Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii Water Park Admission Tickets

Its nothing like Universal or Cedar Point!

Reviewed by: Fleecytrese

One ride was not open. The lady that greeted us was awesome and our concierge…gave her a 20 tip …we stayed primarily in the wave pool. Wasn’t really clean but clean enough to get in. Food was okay and the rides were very short.. lots of walking up steps to get to them. You had to carry the tubes up the steps which were very heavy cause I guess we’re weaklings . A residence…young teen carried it up like a champ. Was fun nonetheless but spent so much on that waterpark as much as universals studios almost but no where close to as many rides at all!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Wife’s 50th Birthday

Reviewed by: Popaye

Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again

Doors-Off Paradise Helicopter Tour & Landing from Kapolei [Not Operating]

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Gwen H

We had a great time on our helicopter tour! Our pilot was great. The scenery was beautiful! I had never been on a helicopter before and worried a bit about motion sickness, which I have an issue with sometimes. This was an extremely stable feeling ride! And our flight was a doors off flight. Zero problems with motion sickness here! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The pilot was capable and fun! Thanks for a great trip! I would highly recommend.
P.S. The instructions ahead of time say to bring a lanyard for your phone and your glasses, so I ordered both off of amazon. When you arrive, the staff had phone lanyards available and said that the headphones that you wear will hold your glasses/sunglasses on.

Enjoying the wave pool!
- After arriving by bus
It was a bit unsettling to find no one there, but when we went near the entrance, a Japanese staff member was there to assist us. They helped us enter and even guided us to where we could rent lockers.

- Wave pool
My child (11 years old) seemed to have the most fun here. There are also floaties available. There are thrilling rides, but my child ended up crying, so please be cautious. It might be a little scary for kids at first, but once they get used to it, it's no problem! Some of the thrill rides require you to take off your glasses, so those who wear glasses should be careful. I put mine in my pocket.

- Lunch
We added lunch to the tour, but I thought it was a bit insufficient. It might be better to plan on purchasing your own food.

波のプールでエンジョイ！
・バスで到着後
誰もいなくて、ちょっと不安になりますが、入り口付近に行くと、日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃり、一緒に入場してくださり、ロッカーを借りるところまで、お世話をしていただけました。

絶叫系のものありあすが、子どもは泣いてしまったので、注意して下さい。

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

I was able to see whales and dolphins! ⭐︎ クジラとイルカ見れました⭐︎

Reviewed by: RIN RIN

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for a week with my family (my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me). We also participated in a dolphin tour for the first time.

The meeting time was early at 5:30 AM in front of our hotel, but it was manageable if we went to bed early the night before.

I was worried about the weather since it had been changing from rain to sunshine up until the day before, but fortunately, it cleared up, and we were able to set sail.

I tend to get motion sickness and took medication, but I ended up getting sick five times. A few others on the tour also experienced this. I regretted not taking the medication earlier, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.

At the beginning, as we set sail, we all participated in a traditional Hawaiian prayer in Hawaiian, asking for safety on our journey and to encounter dolphins, while throwing plumeria flowers into the sea. At that moment, the sun broke through the cloudy sky, and it felt like we had received permission, creating a magical atmosphere!

A wetsuit is a must! I recommend purchasing one as an option.

When we spotted dolphins, I was feeling unwell and stayed on the boat, but my husband and daughter put on their snorkels and entered the water. Since it was her first time using goggles, our daughter panicked at one point, but a female guide who spoke Japanese and had a license supported her. Although they couldn't swim close to the dolphins on their first try, I could see them from the boat despite feeling sick. My husband said it was his first experience in waters 1,000 meters deep, and although it was scary, he had a lot of fun!

After that, we encountered various marine creatures! We saw a whale spouting water, dolphins, and a baby hammerhead shark...

The tour guide informed us about the creatures we encountered:

- False killer whale
- Spotted dolphin
- Hammerhead shark
- Green sea turtle
- Humpback whale (spouting in the distance)

Afterward, we had a great time snorkeling and playing on the slide in an area with calmer waves.

I would love to participate again for a rematch. Thank you very much!

Even though I felt sick, I was truly able to encounter many marine creatures in the magnificent nature of Oahu, and the staff provided a lot of support. Having a Japanese-speaking guide was really helpful. I am grateful for that.

