Oahu
I participated in the $7.77 tour. There were many interesting attractions, and I had a great time. However, I felt that there might not have been enough staff since when one attraction opened, another one closed. On the day I visited, it was not crowded, so I could ride quickly, but if it had been busy with long wait times, it might have been tough.
I was a bit surprised to see what looked like a dead cockroach in the hallway, and there was also something that resembled a cockroach floating in the lazy river, which honestly made me feel a bit uneasy. I hoped the pool staff would take care of it, but they were just singing without a care, which is typical American behavior. They might not have noticed the bugs, but I wished they would have taken care of it before singing.
The activity guide was very kind. There were explanations on the bus, and they stayed inside for a while, which was helpful because I could ask questions if I didn't understand something.
When I wanted to take a photo on the way back, the pool staff happily agreed with a big smile. Additionally, while I was trying to take individual photos at the entrance, a returning guest (a foreigner) offered to take a picture for us, which was very touching. I thought it was something you don't often see in Japan.
It was definitely enjoyable for couples, but I think it's the perfect place for kids. However, there are height restrictions for each attraction, so I think it's better for those who are at least elementary school age.
$7.77ツアーで参加しました。
面白いアトラクションが多く楽しめました。
ただ一つのアトラクションが開くと一つのアトラクションが閉まるのでスタッフの人数が足りないのかな・・・と感じました。
あと行った日は空いていたのですぐに乗れましたがもし混んでいて待ち時間が長かったらしんどいかもしれないです。
通路のところにゴキブリらしきものが死んでいてちょっとビックリしましたが流れるプールにもゴキブリらしきものが浮いていてさすがにちょっと・・・嫌な気分になりました。
プールのスタッフの人が取ってくれたら良いのですが、そこはさすがアメリカンで何も気にせず歌を歌っていたりでした。虫の存在に気付いてないかもですが、私からしたらお願いだから歌う前にとって欲しかったです。
アクティビティのガイドさんはとっても優しかったです。
バス内でも説明がありますが中に入ってしばらく居てくれるので分からない事は聞いたりできて助かりました。
帰りに写真を撮ろうと思いプールのスタッフの方にお願いすると満面の笑みでOKしてくれました。
他にも入り口のところで一人ずつ撮ろうとしていたら帰りのお客さん(外国人の方)が向こうから写真を撮ろうか?って言ってきてくれて優しさに感動しました。
日本ではなかなかない事だなと思いました。
カップルでも十分楽しめたけど、お子さんには最高の場所と思います。
ただアトラクションごとに身長制限があるので小学生以上くらいの方が良いと思います。
We regret to hear that you were unable to participate as you had hoped due to the attraction rotation. Currently, on Alan1.net, we have published tips for enjoying the park tenfold under the "Exclusive Information!" section, including details about the attraction rotation. We hope you find this helpful for your next visit.
アトラクションのローテーションにより、思うように参加できなかったとのコメント。とても残念でございます。現在Alan1.netでは、アクティビティページ概要内で「パークを10倍楽しむ!Alan1.net ここだけ情報!」として、アトラクションのローテーション情報など攻略ポイントを公開中です。次回お越しの際にご参考にしていただけると幸いです。
We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.
This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.
On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.
I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.
ハワイ6回目にして、初めてあこがれのサンドバーに行きました。
向かう途中のバスの中でも(英語でしたが)ガイドさんの話が面白くて退屈しませんでしたし、船も楽しかったです。
ファミリーでの参加、しかも4歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。
残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。
今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。
The shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel, so I threw on a hoodie over my swimsuit and off we went! The bus arrived before the park opened, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, our whole family had a great time.
There were various attractions, including slides and tubes, accommodating from one person up to six people. We didn't set up lunch, but you can buy hot dogs, pizza, and hamburgers inside the park.
The changing rooms can't exactly be called clean, but that's the same in Japan. It might have been because it was less crowded, but we had a full day of fun, and unlike Japanese pools, there were no extra charges for the large slides, so you can slide down as many times as you want. I wouldn't say the price is too high... (of course, cheaper is always better).
ホテルまで送迎バスが迎えに来てくれるので水着の上にパーカー羽織っていざ出発!
