All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This time, we went with my husband, myself, our third-grade daughter, our first-grade son, and our four-year-old son, a total of five people.

Since it was our first time at a water park, we discussed as a couple that it would be safer to go with an optional tour, so we decided to sign up.

First, for lunch:
We hesitated until the last minute about the BBQ lunch plan, but we felt that our three kids wouldn't eat much in front of the pool (they would be too focused on playing), so we opted for a plan with transportation only and bought hot dogs to eat ourselves. We brought our own water, so lunch cost about $10 per person. We had checked reviews in advance, so we observed the store (there was only one) and decided to have lunch around 11:30 after we arrived. There are tables and benches in front of the store. There was a bit of a line after 12:00, but it wasn't as long as we expected, though it might depend on the season. By the way, my daughter ordered pizza, but it seemed she didn't like it much and hardly ate any.

Now, for the activities:
Both kids and adults can enjoy it!! The pool with regular waves was a hit with our family!! Our four-year-old son also had fun riding on a float. There are various zones suitable for different ages, which is great. This time we came with a family friend, so our elementary school daughter and son took turns enjoying the water slide with their family, while my husband and I were able to enjoy the slide with our four-year-old son being looked after by our friends. If it had just been our family, we probably would have split up to play in groups of two and three...

I visited on December 30, and people of all ages were having fun! If I had to say something, the water felt cold to me ( ;∀; ) Maybe it was because of the wind. I would like to go on a sunny day!

今回、夫・私・小3娘・小１息子・4歳息子の5人で行ってきました。


初めてのウェット～だったので、
オプショナルツアーで行くのが確実かなと夫婦で話し合い、
思い切って申し込みました。


まずは【昼食】
ギリギリまで昼食ＢＢＱ付プランも迷いましたが、
子どもたち3人がプールを前にしてお腹いっぱい食べないような気がして(遊びに夢中になって)、あえて送迎付きプランのみにして自分たちでホットドッグを買って食べました。
昼食代は水を持参していたので、１人約１０ドルぐらいでした。
あらかじめこちらで口コミをチェックしていたので、
お店(１店舗だけでした)の様子を見ながら、
ついてしばらくして１１：３０ぐらいには昼食タイムにしました。
お店の前にテーブルとベンチがあります。
１２時以降はちょっとした列ができていましたが、
時期にもよるのでしょうが、
思っていたよりかは並んでいませんでした。
ちなみに娘はピザを頼みましたが、口に合わなかったみたいでほとんど食べませんでした。


そして、【アクティビティー】
子どもも大人も楽しめる！！
定期的に波が起きるプールは家族ではまりました！！
４歳の息子も浮き輪に乗って楽しみました。
子どもの年齢に応じて様々なゾーンがあるのでいいですね～。
今回は友人家族ときていたので、
小学生の娘や息子は交代しながら友人家族とウォータースライダーを楽しみ、
私たち夫婦も４歳の息子を友人家族に見てもらって、
スライダーを楽しむことができました。
家族だけだったらきっと２人と３人で分かれて遊んでいたかも…と思います。



私は１２月３０日に利用しましたが、
老若男女遊んでいました！
強いて言えば、私には水が冷たく感じました～( ;∀;)
風もあったからかな。
天気のいい日に行ってみたいです！

We participated in the Dolphin Swim Adventure as a family of four. The instructor communicated in broken Japanese and gestures, which made us feel at ease. It was our first time seeing dolphins up close, and everyone was excited. We were worried about whether we could do it well, but the dolphins were smart, so everyone did great. The instructor allowed us to interact with the dolphins multiple times, which was really wonderful. However, the bus ride there was quite cold due to the air conditioning, so bringing a towel and long sleeves is essential.

家族4人でドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーに参加しました。インストラクターは片言の日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれたので安心でした。こんなに目の前でイルカを見たのが始めてでしたので、皆んな興奮していました。上手く出来るか心配でしたが、イルカがお利口なので全員が上手く出来ました。インストラクターが何度も触れ合いをさせてくれたので本当に良かったです。ただ、行きのバスは結構クーラーで寒いので、タオル、長袖必須です。

I had heard that encounters are quite rare, but I was satisfied to see the tail fin come out of the water and spouts several times. However, they were only visible from a distance, so I wish I had brought binoculars. It would be great if they could offer binoculars for rent on the boat, even on a deposit basis. I recommend that future participants bring their own binoculars.

