All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

I was able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I thought I would be lucky to see one or two, but unexpectedly, they kept appearing one after another. The snorkeling was beautiful, with many tropical fish swimming around.

野生のイルカをたくさん見れました。
1匹2匹見れたらラッキーくらいに思っていたのですが予想外に次々と現れました。
シュノーケリングでは南国の魚がたくさん泳いでいて美しかったです。

I was able to enjoy the tour without worrying about the language thanks to KEN, who is Japanese. I am grateful to KEN. Thank you very much. It became the best memory as I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles.

クルーのKENさんが日本人で言葉に心配なくツアーを楽しむことができました。KENさんに感謝しています。ありがとうございました。イルカもウミガメも見ることができ最高の思い出になりました

When you arrive, there will be an explanation of the facilities from the Japanese staff, so you can relax and enjoy. If you arrive early, I recommend securing a shaded beach bench to enjoy. For meals, the kalua pork is recommended; it's quite filling, so one dish should be enough for a family of three to share.

現地に着いたら日本人のスタッフから施設の説明があるので安心して楽しめました。早い時間に着いたら、まずは日陰になるビーチベンチを陣取って楽しむこと。お勧めします。食事はカルアポークかおすすめ、ボリューミーなので家族3人なら一つをシェアすれば十分かな。

I was able to see many dolphins and honu! I was moved by the pod of dolphins swimming close to the boat! I was worried about my 5-year-old, but as expected, they seemed scared when they jumped into the sea and cried a lot underwater... However, the staff were very kind and supportive, which was a great comfort for me as a mother. On the boat, my child enjoyed watching the dolphins and eating snacks. My elementary school-aged siblings particularly enjoyed the slide and went down it multiple times. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling, but that's just how nature is! Thanks to all the cute dolphins and the cheerful staff, I made the best memories!

たくさんのイルカもホヌも見れました！
船に寄り添って泳ぐイルカの群れに感動！
５歳の子連れは心配でしたが、予想通り海に飛び込んだのが怖かったようで海の中では大泣きでした…でもスタッフさんが優しくフォローして下さり、母としては大変心強かったです。船の上では楽しそうにイルカを眺めたりお菓子を食べて満喫していました。
小学生の兄弟は、特にスライダーが楽しかったようで何度も滑っていました。
楽しみにしていたシュノーケルはお魚が見れなくて残念でしたが、これも自然が相手だから仕方ないこと！
その分たくさんの可愛いイルカと陽気なスタッフのおかげでサイコーの思い出が出来ました！

Seeing dolphins swim alongside the boat was such a magical moment, and snorkeling in those clear waters is so unforgettable!!!

It was a small group tour with only three groups. We were able to see dolphin spins and sea turtles, and it seemed like we snorkeled in a different location than usual, which was a valuable experience. I was especially glad to see the sea turtles up close. Our Japanese guide, Minako, was particularly attentive, which was very reassuring. Thank you very much.

3グループのみの少人数のツアーになりました。イルカのスピンやウミガメを見ることができ、シュノーケリングもいつもと違う場所でさせていただいたようで、貴重な体験でした。特にウミガメは近くでも見ることができてよかったです。日本語ガイドのミナコさんには特に気にかけていただき、大変心強かったです。ありがとうございました。

This is my third time participating. For those who can spend 3 nights and 5 days in Hawaii, it's best to join other tours. For those staying longer or who have visited Hawaii multiple times, I highly recommend it. There are many attractions that offer thrills not easily experienced in Japan, and on weekdays, the wait times are short, allowing you to ride multiple times. (The lazy river may be closed on weekdays.) It's suitable for everyone from children to adults, with options for 1 to 4 people, making it great for friends and family! Depending on the plan, drinks are also all-you-can-drink, so you only need to bring money for lunch. The weather in the area is usually good, so you can enjoy yourself in a great mood.

今回、3度目の参加。
3泊5日でハワイに来られる方は日程的に他のツアーにいくのがベスト。それ以上の日数や何度もハワイに来てる方は是非。なかなか日本では味わえないスリルもあるアトラクションも多く、平日は待ち時間も短く何回も乗れる。(流れるプールは平日は運休かも)子供から大人まで試しめ、1人〜4人乗りまであるため友達・家族同士でも！プランによっては飲み物も飲み放題のため、ランチ代のみ持っていけばよし。エリア的に天気もよいため
気分よく楽しめる。

The shuttle service was very smooth! The bus was comfortable as well. The person explaining everything was very clear and kind, so I had no worries! The other people on the tour were also really nice, and we had a fun time together. It was a shame that two attractions were under maintenance, but aside from that, I had no complaints. Be careful with sunscreen, as it tends to wash off easily. Since I went on a weekday, it was not crowded, and I was able to enjoy the rides smoothly! There was a smoking area in the center, which was great for smokers, and I was able to relax comfortably! The unlimited soft drinks were also very helpful! I highly recommend it!

