Great boat, wonderful crew and a delicous meal just the icing on the cake to the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen. Hawaii sunsets are pretty sitting on the beach but you can't beat the beauty of seeing it out on the water. This tour is out in west Oahu (Koolina) far away from waikiki which is exactly what we were looking for!

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)
However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.
As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.
結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。(これは運が悪かった)
しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、
シュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができた!
なにより現地のスタッフであるピーターさんが
非常に日本語も流暢であり、説明もうまく、
対応もすばらしかった。
移動中もいろいろと話ができ、とても満足のいく内容xでした。
補足ですが、ホテルからのピックアップから現地への
移動中にオバマ氏出身高校や、日立の木を見る事ができ、
移動スタッフの対応もよかったです。
次回ハワイにいけるようでしたら、またこのプランを
選ぼうと思います。

We participated as a family of four on Christmas Day. This has been our annual tradition of traveling to Hawaii for the past ten years, and for the last two or three years, we had been really interested in the dolphin tour. I'm so glad we decided to sign up this time. My daughters (22 and 20 years old) were truly thrilled to see such cute dolphins so close... They were really impressed, saying it was a tour that perfectly matched the name Dolphin You "Dolphins and Me"! When we got on the boat, it was incredibly cold, but the warm hospitality from the staff and the delicious cheese taro burgers we had, along with sweet cakes for Christmas, made us feel pampered. Everyone was very satisfied with Dolphin You. If we have the chance, we would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much.
家族4名でクリスマスの日に参加。10年前からの、毎年恒例のハワイ旅行で、ここ2、3年、ずーっと気になってたイルカツアー。思い切って今回申し込んでよかったです。娘達は(22歳、20歳)可愛いいイルカがあんなに直ぐ側で見られるなんて・・・とホントに大感激しておりました。まさに、ドルフィンユー「イルカとわたし」のネーミングにぴったりなツアーだ!と妙に感心しておりました~♪船にあがると、ものすごく、寒かったですけど、暖かいスタッフの皆様のおもてなしと、美味しいチーズたろいものバーガーをいただいたり、クリスマスということで、甘いケーキまで、ご馳走になり、何から何まで、至れりつくせりのドルフィンユーにみんな大満足でした。機会があれば、また、このツアーに参加したいです!!ありがとうございました。

This time, my husband and our sons, who are in first and sixth grade, participated. They seemed very happy to see a pod of wild dolphins up close, which they had been looking forward to. They were also impressed by the sea turtles, beautiful fish, and the clear ocean. They happily talked about how delicious the hamburger made with taro bread was, which they ate on the boat, and how they danced the hula after getting off the boat.
During this trip, I let the kids experience various activities, but the most fun thing they both said was the "dolphin tour!" I'm glad we participated.
今回、夫と小1・小6の息子たちが参加しました。
楽しみにしていた野生のイルカの群れを間近に見ることができて、とてもうれしかったようです。
また、海ガメやきれいな魚たち、透き通った海に感動していました。
また、船の上で食べたタロイモのパンで作ったハンバーガーがとても美味しかった事、船を降りてからフラダンスを踊ったことを楽しそうに話してくれました。

the sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the dolphins were swimming, the reef was closer to the surface. But it wasn't, not any. No sailing because of no wind. No sun. No dolphins. I'm near sighted, so the reef, in the sunless water, was too darn deep for me to really see. Got a re-ride ticket - but what good is that going to do me? This was a once in a lifetime trip. I didn't score it worse, cause the "catatonics" helped my mood, and I absolutely love the ocean, no matter what.

