November in Hawaii is the rainy season, but it was sunny on the day of our visit!
It wasn't too early in the morning, and for a light breakfast, we enjoyed malasadas from Leonard's. The freshly fried donuts were delicious.
At first, we headed north by boat, but it turned out there were no dolphins, so we returned south. I was a bit anxious thinking we might not see any, but the professionals had the latest dolphin information, and when we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, everyone was thrilled.
Once we got into the water, it took a little while to get the hang of it, and I couldn't see them well at first, but I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyuu-kyuu," which indicated they were nearby. Once I got used to it, they came close, and it was incredibly moving to swim right beside them. There were baby dolphins too!
We saw a type of dolphin called the spinner dolphin, and it was true that they spin even in the wild. I witnessed them spinning a couple of times.
The water was a bit cold, so I rented a wetsuit for my upper body for $10. If you're worried about the cold, I definitely recommend renting one; it also helps with buoyancy.
I also had fun trying stand-up paddle surfing, which I had personally wanted to do.
I was so captivated by the dolphins that I didn't have much time to relax while snorkeling. I think the original plan was to swim with dolphins in the north and snorkel (to see sea turtles) in the south. However, we did catch a glimpse of a sea turtle from the boat on the way back. We also saw a seal come close to the boat, and it was adorable!
In diving, we encounter sea turtles almost every time, but for dolphins, you really have to search for them. I'm grateful to Dolphin University for their professional dolphin search.
The staff were also very friendly, and we had a fun and comfortable time on the boat. I definitely want to go again next time!
11月のハワイは雨期ですが、当日は晴れ!
朝も恐ろしいほど早くはなく、軽い朝ごはんに、「レナーズ」のマラサダをいただけます。
揚げたてドーナツは美味しいです。
最初、ノースのほうへ船を向けていましたが、イルカがいないことが判明し、南に戻りました。これは、会えないのかも。。と少し不安になりましたが、そこはプロ。イルカ情報が入り、船上からイルカの背びれが見えたらみんな大興奮でした。
海に入ってしばらくは要領を得ずに、うまく見られませんでしたが、イルカの鳴き声が「キュウーキュウー」と聞こえてきて近くにいることがわかりました。慣れてきたら、近くにやってきたのでしっかりそばを泳げてすごく感動的でした。子イルカもいましたよ!
あと、ハシナガイルカという種類で、野生でもスピンをするっていう話があったのですが本当でした。2度ほど、クルクルクルっとスピンするのを見られました。
少し水が冷たいので10ドルで上半身のウェットスーツを借りました。冷たいとテンションが下がるので、心配な人は絶対借りたほうがいいです。浮力も上がります。
あと個人的にやってみたかったスタンドアップパドルサーフィンも体験できて楽しかったです。
イルカに夢中でシュノーケリングはあんまりゆっくりする時間はありませんでした。たぶん、当初の予定では、ノースでイルカスイム、南でシュノーケリング(ウミガメ見る)だったのかなと思います。でも帰りの船の中から一瞬ウミガメも見られましたね。あと、アザラシも船に近付いてきて見られました。かわいかった~
ダイビングでは、ウミガメはほぼ毎回遭遇しますが、イルカは、やはり探さないと見つからないと思います。イルカ大学さんのプロのイルカ捜索に感謝です。
あと、スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーで、船の上でもずっと楽しく居心地のいい時間を過ごせました。
また次回も行きたいなぁと思います!

We used this for our honeymoon.
We participated on November 26, and the weather was partly cloudy and colder than we expected, which was a bit disappointing, but aside from that, we were very satisfied. All the guides were cheerful and great people. It was reassuring to have a Japanese guide, haha.
By the way, we were lucky enough to see turtles about six times before arriving at the sandbar!
今回はハネムーンで利用させて頂きました。
11月26日に参加しましたが、お天気が晴れ時々曇りといった感じで思っていたよりも寒く、その点が少し残念でしたが、それ以外は大変満足です。ガイドさんもみんな明るくいい人ばかりでした。日本人のガイドさんがいるのでホッとします 笑
ちなみにサンドバーへ到着するまでに運良くカメに6回程会えましたよ♪

