We participated on Christmas Day with our 4-year-old child. I was honestly worried about whether my child would enjoy it, but I wanted to show her the dolphins, so we joined. Of course, my child couldn't swim with the dolphins, but while my husband and I were searching for dolphins, the crew took care of our daughter, and she seemed to have a great time, for which we are truly grateful. At the next snorkeling spot, our daughter was able to get in the water and see the fish, which was really nice. A life jacket is essential, and I think it's better to rent one if you're going in winter. Next time, I want to get in the water with my daughter and show her lots of dolphins. Our guide, Julie, was so bright and gave us a lot of positive encouragement. Thank you very much!
4歳の子供とクリスマスの日に参加しました。子供が楽しめるか、正直不安でしたが、イルカを見せてあげたくて参加しました。流石に、子供はイルカと一緒には泳ぐことができませんでしたが、私達夫婦がイルカ探しをしている間、クルーの人が娘の面倒をみてくださったおかげで、ご機嫌に過ごせたようで、ほんと感謝で、助かりました。次のシュノーケリングスポットでは、娘も海に入り、魚を見ることができ、ほんとよかったです。ライフジャケットは必須で、冬に行かれる方は借りられた方がいいと思います。次回は、娘と一緒に海に入り、沢山のイルカを見せてやりたいと思います。ガイドのジュリーさんの明るさ、ほんと前向きな勇気をもらえました。ありがとうございました!

I participated on December 25th.
I encountered a family of dolphins right near the port. They swam slowly just below us, so we were able to take great photos! I also saw a sea turtle.
Since we were in the water for a long time, everyone wore wetsuits, but it might be quite cold during the movement due to the wind.
Lastly, our guide, Julie, was amazing. You can really feel her love for dolphins and nature. I highly recommend it.
12月25日に参加しました。
港の直ぐ近くで、イルカのファミリー?に出会いました。直ぐ真下をゆっくりと泳いでいるのでしっかり写真も撮れます!海ガメもみました。
長い時間海にいるので、ウェットスーツは全員着用してましたが、移動中は風で結構寒いかも。
最後に、ガイドのジュリーさん最高でした。イルカ愛と、自然愛を感じます。おススメです。

We participated as a family of four.
With a gathering time before 6 AM, our excitement on the bus heading to the port was quite low at first, but gradually lifted thanks to the staff's energetic attitude.
Even though we were in Hawaii, December was surprisingly chilly, and a wetsuit was a must for an additional fee. The boat was spacious enough, and it seemed to vary by day, but we arrived at the dolphin spot relatively quickly. We were able to meet the dolphins safely.
After dolphin watching, we moved to the turtle spot, and after seeing the turtles, we had playtime with activities like SUP and canoeing.
And, on the way back to the port, the captain spotted a whale!!
It was an unexpected encounter that brought our excitement to the max.
The captain and all the staff were incredibly friendly, and we had a fantastic time.
Oh! By the way, lunch consisted of hamburgers and juice eaten on the bus.
家族4人で参加しました。
朝6時前の集合で港へ向かうバスの中でのテンションはなかなか上がりませんでしたが、スタッフの方達の元気の良さに徐々にテンションも上がっていきました。
ハワイとはいっても、12月は流石に肌寒く別料金でしたがウエットスーツはマスト。船も十分な広さが有り、日によるようですがイルカのポイントまで割と直ぐに到着。無事にイルカ達に会うことが出来ました。
イルカウォッチングが終わりカメのポイントに移動、カメを見た後はSUPやカヌー等でのプレイタイムも有りました。
そして、なんと帰港する途中で船長がクジラを発見!!
まさかの遭遇でテンションMAXとなりました。
船の船長以下スタッフ全員がものすごくフレンドリーで目一杯楽しかったです。
あっ! ちなみに昼食はバスの中で食べるハンバーガーとジュースです。

