According to the tour guide, there had been no sightings of dolphins for the past three days, so we participated with a heartfelt wish to meet wild dolphins. We all recited a traditional Hawaiian prayer with the boat staff, and perhaps it reached them, as we encountered a pod of dolphins just like in the pictures! We were truly moved to see wild spinner dolphins jumping. My husband and I still can't forget the moment we heard the dolphins' voices.
This tour offers experiences that you can only have on a guided tour, so I highly recommend it! Please consider joining!
添乗員さんによると、ここ三日くらいイルカが見れないことがあったとのことで、
野生のイルカに会えることを心からお願いしながら参加。
船のスタッフの方とハワイならではの祈りの言葉みんなで唱え、それが届いたのか、
写真のようなイルカの群れに遭遇!ジャンプする野生のハシナガイルカの姿も見れ、本当に大感動。
夫婦で共に、イルカの声を聞けたことが今でも忘れられません。
ツアーでしか体験できないことが安心と共に体験できるので本当にこのツアーはおすすめです!
是非参加してみてください。

We used the service with three generations of our family. It was sunny, so we were lucky to have a beautiful view of the sea. The staff took a lot of photos for us. My child, who was snorkeling for the first time, struggled a bit, but they gave it their all. Despite being warned about the dangers of touching the coral, we fell behind the group and felt left out when we couldn't find our way back from the coral to the sandbar. It felt a bit harsh for those who aren't strong swimmers. Other than that, the staff was friendly. We also saw a sea turtle while snorkeling. The restroom on the boat was used by the kids, but I felt reluctant to use it myself. There are public restrooms near the boarding area (although we were told not to use them due to time constraints...). The return bus wasn't as cold as some reviews suggested. I'm glad we got to visit the sandbar, but I think once is enough.
家族3世代で利用しました。
晴れていたので海がきれいでラッキーでした。
写真もスタッフの方にたくさん撮って頂きました。
シュノーケリングは初めてやるわが子がうまく出来ず、それでも一生懸命やりました。
散々、サンゴに触れたら危ないなど言っていたのに、みんなの列から遅れをとってしっまった私たち、サンゴからサンドバーに戻る場所も案内してもらえず、置いて行かれた気分になり、泳ぎの下手な人には冷たいなーと感じました。
それ以外はフレンドリーに接して頂きました。ウミガメもシュノーケリング中見れました。
船内のトイレは、子供たちはりようしていましたが、私はなんだか利用するのが億劫で使いませんでした。船乗り場付近に公衆トイレがあります。(時間がないので利用するなといわれますが・・・)帰りのバスは口コミで書かれるほど寒くありませんでした。
サンドバーに行ってみたかったので良かったです。が一度で十分だと思います。

My BF & I were looking for something just like this since it had been many years since we both went snorkeling. Our guides were friendly, prompt, and knew what they were doing. They provided all the equipment and snacks for later. They made it very easy and it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend and use them again! Oh and they allow you to dl the photos they take for free!!

The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.
We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.

I was able to see dolphins, but they were quite far away. Aside from the dolphins, it didn't seem like there were any coral or tropical fish in the area, so I got bored quickly. There was a vibe of trying to do things on a budget, and the cost-effectiveness was low. The weather was nice, so I'll give it two stars.
イルカは見れましたが、かなり遠かった。
イルカ以外は、珊瑚 熱帯魚 がいる海域ではないようですぐ飽きてしまった。
コストをかけずになんとかしようという雰囲気があり、費用対効果は低かった。

