All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

There were many types of water slides, and it was really fun. However, the ground was very hot, and I felt like I could get burned if I went barefoot. If I wore sandals, I would have to take them off when going on the slides, so I would be in trouble if I lost them... I wish I had brought some inexpensive sandals from a 100 yen shop that I wouldn't be sad to lose.

たくさんの種類のウォータースライダーがあってとても楽しかったです。でも地面がとても熱くて裸足だと火傷しそうでした。サンダルを履いて行くと、スライダーに乗るときは脱がなきゃいけないので無くなると困るし…ということで、100円ショップなどの安い無くなっても悲しくないサンダルを持っていけばよかったなと感じました。

I entered as soon as it opened and stayed until 3 PM, but time flew by.

It was relatively uncrowded, and almost all attractions had a wait time of around 15 minutes.

I think it's a place you should visit at least once when you come to Hawaii.

オープンと同時に入って3時まで滞在しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。

比較的すいていて、ほぼ全てのアトラクションが15範囲内の待ち時間でした。

ハワイに来たら一回は行くべきだと思います。

I always go when I visit Hawaii. It's wonderful to be able to ride the thrilling slides without waiting in long lines. It was definitely the right choice to go out and have fun.

ハワイに行くと必ず行きます。
長時間並ばずに、絶叫スライダーに乗れるのは、素晴らしい
わざわざ遊びに行って正解です

We participated in creating family memories for my daughter's 10th birthday present. The morning pickup point was somewhat scattered, and our house was about a 7 to 10-minute walk away. The bus was comfortable, and the explanations from the Japanese instructor were very easy to understand, which was great. There were 45 participants that day, and since it was during summer vacation, there were 12 children under 12 years old.

When we arrived at the port, we quickly spotted dolphins on the stable Tamakalan boat, but perhaps because of the large size of the boat, we couldn't get close to the dolphins. Maybe the smaller Dolphin Junior boat is more maneuverable? We tried to enter the water ahead of the direction the dolphins were swimming, but since 45 people splashed in at once, the dolphins swam away, and we desperately swam towards them. During the first entry, I was able to catch a glimpse of them by closely following the instructor, but it was only for about 10 seconds. That day, instead of the usual two entries, we made three, but in the end, my daughter and husband couldn't see any dolphins... It turned into a disappointing memory.

However, the accompanying photographer was very cheerful and lively, which made it a lot of fun, but the photos he took cost $60 per group. We ended up spending quite a bit. Because we made three entries, we didn't have time for snorkeling, and we couldn't do any marine activities. I think our satisfaction would have been much higher if we had encountered the dolphins, so it's very disappointing.

For our family of four, including the photo costs, it came to 60,000 yen. I was aware that there was a possibility of not seeing them since they are wild animals, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see them in the water even though we could confirm they were so close.

娘の１０歳お誕生日プレゼントとして家族の思い出作りに参加しました。
朝のピックアップポイントはざっくりと分かれており、我が家は徒歩７〜１０分歩いたところでした。バスは快適で、日本人インストラクターの方の説明がとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。この日は４５名の参加があり、夏休み中ということもあり１２歳以下の子供が１２人参加。
港に着くと、揺れの少ないタマカランボートに乗ってイルカはすぐに見つかりましたが、大きいボートのせいかなかなかイルカに近づけず。イルカ中学のボートのほうが小回りが利くのでしょうか？イルカが泳いでくる方向に先回りしてエントリーしましたが、４５人がバシャバシャ飛び込んだせいか、イルカが離れていってしまい、イルカのほうまで必死に泳ぎました。１回目のエントリーではインストラクターの後をすぐについていったのでちらっと見ることができましたが１０秒程度。この日、通常２回のところ、３回エントリーしましたが、結局、娘と夫はイルカを見ることができず。。。しょっぱい思い出作りになりました。
ただ同行していたカメラマンの方がとても陽気で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったのですが、撮ってくれた写真は１グループ６０＄。すっかり散財してしまいました。
３回エントリーしたことで、スノーケリングの時間もなくなり、マリンアクティビティもできずじまい。イルカと遭遇できていたら満足度が高かったと思うのですが、とても残念です。
家族４人で写真代をいれて６万円。自然のものなので会えない可能性があるのは承知の上でしたが、すぐそばに確認できたのに海の中で見られなかったことがとても残念でした。

