All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

I participated with four colleagues who were beginners at ziplining, making a group of five. Everyone was a bit nervous at first, but by the third line, we were able to enjoy the flowing scenery and even strike some poses. There was also a course where two people could zipline simultaneously on parallel lines, allowing us to film our fellow zippers, which is a unique feature not found in other places. Two staff members accompanied us and did a great job of enhancing the atmosphere with their upbeat energy.

ジップライン初心者の同僚４人を連れて５名で参加しました。
皆、最初はびびっていましたが、３本目くらいから流れる景色を楽しんだり、ポーズを取ったりする余裕も。並行する２本のラインで２人同時に飛ぶコースもあり、並走者の動画を撮れるのは他の場所にはない仕掛けでした。スタッフ２名が同行してくれて、ノリ良くうまく雰囲気を盛り上げてくれます。

I didn't get seasick, perhaps because there were no waves. I also enjoyed the scenery of Waianae. Since it takes quite a while to navigate to the whale watching point, it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication beforehand. Check-in is just before departure, so if you arrive early, there’s nothing to do while waiting.

波がなかったせいか、船酔いはしませんでした　ワイアナエの景色も堪能
クジラのポイントまではかなり航行しますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んで行った方が良いです
出航間際にチェックインです　早く行くと待ち時間まで何もすることありません

I was not good at entering the sea, or rather, I was scared, so I had never gone underwater. However, I decided to participate while I am still healthy and celebrating my 70th birthday. We encountered a pod of dolphins offshore. I forgot their name, but they were small dolphins, and there were some with their young. After that, I had my first snorkeling experience near the shore. I was taught how to use the equipment and jumped in. Once I got used to my breathing, I felt more relaxed. Unfortunately, I ended up taking out my contact lenses. I was worried about seawater getting into my goggles, but the inside of the goggles didn't fill with seawater. I could see the fish clearly when they came close, but the ones farther away were blurry. Thanks to our guide Ken, I was able to enjoy myself without drowning. I also enjoyed a turkey sandwich and corn chips. Next time, I am thinking of trying snorkeling a little closer to the shore. The boat, the new Poseidon, had a warm shower and the view from the upper deck was fantastic.

海に入るのが苦手というか、怖いのもあり海中に入ることがなかったのですが、古稀を迎えて元気なうちに体験しておこうと参加しました。沖合でイルカの群れに遭遇。名前は忘れましたが小型のイルカで親子連れもいました。そのあと岸の近くで初シュノーケル。使い方を教えてもらい、飛び込みました。息使いになれると余裕も生まれました。残念だったのはコンタクトレンズを外してしまったこと。水中眼鏡に海水が入ることを心配したのですが、眼鏡の中が海水だらけにはなりませんでした。魚が近づいてくるとよく見えるのですが、遠いところの魚はボンヤリ。ガイドのケンさんのおかげで溺れることなく楽しめました。ターキーのサンドイッチ、コーンチップスもおいしくいただきました。今度はもう少し岸に近いところでシュノーケリング体験を考えています。船は新しいポセイドン号で温水シャワーや上部のデッキからの景色が最高でした。

I visited during the off-season. Overall, it was not crowded, and there were plenty of beach beds available. My child was too scared to go on the slides, so it ended up being a bit pricey in terms of cost performance, but I would recommend it if you can enjoy the various types of slides.

The lazy river has a gentler current compared to Japan, so it might feel a bit lacking. The wave pool had so many floaties that they ran out.

A Japanese staff member assisted with entry, which was very helpful and easy to understand.

オフシーズンに利用しました。
全体的に空いていて、ビーチベッドも十分使えました。子どもが怖がってスライダーに行けなかったので、コスパとしては高くつきましたが、いろんな種類のスライダーを楽しめるのならおすすめです。

流れるプールは流れが日本よりもゆったりしているので物足りないかもしれません。波の出るプールは浮き輪が足りなくなるくらいでした。

日本人のスタッフの方が入場のお手伝いをしてくださり、わかりやすかったです。

The transportation and instructors were all local people, but I was able to communicate through gestures and simple English words, which made it enjoyable to participate.

This time, we were the only Japanese people, so I was a bit nervous, but everyone in the same group and the instructors were very friendly, making it a fantastic experience until the end!

送迎もインストラクターも現地の方たちばかりでしたが、ジェスチャーや簡単な英単語でコミュニケーションを取っていただけたので楽しく参加出来ました。

今回、日本人は私たちだけで緊張しましたが、同じグループの方もインストラクターの方もみんなノリが良く最後まで最高でした！

What a great night the staff and cast were so kind. It was very entertaining. My nine-year-old said it was the best night she had in Hawaii highly recommend.

The show was entertaining and the Chief is so funny!!!

