I was nervous at first during my first snorkeling experience. However, I will never forget the excitement and surprise of seeing the dolphins! I want to see those beautiful dolphins underwater again.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、初めは緊張しました。でも、イルカを見た瞬間の感動と驚きは忘れません！美し過ぎるイルカをもう一度海の中で見たいです。

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Spirit of Aloha!
The departing location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. The check-in was fast and after we boarded the Captain gave us a safety briefing and we started the sail.
The appetizers were good, they have a small buffet line with wings, meatballs and dried snacks. The bar has a selection of draft beer, champagne and cocktails and the prices are very reasonable. Watching the sunset in Hawaii listening to good music, cocktails and friends was the highlight of trip. The views from Waikiki are amazing and at this time of the year, after the sunset we still got to sail under the starts and it was very relaxing. Make sure to include this cruise on your next trip to Hawaii!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

It was tough to gather early in the morning, but I heard that the best time to see dolphins is in the early morning, so I persevered.
As a reward for my efforts, I was moved to see so many dolphins! They swam close to us multiple times.
The crew was entertaining and amazing! The hula dance was also fun.
The hamburger after swimming with the dolphins was exceptional!

早朝で集合が早く大変でしたがイルカを見るなら早朝が良いと聞き頑張りました。
頑張ったご褒美♡イルカがたくさん見れ感動！何度も近くを泳いでくれました。
クルーの人たちを面白く最高！フラダンスも楽しかったです。
イルカと泳いだ後のハンバーガーは格別でした！

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

It was quite difficult to find dolphins, but sitting at the front of the boat and searching for them felt like an attraction, and it was fun! Along the way, we were able to see flying fish gliding about 100 meters horizontally! When we finally found the dolphins and jumped into the sea to swim with them, it was exhilarating! There was also a sea turtle floating right next to us, so we got to swim with the turtle too. I learned a lot about the origins of Oahu and had a really great time!

なかなかイルカが見つからなかったのですが、アトラクション気分で船の先端に座ってのイルカ探しも楽しかったです♩
途中100mくらいを水平に飛ぶトビウオを見ることもできました！
イルカが見つかって、海に飛び込んで、一緒に泳げた時は大興奮！
すぐ側にただようウミガメがいたので、ウミガメとも一緒に泳げました♡
オアフの起源など、色々教えていただき、本当に楽しかったです^ ^

The dolphin tour we initially planned was suddenly canceled three days before departure, so I quickly searched online and found this tour. There were similar sailing options, but since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we decided on this tour. I felt reassured that VELTRA confirmed the reservation at the time of booking.

On the day of the tour, it rained in the morning... I thought it might get canceled, but by the afternoon, the rain cleared, and we departed from the beach as scheduled! Once we were out at sea, we set the sails and let the wind and waves guide us... At this point, the refreshing feeling was indescribable! The view from the sea of Waikiki and Diamond Head was also amazing. There was only one other family besides us participating, so we were able to take our time taking photos and videos on board. The taste of beer on the water was the best.

The captain and staff were very friendly, and they provided explanations in Japanese on board.

We thoroughly enjoyed the one-hour sailing. We didn't see any dolphins, but we were very satisfied. (o^－^o)

当初予定していたドルフィンツアーが出発3日前に突然の中止になり 急遽ネット検索し、このツアーにたどり着きました。同じ様なセーリングもあったのですが ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたのでこのツアーに決めました。VELTRAは申し込と同時に予約確定か否かが分かるので安心しました。

当日は朝から雨･･これはcancelになるかと思いきや午後には雨も上り予定通りビーチから出発❗沖に出ると帆を張り風任せ 波任せ･･ここまでくると何とも言えない爽快感ﾃﾞｽ❗海から見るワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド迄の景色も素晴らしかった。参加者は私達の他にファミリーが1組のみ･･船上ではゆったり写真や動画を撮る事が出来ました。海上でのビールの味も最高
キャプテンを始めstaffはとてもフレンドリー 船上では 日本語で説明してくれます。

1時間のセーリングを満喫しました。イルカは見られなかったけど大満足しました。(o^－^o)

I could only see the dolphins for a moment. The Japanese guide was quite unique (not very friendly). Considering this content, I wonder if the price is high...

