All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I couldn't make it in time to join the meeting on-site, but I received wonderful assistance over the phone! I will trust that and participate again!

現地集合でぎりぎり間に合わず参加出来なかったのですが、電話で素敵な対応をしていただきました！それを信じてまた参加しに行きます！

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。
潜水艦のアクティビティがあるリゾート地は限られますし、海底の神秘を垣間見ることができるのはなかなかできない体験です。
また、日本語の音声ガイドがありますので、英語が出来なくても楽しめます。

You will wait for the shuttle bus at the Hyatt Regency, which will make about three stops along the way before arriving. The submarine does not have a restroom, but there is a restroom on the moving boat, so you can feel at ease. Under the sea, you will visit several points. The view differs depending on whether you are sitting on the left or right, but when there are sea turtles, they will rotate so that both seats can see them.

ハイアットリージェンシーでシャトルバスを待ち、途中3か所位途中停車してから到着します。
サブマリンにはトイレがありませんが、移動中の船にトイレがあるので安心です。
海底では、いくつかポイントを周遊します。左右の席で見えるモノが違いますが、海ガメがいた際は回転してどちらの席でも見えるようにしてくれました。

Last year during snorkeling at Sandbar, I didn't encounter any honu, but this time with the underwater scooter, I was able to see multiple honu and was very satisfied with the photos and videos taken.

昨年のサンドバーでのシュノーケリング時はホヌに会えませんでしたが今回の水中スクーターでは複数のホヌに会え、写真、ビデオも撮ってもらえて大変満足しました

I came to Hawaii on my honeymoon with my beloved husband. There was something I wanted to do when I came to Hawaii: meet dolphins! The dolphin school was so much fun from start to finish. I was able to see wild sea turtles up close, and I also saw a mother and baby whale, but what made me the happiest was swimming with a large group of dolphins!!

I was moved by seeing the dolphins rubbing their bellies together and their courtship behavior live, and how many dolphins came right up to me, as well as their sounds. Everything was so touching.

When I felt the waves rolling on the west coast view from the sea in Hawaii, I kept thinking, "Hawaii is the best!!!" I was really relieved that our guide, Julie, spoke Japanese. During the bus ride, we enjoyed talking about famous spots in Hawaii and the characteristics of marine animals, including dolphins, without getting bored. The explanations for snorkeling were also easy to understand and reassuring.

The photos of the dolphins and us taken by Mike were really beautiful, and I keep looking back at them, remembering the sea of Hawaii. I had the best honeymoon of my life.

I am grateful to the dolphin school! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to enroll in the dolphin school once more♪

私は今回、愛する旦那さんとハネムーンでハワイに来ました。ハワイに来たら、したかったことがあります。それは、イルカに会うことです！イルカ中学の授業は、最初から最後まですごく楽しかったです。野生のウミガメを近くで見ることが出来たし、クジラの親子も見ることが出来たし、何よりもイルカの大群と一緒に泳げたことがとても嬉しかったです！！
イルカ達がお腹を擦り合わせ、求愛行動を生で見たこと、何匹ものイルカが目の前まで来てくれたこと、イルカの声。すべてに感動しました。
ハワイの海から見た西海岸の景色、高い波のうねりを感じたときに、ずっとこう思いました。ハワイ最高！！！
ガイドのジュリーさんが日本語通じる方で凄く安心しました。行きのバスの中ではハワイの有名なスポットや、イルカを含む海の動物たちの特徴など、話は飽きることなく移動中も楽しめました。シュノーケリングをするにあたっての説明なども、わかりやすく安心しました。
マイクさんの撮って頂いたイルカや私たちの写真も凄くキレイで、何度も見返してはハワイの海を思い出します。人生で最高のハネムーンを過ごすことが出来ました
イルカ中学校には感謝しています！次回またハワイに行く機会があれば、イルカ中学校にもう一度入学したいです♪

I'm not very familiar with the climate of Oahu, but I always feel like the wind is strong when I leave Honolulu. This time, especially since it was December, the temperature at Sea Life Park was just warm enough to get into the water, but the strong wind made it feel very cold. It felt like swimming in a pool on a cold day.

Despite the fact that all participants were clearly cold, the program progressed quite leisurely. It might be due to the service, or perhaps they have to provide a certain amount of time for the event, but participants had to endure getting splashed by dolphins multiple times while shivering, and they hardly moved on to the important photo opportunities for kisses and handshakes. We participated with our 6-year-old and 3-year-old, but our 3-year-old gave up before the photo session and couldn't do the kiss or handshake. There were other children in the same situation.

