An unforgettable experience 忘れられない体験

Reviewed by: ヒロ☆

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I went for my honeymoon. Swimming with dolphins was a first for me, and I was so moved that they came so close. Seeing wild dolphins was a wonderful memory, much more than seeing them in an aquarium. Some of the staff speak Japanese fluently, and above all, everyone is cheerful! I was really caught up in the atmosphere created by the staff, and I had a great time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet Professor Turtle, so I would like to participate again.

初めてのハワイ、新婚旅行で行きました。
イルカと泳ぐのは初めてで、とっても近くまで来てくれてとても感動です。
水族館で見るより、野生のイルカを見れたことがとても思い出になります。
スタッフは日本語がしっかり話せる方もいますし、何より皆さん明るい！
スタッフさんの雰囲気に結構飲み込まれて、とっても楽しむことができます。
残念ながらカメ教授には会うことができませんでしたので、また参加したいと思います。

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Such a great experience

Reviewed by: Sarah

It was really amazing. The guys were really nice and funny, answering every questions. We stayed really long in the cage and at no time we felt unsecure. We saw many sharks all around the cage and coming close to the boat. If you can, ask for them to take the pictures with a gopro, they'll be a lot and you won't have to worry about it.

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

An amazing time!

Reviewed by: JLW

This tour turns everything you think you knew about sharks completely on its head. After a short ride out from the harbor, you arrive at your snorkel site. You quickly and quietly get in the water (with no cage!) and voila, you are swimming with 5-8 foot sharks all around. This was a very professionally run and awesome adventure on the North Shore. Highly recommended to anyone with a sense of adventure.

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＞

It was amazing to see dolphins and sea turtles so close! イルカやウミガメがこんなにも近くで見れて最高でした！！

Reviewed by: 北村佑介

I came to Hawaii for my wife's birthday and participated in this tour.

I felt very relieved because the staff were Japanese. Additionally, there were about ten participants, all travelers from Japan, so we felt very comfortable since we are not good at English.

On the way to our destination, a Japanese female staff member carefully explained the tour's precautions and the attractions of dolphins and sea turtles. She talked non-stop, almost like a bullet (laughs). It takes about an hour to get there, but since she kept talking the whole time, even though it was early in the morning, we didn't have a chance to sleep.

I heard that dolphins can only be found on the west coast of Hawaii. So, they mentioned that you can't see them unless you go to a beach a bit away from Waikiki.

As we were swaying on the bus and listening to her talk, we quickly arrived at the west coast. It felt more like a port than a sandy beach, so at that point, I thought it didn't look that different from other seas.

After using the restroom, we boarded the boat and set sail with several cheerful foreign staff members!!

From there, we headed further north along the west coast. The wind felt nice, and the waves were calm, so I was relieved that I didn't get seasick.

After about 30 minutes on the boat, we finally received information that dolphins were swimming nearby. If you're lucky, you might encounter dolphins in just five minutes, but if you're unlucky, you could drift at sea for about an hour and a half, so I thought we were fortunate this time.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the boat became hectic, and we jumped into the sea right away.

While we were swimming together, the dolphins quickly swam by us. It seemed that there was a pod of about 50 dolphins swimming a bit apart, and we were able to swim with them multiple times, which was very lucky.

Moreover, the dolphins were in a great mood and were making a lot of sounds. When I put my face in the water, I could hear their calls.

Still buzzing with excitement, we returned to the boat and headed to the next snorkeling point.

Next, we saw many sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around.

At first, I didn't realize it, but the water here is even clearer than in Waikiki. From the boat, I could see the bottom of the sea clearly, which looked to be more than ten meters deep.

It was truly a beautiful sea. It was amazing!!

I had so much fun.

On the way back, almost everyone was fast asleep on the bus (laughs).

You might get tired from swimming a lot, but I was very satisfied. I really want many people to experience the excitement of meeting wild dolphins!

I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii! I am grateful to the staff who supported us!!!

Thank you very much.

妻の誕生日にハワイに来てこのツアーに参加しました。

スタッフは日本人だったのですごく安心しました。
また、ツアー参加者は約10数名、全員日本からの旅行者だったので英語が苦手な私たちはとても安心感がありました。

目的地までは、日本人の女性スタッフがツアーの注意点やイルカやウミガメなどの魅力を丁寧に教えてくれます。
本当に弾丸のごとくしゃべり続けます(笑)
現地まで約1時間弱ありますが、ほとんどしゃべりっぱなしだったので、朝は早いですが、寝る暇はありません。


イルカはハワイでは西海岸にしかいないそうです。
なので、少しワイキキからは離れているビーチじゃないと見れないと言っていました。

バスに揺られながら、話を聞いているうちにあっという間に西海岸に到着。
砂浜ではなく、港みたいな感じなので、この時点では他の海とそんなに変わらないかと思ってました。

トイレを済ませて船へ乗り込み、陽気な外国人スタッフ達数名と海へ出航します！！

そこから西海岸をさらに北上します。
風が気持ちよく、波も穏やかだったので心配していた船酔いは大丈夫でした。

約30分ほど船を走らせると、ようやくイルカが近くを泳いでいるとの情報がありました。
運が良ければ5分でいるかと遭遇なんてこともあるそうですが、運が悪ければ1時間半くらい海を漂うこともあるそうなので、今回はまだマシだったと思います。

そこからは本当に船の上が急に慌ただしくなり、すぐさま海に飛び込みました。

みんなで泳いでいたら、イルカたちはすぐに私たちのそばを泳いでいきました。
今回は約50頭ほどの群れが少し分かれて泳いでいたようで、何度もイルカと泳ぐことが出来たのでとても運が良かったといってました。