イルカは一瞬はしか見られなかった。日本人ガイドが独特な方でした（親切ではない）
この内容でこの値段は高いかなと…

I found it a bit unpleasant to be talked to and pushed while feeling sleepy in the morning, but I was satisfied with the enthusiasm for seeing dolphins and actually getting to see them! It would have been better if there were fewer people, though. It felt quite crowded.

やはり朝寝むいなかの喋りと押されたのはちょっと嫌でしたがイルカを見るための熱意とイルカ見れたがみれたことで満足でした！ただ人数もうちょっと少ないと良かったです。芋洗い状態でした。

Swimming with dolphins has always been my dream, and I was finally able to go to Dolphin University this time!! The weather was perfect, and even though I thought it would be cold in October, I was totally fine without a wetsuit! I was so excited on the bus, and when we finally got to the ocean… right after leaving the port, we saw a huge pod of dolphins＼(^o^)／ Everyone came together to chase the dolphins, searching "toward the mountains, toward the sea." It seemed like almost all the dolphins in Oahu gathered that day, with reports of around 200 dolphins present(^^). Both my husband and I agreed that our honeymoon at Dolphin University was the most fun! However, I do regret not buying the photos(´・ω・`).

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、今回念願のイルカ大学に行くことができました!!
当日は快晴で10月に入り寒いかと思ったけれど、ウエットスーツを着なくても全然大丈夫でした！
行きのバスからウキウキで、いざ海に出ると…
港から出てすぐにイルカの大群が＼(^o^)／
皆で一丸となりイルカを追いかけ、「山の方ー、海の方ー」とみんなで探し。
その日はオアフにいるイルカがほとんど集まってくれたみたいで、200頭はいたと言われました(^^)
私も旦那さんも、今回のハネームーンはイルカ大学が一番楽しかった！
ただ、後悔は写真買っとけばよかったー(´・ω・`)

I used this service on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. When I tried to take a selfie, a staff member offered to take a photo for me. However, I felt that the variety of dishes at the buffet was a bit lacking, so I rated it one star lower. The taste was just okay. After finishing the meal, we moved to the upper floor to watch the sunset.

There wasn't much time between the meal and the sunset, and we had quite a bit of time to spare from sunset until we disembarked, but we enjoyed a wonderful time watching live performances and hula!

ハワイに到着した日に利用しました。
スタッフの方はニコニコ、とても感じの良い方達ばかりでした。
自撮りしようとしたら、写真撮りましょうか？とスタッフの方から声を掛けてくれました。
ただ、ビュッフェの品数が少し物足りなかったので☆−1です。味はまぁ、こんなものかなと行った感じです。
お食事が終わってから上の階へ移動し、サンセットを見ました。

食事〜サンセットまであまり時間がなく、日没〜船を降りるまで割と時間を持て余しましたが、生演奏やフラを見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました！

I participated in the afternoon BBQ lunch. Since it wasn't originally a condition to see the sandbar, I accepted that and joined the tour. The tide was about knee-deep, but I was able to see beautiful scenery! I was also glad to see sea turtles, pufferfish, and striped jack. The staff were very cheerful, making it a fun tour! Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is visible! By the way, the food was delicious too.

午後のBBQランチ付き参加しました。
元々サンドバーが見れる条件ではなかったので、そこは納得してツアーに参加しました。
だいたい膝下くらいの潮位でしたが、綺麗な景色が見れました！
ウミガメやフグ、シマアジも見ることができてよかったです。
スタッフさんも凄く明るくて楽しいツアーになりました！
次回は、サンドバーが見えるタイミングを狙って参加したいです！！
ちなみに、ご飯も美味しかったです。

Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the tides, but... it was heartwarming to see what seemed to be the sea turtle we had helped before swimming around the boat. We were able to enjoy a side of Hawaii beyond just Waikiki.

潮の干満の関係で残念ながらサンドバーは見られませんでしたが…
以前助けられたウミガメらしく、船の周りを泳いでいるのを見ると何だかいじらしく思えました。ワイキキだけでないハワイを楽しむことができました。

When we spotted dolphins from the boat, the crew called out, and one by one, we jumped into the sea and swam. At first, I was scared, but the crew member held my hand and pointed out, "Look over there!" Seeing the wild dolphins made me forget my fear. It was so much fun that I wanted to go every day. The joy was beyond what words can express. I absolutely recommend it. The crew members were amazing!

