It's perfectly fine to participate alone! 一人参加でも大丈夫！

Reviewed by: LIZ

There were 12 Japanese participants and 4 staff members, and the class representative, Yuriko, warmly welcomed us, easing our nerves. By the time we set out to sea on the Zodiac, I had already made friends with the other participants. No one experienced seasickness.

We went into the water twice and were captivated by a huge pod of dolphins that couldn't fit in the camera frame. We also saw three sea turtles, one of which came up to the surface, but it was surrounded by about 15 Western tourists from another tour who, not knowing it was an "endangered species," excitedly touched it and it quickly dove back down... Their manners were terrible (crying).

Swimming with dolphins felt like a dream, and I was truly moved by the many mystical sights we encountered! It seems there are also dolphin school trips and training camps, which I'm curious about. That day was warm, and since we didn't see any whales, I'm planning to join again during a slightly colder season next time!

参加者は12人の日本人と、スタッフさん4人で、学級委員長のユリコさんが明るく迎えてくれて緊張が解けたので、ゾディアックで海に出る頃には他の参加者さんと仲良くなれました。船酔いしてる人もいなかったです。

2回海に入って、カメラの画面に収まりきらない数のイルカの大群が見れて夢中になって泳ぎました。海亀も3匹見れて、1匹は海面に出て来てくれましたが他のツアーの欧米人15人位に囲まれ「絶滅保護動物」と知らないのか騒ぎながら一斉に触りすぐ海底に潜ってしまいました…マナーが悪すぎです(泣)　

イルカと泳げるなんて夢のようだったし、神秘的な光景が沢山見れて本当に感動します!!イルカ修学旅行やイルカ合宿もあるようでそれも気になってます。その日は暖かくクジラが見れなかったので次回はもう少し寒い時期に参加しようと計画中です！

Thank you! ありがと♪

Reviewed by: shizuka

My first overseas trip was to Hawaii.
What I was looking forward to the most was the class with the dolphins.
There were 10 Japanese participants, including my mother and me, 6 foreigners, and 4 staff members...
I guess that made for quite a large group?

I took a spot right at the front of the boat, and despite being blown by the strong wind, I had a really fun time.
After a short ride, we spotted a whale!
It was quite close, and I could hear the sound of it spouting water.
After seeing the whale, we went searching for the dolphin teachers...

There they were!
A bottlenose dolphin teacher.
However, it seemed that the bottlenose dolphin couldn't swim with us, so we just watched it, but it swam alongside the boat.
It was so close that I felt like I could almost touch it!
I was so excited and thrilled!
I wanted to keep playing tag with it... (laughs)

Though it was hard to say goodbye to the bottlenose dolphin, we moved on to search for the striped dolphin teacher.
Then we discovered a group of them!
I heard they were sleeping...
So, we quietly entered the water, trying not to splash, and put our faces in the water to watch the dolphin teachers.
Seeing so many dolphins swimming right below me was incredibly exciting and mysterious...
It's a shame I couldn't see them up close, but some participants might have had a good view?
I wanted to spend more time with the striped dolphins...
Reluctantly, we moved on to the next point to see the sea turtles.
Here, wearing life jackets was optional.
So, I decided not to wear one...
But it was cold, so I had borrowed a wetsuit from the start, which made it difficult to dive properly, but I was surprised to see a large sea turtle right next to me!
We swam together for a few seconds.
The sea turtle took a breath and dove deep, and I thought about following it, but I couldn't dive like the turtle... (sigh)
Next time I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again!
I learned a few tips, so next time, I'm eager to see many dolphin teachers.
The only downside was that it was cold...
Am I just too sensitive to the cold? (laughs)
I'm looking forward to participating during a warmer season next time.
Thank you very much, and I hope to do this again!☆

初めての海外旅行が、今回のハワイ。
そして何よりも楽しみにしていたのが、【イルカ中学】の授業でした。
参加者は、私と母を含め、日本人が10名、外国の方が6名、スタッフさんが4名・・・。
人数的には、多かったのかな？

私はボートの真ん前を陣取りスゴイ風にあおられながらも、とっても楽しい時間でした。
少し走ると、クジラさんが♪
結構近くにいたりして、潮を吹く音が聞こえました。
クジラさんを見た後は、イルカ先生探しに。。。

いました！
バンドウイルカ先生が。
でも、バンドウ先生は一緒に泳ぐことが出来ないらしく、ミテルだけでしたが、ボートと一緒に泳いでくれました。
とっても近くで、手で触れそうな至近距離！
ドキドキワクワクです♪
ずっと一緒に追いかけっこをしたいくらい。。。（笑）

名残惜しかったけど、バンドウ先生とバイバイして、今度はハシナガイルカ先生探しに。
そして群れでいる先生を発見♪
話によると、寝てるそうな・・・？
なので、そぉ~っと海に入って足をばたつかせないようにして海に顔をつけてイルカ先生ウォッチング。
沢山のイルカ先生が、自分の真下をスゥ~ッって泳いでいくのは、とっても興奮で、とっても不思議で・・・。
至近距離では見れなかったのが残念ですが、参加者した人の中では、良い感じに見れた人もいたかも？
ハシナガ先生とも、もっともっと居たかったけど。。。
後ろ髪を引かれつつも、次のウミガメさんのポイントへ移動。
ココではライフジャッケットの着用は自由。
なので、私はなしにして・・・。
でも、寒かったので、最初からウェットスーツを借りてきてたので、うまく潜ったり出来ませんでしたが、大きなウミガメさんが、すぐ真横にいてビックリ！
数秒でしたが一緒に泳いでました。
ウミガメさんは、息を吸って？深く下へもぐって行ってしまい、ついていこうと思ったけど、ウミガメさんのようには潜れず。。。（苦笑）
次回ハワイに来たらまた絶対に参加させてもらいたいです♪
チョットコツを覚えたので、今度は、沢山イルカ先生を見る気満々です。
残念なのは、寒かったこと・・・。
私が寒がりすぎなのか？（笑）
もう少し暖かい時期に参加するのを楽しみにしています。
また、是非よろしくお願い致します☆

The weather wasn't very good and it was a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the guide was very cheerful and it was fun. Also, we encountered a sea turtle, but it was really fast and we couldn't see it. It seems like the people at the front were able to see it... I want to try again. I would love to participate again!

