I usually spend my time relaxing by the hotel pool, but this time I participated in a tour with my child for the first time. Since my daughter is three years old, we chose this tour that doesn't require swimsuits. Since we were going anyway, both parents and grandparents joined in to touch the dolphins. Having a Japanese interpreter made it easy to enjoy without worries.
We got to interact with the dolphins, and during the rest of the time, we watched a show. There was also a slide in one corner, so we were able to spend the whole time without getting bored. For lunch, we made bento and brought a blanket to eat on the grass. (Although there weren't many others doing the same...)
いつもはホテルのプールでのんびり過ごしていましたが、初めて子連れでツアーに参加しました。
娘が3歳なので、水着不要のこのツアーを選択。どうせならと、パパママ、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんも全員ツアーに参加してイルカを触りました。日本語通訳が付き添ってくれるので、安心して楽しめました。
イルカに触れ合え、その他の時間はショーを見ました。
一角に滑り台もあるので、飽きずに時間いっぱい過ごせました。
お昼は、お弁当を作ってシート持参で芝生で食べました。(他にそうしている人はいませんでしたが…。)

The voucher mentioned a small amount of money, and there were places where you could buy photos and goods if you didn't bring much. Not only was there interaction with dolphins, but there were also animals on-site, which was included in the time and was unexpected. I wish there was more information provided.
バウチャーには多少のお金と書かれており、ほとんど持って行かなかったら写真やグッズを購入出来たりする場所もあったり、イルカとの触れ合いだけでなく、現地で動物もいて、それ込みの時間だったり予定外でした。

I fulfilled my long-held dream of swimming with dolphins! Although I was worried that there was no guarantee of seeing them since they are wild animals, I was very satisfied to encounter a pod of dolphins three times on a sunny morning. Unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles, but since dolphins were my main goal and I got to see a stingray instead, I'm really glad I participated!
イルカと泳ぐという昔からの夢が叶いました!
野生の生き物なので、100%会えるわけではないのが心配だったものの、晴天の午前中に3回もイルカの群れに出会えて大満足でした。
残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、イルカが一番の目的だったのと、代わりにエイに会えたので、本当に参加してよかったです!

The program picks you up around 8:30 AM from major hotels in Waikiki via a private large bus. You will depart at 2:30 PM and return to your original hotel.
It takes about 30 minutes to Sea Life Park, enjoying the coastal scenery along Diamond Head and Coco Marina, so it wasn't a burden even with children.
At the Dolphin Encounter, there is a pre-explanation for Japanese visitors by Japanese staff as soon as you enter (the activities will be in English). The changing room is spacious, so changing is not an issue, but the showers afterward do not have hot water, so bringing a larger bath towel to dry off properly might be necessary as it could be a bit cold.
With about eight people in one group, the time spent playing with the dolphins felt shorter compared to my previous experience in Mexico, and I found it a bit lacking.
You can enter the space in front of the pool with a stroller, so while my wife watched our 0-year-old, I took photos and videos from there. The entire Sea Life Park is stroller-friendly, so if you're unsure, I think it's better to bring one.
After the activities, there are dolphin shows, a turtle pool, children's play equipment, and souvenir shops, which provide plenty of time to kill before the return bus.
For meals, there are light snacks like hot dogs and pizza. However, many of the hot dogs are spicy, so caution is needed as they might be too hot for children.
プログラムは8:30位にワイキキの主要ホテルから専用の大型バスにてピックアップ。

