I participated with my son this time. I was excited about being able to touch dolphins even before the tour, but it turned out to be an event that was even more fun than I expected. (You can see from the expressions in the photos.) I was surprised that dolphins have such smooth and soft bodies, and above all, I was amazed at how intelligent and cute they are. I had heard on TV that dolphins have a healing effect, and it was truly the case; they really calmed my mind. My wife, who was in charge of taking photos, kept regretting that she wanted to participate as well, so I highly recommend that everyone join in!
今回息子と二人で参加しました。
ツアー参加前からイルカに触れられるという事でワクワクしていましたが
実際予想以上に楽しいイベントとなりました。
(写真の表情を見て頂ければお解り頂けます)
イルカがスベスベの柔らかい体であるとは以外でしたし、何より賢くて
カワイイ事に驚きました。テレビでイルカには癒しの効果が有ると言われて
いましたがまさにその通りで心を和ませてくれました。
写真係の妻が私も参加したかったとしきりに後悔していましたので、
皆様も是非参加されてはいかがでしょうか?

We participated as a family. It was our first experience in a submarine, and both my children and I were thrilled. We decided to join the premium tour, and we were able to see many beautiful fish underwater, as well as three turtles swimming by. It seems that the visibility in the ocean is best in the early morning, making it easier to see the fish. Our whole family was very satisfied.
家族で参加しました。潜水艦初体験だったので、私も子供たちも大喜びでした。どうせならと思いプレミアムツアーに参加しました。海の中ではきれいな魚が沢山見れましたし、カメも3匹泳いでいました。なるべく午前中の早い時間帯が海の透明度が高いので魚が見やすい様です。家族全員大満足でした。

This is my second time participating in the submarine tour. The kids were so happy that I decided to join again this time. We participated in the standard course. The deluxe participants were swinging souvenir bags, which caught the kids' attention.
I signed up at the last minute, and only the 11 AM slot was available, so we wasted the morning. If you want to make the most of your time, I recommend booking an earlier time. They mentioned that the water is clearer in the early morning. Unfortunately, since I booked last minute, the free admission for kids didn't apply, which was disappointing.
A trolley-style shuttle bus picks you up from a nearby hotel. It's easy to spot because it has a picture of the Atlantis submarine on it.
We took a ferry from the Hilton Hotel's pier, but first, we took the promised commemorative photo. They took our picture with Diamond Head in the background from the pier.
During the summer vacation, there were many participants, so all three submarines were fully operational. The recycled boarding tickets were divided into yellow, red, and green. First, the yellow ticket holders boarded the large boat, and then we, with the red tickets, boarded. Since we boarded last, when I descended the ladder from the hatch, there were no available seats! I was wondering why, but once they closed the hatch and cleared the ladder, seats appeared. Phew! However, water drips from under the hatch, so be careful.
Last time, it was a Japanese tour, but this time it was in English, so I listened to a Japanese tape through headphones while submerged. Since it was a tape, it didn't match the actual locations we were seeing, which was disappointing. I would prefer to have the Japanese tour. Last time, they showed us the model of the thick glass windows and reassured us about their safety, but this time, they just told us to put on the headphones.
To make matters worse, my wife was sitting next to a Korean person who was very kind and kept switching the channel from Japanese (channel 1) to Korean (channel 3). When she switched it back to channel 1, it would revert to channel 3 after a while. This happened about three times. By the way, my wife is Japanese.
Underwater, since it's a natural sea, it's expected that there aren't many fish while moving. The fish gather around the coral reefs and the wreckage of ships and planes along the way. If you expect an aquarium-like experience, you might be disappointed, so be prepared.
潜水艦に参加するのは、今回で2回目です。子供達がとても喜んだので、今回も参加することにしました。スタンダードコースに参加しました。デラックスの人がお土産の袋をブラブラさせているので、子供達が気になってました。
申込みがぎりぎりで、11時の回しか空いてなくて、午前中が無駄でした。有意義に過ごしたい方は、早めの時間を早めにとるといいと思います。朝早い方が、海も澄んでいると言ってましたし。ぎりぎりだと、子供無料も適用されずトホホです。
近くのホテルまで、トロリー型の専用バスでお迎えに来てくれます。アトランティス潜水艦の絵が描いてあるので、一目瞭然です。
ヒルトンホテルの桟橋から連絡船に乗っていくのですが、その前にお約束の記念写真です。桟橋からダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに撮影してくれます。
夏休み中は、参加者が多いので、潜水艦3隻がフル活動中でした。リサイクル仕様の乗船券は、イエロー、レッド、グリーンに分かれていて、最初に大型船にイエローの券の人たちが乗り込み、次にレッドの私たちが乗り込みました。乗り込むのが最後だったので、ハッチからはしごを降りていくと空いている席がありません!!なんで?!と思っていたら、ハッチを閉めて、はしごを片付けると席が現れました。ほっ。でも、ハッチの下は水が垂れます。気をつけてください。
前回は日本語ツアーでしたが、今回は英語と言うことで、ヘッドホンからの日本語のテープを聴きながらの潜水です。テープなので、実際の場所の紹介とずれてしまっていて残念です。できれば、日本語ツアーにすべきです。前回は、窓ガラスのモデルも見せてくれて、こんなに厚い窓なんですから安心ですよと教えてくれましたが、今回はいきなりヘッドホンをつけてくださいで終わりでした。
さらに困った?ことには、妻の隣が韓国人の方で、とっても親切な人らしく、日本語は1チャンネルなのですが、ハングル語の3チャンネルに直してくれたんです。1チャンネルに戻すと、しばらくして、また3チャンネルにしてしまう。そんなやりとりが3回くらいあったそうです。ちなみに妻は日本人です。
海中は、自然の海なので当たり前ですが、移動中はほとんど魚がいません。魚は珊瑚礁や、途中途中の船や飛行機の残骸に集まっています。水族館のような感じを期待していくと裏切られますので、心して行きましょう。