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. I had heard that we might encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles, but since it’s nature, I thought it would depend on luck. Once we set sail and enjoyed the beautiful ocean scenery, we encountered a pod of dolphins about three times. With the crew's guidance, we were able to anticipate the direction the dolphins were swimming and saw them swimming right below us, which was very thrilling and exciting. We also encountered a large sea turtle, making it a very satisfying tour.
I participated in the tour in mid-November, but it was cold after coming out of the sea, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. There were also a few people who got seasick, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a once-in-a-lifetime memory that I could only experience here.
ハネムーンで参加しました。
野生のイルカやウミガメに出会えるとの事ですが、自然相手なので運が良ければという思いでした。いざ出港し、海上の景色も堪能していると、3回ほどイルカの群れに出会えました。クルーの方の誘導でイルカ達の泳ぐ方向へ先回りし、自分達の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいき、とても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。また、大きなウミガメにも遭遇し、とても満足いくツアーとなりました。
11月中旬にツアーに参加したのですが、海から出た後が寒く、ウエットスーツはレンタルすることをお勧めします。
船酔いでダウンされている方も数名いらっしゃったので、酔い止めは服用された方がいいかもしれません。
お天気にも恵まれ、ここでしか体験できない一生の思い出になりました。

This was my third time at Dolphin University, and I was really looking forward to it since I had such a great time each previous visit!
I was picked up at 5:45 in front of DFS. Waking up early is tough, but it's worth it to meet the dolphins. We received some instructions on the bus, and once we arrived at the port, we boarded at 7:30 and set sail!
You can store your belongings in the shelf at your feet, but since they might get wet, it's better to keep them in a plastic bag or something similar. The boat swayed quite a bit, and many people ended up feeling seasick... To avoid turning this fun trip into a tough one, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!
Also, it gets really cold on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring $10 to rent a wetsuit! The captain decides whether to head north or south based on the day's conditions, and this time we went north.
About 30 minutes after departure, we received information that dolphins were nearby! We quickly put on our fins and masks and jumped into the sea. You have to jump in quickly, or you might miss the dolphins, so there's no time to feel scared! I jumped in swiftly and swam with all my might.
The result was incredibly satisfying; I got to see so many dolphins!! There were even baby dolphins, and they were so cute! I could see them swimming underwater and popping their heads up to the surface, and I took lots of videos and photos! When you dip your ears in the water, you can hear the dolphins' sounds!
The crew was friendly and fun, and we had a great time throughout the trip. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so communication was no problem at all! I definitely want to enroll again!
今回で3回目のイルカ大学、毎回とても楽しめたので期待大で臨みました!
5:45DFS前でピックアップ、早起きは辛いですがイルカと会うためなので仕方ないです。
バスの中で注意点などの説明を受け、港に着いたら7:30に乗船し出航!
荷物は足元の棚に収納できますが、濡れることがあるのでビニール袋等に入れておいた方がよさそうです。
船はまぁまぁ揺れるので、酔ってしまう人が続出でした…せっかくの楽しい旅が辛いものにならない為に、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします!
また船の上はとても寒いので、1人10ドル持って行ってウエットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います!
港から北に行くか南に行くかはその日の状態で船長さんが決めるそうで、今回は北側に進みました。
出航後30分程度でイルカがすぐ近くにいるとの情報をキャッチ!
すぐにフィンやマスクをつけて船から海に飛び込みます。
飛び込む時は早くしないとイルカに会えなくなるので怖いとか感じている暇はありません!
とにかく素早く飛び込み必死に泳ぎました。
結果は大満足、たくさんのイルカに会えました!!
赤ちゃんイルカもいてとても可愛かったです!
肉眼で水中を泳ぐ姿や海面に顔を出すところも見れましたし、動画や写真もたくさん撮れました!
水に耳を浸けるとキューというイルカの鳴き声も聞こえます!
クルーも親切で面白い人ばかり、終始盛り上がって楽しめました。
日本語の喋れるスタッフがいるのでコミュニケーションは全く問題ありません!
ぜひまた入学したいと思います!