開園前にバスは到着し、待つ事10分。
家族全員楽しんで来ました。
そのまま滑るスライダーやチューブ(浮輪)に乗って滑るスライダーなど様々ですが、1人乗から最大6人乗まで楽しめました。
お昼はセットしませんでしたが、園内でホットドックやピザ、ハンバーガーなどが買えます。
更衣室はお世辞にもキレイとは言えませんが、それは日本も同じ事。
空いてたからかも知れませんが、1日楽しめて日本のプールのように大型スライダーは別料金と言った事が無いので、何度も滑れるのでお値段的にも高すぎるって事はないかな・・?(もちろん安い方がいいけど)
this place was great,,,everyone should see this
I participated with my mother and son. My mother, who is in the silver generation, also challenged herself on the slide, and it seemed she enjoyed it because she rode together with us on the two-person and three-person slides. My elementary school son had a great time and kept sliding down so many times that it was almost persistent (laughs). Since the local children were already on summer vacation in June, I thought it would be crowded on the weekends, so we went on a Monday. Thanks to that, it was not crowded, and we could use almost all the slides without waiting in line. The facilities for small children's pools are also well-equipped, so even little kids can have fun. Life jackets of all sizes were available for free rental. I think our family will go again next time.
母と息子と参加しました。
シルバー世代の母もスライダーに挑戦しましたが、2人乗りや3人乗りに一緒に乗ったので安心だったみたいで楽しんでました。
小学生の息子は、それはそれは楽しんで、しつこいくらいに何度も滑ってました(笑)
6月で現地の子供はすでに夏休みだったので、土日は混み合うと思い、月曜日に行きました。
おかげで空いていたので、どのスライダーもほとんど並ばずに利用できました。
小さな子供用のプールも施設が充実していますので、小さなお子さんでも楽しめます。
ライフベストも各サイズが揃って無料貸出されてました。
我が家は次回もまた行くと思います。
This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it without getting bored at all. This time it was crowded, so there were quite a few attractions with some waiting. However, unlike last time, there were no attractions that were interrupted, so I was able to enjoy everything continuously. Just keep in mind that with so many people, buying food can involve quite a bit of waiting. I recommend purchasing your meals early.
二度目の参加でしたが全くあきずに楽しめました。
今回は混んでいたので若干待つアトラクションが多かったです。でも前回のように途中で中断するアトラクションがなかったのでずっと楽しめました。
ただ人数が多いと食事を買うのもかなり並びます。
早めに食事を買うことをおすすめします。
It's packed with attractions that aren't found in Japan. When I went, it was not crowded, so I could ride as much as I wanted. You can buy snacks like hamburgers and hot dogs even without a meal plan. Have fun!
日本ではないアトラクション満載です。
私が行ったときはすいていたので乗りたい放題でした。
ご飯はつけなくてもハンバーガーやホットドッグなど軽食が買えます。楽しんできてください。
I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii! A large private bus came to pick us up at the hotel in the morning. It was easy to recognize because it had "Wet 'n' Wild" written on it in big letters. However, the air conditioning inside the bus was really strong, and it was cold. (During the time I visited Hawaii, it was generally cold indoors and on the bus...)
Since I woke up early, I fell asleep on the bus after listening to the explanation! Before I knew it, we had arrived.
Here we go!!! It was not crowded, so we could enjoy all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time on the slides, which you wouldn't find in Japan! However, there were no signs in the park (or maybe there were?), so at first, I didn't know where the entrances to the slides were or where I was. But by the second half, I had a good grasp of the layout!
I was excited to play, but at first, I really didn't know what to do, and I wished there had been a bit more explanation on the bus. They might have explained it, but I was confused about how to get the inner tubes for the slides.
Also, walking barefoot in the park almost gave me burns. If I wore flip-flops, I wouldn't be able to slide down, so I thought it would have been better to bring some water shoes. I left my flip-flops at the slide entrance while playing, but after sliding down, I had to go back to the entrance to get them again.
I wrote a lot, but I had a great time. There are so many things you can't find in Japan, and even if something like this were to be built in Japan, there would be long lines. I will definitely go again the next time I visit Hawaii!
ウエット&ワイルドハワイに行ってきました!
