All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I had the impression that there would be more beautiful fish, so I was disappointed that I didn't see many (´-`).｡oO. Also, my child gets seasick, and unfortunately, they got sick on the boat we took to get to the submarine. If you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely better to take medication before going.

もう少し沢山の綺麗なお魚がいるイメージで行きましたので、そんなに見れなかったので残念でした（´-`）.｡oO
あと子供が船酔いをするので、潜水艦に行くまでに乗った船で酔ってしまい、残念でした。
船酔いする人は必ず薬を飲んで行かれた方がいいです。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I only signed up for this dolphin activity. I thought it would fulfill my children's (11 and 6 years old) wish to swim with dolphins!

We were picked up by bus, and on the way to the ocean, we listened to our guide, Julie. I was wondering why it was called Dolphin School, but after hearing her talk, I understood. The dolphins were our teachers! Julie was so energetic, funny, and enjoyable to be around! The distance to the ocean was quite far, but we had a great time learning about the dolphins and the island from her, making the trip feel quick. Julie's love for dolphins was incredible!

When we arrived and finished using the restroom, we headed to the boat, where the Hawaiian captain and the staff were waiting for us! Everyone welcomed us with smiles, and as we boarded the boat, we sang a prayer song and threw flowers into the sea. From there, we set off to find our dolphin teachers. Luckily, we spotted them quite quickly! We immediately put on our goggles and jumped into the water. The staff and Julie guided us, saying, "Look down!" and "Look to the mountains!" so we desperately searched for the dolphins. They were swimming in a pod, making it challenging to keep up. However, we swam slowly so as not to scare them, and the dolphins swam right by us. Some even swam upside down, showing us their bellies. We were able to see these adorable teachers up close! My children seemed thrilled to swim with them. The 6-year-old borrowed a float, which made it easier for him to swim, so that was great.

While moving to the next snorkeling point, we encountered a whale! It seems they returned a bit early this year due to the mild winter. I never expected to see a whale, so I was super excited! It was such a lucky moment! At the next snorkeling point, we discovered a sea turtle gracefully swimming around. I ended up getting too cold and had to go back to the boat with my child, but my husband swam until the end. It was a really fun time, but as soon as we got back on the boat, I started feeling seasick, and by the end, I was struggling with both the cold and the nausea... I regretted not taking motion sickness medication for myself, even though I had given some to the kids. Still, we finished strong with a hula dance graduation ceremony! My sons fell asleep, though... We took a group photo together to wrap up the day.

We saw dolphins, a whale, and a sea turtle, and even spotted seals from the bus on the way back—what a packed tour! The boat had a restroom, we could borrow wetsuits, and the conversations were enjoyable. The only downside was my own health, but I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

If you want to create fun and energetic memories, I highly recommend this tour! Thank you! 😊

今回初めてのハワイでアクテビティはこのイルカ中学だけ申し込みをしていました。
子供たち（11歳、6歳）たってのイルカと泳ぎたい！を叶えてくれると思い申し込みました。

バスでピックアップしてもらい海までの道中、ジュリさんのガイドを聞きながら行きました。
なぜイルカ中学？と思っていましたが話を聞いて納得。イルカは私たちの先生でした！
そして話をしてくれたジュリさんはとにかく元気だし面白いし楽しい！
海まで距離があるのでイルカ先生の知識や島のこと、知らなかったことを楽しく聞けてあっという間の行きでした。ジュリさんのイルカ愛が凄かった！

着いてトイレを済ませて船に向かうと、ハワイアンのパパ（船長）を始めスタッフのお兄さんお姉さん方が待っていてくれました！
みんな笑顔で迎えてくれて船に乗り込むと祈りの歌を歌い花を海へ投げ入れました。
そこからイルカ先生を探しに沖へ。ラッキーなことに結構すぐにイルカ先生たち発見！
すぐにゴーグルなどつけて海へドボン
スタッフのお兄さんやジュリさんが「下見テーーー！」「山ミテーーー！」とイルカ先生のいる方向を支持してくれるので必死に探しました。
群れで泳ぎながら移動しているので追いかけるのが大変でした。それでも驚かさないようにゆっくり泳いでいくとすぐ近くをスイーーと先生たちが泳いでいきました。
中には逆さまにお腹を見せて泳ぐイルカも。
なんとも可愛らしい先生たちの姿を見ることができました！
子供たちも一緒に泳げて嬉しかったようでした。
6歳の方は浮き棒を借りていたので楽に泳ぐことができたのでありがたかったです。

