All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

Participating in this program has truly created wonderful memories for us. My partner and I took part, and we got to touch dolphins, swim while holding onto their dorsal fins, and even had two dolphins push us with their flippers like Superman...
If you go to Hawaii, this is definitely a must-do!
However, aside from the Dolphin Royal Swim, it might be more suitable for kids...? If you're with adults, I recommend the Royal Swim. We rented a car and drove to Sea Life Park, and the route is easy, with stunning scenery along the way. If you have time on the way back, you can stop by a beach near Sea Life Park, which is fantastic!

　今回このプログラムに参加して本当に良い思いでになりました。彼女とふたりで参加させて頂いたのですがイルかにさわったり、イルカの背びれに捕まって泳いだり、二頭のイルかに足の裏を押されてスーパーマンのように・・・。
　ハワイに行ったら絶対行くべきですね！
　ただドルフィンロイヤルスイム以外はお子さん向けかも・・・？大人同士ならロイヤルスイムがお勧めです。私たちはレンタカーを借りてシーライフパークまで行きましたが、道も簡単ですので途中の景色も素晴らしいですし、帰りも時間がゆるせば、シーライフパーク近くのビーチに寄ったりでき最高ですよ。

It was an experience that can't be seen in Japan.
I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can enjoy it.

日本では見られない体験でした。
小さい子からお年寄りまで十分楽しめると思います。

I love dolphins and even as an adult, I want to see dolphin shows at aquariums many times (laughs).

This time, I traveled to Hawaii with my mother, and since I was in charge of planning the entire trip, I chose the "Royal Swim," which is one of the reasons for going to Hawaii: swimming with dolphins♪

It seems that in Japan, you can interact with dolphins in places like Ogasawara and Hakkeijima, but I don't think you can swim with them holding onto their dorsal fins or have them push you with their bodies. (I apologize if there are places where you can do that...)

The price is indeed on the higher side, and some may hesitate, but I believe you won't regret participating here.

The experience of just playing with dolphins at Hakkeijima is about 8,000 yen for 30 minutes. (By the way, I think payment is by credit card and requires advance reservation. It seems you can participate in programs at Sea Life Park on the same day if there are openings!!)

My mother seemed surprised that we could do such things with dolphins and was excited like a child (laughs).

I was able to touch the dolphins a lot, and I learned that they have belly buttons (laughs). In my session, there were only three participants, including myself, so we might have had more time to interact.

They sell the program content on DVD and photos, and I bought the DVD because I wanted to watch it many times (laughs). I think it was a good decision to purchase it.

At first, I wasn't particularly planning to shop, so I didn't bring the discount coupons from the free papers available in downtown Hawaii, but if you participate as a group, I think you can save money by purchasing DVDs and souvenirs together.

Also, there aren't many attractions in the park, so I spent quite a bit of time waiting after seeing a little before and after the program until the shuttle time (cry). Adults can finish seeing the park in a short time.

As mentioned in other people's experiences, if you want to make effective use of your time, you can either take the bus back or, if you're returning by shuttle, play in the sea in front of Sea Life Park.

I went down to the beach to check out the sea, and after leaving Sea Life Park, I headed straight to the sea, crossed the road, and went down to the beach on the right side, where there was a free shower. The local surfers all used this to rinse off the sand. There was a stone building, but I think it was probably a restroom.

I’ve written a lot, but I hope others participate and enjoy it too!! I think the price is...

