アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

It was mysterious! 神秘的でした!

Reviewed by: Foogee3

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried, but there was no problem at all. It was mystical to see the turtles swimming and the schools of fish. Also, the view of the coastal hotels when returning from the sea was lovely. I think it's a sight you don't get to see often!

船酔いするタイプなので、ちょっと心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。
亀が泳ぐ姿や魚の群れが見れて神秘的でした。
また、沖から戻る際に見えた海岸ホテル群の景色が素敵です。なかなか見れない景色だと思いますよ!

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

Absolutely amazing, so moving!!! とにかく最高、感動!!!

Reviewed by: かすみ

This was our first time participating in Dolphin University as a pair. Since we were on the first bus, it was really early in the morning, but the staff member kept everyone energized, so I wasn't sleepy at all! I also learned a lot of interesting facts about dolphins.

When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, we spotted dolphins in about five minutes!!! Around 20 dolphins were right in front of us! After that, we returned to the boat to relax, and then we saw another group of dolphins! This time, we even got to see a baby dolphin swimming along, and we were thrilled to witness dolphin jumps live! Later, we encountered three sea turtles, and I was constantly amazed throughout the trip!

We also had a packed schedule with canoeing, paddle surfing, a jumping contest from the boat, and a hula dance with all the participants! The pineapple and cheeseburger we had on the boat were really delicious. I was quite anxious about whether we would actually see dolphins before going, but it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying tour. Oh, for those who are worried about seasickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand (there were participants who got sick...). Also, a professional photographer took a lot of pictures during the tour, and I think it's definitely worth buying those photos! They were taken beautifully!

Next time I go to Hawaii, I absolutely want to participate again!

今回初めてイルカ大学に2人で参加しました。第1便だったので朝はすごく早かったのですがバスの中ではお姉さんがハイテンションでみんなを盛り上げてくれたので全く眠くなかったです! イルカの豆知識もたくさん知ることができました。
いざ港に着き、船に乗り込むと5分くらいでイルカさんたちを発見!!!20頭くらいのイルカが私たちの目の前に!その後いったん船に戻りゆっくりしているとまた次のイルカの群れが!今度は赤ちゃんイルカも一緒に泳いでいるのも見れ、さらに生でドルフィンジャンプも見れて感動!そのあとは3匹の海亀さんにも出会え終始感動しっぱなしでした!
あとはカヌーやらパドルサーフィン、船からのジャンプ大会、参加者全員でのフラダンスと盛りだくさんの内容です!船の中で食べたパイナップルやチーズバーガーは本当においしかったです。行く前は本当にイルカに会えるか不安でしたが本当に大大大満足のツアーでした。あ、船酔いが心配な人は事前に必ず酔い止めを飲むのをオススメします。(参加者の中にもリバースしている人がいたので…)あとプロのカメラマンさんがツアー中にたくさん写真を撮ってくれるのですがその写真は絶対に買ったほうがいいと思います!ものすごく綺麗に撮ってくれます!
次ハワイに行く際はまた絶対に参加したいと思います!

My friends were very happy! 友人夫婦は大変喜んでくれました!

Reviewed by: 石田修治

This was my third experience, so I didn't have the strong impression I had the first time, but my friends who experienced it for the first time seemed to find it fresh and were very happy. They shared that it was a top-class event during our seven-night stay in Hawaii. As the one who invited them on this trip, I felt very pleased about that. Since it was muddy from the rain, the horses were slipping, which seemed to add to the thrill.

私自身は3度目の体験ですので、最初の時の強い印象はありませんが、今回初めて体験した友人夫婦には新鮮であったようでとても喜んでくれました。今回の7泊のハワイでのイベントのトップクラスと感想を伝えてくれました。その事が、今回の旅行を誘った私としては嬉しく思います。雨でぬかるんでいたため、馬が足を滑らせていたため、余計スリルに溢れていたようです。

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise

Reviewed by: Simon

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

I was thrilled to finally meet the Dolphins and the crew! 念願のドルフィンとクルーの皆さんに感激

Reviewed by: MIC

Last time I went to Hawaii, I participated in a dolphin tour with another company, but I got seasick and had to give up snorkeling. This time, I was really looking forward to swimming with the dolphins. However, due to the effects of the hurricane, we weren't able to see the dolphins on the first day, despite the high probability of encountering them.

