サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Translation is not available because the original text is unclear. まぁ〜

Reviewed by: このたん

The sea turtles were adorable. The sea turtles that appeared all over the ocean were amazing. My first snorkeling experience was fun, and I also enjoyed the BBQ-style lunch. However, perhaps due to the season, the shallow areas were deeper than I expected, which was a bit disappointing.

The warm drink service after coming out of the sea was comforting, not just in terms of taste, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable.

ウミガメが可愛かったです。
海のあちこちに現れるウミガメが最高でした。
初めてのシュノーケリング体験も楽しく、お昼のBBQ風のランチも楽しめました。
ただ、時期的なものなのか、浅瀬が思ったよりも深く、イメージと少し違っており、残念でした。

海からあがった後の温かい飲み物サービスは、味云々ではなく、ホッとする事ができ、スタッフさんの人柄も良く、全体的に楽しめました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

We became fish!! お魚になった私達‼︎

Reviewed by: ジュン

The long-awaited Hanauma snorkeling experience was amazing! At 60 years old and not a strong swimmer, I quickly signed up for this tour because I wanted to experience it with my grandchildren. I was worried about the strong sunlight since I could only go in the afternoon, but it turned out to be a cold morning, so the afternoon was the right choice. I received a thorough briefing from Fumio and then headed straight into the sea. At first, I got some seawater in my mouth, but with Fumio's guidance, I was able to see a honu (sea turtle) right away. As I swam with the beautiful schools of white fish, I got used to it, and thanks to the fins, I felt like a mermaid! My son's family was also delighted and said they want to do it again. Thank you very much!

念願のハナウマシュノーケル。最高でした‼️
60代で泳ぎが苦手、でも孫達と一緒にハナウマで体験したいと こちらのツアーを早速申し込みました。午後しかなかったので、日差しが強すぎるか心配でしたが、この日は朝がとても寒かく午後で 正解。丁寧に文緒さんにレクチャーを受け早速海へ。初めは海水が口に入ったりしましたが、文緒さんの誘導で すぐにホヌに会えたり、白い綺麗なお魚の大群達と泳いでいるうちに 慣れてきて フィンのお陰もあって人魚?にでもなったかのようでした 息子家族も またやりたいネと喜んでもらえました。ありがとうございました。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

I was able to see turtles too! カメも見れました!

Reviewed by: あーちゃん

Previously, I participated in this tour during my honeymoon and was moved by the sea turtles, so this time I joined with my two children, making it a family of four. At the sandbar, we played volleyball with the staff and other participants, and a Japanese staff member took some wonderful photos for us, which was a lot of fun. The hamburger we had on the boat was as delicious as rumored. Thank you very much!

以前、新婚旅行で参加してウミガメに感動したので、今回子どもを2人連れて家族4人で参加しました。
サンドバーではスタッフの方や他の参加者さんとバレーボールをしたり、日本人スタッフの方にステキな写真を撮ってもらったりして、とても楽しめました。
船の上で食べたハンバーガーも噂通りとても美味しかったです。

First, we watched the sunset from a boat and then headed to the manta spot. As soon as we got into the water, a manta did a somersault right in front of us. We were able to see so many mantas up close. Our whole family was very satisfied. The staff were also incredibly friendly.

まず、ボートで夕陽を見てからマンタスポットへ行きました。 海に入ったらすぐに間近でマンタが宙返りしてくれました。 凄いたくさんのマンタがすごく近くで見れました。家族みんな大満足です。スタッフさん達も凄く親切でした。。

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>

This is a wonderful tour guided by someone who loves wild dolphins. 野生のイルカのことが大好きなガイドさんが案内してくれるのが、素晴らしいツアーです。

Reviewed by: ドラえもん

The boat was a bit small, but it was agile and great for getting close to the dolphins. There was one male and one female guide, and with the guests included, there were about ten people total, which felt just right. The male guide was Daisuke. After leaving the harbor, I saw Daisuke on the boat, who absolutely loves dolphins and was excited like a child, which made me feel at ease from the start. I had no worries at all. As he said, the dolphins come to you, so this method is enjoyable even for beginners. This way of dolphin swimming is gentle for both the dolphins and people, so if I do dolphin swimming again, I would like to request Daisuke.

Personally, I thought the water temperature might be low, so I borrowed a wetsuit, but after finishing, I realized I should have taken it off to enter the water for diving. However, the dolphins came really close, so the kids could see them up close, and it was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you very much.

