We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.
On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!
The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.
小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった!また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)
Thank you for participating with your whole family! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. Hanauma Bay is truly a beautiful ocean where you can swim with a variety of fish. Please come back to see the fish of Hanauma again. I hope to show you the Honu next time. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ご家族皆様でのご参加、ありがとうございます!初めてのシュノーケリングをとても楽しんでいただけたようで私も嬉しいです。ハナウマ湾は本当に多くの種類のお魚達と一緒に泳げる綺麗な海です。また是非ハナウマのお魚達に会いに来てくださいね。次回はHonuをお見せできればと思っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Our family of five participated, with children aged 10, 8, and 6. It was the children's first time snorkeling, and for the 6-year-old, it was even their first time swimming in the ocean. However, Dan and Chieko provided excellent support, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle as well. Although it was after a typhoon, it seemed to be murkier than usual. Still, we were satisfied to see many fish. If we have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, we would love to join your tour! Thank you very much.
家族5人、子供は10才、8才、6才が参加でした。
子供たちはシュノーケリングが初めて、6才は海で泳ぐことすら初めてでした。
ですが、ダンさんとチエコさんがしっかりサポートしてくれて、安心して楽しむことができました。ウミガメにも遭うことができラッキーでした。

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!
Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.
The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.
Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.
Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the Kai 'Oli'Oli. We are sorry your experience wasn't the best. Because of your feedback, we have thoroughly retrained the crew on how to efficiently conduct our snorkel preparation and briefings and have privately counseled the Captain about his disinterest towards you and your family. At our next crew meeting, we have food and beverage training scheduled in addition to our usual safety training. We strive to always have complete customer satisfaction and we know that at times we may fall short, so we truly appreciate your input. When you visit O'ahu again, please call us directly and we would like to host you on our boat and we will be proud to show you a better tour as a result of your review.

I was able to see dolphins from the boat multiple times, but it was difficult to see them swimming underwater. However, on my third try, I finally got to meet a dolphin I had been hoping to see. They swam beneath us and, although at a distance, they performed spinning jumps, and I even got to see a baby dolphin. It was amazing. I want to participate again.
船の上からイルカを何度も見ることはできていましたが、水中で泳いでいる姿を見ることはなかなかできませんでしたが、3回目のトライで念願のイルカに逢えました。
自分たちが泳いでいる下を通り過ぎたり、中距離でしたが、回転ジャンプしたり、赤ちゃんイルカに逢えました。

Excellent pair of guides with a small group of us to work with. I had never snorkeled before and had no trouble following the instructions. It didn't matter that I was not an experienced swimmer. Sure makes a difference getting past the lineup to get in because of being part of a group. I recommend aiming for low tide if you have a choice.

I signed up for the early morning plan this time. The instructors were both Japanese and foreign, but they spoke Japanese fluently and had the hospitality typical of Japan, making the snorkeling experience very enjoyable.
They were also kind in guiding those who are not good at swimming.
Hanauma Bay can be accessed if you plan it yourself, but during busy times, joining a plan like this makes it relatively easier to enter, so I highly recommend it.
今回朝一のプランに申し込みました。
日本人の方と、外国の方が先生でしたが、日本語ぺらぺらでしたし、日本のホスピタリティも持ち合わせていらっしゃるのでとても楽しくシュノーケルが出来ました。
泳ぎが苦手な方にも親切に指導していらしてました。
ハナウマ湾は自身でも計画さえすれば入れるところですが、混む時期はこのようなプランに入れば比較的楽に入場できるので大変おすすめです。
Thank you for choosing our tour from among many options. Currently, summer vacation has started, and there are long lines every day to purchase entrance tickets at Hanauma Bay.

