I was able to see so many dolphins! It seems to be the season when baby dolphins are around, and their cuddly appearance was adorable. When I was snorkeling and lost track of where they were, the staff on the boat pointed them out, so I could find them right away. I also got to see a rare seal, which made it a very lucky day.
I'm glad I rented a wetsuit. With it, I could float without a life jacket, and since it got colder, I think it was essential. The staff really made an effort to show us many dolphins, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling time. I had a great time!!
本当にたくさんのイルカを見ることができました!
ちょうど赤ちゃんイルカがいる時期らしく、一緒にくっついている
姿がかわいかったです。シュノーケルで潜っているときに、どこにいるか
見失っても、ボートからスタッフの方が、あっちだと指さしてくれるので
すぐに見つけることができました。珍しいアザラシも見ることができ
とてもラッキーな日だったと思います。
ウエットスーツはやっぱり借りてよかったです。
あればライフジャケットなしでも浮いていられるし、だんだん寒く

とても充実した時間になりました。楽しかったです!!

I'm glad I chose this place, even though there were many similar activities available. After just five minutes on the boat, I was able to swim with the dolphins, and I also had the chance to watch them swim alongside the boat for a while, which was very satisfying. I was also able to see the turtles up close. It would be even better if they could sell only the photos that include us.
似たようなアクティブたくさんありましたが、ここにしてよかったと思います。
イルカは船に乗って5分後には一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、そのあとも船の横を並んで泳ぐのをじっくり見れたりと、とても満足出来ました。
亀もじっくり見ることができました。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat!
There were baby dolphins doing spinning jumps everywhere. Even when I watched the video later, I was very moved.
Next was snorkeling.
It was my first time snorkeling. On top of that, I can only swim dog paddle, but thanks to the buoyancy, even though my position was unstable, I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and rays in the ocean.
I think those with snorkeling experience or who can swim will enjoy it even more!
ボートからたくさんのイルカたちが見れました‼
あちこちで子イルカ達が回転ジャンプをしていていました。

次はシュノーケル。
私はシュノーケルは始めて。おまけに泳ぎは犬かきのみですが、浮力で体勢が不安定ながら海の中でもイルカとウミガメ、エイを見る事ができました。

Picked up near the hotel just after 6 AM. It took about an hour to reach the harbor, and during the bus ride, our cute and fun guide, who looked like a half-model, explained various things to us. According to the guide, the weather is starting to get colder, so everyone borrowed wetsuits. This choice turned out to be a good one… it also helps prevent sunburn.
When we arrived at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and set off! Unexpectedly, we encountered a pod of dolphins right away and started snorkeling. It was overwhelming to see wild dolphins up close for the first time… we were really lucky to meet so many dolphins so quickly! The staff were also moved by the experience.
Since we didn’t spend much time searching for dolphins, we had a longer snorkeling session at another location afterward. Here, we were able to see many sea turtles and vibrant tropical fish, which was also amazing! Actually, I was so impressed by the snorkeling on the previous moon tour that this experience felt even more special… (>_<) Even with a decent number of participants, the snorkeling points at Dolphin School are spacious, so it doesn’t feel crowded, and the water clarity and number of fish were significantly better.
There seems to be a full-day Dolphin University tour as well, but I think it was a good choice to go with this one since it’s less physically demanding. It also seemed like there were fewer people here. There were a couple of girls who were down due to seasickness or fatigue, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
A friend who enjoys diving was also impressed. It’s a highly satisfying tour! I recommend it!!
朝6時過ぎに宿泊ホテル近くでピックアップ。
片道1時間くらいかけてハーバーまで向かいましたが、行きのバスの中では
ハーフモデルのような可愛くて楽しいガイドさんがいろいろ解説をしてくれました。
ガイドさんによると、そろそろ寒くなってくる季節とのことで全員がウェットスーツを借りました。
この選択は正解だったなあ…日焼け防止にもなるし。
ハーバーに着くと、ウェットスーツを着て出発!
予想外にもすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇し、シュノーケリング開始。生まれて初めて間近で見る野生のイルカたちに感無量…とってもラッキーだったみたいで、こんなにたくさんのイルカたちにすぐに会えるなんて!とスタッフさんたちも皆感動。
イルカ探しに時間がかからなかったので、その後の別の場所でのシュノーケリング時間が長くなりました。
ここでも、沢山のウミガメと鮮やかな熱帯魚を見ることができてまたも感動!
実は、このツアーの前に参加していた月のツアーでのシュノーケリングがあんまりよくなったので感動もひとしおで…(>_<)
イルカ中学は、参加人数がある程度いてもシュノーケリングポイントが広いのでごちゃごちゃしないし、海の透明度も魚の数も格段に上でした。
1日がかりのイルカ大学もあるようですが、結構体力を消耗するのでこちらにしてよかったと思っています。人数もこちらの方が少なそうだし。
船酔いか疲れたのかダウンしていた女の子が2,3人いたので、心配な人は酔い止め薬必須かも。
ダイビングが趣味の友人も感動していました。かなり満足度の高いツアーです(^^)おすすめ!!

