All Reviews for Ko Olina Resorts

I tried various attractions, and each one was so thrilling and fun that I couldn't help but scream. There were many families, but I think it's a paradise where everyone from small children to adults can enjoy themselves.

何種類ものアトラクションに挑戦しましたが、どれもキャーキャー言ってしまうほどの恐さや楽しさがありました。ファミリーが多かったですが、小さい子から大人までもが夢中に遊ぶことのできる楽園思います。

This was one of the tours I was looking forward to on our honeymoon in Hawaii, where we could swim with dolphins. I had experienced seasickness on other tours, so this time I took motion sickness medication purchased locally. The boat was large, and on the day we participated, there were about 25 people, but only 2 or 3 seemed to be feeling sick. We managed to avoid seasickness.

Jumping into the water for snorkeling from the boat for the first time was thrilling because the ocean was very deep, but it was so clear that we could see all the way to the bottom. Snorkeling among a pod of wild dolphins was incredibly moving. We were also fortunate to encounter turtles and seals. Additionally, there was a fun atmosphere with opportunities to feed fish from the boat and live ukulele performances. The guide really engaged with us, making it more memorable than any other tour.

For lunch, the homemade hamburgers were very delicious. They took photos of our snorkeling activities, which we could buy at the end. We didn’t purchase any, but many other guests did. I definitely want to recommend this to friends if they have a chance to come to Hawaii. Of course, if we have the opportunity to come again, we will definitely repeat this experience.

今回新婚旅行で初めてのハワイでイルカと一緒に泳げると言う事で楽しみにしていたツアーの一つでした。
他のツアーでは船酔いを経験したので、今回は現地購入した酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船はおっきくて参加した日には25人くらいでしたが酔っていた人は2,3人くらいでした。私達は船酔いにならずにすみました。
初めての船からの飛び込んでのシューノーケリングは海がとっても深くてドキドキしたけれど、とっても透き通ってたので海の底まではっきりと見ることができました。野生のイルカの群れの中でのシュノーケリングはとても感動しました。イルカだけではなくカメやアザラシにも出会うことができて良かったです。その他には船の上から魚に餌にあげたりウクレレの生演奏があったりととっても楽しい雰囲気でした。案内をしてくれたお姉さんが話をもりあげてくれて他のどのツアーよりも印象に残りました。

お昼は手作りのハンバーガーがとてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケリング最中の行動をカメラで写真をとってくれていて最後に買えるようでした。私達は買いませんでしたが多くのお客さんが、購入されていました。
友達にもハワイにくるチャンスがあったら是非進めたいと思います。もちろんまたくる機会があれば私達も、リピート確実です。

The pickup bus for the transfer is clearly marked with "Dolphin University," making it easy to find.
I had pre-ordered the breakfast malasadas, and the staff picked them up for us to enjoy on the boat.
We arrived at Waianae Harbor in about an hour from Waikiki!
During the ride, the bus provided explanations about dolphins, safety instructions for the boat, and also guided us through sightseeing spots.
There was no time to sleep on the bus; it seemed like they wanted us to be alert so we could swim as soon as we arrived.

After arriving at the harbor, we switched to the Island Princess and set off!

Once on board, we immediately sang a chant for safety and offered fresh flowers to the sea, performing an 'ehomai' ceremony.

Then, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located.
We were very lucky on the day we participated, as we quickly encountered a dolphin known as "Spinner Dolphin," who showed us many spins and jumps.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even though it was June, it was a good decision to rent one since the wind was cold after getting out of the water. Even if there’s no wind on land, it can be windy on the water, so I recommend it for those who are sensitive to cold.
My husband is not a strong swimmer, but they took good care of him. He could hold onto a rope and be pulled along.

There were also young children in early elementary school participating.

After that, we moved to another location.
We swam with Professor Turtle and tropical fish.
At that time, they provided bread as fish food, and many fish gathered around when we fed them. It was really fun.

You can also try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking! Participation is not mandatory.
Stand-up paddleboarding seems to require good balance, so those who struggle with balance might find it difficult.

The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious. If you don’t like cheese, you can request it without cheese in advance.
There were also drinks like water and warm tea available, along with some snacks.

After lunch, we had hula dancing. At first, I felt a bit shy, but by the end, I was dancing happily and energetically.
(My husband was dancing enthusiastically from the start.)

There were about two people who got seasick, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it’s advisable to take medication beforehand.
In case you feel like you might vomit on the boat, they provide a bucket called the "Aloha Bucket."
(It seems that vomiting in the restroom can cause clogs and lead to bigger problems later…)

送迎のピックアップバスはイルカ大学って書いてあるから、わかりやすいです。
朝食のマラサダは事前に注文済で、スタッフが取りに行って、船の上で食べました。
ワイキキから１時間程でワイアナエハーバーへ到着！！
その間バスの中はイルカの説明や船の上の注意事項の他に、観光名所も案内してくれました。
バスの中は寝る暇はありません。着いたらすぐ泳げるように頭を起こしてくれているみたいです。

