All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We spent a long time chasing dolphins by boat, so we didn't have enough time to experience SUP or kayaking, but we had fun encountering both dolphins and turtles. A person I met in Hawaii said they participated a week ago and spent two hours searching for dolphins in huge waves, which caused everyone to return, creating a hellish scene, so I think we were lucky.

ボートでイルカを追いかける時間が長かったためＳＵＰやカヤック体験する時間が不足して出来ませんでしたがイルカにも亀にも出会え楽しかったです。ハワイで知り合った方が1週間前に参加したが凄い波の中イルカを2時間も探したせいでみんな戻して地獄絵図だったと言っていたのでラッキーだったと思います。

I borrowed a wet suit for $10, but it was still cold after getting out, so long sleeves and one towel per person are essential. However, I was able to see over 20 dolphins, which made for a fun memory!!!

ウエット$10借りましたがそれでも上がってから寒いので長袖・各自１枚タオル必須です。
しかし２０匹以上のイルカを見ることができ楽しい思い出となりました！！！

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins. An hour before the meeting time, the hotel staff gave us a morning call, confirmed the pickup time and location, and provided explanations, which was very helpful for us since we are not morning people.

The bus that picked us up had a monitor that explained the rules to follow when meeting wild dolphins and how to wear life jackets, allowing us to join the tour without any anxiety. Once we arrived at the port, we used the restroom and boarded the boat to set off!

Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a photographer, and a lifeguard, all of whom were cheerful and played music, dancing with us. We had a great time without feeling seasick while heading to the dolphin spot. However, for those participating in the winter early morning tour, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit due to the cold wind and water temperature.

When we anchored at the dolphin spot, it was finally time to enter the sea! Guided by the crew, when I looked down, I saw a large group of dolphins swimming gracefully within reach. I was so moved when they came right beneath us that I got goosebumps! They came close to us about four times, and I was healed by the sight of the baby dolphins and their squeaky sounds.

Later, while we were heading to the next snorkeling spot, we encountered a pod of whales! We were lucky to see them blowing water and raising their tails just 50 meters away. When we arrived at the next spot and went snorkeling, we were able to see a mother and baby sea turtle swimming on a large rock. They were so cute, and as I watched them from above, time flew by. There were also kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a slide from the boat available, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

When we returned to the boat, the captain was grilling hamburgers for us, and having lunch surrounded by the great nature of mountains and the sea was incredibly delicious. On the way back to the port, they even played the ukulele and performed hula dancing, and the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a fantastic experience!

念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
集合時間の1時間前にホテルにモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認など事前に説明して下さり、朝が苦手な私達にとってはとても助かりました。
迎えに来たバスにはモニターがついていて、野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない事や、ライフジャケットの着方について説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着くと、トイレを済ませて船に乗り込み出発！
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、カメラマン、ライフセーバーがいたのですが、とにかく陽気で音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカのスポットに行くまでの間、船酔いすることなく楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ冬の早朝便で参加される方は風も水温も冷たいため、ウェットスーツをレンタルした方がいいかもです。
イルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ海へ！
クルーに案内されて下を見てみると、イルカの大群が手の届きそうなところで優雅に泳いでいて、私たちの真下にきてくれた時は鳥肌がたつくらい感動しました！その後も4回くらい近くへ来てくれて、子供のイルカやキューキューという鳴き声に癒されました。
その後、次のシュノーケリングスポットへ船を走らせていると、なんとクジラの群れに遭遇！潮を吹いて、尾ひれを上げている様子がすぐ50M先で見ることができてラッキーでした！
次のスポットへ到着してシュノーケリングをしていると、大きな岩の上で泳いでいるウミガメの親子を見ることができました。とてもかわいくてボーッと上の方から眺めているとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいましたが、他にもカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台など用意されていて、みなさんそれぞれ楽しんでいるようでした。
船に戻るとキャプテンがハンバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、大自然の山と海に囲まれながら食べるはランチは最高においしかったです。
港に帰る船上でもウクレレを持ってフラダンスしてくれたり、親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さって本当に楽しかったです！！

In January, I participated in a tour with my fourth-grade child. Most of the participants were Japanese.

First, after arriving at the port and before boarding the boat, we had to put on fins and wetsuits. If the sizes don’t fit on the first try, it can get hectic, so I recommend acting quickly, including using the restroom after getting off the bus.

