Parasailing was so much fun. My mother has limited mobility and is in a wheelchair, but the captain and staff helped her to the boat so she could watch. They were very kind, and I am grateful. Our whole family was able to enjoy it together. I highly recommend it!

We participated in the morning plan on February 2, 2012, and all three of us were very satisfied!! I've been to Hawaii about ten times, but since coming to the Big Island, I've fallen in love with this place and have been coming here for four consecutive years. I usually stay at a condominium in Waikoloa, but this time we also spent two nights in Hilo and were satisfied after seeing the red flames of Kilauea at night before returning to our "home" in Waikoloa.
I usually play around snorkeling in the nearby sea. I was interested in this tour and wanted to go, but I thought it wouldn't be right to go alone while leaving my wife and grandmother behind. However, I reconsidered because:
1. The boat is large and stable.
2. It has clean restrooms.
3. Breakfast, lunch, drinks, and fruit are included.
With these conditions, my grandmother could just enjoy watching from the boat.
I was deeply moved and impressed after participating for the first time. My English is limited to what I learned in middle school, so I was worried. Luckily, there was a young Japanese sister on board, and I asked her to help me if I didn't understand something, but I managed to get by on my own.
Along the way, we saw whales, and just before we arrived at our destination, we were welcomed by a pod of dolphins. The staff and crew were enthusiastic and cool, and their commitment to ensuring each guest had a great time was palpable.
The sea was clear, with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. Most of the guests seemed to be Americans, and everyone, young and old, was lively and friendly. There was no need for words...
Honestly, I wish I understood more English. The beautiful and clean boat eased my grandmother's initial worries, and she even asked, "When are we going again?"
Even without getting in the water, she enjoyed watching everyone play in the beautifully clear coral reef from the boat. The staff filmed the experience, so I quickly purchased the video and watch it from time to time.
My younger brother, who was watching it with me, is retiring this year, and he wants us all to go together as a celebration, so we’ve already made a reservation for February 14, 2013. I’m looking forward to it!
Whether in winter or summer, the water is nice, but it can be cold when you get back on the boat, so I need to remember to bring a large towel or a yacht parka.
The most important thing is to "have fun together." Among the things to bring for this tour, it mentions bringing sunglasses and also an "adventurous spirit." I really love this feeling.
I can't wait to go again!
2012年2月2日のモーニングプランに参加し、3人とも大満足!!
ハワイ旅は10回位ですが、ハワイ島に来てからここが大好きになって4年連続で来ています。いつもワイコロアのコンドミニアムがメインですが、今回はヒロにも2泊して夜のキラウエアの赤い炎も見て満足してからワイコロアの「我が家?」に。
何時もは近くの海でシュノーケルしたりして遊んでいました。私はこのツアーに興味を持って『行きたい』と思っていましたが妻とお婆ちゃんを残して一人で行ってもナー。とあきらめていましたが、
1.この船は大きくて、揺れない。
2.きれいなトイレが付いている。
3.朝食、昼食、飲み物、果物付き。
この条件ならお婆ちゃんは、船の上で見ていればイツカー。
と、初めて参加してみて感激、感動。
私の英語は、中学の義務教育のみで心配、たまたま若い姉妹の日本の方がいらしたので「わからない時は、助けてネ」とアプローチお願いしましたが何とか自力でクリアー出来ました。
途中、鯨も見えて、現場に付く直前にイルカの群れの歓迎です。
スタッフ、クルーのテンションの高さとカッコよさ、そして安全配慮と、お客様を一人一人どうやって楽しましてやろうという気持ちがガンガン伝わって来ます。
海は透明、珊瑚礁と、熱帯魚の群れ。
ほとんどのお客様はアメリカ人~ だと思いますが皆さん老いも若きも元気、元気。とってもフレドリーで楽しい。
言葉、いらない・・・・
本音は「もっと英語がわかればナー」
綺麗な船で清潔なので,・・・・当初、心配していたお婆ちゃん「今度、いつ行くノー」だって。
海に入らなくても、船上から綺麗に澄んだ珊瑚礁で遊んでいる皆を見ていて楽しんでいます。
スタッフがビデオを撮ってくれていたので早速購入して時々見ています。
これを一緒に見ていた弟も、今年定年退職なので記念に皆で行きたいということで、
2013年2月14日また、予約してしまいました。楽しみでーす。
冬でも夏でも、・・・海の中は良いのですが船に上がった時寒いときがあるようなので大きいタオルや、ヨットパーカーなど忘れないように気をつけよう。
一番大切なことは、「皆で思い切り楽しむ」ことかな。
このツアーにも、持って行くものの中にサングラス等と一緒に
【冒険心】と書いてあります。
この気持ち、だーい好きです。

