All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

You travel in a group with people from various countries, not just Japanese. At first, it can be intimidating, but the feeling of gliding through the wind is unbeatable. You can do the longest course one last time at the end. It ended just when you wanted to do a little more.

日本人だけじゃなくていろんな国の方々とグループで周ります。最初こそ怖いけど風をきってすすむ心地よさはたまりません。一番長いコースを最後にもう一度できます。もうちょっとやりたいなぁ、ってところで終わりました。

Great people and entertainment. Definitely recommend this show to anyone

There was no BBQ, and the buffet was quite terrible. I would recommend not ordering it. Everything else was satisfactory, but you should definitely avoid the BBQ plan.

BBQ は無く、かなり酷いバイキングでした。
頼まない方がいいかと。
他は満足ですが絶対にBBQプラン頼まない方がいいです。

Initially, I considered taking the city bus without a pickup service, but as of May 2019, there was no bus stop nearby, so I opted for this tour with a pickup service. Since I went on a weekday, the waiting time was relatively short, and I had a great time! It was a bit disappointing that the jacuzzi was closed and that the lazy river wasn't operating that day, possibly due to a shortage of staff.

最初は送迎なしで市バスで行こうか考えましたが、2019年5月時点、近くにバス停がなかったため、送迎付きのこのツアーを利用しました。
平日に行ったので、待ち時間も比較的少なく、楽しめました！
ジャグジーが閉鎖されていたこと、スタッフ数が足りないためか、流れるプール？は、その日実施していなかったのは少し残念でした。

I enjoyed this event very much because of the beautiful view and interesting stories about the stars. At about 8 to 8:30 pm, the sky was getting darker and darker. I was able to many stars in the sky with my naked eyes. However, if your eyesight is not very good, I recommend you bring your glasses or wear contacts. I was able to see the cluster of stars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and more through the telescope. I really liked it, especially because it is such a rare opportunity to observe the stars through telescopes.

Myself & family wasn’t super impressed with activity, not too exciting & too hot/slow, too big of groups to wait in heat. Staff was super nice thou no change with them.

Waking up early was worth it! When we participated, we quickly got to see dolphins, and it seemed like we were close to the snorkeling spot, so we could stay in the water for a long time. We also got to see sea turtles! Since there were a lot of people, I thought some might find it a bit hard to see the dolphins and turtles when everyone gathered around. The staff were all cheerful, and we had a great time (^_^) The ocean was very beautiful too!

There were also slides from the SUP and the boat, and they played the ukulele for us, finishing with a group hula dance, which was a lot of fun. We had a very fulfilling time! For those who are not good at swimming, I think they provide something like a floatation device, so that should be reassuring.

It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to the ocean, so I thought it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers this time! They also prepared snacks, juice, and water!

早起きした甲斐がありました！
私たちが参加した時はイルカにもすぐ会えて、シュノーケリングスポットの近くだったようなので長い間海にいることができました。ウミガメにも会えました！人数が多いのでイルカや亀がいると全員が集まってくるので少し見づらい方も中にはいるかなと思いました。スタッフの皆さんも陽気な方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました(^_^)海もとても綺麗でした！
SUPや船から滑り台もあり、ウクレレも弾いてくれて最後は全員でフラダンス笑。とても充実した時間を過ごすことができました！泳ぐのが苦手な方は浮くことのできる棒のようなものを渡してくれるはずなので安心かなと思います。
ワイキキから海までバスの時間が1時間？位あったので酔い止め飲んでた方が安心だなと思いました。
お昼ご飯は今回はチーズバーガーでした！スナックとジュース、お水も準備してくれてます！

I went snorkeling for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a good swimmer and I was scared of not being able to touch the ground, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I thought I should give it a try at least once. The ocean was so beautiful, and it was a lot of fun swimming while looking at the underwater scenery. I didn't see any dolphins on the first try, and on the second try, I was too tired and just watched from the boat.

For lunch, they give you a hamburger, and you can add tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard while sitting down, so you don't have to worry. The hamburgers and snacks were delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! Many people got seasick, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're worried about that.

