I participated in a semi-private lesson with my 11-year-old child. The description states "children who can understand Japanese from age 5 and above," but the application form only displayed a pricing option for "adults aged 14 and above," which raised the question, "Can children participate?" When I inquired by phone, I was told that "for group lessons, we require participants to be 14 years or older." I think it would be better if this information was presented more clearly.
There are Japanese staff members at the office, so you can inquire in Japanese if you have any questions. The lesson coach is a foreigner and does not speak Japanese fluently. However, during the lesson, they provide instructions in simple English and also use Japanese for commands like "right" and "stand up." I think it's okay even if you're not good at English, but it might not be suitable for those who are looking for complete Japanese support.
The lesson content is very kind, and at first, they push out the board at just the right timing, so you can stand on the board relatively quickly. My child doesn't have great athletic ability, but by the third wave, they were able to stand up and had a lot of fun.
I thought the price for the two-hour lesson was a bit high, but since they teach with great care, I would recommend it for complete beginners. For subsequent lessons or for adults only, I think group lessons would be fine.
You cannot bring valuables, but they sell a CD-ROM with lesson photos for $30 afterward.
11歳の子供とふたりでセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。
説明に「5歳以上の日本語が理解できる子供」と書いてあるのですが、申し込みフォームには「14歳以上から大人」という料金選択しか表示されず、「子供も参加できるのか?」という疑問があり電話で問い合わせをしたところ「グループレッスンの場合は14歳以上を求めている」ということでした。もう少しわかりやすい表示があればよいと思いました。
事務所には日本人スタッフがおり、わからないことは日本語で問い合わせをすることができます。レッスンコーチは外国人で、流暢に日本語を話す、というレベルではありません。しかしレッスン自体は簡単な英会話と、「右」とか「立ってー」とかは日本語で指示してくれます。英会話が苦手でも大丈夫だと思いますが、完全に日本語サポートを求めるかたにはむいていないかもしれません。
レッスン内容はとても親切で、最初はちょうどいいタイミングでボードを押し出してくれるのでわりとすぐボードの上に立てるようになります。子供もあまり運動神経がいい方ではありませんが、3回目くらいの波から立ち上がることが出来てとても楽しんでいました。
2時間のレッスン料金としてはすこし高いと思いましたが、とても親身になって教えてくれるので、まったく初めて、という方にはおすすめします。
2回目以降や大人だけだったらグループレッスンでもいいと思います。
貴重品は持っていけないのですが、レッスン写真を撮ったCD−ROMを1枚$30であとから販売してくれます。

It depends on the luck of the day, but this time we couldn't get close to the dolphins very much. However, the staff really wanted us to meet the dolphins since we had come all the way, and they tried several times, which resulted in us encountering the dolphins. On the way back to the shore, a baby dolphin came close and spun right in front of us, which got the kids very excited.
その日の運にもよりますが、今回はなかなかイルカに近づけませんでした。しかし、スタッフの方たちがせっかくきてもらっているからなんとしてもイルカにあってほしいと何度もトライしてくれた結果、イルカに遭遇できました。岸に帰る途中は、子供イルカが寄ってきて、目の前でスピンをするなど非常に子供たちは興奮していました。

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).
I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!
Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!
This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!
家族5名(大人2・子供3)で参加しました。
小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました!!
船上でのダンス、美味しいチーズバーガー、フラダンスのレッスン・・・とにかく大満足のツアーです!!
我が家のHAWAII旅行1番の思い出になりました!!

I visited Hawaii for the first time and participated in what is considered a classic dolphin tour, and I was surprised by how much entertainment the tour offered. The staff were all very cheerful, fun, and kind. I was moved when they explained that the most important thing is to "have fun!!"
For someone like me, who usually works busy days in Tokyo, it felt like my rigid mindset was being loosened.