港に到着後、アイランドプリンセス号に乗り換えて、出発！！

乗船後、さっそく安全を祈りチャントを歌い生花を海に捧げ、エホマイを行います。

そして、イルカのいるポイントまで移動。
私たちが参加した日はすごくラッキーで、すぐにイルカ先生こと「スピナードルフィン」と遭遇。スピンをしてジャンプをたくさん見せてくれました。
１０ドルでウェットスーツをレンタルできます。６月だけど、海から上がると風が冷たいので借りて正解でした。陸上が風が吹いてなくても、海上は吹いてたりするので寒がりの方にはお勧めです。
私の夫は泳ぐのが苦手なのですが、ちゃんと配慮して頂きました。ロープにつかまっていれば引っ張って行ってもらえます。

小学校低学年のお子さんも参加していました。

その後、更に場所に移動。
カメ教授とトロピカルフィッシュとも一緒に泳ぎました。
その時に餌となるパンをくれます。餌付けするとたくさんの魚が寄ってきます。すごく面白いです。

スタンドアップ・パドルとシーカヤックも体験できます！強制ではないです。
スタンドアップ・パドルはバランス感覚が重要のようで、苦手な人は苦手かも…。

お昼ごはんのチーズバーガーもおいしかったです。チーズ苦手な人は事前に言えば、チーズなしにしてもらえます。
飲み物は水や温かいお茶もありました。スナックも出ました。

昼食後はフラダンスです。最初は恥ずかしいとも思いましたが、最後の方はノリノリに楽しく踊れました。
（私の旦那は最初からノリノリで踊ってました）

船酔いになっていた方も２人位いたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要です。事前に飲まれていく事をお勧めします。
万が一、船上で吐きたくなったら「アロハバケツ」と呼ばれるバケツを貸してくれます。
（トイレで吐かれると詰まったりして、後々大変なようです…）

I participated with a friend. I was really looking forward to it before joining, and it exceeded my expectations on the day. I was able to see many wild dolphins for the first time, and I also got to swim alongside sea turtles right in front of me. Even for those who are not good at swimming, the staff are there to watch over you, so it's very reassuring! This is an activity that you can't experience in Japan, and both the wild dolphins and the staff were very friendly, making it a highly satisfying experience. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.

友人と参加させて頂きました。
参加前からとても楽しみにしており、当日参加してみて期待以上でした。
初めて野生のイルカ先生をたくさん見る事も出来ましたしウミガメも目の前で見ながら一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。泳ぎが得意でない方でもスタッフの方が見守って下さるので安心です！！
日本では体験出来ないアクティビティで野生のイルカ先生はもちろんスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで大満足の体験となりました。
ハワイにまた行く機会があれば絶対参加したいと思います。

Depending on the day, you might encounter dolphins right after setting sail, but on the day I participated, it seemed the wild dolphins were in a different spot, and we had a hard time finding them. However, the staff patiently coordinated and even changed the activity schedule to take us to a location where the dolphin pod was, and in the end, we were able to swim with over 30 dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute!

Since they are wild dolphins, you never know when you'll encounter them, but it is truly moving when you get to swim with them. On the way to see the dolphins, we also encountered wild turtles, and just sitting at the front of the boat allowed us to enjoy the scenery! The staff were cheerful and really uplifting.

After swimming with the dolphins, it was cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit. There were also small girls participating, and the staff provided excellent support, so they had a great time! Of course, we were able to observe the dolphins as well. It's an emotional experience, so I highly recommend it for families and couples!

日によっては出航してすぐにイルカに遭遇できる時もあるようですが、私が参加した日は野生のイルカが普段と違うポイントにいたようでなかなか出会うことができませんでした。
でも、スタッフの方が根気強く連携を取り、アクティビティーの予定を変えてまでイルカの群れがいるポイントまで連れていって下さり、最終的には３０匹以上のイルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
赤ちゃんのイルカもいてとってもかわいかったです♪

野生のイルカなのでどのタイミングで出会えるか分かりませんが、一緒に泳げた時は本当に感動的です。
イルカに会いに行く途中でも野生のカメに遭遇したり、船の先頭で座っているだけでも景色を楽しむことができました！スタッフのみなさんも明るくてとっても元気がでます♪

海でイルカと泳いだ後は寒かったので、水着の上からはおれるものを持参するのがよいと思います。
小さな女の子も参加されていましたが、スタッフが手厚くサポートしていたのですごく楽しめていました！
もちろんイルカも観察できていましたよ♪
感動的な体験ができるので、ご家族にもカップルにもお勧めです☆

I participated in the $7.77 tour. There were many interesting attractions, and I had a great time. However, I felt that there might not have been enough staff since when one attraction opened, another one closed. On the day I visited, it was not crowded, so I could ride quickly, but if it had been busy with long wait times, it might have been tough.

I was a bit surprised to see what looked like a dead cockroach in the hallway, and there was also something that resembled a cockroach floating in the lazy river, which honestly made me feel a bit uneasy. I hoped the pool staff would take care of it, but they were just singing without a care, which is typical American behavior. They might not have noticed the bugs, but I wished they would have taken care of it before singing.

The activity guide was very kind. There were explanations on the bus, and they stayed inside for a while, which was helpful because I could ask questions if I didn't understand something.

