This was my first overseas trip☆ I came to meet dolphins! I have dived many times in Okinawa, but this was my first time on such a fun tour! It seemed like the timing was perfect for seeing dolphins, as they came right up to my feet multiple times, and I was so moved ( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ ). And then! A sea turtle!! I was very surprised to see it swimming close enough to touch ('ロ' ). All the divers and the captain were funny and kind, and in the end, we all got to dance the hula together, which was so much fun!! I even got to meet a mermaid!? (laughs) Next time I come to Hawaii, I’ll definitely ask Dolphin University again ( ˆoˆ )/
初めての海外旅行☆イルカに会いたくて来ました!沖縄では何度もダイビングの経験はありますが、こんなに楽しいツアーは初めてでした!イルカが見れたのもとってもいいタイミングだったみたいで何度も足元に来てくれて感激でした( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ )そして!海亀ちゃん!!手が触れれる距離まで泳いでてとても驚きました('ロ' )ダイバーの皆さんも船長さんも皆さん面白くて優しくて最後はみんなでフラも踊れて楽しかったです!!マーメイドにも会えたし!?(笑)次ハワイに来た時もイルカ大学さんにお願いします( ˆoˆ )/

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.
前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている2つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。2プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも? 1時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。
Dear Banana Man, thank you for joining our tour. There are only a limited number of certified guides who speak Japanese at Hanauma Bay, which can sometimes lead to this situation. I sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. Moving forward, we will review our shortcomings to ensure that our customers have a more enjoyable experience. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!
ばななまん様、この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。日本語の話せるハナウマ湾の公認ガイドは限られた少ない人数のためにこうなることもございます。がっかりさせてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。今後はもっとお客様に楽しかったと言っていただけますように、悪い所は見直し、更に頑張ってゆきたいと思っております。どうぞまたハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

Almost all participants were Japanese. The guide was also Japanese and very friendly, which was great. They offered GoPro rentals, and if you have a camera, they will take pictures for you. Since it was our honeymoon, having someone take photos of the two of us was appreciated. However, it's natural that those who borrowed a GoPro were prioritized for photos. We didn't rent one, but they still approached us to take pictures.
I recommend checking the sandbar's appearance based on the tide and time. By the way, I couldn't make a reservation for the morning of the day when the sea level drops below zero a week in advance.
参加者はほぼ全員日本人でした。ガイドさんも日本人で気さくだった為良かったです。
ゴープロの貸し出しもありましたし、カメラを持ってれば写真を撮ってくれます、新婚旅行なので誰がが撮ってくれる2人の写真はありがたいです。ただ、当然ですがゴープロを借りた人の方が優遇して撮ってくれます。自分たちは借りてませんが普通に声を掛けてくれます。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to take my 5-year-old daughter to Kailua, where we went for our honeymoon! I was nervous until the pickup, but we safely boarded and headed to Kailua. There were changing rooms and lockers for valuables, so it was安心 for families with children. The staff were all friendly and kind. My daughter really warmed up and kept talking to Mieko (is that the right name?). I’m sorry for interrupting your work!
We headed to the beach at 9:30 and were able to relax until 3 PM with a lunch break in between. It was quite windy that day, which made things a bit challenging, but we had a really great time.
Next time, when my daughter can ride a bike, I’d like to go to Kailua Town.
Thank you to all the staff!

We participated during our honeymoon. Since neither of us speaks much English, having a Japanese guide was very helpful. Also, it was nice that the local staff spoke clearly, possibly because many Japanese people were participating.
As for the content, we were able to see turtles, beautiful corals, and colorful fish, which made us very satisfied.
However, it was unfortunate that the weather on the day was very cold due to strong winds and rain.

I participated in the morning session. I was picked up at the hotel. Most of the participants were honeymoon couples. Upon arriving at the port and heading to the sandbar by boat, we went turtle watching. There were so many sea turtles that I couldn't believe it!
After arriving at the sandbar, we took photos and went snorkeling. The sea was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. However, it was a bit cold since it was in the morning.
Afterward, we enjoyed sandwiches and snacks made by the tour guide on the boat. The light meal after coming out of the water tasted delicious. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. I was able to use my time meaningfully!

