Very enjoyable. Saw a very large sea turtle, no dolphins though, maybe wrong time of year. The boat crew was very professional and helpful. Would definitely go again.

We celebrated my mother's 70th birthday (a traditional milestone in Japan) with a total of 13 family members. We chose the standard course, but considering the seating and the food, I wish we had opted for the deluxe course since it was a special occasion. The activities, shows, and location were all wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As mentioned in other reviews, everything was in English and catered to Westerners, but it was nice to experience a foreign atmosphere that you don't find in the Japanese-speaking Waikiki, which added to the fun.
However, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was very strong, and it was freezing cold. I think it's especially advisable for women to bring a thicker outer layer like a hoodie.
母の70歳(古希)のお祝いに、身内親族総勢13人で参加しました。スタンダードコースにしましたが、席やお料理のことを考えると、お祝いごとなので、デラックスコースにしておけばよかったと思いました。アクティビティー、ショーやロケーション、どれも素晴らしく、満喫できました。皆さんの口コミにあったように、全て英語で欧米人向きでしたが、日本語だらけのワイキキにはない外国に来た雰囲気を実感できて、それも楽しいものでした。
ただ、行き帰りの送迎バスの冷房が強く、凍える寒さでした。女性は特に、パーカーなど厚手のはおりものがあったほうがいいと思います。

We took the afternoon dolphin watch cruise that set sail at 1pm. Saw some sea turtles and a dolphin pod from afar. The snorkelling was nothing great...lots of reef fishes and mostly dead coral. Being prone to motion sickness, I was elated at how wonderfully stable the catamaran was, and for once I actually enjoyed sailing instead of spending half my time being sick over the rails. In spite of my disappointment at not seeing dolphins up close, the afternoon turned out to be a really pleasant cruise along the beautiful Ko Olina coastline. The staff were attentive and friendly. My 3 year son threw a fit when I got him out of the choppy waters during the snorkelling session. Kudos to the staff who successfully quietened him down by giving him bread to feed the fishes from the back of the ship. Food was great. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and fruit salad were delicious. All in all, a lovely afternoon.

I wanted to enjoy a lot of delicious seafood, so I signed up for this tour because it was a great deal with a shuttle service to Tantalus Lookout. The crab legs were very salty (is that the local seasoning?), but all the dishes were incredibly tasty. Additionally, the service was excellent; they refilled our water without us even having to ask. I was able to eat to my heart's content and was very satisfied!

I made a reservation for my daughter who loves slides. Since we had kids with us, we opted for the all-inclusive course (which included transportation, lunch, and drinks). There were plenty of pools and slides for children, and there were many lifeguards, which made it safe to use. My daughter was thrilled and played to her heart's content until closing time.
However, the agency's service was terrible. They didn't come at the scheduled pickup time, and we had to call them to find out that a taxi would be coming. This resulted in a one-hour delay. There was no communication about the return pickup time or where lunch would be served, making the high cost feel wasted. Since we were staying in Ko Olina, I regretted not just taking a taxi myself and eating at one of the places inside, which would have been sufficient. I realize now that it was my fault for expecting service on par with Japan. It was quite unpleasant.
That said, WET & WILD itself is a lot of fun and I recommend it. I plan to go again next year.
スライダー好きな娘のために予約。子連れなので、オールインクルーシブ(送迎、ランチ、ドリンク付き)コースにしました。子供用のプールやスライダーがたくさんあり、監視員も多く安心して利用できた点はいってよかったです。娘も大喜びで、閉園ギリギリまでめいいっぱい遊んでました。
ただ、代理店の対応は最悪で、送迎の時間になっても来ず、こちらから電話してタクシーがくる次第。これで1時間のロス。帰りの送迎はどこに何時か、ランチはどこで何時かなど、何の連絡もなく高いお金を払ったのが無駄になりました。コオリナに宿泊していたので、こんなんなら自分でタクシーで行き、ランチも中に食べるところがあったからそれで十分だったと後悔。日本並みのサービスを求めた自分が悪かったと思うことにします。かなり不愉快でした。
ただWET & WILD自体はとても楽しいところでオススメです。来年もまた行く予定です。
Thank you for using our services.
However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with proper information regarding lunch times and pickup locations, which resulted in your dissatisfaction.

I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.
We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.
Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)
Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, as well as many other fish. The instructor was swimming with an octopus in one hand. The taro burger on the water was quite delicious.

Although the morning starts early, it was a fulfilling experience that didn't feel like just a half-day tour. The staff were all bright and kind, making it a tour that anyone can enjoy!

I participated with a friend in September. Due to the season and timing, we couldn't see the sandbar, and the water was about waist-deep, but afterwards at the turtle point, we saw many sea turtles, and there were also a lot of sea turtles at the snorkeling point, so it was truly moving to swim so close to them (I heard this was lucky). Next time, I want to come back during the season when we can see the sandbar.

We had such a great time both on the boat and in the water.
The food was great and staff members were all super nice and sweet.
I really appreciate it!
The only one bad thing for me was that I didn't remember/they didn't know how much it cost. I reserved this tour through the internet in advance like 10 days ago and payed with my credit card. Since my friends(there were 5 of us) tried to pay me by cash at the day of the tour but the voucher didn't mention about the price, I asked at the front how much they charged on my credit card. And the lady checked my name on the list and PC and said it's $485. I thought it's a little more inexpensive than I thought, so I asked her to double check and she said it's correct. So we just split the bill. But I found that they charged $695, which was the correct amount, after I left hawaii and got back home...Unfortunately all other friends are form other countries, so I gave up getting the difference in the bill from them. :(
I think the total amount should be on the voucher or at least they should have gave me correct info!

The weather unexpectedly turned to rain. It wasn't constant, and there were moments of sunshine peeking through the heavy clouds, so it was a rain I could accept. I couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, thinking how much more beautiful it would have been if it had been sunny.
We had plenty of time for snorkeling around the turtle spot and at the sandbar, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. The highlight was definitely the delicious hamburger for lunch. It was amazing.
I felt like the wait for the bus back was unnecessarily long, but my swimsuit dried completely. The bus had air conditioning, so a cover-up is a must.
天気はまさかの雨。ずっとではなく、重い雲の隙間から時々晴れ間が出たので、ま、仕方ないと諦められる雨でした。
晴れてたらもっときれいにみられたんだろうなーと悔しさが残りました。
サンドバーも、ウミガメスポット周辺でのシュノーケリングの時間もたっぷり取れたので、十分楽しめました。
なんといってもランチのハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。サイコーでした。

Thanks Mary for the great review, and coming out with us! I'm glad you were able to enjoy our tropical waters and the hard coral that we have in Hawaii. Our waters are cooler than what you would experience in the Caribbean, so we don't feature the fanning type of coral- mostly the brain, and other types of more rock looking features. Did you know that 30% of our fish can only be found in Hawaii? Anyway, just thought we would share some fun facts. We love our jobs and glad we were able to share a great day with you. Take care and Aloha! Ko Olina Ocean Adventures
