All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

It's a very good program where you can interact with dolphins. My daughter was also very happy. However, I had a hard time killing time until the bus back. It feels more like a small aquarium aside from the dolphins. It might be better to arrange your own transportation.

イルカと触れ合いができる非常に良いプログラムです。
娘も大喜びでした。 ただ、帰路のバスまでの時間を潰すのに難儀しました。 イルカ以外は小規模な水族園というかんじですので。
足は自分で手配しても良いかもしれません。

Excellent Experience even thought I couldn't enjoy it due to pressure in my ears. However I heard it was an excellent experience from my husband.

I previously went on a whale watching cruise in Australia, where I was able to see various jumps up close, so I thought, "Let's experience that excitement again," and decided to participate. The boat was stable, and I didn't feel much rocking.

They communicated the direction of the whales using a clock reference, which I thought was a clear way to express it, but we weren't able to encounter any whales for a while. After quite a bit of traveling, we finally spotted a spout in the distance, and everyone cheered, focusing their attention on that point, but it seemed to dive and we heard nothing afterward.

After running for a while longer, we saw another spout at a similar distance. It felt like the whales were escaping whenever we tried to get closer. Another whale was spotted in a different direction, raising everyone's hopes, but it was just a spout again. I think we saw a little bit of its back, but it was far from being an emotional experience.

Since we were running off Diamond Head, it felt more like a tour of viewing Diamond Head from the sea. When I spoke with others who participated, they mentioned that they had seen whales during a dolphin swimming tour the day before, and they even jumped. It seems that even this level of encounter counts as an encounter, but it didn't qualify for the statement, "If you do not encounter a whale, we will issue a pass for a free re-boarding of the whale watching cruise."

以前、オーストラリアでホエールウォッチングクルーズをしたことがあり、いろいろなジャンプを間近で見ることができたので、「感動を再び」と思い、参加しました。
船は安定感があり、揺れはあまり感じられませんでした。
クジラがいた方向を時計で伝えるとのことで、わかりやすい表現でよいなとは思ったものの、クジラとなかなか遭遇できない。
かなり走った後、遠くで潮吹きが見られ、みんなも歓声を上げ、視点が一点に絞られたのですが、潜ってしまったようで音沙汰なし。
またしばらく走ると、同じくらいの距離で潮吹き。
近づこうとすればクジラは逃げていく感じでした。
別の方向に鯨が発見され、みんなの期待も高まったのですが、やはり潮吹き程度。少しだけ背中が見られたかな。
でも、感動とはかけ離れたものでした。
ダイヤモンドヘッド沖を走るので、まるで海からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるツアーのような感じでした。
参加された方とお話をしたところ、昨日のイルカと泳ぐツアーでクジラを見ることができて、ジャンプもしてたとのこと。
この程度の遭遇でも遭遇には変わりないようで、「クジラに遭遇できなかった場合、ホエールウオッチング・クルーズに無料で再乗船できるパスを発行致します。」には該当しませんでした。

It was my first whale watching cruise in Hawaii, and the weather was great. Shortly after heading out to sea, we encountered a mother and calf whale, and we were able to see whales multiple times until the cruise ended. Due to Hawaiian law, we had to maintain a distance from the whales while watching, but there was one moment when a whale appeared right next to the cruise ship, and I was amazed by its impressive size. It was such a sudden appearance that I regretted not being able to take a photo. The cruise ship, the Navatik, was a catamaran, which meant there was little rocking, making for a comfortable cruise. I heard that during the season, whales can also be seen from Waikiki, but being able to see them up close from the cruise ship really allows you to feel the power of the whales. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone planning to go whale watching.

