All Reviews for Dolphin Watching & Snorkel Cruises

Thank you for your support at the end of last year.

Thanks to the friendly staff, I was able to have a great time even though I participated alone.

I was truly happy to play with my favorite dolphins, but it seemed like there were fewer dolphins than usual??? Well, I guess that's just how it is with wild animals...

I was also moved to encounter other rare characters besides the dolphins!! Especially being able to see a humpback whale's tail up close and witnessing the relaxed姿 of the honu (sea turtle) underwater made for an amazing escape from reality, and I am very grateful for the wonderful memories I have kept in my heart♪

When I go to Hawaii again, I look forward to your support! _(._.)_

昨年末はお世話になりました。

気さくなスタッフのおかげで一人参加にもかかわらず
楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

大好きなイルカと戯れることができて本当に幸せでしたけど
例年よりもイルカの数が少なかったような？？？
まぁ、野生だから仕方ないですけど･･･

イルカ以外の貴重なキャラクターにも出逢えて感動でした!!
特にザトウクジラのテールを真近で見れたり、
ホヌのまったりした姿を海中で見れたりして最高な現実逃避に
とても素敵な思い出を胸に秘められて感謝です♪

またハワイへ行った際には、どうぞよろしくお願いします_(. .)_

This was my tenth trip to Hawaii, and it was my first time participating in this tour. With the theme of memories over material things, I joined this tour to swim with dolphins. I was thrilled to meet wild dolphins. And above all, the tour staff were excellent at creating a lively atmosphere. Their hospitality truly shone through, making it an unforgettable experience.

ハワイは今回で１０回目にして、初めての参加となりました。モノより思い出のテーマで、今回イルカと泳ごうとこのツアーに参加しました。自然のイルカに会うことができ大興奮でした。そしてなんといってもツアーのスタッフの盛り上げ上手なこと。スタッフのおもてなしの気持ちがぐんぐん伝わって最高の思い出になりました。

I was able to see dolphins up close!!

I also spotted a whale in the distance♪

It was my first time snorkeling, and it was so much fun (^^)

I was also happy to meet a handsome crew member (laughs)

The boat was beautiful, and it was a very high-quality tour!

It's one of my best memories from my trip to Hawaii (* >ω<)

いるかを近くで見る事ができました！！

遠くにですが、くじらも見えました♪

シュノーケリングも初めてでしたが、すごく楽しかったです(^^)

あと、イケメンのクルーに会えた事が嬉しかったです(笑)

船がキレイでクオリティーの高いとても良いツアーでした！

ハワイ旅行の～１の思い出です(* >ω<)

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and beautiful fish, but it was very cold, perhaps because of the overcast sky. Everyone borrowed wetsuits, but especially when coming out of the water, there were several people, including myself, shivering. They lend you blankets, but since they get wet and don't cover your whole body, I ended up wearing a windbreaker and wrapping myself in a towel and blanket, looking like a rice ball. Depending on the weather, I think people who are sensitive to the cold might enjoy it more in a warmer season. However, the local staff were high-energy throughout, cheering us on with songs and dances. There were also three small children participating, and they were attentive to ensure they weren't scared, which showed their professionalism.

After getting back on land, there was a hula lesson in a nearby open space, but personally, I didn't think it was necessary. Free hula lessons can be experienced in various places, so if they were going to take so much time for the hula lesson, I think it would have been more enjoyable to have a longer free time for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle surfing. Since there was only one kayak and one paddleboard, it seemed like each person could only ride for about five minutes within the short time frame.

One last thing: since it was overcast the whole time, I ended up getting sunburned because I didn't reapply sunscreen. Regardless of the weather, it's better to reapply it multiple times.

