Oahu
On the morning of the event, a bus came to pick us up near the hotel, and we were able to get to the site without any inconvenience. There were Japanese staff members at the site, and we were able to enjoy ourselves from start to finish! We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles from the boat, and since the wind was strong and the waves were high, we ended up entering the sea at a different spot than usual. However, there were many fun activities available, such as a slide from the boat and stand-up paddleboarding, so we were able to have a great time throughout!
当日の朝、ホテルの近くまでバスが迎えに来てくださり、何も不自由なく
現場まで行けました。
現場には日本人のスタッフさんがおり、最初から最後まで楽しむことができました！
船からイルカやウミガメを見ることができましたし、風が強く波が高かったため
いつもと違うポイントで海に入ることになりましたが、船からの滑り台や、サップなど多くの遊べる環境が整っていたため、終始、楽しむことができました！
Please pay attention to sunburn!
日焼けに注意してください！
Aloha! Kouta. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. The encounters with dolphins and sea turtles set against the magnificent nature of West Oahu are truly amazing, aren't they? It seems you also enjoyed the famous slide on the Poseidon! Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! Koutaさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。西オアフの壮大な自然を舞台にしたイルカやウミガメとの出会いは最高ですよね! ポセイドン号名物の滑り台も楽しんでいただいたようですね!! ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

There was a captain who could speak Japanese, and he made the conversation very entertaining with jokes. I was very satisfied because we could see not only dolphins but also whales and turtles! The lunch was a buffet style and very delicious. The snorkeling was the same as in Japan!
日本語話せるキャプテン（船長さん）がいて、ジョークを交えて話してくれるのでとても面白かった。イルカだけでなく、クジラやカメも見ることができて大満足でした！
ランチもバイキング形式でとてもおいしかった。シュノーケルは日本と同じです！
The waves were high, so even people who usually don't get seasick have a high possibility of getting seasick ⚠️. Motion sickness medication is necessary.
波が高かったので普段酔わない人でも、船酔いする可能性大⚠️
酔い止め必要です。

It was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and everything was amazing! I joined this tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins, and with our Japanese guide Ken, I felt safe and enjoyed it from start to finish! He was very knowledgeable, and just listening to him was fun, but I never expected to see whales as well. I was told that if you see a whale's tail, happiness will come, so I'm looking forward to what’s next. This experience included a slide on the boat, which was more thrilling than I imagined! It was so much fun! I want to come back to Hawaii again for some kind of celebration.
ハネムーンで初めてのハワイでしたが全てが最高でした！野生のイルカが見たくてこのツアーに参加しましたが日本人ガイドのKENさんがいて最初から最後まで安心して楽しめました！知識が豊富で聞いてるだけでも楽しかったのにまさかクジラまで会えるとは思いませんでした。クジラの尾びれが見れたら幸せが訪れると教えて頂いたのでこれからが楽しみです。この体験では船に滑り台がついてて想像以上にスリル満載でした！楽しかったです！また何かの記念でハワイに戻ってきたいと思います。
It's a good idea to bring a jacket because it gets chilly after scuba diving!
スキューバダイビング後は冷えるので上着を持って行った方がいいです！

On this day, I had requested a Japanese tour for dolphin watching by myself, and as a result, I was able to have a one-on-one experience. The guide spent over an hour searching the sea to find dolphins, visiting various points, and finally, we were able to encounter them. Because they worked so hard for a long time, the excitement of that moment was immense.
The guide, Fuko, shared a lot of interesting facts about Hawaii, and I was able to enjoy my time on the boat throughout the trip. Although I had some swimming experience, it was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the careful instruction I received, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The lunch we had at the end of the tour was also very delicious, making it a fulfilling day that satisfied both my heart and my stomach.
この日は、私一人でイルカウォッチングの日本語ツアーをお願いしていたのですが、結果的に1対1で対応していただくことができました。
イルカを見つけるために、1時間以上にわたって海の上を探し回ってくださり、さまざまなポイントを巡った末、ついにイルカに出会うことができました。長い時間をかけて一生懸命探してくださったからこそ、その瞬間の感動はとても大きかったです。
ガイドのふうこさんはハワイに関する豆知識をたくさん教えてくださり、船に乗っている間も終始楽しく過ごすことができました。
また、泳ぎの経験はあったものの、シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
ツアーの最後にいただいたお昼ご飯もとても美味しく、心もお腹も満たされる大満足の一日となりました。
I recommend that you definitely bring motion sickness medication! Also, if you can swim, diving might be better than dolphin watching!?
酔い止めは必ず持っていくことをお勧めします！
またもし泳ぐことが出来るならばイルカウォッチングよりもダイビングがいいかも！？
Aloha! Mr. Donald. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate the adorable photos of the dolphins swimming at the bow of the boat and your five-star rating.