We participated as a family of four this time. Although we were a bit anxious because our booking time was slightly delayed, we managed to join the tour without any issues. It was the first time for our children (6th grade and 2nd year of middle school) to ride a submarine that dives this deep, and they were wide-eyed with excitement. We visited five different reefs and were amazed by the colorful fish. By chance, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. It was a double luck since we also saw it at the North Shore. Compared to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, there were slightly fewer fish, but the water clarity was good, and the ride duration was long, making it a fulfilling experience. From the boat heading to the beach after the submarine ride, we had a breathtaking view of the hotel district in Waikiki and Diamond Head towering right in front of us.
今回家族4人で参加しました。ブッキングの時間が少々遅れてあせりましたが無事参加。子供たち(小6、中2)は、ここまで深く潜る潜水艦乗船は初めてで目を丸くしていました。漁礁を5箇所まわりカラフルな魚たちを見て感動しました。偶然にも海がめを見ることができラッキ−。ノースショアでもみられてダブルラッキ−でした。オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフに比べて少々魚量が少なかったけど、透明度もあり、乗船時間も長いので乗り応えがありました。潜水艦からビーチに向かう船からは、ワイキキのホテル街とダイヤモンドヘッドが目の前に聳え立ち絶景でした。

We participated as a family this time. Just as I had heard from an acquaintance who participated before, it was a lot of fun. The transfer to the submarine felt a bit long, but once we got inside, we hardly felt any vibrations and quickly found ourselves underwater. It was very beautiful, and seeing so many fish swimming was truly moving! Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles a few times, which was wonderful. Thank you, Alan!
今回家族で参加しました。知り合いが以前参加してとても良かったよと聞いていた通り、とても楽しかったです。潜水艦までの移動が少し長く感じましたが、潜水艦の中に入り、振動などほとんど感じず、あっという間に海の中へ。とても美しく、魚達がたくさん泳いでいる姿は、感動!運良く海がめにも何回か目にすることができとても良かったです。アランさん、ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four. The boarding location was convenient, just a short distance from our stay at the Hilton. Although the scheduled tour was not in Japanese, there were many Japanese participants, and it was helpful that the guide provided explanations in Japanese. The children were also impressed by the underwater scenery and sea turtles they saw from the submarine. This is a tour that you can't experience in Japan, and I highly recommend it.