While the instructor was very enthusiastic, I thought it would have been better if they could adapt the program a bit more flexibly considering the cold and the presence of many small children. Our 6-year-old said it was fun even though it was cold, so I think age does play a role.

So, I wouldn't recommend this for those who are sensitive to the cold or for families with small children during the cold season. By the way, the facility does not have hot showers or dryers, so after the event, we quickly changed and bundled up to recover our body temperature.

オアフ島の気候に詳しくはないのですが、いつもホノルルを離れると、風が強い気がします。今回は特に12月だったためか、シーライフパークは何とか海には入れるくらいの気温だけど、風が強くとても寒く感じました。寒い日のプールって感じでした。
そんな中、明らかに参加者全員が寒がっているにも関わらず、プログラムはかなりゆったりと進んでいきました。サービスなのかもしれないし、ある程度の時間催しを提供しなければならないのかもしれないのですが、参加者たちが震えているのに何回もイルカのスプラッシュを浴びなければならなかったり、肝心のキスや握手での写真撮影を全然進めなかったり。うちは６歳と３歳の子どもと参加しましたが、３歳の子は写真撮影の前にギブアップで、キスも握手もできませんでした。うちの他にも、同じ状況のお子さんがいました。
インストラクターの方がサービス旺盛なのはいいのですが、寒がっていて、小さい子が多いとか、もう少し状況によって臨機応変にプログラムを進めてくれればいいのにと思いました。
６歳の子は、寒くても楽しい！と言っていたので、ある程度年齢の問題はあると思います。
ということで、寒い時期、寒さが苦手な方や小さい子連れの方はオススメしません。
ちなみに施設にはお湯が出るシャワーやドライヤーはなく、終了後はとにかく着替えて厚着して体温回復しました。

We woke up early and participated as a family. My 7-year-old son and my wife were moved to see dolphins for the first time. It was my son's first time in the deep sea, and since I was a beginner with a life jacket, I was very grateful for the assistance of the instructor who stayed by my side. Thank you very much.

It was cold when we entered the sea, so it was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, which was available for a fee. The spam onigiri during the first break was delicious. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

I look forward to it again next time.

早起きして家族で参加しました。7歳の息子と奥さんは初めてイルカを見て感動してました。
息子は海の深い所は初めてだったし私は、かなづちでライフジャケット着て初の海だったので、インストラクターの方に側に付いていただいて大変助かりました、ありがとうございました。
海に入ると寒かったのでウエットスーツは有料ですが借りて正解でした。１回目の休憩時のスパムおにぎりは、美味しかったです。又、ハワイに行って機会があったら参加したいと思います
その時は、また宜しくお願い致します。

At the very last moment, a whale appeared.
I wondered if it would show up again.
The moment I tried to go inside the boat,

it spouted!
It appeared.
Thank you, whale.

I couldn't take a photo of the whale.

最後の最後にクジラあらわる。
もうあらわれないかな？
船内に入ろうした瞬間、

潮吹き！
出現。
ありがとう クジラさん

クジラの写真は撮れませんでした。

I was worried about whether I would see any whales on my long-awaited whale watching tour, but I was able to meet many whales.

At first, they were far away, and I couldn't see them up close, so I thought maybe that was all there was. Just as I started to relax and have lunch, I was able to see a whale jumping through the glass! It was from the side, so it was beautifully visible, and everyone on board applauded enthusiastically. So, I realized that even when the sea is calm, we should never let our guard down!

I also participated with my 3-year-old child, and there were plenty of activities, plus meals with rice and noodles that my child enjoyed. There were both paid and free drinks, which was great!

Even after leaving the whales, the scenery, the color of the sea, and the color of the sky were all wonderful, making it a very satisfying tour!

I definitely plan to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

念願のホエールウォッチングで、見れるか心配だったけど、沢山のクジラたちに会えました。

始めは遠くにいてなかなか近くで見れなかったので、もうこのくらいなのかなぁと油断してランチを始めたら、ガラス越しにジャンプするクジラを見ることが出来ました！！それも、横からだったのでキレイに見れて参加者全員拍手喝采でした❇
なので、海面が穏やかでも油断大敵だなと思います！

また、3歳の子どもと参加しましたが、アクティビティも沢山あったし、食事もライスも麺もあったので食べてくれましたし、飲み物も有料や無料があってどちらも良かったです！

そして、クジラたちたちと離れても景色も海の色も空の色も素晴らしいので大満足なツアーでした！

また、ハワイに行くときは必ず参加しようと思います！

It was an experience that is hard to come by in Japan, so I participated. I was really lucky to see a sea turtle! The cruise before boarding the submarine was also very pleasant.