However, since my husband couldn't swim and immediately cramped up, the Japanese guide helped him with a float and guided him to where the sea turtles were, so he was able to enjoy himself even without seeing the dolphins. I used a half-price ticket for not seeing the dolphins and tried again the next day.

I was truly moved to be able to swim close to the dolphins I had longed for, to see many fish, and to see many sea turtles up close. More than that, I was touched by the morning call, the crew's hula dance and performances on the boat, and the crew's desire for many people to meet the dolphins.

There are various dolphin tours offered by different companies, but I highly recommend Dolphin and You. I would definitely like to participate again.

前回、ハワイに行った時に別の会社のドルフィンのツアーに参加したのですが,船酔いで,シュノーケリングは断念したため、今回こそはどうしてもドルフィンと泳ぎたいととても楽しみにしていました。しかし、ハリケーンの影響か、一日目は高い確率で会えるはずのドルフィンに会えませんでした。
しかし、泳げない上に泳ぎ始めてすぐに足をつった主人を日本語ガイドさんが、浮輪,で誘導して、ウミガメのところまで案内してくれたので、主人はドルフィンには会えなくても、十分楽しめようです。
私はドルフィンに会えなかった場合の半額チケットで、翌日もトライしました。
念願のドルフィンの近くで泳げたこと、たくさんの魚達、たくさんのウミガメを間近で見れたこと、本当に感激しました。
しかし、それ以上に、朝のモーニングコール、船の上でのクルーの皆さんのフラダンスやパフォーマンス、多くの人にドルフィンに会ってもらいたいというクルーの皆さん想いに触れて、感動しました。
色々な会社さんのドルフィンツアーがありますが、ドルフィンアンドユー様をおすすめします。私も、是非、また参加したいです。

I was more moved by the turtles than the dolphins. イルカよりカメに感動

Reviewed by: kimi

There was a large group of dolphins, but they were far below my feet, so I almost missed them. I wish I could have gotten a little closer. Since they are wild, I can't complain.
After the dolphins, we went to the turtle point, and that was really great. It was my first time seeing so many turtles, including baby turtles, up close. Stand-up paddleboarding and the trampoline were also a lot of fun. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious because they cooked them right there on the spot. I also appreciated that they were accommodating with various requests like gluten-free and no cheese.

イルカの大群はいましたが、足元のずっと下の方だったので、見落としそうでした。もう少し近くまで寄れたらよかったのですが。野生なので、文句は言えないですよね。
イルカの次にカメのポイントに行き、そこがとってもよかったです。あんなにそばでたくさんのカメ、子亀?を見るのは初めてでした。またスタンダップパドルボートやトランポリンなど、とっても楽しかったです。BBQハンバーガーは、その場で焼いてくれてるのでとてもおいしかったです。グルテンフリーやチーズなしなどいろいろな希望を聞いてくれるのもありがたいですね。

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

Dolphin University イルカ大学

Reviewed by: amiiiigo

This was my first time using the service! We participated as a couple because we could swim with dolphins while snorkeling. We got on the shuttle from the Sheraton early in the morning, and it felt like the one-hour ride flew by while listening to the fun stories from our tour guide. Once we boarded the boat, we headed to the spot where the dolphins were. Since dolphins move quickly, we jumped into the water as soon as we arrived. I was amazed to see several dolphins swimming just below me!

After that, we moved to another dolphin spot, but we weren't able to see any dolphins the second time. In total, we only went to the dolphin spot twice. Next, we moved to a spot with sea turtles. They were small, but we were able to see them while snorkeling. We also did kayaking and paddle surfing. When we participated, we had enough time for kayaking, but I heard that sometimes if the schedule is tight, those activities might not be available.

今回初めて利用しました!
シュノーケリングでイルカと泳ぐことができるということで、夫婦2人で参加させていただきました。朝早くにシェラトンからの送迎車に乗り込み楽しいツアーのお兄さんの話を聞きながら向かったので片道1時間位があっという間でした。そして船に乗り込みイルカのいるスポットまで向かいました。イルカはすぐに移動してしまう為、着いたらすぐに海に入ります。
そして自分が泳いでいるすぐ下にイルカが何匹か泳いでいました。こんな間近でイルカを見ることができて感動しました!
その後も、またイルカスポットまで移動しましたが2回目は見れませんでした。
結局、イルカスポットへは2回しか行きませんでした。
次に海亀のいるスポットまで移動しました。小さかったですが、泳いでいる海亀をシュノーケリングしながら見ることが出来ました。
そして、カヤックやパドルサーフィンなどもしました。私達が参加した時は時間があったのでカヤックなど出来ましたが、その時によって時間がおしていたら出来ない時もあるそうです。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

The manta ray is huge!! So exciting! マンタ大きい!!興奮!

