I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful sandbar due to the cloudy weather, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had cleared up! The sensation of stepping barefoot on the mysterious beach that appeared in the middle of the ocean was amazing! This tour focuses on experiencing the sandbar, so getting to that location is a priority. It was fun to see sea turtles and take photos along the way, but if I had to say something, I think the meals could be a bit more substantial. For example, having lunch on the sandbar would be great... (there may be regulations, though...), having just one sandwich on the boat feels a bit lacking. I'm looking forward to it!
あいにくの曇りの天候できれいなサンドバーに会えるか心配でしたが,サンドバーに到着するころには天候も回復!海のど真ん中に現れた不思議な砂浜を素足で踏みしめる感覚は最高でした!このツアーはサンドバーを体験することがメインなのでその場所に行くことを重視しています.途中ウミガメを見たり写真撮影は楽しかったですが,しいて言えば食事がもう少し充実していると良いと思います.例えばサンドバーの上でランチとか・・(規制があるのかもしれませんが・・),船上でサンドイッチ1枚はちょっとさびしいです.期待しています!

All the explanations beforehand are in English, but since each person is allowed to practice on the board on land, I think it will be understandable. The board is large and buoyant, and the staff will push you on the waves, so you will definitely be able to ride it. It would have been even better if there were several types of boards to choose from.
事前の説明はすべて英語ですが、陸で一人一人ボードに乗せて練習させてくれるので、理解出来ると思います。
ボードは大きなボードで浮力があり、波にはスタッフが押してくれるので、必ず乗れます。
板が数種類から選べれば尚良かったと思います。

Staff was excellent!! Todd, Larry and ALL staff were extremely helpful & courteous. Highly recommend doing the Snuba, well worth the extra $. Larry got my wife and daughter-in-law underwater in a short time. Both were very hesitant at first and I had asked that they only try. The whole gig was GREAT!

This was my first trip to Hawaii since elementary school, and I thought, "I definitely want to swim with dolphins," so I decided to participate.
We gathered at a little after 6 AM, which made for an early wake-up call, but since we were able to make good use of our time after returning to Honolulu in the afternoon, I think it turned out well.
First, we went to Leonard's Bakery to eat malasadas. The warm malasadas were very delicious. They were like a donut without the filling.
I felt a bit seasick while heading out on the boat, but I was able to encounter dolphins safely. I was hoping to swim with them for a while, but wild dolphins move very quickly, and it felt like just a brief moment.
After arriving at the offshore point, it took some time to spot the dolphins, so we had to wait on the boat for a long time, which was tough on my seasick body.
I think it's best to bring motion sickness medication if you can!
After that, we also encountered sea turtles. I was really surprised to be able to swim so close to them and realized they weren't afraid of humans at all.
Although my encounter with the dolphins felt like just a fleeting moment, I was truly satisfied to swim with many dolphins and baby dolphins.
As others have mentioned in their reviews, the local staff were very cheerful and bright, and they had plenty of activities to entertain the participants, which really lifted my spirits.
I highly recommend this tour!
小学生の時以来のハワイ旅行で、「ぜひイルカと泳いでみたいな。」と思い参加しました。
朝は、6時すぎに集合するので、早起きはちょっと大変でしたが、午後ホノルルに戻ってからも時間が有効に使えたので、結果的には良かったかなと思います。
まずは、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダを食べにお店に行きます。あたたかいマラサダはとても美味しかったです。
あんドーナツの餡が入っていないようなものでした。
船で沖に向かうのに若干船酔いをしてしまいましたが、イルカには無事に出遭うことができました。
「しばらく一緒に泳げるのかな」と期待していたのですが、自然のイルカは動きがとても速く、ほんの一瞬のことだったように思います。
沖のポイントに着いてからも、イルカを探し当てるのに時間がかかるため、船上での待機の時間が長く、船酔い気味の体には堪えました。
できたら酔い止めを持参した方が良いと思います!
その後、ウミガメにも出遭えました。
本当にそばで泳ぐことができ、「人間を恐れていないんだなー」とビックリしました。
イルカとの出会いはほんの一瞬の出来事だったように思いますが、沢山のイルカと赤ちゃんイルカと泳ぐことができ、本当に大満足です。
他の口コミで皆さん書かれているように、現地のスタッフの方もとても陽気で明るく、参加者を楽しませる企画が盛りだくさんで、元気をもらうことができました。
オススメのツアーです!

