All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

It was my first round of golf in 20 years, and while my score was terrible, the weather was nice and I was able to play comfortably. There weren't too many players, so we could play leisurely as a couple, which made for a wonderful memory! It was our first time playing together since our honeymoon 20 years ago (＾◇＾). I hope we can come back to Hawaii and play again, but I wonder if we will be able to... I really want to!

私にとっては20年ぶりのコースラウンドでスコアこそボロボロでしたが、天気も良く気持ちよくプレイできました。
プレイヤーもそんなに多くなく焦る事もなく、ゆったりと夫婦二人でプレイでき
とてもいい思い出になりました！
二人で回るのも新婚旅行依頼20年ぶり（＾◇＾）
またハワイに来てプレイできたらいいな～と思いますが、
また来れるかな・・・
来たいな～

This time, I went for the first time with my daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly in the morning, but it warmed up in the afternoon, and we were able to fully enjoy the water park! Looking at the map, it seemed very large, and I thought we definitely wouldn't be able to cover it all in the time we had, but in reality, it was just the right size, and we managed to experience almost all the slides. I think it was also because it was a weekday.

There are many slides for two or more people, so the whole family can enjoy it! However, since one staff member manages several slides, they pause and start every 30 minutes. I found this system a bit inconvenient. Because people tend to concentrate on the open slides, I think it can get quite crowded during peak times. I recommend going on a weekday. However, it's much less crowded compared to Japan, so if you have time to spare, it's worth going!

We had about four hours of actual playtime, and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest! I think I'll try to go again if I have the chance.

今回は娘と2人で初めて行ってみました。
あいにくのお天気で午前中はかなり肌寒かったですが午後には暖かくなり、ウォーターパークを満喫することが出来ました！
地図を見るとかなり広〜く見え、絶対に時間内では回りきれないなぁと思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良い位の広さでほぼスライダーなどは制覇出来ました。平日だったからということもあるかと思いま
す。
2人乗り以上のスライダーが多いので家族全員で楽しめるかと...！ただ、幾つかのスライダーを係員1人で掛け持ちしているため、30分ごとにスライダーが休止になったり始まったりします。このシステムは少し面倒だなぁと感じました。開いているスライダーに人が集中するため、混んでいる時期はかなり並ぶかと思います。行くなら平日がオススメです。ただ日本とは比べ物にならない位空いているので、時間に余裕のある方は行く価値あります！
実際に遊べる時間は4時間位でしたが、存分に楽しむことが出来ました！また機会があったら行ってみようと思います。

We arrived in about an hour by bus from the Hyatt Regency Hotel! It can get cold on the bus, so having a light jacket would be a good idea. We were fast asleep, so we arrived in no time. Since we got there right when it opened, it was quite empty, and we were able to experience all the attractions without waiting in line at all. I've heard that going on a weekday is less crowded.

The attractions open every 30 minutes in rotation, so it’s a good idea to check when the ones you want to ride will be operating. Meals like hamburgers and yakisoba are sold for about $11, and the taste was average. Drinks are expensive, so it's better to bring your own, but be careful as you can only bring one unopened bottle of water per person.

Lockers are a bit pricey at $13, so I just carried my valuables and left them on the free beach beds without any issues. Unlike pools in Japan, the slides were the main attraction, and the thrill was completely different! Some of them were even similar to roller coasters! It's an experience you can only have overseas, so I think it's definitely worth going!

ハイアットリージェンシーホテルから、バスに乗って約1時間で到着しました！
バスの中が寒いので羽織り物があるといいかと思います。
私たちは爆睡していたので、あっという間に到着しました。
オープンと同時に到着したのでガラガラで、全然並ばずに全てのアトラクションを体験できました。
平日に行った方が空いているそうです。
アトラクションは30分おきに交代でオープンするので、乗りたいものが何時から動くのかはチェックしておくといいと思います。
食事はハンバーガー、焼きそばなどが約11ドルくらいで販売しており味は普通でした。
飲み物が高いですが持っていった方がいいですが、未開封の水を1人1本までしか持ち込めないのでお気をつけください。
ロッカーが13ドルと少し高いので貴重品だけ身につけて、無料のビーチベッドに置いておきましたが問題ありませんでした。
日本のプールと違いスライダーがメインで、迫力が全然違いました！
どちらかというとジェットコースターに近いものもありました！
海外でしか経験できないので行く価値ありだと思います！

The activities, dancing, and MC were very good. The food, however was just average. I have been to several luau before all of which had a better food selection.