なかなか出会えないと聞いていましたが、尾びれが水面から出たのや潮吹きも何回も見られて、それ自体は満足でした。しかし、遠くに小さくしか見えなかったので、双眼鏡を持っていったらよかったと思いました。船内でデポジット式で良いので、貸し出ししてもらえるとありがたいです。これから参加される方には双眼鏡持参をお奨めします。

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, not too long, not too short. Worth the dollars. If same company, I took a Capt. Bob zodiac adventure Kauai about 30+ years ago, great time then as well. I think Capt. Bob was the actual Capt. of our zodiac.

We were the only Japanese guests, but the crew was fluent in Japanese, which was very helpful. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and others were jumping in and swimming. It became a lifelong memory.

日本人の客は、私たち夫婦だけでしてが、クルーの方が日本語も堪能で、助かりました。
海の上は、最高に美しく、他の方で海に飛び込んで泳いだりしていました。
一生の思い出になりました。

We gathered at Aloha Tower in the morning. The shuttle costs $14, so we took THE BUS, which was fine. A whale seemed to appear for a moment, but we couldn't see it due to the boat's location. Still, we enjoyed the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the hotels. It was a bit disappointing, though...

朝からアロハタワー集合です。送迎は１４ドルかかりますのでTHE BUSで行きましたが問題なく行けますよ。一瞬クジラは現われたようですが、船の場所の関係で見れませんでした。それでも、ダイヤモンドヘッドやホテルの美しい景色は楽しめました。残念でしたが・・・

We participated with a friend to relieve the fatigue from the Honolulu Marathon. We had a great time taking videos and photos, and interacting with others who participated in the marathon. The ship was luxuriously designed for its size (it’s not that big, so it can sway easily). The night view of Honolulu from the sea was beautiful.

I had low expectations for the food and was prepared for the possibility of seasickness, which is why I thought, "It was as I expected." I believe it's important to read various experiences carefully and think about them, which I will elaborate on later.

Above all, newlyweds should be particularly cautious, as seasickness and the night view can be greatly affected by the weather. The day we boarded was cloudy, and the ship swayed more than I anticipated (it was unsteady enough to make walking difficult). We enjoyed ourselves without getting seasick, but I saw newlyweds who were both feeling unwell, and one was down while the other was supporting them. Depending on the weather, it could turn into a terrible tour, and it was sad to see.

Regarding the food, it was "quite disappointing." I can't say it was delicious. The cake was "just sweet" (buffet style). We chose the second-highest lobster course, but it felt more like "Instagram-worthy." I think it would be wiser to have a slightly fancy dinner at a hotel for the price we paid. I recommend going without expecting much from the food. We were satisfied to eat lobster, which we rarely have the chance to enjoy, but... expectations should be kept low.

Upon boarding, a welcome drink was provided, but the deep blue cocktail had a very disappointing taste. I regretted not choosing the pink juice.

The dress code was relatively casual. We went in dresses suitable for going out, enjoying a bit of style, but a cardigan is essential (in December). It gets a bit chilly with the night breeze.

The number of participants was quite large, possibly due to the timing of the Honolulu Marathon, which was a bit disappointing as it didn’t create a relaxed atmosphere.

私達はホノルルマラソンの疲れを癒すために友達と2人で参加しました 私達は動画や写真を撮影したり、ホノルルマラソンに同じように参加した人との交流など楽しい時間となりました。船の中は大きさの割に豪華な作りになっていました（そこまで大きな船ではありません。つまり、揺れやすいです。）
海から見るホノルルの夜景も綺麗でした
「思っていた通りだった」というのは、食事を期待しなかったことと、船酔いしてしまう可能性を覚悟していたからでした。後ほど詳しく書きますが様々な体験談をしっかり読んで考えるべきだと思います。

なによりも、新婚旅行の人は特に注意が必要です船酔いも夜景も天気に大きく左右されるからです。私達が乗船した日は曇りで思った以上に船が揺れました。（歩くのはフラフラするくらい）私達は酔わずに楽しめましたが、新婚旅行で来られていた方々が2人ともダウンしていたり、片方がダウンして寄り添っていたりと天気次第では最悪なツアーになる可能性があります。見ていても可哀想な状態でした

