シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>

It's unimaginable in Japan. 日本では考えられない

Reviewed by: YOSHI

I participated in the "Dolphin Encounter" with my 4-year-old child. We had three types of interactions: kissing the dolphin mouth-to-mouth, the dolphin kissing our cheeks, and shaking hands with the dolphin. We were also able to stroke the dolphin's body and feed it directly from our hands.

Before participating in this attraction, I was concerned that my child might be scared of the dolphins, so we experienced a dolphin touch attraction at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise first. However, in this program, we entered the same pool as the dolphins, which brought us incredibly close to them and allowed for frequent interactions, making it incomparable to similar attractions in Japan.

I observed other programs where participants could swim while holding onto the dolphins or be pushed by them to swim at incredible speeds, and even do things similar to a dolphin show. I definitely want my child to experience this again when they are older.

We participated in the program from 1:00 PM, and by 2:00 PM we had finished changing and were supposed to explore the park until the bus departure time at 5:00 PM. However, all the park's programs ended by 4:00 PM, and by around 4:30 PM, we were asked to leave the park, so we had to wait outside for about 30 minutes with nothing to do until the bus arrived, which was disappointing.

子供(4歳)と「ドルフィン・エンカウンター」に参加しました。
イルカの口と口でキス、イルカがほっぺにキス、イルカと握手の3パターンの触れ合いができ、イルカの体を撫でたり餌を直接口に入れたりすることもできました。
このアトラクションに参加するにあたり、子供がイルカを怖がるかと思い、横浜八景島シーパラダイスでイルカにタッチできるアトラクションを体験させてから参加しましたが、ここのプログラムでは、イルカと同じプールに入って行うため、イルカとの距離がものすごく近く、触れ合える頻度も多いので、日本国内の同類のアトラクションとは比べ物になりません。
他のもっとイルカと遊べるプログラムを見学しましたが、イルカにつかまって泳いだりイルカに押してもらって、ものすごいスピードで泳いだり、イルカショーのようなことまでできるので、子供が大きくなったらぜひまた体験させたいと思いました。
13:00~のプログラムに参加したのですが、14:00には着替えも終わりバスの出発時間の17:00まで園内を散策して時間を待つことになっていましたが、園の各プログラムの時間が16:00までで終了してしまい、16:30頃には、園外に出されてしまったので、バスが来るまでの30分ぐらいは何も無い園外でバスを待たなければならなかったことが残念でした。

I met a dolphin at Hashinaga! はしながイルカに会えた❗️

Reviewed by: ヨッシー

Departure before sunrise to West Oahu. The scenery was different from Waikiki and had its own charm! I was able to see the dolphins swimming directly below me on the second try! Unfortunately, I used a 2mm wetsuit for warmth, but it was still cold.

西オアフまで、日の出前の出発。初めて見る景色もWaikikiとは違った風情!イルカには、2回目のトライで真下に泳ぐ姿が見られました!残念だったのは、寒さ対策で、2mmのタッパーを使いましたが、寒かったです。

We look forward to your participation again, as there are manta tours on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu.

The live guitar performance was amazing! 生ギター演奏最高!

Reviewed by: naosan108

I made a reservation on December 27, 2017, but it was changed to the next day due to bad weather. The change was smooth. On the 28th, the weather improved, and I was able to see many whales. My mother, who needs assistance walking, did not go up to the deck, but we were able to see plenty of whales from inside the boat. For lunch, it was a do-it-yourself burger sandwich, which was nice. There were also fruits and cookies available. The guitar player on board was exceptionally talented. Personally, I thought he resembled Kuwaman from Rats & Star (laughs). Compared to the Star of Honolulu, this is a smaller boat, giving it a homey feel, and the captain's gentlemanly demeanor was wonderful. I am very satisfied.

2017,12,27で申し込みしましたが、悪天候のため翌日に変更。変更もスムースでした。28日はお天気も回復した、たくさんクジラが見れました。歩行に補助が必要な母はデッキにあがることはありませんでしたが、船内でも十分クジラをみることができました。ランチはいわゆるバーガーサンドを自分ですきな具合でつくるって感じですね。フルーツやクッキーなどもありました。なんといっても船内にいたギター演奏者のうまさといったら格別でした。個人的感想ですが、元ラッツアンドスターのくわまんに似ていました(笑)スターオブホノルル号にくらべて小さな船ですので、アットホームな感じで船長さんの紳士ぶりも素敵。大変満足です。

I couldn't see the second try either. 二回トライも見れませんでした

Reviewed by: 裕ママ

I tried on January 2nd in the morning and January 3rd in the afternoon, but I couldn't see anything at all; it was just a cruise. It would have been nice if they could have taken us to spots where we could see dolphins or turtles when we couldn't see whales, but there was nothing at all.

