All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.

Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.

The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.

After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

潜水艦で海に潜るなんて、
めったに出来るようなことではないので、
とても貴重な体験ができました。

潜水艦内では席を離れることができないので、
反対側の窓から見えていたらしいサメが
見られなかったのは残念でしたが、
5か所のポイントを、両方の窓から見えるように
旋回してくれるので、
寝ているウミガメや、漁礁を泳ぐ綺麗な魚を
楽しむことができました。

船内での解説は子供向けのものでしたが、
大人でも充分楽しめる内容だったと思います。
海中の太陽光とサンゴの色の関係は
とても興味深いものでした。

下船後に桟橋に戻る船からは、
イルカを見ることができたそうですが、
次の回との入れ替え中に強風で船が揺れ、
船酔いしてしまったので
私は見ることができませんでした（TT）

We booked our first tour in Honolulu for a family trip. We aimed for low tide, and the timing and weather were perfect. The clarity of the ocean was stunning. We spotted a few turtles from the boat at a distance. However, it was unfortunate that my son injured his foot on the coral while snorkeling. It might be safer to wear water shoes.

I was a bit taken aback by the old restroom facilities and the lack of paper, but considering there was only one Japanese woman managing a large number of participants, it might have been unavoidable.

家族旅行で初ホノルルで最初のツアーとして申し込みました。引き潮を狙い、タイミングも気候もばっちりでした。海のきれいさは圧巻。カメさん探しは船上から遠目に何匹かの甲羅と顔を拝みました。ただ、シュノーケリングの時、サンゴで息子が足をけがしたのが残念でした。水中用の靴をはいていた方が無難かもしれません。
途中休憩のトイレの古さとペーパーレスには慌ててしまいましたが、大勢の参加者に対し、日本女性が１人で対応していたので行き届かないことも致し方ないのかもしれません。

I had wanted to interact with dolphins here since I first went to Hawaii, so I signed up as soon as my trip was decided. Touching the dolphins and swimming with them... that day of the tour was absolutely the best!

前からハワイに行けばここでイルカに触れ合いたかったので
旅行が決まってすぐに申し込みました。
イルカに触って、イルカと泳いで・・・・・
もうこのツアーの日は一日最高でした。

A mysterious and charming sandbar tour!! I highly recommend it.

On the way to the sandbar, I encountered nearly ten sea turtles and was able to capture great photos. Watching them swim gracefully and pop their heads up was incredibly cute, and I couldn't help but snap a picture.

The sandbar is truly strange and mystical! It feels like, "Why is there land in such a place?" At the edge (where the sandbar meets the sea), there were lots of fish. I took plenty of underwater photos while snorkeling.

The transportation seemed to be handled by someone Chinese (?), and their broken Japanese was quite confusing, making me a bit nervous at first, wondering if I would be taken to some back alley. However, we arrived safely, and once on the boat, the Japanese guide was very nice and reliable. I highly recommend this fun tour!

神秘的・魅力的なサンドバーツアー！！おすすめです。
サンドバーに行くまでにも海がめに10匹近く出会え、写真にも上手に収めることができました。すーいすーいと泳いできて、ちょこんと顔を上げる様子はとってもキュートで、思わず写真にパチリです。
サンドバーは、本当に不思議で神秘的！どうしてこんなところに陸があるの？っていう感じで、そのふち（サンドバーと海の境）には、沢山のおさかなさんがいっぱい。シュノーケルで、水中撮影も一杯しました。送迎は中国人（？）みたいで、片言の日本語が意味不明のかなり怪しい感じで最初はどこか路地裏にでも連れて行かれるんじゃないかとドキドキしましたが、無事につきましたし、船に乗ってからは、日本人のガイドさんもとてもいい方で頼りになります。とても楽しいツアーはおすすめです！

It was my first visit to Sea Life Park in 20 years, and I felt a great sense of nostalgia seeing the unchanged scenery along the way. I had signed up for the Dolphin Encounter, but unfortunately, just before it started, my 2-year-old daughter began to cry loudly. I thought it would be best not to disturb everyone, so I canceled. At first, I was frustrated with my daughter's tantrum, but upon reflection, I realized it was my mistake to plan this for the morning after a long flight.

