I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.
It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.
There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.
I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.
事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。
海に行くのも何年ぶりかしら?
シュノーケリングなんて人生で何回目?
なんて状況でしたので自業自得ですが…
体力に自信の無い50代には厳しかったです🤣
イルカは半分くらいの人は見れたみたいです。
人数が多過ぎて後の方に飛び込むと
見れる可能性は低くなると思います。
泳ぎが得意な人なら大丈夫かもしれません。
私と子どもは見れませんでした😭
主人はかろうじて見れたそうですが、
イルカと泳ぐ、ではないと言ってました。
シュノーケリングも感動する程の魚はいませんでした。
海ガメにも会えませんでした。
自然相手なので仕方ないですね。

Aloha! Richie. Thank you for participating with your family at Dolphin University. The captain and crew will do their best considering the sea conditions and the state of the dolphins on the day of the tour, but I apologize for any disappointment regarding the dolphin swim and snorkeling. Thank you for your comments about motion sickness prevention and cold weather measures.
We hope you will re-enroll when you visit Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

This was my first time going dolphin watching, and I had a lot of anxiety, but the dolphins came closer than I expected, and the crew shared various stories about Hawaii, which made for a fun time. During snorkeling, the crew was very accommodating to our pace and preferences, which I greatly appreciated. If I have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, I would like to consider participating in other tours offered by Dolphin University. Thank you very much.
今回初めてのイルカウォッチングで不安も大きかったですが、思っていたよりも近くにイルカたちが来てくれたり、ハワイのことについてクルーの方たちが色々とお話ししてくださったりしたおかげで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングでも常にクルーの方がこちらのペースや希望に合わせてくださり大変ありがたかったです。次回ハワイに来る機会があればイルカ大学の他のツアーの参加も考えたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time seeing dolphins up close like this. It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins with the Dolphin University boat, and I was able to be with them for a long time.
With the support of Minako, I was able to snorkel safely. I gradually got used to it and was able to move around on my own. Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, and I was able to experience everything.
My husband was a bit flustered during his first snorkeling experience and couldn't see the fish or the sea turtle, but he received constant support, so he wants to try again.
The slide afterward was intense and fun, but you have to be careful when sliding, or you'll end up swallowing seawater. I felt a bit seasick a few times when the boat moved quickly, but they kindly checked on me.
If I go snorkeling again, I think I'll choose Dolphin University.
こんなに間近でイルカを見ることができたのは初めてでした。イルカ大学の船と一緒に泳いでくれているようで、ずっとイルカと一緒にいられました。
シュノーケリングはMINAKOさんのサポートのもとで、安心して泳ぐことができました。少しずつ慣れていき、自分でも移動ができるようになりました。運良くウミガメを見ることもできて、全ての体験をすることができました。
夫は初めてのシュノーケリングで慌ててしまい魚もウミガメも見ることができませんでしたが、ずっとサポートしてくださったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。
その後の滑り台も激しくて面白かったですが、滑る時に注意しないと海水を飲みます。
何度か船が速く移動する時の揺れで船酔いをしましたが、優しく声をかけてくださいました。
またシュノーケリングをやるならイルカ大学にしようと思います。
You don't need a wetsuit if you can swim a little. I felt a bit seasick and couldn't wear it because it was uncomfortable, but I was able to swim.
ウェットスーツは多少泳げる人ならなくて大丈夫です。ちょっと船酔いもあり、苦しくて着られませんでしたが泳げました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating with your spouse at Dolphin University. It was wonderful that you were able to see dolphins swimming up close for a long time from the front and side of the boat!!

I arrived around 11 AM on a weekday. I took an Uber from the hotel. I only used Belta for the entrance fee. The tickets were prepared in advance at the ticket booth and exchanged for a voucher. Once inside, the luggage storage area was quite full in the shade. The slides were popular, but the wait was long, about 30 minutes. I rode about four slides, but I could have ridden more.

入場料だけベルタを利用させていただきました。チケット売り場で事前に用意されていてバウチャーとの交換でした。中に入って荷物置き場や確保かなり日陰は埋まってました。スライダーは人気ありでしたが、長くて30分待ちでした。4本位乗ったのですが、まだまだ乗れました。
Rash guards and sunscreen are essential. It's not much different from Japan's Summerland. However, the advantage is that you can ride smoothly. I did think, "I came all the way to Hawaii for this..."