It was amazing to see the moment the humpback whale jumped!
It was also fantastic to see a pod of long-finned pilot whales.
During snorkeling, I was able to swim with a green sea turtle, and it was just wonderful.
Our guide, Minako, explained everything clearly in Japanese, which made me feel at ease!

ハシナガイルカの群れを見れたのも最高です

I think it's better to have motion sickness medication even for people who don't usually get seasick.

I participated in a tour from Waikiki by bus for the first time in Hawaii. It was early in the morning, and it took about an hour to reach the beach where we could see dolphins. Fortunately, I was able to swim with the dolphins and even see whales! As an older guy, I was truly moved by the experience.
The guides were all professionals and very friendly. For me and the other Japanese participants who struggled with English, Minako, who could speak Japanese, and Yuya, who handled the photography, were very attentive and humorous in their assistance. Thank you for your hard work from the preparations to after we set sail.
It was a very satisfying tour!
初めてのハワイでワイキキからバスでツアーに参加しました。朝早く、イルカが見れる海岸まで移動距離も1時間ほどかかりました。が運良くイルカと泳げてクジラまで見れました！良い歳のおっさんですが感動しました。
ガイドさんは皆プロフェッショナルで気さくでした。英語が拙い私や他の日本人へ、日本語ができるガイドのミナコさんや撮影のゆうやさんが懇切丁寧に、ユーモア交えて対応頂きました。準備から出航後もハードワークでお疲れ様でした。
大変満足なツアーでした！
The boat can be quite rocky, so those who are sensitive should take motion sickness medication or stand on the deck during the trip to avoid having their heads shaken.
船は結構揺れるので弱い人は酔い止めか、乗船中は甲板などで立って、頭が揺らされるのを避けたほうが良い
Aloha! Shinji. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. We also appreciate your five-star rating. It was lucky that you not only swam with dolphins but also encountered whales!!

It was an amazing tour! We were able to see a large group of dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! Everything went very smoothly, and the staff member Minako said, "It's rare to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles so smoothly!" so this tour was a great success! At first, I was worried about whether we would see them, but within 30 minutes of departure, we encountered dolphins, which was fantastic!
Minako, Travis, Laura, Gaylen, Yuya, and Tim were all excellent staff, and we had a great time until the end!

We were the only Japanese guests on the tour, so our Japanese guide, Ken, stayed with us and taught us a lot about how to find dolphins and whales, the names of the fish we saw while snorkeling, and interesting facts about Hawaii. It was a really enjoyable tour!
Since we participated right after the New Year, I was hoping to see some whales, and we encountered nearly ten of them! I will never forget the excitement of seeing a whale right in front of the boat. Everyone, including the other guests and the captain, was thrilled!
We joined the tour the day before returning to Japan, and it became the perfect memory to wrap up our trip to Hawaii. Ken and everyone else were very kind and wonderful, so I definitely want to join other tours as well.
日本人客はツアーの中で我々だけだったので、日本語ガイドのKENさんが私たちについてくださり、イルカやクジラの探し方やシュノーケルで見えた魚の名前、ハワイの豆知識などたくさんのことを教えてくれて、とても楽しいツアーでした！

I have participated in dolphin watching in other countries, but this time swimming with them was a truly precious experience. The dolphins, over 100 of them and about 2 meters long, were really adorable.
We moved to a shallow area where we enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as a slide. The weather was great, and I was very satisfied!
Thank you to the crew, Japanese guide Minako, photographer Yuya, and others—Stef, Tim, Travis, Laura, and Gaylan—for a fun day!

