Oahu
I participated in Royal Swim with my 8-year-old daughter. The instructions are in English, but as long as you watch the person in front of you, there are no problems. I was worried because I read that it can be difficult for children with small feet, but my daughter was praised by the trainer after she managed to get her knees above the water, so she was in a great mood. It seems that the trick is to apply pressure with the soles of your feet towards the front. We had a wonderful experience swimming with the adorable dolphins.
ロイヤルスイムに８歳の娘と参加しました。
説明は英語ですが、前の人を見ていれば、問題ありません。
書き込みで、足の小さい子供は難しいとあり心配でしたが、
膝まで水面に上がりトレーナーに褒められたので、
娘は上機嫌でした。
どうやら足裏は手前に力を入れるるのがコツのようです。
可愛いいるかと泳げて、良い体験が出来ました。

We participated as a family.
There were many inflatable slide attractions, and even the adults had a lot of fun.
It’s a primitive system where you receive an inflatable ring from those who have finished and carry it back to the starting position yourself.
The BBQ chicken was delicious, but it felt like a waste of time to eat.
It was disappointing that the attractions were suddenly interrupted, possibly due to staff breaks or inspections.
The wave pool had waves that were almost painfully strong, which was entertaining.
The kids were thrilled and said they want to go again.
家族で参加しました。
浮き輪のスライダーが多くあり、大人もかなり楽しめました。
終わった人から浮き輪をもらい、自分達でスタート位置まで運ぶという原始的なシステムです。
ＢＢＱはチキンが美味しかったですが、食べる時間も勿体ないくらいでした。
スタッフの休憩時間なのか、点検なのか、突然アトラクションが中断されるのが残念でした。
波のプールは痛いくらい強い波で、面白かったです。
子供は大喜びで、また行きたいそうです。

On the day of the event, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sea was incredibly clear and calm—it was the best! We got to meet the dolphins multiple times, and each time, I jumped into the water to swim with them. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the turtles, but I had a great time swimming with colorful fish that looked like something out of a fairy tale and kayaking. My son still talks about how delicious the cheeseburger he had on the boat was since we returned to Japan. The staff members were very cheerful and made it a fun experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
参加日当日はお天気にも恵まれて、とっ~ても海がきれいで穏やかで最高でした。イルカ先生達にも何度も会えて、その度に海に飛び込んでイルカ先生達と同じ海を泳ぐことができました。カメ先生の姿は私は残念ながら見ることはできませんでしたが、竜宮城のような色とりどりの魚達と一緒に泳いだりカヤックに乗ったり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。息子は船上で食べたチーズバーガーがとっても美味しかったっと日本に帰ってきた今でもよく話しています。
スタッフの方々もとっても明るくて楽しかったです。また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいと思いました。

We participated as a family of four, and the sandbar was beautifully exposed, making it absolutely stunning. There weren't many fish while snorkeling, but we were able to spot about ten sea turtles from the boat, which made the kids very happy. On the way back, it was a bit cold due to the strong wind, but I definitely want to go back to that beautiful paradise of a sea again.
家族４人で参加しましたが、ちょうどサンドバーも綺麗に
でていて最高に綺麗でした。
シュノーケルはそんなに魚はいっぱいいませんでしたが、船からは海亀も１０匹くらい見つけられて子供たちも大喜びでした。
帰りは風が強くて少し寒かったですが、とっても綺麗な天国の海また是非行きたいです。