It was tough as a parent to see my 7-year-old's disappointment. I think it would be good to have announcements about the likelihood of sightings and explanations of the spots, but they spoke optimistically, saying that it’s unpredictable, which was very disappointing.

1/2午前、1/3午後にトライしましたが、全く見れずに、ただのクルージングでした。クジラが見れないときは、イルカや亀など見れるスポットに連れていってくれるとかあれば良いのですが、全くなく。
GPSで探してるわけでもなく、7歳の子のガッカリを見ることになり、大変、親として辛かったです。
見える可能性の公表や、スポットの説明などがあると良いと思いますが、予測できないんだよ〜〜と楽観的に話されてて、とても、残念でした。

Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Absolutely sensational experience

Reviewed by: Trish Foxall

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

I couldn't see any whales. クジラは見れませんでした

Reviewed by: まいこ

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales. The day before my participation, there was record heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but fortunately, we were blessed with good weather. I decided to enjoy the cruise around Waikiki instead of focusing on whale watching.

I think the cruise duration was about an hour and a half. If whales can be seen from that distance, it seems they come quite close to the Waikiki area.

I signed up for a course without breakfast, but I thought at least drinks would be provided, so it might be a good idea to bring water or bottled drinks.

Also, I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can get a ticket for the next cruise, but I didn't hear anything about that. Where should I inquire about this?

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでした。参加前々日が記録的な大雨だったので、天気が心配でしたが、幸いに好天に恵まれ、クジラウォッチングではなくクルーズと割り切ることにして、ワイキキ周辺を楽しみました。
クルーズ乗船時間は賞味1時間半程度かと思います。あれくらいの距離の移動でクジラが見られるのでしたら、ワイキキ周辺近くまで近づいてくるのだなと思いました。

朝食なしのコースで申し込みましたが、飲み物くらいは出されると思っていたので、お水やペットボトルのドリンクを持ち込んだ方がいいかもしれません。

それから、クジラを見られなかったときの次回乗船券をいただけるということでしたが、そういったお話しはなく、これはどこで聞いたらいいのでしょう?

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

We saw turtles...(^.^)

Reviewed by: C.L.

Very friendly staff. Check in place is walking distance from my hotel. Since I do get sea sick, I took motion sickness pill an hour before and I didn't eat until it's time to go back to Waikiki beach. Therefore, providing snacks only without meals is perfect for me. They have a guide to swim with us and find turtles and other sea life for us. Our guide even dived to retrieve GoPro for a girl in our group. After snorkeling, they rises their sail and took us to see whales. My 2 teenage boys really enjoyed the activity the whole time.

The mark on the map for the meeting place is incorrect. 現地集合場所の地図の印が間違っている

Reviewed by: Hinata

I didn't like that it took a long time to be picked up by a shared vehicle, so I chose the meet-up plan. I went to the location indicated on the map, which was the center of Aloha Marketplace, but there was no ticket center. I tried calling the local phone number, but it didn't connect, and time was running out, causing me to panic. In the end, I asked a crew member from another boat, who told me that there was a ticket booth next to the boat I was supposed to board, and I barely made it in time. I think the explanation was insufficient. I would like the meet-up location to be accurately provided. I couldn't see any whales, which was the worst part.

混載車での送迎で時間がかかるのが嫌なので現地集合プランを選択しました。現地集合の場所はこちらと地図に示されていたアロハマーケットプレイスの中心にへ行きましたがチケットサンターがありません。現地電話番号に電話をしても繋がらず時間も迫りあたふた。結局、別の船の乗務員さんに聞いて乗る船の横にチケットブースがあると教えてもらいギリギリ間に合いましたが説明不足だと思います。現地集合の場所を正確に載せてもらいたいです。くじらも見えず最悪でした。

When I boarded the boat, I got completely soaked up to my knees. I was able to see whales quite close. I even saw them jump high enough to see their bellies. I'm happy to have achieved one of my main goals for going to Maui. The snacks were just small sandwiches.

