Oahu Spinner Dolphin Tour on the Waianae Coast with Snorkeling, Lunch & Hotel Transportation

Turtles are still slow in the water, works for this activity..

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

First time doing this. Thoroughly enjoyed it between the dolphins and turtle. I found a turtle by my lonesome, shared with everyone, but I guess there was more action somewhere else. I swam with the turtle as it slowly rose up to surface to get a breathe of air that took no more than one second. Then it went on its way. I don't have pictures of that experience to share, but I did have a go pro recording the whole time. So I have that to take with me the rest of my life.
Needs to said, there is a catch. If you want more interaction with mammal sea life, there is another activity that gets your first hand, up close and personal. However you are in a control environment. Whereas this activity is in the ocean; wildlife, so more than dolphins and turtles to experience(depending on the time of year too).

If I am allowed to edit this post, and also allow to post a hyperlink to a YouTube video, I will post that turtle swim.

  • Right before we jumped in the water

  • Vast mountain landscape is something you can never get bored looking at

  • After we docked, looking east from the harbor.

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

The clear blue sea of Waianae. Waianaeの澄んだブルーの海

Reviewed by: Chill

Swimming with dolphins in the ocean has always been my dream, so I enrolled in a university with many activities after debating between middle school and university. The meeting time is early at 6 AM. I've heard that dolphins are still sleepy at that time!

They say Hawaiians are laid-back with time, but the tour bus is punctual, so I think it's best to gather at least 10 minutes before the meeting time. On the bus, we watch an English DVD about safety precautions and how to use the snorkeling mask, but we receive explanations in Japanese later, which is reassuring.

Follow the rules and enjoy the activities! For ocean activities, I recommend wearing a jacket because it can get chilly with the sea breeze while moving on the boat. Also, the boat can get wet, so bring a bag that you don’t mind getting wet or waterproof gear.

The coastline to Waianae is truly beautiful, and the water is very clear! We set off on the boat and performed a ceremony for safety, offering plumeria flowers to the sea. It was a blessed day with perfect weather. We saw so many dolphins on our second try. After being in the water for a while, we watched excited dolphins swimming around us repeatedly. Since they are wild dolphins, it’s all about luck. I’m grateful for such a fortunate day, and we even saw a turtle.

While snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish. I took off my life jacket and swam among the fish! The staff dove in and made bubble rings, adding to the excitement. I chose this university because of the long duration and the opportunity to do SUP. I managed to stand up!

On the way back to the boat harbor, we had hamburgers and drinks. It seemed like the equipment was having some issues that day, but there was still hula. Upon arriving at the port, we wanted to do some sightseeing on the west coast, so we disbanded locally. We received eco-bags as a substitute for diplomas and, with permission, disbanded locally. After that, we took The Bus to Mermaid Cave.

The staff advised us to be careful due to safety concerns. Thank you for your consideration! This university is the best! I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. It was the best activity I participated in! Mahalo!

イルカのいる海で泳ぐのが夢でしたので、中学と大学迷ってアクティビティが多い大学に入学。
集合時間が6時と早いです。イルカが寝ぼけてるうちに、と何かで聞いたことがあります!
Hawaiianは時間にルーズだと言いますが、ツアーバスは時間厳守で迎えに来て頂けるので、集合時間10分前には集まっていた方が良いと思います。
バスの中では英語のDVDで非常時の際の注意事項や、シュノーケルマスクの使い方などを見ますが、後から日本語で説明を受けるので安心です。
ルールを守って楽しくアクティビティ!
海のアクティビティは船移動中海風が寒いので上着をオススメ!後は、船の中は水びたしになるので、濡れてもいいバックでいくか、防水グッズをお忘れなく。
Waianaeまでの海岸線は本当にキレイです。海の中も透明度が高い!ボートで出発してE Ho Maiの安全を祈る儀式でプルメリアを海に。
この日は本当に恵まれた日で、天気は最高。
イルカも2回目のトライにはたーくさん。しばらく海に入って何回も私たちの下を泳いでいくのを見て、興奮したイルカ達が回りを何回もグルグル泳いでいてくれました。
野生のイルカなのでその辺は運次第。
恵まれた日で感謝です。カメまで見れました。
シュノーケルはたくさんのキレイな魚が見れました。
ライフジャケットを脱いで潜って魚の中を泳ぐ!
スタッフさんが潜ってバブルリング作って見せてくれたりと、盛り上げてくれます。
大学を選んだのは時間が長いのと、SUPができるから。
なんとか立てました!
ボートハーバーに戻る間にハンバーガーとドリンク頂き、この日は機械の調子が悪かったようですがフラがあります。
港につき、私たちは西海岸観光がしたかったので現地解散。卒業証書かわりのエコバッグを頂いて、許可を得た上で私たちだけ現地解散。その後THe BusでMermaid Cave に。
スタッフの方には治安が悪いので気をつけるようによく言われました。
お気遣いありがとうございました!
大学最高!またハワイに来た際は参加したいです。
参加したアクティビティで1番でした!Mahalo!