It was not crowded since it was a weekday. The food stalls and slides had only a short line, so we were able to enjoy a lot within the time we had! The smoking area was conveniently located and easy to find, which was appreciated by smokers. The lifeguards were attentive, blowing whistles to warn running children and monitoring the lines for the slides. I felt it was stricter in that regard compared to pools in Japan, which made me feel safer.

平日なので空いていました。
食べ物の売店もスライダーもわずかな列でしたので時間内たくさん楽しめました！
喫煙者にもありがたい、わかりやすく近い喫煙所でした。
ライフガードの方々が笛を鳴らして走る子供達を注意したり、スライダーの整列を見張っていらっしゃって、日本のプールよりもその点厳しく、安心だと思いました。

We didn't get to SNUBA due to the conditions on the water; however, the trip was fantastic, the crew was very very friendly as well as experienced. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

One of the highlights of this trip was Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii! Since my 9-year-old was looking forward to it, we chose an all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch plan that allowed us to navigate efficiently.

I took everyone's advice and prepared for the cold on the bus, but it was incredibly chilly. On the way back, I asked them to raise the temperature a bit, and they did.

There are lockers available in various sizes; we used a large one and paid $18. Credit cards are accepted.

From the map and scale I researched beforehand, I thought the pool would be grand in size, but surprisingly, it seemed manageable in a day. My son loved the wave pool and went in multiple times.

There were lifeguards at the wave pool, and they measured the height of small children, directing those who didn't meet the requirements to the kids' pool.

The all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch was a light buffet-style meal. However, not all food booths were open, and there were lines during lunchtime, so I was glad we opted for the all-inclusive plan. Alcohol is also available for purchase. You need to show a copy of your passport or ID for verification, and they put a wristband on you. However, you can only buy one drink at a time.

I was looking forward to the bodyboarding lesson, which was scheduled for both morning and afternoon, but only the afternoon session took place. I thought we would get some instruction on how to ride the board, but when the time came, we were just handed the boards and left to play in the waves until the time was up. My child seemed to enjoy it, though.

Since we didn't experience any intense attractions this time, I hope to enjoy some rides on our next visit.

今回の旅行の目玉の１つでもあったウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ！
子供（９歳）も楽しみにしてたので、効率よく回れるBBQランチ食べ放題プランをチョイスしました。
バスは皆さんの書き込みを参考にして寒さ対策をしてたのですが半端なく寒くて、帰りのバスでは少し温度を上げてもらうようお願いしたところ、あげてくれました。
ロッカーは大小あり、私たちは大サイズを利用し１８＄払いました。クレジットもOKです。
事前に調べた際の地図や規模から壮大なスケールのプールかと思いきや、意外と一日で回れちゃいそうでした。息子は波のプールがお気に入りで何度も入っていました。
波のプールは監視員さんがいて小さい子が入る際は身長をはかり条件に満たないとキッズプールにいくように指示していたみたいです。
BBQランチ食べ放題はバイキング形式の軽いものでした。でも食べ物を買うブースは全てオープンしてなくて昼時は行列が出来てたので全て込みのプランでよかったと思いました。
アルコールも買えます。パスポート等のコピーを見せてIDを確認しリストバンドを手首に巻いてくれます。ただ、１回につき１本しか買えません。
楽しみにしていたボディボードレッスンは午前・午後の２回予定されてましたが、午後の1回のみでした。レッスンとあったので乗り方を誰かに教えてもらえる♪と思ってたのですが、時間になるとボードを渡されて時間まで各自勝手に波と戯れて終わりでした。子供は楽しかったようです。
今回は激しいアトラクションは全く体験していなかったので次回はアトラクションを楽しみたいです。

We participated with my child and my daughter. There are many types of slides, but considering the number of times we could slide and the cost, I feel like it might not have been worth it to slide in Hawaii. My daughter said she had fun.
We arrived right when the park opened and entered. First, we stored our belongings in a locker. There are large and small sizes, but I wasn't sure about the size, so I chose a large one, but a small one might have been fine. Alternatively, since we didn't have any valuable items, we could have just left them in the shade.
The staff member was managing two slides and moved between them every 30 minutes, so one of the slides was closed at any given time. Also, when they opened the slides every 30 minutes, there was a line, and we couldn't ride immediately. Some slides had only two or three tubes, and I thought that if there were more tubes, the turnover rate might improve. Just before we were about to leave, we were in line to ride the Shaka, but around 2:40 PM, a staff member came and said it would be closed for about 15 minutes for inspection or something. Since we wouldn't make it back in time for the 3:15 PM bus, we had to give up and leave after waiting in line for about 15 minutes. Also, the concrete gets hot, and wearing flip-flops can be a hassle when riding the slides. I wish I had brought water shoes.

