This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!

2回目の参加です。日本人は私達だけですが英語が話せなくても簡単な日本語は話してくれますし、英語アレルギーが無ければ身振り手振りでも何とかなると思います（笑）。沖まで出てシュノーケルポイントに到着した時の写真をアップロードします。海の中も空もとてもキレイで癒されました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルセット（足ひれ無し）は費用に含まれているので無料で配布されます。今回は運が良くウミガメ３匹を見る事ができました！12月下旬でしたが長袖のラッシュガードを着ている事もあり寒さを感じる事無く楽しめました。シュノーケル後は無料でお水やお菓子（チップスやクッキーなど）が配られます。私は有料のスパークリング（3ドルだったかな？）を2杯もらいました。支払いは到着後まとめて払います（私はチップ込で10ドル払いました）。帰りはバナナボートかと思うくらい大きく揺らして乗客を楽しませてくれたので（笑）船内は大洪水でした。2人位船酔いのようでぐったりしている方がいましたがスタッフの方がアロマを嗅がせたり優しく対応をしていました。今回もとても楽しめました。次回ハワイに行く時も、必ず参加します！！

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Rather than swimming with dolphins... イルカと泳ぐというよりか…

Reviewed by: りょう

There were nearly 40 participants in the early morning tour, which felt quite large. The pick-up time was perfect. We received explanations in Japanese from a very friendly staff member, and upon arriving at the port, we received rental gear and changed into wetsuits. About 10% of the participants were foreigners, with the majority being Japanese.

As soon as the boat set off, the staff introduced themselves, and we encountered dolphins! However, in a good way, we were not allowed to touch or chase the dolphins. It was more about observing the pod swimming from the water.

When there are many people from other tours nearby, it creates a significant number of humans spread out in the water, making it hard for the dolphins to come close. While this is understandable, I felt that for those who are satisfied, it could be a very rare experience. Honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling of swimming closely with the dolphins as I had imagined. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If you want that experience, a private tour might be necessary, as nearly 40 people felt like too many. While it might be necessary for efficiency, I wished for a smaller group to approach the dolphins without startling them.

We dove twice, and during the first dive to get close to the dolphins, we spent about 30 minutes in the water, which left many women feeling quite groggy. There were many beginners in snorkeling, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication or purchasing and wearing a motion sickness band. There were quite a few people on the boat who looked exhausted, so please make sure to prepare adequately for warmth.

早起きの部で、合計４０名近くでのツアー参加者が居ましたがこれがとっても多いんじゃないかなと感じました。。
送迎時間はピッタリ。とても気さくなスタッフさんから日本語で説明を受け、港に着いたらレンタルグッズをもらいウェットスーツに着替えます。海外の方は１割程度とほぼ日本人。。
船が出向してすぐにスタッフさんの自己紹介を終えるとイルカに遭遇！！

ただし、良い意味でイルカには触ってはいけないし追いかけてもいけません！！あくでもイルカの群れが泳いでいるのをこちらも海中から覗き見るという感じです。

なので他のツアーの方などが近くにいると相当な数の人間が海に広がっているのでイルカもなかなか近寄ってくれません。当然といえば当然かもですが。。。
それでも満足な方であれば非常に稀有な経験ができると思いましたが、正直想像していたよりも近くで泳ぐイルカと一緒に泳げている感覚にはなれませんでした。
ちょっと期待値が高すぎたかなと。それを望むならプライベートツアーじゃないと無理かもしれませんが、４０名近くはさすがに多すぎるように思いました。効率を考えると仕方ないかもしれませんが、本当にイルカを驚かせないように近づいてもらうためにはもっと少人数のツアーだとよかったなと感じました。
２回ダイブするのですが、１回目のイルカに近寄るダイブで３０分くらい海に浸かっているのでこの時点で相当数な女性がグロッキー状態になっておりました。シュノーケリング初心者の方が多かったそうですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたり酔い止めバンドを購入して装着しておくことをお勧めしますよ。船上でもはいてる方やぐったりしている方は多かったので、防寒対策もしっかりとご準備ください。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Fun morning

Reviewed by: D & J

Was lots of fun - the divers/guides with us were great. Only negative was that it was a little choppy on the day and my husband ended up getting seasick while waiting for others to complete their turn. This though ended up a positive as it helped with bringing more fish closer to the boat! Next time we would be more prepared and take seasick tablets beforehand. Also I had tried scuba diving in the past and had problems "equalizing", thus could not move far from the diving platform. The underwater scooter experience has helped me overcome my previous fears of underwater adventures. An awesome time was had despite the seasickness.

