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>

Reviewed by: ina

I had previously gone on a whale-watching cruise in Australia and was able to see various jumps up close, so I thought, "Let's experience that excitement again," and decided to participate. The boat was stable, and I didn't feel much rocking.

They communicated the direction of the whales using a clock method, which I thought was a clear way to express it, but we had a hard time encountering the whales. After quite a bit of traveling, we finally spotted a spout in the distance, and everyone cheered, focusing our attention on that spot, but it seemed to have dived down, and there was no further sighting.

After a while, we saw another spout at a similar distance. It felt like the whales were escaping whenever we tried to get closer. Another whale was spotted in a different direction, raising everyone's hopes, but again, it was just a spout. I think we caught a glimpse of a little bit of its back. However, it was far from the excitement I had hoped for.

As we cruised off Diamond Head, it felt more like a tour of viewing Diamond Head from the sea. When I spoke with others who participated, they mentioned that on the dolphin swimming tour the day before, they had seen whales jumping. It seems that even this level of encounter counts as an encounter, but it didn't qualify for the statement, "If you do not encounter a whale, we will issue a pass for a free reboarding of the whale-watching cruise."

以前、オーストラリアでホエールウォッチングクルーズをしたことがあり、いろいろなジャンプを間近で見ることができたので、「感動を再び」と思い、参加しました。
船は安定感があり、揺れはあまり感じられませんでした。
クジラがいた方向を時計で伝えるとのことで、わかりやすい表現でよいなとは思ったものの、クジラとなかなか遭遇できない。
かなり走った後、遠くで潮吹きが見られ、みんなも歓声を上げ、視点が一点に絞られたのですが、潜ってしまったようで音沙汰なし。
またしばらく走ると、同じくらいの距離で潮吹き。
近づこうとすればクジラは逃げていく感じでした。
別の方向に鯨が発見され、みんなの期待も高まったのですが、やはり潮吹き程度。少しだけ背中が見られたかな。
でも、感動とはかけ離れたものでした。
ダイヤモンドヘッド沖を走るので、まるで海からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるツアーのような感じでした。
参加された方とお話をしたところ、昨日のイルカと泳ぐツアーでクジラを見ることができて、ジャンプもしてたとのこと。
この程度の遭遇でも遭遇には変わりないようで、「クジラに遭遇できなかった場合、ホエールウオッチング・クルーズに無料で再乗船できるパスを発行致します。」には該当しませんでした。

Surprisingly... 思いのほか…

Reviewed by: キャベちゅ〜

I was very satisfied with the experience. I got to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles), and we were able to view a sacred spot from the boat (it looked like hands were joined together). I hope it brings good fortune for next year. The hula performance on the boat was also a nice memory. It became a wonderful memory for our honeymoon. Thank you to all the staff. If I go to Hawaii again in a few years, I would love to participate again.

満足のいく内容だった。イルカにも会えたし、ホヌにも会えて、船から神聖なスポットも見る事ができた。(手のひらを合わせている?様に見える場所)来年に向けご利益があればいいなぁ。最後の船上のフラも記念になった。新婚旅行のいい思い出になりました。スタッフの皆さまありがとうございます。また数年後ハワイに行く事があれば参加したいです。

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>

During the cruise, I was able to see whales multiple times. クルーズ中、何度もくじらを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: masa

It was my first whale watching cruise in Hawaii, and the weather was great. Shortly after heading out to sea, we encountered a mother and calf whale, and we were able to see whales multiple times until the cruise ended. Due to Hawaiian law, we had to maintain a distance from the whales while watching, but there was one moment when a whale appeared right next to the cruise ship, and I was amazed by its impressive size. It was such a sudden appearance that I regretted not being able to take a photo. The cruise ship, the Navatik, was a catamaran, which meant there was little rocking, making for a comfortable cruise. I heard that during the season, whales can also be seen from Waikiki, but being able to see them up close from the cruise ship really allows you to feel the power of the whales. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone planning to go whale watching.

