All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The pickup bus for the transfer is clearly marked with "Dolphin University," making it easy to find.
I had pre-ordered the breakfast malasadas, and the staff picked them up for us to enjoy on the boat.
We arrived at Waianae Harbor in about an hour from Waikiki!
During the ride, the bus provided explanations about dolphins, safety instructions for the boat, and also guided us through sightseeing spots.
There was no time to sleep on the bus; it seemed like they wanted us to be alert so we could swim as soon as we arrived.

After arriving at the harbor, we switched to the Island Princess and set off!

Once on board, we immediately sang a chant for safety and offered fresh flowers to the sea, performing an 'ehomai' ceremony.

Then, we moved to the point where the dolphins are located.
We were very lucky on the day we participated, as we quickly encountered a dolphin known as "Spinner Dolphin," who showed us many spins and jumps.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even though it was June, it was a good decision to rent one since the wind was cold after getting out of the water. Even if there’s no wind on land, it can be windy on the water, so I recommend it for those who are sensitive to cold.
My husband is not a strong swimmer, but they took good care of him. He could hold onto a rope and be pulled along.

There were also young children in early elementary school participating.

After that, we moved to another location.
We swam with Professor Turtle and tropical fish.
At that time, they provided bread as fish food, and many fish gathered around when we fed them. It was really fun.

You can also try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking! Participation is not mandatory.
Stand-up paddleboarding seems to require good balance, so those who struggle with balance might find it difficult.

The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious. If you don’t like cheese, you can request it without cheese in advance.
There were also drinks like water and warm tea available, along with some snacks.

After lunch, we had hula dancing. At first, I felt a bit shy, but by the end, I was dancing happily and energetically.
(My husband was dancing enthusiastically from the start.)

There were about two people who got seasick, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it’s advisable to take medication beforehand.
In case you feel like you might vomit on the boat, they provide a bucket called the "Aloha Bucket."
(It seems that vomiting in the restroom can cause clogs and lead to bigger problems later…)

送迎のピックアップバスはイルカ大学って書いてあるから、わかりやすいです。
朝食のマラサダは事前に注文済で、スタッフが取りに行って、船の上で食べました。
ワイキキから１時間程でワイアナエハーバーへ到着！！
その間バスの中はイルカの説明や船の上の注意事項の他に、観光名所も案内してくれました。
バスの中は寝る暇はありません。着いたらすぐ泳げるように頭を起こしてくれているみたいです。

港に到着後、アイランドプリンセス号に乗り換えて、出発！！

乗船後、さっそく安全を祈りチャントを歌い生花を海に捧げ、エホマイを行います。

そして、イルカのいるポイントまで移動。
私たちが参加した日はすごくラッキーで、すぐにイルカ先生こと「スピナードルフィン」と遭遇。スピンをしてジャンプをたくさん見せてくれました。
１０ドルでウェットスーツをレンタルできます。６月だけど、海から上がると風が冷たいので借りて正解でした。陸上が風が吹いてなくても、海上は吹いてたりするので寒がりの方にはお勧めです。
私の夫は泳ぐのが苦手なのですが、ちゃんと配慮して頂きました。ロープにつかまっていれば引っ張って行ってもらえます。

小学校低学年のお子さんも参加していました。

その後、更に場所に移動。
カメ教授とトロピカルフィッシュとも一緒に泳ぎました。
その時に餌となるパンをくれます。餌付けするとたくさんの魚が寄ってきます。すごく面白いです。

スタンドアップ・パドルとシーカヤックも体験できます！強制ではないです。
スタンドアップ・パドルはバランス感覚が重要のようで、苦手な人は苦手かも…。

お昼ごはんのチーズバーガーもおいしかったです。チーズ苦手な人は事前に言えば、チーズなしにしてもらえます。
飲み物は水や温かいお茶もありました。スナックも出ました。

昼食後はフラダンスです。最初は恥ずかしいとも思いましたが、最後の方はノリノリに楽しく踊れました。
（私の旦那は最初からノリノリで踊ってました）

船酔いになっていた方も２人位いたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要です。事前に飲まれていく事をお勧めします。
万が一、船上で吐きたくなったら「アロハバケツ」と呼ばれるバケツを貸してくれます。
（トイレで吐かれると詰まったりして、後々大変なようです…）

I think the timing of the tides played a role, as I was in water above my knees and it wasn't great.