初めてシュノーケリングをしました。
実は泳ぐのが苦手で地に足が着かないのも怖くて嫌だったのですが、せっかくハワイに来たので1回くらい…と思って参加しました。
海がとても綺麗で、海の中を見ながら泳げてとても楽しかったです。
1回目ではイルカが見れず、2回目は体力がなくて船の上から見ました(^^;
お昼のハンバーガーは貰ってからトマトやレタス、ケチャップやマスタードをつけてくれるので座ってて大丈夫です。
ハンバーガーもスナックも美味しいし景色も綺麗で最高でした！
船酔いする方が多かったので、心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲むのを強くオススメします。

There were dolphins, and I jumped in. They quickly swam away, and I hoped for a chance to try again, but that was it. I didn't even get lunch on the bus ride back, so I was really hungry.

イルカがいて飛び込みました。
すぐに泳ぎ去り、再チャレンジを期待しましたが、おしまいでした。
ランチが帰りのバスまでもらえなくて、腹ペコでした。

The sea was blue, the mountains were beautiful, and there were many dolphins and sea turtles... It was an incredibly wonderful experience. The staff were all fun people, and I had a great time. Since it was an early morning tour, I had plenty of time in the afternoon, which was very nice. Next, I want to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island.

海が青く、綺麗な山々、たくさんのイルカとウミガメ…
信じられないくらい素敵な体験でした。
スタッフも皆さん楽しい方々で、いい時間を過ごせました。
朝早くからのツアーだったので、昼からもたっぷり時間があり、とても良かったです。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学したいです。

I went with my 8-year-old daughter. We slid down multiple slides from the beginning and conquered everything except for those that were restricted by height. Even though some were a bit scary for adults, she enjoyed it so much that she kept asking to go again, which was a relief. Carrying the float by myself was a bit tough with the stairs, but the fun outweighed that challenge. We didn't add lunch or all-you-can-drink options, and that was the right choice. We played continuously and ended up taking a break just an hour before the meeting time. The portion sizes were large, so a set of chicken and fries along with one drink was enough for both of us. My child was so excited and said she definitely wants to come back when we visit Hawaii again!

8歳の娘と2人で。初めからスライダーを何本も滑り、身長制限でダメだった物以外は制覇しました。大人でもちょっと怖い感じで、嫌がるかと思ったらもう1回もう1回とかなり楽しんでいて安心。私1人で浮輪を運ぶのは階段もあるので少しキツかったですが楽しさの方が勝りました。ランチや飲み放題は付けなかったですが正解です。遊び続けて結局集合の1時間前に休憩し
量も多いのでチキンとポテトのセットとドリンク1つで2人で十分でした。
またハワイに来たら絶対また来たい！と子供も大興奮でした。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone since most people were in pairs, but the crew members were all really nice, and I'm glad I joined. I got to see dolphins and swimming honu (turtles), which really boosted my excitement! I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was quite difficult, but I managed to stand up and paddle (^ -^)v.

The cheeseburger on the boat was delicious, and I was really happy to see hula up close (since I’m learning hula). I was on cloud nine (laughs). I want to participate again! (*^o^*)

大体が2人での参加の中、1人参加で不安でしたが、クルーの皆さんがホンマに良い人ばかりで、参加して良かったです。イルカも泳いでるホヌ(亀)も見れてテンションup⤴︎そして、体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦。結構難しかったですが、何とか立てて漕げました(^-^)v
船上でのチーズバーガーも美味しかったですが、間近でフラを見れて(フラを習ってるので)嬉しかったです。テンションmaxでした(笑)。また参加したいなぁ(*^o^*)

We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but even after the time had passed, the bus didn't arrive... Only to find that the guide was a man silently standing in front of a bus with no tour name displayed. He just stood there without saying anything. We lost about 10 minutes waiting there. I wished he would have at least named the tour or called out our names.

With that vibe, we moved on to pick up other hotels before heading to the location. By the time we arrived, we were about 20 minutes late. That was to be expected.

When you get on the bus, they distribute a floor map. The explanations about the park and the return trip are broadcasted once you're on the bus, and it's in Japanese.

The pool was not crowded, and all the attractions were open. The facility itself was smaller than I expected, and you can easily make one round quickly.

You rent lockers from a machine, but you can only put in a maximum of $7 in cash at a time. So, you can't use a $10 bill. Cards are accepted. I rented a small locker, but it was already packed when I put in two backpacks.

You can ride the slides as many times as you want. Most of the time, you need to carry your own float to the starting point. There are specific floats designated for each slide.

It starts to get a bit crowded in the early afternoon, but even if you have to wait in line, it's usually just about 10 minutes for the floats.

The changing rooms and restrooms were somewhat dirty. I really didn't want to use them if I could avoid it.