Around 6 AM, a bus will pick you up near the hotel. It's early in the morning, so I'm sleepy, but the guide on the bus explains about dolphins and more with quizzes, so I can't sleep (laughs).
Once we arrive at the port, there's a little time before boarding the boat, so it's a good time for a restroom break. There was also a cute cat! The bus driver even showcased his ukulele skills♪
In Hawaii, the sea is cold in November, so I rented a wetsuit. It costs $10 per person, and everyone in my group rented one. Even with the wetsuit, there were times when it was a bit chilly, so it's better to borrow one. Also, while the boat doesn't seem to rock too much, there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must! I regretted not taking it since I felt a bit queasy too★
Not long after boarding the boat, we dove into the sea because there was a pod of dolphins! I saw many dolphins swimming right in front of me. After coming back on the boat and moving to another spot, we dove again. I got to see them well the second time too, and I was able to take pictures with an underwater camera. It would have been even better if the dolphins had stayed a bit longer, but it was over in a flash.
After that, we went snorkeling and swam around in the sea. I saw a turtle up close. Apparently, you shouldn't get within 2 meters of the turtle. A staff member found an octopus somewhere and let me touch it while it was on his shoulder. It was slippery (laughs).
They brought out canoes, a slide, and stand-up paddleboards, and we all took turns playing. It was tough to stand on the paddleboard! But the staff were there to help. They even did a handstand on the paddleboard!!
Lastly, we got to see a whale, even if just a little. There are whale tours in winter, but seeing one in November is lucky☆
It was super fun, but there were two disappointing things. The information said they would take photos that you could buy later and that you would receive an eco-bag, but neither was available during my time. I really wanted a photo with the dolphins. I also wanted the eco-bag!
Other than those two points, it was a fun tour where I could fully enjoy Hawaii♪
朝6時頃にホテルの近くまでバスで迎えに来てくれます。朝早いから眠いけど、バスの中ではお姉さんがイルカ等についてクイズを交えて説明してくれるので寝れません(笑)
港に着いたら船に乗るまで少し時間があるのでトイレタイム。かわいい猫ちゃんもいました。バスの運転手さんがウクレレ披露してくれたりも♪
ハワイでも11月の海は冷たいのでウェットスーツをレンタル。1人10ドルで、私が参加した回は全員がレンタルしてました。ウェットスーツ着てても少し寒い時あったので、借りた方が良いです。あと船はそんなに揺れてないと思うけど、船酔いしちゃってる人もいたので酔い止めは必須です!私も少し船酔いしちゃったので酔い止め飲んでおけば良かったと後悔★
船に乗ってからそんなに時間が経たないうちにイルカの群がいたとのことで海にダイブ!目の前を横切っていくたくさんのイルカを見れました。1度船に上がり移動してからまたすぐにダイブ。2度目もしっかり見れて、水中カメラで撮れました。もうちょっとイルカがゆっくりその場にいてくれたらもっと最高だったけど、あっという間だったな~。
その後はシュノーケリングで海を回遊。カメもすぐ近くに見れました。カメには2m以内に近づいてはいけないらしい。スタッフさんがどこからかタコを見つけてきて肩に乗せてたので触らせてもらいました。ヌルッとしてた(笑)
カヌーや滑り台、スタンドアップパドルを出してくれてみんなで交代で遊びました。スタンドアップパドルは立つの難しかった~!でもスタッフさんがフォローしてくれます。なんとスタンドアップパドルの上で倒立してくれたりも!!
そして最後にちょこっとですがクジラを見ることができました。冬はクジラツアーあるけど、11月に見られるのはラッキー☆
すごい楽しかったけど、ちょっと残念だったことが2点。案内には写真撮ってくれて後で購入できるってこととエコバッグもらえるって書いてあったけど、私の時は両方ありませんでした。イルカと一緒の写真撮ってもらいたかったな~。エコバッグも欲しかった~!
この2点の他はハワイを満喫できる楽しいツアーでした♪

We participated in this activity because we wanted to see dolphins as a couple in our 50s. We were anxious about whether we would be able to see them, but we were moved to see dolphins swimming multiple times. Thanks to the staff who supported us.
Seeing sea turtles and enjoying delicious hamburgers along with the hula dance was also fantastic. It was a bit cold since it was early in the morning, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. There was a little time between getting off the boat and boarding the bus, so it might have been better to change into dry clothes.
We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii.

We decided to travel a lot as a family while my father, who is 70 years old, is still able to move around. We have been gathering with relatives once a month for planning for about a year now. I have always loved diving and have encouraged those around me to try it, but it seems there is a scary image associated with it, as everyone in my family except for me was quite hesitant about the dolphin school this time. However, thanks to the warm support and encouragement from the kind and cheerful staff, their anxious expressions disappeared. When the tour ended and we returned to the port, my father exclaimed, "The dolphin tour was the best!!" Normally, he doesn't joke around much, but during the tour, he was completely absorbed in enjoying the interactions with the sea and the staff, smiling the whole time! He was also earnestly dancing the hula on the boat, and I was very happy to capture those moments on camera. When I asked my 10-year-old niece what her best memory was after returning home, she immediately replied, "The dolphin school!!" My dream also came true, and I was really glad to see so many smiles from my family. The snorkeling gear and suits were in great condition, and the spam onigiri was delicious! I will definitely come back to enroll again.