The staff handled the last-minute cancellation without any displeasure and quickly arranged a taxi for our return trip. Thank you very much. Thanks to their prompt assistance, we were able to relax at Waikiki Beach and the hotel pool before going shopping that day. My daughter regained her composure, and the rest of our itinerary went smoothly, allowing us to create wonderful memories of our trip before leaving Hawaii.

I thought we stumbled at the first event in Hawaii, but thanks to the staff, I am grateful that we were able to make enjoyable memories during our trip.

シーライフパークは、20ぶりの訪問となりましたが、往復路を含めて変わらぬ風景に、大変懐かしさを感じました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターを申し込みましたが、残念ながら開始直前に2歳の娘が大泣きをし始め、皆様に迷惑をかけてはいけないと思いキャンセルしました。
最初は、娘の我儘に腹が立ちましたが、よくよく考えれば長い空路の翌日の朝一番に計画をした私の間違いでした。
スタッフの皆様は、直前のキャンセルにいやな顔もせず、復路のタクシー手配まで速やかに対処いただきました。
有難うございました。
速やかに対処いただいたおかげで、その日は、ワイキキビーチやホテルのプールでゆっくりしたあと、ショッピングに参りました。娘も、平常を取り戻し、後々の行程は、上機嫌ですごし、楽しい旅の思い出を作りハワイを後にすることができました。
ハワイでの最初のイベントでつまずいたと思ったのですが、スタッフの皆様のおかげで、楽しい旅の思い出を作る事が出来たと感謝しております。

Jenner was real funny, the all girl crew were wonderful, helpful & on point. Over all we had a great time, will repeat next visit to Hawaii.

I participated at five months pregnant, of course, at my own risk.

At first, I signed up for the first session, but since it was fully booked, I was encouraged to join the second session, which was also nearly full in the shuttle van. It seems to be quite popular. During the ride, a DVD was playing, but very few people were watching; most were sleeping.

When we arrived, we borrowed costumes and danced in a nearby field since we were going to do hula first. It was over in a flash, but the explanations were clear and it was fun.

Up until this point, everyone, including others, was lively.

Once we boarded the boat and arrived at the dolphin point, we found several other boats waiting, and we had to wait for our turn. During that time, we saw a few pods of dolphins. They were spinning and there were baby dolphins too. We waited for the guide's instructions to enter the water, but the pods quickly moved away. We saw them several times from the boat, but only caught a glimpse of them in the water.

After that, we headed to the snorkeling point, but some people started to feel seasick, and I had a bad feeling as well. However, I thought it would be better to snorkel than stay on the boat. Following the guide, we discovered a sea turtle, and I was thrilled to see a wild sea turtle. The fish were swimming leisurely, which was also amazing.

However, perhaps due to the worsening weather, I started to feel cold. I swam until I reached my limit but got back on the boat early. After that, I curled up due to seasickness and cold. More than half of the people around me, who had been lively just moments ago, seemed to be feeling sick too, and we ended up taking the homemade hamburgers and chips back with us.

Strangely enough, once we got off the boat, my seasickness disappeared, and I was happily munching on a hamburger in the car, while my husband looked really miserable, haha. Although I didn't get to swim with the dolphins, it was overall a good experience. Definitely bring seasickness medication!

