Oahu
I immediately recognized the large bus marked "Wet n Wild." The driver was a foreigner, but the guide was Japanese, and I quickly received a wristband that served as my ticket before boarding the bus.
Inside the bus, there was a monitor, and I thought they would show videos of the park, but it only provided audio explanations. That was a bit disappointing. Since I had some free time, I looked at the pamphlet I received. The bus stopped at about five hotels and took about an hour to reach our destination. However, there was no explanation that the park opened at 10:30, so we arrived at 10:00 and ended up waiting in the blazing sun for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. (During that time, I applied sunscreen.)
Additionally, I heard from the guide that no food or drinks could be brought into the park, so I threw away two half-finished plastic bottles in the trash at the entrance. However, the guide who checked our bags only glanced at them briefly. (That felt a bit wasteful.)
The park was very large, but since there were children with us, the activities were somewhat limited. So, we mostly played (taking turns as a couple). There was a long slide suitable for kids, and there were water guns, and if you let your guard down, water would splash down on you, which was a lot of fun. We played together with other children.
For lunch, there was only one place to eat. Moreover, there was no Japanese menu, so we ordered by looking at pictures. I wasn't sure what the rolled item was, but it turned out to be slightly spicy potatoes. It was quite tasty. Just keep in mind that only cash is accepted, so it might be a good idea to bring a little extra.
Since my child is small, I needed towels and tissues for wiping noses, so I didn't leave my bag in a locker. I placed my belongings on a chair while we played, but there were staff members around, so nothing happened. In the lazy river, we borrowed floaties and swam together, and our belongings were safe.
For the return trip, we had to gather at the bus by 3:15, so the time really flew by. After eating and playing a bit, it was already 3:00. If you want to do more, you might need to manage your time carefully. Since you also need to account for the time to return to the hotel, it can't be helped, but I wish they would stay open a little longer (the park closes at 4:30).
The return bus had air conditioning, so...
ウエットアンドワイルドと書かれた大きなバスでピックアップすぐにわかりました。
ドライバーさんは外人さんでしたがガイドさんが日本人の方で、すぐにチケットとなるリストバンドを手首にしてバスに乗りました。
バスの中にはモニターがあって園内の映像でも流れるのかと思ったらただ音声での説明だけ。ちょっと残念。暇だったのでもらったパンフレットを見てました。
バスは5件くらいホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間くらいでつきました。
でもオープンが10時半からと説明もなかったので10時に着いてわけもわからず30分くらい炎天下で並んでいました。(その間に日焼け止めを塗りましたが)
また、園内には飲み物や食べ物は一切持ち込めないとガイドさんから聞いていたので、飲みかけのペットボトル2本を入口のゴミ箱に捨てました。でも見に来たのはさっきのガイドさんで、しかもさらっとしかバックを見なかったです。(ちょっともったいなかった)
園内はとても広かったですが子供もいたので遊べる物は限られていました。なのであまり他のことはしないで(夫婦交代交代で)遊びました。でも子供にしては長いすべり台もあるし水が出る鉄砲みたいなのはあるし、気を抜いていると貯まった水がジャーっとかかるしと、とっても楽しかったです。他の子供と一緒になって遊んでいました。
お昼は食べるところが1箇所しかないです。しかも日本語メニューはないので絵でみて注文しました。クルクルしたものがなんなのかわからなかったのですが、ちょっと辛いポテトでした。普通においしかったです。ただ全て現金しか使えないので少し多めに持って行った方がいいかも。
子供も小さいのでタオルや鼻水を拭くティッシュが必要だったのでバックはロッカーには預けませんでした。イスに荷物を置いて遊んでいましたがあちらこちらにスタッフがいるので何事もありませんでした。
流れるプールでは浮き輪を借りてみんなで泳ぎましたが荷物も無事でした。
帰りは3時15分にバスに集合だったので、ホントにあっという間です。ご飯を食べてちょっと遊んで着替えるとすぐに3時です。他にもあれこれ乗りたいなら時間配分が必要かも。ホテルに帰る時間も必要だからしょうがないけど、もう少し遅くまでやっていればなーと思います(園内は4時半で終わり)
帰りのバスはクーラーが効いているので
The space between the tables was narrow, making it difficult to eat comfortably. However, the taste was excellent, especially the pasta, which was exquisite.
テーブル間が狭くて、落ち着いて食べれなかった。しかし、味は最高で、特にパスタが絶品でした。
I participated with my elementary school son. He said it was the most fun he had on our trip to Hawaii (laughs).
