We participated as a family of four. The boarding location was convenient, just a short distance from our stay at the Hilton. Although the scheduled tour was not in Japanese, there were many Japanese participants, and it was helpful that the guide provided explanations in Japanese. The children were also impressed by the underwater scenery and sea turtles they saw from the submarine. This is a tour that you can't experience in Japan, and I highly recommend it.
家族4名で参加しました。乗艦場所が滞在先のヒルトンからすぐで便利でした。参加した時間は、予定では日本語ツアーではなかったのですが、日本人の参加が多く、日本語でガイドしてくれて助かりました。子供たちも潜水艦から見る海底の景色や海ガメに感動していました。日本では体験できないツアーでお勧めです。

The weather was very nice, the water was clear, and we were able to see a lot of fish. We also saw quite a few sea turtles, which made the kids very happy. Since there were many Japanese people on our trip, the guide was in Japanese, which made it easy to understand, and that was great. I didn't get motion sickness, and it was a lot of fun.
とても良い天気で、海の透明度もよく、魚もたくさん見ることができました。

In the summer of 2005, I participated in the Dolphin Discovery Swim at Sea Life Park. It included transportation.
Participants: 8 people in total (3 adults, 3 children, 1 observing adult, 1 toddler)
Children were aged 7, 5, 4, and 2.
10:00 AM - Gathering
11:00 AM - Arrival at Sea Life Park
11:15 AM - Observation of the sea lion show
11:45 AM - Lunch
12:30 PM - Observation of the dolphin pirate show
1:15 PM - Activity begins
3:10 PM - Gathering
4:00 PM - Dismissal
We gathered at the bus stop of the Sheraton Waikiki. We boarded the bus after an uncle shouted, "Sea Life Park!! Mr. ○○!!" He also spoke Japanese. About half of the passengers were foreigners and half were Japanese, filling the large bus in about 8 minutes. Inside the bus, they kept the atmosphere light by alternating between speaking Japanese and English. We headed to Sea Life Park after stopping at two pickup locations.
After arriving, tickets, paper wristbands, and contracts were distributed, and we were dismissed. Some people immediately joined the activities. Since we had time until 1:15 PM, we first went to see the sea lion show. Because there were many small children, we brought our own lunch. We warmed up curry in a retort pouch and rice at the hotel and packed it in an insulated bag. We spread a sheet in the shade and enjoyed our lunch like a picnic. *Light snacks like hot dogs are sold inside Sea Life Park. Afterward, since we had time, we watched the dolphin pirate show.
Finally, the activities began. *We wore our swimsuits from the hotel. After submitting the contract, we watched a Japanese explanatory video. Then, we walked a short distance to the dolphin pool. *At this time, it is essential for observers to accompany the group. Since activities were also happening at the lagoon of the dolphin pirate show, we mistakenly thought we would do the activity there, and the observer ended up waiting there... Of course, there was no time to call them, and we couldn't see them.
When we arrived at the dolphin pool, there was an explanation in English, and a photographer provided additional explanations in Japanese.

I traveled with my husband, but I participated in the Dolphin Adventure by myself. The dolphins were incredibly cute and smart, much more than I had imagined, and it was truly moving. I had three photos taken, and although I thought $16 for the largest one was really expensive, I decided to buy it. The DVD (about 10-15 minutes) was $49, which I thought was too high, so I didn't purchase it, but it seemed like the honeymooners were buying it. The tour lasted 5 hours and I was with the dolphins for about an hour, which went by so quickly. I wanted to spend a bit more time with them, but I guess this is the limit for their health. The person who picked us up was a foreigner, and there was no explanation. I thought I would be told about the meeting place and time for the return trip once we arrived, but instead, it was straight to check-in, changing, watching the dolphin explanation video, and then playing with the dolphins. After that, we were free to explore the park, but there was no explanation about the return meeting time or place, and I couldn't find anyone else who was on the shuttle bus with me, so I ended up taking the bus back to the hotel by myself. I wonder what happened to the others?
旅行には旦那と行きましたが、私1人でドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。イルカ
は想像よりめちゃくちゃ可愛くおりこうで感動でした。写真は3枚撮ってもらいそのうちの1枚(1番大きいサイズ)16ドルで凄く高いと思いましたがおもいきって購入しました。DVD(10~15分位)49ドルこれは高すぎで購入しませんでしたが、ハネムーナーらしき人達は購入してました。5時間30のツアーでイルカと一緒にいられるのは1時間位であっというまでした。もう少し一緒にいたいけど、イルカの体調のためにはこれくらいが限度なのですかね~、送迎してくれた方は外国のかたで、何も説明が無く、向こうについたら帰りの集合場所や時間など言われるのかと思いきや、到着後すぐ受付-着替え-イルカの説明ビデオ見て-イルカと遊んでという具合でその後は園内を自由散策でしたが、帰りの集合時間場所の説明はとうとう無く、一緒に送迎バスに乗った人もみつけられなかったので水族館から1人でThe busに乗ってホテルまで帰りました。他の方々はどうなさったのでしょうか?

