All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

My first time in Hawaii, my first time snorkeling, my first time seeing wild dolphins—everything was a first, and I participated with a mix of excitement and anxiety. A bus came to pick us up right in front of the hotel, and it was about a one-hour ride to the ocean. During that time, our energetic guide shared many fun and interesting stories about Hawaii and the ecology of dolphins. Thanks to her, my sleepy body was fully awakened, and I was getting excited about meeting the dolphins!

Before I knew it, we arrived at the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat, got ready to jump into the water, and set off! Then, we were told that there were dolphins nearby, and we all jumped into the sea! With the signal to "look down!!!", I desperately looked below, and there they were!!! I could see the dolphins swimming beneath us!!! It was breathtaking!

Soon after, more dolphins appeared! We all jumped in again, and with the signal to dive, we saw even more dolphins swimming! I even spotted some smaller dolphins. I learned that baby dolphins can be seen during this season, and they were so small and cute, which moved me once again! Just as I wanted to see more dolphins, it was almost time to leave. As we were about to depart, a large group of dolphins swam right next to our boat! It felt like they had come back to say goodbye to us!!! Everyone was so excited! The guide was also amazed and said she had goosebumps. I was so moved that I almost cried.

Still wanting to meet more dolphins, we all said "Mahalo! Aloha!" to the dolphins and moved on to the next spot to meet the turtle professor. There, we were greeted by stunning scenery. Among the many beautiful fish swimming around, there he was!!! The turtle professor!!!! Swimming gracefully at his own pace, he truly embodied the essence of a professor!!! It was so cute to see him come up for air. Then, I noticed that four turtle professors had gathered together. In the transparent blue sea, the beautiful fish and the swimming turtle professors created such a stunning sight that I found myself lost in the beauty of it all, without a single thought in my mind. It was truly a magnificent view.

The time spent with the dolphins and the turtle professor was so enjoyable that it flew by, but I was really glad to have participated. I silently promised the dolphins and the turtle professor that I would come back to see them again. It became an unforgettable memory.

初めてのハワイ、初めてのシュノーケリング、初めての野生のイルカ、すべてが初めてで、最初はドキドキと不安いっぱいで参加しました。ホテルの前までバスが迎えに来てくれて、海まで約1時間の乗車でした。その間、元気いっぱいのガイドのお姉さんが、ハワイの話や、イルカの生態についてなど、楽しくて興味のある話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。そのおかげで、早朝でちょっと眠かった体が、すっかり目覚めて、これからイルカに会えるんだー！っとテンションが上がってきました。お話に夢中になってると、あっという間に海に到着。さっそく船に乗り込み、海へ飛び込む準備を済ませ、船は出発しました！
すると、すぐに！！イルカ先生がいるとのことで、みんなで海へ飛び込みました！「下見てー！！！」の合図で、必死に下を見ていると、、、来たー！！！イルカ先生達が泳いでいる姿が下の方に見えました！！！透き通ったブルーの中で、イルカ達が泳いでいきました！！！感動でした！
そのあともすぐにイルカ先生登場！！みんなで飛び込み、下見てー！！の合図で潜ると、またまたイルカ達が泳いでいる姿が見えました！！！少し小さいイルカも見えました。この時期は赤ちゃんイルカも見られるそうなので、小さくて可愛いなと、またまた感動しました！！！もっともっとイルカ先生に会いたいと思っていると、そろそろイルカ先生の時間は終了。海を出発しようとしていた時、なんと、イルカ先生の大群が、私達の船のすぐ横を通過していきました！まるで私達にお別れの挨拶をしに戻って来てくれたかのようでした！！！みんなで大興奮！！ガイドのお姉さんも、鳥肌が立ったと驚いていました。わたしも感動して涙が出そうになりました。まだまだイルカ先生と出会いたい気持ちを残したまま、イルカ先生達にみんなで「マハロー！アロハー！」とお別れをし、次は、カメ大教授へ会いに次のスポットへ移動。そこでも、素晴らしい景色が私達を待っていました。綺麗な魚達がたくさん泳いでいる中に、いました！！！カメ大教授！！！！優雅にマイペースに泳いでいる姿は、貫禄があり、まさに大教授でした！！！水面で息継ぎをする姿がとても可愛かったです。そして気づくと、なんと、カメ大教授が4匹集まって来ていました。透き通ったブルーの海に、綺麗な魚達と、カメ大教授の泳ぐ姿、とても美しくて、何も考えずに、その海の景色だけをずっとずっと見ていました。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。
楽しすぎて、あっという間のイルカ先生とカメ大教授の授業でしたが、本当に参加して良かったです。また会いに来るねと心の中でイルカ先生とカメ大教授に誓いました。一生忘れられない思い出になりました。