妊娠５ヶ月での参加でした。勿論自己責任。

最初、一部を申し込んだのですが、満席の為二部を勧められそちらに参加しましたが、二部も送迎のバン？はほぼ満席状態でした。人気なのでしょう。
行きの社内でDVDが流れていましたが、見ている人は少なく、皆寝ていました。
現地に着くと、先にフラダンスをやるという事で傍の原っぱにて衣装を借りて皆で踊りました。あっという間でしたが説明もわかりやすく楽しかったです。

他の方達含め、元気が良いのはここまでです。

船に乗り、イルカポイントに到着するも他の船も何隻か待っていて自分達の番が来るのをひたすら待ちました。その間に何回かイルカの群れを見ました。スピンもしていたし、子供イルカも居ました。
ガイドさんの指示を待って海に入りましたが、群れはあっという間に行ってしまいました。船上では何度も見れましたが、海の中では一瞬見れただけでした。
この後、今度はシュノーケルポイントに向かいましたが、この辺りで船酔いする人が出てきて、自分もちょっと嫌な予感はしましたが、船上に居るよりは良いと思いシュノーケルしました。ガイドさんについていくとウミガメを発見、野生のウミガメには感動しました。魚も悠々と泳いでいて感動です。
しかし、雲行きがあまり良くなかったせいか体が冷えてきて、限界まで泳ぎましたが早めに船に上がり、その後は襲ってきた船酔いと寒さでずっとうずくまっていました。
さっきまで元気だった周りの方達も半分以上酔っていたようで、手作りハンバーガーもチップスもお持ち帰りしました。船を下りると、本当に不思議なことにケロっと船酔いが治り私は車内でハンバーガーを頬張っていましたが旦那さんは本当に辛そうでした　笑
イルカと泳ぐ夢は叶いませんでしたが、全体的に良い体験でした。　酔い止め必須です。

Last time, I signed up for a different tour, but I was just desperately swimming after dolphins and hardly saw any. With Dolphin You, the captain predicts the dolphins' movements and takes you to the right spots, so I was able to see the pods without chasing them around. Also, the life vests allow you to adjust the air yourself, so those confident in swimming can dive, which made it a lot of fun. My 8-year-old daughter, who is good at swimming, was crying because she wanted to use an adult vest instead of a child-sized one, and Shanti kindly comforted her and switched it to an adult vest. I was very satisfied as I was able to see many dolphins during all three tries. At the turtle point, we were allowed to snorkel slowly, and I was able to swim with 4 to 5 turtles for a long time. This tour is truly filled with consideration for making guests enjoy themselves, and I was moved by that. It was completely different from the previous dolphin tour and other tours, as I always felt that they prioritized the guests. The hamburgers were delicious, and trying hula dancing turned out to be surprisingly fun. If I want to encounter dolphins again next time, I will choose this tour. Thank you, Shanti, Kaina, Ila, and Steve!!

前回は別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカを追いかけて必死に泳いでいるだけで、ほとんど姿をみられませんでした。ドルフィンユーの場合は、キャプテンがイルカの動きを予測してポイントに落としてくれるので、追いかけ回すことなくイルカの群れを見ることが出来ました。また、ライフベストも自分で空気の量を調整できるため、泳ぎに自信のある人は潜ったりすることも出来るので、とても楽しめました。泳ぎの得意な８歳の娘が子供用のベストでなく、大人用のものを使いたいと泣いていたところ、シャンティが優しく慰めてくれ、大人用のベストに替えてくれました。３回のトライすべてでたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来て大満足でした。ウミガメのポイントでもゆっくりとシュノーケルをさせてくれたので、４~５匹のウミガメとずっと泳いでいられました。このツアーは、本当にゲストを楽しませようという心遣いに溢れており、感激しました。前回のイルカツアーや、別のツアーとは全く違い、ゲストのことを第一に考えてくれていることを常に感じていました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、フラダンスもやってみると意外と楽しかったです。次回もイルカに遭いたくなったらこのツアーで行きます。シャンティ・カイナ・イラ・スティーブ、みんなありがとうね！！

There were few other customers, and I really enjoyed it. I thought the scheduled time might be too short, but I was able to fully enjoy it. I want to go again. It was a bit disappointing that about five attractions were closed, possibly due to the low number of visitors.