This time, I signed up for a short course that included a light meal (sandwich and tea). I was excited from before arriving at the port, guided by the cheerful and energetic staff. They even helped us look for cute sea turtles while cruising... During the sandbar snorkeling, many staff members were there to watch over us properly... The ocean is truly beautiful. It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the water was clear, and I was able to snorkel and swim with many wild dolphins, fulfilling my childhood dream of "swimming with dolphins"! The baby dolphins were especially cute.
I also got to see four sea turtles, and I was really lucky to see a rare baby seal, one of only 250 in Hawaii! I was able to see many colorful fish up close, almost as if I was in an aquarium, and although it was a bit scary, I even encountered three sharks (*^▽^*).
In the end, we all danced the hula together; it was a fun and moving tour overall. Since the dolphins are wild, you can't always expect to see the same number, but it's a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it! (^^)/

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.
My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.
If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!
When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.
The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.
2年前に参加した際に、最悪の天気で残念な思いをしました。今回もしっかりと干潮を調べていきました。あとは天気だけ!!
日本を出発する際に、カネオヘは雨予報だったのでキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、一か八かキャンセルせずにハワイへ出発。ハワイに着いた時にはカネオヘの天気が晴れになっていました!もしかしてこれは期待できるかもしれないと思いながらバスに乗り込み出発。
思っていたよりも水位は高かったけど、晴天に恵まれてリベンジが出来ましたー。2回目だったのでシュノーケルはせずに、写真ばっかり撮っていました。
水がキレイなのでウミガメちゃんも何頭も見ることができて、しっかり願い事をすることもできました。水位が低い時には是非オススメです。

The main purpose of this trip to Hawaii was to swim with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to it. The photographer, Mike, who joined us was incredibly energetic from the morning, which gave me a boost (laughs). We studied about dolphins until we arrived at the harbor. Once we got to the harbor, we took a bathroom break. We arrived earlier than scheduled, so there was quite a bit of waiting time. The waves were pretty high that day, and the boat was rocking, but thanks to the motion sickness medication, I was fine.
While we were listening to the explanation about life jackets and fins, we learned that dolphins had already been spotted! It had only been about 10 minutes since we left the shore. It seems that encountering dolphins so close to the shore is quite rare.
I had seen reviews from others and thought we would be going in and out multiple times, but during our first entry into the water, we encountered quite a few dolphins. I had an underwater digital camera, so when I filmed, you could hear their squeaks too! The tour guide mentioned that the day before, they hadn’t seen any dolphins, so it seems we were lucky to meet so many this time.
After our first swim, we moved on to turtle watching, followed by snorkeling. The university group was kayaking. After that, we returned to the open water, and there was another group of dolphins!! It was truly moving.
The family that participated with us seemed quite tired, but I was so excited that I felt completely energized. I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it! ♪
今回のハワイ旅行の一番の目的がイルカと一緒に泳ぐことだったので、とっても楽しみにしていました。
今回同席したカメラマンのマイク。朝からものすごいハイテンションで、元気をもらいました(笑)ハーバーに着くまではイルカについての勉強をします。ハーバーに着いたらトイレ休憩。予定よりも早く着いたので、結構な待ち時間がありました。この日は波が結構高く船は揺れたと思いますが、酔い止めのおかげで大丈夫でした。
ライフジャケットやフィンの説明を聞いているときに、すでにイルかちゃんが見つかっているとのこと!まだ沖から出て10分くらい??こんな沖の近くでイルカちゃんに会えるのはなかなか珍しいことらしい。
みなさんのクチコミを見ていて、何度も入ったり出たりを繰り返すのかと思っていましたが、1回目の入水でかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えました。水中で使用できるデジカメを持っていたので、動画を撮影するとキューキューと鳴き声も入っていましたよー。前日はイルカちゃんを見る事が出来なかったとツアーのお姉さんが言っていたので、今回はかなりのイルカちゃんに出会えてラッキーだったようです。
1回の入水のあとは、移動してウミガメウォッチング。続いでシュノーケルです。大学の方はカヤックなどをしていました。その後沖に戻るのですが、またイルカちゃんの群れ!!本当に感動です。
一緒に参加した家族はかなり疲れたようですが、私は楽しさの方が優先して全然元気でした。また機会があれば参加したいと思えるツアーです!オススメですよ♪