I apologize for the long message.
I participated with my three children early in the morning on July 19, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. To make matters worse, it seemed that the day was affected by a typhoon, and the waves were quite rough, making for a really tough tour.
As the main event of our Hawaii trip, I wanted my sons, who love swimming, to swim with dolphins. After reading many reviews, I chose this tour, which allows participation from age two, and I was really looking forward to it. I woke up early and took all three kids with me. I wanted to create good memories, so I purchased a USB and an SD card in advance as recommended.
However, after boarding the boat and being tossed around in the rough waves for over an hour while searching for dolphins, even our family, who usually doesn't get seasick, started to feel unwell, along with other participants.
We changed our plans and started with free snorkeling time, but as soon as the boat finally stopped, the nausea peaked... Many people felt sick and were resting on the boat.
Even though we felt unwell, we decided to jump into the sea, but the wave conditions were quite severe, making it difficult even for adults to snorkel. It was a challenging task for my husband and me to care for our three children while swimming, and our four-year-old and two-year-old sons were crying. There were only a few crew members in the water to support us, and there were no floatation devices for the kids. Of course, it wasn't a situation where anyone could play on the trampoline or paddleboard; it seemed like no one was having fun. We returned to the boat early, but the seasickness didn't go away, and eventually, our second son got sick. The only one who enjoyed the slide was our eight-year-old son.
Despite purchasing the SD card and USB in advance, I didn't even realize that underwater photos were being taken, as we spent so little time in the water. I regret buying them since we didn't get to see any dolphins. (Moreover, for some reason, I can't open the photos on the USB after returning home.)
Even after returning to the boat, the seasickness lingered, and I felt unwell, not to mention we hardly saw any dolphins or turtles, so I didn't even feel like eating a cheeseburger. There were a few others who were also taking out food. On the way back, there was a hula dance performance, but the mood inside the boat had dropped significantly, and the crew's high spirits felt out of place.
I heard that other tour companies also didn't encounter any dolphins that day, and I understand that it's nature, so it's not 100% guaranteed. However, most of the time was spent traveling, and the sea conditions were terrible, leaving us with hardly any time in the water. Overall, I was left with dissatisfaction regarding the photos and videos. We received a voucher for half-price participation next time, but it's not easy for our family to come to Hawaii again, and I can't justify the cost of over 80,000 yen for that experience.
If participation is allowed from age two, I wish they would consider more accommodations for children. We have participated in various activities as a family before, but this was the most expensive tour with the lowest satisfaction. While our family trip to Hawaii was enjoyable, thinking back on this day makes me sad.
長文になります、すみません。
7/19早朝から子供3人を連れて参加しましたが、残念ながらイルカには会えませんでした。それどころか、その日は台風の影響らしく波がかなりうねっていて本当に辛いツアーになりました。
今回のハワイ旅行のメインとして、泳ぐのが大好きな息子達にイルカと一緒に泳がせてあげたいと思い、口コミもたくさん読んで2歳から参加できるこのツアーを選びものすごく楽しみに、がんばって早起きをして3人連れて行きました。いい思い出を残したいと思い、USBもSDカードもすすめられるがまま事前に購入しました。
しかし、船に乗って荒々しい波に延々一時間以上?揺られながらイルカを探しまわるが現れず、その時点で船酔いしない我が家も、他の参加者も具合が悪そうに…⤵
予定を変更して、先にフリーシュノーケルタイムと、やっと停舶したと同時に気持ち悪さがピークに。。。何人もの方が気持ちが悪くなって船で休んでいました。
我が家も気持ち悪いながらも
せっかくだからと思いきって海に飛び込みましたが、波のうねりがかなりひどく、大人でもシュノーケルが難しい状況なうえに、夫婦で3人の子供達をケアしながら泳ぐのは至 難の技で、4歳と2歳の息子は号泣。それでも海に入ってるクルーはわずかだし、子供へのサポートや浮き具なども特になし。もちろんトランポリンやパドルボートなどで遊べるような状況ではなく、誰も遊んでいなかったようです。早々に船に戻るも船酔いが治らず、とうとう次男は戻してしまいました。唯一8才の息子は滑り台は楽しんでいましたが。
事前にSDカード&USBを購入したのにも関わらず、肝心な水中での写真なんて撮られている自覚もありません、そもそも海に入ってる時間がわずかだったので。イルカに会えないなら買わなければ良かったと思っています。(しかも、帰国してからなぜかUSBの写真が開けない)
船に戻っても船酔いが治らず、気持ちは悪いわイルカにも亀にもろくに会えないわで、チーズバーガーなんてましてや食べる気になりませんでした。同じようにテイクアウトしてる人も、何人かいました。帰りもフラダンスの披露などありましたが、もう船内のテンションは落ちまくり、クルー達の高いテンションは空回り、といった感じでした。
その日は他のツアー会社もどこもイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことで、自然のものなので、100%ではないのは承知済みですが、ほとんどが移動で終わり、さらに海のコンディションは最悪で水中にはほとんど入れず、写真や動画撮影に対しても、全てにおいて不満だけが残りました。次回半額で参加できるバウチャーを、いただきましまが、我が家にとってそんなに簡単にハワイに来られる訳でもありませんし、そもそもあの内容に対しての5人で80000円以上の負担は納得がいきません。
2歳から参加OKとしているなら、もっと子供への配慮を考えてほしいものです。今まで様々なアクティビティに、家族で参加してきましたが、今までで一番高額で 満足度は一番低いツアーでした。今回の家族でのハワイ旅行は楽しかったですが、この日のことを思い出すと悲しくなります。