小学生の息子と参加しました。
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったと息子は言ってました(笑)
After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!
It was a somewhat cloudy day, but the clear sea was really nice. The staff members were friendly and approachable.
当日は少し曇りがちな日、でも、透明度の高い海はとっても良かったです。スタッフの方々もフレンドリーで親しみやすかったです。
After the New Year, I went on my honeymoon. I wanted to enjoy the ocean in Hawaii, so I joined this tour.
The breathtakingly clear sea, coral reefs, tropical fish... and sea turtles.
I was able to encounter various creatures living in the ocean.
The guide was efficient and provided detailed and enjoyable explanations.
It became a very memorable tour.
Since you can take photos, a waterproof camera is an essential item!
正月明けに、新婚旅行で行きました。ハワイの海を楽しみたく、このツアーに参加。
息を飲むような透明度の高い海、珊瑚礁、熱帯魚…そしてウミガメ
海に棲む様々な生き物たちに出会えました。
ガイドさんは手際もよく詳しく楽しい説明をしてくださいました。
とても思い出に残るツアーとなりました。
写真も撮れるので、防水機能付きのカメラは必須アイテムです!
The day I participated, it was very windy, so we traveled by boat to the area with the submarine. If you get seasick, be sure to take medication! Once we dove, there was no movement at all, and it was super exciting and thrilling. Luckily, we were able to see turtles and sharks too! The scenery was amazing! The pier where the boat departs and the views during the trip were also fantastic, especially since the weather was great.
参加した日は風が強かったので・・・潜水艦のある沖合までは船での移動。船に酔う方は薬を必ず!
潜ってしまうと全く揺れずめっちゃワクワク・ドキドキでした。運もよく、カメやサメも見ることが出来たので!
また景色がすごくいい!船が出港する桟橋も・・・移動中も・・・天気が良かったせいもあり最高でした。
The blue sky, white clouds, and green sea! Boarding the submarine waiting off the coast of Waikiki, we dove down to a depth of 30 meters. The view from the large window, experienced only by those who have gone, is unforgettable! The sight of beautiful fish and swimming sea turtles, along with fish that make sunken ships their home, was explained perfectly by the Japanese guide. It was truly wonderful! (#^.^#)
青い空に白い雲、そして緑の海!
ワイキキの沖で待つ潜水艦に乗り込み、水深30mまで潜り、一人でひとつの大きな窓からの眺めは、行ったものしかわからない!綺麗な魚やウミガメの泳ぐ姿、沈んだ船を住処にする魚たち、日本語ガイドで、説明もバッチリいや~良かったです(#^.^#)
Looking out at the sea from the submarine feels quite similar to an aquarium, but there's a sense of freedom with the fish swimming in various directions, and the excitement of not knowing what creatures you might see. I think it's definitely enjoyable. When I participated, I was able to see sharks and the sight of sea turtles swimming (though they usually tend to stay still). I do wish the travel time and the time for boarding and disembarking from the submarine were a bit shorter, but there's not much that can be done about that. I think it's best to join the experience with a relaxed mindset, enjoying the cruising as well.
潜水艦の窓から海を見た感じは水族館とあまり変わらない気もしますが、魚の泳ぐ方向が一定でなく自由な感じだったり、どんな生き物が見られるかわからないワクワク感があったり、十分楽しめると思います。
私が参加したときは、サメが見られたり、ウミガメが泳ぐ姿が見られたり(普段はじっとしていることが多いそうですが)しました。
あとはもう少し移動時間や潜水艦への乗降時間が短いといいな、と思いますが、こればっかりは仕方ないですね。クルージングも楽しむつもりでのんびり参加すればいいと思います。
By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.
I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii. I saw mother and baby whales a few times, but it was just for a moment. I enjoyed the scenery from the boat, and the breeze felt nice, so I'm glad I participated.
The inside of the boat was too cold due to the air conditioning. I wished I had brought a jacket.
ハワイに来て初めて船に乗りました。親子のクジラ何度か見えました。一瞬でした。船から景色も楽しめて風も気持ち良くて参加して良かったです。
船内はク−ラ−がききすぎて寒かったです。上着を持っていけば良かったなぁと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
During this season's cruise, we were able to see mother and baby whales quite often.
The sight of them swimming together is truly adorable.
We are very pleased that you were able to catch a glimpse of them, even for a moment.
