I participated with my family. I was the only one participating while the rest of my family watched from the bench. It felt a bit lonely to participate alone, but I ended up in a group with other Japanese people, and the staff provided explanations in broken Japanese. There are also Japanese staff members in the park, so I felt reassured. The time spent interacting with the dolphins is about 30 minutes, but if you love dolphins, I think you'll be satisfied paying this price. Additionally, if you have companions, they can take photos nearby, which is helpful. While the paid photos are certainly well-taken up close, I was also quite satisfied with the regular snapshot photos.
家族で参加しました。私だけ参加して残りの家族はベンチから見学です。一人で参加するのは心細いですが日本人同士一緒のグループになりましたし、スタッフの方も片言の日本語で説明してくれます。園内には日本人スタッフもいるので安心です。イルカと触れ合える時間は正味30分程度ですが、イルカ好きならこの値段を払っても満足できると思います。なお同行者がいる場合は近くで写真を撮ってもらえるので助かります。有料の写真は間近で撮ってくれるので確かによい写りでしょうが、普通のスナップ写真でも十分満足できました。

The boat ride to the submarine was pleasant, and it was interesting since it was my first experience on a submarine.
The waves were strong, so the water was murky, but it was still nice to see fish and turtles.
It can be a bit rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick quickly.
I recommend the Japanese guide option.
潜水艦までの船も気持ちが良くて、潜水艦も初体験なので面白かったです。
波が強かったので、水中も濁ってしまっていましたが、それでも魚やカメも見れて良かったです。
揺れるので、乗り物に弱い方はすぐ酔ってしまうと思います。
日本語ガイドの時間がおすすめです。

It was very pleasant.
The two brothers didn't understand much Japanese, so I couldn't really understand the explanations, but it was fine as long as I watched the people in front.
The description for alan1 mentioned that tips were included, but they actively requested tips.

On June 12, I participated in the Royal Swim with my boyfriend. I had always dreamed of touching dolphins after visiting aquariums in Japan and watching dolphin shows. Although it was a bit pricey at $215, I decided to join and made my reservation here. The confirmation email came quickly, which was reassuring.
On the day of the event, the pickup was right on time. There were many foreigners, and the driver spoke English. When we arrived at Sea Life Park, there was someone at the entrance who spoke Japanese and provided explanations. However, the dolphin trainers did not speak Japanese, which was a bit confusing, but as mentioned in other reviews, I managed to follow along by watching the other foreigners.
The activities included cheek rubs, kisses, holding onto the dorsal fin, and having the dolphins push my feet, all done randomly with 10 participants to keep the dolphins engaged. I was the first to go, and I made a little mistake. There were 10 of us in the Royal Swim, and apart from my boyfriend and me, everyone else was American. Since other programs were cheaper, there were about 20 to 30 participants in those sessions at the same time, which made me feel a bit superior.
After the program, some participants from the other programs mentioned, "I wish I had done the Royal Swim." The dolphins were quite large and chubby, which made my boyfriend a bit nervous (laughs). The dolphins were truly intelligent, clever, and obedient; I was so moved during the program that I cried. I highly recommend it. I purchased the DVD for $50, and he bought two photos.
After the program, while waiting to leave, there were shows that were quite different from those at Japanese aquariums. We were able to see them up close, and when I sat in the front row, a penguin came right up to my feet, which was also touching. It was very quiet, so moving seats was completely fine. Time flew by.
On the way back, the driver stopped briefly at a viewpoint of Hanauma Bay and gave us time to take photos. (This stop isn't specifically mentioned in the program, so it might not happen depending on the driver.) Thank you for such a precious experience. This was my fifth time in Hawaii, and one of my dreams has come true!
6/12にロイヤルスイムに彼氏と参加しました。
日本でも、水族館に行って、イルカのショウなどを見て、いつかイルカに触れてみたいという夢を持っていた私・・・。
$215と高めだったけど、今回参加を決意して、こちらで申込をしました。メールで予約確定と返事がくるのも早く、安心できました。
当日は時間きっちりにお迎えが来てくれました。外国人の方も多くドライバーは英語でした。シーライフパークに着くと、入口では、日本語対応の方が居て、説明をしてくれました。
ただし、イルカのトレーナーの方は日本語が話せないので、ちょっと戸惑いましたが、こちらの口コミであるように、他の外国人の方がやるのを、見様見真似でなんとかなりました。?頬づり&キス、?背びれつかまり、?足をイルカに押してもらう はイルカが飽きないように、10人ランダムに順不同で行います。?は1番先に私がやったので、ちょっと失敗してしまいました。。
私の時にはロイヤルスイムは10人での参加で、私と彼氏以外は全員アメリカ人。
やはり他のプログラムは値段が安めなので同時刻の参加者は20~30人ほどだったので、私的には優越感も感じました。
プログラム終了後、他のプログラム参加者は、『ロイヤルにすれば良かったな』と言ってきた人も居ましたよ。
かなり大きな丸々太ったイルカ達だったので、彼氏はちょっとビビッていました(笑)
本当にイルカちゃんは賢くて利口で従順でプログラムの最中感動で泣いちゃいました。本当おすすめです。
私はDVD$50で購入。彼は写真を2枚購入しちゃいました。
プログラムが終わって帰りの時間までの間も、日本の水族館とはまた一味違って、ショウなどをやっていたのですが、とても近くで見れて、1番前に座って見ていたらペンギンが足元まで来てくれて、これもまた感動しちゃいました。とても空いているので、席の移動も全然OK。時間があっという間に過ぎました。
帰りにはドライバーさんが、ハナウマ湾のビューポイントで少し停車してくれて、写真を撮る時間をくれました。(こちらは特にプログラムには書いてないので、ドライバーさんによっては寄らない場合もあるかもしれませんが・・・。
本当に貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
私はハワイ5回目ですが、夢がひとつ叶いました♪