I was honestly nervous because I'm not a good swimmer, but when the dolphins appeared, all of that disappeared. I forgot my fear of the water and found myself swimming smoothly towards the dolphins, which surprised me.
Just hearing their voices is soothing, but having wild dolphins come close to me was truly moving.
Since we were in an area with dolphins, there were some waves, but I felt completely fine because we had a guide with us, and I could swim with a float between my arms. Plus, I got to hear fun stories about dolphins and the ocean, which made me very satisfied.
By chance, on the day I went, I saw three manta rays, and the weather was nice enough to see all the way to Maui, and even Mauna Kea. A miracle happened when a whale appeared, and I got to see its tail perfectly. The excitement on the boat was through the roof, and I was able to create unforgettable memories.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.
泳ぎが苦手なので正直ドキドキしていたのですが
イルカが登場したらそんなことぶっ飛びました。
水が怖い事も忘れて、イルカの方へスイスイ泳いでいて

This was my first time rafting in the ocean, and I was looking forward to experiencing the differences from river rafting. Since it has an engine, it felt completely different, almost like flying over the sea. I think it's suitable for those who want to feel the thrill of speed. However, it might not be ideal for those who are prone to motion sickness.
While on the ride, and especially at the snorkeling points, the staff were very considerate, taking us to various spots where we could see not only small tropical fish but also larger fish like bonito and even dolphins. After snorkeling, they guided us back to the port while showing us various sightseeing spots from the sea, providing detailed explanations about the history and background, making it a tour that was worth more than the price.
One issue was that since it was November, it was a bit cold, and I wasn't used to being on the water, so I had a hard time holding it until we arrived at the port. The tour was planned for four hours, and although I used the restroom before boarding, it actually took about six hours, so I think it's better to limit drinks on board.
Aside from the restroom issue, it was a fantastic and enjoyable tour. Regarding language, I believe that anyone with a basic understanding of English will be able to understand, as the staff used simple language.
海のラフティングは初めてで、川との違いを楽しみに参加しました。
エンジンついてるから川とは全く違ってて、海を飛んでる状態。
スピード感を味わいたい人には向いてると思います。
乗り物酔いしやすい人には向かないかもです。
乗ってる間は勿論ですが、シュノーケルポイントではスタッフの方が気を使ってくれて小さな熱帯魚の見えるポイントでけでなく、大きなカツオなどが見れるポイント、イルカの見えるポイントなど色々場所を変え連れて行ってくれました。
シュノーケリング終了後は港へ帰る前に色々な観光スポットを海から案内してくださって、歴史やら生い立ちやらの詳しい説明をしてくれながら帰ってくれたので金額以上の体験ツアーになりました。
ただ一つの問題は、11月だったのでちょっと寒かったのもありますが、水の上に慣れていないので途中からトイレに行きたくて港に到着するまで我慢するのが大変でした。
4時間の予定でしたので、乗船する前にトイレには行ったのですが、実際かかった時間は6時間程かかりましたので船上での飲み物は控えめにされたほうがいいかと思います。
トイレさえ除けば全く問題なく、そしてとても楽しめるツアーでした。
言葉の問題ですが、ある程度のヒアリングができる人なら簡単な英語ですので理解できると思います。

After reading so many excellent reviews, I was preped for an unmatched underwater adventure. However, instead of going out in a boat to an area where we could see lots of different fish and possibly some sea turtles, we waded out into the bay by the hotel and swam out about 100 yards. The only aquatic life viewed were some very small tropical fishes very much like the ones I see in salt water home aquariums, small star fish and small sea urchins. Again very disappointing as I can see the same thing snorkeling in the bay! I ba not in good faith reccomennd this Hawaiian activiiy. My guess id that you will not print or use my review.