Many restaurants and buses in Hawaii tend to be overly air-conditioned, so I think it would be a good idea to carry something to wear over your clothes.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
今シーズンのクルーズでは鯨の親子を良く見る事ができました。
親子で泳いでいる姿は本当に可愛いですよね。
お客様にもその姿を一瞬でもご覧いただけて、大変嬉しく思います。
ハワイのレストランやバスはとてもクーラーがききすぎている所が多いので、上に羽織るものを持ち歩くと良いと思います。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同、心よりお待ち申し上げております。

My daughter wanted to go snorkeling on her graduation trip with five friends, so we signed up. After returning home, her feedback was that everything was fantastic. The activities at the sandbar, the time management, and the meals were all plentiful and delicious. The captain who cooked for us was also a wonderful person, and the staff seemed very kind. They even got to see sea turtles, which was truly moving! Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and we would love to participate again the next time we visit Hawaii.
娘が友達5人での卒業旅行でシュノーケリングがしたいというので申し込みしました。帰国後の感想は、すべてに於いて最高のようでした。サンドバーでのアクティビティ、時間配分、食事もボリュウム満点でとても美味しく、調理してくれたキャプテンも素敵な方・・スタッフも親切だったようです。ウミガメにも本当に会えて感動!とにかく大満足で次回渡ハするときはまた参加したいですね。
Great trip. Enjoyed the catamaran trip to the sandbar followed by snorkeling and volleyball in the water; the burgers were great and snorkeling later with the turtles and fish was awesome! Highly recommended for anyone!
Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!
Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici
First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared
I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old and 0-year-old children.
I had many worries about bringing a baby, but I was truly moved by the beauty of the ocean. The water was cold, and we returned to the boat once, but since we had come all this way and the sky and sea were so beautiful, I thought it would be a waste to just watch from the boat. So, I held the baby and went into the water, which was waist-deep. However, in the shallows, it was only knee-deep.
I had heard that we couldn't use a stroller, so my husband and I took turns holding the baby. Fortunately, the baby didn't cry, which was a relief.
The BBQ burgers on the boat were delicious. While enjoying the beautiful ocean view, we ate hamburgers and listened to a lot of Hawaiian music, making it a relaxing day.
We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were able to see a turtle popping its head out of the water from the boat.
Since the boat was full, I thought it was a bit cramped for us with all our luggage.
旦那さんと4歳と0歳の子供を連れて参加しました
赤ちゃん連れで心配な事もたくさんありましたが本当に海のキレイさに感動しました。海が冷たくて一度船に戻りましたが、せっかく来たしこんなに空と海がキレイなのに、船からみてるのはもったいないと思い赤ちゃんを抱っこして腰までの深さの海に入りました。でも浅瀬へ行くと膝ぐらいの深さでした
ベビーカーは使えないと聞いてたのでずっと旦那さんと赤ちゃんを交代で抱っこしてました
幸い泣き叫ぶこともなくてよかったです
船上でのBBQバーガーは美味しかったです
キレイな海を眺めながらハンバーガーを食べてたくさんのハワイアンミュージックを歌ってもらいのんびりした一日となりました
シュノーケルはできませんでしたが、船からカメが顔を出してる所を見ることができました
船内は満席だったため荷物の多い私達には少し狭かったかなと思いました
I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!
In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.
One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m
As I saw in the movie, the sandbar where it suddenly becomes shallow was a very mysterious and wonderful place. The clarity of the seawater was indeed high, but it was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy that day. I hope to go on a sunny day next time. However, I was able to see many turtles and fish, and the staff's service was great, so I was very satisfied. I definitely look forward to visiting again!
映画で見たとおり、そこだけ急に浅瀬になっているサンドバーは、とても不思議で素敵な場所でした。
海水の透明度もさすがに高かったのですが、当日は曇り空だったので、それだけはちょっと残念でした。次回は晴れの日に行きたいなと思います。でも、亀もお魚もたくさん見れたし、スタッフの応対も良かったので大満足です。
また、是非宜しくお願いします!!
I wanted to join the recommended plan, but due to scheduling conflicts with other tours, I participated in the early morning plan.
The Japanese guide (a woman) kept the atmosphere lively with jokes and provided clear instructions at the sea turtle viewing points. I was able to see many more sea turtles than I had expected, and I even spotted baby turtles.
After the sea turtle viewing, we moved to the sandbar. The weather was nice, but the seawater was cold... (though it was fine once I got used to it). The scenery was just as beautiful as I had seen in photos!
