We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. It was fun. The child was able to enjoy snorkeling, and there were many sea turtles, which was great. The view of Waikiki from the ocean was also nice. Above all, I liked the relaxed style of enjoying time on the water without any rush. You can drink alcohol, and the boat was very nice and spacious.
However, even though it was the peak season at the end of the year, I thought over $400 for three people was a bit high. The shuttle service at $30 per person seemed expensive. Moreover, it was supposed to depart from Waianae, but it actually left from a port just past Ala Moana. If that was the case, I could have just driven there myself.
Most participants were American, and the style was American as well. It felt friendly, cheerful, and laid-back. The shuttle time changed by 30 minutes without notice, and I only found out after calling. All the explanations on the boat were in English, and there was no special consideration just because we were Japanese. Therefore, I think those who cannot speak English at all might feel a bit confused. On the other hand, I believe this type of tour, with its American style, is suitable for those who do not particularly like the intense atmosphere of Japanese-style optional tours. I heard that there are Japanese staff on some days.
Since we are going abroad, I think it would be more interesting to participate in a tour like this, with American participants and style, rather than one that is mostly Japanese.
Also, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. My wife felt seasick towards the end and had a tough time, even though she rarely gets motion sickness in cars.
6歳の子供を連れて家族3人で参加。
楽しかったです。
子供も楽しくシュノーケル出来ましたし、海亀達も沢山いて楽しかったです。海から見るワイキキの景色も良かったです。
何より、あくせくせず、ゆったりと海の上の時間を自由に楽しむスタイルが良かったです。お酒も飲めるし、船はとても素敵で、ゆったりしてました。
たた、年末のピーク時期とは言え、3人で400ドル超は高いかなと
送迎が一人30ドルってのが高い。
しかも、ワイアナエ出航のはずが、アラモアナの先のすぐそばの港発になってましたからね。それなら自分で運転して行ったっつーの。
参加者の殆どはアメリカ人でしたし、スタイルもアメリカ式でした。
フレンドリー、陽気、自己責任、いいかげん。といった感じです。
送迎時間が勝手に30分変わってて、電話で聞いて始めて知る。とかね。
船内でも説明はすべて英語、日本人だからといって、特別に気を使われるわけではないです。
ですので、英語が全くできない方の場合、ちょっと戸惑うと思います。
逆に、日本式のオプショナルツアーの暑苦しい感じがあまり好きでない方には向いてると思います。
日によっては、日本人のスタッフもいるそうです。
せっかく海外に行くのですから、日本人ばかりいるオプショナルツアーに行くよりは、参加者もスタイルもアメリカ式のこういったツアーに参加した方が面白いかなと思います。
おと、酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いと思います。嫁さんは後半船酔いしてしまい辛くなっちゃいましたので。
車では滅多に酔わない程度の強さはあるのですが。

This is a pool located about a 40-minute drive from Waikiki. In December, the wind can feel a bit chilly, but it's not too bothersome if the sun is out. The attractions change every 30 minutes, but you can easily tell which rides are operating by the lines of people. It was unfortunate that the Tornado was closed all day. It's quite rare in Hawaii to enjoy both alcohol and tobacco together (you receive a wristband when you order alcohol).
ワイキキから車で40分程度のところにあるプールです。12月は風が若干肌寒く感じますが、日差しがあればそこまで気になりません。稼働中のアトラクションは30分ごとに入れ代わりますが、動いている乗り物は人が並んでいるのですぐにわかります。トルネードが終日クローズだったのが残念でした。ハワイでは非常に珍しく、アルコールとタバコを一緒に楽しめます。(酒を頼むとリストバンドを付けられます。)

A great time snorkeling. The spots were amazing with so many marine creatures to see. Incredible to see what kind of life is happening just out of site. The crew was professional kind and courteous helping my friends who was a bit nauseous midway through. If I'm ever back here will most definitely go again either on this or one of their other activities.

I apply for this tour every year, and every year, Japanese student part-timers have handled the reception (name verification and wristband distribution). However, this year, the driver (who did not speak Japanese) managed everything alone, which caused a significant delay at the reception, resulting in a departure that was 50 minutes late from the scheduled time. This is the only negative point.
It seems to be due to cost-cutting on labor, but since this is a service industry aimed at Japanese customers, I believe that if the service in this area deteriorates, the number of participants will decrease. The facility itself was the same as always, and I was able to enjoy it.
毎年このツアーを申し込んでいますが、毎年、日本人の学生のアルバイトの方が、受付(氏名確認やリストバンド配布)などを行っていたのですが、今年はドライバーの方(日本語NG)が一人でやっていたため、受付に大変時間がかかり、集合時間の50分遅れで出発となりました。この点だけマイナスポイントです。
人件費削減等によるものと思われますが、日本人相手のサービス業なので、
この辺のサービスが悪くなると参加者が減ると思います。
施設自体はいつもと変わりなく、楽しむことが出来ました。