船に乗ってイルカを発見すると、クルーの人の呼びかけで、次々と海に飛び込み、泳ぎます。
始めは怖かったけど、クルーのお兄ちゃまが手を引いてくれて、ホラッ見てと教えてくれたり、野生のイルカを見れてもう怖さもありませんでした。
とにかく楽しくって楽しくって毎日行きたいって思うくらいでした。
文だけでは表せられないくらいの楽しさでした。
絶対に行ってほしい。
クルーの方々もメッチャ最高でした！

The guide was very skilled at storytelling, which heightened our expectations. There were many stories that I had never heard before. The sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the atmosphere, but unfortunately, I didn't see any dolphins.

It seems that a few people who jumped in first were able to see them. There can be a difference in visibility depending on whether you jump in at the front or the back. So, it's necessary to jump in without hesitation, but even so, those at the back were delayed because of the large number of participants. There were about 35 people. Usually, tours have fewer than 10 participants, so I did feel a bit of a wait time.

ガイドの方の話がとても上手で期待感が高まります。
初めて聞くようなお話がたくさんあります。海もきれいで雰囲気は楽しめましたがイルカは見れませんでした。

先に飛び込んだ数人の方は見れたようです。飛び込む先頭と後方の差で見られないこともあるそう。
なので躊躇せずに取り込む必要があるのですが
それでも人数が多いため後方の方は遅れます。
35人くらいでした。
いつもは10人未満のツアーが多いため
待ち時間などもちょっと感じてしまいました。

I wanted to go to the sandbar to take photos and use the afternoon for something else, so I signed up for this tour. It wasn't the best timing, so the water was only knee-deep, but I was glad to get some beautiful pictures. I also got to see a sea turtle! It got very cold when the sun went down, and I was shivering after snorkeling, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold prepare accordingly!

サンドバーに行って写真を撮りたかったのと、午後は別のことに使いたかったのでこちらのツアーに申し込みました。ベストタイミングではなかったので、浅瀬でひざ程度でしたが、綺麗な写真が撮れてよかったです。ウミガメにも会えました！陽が陰るととても寒く、シュノーケル後はガクガクなので、寒がりの方は準備することをおすすめします！

I visited the filming locations of Jurassic World and other movies, enjoyed a boat ride around the fish farming ponds, and explored the jungle in a jeep-like vehicle. It was a fun and surprisingly thrilling activity.

The jungle exploration, in particular, involved driving at quite a speed on bumpy roads, and at times, I felt like I might be thrown off. It was more thrilling than a poorly designed amusement park ride. The driver was a middle-aged woman with impressive driving skills; she drove safely in truly dangerous areas and even made a stop to take us up a mountain path to a secret viewpoint, which was a wonderful experience.

Regarding the jungle exploration, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable with speed, children, or elderly individuals, but it's highly recommended for those who want to enjoy some thrills. Personally, I feel like I want to participate again!

ジュラシックワールドその他映画のロケ地をめぐり、養殖池を船で遊覧したり、ジープのような車でジャングルを探検したり、楽しく、意外にもにもスリリングなアクティビティでした。
特にジャングル探検は、でこぼこ道をかなりのスピードで走り回り、時々振り落とされそうになりながらのドライブで、遊園地のヘタなアトラクションよりスリルがありました。ドライバーは中年女性でしたが、なかなかのドライビングテクニックで、本当に危険なところでは安全運転でしたし、途中下車して10分位山道を登り、秘密の絶景ポイントにも連れて行って下さいましたし、とても楽しく過ごす事ができました。ジャングル探検に関しては、スピードが苦手な方、子供、ご高齢の方にはお勧めしませんが、スリルを楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。私個人はまた参加したい気分です！

I've participated in Dolphin University several times, and I've encountered dolphins every time!

You can change positions to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. If you have time, the boat can stop offshore, and you can also try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

Whether on the bus or on the boat, everyone is always lively and high-energy, making it a lot of fun. When we return to the harbor, we always dance the hula together. At first, it's a bit embarrassing, but it becomes enjoyable, and everyone joins in the dancing.

I want to participate in the dolphin experience again!

イルカ大学、何回か参加しています。イルカには毎回遭遇できています！

ポジションを変えてイルカ、亀エリア、熱帯魚と、見ることが出来ます。
時間があれば、船を沖に停めて、カヌーやＳＵＰにも挑戦できます。

バスの中でも、船の上でも、いつもノリノリ・テンション高くて、楽しいです。
港に帰るときは、いつも皆でフラを踊ります。
最初恥ずかしいけど、なんだか楽しきなって来て、参加者みんな踊ってます。

またイルカ参加したいですね。

It took an hour to travel from the early morning. I participated feeling a bit sleep-deprived, but the guide's positive talk and the wonderful views of the sea and mountains made it feel like we arrived at the West Coast in no time.

