All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

I participated this summer. I thought, "Why would I go to Hawaii just to swim in a pool?" but I was surprised after joining! It was my first experience with such a pool. My first-grade daughter was thrilled and tried the Volcano Express multiple times. The Cliffhanger left me speechless. The speed and water pressure were so intense that I couldn't speak for about five seconds. The surfing attraction, Da Flowrider, was quite challenging. The waves at Hurricane Bay were also impressive and perfect for practicing on a boogie board. I want to participate again!

この夏に参加しました。ハワイに来てまでプールなんて・・・と思っていましたが、参加してみてビックリ！こんなプールは初体験でした。
　ボルケーノエキスプレスでは小学校１年の娘も喜んで何度も挑戦していました。
　クリフハンガーは、絶句。　あまりのスピードと水圧で５秒程度言葉が出ませんでした。
　波乗りアトラクションのダ・フローライダーはかなりむつかしたっかです。
　ハリケーン・ベイの波もかなりなもので、ブギーボードの練習にもってこいです。
　また参加したいです。

Last year, I went with my 5-year-old and mom again.

I definitely recommend the Big Splash Pack.

After changing, first go get a free drink to quench your thirst.

It's a shame that we didn't get to try the FlowRider.

With bodyboarding, the instructor helps you, making it easy to take off.

My 5-year-old also got pushed into the big waves for their first long ride.

There are plenty of slides for small children, so they can play without getting bored.

The attraction called Shaka is especially thrilling to watch.

You should definitely give it a try.

The BBQ lunch was also a hit, so be sure to participate.

昨年に続き５才のちびとママ行ってきました。

だんぜんビックスプラッシュパックがおすすめです。

着替えたらまずは、フりードリンクを取りに行きのどを潤してください。

ダフローライダーは、やっていなかったのが残念。

ボディーボードは、インストラクターが押してくれるのでらくらくテイクオフができます。

５歳のチビも押してもらいうねりの大きいところから人生初のロングライディング。

小さい子供向けの滑り台もたくさんあって飽きないであそべます。

特にシャカというアトラクションは見ていてもすごいスリル。

ぜひお試しを。

お昼のBBQランチも合格点是非参加してみてください。

This time, we came to Hawaii as a family for a wedding. We thought about doing some family activities, so we participated in a tour with Dolphin and You. I was a bit anxious since we had my 4-year-old nephew with us, but he was very happy to ride in a kayak and see dolphins up close, which relieved me!

There were many dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish swimming nearby, and it was very moving. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making it a really enjoyable activity. The BBQ burgers they grilled on the boat were also very delicious. The hula lesson was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Hawaii.

Additionally, they offered to sell a DVD and a photo CD-ROM, and when I got home and looked at the photos, they turned out beautifully, which was truly moving again.

今回は結婚式のために家族でハワイにきました。何か家族でアクティビティーが出来ないかと思い今回ドルフィンアンドユーさんのツアーに参加しました。4歳の甥っ子もいたので少し不安でもありましたが、カヤックに乗せてもらって近くでいるかも見ることが出来とても喜んでいた様子でほっとしました！

近くでイルカや海がめ熱帯魚もたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。またスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでこまめに気を使っていただきとても楽しいアクティビティーとなりました。船の上で焼いてもらったBBQバーガーもとっても美味しかったです。ﾌﾗのレッスンもとても楽しかったです。
ハワイに行かれる方にはかなりおすすめのツアーでした。

あと、DVDと写真のCD-ROMを販売していただけたのですが、家に帰って写真をみてすごくきれいにうつっていてまた改めて感動しました。

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming gracefully in the vast ocean up close, and I was excited beyond my years. Additionally, the hamburger made by the captain was incredibly delicious. I can't forget that taste! (*^^*) On the boat, there was a live ukulele performance, and the staff were friendly and engaging, making it a lot of fun. The relaxing atmosphere was soothing. I also enjoyed hula for the first time, and under the cheerful guidance of the instructor, it was truly delightful.