I participated with my elderly husband's parents. My mother is a good swimmer, but she was worried because of her mobility issues. However, with the support of our guide, Saki, she was able to enjoy the tour until the end.
We were very lucky to encounter dolphins right after we set sail. However, I was surprised that we had to dive from the boat to swim with the dolphins. Because of this, my mother was too scared to enter the water, but we were still able to see the dolphins from the boat. They were very cute, jumping and spinning around. When my husband and I jumped in at Saki's signal, we were able to see a large group of ten dolphins right below us. We were very excited to see the dolphins up close.
I have participated in various dolphin tours overseas, but this was the first time I saw wild dolphins swimming in the ocean, so it was a great experience. We also got to see many turtles.
With Saki's help, my parents were able to get close to see the turtles as well.
I am truly grateful to Saki and all the staff at Dolphin & You for their kindness. It really became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate with my husband.
I believe the photo we took at the end of the tour, where everyone is smiling, shows how enjoyable this tour was. I hope this happiness comes across in the photo I’m posting.
Dolphin & You is the best!
高齢の主人の両親と参加しました。
母は泳ぎが得意ですが足が不自由ということで心配していましたがガイドのサキさんのサポートもあり最後までツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
お目当てのイルカさんには出港後すぐに遭遇出来非常にラッキーでした。
しかしイルカと泳ぐのに船からダイブということには私も驚きました。
その為、母は怖がってしまい海に入ることは出来ませんでしたが、
船上からもイルカが確認出来ました。ジャンプしたり回転したりとても可愛いかったです。
私達夫婦はサキさんの合図で飛び込んだ所、真下で10匹の大軍を見ることが出来ました。
間近でみるイルカにはとても興奮しました、
今まで海外でイルカに関する色々なツアーに参加しましたが
野生のイルカが海の中で泳ぐ姿をみたのは初めてでしたので、良い経験が出来ました。
またたくさんの亀も見ることが出来ました。
亀は両親もサキさんの助けを借りて近くまで見に行くことが出来ました。
サキさんはじめドルフィン&ユーのスタッフ皆さんにはとてもよくしていただき本当に感謝です。本当にとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は夫婦で参加したいと思います。
ツアーの最後で撮った写真が皆笑顔でこのツアーの楽しさがわかると思います。
このハッピーさが伝わるといいなと思い写真投稿します。

I went to Hawaii for my sister's wedding, and since my parents are at an age where snorkeling is tough for them, I participated alone. However, since the instructor was always with the participants, I had a very fulfilling experience even by myself! There were also families with small children, so I think even little ones can have a lot of fun!

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. My husband can't swim at all, but we searched for marine sports that he could enjoy and signed up for this tour. In the end, there were no problems at all!! My husband says it became his most enjoyable memory in Hawaii.
I noticed many reviews mentioned they didn't know where breakfast was, so we ate beforehand. As the reviews indicated, there was no breakfast provided. The only things mentioned were snacks and water.
There was one woman who spoke Japanese, and she explained everything throughout the tour, which made us feel at ease. We went to a sandbar by boat before using the underwater scooter, and we enjoyed paddling on a standing boat! There were two boats, and with four groups of participants, we took turns having fun! Everyone was able to get on easily.
We spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar, just when everyone started to feel a bit bored! It was a really beautiful sandbar, about knee-deep.
And finally, the underwater scooter!! I thought we would have to wear a wetsuit over our swimsuits, but we just got on the scooter in our swimsuits and dove in. At the moment of entering the helmet part of the scooter, you have to close your eyes and dive into the sea, but there is one diver assigned to each participant, so it's okay. When entering the sea from the boat, the diver supports your body, which is reassuring.
Also, if your phone is in a waterproof case, you can take lots of pictures from inside the helmet! I was worried about the water pressure, but there were no issues at all! The operation of the scooter was simple and easy. The scooter had food attached, and when I held the net with the food, many fish came to eat from my hand!
We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The diver took photos and videos for us. It was about $45 for the photos and videos, and it was a bit cheaper for just the photos. We wrote down two email addresses to receive them later. Payment was possible by card, but there was a small fee.
We didn't bring a card and only had about $30, but when we were sent back to the hotel, we had the driver wait while I went to get the money from our room, and that was no problem. They sent the photos the very next day!
I was very satisfied with the many photos taken of my husband and me riding the scooter surrounded by fish!! For snorkeling, we borrowed the equipment and enjoyed it while the next person took their turn on the underwater scooter. Since there was no diver with the snorkeling, it's better for non-swimmers not to do it.
I'll attach some photos, but the underwater scooter photos were taken from my phone!