ハワイでの初ホエールウォッチングクルージングでしたが、天気も良く沖に出て間もなく親子くじらと遭遇しクルーズが終了するまで何度もくじらを見ることができました。ハワイの法律でくじらに近づいてはだめとのことで距離を保ってのホエールウォチングでしたが、１回だけクルーズ船のすぐそばにくじらが現れたときは迫力の大きさに感動しました。いきなりの出現でしたので写真がとれなかったのは残念でした。またクルーズ船もナバティック号で双胴船のため揺れも少なく、快適なクルージングでした。シーズン中はワイキキからもくじらが見えるとのことでしたが、やはりクルーズ船で近くで見れるのはくじらの迫力を身近に感じることができて感動します。ホエールウオッチングを予定されている方には、おすすめのクルーズです。

I was able to go whale watching at a closer distance than I imagined! I was able to see not just one whale, but two or three, and the photos turned out great. The explanations and guidance in Japanese were easy to understand, and even the staff who didn't speak Japanese were very friendly and accommodating. The boat was clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views of Hawaii from the sea! It was a very enjoyable cruise, and I was lucky enough to see not only whales but also dolphins. I highly recommend it! ♪

想像以上に近い距離でホエールウォッチングすることができました！
クジラも１頭だけではなく、２頭、３頭見ることができ、写真もばっちりでした。
日本語での説明や案内も分かりやすく、日本語が通じないスタッフの方たちもとってもフレンドリーで対応が良かったです。
船もきれいで、海から見るハワイの風景も満喫することができました！
クジラだけじゃなく、イルカなども運よく見ることができ非常に楽しいクルーズになりました。
おすすめです♪

I ordered a paid cocktail on board, and since I was returning home the next day and didn't have enough US dollars on hand, I requested to pay with my card. The other guests at the same table were immediately asked to sign for their credit cards, but my card was not returned. When I inquired, they asked if all my orders were complete, and after I confirmed they were, they said they would bring it right away, but it never came. Even after prompting again, nothing happened. When I asked a Japanese staff member in Japanese if they were skimming my card, it was returned, but they said, "You should pay with cash or a traveler's check instead of a card," and as they left, they patted my shoulder and said, "This is normal in America. It's different from Japan."

I said I didn't want to pay a tip, but they insisted, "Please give what you feel," and I paid $2 on a $16 order, but I didn't want to return it and pay for the cocktail. I have traveled to mainland America and have been to more than five states. This does not seem normal for America. I was without my card for such a long time, and even after three prompts, all I got was "wait."

I am more disappointed with the poor staff response than not seeing the whales. I would never recommend this to my friends.

船内で有料のカクテルを注文し、翌日が帰国のため手持ちの米ドルが心もとなかったため、カードでの支払いをお願いしました。
すると同じテーブルの他の客はすぐにクレジットカードにサインを求められてましたが、私のカードは戻ってきません。
催促すると全ての注文が終わっているか確認され、終わっていると告げるとすぐに持ってくると言うものの一向に来ません。もう一度催促してもダメ。日本人スタッフに日本語でスキミングでもしているのかと問いただすと、カードは戻って来たものの、「カードではなく現金かトラベラーズチェックで払えばいい」と言い、去り際には「アメリカではこれが普通。日本とは違うのよ」と私の肩を叩いていなくなりました。
チップは払いたくないと言いましたが「お気持ちでください」と請求され、16ドルの注文に2ドル払いましたが、返品してカクテル代も払いたくありませんでした。
アメリカ本土にも旅行したことがあります。五つ以上の州にも行ってます。アメリカの普通とは思えません。それほど長い時間カードを返して貰えず、3度の催促にも「待って」だけでした。
クジラが見えなかったことより、スタッフの対応の悪さにがっかりです。
友達には絶対勧めません。

I visited on December 6, 2013. This time, I was picked up from Ko Olina, so it was very easy with only about a 30-minute ride. It saves about an hour compared to going from Honolulu, so I especially recommend it for those staying in Ko Olina. This tour had about 20 participants, with a wide age range from their 20s to 60s, which made it feel cozy and nice. The guide spoke only in Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable participating. From the port, we took a boat for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach an area where dolphins might be. The boat also passed through stunning scenery, so we could enjoy the views. The captain found a spot where dolphins were likely to be and prepared for snorkeling. After jumping into the water, we encountered a large group of dolphins just one minute later! There were about 20 dolphins gracefully swimming slowly about 7 to 8 meters away. I was surprised at how quickly we found them! After the group moved away, we returned to the boat and headed to the next spot. The second encounter was amazing, with a group of 30 to 40 dolphins. Furthermore, the dolphins came up close, just about 3 meters away. I could even hear their sounds, and it truly felt like we were swimming together. I recommend this experience for families, couples, and friends. The guide mentioned that encounters like this happen only about twice a year...