Shortly after departure, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which was exciting. However, since the pod was large and scattered, it was difficult to see, so we spent some time looking for another group of dolphins. It took a while, but I appreciated the cheerful performance by the staff, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Finally, we found a pod! After a brief explanation of snorkeling, we, as first-timers, cautiously entered the water. For a while, we were just trying to get used to the water, but we were able to see the dolphins three times. It was a strange yet moving experience to see wild dolphins swimming right in front of me in the deep sea!

After swimming with the dolphins, we moved to a different location for free time and activities. Snorkeling in an area with many tropical fish was also very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. Due to our fatigue from snorkeling and the chilly January weather, we couldn’t fully enjoy our free time, but I think if the timing was better and we had more experience and stamina, we could have had even more fun.

Overall, I felt the staff's desire to create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied because I was able to have the experiences I had hoped for!

１月に小４の子連れでツアーに参加しました。参加者はほぼ日本人でした。
まず港に着いてから船に乗るまでの間に足ヒレやウェットスーツを着用するのですが、１回でサイズが合わないと慌ただしくなってしまうので、下車後はトイレを含め素早い行動をお勧めします。
出港まもなくイルカの群れを発見して期待に胸が高鳴ります。しかし群れが大きい（まとまりがなくて見にくい）とのことで、しばらく他のイルカの群れを探すことに。探すのに時間はかかりましたが、スタッフの陽気なパフォーマンスで待ち時間を楽しく過ごすことができて感謝でした。
そして、ついに群れを発見！簡単にシュノーケリングの説明を受け、シュノーケリング初体験の我々は恐る恐る入水。しばらくは水に慣れるのに精いっぱいという状態でしたが、計３回の群れを見ることができました。かなり深い海に浮かんでいる自分の目の前を、野生のイルカの群れが泳いでいくというのは、不思議な感覚というか、やはり感動しました！
イルカと泳いだ後は、場所を変えてアクティビティ等の自由時間です。熱帯魚の多い場所で、ここでのシュノーケリングも非常に楽しかったです。運よくウミガメも見ることができました。我々は初体験のシュノーケリングによる疲れと、１月で肌寒かったこともあって、自由時間を十分満喫できたとは言えませんが、時期が良くて経験と体力があれば、もっと楽しめたと思います。
全体を通してスタッフの「ハワイで良い想い出を」という気持ちが伝わり、実際に期待していた経験ができたので、非常に満足でした！

I chose a movie location tour and a private beach. The movie location tour was led by a Japanese driver and guide, who was very interesting and enjoyable to talk to. I was surprised to learn that a lot of filming took place at this ranch, more than I expected. I plan to watch the movies he introduced to me. I enjoyed the magnificent nature that is not commonly seen in Japan.

The lunch (buffet) was quite good! My husband and kids had plenty of pineapple. We ate at various places during our trip, but the food here was quite delicious (it was perfectly ripe).

After lunch, we went to the private beach, but everything was in English!

When I used the service, I think about 30% of the guests were Japanese, but after arriving, the information regarding the meeting time, important notes for use, and the locations of changing rooms and restrooms were all in English. My husband and I strained to listen and tried to understand, but it wasn't presented in a way that was easy for Japanese people to follow, so we could only catch a few words.

In the end, I didn't understand the meeting time, so I just observed the surroundings... (It got hectic, and we ended up being last). I understood the rest through a mix of a few words and gestures, but since it was important information, I wish they had at least posted a printed sheet somewhere.

I had high expectations for the beach, but the water clarity was almost nonexistent, and I couldn't find any fish. (Were there any?)

There were quite a few rocks for a beach, and when I fell while stand-up paddling, all of my family ended up injuring their feet. However, I think it would cost around $30 to use it on the beach, so it was good to try it for free here.

I love beaches and have been to many, but this one was a bit disappointing. The free rentals were nice, though, as they had various options (including kayaks).

When we returned from the beach, there was no time to check out the souvenir shop, and we had to take the bus back immediately. If you're planning to buy souvenirs, I think it would be good to go during lunch. There were various items that were different from those in Waikiki, so I regret not being able to see them.

