The captain and staff were both women. They were very kind to us.
There were many dolphins, even more than in Oahu, and we were able to swim with mother and baby dolphins.
There were four participants in total: my family and a woman from Europe or America. It felt very private.
The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was also amazing.
I hope we can preserve this nature forever.
キャプテン・スタッフさん共、女性の方でした。
とても良くして頂きました。
イルカもオアフより沢山いて、親子イルカとも泳ぐことが出来ました。
参加者は、ウチ家族と欧米の女性の方の合わせて4人。プライベート感覚ですね。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルも最高でした。
いつまでもこの自然を保つことが出来ればと思います。

We participated with our elementary school-aged children. My wife and kids were a bit unsure about snorkeling in the open ocean for the first time, but thanks to our Japanese guide Daisuke, the whole family was able to enjoy it. We are very grateful. Although there were no prescription masks for the kids, we were still able to see dolphins without glasses (they were that close). When I asked the kids about their favorite memory in Hawaii, they said it was meeting the dolphins on this tour. We would love to use this service again if we have the opportunity.
小学校の低学年、高学年を連れての参加。妻と子供達は、外洋での初めてのシュノーケルに自信がなかったようですが、日本語ガイドのダイスケさんのおかげで、家族全員が楽しむことができました。感謝しています。子供用の度付きマスクの準備はありませんが、裸眼でもイルカを見ることができました(それだけイルカたちとの距離が近い)。子供達にハワイで一番楽しかった想い出を聞くと、このツアーでイルカと会えたことだそうです。また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

The Japanese guide, Daisuke, who came to pick us up, was very friendly and wonderful, making the bus ride enjoyable from the start. We were really surprised by how many dolphins we encountered right from the beginning. There are many dolphin tours available, but I'm really glad I participated in this one. If you want to swim with dolphins on the Big Island, I definitely recommend this tour. I want to join again, so I will work hard to save money and go back once I can dive.
迎えに来て下さった日本語ガイドのダイスケさんが、とても気さくで素敵な方で、行きのバスから楽しめました。そしてイルカちゃんは、本当にびっくりするくらい初めから、沢山出会えました。
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方は、是非このツアーをおすすめします。私ももう一回参加したいので、頑張ってお金をためて、潜れるようになってからまたいきたいです。

Seeing dozens of dolphins under the blue sky... this tour became a lifelong memory. I would love to participate again if I go to the Big Island.
Even if you're not confident in swimming, you can easily join alone. The members when I participated were a group of three women on a trip, a newlywed couple, a husband and wife, and a solo foreign traveler. Everyone was full of energy, and while we were on the water, they would smile and ask, "Did you see the dolphins? There was a baby dolphin too!" It made me really happy to share the excitement even as a solo traveler.
And the guide was wonderful. They loved dolphins and seemed happier than anyone else on the tour, which made it so much fun to be around. It was truly an enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the guide, the staff, and all the members.
何十頭のイルカと青い空…このツアーは一生の思い出になりました。
ハワイ島に行ったらまた参加したいです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人でも、気軽に参加できます。
私が参加したときのメンバーは女子旅3人組、新婚カップル、ご夫婦、おひとり様外国人でした。
エネルギーのある方ばかりで、海の上では「イルカ見ました?子どものイルカもいましたよね!」と笑顔で話しかけてくださり、ひとりでも感動を共有できることができて、本当に嬉しかったです。
そしてガイドさんが素敵な方です。
イルカが大好きで、誰よりもこのツアーを楽しんでいるのではと思うぐらいハッピーで、一緒にいてとても楽しくなりました。
本当に楽しいツアーです。おすすめです。

I had the chance to meet dolphins for the first time. We sped ahead of a pod of dolphins on a thrilling boat ride! When we jumped into the water at the guide's timing, we got up close to a friendly family of dolphins, and we could even hear their cute voices underwater.
Don't miss the graceful swimming of our guide, Daisuke. He also shares his love for wild dolphins and his own dreams. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking medication before boarding.