The instructor's enthusiasm to show everyone the dolphins was incredible, and they extended the time to chase the dolphins, allowing us to see them multiple times. The most touching moment was when three dolphins swam right beneath us! ♪ Because of the extension, the snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) we had planned later were combined into one activity, so my husband chose SUP while I chose snorkeling. I was able to enjoy cheering for my husband on the surface while snorkeling. Since these are wild dolphins, we can't always swim with them, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.＾＾

参加者のみんなにイルカを見せようというインストラクターさんの熱意がすごくて、イルカを追う時間を延長して何度も見せてくれました。
丁度自分たちの真下を３匹のイルカが泳いで行った時が一番近くて感動しました♪
その延長のために、後に計画していたシュノーケリングとサップの時間が一緒になり、どちらかひとつの参加となりましたが、夫はサップを、私はシュノーケリングを選び、シュノーケリングの傍らサップしてる夫を水面から応援して楽しむことが出来ました。
野生のイルカなので、常に一緒に泳げるわけではありませんが、十分に楽しいツアーでした。＾＾

The pickup bus did not arrive on time, and we had to wait quite a while. The bodyboarding lesson and lunch took up a lot of time, leaving us with little opportunity to enjoy the attractions freely. Honestly, the BBQ lunch wasn't extravagant, and we could have just bought hamburgers and hot dogs on-site. The pool is open until 5 PM, but the return bus gathering was at 3 PM. I think it would be better to go by rental car next time.

迎えのバスが時間通りに来ず、だいぶ待たされました。
ボディボードレッスン、ランチに時間を取られてしまって、自由にアトラクションを楽しむ時間が少なかった。
ＢＢＱランチは正直豪華な訳でもなく、ハンバーガーやホットドッグを現地で買っても良かった。
プールの営業は１７時迄なのに帰りのバス集合は１５時。
次回行くならレンタカーで行った方が良いと思いました。

My first trip to Hawaii. And it was a solo journey. I was able to swim together during two out of three dives! After that, I enjoyed marine sports and went snorkeling again. I wish I had taken motion sickness medication. The staff were bright, reliable, and made me feel safe!

初のハワイ。そして一人旅。3回のダイブで2回一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました‼︎その後はマリンスポーツで楽しんだりまたシュノーケリングしたりと満喫できます。酔い止め飲んでいれば良かったです。スタッフの皆さん明るく頼もしく安心でした‼︎

It's a park that both children and adults can enjoy. The BBQ lunch was in a buffet style, where you take pre-cooked items rather than grilling them yourself, which was different from what I had imagined. There weren't many options, so I would rate it a minus one. However, the area where you purchase food was quite crowded, so if I go again, I think I would choose a lunch option.

子供も大人も楽しめるパークです。BBQランチは、想像していたBBQとは異なり焼くのではなく、出来上がっているものをとるビュッフェ形式でした。あまり種類もなくマイナス１。ただし、食事を購入するところはかなり混雑していたので、次回行くとしてもランチ付きを選ぶと思います。

It's very spacious and you can enjoy it all day long. However, I had to wait quite a bit because the pickup time was more than 30 minutes late. Since bringing any food or drinks into the park is prohibited, there were people whose water bottles were confiscated.

とても広くて一日中楽しめる。
ただ、ピックアップ時間を30分以上遅れて来たため、だいぶ待ちぼうけをした。
パーク内は全ての飲食物の持ち込みが禁止のため、水筒ごと没収されてる人達もいました。

I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.

I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)

It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.

日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました！ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。

子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。（夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑）

小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです！波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。

I've been going to this pool with my kids for three years. In Japan, you would have to wait in a long line, but here the wait time isn't that long, and I think the slides are more thrilling than those in Japan. However, it was disappointing that the pickup time was more than 30 minutes late, which reduced our time there. I thought that if the return time were a bit later, we could have enjoyed it even more.

3年前から子供達と行ってるプール。日本だと長蛇の列だけどここはそこまでの待ち時間ではなくスライダーもここまでの迫力は日本にはないと思います。ただピックアップの時間が30分以上遅れてだったので滞在時間が少なくなってしまったのが残念でした。帰りもその分か、もしくは元々もう少し遅いともっと満喫出来るのに…と思いました。

It was fun, but I’m not sure if it was because of summer vacation or an accident, but we got stuck in traffic on the way there, and by the time we arrived, the beach chairs were already taken (we did manage to get a seat in front of the food court). It was really disappointing that our stay was so short. I expected the park to be crowded, so that was understandable, but I think it would have been much more enjoyable during the off-season. We also had to wait for the return bus because some people didn’t arrive on time, so overall, the tour left me with the impression of just waiting.

