Hawaii
It was an early morning tour, and I was really worried that the water would be cold, but surprisingly, once I got in, it wasn't that cold at all. From the moment I saw the sharks, I was completely captivated (laughs). However, the boat was really rocky, so snorkeling didn't make much sense (laughs). I took motion sickness medicine, so I didn't feel seasick at all, and when we boarded, no one felt unwell. I was satisfied with the number of sharks we saw! However, because of the rocking, I couldn't take very nice photos~ ★ It’s expensive, but buying the DVD might be a good idea~. We did (laughs). Since it's something you can't do often, it's worth it (^^)/ I recommend it for those looking for excitement~ (^◇^).
朝早いツアーだったのと、水が冷たいんじゃないかとそれがすごく心配だったが、意外と入ってしまえばそこまで寒くもなく、もうシャークが見えた瞬間から夢中(笑)ただ揺れがすごいからシュノーケルはあまり意味なし(笑)酔い止め飲んでたからまったく船酔いもせずにうちらが乗ったときは誰一人として具合悪い人いなかった。かなりの数のシャーク見れて満足!ただやっぱり揺れがすごいから写真はあまりきれいにとれなかったな~★高いけどDVD買うのがいいかも~。うちらはかった(笑)なかなかできないことだからやる価値はあり(^^)/刺激が欲しい人にはおススメ~(^◇^)
We experienced this with five children aged 5, 4, 3, and 2 during a family trip. Each child had one adult accompanying them, entering the water together (with the water depth around the adult's waist), and there was one trainer for each group.
At the trainer's signal, we called the dolphins, and they showed us various tricks. We were also able to touch the dolphins. The trainer taught us how to pose for photos, and a dedicated photographer took pictures for us.
The adults were even more impressed by being so close to the dolphins than the children! (laughs)

写真のポーズの仕方など教えてもらい、専属のカメラマンが、写真を撮ってくれます。
子供以上に大人が間近にいるイルカに感動しました!笑
I was told that breakfast was not allowed on this course. It wasn't particularly extravagant, so I don't think it was a waste, but the sign was misleading.
このコースでは朝食を食べてはいけないと言われました。別に豪勢な料理でも無かったので勿体無いとは思いませんが、看板に偽りありでした。
We had a great time on the submarine! Our guide was the best.
It seems it was too early for whale watching. The participants seemed to mainly enjoy the sunset and the meal on the sea. The driver for the pick-up, the receptionist, and the captain were all very pleasant. I would like to try again around March when the whales are out.

Like most things on maui, they are expensive for what they are, especially the tourist items. We found a discount early bird package and I think w paid just under $50 for two of us. We also tipped the crew $5 and paid for our picture $20...like real tourists do. Both the top and particularly the picture were optional but I got roped into it. It was early in the season also, just the start of the whale season. We did spot a few whales but they were a bit far away and hard to see. We were able to see a few from shore as well, but of course, even farther away. the weather was flawless and there is no reason that I saw not to take the early morning package for the reduced price. I would definitely try to sit up front in the future, but we sat in the back. The issue being best view, but there is enough to look at with the sides and rear that even the back is more than tolerable. We took some photos, which only included little blips of whales off in the distance. I think I would target this venue for prime season to be sure to see more. My understanding is about 4000-8000 whales will congregate.. We saw maybe 5.
I probably wouldn't have chosen this if it were an adult-only trip, but since this was a trip with my grandchildren, I participated in this tour that my one-year-old grandchild could uniquely experience.
I had seen comments saying, "It's not as big as expected," so I didn't have high expectations for the scale and instead enjoyed the animals that we could see and touch up close. Touching a dolphin was, I believe, my first and last experience, and my five-year-old grandchild was overjoyed. It might have been a bit too early for my one-year-old grandchild (who didn't seem scared but disliked the life jacket). The location is also fantastic.
I purchased the commemorative photos as data, but there was a problem where they weren't included on the CD I brought back. However, the staff at Sea Life Park and the staff at Veltra, whom I asked for help, were very kind and assisted me in obtaining the data successfully.
