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

Dolphins! Dolphins! Dolphins!

Reviewed by: Karol Lisboa

Booking with VELTRA was really easy and fast, I gave them my information and they took care of the rest for me.

Dolphin Excursions Hawaii was also great! I had no problems with my pick up and
the boat crew was kind, friendly and helpful, they took many incredible pictures during the tour.

The West Side of the Island is beautiful. Snorkeling was amaaazing, we spotted so many dolphins, turtles and different species of fish. After the tour we had lunch at the Spinners Cafe, the food was very tasty.

I love marine life, especially dolphins, they are incredible animals! I had a lot of fun! This tour was the highlight of my trip.

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Catamaran Sail and SNUBA!

Reviewed by: Annieben

This activity was a highlight of our trip! The crew was great & we had a blast snorkeling/Snuba-ing! We highly suggest doing the SNUBA! Ross was our guide, and helped make us feel comfortable with everything and helped make our experience great! Food and Drinks were an added bonus. Didn't see any Dolphins, but plenty of beautiful fish, starfish, & turtles. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

SO AWESOME, only wish it was longer

Reviewed by: Jon and Jeanne

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.

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>

I'm satisfied with the well-planned tour. よく練られたツアーで満足です

Reviewed by: なおまり

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったUSB(60ドル)を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。USBを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、USBにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ(プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした)、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台(船の上から海にとびこみます)もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー(タロイモの紫のパンズ)とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
 船からおりたら港のトイレ(ひろくてきれいです)にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ(潜水記録)をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。

My husband and I participated in the tour.

Due to the large number of participants, we departed in two groups, but it turned out to be very lucky for us to be in a smaller group!

The explanations were incredibly thorough, and I don't think there are many tours in Japan that provide such detailed information.

The staff were all friendly and created a wonderful atmosphere (^_^).

When we finally saw dolphins, it was truly moving! Although they were a bit far away, seeing a pod of dozens of them was breathtaking! It was thanks to the captain and the staff's keen eyes (T ^ T).

And miraculously, we spotted a whale! It disappeared in an instant, but I believe it was a miracle to see one at this time of year.

The most thrilling moment was swimming with sea turtles, which had been a dream of mine! Being able to see them up close and having several appear was absolutely amazing! I'm already hooked.

I am filled with gratitude for all the staff! Thank you very much. I believe this tour is worth more than the price.

主人と利用させていただきました。
1便が人数が多いため2便での出発になりましたが、少人数で逆にとてもラッキーでした!

説明が本当に丁寧で、日本でもここまで説明してくれるツアーはそうないと思います。

スタッフの皆さんも和気あいあいでとてもいい雰囲気でした(^_^)

念願のイルカを見れた時は本当に感動!!
少し遠かったですが、数十頭の群れをなす姿は圧巻

Disappointed ガッカリ

Reviewed by: ヒロミ

I signed up with my two daughters. We didn't see any dolphins at all... I understand it's wild, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was very disappointing. We did manage to spot a sea turtle from the moving boat, but they didn't slow down for us, and there was no explanation from the guide! As for the light snack? Just one piece of cheese and a paper cup of tea! We had brought our own bottled drinks!

I heard we could retry for half price, but spending nearly 70,000 yen for the three of us to see dolphins... Everyone's spirits dropped, and it turned into a very quiet tour. I regret not signing up for a different tour.

娘達と3人で申し込みました。
イルカには全然会えず……野生なのでしょうがないのでしょうが楽しみにしていただけにとても残念でした。しかも海ガメは走っているボートから自力でなんとか見つけ見ることができましたがスピードを落としてくれるわけでもないし ガイドさんからの説明もなし!軽食?……チーズ1本、紙コップ1杯のお茶!自分達はしっかりペットボトルを持ち込んで飲んでいました!
半額でリトライできるとの事でしたが3人でイルカを見るために7万近いお金は……

Dolphin University, Committed to the Wild 野生にこだわるイルカ大学

Reviewed by: ありんこ

This time, I participated in an activity at the prestigious Dolphin University for the first time. I had never experienced snorkeling before, so I was anxious about keeping up with everyone, but thanks to the fun instructors' guidance, I was able to see wild spinner dolphins right from the start. Since they were wild, I learned various things, such as the cute sounds of the dolphins, the scars they have from surviving in nature (like from battles with sharks), and how the pods move.

