Frequently asked questions about this plan

Q. Is it possible to swim only wearing a life jacket?

Wetsuits are mandatory. The purpose is to ensure buoyancy and to protect the skin. Unlike in the open sea, the purpose is to prevent shellfish and seaweed from damaging your skin as you swim in the yukes.

Q. Do I have to be able to swim to take the swim course?

Please refrain from using the ocean, swimming pools, or any other water that you have a fear of.
The swim course is basically a course where you can play with dolphins while floating on the surface of the water.

Wetsuits, fins, masks, snorkels, and gloves are required for all participants. Wetsuits provide buoyancy similar to wearing floatation rings, so there is no need to worry about sinking.

Also, since you wear fins, mask, and snorkel, swimming is easier than swimming in a pool.
Life jackets are also available for rent for children.

Q. Can I bring my own camera or video camera to take pictures?

You may bring your own camera or video equipment to the ykes for filming.
Please be careful of splashing when dolphins jump.

Q. If it rains, will the program be cancelled?

The event will be held rain or shine! (We never cancel because of rain.)
The content of the tour may be changed or cancelled if sea conditions deteriorate due to typhoons or other factors, or if it is deemed unsafe to hold the tour.
Please note that the content of the tour may be changed or cancelled due to the dolphins' physical condition.

Q. Can I cross the Ikes with a wheelchair or stroller?

Due to the instability of the top of the Ikes, wheelchairs and strollers are not allowed to cross the Ikes.
If you wish to cross the street, you will need to be carried across without a wheelchair or stroller.
*Please contact us in advance if you need support.

It was a wonderful experience. Swimming with the dolphins was like being in another world, instantly making you forget your everyday life. I was impressed that the dolphins were very friendly and followed the trainer's instructions. This plan made my stay in Ishigaki Island even more special.

I was happy to be able to take a commemorative photo with the dolphins. I was able to take pictures with my own camera, so it was a special memory. The trainer's lecture was easy to understand and I was able to learn more about dolphins. The dolphins were very friendly and I am very glad that I joined the tour with my children.

The experience of swimming with the dolphins was truly a lifetime memory! The dolphin petting time was especially impressive, and I was able to directly feel the warmth and touch of the dolphins. The trainers were very kind and we were able to learn a lot about dolphins. The children were also very happy!

It was a dream come true! Being in direct contact with dolphins was an experience beyond my imagination. Swimming in the wetsuit was easy even for beginners, and being able to share the same line of sight as the dolphins in the water is a truly special feeling. The changing rooms were well equipped and comfortable!

After the reception desk, we moved to the koike. We were driven for a while along a wild road to the koike, which may have been under construction, and arrived at the hut for the lecture. After changing into a wetsuit and receiving a lecture, we finally went to the pond. First of all, we had a chance to interact with the fish. After the experience, we moved to the adjacent kesu for the dolphin swimming experience. My wife and my 7-year-old son experienced it, while I played the role of a photographer (observation). From the excitement of my oldest son, I was glad I let him experience the dolphin swimming. As a result, my wife said, "I'm glad we didn't just do the petting zoo experience. It was a valuable experience for me.

The diving tour was canceled due to bad weather. I asked the staff of Ishigaki Tours about it and they recommended this dive, which happened to be available. The dolphins were so cute, and more importantly, it was a great experience for my children. I would like to do it again!

Swimming with dolphins was one of my dreams. I am glad it came true here. I really enjoyed the lecture, the petting experience, and the swim with the dolphins. The participants swim in snorkel gear and stay afloat. The location is in the Ikes. Don't be misled into thinking that you can swim freely in the wide ocean (which would be impossible in real life). The price is not cheap for the activity, but I did not think it was expensive. The staff is very helpful and they give you a perfect score. Thank you very much. I think it is okay to participate with your children. I think you can make great memories. There is no pick up and drop off service. If you do not have a rental car, it would be better to take a cab to the meeting point.

It was my first time to see dolphins. It was a precious experience for me because I had an image that "interacting" with dolphins, which is common in Hawaii, is quite difficult to do in Japan. It was a unique experience to be able to touch dolphins while getting wet in the relaxing Ishigaki Island.

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and I can only be satisfied that you made it come true this time! Thank you very much!

I was brave enough to try snorkeling with dolphins. Although it was in a yukes, the snorkeling in the open ocean was great to swim with the natural fish that live in the ocean, unlike in an aquarium. The staff was very kind and explained everything to us and guided us through the experience.

I always wanted to swim with dolphins, but it was pretty scary when I got to see them! LOL! But they were gentle and the staff escorted me gently so I felt safe! Thank you very much! Thank you also for the dolphins!

I was able to realize my dream of dolphin swim! I have loved dolphins since I was a little girl and wanted to swim with them, but I never had a chance, and recently I almost forgot about it, but it just so happened that I was going to Ishigaki Island, and I was making plans somehow, and then, what do you know...! I happened to be going to Ishigaki Island, and I was just deciding what to do! I had decided to go to Ishigaki Island by chance, and I was making plans for a "Dolphin Swim Experience! Without consulting my boyfriend who was going with me, I applied for it on my own. The time was short, but it was great to swim with dolphins, which I had longed for! I even got a two-shot photo with the dolphins, so I changed my icon photo right away. Thank you so much!

My family of three experienced the dolphin swim. My 8 year old daughter enjoyed it so much that she wants to become a dolphin instructor in the future. It was a great experience.

Since it was October, we were able to swim with the dolphins while there were few people around! We were able to swim with the dolphins for about a lap around the yukes. I recommend this tour because I think there are not many places where you can swim with dolphins so easily!
