All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

On August 18, I participated with my family. At 8:45, we joined the dolphin experience. The water was cold, but when the dolphins came close, I forgot about the cold. I was so happy to receive kisses from the dolphins, give them kisses, and swim while holding onto their fins. At 9:30, we fed the sea lions, which wasn't as enjoyable for us. At 10:55, we participated in swimming with the rays. The water was dirty, and we had to swim with snorkels, which required some courage and determination. Touching the rays felt amazing, and we all exclaimed "Wow!" in excitement. There were many large rays, which surprised us a bit, but we felt reassured knowing they were not dangerous.

We intended to participate in feeding the turtles, but there was a long line, so we decided to do that later and went for a meal instead. At 12:55, we experienced the sea walk. Although I had done it before, I felt nervous for some reason. There were three staff members, but two of them entered the water with us, which made me feel safe.

We received a free underwater camera, and I took many photos. The development was also free, and about 100 photos were ready. Swimming with the wild turtles was great, but what I loved most was being able to "touch them," see them "up close," and "feed them from my hand" underwater. We had a long time to interact with the turtles, rays, and fish.

Since my whole family loves turtles and dolphins, we had a wonderful day. Thank you very much.

８月１８日に家族で参加しました。８時４５分｛イルカ｝に参加で、水が冷たかったけどイルカが傍にきたら冷たさを忘れて、イルカからのkiss、イルカへのkiss、ヒレにつかまって泳いだりと、イルカに触れる事が出来てとても嬉しかったです。９時３０分、｛アシカに餌やり｝これは、余り嬉しくなかったみたいです。１０時５５分｛エイと一緒に泳ごう｝に参加。水が汚くて、シュノーケルをつけて泳ぐのですが、勇気と開き直りが必要でした。エイを触り、とても気持ちよい感触で「わーー！」って皆で感動しました。大きいのもたくさんいたので、少しビックリしましたが、危険ではないと聞き安心して泳げました。｛カメに餌をあげよう｝に参加しようと思ったら、すごい行列だったので、後にしようとなり、食事にいきました。１２時５５分｛シーウォーク｝経験してるけど、なぜか緊張しました。３人のスタッフがいましたが２人が水中に一緒に入って下さるので安心しました。
水中カメラを１人１台無料で頂き、写真をたくさん撮りました。現像も無料なのです。１００枚ほどの写真が出来上がりました。野生のカメと泳いだのも良かったですが、何といっても「触ることが出来る」「もの凄く間近で見れる」「水中でえさを手から
あげれる」というのが、とっても良かったです。長い時間カメとエイと魚達と触れ合えました。
家族全員が、カメとイルカが大好きなので、幸せな一日を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

We participated with our 9-year-old and 12-year-old sons and my wife. Our two sons really enjoyed the wave pool. However, the use of bodyboards was alternating, and the time for each wave was short (about 5 minutes?), which seemed to leave them a bit frustrated. Additionally, I recommend the Cliffhanger for those who love thrill rides. I ended up spreading my legs out of fear and rubbed the soles of my feet against the side of the slide, resulting in friction burns. Be careful!

9歳と12歳、妻の4人で参加しました。
2人の息子は波の出るプールがえらく、気に入っていました。
ただし、ボディーボートの練習と交互の利用となります。
また、1回あたりの波が出る時間も短く（５分くらい？）、ちょっと欲求不満のようでした。
その他、クリフハンガーは絶叫マシンが好きな方にはお薦めです。
私はついつい、恐怖で足が広がり、滑り台の側面に足の裏をこすり、摩擦やけどをしてしまいました。注意方。

Three years ago, my eldest son participated in the same Splash U with his mother. This year, my youngest son and I participated. Before it started, my youngest son looked a bit worried about touching a live dolphin, but once he touched it, he quickly broke into a smile and eventually said, "I want to stay with the dolphin a little longer." It must have become a wonderful memory for him. I'm satisfied that we could give him such a good experience.

However, last time we received something like a completion certificate for each participant, but this time there wasn't one. I wonder if the content is changing little by little. There were about 40 to 50 pairs of parents and children or couples participating, so I felt that the service was a bit lacking compared to last time. I have no complaints, but if I had to wish for something, it would be that the price could be a bit more reasonable. After all, paying over $200 requires some courage when signing up.