しかも、イルカたちはとても機嫌が良かったのがめっちゃ鳴いていました。
海に顔を付けると、鳴き声が聞こえてきます。

興奮冷めやらぬ中、ボートに戻り次のシュノーケルポイントへ向かいます。

次は、ウミガメときれいな魚がたくさん泳いでいました。

初めは分からなかったのですが、こっちの海はワイキキよりもさらに透明度が高いです。
ボートの上からでも10メートル以上はありそうな海の底まできれいに見えました。

本当に綺麗な海です。
最高でした！！

本当に楽しかったです。

帰りのバスはみんなほぼ爆睡(笑)

めっちゃ泳ぐので疲れるかもしれませんが、とても満足でした。
ぜひ、野生のイルカと出会える感動をいろいろな人に味わっていただきたいです！


またハワイに行った時には参加したいです！
サポートしていただいたスタッフに感謝です！！！

ありがとうございました。

My First Trip to Hawaii
I had always wanted to take my two rebellious daughters on a tour to see dolphins. After searching around, I decided to join this tour because it offered the chance to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. It seemed to be a popular tour, which made me even more excited.

A shuttle picked us up near our hotel, and we set off right away. After completing the necessary paperwork in the vehicle, we relaxed until we arrived at the ocean. The port we arrived at felt quite small and rural, which raised a little concern, but we boarded the boat anyway.

On the boat, we sang Hawaiian songs together as we headed to the dolphin point. We put on our life jackets, fins, and snorkeling gear, and as soon as we arrived at the point, we jumped into the water! That day, the earlier group had already seen dolphins, so we were hopeful we would spot them soon! I was glad we booked the second trip!

Then, just as the guide had explained, we saw the sign to look underwater!!! It seemed there were dolphins, so my kids and I held hands and desperately tried to find them… There they are! Dolphins!!! We were all so excited! We kicked our legs and swam after the dolphins.

The dolphins were magical, swimming silently in the water. It was wonderful. Although the visibility was low and it was a bit dark, it was truly amazing. After getting back on the boat, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles.

This time, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat!! They even jumped! What a fantastic experience! [Of course, they were wild.] We were so thrilled! It was such a joy to see them jumping alongside the boat, almost like a dolphin show at an aquarium [though comparing is a bit unfair].

Afterward, we had hamburgers for lunch, saw sea turtles, and even got to paddleboard if we wanted. It was a jam-packed tour. While we were busy having fun, we didn’t take many photos, but they took plenty of pictures for us, and they also sell photos from underwater, so we can keep many memories.

Above all, even though it was a bit cool and the water visibility was low that day, it was the best tour ever!! I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii!

初めてのハワイ
反抗期娘2人をずっとずっと連れて行きたかったイルカに会えるツアー
色々探したのですがこちらは野生のイルカに会えるツアー、ウミガメにも会えるという事で参加を決めました。
人気があるツアーの様でまたまた期待が膨らみます。
ホテル近くに送迎が来て 早速出発。
車内にて注意事項や同意書などの記載が終わるとのんびりしながら時間を過ごしているうちに海に到着。
到着した港は何とも小さく田舎な感じがして…
小さな心配が発生しましたがとりあえず 船に乗り込み…
船の上では皆んなでハワイの歌を歌いながらイルカポイントへ向かいました。
ライフジャケットやフィンやシュノーケルの道具を装着しポイント到着後すぐに入水！
この日は先発便がすでにイルカに会えていたのでポイントがわかっていたので早々に会えるかも！との事でした！2便にしていて良かった！
そして 船上での説明通り海の中を見ろのサインが！！！イルカがいる様なので 子供達と3人手を繋ぎながら必死でイルカを見つけようとしていたところ…いる！イルカがいるーーー！！と3人で大興奮！！イルカを追いかける様に足を動かし泳ぎまくりました。
水の中の音もなく幻想的な中のイルカ。素敵でした。この日は透明度が低く暗い中でしたが 本当に素敵でした。
船上に上がり 移動しウミガメに会えるスポットへ。
今度は船と一緒にイルカが泳いでる〜！！しかもジャンプまで！！なんて大サービス！！〔もちろん野性です〕こちらも大感激でした！！
水族館のイルカショーの様なジャンプを〔比べるのも失礼ですが〕船と並走しながら見れるなんて幸せ過ぎました。
その後 ランチのハンバーガーを食べたりウミガメにも会えたり、希望によりパドルボートなどもさせて頂けたりと 満載のツアーでした。
遊びに夢中だと写真を撮れませんが
たくさんの写真も撮ってくださり海の中の写真付きで販売もしているので思い出もたくさん残せそうです。
何より この日は少し涼しく海の透明度が低い日ではありましたが 最高のツアーでした！！
ハワイに行くときはまた参加したいと思います！！

Full of volume. ボリューム満点

Reviewed by: NJA

I participated in this trip with my husband for our honeymoon.

In the early morning, we boarded a bus that came to pick us up at the hotel. The guide was full of energy and talked non-stop until we reached the port! Not only did they keep the atmosphere lively, but they also taught us how to swim, shared information about dolphins, and provided insights about Hawaii, which was very educational.

We were able to rent wetsuits for $10. Even in June, the water was cold, so the suit that covered up to my wrists on the upper body and up to my knees on the lower body was very helpful.

That day, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins right after we set sail. With over 30 people on board, I, who am not a strong swimmer, was allowed to enter the water first. I had to swim quite hard to search for the dolphins swimming freely. However, the excitement when I finally saw them was extraordinary! They looked small in photos, but in reality, they swam right beneath us, making them appear much larger! I could even hear the dolphins' echolocation, and it felt like they were greeting us, which was a wonderful moment.

Thanks to the guide, who loudly pointed out their locations, everyone was able to see the dolphins after two tries.

After the dolphins, we moved to the snorkeling point. We saw about four sea turtles! The crew threw bread for feeding, which attracted a lot of yellow fish, making it a lot of fun.