そして次のシュノーケルポイントまで船に上がり移動する間、なんと！クジラ大先生に遭遇！！
今年は暖冬のために帰ってくるのが少し早かったそう。
クジラなんて見れると思ってなかったので大興奮！とってもラッキーでした！
そして、次のシュノーケルポイントではウミガメ大教授発見！気持ち良さそうにフヨフヨと泳いでました。
私は海の冷たさに負けてしまい子供と船に上がってしまいましてが、旦那は最後までしっかり泳いできてました。
すごい楽しい時間だったのですが、船に乗り込んだ早々私自身酔ってしまっていて最後の方は寒さと酔いで大変でした…なので、子供には飲ませていましたが自分も酔い止め飲んでおけばよかったなと後悔。
それでも最後、卒業試験のフラダンスをみんなで踊り元気にフィニッシュ！息子たちは寝ちゃってましたが…
みんなで集合写真を撮って終了しました。

イルカ先生にもクジラ大先生にもウミガメ大教授にもそして帰りのバスからはアザラシを見ることができて盛りだくさんのツアーでした！
船にはトイレもあるし、ウエットスーツもお借りできるしお話も楽しいし自分の体調だけが残念だったけどまたハワイに来た時はまた参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

とにかく楽しく元気に思い出を作りたい！という方は本当にオススメのツアーです！
ありがとうございました(^^)

Initially, it was promised that if whales were not seen, re-boarding tickets would be distributed, but most people did not receive the re-boarding tickets. I think it's almost impossible to ride again given the length of stay. From the beginning, they should have suggested a half-price refund if whales were not seen.

最初の約束では、クジラが見れない時は、再乗車券を配布とありましたが、ほとんどの人は再乗車券は受け取りませんでした。だって滞在日数から再度乗車する事は、ほとんど不可能だと思います。最初から、クジラを見れない時は、半額返金などを提案すべきです。

I really wanted to go to this place. At first, I was unsure whether to join the tour, but in the end, it was definitely the right decision. Thanks to the clear explanations about the highlights and recommended spots, I was able to make effective use of my time. I also appreciated the little tips about souvenirs. I absolutely recommend participating. The guide was fantastic.

We were very disappointed with this tour as it's nothing like the video on their ad. First of all the vessels are mechanically disabled so you don't get to operate them; instead you get pushed around by divers. Also the video shows several people in the water at the same time which is also not true. They only had 3 bubbles taking groups of 3 down at a time and when you have 25 people on the tour, you end up spending most of the day waiting around for them to finish. They did offer some fins and snorkels but there weren't nearly enough of them to accomodate everyone that were waiting. I wouldn't recommend this tour, you can find cheaper boat or snorkeling tours for a fraction of the coast. It was kind of like renting a bike where you're not allowed to use the pedals or the handles and someone just pushes you around instead.

There were no whales.
I feel like crying.
It just turned into a morning cruise.
The scenery was amazing, though.
On the bus back from the dinner cruise, there was a video playing about a guarantee, but what was that about?

クジラいませんでした。
泣きそうです。
ただの朝クルーズとなってしまいました。
景色は最高でしたが。
ディナークルーズの帰りのバスの中で保証付きってビデオ流れていたけどなんなのか?

Swimming with dolphins was refreshing and made me feel alive. The weather is just a matter of luck. The sea park was a bit lacking. The bird cage was the best part. The tour bus had the air conditioning set too cold, and it was chilly.

イルカと泳ぐのは新鮮で良かったと言うか命を感じました。
天気は運しかないですね。
シーパークは物足りないです。鳥のケージが一番良かったです。
ツアーのバスは冷房が利きすぎて寒かったです。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