3年前に長男が同じスプラッシュUに母親と参加しました。今年は次男と父親が参加しました。始まるまで生きたイルカに触ることにビビっていたのか、浮かない顔の次男でしたが、一度触れたら見る見る笑顔になり、仕舞いには「まだイルカさんと居たい」と言い出す始末。いい思い出になったことでしょう。良い経験をさせてあげられたと満足しています。


ただ、前回は調教の終了証書のようなものを一人づつもらえたのですが、今回はありませんでした。少しづつ内容が変わっているのかな。参加者も親子、カップルで40～50組くらいいたと思うので、少々応対は物足りなく感じました。（前回に比べて）
不満はありませんが、欲を言えば、もう少しお値段が何とかならないかと。。やはり$200オーバーは申し込む時に勇気が要りますよね。。

This was my third time participating, and it was a lot of fun. My 6-year-old and 3-year-old also enjoyed it very much. There is a pool that even younger children can enjoy, so I think families can have a great time.

３度目の参加でしたが、とても楽しかったです。６歳と３歳の子供もとても楽しんでいました。３歳より小さい子でも十分楽しめるプールがあるので、ファミリーで楽しめると思います。

There were some quite intense rides, and as someone who isn't good with roller coasters, it was tough for me, but I managed to enjoy it somewhat. We each had our own meals, which I think was the right choice. The hot dogs were delicious. There was a height restriction for some rides, and surprisingly, it was quite strict, so the kids couldn't pass and ended up crying. They seemed really frustrated and are fired up for a revenge attempt. Since the park opens later, I might try taking the bus next time.

結構過激なものもあり、ジェットコースター系が苦手な私には厳しかったですが、
まあまあ楽しめました。
食事は各自にしたのですが正解かな。ホットドックが美味しかったですよ。
身長制限があるもののテストですが、意外に厳しいもので、子どもはパスできず
大泣きしてました。かなり悔しかったらしく、リベンジに燃えています。
開園時間が遅めなので、次回はバスで挑戦してみようかな？

At first glance, the facility looks small, and you might wonder if it's okay... but it's surprisingly impressive. The staff are true professionals. The animals raised by these experts have truly become entertainers. It's certainly not cheap, but it's far superior to similar attractions in Japan. You could compare it to the significant difference between a Broadway musical in New York and a local theater company. You really have to come here and see it for yourself to understand.

見た目は小さく、大丈夫かな…と思わせる施設ですが、これが侮れない。飼育係の皆さんはほんとにプロ。そのプロに育てられた動物たちはホントにエンターテイナーに育っています。決して安くはありませんが、日本の同様の企画より格段上。例えれば本場ニューヨークのミュージカルと劇団四季ぐらいの大きな差があります。実際にここに来て見ないと分からないけどね。

There are many things that you don't see in Japan, and it's a place where you can play all day. However, it gets very crowded, so I would prefer to avoid peak times if possible. The lifeguards are more reliable than in Japan and are properly monitoring the area.

日本では見かけないものが沢山あり、一日中遊べる所です。ただ、とても人が多くて何をするにも並ぶ状態なので、できれば混雑している時期は避けたいですね。
ライフセーバーは日本より、しっかりしていて、ちゃんと監視しています。

It was softer and more supple than I had imagined. Above all, my child was overjoyed and couldn't forget about the dolphins after returning home, so it must have been quite an emotional experience for them. If I had to make a suggestion, when grouping participants for the attraction, they had 12 to 15 people per dolphin, but I would have preferred if they doubled the number of dolphins and limited each group to about 5 to 6 people. This way, there would have been less unnecessary waiting time during the attraction, allowing for more time to interact with the dolphins. In any case, I felt that for younger children, this attraction offered a more suitable level of interaction with the dolphins compared to the Dolphin Adventure. By the way, my children participated at ages 10 and 5.