今回　初めてのハワイで家族（私、主人、娘10歳）1週間滞在。イルカツアーも初めて参加しました。

朝　宿泊ホテル前に集合時間5時半と早いのですが、前日早く寝てれば大丈夫です。

前日まで雨降ったり晴れたりコロコロと天気が変わって心配しましたが、無事晴れて出航できました。

私は乗り物酔いしやすく薬を飲みましたが、リバース5回もしました。他の方も何人かいました。早めに飲み薬を飲めば良かったかな？と後悔しましたが、仕方ない事だと思います。

最初、出航し皆んなで海と自然、旅の安全、イルカに出会えるようにお願いする気持ちで、ハワイの伝統的なお祈りの儀式をハワイ語で言い
プルメリアの花を海に投げました。
そしたら、曇ってた空から太陽が当たって許可された様な気分になり幻想的な空間でした！！

ウエットスーツは必須です！！オプションで購入した方がおすすめです。

イルカを発見し
私は気持ち悪く船の中にいましたが、
主人と娘は、シュノーケルをつけて海に入りました。娘はゴーグルが初めてだった為途中　パニックになってましたが、日本語ガイドしてくれた女性がライセンスを持っていて娘をサポートしてくれました。1回目はイルカの近くで泳げませんでしたが、
私は気持ち悪いけど、船の上からは、イルカが見えました。主人は水深1,000メートルの沖合なんて初めての経験で怖かったけど本当に楽しかった！！と言っておりました。

その後、色々な海洋生物に出会えました！！クジラが潮を吹いてたりイルカ、子供のハンマーヘッドシャーク…

ツアーの方から教えていただいた
出会った生き物：

コビレゴンドウ

マダライルカ

ハンマーヘッドシャーク

アオウミガメ

ザトウクジラ（遠くに潮吹き）

そのあと波の少ない場所でシュノーケルとスライダーでたくさん遊べました。

またリベンジで参加したいと思っております。
ありがとうございました！！

気持ち悪くても本当にオアフ島の雄大な自然の中で沢山の海洋生物と遭遇することが出来、スタッフの方々も色々とサポートしてくれました。日本語ガイドの方もいて本当に助かりました。感謝しております。

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles.

Also, at the end, they gave us a photo as a gift.

It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.

Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.

When we participated, it seemed there were no Japanese speakers, but we were treated kindly, which made us feel at ease.

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Reef Snorkel Tour with Ocean Activities - Iruka Hawaii

Getting in the water with wild dolphins!

Reviewed by: L.S. Yamanaka

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

My morning with Iruka Hawaii's dolphin swim and snorkel was nothing short of absolutely perfect. From start to finish, every moment on the water was just fantastically fun!

The boat was a pleasantly spacious and comfortable, and the crew was incredibly helpful and impressively knowledgeable about dolphins. Their expertise added a whole new layer of appreciation to the experience~

Snorkeling twice was a highlight, and I spotted a bunch of fish and turtles, but the real showstopper was seeing bottlenose dolphins gliding beneath us. It was definitely something I will never forget :)

We also got great views of Hawaiian spinner dolphins from the boat, and I can't describe just how adorable it is when you see them jumping and spinning out of the water. Definitely glad I had my phone camera ready!

Lunch was simple yet delicious, hitting the spot perfectly, and the availability of snacks was a great way to stay fueled for the adventure.

And a massive shoutout for the provided transportation from Waikiki to Waianae since it is almost an hour drive, and I wouldn't have been able to get out there any other way.

Can't wait to go again!!!

Overall, I’m glad I participated. 総合的には参加してよかった

Reviewed by: 梅昆布茶

I was very grateful for the detailed explanations and precautions provided by the Japanese guide for activities that could be life-threatening if one missteps, such as being in the ocean. However, I was strictly lectured about the cultural differences between Hawaii (America) and Japan, mainly regarding the tipping culture and the quality of service.

I am already aware of these differences and do not expect the same level of service as in Japan while abroad. I understand that some participants may not grasp these concepts, but the way it was conveyed felt quite condescending, almost as if the guide was ashamed of Japanese people. I understand the sentiment, but it was uncomfortable. It would have been better to casually say something like, "Please leave your tips here at the end. Feel free to ask if you have any questions," rather than raising one's voice and dragging out the explanation.

Additionally, during the dolphin watching from the boat, when the dolphins were only visible in the distance, the guide said to the Japanese guests (not us), "You've seen them, right? Hurry back to your seats!" which left a bad taste in my mouth. We participated to see the dolphins, after all. Perhaps it was due to concerns about seasickness? Again, I thought the delivery could have been better.

On a positive note, the explanations about the ecology of sea turtles and dolphins, as well as the advice for dolphin swimming, were very helpful and appreciated. Thanks to that, I was able to jump in without hesitation and saw both dolphins and honu.