On that day, the dolphins were swimming very fast, and I couldn't see them much.
Everyone was concerned and asked if I saw them, but even though I hadn't, I ended up giving a typical Japanese response of "I saw them." So, my time with the dolphins came to an end. I should have honestly said that I didn't see them much.
I was glad to see two turtles up close, though.
イルカがこの日はとても早く泳いでおり、あまり見れませんでした。

You could rent a wetsuit for $10, and almost everyone did. Those who didn't looked really cold, so I thought it would be better to include that cost in the overall fee. It's a hassle to carry cash. When we went, we encountered a rare pod of dolphins, which was a once-in-a-year experience! The dolphins approached us!! We could even hear their sounds, and it was very moving!! After that, we seemed to have some extra time, so we headed out to look for other types of dolphins... Luckily, we encountered another pod, and the dolphins swam around the boat and jumped, which was amazing!! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as we got to see sea turtles. It was a very satisfying tour.

I participated at the request of my elementary school child who loves dolphins. The park was an hour away by large bus, but the scenery from the window was wonderful, so I didn't mind the long travel time at all.
During the interaction time with the dolphins, there was a Japanese instructor assigned to each group who provided careful explanations, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We got to see the cute dolphins up close, pet them, and shake hands. My child, as well as I, who was just accompanying them, were very satisfied.
One thing that concerned me was that at the start of the program's pre-explanation, we were suddenly asked to sign a liability waiver (essentially stating that the park is not responsible for any accidents, and that insurance is also waived, etc.). It would be appreciated if we could be informed in advance (at the time of booking) if a signature on the liability waiver is required. I think some people might have reservations about this, but at the same time, we couldn't participate without signing it...
Aside from that point, it was a satisfying program.
イルカが大好きな小学生の子供のリクエストで参加しました。
パークまで大型バスで1時間と長い距離でしたが、途中の車窓が素晴らしく、時間の長さはまったく気になりませんでした。
イルカとの触れ合いの時間は、グループに一人、日本人のインストラクターの方がついて丁寧な説明をしてくださるので安心して楽しむことができました。かわいいイルカを間近で見て、なでなでしたり、握手をしたり、子供はもちろんのこと、付き添い気分だった私も大満足でした。
一点気になったのは、プログラムの事前説明開始時に突然、保険免責の書類(要は何か事故があってもパークには責任はありません、保険も免責になります云々・・)に同意の署名を求められたことです。保険免責の同意書に署名が必要な場合は、事前に(予約時に)周知しておいていただけたらありがたいです。それに抵抗がある方もいらっしゃると思いますし、かと言って、それに署名をしないことには参加させてもらえないのですし・・・。
その点以外は満足できるプログラムでした。

We had a wonderful time! Spending time with a dolphin was a great experience.
It was my first time interacting directly with a dolphin. Just being in the same pool made me feel excited, and at first, I was a bit hesitant to touch it. The instructors were very friendly and made it enjoyable. Overall, the fun interactions were in English, but they provided important information in Japanese. Even if you can't speak any English, a Japanese person will explain everything at the beginning. Once you're in the pool, I think you can just watch what others are doing and follow along without any issues. For anyone who even slightly likes dolphins, this will surely be a wonderful memory!
Additionally, since it was a weekday, the park was not crowded, and we could take our time enjoying it.

