Last year, I couldn't go because the reservations were full, so I came back for a revenge trip. The ocean was, of course, beautiful, just as I imagined, with lovely shallow waters. However, what really made it special was the great staff, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles while snorkeling and during other activities. Also, during break time, they lent out floats and boards, and you can even try stand-up paddleboarding (there were only a few available and they were popular, so I couldn't do it...).
昨年は予約がいっぱいで行けなかったので、リベンジに。海はもちろんきれいでしたが、想像通りきれいな浅瀬といった感じ。ただ、スタッフさんがよかったのと、シュノーケリングでもそれ以外でもウミガメを見ることが出来たのはテンションがあがりました。あと、休憩時間に浮輪やボードを貸してくれて、SUPなどもチャレンジできます(数は少なく人気なので私はできませんでしたが…)。

We participated as a couple. Since check-in was at the beach in front of the hotel, there wasn't a check-in counter; instead, there was a staff member under a parasol, which mixed in with other beachgoers and was a bit confusing (laughs). I thought this was quite typical of being overseas. We moved to a boat in front of the Halekulani Hotel to board.
Everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The crew spoke only in English, and since I had some snorkeling experience, I managed to keep up. The snorkeling lasted quite a while, about an hour. There was an explanation in English on how to put on the gear, and we were given life jackets and goggles (no fins, but that was fine). Equipped with the snorkeling set, we headed into the sea!! When I swam along with the crew, there were sea turtles!!! I was thrilled to encounter four of them! The seawater was a bit murky, so it was hard to see the fish, but I still had a great time. After that, we returned to the boat for sailing. It was an exhilarating moment with the large sail unfurled, creating a sense of speed. You can buy water and beer on the boat, so no need to worry about drinks! (Cash is better.) There was also a restroom on board. Since sailing can be quite bumpy for a long time, those prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication. It was a great activity to enjoy the waters of Waikiki in a short amount of time!!
夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルの前のビーチでチェックインという事だったので、チェックインカウンター的なものはなく、パラソルの下に担当のお姉さんが居て他の海水浴客のパラソルと混ざり困惑(笑)これも海外っぽいなぁなんて思いました。
ハレクラニホテルの前にある船に移動して乗船。
私達以外は全員英語圏の方だった。
船員も終始英語で、スノーケル経験者だったのでなんとかついていけたって感じ。
スノーケルは長めで、1時間くらい。英語での装着の説明もあり、ライフジャケットと水中メガネを渡されます。(フィンは無し。無くても大丈夫でした。)
スノーケルセットを装備していざ、海へ!!
船員の人に泳いでついて行くと…そこには海ガメが!!!その後も4匹も出会えて感動でした!少し海水が濁っていたので魚は見えにくかったですが、楽しめました。その後、船に戻ってセイリング。大きな帆を広げてスピード感とスリリングなひと時でした。お水やビールなども船上で買えるので飲み物の心配なし!(現金の方が良い)トイレも船内にありました。セイリングは割と長い時間揺れるので船酔いする人は酔い止めが必要です。
ワイキキの海を短時間で楽しめる良いアクテビティでした!!

As it is called the "Sea of Angels," the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was engrossed in snorkeling and playing with the fish, and searching for sea turtles, while enjoying a delicious hamburger for lunch! The BBQ cooked by the beautiful captain with a nice body was delicious. Seeing the beautiful sea, feeling the refreshing breeze, and swaying with the waves was so pleasant, fulfilling all my senses. It was a very fun day that brought me back to my childhood.
天使の海と言われるだけあって、とても綺麗な海でした。
シュノーケルで魚と戯れ、ウミガメさがしに夢中になり、お昼は美味しいハンバーガー‼︎

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we participated in this experience. From the start, the staff, especially Natsumi with her machine-gun talk and Juli with her witty remarks, made the atmosphere lively, and before we knew it, we had arrived at the port while enjoying their stories!
After listening to safety instructions and doing some warm-up exercises, we offered a prayer to the sea and jumped right in! At first, we couldn't meet our dolphin guide, but soon enough, dolphins swam right beneath us, and just when we thought they had gone far away, they returned and swam close to us—it was amazing!
When we changed spots to swim with the turtle professor, the water was so clear that we could see all the way to the seabed. We were able to see the turtle professor swimming towards the rocks and the vibrant colors of the tropical fish, as well as the shapes of the coral reefs on the ocean floor.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I was a bit anxious at first, but the staff were kind and assisted us, allowing us to swim with the dolphin guide and the turtle professor, making it a truly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I really think it was a great choice to include snorkeling with Dolphin Junior in our honeymoon itinerary. If I have the opportunity to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to experience snorkeling with Dolphin Junior once more!
新婚旅行でハワイに行った際に参加させていただきました。
出発からスタッフのナツミさんのマシンガントークやジュリさんのツッコミで盛り上げていただき、楽しくお話を聞いているうちにあっという間に港まで到着しました!
安全に関する説明などを聞いて準備体操をし、海にお祈りをささげて早速海へ!
最初はなかなかイルカ先生に会えませんでしたが途中から私たちの真下をイルカ先生が泳いだり、遠くに行ったかと思いきや帰ってきて近くを泳いでくれたりと最高でした!
スポットを変えてカメ大教授と泳いだときには海底まで見渡せるくらい海が澄んでおり、海面にいたカメ大教授が岩陰まで泳いでいく姿や熱帯魚の鮮やかな色合い・海底のさんご礁の形などを見ることができました。
シュノーケリング自体がはじめてだったので最初は不安でしたが、スタッフの方が優しくアシストしてくださり、イルカ先生やカメ大教授とも一緒に泳げたので本当に楽しく最高の思い出になりました。
新婚旅行の行程にイルカ中学さんのシュノーケリングを選んで本当によかったと思います。
またハワイ旅行をする機会があれば、その時にもイルカ中学さんでシュノーケリング体験をしたいと思いました!