想像していたよりも軟らかく、しなやかな肌触りでした。
何より子供が大喜びで帰国してからもイルカの事が忘れられず、よほど感動したのでしょう。欲を言えば、アトラクション参加者をグループ分けする際、イルカ一頭に対して、12人～15人を一グループにしていましたが、イルカの頭数を倍にして、一グループ5～6人程度にしてほしかった。そのほうが、アトラクション中の無駄な待ち時間も少なく、イルカと接する時間を多く取れたでしょう。いずれにしても子供の年齢が低ければドルフィンアドベンチャーよりもこちらのアトラクションのほうが、程よいイルカとの触れ合いだと感じました。ちなみに子供の年齢は10歳の長男と5歳の長女で参加。

Our family took our first submarine trip together. The kids, who had never seen the ocean floor before, were so excited! Our guide was Japanese and provided clear explanations, so I highly recommend it. I read in a review that if you sit in the back of the submarine, you can get a seat in the very front, so we did just that. We were able to sit right behind the cockpit and had a great view through the large front window. According to the kids, they also saw 14 sea turtles!

親子ともども初めての潜水艦。海底を見たことのない子供達は大はしゃぎ！１０時の日本人ガイドさんだったので説明もわかりやすくオススメです。書き込みに「潜水艦に最後に乗ると一番前に座れる」とあったので、そのとおりに実行。操縦席の真後ろに座れて先頭の大きな窓からもよく見えて最高でした。子供達によると海亀１４匹も見れたそうです。

This is my second visit to Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. Last time, my child was only 5 years old, so we couldn't participate in many attractions. This time, at 7 years old, they cleared the height restrictions and had a blast playing. Unlike domestic pools, the wait times were short, allowing us to fully enjoy our time. The park is spacious yet easy to navigate, making it smooth to get to the places we wanted to go. The food was decent, and the onion rings and garlic-flavored fries were particularly delicious. I definitely want to include this in our plans for next time as well.

ハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークは2回目です。前回は子供が5歳だったので、アトラクションにはあまり参加できませんでした。今回、7歳になり、身長制限もクリアできたので思いっきり遊んできました。国内のプールとは違い、待ち時間も少なく満喫できます。園内は、広い割に分かり易く、行きたい所にスムーズに移動できました。食事もまずまずで、中でもオニオンリングとガーリック風味のフライドポテトは美味でした。次回も是非、予定コースのひとつにしたいと思います。

In the pickup vehicle, there were only three of us Japanese among twenty people, but once we arrived at the site, we were relieved to be placed in a Japanese team. We were able to interact with dolphins, which we usually only get to "look at," and the Dolphin Adventure was an incredibly valuable experience. With an 8 AM pickup, we left the site around 1 PM, but we had over two hours at the location, making it an efficient tour.

ピックアップの車の中は、20人中、日本人は私達家族3人だけという状態でしたが、現地に着いたら日本人のチームに入れてもらえて一安心。いつもは「見るだけ」だったイルカと思う存分触れ合えて、ドルフィン・アドベンチャーは非常に貴重な体験でした。朝8時のピックアップだと現地を出るのが13時ごろですが、現地での時間も2時間以上とれて、効率的なツアーだと思いました。

During our stay in Oahu, we always make sure to visit Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park with the family. This year, we enjoyed thrilling activities in the pool, which offered a different experience from the beach, making the most of our summer. Previously, when we went on a Sunday, it was crowded with locals, so this time we made the right choice by going on a weekday (Monday). I especially recommend it for families with elementary school children.

オアフ滞在時は、必ず家族でハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークに行っています。今年も、ビーチとはまた一味違うプールでのスリリングなアクティビティーで、夏を満喫できました。以前、日曜日に行ったとき、地元の人たちで混雑していたので、今回は平日（月曜日）に参加して正解でした。小学生のお子さんのいるファミリーに、特にオススメです。

The scale of all the attractions, including the speed and length of each slide and the height of the waves in the wave pool, is on a completely different level compared to pools in Japan. The Shaka ride, in particular, was thrilling and the kids were super excited. However, it was disappointing that the opening time was at 10:30 AM, which is late (tour groups were allowed to enter about an hour earlier), and the overall operating hours were short, so we couldn't enjoy all the attractions. Additionally, there is a free paper called Aloha Street available in town that includes a coupon for free shave ice. If you use it, you can get a huge shave ice that's as big as a child's face for free, so those planning to go should take advantage of this!