This time, I participated with my 3-year-old child.
It was very helpful to have a plan where we could interact directly with the dolphins in front of the dolphin tank without getting into the water.
While there are other plans that involve entering the pool, for children who are not comfortable in the water or for those who would prefer to interact with dolphins without going into the pool, this was a highly recommended plan, which is why I signed up. I think it was the best option for families with small children.
However, since we traveled from Waikiki to the park, considering the time until the return bus, I felt a bit unsatisfied. The actual time for the activity was about 30 to 40 minutes... It seemed like this plan was not an official one at the park (the staff's somewhat spontaneous handling suggested this), so it felt like it ended abruptly. After the interaction with the dolphins, I felt like the wait for the shuttle was longer than expected.
During that time, there were also penguins, an aquarium (with a shark tank), and a birdhouse where you could feed birds for free, as well as a dolphin show that you could watch at certain times. Plus, the view of the open ocean from the overseas side was fantastic! So, we were able to stroll around the park.
If possible, it would be great if the explanation for the plan included more information about these activities, as it could have helped us enjoy that time even more.
Overall, the plan to interact with the dolphins was very good, but as it stands, there is a risk of misunderstanding that you will be with the dolphins the entire time upon arrival. I actually felt that way.
However, I was fortunate to have a conversation with a Japanese woman at the park, who kindly accompanied us and translated the explanations given by the foreign staff about the dolphins. I am very grateful for that!
今回は、子供(3歳)の子供連れにて、参加させていただきました。
水に入らず、イルカ用の水槽前で、じかに触れ合うことができる、プランにてとても助かりました。
ほかのプランで、プールに入る企画も良いのですが、水になれない子供や出来れば、プールに入らなくてもイルカとふれあいたい!って、方には、とってもオススメ!な企画だったので申し込みしました。
ちっちゃい子が、いるプランではベストな、企画だったとは思います。
ただ、今回は、ワイキキからパークへの来園だったので、帰のバスまでの時間を考慮すると、ちょっとだけ物足りなさが残ったかもしれませんでした。
実質時間、30~40分程度の、企画だったので。。。
こちらの企画自体が、パークでの正規プランで無いようにも(ちょっとだけスタッフの急な企画チックな対応が。。。)見受けられたので、あっけなく終わったような。。。?。ほぇ?っと、イルカちゃんとのふれあい終了後、なんとなく送迎までの時間が長く感じられたのも、状況でした。
まぁ、そのあいだにも、園内には、ペンギン、水族館(サメさんの水槽)や、間近でのカメさん(しこたまいました。)とか、インコかな?の無料で入れて餌付けまでできる鳥小屋もあり・イルカショウも時間によっては見ることも出来、また、これがまた、海外線から望む外洋の景色も最高♪と、なんだかんだ、ブラブラと園内を散策することもできました。
出来れば、当該のプラン説明にも、そこら辺是非、説明文入れていただいてもらえれば、もっと事前情報とし、収集しいろいろとその時間をもっと楽しめたかもしれないですね。
全面的に、イルカと触合うとの企画はとても良いのですが、そのままだと、登園時、終始イルカといるものと誤認識してしまうおそれが出てきます。実際そう感じました。
でも、パークには唯一日本の方が、一名(女性)の方とたまたま、お話することができ、いろいろと、同行していただきながら説明やら、ご配慮いただけてイルカのイロハを説明された外人さんの説明をわざわざ訳して頂いたりととてもお世話になりました。感謝です!

I participated with my mother in her 60s and my daughter who is 1 year and 10 months old. During the pre-activity briefing, we were informed that if the child cried, the dolphins would get startled and we would have to leave the pool, which made me a bit nervous as we entered the water. Thanks to the dolphins' charm, my daughter was full of curiosity! She reached out her hand to touch the approaching dolphins and was even actively giving them kisses. My mother, who had always dreamed of interacting with dolphins, was very happy as well.