また、食事に関しては「かなりイマイチ」です。美味しいとは言えません。特にケーキは「甘いだけ」でした。（バイキング）私たちは上から2番目のロブスターのコースにしたのですが、「写真映えする」と言った感じですこの金額を払うのならば、ホテルで少し豪華なディナーを食べる方が賢いと私は思います。
行く方は食事は期待しないで行くことをお勧めします。私達は滅多に食べる機会のないロブスターを食べられて満足でしたが、、、期待はしてはいけません。
乗船するとウェルカムドリンクが用意されていますが、濃いブルーのカクテルはとてもイマイチな味ですピンクのジュースを選べば良かったと後悔しました。

服装は割と自由でした。私達はお出かけ用のワンピースでオシャレを少し楽しむ感覚で行きました羽織るカーディガンなどは欠かせません。（12月）夜風を浴びるので少し寒いです。

参加人数はホノルルマラソンの時期だったからかとても多く、ゆったりとした雰囲気ではなかったのは少し残念でした。

I participated on December 30th. It was a clear day, perfect for a cruise.
Be careful, as the shuttle bus was too cold.
The ship was larger than expected, which got me excited.
We spotted whales about eight times!!!
The other guests were also thrilled, and we were able to finish the cruise in a wonderful atmosphere.

12月30日に参加しました。快晴でクルーズ日和でした。
お迎えのバスが寒すぎるので注意が必要です。
船は想定より大きく、テンションあがりました。
クジラは8回くらい姿を現してくれました！！！
他のお客さんも大興奮で素晴らしい雰囲気の中クルーズを
終えることが出来ました。

I was able to experience the sliders and other attractions. I recommend going in the morning when it's not too crowded. Once you go, you'll be satisfied.

スライダーやその他のアトラクションをひと通り体験できた。それほど混まない午前中がオススメ。一度行けば満足。

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

I participated in the "Dolphin Encounter" with my 4-year-old child. We had three types of interactions: kissing the dolphin mouth-to-mouth, the dolphin kissing our cheeks, and shaking hands with the dolphin. We were also able to stroke the dolphin's body and feed it directly from our hands.

Before participating in this attraction, I was concerned that my child might be scared of the dolphins, so we experienced a dolphin touch attraction at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise first. However, in this program, we entered the same pool as the dolphins, which brought us incredibly close to them and allowed for frequent interactions, making it incomparable to similar attractions in Japan.

I observed other programs where participants could swim while holding onto the dolphins or be pushed by them to swim at incredible speeds, and even do things similar to a dolphin show. I definitely want my child to experience this again when they are older.

We participated in the program from 1:00 PM, and by 2:00 PM we had finished changing and were supposed to explore the park until the bus departure time at 5:00 PM. However, all the park's programs ended by 4:00 PM, and by around 4:30 PM, we were asked to leave the park, so we had to wait outside for about 30 minutes with nothing to do until the bus arrived, which was disappointing.

子供（４歳）と「ドルフィン・エンカウンター」に参加しました。
イルカの口と口でキス、イルカがほっぺにキス、イルカと握手の３パターンの触れ合いができ、イルカの体を撫でたり餌を直接口に入れたりすることもできました。
このアトラクションに参加するにあたり、子供がイルカを怖がるかと思い、横浜八景島シーパラダイスでイルカにタッチできるアトラクションを体験させてから参加しましたが、ここのプログラムでは、イルカと同じプールに入って行うため、イルカとの距離がものすごく近く、触れ合える頻度も多いので、日本国内の同類のアトラクションとは比べ物になりません。
他のもっとイルカと遊べるプログラムを見学しましたが、イルカにつかまって泳いだりイルカに押してもらって、ものすごいスピードで泳いだり、イルカショーのようなことまでできるので、子供が大きくなったらぜひまた体験させたいと思いました。
１３：００～のプログラムに参加したのですが、１４：００には着替えも終わりバスの出発時間の１７：００まで園内を散策して時間を待つことになっていましたが、園の各プログラムの時間が１６：００までで終了してしまい、１６：３０頃には、園外に出されてしまったので、バスが来るまでの３０分ぐらいは何も無い園外でバスを待たなければならなかったことが残念でした。

It would have been amazing to see the sea turtles up close. It was a bit chilly, which was unfortunate. But it was incredibly beautiful and wonderful. The guide was also very engaging, and I had a great time. Thank you!