I participated in the morning class on March 27. This time, I had a hard time encountering dolphins, and spent more than the first 30 minutes on the boat, but ultimately, I met a pod of dolphins on the second dive.
It seems that all the passengers were quite energetic, as the instructor let us dive five times. I was told that this is quite rare, so on average, we might get to dive about three times?
After getting tired from the fourth dive, I went up to the second floor of the boat to take a break, and this time, a lot of dolphins gathered around the boat! Moreover, I spotted a mother dolphin swimming together with her baby right in front of the moving boat, and I was squealing with excitement with a stranger next to me (laughs). The second floor of the boat is not to be underestimated!
During this tour, the instructor made every effort to find dolphins and bring the boat close to them so that we could meet the dolphins. That enthusiasm was really great.
On that day, the waves were quite high, and I saw some people getting seasick, so it's better not to underestimate it. I think those who are prone to seasickness should skip breakfast. My partner had breakfast and ended up getting seasick, which was a disaster... (bitter laugh)
I have a strong vestibular system, so I was able to enjoy this tour to the fullest! Thank you for the wonderful tour! Next time, I hope to see dolphins even closer!
3/27の午前授業に参加しました。
今回はなかなかイルカに出会えず、初めの30分以上は船の上で過ごしましたが、結果的に2回目の潜りでイルカの群れに出会えました。
今回、乗客がみんな元気なほうだったのか、インストラクターの人が5回も海に潜らせてくれました。こんなこと、めったにないと言われたので、平均的には3回くらい潜らせてもらえるのかな?
4回目の潜りで疲れて、船の2階に上がって休憩していると、今度は船の周りにイルカがたくさん寄ってきました!しかも走行している船の真ん前をイルカの親子が一緒に泳いでいるのを見つけて、見知らぬ隣のおばちゃんとキャーキャー騒いでいました(笑)船の2階も舐めたもんじゃないです!
このツアーでは、インストラクターさんがイルカを見つけては船で近寄って、ツアーに参加している私たちをイルカに会わせようと必死に努力してくれました。そこが熱血的で良かったなぁ。
この日、波がかなり高く、船酔いするひとも見かけたので、舐めてかからないほうがいいです。酔いやすいひとは朝ごはんも食べないほうがいいと思います。パートナーが朝ごはんを食べて、船酔いして惨事になってしまったので、、苦笑
私は三半規管が強いので、このツアーを思いっきり楽しめました!!素敵なツアーをありがとう!
今度はもっともっと近くでイルカが見れることを祈って、参加します!

This time, my friends and I participated in a morning tour. Due to our hotel arrangements, a bus from the prestigious Dolphin University picked us up at 6:05 AM. Since the pickup time was early, I was a bit sleepy. The guide was Japanese, and during the bus ride, they provided us with detailed information about safety precautions and snorkeling equipment.
After an hour of travel, we arrived at Board Harbor around 7:30 AM. We had time for a restroom break and to change clothes before departure. This time was very helpful.
After that, the tour I had been looking forward to for a long time, to see wild dolphins up close, began. The boat we boarded was entirely blue and felt relatively new.
The veteran captain and several local supporters searched for dolphins, but unfortunately, we were unable to find any. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or if the season wasn't right, but we couldn't see the dolphins we had been excited about.
However, we were able to experience snorkeling and other marine sports, and the supporters brought humor, making it an enjoyable tour.
今回は友達と3人で、午前中のツアーに参加しました。宿泊したホテルの関係で、あさ6時05分に、名門イルカ大学のバスが迎えに来ました。迎え時間が早かったので、すこしねむかったです。案内の方が日本人の方で、移動中のバスの中で、注意事項やシュノーケリング器具など、いろいろと詳しく教えていただきました。
1時間の移動で、7時半ごろにボードハーバに着きました。出発前に、トイレ休憩と着替えの時間はありました。この時間を用意していただいて、大変助かりました。
その後、ずっとまえから楽しみにしていた野生のイルカを間近で見るツアーが始まりました。私たちは乗った船が全体ブルーで、比較的に新しいものだと感じます。
ベテラン船長さんと何人かの現地のサポーターたちはずっと、イルカを探しましたが、残念ながら、イルカを見つけることができませんでした。運が悪かったのか、季節が良くなかったのかがわかりませんが、楽しみにしていたイルカを見ることができませんでした。
でも、シュノーケリングや他のマリンスポーツを体験できたし、サポーターたちがユーモア、楽しいツアーでした。

This is my fourth time, and I am impressed that each time the experience has been upgraded.
Swimming with the dolphins feels like an interaction, but with Dolphin & You, you swim freely in the vast ocean alongside dolphins that are swimming leisurely in groups, and I felt as if I received a mysterious power from them.
My 5-year-old grandchild was crying but was happy to say, "I saw a dolphin."
Also, I was delighted to reunite with Kaia, a staff member I met nine years ago. Thank you, Kaia.
今回で4回目。毎回内容がアップグレードしてて感動しています。
飼育されているイルカと一緒に泳ぐのは「ふれあい」のような感じですが、ドルフィン&Youは、群れてゆったりと自由に泳いでるイルカと一緒に大海原で泳ぎ、イルカから不思議なパワーがもらえた気持ちになります。
5歳の孫も泣きながらですが「イルカが見えた」と喜んでくれました。
そして、9年前に参加した時のスタッフのカイアに再会できて嬉しかったです。『カイア』ありがとう。

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.
Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!
After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!
ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした!
このお陰で親子共々快適にシュノーケリング出来たと思います。
日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました!