I participated in Dolphin Adventure. Besides the three points on the schedule, you can touch the dolphins multiple times and even feed them. It's a lot of fun! However, since bringing my own camera is not allowed, I think I will have to purchase the photos taken at the park. They are quite expensive (laughs) - $36 for two photos, and you can also buy a DVD for $55.
After that, we spent time in the park until the bus departure time, which was about three hours.
We had lunch, watched the dolphin show, fed the parrots, fed the turtles, rolled around on the grass, and went to look at the photos to pass the time. While it’s definitely not cheap, I’m glad I did it!
ドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加しました。スケジュールにある3点以外にも何度もイルカに触れさせてもらえますし。エサもあげれます。楽しいです!ただ自分のカメラの持ち込みが不可のためパークで撮ってもらった写真を購入する事になると思います。それが高いんです(笑)2枚で36$、DVD(55$)も購入出来ます。
その後は、バスの時間まで園内で過ごします。約3時間ほどでした。
私たちは、ランチを食べて→イルカのショーを見て、インコのえさやり、カメのえさやり、芝生でゴロゴロ、写真を見に行って、時間をつぶしました。金額的には決して安いものではありませんが、やって良かったです!

Our guides were very friendly and helpful. We were able to swim next to turtles, dolphins and tons of tropical fish. This isn't the kind of swimming with dolphins in an aquarium where they do tricks for you and kiss you, but it's amazing in itself to see a pod of 30+ dolphins in their natural habitat. They came as close as within 10 feet of us in our trip, and turtles were close enough to touch. Lunch was actually delicious!
Overall an unforgettable experience and highly recommended! I would also recommend getting an underwater camera or waterproof iPhone case. We didn't and definitely regretted it.

I encountered a pod of dolphins twice!
Unfortunately, they didn't play with us... But I guess just being able to see them was lucky. I really wanted to dive down to the dolphins without a life jacket!
At first, my wife was hesitant to go into the ocean, but once she got in and saw the dolphins and sea turtles, she was thrilled! However, while watching the turtles, she got seasick and had to throw up... (laughs)
Even with a green face, she was excited. As for me, even though I'm over sixty, I successfully graduated from Dolphin Middle School!
The guide was a lively woman, which was great!

Picked up near the hotel at 6:30 AM. Since it was early, I planned to sleep during the transfer, but we had a briefing about swimming with dolphins (don't chase them) and checking fin sizes, and before I knew it, we arrived at the harbor in about 45 minutes.
Since the water temperature was low, I rented a wetsuit for an additional $10, put on a life jacket, and boarded the boat to set sail. Within five minutes of departure, we spotted dolphins! I quickly put on my fins and snorkel and jumped into the water. (Apparently, it was a good day for finding dolphins.) I was glad I rented the wetsuit because the water was cold.
The dolphins swam away quickly, but when I floated and waited, they returned, and I was able to see them perfectly this time. I thought there would be only a few, but there were about a dozen—what a surprise to see such a large group!
The dolphins kept coming back, and after enjoying plenty of dolphin sightings, we got back on the boat and moved to the next turtle spot. I got pretty tired from the waves, so I had a snack to recharge. At the turtle spot, I saw not only turtles but also a variety of colorful tropical fish.
I wanted to dive a little since I was there, but due to the buoyancy of the wetsuit, I couldn't dive easily... However, a turtle came up to the surface, and I was able to see it up close (though touching a turtle incurs a fine).
On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep and returned to the hotel before noon. I had such a fulfilling time, and since it was still morning, I could still do some sightseeing and shopping, so I was very satisfied!
朝6半ホテル近くでピックアップ。朝早かったので移動中眠るつもりだったが、移動中にイルカと泳ぐときの注意点(追いかけちゃダメ)や、フィンのサイズ確認などあり、話聞いてたら45分ほどでハーバーに到着。
水温低いとのことでウエットスーツを追加レンタル(10ドル)し、救命胴衣つけて船に乗り込み出航。
出航して5分もたたないうちにイルカ発見!すぐにフィンとシュノーケルつけ、水中に。(この日はイルカみつけるのはやかったらしい)水が冷たかったのでウエットスーツ借りてよかったと思う。
イルカが泳ぐスピード早くていってしまったけど、プカプカ浮かんで待ってたら、すぐ戻ってきてくれて今度はばっちり見られた。
数頭くらいだと思ってたから十数頭~?けっこうな群れで驚いた。
その後も何度もイルカが戻ってきてくれ、たっぷりイルカを見てから船に上がり、次のカメポイントに移動。
波に揺られてけっこう疲れたので、もらった軽食食べて復活。
カメポイントはカメだけでなく、いろとりどりの熱帯魚も見られた。
せっかくだから少し潜りたかったけど、ウエットスーツの浮力のせいか、なかなか潜れず…
でもカメが海面にあがってきてくれたので、こちらもさわれそうなくらい近くで見られた(カメさわったら罰金だけど)
帰りの移動は爆睡して12時前にホテル戻り。
これだけ充実した時間を過ごせてまだ午前なので、ここからまだ観光も買い物もできるし、大満足!!