Since I went on a weekday, I didn't have any trouble finding a spot and had a great time. I was looking forward to the lazy river since I'm not a fan of the thrilling slides, but unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance on the day of my visit. The staff recommended the wave pool, but... There are many slides, but there's also a children's zone, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it. It was helpful that Veltra provided explanations in Japanese regarding important points. It was also fun that they took care of the items that are not allowed to bring in.

Last time, I visited on a Tuesday when the hours were shorter, so it was quite empty, and I wondered if it would be okay. However, my son wanted to go again, so we decided to visit once more. This time it was Friday, and the hours were longer than on other days, but I still thought it would feel as empty as last time. When we arrived, to my surprise, there was a line at the entrance! I thought, "Huh? Something seems different," and as my wife and I entered the park, it was bustling and full of energy, a complete change from our last visit! Every attraction had a line, but the atmosphere was filled with cheerful laughter. Even though we were waiting in line, it wasn't the kind of waiting you experience at Japanese theme parks, so it was bearable even in the scorching sun. Both my son and I had a great time!
前回は火曜日に営業時間が短い時に行ったせいか閑散としていたので大丈夫かな?と思いながらも息子の希望で今回また伺う事になりました。今回は金曜日で営業時間が他の曜日よりも長かったのですが、それでも前回の様な閑散とした感じなんだろうな…と思いながら行くと、何と入場口に行列が!!あれ?様子が変だぞ?と嫁と話ながら園内に入ると、前回と打って変わってとても賑やかで活気が溢れていました!どのアトラクションも並んでいて、それでいて何処からともなく賑やかな笑い声が、並ぶと言っても日本のテーマパークの様な並び方ではないので、炎天下でも耐えられる位でした。息子共々とても楽しめました!
It might just be a coincidence, but I think the atmosphere changes depending on the hours of operation.

Diving into the deep blue ocean, known as the color of the Earth, allowed me to see fish and sea turtles in their natural state up close, which was a wonderful experience. We spotted dolphins from the boat, but perhaps because we had children with us, we didn't see them underwater. However, on our way back to the harbor, a large group of spinner dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped for us! Minako, our Japanese guide with 14 years of experience, always responded to our concerns with a smile and quickly addressed any issues. She was trusted by the other foreign staff, ensuring that we felt completely supported, making our first serious snorkeling experience very reassuring. Mahalo, thank you!

I have been on numerous snorkeling tours in various countries and many in Hawaii, but this was the most disappointing tour.
Reason 1: Despite enduring seasickness on a rocking boat, we went to a spot where there were hardly any fish. It was the worst experience ever. Everyone in my group, including myself, suffered from seasickness.
Reason 2: I anticipate a response like "it's nature, so..." regarding the above reason, but the accompanying photographer was terrible. While I was trying to take pictures of the kids, he constantly interrupted with his loud, cheerful voice, stealing their attention and my perfect timing. For me, who was looking forward to taking photos, he was nothing but a nuisance. Moreover, I was told that if I wanted the photos, it would cost $75. I understood this beforehand, but at such a high price, I would have declined all photography. Naturally, I didn't buy any, but until the very end, I was approached with "I'll give you a discount to $55..." This has led to an absolute negative evaluation of this company. They should have stated the price as $55 from the beginning and only taken time from those who wanted to take photos.
I was so disappointed that I wanted a refund, so the next day I went to a snorkeling spot accessible from land and was able to play with a thousand times more fish.
I applied under the term "limited number of monitor," but will I qualify?
過去様々な国やたくさんのハワイで数多くのシュノーケリングツアーに行きましたが、最も残念なツアーでした。
理由①揺れて船酔いに我慢する中、わざわざ行ったのにもかかわらず、ほとんど魚がいないスポットだった。過去ワースト。私も含め同行者全員が船酔い。
理由②上記理由は「自然が相手だから…」とか言う返信が予想されるが、同行者カメラマンが酷かった。私が子供達の写真を撮ろうとしているのに、悉く大きな陽気な声で子供達の目線や撮影位置を私から奪い、絶好のタイミングも奪われた。撮影を楽しみにしていた私にとって邪魔以外の何物でも無い。しかも写真が欲しければ75ドルが必要と、最後に値段があかされ、わかってはいましたが、そんな高額なら、カメラ撮影は全て断っています。当然買いませんが、バスから降りる最後まで「55ドルにディスカウントするので…」と声をかけられ、この会社への評価は絶対的なものになりました。だったら最初から値段を55ドルとあかし、撮影を希望する方だけの時間を奪えばいい。
返金を求めたいくらい残念だったので、翌日、陸から行くシュノーケリングスポットに行ったが1000倍の魚と戯れることが出来ました。
人数限定モニターという言葉で応募しましたが、対象になるのでしょうか?
As stated above.
上記の通りです。

