This was our family's first time participating as a group. I had heard from repeat visitors that it was amazing, but it was even more than that in reality! My son, who loves excitement, went from slide to slide. He also tried the "Shaka" and seemed very satisfied, while I, being the more cautious one, just prayed for his safety during that time. My daughter, who takes after me, was initially surprised by the waves in the wave pool, but she was happily floating around. All in all, it was a fun experience, and the three hours flew by. If we have the chance, we would definitely love to come again.
こちらもグループファミリーでの初参加でした。リピータの方に、とにかくすごいヨ、とは聞いていましたが、実際はそれ以上!!ドキドキ大好きの息子は、次から次へとスベリ台へ。「シャカ」にも挑戦し大満足の様子で、怖がり私は、その間ただひたすら無事を祈っておりました。ママ似の娘は、波のでるプールで、最初はその波のすごさに驚いていた様ですが、楽しくちゃぷちゃぷ浮かんでおりました。とにもかくにも、楽しいの一語で、あっという間の3時間ちょっとでした。チャンスがあれば、是非また。

I participated with my family group. I had heard it was fun, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected. It was a pity that two attractions were closed. The wave pool had really big waves, and it felt like I was about to drown! The attraction with the float called "Shaka" was quite steep, which surprised me. My child said it was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii. For lunch, we had pizza and burgers, which were quite tasty. I thought I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii.
グループファミリーで参加しました。
楽しいとは聞いていましたが、予想以上に楽しかったです。
アトラクションが二つほどお休みだったのが残念でした。
波のでるプールはすごく大きな波でおぼれる寸前??という感じでした。
シャカという浮き輪でバイキングのようなアトラクションは傾斜がかなり急で
びっくりしました。
子どももハワイ旅行のなかで一番楽しかったと言っています。
お昼は自分たちでピザやバーガーも結構それなりにおいしかったです。
ハワイに行ったらまた行きたいな~と思いました。

My husband and I decided to go to Hawaii, and as soon as we found Hawaiian Water Park in the guidebook, we made a quick decision based on my husband's love for slides! I thought the price was a bit high, but since we dislike hassle, we boldly signed up for an all-inclusive package. Although the pickup was not from our hotel, we felt reassured by the timely pickup. Once we arrived, I was impressed by the variety of slides, and since meals and free drinks were included, we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about spare change. Initially, we weren't planning to participate in the bodyboard lesson, but since the pool was reserved exclusively for package participants and the instructor was very friendly, we had a great time joining in. I think this tour would satisfy anyone, whether it's their first time in Hawaii or if they're a family or couple. I definitely recommend participating at least once!☆
主人とハワイへ行く事になり、ガイドブックでハワイアンウォーターパークを見つけるなりスライダー好きの主人の意見で即決!料金はやや高いかなぁ~とも思いましたが、煩わしい事が苦手な私たちは思い切って全て込みのパックに申し込みました。お迎えは泊まったホテルではありませんでしたが、時間どおりのピックUPで安心出来ました。着いてからもスライダーの種類が多い事に感激しましたし、食事付き・フリードリンクだったので、小銭の心配をせず時間いっぱい楽しめました。また、当初は参加するつもりのなかったボディーボードレッスンですが、このパックの参加者のみプールが貸切になったのと、先生がとても感じ良く教えて下さったので本当に楽しく参加できました。初めてハワイに行かれる方やファミリー・カップルのどの方でも満足できるツアーだと思います。是非1度参加してみて下さい☆

It was my first time feeling dizzy at the pool. Since children were free, it was quite affordable. Also, the food inside the venue is relatively inexpensive, so I wonder if it's okay not to choose a plan that includes lunch?
プールに行って目が回ったのは初めてです。
子供無料だったので結構安上がりでした。
また場内の食べ物は比較的安価なので昼食付のプランでなくても良いかな??