The weather was wonderful, and I was lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and turtles. Our guide Yuji, along with Nora and Captain Warren, were all very kind and made the experience enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see several green sea turtles. I was worried about seasickness, but I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, so I didn't have any major issues.

お天気にも恵まれ、幸運にもクジラ·イルカ·カメの全てを観ることができました。
ガイドのYUJIさんをはじめ、ノラさん、ウォーレン船長も皆さん親切で楽しめました。シュノーケルでも、アオウミガメも数匹見られました。船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったので特に問題なかったです。

On the cruise departing from West Oahu at 1:30 PM, our family was the only Japanese participants. The crew only spoke English.

What was great was that we saw whales quite close right after departure, which was lucky. Of course, it wasn't as spectacular as the photos in the advertisements. The crew was friendly and even spoke to us, taking family photos for us. The views from the boat were also fantastic.

A bit disappointing was that we only saw whales three times in the first 30 minutes of the two-hour cruise, and the rest of the time was spent staring at the ocean surface. Considering that there are times when you might not see any whales, I might be being a bit greedy.

With the mindset that seeing whales is just a bonus, I think it would be perfect to enjoy a leisurely cruise off the coast of West Oahu as long as the weather is good.

西オアフから13時30分発の出航のクルーズで参加者の日本人は私たち家族だけでした。クルーも英語しかしゃべりません。
良かったのは、出発してすぐにかなり近くでクジラが見えたこと、これはラッキーでした。もちろん、広告の写真のようにはいきませんが。また、クルーもフレンドリーで日本人の私たちに声をかけてくれて、家族の写真を撮ってくれました。船上からの景色も最高でした。
少し残念だったのは、クジラが見えたのは2時間のクルーズのうち最初の30分くらいに3回だけで、残りは海面と睨めっこで終わったことでしょうか。クジラが見えないこともあるということを思えば、欲張りかもしれませんが。
クジラは見えればラッキーくらいの気持ちで、のんびり西オアフ島沖のクルーズを楽しむには、天候さえ良ければ最高だと思います。

Fabulous show, chief was hilarious as always, and the family loved it! Will come back again!

After the boat departed, we started with snorkeling at a specific point, and then we went out to sea for dolphin watching. The snorkeling time felt long, but for dolphin watching, it was like, "Is this it? Are we going back already?" We did see wild dolphins, but it was during their sleeping time, and it felt too short (laughs). I wonder if we were there for even 10 minutes... It was disappointing. The staff were very nice and made us feel at ease, so it's a shame.

船出発後、ポイント的にシュノーケリングが先でその後沖に出てドルフィンウォッチングしました。シュノーケリング時間は長く感じたのですが、ドルフィンウォッチングはえ、これで終わり？もう帰るの？という感じ。野生のドルフィンは見れてちょうど寝てる時間でしたが、短すぎる(笑)10分もいたかな、、、って感じです。期待はずれ。スタッフの方達はとても良い人たちで安心感もあったので残念です。

There were only two groups of participants, so it was almost a private tour, but it was conducted as planned. I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but there were hardly any waves that day, so I had no issues at all. From the boat, I was able to see the spouts and tails of whales in the distance, and dolphins right next to the boat. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was a very valuable and enjoyable experience. Thank you very much, Yuji!

2組しか参加者がおらずほぼ貸切でしたが催行していただけました。
酔い止めを事前に飲んでいましたがこの日は波が殆どなく全く問題なし。
船上からは遠くにクジラの潮吹きと尻尾、船のすぐそばでイルカを見ることができました。
残念ながらシュノーケルでホヌは見れませんでしたがとても貴重で楽しい経験でした。
YUJIさんどうもありがとうございました！

The performance was outstanding , they were engaging from the moment you walked in and out. The food taste good however was cold with exception to the pork and chicken thighs were hot, but sweet potatoes, noodles and rice were cold and we had Royal package and first in line to eat so I was surprised to have those few items cold, the rolls were so delicious so grab 2

It was cold since we left early in the morning. The bus had the air conditioning on, so it was a good decision to bring a long-sleeved shirt. The cruise was comfortable, and we were able to see sea turtles and whales. It was a pity we didn't see any dolphins, but it was great to see the whales since they are only available in winter!

朝早く出発だったので、寒かったです。
バスも冷房が効いていたので、長袖持っていって正解でした。
クルーズは快適、ウミガメと、クジラが見れました。
イルカは残念でしたが、クジラの方が冬限定なので、見れて良かったです！

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!

Aside from having a very hard time finding the place at the Four Seasons where the program was to take place, we had a wonderful time, learned fascinating information about the night sky and got to be guided through the sky with a powerful telescope. At the end of the session, our astronomer sent us photos of the planets and star clusters that we were able to see.

The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and helpful. Not all of the slides are operational, but I think you can still enjoy some of them. If you're coming by car, please be aware that the parking fee is cash only.