The only real disappointment was the pickup service. However, the slides were thrilling, with some intense ones that you can't find in Japan, so I enjoyed that. They also take you back to the hotel afterward.

イリカイホテル前に集合でしたが、時間が過ぎてもバスが来ない…と思いきやなんのツアー名も書かれていないバスの前に黙って立っている男性が引率さんでした。声をかけるでもなくただ黙って立っているだけ。10分くらいはここでロスしています。ツアー名付けるなり名前呼ぶなりして欲しかったです。
その感じでその後のホテルもピックアップしながら現地まで移動。着いた時には20分くらいは遅れていました。当たり前です。
バスに乗る時にフロアマップを配られます。園内の説明や帰りのことはバスに乗ってから放送が流れるので聞くだけです。日本語の放送です。
プールは空いていて全てのアトラクションがオープンしていました。思ったより施設自体が狭くてすぐに1周出来ます。
ロッカーは自動機で借りますが、現金は1回に最大7＄までしか入れられません。なので10＄札とか入れられないです。カードは使えます。小さいロッカー借りましたがリュック2個入れたらもうぎっしりです。
スライダー系は何回でも乗れました。ほとんどが自分で浮き輪をスタート地点に持って行って使う感じです。一応どのスライダーにどの浮き輪と決まっています。
お昼すぎになると少し混み始めますが、並んだとしても浮き輪待ちなので10分くらいでした。
更衣室、トイレはまあまあ汚いです。出来れば使いたくない感じです。
送迎だけがほんとに残念でした。スライダーは日本にはない激しさのものもあるので楽しめました。
帰りもホテルまで送ってくれます。

We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel at 8:55 for our stay at the Grand Waikikian. Since we picked up guests from various hotels, it took over 30 minutes in Waikiki, but after that, we arrived at the location in about 35 minutes. Perhaps because it was a weekday in June, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy the large slide without any wait. Since we had young children with us, there were many attractions they couldn't go on due to height restrictions, but they had a great time in the toddler area and the wave pool. Coin lockers cost between $13 and $18, and a hamburger set inside was about $10, so expenses added up, but we had fun. It's not cheap, so I think kids around fifth grade to middle school age would get their money's worth in playtime.

グランドワイキキアン宿泊で、8:55イリカイホテル前で集合していきました。色々なホテルの方をピックアップしていくので、ワイキキで30分以上時間を取られますが、その後は3５分くらいで現地に着きました。6月平日のためか、空いており大型スライダーも待ち時間なくできました。当方は子連れのため、身長制限でできないものも多かったですが幼児用のスペースや波の出るプールで存分に楽しんでいました。コインロッカーは13ドル〜18ドル、中のハンバーガーセットは10ドルくらいでなにかと出費はかさみますが楽しめました。安くはないので、小学校五年生〜中学生くらいのほうが元を取れるくらい遊べるかなとおもいます。

I went directly from the airport moving from the Big Island to Oahu.
The park is always uncrowded, and you can ride the slides as much as you want.
The basic food isn't that great, so it's better to go early in the morning and return around noon to eat outside.

ハワイ島からオアフ島への移動した空港から直行しました。
園内は常に空いていてスライダーは乗り放題です。
基本料理はそんなおいしくないので、朝一にいって午後一くらいに帰って外でご飯食べたほうがよいです

I wanted to try the slide, and this pool, which is famous on TV, was the only one where Veltra provided transportation from Ko Olina at a discounted rate, so I used it. The facilities were a bit old and had some issues, but I still enjoyed my time there, even if it was short.

スライダーやりたくてテレビでも有名なこのプールへ、ベルトラさんだけが唯一コオリナから送迎をつけてしかも割安であったので、利用しました。施設は、古いのか少し難ありでしたが、短い時間でも楽しめました。

We participated with a 6-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, and an adult. The weather was great, and it went by in no time! Choosing fast food for meals was the right decision. The taste was delicious. Both kids were so into it that it felt like a waste to spend too much time on meals. We definitely want to do it again!

6歳女子、10歳男子と大人で参加。
天候にも恵まれあっという間！飲食はファーストフードで正解でした。味も美味しいです。食事に時間をかけるのは勿体ない位2人ともハマっていてまたリピしたい！！

The weather was great, and the staff were amazing. The participants were all Japanese and seemed a bit reserved, but they really got into the spirit! The water was very clear, and it was a miraculous day where I got to see sea turtles, dolphins, and even seals! The scenery I saw that day is still etched in my mind; it was such a wonderful memory!

