All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

Seven years ago, I wanted to participate in the Dolphin University, but I gave up on joining the tour because I thought there was no guarantee of seeing them in the wild. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and signed up this time.

Saki-chan, Nana-chan, and all the staff worked very hard to ensure that everyone could encounter dolphins. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, I was able to see both dolphins and turtles. The dolphins were adorable, and I had a long time with the turtles, which was very healing.

The staff's constant energy also lifted my spirits and made it fun. Thank you so much. It became a wonderful memory.

7年前にイルカ大学に参加したいと思ったけど、相手は自然なので見れる保証が無いと思いツアー参加は諦めていました。
しかし、この度思い切って申し込みして良かったです。
参加した全員がイルカと遭遇出来る様に、さきちゃん、ななちゃん、スタッフの皆様はとても一生懸命でした。ありがとうございました。
お陰様でイルカも亀も見れました。
イルカも可愛かったし、亀との時間は長くとれてとても癒されました。
スタッフの皆様がずっと元気なのが、こちらもテンションがあがって楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。
記念になりました。

We had a blast at Coral Crater! We booked the ultimate package that included zipline, tower,and ATV and it was so worth it! The day started off zip-lining. We had zip-lined at a few other places here which I remember being somewhat bored. This wasn't the case here. The lines fly through the tree top and it definitely felt a lot faster than our previous zip tour. No one got stuck on the lines because you go more than fast enough! I wish I was able to post some of the video here! After zip-lining we had a much needed hour break for lunch before the tower activity. It does get very hot as the adventure park is literally built into a crater and is protected from the wind. Taking a break to cool off and drink lots of water was very nice. The tower was a ton of fun, some obstacles were pretty easy while others were fairly challenging. I am not a climber so being up in the air really took me out of my comfort zone which made even the simple obstacles exciting! The safety equipment they use is top notch, high-end gear, so when you do fall you can rest easy knowing that you are safe.There was a 3rd grade boy in the group who was flying through the course, his parents (not old) could barely keep up! So its safe to say this great for kids. The most intimidating part is the "freefall" from 70 ft using the auto-belay device.It looks terrifying but is actually pretty fun. The climbing wall was a lot of fun also. We all got to take as many attempts as we wanted. I made it up to the bell both times I went and was exhausted after that. The final activity was ATVs. These are not normal ATVs, they are custom 800cc v-twin mid-engine off-road machines. I had a blast drifting and sliding the ATV around. I got the ATV almost sideways multiple times and at one point we almost hit 30MPH! This is not a slow, sightseeing ATV ride, so do not expect that. Driving skill will play a role in how exciting this ATV is. If you want to tear up the trail and get dirty, these are the ATVs to do it on!

The day after arriving in Hawaii, we participated in a tour. It was my 4-year-old daughter, my 6-year-old son, my mother in her 60s, my husband, and me, a group of five. We were picked up at 5:30 AM, but thanks to the time difference, we had no trouble joining.

Our tour consisted only of Japanese participants. I wondered if only Japanese people make reservations for this tour. On the bus ride there, the guide provided fun explanations about the tour and information about Waikiki, and before we knew it, we had arrived. My son and daughter caught up on some much-needed sleep on the bus before boarding the boat.

This was my first time in Hawaii in September, and I didn't expect it to be so hot, but the temperature was just right for swimming. However, if you're feeling uncertain, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit. By the way, my mother and my son and daughter rented one. You must wear a life jacket, which also increases buoyancy, so I recommend it for those who are not confident swimmers.

I was disappointed not to meet the dolphin teacher this time, but I was very satisfied to see many turtles and fish. The chance of not meeting the dolphin teacher is only about 10%, so it seems rare. However, since we didn't get to meet, the tour company offered us a nice perk: half off the photo fee or a free participation in the next dolphin school.

It was a conscientious tour, and I would love to participate again.

Thank you so much to all the tour guides. I thought it was a wonderful tour because they genuinely tried to entertain everyone, including couples, older guests, and small children. Thanks to them, the kids had a fantastic time. My son, who was initially reluctant, got used to the ocean and enjoyed himself. He especially loved paddle boarding with my husband.

ハワイ到着の次の日に参加しました。４才の娘、６才の息子、60代の母、旦那と私の５人で参加しました。早朝、５時半にピックアップでしたが時差ボケのため難なく参加出来ました。
私達は、日本人しかいないツアーでした。こちらは日本人しか予約しないのかな？と思います。行きのバスでは、ガイドの方がツアーの説明やワイキキの情報など楽しくお話しして頂きあっという間に到着しました。息子や娘は足りない睡眠をバスで少し補充して、船に乗りました。
９月のハワイは初めてでこんなに暑いとは思ってなかったのですが、海に入るのにちょうど良い温度でした。でも、もし不安な場合はウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかもしれないです。ちなみに母と息子や娘は借りました。ライフジャケットを必ず着けますが、浮力も増すので泳ぎに自信がない方にお勧めです。
今回は、イルカ先生に会えず残念でしたが亀先輩や魚たちにたくさん会えて大満足です。
イルカ先生に会えない確率はわずか10%で珍しいようです。でも会えなかったのでツアー側から、写真代半額や次回イルカ中学に参加無料など嬉しい特典をつけてくれました。
良心的なツアーでまた参加したいです。