Reviewed by: マンタすごい

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. We chose a tour that gathered at the meeting point, and although we arrived early at the port by rental car, we got lost because the port was so large (we had received a clear map in advance, but I forgot it at the hotel...) and ended up being over 15 minutes late to meet everyone! I felt really bad for making the tour group wait, but the staff welcomed us with smiles, which made me feel so relieved.

Once everything was ready, we finally set sail! The captain sped the boat up, and when I straddled the edge of the boat, it felt like a thrilling roller coaster ride! (Of course, you can also sit inside the boat). The sunset reflecting on the sparkling sea was incredibly beautiful.

Just as our excitement peaked, we arrived at Manta Point. There were many manta tour boats floating on the water, creating a very magical and beautiful scene. Then, we finally got to go into the water! The seawater was a bit warm, and since they provided us with wetsuits, I didn't feel cold at all.

We took out a small floating boat from the main boat and held onto it. I was a bit worried since I can't swim, but the staff assisted us, so there was no problem at all! We set up our snorkels and waited for the mantas while peering into the water.

And then!!! The long-awaited manta appeared! At first, we saw it swimming just below us, which was exciting enough, but then it turned and spun right in front of us! I was thrilled to see the manta so close that I could see its skeleton and gills! Unfortunately, that was the only time it came so close, but we saw several mantas swimming gracefully.

After getting back on the boat, we sped through the dark sea like a roller coaster again. Unlike the outbound trip, the lights from the land were so beautiful against the dark sea.

I was truly excited until the very end! Next time, I definitely want to join the dolphin tour on the Big Island! The staff were bright and fun, and I was very satisfied! Thank you!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
現地集合をするツアーにしたのですが、レンタカーで集合場所の港には早めについたものの、港が広くて迷ってしまい(ちゃんと分かり易い地図は予め頂いていたのですが、ホテルに忘れてきてしまって・・・)15分以上遅れてやっと合流できました!ツアーの方をみんな待たせてしまっていたので申し訳なさで緊張していたのですが、スタッフの方が笑顔で迎えてくれて、すごくほっとしました。
そして準備が整い、ついに出港!キャプテンが船をビューっと飛ばして、船のふちにまたがれば、まるでジェットコースターみたいにスリル満点!(船の中で座って乗る事ももちろんできます)。サンセットできらめく海がとても綺麗で素敵でした。
テンションが上がりきったところでマンタポイントに到着。
たくさんのマンタツアーのボートが海に浮いていて、とても幻想的で綺麗でうっとり。
そして待ちに待った海の中へ!
海水は少し温かめで、ウェットスーツも貸して頂けたので全く寒くなかったです。
船から小さな浮くボートのようなものをだし、そこにつかまります。私は泳げないので少し心配だったのですが、スタッフの方がアテンドしてくれたので全く問題ないです!
シュノーケルをセットして、水中をのぞきながらマンタを待ちます。
そしてそして!!!念願のマンタが!私達の浮いている下の方を泳いでいるのが最初は見え、それだけでも興奮したのに、次ぎは目の前でくるりと回転してくれたのです!骨格からえらの中まで見れるくらい目の前にいるマンタに大興奮!!残念ながらそこまで近くに来てくれたのはその一回でしたが、何枚かのマンタが優雅に泳いでいるのが見えました。
船に上がって、またジェットコースターのように暗い海を走ります。往路とは違い、暗い海から陸の光がとても綺麗でした。
最後まで本当に大興奮!今度はハワイ島イルカ高校にもぜひ参加したいと思います!
スタッフの方も明るく楽しくて、とても満足です!ありがとうございました!

It was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: amie

The staff was kind and had great energy, making it a really fun tour. Despite a hurricane approaching, we managed to avoid it and set off in pleasant weather! We dove into the sea at two points to swim with dolphins, and luckily, we saw honu (sea turtles) at both spots. They made sure to check if everyone had seen the dolphins, and the explanations in both English and Japanese were reassuring. The slide after swimming with the dolphins was also fun and I highly recommend it! Due to the wind, we couldn't play on the trampoline, which I was looking forward to, but I'll save that for next time!