However, not everyone was able to observe the spinner dolphins, so we tried multiple times, and finally, on the third attempt, everyone succeeded. I had signed up for stand-up paddleboarding because I wanted to experience it, but due to time constraints, we were unable to do it. I was quite disappointed about that. However, I felt a strong sense of unity with my classmates as we all aimed for success, which was very moving.

During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish, but the guide was feeding them with bread or something, so if we were focused on wild dolphins and wild sea turtles, I wish they had also emphasized keeping it wild in that aspect. Nevertheless, the tour at the prestigious Dolphin University was overall very enjoyable, and I was able to encounter the dolphins I was aiming for, so I am very satisfied.

今回、初めて名門イルカ大学さんのアクティビティーに参加させて頂きました。私は、今までシュノーケリングなどを経験したことがなかったので、周りついていけるか不安でしたが、楽しいインストラクターの方々の誘導により、一発目から野生のスピナードルフィンをみることができました。野生だったので、可愛いイルカの声や、自然界を生き抜いていることによる傷跡(サメ等と戦った後)、そして群れがどのように動いていくのか等と、様々なことを知ることができました。
ただ、全員がスピナードルフィンを観測できたわけではなかったので、何度もトライをし、ついに三回目で全員成功となりました。
スタンドアップパドルを体験したく、こちらの名門イルカ大学さんに申し込みを入れましたが、時間がおした関係で、スタンドアップパドルをする事ができなくなってしまいました。今回、その点はとても残念でした。しかし、クラスメイト全員で成功をさせよう!という団結力も久しぶりに味わい、なんだかとっても感動いたしました。

また、シュノーケリングの際にはたくさんのお魚をみる事が出来ましたが、ガイドの方がパン?か何かで魚に餌付けをしていたので、野生のイルカや野生のウミガメなどにこだわっていたのならば、
そこも野生にこだわって欲しかったなぁと思います。
ですが、今回の名門イルカ大学さんのツアーは
全体的にとても楽しく、目当てのイルカにもしっかりと遭遇する事が出来たため、
とても満足しています。

Dolphin Tour Dolphin Junior High イルカツアー イルカ中学

Reviewed by: ミユキ

On the second day of arriving in Hawaii, I finally went on the long-awaited dolphin tour. Swimming with dolphins has been my dream since I was young. I boarded the yellow school bus of Dolphin Academy and went to meet the dolphins. The blue sky and blue sea of Hawaii provided a dreamlike experience. It felt as if I were swimming in an aquarium, like being in a painting. The color of the sea was wonderfully clear, leaving me speechless. I was able to feel a sense of unity with the beautiful dolphins that I love so much.

The tour was set up like a school, and even though it was only half a day, I felt like a student again. Our guide, Minako, was full of smiles and explained everything clearly, creating a fantastic classroom atmosphere from start to finish. Next, I am considering participating in the Manta University on the Big Island. Thank you for providing such a valuable experience.

At the end, I did get a bit seasick, but I appreciate how kind everyone was. I recommend that those who are not confident about seasickness bring motion sickness medication. It would be a shame for such a precious time to be ruined... *sigh*

ハワイに到着し2日目 待ちに待ったイルカツアー
昔からイルカと泳ぐのが私の夢。
いざ、イルカ中学の黄色いスクールバスに乗り込み
イルカに会いに行ってきました。
ハワイの青い空に青い海
夢のような体験ができました。
まるで絵画の世界にいるような、水族館の中を泳いでいるかのよう。海の色も素晴らしく透明で、言葉になりません。
イルカの美しさ 大好きなイルカと
一体感を感じる事ができました。
ツアーの設定も、学校のようで、半日でしたが、学生に戻れました。ガイドのミナコさんも笑顔が満開で、話が分かりやすく、最初から最後まで
教室の雰囲気は最高でした。
次は、ハワイ島のマンタ大学に是非参加してみたいと考えています。大変貴重な体験をさせて頂き
ありがとうございました。
また、最後は船酔いになりましたが、皆さん優しく接して頂いて感謝しています。
船酔いに自信の無い方は、酔い止めを持参される事をお勧めします。せっかくの貴重な時間が、残念な事になってしまいます、、、苦笑

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ!子供達も喜びますし!時間もそんなにかからないので。

Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.