広い海の中で悠々と泳いでる野生のイルカをまじかで見ることが出来て年甲斐も無く興奮しました。と、共に・・・船長さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。あの味が忘れられません(*^^*)！船上では、生のウクレレ演奏があったり、スタッフさん達が気さくに話しかけてくれたりカメラマンさんとても楽しくって。リラックスの出来る雰囲気に和みました。初めてのフラも、陽気な先生の楽しい指導のもと、すご~くなごみました~。

This time, I signed up for this tour because I wanted to meet dolphins. It was my parents' first trip to Hawaii (their second overseas trip), and my mother was nervous because she couldn't swim, but the staff were very kind and made it enjoyable for us. Their attention to detail was excellent, and both my parents and we had a great time. My father was moved to see dolphins and many colorful fish up close while snorkeling. We were also very happy to see our parents enjoying themselves!!

We had experience diving and swimming with dolphins before, but meeting dolphins is something we can enjoy no matter how many times we do it! The cheeseburgers made by the captain were also very delicious.

今回、イルカに会いたくてこのツアーに申し込みました。両親も始めてのハワイ旅行(海外2回目）で、母は泳げず緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しませてくれ、心配りも最高で、両親も私たちもとても楽しむことができました。父は、イルカやシュノーケルでたくさんのカラフルな魚を近くで見て、感動していました。私たちもそんな両親の姿をみてとてもうれしかったです!!
私たちはダイビングをしたり、イルカとも一緒に泳いだ経験がありましたが、イルカに会うのは何度経験しても楽しめるものでした!!船長さんが作ってくれた、チーズバーガーもとてもおいしかったです。

I visited Adventure World for the first time in Hawaii, a place where kids can play to their heart's content. It felt surprisingly smaller than what I had seen in photos, but there were various pools, and it was fun. The tour price was a great deal, and I was satisfied, but I was concerned about the many dead leaves in the pool.

ハワイで子供たちが存分に遊べるところというところで
初めてアドベンチャーワールドにいきました。
写真でみていたより意外に小さく感じましたが、
いろいろなプールがあって楽しかったです。
ツアー代金もお得で満足でしたが
プール内の枯葉が多かったので気になりました。

I had only moderate expectations for this tour, wondering if I would even get to see dolphins. I apologize for underestimating it!

From the moment we boarded, the staff was energetic, and after a brief prayer for our journey, dolphins appeared almost immediately! My 6-year-old son, who was snorkeling for the first time, dashed down the boat's stairs and jumped into the sea. We saw dolphins spinning on the surface, and underwater, there was a dolphin right in front of us... doing its business?! Before we knew it, our child had paddled far away in a kayak.

The clarity of the water, the proximity and number of dolphins, the variety of fish, and the staff's service (not just energetic but also kind and attentive) were all top-notch!

I participated in a snorkeling tour at a different location on another day, but none of those experiences could compare to this one. The hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious. Even the "hula lesson," which I thought would be just a bonus, turned out to be quite enjoyable. My swimsuit dried nicely too!

It's undeniable that this trip created the most fun memories for our entire family.

イルカに会えるかな~、程度の期待だったこのツアー。
軽くみてました　ゴメンナサイ（#^_^#）

乗船からノリノリのスタッフ、旅立ちの祈りもそこそこに
もうイルカが出現！！
シュノーケリング初体験の6歳の息子まで、船の階段を駆け下りて海に飛び込んでました。
海面では複数でイルカスピン！！海の中では目の前でイルカがウンチ？？
子どもは、いつの間にかカヤックではるか彼方に・・・。

水のキレイさ、イルカとの距離の近さ・数、魚の種類の多さ、スタッフの対応（ノリだけじゃなく、親切でいきとどいてました）
どれをとっても最高ヾ(＠⌒∇⌒＠)ノ

別の日に異なる場所でのシュノーケリングツアーにも参加しましたが、上記のいずれも点数は下がります。
船の上でいただいたハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。
おまけ程度に考えていた「フラレッスン」も、結構楽しめました。水着も乾いたし♪

家族全員が、この旅行で一番楽しかった思い出となったのは間違いありません。

I participated with the company staff. It was quite challenging, but this kind of experience is hard to come by elsewhere. The hamburger was also delicious. I will participate again.