子供と親娘2人で参加しました。スライダーは沢山種類がありますが、滑れた本数とコストから考えると、ハワイでわざわざ滑らなくてもよかったかな～というのが親の感想。娘は楽しかった、と言ってます。
開園丁度に到着し、入園。 まずはロッカーに荷物を預けました。large smallとありますが、サイズ感が分からず大きいのを選びましたが、小さくてもよかったかな。若しくは大した貴重品もなかったので、木陰に置いててもよかったかな。という感じです。
スライダーは、係員の人が二つのスライダーを掛け持ちしていて、二つのスライダーを30分毎に移動します。なので、二つのうちどちらかが閉まっています。また、30分毎にスライダーを開ける時には、列ができておりすぐに乗れない状態です。中には、チューブが2、3個しかないものもありもう少しチューブの数があれば回転率は上がるかもしれないと思いました。帰る直前にshakaに乗ろうと並んでいましたが、2時40分頃に係員がきて、検査だかなんだかで15分くらいクローズする、と言われました。3時15分の帰りのバスの集合時間に間に合わなくなるため、折角15分位並んでいましたが、諦めて帰りました。あと、コンクリートが熱くなっていますか、スライダーに乗るときビーサンだと邪魔になります。ビーチシューズを持って来れば良かったと思いました。

Good service and good experience with both Dolphin Watch & Snorkel. I would give 5 star if they had a pro photo services.

Had a fun day out at the water park. The rides are fun and the staff are friendly.

This was hands down our favorite excursion on the island! Fantastic Crew, great food, fun music, great snorkeling, and lovely boat ride. We went with my mom and our 5 year old son. Both of them chose not to snorkel and still had a blast. Extra bonus, they have a photographer who took tons of photos (even underwater!) at the cost of $40 for the entire flash drive. Really great time! Highly recommend!! We will be back :-)

Last year, I graduated from Dolphin Middle School, and since I had such a great time, I enrolled in college this year. The staff member Emi was very cheerful and energetic, full of adrenaline from early in the morning. After listening to the safety briefing, we arrived at Waianae Boat Harbor in about an hour.

As we boarded the boat and headed north, we encountered dolphins multiple times. We could see them jumping and spinning in the distance, playing energetically, which heightened our expectations. Before long, we reached the dolphin point and jumped into the sea.

Following closely behind the staff, a spinner dolphin swam right past us! I was so surprised that I didn't have time to take a photo. The dolphins quickly disappeared, so it seemed many people missed seeing them.

We quickly moved to another point by boat, heading further north along the west coast. When we got the go-ahead to jump into the water, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! Dozens of them were swimming below and surfacing for air. We could even hear their calls.

Several pods came alternately, so it seemed everyone on the tour was able to see them this time. We even had time to take photos. The pictures included here were taken with a compact camera.

After the dolphin lesson concluded and we were about to leave the point, the dolphins came to say goodbye! They swam close to the boat and stayed with us for a while. It was incredibly moving!

Next, we headed to the turtle professor's point. As soon as we arrived, the turtle professor came to greet us. We were really lucky on this tour!

After that, we swam with many colorful tropical fish, tried stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and jumped into the sea. We attempted stand-up paddleboarding, but it was challenging to stand and paddle. Although it was a short time, I was very satisfied since I had wanted to try it at least once.

By this time, we were all very hungry. It was the perfect timing for lunch. We had cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice.

Finally, we danced the hula with the staff and graduated safely! We received graduation souvenirs. There were a few small kids around ten years old, but they seemed to be swimming hard. They received a special reward at the end.

On the way back, I heard voices saying, "That was great!" Whether or not you see dolphins can make a difference, but I was truly satisfied and would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Above all, the staff were bright and energetic! Always positive!