ホテルに朝大きな専用バスで迎えにきてくれました。大きくウエット&ワイルドと書かれたバスだったのでわかりやすかったです。ただバスの中は冷房が強くて寒かったです。(私が行った時期のハワイは基本的に室内、バスは寒かったです…)
朝早く起きたので説明聞いたあとはバスでグッスリ!あっという間に着いてました~
いざ突入~!!!空いててどれもあんまり並ばずに遊べました。日本では有り得ないだろうスライダーを思う存分楽しみました☆ただ園内には案内板的なものがなかったので(あったのかな?)どこがどのスライダーの乗り口かと自分が今いる場所が最初のほうはわかりませんでした。けど後半にはだいたい全体をつかめました!
さぁ遊ぼ~としたけど最初はほんとになにしていいかわからずでもうちょっとバスで説明してほしかったな~と思いました。していただいてたのかもしれませんが…スライダーすべるための浮輪はどうすればいいのか???でした。
あと園内を裸足で歩いてたら火傷しそうになりました。ビーサンだとそのままスライダーすべれないだろうし、できればマリンシューズ的なのを持っていったらよかったなと思いました。ビーサンを乗り場に置いて遊んでましたが滑り終わったらまた乗り場にビーサンとりに行かなきゃならなかったりしたので。
いろいろと書きましたがすごく楽しかったです。日本では有り得ないものいっぱいだし、もし日本にできたとしてもものすごく並ぶだろうし、私は次ハワイに行くときも絶対行きます!!
the staff was great
I visited on June 6, 2012.
There were six of us participating: my parents, myself, and my daughters (in 4th grade, 2nd grade, and preschool).
We were picked up by bus and arrived before the opening, applying sunscreen while waiting to dive into Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.
After passing the Keiki Cove for toddlers, we settled in the shaded area of Water World for elementary school kids, where everyone except my eldest daughter wore life vests and played around.
Since we were wearing rash guards, there were times when it felt cold when the sun was hidden or strong winds blew, but my second daughter, who let her guard down and took off her rash guard, ended up with a bright red sunburn at night, reminding us of the strength of Hawaii's UV rays.
For lunch, we had a hall pizza (about 40 cm in diameter for $25), two cheeseburgers, and French fries, which filled us up quite a bit. The kids were so absorbed in playing that they hardly had time to eat, just wanting to be in the water.
We decided to challenge ourselves with the thrill rides and went to ride the Raging River with three of us. It said to ride with over 150 kg, but the three of us were at most 100 kg, yet we were able to ride. The staff were probably students, and they didn't understand Japanese. After overtaking a few people, we finally got on. It was so much fun!
Unfortunately, some activities closed irregularly (maybe due to staff availability?), and we were really disappointed that we couldn't try the Island Racer or Shaka.
We slid down the Surf Slider together, but I was disappointed that my swimsuit didn't allow me to slide easily.
The wave pool started operating in the afternoon. The kids got hooked on it (I don't think such big waves can be made in Japan) and were having a blast while screaming with excitement.
Before we knew it, it was time to gather, and we left with some regrets.
The changing room was combined with the restroom, and the showers had cold water, so I recommend taking a warm shower at the hotel instead.
If I have the chance again, I would like to challenge the thrill rides we missed.
The guide was very kind and even took photos for us.
2012年6月6日に行ってきました
父母/私/娘(小4、小2、年中)計6名で参加しました。
バスで送迎してもらって、開演前に到着し、日焼け止めを塗りつつ開演をまちいざウェット&ワイルドハワイへ突入しました。
幼児を遊ばせるケイキーコーブをすぎた小学生向けエリアウオーターワールドの木陰に陣取りし、長女以外はライフベスト着用の上いろいろと遊ばせました。
ラッシュガード着用していたので、日が陰ったり決行強い風が吹くと寒く感じるときもありましたが、ラッシュガードを脱いで油断した次女が夜に真っ赤に日焼けしていて改めてハワイの紫外線の強さを感じました。
昼食には、園内のホールピザ(直径40cm位で$25)とチーズバーガー2つ、フレンチフライポテトでもう結構お腹いっぱいでした。こどもは遊びに夢中なのでご飯を食べる時間も惜しいくらいで、とにかく水に浸かっていました。
絶叫系にチャレンジしようと思ってレイジングリバーに三人で乗りに行きました。150kg以上で乗ってくださいと書いてあったのですが、私たち三人でせいぜい100kgでしたが乗る事ができました。係員は多分学生なのでしょう、日本語は通じないです。何人か追い越されてやっと乗る事ができました。とっても楽しかったです、
残念ながら、アクティビティが不定期にクローズ(係員の都合?)となり、ほかのアイランドレーサー、シャカなど行けなかったのはとても残念でした。
サーフスライダーは3人で同時に滑ったのですが、私の水着が悪かったのかなかなかすべらなかったのが残念でした。
ウェーブプールは、午後から稼働しました。これに子どもたちははまってしまい(多分日本ではここまでおおきな波は立てないと思います)キャーキャー良いながら楽しんでいました。
集合時間があっと言う間に来てしまったので、心残りで帰りました。
更衣室はトイレと一緒になっていて、シャワーは冷水なので、ホテルで温かいシャワーを浴びる方がおすすめです。
また機会があれば回れなかった絶叫系にチェレンジしたいと思いました。
ガイドのお姉さんはとても親切で、写真の撮影もしてくださいました。
Thank you for visiting Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your day with us.