楽しかったですが、夏休みだからか事故なのか分かりませんが、行きの道中渋滞にはまり着いた頃にはオープン後でビーチチェアーも確保できず(フードコート前の席は取れましたが)滞在時間が短くなってしまったのがとても残念でした。園内が混み混みなのは予想範囲内でしたので仕方がないですが、きっとオフシーズンだともっと楽しかっただろうなと思います。帰りのバスも時間に来ない方がいらっしゃって待たされ、全体的に待ち時間ばかりが印象に残るツアーになってしまいました。

I had a very enjoyable day. Here’s a summary of my experiences:

****** Meeting Point ******
- Gather in front of the three flags at the Ilikai Hotel.
- There were many Japanese people around at the meeting time.
- The bus driver (a foreigner) was taking attendance.
- Before boarding, we each received wristbands according to our plans.
- The bus was cold. It's better to choose a seat where the overhead vent is not broken, as the vent was blocked and couldn't be closed.
- Arrived 30 minutes before the opening. It’s a good idea to eat breakfast during that time. You can also eat while the bus is driving.

****** Entrance ******
- It's better to line up early to secure a large locker.
- While waiting in line, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen.
- Food and drinks cannot be brought in. There will be a check.
- Dash to secure a locker as soon as the venue opens!!
- Lockers are selected via a touch panel. Choose large or small based on the order, and insert your credit card.
Note: It takes time for the credit card to be recognized after insertion. Once you register your PIN, you will be assigned a locker number.

****** Attractions ******
- It's best to do everything you want to do first thing in the morning.
- Weekdays are recommended. You can ride without waiting in line.
- Flip-flops are essential. You can take them off at the entrance, but it’s fine to just stick your arm through the thong part when riding. In fact, if you take them off, you might regret it.

****** Food and Drink ******
- It's expensive, but not enough to justify an all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat option. It would be a waste of time.
- Definitely recommend using a credit card.

That’s all. Hope this helps!

以上です。参考までに

We went with a 13-year-old, a 7-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 1-year-old.
There are many attractions that each of them can enjoy.
We visited on a Saturday, and there were a lot of locals.

The concession stand was a bit pricey, but we got 8 mini hamburgers, 4 drinks, and a large order of fries for just under $40.
I recommend it!

13歳、7歳、4歳、1歳でいきました。
それぞれが遊べるアトラクションが多数あります。
土曜日にいきましたが、地元の方々
非常に多かった。

売店は高めでしたがミニハンバーガー8個、ドリンク4つ、大山盛りポテトで40ドル弱
おすすめです！

First of all, I felt a great sense of reassurance when I saw the Japanese staff welcoming us. The explanations were all very thorough, covering how to use the snorkel, how to use the life jacket, and details about the dolphins we would see, which made me really excited before getting in the water. Thanks to the staff, we were able to see many dolphins and turtles! The staff were truly dedicated, guiding everyone with enthusiasm, saying things like, "There are dolphins here!" and we had a wonderful time.

However, there was one point that might have been due to my not reading all the details thoroughly: the photographer takes pictures of everyone throughout the experience! The photos, as shown, are really beautiful and I love them, but they are quite expensive... around 5,000 to 6,000 yen. I only heard about this for the first time on the bus after the shoot. Of course, purchasing is optional, but I think most people will want the photos taken together, so please keep the additional photo costs in mind.

That said, both the experience and the photos were fantastic, so I am very satisfied. Thank you to the friendly and warm staff! I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!

まずお出迎えから日本人スタッフさんがいたことでかなり安心感がありました。また説明はすべて丁寧で、シュノーケルの使い方、救命胴衣の使い方、見られるイルカの説明など入水前からかなりウキウキする内容でした。そして実際には、スタッフさんのおかげで沢山のイルカや亀を見ることができました！スタッフみなさん本当に一生懸命「ここにイルカがいるよ～！！」などとみんなを先導してくださり素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。ただ1点だけ、私が隅々まで説明を読んでいなかったからかもしれませんが、カメラマンさんが随時みんなの写真を撮ってくれます！写真も載せているようにとても素敵でかなり気に入っていますが、値段が高いです・・・５～６千円くらいです。これは撮影終わったバスのなかで初めて聞きました。もちろん購入は自由だそうですが、みんなで撮った写真はほとんどの人がほしくなると思いますので追加で写真代金も念頭においてください。
ですが内容も写真も最高だったので私は大満足です。フレンドリーで温かいスタッフさんありがとうございました！！またハワイに行く際には絶対参加します！

We participated as a family of four. Early in the morning, there are important safety briefings on the bus. The tour was packed with activities, including four opportunities to enter the water while searching for dolphins, snorkeling with sea turtles, and time to challenge ourselves with canoeing.

