I participated to enjoy the last day in Hawaii with attractions like the water slide. The coin lockers are expensive, costing $13 for medium and $18 for large. On the Ohana Highway, my 11-year-old almost got thrown off the float and was quite scared. The Kapolei Cooler was supposed to be a lazy river, but there was no current, so we had to paddle ourselves, and there were a lot of floating objects, so we stopped after one round. The Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool was somewhat decent. Waikiki Beach might have been better.

ウォータースライダーなどハワイ最終日を楽しむため参加しました。
コインロッカーはMが13$,Lが18$で高い。
オハナ・ハイウェーで11歳のうちの子は浮き輪から放り出されそうになり、ビビってました。
カポレイ・クーラーは流れるプールのはずであるが、流れが無く自分で漕がないといけない状態であり、浮遊物も多く1周でやめました。
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・ウェーブ・プールがまあまあ良かったかな。
ワイキキビーチの方が良かったかも知れません。

There are many wild dolphins closely, that's really amazing. However, if there is less people on the cruis that would be better. Overall, it is nice activity.

What an amazing pod of dolphins swimming beneath us! They are quite fast, but on this day, there were so many dolphins (^ -^) v It was truly moving ٩(^‿^)۶ Thanks to the captain's arrangements, we were able to see them again. This time, there was a baby dolphin! The baby was so excited and showed us lots of spins. Additionally, we were treated to the captain's ukulele and singing, which we rarely get to hear. It was so moving that I almost cried *\(^o^)/* Thank you to all the crew members *\(^o^)/*

すご〜いイルカの群れです私達の下を泳いでいきまーす。けっこう、速いけどこの日はイルカの数がたくさーん(^-^)v感動です٩(^‿^)۶キャプテンのはからいで、再び群の前に。今度は赤ちゃんがいました〜〜(^^)赤ちゃんは興奮してたくさんスピンを私達に見せてくれました。さらに、滅多に聞けないキャプテンのウクレレと歌。涙が出そうなくらいの感動です*\(^o^)/*クルーの皆さんありがとう*\(^o^)/*

You can only have this kind of experience here! While you might think you can touch dolphins or kiss them at some aquariums, the unique experiences waiting for you here include swimming with dolphins and getting to touch them for a long time. However, the waiting time after the dolphin touch was quite long.

こんな体験は、ここでしかできません！
某水族館でもイルカタッチやイルカにチューはできるかと思われますが、イルカと一緒に泳いだり、イルカに長い時間タッチさせてもらうなど、ここでしかできない体験が待っています。
ただイルカタッチが終わったあとの待ち時間が長く待たされました。

Early pickup in Waikiki and flight to Hilo on The Big Island. Well organised with your group being led easily through the whole day. Exciting helicopter flight over the lava and craters and plenty of info given throughout. Coach tour for rest of day to see the National Volcano Museum, plenty of stops at different sites including the walk through the old lava tube, walking on old lava, seeing craters and steam vents. Also stopped at macadamia nut factory and fuschia gardens. It's a long day but well worth it. We were picked up at 4.30am and didn't get back to Waikiki until 8.30pm.

I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.

酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く？と聞かれたら、ＮＯ、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、（日本人が多かったので）ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。（シェラトンまで戻らずにＤＦＳ前で降車できた）ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

My family and I have been to Hawaii several times, but have never been on a helicopter tour. I am so happy we chose to do this for the first time with Paradise Helicopters because it was a great time from start to finish. Initially, I was scared of flying in such a small aircraft, but our pilot Jay was so great and informative that my fears quickly disappeared and I was able to enjoy myself and see the island in a way that would be impossible from land. Additionally, there were complementary ginger chews and motion sickness bags in the helicopter which also helped make me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Hawaii in a fun and unique way!

Yesterday, my family and I had a blast on the Circle Island helicopter tour! All staff were extremely friendly and knowledgable, making us feel safe and at-ease despite it being all of our first times in a helicopter. Jay, our captain, took us around the whole island and had a wealth of information about each area we flew over. He also readily answered any questions we had throughout the tour. The whole experience was thorough, executed seamlessly, and will surely be a highlight of our vacation.
It was an excellent way to experience Oahu, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

We had the best time! Everything was perfect, of course the places we visited were outstanding, real nature´s beauty. And the staff of the boat was very kind and efficient. Great people!