I wasn't able to go snorkeling. シュノーケリングさせてもらえず

Reviewed by: プンプン

It was written that snorkeling could be done during the waiting time, and although it was more expensive than other sites without snorkeling, I applied thinking I could snorkel as well. In reality, the explanation was insufficient, and the guide who could somewhat speak Japanese was unfriendly. There were no prior instructions for the underwater scooter, so I ended up not knowing when to snorkel. I would like a refund for the snorkeling fee.

待ち時間にシュノーケリングが出来ると書いてあり、他社サイトのシュノーケリング無しより高かったがシュノーケリングも出来ると思い、申し込みました。
実際は説明も不十分ですし、日本語がなんとなく話せるガイドは感じ悪く、水中スクーターの事前の順番の指示もない為、シュノーケリングをするタイミングがわからいまま、終了しました。
シュノーケリング代分返して欲しいです。

Even for one person, or someone prone to seasickness, the hospitality is so high that it leaves you completely satisfied. 1人でも、船酔い体質でも大満足できるほどの高いホスピタリティ

Reviewed by: morrissey

- First of all, on the morning of the event, a Japanese staff member made a morning call to our hotel room to inform us again about the meeting time and place, and I was pleasantly surprised by their attentive service.

- The guidance and advice during the bus ride were also excellent and showed a high level of professionalism! They provided important safety tips for being in the ocean (like avoiding contact with sea turtles due to potential fines and bacteria) and suggested not to sleep during certain hours to avoid seasickness, which was very considerate and reassuring. Announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

- Once we boarded the boat, the hospitality of the crew was absolutely amazing! They struck a perfect balance between giving us space and being cheerful and engaging, while also being incredibly attentive and considerate. I believe it's rare to find such high-quality service even in various customer service settings within Japan. (I somehow became a fan, and honestly, I wasn't that interested in dolphins or the ocean, but since returning home, I've been following Dolphin & You's Instagram constantly.)

- We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins right away! Also, it was my first time snorkeling, but it wasn't too difficult.

- Even if you don't see dolphins, you'll definitely leave satisfied with the crew's dance performances on the boat, activities like the water trampoline and air slide, and the delicious burgers grilled right there on the spot.

- By the way, I have a terrible tendency to get seasick, so unfortunately, I couldn't stay in the water for long and spent more time on the boat, but I still had a great time. I had the burger after getting back to the hotel when it was cold, but it was still fantastic! It's one of the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. The buns are purple, which is surprising, but they taste great without any weirdness (laughs).

・まず、当日の朝、日本人スタッフの方がホテルの部屋に、改めて集合時間や集合場所を知らせるモーニングコールをしてくださって、丁寧な仕事に良い意味でびっくり

・移動のバスの中での案内やアドバイスもプロファッショナリティを感じる素晴らしいものでした！海の中での注意（罰金を取られるしバクテリアもいるから海亀には接触禁止、とか）や、船酔いになりやすくなるから出来れば移動中◯時〜◯時は眠らない方が良いですよ、とかも凄く丁寧だし安心感が持てます。英語と日本語両方でアナウンスがあるので英語に自信がなくても安心。

・いよいよ船に乗り込んでからのクルーの皆さんのホスピタリティが素晴らし過ぎて！ほどよく放っておいて下さって陽気に接してくださるのですが、実は気配り目配り気遣いがすごい！日本国内のあらゆる接客サービスでもこれだけのものはなかなかないと思えるほど。（なんだかファンになってしまって、正直そこまでイルカや海に興味がなかったのに、帰国してからドルフィン&ユーのインスタずっとフォローしてます）