We also had time to experience stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. The stand-up paddleboarding was difficult, but I ended up flipping over dramatically, and my husband and I had a great laugh about it.

Afterward, we enjoyed cheeseburgers and snacks, danced the hula together, and were very satisfied with the abundant activities!

新婚旅行で夫と参加しました。

早朝、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれたバスに乗り込みます。
港に着くまでの間ガイドさんは元気いっぱい喋りっぱなし！

ウェットスーツは10$で借りられました。
6月でも海の中は冷たかったので、
上半身は手首まで、下半身は膝上まであるスーツはありがたかったです。

この日は運良く出港してしてすぐにイルカの群れに会えました。
30人以上乗っていたので、
泳ぎが苦手な私は先に海に入らせてもらいました。
自由に泳ぐイルカを探すのでかなり頑張って泳がないといけないです。
でもその分イルカに会えた時の感動は格別でした！
写真では小さいですが、実際はみんなの真下を泳いでくれたので大きく見えました！
イルカの超音波も聞けて、
まるで私たちにあいさつしてくれているようで素敵なひとときでした。

2回のトライで全員イルカを見ることができて、
大声で居場所を教えてくれたガイドさんに感謝です。

イルカの後はシュノーケルポイントに移動。
ウミガメは4匹くらい見られました！
クルーの方がエサ用のパンを投げてくれたので、
黄色い魚がいっぱい寄ってきて楽しかったです。

スタンドアップパドルやカヤックの体験時間もありました。
スタンドアップパドルは難しかったけど、
盛大にひっくり返って夫と一緒に大爆笑しました。

その後チーズバーガーやスナックをいただき、
みんなでフラも踊って、
ボリューム満点の内容に大満足でした！

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins. 野生のイルカに感激

Reviewed by: みなみこ

While it's common to see interactions with dolphins at aquariums or swimming with them, encountering wild dolphins is quite rare. I was initially not planning to join the dolphin tour that my family asked me to find. However, as I read more about the details of the tour and experiences from others, I became irresistibly drawn to the idea of meeting these wild dolphins, and eventually, I ended up signing up for it myself.

The waters of the West Coast are incredibly clear, and the dolphins swimming, the ocean floor, and even the sunlight filtering through all had an unbelievable sparkle, existing naturally in their own right. I've seen many beautiful things, but it's captivating to witness the raw beauty of the Earth as it is, rather than something prepared for us.

I enjoy participating in various activities, but I usually feel satisfied after doing something once, and it's rare for me to want to see something again. So, I was surprised by how much this experience moved me.

水族館などで触れ合ったり一緒に泳ぐというのはときどき見かけますが、野生のイルカを観るというのはなかなかないのではないでしょうか。
家族に頼まれて探したイルカツアーでしたが、私自身は最初参加するつもりはありませんでした。
ところが、ツアーの詳しい内容を見たり体験談を読んだりしていると、この野生のイルカに会いに行くというところにどうにも惹かれて、ついには一緒に申し込みをしてしまいました。
西海岸の海は本当に澄み切っていて、泳ぐイルカも海底も、差し込む太陽の光でさえも、本当に信じられない煌きをもって飽く迄自然に存在していました。
いろいろな美しいものを見てきたけれど、用意された何かではなくてただそこにあるということのありのままの地球の姿に、こんなにも心奪われるものなのですね。
アクティビティ系は好きでよく参加するのですが、わりと1度やったら満足で、もう1度絶対に観たいと思うものはなかなかないので自分でも驚きました。

It was moving. 感動♡

Reviewed by: 谷口美佳

This was my first time participating in a tour! First of all, the welcoming bus was adorable, decorated with the words "Dolphin University" and a cute dolphin illustration! The staff members were all very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Since it was my first time, I had various concerns, but they provided detailed explanations, which made me feel at ease.

I heard that since they are wild dolphins, there might be times when we wouldn't see any, which made me nervous... I really wanted to see at least one dolphin! I never expected to see wild dolphins so close! It was truly moving. There were several wild dolphins swimming right beneath me, and I was able to swim close to them multiple times. It was such a precious experience.

I was also surprised to encounter a sea turtle, which I hadn't anticipated, and that was even more touching! I was able to get very close to the sea turtle and even touch it. The lunch burgers and pineapples were delicious too. I did feel a bit seasick on the way back, but it was so much fun that I'm still reminiscing with my friends while looking at photos. Participating in this tour gave me a truly wonderful experience, and I would love to join again!

今回初めてツアーに参加しました♡まずはお迎えのバスが可愛い♡イルカ大学の文字と可愛いイルカの絵が描かれていました‼︎そしてスタッフの方々はみんなとても知識が豊富で、楽しい人達ばかり♡初めての参加だったので、色々と不安でしたが、細かく丁寧に説明してくださったので、安心して参加することができました‼︎野生イルカなので、会えないこともあると聞いてドキドキ…一目でもイルカを見たいなぁと思っていました‼︎まさか、野生イルカをあんなに近くで見れるなんて*\(^o^)/*とても感動しました♡自分の真下を野生イルカが何匹も泳いでいて、何回も近くで一緒に泳ぐことができて…とても貴重な体験をすることができました。そして、まさかウミガメにも会えるなんて思っていなかったので、さらに感動‼︎ウミガメは触れるほと至近距離で会うことができました。ランチのハンバーガーや、パイナップルも美味しかったです。帰り道は少し船酔いしてしまったけど、本当に楽しくて今でも参加した友達と写真を見ながら思い出に浸っています。今回ツアーに参加して、本当に素敵な体験をすることができました。また是非参加したいです♡

Reviewed by: るるこ

We booked our first trip to Hawaii for our wedding and honeymoon. It was both of our first experiences with snorkeling. I’m not a strong swimmer and lack stamina, so I was a bit anxious, but I thought it would be fine since there were families with small children among the participants. However, once I got into the water and started swimming, the snorkeling mask was so uncomfortable… While the other participants glided effortlessly, I was struggling and gasping for breath, feeling like I was falling behind and getting anxious. Thankfully, my husband helped pull me along, so I managed to keep up (laughs).

