I had a truly valuable experience.
It's something unimaginable in Japan.
I was constantly excited to be so close to wild animals.
I got to see dolphins, of course, as well as sea turtles and whales.
From the exotic boat, I watched dolphins and chased after escaping sea turtles, haha.
Thanks to the captain's arrangements, or perhaps his keen eye, we spotted a whale and even saw it spouting water.
It's an experience unique to traveling abroad that you won't understand until you try it.
I also think the cost performance is quite good.
とても貴重な体験をしました。
日本では考えられない経験です。
野生の動物とこんなに間近で触れ合えて興奮しっぱなしでした。
イルカはもちろん、海ガメ・クジラに会えました。
異国情緒たっぷりな船からイルカをみて、逃げるウミガメを追いかけたりしてw
船長さんのはからいか、神眼かしら?クジラを発見し、潮吹きも見ました。
海外旅行ならでは、行ってみないとわからない体験です。
コスパも悪くないと思います。

It was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was going, I really wanted to see the sandbar, so I signed up for this tour.
It was cloudy on the day of the tour, so the water was cold when I got in, but the scenery was amazing.
I was able to see fish and coral while snorkeling.
Fortunately, I also got to see a sea turtle up close.
The hamburger we had for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
I enjoyed a relaxing lunch on the boat while listening to the guide's live performance, gazing at the beautiful sea, and it created wonderful memories.
初めてのハワイ旅行でした。行くからにはどうしてもサンドバー見たいと思いこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
当日は曇りでしたので、海に入ると冷たかったですが、景色はサイコーです。
シュノーケルで魚やサンゴを見ることもできました。
運よくウミガメも間近で見ることができました。
お昼に頂いたハンバーガー、最高に美味しいです!!
ガイドさんの生演奏を聴きながら船の上でのんびり昼食~綺麗な海を眺めとても良い思い出が出来ました。

It was a very impressive ship, and I was excited from the start! The leisurely cruise was very pleasant, and the captain pointed out the direction where we could see the whales, so we didn't miss the opportunity to see them. We were able to see multiple whales, and they put on various performances, leaving me in awe during my first whale watching experience!
とても立派な船で、最初からテンションが上がりました!
のんびりとクルーズする時間はとても心地よく、
船長さん?が、クジラの見える方角を言ってくださるので、タイミングを逃すことなく
見ることができました。
クジラも複数見ることができ、いろんなパフォーマンスを見せてくれ、
初めてのホエールウォッチングで感動しっぱなしでした!
Thank you very much for boarding the Star of Honolulu. The chances of seeing whales are high during this season. If you have another opportunity, please do board again. We look forward to your visit.

I participated for the first time and was able to enjoy myself to the fullest from morning until evening. I also opted for the meal plan, and while the lunch was a buffet with not too many options, it was delicious. It was great that drinks were also included. I was able to experience all the attractions, which were all very thrilling and something you can't experience in Japan. My spouse and I participated, but I thought it would be nice to bring our children along next time.
初めて参加しましたが朝から夕方までめいいっぱい楽しむ事が出来ました。又、食事付きにしたのですがランチは食べ放題で種類はさほど多くはありませんでしたが美味しかったです。ドリンクの飲み放題も付いていたのが良かったです。全てのアトラクションを体験する事が出来ました。日本では味わう事の出来ないとても迫力のあるものばかりでした。私達は夫婦で参加しましたが子供を連れて来たいな~って思いました。

The distance to the dolphins was far, and the snorkeling experience to see the dolphins was quite short, lasting less than 10 minutes, which was disappointing. However, there was plenty of time for snorkeling with sea turtles after moving to another location, so I wish I could have seen the dolphins a bit longer.
The staff members were very kind.
イルカとの距離が遠く、イルカ見学のシュノーケリング自体は10分弱とかなり短かったのが残念。 その後移動してからのウミガメなどのシュノーケリングタイムはたっぷりあったので、もう少しイルカを見たかったです。

Overall, this place is mainly about interacting with dolphins. It is well thought out, and if you love dolphins, I think you'll be very satisfied. The scale as a marine theme park is not very large, so you might find yourself with some free time before the bus departs. If possible, visiting by rental car might help you make better use of your time.
You can't bring cameras into the dolphin interaction pool, so you'll need to purchase photos and videos, but they take beautiful pictures, making the seemingly high cost of the photos feel worthwhile. However, it is still expensive.
とにもかくにもイルカとの触れ合いがメインの場所。それ自体はよく考えられていてイルカが好きならとても満足出来ると思う。海洋テーマパークとして規模もあまり大きくなく、帰りのバスの出発まで時間を持て余すかも。出来ればレンタカーで訪れた方が時間を有効に使えるかもしれない。
イルカと触れあうプールにはカメラを持ち込めないので写真やビデオは購入することになるが、綺麗な写真を撮ってくれるので高いと感じる写真代も惜しくはない感じはする。が、やはり高い。