私はイルカ大好きで、大人になっても水族館のイルカショーを何回も見に行きたい位です（笑）

今回ハワイは母との旅行で、旅行内容は全て私が決めてよかった為、ハワイに行く目的の1つであるイルカと一緒に泳ぐ『ロイヤルスイム』を選択しました♪

日本でも小笠原や八景島でイルカと触れ合う事は出来るみたいですが、背びれを持って泳いだり、両足をイルカに押してもらったり等は出来ないと思います。（もし出来る場所があったらすみません…）

お値段は確かにお高めで躊躇する方もいるかとは思いますが、こちらは参加して後悔しないと思います。

八景島のイルカと戯れるだけのやつは30分で8千円位です。（ちなみにクレジット決済、事前予約だったと思います。シーライフパークは当日空きがあればプログラムに参加できるみたいです!!）

母もイルカとこんな事が出来るとは思っていなかったみたいで、子供みたくはしゃいでました（笑）

イルカにも沢山触れる事が出来て、おへそがある事も知りました（笑）
私の回は、私も含め参加者が3人だったので触れ合う時間も多かったかもしれません。

プログラムの内容をDVDと写真にして販売しているので、私は何度も見たくて（笑）DVDを購入しました。
購入して正解だったと思います。

初め特に買い物をする気でなかったので、ハワイの街中にあるフリーペーパーの割引クーポンを持ってこなかったのですが、数人で参加する場合はDVDやお土産を皆でまとめて購入すればお安くなると思います。

また、園内はさほど見所がある訳ではないのでプログラムが始まる前と終わって少し見て、送迎の時間まで時間をかなり持て余しました（泣）大人には園内は短時間で見終わってしまいます。


他の方の体験談にもある様に、時間を有効活用するならBUSで帰るか、送迎で帰るならばシーライフパーク正面の海で遊ぶかになると思います。


私は、海をどんなか覗きに浜辺まで降りたのですが、シーライフパークを出てそのまま海に向かい、道路を横断して右手方向の浜辺へ降りて向かう所に、無料のシャワーがありました。現地のサーファー達は皆ここで砂を落としてました。
石の建物がありましたが、たぶんおトイレだと思います。


長々書いてしまいましたが、他の方も参加して楽しんで下さい!!　私はお値段

As soon as we set sail, we spotted a whale, and the cruise began with us following it. It seems that we are not allowed to follow the same whale for a long time, so after about 30 to 40 minutes, we moved away from that whale to search for another one. However, we couldn't find any more after that, but since the cruise was along Waikiki, the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were very beautiful.

出港するとすぐにクジラを発見し、それを追う形でクルーズが始まりました。長い時間同じクジラを追うことは禁止されているそうで、30~40分後、そのクジラを離れて別のクジラを探すことに。　ただ、その後は見つけることができませんでしたが、ワイキキに沿ってクルーズだったので、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの眺めがとても綺麗でした。

Overall my sister and I had a good time.

I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

I cannot begin to say how much fun I had on this cruise. Not only did we get to see whales, and the captain did a great job of getting as close as he could without disturbing them, but the activities and food on-board made the experience just THAT MUCH BETTER! It was a great experience being able to go to the top deck and view the whales and then head down into the ship for a very yummy buffet lunch. Boy were we full after that :) Cannot wait for next year so we can do this again. Two thumbs WAY WAY up!

Thank you to the crew for such an amaaaazing sailing trip!!! I can't say enough about it, sometimes these whale watching tours can be a bit cliche, I've been on a few in my lifetime, but this one surely takes the cake. And whales whales whales! An experience well worth the money and time.

i wish i was lucky enough to live in hawaii its so beautiful and everyone is so nice. haha anyway, this was really an experience ... lots of things to do and eat but spent most of the time whale watching with my kids. we had a great time i recommend it to everyone.

My husband and I travel to Hawaii every year and during our many trips, we have been on countless whale watching tours, but this one definitely stands out from the crowd. Rather than being shuffled onto a huge ship and being an anonymous passenger, being on this catamaran allowed for a much more personal interaction. On top of all this, the ocean was amazing and seeing the the whales was, as always, and amazing and unforgettable experience. When we got home, I told all of our friends and hope that they will be able to make it to Hawaii so they can check out this tour out :)

one of the things my family wanted to do when we went to hawaii was go whale watching since we live hundreds of miles from the ocean, we figured that this would be a great opportunity and boy were we right! the staff did a great job of keeping everyone on board up to date with what was happening with the whales and the cruise was really smooth too.

food was good, staff was nice, great information, couldn't ask for anything more!