We have been to this water park for the last 5 years in a row. We have four teens and they want to go each year. There are more rides now and the kids are occupied the entire time. We don't pay extra for the buffet because it is not really that enjoyable for teenagers. They prefer the hamburgers and fries that they can get whenever they want. The buffet is more multicultural and more formal. They do not have enough poolside chairs and alot of parents sit on the grass by the lazy river. The parents would float longer in the lazy river but there are not enough inner tubes and you have to get out of the lazy river after one turn around and get back in line. For parents in there 40's or even 50's that becomes tiresome. There is a hot tub for adults over 21 but it is not open the entire time. As far as the kids are concerned this place gets 5 ***** stars! They have a really great time and love it! If they love it then I want to take them:)
OUTSTANDING.
This may not be the best for younger kids but if they have any interest in the worlds history then this will be perfect. The memorial is breathtaking and a real tear jerker. I would recommend anyone visiting Oahu must see it. We had a mix up on the pickup location so we got on the bus about 30 minutes late but still made the memorial with plenty of time before our showing of the movie. The place is great and the stories behind it our sobering. The Mighty Mo is great for the whole family. Lots of cool things to touch and see. The tour continues with the downtown trip and punch bowl drive through. Both were well timed and needed after the long day of walking.
When I went before, it was Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. I was wondering if the essence remained the same even with the name change. However, the slides and attractions had changed, and it had become a park that my middle school-aged sons could enjoy. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Hawaii.
以前に行ったときは、
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャーパークでした。
名前は変わっても中身は一緒かなー？なんて思ってました。
でも、スライダーとかも変わっていて、中学生の息子達も
楽しめるくらいのパークになっていました。
また、ハワイに行くときは是非行きたいと思います。

Great trip.
I attended this snorkeling activity with my boyfriend (he had done it before and wanted to go again). Our tour guide on the bus was hysterical. So much fun and information was provided by him. I liked that he remained part of the experience by coming on the boat with us. The staffing was incredible as well. Tons of fun and very helpful. I was glad that they provided lunch as well. Quick and easy burgers, some fruit, sodas, etc. And of course, the snorkeling was beautiful! I would recommend it to anyone, of any age. If you can't swim, or haven't snorkeled, don't worry! They provide easy instructions to learn how to snorkel quickly, and they have both noodles and lifevests if you can't swim! You may even luck out and sight some sea turtles on your way to the reef!!! If you're considering this activity, go for it! You'll love it!
During our honeymoon trip to Oahu, we definitely wanted to visit Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. To sum up my impressions, I highly recommend it! We participated in an optional tour, and since there weren't too many people, we enjoyed our favorite attractions multiple times. One attraction we particularly liked was a seemingly simple pool that generates artificial waves. The waves are quite high, making it feel like a mini attraction, and we had a lot of fun.
One thing to keep in mind is that for slide-type attractions, you need to secure your own floaties or boogie boards at the bottom of the slide before climbing to the top. In Japan, it seems like staff would hand them out at the top, but if you forget, you'll have to go back down to get them.
新婚旅行でオアフ島へ訪問したときに是非これは行ってみたいということでウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイに行ってきました。
感想からいうと是非おすすめですよー。オプショナルツアーで参加したのですが、人もそんなに多くないので気に入ったアトラクションを何回も行きました。私達が気に入ったのは、一見地味ですが人工波が出るプールです。結構な高さの波が出てくるのでちょっとしたアトラクション級で楽しめますよ。
注意しておいた方がいいのが、スライダーのような滑る系アトラクションに必要となる浮き輪やビート板みたいな器具は各自滑り台の下で確保して頂上に登る仕組みみたいです。日本だと頂上で係の人が渡してくれそうですが、間違えるとまた麓まで取りに行くことになりますよ。

I had an amazing time! At first, I thought the dolphins would be far away, but I was able to see a pod swimming right underneath me multiple times! The ocean was truly beautiful, and the dolphins were adorable. I also got to see sea turtles up close!
The staff were all very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.
There were some repeat visitors among the group I went with. I definitely want to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!
I highly recommend this!
すごく楽しかったです♪♪
最初は遠くに見えるくらいなのかと思っていましたが、
本当に自分の真下にイルカの群れが通っていくのが何回も見れましたっ！！
海が本当にキレイでイルカ達もかわいかったです☆

