It was amazing!! 最高でした！！

Reviewed by: MAYUMI

I participated on August 6th. Last year, I joined a tour with another company, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any dolphins, so this year was a chance for revenge! After reading everyone's reviews, I decided on Aloha Kona Tours. I was worried about whether we could safely go on the tour since a hurricane was approaching, but it turned out to be calm, and the weather was nice, which put me at ease.

Above all, the swim guide Daisuke and Captain Nawata were wonderful people. My daughter, who was scared of snorkeling in deep water, was able to truly enjoy herself thanks to both of them. Following Daisuke and Nawata's instructions, we encountered over 100 dolphins up close! Every time we entered the water, we were able to meet them, and it was incredibly exciting. The blue of the ocean and the cuteness of the dolphins are unforgettable even after returning to Japan! Thank you so much.

We are talking as a family about wanting to join Aloha Kona Tours again next year to meet the dolphins!

8/6に参加しました。昨年他社のツアーに参加しましたが運悪くイルカに出逢う事が出来ず今年こそ！とリベンジでした。皆さんの口コミを見てアロハコナツアーズさんに決めました。ハリケーンが近付いていたので無事にツアーに行けるか心配でしたが、嵐の前の静けさだったのか波も穏やかでお天気も良かったので安心しました。何よりもスイムガイドのダイスケさんとキャプテンの縄田さんのお人柄がとても良くて、足のつかない所でのシュノーケルを怖がっていた娘もお二人のおかげで心より楽しむ事が出来、念願だったイルカちゃん達にもダイスケさん縄田さんの指示通りにするだけで物凄い近さで100頭以上はいたでしょうか？海に入る度に出逢う事が出来て大感激でした。海の蒼さとイルカ達の可愛さが日本に帰国しても忘れられません！本当にありがとうございました。
来年もアロハコナツアーズさんでイルカちゃん達に逢いに参加したいねーと家族で話しています。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

I had a great time! 楽しめました！

Reviewed by: mimi

We participated as a couple with our fourth-grade son. There were no explanations in Japanese, but we were able to borrow prescription masks, and there were no particular issues. The snorkeling point had very clear water, and we were able to see various fish, which our child enjoyed thoroughly for the entire time. The food was delicious, the staff were kind, and the boat was clean, which was great. We went to the designated parking area the day before as a preliminary check, but it was unclear where to park. When we asked the staff, they told us to park in front of the Sheraton Hotel. Since others were also parking there, I think it would be good to confirm this in advance. I recommend this tour.

小学校4年生の男の子と夫婦で参加しました。日本語の説明などはありませんでしたが、度付きのマスクも貸してもらえ、特に問題はありませんでした。シュノーケルポイントもとても透明度の高く、色々な魚を見ることができ、時間一杯子供も楽しみました。食事も美味しく、スタッフも親切で船も清潔でよかったです。下見を兼ねて前日に駐車場に指定されている所に行きましたが、どこに停めてよいか、わかりにくく、スタッフに聞くと、シェラトンホテルの前に停めるように言われました。他の人たちもそこに停めていたので、事前に確認されるといいと思います。お薦めのツアーです。

It was a wonderful time! ☆ 素晴らしい時間でした☆

Reviewed by: Eiko

On August 9th, my family of three, including my 9-year-old son, participated in the dolphin tour, which was the main highlight of our trip. We were worried that the sea might be difficult due to the hurricane's impact, but we were able to participate safely by shifting our schedule by one day.

Our guide, Daisuke, was easy to talk to from the very first impression, and the ride to the location felt like no time at all! Each of his words was heartfelt, making for a truly enriching experience.

It was a miracle that we were able to set sail that day, and on top of that, we encountered a pod of nearly 150-200 dolphins. I was genuinely moved when I saw the lively wild dolphins up close, including their cheerful calls, parents with babies, and playful youngsters. The view of the deep blue sea and the mountains of the Big Island of Hawaii was also incredibly beautiful.

That same night, my son and I participated in the manta ray tour. He eagerly shared how great it was.