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!! The height is the same as the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower…! Well… if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best. Just be prepared if you're not a fan of heights, though it's not that bad for me. People with acrophobia should think carefully (laughs). Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the guy take pictures for you. Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎ It might be worth experiencing at least once.
景色を見る余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃスリリング!!!
最高の高さは東京タワーの大展望台と同じ…!
まあ…海外ならではの経験を求めるならコレはベストだよ。
ただ高い所は嫌いじゃないけどあんまりな~…な人は覚悟した方がいい。
高所恐怖症の人はよく考えて(笑)
酔い止めは必ず!あと、写真やビデオカメラは波の荒れ方によっては撮影不可能だから30ドル用意してお兄さんに写真を撮ってもらうのがいいですよ。
チップも忘れずに。いい写真撮れてた◎
一度は経験してもいいかもね。

I was truly thrilled to be able to touch the dolphins! Sea Life Park may not be very large, but the location overlooking the ocean is wonderful, and if I had more time, I would have loved to relax and gaze at the sea. There were frequent shows happening in various pools, so I felt like I was running towards the cheers. I wish I could have spent a bit more time there.
One disappointing thing was that we participated in the Dolphin Adventure, but we weren't informed that there were two pools. My mother and sister were waiting with a camera at the main pool, but we ended up in the back pool. It would be great if spectators could also join the pre-briefing.
The prices for photos and DVDs were a bit high, which was painful. However, the cuteness of the dolphins made it all worth it. My sister definitely wants to participate next time.
イルカに触れられて本当に感激でした!
シーライフパークはけして広くはないのですが、海を臨むロケーションは素晴らしく時間があればのんびり海を眺めていたいくらいでした。あちこちのプールで頻繁にショーをやっていたので歓声の上がる方へ走っていくといった感じでもう少し時間が取れれば良かったかな。
ひとつ残念だったことに、私たちはドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加したのですがプールが二つあることを知らされておらず、母と姉がメインプールでカメラを用意して待ち構えてたにもかかわらず…私たちは裏のプールに。
事前説明会には見学者も同行されると良いですね。
ちょっと高めの写真とDVD購入は痛かったです。
でも、イルカさんたちの可愛さで帳消しです。次回は姉も是非参加したいとのことです。

Following the Haleakalā Mountain star and sunrise trek on Maui, I participated in an active tour at sea, a wild dolphin and sea turtle cruise with Dolphin University. Under a cloudy sky, we boarded the shuttle bus early in the morning. The tour group consisted of families spanning three generations, and one participant, Mr. I, mentioned he was joining for the third consecutive day.
As we headed to our destination, we received explanations from Ms. Y, who had a vibe reminiscent of Miwa from Dream Come True. By the time we arrived at the dock, the sky had cleared, and we enjoyed a light breakfast of warm malasada before boarding the boat, where everyone prayed for the safety of our voyage with the crew.
As we approached the secret spot of Dolphin University, the crew guided us to shallow waters, bringing along over 100 wild dolphins they had spotted. Securing our buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, we donned our snorkels and masks and jumped into the sea. I jumped in ahead of my wife, intending to reassure her, but I got distracted by the crew's calls to "look down!" and forgot about her as I peered into the water. The dolphins swam around us, brushing against our bodies through the wetsuits. Sharing the ocean with wild dolphins was an emotional experience. My wife was completely absorbed in the underwater world with our daughter.
Any fear vanished in the excitement of encountering the dolphins. We expressed our gratitude to the dolphins that played with us for a while before heading to the sea turtle spot. There, we were fortunate to encounter more than five sea turtles. Mr. I, who was skin diving, went down to the ocean floor, getting really close to the turtles. Additionally, we fed the fish underwater, and my wife was having so much fun that we worried she wouldn’t return to the boat. Afterward, everyone enjoyed various marine sports, and the crew's attentiveness ensured a safe experience for everyone, from children to seniors! After finishing our cheeseburger lunch on the boat, we began our journey back. We wrapped up with ukulele performances and commemorative photos before passing the baton to those starting their day slowly.
The tour with the prestigious Dolphin University was a great success, fitting for our 32nd wedding anniversary, as evidenced by the smiles of my wife and daughter! I definitely want my dolphin-loving younger daughter, who couldn’t join us due to work commitments, to experience the wild dolphins and sea turtle snorkeling cruise!
マウイ島でのハレアカラ山のスター&サンライズトレックに引き続き、海でのアクティブなツアーとしてイルカ大学の野生のイルカ、海亀クルーズに参加です。曇り空の中、早朝から迎えのバスに乗り込みます。ツアーの方々は若い方から3代に見受けられる家族連れまでで、一緒に乗り込んだI
さんはなんと3日連続参加とのことです。
ドリカムの美和さん調のYさんの説明を受けながら
目的地に向かいます。船着き場に着くころには晴天の空が広がり、温かなマサラダで軽い朝食を頂き、船に乗り込みクルーと一緒に全員で航海?の安全をお祈りします。
イルカ大学丸秘のスポットに近づくころにはクルーの目が探した100頭以上の野生のイルカを引き連れて浅瀬に誘導します。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットで浮力を確保し
スノーケル&水中眼鏡を装着し、足から海に飛び降ります。
妻の先に飛び降り、安心させる筈がクルーの下を見て!下を見て!という声に妻を忘れて海を覗き込みます。イルカの群れが泳ぎ回り、スエットスーツ越しに身体に当たってきます。野生のイルカと同じ海中を共有する体験は感動的です。妻は娘と一緒に海の中を我を忘れてのぞきこんでいます。
恐怖感はイルカとの遭遇の感動で消え去ったようです。
ツアーの方々の興奮する姿にも驚くことなく暫く一緒に遊んでくれたイルカに感謝しながら次は海亀スポットに向かいます。ここでも運良く5匹以上の海亀に遭遇することが出来ました。スキンダイビングのIさんは海の底まで潜り、海亀のホントの近寄っています。また、海中の魚達への餌やりもあり、いつまでたっても船に戻って来ずに心配するくらいに楽しんでいたのが妻です。その後は各自マリンスポーツを楽しみ、子供からシニアまで安心して体験出来るのはクルーの気配り・目配りがあるからですね!船上でのチーズバーガーランチを終え帰路に付きます。ウクレレの演奏や記念撮影を終えて、ゆっくりスタートの方々にバトンタッチです。
32年目の結婚記念日にふさわしい名門イルカ大学のツアーは大成功なのは妻と娘の笑顔が証明しています♪

