Participation of a 5-year-old boy alone
I read in other people's experiences that it was okay not to understand English, but in our case, we were in a group of five (four of whom were children from English-speaking countries), and there was no particular support, which made my son feel quite isolated. The instructor initially taught us about the size of the dolphins, but since we couldn't understand the words, we waited for what felt like thirty minutes for the explanation to finish. At one point, my son had a gloomy expression and said, "I don't understand what they're saying, so this isn't fun at all." I regretted participating in this program.
After that, we finally entered the pool and had a photo session with the dolphins, but compared to the other four, my son clearly had fewer poses. For example, we took turns kissing the dolphin for photos, but my son's turn was skipped. When it came to swimming with the dolphin for photos, he was skipped again. And when it was time to feed the dolphin for photos, he was skipped once more. I seriously wondered if this was some form of discrimination.
Still, I held onto a faint hope that they might take photos of him later, but as expected, my wish was not fulfilled until the end. He was skipped so many times that I thought about going to the reception to ask for photos, but by the time I circled the pool, the program had ended. I couldn't bring myself to ask to go back into the pool for photos again, so I gave up, but I felt regret and tears came to my eyes.
It seemed like he was ignored because he couldn't speak English.
Later, when we were choosing the photos to purchase, none of the poses I had initially requested were available, and there wasn't a single good photo, which was disappointing. I regretted coming all this way and paying a high price for the photos. I managed to buy a few photos, but every time I look at them, I feel sad, so I’ve put them away.
I apologize for the lengthy message, but if your child is going to participate, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they are fluent in English like a native speaker. I think it would be fine for adults.
5歳男子一人参加
他の方の体験談に、英語がわからなくても大丈夫と書いてありましたが、
うちの場合は5人グループ(うち4人は英語圏の子供達)で、
特にフォローもなく疎外感がかなり強かったみたいです。
インストラクターの方が、最初にイルカの大きさなどを教えてくれましたが
言葉がわからず、数十分(恐らく30分程度?)ひたすら説明が終わるのを待っていました。途中「何を言ってるかわからないから、ちっとも楽しくないね。」と暗い顔をしていたのでこのプログラムに参加したことを後悔しました。
そのあといよいよプールに入って、イルカと撮影をしてくれましたが、
他の4人と比べて明らかにポーズが少なかったです。
例えば順番ずつイルカにキスをする写真を撮るのですが、息子の番だけスキップされました。
順にイルカと泳ぎ写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
順にイルカに餌をあげる写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
これは人種差別なのか?と割と真剣に悩みました笑
それでも後から撮ってくれるかもと淡い期待をいだいておりましたが、
予想通り最後まで願いが叶うことはありませんでした。
あまりにスキップされるので、受付に写真を撮って欲しいと言いに行こうと思いプールをぐるりと周っている間にプログラムが終了しました。
まさかもう一度プールに入って写真を撮ってくれなんて言えませんでしたので諦めましたが、悔しくて少し涙が出ました笑
息子が英語が話せないから、存在を無視されていたようでした。
あとから購入する写真を選ぶのですが、最初に希望を伝えていたポーズも無く、良いものが一枚もなかったので落胆しました。
高いお金を払って写真を撮ってもらいに来たのに、と後悔しました。
なんとか写真を数枚購入しましたが見るたびに悲しい気持ちになるので、しまいこんでいます。
長くなりましたが、お子様が参加されるのであれば英語がネイティブ並みに堪能でないとおすすめしません。大人なら大丈夫だと思います。

We participated with my wife and our three daughters, who are in fifth grade, third grade, and kindergarten. Initially, we considered an all-inclusive plan, but since the price was almost 1.5 times higher and we had a larger group, we opted for a plan that only included transportation and park admission. The food and drinks inside the park are indeed more expensive compared to outside, but the portions are large enough that one item can serve two children. One large drink is also sufficient for our family of five. I believe the all-inclusive option is unnecessary unless you're part of a university sports team group. Both the kids and I had a great time in the park. From what I observed, it seemed that the kids enjoyed this much more than swimming at the beach.
小5、小3、年長の娘3人、妻と私の5名で参加でした。最初にフル込みのプランと悩みましたが、価格がほぼ1.5倍なのと人数が多いため送迎とパーク入園のみのプランにしました。パーク内の飲食は、外と比べると確かに高めですが分量が多いため一つで子供2人分はいけました。飲み物もラージサイズ一つで家族五人分はいけるのでこちらも一個で十分です。フル込みは、大学の運動部のグループでなければ、不要だと思いました。パーク内で子供もわたしもすごく楽しめました。見てると、子供にとってはビーチで泳ぐよりは、こちらの方が楽しそうでした。