映画ロケ地めぐりと、プライベートビーチを選択しました。
映画ロケ地めぐりは、日本人のドライバー兼ガイドさんで、
お話すごく面白くてとても良かったです（＾＾）
思った以上にこの牧場で沢山の撮影がされていてびっくり。
紹介してもらった映画、見てみようと思ってます。
日本では見慣れない雄大な自然が楽しめました。

昼食（バイキング）はふつうにおいしかったです！
旦那と子供達はパイナップル沢山おかわりしていました。
旅行中いろいろなところで食べましたが、ここのはかなり美味しかったです。
（いい感じに熟してました）

昼食後はプライベートビーチでしたがなんと全部英語でした！！

私が利用したときは３割ぐらいは日本人が居たと思うのですが
ついてからの
・集合時間
・利用にあたっての注意事項
・着替え室やトイレの場所
も全部英語です。
夫婦で耳を必死に立てて、なんとか聞き取ろうとしましたが
いわゆる日本人に分かりやすくゆっくりお話しされてる感じではなかったので
単語ちょっと拾えるぐらいでした；；

集合時間結局分からなかったのでなんとなくまわりの様子を見て…
（慌ただしくなっちゃってギリギリ最後になっちゃいました）
他は、なんとなくの単語とジェスチャーで理解しましたが、
大事な事なのでせめて、プリント1枚どこかに貼っておいて欲しかったです。

ビーチは、期待してたんですが透明度はほぼ無く魚は見つけられませんでした。
（いたのかな？）

ビーチの割に岩が多くて、
スタンドアップバドルで転んだ時に、家族全員足をけがしてしまいました（；；）
でも、ビーチで利用すると30ドルぐらいはかかると思うので、ここで無料で試せて良かったです。

ビーチが好きで、あちこち行ってるのですがビーチ自体は微妙かな？
無料レンタル自体は色々あって良かったです。（カヤックとかもあったし）

ビーチから戻ったら、お土産屋さん見る時間無くすぐ帰るバスでした；
お土産買おうと思ってる方は、お昼ごはんのときに行かれると良いと思います。
ワイキキとは違ったもの色々あったので、見たかったなー残念。

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.

屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、２Ｆフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が２時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。

I will be boarding the Star of Honolulu, which I've always admired! It's a very beautiful and large ship, and the restrooms are really clean and comfortable.

I opted for the buffet, and I heard that on the day of the cruise, you can add an extra person for $12 for more food. The buffet was very delicious, and I went back for seconds on the sausages! The drink options are plentiful, and you can buy tasty alcoholic beverages if you're willing to spend a little more.

I'm the type to get seasick, and I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication, so I was a bit anxious. However, the ship is large, so it didn't sway much, and I had no problems at all.

The only disappointing thing was that we didn't see any whales. I was excited to join because it was said that there was a high chance of seeing them, but we didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins—nothing at all. We just ended up staring at the horizon for the entire time.

For those who didn't see anything, there is a free return ticket for the next time, but it seems that it’s only valid for this season and must be used by April of this year. Also, it doesn't include hotel pick-up or the buffet.

Since I only go to Hawaii about once a year, I can't use such a short-term ticket! Moreover, the explanations were given in English, so we, who only understand Japanese, were confused about where to collect the tickets. It seemed that many people returned home without receiving their tickets.

I think it would be helpful if there were a few more staff members who could speak Japanese.

憧れのスターオブホノルル号に乗車します(^ ^)とっても綺麗な大きい船でトイレもすごく綺麗で快適です^ ^

ビュッフェ付きにしましたが、当日にプラス1人12ドルで料理を追加できるとのことでした(*^◯^*)ブュッフェもとても美味しくてウインナーは何回もおかわりしました(^ ^)♡
飲み物も充実していますし、お金を出せば美味しいお酒も買えます！
船酔いするタイプの私ですのですが酔い止めを忘れて乗ってしまい不安でした。ですが船自体が大きいのでそこまで揺れず全く問題なかったです。

ただ一つ残念だったのが、ホエールが見えなかったことです。高い確率で見られるとのことでワクワクして参加しましたが、ホエールは勿論。ウミガメもイルカも何も見えませんでした。
見えないのをただただひたすら海の水平線を眺めて終わりました。

見えなかった方には次回の無料乗船券がもらえるのですが、今期のみで今年の4月までに行かなくてはならないそうで、ホテルへの送迎やブュッフェは付属しないとのことでした。

ハワイに行くのは一年に一度程度ですので、そんなに短い期間の乗船券だと使えません！！
しかも英語で説明されるので日本語しかわからない我々はどこでチケットをもらっていいかわからず戸惑いました。
チケットをもらわずわからないまま帰宅した方も大勢おられたようでした。

もう少し日本語ができるスタッフがいてくれると助かると思います。

I touched a dolphin for the first time! Its incredibly gentle skin was indescribable, and its cries were so cute; I was very satisfied ❤︎ It was great that my 2-year-old could participate as well.

