Close encounter with dolphins

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.

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!

非常好的親親海豚活動

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

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.

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.

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.

staffs are friendly and spoke good English and gave us some very interesting facts about dolphin. This was my first time touching a real dolphin and it was a very unique experience. my 4 year old daughter enjoyed it very much. you can bring your own phone for photos but just dont drop it in the water.

Such a fun experience! Believe it's geared more towards kids but we had a great time and the instructors were awesome.

English is a bit of a brutal but the instructors truly took the time to ensure we understood everything. They were great!

Would recommend this to anyone!

A joyful experience

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 late… It is an activity which could give a chance for kids to have known more about dolphin.

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.

Super fun with the dolphins!

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… 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.

It was really a memorable experience! The kids really love it and the good thing is that you don’t need to get entirely wet. You can also tell that the dolphins are well treated too! Must go!

The family enjoyed the activity together and there are professional photo-taking which is very helpful. The Veltra offer is a great deal and easy to claim!
We booked the 11am session and it ended at 12noon. There is also a trampoline for the kids to play with.

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.

Wonderful experience!

Customer Service responded questions promptly. This is very good that when we couldn’t ask directly to Genki Village, Veltra helped us to check with them and reply. Thanks very much.

I was reminded of the intelligence of dolphins. The instructor was kind and explained everything clearly. If I have the chance, I would like to experience it again. I highly recommend it.イルカの賢さを改めて感じさせてもらいました。インストラクターさんも親切で、わかりやすく説明してくださいました。機会があれば、また体験したいです。オススメです。

Dolphin Interaction Experience & Banana Boat

Posted Date: 2023/04/23

I had a great time interacting closely with four dolphins. The dolphins were very smooth and incredibly cute. My 6-year-old child was also delighted.

Before interacting with the dolphins, we had a time to learn about their ecology and which areas we should not touch, which was good.

After the interaction experience, we also added an option for a banana boat ride, and I thought it was great because we were shown beautiful coral and other sights.4匹のイルカとすごく近くで触れ合え、とても楽しかったです。
イルカはすごくツルツルしていて、とっても可愛かったです。
6歳の子供も喜んでいました。

イルカと触れ合う前にイルカの生態や触ってはいけないところなども勉強する時間もあり、よかったです。

触れ合い体験の後に、バナナボートもオプションでつけましたが、珊瑚など紹介してもらってすごく綺麗でつけてよかったと思いました。

It was a long-awaited interaction with the dolphins! I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined, and I was able to play with them like the trainers do. I even got to see them jump right in front of me. I was extremely satisfied!!! I already loved dolphins, but now I love them even more! I want to do it again! ♪♪念願のイルカちゃんとの触れ合いでした！
想像してたよりも触れ合いを楽しめ、かつ
飼育員さんのように一緒に遊ぶことができ
目の前でジャンプも見ることができ
大大大満足でした！！！
元々イルカが好きでしたがますます大好きに
なりました！またやりたいです♪♪
