My wife and I loved our experience with the dolphins. We did the Royal Swim which gave us 2 diffrent types of rides with the dolphins. We got the foot push and the dorsal fin ride. The dolphins were so great it was such a thrill to be so close to these magnificent creatures. The training staff was excellent in describing them to us and telling us what we were supposed to do. The only negative thing I could say about this experience is that I think that they should not charge you so much for the pictures of the experience. After spending 430.00 to do the swim I then had to shell out another 100 + dollars to get the pictures and when we went to get the pictures I was then informed that because of the possibility of girls losing the bottom of their swimsuits during the footpush ride they are not permitted to photograph that yet they can video it so that you have to buy the dvd that has the footpush ride on it. My thing is if you can video it why wouldnt you be able to photograph it. Basi

It was awesome. I've read some reviews stating that the staff seemed disinterested, but on the day I went, they were pretty great. The photos and video were ridiculously expensive, but I have to say that every moment was documented and beautifully. I did the dolphin royal swim (as part of the all day package) and while that was very expensive too, it was so worth it. The dolphins and wholphin (seriously, a wholphin - where are you going to have an opportunity to swim with one of those?!!!) were wonderful; the foot push made you feel like you were flying - it was my favorite. It was also great to interract with sea lions and rays and feed the turtles and just have the opportunity to come SO CLOSE to these wonderful animals.

My husband and I did the morning snorkle on 10/26/09. Being a certified SCUBA diver, I never thought snorkeling would be so memorable after diving several exotic locations. Boy was I wrong. The staff made it a point to make all 3 locations as memorable and interactive as possible from locating a pod of approx 160 dolphins after several failed attempts to even finding several impressive turtles at the "cleaning station." This is a total A+++ adventure and I recommend to everyone. But for having event planned every other day during our stay, I would have gladly redone this adventure and hope to do it again when we return to Hawaii.

もうすぐ2歳になる息子と主人がドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。私はビデオ撮影の為見学者で参加しました。息子はイルカとのキスは少し怖がって出来ませんでしたがイルカにタッチはすごく喜んでいた様でした。日本ではなかなかこんな体験は出来ないのですごく良い記念になりました。イルカとの写真も綺麗に撮って頂いてこちらも買って良かったです。またハワイに行くときは是非参加したいです。

ハワイには数回訪れていますが、シーライフパークに行ったのは初めてでした。今回訪れた目的は『ドルフィンロイヤルスイム』!8歳の娘が年齢・身長制限をクリアしたこともあって、お値段は少々お高めですが、日本ではまずできないイルカとのふれあいをさせよう!と参加しました。もちろん娘一人ではまだ参加できないので、パパが同伴者として参加しました。
私たちは他に5歳と2歳の子も一緒だったので、送迎なしのツアーに申し込み、シーライフパークまでは家族5人でレンタカーで行きました。1番目の回だったので、レンタカーなどで行かれるかたは大丈夫のようですが、トロリーなどを使われる方は1番の回は厳しいかもしれません。
2人が参加した回は娘の他には子供はいませんでした。担当してくれたインストラクターの方は日本人のようで、日本語でも説明があり娘も理解できていたようですが、プールは当然足もつかず、ライフジャケットを着用するだけなので、大丈夫か心配でした。2頭のイルカの背びれにつかまってプールを泳いだり、足の裏をイルカの鼻でプッシュして”スーパーマン”のように泳いだり、顔に水がかかることは必至なので、そのあたりがクリアできていれば、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ただ、足の裏をプッシュしてもらうのは娘の足が小さいので、イルカ自身も難しいようです。失敗してもう一度やる?と聞かれていましたが、娘はリトライはしませんでした。パパの方は、バッチリ♪アクティビティ参加中の写真やDVDの販売もあり、希望者は確認して買うこともできます。あっというまでしたが、娘はイルカに触ったり間近で見たり、と普段できない経験ができてとても興奮していました。今度、下の二人が大きくなったらまたやらせてみたいなと思います。

It was great. I was lucky enough to have the turtles swim right up to my nose, and the dolphins to swim up right underneath me. We had some trouble getting the dolphins to come close, but I'm glad that the crew kept on trying. The guys were really nice and the photographer took some great shots. I think it's great for first timers as well - you can opt to go after everyone and the crew really makes sure that you're safe. I would do it again any time (if I had more time in Oahu, I actually would've done it again in the week that I was there) and highly recommend it.
I wish I heard about the "deep drop" before I went, but I guess it just means I'll have to go again...

イルカに触れることが出来て大変貴重な体験でした。参加者は、私ども2名を含め全員で8名。
アメリカから来られたファミリー4名と日本人2名と私ども。
イルカトレーナーは、日本人の方で英語と日本語と両方で説明してくれ、非常に楽しめました。
ただ、帰りの時間が14時30分が第1便と狭いシーライフパークでは時間を潰すのに苦労するかも。
私どもは、午後13時30分よりワイキキでの予定があったため、ザ・バスにて帰って来ました。所用時間は約1時間。
22番(火曜日運休)と23番のどちらかに乗車すれば、間違いなくワイキキに着きます。
22番はシーサイドラインと呼ばれ非常にきれいな海外線を走る模様。
午後の時間を有意義に使いたい方は、午前一番の回に参加し、ザ・バスで帰ってくることをオススメします。

リピートです♪3年前に参加した時にいた日本人の男性スタッフさん(とても楽しくていい人だったんですがどちらに行かれたのでしょうか・・・?)がいなくなっていました(泣)今回は日本語ができない方が担当でしたので残念でした。
また、3年前の時は、海の見える綺麗なプールでアクティビティーを体験できましたが、今回はパークの中の方にある普通のプールでした(悲)

家族4人でドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
1歳の子供と、4歳の子供ではじめは大丈夫かな?と
心配していましたが、始まると間近でみるイルカに大興奮!
インストラクターの方は英語でしたが問題はありません。
サブの方が日本語で説明してくれました。
皆さんが写真を撮る間も、イルカに触らせてくれたり、
あきさせない工夫をしてくれました。
プールの中は少し冷たいのでラッシュガードなど
着ていた方が良いと思います。
園内もさほど広くないのでツアー内で十分見学できると思います。
日本では体験できないのでお勧めです。

I never thought I would get the chance to be up close with dolphins, but with the great value I got I was able to. It is definitely worth the money.