ツアーガイドの皆さん本当にありがとうございました。
カップルでも年輩の方も連れてこられた旦那や小さい子でも本気で楽しませようとしてくれて素晴らしいツアーだなと思いました。
おかげで子供たちはすごく楽しめました。最初は嫌がっていた息子も海に慣れて楽しんでいました。特にパドルボードは旦那と二人でずっと乗って楽しんでいました。

I make a reservation every year to play a round first thing in the morning. This year, I was fortunate to have a staff member who spoke Japanese, which was very helpful. I will challenge myself again next year. I love the view of airplanes passing overhead that you can only see here, and my wife mentioned that the restrooms are conveniently located, which she appreciated.

毎年　朝一番でラウンドができるように予約しています
今年は助かったことに　日本語が話せるスタッフが居り　非常に助かりました
また　来年挑戦します　ここならではの上空を飛行機が通過する景色が好きなのと　家内曰く　丁度良いところにトイレがあり　良いと言ってました

The sea was rough from the morning... and there was a possibility of being sent back right after departure.

The waves were indeed a bit high, but we started looking for dolphins right away and spotted one ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
On the way, we encountered a sea turtle!!
It was actually a couple of sea turtles having their time (laughs).
Then we went for the second round of dolphin searching...

And we found them again!!

Moreover, they were in a group, which was an amazing sight ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

I really felt incredibly lucky, and it was so moving ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to participate!!

Honestly, I thought I was being tricked when I joined, but... it was amazing (laughs).

海は、朝から荒れ模様･･･
そのまま戻される可能性もありながらの出港

実際少し波は高かったけど･･･イルカを探し始めて直ぐにイルカ確認( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
に移動中には、ウミガメに遭遇！！
なんとウミガメのカップルタイムでした(笑)
そして2回戦目のイルカ探し･･･

またすぐ発見！！

しかも群れで、居たのですごい光景でしたよ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

ホンマに嘘みたいに運がよく、めちゃくちゃ感動しました( •̀ᴗ•́ )/

ハワイ行ったら是非参加しなくちゃですよ！！

いやホンマに騙されたと思って参加してみたら･･･
すごいよ(笑)

I was truly moved because I never expected to meet so many dolphins! Of course, I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles. I had a great experience, especially with a cheerful photographer accompanying us, which was worth more than the price. I felt the same excitement as when I touched a whale shark in Okinawa. I will definitely go back to meet the dolphins in Hawaii in a few years!

まさか、あんなに沢山のイルカに会えると思っていなかったので本当に感動しました❗
もちろん海亀にも遇えて大変満足しています。なかなか陽気なカメラマンさんとも同行できて値段以上の体験ができました
沖縄でジンベイザメに触った体験以来の感動を得られました
また何年かしたら必ずハワイのイルカに会いに行きます

The weather was great, and it was the best. We arrived at the golf course early, and they allowed us to start earlier, so we were able to play at a relaxed pace.

天気も良く最高でした。早めにゴルフ場に到着しましたが、スタート時間も早くしてもらい、余裕を持ってプレーできました。

I will share my experience from the perspective of an intermediate to advanced level diver who has participated in dolphin swim tours in various locations, holding a dive master certification.

- Good points:
A Japanese guide accompanies the tour. The day is packed with activities such as dolphin swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, hula experiences, a departure ceremony, and group photos, allowing for a lot of fun in just one day.

- Bad points:
The number of participants is too high (around 40 people), which creates a disparity between those who enter the water first and those who enter last, affecting the chances of seeing dolphins. It would likely be more satisfying with a maximum of about 15 people. I couldn't determine how close I could get to the dolphins, and while I was waiting near the pod, I was scolded harshly by the local staff for blocking their path. It seems that the only thing allowed is to float and observe from above, so those wanting to take photos should be cautious.

After coming out of the water, things get quite hectic, and you have to change in the restroom without being able to take a shower. (On diving shop boats in places like Okinawa, it's normal to have showers on board.) The lunch provided is not a bento but rather snacks and a drive-thru from Burger King, which is insufficient. Moreover, since you eat on the bus on the way back, the smell in the vehicle can make it difficult for those prone to motion sickness to eat. There is no dry area on the boat, so bags brought along can get wet. (At the very least, they could have put up a net on the ceiling to address this.) Given that there are many beginners, I think this is quite a significant downside. There were quite a few people who arrived with regular bags that ended up soaking wet.

