I participated with my father (in his 60s). Since both of us grew up by the sea, we had no worries about swimming, but we were a bit nervous since it was our first time. The woman in charge was absolutely wonderful, and during the bus ride, we had a homeroom session where the participants (we were referred to as such) were laughing the whole time and felt relaxed. On the day of participation, we were told that due to high waves, it might be hard to spot dolphins right away, but as soon as we boarded the boat, we were able to see dolphins and sea turtles! After that, we dove into the sea and were moved to see dolphins swimming right below us... (they were quite far away, though, haha). We couldn't see them up close, but we were able to confirm a significant number of dolphins.
There were participants who suffered from seasickness throughout the trip, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness or can't swim (once you dive into the sea, the boat leaves, so if you want to return, you can't. We swam as a group for about 20 minutes, which could be quite tough for those who aren't confident). However, for those who have no issues with seasickness or swimming, I wholeheartedly recommend it! You can experience a feeling of being one with nature!
私と父(60代)で参加しました。二人とも海街育ちなので泳ぎには全く不安は無かったのですが、初めての参加のためドキドキでした。担当の女性の方がとっっても素敵な方で、バスの中でホームルームをするのですが終始生徒(参加者はこう呼ばれます)は笑いっぱなしでリラックス出来ました。参加日は波が高い為すぐに見つかるか分からないとの事でしたが、船に乗り込んですぐにイルカ・海亀を見る事が出来ました!その後海にダイブし泳ぎながら自分たちの真下を泳ぐイルカに感動…(距離はかなり遠いですが笑)間近で見ることが叶いませんでしたがかなりの数のイルカを確認できました。
船酔いで終始苦しんでおられる参加者の方もいましたので、船酔いする方や泳げない方(海に一度潜ると船は離れますので戻りたくてももどれません。20分くらい団体で泳ぐので得意じゃない方はかなら辛そうでした)にはおすすめしませんが、船酔いにも泳ぎにも問題ない方には全力でおすすめです!自然と一体化した気分が味わえますよう!

I prepared myself for the coldness of the sea in January, but the weather was surprisingly perfect and even a bit hot. The pickup was on time, and the staff were all very good! Justin's guidance was excellent. The female staff member, Crystal, was beautiful and captivating. Captain Alan was also very kind! I'm glad I chose this tour. The lunch with the bone-in short ribs was delicious! There was plenty of free time, and you can rent beach gear, so you can fully enjoy the emerald-clear sea. I want to go again during low tide. Definitely planning to return!
1月で海の冷たさ寒さを覚悟して挑みましたが、なんとサイコーの天気で暑いくらいでした。

After swimming with dolphins in the Ogasawara Islands, I became captivated by them and applied for the experience. First, I tend to get seasick, so I intended to take motion sickness medication but forgot, and we set sail as is. As expected, I got seasick. I didn't reach the point of vomiting, but on the way back, I felt nauseous and couldn't eat. So, I recommend that anyone who is prone to seasickness definitely take motion sickness medication.
Now, onto the main event with the dolphins. It seems I was lucky that day, as we quickly encountered a pod of about a dozen dolphins. As soon as we jumped into the water, we were able to swim with the dolphins right away. They swam around us repeatedly, so we got to swim with them many times. They were really cute.
After that, we went snorkeling. Here too, as soon as we got into the water, we encountered two sea turtles. It was really exciting to see a large sea turtle swimming so comfortably.
After that, in January, the sun went down, and it got really cold. I recommend bringing warm clothing. The local staff were entertaining and made sure everyone had a good time, so overall, I was very satisfied.
小笠原でドルフィンスイムをしてからイルカに虜になり、応募しました。
まず私は酔いやすかったので、酔い止めを飲もうとしてたのですが忘れてしまい、そのまま出航。案の定酔ってしまいました。吐くまでは行きませんが、帰りの船は気持ち悪くご飯食べるところではありませんでした。なので酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいとおもいます。
そして本番のドルフィン。
当日は運が良かったみたいで、すぐに十数頭いる群れに出会えました。
海にとびんこんでからすぐにイルカと泳げました。ずっと私たちの周りをくるくると泳いでくれてたみたいなので、何度も何度もイルカと泳げました。キッキいってほんとに可愛かったです。
そのあと、シュノーケル。
ここでも海に降りてすぐ、2匹のウミガメに出会えました。大きなウミガメが気持ちよさそうに泳いでてほんと嬉しかったです。
そのあとは1月で太陽が隠れてしまいすごく寒かったです。防寒のものを持参することをお勧めします。
現地スタッフのかたは面白くて皆さんを楽しませてくれ、全体的に満足です。