The weather suddenly turned bad, and I was soaked and cold while moving by boat.

When switching from the bus to the boat, I was the last one to board and had to wait quite a bit, which was a bit frustrating.

I joined because of the high ratings from others, but I'm feeling like maybe that's enough for me.

満ち引きの時期が関係していると思うが、膝以上海につかっている状態でいまいちだった。

天気も突然悪くなり、ボートで移動中もびしょびしょで寒さもつらかった。

バスからボートに乗り換えるとき、一番最後にされ、かなり待たされたのも少し不満。

他の方の評価が高くて参加したが、もういいかなという感じ

I was so impressed. Right off the plane was a girl holding a sign with our names and put our leis on us. They were beautiful. The girl was wonderful. She was genuinely friendly with a huge smile and welcome for us. She then walked us to baggage claim and told us where we were to meet the rental car shuttle. She even took our picture with our camera. This is the Hawaiian greeting I was hoping for but never expected!!! Thank you so much!!! My parents brought our kids a week later and I had the same lei greeting for them. They were pleasantly surprised. I will do this on all of our visits and highly recommend it to everyone!

Fun staff

I participated with a friend. I was really looking forward to it before joining, and it exceeded my expectations on the day. I was able to see many wild dolphins for the first time, and I also got to swim alongside sea turtles right in front of me. Even for those who are not good at swimming, the staff are there to watch over you, so it's very reassuring! This is an activity that you can't experience in Japan, and both the wild dolphins and the staff were very friendly, making it a highly satisfying experience. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.

友人と参加させて頂きました。
参加前からとても楽しみにしており、当日参加してみて期待以上でした。
初めて野生のイルカ先生をたくさん見る事も出来ましたしウミガメも目の前で見ながら一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。泳ぎが得意でない方でもスタッフの方が見守って下さるので安心です！！
日本では体験出来ないアクティビティで野生のイルカ先生はもちろんスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで大満足の体験となりました。
ハワイにまた行く機会があれば絶対参加したいと思います。

My daughter is almost six years old, and I thought this activity would be memorable for her, so we decided to participate. However, I mistakenly set the alarm wrong and woke up just 15 minutes before the meeting time. I called the tour company, but they said they were fully booked for the summer vacation, and it was impossible to reschedule for another day. In a panic, I got ready and took a taxi to the location, and it seemed we passed the tour bus and arrived first. We managed to join the group and participate.

The dolphin encounter time was short, but we got to touch the dolphins and received kisses, which made my child very happy. The pool water was a bit cold, though. The area isn't very large, so the time we spent there was sufficient, and we were able to see the dolphin show as well. I think this is a recommended activity for families with small children.

娘がもうすぐ6歳でこのアクティビティなら、そろそろ記憶に残るだろうと思い、参加しました。
が、・・・・・なんと目覚ましのセットを間違え、目が覚めたのは集合15分前。ツアー会社に電話するも夏休みで予約が一杯な為、他の日への振り替えは無理とのこと。大慌てで準備し、ＴＡＸＩで現地に向かったところ、ツアーバスを追い越したようで、先に到着。何とか合流し、参加することができました。
スタッフの皆さんにご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターの時間は短かったですが、イルカにタッチし、キスをされ、子供は大満足。ちょっとプールの水が冷たかったかな。
園内はそれ程広いわけではないので、滞在時間は十分で、イルカのショーを見ることもできました。
小さいお子さん連れのファミリーにはお勧めのアクティビティだと思います。

Depending on the day, you might encounter dolphins right after setting sail, but on the day I participated, it seemed the wild dolphins were in a different spot, and we had a hard time finding them. However, the staff patiently coordinated and even changed the activity schedule to take us to a location where the dolphin pod was, and in the end, we were able to swim with over 30 dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin, which was incredibly cute!