他のお客さんも少なくてとても楽しめました。
設定時間では短いかな？と思っていたのですが、十分満喫することができました。
また行きたいと思います。
来場者が少なかったせいか、アトラクションが5つ程度closeだったことが残念でした。

I was looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii, and it did not disappoint! I would love to go again the next time I visit Hawaii.

初のハワイで楽しみに行ったのですが、期待を裏切らない楽しさでした。またハワイへ行く際は行きたいと思います。

There were various troubles during the reservation stage, but Alan was very gentlemanly in his response, which was great. Now, regarding Wet 'n Wild, it definitely gave me the impression of being quintessentially American. The hotel pickup was on schedule, and it took about an hour to get there via the highway, but I was able to enjoy the scenery, so it wasn't a burden. We waited about 30 minutes to an hour to enter, and since it was before the season, securing a spot on the deck was not an issue. I tried two types of tube slides, and both were more intense than those in Japan! However, there was an 8-year-old white girl waiting in line alone, and when we rode together, she was incredibly happy, so it seems that even though they are intense, they are manageable. Additionally, there was a unique pool for bodyboarding, which offers a chance for those confident in their arms to show off their skills... For lunch, it was a buffet, and while it was probably worth the price, I was a bit disappointed when I compared it to hotel buffets. At first, I was worried that the return time for the tour was a bit early, but I was quite tired, so I thought this timing was just right.

予約段階でいろいろとトラブルがあったのですが、Alan１さんが紳士に対応くださったので、よかったです。さて、ウエットアンドワイルドについては、さすがアメリカという印象でした。ホテルでのピックアップは予定通りで、現地まで高速で１時間程度かかりますが、景色を楽しむこともでき苦になりませんでした。入場まで30分から1時間待って、さあ入場。シーズン前であったこともあり、デッキなど場所取りは問題なくできました。アトラクションはチューブスライダーを２種類試しましたが、いずれも日本のものより、過激！です。でも、８歳ぐらいの白人の女の子が一人で並んでいて相乗りとなりましたが、ものすごく喜んでいたので、過激といっても大丈夫なようになっているのでしょう。あと、変わったところではボディーボート用のプールがあり、腕に自信のある方はいいところを見せられる機会もあります・・・。昼食はバイキングで、まあ、値段相応なのでしょうがないですが、ホテルバイキングをイメージするとちょっとがっかりします。初めはツアーの帰りの時間が少し早いのではと心配していましたが、結構疲れていたので、このくらいで丁度よいと思いました。

In early August, I participated with three family members and three friends, totaling six people. The pickup was smooth, and we arrived at the local port in just under an hour. It seemed to be a popular tour, with participants being a mix of Japanese and international guests. There were two boats available, one for Japanese speakers and one for international guests; we chose the international option. After about 15 minutes of departure, we arrived at "Heaven."

Since it was right after a high tide, the sandy beach wasn't visible, but the view was absolutely stunning—something you wouldn't see in Japan, and our excitement was at its peak. My 12-year-old child was snorkeling for the first time, and with a life vest on, they comfortably explored the beautiful underwater scenery. The boat was clean, and we enjoyed lunch in a tropical atmosphere, which was the perfect time to relax.

After lunch, we moved to a turtle watching point for photos, and the return trip was smooth and without any issues. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time!

On the boat, there was a nice breeze, making it comfortable, but be careful as you might get sunburned without realizing it, so make sure to take sun protection. Also, bringing a 500ml plastic bottle filled with tap water is a great idea to rinse off some seawater and feel refreshed!