ハワイでの初ホエールウォッチングクルージングでしたが、天気も良く沖に出て間もなく親子くじらと遭遇しクルーズが終了するまで何度もくじらを見ることができました。ハワイの法律でくじらに近づいてはだめとのことで距離を保ってのホエールウォチングでしたが、1回だけクルーズ船のすぐそばにくじらが現れたときは迫力の大きさに感動しました。いきなりの出現でしたので写真がとれなかったのは残念でした。またクルーズ船もナバティック号で双胴船のため揺れも少なく、快適なクルージングでした。シーズン中はワイキキからもくじらが見えるとのことでしたが、やはりクルーズ船で近くで見れるのはくじらの迫力を身近に感じることができて感動します。ホエールウオッチングを予定されている方には、おすすめのクルーズです。

Whale watching up close!! 至近距離でのホエール!!

Reviewed by: kaori

I was able to go whale watching at a closer distance than I imagined! I was able to see not just one whale, but two or three, and the photos turned out great. The explanations and guidance in Japanese were easy to understand, and even the staff who didn't speak Japanese were very friendly and accommodating. The boat was clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views of Hawaii from the sea! It was a very enjoyable cruise, and I was lucky enough to see not only whales but also dolphins. I highly recommend it! ♪

想像以上に近い距離でホエールウォッチングすることができました!
クジラも1頭だけではなく、2頭、3頭見ることができ、写真もばっちりでした。
日本語での説明や案内も分かりやすく、日本語が通じないスタッフの方たちもとってもフレンドリーで対応が良かったです。
船もきれいで、海から見るハワイの風景も満喫することができました!
クジラだけじゃなく、イルカなども運よく見ることができ非常に楽しいクルーズになりました。
おすすめです♪

冬季限定!ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~4月/英語ガイド/ラハイナ港発>

It seems that December is still quite limited. 12月はまだ少ないようです

Reviewed by: くじら

In December, the tour just started a couple of days ago. It was about a two-hour cruise, and we saw whales about three times in the distance. Although we didn't see many whales, the guide and the crew were kind, and above all, the sea was very beautiful, making for a pleasant cruise. It might be good to note that there are still fewer whales in December compared to January or February.

12月で、一昨日から今年のツアーが始まったばかりというタイミングでした。
二時間くらいのクルーズで、クジラは遠くに3回くらい現れました。
あまりクジラは見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんや船員の皆さんは親切で、何より海がとても綺麗で、気持ちいいクルーズでした。
1月や2月~に比べると、12月はまだクジラが少ないと注意書きがあっても良いかもしれません。

Disappointed with the staff. スタッフにがっかり

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I ordered a paid cocktail on board, and since I was returning home the next day and didn't have enough US dollars on hand, I requested to pay with my card. The other guests at the same table were immediately asked to sign for their credit cards, but my card was not returned. When I inquired, they asked if all my orders were complete, and after I confirmed they were, they said they would bring it right away, but it never came. Even after prompting again, nothing happened. When I asked a Japanese staff member in Japanese if they were skimming my card, it was returned, but they said, "You should pay with cash or a traveler's check instead of a card," and as they left, they patted my shoulder and said, "This is normal in America. It's different from Japan."

I said I didn't want to pay a tip, but they insisted, "Please give what you feel," and I paid $2 on a $16 order, but I didn't want to return it and pay for the cocktail. I have traveled to mainland America and have been to more than five states. This does not seem normal for America. I was without my card for such a long time, and even after three prompts, all I got was "wait."

I am more disappointed with the poor staff response than not seeing the whales. I would never recommend this to my friends.

船内で有料のカクテルを注文し、翌日が帰国のため手持ちの米ドルが心もとなかったため、カードでの支払いをお願いしました。
すると同じテーブルの他の客はすぐにクレジットカードにサインを求められてましたが、私のカードは戻ってきません。
催促すると全ての注文が終わっているか確認され、終わっていると告げるとすぐに持ってくると言うものの一向に来ません。もう一度催促してもダメ。日本人スタッフに日本語でスキミングでもしているのかと問いただすと、カードは戻って来たものの、「カードではなく現金かトラベラーズチェックで払えばいい」と言い、去り際には「アメリカではこれが普通。日本とは違うのよ」と私の肩を叩いていなくなりました。
チップは払いたくないと言いましたが「お気持ちでください」と請求され、16ドルの注文に2ドル払いましたが、返品してカクテル代も払いたくありませんでした。
アメリカ本土にも旅行したことがあります。五つ以上の州にも行ってます。アメリカの普通とは思えません。それほど長い時間カードを返して貰えず、3度の催促にも「待って」だけでした。
クジラが見えなかったことより、スタッフの対応の悪さにがっかりです。
友達には絶対勧めません。

To be honest, I had an amazing time. It was quite refreshing and enjoyable to think of the tour as a school and go through it like a class. For those who are not good on boats, it seemed like seasickness was quite challenging, but since we kept our spirits high, I feel like there were relatively few issues.

