西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー＜日本語ガイド兼インストラクター／送迎付き＞

I highly recommend it!!!!!!! おすすめです！！！！！！

In conclusion, it was incredibly fun!!!!!!!

This was my first solo trip abroad. I was looking for an optional tour to go snorkeling and discovered this tour. It was my second time in Hawaii, and I had seen quite a few sites mentioning that the west side could be dangerous, so I hadn’t researched it for my first visit. But when I found out there was a tour that would take us to the west side, I quickly made a reservation. Of course, since I was participating alone, I had some anxiety, but the moment I met our guide Akima, all my worries disappeared.

This time, there was a Japanese couple, and in addition to them, there were also some international participants (I couldn't identify their countries...), so perhaps that’s why two guides, Akima and a man named Bob, were with us. I regretted not studying English properly, as I could have talked with Bob and the others if I could speak it.

Akima explained various things in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner, including legends and the origins of power spots, as well as Hawaii's history, the mindset of the Hawaiian people, their way of life, and current situations, sometimes in a quiz format. This made the time spent in the car and during sightseeing enjoyable. In fact, I wanted to ask even more questions.

Regarding snorkeling, it was disappointing that I didn’t get to see a turtle (only Bob found one, but it was deeper in the water, so we couldn’t see it from the surface, haha). However, I had fun touching a sea urchin and having it placed on my head (of course, Akima gently returned it to the sea), and I got to see fish that can only be found in Hawaii. I thought I’d like to be able to do some free diving, even if it’s not full-on.

Oh, I learned that while the west side wasn’t safe over ten years ago, that’s not the case anymore in recent years.

I definitely want to request other tours, like a private tour, next time! It would be fun to go hiking together too♪

I look forward to it again!!!

結論から言うと、めちゃめちゃ面白かったです！！！！！

今回、初めて海外へのひとり旅でした。
１日はオプショナルツアーでシュノーケリングしたいなと探していたところ、このツアーを発見。
ハワイは２回目で、西は危ないと書かれているサイトもけっこう見かけていたので１回目は調べもしていなかったのですが、西に連れて行ってくれるツアーあるんだ♪ってことでさっそく予約。
もちろんひとり参加だったので多少の不安はあったのですが、ガイドのあきまさんにお会いした瞬間、その不安はなくなりました。

今回は日本人のご夫婦がいらっしゃって、それ以外に海外の方(国はわかりませんでしたが、、、)も参加されており、そのためかBobさんという男性とあきまさんのお二人がガイドしてくれました。英語がしゃべれたらその方やBobさんともお話できたんだけどなぁと、英語をちゃんと勉強していかなかったことを悔やみました。

パワースポットについての伝説や名前の由来などはもちろん、ハワイの歴史やハワイの方々の考え方、暮らし、状況など、いろいろなことをあきまさんが面白くわかりやすく、ときにクイズ形式で説明していただけるので、車に乗っている間も観光中も満喫できました。
というか、まだまだいろいろ聞いていたかったぐらいです。

シュノーケルについては、カメに会えなかったのは残念でしたが(Bobさんだけ見つけてましたが、海の下のほうだったので海面にいた私たちには見えませんでした笑）、ウニを触ったり頭に乗っけてもらったり（もちろん、丁寧にあきまさんが海に戻しておりました）、ハワイにしかいない魚が見られたりと、楽しかったです。
フリーダイビングまではいかなくても、ある程度の素潜りできるようになりたいと思いましたね～。

あ、西は１０年以上前は治安がよくはなかったが、近年はそのようなことはないとのことです。

ぜひ、次回はプライベートツアーなど他のツアーもお願いしたいです！
ハイキングとかもご一緒できたら楽しそうです♪

またぜひよろしくお願い致します！！！

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

It's recommended to buy meals locally. 食事は現地購入がお勧め

Reviewed by: きのこ

The facility itself is fun. There are a variety of attractions that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. However, the BBQ lunch buffet was terrible. It was buffet-style, and while I think it was cooked just before serving, I was expecting hot meat that I could grill myself, but that wasn't the case. The dining area was dimly lit and not a place where you would want to enjoy a leisurely meal. Above all, the faces of the other tour guests were gloomy. I wonder if everyone was disappointed. I think it would be better to eat at a local place within the park. The shuttle bus was comfortable, but it leaves early, so it's not suitable for those who want to stay longer. I had fun, but it turned out to be a somewhat disappointing tour.