A trolley came to pick us up and took us to the site, where we departed on a boat with ten people. Since we had to wait while others were flying, it was a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
I was unsure about the height difference, but I was glad I chose the 110-meter course. I probably wouldn't have noticed a difference even if it were increased by 20 meters...
Everyone made a slight splash in the sea. Some people only got their feet wet, but we ended up soaking our shirts. I heard that with a Dry Landing, you can avoid getting wet, but no one requested that.
Everyone bought an SD card for $30 for 40 photos. A total of 68 photos were taken, but the ones that were in focus...
It became a great memory.
トロリーで迎えが来て現地まで送ってくれ、10名ボートに乗って出発しました。他の人が飛んでいる間待つことになるので、酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。
高さの違いで悩みましたが、110メートルコースでよかったです。おそらく、20メートル増やしても違いがわからない・・・
全員、海に少しだけ着水していました。足だけの人もいたけど、私たちはシャツまで濡れてしまいました。Dry Landing といえば、水に濡れずに済むみたいですが誰も頼んでいませんでした。
SDカードは40枚30ドルで全員買ってました。全部で68枚撮られていたけど、ピントが合ってるのは・・・
いい思い出になりました。

Although we could see dolphins from the boat, they didn't appear much during snorkeling, which made me feel that swimming with wild dolphins really depends on luck. Since it was summer vacation, there were more than 30 participants. I thought it was a bit too crowded. As for those who are prone to seasickness, including myself, it seemed that no one got seasick even on a fairly rocky boat, possibly because they had taken medication.
船からはイルカがみえるのに、シュノーケリングのときには
なかなか現れないので野生のイルカと泳ぐのは運のなかとつくづく感じた。
夏休みということもあり、参加者が30人以上いた。
ちょっと詰めすぎではないかな
酔いやすい人は、わたしを含め薬を服用していたのか、かなり揺れる船でも酔っている人は、一人もいなかった。

