Great staff! very fun and relaxing! I felt very safe the whole time and learned a lot about Dolphins. I wish the staff would take at least a couple of pictures.... I wanted some pictures.

思ったよりは敷地は狭いなと思いました。室内プールがあるみたいですが、クローズしてたのかな?
イルカと泳いだり、触れあったりするのが目的なら良い場所だと思います。一歳といったので、ウォーキングツアーでしたが、これはこれで、近くで見せてあげられて良かったです

イルカに触ったことはあったけど、捕まって泳いだことがなく、申し込みました。
1人10mくらい泳がせてもらいました。
安全面を考えるとこのくらいなのかな?
ちゃんと時計を見たわけではないですが、50分のうち、説明10分、プールへ移動して10人を2グループに分けてスタート。15分くらい触れ合ったら、別のイルカにチェンジして、もう15分。くらいのイメージです。
飽きさせず、あっという間に終わりました。
楽しかったねー!と親子で盛り上がりました。こどもにはとてもいい経験だったと思います。
1人が触れ合える時間は、合計5分くらいの感覚ですので、大人はどうしてもお金のことも考えてしまい、値段は高いと思ってしまいました。
そこで購入した、携帯防水ケースがあっという間に浸水して、ダメでした。言ったら交換してもらえたのかな?すごい忙しそうにキビキビしてたので、声かける空気じゃなかったので。。

Such a wonderful time. Definitely should be at the top of the list if you're going to do anything here in Japan. Everything is pretty much set up great. All the information is there on the website as to what you need to bring and such. Communication was amazing too, if you're afraid of not understanding anything, the staff was polite and helped in every possible way.

Amazing experience!! The dolphins were so sweet and friendly. The staff and trainers were very professional and kind. We loved every second and wished it went on for longer!
Changing room and shower facilities are available on-site which is very convenient and clean. They also have lockers to store your belongings (100yen coin required as deposit). The activity started with a classroom briefing then followed by the dolphin experience. We were introduced to and played with two dolphins. We were able to touch their back, sides, belly and nose. They were super friendly and cute. The trainers were very patient and gave clear instructions.
They have an on-site photographer who took around 5 pictures for us. At the end of the event, you can purchase them at 1800 yen each, which we felt was experience but we bought three anyway. They didn’t give discount for buying more, which some other places do. I would recommend you bring an action cam to film the experience. We only had a hand held cam and phone so it was difficult to catch all the moments.
Overall, big thumbs up.

当日比較的波が荒く、見ることはできましたが、移動時間に比べて、観察できた時間はわずかでした。
体験としては良かったのかな。
やはり自然の体験なので、運もありますね。
晴れの天気で、波も穏やかなら最高でした。

あいにくの小雨日和、ウェットスーツを着ているのですぐに水温には慣れます。それよりもそれよりも、イルカのかわいさがサイコー!
イルカにも個性があって…といろんなことを教えてもらいつつ、イルカに触って、一緒に泳いで、つかまりながら泳いで、目の前で大ジャンプを見られて。
ここでしかできない貴重な体験だと思います。
ちょっとお高いですが、十分に価値ある時間です(^^)
タオル完備で更衣室もしっかりしているので、体験後にすぐ近くの美ら海水族館へ直行してきました。

しかし船内の女性従業員は愛想がなくマイクを装着しているのにもかかわらず使わないから話している声がほとんど聞こえません。
子供には優しくしていますが大人には冷たいです。

This was a very nice experience and will never forget it. Having my kids and I participate and were able to feel the dolphins skin and see who they move in the water was amazing.
We were able to touch and play with the dolphins and the 50 minutes went by so fast that we wanted more. I think we will be back for other Dolphin encounters at Genki Village which is also a nice and friendly environment.

The Dolphin Encounter experience was one that won't be forgetful. This rare time to see dolphins close up was very special for my children and I. My kids are 8 and 6 and they really were amazed with being able to touch the dolphin family. Also having interaction with them by showing our hands and the dolphins doing tricks with what each hand gesture meant. Then we were able to throw rings to see the dolphins return with them no matter how far. These animals are so smart. Finally able to see them do their flips that was a sight to see. It was a very nice time and it let my kids know a more personal understanding of how dolphins are.
Only recommendation would be to give more personal time with the dolphins but I know its hard to do with big groups.

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

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

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!

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.