Once you get into the sea, you inevitably feel cold from the wind while on the boat, so I recommend bringing a towel or a hoodie to wear!

I didn't receive the eco-bag that was mentioned during the booking, but this trip was a highlight for me, so I'm satisfied! I will definitely participate again next time!

スタッフの方も親切で、ノリも良くてすごく楽しいツアーになりました。ハリケーンが来ている中、なんとか逸れてくれて、心地いい天気の中出発!イルカと泳ぐポイント2箇所で海へダイブ、ラッキーだったのかどちらのポイントでもホヌも見れました。 きちんと参加者全員がイルカを見れたかも聞いてくれるし、英語と日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるのな安心です。イルカと泳いだ後の、スライダーも楽しくてオススメです!風の影響で、楽しみにしていたトランポリンでは遊べませんでしたが、これは次回の楽しみに取っておきます笑◡̈

一度海に入った後は、どうしても船上で風を浴びるので、寒く感じます。タオルやパーカーなど羽織れるものを持っていくことをオススメします!

申し込み時に書いてあったエコバッグは頂けませんでしたが…
今回の旅でのハイライトとなりましたので、満足です!次回も是非参加します♪

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>

Swim with sea turtles! 海亀と一緒に泳ぐ!

Reviewed by: もんごー

As a mature couple, we had a wonderful experience that brought us back to our childhood after a long time. The views from the boat to Molokai Island were stunning, and we spent a refreshing and enjoyable time. As mentioned in other reviews, the Japanese female staff were very considerate, which made our first snorkeling experience fun. Although I thought $45 was a bit pricey for the professional underwater photos, I ended up purchasing the CD. The photos were definitely more impressive than what I could have taken myself.

熟年夫婦ですが、久しぶりに童心にかえって素晴らしい体験をしました。モロカイ島までのボートからの景色も素晴らしかったし、心洗われるような楽しい時間を過ごしました。他の方の口コミにもあるように、日本人の女性スタッフの方が良く気遣ってくださるので、シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、楽しく体験出来ました。水中での写真をプロの人が撮ってくれるので45ドルとちょっと高いとは思いましたが、そのCDを購入しました。自分で撮ったものよりさすがにすごかったです。

After reading various experiences, I was worried that it might be quite intense, but I decided to participate. However, on the day of the event, the sky was clear, there was no wind, and the waves were calm—perfect conditions. Apparently, it was a great day for beginners. I’m so glad! Thanks to that, I was able to comfortably splash around in the sea. I believe there was a lot of consideration from the tour staff behind that. Thank you very much.

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Reviewed by: Sindee

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!

The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!

We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Victoria

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

Reviewed by: nagomifamily

It was a very valuable experience since it was the first time for the whole family on a submarine. The guide also made jokes in Japanese, so we had a fun time throughout. It was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish, though.

家族全員が初めての潜水艦だったのでとても貴重な体験ができました、ガイドの方も日本語で冗談を交えて案内してくれたので終始楽しい時間でした、魚があまりいなかったのが少し残念でした。。

Family trip with 8 people☆ 8人の家族旅行で☆

Reviewed by: kotone

We chose Dolphin University for our family trip with three generations, ranging from 6 to 61 years old. This was my number one activity for the trip, and everyone was moved by the experience! The staff were really kind and funny, and we had a great time. We saw plenty of dolphins and sea turtles, and we were very satisfied. They also took a lot of photos, so we have wonderful memories. Choosing Dolphin University from various dolphin tours was definitely the right decision. I would love to go again next time!

親子3世代、6歳から61歳までの家族旅行でのアクティビティでイルカ大学さんを選びました。
私が今回の旅行でしたい事のナンバー1だったのですが、皆を連れて行って全員が感動してくれました♪
スタッフの皆さんは本当に優しくて面白くて、凄く楽しませて頂きました☆
イルカも海ガメも沢山見られたし、大満足でした。
写真も沢山撮ってくれていたので、良い思い出が残りました。
色んなイルカツアーからイルカ大学さん選んで大正解でした。
次もまた行かせて頂きたいです(^_^)

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

It was amazing!!! 凄かった!!!

Reviewed by: ダルマ

It was truly a precious experience to see the manta rays dancing right in front of me. The sunset over the ocean as seen from the boat was an unforgettable beauty. On the way back after seeing the manta rays, we rode the boat through the dark, speeding along like on a banana boat, which was exhilarating! There were also reliable Japanese staff present, so I felt safe participating. I give it a perfect score of 100, no, 150 points!!

