにイルカが現れてくれました。
シュノーケルの時も手の届きそうな距離を泳いでいましたし、いるかの赤ちゃんまで見る事ができました。船上で作る手作りハンバーガーも最高でした。船上ではロコボーイの珍しい男性フラを拝見することが出来ました。最初から最後まで大満足させてくれるツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!
私は泳ぐことができなく、楽しめるのかな?船の上からでもちゃんとイルカが見れるのかな?と心配でした。
しかし!船の上からでもきちんとイルカに出会う事ができました。しかもイルカの群れ!
初めて見るイルカにとっても感動し、癒されました。
海中に潜ることはできませんでしたが、間近でイルカの群れを見れたり、カヤックにのったり、キャプテンが船上でハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、クルーの人達がフラを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いてくれたりととても充実した時間を送ることができました。泳げない人でも十分にハワイの海を楽しめるツアーでした。
スタッフの人皆とても明るくてフレンドリー!ハワイでの最高の思い出を作ることができました。ありがとうございます。

This trip was my second time in Hawaii★ Last year was my first experience in Hawaii, and I was completely captivated by this country, so I came back this year★ I wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I joined this heavenly ocean tour! I had read a lot of reviews before going, so I was filled with anticipation about what a fun tour it would be...♪ But... everything exceeded my expectations (>_<)
As someone who loves the ocean, this tour provided me with incredibly wonderful and happy moments (:▽;) The staff were all very fun, and the men were incredibly handsome... (>U<)★ I even got to take pictures with them~~♪ I've seen many oceans in Japan, but nothing compares to the ocean I was taken to on this tour!!
The blue, azure, and deep blue were beyond anything I could imagine in Japan!!!! The contrast of cobalt blue and emerald green was so beautiful that I genuinely felt grateful to be alive, without exaggeration (laughs). At the sandbar, there was really nothing to do... that time itself was pure "healing," and I realized how trivial my worries were... I was able to let go of everything★ It truly was a "power spot"★
I took many photos with the emerald green sea as a backdrop, in places used for filming Jurassic Park and Godzilla♪ It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I discovered the beauty of the underwater world for the first time, which is still vividly etched in my memory. I was thrilled to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling. After getting out of the water, I was able to see sea turtles from the boat multiple times, and that alone made me incredibly happy.
This became my best memory from the four-night, six-day trip!!★ I brought a waterproof digital camera, so I was able to capture plenty of photos underwater and at the sandbar, and I’m very satisfied with that. I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you can♪ I will definitely participate again next year (^3^)
今回の旅行は私にとってハワイ二度目★
去年ハワイ初体験でもうすっかりこの国に魅了されてしまい今年もやってまいりました★今回はハワイならではのことが体験したくてこの天国の海ツアーに参加しました!行く前から口コミでもたくさん読んでいたのでどんな楽しいツアーなんだろ・・♪と期待に胸をふくらませておりましたが・・・・・
もう、、、すべてが想像以上でした(>_<)
海大好きな私にとってこのツアーはたまらなく素晴らしい幸せな時間が過ごせました(:▽;)スタッフの皆さまも非常に楽しくまた男性は非常にかっこよく・・(>U<)★一緒に写真撮ってもらっちゃいました~~♪
日本でたくさんの海をみてきましたがこのツアーで連れてっていただいた海にかなうものはありません!!
日本では考えれないぐらい青い蒼い碧い!!!!
コバルトブルーとエメラルドグリーンのコントラストがとても美しく心底。。大袈裟でなく生きててよかったと思いました(笑)サンドバーでは本当に何もすることがない・・その時間こそが「癒し」そのもので色んな自分の悩みがなんてちっぽけなものだったんだろ・・と全部ふっきれました★まさに【パワースポット】です★
ジュラシックパークやゴジラの撮影で使われていた場所をバックにエメラルドグリーンの海とたくさん写真を撮りました♪シュノーケルも初体験だったのですが海の中の美しさ素晴らしさを初めて知り、今でもしっかり目に焼き付いてます。海ガメさんにもシュノーケルのときに会うことができ感動の嵐でした。海からでて船の上からの何度も海ガメさんにあうことができてそれだけですごく幸せでした。
四泊六日の旅行の中で一番の思い出となりました!!★私は防水のデジカメを持って行ったので十分に海の中の写真やサンドバーでの写真を残すことができましてとても満足してるのでできれば防水のカメラを持っていくことをお勧めします♪来年も必ず参加します(^3^)