On the day of the tour, we were able to witness the unique natural beauty of the western part of Oahu, including many false killer whales and the sight of rays flying from the boat. However, we sincerely apologize for causing disappointment during your precious summer vacation.
The selection of snorkeling spots is determined by the captain on the day of the tour, who assesses the weather and sea conditions comprehensively, prioritizing safety. Unfortunately, due to the high waves leading up to the day before, the water was murky, which led to a disappointing experience.
We also apologize for any discomfort caused by the photographer's customer service attitude. Moving forward, we will ensure proper consideration during photo sessions and provide appropriate guidance. We will sincerely review the lack of explanation regarding the photography fees as well.
We will continue to strive for a balance between safe operations and quality, aiming to provide experiences that satisfy everyone.
この度は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。
貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。
ツアー当日は、多くのユメゴンドウ(イルカ)やえいが飛ぶ光景など、船上からオアフ島西部ならではの貴重な自然の姿をご覧いただけたツアーではありましたが、そのような中でもお客様の貴重な夏休みのご旅行において残念な気持ちを抱かせてしまったこと、大変申し訳なく存じます。
シュノーケリングスポットの選定は、ツアー当日の船長が天候・海況を総合的に判断して安全性を最優先に選定しますが、前日までの高波の影響で水が濁っていたため、残念な思いをさせてしまいました。
また、カメラマンの接客態度について不快な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。
今後は撮影時の配慮と適正なご案内を徹底します。撮影料金の説明不足があった点も真摯に見直します。
今後も安全運航と質の両立を図り、皆さまに満足いただける体験を提供できるよう努めてまいります。

I was very satisfied throughout the entire tour thanks to the kind staff. However, even though I usually don't get motion sickness, I felt unwell this time despite taking motion sickness medication. Additionally, when swimming with the dolphins, it was difficult to swim at my own pace, so those who are not confident in their swimming abilities should be cautious. However, you can wait on the boat, so I think it's best to make a decision based on your condition and feelings at that time.
Regarding the photos, after the tour, I was able to express my wishes, but even if I hadn't communicated my preferences, I received an email later with purchase information, allowing me to buy them.
ツアー全体を通して、優しいスタッフの皆さんのおかげでとても満足できました。
ただ、普段は乗り物酔いをしないのですが、今回は酔い止めを服用していても気分が悪くなってしまいました。また、イルカと一緒に泳ぐ際には、自分のペースで泳ぐことが難しいため、泳ぎに自信のない方は注意が必要です。ただ、船上で待つこともできるので、そのときの体調や気分に応じて判断されると良いと思います。
写真については、ツアー終了後に希望を伝える形でしたが、希望を伝えていなくても後日メールで購入の案内が届き、そちらから購入することができました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I also appreciate the five-star rating. I'm glad you were able to see the dolphins!! Additionally, thank you for your comments regarding the swimming safety tips and photo package. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