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Snorkeling 4-13-09

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

It is moving. 感動します

Reviewed by: Hana

I participated with my cousin and her 5-year-old child. The weather was clear on the day, but the wind was very strong. The boat was rocking a lot, and we couldn't even eat the snacks that were served along the way. However, we encountered many dolphins. During the first try, we could even hear the dolphins' calls. Unfortunately, during the second try, we were late and couldn't see anything because I was calming the child who didn't want to get in the water, while others seemed very satisfied with the large number of whales they saw compared to the first try. It seems that it's a bit much for a 5-year-old. But it's okay to leave the child on the boat because the staff takes care of them. I brought my camera to take pictures of the dolphins, but the staff took many photos and will send them to us via email later. So, it seems better to just focus on watching the dolphins. We couldn't go to the Dragon Palace, but we did encounter whales and mantas. I think I will participate again next time.

いとことその子供（５歳）と３人で参加しました。
当日は、晴天でしたが、風がとても強かったです。
船は大揺れで、途中出された軽食も食べるどころではありませんでした。
ですが、たくさんのイルカに遭遇。一回目のトライでは、イルカの鳴き声まで聞くことができました。二回目のトライでは、出遅れてしまい何も見ることが出来ず、残念。というのも、水中に入らない子供をなだめていたからで、他の人たちは、一回目よりも大量のクジラに大満足のようでした。
やはり、５歳の子供には、無理のようです。でも、船上に子供を残しても、スタッフの方が面倒をみてくださるので大丈夫です。自分でイルカの写真を撮ろうとカメラを持っていったのですが、スタッフの方がたくさんの写真を撮っていて、あとでメールに送信してくださいます。ですから、ただ、イルカを見ることだけに専念する方がよさそうです。
竜宮城に行くことはできませんでしたが、クジラやマンタにも遭遇できましたよ。
また、次回も参加しようと思います。

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

Needs improvement for families

Reviewed by: Darlene

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: れもん

On the day we participated, fortunately, we encountered a pod of dolphins about 10 minutes after the boat departed. The sight of dolphins swimming in the ocean was very magical, and all the participants were captivated, swimming alongside the dolphins. While it's common to see dolphins and sea turtles at aquariums, I think swimming with wild dolphins and sea turtles is a rare experience. The staff were also very accommodating, making it a wonderful memory. I believe this tour is worth getting up early for. Since there are no changing facilities at the port, I recommend wearing clothes that are easy to put on and take off.

私たちが参加した日は，幸い，ボートが出港してから１０分くらいでイルカの群れに遭遇することができました。海の中でイルカが泳ぐ姿はとても幻想的で，参加者はみんな，夢中になってイルカと一緒に泳いでいました。水族館でイルカやウミガメを見ることはあっても，野生のイルカやウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことはなかなかできない経験だと思います。スタッフの方々の対応も良く，とても良い思い出になりました。早起きして参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。港には着替える場所が整っていないので，着脱しやすい服がおすすめです。

I was thrilled to meet a dolphin!! イルカに会えて感激！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I really wanted to see dolphins, so I joined this tour.

After about an hour's drive in a van, we arrived at Waianae Yacht Harbor. (The driving in this van was a bit rough...) From there, we moved to the dolphin point on a high-speed Zodiac! They said it was less likely to make you seasick because of the speed, but there were still about three people who got sick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. Also, they provide snacks and drinks on the boat, but if you're prone to seasickness, it's better to hold back on those.

The Zodiac was packed, with nearly 30 people on board, which was surprising!

I’m not sure how far we traveled, but we finally encountered a pod of dolphins!! I immediately jumped into the water to swim with them, but it didn’t go well, so I moved a bit and tried again! This time, the pod was swimming right underneath us, and I was so excited. The water wasn’t too cold, but it was chilly after getting out, so I definitely recommend borrowing a wetsuit. (It was $10 per person, paid after we got back to land.)

After swimming with the dolphins, we moved to a sea turtle spot! The water was so clear that you could almost see the bottom, and it was breathtaking. There were about three turtles as well. After enjoying snorkeling to the fullest, we returned to land. Once we were back, there was quite a bit of waiting time to write our impressions in a notebook and type our email addresses into something like a laptop before heading home. However, we were able to return to Waikiki by around 12:30, so we could enjoy other activities in the afternoon.

The wild dolphins were much smaller and cuter than I imagined. I highly recommend this tour for dolphin lovers!