I waited at the pickup location, and when the time came and no one showed up, I was a bit worried. However, about 12 or 13 minutes later, a cool bus with a painting of Atlantis arrived. It seemed to be mainly for Japanese tourists, as there were many Japanese customers on board.
While waiting to board the submarine, we took a boat. The pier leading to the boat was very beautiful, and I couldn't help but take some photos. The views from the submarine offered sights that are not usually seen, and my child was very curious, looking out the window.
While the scenery isn't as stunning as I expected, I think it's worth a visit at least once. It's great that children can go for free.

I participated for the first time.
The weather was nice, and the sea was clear.
I was able to see a sea turtle near the sunken ship.
Although the colors of the underwater world turned blue, making it difficult to see the colorful fish, I was glad to encounter such a large sea turtle.
The guide spoke Japanese, which made it easy to understand. I appreciated the detailed explanations, such as how using a flash while filming underwater can hinder the quality of the shots.
初めて参加しました。
天気も良くて海も透き通っていました。
沈没船の近くで海カメにあえました。

The underwater world seen from a submarine is completely different from what you see while snorkeling. Women don't have to worry about their makeup running (laughs), and it's safe for children to enjoy, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.
Whether I would go multiple times is a bit uncertain, though...

I previously experienced "Splash U" twice, and this time I'm trying the dolphin training experience for the third time. For my third visit, I challenged the upgraded version of Splash U, the "Dolphin Discovery Swim," on June 1.
At 8 AM, the driver from Sea Life Park came to pick me up. He only speaks English but is very chatty and cheerful. When passing by the Honolulu Zoo, he always cracks jokes like, "Last time, a tiger escaped," and "Some people got eaten," making everyone laugh. The bus was full this time, with about 70% of the participants being foreigners.
After arriving at the site, we checked in at the entrance and put on optional wristbands. Then we entered and moved to the reception center. (By the way, since the program starts at 9:15, it's better to wear your swimsuit from the hotel beforehand.) The Japanese participants included my family (two adults and one child) and another family of three, totaling six people. Inside, we signed a contract and watched an explanatory video. Then, the Japanese-speaking staff member, KEIKO, provided additional explanations, and we finally moved to the dolphin pool.
Once we arrived, we quickly put on life jackets. During Splash U, we only went into water that was about waist-deep, but this time we went into water that was chest-deep. The children from both families were small (my child is five years old) and participated while being held by their parents. The activities included touching the dolphins, feeding them, and having the dolphins jump in front of us on cue, splashing us with water (laughs). The kids were quite scared of the large dolphins, but they seemed very satisfied after touching them.
During the commemorative photo session, they took pictures of us kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins. This time, not only photos but also video (DVD) was recorded, so I purchased both as keepsakes.
One slight disappointment was that during Splash U, we received a graduation certificate since it was called "Academy," but this time there was none. However, the content itself felt like a complete upgrade rather than just an enhancement. I was satisfied when I participated in Splash U.

