We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

The lunch hamburger was delicious, and I was also happy to have a warm drink after snorkeling. We even saw sea turtles! I made a wish too, haha. I want to participate again!! Hawaii is the best!

The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!
曇りだったため、とても寒い中でのツアーになりました。ツアーは全員日本人。ガイドさんはひとり日本人で、あと数名ハワイの方がいました。主に日本人ガイドが案内をしてくれます。ウミガメウォッチングでは、何匹ものウミガメがみれました。サンドバーでの写真撮影時間を終え、スノーケルへ。寒かった!(笑)多くの人数で連なってスノーケルするので、正直砂ぼこりでなにも見えませんでした。綺麗な魚と珊瑚を想像していましたが、残念。軽食はサンドイッチとチップス、温かい飲み物も用意されていました。今度は天気のいい日に行けたらいいなー!

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.
宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。(9時に集合)迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。(その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが)その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。(ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい)船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの?と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!
I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!
When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)
ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました!
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました!
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。(大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。)

Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.
サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念!でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。

We encountered dolphins right after we set off. Once we entered the water, we came across a huge number of dolphins swimming so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. The last time I participated, the visibility wasn't very good, and while there were dolphins, I couldn't see them clearly. This time, there were so many dolphins, and the visibility was great, so I was very satisfied. The second snorkeling spot had few corals and fish, making it a bit underwhelming for snorkeling.
However, since the main attraction was the dolphins, I was overall very satisfied. The staff was very friendly, and since I had children with me, they were great at engaging with them. It was a very enjoyable tour! I would love to participate again.
出発してすぐにイルカに出会えました。海に入るとすごい数のイルカの群れに何度も遭遇して、手が届きそうなぐらい近くを泳いでいました。前回参加したときは透明度があまりよくなく、イルカがいたのですがあまりはっきり見れなかったのですが、今回は数もすごかったし透明度もよく大満足でした。2か所めのポイントはサンゴも魚も少なく、シュノーケルするには微妙な感じでした。
でもメインがイルカなので総合的に大満足です。スタッフもとてもフレンドリーで、子供連れだったのですが、よく子供の相手もしてくれました。とても楽しいツアーでした!!また参加したいです。

I participated for the first time at the strong recommendation of a junior colleague. I was lucky with the weather, but the water temperature was surprisingly low, not quite what you would expect from a southern island's sea. The water level at the sandbar was about knee-deep, so it didn't feel like a floating island. My wife, who participated last year, mentioned that the water level was up to her waist, so perhaps this year was still better.
For lunch, it wasn't the BBQ I had imagined; instead, they served hamburgers made from grilled patties over charcoal. It was delicious.
After playing at the sandbar for about an hour, we moved to a snorkeling spot while viewing sea turtles from the boat. We snorkeled for about an hour, but there weren't many fish. I had a decent time, but considering the cost, I feel that participating once is probably enough.
後輩の強い勧めで初めて参加しました。天候には恵まれラッキーでしたが、水温は意外と低く南の島の海といった感じではなかったです。サンドバーの水位は膝くらいまであり浮島といった感じではありませんでした。一緒に参加した妻が去年参加した時には腰くらいまで水位があったそうなので、まだ良い方なのかも。
ランチはBBQと聞いて想像するBBQではなく、ハンバーグを炭火で焼いてハンバーガーとして提供されました。味は美味しかったです。
サンドバーで1時間くらい遊んだあと,ウミガメがいるスポットを船上から眺めながらスノーケリングスポットへ移動し、1時間くらいスノーケリングをしましたが、魚はあまりいなかったです。それなりに楽しめましたが,料金に対しての満足度からすると1度参加すれば十分かなといった印象です。

I ended up going on a rainy day. Since it was high tide, I only got to see a slightly beautiful sea. While high tide can't be helped, I honestly wish they would cancel on rainy days. (If possible, I think they should offer discounts on days with high tide since they can know in advance.) It was just the sea, cold, the snorkeling was murky, and once it starts, you're stuck for about six hours. The staff were very nice, so I gave it two stars.
雨の日に当たってしまいました。且つ満ち潮だったためただの少し綺麗な海を見れただけといった感じでした。

ただの海、寒い、シュノーケリングは濁ってる、決行されると6時間程度は拘束される。

I finally went on a long-awaited 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii with my friends! I participated in this tour after making a reservation from Japan. Our high-energy tour guide picked us up at the hotel, and we set off for our destination! Since it was early in the morning, everyone on the bus looked sleepy, and many were dozing off, but the tour guide's enthusiastic chatter lifted our spirits. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was raining and I thought we might not see any beautiful scenery.
Once we arrived, we received safety instructions and a tour briefing before setting off on the boat. Suddenly, the sun came out, and the clarity of the ocean deepened! The views of the mountains and the sea were truly breathtaking. When we reached our destination, the boat stopped, and we had some free time. We took photos, went snorkeling, and had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with other participants and the instructor. There were many people from both Japan and overseas, making it a very enjoyable time.
Afterward, we returned to the boat for lunch! We could customize our hamburgers with our favorite toppings, and the burgers we ate on the boat were delicious. After finishing our meal, we went for sea turtle watching! We moved to a spot with clear waters and were able to see them beautifully. We encountered a very friendly sea turtle that came close to the boat, poking its head out, and it was so cute!
Next, we headed to the snorkeling point. Snorkeling was different from what I imagined; while the ocean was beautiful, the fish were quite large. It wasn't like seeing the small fish like Nemo in Okinawa; instead, there were big fish swimming around. I participated for the whole day, and it was more fun than I expected, truly creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you!