イルカにどうしても会いたくて、このツアーに参加しました。

バンで１時間ほど走って、ワイアナエ・ヨット・ハーバーに到着。（このバンの運転は、ちょっと荒いです・・・）
そこから高速ソディアックで、イルカポイントへ移動！高速なので、酔いにくいということでしたが、やはり酔っている人が３人ぐらいいたので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。
あと、船の上で、お菓子や飲み物などを出してくれますが、酔いやすい人は、控えた方がいいと思います。
ソディアックは、こんなに乗れるの？というぐらい満員で、全員で30人弱ぐらい乗っていたと思います。

どれぐらいの距離を移動したかはわかりませんが、ついに、イルカの群れに遭遇！！
すぐに海に入り、イルカと一緒に泳ごうとしましたが、うまくいかず、少し移動して、もう一度トライ！
次は、ほんとに自分達の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいて、大興奮でした。
海の中は、そこまで寒くありませんでしたが、水から上がった後が寒いので、ウェットスーツは絶対借りた方がいいと思います。（一人$１０で、陸に着いた後、支払いました。）

イルカと泳いだ後は、海ガメスポットへ移動！
水が澄んでいて、底までみえそうなほど綺麗で、感動しました。カメも、３匹ぐらいいました。
シュノーケリングを十分楽しんでから、陸へ。
陸へ上がった後、感想をノートに書いたり、自分のメールアドレスをノートパソコンのようなものに打ちこんだりして、帰るまで、割と待ち時間があります。
でも、ワイキキに１２時半ぐらいまでに、帰れるので、昼からは、また違うことをして楽しめます。

野生のイルカ達は、想像よりずっと小さくて、とてもかわいかったですよ。イルカ好きの人には、おすすめのツアーです。

I boarded the pickup car with sleepy eyes, starting early in the morning. Since the wind was blowing, I asked if it would be shaky, but I was told the boat is fast, so it would be fine. On the way, we passed by the Hitachi tree and the house of a certain famous person, and then we arrived at our destination. After boarding, we had a light snack and headed to the whale watching spot. I was thrilled to see a mother and baby whale!

Next, we went to the dolphin watching point. Dolphins are nocturnal, so they come to shallow waters during the day, allowing us to safely observe them. Of course, we swam with them! They were so cute! It was a rare experience to see such a large group of dolphins.

Next, we went to the diving point.

I was very satisfied with the turtles, many fish, and the beautiful sea.

The staff were kind, fun, and made the experience enjoyable!

早朝スタートで眠い目をこすりながらお迎えの車に乗車☆
風がふいていたのでゆれるんじゃないか…って聞くと船が速いのでだいじょうぶのこと☆
行く途中に日立の木や某有名人のお家を横目に現地に到着☆
乗船後、軽食をとりクジラのウォッチングスポットへ
クジラの親子をみれて感激！！

次にイルカのウォッチングポイントへ…☆
イルカは夜行性なので昼間は浅瀬にくるので浅瀬で安全に鑑賞☆もちろん一緒におよぎました☆

Swim with dolphins. イルカと泳ぐ

Reviewed by: maki

From Waianae, about an hour's drive west of Waikiki on Oahu, we took a boat towards Ko Olina and headed to Kahe Point.
Right after we set off, we spotted a whale. It was far away, but we could see it clearly.
Then we encountered dolphins!
The water was cold, but the dolphins were amazing!!!
In the morning, it seems the dolphins swim while they are still sleeping. On that day, they were swimming quite slowly, but we couldn't catch up at all! After that, we moved to a spot with lots of fish, where we snorkeled, and then headed to Turtle Point.
Sea turtles are considered the guardians of the Hawaiian sea and are treated with great respect. If you touch one, there's a fine of 500,000 yen, haha.
But we were able to get quite close. Turtles can swim fast when they really try, but generally, they seem to just sway with the waves, and even as a snorkeling beginner, I could swim alongside them quite easily, haha.

Since it was such a great experience, I decided to try again on the last day!
This time, we heard there was a pod of dolphins at Makua, the westernmost point of Oahu, so we tried a different spot!
Makua is considered a sacred place. The sea there is truly beautiful.
Right after we set off, we spotted another whale! This time, we encountered a mother and calf! We were able to see them much closer than before. The largest creatures on Earth, their presence is breathtakingly beautiful.
Then we headed to the dolphin spot! There were even more dolphins than last time, including babies, and we were able to swim up close.

One of my dreams since childhood came true.
Thank you to all the middle school students who made this dolphin experience so addictive!

オアフ島の西、ワイキキから車で一時間くらいの所に有るワイアナエから、ボートに乗りコオリナ方面へボートを走らせカヘポイントへ。
出発早々クジラ発見、遠かったけどその姿はしっかり見れた。
そしてイルカに遭遇！
水は冷たかったけど、イルカ、、感動！！！
朝はイルカも寝ながら泳いでるらしい。この日はかなりゆっくり泳いでいるとか、でも全然追いつけない！その後、魚の多いポイントへ移動、そこでもシュノーケル、そしてタートルポイントへ。
ウミガメはハワイの海の守り神として、とても大事にされている。触ったら罰金５０万とかww
でもかなり接近出来ました。亀も本気で泳いだら早いんだろうけど、基本的には波に揺られてる感じだし、シュノーケル初心者の私でもかなり楽に一緒に泳げたw

せっかくだから、最終日にもう一度try!
この日はワイアナエからオアフ島の最西端にあるマクアにイルカの群れがいるとの事で前回とは違うポイントでtry!
マクアは聖地とされている場所。本当に美しい海。
出発早々またクジラ発見！今度は親子のクジラに遭遇！前回より近くに見る事が出来ました。地球上で一番大きな生物。その存在感は息をのむ美しさです。
そしてイルカのいるポイントへ！こちらも前回より群れの数も多く子供もいて、間近に泳ぐ事が出来ました。

子供の頃からの夢の一つがかないました。
かなり癖になりますいるか中学の皆さんありがとうございました。

On February 27th, my family of four (myself, my husband, our 3-year-old son, and my 64-year-old grandmother) participated. It was quite windy and cold that day, so we borrowed wetsuits and set off! We arrived at the dolphin point at a pretty high speed. Along the way, we were able to spot several whales as well!! While slowly swimming beneath many dolphins that were peacefully resting, we also took our time swimming. It was so soothing. My son found snorkeling a bit challenging for the first time, but he was very happy saying, "I saw a dolphin!" We were thrilled to meet many sea turtles and fish at the underwater palace. Yuriko and Ryuichi were also wonderful people, and we definitely plan to visit again!