I participated in late October 2008!
The participants were all newlyweds. I saw it online and imagined a blue sea, but unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day. The water depth was up to my stomach, and we were far from the sandbar.
Also, be careful because the water is quite cold!
2008年10月下旬に参加しました!
参加者は新婚さんばかりでした。
ネットで見て、ブルーの海を想像していたのですが。。
当日は生憎天気が悪く、また水深もお腹のあたりまであり
サンドバーには程遠かったです。
また、かなり水が冷たいので、ご注意を!

This time, I aimed to participate on a low tide day!
...but I mistakenly checked the calendar, and it was almost high tide (;_;).
I set sail feeling a bit disappointed.
But that feeling quickly faded!
The ocean here is completely different from Waikiki Beach.
It's not like the beaches in the North; it really feels like you're taken right into the middle of the sea.
Even at high tide, there are shallow areas where adults can sit and relax.
As our guide Yuko said, it was a sea where you could just "do nothing and zone out."
The snorkeling afterward was fun, and swimming while watching turtles was the best!!
Even those who can't swim can look for them from the boat.
Most of the staff are Japanese, so there's peace of mind in terms of language.
I think people of all ages can enjoy it safely and comfortably.
I participated in the morning session this time, but I definitely want to join the afternoon session next time.
Or if there's a full-day plan, I would definitely go!
今回は干潮日を狙って参加!
…したのに暦のみ間違いでほぼ満潮(;_;)
ちょっと残念な気分のまま出航しました。
でもそんなのすぐ晴れます!
ワイキキビーチとはまるで違う自然の中の海。
ノースのようなビーチとも違い、
本当に海の真ん中に連れて行かれる感じです。
満潮時でもオトナなら座れる程度の浅瀬でぼんやりタイム。
ガイドのゆうこさんが仰っていた通り、
『何にもしないでぼーっとする』ことの出来る海でした。
その後のシュノーケルも楽しかったし、
なんと言っても亀を見ながら泳げるのはサイコー!!
泳げないヒトも船上から見れるよう探してくれます。
スタッフはほとんどが日本人なので、言葉の面も安心。
老若男女問わずみんなで安心して楽しめると思います。
今回は午前の分で参加したけど、
今度は是非午後の分で参加したいです。
もしくは1日プランがあれば、ココなら行きます!

I went on September 21.
There are other tours where you can swim with dolphins, but this is the only one where you can swim with wild dolphins!
The price is a bit high, but I think you'll encounter more fish and swimming turtles than at Hanauma Bay.
The website also has testimonials, images, and videos for reference: www.iruka.com
9月21日に行ってきました。
他にもイルカと泳げるツアーはありますが、野生のイルカと泳げるのはココだけ!
ちょっと値段は高いですが、ハナウマ湾に行くよりも多くの魚や泳ぐ亀に出会えると思います。

I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!
While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!
A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!
It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪
After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.
The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.
Thank you for this precious experience!
初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました!
のどかな風景を眺めつつ、オアフ島西部ワイアナエ・ハーバーへ!透き通っててきれいな海をボートで沖へ5分ほど行ったところで、泳ぐ準備をしました。丁寧な説明を受けながら、ウェットスーツ(上半身)とライフジャケットに着替えていたら、イルカの群れが!
ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです!合計で20~30頭くらいかな?中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも!よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ!!!
今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪
その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング!ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。
はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。
貴重な体験を有難うございます!

