I had a valuable experience. 貴重な体験できました

Reviewed by: 小学生3兄弟ママ

It was a lot of fun to have the experience of entering the pool with the dolphins, being able to touch them, and swimming while holding onto them. I wish we could have spent a little more time swimming with the dolphins.

イルカと同じプールに入って、触らしてもらえたり、イルカにつかまって泳げたり、なかなかできない経験ができて楽しかったです♡もう少しイルカと一緒に泳ぐ時間が長いといいなと思いました。

There are many cute dolphins. 可愛いイルカが沢山います

I thought it was a facility for children, but I had a valuable experience that adults can enjoy as well. The dolphins are friendly and very lively. The staff are very kind and provide clear explanations.

子供向けの施設かと思っていましたが、大人も十分楽しめる貴重な体験ができました。イルカ達は、人懐っこくとっても元気。スタッフの皆さんは、とても優しく、分かりやすく説明してくれます。

They seemed happy to give instructions to the dolphins. Although the time spent swimming together was short, they were very satisfied. It was also nice that they offered free towel rentals and that we could shower and return home clean.

イルカに指示を出したりでき嬉しそうでした
一緒に泳げる時間は少しですが、充分満足していました。無料でタオル貸し出しがあったり、シャワーして綺麗な身体で帰れるのも良かったです。

I didn't expect to be able to connect this much! こんなに触れ合えるとは思ってなかったです！

Reviewed by: ゆき

First, we had a classroom session about dolphins aimed at children, followed by recreational activities with the dolphins, then dolphin swimming, and finally a parent-child dolphin show. During the recreational activities, we not only played but were also allowed to pet the dolphins, and we received explanations about their teeth, skin, and personalities. I was shocked when we actually collected some skin.

The dolphin swim was guided with thorough explanations, allowing me to catch the dolphin without any mistakes. Even if you fail, the dolphin will come back for a second round, so as long as you’re not scared, you should be fine. It felt like a dream to have the dolphin swim and carry me; it truly became a wonderful memory. I was impressed by how the swimming style changed when I held onto the flippers versus the dorsal fin.

The closing parent-child dolphin show was also a very luxurious experience since we were the only audience. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

まずはイルカという生き物について子供向けの座学をして、次にイルカとレクリエーションをし、その次にドルフィンスイム、最後に親子のイルカショーの流れでした。
レクリエーションの時、遊ぶだけではなくイルカを撫でさせたりしてもらえるのですが、イルカの歯や垢やその子の性格などの説明もしてもらえました。垢が実際に採れた時は衝撃でした。
ドルフィンスイムは丁寧な説明で指導して貰えたので私はノーミスでイルカに捕まる事ができました。もし失敗してもイルカが二週目来てくれるので、恐怖さえなければ大丈夫だと思います。イルカが泳いで自分を運んでくれるなんて夢の様で、本当に素敵な思い出になりました。鰭を掴んだ時と背鰭を掴んだ時で泳ぎ方も違ったのでイルカは凄いんだなぁと感心しました。
締めの親子イルカショーも自分達しか観客がいない中でなのでとても贅沢な時間を味わえたと思います。
この度はありがとうございました。

Dolphin Encounter with kids

Reviewed by: MAN

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 10 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.

Dolphin Interaction Experience & Banana Boat イルカふれあい体験＆バナナボート

Reviewed by: りぐっぽん

I had a great time interacting closely with four dolphins. The dolphins were very smooth and incredibly cute. My 6-year-old child was also delighted.

Before interacting with the dolphins, we had a time to learn about their ecology and which areas we should not touch, which was good.

After the interaction experience, we also added an option for a banana boat ride, and I thought it was great because we were shown beautiful coral and other sights.

4匹のイルカとすごく近くで触れ合え、とても楽しかったです。
イルカはすごくツルツルしていて、とっても可愛かったです。
6歳の子供も喜んでいました。

イルカと触れ合う前にイルカの生態や触ってはいけないところなども勉強する時間もあり、よかったです。

触れ合い体験の後に、バナナボートもオプションでつけましたが、珊瑚など紹介してもらってすごく綺麗でつけてよかったと思いました。

You can observe dolphins up close. 間近でイルカを観察できる

Reviewed by: しっさん

When walking in a group, it can be difficult to hear the explanations if there are many people.
To visit the dolphins' habitat by the sea, it's important to be mindful of the summer sun and the cold winter winds.
Dolphins often come close to humans, and you can see their expressions well.
You will need 100 yen to use the locker for your belongings (refundable).