This was my third dolphin tour in Hawaii over the past five years, and I wish I had met the school sooner, but I'm glad I did.
Yuriko Mama told me to greet everyone with "Aloha" when getting on the bus, and I felt a bit embarrassed and nervous saying "Aloha" to the Japanese people on the bus. However, the atmosphere on the bus going and coming back was completely different; it felt like we were all one, like classmates.
I participated with my mother, sister, and aunt. My mother took a while to jump into the sea last time, but thanks to the staff and Yuriko Mama, she was able to dive in. My aunt was participating for the first time and took a long time to get in, missing the dolphins. Yuriko Mama told the other staff "No see," and when we found the dolphins a second time, she immediately called my aunt over, and my aunt was moved to tears swimming with the dolphins. I was filled with gratitude that they made it possible for parents in their 60s to experience the joy of swimming with dolphins. It was so much fun.
I apparently kicked my legs when I shouldn't have, but I was so absorbed that I didn't notice at all. I hope I didn't wake the dolphins during their rest time... I reflect on that. I love nature and the ocean too! On the way back, I even received a birthday present. Just being able to meet the dolphins was wonderful, and getting a birthday present made me incredibly happy.
Looking at the photos after returning to Japan, everyone has such great smiles, and thanks to the university staff and other guests, our beginner family was able to have a wonderful time.
I want to go again, or rather, I want to see the dolphins and the teachers again. I want to take classes again (*´∇`). I felt once again that I want to live in a way that protects nature even in Japan.
ここ5年で3度目のハワイ色々なイルカのツアーに参加していたけど、もっと早く学校と出逢いたかったし出逢えて良かった。
ユリコママにバスに乗る時「アロハ~」って挨拶してねって言われて、バス乗った時、日本人相手にアロハ~が恥ずかしいと言うか緊張してしまったけど行きと帰りのバスの空気は全く違って同級生というか心が一つなっていたように感じた。
母親、妹、叔母、私の4人で参加して、母親ゎ前回海に飛び込むのに時間かかったけど、まわりのスタッフさんやユリコママのお陰で海に飛び込めて、叔母ゎ初参加で、海に入るまで時間がかかってしまいイルカも見逃してしまったら、ユリコママがNo.seeと他のスタッフに言ってくれて2回目イルカを見つけた時すぐに叔母を呼んでくれて、おばもイルカ達さんと一緒に泳げて感動して涙が出てしまった。

I was a bit anxious because my husband's family only speaks English, but there were many native speakers (since it was a Japanese company), and they provided explanations in English, which was great. My mother and mother-in-law, who didn't want to snorkel, were specially taken out on a boat and seemed to enjoy it. The service was very good, and the response from the time of booking was polite and quick, which made me feel at ease.
As for the sea, it was cloudy and occasionally rainy, which made it a bit cold. We did some snorkeling and saw a few fish and turtles, but compared to the beautiful seas I've seen in other countries, it was just okay. Also, there was a long time for taking photos, and my husband's family seemed to be wondering what we were doing during that time.
However, it was a very good experience with my family on our first trip to Hawaii, and I recommend the company for their prompt and flexible service. I just felt that the price was a bit too high, so I give it four stars.
私達のハネムーンでハワイに来ました。家族はハワイが初めてだったので、人気のアクティビティを選びました。夫、私の家族総勢10名。夫の家族は英語しか話せないので不安でしたが、(日本の会社だったので)ネイティブの方もたくさんいらっしゃり、説明も英語でして下さり良かったです。スノーケルをしたくない私の母と義理の母には、わざわざボートを出してくれて楽しめたそうです。サービスはとても良く、予約の時から対応も丁寧でレスポンスも早く安心出来ました。
肝心の海は、曇って雨も時々降ったりと寒かったです。スノーケルもして、少し魚や亀が見れましたが、海や魚の綺麗さは今まで見て来た違う国の海と比べるとまぁまぁ、という感じでした。
あと、写真を撮る時間?みたいなのが長くて夫の家族は、何をする時間??みたいな雰囲気でした。
でも、初めてのハワイで家族とならとてもいい経験だし、会社の方も迅速、フレシキブルな対応でオススメです。
ただ、ちょっと値段が高すぎるので☆四つです。