Since they are wild dolphins, you never know when you'll encounter them, but it is truly moving when you get to swim with them. On the way to see the dolphins, we also encountered wild turtles, and just sitting at the front of the boat allowed us to enjoy the scenery! The staff were cheerful and really uplifting.

After swimming with the dolphins, it was cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear over your swimsuit. There were also small girls participating, and the staff provided excellent support, so they had a great time! Of course, we were able to observe the dolphins as well. It's an emotional experience, so I highly recommend it for families and couples!

日によっては出航してすぐにイルカに遭遇できる時もあるようですが、私が参加した日は野生のイルカが普段と違うポイントにいたようでなかなか出会うことができませんでした。
でも、スタッフの方が根気強く連携を取り、アクティビティーの予定を変えてまでイルカの群れがいるポイントまで連れていって下さり、最終的には３０匹以上のイルカの群れと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
赤ちゃんのイルカもいてとってもかわいかったです♪

野生のイルカなのでどのタイミングで出会えるか分かりませんが、一緒に泳げた時は本当に感動的です。
イルカに会いに行く途中でも野生のカメに遭遇したり、船の先頭で座っているだけでも景色を楽しむことができました！スタッフのみなさんも明るくてとっても元気がでます♪

海でイルカと泳いだ後は寒かったので、水着の上からはおれるものを持参するのがよいと思います。
小さな女の子も参加されていましたが、スタッフが手厚くサポートしていたのですごく楽しめていました！
もちろんイルカも観察できていましたよ♪
感動的な体験ができるので、ご家族にもカップルにもお勧めです☆

This was the perfect way to start our honeymoon! They were there waiting for us with our beautiful leis that lasted for days!!

I participated in the $7.77 tour. There were many interesting attractions, and I had a great time. However, I felt that there might not have been enough staff since when one attraction opened, another one closed. On the day I visited, it was not crowded, so I could ride quickly, but if it had been busy with long wait times, it might have been tough.

I was a bit surprised to see what looked like a dead cockroach in the hallway, and there was also something that resembled a cockroach floating in the lazy river, which honestly made me feel a bit uneasy. I hoped the pool staff would take care of it, but they were just singing without a care, which is typical American behavior. They might not have noticed the bugs, but I wished they would have taken care of it before singing.

The activity guide was very kind. There were explanations on the bus, and they stayed inside for a while, which was helpful because I could ask questions if I didn't understand something.

When I wanted to take a photo on the way back, the pool staff happily agreed with a big smile. Additionally, while I was trying to take individual photos at the entrance, a returning guest (a foreigner) offered to take a picture for us, which was very touching. I thought it was something you don't often see in Japan.

It was definitely enjoyable for couples, but I think it's the perfect place for kids. However, there are height restrictions for each attraction, so I think it's better for those who are at least elementary school age.

＄7.77ツアーで参加しました。
面白いアトラクションが多く楽しめました。
ただ一つのアトラクションが開くと一つのアトラクションが閉まるのでスタッフの人数が足りないのかな・・・と感じました。
あと行った日は空いていたのですぐに乗れましたがもし混んでいて待ち時間が長かったらしんどいかもしれないです。

通路のところにゴキブリらしきものが死んでいてちょっとビックリしましたが流れるプールにもゴキブリらしきものが浮いていてさすがにちょっと・・・嫌な気分になりました。
プールのスタッフの人が取ってくれたら良いのですが、そこはさすがアメリカンで何も気にせず歌を歌っていたりでした。虫の存在に気付いてないかもですが、私からしたらお願いだから歌う前にとって欲しかったです。

アクティビティのガイドさんはとっても優しかったです。
バス内でも説明がありますが中に入ってしばらく居てくれるので分からない事は聞いたりできて助かりました。

帰りに写真を撮ろうと思いプールのスタッフの方にお願いすると満面の笑みでOKしてくれました。
他にも入り口のところで一人ずつ撮ろうとしていたら帰りのお客さん（外国人の方）が向こうから写真を撮ろうか？って言ってきてくれて優しさに感動しました。
日本ではなかなかない事だなと思いました。

