The weather was cloudy, and it started to rain after we set sail, so I had given up on seeing whales. However, we were able to see them spouting water multiple times and even catch a glimpse of their tails. The weather gradually improved, allowing us to enjoy our time comfortably on the second and third decks.

Perhaps due to the family discount, there were many foreign families with children, creating a lively atmosphere that felt like being on a kindergarten field trip. After lunch, I noticed some adults who had been moved by the whale sightings were taking naps. Since we cruised from 11:30 AM until after 2 PM, it seemed some adults were getting bored.

We entered from the first floor and had to move between the second and third floors via stairs. When I asked about how wheelchair users would manage, I was told they would have to stay on the first floor. The lunch menu included ham, cheese, fruit, lettuce and tomato for mini hamburgers, and slices of roast beef. Cookies were also provided. Coffee was $1, and alcoholic drinks were $10.

天気が曇りで、出航してからは雨が降り出しましたので、クジラの出現は諦めていたのですが、何度も潮吹くのを見たり、尾びれも見ることが出来ました。
天気は徐々に回復して、２階や３階のデッキで気持ち良く過ごすことも出来ました。
ファミリー割引があるためか、外国人の子供連れが多く、幼稚園の遠足の中にいるような感じで、ものすごく賑やかでした。
ランチを頂いた後、何度かクジラの出現に感動していた大人の中には、昼寝に入っている人も見掛けました。
１１時半出航２時過ぎまでクルージングなので、大人の中には飽きる人もあるようです。
１階部分から入り、２階～３階への階段の移動があります。
車いすの人はどうするのか聞いたところ、１階のみで過ごすことになるとの事でした。
ランチメニューは、ハムやチーズ、フルーツ、ミニハンバーガー用に挟む、レタスやトマト、ローストビーフのスライス。クッキーなどが用意されていました。コーヒーは１ドル。お酒は１０ドルでした。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales, and it was disappointing that I didn't receive any tickets afterward. However, I was glad to see a rainbow. I'm curious to know what the actual probability is.

鯨には残念ながら会えず、そのあとチケットもくれなくて残念でした。
ただ虹は見れたのでよかったです。実際どのくらいの確率が知りたいです。

I participated in the morning! It was very early, but thanks to Julie's conversation along the way, I arrived at the port without getting bored. One of the most impressive things she said was that we must find Mr. Dolphin!

It actually took about two hours to find him, and most of the boats had given up on seeing Mr. Dolphin, but I persevered and finally saw him! I’m not very comfortable in the ocean, and it was my first time snorkeling, but I managed! The longer I searched, the more I wanted to meet him again. I want to participate again!

I recommend not scheduling anything after the participation because it's nature, and sticking to the schedule can be tough.

On the day, I saw: 1) a manta ray, 2) a sea turtle, 3) two whales, and 4) Mr. Dolphin. I saw the whales more than Mr. Dolphin, probably because it was the season!

Also, for beginners, instead of bringing a camera and risking dropping it in the ocean, I think it's better to take pictures on the boat. The photographer will take pictures in the water, so relying on that is the best option! However, if you do bring a camera, make sure it’s waterproof! Use a waterproof camera or case, and keep your belongings in a waterproof bag! It was quite cold in the morning, so wearing an ultra-light down jacket was just right.

Since you’ll be on the boat for a long time, take precautions against seasickness! However, if you look far away, you won’t get seasick!

Please search hard!

Have a great trip!

わたしは午前に参加しました！朝がとても早かったですが、道中ジュリさんが話し通してくれたので飽きることなく港に到着。その中でイルカ先生を必ず見つける！というのが印象的な言葉でした
実際見つけるまでに２時間ほどかかりましたが、ほとんどの船がイルカ先生を見ることに諦めていましたがねばってやっと見れました！
わたしは海が苦手で、シュノーケリングも初めてでしたがなんとかなりました！
長く探せば探すほど先生に会いたくなります
また参加したいです！
オススメはその参加のとき、後ろに予定を入れないほうがいいとおもいます！自然相手なので時間通りはきついと思います
※私は当日会えたのは①マンタ②ウミガメ③クジラ２頭④イルカ先生
クジラはシーズンだったのかイルカ先生より会えました笑
　
あと、初心者の方は自分でイルカ撮るぞ！とカメラ持っていって海に落とすより、船内で写真を撮るイメージがいいとおもいます。カメラマンが海では撮ってくれるのでそれに頼るほうがベストだと思います笑
ただ、持っていくなら必ず防水対策を！！防水カメラや防水ケースに‥
荷物は防水袋に！！朝はかなり寒いのでウルトラライトダウンを着てちょうどよかったです。
だいぶ長く船にいるので船酔い対策を！ただ。遠くを観ていると酔いません！
一生懸命探してください！