I participated on the final day, April 10th. I saw a few spouts from a distance and caught a glimpse of a tail once. It was said that we could navigate beyond Diamond Head, but it felt like we were just circling around the same area in search of whales.
There were observation areas on both the first and second floors, but I personally recommend the first floor. There was a dedicated photographer constantly ready to capture the best shots, so if you looked in that direction, you could see the whales. However, perhaps because of the photographer, the boat was often turned to ensure the whales were always in front, so even if you spotted a spout while eating at the table, the direction would quickly change, and you wouldn't be able to see it unless you went to the observation deck.
Also, there was a Japanese guide available, but since they were interpreting, there was a slight delay, so I didn't quite understand everything.
Additionally, I made a reservation through ALAN, and upon arrival, I was instructed to call, but due to a system malfunction, I couldn't complete the operation, which made me very anxious that my reservation might be canceled. In the end, I called the organizer, Atlantic Cruises, directly to confirm that my reservation was indeed secure.
4月10日の最終日に参加して来ました。遠くでの塩吹きが数回と尾びれがチラッと見えたのが1回でした。
ダイアモンドヘッドを越えて航行できるってことでしたが、鯨を求めて同じようなところをぐるぐると周回している感じでした。
展望室が2階と1階にありましたが、私的には1階がお勧めでした。専属のカメラマン?の方がベストショットを撮るべく常時構えてあるので、その方向を見れば鯨がいるのがわかりますから。ただ、そのカメラマンの為なのか、いつも正面に鯨が来るように方向転換されるので、潮吹きを食事しながらテーブルで見つけても、すぐ、向きが変わるので展望台に行かないと見えません。
また、一応日本語ガイドがありますが、通訳なのでワンテンポ遅れるので、あんまり良くわかりませんでした。
それとALANでの予約でしたが、現地到着したら電話をするように指示されてましたが、システムの故障の為、操作が完了できなかったので予約が取り消されるのではないかと、とても不安になりました。
結局、主催のアトランティッククルーズに直接電話して、予約できていることを確認しましたが。

I had an incredibly fun time! The slides were super enjoyable. It was less crowded than in Japan, so I could ride everything quickly, which was great. My brother and cousin went on the slides multiple times. I found the wave pool to be the most interesting. The only downside was that it rained and got cold. But I definitely want to go again!

This time in Hawaii, it was a terrible situation with rain, rain, and more rain during our stay. If we hadn't booked through ALAN, I definitely wouldn't have gone to the water park in the rain. ^^; But I thought, "Let's just go for it!" and drove over.
First of all, I think the park itself would be amazing on a sunny day. In fact, even in the rain, the kids (ages 7, 8, 9, and 12) were all happily playing on the slides and in the wave pool. They tried almost all the slides multiple times. The kids easily carried their floaties up to the top. Meanwhile, the parents watching from below were shivering from the cold, but the water flowing down the slides felt somewhat warm. So, it would have been better for the parents to join in as well. (Normally, you wouldn't have to deal with this in Hawaii...)
Also, the staff's response was quite positive. Everyone greeted us with smiles. The girl at the shop near the entrance was especially kind.
We only booked the entrance fee and drove there with a rental car, but we got lost on the way to the park after getting off the H1! I thought there would be signs once we got off, so I was relaxed, but we ended up wandering down strange roads. In the end, I had to call a local friend who was waiting at the park gate to come pick us up. Therefore, if the directions after getting off the H1 were clearer, I think the cost performance for just the entrance fee would be good.
You can buy food inside, and for families with picky eaters, the full set plan might be a bit of a waste?!
Overall, even in that rain, the kids said they had fun, so I would like to go again next time. Hopefully, it will be a sunny day then...
今回のハワイは滞在中、雨・雨・雨で最悪状態でした。
ウォーターパークも、雨の中、ALANで申し込みしていなかったら絶対行ってなかったと思います。^^;で、この際行ってしまえ~!!と思い切って車を飛ばして行って来ました。
まず、パーク自体、お天気の日なら最高に楽しめるパークだと思いました。実際、雨でも子供達(7,8,9,12歳)はみんな喜んでスライダーや波のプールで遊んでました。ほとんどのスライダーを何度も何度もトライしてました。子供達だけでも楽勝で浮き輪を上まで持って運んでました。下で見ている親は寒くて震えてましたが、スライダーで流れている水は心なしか温かく感じました。なので、親も一緒に乗ったほうが良かったです。(普段のハワイならこんな思いする必要ないのですが。。。)
それから、スタッフの方の対応はかなり好感触でした。みんな笑顔で接してくださいました。特に出入り口にあるショップの女の子はとってもやさしかった。
うちは入場料のみで申し込んでレンタカーで行ったのですが、H1を降りてからパークまで迷いました!降りたらサインがあるんだろうと気楽に思ってたのですが、どんどん変な道に迷い込み、結局パークのゲートで待ち合わせしていた現地の友達に電話してそこまで迎えに来てもらうはめになりました。なので、H1を降りた後の道案内がわかりやすければ、入場料のみの場合のコストパフォーマンスはGOODだと思います。
食べ物も中で買えるし、特に好き嫌いの多いお子さん連れにはフルセットのプランはちょっともったいないかも?!
トータル的に、あの雨の中でも子供達は楽しかったと言っているので、次回もう一度行ってみたいと思っています。今度は絶対晴れている日に。。。