I saw so many beautiful things on the dolphin tour. I was a bit scared because I can't swim, but thanks to Daisuke's help, I was really happy to see swimming dolphins and hear their mysterious voices. I was able to see a whale, which I thought I wouldn't be able to see, and it still feels like a dream.
I feel sorry for the dolphins in aquariums because they often have to adapt to humans, but the wild dolphins are so free and it's wonderful. Daisuke's figure diving deep into the ocean and swimming with the dolphins was very beautiful, and I thought it would be nice if I could swim like that too.
The dolphin tour became the best memory of this trip.

Even though they said there was a 99% chance of seeing wild dolphins, we were unsure if we would actually see them, but we were able to meet so many dolphins, which was truly moving.
Additionally, there were only eight participants, including us, so it was a small group. Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to see them up close!

I participated on the day I arrived on the Big Island. Since my hotel was the Kona Coast Resort, it was just a short walk to the Keauhou Shopping Center where the Sea Paradise office is located. I found it cumbersome to confirm my reservation over the phone, so I went directly to the office to do so. (Photo: Since it was from the hotel, the office was in the building immediately to the right after entering from the lower entrance of the shopping center.) You walk past the Hilton to get to the port. They give you a map, so it's easy to find. As mentioned in the reviews, I rented a wetsuit next to the office. Everyone rented one. It takes just a little over 5 minutes from the port to the location where there is an English explanation. There were no other Japanese people besides my family. It's totally fine if you don't understand English. Each person receives a buoy, and (a large foreign man received two) you tuck it under your arm and enter the sea. As noted in the reviews, the best position is near the light. I absolutely recommend it. Mantas come right away, and their power is astonishing. About three of them circle around so closely that you can almost touch them.
Points:
- Be sure to rent a wetsuit.
- Position yourself near the light.
- While you tuck the buoy under your arm on the raft, when on the raft, hold it with your hands and bring the buoy to your feet to view it horizontally. If it's near your upper body, you may get seasick after about 40 minutes.
If possible, bring a digital camera that can record video; you'll be able to capture amazing footage. You can take beautiful pictures even without a flash. Since the manta's movements are fast, photos may come out blurry. I used a LUMIX FT-20 and captured some impressive videos.
If you're hesitating about whether to participate, I can assure you it will be a wonderful memory.
ハワイ島に到着した日に参加しました。ホテルがコナコーストリゾートだったのでシーパラダイス事務所があるケアホウショッピングセンターまでは歩いてすぐでした。電話で予約再確認をするのも面倒だったので直接事務所に行って予約再確認をしました。(写真:ホテルからだったのでショッピングセンターの下側の入り口から入ってすぐの右側の建物に事務所がありました。)港へはヒルトンの前を通っていきます。地図をくれるのですぐにわかります。書き込みにあるように事務所の隣でウェットスーツを借りました。全員借りていました。港からは5分ちょっとくらいで場所につき英語の説明があります。私たち家族以外は日本人はいませんでした。英語がわからなくても全く大丈夫です。うきうき棒を一人ずつもらい、(太っている外人の男の人は2本もらっていました)脇に挟んで海に入ります。書き込みにあったようにライトの近くがベストポジションです。絶対お勧めです。すぐにマンタがやってきてその迫力にびっくり。3匹くらいがほとんど触れるくらいに何度も旋回してやってきます。
ポイント
ウェットスーツは必ず借りる。
ライトの近くに陣取る。
うきうき棒はいかだまでは脇に挟んでいきますが、いかだでは手でいかだをもってうきうき棒は足の先に持っていき水平になって見ます。上半身にあると40分くらい入っていると波酔いしやすくなります。
できれば動画が撮れるデジカメを持っていくと素晴らしい動画が撮れます。フラッシュなしでもきれいに撮れます。写真はマンタの動きが速いのでぶれてしまいます。LUMIX FT-20で撮りましたが迫力ある動画が撮れました。
どうしようかと迷っている方は是非参加されたら素晴らしい思い出になること間違いありません。