・ハシナガイルカの群れにも運良くすぐに出会えました！また、初シュノーケリングでしたがそんなに難しくなかったです

・たとえイルカを見られなかったとしても、船上でのクルーのダンスや、水上トランポリン&エアースライダーなどのアクティビティ、その場でグリルして焼く絶品のバーガーなど、絶対満足して帰れます。

・ちなみに私はひどい「波酔い」体質で、残念ながら長く海にはいっていられず、船の上にいる時間が長かったのですが、それでも楽しめました。バーガーも船を降りてホテルに帰ってから冷めたのを頂いたのですがそれでも絶品！ハワイで食べたバーガーの中で1、2を争う美味しさです。バンズが紫色でびっくりしますがクセもなく美味しいです（笑）

You can see wild animals up close! 野生の動物が近くで見れる！

Reviewed by: まりこ

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins. An hour before the meeting time, the hotel staff gave us a morning call, confirmed the pickup time and location, and provided explanations, which was very helpful for us since we are not morning people.

The bus that picked us up had a monitor that explained the rules to follow when meeting wild dolphins and how to wear life jackets, allowing us to join the tour without any anxiety. Once we arrived at the port, we used the restroom and boarded the boat to set off!

Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a photographer, and a lifeguard, all of whom were cheerful and played music, dancing with us. We had a great time without feeling seasick while heading to the dolphin spot. However, for those participating in the winter early morning tour, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit due to the cold wind and water temperature.

When we anchored at the dolphin spot, it was finally time to enter the sea! Guided by the crew, when I looked down, I saw a large group of dolphins swimming gracefully within reach. I was so moved when they came right beneath us that I got goosebumps! They came close to us about four times, and I was healed by the sight of the baby dolphins and their squeaky sounds.

Later, while we were heading to the next snorkeling spot, we encountered a pod of whales! We were lucky to see them blowing water and raising their tails just 50 meters away. When we arrived at the next spot and went snorkeling, we were able to see a mother and baby sea turtle swimming on a large rock. They were so cute, and as I watched them from above, time flew by. There were also kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a slide from the boat available, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

When we returned to the boat, the captain was grilling hamburgers for us, and having lunch surrounded by the great nature of mountains and the sea was incredibly delicious. On the way back to the port, they even played the ukulele and performed hula dancing, and the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a fantastic experience!

念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
集合時間の1時間前にホテルにモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認など事前に説明して下さり、朝が苦手な私達にとってはとても助かりました。
迎えに来たバスにはモニターがついていて、野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない事や、ライフジャケットの着方について説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着くと、トイレを済ませて船に乗り込み出発！
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、カメラマン、ライフセーバーがいたのですが、とにかく陽気で音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカのスポットに行くまでの間、船酔いすることなく楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ冬の早朝便で参加される方は風も水温も冷たいため、ウェットスーツをレンタルした方がいいかもです。
イルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ海へ！
クルーに案内されて下を見てみると、イルカの大群が手の届きそうなところで優雅に泳いでいて、私たちの真下にきてくれた時は鳥肌がたつくらい感動しました！その後も4回くらい近くへ来てくれて、子供のイルカやキューキューという鳴き声に癒されました。
その後、次のシュノーケリングスポットへ船を走らせていると、なんとクジラの群れに遭遇！潮を吹いて、尾ひれを上げている様子がすぐ50M先で見ることができてラッキーでした！
次のスポットへ到着してシュノーケリングをしていると、大きな岩の上で泳いでいるウミガメの親子を見ることができました。とてもかわいくてボーッと上の方から眺めているとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいましたが、他にもカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台など用意されていて、みなさんそれぞれ楽しんでいるようでした。
船に戻るとキャプテンがハンバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、大自然の山と海に囲まれながら食べるはランチは最高においしかったです。
港に帰る船上でもウクレレを持ってフラダンスしてくれたり、親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さって本当に楽しかったです！！

It was just as good as the reviews said! 評判通りでした！

Reviewed by: hppct

In January, I participated in a tour with my fourth-grade child. Most of the participants were Japanese.