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii with a friend. I was really moved! I was worried because they mentioned beforehand that we might not see any wild dolphins, but I was able to meet more dolphins than I expected. It was such a great experience to swim so close to wild dolphins and turtles. My dream came true, and I was very satisfied. I could see the dolphins jumping up close, and I swam so near to the turtles that I was worried I might touch them.
The tropical fish were also very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. It was lovely to release plumeria flowers into the sea from the boat while making a wish.
Leonard's malasadas and the cheeseburger I had on the boat were both delicious, and the staff were cheerful and fun. The ukulele and hula were great too. The scenery was wonderful, and I felt like I received a lot of positive energy.
It was tough to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it to join this tour. It became my most enjoyable memory of this trip to Hawaii.
I definitely want to participate again.
Thank you so very much!
初めてのハワイで友人と参加しました。
すごく感動しました!野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると事前にお話があり心配でしたが、予想以上にたくさんのイルカたちと会うことができました。あんな近くで野生のイルカや亀と泳げるなんて、とても良い経験ができました。夢が叶い大満足です。イルカのジャンプもまじかで見ることができ、亀も触ってしまうのではと心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。
熱帯魚たちもとてもキレイで写真をたくさん撮りました。
プルメリアの花を船から海へお祈りしながら流すのも素敵でした。
レナーズのマラサダも、船の上で食べたチーズバーガーもとてもおいしくスタッフさん達も陽気で楽しいし、ウクレレやフラも良かったです。
また景色も素晴らしくたくさんのパワーをもらうことができたと思います。
朝が早くて大変ですが、早起きしてでも行く価値があるツアーでした。今回のハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined my friends. Waking up early was a bit challenging, but it was definitely worth it!
The first stop was Leonard's for malasadas, and even though it was early in the morning, there was a line, so it was clear it was a popular spot. The taste was, of course, delicious.
I heard on the bus to the harbor that we might not see wild dolphins, which made me a little anxious...
After arriving at the harbor, we boarded the boat and had a romantic experience of releasing a song and plumeria flowers into the sea to wish for a safe journey. It took about 30 minutes to reach the area where the dolphins were. (Make sure to take motion sickness medication.)
I was surprised that the captain and guide could tell where the dolphins were just by looking at the surface of the water.
We decided on a spot and headed into the sea! The water was, of course, beautiful! (It was the best sea I visited during my stay in Hawaii!) When the guide signaled, I peered into the seabed and was able to see many dolphins. While enjoying snorkeling, I spotted a dolphin swimming towards the surface, so I quickly waited at the surface and was able to see a dolphin jump up close. I was so excited that not only did I see the dolphins, but I also got to swim very close to a sea turtle, worrying that I might touch it!
We moved to another location where I could snorkel with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles, and I was able to take many photos as memories.
After snorkeling, the snacks, cheeseburgers, and juice we had on the boat were exceptional. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed the guide's ukulele performance, live singing, and learned hula dancing, which made for a fun time.
One disappointing thing was that we couldn't kayak or stand-up paddle due to strong winds. Considering safety, it was understandable, so I look forward to trying it next time.
This trip became my most enjoyable memory during my stay in Hawaii. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.
Thank you so much to the captain and guide!
初めてのハワイ旅行、友人と参加しました。朝早いのは少し大変でしたが、早起きして絶対損はありません!!
まずはじめに立ち寄ったレナーズのマラサダは早朝にも関わらず行列ができていたので人気店なのはすぐにわかりました。味はもちろんおいしかったです。
港に着くまでのバスの中で野生のイルカなので会えないこともあると聞いたので少し不安になりましが・・・。
港到着後船に乗り込み、旅の安全を願ってうたとプルメイヤの花を海へ流すというロマンチックな体験もできました。約30分でイルカ先生たちのいる場所へ。(酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方がいいです。)
船長さん、ガイドさんは水面を見ているだけでイルカのいる場所がわかるのにはびっくりしました。
スポットを決めいざ海へ!!海はもちろん綺麗です!(ハワイ滞在中の行った海で一番!!)ガイドさんの合図で海底を覗くとたくさんのイルカ先生たちに会うことができました。シュノーケルを楽しんでいるとイルカ先生が海面に向かって泳いでいるのを発見したのですぐに海面で待っているとドルフィンジャンプをまじかで見ることができ、興奮していると、イルカ先生だけではなくウミガメ先生を海面から顔を出してくれ触ってしまうのではと、心配になるくらいの近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。
別の場所へ移動をし、綺麗な熱帯魚とウミガメ先生とシュノーケルができ、たくさんの写真を思い出に残すことができました。
シュノーケルが終わり、船で食べたスナック・チーズバーガー・ジュースは格別の味でした。港に帰る間はガイドさんたちのウクレレの演奏・生歌・フラダンスを教えていただき、楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。
一つ残念だったことは、カヤック・スタンドアは風が強くてできなかったことです。安全面を考えたら仕方のないことですので、次回の楽しみにします。
今回ハワイ滞在で一番楽しい思い出になりました。次にハワイに行くときも必ず参加します。
船長さん・ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

This was my first time both in Hawaii and parasailing. The crew was efficient, and kind. The pictures they took were both well done and affordable. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of life jackets for those who are in the boat. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii or looking to parasail.

I had requested a pickup and arrived at the designated location 10 minutes early, but even after waiting for 25 minutes, no one came to pick me up, which was very stressful. The voucher mentioned to call if they hadn't arrived 10 minutes after the scheduled time, but I didn't have a mobile phone that could make calls overseas, so I was really in a tough spot. However, after waiting a bit longer, they finally came to pick me up, and the lesson was so enjoyable that I forgot all about the morning's mishap! I took the lesson in a group, and since most of the participants were Japanese, we were able to chat and have fun together! Of course, whether it was the teacher's guidance or the wave conditions, I was able to stand up and had a great time!
ピックアップをお願いしていて、指定の場所に指定の時間の10分前に行って待ってたのに、25分待っても一向に迎えが来ず、とてもハラハラしました。

でも、もう少し待ったら迎えに来てくれて、朝のそんなハプニングを忘れてしまうぐらい楽しいレッスンでした☆
グループで受けたのですが、ほとんど日本人だったので、なんとなくみんなで話しながら楽しめました!!
もちろん、先生の指導?波の状態?が良かったのか、立つことも出来てとっても楽しかったです◎