As you pointed out, the Hawaiian sun is strong, so we recommend applying sunscreen thoroughly and reapplying it frequently. Most of our staff do not speak Japanese, so please be sure to check the instructions at each attraction and use the slides at your own discretion.
We strive to have all attractions available during your stay, but please understand that there may be times when some attractions are not open due to rotating operational hours.
We look forward to your next visit.
ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイをご利用いただき有難うございます。
1日楽しんでいただけたとのこと、私どもも嬉しく思っております。
ご指摘いただきましたとおり、ハワイの日差しは強いため、日焼け止めはしっかりと塗り、こまめに塗り直しなどもしていただければと思います。
ほとんどのスタッフは日本語を話しませんので、必ず各アトラクションの注意書きをご確認のうえ、ご自身の判断でスライダーをご利用いただきますようお願いいたします。
滞在中に全アトラクションをご利用いただけるよう稼働しておりますが、稼働時間をローテンションでまわしている時期もあり、時間帯によってはオープンしていないアトラクションもございますことご了承ください。
またのお越しお待ちしております。
I think the difference lies in where companies can stand out since what you can see is the same across the board.
The good things were that they arrived almost on time, the service was good, and the explanations on the boat were well done.
What was disappointing was that the talks weren't very entertaining, and the biggest letdown was that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. It might have been unavoidable due to the large number of participants.
However, to come back without seeing a single fish was really disappointing. The sandbar was beautiful, and they actively took photos, which was nice, but I wanted to see the fish. It was very disappointing that they didn't guide us to the spots where we could actually see them and just proceeded mechanically.
見れるものはどの会社でも同じだからどこで差をつけるかだと思います。
よかったことは、ほぼ時間通りに迎えがきたこと、対応はよかったこと、船での説明がよかったこと。
残念だったのは、あまりトークが面白くなかったこと、一番大きかったのはスノーケルで魚が全然見えなかったこと。参加人数が多かったので仕方のないことだったかもしれません。
しかし、魚一匹も見れずに、帰ってきてくださーいって。。非常に残念です。
サンドバーは綺麗だったし、写真も積極的に撮ってくれたりしてよかったですが、お魚さんみたかったのに、ちゃんと見えるポイントも案内せず、事を機械的にすすめていたことが非常に残念でした。
Thank you for using our services.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar. Please understand that the number and types of fish you can see may vary from day to day, as they are wild creatures.
However, we will take your feedback into consideration and work with the tour operator to ensure that we can provide a more satisfying experience for all participants.
We look forward to serving you again.

この度はご利用ありがとうございました。
サンドバーをお楽しみいただけたようで、私どもも嬉しく思っております。
ご指摘いただきました魚に関しましては、野生の生き物ですので日によってご覧いただける数や種類など異なりますことご了承ください。
しかしながら、ご参加いただいている皆様にご満足いただけるツアーが提供できるよう、いただきましたご意見を参考に、催行会社と共に、よりよいツアーが提供できるよう努めさせていただきます。
またのご利用お待ちしております。

I signed up for the early morning plan. I was finally able to go to the sandbar that I had always wanted to visit with my husband and my 2-year-old daughter. The weather in Waikiki during pickup was sunny! I thought this was going to be the best tour, but as we headed towards Kaneohe, thick clouds quickly covered the sky. My mood dropped, but our energetic guide Yukiko cheered me up, reminding me that such days happen. We boarded the boat and set off on the cruise. We took photos with Chinaman's Hat and the Ko'olau Mountains in the background, and we were able to spot many sea turtles at the turtle spot. Just as Yukiko announced, "We're almost at the sandbar!" I suddenly noticed that the thick clouds had disappeared, and it was completely sunny with the sparkling sandbar in sight. I was so excited that I was jumping around more than my child (laughs).