会社のスタッフと参加しました。
なかなかしんどかったですが、
こんな体験、他ではなかなかすることはできません。
ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
また、参加します。

I went on this cruise with a few of my friends, and it was worth every penny. It was one of the best things that we did in Hawaii. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and we found schools of both spinner and bottlenosed dolphins. The crew took the time to share their knowledge of these gorogeous creatures and the captain made sure to stay with them long enough that every single person on the cruise got plenty of great pictures. Then came the snorkleing which was both unique and beatuiful. They fed the fish which allowed all of us to see the beautiful sea life up close and personal. We even saw sea turtle. On the way back the food was fantastic and the ride on the boat was just perfect. I would recommend this to anyway. We went on the 11:30 cruise and i think the dinner cruise would be fantastic as well. Great time, and highly recommeneded.

It was included in the guidebook, and I had signed up for it in case we couldn't play much at the beach, but it was definitely more fun than the beach☆★☆ Unfortunately, my husband ended up drowning in the wave pool (laughs), but it was safe, and the food was delicious, so I definitely want to go again!!

ガイドブックにも載ってて、海であんまり遊べなかった時用に申し込んでたんですが、海より（私たちは）断然面白かった☆★☆主人があいにく波の出るプールで溺れて（笑）しまったんですが、安全で食事もおいしくてまた是非行きたいと思います！！

We went on a family trip to Hawaii for the first time. Unfortunately, my middle daughter had a fever, so my wife and that daughter stayed at the hotel, but I went with my older and younger daughters and a friend. There were many slides, and my daughters were excited, riding various slides over and over again. In Japan, elementary school students are not allowed in large wave pools, which is disappointing, but here, they could play with floaties, and the kids were satisfied. I (the father) tried the shaka, and it was thrilling. The ocean in Hawaii was amazing, but the pool was also a lot of fun!

初めてのハワイへの家族旅行でいってみました。
あいにく、真ん中の娘が熱を出し、妻とその娘は二人ホテルで待機という状況でしたが、上と下の娘と友人と４人でいきました。たくさんのスライダーがあり、娘達は興奮してくり返し何度もいろいろなスライダーに乗っていました。日本では、大きな波のプールには小学生は入れなくて残念がっているのですが、ここでは、浮き輪を浮かべて遊べ、こどもたちも満足でした。わたし（父）はシャカに挑戦しましたが、スリル満点でした。ハワイの海も最高でしたが、プールも楽しかったですよ。

Our family had a great time at this water park and my six year old son was able to go down most of the larger water slides after taking a swimming test.

It has the best wave pool ever. Huge waves! And there were several unique water slides from other parks we have attended.

I felt like for the money it wasn't the best deal because the park closed way too early! It doesn't open until 10:30 and at that time, it is a long line to get a locker for your items, so it was closer to 11am before we started enjoying the park, then shortly after that, we had to break for lunch. Then it closed at 4pm and none of us felt like we had enough time at the park. The lines were not long for waiting at the water slides, but most parks I've been to close around 7pm. This just seemed too early for the price we paid.

If I return to Oahu, I'm not certain we would go to this park again......unless my sons insist! :)

It was so much fun! That's definitely my impression. Swimming with a pod of dolphins is an experience you can't easily have. Since returning to Japan, I've been showing photos to all my friends and recommending it. If you go to Hawaii, you must do this! The Japanese and local staff were all very kind, which was a big plus. It was also a wonderful memory to pray together and dance the hula in Hawaii. Looking at the photos still makes me smile, as everyone in Hawaii is so cheerful. Thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, the travel felt quick and effortless, and even though it was my seventh time on Oahu, it was my first time in West Oahu, which was great. I really understood that Oahu is not just about Waikiki, the North Shore, or Hanauma Bay. The ocean surrounding the island is beautiful from every direction. It was also great to swim with sea turtles, not just dolphins. The water clarity was higher than that of the Red Sea or Caribbean, and there are unique tropical fish in Hawaii, so it never gets boring. You absolutely must participate!