I went on June 2nd. It was my first experience on my third trip to Hawaii. Even though I'm not a good swimmer, I felt safe and enjoyed myself wearing a life jacket. The tour guide was Japanese and provided simultaneous interpretation, so I was able to understand the explanations clearly. Each person got to kiss a dolphin, swim while holding onto its fin, and I even heard the dolphin's "kikiki" sound. I was truly satisfied and felt healed. ^^
However, one downside was that I thought, "There's no way to take pictures during this experience." The staff took three photos (one of the dolphin kissing my cheek, one of me kissing its mouth in return, and one of me swimming while holding onto its fin), but they weren't very good... My friend's face wasn't visible at all, and I was told that the photo of me kissing the dolphin in return was missing... I reluctantly gave up and bought just two photos to take home. There was also a DVD of the experience, but it was a bit pricey...
Well, who cares about the photos! I think anyone who just wants to touch dolphins will be satisfied. They were so cute! ☆★☆
6月2日に行ってきました。
ハワイ3度目にしてはじめての経験。泳ぎの苦手な私でもライフジャケットを着てだったので安心して楽しめました。ツアーガイドの方は日本の方で同時通訳をしながらだったので、説明もきちんと受けられました。一人一人イルカとキスしたり、ヒレにつかまって泳ぐことが出来たり、イルカの『キキキ』という声も聞くことが出来たし、本当に大満足で癒されました^^
ただ、難点は、体験して「これじゃ、撮ることは無理だな」とは思ったけど、写真が撮れないこと。スタッフの方が、3枚(イルカがほっぺにチュー、おかえしに口にチュー、ヒレにつかまって泳ぐ)を撮ってくれるのですが、あまり上手ではなく・・・。友達は全く顔が映っていなかったり、私はとったはずなのにお返しに口にチューした写真が無いと言われ・・・。泣く泣くあきらめ2枚だけ買って帰りました。体験中のDVDもありましたがちょっとお高め。。。
ま、写真なんてどうでもいい!イルカととにかく触れたいという方は満足行くと思います。
と~てもかわいかったです☆★☆

I participated with a friend. Since I can't dive, I experienced the deep sea for the first time in this submarine. I was of course amazed to see so many fish up close, but I was surprised to see the colors fade as we went deeper. I couldn't help but laugh a little as my friend's complexion kept getting worse. For those who, like me, find swimming in the ocean a bit scary, I definitely recommend joining this tour. You can experience a mysterious world!
お友達と2名で参加しました。
私はダイビングが出来ないので、こちらの潜水艦ではじめて深海を体験しました。
たくさんのお魚をまじかに見られたのに感動したのはもちろんですが、深度が深くなるにつれ、色が失われていくのにびっくり。友達の顔色がどんどん悪くなっていくのには、ちょっと笑ってしまいました。

We participated as a family of five (husband, wife, a sixth grader, a third grader, and a preschooler). Everyone in the family was impressed with the experience, which exceeded our expectations. We set sail from the pier, and the view from the boat was fantastic. We were in great spirits as we watched the submarine sink and rise from the water. (However, motion sickness medication is a must!) The scenery after boarding the submarine was like a different world, and both the parents and kids were moved by it. The 45 minutes flew by, and I believe it was the best activity. The price changed after booking (it became cheaper due to the minimum guarantee system), but they handled it properly. Of course, the children's tickets for two were free. Thank you so much, Alan!

I participated in Dolphin Adventure. From the beginning, I was really looking forward to swimming with the dolphins. After receiving the explanation, we were ready to swim, but the dolphins' mood... According to the instructor, dolphins are mammals and have feelings. So, when they are not in the mood, they switch them out to avoid forcing them. I realized again that dolphins have feelings too! Finally, we had a dolphin that was ready to swim with us, and we got into the water. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and I was surprised by the strange sensation. The dolphin retrieved the ring I threw, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and I returned the favor. I held onto the dolphin's pectoral fin and swam! I was able to enjoy many things with the dolphins, and time flew by. It was an emotional experience to do something that is not easily available. Additionally, there was an option to purchase photos and DVDs of the experience (a bit pricey...), which became a great memory. It was so much fun!
ドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。はじめから、イルカと泳げることが楽しみで楽しみで。説明を受け、さあ泳ごうとなってからイルカたちの機嫌が・・・。インストラクターの方からの説明で、イルカは哺乳類だから気持ちがあるんです。だから、気分が乗らないときは、無理をさせないように交代させるんです。とのことでした。イルカにも気持ちがあるんだぁ~と改めて感じました。一緒に泳いでくれるイルカがやっと決まり、水の中に。初めてイルカに触ってみて、不思議な感触に驚きました。自分が投げた輪を拾ってきたり、頬にチューをしてくれたり、お返しにしてあげたり、イルカのハラビレにつかまって泳いだり!たくさんのことを通してイルカと楽しむことができ、あっという間に時間がたってしまいました。なかなか体験できないことができ、感動でした。また、その様子を写真やDVDにしての販売もあり(少し高め・・・)、いい思い出になりました。楽しかった!