On September 8th, I enrolled at the prestigious Dolphin University for the first time. Since I was a child, it has been my dream to swim with dolphins, and I finally got to fulfill that dream this time.
As others have written, the excitement of encountering dolphins and swimming with them is beyond measure. This is something you must experience for yourself and truly feel. The other tour activities are also plentiful, so there's no doubt you'll be satisfied.
Moreover, the staff members are incredibly kind. They welcomed us with warm smiles, and I could feel their genuine effort to make our experience enjoyable.
What left the biggest impression on me during this tour was not only swimming with the dolphins but also Yuriko's feelings towards the dolphins and her message to us. I was truly moved by this. You might think it's an exaggeration, but after listening to Yuriko's stories on the boat, I feel like my perspective on life has slightly changed. I realized the importance of cherishing each day, remembering to be grateful, and valuing who I am now.
There may be other tours that offer "swimming with wild dolphins," but I believe there are many experiences that can only be found at this prestigious university.
I will definitely participate in this tour again! And when I have friends visiting Hawaii, I want to recommend this tour without hesitation.
9月8日、初めて名門イルカ大学に入学しました。
私は小さい頃からイルカと一緒に泳ぐことが夢だったのですが、
今回ようやくその夢を叶えることができました。
他の方も書いている通り、イルカと遭遇し一緒に泳げたときの感動といったら、もう計り知れません。
これは実際に体験して、ぜひ感じて欲しいです。
他のツアー内容も盛り沢山で、満足することは間違いなしです。
そして、スタッフの方は本当に親切です。
とても温かい笑顔で私たちを迎えてくれ、楽しませようと必死になってくれてる気持ちが伝わりました。
私がこのツアーで一番印象に残ったことは、イルカと一緒に泳げたことはもちろんですが、ユリコさんのイルカに対する思いや、
私たちへのメッセージです。
これには本当に心を打たれました。
大げさだと思うかもしれませんが、船の中で百合子さんが話してくれたお話を聞いて、人生感が少し変わった気がします。
一日一日を大切にし、日々感謝することを忘れず、今の自分を大切にしようと思うことができました。
『野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ』このような内容のツアーは他も探せば出てくるかもしれません。
ですが、この名門大学でしか味わえないことは沢山あると思います。
絶対にまたこのツアーに参加しにいきます!!
そしてハワイに行く友達がいるときは、
迷わずこのツアーをお勧めしたいと思っています。

I was really looking forward to this tour because it promised that we would definitely see dolphins... and we encountered a pod of dolphins about 4 to 5 times!! When we dropped into the sea at a dolphin spotting location and floated for a while, a few dolphins came over... The guide said, "Dolphins here!" and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds. It was just amazing!!
After that, we moved by boat to a spot where we could see lots of fish and enjoyed snorkeling. When I held out some bread, the little yellow fish came right up to eat it. It felt like being in a natural aquarium, and we also enjoyed kayaking, making it accessible for a wide range of ages. There were actually little kids, pregnant women, and grandfathers participating with their grandchildren! For those who are not confident swimmers, the staff is there to support you, so there's absolutely no need to worry. You really shouldn't miss this; it's an incredible experience!
イルカに必ず会えるとのことで、とっても楽しみにしていたツアーでしたが・・・イルカの群れに4~5回は遭遇できました!!
イルカに出会えるスポットで海にチャポンと落ちて、しばらく海に漂っていたところ、イルカが数頭でやってきて・・・ガイドさんが「イルカここぉぉ~」と教えてくれます。キューキューとイルカの声まで聞こえましたよ。もう感激です!!
その後はまた船で移動して、魚がいっぱい見られるスポットでのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。手にパンを持つと、黄色いお魚さんがパクパク食べにくるんですよ。天然の水族館に癒され、カヤックも楽しめたりと幅広い年齢層での参加が可能と思います。実際にちっちゃいお子さん、妊婦さん、孫たちと一緒に参加のおじいちゃんなどおられましたよ♪泳ぎが苦手な方は、スタッフさんがついてサポートしてくれるので心配は全くありません☆行かなきゃ損っていうくらい最高の時間を過ごせますよ

I participated with children, and thanks to the very attentive Yuriko, we had a great time. We had malasadas for breakfast, so even though the mornings were early, the kids were fine. The sea was calm and very clear, and when we saw a pod of dolphins, it was truly healing. The boat didn't rock much, so there were no seasick people, and everyone was able to enjoy themselves happily.
子供ずれで参加しましたが、とても面倒見の良い百合子さんのおかげで、楽しく過ごせました。
朝ごはん代わりに、マラサダを食べられるので、朝が早いのですが、子供も大丈夫でした。
海も穏やかで、とても透明度がよく、イルカのむれを見たときは、ほんとに気持ちがいやされました。
船も、あまり揺れないので、酔っている人もなく、みんなハッピーに過ごせました。

