All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

There are a lot of sharks, and you can see them very closely. I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't speak any English at all, but if you can understand a little, the staff is kind and friendly, and I think it's a lot of fun. The boat rocks a lot, so taking motion sickness medication is essential.

サメはたくさんいますし、とても近くで見れます。
英語が全くダメな方にはオススメしませんが、少し理解出来る方であればスタッフも親切ですしフレンドリーでとても楽しいと思います。
船がめちゃくちゃ揺れるので船酔いの薬は必須です。

I participated with my 5-year-old son. He seemed nervous with the unfamiliar life jacket and snorkel, but the class representative, Julie, kindly supported him, and we were able to see dolphins up close. Unfortunately, we could only see sea turtles from the boat because my child gets cold easily, but we spotted about four of them. The spam musubi for a light snack was also delicious. The other participants and the staff were very friendly, and the final hula was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again once my son can swim better! Julie, please wait for us until then!

5歳の息子と参加しました。
慣れないライフジャケットとシュノーケルに緊張した様子でしたが学級委員ジュリさんが優しくフォローしてくれてイルカを目の前で見る事が出来ました。
海ガメは残念ながら子供が寒がり船の上からとなりましたが4匹近くで見られました。
軽食のスパムむすびも美味しかったです。
一緒に参加された方、スタッフの方々もノリが良く最後のフラもとても楽しかったです。
また息子がもっと泳げるようになったら絶対参加したいです！
ジュリさんそれまで待っててくださいね！

easy going guys with a great trip out to sea. at no time did I feel unsafe. being in the cage was great. we would have seen up to 15 sharks. I would recommend doing this tour.

I found this review very helpful, so I’d like to share my thoughts as well.

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter, who just turned six, and my parents in their 70s, making it a three-generation outing.

Renting a wetsuit was essential, especially for slim individuals, children, and the elderly. It gets surprisingly cold floating in the sea for a long time without a wetsuit, and after seeing the dolphins, when the boat moves to the snorkeling spot, it’s really cold with the wind on a wet body. By the way, it was sunny at the end of June. Everyone on the trip was wearing one.

My daughter wore a swimsuit, a short-sleeve rash guard, rash leggings, and a rented wetsuit that was long-sleeved and shorts. Even with that, she was shivering and had blue lips after getting out of the water. I thought maybe I should have gotten her a thicker, warmer long-sleeve and long-pants rash guard. Since children are just floating and not swimming hard, they get colder more easily.

After snorkeling, my daughter was so cold that she wanted to take off her wet swimsuit immediately, so she quickly changed into her regular clothes on the boat while shivering, put on a windbreaker, and finally stopped shivering once she wore a down jacket. I think it would be reassuring to bring a compact ultra-down jacket from Uniqlo for children who get cold easily.

A children's pool towel with a hood and snaps is convenient for changing anywhere. A super absorbent, quick-drying, ultra-thin chamois towel was also very handy. No matter how many beach towels you have from the hotel, it’s never enough.

By the way, my daughter could do a face-down flutter kick and had her first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay the day before. My husband went into the sea first, and the staff helped lower my daughter from the boat, where my husband caught her below. From the boat to the water's surface, it’s close enough that you can sit and your feet won’t reach, but it’s not a scary height. Everyone else jumped in from standing, but since we were last in line, my mother and I sat down and slipped into the sea. They also provide floatation devices. The support and encouragement from the staff were experienced and made me feel really safe while snorkeling.

I recommend the dissolvable motion sickness tablets. I usually get seasick even with a float, but this time I was perfectly fine.

Juri, the class representative, was just like a class representative should be—very caring and someone you can rely on. I was really satisfied with the thoughtful consideration and kindness she showed, and I’m so glad I participated. The bus ride was refreshing and fun, with a very clear guide. I made truly wonderful memories.

I will definitely choose Dolphin Academy again next time! Thank you very much!