初めてイルカを触りました！なんとも言えない優しい肌触りで泣く声も可愛くとても満足しました❤︎
2歳の子も一緒に参加できとても良かったです。

We, a couple in our twenties who can't speak any English, went on a 5-day trip to Hawaii for 3 nights. Perhaps due to the timing in mid-December, we were able to travel at less than half the usual cost, making it quite a bargain.

Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was bad, and even in Hawaii, it took a fair amount of courage to get into the sea or pool. On the last day, we were scheduled to depart Hawaii around noon, and that day, the temperature was quite high, perfect for marine sports.

The first activity we participated in while shivering was the "Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii Thrilling Water Slide & All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Lunch Plan." There was a convenient bus service to near our hotel. At the bus stop, various buses arrived for different plans, and we hesitated for a moment about which bus to take, but the bus guide was Japanese, which was a great help for the two of us who couldn't speak English.

When we arrived at the site, we were amazed by the excitement. There were many thrilling attractions that you can't experience in Japan, and we felt the American quality. Laughing, perhaps due to the weather or just luck, we were able to enjoy all the attractions without any wait, riding as much as we wanted. However, it was just so cold. The lunch was a buffet style, and although the variety was limited, it was satisfying. In the afternoon, I couldn't muster the courage to get back into the pool, so I spent the rest of the day relaxing in the heated area.

It's unfortunate that we weren't blessed with good weather, but the attractions were so enjoyable that we forgot about the cold. I recommend visiting this place when you go to Hawaii.

全く英語の話せない20代カップルで3泊5日ハワイの旅へ行って来ました。
12月中旬という時期のせいなのか、旅費が通常の半値以下で行くことができ、かなりお得な旅でした。

残念ながら滞在期間中の天候が悪く、ハワイとはいえ海やプールに入るのはそれなりの根性が必要でした。
最終日はお昼頃にハワイを出発することになっており、その日に限ってかなり気温が高く、絶好のマリンスポーツ日和でした。

私たちがまず始めに凍えながら参加したのは『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を楽しもう！ / BBQランチ食べ放題プラン』でした。
ホテルの近くまでバスの送迎がありとても便利です。バス停には色々なバスが各プランの送迎にきており乗るバスを一瞬迷いますが、バスガイドが日本人でしたので英語の話せない2人には大変助かりました。
現地に着くとその迫力に驚きました。日本では味わえないようなスリリングなアトラクションが数多くあり、アメリカンクオリティを感じました。笑
天候のせいかたまたまなのか、どのアトラクションも待ち時間なく乗ることができ、乗り放題の状態でした。が、、、とにかく寒かったです。ランチはビュッフェ形式になっており品数こそ少ないものの、満足できる内容でした。午後からはまたプールに入る勇気がでず、温水コーナーでひたすらゆっくりして1日が終わりました。

天候に恵まれなかったのは残念ですが、アトラクションは寒さも忘れる楽しさがありましたので、ハワイを訪れた際にはこちらに行くことをお勧めします。

The weather was bad, so I couldn't fully enjoy the scenery as seen in the photos, but thanks to the skillful photography of the tour guide, I was able to take my favorite pictures.

The lunch was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

天気が悪くて、写真でみる様な景色を満喫できませんでしたが、
添乗員の方の上手な撮影でお気に入りの写真を撮ることが出来ました。

昼食も美味しかったですし、とっても満足しました。

It was so great that I can't express it in words!! The locals were handsome, I heard the dolphins' voices, and I was so happy to see so many dolphins!! *\(^o^)/*

言葉じゃいい表せないぐらいよかった！！
現地の人イケメンだし、イルカの声聞いちゃったし、
イルカ沢山見れてよかったぁぁぁ*\(^o^)/*

I participated with my children aged 21, 13, 8, and 5. It was a very fun day, seeing sets from movies I had seen before.

21才、13才、8才、5才の子供達と参加しました。
見たことのある映画のセットをみたりとても楽しい１日でした。

Everything was exactly as promised. I booked this for myself, 46 yr old mom and my family of 4, kids ages 13, 11 and 9 and Hubby. I chose this tour based on the pick-up time from our hotel and the hot lunch. Other tours had earlier times and offered cold cuts. We took the tour from the Sheraton Waikiki.
The boat and snorkeling equipment were in good condition - the location was amazing and just like the brochure.
The hamburgers were satisfying - we were happy to eat them.
We saw about a dozen Sea Turtles - this made my kids very happy.
The reef snorkle was great for me - but felt short.
Staff was excellent, very helpful and congenial - one even played a guitar during lunch - keeping the ambiance light and loose. They managed boat safety and maneuvering well.
You do not need to have athletic ability- just know how to breath and float and you can enjoy it. The seas were extremely mild and I did not get sick or feel nauseous as I am prone to.

