All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Great greeters, buffet. Dinner entertainment and show! Beverages were bad. The Mai Tai didn't taste like a MT. Sdas watered down or missing half required syrup at $5 each. Excellent value. My teen son loved it. We all did. Thank you.

Family had a great time and staff was amazing, would recommend !

The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.

I booked a plan without meals that includes photos. I chose this because the reviews for the meals weren't great, but I think the plan without meals was sufficient. It felt like being in a movie theater where I could order drinks and enjoy the show while sipping on them. The seats were closer than I expected and easy to see!

2回席食事なし写真付きプランで予約しました。
食事の口コミがよくなかったので無しにしましたが
食事なしのプランでも充分だと思います。
映画館の様なところでドリンクを注文して、飲みながらショーを楽しむことができました。
席も思っていたよりも近くて見やすかったです！

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit to Wet 'n' Wild. It was fun, but there were several points of concern.

First, if you don't have a rental car, it's definitely better to use the shuttle bus. Trying to rely on public transportation or walking is not advisable. By the way, if you're taking the shuttle bus, make sure to wait at the entrance by 2:40 PM for your return. While I can't say for everyone, at least one person from your group should be there. This is because the return bus has a loose check-in process. Although this didn't happen to us, someone boarded the return bus, and the driver mistakenly thought everyone was gathered, leading to an early departure. As a result, a family that arrived right on time was left stranded and had to pay a lot for a taxi to Waikiki, despite having already paid for the shuttle bus. They might have booked through a different travel company (like JTB), but it seems the operation is managed by Wet 'n' Wild. I think this aspect should be checked more thoroughly.

Aside from that, similar to other reviews, the lazy river was not operating, so those who can't ride the drop attractions have limited options. Many attractions were not running due to a lack of staff, as they were multitasking. The bodyboard attendants, who should have been providing free bodyboard tickets, told us we couldn't use them because we didn't have a band, which took time to resolve.

The facility itself is enjoyable, but due to the reasons mentioned above and the short operating hours, I think the cost-effectiveness is poor, and it might be enough to visit just once.

ハワイには何度か来たことはありましたが、今回初めてウェットアンドワイルドに来ました。楽しかったは楽しかったのですが、色々と気になる点が。
まず、レンタカーなど車が無い人は必ずシャトルバスを使った方が良いことです。公共交通機関とあわよくば歩いて行こうとするのは辞めた方が良いでしょう。ちなみに、シャトルバスの場合、帰る時は2時40分には入り口で待ってましょう。全員とは言いませんがグループなら誰か一人でも。それは帰りのバスはチェックが緩いからです。これは私達ではありませんが、誰かが帰りのバスに乗ってしまい、運転手は集まったと勘違いして予定より早く出発したせいで、集合時間きっかりに来た家族が路頭に迷い、やむなくタクシーで大金払ってワイキキまで行ったそうです。シャトルバスの金額を払ったにもかかわらずです。申し込んだのはベルトラではなく違う旅行会社(JTBとか)かも知れませんが、運営してるのはウェットアンドワイルド側と思います。この点はもう少しきちんとチェックされた方が良いように思います。
それ以外は他のクチコミと同じく、
流れるプールがやって無いので落ちる系のものが乗れない人は遊ぶのが限られる、
やっているアトラクションも従業員が少なく掛け持ちしてるためやっていないことが多い
ボディーボードの係員はボディーボードのフリーチケットのはずなのに「バンドが無いからダメ」と言われてやれるまで時間がかかる、
といったことがあります。
施設自体は楽しいのですが、上記の理由と営業時間の短さから、コスパは悪く、一度行けば良いかなと思います。

I definitely want to ride again when I come to Hawaii. The scenery, with mountains and the ocean, allowed me to fully enjoy nature. I truly made the best memories in Hawaii.

またハワイに来たら絶対乗りたいです。
景色も山と海があり、大自然満喫できました。
本当にハワイ１最高の思い出ができました。

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).

We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).

The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)

We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!

The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!

現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした！！まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)

移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした！)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました！！(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました！

ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました！！
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo！

We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem that we couldn't speak English. There was some music and drinks that we could pay for as we went, and looking at Waikiki from the sea was a different experience that made for a very satisfying time.