The morning gathering was early, so my 5-year-old child looked sleepy the whole time, but when the dolphins appeared, he was completely absorbed in watching them in the water. I was a bit anxious about managing our valuables, but I was able to take care of them myself at the foot of the boat, so there was really no need to worry. There were times when Japanese speakers were available, so we had no language barriers, and the English staff were friendly, making it a fun experience. I recommend signing up for the photo package (up to 4 people for $79) because you won't need to bring a camera, and they will even take underwater photos for you. It was nice to have a credit card and some cash for tips. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. Our family, both adults and children, were fine, but I saw a few people who were really struggling with seasickness. Overall, it was a great experience that the kids enjoyed very much.
朝集合が早かったので、5歳の子供は終始眠そうでしたが、イルカが見えると夢中で海の中を見ていました。
貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、船の足元に自分で管理で、特に心配する必要もなかったです。
日本語が話せる方がいる時間帯だったので、言葉面でも不自由なく、英語スタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
フォトパッケージ(4人まで79ドル)を申し込めば、カメラを持っていく必要もなく、水中の写真まで撮ってくれるのでおすすめです。
クレカとチップ分の現金があれば良い感じでした。
酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいたほうがいいかと。
我が家は大人も子供も飲んで平気でしたが、数名凄まじい勢いで戻してる方がいて辛そうでした。
総合的に子供も楽しめ、とても良かったです。
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the tour and for taking the time to provide such a thoughtful review. We were delighted to hear that your child was captivated by the dolphins despite the early morning gathering.
We also sincerely appreciate the detailed information you provided, which will be helpful for future participants regarding the photo package, valuables management, language support, what to bring, and advice on motion sickness.
If this became one of the enjoyable memories of your family's trip to Hawaii, it brings us the greatest joy. We all look forward to the opportunity to meet you again when you visit Hawaii.
Thank you once again!
Mahalo! 🌺
アロハ、この度はツアーにご参加いただき、また貴重なお時間を割いて丁寧なレビューをお寄せいただき、誠にありがとうございます。
朝早い集合にも関わらず、お子様がイルカたちを見て夢中になってくれたとのこと、私たちもとても嬉しく拝見しました。
また、フォトパッケージや貴重品管理、言語面、持ち物、酔い止めのアドバイスなど、これからご参加される方への参考になる情報も詳しく書いてくださり、心より感謝申し上げます。

I was worried about seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication on the bus ride there. Even so, I started feeling seasick about 30 minutes after getting on the boat, but thanks to the staff's consideration, I was able to enjoy myself!

It was an exotic experience centered around a luau show and Polynesian cultural experiences.
First, regarding the luau show, it is entirely in English, which is to be expected. I think other luau shows are not much different, so you should accept that.
The show features fire dancing and audience participation, making it enjoyable. The meal is a buffet and the taste is decent. I'm happy there are plenty of vegetables. Water and coffee are free, while alcoholic drinks are charged.
The audience consisted of only one family from Korea, not to mention Japanese or other Asian attendees, which added to the exotic atmosphere.
Depending on the plan, you can receive a $16 gift card, which you can use for drinks or souvenirs.
Before the show, you can enjoy activities like making flower crowns, experiencing body painting, and trying out Polynesian games. There was no aggressive tipping, and I had a great time.
ルアウショーとポリネシアン文化の体験やショーがメインの異国情緒漂う体験でした。
まず、ルアウショーですが、全編英語です。当たり前ですが。他のルアウショーも大差ないと思うのでそこは諦めてください。
ショーはファイアーダンスあり、観客参加ありと楽しいです。食事はビュッフェで味はまぁまぁ。野菜が多いのが嬉しいですよ。ドリンクは水とコーヒーは無料。アルコール類は有料です。
観客は日本人どころかアジア系も韓国の家族連れの方が一組のみ。とっても異国感です。
プランによっては16ドル分のギフトカードが貰えます。お酒でもお土産でも好きなものをどうぞ。
ショーまでは花冠を作ったり、ペイントの入墨体験があったり、ポリネシアの遊び体験があったりで色々と楽しめます。チップにがっつく様子もなく、楽しく過ごせました。
If you understand English, you'll enjoy it even more... For now, let's remember the bus number if there is a shuttle service.
英語が分かればさらに楽しめるでしょうが…。とりあえず、送迎ありの場合はバスの番号を覚えておきましょう。

There were various pools, slides, and dynamic attractions, and it was so much fun. The sun was intense, and I got sunburned. My body was covered with a rash guard, but since my face got wet, I think the sunscreen came off. My feet, which were in sandals, also got quite sunburned.
When going to the attractions, I took off my sandals and lined up. Many people left their sandals at the starting point. Once barefoot, the ground was so hot that it felt like I might get burned. But that too is a fun memory.
I didn't use a locker for my belongings. There were many chairs lined up near the wave pool, and I claimed a spot there to leave my things. (I carried my phone and valuables in a waterproof case.)
It was so much fun that I played without even having lunch!
いろんなプールや滑り台,ダイナミックなアトラクションがあって,とっても楽しかったです。
日差しがきつくて,日焼けもしました。体はラッシュガードでおおわれていましたが,顔は濡れてしまうので,日焼け止めもとれてしまうと思います。サンダルを履いていた足もしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。
アトラクションに行くときは,サンダルを脱いで並びます。たくさんの方が出発地点などに,サンダルを置いていきます。裸足になると,地面が熱くて,火傷しそうなくらいでした。でも,それも楽しい思い出の1ページです。
荷物はロッカーには預けませんでした。波のプールの近くにたくさんイスが並べてあり,そこで拠点となる場所取りをして,荷物も置いておきました。(携帯電話や貴重品は防水ケースに入れて持ち歩いていました。)
楽しすぎて,お昼ご飯も食べずに,遊びました!
When you arrive, I think it's a good idea to first secure a base location!
到着したら,まず,拠点となる場所取りをしたらいいと思います!

