Reviewed by: イルカさん

I couldn't meet the dolphins this time, but the staff at Dolphin School were all very nice, so I still had a great time.

Since it's a natural experience, I think there are times when you won't see them! Still, it was wonderful to connect with the vast nature of Hawaii.

By the way, I did get to see the turtles and whales!!

Even in midsummer, it gets cold once you're out of the water, so it's better to bring a long-sleeve shirt.

今回イルカには会えなかったけど、イルカ中学のスタッフさんが
とても良い方ばかりだったのでそれでも楽しかったです

自然での体験なので会えないことあると思います！
それでもハワイの大きな自然に触れられて、よかったです。

ちなみに亀さんとクジラには会えました！！

真夏でも海から出たら、寒いので長袖を持って行った方が良いです。

I couldn't see any dolphins, but I had a great time swimming in the beautiful sea and playing on the board! I had heard it was the wrong season to see whales, but I was happy to see two of them.

I experienced severe seasickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication before going! Also, everyone was renting wetsuits, so I think it's a good idea to rent one as well.

I'm glad I made some wonderful memories!

イルカには会えなかったけど、綺麗な海で泳いだりボードに乗って遊んだり楽しかったです！
クジラは見れない時期と聞いていたのに、2匹も見ることができて嬉しかったです。

船酔いが凄かったので、酔い止めを飲んで行くのをお勧めします！
あと、ウェットスーツも皆さん借りられていたので借りた方がいいと思います。

いい思い出ができて良かったです！

I couldn't meet the dolphins... イルカに会えず…

Reviewed by: shaki

I had high expectations for the main event of my trip to Hawaii, but I didn't see any dolphins at all. I understand that it's a wild animal, so it's not surprising. Even when they said, "It's a whale!" it was too far away, and even with my contact lenses, I couldn't see it well. They worked hard to find dolphins, and since we waited on the boat for a long time, I ended up feeling seasick, even though I usually don't take motion sickness medication. I hoped to do a lot of snorkeling since I couldn't see any dolphins, but it ended rather quickly. I think it was a stroke of luck that I got to see a sea turtle! They took a lot of photos, but honestly, if you don't buy a USB, you won't see anything, so I recommend purchasing it on the bus if you want to keep those memories. For lunch, I think "light snack" is a better description than "lunch." Later, I received an email saying, "Here are today's photos," but there were no attachments... I didn't even know who to contact about it. I think I might have had too high expectations. I received a discount voucher for the next time since I didn't see any dolphins, but to be honest, I'm not sure if I would want to participate again.

ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、くらいに思って期待しておりましたが、全くイルカに逢えませんでした。
野生の生き物なので仕方のないこととは思います。
鯨だよ！と言われてもかなり遠くてコンタクト着用していてもよく分からなかったです。
一生懸命イルカを探してくれて、長いこと船上で待機していたので普段は酔い止めを飲まない私でも船酔いしてしまいました。
イルカが見れなかった分、たくさんシュノーケリングができればと思いましたが、案外あっさり終わってしまいました。
ウミガメが見られたのは不幸中の幸いかなと思います！
写真を沢山撮ってもらいましたが、正直USBを買わない人は何も見られないので、思い出として欲しい方はバスの中で購入を希望しておいた方がいいと思います。
お昼もランチというか軽食という表現がベストかと思います。
後ほど、今日の写真です、とメールが届きましたが写真は添付されておらず…どこに問い合わせていいのかも分からず…
ちょっと期待し過ぎたかなと思いました。
イルカが見れなかったので次回割引券頂きましたが、次回も参加したいかと聞かれたら正直微妙なところです。

We set sail and were immediately greeted by a whale. It was an amazing start, as we could clearly see the spout and the body along with the tail, raising our expectations of encountering dolphins and turtles. After that, under the captain's guidance, we encountered many dolphins and turtles just as we hoped. The baby turtles were incredibly cute. We were able to welcome 2018 with a wonderful beginning. The staff were also very kind, and I am grateful. Thank you.

I can't swim, so I was scared when I jumped from the boat. But even at my age, I found the courage to try, and surprisingly, I was able to do it. It became a journey of discovery where I could challenge myself. Thank you.

Fantastic day!!!