それでは良い旅を！

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time during a personal trip to celebrate my retirement. Thanks to the instructor, I was able to stand up early on, and I am grateful for the guidance. After returning home, I received the photos and videos taken by the photographer, so I can relive the excitement of my first SUP experience anytime.

定年退職を記念した個人旅行で初めて体験しました。インストラクターのおかげで早い段階で立ち上がる事が出来、指導に感謝です。帰国後カメラマン撮影の写真と動画を送ってもらったのでいつでも感動の初SUP体験を見る事が出来るようになりました。

The airport bus was neither good nor bad, but I was surprised when the driver asked for a tip when getting off! I thought it was included. I have already contacted the organizer.

空港バスは可も不可もなかったが
降りるときに運転手よりチップ要求にびっくり!
チップ込みかと。
既に主催者に連絡しました。

The local guide was unique and made the sightseeing enjoyable.

Thanks to them, even though I was sleepy from jet lag, I was able to enjoy the tour without sleeping.

I was very satisfied.

名物ガイドさんがユニークで楽しく観光できました。

おかげで、時差ボケで眠かったけど、寝ないで観光できました。

大変満足でした。

Overall the was a great time! The crew was great and did an excellent job with the underwater photography. Great pics and video!

Would recommend this adventure to anyone.

Be sure to bring dry clothes and towels

My little family of 3 took a much-needed, very rare vacation for six days on Oahu, and on the final day scheduled an afternoon sailing cruise. Unfortunately our 22yo daughter was ill and unable to go along with the two of us on the Catamaran, and we were unable to get a refund for her ticket. However, I did not regret a penny we spent on the ride. The captain and crew were entertaining, and kept the beverages flowing along with the banter. They were non-intrusive when we just wanted to enjoy the view and ride, and wonderfully instructive when there were sights to see and safety precautions to take. We loved every minute, and wanted it to last much longer than it did, even though we are not boat-out-on-open-water people at all. Thank you for a wonderful end to our vacation!

I participated with two friends! When we arrived at Keana Farm, the receptionist first asked for our names and confirmed if we had a reservation. After that, we checked in on an iPad. We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.

On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again. The four instructors who accompanied us were all friendly, which was great.

友達2人で参加しました！ケアナファームに着いたらまず受付の人に名前を聞かれ、予約の名前があるかを確認された後、iPadでチェックインをします。その後は貴重品はロッカーに預け、ロッカーに入らない大きめのバックやパーカーは受付の人に預けました。

2個目か3個目のジップラインでゴール地点に赤っぽいロープがあるからそれを握るようにって言われてたのにうまく握れずそのままリバースしてしまいインストラクターの方に救出してもらいました。かなり申し訳なくて謝ったらインストラクターさんすごく優しくて、英語で大丈夫ですよって言ってくれました。それと何より助けてくれてる姿がかっこよかったです（笑）日本語は通じないですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれます。私は絶叫系大好きなのでジップラインすごく楽しめました！！またしたいです。私達についてくれた4人のインストラクターさんも気さくな方ばかりで良かったです。

We were very lucky to see whales throughout most of the tour. At least 10 sightings, usually with 2 whales at a time.

Food was delicious but it was hard to sit and enjoy your meal when you are looking for whales too. Every time someone shouted "WHALE!", everyone dropped everything but their cameras and ran towards the edge of the deck.

Luckily, there were a lot of whales out that day so I got to finish my food and saw plenty of whales.

Photos don't do justice for whale watch tours, it's better to watch with your own eyes. You don't want to be fussing over your camera because next thing you know, the whales have disappeared back underwater.