It's great that you can ride on a real submarine and enjoy the view of Waikiki from offshore during the transfer to the submarine. However, the underwater scenery from the submarine wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. After the tour, I was informed that there was a free shuttle to Ala Moana, which I decided to use, but it came with the condition of visiting a coral jewelry store... If you're interested in coral jewelry, it might be worth it, but if you're not, it's better not to take it to avoid wasting time.
本物の潜水艦に乗れる、潜水艦までの移動で沖合からワイキキを眺められるといった所が良い。
潜水艦からの海底の風景は期待したほどではない。スタッフは皆親切で好感が持てる。
終了後にアラモアナまでのフリーシャトルに乗せてくれると説明されて利用してみたが、珊瑚のジュエリー販売店での見学が条件だった・・・。珊瑚のジュエリーに興味があれば別だが、興味ない人は利用しない方が時間を無駄にしない。

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and I got the chance to attend the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park, under the Paradise Package. I usually don’t expect much from the food and drinks at these sorts of events, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, especially considering that it is a buffet, and the drinks were not watered down. In regards to the show, it was absolutely fantastic. The cast performed dances from the various Polynesian Islands and the entire time, the Chief is telling jokes (the jokes contain a bit of innuendo) and making sure everyone is having a good time. There is a reason Chief Sielu performs all over the island, practically every day: not only is he a very skilled performer, but he is absolutely hilarious. I will definitely be coming again. Please note that the cast does pull members of the audience for different parts of the show, however, it is not the run-of-the-mill “let’s all dance at the end” type thing, they are actually part of the festivities.

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.

There is only one water park on Oahu. I went with my elementary school daughter, and we had a lot of fun with the various water slides. We drove there with a rental car (with a navigation system), and thanks to the navigation, we were able to find it. However, the operating hours are short, so it's better to arrive early when they open. Our original planned date was March 24, but the weather was bad that day, a bit chilly with rain, so I called and changed it to the next day. They easily accepted the change, which was a relief. The next day was sunny. The water park does not allow outside food or drinks, including fans. There is a baggage check at the entrance, so be careful.
オアフ島でのウォーターパークはそこしかありません。小学生の娘と行きましたがウォータースライダーが色々あって楽しめました。レンタカーで(カーナビ付き)行きましたが、カーナビのおかげでたどり着くことが出来ました。ただ営業時間が短いのでオープンする時間に早めに行った方がいいです。本当の参加予定日は3/24だったのですがその日は天気が悪く、雨で少し肌寒かったので電話をお願いして翌日に変更してもらいました。あっさり変更オーケしてもらい、ホッとしました。翌日は晴天でした。ウォーターパークは飲食物の持ち込みは出来ません。うちわもです。入口に手荷物の検査があるので注意、です。

It was very good. We used the shuttle from Aulani on February 27 with four children and three adults. We had a lot of fun. I recommend it. There were events on the boat, such as hula dance and ukulele workshops, which were enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the hula dance instructor felt sick from seasickness. However, the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I think the lunch was reasonably priced.
Perhaps it was the right season, as we were able to see whales multiple times. Also, it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean perspective, as I had never seen them that way before.
In any case, the children were happy, and I highly recommend it!

First, please note that snacks will be confiscated, so avoid bringing them.
The pool is spacious enough to keep children entertained. However, on weekdays, there are fewer guests, so attractions operate on a one-open, one-close basis. For the boat slide that requires several people, you need to ensure the total weight is sufficient, so families must calculate accordingly.
I was really looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed for the entire day...
The food is delicious.
Also, the changing area is located behind the restrooms, so initially, guests who are unaware may get confused and hurriedly change in front of the outdoor lockers. If you go further in, you'll find the changing area, so please look for it.
まず、お菓子は没収されますので持っていかないようにしましょう。
プールは子供連れには飽きさせない広さです。
ただし、平日ではお客さんが少ないのでアトラクションも
ひとつ開けたらひとつ閉める、といった形態です。
数名で乗るボートスライダーも重さが足りないといけないので、
家族連れでも計算して乗らないと大変です。
ゆったり流れるプールを一番楽しみにしていたのに、そこは一日空きませんでした、、、
ご飯は美味しいです。
あと、着替え場所はトイレの裏なので、初め分からないお客さんがみんな迷ったまま、
野外のロッカー前でそそくさと着替えてしまっていました。
ちゃんと奥にいくと着替え場所があるので、探してみてください。

