All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I was able to meet the dolphin teacher! However, on the day I participated, there were very few teachers, and it felt a bit random. I think the intention was to allow us to meet them as soon as we jumped in, but the wait on the boat was long, and it seemed like many people felt unwell. Being on a stationary boat for an extended period can be a bit tough.

Also, while we were advised to be "quiet," the staff shouted instructions to participants when the dolphin teacher approached. Was it really necessary to be that loud? I participated in another dolphin tour before, and they only used hand signals.

In any case, there were a lot of participants, which made it challenging. Joining alone felt quite lonely.

イルカ先生に会えました！
でも、参加日は先生方が少なく、気まぐれ。
飛び込んだらすぐに会えるようにとの配慮だと思いますが、船の上での待機が長く、
気分が悪くなる人も多かったように感じます。
やはり止まっている船の上にずっといるのは少しきついかも。
また、「静に」との注意をうけておりますが、スタッフがイルカ先生が近づくと
大声で参加者に指示します。そこまで大きな声は必要でしょうか？
以前に別のイルカツアーに参加しましたが、手での合図のみでした。
とにかく参加者が多いので大変。
一人参加はかなり寂しいです。

I participated in the underwater scooter, snorkeling, and sandbar activities, but the underwater scooter was the main focus, with snorkeling and the sandbar as waiting activities. At the sandbar, there wasn't much to do, and it felt both boring and cold, but I think many people felt it was better than getting seasick on the boat. I wish they would consider adding more content to the experience.

水中スクータとシュノーケリングとサンドバーの部妾に参加しましたが、水中スクータがメインで、待ち時間にシュノーケリングとサンドバーといった感じでした。
サンドバーでは特にすることがなく、暇なうえ寒いといった感じでしたが、船上にもどって酔うよりはマシといった人が多かったと思います。
もう少し内容を考えてほしいと思いました。

We went for a premium tour with a large submarine (65 seats). The windows are large but tinted and the view is therefore less clear. Aided by loads of sand that cannot settle by so many submarines' tours during each day, the visibility is really low. The tour includes views of two ship racks and some airplane racks that turned artificial coral reefs. All of this is on a sandy bottom and there is no fish in between the racks. So overall, very little is seen really on those tours. I fully support the decision not to disturb the natural reefs and fish habitats but I think that the tour is overpriced for what one can see on this tour.

The glass bottom boat was a great experience that didnt break the bank. The tour guides were friendly, casual, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended for a chill day out on the water.

This was my first girls' trip to Hawaii. I had to contact them before the day of the tour after arriving, but I overlooked it and realized it just before the pickup time on the day itself. I was very anxious, but when they came to pick me up, I was so happy and relieved.

Finally, we got on the bus and set off! The guide's enthusiasm in Japanese was at its peak! They talked the whole way, and their passion really came through, as well as their earnest desire for us participants to enjoy ourselves. Above all, their love for the dolphins was incredibly evident, and I learned the importance of connecting with them. I also learned a lot about Hawaii, which was very educational. I felt intuitively that choosing Dolphin School was the right decision, especially considering how hard they worked from early in the morning. I didn't think it was noisy at all (laughs). Please keep it up!

And then, into the ocean we went!! It was so moving and thrilling!! I got to meet so many dolphins♡ Thanks to everyone's hard work, I created such wonderful memories. Thank you.

I want to remember the importance of connecting with dolphins and the feeling that we humans are allowed to enter the living spaces of many sea creatures, starting with the dolphins.

I was also very happy to meet many turtles. The final hula was fun too♪

When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely rely on you all. I received so much happiness with smiles all around♡♡ Thank you so much, everyone♡♡

初ハワイ女子旅でした。
現地に着いてから、ツアー参加の前日までに連絡をしないといけなかったのですが…
見落としてしまっていて、気づいたのが当日のピックアップ時間直前。
とても、不安でしたが、ちゃんとお迎えにきてくださった時は、すごく嬉しくて安心しました。

