Since it was my child's first time in Hawaii, we booked a Dolphin Encounter as something special. We planned to go by rental car, so there weren't many options without transportation included, and we made the reservation here.
Our session was at 3:15 PM, but my child started shivering from the cold halfway through. The cooler time of day was not suitable for kids. The Japanese staff explained everything kindly, but once it started, the staff only spoke English, and since the main focus was on taking photos, we couldn't move (we had to take photos at the exit), which was sad because my child was just shivering the whole time.
The photos are expensive, but we bought one as a keepsake of my child kissing a dolphin. Next time, when my child is older, I would like to try the Dolphin Swim. The dolphins were cute but quite firm!
子供は初めてのハワイだったので、何か特別にとドルフィンエンカウンターを予約しました。
レンタカーで行く予定のため、送迎なしプランがあまりなく、こちらで予約しました。
15:15からの回でしたが、途中から子供が寒さで震えだしました。涼しくなる時間帯には子供は不向きでした。日本人スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれましたが、始まってしまうと英語のみのスタッフで、写真撮影がメインな為他の人の邪魔になるから(出口で撮影)うごけず、ずっと震えていて可哀想な事をしました。
写真は高いですが記念にイルカとkissしている物を購入しました。
次はもっと大きくなったら、ドルフィンスイムの方に挑戦してみたいです。
イルカは可愛くて硬かったですよ。

There are so many fun water slides that I've never experienced before! I played all day long and had a great time♪ However, most of the attractions require you to climb up hills and stairs, and many of them involve carrying large and heavy inner tubes yourself to slide down, so I was completely exhausted, more than during any other part of my trip to Hawaii. It might be tough for those who aren't very fit. But it's definitely worth a visit; I had so much fun!!
今までに経験したことのない楽しいウォータースライダーが沢山!1日いっぱい、遊び通しました。とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道&階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、ハワイ旅行の中でもダントツでグッタリしました。体力のない人には辛いかもー
でも、一度は言ってみるべきですね、とっても楽しかったです!!

The 120 meters was higher than I expected, and the strong winds made it very frightening. I thought it might have been too much for my 6-year-old daughter, and I considered canceling the parasailing we had booked for the backup day. However, despite being scared, she surprisingly enjoyed it the second time during our stay.
思った以上に120メートルは高く、強風にあおられとても恐怖でした。
6際の娘にはやはりコクだったかと思いましたが、予備の日で申し込んでいたパラセイリングは、辞めようかと思いましたが、娘は怖がっていた割には、滞在期間中、二度目はあっけらかんと楽しんでいました。

I participated in December. Since it was the beginning of the season, I thought the chances of seeing anything were low, and indeed, I didn't see much. I think I caught a glimpse of a dolphin. The boat was comfortable. For those who didn't see anything, they seem to offer retry tickets valid until April (during this season), but since I can't come to Hawaii that often, I hope they can make it valid for next year as well...
12月に参加しました。
シーズンの初めだったので、見られる可能性は低いと思っていましたが、
やはり見られませんでした。

見られなかった人には、4月まで(今シーズン中)のリトライのチケットをくれるようですが、
そんなに頻繁にはハワイにこられないので、

I took my son to Hawaii for his birthday he has never been. My last trip was the first time I went to the luau at Paradise Cove and my friends and I just got the regular seating. Now I know, for this trip I got the deluxe dinner package same price as the vip covered but with the deluxe you are right at the stage area and it is wonderful!!!! They could serve hamburgers and hot dogs and it would be a wonderful time but they give you great food and all types of entertainment before the show even starts. If you plan on a dinner show while on your vacation you can't go wrong with this one!!! My next trip I will do this one again and again and again wonderful time

Hard to describe the emotions one feels when visiting the Memorial. It is beautiful yet gut wrenching to know you are standing above the sunken Arizona where so many met their demise. One definitely receives an education about a terrible moment in our history. The Volunteers and Veterans were wonderful in explaining the details of such a long ago time. We also had the good luck to meet a survivor. This tour is a must see.

We have snorkeled at the circular-shaped shore of Hanauma Bay on the southeast tip of East Honolulu, you can imagine how this beautiful cove was once a volcanic crater. Today, this crater, likely flooded by wave erosion, is home to an important nature preserve and the island's most popular snorkeling destination.
Our snorkeling trip was arranged by Hawaiiactivities.com and they were quite professional people with prompt responses and is very customer oriented. They arranged Mr. Dan to train us snorkeling. Mr. Dan is best instructor you can have in Honolulu as he explained every steps in a legible and understandable way. He has snorkled with us for many hours.
Whether you’re snorkeling a natural or artificial reef, at the beach or along the mangroves, you’ll discover amazing underwater creatures. Look at (but don’t touch) the vibrant yellow and red coral canyons and purple sea fans swaying in the ocean’s current. Coral is actually alive and it’s extremely delicate. Touching coral is detrimental to its health and can also be dangerous. It’s actually related to the jellyfish and can provide a sharp sting, burn, or cut when touched. A good rule of thumb is to stay in water that’s at least six feet deep while snorkeling over coral.
Look for tropical fish including yellowtail snapper, parrotfish, angelfish, blue tang, grouper, and hogfish. We have come across with Turtle who is is not afraid to swim with us. With such a thriving and diverse ecosystem, there’s nearly as much to discover underwater in Hawaii as there is on land!
Dan took pictures with his under water camera. It was lots of fun. Dan brought snacks, drinks, etc. too. On the way back Dan shared lot of information on best shows and tours in Hawaii. We had a great time and will definitely go again if I'm ever in Hawaii.

