West Oahu Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch, Kayak, SUP, Waterslide & Lunch

Amazing Day!

Reviewed by: Heather

The experience on this trip was amazing. We are avid snorkelers and love the ocean and animals so our expectations were high. The crew was friendly, fun, kind, (even when we had to be reminded of the safety rules because we got a bit excited when we saw the dolphins) professional, talented and explained the rules and safety precautions very well. We saw a large pod of dolphins as we swam in the bluest of water, sighted whales, snorkeled with tropical fish and two turtles and cruised down the gorgeous West coast listening to Hawaiian music. Magical. Group tours have there frustrations because of the number of people trying to see things at the same time but as far as group tours go this was one of the best we have done! We appreciated the Aloha we received from all the crew! You will not regret going on this trip! Mahalo to all the crew and Tommy who greeted us on the docks.

wild dolphins 野生のイルカ

Reviewed by: ハワイ初デビュー

First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.

To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.

You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.

By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.

まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。　
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。

I had the experience once again! またまた体験させていただきました！！

Reviewed by: KOMO

This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!

今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした！
海の透明度も今回が最高でした！魚もたくさん見れました！
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。
何回も参加していますが、スタッフの方もとてもいい感じです。
ツアーのバスは参加する度にリッチになっていますね（笑）
またぜひ参加したいと思います、いえ、参加します！！

It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.

I was able to see sea turtles, dolphins, and whales! ウミガメ＆イルカ＆鯨に会えました！

Reviewed by: すみちゃん親子

We participated as a family of three. The meeting time was early in the morning, but surprisingly, we received a wake-up call in our hotel room! The crew was incredibly energetic and worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively. We had a great time.

Whenever we spotted dolphins, we jumped in to see them. We repeated this a few times, going back and forth to where the dolphins were. (For those who are snorkeling for the first time, it might be a bit scary.) While there’s no worry of drowning since you wear a life jacket, the water is quite deep. The dolphins swam quite below us, and they were fast, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did get to see them jumping and swimming in groups.

A sea turtle swam slowly close to us, and my daughter was able to capture some photos of it up close. We also encountered whales from the boat.

The cheeseburger for lunch was quite substantial, and the pineapple was sweet and delicious! However, I think it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. If you don’t take precautions, it could be quite challenging. Floating and swimming in the deep sea is the most likely to cause seasickness.

At the end, we took a group photo, and they later sent the pictures via email. I think the service was attentive in every aspect.

We returned to Waikiki in the early afternoon, which allowed us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, so it was good to do it in the morning. Thank you for a fun day!

家族３人で参加しました。集合時間が早朝だったのですが、なんとホテルの部屋にモーニングコール(^^♪びっくりしました！
クルーの皆さんはめっちゃテンション高く、一生懸命盛り上げてくれ(^^)/
とても楽しく過ごせました。
イルカを見つけると、そこへ飛び込んでイルカを見る。また船でイルカのいる場所に行きイルカを見る・・・を何度か繰り返しました。
(シュノーケリング初めての方は怖いかもしれません）ライフジャケットを着ているので溺れる心配はありませんが、かなり深いので（汗）
イルカは私たちのかなり下を泳いでいて、スピードも早くてあまり近くでは見られませんでしたが、群れで海上をはねて泳ぐ姿も見れました。
ウミガメはゆっくり私たちの近くに泳いできてくれて、娘は至近距離で泳ぐ姿を撮影できました。船の上からは鯨にも会えました。
お昼のチーズバーガーはお肉がかなりボリュ－ムあり。パイナップルも甘くておいしかったです！
ただ、乗り物酔いする方にはかなりきついかと思います。対策していかないと、大変だと思います。船よりも、深い海で浮いて泳ぐことが一番酔います。

最後に全員で写真を撮り、後にメールで写真を送ってくださいました。
何から何まで行き届いたサービスだと思います。

ワイキキに戻るのはお昼過ぎ。午後からは違う予定を入れられるので午前にしてよかったです。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました！

Encountered a pod of dolphins. イルカの群れに遭遇

Reviewed by: uk.

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.