大人だけの旅行でしたらたぶん選択しなかったと思いますが、今回は孫たちとの旅行だったので1歳の孫が唯一体験できるこのツアーに参加致しました。
「期待するほどの規模ではない」との書き込みを見ていたので、規模には期待することなく、間近で見られるそして触れる動物たちを楽しみました。
イルカに触れたのは、私にとって最初で最後の体験だと思いますし、5歳の孫も大喜びでした。1歳の孫にはやはり早すぎたかも。(怖がるのではなくライフジャケットを嫌がっていました)ロケーションも最高です。
記念写真をデータで購入したのですが、持ち帰ったCDに入っていないというトラブルがありましたが、シーライフパークのスタッフの方々、そして助けを求めたベルトラさんのスタッフの方にご親切に対応して頂き、無事データを入手致しました。
Given the early season we had low expectations on whale spotting, but we were at least looking forward to a great boat ride on the ocean. And we sure got that.
After about 20 minutes we spotted the first whale air blowout and there were many more. Finally two North Pacific Hump Back whales surfaced and dove down again, showing their tailfins. Great experience, great weather, great boat trip.
I have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and I was really glad to see so many dolphins at once and to swim with them. They were close enough that I could see their eyes! I was also happy to meet a turtle and a stingray. The staff were kind and cheerful, and I definitely want to participate again!
イルカと泳ぎたいとずっと思っていましたが、こんなにたくさんのイルカを一度に見ることができ、一緒に泳ぐことができて本当によかったです。イルカの視線がわかるほど近くでした!カメもエイにも会えてよかったです。スタッフの方も優しくて、明るくて、是非また参加したいです!
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
It was my first time whale watching, and it happened to be the first day of the season. Despite the light rain and high waves, I was starting to think it might not happen when a whale appeared. It was just a brief sighting, but I was lucky.
What surprised me even more was that all the staff and participants were foreigners. There were only two Japanese people, my wife and me. The foreign staff were chatting away before we set sail, but I couldn't understand a word.
Also, there was a couple with a 6-week-old baby and a 4-year-old child among the guests, and both of them were drinking champagne as soon as we set off. That’s something you wouldn't see in Japan. It was full of surprises!
人生初のホエールウォッチング、しかも今シーズン初日との事。
小雨降る中、波も高く、うーんだめかなって思ってたら、クジラ君現れました。
ほんのチョットでしたが、運が良かったです。
その他にびっくりしたのが、スタッフも参加者も全部外人。日本人は私と家内の2人のみ、スタッフの外人さんが出航前に色々喋ってるけど、ちんぷんかんぷん。全く分かんない。
あと、お客の中に生後6週間の赤ちゃんと4歳の子供を連れた夫婦もいましたが、彼ら2人とも出航と同時にシャンパン飲みっぱなし。日本じゃありえないね。
びっくりポンだらけでした
It was early December, but we didn't see any whales at all. However, it was a relief to see dolphins. I wished we had a fish finder. For those who get seasick, please be careful as the boat is small and wobbly. When we can't see any whales, I would appreciate a voucher for the next time.
12月上旬でしたが全くクジラは見えませんでした。しかし、イルカが見れたのは救いでした。魚群探知機でもあればいいのにと思いつつ。船酔いをする方は船が小さめで揺れるので気をつけてくださいね。クジラが見れないときは次回サービス券ぐらい欲しいものです。
The experience of interacting with dolphins was great, and the instructor was friendly. Given the scale and content of the facility, I think it would be fine to shorten the experience by about an hour since there is extra time. For those who don't interact with the dolphins, it feels too long, and I saw several people sleeping in the restaurant chairs.
イルカと触れ合う体験、インストラクターはフレンドリーで良かった。
園内の規模、内容からして 時間が余るので1時間くらい短縮してもいいと思う。イルカと触れ合いない人には長すぎるし、レストランの椅子で寝てる人を数組見た。
It was my first time playing in the water with dolphins so closely, and it was really fun (^_^)v At the end, swimming with the dolphins was an exciting and surprising experience. I want to take my kids next time!
初めてイルカとそんな近い距離で、一緒に水遊びして、とても面白かった(^_^)v最後イルカと一緒に泳いで、ドキドキしてすごく驚きの体験でした。今度子供を連れて行きたい〜
I was skeptical about whether we would really see whales, but we encountered many of them. The whale tails visible from the sea were truly adorable.
本当に鯨が見られるか半信半疑でしたが、沢山の鯨たちにあえました。
海から見える鯨のしっぽは本当にかわいかったです
Thank you for joining us on the Navatek for whale watching.