昨年イルカ中学を卒業し、とても楽しかったので、今年は大学に入学しました。
とても明るく元気なスタッフえみさん、早朝からアドレナリン全開です。一通りの注意事項を聞いて、1時間ほどでワイアナエボートハーバーに到着。
ボートに乗り込みしばらく北へ進む途中、何度もイルカに遭遇。遠くの方でジャンプしたりスピンしたりと元気に遊んでいる様子を見ることができ、期待が高まります。
そうこうしているうちにイルカポイントに到着。急いで海に飛び込みます。
スタッフさんのすぐ後ろについていると、目の前すぐ近くをハシナガイルカが通り過ぎて行きました！ビックリして写真を撮る間がありませんでした。
イルカはあっという間にどこかへ行ってしまったので、見逃した人も多かったようです。
すぐにボートで別ポイントに移動。西海岸をさらに北へ進みます。
GOサインが出て海に飛び込むと、今度はイルカの大きな群れが！！数十頭の群れが、下の方を泳いでいたり、息継ぎのために上に上がってきたり。鳴き声を聞くこともできました。
群れも幾つかが交互にやってきてくれたので、今回はツアーのみんなが見ることができたようです。写真を撮る余裕もありました。掲載の写真はコンデジで撮ったものです。
イルカ先生の授業が終わり、ポイントを離れようとした時、なんとイルカ先生がお別れのご挨拶に来てくれました。ボートのすぐ近くまで来て、しばらく一緒に泳いでくれていました。大感激！
次はカメ教授のポイントへ。着いて早々、カメ教授がご挨拶に来てくれました。今日のツアーは本当にラッキー！！
その後はたくさんの色とりどりの熱帯魚と泳いだり、スタンドアップパドルやカヌー、ジャンプして海に飛び込んだり。私たちはスタンドアップパドルに挑戦しましたが、立つことも難しく立ってから漕ぐのも大変。短い時間でしたが一度やってみたかったので大満足です。
この頃にはお腹ぺこぺこ。良いタイミングで給食の時期です。チーズバーガーとスナックとジュースをいただきました。
最後にスタッフのみなさんとフラダンスを踊って、
無事卒業！卒業記念品をいただきました。10歳くらいの小さい子も何人かいたけど、頑張って泳いでいたようです。最後に特別なご褒美をもらっていました。
帰り道「良かったね〜」って声が口々に聞こえてきました。イルカに会えるかどうかにもよりますが、本当に大満足、みんなにおすすめしたいツアーです。何よりスタッフさんが明るくて元気！いつも前向き！

I was able to enjoy various water slides. The crowd was mostly families, and it started to get quite crowded around noon. At first, I could slide down the water slides right away, but as it got busier, I ended up waiting almost an hour, and time flew by quickly.

I wished I had a bit more time to stay, and I was a bit disappointed that the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong, making it quite cold.

色々なウォータースライダーを楽しめました。客層は家族連れが多く、昼頃になるとかなり混み始めました。初めのうちはすぐウォータースライダーを滑ることができたのですが、混み始めると１時間近く待つほどになってしまい、時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした。

もう少し滞在時間が欲しいなと思ったのと、送迎のバスの冷房が効きすぎてかなり寒かったのでそこだけ残念でした。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff were very friendly, and I had a great time. The snorkeling was truly refreshing, and it was amazing to swim alongside a pod of dolphins. I also saw sea turtles swimming happily, and there were many beautifully colored fish; everything felt like a different world. I want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii!

一人参加だってので、少々不安もありましたが
スタッフのみなさんごとてもフレンドリーで、とても楽しめました。
シュノーケル、本当に気持ちよくて
泳いでるそばをイルカの群れも一緒に進んでくれて最高でした。
ホヌも気持ち良さそうに泳いでるいるし、色のキレイな魚たちもたくさんいて、何もかもが別世界のようでした。
次回ハワイに行ったらまた参加したいです‼

It's something you wouldn't expect from attractions in Japan, but it was enjoyable without being too dangerous. It was great! I wish they would operate for a bit longer. I enjoyed Tornado multiple times.

日本のアトラクションの規格では考えられないけど、危険過ぎることはなく楽しめた。良かった!もう少し長い時間営業して欲しいかな。Tornadoは何度も楽しめました。

Captain Randy and crew were awesome. We went out on March 21 and had a blast. His team was very professional, and Doug was very thorough with us newby snuba divers.

Since this was my first time in Hawaii and I was staying at Aulani, I signed up for this tour because it was affordable and included transportation. We participated as a group of four adults and three children (ages 7, 3, and 1). It seemed that we were the only Japanese family among about ten other guests.

Our guide was a second-generation Japanese American, and after explaining in English, he also provided explanations in Japanese, which was very helpful. Shortly after we set sail, we were lucky enough to spot two turtles on the surface of the water! The guide mentioned they might be dead, but they were alive, and both the kids and adults got really excited. A little later, the guide shouted, and when we went out to the deck, we saw a whale spouting water and lifting its tail. We even got to witness a spectacular jump from one of the whales!! We also saw whales seemingly communicating with each other by blowing saltwater. I had heard that there are days when you might not see any whales, so I went with half-hearted expectations and half hope, but I never imagined we would see a jump, so it was truly amazing. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