この施設自体は楽しいです。子供から大人まで楽しめる様に多彩なアトラクションがあります。
ですがBBQランチ食べ放題が酷いです。びュッフェスタイルで、直前に調理したのではあると思うのですが、自分で焼くアツアツなお肉を期待していたのに、そうではありません。
食べる場所も薄暗く、ゆっくり食事したいと思える場所ではない。なにより同行した他のツアー客の顔も暗い。皆期待はずれだったのかな。
食事は現地、園内で食べたほうが良いと思いました。
送迎のバスは落ち着けましたが、帰りが早いので長く滞在したい人には向きません。
楽しめましたが、色々と残念なツアーになりました。

I'm glad I was able to go since I had been wanting to visit Hawaii for a long time after researching it online before my trip.

There are so many slides of various types, and while most are thrilling, there are also plenty of pools where small children can play. I think it's a place where everyone can enjoy themselves, from kids to adults, friends, couples, and families! It had been a while since my whole family could have fun together, so it was great to experience that again (laughs). By the way, I rode on every slide I could (laughs).

It wasn't as crowded as I expected, so I was able to enjoy all the slides without much waiting, which was nice! Also, there were free drinks available, so we could drink as much as we wanted!

I had a really great time!

実際にハワイに行く前からネットで調べてて、ずっと行きたいと思っていたので行けてよかったです。
とにかくスライダーだらけでいろんな種類があり基本的には絶叫ですが、小さい子供が遊べるようなプールもたくさんあって、子供から大人まで、友達やカップル、そして家族でも楽しめると思います！
なかなか家族みんなではしゃいだりとかはなかったので久々にできてよかったです（笑）私はちなみに片っ端から乗りまくりでした（笑）
思ったより混んでなく、どのスライダーもスルスル乗れたので良かったです！また、フリードリンクも付いていて、飲み放題でした！
すごく楽しかったです！

Since we didn't have the energy to climb the hills multiple times, the parents took a break on the summer beds by the wave pool. At the food stand, there were several types of drinks available for free.

The guide was very knowledgeable, so I was never bored listening to him! Touring while hearing about history and trivia allowed me to feel nature more deeply, making it a very memorable and stimulating experience! During the afternoon snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, and although we can't touch them due to the law, it came very close to us, and I was completely charmed by its cuteness! I highly recommend this for those who want to enjoy a drive along a coastline different from Waikiki!

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しかった！

Reviewed by: HYPER

I think we waited for the pickup bus for over 15 minutes. It was the longest wait time for a bus among the optional tours.

Once we arrived, the locker for storing our bags had a machine panel that reflected the sun, making it really hard to see and operate. After that, since there was no key for the locker, we headed to the pool hands-free and light!

Maybe because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could go on the slides without much waiting. Basically, I floated in the wave pool the whole time.

The most thrilling slide was the Shaka! My husband even let out an "Oh!" while going down. The Tornado was also fun, so we went on it twice, but I ended up hitting my backside hard against the pool because the hole for the tube was quite big. Even after returning to Japan, I still feel a tingling sensation when I sneeze... haha.

It rained at times, but we used that as a break to eat. Overall, we had a well-balanced and really fun time!

I applied sunscreen, but it seems it wasn't enough, and I ended up getting a terrible sunburn. I regretted not wearing a rash guard. I got sunburned so badly that it hurts just to touch it, so for those with sensitive skin or fair complexions, I think it's better to apply sunscreen frequently or protect your skin with a rash guard.

