This was great.
I boarded the larger submarine. We took a regular boat out to sea and watched as the one we were going to board surfaced before getting on.
Since it was a session with explanations in Japanese, it seemed like the kids understood well.
Whenever we spotted fish, there were squeals of excitement. Even the adults were thrilled when they saw sharks and sea turtles.
Swimming in the ocean is nice, but for those who can't dive, I definitely recommend participating in this activity.
これはよかった。
大きい方のサブマリンに乗りました。
沖合いまで普通の船で行って、自分が乗るやつが
浮上してくるのを見て、乗り込みます。

I have experienced several activities where I could interact with dolphins in Japan, but this was my first time doing the Royal Swim, where I was pushed by two dolphins on the soles of my feet and slid along the water. I wondered if I would be able to hold onto the dorsal fin properly and if I would fall off right away even with their help, but the dolphins seemed to adjust well, and it was fine (laughs).
Before entering the pool, we had a briefing with a group of four foreign families and three Japanese people (we watched a video for Japanese participants beforehand), but since it was in English, I couldn't understand what was being said. However, a Japanese staff member came over during the briefing to explain things. After entering the pool, I noticed the foreign families laughing at the instructor's explanations, and I felt that it would have been even more enjoyable if I could have had translations for them. Nevertheless, I was very satisfied with the interaction with the dolphins.
Afterward, they offered to sell photos and a DVD of me playing with the dolphins, so I think it would be fine even if there were no observers (people taking pictures). However, the price for a single photo was quite high.
日本でもイルカと触れ合えるアクティビティは何回か体験してきましたが、イルカ2頭で足の裏を押してもらってスライドしてもらったのは今回のロイヤル・スイムが初めてでした
。ちゃんと背びれにつかまる事が出来るのか?足裏で押してもらってもすぐに落ちてしまうのではないか?と思いましたがその辺はイルカ達が上手にあわしてくれているんでしょうね・・・大丈夫でした(笑)外国人のファミリー4人と日本人3人のグループでプールに入る前にレクチャー(日本人用ビデオも前もって見ます)をうけましたが英語だったので何を言っているのか自分には分からなかったのですが途中、日本語スタッフの人が来てくれて説明してくれました。プールに入った後もインストラクターの説明や話を聞いて外国人ファミリーが笑っているのを見て一緒に訳してもらえるともっと楽しめたような気がしますがイルカと触れ合えるという点ではとても満足出来ました。その後、イルカと一緒に遊んでいる自分の写真とDVDを販売してくれるので、見学者の方(=撮影する人)がいない場合でも大丈夫かと思いますが
写真一枚のお値段は高かったです。

A great way to see and learn about Hawaii. The hike through the rain forest was very fun and not at all overly exerting (perfect for a vacationing explorer). The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining, offering a perfect mix of commentary, facts and quiet time for some quiet reflection.
The bike tour was also very nice, only it was too short (well, the bottom of the hill has to come eventually). Again, the guide was knowledgable and gave us some spectacular views of Hawaii.

Relaxing on the sandy beach is nice, but it's a fun place where you can make a big splash in fresh water. The ultimate water slide, "SHAKA," is thrilling!
However... I wish I had a bit more free time!

There are many attractions for two or three people, so I think it would be fun to go with a group or family. Unfortunately, the day we visited, the long slide was closed, which was disappointing. However, there were thrilling tube slides that made the time fly by, and I wanted to play even more.
二人乗りや3人乗りのアトラクションが多いのでグループや家族で行かれると楽しいと思います。
残念ながら私達が参加した日は長い滑り台がやっていなくてがっかりしましたが
それに変わるスリル満天の浮き輪すべりなどありあっという間に時間が過ぎもっと遊びたいくらいでした。

