Oahu
I went with 7 teenagers. They seemed to enjoy the park. It was very expensive compared to waterparks in California. The extra money we spent to have the BBQ lunch was not worth it. The kids would have preferred hamburgers and fries.There is not much for adults to do except the lazy river. The park was really clean and seemed kept up. The kids liked the surf rider and went on many times. The 5 dollar wristband for that was a good value.
The Arizona and Missouri Tour was a great exprience and we learned alot about our nations history.
We went as a family of four. This was our fourth visit to Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park, and this time we chose the Big Splash Package for the first time, which I think was the right decision. The kids really loved the bodyboarding lesson at Hurricane Bay that was included in the package. With the instructor giving them a good push at the right moment, they were able to ride the waves surprisingly far and seemed to have a lot of fun. I was worried about my second-grade daughter, but she played and rode the waves the whole time.
I didn't have high expectations for the barbecue lunch, but it turned out to be surprisingly satisfying, with plenty of meat and vegetables. For activities, we went on the water slide with inflatable rings as much as we could, but the kids still wanted to do more. It’s such a fun place that I wish we could have stayed a little longer.
家族4人で行ってきました。
ハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークに行くのは4度目で、今回は初めてビッグスプラッシュパッケージにしたのですが、正解だったと思います。
子どもたちに大好評だったのが、パッケージに付いていたハリケーン・ベイでのボディボード・レッスンで、インストラクターの方にいいタイミングで押していただくと、びっくりするくらい遠くまで波に乗ることができて楽しかったようです。小学校2年の娘はどうかなと心配していましたが、ずっと波に乗って遊んでいましたよ。
バーベキューランチはあまり期待していなかったのですが、思いのほか充実した内容で、お肉も野菜もたっぷり補給させてもらいました。
アクティビティでは、浮き輪に乗ってすべるウォータースライダーをこれでもかという位やりましたが、子供たちはまだまだやりたらなかったようです。
本当に楽しい場所なので、もう少し滞在時間を長くしていただけないかなと思いました。
Last year, I participated and my wife liked it so much that we applied for a second time. I thought the staff's response was good as well. We were satisfied to encounter dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.
昨年参加して妻が気に入ってしまい、2回目の申し込みをしました。スタッフの対応もよかったと思います。イルカ、亀、熱帯魚と遭遇して満足できました。
The dolphins were incredibly cute! It seems that the local instructor hardly understands Japanese, so it might be a struggle for those who are not good at English.
イルカがとにかく可愛かった!現地の担当インストラクターは殆ど日本語がわからないらしく、英語の苦手な人には苦痛かも。
The group that came on the tour entered first, and we entered more than 15 minutes later, but we managed to get the first umbrella in front of the most popular wave pool! The area right behind the umbrella provided shade all day, so while the kids played, the parents could relax and take a nap under the umbrella. Since the kids are now in middle and high school, it seemed like the security in the park was well-managed, which made us feel safe.
ツアーで来られた団体の人たちが先に入場し、15分以上あとから入場しましたが、一番人気の波のでるプール前のパラソルを一番にGET!パラソルの一番後ろは一日中日陰ができるため、子供が遊んでいる間、親はパラソルの下でのんびりお昼寝ができました。子供は中高生になっているので、パーク内で遊ぶ分には、警備もしっかりしているようなので、安心できました。
There are many tours where you can see wild dolphins, but Dolphin & You is truly recommended. The staff's response is polite, and they can communicate in Japanese, of course. The local staff are kind, so even those who are afraid of the ocean can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
The snorkeling after seeing the dolphins is enjoyable even for those who have dived at various points before. It has a charm different from diving.
The DVD I purchased turned out great, and it's a wonderful memory. I definitely want to go to Hawaii again and participate!
野生のイルカと会えるっていうツアーは沢山あるけど、ドルフィン&ユーは本当におすすめです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧、日本語ももちろん通じるし、現地スタッフの方も心優しくて、海が怖い方も安心して楽しめると思います。
イルカを見たあとのシュノーケリングは、今までダイビングでいろいろなポイントに潜ったことがある方でも、充分楽しめると思います。ダイビングとは違った魅力がありました。
購入したDVDもいい出来で、とてもいい思い出です。
またぜひハワイに行って参加したいです!!
