Oahu
I think we waited for the pickup bus for over 15 minutes. It was the longest wait time for a bus among the optional tours.
Once we arrived, the locker for storing our bags had a machine panel that reflected the sun, making it really hard to see and operate. After that, since there was no key for the locker, we headed to the pool hands-free and light!
Maybe because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could go on the slides without much waiting. Basically, I floated in the wave pool the whole time.
The most thrilling slide was the Shaka! My husband even let out an "Oh!" while going down. The Tornado was also fun, so we went on it twice, but I ended up hitting my backside hard against the pool because the hole for the tube was quite big. Even after returning to Japan, I still feel a tingling sensation when I sneeze... haha.
It rained at times, but we used that as a break to eat. Overall, we had a well-balanced and really fun time!
I applied sunscreen, but it seems it wasn't enough, and I ended up getting a terrible sunburn. I regretted not wearing a rash guard. I got sunburned so badly that it hurts just to touch it, so for those with sensitive skin or fair complexions, I think it's better to apply sunscreen frequently or protect your skin with a rash guard.
ピックアップのバスは15分以上は待ったかと思います。オプショナルツアーの中では1番バス待ち時間が長かったな。
着いてから荷物をしまうロッカーは、操作する機械のパネルが太陽を反射して全然見えなくて手惑いました。それが済んだら、ロッカーの鍵もないので手ぶらで身軽にプールへ！
平日だからか空いていて、スライダーに大して並ばずどんどん乗れます。基本的には波のプールでずっとプカプカしていました。
スライダーで1番スリルがあったのはシャカでした！夫も「おおお」と声が漏れていました。
トルネードも楽しかったので2回乗りに行きましたが、チューブのお尻を乗せる穴の部分が大きかったせいか、お尻をプールに強打しました。
日本に帰ってきてからもくしゃみするとまだ痺れる感じです…笑
時に雨も降りましたが、その時は休憩としてご飯食べてました。総じてバランス良く遊べてとっても楽しかったです！
日焼け止めを塗っていましたが全然足りなかったようで、ものすごく日焼けしてしまいました。ラッシュガードを着ていった方が良かったな〜と後悔しました。触るだけで痛いくらいガッツリ日焼けしてしまったので、肌が弱い方や色白の方…日焼け止めをこまめに塗るか、ラッシュガードなどで肌を守った方がいいと思います。

This trip exceeded expectations. The sandbar and turtle viewing was great but the best part was the snorkeling. Probably the best snorkeling I've ever had. Lunch really hit the spot after some fun on the water. Would def do it again!
After researching about the sandbar, I found that it's recommended to visit on days when the water depth is below zero meters at low tide, so I chose a perfect day to participate.
However! When I arrived, the water depth was around knee height. I couldn't encounter the sandbar floating in the sea.
The snorkeling afterwards was also not satisfactory in terms of visibility and the number of fish. According to a local lady, it was due to several days of heavy rain. I think those who want to enjoy snorkeling properly should arrange a separate opportunity to do so.
Although the sandbar and snorkeling did not meet my expectations, the guides on the boat were very kind and pleasant, making the tour itself enjoyable.
It was also nice to receive a warm drink after coming out of the sea.
サンドバーについていろいろ調べると干潮時に水深が０メートル以下になる日がオススメということで、バッチリな日を選んで参加しました。
しかーし！現地に行って見ると水深は膝の高さあたり。海に浮かぶサンドバーには遭遇できませんでした。
その後のシュノーケリングも透明度・魚の数ともに満足いくレベルではなかったです。現地のお姉さんが仰るには数日雨が多かったためとのこと。シュノーケリングがしっかりしたい人は別途きちんと満喫できる機会を設けた方がいいと思います。
目的のサンドバーやシュノーケリングはあまり満足いくものではありませんでしたが、船でいろいろ説明をしてくれたガイドの方々はとても親切で感じが良かったのでツアー自体はよかったです。
海から上がった後に暖かい飲み物がもらえたのもよかったですね。