楽しかった！絶対参加すべき！ってのが私の感想です。イルカの群と泳ぐ経験はなかなかできるもんじゃありません~。日本に帰ってから友達みんなに写真を見せてお薦めしています。ハワイに行ったら是非!日本人やローカルのスタッフもみんな親切だったのも二重丸。一緒にハワイのお祈りしたり、フラダンスを踊ったのも素敵な思い出です。ハワイの人ってみんな陽気だな~って写真見ながら今でも顔が笑ってしまいます。スタッフのテンションのお陰で移動もあっと言う間で何とも感じなかったし、オアフ島7回目の私も西オアフは初めてだったのでそこも良かったなあ。オアフ島はワイキキやノースショアやハナウマベイだけじゃないってことがよーく分かりました。四方を囲んでいる海は東西南北どこも素敵ってことでした。それとイルカだけじゃなくて海亀と一緒に泳げたのも良かったです。透明度は紅海かカリブ海よりも高かったし、熱帯魚もハワイの固有魚がいるので飽きません。絶対参加すべし！

I participated in this activity in early July 2008. The Japanese female guide was incredibly kind and friendly, which set a fun mood right from the hotel pickup. All the customers were Japanese. We moved west on Oahu in a van that could accommodate about 25 people. It was a comfortable drive, and before I knew it, we arrived. There was a restroom break before boarding the boat, which was great!

Just about 15 minutes after we set off on the boat, we spotted a pod of dolphins! Following our strong local guide, we went snorkeling. At first, the dolphins didn't come close, but after a while, one jumped right in front of us! They swirled around underwater, and it was incredibly exciting. After swimming with the dolphins, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three sea turtles. There were also many beautiful fish. Once we got out of the water, it was time for a hamburger made with taro bread! The scenery was beautiful, and after seeing the dolphins, tropical fish, and sea turtles, I was in the best mood! It was a fulfilling morning. Even after returning to Waikiki, I was still buzzing from the encounter with the dolphins.

2008年7月上旬に参加してきました。ガイドの日本人女性が凄く親切＆フレンドリーでホテルの迎えの時点で楽しい気分に。お客さんは全員日本人でした。25人ぐらい乗る事のできるバンでオアフ島の西に移動。快適な運転で外の景色を見ていたらあっと言う間に到着しました。ボートに乗る前にトイレ休憩があったのもGOOD!ボートで出発して僅か15分ぐらいでドルフィンの群が！ローカルのたくましいガイドの後についてシュノーケリングをしました。最初は近くに寄ってこなかったけれど、暫くすると目の前でイルカがジャンプ！水中でもグルグル回って、物凄く興奮しました。イルカと一緒に泳いだ後は、シュノーケリングのポイント。ここで海亀が3匹いました。魚も綺麗でたくさんいました。海から上がるとタロイモのパンでできたハンバーガータイム！景色は綺麗だし、ドルフィンや熱帯魚や海亀を見た後だから気分は最高！充実した午前中でした。ワイキキに戻ってからもドルフィンに出会えた余韻が残ったままでしたよ~。

It was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour! Once we boarded the boat, we prayed to the sea to see dolphins. Each person threw a plumeria flower into the water to start the tour! As soon as we spotted dolphins, we dove into the sea and were able to see a pod of dolphins right below us. For those who didn't see them the first time, we were allowed to dive again. After that, we had the freedom to swim at a spot with turtles! We could also go canoeing. During the canoeing, the staff sang songs for us, which was very soothing (o´∀`o). The hula dance instructor also taught us, making it a very fulfilling trip. Thank you very much! ♥

とても楽しく、満足できるツアーでした！
船に乗り込んだら、イルカにあえるように海にお祈りをします。一人ずつプルメリアの花を海に投げてツアーがスタートします！イルカを見つけたらすぐ海に潜り、イルカの群れを真下に見ることができました。一回で見れなかった人のために、二回も潜らせていてだきました。その後も、亀のいるポイントで自由にスイム！また、カヌーもできます。カヌーの最中にスタッフの方が歌を歌ってくれて、とても癒されました(o´∀`o) フラダンスも先生が教えてくださり、とても充実した旅になりました♡ありがとうございました♪