When I wanted to take a photo on the way back, the pool staff happily agreed with a big smile. Additionally, while I was trying to take individual photos at the entrance, a returning guest (a foreigner) offered to take a picture for us, which was very touching. I thought it was something you don't often see in Japan.

It was definitely enjoyable for couples, but I think it's the perfect place for kids. However, there are height restrictions for each attraction, so I think it's better for those who are at least elementary school age.

＄7.77ツアーで参加しました。
面白いアトラクションが多く楽しめました。
ただ一つのアトラクションが開くと一つのアトラクションが閉まるのでスタッフの人数が足りないのかな・・・と感じました。
あと行った日は空いていたのですぐに乗れましたがもし混んでいて待ち時間が長かったらしんどいかもしれないです。

通路のところにゴキブリらしきものが死んでいてちょっとビックリしましたが流れるプールにもゴキブリらしきものが浮いていてさすがにちょっと・・・嫌な気分になりました。
プールのスタッフの人が取ってくれたら良いのですが、そこはさすがアメリカンで何も気にせず歌を歌っていたりでした。虫の存在に気付いてないかもですが、私からしたらお願いだから歌う前にとって欲しかったです。

アクティビティのガイドさんはとっても優しかったです。
バス内でも説明がありますが中に入ってしばらく居てくれるので分からない事は聞いたりできて助かりました。

帰りに写真を撮ろうと思いプールのスタッフの方にお願いすると満面の笑みでOKしてくれました。
他にも入り口のところで一人ずつ撮ろうとしていたら帰りのお客さん（外国人の方）が向こうから写真を撮ろうか？って言ってきてくれて優しさに感動しました。
日本ではなかなかない事だなと思いました。

カップルでも十分楽しめたけど、お子さんには最高の場所と思います。
ただアトラクションごとに身長制限があるので小学生以上くらいの方が良いと思います。

We participated as a family of four, including our 5-year-old and 9-year-old sons. During our dolphin watching tour in Guam, we felt somewhat unsatisfied just watching dolphins from the boat. That's why we were really looking forward to "swimming with the dolphins" this time. Our strong sons, who mastered snorkeling at the age of four and have often played with fish in overseas waters, dove into the sea without any hesitation, despite the staff's concerns! On this day, we couldn't get close to the dolphins, and we desperately chased them around at the staff's signals. It was quite challenging... However, when we saw the dolphins swimming right beneath us, we were moved. Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, whether they come close enough to touch is a matter of luck. We wished we could have seen them up close and heard their cries, but we look forward to next time. We also encountered about four turtles. For those with small children, you can enjoy watching dolphins from the boat, but opportunities to swim with them are rare. If you're considering having your child try snorkeling, I recommend buying a MY mask and practicing in the bath (that's how our kids mastered its use) to prepare for the real experience. It should be a great experience!

5歳＆9歳の息子を含む家族4人で参加しました。グアムのイルカウォッチングツアー参加の際は、ただ船の上からイルカをみるだけで何となく物足りなさを感じていました。それだけに、今回は『イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!』と楽しみにしていました。4歳からシュノーケルをマスターし、度々海外の海で魚と戯れてきたスイミングにも通うたくましい息子達は、スタッフの心配をよそに難なく海へダイブ!!この日はなかなかイルカに近づけず、スタッフの合図であっちこっち必死にイルカを追いかけました。それがなかなかハードで・・・。でも、イルカが自分達の真下を泳ぐ姿を目にした時は感動しました。野生のイルカが相手なだけに、手が届きそうな距離まで近づいてきてくれるかは運次第ですね。もっと近くで見たかった＆泣き声を聞きたかったなどありますが、次回へ期待します。カメも4匹程遭遇しました。小さなお子様連れの方、船上からでもイルカの姿を見て楽しむ事が出来ますが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐチャンスはそうありません。もし、我が子にシュノーケルに挑戦させたいとお考えでしたら、MYマスクを購入してお風呂で特訓(我が家の子供達はこうして使い方をマスターしました)して本番に備えてみて下さい。良い体験が出来るはずです!

I was energized by meeting the dolphin teacher! I could really feel the staff's love for the dolphins and their passion for Dolphin University.

However, I was a bit put off by the final DVD sales... Also, the quality of the images attached to the email after returning home was disappointing, especially since I was satisfied with the content.

イルカ先生に会えて元気をもらいました♪
スタッフの方のイルカに対する愛情とイルカ大学に対する情熱をひしひしと感じました。

ただ、最後のＤＶＤの販売はちょっと引きました・・・。
そして、帰国後のメールに添付してもらっていた画像の粗さ･･･内容は満足だっただけに残念です。

The shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel, so I threw on a hoodie over my swimsuit and off we went! The bus arrived before the park opened, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, our whole family had a great time.

There were various attractions, including slides and tubes, accommodating from one person up to six people. We didn't set up lunch, but you can buy hot dogs, pizza, and hamburgers inside the park.

The changing rooms can't exactly be called clean, but that's the same in Japan. It might have been because it was less crowded, but we had a full day of fun, and unlike Japanese pools, there were no extra charges for the large slides, so you can slide down as many times as you want. I wouldn't say the price is too high... (of course, cheaper is always better).