In the summer of 2005, I participated in the Dolphin Discovery Swim at Sea Life Park. It included transportation.
Participants: 8 people in total (3 adults, 3 children, 1 observing adult, 1 toddler)
Children were aged 7, 5, 4, and 2.
10:00 AM - Gathering
11:00 AM - Arrival at Sea Life Park
11:15 AM - Observation of the sea lion show
11:45 AM - Lunch
12:30 PM - Observation of the dolphin pirate show
1:15 PM - Activity begins
3:10 PM - Gathering
4:00 PM - Dismissal
We gathered at the bus stop of the Sheraton Waikiki. We boarded the bus after an uncle shouted, "Sea Life Park!! Mr. ○○!!" He also spoke Japanese. About half of the passengers were foreigners and half were Japanese, filling the large bus in about 8 minutes. Inside the bus, they kept the atmosphere light by alternating between speaking Japanese and English. We headed to Sea Life Park after stopping at two pickup locations.
After arriving, tickets, paper wristbands, and contracts were distributed, and we were dismissed. Some people immediately joined the activities. Since we had time until 1:15 PM, we first went to see the sea lion show. Because there were many small children, we brought our own lunch. We warmed up curry in a retort pouch and rice at the hotel and packed it in an insulated bag. We spread a sheet in the shade and enjoyed our lunch like a picnic. *Light snacks like hot dogs are sold inside Sea Life Park. Afterward, since we had time, we watched the dolphin pirate show.
Finally, the activities began. *We wore our swimsuits from the hotel. After submitting the contract, we watched a Japanese explanatory video. Then, we walked a short distance to the dolphin pool. *At this time, it is essential for observers to accompany the group. Since activities were also happening at the lagoon of the dolphin pirate show, we mistakenly thought we would do the activity there, and the observer ended up waiting there... Of course, there was no time to call them, and we couldn't see them.
When we arrived at the dolphin pool, there was an explanation in English, and a photographer provided additional explanations in Japanese.

I traveled with my husband, but I participated in the Dolphin Adventure by myself. The dolphins were incredibly cute and smart, much more than I had imagined, and it was truly moving. I had three photos taken, and although I thought $16 for the largest one was really expensive, I decided to buy it. The DVD (about 10-15 minutes) was $49, which I thought was too high, so I didn't purchase it, but it seemed like the honeymooners were buying it. The tour lasted 5 hours and I was with the dolphins for about an hour, which went by so quickly. I wanted to spend a bit more time with them, but I guess this is the limit for their health. The person who picked us up was a foreigner, and there was no explanation. I thought I would be told about the meeting place and time for the return trip once we arrived, but instead, it was straight to check-in, changing, watching the dolphin explanation video, and then playing with the dolphins. After that, we were free to explore the park, but there was no explanation about the return meeting time or place, and I couldn't find anyone else who was on the shuttle bus with me, so I ended up taking the bus back to the hotel by myself. I wonder what happened to the others?
旅行には旦那と行きましたが、私1人でドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。イルカ

I waited at the pickup location, and when the time came and no one showed up, I was a bit worried. However, about 12 or 13 minutes later, a cool bus with a painting of Atlantis arrived. It seemed to be mainly for Japanese tourists, as there were many Japanese customers on board.
While waiting to board the submarine, we took a boat. The pier leading to the boat was very beautiful, and I couldn't help but take some photos. The views from the submarine offered sights that are not usually seen, and my child was very curious, looking out the window.
While the scenery isn't as stunning as I expected, I think it's worth a visit at least once. It's great that children can go for free.

I participated for the first time.
The weather was nice, and the sea was clear.
I was able to see a sea turtle near the sunken ship.
Although the colors of the underwater world turned blue, making it difficult to see the colorful fish, I was glad to encounter such a large sea turtle.
The guide spoke Japanese, which made it easy to understand. I appreciated the detailed explanations, such as how using a flash while filming underwater can hinder the quality of the shots.

The underwater world seen from a submarine is completely different from what you see while snorkeling. Women don't have to worry about their makeup running (laughs), and it's safe for children to enjoy, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.
Whether I would go multiple times is a bit uncertain, though...