I participated in a dolphin tour with my mother. I thought Dolphin Junior High would be a hard tour with boats that make you seasick, like banana boats, but it was actually a double-decker ship. I didn't get seasick, and we got to meet Dolphin Sensei and Professor Turtle. The weather was great that day, and we received word right after departure that Dolphin Sensei was nearby. We quickly spotted them swimming around. The group of Dolphin Sensei was so cute, and I was really happy to see so many sea creatures. There were about five staff members, including a funny photographer. The staff were friendly, and I'm glad I participated in this tour. My mother had trouble using the snorkel and said she couldn't breathe in the water, so I think it would be reassuring for first-time snorkelers to receive detailed instructions before entering the ocean. Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to participate in Dolphin University as well! The waters of Hawaii were truly beautiful.
母と一緒にイルカ中学のツアーに参加しました。イルカ中学はハードだとかバナナボートみたいな船酔いするボートで行くのだと思っていましたが、ボートではなく二階建ての船でした。船酔いもすることなく、イルカ先生、ウミガメ教授にも会えて、その日は天気も良く、出航からすぐにイルカ先生たちがいると連絡があり、あっちこっちと泳いでいるとすぐに会えました。初めてのイルカ先生の群、とっても可愛くて海の生き物にたくさん会えてよかったです。スタッフは5人ぐらいいて、一人カメラマンのおもしろい人もいました。スタッフのみなさんも気さくな方たちで、このツアーに参加してよかったです。母は、シュノーケルの使い方がわからず、海で息ができないと言っていたので、初めてシュノーケルをする人には、そういう細かいところまで教えてもらった方が安心して海に入れると思いました。また、ハワイに行った時は、次はイルカ大学にも参加してみたいです!!ハワイの海は本当に綺麗でした。

It was a tour to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. However, they took us far to search for them, which is not a usual route, and they entertained us with dances, so we didn't feel bored at all.
During snorkeling, we got to see a sea turtle! Although we couldn't swim together, we were able to see dolphins up close, which is a rare sight.
For me, the highlight was that the captain let me sit in the driver's seat; I was truly happy to have such a precious experience! ❤️
On the way back, since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, they gave us a half-price voucher and shared a video taken with a drone, showing the staff's wonderful consideration. Thank you very much!
イルカと泳ぐツアーでしたが、残念ながらイルカと会えなかったんです。でもいつもは行かない遠いところまで探しに行ってくれたり、ダンスをして楽しませてくれたりと退屈せずに過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメさんに会えました!そして、一緒に泳ぐことはできないけれど、滅多に見れないイルカを間近でも見れました。
わたしにとっては何より、船長さんが操縦席に座らせてくれたこと、こんな貴重な体験ができるなんて本当に幸せでした!❤️
帰りのバスでは、イルカと泳げなかったので半額になるバウチャーをくれたり、ドローンで撮影した動画をくれたりと本当にスタッフさんの気配りが素敵でした。
ありがとうございました!

The tour was accompanied by the principal, and everyone, including the staff and the photographer, was very pleasant, making it enjoyable. It was lucky to see a pod of dolphins and turtles, but being able to see seals as well made it the best snorkeling experience.
学園長さんも同行のツアーでしたらスタッフの方もカメラマンもみな感じの良い人達で楽しめました。
イルカの群もカメも見れたのはラッキーでしたが、さらにアザラシまで見れて最高のシュノーケリング体験になりました。
ALOHA! Ryo,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. The dolphin family, sea turtles, and even seals!! Our photographer was so excited to find the seals, which are rarely seen, and successfully took close-up photos to share with everyone when they returned to the office!
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you!