I participated on April 17, 2013. The weather was great, and I was able to swim with over 100 dolphins! I also saw about two sea turtles, and to my surprise, I was able to see a whale from the boat, which I thought was out of season. I felt like I had been saving my luck for this moment since I hadn't been very lucky lately.
One group probably had around 20 to 30 dolphins, and I went into the water three times, encountering them twice. I swam with four or five groups, so there might have been around 150 dolphins in total. It was just so lucky.
Our guide, Minako, was very clear in her explanations and had a bright personality, which was wonderful. I forgot the name, but Captain Papa? also took us accurately to the points, and during the whale watching, he kindly waited on the spot from when we dove until we surfaced.
My mother, who was with me, decided to stay on the boat at one point, saying, "I don't want to go in the water anymore today," but Minako frequently encouraged her not to push herself, so she was able to rest without hesitation. Since it was a tour with many entries, quite a few people chose to rest on the boat during the second session (snorkeling at the tropical fish and sea turtle points).
Even though the weather was nice, we had been snorkeling for quite a while, so it got quite cold, and the warm tea we received on the boat was much appreciated. The snacks were also quite delicious. I devoured a cinnamon pastry and cheese. I was a bit concerned about the calories in the cereal bar, so I took it home.
I really had a great time. I definitely want to take my husband, who stayed home this time, with me next time.

お天気にも恵まれ、なんと100頭を超すイルカと泳ぐことができました!
ウミガメも2頭ほど見ることができ、おまけに時期が終わったかと思われたクジラも船の上から見ることができました。最近何かとツイていなかったので、「このために運をとっていたのか?」と思うほどでした。
ひとつの群れがたぶん2,30頭で、3回海に入って2回遭遇、4、5グループと一緒に泳ぐことができたので、もしかすると150頭くらいかもです。とにかくラッキーでした。
ガイドのミナコさんの説明はわかりやすく、明るい人柄でとても良かったです。お名前を忘れてしまったのですが、キャプテンパパ?もポイントまで的確に連れて行って下さり、ホエールの時も潜ってから浮き上がるまでその場で待機してくださるなど、親切でした。
同行の母が途中、「ちょっと今日はもう水に入りたくない」と船上に残っていたのですが、無理しないで~とミナコさんが頻繁におっしゃってくださっていたので、遠慮せず休むことができました。エントリー回数の多いツアーだったので、2時限目(熱帯魚やウミガメのポイントでのシュノーケル)はさすがに船上でお休みされる方が多かったです。
良いお天気と言えども、結構な時間シュノーケルしていたので冷えてしまい、船上でいただいた温かいお茶はありがたかったです。スナックも結構おいしかったです。シナモン系の菓子パンとチーズぺろりと食べてしまいました。シリアルバーはさすがにカロリーが気になって持ち帰りました。