The various workshops and experience events, such as lei making, really captured the Polynesian atmosphere and were enjoyable. My child was delighted to take pictures with a parrot.
The show was very authentic, featuring not only female dancers but also male hula dancers, and we enjoyed both traditional dances from various countries (hula kahiko and Tahitian 'ote'a) and contemporary dances (hula 'auana and Tahitian aparima). The dancers were very skilled, and it was not just a show dance but truly impressive. The hosts, singers, and backing musicians were also wonderful, and the food was delicious, making it a very memorable luau experience.
Although the entire presentation was in English and there was no Japanese support, I felt that using a translation app would solve any issues.
レイメイキングなどの各種ワークショップや体験イベントはポリネシアンの雰囲気がとても出ていて楽しめました。
こどもはオウムと写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ショーはとても本格的で、女性ダンサーだけでなく男性のカネダンサーもおり、各国の伝統的なダンス(フラカヒコやタヒチアンオテア)と現代風ダンス(フラアウアナやタチヒアンアパリマ)どれもとても楽しめました。
ダンサーの皆さんがとても上手で、ショーダンスではなく、本格派で素晴らしかったです。
司会、歌手、バックミュージシャンの皆様も素晴らしく、お料理も美味しく、とても思い出に残るルアウ体験となりました。
オールイングリッシュで日本語対応はありませんが、翻訳アプリなどを使えば問題ないと感じました。

The friendly local staff welcomed us and provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease. I was wondering how suitable the water park activities would be for an elderly couple. We participated as a family with our two middle school children, and my worries quickly disappeared as we enjoyed ourselves as long as our stamina allowed. We were also able to take photos. The lunch was substantial, and we couldn't finish it. We played non-stop except during meal times, and it was so much fun that we felt like we didn't have enough time. I definitely want to go again.
日本人の親しみやすい現地スタッフの方が迎えてくれて、丁寧に説明をしてくださり安心しました。初老の夫婦には水上アスレチックはどうなのか?と思っていました。中学生の子供2人と家族で参加しましたが、心配はすぐになくなり体力続く限り楽しみました。写真も撮りながらOKでした。ランチもボリュームがあり食べきれなかったです。食事時間以外休まず遊びましたが時間が足りないくらい楽しかったです。またぜひ行きたいです。

It was our first time visiting this place with my middle school daughters. The local guide was Japanese and explained everything kindly and thoroughly from start to finish, so I had almost no worries. They also guided us to try kayaking before our scheduled time, allowing us to experience it while it was still available. The water park was spacious, and even as someone in my senior years, I enjoyed taking photos while having fun. I was really anxious about whether I could actually ride the waves during the surfing experience plan, but even though I couldn't communicate well with the instructor, their friendly demeanor and support helped me, and by the end, I was able to surf on my own! The lunch was generous and delicious, with so much food that we couldn't finish it all. The experience was so fulfilling that we didn't have enough time, and my kids were super excited to come back again.
中学生の娘達を連れて初めて行く場所でした。現地のガイドの方は日本の方で最初から最後まで親切丁寧に説明され、ほとんど不安もなかったです。時間前にカヤックなども案内してくれて空いてるうちに体験できました。水上アスレチックも広くて、初老の私でもカメラマンしながら楽しみました。サーフィン体験プランでほんとに乗れる??と不安でしたが、インストラクターの方と言葉は通じないけど雰囲気も優しくて手をとってサポートしてくださっていたので、最後には1人で波乗りできるようになってました!!ランチもボリュームがあり食べきれないくらいあって美味しかったです。
時間が足りないくらい充実していて、また来たいと大興奮の子供達でした。
I think it would be great for parents to join in the fun at the athletic park. It's interesting just to watch, too!
親御さんも一緒にアスレチックで遊ばれると良いと思います。見てるだけでも面白いですけどね!!

