We were able to see a pod of dolphins right after departing on the boat. The baby dolphin and the mother dolphin were really cute. It was my first time snorkeling, so I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to enjoy it. Also, the sea turtles were large, which surprised me. The clarity of the water was amazing, and it was really beautiful. The sight of fish swimming attached to the shell of the sea turtle was truly stunning.

Unfortunately...!! 残念ながら、、、！！

Reviewed by: アイボ

I participated in a spiritual tour.

After about an hour's drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the dock where we were each given a snorkeling set and a life jacket.

From there, we transferred to a boat that could hold about a dozen people, but when I went, it was full, and my husband was instructed to sit on the edge of the boat (laughs).

And off we went! The Hawaiian breeze felt wonderful, and I was in the mood of "Hawaii is the best~☆".

We sped to the spot where dolphins had appeared the day before, but there were no dolphins there... After moving around for a while without seeing any dolphins, we decided to look for sea turtles first and went snorkeling.

There were so many sea turtles! We were able to see about three at once, and it was amazing.

After that, we searched for dolphins again, but no matter where we went, we couldn't find any (tears).

Since we didn't see any dolphins today, we unfortunately had to return to the dock...

I was really disappointed. I wanted to swim with the dolphins.

When we were leaving, a staff member said, "I'm sorry you couldn't see any dolphins," but since they are living creatures, it can't be helped.

This became the theme for my next trip to Hawaii.

As everyone says, it gets quite cold after being in the water and then getting back on the boat, so I think it would be good to bring something like a windbreaker.

That concludes my experience of not seeing the dolphins.

スピリチュアルツアーに参加しました。

ワイキキから車で1時間ほどしたところから船着場に到着すると、それぞれにシュノーケリングセットとライフジャケットを配られます。

そこから１０数名程度乗れるボートに乗り換えますが、
私が行ったときは満員で、旦那はボートのヘリに座るように指示されていました（笑

そこから出発です！ハワイの風が心地よくて、「ハワイ最高~☆」ってな気分です。

昨日イルカが現れたというポイントまで船を走らせますが、そこにはイルカおらず。。
しばらくあっちへこっちへ移動してもイルカがいなかったので、先に海がめを見ようということになり、シュノーケリングをしました。

海がめいっぱいいました。３匹くらいいっぺんに見ることができて、感激でした。

そこからまたイルカを探すのですが、行けど行けどイルカが見つからず（涙

今日はイルカは見られなかったとのことで、残念ながら船着場に戻ることになりました。。

本当に残念です。私もイルカと泳ぎたかったー。

帰るときにスタッフの人に「イルカに会えなくてごめんね」と言われましたが、生き物なので致し方ないですね。

次のハワイのテーマになりました。


皆さんが言うように、水につかった後に船に乗るとかなり寒いので、ウィンドブレーカーみたいなのを持っていくとよいなと思いました。


以上、見れなかった場合の体験談でした。

I had a great time.
There were large groups of dolphins swimming so close that I felt I could touch them.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I was amazed.
There were also many colorful fish, which was mystical.
I felt very relaxed.
At first, I was quite anxious since it was my first time doing something like this, but the staff were all friendly and answered any questions I had, which made me feel at ease.
It was a very enjoyable day, and I would love to go again whenever I have the time!

You have a list called "10 things to do before I die" and you've just marked one thing as 'done' - this is what this tour feels like. Do it, and you won't regret. Just don't forget a pill of Bonine and waterproof camera with a long strap that you can put around your neck. If your camera is not waterproof, take it anyway, because you can take great pictures even from the boat.

Just one word: wonderful! すばらしいの一言☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Recently, my wife and I participated in a dolphin watching tour. We've been on several tours before, but this one was exceptional. First of all, it was a small group (only nine people), and the staff were very kind.

We were lucky that day; within about 3 to 4 minutes of boarding the boat, we encountered dolphins! There were no other tour groups around, and we got to enjoy the sight of 30 to 40 dolphins all to ourselves! The dolphins were swimming in circles in the same area, allowing us to get close multiple times. It was truly moving.