I had been curious about the tour where you can swim with dolphins for a long time. Previously, I participated in a "dolphin watching tour" where I could only see dolphins from a boat. It was enjoyable, but just watching felt a bit unsatisfying, so I definitely wanted to join a tour where I could swim with dolphins next time.
After considering various tours, I was drawn to this one not only because you can swim with dolphins, but also because it includes a "chant" (prayer) before entering the water and hula lessons, allowing me to experience Hawaiian culture. I decided to sign up. I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but once I got into the water, I forgot all about that, and when I saw the dolphins up close, all my worries disappeared!
They picked me up early in the morning from a nearby hotel, and after about an hour, I was moved by the sunrise over Diamond Head that I could see from the car. My anticipation for the tour grew. As soon as we arrived at the harbor, we boarded the boat. The staff welcomed us with ukulele music. After chanting and offering flowers to the sea, dolphins quickly gathered around the boat, and we jumped into the water right away.
I was truly amazed to see dolphins swimming so close! There were about 30 of them, including mother and baby dolphins. The water was beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom just with snorkeling. At that time, I was also able to see honu (sea turtles) and rays!
On the boat, the staff entertained us with various performances.
This experience will definitely be unforgettable in my life. I truly felt it was worth participating.
ずっ~と前から気になっていたイルカと一緒に泳げるツアー。
以前、単なる船上からイルカを見る「イルカウォッチングのツアー」に参加した事があったのですが、楽しくはあったけど、見るだけではなんだか物足りなさを感じ、次回は絶対自分も一緒にイルカと泳げるツアーに参加したいと思っていました。
そして色々なツアーを検討した結果、こちらのツアーの、イルカと一緒に泳げるのはもちろん、海に入る前に「チャント(お祈り)」をするところや、フラレッスン等、ハワイの文化にも触れられる事に魅力を感じ、申し込みする事に決めました。
今回は一人での参加で楽しめるのかどうか不安もありましたが、実際に海に入ってしまえばそんな事は気にならず、イルカを目の前にしたら、そんな不安も吹き飛びました!
早朝近くのホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、そこから約1時間、
途中、車の中から見えたダイアモンドヘッドの朝焼けにも感動。これからのツアーの期待が膨らみました。
港に着きすぐに乗船。スタッフがウクレレを演奏し私達を迎えてくれました。
そして、チャントを唱えお花を海に捧げると、すぐにイルカ達が船の周りに集まっていて、早速海に飛び込みます。
本当に間近をイルカ達が泳いでいるのに感動!!
しかも30頭ぐらいの大群。親子のイルカもいました。
海も綺麗で、シュノーケルだけでも充分海の底まで見えます。
この時は、イルカの他にホヌ(海亀)や、エイなども見ることができました!!
船上でも、スタッフの方達が色々なパフォーマンスをしてくれ、私たちを楽しませてくれました。
この感動は、人生の中でも忘れられないものになると思います。
本当に参加して良かったと思いました。

You absolutely have to participate!! For everyone going to Hawaii!!
Even if you're hesitant because of the price, you will have an experience that is worth it, or even more than that. Don't worry if you can't speak English! It's fine to go alone!! By the way, this is my fifth time participating, and it was my first time going alone, but I thought I want to go again. Of course, I can't speak English. But I was able to communicate a lot with the boat staff and had a great time.
I definitely encountered dolphins all five times. This time, the dolphin was a bottlenose dolphin, which is different from the spinner dolphins I swam with before, but it was so impressive!! We made eye contact underwater!! They were looking at me, glancing back and forth♪ Not just one, but many!! It was moving. I could clearly hear the dolphins' voices too.
As a bonus, there is a dedicated photographer on board, so they capture great photos on the boat and underwater. It's a separate fee for purchasing, but it's the perfect keepsake for memories!!
This tour is something you can truly enjoy, whether with family, a partner, friends, or even alone like I did!! If you have even a little interest, you absolutely have to go; otherwise, you'll miss out on life!!!
絶対に参加するべきですよ!!ハワイに行かれる皆さん!!
お値段で躊躇してしまった方もそれに見合った、いやそれ以上の体験ができます。
英語ができなくっても大丈夫!一人でも大丈夫!!
ちなみに今回で私は5回目の参加で初の一人でしたが、また行こうって思いました。もちろん英語はできません。でもボートスタッフの方ともたくさんコミュニケーションとれて楽しい時間が過ごせました。
5回全部確実にイルカちゃんに遭遇しましたよ。
今回のイルカちゃんは今まで一緒に泳いだスピナーちゃんとは種類が違うバンドーイルカちゃんでしたが、迫力満点!!海の中で目が合うの!!こっちを、ちらっちらっって♪1頭じゃなくって何頭も!!感動でした。イルカちゃん達の声もしっかり聞えるし。
おまけに、専属カメラマンさんが同乗しているのでボートの上での写真や海の中での写真などしっかり抑えてくれてます。購入する形なので別料金が必要ですが思い出には最高の品ですよ!!
家族と恋人と友達とはもちろん今回の私みたいに一人でも心から楽しめるTourですよーー!!
少しでも興味をもった方は絶対に行かないと人生損です!!!