Dolphins and sea turtles!! イルカにウミガメに！！

Reviewed by: ｓｏｒａ

I was excited from the morning knowing that we would see dolphins. Once we got on the van, the organizer quickly remembered everyone's names and chatted with us, making the journey enjoyable right from the start!

When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, we set off. The boat was a bit bumpy and scary, but I was so captivated by the magnificent scenery that I forgot about it. Wild dolphins appeared almost immediately, and one by one, we started jumping in from the boat. The dolphins were coming in groups, and it felt like they were swimming underneath us rather than just following us. It was my first time seeing dolphins in person, and I was so moved, especially when I could even hear their sounds!

After that, we went to see sea turtles. There were about four turtles in deeper water, and I was looking down at them from above. One of them came up to the surface, and it felt so close that I thought I could reach out and touch it! I managed to take some great photos too!

On the way back, we were given light snacks, and it was truly the best experience. It was a bit cold, but we could borrow wetsuits, so we managed to cope with the chill. Thank you, Yuriko and Aya!

イルカが見えるって事で朝からワクワクしていました。
バンに乗り込んで、すぐに主催者の方はすぐにみんなの名前を覚えてくれて、色々話しをしてくれて向かう時から楽しかったです！
港についてボートに乗り込んで、出発☆ボートは少しフワフワして怖かったんですが、雄大な景色に見とれてその事も忘れていました。
野生のイルカはすぐに現れて、あとはボートから順番に次々飛び込んでいって。どんどんイルカの群れが来て追っているというより、下を通って行く感じでした。初めて生でイルカを見て感動なのに、声まで聞こえてきてもっと感動でした♪
その後はウミガメを見に行きました。深い所にウミガメが４匹？ぐらいいて、上から眺めていたんですが、その内の１匹が水面まで上がってきて手が届きそうでした~近い！近い！と思うぐらいだった。そして写真はいいのが撮れました！
帰りは軽食を配って頂いて、本当に最高のいい体験ができました。少し寒いんですが、ウエットスーツも借りれるので寒さはなんとかしのげます。

I participated in the tour on February 11. I've been to Oahu countless times, but it was my first time in the West Coast area. I was first impressed by the clarity of the water. I wore a rash guard, but I thought it might be a bit cold. However, after borrowing a wetsuit, I found it really warm and comfortable. You should definitely wear one.

We encountered whales right after departing. Moreover, it was a mother and her calf. I was incredibly lucky to see the mother whale teaching her calf how to swim! And they were right next to the boat, spouting water multiple times. I was amazed by their size.

After seeing enough whales, we set off again to search for dolphins. We quickly encountered a pod of dolphins. I often see dolphins in captivity, but it was my first time swimming with so many wild dolphins! It seemed there were several groups, and dolphins kept coming one after another. There was even a group with a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute.

After that, we went to a spot with fish and sea turtles. There were lots of fish, and I saw two sea turtles. They say swimming with sea turtles brings happiness, and I felt like I received a lot of happiness.

Our guide, Yuriko, also made the tour even more enjoyable with her bright personality. Thank you very much. I will participate again.

2月11日のツアーに参加させていただきました。
オアフは数え切れないほど行っていますが、西海岸エリアは初めて。海の透明度にまず感動。
ラッシュガードは着ていったものの、やっぱり少し寒いかなと思っていましたが、ウェットスーツを借りてきたら、ほんとにあったかくて快適。これは絶対着たほうがいいです。
出港してすぐにクジラに遭遇。しかも親子連れ。なんとおかあさんクジラが子クジラに泳ぎを教えているところ。こんなのが見れるなんてものすごくラッキー！
しかも、ボートの真横。何度も潮を吹いて。その大きさに感動。
充分、クジラを見たあと、イルカを探して再び出発。
イルカの群れにもすぐに遭遇。
飼育されているイルカはしょっちゅう見ていましたが、野生のイルカをあんなにたくさん、しかも一緒に海の中で泳いだなんてもちろん初めて！
いくつかのグループがいたらしく、次から次へとイルカがやってきます。子イルカを連れたグループもいて、すごくかわいかった。
そのあと、お魚＆ウミガメスポットへ。お魚いっぱい。2頭のウミガメがいました。ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐと幸せになれるとか。たくさんのしあわせをもらった気がします。
ガイドのユリコさんの明るさもツアーを一層楽しいものにしてくれました。ありがとうございました。また参加します。

Memories of Hawaii ハワイの思い出

Reviewed by: aya

We participated as a family, including our 5-year-old child. Since it was an early morning activity, the temperature was quite low and it was really cold. Everything was a first experience after getting on the boat; we saw whales in the distance, and the experience of swimming close to a pod of dolphins is something I will never forget. My 5-year-old daughter, who was afraid of the ocean, was taken care of kindly by the staff member Yuriko, who swam with her the whole time. Even after returning home, we keep talking about the ocean that day with Yuriko. It seems to have become her best memory in Hawaii. I'm really glad we chose this tour among the various dolphin tours available. I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you very much.

５歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。
早朝からのアクティビティだったので、気温もだいぶ低くとにかく寒かったです。
ボートに乗ってからは全てが初体験で、鯨も遠くに見えたし、何頭ものイルカの群れを間近で泳いだ体験は一生忘れられません。
海を怖がっていた5歳の娘も、スタッフのユリコさんがずっと一緒に泳いで優しく面倒を見ていてくれて、帰ってからもずっとユリコさんとあの日の海の話をしています。
ハワイでの一番の思い出になったようでした。
色々あるイルカツアーの中でここを選んで本当に良かったです。

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

Peter is the best. ピーター最高

Reviewed by: ぐっち

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。（これは運が悪かった）

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、
シュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができた！
なにより現地のスタッフであるピーターさんが
非常に日本語も流暢であり、説明もうまく、
対応もすばらしかった。
移動中もいろいろと話ができ、とても満足のいく内容ｘでした。

補足ですが、ホテルからのピックアップから現地への
移動中にオバマ氏出身高校や、日立の木を見る事ができ、
移動スタッフの対応もよかったです。

次回ハワイにいけるようでしたら、またこのプランを
選ぼうと思います。

Live dolphins! 生イルカ！

Reviewed by: YOKO

On January 7th, I participated with my 68-year-old mother. When I reconfirmed, I hesitantly mentioned that I could swim, and the organizer, Yuriko, cheerfully agreed, saying, "How wonderful!" On the day of the event, she was high-energy from the morning, quickly remembering and calling out each participant's name, creating a lively atmosphere.

The west side of the island, Waianae, which is not often visited by other tours, has jagged mountains rising behind it. From the yacht harbor, we set out to sea on a speedy inflatable boat, a Zodiac, and the blue sea was clear enough to see down below! Fortunately, we spotted our first pod of dolphins about 30 minutes after departure and immediately jumped into the water! However, while the dolphins were visible from the boat, I couldn't catch up to them in the water, and I wasn't able to swim with them on my first try. Others who were swimming with me also returned to the boat for a retry after the pod swam away.

On the next attempt, we successfully chased the pod of dolphins from above! The playful spinner dolphins, true to their name, jumped and spun, swimming with their bellies up in the water, truly enjoying their freedom. At one point, I noticed a white spray from the dolphins in front of us... could it be... dolphin poop? Well, I guess it was a good omen for the new year (laughs).

After two dives at the dolphin point, we moved to the turtle point. Here, if you are confident in your swimming, you can remove your life jacket and swim while chasing the turtles. They are so close that you might be tempted to reach out and touch them. The turtles swim gracefully, flapping their fins that resemble angel wings. They are really cute! We also had two dives at the turtle point. Just when I thought I saw four turtles, I felt something prickly touching my hands and feet. I wondered if it was a jellyfish, but it turned out to be sea lice. I got a couple of small bumps on my hand that felt like mosquito bites, but they disappeared quickly. I heard that washing with vinegar helps.

Due to that, I gave up on the second dive midway, but the captain, KK, who is the top local lifeguard, took us to a surf point that locals usually keep to themselves, where we could watch the skills of advanced local surfers. We also got to see stand-up paddleboarding, which has recently become popular in Hawaii. Finally, we returned to the harbor while watching the dolphins from the boat.

1月7日に、68歳の母との参加でした。リコンファームの際、水泳はできますが…と恐る恐るそれを伝えてみると主催者のユリコさんは「まあステキ！」と快諾してくださり、当日は朝からハイテンションで寝ぼけ眼をこすりこすりの参加者ひとりひとりの名前をすぐ覚えて声をかけてくれ、盛り上げてくれます。

なかなか他のツアーでは行くことのできない島の西部、ワイアナエは後ろにギザギザの山が切り立ち、ヨットハーバーからスピードの出る軽いゴムボート、ゾディアックで海へ出ると下まで見通せる青い海！
我々は幸いにも出て30分くらいで最初のイルカの群れを発見でき、すぐ海へＧＯ！
しかし船の上からはゆっくり見えたイルカたちも海の中では追いつくことができず、最初のトライでは私は一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでした。一緒に泳いでいた人たちも、イルカの群れが離れてしまったということで一度船へ戻り再挑戦。
次のトライではずっとイルカの群れを上から追いかけることに成功！遊び好きなスピナードルフィンたちは、その名の通りジャンプにスピンに、水中ではお腹を上にして泳いだり、本当に自由を謳歌しています。
途中、前方のイルカから白い噴射物…　これはもしやフン…？などということもありましたがまあ新年早々ウンがついたということで（笑）

イルカポイントで２度のダイブの後は、ウミガメポイントへ移動。こちらでは泳ぎに自信があればライフジャケットを外せて、ずーっと亀先生を追いかけて泳ぎます。あんまり近いので思わず手を伸ばしそうになります。ウミガメは天使の羽そっくりのひれをパター、パターと動かして飛ぶように泳ぎます。ホントにかわいい！
ウミガメポイントでも２度のダイブ。今度は亀が４匹も！と思ったら時折チクチクと手足を差すものが。クラゲ？と思ったらシーライス（海シラミ）だそうです。私は手に２箇所ほどちょっと蚊に食われたくらいのふくらみができてすぐに消えましたが、お酢で洗うといいそうです。

そんなことで２度目のダイブは途中で断念しましたが船のキャプテンＫＫが地元のライフサーバーの一番偉い人！だそうで、その後はロコ以外は近づけないようなサーフポイントへ行ってくれて、地元の上級サーファーの妙技を見物。最近ハワイではやっているというスタンダップ・パドルも見学できました。
さらにはまたイルカたちを船上から見ながら帰港。

Rough Wave Special 荒波スペシャル

Reviewed by: はしもと

The day we participated was incredibly windy with high waves! The Dolphin Middle School uses a speedboat, so we easily navigated through the rough waters. Among the many dolphin exploration boats out that day, ours was the first to spot dolphins!! It seems that experience really matters when searching for dolphins!