いるかにも亀にもきれいなお魚たちにもあえましたが、ずっと曇り空だったせいか寒くて寒くて…。全員ウエットスーツを借りていましたが、特に海からあがると、私を含めがたがたと震えている人が何人もいました。毛布を貸してくれますが、濡れるし体全体を包めるわけではないので、私はウィンドブレーカーを着てタオルと毛布をまきつけて、おむすび状態になっていました。天候によるでしょうが、寒がりの人はもう少し暖かい季節を選んだほうが楽しめるかと思います。ただ、現地のスタッフさんは終始ハイテンションで、歌や踊りで盛り上げてくれて、また、小さいお子さんが3人も参加していましたが、怖がらないように色々気を配っていて、プロ意識を感じました。陸にあがってから、少し離れた空き地でフラレッスンがありましたが、私的にはいらなかったかな。
無料のフラレッスンは結構いろんな場所で体験できるので、フラレッスンの時間をこんなにとるのなら、最後の自由時間（シュノーケル、カヤック、パドルサーフィン）をもっと長く取ってくれた方が楽しめたのではないかと思いました。カヤックもパドルサーフィンも１台ずつしかないので、短い時間内だと一人につき５分くらいしか乗れなかったようです。
最後にもう１つだけ。ずっと曇り空だったので、日焼け止めをつけなおししなかったらしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。天気に関係なく、何度も付け直しした方がよいですよ。

I was able to encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. I think I was quite lucky. The boat was clean and offered a lot of exotic charm during the cruise. Since it was a group snorkeling tour, I felt safe. We stopped at various points, and I felt secure leaving it to the captain. The boat rocked a bit, but I was able to enjoy meals and drinks without any issues. It was very interesting. I definitely want to participate in this tour again next time.

イルカ・ウミガメ・クジラすべてに遭遇できました。
かなりラッキーだったと思います。
船も清潔感ある、異国情緒たっぷりのクルージング。
団体でのシュノーケリングなので安心です。
ポイントポイントで停泊し、船長さんに任せておけば安心でした。
船の揺れもそこそこですが、普通に食事やドリンクを楽しめました。
とてもおもしろかったです。
次回も是非参加したいツアーでした。

I recently participated in a tour with my sister. We were torn between a tour to meet trained dolphins, but we made the right choice with this one!

Since they are wild, there are rare occasions when you might not see them (by the way, the day before, they didn't see any dolphins but encountered a whale instead!). With excitement in our hearts, we set sail! Thanks to the cheerful crew, including our guide, we were able to meet the dolphins! Right below us, a family of dolphins was swimming! Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, you'll be fine with a life jacket. You'll float, though (laughs). I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is unsure.

After the main event, there were plenty of fun activities, and before we knew it, half the day had flown by. It was a tour where you could truly feel the aloha spirit that loves nature.

Thank you to the dolphins, honu (turtles), fish, and the crew, especially our guide! I hope to participate again.

先日妹と参加してきました。調教されたイルカと会えるツアーと迷いましたが、私たちはこちらで大正解でした！

野生なので会えないことも稀にあるとのこと（因に前日はイルカに会えず、クジラに出会えたとそうです！）期待で胸をふくらませ、いざ出航！！この日私たちをケアしてくれた陽気なトリさん（学級委員）始め、クルーの皆さんのサポートもあって、無事イルカ先生に逢えました！！すぐ下をいるかファミリーが泳いでいるじゃありませんか！！泳ぎに自信がなくても救命胴衣があるから大丈夫。いやでも浮きます（笑）ぜひ迷われている方は自信をもってお勧めするので体験して頂きたいです。

メインイベント終了後も楽しいアクティビティがたくさんあり、あっという間に半日が終了します。自然を愛するアロハスピリットを肌で感じるツアーでした。

イルカ・ホヌ（亀）・お魚の皆さん、クルーの皆さん、トリさん、ありがとう！
また参加させて下さい。

If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely have to take this tour! You can enjoy it no matter how many times you go! The staff is kind and entertaining, and you’ll create wonderful memories! You can also eat the famous malasadas from the morning, and I was wondering if I should buy the DVD, but when I watched it at home, I was really glad I did! You get to see photos that you wouldn’t be able to take yourself, so you can enjoy it twice as much. You can also go snorkeling, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles and whales, so I really recommend this tour!

ハワイに行ったら絶対にこのツアーはしてます♪
何度行っても楽しめます！
スタッフの方も親切だし、面白いし、すごく良い思い出ができます！
朝から名物のマラサダも食べれるし、またDVDはいらかいかなと思ってましたが、家でみるとやっぱり買って良かったなと思いました♪自分ではなかなか撮れない写真が見れるし、思い返せるので二度楽しめます(^^)
シュノーケリングもできるし、運が良ければウミガメ、クジラも見れるのでこのツアーは本当にオススメです！

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

While battling seasickness from the boat and the waves after entering the water, we swam close to the dolphins several times (for about 30 minutes?), which was very hard, 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 spot 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 mention some highlights of this tour for 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 staff members were enthusiastic and supportive of 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。

・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）

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♪

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！！

クルーのみなさん本当にありがとう

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!