The veteran captain carefully considered the habits of the dolphins and the interactions with other boats when deciding on the points, so we were able to swim with the dolphins four times (he even extended one session for those who couldn't see them). I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

They called the pod of dolphins and positioned the boat ahead of them. When I entered the water following their instructions, there were so many dolphins! Sleeping dolphins, dolphins on the move, and I was very lucky to encounter dolphins every time I entered the water. The snorkeling afterward was also fantastic, with many fish to see, and they introduced us to sightseeing spots along the way, allowing us to see places we wouldn't have been able to visit on our own. It was amazing!
イルカの群れの流れを呼んでくれて、船で先回りしてくれます。指示を受けて海に入るとたくさんのイルカが!寝ているイルカ、移動中のイルカ、海に入る度にイルカに会え、非常にラッキーでした。その後のシュノーケリングもたくさんの魚に会え、途中に観光スポットも紹介してもらい、自分では行けないところも見れて最高でした!
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review, Bongo. I'm glad to hear that you were able to encounter many dolphins. We look forward to your next visit.

I took over an hour to get to the Napali Coast and went snorkeling. There were no strong currents, so it was a safe area to play, but there weren't many fish around. The visibility wasn't bad, and there were corals and such, but if you're going snorkeling, it's better to be in a place with more fish. The staff in places like this are very friendly, so even with my limited English, I was fine.
片道一時間以上かけてナパリコーストまで行き、シュノーケル。潮の流れはなく、安心して遊べる水域でしたが、魚もあまりいない所。透明度は悪くなく、珊瑚等もありましたが、シュノーケルするからには魚が居る所がいいですな。 こういうところのスタッフは、まずフレンドリーですので、片言の英語の私でも大丈夫でした。