日本人は私達だけでしたが英語が話せなくとも問題無いです。多少の音楽と、都度払いのお酒があり、ワイキキを海から眺めるのは又違う体験でとても満足した時間を過ごせました。

My fiance and I had an absolutely phenomenal time going out to the sandbar. We did the banana boat and that was an absolute blast. We then did the SUP, and while I was horrible at that, the hosts were very helpful in teaching me how to do it. Next time I come to Oahu, I am absolutely going to book this experience again.

The HA breath of life show was a hit!! we really enjoyed culture center a lot. On the way, the scenery is great also.

We had a wonderful time sailing and enjoying the sunset and a few drinks.
Brian and Brodie (I think was their names) were great fun.
I would recommend this trip it was a great experience.

You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Kualoa while riding a horse.

The horse knows the route well, so you basically don’t have to do much to keep moving forward.

The local staff provides explanations, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying in English; however, during that time, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.

The views had a power that photos just can't capture.

You can also have photos taken, so I was satisfied.

クアロアの絶景を馬に乗りながら楽しめます

馬がルートをほとんど把握してるので基本的に何もしなくても進んでくれます

現地スタッフが解説してくれてますが英語で何言ってるか分かりませんが、その間に絶景を楽しめます

景色は写真では伝わりきらない迫力がありました

写真も撮ってもらえるので満足です

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました！

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました！！
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした（泣）

また利用させていただきたいです！
この度は本当にありがとうございました！

Overall great experience of hawaiian culture.
All 6 villages, all helpful staff and then great food in the end. And ending it with cultural show snd fire show

Excellent customer service + a great band + lots of equipment (snorkel, kayak, SUP, life jackets) + good food = a fantastic time!

It was the best of the best experience for skydiving! The scenery and location were good, the staff were kind, and I was able to capture it in photos and videos. I also received a lot of T-shirts and commemorative goods, which was great. If I had to say something, it would have been nice to speak more English, and it would have been even better if they had reminded me to face the camera more during the video shoot, haha. It's a bit selfish, but more than anything, I'm glad I had such an amazing experience, so I highly recommend it, and I strongly want to try skydiving in another location!!!

スカイダイビングの経験としては最高of最高でした！
景色やLocationはGood、Staffの皆様も優しくて、写真にも動画にも残せて、Tシャツも記念Goodsもたくさんもらえてよかったです
強いて言うなら、英語がもっと喋れたらよかったのかもしれませんが、動画撮像の時にカメラの方もっと向くことを声かけしてくれてたら、もっとよかったです笑
わがままですが、でも何よりも最高の経験ができたことがよかったのでおすすめですし、また別の場所でスカイダイビングしたいと強く思えました！！！

Thank you!

You can receive an explanation in advance from the Japanese guide. I chose the rental bicycle option, which was comfortable. I was able to swim in both Ilikai Beach and Lanikai Beach, experiencing the unique qualities of each. The guide also informed us about points where we could see fish and provided a map that included Kailua Town. Lastly, it seems to be customary to give a tip along with the questionnaire.

日本人のガイドさんから事前に説明を聞けます。オプションはレンタサイクルを選びましたが、これが快適でした。イリカイビーチとラニカイビーチ両方の海に入ることができ、それぞれの良さを感じれました。事前にガイドさんから魚が見れるポイントを教えていただいたり、カイルアタウン含めての地図ももらえました。最後にアンケート含めて、チップをお渡しする慣習のようです。

I was satisfied to be able to ride a horse alone for two hours. There were times when I felt rushed because the instructions were only in English, but the horse was smart, so I didn't have any problems, haha. The scenery was beautiful!

1人で馬に2時間乗ることができ満足です。
指示が英語のみで焦る時もありますが、馬がお利口なので困ることはありませんでした笑
景色が素敵でした！

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit Kaneohe Bay again for a scattering ceremony, as I had previously done so at the sandbar area. However, although it was advertised as a Kaneohe Bay cruise, it was not at all near the sandbar I wanted to go to, and instead, it cruised in a completely different area far from the sandbar.

The cruise itself was good; the boat was large, and we were able to see many turtles, but I think the tour name should be changed.