ホテルまで送迎バスが迎えに来てくれるので水着の上にパーカー羽織っていざ出発！
開園前にバスは到着し、待つ事１０分。
家族全員楽しんで来ました。
そのまま滑るスライダーやチューブ（浮輪）に乗って滑るスライダーなど様々ですが、１人乗から最大６人乗まで楽しめました。
お昼はセットしませんでしたが、園内でホットドックやピザ、ハンバーガーなどが買えます。
更衣室はお世辞にもキレイとは言えませんが、それは日本も同じ事。
空いてたからかも知れませんが、１日楽しめて日本のプールのように大型スライダーは別料金と言った事が無いので、何度も滑れるのでお値段的にも高すぎるって事はないかな・・？（もちろん安い方がいいけど）

I participated with my mother and son. My mother, who is in the silver generation, also challenged herself on the slide, and it seemed she enjoyed it because she rode together with us on the two-person and three-person slides. My elementary school son had a great time and kept sliding down so many times that it was almost persistent (laughs). Since the local children were already on summer vacation in June, I thought it would be crowded on the weekends, so we went on a Monday. Thanks to that, it was not crowded, and we could use almost all the slides without waiting in line. The facilities for small children's pools are also well-equipped, so even little kids can have fun. Life jackets of all sizes were available for free rental. I think our family will go again next time.

母と息子と参加しました。
シルバー世代の母もスライダーに挑戦しましたが、２人乗りや３人乗りに一緒に乗ったので安心だったみたいで楽しんでました。
小学生の息子は、それはそれは楽しんで、しつこいくらいに何度も滑ってました(笑）
６月で現地の子供はすでに夏休みだったので、土日は混み合うと思い、月曜日に行きました。
おかげで空いていたので、どのスライダーもほとんど並ばずに利用できました。
小さな子供用のプールも施設が充実していますので、小さなお子さんでも楽しめます。
ライフベストも各サイズが揃って無料貸出されてました。
我が家は次回もまた行くと思います。

This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it without getting bored at all. This time it was crowded, so there were quite a few attractions with some waiting. However, unlike last time, there were no attractions that were interrupted, so I was able to enjoy everything continuously. Just keep in mind that with so many people, buying food can involve quite a bit of waiting. I recommend purchasing your meals early.

二度目の参加でしたが全くあきずに楽しめました。
今回は混んでいたので若干待つアトラクションが多かったです。でも前回のように途中で中断するアトラクションがなかったのでずっと楽しめました。
ただ人数が多いと食事を買うのもかなり並びます。
早めに食事を買うことをおすすめします。

It's packed with attractions that aren't found in Japan. When I went, it was not crowded, so I could ride as much as I wanted. You can buy snacks like hamburgers and hot dogs even without a meal plan. Have fun!

日本ではないアトラクション満載です。
私が行ったときはすいていたので乗りたい放題でした。
ご飯はつけなくてもハンバーガーやホットドッグなど軽食が買えます。楽しんできてください。

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii! A large private bus came to pick us up at the hotel in the morning. It was easy to recognize because it had "Wet 'n' Wild" written on it in big letters. However, the air conditioning inside the bus was really strong, and it was cold. (During the time I visited Hawaii, it was generally cold indoors and on the bus...)

Since I woke up early, I fell asleep on the bus after listening to the explanation! Before I knew it, we had arrived.

Here we go!!! It was not crowded, so we could enjoy all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time on the slides, which you wouldn't find in Japan! However, there were no signs in the park (or maybe there were?), so at first, I didn't know where the entrances to the slides were or where I was. But by the second half, I had a good grasp of the layout!

I was excited to play, but at first, I really didn't know what to do, and I wished there had been a bit more explanation on the bus. They might have explained it, but I was confused about how to get the inner tubes for the slides.

Also, walking barefoot in the park almost gave me burns. If I wore flip-flops, I wouldn't be able to slide down, so I thought it would have been better to bring some water shoes. I left my flip-flops at the slide entrance while playing, but after sliding down, I had to go back to the entrance to get them again.

I wrote a lot, but I had a great time. There are so many things you can't find in Japan, and even if something like this were to be built in Japan, there would be long lines. I will definitely go again the next time I visit Hawaii!

ウエット＆ワイルドハワイに行ってきました！
ホテルに朝大きな専用バスで迎えにきてくれました。大きくウエット＆ワイルドと書かれたバスだったのでわかりやすかったです。ただバスの中は冷房が強くて寒かったです。（私が行った時期のハワイは基本的に室内、バスは寒かったです…）
朝早く起きたので説明聞いたあとはバスでグッスリ！あっという間に着いてました~

いざ突入~！！！空いててどれもあんまり並ばずに遊べました。日本では有り得ないだろうスライダーを思う存分楽しみました☆ただ園内には案内板的なものがなかったので(あったのかな？)どこがどのスライダーの乗り口かと自分が今いる場所が最初のほうはわかりませんでした。けど後半にはだいたい全体をつかめました！

さぁ遊ぼ~としたけど最初はほんとになにしていいかわからずでもうちょっとバスで説明してほしかったな~と思いました。していただいてたのかもしれませんが…スライダーすべるための浮輪はどうすればいいのか？？？でした。