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I enrolled in Dolphin University. While riding the bus to the port, the staff shared various stories, making the journey enjoyable. On the boat heading to where the dolphins were, I was thrilled to also see whales! I was so happy to get off the boat twice and see a large group of dolphins up close. I also got to see sea turtles and fish, which was fun. Although I found the SUP, slide, and canoeing a bit lacking since we could only do them for a short time, I had a great time overall. If I get the chance to come back to Waikiki, I will enroll in Dolphin University again! For those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
イルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、イルカ大学に入学しました。バスに乗って、港までの間もスタッフが色んなお話をしてくれて楽しく過ごせました。船に乗ってイルカのいるところまで向かう間に、クジラも見えて感動しました!二度船から降り、イルカの大群をたくさん間近で見れて嬉しかったです。また海ガメも間近で見れたり、魚も見れて楽しかったです。SUPや滑り台やカヌーはおまけで少し出来るくらいで物足りなかったですが、すごく楽しかったです。またワイキキに来れたら、イルカ大学に入学します!!
船酔いする方が沢山いたので、心配な方は必ず酔い止めを飲むべきです。

I couldn't meet the dolphins this time, but the staff at Dolphin School were all very nice, so I still had a great time.
Since it's a natural experience, I think there are times when you won't see them! Still, it was wonderful to connect with the vast nature of Hawaii.
By the way, I did get to see the turtles and whales!!
Even in midsummer, it gets cold once you're out of the water, so it's better to bring a long-sleeve shirt.

I heard that the waves are calmest in the morning, so I joined the first tour of the day. There were about 15 of us, and we went into the water in groups of 2 to 3 at a time. While you're diving, you don't feel much, but the waiting time on the boat can make you feel seasick (the waiting time is quite long). I recommend not having breakfast before participating. (It's better to take seasickness medication beforehand.) Some women ended up not riding the sea bob due to seasickness.
Also, the staff will take photos for you. The cost for the photo data and tips is not included in the participation fee, so I recommend bringing cash. (Tips are about $10 to $20 per person.)
波が一番穏やかと聞いたので、朝一番のツアーに参加しました。全員で15名程で、一度に2~3名で海に潜ります。潜っている間はあまり感じませんが、待ち時間は船上のため酔います。(待ち時間が結構長いです。)朝食は取らずに参加されることをおすすめします。(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです。)数名の女性は船酔いのせいで、結局シーボブに乗られなかった方もいました。
また、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれます。写真のデータ代とチップの費用は参加費には含まれていないので、現金を持参される事をおすすめします。(チップは1人10~20ドルぐらいです)

We set sail and were immediately greeted by a whale. It was an amazing start, as we could clearly see the spout and the body along with the tail, raising our expectations of encountering dolphins and turtles. After that, under the captain's guidance, we encountered many dolphins and turtles just as we hoped. The baby turtles were incredibly cute. We were able to welcome 2018 with a wonderful beginning. The staff were also very kind, and I am grateful. Thank you.
I can't swim, so I was scared when I jumped from the boat. But even at my age, I found the courage to try, and surprisingly, I was able to do it. It became a journey of discovery where I could challenge myself. Thank you.

We were the only Japanese people on the tour. I couldn't understand Japanese, and I didn't know what the captain was saying, but it was okay, haha.
The tour description mentioned that they would lend us fins, but they only provided snorkeling gear and life jackets. I think the tour details need to be updated. Everyone else around us brought their own fins! It was fine without them, though.
Before boarding, they took photos (which they later sold for $20).

Once we set out, we encountered a pod of dolphins!

There was only one snorkeling spot. We got to swim with five big turtles! If you have a GoPro, the staff will dive down to take pictures of the turtles for you.

We enjoyed drinks (for a fee) while listening to music and having fun. They said that if you jumped into the sea, beer was free! But it was too cold for me to do that.