The meeting place was hard to find. The guides were all foreigners, but there were Japanese language sheets with important information provided. We used the emergency life jackets as they were. There were only black fish, but we were able to see two families of sea turtles. They came up for air, so we were able to swim together for a while, which was very moving.
集合場所が分かりずらかったです。ガイドはみんな外人でしたが注意事項は日本語の用紙が用意されてました。ライフジャケットは緊急用のをそのまま使用でした。魚は黒いのしかいなかったですが海ガメ親子2家族とも会えました。息継ぎで上に出てきてくれたのでしばらく一緒に泳げてとても感動しました。

The staff were energetic and had a very good vibe. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins up close. There was a buildup saying, "Today is amazing. They're right there," so my expectations were high. I could see the dolphins in the distance, but they weren't as close as I had hoped. It felt like I watched the dolphin show at the aquarium two or three times. I couldn't see them in the ocean. I think it's a tour that has its ups and downs. The staff were all very pleasant.
スタッフの皆さんは、元気もありとても良い感じでした。やはりイルカが近くで見れないと少しがっかりです。「今日はすごいよ。そこにいるよ」と前振りもあったので、期待も大きかったです。遠くのイルカは見えましたが、期待していた近さはなく、水族館のイルカショーの回るところを2、3回見ましたという感じです。海の中でみることはできませんでした。当たりはずれがあるツアーだと思います。スタッフは気持ちが良い方ばかりです。

I previously participated in another snorkeling tour off Waikiki and had a great time, so this time I decided to join this one, which is slightly more expensive but includes a life vest as standard. My husband, who isn't the best swimmer, insisted on having a life vest, so we chose this option, and it turned out to be a good decision. Fortunately, there were plenty of sea turtles this time, which was a delight. The water clarity was decent, and personally, I think you can have a great time snorkeling off Waikiki without needing to go far. For those who have limited time but still want to snorkel, I think this is a great option. Drinks are available for purchase, and snacks are free. As expected, drinks are on the pricier side, so it might be a good idea to bring your own.
以前もう一方のワイキキ沖シュノーケルに参加してヨカッタので今回は若干高いけどライフベストが基本で配られるこちらに参加してみました。泳ぎが今ひとつな主人がライフベストがないとイヤ、というのでそうしたのですが、結果よかったです。ラッキーなことにウミガメが今回たくさんいて堪能。透明度もまずまずだし個人的には遠出しなくても十分ワイキキ沖で楽しめると思います。あまり時間がないけどシュノーケルも、という方にはポイント高いと思います。ドリンクは有料、スナックは無料です。当たり前ですがドリンクは高めなので、持参がよいかと・・・

When we arrived, it was just after high tide and the water was up to our waists, but we had a great time! The ocean was beautiful! Amazing!! Just that alone lifted our spirits. The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy, but it didn't rain.
A turtle, which seemed to be used to the tour guides (like an old friend from childhood), was swimming gently near the boat. We were told not to touch it, shout, or chase it! If we followed these rules, it gradually came closer to us. It was big! So cute!! Everyone was captivated, haha.
It made everyone so happy♪ We didn't go snorkeling; instead, we borrowed some floaties and just floated around, having a blast! It was so much fun! Floaties are the best! The food was delicious too! Kalbi♪
After getting out of the water, it got chilly, so having a warm drink was nice. The coffee was great! This was my second time participating, and I definitely want to come again☆
着いた頃は満潮から少し経った頃で水は腰上でしたが、充分楽しかったです!
海綺麗!最高!!これだけでテンション上がります。