I saw Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii on TV before and wanted to go, so I signed up for this tour. The round-trip bus was close to the hotel, and there was guidance in Japanese on the way there, which was helpful. There was also Japanese translation for renting lockers, so there were no issues. The place was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy the slides with almost no waiting time. You can't experience that at famous pools in Japan...
Since there was an all-you-can-drink soft drink plan, it was nice not to have to carry money or cards except for lunch.
I had a great time and I'm satisfied!
以前テレビでウェットアンドワイルドハワイを見て、行きたくなりこのツアーに申し込みました。
往復のバスはホテルの近くでしたし、行きのバスの中では日本語での案内があり、助かりました。
ロッカーを借りるのにも日本語変換があり、問題なかったです。
現地は空いていたのでスライダーも待ち時間はほとんどなく充分に楽しめました。日本の有名プールではこうはいかないですよね。。。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題プランだったので、お金やカードを昼食以外は持ち出さな くて良かった点も楽でした。
楽しい時間を過ごせて満足です！

Each attraction can accommodate up to four people at a time, allowing us to enjoy many rides without waiting in line. We especially loved the Volcano and Tornado, riding them three or four times. The challenge was climbing up, balancing our stamina and time.
It was incredibly fun, but I did injure my tailbone when I landed after the Tornado ride, and my swimsuit tore slightly. I also experienced whiplash when I fell during the Shaka ride, which made me feel that this amusement park would never be possible in Japan, where complaints are taken very seriously.
The heat was intense, and not only did I get sunburned, but the concrete felt like it was burning the soles of my feet. We wore reef shoes, so we were fine, but it seemed many people were barefoot or took off their flip-flops at the entrance of the attractions and came back for them later.
We chose the all-you-can-eat BBQ course with bodyboarding lessons. The BBQ had a limited selection, but we were full from the steak and teriyaki chicken.
As for the bodyboarding, it wasn't really a lesson; we just had a private pool to practice riding the waves. The all-you-can-drink option was fantastic! By showing the red wristband, we could choose from several drinks in paper cups. It was great to have something to sip on whenever we got thirsty!
At the entrance, we were disappointed to have to throw away our unopened plastic bottles, but since they warm up quickly, I highly recommend the all-you-can-drink option.
各アトラクションが一度に4人とかすべれることもあり、並ばずにたくさん遊べました。特にボルケーノ、トルネードなど気に入ったものは3、4回乗りました。あとは上まで登る体力と時間との勝負。
すごくすごく楽しかったのですが、トルネードで落ちて着地したときに尾てい骨を打って水着がやぶけ軽く怪我したのと、シャカで落ちた瞬間重力に首が持ってかれてムチウチ状態になったので、残念ながらクレーマーに弱い日本には絶対できることのない遊園地だなと感じました。
照りつけるような熱さで、日焼けだけじゃなく、コンクリートなので足の裏が焼けそうでした。私たちはリーフシューズを履いていたので平気でしたが、みんな裸足か、アトラクション入口でビーサンを脱いでまた取りに来る、という人が多かったように思います。
BBQ食べ放題とボディボードレッスン付きのコースにしました。BBQは、種類は少ないですが、ステーキと照り焼きチキンでお腹いっぱいになりました。
ボディボードは？？レッスンではなく、ただひたすら波の出るプールを貸し切って波に乗る練習をするだけでした。
ドリンク飲み放題もついていて、これはすごくよかったです。赤いリストバンドを見せると紙コップのドリンクを数種類選べます。ちょっと喉かわいたら飲めるのが最高！
入口の検査で、ペットボトルは開封してないのに捨てさせられて残念でしたが、ペットボトルはすぐぬるくなるので、ドリンク飲み放題はオススメです。

Thank you Jenner and crew for a wonderful day! The sandbar is beautiful and snorkeling was the highlight of the day. This trip is something we will remember for years.
It was a fantastic trip , the 2 tour guides were fantastic and knew what they were talking about , made me feel very comfortable and relaxed , I will definitely be back
The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.
手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