The bus did break down headed up Likelike hwy. The tour operators had a replacement bus on site in about 15 minutes so the inconvenience was minimal. They didn't exactly keep us well appraised of the situation but it was managed well- enough.

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling. I joined the 9 AM pickup, and I thought the chances of seeing dolphins were low, but as soon as I jumped into the water, I encountered dolphins. I barely had time to get used to snorkeling and was just managing to put my face in the water, but I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close.

My fourth-grade child was scared for the first five minutes, but the staff helped, and after that, they enjoyed it.

I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick. Besides snorkeling, we could also do hula, kayaking, and SUP, but I was so exhausted that I couldn't focus on anything else. When I asked the staff, they said that the dolphin middle school only offered snorkeling, so if I participate again, I think I would prefer the middle school option.

There were two Japanese staff members along with the Hawaiian staff, which made me feel reassured. They also helped to create a fun atmosphere, and despite feeling seasick, it was an enjoyable time.

初ハワイ、初シュノーケリングでした。
9時頃ピックアップの便に参加で、イルカに会える確率は低いのかなと思いましたが、海に飛び込んですぐにイルカに遭遇。シュノーケリングに慣れる暇もなく、水に顔をつけるのがやっとでしたが、なんとかイルカやウミガメを間近に見ることができました。
小４の子供も最初の5分はおびえていましたが、スタッフが助けてくれて、その後は堪能していました。

酔い止め薬飲んでいきましたが、船酔いしてしまいました。
シュノーケリングの他、フラ、カヤックやSUPもできましたが、疲れきってしまい、それどころではなく…。
スタッフに聞くと、イルカ中学のほうはシュノーケリングだけとのことだったので、次回参加することがあれば、中学でいいかなと思いました。
ハワイアンスタッフの他、日本人スタッフが2人いて、安心できました。また、いろいろ盛り上げてくれて、船酔いしながらも楽しいひと時でした。

The water was shallow, just above the ankles. It wasn't completely dry land, but the good weather and the feeling of standing in the middle of the sea was very strange and became a wonderful memory. The staff were also very friendly and took a lot of photos, which made me happy. I didn't participate in snorkeling since I can't swim, but they lent me a float, so I was able to enjoy myself! The boat's restroom was also clean, which was a plus. I would love to join again.

膝下、足首より上の浅さでした。
完全な陸ではなかったけれど、天気も良く海の真ん中で立っている感覚はとても不思議でよい思い出になりました。
スタッフの方々も、写真を進んでたくさんとってくれて嬉しかったです。
シュノーケリングは泳げないので参加しませんでしたが、浮き輪をかしてくれるので楽しめました！
船のトイレも綺麗だったのも◎
また参加したいです。

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。
潜水艦のアクティビティがあるリゾート地は限られますし、海底の神秘を垣間見ることができるのはなかなかできない体験です。
また、日本語の音声ガイドがありますので、英語が出来なくても楽しめます。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit the famous sandbar in Oahu. After walking on the sandbar, you can experience snorkeling in the deeper areas around it. There were sea turtles swimming close to the tour boat, and you can also see rays while snorkeling.

When I participated, the tide was somewhat high, so the water depth to the sandbar was about knee-deep, which diminished the experience of the sandbar. I definitely recommend checking the low tide times in advance and trying to participate during low tide if possible.

There are a few GoPro rentals available, so you can also enjoy capturing underwater footage.

オアフ島では有名なサンドバーに行ってみたいということで、このツアーに参加しました。
サンドバーを歩いた後、サンドバー周辺の深くなっているところでシュノーケリングを体験できます。ツアー船になついているウミガメが直ぐ近くを泳いでいたり、シュノーケリングではエイも見ることができます。
参加した時はやや満ち潮の時だったので、サンドバーまでの水深がひざ丈ほどあり、サンドバーの醍醐味は半減でした。是非、事前に干潮の時間を調べ、極力干潮時に参加することをおススメします。
数台ではありますが、Go Proのレンタルもできるので、水中での撮影も楽しめますよ。

Since it is owned by a Japanese person, the overall portion sizes were smaller, and the flavors catered to Japanese tastes. As an Italian restaurant abroad, the food was quite good, so I would like to go again! However, there were more appealing options on the à la carte menu than in the course menu, so I think I will choose that next time. Additionally, the table we were seated at was near the entrance, and with customers coming in and out, it felt a bit hectic. Therefore, I give it four stars.