It was very convenient to walk from the hotel to the meeting place, so there was no time loss. However, the meeting place was vague and there were no specific instructions, so I was quite anxious until the guide arrived. Since it was a small group, there were only four of us from our family, along with the pilot, a female guide, and a female guide-in-training.
We boarded the boat and started looking for dolphins, but the dolphins today were not very friendly, and the groups were small. We jumped off the boat several times after spotting them, but we couldn't meet them easily. The pilot suggested several times, "Let's go towards the pier," but the female guide stubbornly refused, saying, "The visibility is poor over there..." Eventually, since we weren't finding any dolphins, we ended up going towards the pier. There were already many tour boats for foreigners there, and there were plenty of dolphins, with everyone chasing them around. The female guide said, "Please don't chase the dolphins for their sake." When we entered the water, the visibility was actually not much different, and there were many dolphins swimming right below us, occasionally coming towards us! I tried to take photos with the underwater camera I purchased for this day, but I was too flustered to get good shots. The dolphins here were also not very friendly, so it didn't feel like we could swim with them, but we did see many dolphins. I thought if we had come here earlier, we could have swum with the dolphins more leisurely, but I also understand that we don't want to stress the dolphins... It was a complicated feeling.
Not wanting to spend too much time, as we would run out of snorkeling time, we reluctantly got back on the boat and headed to Kealakekua Bay while sightseeing the lava cliffs. The visibility here was truly amazing; it was the clearest sea I had ever seen. I was so absorbed in swimming that time flew by. When called back to the boat, they had prepared fruits and warm tea for us. The grapes and pineapple were very delicious. They also gave us potato chips, and we ate while heading back.
Since I participated with my parents in their 60s and my elementary school son, the small group size (which ended up being a private tour) was very helpful. One disappointing thing was that I had requested prescription masks, but they were not prepared (the wetsuits I requested at the same time were properly provided). At the site, I was shown something like a reservation form (which was different from the form I filled out) and was told, "It's not written here." I thought I might have forgotten to input it, but when I checked after returning, it was properly entered. I believe there was a communication issue between the VELTRA system and the local company. My father, who has poor eyesight, had brought prescription goggles just in case, so it worked out, but he looked very disappointed, saying, "I couldn't see well." I don't think the local staff is at fault, so I hope they ensure proper communication.
集合場所までホテルから歩いて行けるため、時間ロスがなくとても便利でした。ただ、集合場所が曖昧で、特に指定もなかったので、ガイドの方が来てくれるまでドキドキでした。少人数制なので、お客は我々家族4人のみ。あとは操縦士の方と、ガイドの女性と、ガイド見習いの女性1人。
ボートに乗り込み、はじめにイルカを探していきますが、今日のイルカたちはあまりフレンドリーではなく、群れも小さく、何度か見つけてボートから飛び降りますが、なかなか会えず。操縦士の方が、「ピアのほうに行こうよ」と何度か提案するのですが、ガイドの女性が「あっちは透明度が悪いから・・・」と頑なに拒否。でもなかなか見つからないので、結局「ピア」のほうへ。そこにはすでにたくさんの外国人向けのツアーボートがいて、イルカもたくさんいて、みんなで追い回しているような感じ。ガイドの女性が「イルカたちのために、追わないであげてください」と。我々も海に入ると、実際には海の透明度は大して変わらず、真下にたくさんのイルカの群れが泳いでいて、たまにこっちに向かってくる!この日のために購入した水中カメラで撮影を試みるも、焦ってうまく撮れず。ここのイルカたちもあまりフレンドリーではなかったので一緒に泳ぐ、という感じではなかったですが、たくさんのイルカには会えました。もっと早くここに来ていたら、もっとゆっくりイルカと泳げたのになあとも思うけど、イルカたちにストレスをかけたくないのもわかるし。。。複雑な気持ちでした。
あまりゆっくりしているとシュノーケルの時間がなくなってしまうので、後ろ髪引かれながら再度ボートに乗りこみ、溶岩の岸壁などを見学しながらケアラケクア湾へ。ここの透明度は本当にすばらしく、こんなにきれいな海は初めてでした。夢中で泳いでいるとあっという間に時間がたっていました。呼ばれてボートにあがると、フルーツと温かいお茶を用意していてくれました。ブドウとパイナップルがとっても美味しかった。ポテトチップスもくれて、食べながら帰りました。
60代の両親、小学生の息子を連れての参加でしたので、少人数制(結果的には貸し切り)でとても助かりました。
一つ残念だったのは、度つきマスクをリクエストしていたのに、用意されていなかったこと(同時にお願いしたウエットスーツはきちんと用意してありました)。現地では予約表のようなものを見せられて(申し込み時のフォームとはちがう形式のもの)「こちらに書いていない」と言われてしまい、私が入力しわすれたのかと思っていましたが、帰ってきて確認すると、きちんと入力されている。VELTRAのシステムから、現地の会社に伝達がうまくいっていないのだと思います。目の悪い父は念のために度つきゴーグルを持参していたのでなんとかなりましたが「あまり見えなかった」ととても残念そうにしていました。
現地の方は悪くないのではないかと思うので、きちんと伝達を徹底してほしいです。
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We provide the following guidance: "After leaving the Sheraton Hotel, proceed with the parking lot on your right and turn left at the brown stone wall sign for 'Sheraton Hotel' (Kaleiopapa Street). Walk towards the ocean, and our Japanese guide will be waiting for you in the grassy area with public restrooms and benches on your immediate right." I apologize if this was unclear. We will work on improving it.
Dolphins are wild animals, so we cannot predict exactly when and where they will be, but it seems there were many at the pier that day. If you had gone there from the start, you would have certainly had more time to swim with the dolphins. I apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. The pier is often crowded, and I believe our guide wanted to ensure that you had a chance to interact with the dolphins in a less crowded area, but unfortunately, that plan did not work out that day.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Kealakekua Bay. Thank you for choosing our tour to create family memories with your parents in their 60s and your elementary school son. Our boat accommodates up to six guests, allowing you to experience a tour that feels like a private charter.
I also sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused regarding the prescription mask for your father. We did not receive any communication about this from VELTRA, and after this incident, we discussed it with VELTRA to reconfirm the display of prescription masks in the future.
Please feel free to contact us if you plan to visit the Big Island again. Wishing you and your family continued health and happiness.
○○○様、わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。弊社では、「シェラトンホテルの敷地を出て、駐車場を右手に見ながら進行方向左手にある「Sheraton Hotel」の茶色い石壁のサインを左折します(Kaleiopapa Street)。海へ向かって歩き、すぐ右手の公衆トイレやベンチのある芝生エリアで日本語ガイドがお待ちいたしております。」という案内をさせて頂いていますが、分かりにくかったでしょうか。申し訳ありません。改善して参ります。
イルカたちは野生の生き物で飼い馴らされたものではないので、いつどこにいるかは100%分かりませんが、その日はピアに沢山いたようですね。そちらに最初から行っておけば確かにイルカたちと泳ぐ時間はもっとあったことでしょうね。残念な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ありません。ピアは混んでいることが多いので、ガイドはなるべく混んででいないところで○○○様にイルカと触れ合ってもらいたいと思っていたのだと思いますが、その思惑がその日は上手く行かず、申し訳ありませんでした。
ケアラケクア湾の美しさは満喫してもらえたようで、何よりです。60代のご両親と小学生の息子さんとの家族の思い出に弊社のツアーを選んで頂き、ありがとうございました。弊社のボートはお客様は6人までなので、まるでプライベートチャーターのようなツアーを味わって頂けることが醍醐味となっております。
また度付きマスクの件については、お父様に残念な思いをさせてしまったことを大変申し訳なく思っております。弊社としては、VELTRA様からそのような伝達事項は頂いていなかったもので、この件の後VELTRA様と話し合いをし、今後の度つきマスクの表示について再確認をいたしました。
またハワイ島に来られることがありましたら、ご連絡くださいませ。○○○様のご家族のこれからの益々のご健勝をお祈り申し上げます。