I participated with my family and my 2-year-old nephew. I was nervous that there might be a height check since he was just barely 92 cm, but there was no check, and we were able to board without any issues.

The boat from the beach to the submarine sways quite a bit. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the submarine, and during that time, people who are prone to motion sickness felt quite nauseous on the swaying boat. Once we boarded the submarine, it was calm and steady once submerged.

Underwater, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see many fish. There were fish around the artificially sunk feeding area. I was a bit disappointed because the photos on the website looked too beautiful, and I had that image in mind. Additionally, inside the submarine, we only listened to explanations through headphones, and there was hardly any interaction from the crew, which was a bit disappointing. However, the elementary school-aged children seemed to enjoy it.

2歳の甥と家族で参加しました。身長が92cmギリギリだったので乗る前に検査でもあったらどうしようとドキドキしてましたが、特に検査もなく何も言われずに乗れました。
浜辺から潜水艦までの船が揺れます。また潜水艦を待ってる時間が10分くらいあり、その間も揺れる船上で待機のため酔いやすい人はかなり気持ち悪くなってました。潜水艦に乗船し、沈んでしまえば揺れもなく穏やかです。

沈むと海の中は濁っておりあまり魚が見えませんでした。人工的に沈められた餌場の周りには魚がいます。ホームページなどの写真が綺麗すぎるのでそのイメージでいたのでがっかりです。また、潜水艦の中はヘッドホンで説明を聞くだけで乗務員さんからの話はほとんど無いのでそれも少し残念です。小学生くらいの子供は楽しんでいました。

My first time at Wet 'n Wild.
I had reserved a cabana in advance, and I was worried about whether I could actually get it, but I was definitely able to borrow it.
Having a cabana was great because drinks and fruit were served, and it provided a relaxing base!
I also enjoyed the attractions.

初めてのウェット＆ワイルド。
カバナを事前予約 していたのですが、借りられるか不安でしたが、、確実に借りる事が出来ました。
カバナがあると飲み物や果物がサービスされ、落ち着ける拠点が出来て良かったです！
アトラクションも楽しめました。

I'm a returning visitor after three years, and it's enjoyable because there aren't as many strict rules like in Japan. My family and I can have fun doing various activities, like filming videos while riding the slides.

3年振りのリピーターですが、日本のように細かい決まり事が無くて楽です。家族でスライダーに乗りながら動画撮影など色々楽しめます。

The pool is filled with thrilling water slides, not suitable for small children or the elderly. However, kids in elementary school and above will absolutely love it. My children, who are in elementary and middle school, were thrilled and said they want to come back again! If you take the shuttle bus, you can line up right at the entrance, but if you go on your own, it costs $8 for parking, and then you have to wait in line to exchange tickets before entering. The park closes at 3:30 PM, but around 2:30 PM, when the bus passengers start getting ready to leave, it becomes much less crowded, and we could enjoy the slides to our heart's content.

The BBQ lunch was a buffet with hot dogs and salads, but it wasn't an actual BBQ. The variety wasn't extensive, and it wasn't particularly delicious, so I feel like we could skip it next time. However, if you don't get the BBQ lunch, you'll have to stand in a long line at the food counter, which is a bit of a dilemma.

絶叫系スライダーばかりのプール。小さな子供とお年寄り向きではありません。でも小学生以上なら大喜びです。小学生と中学生のうちの子たちは大喜びで、もう一回来たい！と言っていました。送迎バス付きだとすぐに入場門に並べるのに対し、自分たちで行くと、駐車場8ドルかかり、更にチケット交換に並んでから入場門。でも、3時半にクローズですが、バスの人達が一斉に帰り支度を始める2時半ごろから一気にすいて、スライダーやりたい放題でした。
BBQランチは、ホットドッグやサラダが並んでいるビュッフェ形式で、BBQするわけではありませんでした。種類が多いわけでもなく、すごくおいしいわけでもなく、次回はつけなくてもいいな…という感じです。ただ、BBQランチをつけないとフードカウンターで長蛇の列にならばなければならず、悩ましい所です。

I think it was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen!!!! I was so moved ♡ The staff were very kind and fun, and I really enjoyed myself!!! They took a lot of photos for us, and especially Yukiko, the Japanese staff member, was truly wonderful. I am very grateful! Thank you so much ♡

今まで見てきた海の中でダントツで1番綺麗だったと思います！！！！感動しました♡
スタッフの方々がとっても親切で楽しくて
楽しめました！！！
写真もたくさん撮っていただいたり、
特に日本人スタッフのゆきこさんが本当に素敵な人で
とても感謝したいです！
ありがとうございました♡

I was looking forward to the sandbar.