あと園内を裸足で歩いてたら火傷しそうになりました。ビーサンだとそのままスライダーすべれないだろうし、できればマリンシューズ的なのを持っていったらよかったなと思いました。ビーサンを乗り場に置いて遊んでましたが滑り終わったらまた乗り場にビーサンとりに行かなきゃならなかったりしたので。

いろいろと書きましたがすごく楽しかったです。日本では有り得ないものいっぱいだし、もし日本にできたとしてもものすごく並ぶだろうし、私は次ハワイに行くときも絶対行きます！！

I visited on June 6, 2012.
There were six of us participating: my parents, myself, and my daughters (in 4th grade, 2nd grade, and preschool).
We were picked up by bus and arrived before the opening, applying sunscreen while waiting to dive into Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.
After passing the Keiki Cove for toddlers, we settled in the shaded area of Water World for elementary school kids, where everyone except my eldest daughter wore life vests and played around.
Since we were wearing rash guards, there were times when it felt cold when the sun was hidden or strong winds blew, but my second daughter, who let her guard down and took off her rash guard, ended up with a bright red sunburn at night, reminding us of the strength of Hawaii's UV rays.

For lunch, we had a hall pizza (about 40 cm in diameter for $25), two cheeseburgers, and French fries, which filled us up quite a bit. The kids were so absorbed in playing that they hardly had time to eat, just wanting to be in the water.

We decided to challenge ourselves with the thrill rides and went to ride the Raging River with three of us. It said to ride with over 150 kg, but the three of us were at most 100 kg, yet we were able to ride. The staff were probably students, and they didn't understand Japanese. After overtaking a few people, we finally got on. It was so much fun!
Unfortunately, some activities closed irregularly (maybe due to staff availability?), and we were really disappointed that we couldn't try the Island Racer or Shaka.
We slid down the Surf Slider together, but I was disappointed that my swimsuit didn't allow me to slide easily.
The wave pool started operating in the afternoon. The kids got hooked on it (I don't think such big waves can be made in Japan) and were having a blast while screaming with excitement.
Before we knew it, it was time to gather, and we left with some regrets.
The changing room was combined with the restroom, and the showers had cold water, so I recommend taking a warm shower at the hotel instead.
If I have the chance again, I would like to challenge the thrill rides we missed.
The guide was very kind and even took photos for us.

2012年６月６日に行ってきました
父母／私／娘（小４、小２、年中）計６名で参加しました。
バスで送迎してもらって、開演前に到着し、日焼け止めを塗りつつ開演をまちいざウェット＆ワイルドハワイへ突入しました。
幼児を遊ばせるケイキーコーブをすぎた小学生向けエリアウオーターワールドの木陰に陣取りし、長女以外はライフベスト着用の上いろいろと遊ばせました。
ラッシュガード着用していたので、日が陰ったり決行強い風が吹くと寒く感じるときもありましたが、ラッシュガードを脱いで油断した次女が夜に真っ赤に日焼けしていて改めてハワイの紫外線の強さを感じました。

昼食には、園内のホールピザ（直径40cm位で$25)とチーズバーガー２つ、フレンチフライポテトでもう結構お腹いっぱいでした。こどもは遊びに夢中なのでご飯を食べる時間も惜しいくらいで、とにかく水に浸かっていました。

絶叫系にチャレンジしようと思ってレイジングリバーに三人で乗りに行きました。150kg以上で乗ってくださいと書いてあったのですが、私たち三人でせいぜい100kgでしたが乗る事ができました。係員は多分学生なのでしょう、日本語は通じないです。何人か追い越されてやっと乗る事ができました。とっても楽しかったです、
残念ながら、アクティビティが不定期にクローズ（係員の都合？）となり、ほかのアイランドレーサー、シャカなど行けなかったのはとても残念でした。
サーフスライダーは３人で同時に滑ったのですが、私の水着が悪かったのかなかなかすべらなかったのが残念でした。
ウェーブプールは、午後から稼働しました。これに子どもたちははまってしまい（多分日本ではここまでおおきな波は立てないと思います）キャーキャー良いながら楽しんでいました。
集合時間があっと言う間に来てしまったので、心残りで帰りました。
更衣室はトイレと一緒になっていて、シャワーは冷水なので、ホテルで温かいシャワーを浴びる方がおすすめです。
また機会があれば回れなかった絶叫系にチェレンジしたいと思いました。
ガイドのお姉さんはとても親切で、写真の撮影もしてくださいました。

At 9 AM, the shuttle bus for Wet 'n Wild picked us up from the hotel. During this time, they wrapped our passports around our wrists. Inside the bus, there were no videos playing, but there was an audio guide in Japanese about the facilities. Once we arrived at the site, there was no further guidance, so I think it's better to listen carefully.

We arrived at the location a little after 10 AM. Since it opened at 10:30, we had to wait for a while. After it opened, we stored our belongings in a locker. There are both large and small lockers available. In addition to the locker fee, you need to pay a $5 deposit. The deposit can be refunded when you show the receipt from when you paid for the locker at the time of key return, so be careful not to lose it.