お天気も良く、スタッフの皆さんも最高でした。参加者は日本人ばかりで、大人しい様子でしたが、盛り上げてくださりました！
透明度も高く、ウミガメにもイルカにも、そしてアザラシにも会えるという奇跡の日！！
その日に見た景色は
今でも脳裏に焼きついて離れないほど
素敵な思い出です！

The crew was really attentive to the guests, and I thought it was impressive how they managed everything on the ship despite the challenges.

I couldn't see any sea turtles, so I definitely want to see them next time I come.

クルーの皆さんがすごくお客さんの事を見ていて、船の上で大変なのにすごいなと思って見ていました。

ウミガメが見れなかったので、次来た時は是非見たいです。

There are many large slides that you can't experience in Japan, and the children were thrilled and didn't have enough time. I think it's a good idea to reserve a cabana seat for families or during busy times.

日本では体験できないような大掛かりなスライダーが沢山あり、子どもたちは大喜びで時間が足りませんでした。
家族連れや混雑する時はカバナ席を予約しておくといいと思います。

It was on Memorial Day, May 27, 2019 and since my kids were off school, I have decided to take them to Ziplining and I was very happy because Coral Crater Adventure Park were able to accommodate us at a very last minute.

We did the Half Zipline, which has 3 Lines and we all had a wonderful time! The staff are amazing! Matt, Shane, and the other two lovely ladies (I'm so sorry, I'm really bad at remembering names ) but they were all very kind and friendly...and patient too! My son was very talkative and they were all so nice in listening and laughing with him :)

It was truly a unique experience and memorable for us as it was all our first time zip lining! It was so much fun and very safe! My eldest daughter is 14, my middle child is 12, and my son is 7. If you're looking for something to do with your younger kids that's adventurous, fun, and exciting, I would definitely recommend this one!

The staff were friendly and took a lot of photos for us. Since we couldn't see dolphins up close this time, I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. The lunch on the boat was also amazing! We got to see turtles and sharks up close!!!

スタッフのみなさんフレンドリーでたくさん写真も撮ってくださいました。
今回は近くでイルカを見ることができなかったのでまたハワイに行く際はぜひまた参加したいと思います。
船の上で食べるランチも最高でした！
亀やサメを間近で見られました！！！

Swimming with wild dolphins was AMAZING! We struggled to find spinner dolphins early May 15, but Danielle and the entire crew were patient and determined to spot other types of dolphins. We found spotted dolphins, in deeper waters, which are faster but amazing to see in the wild. The crew including Yogi, Tyler, and a couple others helped our ship of 25 or so passengers stay safe and calm in the water knowing exactly what to do as the dolphins and wild life swam all around us. Making sure the swimmers and dolphins stayed safe was at the forefront of our dive. We relocated to another swim spot to see fish and turtles in shallow waters and we got to play on the slide and use paddle boards the crew provided us with. Jade, the photographer/ videographer, was amazing in capturing our time on the boat and in the water. This crew was fantastic and my fiancé and I would recommend this excursion 10/10 as a MUST DO. The feeling iI got seeing this animals in their natural environment, so willing to let us be close to them , is something I will never forget. We purchase the pictures from Dolphins and You and I can’t wait to get home to upload them!

This was my second time on this tour. I participated on April 28, right in the middle of Golden Week. I was originally scheduled to join on the 27th, but there was some trouble with the ship that day, and it couldn’t depart, so I had to join the next day.

The last time I went, two years ago, I participated alone, but this time I was with someone else. During the previous trip, we found dolphins about 20 minutes after departure and spent a long time snorkeling with them and even got to see turtles up close. I was hoping for a similar experience this time!

Maybe the weather wasn’t great? This time, it took a while to find the dolphins, and we searched from the boat for about an hour before the dolphins finally noticed us and came into view! Just as we were all set to snorkel and swim with the dolphins, one of my companions got seasick and panicked a bit since it was their first time snorkeling.

They decided to give up after just 10 minutes in the water. They told me to go ahead and enjoy, but I couldn’t just leave them alone on the boat while I had fun! (As a guy, I felt I had to support the girl properly!)

I felt a bit regretful, but we were able to spot dolphins from the boat, and they even came quite close at one point. Just being able to see the dolphins made my companion happy.

Despite the ups and downs, we ended with some fun commemorative photos, and I realized how enjoyable it is to see dolphins! Even though we were at a distance, they were so cute! I’m already looking forward to planning to join again in two years!