I initially made a discounted reservation through the Atlantis website, but I found a much cheaper option and rebooked. Since there were four family members, I was surprised to see the difference between the amount charged for this tour and the amount I booked through the Atlantis website (which was charged to my credit card immediately and would be refunded upon cancellation).
最初にアトランティスのHPからディスカウントの予約を入れましたが、それよりもかなり安くて予約を入れ直しました。家族4人だったので、このツアーの請求額を見てアトランティスのHPから予約した金額(クレジットカードで、すぐに引き落とされて、キャンセルすると返金されます)との差を実感してびっくり。
We participated as a family of five (husband and wife + 8-year-old + 5-year-old + grandmother, 63 years old). I was worried because the children couldn't swim, but it was no problem at all. It happened to be my eldest son's birthday that day, and I was concerned about whether we would see dolphins, but a dolphin came close to my son, and he was overjoyed! After that, we also encountered turtles and beautiful tropical fish. It truly became a wonderful birthday memory. The staff were very kind, and I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises!
ファミリー5人で参加しました。
(夫婦+8歳+5歳+おばあちゃん63歳)
子供たちが泳げないので不安でしたが全然問題なかったです。ちょうどこの日は長男の誕生日、イルカに逢えるか心配でしたが長男の近くまでイルカが来てくれて大喜びでした!
その後に亀やきれいな熱帯魚にも逢えました。本当に良い誕生日の思い出になりました。スタッフの皆さんもとっても親切でまた機会があったら参加したいです!
I participated with a friend on July 19. It was my first time snorkeling and swimming with dolphins, so I was a bit anxious, but it was incredibly fun.
On the day, we weren't able to see many dolphins, but I was really happy that the staff worked hard to find spots where we could see them. Since they are wild dolphins, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them, but we were satisfied to see at least a few.
The hamburgers they grilled on the boat were also really delicious, and it became a wonderful memory. Moreover, everyone on the staff, including Yuriko, was truly kind, and we had a great time.
Thank you very much. I would definitely love to participate again.
7/19に友人と二人で参加しました。私はシュノーケルもイルカと泳ぐのも初めてだったので、少々不安もありましたが、すごーーーく楽しかったです。
当日はあまりイルカを見る事ができなかったのですが、私たちにイルカを見せてくれようとスタッフの皆さんが一生懸命になってイルカのいるスポットを探してくれたのがとても嬉しかったです。
野生のイルカなので必ずしも会えるとは限らないのですが、結果的に少しでも見れて私たちは満足です。
船の上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーもすごく美味しくて、本当によい思い出になりました。それにユリコさんをはじめスタッフの皆さんも本当によい方ばかりでとっても楽しかったです。
どうもありがとうございました。また是非参加させてもらいたいです。
We chose this experience because our child wanted to swim with dolphins, and both my wife and I were also very curious, so we ended up signing up as a group of three. It was our first time touching dolphins, and being pulled by them while swimming was truly moving. I think our 9-year-old had a valuable experience as well. The only downside was that there seemed to be instructors who spoke Japanese, but in our case, it was only in English, which left our child a bit confused. Still, I believe we were all very satisfied. They took photos and a DVD that we could buy later, but it was expensive! However, I couldn't help but buy them! (Sea Life Park is really good at business!)
子供がイルカと泳ぎたいというので選んだのですが、私も家内も興味津々で結局3名で申し込みました。イルカに触るのも初めてですし、イルカに引っ張ってもらって泳ぐなんて感動的でした。9歳の子供も貴重な体験ができたと思います。ただ残念だったのは、日本語が話せるインストラクターもいたようですが、私たちの場合は英語だけだったので子供がちょっと??状態でしたが、それでも大満足だったと思います。写真とDVDをとってくれて後で買えるのですがこれが高い!でも思わず買わずにはいられない!(商売うますぎるぞシーライフパーク!)
It was more fun than I expected!! My fourth-grade daughter loved the water slide where you ride on a float, and she went on it over and over again. I thought it might be crowded, but when we actually lined up, the wait time was short, and we were able to ride. I was also happy that the steak at the barbecue lunch was delicious! I will definitely go again next time!!
期待以上に楽しかったです!!
4年生の娘は浮き輪に乗って滑るウォータースライダーが気に入り、何度も何度もしました。
混んでいるかな?と思いましたが、実際に列に並ぶと待ち時間が短く乗れました。
バーベキューランチのステーキが美味しかったのも嬉しかったです!
