ネット予約して、ふれあい体験をしました。当日でも空いていれば出来るようですが予約した方が良いでしょう。胴長を貸してもらっての体験ですが、イルカはいたずらっ子なので、水しぶきをいっぱいくれますのでしっかり濡れます。胴長の中も濡れていることが有るので、着替えやタオルは有った方が良いでしょう。イルカの体の仕組みなども教えてもらい、とても良い体験でした。 ※ネット予約の際、Gmailで登録すると返信がシステム上来ない様です。予約後、ＴＥＬで確認した方が良いです。

こじんまりとはしていますが、餌やり体験、ふれあい体験、ドルフィンスイムなど様々イルカとの体験ができます。また元気に水を飛ばすカメもいて、こちらも餌やり可能です。海獣との触れ合いにぜひ。

インターネットでの事前予約で子どもと一緒に参加しました♪ 人生ではじめてイルカと一緒に泳ぎました。訓練されている子たちなので約束を守れば噛んだりされることはありません。この夏に多発しているイルカに噛まれる事故があることをお尋ねしたら、イルカが浅瀬に迷い込んだりしていたり、泳いでる人間などを怖いと思って逃げていたり、嫌だというサインを出しているのに人間がしつこく追いかけてしまっている可能性が高いということをトレーナーさんからトレーナーさん目線のお話を聞くことができました。それもイルカの特徴を教えてもらったこともあってか全く初めてのイルカとの触れ合いだったのですが大きなワンチャンのような？たとえが良くないかもですが汗その子その子の感情が手に取るようにわかるように感じました。ウエットスーツも貸してくれて安心して泳げました。子どもはライフジャケットも一緒につけてくれました！ちょっと残念だったのが、家族全員で参加してしまったので、泳いでいるところの写真を残すことができませんでした…涙😢 水辺でのアクティビティなので気軽に持ってけないのでお金がかかっても良いので何枚かでも写真を撮っていただけたらなぁと思いました。楽天ペイ PayPay d払いクレジット使えるようです！