We are very pleased to hear that you encountered many whales. In winter in Hawaii, you can also see many baby whales, so you can catch a glimpse of their cute tails.
We look forward to having you on board again.

My son loves fish, and every time we go to Hawaii, he participates in snorkeling and submarine tours, but this time we joined a sea bob tour. I was a bit worried because I had my 75-year-old mother and 10-year-old son with me, but the underwater scenery in Hawaii was absolutely amazing. The sea bob had food attached to it, which attracted a lot of fish, and both of them were thrilled. It was my first experience too, and I was deeply moved by the clarity of the water and the cute fish! I definitely want to participate again!
However, we had to take a small boat to the diving point, and there was a waiting time of about 10 to 15 minutes while three people dove at a time. The boat was rocking quite a bit while anchored, so many people got seasick. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine. I think even those who usually don’t get seasick should bring some along.
息子が大の魚好きで、毎回ハワイに行くとシュノーケルや潜水艦のツアーに参加していたんですが、今回はシーボブに参加しました。
75歳の母と10歳の息子がいたのでちょっと不安でしたが、ハワイの海中はとても素晴らしく、シーボブに餌が付いているので沢山のお魚たちが寄ってきてくれ、二人とも大はしゃぎでした。私も初体験でしたが海の透明感とかわいいお魚たちに触れて大感動!
また参加したいと思います!
ただ、潜るポイントまで小型の船で行き、三人ずつ10~15分潜っている間の待ち時間があり、停泊している船が結構揺れるので船酔い者続出でした。
私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。普段酔わない方も持って行った方が良いと思います。
When we arrived in Hawaii at 7:00 AM on November 21, 2015, it was raining heavily. The next day, on the 22nd, and on the 23rd, there were light showers in the morning, which made us anxious as we boarded the bus for the private Dolphin Middle School.
As we made our way to the port, we listened to the instructions from Mr. Takao of Dolphin School. Initially, everyone seemed a bit grumpy and anxious, but as he started talking, suddenly there was a downpour (T ^ T). I imitated Tetsuya Takeda, saying, "Alright! Please listen carefully to the teacher's talk!" and it seemed to ease everyone's worried expressions a little. Just as we were nearing the port, the sky began to brighten (^ ^). It felt as if our prayers had been answered!
As we quickly boarded the Zodiac and set off to find the dolphins, the rain stopped and the weather cleared up! Near the port, the water was murky and brown, ruining the beauty of Hawaii's ocean. However, about ten minutes later, we spotted a pod of dolphins! They swam right next to the Zodiac. Although the water's clarity was poor and we couldn't see them clearly, we could see the shadows of the dolphins passing by.
The captain confirmed the direction of the dolphins and gave the go-ahead to jump in! We quickly entered the water, and Mr. Takao called out his famous line, "Look down! Look down!" We confirmed that a pod of dolphins was swimming through the murky water! After seeing the dolphins move on, we got back on the boat to search for them again.
Unfortunately, we had to wait for the pod to emerge from the murky water, and when the captain gave the go-ahead, everyone said they could faintly see them, but all I could see was the murky water (T ^ T).
This time, we were able to see them, but we were ultimately defeated by the wild dolphins and the power of nature. Thank you to the teacher, the captain, and all the staff. I hope to participate again. Next time, I want to see them under a blue sky and in clear water.
2015年11月21日AM7:00にハワイへ到着したらダーダーの雨、翌日22日も、、23日も朝から小雨がパラパラと不安になりながら私立イルカ中学のバスに乗り込みました。
イルカ学校のタカオ先生に注意事項を聞きながら港まで進みました。
最初はなんだか不機嫌そうな感じで参加者のみんなも不安そうな中話を始めましたが、途中急に大雨(T ^ T)ジャンジャン降りで「はい!先生の話をよ〜〜く聞いてください」と武田鉄矢をまねてみんなの不安そうな顔も少しほぐれてきたのか、港に着く間際に空が明るくなってきたでわありませんか(^ ^)みんなの祈りが通じたかのごとくでした!
早速ゾディアックに乗って目的のイルカを目指し出港した時には雨も上がり晴天になって来ました!