ピックアップのバスは15分以上は待ったかと思います。オプショナルツアーの中では1番バス待ち時間が長かったな。
着いてから荷物をしまうロッカーは、操作する機械のパネルが太陽を反射して全然見えなくて手惑いました。それが済んだら、ロッカーの鍵もないので手ぶらで身軽にプールへ！
平日だからか空いていて、スライダーに大して並ばずどんどん乗れます。基本的には波のプールでずっとプカプカしていました。
スライダーで1番スリルがあったのはシャカでした！夫も「おおお」と声が漏れていました。
トルネードも楽しかったので2回乗りに行きましたが、チューブのお尻を乗せる穴の部分が大きかったせいか、お尻をプールに強打しました。
日本に帰ってきてからもくしゃみするとまだ痺れる感じです…笑

時に雨も降りましたが、その時は休憩としてご飯食べてました。総じてバランス良く遊べてとっても楽しかったです！

日焼け止めを塗っていましたが全然足りなかったようで、ものすごく日焼けしてしまいました。ラッシュガードを着ていった方が良かったな〜と後悔しました。触るだけで痛いくらいガッツリ日焼けしてしまったので、肌が弱い方や色白の方…日焼け止めをこまめに塗るか、ラッシュガードなどで肌を守った方がいいと思います。

I saw Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii on TV before and wanted to go, so I signed up for this tour. The round-trip bus was close to the hotel, and there was guidance in Japanese on the way there, which was helpful. There was also Japanese translation for renting lockers, so there were no issues. The place was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy the slides with almost no waiting time. You can't experience that at famous pools in Japan...

Since there was an all-you-can-drink soft drink plan, it was nice not to have to carry money or cards except for lunch.

I had a great time and I'm satisfied!

I had an amazing time!! すっっごく楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: ふくふく

Each attraction can accommodate up to four people at a time, allowing us to enjoy many rides without waiting in line. We especially loved the Volcano and Tornado, riding them three or four times. The challenge was climbing up, balancing our stamina and time.

It was incredibly fun, but I did injure my tailbone when I landed after the Tornado ride, and my swimsuit tore slightly. I also experienced whiplash when I fell during the Shaka ride, which made me feel that this amusement park would never be possible in Japan, where complaints are taken very seriously.

The heat was intense, and not only did I get sunburned, but the concrete felt like it was burning the soles of my feet. We wore reef shoes, so we were fine, but it seemed many people were barefoot or took off their flip-flops at the entrance of the attractions and came back for them later.

We chose the all-you-can-eat BBQ course with bodyboarding lessons. The BBQ had a limited selection, but we were full from the steak and teriyaki chicken.

As for the bodyboarding, it wasn't really a lesson; we just had a private pool to practice riding the waves. The all-you-can-drink option was fantastic! By showing the red wristband, we could choose from several drinks in paper cups. It was great to have something to sip on whenever we got thirsty!

At the entrance, we were disappointed to have to throw away our unopened plastic bottles, but since they warm up quickly, I highly recommend the all-you-can-drink option.

各アトラクションが一度に4人とかすべれることもあり、並ばずにたくさん遊べました。特にボルケーノ、トルネードなど気に入ったものは3、4回乗りました。あとは上まで登る体力と時間との勝負。
すごくすごく楽しかったのですが、トルネードで落ちて着地したときに尾てい骨を打って水着がやぶけ軽く怪我したのと、シャカで落ちた瞬間重力に首が持ってかれてムチウチ状態になったので、残念ながらクレーマーに弱い日本には絶対できることのない遊園地だなと感じました。
照りつけるような熱さで、日焼けだけじゃなく、コンクリートなので足の裏が焼けそうでした。私たちはリーフシューズを履いていたので平気でしたが、みんな裸足か、アトラクション入口でビーサンを脱いでまた取りに来る、という人が多かったように思います。
BBQ食べ放題とボディボードレッスン付きのコースにしました。BBQは、種類は少ないですが、ステーキと照り焼きチキンでお腹いっぱいになりました。
ボディボードは？？レッスンではなく、ただひたすら波の出るプールを貸し切って波に乗る練習をするだけでした。
ドリンク飲み放題もついていて、これはすごくよかったです。赤いリストバンドを見せると紙コップのドリンクを数種類選べます。ちょっと喉かわいたら飲めるのが最高！
入口の検査で、ペットボトルは開封してないのに捨てさせられて残念でしたが、ペットボトルはすぐぬるくなるので、ドリンク飲み放題はオススメです。

I learned various things about Hawaii. ハワイの色々な事を勉強させてもらいました。

Reviewed by: マイクパパ

The guide was very eager to learn and had extensive knowledge about Hawaii. She entertained us by teaching us about Hawaii's birds, fish, flowers, and state flag through quizzes, explaining their reasons and origins. She also provided detailed information about Hawaii's unique climate, lifestyle, customs, and the flowers and seeds of its plants. Regarding the western tourist spots, she humorously shared local legends and stories while guiding us.

