I was disappointed that I didn't encounter any dolphins, but the staff were lively and great at keeping the energy up, so overall I was satisfied. There were similar tours available, but I participated because a friend recommended it. I don't think the experience is the same every time due to seasonal variations, so it's a tour I would like to experience multiple times. Next time, I want to join a different tour for comparison.
イルカにはなかなか遭遇できなかったのが残念でしたが、スタッフの人達が元気に盛り上げ上手でトータル的には満足でした。類似のツアーが他にもありましたが、友人お勧めでしたので参加しました。季節的にも毎回同じではないと思いますので何回も体験したいツアーです。 次回は別のツアーに参加して比較したいと思います。

I chose this tour again because I saw dolphins and turtles last time. I'll probably choose this tour again next time as well.
前回もイルカや亀が見れたので、またこのツアーにしました。

I had a great time! Actually, I got seasick and spent most of the time on the boat, but I was happy that the staff were concerned about me.
It seems that the dolphins were a bit nervous because a baby had just been born, so I was able to see them from the boat, but it looks like the people swimming couldn't see them.
My daughter said she was disappointed about not seeing the dolphins, but she was moved when she saw the sea turtles.
That said, the staff were really fun and felt like family!
The hula was surprisingly enjoyable too (^_^)v
This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!
とても楽しかったです 実は私は船酔いしてしまいほとんど船の上でしたが...
スタッフの皆が心配してくれて嬉しかったです
イルカは赤ちゃんが生まれたてで神経質になっているらしく船上の私からは見れましたが 泳いでいる人からは見れなかったみたいです
娘はイルカは残念だったけどウミガメを見たとき感動したと言っていました
それにつけてもスタッフの皆さんがとても楽しくオハナでした!
フラも意外と楽しかったです(^_^)v

The tour we participated in was something that my daughters went on about a week ago and were very impressed by. Hearing this, my husband and I eagerly joined, believing without a doubt that we would get to see dolphins. The tour description did mention that since it involves nature, there are rare occasions when you might not see them. However, we didn't see a single dolphin, and only a few fish. I was really disappointed to see such a big difference from what we expected. We did receive a half-price voucher for the next time, but I don't think we'll participate for a while.
That said, the performance of the staff was very good.
私たちが参加したこのツアーは、娘たちが、一週間ほど前に行って、感激したものでした。この話を聞いた私と主人は もう疑いなくイルカに会えるものだと、意気込んでの参加でした。ツアーの説明には、自然が相手の物なので、会えないことも稀にある旨のことは、もちろん書いてありましたが。本当に一頭のイルカとも会えず、魚もほんの少し。その時々で、こんなに違うものか、と、本当にがっかりしました。次回半額券はいただきましたが、しばらくは、参加できないと思います。
ただ、スタッフの方たちのパフォーマンスは、大変良かったですよ。

I went to Hawaii to see wild dolphins! I was so moved when I found the dolphins that I almost cried from happiness (*^_^*).
When observing the dolphins from the water, the staff guided us with instructions like "Look ahead!" and "Look to the left!" so I was able to see the dolphins clearly. Moreover, since the dolphins passed by quickly, they took us to the next spot to see them again, and we were able to see dolphins a total of four times!!
The staff were very accommodating, and we were laughing the whole time, which helped minimize seasickness. What made me happiest was seeing the staff share in the joy when we spotted the dolphins.
野生のイルカが見たくてハワイに行きました!
イルカを見つけた時は感動で涙が出るくらい嬉しかったです(*^_^*)
海の中からイルカを観察する時は、スタッフさんが「前見て~!!」「左見て~!」と指示してくださったので、しっかりとイルカが見れました☆
しかも、イルカが早く通り過ぎたのでもう一度見よう!と次のスポットまで案内してくださり、なんと、合計4回もイルカを見ることができました!!
スタッフの方の対応もよく、終始笑いっぱなしで、船酔いも少なくて済みました♪何よりもイルカが見えた時に、一緒にスタッフさんも喜んでいたのがとても見ていて嬉しくなりました。

I went on a trip to Hawaii from July 12 to July 17. One of the main events was participating in a snorkeling tour with dolphins. The pickup was at 5:50 AM, which was tough, but I was very satisfied as I got to see a pod of dolphins. While they weren't right in front of me, I was still quite pleased. The hula experience was also enjoyable and satisfying.
7/12~7/17の期間でハワイ旅行へ行ってきました。その中のメインイベントとしてイルカとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップが5:50と早朝だったので大変でしたが、イルカの群れはバッチシ見れて大変満足でした。
目の前にイルカが!というほどではありませんでしたが、十分満足できました。

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.
The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.
All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.
There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊
早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。
スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです^^

From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!
Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.
On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!