I’m really glad we were able to join this tour after various coincidences! I definitely want to come back to the Big Island and this dolphin tour again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

8月9日、9歳の息子を含む家族3人で参加しました。
今回の旅のメインだった、イルカツアー。
ハリケーンの影響で、海は難しいかなと心配しましたが、日程を1日ずらして無事に参加することができました。

ガイドのダイスケさんは、第1印象から話しやすくて、送迎の道中もあっという間！一つ一つの言葉に心がこもっていて、とても濃い素敵な時間でした☆

この日は出航できただけでも奇跡、その上、イルカには150-200頭近くの群れと出逢えました。元気な鳴き声、赤ちゃん連れの親子、じゃれあう子供たち、野生のイルカの生き生きした姿を間近に見られた時は本当に感動しました。
船からの真っ青な海、山を抱いたハワイ島の景色もとてもきれいでした。

同日夜のマンタにも、父子が参加。
こちらも良かったと、息子が一生懸命様子を話してくれました。

いろいろな偶然を経て、今回のツアーに参加できて本当に良かったです！

Reviewed by: NOZA

Hello!
Thank you, Captain Taka and Daisuke, for the wonderful time with the dolphins.

My elderly mother was at the sea for the first time in about 30 years, and everyone, including her, was understandably anxious. Thanks to Daisuke's support, everyone was able to focus on the dolphins with peace of mind. I was especially happy that my mother, who was looking forward to this the most, was the first to meet the dolphins, even before my sister.
I appreciate being able to dive in a safe area without any bull sharks, and I thank Taka for taking the boat out for one last chance.

The digital camera was waterproof up to 12 meters (I mistakenly thought it was only 3 meters like my wristwatch).
Though the footage is not great, I am posting it with gratitude.

こんにちは！
キャプテン　タカさん・ダイスケさん　イルカとの素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

高齢の母は約３０年ぶりの海で、本人はもちろん全員が不安でした。
ダイスケさんが母をサポートしてくれたおかげで、全員が安心してイルカちゃんに集中できました。
一番楽しみにしていた姉より誰よりも早く１番先に母がイルカちゃんに出会えた事が何よりもうれしいことでした。
イタチ鮫の居ない安全な海域でダイブさせていただいたこと、タカさんが最後のチャンスに懸けてボートを出してくださったことありがとうございました。

デジカメは１２ｍ防水でした。（腕時計の３ｍ防水と勘違いしていました。）

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The best fun we had during our trip to Kona.

Reviewed by: From San Diego

I told friend of mine that I was going to be in Kona with my family and he highly recommended that I take Captain cooks dinner cruise. He couldn't remember the actual name of the dinner cruise but with this info I googled it and found it. I was skeptical at first about going on the three hour cruise because we were a huge party of 12 women, children and one man (me), but let me tell you, it was the funnest event of our entire 10 days in Kona. For the most part people seem to be nice and easy-going on the Big Island, but the entire crew of the boat - from the "captain" to the bartender - where the coolest, nicest, and funniest people we met on our entire trip to the Big Island. They really bend over backwards to make you feel at home and they definitely keep you entertained with an interesting historical overview of the Hawaiian Islands given by a Hawaiian storyteller, as well as by a great musical performance given by a talented and recognized young music artist. I highly recommend this dinner cruise for anybody wishing to have a great time in Kona!

Reviewed by: yuko

I was filled with excitement and anxiety since it was nature we were dealing with, but thanks to the strong desire of the captain and the guide to show the participants dolphins, we were able to see many dolphins. On the way back to the port, when we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins, they created another opportunity for us to get back in the water. I was impressed by their dedication to providing a personal experience rather than just going through the motions of their job. The emotions of having met the dolphins are unforgettable... I will definitely come back to see them again!

自然相手なのでワクワクする期待感とともに、不安な気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、船長とガイドさんのツアー参加者にイルカを観せたいという強い気持ちのお陰で、沢山のイルカに会えました。
帰港する途中で、まさかのイルカの群れに遭遇した際に、もう一度海に入る機会を作って下さり、ただ仕事をこなすのでは無く、親身に対応して下さる仕事っぷりに感激しました。
帰国してからもイルカに会えた感動は忘れられません‥。
また必ず会いに行きます‼

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

I was thrilled by the intense rafting! 激しいラフティングに大興奮！

Reviewed by: romshutefan

First, the check-in is not at a store, but in the car. You need to sign a participation agreement (probably stating that you won't complain if you fall into the sea and something happens!). The boat is a large rubber boat with an engine. If you think it won't go very fast, you're mistaken! As we set off, only the back part touched the sea, creating a wheely state. When big waves came, it felt like we were flying. I was clinging to the boat, worried it might flip over.