First, after arriving at the port and before boarding the boat, we had to put on fins and wetsuits. If the sizes don’t fit on the first try, it can get hectic, so I recommend acting quickly, including using the restroom after getting off the bus.

Shortly after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which was exciting. However, since the pod was large and scattered, it was difficult to see, so we spent some time looking for another group of dolphins. It took a while, but I appreciated the cheerful performance by the staff, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Finally, we found a pod! After a brief explanation of snorkeling, we, as first-timers, cautiously entered the water. For a while, we were just trying to get used to the water, but we were able to see the dolphins three times. It was a strange yet moving experience to see wild dolphins swimming right in front of me in the deep sea!

After swimming with the dolphins, we moved to a different location for free time and activities. Snorkeling in an area with many tropical fish was also very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. Due to our fatigue from snorkeling and the chilly January weather, we couldn’t fully enjoy our free time, but I think if the timing was better and we had more experience and stamina, we could have had even more fun.

Overall, I felt the staff's desire to create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied because I was able to have the experiences I had hoped for!

１月に小４の子連れでツアーに参加しました。参加者はほぼ日本人でした。
まず港に着いてから船に乗るまでの間に足ヒレやウェットスーツを着用するのですが、１回でサイズが合わないと慌ただしくなってしまうので、下車後はトイレを含め素早い行動をお勧めします。
出港まもなくイルカの群れを発見して期待に胸が高鳴ります。しかし群れが大きい（まとまりがなくて見にくい）とのことで、しばらく他のイルカの群れを探すことに。探すのに時間はかかりましたが、スタッフの陽気なパフォーマンスで待ち時間を楽しく過ごすことができて感謝でした。
そして、ついに群れを発見！簡単にシュノーケリングの説明を受け、シュノーケリング初体験の我々は恐る恐る入水。しばらくは水に慣れるのに精いっぱいという状態でしたが、計３回の群れを見ることができました。かなり深い海に浮かんでいる自分の目の前を、野生のイルカの群れが泳いでいくというのは、不思議な感覚というか、やはり感動しました！
イルカと泳いだ後は、場所を変えてアクティビティ等の自由時間です。熱帯魚の多い場所で、ここでのシュノーケリングも非常に楽しかったです。運よくウミガメも見ることができました。我々は初体験のシュノーケリングによる疲れと、１月で肌寒かったこともあって、自由時間を十分満喫できたとは言えませんが、時期が良くて経験と体力があれば、もっと楽しめたと思います。
全体を通してスタッフの「ハワイで良い想い出を」という気持ちが伝わり、実際に期待していた経験ができたので、非常に満足でした！

I got to meet wild dolphins! ♡ 野生イルカに会えました♡

Reviewed by: くーみんたん

I was so excited when I finally saw wild dolphins from the boat. They were jumping around in large groups, and occasionally they even showed off twist jumps like in an aquarium show, which was amazing. Once I got into the water, I only saw a pod of dolphins once, but a huge group swam right underneath me while I was floating! I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but I couldn't operate it well underwater, so I couldn't take any photos of the dolphins. If you want to take pictures underwater, I definitely recommend using an underwater camera. I encountered sea turtles several times. They swam right up to where we were floating, and I was worried I might accidentally touch one.

On the boat, the friendly crew kept the atmosphere lively and even showed us a wonderful hula dance. I enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch. During the free time for snorkeling, there were plenty of fun options available, like a slide, trampoline, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Since I participated at a discounted rate, I was personally satisfied with the experience, but I think it would have been better if there were a few more opportunities to swim with the dolphins at the regular price. By the way, the crew mentioned that they saw a whale on the way back, but there was no announcement made to the group, so I missed it.

