This was my first trip to Hawaii. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I hadn't made any specific plans, so I signed up for this tour. In the morning, we had malasadas for breakfast. I was very satisfied to be able to go to a store that was difficult to reach on foot. After boarding the boat, we all offered a prayer for Hawaii, and my spirits were lifted. I instantly felt the Hawaiian vibe. After that, we encountered dolphins and turtles one after another. It was amazing to not only see them but also to snorkel with them; it felt like a double treat. My companions also seemed very happy. I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding, which made me feel even more liberated. The cheeseburgers on the boat were homemade and very satisfying. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was smiling and having fun. I was very pleased with the staff's brightness and the way they incorporated music at key moments, which gradually got us more engaged despite our initial shyness. I highly recommend this tour!
初めてのハワイ旅行。漠然とやりたいことは、イメージしてましたが具体的には決めいなかった所、このツアーに申し込みました。朝は、マラサダで朝食。歩いてはいきづらい距離の店舗にいけて大満足。また、船に乗船後、まずはハワイの祈りを全員でささげ気持ちは高ぶるばかり。一気にハワイ気分に。その後、ドルフィン・タートルと立て続けに遭遇。見るだけではなく、一緒にシュノーケリングできるなんて、二度おいしいってかんじでした。同行者も幸せそうでしたよ。また、体験してみたかったスタンダップパドルにも挑戦。新しいことをしたことで更に開放的にななりましたよ。船上でのチーズバーガーも手作り感満載で満足です。最後は、全員でフラダンス。気持ちも盛り上がって、みんな笑顔で楽しかったです。スタッフの皆さんの明るさと要所要所に音楽をいれてくれて、遠慮がちな私たちもじょじょに盛り上がってくる演出に大満足です。オススメのツアーですよ。

Recently, my family of three participated in this experience. My daughter is six years old and in her last year of kindergarten.
I was worried about whether my daughter would be able to swim with the dolphins, but the Hawaiian staff member stayed by her side the whole time and helped her swim with the dolphins. My worries disappeared, and we were able to participate with peace of mind. I hope my comment can help those who are considering participating with their children.
From the moment we saw the dolphins, our excitement skyrocketed! Many dolphins swam back and forth, and they came so close to us. It was incredibly healing. It was the best experience. I highly recommend it!
先日、家族3人で参加させていただきました。
娘は6歳で幼稚園の年長です。
娘がイルカと泳げるのか不安でしたが、ハワイアンスタッフの御兄さんが付きっきりで一緒に泳いでくださり、娘もイルカと泳ぐことができました。不安も吹き飛び、安心して参加することができました。子供との参加を迷ってる方のお役にたてればと思いコメントしました。
イルカを見た瞬間からテンションアップ↑↑
沢山のイルカが何度も往復してくれて、すごく近くで泳いでくれました。とても癒されました。最高です。お勧めです♪

If you are taking your own transportation to Oahu Parasailing, leave early in order to be on time. It is easy to get lost or stuck in traffic. The staff is very friendly! If you get motion sick then you should take some Bonine or Dramamine before. You will be on a boat with 3-5 other groups. You might get motion sick waiting for everyone to take their turn parasailing. The boat Captain and riggers are really nice. They will prepare you and give you all the rules and safety precautions before. They take safety very seriously here so don't be offended if they yell at you for not following the rules. It's their job to make everyone feel safe and get everyone back to shore in one piece. This is very fun for everyone! It is a nice boat ride and parasailing tour. Do not bring expensive cameras out, you will be splashed by the waves. You won't be soaked after the boat ride, but it’s not worth the risk of ruining your expensive camera. They offer a photo package for 30 dollars. I purchased the

It's a program where you can play with dolphins. It's wonderful that children from the age of one can participate. There were also Japanese instructors available who provided support in Japanese.
You can purchase photos for $16 each, but that is a bit expensive.