P.S. It seemed that some people got seasick during the tour, so I think anyone who isn't confident should definitely take Anelon (there's also a children's version) to enjoy the experience without worrying about seasickness.

ボートは小さめでしたが、機動力もあるし、イルカのそばに近づくにはいいですね。船長、ガイドさんが男性1人、女性1人で、お客さんも入れて全員で10人ぐらいでちょうどいい感じで、その男性ガイドさんがだいすけさんでした。だいすけさんが、港を離れてから、ボート上で、イルカが大好きで、もう、まるで少年のようにワクワクしているのを見て、最初から安心しておまかせできました。全く不安なしでした。イルカは自分から来てくれるから~という通りで、このやりかたなら、初心者でも楽しめますね。このドルフィンスイムのやり方は、イルカにとっても、人にも優しいので、ドルフィンスイムをやるなら、また、だいすけさんにお願いしたいです。
個人的には、水温が低いかもと思い、ウェットスーツをお借りしたですが、潜るためにも、脱いでエントリーすべきだったと、終わったあと、思いました。でも、イルカたちは、ばっちり近くにたくさん来てくれたので、子供も近くで見れて、とても楽しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
P.S.
ツアー中、船酔いした方もいたようなので、自信がある方意外は、アネロン(子供用もあります)を必ず飲んで参加したほうが、船酔いの心配ゼロで楽しめると思いました。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Swim with sea turtles & thrilling sailing 海亀と泳げる&スリリングなセーリング

Reviewed by: you

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!

The tour staff were very kind and had great energy! Since a Japanese person was guiding us, I felt very reassured participating! I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for me, which was disappointing. I want to try again next time!! The hamburgers at lunch were also great because they grilled the patties right there, giving it a BBQ feel, and I was very satisfied!

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

The seasickness was tough, but everything else was amazing! 船酔いはつらかったけどそのほかは最高!

Reviewed by: ゆっころ

After departing from the port, we spent quite a while on the boat. It was a long ride, and the sea wasn't particularly rough, but including the kids, our family was hit hard by seasickness. So, we couldn't enjoy breakfast...

However, once we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got into the water, the seasickness improved, and everyone was thrilled to be in the deep, clear sea.

On the way back, we encountered dolphins, which was super exciting. But then, shortly after that, I felt nauseous again and ended up resting while returning.

The captain was cheerful and lively, making it a lot of fun. I think the hamburgers for lunch would have been really delicious if we hadn't been seasick!

港を出発して結構な時間、船に乗ります。これがなかなか長く、大して海も荒れているわけでもありませんが、子どもたち含め、我が家は船酔いでダウンしました。ですので、朝ごはんは楽しめず。。。
しかし、シュノーケル場所に到着して、海に入ってしまえば、船酔いもよくなり、深いのに透明な海でみんな大喜びしていました。
帰りの船でイルカに遭遇し、大興奮しました。が、またそのあとげろげろになり、寝ながら戻ったという感じです。
船長も陽気、ノリノリでとても楽しく、お昼のハンバーガーも船酔いしていなかったらとてもおいしかったと思います!

There weren't that many mantas, but about two of them swam close by, fluttering around persistently, which was enough for us to enjoy. After we finished watching the mantas, my son got sick, but the guide's response at that time was wonderful, and I am very grateful. Thank you very much.

そんなに多くのマンタがいたわけではないのですが、2匹くらいがしつこいくらい近くをひらひら回転してくれて十分楽しむことができました。
マンタを見終わった後、息子が吐いてしまったのですが、その時のガイドさんの対応も素晴らしく、大変感謝しております。

The helicopter was amazing. ヘリコプター最高でした。

Reviewed by: czm

I was very satisfied, not realizing that the time spent on the helicopter was 2 hours (I thought it would be around 2 hours including orientation). In fact, I was picked up from the hotel at 11:20 and returned before 3:00.

We were able to see the northern and eastern parts of the Big Island (so many waterfalls!), flying over Hilo and all the way to the ocean entry in the southern part. I also got to see the currently erupting crater of Kilauea and the flowing lava in abundance.