I was lucky. I recommend university over junior high school. 運が良かった 中学より大学がオススメ

Reviewed by: ばななまん

We gathered at Hilton at 6 AM, and they seemed to have picked us up about 10 minutes earlier. When we went, the order of pickups was Prince → Hilton → Sheraton.

After about an hour's drive, we arrived at Waianae Harbor. We were supposed to board a medium-sized boat and head out, but on that day, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins in the shallows.

As we spotted dolphins in the distance, we hurried to get ready and jumped into the water. For those who can't swim or aren't very comfortable in the ocean, falling from the boat might be a bit scary. Hang in there!

After floating for a while, a pod of dolphins came by at intervals. The sea was very clear that day, and we could see them much more clearly than the last time we saw them. The dolphins would swim away and then come back or get close to us; it was truly a lucky day.

After saying goodbye to the dolphins and getting back on the boat, it was time for turtle snorkeling! Previously, we had seen two turtles of different sizes swimming together, but this time we only saw one medium-sized turtle. Two participants even touched the turtle, which was surprising...

After enjoying about 15 minutes of that, we split into those who would continue with stand-up paddleboarding & boating and those who would continue snorkeling. Since stand-up paddleboarding and boating can also be done at the hotel, we chose to continue snorkeling.

I was a bit disappointed thinking we might only see one turtle today, but after believing and waiting, we ended up seeing about 4 to 5 turtles in turn. I think we snorkeled for about 30 minutes. It was great to have so much time for snorkeling.

When everyone got back on the boat, lunch was served: cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. The cheeseburgers were regular-sized and tasted average.

After that, we all danced the hula, which turned out to be surprisingly fun. I have participated in dolphin encounters before, but since this included snorkeling and hula dancing, I think I would choose the university program again next time.

ヒルトンは朝6時に集合、10分前には迎えに来ていたみたいです。私達のときはプリンス→ヒルトン→シェラトンの順で送迎でした。
そこから一時間ほど車に乗り、ワイアナエハーバーへ。中型のボートに乗り、沖へ…となる予定でしたが、この日は運良く浅瀬の方でイルカに出会えました。
少し先に見えるイルカを目で追いながら急いで準備をし、海に飛び込みます。
泳げない人や海にあまり慣れていない人は船から海に落ちるのが少し怖いかもしれません。頑張って!
しばらく浮いて待っていると、イルカの群れが数個時間差でやってきました。海がとても透明な日で、以前見たときより数倍はっきり見えました。
イルカが向こうに行ったと思ったらまた帰ってきたり、近くに来てくれたり、本当に運が良かった日でした。
イルカたちを見送って船に上がり、今度はウミガメシュノーケル!以前は大小2匹が一緒に泳いでいたのですが、この日は中くらい1匹を皆で見ました。ツアー参加者で二人、ウミガメに触っている人がいました。びっくり…。。
皆で15分楽しんだあとはスタンダップパドル&ボート組とシュノーケル続行組に別れました。
スタンダップパドルとボートはホテルでもできるので、シュノーケル続行組にしました。
今日はウミガメ1匹かな、と少し残念でしたが、ひたすら信じて待っていたところ、計4~5匹ほど順番に現れてくれました。計30分くらいはシュノーケルしたと思います。時間的にたくさんシュノーケルできて良かったです。
皆が船に上がるとランチのチーズバーガー・ジュース・スナックが出ました。チーズバーガーは普通サイズで味も普通。
そのあとはフラダンスを皆で踊り、これが意外と楽しかったです。
イルカ中学にも参加したことがありますが、シュノーケルの長さとフラダンスがあるので次参加する場合はまた大学の方を選ぶと思います。

ALOHA!! Thank you for participating this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

The kids were thrilled! 子供も大喜び!