We took a boat to the spot. I was worried about seasickness, but surprisingly, it was close to the shore, and the waves were calm.

When I jumped into the sea, it was crystal clear, and I was able to see dolphins right away. Honestly, I didn't expect to encounter so many dolphins up close, so I was truly moved!

This is a tour that makes me want to participate again, so please give it a try. However, it can be a bit cold during this time of year, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.

朝一からの移動で1時間。少し寝不足ぎみで参加しましたが、ガイドさんの前向きトークと素晴らしい海と山の景色であっという間に西海岸に到着。
ボートでスポットまで行きます。船酔いを心配もありますが、意外と岸からも近いため、穏やかな波でした。
海に飛び込むと、透き通っていて、直ぐにイルカに会うことができました。
正直、こんなに間近に、たくさんの群れのイルカに会えるとは思って無かったので、本当に感激しました！
また、参加したいと思えるツアーですので、是非参加してみてください。
ただ、この時期は少し寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをしたほうがいいとおもいました。

This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to try something new, so I joined this tour. The weather was great, and I was able to take some beautiful photos. I also enjoyed snorkeling nearby and had the chance to encounter a turtle, making it an amazing day. Since I went barefoot, it was a bit painful walking on the sand, so next time, I think I'll bring some water sandals.

５度目のハワイで、何か新しいことにチャレンジしたいということで、今回このツアーに参加しました。天気にも恵まれとても綺麗ないい写真が取れました。近くでシュノーケルも楽しめ、カメにも出会えて最高の一日でした。裸足で行ったので、砂を上を歩くときに少し痛かったので次は、海用サンダルを持っていこうと思います。

While on the boat, a pod of dolphins came close and guided the boat. They were so beautiful and cute. However, it was unfortunate that the strong wind prevented us from doing stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. But it was still fun!

船に乗ってたら、イルカの群れが近くまで来て船を先導♥すごくきれぃでかわいかったです。でも、風が強くてスタンドアップパドルとかカヤックが出来なかったのが残念でした(⌒-⌒; )
でも楽しかったです。

It was a great experience sailing with the captain and crew. There were only about 8 other people traveling with us. It was nice and intimate, it was late afternoon. You get dry snacks like crackers and chips and two drink voucher. They even opened up a champagne for us when we told him we are on our honeymoon.

The view was beautiful. Seeing the sail being raised was amazing. It was a very relaxing one hour of our day.

I was very satisfied to swim with dolphins, turtles, and fish! The staff were cheerful and made it enjoyable. I'm also very interested in the manta tour on the Big Island! I definitely want to participate again!

イルカや、カメ、お魚と一緒に泳げて大満足です！
スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しめました
ハワイ島のマンタツアーもとっても気になります！
是非また参加したいです！

There was a mix-up with what we ordered and what we were given, but the manager on duty did an excellent job making it right. Overall, it was a pleasant evening with good food. I would say that the rate is slightly more expensive than what I would expect for the return on the overall entertainment without alcohol.

I participated in October, and while the weather was good, the wind was strong! Because of that, the waves were high and the sea was a bit murky.

After snorkeling, my husband got seasick and couldn't eat much, which was unfortunate. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, it might be safer to take motion sickness medication just in case!

However, we did see turtles, and the sea was beautiful, so I was very satisfied! I want to try again when I come back to Hawaii!

10月の参加でしたが、天気はよかったのですが風が強い！
その為波が高く海が少し濁っていました。

シュノーケリングをしたあと、旦那が波酔いしてしまい、あまりごはんがたべられなかったのがかわいそうでした。
普段酔わない人でも、一応酔い止めは飲んで置いた方が安全かもしれません！

でも、カメさんもみれましたし、海もきれいで大満足です！
次ハワイにきたらまたリベンジしたいです！

I was picked up by bus early in the morning, and then we traveled by boat from the port to the spot. During the briefing, I learned that diving suits can be rented for $20. I decided to rent one just in case, but I think it's a good idea for those who get cold easily to borrow one.

After the briefing, we headed out for dolphin watching, and we were able to encounter dolphins perfectly. When we could get close, we were able to approach just a few meters away. It wasn't for a long time, so I wished I could have swum a bit more.