船に乗り込むとき、膝の上までバッチリ濡れました。鯨はかなり近い所で見れました。おなかが見えるくらいのジャンプも見れました。マウイに行った大きな目的の一つが達成できて嬉しい。軽食というのは、小さなサンドイッチ程度。

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き二人組

Two years ago, I participated in a program at a junior high school and swam with dolphins. I wanted to experience that happiness again, so I joined this time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any dolphins, but I was moved to see whales and turtles. I even got to see the spouts of several whales from a distance! And as expected from a university, Mr. Takao's passionate lecture and the meaningful movements in the dance were rich in content, conveying a love for Hawaii that captivated me. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again! (*^^*)

2年前に中学の方で参加しイルカと泳ぎました。その時の幸せ感を味わいたく今回参加させていただきました。残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけれど、クジラや亀に会えて感動しました。少し遠くですがクジラの潮吹きもみられました。それも何頭も…!そしてさすが大学、Mr.Takaoの熱のこもった講義?や、ひとうひとつの動作に意味を感じるダンス等も内容が濃く、Hawaii愛が伝わり聴きいってしまいました。ありがとうございました。また、是非参加させていただきます(*^^*)

The guide who showed us around was enjoyable and great. We were able to see a sea turtle, even if just a little, and snorkeling was fun. Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I felt safe participating. We went as a family, but my kindergarten-aged grandchild was shivering and crying because of the low temperature. I think it's important to choose the right season for small children.

案内してくださったガイドの方が楽しくてよかったです。ウミガメは少しだけですが見えたし、シュノーケリングも楽しく、泳ぎが得意ではない私も安心して参加できました。家族で行きましたが、幼稚園児の孫は気温が低く、寒さに震えて泣いてしまいました。小さな子どもには季節を選ぶ必要があると思いました。

【冬季限定】ホエールウオッチングクルーズ <2時間/ラハイナ港発/英語ガイド> byエクスプローラー 1号、2号

I saw it!! 見えました!!

Reviewed by: sato

It was right at the beginning of the December season, so I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything, but that morning, while looking at the ocean from my hotel room, I spotted a spout in the distance. I thought I might be lucky today and boarded the boat with that expectation. At first, I could only see the spouts from afar, but I was able to see whales on both the starboard and port sides.

There was one breach, but it happened so suddenly that I couldn't capture it in a photo; it was truly moving. In the latter half, we moved the boat to show us a baby whale. The passengers were all Westerners, with only two of us being Asian. My English is not great, but I chose this small boat because I wanted to experience it. It was a nimble boat, which made it interesting, though it might be dangerous for small children.

However, during check-in, the attitude of the woman at the reception was not great. Even though the voucher clearly stated the time, name, and the number of the reception hut, she returned the voucher saying, "This is not the place. Go to the hut three over." When I showed the voucher to the man at that hut three over, he kindly told me that this was not the right place and even accompanied me back to the first hut.

Even when that man said this was the right place, the woman's attitude was arrogant; she didn't smile and just handed me the boarding number. It was disappointing to see such an attitude, possibly because we were not English-speaking customers.

Additionally, when disembarking, a female crew member was smiling and shaking hands with other passengers, but when my husband extended his hand to express his gratitude, she pulled back.

I didn't feel this way on the Big Island, but on Maui, I had the impression that there was a certain strictness towards Japanese people, aside from this incident.

12月シーズン始まってすぐでしたので見れるか不安でしたが、当日の朝ホテルの部屋から海を見ていると。遠くに潮吹きが見えました。
これは今日はラッキーかもと期待しての乗船。最初は遠くで潮を吹いている様子でしたが、右舷、左舷どちら側でもクジラを見ることができました。
 ブリーチは一度だけ、突然だったので写真におさめることはできませんでしたが、感動ものです・
後半は、船を移動して子どもくじらを見せてくれました。
乗客は、欧米人のみ。東洋人は、当方2人でした。英語はさっぱりですが、なん小さい船にのりたかったので選びました。
小回りがきく船ですので、おもしろかったです。小さなお子さんは危ないかも。
ただ、チェックインの際、受付の女性の態度がいまいちでした。
バウチャーには、しっかり時間、名前、そして受付小屋の番号も記載されているのに、「ここと違う。三つむこうの小屋へ」とバウチャーを返され、その三つむこうの小屋の受付のおじさんに、バウチャーを見せると、ここではないよと親切に言ってくれ、しかもいっしょに最初の小屋についてきてくれました。
 その人にこれはここと言われても、女性の態度は横柄で、にこりともせず、乗船番号札をわたしてくれました。
 英語圏の客でないのが気にくわないのか、残念な態度でした。

そして、もうひとつ、下船の際、クルーの女性が、他の乗客に笑顔で握手していたので、主人が感謝の言葉を言いながら手をさしだすとひっこめられました。

ハワイ島では感じなかったのですが、マウイ島では、この時以外にも日本人に対してきびしいかな

I encountered dolphins and whales!! イルカやクジラと出会えました!!