I don't have many opportunities to ride a submarine, so it was quite nice, right? I also got to see sea turtles, and there were divers too. I think the morning is better because the water is clearer. You can also hear explanations in Japanese. The crew members were really cool. However, the photos they take are expensive (though I guess you don't have to buy them...). It's not easy to participate two or three times, but you should definitely try it at least once.

It may have been a coincidence, but we were the only Japanese people there. Still, there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, so we had no trouble communicating. The children were very excited. While there weren't many beautiful corals or fish, we thoroughly enjoyed the artificial reefs, ship and airplane wrecks, sharks, and sea turtles (there were many). Watching the submarine surface and dive from our boat was impressive. The only issue was that there was no explanation regarding the pick-up of the shuttle bus when returning to the hotel, which caused some confusion afterward. The way it seemed like we couldn't return unless we participated in the coral processing factory tour was disappointing.
たまたまかと思いますが、日本人は我が家だけでした。それでもスタッフの方は、日本語ができる方が何人もいらっしゃいましたので不自由はありませんでした。子供たちは大興奮です。きれいな珊瑚とか魚は余りありませんが、人工漁礁にはじまり、船や飛行機の残骸、鮫に海亀(たくさんいました)と十分楽しめました。自分たちが乗ってる船から、潜水艦の浮上や潜水開始を見るのも迫力です。問題は送迎のバスのピックダウン(ホテルに帰るとき)について説明が無く、終了後困ったことです。珊瑚加工工場ツア−に参加しなければ戻れないように思えるやり方は感心できません。

The instructor who could speak Japanese was translating for the Japanese group from the back. I could understand the instructions, but it was disappointing that I couldn't translate the explanations about the dolphins for my child. My younger son, who is 2 years old, couldn't participate and cried a lot! I want to let him join next time.

I was aware of the existence of submarines, but I hadn't participated due to the high cost. This time, since I was on a budget, I had given up on the idea, but with the free admission for children and the low price, I made an immediate decision to join. This price was the lowest, and I was very satisfied that our family of four could participate for the cost of one adult ticket on other tours. The view of the ocean floor from the submarine was truly beautiful. Since my children are 7 and 5 years old, they can't dive, so the whole family was overjoyed.
潜水艦の存在を知ってはいたものの、料金の高さで参加してませんでした。今回もお金のない旅だったのであきらめていたところ、子供無料制度、加えて料金の安さで即決でした。この値段は最安値で、よそのツアーのおとな一人分で家族4人参加できただけでも大満足でしたが、潜水艦からみた海の底はほんとにきれいでした。子供が7歳と5歳だったので、ダイビングもできないし、家族みんなで大喜びでした。

There were reasonable price slots for the small submarine, but the timing didn't work out, and from 3 PM onwards, it was quite expensive. Since we were staying at the Aston, the children's fare would be refunded, but still... I was worried about seasickness, but it turned out fine. However, on that day, it seemed like there was a lot of sand in the air, which affected visibility. I felt it was artificial as rumored and was left feeling unsatisfied, but the kids were happy.
小型の潜水艇で妥当な値段の時間帯もあったのですが、時間が合わず15時からはかなりお高いものでした。アストンに泊まっていたので、子供料金が返却されますがそれでも・・心配していた船酔いは大丈夫でしたが、当日は砂が舞い上がっているのか視界が悪かった印象です。私には噂どうり人工的な感じで不満が残りましたが、子供は喜んでいました。

It seems that all the tour participants were foreigners due to the online reservation, and the person who picked us up didn't understand any Japanese at all. It appeared that they didn't understand the attractions we had reserved unless we explained them ourselves. Additionally, even though we had arranged for a later return time, there was a miscommunication, and we ended up having to take the bus back, which was quite a hassle.
However, the Dolphin Adventure was truly amazing as we got to interact a lot with the dolphins. It was so much fun to swim while holding onto the dolphins' pectoral fins and to kiss them.
In terms of food, places like this usually don't have much that suits my taste, but the hot dogs and cheese toast were really delicious.
I realized that a basic level of English is necessary.
ネットでの予約のせいかツアー参加者が全員外人でピックアップしてくれた人も日本語まったくわからずで、予約してるアトラクションをこちらから説明しないとわかってなかったみたいでした。それに帰りの車の時間を遅らせて予約したのに、通じてなくて帰りはバスで帰るはめになり大変でした。
でもドルフィンアドベンチャーはイルカとタップリふりあえて本当に最高でした。