日本人のオーナーということで、全体的に量は少なめで、味も日本人向けのレストランでした。
海外のイタリアンとしては、上出来のお味ですのでまた行きたいと思います！
ただ、コースよりも単品注文のほうが魅力的なメニューが多かったので、次からはそうすると思います。また通された席が入り口付近で、待ちのお客さんが次々と来るので少しせわしない感じがしました。なので星4つです。

I was so excited when I finally saw wild dolphins from the boat. They were jumping around in large groups, and occasionally they even showed off twist jumps like in an aquarium show, which was amazing. Once I got into the water, I only saw a pod of dolphins once, but a huge group swam right underneath me while I was floating! I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but I couldn't operate it well underwater, so I couldn't take any photos of the dolphins. If you want to take pictures underwater, I definitely recommend using an underwater camera. I encountered sea turtles several times. They swam right up to where we were floating, and I was worried I might accidentally touch one.

On the boat, the friendly crew kept the atmosphere lively and even showed us a wonderful hula dance. I enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch. During the free time for snorkeling, there were plenty of fun options available, like a slide, trampoline, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Since I participated at a discounted rate, I was personally satisfied with the experience, but I think it would have been better if there were a few more opportunities to swim with the dolphins at the regular price. By the way, the crew mentioned that they saw a whale on the way back, but there was no announcement made to the group, so I missed it.

船の上から念願の野生イルカを見れた時にはとてもテンションが上がりました。大勢の群れでピョンピョン飛び跳ねながら、たまに水族館のショーみたいにツイストジャンプまで見せてくれて感激しました。実際海に入ってからは、一度しかイルカの群れを見る事が出来ませんでしたが、自分が浮いてる真下をイルカの大群が泳いでいきました！iPhoneを防水ケースに入れて持って行きましたが、水中ではうまく操作が出来ず携帯ではイルカの写真を撮る事ができませんでした。はやり海中で写真をとるなら水中カメラがオススメです。ウミガメには何度か会えました。私たちがプカプカ浮いている所に泳いでくるので、危うく触れてしまうのではないかとヒヤヒヤしました。
船上ではフレンドリーなクルー達が盛り上げてくれ、素敵なフラダンスを見せてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく頂きました。シュノーケリングの自由時間には、滑り台やトランポリン、カヌー、スタンドアップパドルなどなど、遊べるオプションが充実しています。
モニター価格での参加でしたので、個人的には満足な内容でしたが、一般料金で参加の場合はもう少しイルカと泳ぐポイントが多かったらいいかなと思いました。因みに、帰り際にクルーがクジラも見れたと言っていましたが、特に全体に向けてのお知らせは無かったので私は見ることが出来ませんでした。

You will wait for the shuttle bus at the Hyatt Regency, which will make about three stops along the way before arriving. The submarine does not have a restroom, but there is a restroom on the moving boat, so you can feel at ease. Under the sea, you will visit several points. The view differs depending on whether you are sitting on the left or right, but when there are sea turtles, they will rotate so that both seats can see them.

ハイアットリージェンシーでシャトルバスを待ち、途中3か所位途中停車してから到着します。
サブマリンにはトイレがありませんが、移動中の船にトイレがあるので安心です。
海底では、いくつかポイントを周遊します。左右の席で見えるモノが違いますが、海ガメがいた際は回転してどちらの席でも見えるようにしてくれました。

Staying in Waikiki
There was a bus transfer service, which was very helpful. ⭐️
I was concerned about managing valuables during the reservation stage, but since there were only Japanese people, I felt at ease. ⭐️
It takes about 50 minutes from Waikiki to the port, which was just enough time for a little nap. ⭐️
The sandbar is close to the port, so there’s no worry about seasickness. ⭐️
We saw turtles, landed on the sandbar, and then went snorkeling, and returning by noon was fantastic. ⭐️
I was able to make good use of the afternoon as well, so overall, it was a very satisfying tour!