This time, we came to Hawaii as a family for a wedding. We thought about doing some family activities, so we participated in a tour with Dolphin and You. I was a bit anxious since we had my 4-year-old nephew with us, but he was very happy to ride in a kayak and see dolphins up close, which relieved me!
There were many dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish swimming nearby, and it was very moving. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making it a really enjoyable activity. The BBQ burgers they grilled on the boat were also very delicious. The hula lesson was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Hawaii.
Additionally, they offered to sell a DVD and a photo CD-ROM, and when I got home and looked at the photos, they turned out beautifully, which was truly moving again.

This time, I signed up for this tour because I wanted to meet dolphins. It was my parents' first trip to Hawaii (their second overseas trip), and my mother was nervous because she couldn't swim, but the staff were very kind and made it enjoyable for us. Their attention to detail was excellent, and both my parents and we had a great time. My father was moved to see dolphins and many colorful fish up close while snorkeling. We were also very happy to see our parents enjoying themselves!!
We had experience diving and swimming with dolphins before, but meeting dolphins is something we can enjoy no matter how many times we do it! The cheeseburgers made by the captain were also very delicious.
今回、イルカに会いたくてこのツアーに申し込みました。両親も始めてのハワイ旅行(海外2回目)で、母は泳げず緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しませてくれ、心配りも最高で、両親も私たちもとても楽しむことができました。父は、イルカやシュノーケルでたくさんのカラフルな魚を近くで見て、感動していました。私たちもそんな両親の姿をみてとてもうれしかったです!!

I had only moderate expectations for this tour, wondering if I would even get to see dolphins. I apologize for underestimating it!
From the moment we boarded, the staff was energetic, and after a brief prayer for our journey, dolphins appeared almost immediately! My 6-year-old son, who was snorkeling for the first time, dashed down the boat's stairs and jumped into the sea. We saw dolphins spinning on the surface, and underwater, there was a dolphin right in front of us... doing its business?! Before we knew it, our child had paddled far away in a kayak.
The clarity of the water, the proximity and number of dolphins, the variety of fish, and the staff's service (not just energetic but also kind and attentive) were all top-notch!
I participated in a snorkeling tour at a different location on another day, but none of those experiences could compare to this one. The hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious. Even the "hula lesson," which I thought would be just a bonus, turned out to be quite enjoyable. My swimsuit dried nicely too!
It's undeniable that this trip created the most fun memories for our entire family.
イルカに会えるかな~、程度の期待だったこのツアー。
軽くみてました ゴメンナサイ(#^_^#)
乗船からノリノリのスタッフ、旅立ちの祈りもそこそこに

I went on this cruise with a few of my friends, and it was worth every penny. It was one of the best things that we did in Hawaii. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and we found schools of both spinner and bottlenosed dolphins. The crew took the time to share their knowledge of these gorogeous creatures and the captain made sure to stay with them long enough that every single person on the cruise got plenty of great pictures. Then came the snorkleing which was both unique and beatuiful. They fed the fish which allowed all of us to see the beautiful sea life up close and personal. We even saw sea turtle. On the way back the food was fantastic and the ride on the boat was just perfect. I would recommend this to anyway. We went on the 11:30 cruise and i think the dinner cruise would be fantastic as well. Great time, and highly recommeneded.