次回も絶対行きます!!
We participated in a bodyboarding lesson as a family in the afternoon. I was anxious, not just for my daughter but for myself as well. My 12-year-old son was excited, treating it like a boogie board experience. Once we all lined up, a big wave came crashing in. As we floated, one by one, people started to successfully ride the waves. Later, when I tried to float with my daughter in the shallow area, the waves were strong, and it was quite dangerous as my feet scraped the bottom. I remembered the instruction to head towards the staff along the edge, so I placed the board on my head, held my daughter's hand, and jumped towards the staff. Once I entrusted my daughter to them, they pushed the board in sync with the waves, allowing anyone to feel like a surfer with long rides! When it was my turn, I experienced a thrill like never before! The waves felt smooth, almost as if I was on a boat, and it was truly exhilarating. Both my child and I enjoyed it with childlike joy. While we were closely attached to the staff, my son seemed to master the feeling on his own in a short time and became really hooked. The next day, we were able to enjoy bodyboarding in the ocean, and it was definitely the right decision to take the lesson on the first day.
午後からのボディーボードレッスンに家族で参加。娘だけでなく自分ですら不安。12歳の息子はビート板感覚でワクワク参加。いっせいに一列に並び終えるといきなり大波。プカプカ浮いていると、ひとりまたひとりとうまく波に乗って抜き出る人が続々。その後とりあえず浅瀬の所で娘と浮かぼうとしたら、波がきつくて足は擦るし大変危険。端を伝ってスタッフに向かえばよいと言う指示があったのを思い出し、ボードを頭にのせ、娘の手をひいてジャンプしながらスタッフをめざしました。スタッフに娘を託すと、波にあわせてボードを押してくれ誰でもサーファー気分になれる程の長い波乗り!次は私もと合図があつたのでお願いしたら、味わったことのない感動!波はザブーンではなく、スーッっとまさにボートに乗った気分で感動。子供も自分も童心で楽しめました。スタッフにべったりだった私達に対し、息子は短時間で自分で感覚をマスターしたらしく、とってもハマッてしまいました。翌日からの海でもボディーボードが楽しめて、初日にレッスンを受けていて大正解でした。
I applied for the family discount with my daughter, and even with the shuttle service, we were able to enter at a lower price than if we had applied on-site. Since group entries were prioritized over individual ones, it was relatively empty right after we entered, and we secured chairs in the shade, feeling well-prepared.
Reading the brochure, I noticed that many attractions had height restrictions (most were over 122 cm) and swimming ability requirements, which made my 120 cm daughter nervous, causing her to refuse to try any of the slides. We spent a long time in the wave pool, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime (the all-you-can-eat was delicious), followed by the bodyboard lesson (which the whole family enjoyed!). Before we knew it, there were only about 30 minutes left until the meeting time.
I wanted to try at least one slide, so I looked around, but there were long lines for all of them. After wandering around, I finally decided to wait in line for just one. However, I regretted that I had passed on the height restrictions at first glance, thinking it was a matter of self-management, and that they should have let us try from the beginning without checking swimming ability. The line moved quickly because there were three slides for one attraction, and the staff kept sending people off rapidly. After sliding, my daughter exclaimed, "One more time!" and I really wished we had more time... It was reassuring that staff who spoke Japanese were around when we needed help.
It was a pity that I didn't get to drink anything because we ran out of time.
娘とセットのファミリー割引で申し込み、送迎付なのに現地申込よりも割安で入場できました。個人よりも団体の入場が優先だったので、入場直後はすいていて、日陰のチェアも確保でき準備万端得した気分でした。パンフレットを読むとアトラクションには身長制限(122センチ以上が多い)や泳力条件が記載あったので、120センチの娘はビビッてしまい、全てのすべり台の挑戦を拒否。波のプールで延々過ごしていると、あっという間にランチタイム(食べ放題で美味しかった)、そしてボディーボードレッスン(これは家族皆が楽しめた!)と…集合時間まであと30分あまりとなってしまいました。最後に一度くらいは行きたいとすべり台を見て回るとどれも長蛇の列。ウロウロして最後にひとつだけ並ぶ決心をしていざ出陣。それが、身長制限なんて自己管理の世界か一目みてパス、泳力なんてチェックもなくで最初からトライさせるべきだったと後悔。列もひとつのアトラクションにすべり台が3本もあるから、とっても進むのが早い!スタッフは次々ドンドン出発させるし回転の速いこと。滑ったあとには娘は「もう一回!」なんていうしでホントにもっと時間があればと心残り…困ったときは日本語okのスタッフもウロウロしてるし安心でした。
時間がなくてドリンクが一度も飲めなかったのは残念。
We went out to sea, switched to a submarine, and dove in, so we immediately saw fish. However, this time the sea was rough, and the water was murky, making it a bit disappointing that we couldn't see far...