We took a large bus to the dock, and from there, we transferred to a boat to set off. It's an efficient way to experience everything, so it might be great for those who are short on time or want to pack in a lot of activities. We had imagined we would be able to snorkel a bit more leisurely, so that was a bit disappointing. If snorkeling is your main goal, it might be better to choose a different tour. However, if your aim is to visit the sandbar, this could be a good option.
大型バスに乗って船着き場まで移動、そこから船に乗り換えて出発。
効率よく体験ができるので、時間のない方や色んなものを詰め込んでみたい方にはいいいかも。
私たちは、もうすこしゆっくりシュノーケリングができるかと想像していたので、その点はが残念でした。シュノーケリングを目的に参加するなら別のツアーがいいかもしれません。

These guys are fantastic. Very customer centric and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to show us a good time and all with a great sense of humour. They had spotted a pod of dolphins off to the left of our journey out to the turtles and took a wee detour so we could experience the dolphins. It was amazing!! Loved the turtles experience - the only recommendation here would be that the option of being able to hire a gopro on board would have put the icing on the cake. We didn't have an underwater camera and would gladly have paid to hire one to capture the turtles and colourful fish down under.
The sail was fantastic and the flying fish was another added unexpected bonus.
What a job!

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!
Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.

あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。

It depends on the day, but the boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! There were only two groups of Japanese participants, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones. We were able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat, and they were adorable as they jumped and swam parallel to the boat. Surprisingly, we even saw whales despite the season! The water was clear, and we swam with many fish, losing track of time. The meals were served buffet-style, but the food didn't meet my expectations. On the way back, there isn't much time to change, so I think it's best to wear clothes that are easy to change into. Overall, I am satisfied!
日によるでしょうが船が結構揺れたため酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です!

Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.
パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった!トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。

We used this for our honeymoon trip. After arriving at our destination by car, we switched to a boat and set off. It was a small boat that could only hold about 20 people, and it was fine at first when we were moving, but once we reached the open sea, the engine was turned off, and we had to get into the water two at a time on scooters. The waiting part was hell. We had to wait on a boat that was constantly rocking until it was our turn. Since it was a smaller boat, it really swayed. We forgot to take motion sickness medication, so we felt pretty nauseous. However, while we were on the scooters, we didn't feel the rocking, so it was super fun!! Lots of fish came close, and we even saw sea turtles! They took pictures with an underwater camera, which made for great memories. However, since we had to duck our heads underwater to get on the scooters, our faces and hair ended up completely soaked... I wish we could have taken some photos without getting wet. The boat ride was hell, but the underwater scooters were a blast! I definitely recommend that anyone using this service take precautions against seasickness.
新婚旅行で利用しました。
車で目的地に着いてから、船に乗り換えていざ出発。20人くらいしか乗れないボートのような船で、最初は走っているのでまだよかったんですが、沖に着くとエンジンを停めた状態で2人ずつスクーターに乗って海に入ります。待ってる側はここからが地獄。自分の番が来るまでひたすら波に揺れる船で待ち続けます。小さめな船なのでまあ揺れます。私たちは酔い止めを飲むのも忘れたので気持ち悪くてしょうがない。でもスクーターに乗ってる間は揺れないので、めっちゃ楽しかったです!!魚もたくさん寄ってきますし、海ガメも見れました!水中カメラで様子を撮影してくれるので、思い出に残る写真になりました。ただ、水中で頭をくぐらせてスクーターに乗るので、顔・髪はびしょ濡れ。。。できれば濡れてない写真を撮りたかったなぁとは思います。船は地獄でしたが、水中スクーターは楽しかったです!利用される方はぜひ船酔い対策をしていくことをおすすめします。

We participated for the first time as a couple with our 10-year-old child. I thought we might be sleepy since we woke up early, but we had a great time listening to the lively stories from the staff on the bus. I found the story about how bringing bananas on the boat is bad luck to be quite interesting.
Although it was August, I heard that the water can be quite cold, so we rented wetsuits for the family. It was hot when we changed on the boat, but I was glad it wasn't hot at all in the water.
I’m not very confident in my swimming skills, so I used a float. As soon as we entered the sea, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was moved to see them swimming right under our feet multiple times. We also saw a turtle, and the schools of fish were truly beautiful. Our whole family was very satisfied.
The staff were cheerful, and we were able to have a fun time. I purchased the photo data taken by the photographer for $50, and the photos were definitely professional quality. The only cash we spent on-site was for the wetsuit rental and the photos. There were no shops on-site, but we were provided with spam rice balls and drinks as snacks, which was sufficient.
I would love to participate again when we go to Hawaii.
10歳の子と夫婦で初めて参加しました。朝早くから眠いかなと思いましたが、行きのバスから元気なお姉さんのお話を聞きながら楽しく過ごしました。バナナは縁起が悪いので船に持ち込むのはダメ、というお話が面白かったです。
8月でしたが水中は結構冷えると聞いて、ウエットスーツを家族でレンタルしました。船の上で着替えたときは暑かったけど、水中では全然暑くなかったので良かったと思います。
私は泳ぎに自信がないので浮き棒を使わせてもらいました。
海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇できて、足の下を群れが何度も通って行くのを見て感動しました。カメにも会えたし、魚の群れも本当にキレイでした。家族全員、大満足です。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
カメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真のデータを50ドルで購入しましたが、さすがプロという感じの写真でした。現地で使った現金はウェットスーツ代と写真代だけでした。現地に売店などはありませんが、軽食でスパムおにぎりと飲物を頂けたので十分でした。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
Thank you for participating, Yuyuu!
Bananas are considered bad luck, as there's a superstition among sailors that you won't encounter dolphins if you bring them on board, so they are prohibited on the boat.
The fact that you encountered the lucky turtle means that a lot of happiness is sure to come your way!
We sincerely look forward to your next participation.
ゆうゆうさん、ご参加ありがとうございました!
バナナは縁起が悪いというか、船乗りの中でイルカに会えないというジンクスがあるので、ボートには持ち込み禁止になってます.
幸運のカメにも出会えたということは、たくさんのHappyがゆうゆうさんに訪れること間違いなしです!
またのご参加、心よりお待ちしております。