We were really lucky that day, as we saw three manta rays before swimming with the dolphins.

Our guide, Daisuke, worked hard to lead everyone to where the dolphins were, allowing us to see them up close, which was truly moving. The dolphins were also swimming around him playfully.
The weather was great that day, and we could see Maui and Mauna Kea as well. After the tour ended and we were returning to the harbor, one of the guides pointed out a whale, and when we looked in that direction, we saw a humpback whale spouting water and could clearly see its small tail.

The Japanese tour was fully booked, so my family participated in this one. The tour guide spoke English at a relentless speed, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I was very satisfied to see the sunset above the sea of clouds and an unexpectedly beautiful starry sky.
Many of the other participants were middle-aged individuals from the mainland United States, and everyone was very sociable, which made for an interesting experience in that sense.
There were meal options at a mountain lodge along the way, but I think everyone ended up eating chicken. At the top of the mountain, someone felt a bit unwell, but there were oxygen tanks available, so they recovered partway through. Since the travel was only by car, there was no physical activity at all.
During the stargazing, the explanations were thorough, but the cold really hit me. It's best to prepare as much warm clothing as possible. It might have been even better if I had studied the stars in advance. It was my first time seeing so many clear stars.
日本語ツアーが満席だったので家族でこちらに参加しました。
ツアーガイドさんは容赦ないスピードの英語でしたので詳しい説明は理解できませんでしたが、雲海の上の夕日と期待以上の満天の星空をみることができたのでとても満足しました。
他の参加者はアメリカ本土の中年の方が多く、みなさんとても社交的でいろいろ話ができて、そういった意味でもおもしろい体験ができました。
途中の山小屋のようなところでの食事は事前に選択肢がありましたが、結果的にみなチキンを食べていたと思います。
山の上では、少し具合が悪くなった方がいましたが、酸素ボンベが準備してあったので途中から復活していました。車での移動だけなので運動量はまったくなかったです。
天体観測のときは、じっくり説明をしてもらえるので理解できないこともあり寒さが身にしみました。できる限りの防寒具を用意していったほうがよいです。
事前に星の勉強をしていけばもっとよかったかもしれません。あんなにたくさんのはっきりとした星を見たのは初めてです。

I have swum with dolphins many times, but this tour is exceptional. The process of getting to the point by boat is thrilling and feels like a little attraction, unlike a regular boat ride. Since they know the spots where dolphins appear, the boat speeds ahead to drop us off at the point before the dolphins arrive, so even just floating, the dolphins come towards you. Sometimes they get so close that it takes your breath away. Of course, for those who are good swimmers, you can dive in and swim alongside the dolphins!
If you get tired along the way, they lend you noodles, and there are multiple opportunities to dive, so you can enjoy watching everyone swim from the boat or see the dolphins jump, all at your own pace. If there are only one or two chances, you might feel pressured to push yourself even if you're tired...
Because Mr. Nawata is very friendly and knows how to have fun, he tries to accommodate requests as much as possible. If you're going to participate in the future, please feel free to ask questions and make requests actively!
イルカとは何度も泳いだことがありますが、このツアーは格別。ボートでポイントまで行く過程もスピード感があり船とは違ってちょっとしたアトラクション。イルカの現れるポイントを知り尽くしているため、イルカより先に先にとボートを走らせポイントに落としてくれるので、ただ浮かんでいるだけでも、イルカが向かってきます。近すぎて思わず、ドキッとすることも・・。もちろん、泳ぎが得意な人は、ダイブしてイルカと伴走することも!!
途中疲れたらヌードルを貸してくれたり、何度もダイブのチャンスがあるので、ボートの上でみんなが泳ぐのを見たり、イルカがジャンプするのを見たりと、自分のペースで楽しめるのも魅力的。チャンスが1回や2回のところだと、思わずきつくても無理してしまいがちですが・・
とても気さくで、楽しみ方を知っている縄田さんだから、リクエストも出来る限り応えようとしてくれます。是非、これから参加される方は、あれこれ積極的に、質問、リクエストしてみて下さい。