今回、こちらの口コミをとても参考にさせていただきましたので、私の感想も少しのせてみますね。

6歳になったばかりの年長さんの娘と、70代の両親と３世代での参加です。

ウェットスーツのレンタルは必須でした。特に細身の方。お子様やお年寄り。必須です！
海で長時間浮かんでいるのも、ウェットスーツが無いと、思いのほか寒くなってくるので耐えられないのと、イルカを見た後、船がシュノーケルスポットへ移動する時も、濡れた体で風を受けるので、ウェットスーツ着ていないと寒くて無理です！
ちなみに6月末で晴天です。　
参加者全員着用してました。

娘は水着+半袖ラッシュガード+ラッシュレギンス+レンタルのウェットスーツは長袖半ズボンで、それでも海から上がるとガタガタ震えて唇青くて。。
もっと上下厚手の保温タイプの長袖長ズボンラッシュにしてあげれば良かったかな～くらいな感じです。子供は特に浮かんでいるだけなので、一生懸命泳がないから余計寒いのですね。

シュノーケルが終わると、娘は寒すぎて、濡れた水着をすぐに脱ぎたがりましたので、船上で震えながらもパパッと普段着に着替え、防風ウィンドブレーカーをはおり、更にダウンジャケットでようやく震えが止まった様子。
寒がりなお子様にはコンパクトなユ○クロのウルトラダウンみたいなのを是非念のためお持ちになると安心だと思います。

フードやスナップのついた子供用のプールタオルは何処でもお着替えが出来て便利。
タオルも超吸水、超速乾、超薄のセームタオルが便利でした。ホテルのビーチタオルでは何枚あっても足りません。

ちなみに娘は顔付ばた足が出来る程度で、前日にハナウマ湾で初めてシュノーケルを経験した所。
パパが先に海におりて、船上からスタッフの方に娘を抱き下ろしてもらい、パパが下で受け取る形。船から水面は、座って足は届かないけれど、かなり近いです。皆さん立って足から飛び降りる感じですが、順番の最後だったので、私や母は座ってから、足からスルッと海に降りました。怖くない高さです。
浮き棒等貸して下さいます。
サポートも声掛けもベテランで、本当に安心してシュノーケル出来ました。

舐めるタイプの酔止めはおすすめです。普段浮き輪でも酔う私ですが、今回はバッチリでした。

学級委員のじゅりさんが、まさに学級委員って感じで、とっても面倒見がよくて思わず頼りたくなる本当に素敵な方で、細やかな配慮と優しい気配りで、こちらに参加して本当に良かったと大満足でした。
バスの中でも爽やかで楽しくて、とても分かりやすいガイドをして頂きました。本当に素敵な思い出が出来ました。

また次回も必ずイルカ中学を選びます！本当にありがとうございました！

This adventure was more than what we expected. We first boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine. We entered a small port hatch that lowered us into a surprisingly large submarine that held over 63 individuals. We dove to a depth of over 112 feet and saw all manor of marine life around sunken ships and airplanes. We experienced fish and sea turtles nestled among the wreckage along with eels along the coral. To say this was a unique experience was an understatement. How often do you get to go 100+ feet under water and see marine life in their natural inhabitant?

This was my second time participating, and I was once again very satisfied! I was able to swim with many dolphins. I'm usually scared to swim in the ocean where I can't touch the bottom, but in this activity, I had zero fear. For those who are anxious about swimming, they provide not only life jackets but also floatation devices, which is reassuring. It seems that swimming with spinner dolphins is something you can only do in Hawaii, so I highly recommend it. Our guide, Juli, was also fun and lively! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

二度目の参加でしたが、今回も大満足でした！
たくさんのイルカと一緒に泳げました。
私は足が届かない海では怖くて泳げないのですが、このアクティビティでは恐怖心ゼロでした。泳ぎに不安がある人には、ライフジャケットの他に浮き棒も貸してくれるので安心です。ハシナガイルカと泳げるのは世界中でハワイだけらしいので、本当におススメです。
ガイドのじゅりさんも楽しく盛り上げてくれました！ハワイに行ったら絶対また参加したいです！

It was really funny to see my younger daughter and a foreign boy, around 10 years old, who was scared of dolphins, connecting with each other as if to say, "It's scary, isn't it?" despite the language barrier.

Inside the birdcage, there were many birds, and I made memories that I couldn't experience in Japan.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but we enjoyed the beautiful ocean. The staff's service was excellent, and the Japanese guests were very satisfied. However, the meeting point is at the Port Waikiki Kiosk inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is a bit difficult to find. I think it would be helpful to provide a map of the hotel to make it clearer.