We had a wonderful time on the morning snorkel /sail with Holo Holo. They are a great company--we've done this trip 3 times before with different operators, and they were great! I strongly suggest that you take Dramamine before sailing, and also take some with you. Several people got sea sick--the crew is amazing and very kind with those who are queasy. None of our family got sick--4 adults and 3 children, but we all took the motion sickness pills before embarking. The food for breakfast and lunch was plentiful and good--the drinks were flowing freely, and the crew was solicitous to every whim! They were really great with watching for safety in every way. The Na Pali Coast was breathtakingly beautiful (and I've seen it 4 times before--it never gets old!) Our captain took us very close, while crew gave us background history and information that was perfect in keeping us entertained. All in all a perfect day in every way! Thanks to Captain and Crew for making our family trip a big hit!!
You've left us with all the feels! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for your unforgettable review! We couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha

I was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably because I took motion sickness medication. However, I fell while trying to take a picture at the best spot on the Napali Coast due to the rough waves, and I scraped my right knee. The crew provided proper treatment and wrapped it with a bandage. However, since I couldn't speak English, the crew spent most of the time talking to Western girls and mostly ignored the Japanese guests. I believe it would be a wonderful tour if one could speak English.
酔い止めを飲んでいたら快適に航海できました。しかし激しく揺れてナパリコーストの最高の場所で写真を撮ろうとして転倒し、右手膝に擦り傷を負いました。しかしクルーが適切に処置して包帯で巻いてくれました。しかし英語ができないためクルーは欧米のギャルと始終話しっぱなしで日本人はほとんど無視の状態でした。しかし英語ができるなら素晴らしいツアーになると思います。

On the way to Napali, wild dolphins swam alongside our boat, and on the uninhabited island, there were seals napping. We enjoyed not only the breathtaking scenery but also a variety of experiences.
On the return from Niihau Island, it felt like a roller coaster the whole time. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and many people started to feel sick, but the crew's response was incredibly quick and precise, which was impressive! They communicated with us in various ways, and I thought that if I could speak more English, it would have been even more fun!

In Keauhou Bay, I wandered around trying to find the meeting place, but right on time, Captain Taka and guide Kathy arrived with the boat and trailer, and we set off safely. It turned out to be a private tour just for the two of us!
First, we sped off in pursuit of dolphins, and when we spotted them, Taka quickly stopped the boat at the point and we jumped into the sea! If we hesitated even for a moment, we would miss them. We repeated this several times and managed to see some dolphins, but I wasn't able to take good underwater photos... I thought that was just how it would be.
Since it was just the two of us, they asked, "What do you want to do? Shall we move to snorkeling?" I expressed my hope to swim with the dolphins one last time! During that final chance, we saw many dolphins and swam with them, which was incredibly satisfying.
Next, we moved to snorkeling. On the way, we stopped by attractions like the caves and Pele's Rock, and finally arrived at Kealakekua Bay! In the bay with its high visibility, I lost track of time and was completely absorbed in the experience.
Before we knew it, we heard the call to head back! It was a wonderful half-day, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer. Thank you, Taka and Kathy!
ケアウホウベイでは集合場所が分からずウロウロしましたが、時間にはボートを引いた車と共に船長のタカさん、ガイドのキャシーさんが来てくれて無事に出発しました。なんと私たち2人だけの貸切でした❣️
先ずはイルカを追ってボートはひた走り、見つけたらタカさんがポイントで船を止めて、素早く海へ❗️
一瞬モタモタしても遅れます
何回か繰り返し、それなりにはイルカは見れましたが水中写真はうまく撮れず・・・こんなもんかなぁ〜と思っていました。
2人だけなので「どうしますか?シュノーケルに移動しますか?」と聞かれ、最後もう一回イルカと泳ぎたいと希望❣️
ラストチャンスでは、たくさんのイルカを見て、一緒に泳いで大満足でした♪
次はシュノーケルに移動。途中で洞窟やペレの岩など見所に立ち寄りながらケアラケクア湾に到着❗️
透明度の高い湾では時間を忘れて夢中でした♪
そろそろ帰ろうか〜!と声がかかるまであっという間でした。大満足の半日となりました。もう少しいたかった。タカさん、キャシーさんありがとうございました♪