８月上旬、家族３名と友人ファミリー３名の６名で参加、ピックアップも問題なく１時間弱で現地港に到着。
人気のツアーらしく参加者は、日本＋多国籍の半々構成でした。船は2隻で日本語船と多国籍船お好きな方に乗船（多国籍選択）、出港して１５分で「天国」到着^^
大潮の直後で砂浜は出ていませんでしたが、まさに絶景、日本ではありえない光景が広がって、テンション最高潮。
子供（12）がシュノーケリング初めてでしたが、ライフベスト装着で快適にきれいな水中を散策していました。
船上もきれいで、トロピカルな雰囲気の中でランチをいただきボーーっとした最高の時間が流れます。
ランチ後はカメポイントに移動し、ウオッチング（写真）、帰りもスムーズで問題なく終了しました。
スタッフの皆さん、最高のひと時をありがとう~


船上は風があって快適で、気付かないうちに日焼けしますので、日焼け対策は万全に、後、５００ｍｌのペットボトルに水道水を入れて持っていくと、軽く海水を流せてすっきりですよ

They came to pick us up in the morning, and we arrived in just under an hour.

There are many staff members who speak Japanese well, so it’s very reassuring.

It’s quite popular, with many locals also attending.

We participated in the deluxe plan, which includes unlimited juice and a buffet-style meal centered around meat, along with salads and fruits. It's quite delicious.

The only money needed is for the locker fee:
Large $12 + $5
Small $7 + $5
(The $5 is a deposit that is returned upon presenting the key and receipt.)

There are many attractions, so the day goes by in no time.

You can have a very enjoyable day. I've been here twice, and I want to go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

朝迎えに来ていただいて
1時間弱ほどで到着します。

日本語を上手に話すスタッフの人が多いので
とても安心できます。

現地の人も多く来ているぐらい人気があります。


私たちはデラックスプランで参加したので
ジュースは飲み放題ですし
食事もお肉中心ですがサラダ・フルーツもついて
ブッフェ形式の食べ放題です。
結構美味しいです。

お金が必要なのはロッカー代ぐらいです。
大12ドル＋5ドル
小7ドル＋5ドル
（5ドルは保証金で鍵とレシートの提示で戻ってきます）

アトラクションも数多くありますので
一日があっという間に終わります。

とても楽しく一日が過ごせます。
2回来ましたが次回ハワイに来たときも
また行きたいと思います。

The sandbar unfortunately wasn't visible above the water, but we were able to take great photos with the beautiful scenery in the background. The sea turtles were a bit disappointing. Snorkeling around the coral was fun. The lunch prepared by the captain was also delicious.

サンドバーは、あいにく水面から出ていなかったが、美しい景色をバックに良い写真が撮れました。ウミガメは少し期待はずれでした。珊瑚の周りのシュノーケリングは、楽しかったですね。キャプテンが調理するランチも美味しかったです。

I participated in a tour for the first time, and it was absolutely wonderful. Everything was as beautiful as paradise, and the staff were all very cheerful people, which made it truly enjoyable. The white sand of the sandbar, the cuteness of the sea turtles, and the beautiful fish while snorkeling among the corals created unforgettable memories for the kids as well. Also, the hamburgers on the boat were delicious! An uncle next to us played the guitar and sang, making it a truly dreamy time. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

初めてツアーに参加しましたが、非常に素晴らしかったです。
すべてが天国のようにきれいで、またStaffの皆さんも非常に愉快な方々ばかりで、本当に楽しみました。
Sandbarの白い砂、ウミガメの可愛らしさ、珊瑚でのシュノーケリングの美しい魚たち。子供たちにとってもどれも忘れらない思い出になりました。
それから、船上のハンバーガーのおいしかったこと！横でおじさんがギターの弾き語りをしてくれて、本当に夢のような時間でした。
素晴らしい思い出をありがとう！

Sail and snorkel trip was great. Thanks to the all-girl crew and everyone at Captain Bob's. Special thanks to Jenner for his bus trip narration and musical cruise entertainment.

Only poor note was the ride home. Bus trip back to Waikiki was a nightmare. Traffic was horrible and Vince is way too polite to be a city bus driver.

I got my friends lied for their first trip here and they loved it.
The quality of the leis was outstanding.

We participated as a family of three. Since our child is four years old, we chose this option because intense activities would be too much for him. The color of the sea was truly a beautiful blue, and the colors of the fish were vibrant as well. If we have the chance, we would like to use this service again.