I participated with my two children at the end of December. Since they do not provide transportation to hotels in Waikiki, we rented a car to get there. We drove from the highway towards Waianae and headed north along the coast. I thought it would have been better to eat at one of the fast food places before the harbor. The meeting place was hard to find, and we finally located it after searching with another group of Japanese tourists who had signed up for the same tour. It would be helpful to use the car with the tour company name as a landmark. There were only portable toilets at the harbor. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes and go barefoot. Drinks and snacks were available for us to enjoy. Everyone in my family took motion sickness medication, but everyone except me got seasick; my 6-year-old got sick and threw up within 30 minutes, and my 9-year-old was knocked out, both of them sleeping for most of the two-hour cruise. While overcoming the rough waves, I felt like I was in the movie Moana... We encountered a pod of dolphins, and the kids perked up at that moment. Two staff members were searching for whales with binoculars, but we ultimately didn’t see any. The view of Waianae from the boat was wonderful, and I felt rejuvenated by Hawaii's nature, but the kids were exhausted, and not seeing any whales made me feel like we didn’t get our money's worth, so I give it two stars. The staff took care of various things, but they had no Japanese language support at all. Since most participants were Japanese, the fast-paced English could be a bit tough for those who are not good at English. We were not given life jackets, and when I requested one for the kids, they were surprised and handed over a type that looked like a guillotine, which was uncomfortable for my child who was already feeling unwell, and in the end, they couldn’t wear it. I had lingering concerns about safety. Plus, the rough waves... that would be unthinkable in Japan. We received a re-try voucher, but it’s quite difficult to re-try this season, and I wish the expiration could be extended to 1-2 years.

12月末に子供2人と参加しました。送迎はワイキキのホテルまではしてくれないとのことでレンタカーして向かいました。ハイウェイからワイアナエ方向に進み海岸沿い北上しました。ハーバー手前に数件ファストフード店ありそこで食べればよかったと思いました。集合場所は分かりにくく同じツアー申し込んだ他の日本人グループと一緒に探してやっと見つけました。ツアー会社名の書いた車目印にするといいです。ハーバーには簡易トイレしかありません。船に乗り込む前に靴を脱ぎ裸足で乗船。飲み物とお菓子はご自由にと置いてありました。家族全員酔い止め飲んでましたが、わたし以外はみんな船酔い、6歳の下の子は30分も経たないうちに酔って吐き、9歳の上の子もノックアウトで二人とも二時間のクルーズ中ほぼ寝てました。荒波乗り越えながら映画のモアナの気分になりました…途中イルカの群れに会い子供もその時だけは起き上がり元気に。スタッフ二人が双眼鏡でクジラ捜索してましたが結局会えずでした。船からのワイアナエの景色は素晴らしく、ハワイの自然に癒されましたが、子供はぐったりでクジラにも会えず、自然のもので仕方ないとはいえ高い費用の元が取れた気がせず星二つ。スタッフは色々ケアしてくれましたが、日本語は全くNGでした。ツアー参加の大半が日本人の中早口の英語で、英語が得意でない場合はちょっと辛いかもです。ライフジャケット渡されず、子供の分を要求したら驚かれ、ギロチンみたいなタイプのを渡されて子供は体調悪い中首締まり苦しく、結局つけれずでした。安全面で不安が残りました。しかも荒波…日本ではあり得ないです。再トライ券もらいましたが、今シーズン再トライはなかなか難しいしせめて期限が１〜２年あればと思いました。

We took our 2 girls, 6 and 8. Water was slightly cool and it was windy which made the girls cold but it was fine otherwise. The dolphins were so sweet and playful and the trainers were great and good with our daughters. Definitely worthwhile and much better than sea life park which we have done before as well.

We participated on Christmas Day with our 4-year-old child. I was honestly worried about whether my child would enjoy it, but I wanted to show her the dolphins, so we joined. Of course, my child couldn't swim with the dolphins, but while my husband and I were searching for dolphins, the crew took care of our daughter, and she seemed to have a great time, for which we are truly grateful. At the next snorkeling spot, our daughter was able to get in the water and see the fish, which was really nice. A life jacket is essential, and I think it's better to rent one if you're going in winter. Next time, I want to get in the water with my daughter and show her lots of dolphins. Our guide, Julie, was so bright and gave us a lot of positive encouragement. Thank you very much!

4歳の子供とクリスマスの日に参加しました。子供が楽しめるか、正直不安でしたが、イルカを見せてあげたくて参加しました。流石に、子供はイルカと一緒には泳ぐことができませんでしたが、私達夫婦がイルカ探しをしている間、クルーの人が娘の面倒をみてくださったおかげで、ご機嫌に過ごせたようで、ほんと感謝で、助かりました。次のシュノーケリングスポットでは、娘も海に入り、魚を見ることができ、ほんとよかったです。ライフジャケットは必須で、冬に行かれる方は借りられた方がいいと思います。次回は、娘と一緒に海に入り、沢山のイルカを見せてやりたいと思います。ガイドのジュリーさんの明るさ、ほんと前向きな勇気をもらえました。ありがとうございました！

The explanations in Japanese were very helpful. The child who was a little scared to ride the submarine became excited and started looking around underwater once we dove in.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication.