各スライダーのスピードや長さ、造波プールの波の高さ等、全てのアトラクションの規模が日本のプールと桁違いです。
特にシャカはスリル満点で子供達も大興奮でした。
ただ残念だったのは開園時間が10:30からと遅く(ツアー等のグループ参加は1時間程早く入場していました)、営業時間自体が短いため、全てのアトラクションで遊び尽くすことができなかったことですね。
また、町中で入手できるフリーペーパーのアロハストリートにシェイブアイスの無料券があり、それを利用すると子供の顔ほどもあるビッグなかき氷をタダで貰えるので、これから行く予定の人は上手に利用して下さいね。

Since it is far from Waikiki, we chose a plan that included transportation. We returned as scheduled, but it seems that if we had requested it on the way there, we could have extended our stay. (Just a guess...) It seems better to wear marine shoes inside the park.

ワイキキから距離があるので、送迎つきのプランを選びました。私達はプラン通りに帰りましたが、行きのバスで希望すれば滞在時間を長くできたようです。（予想ですが・・・）パーク内ではマリンシューズを履いたほうが良さそうです。

The children were overjoyed to touch a dolphin for the first time. In our case, we held the pectoral fins with both hands and swam on the dolphin's belly. Of course, there were also moments where the dolphin pushed the bodyboard and we got to kiss the dolphin for photos. Our session started at 11:00, but the water was indeed cold, and the children looked chilly. After the Dolphin Adventure, we enjoyed watching the dolphin show and shopping for souvenirs. We received discounts on meals and souvenirs with our wristbands, so it was a great deal.

初めてイルカにさわって、子ども達は大喜び。私達の場合は、背びれではなく胸びれを両手で持って、おなかに乗って泳ぎました。もちろんボディーボードを押してくれたり、写真撮影のためのイルカとのキスもありました。11：00からの回でしたが、やはり水が冷たく子ども達は寒そうでした。ドルフィンアドベンチャー参加後はイルカのショーを見たり、お土産を買ったりして過ごしました。リストバンドで食事もお土産も割引が受けれたので、とってもお得でした。

I went on July 31. The water slide was amazing. The giant half-pipe was especially thrilling! The wave pool has strong waves, so be careful! I almost drowned.
Make sure to apply sunscreen properly before participating. Highly recommended for families!

７／３１に行きました。ウォータースライダーは最高。特に巨大なハーフパイプはスリル満点！波のプールは、波が激しいので要注意！溺れそうになりました。
日焼け止めをしっかり塗って参加しましょう。ファミリーにチョーお薦めです。

I heard that children's admission is free with an application, so I decided to sign up. Some people might say, "Why go to a pool in Hawaii?" but both my child and I were excited by the thrilling slides. In a Hawaiian program, when Higashiyama-kun experienced the slide, he said, "If I build a house, I would make one of these (slides)." It was truly the best. Soft drinks were also all-you-can-drink. With transportation included, I think this price is a great deal.

子どもの料金が申請で無料になると聞いて申し込んでみました。
ハワイでプールなんてとおっしゃる方もいるようですが、迫力満点のスライダーに親子ともどもエキサイトしました。
あるハワイ番組で、東山くんがスライダーを体験したときに
「もし家を建てたら、これ（スライダー）作る」
と言ってましたよ。
ほんとに最高でした。
ソフトドリンクも飲み放題。送迎も付いてこの値段はとてもお得だと思います。

Women definitely need days to spend on shopping! So, while my husband and kids went to this park, I was able to enjoy plenty of shopping at Waikele Outlets. Since the location is close, they dropped me off at Waikele, and then my husband and kids went straight to the water park. I was worried that it might be tough for them to spend the whole day together, but it seems my kids had so much fun that they didn't want to leave. On our first trip to Hawaii, we went on various optional tours, but this one seemed to be the most enjoyable for them. If you're planning to rent a car and have kids, I definitely recommend participating in this.

It wasn't overly crowded, which was great for the Japanese visitors, and it seems everyone had a blast enjoying the many attractions. It was also wonderful that kids could enter for free.