Reviewed by: あんぱん

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon! We decided to join this tour because we wanted to see dolphins in the beautiful ocean. The day before, there was heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear skies. We took an early morning bus to the port, and when we boarded the boat, the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff maintained a cheerful atmosphere and treated us with care from start to finish. We traveled by boat for about 45 minutes, and during that time, we were able to see a whale spouting! (By the way, on the way back, we also saw its tail.)

As for the dolphins, I was a bit anxious that we might not encounter them since we were dealing with nature, but we were able to see them underwater! (Interestingly, it seems that there were no sightings for the three days leading up to our participation.) Although we didn't see them up close like in an aquarium, I was moved to encounter wild dolphins! After that, we split into activities and snorkeling. I experienced snorkeling, and I was able to see many fish up close as well. On the way back, we had a fun time dancing hula with the staff. It became a wonderful memory of our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon!

今回ハネムーンで初めてハワイにやってきました!綺麗な海でイルカがみたいということでこのツアーへの参加を決めました。前日は大雨で果たして天気は大丈夫かなと心配しましたが快晴でした。早朝バスに乗って港へ着き、船に乗船するとスタッフが明るく迎えてくれました。スタッフの皆さんは最初から最後まで明るい雰囲気で丁寧にもてなしてくれます。45分くらい船で移動しましたがその途中でクジラの潮吹きもみるとこができました!(ちなみに帰りは尾びれもみることができました)
そして肝心のイルカですが、自然が相手なので出会えないかもと不安もありましたが、水中でも見ることできました!(ちなみに参加日までの3日間は出会えなかったみたいです)水族館みたいに近距離でみれたわけではありませんが野生のイルカに出会えたのには感動しました!その後はアクティビティとシュノーケルに分かれました。シュノーケルを体験しましたがこちらもたくさんの魚を真近で見ることができました。帰りにはスタッフさんとフラで盛り上がったりと楽しいひと時でした。たった一度のハネムーンの良い思い出になりました!

Aloha!! Anpan-san,

Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very pleased that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.

Mahalo!!
Dolphin Office

Aloha!! あんぱん様

この度は名門イルカ大学のツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
日本では中々経験できない体験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
ハワイ島にはオアフ島にはないマンタツアーなどもございますので、またのご参加を心待ちにしております。

While we only saw one manta, she did come up close, which was an amazing experience.

ホエールウォッチ マジェスティック号 横揺れが少ない最新テクノロジー採用の次世代クルーズ船<アロハタワー発/12/26~3/31>

Full of impact. 迫力満点

Reviewed by: ユウダイ

It was incredibly powerful. A large whale spouted water right nearby, and there were cheers. I was lucky to spot it so quickly. I think it would be amazing to see the whales up close. The boat is large, but if you're prone to seasickness, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

凄い迫力でした。大きなクジラがすぐ近くで潮を噴き歓声があがっていました。
すぐに発見できラッキーでした。
もっと間近でクジラを見れたらすごいと思います。
船は大きいですが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行くと良いと思います。

  • 美味しいランチ

I participated on my honeymoon. ハネムーンで参加しました

Reviewed by: きょう

I participated in the tour hoping to see whales, as I signed up during a time when other companies had not yet started their whale watching. There was an announcement that a dorsal fin was spotted! However, it did not appear again, and I was unable to see it in person. I did spot two or three dolphins.

It was the rainy season, and it rained, with cold winds making it quite chilly even with two layers of clothing. If the weather had been better, the scenery might have been nice.

Tips were collected in a box at the exit. The food on board was delicious, and the Japanese commentary was well done.

他社ツアーがまだホエールウォッチングを始めていない時期に申し込みしたため、運良くクジラに出会えるといいなと思い参加しました。
背びれが見えました!とアナウンスはあったものの、その後一度も現れず、実際に見ることはできませんでした。イルカは2、3頭確認できました。
雨季で雨が降ったり、風が冷たく上着は2枚重ね着しても寒いくらいでした。天気が良ければ景色も良かったかもしれません。
チップは出口に箱が置いてある形式でした。
船内の食事は美味しく、日本語での解説もきちんとあり良かったです。

Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Outstanding whale watch

Reviewed by: Carol and Jim

We were totally impressed with the professionalism of the research staff on the whale watch of Dec 8. The pilot was extremely experienced and could pick up the behavior of the whales from afar to make an educated guess as to if they might come up more often than not. The attendants were knowledgeable as well providing much information as to the life cycles of the hump back whales. Many questions were answered to our satisfaction. They put a sort of a microphone to attempt to detect whale sounds although not successful they were willing to try all the technology to help us have the best experience ever. I really think luck played a big part in our amazing morning of whale watching but that being said it's worth taking a chance and we most appreciated the staffs attention to safety and providing all the education they did. The juvenile whales came right up to our boat and we're curious and playing around the boat so long the pilot had to call a sailboat over to distract them away so we could start our engine and return to shore. It was just amazing.