I have been here several times, and the local staff are indeed kind, and the attractions are amazing! Everything is spectacular and quite rare in Japan. Some of the attractions with height restrictions can be enjoyed if you pass a swimming test, so even children who do not meet the height requirement can enjoy more activities if they pass the test! I think that system is also quite rare in Japan. It is a bit pricey, but it is worth it, so I definitely want to participate again!
ここへは何度か行きましたが、
やはり現地スタッフの方々も親切ですし、
アトラクションも最高です!
全てが豪快で日本ではなかなかありえないでしょう。
身長制限のあるアトラクションの中のいくつかは、
スイミングテストを受ければできるものもあるので、
身長が満たない子どももテストに受かれば、
より色々なものが楽しめます!
そのシステムも日本ではなかなか無いと思います。
多少お高めですが、行く価値はあるので
是非また参加させていただきたいと思います!

My family & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. My husband is a HUGE history buff, my son - age 15 even enjoyed it, along with my parents (Around 60 yrs. old) and my husband & myself (late 30's) Therefore, you can see that it was interesting for all ages. It was a very spooky feeling standing on the Arizona Memorial, looking down at the sunken ship, seeing the oil still leaking into the water, and reading all of the names of those who perished that awful, fateful day. We also got to meet & take pictures with two of the survivors from that day. They were inside, sitting near the museum signing autographs. One of them was born in Macomb, Illinois, about 50 miles from our hometown of Rockford, so that was very surprising! We had an awesome guided tour aboard the USS Missouri. Took about 90 minutes, we even got to see inside. Saw the bunks where the sailors slept, the control room, radio room, the table where the declaration was signed to end the war, the "mess hall", stood under the g

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I rode a submarine for the first time. I was satisfied since I had always wanted to try it, but all the tropical fish, sharks, and sea turtles were gathered around artificial reefs. There were only a few natural corals. However, I can recommend the 64-passenger submarine for tourists.
ハワイ6度目にして初めて潜水艦に乗りました。一度は乗りたかったので満足はしていますが全て人工の漁礁に集まった熱帯魚、サメそしてウミガメでした。自然なサンゴはごく僅かでした。ただし観光用の64人乗り潜水艦はお勧めできます。

Never been on a helicopter so this was really exciting for me. It is a great way to see the island. The way you are seated in the helicopter is by weight distribution with other passangers so it is by chance you get the window seat or not. The only small complain I have is that I wish the pilot could have circled or turned around on some spots so everyone could have a chance to view the scene. I was lucky to have a window seat but there where times when I had to strain over to see a tourist spot on the other side of the copter and I would be lucky if I was even able to catch a small glimpse of whatever the attraction was.

I had a great time being able to touch dolphins, play with them, and even kiss them. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have to worry about the language and could enjoy myself. The photos they took were so good that I ended up buying them even though I hadn't planned to. However, it was disappointing that, because we were in a Japanese group, we had to walk to the training pool at the back instead of the main pool in the center of the park, and the water there was dirty.
近くでイルカに触れられて一緒に遊べてキスまで出来てとっても楽しかったです。

I want to comment that the driver, Ben, the guide /bus driver, assigned to our tour was the best. He made our trip enjoyable and informative. Our entire group enjoyed his sense of humor and knowledge of Arizona and Missouri tours. In fact you was our tour guide at the USS Missouri. He knew how to make the maximun use of our time and best place for lunch.
We definitely will come back and will request Ben, if he is still owrking for this company.
Excellent value.

The instructors were great-very supportive and helpful.
You need to warn people to wear some footgear-there are sharp rocks that cut our feet walking in after surfing. Also, a photographer/video would be nice since we can't hold on to cameras
while surfing (and you would make more $$).

Our overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat ride was very smooth and fun. The parasailing liftoff/landing was very gentle and easy from the back of the boat.
You have the option of getting dunked, which we did, and it was a blast.
There ws another family on the boat with us that 1/2 didnot want to get dunked and the other 1/2 just wanted to get their feet wet; our driver was so good that he dunked them just to their ankles; it was a perfect feet dunk.