　女性はやっぱりお買い物に費やす日も必要ですよね~。そこで、我が家は夫と子供にこのパークへ行ってもらっている間に、ワイケレアウトレッツで十分ショッピングを楽しめました。場所が近いので、ワイケレへ置いていってもらい、そのまま子供と主人はウォーターパークへ。二人で１日中は大変じゃないかと心配していましたが、子供は帰りたがらないほど楽しんだそうです。初めてのハワイ旅行、いろいろなオプショナルツアーに連れて行きましたが、これが一番楽しかったらしいです。レンタカーご利用予定で行かれる方、お子さんがいらっしゃる方ならぜひ参加されるといいと思いますよ。
　日本人はもちろん、苦になるほど混んでいることもなく、たくさんのアトラクションを思いっきり楽しめたようです。子供無料は有難かったです。

On July 30, I participated with my 6-year-old twin daughters and my husband. We left the hotel at 10:30 and arrived in about 30 minutes. To prepare for our 1:15 PM session, we spent the morning watching dolphin training. We shared a teriyaki burger and hot dog as a family, and then headed to the meeting point at 1 PM. After using the restroom, we went downstairs where there are $1 lockers. After a brief explanation, we finally entered the pool where the dolphins were waiting. The instructor provided explanations in a mix of English and Japanese, so there was no need to worry about how to behave. The dolphins felt smooth on the surface, but I could also feel the texture of their muscles underneath, which was very moving. My two 6-year-old daughters were initially scared and couldn't touch the dolphins, but as they got used to it, they started interacting with the dolphins with smiles. (Otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of coming here!) We kissed and shook hands with the dolphins, and before we knew it, 45 minutes had passed. Not only the kids, but my husband and I also enjoyed it. I recommend it for families with small children.

7月30日に6歳の双子の娘と夫婦4人で参加しました。
10時30分にホテルを出発し、30分程度で到着します。
13時15分の回に参加するため、午前中はイルカの調教をみたりして過ごしました。
テリヤキバーガーとホットドッグを家族でシェアして食べ、いよいよ13時の集合場所に行きました。
トイレをすませ、下に下りていくと、1ドルのロッカーがあります。
簡単な説明を聞き、いよいよイルカの待つプールに入ります。
インストラクターが英語と日本語交じりの説明をしてくれるため、どう振舞えば良いのか、心配することはありません。
イルカは表面がつるつるしていますが、皮の下のお肉（筋肉？）の感触も伝わり、とても感激しました。
6歳の娘二人は最初は怖くてイルカに触れることができませんでしたが、次第になれてきたのか、笑顔でイルカと触れ合っていました。
（そうでなきゃ、せっかく来た意味がなくなっちゃいますよぉ～）
イルカとキスしたり、握手したり、あっというまに45分が過ぎてしまいました。
子供たちだけでなく、私達夫婦も楽しめました。
小さなお子さんのいるファミリーにはおすすめします。

It was quite crowded, perhaps due to the timing. There is a children's pool and a slide, which should appeal to a wide range of ages. However, spending half a day here should be sufficient (unless you're someone who enjoys boarding).

時期が悪いのか結構混んでいました。子供用のプールもあり、スライダーもあり幅広い年齢層に受けるでしょう。ただし半日もいれば十分でしょう。（ボードをやる人は別ですが）

Dolphin Adventure is an activity that children will enjoy. However, be careful as the water is not very clean. Just seeing and touching the dolphins is soothing for the heart.

ドルフィンアドベンチャーは子供も喜ぶアクティビティです。ただし、水があまりきれいではないのでご用心。イルカを見て触るだけで心が和みます。

We participated as a family of four, with one person (myself) specializing in photography, and we had a great time with our third grader and middle schooler along with their father.

We chose a plan without transportation and drove there with a rental car. Since the meeting time was apparently at 8:45 AM, I think it's best to plan to get on the freeway by 8:00 AM to drive with a relaxed mindset.

If you leave earlier, you can visit sightseeing spots along the way. Most of the parking lots are on the right side, so it might be easier to stop by on the way there.

As for the dolphins, I didn't expect them to come so close to us multiple times, so everyone was quite delighted. We were able to kiss and shake hands with them, and while waiting for others to do the same, we were giving commands to the dolphins, who would come close and perform various tricks around us. So, when the instructor gave the signal that it was okay to touch them, it seemed like we touched them many times.