I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.

In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。

前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。

クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。

Dolphins, sea turtles, and whales!! イルカもウミガメもクジラも！！

Reviewed by: つんつん

I had previously interacted with dolphins in Japan, but I was drawn to participate in this rare activity where you can swim with wild dolphins! I chose this tour particularly because of its 30 years of experience and the presence of Japanese staff, and it was definitely the right choice!! From the pick-up, the energetic Japanese staff elevated our spirits and made the tour exciting. Once we got on the boat, the foreign staff were all friendly, making it a fun experience from start to finish!

The wild dolphins exceeded my expectations, swimming beneath us in incredible numbers and coming back to us multiple times! On that day, they even showcased spin jumps! After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, where we encountered sea turtles and were able to swim with them. On the return boat ride, we even spotted whales that were in Hawaii during this season!

The staff promptly pointed out the dolphins, sea turtles, and whales, so we hardly missed anything! Additionally, we got to play on a slide that goes into the sea, and there was also a hula dance by the staff, making it a luxurious tour that never got boring! It was worth more than the price we paid!!

日本でイルカと触れ合ったことはありましたが、野生のイルカと泳げるという貴重なアクティビティに惹かれ参加しました！特にツアーを始めて30年という実績がある点と日本人スタッフがいる点で選びましたが、大正解でした！！お迎えから気持ちを高めてくれる元気な日本人スタッフさんがツアーを盛り上げてくれ、船に着いてからも外国人スタッフさんもフレンドリーな方ばかりで始終楽しかったです！そして野生のイルカは想像を超える数のイルカが私たちの下を泳いでくれ、何度も来てくれました！この日はスピンジャンプも披露してくれました！その後シュノーケルの場所に移動し、ここでウミガメにも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、帰りの船ではこの時期にハワイにきているクジラにも遭遇できました！
イルカもウミガメもクジラもすぐにスタッフさんが教えてくれるので見逃すことがほとんどありませんでした！
他にも海に飛び込む滑り台で遊べたり、スタッフの方のフラダンスもあり、飽きることのない贅沢なツアーでした！お値段以上の価値がありました！！

The staff were always smiling, and some could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease and enjoy my time. I had a great time from the morning with high energy. I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales! Since I participated in January, I thought it might be cold, but it was much colder than I imagined once we got out of the water. There were small children participating as well, and it was sad to see them shivering, so I think parents should definitely bring warm clothing. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so even those who usually don’t get seasick should take motion sickness medication. It would be the worst to get sick! It was sad to see the kids unable to eat their hamburgers because they got seasick...

If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!

There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

It was more amazing than I expected. 思っていたよりすごかった。

Reviewed by: イッチー

The weather was cloudy, so I wasn't expecting much from the sea, but I was surprised by the clarity of the water, which was clear enough to see the bottom. We were able to see quite a few dolphins. There were about 100 dolphins, and a group of around 20 swam right beneath us, which was amazing. They also provided support for those who couldn't swim, which was reassuring.

There were about 40 people on the experience, and quite a few (about half were Japanese) got seasick. We were fine because we took medication, but by the second half of the activities, half of the Japanese participants were exhausted and resting.

For safety reasons, canoes were accompanied by staff, and the zup was tethered, which was a bit disappointing, but I think it's necessary because the sea can be dangerous.

On the way back, we were able to watch and even dance the hula, which was fun. Since the weather was cloudy, having a jacket or towel during breaks was essential. There were women who were shivering from the cold.

It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit! It helps with the cold, but also protects against jellyfish stings. Even though it wasn't jellyfish season, I unfortunately got stung in several places.

天候は曇りだったので、海期待していなかったですが入ってみたら底が見える程の透明度で驚いた。そしてかなりの数のイルカを見ることができた。

ホエールウォッチ　遭遇率の高い西オアフで鑑賞！アウラニやコオリナリゾートから車で20分　ソフトドリンク飲み放題付き＜西オアフ発／12/1～3/31＞

I couldn't meet the giant whale, but I encountered a baby whale and dolphins, and I had a great time. 巨大なクジラには会えないけれど、子クジラ、イルカに遭遇できたし、楽しめました

Reviewed by: ICH

Don't expect a giant whale to appear right in front of you. We were picked up at the Ko Olina Marriott with about ten others and headed to Waianae Harbor. There were already some participants lined up, probably around 40 to 50 people, and I think we were the only two Japanese. Unfortunately, I could only understand about 80% of the guide's explanations, but I got the gist of it.

