All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Lei service was wonderful! Received on arrival at airport, our flight landed 30 minutes early, which made me a little nervous considering this lei service was for my kids, but the greeter was ready and waiting, even took our picture Thank you for making our Hawaiian arrival extra special.

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 participated with my 1 year and 11-month-old son. I think it's wonderful that children under 2 can participate for free. The staff were fluent in Japanese and very easy to understand. The feel of the dolphin was... like an eggplant. My son was initially scared, but gradually got used to it and wanted to touch the dolphin on his own. It's just a simple touch or kiss, so I think it's good for children, but it might be a bit lacking for adults.

1歳11ヶ月の息子と参加しました。1歳児が（無料で）参加できるという点では素晴らしいと思います。
スタッフの方も日本語が堪能でとてもわかりやすかったです。
イルカの感触は、、、茄子のよう…でした。
息子は最初は怖がっていたものの、徐々になれて、自分からイルカを触りたがっておりました。
簡単に触ったり、キスするだけなので、子供には良いと思いますが、大人には物足りないかな、とも思います。

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

It's perfect for sneaking out during a business trip. Just prepare your swimsuit and sunscreen (preferably cream type with over 85% protection), and you won't need anything else. A few older gentlemen participating might stand out a bit, but don't worry about it.

出張先、コッソリ抜け出して参加するのに最適。水着と日焼け止め(85%以上のクリームタイプ）のみ準備すれば、あとは何も要らない。おじさん数名の参加は、少々浮き気味ですが、気にしない、気にしない。

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。

Other than the Japanese staff, no one speaks Japanese. At Dolphin Pool, speaking Japanese is prohibited (due to training reasons), so you can't enjoy a lively family atmosphere. If you participate from 3 PM, the meeting time is the same as 1 PM, so you might have trouble passing the time in the park. For lunch, they only sell hot dogs, so it's better to eat in Waikiki. The photos from the Dolphin Encounter took a long time to be processed, and waiting was a bit stressful. Although it's partly my fault that my face is hardly visible in the photos, I wish I had more time to check before they were sold. Due to a photo software issue, the return shuttle bus was 40 minutes late, and I was really blamed by the foreign guests. The park staff said it would be fine, so I was surprised and felt really exhausted. In summary, well, touching the dolphins was fun, so it's okay.

日本語スタッフ以外は、日本語ができません。
イルカプールでは、日本語の私語が禁止（調教の関係で）なので、家族で、わいわいって感じの遊び方はできません。
三時からの参加は、集合は、一時と同じなので、園内の時間つぶしに困るかも。
ランチも、ホットドッグしか売ってないので、ワイキキで食べていくのが、いいですね。
イルカエンカウンターの写真が、なかなか仕上がらず、待たされるのも、ちょっとストレスがたまります。
写真に、ほとんど顔が写ってないのも、自分のせいとは言え、販売するときに、もっと確認する時間が欲しかったです。写真ソフトトラブルで、帰りは、送迎バスに４０分遅れ、同乗の外人さんに、めっちゃ責められました。
これも、パークのスタッフは大丈夫って言っていたので、驚き、疲れが、どっとでました。
まとめ；ま、イルカタッチは楽しかったし、い～か。

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。

During my stay, I chose the day when the water would be shallowest, but unfortunately, the sandbar did not appear, and the water was only about knee-deep. Near the sandbar, where the boat stopped, the depth was about waist-high, and I walked from there toward the sandbar. I thought I could get down in the shallow area, so it was unfortunate that my grandmother couldn't manage it, but it seemed she still enjoyed being on the boat.

I wondered if the water would have been a bit shallower if the boat hadn't had issues that delayed our departure. The bottom was covered in white coral sand, and I could see the mountains of Kualoa, which were very beautiful!

While snorkeling, I even met a turtle that was a friend of the captain. It seemed used to people and came very close to us.

It was quite windy and extremely cold, so it might be a good idea to bring about two bath towels. The staff were very kind and made the experience enjoyable!