The staff were fun people, and the sandbar was very beautiful.

However, it was disappointing that it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined.

I had envisioned it during low tide...

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

I should have asked the staff what time the tide goes out or done more research.

Since I went on the morning course, I wonder if the tide would have been out if I had chosen the afternoon course.

Next time, I want to go when the tide is out.

But it was very beautiful, and I was truly moved!

楽しみにしていたサンドバー。

スタッフも楽しい方々でしたし、
サンドバーもとても綺麗でした。

ただイメージしていたサンドバーではなかったのが残念でした。

潮が引いているイメージでしたので・・・

自然の事なので、仕方がありませんが。

私も大体何時頃に潮が引くのかスタッフに聞くなり、
もっと調べておけば良かったです。

午前のコースだったので、
午後コースだったら、潮が引いていたのでしょうか。

次回は、潮が引いた時に行きたいと思います。

でもとても綺麗で感動しましたよ！

There were still few visitors, so there was no waiting time, and I was able to enjoy various attractions and slides, which made me very satisfied. There are many attractions available that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

まだ、入場者が少なく待ち時間もなく色々なアトラクションスライダーを利用でき満足できました。アトラクションも数多く用意されており老若男女楽しめます。

If you want to do something typical of Hawaii, I recommend this. There were many families with children, and the staff was considerate, making for a satisfying tour. The lunch consisted of hamburgers made with grilled meat on the boat. While it wasn't incredibly delicious, just eating on the boat was enjoyable. During the final snorkeling, I was lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful memory.

ハワイらしいことをしたいなら、オススメです。お子様連れも多く、スタッフの方も気遣ってくれて満足のいくツアーでした。ランチも船上で焼いたお肉でハンバーグで、すごい美味しいって訳では無いけれど、船上で食べてるってだけで楽しいです。最後のシュノーケリングではウミガメとも運よく一緒に泳ぐことができて素敵な思い出になりました。

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.

料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。
海側からワイキキを見るのはとても贅沢でゆっくりとすごせました。
前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
そんな景色もいいですね。

I participated because I wanted to see the sandbar and sea turtles! I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles up close, it was moving! The sandbar happened to be at high tide, so the water was up to my chest and it felt like just a regular sea. But the ocean is really beautiful!

目的はサンドバーとウミガメがみたくて参加しました！
ウミガメは沢山みれて大満足！船のすごく近いところでみれて感動しました！
サンドバーはたまたま満潮で胸付近まで水があって普通の海でした涙
でも海はとっても綺麗です！

It's enjoyable for both children and adults. Anyway, it was not crowded. Maybe it was just a good day to visit, but we could try the popular slides multiple times without much waiting. It feels like a nice large pool in the countryside (though some facilities are a bit aging). It's about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu. The food mainly consists of hamburgers, but the taste is okay. The kids were very happy. If I had to say something, it's not as spacious as I expected. Initially, I thought that the playtime from 10:30 to 15:00 might be short, but I think it's just the right amount of time. Towards the end, the adults did get a bit bored at times. Overall, it's good.