When we arrived at Kealakekua Bay, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of wild dolphins. Then we went into the sea, which was a beautiful world beyond what I've heard. One important point to note is that you should not step on the coral. After snorkeling, we enjoyed fresh fruits and drinks, and then headed back with a force that felt like we might flip over again.

The beautiful coral reefs and the thrilling rafting to get there made for a truly interesting tour!

まず、受付はお店ではなく、車です。
受付に際し参加同意書（おそらく海に落ちて、どうにかなっても文句言わない！という）にサインが必要です。
ボートは大きなゴムボートにエンジンを付けたもの。
スピードはあまり出ないだろうと甘く見ていたら大間違い！！
出向と同時に後方部分のみが海に着いてウィリー状態。
大きな波が来ると飛んでいる感じ。
ひっくり返らないかひやひやしながら、船にしがみついていました。
ケアラカクア湾に着くとラッキーなことに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇。
続いて海へ、そこは聞きしに勝る美しい世界。
注意点はサンゴに足をつけてはいけない点。
シュノーケリング後はフレッシュなフルーツや飲み物を楽しんだ後、
再びひっくり返るような勢いで帰途に。

美しいサンゴ礁、そこに着くまでのどきどきラフティング。
実に面白いツアーでした！

Reviewed by: Ecoswiss

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, it's perfectly fine to join alone. The staff's attentiveness and care make you feel at ease. I believe I had an experience that was not just like the photos in the guidebook, but even better.

I swam alongside a pod of dolphins, followed the silhouette of a dolphin gracefully arching underwater, and spotted a baby dolphin clinging to its mother. The highlight was when the guide led us to a spot where a dolphin swam towards us, gliding right in front of us. For a moment, the dolphin looked at us, and we were all so excited! We confirmed with each other, "Did we just make eye contact?" At first, I hesitated to join alone because my family is prone to seasickness, but I'm really glad I participated.

泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人参加でも大丈夫。スタッフさんの目配り&気配りがあるので安心です。とにかくガイドブックの写真のような、というよりそれ以上の体験ができたと思います。
イルカの群れと並んで泳いだり、水中深く弧をえがくいるかのシルエットを追ったり、お母さんイルカのお腹にくっついて泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカを見つけたり。中でもガイドさんが引っ張って誘導してくれた先に一匹のイルカがこちらに向かって泳いできて、目と鼻の先をスーッと横切って行った時、一瞬イルカちゃんがキョロっと私たちを見てくれたのには大興奮！「いま、目があったよね？」とお互い気のせいじゃない事を確認したのでした。最初、家族が船酔い体質のため一人で参加するか迷ったけど参加して本当によかったです。

It was a dream-like time! 夢のような時間！

Reviewed by: hisa

The tour was the highlight of our 3-night stay on the Big Island of Hawaii!

Seeing the beautiful sky, ocean, and mountains from the boat offered a different perspective than from land, and it was so soothing. To top it off, we got to swim with dolphins...

It truly felt like a dream!

Both my husband and I were not confident swimmers, and it was our first time swimming in deep water, which made us a bit fearful. However, by the end of the tour, we enjoyed it so much that we wished we could keep swimming. If we have the chance to visit the Big Island again, we definitely want to participate again!

Daisuke, Captain, thank you again!