The pickup was on time, so there was no need to worry. We encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to swim with them for a long time. I think the sea was relatively calm, but there were many people who got seasick. Even if you think you'll be fine, motion sickness medication might be essential. Also, your belongings will definitely get wet. Therefore, your change of clothes and towels will also get wet. I recommend either using a waterproof bag or carrying a large vinyl bag that can hold your bag.

迎えは時間通りで、不安になることはありませんでした。
イルカの群れに遭い、ずっといっしょに泳ぐことができました。
比較的、穏やかな海だったと思うのですが、酔っている方がたくさんいました。
大丈夫だと思っても酔い止め薬は必須かもしれません。
それから、荷物は必ず濡れます。
ですから、着替えやバスタオルも濡れます。
防水加工がしてあるバッグにまとめるか、バッグを入れることのできる大きめのビニル袋の携帯をオススメします。

The underwater scooter allowed us to dive deep into the water, and it was so much fun to see beautiful tropical fish gathering right in front of us. We could also view swimming sea turtles from below, which offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to snorkeling.

I was surprised that the staff took photos and videos for us (which can be downloaded later for a fee online), and they were very attentive, skillfully guiding couples underwater and helping them hold hands.

There was also a female staff member who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. It seemed like there was time for snorkeling as well, but we went by boat to a sandbar in a different location. The sandbar in Kaneohe was indeed amazing.

水中スクーターは水中深く入り、本当に綺麗な海の熱帯魚が目の前にすごく集まって来たのが楽しかったです。泳いでいる水カメも下から眺めることができ、シュノーケリングとは違った楽しさがありました。
びっくりしたのは、スタッフが写真と動画を撮ってくれたのですが（後でネット経由で有料でダウンロードできます）、カップルで参加した場合、二人を水中でうまく誘導し手を繋がせるなどサービス精神に満ちていました。
ちょうど日本語のできる女性スタッフもいて安心でした。シュノーケリングも時間があればできたようですが、私たちはボートで別の場所のサンドバーに行きました。
サンドーは、やはりカネオヘの方がすごいです。

The staff were awesome, casual enough so that everyone felt at ease but professional enough that we both felt safe, heaps of fun, would recommend to everyone.

It is a very special experience to see sharks that closely in the water. But you will get bored very soon since you'll see the same thing for the entire 20 mins.

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable

Wife and I loved this tour. She was nervous going into it but once we got out there and she saw the other two groups go in prior to ours it helped to calm her nerves. The crew was great and very knowledgeable about the area and what we were seeing.

We felt very safe the entire time and thought the water was so blue and clear. Visibility in the cage was about 100ft in either direction.

Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you take something for Motion sickness prior to going out like we did. There were several on the boat who got sick several times while we were stationary next to the cage and a few others that got sick while in the cage.

It was a bucket list item for us and we are so happy we did it. We also got their video package which was $75 for a SD card recording of our time in the cage.

It was a fun program where we kissed dolphins, touched them, and swam together. I absolutely recommend it. It was the most enjoyable part of my stay in Hawaii.

イルカとキス、触ったり一緒に泳いだりと楽しいプログラムでした。
絶対お勧めします。
ハワイ滞在で1番楽しかったです。

I participated in the dolphin swimming tour for the fourth time this time. So far, I've enjoyed a 100% encounter rate. The Hawaiian crew on the boat is lively and makes it easy to connect with them. Next time, I think I will join the manta tour on the Big Island. Mahalo.