I experienced a dolphin encounter on my first trip to Hawaii.
**What to Wear and Bring:**
- Swimsuit (I wore it from the hotel. There are few changing rooms and not much time, so it's definitely better to wear it from the hotel.)
- Beach sandals (I wore these too.)
- Bath towel (Purchased at an ABC Store in Hawaii)
- Sunscreen (You can get quite sunburned)
- Lightweight hoodie (For wind and sun protection)
- Digital camera
- Reservation confirmation
- Underwear (Since I went in a swimsuit, don't forget!)
- Money (I brought about $80 per person)
I participated in a package with hotel pickup for the 9:30 AM program. I got on the shuttle bus at 8:30 and arrived at the park around 9:20. I hurriedly signed the consent form and changed clothes. The coin locker for valuables costs $3, and one is enough for a family. You can take non-valuable items to the poolside.
The program lasts about 30 minutes. Our group was all Japanese. The instructor was also Japanese. There were participants ranging from a one-year-old child to a grandfather in his 70s. The dolphin, Kekaimaru, is a half-dolphin, half-whale. It had very gentle eyes and was adorable. We kissed and danced with it. The performance right in front of us was very satisfying. Even the little kids, held by their parents, were a bit nervous but enjoyed interacting with Kekaimaru.
After the program, we had free time until the return bus. The park itself is small, so you can finish exploring it quickly. The dolphin show is wonderful, so be sure to see it. You can really feel the trust between the instructor and the dolphins, which is lovely.
After the show, we had a meal at the park's restaurant. It's self-service. I had the kalua pork (steamed pork) from the plate lunch options. If you're a light eater, one dish is enough for two people. The taste is decent, about the same level as meals at Japanese theme parks.
Also, the program photos are three for $40. You can buy them individually, but they are really well taken, so you'll probably want all three (laughs).
I was moved by the adorable sight of the large dolphins right in front of me. It's enjoyable for everyone from small children to grandparents. I highly recommend it!

We made this a family affair. My two kids, 16 & 6 enjoyed the sharks. The water was rough and it was very hard to hold onto the cage. I had to hold my 6yr old, he was not strong enough to hold on himself and the waves knocked him around. That said he loved it. My 16 yr old had no problems and tooks some great pics with the underwater camera. The sharks came right up to the cage and they looked them eye to eye. I tend to get sea sick so I wore a sea sick patch, which unfortuntly was not enough. The worst part was sitting in the boat while the other group was in the cage. Everyone agreed that they would do it again, but compared to some of the other tours we did, this one seemed a little pricy. We were only out for about 1.5 hours with about 15 - 20 minutes in the cage, which was just right but per minute - expensive!

I participated in the luau show because I wanted to show it to my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. Since we had a small child with us, I chose standard seating, thinking it might be troublesome if the child started to make noise. However, it turned out to be fine since we were seated directly in front. The only downside was that we had to wait a little to get our food after the Golden Circle guests.
The food was good, especially the sushi rolls and roast beef, but the rest was just average. It was fun to see various dances, and the fire dance was particularly impressive. Instead of making noise, the child was actually keeping rhythm with the music.
It was great that we could take commemorative photos with the dancers after the show.
初ハワイの母にルアウショーを見せたくて参加しました。
席は小さい子供がいるので騒ぎ出して迷惑になったら困ると思いスタンダードシートにしました。見づらいかなぁと思っていましたが、正面だったからか何の問題もなかったです。ただ、お料理を取りに行くのはゴールデンサークルシートの方達のアトになるので少し待ちますが。。。
お料理は海苔巻きとローストビーフは美味しかったですが他は普通かな。
色々なダンスを見ることができて楽しかったです。その中でもファイヤーダンスは迫力がありました。子供も騒ぎ出すどころか音楽に合わせてリズムをとっていました。

It felt a bit chilly, perhaps due to the overcast sky, and we only walked or waded in the shallow water. It would have been nice to have more time to swim, but we only circled around the boat for a short while. I heard there were sea turtles in the distance, but I couldn't see them. It's a shame because the staff were friendly and left a good impression.

The service is only available for foreigners except during the document submission before boarding. After boarding, they seem to have memorized the explanation in Japanese and provide a brief explanation in broken Japanese. You can store your luggage at your feet on the boat. Since you may get splashed with water during the latter part of the parasailing, it's better to leave anything that shouldn't get wet at your feet. They don't insist on tips; they just casually say, "If you had fun, please consider tipping!" We paid a total of $40 for two people, including the $30 photo fee.
The acceleration of the boat at departure was fun, and I didn't feel any motion sickness at all.
The view from above was amazing!! I definitely want to do it again!
乗り込む前の書類提出時以外は外国人の方のみの対応です。
乗船後の説明も日本語の説明は暗記しているらしく、片言の日本語で説明してくれます。
荷物は船の足元に入れれるようになっています。
パラセーリング終盤に海に浸けられるので、頭から水をかぶる人もいるので、濡れては困るものはこの足元に置いて行った方がいいと思います。

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。

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!