After swimming for a while, I saw a dolphin swim right underneath me, and I was so excited!! While chasing after it, I forgot all about the discomfort! I also saw beautiful schools of fish (they were so close I could almost touch them!) and even a sea turtle! The emotion I felt when I saw them for the first time is beyond words!! I’m really glad I participated!!

The staff were all cheerful and wonderful people. They made us laugh so much that I didn’t feel seasick at all. The cheeseburger with pineapple we had on the boat was delicious too.

If I have the chance again, I would love to enroll again!!!

結婚式＆新婚旅行を兼ねて初めてのハワイ旅行で、申し込みました。

しかし、実際海に入って泳ぎだしたら、シュノーケリングのマスクが苦しくて苦しくて…他の参加者がすいすい進んでいく中1人ゼェゼェいいながら必死で泳ぐも後れを取りそうになり焦りました～。
主人がひっぱっていってくれたのでなんとかついて行けました（苦笑）
しばらく泳いでいたらイルカが自分の下を通るのが見えて、大興奮！！後をおいかけて泳いでいるうちに、苦しいのは忘れちゃいました！
他にもきれいなお魚の群れ（これは触れそうなほど近かった！）やウミガメも見れました！初めて見たときの感動は言葉では言い表せません！！
本当に参加してよかったです！！

I saw dolphins! イルカ見れた❗

Reviewed by: しゅう

I found out about a tour where you can swim with dolphins on Veltra, and I applied because I wanted to swim with dolphins in Hawaii. A bus picked us up from the hotel early in the morning, and the guide provided a fun lecture until we arrived at the port. We reached the port in no time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by cheerful Hawaiians, and once we boarded the boat, we enjoyed hula dancing and other activities. Before we knew it, we spotted a pod of dolphins! I was thrilled to see them up close, but since they were wild dolphins, I couldn't touch them.

After that, we saw sea turtles and beautiful fish while snorkeling. Those who wanted could play on stand-up paddleboards or kayaks, and I chose to do stand-up paddleboarding. I had a very fulfilling time snorkeling and paddleboarding! On the way back, we all danced the hula and enjoyed hamburgers, making it a wonderful experience. I think this tour is perfect for anyone who wants to swim in the beautiful waters of Hawaii and swim with dolphins.

Veltraを見たらイルカと泳げるツアーがあるということを知り、ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたくて応募しました。
早朝バスがホテルまでお出迎えで、バスに乗るとガイドさんが港に着くまで楽しくレクチャー。あっという間に港につきました。港につくと陽気なハワイアンがお出迎えで船に乗り込むとフラなどのダンスで楽しくすごし、そうこうしているとイルカの群れが❗射るかを見ることができて感激❗触れられる距離で見たかったですがそれは野生のイルカなので叶いませんでした。
その後も海亀みたりきれいな魚をシュノーケリングで見たあとは、希望者がスタンドアップパドルかカヤックで遊べて、私はスタンドアップパドルをしました。
シュノーケルをしたりスタンドアップパドルをしたりととても充実した時間を過ごせました❗
帰りはみんなでフラを踊ったりハンバーガー食べたり至れり尽くせり。いろいろな体験ができてとても楽しかったです✨
ハワイのきれいな海で泳ぎたい、イルカと泳ぎたいって人にはピッタリだと思います。

The content is average considering the high price. 価格が高い割に内容は普通

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり（その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない）、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

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＞

I was able to meet a lot of manta rays! たくさんのマンタに会えました!

Reviewed by: haro

The guide, Tori, was bright and kind, a really nice person! I was a bit worried about the night snorkeling since it was my first time, but we just held onto a board with lights and floated, so there was nothing to worry about at all. I was more moved by the manta rays that kept coming right up to us. We were in the water for about 30 minutes, so after getting out, it felt cold, so it's essential to have something to wear. I also think it's a good idea to bring a waterproof camera. You can take photos up close!

ガイドのとりさん明るくて優しい良い方でした!
夜のシュノーケリングは初めてで怖いんじゃないかと少し心配していましたが、
ライト付きの板にみんなでつかまって浮いているだけなので、全く心配なことはありませんでした。それよりも目前まで何度もやってくるマンタに感動しっぱなしでした。
30分ほど水の中にいるので、あがったあとは寒さを感じるので羽織るものは必須です。
あと防水カメラ持っていくといいと思います。間近で撮影できます!

This was an awesome excursion, saw plenty of turtles and the crew was friendly and experienced! My daughter took a GoPro camera, Mike (our guide snorkeling) took awesome video for her of the turtles and pics of them as well! I will definitely do this one again when I get back here.

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Amazing time with mantas

Reviewed by: FJC

Eka Canoe provided a great tour. The small group size gave a really good guide/tourist ratio. The fact that the boat sailed from Keauhou Bay meant that we only had a short (about five minutes) ride to the viewpoint. The experience of watching these creatures was fantastic. They are wild animals, so one never knows what to expect. I did not see the "inverted loop" feeding behaviour that is usually shown in promotional videos, but I saw four mantas cruising mid-way between the bottom and the surface. It was a remarkable experience. The crew and guide looked after us well. They were booked up for the remaining evenings that I had on the Big Island or I would have returned for a repeat tour!

I can feel the dolphins' ultrasonic waves!! イルカの超音波を感じる!!

Reviewed by: ブタッキー

I participated in Dolphin University on my honeymoon! On the day of the event, a bus with "Dolphin University" written in Japanese arrived at the meeting point, which was very easy to understand.