This was my first time snorkeling and I came from Canada to visit Hawaii. It was a beautiful experience just because we have a great instructor Mr. Dan through Hawaiiactivities.com. We came to know him through this website. Dan started with all basic instruction and shown all steps for snorkeling in detail. He has snorkeled with us and kept my kids together and safe.
It was a magic day of snorkelling in the biggest coral reef on earth. Thousands of colorful fish in the warm water. Thanks a lot to Dan You're part of memories of a life time.
Dan brought all safety devices and snorkeling equipment. He adjusted the equipment to fit very well with each of us. As my kids were not good at swimming, Dan took much patience to train them. He brought mats and drinks to relax before getting into sea.
I saw dozens of very large angelfish, parrotfish (Blue, Queen, and Stoplight), as well as many species of damselfish and butterfly fish, Sergeant Majors, Yellowtail Snapper, and I even saw a Longspine Squirrelfish! It was an absolutely perfect day.
The water was very clear. At one point I was surrounded by hundreds of fishes all swimming calmly in one direction (schooling). All of a sudden they parted (odd, because I had been swimming with them for several minutes without them seeming to notice), and I saw the most awesome and colorful fish I've ever seen in my life swim 5 ft directly under me! I thought about was how every now and then you hear stories about HUGE catfish the size of Buicks at the bottom of deep lakes.
That being said, you can imagine my initial hesitation on the day of my snorkelling experience at I might have started out a little nervous, but I can tell you right now—it ended up being my absolute favorite experience on the trip.

Don't just settle for the ocean in Hawaii! I was greedy and went to the pool. Since there was a shuttle service, we went straight from the hotel to the pool. Choosing the plan that included meals and drinks on-site was definitely the right choice!
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a large-sized juice holder as a gift, which was great for carrying around. Also, my partner's first bodyboarding experience was hilarious! In the end, they managed to ride the board well (^o^).
I highly recommend this for families with small children. Sunscreen and comfortable beach sandals are essential items.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

The scenery was beautiful, and the two guides who accompanied us (I was a bit worried at first) were very pleasant, making for a really enjoyable time. The images I uploaded were taken with a wearable camera, and I am very satisfied with them.
It wouldn't be interesting to only write good things, so I should mention that the pickup was a bit late, and the same group (who were foreigners) swam like they were in a race, causing my wife to get hit multiple times and almost drown. My wife and son also got seasick after being away from the shore for nearly an hour.
Additionally, the water clarity wasn't as good as I had hoped, the colors of the fish were rather dull, and the turtle was a bit smaller than I imagined.
However, overall it was fun, so I'm glad I participated.
景色は綺麗でしたし、案内して頂いた二人(最初はちょっと心配でしたが)が、感じの良い方々で、すごく楽しいひと時でした。アップした画像は、ウェアラブルカメラで撮った映像で、大満足です。
良いことばかり書いても面白くないので、ピックアップがちょっと遅かったり、同じグループ(外国人の方です)が水泳の様に泳いで妻に何度も手が当たって溺れそうになったり、1時間近く波打ち際から離れて妻と息子が波に酔ったりといろいろありました。
また、透明度が期待していたほどでなかったり、魚の色が地味だったり、カメが想像よりはちょっと小さかったりとかはありました。

The shuttle service to the hotel was convenient.
There were three groups of Japanese and one group of Americans, and we chose the 120m option.
On the way up, there was a strong wind, and it felt like we were over 120m high. I considered the 150m option, but the 120m was plenty of fun.
The final splash in the sea was nice, as it only reached my shins.
I declined the $30 photo shoot and asked a Japanese person to take pictures with my digital camera.
The boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.
The boat staff were very friendly, which was reassuring.

Timely pick-up, great folks, and tasty food. Oh, and did I mention dolphins! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can say that this is by far the best dolphin snorkel I've been on. I got my gear within 5 minutes of check-in and put in my lunch choice. Dolphin Excursions is an educationally based tour company and some of the people there are marine biologists. They seemed to read the behavior of the dolphins very well. The baby spinner dolphins are super cute! This is a great time of year because the dolphins are having babies so they are fun to watch. We went out about 3 times to snorkel, twice with the dolphins so close. I have never seen so many dolphins with me in the water, and you can even hear them 'singing' before you see them. When we got back, lunch was already made. The food is great at Spinner's Cafe, and the people are courteous. I had a great time and can say that many others did as well.