集団で歩いていくので人数が多い場合は説明が聞こえにくい場合もある。
海辺にあるイルカの住処に行くため、夏の日差しと冬の冷たい風には注意が必要です。
イルカは人間に寄ってくることが多くよく表情まで見えました。

I also had a great time with the other participants, and it was really enjoyable.
Thank you! (´▽｀)
It's a shame I forgot to bring a waterproof case to hang around my neck, so I couldn't take photos, but I was so absorbed in the dolphins that I didn't have time to take pictures, so maybe it was for the best.

I thought the grounds were smaller than I expected. It seems like there is an indoor pool, but I wonder if it was closed? If the goal is to swim with or interact with dolphins, I think it's a good place. Since I went with a one-year-old, it was a walking tour, but it was nice to be able to see them up close.

思ったよりは敷地は狭いなと思いました。室内プールがあるみたいですが、クローズしてたのかな？
イルカと泳いだり、触れあったりするのが目的なら良い場所だと思います。一歳といったので、ウォーキングツアーでしたが、これはこれで、近くで見せてあげられて良かったです

It was great to be able to swim while being caught by a dolphin. イルカに捕まって泳げたのは良かった

Reviewed by: わーま

I had touched a dolphin before, but I had never swum with one, so I signed up. Each person got to swim about 10 meters.

Considering safety, I guess this is about the right amount?

I didn't keep an exact eye on the clock, but out of the 50 minutes, there were 10 minutes for explanation, then we moved to the pool and split into two groups of 10 to start. After about 15 minutes of interaction, we switched to another dolphin for another 15 minutes. That's the general idea. It was engaging and ended in no time. We had a great time, and I think it was a wonderful experience for the kids.

The time each person got to interact felt like about 5 minutes in total, so as an adult, I couldn't help but think about the cost, and I felt it was a bit pricey.

Also, the waterproof case I bought for my phone quickly filled with water and was ruined. I wonder if I could have gotten it exchanged if I had said something? The staff seemed really busy and efficient, so it didn't feel like the right moment to speak up.

イルカに触ったことはあったけど、捕まって泳いだことがなく、申し込みました。
1人10mくらい泳がせてもらいました。

安全面を考えるとこのくらいなのかな？

ちゃんと時計を見たわけではないですが、50分のうち、説明10分、プールへ移動して10人を2グループに分けてスタート。15分くらい触れ合ったら、別のイルカにチェンジして、もう15分。くらいのイメージです。
飽きさせず、あっという間に終わりました。
楽しかったねー！と親子で盛り上がりました。こどもにはとてもいい経験だったと思います。
1人が触れ合える時間は、合計5分くらいの感覚ですので、大人はどうしてもお金のことも考えてしまい、値段は高いと思ってしまいました。

そこで購入した、携帯防水ケースがあっという間に浸水して、ダメでした。言ったら交換してもらえたのかな？すごい忙しそうにキビキビしてたので、声かける空気じゃなかったので。。

A memorable experience which I will remember for years to come

Reviewed by: ASweetTraveller

Amazing experience!! The dolphins were so sweet and friendly. The staff and trainers were very professional and kind. We loved every second and wished it went on for longer!

Changing room and shower facilities are available on-site which is very convenient and clean. They also have lockers to store your belongings (100yen coin required as deposit). The activity started with a classroom briefing then followed by the dolphin experience. We were introduced to and played with two dolphins. We were able to touch their back, sides, belly and nose. They were super friendly and cute. The trainers were very patient and gave clear instructions.

They have an on-site photographer who took around 5 pictures for us. At the end of the event, you can purchase them at 1800 yen each, which we felt was experience but we bought three anyway. They didn’t give discount for buying more, which some other places do. I would recommend you bring an action cam to film the experience. We only had a hand held cam and phone so it was difficult to catch all the moments.

Overall, big thumbs up.

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。