All the activities were fun. The slides, in particular, were thrilling and unlike anything in Japan, and I found myself screaming after a long time. The Shaka slide was especially entertaining. However, not all activities were open at the same time; they seemed to operate on a rotation, so sometimes when I wanted to go to the next one, it was closed, which felt a bit like a waste of time.

For lunch, I had fast food, which was delicious. During peak times, there can be quite a line. I ate at a staggered time, so I was able to avoid waiting.

If I have the chance, I would like to go again.

ホテルへ９時にウエット＆ワイルドの送迎バスが迎えにきてくれました。
その際、腕にパスポートを巻いてくれます。
バス車内ではパンフレットを見ながら映像は流れませんが、日本語で施設の音声案内がありました。
現地に着いてからは案内が無い為､聞いていた方がいいと思います。
バス車内は冷房が効いており、寒く感じるかもしれません。

現地に到着したのが１０時過ぎ。
１０時半オープンの為、しばらく待ちました。
オープン後は荷物をロッカーに預けました。ロッカーのサイズは大と小があります。ロッカー代とは別に５ドルの保証金を払います。保証金はロッカー代を支払った際のレシートを鍵返却時に見せれば戻ってきますので、なくさない様に注意した方がいいです。

アクティビティはどれも楽しかったです。
特にスライダー系は日本にはない、スリル満点な物ばかりで、久しぶりに叫びました。
特に、シャカがおもしろかったです。
ただ、全部のアクティビティがオープンしているわけではなく、交代制になっているようで、次に行こうと思っていると閉まっていたりで、時間が少し勿体無い感じもしました。

お昼はファストフードを食べましたが、美味しかったです。
ピークの時間は結構並びます。時間をずらして食べたので、並ばずに済みました。

機会があれば、また行きたいです。

We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.

The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.

All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.

There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊

早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。

スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです＾＾

I have visited Hawaii before, but I had never participated in an activity swimming with wild dolphins.

This time, I chose this highly-rated option because I was traveling with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

On this day, we were able to see many dolphins for a long time, and a sea turtle swam right by us. My friends and I were all extremely excited!!

Having light snacks included was also nice. We were able to create memories that were worth more than the price.

I definitely recommend it.

今までにもハワイを訪れたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐアクティビティーには参加した事がありませんでした。

今回初ハワイの友人を連れての旅行なので、評判の良いこちらを選びました。

この日はたくさんのイルカ達に、しかも長い時間逢うことが出来、海亀もすぐ近くを泳いでいってくれました。
私も友人たちも皆大興奮！！

軽食つきなのもいいですね。
お値段以上の想い出を貰うことが出来ました。

間違いなくオススメです。

I went on May 14th with my children, who are in the first and third grades. Since it was our first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to create fun memories for the kids, so I chose a course that included a barbecue and unlimited soft drinks.

We were picked up from the hotel and visited several hotels, arriving at the park just after 10 AM. We had to wait at the entrance for a while because we could only enter from 10:30 AM.

Although we had a limited time from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, both the kids and adults had a great time, but we still felt that the time was not enough.

Once we entered the park, we changed clothes, played, and had lunch, and the time really flew by. We even talked as a family about wanting to come back while we were playing.

Walking barefoot in the park under the strong Hawaiian sun was tough. It felt like my soles might get burned, so next time I want to wear something like beach shoes.

Also, I want to rent a car next time so we can play until closing time.

Although it was called a lunch barbecue, what was provided was a lunch box with a grilled meat bento, salad, and fruit. They said it was all-you-can-eat, but we couldn't eat that much... However, my fruit-loving kids went back for seconds.

5/14に行きました。小学１年、３年の子供と一緒にでした。初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、子供たちに楽しい思い出を残してあげたかったのでバーベキューとソフトドリンク飲み放題付きのコースにしました。

ホテルにピックアップに来てもらって、いくつかのホテルを回り、パークに付いたのは10時過ぎ。10時30分からしか入れないとの事でしばらく入り口で待たされました。

10時30分~15時までと限られた時間の中、子供も大人も凄く楽しめましたが、やっぱり時間が足らないと感じました。

パーク内に入り、着替えをして遊んで、ランチを食べて、本当にあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。遊びながらまた来たいねと家族で話すほど。

ハワイの強い日差しの中、素足でパーク内を歩くのはヤバかった。足の裏がやけどしてしまいそうだったので、次回行くときは、ビーチシューズみたいのを履いて歩きたいと思います。

それから、次回は営業時間いっぱいに遊びたいのでレンタカーを借りて行きたいな。　

ランチバーベキューとあったけど、提供されたのはランチボックスに入った焼き肉弁当、サラダ、フルーツでした。こちらが食べ放題とのことだっったけど、そんなに食べられない・・・ただフルーツLOVEな子供たちはおかわりしてました。

From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!

Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.

On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!

I immediately recognized the large bus marked "Wet n Wild." The driver was a foreigner, but the guide was Japanese, and I quickly received a wristband that served as my ticket before boarding the bus.