ウミガメがもっと近くで見れたら最高でした。
肌寒かったのが残念。
でもめちゃ綺麗で素敵でした。
ガイドさんも盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

I wanted to participate in the garden tour, but I was told to switch to another tour due to being over capacity, with no explanation as to why we had to change. It felt like they assumed Japanese people wouldn't complain, and it seemed like they were relying on Japanese individuals who had signed up for private tours. If the price is the same, I think it would be better to book this tour through a major travel company.

The lunch buffet had about seven types of desserts, but four of them were empty. The drinks were also empty. Since we had to eat within a limited time, it might be a good idea to bring a little something to eat yourself.

Overall, I felt that there are many beautiful places to see in Hawaii, and it didn't seem worth it to pay this much money to participate in this tour.

ガーデンツアーに参加したかったが、人数オーバーのため、他のツアーにしてくれと言われたが、なぜ私たちが他のツアーにしなければならないのか、全く説明はなし。日本人は何も文句を言わないと思っているのか、個人ツアーで申し込みをした日本人に頼んでいるように思えたので、同じ値段なら、大手の旅行会社を通してこのツアーに申し込みをした方がいいと思う。
ランチビュッフェは、デザートを含め、７種類ほどあったが、４種類は空。飲み物も空。限られた時間で昼食をとらなければならず、自分で食べるものを少し持って行った方がいいかも。
全体の感想としては、ハワイにはきれいな景色を見れるところがたくさんあるし、これだけのお金を払ってこのツアーに参加する価値はないように思えた。

The pickup time will be delayed as it goes around various locations, but the round trip was easy and enjoyable. It was a bit chilly, so a rush is necessary. Once you enter, securing a spot is essential. The deck chairs at the central wave pool are highly sought after. If you can't find one, the round tables in front of the concession stand with chairs are close to the restrooms and changing areas, and they are in the shade, which I recommend.

The instructions for using the lockers for valuables were unclear, and the machine screen was hard to see in the sunlight, so I asked the staff at the concession stand for help. Once you receive a receipt with a 4-digit designated number printed on it, you're all set, and you can access it multiple times. Some attractions were closed, and there were long stops due to inspections or other reasons. Be careful to allow enough time to avoid being late for the bus back. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, but the bag check at the entrance is quite lenient. It's a place where both children and adults can have fun. I definitely want to go again.

ピックアップ時間は各地を回るので遅れますが行き帰り楽で楽しめました。肌寒くラッシュ必要です。入場したら場所取り必須。中央波プールのデッキチェアが争奪戦。なければ売店前丸テーブルに椅子がトイレや着替え、ロッカーにも近いし日陰でおススメ。

貴重品を預けるロッカーの使い方は分かりづらく、機械画面が日光で見えないので売店のお姉さんにヘルプ頼みました。指定番号4桁が印字されたレシートが出たら完了で、何度も出し入れ可能です。
アトラクションは中止あり、途中点検？などで長蛇のストップもあり。時間に余裕みてバス帰り時間に遅れないよう要注意。飲食持ち込み不可ですが、入場カバンチェックはゆる〜い感じです。子供から大人まで楽しめる場所です。是非また行きたい。

As shown in the photo, there was no emergence of the sandy beach from the sea, and the water reached up to my knees. Also, it was cloudy and windy that day, and I couldn't help but wonder why it was so cold in Hawaii. While snorkeling may be the main focus, I would like to see tours that are centered around the sandy beach as well.

写真にあるように海から砂浜が浮き出てくるようなことはなく、膝上程度まで海水に浸かりました。又当日は曇りで風もありハワイなのにこんなに寒いのはなぜ、といいような感じでした。シュノーケルがメインなのかもしれませんが、砂浜メインのツアーも企画して欲しいと思います。

The four-wheeler was a bit scary, but it was thrilling. I was able to experience quite a sensation. It was moving!

４輪バギーは、ちょっぴり怖かったけど、スリルがありました。中々の感覚を味わう事が出来ました。感動的です❗

The pickup took a long time and was tiring. The park itself was enjoyable with no wait times, but the only clock was broken, so I was anxious about not knowing the time.