First, we boarded a boat from the dock near Hilton Hawaiian Village and headed offshore, where the views from the boat were excellent. There was a shop on board, so we didn't get bored. At the offshore point, we could see a submarine surfacing. The weather was calm on the day of our participation, and the view from inside the submarine was great. Thanks to our guide, who was fluent in Japanese, we had a wonderful time. While it might not be enough for those who are serious about scuba diving, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone else.

まずはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの乗船場から船に乗り沖合へ行きますが、この船からの眺めが非常に良いです。船内にはショップがあり退屈しません。沖合のポイントでは潜水艦の浮上を見ることができます。参加当日は天気も穏やかで潜水艦内からの眺めも良く、また日本語が流暢なガイドさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。本格的にスキューバダイビングをする人には物足りないかもしれませんが、そうでなければ十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。

A trip to Hawaii with my friend's family. I was the only one who wanted to swim with dolphins, so I felt anxious but decided to sign up anyway. My worries while waiting for the pickup bus were blown away by the guide's Japanese. All the participants were Japanese as well, and they were all cheerful and friendly, which made me feel even more at ease!

The one-hour ride was never boring thanks to the lively talk from our guide, Julie (a cheerful Japanese woman). The weather was great, the boat was stable, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the west coast of Hawaii. I got to see plenty of dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish, which was thrilling and moving!

The staff were not only cheerful but also maintained safety properly, which made me feel secure. Typically, I am satisfied after one experience, but this time I found myself wanting to participate again.

友人家族とのハワイ旅行。
イルカと泳ぎたいのは、自分1人だったので不安ながらも申し込みました。
ピックアップしてくれるバスを待っている間の不安は、ガイドの方の日本語で吹き飛びました。参加者も全員日本人で、しかも陽気な良い方ばかりでさらに安心！
1時間の車内は、ガイドのジュリー（元気な日本女性）のトークで飽きないし、天気も良くて船も揺れが少なくて、ハワイ西海岸の景色を満喫しました。イルカも亀も熱帯魚もたっぷりと見れて、感動・興奮！
スタッフ達も陽気なだけじゃなく、キチンと安全をキープしてくれてて、安心出来ました。
大体なんでも、1度で満足する自分が、また参加したいと思いました。

It took longer to get around than I expected, and I returned to my room late, but I was glad to see the sea turtles. I heard there was a Japanese guide in the morning, so I aimed for that and was very satisfied with my reservation.

思いのほか移動に時間がかかり部屋に戻るのが遅くなりましたが海ガメに会えたし良かったです。午前中は日本語ガイドがあると聞いていたのでそれを狙って予約できて大変満足です。

I booked a tour for the next day while I was there. I received a confirmation email and waited at the pickup location on the day of the tour, but after waiting for over 20 minutes, no one showed up... I couldn't speak English, so I had to call, and with the help of the hotel staff, I managed to convey my issue. It seems the tour company said there was no reservation. In the end, I took a taxi to the boat and got a refund for the taxi fare, so I was able to participate in the tour after all. Since I didn't incur any financial loss, I asked Veltra to check the situation after returning home, and they responded sincerely. The tour itself was fine (I even saw a whale, albeit just a little), but it might be a bit risky to make last-minute reservations.

現地にいる時に翌日のツアーを予約しました。
予約完了メールも来て、当日迎えの場所で待っていましたが20分以上待っても来ず…英語が喋れないけど電話するしかない、とホテルの人に手伝ってもらいなんとか要件を伝えると、予約が入っていないとツアー催行会社から言われたようで…
結局タクシーで船のところまで行ってタクシー代を返金してもらえ、ツアーに参加することが出来たのでなんとかなりました。
金銭的に損をしたわけではなかったので、帰国後ベルトラさんに状況確認だけお願いしたところ誠実に対応してくださいました。
ツアー自体は問題ありませんでしたが（鯨もちょこっとだけ見れました）、直前の予約は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

I was a little unsure about what to expect but once we got on the boat the tour guide did an awesome job of making us feel more comfortable. He explained everything and was very professional. It was amazing to be so close to the sharks and to have a new understanding of them. I would do it again for sure.

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and dad!