This is my sixth time in Hawaii! I've wanted to join this tour for a while, and I finally participated this time.
Once we arrived at the port, we put on our wetsuits and immediately boarded the boat. The water temperature is low during this season, and the boat is fast, so being exposed to the wind the whole time was quite cold. Renting a wetsuit for $10 was definitely the right choice. By the way, everyone in the group rented one (laughs).
We set sail and searched for about two hours. Ultimately, we headed north up to just before the North Shore, but there was no sign of dolphins, and everyone was getting tired.
At that moment, we encountered a whale! It's rare to see one at this time of year. Everyone was thrilled by this unexpected encounter.
So, what about the dolphins? We received information from another boat that they were near the port! It was a case of "right under the lighthouse." We quickly headed south and managed to meet the dolphins. Depending on the day, there can be hundreds of them, but there were only a few on this day. However, I was really glad to see them clearly with my own eyes and to swim close to them.
After that, we moved to a snorkeling point and got to swim with about five sea turtles. They came close enough to touch.
The staff's energy was incredibly high throughout, so if you're not a fan of that kind of lively student-like atmosphere, it might be a bit overwhelming. Also, it's quite intense, so I don't think it's suitable for those who lack physical stamina or for older individuals. It really drains your energy.
I wonder if it varies by day? I've heard there are days when they can be found easily, which might make it easier. We had quite a struggle finding them. When we finally spotted them, it was like "Let's go!" and everyone jumped in at once (there were also people from other companies), so it got crowded, and I ended up getting kicked by someone’s fin.
But it all became a great memory.
ハワイは6回目!前からこのツアーに参加してみたく、今回ついに参加してきました。
港についたら、ウェットスーツを着用しすぐに船に乗り込みます。
この時期は水温も低いし、船は高速ですのでずーと風にさらされ寒いので借りて
大正解。有料で10ドルです。ちなみに参加者の全員が借りていました(笑)
出航して、2時間くらい??探し回りました。最終的にはノースショアの手前まで
北上し探しましたがイルカ先生は全くいる気配がなく、みんなお疲れモード。
そんな時に、クジラに遭遇!この時期にいるのは珍しいとのこと。
思わぬ出会いにみんな喜んでいました。
で、イルカ先生は?仲間の船から、港の近くにいるとの情報が!灯台下暗しですかね。
いっきに南下し、なんとかイルカ先生に会うことができました。
日によっては何百匹といるそうですが、この日は数頭でした。
しかしこの目でハッキリと見ることができたし、近くで泳ぐことができて本当に
良かったです。
その後はシュノーケルポイントに移動して、亀大教授と泳ぐこともできました。
5匹くらいいましたよ。触れるくらい近くまで来てくれました。
スタッフのテンションが終始バカ高いので、そういう学生ノリの賑やかなのが苦手な方は苦痛かも?
しかも結構なスパルタなので、体力に自信のない方、高齢の方には向いてないと思います。ものすごく体力を消耗します。
日によるのかな??すぐに見つかる日もあるらしいから、そういう日は楽チンなのかも。私達はなかなか見つからず苦労しましたからね。
みつかった瞬間、それいけーーーーって感じで、みんなが一斉に飛び込み(他の会社の連中もいるから)混みあっていて、前の人のフィンで蹴られる始末です。
でも全部がいい想い出になりました。

Overall, this place is mainly about interacting with dolphins. It is well thought out, and if you love dolphins, I think you'll be very satisfied. The scale as a marine theme park is not very large, so you might find yourself with some free time before the bus departs. If possible, visiting by rental car might help you make better use of your time.
You can't bring cameras into the dolphin interaction pool, so you'll need to purchase photos and videos, but they take beautiful pictures, making the seemingly high cost of the photos feel worthwhile. However, it is still expensive.
とにもかくにもイルカとの触れ合いがメインの場所。それ自体はよく考えられていてイルカが好きならとても満足出来ると思う。海洋テーマパークとして規模もあまり大きくなく、帰りのバスの出発まで時間を持て余すかも。出来ればレンタカーで訪れた方が時間を有効に使えるかもしれない。
イルカと触れあうプールにはカメラを持ち込めないので写真やビデオは購入することになるが、綺麗な写真を撮ってくれるので高いと感じる写真代も惜しくはない感じはする。が、やはり高い。

We went as a family. We decided to go because we could interact with dolphins, and it was a wonderful experience. We departed from a certain hotel’s meeting point, and it was easy to find the designated bus. However, the information on the bus was mostly in English, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not comfortable with the language. Once we arrived at the site, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so you can feel at ease. The pool was deeper than I expected, and although we wore life jackets, younger children from kindergarten to early elementary school may not be able to touch the bottom, so they need to be supported by an adult. The instructor provided very thorough explanations in mostly English. They let us interact with the dolphins, and it was a lot of fun. The kids were thrilled. I definitely want to go again.
家族で行ってみました。
イルカが触れ合うことが出来るということで行ってみたのですが、非常に良い経験が出来ました。某ホテルの集合場所から行ったのですが、指定のバスはすぐ分かったのですが、バスの中でのインフォメーションは、ほぼ英語の為、苦手な方は、少し辛いかも知れません。現地に着くと日本語を話すスタッフがおりますので安心して下さい。プールは思ったより深く、ライフジャケットは着るものの、幼稚園~小学生の低学年程度だと足が付かないため、引率者が支えている必要があります。プールの中では、インストラクターの方が非常に丁寧に説明をしてくれます。ほぼ英語です。そしてイルカと触れ合わせてくれるのですが、とても楽しめます。子供も大喜びでした。また、是非行きたいと思います。