日本ではなかなか出来ない体験でしたので、参加しました。
ウミガメを見ることが出来て、本当にラッキーでした！
潜水艦に乗り込むまでのクルーズも気持ちよかったです。

I was able to encounter a whale! The explanations were thorough, and they were very kind when I forgot something. It was a great experience. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

クジラには、なんとか遭遇できました！
説明もしっかりしてくださったし、
忘れ物をしてしまった時の対応も親切でしたし、
とても良かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

We participated as a couple with our 3-year-old child. I thought it was a very good program, and here are my comments based on that impression.

It's safer to make a reservation for dates that are expected to be crowded, but the cancellation policy states, "100% of the total reservation amount after 00:00 local time two business days before the participation date." Considering that I had to cancel at the last minute due to my period and ended up just watching from the poolside, I think it would have been better to make the reservation right before going to the facility. Also, looking at the availability board on the day, not all sessions are fully booked, so if you plan to spend the whole day at the facility, it might be a good idea to make a reservation at the experience corner in the morning.

Additionally, while it is more expensive compared to typical dolphin interaction experiences in Japan, one of the attractions of this program is that it allows participation at a young age. However, when we actually participated, my 3-year-old daughter seemed terrified of the large dolphin, which approached her with its mouth wide open, making cute sounds while coming closer. She clung to her father, crying out "Scary! Scary!" with tears streaming down her face. As a result, she ended up leaving early, and her father awkwardly participated alone in a team of mostly women, making for a surreal dolphin experience. I feel sorry that her screams might have disturbed the other participants. It might be difficult for my child to enjoy this experience until she is around 5 years old. I noticed other children of a similar age from Western countries in other teams were also crying quite a bit. Parents of children in the same age group should take this into consideration.

You can purchase DVDs and photos, but as mentioned earlier, the only photos available were of the father awkwardly kissing the dolphin with a wry smile, and since you can't preview the DVD (even if you could, it would just be footage of screaming), I decided not to buy it.

Regarding photography, participants have to change and put their belongings in lockers, and you are required to remove not only cameras but also glasses and wedding rings in the pool area, so you can't take any photos or videos. Even wearable cameras like GoPros are completely prohibited. However, if you don't use a locker and can bring your bag to the pool, you can leave everything on the waiting bench in front of the pool. The waiting bench is accessible only to participants, so it is quite safe, and you can take photos right up until you enter the pool. During the experience, it's natural for the photographer to stay far away for the sake of the dolphins, so I think having one person participate as a spectator and take photos from the bench with a zoom lens would be a better approach, considering the risks involved. I felt that the pricing for spectators might have been set with such considerations in mind after participating.

<Lessons Learned>
- Overcome fear of large animals
- Manage health schedules
- It's better to scout the location before making a reservation.

夫婦と３歳の子どもでの参加でした。大変良いプログラムだと思いました、という感想ありきでの以下のコメントです。
混雑が予想される日程は予約をしたほうが安心なのですが、キャンセルポリシーに「参加日の2営業日前の現地時間00:00以降、予約総額の100%」とありましたので、直前の生理でキャンセルもせずプールサイドで見学になったことを考えると、施設へ行く直前に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。また、当日の空き状況ボードを見るとすべての回が予約で埋まるわけではないので、１日この施設で遊ぶつもりなら朝から体験コーナーの受付で予約するのもアリかなと思います。
それと、日本での一般的なイルカふれ合い体験に比べ高額ですが、低年齢での参加が可能なのがこのプログラムの魅力のひとつ。実際に参加してみると３歳の娘に実物の大きなイルカは恐怖でしかないようで、大きく口を開け頭を出してキュッキュと可愛い声で鳴きながら近づいてくるイルカの姿に鼻水を流しながら父親に抱きついてコワイ！コワイ！と絶叫しておりました。結果、娘も途中離脱し、大半を父親ひとり挙動不審になりながら女性ばかりのチームに参加するシュールなイルカ体験となりました。絶叫がうるさく、チームの参加者に不快な思いをさせてしまったと恐縮しています。うちの子は５歳くらいにならないと楽しい参加は厳しいかもしれません。他チームで同年齢くらいの欧米のお子さんもだいぶ泣き叫んでおりました。同年代の親御さんはご配慮くださいませ。
DVDと写真を買えますが、先の通り、苦笑いでイルカとキスをする父親の写真だけが並んでおり、DVDもプレビューできないので（プレビューできたにしてもどうせ絶叫映像なので）購入しませんでした。
撮影について、体験参加者は着替えてロッカーに荷物を入れてしまい、プール内はカメラはおろかメガネや結婚指輪すら外させられますので写真も動画も撮れません。ウェアラブルなGoProなんかも完全にNGです。ロッカーを使わずバッグを持ってプールへ移動でき、プール前の待機ベンチにすべて置いておけます。待機ベンチは参加者しか入れないので安全性は高い上、プールに入る直前まで写真を撮ったりできます。体験中はイルカのためを思うと撮影者は遠くに離れていて当然ですので、ひとりは見学者として参加して、ベンチからズームレンズで撮影するスタイルが今回のようなリスクも踏まえパフォーマンスが良いと思います。そもそもそういった想定の見学者価格設定なのかなと参加してみてから感じた次第です。
＜今回の教訓＞
・大きな生き物への恐怖を払拭しておく
・体調のスケジュール管理
・無理に予約せず下見して参加が良い