スタッフの方達もみなさんとても親切で楽しかったです♪
同じ時に行った方の中にリピーターの方もいらっしゃいました☆私もまたハワイに行った時は参加したいですっ！！

First of all, this tour has a high quality. Usually, expensive tours aimed at Japanese people always have a Japanese guide, but this tour does not. However, there is an excellent local guide who understands the Japanese spirit and provides detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all. I felt that this tour was thoroughly researched for Japanese participants.
Of course, regarding the important rendezvous with the dolphins, this was the closest encounter I've had on any tour so far, and it really felt like we were swimming together. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to meet dolphins. I was also impressed by the service that sends a group photo if you register your email (of course, for free).
まず、このツアーはクオリティーが高いです。
通常は、日本人向けの値段の高いツアーには必ず、日本人ガイドがいるのですが、このツアーにはいません。
しかし、日本人の心を理解した優秀な現地ガイドさんがいまして、きめこまやかなガイドをしてくれるので、英語がチンプンカンプンでも全然オーケーです。
かなり、日本人向けに研究されているツアーと感じました。
もちろん、肝心のイルカとランデブーですが、今までのツアーの中で一番の最接近で、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じがしました。
イルカと逢いたいツアーをお探しの方は、おすすめです。

I participated in this tour on June 25, 2010. The account contains quite a few spoilers, but I believe the quality of the tour is so high that spoilers don't matter at all.
I had previously participated in a similar tour with dolphins, but I prefer this dolphin university tour. The previous tour was quite tough, and the care for participants was just "normal," which left little room for fun and made me feel exhausted both physically and mentally. In contrast, the dolphin university provided exceptional care that felt like true "hospitality." I was able to relax and enjoy myself while also thoroughly enjoying the dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish. I highly recommend it for first-timers and families. My 74-year-old father had a great time and, despite initially saying he wouldn't go into the sea, he ended up jumping off the boat multiple times and was in high spirits.
The pickup was indeed early at 5:30 AM (for the morning session), so I was a bit sleepy, but once I got in the car, the energetic enthusiasm of our tour guide, Yuriko, chased away my drowsiness. Before getting on the highway, we stopped by the popular donut shop "Rainer's Bakery" for breakfast, where I enjoyed a freshly made "Malasada," which is currently quite trendy. After about an hour, we arrived at the harbor where the "Island Princess" (with restrooms) was waiting, passing by the former residence of the former grand champion, Konishiki.
We boarded the Island Princess, and with Captain PaPa and the seven crew members, we set off to search for dolphins! Shortly after departure, we offered a song to the sea, "Ehomai," and at the end, we tossed a "Plumeria" flower into the water... praying for a good voyage. This was wonderful.
Now, the entire crew, including PaPa, was on the lookout for dolphins. During this time, while receiving explanations about life jackets and other equipment, we were delighted to be served a large bowl of pineapple. The one distributing it was Yuriko's adorable child, Kamadi. It was a delightful treat for my dry throat. After about 30 to 40 minutes, we encountered our first pod of dolphins. They were friendly and playful "Bottlenose Dolphins." All participants successfully swam with the pod. (Although, to be honest, the dolphins were much faster, so swimming together was a challenge for us humans.)
2010年6月25日にこのツアーに参加させていただきました。手記がかなりネタバレ的ですが、ネタバレなんか気にならない位のクオリティの高いツアーだと思います。
以前にもイルカの大学と同様なツアーに参加した事がありましたが、私の好みでは今回のいるかの大学の方が好みです。以前の参加したツアーは、かなりタフな内容で、参加者に対するケアが「普通」でしたので、遊びが少なく心身共にグッタリといった感じでした。対してイルカの大学は、参加者に対するケアがなんと言うか「おもてなし」の心意気を感じる素晴らしいものでした。心身ともにリラックスして遊ぶ事ができ、それでいてイルカ、海亀、熱帯魚も申し分なく堪能できました。初めての方や、ファミリーの方々には本当にお勧めです。74歳になる私の父も安心して大はしゃぎして、当初は海には入らないと言っていた事などどこ吹く風で、何度も船から飛び込んでノリノリ状態でした。
ピックアプは流石に5：30と朝早く（午前の部）ちょっとネムネムでしたが、車に乗ったらツアーガイドのユリコさんの元気すぎるテンションに引っ張られて眠気はどこかへ。
高速道路に乗る前に、朝ごはん代わりに人気のドーナツショップ「レイナーズベーカリー」に立ち寄り、これまた最近ホット（cool？）なドーナツ「マラサダ」を出来立てフカフカで頂きました。その後小一時間、ウエストコーストへ、元大関小錦邸の前を通って「アイランド・プリンセス号」（トイレ付き）の待つハーバーへ到着。
アイランド・プリンセスに乗り込み。キャプテンのPaPaさんはじめ7人のクルーと、先ずはイルカ探しへGO！。出航して直ぐに、海に「エホマイ」の歌を捧げ、最後に「プルメリア」の花を海へ・・・。良い航海になる様に祈りを捧げます。これは良かったですね。
さて、PaPaさんはじめクルー総出でイルカ探しです。その間、ライフジャケットの等の用具の説明を受けながら、うれしい事に大鉢一杯のパイナップッルのサーブを頂きました。配ってくれたのは、ツアーガイド・ユリコさんの可愛いお子さんカマディ君。ちょっと乾いていた喉にはうれしい御馳走でした。30~40分すると最初のイルカの群れとの御対面。人なつこく遊び好きの「ハシナガイルカ」だそうです。参加者全員イルカの群れと泳ぐ事に成功。（と言ってもイルカの方が遥かに早いので一緒に泳ぐのは人間に