ハワイ島に3泊した中でも1番の思い出になったツアーでした！

とにかくキレイな空と海、山々を船の上から見ると、陸から見るのとまた違った表情が見えて、それだけでも癒されるのにイルカちゃんと一緒に泳げるなんて……

本当に夢のような時間でした！！

夫婦そろって泳ぎには自信がなく、足がつかない所で泳ぐのは初めてだったので恐怖感があったのですが、
ツアーが終わる頃には、ずっと泳いでたいと思えるほど楽しめました。
今度またハワイ島に行く機会があれば、絶対参加したいと思います！

Playful cruise 遊べるクルーズ

Reviewed by: Suga

I participated in mid-June. The day before, I went to the office to confirm my reservation and check the parking lot for the departure location, but the road from the parking lot to the office was under repair and was in the water. When confirming my reservation at the office, I was informed about a change in the parking lot. Since the communication was in English, it might have been unclear regarding the changed parking lot. The cruise was comfortable. There were no other Japanese people, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing due to the lack of fish, but there were fun activities like a slide to jump into the sea from the cruiser, which was enjoyable. The BBQ was delicious, and we were able to relax and take our time.

6月の中旬に参加しました。
前日、予約確認と出航場所の駐車場確認に事務所まで行くと、駐車場から事務までの道が修理で海の中。事務所で予約確認の際、駐車場の変更を言われました。英語でのやり取りなので電話で予約確認をしていたら、変更された駐車場がわかりづらかったかもしれません。クルーズは快適です。日本人は誰もいませんでしたが、皆、フレンドリーでした。シュノーケリングは残念ながら魚が少なかったので期待はずれでしたが、クルーザから海に飛び込む滑り台など、遊ぶ配慮
があり、面白かったです。BBQも美味しくゆっくり出来ました。

I was able to swim happily with dolphins. イルカと仲良く泳げました

Reviewed by: コノハ

We participated as a family, including my 8-year-old daughter. Our tour guide, Daisuke, took great care of my daughter and ensured she had a wonderful experience swimming with the dolphins. Thanks to him, I was able to focus on swimming with the dolphins without worrying about anything else, even though I’m not a confident swimmer. We encountered a group of 17 dolphins. Each time they surfaced for air, I could see their eye patterns and skin texture incredibly clearly. I was truly moved by how close they swam to us.

Daisuke made sure that all participants were satisfied and allowed us to enjoy swimming with the dolphins, dropping us in the water 5 to 6 times. We had more fun than we imagined, and we even signed up for the night manta tour on the spot. This too was magical, as we got to see sparkling plankton and a large group of mantas up close, making it feel like a spacewalk.

Daisuke and Captain Nawata really made it enjoyable, and the time spent on the boat heading to the points became a wonderful memory.

I definitely want to participate again next time. My daughter was also very satisfied!

8歳の娘を含む家族で参加しました。ツアーガイドのダイスケさんは娘に付きっきりで面倒を見てくれて、娘にもしっかりイルカとの遊泳を体験させてくれました。おかげさまで、泳ぎに自信の無い私も自分の事だけに集中してイルカと泳ぐ事ができました。私達は17頭のイルカの群と遭遇しました。海中から息継ぎの度に海面に上がって来て、目のわまりの模様や、肌の質感が驚くほど鮮明に見えました。手が届くほど近くを泳ぐイルカの姿に、本当に感動しました。
参加メンバーが満足するまでキッチリ、イルカとの遊泳を楽しませてくれて、5〜6回もドロップしました。
想像以上に楽しませていただき、その場で夜のマンタツアーにも申し込みました。こちらも、ライティングされた海中でキラキラ光るプランクトンとホレホレの群れ、大きなマンタの舞いを至近距離で見られ、まるで宇宙遊泳のように幻想的でした。

I can't believe I can swim with dolphins! 本当にイルカと一緒に泳げるなんて！

Reviewed by: なつこ

This time, I participated in the manta tour with Aloha Kona Tours and was so moved that I spontaneously joined the dolphin snorkeling as well.

I had previously participated in a tour to swim with dolphins in Oahu, but I had a bitter experience where the dolphins quickly swam away and I couldn't swim with them at all. I had given up on the idea of swimming with wild dolphins.

So, the experience of encountering dolphins, seeing them up close, and swimming together surpassed even the manta experience... I really got to swim close to the dolphins!

Our guide, Daisuke, diligently searched for points where dolphins were located, and thanks to his efforts, I was able to see many dolphins.

