I was moved to encounter dolphins and turtles!! イルカ・カメに出会えて感動でした!!

Reviewed by: aiko

After departing by boat, we encountered dolphins almost immediately (around 20 minutes in?), and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. We put on something like life jackets to float in the water, but it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim...

While battling seasickness from being on the boat and the waves after entering the water, we swam close to the dolphins multiple times (for about 30 minutes?), which was very challenging, but it was incredibly moving to meet the dolphins in the sea. In my case, I was a bit far away, so unfortunately, I couldn't quite feel like I was swimming with them...

After that, we moved by boat to another point to see sea turtles. We were able to swim close enough to touch the sea turtles if we reached out, making it a very satisfying tour.^^

Finally, I wanted to note the points that were great about this tour, hoping it will help those who are unsure about which tour to choose:
- Encountering dolphins and turtles
- Availability of restrooms
- Receiving a group photo for free (two photos via email)
- Being able to rent a wetsuit ($5)
- Having Japanese staff present
- All the staff were enthusiastic and encouraged the participants.

船で出発後、すぐに（20分ぐらい？）イルカと遭遇し、みんなあわてて海へ飛び込みました。
ライフジャケットのような水に浮くものを装着して海の中に飛び込みますが、泳げない人はちょっと厳しいかもしれません。。。
船上での酔いと海に入ってからの波での酔いと戦いながら、イルカの近くまで何度も泳いだので（30分ぐらい？）とてもハードでしたが、イルカと海の中で会えて、とても感動しました。
私の場合は少し距離があったので、残念ながら一緒に泳いだ感覚にはなれませんでしたが。。。

その後、別のポイントまで船で移動しウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメとは手を伸ばせば触れるぐらい近くを泳ぐことができ、大満足なツアーでした^^


最後に、このツアーは下記点がよかったです。どのツアーにしようか迷っている方に参考になればと思い記述します。
・イルカ・カメに出会えたこと
・トイレがあること
・集合写真を無料で頂けたこと（メールで２枚）
・ウエットスーツを借りれたこと（＄５）
・日本人スタッフがいたこと
・スタッフ全員が、参加者を盛り上げてくださったこと

I encountered a large pod of dolphins! たくさんのイルカの群れに遭遇できました！

Reviewed by: ねこまた

I thought I might not be able to encounter wild dolphins, but I was able to see a large number of them! It was incredibly moving! I am very satisfied to have had such a precious experience! The staff also seemed very dedicated to showing us as many dolphins as possible.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the hamburgers on the boat. The photos on the website show them being grilled on board, but in reality, they just handed out pre-made ones. Well, I guess it's to allow more time for enjoying the ocean, but that was a bit disappointing.

Even so, this optional tour was fantastic! I would love to participate again the next time I visit Oahu!

野生のイルカ、出会えないかもしれないなぁーと思っていましたが、大量に遭遇することが出来ました！！
大感動！このような貴重な体験ができ大満足です！
スタッフの方々も、よりたくさんのイルカを見せようと一生懸命なのが伝わってきました。
ただちょっと残念なのが、船上でのハンバーガー。
HP上での写真では、船上で焼いているのですが実際はすでに出来上がっているモノを配るだけ。
まぁ、海で遊ぶ時間をたくさん儲けるためなのでしょうが、それがちょっと残念でした。
それを差し引いても、このオプショナルツアーは最高！　次回、オアフ島へ行く際はまた参加したいと思います♪

I also met dolphins, turtles, and whales. イルカ＆カメそしてクジラにも会いました

The hotel pick-up was at 6:00, so I rubbed my sleepy eyes and headed to the meeting point. They asked about the hotel location in advance, so they came close to the hotel.

The staff were very kind and high-energy! I was worried about feeling lonely since I was participating alone, but they made an effort to include me, so I didn't feel lonely at all. By the way, there were two other solo participants besides me.

As soon as we set sail, we saw a whale. However, it took a while for the dolphins to appear. Finally, we spotted them and were able to see them up close three times. Since it’s the birthing season, there were baby dolphins too.

During snorkeling, I was able to see turtles, various beautiful fish, and even rays.

On the way back, we saw two whales very close to us again.

It was full of experiences that you can't have in Japan, and I can't wait to brag about it to my family and friends when I get back.

This is definitely a tour you should join!!

Thank you so much to the crew!