港の近く、浜辺近くは水が濁って茶色になってハワイの美しい海が台なしでした。
そう言って10分くらいでイルカの群れ発見‼︎イルカたちがソディアックすぐそばまで来て泳いでいました。海の透明度が悪くハッキリは見えませんがイルカの魚影が過ぎていくのを見れました。
船長がイルカの方向を確認し「ここで飛び込め!」のゴーサインが出ました!
早速入水しタカオ先生が「下見て!下見て!」の名物コール!濁った海の中にイルカの群れが通るのを確認しました!
イルカの群れが移動したのを見ると再度船に乗り込みイルカの群れを探しました。
残念ながらイルカの群れが濁った海の中から出てくるのを待ち船長のゴーサイン!みんなはかすかに見えたそうですが私には濁った海しか(T ^ T)
今回はとりあえず見ることができましたがやはり野生のイルカと自然の猛威に完敗でした。
先生、船長、スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。
また参加できたらよろしくお願いします。次回はブルースカイ&透き通った海でみたいです。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
This is EXCELLENT!!! When my brother went back to the hotel he kept raving about it.....how excellent his experience was...and how very supportive the divers were.
AWESOME!!!
The pickup in Oita was a bit late, but they contacted me properly. The weather was nice, and I was able to see manta rays. The guide was kind, and it was a lot of fun. If I could wish for something, it would be that it was a bit cheaper, but that might be difficult...
大分迎えが遅れましたがきちんと連絡はくれました。天気が良くてマンタも見られ、
ガイドさんも親切で楽しかった
です。欲を言えばもう少し安いと嬉しいですが難しいかな。。。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please join us again; we look forward to seeing you.
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。また是非ご参加下さい。お待ちしております。
We are a young couple, 21 & 20! The staff were the friendliest people we have come across in Hawaii! The experience itself was worth every cent! Fish came right up to us, you can even touch them! Highly recommend!
Staff were amazing and made the adventure perfect. Awesome experience shared with my nephew. Coming back to Hawaii in April and will be doing this again for 3rd time! Sea was really rough but made it all so much more fun, was given option to change days or refund but so glad we decided to go ahead, was a fabulous day.
My husband and I participated in the first morning session. I was a bit anxious about whether our reservation was confirmed, but we were picked up on time by a car with a big shark picture on it ( ˊᵕˋ ). It was tough getting up at 5:30 AM, though (laughs).
After about an hour's drive, we arrived and boarded the boat!!! The crew didn't speak any Japanese, so we read the instructions in Japanese. Even though they couldn't speak Japanese, they communicated well through gestures, so it wasn't a problem at all♪ On the way to the shark spot, they playfully startled us with shark dolls and checked to see if we were feeling okay; they were really nice people.
When we reached the spot, there were so many sharks on the surface!!! Since our turn was third, we watched the sharks swimming around. The journey to the spot was fine, but once the boat stopped, I started to feel a bit seasick (laughs). It seemed like everyone else felt the same way (laughs). We didn't get to the point of throwing up, but a few people did look like they were struggling (;▽;).
However, when it was our turn, our excitement took over, and the seasickness disappeared! The sharks we saw right in front of us were absolutely beautiful! They didn't bump into the cage, just swimming around it gracefully (*˘︶˘*). There were more than ten sharks♪ But some people inside the cage looked a bit seasick and unwell (;▽;). I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to motion sickness (;▽;).
But it was an incredibly valuable experience!!!
旦那と二人で朝イチの部で参加しました。
ちゃんと予約できてるか不安でしたが、時間通りにサメの絵が大きく載った車でお迎えにきてもらいました( ˊᵕˋ )朝5:30でさすがにつらかったですが(笑)
車で1時間ほどで到着し、船に乗って出発!!!
クルーのみなさんは全く日本語はしゃべれないので、日本語表記の注意書きを読みました。日本語はしゃべれないけど、ジェスチャーなどで伝わるのでぜんぜん問題ありませんでした♪サメがいるスポットまでの道のりもサメの人形で脅かしてきたり、具合悪くないかとか気にかけてくれてとても良い人たちでした。
ポイントについたら水面にたくさんのサメが!!!