カップルでも十分楽しめたけど、お子さんには最高の場所と思います。
ただアトラクションごとに身長制限があるので小学生以上くらいの方が良いと思います。

We participated as a family of four, including our 5-year-old and 9-year-old sons. During our dolphin watching tour in Guam, we felt somewhat unsatisfied just watching dolphins from the boat. That's why we were really looking forward to "swimming with the dolphins" this time. Our strong sons, who mastered snorkeling at the age of four and have often played with fish in overseas waters, dove into the sea without any hesitation, despite the staff's concerns! On this day, we couldn't get close to the dolphins, and we desperately chased them around at the staff's signals. It was quite challenging... However, when we saw the dolphins swimming right beneath us, we were moved. Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, whether they come close enough to touch is a matter of luck. We wished we could have seen them up close and heard their cries, but we look forward to next time. We also encountered about four turtles. For those with small children, you can enjoy watching dolphins from the boat, but opportunities to swim with them are rare. If you're considering having your child try snorkeling, I recommend buying a MY mask and practicing in the bath (that's how our kids mastered its use) to prepare for the real experience. It should be a great experience!

5歳＆9歳の息子を含む家族4人で参加しました。グアムのイルカウォッチングツアー参加の際は、ただ船の上からイルカをみるだけで何となく物足りなさを感じていました。それだけに、今回は『イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!』と楽しみにしていました。4歳からシュノーケルをマスターし、度々海外の海で魚と戯れてきたスイミングにも通うたくましい息子達は、スタッフの心配をよそに難なく海へダイブ!!この日はなかなかイルカに近づけず、スタッフの合図であっちこっち必死にイルカを追いかけました。それがなかなかハードで・・・。でも、イルカが自分達の真下を泳ぐ姿を目にした時は感動しました。野生のイルカが相手なだけに、手が届きそうな距離まで近づいてきてくれるかは運次第ですね。もっと近くで見たかった＆泣き声を聞きたかったなどありますが、次回へ期待します。カメも4匹程遭遇しました。小さなお子様連れの方、船上からでもイルカの姿を見て楽しむ事が出来ますが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐチャンスはそうありません。もし、我が子にシュノーケルに挑戦させたいとお考えでしたら、MYマスクを購入してお風呂で特訓(我が家の子供達はこうして使い方をマスターしました)して本番に備えてみて下さい。良い体験が出来るはずです!

The Hawaiian Lei my girlfriend received as we departed the airplane was a complete surprise and began our trip on a perfect note. The Lei was beautiful! and she wore it all 4 days we were in Hawaii and took it home to the mainland. She received numerous compliments as we walked throughtout Waikiki.

I was energized by meeting the dolphin teacher! I could really feel the staff's love for the dolphins and their passion for Dolphin University.

However, I was a bit put off by the final DVD sales... Also, the quality of the images attached to the email after returning home was disappointing, especially since I was satisfied with the content.

イルカ先生に会えて元気をもらいました♪
スタッフの方のイルカに対する愛情とイルカ大学に対する情熱をひしひしと感じました。

ただ、最後のＤＶＤの販売はちょっと引きました・・・。
そして、帰国後のメールに添付してもらっていた画像の粗さ･･･内容は満足だっただけに残念です。

We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.

This is my second time participating. Last time, a few years ago, I joined an afternoon tour, but the weather wasn't great and I couldn't really feel the sandbar due to the tide. So, I made sure to check the low tide times and aimed for a day when the sandbar would be visible.

I participated in the morning tour on May 24th. I was surprised that there were more participants than expected, and we had to split into two groups. It seems everyone does their research. The weather was absolutely perfect, and just as I hoped, I was able to see the sandbar, which was beautiful. Well, there isn't much to do on the sandbar other than take pictures, but just gazing at the sparkling sea was very soothing.

During snorkeling, a friendly turtle appeared, and for a brief moment, I was able to swim close to it, which was a rare experience. I also saw a lot of fish.

After snorkeling, there was a light meal included, and it was surprisingly delicious. The warm coffee was a lifesaver.

Since the sandbar is the main attraction, I think it's better to check the low tide times properly; the weather is a matter of luck. It's also cold after snorkeling, so it's good to have something to wear.