We were picked up early in the morning from a nearby hotel, and our guide, Julie, was so energetic and fun. I learned a lot of interesting facts about dolphins.

I thought I could swim, but then I realized I had never swum in the ocean with a current before. At first, I couldn't really take care of my daughter, but Julie helped watch her, and gradually I was able to use the fins and keep up (sweating a bit).

We encountered dolphins three times, with as many as ten at one point. I brought an underwater camera, but the professional photographer dove down for us and was great at getting close to the dolphins and sea turtles. So, instead of floundering around, it might be wiser to pay about $50 and enjoy being photographed, then buy the professional pictures (since you'll want them anyway).

Anyway, Julie was great at keeping us entertained, and my daughter was totally into it, even participating in the final diving competition. It became a wonderful memory!

5歳娘とパパと三人で参加しました！

早朝に近くのホテルから拾ってもらい、テンション高いジュリさんのガイドっぷりも楽しく、イルカの豆知識も勉強になりました。

泳げるつもりでしたが、考えたら潮の流れのある沖で泳いだことはなく、娘の面倒を最初はほとんど見る事が出来なかったけど、ジュリさんが娘を見てくれ、徐々にフィンを使って進めるようになり何とかついて行けました（汗）

イルカには3回遭遇出来、多い時で10頭でした。水中でも撮れるカメラ持参でしたけど、プロのカメラマンさんは潜ってくれますし、イルカやウミガメのそばに行くのも上手なので、バタバタする位なら、50ドルほど払いますが、写される事を楽しんで、プロの写真を買った方が賢明かもしれません。（どうせ、欲しくなりますから）

とにかく、楽しませるのが上手で、娘はすっかりノリノリで、最後のダイビング大会も参加する始末。
良い思い出になりました！

I had an amazing experience that I can't usually have! I was able to feel an indescribable thrill as sharks constantly swam around the enclosure! I want to go every time I visit Hawaii!

普段出来ない最高な体験ができました！！
サメが絶えずオリの周りを泳いでいてなんとも言えないスリルを味わえました！！
ハワイ旅行の際には毎回でも行きたい！！

Great experience! Kids really enjoyed themselves. The tour guy on the submarine was hilarious! The boat ride out to the submarine was really nice and got to see some beautiful scenery. Everyone was very friendly! Have to do it if your here, we wanted to do things that we aren’t able to do back home.

I thought I would be operating the underwater scooter myself, but the diver controlled the left, right, and up and down movements, so I was a bit disappointed that I only had to open the throttle. This time, it was a bit chilly after the experience, possibly because of the cloudy sky from the volcanic smoke on the Big Island, so I needed something to wear afterward.

水中スクーターは自分で操作するのかと思っていたらダイバーが左右上下をするので、ただアクセルを開けるだけだったのが少しがっかりでした

I was moved to see wild dolphins and sea turtles. The tour guide is energetic, which I think can be polarizing. After getting on the boat, there was a feeling of forced excitement, and those who want to genuinely enjoy the activity might feel put off. However, the staff were generally nice, but I had some doubts about the Japanese cameraman's attitude. I admit I struggled to understand the intent behind his questions and had to ask him to repeat himself several times, but saying "That's enough" in Kansai dialect was inappropriate. I was left feeling uncomfortable as I didn't know him well. I've participated in snorkeling tours many times in the past, and I felt a lack of professionalism this time. By the way, if you don't take measures against seasickness and cold, the return trip can be tough, so it's important to prepare properly.

野生のイルカとウミガメ見れて感動しました。ツアーガイドはエネルギッシュなので好き嫌い分れると思います。船に乗った後は無理やり盛り上げてる感があって純粋にアクティビティを楽しみたいと思って参加する人はしらける方もいるかもしれないですが、スタッフの皆さんはいい感じでいいか…と思いきや担当した日本人のカメラマンの対応に疑問を感じました。話しかけられて質問の意図が分からなくて何回か聞き直してしまった自分にも非がありますが関西弁で『もうええわ』はないです。知り合いや仲良くもないのになぜこんな態度を取られるのか不快な思いしか残りませんでした。過去に何度もシュノーケリングツアーに参加してきましたがプロ精神に欠けていると感じました。ちなみに船酔い対策と寒さ対策はしないと帰りがキツいのでしっかりとしなきゃ厳しいです。

It was an early morning tour, but since I had plans to go to Ala Moana in the afternoon, I opted for the morning tour. I was really sleepy, but our guide, Julie, was super energetic despite the early hour! She talked non-stop, and before I knew it, we had arrived at the marina.