今回で４回目の天然イルカて泳ぐツアーに参加しました。現在の処100%の遭遇率で楽しませてもらっています。船のハワイアンのクルー達もノリノリで自然と打ち解けさせてくれます。次回はハワイ島のマンタツアーにも参加してみょうと思っています。mahalo

We participated in the 7 AM tour with transportation included as a couple. There was only one other Japanese couple besides us, and the rest were all foreigners.

When we arrived at the boarding area, we used the restroom on the hill nearby before getting on the boat. There are no restrooms or changing areas on the boat, so you have to change here. Also, before boarding, you need to take off your shoes and put them in a box, so it's better to wear sandals that you don't mind getting dirty.

The instructions on the boat are all in English, so if you can't understand English, you won't know what's being said at all. During our visit, there were no Japanese instructions available, but when entering the cage, they give you simple warnings in English, and they check your gear when you're wearing the snorkel, so I think you can still enjoy it safely even if you don't understand English.

We were divided into three groups of five, and when we arrived at the spot with the sharks, each group was called in turn to put on their snorkels and enter the cage.

I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up throwing up. After throwing up, I felt a bit better, and the sharks came closer (laughs). The boat rocked more after setting up the cage than during the movement. Even my husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up throwing up. There were people who looked exhausted and others who casually threw up, so I think it's best to prepare for seasickness. Also, it's better to go on an empty stomach.

The staff were very friendly and kind, checking on us when we were feeling seasick and giving us tissues after we threw up.

You can see a few sharks from the boat, but when you're in the cage, there are about ten sharks, and it was very exciting! When they come close, you can see their eyes and body wounds clearly. The cage sways, so it's fun to curl up and float while watching. Some people were sticking to the bottom of the cage to take photos.

I was really moved to see the sharks, but the nausea was a bit tough, so I gave it four stars.

送迎付きの7時の部に夫婦で参加しました。
私たち以外に1組だけ日本人がいましたが、その他は外国人ばかりでした。

乗り場に付いたら、乗り場付近の丘の上でトイレをすませてから船に乗ります。船の上にはトイレも着替える場所もありませんので、ここで着替えるしかありません。また、船に乗る前に靴を脱いで1つの箱に入れるので、汚れてもいいサンダルを履いていった方がいいです。
船上で説明を受けますが、すべて英語なので英語が聞き取れない人は何を言っているか全くわかりません。私たちの時は日本語の説明書もありませんでしたが、ケージに入る時には簡単な英語で注意してくれるし、シュノーケル着用時もチェックしてくれるので、英語がわからなくてもそれなりに安全に楽しめると思います。
5人ずつの３グループに分けられ、サメのいるスポットに到着するとグループごとに順番に呼ばれ、シュノーケルを付けてケージに入ります。


酔い止め薬を飲んで行きましたが、結局吐きました。吐くと少し楽になりますし、サメも寄ってきます(笑)。移動中よりケージを設置した後の船の方が揺れが激しいです。この時に船酔いしにくい夫も吐いていました。ぐったりして寝ている人や、クールな顔でさらっと吐いている人もいたので、船酔いする覚悟で行った方がいいと思います。あと空腹状態で行った方がいいです。
スタッフの人は船酔い時に心配してくれたり、吐いた後にティッシュをくれたりと、とても気さくで親切でした。


船の上からも少しサメが見えますが、ケージの中に入ると10匹くらいいて、とても興奮しました！たまに近づいてくると目や体の傷までよく見えます。ケージが揺れるので揺れに合わせて丸まって浮きながら見ていると楽です。ケージの下に張り付いて写真撮っている人もいました。

サメを見ることができて本当に感動したのですが、やはり吐き気が少しつらかったので星4つにしました。

I've been on this tour many times. This early morning cruise did not have activities. Normally there is lei making, hula dancing and ukulele lessons.

Whales are hit or miss. I've seen some fantastic activity from this cruise!

Recommended for all, but be warned the morning cruise will not have the additional activities.

My mom and I are seasoned travelers to Hawaii. We enjoy whale watching but this was our first time on this Waikiki Whale Watch Sail.

Our driver picked us up on time and was courteous and professional.