I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.
とても楽しい1日を過ごせました!
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい!明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。

This is my second time coming to Hawaii, and although I participated in a dolphin tour last time, this was my first time joining a tour with this company!
We left early in the morning, but the stories on the bus were so entertaining that we arrived at the port in no time, haha.
The staff were all fun and friendly, which made me feel very comfortable participating. I was extremely satisfied seeing dolphins and sea turtles in the beautifully clear ocean! The weather was great, and I had the best experience on a perfect day for a dolphin tour! Diving into the crystal-clear water felt like flying in the sky, and it was so refreshing that all my daily fatigue just disappeared! The tour was truly enjoyable from the boat ride there and back, and although I had never bought additional photos before, I had so much fun that I ended up buying them for the first time! Thank you! I will participate again next time!!
ハワイに来るのは今回で2回で、前回もイルカのツアーには参加したのですが、この会社のツアーに参加するのは今回が初めてでした!
早朝からの出発ですが、バスの中での話が面白くてあっという間に港に着きました 笑
スタッフさんも面白くて楽しい方ばかりで、とても安心して参加することができ、透き通った綺麗な海で見るイルカとウミガメに大満足!!天気も良く、絶好のイルカツアー日和に最高の体験をすることが出来ました!海面まで透き通っている海に潜っていると、まるで空を飛んでいるようで、日頃の疲れが全てぶっ飛ぶくらい気持ちよかったです!そして船上の行きも帰りまで本当に楽しいツアーで、追加写真などは今まで買ったことがなかったのですが、楽しすぎて初めて買ってしまいました!!ありがとうございます!次も参加します!!
Dear Bear,

I participated with my two children, a fourth grader and a second grader. It was our first time snorkeling and swimming in a sea where we couldn't touch the bottom, but each staff member was incredibly attentive, providing support and assistance in a very unobtrusive manner.
We were very lucky that day and were amazed to find ourselves swimming right above a large pod of dolphins. We also encountered sea turtles and rays, and my children had a great time touching real sea urchins.
I completely forgot about the reconfirmation by 8 PM the day before, and when I realized it was already past 9 PM, I left a voicemail at the local office. I was really anxious about not being picked up that morning, but when I arrived at the meeting point at 5:30 AM, they successfully picked us up. It was reassuring to know that VELTRA confirmed our local reservation from Japan, which eased my worries.
Next time, I definitely want to participate in the Dolphin University as well. Thank you very much!
小4と小2の子連れ&母の3人で参加しました。
シュノーケル未経験&足のつかない海でのスイミングも初めてでしたが、
スタッフの皆さん一人一人が細やかな気配りをしてくださり、実にさりげなくかつ常にフォロー&サポートしてくださいました。
当日はとてもラッキーで、イルカの大群の真上を泳いでいる自分たちに親子ともにビックリ。ウミガメやエイにも会えたし、子どもは本当のウニも触れてとても楽しそうでした。
前日20時までのリコンファームをすっかり忘れていて、気づいた時には21時過ぎ。現地のオフィスに留守電を残したものの、当日の朝に迎えに来ていただけなかったらどうしよう・・ととても不安な気持ちで早朝の待ち合わせ場所に向かったのですが(朝5時半)、無事、ピックアップしていただけました。不安な気持ちの中で、時差を活かしたVELTRAさんが現地の予約を日本から確認してくださったのですが、それもとても心強かったです。
次回はぜひイルカ大学にも参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Yuriryuu,
I am very pleased to hear that you were able to swim with many dolphins with your child. You can also enjoy marine activities on our university tour! We look forward to your next participation.