ワイキキ泊
バスで送迎があり、手厚い⭐️
予約の段階で貴重品の管理を気にしたが、日本人しかいなかったので、心配なかった⭐️
ワイキキから港まで50分で、少し寝るに丁度よく⭐️
港からサンドバーが近いので、船酔いの心配はない⭐️
カメを見て、サンドバーに降り立ち、その後シュノーケリングもして、帰着まで12時なのは最高⭐️
午後の時間も有効に使えたので、全体を通して大満足できるツアーでした！

I went to Hawaii during the New Year's holiday in January, but it was surprisingly cold. The sunshine was very hot, but the water temperature was too cold to enjoy swimming!

The lunch was delicious, but it wasn't really a buffet; you could get refills, so it was just enough to adjust the amount freely. There were only about three types of soda, and with the all-you-can-drink option, I couldn't just drink Pepsi all the time.

1月のお正月休みにハワイへ行きましたが、意外と寒かったー⤵⤵
陽射しはとても暑いのですが、水温が冷たすぎて水に浸かってられませんでした！

お昼ご飯は美味しかったのですが、ブッフェといえるものではなくおかわりができるので量を自由に調整できる程度のものでした。
飲み物は３種類くらいの炭酸しかないし、飲み放題ってペプシばっかり飲めません。

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I did some research and discovered something that we don't have in our area: Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. Since it had been a long time since we both visited a pool theme park, we were looking forward to it even before going. To be honest, I usually dislike amusement parks because I'm not a fan of thrill rides. However, I have always enjoyed water slides because there's a sense of security in falling into water.

In the end, it was a fun experience that didn't disappoint my expectations. I'm glad we went! Every activity was thrilling and made me want to ride again. Personally, I found the Shaka ride really scary, so I never want to ride it again... If you love thrill rides, you might get hooked. Overall, I think couples, families, and friends can all enjoy it, regardless of the combination.

- Differences from my expectations:
Before going, I had the impression from online research and brochures that it would be very spacious, but it turned out to be more compact than I expected, making it easy to move around. As a result, we were able to achieve our goal of experiencing all the activities.

- Disappointments (this is a personal opinion):
The drink options included in the plan were only carbonated beverages. The food (cheeseburger) was just average.

今回、新婚旅行でハワイに行くにあたり下調べをしたところ、私達が普段生活している地域には無いものを発見。それがウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイでした。プールのテーマパークはお互い子供の時以来だったこともあり、行く前から楽しみにしていました。何を隠そう、普段から遊園地等が嫌いな私。その理由は絶叫系が苦手だから。ですが、プールのウォータースライダー系は落ちても水という安心感があり昔から好きでした。
結果、期待を裏切らない楽しさでした。行って良かった！どのアクティビティもスリルがあって楽しく、また乗りたいと思わせるものでした。私としてはシャカだけは本当に怖かったので二度と乗りたくありません。。。絶叫系が好きならやみつきになるかもしれません。総合的に考えると、ご夫婦・ご家族・カップル・お友達同士…どんな組み合わせでも楽しめると思います。
・想像と違っていたところ
行く前にネット等\で下調べしたりパンフレットを見たりした時はすごく広そうなイメージでしたが、思いの外コンパクトだったので、移動が楽でした。その為、目標としていた全アクティビティ制覇を達成できました。
・残念だったところ（※個人的な感想です）
プランに含まれていた飲み物飲み放題の選択肢が炭酸しか無かったこと。
ご飯（チーズバーガー）はそれなりだったこと。

Picked up exactly on time with a few stops on the way. Plenty of time to register and then get on the boat.

Good safety instructions by the 1st Mate and the captain with even better instructions from the barman.

Bit cloudy and short burst of rain but very enjoyable couple of hours just about saw a whale calf and lots of dolphins then over to diamond head and back.

Very enjoyable

We saw beautiful sunset and city views on the ocean. The food was great. I think it was the most delicious lobster and steak I've ever eaten. The service was fantastic. I will join the dinner cruise again next time I'm in Hawaii.

The tour itself was really good, interesting and informing. All of the employees that took care of us were helpful and kind. The problem was the scheduling from Oahu to Kauai. We had to be picked up at 4:30 a.m. At our hotel. The plane left at 6:00 a.m. We got to Kauai at 6:40 a.m. And had to wait until picked up by tour guide at 8:40 a.m.. There were others that left our hotel at 7:00 and arrived to have guide pick them up on time. We also were told (on the tour guide was told) the wrong place at the airport to pick us up. All of that was very stressful. If they could correct the scheduling then it is a worthwhile tour.