After that, we went snorkeling, but contrary to my expectations, the visibility wasn't very good, and I felt like I hardly saw any fish. Additionally, the water was quite deep, and the current seemed relatively fast, so I recommend that those who are not experienced with snorkeling definitely use the floatation devices provided by the staff. (As a beginner, I found it tough without one.)
Overall, I think the tour is enjoyable, with all the staff being friendly and cheerful.
おすすめプランに参加したかったのですが、
他のツアーとの時間の兼ね合いで早朝プランへ参加しました。
日本人ガイドの方(女性)がジョークも交えつつ
盛り上げてくれ、ウミガメ観賞ポイントでは
ポイントをきちんと教えてくれました。
予想していた以上にウミガメが沢山見られ、
更には子ガメも発見できました。
ウミガメ観賞後はサンドバーへ移動。
天気は良かったのですが、海水は冷たかった・・・
(慣れてしまえば平気ですが)
写真で見ていたのと同じ風景ですごく綺麗でした!
そのあと、シュノーケリングをしましたが、
こちらは予想に反してあまり透明度が無く、
魚もほとんど見られなかったように感じます。
しかも水深は結構深く、流れも比較的早いように思うので、
シュノーケリングに不慣れな方は、スタッフが貸してくれる浮き棒?を必ず使うことをお勧めします。
(私は初心者だったのでこれがないときつかったです)
全体的にはスタッフの方も全員フレンドリーで明るく、
楽しく過ごせるツアーだと思います。
I participated on Sunday, April 29, during Golden Week. I expected it to be crowded, but perhaps due to the slightly chilly weather and light rain in the afternoon, there were fewer people. Everything flowed smoothly except for the Raging River, and I was able to enjoy all the attractions, which made me very satisfied. The bodyboarding was especially fun; we rented the large wave pool for 30 minutes with 88 people and got to ride the waves to our heart's content. I was a beginner, but the instructor timed it perfectly to help me catch the waves, allowing me to enjoy it multiple times.
For the Island Racer and Raging River, it's better to ride early when it's less crowded since they switch every 30 minutes. Both are popular attractions. The most thrilling and scary ride was Shaka. This ride also stops every 30 minutes, so it's wise to ride it while it's less busy. I don't think there are many attractions with this level of thrill in Japan, so families with children will definitely enjoy it.
Lunch was a buffet with all-you-can-eat options including hot dogs, rice, fried chicken, spare ribs, beef steak, salad, and fruit. Although the selection was limited, the beef was very tender, juicy, and delicious. Of course, I was able to go back for seconds, which made me very happy. Drinks were available at a bar-like area in the center of the pool, where you could drink as much as you wanted. Many people came without lunch, but there was only one food court. They sold pizza, hot dogs, local foods, and desserts, but I think it’s more economical to sign up for the lunch package with unlimited drinks.
Overall, it was a very satisfying day. The bus transportation was in a large bus that took us right to the front entrance, and we arrived before opening. We were able to stay until after 3 PM, which was great, but time flew by because we were having so much fun, and I wanted to play even more. So next time, I plan to rent a car and spend a full day there.
I think riding the popular attractions "Raging River, Shaka, and Tornado" in the morning will make it easier to get around later. When we went, the Island Racer was popular, and since four people can start at the same time, the wait time was very short, allowing us to enjoy it three times in a row. After the rain, it got a bit chilly, so we were able to warm up in the jacuzzi. Going with a large family will definitely make for an exciting time!