滞在中、一番水面が浅くなる日を選んだのですが、残念ながらサンドバーは現れず、ひざ下くらいでした。
サンドバーの近く、ボートがとまったところは腰上くらいの深さで、そこからサンドバーを目指して歩きました。浅いところで降りれるのかと思っていたので、残念ながら祖母には無理でしたが、船上だけでも楽しかったようです。
ボートの調子が悪くて出発が遅れることがなければ、もうちょっと浅かったのかなあ、と思いました。足元は白い珊瑚の砂で、クアロアの山々も見えて、とてもきれいでした！
シュノーケリング中にはキャプテンの知り合いのカメさんにも会えました。人に慣れているのか、すごく近くまで来てくれました。
風が強く、ものすごく寒かったので、バスタオル２枚くらい持っていったほうが良いかもしれません。
スタッフのみなさんはとても親切で楽しかったです！

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

We participated as a couple. On this day, besides us, there was an Italian family and two American couples.

One of the crew members, who could speak Japanese, talked to us. They had lived in Japan and knew a lot about the area where we live, so we had a fun conversation mixing English and Japanese, which is a nice memory.

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and we could only see a little bit of the sunset through the gaps. It was a bit disappointing, but seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was lovely.

Since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit. We didn't take any motion sickness medication, but I was concerned about getting seasick and didn't feel like eating or drinking much. However, the foreigners were drinking and eating a lot. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.

Also, while the wind feels nice, it might be a bit cold for women. I think it would be good to have something to cover up with.

夫婦で参加しました。
この日は私達以外に、イタリア人家族と二組のアメリカ人夫婦が参加されていました。

クルーで、日本語を話せる方が話しかけてくれたのですが、
日本に住まれていたとかで（私達が住んでいる所も詳しくて）
英語日本語混ぜながら、楽しく会話出来たのも良い思い出です。

あいにくの曇り空でサンセットは隙間から少し見えたくらい。
ちょっと残念でしたが、沖からみるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした~

小型の船なので、結構揺れます。
私達は酔い止め飲まなかったのですが、船酔いが気になって
あまり飲食する気になれず…。
外国の方は、ガンガンお酒飲んで食べまくってましたけど。
不安な方は、酔い止め飲んでおかれた方がよいかも。

あと、風が気持ち良いですが、女性には少し寒いかも。
羽織るもの、あるとよいと思います。

I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be quite an interesting experience. The pier was bright white and stood out beautifully against the blue sea. From here, we took a boat out to board the submarine, and that was quite enjoyable. Perhaps because of the strong winds, the boat was rocking so much that I could hardly stand without holding on to something. You can also see the submarine rising and sinking from the boat! The view from the submarine was decent, but it was fun as an attraction! My elderly grandmother also enjoyed it.

あまり期待していなかったのですが、なかなか面白い体験でした。
桟橋が真っ白で青い海に映えて、とてもきれいでした。ここから潜水艦に乗り込むために船で沖に出るのですが、これが結構楽しめました。風が強かったせいか、ゆれがものすごくて何かにつかまっていないと立っていられないほどでした。船からは潜水艦が浮き出る様子や沈んでいく様子も見ることができます！
潜水艦からの景色はそこそこですが、アトラクションとしては楽しかったです！高齢の祖母も喜んでくれました。

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。

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★

This tour truly felt like a power spot, and I received so much energy from it. The staff were all very kind, and I definitely want to recommend it. Next time, I would like to join the BBQ tour!

このツアーはまさにパワースポットって感じなくらいパワーもらえました。
スタッフは皆さんとても親切ですし、絶対おススメしたい。
この次は、BBQのツアーに参加してみたいです☆

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 have visited Hawaii before, but I had never participated in an activity swimming with wild dolphins.

This time, I chose this highly-rated option because I was traveling with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

On this day, we were able to see many dolphins for a long time, and a sea turtle swam right by us. My friends and I were all extremely excited!!

Having light snacks included was also nice. We were able to create memories that were worth more than the price.

I definitely recommend it.

今までにもハワイを訪れたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐアクティビティーには参加した事がありませんでした。

今回初ハワイの友人を連れての旅行なので、評判の良いこちらを選びました。

この日はたくさんのイルカ達に、しかも長い時間逢うことが出来、海亀もすぐ近くを泳いでいってくれました。
私も友人たちも皆大興奮！！

軽食つきなのもいいですね。
お値段以上の想い出を貰うことが出来ました。

間違いなくオススメです。

The pickup was the very first thing. We visited several hotels and got on the highway, taking just under an hour for a restroom break (I’m not sure of the exact location, but it was very close to Heia Boat Harbor).