Wonderful experience, would love to go again!

The skies were grey and even with light drizzle the humpback whales were there along with the warm crew of the Star of Honolulu to greet us in Hawaii! I've never seen so many whales on one whale watch and it was my first time to see a turquoise color right next to the whale. Their white pectoral fins turns changes color underwater so it was easier to spot them this time around. The lunch on board was delicious...... The roast beef and those macadamia nut cookies keeps you going back for more. Thank you Star of Honolulu for a very stable ride and wonderful experience to see these enormous animals up so close!

Great for friends looking for a fun time & get your money's worth of booze! We got the Hibiscus package which includes 3 premium drinks.

Do not go to the bar first! Go to the gift shop, buy yourself a $10 Tiki cup and double the value of your drink tickets! I wish someone had told me that beforehand. My first drink came in a little plastic cup that was half the size of the Tiki cup (See photos).

Good food & lots of entertainment! You really feel like you crashed a local's backyard party right down to the sand caught in between your toes at this beachfront luau.

Highly recommend, would love to go again!

We experienced this as a couple. As soon as we arrived, we were able to board the boat without waiting. There were a total of four groups on the boat. Right after boarding, we were given life jackets and headed out to sea! It was cloudy, so it was cold until we got out to the open water—I regretted not bringing a long-sleeve rash guard, but once we were up in the air, I forgot all about the cold and had so much fun! The 150-meter height and the duration of the flight were longer compared to others, and I didn't feel much fear at all. I had confirmed the photo service for $30 from previous experiences, and I was glad I ordered it because I received photos that I couldn't take myself! The tip and photo service payment are separate, so it's a good idea to bring some small change. You can return within two hours, making it a great way to use your morning or afternoon—highly recommended!

夫婦二人で体験しました。
到着してすぐ、待たずに船に乗れました。合計4組で船に乗りました。
乗ってすぐにライフジャケットを着せてもらって沖へ！
曇っていたので沖に出るまでが寒かったですー長袖のラッシュガードを持って行けばよかったと後悔しましたが、上空は寒さも忘れるくらい楽しかったですー！150メートル、滞空時間もほかに比べて長いですし恐怖感はそこまで感じませんでした。
事前に体験談で確認していた写真サービス30ドル、自分では撮ることができない写真がもらえたので頼んで良かったです！
チップと写真サービスの支払いは別なので細かいお金を少し用意していくといいです。２時間以内で戻って来られるので朝も、午後も有意義に使えるしおススメです！

Our driver was amazing! He kept up a running commentary on all the best places to eat, names of plants, celebrity houses, the works. He was always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they sounded. He gave up plenty of info on the area we would be snorkeling in and the best parts of the reef to visit. He unfortunately did not have a pair of prescription goggles that I could use (I forgot to mention when booking) but he let me know I could rent a pair at the bay to ensure that I could see all the wonders below the ocean. He also had underwater cameras for purchase which was a bonus!!!

10/10 I would totally book transportation to go snorkeling with this company again.

I participated with my 7-year-old son.
While experiencing the nature and culture of Hawaii from the boat, we encountered three teachers: the dolphin, the whale, and the sea turtle.
My son was super excited by the whale teacher's splash.
We also met many of our favorite green sea turtle teachers.
We had a hard time finding the dolphin teacher, but we finally met just before returning to the harbor and swam with it, even though it was a bit far away.
Thanks to the staff, my son was able to experience all the activities.
I lack physical strength, but thanks to the staff, my son had an unforgettable experience.
I don't know when the next time will be, but I want to build my stamina for a re-enrollment at Dolphin University.

7歳の息子と二人で参加。
船上からのハワイの自然、文化に触れながら先生たちの元へ、
イルカ。クジラ。ウミガメ。三先生に出会えました。
クジラ先生のスプラッシュに息子大興奮。
大好きなアオウミガメ先生にもたくさんであいました。
イルカ先生にはなかなか会えず帰港間際に出会え、少々遠いながらも一緒にドルフィンスイム。
息子、アクティビティーもスタッフの皆様のおかげですべて体験できました。
私は体力がなくスタッフ皆様のおかげで息子が一生の思い出となる経験ができました。
次回はいつになるかわかりませんがイルカ大学再入学のために母は体力をつけたいと思います。

First time paragliding
I challenged myself at 150.
I participated with my mother and daughter.
It was scary but fun‼️
I got to see Honolulu from the sea.
I was lucky to see whales up close as well.
Photos are available for an additional $30 if you request them.
A tip of $10 is appreciated.
I definitely encourage everyone to give it a try!

