We were picked up by a large bus. We picked up many people from hotels, and 98% of the group was Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, a monitor and announcements explained the process in Japanese.
After arriving at Wet 'n' Wild, we confirmed the bus number and meeting point, handed over our vouchers at the entrance, and then went through a bag check to enter. There is a shop where you can buy water, juice, and waterproof cases if needed (the waterproof case was about $25).
As we moved further in, there was a roofed area with lockers on the left where you can store your belongings. In front of the row of lockers, there is a monitor screen where you can rent a locker. You select the size of the locker, set a passcode, and after payment, you are told, "Your locker number is X." You can use that locker freely. Credit card payments are accepted, and the operation can be done in Japanese. Nearby, there is a shop (with hamburger sets), and in front of it, there are chairs and tables available for use. We left our swimsuits, towels, and sandals there and stored our valuables in the locker. I brought a leisure sheet just in case to reserve a spot, but it wasn't necessary.
You walk to each attraction, so it's easier to wear sandals the whole time. Even though it was spring break, the ground got quite hot. At the entrance of many attractions, you had to take off your sandals and climb stairs to start, which could have been tough in the middle of summer.
Each attraction has different inner tubes. You typically receive the inner tube from someone who has just finished at the goal point and carry it back to the starting point. There were many thrilling rides, which were fantastic. For some reason, not all attractions were open at once; they were opened alternately. If it’s like this during summer vacation, it might be a bit disappointing... There’s a possibility that attractions you plan to do later might close after a while, so be cautious.
Since it was still a season with fewer people, we didn’t have to wait long for lunch, and we could buy and eat quickly before heading to the next attraction. However, I wonder how it will be in the peak summer season? I was a bit worried about that. Despite the lines, the staff seemed quite relaxed... (laughs)
We left at 2:30 PM to make it back by 3 PM, but it seemed like many tours followed the same pattern, resulting in a long line. I feel there are too few changing rooms. The restrooms are in the same area, so some people were changing in the restroom.
Also, I thought it would be nice if we could play until closing time even if we weren't leaving at 3:15 PM. However, renting a car in an unfamiliar area is nerve-wracking, and if you plan to go during a busy season, it might be a good idea to eat something just before arriving and skip lunch to enjoy the attractions.
The thrilling attractions that are hard to experience in Japan were incredibly fun! 😊
大型バスでのお迎えでした。たくさんのホテルで拾って98%日本人で出発でした。
全員そろった時点で、モニターとアナウンスが日本語で流れを説明してくれます。
ウェット・アンド・ワイルドに着いた後、バスの番号と集合場所を確認して、入口でバウチャーを渡して、その後荷物チェックされて入場でした。
売店があるので、そこで必要な方はお水やジュース、防水ケースなどを買うことができます。(防水ケースは25ドルくらいでした)
更に進むと左手にロッカーの屋根があり、そこで荷物を預けられます。ロッカーの並んでいる棚の手前にモニター画面があり、そこでロッカーの契約をします。ロッカーの大きさを選び、暗証番号を決めて支払いをした後に、「あなたのロッカーは何番です。」と指定されますので、その番号のロッカーを使用します。出し入れ自由。クレジットカード支払いOKです。日本語で操作できます。近くに売店(ハンバーガーとかのセット)があり、その前に自由に使える椅子とテーブルがありました。水着やタオル、サンダルはそこに置き、貴重品をロッカーに入れて動きました。レジャーシートを念のために場所取り用に持って行ったのですが、不要でした。
各アトラクションまで、歩くのでサンダルはずっと履いていた方が楽です。春休みだったのに、結構足元が暑くなってました。アトラクションの入口でサンダルを脱いで、階段を上ってスタートするパターンが多かったのですが、真夏だったら、大変だったかも・・・。
各アトラクションで浮き輪が違います。やりたいアトラクションのゴール地点で降りてきた人の浮き輪をもらって、スタート地点まで持って上がるパターンが多かったと思います。
絶叫ものが多くて最高でした。なぜか、全部アトラクションを開放せず、交代で開放してました。夏休みもこんな感じだったら、ちょっと残念です・・・。後でやろうと思ったアトラクションが、しばらく経ったら閉鎖になることもあり得ますので、注意です。
まだ人が多くないシーズンだったので、ランチもそこまで並ばず、すぐに買って食べて、次のアトラクションへ~~とスムーズに行けましたが、真夏とかどうなるのかなぁ?とちょっと心配になりました。
行列の割には、どこのスタッフものんびりですし・・・(笑)
帰りは2時半に上がり、3時の集合に間に合うように・・・と更衣室に向かったのですが、同じパターンのツアーが多かったようで、行列でした。
更衣室の数が少なすぎる気がします。トイレも同じ場所にあるので、トイレで着替えている人もいました。
また、3時15分出発でなくても、閉園時間まで遊ばせてもらえても良いのでは?と思いました。
かといって、慣れないところをレンタカーして行くのもドキドキするし、もし激こみシーズンに行かれるのであれば、到着ギリギリに何か食べて、ランチなしで遊ぶのも手かもしれません。
日本には、なかなか体験することのできない絶叫アトラクション、最高に楽しかったです(^^♪