口コミで朝食はどこにあるのかわからなかったという意見が多数あったので事前に食べてから参加しました。口コミ通り、朝食は用意ありませんでした。
説明されたのは、スナック菓子とお水だけです。
女性の日本語が話せる人が1人いて、ツアー中はずっとその人が説明してくれたので安心しました。
水中スクーターの前にボートでサンドバーに行き、立って漕ぐボートを楽しみました!
そのボートは2つあり、参加者は4組いたので交代交代で楽しみました!みんな簡単に乗れてました。
みんなが少し飽きたなーくらい結構な時間をサンドバーで楽しみました!
凄く綺麗なサンドバーで膝上くらいの高さでした。
そしてついに水中スクーター!!
水着の上にウエットスーツを着るのかと思いましたが、水着のままスクーターに乗り潜りました。
スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は、目をつむり海に潜らなければならないけれど参加者1人に対し1人のダイバーさんが付くので大丈夫です。船から海に入る時もダイバーさんが体を支えてくれるので安心です。
それと携帯は、水が入らないケースにいれていれば
ヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました!
水圧とかで変にならないか不安でしたけど全く問題ありませんでした!
スクーターの操作も単純で簡単。
スクーターには餌が付いてて、その餌の網を自分で握ったら自分の手からたくさんの魚が食べに来ました!
運良く海亀もみれたし、最高でした。
ダイバーさんが写真と動画を撮ってくれました。
写真と動画で、たしか45ドル。写真だけだと少し安かったはずです。
メールアドレスを2つ書いて渡し、後日送ってくれるシステムです。カードでも支払い可能でしたが手数料が少しかかったはずです。
私たちは最低限の30ドル程度とカードも持ってきてなかったんですが、帰りホテルに送ってもらうときに運転手に待っていてもらい、部屋に取りに行き渡したら問題なかったです。
写真は次の日すぐ送ってくれました!
旦那と横に並んでスクーターに乗り、魚に囲まれてる写真をたくさん撮って貰えて大満足でした!!
シュノーケルは私たちが水中スクーターを終え、交代で次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に、勝手に道具を借り楽しむスタイルでした。シュノーケルはダイバーさんは付かないので泳げない人はやらない方がいいです。
写真を載せますが水中スクーターの写真は携帯から撮ったものです\(^o^)/

I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.
Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.
They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.
It was truly a generous experience.
It felt as if they were inviting us.
They showed no signs of fear towards us.
During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.
今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、
楽しみにしていました。朝5時に起き眠い目をこすりながら
ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。
ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。
まさに感動ものでした。
水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね
まさに、大サービスです。
まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。
我々をを怖がる様子もなく。
クルーズ中は陽気なスタッフのハワイアンダンスとハワイアントークで盛り上がり
まさに最高でした。

Fantastic time. The turtles so amazing! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the sail after the snorkel if we would have had extra days I would have definitely done this again!!

Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.

We did this as part of our anniversary week in Oahu and all I can say is if you are "thinking" of doing this, stop thinking and just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and the fact that we got to pet and swim along a sea turtle in the ocean is simply awesome!! The crew was amazing, the water was warm and it's something we'll never forget, the crew made this a very memorable experience.

I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. Personal attention so that I got maximum experience as guides helped us see the turtles when they came around and did everything possible to draw the fish to us. You could tell the crew was experienced and competent.

Our snorkeling adventure was fantastic. There were six of us an no one had ever snorkeled. As a matter of fact, we could not even swim. Our guide Dan was wonderful. He was so patient and instructive. It was so nice to sim with the fish.
Thanks Portia, all you guys did great. Hope we see you again. Dan.

The weather was very nice. We went cruising on a catamaran, and the wind felt really good. After about 30 minutes on board, we arrived at the snorkeling spot and started swimming, where we saw a sea turtle swimming just about a meter away from us. There were also many fish, and the sea was beautiful. There were no other Japanese people besides us...
天気が非常によかったです。カタマランでクルージングしますが、風も非常に気持ちよかったです。乗船後30分くらいでシュノーケルする場所に到着し、泳ぎ始めましたが、普通にウミガメも1mくらいの距離のところで泳いでいたりしました。
魚もたくさんいて、海もきれいでした。日本人は僕ら以外にはいませんでしたが。。。