There were Japanese staff members, and the name verification was completed quickly!

The bus was filled with travelers from Japan, so I felt relieved since I was tired of English!

On the way to the destination, a lively female staff member shared a lot about the charm of dolphins, precautions, and their origins—mainly the appeal of the dolphin instructors!

My excitement grew on the bus...

We arrived at the ocean on the west side of Hawaii!!

As soon as we boarded the boat, the cheerful staff increased, and we set sail into the blue sea!!

About 10 minutes later...

Wow, dolphins were swimming nearby!! The staff said we were lucky today! They found the dolphins, so we were going into the water!

When we all swam together, right below us...

Dolphin instructors!!! I was incredibly excited! To be able to swim so close to wild dolphins!!

Moreover, when I put my face in the water, I could hear the dolphins' ultrasonic sounds! I thought to myself, "So this is what it’s like to communicate with dolphins!"

The dolphins swam back and forth around us, sometimes playing with floating debris. The dolphin instructors were so cute!

Next, we headed to the snorkeling point... During that time, I sat at the front of the boat, feeling the splashes of water and experiencing the great outdoors, my excitement was at its peak!!

At the snorkeling point, there were sea turtles and fish! I am truly grateful for the beautiful sea! The underwater view was so clear, with lots of fish! I couldn't help but exclaim, "Hawaii is the best!"

It was really fun! On the way back, as the staff said, 90% of the people were fast asleep on the bus back to Waikiki!

I hope many people get to experience the conversation with wild dolphins!!

I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

Thank you to all the staff!

Emotional experience 感動体験

Reviewed by: masaki

I came to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon. This time, I enrolled in Dolphin University. They picked us up at the hotel at 6 AM, and it took about an hour to get to the port. The staff provided a detailed explanation of the experience on the bus, which made me feel very reassured. However, it was a bit cold on the bus.

Once on board, we enjoyed listening to Hawaiian music while searching for dolphins. The beautiful sea and mountains were breathtaking. It seemed we were lucky that day, as we were able to spot a pod of dolphins. I think we saw more than 30 of them. For us, who had dreamed of swimming with dolphins, it was a very precious experience.

After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles. We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boating, and kayaking! On the way back to the port, we were treated to cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks.

At the end, we learned a Hawaiian dance and danced together! It became a very fun memory! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンで初めてハワイへ来ました。今回イルカ大学へ入学させていただきました。朝6時にホテルまで迎えに来て頂き港までの約1時間。バス内では丁寧に体験の説明をしてくれるのでとても安心です。ただバス内は少し寒かったです。
乗船してからは、楽しくハワイの音楽を聞きながらイルカを探します。
綺麗な海と山が絶景です。
この日は運が良かったようで、イルカの群れを見付けることができました。
30頭以上は見たと思います。イルカと泳ぐことを夢見ていたわたしたちにとって、とても貴重な体験でした。
その後エリアを変えて海ガメのいるスポットへ移動しました。シュノーケルやパドルボートやカヤックも存分に楽しめました！
港までの帰り道は、チーズバーガーやジュース、お菓子までいただきました。
最後はハワイの踊りを教えてもらってみんなで踊りました！
とても楽しい思い出となりました！
ありがとうございました！

I was able to meet Mr. Dolphin! イルカ先生に会えました！

Reviewed by: mayu

The meeting point is easy to find as they will come to pick you up in a bus marked "Dolphin University." During the bus ride, you won't be able to sleep because there are important explanations to listen to, so make sure to pay attention. However, the conversation is enjoyable, and before you know it, you’ll arrive at the port.

From there, you’ll board a blue boat and set off! On the boat, goggles, fins, and wetsuits for those who want them are distributed. I borrowed a wetsuit to protect against sunburn. While there is some shade on the boat, depending on where you sit, you might be in direct sunlight the whole time.

Once we set off, everyone sings songs and throws plumeria into the sea, asking to meet the dolphin guides. Thanks to this, on the day I participated, we were able to visit many spots with lots of dolphins. When we arrived at the dolphin spot, we jumped straight into the water. There was no time to waste; we just jumped in. Once in, we swam, swam, and swam. By the way, I can't swim at all. (I could only stay in place kicking with a boogie board.) Gradually, I drifted away from the group, unable to see the dolphins... I realized how foolish it was to think I could swim with dolphins when I couldn't swim at all. Just then, a staff member threw me a float and pulled me along. Thanks to that, I was able to meet the dolphin guides even without being able to swim.

After meeting many dolphins, we changed spots for a lesson on snorkeling and paddle surfing. I continued snorkeling and was lucky enough to observe a sea turtle for a long time. The fun time flew by. Finally, we had a light lunch on the boat. After all that activity, everything tasted delicious. If you can’t finish your meal, they provide a Ziploc bag for leftovers.

I slept soundly on the return bus. There was also a photo sale, but it was expensive, so I thought it would be better to save that money for my next participation instead of buying any photos.

Lastly, I want to thank the staff for a wonderful time. Next time, I’ll work hard to swim a bit better!