ぜひ皆さんもチャレンジして下さいね。

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.

The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.

The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!

Highly Recommend!!

I watched the show for the first time this time.
I was able to see it from a seat right in front of the stage.
The dinner was delicious, and once the show started, I was so captivated that I forgot to breathe.
I was moved to tears.
It was the best time.
I want to come again.

今回初めてショーを観ました。
ステージ前の席で観れました。
ディナーも美味しく、ショーが始まってからは呼吸をするのを忘れてしまうほど魅了されてしまいました。
涙が出るほど感動しました。
最幸の時間。
また来たいです。

I attended with my two children, one in first grade and the other in fourth grade, and the staff provided support, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. After searching for a while, we were able to see many wild dolphins.

*I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness.*

小1、小4の2人の子連れでしたが、スタッフの方々にも、サポートいただき安心して参加できました。しばらくイルカ探しした後、沢山の野生イルカに会えました。

※酔い易い方は酔い止めをお勧めします。

The sandbar didn't appear, and it was cold! If you're going in January, you might need to wear a wetsuit to enjoy it! Also, long sleeves and something to cover up are a must!

However, at the snorkeling spots, the cold disappeared, and I was able to observe the fish closely! The snorkeling staff were very kind and considerate, which was great!

Since the only drinks available were carbonated, if you're not a fan, it's better to bring your own water or tea! Also, for those with children, I recommend bringing something to eat for when they can't have a meal!

Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory thanks to the consideration of the guides!

サンドバーもあらわれず、寒いっ‼︎
1月に行かれる方はウェットスーツを着ないと楽しめないかも！あとは長袖と羽織るもの必須！
だけどもシュノーケルをするところでは、寒さがなくなり、魚をじっくり見れました！
シュノーケルの方々は凄く優しいですし、気遣ってくれてよかったです！
飲み物が炭酸しかないので苦手な方は水やお茶を持参した方がよいです！あとは子供連れの方は食べれない時に何か持っていくことをオススメします！
ツアー参加はツアーを案内してくれた方々の気遣いで良い思い出にはなりました！

I thought it was a sandbar, but the tide came in, and it turned into just a sandy shallow area. Given the season, it was cold just to have my feet in the water, so in the end, I went in the sea a bit and then waited on the boat. It should be mentioned in advance that this only happens during low tide, or that it will turn into a sandy shallow area.

サンドバーだと思ったら、潮が満ちて、単なる砂地の浅瀬になってた。季節柄、足だけ浸かってると寒いし、結局ちょっと海に入って後は船上で待機。引き潮の時に限るか、砂地の浅瀬になるということを事前に言っておくべき。

- The weather was cloudy, but when the sun broke through, the color of the sea changed dramatically and was beautiful.
- I participated in January, and it was very cold with strong winds. Warm clothing is a MUST.
- Reef shoes are convenient to have.
- I thought the prices were a bit high for what was offered.

・天気が曇っていたのですが、晴れ間が指したときに、海の色が一気に変わって綺麗でした。
・1月に参加しましたが、風が強く、非常に寒かったです。防寒着はMUSTです。
・リーフシューズがあると便利です
・料金については内容については少し高いかなと思いました

They provide transportation to the hotel. You will go to the destination with other people. We were in a two-person ride, but three-person rides are also possible. There were some individuals who came alone, and in that case, they will fly with another solo rider. I'm not good with heights, but I intentionally chose to go up to 150 meters. Looking down was a bit scary, but it was totally fine. They also fulfilled the promise of a splash in the sea (in my case, I was dropped quite deep). The staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. The scenery was great, and it was truly the best!