This was an amazing experience. The whole family enjoyed it so much, we can't wait to do it again next year.

On the day of the event, I received a notification from the hotel that the meeting time had been moved up, which allowed me to wait with peace of mind. I participated in five activities, but there was no communication regarding the other activities, which often left me feeling anxious, so I was relieved to have this update. Additionally, both Ryuuichi and Akemi, who came to pick us up, were Japanese and naturally spoke Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. The boat ride took about an hour, but along the way, they explained about the house of a famous sumo wrestler and the "What Tree Is That?" tree, making the time fly by.

On the boat, we had photographers Maeda and Merry, along with two other people who joined us, and we set off. The wind was chilly that day, but I was able to rent a wetsuit for $10, so I didn't feel cold while participating. We couldn't find dolphins in the first sea, but there were plenty in the next one. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to find them, but the boat cut through the waves like an attraction, and we even saw whales along the way, which was a quick experience. We were lucky enough to see whales twice.

When we found the dolphins, half of the group was able to swim with them, but the other half couldn't because the dolphins had moved. However, Ryuuichi noticed this and took us back to the location where the dolphins were, allowing the remaining people to swim with them as well. I appreciate Ryuuichi's thoughtfulness! Additionally, the attention to detail from all the staff regarding meals and facilities was excellent, and although my wife couldn't swim, she was able to participate with peace of mind. The dolphins were swimming with children, and they were incredibly cute and soothing. I was also able to see the dolphins up close thanks to Merry pulling me along.

There were other tour boats out as well, but ours was faster, and we coordinated with Dolphin University via radio to find the dolphins, which I believe significantly increased our chances of seeing them, so I highly recommend it! The tour photos cost $70, but they are great keepsakes, and Maeda's photos were wonderful, so I’m glad I bought them.

当日は、集合時間が早まる、との連絡をホテルに連絡いただき、安心して待つことができました。
5つのアクティﾋﾞﾃィに参加しましたが、他のアクティﾋﾞﾃィでは連絡はなく、不安な気持ちで待つ事がおおかったので安心できました。また迎えにきていただいた龍一さんと、あけみさんの二人とも日本の方で、当然日本語を話せる方で、安心できました。ボートまでは1h位でしたが、途中に小錦の家やこの木何の木の説明をしていただき、あっという間でした。またボートでは、写真撮影する前田さんやメリーさん、他にも2名の方も合流して、ボートは出発しました。当日は風が冷たかったのですが、ウェットスーツのンタルを10ドルでできますので、寒さを感じずに参加できました。イルカは最初の海では見つからず、次の海にはたくさんいました。イルカを探すまでにおおよそ1h30mくらいかかりましたが、船がアトラクションのように波を割って進んでいき、また途中に鯨がいて、あっという間でした。鯨は2回ほどみれて、運がよかったです。イルカを見つけ、半分の方はイルカと泳げましたが、残り半分の方はイルカが移動した為、一緒にイルカと泳げませんでしたが、龍一さんがそれに気がついて、もう一度イルカのいる場所に船で移動していただき、残りのか方もイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。龍一さんの気配りに感謝です！また他にも色々と食事とか設備とかすべてのスタッフの方の気配りが行き届いていて、私の家内はおよげませんでしたが、安心して参加できました。イルカは子供と一緒に泳いでいて、非常にかわいらしく、癒されました。私もメリーさんが引っ張ってもらって、すごい身近でイルカを見る事ができました。他にもツアーの船がでていましたが、船のスピードがこちらのほうが早いのと、イルカ大学と無線で連携をとり、イルカを探すので、イルカに見れる確率が非常に高いと思われますので、お勧めです！またツアーの写真は70$しますが、思い出に残りますし、前田さんのとる写真は素晴らしいので、買ってよかったです。

Experience was TRULY AMAZING. I can't swim and have a phobia of being underwater in general but the BOB gave me the opportunity to sit on a scooter and enjoy the wonderful creation that exist under the Pacific Ocean. Price was very reasonable and the instructors were awesome!