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.
夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。
Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I carefully checked the times for high and low tides before participating (laughs). Since the tide goes out only a few times a year, I recommend joining during the times when the water level is as low as possible♡
It was a day with both sunshine and clouds, but when the sun shone, the sea sparkled beautifully!! It was so much fun to ride the boat and swim freely!
The buffet on the boat was beautifully arranged and tasted much better than I expected, so I had a lot☆
Also, when you get on the boat, your body can get cold, and it feels chilly when the wind blows, so I recommend bringing a hoodie and a bath towel if you're sensitive to the cold♡
満潮干潮の時間を綿密に調べて参加しました(笑)
本当に潮がなくなるのは年に数回なので、できるだけ水位が低い時間帯に参加するのがオススメです♡
晴れたり曇ったりの一日でしたが陽射しが当たると海がキラキラ輝いて本当に綺麗!!
ボートに乗ったり自由に泳いだりも出来てめっちゃ楽しいです!
船上でのバイキングも綺麗に盛り付けて用意してくださり思ってたより全然美味しくてたくさん頂きました☆
あと、船に上がると身体が冷えてて風が吹くと寒く感じるので冷え性の方はパーカーとバスタオル持参がオススメです♡
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us. We also appreciate you sharing the wonderful photos of the sandbar. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。素晴らしいサンドバーの写真のシェアもありがとうございます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

As soon as we headed out to sea, the dolphins appeared!! They were swimming right next to us! Everyone jumped in one by one, and the staff worked hard to guide us to where the dolphins were☆
Then, right in front of us and just below, there were dolphins!! Seeing the dolphins up close, their eyes weren't wide open but half-closed (laughs), and it felt like they understood something, which was a bit thrilling (laughs).
The hamburgers, snacks, and juice on the boat weren't anything particularly fancy, but they were delicious♡
Chinatsu, the kind and straightforward staff member, truly loves dolphins and made a great effort to convey their charm, which impressed me!
The dolphin tour with the gentle captain and cheerful staff was the best time☆ Thank you so much♡
By the way, in February, while there was some sunshine, it was still a bit chilly, so I had a hand warmer in my hoodie pocket.
Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication early to prevent seasickness~
For those who will be participating, please enjoy it♡
海へ出てすぐイルカ先生登場!!
すぐ横泳いでる!みんな飛び込め〜〜と順番に海に入りスタッフさんが一生懸命イルカのいる場所へ誘導してくれます☆
するとすぐ目の前や真下にイルカが!!
間近で見るイルカの目はクリクリじゃなくて、半開き(笑)で何か悟られたようでドキっとしました(笑)
船でのハンバーガーやお菓子、ジュースは特別高価なものじゃないけど美味しいです♡
優しく姉御肌でサバサバしたスタッフのチナツさんは本当にイルカが大好きで一生懸命イルカの良さを伝えようとしてくれたお姿に感銘を受けました!
そして優しい船長や陽気なスタッフの皆さんとのイルカツアーは最高の時間でした☆
本当にありがとうございました♡
ちなみに、2月は日差しはあるとのの、まだ肌寒くパーカーのポケットにカイロを入れて羽織ってました(>_<)
あと船酔い防止の為早めに酔い止めを飲むのがオススメですよ〜

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.
Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.
We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.
There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.
However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.
The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.
集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

The moment I entered the sea, I was able to see a sea turtle up close! The dolphins also came by about five or six times. I was very satisfied to see them up close! I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were a few people who were feeling seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
海に入った瞬間ウミガメがすごく近くで見れました!
イルカも、5,6回は来てくれたでしょうか。
近くで見ることができとても満足でした!
私は酔い止めを飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いしてる方が何人かいたので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいと思います!