After the dolphin snorkeling, I thought that was the end, but we changed locations for snorkeling with turtles. This was also an incredible experience. Even if you don't get to see dolphins, I believe it's still worth it. Since it's a nature-based tour, there's no guarantee of seeing dolphins, but I recommend trusting your luck and giving it a try.

The sea might be a bit cold, so I suggest wearing a rash guard and bringing a jacket that you don't mind getting wet for the boat ride.

先日、嫁と二人で参加。今までいくつかイルカウォッチングツアーに参加して来ましたが、別格でした。まず少人数制で（今回は９名）スタッフがとても親切。
この日は運が良かったのか、日頃の行いがいいからか、船に乗って約３~４分ですぐにイルカと遭遇！まわりに他のツアーの人もいなくて、３０~４０頭のイルカを９名で独占！イルカ達は同じ当りをぐるぐる回って泳いでいて、何度も接近することが出来ました。感動です。
また、イルカとのシュノーケンリングが終わり、おしまいかなと思ったら、ポイントを変えて亀とのシュノーケリング。
こちらでも又感動。もしイルカにあえなくても十分価値があると思います。自然相手のツアーなのでイルカと合えるかどうかは、100％ではないと思うけど、日頃の行いを信じ是非参加してみては･･･お薦めです。
若干海が冷たいかもしれないので、ラッシュなど着て、船で羽織れるパーカーなど濡れても良いものを持っていくことをお薦めします。

So many memories! So many dolphins!! 思い出いっぱい！イルカさんいっぱい！！

Reviewed by: ALOHAのOHANA

The dolphin tour with Dolphin Hawaii is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it!!

I have participated in dolphin tours with other companies multiple times, but this was the first time I was able to swim so leisurely with the dolphins. Since it’s a small group, we were able to take our time. Thanks to that, I could swim among the pod of dolphins and felt like I was included with them. It was truly moving—an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. Moreover, I was so happy to hear the dolphins' chatter with my own ears.

Also, the staff member, Yuriko, is wonderful and can communicate with the dolphins, which might be why we encountered so many of them.

The captain and staff are attentive, providing an excellent sense of privacy and safety. Everyone is kind, and their Japanese is great, making our conversations very enjoyable.

Oh, and the snorkeling gear and the boat were clean and well-maintained.

By the way, I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel sick at all! The boat rides like it's jumping over the waves, making it feel like an attraction, which was so much fun.

They also provided a bag with snacks like donuts, treats, and water at the beginning, so it was nice to eat whenever I wanted without worrying.

Of course, the tour is not just about swimming with dolphins; you also get to experience honu (turtles), tropical fish, crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, and the warmth of the locals. I truly recommend it!

I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you so much, Yuriko!!!

もう、イルカハワイさんのツアーは最高です！
絶対オススメです！！

他社のイルカツアーに何度も参加しておりますが、こんなにもイルカさんとゆっくり泳げたのは初めてでした。
少人数制なので、時間をゆっくりとって頂けました。
おかげさまで、イルカさんの群れの中で一緒に泳ぐことができ、仲間に入れてもらえた感じを味わうことができました。
もう感動の一言です。一生の思い出です。
しかも、イルカさんのおしゃべりを自分の耳で聞くことができ、とても幸せでした。
また、スタッフのYURIKOさんはイルカさんとコミュニケーションがとれる素敵な方なので、たくさんのイルカさんに出逢うことができたのかもしれません。

船長さんやスタッフさんの目が行き届いていて、プライベート感・安心感は抜群です。
みなさん親切だし、日本語も上手で会話もとっても楽しませて頂きました。

あっ、シュノーケリングの道具やボートなども綺麗で、清潔感がありましたよ。

そうそう、船酔いする私ですが、全然酔いませんでした！
ボートが波の上をジャンプするように走るので、アトラクションのようでとっても楽しかったです。

軽食はドーナッツやお菓子、お水などセットされたバッグを最初に渡して下さるので、気にせず好きなときに食べられるのもよかったです。

もちろん、イルカさんと泳ぐ以外にもホヌ（亀さん）やトロピカルなお魚さん、透明度の高い海、雄大な山々、ロコの温かさに触れることができるツアーで、本当にオススメです！

また、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

YURIKOさん、本当にありがとうーーーーーーーーー！！！

I was also able to swim close to a sea turtle, which was cuter than I expected, and I completely fell in love with sea turtles. It was so adorable when it popped its head out of the water to breathe. I definitely want to participate again!