The weather was cloudy, and it was a bit chilly due to the wind. If you have a bath towel or something to block the wind, it’s not a problem.
The lockers can be accessed with a 4-digit PIN, and you can use them as many times as you want. The large locker costs $18, which is a bit pricey.
For men who want to show off their skills on the FlowRider to their family, be prepared with an excuse. It’s really difficult. I have experience with surfing and wakeboarding, but I couldn't do it at all. The board is unstable and slippery on the waves because it doesn’t have fins or channels on the bottom.
The various slides are enjoyable for families and even adults. Selfie sticks and GoPros were allowed.

In the morning, when we were picked up, there was a group of Japanese people. I was worried because they couldn't speak English, but the staff kindly explained everything in Japanese, which was a relief. Even the older couple nearing their sixties were fine.
In the sea, we encountered four groups of 20 to 30 dolphins. We only saw sea turtles from a distance, though.
On the boat, the staff entertained us. It was the best experience!
The bus was cold.

We participated as a family of four. There were many types of water slides, and the kids had a blast enjoying them until the very last minute.
The tornado ride that we could all enjoy together was really fun, and we went on it three times. The kids seemed to really love the flow rider and are saying they want to go again!
The park had an all-you-can-eat BBQ plan, but the food was already prepared and there weren't many options. Some of the salads were spoiled, which was a bit disappointing... If it weren't for that, it would have been a five-star experience.

I wanted to see the largest living creature up close, and that wish came true. When I participated in a tour in Okinawa before, I could only see a blow, but this time I got to see "peduncle arch," "fluke up," and even from a distance, "breaching." The boat was large, so we couldn't get too close, but it was wonderful to see the humpback whale with the naked eye. I think it depends on the weather, but on the day of the tour, the wind was quite strong on the sea, and there were waves, so I recommend bringing a sweater or jumper for warmth.
現存で生息する最大の生物をまじかで見たい。それが叶いました。
以前沖縄でツアーに参加した時はブローしか観られませんでしたが、「ペダンクルアーチ」「フルークアップ」遠目でしたが「ブリーチング」までサービスしてくれました。船が大きいため、あまり接近は出来ませんでしたが肉眼でザトウクジラを観ることができてとてもよかったです。天候にもよると思いますが当日海上はけっこう風が強く、波もあって寒かったのでセーターかジャンパー等の寒さよけの備えはしていったほうが良いと思います。

The weather was nice, so I made an online reservation the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales as I booked the whale watching at the last minute, but the lunch was more luxurious than I expected, and soft drinks were free. Considering it was a lunch cruise, it was fantastic. As soon as we boarded, we were told we could start eating, so I thought I could have had a lighter breakfast. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket and sunglasses were necessary. My 9-year-old and 4-year-old also enjoyed it.
お天気も良かったので、現地で前日にネット申し込みしました。ホエールウォッチングも最終段階での申し込みで、残念ながら見れませんでしたが、ランチが思っていた以上に豪華で、ソフトドリンクは無料で

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but we were able to secure our usual chairs in front of the wave pool. When we went to buy lunch, we found a menu that wasn't there last year. It was a bento box with rice. I believe it had fried chicken, and the rice with furikake was cheaper than the other menu items, like hamburgers. And it was delicious! We always rely on Veltra for transportation and admission fees, so this bento was a pleasant surprise.

Since it was the off-peak season, there were few people, and I was able to fully enjoy the attractions. However, the all-you-can-eat barbecue was disappointing, as the grilled meat was just left out. There were also rice, fruits, and yakisoba, but the salad vegetables seemed poorly washed, as I could feel the grit of sand.
I think it's sufficient to just enjoy the all-you-can-drink soft drinks and eat the regular food available in the park.

I signed up for this tour despite a busy schedule. The meeting time wasn't too early in the morning, and I was able to make it without any issues after breakfast. The meeting place was also close to the hotel, so I didn't get lost, but it's important to note that there were other tour groups at the meeting spot. It takes just under an hour by bus to reach the boarding location.
There were many Japanese participants on the boat, and the guide was also Japanese, making for a friendly atmosphere. We arrived at the sandbar about 20 minutes after departure. This time, the water was only ankle-deep due to low tide, which was surprising to find such a shallow area offshore.
We spent about an hour at the sandbar, enjoying volleyball with the guide and local staff. We had lunch (hamburgers) prepared by the local staff and went turtle watching. From the boat, we were able to see about 3 to 5 turtles. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. While it’s said that you can occasionally see turtles while snorkeling, we didn’t spot any this time. However, there were various fish swimming around, and time flew by quickly.
I think this is a cost-effective tour.