I participated on Sunday, March 27th. Despite the unfortunate weather, we set sail! At first, we saw the whales from a distance, but they gradually came closer and appeared multiple times, and we even got to see their tails. In the end, there were three whales swimming parallel to the boat! I was amazed and deeply moved. Since there were concerns about the weather and whale sightings, I joined the deluxe course. The meals were worth the price, and we enjoyed the culture with ukulele, hula dancing, and lei-making—my family was very satisfied! However, all the participants in this course were Japanese.
3月27日(日)に参加しました。あいにくの天候でも出航!はじめはちょっと遠目の潮吹きでしたが、だんだん近寄り何度も何度も現れて、尻尾まで見られました。最後には、船と平行して泳ぐ鯨さんが3頭?!!驚くばかりで感動しましたよ。天候と鯨出現の不安があったため、デラックスコースで参加。食事もこの価格なら納得、カルチャーのウクレレやフラダンス&レイ作りどれも楽しく過ごせて家族は大満足!!でも、このコースの参加者は日本人ばかりでした。

We participated as a group of five: three adults and two children under elementary school age (the children were free).
I was surprised by the number of slides and the height of the waves in the wave pool. There were slides that I had never experienced in Japan. We brought along my grandfather, who is over 60, and I was worried if he would enjoy it, but he took care of his grandchildren in the kids' pool, enjoyed cocktails at the bar, and relaxed in the shade. There was nothing to worry about. Surprisingly, there were plenty of shaded areas, so those accompanying children or grandchildren don’t have to worry about sunburn!
We chose a plan without lunch, and while eating hamburgers at a fast-food place is fine, I personally recommend the lunch boxes from the food stalls (similar to bento).
Overall, I was satisfied, but if I had one complaint, it would be that some slides were not available, and there was a pool (the lazy river) that could only be used from 12:30. So, just because the park opened, it didn’t mean everything was available right away.
The shuttle service was punctual, and overall, my whole family was extremely satisfied.
The kids were thrilled, and we promised to go again. Alan, I look forward to seeing you next time! (*^。^*)
大人3人、小学生以下の子供2人の計5人で参加しました。(子供無料申請しました。)
スライダーの数、波のプールの波の高さにビックリしました。スライダーは、日本では体験した事のないものもありました。
60歳過ぎのおじいちゃんも一緒に行ったんですけど、楽しめるか不安がありましたが、キッズプールで孫の面倒をみて、バーでカクテルを飲んで、木陰でのんびり休憩と・・・何も心配ありませんでした。思いのほか木陰が多いので子供や孫の付き添いで来た方達も日焼けを気にしなくてもいいですよ!
ランチなしのプランだったのですが、ファーストフードでハンバーガーを食べるのもいいのですが、私的には屋台のランチボックス(お弁当みたいな物)が、絶対におすすめです。
トータル的に見て、満足なのですが、唯一不満があるとしたら、一部利用の出来ないスライダーがあったり、12:30からしか利用の出来ないプール(流れるプール)があったりと、開園したから、全て利用出来る訳じゃなかったって事位ですかね・・・
送迎の時間も守られていたし、とにかく家族全員、大・大・大満足でした。
子供たちも大喜びで、また行く約束をしました。
アランちゃん、次回もよろしくお願いしますね(*^。^*)