Reviewed by: Ik family

I was worried about waking up early for our second day in Hawaii, but we made it onto the bus without any issues! Since it can be quite physically demanding, I recommend having at least a little breakfast before heading out.

We started snorkeling when we spotted a group of dolphins, but they disappeared quickly, so we returned to the boat and moved to another location. We repeated snorkeling a total of three times where the dolphins were. The kids, who had only interacted with dolphins at places like Sea Life Park, were extremely excited to see them swimming so close by.

After the dolphins, we snorkeled at a spot with honu (sea turtles) and fish. The honu came so close that the kids were thrilled once again. We brought a waterproof camera, so even now, the kids look at the photos of the dolphins and honu and reminisce about the experience. They still cherish the stuffed animals we received.

Swimming against the waves can be tiring, but it was a pleasant fatigue. Watching the sunrise from the ocean and having such wonderful experiences made it all worthwhile.

If I have the chance again, I would love to enroll in college.

ハワイ2日目の朝早くの出発で起きられるのか心配でしたが、無事にバスに乗車!
かなり体力を消耗するので、少しでも朝食を取っていった方が良いと思います。

イルカのグループがいたのでシュノーケリング開始しましたが、あっという間にいなくなりボートへ戻り移動。またイルカがいるところでシュノーケリングを合計3回繰り返しました。すぐ近くをイルカたちが泳ぎ、シーライフパーク等でイルカに触れ合った位しかしたことがない子供たちは大興奮でした。
イルカの後はホヌや魚がいるスポットでシュノーケリング。こちらでもホヌが触れるくらい近くまで来て、またも子供たちは大興奮でした。防水カメラを持参していったので、今でも子供たちはイルカやホヌの写真を見ては思い出に浸っています。いただいたぬいぐるみは今でも大切にしています。

波に逆らって泳いだりして疲れますがそれは心地よい疲労感で、海から朝日を見たり素敵な体験をしたので参加してよかったと思います。

また機会があったら大学へ入学したいと思います。

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

I recommend taking measures to prevent seasickness. 船酔い対策をおすすめします

Reviewed by: なぁぁ

Honestly, I feel a strong sense of disappointment. We moved from the meeting point to the office and watched an explanatory video. Up to that point, everything was fine, but after that, we waited about an hour for the boat to go out to sea. There was no explanation, and we just waited. Finally, when the boat arrived and we thought we were going out to sea, we just boarded another boat that had already gone out. On that boat, there was still no explanation, and we were made to wait for over an hour… and in the end, I got seasick. I ended up experiencing the underwater scooter while not feeling well.

By the way, there were about ten Japanese people on board with us, and almost everyone was struggling with seasickness; they all looked very uncomfortable. I definitely recommend that anyone participating in the future take measures against seasickness!

正直、残念という想いが強いです。
集合場所からオフィスまで移動し説明ビデオを観賞。ここまでは良かったのですが、その後は海にでる船を待つこと約1時間。なんの説明もなく、ただただ待つだけ。やっと船が来て海に出たと思ったら、先に海に出ていた船へ乗船するだけ。その船でもまったく説明がないまま、さらに1時間以上待たされ…あげくのはてに船酔い。体調が優れないまま水中スクーターを体験するという結果になりました。
ちなみに一緒に乗船していた中に日本の方が10名ほどおりましたが、ほぼ全員の方が船酔いとの闘いで、皆さんもとて辛そうでした。
ぜひ今後、参加される方は必ず船酔い対策をし参加されることをおすすめします‼

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Snorkeling and pleasant sailing off Waikiki ワイキキ沖でのシュノーケルと気持ちよいセーリング

Reviewed by: こううん

I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.

After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins! イルカがたくさん見れました!

Reviewed by: s&y

I was really looking forward to this tour because I had heard from a friend who participated that it was great.

On the bus ride from the meeting point to the West Coast, the staff energetically explained the climate of Hawaii and more. They also taught us the differences between mammals and fish in a fun quiz format, and when we encountered dolphins, they explained how to approach them without startling them, which heightened my anticipation even more.