Continuing from last year, I traveled to Hawaii again this year. My friend and I agreed to join this tour once more.
The reason is that my friend had experienced seasickness during last year's trip and is participating again for a revenge tour. I didn't have that issue, but the content was so appealing that I definitely wanted to join again.
I'm really glad I participated again! I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close while snorkeling, and the excitement is beyond words. It's a moment that completely blows away the stress of Japanese society (laughs). This time, I was able to swim even closer to the dolphins than last year. The staff's consideration to ensure we didn't miss seeing the dolphins was also evident.
We changed locations and headed to an area with tropical fish. We received bread to take with us into the sea. When we threw the bread, an incredible number of tropical fish gathered around us. It was another amazing experience. There were also plenty of activities like kayaking.
There were families with children on the same tour. The staff stayed close to the children in the water, and I happened to be floating nearby, so I could see that they were well taken care of, allowing both the kids to enjoy themselves and the parents to feel at ease.
Overall, I was very satisfied to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish up close, and it was a great tour where the staff's consideration for this experience was clear.
I want to participate again!
昨年に引き続き今年もハワイへの旅行。今年もこのツアーに参加しようと、一緒に行った友人とは合致の意見でした(^^)

It took us just under an hour to arrive from the hotel. When we got there, there was a show featuring animals and dolphins that can only be seen here. It was a lively show, quite different from what you'd find in Japan.
As our time to interact with the dolphins approached, we gathered and moved to the pool where the dolphins swim. Since we were participating with our one-year-old child, we chose a course that mainly involved just touching the dolphins. To be honest, the pool wasn't very clean... Also, when my child splashed water, we received a warning. Fortunately, the Japanese staff explained everything in both English and Japanese, so we didn't have any issues, but we couldn't bring our own cameras. If you want photos of your interaction with the dolphins, you have to purchase them. By the way, it was $20 for four photos.
After the program, we had just under two hours of free time, but there weren't many places within the facility to pass the time, so we ended up feeling a bit bored. I wish we could have left a little earlier...
That said, my son was thrilled to touch the dolphins, and it was a great experience! However, I wouldn't recommend just going to Sea Life Park without participating in a program!
ホテルから約一時間弱で到着しました。着くとここでしか見られない動物やイルカのショーがやっていました。日本とはまた違い、ノリが良い感じのショーでした。
イルカと触れ合う、自分が参加する時間が近づくと集合し、イルカの泳ぐプールに移動します。
今回、1歳の子供との参加だったので、主にイルカを触るだけのこちらのコースにしました。正直、プールはキレイとは言えません…。そして、子供が水をバシャバシャすると注意を受けました。日本人スタッフが英語と日本語で説明してくれるので困りはしませんでしたが、自分のカメラは持ち込み禁止の為。イルカと触れ合った写真が欲しい場合は強制的に購入となります。ちなみに、4枚で20ドルでした。
参加したプログラムから2時間弱の自由時間がありましたが、施設内に時間を潰せるような場所が充実している訳でもなく、暇を持て余してしまいました。もう少し帰りの時間を早めて頂ければなぁ…と思いました。
とはいえ、イルカに触れられた息子は喜び、良い経験ができました!
しかし、シーライフパークにプログラムに参加せずにただ行くのはオススメしません!

I participated because I really wanted to swim with wild dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.
On the day of the event, we departed in a car with a license plate that said "IRUKA" to pick us up at the hotel. We stopped for a light breakfast at the famous Leonard's for malasadas. It was delicious!
After arriving at Waianae Harbor, we finally got to go study with the dolphins after a morning meeting (prayer to the gods)! The dolphins greeted us with great excitement, and soon a turtle also made an appearance!
Although I couldn't swim up close with the dolphins, I was thrilled to encounter so many dolphin families! Additionally, I challenged myself to kayak with my mother! We had a wonderful time.
The handmade hamburgers for lunch were also very tasty.
I purchased a DVD for participants, and it was beautifully done, as expected from a professional cameraman. The music was relaxing Hawaiian music, making me feel like I was enjoying a gentle breeze on a Hawaiian beach. The price of the DVD was a bit high.
I came with my mother this time, but next time, I want to come again with my husband, who stayed home for work!