ピックアップからの時間が長くて疲れました。パーク自体は待ち時間もなく楽しめましたが唯一の時計が壊れていて時間がわからなかったので焦りました。

Departure before sunrise to West Oahu. The scenery was different from Waikiki and had its own charm! I was able to see the dolphins swimming directly below me on the second try! Unfortunately, I used a 2mm wetsuit for warmth, but it was still cold.

西オアフまで、日の出前の出発。初めて見る景色もWaikikiとは違った風情！イルカには、２回目のトライで真下に泳ぐ姿が見られました！残念だったのは、寒さ対策で、2mmのタッパーを使いましたが、寒かったです。

I made a reservation on December 27, 2017, but it was changed to the next day due to bad weather. The change was smooth. On the 28th, the weather improved, and I was able to see many whales. My mother, who needs assistance walking, did not go up to the deck, but we were able to see plenty of whales from inside the boat. For lunch, it was a do-it-yourself burger sandwich, which was nice. There were also fruits and cookies available. The guitar player on board was exceptionally talented. Personally, I thought he resembled Kuwaman from Rats & Star (laughs). Compared to the Star of Honolulu, this is a smaller boat, giving it a homey feel, and the captain's gentlemanly demeanor was wonderful. I am very satisfied.

２０１７，１２，２７で申し込みしましたが、悪天候のため翌日に変更。変更もスムースでした。２８日はお天気も回復した、たくさんクジラが見れました。歩行に補助が必要な母はデッキにあがることはありませんでしたが、船内でも十分クジラをみることができました。ランチはいわゆるバーガーサンドを自分ですきな具合でつくるって感じですね。フルーツやクッキーなどもありました。なんといっても船内にいたギター演奏者のうまさといったら格別でした。個人的感想ですが、元ラッツアンドスターのくわまんに似ていました（笑）スターオブホノルル号にくらべて小さな船ですので、アットホームな感じで船長さんの紳士ぶりも素敵。大変満足です。

Best service, show and this young woman was my server the first time I went n I was so surprised when I show her the picture that I took the first time that she remember me and my OHANA . my experience overall was fantastic and that's why I decided to do it again...MAHALO for this beautiful and wonderful experience...

I tried on January 2nd in the morning and January 3rd in the afternoon, but I couldn't see anything at all; it was just a cruise. It would have been nice if they could have taken us to spots where we could see dolphins or turtles when we couldn't see whales, but there was nothing at all.

It was tough as a parent to see my 7-year-old's disappointment. I think it would be good to have announcements about the likelihood of sightings and explanations of the spots, but they spoke optimistically, saying that it’s unpredictable, which was very disappointing.

1/2午前、1/3午後にトライしましたが、全く見れずに、ただのクルージングでした。クジラが見れないときは、イルカや亀など見れるスポットに連れていってくれるとかあれば良いのですが、全くなく。
GPSで探してるわけでもなく、7歳の子のガッカリを見ることになり、大変、親として辛かったです。
見える可能性の公表や、スポットの説明などがあると良いと思いますが、予測できないんだよ〜〜と楽観的に話されてて、とても、残念でした。

Even if the dolphins are that far away, being told "You saw the dolphins, right?" is a bit confusing.
The light lunch and other dances were as expected.
It would be nice if there were a place for women to change besides the restroom on the way back.

イルカがあれほど遠くても「イルカ見えたでしょ、みえたでしょ」と言われても？？
軽食ランチ、他ダンスは想像通りだった
帰り女性が着替える場所がトイレ以外にあれば

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Unfortunately, the sandbar was submerged up to waist height, so we couldn't experience it, but the weather was nice and we had a great time. Interacting with the staff during the BBQ was enjoyable and the food was delicious. Many sea turtles popped their heads up, which excited everyone. It was a truly fun tour where we could enjoy swimming in a fantastic location. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was trying my best to swim, but it seemed to the staff that I looked like I was drowning (laughs), and they were worried about me. If I could wish for one thing, it would have been nice to have a bit more fresh water poured on us when we returned from the sea.