家族4人で参加。朝早くバス中も安全上大切な説明があります。イルカを探して4回の入水、海亀と一緒に泳いだシュノーケリングとカヌー挑戦の時間など、休むまもないほど中身の詰まったツアーでした。◎

If I could give advice to someone going for the first time, I would say:
- Since time is limited, wear your swimsuit on the way there. The bus can be cold, so bring a jacket.
- During lunchtime, the snack shop is extremely crowded. You will have to stand in line to place your order and then get in another line to pick it up. Try to have lunch either early or late.
- As the tour's return time approaches, more people will be changing, but there are only about six changing rooms. It’s not ideal to get on a cold bus without properly drying your hair or body, so it’s better to change early and have some time to browse the shops.

It's not a very large facility and can get crowded, but just being able to play in a pool in Hawaii is exciting. Considering that, I give it four stars.

もしこれから初めて行く人にアドバイスできるなら、
・時間に限りがあるので行きは水着着用で。バスは寒いので上着を羽織りましょう。
・昼食時、売店はめちゃ混みです。オーダーするために行列に並び、受け取るために隣の行列にまた並びます。昼食は早めか遅めに。
・ツアーの帰り時間近くになると着替える人たちが増えますが、更衣室は６室位しかないです。ろくに髪や体を乾かせないまま冷房の効いたバスに乗るのも良くないので、早めに着替えてショップをブラつく位の余裕を持った方がいいです。

そんなに大きな施設ではないし混んでますが、ハワイのプールで遊んでるってだけでテンション上がります。そこも含めて☆４つです。

I was initially surprised by the facilities that made use of the terrain. There were plenty of slides, and my child and I enjoyed our time sliding down them repeatedly. We gathered for the return bus at 14:45, and the bus departed at 15:00, so I felt a bit busy as I started getting ready to leave and took a shower by 14:30.

地形をいかした施設に初めは驚きました。スライダーが豊富で、親子で何度も繰り返し並んで滑り、楽しい時間を過ごしました。14:45に帰りのバスに集合、15:00にバスが出発するので、14:30にはシャワーを浴びて帰りの支度を始めていたので、ちょっと忙しく感じました。

Watching the dolphins swim in a group, I could see the sand on the ocean floor clearly, and it was very beautiful. They also guided us to a spot where we could see sea turtles well, and the guide made sure to check in with each person to see if they could see everything, which I found impressive for the attention to detail in their service.

イルカが群れで泳ぐ姿を眺めると、海底の砂までよく見えて、とても綺麗でした。ウミガメもよく見えるスポットに案内してくださり、また、ガイドさんがひとりひとりにちゃんと見えたか声をかけていて、きめ細かなサービスに感心しました。

I had a great time. The bus was comfortable. However, there weren't enough lifeguards at the pool, and not all the slides were open the entire time. This might be typical in America... but it was still a very enjoyable day.

とても楽しかったです。
バスも快適でした。
ただ　プールの監視員の人数が足りておらず、全てのスライダー　ずっとは営業していませんでした。これがアメリカならでは・・・かもしれませんが。　でもとても楽しい一日でした。

I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.

イルカに会えなかったけれども…
楽しめました。
私は、フラダンスを習っていた事もあり、船上でフラダンスを踊ってくれたのは、嬉しかったです。
イルカにを探している間、船上で楽しい時間を過ごせるよう、盛り上げてくれたのも良かったです。
海から上がり、濡れた身体で風を受けると、寒く震えている方もいましたのでウエットスーツを借りて良かったですが…少しキツかったので、長い時間船上で過ごしていると苦しかったです。もうひとサイズあげてもらえば良かったと…少し後悔。
誰か、船上にバナナを持ち込んでいたのかしら？
次回も、チャレンジして見ます。

The tour staff were very helpful in setting up the parasols. The kids were extremely excited. There are so many types of water slides that even parents can enjoy. For some reason, iced coffee was not available for sale.