ホテルまで送迎してくれます。他の方たちと一緒に目的地に行くことになります。自分達は2人乗りでしたが、3人乗りも可能です。1人できている方もいて、その場合は他の1人乗りの方と一緒に飛ぶことになります。自分は高いところが苦手ですが、あえて150mにしました。下を見たら若干怖かったですが、全然大丈夫でした。お約束の海ポチャもしてくれました（私の場合は、結構深くまで落とされました）。スタッフの方も明るく、楽しかったです。景色もよく、本当に最高でした！

I joined on January 24th (Thursday) because I wanted to see whales. Unfortunately, on this day, the whales only showed themselves briefly above the water. We were able to see them six times, but each time they only appeared for about 5 to 6 seconds after spouting water, revealing a bit of their backs, and finally showing their tails above the water before diving down. Like other reviews, I wasn't able to see them jump high.

Aside from the whales, dolphins jumped right next to the boat. They didn't perform the typical front flips you see at aquariums, but instead, they showed us two sideways twists like gymnast Kohei Uchimura.

After the boat left the port, it rained lightly for about ten minutes, and after taking shelter on the third deck, when we returned to the rooftop, a rainbow appeared across the sea, 180 degrees opposite the sun. Since we were on the water, there was nothing to obstruct the rainbow, creating a stunning view of vibrant colors from one side of the water to the other.

１月２４日（木曜日）　クジラを見たくて参加しました。
この日のクジラは、あいにく少ししか海上に姿を現しませんでした。回数では６回見ることができましたが、いずれも潮を噴き上げてから約５，６秒後に背中を少し現し、最後はテールを上（海上）に出して沈んで行きました。他の口コミ同様、大きくジャンプする姿を見ることはできませんでした。
クジラ以外ではイルカが船のすぐ横で海上をジャンプしてくれました。水族館で見せてくれるような前周りでは無く、体操の白井選手のような横ひねりを２回見せてくれました。
船が港を出港した後に１０分くらい小雨が降り、屋上デッキから３階へ避難した後に屋上に戻ってくると、太陽と反対側海上１８０度に渡り虹が姿を現しました。海上なので虹を遮るものが無く、水面から反対の水面まで七色にすばらしい光景を見せてくれました。

On January 25th (Friday), I participated in the "Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Majestic with Live Music and Buffet/Fireworks Viewing + All-You-Can-Eat Appetizers (with Free Drinks) <Friday Only/Participation until March 31, 2019>" course with a group of seven. It was everyone's first time participating.

Before boarding, we presented the WEB voucher (coupon) displayed on our smartphones at the office on the pier to obtain our boarding tickets.

After boarding, we were welcomed with champagne, and then asked about the number of people in our group, after which we were assigned a table.

Once seated, a staff member came to take our drink orders within 5 to 10 minutes. At this time, we were informed that alcohol was not included in the free drinks. I mistakenly thought that while drinks were free, alcohol would incur a charge due to my reservation.

After ordering a bottle of wine and beer, I checked the WEB voucher on my smartphone again and saw that it stated "Free Alcohol." I then filed a complaint and had all the alcohol provided for free.

If the voucher had been in paper form like in the past, it would have been collected at check-in on the pier, and I wouldn't have been able to file a complaint on board.

Unfortunately, due to cloudy weather, we couldn't see the sunset, but the meal was decent. The live music was good.

In addition to the above, I would like to mention the following:
During the live performance, there was a dance time, but it was held at the entrance of the live music floor (2nd floor), making it inconvenient to move between floors. I thought the live music should be on the opposite side.
Since we were a group of seven, we did not use the shuttle service from the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Hotel (which costs $15 per person round trip, additional charge) and instead took a taxi from the hotel. The fare to the pier was $38 (including tip) due to evening traffic, and the return trip was $24 (including tip). A taxi can accommodate five passengers in its three-row seating.
The Majestic is docked at "Aloha Tower Marketplace Pier 6. It is located on the right side when walking east along Ala Moana Boulevard from Aloha Tower." This information was correct, but we got a bit lost on-site. The reason was that the ship's operating company, "ATLANTIC CRUISES," was prominently displayed on the hull, but we didn't pay attention to the company name and took a while to notice the smaller "MAJESTIC" written elsewhere. Google Maps directed us to the west side of the Star of Honolulu. Ultimately, we were guided by the office of the Star of Honolulu.