はっきりいって、ものすごく楽しかったです。
ツアー自体を学校と仮定し授業していく、というのも中々新鮮で楽しかったです。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

First snorkeling! 初シュノーケル!

Reviewed by: ひろこ

I'm really glad that I, someone who can't swim at all, was able to enjoy snorkeling without drowning! I had seen it on TV, but I never expected to see such beautiful fish right in front of me; it was truly moving! This time, I could only manage to put my face in the water, but if I get another chance, I definitely want to dive deeper. I encourage those who can't swim to give it a try as well! (laughs)

全く泳げない私が溺れることなく無事にシュノーケリングを楽しめて良かったです!
テレビで見た事はありましたが、あんなに目の前に綺麗な魚が実際に見れるとは思わず、とても感動しました!
今回はどうにか顔をつける事しか出来ませんでしたが、次回チャンスがあれば是非奥深く潜ってみたいな~と思えるような体験でした。
泳げない人も是非挑戦してみてはいかがでしょうか。笑

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

crystal clear at Molokini

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

I swam with dolphins! イルカと泳いで来ました!

Reviewed by: もりもり

I visited on December 6, 2013. This time, I was picked up from Ko Olina, so it was very easy with only about a 30-minute ride. It saves about an hour compared to going from Honolulu, so I especially recommend it for those staying in Ko Olina. This tour had about 20 participants, with a wide age range from their 20s to 60s, which made it feel cozy and nice. The guide spoke only in Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable participating. From the port, we took a boat for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach an area where dolphins might be. The boat also passed through stunning scenery, so we could enjoy the views. The captain found a spot where dolphins were likely to be and prepared for snorkeling. After jumping into the water, we encountered a large group of dolphins just one minute later! There were about 20 dolphins gracefully swimming slowly about 7 to 8 meters away. I was surprised at how quickly we found them! After the group moved away, we returned to the boat and headed to the next spot. The second encounter was amazing, with a group of 30 to 40 dolphins. Furthermore, the dolphins came up close, just about 3 meters away. I could even hear their sounds, and it truly felt like we were swimming together. I recommend this experience for families, couples, and friends. The guide mentioned that encounters like this happen only about twice a year...

2013年12月6日に行ってきました。今回はコオリナからのピックアップでしたので、片道30分程でとても楽々でした。ホノルルから行くより1時間くらいは時間短縮出来るので、コオリナの宿泊の方は特にお勧めです。今回は20名ほどのツアーで、年齢層も20代~60代と幅広くこじんまりした感じで良かったです。ガイドもすべて日本語でとても安心して参加できました。港からは約20分~30分ほど船に乗り、イルカのいそうな場所へ向かいます。この船も絶景を通るので景色も堪能できます。船長がイルカのいそうな現場を見つけシュノーケル準備。海に飛び込み1分後、早速イルカの大群に遭遇!!!推進7~8メートルくらいを20頭ほどで優雅にゆっくりと泳いでます。こんなにすぐ!という感じでビックリ!一旦群れが去ったので船に戻り、次のスポットへ。2回目が凄く、群れが30~40頭。更にはイルカも上昇してきて、距離はわずか3メートルほど。泣き声も聞こえ、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じでした。ご家族やカップルお友達同士、様々な方にお勧めです。※年に2回ほどは遭遇出来ないとガイドさんがおっしゃってました・・・。

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

Whale Watch

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

We saw whales doing different things. We saw the tails and back of the whales as they swam and they were completely oblivious to us. I was hoping to see whales up close. But the state law does not allow the boat to get close. So they were not really that impressive from that far away.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for your review! We are glad you saw whales! When it is peak season of Whale Watching you are sure to get much closer to them! It is truly an amazing experience. State law does not allow the boat to go towards the whales when they are near, however many times they will come up to the boat and we turn the engines off and that is legal if they come up to your vessel. We have had them 'cruise' around our boats for over an hour! We hope to have you again in the future! Mahalo! Lahaina Cruise Company - Hawaii Ocean Project

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well.