It was so much fun! That's definitely my impression. Swimming with a pod of dolphins is an experience you can't easily have. Since returning to Japan, I've been showing photos to all my friends and recommending it. If you go to Hawaii, you must do this! The Japanese and local staff were all very kind, which was a big plus. It was also a wonderful memory to pray together and dance the hula in Hawaii. Looking at the photos still makes me smile, as everyone in Hawaii is so cheerful. Thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, the travel felt quick and effortless, and even though it was my seventh time on Oahu, it was my first time in West Oahu, which was great. I really understood that Oahu is not just about Waikiki, the North Shore, or Hanauma Bay. The ocean surrounding the island is beautiful from every direction. It was also great to swim with sea turtles, not just dolphins. The water clarity was higher than that of the Red Sea or Caribbean, and there are unique tropical fish in Hawaii, so it never gets boring. You absolutely must participate!
楽しかった!絶対参加すべき!ってのが私の感想です。イルカの群と泳ぐ経験はなかなかできるもんじゃありません~。日本に帰ってから友達みんなに写真を見せてお薦めしています。ハワイに行ったら是非!日本人やローカルのスタッフもみんな親切だったのも二重丸。一緒にハワイのお祈りしたり、フラダンスを踊ったのも素敵な思い出です。ハワイの人ってみんな陽気だな~って写真見ながら今でも顔が笑ってしまいます。スタッフのテンションのお陰で移動もあっと言う間で何とも感じなかったし、オアフ島7回目の私も西オアフは初めてだったのでそこも良かったなあ。オアフ島はワイキキやノースショアやハナウマベイだけじゃないってことがよーく分かりました。四方を囲んでいる海は東西南北どこも素敵ってことでした。それとイルカだけじゃなくて海亀と一緒に泳げたのも良かったです。透明度は紅海かカリブ海よりも高かったし、熱帯魚もハワイの固有魚がいるので飽きません。絶対参加すべし!

I participated in this activity in early July 2008. The Japanese female guide was incredibly kind and friendly, which set a fun mood right from the hotel pickup. All the customers were Japanese. We moved west on Oahu in a van that could accommodate about 25 people. It was a comfortable drive, and before I knew it, we arrived. There was a restroom break before boarding the boat, which was great!
Just about 15 minutes after we set off on the boat, we spotted a pod of dolphins! Following our strong local guide, we went snorkeling. At first, the dolphins didn't come close, but after a while, one jumped right in front of us! They swirled around underwater, and it was incredibly exciting. After swimming with the dolphins, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three sea turtles. There were also many beautiful fish. Once we got out of the water, it was time for a hamburger made with taro bread! The scenery was beautiful, and after seeing the dolphins, tropical fish, and sea turtles, I was in the best mood! It was a fulfilling morning. Even after returning to Waikiki, I was still buzzing from the encounter with the dolphins.
2008年7月上旬に参加してきました。ガイドの日本人女性が凄く親切&フレンドリーでホテルの迎えの時点で楽しい気分に。お客さんは全員日本人でした。25人ぐらい乗る事のできるバンでオアフ島の西に移動。快適な運転で外の景色を見ていたらあっと言う間に到着しました。ボートに乗る前にトイレ休憩があったのもGOOD!ボートで出発して僅か15分ぐらいでドルフィンの群が!ローカルのたくましいガイドの後についてシュノーケリングをしました。最初は近くに寄ってこなかったけれど、暫くすると目の前でイルカがジャンプ!水中でもグルグル回って、物凄く興奮しました。イルカと一緒に泳いだ後は、シュノーケリングのポイント。ここで海亀が3匹いました。魚も綺麗でたくさんいました。海から上がるとタロイモのパンでできたハンバーガータイム!景色は綺麗だし、ドルフィンや熱帯魚や海亀を見た後だから気分は最高!充実した午前中でした。ワイキキに戻ってからもドルフィンに出会えた余韻が残ったままでしたよ~。

As soon as we spotted dolphins, we dove into the water and were able to see the pod right below us. For those who didn't see them the first time, we were allowed to dive again. After that, we had the freedom to swim at a point where there were turtles! We could also go canoeing. During the canoeing, the staff sang songs for us, which was very soothing (o´∀`o).

I participated with my daughter, and when we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat, I couldn't help but point my camera at them. We also fed fish, and colorful fish gathered around us; it was truly a dream-like experience.
I tend to get seasick easily, so I felt a bit unwell during the trip and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the hamburger. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. Also, don't forget your underwater camera.
During the hula dance lesson, we had a lot of fun laughing together. It was such an enjoyable lesson that it could inspire someone to start hula dancing. With everything packed into half a day, I have no complaints.
娘と二人で参加したのですが、イルカの群れを船上から発見したときは思わずカメラを向けてしまいました。他にも魚にパンをあげて色とりどりの魚が寄ってきたり、本当に夢のような時間でした。
私は船酔いがしやすいので、途中ちょっと具合が悪くなってしまったので、せっかくのハンバーガーを食べれなかったのが残念です。