I booked a group tour for the standard package starting at 10:30 on January 29. The weather was fantastic that day, and since the temperature was high, most of the members went up to the rooftop deck to relax and enjoy some drinks while waiting for the whales to appear.
There were frequent announcements from the captain about sightings of spouts in various directions near Diamond Head. We could indeed see spouts in the distance, but we joked that it felt more like "spout watching" than "whale watching."
However, right in front of us at the back of the boat, we spotted a whale swimming just below the surface! Without moving much, this whale showcased its spout, body, and tail for us! Everyone was moved by this experience. We never expected to see them up close like this.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to go during this time of year. It was truly amazing!

この日は天気も凄く良く気温も高かった為にメンバーの殆どが屋上デッキに上がり
日光浴がてらアルコールを飲みながらノンビリとクジラの出現を待っていました。
ダイヤモンドヘッド沖辺りからキャプテンのアナウンスで 何時の方角に潮吹きを発見 とのアナウンスが頻繁にでました。
確かに遠くの方に潮が上がっているのが見えるけど、これってホエールウオッチングじゃなくて潮吹きウッチングじゃない 苦笑と悪態ついていました。
が!船尾部分に陣取っていた私たちの目の前、船の際・真下に泳いでいるクジラを発見!!!
場所もさほど移動もせずに、このクジラさんは 潮吹き・胴体・テール全てを披露してくれました!!!

The ship was large, and at first, it was impressive, but I gradually became bored. The whales didn't show themselves much, so I started to feel anxious just looking at the sea. However, after a while, I saw the spout of a whale and caught a glimpse of its tail. I had imagined the photos shown in the activity introduction, so I thought, "Huh? Is that all??" I had ordered a course without meals, so I ended up with nothing to do and just stared blankly.
But on the way back, we were able to see a large group of dolphins jumping near the ship, and the whole boat erupted in cheers!! That was much more moving.
There is a rule that you can't get within 100 meters of the whales, and there's no guarantee that you'll see them, so if you go in too eager from the start, you might be disappointed. Since it's nature, luck plays a part.
I've heard that on some days you can see whales jumping, so if I get the chance, I might consider trying again. I would recommend it for those who can take it easy.
船は大きく、最初は感動するのですが、次第に飽きてしまいました。クジラもなかなか姿を見せてくれずただ海を見ているだけ状態だったので、不安になりましたが、しばらくしてクジラの潮吹きが見え、尾びれが少しみれました。アクティビティ紹介にあるような写真の姿を想像したので、え!?これだけ??という印象でした。食事なしのコースを頼んだので、めっきりヒマになってしまい。ただぼーっとするだけに。
でも、帰路でイルカの大群が船の近くをぴょんぴょんジャンプする姿を見ることができて船中が大歓声に包まれました!!そっちのほうが感動しましたね。
クジラには100メートル以内には近づいてはダメというルールがあり、尚且つ絶対見れるという保証はないので、最初から張り切って行くと、がっかりしてしまうかもしれません。自然のものですから運があるでしょうし。
日によってはクジラがジャンプする姿もみれるらしいので、機会があったらまたチャレンジしよーかなとは思います。のんびり構えることができる人にはおすすめカモ ?

The scariest part at Water Adventure Park was the Cliffhanger. It was frightening because you suddenly come out from the tube when you start sliding. The most fun was the two-person boat slide. With the slide inside the tube, you can't see ahead, so it was exciting not knowing which direction you would go next.
ウォーターアドベンチャーパークでいちばんこわかったのがクリフハンガーでした。クリフハンガーはさいしょすべるときにつつの中からそとにきゅうにでるのでこわかったです。一ばん楽しかったのが2人ようボートですべったスライダーです。つつの中のスライダーだとまえが見えなくてつぎにどこのほうこうにいくのかがわからなくて楽しかったです。