船の上から念願の野生イルカを見れた時にはとてもテンションが上がりました。大勢の群れでピョンピョン飛び跳ねながら、たまに水族館のショーみたいにツイストジャンプまで見せてくれて感激しました。実際海に入ってからは、一度しかイルカの群れを見る事が出来ませんでしたが、自分が浮いてる真下をイルカの大群が泳いでいきました！iPhoneを防水ケースに入れて持って行きましたが、水中ではうまく操作が出来ず携帯ではイルカの写真を撮る事ができませんでした。はやり海中で写真をとるなら水中カメラがオススメです。ウミガメには何度か会えました。私たちがプカプカ浮いている所に泳いでくるので、危うく触れてしまうのではないかとヒヤヒヤしました。
船上ではフレンドリーなクルー達が盛り上げてくれ、素敵なフラダンスを見せてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく頂きました。シュノーケリングの自由時間には、滑り台やトランポリン、カヌー、スタンドアップパドルなどなど、遊べるオプションが充実しています。
モニター価格での参加でしたので、個人的には満足な内容でしたが、一般料金で参加の場合はもう少しイルカと泳ぐポイントが多かったらいいかなと思いました。因みに、帰り際にクルーがクジラも見れたと言っていましたが、特に全体に向けてのお知らせは無かったので私は見ることが出来ませんでした。

A tour you definitely want to join when you go to Oahu! オアフ島に行ったら絶対に参加したいツアー！

Reviewed by: T•K

I participated in a tour to swim with dolphins for the first time in Hawaii. Despite it being early in the morning, they provided a proper wake-up call at the hotel, confirmed the pickup time and location, and explained that renting a wetsuit would incur an additional cost due to the low water temperature in winter, advising us to bring cash or a credit card for that purpose. This left a very good impression on me.

The bus that picked us up was not a van, but a proper large bus with a very clean interior, which reassured me before the tour even began. On the way to the harbor, they provided detailed explanations about the swimming techniques we needed to follow to meet wild dolphins, allowing us to participate in the tour without any anxiety.

Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and boarded the boat, setting off to meet the wild dolphins! Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a professional photographer, a lifeguard who was also a hula dancer, and the captain. Everyone was cheerful and entertained us by playing music and dancing, making the time on the boat enjoyable as we headed to the dolphin spot.

When the captain anchored the boat at the dolphin location, we finally got to swim with the wild dolphins! The crew guided us to where the dolphins were, and when we dove in, we were amazed to see dozens of dolphins swimming gracefully so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close, and I was truly moved!

After the dolphins swam away from where we were, we returned to the boat and headed to a spot for snorkeling! We had about 40 minutes of free time, and we could either snorkel or use the paddleboards and kayaks that the crew provided. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling, and while watching tropical fish, we spotted a sea turtle that the crew had mentioned we might be lucky enough to see! The sea turtle swam gracefully close enough that we could almost reach out to it, which was incredible!

When we returned to the boat, the crew had grilled Hawaiian cheeseburgers waiting for us, and we enjoyed them while watching a hula dance performance. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of mountains and the sea, having met dolphins and sea turtles, and enjoying lunch while watching hula dancing on the boat made for a luxurious tour experience. I was very satisfied, and above all, the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a tour worth participating in! If you want to swim with dolphins when you visit Oahu, I highly recommend "Dolphin & You"!

今回ハワイで初めてイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
早朝にも関わらず、ホテルにきちんとモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認、そして冬でかなり水温が低い事からウェットスーツをレンタルする場合にはお金が掛かるので、借りる場合はその分の現金もしくはクレジットカードを持参した方がいい旨なども事前に説明して下さったことからとても好印象を受けました。
迎えに来たバスはバンではなく、きちんとした大きなバスで内装もとても綺麗でツアーが始まる前から安心しました。
バスで港に向かうまでの間に野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない海の中での泳ぎ方等についても詳しく説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着いて、ウェットスーツなどを着用してから船に乗り込みいよいよ野生のイルカに会いに出発！
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、プロのカメラマン、プロのライフセーバー兼フラダンサー、キャプテンがいたのですがとにかく皆さん陽気で私達を楽しませてくれる為に音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカに会えるスポットに行くまでの間退屈することなく船上で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
キャプテンがイルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ野生のイルカと泳ぎに海へ！
クルーがイルカのいるところまで泳いで案内してくれて潜ってみると手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎という近さで何十頭ものイルカが優雅に泳いでおり、人生で初めて野生のイルカを間近で肉眼で見る事ができ、ほんとに感動しました！
イルカの群れが私達がいた箇所を離れていってから船の上に戻り、次はシュノーケリングを楽しめるスポットへ！
こちらでは40分程の自由時間をもらえて、シュノーケリングをするもよし！
クルーの方がパドルボートとカヤックも用意してくれるのでこちらをやるもよし！
私と夫はシュノーケリングを楽しみ、熱帯魚を見ていたらクルーの方が「ラッキーだと海亀に会えるかも！」と言っていた海亀を発見！
海亀も手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎というぐらい近くを優雅に泳いでくれて感動しました！
船上に帰るとクルーがハワイアンチーズバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、フラダンサーの踊りを鑑賞しながらチーズバーガーを頬張りました。
周りを見れば大自然の山と海！
イルカや海亀にも会えて、船上でフラダンスを見ながらのランチ！贅沢なツアー内容に大満足ですし、何より親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さり本当に参加した価値のあったツアーでした！
オアフ島に行った際にイルカと泳ぎたいなら『Dolphin&you』オススメです！