The sandbar was really beautiful!! I definitely think you should go! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing. I thought there would only be English-speaking staff, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt reassured.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I was moved by how many beautiful fish I saw. Also, it was great that we had time to practice in a shallow area where we could stand before going into the deeper water. After getting out of the sea, it was quite cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or something to cover your body.
サンドバーは本当にきれいでした!!絶対行くべきだと思います!
ウミガメも至近距離で見れたりして、最高でした。英語スタッフばかりかと思いきや、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいたので安心でした。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、きれいな魚がたくさん見れて感動でした。あと、サンドバーの足がつく浅い場所で事前に練習する時間があったのでよかったです。海から上がったあと、結構寒いので大きめのバスタオルなど、体を覆えるものを持っていくといいと思います。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but from the moment I got on the van during the early morning gathering, all my worries disappeared!
Our guide, Yuji, was really energetic and entertained everyone with various stories! It didn't take long to drive, maybe less than an hour? During the drive to our destination, we saw different scenery from Waikiki, and Yuji shared lots of interesting information, like the hospital where President Obama was born and the famous "this tree, that tree" spot.
Once we arrived at the yacht harbor, we boarded the boat, changed into our wetsuits, put on fins, and equipped ourselves with snorkeling gear to search for dolphins! We sang songs...♪ When we spotted dolphins, we all jumped in together! The moment I put my face in the water, I immediately heard the sound of dolphins. It was so moving... I can't even count how many dolphins we saw. We got to see them jumping up close and felt like we were in the same ocean at the same level as them.
After that, we went to a turtle spot. At a depth of about 15 meters, I saw three turtles swimming gently below. When I looked up, there was a turtle right next to me, swimming at the same level! I was a bit startled☆ but it was so cute. Although it was a dolphin tour, I was really moved to swim with the turtles.
On the way back, we enjoyed a leisurely tea time with everyone, having some tea and snacks♪ It felt like a little cruise! Participating alone was no problem at all. We were mostly in the water, and chatting on the boat was fun too. It became a wonderful memory♪
Thank you, Yuji!!!!
1人参加で少し不安はありましたが、早朝集合でバンに乗り込んだ瞬間から不安は吹っ飛びました!
ガイドのゆーじがテンション高くて♪色んなお話でみんなを楽しませてくれます!
車で1時間もかからなかったかな?到着するまでのドライブもワイキキとは違う風景を見ながら、ゆーじが色々と教えてくれます。オバマ大統領が産まれた病院とか、この木なんの木とか☆
ヨットハーバーに着き、船に乗り込んで船上でウェットスーツに着替え、足ひれを付け、シュノーケル装備をしてみんなでイルカを探します!歌をうたったり・・・♪
イルカを見つけたらみんなで飛び込めー♪
顔をつけた瞬間、真っ先にイルカの鳴き声が聞こえました。感動です・・・。
イルカは何匹見たかわからないほど見ることができました。間近でジャンプも見れて、同じ目線で同じ海でイルカを感じれました。
その後、海がめスポットに行きました。水深15mくらいのところで、下の方で海がめが3匹ほどゆらゆら泳いでました。顔を上げたらなんと!海がめが真横であたしと同じ目線で!泳いでます!ちょっと焦った☆でも可愛かったです。
イルカツアーだったけどあたしは海がめと一緒に泳げたことに感動しちゃいました。
帰りはゆっくりみんなでお茶やお菓子でティータイム♪ちょっとしたクルージングを楽しめます!
1人参加でも全然問題ないです。ほとんど海の中にいるし、船の上でのおしゃべりも楽しかったですよ。
いい思い出になりました♪

I participated for the first time when I went to Hawaii during Golden Week.
The weather was a bit cloudy.
However, I had checked the low tide times perfectly.
Surprisingly, the sandbar was much more exposed than the images suggested.
It was somewhat disappointing...
It was unexpected.
I thought it was nice to have space for two chairs.
Basically, this activity can be tough if the weather isn't good.
When the surrounding sea is cloudy, it looks dark, and it's hard to encounter sea turtles.
But I thought the food on the boat was delicious.
Also, I was happy to receive Leonard's malasadas, which I hadn't planned to eat.
Next time, I want to avoid going during the rainy season or after low tide.
GWにハワイへ行った際、初参加しました。
天気はちょっと曇り気味。
でも干潮の時間も調べてばっちりだったんです。
なんと、サンドバーは写真のイメージと違って、思いっきり出てたんです。
なんともありがたみの少ないことで・・・
想定外でした。
チェアーが二つ乗るくらいってのがいいもんだなと思いました。
基本的には天気が良くないとしんどいアクティビティーですね。
周りの海も曇りだとなんだか黒っぽいし、ウミガメも遭遇しづらいし。
でも船の上のご飯は美味しかったと思います。
あとは、レナーズのマラサダを配ってもらえたので食べる予定のなかった私には嬉しかったです。
次はまた、雨季や干潮過ぎる日にちは外して行きたいと思います。