This was my fifth dolphin tour in Hawaii, but it was my first time enrolling in Dolphin University. Swimming with the dolphin instructors is truly enjoyable! No matter how many times I experience it, I am always moved! Fortunately, my family has great chemistry with the dolphin instructors, and we can always swim with large pods. Dolphin University, as expected from a prestigious institution, offers outstanding service! Starting with morning malasadas, we had a lot of fun with dolphins, honu (sea turtles), marine sports like paddleboarding and kayaking, and hamburgers on the boat—this was the most fun I've ever had! I plan to re-enroll in the prestigious Dolphin University next time! Thank you for the wonderful time. P.S. I received the group photo via email!
ハワイでのイルカツアーは今回で5度目ですが、イルカ大学に入学するのは初めてでした。

幸い、私達家族はイルカ先生と相性が良く、毎回必ず大きな群れと一緒に泳ぐことができます。

I had a lot of anxiety on my first overseas trip, but with Yuriko-sensei, a Japanese teacher at Dolphin University, I was able to confidently enter the water and swim, even though it was my first experience.
As soon as we got on the boat, we spotted dolphins swimming! After learning about the prayer ceremony and the rules, we quickly entered the sea. It was a bit cold in mid-March, so I rented a wetsuit for $10. It felt more like swimming above where the dolphins were rather than swimming with them. But it was incredibly exciting! We also swam in another spot where there were lots of small fish close enough to touch with our hands, and we did activities like kayaking.
The hula dance we all did at the end was the best memory of my time in Hawaii. I highly recommend you go!
初めての海外旅行で不安もたくさんありましたが、イルカ大学は日本人のゆりこ先生がいるので、初めての経験でも安心して海に入って泳ぐことができました。
船に乗ってすぐにイルカが泳いでいるのを発見!お祈りの儀式やルールを教えて頂いたら早々に海に入りました。3月中旬で若干寒かったので、10ドルでウェットスーツ(つなぎ)を借りました。イルカと泳ぐというよりは、イルカが泳いでいるところの上を泳いでいるという感じでした。でもかなり興奮します!別の場所(小さな魚が手で触れるほど近いとろこにたくさんいる所)で泳いだり、カヤックなどをしたりしました。最後に参加者のみんなで踊ったフラダンスはハワイでの最高の思い出です。是非行ってみてください!