On this day, the visibility underwater was poor, and the dolphins didn't come close at all.
I could only see them from a distance, and no matter how much I swam, they just kept swimming away.
In the end, the guide made some excuses...
I understand it's nature and animals we're dealing with, but I felt a bit disappointed.
At least we got to ride the slide and kayak at the end, so my son's mood improved a little.
この日は水中の透明度も悪く、イルカも全然近くに寄ってきませんでした。
別のツアーの方や遠くに見えた程度で、

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The tour guide's high energy really lifted our spirits. I joined with my kindergarten-aged child, and it seemed quite scary for them. However, thanks to the encouragement from the staff and other participants, we were able to greet the dolphins and turtles. My child is learning to swim, so they can swim, but they had no experience swimming in the ocean and were scared of the goggles and snorkel. If possible, it would have been good to purchase them and practice at the hotel pool. The sight of the dolphins swimming was graceful and incredibly moving. More than that, it was wonderful to see the island surrounded by nature from the sea. Thank you very much.
初めてのハワイで参加させていただきました。添乗員さんのハイテンションで気分は盛り上がりました。幼稚園の子供と参加しましたが、相当怖かったようです。しかし、スタッフの皆さんや参加者の皆さんからの声かけがあり、イルカとカメに挨拶することができました。水泳を習っているので泳げないことはないのですが、海で泳ぐ経験が無く、ゴーグルとシュノーケルにも慣れていくて怖かったようです。可能であれば購入して、ホテルのプールででも連取すれば良かったです。イルカの泳ぐ姿は優美でなんとも言えない感動です。それよりも、自然に囲まれた島を海からみることができたのが良かったです。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up from the hotel before 7 AM.
On the bus, the staff provided explanations, so we didn't get bored on the way to the location.
Within 30 minutes of getting on the boat, the dolphin search began!
We quickly spotted dolphins!!
We entered the water and saw the dolphins from underwater. It was so beautiful and moving.
Seeing them from the boat is completely different...
It's more about watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.
I took some photos, but since the dolphins move and I was also moving with the waves, I couldn't get any nice shots.
Seeing them with my own eyes was much more beautiful than in photos.
I wish I could have watched the dolphins for a bit longer.
I want to join this tour again to see the dolphins!
朝は7時前にホテルにお迎えでした。
バスの中ではスタッフの方が説明したりで退屈せずに現地まで・・
船に乗って30分もしないうちにイルカ探しがスタート!
すぐにイルカ発見!!
海に入りイルカを水中から見ました♡
凄く綺麗で感動です(´⊙ω⊙`)
船の上から見るのとでは全く違って・・
一緒に泳ぐと言うよりは水中で泳いでるイルカを見る!って感じかな。
写真を撮ったのですがイルカも動くし自分も波で動くので綺麗には写真が撮れなかった(>人<;)
写真で見るより肉眼で見た方が凄く綺麗www
もう少し長い時間、イルカを見てたかったです。

Thanks to the energetic guide and photographer, I had a great time. I was really glad to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. The sea is really cold at this time of year, so the wetsuit rental costs $10 per person, but it's definitely worth it. In fact, almost everyone rented one. Even with the wetsuit on, I felt cold when I got out of the water.
I gave up on marine sports because it was too cold to feel like going into the water.
It seems the grill for cooking the hamburger patties was broken, so I couldn't eat the hamburgers cooked by the captain, but I was able to enjoy delicious hamburgers from a hamburger shop on the bus ride back.
Honestly, I felt that the final hula dance was unnecessary.
元気なガイドさんとカメラマンさんのおかげで楽しめました。
イルカとウミガメを目の前で見ることができてよかったと思います。
この時期の海は本当に寒いのでウェットスーツは1人10ドルかかりますが、絶対借りた方が良いです。
実際にほぼ全員がレンタルしていました。
ウェットスーツを着ていても海から上がると寒かったくらいです。
マリンスポーツは、寒くて海に入る気がおきず、諦めました。
ハンバーガーの肉を焼くグリルが故障してしまったらしく、船長が焼くハンバーガーを食べることはできませんでしたが、帰りのバスでハンバーガーショップの美味しいハンバーガーをいただくことができました。
ただ正直最期のフラダンスはいらなかったかなぁという感じです。