Since it was close to low tide, the water was only about ankle-deep, which was perfect for my child to splash around and play. We were able to spend an unforgettable time as a family. The local staff were friendly and great, and even though it was a 2-hour cruise, it was very fulfilling. We returned to Waikiki in time for my daughter's nap, so I think this plan is highly recommended for families with small children! I wasn't able to take good photos when it was sunny, so I plan to join again next time I go to Hawaii for a little revenge (laughs)!
早朝プランに申し込みました。2歳の娘と主人と3人でずっと行きたかった念願のサンドバーに行くことができました。
ピックアップしていただいたワイキキは晴天!これは最高のツアーになるな、と思っていたのもつかの-間バスでカネオヘに向かう山に入る間にみるみる厚い雲に覆われていきました。すっかり気分は落ち込んだのですが、元気印のようなガイドのユキコさんから元気をもらってそんな日もあるかと気を取り直してボートに乗り込みいざクルーズへ。チャイナマンズハットやコオラウ山脈をバックに写真撮影をしてもらい、ウミガメスポットでたくさんのウミガメを発見できました。もうすぐサンドバーでーす!のユキコさんの案内でふと見ると厚い雲はどこへやら、すっかり晴天になりキラキラ輝くサンドバーがあるではありませんか。感激して子供以上にはしゃいでしまいました(笑)
干潮に近い時間だったので水深も足首くらいだったのでちょうど子供がぱしゃぱしゃ遊ぶことができ、家族で忘れられない時間を過ごすことができました。
ローカルのスタッフもフレンドリーでいい感じで、2時間のクルーズでしたがとっても充実していました。お昼にはワイキキに戻れるので娘のお昼寝にも間に合ったし小さい子供連れにもおすすめできるプランだと思います!
晴れているときの写真がうまく撮れなかったのでリベンジもかねて(笑)また次ハワイに行く時も絶対参加します!!
At 9 AM, the shuttle bus for Wet 'n Wild picked us up from the hotel. During this time, they wrapped our passports around our wrists. Inside the bus, there were no videos playing, but there was an audio guide in Japanese about the facilities. Once we arrived at the site, there was no further guidance, so I think it's better to listen carefully.
We arrived at the location a little after 10 AM. Since it opened at 10:30, we had to wait for a while. After it opened, we stored our belongings in a locker. There are both large and small lockers available. In addition to the locker fee, you need to pay a $5 deposit. The deposit can be refunded when you show the receipt from when you paid for the locker at the time of key return, so be careful not to lose it.
All the activities were fun. The slides, in particular, were thrilling and unlike anything in Japan, and I found myself screaming after a long time. The Shaka slide was especially entertaining. However, not all activities were open at the same time; they seemed to operate on a rotation, so sometimes when I wanted to go to the next one, it was closed, which felt a bit like a waste of time.
For lunch, I had fast food, which was delicious. During peak times, there can be quite a line. I ate at a staggered time, so I was able to avoid waiting.
If I have the chance, I would like to go again.
ホテルへ9時にウエット&ワイルドの送迎バスが迎えにきてくれました。
その際、腕にパスポートを巻いてくれます。
バス車内ではパンフレットを見ながら映像は流れませんが、日本語で施設の音声案内がありました。
現地に着いてからは案内が無い為、聞いていた方がいいと思います。
バス車内は冷房が効いており、寒く感じるかもしれません。
現地に到着したのが10時過ぎ。
10時半オープンの為、しばらく待ちました。
オープン後は荷物をロッカーに預けました。ロッカーのサイズは大と小があります。ロッカー代とは別に5ドルの保証金を払います。保証金はロッカー代を支払った際のレシートを鍵返却時に見せれば戻ってきますので、なくさない様に注意した方がいいです。
アクティビティはどれも楽しかったです。
特にスライダー系は日本にはない、スリル満点な物ばかりで、久しぶりに叫びました。
特に、シャカがおもしろかったです。
ただ、全部のアクティビティがオープンしているわけではなく、交代制になっているようで、次に行こうと思っていると閉まっていたりで、時間が少し勿体無い感じもしました。
お昼はファストフードを食べましたが、美味しかったです。
ピークの時間は結構並びます。時間をずらして食べたので、並ばずに済みました。
機会があれば、また行きたいです。
We received comments about the rotation of attractions, which made it difficult to participate as desired. We are very sorry to hear that. Currently, on Alan1.net, we are sharing tips, including information about attraction rotations, under the overview of the activities page titled "Enjoy the park 10 times more! Exclusive information from Alan1.net!" We hope you find it helpful for your next visit.
