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。
荷物をロッカーに入れるため100円が必要です。（返却式）

It was a different world♡ 別世界でした♡

Reviewed by: まりち

We boarded the boat for about a 10-minute ride to the viewpoint, then spent around 20 minutes exploring the underwater observatory and the seabed. After that, we returned to the boat and headed to the disembarkation point. The coral reefs were truly beautiful, and colorful fish swam nearby, making it feel like a different world. I heard that if you're lucky, you might see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for us. However, after returning to land, I was satisfied to see the sea turtles that are cared for at the Tobu Genki Village.

ビューポイントまで10分くらい船上に乗り移動、そののち海中の展望室から
海底を散策20分くらい、また船上に戻り、解散場所へという行程でした。
サンゴ礁は本当に美しく、きれいな魚も近くを泳いでいてまさに別世界でした。運が良いとウミガメもみられるそうですが・・残念ながらそれはかなわず・・陸に上がってからもとぶ元気村で飼育（？）されているウミガメが見られたので、満足でした。

It was a fun time! 楽しい時間でした♪♪

Reviewed by: anko

I participated for the first time.
I had a lot of fun playing with the dolphins, even more than I expected!
At first, I was nervous about the power of the dolphins up close, but I was able to swim while holding onto their bellies and dorsal fins, which truly became a wonderful memory.
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.

初めて参加しました。
思っていた以上にイルカちゃんと遊べて楽しかったです！
近くで見るイルカの迫力に初めは緊張しましたが
お腹の上や背鰭につかまって泳げたり

Reviewed by: Butter

I used this service because I wanted to show my young daughter the underwater world. The price was reasonable, and all the staff were very kind, making for a very enjoyable time. We moved to Coral Point while sitting on the deck, and after arriving at the point, we moved to the bottom of the boat, which felt like being submerged in the sea. I was impressed by that system alone. We were able to see many fish, and my daughter was very satisfied. Additionally, at Motobu Genki Village, there were many activities, including playing with dolphins, which we participated in on-site. I am grateful for the memorable experience I had with my daughter.

幼い娘に海の中を見せたくて利用しました。
お値段もお手頃な上にスタッフの方々も皆さん親切で、とても楽しい時間でした。
コーラルポイントまで甲板に座り移動し、ポイントに着いてから船底に移動しそこの部分が海の中に入る感じでした。そのシステムだけでも感激でした。そして、沢山のお魚を見ることが出来て娘も大満足でした。
また、こちらのもとぶげんき村ではイルカと遊べたりと他にも沢山のアクティビティがあり現地で参加させて頂きました。
思い出深い体験を娘とできた事を感謝致します。

A dolphin came close to greet me. イルカがすぐ近くまで挨拶にきてくれた

Reviewed by: 旅行好き

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

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

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。。

Family-Friendly Dolphin Encounter with Professional Instructor in Okinawa

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.

The waves were relatively rough on the day, and while we were able to see them, the time we spent observing was quite short compared to the travel time. Overall, it was a good experience, I suppose. Since it's a natural experience, luck plays a part as well. It would have been perfect if the weather had been sunny and the waves calm.

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(^^)

Since it was New Year's, there was an event at Motobu Genki Village, and the employees were friendly.

They were kind to the children but cold to the adults. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

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.