日本語が話せるスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。スライダー系は全てが稼働しているわけではありませんが、一部でも楽しめるかと思います。
車で来る方は駐車料金が現金払いですので気をつけてください。

It was authentic and highly entertaining, and my 6-year-old daughter was very happy. It was the best luau I've seen so far. I will go again next year. The food was not something to expect.

本格的でエンターテイメント性が高く、6歳の娘も非常に喜んでました。これまで見たルアウで1番良かったです。また来年も行きます。食事は期待できません。

All around good evening, it is a bigger luau but that did not take away from how personal the story telling way!

The sliders open alternately. It might be difficult because you have to bring the float up from below.

Juice is included for free, but since it's in the same area as the food, you'll have to wait in line.

スライダーは交互にオープンします。
したから浮き輪を持って上がらないといけないので、そこが大変かもしれません


ジュースは無料でついてくるのですが、ご飯と一緒の場所なので、並びます。

You will laugh all night! This was a perfect balance on a historic evening with a light heartness to it!

Great experience!! One our favorite experiences in Hawaii. Food was good we tried everything 😋

It was amazing.
Having a Japanese guide made me feel at ease.
Most of the participants were foreigners, so you can really enjoy the local atmosphere since there aren't many Japanese people.
There were plenty of staff on the boat who provided solid support and had very high energy.
We saw both dolphins and whales, and we also spotted sea turtles.
The bus ride to the location takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. It was quite cramped, and the air conditioning didn't work at all, so I was sweating a lot.
The journey to and from was the only tough part.
Lunch is distributed at the end, so it might be good to bring some salty snacks.
There is water available on the boat, so that's fine.
After getting in the water, it gets chilly, so a light jacket is essential.

最高でした。
日本語のガイドさんがいてくれたので、安心。
参加者のほとんどが外国人。日本人はあまりいないので、現地の雰囲気楽しめます。
船にスタッフも多く、しっかりサポートしてくれますし、テンションめちゃ高いです。
イルカもクジラも見れて、ウミガメも見れました。
現地までのバスが片道1時間から1時間半。かなりギュウギュウの状態で、冷房全く効かないので汗だく。
行き帰りだけが地獄です。
ランチは最後に配られるので、塩気のあるお菓子とか持っていけたら尚いいかも。
水などは船にあるので、大丈夫。
海に入った後は冷えるので、羽織もの必須。

There were many closures, and the rides available for play were limited, which was disappointing. However, I was satisfied with the rides I did go on. Given the limited time, I hope there will be shorter wait times in the future.

closeが多く、遊べる乗り物が限定されていました、残念です、
乗った乗り物については、満足しています。時間が限られているだけに、今後、待ち時間が少なることを期待します

I thought it might be tough since we had to gather early in the morning, but it turned out to be a great experience. On the day, we encountered dolphins and whales, and we were able to enjoy the subsequent activities as well. The staff, including AYA who spoke Japanese and INGRID who was great at hula, were kind and fun, which made it even better.

Since it's an activity involving nature, whether you see the animals depends on luck, but I recommend giving it a try.

早朝の集合時間だったので、きついかなぁと思っていましたが、それ以上に良い体験ができました。
当日はイルカとクジラに遭遇することができ、その後のアクティビティも楽しむことができました。
日本語スタッフのAYAさんやフラが上手なINGRIDさんなど親切で楽しいスタッフがガイドしてくれてとてもよかったです。

自然相手のアクティビティなので、動物と会えるかは運次第ですが、参加してみてはどうでしょう。

Thank you for a wonderful day with my grandchildren, enjoying water activities that are different from Waikiki. The bus transportation was also smooth.

ワイキキとは違う水遊びが出来て孫たちに最高な一日を有り難う御座いました。バスでの送迎もスムーズです。

The staff and the boat were amazing. We had the best time! They catered to our every need and were informative and seasoned. I felt safe every step of the way. You should try this, you won’t regret it.

There were no staff members who could speak Japanese, so I received an explanation through a Japanese instructional video. I went through three videos, and it took less than an hour to finish. It was great; I was able to take photos and have some taken of me as well.

日本語を話せるスタッフがいなく日本語説明動画で説明を受けました
3本しましたが1時間かからないくらいで終わりました
最高でした　撮影できましたし写真を撮ってもらえました

Entry was smooth, and there were no wait times for attractions, so we were able to enjoy almost everything. There were a lot of people, but the space was large, so it wasn't too bothersome.

入場もスムーズでアトラクションの待ち時間もなくほぼ全部で遊べました
人は多かったが広いのであまり気にならなかった

Everyone was so kind, and I was able to experience it while relaxing! Being able to see the dolphins up close was the best memory!

みなさん優しい方ばかりでリラックスしながら体験できました！！イルカも間近で見ることができて最高の思い出です！！