I participated in the Dolphin Adventure without transportation on March 17, after seeing Alan. I received a prompt response to my request, which made me feel at ease about joining. It seemed to have been cold until the day before, but the weather was truly beautiful on the day itself. We were divided into two groups, one with eight Japanese and another with seven foreigners, and we interacted with the dolphins in a pool facing the stunning blue sea. Today, the dolphins were in good condition, and my wife and daughter were looking forward to swimming with them. The dolphins turned upside down, and finally, my wife and daughter got to hold onto their pectoral fins (it wasn't the tail fin that day) for a rendezvous. Everyone got to swim with the dolphins. I captured my wife and daughter's amazing smiles on video! As for me? I ended up being the videographer, not expecting to have so much fun. I regretted not participating in such a wonderful activity! The photos available for purchase were also beautifully taken, but they were a bit pricey. I also heard that dolphins can be less energetic in lower temperatures.
ALANを見てドルフィンアドベンチャーの送迎なしコースに3月17日参加しました。リクエスト後、すぐに回答が頂け安心して参加することができました。前日まで寒かったようですが、当日は本当に良い天気で海の青さが際立つ海に面したプールで日本人8人、外国人7人の2グループに別れ、イルカとの触合い。今日はイルカの体調がいい。という事で一緒に泳げるのを妻と娘が期待していました。そしてイルカがひっくり返った格好になり、とうとう胸ヒレ(当日は尾びれではありませんでした)につかまってランデブー。一人一人全員がイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。妻と娘の最高の笑顔をばっちりビデオに納めました!えっ、僕?そうです、こんなに楽しそうとは思わずについビデオ係となってしまいました。こんなに素敵なアクティビティなら参加すれば良かった!と後悔しまくり。購入用の写真も素敵に取れていました。が、少々高め。後、聞いた話では、気温が低いとイルカも元気がないそうです。

I participated on March 15, 2005. The lunch was a buffet style and, as usual, it wasn't very delicious. We cruised offshore past Diamond Head looking for whale mother and calf splashes, and I was able to witness many pods, which was a very moving scene. I was very satisfied with the tour itself.
Although we didn't see any breaching, we did see two fluke-up dives, and there were cheers on the boat. I definitely think this activity is a recommended tour. As for the meal, I'm not sure...
Alan is indeed cheap, but I felt a bit anxious about potential troubles if you don't have a certain level of English. This time, my youngest child forgot their sunglasses on the shuttle bus, but unfortunately, they never turned up. It's quite disappointing since we liked them a lot. When booking through Alan, individuals have to negotiate directly with the local operating company, and if you can't speak English, you won't be able to communicate the details. I think if you go through the local tour desk that speaks Japanese, they will usually manage to help you. I believe there shouldn't be any issues if you can speak a little English... Alan is very affordable, and I plan to continue using it in the future. First, I want to study English a bit more.
2005年3月15日に参加してきました。昼食はバイキング形式で例によってあまり美味しくはありませんでした。ダイヤモンドヘッドの先の沖合いでクジラ親子ののスプラッシュを探してクルーズしましたが、何頭もの群れに遭遇出来てとても感動的なシーンを見る事が出来ました。ツアー自体には大変満足出来ました。
ブリーチングは見れませんでしたが、フルークアップダイブは2回見れ、船内では歓声が沸き起こっていました。このアクティビティ絶対お勧めのツアーだと思います。食事に関しては???ですが。
アランは確かに安いですが、ある程度英語が出来ないと何かトラブルが起きた時の不安を感じました。今回も一番下の子供が送迎のバスの中にサングラスを忘れてしまいましたが、結局それは出て来ませんでした。大変気に入っていただけに残念です。アランで申し込んだ場合、現地の催行会社に個人が直接交渉しなくてはならず英語が出来ないと細かい事は申し伝えられません。現地の日本語の通じるツアーデスク経由で申し入れれば大抵はなんとかしてくれるとは思います。英語が多少出来れば何ら問題は無いと思いますが・・・。アランは金額的には大変安く今後も利用していこうと思っています。まずは英語の勉強をもう少ししたいと思います。