We enjoyed a large catamaran yacht cruising at engine speed. Since it was a yacht, we were close to the water, and although the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, we had a great time cruising. Once we got offshore, we encountered a small whale that spouted water a few hundred meters away. We saw it several times, and each time there were cheers. I think the sight of a giant tail appearing right in front of us is just a picture from the brochure.

After that, the boat headed to the dolphin area. The dolphins swim in groups and are very curious, coming close to the boat, so we could see them well. However, I had previously participated in a dolphin watching cruise from the same harbor in the summer, and I felt that the dolphins were more energetic and jumping around at that time.

The nearly two-hour cruise included all-you-can-eat rice crackers that looked like persimmon seeds and one drink (including alcohol) for just under $100. I thought it was a bit pricey, but my wife was very impressed. Besides encountering whales and dolphins, she also enjoyed the scenery and the cruising itself.

We were also taken back to the Ko Olina Marriott afterward. Additionally, you have to take off your shoes when boarding, and it's barefoot inside the boat. You just throw your shoes into a container box on the dock, so if you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a plastic bag or something to carry them inside. We didn't mind since we were wearing flip-flops and sneakers, but my wife found it a bit troublesome to take off her socks.

巨大なクジラが目の前に現れて・・なんて期待してはいけません。
コオリナマリオットで10名ほどピックアップしてもらって、ワイアナエハーバーへ。すでに先客組が並んでいて４０~５０名ほどの参加者でしょうか、日本人は我々2名だけだったと思います。残念ながらガイドさんの説明は８０％は理解できなかったけれど、それなりに分かるものです。
大型のカタマランヨットを機走（エンジンで進む）で楽しみます。ヨットなので海面も近く、参加日は曇り時々晴れでしたがクルージングも楽しめました。沖合に出ると数百メータ先に「プシュッ！」と潮を吹いて泳ぐ小さなクジラに遭遇しました。何度か出くわしますが、そのたびに歓声が上がります。目の前を巨大な尾びれが現れて・・というのはパンフレットの写真だけだと思います。
その後、イルカのエリアにも船は向ってくれました。イルカは群れを成すし好奇心豊かで船にも近づくのでよく見えます。ただ同じハーバーから以前夏にイルカウォッチングクルーズに参加したことがあるのですが、その時のほうがジャンプしたりイルカも元気だったような気がします。
2時間近くのクルーズで、柿の種みたいなあられ(食べ放題？）とワンドリンク（アルコールもあり）で$100弱。ちょっと高いかななんて思ったのですが、カミさんはとても感激。クジラやイルカの遭遇以外にも景色やクルージング自体も楽しかったようです。
帰りもコオリナマリオットまで送ってもらえました。
あと、乗船時に靴を脱ぎ船内は裸足です、脱いだ靴類は桟橋のコンテナボックスに投げ入れるだけなので気になる人はビニール袋等持参して船内に持ち込むのも一考かもしれません。我々はビーサンとスニーカーだったので気にしませんでしたが、カミさんが靴下脱いだり面倒くさがっていました。

It was rescheduled due to the storm, but the crew was amazing! 嵐のためリスケでしたがクルーの皆さんが最高でした！

This was my second time participating. I had made a reservation for Christmas, which thankfully was still being held, but it was canceled due to bad weather. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to another day and participate.

The boat had changed since my last visit, and it had been upgraded in various ways! Unlike Mikurajima, it was disappointing that diving was prohibited where the dolphins were, so we could only watch from above, but I was glad to see them multiple times.

Since it was a busy season, there were many participants, and I noticed several people getting bruised from bumping into each other while swimming. There were also quite a few people feeling seasick. Taking precautions is important.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling this time, but the crew was great at keeping the energy up, and the hula was wonderful, so it was definitely worth participating!