My wife had visited in 2005, and on her recommendation, I took our children for our first visit. Compared to 2005, there were more staff who could speak Japanese, which made us feel at ease while playing. The kids were thrilled to interact with the dolphins. The DVD we had taken while playing with the dolphins was reasonably priced and the content was satisfying.
カミさんは2005年にも訪れた事があり、その勧めで僕と子供たちは初めて訪問しました。
2005年と比べ日本語対応のスタッフが増えていて、安心して遊ぶことができました。
子供たちもイルカとのふれあいに大喜びでした。
イルカと遊んでいるときに撮ってもらったDVDは、良心的な価格で、内容も満足いくものでした。

I was very moved to see the dolphins! Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I guess that's just how nature is. The energy is really high, so I think those who can keep up will have a great time. However, I might not recommend it for those who want a more peaceful experience...
イルカが見られたのはとても感動しました!残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでしたが自然相手なのでしょうがないかなと思います。
テンションがすごく高い感じなのでそれについていける人はとっても楽しと思います。静かな感じで楽しみたい人にはあまりお勧めできないかも・・・。

We had a hard time finding dolphins and only spotted a group of six just in the nick of time. We finally went snorkeling, but we couldn't swim with them properly. We were disappointed as we had to head back due to time constraints, but thanks to the driver's consideration, we got a second chance. During the second attempt, we were able to swim quite close to them and had a great time.
なかなかイルカが見つからず、時間ギリギリで六頭だけの群れを発見。ようやくシュノーケルをしましたが、ちゃんと一緒に泳げず。時間が無いので帰るということになりガッカリしましたが、運転手の計らいで再度のチャレンジ。二回目はかなり近くで泳ぐことが出来て、楽しむことができました。

I was worried about whether I could wake up properly since we had an early morning meeting, but I did my best to meet Dolphin Sensei. It takes about an hour by car, but the staff member, Julie, was so entertaining that we arrived in no time.
Since it's cold this season, we rented wet suits (for a fee) and set off! Along the way, we encountered sea turtles and whales. Several times!!
However, I was feeling down because we couldn't meet Dolphin Sensei. But the staff worked hard to find them, and in the end, we were able to swim with the dolphins. I'm grateful to the staff for their perseverance.
The mother and baby dolphins were so cute!
朝早い時間の集合だったので、ちゃんと起きられるか不安でいたが、
イルカ先生に会うためにがんばりました。
車で1時間くらいのところなのですが、車中ではスタッフのジュリさんのトークがおもしろくて
あっという間に着きます。
この時期は寒いのでウエットスーツを借りて(有料)出港!
途中ウミガメ、クジラに遭遇しました。何回も!!
しかし、肝心のイルカ先生には会えなくて、ブルーになっていました。
が、スタッフの方が一生懸命さがしてくださり、最後イルカと一緒におよぐことができました。
根気強くさがしてくれたスタッフに感謝です。
親子のイルカ、かわいかたなぁ

I participated while feeling scared because I can't swim, but since I wore a life jacket, I was able to float and had a lot of fun! The staff were cheerful, which lifted my spirits, and I had a wonderful day being healed by the cute dolphins.
泳げないので怖がりながら参加しましたが、ライフジャケット着用だったのでプカプカうけるし楽しく参加できました!
スタッフさんが明るくて気分も上がり、カワイイイルカに癒されたイイ1日になりました。

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter Tour at Sea Life Park. I was very satisfied with the local staff and the tour content. During the interaction with the dolphins, there were photo and DVD opportunities available for purchase later. After the Dolphin Encounter, you can freely explore the shows within the facility. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
シーライフパークのドルフィンエンカウンターツアーに参加しました。現地スタッフやツアー内容にはとても満足しています。イルカと触れ合っているところは、写真やDVDの撮影があり、後で購入できます。ドルフィンエンカウンターが終わった後は施設内のショーを自由に見学することができます。
全体的に大変満足のいくツアーでした。