沖に出て、潜水艦に乗り換えて潜るので、潜ってすぐに魚が見えました。でも、今回は海が荒れていたのか水が濁っていて遠くまでは見れなかったのが少し残念・・・
The leis were wonderful, and a great welcome to Hawaii.
We enjoyed them to the fullest. Thanks!
The seating on the submarine is a little tight. Some seats are in between two windows which makes it a little harder to see out. On the submarine they show you how deep you are, that was cool. The sunken ships, airplanes and other structures are the most exciting, that is were most of the fish canbe seen. We saw 4 sea turtles just hanging out on the structures.
The submarine itself was larger than I expected and the ride was comfortable. I wasn't able to see as many beautiful fish or the seabed as I had hoped, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, overall it was a positive experience. I recommend it for families with small children, but those who are prone to seasickness might want to reconsider.
思ったより潜水艦自体は大きくて乗り心地は良かったです。期待したほどには、きれいなお魚とか海底の様子はみることができませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗る機会は滅多に無いので総合的にはマル。小さな子供さんがいる家族にはお勧めですが、船酔いしやすい人は止めた方がいいかも。
The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.
I participated with a close friend. Since it was both of our first time in Hawaii, we were looking for activities where we could see dolphins, but I was a bit worried because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The Japanese guide, Keiko, and the local staff were all very cheerful and kind. This time, based on the captain's decision, we descended the stairs of a catamaran and followed a pod of dolphins while holding onto a rope. I thought I wouldn't be able to chase the dolphins while snorkeling, so this was an unexpected and wonderful method! I heard that now, to protect baby dolphins, they swim fast and it's hard to keep up with them while snorkeling. I was so impressed by the staff who tried to show us the dolphins up close! There were plenty of dolphins, and it was a wonderful time. At the snorkeling spot, there were also turtles, and everyone was really enjoying themselves. The hamburgers were very delicious, and the hula dance lesson was fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.
仲良しの友だちとふたりで参加しました。
ふたりとも初ハワイだったのでイルカに会えるアクティヴィティを探していたんですが、泳ぎに自信がない私は少々心配もありました。
日本人ガイドのkeikoさんもロコのスタッフさんもとっても朗らかな良い方ばかりでしたし、今回は船長さんの判断でカタマランという船の階段に降り、ロープにつかまったままイルカの群れを追って見る方法でした。私はシュノーケルでイルカを追うのはできないなぁ…と思っていたので願ってもいない方法でした!今は赤ちゃんイルカを守るためにスピードが速くなかなかスノーケリングでは追いつけないそうです。なんとか近くで見せてくれようと考えてくださったスタッフに感激!イルカの数もいっぱいで素敵な時間でした。
スノーケルのポイントでは亀もいてみんな本当に楽しんでいました。
ハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったし、フラダンスレッスンもおもしろかったです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
This is my second time at Hawaiian Water Adventure. First impression: the time seems a bit short. The park closes at 4:00 PM, but the departure is at 2:30 PM, which feels a bit harsh. I didn't feel this during the off-season last time, but this time it's crowded because of summer vacation, so I felt that the attractions were busy. I wish there had been a little more consideration for that. The lunch was delicious. That steak was seasoned perfectly. Lastly, please make sure to experience the shaka!
ハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャ、今回で2回目です。まず、第一感想で時間、短いかな?開園時間16:00までなのに、出発が14:30はちょっと酷かな。前はOFFシーズンに参加したせいか感じなかったが、今回は夏休みで混んでるので、アトラクションが混んでるので、そう感じたかな。出来たら少し配慮が欲しかった。ランチは美味しかったです。あのステーキ、味付け最高でした。最後にシャカは体験して下さい、是非に!