主人とハワイに行くのは初めてで　今回はネットを利用してアクてィビティーを予約させていただきました。
当日は天気はよいものの肌寒くて　どうなる事かと思いましたが、スタッフの皆さんや　参加されてる皆さんの熱気で　寒さも忘れるほどでした！！
スタッフの皆さんとても暖かくてフレンドリーで　本当に四六時中　笑顔で過ごせました☆☆
イルカが泳いでいるのも見れて、なんとクジラにも遭遇！！！！
まだ時期的に早いとあきらめていたのに　ビックリ。
すごく興奮しました！！
皆さんの日頃の行いが良いせいですね♪♪
お昼のハンバーガーもすごく美味しくて　ダンスタイムも楽しかったです！！
キャプテン、ケンさん、アヴィちゃん、カイナさん、ケコアさん　本当にありがとうございました☆☆
また次回は家族沢山で　参加させていただきたいです。
神戸は雪です。
ハワイで過ごした日々が懐かしい！！
スタッフの皆さん、お体に気をつけて　また私たちに素晴らしい体験をさせて下さいね☆☆

The staff were all very cheerful, and I had a great time on the boat!

I saw a lot of dolphins, and there was even a sea turtle right next to me (laughs). The taro burger after swimming was also really delicious!!

I'm very satisfied!

とにかくスタッフの方がみんなノリが良くて、船の上がすごく楽しかったです♪

イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメなんてすぐ隣にいました（笑）泳ぎ終わった後の、タロイモバーガーもすごく美味しかったです!!


満足です(^O^)

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 nervous at first because it was a rubber boat but it was a wonderful experience and if you go purchase the CD that is taken with your group.. It came this week. Wonderful.

I've been on a few excursions. . .all have been fun, but this was my favorite. I highly recommend it! The staff was great fun and very knowledgeable. We saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle, and a sting ray. We were able to snorkel along side and enjoy! It was a bonus they had a photographer on board that took underwater pictures so we have our memories in pictures of all we enjoyed that day. You won't be disappointed!!

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。

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!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour. I was satisfied to meet the dolphins and also saw sea turtles. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, and it became a great memory. Thank you!

この度はツアーに参加させていただきありがとうございました。イルカにも会えて満足です。ウミガメにも会えました。思ったよりも寒くなかったですし良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

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 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！

当日は朝も早く６時集合でしたが、ワクワクする気持ちが大きくてしっかり起きれました☆

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。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました☆

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。

This was my third time participating. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the dolphins for the first time... But I had a great time with the crew and other guests. I participate about once every six months, but I was most disappointed that my favorite crew member, a boy, had left.

今回３回目の参加でした☆
残念ながら初めてイルカと会えず。。。
でもクルーの方たちやほかのお客さんと楽しい時間を過ごせました♪
半年に１回のペースで参加していますがお気に入りのクルーの男の子がやめてしまっていたのが一番残念だったなぁ。。。

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

If I had to express a complaint, it would be that several people mentioned the rental goggles did not fit well and water was getting in.

Also, please check for wear and tear over time.

Additionally, we couldn't get as close to the dolphins as I expected.

不満をいえば、レンタルのゴーグルのフィット性が悪く、水が入ってくるって言っている方が数人いたようでした。

経年劣化もあるので、チェックおねがいします。

あと、思ったよりもイルカの近くには寄れません。

This was our second visit with this company and we were even more pleased this time than we were before!

This is a well run company staffed by people who know how to please! Captain Jenna and First Mate Katie were both superb! There was little wasted time looking for dolphins and turtles as Jenna knew right where to go to find them. She also ensured we had the maximum time in each area. We came away very satisfied.

Yes, we would even entertain another visit and hopefully bring friends.

Also, Jim Ward was a very personable photographer who was very prompt in send out his photos for download.

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。

Found 50 dolphins for us to swim with. Great crew.

This is my third time participating.

I was able to see a pod of bottlenose dolphins, which is said to be very rare♪

It seems they are a different species than the ones usually seen.

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！