I participated in a morning plan on September 1st.
Contrary to the clear skies in Waikiki, the area around Kaneohe Bay was unfortunately cloudy. Moreover, the sandbar we were looking forward to visiting had its low tide at just after 6 AM that day, so by the time we arrived, the water level was already up to our knees, and we couldn't stroll on the white sandbar like in the commercials. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the sandbar, I recommend doing some thorough research beforehand.
After returning to the boat and enjoying some light snacks like bread, chips, and fruits, we went snorkeling. A Japanese staff member kindly explained how to use the equipment, so I think even beginners will be fine. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the visibility underwater wasn't very clear, but we were still able to see the coral reefs and tropical fish perfectly.
After that, we changed locations for a second snorkeling session. We were supposed to swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, none appeared (cry). However, we were able to see a sea turtle surfacing for air from the boat at another spot♪
On the way back, you can ride in the shuttle car in your swimsuit, so if you have something to throw on, you won't need to change. However, it can get quite cold on the boat, so it's better to have a jacket. Depending on the weather, I wore a hoodie and wrapped myself in a bath towel. Also, since waves can splash into the boat, it might be a good idea to put your belongings in a waterproof bag. If you want to take photos without worrying about getting wet, a waterproof case for your digital camera is a must☆ They were selling waterproof cameras on the boat too, but I think it was around $25?
While I regret not seeing the sandbar due to the weather, the time spent in the beautiful sea became a great memory. I would love to participate again next time for a revenge trip♪
9月1日に午前発のプランに参加しました。
快晴のワイキキとは裏腹に、カネオヘ湾付近はあいにくの曇り空。しかも楽しみにしていたサンドバーは当日の干潮が午前6時過ぎだったということで、私達が到着した頃には既に膝下くらいまでの水位があり、CMのように白いサンドバーを闊歩・・・という具合にはいきませんでした。なのでどうしてもサンドバーを歩きたい!!という方は事前によく調べていくことをオススメします。
ボートに戻ってパンやチップス、フルーツなどの軽食を頂いた後はシュノーケルです。使い方など日本人のスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めての方でも大丈夫だと思いますよ☆曇天のせいか水中もあまりクリアではありませんでしたが、それでも珊瑚礁と熱帯魚はバッチリ見ることができました。
その後ポイントを変えて2度目のシュノーケル。ウミガメと泳ぐ~♪・・・ハズが、カメ現れず(泣)。でも、ボートに戻って他のポイントに行き、船上からでしたが水面で息継ぎをするウミガメに会うことができました♪
帰りは水着のまま送迎車に乗せてもらえるので、羽織るものでもあれば着替えは必要ありません。ただ、船上はかなり寒いので上着があった方がいいです。お天気にもよると思いますが、私はパーカーを着て更にバスタオルにくるまってました。あと、波しぶきが船内まで入ってくることもあるので持ち物はビニールバッグなど濡れてもいいバッグに入れて行った方がいいかもしれません。水濡れを気にせず写真を撮りたい方は、デジカメ用の防水ケースもマストです☆船上でも防水カメラ売ってましたが・・・25ドルだったかな?
お天気とサンドバーを見られなかったのが心残りでしたが、綺麗な海でのひと時はいい思い出になりました。次回、リベンジしにまた参加したいです♪

We participated as a family of three on August 25th (our child is a first-grade boy). I might have been the most excited when we encountered a pod of dolphins. I think it's rare to find a tour where you can swim with them. When we met a turtle, my husband jumped into the sea and touched its shell. Surprisingly, our child got really into paddle surfing and kept challenging himself until the end. It was a truly fulfilling tour that kept both kids and adults engaged. Also, the tour guides were really warm-hearted people, and I definitely want to participate again. Thank you, Yuriko, for keeping the atmosphere lively until the end!
8月25日に家族3人で参加しました。(子供は小1の男の子)イルカの群れに遭遇した時は私が一番興奮してたかも・・。一緒に泳ぐことのできるツアーはなかなかないと思います。亀に出会ったときは主人も海にとびこみ甲羅を触っていました。子供は意外にもパドルサーフィンにはまり最後まで挑戦していました。子供も大人も飽きることなく本当に充実したツアーです。あと、ツアーの方々が本当に温かい人たちで是非また参加したいです。ゆりこさん、最後まで明るくもりあげてくださってありがとうございました!
