ドルフィンスイム　イルカと一緒に泳ごう！美ら海水族館すぐそば＜本部町＞by もとぶ元気村

You can go even in winter! A wonderful time with dolphins that you can only experience here. 😊 冬でもいけます！ここでしかできないイルカとの素敵な時間(^^)

Reviewed by: みーこーパパ

Unfortunately, it was a drizzly day, but wearing a wetsuit helped me get used to the water temperature quickly. More than that, the cuteness of the dolphins was the best! Each dolphin had its own personality, and while learning various things, I got to touch the dolphins, swim with them, and even see them jump right in front of me. I believe this is a rare experience that you can only have here. It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the time. With towels provided and a well-equipped changing room, I headed straight to the nearby Churaumi Aquarium after the experience.

あいにくの小雨日和、ウェットスーツを着ているのですぐに水温には慣れます。それよりもそれよりも、イルカのかわいさがサイコー！
イルカにも個性があって…といろんなことを教えてもらいつつ、イルカに触って、一緒に泳いで、つかまりながら泳いで、目の前で大ジャンプを見られて。
ここでしかできない貴重な体験だと思います。
ちょっとお高いですが、十分に価値ある時間です(^^)
タオル完備で更衣室もしっかりしているので、体験後にすぐ近くの美ら海水族館へ直行してきました。

Reviewed by: Chlolm

The whole family (parents and 3 kids aged between 9 to 14) loved the dolphin swim experience. Am surprised it is not as well publicised as other popular activities offered in Okinawa.

Dolphin Encounter with kids

Reviewed by: Gordon

This was a very nice experience and will never forget it. Having my kids and I participate and were able to feel the dolphins skin and see who they move in the water was amazing.

We were able to touch and play with the dolphins and the 50 minutes went by so fast that we wanted more. I think we will be back for other Dolphin encounters at Genki Village which is also a nice and friendly environment.

Dolphin Encounter with little ones

Reviewed by: Gordon

The Dolphin Encounter experience was one that won't be forgetful. This rare time to see dolphins close up was very special for my children and I. My kids are 8 and 6 and they really were amazed with being able to touch the dolphin family. Also having interaction with them by showing our hands and the dolphins doing tricks with what each hand gesture meant. Then we were able to throw rings to see the dolphins return with them no matter how far. These animals are so smart. Finally able to see them do their flips that was a sight to see. It was a very nice time and it let my kids know a more personal understanding of how dolphins are.

Only recommendation would be to give more personal time with the dolphins but I know its hard to do with big groups.

Super fun with the dolphins!

Reviewed by: lovalovaa

You can spend half day in Genki village, it's not an usual big park, but you can have some water activities, feeds the aminials such as goats, tortoise, fishes there except encounter the dolphins.
Coaches and dolphins are both super fun and friendly, it's a great experience and get close with the dolphins, they sing, they dance and they leap! My 3yro child love it so much, becuz he can touch it face, belly, hand for many times! Coaches will teach you some simple gestures to invite the dolphins to come to you, high five and instruct them to you turn around etc

Family-Friendly Dolphin Encounter with Professional Instructor in Okinawa

非常好的親親海豚活動

Reviewed by: C. Leung

整個活動體驗都非常好。工作人員熱心和專業的解說，令到整個活動都成為十分合適一家大小參與的活動。比較意想不到的是，以為只會跟一條海豚玩耍，原來會有兩條輪流。工作人員簡單英語的表達，令不懂日語的旅客都都明白活動要求和指令。場內設施也很齊備，只是更衣室、淋浴間和洗手間比較小，活動過後雲要等一下才可以用，但毛巾供應充足。活動期間也有專業攝影師幫忙影相，活動後也可以讓旅客自由決定購買與否，照片會錢也很相宜。這個活動十分推介為親子遊的活動

Close encounter with dolphins

Reviewed by: Jennifer

First of all you need to walk a little path to genki village but the signage can be bigger we won't very sure at first. Japanese staff tried their best to explain some informations about dolphins to us the kids learned something (I hope!). I was alone with my daughter so it was very difficult to take picture and looking after my little girl same time. It is better to have third person to help you take pictures. The whole experience was good we were very close with the dolphins watching them doing different tricks. I think we got to pad them about three or four times. I think this is a must try experience with little kids at Okinawa something you will always remember in life!

Family-Friendly Dolphin Encounter with Professional Instructor in Okinawa

A joyful experience

Reviewed by: Suki Yam

It is an activity which could give a chance for kids to have known more about dolphin. Friendly staff and good encounter program which makes our day joyful.

We arrived at around 1400. There are several activities on site for kids to spend time. A mini trampoline, badminton, swings, balance track, tricycle, etc. At around 14:45, staff was going to gather all the participants and help the participants to wear the life vest. All the belongings could be kept in the locker in the toilet. 10 mins later, all the participants are guided to a room for a dolphin introduction session. The staff could speak fluence English in the introduction and we know more about a dolphin.
After the introductory session, all the participants are divided into several small groups. The instructor teaches us how we could touch the dolphin and teach us to make a simple order to the dolphin. The group had been exchanged after around 10 mins. This is a very good arrangement as the participants could enter counter with more than one dolphin.
As a family of three, I applied 2 people (Father and Son) to participate in this activity. I would like to take some photo and video for my family members. I found that I was not allowed to go into the area which make video/photo is difficult. It was a joyful moment and would be good if I could take more photo and video to share in social media. I would like to recommend the participant at least could bring one accompany to go into the activity area.
Overall, I highly recommend this activity especially for a family with kids.

Super Fun!

Such a fun experience! Believe it's geared more towards kids but we had a great time and the instructors were awesome.

English is a bit of a brutal but the instructors truly took the time to ensure we understood everything. They were great!

Would recommend this to anyone!

Many dolphins たくさんのイルカ

Despite it being the end of the year, it was bustling with many customers. Within less than five minutes of leaving the port, we saw a lot of dolphins and were able to watch them for the entire time. The captain taught us various things, which was very informative!

Amakusa Dolphin Watching Cruise Tour from Kumamoto

Cute dolphins

Reviewed by: Marumo

I was looking for some interesting sightseeing in Kumamoto, when I found dolphin watching. I joined a similar tour in Hawaii before and I had heard that dolphins can be seen in Japan as well, at Amakusa. Of course I rushed to it! Also it was my first experience joining this type of 'free' bus trip from Kumamoto. I exchanged the voucher at the ticket center in Kumamoto station in the morning, I took the bus by myself, and get off alone and boarded the cruise boat. This is definitely self guided travel.
As it is winter I was worried if I'd be able to see dolphins, but I heard dolphins can be found regardless of the season. Then after about 40 minutes on board the cruiser (with heating), I finally saw the herd of dolphins! So impressive... The captain said it was a group of about 100 dolphins. I could see them up-close for about 20 minutes. I'm very satisfied.
Those booking the tour should be careful to check they are getting on and off at the right bus stop and make sure they know all the bus times.