The location is very good. On the day before, I passed through the places I visited during a half-day tour, and I felt lucky to see the beautiful scenery twice. My third-grade child was thrilled with the show, and I was excited to enjoy a performance that was close enough for adults to appreciate as well. It was a program where we could touch dolphins, but the pool in March was cold, and my child gave up halfway. Since they are short, it was a bit sad to see them submerged up to their shoulders, but they were very happy to have actually touched the dolphins.
ロケーションがとても良いです。前日に半日観光に行ったときに通ったところを通って行って、景観が良いところを2度も通れたので得した気分でした。小学3年生の子供はショーには大喜びで、大人の私も楽しめるぐらい近いところでのパフォーマンスは興奮しました。イルカに触るプログラムでしたが、3月のプールは寒くて子供が途中でギブアップ。背が低いので肩まで浸かっているのはかわいそうでしが、実際に触れたことにとても喜んでいました。

I joined the tour hoping to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable. The waves were high, and it rained occasionally, making it quite cold.
Fortunately, when we reached the dolphin point, we spotted a pod of wild dolphins, and cheers erupted on the boat. As we entered the water and approached the dolphins, they swiftly swam past us. The dolphins were so fast, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was exhilarating! After confirming that everyone had seen the dolphins, we got back on the boat, and once again, we chased after them. The captain offered, "Shall we go in again?" but due to the cold, no one was eager to raise their hands.
After enjoying delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain, we went snorkeling. We spotted whales in the distance a few times during our journey, but unfortunately, I could only see their spouts.
Because of the high waves, we snorkeled at a point inside the breakwater near the port, but the water was cold and murky due to the rain, so we couldn't enjoy it fully. However, we did manage to see several types of fish, sea urchins, and a large school of slender fish that looked like saury.
After getting off the boat, we had a hula dance lesson at a park near the port. While staff member Yuka asked on the bus, "Shall we cancel because of the rain?" miraculously, the sky suddenly cleared. We wrapped pareos around our waists, adorned our heads and wrists with leis, and had a fun lesson under the guidance of the hula teacher. The music was played by a ukulele player who resembled Hiro from Yasuda Circus. There was also an explanation of hula tools, allowing us to experience Hawaiian culture.
The staff on today's tour were fantastic. Yuka, our caretaker, was charming and kind, with great attention to detail. Captain John was very generous, putting three lucky cheeseburgers on our plates. The two local boys were also a lot of fun. DJ Kekoa resembled Taka from Taka and Toshi, full of mischief, and was skilled at playing the ukulele and singing. The tall and young Patrick was an excellent dancer.
I would love to go back and meet them and the dolphins again on a sunny day.
For those participating, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

船長が作ったおいしいチーズバーガーをいただいた後はシュノーケリング。
寄港途中に何度かクジラが遠くに見えたようですが、残念ながら、私は潮吹きしか確認できませんでした。
波が高かったので、港近くの防波堤の内側のポイントでシュノーケルしましたが、水が冷たかったし、雨の影響で水が濁っていて十分に楽しめませんでした。
でも、何種類かの魚やウニ、サヨリみたいな細い魚の大群は確認できました。
船から降りた後、港そばの公園でフラダンス講習。
「雨なのでやめますか?」とバスの中でスタッフのゆかさんが問いかけている間に、不思議なことに突如青空に。
パレオを腰に巻き、頭と手首にレイをつけ、フラの先生の指導で楽しいレッスンです。
演奏は安田サーカスのヒロ君似のウクレレ。