The tour I participated in, filled with excitement and anticipation, was just as I expected. It was my first encounter with wild dolphins. I was so captivated that I tried to mimic their unique sounds, and it felt like a mystical experience. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where I encountered a sea turtle that was incredibly cute and soothing. I also got to ride on a sea kayak and observe tropical fish while snorkeling. Just when I was exhausted from playing and feeling very hungry, the smell of pâté being grilled wafted from the boat, which was just perfect! I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ワクワクドキドキで参加した今回のツアーは期待通りのグレイとなツアーでした。初めての野生のドルフィンとの遭遇。夢中になって姿を覆ったりイルカ特有の鳴き声を真似してみたりｗ何だか神秘的な体験でした。そのあとシュノーケリングのポイントに移動して出会った海亀もとってもかわいくてのほほんと癒されたし、シーカヤックに乗せてもらったりシュノーケリングで熱帯魚を観察したり、遊び疲れてお腹ぺこぺこになったくらいにちょうど船の上からパテを焼く香りが漂ってもう最高！またハワイに行った際にはぜひ参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

In a word, it was a truly, truly enjoyable and satisfying tour. The staff was very friendly and fun, and the Japanese female guide was professional! Her work was trustworthy. This was my second time participating in this tour, and I once again felt that it truly is Alan Wong. I was healed by the dolphins, healed by the turtles, and after having a blast, I filled my stomach with the long-awaited hamburgers, and finally enjoyed the hula, making it a fulfilling tour. Even though it was the same tour, I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

一言でいえば本当に本当に楽しい大満足のツアーでした。スタッフの対応もとてもフレンドリーで楽しかったし、ガイドの日本人女性の方はプロフェッショナル！信頼できる仕事っぷりでした。これでこちらのツアーに参加するのは2度目なのですが、さすがはアランワンだなーともう一度実感したツアーでした。イルカに癒され、カメに癒され、目一杯楽しく遊んだ後は、お待ちかねのハンバーガーでお腹も満たされ、最後にフラに楽しませてもらった充実なツアーでした。同じツアーでもまたハワイに行った際は是非参加したいと思います。この度は素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

I participated with my daughter, and when we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat, I couldn't help but point my camera at them. We also fed fish, and colorful fish gathered around us; it was truly a dream-like experience.

I tend to get seasick easily, so I felt a bit unwell during the trip and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the hamburger. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. Also, don't forget your underwater camera.

During the hula dance lesson, we had a lot of fun laughing together. It was such an enjoyable lesson that it could inspire someone to start hula dancing. With everything packed into half a day, I have no complaints.

娘と二人で参加したのですが、イルカの群れを船上から発見したときは思わずカメラを向けてしまいました。他にも魚にパンをあげて色とりどりの魚が寄ってきたり、本当に夢のような時間でした。
私は船酔いがしやすいので、途中ちょっと具合が悪くなってしまったので、せっかくのハンバーガーを食べれなかったのが残念です。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めは必須です。あと、水中カメラをお忘れなく。
フラダンスのレッスンでは、笑いを交えながら皆で楽しく受けることができました。フラダンスを始めるきっかけになるような、そんな楽しいレッスンでした。
半日でこれだけ盛り込まれていれば文句はないです。

I encountered wild dolphins for the first time on this tour. Although I missed them the first time, I was able to see them successfully at the next spot. Additionally, at the following point, I was able to see sea turtles as well, so overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.

However, I felt that putting on the snorkeling gear and swimming multiple times was a bit physically demanding.

The hamburgers and mangoes we had on the boat were perfect for my tired body.

I think the final hula dance lesson, taught by a local instructor, was a wonderful time filled with laughter.

このツアーで初めて野生のイルカと出会いました。一度目は失敗してしまいましたが、次のポイントで無事見ることができました。また、その次のポイントでは海ガメも見ることができたのでツアー全体としてはとても満足でした。
しかし、何度もシュノーケリングを装着したり、泳いだりするのは体力的にもちょっと大変だった気もします。
船上で食べるハンバーガーとマンゴーは疲れた身体に最適でした。
最後のフラダンスのレッスンは、現地の先生に教えてもらうことができ、笑いのたえないとても素敵な時間を過ごすことができてよかったと思います。

I participated in Big Splash with my son, who is in the third year of junior high, and my daughter, who is in the sixth grade. In Japan, I mostly just watched, but since we were in Hawaii, I fully challenged myself to various slides with the kids. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have to wait in line.