ダイブマスター保有の、各地のドルフィンスイムツアーを十数回経験している中上級者視点から投稿します。
・良い点
日本語ガイドが同伴
ドルフィンスイム、SUPなどのマリンアクティビティ、フラ体験、出航セレモニー、集合写真など内容てんこ盛りで１日で楽しめる点

・悪い点
一回の人数が多すぎる（40人程度）ので、最初に入水した人と最後に入水した人で、イルカに会える人とそう出ない人が差が出る。（せいぜい15人くらいにした方が満足度が高いはず）
イルカにどこまで近づいていいのかが判断できず、ほかのドルフィンスイムのツアーのつもりで群れの近くまで潜って待機していたら現地スタッフに水上でこっぴどく怒られた。（進路を塞いだと判断された模様）上からぷかぷか眺めるくらいしか許されなそうなので、写真を撮りたい方は要注意。

海から上がった後がかなり慌ただしく、シャワーも浴びられないままトイレで着替えてバスになる必要がある。（沖縄などのダイビングショップの船は船内でシャワー浴びれるのが普通）
ランチがお弁当などではなく、スナックと、バーガーキングのドライブスルーなので少ない。しかも帰りのバスの中で食べるので車内の匂いもあり酔いやすい人は食べていなかった。
船上にドライエリアが用意されていないので、持ってきたバックなどが濡れる。（せめて天井にネットを張って対処するくらいはできるはず）初心者が多いにも関わらず、これはかなりのマイナスポイントと思います。普通のバックできてしまい、バックがびしょびしょになっている方が結構いました。

This was my first time participating, and I had a great time. I would definitely like to do it again if I have the chance. The participation fee might feel a bit high at times, but it was really worth it, and I didn't feel like I wasted any money. If I have the opportunity to go to Honolulu again, I would like to participate.

今回、初めての参加でしたが凄く楽しかったです。また機会があれば是非やりたいです。参加費が少し高く感じれる事もあるかもしれませんが、本当にコストが結構良くて全然お金がもったいなくなりませんでした。またホノルルに行く機会があれば参加したいです。

It was a stroke of luck to see wild dolphins, and not only that, they swam below us. I felt that luck played a big role since it depended on anticipating the direction the dolphins would swim and their speed. I’m glad I participated because they made sure everyone could see them as much as possible.

野生のイルカのため運になりますが、イルカを見れただけでなく下を泳いで行きました。イルカが泳ぐ方向に先回りをし来てくれるのを待つことと、イルカの泳ぐ速度にも依存するため、運も大きいと感じました。できる限りみんなが見れるように考えてくれているので、参加してよかったです。

I was able to create wonderful memories in Hawaii! The weather was sunny on the day, and there were various attractions from intense slides to lazy rivers and wave pools, which made it a lot of fun! This time, I only had a one-day pass and transportation, but I was personally very satisfied. Soft drinks like cola were around five dollars, and food like pizza sets and hamburger sets were about ten dollars. Since the lockers and restaurants are close, I don't think it would be a hassle to go get money to make purchases. If you want to eat and drink without worrying about the price, I think it's better to add the options.

ハワイで楽しい思い出を増やすことが出来ました！
当日は晴れていて、スライダー系の激しいものから流れるプールや波が起きるプールなど色々あって楽しかったです！
今回は1日パスと送迎だけでしたが、個人的には大満足です。
現地ではコーラ等のソフトドリンクが５ドル前後、ピザセットやハンバーガーセット等の食べ物は１０ドルくらいです。
ロッカーと飲食店が近いので、購入するためにお金を取りに行っても苦にならないと思います。
値段を気にせず食べ飲みしたい方は、オプションをつけたほうがいいと思います。

The day after the hurricane, the weather was not great, but there were various slides and attractions, and it was very fun. The day flew by in no time.

It takes about an hour by bus, so don't forget to bring something to wear in the air-conditioned bus!

ハリケーン通過翌日で、お天気はイマイチでしたが、いろんなスライダーやアトラクションがあり、とてもおもしろかったです。1日があっという間に過ぎました。

バスで1時間ほどかかるので、エアコンの利いたバスの中で羽織るものをお忘れなく！

I was so excited to see dolphins right after departing from the harbor! The dolphins came back several times, which was amazing! I also got to see sea turtles, and I was able to see everything properly! It was a shame that it wasn't a boat burger, though... haha. Next, I want to see winter whales! The staff welcomed us with such great energy, so it was fantastic!

ハーバーから出港して直ぐにイルカに会え、物凄く興奮しました！
イルカも何回も戻ってきてくれたので、最高でした！
ウミガメにも会え、全てちゃんと見れました！
船上バーガーじゃなかったのが残念でしたが・・笑
次は冬クジラが見てみたいです！
スタッフの方々も最高のテンションで迎えて頂けたので、最高でした！

Despite my doubts, I thought I wouldn't be able to see dolphins. Honestly, I kept thinking that way until I actually experienced the tour.