I went in December. It was a bit cold, but on sunny days, it was the best! Since it was far from Honolulu, I was unsure whether to use a shuttle bus or a taxi. I decided to take an Uber taxi. It took about 30 minutes from Honolulu.
When we arrived about 20 minutes before the park opened, the gates had English signs, so I was anxious because I didn't know where to line up for the ticket reservation. Then, a Japanese staff member came out and handed us the tickets based on our reservation name. They kindly explained everything I didn't understand, which made me feel relieved. Since it was December, there weren't many lines in the park, and my 10-year-old son was able to enjoy almost everything.
The locker usage was quite complicated, and I had to ask the English-speaking staff multiple times using a translation app. Some slides had deep pools, and my son almost drowned, but there were staff members at each attraction who quickly handed him a float.
Since it was the off-peak season, some attractions were operating from the morning, while others started in the afternoon or were closed all day, so it was necessary to check. On the day we visited, the lazy river was out of service, which was disappointing since it was the attraction I was looking forward to the most.
We had lunch around 2 PM. The fries that came with the pizza set were really delicious. In the end, we played until closing time. I had also booked an Uber taxi for the return trip, but it seemed there was a lot of traffic, and we waited about 40 minutes longer than planned. The return trip took about an hour and a half due to the congestion. I was hesitant about going, but my child seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.
12月に行きました。
少し寒さはありましたが、晴れてる日は最高です！
ホノルルから遠いので、送迎バスを使うかタクシーを使うか迷いました。
Uberタクシーで行きました。ホノルルから30分くらいでつきました。
開園20分前くらいに着くとゲートも英語表記なので、チケット予約の並びがどこかわからなくて、不安でした。
すると、日本人スタッフの方が出て来て予約の名前でチケットを先に渡してくださいました。
わからない事も丁寧に教えて頂き安心できました。12月なのもあり、園内はそこまで並ばなくても遊べて10歳息子もほぼ制覇できました。
ロッカーの使い方が難しいすぎて、何度も英語対応のスタッフさんに翻訳アプリで聞きました。
スライダーによって、プールが深い場所もあるので、息子が溺れてしまいましたが各アトラクションにスタッフさんが配置されてるのですぐに浮き輪を渡してもらいました。
閑散期だったので、アトラクションも朝から運転してるのもあれば、昼から運転していたり、終日運休しているのもあるので、確認が必要です。私たちの日は流れるプールが運休していて、1番楽しみにしていたのに残念でした。
お昼は、14時くらいに食べました。
ピザセットのポテトがすごく美味しかったです。
結局、閉園時間まで遊びました。
帰りもUberタクシーを予約していましたが、かなり道が渋滞していたみたいで予定時間より40分くらい待ちました。
帰りは混み混みで1時間30分くらいかかりました。行くか迷いましたが子どもはすごく楽しかったみたいで、いい思い出になりました。
I think it would be good to decide on the transportation based on the time, price, and number of people. It would have been nice to have a rental car. The changing room wasn't very clean. During busy

I read the reviews and thought, "I want to see dolphins, but I'm worried about seasickness." However, I gathered my courage and signed up.
In conclusion, as long as I took motion sickness medication, I was fine. I went with my family, and other families were fine too. It seems that standing at the front of the boat and looking out into the distance helps prevent seasickness.
There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel very secure participating in the activity.
Although it was written that we wouldn't be able to swim with the dolphins, on the day of the event, we were able to swim with them. I was surprised to see the dolphins swimming quite deep. Even while the boat was moving, the dolphins swam alongside us as if they were racing, creating the best memories.

There are many water slide attractions that even adults can enjoy. This time, I didn't try the bodyboarding attraction, but it also looked interesting. I only had about 4 to 5 hours to stay because of the bus schedule, but I wanted to play more.