今回は２回目の参加です。
前回は数年前に午後のツアーに参加したのですが、
お天気も良くなく潮の引き具合からサンドバーをイマイチ感じられなかったので
きちんと干潮の時間を調べ、サンドバーが出る日を狙っていきました。

５月２４日の朝のツアーに参加しました。
参加者が予想以上に多く２グループに分かれたりして、ビックリしました。
やはり皆さん調べてくるんですね。
天気は最高によく、狙い通りにサンドバーを見ることができて、綺麗の一言。
ま、サンドバーでは写真を撮るだけで他にすることはないですが、
キラキラした海を眺めているだけで癒されました。

シュノーケルではツアーガイドさん達に懐いてるカメさんが現れて
一瞬ですが近くで泳ぐことができ、貴重な体験ができました。
他にもお魚さんがたくさん見れました。

シュノーケルのあとに、軽食がついていたのですが、予想以上にすごくおいしかったです。
あたたかいコーヒーに救われました。


やはりサンドバーがメインなので干潮をきちんと調べていったほうが良いかと思います、天気は運次第ですが。
シュノーケルの後は寒いので羽織るものはあったほうがよいです。

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.

On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.

The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.

I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.

ハワイ６回目にして、初めてあこがれのサンドバーに行きました。

向かう途中のバスの中でも（英語でしたが）ガイドさんの話が面白くて退屈しませんでしたし、船も楽しかったです。
ファミリーでの参加、しかも４歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。

残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。

今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。

The shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel, so I threw on a hoodie over my swimsuit and off we went! The bus arrived before the park opened, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, our whole family had a great time.

There were various attractions, including slides and tubes, accommodating from one person up to six people. We didn't set up lunch, but you can buy hot dogs, pizza, and hamburgers inside the park.

The changing rooms can't exactly be called clean, but that's the same in Japan. It might have been because it was less crowded, but we had a full day of fun, and unlike Japanese pools, there were no extra charges for the large slides, so you can slide down as many times as you want. I wouldn't say the price is too high... (of course, cheaper is always better).

ホテルまで送迎バスが迎えに来てくれるので水着の上にパーカー羽織っていざ出発！
開園前にバスは到着し、待つ事１０分。
家族全員楽しんで来ました。
そのまま滑るスライダーやチューブ（浮輪）に乗って滑るスライダーなど様々ですが、１人乗から最大６人乗まで楽しめました。
お昼はセットしませんでしたが、園内でホットドックやピザ、ハンバーガーなどが買えます。
更衣室はお世辞にもキレイとは言えませんが、それは日本も同じ事。
空いてたからかも知れませんが、１日楽しめて日本のプールのように大型スライダーは別料金と言った事が無いので、何度も滑れるのでお値段的にも高すぎるって事はないかな・・？（もちろん安い方がいいけど）

this place was great,,,everyone should see this

I participated with my mother and son. My mother, who is in the silver generation, also challenged herself on the slide, and it seemed she enjoyed it because she rode together with us on the two-person and three-person slides. My elementary school son had a great time and kept sliding down so many times that it was almost persistent (laughs). Since the local children were already on summer vacation in June, I thought it would be crowded on the weekends, so we went on a Monday. Thanks to that, it was not crowded, and we could use almost all the slides without waiting in line. The facilities for small children's pools are also well-equipped, so even little kids can have fun. Life jackets of all sizes were available for free rental. I think our family will go again next time.

母と息子と参加しました。
シルバー世代の母もスライダーに挑戦しましたが、２人乗りや３人乗りに一緒に乗ったので安心だったみたいで楽しんでました。
小学生の息子は、それはそれは楽しんで、しつこいくらいに何度も滑ってました(笑）
６月で現地の子供はすでに夏休みだったので、土日は混み合うと思い、月曜日に行きました。
おかげで空いていたので、どのスライダーもほとんど並ばずに利用できました。
小さな子供用のプールも施設が充実していますので、小さなお子さんでも楽しめます。
ライフベストも各サイズが揃って無料貸出されてました。
我が家は次回もまた行くと思います。

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.