家族３人で参加。子供が４歳なので、はげしいアクテイビテイは厳しいので、こちらを選びました。
海の色が本当にブルーですてきで・・・魚たちの色も映えていました。機会があれば、また利用したいです。

This was my first time participating in this tour. I went with my husband and my nephew, and it was truly fun!! Swimming with dolphins, seeing them up close, and being able to feed rays and beautiful fish in the aquarium tank were all amazing experiences. My husband, my nephew, and of course I had a thrilling and joyful day. I definitely want to participate again next time!

今回初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
主人と甥っ子との参加でしたがホントに楽しかった！！
イルカと泳ぐのも、イルカの泳いでる姿を近くで見られるのも、水族館の水槽に入ってエイやキレイな魚達に手からエサをあげられるのも全て最高の体験でした。
主人も甥っ子も、もちろん私も大喜びの大興奮な１日を過ごせました。
次回もまた参加したいなぁ～と思います。

I booked this for my parents 40th anniversary. My mom had the hollywood version of Hawaii in her head (the hula dancer and ukulele greeting as you walk off the plane) which we all know doesn't happen, so I suprised them with the lei greeting. They were met at the gate with the leis and had grins from ear to ear. I got them the double strand of flowers and everywhere they went (car rental, airport staff, etc) stopped them to tell them it was the best lei they had seen - they see them all day long. This made my parents smile even more. I would highly recommend this to people who are first timers to the island, it really sets a mood for the start of your vacation.

The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

The weather was not great on the day of the tour, but miraculously, it cleared up when we arrived at the sandbar. The gradient from the sandbar to the deep sea was beautiful, and I was very satisfied with it. We also saw nearly ten sea turtles. I didn't realize there were so many of them!

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but I wish the pickup time had been 20 to 30 minutes earlier so that we could have had a bit more time for snorkeling. That way, we would have been able to catch the low tide and see the sandbar more clearly from the water's surface.

当日は天気がイマイチでしたが、サンドバーに着くと奇跡的に晴れました。サンドバーから海の深い所へのグラデーションが美しくとても満足のいくものでした。ウミガメも10匹近く見れました。あんなにいっぱいいるものなんですねー。
全体的には満足のいくツアーでしたが、ピックアップの時間をもう20~30分速めてもらって、シュノーケリングの時間をもう少し取ってもらいたいなと思いました。
そうすれば干潮の時間にも間に合って水面から出たサンドバーも見やすくなると思います。

We participated the day after we arrived in Hawaii. At first, the kids (12 and 9 years old) were hesitant, but in the end, they played until just before the gathering time. Anyway, we laughed, shouted, and had an amazing time. Everyone agreed that we want to come back.

ハワイに着いた翌日に参加しました。
最初、消極的だった子供たち（１２歳、９歳）も最後は集合時間ぎりぎりまで遊んでいました。
とにかく、笑って、叫んで、ものすごく楽しかったです。
また来たいね。って全員一致の意見でした。

The sliders were really fun, and even adults enjoyed them thoroughly. However, the stay was short, so it was difficult to experience everything. Be prepared for long lines during meal times.

本当にスライダーが楽しくて、大人でも十分に楽しめました。ただ、滞在時間が短いのでなかなか全部をまわることはできません。食事時には長蛇の列を覚悟。

When I handed the voucher to the staff at the meeting point on the day of the event, I was anxious about where to receive the DVD gift. However, there were many Japanese staff members in the park, so I was able to ask various questions about things I didn't understand or felt uncertain about.

When I confirmed about the DVD with the staff, they quickly brought me a copy of the voucher, and we were able to receive the DVD gift for the Dolphin Encounter we participated in, which became a wonderful keepsake. (You receive the DVD if you purchase even one photo, and the photo was $16.)

The Dolphin Encounter provided a valuable experience, and the dolphin show was quite lively, different from those in Japan. All the announcements were in English, but even the children who didn't understand English enjoyed watching it very much.