We joined up with another bus and boarded the boat.

The weather was fantastic and calm, which was great, but unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any natural turtles. We all looked for them, but we didn’t find any. However, we did see a turtle at the sandbar. It was very friendly and would come close when we approached, but the guide warned us that if we put our hands down, it might bite, so we ran away with the kids (laughs).

The sandbar was unfortunately only about knee-deep, but it was very beautiful. It was a bit cold, probably because it was mid-May. Everyone was saying it was cold and seemed to be splashing around in the sea like they were in a bath. Plus, we had to walk from where the boat could go to the shallow area, and there were surprisingly many rocks and stones, so I had to carry my child because their feet hurt.

I also participated in snorkeling, but it was in a pretty deep area where I couldn’t reach the bottom, so I went alone, leaving my family behind. There were a lot of fish, but it was too deep to see the corals up close. It was just a back-and-forth splash, and honestly, it was boring. It would have been fun if there was a circular course to explore...

The barbecue was really delicious. Also, the donuts we had before going into the sea were hot and amazing.

On the way back, the bus had towels laid out and the air conditioning was turned off. It was very kind of them to allow us to stay wet. Everyone was exhausted, so we arrived quickly.

All the staff were cheerful and it was fun. It was reassuring to be surrounded by Japanese people.

I definitely want to participate again next time. Hopefully, during a warmer season...

ピックアップは一番最初でした。数ヶ所ホテルをまわり高速に乗って１時間弱でトイレ休憩（場所はわかりませんが、へエイア・ボート・ハーバーのすぐ近くでした）
他のバスと合流して、ボートに乗りました。

とても天気がよく穏やかな日で最高でしたが、残念ながら天然のカメさんには出会えませんでした。みんなで探したのですが出会えませんでした。サンドバーにいたカメさんには出会えました。すごく人になついていて近くに行くと寄ってきますが、手を下にするとかまれるよってガイドさんに言われたので子供と逃げました（笑）

サンドバーは残念ながら膝下くらいでしたが、とてもキレイでした。ただ５月中旬だったからか寒かったです。みんな寒い寒いってお風呂に入っているみたいに海につかっていました。しかも船がいける所から浅瀬まで歩くのですが、意外と岩や石が多く、子供は足が痛いって抱っこして行きました。

シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が届かないかなり深い場所だったので家族をおいて１人で参加。お魚はたくさんいたのですがあまりにも深い場所でサンゴが近くでは見れませんでした。しかもただバシャバシャ行って帰ってくるだけの往復。正直、つまらなかったです。ぐるっと回るような周回コースがあれば楽しいのに・・・。

バーベキューはとってもおいしかったです。あと海に入る前にいただいたドーナツもアツアツで最高でした。

帰りのバスにはちゃんとタオルも敷いてあって冷房も切ってありました。濡れたままでOKでとても親切。みんなぐったりしてたのですぐにつきました。

スタッフの人達はみな明るくて楽しかったです。
日本人ばかりで安心です。

次回も是非参加したいです。今度は暖かい時に・・・。

Must see attraction

I had another commitment, so my husband and children attended Sea Life Park without me.

Kissing a dolphin is something you can't experience in Japan. It was such a great experience.

They seemed to really enjoy the dolphin show, and when they came back, they talked a lot about it.

私は別の用事があったため、シーライフパークには主人と子供たちでの参加でした。
イルカとのキス、日本では経験できない事。とってもいい体験になりました。

イルカショー　とても楽しかったみたいで帰って来たらいっぱい話しをしてくれました。

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。

Truly enjoyed the boat ride out and the associated views. The sub was great. Clear water, tons of fish, turtles and two sharks...would do this again in a heartbeat.

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!

Hi - I would highly recommend the lei greeting. This was for our 1st time to Hawaii and we were getting married in Ohau. I wanted to surprise my bride to be with a lei greeting. The lei's were absolutely beautiful and was the best lei we got in Hawaii. Great value for the quality of the flowers....

I really enjoyed receiving my Lei at th Honolulu Airport. My greeter was there waiting for me with a big smile. She made sure to ask my plans as far as lodging and transportation to make sure I made it to my destination. It was well worth it.

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。