What a wonderful way to be greeted upon arrival. This activity truly conveys the spirit of Aloha.
i really don't have anything to say but i enjoyed it
My daughter participated in a program to play with dolphins, while the other children and I observed. We joined the tour in Japanese, but there were only two other Japanese girls around the same age as my daughter, so we participated with foreigners. It seems she didn't quite understand the explanations in English. However, she was happy to interact with the dolphins.
娘だけがイルカと遊ぶプログラムに参加で、他の子供たちと私は見学してました。日本語ツアーで参加したのですが、参加が娘と娘と同じぐらいの日本人女の子が2人だけだったからか外人と一緒の参加でした。英語で説明するのでよくわからなかったみたいです。イルカとふれあえて喜んでは、いました。
I wished I had a bit more time to play on-site... The meat I had at the buffet was really delicious. Since it was summer vacation, there were quite a few people. I enjoyed bodyboarding without feeling my age.
現地でもう少し遊ぶ時間が長かったらなぁ・・・と思いました。食事のバイキングで食べたお肉がとってもおいしかったです。夏休みなのでちょっと人が多かったですね。年がいもなくボディーボードをして楽しみました。
High quality lei's...buy from this seller!
I participated in the 1 PM session on July 26th. Perhaps because it was the English explanation session, everyone except my family was foreign, which seemed to leave an impact on my children who were experiencing their first trip abroad. There were many families with children. However, whether it was due to timing or long-term pollution, the visible fish were limited to just the artificial reef area. Given our high expectations (perhaps too high?), I felt a bit disappointed with the content, but the fact that the kids could ride a submarine was truly exciting for them.
Also, thank you to the young lady who explained everything in Japanese at the dock. Perhaps because I was the only Japanese person there, she was very kind and thorough in her explanations, which was a great help. Regardless of the fish and turtles, the experience of riding the submarine was good. Even with the common issue of seasickness, my children, who usually get car sick, were completely fine.
7月26日到着日の午後1時の部に参加しました。英語解説の部だったからかも知れませんが、当方家族以外はすべて外国人で、ある意味海外に来た、と初海外の子供たちにもインパクトはあったようです。
子連れが多かったですね。ただ、時間的なものか、長年の汚染が原因か分かりませんが、見える魚は人工漁礁の部分だけで、ごくごく限られたものでした。期待が大きかった(大きすぎた?)だけに少々内容的にはがっかり感がありましたが、潜水艦に乗れる、ということ自体に子供は感激しておりました。
また、船着場で一生懸命日本語で説明してくれたお姉さん、有難うございます。当方だけしか日本人がいなかったからかも知れませんが、実に懇切丁寧に教えていただき、助かりました。魚や亀はともかく、潜水艦に乗れる体験は良かったです。よく出てきている船酔いも、すぐ車酔いする子供も全然平気でしたよ。
I boarded the premium course in Japanese (11:00). A Japanese guide is essential! They announce what is swimming around and where. The children were delighted to see the turtles swimming and also the rays.
プレミアムコースの日本語(11:00)に乗船しました。
日本語ガイドは必須!何がどの辺に泳いでますのアナウンスしてくれます。
子供はカメの泳いでる姿とエイも見れて喜んでました。
I went based on a recommendation from someone who had been there before. I chose the Big Splash package (which includes everything), and the time flew by. I felt like even the time spent eating barbecue was a waste. I thought maybe next time I could skip lunch, but my husband and kids said it was delicious, so they want to have lunch included again next time. I mistakenly used the voucher for the free bodyboard lesson at another attraction (I realized this later), but the staff was accommodating, and that attraction was really fun. I'm considering buying tickets for that next time. Both adults and kids can enjoy it.
行ったことのある人からのお勧めで行ってきました。
ビッグスプラッシュ(すべて付いているコース)でしたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。バーベキューを食べる時間ももったいないくらいでした。次回はランチなしでもいいかな?とおもったけど、主人と子供はおいしかったから次回もランチ付きでと言ってました。無料ボディボードレッスンの券を使う場所を間違って(後で気づきました)他のアトラクションで、使ったのですが(対応してくれたので・・・)そちらがとても面白く、次回はそれ用のチケットの購入を考えています。大人も子供も楽しめます。
This was an excellent tour and well worth the money! Our bus driver/tour guide was outstanding! Garfield was very knowledgeable with the sites and history of both the city tour as well as being our guide on the Uss Missouri. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii.