Inside the bus, there was a monitor, and I thought they would show videos of the park, but it only provided audio explanations. That was a bit disappointing. Since I had some free time, I looked at the pamphlet I received. The bus stopped at about five hotels and took about an hour to reach our destination. However, there was no explanation that the park opened at 10:30, so we arrived at 10:00 and ended up waiting in the blazing sun for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. (During that time, I applied sunscreen.)

Additionally, I heard from the guide that no food or drinks could be brought into the park, so I threw away two half-finished plastic bottles in the trash at the entrance. However, the guide who checked our bags only glanced at them briefly. (That felt a bit wasteful.)

The park was very large, but since there were children with us, the activities were somewhat limited. So, we mostly played (taking turns as a couple). There was a long slide suitable for kids, and there were water guns, and if you let your guard down, water would splash down on you, which was a lot of fun. We played together with other children.

For lunch, there was only one place to eat. Moreover, there was no Japanese menu, so we ordered by looking at pictures. I wasn't sure what the rolled item was, but it turned out to be slightly spicy potatoes. It was quite tasty. Just keep in mind that only cash is accepted, so it might be a good idea to bring a little extra.

Since my child is small, I needed towels and tissues for wiping noses, so I didn't leave my bag in a locker. I placed my belongings on a chair while we played, but there were staff members around, so nothing happened. In the lazy river, we borrowed floaties and swam together, and our belongings were safe.

For the return trip, we had to gather at the bus by 3:15, so the time really flew by. After eating and playing a bit, it was already 3:00. If you want to do more, you might need to manage your time carefully. Since you also need to account for the time to return to the hotel, it can't be helped, but I wish they would stay open a little longer (the park closes at 4:30).

The return bus had air conditioning, so...

ウエットアンドワイルドと書かれた大きなバスでピックアップすぐにわかりました。
ドライバーさんは外人さんでしたがガイドさんが日本人の方で、すぐにチケットとなるリストバンドを手首にしてバスに乗りました。

バスの中にはモニターがあって園内の映像でも流れるのかと思ったらただ音声での説明だけ。ちょっと残念。暇だったのでもらったパンフレットを見てました。
バスは５件くらいホテルをまわり高速に乗って１時間くらいでつきました。
でもオープンが10時半からと説明もなかったので10時に着いてわけもわからず30分くらい炎天下で並んでいました。（その間に日焼け止めを塗りましたが）

また、園内には飲み物や食べ物は一切持ち込めないとガイドさんから聞いていたので、飲みかけのペットボトル２本を入口のゴミ箱に捨てました。でも見に来たのはさっきのガイドさんで、しかもさらっとしかバックを見なかったです。（ちょっともったいなかった）

園内はとても広かったですが子供もいたので遊べる物は限られていました。なのであまり他のことはしないで（夫婦交代交代で）遊びました。でも子供にしては長いすべり台もあるし水が出る鉄砲みたいなのはあるし、気を抜いていると貯まった水がジャーっとかかるしと、とっても楽しかったです。他の子供と一緒になって遊んでいました。

お昼は食べるところが１箇所しかないです。しかも日本語メニューはないので絵でみて注文しました。クルクルしたものがなんなのかわからなかったのですが、ちょっと辛いポテトでした。普通においしかったです。ただ全て現金しか使えないので少し多めに持って行った方がいいかも。

子供も小さいのでタオルや鼻水を拭くティッシュが必要だったのでバックはロッカーには預けませんでした。イスに荷物を置いて遊んでいましたがあちらこちらにスタッフがいるので何事もありませんでした。
流れるプールでは浮き輪を借りてみんなで泳ぎましたが荷物も無事でした。

帰りは３時１５分にバスに集合だったので、ホントにあっという間です。ご飯を食べてちょっと遊んで着替えるとすぐに３時です。他にもあれこれ乗りたいなら時間配分が必要かも。ホテルに帰る時間も必要だからしょうがないけど、もう少し遅くまでやっていればなーと思います（園内は４時半で終わり）

帰りのバスはクーラーが効いているので

I participated with my elementary school son. He said it was the most fun he had on our trip to Hawaii (laughs).

小学生の息子と参加しました。
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったと息子は言ってました(笑)

By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.

Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.

We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici

First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.

I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.

The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.

One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!

This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared

I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!

In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.

One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m

I participated on Sunday, April 29, during Golden Week. I expected it to be crowded, but perhaps due to the slightly chilly weather and light rain in the afternoon, there were fewer people. Everything flowed smoothly except for the Raging River, and I was able to enjoy all the attractions, which made me very satisfied. The bodyboarding was especially fun; we rented the large wave pool for 30 minutes with 88 people and got to ride the waves to our heart's content. I was a beginner, but the instructor timed it perfectly to help me catch the waves, allowing me to enjoy it multiple times.

For the Island Racer and Raging River, it's better to ride early when it's less crowded since they switch every 30 minutes. Both are popular attractions. The most thrilling and scary ride was Shaka. This ride also stops every 30 minutes, so it's wise to ride it while it's less busy. I don't think there are many attractions with this level of thrill in Japan, so families with children will definitely enjoy it.