I was so moved to meet dolphins and sea turtles up close! I didn't expect to see so many dolphins. I was completely satisfied spending time surrounded by so many dolphins in the clear, beautiful sea. The instructor was kind and funny, making it the best time ever.
If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.
When I go to Hawaii again, I want to use the scholarship program and enroll again! I look forward to it!
凄い近くでイルカや海亀に会えて感動しました!こんなに多くのイルカに会えるとは思っていませんでした。透き通った綺麗な海で、いっぱいのイルカにずっと囲まれて過ごせて大満足です。インストラクターの方も優しく面白く最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
またハワイへ行った際は奨学金制度を利用し、再度入学したいと思います\( ˆoˆ )/そのときはよろしくお願いします!!

We participated as a family, and it was fine even with kids! As soon as we got on the boat, we saw the dorsal fins of dolphins swimming, which really got us excited! When we jumped into the sea, we could hear the dolphins' ultrasonic sounds underwater! There were so many dolphins swimming around us, and they were so cute!
I was worried about having kids with us, but the staff took my child and said, "Look, Mom!" so I was able to see them safely. My older child was able to see them, but my younger child was crying because the life jacket was floating oddly, and just when they were getting used to the snorkel, the dolphins swam away, so it was disappointing not to see them underwater.
I thought we would see sea turtles afterward, but the sea was rough, and we were told it was closed, so we went to another spot, but we couldn't see any fish or turtles there, which was very disappointing.
I’m curious if there’s a guarantee for not seeing turtles since there is one for not seeing dolphins. Although we didn’t see the turtles, I think we were very lucky to have so many dolphins swimming so close to us, as there are days when they swim away quickly.
I read in reviews that everyone should take motion sickness medication, and there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it’s better to take it beforehand.
家族で参加しました。子供連れでも大丈夫でした!船に乗ってからすぐにイルカが泳いでいる背ビレが見えてテンションあがりました!
海にジャンプして入ると水中でイルカの超音波の音が聞こえました!
たくさんのイルカが回りをぐるぐる回って泳いでくれてとても可愛かったです!
子供連れで心配でしたが、スタッフの方がママ見てきて!と子供を連れて泳いでくれて無事に見ることが出来ました!上の子は見れましたが、下の子はライフジャケットが変に浮いて泣いてしまい、やっとシュノーケルに慣れてきたところでイルカは行ってしまい水中で見ることが出来ず残念でした。
その後海ガメが見れると思っていたら海が荒れてて閉鎖して行けないとの事で別のスポットに行きましたが魚も亀も見れず、そこはとても残念でした(;_;)
イルカが見れなかった時の保証はあるけど、亀が見れなかった時の保証はあるのか気になってます。
亀は見れなかったけどイルカはすぐに行ってしまう日もあるとのことで、沢山のイルカがこんなにも近くで泳いでくれてとてもラッキーだったとは思います。
口コミで見て酔い止めを全員飲んでいきました。酔っている方が結構居たので、酔い止めは飲んでいった方がいいと思います。

I participated early in the morning, but the guide's energy was so great that it blew away my sleepiness! It was wonderful to swim not only with dolphins but also with turtles. I want to join again!
朝早くからの参加でしたが、眠気を吹き飛ばすかのようなガイドさんのノリがとっても良かったです!!
イルカだけでなくカメも一緒に泳げてよかったです♪また参加したいです♡