We sailed on the Honi Olani. It is a 45 passenger boat but for our tour there were only a dozen or so guests. We were given safety instructions and then we headed out to search for whales!

Captain Chad seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the humpback whales and their patterns. He knew how long they would be down and which direction they were headed.

We spotted 2 whales and stayed with them most of the tour. The whales dive down and then come back up every so often for air. We saw the other large whale watching boats but we were closer than them and able to turn quicker and get to the whales when they popped back up.

We also saw green sea turtles, spinner dolphins and flying fish.

The boat has bathrooms on board and snacks were provided. There was fresh orange and apple, chex mix and granola bars. There is a covered area in case of inclement weather. The drinks were free for sodas and $1 or $2 for alcohol.

The crew was great. Chad, Jacob and Chad were more than happy to talk to you about the beautiful Hawaiian Islands and all they have to offer.

Our tour lasted a few minutes longer than expected because we came upon the pod of spinner dolphins. Nobody on board had conflicting plans so we were able to prolong the tour a bit.

Upon arrival to Waikiki our drive was able to drop us at a different location to do some shopping! It wasn't far from our hotel yet it saved our tired feet and legs.

I do recommend this tour to others. It would be great for any age. There were senior and young children alike on our sail. The little ones enjoyed the nets in the front of the boat. And the seniors were able to sit in the covered area to rest. I'll definitely be going out on the boat again on my next visit to Waikiki.

Exactly what it said on the website. We had an amazing time, saw some amazing sharks and even got a DVD of us with the Sharks from one of the deck hands Dawn. Definitely worth every penny.

First of all, the one-way free shuttle from the airport was appreciated, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. The captain changed locations several times and made an effort, but it just didn't happen. I had high hopes since they said they saw them multiple times the day before. However, I did receive a free ticket for the next time, but I didn't see any whales on the second trip either.

まずは空港から片道無料送迎付きは有難かったのですが、クジラには出会えませんでした＞＜　　船長さんも幾度も場所を変え、挑戦してくれたのですがダメでした。前日は何回も見れたとのことだったので期待大でした。でも次回の無料参加チケを貰ったのですが２回目もダメでした＞＜

I participated with my son. I made a reservation online with Veltra from our accommodation in Honolulu. Due to the last-minute booking and the time difference, I confirmed with the local provider and also double-checked by phone. When I confirmed by phone, there was availability for the specified 11 AM slot, but it was ultimately confirmed for the 9 AM slot. I heard from the locals that after that, reservations filled up quickly. The pickup was in a car with a shark design. It took about an hour from the hotel to Haleiwa. From there, we transferred to a boat and arrived in about 20 minutes. The sea was very clear and beautiful. It was my first time seeing so many sharks up close, and it was a truly valuable experience! Additionally, the music from Jaws was playing on the boat, which added to the atmosphere.

息子と二人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在先からveltraさんにネットで予約しました。前日の予約と言うことと時差の関係から、現地にも確認を入れ、念のために電話でも確認。電話で確認した時は、指定の11時に空きがありましたが、最終的に9時枠で確定でした。現地の人からは、その後予約が入り、一杯になってしまったとか？ピックアップは、サメの絵柄の車。ホテルから現場のハレイワまで、約一時間。そこからボートに乗り換え、20分にほどで到着。海は、透明度が高く、とても綺麗でした。実際に、あれだけ多くのサメを間近に見れたのは初めてで、とても貴重な体験が出来ました！また、船上では ジョーズの音楽も流れ、演出もなかなかでした。

We participated in the Dolphin Adventure at the request of my elementary school daughter. We had a valuable experience swimming with dolphins, and both my daughter and I had a lot of fun. However, I felt that the time spent interacting with the dolphins was short for the high price, and it didn't quite meet my expectations.

In the morning, around 8:30, a bus marked "Sea Life Park" came to pick us up from the designated location. It took all the guests with reservations for the 9, 10, and 11 o'clock slots. Since it was a small park, we experienced everything, including shows, sea lions, turtles, and feeding small birds, but we ended up having extra time and felt that the wait until our 11:45 reservation was long.