Lunch at Big Splash was buffet style, and after we finished eating, we had a private lesson on bodyboarding. It was my first time, and I struggled to catch the waves, but there was a staff member in the center who helped me ride the waves skillfully. It felt amazing to glide over the waves. I tried several times, but it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't ride without asking for help from the staff member.

There were also many thrilling attractions, but I decided to skip them after just hearing the screams, haha. I had a great time playing with my kids. The time flew by until we had to leave!

　中３の息子と小６の娘と三人でビッグスプラッシュに参加しました。
　日本では私はほとんど見てるだけでしたが、ハワイということもあり、子どもたちと一緒に思いっきりいろんなスライダーにチャレンジしました。人もさほど多くなく、並ばなくても大丈夫でした。
ビッグスプラッシュの昼食はビュッフェスタイルで、食事が終わったら貸切でボディーボードを教えてもらいました。初めてだったし、なかなか波に乗れなかったけど、中央に係りのおじさんがいて、上手に波の上に乗せてくれました。波の上をす~っと走るような感じで快感でした。何度もチャレンジしましたが、やっぱりおじさんにお願いしないと乗れなかったのが残念＾＾；；
　他にも絶叫系のアトラクションがたくさんありましたが、悲鳴を聞いているだけで、やめましたｗ
　子どもと一緒に遊べて楽しかったです。迎えの時間まであっという間でした♪

I apologize for the delay in my post. In March, my husband, my daughter (who is 8 years old), and I participated in the snorkeling activity. It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!

ずいぶんおくれての書き込みで失礼致します　３月に主人　私　娘８歳の３人で参加させていただきました　シュノーケルは私と娘は初めてでしたので　慣れるまでは少し怖かったのですが　なかなか前に進めない私たちを後ろから押して泳いでくださり　いいポイントまで連れて行ってくださったり　船の上でも子供にもとても親切にしていただき　スタッフの皆さんの優しい心遣いがとてもうれしかったです　イルカがとても近くを泳いでいるときに娘に気をとられていて　あわててもぐり　イルカの群れを見れました　主人はとても近くで見れたと大喜びしていました　小さな魚や海亀のたまごも見ることができました　そして　鯨の時期でもあったので　鯨がゆうゆうと泳ぐ姿　鯨ジャンプまで見れ興奮しました　またハワイに行った際には　是非参加させていただきたいと思っています　ありがとうございました　　

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!

I participated in a deluxe cruise on April 20, 2008.

There were about 40 passengers in total, and we were the only three Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, but there was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.

The cabin has about 30 seats, but many people were enjoying the view from the deck. There are two restrooms available.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and two of my companions got seasick. It seems that standing and looking at the distant scenery is less likely to cause nausea than sitting down. I was completely fine, though.

We mostly saw dolphins swimming in the distance, but some dolphins came close to the boat, which was very exciting when we saw them up close. However, it seemed to be a sleepy time for them, so it was disappointing that we didn't get to see any jumps or spins. For dolphin watching, an early morning cruise might be better.

Regarding snorkeling, I have experienced clearer waters before, so I wasn't particularly impressed, but I did see a turtle, and I enjoyed it to some extent. Depending on the season, it might feel a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard. It also helps prevent sunburn.

The lunch was delicious, but the boat was rocking, so I was focused on eating without dropping anything from my plate.

I think the encounter rate with dolphins and turtles and the degree of the boat's sway depend on timing. All the staff were kind, fun, and very good. However, since it's an activity with many foreigners, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are not comfortable in that kind of atmosphere.