今回は一人での参加でしたが、スタッフを始めツアー参加者皆さん、とてもフレンドリーで本当に楽しかったです。

It was a dream-like experience! 夢の様な時間でした！

Reviewed by: aloalo

If you want to swim slowly with dolphins, this is definitely the place to go!! I have participated in many other companies' wild dolphin swimming tours, but this is the first time I was able to swim leisurely with dolphins to my heart's content☆ When I was among the pod of dolphins, it truly felt like a dream. Even when the dolphins swam away, we didn’t chase them; instead, we waited for them to come back♪ The dolphins came back to us multiple times. That was probably thanks to our guide, Yuriko. Yuriko is such a fascinating person. She swims with the dolphins as if she is having a conversation with them, and it seems the dolphins enjoy swimming with her too. The other staff members were marine biologists, so they were very knowledgeable about marine life. And their Japanese was excellent! They made our conversations enjoyable.

And of course, it’s not just about the dolphins. They also take you to the Dragon Palace. Initially, we went to the waters of Makaha, but the day we went, the waves were high and the visibility wasn’t great. So, they changed the destination. They said there weren’t many waves near the power plant, so we headed there instead. As promised, it was a beautiful spot where we could see plenty of fish and even swim with turtles. It was nice that they adjusted to the situation like that.

On the way back, we encountered another pod of dolphins. This time, we leisurely watched the dolphins from the boat. The dolphins showcased their signature jumps.

It was truly a fulfilling experience.

Lastly, I usually get seasick, but I was fine on this boat! It was very fast and felt like gliding over the waves. It was so much fun, like being on an amusement ride!

イルカとゆっくり泳ぎたいのなら、断然ココです！！
今まで何度も他社の野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しましたが、あんなにもゆっくり思う存分イルカと一緒に泳いだのはココがはじめてです☆
イルカの群れの中にいるときは、本当に夢の様な時間でした。
イルカが行ってしまっても無理に追いかけたりせず、またイルカが帰ってくるのを待っています♪イルカ達は何度も私達の元に来てくれました。
それはきっとガイドのＹｕｒｉｋｏさんがいたからじゃないかな。Ｙｕｒｉｋｏさんはとっても不思議な人。
まるでイルカと会話しているように楽しそうにイルカ達と一緒に泳ぎます。イルカ達もＹｕｒｉｋｏさんと一緒に泳ぐのが楽しいのでしょうね。
他のスタッフさんも海洋学者ということで、とっても海の生物に詳しかったです。そして日本語がとってもお上手！会話でも楽しませてくれました。
そして、もちろんイルカだけではありません。竜宮城へも連れて行ってくれます。はじめはマカハの海へ行ったのですが、私達が行った日は波が高く、透明度があまり良くありませんでした。そしたら、行き先変更。発電所近くは波があまりないということで、そちらの方へ行きました。話の通り、とっても綺麗な場所で、お魚もたくさん見れましたし、カメさんとも一緒に泳ぐことができました。
こんな風に状況に合わせて対応してくれるところも嬉しいですね。
帰りには、またイルカの群れに遭遇。今度はボートの上からのんびりイルカを眺めました。お得意のジャンプをたくさん披露してくれたイルカ。

本当に心満たされた時間でした。

最後に、私はいつも船酔いしてしまうのですが、こちらのボートは大丈夫でしたよ！とっても早くて波の上を滑る感じ。アトラクションに乗っているみたいでとっても楽しかったです！

I take my hat off to the dolphin. イルカちゃんに脱帽

Reviewed by: ヨッシー

Departing directly by bus from the meeting point near the Waikiki accommodation, we enjoyed views of Diamond Head, the Kahala area, Hanauma Bay, and Sandy Beach along the way, arriving in about 30 minutes. There were Japanese staff members near the reception and at various points, which was reassuring.