送迎もとてもスムーズ！
バスの中も快適でした
説明してくれる方もとてもわかりやすくて優しくて不安はなかったです！
一緒のツアーになった方々もとてもいい人達でわいわいと楽しく過ごせました
二つほどメンテナンス中なのは残念でしたがそれを除けば文句なしでした
日焼け止めは塗っても塗っても落ちるのでそこは注意⚠️
平日に行けたので空いてて乗り物もスムーズに乗れました！
喫煙者には嬉しいスモーキングエリアも中央にあり快適に過ごせました！
ソフトドリンク飲み放題もとても助かりました！おすすめです

The thrill rides were seriously fun. I got splashed with a lot of water. It was great. I thought I would want to come back again. The wait times were short, and I was able to enjoy various water slides. Each one was thrilling, and my friends and I laughed a lot. There were many slides that you can't experience in Japan, and it was really enjoyable. In this plan, drinks were all-you-can-drink, so I was able to have beverages after enjoying the water slides and after changing before heading home.

絶叫系がガチで楽しかったです
顔にいっぱい水がかかりました。
良かったです。
また来たいと思いました。
待ち時間も少なく色んなウォータースライダーを楽しむことができました。
また、1つ1つ迫力があって友達ととても笑い合いました。日本には体験できないスライダーが多くとても楽しかったです。
今回のプランではドリンクが飲み放題だったのでウォータースライダーを楽しんだ後や着替えが終わり帰る時にも飲み物をいただけました。

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い！
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです！

toメイソンさん
婚約者の方とお幸せに！
ありがとうございました！

息子の初めて入る海！妻の初めての海外旅行！妻のご両親と一緒に初めての宿泊&40年ぶりのハワイ旅行！全てが楽しくなった1日でした！またハワイ旅行の時はツアーに参加したいと思ってます！

Highly recommend for families looking for an authentic luau experience on Oahu!

Chief’s Luau was an unforgettable evening. The fire knife dancing finale was unbelievable!!

Children under 2 years old are free, and there are plenty of kids' pools, which made for wonderful memories. My child accidentally pinched their finger and got a little hurt, but they received immediate care for free at the first aid station. We were able to enjoy ourselves until the very end without worry.

2歳児の子どもが無料で、キッズプールがたくさんあり素敵な思い出になりました。
子供が指を挟んで少し怪我をしてしまいましたが、救護室で無料ですぐ手当してくれました。安心して最後まで楽しめました。

There was a great plan where the second person is free, and I participated! The free drink service was also fantastic. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii. The new water slide was a lot of fun!

2人目無料のお得なプランがあり、参加させて頂きました！
ドリンク無料のサービスもあり、最高でした。またハワイに行く際は利用したいです。
新しいウォータースライダーがとても楽しかったです！

For our first activity in Hawaii, we chose Dolphin University. On the two-story boat, we could enjoy cruising on the upper deck while feeling the wind before meeting the dolphins. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with light rain, but there were plenty of dolphins. Dolphins have the second-largest brain size after humans, and they swam around the boat, seemingly aware of us. Along the way, the kids got a bit seasick, but overall, we were able to finish the trip in good spirits. I would love to try again on a sunny day!

Also, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. There are warm water showers on the boat, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by bus from Waikiki. However, they turned off the air conditioning on the way back, which was reassuring.

ハワイの最初のアクティビティとして、イルカ大学を選びました。２階建ての船で、イルカに出会う前までは2階で風を感じながらクルージングできます。あいにくの曇りと小雨でしたが、イルカは沢山居ました。イルカは人間に次ぐ脳みその大きさで、なかなか空気を読んでくれて船の周りで泳ぎ回ってくれました。途中で子供達がseasicknessになりましたが、おおむねご機嫌で終わることができました。また晴れの日にチャレンジしたいですね！
あと、着替えはあったほうが良いです。温水シャワー船内にありますし、ワイキキからはバスで40〜50分かかります。でも帰りはエアコンOFFしてくれるので、安心でした。

In early June, since it was still before the peak season, I was able to enjoy all the attractions with almost no waiting! I would love to come back during this time again. ^ - ^

6月初旬、まだ本格的にシーズンインしていない時期とあって、全てのアトラクションにほぼ並び無しで参加できました！
またこの時期に来たいです^ - ^

I visited at the end of May on a weekday. The location is about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu Airport, even further from Waikiki. There are package tickets that include official shuttle bus service, or you can add shuttle service as an option, but it costs about 5,000 yen per person. It's also possible to take a bus transfer, but it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, so I can't recommend that. When I checked Uber from Waikiki at 9:40, it was $31 one way, so I definitely recommend going by Uber!