After that, we went snorkeling to see sea turtles, and there were options for SUP and canoeing. I relaxed on the boat. For lunch, we had hamburgers, drinks, and snacks that we saw at a local supermarket.

The tour went by faster than I expected, and many people experienced seasickness, so it's necessary to take measures like bringing motion sickness medication. They mentioned that opportunities to swim with wild dolphins might become rare, but I think it's not easy to see dolphins at such a close distance, so I definitely want to go on this tour again.

早朝にバスでピックアップしてもらい、その後港から船で移動してスポットへ。
事前説明の際、＄20でダイビングスーツが借りられます。
念のため自分はレンタルしましたが、寒がりな人は借りておいた方がいいかなー位だと思います。
説明の後いざイルカウォッチングへ。ばっちりイルカに遭遇できました。
接近できる時は数m先まで近寄れました
長時間というわけではなかったので、もう少し泳ぎたかったなーと
後はシュノーケリングでウミガメを見に行ったり、SUPやらカヌーやら
自分は船の上でのんびりしていました
昼ごはんは地元スーパーで見かけた？ハンバーガーやドリンク、お菓子
思ったより駆け足であっという間だったツアーでした
結構船酔いする人も多かったので、酔い止め等の対策は必要ですね
野生のイルカと泳げる機会がなくなるかもしれないということですが
なかなかあの距離でイルカを見る事は出来ないと思うので是非また行きたいツアーです

I was able to swim with wild dolphins. It was unfortunate that my younger child was unwell and couldn't participate in most of the activities. The other tour participants were all enjoying themselves.

The waves were high, and it was physically challenging to swim to the pod of dolphins, so those with small children should be cautious.

野生のイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました。下の子が体調不良でほとんどのアクティビティに参加できず、残念でした。他のツアー参加者は皆様楽しんでいました。

波が高く、イルカの群れまで泳ぐのが体力的にしんどかったですので、小さな子供連れの方はお気を付けください。

The male staff member who was in charge from the pickup until our return was overly intimidating and didn’t smile at all. I was disappointed, as I had imagined the energetic female staff member I had seen on TV. I understand that the sea can be dangerous, which is why the explanation was delivered in a strong tone, but my daughter felt intimidated and ended up staying on the boat. When dolphins were spotted, everyone jumped into the water one by one, but it felt forced with shouts of "Go, go!" I think it would be quite scary for small children. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a strong sense of a production line. All the foreign staff were friendly, and they took care of my daughter who stayed on the boat, making jokes and taking photos with her. We did see dolphins, but it didn’t feel like we were swimming with them. I think it depends on the timing. I finally started to feel enjoyment when we moved on to the activities, but it seems we spent too much time with the dolphins, and the activity time ended up being shorter. On the way back, there was no place to change, and the restroom was crowded, so I changed outside with a towel wrapped around me. The bus on the way back was the last stop for our family, but the male guide got off before that. We ended up seeing him off, which is unacceptable. I probably won’t participate again, but if there is a next time, I would prefer a different guide.

ピックアップから帰りまで担当した男性スタッフが威圧感があり過ぎてニコリともしませんでした。
テレビで見ていた元気いっぱいの女性スタッフを想像していただけに残念でした。
海は危険がたくさんなので、説明の口調が強くなるのは分かりますが、娘は萎縮してしまい結局船上に残りました。
イルカが見えると順番に海に飛び込むのですが、行け行け！と強引に飛び込ませます。
小さな子供にはかなり怖いと思います。
レビューにあったように流れ作業感がすごいです。
外国人スタッフはみんな愛想が良く、船上に残った娘を気遣ってくれジョークで笑わせたり写真を撮ったりしてくれていたそうです。
イルカは見れました。が、一緒に泳ぐという感覚ではありませんでした。
タイミング次第だと思います。
移動しアクティビティをしている時にやっと楽しいと感じ始めましたが、イルカに時間を使いすぎたらしく、アクティビティの時間は短めに終了してしまいました。
帰りは着替えるところも無く、トイレも混んでいたのでタオルを巻いて外で着替えました。
帰りのバスは我が家は最後の停留所だったのですが、ガイドの男性スタッフはその前に下車してしまいました。客の私たちが見送る形になり、あり得ないですね。。
おそらくもう参加することは無いですが、もし次があるとしたら別のガイドさんがいいですね。

While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.