She mentioned on the bus that seeing dolphins in the wild can vary; sometimes you see them right away, and other times you might search for over three hours without spotting any. I was a bit anxious as we left the marina, and although the waves were quite high and the boat was rocking, we started with a ceremonial Hawaiian song to meet the dolphins and tossed plumeria flowers into the sea. Thanks to that, we quickly encountered dolphins! We saw several dorsal fins breaking the surface! We hurriedly prepared our snorkeling gear and dove into the water! The visibility wasn't great, probably due to the high waves, but we managed to encounter some dolphins!

Swimming was quite tiring, but I thought of it as good exercise, and it was worth the effort. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling. Again, the visibility wasn't very good, but we encountered many sea turtles! A photographer who was underwater took my camera and captured close-up shots of the turtles.

Captain Gian (a famous former lifeguard) and his daughter, who claims to be part of the EXILE crew, along with our guide Julie, who was at her maximum energy level, made for an entertaining and enjoyable time! Thank you!

あさが早めのツアーでしたが、午後からアラモアナに行く予定があった為午前のツアーにしました。めっちゃ眠たかったですがガイドのジュリちゃんのテンションが早朝に関わらずMAX!!喋りっぱなしで気が付いたらマリーナへ着いていました。
自然のイルカなのですぐ見れる時と3時間以上探しても見れない時もあるとバスの中で言っていたのでどーかなぁ〜？と思いながらマリーナを出て、波は中々高く船は揺れいましたが、まず出航してからイルカに会う為の儀式的なハワイ語の歌、プルメリアの花を海に投げ入れお願いしたおかげか、すぐにイルカに会えました！水面にイルカの背鰭が何個も！早々にシュノーケルの準備をして海へダイブ！波が高かったせいかあまり透明度はありませんでしたが、何とかイルカに遭遇！
泳ぐのは結構疲れますがいいエクササイズと思いながら頑張ったかいが有りました。
その後ポイントを変えてのシュノーケルやはり透明度は余り無かったですが沢山の海亀に遭遇！水中カメラマンの方が、私の水中カメラを持って潜ってくれて、至近距離のカメを撮ってきてくれました。

thankyou！

On the day of the festival in Waikiki, the meeting place was changed the day before. However, thanks to VERTRA's attentive email support, I was able to participate without any issues. There were Japanese-speaking staff on-site, which made everything very smooth. The park had a pool for feeding fish and a space for feeding parrots, so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about the time until our transportation or activities. It was difficult to take photos or videos of the dolphins during the activity, so I think we will end up buying the ones taken by a professional, which were $30 each. I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he was not afraid of the dolphins at all; he was thrilled to swim with them.

当日ワイキキでお祭りがあり、前日に集合場所が変更になりました。しかし、VERTRAさんの丁寧なメール対応で問題なく参加できました。
現地に日本語のスタッフがいて非常にスムーズ。パーク内には魚にえさをあげるプールやインコにえさをあげるスペースもあり、送迎やアクティビティまでの時間は気にすることなく楽しめました。イルカの写真や動画はアクティビティ参加中は撮ることが難しいのでプロに撮ってもらったものを買うことになると思います。１枚３０＄でした。８歳の息子と参加しましたが、イルカに怖がることもなく、一緒に泳げて感動してました

We participated as a family! We were anxious because we hardly speak English and my mother is not a good swimmer, but the Japanese instructor Musashi was cheerful and provided excellent support, even swimming with those who couldn't swim. We could borrow float boards for free, so there were no issues.

Of course, since we needed to swim towards the dolphins, it was better to be able to swim to see many dolphins, but even without swimming skills, we were able to see them properly this time. The dolphins were wild and not accustomed to humans, so they didn't come close. I was worried about whether we could swim together with them.

They guided us to a total of three spots, and at the last spot, we were able to see many dolphins up close, and they swam alongside us, which was truly moving. I think they were about one meter away. We were able to take videos with an underwater camera and took lots of photos!