I stayed at Aulani in October. Although I was alone, there were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations, so I had no issues. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I was able to see many sea turtles while snorkeling, and I enjoyed spending an hour in the ocean, which was great. For breakfast, I had pastries, and for lunch, I made sandwiches with bread, vegetables, cheese, and ham as I liked. Eating after snorkeling on the yacht was very delicious and satisfying. However, there was one issue. I happened to share the same last name with another group of Japanese guests, and it was mistakenly noted that I wasn't participating. After returning home, I contacted them, and they responded politely, which was good. When I go to Hawaii again in July next year, I would like to participate with my family.
10月アウラニ宿泊時に利用しました。1人でしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、しっかり説明をしてくれたので問題はありませんでした。イルカには会えませんでしたが、シュノーケルでウミガメをたくさん見られ、1時間じっくり海で楽しめたので良かったです。朝食には菓子パン、昼食はパンに野菜やチーズ、ハムを好きに挟んで食べました。ヨットの上でシュノーケル後に食べるととても美味しく満足でした。ただ一点問題がありました。もう一組の日本人とたまたま同姓で、私が参加していないことになっていました。帰国後連絡したところ、丁寧に対応していただけましたので良かったです。来年7月にハワイに行く時は、家族と一緒に参加したいと思います。

I had a great time!! I'm glad I chose the Deluxe Dinner Package. The show was wonderful. The food was okay, but it seems the drinks didn't suit my husband's taste. The cocktails were on the sweeter side, and there were no beer or whiskey options. I had a bit of trouble keeping up with the foreigners (mostly non-Japanese) on the bus ride to and from the venue, but that was also fun. It was a valuable experience that felt like stepping into another world for a moment.

The welcome bus arrived before the scheduled time, and one of our companions seemed to be running late. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink, and since the legal drinking age in Hawaii is 21, the two companions were asked to show their passports (they looked young). We were welcomed with shell leis. We could enjoy various activities until sunset, but the most unique for me was climbing the palm trees. The sunset was very beautiful. We also received two drink vouchers, which was enough for me. The meal was a standard course but delicious. The Polynesian show was very impressive and fulfilling. The guide's talk on the bus to and from the venue was all in English, so I think it's great for those who want to study English... I understood some parts. I learned about the origin of the name ABC Mart and the meaning of 'ohana'. I believe we spent our evening to night time meaningfully.
迎えのバスは、時間前に来ており、私たちの仲間の方が遅れそうでした。着いてから、まず、ウエルカムドリンクで迎えられ、ハワイでは、飲酒できるのが21歳以上ということで、連れの二人は、パスポートの提示を求められました。(若く見られました。)貝のレイで歓迎されました。夕日が沈む前まで、いろいろなアクティビティを楽しむことができるのですが、ヤシの木上りが私には一番珍しかったです。
有日が沈むところは、とても綺麗でした。ドリンク券も2枚付いていて、私には十分でした。
食事もスタンダードコースでしたが、美味しかったです。ポリネシアのショーもとても見ごたえがあり、充実していました。行き帰りのバスの中のガイドさんのお話は全て英語なので、英語を勉強したい方には良いと思います。・・・時々わかりました。ABCマートの名前の由来、オハナの意味など、勉強することができました。夕方から夜にかけての時間を有意義に過ごせたと思います。

When entering, the baggage inspection is very thorough, so please be aware that snacks and candies will be confiscated. The poolside can get very hot when walking barefoot, so be careful. As rumored, the thrilling water slide is very intense and full of excitement. The hours vary depending on the type of pool, so it would be good to enjoy it while keeping that in mind.

It was pleasantly quiet, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time. All the attractions made the kids very happy, but perhaps because it was the off-peak season, they were operating every 30 minutes. We opted for the free drink plan, but I was disappointed that the juice didn't have much carbonation.

It is located about an hour from Waikiki via H1, passing through Pearl City, and I participated with a rental car while combining it with sightseeing. I signed up for an afternoon round of golf and played for two days. Compared to golf courses in Japan, it was relatively flat and had a course where scores could be managed. However, the cups were cut on slopes, so a slight miscalculation in strength could lead to big scores. It was a good experience.

We use this place every time as a family. Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii is the best deal for this tour, in my opinion. You can enter one hour before the park opens, so you can secure beach beds. However, most of the pools are not accessible until the official opening time, so basically, you spend that hour relaxing. This time, several slides were operational, and we enjoyed them with the kids. Since you can play on the slides with hardly any waiting, you can also spend the afternoon relaxing or taking a nap. The water activities in Hawaii are fantastic and, above all, being able to enjoy the slides without much waiting is something you can't find in Japan.
家族で毎回利用しています。ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ はこのツアーが一番お得だとおもいます。入園時間より1時間前に入れるので、ビーチベットも確保できます。ただし、プール自体は、ほとんどがオープン時間になるまで入れませんので、基本的に、のんびり1時間すごす、というかんじになります。今回は、スライダーがいくつか動いていたので、それを子供と楽しみました。スライダーがほとんど並ばずに遊べるので、午後はのんびり、お昼寝などしてすごすこともできます。海とはまた違う、ハワイの水遊びは最高ですし、なんといっても、スライダーがほとんど並ばずにできるというのは、日本ではないことだと思います。

There are two adjacent kids' pools, and we spent a relaxing time in the area suitable for the smallest children. We couldn't use floaties, so we brought arm rings from Japan to play with. In addition to the children's pool, there are also a lazy river and a wave pool that even small children can enjoy, so we visited those as well. On the return shuttle bus, the kids were very satisfied and fell into a deep sleep. Unlike the sea, the water isn't salty, so I felt安心 even when their faces got wet.
キッズ用のプールが隣り合わせ2か所あり、一番小さい子供が遊べる場所で、ゆったりと過ごしました。浮き輪が使えなく、アームリングを日本から持参して、遊びました。子供プールのほか、流れるプールや、波のプールも、小さい子供でも利用できるので、そちらにも足を運び、帰りの送迎バスでは、子供たちも大満足で爆睡しました。海と違い、塩水ではないので、顔がぬれても、安心でした。