Regarding photography, if you have a camera with a zoom lens, you can take beautiful, large pictures, but those with disposable cameras mentioned that they couldn't capture good shots.

Also, for $2, you can buy food to feed the sea turtles, which was quite fun, and the food disappeared quickly. The sea turtles that come up close are very eager to eat and provide a lot of enjoyment.

There were various shows, but we only watched the sea lion show before leaving the park. We then extended our trip to Kailua Beach Park, where we played until the evening, and afterward, we climbed Diamond Head on the way back.

The parking lot at Diamond Head is open until 6 PM, so we hurried up the trail. If you're confident in your physical fitness, I recommend giving it a try!

My parents participated. Since they didn't even bring swimsuits to Hawaii, they were very satisfied to see sea turtles, sharks, and tropical fish up close without getting wet. They were quite excited when they returned. I'm glad we chose this tour. It seems they saw more fish than I did while diving, which is a bit frustrating for me...

両親が参加しました。ハワイに水着すら持ってこない両親なので、濡れずに、海亀やサメやトロピカルフィッシュを間近で沢山見れて、大変満足していました。戻って来た時はかなり興奮していました。このツアーを選んで良かったと思います。私がダイビングで見たよりも沢山の魚を見たようなので、悔しいですが・・・。

This time, I went out with my family. I can't swim, so I was a bit hesitant, but once we got there, there were various activities like slides, half pipes, and wave pools, and I had a great time. We left the kids with our friends and enjoyed the adult-only slides as a couple, and also had fun on the kids' slides with the children. Depending on how you approach it, families, couples, and friends can all enjoy themselves. Anyway, I thought it would be a place where you can really have fun if you go with the determination to conquer all the activities, rather than just lounging in the sun! But I wonder if there are places like this in Japan too!? (I don't know the details.)

今回は家族で遊びに行った。
自分は泳げないので逃げ腰だったが、いざ行ってみたら、滑り台/ハーフパイプ/波のプール、などなど色々な趣向のアクティビティがあり、楽しめた。
子供を友達夫婦に預け、夫婦で大人しか出来ない滑り台を楽しんだり、子供と一緒に子供用の滑り台で楽しんだりと、やり方次第でファミリーでもカップルでも友達同士でも楽しめる。
兎に角、ぼーっと日光浴をするためでなく、全アクティビティーを制覇するぜ！と意気込みを持っていくと、十分楽しめるところと思った♪
でも、日本でもこういうのはあるのかな！？(詳しくは知りません)

Joining was definitely the right choice! First of all, we were blessed with great weather and sea conditions. The visibility was excellent♪ We saw turtles, unique Hawaiian fish, and corals… The guide was also very good at explaining things, making it feel like a perfect opportunity for my son's science project.

If I had to mention something, it doesn't matter what order you board the boat to the submarine, but if you board the submarine last, you'll get to sit in the front row facing the direction of travel… you can really feel like a pilot☆

I had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Adventure Park helped make it even more enjoyable. There were corners that you don't often see in Japan, and my daughter, who is in middle school, was very pleased. Of course, my elementary school son was overjoyed as well... Dad was also impressed by the variety of the park. The ice cream from Dippin' Dots, which was set up like a stall in the largest food corner, is a futuristic ice cream. According to my family, it's the best they've ever had... you can trust us! This was my first time using a tour system like Alan's, and it was convenient! So convenient! I even recommended it to my friends.

This time, I traveled to Hawaii with my 7-year-old daughter. I joined this tour thinking it would be fun for her. Since my daughter was scared of the slide, we enjoyed the lazy river, the children's pool, and the wave pool. The wave pool had real waves that were good enough for bodyboarding, and my daughter had a blast! We enjoyed the three pools together, but...

The park opened at 10:30 AM, and the bus departure time was at 2:45 PM (with lunch from 12:00 PM), so we could only play for a short time, which was really disappointing. For those who wanted to stay longer, the only option was to find their own way back, and since it takes about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki, I heard the taxi fare would be around $80, so we reluctantly returned.

We chose a tour that included a buffet lunch, but it would have been cheaper and possibly tastier if we had bought our own lunch! I wish we had a bit more time.

