We took part in a dolphin swim experience, which had been a long-held dream of our child. At first, our child was a little nervous around the large dolphins, but thanks to the staff’s kind support, they were soon interacting with them with a big smile. We were able to capture photos of them swimming together, which made me, as a parent, incredibly happy—these photos have become a precious family treasure.
My children and I took part in a dolphin interaction experience. Even our youngest child was able to observe the dolphins up close, and their eyes lit up at the sight of the dolphins’ intelligence and cuteness. The staff kindly showed us how to interact with them, so as a parent, I was able to watch over them with peace of mind—it was a wonderful family memory.
I stayed at this facility during my last visit to Ishigaki Island and was so impressed that I decided to return this time for the dolphin interaction experience. As always, the staff’s deep affection for the dolphins was evident, and interacting with these intelligent and adorable creatures was truly healing. It’s a wonderful facility where everyone—from young children to adults—can enjoy themselves with peace of mind, and it never fails to live up to expectations, no matter how many times you visit.
I participated in a dolphin swim experience course on Ishigaki Island. The facility was kept clean, and the staff gave us a thorough explanation of the dolphins’ behavior and how to interact with them. Actually swimming in the ocean with the dolphins was a truly unique experience, and I was very impressed by how intelligent they are. We were also able to take photos, which allowed us to capture this precious experience, and we had a truly fulfilling time.
I took part in this tour while traveling alone on Ishigaki Island, but the staff were so friendly and approachable that I never felt lonely and was able to fully enjoy interacting with the dolphins. Seeing the dolphins up close, they were so intelligent and adorable, and as I swam alongside them, I felt the fatigue of everyday life completely melt away. It became a wonderful memory of a solo trip where I was completely immersed in the creatures of the great outdoors.
We took the kids on a dolphin encounter. At first, the kids were a little nervous around the big dolphins, but thanks to the staff, who gently taught them how to interact with them, they were soon smiling and swimming alongside them. As a parent, I was also deeply moved by the dolphins’ intelligence and cuteness up close, and it added another precious memory to our family’s collection.