Many snorkeling tours go far from Waikiki, but this tour's appeal was its convenience of not having to travel far.
The first half was snorkeling off the coast of Waikiki, and the second half was cruising up to Diamond Head.
I was a bit worried since it was an English tour, but it turned out to be such a fun experience that I didn't mind at all.
Depending on the day, the meeting time is at 7:30 AM, and it finishes in the morning, allowing you to schedule other activities in the afternoon. (In fact, I went on a tour to Manoa Falls that departed at 1 PM.)
Also, they took a commemorative photo before boarding, but when I tried to pick it up after disembarking, they asked for $15. I didn't have cash on me, so I declined, but I recommend bringing money if you want a keepsake.
シュノーケリングのツアーはワイキキから車で遠いところに行くものが多いのですが、このツアーはワイキキから遠出しない手軽さが魅力でした。
前半はワイキキ沖でシュノーケリング、後半はダイヤモンドヘッド沖までクルージングという内容でした。
英語ツアーということで若干心配でしたが、そんなことは気にならなくなるぐらい楽しいツアーでした。
曜日にもよりますが、7時半集合で午前中に終わるので、午後に別の予定を入れることも可能です。
(実際、13時発のマノア滝のツアーに行きました。)
なお、乗船前に記念写真を撮ってもらったのですが、下船時に受け取ろうとしたら「15ドル」とのことでした。
僕は手持ちがなかったので断ったのですが、記念に欲しい方はお金を用意していかれることをおすすめします。

It was the most expensive activity I've experienced so far, but I thought that swimming while holding onto a dolphin might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I decided to book it for my family of four. At first, seeing the dolphins up close was a bit scary, but as we touched and kissed them, the kids seemed to get used to it. The staff provided advice based on how the guests were feeling, and I thought they were very attentive. What surprised me was not only the staff's consideration but also the dolphins' awareness of us. The dolphins swam close to us, and without anyone giving commands, they paused for a moment to accommodate small children and those who were hesitant, making it easier for them to hold onto their fins. They pulled us along strongly while we sat on their bellies, and I even thought how nice it would be if they could take us back to Japan. The kids were scared at first, but they said they wanted to do it again. The DVD service was also included, so I’m really glad we booked through Alan1. We also got to feed turtles and sea lions, which made for wonderful memories. I want to visit Sea Life Park again.
今まで体験したアクティビティの中では最高額でしたが、イルカにつかまって泳ぐなんて、一生のうちにこれっきりかもと思い、思い切って家族4人で申し込みました。間近で見るイルカは最初、少し怖く感じましたが、イルカに触れたり、キスをしたりするうちに、子ども達も慣れてきた様子でした。スタッフの方は客の様子に合わせてアドバイスをしてくれて、とても気が効いていると思いました。驚いたのは、スタッフの方の気遣いだけでなく、イルカも私達に気を遣ってくれたことでした。イルカが近くまで泳いできてくれるのですが、誰も指示を出していないのに、小さい子や戸惑っている人など、相手の様子に合わせて、一瞬だけ、停止したりして、ヒレにつかまりやすいように配慮してくれていました。お腹に乗せてグイグイと力強くひっぱってくれて、このまま日本まで連れて帰ってくれないかなと思ったくらい、頼もしかったです。子ども達は最初は怖がっていましたが、またやりたいと行っていました。DVDのサービスも付いていたので、alan1さんで申し込んで本当によかったです。他にもカメやアシカに餌をあげたりできて、とても良い思い出になりました。またシーライフパークに行きたいです。

This was my third time parasailing, and it's always fun no matter how many times I do it. I didn't feel seasick, and I think anyone can enjoy it. I want to go parasailing again when I visit Hawaii!
パラセイリングは3回目でしたが何回やっても楽しいです。船酔いもなく、だれでも楽しめるとおもいます。ハワイに行った際にはまたパラセイリングをしたいです!

I was so glad i did it!! I was a bit nervous at first, only chose 600ft line. It was an amazing view, amazing weather, and felt very safe! My dad can't swim - doesn't usually get into the water and afraid of heights, but he himself loved it!! If we were in Hawaii another day, I would have done it again but upgraded to the full 1000ft! I also liked the fact that this company is very safe! They cancelled my first reservation due to high winds & I'm glad they did because the second reservation I made, the weather was PERFECT!! Beautiful skies, water was amazing, and we got to see whales! Loved every moment of it!! Felt so free!!