We went further out to look for whales, but we couldn't find any and had to head back.
Although I couldn't understand Japanese, the staff lady was cheerful and friendly.
I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt seasick this time. It was cold in January, so be prepared!

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Unfortunately, the sandbar was submerged up to waist height, so we couldn't experience it, but the weather was nice and we had a great time. Interacting with the staff during the BBQ was enjoyable and the food was delicious. Many sea turtles popped their heads up, which excited everyone. It was a truly fun tour where we could enjoy swimming in a fantastic location. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was trying my best to swim, but it seemed to the staff that I looked like I was drowning (laughs), and they were worried about me. If I could wish for one thing, it would have been nice to have a bit more fresh water poured on us when we returned from the sea.

Very friendly staff. Check in place is walking distance from my hotel. Since I do get sea sick, I took motion sickness pill an hour before and I didn't eat until it's time to go back to Waikiki beach. Therefore, providing snacks only without meals is perfect for me. They have a guide to swim with us and find turtles and other sea life for us. Our guide even dived to retrieve GoPro for a girl in our group. After snorkeling, they rises their sail and took us to see whales. My 2 teenage boys really enjoyed the activity the whole time.

I was treated excellently and had an absolutely wonderful time. The divers made sure I had a close-up experience with all the marine life. The only thing they could add in the advertisement is to tell clients to arrive wearing swimwear, there are no change rooms on the boat.

The guide who showed us around was enjoyable and great. We were able to see a sea turtle, even if just a little, and snorkeling was fun. Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I felt safe participating. We went as a family, but my kindergarten-aged grandchild was shivering and crying because of the low temperature. I think it's important to choose the right season for small children.
案内してくださったガイドの方が楽しくてよかったです。ウミガメは少しだけですが見えたし、シュノーケリングも楽しく、泳ぎが得意ではない私も安心して参加できました。家族で行きましたが、幼稚園児の孫は気温が低く、寒さに震えて泣いてしまいました。小さな子どもには季節を選ぶ必要があると思いました。

There is a shuttle service to the hotel (depending on the hotel), and since we were able to return to the hotel by noon, we could plan different activities for the afternoon, making it an efficient and enjoyable experience. We were able to see many sea turtles, and the ocean was very beautiful, so I would like to go again. The only downside was that after getting out of the water, my body was still cold despite drying off with a towel, and the air conditioning on the return bus was too strong, making it very cold (though this may vary by person). I think it's better to prepare warm clothing that can get wet.
宿泊先のホテルまで送迎あり(ホテルによる)、昼にはまたホテルに戻って来れたので、午後はまた違う予定を組めたので、効率よく楽しめた。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができて、海もとても綺麗で、また行きたいと思います。
唯一、海に入った後体はタオルで拭くくらいで冷えているのに、帰りのバスが冷房効き過ぎていてとても寒かったので(個人差あると思いますが)、防寒具や濡れても良い温かい服は自分で準備をしておいた方が良いと思います。

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon! We decided to join this tour because we wanted to see dolphins in the beautiful ocean. The day before, there was heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear skies. We took an early morning bus to the port, and when we boarded the boat, the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff maintained a cheerful atmosphere and treated us with care from start to finish. We traveled by boat for about 45 minutes, and during that time, we were able to see a whale spouting! (By the way, on the way back, we also saw its tail.)
As for the dolphins, I was a bit anxious that we might not encounter them since we were dealing with nature, but we were able to see them underwater! (Interestingly, it seems that there were no sightings for the three days leading up to our participation.) Although we didn't see them up close like in an aquarium, I was moved to encounter wild dolphins! After that, we split into activities and snorkeling. I experienced snorkeling, and I was able to see many fish up close as well. On the way back, we had a fun time dancing hula with the staff. It became a wonderful memory of our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon!
今回ハネムーンで初めてハワイにやってきました!綺麗な海でイルカがみたいということでこのツアーへの参加を決めました。前日は大雨で果たして天気は大丈夫かなと心配しましたが快晴でした。早朝バスに乗って港へ着き、船に乗船するとスタッフが明るく迎えてくれました。スタッフの皆さんは最初から最後まで明るい雰囲気で丁寧にもてなしてくれます。45分くらい船で移動しましたがその途中でクジラの潮吹きもみるとこができました!(ちなみに帰りは尾びれもみることができました)
そして肝心のイルカですが、自然が相手なので出会えないかもと不安もありましたが、水中でも見ることできました!(ちなみに参加日までの3日間は出会えなかったみたいです)水族館みたいに近距離でみれたわけではありませんが野生のイルカに出会えたのには感動しました!その後はアクティビティとシュノーケルに分かれました。シュノーケルを体験しましたがこちらもたくさんの魚を真近で見ることができました。帰りにはスタッフさんとフラで盛り上がったりと楽しいひと時でした。たった一度のハネムーンの良い思い出になりました!