I purchased the DVD for participants, but the slideshow video didn't have any music (it's unclear whether it couldn't play or if it wasn't included), which was a bit disappointing. Honestly, the price for the DVD felt high considering its quality.

I’m scared of roller coasters. My wife also isn’t fond of roller coasters or heights, but since we came all the way to Hawaii, we thought it would be a waste to leave without trying anything. So, we signed up for it despite our fears. Once we actually tried it, our bodies were securely strapped in, and there was absolutely no fear. We were able to enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii, and my wife and I were overjoyed, saying, “I’m glad we did it! It wasn’t scary at all!” The staff were fun, and we had a truly wonderful and enjoyable experience, leaving us very satisfied. One downside is that the boat can sway depending on the wave conditions over the ocean, which might cause a bit of seasickness. My wife took motion sickness medication from the start, so she was fine, but I thought I would be okay and almost felt a little queasy. However, even with that, the overall experience was fantastic, and I was really satisfied.
ジェットコースターも怖い私です。家内もジェットコースターや高いところが苦手なのですが、せっかくハワイにきたのに何もやらずに帰るのはもったいないと、怖いの半分申し込んだのですが、実際やってみると、体はちゃんと固定され全く怖さはなく、ハワイの美しい、空と海を堪能でき、家内と『やってよかったね!全然怖くなかったね!』と大喜びです。スタッフも楽しい人で本当に素晴らしい楽しい体験ができて大満足でした。一つ難をいえば海の上の往復波の状態によって船が揺れるため、スコシ船酔いになりかける可能性があるということです。家内ははじめから酔い止めの薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、私は大丈夫とタカをくくっていたのですが、スコシ酔いそうでした。しかしそれを含めても素晴らしいのが大きくて本当に満足でした。

As for the sunset... unfortunately, clouds covered the sky just when it was supposed to be perfect, so we couldn't see the beautiful orange colors...
However, cruising while feeling the wind and looking at Waikiki was truly the best!!

