It was a bit cold due to the wind and occasional rain. However, I encountered many fish while snorkeling and was able to kayak skillfully, creating great memories with my wife. The staff was very attentive and provided friendly advice, making it a wonderful day. Thank you! 😊

The weather was nice, the tide was about knee-high, and the white sand was clearly visible, making for the best conditions to move around. Despite the large number of participants, the staff managed everything wonderfully and kept a watchful eye, allowing us to relax. We saw many sea turtles from the boat in the turtle zone, and at a different snorkeling point from the sandbar, we encountered a variety of fish. They checked in on us multiple times here as well, which was reassuring. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious. While this tour is a bit more expensive than others, the content is different, and considering the satisfaction, it can be said that the cost-performance is good. I recommend this tour to anyone who is undecided.
天気も良く、潮の高さも膝くらいで白砂もよく見えて動きやすく最高のコンディションでした。参加人数が多かったのに、スタッフは見事にさばき、目を配っていただいて安心して過ごせました。海亀ゾーンでは船上からたくさん見れましたし、サンドバーとは別のシュノーケルポイントではたくさんの種類の魚が見れました。ここでも何度も声掛けしてくださって、安心できました。お昼のハンバーガーも美味でした。他ツアーより割高なのは内容が違うからで、満足感を考えるとコスパがいいと言えます。迷っている方がいればこちらをお勧めします。
I think it's good to have a rash guard depending on the season. After getting out of the water, I recommend drying off well and putting on a dry towel or clothes.
季節によってはラッシュガードがあるといいと思います。水から上がったらよく水分を拭き、乾いたタオル、服などを着ることをお勧めします。

Lanikai is certainly beautiful, but when it comes to beach snorkeling, the Palau Pacific Resort is definitely superior. You can't expect much in terms of fish variety or density. However, you might encounter turtles. We also saw a turtle over 80 cm long. (Unfortunately, I forgot to turn on the camera, so I don't have a photo, but it was the largest one I've ever seen.)

I also requested a shuttle service, and the pickup was smooth, allowing us to arrive early.
My child was too scared to ride, but I was really happy to experience the slider that is scheduled to open this weekend a bit early.
Since it was a weekday, the place was generally quiet, and we had plenty of beach beds available. My child wanted to ride the slider but couldn't due to height restrictions, so I think it's best to do some research in advance. There are various types of sliders to enjoy, so I recommend it for those who love thrilling rides.
The lazy river was closed, but the wave pool had waves coming regularly, so we were able to enjoy it.
The staff provided a tour of the facilities in Japanese, which made it very easy to understand.
送迎もお願いしたのですが、ピックアップもスムーズで早めに到着することができました。
子どもは怖がって乗れなかったのですが、今週末オープン予定のスライダーをひと足先に体験することができてすごくうれしかったです。
平日だったので全体的に空いていて、ビーチベッドも十分使えました。
子供が乗りたかったスライダーが身長が足りず乗れなかったので、事前リサーチしておいた方がいいかと思います。
いろんな種類のスライダーを楽しめるので、絶叫系が好きな方におすすめです。
流れるプールはクローズでしたが、波のプールは定期的に波が来ていたので、楽しむことができました。

It was amazing. This is my 10th time coming to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, and it’s always so much fun. Some people might wonder why come to Hawaii just to go to a pool, but it really is the best. This time, we even had a guide.
According to the guide, there’s a new attraction that will open in three days, and we might be able to ride it. I was curious, and when we went to check, the staff asked if we wanted to ride, and I said YES! It was incredibly scary and completely different from the other existing attractions. I thought I never wanted to ride it again, but the young girls were thrilled and rode it multiple times. I think it will become very popular starting tomorrow.
最高でした。
ウエッタンワイルドハワイに来るのは、今回で10回目ですが、いつきても最高に楽しいです。ハワイに来てプール?というひともいますが、やはり、最高です。特に今回は、ガイドさんもつきました。

どうかな、と思いながら、いってみたら、乗る?とスタッフにきかれ、YES!といい、乗ることが出来ました。めちゃくちゃこわくて、ほかの既存のアトラクションとは全然違いました。怖くて、わたしは、二度と乗りたくないとおもいましたが、若い娘は、喜んで何回も乗っていました。次回から、だ明日人気になるとおもいます。
Definitely try the new attraction. It's scary, but...