２０１３年１２月６日に行ってきました。今回はコオリナからのピックアップでしたので、片道３０分程でとても楽々でした。ホノルルから行くより１時間くらいは時間短縮出来るので、コオリナの宿泊の方は特にお勧めです。今回は２０名ほどのツアーで、年齢層も２０代～６０代と幅広くこじんまりした感じで良かったです。ガイドもすべて日本語でとても安心して参加できました。港からは約２０分～３０分ほど船に乗り、イルカのいそうな場所へ向かいます。この船も絶景を通るので景色も堪能できます。船長がイルカのいそうな現場を見つけシュノーケル準備。海に飛び込み１分後、早速イルカの大群に遭遇！！！推進７～８メートルくらいを２０頭ほどで優雅にゆっくりと泳いでます。こんなにすぐ！という感じでビックリ！一旦群れが去ったので船に戻り、次のスポットへ。２回目が凄く、群れが３０～４０頭。更にはイルカも上昇してきて、距離はわずか３メートルほど。泣き声も聞こえ、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じでした。ご家族やカップルお友達同士、様々な方にお勧めです。※年に２回ほどは遭遇出来ないとガイドさんがおっしゃってました・・・。

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

I participated with two friends. It had been my dream to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, so I had high expectations.

On the day of the tour, our guide, Su-san, was very entertaining, and we had a great time in the car on the way there.

Once we got into the water, it took a while for the dolphins to come close, but we were thrilled to see 5 to 8 dolphins swimming right below our group! It was so exciting! Later, when we moved to swim with the fish, we had fun feeding the beautiful tropical fish. I also saw a turtle swimming very close to me (probably within 1 to 2 meters) as it returned to its underwater habitat! That was also incredibly moving! I didn't see it, but I heard there were sea lions as well.

In addition to the dolphins and turtles, the scenery of the surrounding mountains was stunning. The weather was nice, and the divine, quintessentially Hawaiian landscape was absolutely beautiful.

Although it’s not a cheap tour, given the richness of the experience in just half a day, it was worth every penny! I heard there are tours where you can swim with manta rays on the Big Island, so if I get the chance, I definitely want to go! I had such a great time!

友人と3人で参加しました。以前から、ハワイに行ったらドルフィンスイムをするのが夢だったので期待大でした。

当日は、ガイドのすーさんが非常に面白く行きの車の中から楽しかったです。

海に入ってからはなかなかそばにイルカが来てくれなかったのですが、何と、自分たちのグループの真下をスーと5～8匹のイルカが泳いで行ったのを見れました！！大興奮！！
その後移動してお魚たちと泳いだ時も、綺麗な熱帯魚？たちに餌をあげれて楽しかったです。亀も自分のすぐ近く（たぶん1～2メートル範囲）をスーと泳いで、水中のすみか？に帰って行くのを見れました！これも大感動！私は見れなかったですが、アシカもいたとか。
また、イルカや亀だけではなく周辺の山側の景色も素晴らしかったです。天気が良かったこともあり、神々しくハワイらしい景色が非常に良かったです。

決して安いツアーでは無いですが、半日でこの充実ぶりなら惜しくない！！
ハワイ島ではマンタと泳げるツアーもあるとのことでしたので機会があれば絶対行きたいです。本当に楽しかった！！

My favorite experience while in Hawaii. You get a boat ride, amazing scenery, great staff, its fun, and you also snorkel. They also take lots of pics for you ! Highly recommended. Dont miss out!