I didn't check the local tide chart, and the shuttle bus got caught in an accident-related traffic jam, which caused us to arrive at the port a bit late. As a result, the tide wasn't as low as I had imagined for walking on the sandbar, and the sandbar was submerged up to my knees. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to explore the sandbar. It seems that if you want to get onto the sandbar, it's best to check the tide chart and make a reservation. That said, the BBQ hamburger was exquisite. So delicious. The homemade ketchup and mayo sauce combined with the hamburger were just perfect, and it was worth eating just that. My whole family, including my kids (one girl and one boy, both in elementary school), had double burgers with double patties. The weather was bad, but we saw three sea turtles, and snorkeling in the clear ocean was amazing. My kids and I had plenty of fun just snorkeling. If the weather had been good, it would have been perfect!
現地の潮位表を確認しなかったのに加え、送迎バスも事故渋滞にはまって港に到着するのが少し遅れたこともあって、イメージしたサンドバーで砂洲の上を歩くような潮位にはならず、砂洲は膝下に水没した状態でした。砂洲を散策したかったので少し残念。砂洲にあがりたければ潮位表を確認して予約するのが良いみたい。とは言え、BBQのハンバーガーは絶品。うまい。自分で作るケチャップとマヨのソースとハンバーグがばっちりgoodでこれだけでも食べる価値有り。子供ともども家族全員パテダブルのダブルバーガーにしてもらいました。天候が悪かったけどウミガメは3匹見られたし、透明度の高い海でのシュノーケリングは最高。子供(女×1、男×1、ともに小学生)ともどもシュノーケルだけでも充分楽しめました。天気が良かったら最高だったのにな~。

I was able to see dolphins. The crew on board, including the captain, skillfully found a pod of dolphins and guided us into the water. I thought they would be further out at sea, but I was surprised to find them closer to the shore. While in the water, wearing snorkeling goggles, we were signaled to "look down!" However, rather than looking straight down, we needed to look ahead at a shallow distance to see the dolphins. During that time, some people in our group couldn't see anything and the dolphins swam away without them getting a glimpse.
While it says "you can swim with dolphins," it seems that the dolphins do not come close to you. The experience felt more like watching a pod of dolphins from the water. If you want to swim with them, I think you would have a more enjoyable time at a seaside park. Additionally, repeatedly getting in and out of the water can be a bit tough for elderly people and small children, especially since the boat isn't very large.
After the dolphin experience, we moved to another location for snorkeling. We spent about 40-50 minutes there. The crew worked hard to provide us with slides and kayaks, and we were able to see sea turtles.
Lastly, I won’t mention names, but one Japanese female crew member who was with us from the pickup was quite disappointing. She was in training, and perhaps it was her first day, as she kept saying things like "I don’t know how to say in Japanese!" and "It's super amazing!"—phrases that are not commonly used in Japanese customer service. Although she played a video with safety instructions, her conversations with senior crew members and the cameraman about her dog and husband (some of which were quite vulgar, mixing Japanese and English) were distracting, making it hard to hear the video. I also wondered about the senior male crew member who didn’t intervene.
I would have preferred if such conversations were held after the tour. It seems they assumed that the Japanese participants wouldn’t understand English, but among those who attended that day, we exchanged glances, thinking, "That person is saying something incredible..." Since most of the participants were Japanese, I wished they had shown a bit more consideration.