ツアーの方が丁寧にパラソルの設定など協力してくださいました。子どもは、大興奮でした。とにかくウオータースライダーの種類が多く、親も楽しめます。食事は、なぜかアイスコーヒーが販売されていませんでした。

The facility was not as spacious as I had expected, and I didn't enjoy it much for the price.

First, the person who came to pick us up seemed to have a limited understanding of the booking details. We had requested a cabana as an option, but when we asked for confirmation, they told us to inquire on-site. Additionally, we weren't given detailed explanations; before getting on the bus, we were given colored tape for our wrists according to our course. However, our booked course was not mentioned, and the tape we received was a standard one that didn't indicate anything. Since we had unlimited soft drinks, we found it strange, but before entering the facility, we received a cabana reservation ticket from someone who seemed to be from the tour company, so we thought it would be fine to enter.

When lunchtime came, I looked for any signs indicating unlimited drinks but couldn't find any, and I couldn't locate anyone from the tour company. Eventually, about an hour before our departure, I found someone who seemed to be from the tour company and confirmed that we were on a course that didn't include anything. When I showed them a copy of the booking form, they finally acknowledged it was the company's mistake and changed the tape to a different color. However, even after they made it unlimited drinks, there was hardly any time left to enjoy it.

I wonder if there are people from the tour company stationed within the facility, and if so, where they are. I would like clearer signage. Also, it was difficult to distinguish between those who were simply working at the pool and those who were from the tour company; they all looked quite similar.

Considering all of this, it was quite an expensive tour. I don't think I will go again.

施設は思っていたより広くなく、料金の割にあまり楽しめなかった。
まず、お迎えに来た方が、申し込み内容をあまり理解していないようでした。
私たちは、カバナをオプションで申し込んでいたので、確認をしたがわからないので、
現地で聞いてくれと。また、詳しいことは説明されず、バスに乗る前にコーズごとに色分けされたテープを腕にまかれます。内容はバズの仲でコースごとに色分けの説明がテープでながれますが、私たちの申し込んだコースが案内されず、巻かれたテープは何もつかないスタンダードのものでした。私たちは、ソフトドリンク飲み放題でしたので変だなと思っておりましたが、施設に入場する前に、スアー会社らしき人からカバナの予約チケットをいただけたのでまずは良いかと、入場しました。
お昼になり、飲み放題の表示等がないか探したが見つからず、がツアー会社のひとも見当たらず結局帰る時間の1時間位前にツアー会社らしき人をみつけ確認したら、何もつかないコースになっているといわれ、申し込み用紙のコピーを見せて初めて会社のミスですとテープを別の色に巻き直してくれました。帰るマジかで飲み放題にしてもらってもほとんど飲む時間がありませんでした。
施設の仲に、ツアー会社の人が常駐しているのか、またいるのならどこに居るのか。表示を
きちんとしてほしです。また、単なるプールで働いている人なのか、ツアー会社のひとなのか
全く見分けがつかず、おぼしき人ばかりでした。

この事を含め、かなり高いツアーだったと。二回目はないとおもいます。

I made a last-minute reservation upon arriving in Hawaii, but the response was quick, and I was able to participate smoothly! The pick-up was also guided very politely, which was great. I joined the plan with unlimited soft drinks, and since it was quite hot, I was glad I chose that option. The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and there were attractions that you can't easily experience in Japan.

ハワイ現地に着いて急きょ予約しましたが、対応が早く、スムーズに参加できました！pick upも丁寧に案内してくれたので良かったです。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題のプランでさんかしましたが、かなり暑かったので飲み放題プランにして良かったです。プール施設内もとても楽しく日本ではなかなか体験できないアトラクションもありました。

The weather was nice, and I was looking forward to it, but for some reason, I couldn't see any dolphins. The staff seemed a bit disappointed too. However, all the staff were very kind, and since they spoke Japanese, I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

I will try again next time! Thank you!

お天気も良く、期待していましたが、なぜかイルカにあえませんでした。
スタッフの方も少しがっかりしてたようです。
でも、スタッフの方は、みんなやさしく、日本語も通じたので
安心してツアーに参加できました。

次回またチャレンジします！
ありがとうございました

They were very considerate, and both the wallet and the service were gentle and comfortable.