Just watching the dolphins swim close to Daisuke was healing. The dolphins were, of course, not scary at all, but I felt a bit anxious about diving in the deep sea without anything to hold onto, so I borrowed a float, which ended up being a bit of a hindrance.

I think I encountered a total of about 30 to 40 dolphins in the sea. I've heard that on lucky days, you can encounter over 100 dolphins?? I believe we swam in the sea for about 40 minutes.

Also, I was fortunate enough to see a whale. During that time, Daisuke really persevered (laughs) in searching for the whale.

Even after returning to Japan, I couldn't get the dolphins out of my mind. I definitely want to go meet the dolphins again! When I do, I hope to rely on your services again, so thank you in advance!

今回、アロハコナツアーズのマンタの方に参加し、感動しずぎて、急遽イルカシュノーケリングに参加しました。

私は、以前、オアフでイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、イルカはすぐ逃げて全く一緒に泳げないという苦い経験があり、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは無理なんだろうなとあきらめていました。

なので、イルカに出会え、間近で見れ、一緒に泳ぐ感動はマンタを超えました・・・。
本当に近くでイルカと泳げたのですから！

ガイドのダイスケさんは、イルカのいるポイントを丁寧に何度も探してくれ、トライできたので、沢山のイルカを見ることができたと思います。

ダイスケさんに近づいてきて一緒に泳ぐイルカを見てるだけで、癒されました。
イルカは、もちろん全く怖くないですし、深い海に浮き輪等つかまるものがない中、潜るのはちょっと不安で、フロートを借りたのですが、結局邪魔になりました。


おそらく、合計、30～40匹位のイルカと海の中で遭遇できたのでしょうか。ラッキーな日は100匹以上のイルカに遭遇できる日もあるとか？？大体、海の中で泳ぐのは40分位だったと思います。

また、幸運にもクジラを見ることができました。その際も、ダイスケさんはかなりねばって（笑）クジラを探してくれました。

日本に帰ってからも、しばらくイルカが頭から離れませんでした。また、絶対イルカに会いに行きたいです！
その際は、お世話になると思いますので、よろしくお願いします！

All-Star appearance! オールスター登場！

Reviewed by: sakura

The weather was nice, and the water temperature was high, so I had a great time. I was very satisfied to see not only dolphins but also manta rays and whales.

お天気も良く、水温も高かったため、とても楽しかったです。イルカはもちろん、マンタ、クジラも見れ、大満足でした。

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

I felt healed. 癒されました

Reviewed by: イルカ大好き

I participated in the tour with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old sons. Honestly, both of them were a bit anxious about swimming, and I was a little worried before joining the tour. But with our kind and reliable swim guide, Daisuke, I felt reassured! Once we set off, both my kids and I completely relaxed. The boat ride was comfortable, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

We were able to see dolphins right away, and they swam close to us multiple times. The happy dolphins showed off by jumping several times. They swam by us, displaying various expressions as they played together. Hearing the dolphins' sounds was truly moving and gave me goosebumps.

Daisuke not only ensures that the guests have fun but also prioritizes not putting any stress on the dolphins. He knows a lot about dolphins, so while other boat groups seemed to be desperately chasing after them, Daisuke thought about the dolphins' pathways, letting us enter the water quietly, and the dolphins would come close to us.

Do you believe that dolphins and humans can communicate? Daisuke asked me this, and now I truly believe they can. Since then, I've started dreaming about dolphins. I want to visit them again someday. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to be healed, connect with dolphins, or feel a bit anxious about the sea.

I was really lucky to see a humpback whale, which I thought I wouldn't be able to see in April. Thank you so much, Daisuke!

