At first, I didn't include a plan with transportation, but when I asked to be let on the bus halfway through, the bus driver kindly let me on. However, after getting off the bus, I paid for the bus fare, and it was really expensive (laughs). But I'm grateful to the bus driver!
最初、送迎こみでのプランにしていなかったのですが、バスに乗せてくださいと途中で言ったのにもかかわらず

My sister and I jumped 150 meters, but surprisingly, I got sick in the air. I took motion sickness medication before going, which helped with the car ride, but the boat's swaying was quite strong, and I quickly felt unwell. Although I felt sick, the activity itself was really fun. For those who want to try it, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and not eating beforehand.
姉と二人で150m飛びましたが、なんと空中でもどしてしまいました。酔い止めは飲んで行ったのですが、車の揺れには効いても、ボートの揺れはかなり強く、すぐに気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔って気持ちが悪いということはありましたが、アクティビティ自体は、すごく楽しかったです。挑戦される方には、酔い止めを必ず飲むこと以外に、食事をしてこないことをおススメします。

When we arrived at the port and were about to board, despite having signed up for a meal (showing the smartphone screen of the reservation), we were told that there was no such notification. After confirming with VELTRA over the phone at the counter, it turned out there was a communication error with the operating company after about 10 minutes of investigation. I'm glad it was resolved, but with the departure time approaching, I felt anxious in a foreign place where I struggled with the language. The whale watching was good; although the wind was strong, we were able to see the tails a few times. The meal was also delicious.
港に着いてさあ乗船となった時、食事つきで申し込んだにもかかわらず(申し込みのスマホの画面を提示)、そのような連絡が来てないとのこと。カウンターでVELTRAに電話で確認したところ、10分程調べてもらった結果、運航会社への連絡ミスとわかりました。解決したので良かったですが、出航時間も迫り、言葉の不自由な旅行先で不安になりました。ホエールウォッチングは風が強かったものの、何回か尾びれも見えました。食事も美味しかったです。

We experienced this with five children aged 5, 4, 3, and 2 during a family trip. Each child had one adult accompanying them, entering the water together (with the water depth around the adult's waist), and there was one trainer for each group.
At the trainer's signal, we called the dolphins, and they showed us various tricks. We were also able to touch the dolphins. The trainer taught us how to pose for photos, and a dedicated photographer took pictures for us.
The adults were even more impressed by being so close to the dolphins than the children! (laughs)

Using the Passport is a great way to visit all four areas at your own pace. Spend an entire day taking your time to truly appreciate each site without a tour company rushing you along to "stay on schedule "! The audio tour is included so you will learn everything that a tour guide can tell you. Simply rent a car, take a cab or take The Bus to get there and enjoy your day. You should plan on being there early as the center gets extremely busier as the day goes along.

If you're looking to catch monster sized fish, this isn't for you, but we caught a lot of pretty and tasty fish that were grilled up on the ship and also got to take some home.

He was very professional at all times. We would hIghly recommend him as a tour guide. We had a blast!

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!
We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!
The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.
I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.
We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!
That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.
I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!
It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!
ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ!そして念願の初めてのイルカ!
朝は早く、バスでは絶対に寝ちゃうと思っていたけどイルカに逢えるワクワクで全然寝れず。。。

今日は少し波が高めなのか、ちょっと気持ちがブルーになりかけちゃいました。
だけどしばらくしたらcaptainからイルカが見えるよの言葉で気持ち悪さも吹っ飛び!
いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい?がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。
水中カメラ買っていって良かった〜、本当に良かった〜(現像待ち笑)
十分に堪能したら船に戻り今度はシュノーケリングスポットへ!その途中でクジラも見れました!クルーも言ってたけど、こんなに近くで見れることなんてないとのこと。めちゃくちゃラッキーでした!
シュノーケリングスポットついて入ってみるととてもじゃないけど水が濁っていてシュノーケリングどころじゃなかったのが残念でした。ここで星ひとつ減点。
早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー!タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー!そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった!
これでツアーはおしまい。
バスに戻って泳いで疲れたのか即爆睡。気づいた頃にはホノルルでした。
イルカに会えたし、チーズバーガーも美味しいし、クルーはみんないい人だったし是非また参加したいです。

I probably wouldn't have chosen this if it were an adult-only trip, but since this was a trip with my grandchildren, I participated in this tour that my one-year-old grandchild could uniquely experience.
I had seen comments saying, "It's not as big as expected," so I didn't have high expectations for the scale and instead enjoyed the animals that we could see and touch up close. Touching a dolphin was, I believe, my first and last experience, and my five-year-old grandchild was overjoyed. It might have been a bit too early for my one-year-old grandchild (who didn't seem scared but disliked the life jacket). The location is also fantastic.
I purchased the commemorative photos as data, but there was a problem where they weren't included on the CD I brought back. However, the staff at Sea Life Park and the staff at Veltra, whom I asked for help, were very kind and assisted me in obtaining the data successfully.
大人だけの旅行でしたらたぶん選択しなかったと思いますが、今回は孫たちとの旅行だったので1歳の孫が唯一体験できるこのツアーに参加致しました。
「期待するほどの規模ではない」との書き込みを見ていたので、規模には期待することなく、間近で見られるそして触れる動物たちを楽しみました。
イルカに触れたのは、私にとって最初で最後の体験だと思いますし、5歳の孫も大喜びでした。1歳の孫にはやはり早すぎたかも。(怖がるのではなくライフジャケットを嫌がっていました)ロケーションも最高です。
記念写真をデータで購入したのですが、持ち帰ったCDに入っていないというトラブルがありましたが、シーライフパークのスタッフの方々、そして助けを求めたベルトラさんのスタッフの方にご親切に対応して頂き、無事データを入手致しました。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, I was able to enjoy a different charm of Hawaii that is not found at the beach or in the city. I took my two children on a movie location tour, a jungle tour, and a cruise. Since we spent most of the time on vehicles, it was quite easy even with kids. On Sunday, the cruise tour was smaller in scale, but instead, we enjoyed various tropical fruits at an orchard, which turned out to be quite nice.