This time, I participated in the Royal Swim. The program involved being pulled by the dorsal fins of two dolphins and a foot push program, which both seemed challenging and made me anxious about whether I could do it. However, when I waited in the posture that was explained to me beforehand, the dolphins smartly and perfectly coordinated their movements to pull and push me with great balance. It felt like the dolphins were playing with me, and I was once again impressed by their intelligence.

On the way back, the photos and DVD from today's interaction were a bit pricey, but they turned out great and serve as a wonderful keepsake. I think opportunities to interact with dolphins like this are rare in Japan, so I absolutely recommend experiencing it.

Reviewed by: Nori

I went to the Royal Swim without transportation provided. There was no problem just handing over the voucher. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but it seemed the sun was strong. The dolphin-related facility requires a separate check-in, and while the counter and the explanatory video are available in Japanese, the instructions from the instructor in the pool are only in English.

I brought a waterproof camera, but it was not allowed in the pool. However, there was hardly any time to take photos as we were continuously engaged in activities. You can enjoy being pushed by the dolphins and holding onto their dorsal fins. The park staff takes photos of four different poses and also records videos at the same time. You can purchase the photos and DVD about an hour after the attraction ends at the souvenir shop. The DVD costs $49 and includes all participants. (If there are many people, it seems they divide into teams, so this means for that team.) The photos were similarly priced for four images. Overall, it feels more like enjoying the attraction rather than being healed by the dolphins.

Besides loads of sharks we also saw a couple whales. Recommend you bring a water proof camera [taking digital videos and pulling frames for desired stills works best], go early because the water is usually calmer, and go on an empty stomach. The time in the cage went too fast me!

It was a very enjoyable experience! 非常に楽しい体験でした！

Reviewed by: HIDE

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.

There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.

The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.

We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.

Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.

The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.

I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.

2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。

総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。

キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。

ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。

お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。

シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。

ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。

イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。

Amazing!! I participated in the first tour!! 最高！！第一号ツアー参加しちゃいました！！

Reviewed by: NAIA

Last year during my trip to Hawaii, I did a dolphin swim with a different tour. That experience was so wonderful that I wanted to do it again this year, so I searched for a tour and found this incredibly affordable one, which I decided to join. Honestly, I was worried about the quality compared to the previous tour since it was much cheaper, but... those worries were completely unnecessary (laughs). On the contrary, it was so much better than the previous tour!! Anyway, the time spent swimming with the dolphins was long!! As a huge dolphin lover, this was the most delightful aspect for me.

Waianae, located at the western tip of Oahu, is about an hour's drive from Waikiki and is a truly quiet and beautiful place with untouched nature and few tourists. Along the way, we were shown some small sightseeing spots, so it wasn't boring at all. Moreover, the hotel pickup time was about an hour later than the previous tour, making the morning much easier. But the content of the tour was more fulfilling than the previous one. The warm hospitality from the local staff, including our tour guide Yuriko, who speaks Japanese well, was truly healing. There was also a professional photographer who took pictures during the tour, and we could buy those photos later, making it perfect for creating memories.

Maybe it was a lucky day, but we encountered a pod of over 100 dolphins, and there were dolphins everywhere we looked!! I was so excited, it was overwhelming!! Dolphins were jumping all around!! There were also many baby dolphins swimming closely with their mothers, which was incredibly cute!! I couldn't get enough!! They also took us to a sea turtle spot, and I was able to touch a turtle for the first time. And it happened twice!! Furthermore, on the way back to the harbor, we encountered a whale that should have already returned to Alaska!! It was truly an exciting tour. According to the staff, they are planning one-day and one-week tours, so I'm really looking forward to participating again next time. For a first tour, it was unbelievably wonderful. I have no intention of trying other tours in the future!! I want to join this tour again next year. I'm really grateful to all the staff who warmly welcomed me, a solo participant who was feeling anxious!! Thank you very much!! Since it's a special occasion, I'll attach a photo of the mother and baby dolphins from that time. They're just too cute!