4/29GWの日曜日に参加。混んでいるだろうと予測しておりましたが当日は少し肌寒く午後からは小雨も降ったせいか人が少なくレイジングリバー以外はスムーズに流れすべてのアトラクションを制覇する事が出来てとても満足でした。何と言ってもボディボードは大きな波のプール88人で30分貸し切って思いっきり波に乗る事が出来ました。私は初心者でしたがインストラクターの方がタイミングを見計らってうまく波に乗せてくれるので何度も何度も楽しむ事ができました。アイランドレーサー&レイジングリバーは30分交代なので空いている時は早目に乗る方がいいです。どちらも人気があるアトラクションです。1番スリル満点で怖かったのはシャカです。こちらも30分に1度運転停止になるので空いている間に乗るのが賢いです。まあ日本ではこんなにスリルがあるアトラクションはないと思うので家族ずれの子供なんかはとても喜ぶと思います。ランチは食べ放題のビュッフェ付きでホットドック、ご飯、唐揚げ、スペアリブ、牛肉のステーキ、サラダ、フルーツと品数は少なかったのですがこちらの牛肉がとても柔らかくてジューシーでとても美味しかったです。勿論何回もおかわりが出来て大満足でした。ドリンクは食事以外でもプール中央辺りにあるバーの様な所で好きなだけ飲めました。お昼ご飯を付けずに来ていた人が多かったのですがフードコートは1箇所。ピザやホットドック、ローカル食べ物からデザート迄販売されてましたがランチ付きドリンク飲み放題で申込をした方がお得だと思いました。全体的にとても満足な1日でした。バスでの送迎も大型バスで正面玄関迄送ってくれるし開店前には現地到着、帰りは15時過ぎ迄ととても満足の行く時間迄滞在出来ましたが楽しくて時間が経つのが早くもっともっと遊んでいたかったです。なので次回はレンタカーを借りて丸1日遊んでみたいと思います。とにかく人気アトラクション「レイジングリバー・シャカ・トルネード」は午前中に乗っておくと後が廻りやすくなると思います。私達が行った時は「アイランドレーサー」が人気でしたが1度に4人が同時にスタートが出来るので廻ってくる順番がとても早く私達も3回一気に楽しみました。雨が降った後少し肌寒くなったのでジャグジーで体を温める事も出来ました。家族大勢で行くと盛り上がる事間違いなしです。
It was disappointing that the sandbar wasn't fully exposed since we participated close to high tide. However, the water level was about knee-deep, so we had fun playing volleyball with other participants.
The subsequent turtle watching from the boat and snorkeling at the coral reef were also great. Even without scuba diving, we were able to interact with tropical fish.
満潮に近い時間帯での参加だったのでサンドバーが完全には露出していなかったのが残念です。でも、水位は膝下くらいなので、アクティビティ参加者同士で、バレーボールをして楽しめました。
その後の船上からのウミガメ観賞やサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも良かったです。スキューバダイビングをせずとも熱帯魚と戯れることができました。
I wanted to forget the daily hustle and bustle, so I joined the tour alone and relaxed.
As we headed out to the sea by boat, a beautiful sandy beach suddenly appeared, which felt quite magical.
I checked the low tide times in advance, so everything went according to plan! I was able to see the sandbar.
Depending on the time, the sandbar may not be fully visible, so I definitely recommend checking the low tide times before participating.
Several sea turtles showed up, and I was able to take great photos!!
Since I was the only one participating alone, the staff were very attentive, and thanks to them, I had a wonderful time.
日頃の喧騒を忘れたくて
のんびり、ひとりで参加しました。
沖まで船で向うと、きれいな砂浜が突然姿を現す
不思議な感覚でした。
前もって干潮の時間を調べて参加したので、
予定どおり!~サンドバーを見ることができました。
時間によってはサンドバーが完全に出ないこともあるので、
絶対に干潮の時間を調べて参加することをおすすめします。
海ガメも何匹も姿を見せてくれて、
バッチリ写真が取れました!!
私だけひとり参加だったためか、スタッフの方がすごく気遣ってくれて、
おかげですごく楽しめました。
I visited the prestigious Dolphin University. It was truly amazing to swim right next to the dolphins, and I could even hear their calls, like "kyu."
However, be careful about the timing, as it can get quite cold. We went during Golden Week, but I didn't expect it to be this chilly. They do provide wetsuits for rent, but it costs an additional $10. Even with the wetsuit, it was still cold... The kids ended up going back to the boat because it was too cold for them.
However, the representatives and local staff were very friendly and attentive, so I highly recommend it!
名門イルカ大学に行ってきました。本当にイルカのそばで泳ぐことができ、しかも「キュー」なんているかの鳴き声まで聞こえちゃう、とても最高でした。
しかし、時期を考えないと結構寒いのでご注意を。私達はGWに行きましたが、まさかこんなに寒いとは。ウエットスーツを貸し出してくれますが、別料金で10$かかります。
ウェット着ても寒いですが・・・
子供達はあまりにもの寒さに途中で船に上がってしまいました。
しかし代表の方をはじめ、ローカルスタッフもとても気さく、かつ面倒見も良いのでオススメですよ!
Interacting with dolphins like that is amazing! The price is high, but I think it's worth it. It's not something you can experience often. It became the best memory!
あんなにイルカと触れ合えるなんて最高です!
値段も高いですが、その価値もあると思います。
なかなか体験出来ることじゃないですからね~
最高の思い出になりました!
I participated in September of the year before last. The sandbar was very beautiful. There was a lot of lunch prepared, but it was disappointing that when our turn came, the staff hurried us to "please get into the water quickly," so we couldn't eat much.