ヘリに乗っている時間が2時間とは思わず(オリエンテーション含めて2時間くらいと思ってました)、大満足です。実際11時20分にホテルピックアップでホテルに帰ったのは3時前でした。
ハワイ島北部から東側(滝が多い!)、ヒロ上空を経由して南部のオーシャンエントリーまで、見ることができましたし、キラウエアの現在噴火している火口と現在流れている溶岩流も思う存分見ることができました。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

I would do it again!

Reviewed by: Ricardo L

It is a must! It is worth! I would do it again. At the beginning, I did not know what to expect, it was a friend recommendation and I thought it would be similar to swim with dolphins actitiviy I did before, but no, it is 10 times better! Getting into the water at night and be so close to these gentle giants was an experience that I will never forget. In less than 10 minutes in the water, we had mantas approaching us. They get very close to you thanks to the powerful lights attracting plâncton. I recommend you take your cell phone in a waterproof case and film. Just keep filming uninterruptly because you don’t know when the mantas will show up. Great experience!

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

The charm of Hawaii Island. ハワイ島の魅力

Reviewed by: end

I had a wonderful experience. It was my first time in a helicopter, so I was honestly a bit worried at first, but I found it to be a stable ride. The kids were so comfortable with the vibrations that they even fell asleep... haha. It seems that the number of Japanese guests is still quite low, as we were among the few on that day, but there is a Japanese pilot on staff, so I recommend it even if you're not good at English. The volcano is impressive, but the Waipi'o Valley is simply breathtaking.

素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ヘリコプターは初めてだったので、最初正直心配だったのですが、安定した乗り物だと知りました。子供達は振動が心地よく寝てしまったくらいです…笑日本人客の割合はまだまだ少ないらしく、当日は私達位だったようですが、日本人パイロットの方も在籍されているので、英語が苦手でもお勧めです。火山もですが、とにかくワイピオ渓谷は圧巻です。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I was able to fully enjoy Molokini Island and the sea turtles! モロキニ島もウミガメも堪能できました!

Reviewed by: You

Despite it being my first snorkeling experience, I was able to see several sea turtles, which made me very satisfied! I felt inspired to try snorkeling in various oceans in the future. The guide, Kana, was very kind and attentive, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience even as a beginner. The casual conversations about Maui in Japanese were also very comforting! However, the motion sickness medication I bought at a supermarket in Maui didn't work very well, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to bring stronger medication like Aneron from Japan.

初シュノーケリングにも関わらず念願のウミガメを何匹も見ることができ大満足です!
今後も色んな海でシュノーケリングしてみたいな〜と思えました。
ガイドのkanaさんが懇切丁寧に対応してくださるので、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。
マウイの雑談も日本語でばりばりにしてくださり、心安らぎます!
ただ、マウイのスーパーで買った船酔い(motion sickness)の薬があまり効かなかったので、船酔いに弱い方は日本でアネロン等強めのお薬を持っていった方がよいかもしれません。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

The waves were high... 波が高かった、、、。

Reviewed by: まゆ。

You can choose the tour, but you can't choose the weather. It was a windy day, so the boat was really rocking. Some people were holding their heads and feeling sick (including my son).

According to reviews, it didn't seem like there would be many participants, but on the day we went, I think there were over 50 people on board. The second floor was almost full.

We saw dolphins right after we set off. There were several of them, which was a great start.

It takes about 40-50 minutes to reach the snorkeling point. Once we arrived, we received a safety briefing before heading out to snorkel. The water was clear, and we could see fish and sea urchins. My 4-year-old daughter also put on the fins and goggles we borrowed and swam. The waves were high, so just swimming was quite challenging.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed a waterslide from the boat. It was thrilling but fun.

We had breakfast and lunch on the boat, and the lunch burgers were delicious.

Seeing my son suffering from seasickness and a headache, an American lady said, "Drinking ginger ale will help." However, I'm not sure if that's true.

Anyway, it was tough with the high waves, but it was a very good experience!