There were a lot of dolphins, but the sea was in a bad mood and a bit murky. I was lucky to be able to watch a whale spouting in the distance. It's a shame that interactions with dolphins seem to be restricted now. After all, Hawaii is definitely about the marine life!
イルカがいっぱいでしたが、海の機嫌が悪く、少々濁っていました。
遠くの方に、潮を吹いているクジラまでウオッチングできでラッキーでした。
イルカとの触れ合いも規制されてしまうそうで、残念です。
やはりハワイは、マリンかなー
ALOHA! Mac,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin School this time.
It's a tour that allows you to experience the ocean in its 100% wild and 100% natural state, where you can feel the slightly moody sea and encounter dolphins and whales that appear unexpectedly!
It was lucky to meet so many dolphin teachers, wasn't it?
When you come to Hawaii again, please join us! All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit!

I came to Hawaii for the first time and was enjoying myself in Waikiki. Then I participated in a tour at Dolphin School and felt like I encountered what I was looking for in Hawaii. Waikiki is also a lot of fun, but for those who want to see the true face of Hawaii, I definitely recommend participating.
私は初めてハワイに来て、ワイキキで楽しんでいました。それからイルカ中学のツアーに参加して私がハワイに求めていた事に出会った気がしました。ワイキキもとても楽しいですが、本当のハワイの姿を見てみたいと思った方は是非参加する事を推めます。
ALOHA! To the graduates of the Dolphin Middle School,

The tour was enjoyable for a wide range of ages, from children to seniors. The snorkeling was disappointing as it wasn't a free experience; we had to swim in a line. Other than that, the friendly atmosphere created by the crew made it a very enjoyable time. Although it was early March and we were blessed with great weather, the water was quite cold, so I felt that some preparation for the cold was necessary.
ツアーの内容としてはお子様からご年配まで幅広く楽しめるものでした。
シュノーケリングは自由に楽しめるものではなく、並んで泳ぐ期待外れなものでした。
それ以外はクルーのフレンドリーな雰囲気でとても楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
3月上旬でしたが、絶好の天候に恵まれたにも関わらず海の中はかなり寒かったので、寒さ対策が必要と感じました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Since it is an outdoor tour, we recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket regardless of the season. Thank you for sharing the information.

The colors of the sea were truly beautiful, with green in the shallow areas and a deep blue in the deeper parts.
At the place where we got off the boat, the water level was up to my waist, but it became shallower as we approached the sandbar, eventually reaching about knee height.
There were many participants, and we went out to sea on a two-tiered boat. Each group on the boat had a chance to snorkel while the other group enjoyed light snacks. The snacks included hot dogs and fruits, which were plentiful and delicious.
Since there was a family that was anxious about swimming, we lined up last for snorkeling. Because we were behind everyone, we heard someone in the distance say, "There’s a turtle!" but we couldn’t do anything about it. By the time we returned to the boat, there were people playing with floaties and boards around us, as well as others resting on the boat. I wasn’t sure if the free time was set for each boat, so I just rested for a while, but before I knew it, it was time to depart in about 10 minutes. It was disappointing not to have any time to play. If you want to play after snorkeling, it might be better to swim at the front of the group.
It seemed that we were the only group that didn’t see a turtle, and the captain, knowing this, kindly circled around a bit before returning to shore. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the turtle, but I appreciated the thoughtfulness. On the way back, I handed the tip I had prepared to the captain.
During this time of year, the sun is strong, but the water temperature is quite low, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or a hoodie while swimming.
浅いところはグリーン、深くなっているところは濃いブルーと、海の色が本当に綺麗でした。
船を下りた場所では腰まであった水位がサンドバーに近づくほど低くなっていき、一番低くて膝くらいになりました。
参加人数が多く2層の船で沖に出ました。船ごとのグループで、1グループがシュノーケリングの間、もう1グループが軽食をとりました。
軽食はホットドッグやフルーツなど十分な量があり、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎに不安な家族がいたので一番最後に並びました。
皆より遅れていたので、遠くで「亀がいるよー」と聞こえましたがどうにも出来ず…。
船に戻った頃には、周りで浮き輪やボードで遊んでいる人と、船で休んでいる人がいました。
船ごとに自由時間が決まっているのかな?と、よくわからなかったのでひとまず休んでいたら、10分程で出発する時間になってしまいました。
遊ぶ時間が無かったのが残念です。シュノーケリング後に遊びたい方は先頭の方で泳いだ方がいいかもしれませんね。
グループで我々だけが亀を見れなかったらしく、それを知った船長さんが陸に戻るまでに少し付近を回ってくださいました。
残念ながら亀の姿は見れませんでしたが、気遣いが嬉しかったです。
帰りには用意していたチップを船長さんにお渡ししました。
この時期、日差しは強いですが水温が結構低いので、ラッシュガードやパーカを着て泳ぐことをお勧めします。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Please come visit us again! We hope you encounter a honu next time!