However, the bus pickup was difficult as I wasn't called out, and the signs were hard to understand, making it challenging to find.

いろいろな配慮をしてくださり
お財布も対応も優しく快適でした

ただ、バスの迎えが声をかけてもらえず
印も分かりづらく探すのが大変でした

We had Bob take us out to the west coast for the day, he was super knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii and provided a great cultural insight Into the lifestyle of the people.

We visited a magnificent cave, and several picturesque locations, followed up with a snorkel that was really appropriate to our skill level (intermediate).

He took plenty of pictures for us, and it was good to know that the tour went ahead regardless of numbers.

Fantastic day, best one of the holiday yet!

I arranged for entrance tickets and cabana rental.
I drove to the location with a rental car.
The sunlight in July was strong, so having a cabana was great. There were several types of pools, suitable for everyone from babies to adults.
Outside food is not allowed, so I bought a pizza on-site. It costs about $25 for one, but it's large enough to share among several people.

入場券とカバナレンタルを手配。
現地まではレンタカーで行きました。
7月の日差しは強くカバナがあってよかったです。プールは何種類もあり、下は赤ちゃんから上は成人まで遊べるようになっていました。
食事は持ち込み禁止なので、現地でピザを購入。1枚$25ぐらいですが数人でシェアできる大きさです

The pickup bus did not arrive even after 10 minutes, and just as I was inquiring by phone, it finally showed up. It was a larger bus than I expected, similar to a sightseeing bus. There was a sign in front, but it was a bit hard to read. Since the phone support was in English, those who only speak Japanese might feel a little worried if the bus doesn't arrive.

We arrived at 10:30, right when it opened. Since we had children and grandparents with us, we rented a cabana, which was very nice. The staff for lunch helped us purchase food, so we could eat without waiting in line, while the grandparents enjoyed watching their grandchildren. It’s a bit pricey, but I recommend the cabana for those with small babies or elderly family members.

My 5-year-old daughter played in the kids' area, while my 3rd-grade son was riding the slides non-stop. It was crowded on Saturday, but we waited about 30 to 40 minutes in line for the Ohana Highway in the morning (I think we lined up during the busiest time). The slide had a wait time of about 3 to 5 minutes. If possible, those riding the slides should wear non-slip sandals (water shoes). When you ride the slide, you have to take off your sandals while waiting, and the ground gets very hot on your feet. Those wearing water shoes were able to ride without taking them off.

お迎えのバスは１０分すぎてもこず、電話で問い合わせしている時に
ちょうどきました。
観光バスの大きさで、予想より大きいバスでした。
前にプレート出てましたが、少しわかりにくいです。
電話が英語の対応なので、日本語しかしゃべれない方はバスがこない場合少し心配です。

子供たちとおばあちゃん、おじいちゃんもいたので
カバナを借りました。とてもよかったです。

I participated in a monitor tour in July 2017, and to sum it up, it was definitely the right choice! The photos are small since they were taken from outside, but I actually got to dive and swim with dolphins, and I also encountered stingrays! The sea turtles were swimming slowly, so I got to play alongside them (ﾟωﾟ). This is something you can't do on your own, so I think that's the charm of the tour.

However, since you don't go out too far, if you're mainly thinking about coral and colorful fish, you might be a little disappointed. Also, depending on the weather, the visibility can sometimes be low. It seemed particularly beautiful on the day I went, but since this is nature, there's not much you can do about it.

The staff operating the tour were all very kind, and I truly believe that even those who are anxious about swimming can have a great time! I think this is a recommended activity for anyone considering a marine tour.

2017年の7月にモニターツアーとして参加しましが、結論から言うと大正解でした！
写真は外からなので小さいですが、実際に潜ってイルカと一緒に泳げましたし、エイにも会えました
！ウミガメはゆっくり泳いでたので、隣で一緒に遊泳しました(ﾟωﾟ)これは個人でできることではないので、ツアーの魅力かと思います

ただ、あまり沖に出ないので、サンゴとかカラフルなお魚をメインに考えてると、少しがっかりかもしれません。また、天気によっては透明度が低い時もあるみたいです。本日は特に綺麗だったみたいですが、こればかりは自然が相手なので仕方ないですけどね

当日大学を運営しているスタッフの方も親切な方ばかりで、泳ぎに不安のある方も本当に楽しめると思います！
マリンツアーを迷っている方にはオススメのアティビティだと思います
