Must go

Reviewed by: Annie

It was really a memorable experience! The kids really love it and the good thing is that you don’t need to get entirely wet. You can also tell that the dolphins are well treated too! Must go!

Family-Friendly Dolphin Encounter with Professional Instructor in Okinawa

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

Family-Friendly Dolphin Encounter with Professional Instructor in Okinawa

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!

Reviewed by: Steven

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!