This is a very good way to get acquainted with the island. If you are staying on Kauai, it is a quick way to decide where you would like to spend more time. If you are flying in and out, it is an opportunity to see something other than the island where you are staying.
"Prestigious Dolphin University" was truly amazing. We took a boat to a spot where we could see dolphins every day, almost 100% of the time, and jumped into the sea with snorkeling gear.
Following the staff's lead, I swam along and when I put my face in the water, a huge pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me! They came up to the surface to breathe and jumped together with us. Even though they weren't trained in an aquarium, they could jump in perfect sync. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I never expected to see dolphins so up close. Just floating in the water and watching the dolphins was so healing! For those who aren't confident in swimming, the staff will pull you along with a rope, so it's very reassuring.
Next, we went to a spot with sea turtles. I was able to swim alongside the turtles perfectly.
The staff included both Japanese and Hawaiian members, and there was a dedicated photographer. The photos taken by the photographer were later available on DVD, and I was glad I purchased them because they captured many moments, including pictures from when we were in the water and candid shots on the boat.
I never got bored on the boat during the transfers. I was particularly captivated by the handsome local guide and the stunning photographer. For lunch, they grilled hamburgers on the boat, which were absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed a very elegant atmosphere while relaxing to Hawaiian music.
In this tour, we referred to the dolphins and turtles as "Dolphin Sensei" and "Turtle Sensei," and they truly taught us the wonders of nature.
As a souvenir, I received an eco bag printed with "Prestigious Dolphin University." It was a very enjoyable tour that I will remember for a lifetime, and I would love to participate again!
「名門イルカ大学」本当に最高でした。
イルカが毎日１００％と言っていいほど見られるというスポットへ船で行き、シュノーケリングの道具を付けて海にジャボーンと飛び込みます。
スタッフの方の先導に泳いで付いて行き顔を海につけると、目の間にイルカの大群が！
空気を吸いに水面に出てきて、みんなでジャンプします。
水族館で調教されていなくても、ピッタリ息の合ったジャンプができるんですね。
海もとてもきれいで、こんなに間近でイルカが見られるとは思ってもいませんでした。
海にプカプカ浮かんでイルカを眺めているだけで、本当に癒されます！泳ぎに自信がない方は、スタッフの方がロープで引っ張っていってくれるので安心です。
次に、ウミガメのいるスポットへ行きます。
ウミガメもバッチリ一緒に泳ぐことができました。
スタッフの方は、日本人の方とハワイの方がいて、専属のカメラマンもいます。
カメラマンさんが撮った写真はDVDに焼いたものを後で購入するのですが、海に入った時の写真や船の上のスナップ写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえたので購入してよかったです
移動中の船の上も飽きることがありませんでした。
特に現地のイケメンガイドさんと、超美人のカメラマンさんには見とれてしまいました。
食事はハンバーグを船の上で焼いてハンバーガーにしてくれるのですが、もちろん味は最高だったし、ハワイアンミュージックが流れる舟でのんびりとしてとても優雅な気分に浸れました。
このツアーでは、イルカとカメを「イルカ先生、カメ先生」と呼ぶのですが、まさに大自然の素晴らしさを教えてくれる大先生でした。
お土産に「名門イルカ大学」とプリントされたエコバックをもらえました。
一生記憶に残るとても楽しいツアーでした、また参加したいです！