子供から大人まで楽しめますね。
とにかく空いてる。行った日が良かったのか、人気のスライダーも大して並ばずに何度も挑戦。
いい感じの田舎の大型プールって感じでしょうか？（設備が若干、老朽化気味）
ホノルルからも４０分程度。食事もハンバーガー中心ですが味もOK。
子供達が大喜びでした。
しいて言うと、思った以上に広くない。当初は１０：３０～１５：００までだと遊ぶ時間が短いかな？と思っていたが、ちょうど良い時間だと思います。
大人は最後の方は若干飽きる場面もありましたね。
全体ではgoodです。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great. From the bus ride, the staff provided detailed explanations about life jackets and safety points for the sea, which gave us a sense of security. As soon as we arrived at the port, we boarded a two-story boat. It had a restroom and was a splendid vessel. The fins and equipment were relatively new and clean. The captain took us to the right spot, and with the encouragement of the staff, we jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away in the distance, but on the second try, we encountered a wonderful pod and swam so close to the dolphins that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, losing track of time in the moment. We also danced hula together and during snorkeling time, we even saw turtles. It was a day of great satisfaction.

家族4人で参加しました。お天気は良好。行きのバスからスタッフの方が、ライフジャケットや海での注意点を細かく説明して下さり、安心感がありました。港に着いてすぐに2階建てのボートに乗りました。トイレもあり、立派な船でした。フィンや道具は新しめで綺麗でした。船長さんがここというポイントに連れて行って下さり、スタッフの方々の掛け声で海に飛び込みます。初めの一回は残念ながらイルカは遠くに泳いで行ってしまいましたが、2回目にすばらしい群れに会えて、イルカと手が届きそうな近さで泳ぎ時間を忘れるひと時でした。
フラダンスをみんなで踊ったり、シュノーケリングタイムには亀にも会えました。大満足の一日でした。

This was my second time participating in the OP with VERTRA. I had a good impression from the first time and it was a fun experience. This time, I participated with my family: my husband and daughter. My daughter has disabilities in her hands and feet, so she cannot swim. She has never been to a pool or the ocean with friends. However, we had been to Hawaii several times, and I always wanted her to experience snorkeling or participating in ocean activities someday. This time, I decided to take the plunge, and I was able to see my daughter’s happy face. Although it was just for a short time, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. This was all thanks to the staff of Heavenly Ocean Tours, especially Yuki, who encouraged us by saying, "I'll assist you, let's go together," which I truly appreciated. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful OP. I definitely want to participate again.

VERTRAさんのOPは、２回目の参加です。１回目も悪い印象はなく、楽しい思いでです。
今回は、家族３人での参加でした。夫婦、娘です。娘が手と足に、障害があり泳ぐことができません。友達とプール、海なども行ったこともないです。でも、ハワイには、何度か来ていたので、いつか、シュノーケリングや海でのOPに参加させて、あげたいと思っていました。今回、思い切って、参加して娘の喜ぶ顔も、見れたしシュノーケリングも少しの時間でしたが、楽しむことが、できました。それも、ひとえに、天国海ツアーのスタッフ・・特に、YUKIさんが、補助しますから、一緒に行きましょうと、声をかけて下さり、本当に、ありがたかったです・・感謝です。本当にありがとうございました・・・とっても、素敵なOPでした。
また、必ず、参加したいです。

I participated two years ago and it was so great that I joined again. Naturally, the staff, the boat, and the menu were all exactly the same. However, I felt that the snorkeling time was extremely short. It was like, "Wait, is it already over?!" Unfortunately, there were no fish at all. The coral reef might have fewer fish now. So, if snorkeling is your main focus, it might be a bit disappointing. The staff's service is excellent. The hamburger was just as delicious as last time.

２年前に参加。非常によかったのでまた参加してきました。
当然ですがスタッフの顔ぶれも船もメニューも全く同じ。
ですが、シュノーケリングの時間が極端に短かったように思います。
「え、もう終わり？！」という感じ。
また残念ながら魚が全くいなかった。
もうあのサンゴ礁には魚が少なくなっているのかもしれませんね。
なのでシュノーケリングをメインにするとちょっと残念な感じになるかもしれません。
スタッフの対応は最高です。
ハンバーガーも前回同様おいしかったです。

Our experience from start to finish was exceptional! The shuttle ride started with a wonderful ride from Emanual- she was friendly and conversational, making our time feel like it was spent with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the Island and told us interesting things. She suggested we rent a car and we did- the next day! Thanks Em so worth it! On the boat Em and Captain Jenna were wonderful. Our teenager got a little sick but they didn't give up on her, with their words of encouragement and support we set sail. Our 8 year old was afraid and because of you two ladies she got in and snorkeled with an 80year old turltle. Words can express that magic of that experience! We are eagerly anticipating the pictures photographer Paul took. Your attention to detail and obvious dedication to your craft is remarkable. Thank you team dolphin excursion for loving what you do and sharing that with my family. Mahalo!