集合場所にはイルカ大学と書かれたバスでお迎えに来てくれるので、わかりやすいと思います。
行きのバスの中では寝かせてはくれません！重要な説明があるのでしっかり聞きましょう。
でもお話しが楽しいのであっという間にポートに到着してしまいます。
そこから青い船に乗って出発！船の上で、ゴーグルとフィンと希望者にウェットスーツが配られます。私は日焼け対策にもなるので借りました。船の上は日陰もありますが、座る位置によっては常に日に当たってるところもあります。
出発してから、みんなで歌を歌ってプルメリアを海に投げ、イルカ先生に会えるようお願いします。そのおかげか、参加した日にはたくさんのイルカ先生のいるスポットへ行くことができました。イルカスポットに着くと、すぐ海に飛び込みます。足から順々に水をかけて…なんてやってられません。飛び込みます。飛び込んだら、ひたすら泳ぐ泳ぐ泳ぐ。ちなみに、私まったく泳げません。（ビート版をもってバタ足してもその場で待機することしかできません。）だんだんみんなの輪から遠ざかる私。イルカを見る余裕もなく…ああ、泳げないのにいイルカと泳ごうなんてなんて浅はかだったんだろうと思っていたら、スタッフの方が浮輪を投げてくれて、引っ張ってくれました。おかげで私は泳げなくても、ちゃんとイルカ先生に会うことができました。
たくさんのイルカ先生と会えたあとは、スポットを変え、シュノーケルやパドルサーフィンをやる授業です。わたしはそのままシュノーケルをしながら、幸運にも会えたウミガメさんをずっと観察してました。楽しい時間はあっという間でした。最後に船の上で軽く昼食です。動いた後なので、なんでもおいしく感じます。食べきれない場合も持ち帰りのジップロックをくれました。
帰りのバスは爆睡でした。写真の販売もありましたが、高かったので、私はその分また次回の参加費用に充てたほうがいいなと思い購入はしませんでした。
最後になりましたが、スタッフの方々、楽しい時間をどうもありがとうございました。
次はもうちょい泳げるようがんばります。

Reviewed by: みどり

I had a wish to meet dolphins when I went to Hawaii, and it came true. The meeting point was around 6 AM near Waikiki. At the gathering place, there were various people, including couples, friends, and those on company trips. After a while, a large bus came to pick us up. Inside the bus, we started with the instructor's self-introduction, followed by a variety of explanations about recommended points on Oahu, dolphin biology, and important notes for the day. Along the way, we also heard interesting stories about the origin of the existing railway in the Ko Olina area. What I felt most was that everyone from Dolphin University truly loves the ocean and cares for the creatures living in it. If you're going to have the same experience, I definitely recommend going with such people. On the day, I was able to see many dolphins. The dolphins swimming in a pod in the ocean were very mystical. There were also baby dolphins, and they were really cute. We even encountered sea turtles! I was amazed by the vibrancy and abundance of tropical fish. I was healed by the dolphins, moved by the sea turtles, and awed by the largest school of tropical fish I had ever seen. I was completely satisfied!! Thank you so much to the instructor, Juri, and all the staff.

ハワイに行ったら絶対にイルカに会いたいと言う希望を、叶えてくれました。集合はワイキキ周辺だと朝6時あたり。集合場所にはカップルや友達同士、社員旅行の方々など様々な方がいました。しばらくすると、大きなバスが迎えにきてくれました。バスの中では、インストラクターの方の自己紹介に始まり、オアフ島のおすすめポイントやイルカの生体、そして当日の注意事項など、バラエティ豊かな説明を聞きます。途中、コオリナ地区のホテルにもよるのですが、そこに現存している線路の由来の話なども聞けて、とても興味深かったです。何よりも感じたのがイルカ大学の方々は、本当にみんな海が好きで、そして海に住む生き物を大切にしているということ。同じ体験をするなら、そういう方々に連れてってもらう方が絶対におすすめです。当日は、沢山のイルカに会えました。海の中を群れで泳ぐイルカはとても神秘的でした。子供のイルカもいて、本当に可愛かったです。そして海ガメ様にも遭遇！熱帯魚の鮮やかさと多さにも驚かされました。イルカに癒され、海ガメに感動し、今まで見たことがないほどの熱帯魚の群れに圧巻されました。もう大満足！！インストラクターのじゅりさんはじめスタッフのみなさん、本当にありがとうございました。

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: さとう

It was my first time snorkeling, and the experience in the beautiful sea left a strong impression on me. I was lucky enough to see about 30 dolphins, 2 sea turtles, and many small fish. I recommend it for those who can swim reasonably well! For those who aren't very good at swimming, you might not be able to get too close to the dolphins, but since you wear a life jacket and can inform them that you're not a strong swimmer, I think it's doable.

On the day of the trip, I woke up around 5 AM! It was early and I was sleepy, but since it was a special occasion, I went to see the less crowded sea before heading to the meeting point. If I didn't have plans, I wouldn't have woken up this early, so it was a good opportunity.

■ Good points
On the bus to the sea, they explained in Japanese about where we were going, how to swim, precautions, and the ecology of dolphins in an easy-to-understand way. They also provided explanations in Japanese on the boat, which was reassuring. The crew members were friendly and cheerful. After swimming, they prepared drinks, snacks, and cheeseburgers for us.

■ Disappointing points
There was no hula experience or ukulele live performance, which I would have liked to try. The drinks after swimming had a taste unique to foreign countries and weren't very good, so plain water would have been better.

While you can't touch the dolphins or turtles, you can see the pod of dolphins and hear their calls. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable snorkeling experience.

初めてのシュノーケルでしたが綺麗な海での体験はとても印象に残っています。
運が良かったようでイルカ30匹、ウミガメ2匹、小魚、たくさん見れました。
人並みに泳げる人にはおすすめ！
泳ぎがあんまり得意ではない人はあんまりイルカには近づけないかもしれないですけど、
救命具をつけているし泳ぎが得意でないことを申告すれば先頭にしてくれるので出来ると思います。
当日は5時ごろに起きました！朝が早く眠かったですが、せっかくなので人気の少ない海を見てから集合場所へ。用事がなければここまで早く起きなかったのでいい機会でした。

■良かったところ
海につくまでのバスの中、日本語でこれから行くところ、泳ぎ方、注意点、イルカの生態などをわかりやすく教えてもらえます
船の中でも日本語で説明してくれて安心
船の乗務員さんもノリが良く優しい
泳ぎ終わった後に飲み物、スナック、チーズバーガーを用意してくれる

■残念だったところ
フラ体験とウクレレのライブ演奏がなかったのでやってみたかった
泳ぎ終わった後の飲み物が外国特有の味であまりおいしくないので普通の水がいい

イルカやカメに触ることはできませんが、イルカの群れを見たり、鳴き声を聞いたり
総合的にはとても楽しく思い出に残るシュノーケルになりました。

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: m.T

At first, I was worried about whether I would get to see dolphins, but I was really moved to see them up close! The guides were kind, and especially the lady was full of energy! Some people might say she was too energetic, but since it was such a great opportunity, I think I enjoyed it more with a guide who could get us excited like that.