The large bus shuttle made it easy to travel comfortably. The good thing about taking the time to go there was that there are various types of pools and attractions that can only be found here, allowing for water play suitable for different ages.
On the day we visited, both the lazy river and wave pool were too crowded, making it dangerous for small children (no outside floaties allowed, rentals available). Although I thought we could play quite a bit from 10:30 to 14:40, it felt busier than expected. I think once is probably enough.
大型バスの送迎でゆったり行き来は出来ました。
わざわざ時間を掛けて行って良かった点は
色々な種類のプールやここにしかないアトラクションがあるので年齢に応じて水遊びできる事位。
私達が行った日は流れるプールも波のプールも人が多すぎて

10:30~14:40まで結構遊べると思いきや思いのほか慌しい感じでした。

We were blessed with the best weather, and it was said that the sandbar was quite shallow that day, which was lucky. We participated via Alan, and Captain Bruce took us to the best spot in the heavenly sea where we could swim with sea turtles. The pirate ship from Pirates of the Caribbean was also docked nearby, which was another stroke of luck.
最高のお天気に恵まれ、サンドバーもかなり浅めの日でラキーだと言われました。アランを経由しての参加でしたが、キャプテン・ブルースは天国の海の老舗で一番良い場所に陣取りウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできました。パイレーツオブカリビアンのロケの海賊船も近くに停泊中でこれもラッキーでした。

This was the best! I thought it was so important to do as a first timer, and would highly recommend it to anyone! Not only was it a great surprise for my family, the gal who greeted us was full of valuable information for us. She also walked us to the luggage pick up AND made sure we found our transportation driver before leaving.
I would HIGHLY recommend this service. It was a GREAT start to a very special family vacation!
All the dishes were very delicious, but the pasta was especially tasty and we were very satisfied.
The restaurant had an atmosphere reminiscent of Shirokane and Daikanyama, yet it was very reasonable and had a casual feel. There were also Japanese staff, which made it reassuring for us, as we couldn't speak English, allowing us to enjoy our meal comfortably.

I participated in a secret sandbar exploration and snorkeling tour. Although the day I joined had a bit more clouds and strong winds, I didn't mind the boat's rocking at all. I can't forget the sight of a sea turtle popping its head out of the water. In the coral sea, I encountered many fish, and at the sandbar, not only was the beauty stunning, but I also felt a true sense of oneness with nature, being right in the middle of the ocean with my family. The staff were kind and attentive, and I definitely want to participate again, no, I want to join many more times. Thank you very much!
秘密のサンドバー散策＆シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。参加した日はちょっと雲が多めで風が強いということでしたが、船の揺れはまったく気になりませんでした。泳いでいる姿ばかりではなく、ヒョコッと顔を水面から出した海亀の姿が忘れられません。サンゴの海では多くの魚達と出会い、サンドバーではその美しさはもちろんですが、海のど真ん中に自分と家族が居るという、まさに自然と一体化した気分を味わうことができました。スタッフの方々も親切、丁寧で、是非もう一度、いえいえ何度でも参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました。