　去年のハワイ旅行の時に、別のツアーですがドルフィンスイムをしました。その体験が素晴らしかったので、今年もやりたくてツアーを探したところ、とってもお値打ちなこのツアーを見つけて参加を決めました。正直、以前のツアーに比べてかなりお値打ちのため、どんな内容なのかを心配をしていましたが・・・その心配はまったく無駄なものでした（笑）。それどころか、以前参加したツアーとは比べ物にならないくらい素晴らしいものでした！！とにかく、イルカと一緒に泳げる時間が長い！！大のイルカ好きの私にとっては何よりも嬉しいことです。ワイキキから車で一時間、手付かずの大自然が広がるオアフ島の西の果てのワイアナエという場所は、観光客も少なく本当に静かで美しい場所です。道中もちょっとした観光スポットを教えてもらえたりするので、退屈しません。しかもホテルのピックアップの時間が以前のツアーと比べて一時間ほど遅いのですごく朝が楽です。でも内容は以前のツアーよりも充実していました。ツアーガイドのゆりこさん始め、日本語の上手な地元のスタッフの暖かい対応にも本当に癒されます。ツアーの様子を撮影してくれるプロのカメラマンさんもいて、後からその写真を買うこともできて、思い出作りにはもってこいですね。その日はラッキーデーだったのか、１００頭を超えるイルカの群れに遭遇し、どこを見てもイルカだらけ！！感無量とはこのことだ！！なんて興奮していました（笑）。イルカジャンプもいたるところで炸裂してました！！ベビーイルカもたくさんいて、お母さんイルカと寄り添って泳いでいる姿は本当にキュート！！たまりません！！海亀スポットにも連れて行ってくれて、初めて亀に触ることができました。しかも２回も！！さらに、港への帰り道には、今はもうアラスカに帰ってしまっているはずの鯨と遭遇！！本当にエキサイティングなツアーでした。スタッフの方の話では１日ツアーや１週間ツアーも企画中とのことで、次回の参加が本当に楽しみです。第一号ツアーにしてはできすぎなくらいに本当に素晴らしいものでした。今後は他のツアーには浮気するつもりはありません！！来年もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています。一人参加で不安がっていた私を暖かく迎えてくれたスタッフのみなさんに本当に感謝です！！ありがとうございました！！せっかくなので、そのときの親子イルカの写真を添付します。かわいすぎます

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

whale cruise

Reviewed by: vogels colorado

we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Fantastic!!!

Reviewed by: M & Mrs. M

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

It was canceled once due to poor visibility, but... 1度は、視界不良で中止でしたが

Reviewed by: ナンシー

Just before boarding, the trip was canceled due to poor visibility in the water, which affected the next schedule, but I was able to board the next day. It was my first experience, so I was excited. The boat ride to the submarine, feeling the sea breeze, was enjoyable and refreshing. However, the underwater view was not as clear as I had expected. I had imagined a slightly clearer sea. Overall, I think it's an experience worth trying at least once.

乗船する寸前で海中の視界不良で中止になり、次の

できました。初めての経験でしたのでワクワクでした。
海風を浴びて潜水艦までの船も楽しく、気持ち良かったです。但し、海中は期待したよりきれいに見えませんでした。
もう少し、きれいな海を想像していたのですが。
まあ、全体的には1度は体験してみるべきと思います。

Reviewed by: James P

My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.

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＞

A fulfilling tour full of fun, not just with dolphins! イルカだけじゃない楽しさいっぱいの充実ツアー！

Reviewed by: モンステラ

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!

朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です！！
イルカの群れを１ｍ以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇！　船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード！　また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとＤＶＤで編集して翌日には渡してくれます！　これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります！　ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです！　絶対お勧めのツアーです！　少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です！！
本当に楽しかったです！スタッフの皆さん、マハロ！！！