I was surprised how accessible the tour was! I've never seen a motor coach with a wheelchair lift before. Our guide, Mike, was top notch! One important suggestion: call well in advance to schedule wheelchair transportation. I actually had to change our tour date, but it worked out perfectly. I also recommend the longer tour. We were only able to get through about 1/3 of the audio tour, which I also highly recommend. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

I'm not very familiar with the climate of Oahu, but I always feel like the wind is strong when I leave Honolulu. This time, especially since it was December, the temperature at Sea Life Park was just warm enough to get into the water, but the strong wind made it feel very cold. It felt like swimming in a pool on a cold day.

Despite the fact that all participants were clearly cold, the program progressed quite leisurely. It might be due to the service, or perhaps they have to provide a certain amount of time for the event, but participants had to endure getting splashed by dolphins multiple times while shivering, and they hardly moved on to the important photo opportunities for kisses and handshakes. We participated with our 6-year-old and 3-year-old, but our 3-year-old gave up before the photo session and couldn't do the kiss or handshake. There were other children in the same situation.

While the instructor was very enthusiastic, I thought it would have been better if they could adapt the program a bit more flexibly considering the cold and the presence of many small children. Our 6-year-old said it was fun even though it was cold, so I think age does play a role.

So, I wouldn't recommend this for those who are sensitive to the cold or for families with small children during the cold season. By the way, the facility does not have hot showers or dryers, so after the event, we quickly changed and bundled up to recover our body temperature.

オアフ島の気候に詳しくはないのですが、いつもホノルルを離れると、風が強い気がします。今回は特に12月だったためか、シーライフパークは何とか海には入れるくらいの気温だけど、風が強くとても寒く感じました。寒い日のプールって感じでした。
そんな中、明らかに参加者全員が寒がっているにも関わらず、プログラムはかなりゆったりと進んでいきました。サービスなのかもしれないし、ある程度の時間催しを提供しなければならないのかもしれないのですが、参加者たちが震えているのに何回もイルカのスプラッシュを浴びなければならなかったり、肝心のキスや握手での写真撮影を全然進めなかったり。うちは６歳と３歳の子どもと参加しましたが、３歳の子は写真撮影の前にギブアップで、キスも握手もできませんでした。うちの他にも、同じ状況のお子さんがいました。
インストラクターの方がサービス旺盛なのはいいのですが、寒がっていて、小さい子が多いとか、もう少し状況によって臨機応変にプログラムを進めてくれればいいのにと思いました。
６歳の子は、寒くても楽しい！と言っていたので、ある程度年齢の問題はあると思います。
ということで、寒い時期、寒さが苦手な方や小さい子連れの方はオススメしません。
ちなみに施設にはお湯が出るシャワーやドライヤーはなく、終了後はとにかく着替えて厚着して体温回復しました。

At the very last moment, a whale appeared.
I wondered if it would show up again.
The moment I tried to go inside the boat,

it spouted!
It appeared.
Thank you, whale.

I couldn't take a photo of the whale.

最後の最後にクジラあらわる。
もうあらわれないかな？
船内に入ろうした瞬間、

潮吹き！
出現。
ありがとう クジラさん

クジラの写真は撮れませんでした。

I was worried about whether I would see any whales on my long-awaited whale watching tour, but I was able to meet many whales.

At first, they were far away, and I couldn't see them up close, so I thought maybe that was all there was. Just as I started to relax and have lunch, I was able to see a whale jumping through the glass! It was from the side, so it was beautifully visible, and everyone on board applauded enthusiastically. So, I realized that even when the sea is calm, we should never let our guard down!

I also participated with my 3-year-old child, and there were plenty of activities, plus meals with rice and noodles that my child enjoyed. There were both paid and free drinks, which was great!

Even after leaving the whales, the scenery, the color of the sea, and the color of the sky were all wonderful, making it a very satisfying tour!

I definitely plan to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

念願のホエールウォッチングで、見れるか心配だったけど、沢山のクジラたちに会えました。

始めは遠くにいてなかなか近くで見れなかったので、もうこのくらいなのかなぁと油断してランチを始めたら、ガラス越しにジャンプするクジラを見ることが出来ました！！それも、横からだったのでキレイに見れて参加者全員拍手喝采でした❇
なので、海面が穏やかでも油断大敵だなと思います！

また、3歳の子どもと参加しましたが、アクティビティも沢山あったし、食事もライスも麺もあったので食べてくれましたし、飲み物も有料や無料があってどちらも良かったです！

そして、クジラたちたちと離れても景色も海の色も空の色も素晴らしいので大満足なツアーでした！

また、ハワイに行くときは必ず参加しようと思います！