Crew was amazing and made the very best of weather conditions to make the snorkel tour a truly enjoyable experience. They made every effort to find marine life and find an area to snorkel that would provide the best chance to see fish and sea life. We saw a few sea turtle, sting ray, flying fish, tropical fish and a pod of spinner dolphin! Food and drinks were very good. The crew made sure we all had a great time! The photographer was so fun and his picture pack value is unbelievable - no brainer of a purchase. Highly recommended 🤙
Depending on the time of participation, a shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, which was just right—not too early. There were participants from various nationalities, but the Japanese guide provided interpretation and was friendly while chatting on the boat, making it very reassuring and enjoyable.
The wetsuits are available for a fee, but wearing a free life jacket is mandatory. I think those who can swim should be fine without a suit. For small children, having a floatation device is comforting. The sea is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom at all, so it might be a bit scary for kids.
On the day we participated, it was somewhat windy, and some people experienced seasickness. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to bring some medication.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins and even saw a baby dolphin. According to the guide, they had worked at Dolphin University for two years and said, "There hasn't been a day when I didn't see them." The dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped, creating a special time with the wild dolphins that excited the children greatly.
参加時期によりますが、朝は9:30にホテルまでシャトルバスが迎えに来てくれ、早すぎずちょうど良かったです。さまざまな国籍の方が参加していましたが、日本人ガイドさんが通訳してくれたり、船の上でも気さくに話しかけてくれたりして、とても安心して楽しめました。
ウェットスーツは有料ですが、無料のライフジャケット着用が必須です。泳げる方はスーツなしでも問題ないと思います。小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると安心。海は足が全くつかない深さなので、子どもにとっては少し怖いかもしれません。
私たちが参加した日はやや風が強く、船酔いしてしまう方もいました。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参しておくと安心です。
帰り道ではハシナガイルカの群れに遭遇し、赤ちゃんイルカまで見られました。ガイドさんによると、2年間イルカ大学で働いていて「会えなかった日はない」とのこと。船と並走したりジャンプしたりと、野生のイルカと過ごす特別な時間に子どもも大興奮でした。

We participated as a family of three. The sky was cloudy, and the sunset was a bit disappointing, but we were lucky enough to see whales! Two of them!! We thoroughly enjoyed the sight of their dorsal fins, bodies, and tails rising from the waves. All the participants let out joyful cheers. The highlight was the moment when both whales raised their tails high before diving—what an incredible experience! We are truly grateful for this opportunity. The crew's attentiveness made for a fantastic sailing experience!
家族3人で参加しました。曇り空で夕日は少し期待はずれでしたが、なんと鯨がクジラが見れました! ２頭も!!
波間からの背びれ 胴体 尾びれ 余すところなく堪能しました。参加者全員歓喜の雄叫びです。圧巻は２頭が尾びれを高く上げて潜る最高の瞬間でした。この機会に感謝しかありません。
クルーの気遣いも最高のセーリングでした!

I participated with my friend because we could swim with wild dolphins. We were able to swim with whale sharks too! We saw many creatures, including dolphins and turtles, and it was a truly precious experience. The Japanese staff and the crew were very kind, so I think even first-timers can enjoy it! I was really glad to come and have so much interaction with nature!
野生のイルカと泳ぐことができるということで、友人と参加しました。ジンベイザメと泳ぐことができました！他にもイルカやカメなどたくさんの生き物を見ることができ、とても貴重な時間でした。
日本人スタッフさんはじめ、クルーの皆さんもとても優しいので、初めての人でも楽しめると思います！自然にたくさん触れ合うことができ、本当に来てよかったです！
Aloha! Thank you, Nako, for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five-star rating. It was truly fortunate to not only encounter dolphins and turtles but also to swim with a wild whale shark! Even for those who live in Hawaii, swimming with a wild whale shark in the open ocean is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese staff and crew as well. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! nakoさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星にも感謝いたします。イルカやカメと出会っただけでなく、ジンペイザメと泳げたとは本当に幸運でしたね!!ハワイの海を舞台に生活をしている人であっても 外洋に生きる野生のジンベイザメと泳ぐことは一生に一度あるかないかの体験です!!また、日本人スタッフやクルーに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou！