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

Absolutely sensational experience

Reviewed by: Trish Foxall

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Two years ago, I participated in a program at a junior high school and swam with dolphins. I wanted to experience that happiness again, so I joined this time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any dolphins, but I was moved to see whales and turtles. I even got to see the spouts of several whales from a distance! And as expected from a university, Mr. Takao's passionate lecture and the meaningful movements in the dance were rich in content, conveying a love for Hawaii that captivated me. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again! (*^^*)

2年前に中学の方で参加しイルカと泳ぎました。その時の幸せ感を味わいたく今回参加させていただきました。残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけれど、クジラや亀に会えて感動しました。少し遠くですがクジラの潮吹きもみられました。それも何頭も…！そしてさすが大学、Mr.Takaoの熱のこもった講義？や、ひとうひとつの動作に意味を感じるダンス等も内容が濃く、Hawaii愛が伝わり聴きいってしまいました。ありがとうございました。また、是非参加させていただきます(*^^*)

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise 野生のイルカ＆ウミガメ　シュノーケリング・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 華ちゃん

The guide who showed us around was enjoyable and great. We were able to see a sea turtle, even if just a little, and snorkeling was fun. Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I felt safe participating. We went as a family, but my kindergarten-aged grandchild was shivering and crying because of the low temperature. I think it's important to choose the right season for small children.

案内してくださったガイドの方が楽しくてよかったです。ウミガメは少しだけですが見えたし、シュノーケリングも楽しく、泳ぎが得意ではない私も安心して参加できました。家族で行きましたが、幼稚園児の孫は気温が低く、寒さに震えて泣いてしまいました。小さな子どもには季節を選ぶ必要があると思いました。

I encountered dolphins and whales!! イルカやクジラと出会えました！！

Reviewed by: あんぱん

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon! We decided to join this tour because we wanted to see dolphins in the beautiful ocean. The day before, there was heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear skies. We took an early morning bus to the port, and when we boarded the boat, the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff maintained a cheerful atmosphere and treated us with care from start to finish. We traveled by boat for about 45 minutes, and during that time, we were able to see a whale spouting! (By the way, on the way back, we also saw its tail.)

As for the dolphins, I was a bit anxious that we might not encounter them since we were dealing with nature, but we were able to see them underwater! (Interestingly, it seems that there were no sightings for the three days leading up to our participation.) Although we didn't see them up close like in an aquarium, I was moved to encounter wild dolphins! After that, we split into activities and snorkeling. I experienced snorkeling, and I was able to see many fish up close as well. On the way back, we had a fun time dancing hula with the staff. It became a wonderful memory of our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon!

今回ハネムーンで初めてハワイにやってきました！綺麗な海でイルカがみたいということでこのツアーへの参加を決めました。前日は大雨で果たして天気は大丈夫かなと心配しましたが快晴でした。早朝バスに乗って港へ着き、船に乗船するとスタッフが明るく迎えてくれました。スタッフの皆さんは最初から最後まで明るい雰囲気で丁寧にもてなしてくれます。45分くらい船で移動しましたがその途中でクジラの潮吹きもみるとこができました！（ちなみに帰りは尾びれもみることができました）
そして肝心のイルカですが、自然が相手なので出会えないかもと不安もありましたが、水中でも見ることできました！（ちなみに参加日までの3日間は出会えなかったみたいです）水族館みたいに近距離でみれたわけではありませんが野生のイルカに出会えたのには感動しました！その後はアクティビティとシュノーケルに分かれました。シュノーケルを体験しましたがこちらもたくさんの魚を真近で見ることができました。帰りにはスタッフさんとフラで盛り上がったりと楽しいひと時でした。たった一度のハネムーンの良い思い出になりました！

I was disappointed that I didn't see a single dolphin, let alone any while snorkeling. イルカとシュノーケルどころか一匹もみられずがっかり・・

Reviewed by: たんたん

In the distance, I could see what looked like the tail of a whale and the shadow of a sea turtle, but in the end, there were no dolphins at all.

Along the way, I snorkeled for about an hour, but I didn't see any fish in areas that weren't particularly beautiful, like the coral reefs. When I participated in snorkeling tours in other countries, I had experiences where I saw very beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish, so if we weren't going to see dolphins, I wished we could at least stop at a spot where we could expect to see more tropical fish. Just looking at the white sand underwater quickly bored my child, and when we returned to the boat, it was cold.

One positive point was that the staff were very cheerful, dancing the hula and letting us ride in canoes.

I understand that these things can happen when dealing with nature, but I was disappointed that I invested a whole day, starting with a 5 AM gathering, for such a rare day in Hawaii.

By the way, as an apology for the group that didn't see dolphins, they said the next participation fee would be discounted by $20. However, since there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again, I won't participate anymore.