It was an emotional moment as so many dolphins approached us, and in the end, Nankai even showed us a twist jump. I highly recommend it.
I was really tense on the boat, worried about seasickness, but the staff skillfully eased my feelings and lifted my spirits. At first, I struggled to get used to the water and ended up drinking seawater, but with the staff's appropriate advice, I got accustomed to it in the second half, my field of vision expanded, and I became more relaxed. I think anyone can enjoy this experience.
野生とは思えないほど、沢山のイルカが寄ってきてくれ、最後はひねりをいれたジャンプを南海も見せてくれました。感動のひと時でした。お勧めです。
私は金づちの上に、船酔いが心配で、ガチガチだったのですが、スタッフの方が上手に気持ちをほぐし、テンションをあげてくれました。初めは水の中に慣れず、海水を飲んだりと苦戦しましたがスタッフの適切なアドバイスで後半は慣れ、視野も広がり、余裕もでてきました。誰でも楽しめると思います。

The only non-white participants were us? We received a humorous explanation in English from the captain (we were given a written explanation in Japanese beforehand) and set sail! The waves were rough, and the boat was rocking quite a bit. Early on, we had a light snack service with drinks and canapés at the counter. I thought I might feel sick if I ate too much, so I only had a little, but the sparkling wine got me excited. (My husband was the designated driver, so he was just taking photos.) Gradually, the Na Pali Coast revealed itself. It was breathtaking! The waterfalls, the unique shadows of the landscape, and we even went through caves! We enjoyed it all the way to the end (is that Ke'e Beach ahead?). As the sunset began, we headed back. Then a rainbow appeared, and a whale slapped the surface with its tail, while a large pod of dolphins accompanied the boat, jumping occasionally! The sun set over Niihau Island. A nearby foreign gentleman proudly showed us the photos he took of the stunning sunset. We were really lucky! After that, we had some Mexican food before docking. The captain shook hands with each of us as we disembarked. I gave a tip as a thank you for the wonderful experience. Just as it was getting dark and we were about to head home, it started pouring rain! I didn’t know how to use the navigation system! I couldn’t see the signs! I got lost and felt like a stranger in the woods! Somehow, I managed to get back, and it turned out to be an adventurous day until the very end. This was the only time we got caught in the rain on the often rainy Kauai Island. (laughs)
参加者は私達以外はすべて白人?船長の英語でジョークの効いた説明(事前に日本語で内容が書かれた説明書を貰う)を受け、出港!波が荒く、揺れもなかなか。早々にカウンターで飲み物やカナッペなどの軽食サービス。でも食べたら気持ち悪くなるかもと思いちょっとだけ食べ、スパークリングワインで、わくわく気分。(主人はドライバーなのでカメラ小僧に徹してました)徐々にその姿を見せるナ・パリコースト。これよこれ!!というほどに圧巻!滝や陰影のあるあの独特の景観、そして洞窟もくぐる!先の先まで(もうこの先はKeビーチ?)堪能し、サンセットが始まる頃に復路へ。すると虹がかかり、クジラがしっぽで水面を叩くは、周りにはイルカの大群が船に伴送し、時々ジャンプ!ニイハウ島に沈む太陽。素晴らしいサンセットに近くの外人の御主人が撮った写真を自慢げに見せてくれました。本当にラッキー!でメキシカン料理を食べ寄港。船長が一人一人と握手してお見送り。満足のお礼にチップを渡し下船。さー暗くなって来たので帰ろうとしたらどしゃぶりの雨!、ナビ使い方分からず!標識も見えない!で、道に迷い、森の中でストレンジャー!どうにか帰ることが出来、最後までアドベンチャーの一日でした。雨の多いカウアイ島で雨に降られたのは、この時だけでした。(笑)
私たちは、あなたが冒険に「はい」と言うことを楽しんでくれたことを知って、これ以上幸せなことはありません。そして、次回の訪問を楽しみにしています!マハロとアロハ。
We couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed saying yes to adventure and look forward to your next visit! Mahalo and Aloha

1st time to Hawaii and was a little disappointed had to cancel our whale watching trip the 1st time but was able to reschedule before we left. We saw one whale but wasn't fast enough to get a picture. Just saw a little bit of the hump and tail. But we had fun while we could.