マンタが目の前でぐるぐるとダンスするという、本当に貴重な体験でした。
ボートから見た海に沈む夕陽、忘れられない美しさです。
マンタを見た後戻るときにも、真っ暗闇をボートにまたがりバナナボート風で突っ走り、爽快!
頼りになる日本人スタッフもいらして、安心して参加できました。
100点、いや、150点!!です!!

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

A snorkel trip on the Four Winds is a great value

Reviewed by: Charles and Kathy A.

We have wanted to snorkel the Coral Gardens for a number of years and found that the trip aboard the Four Winds would not only take us there but at one third the price of our usual snorkel trip supplier. The food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. The only thing I would recommend is warning their customers not to touch the turtles.

There are a lot of dolphins! イルカがたくさ~ん

Reviewed by: SAWADA

The weather wasn't great, but I was satisfied to meet a lot of dolphins. The staff were all very kind, and I had a lot of fun. What was disappointing was that I forgot to film the dolphins and that we couldn't go to the usual snorkeling spot because of the bad weather. Thank you, Natsumi and Juli, for your help. I would like to participate again.

天気はいまひとつでしたが、たくさんのイルカに会えて満足でした。

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>

I was happy to interact with the dolphins. イルカと触れ合えてうれしかったです。

Reviewed by: ふぁあーすと はわい

The dolphins are so cute! We watched the show (in English), fed them (additional cost), and explored the not-so-large zoo-like area. We checked in ourselves, used the lockers, changed, and gathered. This locker system can be confusing for those who don't understand English. First, you need to buy a special coin for the locker at the counter (the check-in counter is separate from the one for purchasing items) for $3. You use that coin for the locker. For Japanese people, it can be unclear whether the coin is for the locker or change, and I saw someone struggling to figure out how to close the locker, thinking it was change. Although it said "deposit," it is not a deposit, and the money is not refundable. We couldn't fit all our bags into one locker, so we used two. A Japanese guide kindly explained in detail what to do for the activities, and we put on life jackets and received explanations in English. I wear contacts, and when I asked if I should wear goggles, I was told that my head wouldn't go underwater, so it was fine to keep my contacts in, but I was advised not to wear goggles. I learned the names and origins of the dolphins, and one dolphin had appeared in a movie with Johnny Depp 15 years ago, but all that information was in English. I could only understand about two-thirds of it, and although I heard the movie's name, it was one I didn't know. I couldn't find out about it after returning to Japan either.

Swimming with the dolphins was more about completing five activities: kissing them sideways, kissing them face-to-face, holding them from underneath, swimming while holding onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins, and being pushed by two dolphins while swimming, all while posing for photos and videos. At first, we all signaled each other and felt like trainers, feeding the dolphins and petting them. It was great to see their impressive jumps and tricks up close. However, the price is just too high, so I give it four stars. While I'm happy to interact with the dolphins, 25,000 yen per person is excessive. At that price, I would expect all explanations about the dolphins to be in Japanese. Since we had a very kind Japanese guide, it would have been nice to have that. It feels like they think Japanese people are just cash cows. Additionally, the prices for photos and CDs were shocking. About 5,000 yen for a set of five photos times three is no joke. But when I saw the CD being played, I really wanted it. In the end, I bought the CD and two photos each. The person with the camera was okay and explained in English, but the man filming was rude to Japanese people and had no friendliness at all. He was extremely unpleasant. There are changing rooms, but I wished there were showers.

On the bus ride there, the guide suddenly stood up and explained that there are many photo spots for first-time visitors to Hawaii, so we should have our cameras ready. I don't like taking pictures through the window, so I didn't take any, and the kids were sleeping. I also found it hard to catch everything since the guide spoke quickly in English, so I only understood about two-thirds of it. However, I was able to summarize it for the kids on the way back, so I think I understood to some extent. I was surprised because I hadn't experienced anything like this on other tours, but then I realized it was a sightseeing bus. Since it was a sightseeing bus, it made sense that the guide would explain things normally. I think it's great for those who understand English, but I wish they would speak in Japanese for those who don't. By the way, I heard that there are hardly any places in Hawaii that use plastic bags. Sometimes they are used in supermarkets, but Hawaii has decided not to use plastic bags for environmental reasons. When I tried to get a plastic bag because the photos might get wet, that was the explanation I received. I recommend bringing your own plastic bags in advance.