はるかかなたにクジラのしっぽと海亀が泳ぐ影らしきものが見られたのですが、結局イルカは姿すらなかったです・・。

途中、1時間ほど、シュノーケルをしたのですが、サンゴ礁など特に綺麗でないところで、魚も見られず・・。他国でシュノーケルツアーに参加した際は
とてもきれいなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚が見られた経験があるので、イルカも見られないならば、せめてもっと熱帯魚などが期待できるスポットで停泊してくれてもと思いました・・。海中の白い砂をみるだけで子供もすぐ飽きて、すぐに舟にひきあげたら今度は寒いと・・。

一つ良かった点は、スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気で、フラダンスを踊ってくださったり、カヌーに乗せてくれたりしました。

自然相手なのでこういうこともあるかとは思うのですが、貴重なハワイの1日を朝5時代に集合して一日投資したのにと残念でした。

ちなみに、イルカを見れなかったグループへのおわびとしては、次回参加代金が20ドルにディスカウントされるのだそうです。
同じことが2度ないとも限らないので、もう参加はしませんが。

I participated with my 6-year-old child, but swimming with the dolphins was quite a challenge, so my spouse and I took turns. The activity slide looked fun, and it was great to see everyone enjoying it.

It was mid-December, and I heard it was cold even with a wetsuit, so I brought a winter rash guard just in case and wore diving shorts underneath, which kept me warm.

We were able to see about 10 dolphins up close! During snorkeling, we encountered about 3 dolphins, and I was very satisfied! I was also glad to see a sea turtle from the boat.

I think it can depend on the weather, but unlike other tours, it was great to have an eco-friendly and authentic experience. Thank you!

Reviewed by: さっちん

I wanted to swim with dolphins. It was my husband's long-time wish, so we joined this tour. We gathered at 5:30 in the morning, which marked the start of a cold day. Even though it was Hawaii, December was chilly. After arriving at the port, we set sail. We borrowed wetsuits and got into the water. The waves were high, and the sea was murky; occasionally, we could see the dolphins' fins, but not clearly. During that time, I ended up drinking water multiple times and was coughing (-_-;) I got back on the boat once to search for where the dolphins were and moved to a different spot. However, when I got in the water for the second time, I was shivering too much from the cold and had no choice but to give up. My husband went in. He encountered the dolphins and said he was able to swim with them a little, which made him happy, but I was still struggling with the cold and just wanted to go back. I had that feeling the whole time... I want to try again during a warmer season instead of winter.

イルカと一緒に泳ぎたい。主人の昔からの願いでしたので、このツアーに参加しました。朝、5:30に集合だったので、そこから寒い一日がスタートしました。ハワイとはいえ、12月は寒かった。港について、出港。ウェットスーツを借りて、水の中に入りました。波も高く、海も濁っていて、たまに、イルカの背びれが見え隠れしていましたが、はっきりとは見えず。その間に、何度も水を飲んでしまい、ゲホゲホ(-_-;)　一度船に上がり、イルカのいる場所を探し移動。そして、二度目の入水の時には、ガタガタと寒すぎて震えがきて、どうしようもなく、私は断念。主人は中に入りました。イルカ達がいるところに遭遇し、若干一緒に泳げたそうで、主人はよかったといっていましたが、私はその後も寒さとの葛藤で、早く帰りたい。そんな思いがずっとありまして、、、
冬ではなく、今度は暖かい時期にもう一度チャレンジしたいと思います。

You cannot swim with dolphins. ※イルカと一緒には泳げません

Reviewed by: じゃっぷ

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書？に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある＂海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー！＂と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが＂Look down!!＂と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

Encountered whales in addition to dolphins! イルカの他にクジラにも遭遇！

Reviewed by: JOE

I woke up early, swayed by the bus, and headed to the dock while rubbing my sleepy eyes. After offering a prayer to the sea, we set sail on our long-awaited dolphin search journey. Unfortunately, we couldn't see dolphins up close during the two dives, but we did see them jumping from the boat, and most importantly, we were lucky enough to witness the whale's courtship dance multiple times, which was satisfying! The instructors were very cheerful and really energized everyone, making it a lot of fun! I want to go again when I come back to Hawaii! I hope to see dolphins up close next time! ♫

朝早起きしてバスに揺られ、眠い目をこすりながら船着場へ向かいました。
海にお祈りを捧げて、念願のイルカ探しの旅へ出航です。
残念ながら二回のダイブではイルカを間近で見ることは出来なかったけれど、船からイルカが跳ねているところは見られたし、何より偶然にもクジラの求愛のダンスを何回も見られて満足です！
インストラクターの方々もとても明るくみんなを盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです！
またハワイに来たら行きたいです！次回はイルカを間近で見られるといいな♫

The female instructor was very energetic. I was a bit surprised by her high energy in the morning. However, she worked hard to find dolphins, and we were able to see wild dolphins. The snorkeling was also very beautiful.