Dream Dolphin Swim!! 夢のドルフィンスイム!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with two friends. It had been my dream to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, so I had high expectations.

On the day of the tour, our guide, Su-san, was very entertaining, and we had a great time in the car on the way there.

Once we got into the water, it took a while for the dolphins to come close, but we were thrilled to see 5 to 8 dolphins swimming right below our group! It was so exciting! Later, when we moved to swim with the fish, we had fun feeding the beautiful tropical fish. I also saw a turtle swimming very close to me (probably within 1 to 2 meters) as it returned to its underwater habitat! That was also incredibly moving! I didn't see it, but I heard there were sea lions as well.

In addition to the dolphins and turtles, the scenery of the surrounding mountains was stunning. The weather was nice, and the divine, quintessentially Hawaiian landscape was absolutely beautiful.

Although it’s not a cheap tour, given the richness of the experience in just half a day, it was worth every penny! I heard there are tours where you can swim with manta rays on the Big Island, so if I get the chance, I definitely want to go! I had such a great time!

友人と3人で参加しました。以前から、ハワイに行ったらドルフィンスイムをするのが夢だったので期待大でした。

当日は、ガイドのすーさんが非常に面白く行きの車の中から楽しかったです。

海に入ってからはなかなかそばにイルカが来てくれなかったのですが、何と、自分たちのグループの真下をスーと5~8匹のイルカが泳いで行ったのを見れました!!大興奮!!
その後移動してお魚たちと泳いだ時も、綺麗な熱帯魚?たちに餌をあげれて楽しかったです。亀も自分のすぐ近く(たぶん1~2メートル範囲)をスーと泳いで、水中のすみか?に帰って行くのを見れました!これも大感動!私は見れなかったですが、アシカもいたとか。
また、イルカや亀だけではなく周辺の山側の景色も素晴らしかったです。天気が良かったこともあり、神々しくハワイらしい景色が非常に良かったです。

決して安いツアーでは無いですが、半日でこの充実ぶりなら惜しくない!!
ハワイ島ではマンタと泳げるツアーもあるとのことでしたので機会があれば絶対行きたいです。本当に楽しかった!!

If you love dolphins ★ イルカ好きなら★

Reviewed by: MMM

Since I participated from Kailua, I headed to the location without a shuttle. There is no tour desk at the site, so be careful as the meeting point is at a specific location. (I ended up going to the tour desk of another tour company.)

Since I used the second boat, we were able to use the large boat from Dolphin University, which was lucky because I got to eat a cheeseburger on the way back. The boat from Dolphin Junior High looked quite small, so that was good, but my friend got seasick and was throwing up, so it's best for those who get motion sickness to take medication before boarding. I also rented a wetsuit for $10. It serves as sunscreen and helps you float to some extent without a life jacket, so I recommend it.

We saw a lot of dolphins on the way to the point. I was excited to see baby dolphins jumping and being quite friendly. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any sea turtles at the point, but we enjoyed snorkeling there. The local staff were fishing.

It was a shame that there was no photographer accompanying us this time, so we didn't have any photos. It seems that a photographer doesn't accompany every trip, so it's a good idea to bring a disposable underwater camera for peace of mind. A friend who brought a waterproof camera seemed to have issues because they didn't have a housing for it, and it stopped working partway through. Also, the storage area under the bench isn't completely waterproof, so I think it's better to bring a beach bag that closes, like one made of vinyl.

On the way back, we saw a sea turtle taking a breath, which completed our mission. If you love dolphins, this is definitely an activity you'll enjoy.