Before other boats arrived, we had the dolphins all to ourselves! I was moved by the sight of so many dolphins swimming and jumping right in front of us. I was so engrossed that I swam alongside the dolphins. Although it was said that "the visibility of the sea is low after the rain," we could still see the seabed. It's hard to imagine that in Japan. I wonder how beautiful the sea is when it's clear? We also saw several sea turtles.

That day, due to the strong waves, the staff suggested playing in the sea inside the breakwater, and we wrapped up our time in the ocean early to visit nearby spiritual points and a local supermarket. The staff came up with various ideas, and it turned out to be a wonderful tour for our family, who were looking to do a spiritual tour and visit supermarkets.

Thanks to the cheerful and fun staff, including Yuriko and Maeda, we were able to enjoy our first trip to Hawaii. I definitely recommend this for those who are not confident in their English!!

参加した日は、ものすごく風の強い日で波も高い日！
イルカ中学校さんはスピードボートなので荒波を難なく超えていきます。
イルカ探索船が数多く出ている中で、この日はわたしたちのボートが一番先にイルカを発見！！イルカ探しは経験がものをいうそうです！
他のボートがやってくる前に、わたしたちの船だけでイルカを独占！

目の前でたくさんのイルカが泳いだり跳ねたりしている様子に感動！夢中になってイルカと一緒に泳ぎました。
「雨上がりで海の透明度は低い」という話でしたが、海底は見えるんですよ。日本では考えられないですよね。海がきれいなときは、どんなにきれいなんだろう？ウミガメも何匹も見ましたよ。

この日は波が強くて、防波堤の内側での海遊びを提案していただいたり、海を早めに切り上げて近くのスピリチュアルなポイントを巡ったり、地元のスーパーを見せてくれたりと、スタッフの皆さんが一生懸命色々なアイディアを提案していただきました。スピリチュアルツアーとスーパー巡りをしようとしていた我が家にはとってもうれしいツアーになりました。

日本人スタッフのYurikoさん、Maedaさんをはじめ、スタッフ全員が明るく楽しく、始めてのハワイを楽しむことができました。英語に自信のない方にも断然おすすめです！！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

From 2 years old to 67 years old. 2歳から６７歳まで

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family of seven, ranging from 2 to 67 years old, on New Year's Eve. It was very lucky that it was sunny only while we were walking on the sandbar.

Before boarding the boat, we were treated to famous donuts, and even though the BBQ time was a bit delayed, it was fine.

I was worried that my husband and my father, both 67 years old, might find it boring, but they borrowed wetsuits and got into the ocean. In the end, they only entered the sea on this tour in Hawaii, so I’m glad they participated.

The fathers didn’t do much in particular, but they enjoyed watching their 2-year-old grandchild swim with the floaties we brought while walking from the boat to the sandbar, which was waist-deep. They also enjoyed taking commemorative photos in the sea. The pictures turned out great.

The BBQ was delicious. We were all moved to see sea turtles. Since we were wearing wetsuits, we didn’t mind the cold.

大晦日に2歳から６７歳まで家族７人で参加しました。サンドバーで散歩する時だけ、晴れてとてもラッキーでした。

船に乗る前に有名な？ドーナツをふるまっていただいてBBQの時間が、少し遅くても、大丈夫でした。

67歳の私と主人の父達、２人にはつまらないかな、、と心配していましたがウエットスーツを借りて、海に入水。結局、２人はハワイで、このツアーでしか海に入らなかったので参加してよかったです。

父たちは特に何をするわけではなかったですが、
船からサンドバーまで、腰までの深さのところを歩くので持参した浮き輪で泳ぐ２歳の孫を見たり、
海で、記念撮影できた、という事が楽しかったようです。いい顔で撮れてます。

BBQも美味しかったです。
海亀も会えて家族全員感動しました。
ウエットを着ていたので寒さは気になりませんでした。

New Year's Dolphin Festival! 元旦イルカはじめ！

Reviewed by: KAORU

This time, I participated in a trip to Hawaii with my husband, his mother, his sister, and myself, making a group of four.

I was surprised by the welcoming whales as soon as the boat set sail. Shortly after, we encountered dolphins. We quietly approached them and were able to enter the water together to swim alongside them. During the first encounter, we couldn't get close, but during the second, I was able to see a dolphin swimming just below me. Then, we went snorkeling at Turtle Point. The turtles came very close to us, and we also enjoyed the tropical fish. Just when I thought we would head back to the harbor, the boat continued on to search for whales, and we were able to see them again near the far western tip of Oahu.

In contrast to the heavy rain in the morning, the boat was warm and sunny, and we leisurely enjoyed a ride that felt like being on a banana boat.

Although my husband and I were used to the ocean from diving, it was the first time for his sister and our 70-year-old mother to snorkel in deep water. With the guidance of the staff, they were able to see the dolphins up close and were very excited. We are truly grateful for their kindness. Our whole family was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

今回のハワイ旅行は夫とその母と妹と私の4人で参加しました。

船が出るとすぐの鯨のお出迎えにはびっくり。ほどなくイルカとも遭遇。そっと近寄って皆で海に入り一緒に泳ぐことができました。1回目は近くに寄れませんでしたが、2回目は自分のすぐ下を泳ぐイルカを見ることができました。そして、亀ポイントでのシュノーケリング。亀はすごく近くまで寄ってきてくれて、南方の海水魚も堪能しました。そして、そのまま港に帰るのかと思ったら、そのあとも、鯨を探してオアフ島のかなり西の先端のほうまで船を走らせてもう一度鯨を見ることができました。
朝方の大雨とは代わり、船上は暖かく日が差し、バナナボートのような船上ドライブをまったりと楽しみました。

私たち夫婦はダイビングなどで海に慣れていたものの、シュノーケルも足が着かない所ははじめてという妹と70歳の母もスタッフの方にガイドされて近くでイルカを見ることができ、大感激していました。本当に親切にしていただき感謝しております。家族皆安心して楽しむことができました。

Dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and whales. イルカ＆カメ＆熱帯魚＆クジラ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in August 2008 and had such a great time that I joined again at the end of December. December coincides with Hawaii's rainy season, and the weather was a bit uncertain. About ten days prior, there was heavy rain, and I was worried as the ocean turned brown, but by the end of the year, things had calmed down quite a bit.

On the day I had booked, the waves were high, so the tour itself was postponed. I had the option to cancel or reschedule, and I chose a different date to participate.

On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived on time, and we headed to the boat harbor to board the boat and set off. The weather was nice, and my spirits were high.

I thought it might be cold during this time, but it wasn't much different from when I participated in the summer; in fact, the water felt warmer. However, the water clarity was somewhat affected by the bad weather, and it was much clearer during the summer.

As for the dolphins I was hoping to see, I was able to swim with numerous dolphins multiple times, and I also observed turtles swimming gracefully. At the point with tropical fish, I got to play with a large number of them. This is where the advantage of participating in winter comes in: after swimming with the tropical fish, we headed out to the whale point by boat, and I was lucky enough to see a whale jump. It was truly a satisfying tour.

08年8月に参加し楽しかったので12月の年末にまた参加しました。12月はハワイの雨季にあたり天候が微妙な感じでした。特に10日前ぐらいは大雨が続き海が茶色に汚れるなど心配でしたが、年末の時期には大分落ち着いてきました。
　申込をしていた日は波が高いということでツアー自体が延期になりましたが、キャンセルするか別の日に振り返るかということで別の日程にしてもらい参加しました。
　ツアー当日は向かえのバスが時刻とおりに来て、ボートハーバーまで向かいボートに乗り込みいざ出発です。天候もよく気分上々でした。
　この時期は寒いかと思いましたが、夏に参加した時とそれほど違いはなく、逆に海の中の方が暖かいぐらいです。しかし、海の透明度は悪天候が続いたせいで濁りが多少あり夏の時の方が抜群でした。
　期待していたイルカちゃんですが、多数のイルカと何度も泳ぐことができ、カメも優雅に泳いでいるところを観察できました。熱帯魚のいるポイントでは大量の熱帯魚に戯れることができました。ここからが冬の参加のメリットですが、熱帯魚と泳いだ後にクジラポイントまでボートで出かけ、運よくクジラジャンプを見ることができ本当に満足いくツアーでした。

Reviewed by: FUKUDAファミリー

We participated as a family of four on Christmas Day. This has been our annual tradition of traveling to Hawaii for the past ten years, and for the last two or three years, we had been really interested in the dolphin tour. I'm so glad we decided to sign up this time. My daughters (22 and 20 years old) were truly thrilled to see such cute dolphins so close... They were really impressed, saying it was a tour that perfectly matched the name Dolphin You "Dolphins and Me"! When we got on the boat, it was incredibly cold, but the warm hospitality from the staff and the delicious cheese taro burgers we had, along with sweet cakes for Christmas, made us feel pampered. Everyone was very satisfied with Dolphin You. If we have the chance, we would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much.

家族4名でクリスマスの日に参加。10年前からの、毎年恒例のハワイ旅行で、ここ2、3年、ずーっと気になってたイルカツアー。思い切って今回申し込んでよかったです。娘達は（22歳、20歳）可愛いいイルカがあんなに直ぐ側で見られるなんて・・・とホントに大感激しておりました。まさに、ドルフィンユー「イルカとわたし」のネーミングにぴったりなツアーだ！と妙に感心しておりました~♪船にあがると、ものすごく、寒かったですけど、暖かいスタッフの皆様のおもてなしと、美味しいチーズたろいものバーガーをいただいたり、クリスマスということで、甘いケーキまで、ご馳走になり、何から何まで、至れりつくせりのドルフィンユーにみんな大満足でした。機会があれば、また、このツアーに参加したいです！！ありがとうございました。

Where are the dolphins? イルカはいずこ

Reviewed by: himawari

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated with my daughter, nephew, and two relatives, making a total of five of us. The information that December might be cold was accurate, but they offered wetsuit rentals. Once we boarded the boat, it only took about five minutes to encounter a pod of dolphins, which made us all very happy. After that, due to the murky water, we didn't go into the sea but instead toured around the island on the boat. It felt like the boat was flying over the water, and it was fun like a roller coaster. We all returned with joy. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. The staff were also very kind and helpful, which made me happy. Thank you!

　初めてのハワイ、娘と甥、親戚の親子と、5人で参加しました。12月は寒いかも？という情報はあたってましたが、ウエットスーツの貸し出しもあり、いざボートに乗り込み、5分もするとイルカの群れに、会うことができ大喜び。そのあと、海のにごりのため、海に入らずにボートで島の周りを観光、ボートは海の上を飛ぶように、ジットコースターのようで楽しかった。皆で喜んで帰りました。又、機会があれば参加したいです。スタッフの、皆さんも色々親切にしてもらえて、うれしかった。ありがとね。

This was my first time participating in Dolphin Middle School. The weather was cloudy and the sea was murky, so the conditions weren't great, but in December, we were lucky enough to see whales multiple times. I saw the whales spouting water and their tails. It was moving to see a whale in person for the first time.

While moving to the next point, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Many dolphins swam alongside the boat, and I felt like I was being welcomed by them. I tried to dive into the sea to look for dolphins, but the water was murky, and I could only see them for a few seconds, which was disappointing.