初めてのハワイでアウラニに宿泊するので、送迎付きで安かったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。大人４人、子供３人（７歳、３歳、１歳）で参加しました。ガイドが英語となっているだけあってか、日本人はうちのファミリーのみでほか１０名ほどほかのお客さんと一緒でした。
ガイドさんが、日系２世の方で、英語での説明の後に日本語でも説明してくれてとても助かりました。出航後すぐ、偶然にもカメ２匹が海面に！死んでいるかもしれないとのガイドさんの言葉でしたが、生きていて子供たちも大人もテンションが上がりました。少しするとガイドさんが叫び、デッキへ出てみるとクジラが潮を吹いたり、尾ひれをあげたりとしていました。１頭の、豪快なジャンプも見ることができました！！その後も塩を吹いてクジラ同士が会話をしているような姿も見ることができました。クジラを見れない日もあるとのことで、半分あきらめと半分期待で行きましたが、まさかジャンプまで見れるとは思ってもいなかったのでとってもよかったです。またハワイに行くことがあったらまた参加したいです。

I participated in early January. It was a cold time with rough waves, so I was worried about seasickness and the cold, but I’m really glad I referred to the reviews. I wore a long-sleeve hoodie and took motion sickness medication the day before.

Most of the women who participated looked very uncomfortable due to seasickness. It seems essential to take motion sickness medication. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! I was also lucky enough to witness a whale jump, which is unique to this season, and the cruise in nature was very healing. The hamburger was delicious too! There was also a hula show by the crew, making it a very satisfying activity!

１月上旬に参加しました。寒く波も荒い時期でしたので、船酔いと寒さが心配でしたが、口コミを参考にして本当によかったです。長袖パーカーと酔い止めを前日から服用して参加しました。
参加した女性のほとんどが、船酔いでとても辛そうでした。酔い止めは必ず服用した方が良さそうです。イルカ、海亀をみることが出来ました！この時期ならではクジラのジャンプも運よく見れて、大自然の中のクルーズ癒されました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです！クルーの方のフラショーもあり、大満足なアクティビティーでした！

I signed up for an all-inclusive plan. The basic explanation was quite vague. As soon as we got on the bus, there was an intense cold and the explanation audio started playing. It's essential to prepare for the cold.

The schedule mentioned two bodyboarding lessons, but in reality, there was only one. I wasn't expecting much from this bodyboarding lesson, but it turned out to be incredibly fun. It seemed to be a lesson exclusive to plan participants, and the number of people was just right, allowing us to fully enjoy it. My child even said, "I'm glad we came!"

Although I didn't drink much from the unlimited drinks, it was good to have since outside food and drinks were prohibited (only one unopened bottle of water was allowed), and carrying cash was inconvenient. It was also a good decision to sign up for the all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch. It was delicious, and since the eating area was predetermined, there were no hassles with waiting in line to purchase or securing a spot to eat.

The shower and toilet were in the same area, which wasn't very hygienic. There wasn't even a curtain in the shower. The changing room only had simple curtains, and there were only two or three of them. Since the return time is set, I recommend changing clothes early.

You might think, "A pool in Hawaii?!" but I highly recommend it. I also recommend signing up for the all-inclusive plan.

全て込みのプランを申し込みました。

I have done snorkeling and diving many times in the past, but I had never experienced swimming with wild dolphins, so I decided to join this tour. The reason I chose this tour was that I read in the reviews that the staff seemed energetic and fun. In the end, choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

Whether or not we would see dolphins and how many there would be depended on the season and luck, but thanks to the experienced captain searching for the right spots and the staff guiding us diligently, we were able to see many dolphins. We were lucky enough to encounter a rare large pod of nearly 100 dolphins swimming slowly, allowing us to see them up close and swim alongside them, which was incredibly moving!

We boarded the tour bus very early in the morning. I was a bit anxious about finding my pickup location (Sheraton) since it was a large gathering spot for various tours, but the welcoming staff were very energetic and had loud voices, so it was fine. Inside the bus, the chairperson, Julie, began the morning briefing. She explained everything enthusiastically, leaving no time for anyone to doze off, which actually heightened my excitement.

This time, we searched for dolphin spots and traveled quite far north along the west coast, so we spent a considerable amount of time on the boat. The boat did sway quite a bit, but since I took motion sickness medication, I didn’t feel sick; however, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. On the way to the spot, we saw a few sea turtles from the boat.

I participated in March when the seawater was quite cold, so I wore a wetsuit, which can be rented on-site for $10 (cash only). Besides the cold, there’s also a risk of jellyfish stings, so I recommend wearing one if possible. Most participants on this tour were wearing wetsuits as well. It can get chilly on the boat after snorkeling, so it’s a good idea to bring something to cover up and a towel.