Entering "Dolphin University" and officially becoming a graduate was the biggest event of the summer of 2025. With a courteous pick-up, we quickly arrived at Waianae Harbor from Ko Olina. We boarded right away, and Captain KURT's jokes eased the tension of the 28 new students, bringing smiles to everyone. Next, we held the solemn "Ehomai Ceremony" (a prayer before entering the sacred place). As time flowed leisurely, we cruised through the magnificent nature of the West Coast. Thanks to our prayers, we encountered many dolphins. Even Minako, a Japanese staff member, said, "Such days are rare." Near the harbor, a family of spinner dolphins came close to the boat, showing us their spinning jumps multiple times. We also encountered a rare pod of false killer whales offshore. It was truly moving. Above all, the crew's "dolphin love" was palpable. In the second class, "snorkeling," my wife had her first experience, and with Minako's support, she said, "It was so much fun. It was really great." We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature. We also encountered sea turtles twice. I would love to participate in this tour again. I highly recommend it.
「イルカ大学」に入学し、晴れて卒業生の仲間入りとなったことは2025年夏の最大のイベントでした。丁寧な送迎でコオリナからはあっという間にワイアナエ港に到着。早速乗船しKURT船長のジョークを交えた挨拶で入学生28名の緊張もほぐれて皆笑顔に。続いて厳粛な「エホマイの儀式(聖地に入る前の祈り)」を行いました。ゆったりとした時が流れる中、雄大な自然が広がる西海岸で、大自然の中をクルーズ。お祈りのおかげ?で、私たちはたくさんのイルカ達と遭遇することができました。日本人スタッフのMinakoさんも「こんな日はめったにないです」というくらい。港の近くではハシナガイルカのファミリーが、ボートのすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、回転ジャンプを何度も見せてくれました。沖合では珍しいユメゴンドウ(鯨)の群れにも出会えました。感激しました。何より船長以下クルーの皆さんの“イルカ・ラブ”がひしひしと伝わってきました。2時間目の授業「スノーケリング」は、妻は初体験でしたが、Minakoさんのサポートで「凄く楽しかった。とても良かった」とのことでした。雄大な自然をたっぷりと満喫させて頂きました。ウミガメさんにも2度出会えました。またこのツアーに参加したいと思いました。お勧めします。
I think beginners should wear a wetsuit. Rentals are inexpensive at $10.
初心者は、ウェットスーツを着用された方がよろしいかと思います。レンタルが10ドルと安いです。

We had a surfing experience as a family of four. I thought it would be difficult, but we started by holding onto the instructor's hand, and my father and two sons (a high schooler and a sixth grader) were able to ride on their own after just one or two tries. (My younger son even improved to the point where he could play rock-paper-scissors with the instructor while riding the waves. On the other hand, my mother got nervous and retired after one attempt.)
The session lasted about 60 minutes, including a pre-briefing, and since we were the only participants, we were able to enjoy it multiple times. However, towards the end, my eldest son fell off the board and was unable to flow back to the rear, getting stranded in the waves. This led to a tense situation where the instructor rushed to rescue him, and another staff member had to stop the waves. Fortunately, my son was able to escape on his own, but it reminded me that there are risks involved in water activities.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable activity that is not something you get to experience often, so I highly recommend it.
家族4人でサーフィン体験をやりました。
難しいのかと思っていましたが、インストラクターの方の手をつかまりながらスタートし、父と息子二人(高校生&小学6年生)は1,2回で一人で乗れるようになりました。
(次男は波に乗りながらインストラクターの方とジャンケンをできるまで上達しました。一方で母はビビってしまい1回でリタイア。)
時間は事前説明含めて約60分間で、参加者が我々4人だけだったので何度も楽しめました。
ただ、終盤に長男がボードから落下したあと上手く後部に流されず、波の中に取り残されてしまい、インストラクターの方が急いで救出に向かう&もう1人のスタッフの方が波を停止するという緊迫した事態になりました。
無事長男は自力で脱出できましたが、やはり水のアクティビティなのでリスクがあると改めて思い知らされました。
ただ、基本的にとても楽しいアクティビティで、中々経験できないものですので、オススメです。