Premium Submarine Tour was very cool, well worth the extra money. Seating was comfortable. Tour guide very informative, easy to understand. My only complaint is we had a couple of smaller kids on the sub, they put on the headphones and sang most of the tour. We were able to see some pretty amazing ocean life, including a very large sea turtle, and a sting ray!
Would recommend for early in your vacation! We did this tour in the afternoon after the Whale watching breakfast cruise. We were also able to move up our reservation 2 hours just by stopping at the tent at the Hawaiiam Hilton, no extra charge!

Only two groups (a total of four people) participated, so we had the hammocks to ourselves, which felt like a great deal. It might be due to winter, but the weather wasn't the best, and it was a bit chilly while sailing. However, the water wasn't as cold as I expected, and the sea was very clear, making snorkeling enjoyable. I knew from reviews that fins weren't provided, so I brought my own. Not only fins, but we were also allowed to bring our own food and drinks.
It seemed they scattered some bait before snorkeling, as there were plenty of fish. While there weren't many colorful fish, there were a lot of them, and I was really impressed when I first entered the water. Additionally, there were many sea turtles. They weren't at all wary when I approached, and I was able to swim alongside them for a little while.
Seeing Waikiki from offshore and watching the catamaran raise and lower its sails made for a great experience.
参加は二組(計4名)だけで、ハンモックの上を半分ずつ、貸切状態で、お得感がありました。
冬なので仕方ないかもしれませんが、お天気がいま一つで、セーリング中は少し寒かったです。
でも、思ったより水は冷たくなく、海の透明度も高く、シュノーケリングは楽しめました。体験談からフィンの貸し出しがないのがわかっていたので、自分でフィンを持参しました。フィンだけでなく、食べ物や飲み物も持ち込みOKでした。
シュノーケリング前に餌を撒いてくれたようで、魚がたくさんいました。カラフルな魚はいなかったのですが、とにかくいっぱいいて、初めに海に入った時は感動でした。
そして、海亀もたくさんいました。近寄ってもちっとも警戒せず、少しだけ一緒に泳げました。
ワイキキ沖からワイキキを見れて、カタマランの帆を張ったりしまったりも見れたので、良い体験ができました。

Swimming with dolphins was amazing.
It might be even better if you go with kids!
There are a lot of bugs, so you'll get bitten. Don't forget insect repellent.
イルカと一緒に泳ぐ・・最高でした。
子供と一緒に行くと最高かも!
虫が多くて刺されます。虫除けを忘れずに。。

I would not characterize this center as a place to do serious information seeking about a culture, but it sure was fun and I learned enough to know it was at least good in what it selected. Yes, the most impressive thing was the stage show, and especially the ending. The story was a rather neat way of combinding all the island cultures and their unique features and similarities. The performers were wonderful.
On the negative side, not many and mostly resolved, our tickets should have included our meal and did not, so needed to be corrected. The food was OK, certainly not great.But there were a few " authentic dishes" that seemed and were more tasty, if only they had been more identified and described.
Sometimes the students hired seemed less than knowledgable or interested in their jobs.Others were wonderful. How do you review them?
And finally, because our tickets needed to be reissued, we ended up in the nosebleed section, which would have been fine, except that the air cond

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

An incredibly exciting class that made my nosebleed! The staff on board are all handsome veterans, so it's perfectly fine to rely on them! Everyone was kind and fun, and the time flew by!
If you're prone to feeling cold, a jacket is a must. If you're sleep-deprived, you might get seasick, so make sure to go to bed early the night before.
Of course, we had Dolphin Sensei, and we also met Turtle Sensei, and to top it off, we were lucky enough to see a whale at the end. I was able to ward off my bad luck!
With the beautiful sea and the dolphins, it really lifts your spirits.
鼻血が出る程大興奮の授業!船上のスタッフもイケメンベテラン揃いなので、思いっきり甘えてOK!皆やさしく楽しく対応してくれてあっという間でした!
寒いと思いやすい人は上着必須。寝不足だと酔いやすいので、前の日は早寝しましょう。
イルカ先生はもちろん海ガメ先生、そして虹にも向えられ、最後にクジラが見られる大ラッキーも。本厄払いできたぞ!
キレイな海にイルカたち。心が前向きになりますよ。