I previously experienced "Splash U" twice, and this time I'm trying the dolphin training experience for the third time. For my third visit, I challenged the upgraded version of Splash U, the "Dolphin Discovery Swim," on June 1.
At 8 AM, the driver from Sea Life Park came to pick me up. He only speaks English but is very chatty and cheerful. When passing by the Honolulu Zoo, he always cracks jokes like, "Last time, a tiger escaped," and "Some people got eaten," making everyone laugh. The bus was full this time, with about 70% of the participants being foreigners.
After arriving at the site, we checked in at the entrance and put on optional wristbands. Then we entered and moved to the reception center. (By the way, since the program starts at 9:15, it's better to wear your swimsuit from the hotel beforehand.) The Japanese participants included my family (two adults and one child) and another family of three, totaling six people. Inside, we signed a contract and watched an explanatory video. Then, the Japanese-speaking staff member, KEIKO, provided additional explanations, and we finally moved to the dolphin pool.
Once we arrived, we quickly put on life jackets. During Splash U, we only went into water that was about waist-deep, but this time we went into water that was chest-deep. The children from both families were small (my child is five years old) and participated while being held by their parents. The activities included touching the dolphins, feeding them, and having the dolphins jump in front of us on cue, splashing us with water (laughs). The kids were quite scared of the large dolphins, but they seemed very satisfied after touching them.
During the commemorative photo session, they took pictures of us kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins. This time, not only photos but also video (DVD) was recorded, so I purchased both as keepsakes.
One slight disappointment was that during Splash U, we received a graduation certificate since it was called "Academy," but this time there was none. However, the content itself felt like a complete upgrade rather than just an enhancement. I was satisfied when I participated in Splash U.

I went on June 2nd. It was my first experience on my third trip to Hawaii. Even though I'm not a good swimmer, I felt safe and enjoyed myself wearing a life jacket. The tour guide was Japanese and provided simultaneous interpretation, so I was able to understand the explanations clearly. Each person got to kiss a dolphin, swim while holding onto its fin, and I even heard the dolphin's "kikiki" sound. I was truly satisfied and felt healed. ^^
However, one downside was that I thought, "There's no way to take pictures during this experience." The staff took three photos (one of the dolphin kissing my cheek, one of me kissing its mouth in return, and one of me swimming while holding onto its fin), but they weren't very good... My friend's face wasn't visible at all, and I was told that the photo of me kissing the dolphin in return was missing... I reluctantly gave up and bought just two photos to take home. There was also a DVD of the experience, but it was a bit pricey...
Well, who cares about the photos! I think anyone who just wants to touch dolphins will be satisfied. They were so cute! ☆★☆
6月2日に行ってきました。
ハワイ3度目にしてはじめての経験。泳ぎの苦手な私でもライフジャケットを着てだったので安心して楽しめました。ツアーガイドの方は日本の方で同時通訳をしながらだったので、説明もきちんと受けられました。一人一人イルカとキスしたり、ヒレにつかまって泳ぐことが出来たり、イルカの『キキキ』という声も聞くことが出来たし、本当に大満足で癒されました^^
ただ、難点は、体験して「これじゃ、撮ることは無理だな」とは思ったけど、写真が撮れないこと。スタッフの方が、3枚(イルカがほっぺにチュー、おかえしに口にチュー、ヒレにつかまって泳ぐ)を撮ってくれるのですが、あまり上手ではなく・・・。友達は全く顔が映っていなかったり、私はとったはずなのにお返しに口にチューした写真が無いと言われ・・・。泣く泣くあきらめ2枚だけ買って帰りました。体験中のDVDもありましたがちょっとお高め。。。
ま、写真なんてどうでもいい!イルカととにかく触れたいという方は満足行くと思います。
と~てもかわいかったです☆★☆

I was of course amazed to see so many fish up close, but I was surprised to see the colors fade as we went deeper. I couldn't help but laugh a little as my friend's complexion kept getting worse. For those who, like me, find swimming in the ocean a bit scary, I definitely recommend joining this tour. You can experience a mysterious world!