船長さん含む船上クルーの皆さんは、慣れた様子でイルカの群れを見つけ、私達を海に入れてリードしてくれました。沖の方にいるのかと思っていましたが、意外に沿岸部にいて驚きでした。海の中では、シュノーケルのゴーグルを付けていて、look down ! 下見て!の合図で下を見るのですが、真下というよりは、前方で、浅く遠くを見ないとイルカは見えません。そうしている間に何も見えずイルカが去ってしまい、全く見られなかった人達も同じグループには数人いました。
”イルカと一緒に泳げる”とありますが、イルカは決して寄って来てくれるわけではないようです。感覚としては、海の中からイルカの群れを見る...という感じでしょうか。一緒に泳ぐならシーサイドパークの方が確実に楽しめるかと思いました。あと何度も海に入る、船に戻るを繰り返し、船も大きいわけではないので、高齢の方や小さい子供は少し辛いかもしれません。
イルカが終わったら、次は場所を移動してシュノーケリングをします。ここで40-50分過ごしました。滑り台やカヤックを出してくださり、ウミガメを見たりとクルーの皆さんはとても頑張ってくださいました。
最後に、お名前は控えますが送迎から一緒の日本人女性クルーが、とても残念な感じでした。
研修中との事でしたが、たぶんその日が初日だったのでしょうか、説明中は、I don’t know how to say in Japanese ! や、超すごいんでぇ!などとあまり日本人の接客では使わない言葉を連発し、「注意事項のビデオを流すので、よく見てください」と流したものの狭い車内の中で、彼女は先輩クルーやカメラマンに、ご自身の犬や旦那様(一部かなり下品な内容を日本語と英語を混ぜて話されていて不快極まりないです)の話、今日これ終わったらうちに遊びに来ない?などと、積極的に話しかけ、その声が邪魔になりビデオの音声なんて聞こえませんでした。それを注意しない先輩男性クルーもどうなのか...。
そういうお話は業務中でなく、終わっかてからしていただきたかったです。ツアーに参加する日本人は全く英語がわからないと思われているのでしょうが、その日に参加した人達の中で、「あの人、すごい事話してるね...」と顔を見合わせていましたよ。日本人参加者がほとんどのツアーなのですから、もう少し配慮をしていただきたかったです。
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the attitude of our new guide during the tour. I also appreciate you taking the time to provide us with such valuable feedback. We have already discussed this internally. Moving forward, we are committed to strengthening our employee training to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
Regarding the dolphins, since they are wild animals, their behavior can vary from friendly to less so, and it changes daily. Dolphin & You is certified as an eco-friendly tour, and we conduct our tours in a way that does not disturb the wildlife. While the situation with the dolphins can vary each day, we hope you can fully enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii through our tours.
トラベラー様、書き込みありがとうございます。ツアー中の新人ガイドの態度につきまして、大変申し訳ありませんでした。またこのような貴重なご報告をいただけたことに感謝しております。さっそく社内で話をさせていただきました。今後は、このようなことがないよう社員教育に力を入れていく所存でございます。
また、イルカにつきましては、野生のイルカなもので、フレンドリーな時もあれば、そうでない時もあり、毎日様々です。ドルフィン&ユーは、エコフレンドリーツアーにも認定されており、野生の生き物たちの邪魔をしないようツアーを行なっております。毎日イルカの状況は、さまざまですが、他にもハワイの自然を存分に楽しんでいただけたらと思い、ツアーに取り組んでおります。

Since it was the last day for whale watching registration, I can only say that it was disappointing to just get on the boat. I wish I had gone during the breeding season when we could have definitely seen them. It's just one word: disappointing.
ホエールウオッチング最終日受付ということもあり?ただただ、船に乗っただけで、残念としか言いようがありません。確実に会える産卵期にすればよかったかと。残念の一言です
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I had prepared myself because someone mentioned that the whales appear small. Indeed, they seem very far away. There aren't any boats that can get close, so it can't be helped, but you can still see them properly. It's impossible to take pictures with a mobile camera because they are too far away. Even when zoomed in the most, it looks like this. Keeping that in mind, I think it's a good cruise to join.
鯨が小さく見えると書いていた方が居たので覚悟はしていました。
やっぱり、すごく遠くに見えると言う感覚です。
近くに行ける船がないからしかたないですが、ちゃんと見れます。
携帯カメラでは遠すぎて撮影は無理です。
1番ズームにして撮影してもこんな感じ。
それを頭において、参加すればいいクルーズだと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
To protect the whales' ecology, we maintain a certain distance, but on some days, friendly whales may come close or show off their impressive jumps.
We hope you will challenge yourself to search for those whales again.
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

鯨の生態を守る為、一定の距離を保っておりますが、日によっては、フレンドリーな鯨が近くまで来てくれたり、豪快なジャンプを見せてくれる事もございます。
そんな鯨たちを探しにまたチャレンジしていただければと思います。
またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

On this day, there was such heavy rain that even the locals were surprised, but I participated in the tour as scheduled. It was cold, but I somehow managed to enjoy myself. The barbecue was buffet-style, and both the chicken and beef were more tender and delicious than I expected.
この日は、現地の人もびっくりするくらいの大雨でしたが、ツアーには予定通り参加しました。
寒かったけど、なんとか無理やり楽しんだ感じです。
バーベキューは ビュッフェ方式で、思っていたより鶏肉も、牛肉も柔らかくて美味しかった。

This whale watching trip was the highlight of our week long vacation on Oahu! I will recommend this whale watching trip as a most do for anyone going to Hawaii! Food was excellent; the onboard naturalist was great and the boat and crew were first rate.