As for the snorkeling, she not only showed us fish, coral, and turtles but also discovered dolphins a bit offshore and helped two of our companions, who weren't strong swimmers, by pulling them along on a float. It must have been quite physically demanding for her. She kindly listened to our whims.

Additionally, on that day, we were fortunate enough to encounter a parade for a world champion in martial arts (a fighter from western Hawaii) and even met a wild peacock, which suggests that our guide had a special touch. She had lived in various places around the world and had experience in different jobs, sharing her rich knowledge about the lifestyles, climates, and customs of those countries.

Finally, regarding her personality, I felt she was a kind Hawaiian born in Japan. If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely ask her to be my guide.

ガイドの方は、大変勉強熱心らしく、ハワイについての知識が豊富。私たちを楽しませてくれようと、ハワイの鳥、魚、花、州旗などなどその理由、成り立ちについて、クイズ形式で教えてくれました。また、ハワイ特有の気候、生活、風習、植物の花や種についても、詳しく教えてくれました。西部の観光スポットについては、実際にガイドをしながら、現地に伝わる伝説、伝承を交えユーモラスに語ってくれました。肝心のシュノーケリングですが、魚、サンゴ、亀などを見せてくれたのは勿論のこと、ちょっと沖の方にイルカを発見し、泳ぎが得意でない同行者二人をフロートにつかまらせて引っ張って連れて行ってくれました。体力的にもかなりハードであったと思われます。わがままな我々の言うことを優しく受け止めてくれてもいました。更に、当日は何とハッピーなことに格闘技世界チャンピオン(ハワイ西部出身の選手)の凱旋パレードにも出くわしたり、野生のクジャクに出会ったりと、ガイドの彼女は何か持っているに違いありません。ガイドの彼女は世界各地に実際に生活し様々な仕事に携わった経験があり、その国々の生活や気候、風習などについても経験豊富な知識を元に話してくれました。最後に、彼女の性格ですが、私の感じたところ優しい日本生まれのハワイ人という感じでした。又、ハワイに来る機会があれば彼女にガイドを頼もうと思います。

Niche tours マニアック系ツアー

Reviewed by: 白メガネ＆黒肌

I recently visited Hawaii after a long time, and since it was my friend's first trip to Hawaii, I was in charge of planning the itinerary. After debating between a "local guide" and a "niche tour," I decided on this tour.

First, I was surprised that our guide was a woman! Since it was advertised as "West Oahu where no one goes," I was curious about what kind of local guy would show up, but…

There were really no Japanese people at the beach! I felt like this was exactly the kind of tour I was looking for, and my excitement was through the roof. The supermarket was filled with locals, and I loved the feeling of being in an unfamiliar place.

The caves were also getting crowded with tourists shortly after us, so I thought the timing was perfect. The content included explanations of old legends and myths, and the guide took plenty of photos for us, providing thoughtful assistance throughout. She was knowledgeable about animals and plants, and I never got bored listening to her.

We encountered a pod of dolphins around Yokohama Bay, which got everyone excited.

During snorkeling, we saw not only sea turtles but also sharks. When someone shouted "Shark!" and I turned around, there was a shark about a meter long, and I had the incredibly rare experience of swimming alongside it. I was told it was not aggressive, but it was a bit thrilling.

While it wasn't just a random assortment of fish, we did see colorful fish and schools, which was great.

However, the temperature difference in the water made me feel cold before the turnaround point, and I started to feel seasick. The stops for explanations were the worst for my nausea. I apologize for not being able to hear much during the second half as I was battling my discomfort.

If you're sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to wear a rash guard during certain times.