We participated as a family of four. It was greatly appreciated that the children's fees were free. We didn't know if we would see whales until we boarded, but we joined with the expectation that if we didn't see any, we could still enjoy cruising on the Star of Honolulu! Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see whales three times. While we couldn't see the whales' faces, we were able to see their spouts and impressive tails, which left both the kids and adults very satisfied.

家族4人で参加しました。子供の費用が無料だったのは大変ありがたかったです。
鯨が見れるかは乗船してみるまでわからないけど、まあ見れなかったらスターオブホノルルでクルージングを楽しむ！という期待感で参加しましたが、ラッキーなことに3回も鯨を見ることができました。
さすがに鯨の顔を見ることはできませんでしたが、潮吹きと立派な鯨の尻尾を見ることができて、子供も大人も大満足でした。

As the title suggests, the beauty of the scenery and the number of marine creatures visible greatly differ depending on where you sit. Inside the submarine, the seating is divided into the right and left rows, and this time, the left row was overwhelmingly better (we were in the right row). However, for us ordinary people who rarely have the chance to explore the ocean, it is undoubtedly a valuable experience. I believe this is one event you should definitely participate in when you come to Hawaii.

タイトルの通り、座る席で景色の美しさや見られる海洋生物の数が大きく異なる。潜水艦の中は右列と左列で分かれており、今回の潜水は圧倒的に左列が良かった（※自分達は右列でした）。ただし、なかなか海の中を冒険する機会がない我々一般人にとっては、貴重な体験となることは間違いない。
是非、ハワイに来た際は参加すべきイベントの１つだと思います。

As soon as we boarded, we had a buffet-style lunch. After finishing, we went out to the deck and felt the wind while heading out to Waikiki. The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, and just that alone made me feel great and glad to have participated.

The long-awaited whales appeared, with a pod of about four spouting water and showing their backs and tails repeatedly.

And then, one finally jumped! It leaped vertically, showing us its white and black mottled belly. Lucky!

During the latter part of the cruise, many participants had returned inside the ship, so it was worth staying outside. It was sudden and brief, so I couldn't take a photo, but it was a whale watching tour that left a lasting impression and was very satisfying.

乗船してすぐブッフェ式のランチ。食べ終えて外のデッキへ出て風に吹かれながら、ワイキキ沖へ出て行くと、ワイキキのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、まずはそれだけでも気持ちよくて、参加してよかったと思いました。

待望のクジラは、四頭ほどの群れが潮吹き、背中や尻尾を何度も何度も見せてくれました。

そして、ついに一頭がジャンプ！
縦に垂直に上半身あたり(？)まで飛んで、こちらに白っぽくて黒いまだら模様のあるお腹側を見せてくれました。ラッキー！

クルージング後半で、参加者の多くは船内に戻っていた時間帯、外で頑張っていた甲斐がありました。突然で、一瞬だったので写真は撮れなかったけど、目に焼き付けて大満足のホエールウォッチングツアーとなりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. However, we had a beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. They were distributing free tickets (without meals) when we got off. We didn't order any meals, but it was possible to order meals on the day of the event.

残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもきれいに見れました。降りる際に、無料の券（食事はつかない）を配布していました。私たちは、食事を申し込みませんでしたが、当日でも食事の申し込みは出来ました。

I signed up at the request of my children. I was worried about my 4-year-old and 6-year-old, but they were able to shake hands with the dolphins. They said kissing them smelled like fish, so they didn't do that (laughs). The dolphin pool was deeper than I expected, and since the kids couldn't touch the bottom, I had to hold them the whole time. We signed up for the first time slot in the morning, and after it was over, we were able to relax by having a meal in the park, watching the dolphin show, and playing on the playground equipment.

子供のリクエストで申し込みました。4歳と6歳の子供たち、大丈夫かなと心配していましたが、イルカと握手出来ました。キスは魚の匂いがすると言ってやりませんでしたが（笑）イルカのプールは思ったよりも深く、子供たちは足がつかないのでずっと抱っこしていました。朝一番の時間で申し込みましたが、終わって、パークの中で食事したり、イルカショーを見たり、遊具で遊んだりとゆったり過ごせました。

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF BOTH AT SUTTLE PICK UP AND ON THE CRUISE. THE MAJESTIC (ATLANTIS) SHIP IS VERY CLEAN AS EXPECTED WITH VERY GOOD CREW MEMBERS. THE NATURALIST EXPLAINED WHAT WHALES ARE DOING IN THE HAWAII AREA. FOR ALL OF MY FAMILY THE SEAS AND WEATHER WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE SIZE OF THIS VESSEL. SEAS WERE ABOUT 3 TO 4 FEET WITH TRADE WINDS AT 15 MPH. SO FOR ALL OF US VERY NICE. REMEMBER THIS IS HAWAII. WARM YES.

I participated in a morning tour without breakfast. It's convenient because you can go shopping in the afternoon after joining the morning tour. However, the tour only had explanations in English, which was very inconvenient. We saw the tails of three whales. The journey took about two and a half hours out at sea.

早朝の朝食なしツアーに参加しました。早朝のに参加すると午後ショッピングに出かけられるので便利です。ツアー自体は英語の説明だけでしたのでとても不便でした。クジラは3頭テール（尻尾）が見れました。海に出て約2時間半くらいの行程です。

It was fun, but it was cold at the location, and the pool was chilly. I was surprised that the photos were too expensive. I hope there is a tour that includes photos.

楽しかったが、現地が寒くてプールに入るのが冷たかった。
写真が高額すぎてびっくりした。
写真付きのツアーがあるといいなと思う。

The staff were very friendly, and I was able to have a great time throughout. I encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and during snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, even touching it.

スタッフの方はとても親切で終始楽しく過ごすことができました。
イルカの群れにも数回遭遇でき、またシュノーケル時はウミガメを触れるくらいの近さで見ることができました。

I participated with great expectations, having gone to bed early the night before and being fully prepared, knowing that I could go snorkeling while watching wild dolphins. We boarded the dolphin-numbered bus and traveled for about an hour to the port, where the guide was very entertaining. Listening to their stories made the time fly, and we arrived at the port in no time. It was mentioned in advance on the bus, but I think wearing a wetsuit is essential. Everyone in the group was wearing one. Once we entered the water and returned to the boat, it was quite cold even with the wetsuit on. There were several sizes of wetsuits available, and they asked for our preferences in advance, so it fit perfectly.

Upon arriving at the port, I first went to the restroom, then put on my wetsuit and boarded the boat. Once we were out at sea, we were able to see a seal first. There was just one, but it was very cute. Then, we finally reached the dolphin point. I was deeply moved to see a pod of dolphins right in front of me. There were probably around 100 of them, surrounding us on all sides. Among the dolphins, there were also baby dolphins.

That wasn't all. We moved to another point and were able to see sea turtles as well. On the way back to the port after snorkeling, the spam onigiri served on the boat was very delicious. I wanted to eat another one. The guide had said in advance, "Dolphin school is strict, so make sure to keep up," but it was not like that at all; the atmosphere was enjoyable throughout, and I had a valuable experience that became the highlight of my trip to Hawaii.