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!

There are three slides for small children, but one has been closed for some reason for a week. The other one is for one person, so my child was too scared to ride it alone, and the last one was closed when we went. I thought it wasn't operating, but I was informed by a staff member just before closing time that it would open at 2 PM, even though it was supposed to be open until 3 PM. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it in time, and my child ended up crying because we were looking forward to it but couldn't ride any of them. I also saw other children who couldn't ride and were crying while their mothers were comforting them. We have a reservation to go again during our stay, but since it's within a week, I don't think we'll be able to ride them. If the schedule could be communicated on the website in advance, it would help us bring our child after explaining the situation, minimizing disappointment. Given the high expectations, I think the shock of this situation is significant for children. 😢 Lunch took a long time to be served unless you lined up early. Even though there were few visitors the other day, it still took a long time for some reason. 😥
小さい子ども用のスライダーが3つ有るのですが1つがなぜか1週間閉鎖との事。他の1つは1人用なので1人では怖がって乗れず、もう1つは行った際には閉鎖していたのでやっていないかと思っていたら3時までの営業なのに、なぜか2時まで閉鎖していて2時からオープンしていたと閉園時間の直前にスタッフの方から教えて頂いたのですが結局間に合わず楽しみにしていたのにどれも乗れずじまいで子供が泣いちゃいました。よそのお子さんもやっぱり乗れなくて泣いていてお母さんがなだめているのを見かけました。滞在中にもう一度行く予定で予約していますが1週間以内なのでおそらく乗れないと思います。事前にその辺のスケジュールをホームページでお知らせ頂ければ子供を納得させた上で連れて行けるのでガッカリも最小限に抑える事が出来るのになと思いました。楽しみが大きい分、その辺のショックは子供にとっては大きいと思いました😢ランチは早めに並ばないと提供にメチャクチヤ時間がかかりました。先日も来園者は少なかったのになんでかとにかく時間がかかりました。😥

First of all, the water slide was more thrilling than I expected, and it was a lot of fun. The grounds were also very spacious, which gave a sense of openness. After arriving, the Japanese staff kindly explained various things, so I felt reassured and was able to participate without any worries. The all-you-can-drink option was also great, as there were plenty of varieties, including water, making it easy to enjoy.
One downside was that the lazy river and some of the water slides were out of service, so the two adults ended up having a bit of extra time on their hands.

敷地も非常に広いので、開放感がありました。

残念だった点としては、流れるプールや一部ウォータースライダーが運休していたので、大人2人では少し時間を持て余してしまいました。
If you're planning to use the water slide, it might be a good idea to have goggles.

The service and explanations provided by all the staff were excellent, as they spoke with each customer individually to understand their needs and desires until we disembarked. It was very reassuring to have a Japanese female staff member who could communicate in Japanese. The lunch burgers and drinks were good! After that, the sea turtle watching was well-timed and satisfying! Unfortunately, the snorkeling included with the coral reef watching was affected by sudden rain, bad weather, and cold temperatures, but there was still plenty of time for watching, and the hot drinks provided on board afterward were great. I was initially worried about language barriers with the multinational group on the small boat, but all the staff made it enjoyable! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

I didn't understand English, but a very kind Japanese person taught me throughout, allowing me to enjoy without any difficulties. The pool in Japan had views I had never seen before and numerous thrilling water slides, making it a lot of fun for us who love adrenaline-pumping rides. There are also some slightly scary slides, but there are gentle ones as well, so I thought it would be easy to give them a try.

風も強めで、4月はビーチで肌寒く感じました。長袖パーカーがあると役に立ちます。

I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!
泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです!
You might want to lower your expectations for Honu.
ホヌは期待しない方が良いのでは⁈

One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, and proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.
Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.
Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.
Aloha Marjie,
Mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience from start to finish, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful arrival details for future guests. It’s fantastic to hear that both Dexter and David (aka “Chewy”) made such a lasting impression with their knowledge, kindness, and genuine aloha spirit. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them—they’ll be thrilled!
We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and special stop at Big Island Candies, and we agree—good footwear is a must for Big Island’s diverse terrain. Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure; we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian journey and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana

Bus driver was really safe as well as friendly. We had more than enough time to explore the park and got some extra Waikiki history, all was well!