I participated on March 14th. I was able to interact a lot with the dolphins, and I was very satisfied with the photos and videos taken with them. However, the photos and DVD might be a bit expensive... I couldn't take any pictures myself.
3月14日に参加しました。
イルカと沢山触れ合えたし、イルカとの写真やビデオを撮ってくれたりと大満足です。
でも、写真とDVDはちょっと高いかも…。
自分では写真が撮れなかったし。

I think participating in this tour was a great decision. The underwater exploration in Hawaii, with its clear and beautiful cobalt blue waters, is truly unique to Hawaii. We were also lucky to see resting and swimming turtles, which was a wonderful experience. It became a great memory for both of us.
However, I found out that (1) if you book this tour locally, it costs around $65 to $66, which is significantly cheaper than what we paid through the company. (2) After disembarking, we were taken to a place with coral, but it turned out to be a jewelry sales pitch, which felt a bit off. I think everyone would have had a better impression if we had gone directly to our intended destination without that stop.
本ツアーに参加し大変良かったと思います。
ハワイの海底探検、澄み切ったきれいなコバルトブルー、の中これはハワイならではと思います。
そして運良く、休んでいる亀、泳いでいる亀が見られた事ラッキーでした。
夫婦共良い思い出となりました。
ただ(1)本ツアーは現地で申し込むと65~66ドルと当社よりはるかに安い事判明した。
(2)下船後さんごの所へ連れて行ってもらいましたが行った先はジュエリーの
売りつけ、何か釈然としません、これがなく直接行きたい所迄の送迎の方が皆さん
印象良かったと思いますが・・・・。

I participated with my mother! I was anxious because I can't swim, but I was okay thanks to the life jacket. My mother, in her 50s, seemed more anxious than I was, but once it started, she had a great time! Since we participated in the first session of the morning, the water was extremely cold, but I forgot all about that because the dolphins were so cute and it was so much fun! One slight disappointment was that the content changed depending on the dolphins' mood, and it took a long time to take photos, which confused me because the staff at the shop were saying different things. However, all the trainers were very kind! If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to make time to participate in this tour.
私は母と2人で参加しました!私は泳げないので不安だったのですがライフジャケットで浮くので大丈夫でした母は50代なので私より不安そうでしたが始まったら凄く楽しんでくれてました!!朝一番ので参加したので水が物凄く冷たかったのですがそんな事も忘れるくらいイルカが可愛く楽しかったです!!少し残念だったのがイルカのご機嫌で内容が変わってしまった事と写真が出来るのに凄く時間がかり売店の人達がここに違う事を言うので戸惑いました・・・だけどトレーナーの人達は皆親切でした!!またハワイに行ったら時間を作ってでもこのツアーに絶対参加したいです。

I participated on February 13th. I was really moved by my long-awaited interaction with the dolphins! When I attended, there were three Japanese staff members, which made me feel very secure about participating.
I was able to hold onto the dorsal fin and swim for just a few seconds, but there were plenty of other opportunities to interact, so I was fully satisfied. However, it was disappointing that I couldn't take photos with my own camera. They do have a photographer who takes pictures that you can purchase, but I found it expensive—about $25 for three prints of the same shot in different sizes—so I didn't buy them.
Since Sea Life Park is a bit far, I recommend heading out early. Even if you arrive early, you can watch the dolphin show, so you’ll have plenty of time to fill. I took the Blue Line trolley bus to get there. You can also ask the staff at the entrance for the bus schedule for your return trip, so you’ll be fine.
2/13に参加してきました☆
念願のイルカとのふれあいでかなり感動しました!
私が参加した時は、日本人のスタッフが3人いたので
すごく安心して参加できてよかったです。
背びれにつかまって泳げるのはほんの数秒でしたが
それ以外にも、触れ合える時間がたくさんあったので
充分満足でした。
ただ、一緒に自分のカメラで撮影することはできなかったのが
残念でした。一応、向こうのカメラマンが撮影してくれた写真を
購入できるのですが1ショットを違うサイズで3枚現像された
物が確か25ドルぐらいしたので私は高くて購入しませんでした。
シーライフパークは少し遠いので早めに出かけられることをおすすめします。
早く着いてもイルカのショーを見たりできるので時間は充分に潰せます。
私は、トロリーバスのブルーラインで行きました。
帰りのバスの時間もシーライフパークの入り口の係員に聞けば時刻表を
もらえるので大丈夫です。