The location is fantastic (you can see Kualoa Ranch, famous for movie shoots, in the background of the sandy beach!), and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. I definitely recommend using a waterproof camera to take plenty of memorable photos. One thing to note is that you will get sunburned, so please apply sunscreen generously in advance.
ロケーションは最高(砂浜のバックには、映画撮影でも有名なクアロア牧場が見えます!)、また、スタッフの皆さんのフレンドリーさも抜群でした。ぜひ、防水カメラを使って、思い出の写真をいっぱいとることをお勧めします。一点、注意点は、やはり日焼けしますので、日焼け止めはこれでもかという具合に事前に塗っておいてください。

I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.
The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.
According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.
We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...
The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!
サンドバーがどんなものかわからずの参加でしたが、
ただただキレイの一言でした。
早朝プランが人数足らず、おすすめになってしまったのですが良かったです。
理由は朝は寒さの覚悟が必要だから。
現地の人曰く、10月過ぎは寒くなりあまりお勧めでないとのこと。
天気に恵まれたので幸いですが、
最近のハワイは雨続きなので、残念な天気の場合は覚悟が・・
青い空の下の澄んだ海は最高ですよ。

This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.
It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.

イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが

I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.
At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.
I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
Thank you very much.
イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

Last time I had a very disappointing experience on a different tour, so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much this time either... But it was incredible!!! We searched for dolphins, and when we found them, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked into the water, the dolphins were swimming really close by. I was so moved. Then, we also encountered sea turtles during the second hour. I was so impressed that I ended up participating twice during my stay (^O^)/ I highly recommend Dolphin Junior High. The staff were all really fun, and I'm glad I participated. I definitely plan to join again next time.

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.
Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.
After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.
I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!
夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ100頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。

Even non-swimmers can feel safe with life jackets, and there were families with small children having a great time, so I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy. All participants were able to see dolphins, and I dove three times, getting to see several dolphins directly below me, which was a lot of fun. However, on the day I participated, the water was murky and visibility was poor, and I couldn't see any tropical fish because of the murkiness. I would like to try again on a day with clear water.
泳げない人でもライフジャケットがあるので安心ですし、小さなお子様連れの家族もいてとても楽しそうで、どなたでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
参加者全員がイルカを見れましたし、私は3回もぐって、1回は真下に数頭見れてとても楽しかったです。ただし、私の参加日は水が濁っていて見えにくかったのと、熱帯魚は濁っていたため、見れませんでした。

I was moved beyond words.
I was touched by the high transparency of the sea, where I could see the spotted patterns of rays swimming beneath the surface. I was also moved by the faint sounds of dolphins crying underwater, as if they were speaking to me, and by the attentive service of the staff... My heart was filled with wonderful sparkles.
This tour feels like swimming alongside wild dolphins while they are sleeping, which is quite different from the dolphin swims at Sea Life Park or the dolphin activities at the Kahala Hotel, where you can touch the dolphins closely. If you expect that kind of interaction, you might feel a bit unsatisfied...
However, you get to experience the dolphins in their natural, free state, and the majestic beauty of nature, which is incredibly healing.
I highly recommend this tour, where the stress from Japan melts away in the beautiful sea, leaving your heart feeling light!! I will definitely join again the next time I go to Oahu.

I was really looking forward to the Heaven's Sea Tour and participated in it.
I chose the afternoon tour, but the water level was high, reaching chest level in some areas, so I couldn't take my camera into the sea, which was a bit disappointing.
It was early October, and it was a bit cloudy, so the water temperature was low. I wanted to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, I couldn't...
The BBQ meat was delicious.
This tour might be better in the morning.