今回で2度目のこのツアー。
ゴールデンウィークの真っ最中の4月28日に参加しました。
本当は27日の参加予定だったのですが、その日の船がトラブル？
で出港不能となり、翌日に改めての参加となったのですけどね。

前回は2年前に一人で参加したのですが、今回は二人での参加。
前回は出港後、20分ほど？でイルカが見つかり長い時間シュノーケルで
イルカを見たり、亀を間近で見れたりもしたのです。
今回もそうなると良いな！と、思いながらの参加です。

少し、天気も良くないってのもあったのかな？
今回はなかなかイルカが見つからず、船の上から探すこと
1時間ぐらい？　ようやくイルカがこちらに気づいて？見つかってくれました！
さっそく、みんなでシュノーケル！でイルカと泳ぐぞ！！って時に・・・
一緒に行った人が、船酔いもしたのと初めてシュノーケルで少しパニくって
しまって＞＜　
海に入ってわずか10分で、断念。連れは私はいいから見てきて！って
言ってくれたのだけど、一人船の上に放置して自分だけ楽しむわけにも
行かないじゃないですか！
（一応、男子としては女子をしっかりとサポートせねば！ｗ）

少し、心残りはありましたが、船の上から一緒にイルカを探しながら
遠めでもイルカは見れましたし、途中船のすぐ近くにも来てくれた。
そんなイルカを見ることができて、それだけでも連れは喜んでくれてました。

なんやかや、すったもんだありましたが、最後は楽しく記念撮影なんかもして
やはり、イルカを見ることって楽しいな！そして遠めだったけど、イルカは
可愛いな！って思いました。
2年後にもう一度、参加するつもりで今から楽しみに計画を練ってますｗ

The pick-up for the bus on the way there was significantly later than the scheduled time, which made me very anxious.
I really enjoyed the pool.
I thought the BBQ lunch plan meant we would be grilling meat outside, but it turned out to be a buffet style.
The taste of the meat was very delicious.
This time, Shaka was also operating, and the kids had a great time.

行きのバスのお迎えが予定のピックアップ時間より大幅に過ぎての迎えだったのでとても不安になりました。
プールは、とても楽しめました。
BBQランチプランと書いてあったので、外でお肉を焼いたりするのかと思っていたら、バイキング形式でした。
お肉の味がとてもおいしかったです。
今回はシャカも運営していて子供もすごく楽しめていました。

I had a great time watching dolphins and playing with a cheerful crew who spoke Japanese. The blue sea of Hawaii, the clear sky, and the wonderful smiles of the crew—please experience it at least once!

陽気な日本語の話せるクルーとわいわい楽しくイルカを見て楽しく遊べました☺ハワイの海青い空イルカの群れクルーの素敵な笑顔一度体験してしてみてください

I was able to see a group of dolphins swimming while sleeping in the ocean.

What was even better was getting to see a sea turtle up close.

海の中で寝ながら泳いでいるイルカの群れを見れました(^^)

それよりも海亀を間近で見れた事が良かったです。

I visit every time I come to Oahu. The attractions change according to my children's growth, so every visit brings new enjoyment and never gets boring. Everything in the park, from lockers to shops to lunch, could be paid for with a credit card, so I didn't need any cash at all.

オアフに来るたびに毎回リピしてます。
子供も成長に合わせて楽しめるアトラクションが変化していて、毎回来ても新しい楽しみが感じられ飽きが来ません。
場内はロッカーから売店、ランチまで全てクレジットガードで済んだので現金は一切不要でした。

I participated with mixed feelings about whether I would encounter dolphins or swim with them, but many dolphins appeared, and I was able to swim nearby. I was also glad to meet a sea turtle.

イルカと遭遇するか、一緒に泳げるか、半信半疑で参加しましたが、多くのイルカが現れ、近くを泳げました。またウミガメにも会えて良かったです。

There are no Japanese instructors, but everyone was kind and taught us patiently using gestures, so I wasn't worried. I read in reviews that the full zip has the same route, but aside from the last part where two people slide together, it was a different route, so I enjoyed it! Since you can't request transportation for the half zip, I recommend the full zip.

日本語のインストラクターはいませんが、みなさんジェスチャーで親切丁寧に教えてくださるので不安はありませんでした。
口コミでフルジップ6本は同じルートと書いてありましたが、最後の2人同時に滑るところ以外は違うルートだったので楽しめました！
ハーフだと送迎が頼めないので、フルジップがおすすめです。