I don't know when I'll be able to go to Hawaii next, so I wanted to do something that can only be done while I'm young, like skydiving or parasailing. My friend, who is not good with heights, said she could manage parasailing, so we went with that. After it was over, she said it was super fun and that she was glad we did it! We were picked up and went straight to the boat. There was no one who spoke Japanese, and the explanations were all in English. I understood that we needed to put our bags and shoes under the seats by watching the gestures. While the staff was explaining, my friend asked me to put her bag under my seat, and as I was doing that, I was scolded by the staff who said, "Look!"
When I tried to take a picture of the scenery with my phone camera while the boat was moving, I was told, "Don't let go!" I was fine with preparing for the jump because I carefully watched the other customers who were going before us and mentally prepared myself. When it was our turn and we were getting ready, my friend tried to move the belt she had around her legs down to her waist, and the captain scolded her, saying, "Under your thighs!" They also told us where to hold on, and even though the staff couldn't speak Japanese, they seemed to know the necessary words, so I think there's no need to worry.
Before we jumped, they asked if we wanted to take pictures, and I requested it. When we got back to shore, they said something like, "If you had fun, please give the captain a tip," and everyone gave about $20. We didn't have small bills, so we handed over 2000 yen, and the captain, who had been receiving $20 from other customers with a straight face, smiled and looked happy. The photos taken were given to us on an SD card, and there was a shop right near the dock for this tour where we could check the photos on a big screen and pay $30. They took about 30-35 pictures per group with a DSLR camera, including a few shots of the ocean while we were flying. While waiting to make that payment, I noticed a worn-out album at the counter. It seemed to be a Japanese guide explaining the entire activity with photos and descriptions from departure to return. It looked like it was meant for people who come to the shop to sign up directly. I thought it would be nice if they prepared another copy so we could read it in the pickup vehicle. The photo shows someone flying in the distance as seen from the boat.
次いつハワイに行けるか分からないので、若いうちにしか出来ない事、カツ、ハワイでしか出来ない事で、スカイダイビングかパラセイルだったのですが、一緒に行く友達が観覧車もダメな人で、パラセイルならなんとか大丈夫だろうと言うのでパラセイルに。そんな友達も終わってから超~楽しかった♪やって良かった♪と言ってました★ピックアップしてもらい直ぐにボートへ。日本語が話せる人はおらず説明はずっと英語。ジェスチャーを見て荷物と靴は座席の下に入れる等分かりました。説明をスタッフがしている最中に、友達に荷物を私が座ってる座席の下に入れてと言われ、下に入れてると「ミテ!」と説明してるスタッフに注意をされました。ボートが走行中に携帯のカメラで景色を写真に撮ろうとしたら「ツカマッテ!!」とボートから手を離すなと注意されました。どうやって飛ぶ準備をするのか等は、先に飛ぶお客さんの様子をシッカリと見て学習して心の準備をしたので大丈夫でした。私達の番が来て装着して準備をしている時に、友達が足に通したベルトを腰の下に移動させようとしたらキャプテンに「モモノシタ!」と注意されました。持つ所も「シタ」と注意をされ、スタッフは日本語は話せなくても必要な言葉は知っているようなので心配はいらないと思います。飛ぶ前に写真を撮るかと聞かれ頼みました。岸に着いた時に「楽しかったらその分キャプテンにチップを渡してくれ」というような事を言われ皆20ドルぐらい渡してました。私達は細かいドルが無かったので日本円で2000円渡すと、他のお客から無表情で20ドル受け取ってたキャプテンが笑顔になって喜んでました。撮られた写真はSDカードで渡され、船着場の直ぐ近くにこのツアーの店があり、そこの大画面に表示させてちゃんと撮れてるかチェックしてくれ30ドル支払います。一眼レフのデジカメで、一組あたり約30~35枚とってくれます。飛んでる最中の海の景色も数枚入ってます。その支払いを待っている最中にカウンターを見ると、ボロボロなアルバムの様な物が・・・それはこのアクティビティーを分かりやすく出発から帰るまで全部を写真と日本語で説明してる日本人向けの物でした。どうもこの店に来て直接申し込みをする人用のようです。が、もう一冊用意してピックアップの車の中で読めるようにしてくれたらいいのになと思いました(^^;写真はボートから見た先に飛んでる人です。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I participated on the third day.
The dolphins were incredibly cute!!
It was truly healing.
The activities included:
★ Touching the dolphins
★ Kissing the dolphins
★ Riding on the dolphins' bellies and swimming together
Even my husband, who isn't great with animals, was fine with it.
They also took photos for us. The expressions on our faces in those photos were truly wonderful! I was smiling in a way I didn't even know I could (laughs). I thought, "I can make that face!" The photos cost $16 for one, and $30 for two. It was a great deal if you bought them in bulk.
There were also Japanese staff members.
Sea Life Park feels like an aquarium, but it's not a very large facility, so I think it's a place to enjoy the shows and interactions with the dolphins.
I believe it will be a lifelong memory!