When we arrived at the spot, there were so many dolphins swimming in a pod that it was immediately noticeable. Following the staff's guidance, we swam towards the moving pod and saw many dolphins underwater! The water was clear, and the weather was good, so we could see them clearly, which was fantastic. We were also lucky to see them jumping and spinning multiple times. Since there was a considerable number of dolphins, I believe everyone got to see them, but to increase your chances of seeing them properly, it's best to stay close to the staff and follow their instructions. After a while, we briefly returned to the boat to change locations, but the previous pod came back to the same spot, so we jumped back into the water right away.

Overall, I think we were able to swim with the dolphins for a long time. However, because of that, the time for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling was shortened, and we spent only about 15-30 minutes at the new spot, which was a bit disappointing. We didn’t see any sea turtles while snorkeling, and there weren’t many fish either. Still, being able to enjoy such a large number of dolphins for a sufficient amount of time was more than enough to satisfy me.

On the return boat ride, we were served cheeseburgers and drinks, and we all danced the hula, making it enjoyable until the end. I was very happy to receive a group photo taken on the boat later via email.

Overall, I thought the staff's response was very smooth, and the tour content was well-organized without any wasted time. Their desire for everyone to see and enjoy the dolphins was evident.

It was an emotional experience and became the highlight of my trip. Thank you very much! If I go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

シュノーケリングやダイビングは過去に何度もやったことがありましたが、野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐというのは今まで体験したことがなかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
こちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、体験談の口コミでスタッフの方が元気で楽しそうなところがいいなと思ったからです。
結果として、こちらのツアーを選んで大正解でした！

イルカに会えるかどうか、どのくらいの数がいるかどうかなどは、季節や運などに左右されてしまいますが、ベテラン船長がポイントを探してスタッフの方が一生懸命誘導してくれたので、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
運よくめったにない100匹近い大群がゆっくり泳いでいるところに出会えたので、一緒に泳いだと言えるほど近くでゆっくりイルカを見ることができとても感動しました！！

朝とても早い時間にツアーバスに乗り込みます。私がピックアップしてもらった場所(シェラトン)は、とても大きいツアー集合場所でいろいろなツアーの方がたくさんいたので、見つけられるか少し不安になりましたが、迎えのスタッフの方がとても元気で声が大きかったので(笑)大丈夫でした。
バスの中では委員長ジュリーさんの朝礼が始まります。元気いっぱいにいろいろ説明をしてくれて眠る隙は全くありませんでした(笑)逆に期待に気持ちが高まりました。

今回はイルカのポイントを探して、西海岸のかなり北の方まで行ったのでボートの乗っている時間が結構長かったです。ボートはやはり結構揺れるので、私は酔い止めを飲んでいたせいか酔いませんでしたが、酔い止めは必須だと思います。
ポイントに向かうまでの間に、ボートから何匹かウミガメを見ました。

私が参加したのは3月で海水が結構冷たかったので、ウェットスーツを着用しました。その場で$10(現金のみ)で借りることができます。寒さもそうですが、クラゲなどに刺されたりすることもあるそうなのでできたら着用することをおすすめします。今回のツアーでもほとんどの方が着ていました。
シュノーケル後など、船上では寒いこともあるので、羽織れるものとタオルは持って行った方がいいです。

ポイントに着くと、すぐに分かるくらいたくさんの数のイルカが群れになって泳いでいました。スタッフの方の誘導でイルカの群れが動く方に泳いで行き、海の中を見るとたくさんのイルカが見れました！水の透明度も高く天気もよかったためかはっきりと見えてとてもよかったです。しかもスピンしながらジャンプする姿も何度も見れてとてもラッキーでした。
今回はかなりの数のイルカの群れだったので参加者全員見れたと思いますが、ちゃんと見るチャンスを増やすにはなるべくスタッフの方の近くにいてその指示に従って行動するのがいいと思います。
その後一旦ボートに上がってポイントを変えようとしましたが、先程の群れがまた同じ場所に戻ってきたため、またすぐに海に飛び込びました。

トータルするとかなり長い時間、イルカを見ながら泳ぐことができたと思います。ただそのため、その後のカヤック、パドルボード、シュノーケリングの時間が短くなってしまいボートであまり移動せずその場で15～30分程度だったのが、少し残念でした。シュノーケルではウミガメは見れずお魚もあまりいませんでした。
ただ、あれだけの数のイルカをゆっくり十分な時間堪能できたので、それだけで十分満足しました。

帰りの船では、チーズバーガーや飲み物のサービス、みんなでフラを踊り、最後まで楽しませて頂きました。最後にみんなで船上で撮った集合写真を後でメールで送っていただくことができたので、とてもうれしかったです。

全体的にスタッフの方々の対応がとてもスムーズで、無駄のない良いツアー内容だったと思います。全員にイルカを見てもらおう、楽しんでもらおうという気持ちが伝わってきました。

感動的な体験ができて、旅行中の一番の思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました！またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したいです！！

That day, there happened to be only four participants, so we were able to enjoy a very relaxed experience. The dolphins came close to us in groups multiple times, which was very healing and moving. The instructors were very cheerful and kind; I thought they were all wonderful people. I would love to participate in this tour again.