Since I participated from Kailua, I headed to the location without a shuttle. There is no tour desk at the site, so be careful as the meeting point is at a specific location. (I ended up going to the tour desk of another tour company.)

Since I used the second boat, we were able to use the large boat from Dolphin University, which was lucky because I got to eat a cheeseburger on the way back. The boat from Dolphin Junior High looked quite small, so that was good, but my friend got seasick and was throwing up, so it's best for those who get motion sickness to take medication before boarding. I also rented a wetsuit for $10. It serves as sunscreen and helps you float to some extent without a life jacket, so I recommend it.

We saw a lot of dolphins on the way to the point. I was excited to see baby dolphins jumping and being quite friendly. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any sea turtles at the point, but we enjoyed snorkeling there. The local staff were fishing.

It was a shame that there was no photographer accompanying us this time, so we didn't have any photos. It seems that a photographer doesn't accompany every trip, so it's a good idea to bring a disposable underwater camera for peace of mind. A friend who brought a waterproof camera seemed to have issues because they didn't have a housing for it, and it stopped working partway through. Also, the storage area under the bench isn't completely waterproof, so I think it's better to bring a beach bag that closes, like one made of vinyl.

On the way back, we saw a sea turtle taking a breath, which completed our mission. If you love dolphins, this is definitely an activity you'll enjoy.

カイルアからの参加だったので送迎なしで現地に向かいました。
現地にツアーデスクはなく、ポイント集合なので注意です。
（別のツアー会社のツアーデスクに行ってしまいました）
2便利用だったためか、戻ってきたイルカ大学の大きな船をそのまま使用できる
ことになり、帰りにチーズバーガーも食べられラッキーでした。
船もイルカ中学はかなり小さそうだったので、良かったですが
それでも友人は船酔いして吐きまくっていたので、酔う人は乗船前に
酔い止めを飲んだほうがベストです。
また、10ドルでウェットスーツも借りました。
日焼け止めにもなるし、ライフジャケットをつけなくてもある程度浮くのでオススメです。

イルカはポイントに向かう途中から沢山見られました。
赤ちゃんイルカもジャンプしたり、かなり友好的な姿に興奮しました。
ウミガメは残念ながらポイントにいっても発見できなかったのですが
そこではシュノーケルを楽しみました。
ロコのスタッフは魚を釣ってました。

今回、カメラマンが同行しなかったので写真が無くて残念でした。
毎回同行するわけではないようなので、使い捨ての水中カメラは持って行ったほうが安心です。防水カメラを持っていった友人はハウスをつけていなかったためか、途中で動かなくなってしまったようでした。
また、荷物入れはベンチの下で完全に防水なわけではないのでビニール製などの口が閉じるビーチバックを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

帰りがけに息継ぎをするウミガメも見られてミッションコンプリートとなりました。
イルカが好きなら絶対楽しめるアクティビティですね。

Superb experience, i recommend to all. Also to those who cannot dive and are afraid in to be in the close enviroment. You feel like in the airplane. Great speak of guide, wonderful view.

We went to Sea Life Park as a family, and I participated in the Dolphin Encounter with my niece. The activity was explained in Japanese, so it's reassuring for those who don't understand English! It's definitely smoother to participate in the activities if you wear a swimsuit. The water in the dolphin pool was a bit cold, but I guess that's to match the dolphins' temperature. For adults, the water was up to the waist, but my niece was submerged up to her shoulders, so she looked cold the whole time. It's a rare experience to get so close to dolphins, so I think it was a valuable experience. The kids were thrilled! Even family members who just came to watch could walk around the park and see the dolphin and sea lion shows, so they wouldn't get bored. The park isn't too large, so it's manageable even with children.

Most of the visitors were families with kids. There weren't too many people, so you can enjoy the shows without needing to secure seats in advance. The view from Sea Life Park is also fantastic, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of being in Hawaii! The price of the photos is a bit high, but I purchased them as a keepsake.