This was one of the tours I was looking forward to on our honeymoon in Hawaii, where we could swim with dolphins. I had experienced seasickness on other tours, so this time I took motion sickness medication purchased locally. The boat was large, and on the day we participated, there were about 25 people, but only 2 or 3 seemed to be feeling sick. We managed to avoid seasickness.
Jumping into the water for snorkeling from the boat for the first time was thrilling because the ocean was very deep, but it was so clear that we could see all the way to the bottom. Snorkeling among a pod of wild dolphins was incredibly moving. We were also fortunate to encounter turtles and seals. Additionally, there was a fun atmosphere with opportunities to feed fish from the boat and live ukulele performances. The guide really engaged with us, making it more memorable than any other tour.
For lunch, the homemade hamburgers were very delicious. They took photos of our snorkeling activities, which we could buy at the end. We didn’t purchase any, but many other guests did. I definitely want to recommend this to friends if they have a chance to come to Hawaii. Of course, if we have the opportunity to come again, we will definitely repeat this experience.
今回新婚旅行で初めてのハワイでイルカと一緒に泳げると言う事で楽しみにしていたツアーの一つでした。
他のツアーでは船酔いを経験したので、今回は現地購入した酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船はおっきくて参加した日には25人くらいでしたが酔っていた人は2,3人くらいでした。私達は船酔いにならずにすみました。
初めての船からの飛び込んでのシューノーケリングは海がとっても深くてドキドキしたけれど、とっても透き通ってたので海の底まではっきりと見ることができました。野生のイルカの群れの中でのシュノーケリングはとても感動しました。イルカだけではなくカメやアザラシにも出会うことができて良かったです。その他には船の上から魚に餌にあげたりウクレレの生演奏があったりととっても楽しい雰囲気でした。案内をしてくれたお姉さんが話をもりあげてくれて他のどのツアーよりも印象に残りました。
お昼は手作りのハンバーガーがとてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケリング最中の行動をカメラで写真をとってくれていて最後に買えるようでした。私達は買いませんでしたが多くのお客さんが、購入されていました。
友達にもハワイにくるチャンスがあったら是非進めたいと思います。もちろんまたくる機会があれば私達も、リピート確実です。

The pickup bus for the transfer is clearly marked with "Dolphin University," making it easy to find.
I had pre-ordered the breakfast malasadas, and the staff picked them up for us to enjoy on the boat.
We arrived at Waianae Harbor in about an hour from Waikiki!
During the ride, the bus provided explanations about dolphins, safety instructions for the boat, and also guided us through sightseeing spots.
There was no time to sleep on the bus; it seemed like they wanted us to be alert so we could swim as soon as we arrived.
After arriving at the harbor, we switched to the Island Princess and set off!
Once on board, we immediately sang a chant for safety and offered fresh flowers to the sea, performing an 'ehomai' ceremony.
Then, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located.
We were very lucky on the day we participated, as we quickly encountered a dolphin known as "Spinner Dolphin," who showed us many spins and jumps.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even though it was June, it was a good decision to rent one since the wind was cold after getting out of the water. Even if there’s no wind on land, it can be windy on the water, so I recommend it for those who are sensitive to cold.
My husband is not a strong swimmer, but they took good care of him. He could hold onto a rope and be pulled along.
There were also young children in early elementary school participating.
After that, we moved to another location.
We swam with Professor Turtle and tropical fish.
At that time, they provided bread as fish food, and many fish gathered around when we fed them. It was really fun.
You can also try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking! Participation is not mandatory.
Stand-up paddleboarding seems to require good balance, so those who struggle with balance might find it difficult.
The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious. If you don’t like cheese, you can request it without cheese in advance.
There were also drinks like water and warm tea available, along with some snacks.
After lunch, we had hula dancing. At first, I felt a bit shy, but by the end, I was dancing happily and energetically.
(My husband was dancing enthusiastically from the start.)
There were about two people who got seasick, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it’s advisable to take medication beforehand.
In case you feel like you might vomit on the boat, they provide a bucket called the "Aloha Bucket."
(It seems that vomiting in the restroom can cause clogs and lead to bigger problems later…)
送迎のピックアップバスはイルカ大学って書いてあるから、わかりやすいです。
朝食のマラサダは事前に注文済で、スタッフが取りに行って、船の上で食べました。
ワイキキから1時間程でワイアナエハーバーへ到着!!
その間バスの中はイルカの説明や船の上の注意事項の他に、観光名所も案内してくれました。
バスの中は寝る暇はありません。着いたらすぐ泳げるように頭を起こしてくれているみたいです。
港に到着後、アイランドプリンセス号に乗り換えて、出発!!
乗船後、さっそく安全を祈りチャントを歌い生花を海に捧げ、エホマイを行います。
そして、イルカのいるポイントまで移動。
私たちが参加した日はすごくラッキーで、すぐにイルカ先生こと「スピナードルフィン」と遭遇。スピンをしてジャンプをたくさん見せてくれました。
10ドルでウェットスーツをレンタルできます。6月だけど、海から上がると風が冷たいので借りて正解でした。陸上が風が吹いてなくても、海上は吹いてたりするので寒がりの方にはお勧めです。
私の夫は泳ぐのが苦手なのですが、ちゃんと配慮して頂きました。ロープにつかまっていれば引っ張って行ってもらえます。
小学校低学年のお子さんも参加していました。
その後、更に場所に移動。
カメ教授とトロピカルフィッシュとも一緒に泳ぎました。
その時に餌となるパンをくれます。餌付けするとたくさんの魚が寄ってきます。すごく面白いです。
スタンドアップ・パドルとシーカヤックも体験できます!強制ではないです。
スタンドアップ・パドルはバランス感覚が重要のようで、苦手な人は苦手かも…。
お昼ごはんのチーズバーガーもおいしかったです。チーズ苦手な人は事前に言えば、チーズなしにしてもらえます。
飲み物は水や温かいお茶もありました。スナックも出ました。
昼食後はフラダンスです。最初は恥ずかしいとも思いましたが、最後の方はノリノリに楽しく踊れました。
(私の旦那は最初からノリノリで踊ってました)
船酔いになっていた方も2人位いたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要です。事前に飲まれていく事をお勧めします。
万が一、船上で吐きたくなったら「アロハバケツ」と呼ばれるバケツを貸してくれます。
(トイレで吐かれると詰まったりして、後々大変なようです…)