Also, even if tips are not listed in the "included items" on this site

イルカかわいい~!!ショー見て(英語)、餌やりをして(費用別)、あまり広くはない動物園のような園内を見て、自分でチェックインして、ロッカーを使用し、着替えて集合。このロッカーも英語がわからない人にはわかりずらいけど、まずはカウンター(チェックインカウンターと物を購入するカウンターは別)でロッカーの専用コインを3ドルで購入。そのコインでロッカーを使用します。日本人にはロッカー用コインなのかお釣りなのか分かりにくく、お釣りだと思ってロッカーをどう閉めるのか悩んでた人がいました。このロッカー、確かデポジットと書いてあったのにデポジットではなく、お金は戻らないロッカーです。うちは3人分の荷物が入りきらず、ロッカーを2つ使用しました。あとは日本人のガイドさんが丁寧に何をどうすればいいのかアクティビティについて詳しく説明してくれて、胴衣を着て今度は英語で説明を受ける。コンタクトしてるけど、ゴーグルした方がいいのかと聞いたら、頭は水につけないので、コンタクトでもかまわないけど、ゴーグルはしないように言われました。イルカの名前や由来、1頭のイルカはジョニーデップと一緒に15年前に映画にでたという話でしたが、その辺の話は全部英語。私も2/3くらいしか理解できず、映画の名前も聞いたけど、知らない映画でした。日本に帰ってから調べてもわからなかったです。イルカと一緒に泳ぐ!というよりは、5つの項目:キス横顔、キス真正面、イルカを下から抱っこポーズ、2頭の背びれにつかまって泳ぐ、2頭に足を押されて泳ぐ、というのを順番に写真やビデオにポーズをとりながらこなして行く感じでした。最初はみんなで合図をだしてトレーナー気分になったり、餌をやったり。身体をいい子いい子したり。すごいジャンプや芸も間近で見られてよかったです。ただ、あまりにも金額が高すぎるので星4つです。イルカと触れ合えるのは嬉しいけれど、一人25000円は高すぎでしょう。この値段なら、イルカのことなどの説明も全部日本語でしてほしいです。せっかく日本人のガイドさん(しかもとても親切)がいるのだから。最低限のことだけ通じればいい、というのはイルカには優しいけど、お客様には優しくありません。日本人はただの金づるだと思われてるな、と感じます。更に写真やCDが高くてびっくり。5枚セットで5000円くらい×3なんて冗談じゃない。でもCDが流されていて、見るとやはりほしい。結局、CDと写真2枚ずつ買いました。カメラの人は英語の説明をしていてまあまあ感じいいのですが、ビデオを撮影した男は日本人をばかにしていてまったく愛想がない。超感じ悪かったです。更衣室はあるけど、シャワーがほしかったです。行きのバスの中で途中から急にガイドさんが立ちあがってハワイ初めての人は写真スポットが沢山あるからカメラを用意して、と言って色々説明してくれました。わたしは窓ごしの写真はあまり好きではないので撮りませんでしたし、子ども達は寝ていました。私も英語で早口なので2/3分かったかどうか…。でも帰りに子ども達にかいつまんで話せたので、ある程度は理解できていたと思います。他のツアーではこんなことなかったのでびっくりしましたが、そういえば、バスが観光バスだなと思いました。観光バスなので普通にガイドさんが説明するのだと。英語が分かる人にはとってもいいと思います。分からない人は日本語で話してほしいと思いますが。ちなみにハワイにはビニール袋を扱っているところはほとんどないそうです。たまにスーパーなどで使っているけど、今ハワイはエコのために、ビニール袋を使用しないように決められているのだそうです。写真が濡れるからビニール袋をもらおうとしたらそう説明されました。予め自分でビニール袋を用意して行くことをお勧めします。

あと、このサイトの「含まれるもの」にチップと書いてなくてもチップが含まれているオプションも沢山ありました。いちいち15%~20%?と最初はまじめに考えて計算していきましたが、現地で各ツアーに電話で確認しました。ほとんどいらなかったです。まず、チップが必要なものでも20%は払いすぎ。アメリカ人は15%が普通だそうで、それも面白かったら払うだけで、必ず払わなければいえけないわけではありません。なんか日本人は英語が話せない人も多く、チップを多め多めに払うようで、すごくあきれられています。全く当たり前のように払わないのも問題ですが、あくまでも定額以上の仕事をしてくれたら、です。