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!!

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.
イルカと泳げることを期待して参加したツアーですが、天候に恵まれず、波は高く、雨が時々降って寒かったです。
幸い、イルカポイントに達すると野生のイルカの群れを発見、船内に歓声があがりました。
海に入ってイルカの群れに近づくと、海中をイルカの群れがサーッと横切って行きました。
イルカのスピードが速くて、ほんの一瞬のことでしたが、感激!
全員がイルカを見られたことを確認して船に上がり、再び、船はイルカを追いかけました。
船長の「もう一度入る?」というオファーがありましたが、寒さのため、誰も積極的に手を上げません。
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。
フラの道具の説明もあり、ハワイアン・カルチャーにふれることができました。
今日のツアー、スタッフがとってもよかったです。
お世話係のゆかさんはとってもチャーミングでやさしく、気配り十分。
船長ジョンさんはチーズバーガーに当たりを3つ入れてくれるなどサービス精神たっぷり。
二人のロコボーイも楽しいです。
DJケコアはタカアンドトシのタカ似で、茶目っ気たっぷりでウクレレや歌も上手。
長身で若いパトリックはダンスがとっても上手。
天気のいい時にまた再び彼らとイルカに会いに行きたいです。
参加されるみなさん、酔い止め薬の服用をお勧めします。

It was a bit early to gather before 6 AM, but I was glad to experience the refreshing Hawaiian morning. The tour included a lot of activities such as searching for dolphins, snorkeling, BBQ, and hula lessons. The crew was very enjoyable, and I made great memories. However, I felt it was more about observing the dolphins rather than swimming with them, so I wish there had been an option to choose life jackets according to our comfort level. Also, it would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling.
朝は6時前に集合のため少し早起きですが、
すがすがしいハワイの朝を体験することができよかったです。ツアー内容もイルカを探し、シュノーケリング、BBQやフラレッスンと盛りだくさんでした。
クルーの方々もとても楽しく、よい思い出ができました。
ただ、イルカと泳ぐというより観察する感じだったので、レベルに合わせてライフジャケットの着用を選べたりすればよかったなぁと思うのと、シュノーケリングの時間をもう少しとってもらえたら、尚よかったかなと思いました。

This was my first time participating in a dolphin tour. The weather wasn't great, but I had a lot of fun meeting many wild dolphins. I was able to see dolphins both in the water and from the boat, including some that jumped like in a show. Surprisingly, I also saw a whale, which I thought was too early for this time of year. I can only say I was lucky.
During the snorkeling at a different spot, I encountered many fish, turtles, and even stingrays. I didn't expect to see so many marine creatures, so I was excited the entire time I was snorkeling. I had heard that kayaking was an option, but I completely forgot about it. The guides were kind and made the experience enjoyable. I was surprised to see that they were all handsome.
I read experiences about severe seasickness, so I made sure to take medication before participating, which helped me avoid getting sick. It was cold when I got out of the water, so it's better to have a jacket.
今回初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天気はイマイチでしたが、たくさんの野生のイルカたちに会うことができてとても楽しかったです。
イルカは海の中でも船の上からでも見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプするイルカも。
そしてなんとこの時期にはまだ早いと思うのですがクジラもみれました。これは運が良かったとしかいえないです。

The staff was very accommodating, and overall, I had a good time. However, the main focus of this tour was supposed to be "swimming with dolphins." The time spent seeing dolphins in the water was surprisingly short, just a few seconds, and they were quite far away. I thought there would be more to it, but I was quickly told to return to the boat, and then we moved on to a spot with turtles and tropical fish. During the transfer, I saw another company snorkeling very close to dolphins jumping, and I was really envious. They must have noticed the short time we had with the dolphins, as we went back to the dolphin point at the end, where we could see them from the boat. However, if the tour is just about seeing dolphins, there are cheaper options available. I hate to be repetitive, but "swimming with dolphins" was the reason I joined this tour... I understand that they are wild animals, but I wish we had been taken to another dolphin point instead of the turtle point after the first stop.
スタッフの方の対応もよく、全体的には楽しめました。
が・・・このツアーのメインは“イルカと泳ぐ”のはず。海の中でイルカを見られたのは驚くほど短く、ほんの数秒。しかもかなり遠い。まさかそれで終わりではないだろうと思っていたのに、すぐに船に戻れと言われ、その後はカメや熱帯魚のいるポイントへ。移動中、別の会社がイルカのジャンプしているすぐ近くでスノーケルしているのが見えて、とってもうらやましかったです。さすがにメインのイルカの時間の短さを気にして下さったのか、最後に再度イルカのポイントへ行き、船の上からイルカを見ることはできましたが、イルカを見るだけのツアーならもっと安いツアーがあります。しつこいようですが、“イルカと泳ぐ”がこのツアーに参加した目的だったのに・・・
野生の生き物なのでしょうがないという気持ちもありますが、最初のポイントの後に、カメポイントではなく、別のイルカポイントに連れて行ってほしかったです。
Thank you for participating. We regret that you were unable to experience swimming closely with wild dolphins this time. Our captain assesses the sea conditions of the day and guides you to the best spots where wild dolphins are known to pass. However, please understand that, due to the nature of wild animals, the number of opportunities to swim with them and the distance to the dolphins can vary from day to day.
ご参加いただき有難うございます。このたびは水中で野生のイルカと間近で一緒に泳ぐ体験をしていただけなかったようで残念に思っております。船長がその日の海の状況を見て、野生のイルカがいるベストスポット(イルカの通り道)へご案内させていただくようにしておりますが、自然の生き物のため、日により一緒に泳げる回数やイルカとの距離は変化しておりますことご了承ください。