We participated as a family of five (husband, wife, a sixth grader, a third grader, and a preschooler). Everyone in the family was impressed with the experience, which exceeded our expectations. We set sail from the pier, and the view from the boat was fantastic. We were in great spirits as we watched the submarine sink and rise from the water. (However, motion sickness medication is a must!) The scenery after boarding the submarine was like a different world, and both the parents and kids were moved by it. The 45 minutes flew by, and I believe it was the best activity. The price changed after booking (it became cheaper due to the minimum guarantee system), but they handled it properly. Of course, the children's tickets for two were free. Thank you so much, Alan!

I participated in Dolphin Adventure. From the beginning, I was really looking forward to swimming with the dolphins. After receiving the explanation, we were ready to swim, but the dolphins' mood... According to the instructor, dolphins are mammals and have feelings. So, when they are not in the mood, they switch them out to avoid forcing them. I realized again that dolphins have feelings too! Finally, we had a dolphin that was ready to swim with us, and we got into the water. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and I was surprised by the strange sensation. The dolphin retrieved the ring I threw, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and I returned the favor. I held onto the dolphin's pectoral fin and swam! I was able to enjoy many things with the dolphins, and time flew by. It was an emotional experience to do something that is not easily available. Additionally, there was an option to purchase photos and DVDs of the experience (a bit pricey...), which became a great memory. It was so much fun!
ドルフィンアドベンチャーに参加しました。はじめから、イルカと泳げることが楽しみで楽しみで。説明を受け、さあ泳ごうとなってからイルカたちの機嫌が・・・。インストラクターの方からの説明で、イルカは哺乳類だから気持ちがあるんです。だから、気分が乗らないときは、無理をさせないように交代させるんです。とのことでした。イルカにも気持ちがあるんだぁ~と改めて感じました。一緒に泳いでくれるイルカがやっと決まり、水の中に。初めてイルカに触ってみて、不思議な感触に驚きました。自分が投げた輪を拾ってきたり、頬にチューをしてくれたり、お返しにしてあげたり、イルカのハラビレにつかまって泳いだり!たくさんのことを通してイルカと楽しむことができ、あっという間に時間がたってしまいました。なかなか体験できないことができ、感動でした。また、その様子を写真やDVDにしての販売もあり(少し高め・・・)、いい思い出になりました。楽しかった!

I don't have many opportunities to ride a submarine, so it was quite nice, right? I also got to see sea turtles, and there were divers too. I think the morning is better because the water is clearer. You can also hear explanations in Japanese. The crew members were really cool. However, the photos they take are expensive (though I guess you don't have to buy them...). It's not easy to participate two or three times, but you should definitely try it at least once.
潜水艦なんて乗る機会もないし、けっこういいんじゃないの?
海亀も見れたし、ダイバーさんたちもいたなぁ。
朝一の方が、海も透明度があっていいと思います。
日本語の説明も聞けるし。
クルーの方たちがかっこいいわぁ。
ただ、とってくれる写真が高いです。(買わなきゃいいけど…)
2度3度とは参加しにくいけど、1度は乗ってみるべし。

It may have been a coincidence, but we were the only Japanese people there. Still, there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, so we had no trouble communicating. The children were very excited. While there weren't many beautiful corals or fish, we thoroughly enjoyed the artificial reefs, ship and airplane wrecks, sharks, and sea turtles (there were many). Watching the submarine surface and dive from our boat was impressive. The only issue was that there was no explanation regarding the pick-up of the shuttle bus when returning to the hotel, which caused some confusion afterward. The way it seemed like we couldn't return unless we participated in the coral processing factory tour was disappointing.
たまたまかと思いますが、日本人は我が家だけでした。それでもスタッフの方は、日本語ができる方が何人もいらっしゃいましたので不自由はありませんでした。子供たちは大興奮です。きれいな珊瑚とか魚は余りありませんが、人工漁礁にはじまり、船や飛行機の残骸、鮫に海亀(たくさんいました)と十分楽しめました。自分たちが乗ってる船から、潜水艦の浮上や潜水開始を見るのも迫力です。問題は送迎のバスのピックダウン(ホテルに帰るとき)について説明が無く、終了後困ったことです。珊瑚加工工場ツア−に参加しなければ戻れないように思えるやり方は感心できません。