After practicing snorkeling at the sandbar, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying a delicious lunch, we searched for sea turtles from the boat. Snorkeling in the vast coral reef was enjoyable even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer! Also, the guide (a young woman) had an incredible way of taking photos!
サンドバーでのシュノーケリング練習やビーチバレー、美味しいランチの後には船上からのウミガメ探し。広大なサンゴ礁でシュノーケリング。泳ぎが苦手な私にも充分に楽しめました‼︎また、軽快な喋りのガイドさん(若い女性でした)の写真の撮り方が神がかってました‼︎

Tour was wonderful and our tour guide, Patrick was amazing! Thank you Patrick for sharing your knowledge and good humor.
Was really well done. Worth the money. Great entertainment and food.
We had an amazing time. It was more then what we expected. From the tour bus to the food and great entertainment we never stopped smiling or laughing. I would recommend this to family and friends. My husband and I have been to a Luau before and this was the first time for our boys who are 13 & 11. They loved ever minute of it.
Excellent adventure, accomodating and friendly staffs.
We opted for the 5-star menu, and it was awesome. food was delicious, and service was fantastic. It was a terrific way to celebrate our anniversary.
We had a wonderful evening. Food was great, entertainment was fun. Very helpful staff. Would recommend this to everyone.
The tour guide was very nice, but I wish they had informed us upfront that we needed wetsuits and that there would be various costs involved. I can't swim, so I just watched, but I ended up feeling nauseous, which was tough. I think it might be a bit difficult for non-swimmers.
ツアーの方がとてもいい方でしたが、最初にウエットスーツが必要とか、もろもろお金が必要だったので、最初に伝えて欲しいです。私は泳げないので、みてただけでしたが、酔ってしまい、辛かったです。泳げない人はちょっと無理かなぁ

I had a great time here during my last visit, so I made a reservation again. If I had to say something, it's a bit disappointing that the variety of all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch is still limited, but other than that, I really enjoyed it!
前回こちらで予約してとても楽しかったので再予約しました。
あえて言えばBBQランチ食べ放題の種類が相変わらず少ないことが残念ですが、それ以外は満喫できました！

Thanks to the whole crew for showing us a good time as well as our visiting guests! We look forward to doing it again! Mahalo & Cheers!
There are a lot of Japanese people here, so it doesn't feel much like being abroad, but the facilities and concept are something you wouldn't find in Japan, and it was truly wild.
There are attractions that provide a thrill that's almost scary, and since it wasn't too crowded, I was able to fully enjoy both the thrilling rides and the more relaxed options (there's also a soothing hot spring area). The food is similar to what you find at Disney, so I wouldn't have high expectations.
I occasionally use optional tours when traveling abroad, and this one was quite cost-effective. I immediately recommended it to my friends after returning home.
I think I will go again when I visit Hawaii.
日本人が多めなので、あまり海外に来た感じがしないですが、
施設やコンセプトは日本にはない感じでまさしくワイルドでした。
怖いぐらいのスリルを感じるアトラクションもあり、そんなに混んでなかったので、
スリルあるものや、やんわり系（ゆったり温泉コーナーもあります）を思う存分満喫することができました。
食事はディズニーにあるようなものなので、あまり大きな期待はできないかなと。
海外でたまにオプションツアーを利用しますが、これはなかなかのコスパでした。
帰国してから、早速友達にお勧めしました。
また、ハワイに行ったら行くと思います。

It was a bit chilly, and the sea wasn't as shallow as I imagined, but I was able to have a great time playing in the shallow waters.
Instead of eating in the water, I had a hamburger inside the moving boat due to the strong winds. Additionally, the care and hospitality of the local staff were very impressive. The hot cocoa service after coming out of the sea and the guitar performance were excellent services.
I was able to see sea turtles properly, and feeding the fish allowed me to see them up close, which was interesting.
If the sea had been a bit warmer and there was no wind, it would have been a five-star experience!
やや寒い時期で海もそんなに浅くはなかったので、想像と違う部分がありましたが、
遠浅の海でしっかり遊べました。
海の中で食べるというより、風が強く移動の船の中でハンバーガーを食べました。
また、添乗員の現地スタッフの方々の気遣い、ホスピタリティはとても良く感じられました。
海から上がった後のホットココアサービスやギター演奏などは、とてもよいサービスでした。
ウミガメはちゃんと見られたし、魚の餌付けにより魚を間近で見られたのも、
面白かったです。
もう少し海が暖かくて、風がなければ、星５ですね～