On the day of the tour, I managed to wake up my sleepy body at 5 AM and headed to the meeting point, then boarded the bus to our destination. It took about an hour to reach the port where we would board the boat, but before I knew it, we arrived while the guide from Dolphin University was energetically sharing stories about how to enjoy the ocean.

After preparing to board the boat, we set off. The boat, carrying about 40 participants and around 8 staff members (two of whom were Japanese), quickly made its way out to sea. After singing a song dedicated to the ocean during the journey, we put on our goggles and fins, and soon spotted dolphins in the distance. We maneuvered the boat as close as possible, and everyone jumped into the water to start swimming.

Since it was my first time using fins and goggles, I was exhausted after just a little swimming, but I motivated myself by thinking, "There are dolphins nearby!" As I pushed forward, the staff member swimming ahead suddenly stopped. I wondered what was happening when I heard, "Look down!!" I quickly looked through my goggles into the water, and there were 7 or 8 dolphins swimming slowly just a few meters away.

I was so excited that I momentarily struggled to breathe, but I was too captivated to care, my eyes wide open as I watched the dolphins. It was just a few seconds, but that scene is etched in my memory so clearly that I can't imagine forgetting it.

After that, we tried again, but unfortunately, we couldn't have the same experience... While I was feeling down on the boat, the dolphins from earlier approached us and swam alongside the moving boat. There were even smaller dolphins jumping, which was incredibly exciting.

After enjoying our time with the dolphins, we went snorkeling at a spot where sea turtles were said to be, and we hit the jackpot, seeing three sea turtles right in front of us.

Finally, we all shyly danced the Hawaiian dance on the boat, and when we arrived back at the port, it was bittersweet to head home. They dropped me off near my hotel around noon, and I spent the afternoon enjoying Hawaii in that joyful mood.

At first, I was really anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but I had a much more valuable experience than I imagined, and above all, I would love to participate in this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves the ocean, dolphins, and sea turtles.

Definitely experience something you can only do in Hawaii!

なんだかんだ言いつつ、どうせイルカは見れないんだろう。正直、自分は実際にツアーを体験するまで、ずっとそうやって考えていました。
当日、早朝の5時になんとか眠気いっぱいの体を起こして集合場所に向かい、目的地へ向かうバスに乗り込みました。
乗り込む船がある港までは大体1時間ほどですが、ツアーをガイドしてくれるイルカ大学の方が、体験談を交えてどうやって海を楽しむべきかを元気いっぱいに話してくれるうちにいつの間にか着いていました。
港についた後は船に乗り込む準備を終えたら、出港。約40人の参加者と8名ほどのスタッフさん（内二名は日本人の方）を乗せた船はあっという間に港から遠くの沖へ到着します。
移動中に海へ捧げる歌を歌った後、ゴーグルやフィンを装着していると、早速遠くの方にイルカを発見。なるべく近くまで船で行ってから全員が海へ飛び込み、泳いで移動を開始しました。
私はフィンやゴーグルの扱いが初だったため、少し泳いだだけでバテバテでしたが、近くにイルカがいる！と自分を奮い立たせなんとか進んでいると、前を泳いでいたスタッフさんが急停止。何かと思っていたら、「下見て！！」という声が聞こえたので急いで海の中をゴーグルで見ると、そこには7～8匹のイルカがほんの数メートル先をゆっくりと泳いでました。
興奮で息が一瞬少し苦しくなってしまいましたが、そんなことは気にならないくらい目を見開いてイルカを見ていました。
ほんの数秒でしたが、あの光景が脳みそから消えてしまうことなんて考えられないくらい、はっきりと焼き付きました。
その後は再度アタックしましたが残念ながら同じ体験はできず……と船で落ち込んでいたら、先ほどのイルカが移動中の船に近づいてきてくれて一緒に並走。小さめにジャンプするイルカもいて大興奮でした。
イルカとの触れあいを楽しんだ後はウミガメがいるというポイントでシュノーケリングをして、これも大当たりで3匹のウミガメを目の前で見ることができました。
最後は、船の上で恥ずかしがりながらもみんなで楽しくハワイの踊りを踊って、港に着いたら名残惜しくもそのまま帰路へ。12時頃にホテル周辺へ送ってくれたので、午後も私はその楽しい気分のままハワイを満喫しました。
初めは本当に楽しめるのか不安ばかりでしたが、想像以上に貴重な体験ができましたし、何より次回ハワイへ行くとなったらまた参加したいと思えるツアーでした。海が好きで、しかもイルカやウミガメも好きな方ならとてもおススメします。
是非、ハワイでしかできない体験を。

I thought a pool in Hawaii was unnecessary, but the slide is really fun. It's a bit disappointing that it closes early. Time flies so quickly that I wish I could play more, and it's a place I want to visit every time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイでプールなんてと思いましたが、スライダーがとても面白い。閉園が少し早いのが残念です。もっと遊んでいたいと思うほど時間のたつのが早くハワイにいくたびに訪れたいところです。

We were about to miss a zipline experience that cost around 43,000 yen for two people. It was absolutely terrible.