その日はたまたま４人しか参加者がいなかったこともあり、とってものんびりと満喫することができました。イルカさんたちは群れで何度も近くに寄ってきてくれて、とても癒され、感動しました。インストラクターさんたちはとても明るくて優しく、皆様素敵な方々だなぁと思いました。またこのツアーに参加したいです。

I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins for the first time! The lady on the bus was cheerful and kept talking, which was enjoyable!
We went quite far out on the boat, and as soon as we entered the water at the spot where the dolphins were, we encountered a pod, and it was incredibly moving!
Dolphins aren't that fast, so I was swimming alongside the same dolphin, which took quite a bit of energy. Those who weren't swimming much at the back might not have seen the dolphins as well. I worked hard to swim alongside the dolphins, so I was able to see them many times! I was very satisfied and had a great time on the boat too!

初めてイルカと一緒に泳げるという事でとても楽しみにしていました！バスの中ではお姉さんが明るくずっとお話ししてくれ楽しかったです！
船で結構沖まで行き、イルカがいるポイントで海に入りすぐ群れに遭遇しすごく感動しました！！
イルカはそんなに泳ぐのが早くないので同じイルカについて泳いでいましたので結構体力使います。後ろであまり泳いでいなかった方はイルカをそんなに見れてないかもしれません。私は頑張ってイルカについて泳いでいたので何回も見る事ができました！船でも楽しく大満足でした！！

I visit every time I come to Hawaii, and I love it because I can enjoy the thrilling attractions each time. It's fun for the whole family, so I definitely encourage everyone to participate in this attraction.

The lockers are available for a fee; you insert money into the machine in front of the lockers and enter your PIN twice to automatically receive a locker number. You can access your locker as many times as you want by entering the PIN. I really encourage everyone to join in!

ハワイに来る度に訪れますが、毎回絶叫アトラクションを楽しめるので大好きです。　家族みんなで楽しめるので是非とも皆さんも、このアトラクションには参加をしてください。
ロッカーは、有料制になり、ロッカー前の機械にお金を入れて暗証番号を2度入力すると自動でロッカー番号が割り振れらます。　暗証番号を入れると何度でも出し入れ出来ます。　ぜひぜひ皆さん参加してください！

I participated thinking there would be activities enjoyable for small children. We were able to see whales and turtles! The crew and all the other participants were from English-speaking countries, but we had no trouble enjoying ourselves.

小さい子供連れでも楽しめるアクティビティをと思って参加しました。
クジラもカメも見られました！
クルーも他の参加者もすべて英語圏の方々でしたが、支障なく楽しめました。

During my last trip to Hawaii, I saw this pool from the highway and wanted to visit, so I participated this time. When I arrived, it seemed a bit run-down. The locker fee is $13, which is on the higher side. I think meals were around $12.13, so that's pretty average. There is a small children's pool, so families might enjoy it.

前回ハワイに行った際に、高速道路からこちらのプールが見えて行きたいと思っており、今回参加しました。
到着してみるとなんだか寂れているような、、
ロッカー使用量は13＄と高めです。
食事は12.13＄程度だったと思うので普通ですかね。
小さい子供用プールがあるので家族連れは楽しいかもしれません。

This tour was conducted in English, so there were mostly Westerners.
I could see the spouting in the distance, and although I couldn't capture it in photos, I did catch a glimpse of the head and tail quite close for a moment.
I lowered my rating a bit because I couldn't take photos, but that's not the fault of the tour.
The staff were also very considerate when my daughter felt unwell.

このいツアーは英語のツアーでしたので西洋人がほとんどでした。
遠くに潮吹きが見えたり、写真には残せませんでしたが、
結構近くに一瞬頭やしっぽが見えたりしました。
写真が残せなかったので少し評価をさげましたが、これはツアーの精ではないです。
スタッフも、娘が気分が悪くなった時などは、色々と気を使ってくれました。

Our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon was filled with excitement, and the highlight of our days was definitely this tour. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, and brightly colored fish while snorkeling. We also spotted seals and whales from the boat. It truly felt like a dream. The pineapple and hamburgers we shared were incredibly delicious, making us smile.