いざ、バスに乗り出発ーーっっ！！
日本語にてガイドさんのテンションもMAX！！
着くまで、ずっと話してて、すごく熱意も伝わり、私たち参加者へ楽しんでもらいたいという一生懸命さも伝わりすぎました。
そして何よりも、イルカ先生への愛が凄く伝わり、心を通わせる大切さも学ばせていただきました。
そして、ハワイのことも色々と教えていただき、とても勉強にもなりました。
朝早くから大変な中、本当に熱心で、イルカ中学を選んで良かったなって直感で思いました。
うるさいだなんて思っていないですよ(笑)
これからも、続けてくださいね(*´∀`)♪

そして、いざ海の中へっ！！
もう、感動！！感激！！
たくさんのイルカ先生に逢えました♡
皆様が本当に一生懸命してくださったおかげで、こんなにも楽しい思い出ができました。
ありがとうございます。

イルカ先生と心を通わせる大切さ、そして私たち人間がイルカ先生をはじめ、たくさんの海の生物の生活の場に行かせてもらっているという気持ちを忘れずにいきたいです。

そして、カメ教授にもたくさん逢えて嬉しかったです。
最後のフラも楽しかった♪

また、ハワイにいく時は、ぜひぜひお世話になります。
ずっとニコニコ笑顔で、幸せもらいました♡♡
本当に、皆様ありがとうございました♡♡

My kids loved it! Would definitely recommend it friends and family!

Although we had been snorkeling before this underwater scooter adventure was very unique. It was so much fun we plan to do this again. We have already recommended this to all our friends.

I signed up for a submarine tour since my friend couldn't go diving! It was really fun to see sea turtles and rays. Also, since the commentary was in Japanese during the time I booked, there were many Japanese people, and we didn't have any issues with manners. The person giving the commentary was also entertaining!

If I had to mention one thing, I chose the bus transfer from the hotel, but I noticed that one of the staff members, who I think was probably a part-timer, was chatting a lot with another staff member, which caught my attention. I thought, "Well, this is a foreign country, so maybe it's normal," but it was a little concerning. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

友達がダイビング出来ないため潜水艦ならと思い申し込みしました！ウミガメやエイなども見ることができとても楽しかったです。また、申し込んだ時間帯は日本語での解説だったため日本人も多くマナー等で困ることはありませんでした。解説してる人も面白かったです！
ただ一つ言うならばホテルからバスの送迎付きにしたのですが、スタッフの方が多分バイトの子だと思うのですが違うスタッフとお喋りばかりしていたのが気になりました。外国だしこんなもんかなーとは思いましたが、少し気になりました。それ以外はとても満足しました！

I participated with my child to try to kiss a dolphin. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and it was so smooth and pleasant. During the waiting time, I felt lucky to be able to watch the show up close, seeing them play with balls and jump around. Not only did we get to kiss and shake hands, but at the end, the dolphin splashed us with its tail, which was fun (laughs). The trainer only spoke English, so I didn't understand anything, but we managed somehow (laughs). Other than that, we had to wait a bit long for the bus back, but we had a great time.

イルカさんとキスをしようと、子供と2人で参加してきました。
初めてのイルカさんにタッチでしたがすごくスベスベで気持ちよく、待ち時間もショーを間近で見ているかのようにボールで遊んだり飛んだりしてるところを見られて得した気分を味わえました。
キスと握手だけでなく、最後にはイルカさんに尾びれで水をぶっかけられて楽しいですよ(笑)
トレーナーの方は英語オンリーだったので何言ってるのか全く分かりませんでしたが何とかなりました(笑)
それ以外は帰りのバスまでちょっと時間が長く待ちくたびれてしまいましたが、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I experienced the Dolphin Swim Adventure, which involves riding on a dolphin. It was about an hour-long experience where we received explanations and played with the dolphins. Including the time for changing after the attraction, you should expect it to take about an hour and a half.

There were Japanese staff members who provided some information in advance about where and when to meet, as well as safety instructions for the attraction. The instructors for the attraction themselves hardly spoke Japanese, but thanks to the prior explanations, there were no issues.

In this course, you hold onto the dolphin's dorsal fin and get pulled for a few meters, and then the dolphin goes belly down, and you hold onto its flippers for a few meters as it pulls you along. You also get to touch the dolphin's belly and give it a kiss. The kids were absolutely thrilled.