Even if the weather wasn't really great during our experience, we still had a great time chilling in the boat watching the view, snorkeling and had dinner and drinks. It was a really good value for the price since the dinner and alcoholic beverage were also included. The crew was really great too and we spent time talking to them as well. Captain Don, Trent and Jacob were really fun and helpful throughout the experience. Even if we didn't see the sunset because of the weather, it was still great because we saw a humpback whale swimming next to us.
While the day was sad knowing the deaths and hardships faced, it was also a day of learning and exploring, see how the wonderful tributes have been addressed by the powers that be for Pearl Harbour is very honourable for the families and surrounds.
We had a wonderful tour guide Sam who was very knowledgeable, and a very friendly manner, a good addition to our day
I like how it all is, the day is good and happy and pleased to have been able to see it all
I participated in a company trip. People aged from 8 to 57 all enjoyed and had a great time together! The instructor only spoke English, but they really got everyone excited. I had a very enjoyable time.
社員旅行で参加しました。8歳〜57歳までの年齢層で皆で楽しみ、盛り上がりました！
インストラクターは英語だけですが、かなり盛り上げてくれてくれました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
It can get quite hot, so you might be worried about bugs and injuries, but I think short sleeves and shorts are the best choice!
結構暑いので、虫や怪我が心配かもしれませんが、半袖短パンがベストだと思います！

Enjoyed the whole experience was very entertaining
We took the family for a day of cruising, snorkeling, and relaxing. We saw dolphins, flying fish, sea turtles and beautiful coral and fish. The crew was amazing and took care of our every need. From keeping our drinks full, to sunscreen, dry towels, a delicious lunch and incredible snorkeling. We walked to the dock from Ko Olina, very easy. We cruised up the coast, so we did not go far but got a nice view of the resort from the ocean.
Come ready to relax and have fun.
Aloha Pop,
We are absolutely grateful for the kind words!
Cpt Travis + Kekai had an absolute blast with you all. We love sharing the day along the coastline on our Ko Olina Private Charter - Kekai mentioned how incredible the snorkeling visibility was in Makua. We look forward to hosting your family and friends again.
Mahalo,
The MANA Crew
We were blessed with good weather and departed from the hotel around 10:40 AM on a shuttle bus. Before setting sail, we encountered seals, which already filled us with excitement as the dolphin experience began. While cruising around West Oahu, we were able to enjoy the beauty of the vast ocean, the mountains that remain untouched by nature, and the stunning horizon.
We had an encounter with sea turtles on the second deck!! They will surely bring us happiness. During the underwater viewing experience, we were able to see the beauty of the ocean that we want to preserve for future generations and the state of the Earth's environment.
A special thanks to the Japanese staff member, Ryuichi, for his thoughtful consideration in entertaining the children and for all the other assistance provided. Thank you very much to all the other staff members as well.
天候に恵まれて、ホテルを送迎バスで10時40分ごろ出発。出航する前にアザラシ出会って早くも感動をいただきイルカ大学が始まりました。西オアフ島をクルージングする中で大海原の美しさ、大自然の残る山、山、美しい地平線を満喫することができました
2階にわたるウミガメとの出会い！！きっと幸せを呼んでくれることでしょう。海中を見る体験でも次世代に残したい海中の美しさ、残したい、地球環境を見ることができました
日本人スタッフのリュウイチさん、子供を楽しませる配慮、その他いろいろな便をいただきました。他のスタッフの皆様も本当にありがとうございました。
Aloha! Mr. Tsuneji. Thank you for participating with your family at Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five stars. We hope that the adventure set against the magnificent nature of West Oahu has become an unforgettable memory for your family. It was lucky that you were able to encounter not only sea turtles but also seals! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese guide, Ryuichi, and the other staff. Please come back and visit us again with your family when you are in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! TSUNEJIさま。イルカ大学にご家族で参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星にも感謝です。オアフ西部の壮大な大自然を舞台にしたアドベンチャーがご家族の忘れられない思い出になったら幸いです。ウミガメだけでなくアザラシにも出会えたとは幸運でしたね!! 日本語ガイドのリュウイチや他のスタッフに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはご家族で遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou！