It was early in the morning, and we were constantly swimming, which felt quite athletic, but I had a lot of fun! According to the guide, the university offers other plans besides dolphin snorkeling, but the middle school program only has the dolphin snorkeling plan, so you have to keep swimming continuously, which makes it tougher.

Instead of jumping into a pod of dolphins, we were interacting with wild dolphins, so we stopped the boat far away and swam against the waves to get to the dolphins. If they swam away, we would swim back towards the pod, and it was a cycle of that. Those who may not have much stamina might feel a bit anxious, but you can rest on the boat, and they also provided kickboards, so I definitely recommend trying it out.

They also recommend renting wetsuits, which help prevent sunburn, and more importantly, the water in Hawaii is colder than you might expect, so I suggest borrowing one. The price is $10, which I think is reasonable.

The university's boat is a bit larger and seems to have a restroom, but the middle school's boat is smaller, and everyone gets packed in. There is no restroom on that boat. I signed up for the university program, but due to a boat malfunction, I ended up using the middle school boat. The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're anxious, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

Since it was an early morning trip, I had plenty of time to play after the tour! I definitely want to do this again when I come to Hawaii.

最初はイルカに会えるか心配でしたが、間近で見ることができてすごく感動しました！！
ガイドのみなさんも親切で、特にお姉さんが元気ハツラツ！
元気すぎてつらい、とおっしゃる方もいるようですが、せっかくの機会なのであれくらい盛り上げてくれるガイドさんのほうが私は楽しめるなぁなんて思います。
朝早かったし、常に泳ぎ続けて割と体育会系でしたが、とにかく楽しめました！
ガイドさんのお話だと大学はイルカシュノーケル以外にもプランが組まれているけど、中学ではイルカシュノーケルのみのプランなのでひたすら泳ぎ続けなければいけないからよりきついよ、と言っていました。
イルカの群れがいて、その中に飛び込むというより、野生のイルカを相手にしているので遠くに船を止めて、そこから波ににあらがってひたすらイルカの側まで泳ぐ、イルカが離れていけばまた群れに向かって泳ぐ、の繰り返しでした。
体力のない方は少し不安かもしれませんが、船で休むこともできますし、ビート板の貸し出しをしていましたので是非やっていただきたいです。

また、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを推奨していますが日焼け防止にもなりますし、なにより思ったよりもハワイの海は冷たいので借りることをお勧めします。
お値段も10ドルなので許容範囲かな、と思うのですが。。。。。。
またイルカ大学の船は少し大きめでお手洗いもついているようですが、イルカ中学の船は小さめでみんなでぎゅうぎゅうになって乗船します。
お手洗いはついていません。
私は大学で申し込んだのですが、船の故障？により中学の船を使用することになりました。
船はかなり揺れますので、不安な方は酔い止めの持参をお勧めします。

朝早くの便だったのでツアー後もたっぷり遊べました！
私もハワイに来た際には是非またやりたいなと思います

We were picked up near the hotel and traveled by bus for about an hour from the center of Waikiki to the harbor. During the bus ride, the guide provided explanations about the climate of the Hawaiian islands, recommended spots, and the ecology of dolphins, making the time fly by.

After boarding the boat, we arrived at a spot where we could see dolphins in about 30 minutes. When we dove from the boat and put our faces in the water, we saw a pod of nearly 30 dolphins. Since it was a time when the dolphins were resting, they moved slowly, allowing us to get close and swim with them. According to the guide, it was quite lucky to see so many dolphins at once.

After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles and tropical fish and enjoyed snorkeling. We were also freely allowed to use paddleboards and kayaks.

Although it was a half-day tour, I had a rich experience and was very satisfied.

今回は友人と2名で参加いたしました。

I was thrilled with the beautiful sea! きれいな海で大興奮☆

Reviewed by: mana_tkn

It was an incredibly satisfying experience!! Please be sure to enjoy the beautiful West Coast sea, dolphins, and the fun time with sea turtles.

The staff (class representative) who took care of us from pick-up to drop-off was very energetic and friendly. On the bus ride there, we learned basic knowledge about Oahu, precautions for diving into the sea, and even about the house of a local celebrity, which made the travel time fly by with enjoyable lectures.

When we arrived at the port, we boarded a boat with a cheerful and handsome staff member waiting for us, and off we went! During the homeroom, everyone on the boat sang a prayer song together. We cruised towards the first lesson with Dolphin Teacher. When we spotted the dolphins, we were beyond excited! Seeing wild dolphins up close and swimming right above them was an indescribable experience☆☆ We moved around to various spots on the boat and swam with them twice.

After that, we had the second lesson with Sea Turtle Professor. We moved to a snorkeling spot and enjoyed the beautiful, clear sea filled with many fish! We even encountered Sea Turtle Professor twice at a distance where we almost bumped into each other! (Just a reminder, touching is not allowed!)

We didn't have time for the third lesson, which included kayaking, but it was a thoroughly satisfying class.