I was able to spend a time that felt truly Hawaiian.

ハワイらしい時間をすごせました。

I was unsure because the price was high, but I'm glad I participated since I thought it would be an experience I couldn't have in Japan. I recommend it.

お値段が高かったのでどうしようかと思ったのですが、日本では体験できないだろうと思って参加してよかったです。
お勧めです。

We participated in the Dolphin Royal Swim package with my 8-year-old child who wanted to swim with dolphins. This experience, which includes swimming with dolphins and rays and hugging seals, is something you can't easily do in Japan, and my child says it was the most fun thing in Hawaii. You need to be in deep water, but you wear a life jacket. However, those who can't swim might feel a bit scared. By the way, both my child and I can swim all four strokes, so we might not have felt scared.

Since children need an adult to accompany them, I experienced it alongside my child, so I couldn't take photos and ended up purchasing some, but they turned out to be great close-up shots. I also bought a DVD. You can check the DVD before purchasing, so I recommend going to buy it with some extra time before the meeting time.

イルカと泳ぎたいという子供（８歳）とドルフィンロイヤルスイムパッケージに参加しました。
日本ではなかなか体験できないイルカやエイと泳いだりアシカをだっこしたりと楽しいプランが満載で子供はハワイで一番楽しかったことだといっています。
足のつかないところにいる必要がありますが、ライフジャケットを着用します。ただ、泳げない方はちょっと恐く思うかも。ちなみに子供も私も４泳法全て泳げるので怖く感じなかったのかもしれません。
子供には付き添いが必要なので、私も一緒に体験したため撮影できず写真を購入しましたが、アップでよい写真でした。ＤＶＤも買ってしまいました。
ＤＶＤは確認のため見せてもらえるので集合時間に余裕を持って買いに行かれるといいと思います。

I finally went on the Shark Adventure. There were three groups, including us, but the others seemed cramped as they entered in groups of four at the same time. We had more than enough time, I think it was about 15 to 20 minutes, and they let us stay until we said we were done. Our hands and feet were sticking out of the cage, which added to the tension. The staff handled everything in a calm manner, so those who want to enjoy themselves won't have any issues. I was concerned about seasickness, but I drank two strong ones from Japan, so it wasn't too bad. We drove from Waikiki, and the route was comfortable without getting lost, but on the way back, I was definitely sleepy and tired, so please be careful.

念願のシャークアドベンチャーにいきました。外国の方と我々も含めて３組でしたが、他の方は４人同時に入ったりで狭そうでした。時間は十分すぎるほどあり１５分から２０分くらいだったと思いますが、こちらからもう結構だと言うまでさせてくれます。檻から手足ははみ出るし緊迫感はあります。スタッフは淡々とこなしている感じですので自分たちで楽しむ方は問題ありません。懸念された船酔いも日本から強力なのを２本飲みましたので差ほどではありませんでした。レンタカーでワイキキから行きましたが道も迷うことなく快適でしたが帰りはさすがに眠く疲れますので気をつけてください。

I participated alone this time.

There were also two girls who were joining for the second time since coming to Hawaii.

Once you enter the sea, you are greeted by beautiful tropical fish that delight your eyes.

I could see dolphins jumping from the boat, but it was difficult to see them underwater, and I tried several times.

Thanks to the staff who diligently searched for spots where we could dive and guided us, we were able to see mother-and-baby dolphins and sea turtles.

On the boat, they played the ukulele and sang while we danced, and we had a lot of fun.

The captain was grilling hamburgers for us, but at that time, my stomach was not feeling well, so it took me quite a while to finish my meal. I felt a bit sorry as I was munching away while everyone else started dancing to the music.