I participated with my family on December 28. I was hoping to see whales since it was said that they were spotted the day before, but unfortunately, we didn't see any. While it is a bit pricey for just a lunch cruise, the food was warm and not bad. My daughter loved the bread and ate three pieces. Since the main course is not a meal, you can't expect the same level of service from the staff as you would in a restaurant. There were times when we ran out of water or the dessert plates were missing.
The best part of this tour is that if you don't see any whales, they give you a reboarding ticket, although the meal is not included. If you participate early in your stay, it should be easier to plan for a reboarding.
By the way, the boarding location for the cruise is near the Aloha Tower Marketplace, which is convenient for shopping after the cruise.
12月28日に家族で参加しました。前日は鯨が見られたと言う事なので、期待していましたが、残念ながら鯨は見れませんでした。ただのランチクルーズとしてはちょっと高価ですが、食事は暖かく悪くありません。娘はパンがおいしいと3個も食べてました。メインが食事ではないので、レストランと同等のサービスはスタッフに期待できません。水が無くなったり、デザートの取り皿が無くなったりと言う事があります。
このツアーの一番良いところは、鯨が見られなかった時は、食事はつきませんが再乗船券をくれる事です。滞在の早いうちに参加すれば、最乗船の予定も立てやすいと思います。
因みに、クルーズの乗船場所は、そばにアロハタワー・マーケットプレイスがあり、クルーズ後の買い物にも便利です。

Both the children and parents had a great time. Upon arrival, everyone quickly went to rent lockers, but those who were familiar seemed to manage with just the beach chairs by the pool (if they didn't have valuables). Towels are available for rent at a cost, so it's better to bring your own. My youngest daughter (5 years old) is under 120 cm, so she took a simple test at the wave pool to increase the attractions she could use. The barbecue buffet for lunch was just okay in taste, but I was quite put off by the number of flies. The jumbo shave ice didn’t come with a voucher on the bus, and I received a ticket during lunch, but when I tried to use it, there seemed to be a mix-up, and I ended up waiting quite a while on the phone. It’s large, but compared to the shave ice from North Shore, it was disappointing. While I enjoyed the attractions, I was confused by how each attraction would suddenly close at different times. There was no clear pattern, and without any guidance, I ended up missing out on some things. It was a shame, as it looked like so much fun. For the return bus, we were only told to wait at the main gate, but in reality, there were divisions like A-C and 1-4 (which seemed to correspond to the writing on the wristbands), making it quite confusing.
子供も親もなかなか楽しめました。到着してみんなすぐロッカ−を借りに行きますが、慣れてる方はプ−ルサイドのビ−チチア−で済ましているよう(貴重品が無ければ)です。タオルは有料レンタルです。持参がベタ−。下の娘(5歳)は120cmないので、波乗りプ−ルのところでテスト(簡単)を受け、使えるアトラクションを増やしました。お昼のバ−ベキュ−?(ビュフェ)は、味はまあまあですがハエが多いのに閉口しました。ジャンボシェイブアイスはバスでは引換券がもらえず、昼食時に話して券をいただきましたが、使おうとすると手違いがあったらしく電話でやり取りし始めかなり待たされました。大きいですが味はノ−スショアのシェイブアイスと比べると悲しくなります。アトラクションは楽しめましたが、困惑したのは個々のアトラクションが時間によってころころ運休に入ることです。法則性がわかりませんでしたし案内もないのでとうとうやり残したものもあります。楽しそうだっただけに残念です。帰りのバスは、正門で待つように言われただけでしたが、実際はA~Cとか1~4とかに区分けされており(腕に巻いたバンドの書き込みがそれらしい)かなりわかりずらかったです。

I went in mid-June last year, and it was very hot but felt great. The bus arrived on schedule, and the guide was very kind and fluent in Japanese. If there was anything I didn't understand, they supported me with everything, which made me feel good. There were water slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool. Juice was all-you-can-drink (I’m not sure if that’s still the case now). The pizza was delicious, and I got hooked on it! They took photos for us, but I think it was $10? It was a nice keepsake, so I’m glad I bought it. It will probably be hot in the upcoming season, so I definitely recommend it!