8歳と6歳の息子を連れて参加しました。正直、二人とも泳ぎに不安があり、ツアー参加前はちょっと心配な気持ちもありました。でも、このツアーには、優しくて頼もしいスイムガイドのダイスケさんがいるから大丈夫です！！出発してからは私も子供もすっかりリラックスモードでした。船の乗り心地も良く、船酔いの心配もありませんでした。
イルカにも、すぐに会うことが出来、何度も近くを泳いでくれました。ご機嫌が良いイルカは何度もジャンプを見せてくれました。親子で泳ぐ姿、じゃれあいながら泳ぐ姿、いろんな表情を見せながら私達の近くを通って行きました。イルカの声を聞いた時には鳥肌が立つような感動でした。
ダイスケさんはお客さんを楽しませることはもちろん、イルカに負担を掛けないことも大切にしています。イルカの事を熟知しているので、他のボートのグループはイルカの後を必死に追いかけている感じなのに対し、ダイスケさんはイルカの通り道を考えて私たちを入水させ、静かに待っていると本当にイルカの方から近くを通って行ってくれるんです。
イルカと人は会話できると信じますか？とダイスケさんに聞かれたけれど、今は出来ると心から信じています。あれからイルカの夢を見るようになりました。またいつかイルカちゃん達に会いに行きたいです。癒されたい方、イルカと心を通わせて見たい方、海にちょっと不安がある方にお勧めしたいツアーです。
4月でもう会えないだろうなと思っていたザトウクジラにも会うことが出来て本当にラッキーでした。ダイスケさん、本当にありがとうございました！！

I participated with a group of six for our graduation trip. On the way to the dolphin spot, a whale approached our boat, and everyone was so excited! I watched the video on Facebook. I can't believe the dolphins swam so close to us! Thank you for the amazing tour.

卒業旅行で6人で参加させてもらいました。イルカのスポットに行く途中にクジラが船に接近してきて、みんなで大興奮！Facebookで動画見させて頂きました。イルカもあんな近くを泳いでくれるなんて♡
最高のツアーをありがとうございました。

I participated on my honeymoon. I never expected to swim with so many dolphins!

In addition to the dolphins, there was also a bonus whale watching! The hospitality of Captain and swim guide Daisuke was wonderful, and I had an amazing time. Thank you!

ハネムーンで参加しました。
まさかあんなにたくさんのイルカと泳げるとは思いませんでした！

さらにイルカだけではなく、ホエールウォッチグのおまけつき！
キャプテンとスイムガイドのダイスケさんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Great Food and cruise on a decent boat

Reviewed by: Justin

My girlfriend and I went on this cruise on Valentines Day and were very happy. We very much enjoyed the food and the cruise itself. There was a wonderful woman giving information on the history of the island and a muscian playing great music. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the boat is not ideal for a romantic cruise. Its just kinda a boat, nothing very nice about it. Overall we were satisfied and felt like we had a great valentines for the money we spent.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

I was moved by the crystal-clear sea for the first time. 初めての澄みきった海に感動

Reviewed by: saito

The sea was wonderful, just as described, with such high transparency. Despite being mid-January, the water temperature was not low, and I was able to enjoy it fully. If I had to be picky, I would have liked a bit more variety in the tropical fruits.

こんなに透明度が高いとは、案内の通りの素晴らしい海でした。1月中旬にもかかわらず水温も低くなく存分に楽しめました。欲を言えばトロピカルフルーツにもう少しバリエーションがあれば良かったと思いました。

It was absolutely wonderful; I thoroughly enjoyed the healing experience with the dolphins. 素晴らし過ぎます、イルカの癒しを満喫しました

Reviewed by: ＳＡＴ

It was truly amazing to see them swimming right in front of me. Thanks to Captain Koichiro and Guide Daisuke, who worked together seamlessly to ensure everyone had a great time, I had a wonderful experience. When I fell behind the fast-swimming dolphins, Daisuke pulled me closer underwater. On top of that, I was able to see a whale that I had given up on spotting. I received so much healing power from the gentle creatures of the sea. Thank you very much for this incredibly precious experience.

こんなに目の前を泳いでいるなんて、本当にすごかったです。
キャプテンのこーいちろーさんとガイドのダイスケさんが絶妙の連携で一人一人を楽しませようと最大限にはからってくださったおかげで素晴らしい体験ができました。
泳ぎの速いイルカに遅れて離れてしまうとダイスケさんが水中で手を引いて近くまで連れて行ってくれました。
おまけに見えないとあきらめていたクジラも見ることができました。
海の心優しい生き物たちにたくさんのヒーリングパワーをもらうことができました。
貴重過ぎる経験を本当にありがとうございました。