The captain provided precise instructions based on years of experience and intuition, and Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to encounter over 150 dolphins with excellent teamwork! Not only did we get to see them, but they also created bubble rings and swam around me, playing a lot! I received so much energy from this experience! The two staff members were very friendly and reliable, and they responded flexibly and generously, which made me feel very at ease. Next time, I definitely want to bring an underwater camera!
キャプテンが長年の経験と勘に基づく的確な指示をくれて、だいすけさんが近くまで連れてってくれる、抜群の連携で150頭はゆうに超えるイルカと出逢えました!
見れるだけではなくバブルリングを出してくれたり私の周りをぐるぐる回ってくれたりといっぱい遊んでくれました!!!とてもパワーを貰えました!
スタッフの2人はとても気さくで頼り甲斐もあり、とても柔軟に気前よく対応してくれたため、とても安心でした。
次は水中カメラを絶対に持って行きたいと思います!

We had Nate as our tour guide, he did a wonderful job. We learned
about about the Hawaii, Observatories, and stars. He enjoys his job and it shows. Would recommend this tour to those in good health with no lung issues. It was amazing to be at 13,700+ feet.
Star gazing was fun with all the information presented.
Dinner was good. Would recommend this tour.

I was able to see dolphins for the first time on this tour, but I felt a few things were complicated. First, there was almost no explanation on how to use the snorkel and fins, and during the actual event, we didn't have any practice before getting into the dolphin zone from the boat in the deep sea. Additionally, my husband's snorkel was attached the wrong way, causing seawater to flow back into the tube when he put his face in the water, making it very difficult for him to breathe and quite stressful. When we returned to the boat to ask questions, we didn't receive a solid response, so we had to figure out the cause and deal with it ourselves. We had mentioned that it was our first time, and everyone around us was inexperienced as well, so I felt that without a more careful approach, it wouldn't be surprising if an accident occurred someday. With 12 customers to one staff member and the captain, it didn't feel like a small group, and I was disappointed by the lack of attentive service.
Also, we participated without having breakfast, but we didn't receive the light snacks (like snacks) that were mentioned in the tour details; we only got one can of juice to share. Furthermore, at the location where the dolphins were, we didn't see any tropical fish or other marine life. Since it was just deep sea, I thought it would have been better to join another tour that mentioned stopping at a coral reef snorkeling spot on the way back.
While I did get to see the dolphins and had some fun, if I had the chance to go again, I wouldn't sign up for this tour... I would prefer to join a different dolphin tour.
ツアーに参加して始めてイルカを見ることが出来ましたが、何点か複雑に感じました。まず、シュノーケルやフィンの使い方の説明がほとんどと言っていいほどなかった上、本番、深い海で、船からイルカゾーンに降りるまで、一度も練習のようなものもしないということです。また、それだけでなく旦那さんのシュノーケルの筒❓が左右逆に取り付けられており、海に顔をつけると筒から海水が逆流してきて息が出来ずにとても焦りました。船に戻って質問してもあまりしっかりと応じてもらえず、自分たちで原因を考えて対処しました。初めてということは伝えてありましたし、周りの方も経験がない方ばかりだったのに、もう少し丁寧な対応がなければいつか事故が起きても不思議ではないと感じました。お客さん12人に1人のスタッフと船長で、あまり少人数制とも感じませんでしたし、きめ細やかな対応はなく、残念に感じました。
また、朝ごはんも食べずに参加しましたが、ツアー内容に記載されていたような軽食(スナックなど)はもらえず、缶ジュースを二人で一本もらえただけでした。
また、イルカのいる場所では熱帯魚や他の海の生物は見られませんでした。深い海が広がるだけなので、サンゴ礁のシュノーケルスポットに帰りに立ちよってもらえるとあった、別のツアーのほうに参加すれば良かったなと感じました。
イルカは見られましたし、楽しませてもらえましたが、もしもう一度いけるならこのツアーには申し込みません。。。別のイルカツアーで参加したいです。
Thank you for participating in our tour.
We have never exceeded the capacity of 10 guests, so it seems there may have been a counting mistake. However, we sincerely apologize for your dissatisfaction with the tour itself.
While we usually have the opportunity to show tropical fish and coral, on this day, dolphins were swimming in deeper waters, and we were unable to show you the coral, which is unfortunate.
We will continue to make our best efforts to ensure our customers are satisfied. The Big Island of Hawaii is a wonderful place with abundant nature, so please do visit us again. Thank you for your valuable feedback this time.
この度は弊社のツアーにご参加頂き、有難うございました。
弊社ではお客様の定員の10名を越えてご案内したことはございませんので、数え間違えかと思いますが、ツアー自体に関してご満足頂けなかった事に関しましては、大変申し訳なく思っております。
また熱帯魚やサンゴ礁は通常お見せできる事も多いのですが、この日は深い場所でイルカが泳いでいた為、サンゴなどお見せする事ができずにご希望に添えず残念でした。
これからもお客様にご満足頂ける様、最善の努力で精進していく所存でございます。
ハワイ島はたくさんの自然が残る素敵な所ですので、是非またいらしてください。
今回は貴重なご意見有難うございました。