We are very pleased that you were able to enjoy the underwater scenery of Hawaii with your child. The submarine boarding area is located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, which is convenient for transportation, and I believe it is a tour that you can easily join even amidst a busy schedule.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>

Interaction with dolphins! イルカとの触れ合い!

Reviewed by: sakura

We decided to go to Sea Life Park because my 6-year-old daughter expressed her wish to meet dolphins. Since it was a special opportunity, we participated with 10 family members.

It was unfortunate that my daughter was not old enough to join the program to swim with the dolphins, but she was really happy to interact with them. We purchased all three photos of her, and they are displayed at home. She happily says, "I got to shake hands with the dolphin and even gave it a kiss!" Both children and adults had a wonderful time, and we were very satisfied.

However, there was one point of concern.

I had read on the website that DVDs could also be purchased, so I planned to buy one. But when we went to the photo area, we were told that there were no DVDs available. Was a reservation required for the DVD in advance? I received explanations in Japanese on-site, and while they mentioned the photos, there was no explanation about the DVDs. Therefore, I assumed it was similar to the photos, where those who wanted them could purchase them. Since the DVD was something my child was looking forward to the most on this trip, it was disappointing that we couldn't buy it.

6歳の娘の「イルカに会いたい」との希望で、シーライフパークに行くことに。
せっかくの機会だからと、親族10名で参加しました。

イルカと一緒に泳ぐプログラムは、まだ年齢が満たなかったのが残念でしたが、
娘はイルカと触れ合えたことが本当に嬉しかったようです。
写真も娘のものは、3カット全て購入し、家で飾っています。
「イルカさんと握手♪チュもできたの~」といいながら嬉しそうに見ています。
子供も大人も、とっても素敵な時間を過ごすことができて、大満足でした。

ですが、気になった点が1つほど。

こちらのサイトで、DVDも購入できるように書いてあったので、それも購入予定
でいたのですが、写真のところに行ってみると、DVDはないとの返事でした。
DVDは先に予約などが必要だったのでしょうか?
現地で日本語で説明を受けたのですが、写真のことは言っておられましたが、
DVDのことは何も説明はありませんでした。そのため、写真と同じように、
撮られており、ほしい人が購入するのだと思っていました。
子供が今回の旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだっただけに、DVDが購入でき
なかったのは残念でした。

Cateraman and Snubba dive

Great crew as it was full service. Food and drinks were good and plenty to go around. Water was very clear. We saw a white tip shark, turtle, plenty of colorful fish and an amazing starfish which was like a spider. Ross was our personal Snubba coach and he was top professional. Yes we would do it again.

It was the best time! 最高の時間でした!

Reviewed by: ゅーん

It was the best optional tour I've ever been on! The boat was quite rocky, but I had no issues thanks to taking motion sickness medication the day before and on the day of the tour. It was such an exciting time that I even shouted with my snorkel in my mouth!

今までのどのオプショナルツアーよりも最高でした!船はとても揺れますが、前日の酔い止め+当日の酔い止め服用で問題なしでした。シュノーケルを噛んだまま声を出してしまうくらいエキサイティングな時間でした!

You can interact with dolphins! イルカと触れ合える!

Reviewed by: あんな

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and it was quite cold to enter the pool.
But I really got to touch the dolphins and even kiss and shake hands with them!
I felt like I became the dolphin show lady I dreamed of as a child!
With this cheaper plan, there are only two options for shaking hands and kissing, and you can't swim with the dolphins or have them push you while swimming.
However, there is plenty of time, and since it's a small group, I'm satisfied.
The instructor can speak some Japanese, although it's limited.
The park is small for spending a whole day here, so I think it's a good idea to combine this with other plans.