Then, we set sail. When we spotted dolphins, we went closer by boat and swam near them under the guidance of the staff.

There were about 50 dolphins swimming together. We swam just below the surface, so we could see the dolphins swimming above us. I was moved by this first-time experience! And they were wild dolphins. It became an unforgettable moment.

On the way back, we enjoyed cheeseburgers and warm tea on the boat. Eating them while feeling the wind after swimming made them taste even better than usual.

In the end, all the crew members danced hula on the boat to wrap up the tour. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

友人がこのツアーに参加し、とてもよかったときいていたので、とても楽しみにしていました。

集合場所から西海岸までの行きのバスの中、元気いっぱいにスタッフさんがハワイについての気候等の説明もしてくれました。
その他、哺乳類と魚類の違いをクイズ形式でわかりやすく教えてもらったり、イルカに遭遇した時にイルカが驚かないポイントの説明を受け、 一層期待が湧きました。

そして、出港。イルカを見つけると船で近くまで行き、スタッフさんの誘導でイルカの近くまで泳ぎました。

イルカが50匹ほど群れをつくっていました。イルカの群れよりも海面に近いところを私たちは泳いでいたので、イルカの群れが泳いでいるのを上から見ました。
この初めての体験に感動しました!
しかも野生のイルカです。一生忘れない感動になりました。

帰りの船の中でチーズバーガー、温かいお茶を頂きました。
泳いだ後に船の上で風にあたりながら頂いたので、いつもより格別に美味しかったです。

Very satisfied! A sea turtle was swimming right next to me! ★ 大満足!ウミガメも横を泳いでた★

Reviewed by: ちゃんたんくん

My 5-year-old nephew also participated. (The accompanying fee was a bit high...) We were able to play at the Kaizan Bar as if we had it all to ourselves. After this, we joined other underwater scooter participants by boat, and my nephew stayed on the boat while the three of us went diving. The clarity of the ocean was amazing. Each diver was with us, so it was completely not scary. By shaking a net filled with bread underwater, a huge number of fish gathered around us. A photographer took underwater photos for us (for a fee, and later, the photos will be sent via email. You can choose between videos and photos), so there’s no need to bring an underwater camera. While waiting on the boat, my nephew also got some bread and was allowed to feed the fish. Snacks and water are available freely. However, since you might get hungry, I recommend bringing some light snacks.

5歳の甥っ子も一緒に参加しました。(同行料金にしては高い。。。)
カイサンドバーで、貸切のような形で、遊べました。
この後、ボートで他の水中スクーター参加者と合流し、甥っ子は、ボートでお留守番させ、三人で潜りました。海の透明度すごいかったです。
一人ずつ、ダイバーがついてくれるので全く怖くありません。
水中で、パンの入った網をゆすることで、ものすごい勢いで魚たちが集まってきます。
カメラマンが水中写真を撮ってくれるので(有料で、のちほど、写真がメールで送られてきます。動画と写真選べます。)水中カメラを持っていく必要はありません。
ボートで待っている間、甥っ子もパンをもらい、えさやりをさせてもらいました。
スナック菓子と水は自由に頂けます。
しかし、お腹がすくので、軽食を持っていくことをおすすめします。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Turtles!

I saw 3 and one came up to the surface beside me! Very cool. Unfortunately there wasn't much else to see, some fish. Stay near the guides in the water as they know where turtles hang out. Crew was outstanding! Catamaran ride was fun!

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

It became the best memory! 最高の思い出になりました!

Reviewed by: hawaiilove

We participated in this tour because we really wanted to see wild dolphins on our honeymoon.

The meeting time was at 5:55 AM, but around 5:20 AM, a Japanese female staff member called our hotel room for a morning call. During that call, she informed us that we needed to wear swimsuits and that if we wanted to rent a wetsuit, it would cost $5 per person, so we needed to have cash on hand.

The participants on the bus were mostly Japanese, with about 20 people in total. Inside the bus, the Japanese staff explained the precautions and how to use the snorkel, which made us feel at ease. They also recommended that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication on the bus. Motion sickness wristbands were available for sale on the bus for $20, but I didn’t buy one. By the way, I got quite seasick during the parasailing the day before, but I didn’t feel sick at all during this dolphin tour.