In the distance, I could see what looked like the tail of a whale and the shadow of a sea turtle, but in the end, there were no dolphins at all.
Along the way, I snorkeled for about an hour, but I didn't see any fish in areas that weren't particularly beautiful, like the coral reefs. When I participated in snorkeling tours in other countries, I had experiences where I saw very beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish, so if we weren't going to see dolphins, I wished we could at least stop at a spot where we could expect to see more tropical fish. Just looking at the white sand underwater quickly bored my child, and when we returned to the boat, it was cold.
One positive point was that the staff were very cheerful, dancing the hula and letting us ride in canoes.
I understand that these things can happen when dealing with nature, but I was disappointed that I invested a whole day, starting with a 5 AM gathering, for such a rare day in Hawaii.
By the way, as an apology for the group that didn't see dolphins, they said the next participation fee would be discounted by $20. However, since there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again, I won't participate anymore.
はるかかなたにクジラのしっぽと海亀が泳ぐ影らしきものが見られたのですが、結局イルカは姿すらなかったです・・。
途中、1時間ほど、シュノーケルをしたのですが、サンゴ礁など特に綺麗でないところで、魚も見られず・・。他国でシュノーケルツアーに参加した際は
とてもきれいなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚が見られた経験があるので、イルカも見られないならば、せめてもっと熱帯魚などが期待できるスポットで停泊してくれてもと思いました・・。海中の白い砂をみるだけで子供もすぐ飽きて、すぐに舟にひきあげたら今度は寒いと・・。
一つ良かった点は、スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気で、フラダンスを踊ってくださったり、カヌーに乗せてくれたりしました。
自然相手なのでこういうこともあるかとは思うのですが、貴重なハワイの1日を朝5時代に集合して一日投資したのにと残念でした。
ちなみに、イルカを見れなかったグループへのおわびとしては、次回参加代金が20ドルにディスカウントされるのだそうです。
同じことが2度ないとも限らないので、もう参加はしませんが。
Aloha, thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We apologize for not being able to provide a tour that met your expectations due to unfavorable conditions with the ocean and wildlife. As you mentioned, a retry for Dolphin University will be $20 per person, but if you consider Dolphin Junior High, a retry is free of charge. We would be grateful if you could consider participating again if the opportunity arises. We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a memorable experience on our tour.
Aloha, この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました。海や生き物のコンディションが芳しくなく、ご期待に沿うツアーを実現することが出来ず申し訳ございません。ご記載頂いた通り、イルカ大学へのリトライはお一人当たり$20となりますが、イルカ中学でしたら無料でリトライが可能ですので、もしまた機会があれば是非参加をご検討いただければ幸いです。弊社ツアーにて思い出に残る良いお時間をお過ごしいただくことが出来なかったこと、重ねてお詫び申し上げます。

Divers friendly but little instruction or guidance given. Lot of waiting around and too many people on boat for number of scooters and divers, reduce sizes for more enjoyable experience. Also suggest providing one digital photo in price of ticket at least as waste if going to effort of taking them if not emailing to parties. Expect to wait around both at office, on shuttle and boat.

Perhaps because it was the rainy season, the sandbar had water up to my waist. However, the weather was nice, and the sea and sky were beautiful! I was able to see many beautiful coral reefs while snorkeling, and I even encountered a sea turtle, which made for great memories. Be careful on the way back, as you might get cold from being wet. I definitely want to go again! ^ ^
雨季だったためか、サンドバーでも腰の高さまで水がありました。
でも、天気がよかったので海と空が綺麗で素敵でした!!!
シュノーケリングで綺麗なサンゴ礁をたくさん見れましたし、ウミガメにも会えていい思い出になりました。
帰りは体が濡れて寒くなるので注意です。
また行きたいと思いました^ ^