私達夫婦の順番は3番目だったので、水面のサメを見たりしてました。
ポイントまでの道のりは全然平気でしたか、船が止まるとすこーしずつ酔ってきました(笑)みなさんそんな感じでした(笑)私たちは吐くまではなかったけど、何人かは吐いていてつらそうでした(;▽;)
でも自分たちの番になるとテンションが上がり、船酔いなんて吹っ飛びました!
目の前で見えるサメたちはとても美しかったです!檻にぶつかってくるなんて危険な事はなく、檻のまわりをぐるぐると泳いでる感じです(*˘︶˘*)10匹以上いました♪でも中には檻の中で波酔いして、具合悪そうな方もいました(;▽;)酔いやすいかたはオススメ出来ないですね(;▽;)
でもすごく貴重な体験が出来ました!!!
The highlight of this trip to Hawaii was definitely this experience. The explanations were easy to understand, and it became a wonderful memory. While waiting for our turn to use the scooter, we enjoyed feeding fish from the boat and had the freedom to go snorkeling, making the wait enjoyable. The videos and photos turned out beautifully, creating the best memories.
今回のハワイ旅行の1番の楽しみでした。
説明もわかりやすく、とてもいい思い出になりました。スクーターの順番待ちの間は、ボートから魚にエサをあげたりシュノーケリングが自由に出来たりと、待ち時間も楽しく過ごせました。
動画&写真も綺麗にとれていて最高の思い出となりました。
My daughter, who loves the ocean, wanted to participate in a snorkeling experience with dolphins! I read reviews and didn't expect much when they said you swim with dolphins, as I thought they would just pass by below while snorkeling. However, I was amazed because I saw them clearly three times when I jumped in! They swam close to the boat, and I could also see them jumping in the distance, which was great! We were lucky to spot something that looked like a whale on the way there too!
When I asked my husband, who usually doesn't get very emotional, what he enjoyed the most in Hawaii, he said, "I got a bit tired from swimming, but it was probably the dolphins..." so I think he really enjoyed it. Just keep in mind that even though it's called snorkeling, you have to chase after the dolphins when they come, so it can be tough for those who aren't good swimmers, and if you fall behind, you might miss seeing them. If you can swim normally, you'll be fine. If we get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would love to join this tour again! (*^^*)
海が大好きな娘の希望でイルカとシュノーケルに参加しました!
口コミを見てイルカと泳ぐ・・・と言ってもシュノーケルしてる下の方をイルカが一瞬で通り過ぎるだけそれほど期待してはいなかったけど3度飛び込んで3度とも見えたし下の方でしたがはっきり見えたので感動でした!
ボートのそばを泳いでくらたり遠くではジャンプする姿も見え良かったです♪
行く途中で鯨らしき物も見えたのでラッキーでした!
普段あまり感動しない旦那さんに『ハワイで何が一番楽しかった?』と聞いたら『泳ぐのにちょっと疲れたけどイルカかな・・・』と言っていたのでよほど楽しかったと思います。
ただシュノーケルと言ってもイルカが来たら追いかけるように着いていかなければいけないので泳ぎの得意ではない人は大変だし遅れると見えない事もあります。
ふつうに泳げるなら大丈夫です。
もしまたハワイに行けることがあれば参加したいツアーです。(*^^*)
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
It's the best! You can easily enjoy it even without scuba gear or if you're a beginner at scuba diving! Large and colorful tropical fish gather around and peck food right from your hand! You absolutely must experience it at least once.
スキュウバーの用具無しで、またスキュウバーの素人でも簡単に楽しめちゃう、最高!!
大きな、そしてカラフルな熱帯の魚達が群がる様に寄って来て目の前で手から餌を啄むですよ!!
絶対に一度は体験すべし
I was so excited about my first trip to Hawaii that I forgot to call the dolphin desk after arriving at the hotel, but I managed to get in touch the night before and was able to join the tour without any issues.
The meeting time was 6 AM. It was still dark, with the sun not yet risen, when we were picked up by a bright yellow bus. I was quite sleepy and thought I would take a nap on the way, but the student council president (the guide) gave a detailed and entertaining explanation about the port we were heading to, the types of dolphins we might see, important notes, and equipment, all while incorporating some impersonations. As a result, I didn’t get a second of sleep during the approximately one-hour ride to the port.