あいにく天候は雨で、プールに入るのはさすがに寒かったのです。
でも本当にイルカに触れてキスや握手ができました!
小さい頃の夢、イルカショーのお姉さんになれた気分です!
こちらの安価な方のプランでは握手とキスの二種類だけで、イルカと一緒に泳いだり、足を押してもらって泳ぐことはできません。
でも時間は十分ありますし、少人数で出来るので満足です。
インストラクターの方も片言ではありますが、日本語が通じます。
丸一日ここで過ごすには狭い園内ですので、他と合わせてプランを立てるのもいいと思います。

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

Turtles! TURTLES! MORE TURTLES!!!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Kitty

When they say "Turtles Guaranteed", they are not joking. After a quick sail from the harbor to the snorkel (about 15 to 20 minutes) we dived in to see like six or seven large Hawaiian green sea turtles relaxing beneath us. It was absolutely incredible :D

The spot they took us to is this amazing location where turtles like to congregate and chill out while they get their shells cleaned off by schools of fish. Since we went on the morning snorkel, we beat the crowds and got to swim and snorkel leisurely without any fuss.

I didn't think to bring a GoPro or an underwater camera, but if you have one, or can get your hands on one, DO IT! The photo opportunities are amazing. The turtles like to lazily swim around and they are just so photogenic.

Great tour! Can't wait to go again!!!

  • Enjoying the sun while we sail!

Second Time - As GREAT as the first!

Reviewed by: Silas

Ah Man! What an amazing trip. I was a bit weary on the afternoon of since the weather report was not promising any sun. But the sunset was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors that crusted the clouds were just tear jerking. The crew was so friendly and laid back, food was healthy and tasty, beer was cold, the coastline was misty, water dark blue ... it felt so good to be there at that moment. Cheers to Ocean Joy and VELTRA for making this short trip back to the islands so much fun.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

The best sunset on Oahu!

Reviewed by: Lahn Bahn

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!

I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!

The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

Best. Dinner. Snorkel. Sunset. Cruise. EVAR!

I wanted to see the dolphins!! 会いたかったイルカ!!

Reviewed by: ユウスケ

This was my first time participating, and since it was our honeymoon in Hawaii, I decided to join because I heard there was a place to swim with dolphins. I had been to Hawaii a few times before, but this was a special occasion.

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine since childhood, and I was nervous the day before, but once I got on the bus, the powerful staff's stories were so entertaining that my sleepiness and anxiety disappeared!

Since the dolphins are wild, there’s no guarantee you’ll see them, so I was excited as we boarded the boat. Just five minutes after boarding, we suddenly encountered a pod of dolphins. The clear sea and the dolphins swimming together were truly mystical, and I experienced emotions like never before. I was overwhelmed to have this experience three times!

The program was already more than enough, but during the snorkeling afterward, I was able to see many turtles and Hawaiian fish, and I even got to try paddle surfing, which I had always wanted to do. I was very satisfied!

The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! It was impressive how everyone came together for the final hula dance, creating a lively atmosphere.

I want to bring my children here someday! It became a wonderful memory!

今回初めての参加でした、新婚旅行でのハワイ、ハワイには何回かは行っていたのですがイルカと泳げる所があると言うことで新婚旅行だったので初めて参加しようと決めました。
小さい頃からの夢、イルカと泳ぐ事が出来ると前日から緊張していたのですが、バスに入ったらパワフルなスタッフの方の話がとても面白く眠さと緊張も吹き飛びました!!

イルカは野生なので100%出会えるわけではないと言うことでドキドキしながらボートに乗船、乗船してから5分後いきなりイルカに出会える事が出来ました、透き通る海にイルカの群れがなんとも神秘的で今までにない感動を味わいました、それも三回も味わう事が出来て感無量でした。

これまでのプログラムでも充分でしたが、その後のシュノーケルでは亀やハワイの魚と沢山見るとことができ、一度やってみたかったパドルサーフィンにもチャレンジ出来て大満足でした!!

ランチのハンバーガーもとてもおいしく!!最後みんなでやるフラダンスで一致団結して盛り上がったのも印象的でした。

子供が出来たら連れていきたいと思います!!とてもよい思い出になりました!