I participated with my mother, who cannot swim. Thanks to the support from the captain and Daisuke, who helped my mother overcome her fear, I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest. Although my mother gave up snorkeling after a little while, she was able to see the dolphins underwater, and she was very satisfied watching the dolphins jump and seeing large groups of dolphins from the boat, while feeling the beautiful sea and breeze.
I saw dolphins playing with jellyfish, and when I thought one had stopped right below me, it created a bubble ring! There were dolphins coming towards us and suddenly appearing from behind... it was a dolphin paradise!
It was a very satisfying half-day, from cruising to swimming. Next time, I want to improve my free diving skills so I can play together with my mother and participate again!
泳げない母と参加しました。恐怖心がある母をキャプテンとダイスケさんがサポートしてくれたおかげで私は思う存分たのしめました。スノーケルは少しで断念した母ですが、水中のイルカもちゃんとみれて、イルカのエガチャンジャンプや多くのイルカの群れを船上でみたり、きれいな海と風を感じでとても満足しておりました。
私は、クラゲと遊ぶイルカをみたり、真下で止まった???とおもったらバブルリングをつくってくれたイルカがいたり。。。向かってくるイルカや背面からいきなり現れるイルカもいたり。。。そこはイルカ天国でした!
クルージングからスイミングまで大満足の半日でした。
今度は素潜りがうまくできるようになっていっしょに遊べるようになってまた参加したいとおもいます!

We participated as a family. The beach nearby was wonderfully beautiful and soothing to the soul. However, I underestimated the situation, and almost no Japanese is spoken on the Big Island. As a result, I could hardly understand the content of the show, and checking the parking lot of the hosting hotel was quite a struggle. If you're not confident in your English, please make sure to check the parking in advance. Even without understanding the language, the dance and music of the show were enjoyable.
家族で参加しました。すぐそばに有るビーチは素晴らしく綺麗で心が癒されました。ですが、私が甘く考えていてハワイ島はほとんど日本語が通じません。のためショーの内容はほとんど分からず、開催ホテルの駐車場を確認するのも一苦労でした。英語に自信がない方は前もって駐車場の確認などして下さい。
言葉が分からなくてもショーのダンスや音楽は楽しかったです。
Thank you for attending the luau show. We have taken your valuable feedback into consideration and will create a guide map on our website. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the show. We hope to see you again soon. With Aloha.
ルアウショーにお越しいただきありがとうございます。
貴重なご意見を受け止め、ご案内地図を私どものHPにて作られていただくことにいたしました。
ショーをお楽しみいただけたこと何よりも嬉しく思います。
また是非おあいできますように。 Alohaを込めて