It's my most enjoyable memory. 楽しい一番の思い出です

Reviewed by: mannaka

It's been about a month since I returned from Hawaii, and it has become my best memory. The instructor and the couple in my group were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I encountered fish, turtles, and eels, and I even got some beautiful photos taken! The downloaded photos turned out really well, and I've been showing them off to everyone since I got back. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything!

ハワイから帰ってきて約１ケ月経ちましたが、一番の思い出になっています。
インストラクターの方も、一緒のグループのご夫妻もとても気さくで楽しかったです！魚も亀にもウツボにも出会え、しかも綺麗な写真も撮っていただきました！
ダウンロードした写真は本当に綺麗に撮れており、帰ってからみんなに見せて自慢しています。
また機会あれば是非参加したいと思いますし、皆さんにおすすめしたいです。
いろいろありがとうございました！

December snorkeling １２月のシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: やました

In December, the weather was nice, but there was a bit of a chilly impression from the start. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we encountered wild dolphins early on, and we all got into the sea to wait for the dolphins to come closer. After a while, we were thrilled to see the dolphins jumping and spinning in the air nearby! However, it seems that usually, the dolphins come quite close, so timing is important. The seawater was cold, and as someone who is sensitive to the cold, I ended up sitting out for a bit, but I was satisfied to see the wild dolphins up close! Also, personally, the staff were very cheerful and made the atmosphere lively, so just being there was enjoyable! There was also a professional hula dancer, and doing hula dance together at the end was a valuable experience. However, although it was advertised as a boat BBQ, what was served was a hamburger, which raised some questions (the hamburger itself was delicious, though). Overall, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan, so I recommend it! For those sensitive to the cold, even in Hawaii, the seawater in December was chilly, so participating in a warmer season would allow for maximum enjoyment.

12月ということで、天気は良かったのですが、少し肌寒い印象が最初からありました。
船に乗って出発すると、早い段階で野生のイルカに出会うことが出来、みんなで海に入り、イルカが近づいてくるのを待ちました。
しばらくすると近くでイルカ達がジャンプしたり、空中でくるくると回っている様子を見られて感激しました！
ただ、普段だと、かなり間近までイルカが近づいてきてくれることもあるようで、タイミングがあるみたいですね。
海水が冷たく、冷え性の私はこの辺りでダウンしてしましたが、野生のイルカを近くで見ることが出来、満足です！
あと、個人的にはスタッフの方がとっても陽気に場を盛り上げてくれたので、その場にいるだけで楽しめました！プロのフラダンサーさんもいて、最後にみんなでフラダンスをしたのも貴重な体験です。
ただ、船上BBQ付とのことでしたが、提供されたのはハンバーガーだったので、これは疑問です（ハンバーガー自体は美味しかったですよ）
総合的には、日本では出来ない体験が出来たので、オススメです！
冷え性の方はハワイとはいえ１２月の海水は寒かったので、温かいシーズンに参加すると、目一杯楽しめると思います。

A lot of tropical fish! いっぱいの熱帯魚！

Reviewed by: H. Furuta

I participated on December 8th. December in Hawaii is the rainy season, and it was rainy from the morning. If the weather had been better, the ocean would have looked clearer, but with the bad weather, the ocean was indeed dim. However, it was great to see many tropical fish and sea turtles.