I highly recommend this valuable experience of interacting with dolphins and other animals under the wonderful blue sky of Hawaii!

家族でシーライフパークに行き、ドルフィン・エンカウンターには姪っ子と参加しました。アクティビティの説明は日本語であったので英語が分からなくても安心です！水着は必ず着ていった方がスムーズにアクティビティに参加できます。イルカのプールの水が少々冷たかったですが。。。いるかの温度に合わせているのなら仕方ないですね。大人は腰くらいですが姪っ子は肩までつかってしまうので終始寒そうでした。あんなにイルカに近づける体験ができることは滅多にないことなので貴重な体験ができたと思います。子供は大喜びです！見学に来てただけの家族も園内を回ったり、イルカやアシカのショーを見ることができるので飽きずに済むと思います。園内がそこまで広くないので子供連れでも疲れずに回れます。
ほとんどのお客さんが子供連れの方でした。人もそこまで多くないのでショーの席を取る必要もなくゆっくり見学できます。シーライフパークからの眺めも素晴らしいのでハワイにいるな～という雰囲気を味わえますよ！写真の価格は少し高いですが記念になるので購入しました。
ハワイの素晴らしい青空の下、イルカや他の動物と触れ合える貴重な体験を皆様にお勧めします！

I wasn't sure where or how to pick up the commemorative photos we took, so I couldn't get them. Is it possible to have them sent to my home? I haven't received any emails from the tour company regarding this, so could you please inquire about it?

記念写真撮ったものをどこにどうやって取りに行けばいいのか分からずに手に入らなかったのですが自宅郵送で送ってもらうのは可能でしょうか？
催行会社からそれに関するメールが来ないので問い合わせて頂けないでしょうか？

I came to Hawaii for my son's wedding.
I was scheduled to participate in Dolphin University, but I was transferred to the university due to boat maintenance.
Lucky!!
I got to see a lot of dolphins!!
My son and his wife participated in the tour the next day and they said they saw dolphins and whales.

Dolphin University, November 2, 2nd trip.

息子の結婚式でハワイに来ました。
イルカ中学に参加予定でしたが船のメンテナンスのため大学に編入されました。
ラッキー!!
いっぱいイルカを見れました!!
息子夫婦は翌日のツアーに参加しイルカとクジラが見れたそうです。

イルカ大学　11月2日　2便

I had to give this a 3 star rating to get it to post. My earlier one star rating wouldn't post and my comments were sent to the tour operator for comment. Each issue that I raised the company flat out lied about. As indicated in a prior review, it was disappointing that the scooters had to be moved around by the divers, they are not in working order to be moved under their own power. It looked like they were broken or missing engine parts. I loved the concept, the crew was fantastic and I would have said it was OK, but given that the event is not as advertised and that Bob's Underwater Scooter Adventure management flat out lied I would then question the safety of the event. False advertising. One star.

I participated in the encounter with my child. The dolphins we saw up close were cuter than I expected, and my child was thrilled. It was a wonderful experience for us. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you for the fun tour.

エンカウンターに子供と参加しました。
近くで見るイルカは思っていた以上に可愛く、子供も大喜び。
とても良い経験をさせてあげることができました。
また次回も参加したいと思います。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

This was my second time participating. You can enter a pool that is waist-deep and interact with dolphins, so many families with children join in. I think it's a valuable activity that you can't experience elsewhere. I highly recommend it.

二回目の参加でした。
腰あたりまでのプールに入って、イルカと触れ合うことができるので、お子さんとの参加も多いです。
他では体験できない貴重なアクティビティだと思います。オススメです。

The pick-up was on time, and thanks to the polite explanations from the Japanese staff, I was able to enjoy interacting with the dolphins without any issues in English. It was a very fun and rare experience that you can't have in Japan, where I got to be pulled by the dolphins, stroke their bellies, and give them kisses. I thought it would smell more like fish, but it didn't at all. Before the program started, it was amusing to see the curious dolphins glancing over to observe today's participants. The Sea Life Park isn't a large facility, but it was enjoyable to watch the dolphins practicing their tricks even after the program ended.