残念なことにサンバー（砂洲）は腰位まで海水があり体験できませんでしたが
お天気もよく楽しい時間をすごせました。
ＢＢＱでのスタッフとのやり取りも楽しく美味しかったです。
ウミガメもたくさん顔を出してくれて皆さん興奮していました。
最高な場所で泳ぎを楽しめて本当に楽しいツアーでした。
泳ぎの得意でない私ですが、いっしょうけんめい泳いでいましたが
スタッフにはおぼれている様に見えたよう（笑）で、
心配してくださいました。
欲を言うと海から船に戻った時にもう少し多めに真水をかけてくれると
よかったです。

I was looking forward to seeing whales, dolphins, and turtles, but I was disappointed that I didn't see anything. It's no good to have too high expectations. The weather was nice, so the view was good.

くじらやイルカカメなど楽しみにしていましたが何も見れず残念でした。期待しすぎるとダメですね。天気は良かったので眺めは良かったです。

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales. The day before my participation, there was record heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but fortunately, we were blessed with good weather. I decided to enjoy the cruise around Waikiki instead of focusing on whale watching.

I think the cruise duration was about an hour and a half. If whales can be seen from that distance, it seems they come quite close to the Waikiki area.

I signed up for a course without breakfast, but I thought at least drinks would be provided, so it might be a good idea to bring water or bottled drinks.

Also, I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can get a ticket for the next cruise, but I didn't hear anything about that. Where should I inquire about this?

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでした。参加前々日が記録的な大雨だったので、天気が心配でしたが、幸いに好天に恵まれ、クジラウォッチングではなくクルーズと割り切ることにして、ワイキキ周辺を楽しみました。
クルーズ乗船時間は賞味1時間半程度かと思います。あれくらいの距離の移動でクジラが見られるのでしたら、ワイキキ周辺近くまで近づいてくるのだなと思いました。

朝食なしのコースで申し込みましたが、飲み物くらいは出されると思っていたので、お水やペットボトルのﾄﾞﾘﾝｸを持ち込んだ方がいいかもしれません。

それから、クジラを見られなかったときの次回乗船券をいただけるということでしたが、そういったお話しはなく、これはどこで聞いたらいいのでしょう？

The lockers are conveniently located near the rides. However, it was unclear what needed to be done before using the lockers. I was able to experience almost everything without much waiting, which was stress-free. The only clock in the park was broken, so it was difficult to know the time.

ロッカーが乗り物近くにあるので便利。ただロッカー使用前に必要な作業がわかりにくかった。そこまで並ばずにほとんど体験出来たのでストレスフリー。パーク内の唯一の時計が壊れていて時間が分からず困った。

I didn't like that it took a long time to be picked up by a shared vehicle, so I chose the meet-up plan. I went to the location indicated on the map, which was the center of Aloha Marketplace, but there was no ticket center. I tried calling the local phone number, but it didn't connect, and time was running out, causing me to panic. In the end, I asked a crew member from another boat, who told me that there was a ticket booth next to the boat I was supposed to board, and I barely made it in time. I think the explanation was insufficient. I would like the meet-up location to be accurately provided. I couldn't see any whales, which was the worst part.

混載車での送迎で時間がかかるのが嫌なので現地集合プランを選択しました。現地集合の場所はこちらと地図に示されていたアロハマーケットプレイスの中心にへ行きましたがチケットサンターがありません。現地電話番号に電話をしても繋がらず時間も迫りあたふた。結局、別の船の乗務員さんに聞いて乗る船の横にチケットブースがあると教えてもらいギリギリ間に合いましたが説明不足だと思います。現地集合の場所を正確に載せてもらいたいです。くじらも見えず最悪でした。

Two years ago, I participated in a program at a junior high school and swam with dolphins. I wanted to experience that happiness again, so I joined this time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any dolphins, but I was moved to see whales and turtles. I even got to see the spouts of several whales from a distance! And as expected from a university, Mr. Takao's passionate lecture and the meaningful movements in the dance were rich in content, conveying a love for Hawaii that captivated me. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again! (*^^*)

2年前に中学の方で参加しイルカと泳ぎました。その時の幸せ感を味わいたく今回参加させていただきました。残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけれど、クジラや亀に会えて感動しました。少し遠くですがクジラの潮吹きもみられました。それも何頭も…！そしてさすが大学、Mr.Takaoの熱のこもった講義？や、ひとうひとつの動作に意味を感じるダンス等も内容が濃く、Hawaii愛が伝わり聴きいってしまいました。ありがとうございました。また、是非参加させていただきます(*^^*)