女性のインストラクターのテンションが高かったです。
朝からテンションが高くて少しびっくりしてしまいました。
でも、イルカを一生懸命探してくれ、野生のイルカを見ることができました。
シュノーケリングもとてもきれいでした。

It's a shame I could only see a little... 少ししか見れず残念...

At 5:55 AM, we were picked up from various hotels in the dim light. About 30 people participated. We went snorkeling at a relatively calm spot about an hour west using the highway from Waikiki. However, on that day, a cold wave hit Oahu, making it feel like early autumn in Japan, so we paid $10 to wear wetsuits. Thanks to that, I wasn't cold while in the water, but returning to the boat, I was hit by the wind and felt quite chilly.

We sang a song to thank the sea god of Hawaii and prayed for safety, then it was time for our first dive! Everyone headed to the point where wild spinner dolphins were likely resting. The four instructors found the dolphins and shouted, "Swim towards the mountains!" Everyone submerged their faces in the water to search. About ten dolphins swam gracefully beneath us. It was breathtaking!

After returning to the boat and taking a short break, we tried for our second dive! Once again, a group of dolphins passed below us. It was brief, but I got to swim alongside a dolphin about five meters away.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles or whales, but it was a valuable experience.

*The rating isn't great because this tour requires you to swim actively. In winter, the waves can make you prone to seasickness, and although the website mentioned that "the second floor of the boat is recommended for easier dolphin watching," we were on a regular snorkeling boat with only one level, which swayed a lot due to the waves and wind. Since it was a monitor tour, we had an early morning departure, but if it had been during the day, it might have been warmer and more enjoyable. I don't think I'll participate again.

早朝５：５５　薄暗い中　各ホテルピックアップ。
約３０名近くが参加。
ワイキキから高速道路を利用して西に約1時間の比較的波静かな場所でのシュノーケリングです。
しかし、当日はオワフ島にも寒波が来ており、日本でいうと初秋のような肌寒さがあり、１０ドルを支払いウエットスーツを着用。
おかげさまで、海に入っている時は寒くはありませんでしたが　船に戻ると風をまともに受け、震えるほど寒かったです。
ハワイに伝わる海の神様に感謝と安全をお祈りする歌を歌い、いざ、１本目海へダイブ！
野生のハシナガイルカが休憩しているだろうポイントへ皆でGO！
インストラクター４名が、イルカのいる場所を見つけ「山の方向へ泳げー！」との声に　皆一斉に海面に顔を浸け捜索。
約１０匹ほどのイルカが私たちの下を悠々と泳いでいました。
感動です！

その後、船に戻りしばし休憩後、２本目にトライ！
またまた下の方にイルカの群れが通過。
一瞬でしたが５ｍ程先のイルカと一緒に泳げました。

あいにく、ウミガメやクジラには出会えませんでしたが、貴重な体験をしました。

※評価が良くないのは、ガッツリ自分で泳がないとダメなツアー。
冬の時期は、波があるので船酔いをしやすい点と、HPでは「イルカウォッチングをするならボートの２階が発見しやすくておすすめ。」との記載があり申込みましたが、１階しかない普通のシュノーケリングボートなので波と風を受け、とても揺れます。
モニターツアーなので早朝出発でしたが、日中出発ならもう少し暖かくて楽しめていたかもしれません。
次は参加しないと思います。

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles. イルカとウミガメ、両方見ることが出来ました

After being picked up at the hotel, we traveled by van to the destination with dolphins. During the journey, they provided detailed explanations about the dolphins' ecology, which was very enjoyable. Even for those who are not good swimmers, they lend life jackets, so it's reassuring. We encountered many dolphins and were moved by the sight of them swimming gracefully.

ホテルでピックアップ後、イルカのいる目的地までバンで移動しました。到着までの間もイルカの生態など、詳しく説明してくださりとても楽しかったです。泳ぎが苦手な方でもライフジャケットを貸して頂けるので安心です。たくさんのイルカに遭遇し、優雅に泳いでいる姿を見ることが出来、感動しました。

I was able to fully enjoy the graceful appearance of the dolphins. イルカの悠々とした姿を存分に観ることができました

I'm really glad I participated; it was truly a worthwhile optional tour. I joined with my wife's parents, and I felt a bit anxious on the bus ride to the boat since most of the participants were in their twenties. However, thanks to the consistently kind staff, I realized my worries were unnecessary. I was a bit disappointed to hear during the trip that swimming with dolphins in Hawaii is not allowed (I hadn't gathered this information beforehand), but when we actually spotted dolphins and entered the water, I was able to fully enjoy watching many dolphins swimming gracefully below me. I was very satisfied. The boat was large (it seemed to accommodate over 30 people), and it was comfortable with little rocking. From the moment we spotted the dolphins to the dive, we were guided in an orderly manner without any rush, so I think it's a tour that's reassuring even for beginners.