Lunch was a buffet with all-you-can-eat options including hot dogs, rice, fried chicken, spare ribs, beef steak, salad, and fruit. Although the selection was limited, the beef was very tender, juicy, and delicious. Of course, I was able to go back for seconds, which made me very happy. Drinks were available at a bar-like area in the center of the pool, where you could drink as much as you wanted. Many people came without lunch, but there was only one food court. They sold pizza, hot dogs, local foods, and desserts, but I think it’s more economical to sign up for the lunch package with unlimited drinks.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day. The bus transportation was in a large bus that took us right to the front entrance, and we arrived before opening. We were able to stay until after 3 PM, which was great, but time flew by because we were having so much fun, and I wanted to play even more. So next time, I plan to rent a car and spend a full day there.

I think riding the popular attractions "Raging River, Shaka, and Tornado" in the morning will make it easier to get around later. When we went, the Island Racer was popular, and since four people can start at the same time, the wait time was very short, allowing us to enjoy it three times in a row. After the rain, it got a bit chilly, so we were able to warm up in the jacuzzi. Going with a large family will definitely make for an exciting time!

4/29ＧＷの日曜日に参加。混んでいるだろうと予測しておりましたが当日は少し肌寒く午後からは小雨も降ったせいか人が少なくレイジングリバー以外はスムーズに流れすべてのアトラクションを制覇する事が出来てとても満足でした。何と言ってもボディボードは大きな波のプール8８人で30分貸し切って思いっきり波に乗る事が出来ました。私は初心者でしたがインストラクターの方がタイミングを見計らってうまく波に乗せてくれるので何度も何度も楽しむ事ができました。アイランドレーサー＆レイジングリバーは30分交代なので空いている時は早目に乗る方がいいです。どちらも人気があるアトラクションです。1番スリル満点で怖かったのはシャカです。こちらも30分に1度運転停止になるので空いている間に乗るのが賢いです。まあ日本ではこんなにスリルがあるアトラクションはないと思うので家族ずれの子供なんかはとても喜ぶと思います。ランチは食べ放題のビュッフェ付きでホットドック、ご飯、唐揚げ、スペアリブ、牛肉のステーキ、サラダ、フルーツと品数は少なかったのですがこちらの牛肉がとても柔らかくてジューシーでとても美味しかったです。勿論何回もおかわりが出来て大満足でした。ドリンクは食事以外でもプール中央辺りにあるバーの様な所で好きなだけ飲めました。お昼ご飯を付けずに来ていた人が多かったのですがフードコートは1箇所。ピザやホットドック、ローカル食べ物からデザート迄販売されてましたがランチ付きドリンク飲み放題で申込をした方がお得だと思いました。全体的にとても満足な１日でした。バスでの送迎も大型バスで正面玄関迄送ってくれるし開店前には現地到着、帰りは15時過ぎ迄ととても満足の行く時間迄滞在出来ましたが楽しくて時間が経つのが早くもっともっと遊んでいたかったです。なので次回はレンタカーを借りて丸1日遊んでみたいと思います。とにかく人気アトラクション「レイジングリバー・シャカ・トルネード」は午前中に乗っておくと後が廻りやすくなると思います。私達が行った時は「アイランドレーサー」が人気でしたが1度に4人が同時にスタートが出来るので廻ってくる順番がとても早く私達も3回一気に楽しみました。雨が降った後少し肌寒くなったのでジャグジーで体を温める事も出来ました。家族大勢で行くと盛り上がる事間違いなしです。

I visited the prestigious Dolphin University. It was truly amazing to swim right next to the dolphins, and I could even hear their calls, like "kyu."

However, be careful about the timing, as it can get quite cold. We went during Golden Week, but I didn't expect it to be this chilly. They do provide wetsuits for rent, but it costs an additional $10. Even with the wetsuit, it was still cold... The kids ended up going back to the boat because it was too cold for them.

However, the representatives and local staff were very friendly and attentive, so I highly recommend it!

名門イルカ大学に行ってきました。本当にイルカのそばで泳ぐことができ、しかも「キュー」なんているかの鳴き声まで聞こえちゃう、とても最高でした。

しかし、時期を考えないと結構寒いのでご注意を。私達はＧＷに行きましたが、まさかこんなに寒いとは。ウエットスーツを貸し出してくれますが、別料金で１０＄かかります。
ウェット着ても寒いですが・・・
子供達はあまりにもの寒さに途中で船に上がってしまいました。

しかし代表の方をはじめ、ローカルスタッフもとても気さく、かつ面倒見も良いのでオススメですよ！

This was my second visit to Wet 'n' Wild, and it was still a lot of fun. Perhaps because it was a weekday, not all the slides were open, so I was disappointed that I couldn't ride everything I wanted.

If I could have stayed an extra 30 minutes, I would have enjoyed it even more... After factoring in time for lunch and changing, the actual time to play was surprisingly short.

2度目のウェット・アンド・ワイルドでしたが、やはり楽しかったです。平日だったせいか、すべてのスライダーがオープンしてなくて、乗りたいものに乗れなかったのが残念。

帰りの時間をあと30分でも遅くしてもらえるともっと楽しめたのに…お昼食べて着替えの時間を入れると正味遊べる時間が意外に少ない。

It became a very precious memory!

とても貴重な思い出になりました♪