All the staff, including Yuriko, were warm and friendly, and since this is an experience you can't easily have in Japan, I highly recommend it.

今回ひとりで参加しました。

ツアーに参加していた方には今回ハワイにきてから２回目の参加、という女の子２人組もいらっしゃいました。

海に入ると、まずきれいな熱帯魚がいて目を楽しませてくれます。

またイルカは飛んでいるところは船からみえたのですが、水中からはなかなか見れなくて、何度かトライしました。

スタッフの方たちも一生懸命、もぐって見られるスポットを探して誘導してくれたおかげで親子のイルカや海亀をみることができました。

また船の上では、ウクレレを弾きながら、歌を歌っていただき、わたしたちは踊り、とても楽しめました。

またパパさんが（船長）ハンバーガーを焼いてそれをいただくのですが、当時胃の調子がとても悪く、完食するのに相当時間をかけてたべたので、みんなが音楽にあわせて踊りはじめたときにも、モグモグ食べながらいたので申し訳ないな、とおもいながらすごしました。

スタッフのみなさんもゆりこさんをはじめ，温かい方たちばかりですし、なにせ日本ではなかなか体験できないのでぜひともおすすめします。

Really neat experience! The view down below was awesome and the crew was helpful and fun. My only complaint was that it didn't last long enough - we could have stayed down all day!

My husband and our son, who will soon be two years old, participated in the Dolphin Encounter. I joined as an observer to film the event. My son was a bit scared and couldn't kiss the dolphin, but he seemed really happy to touch it. It's not often that we can have such an experience in Japan, so it became a wonderful memory. We also got some beautiful photos with the dolphin, and I'm glad we purchased those. I definitely want to participate again when we go to Hawaii.

もうすぐ２歳になる息子と主人がドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。私はビデオ撮影の為見学者で参加しました。息子はイルカとのキスは少し怖がって出来ませんでしたがイルカにタッチはすごく喜んでいた様でした。日本ではなかなかこんな体験は出来ないのですごく良い記念になりました。イルカとの写真も綺麗に撮って頂いてこちらも買って良かったです。またハワイに行くときは是非参加したいです。

I was very worried about participating in the tour since I'm not good at swimming. However, the staff were Japanese, so I didn't have to worry about the language, and they provided thorough support, allowing me to enjoy swimming with the dolphins.

Many dolphins slowly passed beneath me! It was incredibly healing. At the sea turtle spot, I was also able to encounter sea turtles, making it an emotional tour. I'm really glad I mustered the courage to join the tour.

It was a day that made me truly appreciate the wonders of nature. I want to participate in the tour again.

泳ぎが苦手な私にとってツアーに参加前とてもしんぱいでした。しかし、スタッフは日本人で言葉の心配もなく、またスタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、イルカと一緒に楽しく泳ぐことが出来ました。

たくさんのイルカが私の下をゆっくりと通り過ぎ！とっても癒されました。海ガメスポットでは海ガメにも出会うことができ、感動しっぱなしのツアーでした。勇気をふりしぼってツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。

自然の素晴らしさを思い知った1日でした。
またツアーに参加したいです。

It was an incredibly moving day seeing wild dolphins for the first time. I was amazed to see a pod of dolphins swimming close by, and I could even hear their voices underwater and see a baby dolphin, which was another wonderful experience! The staff was friendly, and I received a lunch bag, so I was very satisfied. I think it's a great value tour.

初めて野生のイルカで大感動の1日でした。イルカの群れが間近を泳いでいたのに感動し、海中ではイルカの声、そしてイルカの赤ちゃんまで拝見することができ、またまた感動！
スタッフも親切だし、ランチバッグももらえて大満足でした。とってもお得なツアーだと思います。

I was able to meet dolphins, sea turtles, and colorful fish, which healed both my heart and body. I participated in this tour with some skepticism about whether I would really see dolphins. However, within just 10 minutes of departure, I spotted the fins of several dolphins on the surface of the water! I was very moved.