日本語で説明もあって、とても助かりました。
潜水艦に乗るのを少し怖がっていた子供も潜りだしたら、興奮して海の中を眺めていました。

酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

It was a fantastic adventure. The staff was friendly and professional and the trip was awesome!

My sons participated in a dolphin swim. The dolphins were well-trained, and the guide was very kind, allowing us to fully enjoy the program. It lasted about 30 to 40 minutes. There were 7 to 8 people in the group, and we got to be pulled by the dorsal fins of two dolphins, have them poke our feet to help us rise from the water, and even receive kisses. This is a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere, so I highly recommend participating if you want to interact with dolphins.

In addition to this program, there are several interesting things to see at the Sea Life Park itself. There are tanks with sharks, cages with beautiful Hawaiian birds, sea turtles, and penguins. It's quite enjoyable, and if you have about three hours, you can see everything. The facilities are a bit old, and some areas could use renovation, but the interaction with the dolphins is something you can only experience here, and I highly recommend it.

ドルフィンスイムに息子たちが参加しました。
イルカは良く調教されていて、イルカのガイドをされている方もとても親切でプログラムを満喫できました。
全体で30~40分くらいでしょうか？グループに7~8人が参加し、2匹のイルカの背びれで引っ張ってもらったり、足の裏を突いてもらって水中から立ち上がらせてもらったり、キスをしてもらったりと、とても他では体験できないことなので、ぜひイルカと触れ合いたい方は参加されると貴重な体験をできると思います。

このプログラム以外にもシーライフパーク自体でいくつか面白いものが見れます。サメのいる水槽やハワイのきれいな小鳥を飼っているケージやウミガメ、ペンギンもいたり、まずまず楽しめるのですが、3時間程度あれば、全部回れる感じですね。施設が古くなっていて、一部は取り壊して再生したほうがいいようなところもありますが、ぜひ皆さんイルカとの触れ合いはここでしか味わえないし、おすすめします。

It was my first whale watching cruise, and I was lucky enough to see two whales spouting and jumping, which I was able to capture in photos! However, the tour was conducted entirely in English, and I couldn't understand anything that was being said. I think the explanations are the same each time, so it would have been appreciated if there were printed materials in Japanese for the explanations.

初めてのウォッチングクルーズでしたが、2回クジラが潮吹を吹きジャンプをし写真にも収めることができました。ラッキー!(^^)!
ただこのツアーはスタッフが英語のみで全く何を言っているのか理解出来ないなかでのクルーズでした。
毎回説明する事は同じだと思うので、日本語での説明印刷物を置いておくとかして頂けると有り難かったです。

I participated on December 25th.
I encountered a family of dolphins right near the port. They swam slowly just below us, so we were able to take great photos! I also saw a sea turtle.
Since we were in the water for a long time, everyone wore wetsuits, but it might be quite cold during the movement due to the wind.
Lastly, our guide, Julie, was amazing. You can really feel her love for dolphins and nature. I highly recommend it.

12月25日に参加しました。
港の直ぐ近くで、イルカのファミリー？に出会いました。直ぐ真下をゆっくりと泳いでいるのでしっかり写真も撮れます！海ガメもみました。
長い時間海にいるので、ウェットスーツは全員着用してましたが、移動中は風で結構寒いかも。
最後に、ガイドのジュリーさん最高でした。イルカ愛と、自然愛を感じます。おススメです。

I was sleep-deprived, so I fell into a deep sleep on the bus ride, but the guide's energy was incredible and really lifted my spirits!

I had an absolute blast!!

寝不足だったので、行きのバスで爆睡してしまいましたが、ガイドの元気が凄まじく、元気もらえました！！


めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！

I had a hard time communicating at the reception to see if I could board earlier than planned. Also, I was anxious because I couldn't communicate in Japanese on the ferry to the submarine. Once I got on the submarine, I was disappointed to find that there were surprisingly few beautiful fish.