I was able to see dolphins swimming nearby.
Whether you encounter a pod of dolphins depends on luck that day, but within just 10 minutes of going out to sea, we spotted a group! I immediately jumped in and swam for over an hour. That day, there were many dolphins swimming around, and I was able to see them up close multiple times.
The dolphins gracefully swimming right at my feet were beautiful and adorable. When I said "Aloha!" in a high voice underwater, they responded with squeaks. Some dolphins even showcased their skills by jumping out of the water and spinning around, and I fell in love with these gentle and playful creatures.
I wore my phone in a waterproof case around my neck while entering the water, so I was able to take photos and videos. The videos are fun to watch later, and if they turn out well, you can take screenshots, so I recommend it. The guide took photos with a special camera, and after the tour, you can purchase the data, so if you want beautiful pictures, I think it's a good idea to have the guide take plenty for you.
After watching the dolphins, we had lunch on the boat and went back into the sea. That day, I was able to see a sea turtle swimming for a brief moment. I also saw beautiful fish and got to ride on a canoe and a surfboard. I thought it was a great deal since you can do so many things in one tour.
I was anxious because my English is not very good, but there was a Japanese guide, and all the other crew members were cheerful and fun, so it was fine.
However, the sea in February was cold, and the weather wasn't great, so I rented a wetsuit before getting on the boat. Also, since I hadn't properly swum in over 10 years and was snorkeling for the first time, snorkeling for over an hour was quite challenging for me. I had to swim to where the dolphins were myself, and if I fell behind, I wouldn't be able to see them, so I was desperately trying to keep up with the guide, which took a lot of energy. Since I usually don't exercise at all, it was a good workout!
It was tough, but it was a very enjoyable tour and will be a great memory of Hawaii, so I highly recommend it!
近くで泳ぐイルカの姿を見ることができました。
イルカの群れに出会えるかはその日の運次第・・・ということでしたが、海に出て10分もかからずイルカの群れを発見!
すぐに海に飛び込み、1時間以上海を泳ぎ続けました。
この日はイルカの群れがたくさん泳いでおり、何度も近くで見ることができました。
自分の足元で優雅に泳ぐイルカ達はとても綺麗で可愛かったです。
海の中で「アロハ~」と高い声で言うとキューキュー鳴いて反応してくれました。
水面から飛んでクルクル回る技を披露してくれるイルカもいて、優しくてサービス精神旺盛なイルカが大好きになりました。
防水ケースに入れた携帯を首にかけて海に入ったので、写真や動画を撮ることもできました。
動画は後で見ても楽しいし、綺麗に撮れたらスクショもできるのでオススメです。
ガイドさんが専用カメラで写真を撮ってくれて、ツアー終了後データを購入することもできるので綺麗な写真が欲しい方はガイドさんにいっぱい撮ってもらうといいと思います。
イルカ達を見たあとは船上で昼食を食べ、再び海へ。
この日は一瞬ですが、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました。
他にも綺麗なお魚を見たり、カヌーやサーフボードに乗ったり。
いろんなことが1度のツアーでできるのでお得だなと思いました。
英語が全然ダメなので不安でしたが、日本人のガイドの方がいるし、他のクルーも皆さん陽気で楽しい方ばかりなので大丈夫でした。
ただ、2月の海は寒く天気も良くなかったので船に乗る前にウェットスーツをレンタルしました。
あと、10年以上まともに泳いでいない、シュノーケリング初めての自分にとっては1時間以上続けてのシュノーケリングは結構大変でした。
イルカの群れのいる場所に向かって自分で泳がないといけず、出遅れるとイルカを見ることができないのでガイドさんについていくのに必死でかなり体力使いました。
普段全く運動しないのでいい運動になりました!
大変でしたが、とても楽しいツアーでハワイのいい思い出になるのでオススメです!
ALOHA!

This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.
We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.
Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.
Hi guys, hope we see you again on a nice sunny day. Dan and Chieko.