Regarding the activity plan, I was looking forward to snorkeling, SUP, and water slides besides dolphin swimming, but the time was very short, and we couldn't do SUP, which was disappointing, though I understand it was due to the schedule. It felt like a bonus. If given another opportunity, I plan to participate in these marine activities with dedicated time.

While I have shared many critiques, I want to emphasize that we did not experience seasickness thanks to effective medication, and we were able to encounter dolphins and honu, which was very moving, so I am glad we participated. The staff, aside from the aforementioned issues, were all very friendly, cheerful, and enjoyable to be around. The photographer was also very nice and provided detailed answers about dolphin ecology. We were able to purchase many photos for just $65, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you.

Regarding tips, Japanese participants often wonder how much to give, so I’ll share my thoughts for reference. The Japanese guide mentioned that the usual tip is around 20%, with a minimum of about 10%. When we participated in other activities where we received excellent service, we each gave 25%. For those who provided exceptional service, we also give individual tips separately. For this activity, we tipped about 15% each. We also left about 10% collectively for the shuttle bus.

日本人ガイドは海という一歩間違えると命を落としかねないアクティビティでは細かな説明や注意事項を聞くのにとてもありがたかったです。が・・・
ハワイ(アメリカ)と日本の文化の違いについて厳しく説明されました。
主にチップ文化やサービスのクオリティの違いについてです。

そんなこと承知の上ですし海外にきて日本と同等のサービスなど求めておりません。
参加者の中にそれらを理解されていない方もおられるのかと存じますが、言い方がどうも･･･そんな日本人を恥と思っているような物言いで正直不快でした。気持ちは分かりますが･･･
無知な方がおられるのか知りませんが声を荒げてダラダラと説明する内容ではないですね。サラッとスマートに「チップは終わりにここにちょうだいねー。分からなければ気軽に聞いて」など一言添える程度で良いのでは？

あと、船上からのイルカウォッチングの際、遠くに小さく見える程度で皆さん一生懸命みていてやっと少し近づくと１分もたたないで「もう見たからいいでしょ！早く席に戻って！」と言っていた（私達ではない日本人客に対して）のにも気分が悪くなりました。
私たちはイルカを見るために参加しているのです。
船酔いを心配してでしょうか？やはりここでも言い方が悪いなと思ってしまいました。

しかし、ウミガメやイルカの生態についての説明や、ドルフィンスイムの際に見るためのアドバイス等はとてもためになり良かったです。
お陰様で躊躇なく飛び込むことができましたし、イルカもホヌも見れました。

アクティビティのプランについて
ドルフィンスイム以外のシュノーケルやSUPやウォータースライダーなども楽しみにしていましたが時間がとても短くてSUPまでは出来ずで残念でしたがタイムスケジュール的に仕方ないかなと。オマケみたいなものですね。
また機会があればこれらのマリンアクテビティは別でしっかり時間をとったものに参加しようと思います。

・・とここまで長々と余り良い感想はないですが。
私達は酔い止めも薬もしっかり効き船酔いすることもなく、イルカやホヌにも出会えとても感動しましたので参加して良かったと思っています。
スタッフの方も上記のこと以外はすごくフレンドリーで明るく楽しい方ばかりで良かったです。
カメラマンの方もとても良い方でイルカの生態についても質問すると詳しく教えていただけました。写真もたくさん枚数があるのに65ドルで購入できとても良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございます。


チップについでですが、日本人参加者の方々はどのくらい渡そうかと悩みますので参考までに書いておきます。
その日本人ガイドさんも普通20%位で 〜10%程度とおっしゃっており、私達も他のアクティビティに参加した際、とても良くしていただいたのでその時は25%を夫婦各々で渡しました。また特別お世話になったなと感じた人にはそれとは別で個別に渡すようにしています。今回こちらのアクティビティでは夫婦各自15%程度を。送り迎えのバスには夫婦でまとめて10%程度入れて帰りました。

The staff are dedicated to ensuring everyone has a great time, so you can enjoy the experience safely and happily. With Japanese staff members Miki and Yuya present, there's no need to worry; they make sure you have fun. I was able to meet several types of dolphins and sea turtles, and it was enjoyable once again.

The waves were higher than during my last experience in the summer, and it was windy and cold when we went out to sea, with the water temperature also being low. I wore a rash guard to prevent sunburn, but the wet rash guard got cold in the wind, and I was shivering the whole time. Since you can move around freely during the experience, you might get sunburned, but the scenery is wonderful, and I recommend staying on the second floor to combat seasickness and the cold.

The marine activities were fantastic, especially the slide from the boat! Professional photographer Yuya created bubble rings for us. I’m looking forward to the photos.

I’m grateful for the wonderful staff and scenery.