I participated on March 15, 2005. The lunch was a buffet style and, as usual, it wasn't very delicious. We cruised offshore past Diamond Head looking for whale mother and calf splashes, and I was able to witness many pods, which was a very moving scene. I was very satisfied with the tour itself.
Although we didn't see any breaching, we did see two fluke-up dives, and there were cheers on the boat. I definitely think this activity is a recommended tour. As for the meal, I'm not sure...
Alan is indeed cheap, but I felt a bit anxious about potential troubles if you don't have a certain level of English. This time, my youngest child forgot their sunglasses on the shuttle bus, but unfortunately, they never turned up. It's quite disappointing since we liked them a lot. When booking through Alan, individuals have to negotiate directly with the local operating company, and if you can't speak English, you won't be able to communicate the details. I think if you go through the local tour desk that speaks Japanese, they will usually manage to help you. I believe there shouldn't be any issues if you can speak a little English... Alan is very affordable, and I plan to continue using it in the future. First, I want to study English a bit more.
2005年3月15日に参加してきました。昼食はバイキング形式で例によってあまり美味しくはありませんでした。ダイヤモンドヘッドの先の沖合いでクジラ親子ののスプラッシュを探してクルーズしましたが、何頭もの群れに遭遇出来てとても感動的なシーンを見る事が出来ました。ツアー自体には大変満足出来ました。
ブリーチングは見れませんでしたが、フルークアップダイブは2回見れ、船内では歓声が沸き起こっていました。このアクティビティ絶対お勧めのツアーだと思います。食事に関しては???ですが。
アランは確かに安いですが、ある程度英語が出来ないと何かトラブルが起きた時の不安を感じました。今回も一番下の子供が送迎のバスの中にサングラスを忘れてしまいましたが、結局それは出て来ませんでした。大変気に入っていただけに残念です。アランで申し込んだ場合、現地の催行会社に個人が直接交渉しなくてはならず英語が出来ないと細かい事は申し伝えられません。現地の日本語の通じるツアーデスク経由で申し入れれば大抵はなんとかしてくれるとは思います。英語が多少出来れば何ら問題は無いと思いますが・・・。アランは金額的には大変安く今後も利用していこうと思っています。まずは英語の勉強をもう少ししたいと思います。

When I first applied, I was very anxious because I couldn't hear a voice directly over the phone, being an analog person. However, I received quick responses to my questions, and I was impressed, thinking, "This is how things are in this day and age." Perhaps because it was November, the park was incredibly empty, and I was worried there might be attractions closed. However, attractions opened and closed every one to two hours, and in the end, we were able to experience all the attractions, which left the kids very satisfied. There are many thrilling attractions that you can't experience in Japan, so I highly recommend it!!!
最初申し込むとき、電話で直接声を聞けないためアナログ人間の私はとても不安でしたが、質問に対してもすぐに回答もきましたし、「今の時代はこうなんだぁ~」と感心してしまいました。11月という時期のせいか、パーク内もものすごく空いていて、クローズしているアトラクションがあるのではと心配でしたが、1−2時間おきにオープンしたりクローズしたりで、結局全部のアトラクションを制覇することができ、子供達は大満足でした。アトラクションは日本では経験できないようなスリリングなものが多くかなり楽しめますのでお薦めでーす!!!

It was a pool unlike any I've experienced in Japan (at least not that I know of). The waves in the wave pool were so intense that children started crying. There was a pool for small children, thrilling slides, and a lazy river that felt like a jungle adventure, which made me very satisfied. The bonus of shaved ice was also surprising.
日本には無い(少なくとも経験したことの無い)プールでした。
波のプールの波のすごさは、子供が泣き出すほどでした。
小さい子供も遊べるプールあり、絶叫スライダーあり、ジャングル探検みたいな流水プール有り
で、大満足です。
おまけのシェービングアイスもびっくりでした。

We gathered at the Sheraton Bus Terminal at 9:00, but even by 9:30, no one had come to guide us. After speaking with the HIS staff, we took a different bus to the destination. We were over an hour late, and the return meeting time was too early, leaving us unsatisfied. The people on the same bus were also very upset.
9時にシェラトンバスターミナル集合で9時半になっても誰も案内がこなくHISスタッフの人に話してもらって違うバスにて現地へ 1時間以上も到着が遅れているのに 帰りの集合時間が早すぎて物足りない。同じバスの人たちもカンカンでした。

