We didn't go, but saw from the bike path above. Small enclosures and men yelling to get the dolphins to jump. It's quite sad, though I understand the attraction. I would never attend a place like this. Those animals are too smart to be so enclosed.
I would never visit such a terrible place but I could see the shockingly small enclosures from the hill. These animals should be wild and free in the ocean. Please don't support businesses like this so that no more animals are born in captivity!
Swimming with the dolphins was only ¥9000. Other places in America are well over $200 (¥20,000) so it's definitely worth the experience! Momo-chan was so cute and very nice! Even the dolphins who weren't working at the time were playing and jumping in the air.
Thanks to our kind instructor too. He was patient with my poor Japanese and let me translate to my family. He used a lot of visual ques, so even if you don't speak Japanese you will understand what to do. The other instructors were nice as well. Everyone seems highly trained.
Try not to go on a windy day because the waves might push you down. You can bring cameras and phones, but be careful when taking pictures over the water.
They provide wet suits for you, but bring swimwear for underneath and a towel!
I hope you enjoy Hakata Island!
Isolated dolphin farm beside the beaches and bridge. You can see the dolphins up close. Best time is when the dolphins are being fed (1:30) where they will do a variety of tricks.