We made a reservation online with pickup included, without going through a travel agency. Considering that in foreign countries, unlike Japan, there’s a possibility that the pickup might not arrive on time, we waited outside the hotel’s main entrance 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. However, when the time passed and no one showed up, I called the tour company, Coral Crater Adventure Park, and they said, “The female driver should be there.”

When I told them that I couldn’t see anyone matching that description around the hotel lobby or outside, they provided me with the car's license plate number and said, “There should be a car with this number.” When I responded that there was no car parked, they told me, “Since the time has passed, you have been canceled.”

Even though I was waiting with plenty of time to spare, there was no effort from the tour company’s driver to call my name or look for me. How was I supposed to find the car in this situation when I didn’t even know which one it was? When I asked why there was no communication, the Coral Crater representative said, “The tour bus couldn’t pick you up, so an Uber was sent for you.” I had no prior notice of this via email, so I had no way of knowing.

If an Uber was coming instead, why didn’t they inform me of the car's number in advance? I asked why they didn’t come to call my name, and they replied dismissively, “That’s how Uber works,” avoiding responsibility and refusing to acknowledge any fault or apologize. It was utterly unacceptable.

- Coral Crater tour company → didn’t provide the Uber number in advance
- Me → didn’t know which car it was
- Uber → doesn’t look for customers
It was ridiculous. There was no way I could find the car.

Furthermore, I had to arrange for a replacement vehicle, and I had to search for that car's number. When I found the car and got in, the driver asked, “Where do you want to go?” Even though it was a tour with pickup included and I had already paid. What? Why don’t you know? It was terrifying.

When I showed the destination I had, the driver said, “This is too far.” I had to call the representative again to have them talk to the driver. I was so furious that I lost all desire to enjoy the zipline experience. In the end, I was able to join the tour about 40 minutes late, but during the ride to Coral Crater Adventure Park, I was filled with anxiety and stress, wondering if I would even be able to participate.

I thought maybe it was because Hawaii gets so many tourists that they don’t care about individual customers. They really underestimate their clients.

I learned that I should book through a Japanese travel agency in the future. I will never use them again.

日本円にして二人で43,000円くらいのジップラインをすっぽかされるところだった。
あまりにもひどい。
旅行会社を通さず送迎つきでネット予約。海外は日本と違って待ち合わせ時間通りに来ない可能性を考え、当日は15分前から指定の待ち合わせ場所であるホテル正面玄関口外で待機していた。しかし時間を過ぎても迎えがこないのでツアー会社のコーラルクレーターアドベンチャーパークに電話すると、
「女性ドライバーが着いているはずだ」と言う。
しかしホテルのフロントや正面玄関口の外を見回してもそのような人はいないと伝えると、
車のナンバープレート番号を伝えられ、「この番号の車がいるはずだ」と言われた。
しかし停車している車はないと伝えると、「時間を過ぎたのであなたはキャンセルになった」と言われた。
余裕を持って待機していたのに、その間ツアー会社のドライバーが私の名前を呼んで探すなどが何もなかった。どの車かわからないのに、この状況でどうやって車を見つけられるのか？
なぜ私に声かけがなかったのか問うと、コーラルクレーター担当者が「ツアーバスが迎えに行けなくなったため、ウーバーがあなたを迎えに行った」と言った。そんなことは事前にメールにも知らせがなく、聞いていないので知る訳もない。
代わりにウーバーがくるのなら、車のナンバーを事前に教えてくれなかったのか、名前を呼んで声をかけにきてくれないとどの車なのかわからない問うと、「ウーバーはそういうものだ。」と面倒そうに答え、責任逃れ。そして、非を認めたり謝ったりしない。話にならない。

・ツアー会社のコーラルクレーター
→迎えのウーバーの番号を事前に教えない
・私→どの車かわからない
・ウーバー→客を探さない
ひどすぎる。見つけられるわけないじゃん。

さらに代わりの車を出してもらうことになり、その車のナンバーを探すことになった。その車を見つけ乗車すると、ドライバーが「どこに行きたいの？」と。送迎付きツアーで、すでに支払い済みなのに。え？なんで知らないの？怖すぎる。
持っていた行き先を見せると「ここは遠すぎる」と言ってくる始末。また担当者に電話してドライバーと話してもらった。
もうぶちギレてしまって、これからジップラインで遊ぶような気分ではなくなってしまった。結局ツアーには40分ほど遅れて参加できることになったが、コーラルクレーターアドベンチャーパークに向かっている間も本当に参加できるのか不安とストレス一杯の最悪な体験だった。
ハワイはたくさん観光客が来るからなのか、客一組くらいどうでもいいんだろうなと思った。客をなめている。

今後は日本の旅行会社を通して予約するべきだと、勉強になった。二度と利用しない。

I enjoyed all the attractions! I played for the entire time and felt satisfied! The food was below my expectations. There were only a few options like fruit, salad, potatoes, meat, and something that resembled yakisoba. It was quite limited. I was a bit disappointed to see dead bugs and dead leaves floating in the pool water. The park itself felt a bit run down, but I had fun, so it was okay.