予定より早い行動となり、受付で乗船を前倒し出来ないか伝えるのに、一苦労しました。
また、潜水艦への連絡船でも日本語が通じず不安でした。
潜水艦に乗ってからは、意外に綺麗な魚が少なく期待ハズレでした。

For $45, you can buy underwater videos and photos. I returned home and showed everyone the footage of Sea Bob. It was interesting!

４５ドルだせば、水中の動画や写真を買うことができます。シーボブの様子を帰国して、みんなに見せました。面白い！

It was a whale watching tour, but I was disappointed that we couldn't find any whales. Instead, we saw dolphins, but since you can see dolphins at an aquarium, it wasn't that exciting!

鯨を見るツアーでしたが、鯨は見つからずがっかりでした。鯨の代わりにイルカは見えましたが、イルカは水族館でも見えるのでそれ程の感激はなし！！

I was able to meet a lot of dolphins, and the instructors were really enthusiastic, which made it a lot of fun.

たくさんのイルカに会うことが出来たのと、インストラクターの皆様も凄く盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しめました。

I have already sent my feedback in English to the local office, so please refer to that.

すでに、英文の感想分を現地officeあてに送っていますので、それを参考にしてください。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

We had such a awesome time and got to see turtles and the local fish. Will definitely recommend this to any friends that go to Oahu as something to do!

Diving about 88 feet with the submarine, I was able to see various fish and turtles, which was a valuable experience. I also appreciate the timely arrangements for the pick-up service.

８８フィートぐらいサブマリンで潜って、いろいろな魚やカメを観ることができて、貴重な体験ができました。送迎アレンジも時間通りでご案内いただき感謝しております。

On November 30, 2018, it felt like there were only a few fish in the areas where there were no corals and where planes and other things were sunk. It was very disappointing, especially considering the high cost.

2018年11月30日　サンゴがなく飛行機など沈めている所にだけ魚が少しいる感じでした。金額が高いのに　これだけ・・・と、とても残念でした。

I rode a submarine for the first time! When I heard we would be at a depth of 30 meters, I thought it wouldn't be that deep. However, once we actually submerged, the scenery was completely different since we were underwater. It was very surreal.

Since we were sitting back-to-back, the people behind me seemed to get excited when they saw a whale, but I couldn't see anything from my side. On the way back, they said we might see it again since we would be turning around, but unfortunately, we didn't see anything.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました！
水深３０メートルと聞いて、あまり深くないのかなぁという印象。
実際に潜ってみると、海中にいるだけあって、景色も違います。
非常に幻想的でした。
背中合わせに座るので、背中側の人たちは鯨が見えたらしく盛り上がるものの、こちら側では見えず。帰りはＵターンするので見えるかもとのことでしたが、残念ながら見えず。

I used this for my honeymoon trip.

There were many other foreign tourists participating as well, but there were crew members who could speak Japanese, so I was able to hear the explanations in Japanese until we boarded the submarine. The transfer to the submarine is by boat, and you can enjoy the breeze on the deck, which feels nice. On the day I went, the boat was quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

Once on the submarine, you can see various things like colorful fish, sea turtles, and a sunken airplane that you wouldn't typically see in Japan. After boarding the submarine, there are multilingual headphones available, so you can listen to the explanations in Japanese. The inside of the submarine is quite cool, so I recommend bringing warm clothing.

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。

他の外国人の観光客の方もたくさん参加していますが、船員さんに日本語を話せる方がいるので、潜水艦に乗るまでの説明は日本語で聞くことができます。
潜水艦までの移動は船なので、デッキに出れば風に当たることができ、気持ちいいです。私が乗った日は船が結構揺れていた為、船酔いする方は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもしれません。

潜水艦に乗ってからは、日本で見ないようなカラフルな魚やウミガメ、沈んだ飛行機等色んな物が見えます。
潜水艦に乗った後も多国語対応のヘッドホンがあるので、日本語で解説を聞く事ができます。
潜水艦の中はかなりクーラーが効いているため、防寒着を持っておく事をお勧めします。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to interact with dolphins, so I signed up for the experience. I was able to enjoy various interactions with the dolphins, such as kissing, shaking hands, feeding them treats, and touching their bodies. I had a lot of fun and was really satisfied with the amount of interaction I got! At Sea Life Park, there was someone who was fluent in Japanese and provided thorough explanations, which made me feel very at ease. The instructor also spoke a bit of Japanese and shared various stories, which was great. Inside the park, I was able to experience feeding birds and fish. Everyone among the staff was very kind. I had a slight health issue, but they responded quickly, which was really good. The only downside was that the only restaurant had a dynamic taste, and the bread was a bit dry, which didn't quite suit the kids' palates. However, the fries were delicious (though the portion was large).