It was just my husband and me participating on our honeymoon! On that day, the high waves made the boat rock quite a bit, and I ended up feeling pretty seasick, but my husband seemed fine! It was both of our first time snorkeling, but the clear explanations and high energy made us excited from the start!
Even with the high waves, there were plenty of dolphins! Unfortunately, we couldn't get too close, which was a bit disappointing...
Due to the high waves, it seemed that the usual snorkeling spot was closed, so we moved to a different location to start snorkeling!
There were no turtles or fish, and the waves were high, so I quickly got seasick and had to give up... I really wanted to see a sea turtle.
We were able to enjoy light snacks like spam rice balls, some snacks, and plenty of juice and water, which made dining in nature exceptional!
Even while I was feeling seasick, the staff would talk to us, which was reassuring. They said that on days when the milk is not visible, they keep looking for points where you can see dolphins until the end. Amazing!
I recommend bringing seasickness medication for those who are prone to it! It was a lot of fun!
ハネムーンで主人と私2人での参加でした!
この日は高波で船もグワングワン揺れて
私はかなり船酔いしてしまいましたが、
主人は大丈夫そうでした!
2人ともシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、
わかりやすい説明と高めのテンションで
最初からワクワクさせてくれるような感じ!
高波でもイルカはたくさんいました!
ただあまり近づくことはできずに、そこは残念、、、。
高波のため、いつものシュノーケリングポイントがクローズしていたみたいで場所を移動してシュノーケリング開始!
亀もサカナもいなくて
波が高かったのですぐ酔ってしまい断念、、、。海ガメ会いたかったです。
軽食のスパムおにぎりと
ちょっとしたスナック菓子、ジュースやお水もたくさんいただけて自然の中で食事ができるのは格別です!
船酔い中もスタッフさんが話しかけてくれるので安心です。
ミルクが見えない日には諦めずに最後までいるかが見えるポイントを探すそうです。素晴らしい!
酔いやすい方には酔い止めを持参していくのをお勧めします!
とても楽しかったです!
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to your participation next time.

I woke up really early in the morning and felt sleepy, but from the moment I got on the bus, the staff kept talking non-stop, and their stories were so interesting that my sleepiness disappeared.
Since the waves were high, I took some motion sickness medication before participating.
As soon as we spotted a pod of dolphins, we jumped in and started watching!
I was so excited when I saw the dolphins. They were very cute.
We also went snorkeling, and the water was so clear with lots of fish; it was really beautiful.
朝はすごく早起きで眠かったけれど、バスに乗った瞬間からスタッフの人がずっとしゃべりっぱなしで話も面白くて眠気が吹っ飛びました。
波が高かったので酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
イルカの群れを見つけたらすぐに飛び込んでウォッチング開始!
イルカを見つけたときにはテンションがあがりました。
とてもかわいかったです。
シュノーケルもして海の透明度が高く、魚がたくさんいて、とてもきれいででした。

I was able to efficiently and quickly move to a location where dolphins are present and successfully encounter them. I thought I would be able to swim closer to them, but it was more of a distant viewing experience, which was different from swimming alongside them. Since they are wild dolphins, I believe there were considerations to avoid stressing them. It was different from my expectations. There were a few people on the boat who got seasick, but they handled that efficiently as well. Additionally, the background music, Hawaiian dancing, and the staff kept the atmosphere lively, which was enjoyable. If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be less enjoyable.
イルカがいる場所へ瞬時に移動して効率よく手際よくイルカに会えるようにして貰い、無事遭遇する事が出来ました。もっとそばで泳げると思っていたのですが、割と遠目で見る感じで共に泳ぐというのとは違ってました。野生のイルカなのでストレスを貯めないように配慮もあると思うのですが。イメージとは違ってました。船上では酔った人も数人いましたが、それも手際よく手当してました。またBGMやハワイアンの踊り、スタッフが道中盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。泳ぎが得意でないと楽しめないです。

The weather was nice and the waves were calm, so I attempted three dives and was able to see dolphins twice! The crew's desire for all participants to see the dolphins was wonderful! I want to go again!
お天気も良く波も穏やかで、ダイブ3回挑戦して2回イルカを観ることができました!
クルー全員が参加者全員にイルカを観てもらいたい気持ちが素敵でした!また行きたいです!

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the experience, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see many dolphins! Additionally, there were baby dolphins due to the season. After dolphin watching, we also got to see sea turtles, and it was fun to dance the hula together at the end. It was truly a precious experience (^_^).
Also, for those who have underwater cameras like a GoPro, you can take them snorkeling. I regret not bringing mine because I wasn't sure if I could use it while swimming with the dolphins...
イルカと一緒に泳いでみたいとずっと思っていました。当日、天気にも恵まれ、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました!また、時期的に子イルカもいました。イルカウォッチングのあとはウミガメを見ることもでき、最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊ったのも楽しかったです。本当に貴重な体験ができました(^_^)
あと、goproなど水中カメラを持ってる人は、もってシュノーケリングできます。私はイルカのとき持って入っていいか分からず、持って行かなかったことが唯一の心残りです…
Thank you for participating in the tour this time. We hope you will bring your GoPro next time, and we look forward to your participation again!