I previously went to a place in Guam with a similar attraction and had a great time, so I found Wet 'n' Wild online and made a reservation. There were so many different attractions, and it was fun, but perhaps due to the lack of staff? It felt like after one attraction was operated, it would close and they would operate another, so not all attractions were running at the same time. However, it wasn't too bothersome, so that was good.
The attractions were all things that would definitely be considered too dangerous to create in Japan, but everyone was having fun without getting hurt. However, at the very end, I ended up hitting my back hard while going down a slide on a five-person inflatable raft. I was so breathless that I felt a moment of panic and fear from getting injured in a foreign country. A staff member came to help, but it didn't feel like they were going to take me to the hospital; after checking my condition, they just suggested icing it, and they didn't really explain what my injury was like.
After returning to Waikiki, I bought some pain relief patches at an ABC Store and applied them for a couple of days, which helped the pain go away, so that was good. However, since I got injured, I think someone else might get hurt as well. I believe it's important to consider this and ensure that small children are kept safe from injuries.
以前グアムのプールで同じようなアトラクションがある所に行き、とても楽しかったのでネットでウェット&ワイルドを見つけ予約しました。すごく色んなアトラクションがあって楽しかったのですが、従業員が少ないからか?笑 一つのアトラクションを運営した後それは休止して他のアトラクションを運営させるという感じで常に全部のアトラクションが動いてあるという感じではなかったです。でもそれはあまり気にならなかったので良かったですが。
アトラクションは日本では絶対危険すぎてありえない、作れないだろうというアトラクションばかりですが皆さん怪我することなく遊んでいて楽しかったです。しかし私は最後の最後で5人乗りで浮き輪のようなものに乗ってスライダーを降りるやつで背中を強打してしまいました。本当に息ができないくらいで異国で怪我したので一瞬頭が真っ白になるくらい不安で怖かったです。ドクターというか係員が来てくれたのですが、病院に連れて行くという感じではなく、状態を見た後は氷で冷やすという感じで終わってしまい、怪我がどんな感じなのかというのもあまり言ってくれませんでした。その後ワイキキに戻った後ABCストアで湿布を買って2、3日貼っていたら痛みはひいて治ったので良かったのですが、私が怪我をしたということは誰かしらまた怪我することがあると思います。そのことも検討して小さい子どもには怪我をさせないよう考えた方が良いと思います。

I checked the tide levels at the sandbar online in advance and chose this day, so it was disappointing that the temperature was lower than expected and there was a strong wind. However, I still had a wonderful day.
Out of 70 participants, 40 were Japanese (including 10 newlyweds!), and we split into two boats, one with a Japanese guide and the other with an English guide. Since it was a boat with only Japanese people, it felt quite relaxed.
When we arrived at the sandbar and entered the water from the stairs, I was submerged up to my waist. Wow, it was cold! After moving a few meters forward, it quickly became shallow, with the shallowest parts being about ankle-deep. The shallow areas felt somewhat warmer. Here, beginners practiced snorkeling and some enjoyed beach volleyball (it looked tough due to the strong wind).
During this time, the staff actively came to the participants to take photos while guiding us on poses, so we ended up with many memorable pictures. The meal consisted of hamburgers and boiled beans, which were quite delicious.
After eating, we took a tour around an area with many sea turtles (there were a few, but it was difficult to capture the right moment for photos) and moved to a snorkeling point at the coral reef. Due to the cold weather and strong wind, the perceived temperature was quite low, and many people opted out of snorkeling. However, I decided to give it a try since I had bought a waterproof camera that can be used at depths of 15 meters for this day.
Equipped with a life jacket and mask, I entered the water, but I was overwhelmed by the coldness for a while. However, I soon got used to it. The staff threw food from the boat, attracting a lot of fish.
It was my first time snorkeling, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I managed. Once we finished and got back on the boat, the wind blew through, and my body temperature dropped quickly. "Whoa! It's cold!" It felt much warmer in the water. After being advised by the guide, I changed out of my wet clothes into dry ones, which made me feel much better.
I brought a rash guard and reef boots, but the reef boots were unnecessary, and going barefoot was fine. I didn't buy a hoodie, but I think it would have been a good idea.
事前にサンドバーの潮位をネットで調べてこの日にしたので、気温が思っていたより低くて強い風も吹いていたのは残念でしたが、それでも楽しい一日を満喫できました。
参加者70人中日本人が40人(その中に新婚さん10組!)という構成で、日本語ガイド船と英語ガイド船の2隻に分かれて出航しました。
日本人だけの船なので、まあ気楽と言えば気楽です。
サンドバーに着いて、階段から海に入ると腰のあたりまでドボンと浸かりました。うぁ~冷たい!
数メートル前進すると、すぐ浅くなって・・一番浅いところはくるぶし程度です。浅いところは、多少暖かく感じます。ここで、シュノーケル初心者は練習をしたり、ビーチバレーに興じたり(風が強いので、大変そうでした)。
この間、スタッフの方が積極的に参加者の所に来て(ポーズを指導して)撮影してくれるので、思い出深い記念の写真が沢山出来ました。
食事は、ハンバーガーと煮豆?なかなか美味しかったです。
食後は、ウミガメが多いエリアをぐるっと回って(数匹いましたが、撮影タイミングは難しいです)、シュノーケリングを行う珊瑚礁のポイントに移動です。
この日は、寒くて風も強かったために体感温度はかなり低く、シュノーケリングをパスする人もかなりありましたが、折角なので私は頑張る事にしました。そう!この日のために、水深15mまで使えるデジカメを購入して来たのですから・・。
ライフジャケットとマスク類の装備を身につけて海に入ったものの、水の冷たさにしばらく圧倒されていましたが、その内慣れてきました。船上から餌をまいてくれたので、魚がすごく集まって来ます。
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、思ったより上手く出来てちょっと嬉しくなってしまいました。
終わって、船上に上がると風が吹き抜けて一気に体温が下がりました「うお~!寒い」海の中の方がよほど暖かかったように思えます・・ガイドさんに言われて、濡れている物を脱いで乾いた服に着替えたら、だいぶ楽になりました。
私はラッシュガードやリーフブーツを用意して行きましたが、リーフブーツは不要で裸足でOKでした。
パーカーは買わなかったのですが、あった方が良いと思いました。