But it would have been better if I hadn't gotten seasick… Even if you can't swim and use a float, you still feel the waves while holding onto it… (laughs) It was fine while I was biting down on the snorkel, but the moment I took it out and tasted the seawater, I felt like I was going to gag (though I didn't throw up).

For lunch, it might be better to keep it light or eat something that can be eaten with your hands in the car on the way back (like bread). I bought a poke bowl for lunch, and they kept anything that needed refrigeration cool, so I felt safe purchasing it!

On the way back to Waikiki, I fell into a deep sleep, and by the time I woke up, I had recovered from my seasickness and was ready to enjoy the evening activities.

私は久々のハワイで、初ハワイの彼に行程を任されまして、｢現地人ガイド｣か｢マニアック系｣で悩んだ結果、こちらのツアーに決定しました。
まず、ガイドさんが女性なのに驚き！"誰も行かない西オアフ"ってマニアックな事を謳うくらいなのでどんな地元に根付いた兄ちゃんが出てくるのかと思ったら…！

海も本当に日本人いない！こういうツアーを求めてた！！！って感じでテンションはあがりまくり…
スーパーもローカルしかいない所でこのアウェー感がたまらん！状態。
洞窟も私たちのちょい後には外人さんでいっぱいになっていて、時間のチョイスも絶妙だと思いました。
内容も昔ながらの伝説や神話を交えて解説、写真もバシバシ撮って下さるし細やかな対応で助かりました。
動物や植物にも詳しく、聞いていて飽きなかったです。
ヨコハマベイ周辺ではイルカの群れに遭遇で一同盛り上がりました。

シュノーケリングではウミガメだけでなく、サメにも遭遇しました。
サメだ！の声に振り返ると1mくらいのサメがいて、一緒に泳ぐという貴重すぎる体験が出来ました。人を襲わないヤツと言う事でしたが、ちょっとスリルがありましたね。

手当たり次第魚がいると言う感じではなかったですが、カラフルな魚や群れも見られて良かったです。

ただ…割と水の寒暖差でUターンポイント前には体が冷え切り、波には酔う始末。
説明の為に停滞するのが酔いの命取り状態でした^^;;
後半は自分との戦いでほぼ説明が聞き取れずですいませんでした。

寒さを感じやすい方はラッシュガード上下あると良い時期があるかもしれませんね。

しかし、波に酔わなければより良かったです…
泳げなくてNG！なら浮き輪で戻れても…酔いは浮き輪に捕まっていても揺れますしね…(笑
シュノーケルを奥歯でギューっとしている間は良かったのですが、外して海水の味が口に回った瞬間オエっとなりました(吐かなかったけど。
ランチは控えめか、帰りの車の中で失礼した方が良いかもしれません。(パンとか手で食べられるもの)
ランチはポキボウルを買いましたが冷蔵が必要なものは冷やしておいて下さるので安心して購入出来ました！

ワイキキに戻る間にぐっすりいっちゃったので、起きた時には酔いからも回復していて夕方からの遊びもがんばれました。

I had a great time here during my last visit, so I made a reservation again. If I had to say something, it's a bit disappointing that the variety of all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch is still limited, but other than that, I really enjoyed it!

前回こちらで予約してとても楽しかったので再予約しました。
あえて言えばBBQランチ食べ放題の種類が相変わらず少ないことが残念ですが、それ以外は満喫できました！

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Very nice dinner and impressive show

Reviewed by: Liz

The dinner and luau experience at Paradise Cove were very nice. Our bus guide, Rich, was funny and helpful.

When we arrived we were given a mai tai/alcohol free mai tai, a flower lei if you bought the orchid or deluxe package (shell necklace if not), and they take a photo. Then you go in and shop or do activities. We got "Polynesia tattoos", had flower headbands made, held parrots, and threw spears. The lines for the activities take ages.

Unbeknownst to me, the stands that sell all the interesting items close when dinner starts, so if you want to use your merchandise card on something other than alcohol or cheap junk in the Marketplace shop then make sure you do you shopping before dinner starts. Children's merchandise cards can't be used on alcohol. This part was the only downside.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

Pool entertainment not available in Japan. 日本にはないプールエンターテイメント

Reviewed by: ogikichi

There are a lot of Japanese people here, so it doesn't feel much like being abroad, but the facilities and concept are something you wouldn't find in Japan, and it was truly wild.