I gently put my face in the water to avoid startling the dolphins, and I could even hear their voices. The dolphins swam gracefully beneath us. It was a truly precious experience. I now have one more wonderful memory.

イルカ、海がめ、カラフルな魚達に会えて、心も体も癒されました。
イルカに本当に会えるのかと半信半疑で参加したこのツアー。しかし出発して10分も立たないうちに海面に数頭のイルカの背びれを発見！とても感動しました。

イルカを驚かせないようにそっと海へ顔をつけるとイルカの声まで聞くことができました。
イルカは私たちの下を優雅に泳いでいました。
とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
良い思いでが１つ増えました。

This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!

今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time at Sea Life Park. The purpose of our visit this time was the "Dolphin Royal Swim"! Since my 8-year-old daughter met the age and height requirements, we decided to participate despite the somewhat high price, wanting her to have an experience interacting with dolphins that she can't have in Japan. Of course, since she couldn't participate alone, Dad joined her as a companion.

We also had our 5-year-old and 2-year-old with us, so we signed up for a tour without transportation and drove our family of five to Sea Life Park in a rental car. Since we were on the first session, it seemed fine for those driving, but it might be tough for those using the trolley for the first session.

In the session that the two of them participated in, there were no other children besides my daughter. The instructor who took care of them seemed to be Japanese, and there were explanations in Japanese, which my daughter seemed to understand. However, since the pool was deep and they only wore life jackets, I was worried about whether she would be okay. They swam in the pool holding onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins and pushed off the dolphins' noses to swim like "Superman." Water splashing in their faces was inevitable, so as long as they could handle that, I think children can enjoy it. However, since my daughter's feet are small, it seemed difficult for the dolphins to push her feet. They asked her if she wanted to try again after a failure, but she didn't want to retry. Dad, on the other hand, did great! There were also photos and DVDs available for purchase during the activity, which interested participants could check out and buy. It was over in a flash, but my daughter was very excited to have the experience of touching and seeing dolphins up close, something she can't usually do. I hope to let the younger two try it when they get bigger.

ハワイには数回訪れていますが、シーライフパークに行ったのは初めてでした。今回訪れた目的は『ドルフィンロイヤルスイム』！8歳の娘が年齢・身長制限をクリアしたこともあって、お値段は少々お高めですが、日本ではまずできないイルカとのふれあいをさせよう！と参加しました。もちろん娘一人ではまだ参加できないので、パパが同伴者として参加しました。
私たちは他に5歳と2歳の子も一緒だったので、送迎なしのツアーに申し込み、シーライフパークまでは家族5人でレンタカーで行きました。1番目の回だったので、レンタカーなどで行かれるかたは大丈夫のようですが、トロリーなどを使われる方は1番の回は厳しいかもしれません。
2人が参加した回は娘の他には子供はいませんでした。担当してくれたインストラクターの方は日本人のようで、日本語でも説明があり娘も理解できていたようですが、プールは当然足もつかず、ライフジャケットを着用するだけなので、大丈夫か心配でした。2頭のイルカの背びれにつかまってプールを泳いだり、足の裏をイルカの鼻でプッシュして”スーパーマン”のように泳いだり、顔に水がかかることは必至なので、そのあたりがクリアできていれば、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ただ、足の裏をプッシュしてもらうのは娘の足が小さいので、イルカ自身も難しいようです。失敗してもう一度やる？と聞かれていましたが、娘はリトライはしませんでした。パパの方は、バッチリ♪アクティビティ参加中の写真やＤＶＤの販売もあり、希望者は確認して買うこともできます。あっというまでしたが、娘はイルカに触ったり間近で見たり、と普段できない経験ができてとても興奮していました。今度、下の二人が大きくなったらまたやらせてみたいなと思います。