First, the hula instructor teaches in a fun way. They also lend you props, so even those who are not feeling motivated will get excited (laughs).
Next, we went to the sea to meet dolphins! Although the time we spent swimming together was short, we were able to swim with dolphins and turtles! Even if you don't encounter dolphins, I think it's a tour that can still be enjoyed thanks to the various performances by the staff on the boat (including dance and jokes).

I participated alone, but both the crew and other guests were friendly, so I highly recommend it!
I took motion sickness medication before departure, and I didn't feel sick at all on the boat or in the pickup van, so it's a must for those who are worried about it. In fact, about two people got seasick on the boat and couldn't go snorkeling with the dolphins.
Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, I thought it would depend on luck, but a mother dolphin and her five calves swam slowly around us! It was a lucky day because the water was very clear!
We moved to another spot and snorkeled among about eight sea turtles! The taro bread hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious!
We were able to return to Waikiki by noon, so I highly recommend it!
ワイキキに到着してからリコンファームしましたが日本語でOKで、当日の朝早くに確認のモーニングコールくれました。
一人参加でしたが、クルーもお客さんも仲良く過ごせるのでオススメです!
出発前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたら、ボートの上でもピックアップのバンでも全然酔わなかったので、心配な方はマストです。
実際2人くらいボートで酔って、イルカシュノーケルできてませんでした。
野生のイルカ相手だから、運もあるだろうとおもってましたが、5頭のイルカの親子が私達の周りを本当にゆっくり泳いでくれました!その日は水も透明度の高い日だったのでラッキーでした!
ポイント移動して、ウミガメが8頭くらいいる中でシュノーケルしました!
ランチのタロイモブレッドのハンバーガーもなかなか美味しかったです!
昼にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、オススメです!

I was feeling terrible from seasickness, but the rumored hamburger was delicious, and I got to see dolphins up close! Above all, the staff was great! They made sure we weren't bored before encountering the dolphins by entertaining us on the boat and taking lots of photos. The hula dance instructor was also amazing! Participating in this tour made me truly feel the essence of Hawaii!
船酔いして体調は最悪でしたが、
うわさのハンバーガーはおいしいし、
イルカも近くで見れました♪
なによりもスタッフがよかった!
イルカに遭遇するまでも退屈しないように
船上で楽しませてくれたり、写真も沢山撮ってくれました☆
フラダンスの先生も最高!
このツアーに参加して
ハワイを実感しました♪