On the cruise, I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles swimming. Since my child is small, we couldn't use the stroller, but I would definitely like to visit again when they are old enough to ride.

クルージングでは、マンタやウミガメが泳いでいるのを
見ることができました。
子供が小さいのでバギーには乗れませんでしたので、乗れるような歳になれば
またぜひ遊びに行きたいです。

We rented a car during our trip and stayed at the Kahala Hotel, which was not included in the shuttle service, so we went on our own. The parking fee was $8, and we could pay by card. For entry, the VELTRA guide only mentioned meeting at the entrance, but it was smooth when we presented the voucher at the counter. There was a baggage check at the entrance, and it seems that food other than fruits is not allowed.

Inside, there were multiple slides, and it was compact and easy to navigate. However, since the operating hours were until 3:30 PM on that day, there were some attractions we couldn't do. I think it's a great place for families with small children. However, the food counter gets really crowded.

旅行期間中レンタカーを借りていたのと、カハラホテルに滞在していて送迎対象外だったので自分達で行きました。駐車場は$8。カードで払えました。入場は、VELTRAの案内では入口集合としか記載なく、窓口にバウチャーを提示したら、スムーズでした。入口では手荷物検査があり、フルーツ以外の食べ物は取上げの様です。
中はスライダーがいくつもあり、コンパクトでまわりやすかったです。ただ、営業時間が15:30迄の日だったので、できないアトラクションもありました。
小さな子供連れには良いところだと思います。
ただ、フードカウンターはめっちゃ混みます。

I was able to relax on the bus both ways, and the entry was smooth, allowing me to enjoy without any waste. I would like to go again next time.

行き帰りともバスでノンビリできましたし、スムーズに入場もできて、むだなく楽しめました。また今度も行きたいです。

I was very disappointed with the restaurant; it was quite poor. Moreover, there was only that one place, leaving no options. If they want to cater to Japanese tourists, they need to improve the food, or else the tour guests will leave. I don't think I will go there again.

レストランがあまりにも貧弱でがっかりでした。さかも、そこ一軒しかなく選択の余地なし。もう少し日本人相手にツアーを組むなら食事を良くしておかないと、ツアー客は逃げて行くと思いました。自分は、あそこは二度と行かないと思います。

I found the hotel pool a bit lacking, so I decided to check this one out, and I was very satisfied. My child is small, so we couldn't use the water slides, but it looked like a lot of fun and was really crowded. I definitely plan to try it next time. The wave pool was quite intense; even adults could easily find themselves in trouble if they weren't careful. We rented a cabana, and although it was pricey, it provided a place to store our belongings and relax comfortably. However, the rental float that came with it was quickly used by others, so you need to be cautious about that.

ホテルのプールでは物足りなかったので行って見ましたが、大満足です。子供が小さくウォータースライダー系は出来ませんでしたが、とても楽しそうですごく混んでました。次行った時は絶対やろうと思います。波の出るプールは油断すると大人でも溺れそうなくらいでした。カバナを借りたのですが、値段は高いものの荷物置き場や座る場所が確保出来たので十分にリラックス出来ました。付いてきたレンタルの浮き輪がすぐ他の人に使われたので、注意が必要です。

I was worried if it would be okay since the kids are small, but the staff were all kind, and it seems the kids enjoyed themselves. It was also great that we could experience snorkeling and sea kayaking at spots where we could see not only dolphins but also fish and turtles. Everyone in my family saw the dolphins except for me σ(^_^;) I saw a lot of dorsal fins from a large group of dolphins σ(^_^;)

子供達が小さいので大丈夫かなぁ〜、、と心配でしたがスタッフの皆さんも親切で子供達も楽しめた様です。イルカを見るだけでなく魚や亀が見えるスポットでもシュノーケリングやシーカヤックなどの体験が出来たのもとても良かったです。 イルカは私以外の家族は全員見ましたσ(^_^;) 私はイルカの大群の背ビレを沢山見ましたσ(^_^;)