アトラクションはどれも楽しめました！
時間いっぱい遊んで、満足です！
ごはんは想像はしていましたが、それ以下でした。フルーツ、サラダ、ポテト、肉、焼きそば？みたいな物しかなく、種類は、少ないです。
プールの水の中に虫の死骸や枯葉が沢山浮かんでて気持ち悪かったのが少し残念です。
パーク自体は廃れた感じがありましたが、楽しめたのでよかったです

I was worried because it was early in the morning and the weather wasn't great, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory thanks to our energetic guide. However, the departure of the boat was significantly delayed, and we had to make an unexpected stop at a nearby tourist spot, so I wondered if we could have had more time to enjoy the sea if the boarding time had been longer. Overall, I was satisfied.

早朝から、しかも天気も良くなくて心配でしたが、元気なガイドさんのもといい思い出となりました。ただ、船の出船が大幅に遅れて、急遽港近くの観光地に立ち寄るなどがあったので、もっと乗船時間が長ければもっと海で遊べる時間があったのでは？ということもありましたが、全体的には満足です。

This tour is more of a picnic on a boat off the coast of Oahu rather than a dolphin-watching tour, so in that sense, it offers entertainment and could be enjoyable for those who are not used to being on the water. If you go in with the mindset that seeing dolphins would be a lucky bonus, you won't be disappointed. It was completely different from the dolphin tours on the Big Island. The staff followed the company's concept of providing entertainment, but at times their individuality came through, which I found a bit immature.

イルカを見るツアーというよりはオアフ島沖を船でピクニックするツアーで、そういう意味ではエンターテイメントもあり海に慣れていない人にとっては楽しいのではないでしょうか。
イルカは見れたらラッキーくらいのつもりでないとがっかりします。
ハワイ島のイルカツアーとは全く別物でした。
スタッフは楽しませようという会社のコンセプトにのっとってそれなりに業務されていましたが所々に個が出ていて幼稚だなぁと思いました。

There is a bag check at the entrance. All drinks, including plastic bottles and snacks, are confiscated at the entrance. It seems like they want to make you buy food and drinks inside the facility, as the bag check is very thorough.

There are large and small coin lockers, but even the large ones were completely full with just two people's belongings (change of clothes, towels, etc.).

Regarding the pool, the lazy river and several attractions were not operational, which was a bit disappointing. However, we still had a lot of fun with the attractions that were running.

The BBQ lunch was extremely disappointing, as many others have mentioned. I went in without high expectations after reading reviews, but it was still disappointing. The all-you-can-drink soft drinks only included juice, with no tea or other options. Additionally, drinks were only available at the shop located in the middle of the facility.

If I have the chance to go again, I think I would only purchase the admission ticket.

入り口で持ち物チェックがあります。
ペットボトル等のドリンク、お菓子などは全て入り口で没収。施設内で飲み物や食べ物を買わせるという魂胆でしょうか、持ち物チェックはとても徹底しています。

コインロッカーは、大と小がありましたが、大でも2人分の荷物(着替え、タオル等)だけでいっぱいいっぱいでした。

プールに関しては、流れるプール、アトラクションも何種類か動いておらずちょっとガッカリ。
でも、動いているアトラクションだけでも十分楽しめました。

ランチのBBQは、皆さんが載せている通りガッカリ度がハンパないです。
口コミを見ていたので、そこまでの期待はせずに行きましたが、それでもガッカリしました。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題もお茶などはなく、ジュースのみ。そして飲み物は、施設真ん中あたりにある売店にしか置いていません。

もし今度行く機会があったら、100%入場券のみで行くと思います。

The number of participants exceeded 40, which caused delays in various activities. With so many people in front, even if dolphins are nearby, only those at the front can see them. Getting on and off the boat also takes time. The staff are cheerful and entertaining, but... I have participated in marine activities in various countries, and this is the first time I've encountered such a large number of participants. I believe that unless the number of participants is reduced to less than half, I won't be satisfied.

参加人数が40名を超えていて、色々な事に時間がかかります。
人が前に沢山居るので、イルカが近くにいても前の方を泳いでいる人にしかイルカが見えないことも。
船の乗り降りにも時間がかかります。
スタッフの皆さんは明るくて楽しませてくれますが、、、
色々な国で海のアクティビティに参加していますが、こんなに参加人数が多いのは初めて。
参加人数を半数以下にしなければ満足出来ないと思います。

Greg was such a great guide, he knew a lot about the stars and different myths relating to them. He pointed out constellations and heavenly bodies throughout the night and told us about how stars played a role in Hawaiian, Asian, and European societies. You can see so many stars out there compared to the city, and the high-tech telescope got us some amazingly close views of Saturn and a nebula. This is an awe-inspiring experience!