2回目の参加でした。
クリスマスもありがたいことに催行されていたので予約していたのですが悪天候のためキャンセルになりました。運良く別の日に調整できて参加できました。

前回から船も変わっていて、色々とパワーアップしていました！
御蔵島と違い、イルカがいるところでは潜るのが禁止だったので上から見るだけなのが残念でしたが、何度も見られたので良かったです。
繁忙期なので参加者が多く、一緒に泳ぐのでぶつかってあざになっている方が多く見られました。あと船酔いしてる方も多々見られました。対策は重要です。

今回はシュノーケリングで亀が見られなかったのが残念でしたが、クルーのかたが盛り上げ上手で、フラも素敵でしたし、参加した甲斐ありました！

I couldn't swim with the dolphins, but the staff was wonderful and entertaining. イルカと泳げず、、、でも、スタッフが素敵で面白かったです。

It was hard to get up in the morning while traveling, but thanks to that, I was able to spend a fulfilling morning.

The scenery was amazing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, two adorable dolphins swam alongside our boat for a while, which was very soothing.

Important note!! Many people suffered from seasickness. It's essential to take motion sickness medication from places like ABC Mart beforehand.

We also took the motion sickness medication we got from ABC Mart as soon as we woke up, and we had no problems at all. Oh, I felt a little nauseous on the way back, though.

The staff were incredibly cute and enthusiastic!!

Even if you can't meet the dolphins, you can still have a great time.

朝なかなか起きられない旅先ですが、おかげさまで、充実の午前中を過ごすことができました。

景色最高。

イルカは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐ事は出来ませんでした。ただし、かわいらしい二頭が、その後
船にずっと付き添って泳いでいてくれ、和みました。

重要事項!!　多くの方が船酔いで、苦しんでいました。
ABCマートなどで、必ず酔い止めを飲んでおくことが大切です。

私たちもABCマートで求めた酔い止めを、起床とともにともに飲み、全く問題なく過ごすことができました。
あ、帰り際には少しだけ気持ち悪くなりましたが。

スタッフの方々の可愛さと盛り上げが最高です!!

もしイルカに会えなくても、充分に楽しめます

Dolphin ドルフィン

Reviewed by: summer

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪

個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

I participated five years ago. 5年前も参加しました

Reviewed by: 大阪府

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!

However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.

It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました！今回もイルカもカメも見れました！スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした！
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
１２月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…？冬で波が高いとかですかね？普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

Wild dolphins, snorkeling cruise 野生のイルカ、シュノーケリングクルーズ

Reviewed by: Kai Towada

I was able to see a lot of dolphins, just as the tour title promised! It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.

ツアーのタイトル通りたくさんのイルカに会えました！
市内から港まではバスで約一時間ですが結構ゆれるので車酔いする方は酔い止めを準備したほうがよいです。
また日焼けどめは珊瑚を傷つける成分がないものをとのことです。
ツアーみなさんが明るく、船上でも楽しく過ごせました。

It's a small, homey group!
I definitely recommend this tour.
This time, there were a lot of dolphins, so it was lucky.
The scenery, the sea, the dolphins, and the crew were all amazing.

The best tour if you don't get drunk!! I'm glad I did it! 酔わなければ最高のツアー！！やってよかった！

There's no guarantee that you'll definitely see dolphins, but I did.

First of all, it was tough getting up early, but there is a shuttle service to take you close to the departure point. There were quite a few Japanese people, and with a Japanese guide, I had nothing to worry about.
- Even if you usually don’t get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I usually don’t get seasick, but even with medication, I felt nauseous towards the end. The boat sways so much that you can’t stand unless it’s anchored somewhere. The waves were high, and just floating in the water made me feel sick. There’s a toilet on the boat, so you can throw up without worrying about others (there are special bags available). They were selling motion sickness bands, but it seems to vary from person to person...
- If you can’t swim, don’t worry. I hadn’t swum in years and had no experience with snorkeling, so I was anxious, but they give you a briefing before swimming, and you wear a life jacket, so you definitely won’t sink. I felt very safe while snorkeling.
- It’s quite cold, so I think it’s better to rent a wetsuit. If you want to swim in a cute swimsuit, you’ll definitely need a cover-up and a towel.
- It was nice to have light snacks. They provided pineapple, snacks, and cheeseburgers to refresh your palate. For those who got seasick, the cheeseburger was a bit much, but they also give you a takeout bag. I got sick, so the pineapple and lemon water helped me.
- The crew performed a hula dance and were very lively, making it a fun and exciting experience.