The Sea Life Park itself is small, so I think half a day is sufficient. Without the attractions, you might find yourself bored until the pick-up time.

ドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーを体験してきました。一匹のイルカに
乗るコースです。説明を受けたり、実際にイルカと遊んだりして、賞味一時間の体験でした。アトラクション後の着替えを含めると一時間半はかかると思ってください。
日本人スタッフの方がいて、事前に何時にどこに集合とか、アトラクションでの注意事項とか
ある程度説明してくれます。アトラクション自体のインストラクターは、日本語はほぼ話せません。（ただ事前説明のおかげで困ることはないです）
このコースはイルカの背びれにつかまって数メートル、イルカが腹ばいになって、両ひれに
つかまって数メートルイルカに引っ張ってもらいます。
そのほかイルカのおなかを触ったり、キスしたりします。
子供も大喜びでした。
シーライフパーク自体は狭いので、半日もあれば十分だと思います。
アトラクションがないと、送迎時間まで退屈してしまうかも知れません。

The initial itinerary mentioned, "You can enjoy snorkeling and experiential learning, and see the fish living in Hawaii's coral reefs!" However, there was absolutely no snorkeling involved. I had thought that I would be taught how to snorkel and see the coral reefs and fish before playing with the dolphins, so I was disappointed given the high price.

However, the trainer who explained everything was very nice and provided a fun explanation. Here are the details of what we did:

First, we received an explanation from the trainer about the precautions for playing with the dolphins and their characteristics. After that, we went to the beach and learned about sea turtle nesting. We were also taught about the types of marine mammals and fed lettuce to the sea turtles in the facility. Then, we were able to touch, kiss, and feed the dolphins.

While I was satisfied with the opportunity to play with the dolphins, I had expected snorkeling to be part of the experience. Therefore, I think it would be better not to include snorkeling in the itinerary details if that is not part of the activity.

当初の日程詳細では『シュノーケリングと体験学習、ハワイのサンゴ礁に住む魚たちを見ることができます！』とありましたが、シュノーケリングについては全くありませんでした。
私はシュノーケリングも教えてもらってサンゴ礁や魚を見たりしてからイルカと遊べるとのかと思っていたので、値段が高かっただけにがっかりしました。
しかし説明してくれた担当のトレーナーさんはとても良い方で楽しく説明してくれました。
私たちが行った事の詳細は。
まずトレーナーさんからイルカと遊ぶための注意点、イルカの特徴などの説明を受け、その後浜辺へ行き浜辺でウミガメの産卵について学びました。
そして海の哺乳類の種類について教えていただき、施設内にいるウミガメへレタスを餌付け。
そしてイルカを触ったり、キスしたり餌付けしたりできました。
イルカと遊べるという事だけなら満足ですが、シュノーケリングもあるものかと思っていたので、この内容なら日程詳細にシュノーケリングの記載はしない方がいいかと思います。

Taken on a boat in an incredible blue Pacific ocean bay, after a few minutes the crew makes you feel like chilling with humor and smiles. Then time for the scooter, they make sure you'll see the Marine life from up close, and while you're on the boat, they provide gear to scuba dive with the people in the scooters, food and drinks on the bridge, and pictures at the end. A must do!

We participated in the Dolphin Academy with Grandpa, Dad, and our son! (This is a post from Mom, who only signed up.) It seemed tough to gather at 5:30 in the morning, but we could sleep on the bus, and since we returned in the early afternoon, we could go shopping afterward, which seemed just right time-wise!

On the day we participated, we were lucky enough to see dolphins, turtles, and seals, and Grandpa was super excited. He said it was the most fun he had on this trip to Hawaii! He mentioned that next time, he wants to go to Dolphin University. They also take photos and provide the data, so I highly recommend it!