The crew was great and we had a good amount of time to view the sharks (usually I think these activities end too quickly, but I was very happy here). Unfortunately, when I went the waves were really strong and I got bruised and sea sick being tossed around, but I think if the weather was more calm, it would've been really amazing. I would definitely do it again. I do, however, wish that the cage was larger or that they would let no more than 2 people in at a time because there's not that much space to maneuver, and if there are waves you're always running into the other people. The sharks are very graceful and beautiful and do come rather close so that you can get some great visuals, but for those that are afraid, they never come close enough for one to feel unsafe. In fact, they don't seem particularly interested in the people as much as they are in just swimming around. I didn't purchase a video, but I think I would next time, just because it was very difficult to get good pictures w

I participated with a senior from the track team. This is my sixth time in Hawaii, and I've done various activities like horseback riding, snorkeling, surfing, Cessna flight experiences, hiking Diamond Head, and renting a car, but this was my first time joining this tour. It was quite fun to see sharks up close. It's extremely safe, so it's suitable for families as well. The staff's response was good too. I think this tour is recommended for both beginners and repeat visitors to Hawaii.

陸上部の先輩と参加。
ハワイは６回目で、乗馬、シュノーケル、サーフィン・セスナ体験搭乗、ダイヤモンドヘッド登山、レンタカー・・・といろいろやってきましたが、このツアーには初めて参加しました。
サメを間近で見られて結構楽しかったです。
きわめて安全なのでファミリーでも大丈夫です。
スタッフの対応も良かったです。
ハワイ初心者にもリピーターにもお勧めのツアーだと思います。

It was a very precious experience to be able to touch dolphins. There were a total of 8 participants, including the two of us: 4 family members from America, 2 Japanese, and us.

The dolphin trainer was Japanese and provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. However, the return time of 2:30 PM for the first bus from the narrow Sea Life Park might make it difficult to pass the time.

Since we had plans in Waikiki at 1:30 PM, we took The Bus back. The travel time was about 1 hour. If you take either the No. 22 (not in service on Tuesdays) or No. 23 bus, you will definitely arrive in Waikiki. The No. 22 bus is called the Seaside Line and runs along a very beautiful coastal route.

For those who want to make the most of their afternoon, I recommend participating in the first morning session and taking The Bus back.

イルカに触れることが出来て大変貴重な体験でした。参加者は、私ども2名を含め全員で8名。
アメリカから来られたファミリー4名と日本人2名と私ども。

イルカトレーナーは、日本人の方で英語と日本語と両方で説明してくれ、非常に楽しめました。
ただ、帰りの時間が14時30分が第1便と狭いシーライフパークでは時間を潰すのに苦労するかも。

私どもは、午後13時30分よりワイキキでの予定があったため、ザ･バスにて帰って来ました。所用時間は約1時間。
22番(火曜日運休)と23番のどちらかに乗車すれば、間違いなくワイキキに着きます。
22番はシーサイドラインと呼ばれ非常にきれいな海外線を走る模様。

午後の時間を有意義に使いたい方は、午前一番の回に参加し、ザ･バスで帰ってくることをオススメします。

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.

友達と2名で、9時スタートの回に参加しました。
結構空いていたので、潜水艦内はゆったりと座れました。
海ガメも何度も見れたし、ブルーの世界を体験できて面白かったです。潜水時間も思ったより長く、1時間くらいありました。ただ艦内後ろ側のモータ？音がひどくて説明がほとんど聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。進行方向の前側に座るのがお勧めです。

As shown in the photos on the site, you can have an incredibly thrilling experience surrounded by dozens of sharks. You can enjoy the excitement with adrenaline pumping, without feeling any danger, and I highly recommend it.

サイトの写真の通り、十数匹のサメに囲まれる、とってもスリリングな体験が出来ます。身の危険を感じることなく、アドレナリン出まくりの興奮を得る事が出来、オススメです。