I arrived in time for the 10:30 opening and entered. There are few changing rooms, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit from the hotel. You can store your belongings in lockers. The large locker costs $22, and the small locker costs $18. It was more expensive than I had researched beforehand. Even the small locker was large enough to hold clothes and valuables for two people.

I got used to the wave pool and was ready to go to the slides, but I was surprised to find that many of the slides were out of service. On that day, popular slides like the Waianae Coaster, Shaka, and Ohana Highway were all closed, and the lazy river was also not in operation.

Since there was no choice, I went to the end of the line for the slides that were operating, but the staff told me that this slide would also be closed, so I had to go somewhere else. It hadn't even been an hour since the park opened... It seemed that there were not enough staff, and even the attractions that were operating were on a rotation. Because of this, people concentrated on the slides that were open, and I had to wait an hour for some of them.

Also, that day the closing time was early at 3 PM. With only four and a half hours available, I ended up waiting for an hour and couldn't enjoy the slides at all. The slides themselves are really fun, but since they take up almost a whole day, I recommend them for those who have several days for their trip. On the way back, I was able to get an Uber quickly for $40.

5月末の平日に行きました。
場所はワイキキからだと、ホノルル空港よりさらに先になり、クルマで約40分ほどかかります。オフィシャルの送迎バスがついたパッケージチケットや、オプションで送迎をつけることもできますが、一人約5000円かかります。またバスを乗り継いで行くことも可能ですが、1.5時間〜2時間かかるそうなのでオススメはできません。
ワイキキで9:40にUberで調べたら片道31ドルだったので、絶対にUberで行くのがオススメです！！

10:30のオープンに合わせて到着し、入場。更衣室は数が少ないのでホテルで水着を着ていく方がいいと思います。ロッカーで荷物を預けられます。大きいロッカーは22ドル、小さいロッカーは18ドルでした。事前に調べていたより値上げしてました。小さいロッカーでも着替えや貴重品を2人分預けても十分な大きさでした。

波のプールで身体を慣らし、いざスライダーへと思いましたが、びっくりすることに運休のスライダーが多いことに気づきました。
この日はワイアエナコースター、シャカ、オハナハイウェイなど魅力的な人気スライダーが軒並み運休、加えて流れるプールも稼働していませんでした。

仕方ないので、動いてるスライダーに並ぼうと列の最後尾に行くと、このスライダーは運休になるから別に行ってくれと係員から言われました。まだ開園から1時間経ってないのに、、スタッフが少ないようでなんと稼働してるアトラクションすらローテーションで回しているのです。そのせいで動いてるスライダーに人が集中して、滑べるまで1時間待ったものもありました。

またこの日は閉園時間が早く15時。
4時間半しかないのに1時間も待たされ、結局、全然スライダーを楽しめませんでした。
スライダー自体はすごく楽しいですが、ほぼ一日使ってしまうので日数のある旅行の方にオススメです。
帰りもUberがすぐ来る場で40ドルで帰れました。

After finishing the zip line and returning to Waikiki, I received an email from Coral Crater. My husband and I can't speak English at all, so I can't say for sure, but it felt like the content expressed anger about not receiving a tip. There were three containers labeled "tips" outside the building at chest height, so I put some money in one of them. It was the moment when the fun experience turned into an unpleasant memory.

ジップラインを終えてワイキキに戻って来たぐらいに、コーラルクレーターからメールが来ました。私達夫婦は、まったく英語が話せないので、確かな事はいえませんが。チップを貰ってないと言う怒りの様な内容に感じました。私は建物の外にあった、胸の高さ位にチップと書いた入れ物が３つあっので、その内のひとつに入れました。楽しかった事が嫌な思い出に変わった瞬間です。

Minako, who attended to us, was incredibly kind! 😍 We got to see so many dolphins, it was the best! 😆😆 I want to go again! ✨

アテンドをしてくださったミナコさん‼︎
めちゃくちゃ親切でした😍
イルカもたくさん見れて最高でした😆😆

また行きたいです✨

I participated with my daughter! The transportation was an additional fee, but they came to pick us up on time, making it easy to get around. It was also helpful that there were staff members who provided explanations in Japanese when we arrived at the site. The pool had both thrilling rides and areas for small children to enjoy, making it a place where the whole family could have fun. Time flew by!