There are attractions that provide a thrill that's almost scary, and since it wasn't too crowded, I was able to fully enjoy both the thrilling rides and the more relaxed options (there's also a soothing hot spring area). The food is similar to what you find at Disney, so I wouldn't have high expectations.

I occasionally use optional tours when traveling abroad, and this one was quite cost-effective. I immediately recommended it to my friends after returning home.

I think I will go again when I visit Hawaii.

日本人が多めなので、あまり海外に来た感じがしないですが、
施設やコンセプトは日本にはない感じでまさしくワイルドでした。

怖いぐらいのスリルを感じるアトラクションもあり、そんなに混んでなかったので、
スリルあるものや、やんわり系（ゆったり温泉コーナーもあります）を思う存分満喫することができました。
食事はディズニーにあるようなものなので、あまり大きな期待はできないかなと。

海外でたまにオプションツアーを利用しますが、これはなかなかのコスパでした。
帰国してから、早速友達にお勧めしました。

また、ハワイに行ったら行くと思います。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: クミコ先生

It was a very American tour where the entertainment started already on the bus. The bus guide was amazing! The pre-show entertainment was fun, with a sense of unity amidst the freedom. If you don't miss the signal from the conch shell, you can keep up with the flow. But it's okay if you fall behind! Everyone spends their time as they like, and that sense of freedom is very pleasant.

It's more enjoyable if you can speak English, but if you want to experience American entertainment with your body, you don't need to worry about the language! I recommend this for those who want to have an experience a bit different from a typical Japanese group tour!

The deluxe dinner course is worth the money. The meal is served to you, and you also receive souvenirs and a $24 gift card. We wore yukatas! Since everyone was dressed nicely, there was no need to feel embarrassed. It gets chilly at night, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over.

I was glad to have such a fun tour. Thank you!

行きのバスの中から既にエンターテイメントが始まる(盛り上がっている)アメリカらしいツアーでした。バスガイドさん最高です！
ショーが始まる前の余興も、自由な中に一体感があり楽しかったです。ホラ貝の合図を聞き逃さなければ、ちゃんと流れについていけます。でも流れに遅れても問題ないです！皆んな好きなように時間を過ごしています。その自由感が心地よくなります。
英語はできた方が楽しいですが、アメリカのエンターテイメントを体で感じるのであれば、言葉は気にしなくていいです！日本人の団体ツアーから少しでも離れた経験をしたい人にオススメです！
デラックスディナーコースはお金を払う価値アリです。食事も運んでもらえて、お土産や24ドルの金券(カード)ももらえます。
私達は、浴衣を着て行きました！皆さんお洒落しているので、恥ずかしくないですい。夜は冷えるので、羽織る物を持っていくといいです。
こんなに楽しいツアーがあって良かった、と思いました。ありがとうございました。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove 2017

Reviewed by: Henry

This was truly a great time. We had the deluxe package so we had special seating and an unobstructed view of the stage and entertainers. The weather was great as well as the food and drinks. They took great care of us and attended our every request. They had lots of activities at the cove. They had spear throwing, rafting, lei making and of course hula lessons. If you go to the island make the time to attend a luau and especially at Paradise Cove. It was simply the best.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー＜ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内＞

The content was substantial for the price. 価格の割には充実した内容でした。

Reviewed by: 64歳男性旅行者

The tour guide spoke only in English, but it was fine since we just had to follow along. It was a standard plan, but we were able to see quite closely. There was a lot of talking, so I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. The fire dance was impressive with a large crowd. The food was typical buffet fare, and the only traditional Hawaiian dish was kalua pork. If you're not specifically looking for Hawaiian cuisine, it was enjoyable enough.