We left the park at 2:30 PM, so we returned to the hotel close to 4 PM. It would be better if they arranged the pickups according to the program times, but since they gather everyone together for transportation, the time spent at the park can feel lengthy. I think those considering this should plan accordingly and allow for some extra time.

小学生の娘の希望で、ドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加しました。

We participated as a couple with our 2-year-old son. Although he is interested in dolphins, he is still afraid of the water and large creatures. We were told in advance that if he cried too much, we might have to leave to avoid disturbing the dolphins, but on the day of the event, the female instructor was so much louder than my son that even if he cried a little, we weren't asked to leave.

There were several precautions given about interacting with the dolphins, but when the time came, I got too excited and forgot them. However, it was thrilling to be able to kiss and shake hands with the dolphins. Everything was conducted in English (though there were occasional strange Japanese phrases that I didn’t quite understand), but it was fun.

We also had the option to order a DVD. My child still watches the DVD with excitement, saying how much fun it was. There was quite a long wait until the bus came back, so if that could have been about an hour shorter, it would have been perfect.

２歳の息子と夫婦で参加。
子供はイルカに興味はあるものの、まだ水も怖く、大きな生き物も苦手。
大泣きすれば、イルカを刺激するから退場してもらうかもと事前に言われていたが、当日のインストラクターの女性の方が、息子よりも何倍も大きな声で盛り上がっていたので、少々泣いても退場させられることはなかったです。
イルカと触るときの注意をいくつかされますが、実際その時になると、テンションが上がりすぎて忘れてしまったり。でも、キスをしたり、握手したりできて感激でした。
全て英語で行われたので（時々変な日本語を突っ込んでくるが、よく理解できない）、何を言っているかはよくわからなかったけど、楽しかったです。
そして、DVDを申し込めます。自分の写ったDVDを子供は今も、楽しかったね～と言いながら、見ています。
帰りのバスが来るまでに、時間が長くあいているので、それがあと１時間くらい短ければ言うことなしでしょうか。

If you like sharks this is the trip for you. There was plenty of sharks to see. They were mostly 6-8 feet long. They surrounded the cage and even a barracuda came to see us. I felt completely safe in the cage and so did my kids. My daughter(13) was a little apprehensive before getting into the cage but once in there she was fine. The only bad thing was that the water was a little rough so the cage was getting tossed around some but it was all good.

The price is not cheap, but the proximity to the dolphins was closer than I expected, and the time we could interact with them was longer, so we had a wonderful time. However, my husband and I were scheduled for the program at 11:45, but we were instructed to gather at 9:30, the same time as the program starting at 10:30, which made the over two hours we had to wait feel very wasteful. Since Sea Life Park is not that large, it was difficult to kill two hours. I think gathering at 11:00 would be sufficient. Also, I was shocked by the high cost of the photos.

安くはない価格設定ですが、思った以上にイルカとの距離も近く、触れ合える時間も長かったので、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。ただ、今回私と夫は11時45分からのプログラムだったのですが、10時半からのプログラムと同じ9時半に集合するようにとの指示で、11時45分までの2時間以上の時間がとても無駄に感じられました。シーライフパークはそんなに広くないので、2時間も時間を潰すのには苦労しました。11時集合で十分だと思います。あと、写真代が高いのにはビビリました。

a must do experience when visiting Hawaii. excellent staff. have already reccomended this to friends and family.

We've been to Oahu a couples of times and have always done different excursions. By far BOB's underwater scooter was the best one we have ever done! Everything from the pick to the drop off to our hotel was a great experience! Everyone on their team was extremely courteous and friendly. The water scooter itself was such an amazing experience. It was very easy and comfortable to ride the scooters. To be that comfortable and see the beauty of the underwater life was breathe taking. I high recommend not only this excursion but this company of you are looking for a lifetime of amazing memories!

This was my second whale watching experience, and I was able to see them well again this time. My friend, who was on their first whale watching trip, was also thrilled. I considered joining another boat, but after consulting with the staff at the desk, I chose this one with a great view, and it was the right decision. The food was delicious, and the ride was smooth, which was nice.

