3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Good experience, but not amazing snorkeling

Reviewed by: User038575

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.

It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

Good Show, Decent Food

Reviewed by: J Johnson

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

Taormina Sicilian Cuisine on Waikiki Beach Walk

Superb Italian Cuisine!

Reviewed by: Rosie Posie

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!

Ciao Baby!

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

I had an amazing time! 最高に楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: シャーファミリー

We played a lot from 10:30 AM until closing time in the evening with the kids. I think the family lockers are sufficient.

Starting around noon, the attractions gradually get crowded, so I recommend conquering the slides first thing in the morning! Also, you might be tempted to take off your sandals and go up to the top of the slide, but the concrete gets extremely hot, and it can burn the soles of your feet, so it's fine to keep your sandals on. (Everyone either held them or slid down while wearing them.)

By early afternoon, it starts to get really crowded, and there can be lines for the attractions. We took that opportunity to have lunch and take a little break. When it was crowded, we played in the lazy river right next to the entrance.

Overall, I didn't get the impression that it was extremely spacious, but on the contrary, I enjoyed not having to walk around too much. I would love for them to spend the whole day playing!

By the way, my child is 13 years old, and this age was just right for the thrill of the slides. There are quite a few that younger kids might not be able to handle, as they are pretty thrilling (maybe too much?).

子供と一緒に、朝の10時半から夕方の閉園までたっぷり遊びました。ロッカーはファミリー用のもので十分だと思います。

昼頃から徐々にアトラクションが混雑していくので、まずは朝イチで続々と滑り台を制覇していくのがオススメ！　また、ついサンダルを脱いで滑り台のてっぺんまで行ってしまいそうになりますが、コンクリがものすごく熱くなって足の裏がやけどしそうになってしまうので、サンダルは履いたままでOKです。（皆さん手に持ってか、履いたまま滑っていました）

昼過ぎになると、一気に混み始めてアトラクションも行列ができたりします。うちは、そのタイミングでお昼を食べてちょっと休憩しました。また、混んでいるときは、入口からすぐ横にある流れるプールで遊んでいました。

全体的に、ものすごく広い！という印象は受けませんでしたが、逆にいろいろ歩き回らなくてよかったので楽しめました。一日たっぷり使って遊んでもらいたいです！

ちなみにうちは子供が13歳ですが、滑り台の怖さ的には一番ぴったりの年頃でした。小さいお子さんはできないような、スリリング（すぎる？）のがけっこうあります。

It took just under an hour to arrive by shared microbus with various travel companies. There were many thrilling rides to enjoy. It might be nice to have some more standard swimming pools in addition to the drop rides. It felt like there was a bit of downtime for a one-day visit. It's not bad, but it might not be worth going out of your way for a short trip.

いろいろな旅行会社の方と乗り合いでマイクロバスで集合から1時間弱で到着。スリルがある乗り物が多く楽しめました。落下系だけではなく、もうちょっと普通に泳げるプールなどもあると良いかも。一日だと少し時間をもてあます印象でした。悪くはないけど、短い旅行日程でわざわざ行かなくても良いかもしれません。

I think it would be better to reduce the number of people. 人数を減らした方がいいと思います。

Reviewed by: なみな

I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing tour given my expectations. Since we traveled by large bus, even with a 7 AM meeting time, we wasted an hour picking up people in Waikiki (which happens with other tours as well). After arriving, we landed on a narrow sandbar packed with people on two cruisers. Snorkeling felt like a chaotic trial start, bumping into each other while trying to peek into the water. I think the actual time spent on the sandbar and snorkeling was about 30 minutes total. It was just so rushed. Since it’s such a special place, I wish the tour had fewer participants.