I participated on July 29, 2010. This was my third time on the tour, but this time I joined by myself (with a rental car). It's always a lot of fun every year. The pool has many attractions, and there's hardly enough time to enjoy everything in the park. All the attractions are thrilling and enjoyable, but my kids seem to like the wave pool the most.
It's a bit far from downtown Honolulu, but it's about a 35-minute drive if you have a rental car.
Bringing food and drinks is prohibited (there's a bag check at the entrance), but you can bring bottled water. However, I noticed that the locals were secretly bringing in Spam musubi.
The rental lockers come in both large and small sizes, so it's best to minimize your belongings. Also, the number of floaties at each attraction was limited, so we ended up renting some for an additional fee.
There aren't any attractions that require a rash guard, so it's fine to wear just a swimsuit and beach sandals in the park. However, for sun protection, having a rash guard might be better later on.
You’ll be barefoot on the stairs and while waiting in line, so your feet might get hot or hurt.
There’s also a kids' pool area, so families can enjoy it together.
I haven't experienced the meal option, so I can't comment on the taste, but you can purchase meals separately for around $10 (there was a new fried rice option on the menu, but it wasn't very good).
I highly recommend this optional tour. Please give it a try!

３回目のツアー参加ですが、今回は自力で（レンタカーで）の参加でした
毎年とても楽しいです
プールにはたくさんのアトラクションがあり園内の時間が足りないくらいです
どのアトラクションもスリルがあって楽しいですが、うちの子供たちは波の出るプールが一番好きなようです
ホノルル市街からは少し離れていますが、レンタカーであれば３５分程度です
飲食物の持ち込みは禁止（入口で荷物検査があります）ですが、ペットボトルの水のみ持込み可です
地元の人たちは内緒でスパムむすびを持ち込んでいましたけどね
レンタルロッカーは大でも小さいので、荷物は最小限にした方がいいです
また、各アトラクションでは浮き輪の数が減っていましたので、ウチでは別料金で借りちゃいました
ラッシュガードが必要なほどハードなアトラクションはありませんので、園内は水着とビーチサンダルで大丈夫です
ただ日焼けの点ではラッシュガードがあったほうがあとでよいかも
階段や順番待ちの際は裸足になるので足の裏が痛かったり暑かったりします
子供用のプールエリアもありますので、家族で楽しめます
食事付きは体験したことないので味はわかりませんが、別に１０ドル前後で食事は購入できます（メニューにチャーハンが新しく加わっていましたが味はいまいちでした）
とってもオススメのオプショナルツアーです

My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday in Hawaii, and the number one thing on her "to-do list for this summer vacation" was to swim with dolphins!! Yes, the main event of this year's trip to Hawaii was enrolling in Dolphin University.
The result was... absolutely, overwhelmingly satisfying!! It was an incredibly exciting university experience (*^^)v
I woke up to breakfast with malasadas, and after about a 40-minute drive, passing by the Konishiki residence on the left, we arrived at the West Coast. We switched to a boat and set off with Yuriko and the energetic staff!! Within 10 minutes, we reached the dolphin spot → dove into the sea!! Even my daughter, who isn't a strong swimmer, was well-supported by the staff and enjoyed snorkeling with everyone (laughs). Then...
There they were＼(~o~)／ I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures and was captivated by the large group of dolphins. After that, we were able to see honu (sea turtles) and many fish up close.
For lunch, we had cheeseburgers grilled on the boat, which were also exquisite!! For some reason, everyone got excited and sang loudly during the ukulele and hula lessons, making it a quick half-day of fun♪
Dolphin University is definitely a place where both adults and children can enjoy themselves!! I want to enroll again next year (@^^)/~~~
Hawaiiで8歳の誕生日を迎えた娘の“今年の夏休みにする事”の一番がイルカと一緒に泳ぐこと!!

朝食のマラサダで眼が覚め、車にゆられて約40分~コニシキ邸を左手に過ぎるとウエストコーストに到着。
船に乗り換え、ユリ子さんや元気なスタッフと出発!!
10分もするとイルカのスポットに到着→海へダイブ!!
泳ぎが得意でない娘もスタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれて皆と一緒に余裕のシュノーケリング（笑）
すると…
いたいたいた＼(~o~)／あまりの感動に写真を撮るのも忘れてイルカの大群に見入ってしまいました。
その後もホヌや多くの魚を間近で見ることが出来ました。
ランチタイムは船上で焼いたチーズバーガー、これもまた絶品!!