After that, we went to a snorkeling spot while viewing power spots from the boat. The snorkeling was in a very clear area with a depth of about four meters. There, we were able to see a large sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed it.

One thing to be careful about is that the sea is deep, so the seawater temperature is cold. Additionally, it gets even colder on the boat due to the wind. It's better to bring a bath towel or a windbreaker.

Finally, we all danced the hula, and there was an explanation that made us think about ocean environmental issues, so I felt glad to have participated in the tour.

親子で参加しました！
私たちは英語がほぼ話せないことと、母は泳ぎが得意ではないので、不安でしたが日本人のインストラクタームサシさんは明るくて、泳げない人も一緒に泳いでくれサポート万全で、浮きボードも無料で借りられて問題なかったです。
もちろん、イルカのところに人間が向かっていく必要があるので、多くのイルカに会うためには、泳げるに越したことはないですが、泳げなくても、今回はちゃんと見ることができました。
イルカは野生で人馴れしていないため寄って来るという感じではなかったです。
なので、近くで一緒に泳げるのか不安でした。

全部で3箇所のスポットを案内してくれたのですが、最後のスポットではたくさんのイルカが間近で見れて、まさに一緒に泳いでくれて、感激しました。
距離的に1メートルくらいの近さだったと思います。
水中カメラで動画も撮れたし、写真もいっぱい撮れました！
その後、船上からパワースポットなどを見ながらシュノーケリングスポットへ。
シュノーケリングも透明度の高い場所で水深4メートルほどあったと思います。そこでも大きなウミガメを見ることができて満喫できました。
注意したほうがいいのは、海が深いので、海水温度が冷たいです。そして、船上は風が吹くのでさらに冷えます。バスタオルや、ウインドブレーカーなどを持参した方が良いです。
最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊り、海の環境問題を考えさせられる説明もあって、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。

This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.

I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Also, since they can only be seen from a distance, I couldn't tell what they were. Apparently, the tail was visible. It seems like having a telephoto lens or binoculars would be a good idea. It might not be an activity you can fit into a short number of days.

酔い止めの薬の事前服用をオススメします。
あと遠くにしか見れないので小さくて私は分かりませんでした。
尻尾が見えたらしいですが。
望遠レンズ、望遠鏡もあったほうが良さそうです。
少ない日数の中で入れるアクティビティじゃないかも。

I had so much fun! I was able to meet the dolphin teacher right away, and swimming together was incredibly healing. The time flew by, and I wanted to stay much longer. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again. And Julie is the best! It was even more fun because I was with Julie. I'll request again!

楽しすぎました〜
いるか先生にすぐ会えて、一緒に泳げて、とーっても癒されました。
あっというまの時間で、もっともっと長くいたかったです。
ハワイにきたときにはまた絶対参加したいです。
そしてジュリ最高！
ジュリとだったからさらに楽しかったです。
またリクエストしまーす！

The pickup did not arrive even after the meeting time had passed, and when I called Sea Life Park, I couldn't get through because it was outside of business hours. In the end, they arrived about 15 minutes late. The dolphins were very cute and amazing. The photos were sold for $15 each, which felt a bit expensive. Also, since the return shuttle was combined with other time slots, I ended up having about 3 hours of free time after it was over, so I took the bus home.

集合時間過ぎても迎えが来ずシーライフパーク に電話をしても営業時間外で繋がらなかった。結局15分ほど遅れて来た。イルカはとても可愛くて最高でした。写真が1枚15ドルでの販売で少し高い。また帰りの送迎がほかの時間帯の方と合わせる為、終わってから3hほど時間を持て余したのでThe busで帰宅しました。

I was a bit anxious being alone, but Julie was bright and kind in her response. I had wanted to join a dolphin swimming tour for a long time, but I never had a friend to go with me. This time, I came to Hawaii alone for the first time and decided to participate without hesitation. I was worried about not being able to swim well, not having much experience with snorkeling, and not being young anymore, but my strong desire to see the dolphins helped me get through it. Thank you so much to Julie, of course, to the warm Papa, to Brandon who led us, and to Mele who took beautiful photos!