I participated in the 130m deluxe slide, and before joining, I was worried about whether it would be scary to go up to the height of a 40-story building. However, it was much better than I expected, and I actually felt like I wanted to float even more—it was so enjoyable.
The view of the Hawaiian sea and the streets of Waikiki from above was a sight that I rarely get to see, and it became a wonderful memory. The staff member on the boat took pictures with a digital camera and sold the SD memory card (it was $30 when I went). I paid $50 including a tip.
Since you will be moving on a small boat, I recommend taking proper measures against seasickness before participating.
デラックスライドの130mのものに参加したのですが、参加する前は40階建ての高さまで上がるのって怖いのではないか?という不安がありましたが、思ったよりも全然大丈夫で、むしろもっと浮かんでいたかった、という気持ちになるぐらい気持ちよかったです。
空の上から見るハワイの海やワイキキの街並みなど、なかなか見れない光景も良い思い出になりました。
ボートに同乗しているスタッフのお兄さんがデジカメで写真をとってくれて、SDメモリーカードごと売ってくれます(私の時は$30でした)。私はチップを含めて$50払いました。
小さなボートで移動するため、船酔い対策はしっかりした上で参加されることをおすすめします。

Once we entered, there was a long wait until the show started. Since we went on the day of our arrival, I ended up feeling sleepy towards the end of the show.
We had to go up in turns to get our food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit, and there wasn't much to do, which felt like a waste of time.
It might be nice for those who want to enjoy the show leisurely, but considering the quality of the food, I thought it was a bit pricey, even with the strong yen.
入ってから、ショーが始まるまでが長く、到着日に行ったので、ショーの終わりの方は睡くなって、しまいました。
料理も順番に取りに行くのですが、私たちの席は最後の方だったので、かなり待たされ、ずっとする事もなくダラダラで、時間が勿体なかったです。
のんびりショーを見たい人だったらいいかもしれないけど、料理の内容を考えても、円高でもちょっと高いなぁと思いました。
Thank you for attending the Starlight Luau! We are truly sorry to hear that our service during the luau did not meet your expectations. Please understand that we guide our meals in order. Based on your feedback, we will strive to provide a smoother experience in the future. Thank you for your valuable comments.