I encountered wild dolphins for the first time on this tour. Although I missed them the first time, I was able to see them successfully at the next spot. Additionally, at the following point, I was able to see sea turtles as well, so overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.
However, I felt that putting on the snorkeling gear and swimming multiple times was a bit physically demanding.
The hamburgers and mangoes we had on the boat were perfect for my tired body.
I think the final hula dance lesson, taught by a local instructor, was a wonderful time filled with laughter.
このツアーで初めて野生のイルカと出会いました。一度目は失敗してしまいましたが、次のポイントで無事見ることができました。また、その次のポイントでは海ガメも見ることができたのでツアー全体としてはとても満足でした。
しかし、何度もシュノーケリングを装着したり、泳いだりするのは体力的にもちょっと大変だった気もします。
船上で食べるハンバーガーとマンゴーは疲れた身体に最適でした。

It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!
ずいぶんおくれての書き込みで失礼致します 3月に主人 私 娘8歳の3人で参加させていただきました シュノーケルは私と娘は初めてでしたので 慣れるまでは少し怖かったのですが なかなか前に進めない私たちを後ろから押して泳いでくださり いいポイントまで連れて行ってくださったり 船の上でも子供にもとても親切にしていただき スタッフの皆さんの優しい心遣いがとてもうれしかったです イルカがとても近くを泳いでいるときに娘に気をとられていて あわててもぐり イルカの群れを見れました 主人はとても近くで見れたと大喜びしていました 小さな魚や海亀のたまごも見ることができました そして 鯨の時期でもあったので 鯨がゆうゆうと泳ぐ姿 鯨ジャンプまで見れ興奮しました またハワイに行った際には 是非参加させていただきたいと思っています ありがとうございました

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.
There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.
The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.
The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.
We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.
Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.
The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.
I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.
2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。
総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。
キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。
ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。
お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。
シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。
ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。
イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!
朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です!!
イルカの群れを1m以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇! 船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード! また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとDVDで編集して翌日には渡してくれます! これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります! ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです! 絶対お勧めのツアーです! 少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です!!
本当に楽しかったです!スタッフの皆さん、マハロ!!!

It was an early morning departure from a still chilly start, but when we reached the point, we were able to see an unexpected pod of dolphins even from the boat. There were mother and baby dolphins, and dolphins jumping out of the water.
Due to the sea conditions that day, we ended up sitting on the ladder of the boat and peering into the water for dolphin watching, but we were able to see the dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close, which was truly moving.
After moving to a calm spot, we enjoyed plenty of snorkeling and encountered colorful fish and sea turtles. We also had fun playing with the kayak we brought on board, and the hamburgers and pineapples we ate on the boat were delicious!
The staff were all fun and considerate, keeping the participants engaged! I entrusted the camera to a local staff member for underwater dolphin photos, and we got a lot of great shots (laughs).
Finally, we even had a hula lesson, making it a wonderful experience. Despite being such a packed tour, it ended in half a day, allowing us to spend a meaningful day.
まだ肌寒い早朝からのの出航でしたが、ポイントに着くと、思いがけないほどのイルカの群れが船の上からでも確認できました。親子イルカや、海上にジャンプするイルカ・・。
この日は海のコンディションにより、船にかけたハシゴに腰掛け、水のなかに顔をつっこんでのドルフィンウォッチングとなりましたが、船と併走して泳ぐイルカ達の様子を、本当に間近で見ることができ、感動です。
また、穏やかな場所に移動してから、たっぷりシュノーケリングもして、色とりどりの魚や海がめにも出会えました。他にも、船に積んできたカヤックで遊んだり、船上で食べたハンバーガーやパイナップルも美味しかったです☆
スタッフが全員楽しく、気遣いのある方ばかりで、参加者を飽きさせません!
イルカの水中写真は、現地のスタッフの人にカメラを託して撮ってもらったら、いい写真が沢山撮れました(笑)。
最後にフラレッスンまでついて、いい経験になりましたよ。
こんな盛り沢山のツアーなのに半日で終わるので、1日有意義に過ごせました。

Since I went in March, the water was cold! Even with a wetsuit on, I shivered after being in for a long time. It was great to see a group of nearly 20 dolphins. However, I think it would have been even better if I had brought my own underwater camera.
3月に行ったので水は冷たかったです!ウェットスーツを着ても長い間入ってると身体がふるえました。
イルカにも20匹近くの団体に会えたりしてよかったです。ただ自分で水中カメラを用意していくともっともっとよかったのではと思いました。