２回目のホエールウォッチングでしたが、今回もしっかりみることができました。初ウォッチングの友達も大喜び。別の船での参加も考え悩みましたが、デスクの方と相談して、見晴しのよいこちらの方にしましたが正解でした。料理もおいしく、ゆれも少なくて良かったです。

The boat rocked quite a bit.
Maybe it was because we reversed three times and scattered the bait,
but a school of about ten fish came.
It was impressive.
I also filmed a video with an underwater camera.

船はかなり揺れました。
三回リバースしてエサまいた影響か、
10匹くらいの群れがきました。
迫力あります。
水中カメラで動画も撮りましたよ。

My 15 yr old grandson came to visit and I wanted him to have a great time and have memories of a lifetime to take back to mainland! We both had a really great time! Captain Dave and crew were great, helpful, knowledgable, and all had the best sense of humor! I had an issue with video, but Dave was great and quick to make it right. In the end, it wasn't his fault, it was mine! Thanks Dave and crew! It was amazing!

This time, my husband, daughter (a third grader), and I participated in the Dolphin Encounter. It seemed that about half of the participants were Japanese. Because of this, there was an explanation provided in advance by a Japanese person, and the trainer explained things in broken Japanese. So, we didn't have to worry about the language.

Since the observation area was quite far away, we couldn't take many photos or videos. In the end, we each purchased a commemorative photo for $18.

The Sea Life Park itself is not very large, and if you imagine it like an aquarium in Japan, you might be a bit disappointed. The main attraction is interacting with the dolphins, and the rest is just a little sightseeing to pass the time, so I don't think it's a good idea to plan to stay in the park all day.

While I have some dissatisfaction regarding the scale of Sea Life Park (and the admission fee), the interaction with the dolphins became a wonderful memory for my daughter.

今回は、主人と娘（小学3年生）がドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
割合的には日本人が5割位でしょうか… その為事前に日本人の方から説明があり、トレーナーさんは片言の日本語で説明してくれたそうです。 なので言葉の心配はありませんでした。

見学はかなり離れたところからだったので写真やビデオはあまり撮れませんでした。
結局記念に1枚18ドルの写真をそれぞれに購入しました。

シーライフパーク自体はあまり大きくなくて日本の水族館をイメージすると拍子抜けします。 メインはイルカとの触れ合いであとは時間潰しにちょろっと見学程度で、一日中パークにいるスケジュールにはしない方がいいと思います。

シーライフパークの規模（入場料）に対する不満はありますが、イルカとの触れ合いは娘にとって素敵な思い出になりました。

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ、プリンスホテル、イリカイなどは、送迎は不要です。潜水艦へ向かうボードは、ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ付近のビーチの桟橋から出てくるのを知らずでした。
送迎は、15分遅れでした。
で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。
そうです。
桟橋は直ぐ裏のビーチでした。
知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。
到着したときに確認しましたが、後から参加の方は、欧米人が多く、かなりぎゅうぎゅうのように見受けられました。潜水艦ツアーは想像通り良かったです。日系人の日本語で、5歳の子どもには少し早口だったかも。ですが、日本語で助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

My daughter loved it!! Such a great experience for young kids, they get educated, played, touched lovely dolphins. Trainers are experienced and very friendly.

We participated as a family of five, with two children and an infant. My wife and the infant did not go into the cage but observed from the boat plan. You can see the sharks well even from the boat. When the captain threw a mysterious can with a rope into the sea at the shark point, the sharks were attracted to it and gathered around. We were also allowed to throw in the can, so my wife and the kids got to do it several times.

As I mentioned in another review, the cage plan can be quite shaky, so I think it's better for those who get seasick to choose the boat plan and observe from the deck.

夫婦＋子供2人＋乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。
船上からでもサメはよく見えます。船長さんがサメポイントでヒモのついた謎の缶(？)を海に投げ入れると、サメたちが缶におびき寄せられてワラワラと寄ってきます。この缶を投げ入れるのもやらせてもらえるので、妻も子供も何度もやらせてもらってました。

もう一個のレビューで書きましたが、ケージプランは揺れがかなりしんどいので、酔いやすい人はボートプランで船上から見学するのがいいと思います

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.