We were picked up at 515am and taken to a marina. A light breakfast was provided consisting of tea/coffee and muesli bars/muffins. We then boarded a boat equipped with snorkling equipment. We had 2 wonderful guides and a photographer. Austin and the young lady guide were great. We were taken across the ocean, saw a few whales before being taken to a phenomenal reef. Beautiful coloured fish and coral to see. The underwater photographer Asia takes photos of you and family snorkling which you then can purchase. The photos are definitely worth it. We saw a heap of dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat. The guide takes you as close to the dolphins as possible. We were then treated to a bbq lunch at around midday. Great for young kids and non swimmers. Wonderful staff. Can't fault this tour. Highly reccommended.

I participated in this tour about seven years ago, and I decided to join again this time. The program content and the pool have changed due to renovations since my last visit. The value felt much better back then.
The program lasted about 30 minutes, during which we listened to the staff's instructions and explanations. We mainly interacted with the dolphins by extending both hands forward to have the dolphin rest its chin on them for a smile photo towards the camera. Another pose was a handshake with both hands. Unfortunately, that's all there was for interaction.
Since the counterpart is an animal, the pricing might be higher, but previously, activities that included swimming with the dolphins were offered at a lower price. So, I can't help but feel disappointed. Since my children are no longer toddlers, I don't think we'll participate in this tour again in the future. However, it might be a suitable program for small children or elderly individuals. If you're bringing children in upper elementary school, I think including programs where they can swim together would enhance their satisfaction.
By the way, after the nearly 30-minute photo session, you can purchase photos for about $18 each (though I'm not entirely sure, that's what I remember), around $30 for two, and a little over $40 for three. Previously, you would buy printed photos, but now it's available as data on a CD. This aspect has improved.
7年ほど前に1度参加させていただいたことがあるツアーでしたが、今回2回目の参加を決めました。
以前とはプログラムの内容やプールが改修等により変わっていました。
お得感は断然昔の方がありました。
30分ほどのプログラムになりましたが、スタッフの方から注意事項や説明を聞き、主にイルカと触れ合えるのは両手を前に出して、そこのイルカの顎を乗せてもらいカメラに向かってスマイル写真を撮影。もう1パターンは両手で握手のポーズで撮影。
触れ合いと言ったら残念ながらこれだけです。
相手は動物。とゆうことで料金設定も高めなのかもしれないですが、以前は一緒に泳げるアクティビティがこの料金以下のプライスで含まれていたので、やはり残念感は否めません。
子供たちも幼児ではなくなったこともあって、次回以降のこのツアーの参加は・・・ないかなぁと。
ただ、小さいお子さんやご年配の方にはちょうどいいプログラムなのかもしれません。小学校高学年以上のお子さんをお連れなら、一緒に泳げるなどのプログラムが含まれていた方が満足感は得られるような気がします。
ちなみに30分弱の写真撮影のプログラムを終えたあとは、1枚18ドル(確かではないですがそう記憶しています)2枚で30ドルちょっと、3枚で40ドルちょっとの写真を購入することも可能です。
以前は現像した写真を購入する形でしたが、今はCDRのデータで購入になっています。
この点は良くなったところかな。