ツアーガイドは英語のみですが、付いていくだけなので問題はありませんでした。スタンダードプランでしたが、結構近くで見れました。トークが多いですので、英語が解ればより楽しめたと思います。ファイアーダンスは大勢で迫力がありました。料理は一般的なビュッフェ料理で、ハワイ伝統料理はカルーアポークくらいでした。ハワイ料理が目的でなければ、十分楽しめる内容でした。

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

Luau

Reviewed by: Greg Jones

What a great experience. The buss was right on time. The driver was funny and knowledgeable. She talked about the island as we drove to the Sea Life center. The Laura was very well organized, the setting was amazing. Made you feel like you were miles from anywhere. The show and culture was perfect. The fire dancers were my favorite. Food! Wow, very well done. I highly recommend this Laura. We were not disappointed, I actually figured these thing are touristy and would not have much Culture in the program. Not this one. It's great I thought.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

I got really excited. はしゃいじゃいました。

Reviewed by: ととた

We had a great time!

We participated as two couples in our late 40s. We joined with transportation, unlimited drinks, and a one-day pass.

We were picked up at the hotel and received explanations from a guide who was fluent in Japanese. After a few pickups, we arrived at the location in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. As we had been informed beforehand, a DVD explaining safety precautions in Japanese was playing in the car, and we had no trouble using the lockers.

When we headed to the attractions, I couldn't stand the heat of the ground barefoot, so I quickly returned to the locker to get my Crocs. Since you can't participate in the attractions while wearing sandals, I left them nearby (there were plenty of places to put them).

All the attractions were fun, but the slopes and stairs were quite tough. For the rubber boat, you have to carry it up yourself, so it's a chance for the men to show off.

I opted for the unlimited Surf Rider for an additional $5 (you can sign up at the information desk after entering). Personally, I found this to be the most enjoyable. It was my first time, and I was worried it might turn into a hilarious disaster like what I saw on TV with the Ungirls, but even a guy in his 40s could do it fairly normally—surprisingly easy? I recommend it.

My wife was really into the Shaka. It's a two-person attraction where you sit facing each other, so if you love thrill rides, you'll enjoy sitting in the back where you can see the ground.

いやー楽しかったぁ

40代後半の夫婦２カップルで参加しました。
送迎+ドリンク飲み放題+１日パスで参加しました。

ホテルでピックアップしてもらい日本語の達者なガイドさんから説明を受け、数カ所のピックアップをへてワイキキから30程度で現地に到着しました。事前の話で聞いていた通り車内では日本語の注意事項の説明DVDが流れ、ロッカーの使い方も迷わずできました。

いざアトラクションに向うも裸足で行ったらあまりの地面の暑さに耐えられず、ロッカーにクロックスを取りにすぐ戻りました。アトラクションはサンダルを履いたままではできないので、アトラクションの近くで脱いで置いときました。（いっぱい置いてありました）

どのアトラクションも面白いのですが、坂道と階段が結構きついです。ゴムボートはセルフで上まで運ぶので男性はいい所を見せるチャンスです。

+５ドルでサーフライダー一日乗り放題にしました。（インフォメーションで受け付けしてるので入場してから自分で申し込みます）自分としてはこれが一番面白かった。まったくの初めてで、以前テレビでアンガールズがやってたようにハプニング映像になるのかなぁとやる前は不安でしたが、40過ぎのおじさんでもわりとフツーにというか、以外に簡単？おススメです。

嫁さんはシャカにはまってました。二人乗りで向かい合って座るタイプのアトラクションなので絶叫系が好きな人は下が見える後ろに乗ったほうがより一層楽しめます。

Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii Water Park Admission Tickets

Fun memorial day

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We got there early, so we were able to ride most of the slides before it got crowded. The Shaka is my favorite, with the Waianae Whirl as a far second. If you haven't been there in a while (like me), the Shaka is now a 1-person ride instead of a 2-person as it was before. Convenient, since there was 3 of us.

If you haven't been there before, you aren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the park. They check bags at the entrance, and I had to empty my water bottle since it wasn't sealed (it was just tap water, so no worries). Sunscreen is a must, as you'll be in the sun pretty much the whole time. Pro-tip: bring reefwalkers/water shoes! Slippers aren't allowed on the rides (for obvious reasons), so having reefwalkers will ensure you won't have to walk around on the hot, grippy ground of the park.

All in all, it's a fun way to spend the day and I'm glad I went!