じぃじとパパと息子の３人でイルカ中学に参加しました！（申し込みだけしたママの投稿です）朝早く５時半に集合は辛そうだったけど、バスの中で寝れるし、帰りはお昼過ぎなのでその後も買い物に行けるし、時間的にちょうど良さそうでした！

参加した日は運良く、イルカ、カメ、アザラシを見ることをが出来、じぃじが大興奮したとのこと。今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったと言ってました！次回はイルカ大学に行くとも言ってます。写真も撮ってくれるし、データもくれるし、とってもおすすめです！

I wanted to do something special in Hawaii, so I signed up for this wild dolphin tour. As a result, I had a truly valuable experience! Our guide, Juri, and all the crew members were very kind, and I appreciate how they paid attention to my son, who was the youngest participant. My son was thrilled to see dolphins doing twist jumps from the boat. My husband and I were moved to see dolphins swimming underwater. When our child grows up and is able to snorkel, we definitely want to participate again! Thank you for the wonderful experience.

ハワイで特別なことをしたい！と思い、こちらの野生イルカツアーに申し込みました。
結果、とても貴重な体験ができました！
ガイドのじゅりさんはじめ、クルーのみなさん親切な方ばかりで、最年少で参加した我が家の息子にも気を配っていただき感謝です。
息子は、船の上からツイストジャンプするイルカを見られて喜んでいました。父と母は水中で泳ぐイルカを見ることができ、感激でした。
子供が大きくなってシュノーケリングをできるようになったら、ぜひまた参加したいです！素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

The difference from university is that there are no activities like SUP, and the food (at university, it's a bento? Here, it was potato chips and spam musubi. It was really delicious). Since you can do SUP anywhere, I participated in the middle school program purely to enjoy dolphin swimming.

We were picked up in Waikiki, and during the ride to Waianae, the guide provided explanations. The guide was a bright, athletic woman, and she was really entertaining, making it so that I didn't feel sleepy at all despite the early start. In the middle school program, the dolphins were the teachers, the turtles were the professors, and the guide was like the class representative, with both the guide and us seeking knowledge from the teachers.

With high expectations, we headed out. Waiting for us at the beach harbor was a magnificent catamaran that could hold over 20 people. It was a huge step up from a diving boat that looked like a fishing boat, and it didn't sway at all, so I think even those who are not good on boats would be fine.

When we reached the dive point and jumped in, there were more than ten dolphins just below the surface! It was breathtaking. You have to swim quite a bit to chase the dolphins, so it can be a bit tiring, but with fins, even those who aren't strong swimmers or lack stamina need not worry.

We were in the water for about 30 minutes, and I got to see the adorable sight of dolphins playing with each other, which was both mystical and very healing. While holding my snorkel, I quietly tried to greet them with a high voice saying, "Aloha... Aloha..." (laughs).

After that, we had some free time for snorkeling at another spot, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. Before returning to the harbor, we were also taught hula dancing. All the staff were fun and nice, making it a great experience! Just watching from above the sea would be a waste! I highly recommend this experience if you go to Hawaii!

大学との違いはSUPなどのアクティビティがないことと、ご飯の中身(大学はお弁当？こちらはポテトチップとスパムむすび。すごく美味しかった)。
SUPとかはどこでもできるので、純粋にドルフィンスイムを楽しみたくて中学に参加しました。
ワイキキでピックアップされ、ワイアナエまで向かう間はガイドさんの説明。体育会系な明るい女性の方だったのですが、これがすっごく面白くて、早朝出発でも全く眠くならず。中学はイルカ先生、カメが大教授、ガイドさんは学級委員で、ガイドさんも我々も、先生たちに教えを乞うというスタンスです。
期待を胸に向かいます。
ビーチハーバーで迎えてくれたのは20人以上乗れるであろう立派なカタマラン。漁船に毛が生えたようなダイビング船とは段違い、全然揺れないので船が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
いざポイントについて潜ると、その瞬間水面のすぐ下に１０頭以上の群れ！感動です。
イルカを追って結構泳がないといけないので、ちょっと疲れますが…フィンがあるので泳げない方や体力に自信のない方も心配いりません。
海の中にいたのは30分くらいかな？イルカ同士でじゃれあっている可愛らしい姿も見られたし、なんだか神秘的でもあり、とても癒されました。
シュノーケルくわえながら、そっと高い声で「アロハ…アロハ…」と語りかけてみてました笑
そのあと別のポイントで自由にシュノーケリング。海ガメもすぐそばで見られました。港につく前にフラダンスも教えてもらいました。スタッフみなさん面白くていい人で楽しかった！
海の上から見るだけじゃもったいない！ハワイに行ったらぜひ体験してほしいです！

Unlike diving, you can easily dive down to 30-40 meters and see the blue sea where sunlight doesn't reach. The sight of the submarine emerging from the ocean is breathtaking. The cruise is enjoyable and feels great, so I recommend it for families.