野生のイルカを見ながらシュノーケリングができるとあって、大きな期待を胸に前日は早めに就寝し準備万端で参加させていただきました。イルカナンバーのバスに乗り込み港まで約1時間移動するのですが、ガイドさんがとても面白い方で、話を楽しく聞いているとあっという間に港に到着しました。バスの中で事前に案内されていましたがウエットスーツは必須だと思います。参加者全員着用していました。海に入りボートに戻るとウエットスーツを着ていても相当寒かったです。ウエットスーツは幾つかサイズがあり事前に希望を聞いて用意してくれるのでジャストフィットです。
港に着くとまずトイレに行き、その後ウエットスーツを着て船に乗り込みます。
海に出てから、最初にアザラシを見ることができました。一頭でしたがとてもかわいかったです。そして、いよいよイルカポイントです。イルカの群れを目の前で見ることができとても感動しました。たぶん、100頭はいたと思います。前後左右イルカだらけです。イルカの群れの中には赤ちゃんイルカもいました。
それだけではありません。別のポイントに移動しウミガメも見ることができました。
シュノーケリングが終了し港に戻る途中、ボートで出されたスパムおにぎりはとてもおいしかったです。もう一つ食べたかった。
事前にガイドさんが「イルカ中学はスパルタなのでちゃんとついて来てね」と言ってましたが、特にそんなこともなく終始楽しい雰囲気で貴重な経験ができ大満足で今回のハワイ旅行の一番の思い出になりました。

We didn't saw much of the whales as hoped for, but the skipper plus his mate were entertaining enough to make the tour memorable, also we and other family had practically the entire tour for ourselves.

Team was friendly and professional, with lots of humor.

The entire experience was FANTASTIC! The tour guide was fun, happy and so very informative. He played music, there was plenty of humor and attended to all ages! The boat was clean and loads of fun to be on! We saw a few whales in the distance, saw lots of turtles and even got to swim way out in the ocean as we sailed along! Our 4 yr old son LOVED the boat and couldn't get enough of swimming in the ocean all around the boat! December 2016

All participants were Japanese, and we were fortunate to have a Japanese trainer. We were able to enjoy interacting with the dolphins without worrying about the language barrier. There was also an explanation about a rare dolphin-whale hybrid, which piqued our interest even more. During other times, we were able to see turtles and sharks as well. We could purchase photos and a DVD, which helped us create wonderful memories. The DVD contains footage of all participants from the same session, so it was great that we only needed one since we went as a pair.

参加者全員が日本人で、運よく日本人トレーナーさんに当たりました。
言葉を気にせずイルカとの触れ合いを楽しめました。
珍しいイルカとクジラのハーフの子がいるといった説明もあり、さらに興味がわきました。
ほかの時間はカメやサメなども見ることが出来ました。
写真、DVDも購入でき、良い思い出を残せました。
DVDは同じ回の参加者全員分の映像が収められていますので、２人で行きましたがDVDは一つにしてよかったです。

It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;

However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!

But all the staff members were great♪ Thank you very much!

雨季のホノルルでしたが、天候に恵まれ
楽しい数日間を過ごし、最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
あいにく遭遇できませんでしたが、皆さん書かれているように、自然の生き物ですから仕方ないですね(^^;

ただ最後に、補償の紙をいただきましたが
最終日でしたし
そういう人のためには少しでも返金
もしくは記念のポストカード１枚でもあると
残念感が違うし、今度は見るぞ！という気分にさせるのでは？と思いました。

でも、staffの方はみんな良かったです♪
ありがとうございました

The crew on this trip were excellent! We had the whole boat to ourselves. The captain of the boat went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We saw turtles and also saw some dolphins
In the distance. The Crew were very knowledgable and made the experience very worthwhile! The captain knew a lot about the history of the island and talked us through it, throughout the ride. I would recommend this and will recommend this.
The boat ride was excellent! We really enjoyed the trip and this topped it off!
When we saw the dolphins the driver tried to get as close as possible to them before they swam off. The glass bottom allowed is
To see the Bottom of the ocean which was remarkable. The crew were very helpful and made the experience much better!
They pointed out turtles and dolphins, they explained the usual patterns and they gave us advice on what to see around the island and the best spots to visit.

I don't think there are many opportunities to ride on a submarine. The interior was surprisingly spacious, and from a large round window shared by two people, we could see cute fish. We were also able to see two turtles, which are said to bring happiness if spotted. It was a valuable experience.

潜水艦に乗れる機会なんて、なかなかないと思います。
艦内は意外と広く2人で1枚の大きな丸い窓から可愛いお魚や沈没させて魚の棲家にしているようですが、見られると幸せが訪れると言われるカメを2匹も見ることが出来ました。貴重な体験でした。

It was beautiful underwater although I expected that we would see more coral reefs and fish. It was great to see the wreckages but I was underwhelmed by it all. I am a SCUBA diver and was expecting a bit more.