I participated with my 5-year-old son. The dolphins were incredibly cute! We got to touch them a lot, and my son was very excited. However, there were many Japanese people in our group, and we ended up in the same group as only foreigners. The instructor who could speak Japanese was translating for the Japanese group from the back. I could understand the instructions, but it was disappointing that I couldn't translate the explanations about the dolphins for my child. My younger son, who is 2 years old, couldn't participate and cried a lot! I want to let him join next time.
5歳の息子と参加しました。イルカは最高に可愛かった!体にもたくさん触れたし、息子も興奮気味でした。ただ、グループ分けで日本人が多く私たちだけ外国の方と同じグループに・・・。日本語が話せるインストラクターは日本人グループの後ろで通訳。指示的なことなら理解できましたが、せっかく生態を説明してくれてるのに子どもに通訳してやることもできず残念でした。次男は2歳で参加できず大泣き!次回はやらせてあげたいです。

I was aware of the existence of submarines, but I hadn't participated due to the high cost. This time, since I was on a budget, I had given up on the idea, but with the free admission for children and the low price, I made an immediate decision to join. This price was the lowest, and I was very satisfied that our family of four could participate for the cost of one adult ticket on other tours. The view of the ocean floor from the submarine was truly beautiful. Since my children are 7 and 5 years old, they can't dive, so the whole family was overjoyed.
潜水艦の存在を知ってはいたものの、料金の高さで参加してませんでした。今回もお金のない旅だったのであきらめていたところ、子供無料制度、加えて料金の安さで即決でした。この値段は最安値で、よそのツアーのおとな一人分で家族4人参加できただけでも大満足でしたが、潜水艦からみた海の底はほんとにきれいでした。子供が7歳と5歳だったので、ダイビングもできないし、家族みんなで大喜びでした。

There were reasonable price slots for the small submarine, but the timing didn't work out, and from 3 PM onwards, it was quite expensive. Since we were staying at the Aston, the children's fare would be refunded, but still... I was worried about seasickness, but it turned out fine. However, on that day, it seemed like there was a lot of sand in the air, which affected visibility. I felt it was artificial as rumored and was left feeling unsatisfied, but the kids were happy.
小型の潜水艇で妥当な値段の時間帯もあったのですが、時間が合わず15時からはかなりお高いものでした。アストンに泊まっていたので、子供料金が返却されますがそれでも・・心配していた船酔いは大丈夫でしたが、当日は砂が舞い上がっているのか視界が悪かった印象です。私には噂どうり人工的な感じで不満が残りましたが、子供は喜んでいました。

It seems that all the tour participants were foreigners due to the online reservation, and the person who picked us up didn't understand any Japanese at all. It appeared that they didn't understand the attractions we had reserved unless we explained them ourselves. Additionally, even though we had arranged for a later return time, there was a miscommunication, and we ended up having to take the bus back, which was quite a hassle.
However, the Dolphin Adventure was truly amazing as we got to interact a lot with the dolphins. It was so much fun to swim while holding onto the dolphins' pectoral fins and to kiss them.
In terms of food, places like this usually don't have much that suits my taste, but the hot dogs and cheese toast were really delicious.
I realized that a basic level of English is necessary.
ネットでの予約のせいかツアー参加者が全員外人でピックアップしてくれた人も日本語まったくわからずで、予約してるアトラクションをこちらから説明しないとわかってなかったみたいでした。それに帰りの車の時間を遅らせて予約したのに、通じてなくて帰りはバスで帰るはめになり大変でした。
でもドルフィンアドベンチャーはイルカとタップリふりあえて本当に最高でした。
イルカの胸ビレにつかまって泳いだりキスしたり、楽しかったです。
食事はこのような場所はだいたい口にあうものがないのですが、ホットドッグとチーズトーストがすごくおいしかったです。
最低限の英語力は必要だと感じさせられました。