2008年4月20日のデラックスクルーズに参加。

総勢40名程度の乗客で、日本人は我々三名のみ。基本的に説明は英語ですが、日本語の堪能なスタッフがケアしてくださるので、特に不都合は感じませんでした。

キャビンは30席程度の座席がありますが、デッキで外を眺めている人が多かったです。トイレは2箇所あります。

ボートはかなり揺れるので、同行者二名は船酔いになってしまいました。座っているよりも、立って遠くの景色を眺めている方が酔いにくいようです。私は全く平気でしたが。

お目当てのイルカは遠方を泳ぐ姿を見るという感じだったのですが、中には船の近くまで寄って来るイルカもいて、間近で見たときはとても興奮しました。しかしながら、眠い時間帯だったようで、ジャンプやスピンが見られなかったのは残念です。イルカウォッチングに関しては早起きクルーズの方が良いかもしれません。

シュノーケリングに関しては、もっと透明度の高い海での経験があるので、さほどの感激はありませんでしたが、ウミガメも一匹見られましたし、それなりに楽しめました。季節によっては若干寒く感じることもあるかと思いますので、ラッシュガードの着用をおすすめします。日焼け防止にもなりますし。

ランチは美味しかったのですが、なにせ船が揺れるので、皿から落ちないように食べることに必死でした。

イルカやウミガメとの遭遇率や船の揺れ具合はタイミングによると思います。スタッフは全員親切で楽しくて非常に良かったです。ただし外国人の多いアクティビティなので、そういう雰囲気が苦手な人にはおすすめしません。

This tour, starting with a kind morning call at 5 AM from the hotel, is truly fulfilling and highly recommended! You can see a pod of dolphins within a meter, and afterwards, encounter giant sea turtles and tropical fish! The cheeseburgers made by the captain on the boat are exquisite, and you can even enjoy kayak surfing. Finally, you can experience hula at a park near the harbor. It's a parade of activities that can only be done in Hawaii! Additionally, there is a photographer accompanying the tour, and if you request, they will edit the photos taken during the tour into a DVD and deliver it the next day! This way, the wonderful experiences of the day can be kept as souvenirs! Not only is the tour itself interesting, but the magnificent views of Hawaii's emerald green sea from the catamaran yacht are also remarkable! I absolutely recommend this tour! It may seem a bit pricey, but given the content, it's worth it! I truly had a great time! Thank you, staff!!!

朝5時の宿泊ホテルへの親切なモーニングコールからはじまるこのツアー、ほんとに充実していて、お勧め度満点です！！
イルカの群れを１ｍ以内で見ることができ、そのあとは巨大海亀や熱帯魚と遭遇！　船の上で船長さんが作ってくれるチーズバーガーも絶品だし、カヤックサーフィンまで楽しめ、最後は港の近くの公園でフラの体験までできます。まさにハワイでしかできないことのオンパレード！　また、このツアーにはカメラマンさんも同行していて、自分たちのツアーの様子を撮った写真を申し込むとＤＶＤで編集して翌日には渡してくれます！　これでこの日のすばらしい経験が、お土産品として残ります！　ツアー自体の面白さもさることながら、カタマランヨットから見るハワイのエメラルドグリーンの海をはじめとする雄大な景色も乙なものです！　絶対お勧めのツアーです！　少し代金が高い気もするかもしれませんが、この内容なら納得です！！
本当に楽しかったです！スタッフの皆さん、マハロ！！！

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, and it's a family tradition to come here. Since handling money can be a hassle, we choose the full package course. After experiencing bodyboarding here, my kids have become huge fans of it. This time, we revisited the sensations here before later having the real experience at Kailua Beach, where we usually go. Both adults and kids can have a lot of fun here. You might not be able to laugh and have such a good time at a pool in Japan? The international vibe really helps to open up the spirit. The barbecue lunch this time was well-received by the kids. To be honest, it wasn't good in the past, but it was delicious this time. If the budget allows, I think the full package course is really convenient. This pool is definitely an activity we can't miss next summer.

ハワイはもう五回目ですが、必ず行くのが家族の決まりです。お金持つのが面倒なので、フルセットのコースを選択します。子供は、ここでボディーボード体験してから、ボディーボード大好きっ子になりました。今回も、やっぱりここでまず感覚を思い出し、後日、いつも行っているカイルアビーチで本番体験してました。大人も子供も、ここでいっぱい楽しめます。日本のプールじゃここまで笑ってワイワイ騒げないかも？インターナショナルな感じがやっぱり気持ちを開放的にさせるんですね。今回のバーベキューランチは子供たち
に好評でした。ハッキリ言って今まではＮＯ ＧＯＯＤでしたけど、おいしかったですよ。もしも予算が許すならば、全部セットのコースの方が、本当に楽ちんだと思います。来年の夏もこのプールは絶対に外せないアクティビティです。

The thrilling slides and the excitement of the wave pool had the kids overjoyed. There are also pools that smaller children can enjoy. The bead ice was incredibly delicious. When the sun went down, it got a bit chilly, and while you could warm up in the jacuzzi, it was for ages 21 and over, so the kids were shivering.