I went to train dolphins. I was in charge of the video while my husband and children participated, and the staff were very kind, providing detailed information about the dolphin and sea lion show times, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without wandering around the Sea Life Park. The weather was bad and it was a bit chilly, but we had a valuable experience, and the kids were thrilled. By the way, I have a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old boy, and I was a little worried they might get scared and cry, but the staff provided one-on-one support, which made me feel at ease. We took a commemorative photo with the dolphin, but it was a bit disappointing that their expressions were a little stiff since we took the photo right after interacting with the dolphin. Overall, it was definitely a plan that I felt was worth participating in. I would love to go again if I have the opportunity.
イルカの調教に行ってきました。私はビデオがかりで、主人と子供たちが参加しましたが、スタッフの方もとても親切でイルカ・アシカのショーの時間なども細かく教えてくれたので、シーライフパーク内でもウロウロすることなく十分楽しめました。天気が悪く雲っていたので、少し寒がっていましたが貴重な体験ができて子供たちも大喜びです。ちなみに6歳と4歳の男の子で、怖がって泣きはしないかと少し心配しましたが、スタッフの方がマンツーマンで付いていてくれたので、安心しました。イルカと記念写真を撮ってくれましたが、イルカと触れ合ってすぐに撮るので表情がすこしこわばっていたのが残念です。全体的には参加して良かったと絶対思えるプランでした。機会があればもう一度行ってみたいです。

I participated with my 4-year-old and 5-year-old daughters in mid-January. I was really looking forward to it since you can't touch dolphins in Japan. I made a reservation in advance with Alan, and on the day of the event, the Sea Life Park bus picked us up at the hotel on time, and we arrived at the location without any issues. The dolphins were so cute, and the kids were thrilled. They got to touch the dolphins' backs, feed them, and even touch their teeth when they opened their mouths. The dolphins showed us various movements on command. I was a bit worried since I had small children with me, but it was reassuring that the staff on site were Japanese. The kids made some wonderful memories. I hope that when they are a bit older, we can join a tour to swim with the dolphins.
One thing, the dolphin cart was a bit difficult to handle, even though the kids enjoyed it.
1月中旬に4歳と5歳の娘と参加しました。日本ではイルカに触ることなんて出来ないのでとっても楽しみにしていました。事前予約をアランちゃんで済ませ、当日ホテルに定刻でシーライフパークバスのお迎えがあり、何事もなく現地に到着できました。イルカはとってもかわいくて、こどもも大喜びで、イルカの背を触ったり、えさをあげたり、口を空けてくれたとき歯を触ったり、こちらの指示でいろんな動きを見せてくれました。小さな子供連れだったので心配でしたが、現地スタッフが日本人の方でしたので安心できました。子供達にとってとてもいい思い出ができました。もう少し大きくなったら、イルカと泳ぐツアーに参加できたらいいなと思います。
1つだけ、イルカのカートは子供は喜びましたが、扱いに大変でした。

It was a rare experience♪ Also, the narrator entertained us quite well. However, I was a little disappointed by the lack of vitality in the Hawaiian sea. Maybe it was due to the ocean currents or the lava... The sea itself was incredibly clear, almost transparent, and I was moved by how beautiful the water was. Even though I dove down to the seabed, I could see the fish with just natural light. My heart raced when I saw sea turtles and sleeping sharks. It seems there are similar submarines in other seas, so I would like to try that too~
珍しかった♪あと、ナレーションのおあねーさんが、中々楽しませてくれましたよ。
しかし、ハワイの海って生命力の無さに少しだけがっかりしました。
海流の所為か、溶岩の所為か・・・
海自体は、すけるようで凄く水が綺麗で感動しました。海底まで潜ったのに自然光だけで魚が見れました。
海亀や、眠り鮫を見たときには心躍りますよ。
違う海でも同じ潜水艦があるみたいなので、それも乗ってみたいかな~