Although we were told we could interact with dolphins, I can swim but have never snorkeled before, and I'm a bit clumsy. My husband isn't great at swimming either. Even when everyone else was seeing dolphins, we thought it would be a win if we could just recognize a dolphin shape for a moment. When we ventured further out and reached the middle of the ocean (I heard it was over 30 meters deep), I was filled with anxiety, but the cheerful and energetic staff encouraged me, and I surprisingly jumped into the water first. Underwater, I was overwhelmed by how close and how many dolphins there were, and while I was squealing, I accidentally inhaled water through my nose and my goggles fell off. There were quite a few mishaps, but as I followed the advice to stay close to the staff if I was scared, I really got to see many dolphins and enjoyed myself safely.

There are times when you might not see dolphins, but the staff really works hard, exchanging information with other boats to find them. We also tried our best to look for them, laughing along the way. Since it's nature, whether or not you see dolphins is a matter of luck, but the thrill of searching for dolphins together, the time spent playing with fish like you would see in an aquarium, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and the hula dance will surely become wonderful memories.

Looking at the underwater photos of the dolphins taken by the photographer continues to bring me joy even after returning home. We promised each other that even if we can't find the time on our next trip to Hawaii, we will enroll in Dolphin University again. Thank you for such a fun time!

新婚旅行で行く初めてのハワイ。ワクワクドキドキの毎日のハイライトが、まさにこのツアーでした。シュノーケリングですぐそこに見たイルカ、ウミガメ、鮮やかな色の魚たち。船上から見たアザラシとクジラ。本当に夢のような時間でした。みんなで食べたパイナップルやハンバーガーもとても美味しく感じて思わず笑ってしまいます。
イルカとふれあえるということでしたが、私は泳げるけどシュノーケリングはしたことがないしドンくさいタイプ、夫も水泳が得意ではありません。みんながイルカを見られても、私たちは一瞬イルカの形を認識できたら上等だぐらいに思っていました。沖の方にどんどん進んでいって海のど真ん中にたどり着いたときには（水深30メートル以上あると聞きました）、不安しかなかったですが、明るく元気なスタッフさんに励まされまさかの1番に海に飛び込みました。海の中では、予想を遥かに超えるイルカとの近さと数に圧倒され、キャーキャー言っているあいだに鼻から水を思いっきり吸ったり、ゴーグルが落ちてきたり、まぁいろいろありましたが…「怖かったらスタッフさんの近くにいるといい」と言われた通りにしていると、本当にイルカにたくさん会えたし安心して楽しめました。
イルカになかなか会えないときもあるそうですが、スタッフさんは他の船とも情報交換して本当に一生懸命探してくれます。私たちも一応、一生懸命探します笑
自然相手なのでイルカと会えるかどうかは運次第と思うしかないですが、みんなでドキドキしながらイルカを探す一体感、水族館で見るような魚やカヤック、スタンドアップパドルボードで遊ぶ時間、フラダンスは素敵な思い出になると思います。

カメラマンさんに撮ってもらった水中のイルカの写真を見て、帰国後も癒されています。次ハワイに来て時間がなかなかとれなくても、イルカ大学だけはまた入学しようねと約束しています。本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

My group contained four total myself, husband, sister and her husband. We loved it! I had difficulties in the beginning but was able to get the hang of it after a little while. I wasn't able to go to the total depth due to my ears, but still it was worth it for me. We saw coral reefs and lots a fish. Turtles were in the area just not seen by our group. On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

To see the swimming dolphins, you need to follow the guide, which can be a bit challenging for older adults and small children. If you're at the back of the group, you won't be able to see them, so it's important to stay right behind the guide. After seeing the dolphins, there are also snorkeling and sea kayaking experiences, which made for a very enjoyable time.

泳いでいるイルカを探すため、ガイドについていかないと見れないので、年配の方やチビッコには多少厳しいです。集団の後ろだと見れないので、ガイドのすぐ後ろについていくことが、重要なポイントです。イルカを見た後のシュノーケリングやシーカヤック体験もあり、非常に楽しい体験ができました。

Every time I come to Hawaii, even with the ocean right there, I find myself going to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. The many slides here make the kids really happy. We always ride the slides that can accommodate four family members. I think we'll be coming back again this year.

毎回ハワイに来ると海があるのになぜかウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイにきます。
ここの沢山あるスライダーには子供たちも大喜び。家族４人で乗れるスライダーも毎回乗ってます。また、今年も来ちゃうと思います。