We boarded a high-speed boat to search for dolphins, and it was so much fun! The boat sped along just above the water's surface, bouncing over large waves, making me forget for a moment that we were searching for dolphins. We got splashed with water, so it was cold regardless of the water temperature. I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I didn’t feel the chill, but my husband, without a wetsuit, seemed to be quite cold.
The boat went all the way from Waianae to beyond Ko Olina, but we didn’t find any dolphins. We returned to Waianae, but still no dolphins. The student council president's face started to look more and more worried. As the tour was nearing its end without anyone having entered the water, and just when everyone was starting to give up, the student council president made a surprising suggestion.
After checking the participants' plans, and since no one was in a hurry to return, we decided to continue searching for dolphins! This time, we headed north to Makua Beach. There, we found dolphins! We immediately jumped into the water and were able to swim with seven dolphins.
After that, we enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles at another spot before returning to the port, where we were taken back to the hotel. We arrived an hour later than scheduled, but I was really glad to have been able to swim with the dolphins.
In a typical tour, I think it would have ended with, "We didn’t see any this time. It can’t be helped since they are wild dolphins." But Dolphin Middle School was different.
I am truly grateful to the student council president and the crew for not giving up and continuing to search for dolphins until the end.
初めてのハワイ旅行にすっかり舞い上がり、ホテル到着後イルカデスクに電話連絡することを忘れてしまいましたが、前日の夜に連絡をとることができ、無事ツアーに参加できました。
集合は朝6時。まだ朝日も昇っておらず暗い中、鮮やかな黄色いバスでピックアップ。かなり眠たかったので、行きのバスで仮眠を…と思っていましたが、生徒会長(=ガイドさん)より、これから行く港の場所や、見られるイルカの種類、諸注意、装備につい等々、モノマネを交えながら面白く細かく説明されるため、港に到着するまでの約1時間、寝る時間は1秒もありませんでした。
港から高速船に乗ってイルカを探すのですが、この船が楽しい!海面スレスレをビュンビュン飛ばして進み、大波を越える時は大きくバウンドして、イルカを探していることを一瞬忘れます。水しぶきを浴びながら進むので、水温に関係なく寒いです。私は$10でウェットスーツを借りていたので感じませんでしたが、ウェットスーツなしの主人はかなり寒かったようです。
船はワイアナエからコオリナの先まで進みましたが、イルカ発見ならず。ワイアナエまで戻るも、やはりイルカはいない。生徒会長の顔もだんだん曇ってきます。一度も海に入ることなくツアー終了の時間が近づき、誰もが諦めかけたとき、生徒会長からの意外な提案が。
ツアー参加者にこの後の予定を確認し、特に急いで帰りたい人がいなかったため、イルカ探しを続行することに!今度は北へ船を進ませマクアビーチへ。そこでイルカ発見!すぐさま海へ入り、7頭のイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
その後、別のポイントでウミガメとシュノーケリングを楽しんでから帰港し、ホテルへと送迎してもらいました。予定より1時間も遅れての到着となりましたが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたので本当に良かったです。
普通のツアーなら「今回は見られませんでした。野生のイルカだから仕方ないですね。」で終了だと思いますが、イルカ中学は違いました。
最後まで諦めずにイルカを探してくれた生徒会長やクルーの皆さんに感謝、感謝です。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was great to meet the dolphin instructors! We look forward to your next visit!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。イルカ先生達と会えて良かったです!!またのご参加をお待ちしております!
I was thrilled to see the whale right in front of me. However, the rocking of the boat was severe, and my whole family got seasick. That was disappointing. I almost got seasick for the first time myself, so it might have been a bit tough for the kids.
目の前のクジラに感激。しかし、揺れが酷く家族皆船酔いでダウン。そこが残念でした。
自分も初めて船酔いになりかけたので、子供たちには少しつらかったかな。
Thank you very much for boarding with us.
It sounds like you were able to see whales up close! That must have been an incredible experience. Thank you for the beautiful photos as well. As December approaches, we will be entering whale season. There will be many calm days at sea when the boat won't rock, so we hope you will come to see the whales again this season. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Checking in, having our picture taken, getting into and out of the submarine was so easy. The staff was great and very knowledgeable. Can't wait to do it again. We every saw a shark. Very cool.
Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.
This fella was awesome! Not only funny but intelligent and insanely fearless! Loved listening to him and his crew. Very amazing people, ask questions, was a terrific time!!