Finally, we boarded the boat and cruised to the point where the dolphins were located. There were four staff members on board, and they were all very enthusiastic, chatting with us in English, which created a fun atmosphere throughout. Then we finally spotted the dolphins and dove into the sea with our snorkels! We swam close to the dolphins, and there were so many swimming just below me!! Both my husband and I were thrilled to see them up close. Please make sure to bring an underwater camera. I highly recommend participating in this tour.

ハネムーンで、野生のイルカをどうしても見たくて主人と二人で参加しました。

朝5時55分の集合でしたが、5時20分頃に、ホテルの部屋まで日本人の女性のスタッフの方からモーニングコールがありました。その際に水着着用のことと、水中は寒い為、ウエットスーツをレンタルする場合には、一人$5必要な為、現金が必要な旨連絡がありました。

到着したバスの参加者はほぼ日本人で、20名くらいがいたと思います。
バスの中で、日本人スタッフの方から注意事項やシュノーケルの使い方など説明があり安心できました。また酔いやすい方は、バスの中で薬を飲むことをお勧めします。バスでは酔い止めのリストバンドも売られていましたが、$20のため、私は買いませんでした。ちなみに前日参加したパラセイリングではかなり酔ってしまったのですが、このイルカツアーは全く酔わなかったです。

いよいよ船に乗り、イルカがいるポイントまでクルーズをします。スタッフの方4名いたのですが、皆さんテンションが高く英語で色々と話しかけてくれる為、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。そしていよいよイルカを発見し、シュノーケルをつけて海にダイブします!そしてイルカの近くまでみんなで泳いでいきました。するとそこにはたくさんのイルカたちが私のすぐ下を泳いでいました!!
こんなに間近で見ることができ、主人も私も感激しています。水中カメラは絶対に持参してください。
ぜひ参加をお勧めします。

Dolphins are indeed smart! イルカはやっぱり賢い!

Reviewed by: さちえ

I participated with my elementary and middle school children. Although we had touched dolphins a little during the dolphin show, we had never experienced swimming with them or kissing them, so both the children and adults who participated were very satisfied.

小学生と中学生の子どもと参加しました。
イルカショーで少しタッチした事はあっても、泳いだりキスしたりなどなどの経験はなかったので参加した子どもも大人も大満足でした。

Dolphin Encounter with friends and family. 友人と家族と参加ドルフィンエンカウンター

Reviewed by: ふじぱぱ

I participated with friends and family. The reservation process was smooth, and I had some questions that were easily addressed with direct inquiries at the location. The polite email correspondence was also very helpful. Upon arrival, my reservation information was already registered, so I was called by name and could start the experience right away. I would like to use this service again when I visit Hawaii.

友人と家族とで参加してきました。
予約もスムーズで不明点がありまして
現地へ直接の問い合わせもスムーズでまた丁寧にメールでのやりとりも助かりました。
現地でも予約情報が登録してありましたので名前を呼ばれてすぐに体験できました。
またハワイに行く際は利用したいと思います。

The best memory of swimming alongside dolphins and turtles! イルカとカメと並んで泳いだ最高の思い出!

Reviewed by: 鈴木隆義

The tour explanation on the bus was very easy to understand, covering both the geography of Oahu and the ecology of dolphins in a way that even beginners could grasp, which was educational. At this point, my excitement was building, and I arrived at the location feeling thrilled. On the boat, we were already aware of the safety instructions, so it was fun to search for dolphins without any anxiety. We encountered dolphins in no time, and the captain's and staff's guidance was loud and clear, making it easy to hear even while our faces were in the water. I will never forget the sight of dolphins swimming underwater. The sea turtles were amazing too! It was my first time having a turtle swim just a few meters below me suddenly surface and make eye contact as if we were close enough to touch. Then, it swam right next to me, making it feel like I was being played with by the sea turtle. The accompanying camera staff were also delightful, and we enjoyed the experience together. This was the best tour ever! Seriously!!