参加して良かった、本当にそう思えるオプショナルツアーでした。妻の両親と一緒に参加したのですが、参加者が20代で占めている状況に乗船までのバス内では一抹の不安がありました。しかし、終始親切なスタッフの皆様のお陰で無用な心配だと実感できました。ハワイは海中に潜ってイルカと泳ぐのは不可だと道中に聞かされ（事前に情報入手していなかったこともあり）少し残念でしたが、実際にイルカを見つけて海に入ったときには、たくさんのイルカが眼下で気持ち良さそうにゆっくり泳いでいるのを思う存分に愉しむことができたので、大満足でした。船は（30人以上乗船できそうな）大きな船で、揺れも少なく快適でした。イルカ発見からダイブするまでも、慌てることなく順番に案内してもらえたので、初心者でも安心なツアーだと思います。

Swimming with dolphins was amazing! I was moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming right below me! I was also glad to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling! The crew members were all fun, and we enjoyed dancing the hula together.

イルカと泳げて最高‼️真下にイルカの群れが泳いでいて感動でした‼️シュノーケルでは海ガメにも会えて良かったです‼️クルーの皆さんも楽しい方ばかりで皆でフラを踊ったり楽しかったです(^O^)

Thank you for your assistance this time.

I felt reassured because I was attended to by Japanese staff.

I was very satisfied as I got to see many dolphins and there were sea turtles as well.

Unfortunately, it was rainy and very cold in the second half, but

that too is a good memory.

I look forward to working with you again.

この度はお世話になりました。

日本人スタッフが対応していただいたので安心しました。

イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメもいたので大満足です。

あいにくの雨で後半、すごく寒かったけど

それもまたいい思い出です。

またよろしくお願い致します。

Dolphins for the first time in three years. ３年ぶりのイルカ

Reviewed by: あいう

I was worried that the weather might be bad, but although the waves were a bit high, there were clear skies and I was glad to see dolphins.
I wished that the rental fee for the wetsuits was included, and the life vests were too thin, which made me feel uneasy. Plus, they were moldy and dirty...
I think the guide was very energetic and nice, but they kept talking on the bus, and I couldn't sleep at all when I wanted to.
I found it a bit inappropriate when they asked personal questions and insisted on going into the sea again when an older person said they were done. They also took someone who was feeling seasick out into the water, saying it would help.
I understand the intention to make everyone enjoy themselves, but I felt there was a lack of delicacy.
I was told there would be a lot of fish while snorkeling, but there were hardly any. If that was the case, I would have liked to dive with the dolphins one more time.

天気が悪いかもと心配していましたが、少し波は高かったけれど晴れ間もあり、イルカも見られて良かったです。
ウェットスーツ貸し出しは料金に含んでいてほしかったのと、ライフベストが薄っぺらすぎて不安でした。しかもカビてて汚かった…
ガイドさんはとても元気でいいと思いますが、バスの中で喋り続けていて寝ようと思っていたのに一睡もできなかった。。
プライベートな質問をズカズカとしたり、年配の方が2回目海に入るのはもういいかな、と言っているのに、せっかく来たんだから！とか、船酔いで体調が悪い人に、海に入れば治る！と連れ出したりするのはどうかと思います。
楽しんでもらいたいという気持ちは分かりますが。
デリカシーがないと感じました。
シュノーケルでは魚がたくさんいると言われましたがほとんどいませんでした。それならイルカもう1回ダイブしたかったです。

Swim with dolphins! いるかとスイム！

Reviewed by: きら☆

I was able to swim with dolphins, and at the very end, I even saw a manatee! Feeling satisfied and a bit tired while returning to land, we danced on the boat to the music from Moana: The Legend of the Sea! It was quite moving.

いるかと泳ぐ事もできて、最後の最後でﾎﾇも見れました！満足して少し疲れながら陸へ帰るときに、モアナと伝説の海を流しながら船の上でﾀﾞﾝｽ！これがなかなか感動的でした。