娘と一緒に参加させてもらいました！
送迎は別料金でしたが時間通りに
お迎えに来てくださり楽に移動が出来ました。現地に着くと日本語で説明をしてくださるスタッフの方がいらっしゃったのも助かりました。
プールは絶叫系と小さなお子様が楽しめるエリアもあり家族みんなで楽しめる所でした。時間があっという間に過ぎました！

I visited for the first time with my elementary school children and preschoolers!

We had a great time enjoying the kids' area centered around the wave pool and some gentle water slides!

We went in late May, but the opening hours are short from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so the kids still wanted to play! It was a struggle to take them home in the end. I definitely want to go again!

小学校低学年と幼稚園児を連れて初めて訪れました！

波のプールを中心にキッズエリアや軽めのウォータースライダーなど、満喫できました！

5月後半に行ったのですが10:30〜15:00とオープン時間が短いので子ども達はまだ遊びたい！と最後は連れて帰るのに苦労。また行きたいと思います！

I visited for the first time. It was very empty, possibly because it was a weekday in late May.

Some attractions for children over 42 inches were closed, so it was disappointing that we couldn't enjoy those, but both my child and I had a great time!

初めて訪れました。5月後半の平日だったからなのか非常に空いていました。

42フィート以上の子供が楽しめるアトラクションがいくつかCloseになっていたので、そこは楽しめず残念でしたが、親子共々非常に楽しめました！

We went there as part of our honeymoon activities! To put it simply, it was a place that I truly felt was worth visiting. There were scary slides typical of America, as well as areas and slides where families with children could enjoy together. Both of us love thrilling attractions, so we rode the scary slides multiple times, haha. It was so much fun that we even forgot about lunch.

However, since it's a place with strong sunlight, I think sunscreen is essential. Even those with strong skin will definitely get sunburned. I usually don't get sunburned much, but I turned bright red. If you bring sunscreen, all you have to do is enjoy! The weather seems to rarely have rain, so I don't think there's anything to worry about.

If any of my friends are going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend it. Thank you!

新婚旅行でのアクティビティとしていきました！
結論から言うと、行って良かったなって心からそう思える場所でした。アメリカらしいプールで怖いスライダーもあれば、子供連れの方も子供と一緒に楽しめる場所やスライダーもありました。私たちは2人とも怖いアトラクションとかが大好きなので、何回も怖いスライダーに乗りました笑
楽し過ぎて、お昼ご飯を忘れる程でした。
ただ、日差しが強い場所なので日焼け止めは必須だと思います。肌が強い人でも必ず日焼けします。
私もそんなに日焼けをしない方でしたが、真っ赤になりました。
日焼け止めを持って行けば、後は楽しむだけです！気候も雨が降ることがほとんどないところみたいなので、心配は無いと思います。
友人でハワイに行く子がいたら勧めたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.

自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり！！
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます！！！ありがとう！！！
thank you so much！！！*\(^o^)/*

There are more than 10 attractions, and it's definitely a must-visit when you come to Ko Olina. The satisfaction level is higher than that of Disney's pool.

We visited as a family and were extremely satisfied with the experience, which exceeded our expectations. The thrill rides were exhilarating and we had a blast! The facilities were clean, the staff was friendly, and the lunch and drink set was appreciated. The unlimited soft drinks made us feel like we were in a resort to the max!

10種類以上のアトラクションがありコオリナにきたら絶対行くべきです。
ディズニーのプールよりも満足度が高い。

家族で訪れましたが、予想以上の充実度に大満足。絶叫系スライダーはスリル満点で大はしゃぎ！施設も清潔でスタッフも親切、ランチとドリンクのセットもありがたかったです。ソフトドリンク飲み放題でリゾート気分MAXでした！

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨

朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑　イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました！　そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹　船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.

当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。
次回も参加したいと思います。

There were surprisingly many participants. Although it wasn't planned, the captain chased after whales and sea turtles when the opportunity arose. The view of the Ko Olina hotels from the sea was incredibly vast. The waves were a bit high, but it was beautiful.

参加者は意外と多かったです。予定には無いけど、ホエールやウミガメも機会があれば、船長の判断で追いかけてくれました。海から見るコオリナのホテル群は、とてつもなく広大でした。ちょっと波が高かったけど、綺麗でしたよ。