I participated in October, and it wasn't cold, so I didn't need to rent a wetsuit. The bus ride to and from the location might have been colder due to the air conditioning. The seawater felt a bit cooler than Waikiki Beach.
I attended with my mother, who is in her 70s, but it seemed like we inflated her life jacket too much, causing her to float on her back and not be able to snorkel properly. There was a stick-like flotation device on the boat, and I thought we should have borrowed that from the beginning.
Also, the vegetable wrap for lunch came with sauce, but it was filled with tasteless beans, which was quite disappointing.
That said, we were able to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and above all, we enjoyed the magnificent scenery. The staff were cheerful and kind, and the singing and dancing were fun; I especially found the male hula dance interesting since it was my first time seeing it.
However, it was unfortunate that the floor wasn't very clean and the restroom had a persistent odor.
10月の参加でしたが寒くなく、ウェットスーツは借りなくて大丈夫でした。行き帰りのバスの方が冷房が寒いかもしれません。海水はワイキキビーチより少々冷たい感じでした。
70代の母と参加しましたがライフジャケットに空気を入れすぎたのか浮力でくるくると上を向いてしまってうまくシュノーケリングできませんでした。
船に棒状の浮き具がありましたので、それを最初からお借りすればよかったと思いました。
あとお昼のベジタブルラップはソースはついているものの無味の豆が沢山入っていて何とも微妙でした。。
ともあれイルカの群れもウミガメも見れましたし、なにより雄大な風景が楽しめました。
スタッフの方も明るく親切で歌やダンスも楽しく、特に男性フラダンスは初めて見たので面白かったです。
ただ床があまりきれいではなかったのとトイレが終始匂っていたのは残念でした。
Motion sickness medication is essential. For those who are not physically active during snorkeling, I think borrowing a float will allow you to relax and float leisurely.
酔い止めは必須。シュノーケリングの時に運動不足の方は浮きをお借りした方がのんびりプカプカできると思います。
Thank you very much for participating and for your very kind and warm review. Your detailed comments based on your actual experience regarding the sea conditions in October and the bus air conditioning will be incredibly helpful for future guests.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused when your mother had difficulty snorkeling due to the buoyancy of the life jacket. I regret that our staff did not provide sufficient prior information. We will work on improving our communication to offer necessary support more proactively, such as suggesting floatation devices.
I also sincerely apologize for the vegetable wrap not being to your taste, as well as for your comments regarding the cleanliness of the boat and the smell of the restroom. We take your feedback seriously and will make improvements to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests.
That said, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, beautiful scenery, and the staff's dances and songs. We hope that seeing the male hula was a memorable part of your experience.
Your suggestions about motion sickness remedies and floatation devices are greatly appreciated and will be helpful for future guests. Thank you for sharing your insights.
If you have the opportunity, we would love for you and your family to come back and visit us again. Our staff will continue to strive to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable tour.
Thank you once again for your warm feedback.
Mahalo! 🌺
この度はご参加いただき、またとても丁寧で温かいレビューをお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
10月の海のコンディションやバスの冷房など、実際の体験に基づく詳細なコメントは、今後ご参加されるお客様にも大変参考になる貴重なお声です。
お母様がライフジャケットの浮力でうまくシュノーケルができなかったとのこと、ご不便をおかけしてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。スタッフから事前のご案内が行き届かず心苦しく存じます。今後は棒状のフロートなど、必要なサポートをより積極的にお声がけできるよう改善してまいります。
またお食事のベジタブルラップがお口に合わなかった点、そして船内の清掃やトイレの匂いに関するご指摘につきましても重ねてお詫び申し上げます。いただいたお声は真摯に受け止め、より快適にお過ごしいただけるよう改善いたします。
とはいえ、イルカやウミガメ、美しい景色、そしてスタッフのダンスや歌を楽しんでいただけたと伺い、私たちも大変嬉しく思います。特に男性フラをご覧いただけたこと、思い出のひとつになっていれば幸いです。
酔い止めや浮き具へのアドバイスも、実体験に基づいたありがたいご提案です。今後のお客様にも参考になるお言葉をありがとうございます。
また機会がございましたら、ぜひご家族で遊びにいらしてください。スタッフ一同、より快適で楽しいツアーをご提供できるよう努めてまいります。
温かいご投稿、本当にありがとうございました。
マハロ！🌺