I participated with a friend. I was really looking forward to it before joining, and it exceeded my expectations on the day. I was able to see many wild dolphins for the first time, and I also got to swim alongside sea turtles right in front of me. Even for those who are not good at swimming, the staff are there to watch over you, so it's very reassuring! This is an activity that you can't experience in Japan, and both the wild dolphins and the staff were very friendly, making it a highly satisfying experience. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.
友人と参加させて頂きました。
参加前からとても楽しみにしており、当日参加してみて期待以上でした。
初めて野生のイルカ先生をたくさん見る事も出来ましたしウミガメも目の前で見ながら一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。泳ぎが得意でない方でもスタッフの方が見守って下さるので安心です!!
日本では体験出来ないアクティビティで野生のイルカ先生はもちろんスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで大満足の体験となりました。
ハワイにまた行く機会があれば絶対参加したいと思います。

My daughter is almost six years old, and I thought this activity would be memorable for her, so we decided to participate. However, I mistakenly set the alarm wrong and woke up just 15 minutes before the meeting time. I called the tour company, but they said they were fully booked for the summer vacation, and it was impossible to reschedule for another day. In a panic, I got ready and took a taxi to the location, and it seemed we passed the tour bus and arrived first. We managed to join the group and participate.
The dolphin encounter time was short, but we got to touch the dolphins and received kisses, which made my child very happy. The pool water was a bit cold, though. The area isn't very large, so the time we spent there was sufficient, and we were able to see the dolphin show as well. I think this is a recommended activity for families with small children.
娘がもうすぐ6歳でこのアクティビティなら、そろそろ記憶に残るだろうと思い、参加しました。
が、・・・・・なんと目覚ましのセットを間違え、目が覚めたのは集合15分前。ツアー会社に電話するも夏休みで予約が一杯な為、他の日への振り替えは無理とのこと。大慌てで準備し、TAXIで現地に向かったところ、ツアーバスを追い越したようで、先に到着。何とか合流し、参加することができました。
スタッフの皆さんにご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターの時間は短かったですが、イルカにタッチし、キスをされ、子供は大満足。ちょっとプールの水が冷たかったかな。
園内はそれ程広いわけではないので、滞在時間は十分で、イルカのショーを見ることもできました。
小さいお子さん連れのファミリーにはお勧めのアクティビティだと思います。

Depending on the day, you might encounter dolphins right after setting sail, but on the day I participated, it seemed the wild dolphins were in a different spot, and we had a hard time finding them. However, the staff patiently coordinated and even changed the activity schedule to take us to a location where the dolphin pod was, and in the end, we were able to swim with over 30 dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute!
Since they are wild dolphins, you never know when you'll encounter them, but it is truly moving when you get to swim with them. On the way to see the dolphins, we also encountered wild turtles, and just sitting at the front of the boat allowed us to enjoy the scenery! The staff were cheerful and really uplifting.
After swimming with the dolphins, it was cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit. There were also small girls participating, and the staff provided excellent support, so they had a great time! Of course, we were able to observe the dolphins as well. It's an emotional experience, so I highly recommend it for families and couples!
日によっては出航してすぐにイルカに遭遇できる時もあるようですが、私が参加した日は野生のイルカが普段と違うポイントにいたようでなかなか出会うことができませんでした。
でも、スタッフの方が根気強く連携を取り、アクティビティーの予定を変えてまでイルカの群れがいるポイントまで連れていって下さり、最終的には30匹以上のイルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
赤ちゃんのイルカもいてとってもかわいかったです♪
野生のイルカなのでどのタイミングで出会えるか分かりませんが、一緒に泳げた時は本当に感動的です。
イルカに会いに行く途中でも野生のカメに遭遇したり、船の先頭で座っているだけでも景色を楽しむことができました!スタッフのみなさんも明るくてとっても元気がでます♪
海でイルカと泳いだ後は寒かったので、水着の上からはおれるものを持参するのがよいと思います。
小さな女の子も参加されていましたが、スタッフが手厚くサポートしていたのですごく楽しめていました!
もちろんイルカも観察できていましたよ♪
感動的な体験ができるので、ご家族にもカップルにもお勧めです☆