今回、７歳の娘と二人でハワイ旅行。
子供が楽しめる様にと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
娘がスライダーを怖がったので、流れるプールと子供用プールと波の出るプールを楽しみました。波のプールは、ボディボードが出来るくらいの本格的な波で、子供も大ハシャギ！！３つのプールを親子で楽しんだけど・・・。
パークのＯＰＥＮがＡＭ１０：３０~で、帰りのバス集合時間がＰＭ２：４５（ランチタイムがＰＭ１２：００~）と短時間しか遊べなかったのが、とても残念でした。もっと長く居たい人は、自分達で帰るしかなく、ワイキキから車で４０分かかる所にあるので、タクシー代も＄８０は掛かると聞いて仕方なく帰って来ました。
バイキングランチ付のツアーにしたけど、ランチは自分達で買った方が安く済んだし、もっと美味しい物が食べれたかも？！
もう少し時間があると良かったなぁ~。
　

　

My 6-year-old daughter had a blast at the wave pool. She said she wanted to go again the next day. They also offered large floaties for free, which was really helpful. Although we chose a package without meals, the hamburgers there were delicious. Above all, it was great that the prices were affordable.

６歳の娘は波のプールでおおはしゃぎ。翌日も行きたいと言ってました。大きな浮き輪も
無料貸し出ししてくれるので助かりました。食事なしのコースでしたが、そこのハンバーガーはおいしかったです。何より値段が安くすんだので良かったです。

The bus arrived on time for pickup. There were about three hotel pickups, and we arrived in 45 minutes (arriving at 9:55 AM before the park opened). The staff was Japanese and very smooth in their operations. The pools were all unique and fun, unlike anything in Japan. The 2:45 PM meeting time was just right, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. The popular slides had about a 10-minute wait. The shop also had about a 5-minute wait, but that was totally fine. Drinks are free and available right away. Children over 122 centimeters can participate in various slides and have even more fun.

まず時間通りに迎えのバスが来ました。３つほどホテルのピックアップがあり４５分で到着。（開園前の９時５５分に到着）スタッフは日本人でとてもスムーズでした。プールはどれも日本にはなく、楽しいものばかり。２時４５分の集合時間も丁度よく、たっぷり遊べました。人気のスライダーは１０分くらい並びます。売店も５分くらいは並びますが、それくらいは、全然ＯＫです。ドリンクはフリーですぐもらえますよ。１２２センチ以上の子供さんなら、色々なスライダーに参加でき、さらに楽しめるでしょう。

I boarded a 48-passenger submarine. I took the blue shuttle from the hotel to the ferry dock in front of Hilton Hawaiian Village. At the dock, we took a group photo (which is later sold for $20). Once on the ferry, we arrived at the diving point off Waikiki, where the submarine surfaced with white bubbles.

Holding onto the handrails tightly, I boarded the submarine. As I took my seat and peered through the round window, I was greeted by a large school of jackfish. The pamphlet mentioned that there would be an English guide, but perhaps because there were many Japanese guests, we had a Japanese guide instead. As we descended, colorful fish swam around the reef in abundance. At the shipwreck point, we spotted a sea turtle. To top it off, we encountered a group from a diving tour. It felt just like being in a dragon palace. Time flew by in an instant. On the return shuttle, since we could choose our destination, I got off at Ala Moana Shopping Center to do some shopping. It was a very satisfying day.

48人乗りの潜水艦に乗りました。
ホテルからブルーの送迎シャトルに乗り込み、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ前の連絡船桟橋へ。桟橋でグループごとの記念撮影（後で$20で売ってる）。連絡船に乗りワイキキ沖の潜水ポイントにつくと、白い泡と共に潜水艦が浮上してくる。
手すりにしっかりと捕まりながら乗船。席に着き丸い窓から海中を覗くと鰺の大群に出迎えられる。パンフでは、英語ガイドの時間帯だったけど、日本人が多いためか日本語ガイドだ。潜航していくと魚礁の周りには色鮮やかな魚たちがこれでもかというほど泳いでる。沈船のポイントでは、ウミガメ登場。おまけにダイビングツアーのご一行とも遭遇。まるで竜宮城気分。あっという間に時が過ぎてしまった。帰りのシャトルでは、目的地が選べたのでアラモアナ・ショッピングセンターで降りてお買い物。大満足の１日です。