ダイビングと違って、気軽に30-40mまで潜れて、太陽に光の届かない青い海が見れました。潜水艦が海から飛び出してくるところは圧巻です。クルーズも楽しめて気持ちがいいので、家族連れにはおすすめです。

I would love to do this activity again! It was a unique experience and the crew/divers were very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the money!

White sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea, welcoming turtles, and dolphins jumping next to the boat.
I was satisfied even before entering the water♪

The underwater world was beautiful, with sharks, turtles, and various fish.
I was very satisfied.

白い砂浜、透き通る海、出迎える亀、船の横でジャンプするイルカ
海にはいる前でも満足♪

海の中は綺麗で、サメや亀、いろんな魚がいました
大変満足

It was an early morning tour, but our guide was very energetic. Their desire to entertain us was very evident, and the time flew by until we arrived. Fortunately, we were able to encounter dolphins right away. I was surprised at how close they were to the shore. It was challenging to anticipate their movements since they swim quickly, but I was glad to see wild dolphins. After that, we headed to the turtle spot, but they didn't appear for a while. Suddenly, one showed up nearby, and we were able to take great photos. All the staff were wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour.

朝早いツアーでしたが、テンションがとても高いガイドさんでした。でも楽しませようという気持ちがとても伝わり、到着まであっという間でした。私たちは運よくすぐにイルカさんと遭遇することができました。思ってた以上に岸に近くてびっくりしました。イルカさんは早いので先回りしなければならないのが大変でしたが、野生のイルカさんを見ることができてよかったです。その後カメのスポットに向かいましたが、なかなか現れませんでしがが、急に近くに現れいい写真が撮れました。スタッフみなさんはいい人ばかりで、とてもいいツアーでした。

We participated with our 3-year-old child. Meeting at the hotel at 5:30 AM was quite tough for both the child and the parents. I thought we could sleep on the bus, but it was hard to get any rest, and my husband was a bit worn out by the time we arrived.

I was worried that the boat would be like a rubber dinghy based on past photos, but I was relieved to find out it had been upgraded to a large boat (with a restroom)! Once we boarded, we encountered a pod of dolphins within about 10 minutes. My husband and I took turns snorkeling while our child enjoyed watching the dolphins jump and sea turtles from the boat.

When we reached the snorkeling point, my daughter (3 years old) expressed a desire to dive into the sea, so I told her we could go in together. I was very grateful that a guide stayed right by our side the entire time we were in the water.

The guides and photographers were all very energetic, and at first, I was worried about keeping up with their enthusiasm. However, they paid close attention to the participants and provided excellent care, which made me feel reassured.

On our way back to the harbor, we were delighted to see flying fish in front of the boat and spotted sea turtles multiple times, which made us very happy. More than anything, I never knew swimming with dolphins could be so healing!

Since my daughter is still only 3 years old and couldn't snorkel, we couldn't dive together, but I definitely want to participate again when she is old enough to snorkel.

3歳の子連れで参加しました。　朝5時30分ホテル集合が子供も親もかなりきつかった。。。バスの中でも寝れるかと思いきや、なかなか寝かせてもらえず主人は到着までにちょっとばててました。　
船は過去の写真からゴムボートのような船かと思い心配していましたが、大きな船にグレードアップしたとの事で、実際大きな船で安心（トイレ付）！
船に乗ると10分ほどでイルカの群れにすぐに出会え、夫婦で交代でシュノーケルに参加し子供は船の上からイルカのジャンプやウミガメなどを見て楽しんでいました。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行った時、娘（3歳）も海に潜りたいというので一緒に海に入ることを伝えると、入っている間ガイドの方が一人ずっとそばについていてくれとてもありがたかったです。
ガイドさん、カメラマンさん皆様かなり元気で、最初はそのテンションについていけるか心配だったのですが参加者の方々をよく見ていて、ケアもしっかりしていて安心できました。
帰港する際にもトビウオが船の前を飛んでいたりホヌも何度も見れ幸せな気持ちになりましたが、なによりもイルカと泳ぐのがこんなに癒されるとは知りませんでした！　
娘はまだ3歳なのでシュノーケルができず一緒に潜れなかったのですが、シュノーケルができる年齢になったらぜひまた参加したいと思っています。