I couldn't see the whale. 鯨はみれず

Reviewed by: H&K

According to the story, it seems a bit early in December. However, I was able to enjoy the lunch cruise. The staff mentioned that it would be difficult to see whales today, but they directed us towards the west coast where dolphins were spotted. We were able to see dolphins for a brief moment. I received a one-year valid reboarding ticket, but I'm not sure if I can go within a year.

話によると、12月ではまだすこし早いらしい。
でも、ランチクルーズということで楽しめました。
係員の人が、今日は鯨は無理そうだけど、いるかが西海岸のほうにいるからと、まわしてくれました。一瞬ですが、いるかが見れました。
1年間有効の再乗船券をもらえたのですが、1年以内にいけるかどうか。

  • 鯨が見れなくても、グループで行くと楽しいです。

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

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Neera Iyer

This was a last minute booking so we were glad to get it. We did the 7:45-9:45 PM night tour. The set up is pretty standard. The crew was experienced and knew what to do when didn’t find rays at the first spot. We were towed gently to where we saw two! We had a couple of screamers which was a bit annoying but that apart, terrific trip

I will never participate again. もう二度と参加はしない

Reviewed by: たらむ

First, the pickup was 15 minutes late. Just as I was about to call because I couldn't wait any longer, they finally arrived, and of course, there was no apology. Next, when boarding the boat, it was so crowded that there were no seats at all. Our group of six had to stand both going and coming back. The staff completely ignored the fact that we were standing without seats. It was difficult to stand with the boat swaying, and when I tried to go towards the deck to grab the handrail, I was told I couldn't. I had no choice but to keep standing. A minute later, when a foreigner tried to go to the deck, the staff said nothing. So, we also moved to the deck. My wife's parents, who are elderly and have weak legs, were with us, and I think it's terrible to accept reservations when there are no seats available. Even though we were visible to the staff, they did nothing and even prevented us from going to the deck. Moreover, when we were sent back, there was no explanation, and we had no idea which car we were supposed to get into. At one point, they changed the route to drop off other customers, and for some reason, they started picking up new customers, leaving us anxious about when they would finally send us. They stopped for a long time near the Sheraton without any explanation, and since it seemed like we wouldn't be departing anytime soon, we had no choice but to get off and go shopping. It was truly the worst experience. I will never use this company's tour again.

まずピックアップは15分遅れ。待ちきれず電話しようとしたところでやっと到着、もちろん謝罪はない。つぎに船に乗る際人がいっぱいで、座るところが全くない。私たち6人のグループだけが行きも帰りも立ったまま。スタッフは我々が座れず立っているのに全く無視。ゆれて立っているのが大変なため船の手すりに捕まろうとデッキの方へ行こうとしたらダメと言われ、仕方なく立っていた。その1分後に外人がデッキへ行こうとしたらスタッフは何も言わず。なので我々もデッキへ移動。妻の親が参加しており老人で足腰弱いんだから、座る場所もないのに予約を受けるなんて最悪と思います。我々がスタッフに見えているにもかかわらず、なんの対応もせずデッキにすら行かせるのを邪魔して一体なんなんだと思います。しかも帰りの送りの際もなんの説明もなく、いったいどの車に乗ればいいのかさっぱりわからなかった。途中他の客の求めでコースを変えて降ろしていたし、何故か新たに客を乗せ出しているしいつになったら我々を送ってくれるんだとやきもきしました。途中シャラトンのそばでなんの説明もなくずっと停車しいつまで待っても出発しそうにない為、仕方なく我々は降車し買い物にでかけました。本当に最悪でした。二度とこの会社のツアーは利用しません。

Outstanding!!!

Reviewed by: Kim McMillian

This was a great experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. I was having problems swimming in the choppy water and one of the girls stuck by me, made sure I was ok and also made sure I was able to see the dolphins.
My son and grandson loved seeing the turtles and the kayak.
Thank you for a wonderful time. We highly recommend this excursion with this company. They’re outstanding!