カネオエ湾(サンドバーのあたり)で散骨ツアーをしたので、7回忌に再度散骨したカネオエ湾へ行きたいと思い今回のツアーを選びました。しかしカネオエ湾クルーズと書いてありましたが私が行きたかったサンドバーあたりのカネオエ湾ではなく全然サンドバーからは遠い場所をクルーズするツアーでした。
クアロアランチからわりとすぐの海をクルーズするツアーでした。


クルーズ自体は船も大きく亀もたくさんみれて良かったですがツアー名は変えたほうがいいと思いました。

It's been four years since my last visit to Hawaii. About 15 years ago, I also took a ride on a catamaran, and the view of Waikiki from the sea was just as wonderful as I remembered. A sea turtle even popped its head up, and I felt lucky.

I completely forgot that I get motion sickness and ended up feeling nauseous, but the staff were attentive and offered ice, checking on my condition multiple times. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had prepared some motion sickness medication.

4年ぶりのHawaii。15年くらい前にもカタマラン号に乗船したことがありますが、海から見るワイキキの景色は昔と同じで素晴らしかったです。ウミガメも顔を出してくれて、幸運をもらった気分でした。
乗り物に弱いことをすっかり忘れて、乗り物酔いしてしまいましたが、氷をサービスして下さってスタッフは体調に気遣いして何度も声をかけてくださいました。酔い止めを準備しておくともっと楽しめたと思います。

Seven years ago, my wife and I participated, but just a week before, I fractured my shoulder bone, so I couldn't join the snorkeling or SUP activities. I was envious watching my wife challenge SUP for the first time and quickly stand up.

This time, I was in perfect health and was able to fully enjoy snorkeling and SUP with my wife, which had been my long-held wish.

Seven years ago, there were few SUP boards available, and we couldn't ride much due to waiting in line, but now there are plenty, allowing us to play freely without waiting.

During snorkeling, I was deeply moved to quietly watch a sea turtle come right up to me.

With the end of COVID, there were more Japanese participants. Over 80% of the bus and boat passengers were Japanese, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff. The entire experience was conducted in English, and I think both the clientele and staff have changed since seven years ago.

Seven years ago, before getting on the return bus, I had time to change into dry clothes in the restroom, so I came prepared to change, but everyone was waiting on the bus in their wet swimsuits, and I felt bad about that.

One more disappointing thing was that previously, a group photo of all participants, including staff, was taken at the sandbar and could be purchased online, but that service has been discontinued. It would be great if they could bring that back, as it makes for wonderful memories.

７年前に一度夫婦で参加しましたが、その１週間前に私が肩の骨を骨折してしまい、シュノーケリングもSUPも参加出来ずに終わりました。
妻がSUPのみチャレンジし、初めてなのに直ぐに立ち上がっているのを見て羨ましく思っていました。

今回は万全の体調で参加出来、念願のシュノーケリングもSUPも夫婦で思いっきり楽しむ事が出来ました。

７年前は遊べるSUPの数が少なく、順番待ちであまり乗れませんでしたが、現在は数も十分確保されており、順番待ち無く心置き無く遊ぶ事が出来ました。

シュノーケリングでも、目の前まで寄って来たホヌを静かに見る事が出来て、大変感動しました。

コロナが収束して日本人の参加者も増えて居ました。
乗って来たバスもボートも８割以上が日本人でしたが、日本語対応のスタッフが居ませんでした。
終始英語のみの進行で、７年前と客層もスタッフも変わっていたんだと思います。

７年前は帰りのバスに乗る前に、トイレで乾いた服に着替える時間があったので、そのつもりで着替えて来たら、皆濡れた水着のままバスに乗って待っており、申し訳ない事をしてしまいました。

あと一つだけ残念だったのは、以前はスタッフも含めた参加者全員のサンドバーでの集合写真を撮って、netで購入出来たのですが、その様なサービスが無くなっっていた事です。
良い思い出になるので、またやってくれると良いですね。

The water was murky and visibility was not very good, which was disappointing. Since we departed in the early afternoon, it might have been murky because of that. If we had gone in the early morning, the sea might have been calm and clear, allowing for better visibility. However, I was able to experience the thrill of navigating through the 30-meter deep sea.

海の中は濁っておりあまり良く見えず期待以下でした。午後一番での出発だったので濁っていたのかも知れません。朝一番だったら海は穏やかで透明でもう少し良く見えたのかも知れません。水深30メートルの海の中を航行しているというドキドキ感を味わうことができました。

My sisters and I had an amazing adventure. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. All the staff members were fantastic from beginning to ending. There were bathrooms available on board and our belongs were kept with care as if it was their own. We would do this again with KBOS. This is one activity that cannot be missed.