スリル満点のスライダーの数々、波のプールの迫力に子供達は大喜びでした。小さい子供も十分楽しめるプールもあります。ビーズアイス（？）がめっちゃおいしかった。日がかげると肌寒くジャグジーであったまれるが、21歳以上利用のため子供は入れずふるえていた。

It was an early morning departure from a still chilly start, but when we reached the point, we were able to see an unexpected pod of dolphins even from the boat. There were mother and baby dolphins, and dolphins jumping out of the water.

Due to the sea conditions that day, we ended up sitting on the ladder of the boat and peering into the water for dolphin watching, but we were able to see the dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close, which was truly moving.

After moving to a calm spot, we enjoyed plenty of snorkeling and encountered colorful fish and sea turtles. We also had fun playing with the kayak we brought on board, and the hamburgers and pineapples we ate on the boat were delicious!

The staff were all fun and considerate, keeping the participants engaged! I entrusted the camera to a local staff member for underwater dolphin photos, and we got a lot of great shots (laughs).

Finally, we even had a hula lesson, making it a wonderful experience. Despite being such a packed tour, it ended in half a day, allowing us to spend a meaningful day.

まだ肌寒い早朝からのの出航でしたが、ポイントに着くと、思いがけないほどのイルカの群れが船の上からでも確認できました。親子イルカや、海上にジャンプするイルカ・・。
この日は海のコンディションにより、船にかけたハシゴに腰掛け、水のなかに顔をつっこんでのドルフィンウォッチングとなりましたが、船と併走して泳ぐイルカ達の様子を、本当に間近で見ることができ、感動です。　
また、穏やかな場所に移動してから、たっぷりシュノーケリングもして、色とりどりの魚や海がめにも出会えました。他にも、船に積んできたカヤックで遊んだり、船上で食べたハンバーガーやパイナップルも美味しかったです☆　
スタッフが全員楽しく、気遣いのある方ばかりで、参加者を飽きさせません！
イルカの水中写真は、現地のスタッフの人にカメラを託して撮ってもらったら、いい写真が沢山撮れました（笑）。
最後にフラレッスンまでついて、いい経験になりましたよ。
こんな盛り沢山のツアーなのに半日で終わるので、１日有意義に過ごせました。

Thank you for your help.
My family booked a trip to Big Splash. We were looking forward to this tour even before we went, and it was incredibly fun, living up to our expectations, and our whole family was very satisfied. The park was not as large as we thought, so we were able to see everything within the time we had, and there were thrilling attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan, making it an exciting day. However, it was a bit cold since it was March, which was a bit disappointing.

お世話になりました。
家族でビッグスプラッシュを申し込みました。行く前から楽しみにしていたツアーだったのですが、期待を裏切らないとてもおもしろいもので、家族全員大満足しました。園内は思ったより広くなかったので、時間内にすべて回ることができましたし、日本では考えられないスリル満点のアトラクションもあり、大興奮した一日でした。ただ、3月ということで、ちょっと寒かったのが残念です。

Since I went in March, the water was cold! Even with a wetsuit on, I shivered after being in for a long time. It was great to see a group of nearly 20 dolphins. However, I think it would have been even better if I had brought my own underwater camera.

3月に行ったので水は冷たかったです！ウェットｽｰﾂを着ても長い間入ってると身体がふるえました。
ｲﾙｶにも20匹近くの団体に会えたりしてよかったです。ただ自分で水中カメラを用意していくともっともっとよかったのではと思いました。

I felt that there were a few fewer attractions, but it was nice to spend a relaxing time with my family. There are some thrilling rides, but there were also things that young people could enjoy. 😊

アトラクション的には少し少なかったように思いますが、家族でゆっくりした時間が過ごせたのでよかったです。
絶叫系は多少ありますが、若いヒトでもたのしめるものがありましたよ＾＾