It's expensive, but I signed up for a plan that includes transportation. There are pizzas and hamburgers available on-site for about $10. I had those, and they were sufficient. There are a lot of slides, and I rode them all! It was so much fun!
I noticed that while some slides were empty just a moment ago, they suddenly had long lines, while others that were crowded earlier became available. I think it's a good idea to ride the ones that are less crowded. The big slide has both four-person and two-person floats, and I believe the green one is for two people.
If you just stand in line, everyone is waiting for the yellow four-person float, so two-person groups can get the green float by skipping ahead a bit. This way, your turn will come up quickly. There was no guidance, so I ended up standing in line.
It was great because I could play without it being too crowded! The showers are cold water. Please be careful as the lockers are small.
高いですが、送迎付きのプランで申し込み。
現地で10ドルくらいでピザやハンバーガーあります。
それ食べました。十分です。
スライダーがたくさんあって乗りまくりました!楽しすぎました!
スライダーはさっきまで空いてたのに急にすごい並んでると思いきや、さっきまで混んでた方が空いてたりするので、うまくすいてるやつから乗るといいと思います。
デカスラは、四人用と二人用の浮き輪があって、確か緑が二人用。
普通に並んでると四人用の黄色の浮き輪をみんな並んでるので二人組は緑色の浮き輪を横抜かし的な形でもらって行くことになります。
そーするとすぐ順番来ますよ。
なんの案内もないので、列に並んじゃってました。
混みすぎずにあそびまわれるので、最高でした!シャワーは水です。
ロッカーは小さいので気をつけてください。

On July 12, I participated with my 6th-grade daughter. The pickup was smooth, and since we arrived early, we waited about 20 minutes at the entrance. Waiting in the blazing summer sun without any shade was quite tough. After checking our bags, we entered. We were allowed to bring one unopened plastic bottle per person.
We used a smaller locker. I had heard that only cards could be used, but it turned out that cash was accepted for $13. I had a waterproof cover for my phone hanging around my neck, along with a card and about $50 in cash, so I might not have needed to rent a locker for just a towel and a change of clothes. There were plenty of chairs, so everyone left their belongings and went off to play.
Since we only had a plan for pickup and entrance fees, we bought a hamburger and fries set for about $10 for lunch. I wasn't expecting much, but it was really delicious! It was around 12:30, and we didn't have to wait long to buy it.
The attractions require you to carry your own float and climb quite a steep slope and stairs to slide down, which is pretty tiring, but it was a lot of fun and something you can't find in Japan. It was bustling with local kids during summer vacation.
The stairs and slopes were hot on bare feet, but beach sandals tended to slip off when sliding down, so marine shoes might have been a better choice.
7月12日小学6年生の娘と2人で参加。ピックアップはスムーズで、早めに着いたので入り口で20分くらい待ちました。真夏の太陽の下日陰もなく並んで待つのはかなり辛かったです。カバンの中身チェックの後入場。無開封のペットボトル1人1本なら持込OKです。
ロッカーは小さい方を使用。カードしか使えないと聞いていたのですが13ドル現金使用でした。私は携帯の防水カバーを首から下げてカード1枚と現金を50ドルほど入れていたのでタオルと着替えだけならロッカー借りなくても良かったかも。椅子がたくさんあるのでみんな荷物置いて遊びに行っていました。
ピックアップと入場料のみのプランだったのでランチは10ドルくらいのハンバーガーとポテトのセットを購入。期待していなかったけどとても美味しかったです^_^12時半くらいでしたがそんなに待たずに買えました。
アトラクションは自分で浮き輪を抱えてかなりの坂道と階段を上がって滑り降りる仕組みになっているのでかなり疲れますが日本にはない
アトラクションでとても楽しかったです♪
夏休みで地元の子供達で賑わってました。
裸足だと階段や坂道あがるのに熱いですがビーチサンダルは滑り降りるときに脱げてしまうのでマリンシューズだとよかったかも。

You can choose reservations in 30-minute increments, but if you're making a breakfast reservation, be aware that if it's too early, the hotel will be located a bit closer to Ala Moana Center rather than the center of Honolulu (next to the Hilton Hotel where the fireworks are held). Depending on where you're staying, you might have a hard time getting there without transportation. We made our reservation for 7 AM, so we took the bus to get close.
When you arrive at the hotel, please take the escalator to the restaurant instead of the elevator, as the elevator only serves guest rooms and does not stop at the restaurant.
The food includes Japanese dishes like miso soup, natto, and white rice, but it's definitely better to try the local offerings. The omelets and pancakes cooked on-site, along with fresh fruit and Hawaiian coffee, are much tastier! It was nice to eat slowly while looking at the harbor.
The waiter takes pancake orders one plate at a time, and refills are available. We ended up quite full, so we took a walk around on our way back, and we were able to scout the fireworks venue perfectly.
予約は30分単位で選択できますが、朝食で予約される場合はあまり早い時間ですと、ホノルルのホテル中心街よりも少しアラモアナセンター寄りのホテル(花火の上がるヒルトンホテル隣)となってますので、泊まっているホテルによっては、足がなくて大変な思いをされるかもしれません。私たちは朝7時に予約したため、the busを利用して近くまで向かいました☺︎★
ホテルについたら、エレベーターではなく、エスカレーターでレストランまで上がってください、エレベーターは客室用でレストラン側には止まりません(。pω-。)
ご飯は、日本食の味噌汁や納豆や白ごはんもありますが、やはり現地のものを食べた方が美味しいです。その場で焼いてくれるオムレツやパンケーキ、新鮮なフルーツ、ハワイアンコーヒーなどの方が断然美味しい!波止場を見ながらゆっくりと食べれて、気持ちが良かったです゚+(b゚ェ゚*)+゚
パンケーキはウェイターさんがオーダーを一皿ずつ取られまして、おかわりも可能です\(^-^)/
お腹いっぱいになってしまいましたので、周りを散歩しながら帰りました〜、花火会場の下見も出来たんでばっちりでした