ひとりで少し不安でしたが ジュリさんが明るく優しく対応してくれました。
ずっ〜と前からイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したかったのですが中々同行してくれる友人がいなく、今回初めてひとりでハワイに来ることになり、迷わず参加しました。
ほとんど泳げないこと、シュノーケルを使ったことがあまり無い事、そして若く無い事が不安でしたが、イルカを観たい一心で何とかなりました。
ジュリさんももちろん、暖かいパパさん、リードしてくれたブランドン、綺麗に？撮ってくれたメレさん 本当に有難うございました！

I took a tour bus to the location.
During the bus ride, the guide provided various explanations, making it a fun time.

Also, after arriving, the Japanese staff at the park were very attentive, allowing us to experience everything without any worries.

It's best to wear your swimsuit in advance; you just need to take it off when you get there. A bath towel and a change of clothes are sufficient.

As for the interaction with the dolphins, the instructor does not speak Japanese, but communication through gestures and other means is more than enough. It lasts about an hour, but it was so enjoyable that it flew by.

After the experience, we participated in a dolphin feeding experience (additional fee). We explored the park until it was time to leave. Although it was surprisingly small, we had a great time interacting with birds, watching the sea lion show, the dolphin show, shopping for souvenirs, and dining… it all went by in a flash.

ツアーバスにて現地へいきました。
バスの中では、ガイドさんがさまざまな説明を行ってくれ楽しい時間でした。

また、到着後もパークの日本語スタッフが丁寧に対応してくれ、不安なく体験できました。

水着は予め着用、現地では脱ぐだけ。
バスタオルと着替えがあれば十分です。

イルカとのふれあいですが、

帰りの時間まではパーク内を散策。
意外と狭いのですが、鳥とのふれあい、アシカショー、イルカショー、お土産、食事…とこれまたあっという間でした。

The entire experience was amazing. The crew was friendly, the scooters themselves were fun, and the divers that stayed next to each scooter did such a great job showing the sights and making it fun. Easily a highlight of our trip!

I enrolled in Dolphin Junior High.
All the instructors were cheerful, and I had a great experience!

As soon as the boat set sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and were able to swim close to them.
When we arrived at the next snorkeling spot, we saw five large sea turtles, and we could also watch them come up to the surface for air.

In the end, we all danced the hula and had a fun experience.
The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring!

イルカ中学に入校しました。
インストラクターさんの皆さんが陽気な人ばかりで楽しく体験できました！

船が出港してすぐにイルカの群れを発見し、イルカの群れと近くに一緒に泳ぐことができました。
次のスノーケルスポットに到着し、2回目のスノーケルをすると大きなウミガメが5匹おり、息継ぎをしに海面に上がって来る様子も見れました。

最後は皆でフラを踊って楽しく体験できました。
船にはトイレもあって安心でした！

I was not confident in my swimming skills and was anxious about my stamina, but the instructor provided excellent support. It was clear that they were paying close attention to each participant. The conversations on the bus were also very enjoyable, and we arrived in no time. The dolphins appeared right away! We also got to see many sea turtles. I never imagined I could swim with so many dolphins and sea turtles. Just the amazing location alone was more than satisfying, but it was the warmth of the crew that truly healed me. Especially the instructor, J, who is half Japanese and half Hawaiian, was beautiful. Thank you so much. It became the best memory. There seemed to be many repeat customers, and I completely understand why. With the best ocean and crew, I will definitely come back again! I think there are various reviews out there, but I hope you continue to stay true to your character.

泳ぎが苦手で、体力にも自信が余りなく不安でしたが、インストラクターさんがしっかりサポートしてくれました。
たくさんの参加者ひとりひとりをしっかり目配せしておられるのがよく分かりました。
バス中でのトークもとっても楽しく、あっという間に到着。
イルカ先生、すぐに登場されました！
海カメもたくさん会えました。
こんなにたくさんのイルカと海カメと泳げるなんて。
最高のロケーションだけでももう十分すぎるほど満足なのですが、クルーの皆さんの温かさに何より癒されました。
特に日本とハワイのハーフさんのインストラクター、美人のJさん。
本当にありがとう。最高の思い出になりました。
リピーターのお客様も多そうでしたが、納得です。
最高の海とクルーさん達、必ずまた会いに行きます！！
色んなレビューがあると思うけれど、これからもそのままのキャラクターでがんばっていただきたいです。