I participated in Dolphin Adventure. It was a great experience as I swam with dolphins for the first time! Since it was a weekday, the park was very quiet, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing day. The dolphin and seal shows were also a lot of fun. The scenery from the park, surrounded by mountains and the sea, was soothing.

I love these people! This was the greatest. We reserved 2 for parasailing and 2 observers on the boat. Getting the confirmations online was easy. The directions to the pick-up was simple to find. They picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel. The parasailing itself was da bomb! Our driver and his co-worker were most awesome and very friendly. They did NOT make you give them a tip; you wanted to. They deserve every penny they make! Quite frankly, I could have spent all days with these guys; they were so much fun. It's a quick ride, but the most fun EVER. If you do not do this, you're crazy!

The Surf Bus tour to the North Shore was the best tour that we took. Our driver Justin was awesome. On the tour of the island he was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of things that we would have missed if we had just taken a rental car. This tour also gave us lots of options as far as activities and a choice of beaches to spend time at. Waimea Bay was the best beach on the island and the jumping rock was a lot of fun. I would recomend this tour to anyone!

Suddenly, rain in the early afternoon on the day of the cruise...
There were plenty of clouds in the sky until we boarded the cruise...
I was starting to give up on seeing the sunset.
However,
Looking towards where the sun sets, the clouds were just barely clearing. With a glimmer of hope, I went up to the top deck of the boat, and there it was—the sunset!!
It was a fitting event to cap off our honeymoon.
当日のお昼過ぎに突然の雨・・・
クルーズに乗るまで上空は雲がたっぷり・・・
サンセットはダメかなと諦めていました。

I participated in this activity with the desire to "swim with dolphins." In reality, it's more accurate to say that it's about interacting with them rather than swimming together. However, I had never seen dolphins up close like this before, so it was a lot of fun. I am very satisfied. On hot days, a sun hat and sunscreen are essential.
「イルカと泳ぎたい」という要望の元、このアクティビティに参加しました。内容の実際は、一緒に泳ぐというよりもふれあうという言い方のほうがいいですね。でも、こんなに近くでイルカを見たことがなかったので、とても楽しかったです。大満足です。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The weather was fantastic, and since it started at 9:00 AM, it felt great to fly and have a stunning view of Honolulu.
We went out to sea on a boat, and from there, they took us flying. The guy driving the boat and the one preparing the equipment were both very kind and quite playful. Although they didn't speak Japanese, I had a great time.
If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend experiencing it at least once. It's highly recommended!

This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.
Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!
It's my first time surfing.
The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...
But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"
However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!
It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!
After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!

My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...
The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it