時間通りに送迎もして頂き、日本人スタッフの方の丁寧なご説明があったので、実際にイルカとふれあうときのスタッフが英語でも問題なく楽しむことができました。
イルカに引っ張ってもらったり、おなかをなでたり、キスしたり、とても楽しく日本ではできない貴重な体験でした。
もっとお魚のにおいがするかと思っていたのですが、全くでした。
プログラムが始まる前、好奇心旺盛なイルカさんたちが今日のメンバーを横目でチラチラ観察しにくるのがおもしろかったです。
シーライフパークは大きな施設ではありませんが、プログラムが終わったあとも、芸を練習中のイルカさんの見放題で楽しかったです。

I was able to see so many dolphins! It seems to be the season when baby dolphins are around, and their cuddly appearance was adorable. When I was snorkeling and lost track of where they were, the staff on the boat pointed them out, so I could find them right away. I also got to see a rare seal, which made it a very lucky day.

I'm glad I rented a wetsuit. With it, I could float without a life jacket, and since it got colder, I think it was essential. The staff really made an effort to show us many dolphins, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling time. I had a great time!!

本当にたくさんのイルカを見ることができました!
ちょうど赤ちゃんイルカがいる時期らしく、一緒にくっついている
姿がかわいかったです。シュノーケルで潜っているときに、どこにいるか
見失っても、ボートからスタッフの方が、あっちだと指さしてくれるので
すぐに見つけることができました。珍しいアザラシも見ることができ
とてもラッキーな日だったと思います。
ウエットスーツはやっぱり借りてよかったです。
あればライフジャケットなしでも浮いていられるし、だんだん寒く
なってくるので、必須だと思いました。
スタッフのみなさんが、イルカたちをたくさん見せようとしてくれて
とても充実した時間になりました。楽しかったです!!

it was good. not wow but it should be done with any visit to hawaii

I'm glad I chose this place, even though there were many similar activities available. After just five minutes on the boat, I was able to swim with the dolphins, and I also had the chance to watch them swim alongside the boat for a while, which was very satisfying. I was also able to see the turtles up close. It would be even better if they could sell only the photos that include us.

似たようなアクティブたくさんありましたが、ここにしてよかったと思います。
イルカは船に乗って5分後には一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、そのあとも船の横を並んで泳ぐのをじっくり見れたりと、とても満足出来ました。
亀もじっくり見ることができました。
写真は自分たちの写っているのだけを売っていただけると、なおいいかと。

If you want to see sharks up close, this is the place to be. Up on the North shore, wich in my opinion is the nicest part of the island. My brother and I had a great time. I still can't believe how big the sharks were. Crew was great !

I was able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat!
There were baby dolphins doing spinning jumps everywhere. Even when I watched the video later, I was very moved.

Next was snorkeling.
It was my first time snorkeling. On top of that, I can only swim dog paddle, but thanks to the buoyancy, even though my position was unstable, I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and rays in the ocean.
I think those with snorkeling experience or who can swim will enjoy it even more!

ボートからたくさんのイルカたちが見れました‼
あちこちで子イルカ達が回転ジャンプをしていていました。
動画で撮ったものを後から見ても、とても感激します。

次はシュノーケル。
私はシュノーケルは始めて。おまけに泳ぎは犬かきのみですが、浮力で体勢が不安定ながら海の中でもイルカとウミガメ、エイを見る事ができました。
シュノーケル経験者や泳げる方は、もっともっと楽しめると思います

Picked up near the hotel just after 6 AM. It took about an hour to reach the harbor, and during the bus ride, our cute and fun guide, who looked like a half-model, explained various things to us. According to the guide, the weather is starting to get colder, so everyone borrowed wetsuits. This choice turned out to be a good one… it also helps prevent sunburn.

When we arrived at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and set off! Unexpectedly, we encountered a pod of dolphins right away and started snorkeling. It was overwhelming to see wild dolphins up close for the first time… we were really lucky to meet so many dolphins so quickly! The staff were also moved by the experience.