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

This is my second time! Two years ago, when I visited for my daughter's wedding in Hawaii, we chose a beach close to heaven as a family and relatives' memory. The beautiful cobalt blue sea, sea turtles, and coral reefs from that time are etched in my mind as precious memories. The DVD that captures those memories never gets boring, no matter how many times I watch it.
This time, it was a trip just for my wife and me. We quickly made a net reservation for the heavenly... and participated in the afternoon session on October 12. I also joined the snorkeling, which I couldn't do last time due to an injury on my eyelid, and enjoyed the coral reefs and beautiful schools of fish, as well as a delicious BBQ. The staff's response was also very pleasant!
I travel to Hawaii every year, and I would like to walk on the sandbar again next year.
今年で二度目!
一昨年、娘のハワイ結婚式で訪れたとき、家族・親族の思い出として、天国に近い海を選択し、あの時のコバルトブルーの美しい海・海ガメ・サンゴ焦は、とても貴重な思い出として瞼に焼き付いております。その思い出を凝縮したDVDは
何度見ても飽きません。
今回は、家内と二人旅でしたが、天国の・・・は早々とnet予約し、10/12の午後の部に参加、前回は瞼の上の怪我

Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...
When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.
We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.
If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.

I went on a summer limited Sunrise Tour! Exploring the beautiful sandbar and experiencing the sunrise in Hawaii is a rare opportunity, and since the plan has you returning in the morning (even though it's before dawn), I think it's a great way to make the most of your day! In our case, we had a schedule to leave Hawaii that afternoon, so we decided on it right away★ After returning to the hotel, we were quite rushed though.. lol
On the day of the tour, it seems there were very few waves, one of the calmest days of the year, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness, but it was quite cold~《>_<》A large bath towel provided by the hotel is a must. The snorkeling, which I was looking forward to, was unfortunately a bit disappointing due to low underwater visibility. There were some fish, but not many. By the way, it's fine for those who can't swim since life jackets are provided. However, as expected, if you want to go deeper on your own, you can't dive. lol
After that, we all searched for sea turtles from the boat, and they popped their heads up quite a bit and swam very close, which was really fun.
The views of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch were wonderful, but it was a bit cold for the season, and the snorkeling experience was somewhat disappointing. The staff were very friendly, and they took photos for us, plus the warm breakfast was delicious☆
夏限定!サンライズツアーに行ってきました!
綺麗なサンドバー散策もハワイでのサンライズもめったにできない経験だし、朝イチ(と言っても明け方前です)の集合から午前中には帰ってくるプランなので、1日を有意義に使えると思います!私達の場合は特にその日のお昼にハワイを発つスケジュールだったので即決でした★ ホテル帰着後かなり焦ることになりましたが・・w
当日は波が1年でも1,2を争うくらい無い日だったらしく、船酔いの心配は無かったのですが、いかんせん寒かった~《>_<》ホテルで貸し出してくれる大きなバスタオル必須です。
期待のシュノーケルは、意外と水中の透明度が低くて残念でした。魚もいるにはいるんですが多くないかな。 ちなみにライフジャケット着用のため、泳げない人でも大丈夫です。一方当然ですが深いところへ自主的に行こうと思っても潜れませんでしたw
その後、船上よりみんなで海亀を探しますが、ぽこぽこ海面へ顔を出してくれるし、すごく近くを泳いだりするのでとても面白かったです。
クアロア牧場の山々も望め、景色はすばらしかったのですが、時期的に寒かったのとシュノーケリングが少し残念な感じでした。
スタッフはとても親切で写真も撮ってもらえるし、温かい朝食はおいしく頂けました☆

It was truly a place overflowing with nature and nothing else. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit chilly on the day we visited, and the tide wasn't low, but we were able to see turtles swimming along the way, and the staff were kind. Thank you, Hana.
I was looking forward to snorkeling, but I heard it was in a very deep area, so as someone who can't swim, I immediately gave up. (laughs)
Since lunch was included, I enjoyed that instead. The guava juice was refreshing and I recommend it. There was also grilled meat, chicken, salad, and fruit, all of which were delicious.
We had lunch on the boat, and a fish came up to the boat asking for food, which was really cute.
I went on September 30, and I was surprised to find that the weather in Hawaii can change quickly. I had the image of it being sunny all the time, but it rained quite a bit, and we even saw a rainbow. Thank you!
本当に何もない自然にあふれた場所でした。
当日は潮がひいてない時間で、くもりがちで、肌寒かったのが残念でしたが、途中で泳ぐカメさんも、見ることが出来、スタッフの方も親切でした。ハナさん、ありがとう。
シュノーケリング楽しみにしていたんですが、ものすごく深い場所でやるときき、泳げない私は即、断念。(笑)
ランチつきだったので、そちらの方で楽しませて、いただきました。グワバジュースが、サッパリしていて、おススメ。
焼肉やら、チキン、サラダ、フルーツもあり、おいしかったです。
ボートでの昼食でしたが、そのボートに1匹の魚がよって来て
エサをねだるのが、かわいかったですよ。
9月30日に行ったのですがハワイの天気も変わりやすく、
ずーっと、天気で、晴れ!のイメージがあったのですが、
雨が、まとまって降り虹も見れ、雨もけっこう、降ったりするのねえと意外な驚きでした。
ありがとう!