とても楽しみにしていたのですが、期待してた分、残念なツアーでした。大型バスで行くため、７時に集合でも１時間はワイキキピックアップで時間が潰れ（これは他でもありますが）、到着後、２台のクルーザーで細いサンドバーにぎゅうぎゅうに上陸笑。シュノーケルも一列でトライアルロンのスタートの様にぶつかりながら軽く海の中をのぞく感じ。実際のサンドバーとシュノーケルは足して３０分程度だった気がします。とにかく慌ただしいです。せっかくの特別な場所なので、もっと人数を減らしたツアーだったら良かったなと思いました。

Reviewed by: JMDZ

Firstly, the bus was very very very very late. Not fun when you have a bunch of know-it-all tourists waiting to get someplace. We ended up driving ourselves, even though we had paid for transportation there and back.

Secondly, the food was average, at best. The pasta salad was bland, the macaroni salad too mayonnaisey, the fried chicken was old and you could taste the freezer-burn, the desserts were average and dry and the drinks weren't strong enough. The only reason we are rating this "average", rather than Bad, is because the view/scenery was spectacular!

Never again!

First Whale 初クジラ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Last May, when I went to Hawaii, I went on a dolphin tour, and this time I decided to go see whales. I went this year. The boat was large, and I didn't feel seasick, so it was comfortable. We were able to see whales off the coast of Waikiki. We caught glimpses of their backs a few times. Unfortunately, we didn't see any jumps or big tails, but I was moved by my first encounter with whales. If I get the chance again, I would like to challenge myself to go in the middle of winter.

昨年5月にハワイに行った時イルカのツアーに行って次はクジラを見に行こうということで今年行ってきました。船は大きくて船酔いもなく快適。ワイキキ沖でクジラを見ることができました。背中の一部が数回。流石にジャンプとか大きな尻尾は見ることはできませんでしたが、初めてのクジラ遭遇には感動しました。また機会があれば、真冬にチャレンジしたいと思います。

Reviewed by: funa

Fortunately, the weather was nice (though the wind was really strong), and we were able to see a few whales. However, it was indeed difficult to capture them with my iPhone. In the photos, they appear distant, but in reality, they were a bit closer. Filming was also challenging because it was hard to predict where the whales would appear. I missed several opportunities to actually see them because I was so focused on filming. At first, there were announcements indicating the direction to look, but by the time we were heading back, there were no announcements. Just before we arrived, we spotted a whale near the shore, but it's unclear how many people noticed it. There were free activities like lei-making and ukulele lessons on the first floor of the boat, so most people participated. My sister and I didn't join and were on the second or third floor, just gazing out at the sea. I think it was mentioned that the Star of Honolulu tends to sway, but I didn't get seasick. Since the meal wasn't included, we freely ate what we had bought at the supermarket. To be honest, I wished I could have seen more whales jumping out of the water. Lastly, I believe the shuttle service would have cost an extra $12, so we took The Bus number 19 to the event location. On the way back, there was a bus stop very close by, so we were able to return smoothly. (The return bus also had signs indicating stops at Ala Moana Center and Waikiki Beach.)

幸い天気にも恵まれ（風は凄く強かったが）クジラも少しみれた。ただiPhoneで撮影するのはやはり難しい。写真で見ると離れて見えるが実際はもう少し距離が近かった。ビデオ撮影もどこから出現してくるかわからないので、撮影が厳しかった。また撮影に夢中で実際に目でみる機会を何度か失ってしまった。始めのうちはアナウンスで何時の方向に見えると教えてくれるが、帰る頃はアナウンスがない。到着間際に岸の近くにクジラを発見した。ただ気づいた人がどれだけいるかは不明。無料でレイ作りやウクレレなど船の1Fで開催していたので、大抵の人たちが参加していた。私たち姉妹は参加せず2Fだったか3Fだったか?!にいて、海をぼーっと眺めていた。スターオブホノルル号は揺れやすいと掲載されていた気がするが、船酔いもしなかった。食事付きでなかったので、スーパーで買って来た物を自由に食べていた。欲を言えばもっとクジラが海の上に飛び跳ねてる姿を見たかったのが本音です。最後に送迎付きだとプラス$12くらいするはずだったので、ザ・バスの19番に乗って開催場所まで行った。帰りもすぐ近くにバス亭があるので、スムーズに帰れた。（帰りのバスもアラモアナセンターやワイキキビーチ行きとバスに表示が出ていたはず）
