The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and the staff were very friendly!
I was surprised by the size of the pizza I ordered for lunch!
I couldn't help but laugh. (I finished it all)
In the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and went shopping in Kailua.
It was great to shop without worrying about the kids and dad!
(The staff gave me some advice.)
The kids and dad rented bodyboards and enjoyed riding the waves.
They were happy to see fish and crabs.
It's a beach I want to visit again.
天気も良く、海はキレイ、スタッフの皆さんはとても親切!!
ランチで頼んだピザの大きさにビックリ!!
笑わずにはいられませんでした。(完食)
午後は私だけ自転車を借りて、カイルアまでお買い物に。
子供とパパに気兼ねする事無く、買い物ができて最高!
(スタッフの方にアドバイスして頂きました)
子供たちとパパはボディーボードを借りて波乗り?を楽しんでいました。
魚やカニを見れて、子供たちはうれしそうでした。

It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)
予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はBBQではなくチーズバーがです。(パンはタロイモが入っていた)

We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.
After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.
朝の6時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが3頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の1頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。

This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.
There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.
After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.
The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.
If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.
今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです!
11:40ピックアップで午前中も予定入れられました。途中でレナードによってマラサダを買いサンドバーへ。
20-30人で二艘の船に乗り、途中でレナードを配ってくれて食べつつ沖合へ移動します。
サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい?で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました!法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。
スタッフも日本人で何も問題なく過ごせました。
問題あるとしたら船酔いする人もいることくらいでしょうか。
時間的にも内容も最高のツアーでした。

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。
船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。
写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。
かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。

Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.

Waianae Beach
The ocean was very clear, and I was truly impressed.
I was able to see many dolphins. Their sounds were also audible, and they were really cute.
Makaha Beach
I went snorkeling and saw many sea turtles and small fish swimming around.
Makaha Beach felt like a place that wasn't a typical tourist spot; it was a laid-back beach that I definitely want to visit again.
After enjoying snorkeling at this beach, you can also try stand-up paddleboarding.
Stand-up paddleboarding was exciting and fun, but there was a bit of a rotation system with the vibe of "Okay, you did one round. You stood up! (Next!)", so I felt there was a bit less freedom.
Even so! I thought it was truly valuable to have that much fun and relax just in the morning.
It had a different atmosphere compared to the typical spots like Waikiki, North Shore, and Kailua. I think it's a direction that we don't often go to on our own, but I highly recommend it. I'm really glad I participated!

This was my second time participating, following last year. The waves were calm and the sea was very beautiful on the day of the event. Under the guidance of Mr. Dan, I was able to see many fish. I was disappointed that I couldn't meet Bob the moray eel this year, but then Ms. Chieko said, "There are turtles." I was thrilled to see a sea turtle underwater! My husband and son got out partway through, but when they realized there were turtles, Ms. Chieko went all the way to the beach to call out, "There are sea turtles!" Their hospitality and guidance were truly amazing. If I can come again next year, I will definitely ask for them! Thank you very much.
昨年に続き、2回目の参加でした。
当日は波も穏やかで海もとても綺麗でした。
ダン先生の誘導のもと、たくさんの魚も見れました。

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!

My daughter had her first experience seeing sea turtles and dolphins in nature. They came close enough for her to touch them. However, she was a bit scared when it came to jumping into the sea from the boat. The staff on the boat were kind, and we had a great time dancing to music!
For lunch, they packed a hamburger for us since my daughter was sleeping. We enjoyed it deliciously at the hotel.
I also purchased photos, and I was surprised to find there were about 500 images. They were all evenly captured. It was a bit pricey, but I’m glad I bought them. It’s a wonderful memory.
If you participate, keep in mind that renting a wetsuit (for those who want it) costs extra, so it's best to bring some money. Also, just in case, bring motion sickness medication!

I was able to meet the dolphin teacher! However, on the day I participated, there were few instructors and it felt a bit random. I think the intention was to allow us to meet the dolphins as soon as we jumped in, but the wait on the boat was long, and I felt that many people were getting seasick. Being on a stationary boat for a long time can be a bit tough.
Also, while we were instructed to be "quiet," the staff shouted instructions to participants when the dolphin approached. Was it really necessary to be that loud? I participated in another dolphin tour before, and they only used hand signals.
In any case, there were a lot of participants, which made it quite hectic. It felt pretty lonely to be there alone.
イルカ先生に会えました!
でも、参加日は先生方が少なく、気まぐれ。
飛び込んだらすぐに会えるようにとの配慮だと思いますが、船の上での待機が長く、
気分が悪くなる人も多かったように感じます。
やはり止まっている船の上にずっといるのは少しきついかも。
また、「静に」との注意をうけておりますが、スタッフがイルカ先生が近づくと
大声で参加者に指示します。そこまで大きな声は必要でしょうか?
以前に別のイルカツアーに参加しましたが、手での合図のみでした。
とにかく参加者が多いので大変。
一人参加はかなり寂しいです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School. We are passionate about ensuring that all our guests have the opportunity to see dolphins, and sometimes this enthusiasm can lead to our crew and guides speaking louder than necessary.

My first time in Hawaii. My first time with dolphins!
A friend recommended Dolphin University for swimming with dolphins, so I chose it.
The staff were lively and attentive, checking in with us during the swim, asking, "Are you okay?" which made the tour enjoyable and reassuring.
They explained the precautions in a fun way while being precise, so I was able to listen without getting bored!
I was also glad that I could do the SAP that I wanted!
One thing, it would have been better if the photographer's shutter timing was a bit slower. Some funny faces ended up being shared with the photo buyers, haha.
初めてのHawaii。初めてのイルカでした!
友人がイルカと泳ぐならイルカ大学がいいよと教えてくれ、選びました。
ノリのいいスタッフで、泳いでる最中も『大丈夫〜??』と細かく気を使ってくださり、楽しく安心してツアーに参加する事ができました。
注意事項なども遊び心を交えながら、かつ的確に説明してくれるので、退屈せずに聞けました!
やりたかったSAPも出来たのでよかったです!
一点、カメラマンさんのシャッターのタイミングがもう少し遅いと良かったです。
変な顔が写真購入者に回ってしまうので笑
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are very happy to have been able to help you create wonderful memories on your first visit to Hawaii. Our photographers will continue to strive for excellence. Thank you for your valuable feedback, MAHALO!!

I heard that it's one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, so I just had to go. However, I was hesitant about renting a car, and public buses seemed like they would take a long time, so I ended up joining this tour. I highly recommend renting a bike for about $10 extra to enjoy Lanikai Beach and the town of Kailua. It's really refreshing, so I suggest it!
We arrived around 10 AM, so in the morning, we played a bit at Kailua Beach, which is within walking distance, and then rode our bikes to Lanikai Beach. After enjoying both beaches, we returned to Kailua Beach Park and indulged in a late lunch at Bob's Pizzeria. The portion size is quite large, with a quarter of a big pizza, and I recommend the garlic pizza with spinach and pepperoni.
After that, I quickly changed and rode my bike to the town of Kailua until the meeting time. I checked out Lanikai Juice and various shops.
One thing I regret is that there aren't many drinks available along the way, so it might be tough if you don't get some water before the tour meeting.
島の中でもとても綺麗なビーチと聞いて、とにかく行かなきゃ、と、でもレンタカーは億劫だし、公共バスは時間かかりそうだし、、と思いこのツアーに参加しちゃいました。とにかくおすすめは、1人追加で約10ドルするけど自転車借りてラニカイビーチやカイルアの街まで行ってこのあたりを満喫すること。とても気持ちいいのでおすすめです!
10時頃に現地に着くので、午前中は、歩いても行けるカイルアビーチで少し遊び、その後自転車でラニカイビーチへ。どちらもそれなりに満喫したら、カイルアビーチパークに戻りBob's Pizzeria で遅めのランチでピザを堪能。一人前が大きなピザ1/4分とかなり大きいですが、ほうれん草とペパロニのガーリックピザ、オススメです。
その後はざっと着替えて、集合時間までカイルアの街まで自転車で。ラニカイジュースやお店を色々覗いてまわりました。
1つ自分としての反省は、とにかく飲み物が途中であまりないので、ツアーの集合の前に水を調達して持って行ったりしないと、辛いかも、、です。

We participated as a family with our 4-year-old daughter. It was her first time snorkeling, and we were having a bit of trouble teaching her, but the staff were very kind and gave her advice, and she quickly mastered how to snorkel! Thanks to that, we were able to see fish and sea turtles perfectly, creating an invaluable memory for our daughter! I highly recommend it, even for families with small children! ☆
4歳の娘を連れて家族で参加しました。初めてのスノーケリングでなかなか教えるのに苦労していたところ、スタッフさんがとても優しく娘にアドバイスをしてくださり、すぐにスノーケリングの仕方をマスター!おかげさまで魚もウミガメもバッチリ見ることができ、娘にとってかけがえのない思い出になりました!小さなお子さんとでも是非オススメです☆
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are delighted to have been able to help create wonderful memories with your precious daughter. It's amazing that she can snorkel at just four years old! She is quite the athlete! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.

It was fun.
The snorkeling was murkier than I expected, and it was hard to see the fish, but that's due to the weather, so it can't be helped.
The sand beach only appears during low tide, so outside of that time, it's shallow, but it was still plenty enjoyable!
I think it would be amazing even if it's shallow when the weather is nice.
Later, I thought that the price of 10 for a photo that can be purchased was a bit high, so I gave it 4 stars.
楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは、思っていたより水が濁っていて、お魚が見えにくかったけど、天候のせいなので、仕方ない。
干潮の時しか砂浜が出ないので、その時間以外は浅瀬ですが、楽しさは、充分です!
晴れていたら、浅瀬だろうと最高だと思います。
後日、購入出来る写真が1枚10がちょっと高いなと思ったので、星4つにしました

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

We participated in creating family memories for my daughter's 10th birthday present. The morning pickup point was somewhat scattered, and our house was about a 7 to 10-minute walk away. The bus was comfortable, and the explanations from the Japanese instructor were very easy to understand, which was great. There were 45 participants that day, and since it was during summer vacation, there were 12 children under 12 years old.
When we arrived at the port, we quickly spotted dolphins on the stable Tamakalan boat, but perhaps because of the large size of the boat, we couldn't get close to the dolphins. Maybe the smaller Dolphin Junior boat is more maneuverable? We tried to enter the water ahead of the direction the dolphins were swimming, but since 45 people splashed in at once, the dolphins swam away, and we desperately swam towards them. During the first entry, I was able to catch a glimpse of them by closely following the instructor, but it was only for about 10 seconds. That day, instead of the usual two entries, we made three, but in the end, my daughter and husband couldn't see any dolphins... It turned into a disappointing memory.
However, the accompanying photographer was very cheerful and lively, which made it a lot of fun, but the photos he took cost $60 per group. We ended up spending quite a bit. Because we made three entries, we didn't have time for snorkeling, and we couldn't do any marine activities. I think our satisfaction would have been much higher if we had encountered the dolphins, so it's very disappointing.
For our family of four, including the photo costs, it came to 60,000 yen. I was aware that there was a possibility of not seeing them since they are wild animals, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see them in the water even though we could confirm they were so close.
娘の10歳お誕生日プレゼントとして家族の思い出作りに参加しました。
朝のピックアップポイントはざっくりと分かれており、我が家は徒歩7〜10分歩いたところでした。バスは快適で、日本人インストラクターの方の説明がとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。この日は45名の参加があり、夏休み中ということもあり12歳以下の子供が12人参加。
港に着くと、揺れの少ないタマカランボートに乗ってイルカはすぐに見つかりましたが、大きいボートのせいかなかなかイルカに近づけず。イルカ中学のボートのほうが小回りが利くのでしょうか?イルカが泳いでくる方向に先回りしてエントリーしましたが、45人がバシャバシャ飛び込んだせいか、イルカが離れていってしまい、イルカのほうまで必死に泳ぎました。1回目のエントリーではインストラクターの後をすぐについていったのでちらっと見ることができましたが10秒程度。この日、通常2回のところ、3回エントリーしましたが、結局、娘と夫はイルカを見ることができず。。。しょっぱい思い出作りになりました。
ただ同行していたカメラマンの方がとても陽気で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったのですが、撮ってくれた写真は1グループ60$。すっかり散財してしまいました。
3回エントリーしたことで、スノーケリングの時間もなくなり、マリンアクティビティもできずじまい。イルカと遭遇できていたら満足度が高かったと思うのですが、とても残念です。
家族4人で写真代をいれて6万円。自然のものなので会えない可能性があるのは承知の上でしたが、すぐそばに確認できたのに海の中で見られなかったことがとても残念でした。

The instructor's enthusiasm to show everyone the dolphins was incredible, and they extended the time to chase the dolphins, allowing us to see them multiple times. The most touching moment was when three dolphins swam right beneath us! ♪ Because of the extension, the snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) we had planned later were combined into one activity, so my husband chose SUP while I chose snorkeling. I was able to enjoy cheering for my husband on the surface while snorkeling. Since these are wild dolphins, we can't always swim with them, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.^^
参加者のみんなにイルカを見せようというインストラクターさんの熱意がすごくて、イルカを追う時間を延長して何度も見せてくれました。
丁度自分たちの真下を3匹のイルカが泳いで行った時が一番近くて感動しました♪
その延長のために、後に計画していたシュノーケリングとサップの時間が一緒になり、どちらかひとつの参加となりましたが、夫はサップを、私はシュノーケリングを選び、シュノーケリングの傍らサップしてる夫を水面から応援して楽しむことが出来ました。
野生のイルカなので、常に一緒に泳げるわけではありませんが、十分に楽しいツアーでした。^^