The entire park isn't very large, but we had a lot of fun throughout the day.

当日集合場所でバウチャーを担当者に渡した際、ＤＶＤプレゼントはどこでもらえるのか！？等々不安になりましたが園内には日本人のスタッフも多くいたので分からない事や不安な事は色々聞くことが出来ました。
ＤＶＤの件はスタッフに確認するとすぐにバウチャーのコピーを持ってきてくれたので無事に私達が参加したドルフィンエンカウンターのＤＶＤのプレゼントを頂くことが出来、とても記念になりました。
（写真を一枚でも購入するとＤＶＤがもらえて写真は一枚16ドルでした。）

ドルフィンエンカウンターでは貴重な経験をする事が出来、またイルカのショーも日本とは違ってかなりノリのよいショーでアナウンスは全て英語ですが英語のわからない子供達もすごく楽しんでみていました。

園内全体はさほど広くはありませんが、一日とても楽しめました。

The wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. We had always been doing the Waikiki stuff on vacation in Hawaii before now, but this time we decided to see what was on the Eastside of the island.

And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.

Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

Damien was a great tour guide giving excellent information throughout the entire tour. The greatest part of the trip is the "Grand Canyon" of the islands. Although somewhat expensive (airfare I guess), my wife and I really enjoyed the day.

I'm from NZ and am intending on bringing some 11-12yr olds back next year. I found it very moving and am sure everyone who attends will also be the same. I hope that when I do bring my students back that they will also appreciate and understand the impact it has had on everyone involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I participated with my child. In the pool with the dolphins, my 5-year-old couldn't touch the bottom, but they enjoyed kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins while being held. After the activity, in addition to commemorative photos, we were able to purchase a DVD, so there was no need to worry about recording the video ourselves, making it a great keepsake.

子連れで参加しました。
イルカのいるプールでは子供（５歳）は足がつきませんでしたが抱っこしてもらいながらイルカとキスをしたり握手をしたり楽しんでいました。
アクティビティ終了後には記念写真の他にDVDも購入可能で自分でビデオを回す必要も無く良い記念になりました。

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter. My wife filmed from the observation area. It was great to have the opportunity to touch dolphins, which is not something you get to do often, and my daughter was thrilled. We were divided into two groups, and luckily we were in the group closer to the observation area, so my wife could see us up close. Even small children can participate safely, and my daughter was super excited to kiss the dolphins and receive kisses in return.

The optional tour with Alan1 includes a DVD of the encounter, so we chose this option, and it was lucky because it normally costs $40 if purchased separately. Our return bus was at 2:30 PM, which I think was just the right time to see a few shows after the dolphin encounter. If it were any longer, it might have felt a bit boring.

Overall, I think it's an optional tour worth going on, but since all the staff on the way to and from the encounter, as well as the show, spoke English, I found it a bit difficult to understand since I don't speak English well.

５歳の娘と私で参加しました。家内は見学席でビデオ撮影でした。
イルカに触れることなどなかなか無いので、良かったですし、娘も喜んでいました。２組に分かれていて、運良く私たちは見学席に近い方だったので、家内も近くで見ることが出来ました。小さい子供さんでも安心して参加出来るし、娘もイルカにキスしたり、キスしてもらったり大興奮でした。
Alan1のオプショナルツアーはこのエンカウンターのＤＶＤがもらえるので、このオプショナルにしましたが、通常買うと４０ドルするので、それがもらえるのはラッキーでした。
１４：３０に帰りのバスでしたが、ドルフィンエンカウンターの後のいくつかのショーなどを見るにはちょうど良い時間だと思います。
あれ以上長いとちょっと飽きてしまう感じです。
全体的には行く価値のある、オプショナルツアーだと思いますが、行き帰りのスタッフさんもエンカウンターのスタッフさんもショーもすべて英語なので、英語の出来ない私はちょっとわからないことが多かったです。