Our family of four, including my wife, our 6-year-old son, and our 4-year-old daughter, all participated! Due to age restrictions, we couldn't swim together, but we were all very satisfied as we kissed, shook hands, and touched the half-whale, half-dolphin, known as a wolphin! Our daughter, who isn't very comfortable in the water, was also overjoyed, so it must have been quite a thrill for her. The adults were also very excited! The wolphin is said to be unique in the world, and since our group happened to interact with a wolphin, the staff told us we were very very very ×3 lucky! Next time, I would like to interact with regular dolphins as well!
家族4人、妻、6歳の息子、4歳の娘と全員参加しました!年齢制限で一緒には泳げなかったですが、クジラとイルカのハーフのウォルフィンとキスしたり、握手したり、体を触ったりと、家族全員大満足でした!水が得意でない娘も大喜びでしたので、よっぽど嬉しかったのでしょう。大人も大興奮でした♪ウォルフィンは世界にここにしかいないと言われていて、たまたま、私たちのグループのお相手がウォルフィンだったので、スタッフからは very very very ×3 Lucky!!!と言われました。今度は、普通のイルカとも触れ合ってみたいです♪

I participated with my 5-year-old and 1-year-old children. It was a rare experience to interact with dolphins, and both of them were very happy. There aren't many activities available for children starting from 1 year old, so it was definitely the right decision to make a reservation from Japan. However, I had booked for 9:30, but for some reason, it was changed to 11:00 when I checked in on-site. I thought it might be related to not having a shuttle service and going by rental car, which made me a bit anxious. However, it actually allowed us to take a light look around the park before that, and we were able to navigate the park efficiently, so I recommend 11:00 for those who are going by rental car.
5歳と1歳の子供を連れて参加してきました。
イルカと触れ合うなんてなかなかできない体験で、二人ともすごく喜んでくれました。
1歳から参加できる、アクティビティはあまりないので、日本から予約をして参加して大正解でした。
ただ9:30で予約していましたが、現地でチェックインした際になぜか11:00に変更されてしまいました。今回送迎なしで、レンタカーで行った関係かなと思い、少し不安がありましたが、逆にそれまでにパーク内を軽く見ることができ、効率よくパークを回ることができたのでレンタカーで行かれる方は11:00がおすすめです。

During the bus ride, they talked about various things related to Hawaii, so I wasn't bored at all. I only saw a few dolphins, but it was still quite fun. We moved by boat in search of dolphins → spotted dolphins and jumped into the sea → chased and swam after the dolphins!! → moved by boat again → jumped into the sea and swam!! It was quite physically demanding with all that repetition.
バスの移動中から色々とハワイのことをお話してくださったりして退屈しませんでした。イルカはボチボチくらいしか見れませんでしたけど、まぁまぁ楽しかったです。船でイルカを求めて移動→イルカ発見で海へ→ひたすらイルカを追いかけ泳ぐ!!→また船で移動→海へ飛び込み泳ぐ!!の繰り返しで結構、体力的にしんどいです。
Thank you for participating. 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。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

I participated in this tour seeking to interact with dolphins. It’s a popular tour, and since there were no openings at my preferred time, I joined the 9:30 start course. However, we arrived at Sea Life Park after 9:30, and perhaps to shorten the program time, the distance we swam with the dolphins was shorter than expected, which was disappointing. (Those in the later program swam a longer distance with the dolphins.) Aside from that, I was satisfied to swim with the dolphins. Two dolphins pushed against the soles of my feet, and I was able to hold onto their dorsal fins while swimming. As a 55-year-old man, I felt a bit shy about kissing a dolphin. My wife took some great photos of the moment. The Royal Swim program is a bit pricey, but you can't swim with them in other programs. I recommend the later time slots.
イルカとのふれ合いを求めてこのツアーに参加しました。
人気ツアーで、希望時間に空きが無かったので、9:30スタートのコースに参加しましたが、シーライフパーク到着は9:30を過ぎてしまっており、プログラムの時間短縮を目指してなのか、イルカと泳ぐ距離が短かく残念でした。(遅い時間のプログラムの人は長い距離をイルカと泳いでいた。)
その点を除き、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができ満足でした。
2頭のイルカが足の裏を押してくれたり、2頭の背びれにつかまって泳いだりできました。
55歳の男にとっては、イルカとキスをするのは照れました。写真は家内にしっかり撮ってもらいましたが・・・。
ロイヤルスイムのプログラムは少し高価ですが、その他では一緒に泳げません。遅い時間のプログラムがお勧めです。