This tour was very enjoyable, we had friendly drivers picking us up & drop us at the hotel and they made an effort to get you all excited and made you feel like you were really on holiday.
The park itself was great, its small but with all the tours and activities with the Royal pass, time flew and then it was closing time. Everything on the tour was a magical experience, starting with playing with a sea lion, to the ray fish, to riding with the dolphins and seeing the first ever crossbreed of a whale/dolphin. absoultey great and an unforgetable day. Truely worth spending the money for the royal pass as you really do get to play and ride the dolphins. The only disappointment was that we spend alot of money paying for the DVD and photos of us with the dolphins and not all the different rides with the dolphins were captured by the photographer and camera person. They were really disinterested and most of the time on their cell phone instead of paying attention to capture people's first

家族で参加しました。私だけ参加して残りの家族はベンチから見学です。一人で参加するのは心細いですが日本人同士一緒のグループになりましたし、スタッフの方も片言の日本語で説明してくれます。園内には日本人スタッフもいるので安心です。イルカと触れ合える時間は正味30分程度ですが、イルカ好きならこの値段を払っても満足できると思います。なお同行者がいる場合は近くで写真を撮ってもらえるので助かります。有料の写真は間近で撮ってくれるので確かによい写りでしょうが、普通のスナップ写真でも十分満足できました。

6/12にロイヤルスイムに彼氏と参加しました。
日本でも、水族館に行って、イルカのショウなどを見て、いつかイルカに触れてみたいという夢を持っていた私・・・。
$215と高めだったけど、今回参加を決意して、こちらで申込をしました。メールで予約確定と返事がくるのも早く、安心できました。
当日は時間きっちりにお迎えが来てくれました。外国人の方も多くドライバーは英語でした。シーライフパークに着くと、入口では、日本語対応の方が居て、説明をしてくれました。
ただし、イルカのトレーナーの方は日本語が話せないので、ちょっと戸惑いましたが、こちらの口コミであるように、他の外国人の方がやるのを、見様見真似でなんとかなりました。?頬づり&キス、?背びれつかまり、?足をイルカに押してもらう はイルカが飽きないように、10人ランダムに順不同で行います。?は1番先に私がやったので、ちょっと失敗してしまいました。。
私の時にはロイヤルスイムは10人での参加で、私と彼氏以外は全員アメリカ人。
やはり他のプログラムは値段が安めなので同時刻の参加者は20~30人ほどだったので、私的には優越感も感じました。
プログラム終了後、他のプログラム参加者は、『ロイヤルにすれば良かったな』と言ってきた人も居ましたよ。
かなり大きな丸々太ったイルカ達だったので、彼氏はちょっとビビッていました(笑)
本当にイルカちゃんは賢くて利口で従順でプログラムの最中感動で泣いちゃいました。本当おすすめです。
私はDVD$50で購入。彼は写真を2枚購入しちゃいました。
プログラムが終わって帰りの時間までの間も、日本の水族館とはまた一味違って、ショウなどをやっていたのですが、とても近くで見れて、1番前に座って見ていたらペンギンが足元まで来てくれて、これもまた感動しちゃいました。とても空いているので、席の移動も全然OK。時間があっという間に過ぎました。
帰りにはドライバーさんが、ハナウマ湾のビューポイントで少し停車してくれて、写真を撮る時間をくれました。(こちらは特にプログラムには書いてないので、ドライバーさんによっては寄らない場合もあるかもしれませんが・・・。
本当に貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
私はハワイ5回目ですが、夢がひとつ叶いました♪

We used hawaiiactivities.com a couple years ago to book parasailing and it went well so we booked the Dolphin Adventure this year through his same website and got great service from hawaiiactivities while booking.
We did the Dolphin Adventure and had a great time. I thought 30 minutes in the water wouldn't be long enough, but it was perfect.
For the belly ride you need to swim to the deeper end, but you're wearing a life jacket which keeps you a float. I don't know how to swim and was able to just doggie paddle with my life jacket to get to the deep end.
The staff there is very friendly, including the driver that took us to and from the park.
Note that if you choose to use their transportation, be prepared to wait around for a while, either to get into the water or to get a ride back to the hotel since it appeared there's only one transport sheduled for the morning activities. We left Waikiki at 9am for the 11:45am activity and didn't leave the park until 2:30pm. Seali

My husband and I did this activity with our 16-month-old son. And we all loved it. Seeing the excitement on my son's face was worth the money. Being able to touch the dolphins and seeing what amazing creatures they are was an experience I feel my family and I will never forget. They took our photo with the dolphin and a video and both were super expensive. We did purchase it because it was quite an experience.
Buster was our dolphin and Carly was his trainer and both were fantastic. We learned a great deal from the trainer and they brought out another dolphin that was in the movie "50 First Dates".
After the encounter we enjoyed the rest of the park. The dolphin show was just as great and I got some really great video too. All the shows they had there were a lot of fun. I would definitely go again.