Daisuke, who is very friendly, will take you along. He loves dolphins and seems to really connect with them, and he knows all the best spots for dolphin watching. However, as we went by boat to the viewing area and floated around wearing life jackets, I started to feel a bit seasick and couldn't dive in completely. That was the only disappointment. I'll make sure to prepare better next time! 😊
とてもフレンドリーなだいすけさんが連れて行ってくれます。いるかのことが大好きで本当に通じ合っているかのようなだいすけさんはイルカポイントもばっちりです。ただ、見れるところまで船でいってぷかぷかライフジャケットを着て揺られているとだんだん船酔いしてしまい、全部もぐれることができませんでした。それだけが残念。また体調整えていくぞ^^

After we set sail, I thought it was strange that we were heading south, and we kept drifting further away from the Napali Coast. It seems that the waves were too high, and they changed the destination. I was really looking forward to it, so it's a disappointing outcome. I believe there was probably an announcement from the captain before we set off, but I couldn't understand any of the English. At least one small consolation is that I was able to see a whale in the distance.
出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。
私たちはあなたをお迎えできたことをとても嬉しく思っており、改善できる点についての率直なコメントと、それがあなたの全体的な体験にどのように影響したかについて感謝したいと思います。将来またお会いできることを願っており、すべての期待を超えることができるよう努めます!またお会いするまで…マハロとアロハ。
We are so glad to have had you aboard and want to thank you for your honest comments on what you feel can be improved upon and how it impacted your overall experience. We hope to see you in the future and exceed all expectations! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

We had a great time out with a fabulous, fun and friendly crew. We loved being on this particular boat. You can stand really close to the edge or laze out in the middle over the netting. Oh and the whales were entertaining too. We even saw one breech! Will definitely do this again.

We had a fantastic time. Ian, Jeremy and Kama did a wonderful job and took great care of us. The scenery was amazing, and they filled us in on some history of the area. We even got to see some whales breach, accompanied by spinner Dolphins!. Great trip and would recommend to anyone. Holo Holo did a first class job!
That is awesome! We love hearing good reviews about our team and company. I am happy you had an excellent time. We look forward to seeing you again!

"I was told during the trip that 'the waves were strong, and it might actually be canceled,' and I was wondering what would happen... but it turned out to be an even more enjoyable swimming experience than I imagined. Many dolphins stayed around us, and during the first session, we played together for over an hour after jumping in. It was so much fun that I couldn't even find the right moment to get back on the boat, and the captain had to call us for a break... But we jumped back in right away. Since the dolphins didn't leave, we were able to swim freely as well. There’s no other sea where you can swim with wild dolphins like this. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"
「うねりがあって、本当は中止になるかもしれませんでした」と移動中聞かされ、
どうなることやら・・と思っていましたが想像以上の楽しいスイミングになりました。
多くのイルカが私たちの周りから去ることはなく、一回目は飛び込んでから一時間以上一緒に
遊んでくれたのです。あまりにも楽しくて、ボートに上がるタイミングもつかめず、
キャプテンが呼んでやっと休憩・・
でも、またすぐに飛び込みました。イルカたちが離れなかってため、自由に私たちも
泳がせていただきました。野生のイルカとこんなに泳げる海はありませんね。
また、是非参加したいと思います。感動をありがとうございました!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review, Unashi. I'm glad to hear that you were able to see many dolphins. Our boat accommodates up to six guests, allowing you to enjoy a tour that feels like a private charter. As you mentioned, we hope to preserve this nature for the future and ensure that it can maintain itself without interference.
うなし~様、わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。沢山のイルカに会えたようで良かったです。弊社のボートはお客様は6人までなので、まるでプライベートチャーターのようなツアーを味わって頂けることが醍醐味となっております。そして、うなし~様が書かれているように、いつまでもこの自然を保っていけるように、または自然が自らを保つ邪魔をしないようにしたいですね。