We participated as a family of four, including our 5-year-old and 9-year-old sons. During our dolphin watching tour in Guam, we felt somewhat unsatisfied just watching dolphins from the boat. That's why we were really looking forward to "swimming with the dolphins" this time. Our strong sons, who mastered snorkeling at the age of four and have often played with fish in overseas waters, dove into the sea without any hesitation, despite the staff's concerns! On this day, we couldn't get close to the dolphins, and we desperately chased them around at the staff's signals. It was quite challenging... However, when we saw the dolphins swimming right beneath us, we were moved. Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, whether they come close enough to touch is a matter of luck. We wished we could have seen them up close and heard their cries, but we look forward to next time. We also encountered about four turtles. For those with small children, you can enjoy watching dolphins from the boat, but opportunities to swim with them are rare. If you're considering having your child try snorkeling, I recommend buying a MY mask and practicing in the bath (that's how our kids mastered its use) to prepare for the real experience. It should be a great experience!
5歳&9歳の息子を含む家族4人で参加しました。グアムのイルカウォッチングツアー参加の際は、ただ船の上からイルカをみるだけで何となく物足りなさを感じていました。それだけに、今回は『イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!』と楽しみにしていました。4歳からシュノーケルをマスターし、度々海外の海で魚と戯れてきたスイミングにも通うたくましい息子達は、スタッフの心配をよそに難なく海へダイブ!!この日はなかなかイルカに近づけず、スタッフの合図であっちこっち必死にイルカを追いかけました。それがなかなかハードで・・・。でも、イルカが自分達の真下を泳ぐ姿を目にした時は感動しました。野生のイルカが相手なだけに、手が届きそうな距離まで近づいてきてくれるかは運次第ですね。もっと近くで見たかった&泣き声を聞きたかったなどありますが、次回へ期待します。カメも4匹程遭遇しました。小さなお子様連れの方、船上からでもイルカの姿を見て楽しむ事が出来ますが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐチャンスはそうありません。もし、我が子にシュノーケルに挑戦させたいとお考えでしたら、MYマスクを購入してお風呂で特訓(我が家の子供達はこうして使い方をマスターしました)して本番に備えてみて下さい。良い体験が出来るはずです!

I was energized by meeting the dolphin teacher! I could really feel the staff's love for the dolphins and their passion for Dolphin University.
However, I was a bit put off by the final DVD sales... Also, the quality of the images attached to the email after returning home was disappointing, especially since I was satisfied with the content.
イルカ先生に会えて元気をもらいました♪
スタッフの方のイルカに対する愛情とイルカ大学に対する情熱をひしひしと感じました。
ただ、最後のDVDの販売はちょっと引きました・・・。
そして、帰国後のメールに添付してもらっていた画像の粗さ・・・内容は満足だっただけに残念です。
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to meet Dr. Dolphin on the day of your visit and that you received some energy from the experience.
Regarding the sale of DVDs, our photographer captures underwater photos that are difficult for customers to take themselves, as well as the nature of West Oahu and scenes from the boat, which we offer for sale to those who are interested. Additionally, after your participation, our guide sends a thank-you note along with a few photos from that day. Please note that these photos are sent via email, so their size is smaller. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the prestigious Dolphin University when you visit Hawaii again.
この度は名門イルカ大学にご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。ご参加いただいた日はイルカ先生に会うことができ、元気をもらっていただけたようで私達スタッフもとても嬉しく思います。
DVDの販売については、お客様自身で中々撮ることが難しい水中写真や西オアフの自然、船の上での様子などをカメラマンが撮影させていただき、ご希望の方に販売させていただいております。
また、ご参加後に担当のガイドより感謝の気持ちをご挨拶状として、その日の写真数枚と一緒に送らせていただいていますが、こちらはメールでの送信のため写真のサイズは小さくしております。この旨、ご理解いただければ幸いです。
またハワイにお越しの際には是非、名門イルカ大学への再入学をお待ちしております。