The staff gets two stars for doing their job but the excursion itself is misleading and therefore gets zero stars. We had three children ages 5, 7 and 9. We unfortunatlely sat in the last two rows of the pontoon and pretty much missed the entire dolphin and whale sightings due to the stingy adults who would immediately stand up and hog the sights with their cameras. One of the sweet staff boys did accompany our 5 and 7 year olds to the front of the boat during the first sighting but then a few adults moved to that same spot to crowd so the kids moved back to the end with us. Complete inconsideration but perhaps I am more conscious of sharing space and views with others.
Anyway, we snorkeled for roughly thirty five minutes in one spot, jumped on the pontoon and cruised in a large circle outside the industrial plant for about an hour and a half then anchored for a second snorkel location. This time only about eight people snorkeled (40 people) due to exhaustion and boredom... And to top it off, the lunch was either room temp chicken thigh or room temp shredded pork, questionably warm pineapple and strawberry salad and an oversized bun with generous lettuce and tomatoes. Overall this activity should have been thirty dollars max and lunch optional since it was inedible. If you have small children under 12, and actually want to snorkel longer than forty five minutes, then seek else where.

I was able to interact with dolphins for the first time. It's a rare experience that you can't easily have, and I can brag about it to my friends after returning to Japan. The price is high, but I think it's worth it. There's a huge difference between doing it and not doing it.
初めてイルカと触れ合えました。こんな貴重な体験はなかなか出来ないしにほんに戻った後も友達に自慢出来ます。料金は高いですがやる価値はあると思います。やるのとやらないのでは全然違いますよ

I was disappointed because I had only seen the sea turtles once, despite reading experiences where people encountered them multiple times. Since we had to wear life jackets, I couldn't dive in, and I just watched them swim by, which felt anticlimactic.
It depends on the weather and the experience of the guide, so I understand that it's not always possible, but I had hoped to see them for a longer time. I think those who are not used to snorkeling might have seen even less.
Regarding the tip, I hadn't made any special requests, and there was no particular service provided, yet I was quite forcefully asked for a tip. I reluctantly paid, but it was the first time I had been asked for a tip on an optional tour. I was not satisfied with that.
【何回もいるかに会えました】の体験談を読んでいたためか、一度しか見られなかったので、残念でした。ライフジャケットを着用しなければならなかったので、潜ってみることも出来ず、海の中を通り過ぎていくのを見ただけで、あっけなく終わってしまいました。
当日の気候や、引率の方の経験に左右されるので、仕方のないことですが、もっとゆっくり見ていられると期待していました。シュノーケリングに慣れていない方は、もっと見られなかったと思います。
それからチップに関してですが、、特別なお願いもしていませんでしたし、対応もされてなかったのですが、チップをかなり強引に求められました。仕方なく払いましたが、オプショナルツアーで、チップを求められたのは、初めてです。納得できませんでした。

I have seen wild dolphins several times before, but this was the most exciting experience yet. First of all, I was amazed by the number of dolphins! There must have been at least 100 (and that's not an exaggeration). I was really glad to see so many dolphins. The staff members were also a fun group. During the snorkeling time, I encountered a turtle. I wished I could have stayed in the ocean even longer.
これまで野生のイルカは何度か見ましたが、今までで1番興奮しました。
まず、イルカの数にビックリ‼100頭はいたでしょうか?(大袈裟ではないです)
あんなに大勢のイルカを見れて本当に良かったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しいメンバーでした。
シュノーケルの時間も、亀に出会えました。
もっともっと海に居たかったです。