イルカ大学は大人から子供まで間違えなく楽しめる大学です!!
また来年も入学したいと思っています(@^^)/~~~

When we went, the white sandy beach didn't appear (＞＜) It was about knee-deep... But standing in the middle of the sea felt quite strange.
Also, since we always travel as a couple, my husband was our photographer, so we had fewer photos of the two of us. However, the staff were very skilled at taking pictures and taught us various poses, so we ended up with a lot of great photos!! We even used one for our New Year's card!!
Thank you very much.
私たちが行ったときは、白い砂浜は、現れませんでした（＞＜）

でも、海のど真ん中の立つのは、なんか不思議な気がしました。

年賀状の写真にしちゃいました！！

Walking in the middle of the ocean is a rare experience. The guide was supposed to be "English only," but on the day I participated, there was a Japanese guide on board after we got on the boat. Even though it was "English only," since the tour mainly involves getting on a bus, transferring to a boat, and entering the ocean, I think it's not too concerning even if you're not confident in your English skills.
It seemed that the sandbar was an island in the morning, but by the time we arrived, the tide was only up to our ankles. For those who are particular about landing on the island, it might be a good idea to check the tide levels before going. I recommend searching for tide level websites using keywords like "Oahu tide."
At the sandbar, you can enjoy activities like playing volleyball or practicing snorkeling at your leisure. My husband, who can't swim, seemed to gain confidence practicing snorkeling there. While we were having fun, the staff called out to each group, saying, "I'll take your picture!"
At the sea turtle point, dozens of turtles showed their faces. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was the best. Next time, I definitely want to participate again, aiming for low tide.
海の真ん中を散歩するなんてことは、なかなか体験できません。
ガイドは「英語のみ」となっていましたが、私が参加した日は船に乗ってからは日本語のガイドさんが案内してくれました。
「英語のみ」でも、バスに乗って船に乗り換えて海に入るだけなんですから、英語に自信がなくともさほど心配がないツアーの内容ではないかと思います。
サンドバーは午前中は島になっていたようでしたが、私たちが到着した頃は足首位の潮位でした。島への上陸にこだわる方は、潮位を調べてから行くと良いのではないか、と思います。「oahu tide」などのキーワードで潮位を調べるサイトを検索すると良いと思います。
サンドバーではバレーボールやシュノーケリングの練習など、好きに過ごすことが出来ます。
泳げない主人はここでシュノーケリングの練習をして自信をつけたようです。
遊んでいるときに、スタッフさんが「写真をとってあげるよ~」とそれぞれのグループに声を掛けていました。
海ガメポイントでは、何十匹ものカメが顔を見せてくれました。
船上で食べるチーズバーガーは最高です。
今度は干潮の時間帯を狙ってぜひまた参加したいです。