I was able to see the underwater world of an unknown realm, and it was very moving. My mother, who is in her 80s, was also very happy. However, it seemed that the ladder to get down into the submarine was steep and scary, but the crew kindly supported us.

未知の世界の海底を観ることが出来、とっても感動しました。80代の母も大変喜んでいました。ただ、潜水艦に降りる時のハシゴが急で怖かったようですが、クルーの方が優しくサポートして下さいました

I had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to this tour! The morning was very early, so I was a bit sleepy (laughs), but our guide, Julie, was full of energy and really entertaining.

We spotted the dolphins about five minutes after getting on the boat! I heard that sometimes it can take hours to find them, so we were lucky. I was very satisfied to see so many dolphins!

I was also happy to see a turtle during the snorkeling afterward!

I would love to join again when I come back to Oahu!

Just one thing... if I could share my opinion, the photo prices are a bit high, so I think it would be easier to buy them if they were a bit more affordable!

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢だったのでとても楽しみにして、こちらのツアーに参加しました☆朝がとっても早かったので…眠かったですけど(笑)案内してくれたジュリーさんがとっても元気でテンション高くて面白かったです｡

船に乗って五分ぐらいでイルカ先生を発見!！見つからない時は何時間も探すみたいなので、運が良かったみたい。
沢山のイルカちゃんが見れて大満足☆

その後のシュノーケルでカメちゃんも見れて幸せ☆

またオアフ島に来たら参加したいです☆

一つだけ…意見を言わせて貰うと、写真販売があるんだけど、値段がもうちょい手頃だと買いやすいかと思います！

Great underwater activity, especially for beginners in scuba diving. Extremely easy to do it, extremely awesome while doing it. For experienced guys to scuba diving, this might be boring. For the rest of us this is very cool!! The staff is taking photos of you while being underwater for keeping and sharing these memories forever. Scuba diving is a must to do thing in Hawaii!!

Not many fish the day we went but lots of huge sea turtles The buried wreaks were fun we traveled really close to a lot of interesting underwater features.

This experience was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made the entire experience enjoyable and fun.

After being picked up, the instructions began. It was early in the morning, the microphone was loud, and they were talking about dolphins in a sporty way. I wondered if I could keep up with this vibe, thinking that "Dolphin Middle School" was not just a concept but something they were serious about. However, later I realized that this morning's instruction was all meticulously planned.

The staff were very kind, and it was clear that they truly loved dolphins and marine life, showing respect for them. Although I was sleepy in the morning, I received various guidance on the bus. I learned that dolphins, like humans, can have good days and bad days, sometimes wanting to be left alone, and sometimes approaching us. It might seem obvious when you think about it, but I was able to understand things I hadn't properly considered before.

If I had fallen asleep, I think I would have struggled once on the boat. I also learned for the first time not to splash my fins or make noise. I realized that the reason I hadn't encountered turtles despite swimming many times was due to my own actions. I thought I should become someone who doesn't disturb marine life and can coexist with them.

It seems that the dolphin was in an incredibly good mood that day! I am truly grateful! At first, I thought, "What does it mean to call a dolphin a teacher?" But from the moment I met the dolphin, I quietly shouted in my heart, "Dolphin-sensei!" The dolphin was amazing. The staff were amazing too. I believe that coming to Hawaii and creating this memory is truly the best. This tour is possible because the staff love dolphins. Thank you very much!