I was able to see dolphins during my second snorkeling session. Since dolphins are fast, I found that sticking closely to the crew was key to seeing them. Swimming with a pod of dolphins was an indescribable experience. I even saw a baby dolphin. While watching from the boat, I saw them do spin jumps. I also caught a glimpse of a whale. It was moving to connect with nature.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we could freely play on slides and boats. There were turtles and lots of tropical fish.

I feel a bit guilty saying this, but if you board the boat last, you can sit towards the back. Being at the back means you get to enter the water first, so I was able to closely follow the crew and see the dolphins. There were some people who didn’t see any dolphins this time, but it really depends on timing.

You can’t take pictures with the dolphins or turtles; you need to keep your distance. It’s all about observing from afar. I did feel nauseous towards the end, but until then, I had a great time, so I have no complaints about this tour. All my anxieties were resolved, and I was able to participate! It was a safe, secure, and very enjoyable experience! If you’re considering joining, I highly recommend it! Just make sure to take precautions against motion sickness!

イルカに必ず会える保証はないですが、会えました。
まず早朝でしんどいですが近くまで送迎があります。結構日本人が多く、日本人ガイドもいて何も心配ありませんでした。
・普段酔わない方も酔い止め必須。普段酔いやすい私が酔い止めのんでも終盤吐きました。船がどこかにつかまらないと立っていられないくらい揺れます。波も高いので泳いで浮いてるだけでも酔いました。船にトイレもあるので人目を気にせずに吐けます(専用の袋があります)
酔い止めバンドを販売していましたが個人差があるみたいです…
・泳げない人でも大丈夫。何年も泳いだことない、シュノーケリング未経験な私は不安でしたが泳ぐ前にレクチャーしてくれるし、ライフジャケット着るので絶対に沈みません。とても安心してシュノーケリングできました。
・かなり寒いのでウェットスーツレンタルした方がいいと思います。可愛く水着で泳ぎたい方は上着とタオル必須です。
・軽食つきが有難い。お口直しのパイナップル、スナック、チーズバーガーが配られます。酔った人にチーズバーガーは追い討ちでしたがもちろんテイクアウト用の袋もくれます。私は酔ったのでパイナップル、レモンウォーターに助けられました。
・クルーがフラダンス披露してくれたり、ノリノリなのでとてもワクワク楽しいです。

イルカを2回目のシュノーケリングで見ることができました。イルカは早いのでしっかりクルーの先頭についていく事が見るコツかなぁと。群れで泳ぐイルカはなんとも言えない感動でした。子供のイルカもみれました。また船からもウォッチングしていたらスピンジャンプしてくれました。少しだけクジラも見ることができました。自然に触れられて感動です。
その後シュノーケリングする場所へ移動し、滑り台やボートなど自由に遊べます。カメもいましたし、熱帯魚がたくさんいました。

こんな事を書くとずるいですが、船に乗る時、最後にのると船の後ろらへんに座れます。後ろにいると海に入るのが先になるのでクルーにしっかりついていってイルカを見ることができました。今回はいませんでしたが、中には見れない人もいるみたいです。本当にタイミングです。
またイルカやカメと写真が撮れる、ということはないです。近寄ったりはダメなので。あくまでも遠くから見る、という感じです。
私は終盤によって吐きましたが、それまではとても楽しかったのでこのツアー文句ナシです。
私の不安も全部解消されて参加できました！安心、安全、とっても楽しい経験でした！
参加を検討されてる方、是非した方がいいですよ！
必ず酔い止め対策は誰でもしてくださいね！