At first, I thought playing in the pool in Hawaii would be... but I was surprised by how fun it was to experience various attractions. I initially thought the ocean was scary for children because of the waves, but I realized it’s actually a place where adults can have fun too.
For small children, there are attractions designed for them, and there are plenty of attractions for adults to enjoy as well. The "shaka," which you wouldn't think of in Japan, is definitely something you should try.
This time, since I participated in a tour on Sunday, there were many local families visiting, and we had to wait in line for every attraction, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. Also, since there was only one food stall, there was a long line during lunchtime, so I think it would be better to have lunch a bit earlier.
I received a free voucher for "shave ice" as part of the tour from the guidebook, but due to the long lines, I ran out of time to exchange it. Seeing other people's "shave ice," I regret not exchanging it earlier to enjoy it.
最初は、ハワイでプールで遊ぶのは・・・と思っていましたが、実際にいろいろなアトラクションを体験してみると面白いのにはビックリです。海では波があって怖がる子供たちのためにあるのかと思っていましたが、むしろ大人が楽しめるところであると実感しました。
小さな子供には、子供が楽しめるアトラクションも用意されていますし、大人が楽しめるアトラクションも豊富にあります。
日本では発想がでないであろう「シャカ」は是非トライをするべきです。
今回は、日曜日にツアー参加のため、現地の家族連れがたくさん来園しており、どのアトラクションも並ばないといけいため、若干物足りなさが残りましたし、売店が一箇所しかないためにお昼時には長蛇の列で、少し早めに昼食をするようにしたほうが良いかと思います。
地球の歩き方でのツアー参加で「シェイブ・アイス」の無料引換券をもらいましたが、長蛇の列のおかげで交換する時間が無くなってしまいましたが、他の人の「シェイブ・アイス」をみると早めの交換で食べておけば良かったと反省をしています。

This was my first trip to Hawaii, so I decided to splurge and booked a Cessna sightseeing flight to take a look at Oahu from the sky. I was able to see places I couldn't visit due to time constraints, and the ocean was truly beautiful and breathtaking. However, if you focus too much on taking pictures and look down, you might feel a bit nauseous, so I recommend that participants manage their health well the day before. Lack of sleep is something to watch out for. But looking back at the photos, they turned out beautifully, and it was quite a good experience. Next time, I want to fly at night! Daytime is great, but I've heard nighttime is also wonderful.
今回は初ハワイと言う事で、先ずオアフを空から眺めてみようと奮発してセスナ遊覧飛行を申込みました。時間が無くて足を運べない所も上空から見る事が出来たし、海は本当にキレイで感激ものでした。ただ、あまり写真をとろうと下ばかり見ていると気持ちが悪くなってしまうので、参加される方は前日から体調管理はしっかりしておいた方が良いと思います。睡眠不足は要注意。でも後から写真を見てもきれいにとれていたし、なかなか良い経験でした。次は夜の空を飛んでみたいです!日中も良いし、夜もまた良いらしいですよ。