We participated as a family of three (with a middle school daughter). We consulted with our guide, Mieko, about wanting to visit Kailua Town, and she gave us advice that allowed us to add bike rentals and extend our trip to Lanikai Beach and Kailua Town. Lanikai Beach has beautiful sand and clear water, and it was also less crowded, allowing us to relax. I'm glad we chose this course instead of the half-day option. There wasn't a single unnecessary item for enjoying the beach; everything was well thought out. The pizza for lunch was exquisite! The crust was perfectly baked, and we were amazed by its size, but we finished it all.
親子3人(娘中1生)で参加させて頂きました。
カイルアタウンも行きたいとガイドのみえこさんに相談し、アドバイスいただき、レンタサイクルを追加してでラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンまで足を延ばすことができました。
ラニカイビーチは砂浜、海の綺麗さ素晴らしいです。また、人も少なくのんびりできました。半日コースではなくこちらのコースにしてよかったです。
ビーチアイテムも楽しむのに無駄なものは一つもなく、よく考えられているなと思いました。ランチもピザが絶品!生地がパリっと焼き上げられ大きいさに驚きながらも食べつくしました。

The tide was either high or it was the season, but the seawater was at waist height. Even so, everyone seemed to be having a great time playing beach volleyball, practicing snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat! I had never tried snorkeling before, but I enjoyed it very much! The staff included a Japanese person who alternated between English and Japanese, which was reassuring. The hamburgers we had on the boat were also delicious!

I'm glad I was able to see the dolphins, but I felt that the time spent on other activities (like the staff's performance) was a bit wasted compared to the time swimming with the dolphins. I think it would have been better to visit a few more spots to increase the time spent swimming with the dolphins.

There weren't any 17cm fins or floaties for children, but it was fine to wrap a stick as a substitute for a float or swim side by side.

On the day of the event, it was cloudy, but I felt it was better than rain, so I participated. At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees, but that was within expectations. The staff took a lot of photos and kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which made it enjoyable. If there's one thing I would like to see improved, it's that many people were kicking at the surface while snorkeling, which made the water murky. I hope they can provide a stronger reminder at the beginning.

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a family of three. It was the only day of our trip that it rained all day. Despite the unfortunate weather, the staff communicated in Japanese and made us feel at ease. The water level at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but we had a great time playing volleyball and other activities. We also encountered sea turtles and manta rays. The BBQ cheeseburger for lunch was even better than we expected! There were seconds available, but one was filling enough. Drinks like cola and iced tea were free. On the way back, we experienced some engine trouble with the boat, but we were towed back safely by a helper boat. The staff explained the issues thoroughly, so we were able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
家族3人で初めてのサンドバーツアー参加でした。
今回の旅行で唯一の終日”雨”。。。
生憎の天気の中、スタッフも日本語を駆使し、なごませていただきました。
サンドバーの水位は股下程度ほどでしたが、バレーボール等で楽しく過ごせました。
そして、ウミガメ&マンタにも遭遇することができました。
ランチのBBQチーズバーガーは予想以上においしかった!!
お代わりありましたが、一つで満腹なサイズです。
ドリンクもコーラ、アイスティーなど、フリーでした。
帰りに船のエンジントラブルがありましたが、助っ人の船で牽引して
無事帰港できました。
トラブルも丁寧に説明していただき、全く不安なく過ごすことができました。

It was supposed to rain, but the weather was fantastic. (The wind was strong.)
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious.
The highlight was encountering many sea turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral reef, a turtle swam alongside me.
I will definitely go again next time.
雨予報でしたが、天気は最高でした。(風は強い)
船上BBQも大変おいしかったです。
1番はたくさんのウミガメに遭遇できたことです。
シュノーケリングでサンゴ礁を1周した際、カメが一緒に泳いでくれました。
次回も必ず行きます。

I thought I wouldn't need a pool while in Hawaii, but I'm glad I went! Overall, there were no wait times, and I was able to enjoy myself smoothly. The lunch was also better than at nearby restaurants. I want to go again the next time I visit Hawaii.
ハワイに来てまでプールと思っていましたが、行って良かったです!
全体的に待ち時間も無くスムーズに遊べたのと、ランチもその辺のレストランより美味しかったです。
またハワイに行く時は、行きたいです。