It was my first experience on a submarine, and the navigator was an interesting person, so I enjoyed it. There weren't as many fish as I had hoped, but I think it was worth trying at least once.
潜水艦自体は初めての体験だったしナビゲータの方が面白い方だったのでたのしめました
魚は期待したほどはいなかったけど体験としては一度はしてみてよかったと思います。

I participated with a friend. The staff was really fun! Although it was a group, I quickly bonded with the other participants and we had a great time together. They taught us very carefully, and by the end of the two hours, I was able to stand up, feeling like a surfer. This is perfect for those who want to start or just want to try it out. You can participate with just a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen; everything else is provided. They also offer transportation to and from the hotel, which is very convenient. I wish I had brought a camera...
友達と二人で参加しました。スタッフがおもしろい!!グループでしたが、一緒に参加した子達ともすぐに打ち解け楽しくワイワイ。
とても丁寧に教えてくれたので2時間経った時には立てるようになり、気分はサーファー。これから始めたい人やちょっと体験したい方にはピッタリです。
水着とタオル、日焼け止めで参加O.K.あとはすべて貸してくれます。ホテルまで送迎してくれるので楽チンです。
カメラ持って行けばよかった。。

I participated in the Dolphin Adventure without transportation on March 17, after seeing Alan. I received a prompt response to my request, which made me feel at ease about joining. It seemed to have been cold until the day before, but the weather was truly beautiful on the day itself. We were divided into two groups, one with eight Japanese and another with seven foreigners, and we interacted with the dolphins in a pool facing the stunning blue sea. Today, the dolphins were in good condition, and my wife and daughter were looking forward to swimming with them. The dolphins turned upside down, and finally, my wife and daughter got to hold onto their pectoral fins (it wasn't the tail fin that day) for a rendezvous. Everyone got to swim with the dolphins. I captured my wife and daughter's amazing smiles on video! As for me? I ended up being the videographer, not expecting to have so much fun. I regretted not participating in such a wonderful activity! The photos available for purchase were also beautifully taken, but they were a bit pricey. I also heard that dolphins can be less energetic in lower temperatures.
ALANを見てドルフィンアドベンチャーの送迎なしコースに3月17日参加しました。リクエスト後、すぐに回答が頂け安心して参加することができました。前日まで寒かったようですが、当日は本当に良い天気で海の青さが際立つ海に面したプールで日本人8人、外国人7人の2グループに別れ、イルカとの触合い。今日はイルカの体調がいい。という事で一緒に泳げるのを妻と娘が期待していました。そしてイルカがひっくり返った格好になり、とうとう胸ヒレ(当日は尾びれではありませんでした)につかまってランデブー。一人一人全員がイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。妻と娘の最高の笑顔をばっちりビデオに納めました!えっ、僕?そうです、こんなに楽しそうとは思わずについビデオ係となってしまいました。こんなに素敵なアクティビティなら参加すれば良かった!と後悔しまくり。購入用の写真も素敵に取れていました。が、少々高め。後、聞いた話では、気温が低いとイルカも元気がないそうです。

I think participating in this tour was a great decision. The underwater exploration in Hawaii, with its clear and beautiful cobalt blue waters, is truly unique to Hawaii. We were also lucky to see resting and swimming turtles, which was a wonderful experience. It became a great memory for both of us.
However, I found out that (1) if you book this tour locally, it costs around $65 to $66, which is significantly cheaper than what we paid through the company. (2) After disembarking, we were taken to a place with coral, but it turned out to be a jewelry sales pitch, which felt a bit off. I think everyone would have had a better impression if we had gone directly to our intended destination without that stop.
本ツアーに参加し大変良かったと思います。
ハワイの海底探検、澄み切ったきれいなコバルトブルー、の中これはハワイならではと思います。
そして運良く、休んでいる亀、泳いでいる亀が見られた事ラッキーでした。
夫婦共良い思い出となりました。
ただ(1)本ツアーは現地で申し込むと65~66ドルと当社よりはるかに安い事判明した。
(2)下船後さんごの所へ連れて行ってもらいましたが行った先はジュエリーの
売りつけ、何か釈然としません、これがなく直接行きたい所迄の送迎の方が皆さん
印象良かったと思いますが・・・・。