My daughter insisted, so I participated. Personally, I thought, "A pool in Hawaii? The beautiful blue ocean is waiting for us..." But surprisingly, I had a great time! The wave pool had real waves, and the various slides were very satisfying. The kids' pool was also impressive!
Regarding the shave ice gift, I earnestly explained the situation to the boy who came to pick us up, but he kept saying, "I don't understand." He asked various people after we got off the bus, but still couldn't find out. I appreciated his earnest attitude, so in the end, I felt like saying, "Oh well." However, since it was advertised as a "gift," I really wanted it. That was a bit disappointing.
By the way, on the bus ride there, the topic of tour prices came up (90% of the bus was Japanese), and the man next to me was upset, saying, "I'm paying $8 more for the same tour!" (laughs) It's interesting how prices can vary for the same content. I happened to apply through this site because ALAN's Japan office is right next to the supermarket I always go to, located behind my daughter's cram school. As someone who was a bit unfamiliar with just communicating through the website, I thought, "It might be reassuring to have a nearby office in case something happens," which was a strange reason for choosing this site. Fortunately, nothing happened, and I returned home safely.
By the way, I passed by this morning, and due to the unusual heat in Tokyo, a cat was sprawled out at the entrance of the building, looking exhausted.
娘がどうしてもと言うので参加しました。
私自身は「ハワイに来てまでプール?せっかく青い海が待っているのに・・・」
と思いましたが、なかなかどうして!心から楽しめました。
プールは波のプールも本格的な波だし、各種スライダーも大満足。子どもプールもあなどれませんよ!
シェーブアイスプレゼントの件はピックアップに来た係りの男の子に一生懸命説明したのですが
「僕には分かりません」の一点張りでバスを降りてからもいろいろな人に聞いて回ってくれましたがやはり分からず。
彼の一生懸命な態度に好感が持てたので最後には「まっいいか」と言う気分になりましたが、
“プレゼント!”とうたっているからには欲しかったなぁ~。チョッとそれが残念。
ところで行きのバスの中でツアー価格の話になり(バスの中は9割日本人)隣のおじさんが同じツアー内容で
「俺のほうが8ドルも高い!」と憤慨してました(笑)同じ内容でも色々なんですね~。
私がこのサイトから申し込んだのは偶然にもALANさんの日本オフィスが超御近所でいつも行くスーパーのお隣。
娘の塾の裏と言うローケーション。サイト上だけのやり取りで少々慣れない私は立派なオフィスを見上げながら
「なんかあった時近所なら心強いかも」という変な理由でこのサイトから申し込みました。
別に“なんかあった”訳もなく無事に帰国しましたが・・・。
ちなみに今朝も通りかかりましたが、この東京の異常な暑さでビルの入り口で猫がグッタリしてました。

This time, I only took a scenic flight in a Cessna, but the view of Hawaii from above was incredibly beautiful and moving. During the flight, the staff provided very detailed explanations, and it was thrilling to take off in between regular airplanes landing and taking off at Honolulu Airport. The conversations through the headphones felt very authentic and exciting. Next time, I want to try piloting!
今回はセスナの遊覧飛行のみでしたが、上空からのハワイはとっても綺麗で感激しました。
遊覧中も係員の方もとっても詳細に説明してくれて、ホノルル空港の滑走路を普通の飛行機
が離着陸する合間をぬって離陸するのがスリリングですし、ヘットホンでの会話が本格的で
わくわくしました。この次は操縦にチャレンジしてみたいです。

The view from above is quite different from what you see on the ground. You can't really understand it through ground sightseeing. The staff provides clear explanations about various places like Hanauma Bay and Pearl Harbor. You can see the beautiful blue ocean and the lush green mountains all at once, and it was truly healing to experience the beauty of Hawaii. However, due to air currents, the aircraft can shake a bit, which was a little surprising, but it became a good memory. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
空の上から見る景色は、地上でみる景色とではひと味違います。地上での観光ではわからないですよね。
ハナウマ湾、パールハーバーとかいろいろスタッフの方がわかりやすく説明をしてくれます。
キレイな青い海や緑いっぱの山々も一度に見る事ができ、ハワイの美しさに癒されました。
でも気流の関係で機体が揺れることもあるので、ちょっとビックリしましたが、それもいい思い出になりました。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおくといいかもしれません

There are various attractions in the park, but the highlight is definitely the Shaka! (I hear there are only a few of them in the world.) It's quite scary! But it's thrilling and fun!! I tried bodyboarding in the wave pool. The waves kept crashing in, and I couldn't stop laughing. I thought I wouldn't want to go to a pool even in Hawaii, but it felt like I could experience the local vibe here. Unlike in Japan, you don't have to wait in long lines for the attractions, so I was able to enjoy the whole day.
園内には様々なアトラクションがあるけれど、中でも一押しはシャカですよ!(世界でも数ヶ所しかないらしい)
かなりコワイ!けどスリルがあって面白い!!波が出るプールではボディーボードに挑戦。波がどんどん押し寄せてくるので、笑いが止まらなかったぁぁぁ。
ハワイにきてまでプールとも思ったけど、ハワイでローカル気分も味わえる感じ。アトラクションも日本みたいに並ぶことはあまりないから、一日満喫できましたよん。