Above all, the love the staff had for Dolphin Teacher and their passion for the sea was amazing, and I’m really glad I enrolled in this school. Although I signed up for the tour on my own, it was also nice to see my husband having such a great time. He seemed to enjoy it so much that he wanted the T-shirt the staff was wearing, so we later visited the staff room (Dolphin University office).

Lastly... as mentioned in the items to bring, the boat can sway quite a bit, so if you're even a little worried, definitely take motion sickness medication!

大満足な体験でした！！綺麗な西海岸の海とイルカ、海カメとの楽しい時間をぜひ体験してください。

お迎えからお見送りまで担当してくれたスタッフ（学級委員）はとても元気いっぱいでフレンドリーな方でした。
行きのバスではオアフ島の基本的な知識、海にもぐる際の注意点、途中にある小錦さんの家を教えてもらったりと、楽しい講義であっという間の移動時間。
港についたら、陽気でイケメンなスタッフが待っている船に乗り、出向！
ホームルームでは船上の皆でお祈りの歌を大合唱。1時間目のイルカ先生の授業目指して、クルージング。
イルカ先生を見つけた時は大興奮！野生のイルカを間近で見れて、真上を泳げたときは言葉にできないくらいの感動でした☆☆船でスポットをいろいろ移動しながら、2回も一緒に泳げました。
その後は、海カメ大教授の2時間目。シュノーケリングスポットに移動して、たくさんの魚たちとともに、透明度の高い綺麗な海を満喫！海カメ大教授もぶつかってしまう距離で2回も遭遇できました！（触るのはNGなので要注意です！）
時間がなくて、カヤックなどの3時間目の体育はできませんでしたが、大満足の授業でした。

なにより、スタッフの皆さんのイルカ先生への愛や海への情熱がすごくて、この学校に入学できて本当によかったです。
また私が勝手に申し込んだツアーでしたが、一緒にいった主人がとても楽しそうにしていたのも嬉しかったです。相当楽しかったようで、スタッフが来ていたTシャツが欲しいということで、後日職員室（イルカ大学の事務所）にも伺いました。

最後に…持ち物にも書いてありましたが、船がかなり揺れるので、ちょっとでも心配な方は酔い止めは絶対飲みましょう！

You can swim with dolphins! But that's not all. イルカと泳げる！でもそれだけじゃない

Reviewed by: maron08

I participated this time with the desire to meet dolphins! On the shuttle bus, I enjoyed learning about dolphins and Hawaii, and then we set off to meet our dolphin teachers! The participants were of various ages, from small children to elderly people. The staff were all cheerful and attentive to each participant, providing wonderful support for those who couldn't swim.

We quickly arrived at the spot and headed into the ocean! It was my first time snorkeling, but before entering the water, they taught us very clearly how to swim, and since I was wearing a life jacket, I felt safe swimming.

The dolphins I had longed to see came very close in groups, and I was able to see them multiple times!! It was the season for births, so we even got to see baby dolphins. They were much smaller and incredibly cute compared to the adult dolphins!

After swimming with the dolphins to my heart's content, we headed to another spot to meet beautiful fish and Professor Turtle. There, I was able to meet Professor Turtle right away!! Professor Turtle was really very close!! I was so excited!! (laughs)

However, no matter how close you get, touching Professor Turtle is a no-go. Some participants did touch him, but I think it would cause a lot of stress, so please refrain from touching them, even if they are close. They are wild animals.

After encountering many sea creatures, those who wished could participate in marine sports, and those who still wanted to snorkel did so, and I think everyone had a great time. We could do a lot of marine sports like SUP and kayaking!

It was so much fun that I ended up playing without thinking about my stamina. I was definitely tired, but I think I enjoyed it so much that I forgot about that! There were also hamburgers, snacks, drinks, and fruits, which was perfect since I was hungry after all the activity.

Before arriving at the port, the staff and participants danced the hula, making it a very enjoyable and fulfilling activity!! Everyone was really into it, dancing the hula and having fun. (At first, I thought it would be embarrassing, but it was actually a lot of fun!)

Lastly, I recommend that anyone who gets seasick take motion sickness medication beforehand. One of my companions didn't take any and seemed to struggle a bit. (laughs)

I definitely want to participate again!! Thank you very much.

念願のイルカ先生も群れでとても近くに来てくれて、何度も見ることができました！！時期的に、出産の時期らしく赤ちゃんイルカも見ることができました。大人のイルカよりも、小さくとても可愛かったです！
そして思う存分イルカ先生と泳いだあとは、綺麗な魚たちとカメ教授に会うため、また別のポイントへ。
そこでも、早速カメ教授に出会うことができました！！カメ教授は本当にとてもちかい！！興奮しました！！笑
そしてどんなに近くても、カメ教授に触ることはNGです。しかし参加者の方の中には、触っている方もいましたが、、、大分ストレスになると思いますし、どんなに近くにいても触ることはやめてあげてください。野生の生き物なので。
たくさんの海の生き物達と出会った後は、希望者はマリンスポーツをしたり、まだシュノーケリングをしたい人はしていたりと、皆さんそれぞれでとても楽しんでいたと思います。マリンスポーツはSUP、カヤックなど沢山できました！
楽しすぎて、ついつい自分の体力のことも考えずに遊びました。さすがに疲れましたが笑 でもそんなことを忘れてしまうくらい、とても楽しんだと思います！
またハンバーガーやお菓子、飲み物、果物もあり、いっぱい動いてお腹も空いていたのでちょうど良かったです。
港に着く前はスタッフ、参加者でフラを踊り、とても楽しい、充実したアクティビティでした！！
もう皆さん、ノリノリでフラやダンスを踊っていました。笑（最初は恥ずかしいと思っていたのですが、実際はノリノリで楽しかったです）
最後に。船酔いをする方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいことをオススメします。同行者は飲んでおらず、少しキツそうでした。笑

またぜひ参加したいです！！ありがとうございました。