アトラクションにローテーションがあり、思うように参加できなかったとのコメント。とても残念でございます。現在Alan1.netでは、アクティビティページ概要内で「パークを10倍楽しむ!Alan1.net ここだけ情報!」として、アトラクションのローテーション情報など攻略ポイントを公開中です。次回お越しの際にご参考にしていただけると幸いです。
I love snorkeling. The scenery is beautiful, so I recommend going at least once.
シュノーケル大好きです。景色が綺麗なので、1度は行ってみることお勧めです。
I chose to participate on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. The timing was close to low tide for this tour, so I joined. On this day, there were two buses filled with only Japanese participants. However, the staff handled everything efficiently, so the movement was smooth.
After everyone saw the honu (sea turtles), we headed to the sandbar. The wind was strong, and the water was cold!! Everyone was shivering. But I was so happy to see the sandbar, which I had been looking forward to the most since before the trip.
It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand, so I could see well underwater! However, I realized that you can't snorkel if you can't swim... Still, I was satisfied to have experienced it a little.
After getting back on the boat, I enjoyed the sandwiches and tea that were prepared. Since I was cold, the food was a welcome treat!
On the day I participated, most of the attendees were couples, but there were also families and groups of friends who seemed to be having a great time.
滞在中でいちばん干潮になる日を選んで参加しました。時間帯が、こちらのツアーが干潮時に近かったので参加しました。 この日は日本人だけでバス2台でした。でもスタッフの方が手際よく対応されていたので移動などはスムーズでした。
みんなでホヌ(ウミガメ)を見たあとはサンドバーへ。風が強く、海の中は寒かった!!みんな震えてました。でも旅行前から一番楽しみにしていたサンドバーが見れてうれしかったです。
私はシュノーケル初体験でしたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったので、ちゃんと海の中が見えました!でも泳げないとシュノーケルってできないんですね…。それでも少し体験できて満足です。
船にあがった後は、準備されているサンドイッチと紅茶をいただきました。身体が冷えていたので、食べ物うれしい!
私が参加した日は参加者はほぼカップルでしたが、家族連れの方や友達同士で参加の方も楽しそうでした★
We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.
The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.
All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.
There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊
早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。
スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです^^
I went on May 14th with my children, who are in the first and third grades. Since it was our first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to create fun memories for the kids, so I chose a course that included a barbecue and unlimited soft drinks.
We were picked up from the hotel and visited several hotels, arriving at the park just after 10 AM. We had to wait at the entrance for a while because we could only enter from 10:30 AM.
Although we had a limited time from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, both the kids and adults had a great time, but we still felt that the time was not enough.
Once we entered the park, we changed clothes, played, and had lunch, and the time really flew by. We even talked as a family about wanting to come back while we were playing.
Walking barefoot in the park under the strong Hawaiian sun was tough. It felt like my soles might get burned, so next time I want to wear something like beach shoes.
Also, I want to rent a car next time so we can play until closing time.
Although it was called a lunch barbecue, what was provided was a lunch box with a grilled meat bento, salad, and fruit. They said it was all-you-can-eat, but we couldn't eat that much... However, my fruit-loving kids went back for seconds.