ホテルには６：００のピックアップだったので、眠たい目をこすって集合場所へ。事前にホテルの場所を聞いてくれるのでホテルの近くまで来てくださいました。

スタッフのみなさんがとても親切でハイテンション！！私は一人参加だったのでさみしいかなって心配だったんですけど、輪に入れてくれようと気遣ってくださったので全然寂しくありませんでした。ちなみに一人参加の方は私以外に２人いらっしゃいました。

いざ出航してすぐにクジラがいました。だけどなかなかイルカは現れてくれません。やっと見つけて飛び込むこと３回とても近くにイルカを見ることができました。今は出産シーズンということで赤ちゃんのイルカもいました。

シュノーケリングではカメをみることができたし、いろんなきれいなさかな、そしてエイもみました。

帰りにはまたクジラがすごく近くに２頭も。

日本では経験できないことばっかりで、帰ったら家族や友達に自慢しちゃいます。

絶対参加してほしいツアーです！！

It has been a little while, but I participated in a dolphin swimming experience in Hawaii. The bright staff and their efficient service were great. There were a lot of people, and although we discovered a pod of dolphins, we found that entering the water late meant we missed out... That was a bit of a downside. While having a large group can be exciting, I felt that it might be better to have a bit of a limit on the number of participants. However, I would like to try the dolphin academy next time.

ちょっと時間が経ってしまいましたが、発ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたく参加しました。
明るいスタッフや手際の良い対応はよかったです。
人数が多く、イルカの群れを発見したものの
遅くに海に入ると間に合わない・・・という事があったのが
ちょっと難点でした・・・。
人数が多いと盛り上がっていいのですが、もう少し人数制限してもいいのかな、と感じました。
でも次回はイルカ中学の方を試してみたいと思います。

This was my first time going to Hawaii with my husband, and this time we booked activities online. The weather was nice on the day, but it was a bit chilly, and I wondered how it would go. However, the enthusiasm of the staff and the other participants made me forget the cold! The staff were very warm and friendly, and I was able to spend the whole time with a smile.

We got to see dolphins swimming, and we even encountered a whale! I had given up hope since it was still early in the season, so it was a surprise. I was so excited! It must be due to everyone's good deeds. The hamburgers for lunch were also really delicious, and the dance time was fun!

Thank you so much, Captain Ken, Avi, Kaina, and Kekoa! I would love to participate again next time with my whole family. It's snowing in Kobe. I miss the days spent in Hawaii! Staff, please take care of yourselves and give us another wonderful experience next time!

Boat troubles 船のトラブル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After seeing the dolphins, while moving to a point where we could see sea turtles, we were stopped in the water due to engine trouble. We returned to port safely on the one boat that was functioning. The hula dance lesson, the staff's planned dance on the boat, and the BBQ lunch (which had been cooked on the boat but was cold) were held at a park instead.

It seemed to be an unexpected trouble, but the staff were smiling, kind, and fun, which made me forget that we hardly got to do any snorkeling or experiences like kayak surfing or paddle surfing.

However, what was disappointing was the company's response. Despite the schedule changes due to the boat trouble, the apology was simply a discount on the DVD (which could be purchased by those who wanted it) from 8,000 yen to 3,000 yen. At that moment, everyone was tired from seasickness and agreed to it, but considering that some might not want to purchase it, I found it strange.

It was truly disappointing, especially since all the staff were great. Among the group, I was the only one participating for the second time, and knowing how much fun I had the first time made me feel sorry for my friends who joined me this time. Even though it was an unexpected trouble, I believe such situations could happen again in the future, and I hope they will consider a proper response.

I appreciate the participants and the staff for their efforts. Thank you very much.

イルカを見たあとに、ウミガメのみれるポイントに移動中、
エンジンのトラブルで、海の上で足止め、
二つのうち一つ無事なほうで、帰港しました。
フラダンスレッスン、船上で予定していたスタッフのダンス、BBQランチ（船で焼かれたものを持ってきてあり、冷えてました）は公園で行われました。
予想外のトラブルだったようですが、スタッフの方たちは、笑顔で優しく楽しく、結局シュノーケリングがほとんどできなかったこと、カヤックサーフィンやパドルサーフィンなどの体験もできなかったことを忘れさせてくれる気がしました。

ただ、残念なのが、会社の対応です。船のトラブルで、スケジュールに変更があったにもかかわらず、お詫びが『（希望者のみ購入する）DVD8000円を3000円に割引します』といったものでした。その場では、皆船酔いなどの疲れもあり、了承しましたが、購入しない場合もあることを考えるとおかしいと思います。

スタッフの方たちが、全員よい方だっただけに本当に残念です。グループで参加の中、私だけ二回目参加で、一回目とても楽しかったことを知っていただけに一緒に参加した友人にも申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
予想外のトラブルとはいっても、今後もあり得ることだと思いますし、キチンとした対応を考えていただきたいと思います。

参加者のかたたち、スタッフのみなさんの対応には感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

I was skeptical about whether I could really see wild dolphins, but I was moved to see them for sure! I was asked about wearing a wetsuit, but since none of the other participants raised their hands, our group also participated without suits. However, the seawater was colder than I expected, and it was very chilly with the wind when we got back on the boat. I recommend participating with a wetsuit.

　本当に野生のイルカなんて見れるの？と、半信半疑で参加しましたが、ちゃんと見れて感動しました!!
　ウェットスーツの着用を聞かれましたが、他の参加者が誰ひとり手を挙げなかったので、我グループもスーツ無しで参加しました。が、海水も思った以上に冷たく、船に上がったときの風でとても寒かったです。ウェットスーツを着用して参加することをお勧めします。

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Great Experience and Great Staff

Reviewed by: Alicia & Francis

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

I participated with the expectation of meeting dolphins and possibly swimming with them. However, it seems to be a rare case, but I didn't see any dolphins at all, and there weren't many turtles or fish either, which was disappointing. The staff were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was good, but I was really let down that I couldn't see the dolphins, which I was looking forward to the most. It's understandable since it's nature, but...

イルカに会える、しかも一緒に泳げるかもしれない、と、期待して参加しました。ところが、まれなケースみたいですが、全くイルカには会えず、亀や、魚も目立つようには居なかったり、残念でした。
スタッフは、楽しい方ばかりで、雰囲気は良かったんですが、一番楽しみにしていた、イルカを見ることも出来なかったのは、本当にがっかりでした。自然相手ですから、当たり前なんですが・・・

I've always wanted to go dolphin watching! 念願のイルカウォチング！

Reviewed by: もんちっち

I had to cancel dolphin watching twice in Kyushu due to typhoons, even though the probability of seeing them was over 90%. This time, I learned that in Hawaii, not only can you see them, but you can also swim with them, so I confidently signed up!

On the day of the event, we had an early morning meeting at 6 AM, but my excitement kept me awake and ready to go☆

As soon as we arrived, I put on a wetsuit ($10), hopped on the boat, and off we went! I was a bit anxious about the early start, but as soon as we reached the bay, we spotted dolphins right away! Over the course of a few hours, we encountered several dolphins, including baby dolphins♪ Other teams were there too, but the dolphins kept coming back to our group, making it hard for us to get back on the boat (laughs).

We changed locations and were able to see two sea turtles swimming. My husband said he found the sight of the turtles gliding through the water to be mystical.

Thank you for the wonderful time☆

逢える確率９０％以上の九州でイルカウォチングを２回も台風で断念。今回は常夏ハワイで見るだけでなく一緒に泳げることが出きると知り、大丈夫だと申込しました！

到着するやいなやウエットスーツ（＄１０）を着て、ボートへ乗り込み、いざ出発！なんて早いスタートなんだと焦りましたが、湾にでるとすぐイルカ発見！！数時間の間に何頭もイルカや子供イルカにも逢うことが出来ました♪他のチームも来られていましたが、イルカは私たちのチームへ何回も寄ってきてくれボートに上がるに上がれない状態でした（笑）

場所を変えてウミガメは２匹も泳いている姿を見ることができました。旦那はウミガメの悠々を泳ぐ姿が神秘的に感じたと言っていました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I think it's great that you can visit the west coast of Hawaii, which you wouldn't go to otherwise, on this tour. The staff is full of energy and keeps you entertained. You can eat malasadas, swim with dolphins, see sea turtles, enjoy a simple cheeseburger, go paddle boarding, and even dance a little hula—it's a packed tour.

Swimming while snorkeling and having wild dolphins swim right in front of you is moving and very healing, but it was unfortunate that when I participated, the wind was strong and the sea was a bit murky, and it took time to find the dolphins, so I couldn't go paddle boarding. It's a busy tour because of all the activities, but I recommend it for those who want a fulfilling experience.

このツアーでなかったら行かないハワイの西海岸にいけるのが良いと思います。スタッフも元気いっぱいでたのしませてくれるし、マラサダを食べて、イルカと泳いで、ウミガメも見られて、シンプルですがチーズバーガーも食べられてパドルボートもできてフラダンスもちょっとだけ踊れる盛りだくさんのツアーです。
シュノーケルで泳いでいると野生のイルカが目の前を通り過ぎて行くのは感動でとても癒されますが、参加した時は風が強くて海が少し濁っていたのが残念だったのと、いるかを見つけるのに時間がかかったので、パドルボートが出来なかったのが残念でした。盛りだくさんな分忙しめのツアーですが充実したい方にはオススメです。

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

I participated at the beginning of November. １１月始めに参加しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I decided on this tour after reading various experiences. We gathered early in the morning and traveled to the site by bus. The boat was beautiful, and there were drinks and light snacks like cupcakes and yogurt available for us to enjoy at any time. For lunch, there was a light buffet with hamburgers, rice, meat, and potatoes, but I couldn't eat much due to fatigue, seasickness, and drowsiness. I had lunch again separately after returning.

Most of the participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. The tour guide was American, but there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, providing explanations in Japanese after the English ones.

The weather was nice that day, but we had a hard time spotting dolphins and turtles. We stopped for about an hour to enjoy snorkeling. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was fun to throw food and have many fish come right up to me. I was considering diving the next day, but snorkeling was enjoyable enough.

After that, we returned to the boat and finally encountered dolphins. About ten dolphins swam near the boat, seemingly playing with us, and they were really cute.

It was early November, and the sea wasn't too cold, but it did get chilly after being in the water for a long time. You can rent a wetsuit for about ten dollars at the port's reception, not through the tour company. They sell snacks, drinks, and port T-shirts and goods, resembling a souvenir corner, but I didn't see anyone buying anything in particular.

As for wallets, you can leave your belongings or towels on the tables or chairs inside the boat, so it's better not to carry cards or large amounts of cash just in case. It was mentioned that you should bring your passport if you plan to drink alcohol, but I wasn't asked to show it. So, it would be good to have about twenty dollars in a pouch just in case, but I ended up not using any cash at all.

Also, after swimming, it gets cold, so a bath towel and a hoodie or T-shirt to wear on top are essential.

Even if you don't usually get seasick, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. The boat isn't that small or shaky, but since we left early in the morning and I hadn't eaten much for breakfast, I did feel a bit nauseous.

After about an hour of snorkeling and sunbathing for a long time, the early morning conditions were surprisingly tiring, and most people were fast asleep on the bus ride back in the afternoon.

体験談を色々読んでこちらに決めました。朝早く集合してバスで現地まで移動。船は綺麗で、室内にはいつでも自由に飲食できる飲み物、カップケーキやヨーグルトなど軽食がありました。昼食も軽いビュッフェ形式のハンバーガー、ご飯、お肉、ポテト、など出ましたが、疲れや酔いと眠気が手伝ってあまり食べれず。帰って別でまた昼食をとりました。

ほとんどの参加者が外国人で、日本人は少しだけ。ツアー催行者の方もアメリカ人ですが、一人日本語がペラペラな方がいて、日本人にも英語の説明の後に日本語で説明してくれます。

この日は天気は良かったのですがなかなかイルカもカメも見つからず、とりあえず停舶して1時間ほどスノーケリングを楽しみました。海の中は透き通ってすごく綺麗。エサを放り投げてたくさんの魚が目の前まで来て楽しかったです。ダイビングを次の日に考えてましたが、スノーケリングで十分楽しめます。

その後、船に戻ってようやくイルカに出会えました。本当にわざとやってるのかと思うほど１０頭ほどのイルカが船の近くで一緒に「遊ぼう！遊ぼう！」と泳いで、とてもかわいかったです。

１１月始めですが、さほど海は冷たくなかったですが、長いこと入っていると寒くなってきます。ウェットスーツは１０ドルかな？でツアー会社ではなく港の受付で借りれます。ここではお菓子、飲み物や港のTシャツやらグッズ等が売っていて、お土産コーナーのようですが、特に何か買ってる人はいなかったです、、。

お財布などは船内のテーブルや椅子の上に荷物やタオルを置いておくかんじなので、カードや大金は念のため持ち歩かないようにしたほうがいいです。お酒を飲む場合のパスポート持参と書かれていましたが特に提示を聞かれませんでした。なので、ポーチに万が一のために２０ドルくらい入れていけばいい感じですが、結局一銭も現金は使っていません。

あとは、泳いだ後が寒いのでバスタオルと上に着るパーカーもしくはTシャツは必須です。

あまり乗り物に酔わない人でも酔い止めは持参したほうがいいです。そこまで小型で揺れる船ではないですが、朝早いので朝食をあまりとってなかったりすると酔います。

1時間ほどのスノーケリング、日差しの下で長い間日焼け、朝早いというコンディションは意外に疲れ、昼の帰りのバスはほとんどの人が爆睡してました。午後からアク

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First, we went to eat a treat called malasada. It was freshly fried and very delicious. On the bus, they passionately talked about snorkeling precautions and Hawaii in Japanese.

Once we boarded the boat, the lively crew welcomed us, and we had a great time. We were particularly fine with seasickness, but some people felt unwell, so those who are worried might want to bring motion sickness medication. Also, they will take photos for you, but since you'll have to buy them later, if you want to avoid spending money, it might be better to take your own pictures.

When we got out to sea, the weather was fantastic, and we were able to see over 100 dolphins, which was truly moving. It was a wonderful experience to see dolphins right in front of us. We only saw one turtle, but I think it offers a different kind of excitement compared to seeing turtles in an aquarium. I highly recommend this tour.

最初に、マラサダというお菓子を食べに行きました。揚げたてでとてもおいしかったです。バス内では日本語でシュノーケリングの注意事項やハワイについて熱く語ってくれます。
船に乗ると、ノリのいいクルーたちが出迎えてくれてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。私たちはとくに船酔いは大丈夫でしたが、何人かの方が気分が悪くなっていたので心配な方は乗り物酔いの薬を持って行った方がよいかも。また、写真を撮ってくれますが、後で買うことになるのでお金をかけたくない方は、無理してでも自ら写真を撮った方がいいかも。
私たちが海に出た時はとても天気がよくイルカたちにも100頭以上あうことができ感動しました。目の前でイルカを見れるのでとてもいい経験をすることができました。カメは一頭しかみれませんでしたが、水族館で見るカメとは違う感動を味わうことができると思います。お勧めのツアーです。

I swam with them, and a turtle was also swimming nearby.

Then, right in front of me, it popped its head up from the water and showed me its cute face, which was so exciting.

It's something you can't easily do in Japan, so I highly recommend it!

こちらは３度目の参加です。

バンドウイルカの群れが見ることができ、それはとてもとても貴重だとのこと♪

ふだんよく見られるのとは違う種類だそうです。

一緒に泳ぎ、また、亀さんも近くでおよいでました。

すると目の前で水中からポコッと顔をだしてくれかわいい顔をみせてくれたので興奮しました。


日本では、なかなかできないことなのでおすすめです！

The trip to Hawaii was the best!
This course is truly fulfilling!
In the morning, you can enjoy the famous malasadas,
and since there are both Japanese staff and locals,
I really felt the experience of being abroad!
Even as a first-timer, they taught me patiently,
and when I was feeling anxious, they swam with me, which made it really easy.
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

ハワイの旅行で一番よかったです。
このコースはほんとに充実してます！
朝は名物のマラサダが食べれるし、
日本人スタッフと現地の方両方いるので
海外にきた感と味わえました！
初めての私でも丁寧に教えてくれるし、
不安にしていると一緒に泳いでくれたのでほんとに
やりやすかったです。
またハワイに行ったら必ず参加したいと思います。

An activity I want to participate in again. もう一度参加したいアクティビティー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

"I want to swim with wild dolphins!"
"I want to see sea turtles!!"
"I want to eat malasadas!!!"
They covered all my selfish wishes.

On the day of the tour, the staff called my hotel room before the meeting time to confirm, which was very considerate. Thanks to that, I was saved from almost oversleeping.

When I actually saw the wild dolphins, I was surprised at how close they were! I might have been lucky, but I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close, and I was very satisfied.

I definitely want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii!!

「野生イルカと泳ぎたい！」
「ウミガメ観たい！！」
「マラサダ食べたい！！！」
って言う、ワガママな私の願いを全部網羅してくれました。

当日は集合時間前に担当のスタッフさんがホテルの部屋まで
確認の電話をしてくれる丁寧さ。
お陰で危うく寝過ごしそうになるのを救われました。

で、実際の野生イルカも想像以上にの近さにビックリ☆
運が良かったのかもしれないけど、
何頭ものイルカの群れを間近でみることができ、
大満足でした。

次にハワイ行ったときも、ぜひ参加したいです！！

A bit disappointing!? 少し残念！？

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On the day, I only encountered three dolphins and couldn't swim with them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied because I got to swim with turtles up close instead. The staff was amazing and really made it fun!!

当日はイルカ3頭としか遭遇せず、一緒に泳げなかったことは少し残念だったが、その代わりにカメとは至近距離で一緒に泳げたので満足しています。
スタッフは最高に盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しかった！！

I'm fine. 元気

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was disappointed that I didn't encounter any dolphins, but the staff were lively and great at keeping the energy up, so overall I was satisfied. There were similar tours available, but I participated because a friend recommended it. I don't think the experience is the same every time due to seasonal variations, so it's a tour I would like to experience multiple times. Next time, I want to join a different tour for comparison.

イルカにはなかなか遭遇できなかったのが残念でしたが、スタッフの人達が元気に盛り上げ上手でトータル的には満足でした。類似のツアーが他にもありましたが、友人お勧めでしたので参加しました。季節的にも毎回同じではないと思いますので何回も体験したいツアーです。　次回は別のツアーに参加して比較したいと思います。

I chose this tour again because I saw dolphins and turtles last time. I'll probably choose this tour again next time as well.

前回もイルカや亀が見れたので、またこのツアーにしました。
多分また次回もこのツアーにします。

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had a great time! Actually, I got seasick and spent most of the time on the boat, but I was happy that the staff were concerned about me.

It seems that the dolphins were a bit nervous because a baby had just been born, so I was able to see them from the boat, but it looks like the people swimming couldn't see them.

My daughter said she was disappointed about not seeing the dolphins, but she was moved when she saw the sea turtles.

That said, the staff were really fun and felt like family!

The hula was surprisingly enjoyable too (^_^)v

This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!

とても楽しかったです　実は私は船酔いしてしまいほとんど船の上でしたが．．.
スタッフの皆が心配してくれて嬉しかったです

イルカは赤ちゃんが生まれたてで神経質になっているらしく船上の私からは見れましたが　泳いでいる人からは見れなかったみたいです

娘はイルカは残念だったけどウミガメを見たとき感動したと言っていました

それにつけてもスタッフの皆さんがとても楽しくオハナでした！


フラも意外と楽しかったです(^_^)v

またハワイに行ったときには参加したいツアーです

I was very shocked. たいへん、ショックでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The tour we participated in was something that my daughters went on about a week ago and were very impressed by. Hearing this, my husband and I eagerly joined, believing without a doubt that we would get to see dolphins. The tour description did mention that since it involves nature, there are rare occasions when you might not see them. However, we didn't see a single dolphin, and only a few fish. I was really disappointed to see such a big difference from what we expected. We did receive a half-price voucher for the next time, but I don't think we'll participate for a while.

That said, the performance of the staff was very good.

私たちが参加したこのツアーは、娘たちが、一週間ほど前に行って、感激したものでした。この話を聞いた私と主人は　もう疑いなくイルカに会えるものだと、意気込んでの参加でした。ツアーの説明には、自然が相手の物なので、会えないことも稀にある旨のことは、もちろん書いてありましたが。本当に一頭のイルカとも会えず、魚もほんの少し。その時々で、こんなに違うものか、と、本当にがっかりしました。次回半額券はいただきましたが、しばらくは、参加できないと思います。
ただ、スタッフの方たちのパフォーマンスは、大変良かったですよ。

Dolphin Healing Tour イルカに癒されるツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my fifth time swimming with dolphins. This time, I participated in "Private Dolphin Junior High" for the second time. Just like last time, I was able to encounter many pods of dolphins. Moreover, since it was the birthing season, we also met several baby dolphins. Their earnest jumping was very adorable and entertained us.

Additionally, while we were returning to the harbor, six dolphins swam alongside our boat for over five minutes. This was truly the best part. The tour guide was also very pleasant, which made it even better. The food and drinks kept coming, making it a tour filled with happiness.

ドルフィンスイミングは５回目でした。
今回参加した”私立イルカ中学”は２回目。
前回同様、沢山のイルカの群れに出会うことが出来ました。
しかも、出産シーズンと言うことで、数匹の赤ちゃんイルカにも出会えました。
一生懸命ジャンプする姿がとても愛らしく、私達を楽しませてくれました。
しかも！私達が港へ戻っていたその時、６頭のイルカが５分以上も並走して私達のボートの横を一緒に泳いでくれたんです。これは本当に最高でした。
ツアー担当の方も感じがよく、とても良かったです。
食べ物＆飲み物もどんどん出してくれて、幸せ一杯のツアーでした。