On June 23rd, I participated with my 3-year-old son and my pregnant sister.
This was my second trip to Hawaii for my brother's wedding, and it was my son's first time in Hawaii. Last time, we mainly walked around the city, shopped, and enjoyed Waikiki Beach, but with a small child, shopping isn't really enjoyable. I wanted to find something that both the child could enjoy and that would be suitable for my pregnant sister, something that we couldn't experience in Japan. After searching with Alan, I found this option.
It had high ratings, and reading everyone's comments made it sound like a lot of fun. However, I was a bit skeptical because I had previously participated in a tour that was terrible despite good reviews. But with the 7.77 campaign and free admission for children under 3 (it's quite common for 3-year-olds to be charged, even though they probably don't understand what's going on), I was excited.
My son had a fear of the ocean after falling over in the waves during his debut at the beach last year, so I was quite anxious that he might get upset right before we went, even with the promise of feeding dolphins and turtles. I thought it would be fine to leave him with his grandparents if needed, and there was no cancellation fee, which was a relief.
On the day of the event, we had to gather at 6:10 AM. It was early... especially since it was the day after our arrival, and that time is quite tough for someone with low blood pressure. Oh boy. My son, who loves his mom, decided to join us. Just before we left, he was fussing about not wanting to go to the ocean or ride on a boat, but I managed to calm him down by promising him donuts (malasadas) and cheeseburgers.
At the meeting point, there was a shuttle bus with "Dolphin University" written on it in big letters. We were greeted by a lovely, bright, and talkative young woman with long hair and a sun-kissed complexion. My excitement and blood pressure both rose a bit.
The aforementioned lady, Yuriko, drove us to our first destination, Leonard's. During the drive, everyone introduced themselves, and thanks to Yuriko's skillful guidance, the atmosphere became friendly and relaxed. The shop was located along a main road, away from the tourist areas, and I probably wouldn't have been able to come here without the courage to rent a car. I was very happy with this kind of service; it scored high points with me. Leonard's is well-known and often featured in magazines and on TV, so I had imagined a clean and tidy shop, but its appearance pleasantly surprised me, blending into the everyday life of America. The atmosphere was great. While we were there, locals kept coming in to buy, showing its popularity.
I tried the most basic type of malasada. It was freshly fried and warm, gently waking up my half-asleep brain with its sweetness and moist, fluffy texture. It was delicious, and I understood why it was so popular.
By the way, while we were at Leonard's, my son felt the urge to go to the bathroom...
６月２３日に息子(３歳)、妹(妊婦)と共に参加。
今回は弟の結婚式で来た２回目のハワイ、息子は初ハワイでした。前回は街歩き、ショッピング、ワイキキビーチがメインでしたが、小さい子供連れだとショッピング等はたのしめない。子供も楽しめ、かつ妊婦でもOKの日本で体験できない感動をと思いアランさんで探したところ、こちらがヒット。
評価が高く、皆さんのコメントをよんでも楽しそうなものばかり。。以前評価を信じて参加したツアーがとんでもなかったため疑念を抱きつつも、折しも７．７７キャンペーン＆３歳以下無料(３歳で有料って結構多い、まだわけもわからんだろうに。)。おお。
息子は、去年の海デビュー時、波ですっころんでから海(波)恐怖症のため、イルカと亀というエサがあっても行く直前にぐずるかとかなり不安でこれなら同行のじいじばあばにあづけてもキャンセル料もないし、ときめました。
さて当日。６時１０分集合。早い。。到着翌日だし、低血圧にはかなりつらい時間帯。おぅ。そしてママ大好きっ子の息子は一緒に参加することに。直前まで、海やだー船乗らないーと騒ぐが、ドーナツ(マラサダ)＆チーズバーガーたべようねーとなんとかなだめ出発。
集合場所にはイルカ大学とでかでかと書かれた送迎車。迎えてくれたのはロングヘアに焼けた肌が素敵なとーっても明るく御話し上手なお姉さん。血中ハワイ濃度、血圧ともに少し上昇。
先述のお姉さん、ユリコさんのドライブで最初の目的地レナーズへ。車中でみんな自己紹介、ゆりこさんの巧みな誘導で和やか、フレンドリーなムードになっていく。お店は観光エリアからはずれた幹線道路沿いにあり、レンタカーを借りる勇気のない自分ではなかなか来れないだろう。こういうとこに連れて行ってくれるのはとてもうれしいサービス。ポイント高い。レナーズは雑誌やテレビでも良く紹介されていて有名なので小奇麗なお店を想像していたが、いい意味で期待を裏切る外観、アメリカの日常に溶け込んでいるようなところ。その雰囲気がいい。私たちがいる間にも次々と地元の人たちがかいにくる。人気なんだな。そして
一番ベーシックなタイプを食す。揚げたてほかほか、半分寝ている脳味噌をやさしく起こしてくれる甘さ、しっとりほわほわの食感。おいしい。人気なのもわかる。
ところで、レナーズに立ち寄った際、息子が尿意をもよおし