I participated at five months pregnant, of course, at my own risk.
At first, I signed up for the first session, but since it was fully booked, I was recommended to join the second session, which was also nearly full in the shuttle van. It seems to be quite popular. During the ride, a DVD was playing, but few people were watching, as most were sleeping.
When we arrived at the location, we borrowed costumes and danced in a nearby field since we were going to do hula dancing first. It was over in no time, but the explanations were clear and it was fun.
Up until this point, everyone, including the others, was energetic.
We boarded the boat and arrived at the dolphin point, but there were several other boats waiting, and we had to wait patiently for our turn. During that time, we saw a few pods of dolphins. They were spinning, and there were baby dolphins too. We waited for the guide's instructions before entering the water, but the pod quickly disappeared. We saw them several times from the boat, but only caught a glimpse of them in the water.
After that, we headed to the snorkeling point, but by this time, some people started to feel seasick. I had a bad feeling too, but I thought it would be better to snorkel than stay on the boat. Following the guide, we discovered a sea turtle, and I was thrilled to see a wild sea turtle. The fish were swimming gracefully, which was also amazing.
However, perhaps due to the worsening weather, I started to feel cold. I swam until I reached my limit but got back on the boat early, and afterwards, I curled up due to seasickness and the cold. More than half of the people around me, who had been energetic just moments ago, seemed to be feeling sick as well, and we took our handmade hamburgers and chips to go. When we got off the boat, it was really strange, but my seasickness suddenly disappeared, and I was munching on a hamburger in the car, while my husband looked really miserable, haha.
I didn't get to fulfill my dream of swimming with dolphins, but overall, it was a good experience. Motion sickness medication is a must.
妊娠5ヶ月での参加でした。勿論自己責任。
最初、一部を申し込んだのですが、満席の為二部を勧められそちらに参加しましたが、二部も送迎のバン?はほぼ満席状態でした。人気なのでしょう。
行きの社内でDVDが流れていましたが、見ている人は少なく、皆寝ていました。
現地に着くと、先にフラダンスをやるという事で傍の原っぱにて衣装を借りて皆で踊りました。あっという間でしたが説明もわかりやすく楽しかったです。
他の方達含め、元気が良いのはここまでです。
船に乗り、イルカポイントに到着するも他の船も何隻か待っていて自分達の番が来るのをひたすら待ちました。その間に何回かイルカの群れを見ました。スピンもしていたし、子供イルカも居ました。
ガイドさんの指示を待って海に入りましたが、群れはあっという間に行ってしまいました。船上では何度も見れましたが、海の中では一瞬見れただけでした。
この後、今度はシュノーケルポイントに向かいましたが、この辺りで船酔いする人が出てきて、自分もちょっと嫌な予感はしましたが、船上に居るよりは良いと思いシュノーケルしました。ガイドさんについていくとウミガメを発見、野生のウミガメには感動しました。魚も悠々と泳いでいて感動です。
しかし、雲行きがあまり良くなかったせいか体が冷えてきて、限界まで泳ぎましたが早めに船に上がり、その後は襲ってきた船酔いと寒さでずっとうずくまっていました。
さっきまで元気だった周りの方達も半分以上酔っていたようで、手作りハンバーガーもチップスもお持ち帰りしました。船を下りると、本当に不思議なことにケロっと船酔いが治り私は車内でハンバーガーを頬張っていましたが旦那さんは本当に辛そうでした 笑
イルカと泳ぐ夢は叶いませんでしたが、全体的に良い体験でした。 酔い止め必須です。

Last time, I signed up for a different tour, but I was just desperately swimming after dolphins and hardly saw any. With Dolphin You, the captain predicts the dolphins' movements and takes you to the right spots, so I was able to see the pods without chasing them around. Also, the life vests allow you to adjust the air yourself, so those confident in swimming can dive, which made it a lot of fun. My 8-year-old daughter, who is good at swimming, was crying because she wanted to use an adult vest instead of a child-sized one, and Shanti kindly comforted her and switched it to an adult vest. I was very satisfied as I was able to see many dolphins during all three tries. At the turtle point, we were allowed to snorkel slowly, and I was able to swim with 4 to 5 turtles for a long time. This tour is truly filled with consideration for making guests enjoy themselves, and I was moved by that. It was completely different from the previous dolphin tour and other tours, as I always felt that they prioritized the guests. The hamburgers were delicious, and trying hula dancing turned out to be surprisingly fun. If I want to encounter dolphins again next time, I will choose this tour. Thank you, Shanti, Kaina, Ila, and Steve!!
前回は別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカを追いかけて必死に泳いでいるだけで、ほとんど姿をみられませんでした。ドルフィンユーの場合は、キャプテンがイルカの動きを予測してポイントに落としてくれるので、追いかけ回すことなくイルカの群れを見ることが出来ました。また、ライフベストも自分で空気の量を調整できるため、泳ぎに自信のある人は潜ったりすることも出来るので、とても楽しめました。泳ぎの得意な8歳の娘が子供用のベストでなく、大人用のものを使いたいと泣いていたところ、シャンティが優しく慰めてくれ、大人用のベストに替えてくれました。3回のトライすべてでたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来て大満足でした。ウミガメのポイントでもゆっくりとシュノーケルをさせてくれたので、4~5匹のウミガメとずっと泳いでいられました。このツアーは、本当にゲストを楽しませようという心遣いに溢れており、感激しました。前回のイルカツアーや、別のツアーとは全く違い、ゲストのことを第一に考えてくれていることを常に感じていました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、フラダンスもやってみると意外と楽しかったです。次回もイルカに遭いたくなったらこのツアーで行きます。シャンティ・カイナ・イラ・スティーブ、みんなありがとうね!!