My son and his wife participated in a tour for the first time in Hawaii. As for us parents, it was our second time joining. Once again, we were very satisfied. I'm glad we invited our son and his wife. We plan to join this tour again next year as a group of four. The sandbar was amazing!
息子夫婦は、初めてハワイであり、初めてのツアー参加でした。親夫婦は、二度目の参加。今回も、大満足でした。息子夫婦を誘って良かったと思っている。来年も四人でこのツアーに参加するつもりである。サンドバーは、素晴らしー！

Informative and emotional experience on that day that will be remembered in infamy.
Every one should endeavor to make this trip at some point in their lives.
The tour guide spoke only in English, but it was fine since we just had to follow along. It was a standard plan, but we were able to see quite closely. There was a lot of talking, so I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. The fire dance was impressive with a large crowd. The food was typical buffet fare, and the only traditional Hawaiian dish was kalua pork. If you're not specifically looking for Hawaiian cuisine, it was enjoyable enough.
ツアーガイドは英語のみですが、付いていくだけなので問題はありませんでした。スタンダードプランでしたが、結構近くで見れました。トークが多いですので、英語が解ればより楽しめたと思います。ファイアーダンスは大勢で迫力がありました。料理は一般的なビュッフェ料理で、ハワイ伝統料理はカルーアポークくらいでした。ハワイ料理が目的でなければ、十分楽しめる内容でした。

We participated during our honeymoon. Since neither of us speaks much English, having a Japanese guide was very helpful. Also, it was nice that the local staff spoke clearly, possibly because many Japanese people were participating.
As for the content, we were able to see turtles, beautiful corals, and colorful fish, which made us very satisfied.
However, it was unfortunate that the weather on the day was very cold due to strong winds and rain.
ハネムーン中に参加しました。
２人とも英語がほとんど出来ないので、日本語ガイドが付いているのは、大変助かりました。
また、多くの日本人が参加しているのもあってか、現地スタッフも分かり易く話してくれて良かったです。
内容としては、亀を見ることも出来ましたし、綺麗なサンゴ、色とりどりの魚達を見ることが出来大変満足しました。
ただ、当日の天気が風が強くて、雨も降ったりなど、非常に寒かったのが残念でした。

This was a well organized tour. Bus driver talked about the island the entire trip there and back. She took us through different parts of the island and explained things about the different trees, island history and even some museum stops we could make our selves on the island. We knew exactly what to do when we arrived at Peral harbor. The experience there was a somber one. As expected. Great tour. I will recommend this one to others for sure.
What a great experience. The buss was right on time. The driver was funny and knowledgeable. She talked about the island as we drove to the Sea Life center. The Laura was very well organized, the setting was amazing. Made you feel like you were miles from anywhere. The show and culture was perfect. The fire dancers were my favorite. Food! Wow, very well done. I highly recommend this Laura. We were not disappointed, I actually figured these thing are touristy and would not have much Culture in the program. Not this one. It's great I thought.
I participated in the morning session. I was picked up at the hotel. Most of the participants were honeymoon couples. Upon arriving at the port and heading to the sandbar by boat, we went turtle watching. There were so many sea turtles that I couldn't believe it!
After arriving at the sandbar, we took photos and went snorkeling. The sea was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. However, it was a bit cold since it was in the morning.
Afterward, we enjoyed sandwiches and snacks made by the tour guide on the boat. The light meal after coming out of the water tasted delicious. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. I was able to use my time meaningfully!
朝の部に参加しました。ホテルまで迎えにきてもらいました。参加者のほとんどがハネムーンのカップルでした。港に着いて船でサンドバーへ向かう途中、ウミガメウォッチング。こんなにたくさんいるのか！というほどたくさんのウミガメが見えました！
サンドバーに到着し、写真撮影やシュノーケリングをしました。海が本当に綺麗でうっとりしました。
ただ午前だったので少し寒かったです。
その後は船上で添乗員さんの作ってくれたサンドイッチとスナックをいただきました。海からあがったあとの軽食は美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたのは１１時半頃。有意義に時間が使えました！