ピックアップしてもらった後、
インストラクションがはじまり、
朝早いしマイクの音は大きいし、イル中体育会系とかいってるし、
イルカ中学って、コンセプトだけじゃなくて、本気でいってるんだ…このノリについていけるかしら…
と思っていましたが、
この朝のインストラクションも、すべて綿密に考えられているんだ、ということを後になって思いました。
スタッフのみなさん、とても親切で、なによりもイルカや海の生き物を愛しているんだ、愛していて、敬意をはらっているんだというのが伝わりました。
朝眠いけど、バスの中でいろいろと案内してもらって、
イルカ先生は人間と同じで気分がいい時もあるし、わるい時もあるし、そっとしておいてほしいときもあるし、向こうから近づいてくれることもあるし、と、
なるほど、考えてみれば当たり前のことかもしれないけど、今まできちんと考えられなかったことを、
ちゃんと教えてもらって理解できました。
多分寝てしまうと、船にのってからしんどかったと思います。
また、フィンをバタバタやらない、音をたてない、
というのを初めてしり、
今まで何回も泳いでいても、なかなかカメさんに遭遇できなったのは、自分に原因があるのだな、
もっと海の生き物に、邪魔にならなくて、一緒にいさせてもらえるようになろう、
と思えました。
さて、イルカ先生はどうやらものすごく機嫌のいい日だったようで！！
本当に感謝です！
初めは、イルカ先生って…先生ってなんだよ…
と思っていましたが、イルカ先生に会えた瞬間から、
心の中でイルカセンセー‼︎
と静かに叫んでいました。
イルカ先生最高です。
スタッフのみなさんも最高です。
ハワイにきて、この思い出ができたら、本当に最高だと思います。
イルカを愛してるスタッフのみなさんだからこそ、できるツアーだと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Last year, I had to just observe because I wasn't feeling well, so this year was my long-awaited participation! It was just amazing... Not only did I get to have a class with Dolphin Sensei, but I also swam for a long time with Professor Turtle, and I really think it changed my life. During Dolphin Sensei's class, the snorkeling was a bit fragmented, and I thought it might be physically challenging, but I was able to swim as much as I wanted during the subsequent snorkeling, and it was so much fun! I thought I might go two or three times during my stay, haha.

Oh, and the boat was upgraded, which was great! My mother was happy that it was easier for her to jump in. Our belongings didn't get wet, and it was clean, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries.

去年参加した際、体調が悪く見学になってしまったため、今年は念願の参加でした！
もう、なんていうか最高でした…
イルカ先生に授業してもらえただけでなく、カメ大教授とも長く泳げたし、たぶん本当に人生変わったと思います。
イルカ先生の授業の時はシュノーケリングが細切れ？で、ちょっと体力的に大変かな？とも思ったのですが、その後のシュノーケリングを満足するまで泳げて楽しかった〜♡
滞在中2、3回いってもいいかもと思いました笑

そうだ！船がグレードアップしててよかったです！
母が飛び込むの楽になって喜んでました。
荷物も濡れないし、綺麗で心置きなく楽しめました(^-^)

We reserved shuttle service. We were waiting at the pick up point from 10min before the pickup time. We couldn't find the shuttle. We were waiting and I called to the office 10min later of pick up time. They said that they yelled out my name, but I didn't hear. They just left. Why not calling to me?
So, I took a taxi to get there with my money. BOB tour was canceld, because of lack of people. So, we joined to another group.
Totally lack of responsibility. I don't trust that they yelled out my name at the pickup point.

This was a fun excursion for the kids. You go on a submarine ride about 115 feet down. The tour guide is very entertaining and makes the time go by very fast! He also points out all the fish you are going to see!!

A little while ago, I thought it would be great to see whales, so I signed up for a tour.

On the day of the tour, the weather was nice and perfect for cruising, but the sunlight was so strong that it almost blinded me, haha.

As for the whales, I encountered them about five times, just barely seeing their heads in the distance. I really wanted to see them jump, but I guess that's just a matter of luck.

少し前ですが、せっかくなのでクジラを見てみたい！と思い申し込みました。

当日は天気もよく、クルージング日和でしたが、
日差しが強すぎて目が潰れそうでした笑

肝心のクジラは、遠くに頭が気持ち見える程度に、5回くらい遭遇。
ほんとはジャンプが見たかったですが、こればかりは運なのでしょうがないですね。