I participated in a tour on October 22.
That day, the wind was a bit strong, so the small boat jumped quite a bit, which was thrilling and fun, but it took a lot of energy just to hold on. I think it would have been better if we had been taught how to hold onto the boat properly in advance.
Now, regarding the dolphins, I was a bit anxious because we couldn't encounter a pod for a while, but once we did, it was an extraordinary gathering. It seemed to be a baby boom, as we got to swim with many dolphins with their young. Seeing the pod of dolphins in the clear blue sea was mystical and moving. I got a bit seasick halfway through and couldn't get in the water during the latter part, but I was very satisfied to see the dolphins jumping and swimming gracefully on the surface from the boat.
The swim guide, Daisuke, is a self-proclaimed dolphin lover. His sparkling eyes resembled those of the dolphins we encountered in the sea. His thoughtful attention and polite demeanor towards everyone, along with his full-on "I love dolphins and Hawaii" aura, allowed all participants to relax and enjoy a happy time. Thank you so much to the cheerful captain and guide Daisuke!
Depending on the condition of the sea, some people may not be able to fully enjoy it, so I rated it a "4 stars," but I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island.
10/22にツアーに参加しました。
その日は少し風が強かったのでやや小型の船は何度も大きくジャンプし、スリルがあって楽しかったのですが、船に捕まっているだけで体力を使いました。上手なボートへのつかまり方を事前に教えて下さればもっと良かったと思います。
さて、肝心のイルカですが、群れになかなか遭遇できず不安がよぎりましたが、蓋を開けてみればまれに見る大群とのランデブー。ベビーブームらしく沢山の子連れのイルカ達と一緒に泳ぐことができました。青く澄んだ海の中でみるイルカの群れは神秘的で感動しました。途中で波酔いになってしまい後半は海に入ることができませんでしたが、船の上からでもイルカがジャンプしている姿や水面を飛ぶように泳いでいる姿を見られて大変満足しました。
スイムガイドのダイスケさんは自称イルカ好き。
目がキラキラと輝いているところが、海の中で出会ったイルカ達に似ていました。細やかな気配りと、誰にでも丁寧に接する態度、そして「イルカとハワイが大好き」オーラ全開で参加者みんなリラックスできて幸せな時間を過ごしました。
陽気なキャプテンとガイドのダイスケさん、本当にお世話になりました!
海の状態次第では、存分に楽しめない人もいるかも知れないので、総合評価は「☆4つ」にしましたが、ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。

Dear Denden,
I am very sorry that you felt a language barrier. Although this will be in English, our dancers and MC always hope to overcome the language barrier through dance and heart. We will cherish this as an important challenge we want to overcome.
I understand that you came with your family. While there may be changes from day to day, sometimes the musician is the father, the dancer is the daughter, and the receptionist is the mother. We also want to strive to create wonderful memories for your family in Hawaii again.
でんでん様。 言葉の壁を感じさせてしまい、とても残念に思っています。
英語でのご案内にはなりますが、ダンサーもMCもダンスと心で言葉の壁を乗り越えられたらといつも思っております。
乗り越えたい課題として大切にいたします。
ご家族でお越しいただけたとのこと。私達も日によって変更はありますが
ミュージシャンが父、踊っているのがその娘、受付はその母だったりしています。
ご家族でハワイにまた素敵な思い出づくりになれるよう私達も努めたいと思います。