12月8日に参加しました。ハワイの12月は雨季、朝から雨模様でした。天気が良ければもっと海の中は綺麗に見えたのでしょうが、やはり天気が悪いと海の中も薄暗く…。でも、多くの熱帯魚とウミガメと会えたのは良かった。

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I joined the Dolphin & You tour.

On the day of the tour, I arrived at the hotel meeting point at 4:40 AM. The bus to the port was very clean.

During the bus ride, there were explanations in Japanese about the rental of wetsuits ($10 per person), photo services (the combined cost for photos and videos was around $100), and the price for motion sickness wristbands (I can't remember how much that was), as well as safety tips for when we encountered dolphins. Since we had experienced extreme cold on the previous day's tour, we decided to rent wetsuits and also signed up for the photo and video package as a special memory. By the way, the water temperature was low, and even with the wetsuits, it was still cold, so I recommend renting a wetsuit, bringing a large towel, and if possible, bringing a change of clothes during this season! Those who signed up for photos received silicone bands to prioritize photo opportunities underwater.

Upon arriving at the port, we stopped by the restroom, and then wetsuits (only for those who signed up) and snorkeling gear were distributed before boarding a small boat. When we participated, there were about 30 participants, so the boat was full.

We headed to the first spot where we could encounter dolphins, and while snorkeling, we first saw a seal. This seal is said to be very rare, with only about 1,200 individuals living in the area, so we were very lucky to see it. We were able to snorkel to our heart's content while watching many dolphins swimming right in front of us and jumping a little further away at two different spots.

After that, we moved to a different location where we played with snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and a slide from the boat, and we had cheeseburgers and potato chips. Then, we watched a hula dance, received tattoo stickers, and returned to the port, where we took a final group photo with the staff and all participants before heading back to the hotel by bus.

I was able to see many dolphins, and all the staff were friendly, making it a very satisfying tour!

イルカと泳いでみたいと思い、ドルフィン＆ユーのツアーに参加しました。

当日は、午前４時４０分にホテルの集合場所へ。港へ向かうバスはとてもきれいなバスでした。

バスの中では日本語で、ウェットスーツの貸し出し(１人１０ドル)や、写真の案内(写真と動画は合わせて、たしか１００ドル)、酔い止めのリストバンドの案内(いくらだったかな？)、イルカに出会ったときの注意点などの説明がありました。
私たちは、前日のツアーで死ぬほど寒い思いをしたので、ウェットスーツを、また、せっかくの記念にと、写真と動画を申し込みました。ちなみに、実際水温が低くウェットスーツを来ていても寒かったので、この時期はウェットスーツを借りること、大きめのバスタオルを持っていくこと、できれば着替えも持っていくことをおすすめします！
写真を申し込んだ人には、水中で優先的に写真を撮るためということで、シリコンバンドが配られました。

港に着くと、トイレに寄り、その後ウェットスーツ(もちろん申し込んだ人のみ)とシュノーケリンググッズが配られ、小型の船に乗り込みます。私たちが参加した時は、３０人ぐらいの参加者がいたので、船は満員でした。

最初のイルカと出会えるスポットへ行き、シュノーケリングをしていると、まずアザラシを見ることができました。そのアザラシは、１２００頭ほどしか生息しない、とても希少なアザラシだそうで、見ることができてとてもラッキーでした。
また、たくさんのイルカが目の前を泳いだり、少し離れたところでジャンプしていたりと、２か所のスポットで思う存分イルカを見ながらシュノーケリングすることができました。

その後、違うスポットに場所を移し、シュノーケリングやカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台で遊び、チーズバーガーとポテトチップスを食べました。
そしで、フラダンスを見たり、タトゥーシールをもらったりしながら、港へと戻り、最後にスタッフの方や参加者全員で写真を撮ってから、バスでホテルへと戻りました。

たくさんのイルカに会うことができましたし、スタッフの方もみなさんフレンドリーで大満足のツアーでした！！