せっかくハワイ に来たのでイルカとの触れ合いをしたくて申し込みしました。イルカとの触れ合いはキスや握手、ご褒美の餌やり支持だしやボディへのタッチなど様々な体験ができました。本当に満足するまで触れ合いができて楽しかったです！シーライフパークでは日本語堪能な方がしっかり説明してくれてとっても安心しました。そしてインストラクターの方も片言の日本語でイロイロ話をしてくれてとても良かったです。園内では鳥の餌やりや魚の餌やりなど体験できました。園内の授業員の方たち誰もがとても優しかったです。ちょっとした体調のトラブルがありましたがすぐに対応してもらえて本当に良かったです。１つだけ残念なのが唯一のレストランは味がダイナミックでパンもパサパサでちょっと子ども達の口には合いませんでした。でも、ポテトは美味しかったです(量は多かったですが)

We decided to travel a lot as a family while my father, who is 70 years old, is still able to move around. We have been gathering with relatives once a month for planning for about a year now. I have always loved diving and have encouraged those around me to try it, but it seems there is a scary image associated with it, as everyone in my family except for me was quite hesitant about the dolphin school this time. However, thanks to the warm support and encouragement from the kind and cheerful staff, their anxious expressions disappeared. When the tour ended and we returned to the port, my father exclaimed, "The dolphin tour was the best!!" Normally, he doesn't joke around much, but during the tour, he was completely absorbed in enjoying the interactions with the sea and the staff, smiling the whole time! He was also earnestly dancing the hula on the boat, and I was very happy to capture those moments on camera. When I asked my 10-year-old niece what her best memory was after returning home, she immediately replied, "The dolphin school!!" My dream also came true, and I was really glad to see so many smiles from my family. The snorkeling gear and suits were in great condition, and the spam onigiri was delicious! I will definitely come back to enroll again.

父 70歳、身体が動くうちに家族でたくさん旅をしようと決めた旅行。
約一年前から親族で月１で集まりプランニングをしてきました。
わたしは元々ダイビングが好きで、周りにもすすめてきましたが、怖いというイメージがあるみたいで、今回のイルカ中学入校も私以外の家族は皆さんざん悩んでいました。
けれど、優しく明るいスタッフさんたちの手厚いフォローや声かけに、不安な表情も消え、
ツアーが終わって港に戻ると「イルカツアーが一番よかった！！」と父。
普段はおちゃらけることもあまりない父ですが、ツアー中は夢中になって海とスタッフさんたちとのやりとりを楽しみ、終始笑顔！
船上でのフラも一生懸命に踊っていて、撮影しながらとても嬉しかったです。
10歳の姪は帰国後、一番の想い出は？と問うと「イルカ中学！！」と即答。
私の夢も叶い、家族の笑顔がたくさん見ることができて、本当に参加してよかったです。
シュノーケルやスーツも美品でしたし、
スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです！
また入校しに行かせていただきます。

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The tour guide's high energy really lifted our spirits. I joined with my kindergarten-aged child, and it seemed quite scary for them. However, thanks to the encouragement from the staff and other participants, we were able to greet the dolphins and turtles. My child is learning to swim, so they can swim, but they had no experience swimming in the ocean and were scared of the goggles and snorkel. If possible, it would have been good to purchase them and practice at the hotel pool. The sight of the dolphins swimming was graceful and incredibly moving. More than that, it was wonderful to see the island surrounded by nature from the sea. Thank you very much.

初めてのハワイで参加させていただきました。添乗員さんのハイテンションで気分は盛り上がりました。幼稚園の子供と参加しましたが、相当怖かったようです。しかし、スタッフの皆さんや参加者の皆さんからの声かけがあり、イルカとカメに挨拶することができました。水泳を習っているので泳げないことはないのですが、海で泳ぐ経験が無く、ゴーグルとシュノーケルにも慣れていくて怖かったようです。可能であれば購入して、ホテルのプールででも連取すれば良かったです。イルカの泳ぐ姿は優美でなんとも言えない感動です。それよりも、自然に囲まれた島を海からみることができたのが良かったです。ありがとうございました。