インターネットを利用して１月２５日（金曜日）に「サンセット・ディナークルーズ　マジェスティック号　生演奏とビュッフェ付き/花火鑑賞＋アペタイザー食べ放題（フリードリンク付き）＜金曜日限定/2019年3月31日までのご参加＞コースに７名で参加しました。全員が今回初めての参加です。

船の出航前に桟橋のオフィスにおいて、スマートフォンに記載されている　WEBヴァウチャー(クーポン券)を提示して乗船券を入手しました。

乗船後、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただき、続いてグループの人数を質問され、着席するテーブルを指定されました。

テーブルに着席後、担当者が５～１０分でドリンクの注文に現れました。この際にアルコールは有料であると案内されました。この時は予約を確保した私の間違いで、フリードリンクだがアルコールは有料なのかと思ってしまいました。

ボトルワインやビールを注文した後に、今一度スマートフォンに記載されているWEBヴァウチャーを確認すると「Free Alcohol」と記載されています。そこで、クレームを申し出てアルコールをすべて無料にしていただきました。

WEBヴァウチャーで無く、昔のように紙媒体のヴァウチャーであったなら桟橋のチェックイン時に紙は回収されており、船内でクレームを申し出ることができなかったと思います。

あいにくの曇り空でサンセットは見えませんでしたが、食事はまずまずでした。
生演奏は良かったです。

上記以外に下記をご案内させていただきます。
　生演奏最中にダンスタイムがあるのですが、生演奏フロア（２階）の出入り口で行っている為に他のフロアへの出入りに不便です。反対側で生演奏すべきと思いました。
　我々は７名で参加しましたので、ハイアットリージェンシーワイキキホテルからの送迎（お一人往復＄１５。別料金。）は利用せず。ホテルからタクシーを利用しました。往路は夕方の渋滞料金で一台＄３８（チップ込）、帰路は一台＄２４（チップ込）。タクシーは３列シートなので一台で５名乗車できます。
　マジェスティック号は「アロハタワー・マーケットプレース・ピア６に係留されています。アロハタワーからアラモアナ通りに沿って東に向かって歩き右側にあります。」と案内されています。この案内に間違いありませんでしたが我々は現地で少し迷いました。その理由は、船体に大きく船の運航会社である「ATLANTIC CRUISES」と記載されているのですが、船会社に注目していなかった為、別の所に小さい文字で「MAJESTIC」と記載されていることになかなか気づきませんでした。グーグル地図ではスターオブホノルル号の西側を案内します。最終的にはスターオブホノルルの事務所で教えていただきました。

It seemed that there were strict distance regulations for approaching the whales, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did catch glimpses a few times. I took my 5-year-old child with me, but the whale sightings were brief and unpredictable, which made it a bit boring for them. We also saw a double rainbow.

クジラへの接近は距離が厳しく決まっていそうでしたので、それほど間近では見れませんが何度か見れました。
5歳の子供を連れて行ってましたが、クジラが見れても一瞬で、どこに出現するかもわからないので少し退屈しておりました。
あとダブルレインボーが見れました。

I experienced snorkeling with wild dolphins for the first time. I love snorkeling, but I was very scared of the deep water and couldn't jump in until the third round when it looked a bit shallower, so I gathered my courage and jumped in. Even though I was still scared, I swam, and I was moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming in the distance!

In the fourth round, I decided to watch from the boat, and to my surprise, a pod of about 30 to 40 dolphins lined up right below the boat (within reach!) and swam alongside us for a long distance! I was so amazed that I kept saying, "Incredible!!! Incredible!!!" The tour guide mentioned that they had been doing this for a year, but this was their first time experiencing something like this! They were also saying, "Incredible!!!" along with me!

I had my phone in the back of the boat, and I thought if I left the spot, the dolphins would swim away, so unfortunately, I couldn't take any pictures. But I had a wonderful and precious experience!!! Thank you very much!