I participated two years ago as well. This year, I swam with many dolphins again. Last time, I brought a jacket, but it was really cold while on the boat, so I was thinking of bringing a wetsuit this year, and there was a rental available. My family had an amazing time both last time and this time, but there were some people who couldn't get in the water at all due to seasickness, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely bring motion sickness medication.
I will definitely participate again next time.
おととしにも参加しました。
今年もたくさんのイルカたちといっしょに泳ぎました。
前回、上着を持って行ったものの、ボートに乗っているときに寒くて大変だったので、今年はウエットを持って行こうかと思っていたら、貸し出しがありました。
我が家は前回も今回もものすごく楽しめましたが、船酔いで
一度も海に入れなかった人もいるので、不安な人は必ず
酔い止めを持って行ったほうが良いと思います。
また次回も絶対に参加します。

I participated in a heavenly beach tour for my honeymoon, and the sandbar was truly beautiful and moving. I also got to see sea turtles, and it was really fun. The staff were entertaining and the best!!
今回新婚旅行で天国の海ツアーに参加しましたが、サンドバーが本当にキレイで感動。ウミガメにも会えて本当に楽しかったです。スタッフの方も面白くて最高でした!!

It was really great!
I participated with my boyfriend, who usually dislikes tours, but he was very satisfied! The reason is that the staff's service was wonderful! Of course, we also got to meet the dolphin teacher, and it was the most fun memory of our six-night trip to Hawaii!
I definitely plan to participate again next time I go.
After returning to Japan, I recommended it to all my friends! Next time, I will join with a group!
ホントによかったです♪
彼と2人で参加したのですが、ツアー嫌いの彼も大満足♪♪その理由は、スタッフの方の対応が素晴らしかったです!もちろんイルカ先生にも会えたし、6泊のハワイ旅行の中でも一番楽しい思い出です♪
今度行った時も絶対参加しようと思います。
日本に帰ってきて、友達みんなにお勧めしちゃいました♪今度はグループで参加させてもらいます★

One thing I absolutely wanted to do in Hawaii was swim with dolphins. I participated alone, but most of the group consisted of couples, families, and friends, with one parent-child pair who were six years old. It was Silver Week, so there were more participants than usual, around 30 people.
The tour starts with malasadas from Leonard's Bakery. I felt a sense of superiority eating without waiting in line! And they were incredibly delicious!! After a little nap in the car, we arrived at the port and boarded the boat. We quickly spotted a pod of dolphins! We got close to them by boat and then entered the water. Although we had to swim, I got to meet the dolphin teachers. It was so moving!! Since we were swimming in deep water, I couldn't take good photos, but there were quite a few dolphins, so I enjoyed it multiple times.
Next, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. They provided food, so colorful fish gathered around us. You can also enjoy paddle surfing and kayaking. Just when we were getting hungry, cheeseburgers were served. They were delicious too!
Finally, we all danced together and took a group photo.
It was an early morning, but the tour was very satisfying as it offered not only dolphins but a variety of fun activities.
ハワイに行ってこれだけは絶対やりたい!と思っていたのがイルカです。
私は一人参加でしたが、カップルや夫婦、友達同士がほとんどで、6才の親子が一組いました。シルバーウィークのためふだんより参加者が多かったそうで、30人くらいでした。
ツアーはまず、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダで始まります。みんなが並んでいるところを、並ばず食べられる優越感!しかもめちゃおいしい!!
そして車にゆられひと眠りしたところで港につき船に乗り込みます。
すぐにイルカの群れを発見!
船で近くまで行って、海に入ります。泳がないといけないですが、イルカ先生に逢えました。感動です!!深いところを泳いでいたので写真はうまく撮れませんでしたが、けっこうな数いたので何回も楽しめました。
続いては場所を移動して、シュノーケリングへ。餌付けをしてくれるので、カラフルな魚たちがたくさん集まってきます。パドルサーフィンやカヤックを楽しむこともできます。
そしてお腹がすいたところで、チーズバーガーの登場です。これもおいしかった~
最後はみんなで踊って集合写真。
朝早いですが、イルカだけでなくイロイロ楽しませてくれて大満足なツアーでした。