You can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. It's truly moving to see them up close. Be sure to bring an underwater camera. If you ask the guide, they can help you get nice shots of the dolphins and sea turtles. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to prevent it. Feeling unwell can really diminish the enjoyment!

イルカやウミガメに出会えます。近距離で見えると感動します。ぜひ水中カメラを用意していきましょう。ガイドさんにお願いすれば、イルカやウミガメをナイスショットしてもらえます。あと船に酔いやすい方は、酔い止めなど飲んで船酔い対策して行く方が良いと思います。気持ち悪くなると楽しみも半減しますので！

Every year when I go to Hawaii, I always visit Wet 'n' Wild. This year, I felt that the Shaka ride has become a single-person ride, which took away some of the thrill. Also, there were fewer boats, and the lines were long, making it impossible to ride some attractions. I would like to see improvements in those areas.

毎年ハワイに行くと必ずウエット、アンド、ワイルドに行きます。
今年はシャカが一人乗りになって、少しスリルが無くなったように思います。
あと、ボートの数が少なくハケが悪く長蛇の列て、乗れないものもありました。
その辺の改良をお願いしたいと思いました。

There is a food court in the park, but there is a long line, and the service is slow. Therefore, even with an all-you-can-drink plan, you still have to wait in that long line. I would like a separate window for those with the all-you-can-drink plan. This time, I could only have two drinks.

園内にフードコートがありますが、長蛇の列で、ハケが悪いです。
そのため、飲み放題にしても、その長蛇の列に並ばないとなりません。
飲み放題プランの人は、別の窓口を作ってもらいたいと思います。
今回も2杯しか飲めませんでした。

I thought it would be mostly for families with children, but there were quite a few intense activities that two adults could fully enjoy. The food is a bit pricey, but buying drinks at the concession stand can save you some money. You can also bring unopened water. Everything else is really collected (drinks from Starbucks and snacks were actually taken at the entrance). It was great that we could freely access the lockers. When I got off the bus at the wrong stop, they kindly took me back near the hotel afterward, which was a lifesaver.

お子さん連ればかりかと思っていましたが
アクティビティ自体も割と激しめのものもあって、大人2人で全力で楽しめました。
フードは少し高めですが、売店でドリンクを買えば少しはお得になります。未開封のお水持参も可能です。それ以外は本当に回収されます(スタバのドリンクやおやつなどは入園時に本当に回収されていました)。ロッカーの出し入れが自由にできるのが良かったです。
バスを降りる場所を間違えた際には、あとでホテル近くまで送ってくださって、救われました。

I used this for my honeymoon trip.

The area was smaller than I expected, and there were fewer attractions.

You can play from around 11 AM to 3 PM, but we finished playing by around 2 PM (maybe because there were hardly any wait times).

There are few free beach chairs available, so I recommend securing one early in the morning.

Also, it was windy and cold. I think it's better to have long sleeves. Don't forget a towel, either.

If asked whether I would use it again, I would say no, but I think it's good for families with children as they would enjoy it.

新婚旅行で利用しました。

思ったより敷地面積が小さく、アトラクションが少なかったです。

11時くらいから15時まで遊べますが14時くらいにはだいたい遊び終わりました（待ち時間がほとんどなかったからかも知れませんが）。

無料で使えるビーチチェアが少ないので朝一で確保されることをオススメします。

あと、風が強く寒かったです。長袖があった方がいいと思います。あとタオルも忘れずに。

もう一度使うかと言われたら使いませんが、お子さん連れはお子さんが楽しめると思うのでよいと思います。

The pickup car didn't arrive even after 15 minutes, and I couldn't get through on the phone. It finally came after 25 minutes, which made me quite anxious. The roller coasters all have long lines, and in the meantime, I got sunburned. There are two lines for the BBQ lunch; one is for JTB exclusive, so everyone else lines up in the other one. They have yakisoba and barley tea for Japanese guests, but overall, the food isn't that delicious. It's just enough to fill your stomach. The return bus took a long time to arrive, and a local staff member helped us out. I probably won't go again.

迎えの車が15分たってもこなくて、電話してもつながらず、25分後やっときました。さすがにあせりました。絶叫マシンはどれも並びます。その間に日焼けします。BBQランチは2列あり、1列はJTB専用レーンのため、もう1列にみんな並び混みます。日本人向けに焼きそばや麦茶がありますが、全体的にそんなに美味しいものじゃなく。お腹を満たす程度です。帰りのバスがなかなかこなくて、現地のスタッフさんが送ってくれました。たぶん、もういかないかな。

I finally visited Wet & Wild, which I've been wanting to go to for a long time. The attractions were enjoyable even for adults. The lunch buffet was delicious as well.