カイルアからの参加だったので送迎なしで現地に向かいました。
現地にツアーデスクはなく、ポイント集合なので注意です。
(別のツアー会社のツアーデスクに行ってしまいました)
2便利用だったためか、戻ってきたイルカ大学の大きな船をそのまま使用できる
ことになり、帰りにチーズバーガーも食べられラッキーでした。
船もイルカ中学はかなり小さそうだったので、良かったですが
それでも友人は船酔いして吐きまくっていたので、酔う人は乗船前に
酔い止めを飲んだほうがベストです。
また、10ドルでウェットスーツも借りました。
日焼け止めにもなるし、ライフジャケットをつけなくてもある程度浮くのでオススメです。

イルカはポイントに向かう途中から沢山見られました。
赤ちゃんイルカもジャンプしたり、かなり友好的な姿に興奮しました。
ウミガメは残念ながらポイントにいっても発見できなかったのですが
そこではシュノーケルを楽しみました。
ロコのスタッフは魚を釣ってました。

今回、カメラマンが同行しなかったので写真が無くて残念でした。
毎回同行するわけではないようなので、使い捨ての水中カメラは持って行ったほうが安心です。防水カメラを持っていった友人はハウスをつけていなかったためか、途中で動かなくなってしまったようでした。
また、荷物入れはベンチの下で完全に防水なわけではないのでビニール製などの口が閉じるビーチバックを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

帰りがけに息継ぎをするウミガメも見られてミッションコンプリートとなりました。
イルカが好きなら絶対楽しめるアクティビティですね。

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

I had the best experience! 最高の経験をさせていただきました!

Reviewed by: SUNAPLE

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの20%ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度(笑)

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで80%満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも2歳、4歳、6歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン!」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。(あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした!!)

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が!!
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて!!大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい(このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・)結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に10ドルでも20ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました!!

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>

I was able to meet a dolphin! イルカに会えました!

Reviewed by: ロブくん

I couldn't swim with the dolphins, but I did get to meet them, and I was able to swim with sea turtles! You can have a great time even if you're not confident in your swimming skills. The tour was packed with activities, including snorkeling with fish.

However, the boat was very rocky. For those who are prone to motion sickness, the level of rocking might be significant enough that taking motion sickness medication won't help. If you go to Hawaii, you should definitely go to the ocean! It's a recommended tour, but please be careful if you get motion sickness...

イルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、イルカに会えましたし、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました!
泳ぎに自信がなくても問題なく楽しめます。魚と一緒にシュノーケリングが出来たりと盛りだくさんのツアーでした。

ただし、船はとっても揺れます。乗り物に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでも意味がないレベルの揺れです。
ハワイに行ったら海に行くべき!オススメのツアーですが、乗り物に酔いやすい方は気を付けてください。。。

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> *48時間前までキャンセル無料

It wasn't conducted with just one person, but... 一人では催行されなかったけれど…

Reviewed by: Empress T

Unfortunately, the tour was not conducted because I was the only one who signed up that day. However, I received information that I could participate in the wild dolphin tour in the morning, so I decided to join. Besides me, there were only two people, a couple, making a total of three participants. I felt a bit nervous about being in the sea after a long time, but once we were out on the water, it felt great. There was an unexpected incident before we entered the water, but it became a good memory of the trip, and I was satisfied to see a family of wild dolphins up close.

Wild dolphins are said to come closer when humans swim joyfully. Therefore, it’s important to swim with a smile and have fun. Also, since they are wild, you must never touch them with your hands. I recommend following these guidelines and enjoying the experience. It will be healing!

 あいにくその日の申し込みが、私一人だけだと言うことで、このツアーは催行されませんでした。しかし、その日の午前中の野生のイルカツアーなら参加できるとの案内をいただき、参加することにしました。参加者は、私の他にはご夫婦ずれの2人で3人だけ。久しぶりの海にやや緊張していましたが、実際海に出るといい感じです。海に入る前に、思いも寄らないハプニングもありましたが、それはそれで旅のいい思い出として、野生のイルカファミリーを極近くで見ることができて満足でした。
 野生のイルカは、人間が楽しく泳いでいると、自分から寄ってきてくれるそうです。だから、楽しそうに笑顔で泳ぐことが大切なのだそうです。また、彼らは野生なので、決して手で触れてはいけないのだそうです。そういう約束事をしっかり守って、楽しんでみてはいかがでしょう。癒されますよ!