After that, we went to see sea turtles. I dove into the water again to search for them, but it was still murky, and I could only see them faintly. However, I definitely saw at least four turtles. It was amazing to see so much in one tour!

Although the visibility was poor this time due to the murky water, I heard that usually the sea is clearer and visibility is better, so I definitely want to try again next time.

今回初めてイルカ中学校に参加しました
当日は天候が曇りで海もにごっていたのであまり良い
コンディションではありませんでしたが、１２月なので

初めてクジラを生で見たので感動です
次のポイントに移動している最中にイルカの群れに
遭遇、沢山のイルカがボートと一緒の泳いでいて
まるでイルカに歓迎されている気分でした
そこで海にもぐりイルカを探しましたが海がにごっていて
数秒しかイルカが見れず残念でした
そのあとにウミガメを見にいきました、そこでも海にもぐってウミガメを探すのですが、そこでも海がにごっていて
うっすらとしか見えませんでしたが確実に4匹はいました
一度のツアーでコレだけ見れて最高です！

今回は海がにごっていたのであまり良く見えませんでしたが
普段はもっと海が澄んでいて良く見えるそうなので
また次回リベンジしたいと思いました

Dolphin! Dolphin! イルカ！イルカ！

Reviewed by: ビッキーパパ

On a slightly cloudy morning, I was filled with anticipation as I watched a rainbow appear. We headed straight to the dolphin-rich waters by powerboat from the harbor. The deep blue sea and the clear blue waters revealed numerous pods of dolphins. At the cheerful captain's signal, we entered the water with the crew, and although the dolphins were within reach, I couldn't quite catch up to them. I saw a mother and her baby swimming closely together and jumping around; they were incredibly "cute" dolphins.

After that, we stopped the boat at a beautiful coral reef and entered the water where sea turtles were swimming. I was surprised at how fast the turtles swam, almost like they were flying!

This was my first time participating alone, but the cheerful Hawaiian captain and his brother made it a lot of fun. The snacks provided were also delicious. The cooler bag was very useful during my stay.

Next time, I want to go back to meet the dolphins and turtles swimming in the clear blue sea, which you can't see in Waikiki.

うす曇りの朝虹がかかっているのを観て期待でいっぱいになってきました。
港からパワーボートでイルカのいる海域へ一直線。藍色の海、そして透明な青の海、そこにはたくさんのイルカの群れが見えました。陽気な船長の合図でクルーと一緒に海に入ると手の届くところにイルカたちがいて一緒に泳ぎたくても、なかなか追いつくことができません。母子が寄り添って泳いでいたりジャンプをしたり、すごく”カワイイ”イルカたち。
その後、サンゴ礁がきれいな所にボートを止めてウミガメのいる海の中へ。飛ぶように泳ぐウミガメ。思ったより早く泳いでいるのにはビックリ！！
今回初めて一人で参加しましたが船長兄弟が陽気なハワイアンで、十分楽しめました。
そらから軽食もおいしかったですよ。クーラーバックも滞在中重宝しました。
次回もワイキキでは見られない、透明な青い海の中を泳ぐイルカとカメに逢いにいきたいと思います。

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins! 野生のイルカに感激★

Reviewed by: yumeco

I have lived in Hawaii for three years. Until now, I had only seen dolphins from a great distance and really wanted to see them up close. I participated in a tour that had amazing reviews online.

The staff were incredibly kind, and I was impressed by the beautiful scenery in the Makaha area, which I wouldn't normally visit. The bus ride was also enjoyable. Unlike dolphins that are managed by humans, seeing wild dolphins swimming freely was moving, and I felt like I was part of nature while enjoying the experience.

On the day I participated, I was lucky enough to see a Hawaiian monk seal, which was fantastic! I also got to see wild sea turtles up close, and the staff guided us to the best spots, so there was no wasted time.

The life jackets were sturdy, so I think it's safe even for those who can't swim. I had no worries about what I would do if I couldn't swim. While swimming, I could hear the dolphins' calls, which was very soothing. Since the tour ends in the morning, I think it's an efficient option for those who want to fully enjoy Hawaii during a short stay. The snacks provided during the tour were also plentiful and added to the experience.

If you're in Hawaii, I highly recommend this dolphin tour, not just shopping!

I had a truly fun time and reaffirmed the charm of Hawaii. Thank you!!!!

ハワイに住んで３年。今までイルカを本当に遠くからしか見たことがなく、どうしても見てみたいなぁと思っていたところに、書き込みでもものすごく評判の良かったことツアーに参加させていただきました。

スタッフの方もすごく親切だったし、なかなか自分では行かないマカハ方面の美しい景色に感激しながら、バスの道中も楽しかったです。
人間に管理されているイルカとは違い、野生のイルカののびのび泳いでる様子に感動しながら、自分も一緒に楽しませてもらってる感覚は自分も自然の一部なんだと思いました。

私の参加した日はラッキーなことにハワイアンモンクシールも見られ、最高でした！！
野生の海亀もものすごく近くまで見れて、ちゃんとポイントを押さえてスタッフの方が誘導してくださるので無駄がありませんでした。

ライフジャケットもしっかりしてるので、泳げない人にも安心だと思います。泳げなかったらどうしようと不安になる心配もいっさいありません。泳いでいる途中はイルカの鳴き声も聞けてとっても癒されました。
午前中で終わってくれるツアーなので、短い滞在の間にハワイを存分に楽しみたい方にとっては、効率の良いツアーだと思いました。
ツアー中にいただいたスナック等もすごく充実していてポイントが高かったです。

ハワイにいるなら買い物だけでなく、このイルカのツアーは絶対にお勧めです！

本当に楽しかったです。
新しいハワイの魅力を再確認しました。
ありがとうございました！！！！