In March, there is a high probability of seeing whales raising their young near Diamond Head, so I decided to join the tour. During the first trip, I spotted a spout and moved the boat closer, but I couldn't observe anything further. However, this tour offers a free reschedule if you don't see anything, so I participated again for a second chance. During the second trip, I saw about 20 spouts, around 20 tail flukes, and three dives, so I was very satisfied with the experience. I would like to join again.
3月はかなりの確率でダイヤモンドヘッド付近において子育て中のくじらを見ることができるということで参加しました。1回目は潮吹きを確認し船を進めるもののそれ以上の観測はできませんでした。しかし、このツアーは見れないときは無料で次回の振替権をくれたので、リベンジをすべく2回目に参加しました。2回目では潮吹き20回くらい、尾びれも20回くらい、ダイビングも3回ととても旺盛に動いてくれたので大満足でした。
また、参加したいと思います。

I had so much fun watching the whales that I lost track of time. I want to go again. Next time, I will bring binoculars. However, when it was time to take the bus back, I was late getting off the boat, so I had to look for the bus.
くじらを見ることに時間を忘れるほど
楽しかった。また、行きたい。今度は双眼鏡を持って行きます。ただ、帰りのバスに乗る時に、船から降りるのが遅かったので、バスを探しました

We went as a family. We decided to go because we could interact with dolphins, and it was a wonderful experience. We departed from a certain hotel’s meeting point, and it was easy to find the designated bus. However, the information on the bus was mostly in English, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not comfortable with the language. Once we arrived at the site, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so you can feel at ease. The pool was deeper than I expected, and although we wore life jackets, younger children from kindergarten to early elementary school may not be able to touch the bottom, so they need to be supported by an adult. The instructor provided very thorough explanations in mostly English. They let us interact with the dolphins, and it was a lot of fun. The kids were thrilled. I definitely want to go again.
家族で行ってみました。
イルカが触れ合うことが出来るということで行ってみたのですが、非常に良い経験が出来ました。某ホテルの集合場所から行ったのですが、指定のバスはすぐ分かったのですが、バスの中でのインフォメーションは、ほぼ英語の為、苦手な方は、少し辛いかも知れません。現地に着くと日本語を話すスタッフがおりますので安心して下さい。プールは思ったより深く、ライフジャケットは着るものの、幼稚園~小学生の低学年程度だと足が付かないため、引率者が支えている必要があります。プールの中では、インストラクターの方が非常に丁寧に説明をしてくれます。ほぼ英語です。そしてイルカと触れ合わせてくれるのですが、とても楽しめます。子供も大喜びでした。また、是非行きたいと思います。

There were a lot of participants, so I couldn't hear the explanation very well.
There were many sunken ships in the sea, which was a bit disappointing...
The sea turtles were great.
参加の人数が多くて、説明がよく聞こえなかった。
海の中も沈没船が多くて、少し残念。。。
ウミガメは良かった。

Good show, good food, good drinks! Only I would prefer to pay extra drinks with credit card.

The sunset over the beautiful sea was magical and wonderful.
However, the pick-up bus was nearly 30 minutes late, which made me anxious.
I wish there was a system in place to notify us when the bus is delayed...
Perhaps because of the delay, I missed the Kaluapik.
綺麗な海に日が沈んでいくのは幻想的で素晴らしかったです。
ただ 迎えのバスが30分近く遅れ、不安になりました。
バスが遅れる時は連絡をもらえるシステムにしていただけたら…
つく時間も遅れたためか、カルアピックを見逃しました