I thought the water temperature would be low, so I brought a wetsuit top from Japan. Since I was wearing this, I didn't feel too cold, but most of the other participants were in swimsuits or rash guards and were shivering after getting back on the boat. Many people got cold, and the number of participants for the second snorkeling session significantly decreased. I thought it would be nice if they provided wetsuits given the water temperature.
I think it would be fine during warmer periods, but in the fall, it's a good idea to prepare for the cold. I'm glad we used a tour since it's a place we couldn't go to on our own.
参加したのは一昨年の9月です。
サンドバーとってもきれいでした。
ランチもたくさん用意されていましたが、自分たちの順番が回ってきて「早く海に入ってください」とスタッフに急かされあまり食べられなかったのが残念でした。
水温は低いだろうと思って日本からウエットスーツ素材の上着を持参しました。
これを着ていたので寒さはあまり感じませんでしたが、他の参加者はほとんどの方が水着やラッシュだったのでボートに上がってから震えていました。
体が冷えてしまった人が多くて、2度目のシュノーケリングは参加者が激減。
あの水温だったらウエットスーツを貸してくれたらいいのになと思いました。
水温が高い時期なら問題ないと思いますが、秋だと寒さ対策をしておくといいと思います。
自分たちだけでは行けないところなのでツアーを利用してよかったです。
Thank you for using our services.

This was my second visit to Wet 'n' Wild, and it was still a lot of fun. Perhaps because it was a weekday, not all the slides were open, so I was disappointed that I couldn't ride everything I wanted.
If I could have stayed an extra 30 minutes, I would have enjoyed it even more... After factoring in time for lunch and changing, the actual time to play was surprisingly short.
2度目のウェット・アンド・ワイルドでしたが、やはり楽しかったです。平日だったせいか、すべてのスライダーがオープンしてなくて、乗りたいものに乗れなかったのが残念。
帰りの時間をあと30分でも遅くしてもらえるともっと楽しめたのに…お昼食べて着替えの時間を入れると正味遊べる時間が意外に少ない。
Thank you for using our services. We are also pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sliders at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.
Please understand that while we strive to have all attractions available during your stay, operating hours may vary depending on the season. We will share your valuable feedback about wanting to enjoy the attractions for a longer time with the operating company.

Snorkeling is not enjoyable; you can only look at a few corals, and it's a bit tough without fins. The lunch on the boat was just okay.
シュノ−ケリングは楽しめません、わずかなサンゴを眺めるだけ、フィンなしでは少々辛い。船上のランチは、まあまあかな。

It was a little cold, but I was very satisfied because I could see a beautiful ocean and got close enough to touch a sea turtle! It’s not cold once you’re in the water, but the wind on the boat after getting out of the sea is chilly, so I think it’s a good idea to have one piece of warm clothing.
I’m thinking I want to go again!
ちょっとだけ寒かったけど、とってもきれいな海が見れ、ウミガメにも手で触れる距離くらい近く接近できたので満足です!
海の中に入れば寒くないのですが、海から上がったあとの船上で受ける風が寒いので、防寒具は1枚あったほうがいいと思います。
また行きたいなーと思っています!
It seems that the weather around the sandbar can be unstable. When I participated, it was sunny and about 28 degrees in Waikiki, but Kaneohe Bay was cloudy with some rain. However, I was able to see the sandbar, so it was still a lot of fun.
Advice for those participating:
It's better to prepare for the cold!!
(Check the weather in Kaneohe Bay on the day, not Waikiki.)
If you have long-sleeved swimwear for surfing, and a jacket and something like sweatpants to wear after getting out of the water, you won't feel cold. (The guide was wearing a windbreaker...)
If the weather is clear, it's the best. The burgers for lunch are delicious!
サンドバーのあたりは、天候が不安定みたいです。
参加した時も、ワイキキは、晴天28度くらいだったけど、カネオヘ湾は、曇って雨もパラついていました。でも、サンドバーはみれたので、やっぱり楽しかったです。
参加される方へのアドバイス:
寒さ対策あったほうがいいです!!
(ワイキキではなく、当日のカネオヘ湾の天気チェックしてください。)
サーフィン用などの、長袖水着とか、海から上がったあと、上着と、下にはくジャージの様な物もあれば、寒くないです。(ガイドさんは、ウインドブレーカーきてました・・)
天気晴れたら、最高です。お昼のバーガーおいしいです~!