The lunch burger was very delicious! It was great to have a foreign staff member playing the guitar and singing while we were out on the ocean! Also, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It was the first time I saw one up close! Yukiko, the Japanese female staff member, was friendly and wonderful, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the tour.
ランチのバーガーがとてもおいしかったです!海の上で外人のスタッフさんがギターを弾きながら歌を歌ってくれたのがとてもよかったです!
また、シュノーケルではウミガメを見ることができました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてです!
女性の日本人スタッフのユキコさんも気さくで素敵な方で、ツアーをしっかり楽しむことができました。

I was able to meet a lot of wild dolphins! ♡ I even got to swim close to a turtle, and it was truly a wonderful experience!!! I thought it might be hard to do this in Japan, so I'm really glad I made the reservation!
たっくさんの野生のイルカに会えました♡
カメも近くで一緒に泳げたし、本当に素敵な体験でした!!!
なかなか日本ではできないのかなぁ、と思うので、予約してよかったです!!
ALOHA !! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I hope you had an experience that is hard to come by in Japan and that it has become a wonderful memory of your time in Hawaii.

It was very beautiful, and the staff were friendly, and I was able to see turtles, which was great, but I thought there were too many people! Because of that, everything took a long time. I was looking forward to snorkeling as well, but since everyone was in a small area, I kept bumping into different people, and the time was really short, leaving me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
とても綺麗で、スタッフの方も気さくでカメも見れたしよかったのですが、人が多すぎるかな〜と思いました!
なので、すべてに時間がかかる(o_o)
シュノーケリングも楽しみにしていましたが、狭い場所をみんなで見るのでいろんな人とぶつかったり、時間もすごく短く、物足りなさが残りました。

Although it was an early morning departure, the guide's enthusiasm on the bus was fantastic, and it really got us excited. I was truly worried about the cold, but the wetsuit kept me warm, and I ended up enjoying it 100%! Within just 10 minutes of setting out on the boat, we encountered around 200 dolphins... I couldn't contain my excitement! It truly became a wonderful memory.
早朝発でしたが、その行きのバスからガイドさんの盛り上げが素晴らしく、テンション高くいけました。寒さが本当に心配だったのですが、ウェットスーツで防げて、結果100%楽しめました!船を出して10分でイルカ先生200匹ほどに出会え、、、もう興奮がおさまりませんでした!本当に素敵な思い出になりました。
ALOHA! Ketsuming, thank you for participating in Dolphin University. It seems you received a warm welcome from the 200 dolphins! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it 100%! Please do join us again when you come to Hawaii. MAHALO! Dolphin Office

I was able to go without a shuttle. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it was windy and cold on the boat. I wore my swimsuit just in case, but the water didn't recede as much as I thought, and I couldn't get out of the water without getting waist-deep, so I just stayed in the water and enjoyed the scenery. For the meal, I had a sandwich and juice, but since it was cold, I wished I had some warm coffee.
送迎なしで行けました。あいにく曇り空で船の上は風が吹いて寒い日でした。水着は一応着て行きましたが思っていたほど海水が引かず腰までつからなければ砂に上がれないので海水に入らず景色を見ていました。食事は、サンドイッチとジュースですが寒いので、暖かいコーヒーが欲しかったです。

You can enjoy sea activities and turtle watching at the sandbar after moving 3 points by boat, as well as snorkeling. The turtles were especially cute. We split into two boats, one for Japanese guests and one for international guests. Onboard, we had a hamburger lunch, and after snorkeling, warm drinks were provided. The boat was comfortable, equipped with restrooms, and there was no worry about theft of valuables. However, on bad weather days, it might be a bit cold after snorkeling. Since it can be chilly when wet, a beach towel is essential, and it would also be good to have a towel to sit on during the bus ride back. The snorkeling point may vary depending on the day's wave conditions, but the visibility was not as high as expected, around 5 meters. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles; on the day we participated, some people did swim with them. I definitely want to join again on a nice day, but since it's a popular tour, it's necessary to make a reservation early. The weather in Hawaii can change quickly even during the rainy season, so even if rain is forecasted, there may be sunny intervals, so you can relax.
船で3ポイント移動して、サンドバーでの海遊びとウミガメウォッチング、スノーケリングを楽しめます。
特にウミガメが可愛かったです。
船は2台に分かれて乗りましたが、1つは日本人向け、1つはインターナショナルです。
船の中でハンバーガーのランチが頂けたり、スノーケリングの後は暖かいドリンクも用意されていて、また、トイレ完備、貴重品盗難の心配もない、快適な空間でした。
ただし、天気が悪い日は、スノーケリングの後、少し寒いかもしれません。
濡れていると寒いので、ビーチタオルは必須ですが、帰りのバスでお尻の下に敷くタオルもあると良いでしょう。
スノーケリングポイントはその日の波の状況にもよると思いますが、思いの外透明度は高くありませんでした。5メートルくらいでしょうか。
運が良ければ、ウミガメと一緒に泳げます。実際に参加した日もウミガメと泳げた人もいました。
また、天気がいい日に是非参加したいところですが、人気のツアーのため、早めに予約しておく必要があります。
ハワイの天気は雨季でもコロコロ変わるので、雨の予報でも晴れ間は出ますので、安心して下さい。