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.
イルカと遊べるプログラムです。
1歳児から参加できるのが素敵です。
インストラクターの人は日本人の方もいて、
日本語対応していました。
写真は1枚16ドルで購入できるのですが、やや高いですね。

My wife & I were first timers visiting during a conference. We located this tour on-line and took a gamble sight unseen. This was one of the best parts of our vacation. Our guide, Chris, was very personable and provided tons of information about the North Shore and the agriculture. He took several pictures for us and was very accommodating. Five stars for Chris. We would recommend this for anyone. The scenery is breathtaking. We recommend the sunset ride and request Chris for your guide!

I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch twice before, but this time I wanted to see a different view, so I tried the sunset horseback riding at this ranch. It was a small, privately-owned place, which made it easy to talk to the staff. The female guide spoke only English, but she was very kind, and the horses were well-trained, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were also privately owned horses at the ranch, and one of the horses we encountered while riding was quite mischievous and fell right in front of us, leaving us in shock. Our guide, who also had a nursing qualification, provided emergency assistance and called an ambulance, while we waited anxiously. I realized that dealing with wild animals comes with such risks.
According to our guide, if the horse's personality doesn't match the rider's skill level, accidents can happen more easily. However, the horses at this ranch were well-behaved and properly trained, so we were able to enjoy the ride without worry until the end. We took in the magnificent scenery and sunset, treating the incident as a lesson, and it turned out to be a fun hour and a half of horseback riding.
乗馬はクアロア牧場で2度程体験しましたが、別の景色を見たいと今回こちらの牧場のサンセット乗馬を体験しました。
個人経営でこじんまりしていたので、話やすかったです。ガイドしてくれた女性は英語しかできませんが、とても優しく、馬もよく慣れていて安心して楽しめました。そこの牧場には個人所有の馬もおり、私たちが乗馬中に出会った馬がやんちゃで、目の前で落馬してしまい、唖然としました。私たちのガイドさんは看護師の資格ももっているとのことで、緊急対応し、救急車を呼んだのですが、その間私たちは緊張の面持ちで待機していました。自然の動物を相手にするのはこういったリスクも伴うものだというのを痛感しました。
ガイドさん曰く、馬の性格と乗り手の技量があっていないと、事故も起きやすいとのこと。しかしここの牧場の馬は、性格もよく、きちんと調教されているとのことで、最後まで安心して楽しめました。雄大な景色とサンセットを見て、アクシデントのことは教訓とし、楽しい1時間半の乗馬でした。

I participated with my son and his wife. I had seen it many times on TV, but the real thing was indeed great. However, the contrast between the sandbar and the deep sea wasn't very clear, and I wished I could see it from the sky.
息子夫婦と4人で参加しました テレビ番組で何度も見ていましたが、実物はやはり良かったです ただサンドバーと深い海とのコントラストは、あまりはっきりせず、空から見たいと思いました

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(^^)
とゆうのも実は、友人は昨年参加した際船酔いになってしまい今回はリベンジの参加。私はそうではなかったですが、また是非参加したいと思える内容であったからです。
やはり、また参加して良かった!!
シュノーケリングであんなに間近にイルカや海亀を見ることができて、あの感動は言葉では伝えきれません。
日本のストレス社会を一気に吹き飛ばせる瞬間です(笑)
イルカは昨年以上に間近で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私達がイルカ達を見逃さないよう、スタッフの方の配慮も伝わってきます。
ポイントを変えて、今度は熱帯魚のいるエリアへ。パンを貰えるのでそれを手に海へ。パンを撒くとものすごい量の熱帯魚が寄ってきます。これまた感激です。
カヤックなどの遊びも充実してます。
同じツアーに子供連れの方も参加してました。海の中でもスタッフの方が子供に付いていて、たまたま私はその近くを浮かんでいたのですが、子供への配慮もきちんとされているので子供も楽しめるし親も安心ですね。
とにかく満足にイルカ、亀、熱帯魚を間近で見ることができて、またそうできるようにスタッフの方の配慮が伝わってくる良いツアーです。
また参加したいです。