Since we didn’t spend much time searching for dolphins, we had a longer snorkeling session at another location afterward. Here, we were able to see many sea turtles and vibrant tropical fish, which was also amazing! Actually, I was so impressed by the snorkeling on the previous moon tour that this experience felt even more special… (>_<) Even with a decent number of participants, the snorkeling points at Dolphin School are spacious, so it doesn’t feel crowded, and the water clarity and number of fish were significantly better.

There seems to be a full-day Dolphin University tour as well, but I think it was a good choice to go with this one since it’s less physically demanding. It also seemed like there were fewer people here. There were a couple of girls who were down due to seasickness or fatigue, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

A friend who enjoys diving was also impressed. It’s a highly satisfying tour! I recommend it!!

朝６時過ぎに宿泊ホテル近くでピックアップ。
片道１時間くらいかけてハーバーまで向かいましたが、行きのバスの中では
ハーフモデルのような可愛くて楽しいガイドさんがいろいろ解説をしてくれました。
ガイドさんによると、そろそろ寒くなってくる季節とのことで全員がウェットスーツを借りました。
この選択は正解だったなあ…日焼け防止にもなるし。

ハーバーに着くと、ウェットスーツを着て出発！
予想外にもすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇し、シュノーケリング開始。生まれて初めて間近で見る野生のイルカたちに感無量…とってもラッキーだったみたいで、こんなにたくさんのイルカたちにすぐに会えるなんて！とスタッフさんたちも皆感動。

イルカ探しに時間がかからなかったので、その後の別の場所でのシュノーケリング時間が長くなりました。
ここでも、沢山のウミガメと鮮やかな熱帯魚を見ることができてまたも感動！
実は、このツアーの前に参加していた月のツアーでのシュノーケリングがあんまりよくなったので感動もひとしおで…(>_<)
イルカ中学は、参加人数がある程度いてもシュノーケリングポイントが広いのでごちゃごちゃしないし、海の透明度も魚の数も格段に上でした。
１日がかりのイルカ大学もあるようですが、結構体力を消耗するのでこちらにしてよかったと思っています。人数もこちらの方が少なそうだし。
船酔いか疲れたのかダウンしていた女の子が２，３人いたので、心配な人は酔い止め薬必須かも。

ダイビングが趣味の友人も感動していました。かなり満足度の高いツアーです(^^)おすすめ！！

I participated with my 1 year and 9 month old son and my family of three.
We had a great time.
I only brought $50 because I wanted to avoid theft.
It was definitely not enough!!
If I wanted to buy photos and videos for the family, I thought I would need at least $100 or a credit card.

1歳9ヶ月の息子と家族3人で参加。
楽しめました。
持ち物に少量のお金とあったので$50だけ持っていきました。（盗難にあうのも嫌だったので）
全然足りません！！
撮ってくれる写真やムービーを家族分買おう思うと、最低$100かクレジットカードは必要だと思いました。

it was a greats experience. At a certain point you have to realize that you have real sharks around you. This is something that I will definitely try again at my next visit in the area? be aware that the sea is not all the time calm and waves can bring you a different experience... Gravel could be mandatory
A must to do... Great

There were a lot of dolphins, and I was able to see sea turtles and go whale watching too! I was truly moved when I got to swim with the dolphins.

イルカもいっぱいいて、ウミガメも見られたし、ホエールウォッチングもできました！本当にイルカと泳げたときは感動しました。

I joined the tour just to pass the time, but it was the most moving experience. As a diver, I've explored many seas, but I've never encountered so many dolphins and sea turtles.

暇つぶしで参加したツアーですが一番感動しました。私はダイバーなので色んな海を潜りましたが、こんなたくさんのイルカや海亀に出会えたことがありません。

It was pretty cool being in submarine, but we were a little disappointed in how many fish and marine life we saw. I guess that's due to luck. But nonetheless still a pretty cool activity.