かねてから念願の　ｗｅｔ＆ｗｉｌｄ　行ってきました。
アトラクションは大人でも十分楽しめる内容でした。
ランチブッフェもおいしかったです。

I went at the end of August with my wife and our three children (ages 7, 10, and 13).

The pool has a wave pool, a shallow play pool for toddlers, and about five different slides. You can also use boogie boards. My kids seemed to really enjoy the wave pool and the slides.

With this plan, one child can enter for free, but even so, 30,000 yen is generally not reasonable. Considering the value, it's expensive. The facilities themselves are not very new, and the scale is smaller than expected.

The slides are quite fun even for an adult like me. I particularly recommend the Tornado. However, to use the slides, you have to walk barefoot up concrete stairs, which can be a bit hot on your feet (you walk up to a slightly elevated area by yourself).

The shuttle bus arrived a little after 10:30, and while wandering around the somewhat confusing park, we put our belongings in a paid locker and left our bags and towels on a summer bed (a chair-like seat that reclines) next to the wave pool. We then headed to the various pools and slides, starting around 11:00.

Around 1:00 PM, we got hungry, so we lined up at the fast food counter (about 10 groups in line) and bought a $9.99 lunch set (hamburger, chicken + fries, drinks separate; there are other menu items available, including beer). We quickly ate and then headed back to the slides, and before we knew it, it was already closing time at 3:00 PM. Well, there weren't many attractions, and we didn't have to wait much, so it felt just right.

The staff in the park are very kind and cheerful. They are serious about their work.

For those staying at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club (which we were), be careful as the pickup location for the shuttle bus is unclear. Even asking the hotel staff doesn't provide much clarity.

The actual pickup location for the bus is not at the front entrance of the Marriott but down the slope outside the front entrance, at the entrance of the Marriott property on the street where cars come in. A WET & WILD minibus (more like a large HiAce) comes there. We waited at the front entrance thinking that was the pickup point, but when it didn't arrive, we checked and found it was at the lower road. We almost missed it and had to wait for the next bus.

There is a prior email with information about the meeting place, but the map (Google Maps) shows the meeting place near the front entrance, which is quite misleading. If you are fluent in English, it’s a good idea to directly ask the local operator or have someone at the Marriott Japanese desk call the operator for clarification on the meeting point or any uncertainties.

Overall, it was a fun experience, and I enjoyed spending time with my kids.

Take care.

8月末に行ってきました。私と妻と子供が3人です（子供は7歳、10歳、13歳）

プールは波の出るプールや、幼児用の浅い遊べるプールや、5種類ぐらいかなスライダーがあります。ブギーボード？もできますよ。うちの子は波のプールやスライダーが気に入ったようです。

このプランを使うと一人分子供がタダですがそれでも3万円は普通ないですね。価値から考えると高い。施設自体もあまり新しくありませんし、規模も期待より小さいです。

スライダー自体は大人の私も結構楽しいです。特にトルネードがおすすめですね。ただ、園内はスライダーをやるためにはコンクリートの階段をはだしで上までかねばならず足が少々熱い。（小高いところまで自力で歩きます）

送迎バスの到着が10時半過ぎ、よくわからない園内をぶらりとしながら、有料のロッカーに荷物を入れ、波の出るプールわきのサマーベッド（椅子みたいな背もたれが倒れる席）に手荷物、タオルなどを置きそれぞれのプール、スライダーに出かけると11時くらいがスタート。

13時くらいにおなかがすいたというのでファーストフードの列（10組ぐらい並んでいる）に並び9.99ドルのランチセット（ハンバーガー、チキン+フライドポテト　系　ドリンク別、単品ではほかにもメニューあり　ビールもあります）を買い、ササっと食べて再びスライダーへとやっていたらあっという間に閉園時間の15時という感じでした。まあ言うほどアトラクションの数も多くなく、並ぶこともあまりなかったのでちょうどよい感じでした。

園内の係員はとても親切で明るいです。真面目です。

マリオットコオリナビーチクラブにお泊りの方は（うちはそうでしたが）送迎バスの迎えに来る場所があいまいでよくわからないのでご注意を。
ホテルの人に聞いてもよくわからないという状態です。

実際にバスの迎えに来る場所はマリオットの正面玄関のロータリーのところではなく正面玄関を出て坂を下り、車が入ってくる通りのマリオットの敷地の入口のところです。そこにWET＆WILDのマイクロバス（というより特大ハイエースみたいなの）が来ます。うちは正面玄関かと思って待っていましたが来ないので確認してもらったら下の道路のところでした。乗り遅れて2便を出してもらいました。

事前メールで集合場所の知らせがありますがその地図（グーグルマップ）の集合場所は正面玄関付近になっておりかなりいい加減なんです。英語が堪能な方は直接現地催行会社に尋ねるか、マリオットの日本語デスクの人に集合場所や不明点を催行会社に電話してもらうといいですよ。

まあ全体としては楽しく子供とも過ごせたので良かったとしておきます。

お気をつけて。