First, the pickup was confusing and chaotic.
Finally, the shuttle arrived, and we headed to the location, but the air conditioning was too cold.
We boarded the boat and went out to sea; the ocean was indeed beautiful, but the water temperature was low, making it difficult to stay in for long. Moreover, while they provided goggles, there were no fins available, and we couldn't go to areas with coral, so we couldn't see any fish.
Given the strong yen and inflation, it was disappointing that it didn't feel worth the high cost.

まず送迎がわかりづらく混乱。
やっと送迎が来て、現地へ向かったがクーラーが効いてて寒い。
船に乗船して沖に行き、確かに海綺麗なんだけど、海水温が低くて長時間入ってられない。しかもゴーグルは貸してくれるけど足ヒレがなく、サンゴのある所へ行くのはNGのため魚も見れない。
円高＆インフレで高い割に感動がなく残念でした。

Masks, goggles, and helmets were provided for free.

A driver's license is required for the person driving.

I forgot my license, and the staff member drove for me, but it was better to have them drive because they explained various things and pointed out different spots (all in English).

マスク、ゴーグル、ヘルメットは無料で貸してもらえた。

運転する人は、運転免許証は必須。

免許証忘れて、スタッフの人が運転してくれたが、自分で運転するよりも、運転してもらった方が、色々と説明・各スポットを教えてくれて良かった(全て英語だが)。

We purchased a plan just for the show with our family, and since we arrived a bit early, we were able to sit in the front row, which was great. The show lasted about two hours and included traditional hula dancing, performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, and fire dancing, making it a very fulfilling experience. Additionally, after the show, we were able to take photos with the performers and get their autographs, so it was a lot of fun right until the very end.

家族でショーだけのプランを購入しましたが、少し早めに着いたこともあり、前の方の席で観れたのでとてもよかったです。約2時間のショーで伝統的なフラダンスから、エルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショー、ファイヤーダンスもありとても充実したショーでした。また、終わった後に出演者と写真を撮ったりサインをもらうことができたので、最後の最後までとても楽しかったです。

Horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii became the best memory! The instructor was very kind and even took photos for us. I was very satisfied! I want to go again!!!

ハワイの大自然の中での乗馬は最高の思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方がとても親切に話しかけてくださり、また写真も撮ってくださいました。
大満足でした！また行きたいです！！！

The crew was amazing. We loved the music performance inside the boat. The view is spectacular and we really enjoyed the activities. We did SUP, kayaking and snorkeling. Also, we had time to relax in the floating lounge and water. We would do this activity again for sure!

I participated with my daughter. The staff who provided explanations in Japanese before we set sail and those who guided us on the boat were all very kind, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

They let us know when we approached the area known as Heart Reef and when the honu appeared.

We played with SUP and other activities in the first half, followed by snorkeling in the second half. There were SUP boards, floaties, and water guns, and we had 45 minutes of fun. Along the way, the staff came around to each participant to take photos, which was a delightful service.

For snorkeling, those who couldn't swim were given something like a float to hold onto, and the staff pulled them along. Even if you can't swim, you can participate safely as long as you wear a life jacket, and the staff stays with you the whole time.

I was moved to swim with the honu.

娘と2人で参加しました。
船で出航前に日本語で説明してくださるスタッフも、
船に乗って、操縦や案内をするスタッフも、みなさん優しくて、
終始、楽しく参加できました。

ホヌが現れたり、ハートリーフと呼ばれる場所に近付くと、教えてくれます。

わたしたちは、前半にSUPなどで遊び、後半にシュノーケリングでした。
SUP、浮き輪、水鉄砲などあり、45分間遊びました。
途中、スタッフの方がそれぞれの参加者のところを回って、
写真を撮ってくれました。
うれしいサービスです。

シュノーケルは、泳げない人は浮き輪（？）のようなものにつかまらせてくれて、
スタッフの方が引っ張ってくれます。
泳げなくても、ライフジャケットを着用し、スタッフの方がずっとついててくれるので、安心して参加できました。

ホヌとも泳げて、感動しました。

Tour guides where awesome and the views and scenery where beautiful. However we where disappointed that there wasn’t a lot of more Jurassic park props and scenery. Also didn’t like that we had to wait 3 hours after the tour to head back .