初めての野生のイルカとシュノーケリングを体験しました。
私はシュノーケリングは大好きなのですが、深いところがとても怖く
2ラウンドまで怖くて飛び込めませんでしたが、3ラウンド目に少し浅瀬に見えたので、勇気を出して飛び込みました。それでも怖いながらもがんばって
泳いでいるとイルカの群れがが遠くの方で泳いでるのが見え感動でした！
4ラウンド目には船の上から見ることにして眺めていると
なんと！　30～40ぐらいのイルカの群れが船の私のいる真下の先頭に横一列になり（手が届きそうな距離）ずっと船頭してくれたのです！！！
結構な距離をずっとです！
感激過ぎてずっと　すごい！！！すごい！！！とゆうばかり！！！
ツアーの方も１年いますけど、こんな体験は初めてです！と言ってました。
その方も私と一緒にすごい！！！と言っていました！
舩の奥に携帯があったのでその場をたつとどこかへ行ってしまうと思い
写真は残念ながらとることができなかったのが残念です。
でも素晴らしい貴重な体験ができました！！！
ありがとうございました！

The unlimited rides are a lot of fun, but they were more intense than I expected, so the kids only enjoyed the wave pool! If you have a group that loves thrills, I think they'll be very satisfied! The park mainly offers carbonated drinks. There is water available, but for those who prefer tea, it's better to bring a bottle since you can bring one from home!

乗り放題で凄く楽しいけど、思っていたより激しめのため、子供達は波のプールくらいしか楽しんでいませんでした！
激しいのが好きなグループなら、すきすきなので大満足だと思います！
パーク内は炭酸飲料ばかり。水はあるけど、お茶派はペットボトル1本持ち込み可なので持ち込んだ方がベターです！

I compared various tours to the sandbar, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The tour included a sandbar visit, a hamburger lunch, sea turtle observation, and snorkeling points where I could enjoy the sea filled with many sea turtles, fish, and coral reefs.

サンドバーに行くツアーをいろいろ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、ハンバーガーのランチ、海ガメ観察、スノーケリングポイントで海ガメや魚やサンゴ礁がたくさんの海を堪能できて、大満足でした。

Due to the large number of participants on the day of the tour, we were picked up by a large sightseeing bus. As a result, it didn't arrive at the meeting time, and I had to confirm by phone (the communication was in English, but they responded in simple English when I mentioned my name).

The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and the airflow adjustment was broken. It would be better to have a light long-sleeve shirt.

When we arrived at the port, there was a toilet traffic jam, but they waited until the last person came out. (There are also toilets on the boat.) A very cheerful Black guide and a small, energetic Japanese guide provided explanations.

At the sandbar, there was a volleyball net set up, and we could play freely. It was a pity that there was only one ball...

Lunch was described as BBQ, but it was a hamburger made with meat patties grilled on the boat and served in a bun! It was quite filling, and if there were leftovers, you could get seconds!

We were able to see 7 to 9 sea turtles even in mid-January!

After snorkeling, warm drinks were provided, making it a very satisfying day.
*There is no place to change into swimsuits, so I recommend changing early on the boat's deck or in the restroom!

当日のツアー人数が多かったためなのか、大型の観光バスでのpickupでした。そのため集合時間になっても来ず、電話で確認しました（英語でののやり取りでしたが、名前を言うと簡単な英語で回答して下さいました。）

バスの中は冷房ガンガンで風量調整も壊れてました。薄手の長袖があるとベターです。

港に着くとトイレ渋滞が発生しましたが、最後の人が出てくるまで待ってくれます。（船にもトイレあります）
とても陽気な黒人ガイドさんと小柄で元気いっぱいの日本人ガイドさんが説明して下さいました。

サンドバーではバレーのネットが設置されており自由に遊ぶことができます。
ボールが1個しかなかったのが残念…。。

昼食はBBQと記載がありましたが、船で焼いたお肉のパティをパンで挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした！結構ボリュームもありましたが、余りがあればおかわりもできます‼︎‼︎

ウミガメは1月中旬でも7〜9匹見ることができました‼︎

シュノーケリング後、温かい飲み物も用意されており大満足の一日でした。
※水着を着替えるところはないので、船のデッキかトイレで早めに着替えることをお勧めします！