This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!
Thank you Clover, you guys were awesome. Hope you had a great honeymoon! Dan.

It was very beautiful!! I was satisfied because I could see many sea turtles. However, surprisingly, it was deep until we reached the sandbar... I think it depends on the season, but some women were submerged up to their chests. In the photos, it looks like it's only knee-deep, so be careful as there were people who couldn't enter because they weren't wearing swimsuits.
とってもきれいでした!!海亀もたくさん見れたので満足です。
ただ、以外とサンドバーにたどり着くまでが深いです。。。時期にもよるのだと思いますが女性の方は胸のあたりまで浸かりました。
写真だと膝くらいなので水着を着てなくて入れない方もいたので注意ですね。

After arriving by bus from Waikiki, we set off on a boat! Our energetic Japanese guide provided a humorous sightseeing tour, and we reached the heavenly sea! At high tide, the water was up to our waists, and the contrast between the blue sea, the Ko'olau mountain range, and the emerald green sandbar was stunning. After enjoying the sandbar for about an hour, it was lunch time! The freshly grilled hamburgers from the boat's BBQ were delicious!
Next, we went on a turtle watching adventure while listening to the captain play the ukulele and sing! Luckily, a big turtle greeted us right in front of the boat. After that, we went snorkeling over a large coral reef! Before snorkeling, our Japanese guide carefully explained important safety precautions in an easy-to-understand manner, which made us feel very secure. Finally, we donned our fins, masks, and life jackets and entered the water! The clear sea was filled with many fish and corals, allowing us to enjoy a unique snorkeling experience. Other guests were able to swim with the turtles, which was enviable! Additionally, the local staff kept a close eye on safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!
ワイキキからバスで到着後、ボートで出発!日本人の元気なガイドさんから冗談交えての観光ガイドもしてもらいながら天国の海へ到着!満潮で腰までつかるほどで、青い海とクアロア山脈とサンドバーのエメラルドグリーンのコントラストが最高でした。1時間ほどサンドバーを堪能した後はランチtime!ボートのBBQで焼きあがった出来たてのハンバーガーはとても美味しかった!
お次は船長のウクレレと生歌を聴きながらホヌウォッチングへ!運よくビッグなホヌがボートの前で迎えてくれました。その後は大きなサンゴの沖合でシュノケーリング!シュノケーリングの前には日本人ガイドさんから安全に関わる大切な諸注意を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれてとても安心しました。いざ、足ヒレ、マスク、ライフジャケットを着用して着水!透明な海の中にはたくさんの魚とサンゴがいて沖合ならではのシュノケーリングを楽しむことができました。他のお客さんはホヌと泳ぐことができたそうです。羨ましい!また、現地スタッフの方々も安全面に目を光らせていて安心して楽しむことができました。大満足なtourでした!

It felt like we were swimming with all our might to chase after the dolphins, haha.
It can be quite tiring, but it's a fun event. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, they provide free life jackets and fins, so you'll manage somehow.
I had imagined playing with the dolphins, so it was a bit disappointing that the experience was different from what I expected. But I did get to see wild dolphins.
Since they are wild, whether they come close to people or swim away depends on their mood that day.
On the day we went, it seemed like a pod of bottlenose dolphins was nearby, and the long-beaked dolphins with their young seemed to be panicking and escaping.
Whether you get to play with the dolphins is probably a matter of luck.
イルカのいるところまで全力で泳いで追いかける感じでしたw
なかなか疲れますが楽しいイベントではあります。
泳ぎに自信が無くてもライフジャケットとフィンが無料で付いてくるので、どうにかなります。
イルカと戯れるイメージを想定していたので、
何となく違う結果だったのは残念。
でも野生のイルカに会えました。
野生だから、イルカの気分で人の近くに来るか、逃げるか、それはその日次第のようです。
入った日は近くにバンドウイルカの群れが来ていたようで、
子どもを連れたハシナガイルカたちは焦って逃げていたみたいですね。
イルカと戯れられるかどうかは運次第でしょう。