行きのバス内でのツアーの説明はとても分かりやすく、オアフ島の地理的な面もイルカの生態なども、素人にも理解できる内用で勉強になりました。そしてこの時点でテンションが上がり、ワクワクしながら現地に着きましたよ。船上では既に注意事項を把握していますので、不安無く皆でイルカ探しが出来たのも楽しかったですね。イルカに遭遇する時間もあまりかからず、船長の誘導やスタッフの誘導も大声で聞き取りやすく、水面に顔を浸けていても不安がありませんでした。イルカの水中を泳ぐ姿は生涯忘れないでしょう。ウミガメも最高!数メートル下を泳ぐ亀が突然浮上してきて、手が届きそうな場所で見詰め合ったのは初めてでした。そうかと思うと、今度は真横に泳いでくれたりして、まるでウミカメに遊ばれているようでした。付き添いのカメラスタッフも愉快な方で、一緒に楽しめましたよ。これは最高のツアーでした!マジで!!

I saw it! 見えた!

Reviewed by: かーちん

We participated as a couple. We boarded the boat with a mix of skepticism and high expectations about what we would see. Every time someone shouted, there was a commotion and movement, which was a bit tiring... but we did see it. Just when we thought we might not see anything, we spotted the tail... Unfortunately, we couldn't see the large body, but the view of Honolulu Beach from the sea was breathtaking. I would like to participate again during a better season.

夫婦二人で参加しました。どのくらい見えるのか、半信半疑も期待大で乗船しました。誰かが叫ぶたびにどよめきと移動で少々くたびれましたが・・・見えたんです。もう駄目かなと思っていたときに尾びれが・・・残念ながら大きなからだの部分は見えませんでしたが、海から眺めるホノルルビーチの風景は絶景でした。また季節の良い時に参加したいと思います。

At 58 years old, I experienced snorkeling for the first time. I put on a wetsuit over my swimsuit, wore a life jacket, added fins, and attached the snorkel for mouth breathing. Everything was new to me, and then I dove into the sea. The blue sky, the blue ocean, and the crystal-clear water stretched as far as I could see, and there I was with dolphins. Not just a few, but dozens of them were swimming around me, right below and beside me, so close I could almost reach out and touch them. I was unbelievably excited and moved. I also made friends with the other participants, and we all had a great time together, laughing and enjoying ourselves on this wonderful tour. I participated with my husband and sister, and even though my sister visits Hawaii more than twice a year, it was her first time seeing dolphins, and she was thrilled to have such a precious experience. She was so moved that at 65, she was wearing a swimsuit and jumping into the ocean. I felt the same way; it was refreshing and incredibly healing. The blue ocean of Hawaii, the school of dolphins, the smiles of the participants, Julie's bright and fun personality, the photographer swimming like a mermaid, and the captain in a red T-shirt who suited the role perfectly—all the cheerful and fun staff made it the best memory of Hawaii. The dolphin experience was the highlight. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you to all the staff. I gained the energy to tackle work and house chores after returning to Japan. I want to brag to my friends about this. It’s a lifelong memory.

私 58才にして、初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。水着の上にウエットスーツ、ライフジャケットを付け、足ヒレも付け、シュノーケルを付け口呼吸 すべてが初めての事で、いざ海にダイブ。青い空、青い海、どこまでも見渡せる透明度の海、その中に私とイルカがいました。何頭ではなく何十頭も泳いでいて、私の泳いでいるすぐ下にも、横にもイルカが、すぐ手の届く所にいるなんて、信じられないくらい興奮し感動しました。一緒に参加した人達とも仲良くなれて、みんなでワイワイ、ガヤガヤ、ノリノリでとても楽しいツアーでした。私は夫と姉と三人で参加しましたが、姉は年に2回以上はハワイに来てるのに、イルカを見に行ったのは初めてと、貴重な体験をしたと、とても喜んでいました。まさか65才になって水着を着て、海に飛び込むとはと、すっごく感動してました。私も同じ気持ちで、心が洗われ、とても癒されました。ハワイの青い海、イルカの群れ、参加した人達の笑顔、ジュリさんの明るく楽しいキャラ、カメラマンさんの人魚みたいに泳ぐ姿、赤Tシャツがよく似合うキャプテン、みなさん陽気で楽しいスタッフに恵まれ、最高に楽しいハワイの思い出となりました。イルカ中学最高でした。又ぜひ参加したいと思います。スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。また日本に帰ってからの仕事、家事、頑張れる元気もらいました。友達に自慢したいと思います。一生の思い出です。