We had a great time!
We participated as two couples in our late 40s. We joined with transportation, unlimited drinks, and a one-day pass.
We were picked up at the hotel and received explanations from a guide who was fluent in Japanese. After a few pickups, we arrived at the location in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. As we had been informed beforehand, a DVD explaining safety precautions in Japanese was playing in the car, and we had no trouble using the lockers.
When we headed to the attractions, I couldn't stand the heat of the ground barefoot, so I quickly returned to the locker to get my Crocs. Since you can't participate in the attractions while wearing sandals, I left them nearby (there were plenty of places to put them).
All the attractions were fun, but the slopes and stairs were quite tough. For the rubber boat, you have to carry it up yourself, so it's a chance for the men to show off.
I opted for the unlimited Surf Rider for an additional $5 (you can sign up at the information desk after entering). Personally, I found this to be the most enjoyable. It was my first time, and I was worried it might turn into a hilarious disaster like what I saw on TV with the Ungirls, but even a guy in his 40s could do it fairly normally—surprisingly easy? I recommend it.
My wife was really into the Shaka. It's a two-person attraction where you sit facing each other, so if you love thrill rides, you'll enjoy sitting in the back where you can see the ground.
いやー楽しかったぁ
40代後半の夫婦２カップルで参加しました。
送迎+ドリンク飲み放題+１日パスで参加しました。
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい日本語の達者なガイドさんから説明を受け、数カ所のピックアップをへてワイキキから30程度で現地に到着しました。事前の話で聞いていた通り車内では日本語の注意事項の説明DVDが流れ、ロッカーの使い方も迷わずできました。
いざアトラクションに向うも裸足で行ったらあまりの地面の暑さに耐えられず、ロッカーにクロックスを取りにすぐ戻りました。アトラクションはサンダルを履いたままではできないので、アトラクションの近くで脱いで置いときました。（いっぱい置いてありました）
どのアトラクションも面白いのですが、坂道と階段が結構きついです。ゴムボートはセルフで上まで運ぶので男性はいい所を見せるチャンスです。
+５ドルでサーフライダー一日乗り放題にしました。（インフォメーションで受け付けしてるので入場してから自分で申し込みます）自分としてはこれが一番面白かった。まったくの初めてで、以前テレビでアンガールズがやってたようにハプニング映像になるのかなぁとやる前は不安でしたが、40過ぎのおじさんでもわりとフツーにというか、以外に簡単？おススメです。
嫁さんはシャカにはまってました。二人乗りで向かい合って座るタイプのアトラクションなので絶叫系が好きな人は下が見える後ろに乗ったほうがより一層楽しめます。

The sandbar had beautiful weather, and I was able to take stunning photos. The snorkeling was satisfying with plenty of fish. I swam for the entire time, so much so that my legs hurt the next day; I was completely absorbed in it.

We got there early, so we were able to ride most of the slides before it got crowded. The Shaka is my favorite, with the Waianae Whirl as a far second. If you haven't been there in a while (like me), the Shaka is now a 1-person ride instead of a 2-person as it was before. Convenient, since there was 3 of us.
If you haven't been there before, you aren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the park. They check bags at the entrance, and I had to empty my water bottle since it wasn't sealed (it was just tap water, so no worries). Sunscreen is a must, as you'll be in the sun pretty much the whole time. Pro-tip: bring reefwalkers/water shoes! Slippers aren't allowed on the rides (for obvious reasons), so having reefwalkers will ensure you won't have to walk around on the hot, grippy ground of the park.
All in all, it's a fun way to spend the day and I'm glad I went!