5/14に行きました。小学1年、3年の子供と一緒にでした。初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、子供たちに楽しい思い出を残してあげたかったのでバーベキューとソフトドリンク飲み放題付きのコースにしました。
ホテルにピックアップに来てもらって、いくつかのホテルを回り、パークに付いたのは10時過ぎ。10時30分からしか入れないとの事でしばらく入り口で待たされました。
10時30分~15時までと限られた時間の中、子供も大人も凄く楽しめましたが、やっぱり時間が足らないと感じました。
パーク内に入り、着替えをして遊んで、ランチを食べて、本当にあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。遊びながらまた来たいねと家族で話すほど。
ハワイの強い日差しの中、素足でパーク内を歩くのはヤバかった。足の裏がやけどしてしまいそうだったので、次回行くときは、ビーチシューズみたいのを履いて歩きたいと思います。
それから、次回は営業時間いっぱいに遊びたいのでレンタカーを借りて行きたいな。
ランチバーベキューとあったけど、提供されたのはランチボックスに入った焼き肉弁当、サラダ、フルーツでした。こちらが食べ放題とのことだっったけど、そんなに食べられない・・・ただフルーツLOVEな子供たちはおかわりしてました。
From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!
Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.
On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!
3/17~3/21まで家族でHAWAIIに行きました。
メインイベントとしてイルカと泳ぐツア−を予約!
当日お天気はあまり良くなかったのに、しっかりイルカと
泳げたし(手の届くほど近くといいうワケではなかったけ れど…)エイも近くで見れたし、何よりカメラマンさんが
一生縣命イルカの側に連れて行ってくれようとしてくれて
有難かったです。
おまけに、日本時間と現地時間を間違えて参加日を一日間違 えてたにも関わらず、快く参加させてもらえ
ほんと 良いツア−でした!
Thanks to the very friendly staff, I was able to enjoy myself despite the unfortunate weather.
However, it was a bit disappointing as it was somewhat different from the image of a sandy beach. It is quite affected by the weather and the tides, so I might need to try a few times.
If I have the chance again, I would like to go back.
とても楽しいスタッフさんのおかげで、あいにくの天気でしたが、なんとか楽しむことができました。
ただ、サンドビーチのイメージとはちょっと違っていたのが残念でした。
天候と海の満ち引きの時間にかなり影響されるので、何度かチャレンジしないとかもしれません。
また機会があれば、行きたいです。
I immediately recognized the large bus marked "Wet n Wild." The driver was a foreigner, but the guide was Japanese, and I quickly received a wristband that served as my ticket before boarding the bus.
Inside the bus, there was a monitor, and I thought they would show videos of the park, but it only provided audio explanations. That was a bit disappointing. Since I had some free time, I looked at the pamphlet I received. The bus stopped at about five hotels and took about an hour to reach our destination. However, there was no explanation that the park opened at 10:30, so we arrived at 10:00 and ended up waiting in the blazing sun for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. (During that time, I applied sunscreen.)
Additionally, I heard from the guide that no food or drinks could be brought into the park, so I threw away two half-finished plastic bottles in the trash at the entrance. However, the guide who checked our bags only glanced at them briefly. (That felt a bit wasteful.)
The park was very large, but since there were children with us, the activities were somewhat limited. So, we mostly played (taking turns as a couple). There was a long slide suitable for kids, and there were water guns, and if you let your guard down, water would splash down on you, which was a lot of fun. We played together with other children.
For lunch, there was only one place to eat. Moreover, there was no Japanese menu, so we ordered by looking at pictures. I wasn't sure what the rolled item was, but it turned out to be slightly spicy potatoes. It was quite tasty. Just keep in mind that only cash is accepted, so it might be a good idea to bring a little extra.
Since my child is small, I needed towels and tissues for wiping noses, so I didn't leave my bag in a locker. I placed my belongings on a chair while we played, but there were staff members around, so nothing happened. In the lazy river, we borrowed floaties and swam together, and our belongings were safe.
For the return trip, we had to gather at the bus by 3:15, so the time really flew by. After eating and playing a bit, it was already 3:00. If you want to do more, you might need to manage your time carefully. Since you also need to account for the time to return to the hotel, it can't be helped, but I wish they would stay open a little longer (the park closes at 4:30).
The return bus had air conditioning, so...