ツアーは選べても、天気は選べません。強風の日だったので、ボートがスゴく揺れました。何人かの人が頭を抱え、寝込んでいました。(我が息子もですが。)

口コミでは、そんなに参加者も多くなさそうでしだか、私らが参加した日は、50人以上は乗船していたと思います。二階席もほぼ満席でした。

出発してすぐにイルカは見れました。何頭もいて、幸先良いスタートでした。

シュノーケルポイントまでは、40-50分?乗ります。着いたら安全に関するレクチャーを受けてから、いざシュノーケルに出陣。水は澄んで、魚もウニも見えました。4歳の娘も一丁前に借りた足のフィンとゴーグルを着けて、泳ぎました。波が高かったので、ただ泳ぐのも大変でした。

シュノーケルのあとは、ボートからのウォータースライダー。スリリングだけど、楽しかったです。

朝食もランチもボートで食べましたが、ランチのバーガーは美味しかったです。

船酔いで頭が痛くて仕方なかった息子を見かねて、アメリカンのオバチャマが、"ジンジャエールを飲むと、マシになるよ。"と言っていたものの、定かではありません。

とにかく、波が高くて大変でしたが、とても良い経験が出来ました!

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

I want to go again!! また行きたい‼︎

Reviewed by: ちっぴー

This was our family's fourth trip to Hawaii. We wanted to visit West Oahu, which we hadn't been to before, so we decided to join this tour. On the day of the tour, we were lucky to have just our family, and we were able to talk a lot with our guide, Akima. He shared various tips, such as the delicious food court places at Ala Moana (Lahaina Chicken, Blue Water Shrimp) and recommended buying grass-fed meat at Whole Foods if we wanted to cook for ourselves. We later visited those places and bought the meat, which was really cheap and delicious! Personally, I found it much tastier than Wolfgang's. The tour took us to West Oahu, which isn't often featured in guidebooks, and I believe it's a power spot. Akima's stories about the myths were fascinating and mystical, and just listening to them was very healing for me.

The highlight was snorkeling. At first, the water was murky and visibility was poor, but as we swam further, the water cleared up, and we could see colorful tropical fish. To our surprise, we encountered three sea turtles! We were able to swim alongside them. Akima, our underwater photographer, took pictures of us with the sea turtles and later emailed them to us. My middle school son, who has snorkeled in places like the Great Barrier Reef, Guam, Saipan, and Phuket, said, "This was the best ever! I want to go again!" Thank you, Akima, for the wonderful memories! We look forward to the next time!

今回家族で4回目のハワイ。まだ行ったことのない西オアフに行きたいと思って参加しました。ツアー当日は運良くうちの家族だけで、ガイドのあきまさんともたくさんお話しでき、おいしいアラモアナのフードコートのお店(ラハナチキン、ブルーウォーターシュリンプ)や自炊するならホールフーズでグラスフェッド(牧草だけを食べて育った牛)のお肉を買うといいなど、ツアー以外のことも色々教えて頂き、後日実際お店に行ったり、お肉も買いましたが、本当に安くておいしかったです‼︎(お肉は個人的にはウルフギャン◯よりもずっとおいしい☆)ツアーもガイドブックにはあまり紹介されていない西オアフ、パワースポットであるからだとも思いますが、あきまさんがして下さる神話の話がおもしろく、神秘的で私は見ているだけでとても癒されました。
クライマックスのシュノーケリング、入ってすぐは濁っていて視界が悪かったのですが、泳ぎ進めていくうちに視界もクリアになり、色とりどりの熱帯魚が見れ、さらにはなんと3匹の海亀に遭遇‼︎一緒に泳ぐことができました。水中カメラマンのあきまさんには海亀との写真をいつの間にか撮って頂き、後日メールで送って頂きました。グレートバリアリーフ、グアム、サイパン、プーケットなどの海でもシュノーケリングをしたことがある中学生の息子が「今までで一番良かった‼︎また行きたい‼︎」と言っていました。あきまさん、素敵な思い出をありがとうございます‼︎次回もまたよろしくお願いします☆

Thank you for the review.
The meat was definitely much better than what you would get at a mediocre restaurant, right? The ingredients here are really good. Even the rice tastes great when cooked properly.
You might be praising my son a bit too much, but I’m really happy to hear that. However, please let him know that I would be even happier if you could tell me (the guide) directly next time!
Are you coming back next year?! The year after?! We look forward to seeing you!

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

The wind was strong, so we couldn't go to Molokini Island, but the spot we were taken to instead was absolutely beautiful!

Moreover, we encountered a turtle!
I was very well taken care of by the Japanese instructor, Takako. Thank you very much!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It was chilly, but I enjoyed it. 肌寒かったが、楽しみました

Reviewed by: マー坊

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.

曇り空の中、昼前にサンドバーに着いたが、風もあり、肌寒かった。サンドバーでは、一番浅い場所で、大人の膝下位で、初めてのシュノーケリングに1年生の孫が、挑戦するため、練習しました。その後、深い場所で、熱帯魚や海亀を見て楽しみました。なかなか、良いツアーでした。

The sandbar is in the ocean. サンドバーは海の中

Reviewed by: さくらななこ

It was disappointing that the sandbar was underwater. The water clarity was also not great. Our Japanese guide, Yuki, was cheerful and very pleasant. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and even the kids enjoyed them.

サンドバーが海の中だったのは、残念でした。
海の中も透明度は、イマイチでした。
日本人ガイドのユキさん、明るくて感じがとても良かったです。
ランチのハンバーガーは、子供も美味しいとたへ゛ていました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

Hanauma Bay ハナウマ湾

Reviewed by: ゆうこ

The veteran guide thoroughly taught us how to use the snorkel and swim with fins, making it easy for beginners to participate with confidence. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we encountered fish that only inhabit Hawaii and a variety of colorful fish, which excited both the kids and me. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

ベテランのガイドさんがシュノーケルの使い方やフィンを使っての泳ぎ方などしっかり教えてくれて初心者でも安心して参加できました。あいにくウミガメには会えませんでしたが、ハワイにしか生息していない魚や、色とりどりの魚に会えて子供達も私も大興奮でした。またハワイに来たら参加したいです!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Fantastic

Reviewed by: Montalvo Family

We were a family of 7 visiting Hawaii for the first time in July 2018 and swimming with the Mantas sounded like a dream. We went out and was disappointed when only 2 Mantas showed up but I only saw one. To our surprise the captain announced that he planned on going back out later and anyone who wished to go back out was welcomed to stay onboard. Well needless to say we went back out to the south side of the island and to our amazement we were blessed to not only swim with one but with seven Mantas. The experience was outstanding one I will never forget. The captain and crew was courteous and professional and I highly recommend Ocean Encounters.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

Encountered about 60 dolphins! The passionate guide, Julie, is the best athletic club dolphin middle school!! 約60頭のイルカ先生と遭遇! 熱血ガイドのジュリさんが最高の体育会系イルカ中学!!

Reviewed by: mskn1007

The guide mentioned that it was quite a lucky day, as we quickly discovered a pod of dolphins after we started searching. We encountered dolphins jumping out of the water and several times came across a group of dolphins, seeing about 60 of them (according to the guide)! My family was also deeply moved, making it the best experience. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling surrounded by large sea turtles and fish, feeling like we were in an aquarium. We ended with a hula dance and a group photo.

The guide was a woman named Julie, and she was fantastic. She was very funny, upbeat, and kept us laughing from the explanations in the car to the guidance on the boat. Her strong love for the ocean and dolphins was evident, making her an excellent guide. I think it would be lucky to have Julie as your guide.

One thing to take note of is that, as Julie mentioned herself, this dolphin experience is quite athletic and rigorous. It felt like, "Wait, are we jumping in already?" and the kids were a bit scared, but once we jumped in, everything turned out fine. In the end, we were all super moved, so the rigorous approach ended up being a good thing.

Overall, encountering the dolphins and having the best guide made for an incredibly fortunate tour. I highly recommend it.

ガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりラッキーな日だったようで、探し始めてすぐにイルカ先生の群れを発見。海面をジャンプするイルカに加え、群れで及ぶイルカに何度も遭遇でき、約60頭(ガイドさん曰く)も見ることが出来ました! 家族も感動しきりで最高の体験になりました。 その後は、大きなウミガメや魚に囲まれた水族館にいるようなシュノーケリングを楽しみました。最後は皆でフラダンスと記念撮影で終了。

ジュリさんというガイドさんだったのですが、この女性がまた最高でした。とっても面白く、ノリが良くて、車内の説明から船上でのガイダンスまで笑いっぱなし。また海やイルカへの愛が強く気持ち・情熱が伝わるガイドでとても良かったです。ジュリさんに当たったらラッキーだと思います。 
一点Take Noteしたいのは、ジュリさんも自分で言っていましたが、このイルカ中学、結構体育会系でスパルタです。「え?これでもう飛び込んじゃうの?」という感じで、子供たちもビビッていましたが、いざ飛び込んだら何とかなるもの。結局超感動していたので、このスパルタも結果的には良かったです。
というわけで、イルカとの遭遇も、最高のガイドさんも、恵まれた最高のツアーでした。強くお勧めです。