ウエットアンドワイルドと書かれた大きなバスでピックアップすぐにわかりました。
ドライバーさんは外人さんでしたがガイドさんが日本人の方で、すぐにチケットとなるリストバンドを手首にしてバスに乗りました。
バスの中にはモニターがあって園内の映像でも流れるのかと思ったらただ音声での説明だけ。ちょっと残念。暇だったのでもらったパンフレットを見てました。
バスは5件くらいホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間くらいでつきました。
でもオープンが10時半からと説明もなかったので10時に着いてわけもわからず30分くらい炎天下で並んでいました。(その間に日焼け止めを塗りましたが)
また、園内には飲み物や食べ物は一切持ち込めないとガイドさんから聞いていたので、飲みかけのペットボトル2本を入口のゴミ箱に捨てました。でも見に来たのはさっきのガイドさんで、しかもさらっとしかバックを見なかったです。(ちょっともったいなかった)
園内はとても広かったですが子供もいたので遊べる物は限られていました。なのであまり他のことはしないで(夫婦交代交代で)遊びました。でも子供にしては長いすべり台もあるし水が出る鉄砲みたいなのはあるし、気を抜いていると貯まった水がジャーっとかかるしと、とっても楽しかったです。他の子供と一緒になって遊んでいました。
お昼は食べるところが1箇所しかないです。しかも日本語メニューはないので絵でみて注文しました。クルクルしたものがなんなのかわからなかったのですが、ちょっと辛いポテトでした。普通においしかったです。ただ全て現金しか使えないので少し多めに持って行った方がいいかも。
子供も小さいのでタオルや鼻水を拭くティッシュが必要だったのでバックはロッカーには預けませんでした。イスに荷物を置いて遊んでいましたがあちらこちらにスタッフがいるので何事もありませんでした。
流れるプールでは浮き輪を借りてみんなで泳ぎましたが荷物も無事でした。
帰りは3時15分にバスに集合だったので、ホントにあっという間です。ご飯を食べてちょっと遊んで着替えるとすぐに3時です。他にもあれこれ乗りたいなら時間配分が必要かも。ホテルに帰る時間も必要だからしょうがないけど、もう少し遅くまでやっていればなーと思います(園内は4時半で終わり)
帰りのバスはクーラーが効いているので
The space between the tables was narrow, making it difficult to eat comfortably. However, the taste was excellent, especially the pasta, which was exquisite.
テーブル間が狭くて、落ち着いて食べれなかった。しかし、味は最高で、特にパスタが絶品でした。
I participated with my elementary school son. He said it was the most fun he had on our trip to Hawaii (laughs).
小学生の息子と参加しました。
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったと息子は言ってました(笑)
By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.
I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii. I saw mother and baby whales a few times, but it was just for a moment. I enjoyed the scenery from the boat, and the breeze felt nice, so I'm glad I participated.
The inside of the boat was too cold due to the air conditioning. I wished I had brought a jacket.
ハワイに来て初めて船に乗りました。親子のクジラ何度か見えました。一瞬でした。船から景色も楽しめて風も気持ち良くて参加して良かったです。
船内はク−ラ−がききすぎて寒かったです。上着を持っていけば良かったなぁと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
During this season's cruise, we were able to see mother and baby whales quite often.
The sight of them swimming together is truly adorable.
We are very pleased that you were able to catch a glimpse of them, even for a moment.
Many restaurants and buses in Hawaii tend to be overly air-conditioned, so I think it would be a good idea to carry something to wear over your clothes.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
今シーズンのクルーズでは鯨の親子を良く見る事ができました。
親子で泳いでいる姿は本当に可愛いですよね。
お客様にもその姿を一瞬でもご覧いただけて、大変嬉しく思います。
ハワイのレストランやバスはとてもクーラーがききすぎている所が多いので、上に羽織るものを持ち歩くと良いと思います。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同、心よりお待ち申し上げております。

My daughter wanted to go snorkeling on her graduation trip with five friends, so we signed up. After returning home, her feedback was that everything was fantastic. The activities at the sandbar, the time management, and the meals were all plentiful and delicious. The captain who cooked for us was also a wonderful person, and the staff seemed very kind. They even got to see sea turtles, which was truly moving! Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and we would love to participate again the next time we visit Hawaii.
娘が友達5人での卒業旅行でシュノーケリングがしたいというので申し込みしました。帰国後の感想は、すべてに於いて最高のようでした。サンドバーでのアクティビティ、時間配分、食事もボリュウム満点でとても美味しく、調理してくれたキャプテンも素敵な方・・スタッフも親切だったようです。ウミガメにも本当に会えて感動!とにかく大満足で次回渡ハするときはまた参加したいですね。
Great trip. Enjoyed the catamaran trip to the sandbar followed by snorkeling and volleyball in the water; the burgers were great and snorkeling later with the turtles and fish was awesome! Highly recommended for anyone!
Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!
Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici
First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared
