Everything was explained in English, but they taught us using gestures and simple words. The staff were very cheerful, and even though all the participants were foreigners, we all had a great time together! Of course, enjoying the breathtaking views was wonderful, but climbing and descending using ropes and crossing the suspension bridge were all fun too! I highly recommend it!
説明などは全て英語でしたが、ジェスチャーや簡単な単語で教えてくれました。スタッフの方もとても明るく、参加者は全員外国人でしたがみんなで和気あいあいと楽しむことができました!
絶景を楽しむことはもちろん、ロープを使って登ったり降りたり吊り橋を渡ったり、全て楽しかったです♡おすすめです!

As an adult, I hadn't had the chance to go to a pool in Japan, but I played like a kid again!! I was a bit late and didn't know how to get the tickets, but when I showed the staff at the ticket booth my Berkeley, they quickly helped me out, and I was able to get my tickets without any issues. After that, I enjoyed myself to the fullest☆ I don't have the courage to go in Japan, but I definitely want to go again in Hawaii!!
大人になって日本でプールに行く機会がなかったけど子供にかえったように遊びまくっちゃいました!!少し時間遅れてしまってチケットをどのようにもらえたらよいかわからなかったですが、こちらのバークレーを見せたらチケットブースのお姉さんがすぐに対処していただき、無事にチケットゲットでき、そこからは思う存分楽しみました☆
日本で行く勇気はないけどハワイならまた行きたい!!

We experienced this with four adults and one child (6 years old). Although JALPAK also offers parasailing, it wasn't suitable for our child's age, so we opted for this Hawaiian Parasail, which allows children from five years old.
Depending on the weather, we had a wonderful experience with a stunning view of Diamond Head.
It was a good decision to pay for the $30 photo package. We got 143 photos over two flights, totaling 453MB. They filled almost the entire 512MB SD card. They even took pictures from postcard-like angles, which could be used for New Year's cards.
I wished I could have taken photos while flying, so I put my camera in my pocket when we took off, but it was too risky to take it out. Ideally, it would be great if they offered rentals for something like a GoPro.
We were picked up for the trip, but we decided to walk back to play at the Hilton Lagoon. Even aside from the lagoon, if you walk through the Hilton or next to the Ilikai Hotel, you can easily reach the various trolley bus stops for your next destination. In that sense, having a simple changing room would be the best.
大人4人子供1人(6歳)で体験しました。
JALPAKにもパラセイリングがありましたが子供の年齢的にダメだったので、5歳より可能なこちらのハワイアン・パラセイルで申し込みました。
天候等によるでしょうがダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望でき素晴らしい体験ができました。
30ドルの写真撮影も頼んで正解でした。2フライトで143枚453MB。512MBのSDのほぼ満タンまで撮影してくれました。ポストカード的なアングルでも撮ってくれるので、年賀状にも使えそうです。
飛んでる最中に撮影出来たらと思い、カメラをポケットに入れて飛び立ちましたが落としそうでとても取り出せませんでしたので、欲を言えばGOPROなんかをレンタル出来たらいいと思いました。
行きは迎えに来てもらいましたが、ヒルトンラグーンで遊ぶため帰りは歩きにしました。ラグーンは別にしても、徒歩でヒルトンを抜けるかイリカイホテルの横を行けば各種トロリーバスの乗り場まで出られるので、そのまま次の目的地まで行きやすいのも良いですね。
そういう意味では、簡易的でも更衣室があればベストですね。

I used this service for the first time and had a great time!
First, they picked me up at the hotel entrance around 9:30 AM with a large bus. However, the air conditioning on the bus was broken, and it was quite stuffy. After about an hour of travel, we arrived and were able to store our luggage in lockers, which was very convenient! There were many Japanese staff members, which made me feel reassured.
At the venue, most of the guests were Japanese, and even though it was a weekday, it was relatively uncrowded. The attractions were a bit challenging as we had to climb with large floaties, but they were all high-quality, thrilling, and fun! Even for popular attractions, the wait time was only about 15 minutes. The Tornado was especially enjoyable!
Additionally, the all-you-can-drink plan was a great choice since they provided drinks immediately upon showing the wristband.
At the end of the tour, as an apology for the broken air conditioning on the bus, they gave us a towel with the Wet 'n Wild logo! The attentive service was very appreciated. I would love to participate again!
今回初めて利用しましたが、かなり楽しかったです!!
まず、9時半頃にホテルの入り口まで大型のバスで迎えに来てくださいました。その時に乗車したバスのクーラーが壊れていて、とても息苦しかったです。。
1時間ほど乗車し到着するとロッカーに荷物を預けます。出し入れが自由なのがとてもよかったです!日本人のスタッフの方がたくさんいて安心できました♡
現地ではほとんどが日本人客で、平日だったのですが比較的空いていました。アトラクションは大きな浮き輪を持って登るのが大変でしたが、どれもクオリティが高くスリリングでおもしろかったです!!人気のアトラクションでも15分程度の待ち時間で乗れました
特にトルネードが最高に楽しかったです!
また、ドリンク飲み放題のプランはリストバンドを見せるとすぐに出してくれるので利用して正解でした✨
ツアーの最後に、行きのバスのクーラーのお詫びとして、ウェットインワイルドのロゴが入ったバスタオルを下さいました!
丁寧な対応をして下さりとてもよかったです
また参加したいと思います!
Dear Aloha Ai,
I sincerely apologize for the bus air conditioning being broken. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the attractions.

I visited Wet 'n' Wild for the first time! It's located on the way from Waikiki to the Ko Olina area, and you can see many types of slides from the outside! It was August 31, and compared to similar places in Japan, there weren't many people, so I was able to ride all the attractions in under 15 minutes. There are various types of slides, each offering a unique experience! There were many slides with shapes I had never seen before. In my opinion, some of them were as scary as roller coasters. My husband usually can't handle thrill rides, and I thought he would be okay with the water slides, but as expected, he refused all the ones that looked fast. There are definitely many slides that provide that level of thrill. Additionally, there are other attractions like a lazy river, obstacle courses, and a wave pool for surfers, making it a great place for both kids and adults to have fun! You can't bring your own floaties, but it's great that you can rent them for free! There is a food court inside where you can have lunch. The menu mainly consists of junk food like hamburgers and fries. I definitely want to go back next time!
初めてウェット&ワイルドに行ってきました!場所はワイキキからコオリナ地区に向かった途中にあるのですが、外から見てもたくさんの種類のスライダーが見えます!8月31日だったのですが、日本の同様の場所と比べて、人も多くなく、すべてのアトラクションに15分以内に乗れました。色々な種類のスライダーがあって、どれも一味違ったスライダーを体験できます!初めて見る形のスライダーもたくさんありました。わたしの主観ですが、ジェットコースター並に怖いものもあります。夫が普段絶叫系に乗れない人で、ウォータースライダーなら乗れるだろうと思っていたのですが案の定見た目が速そうなやつは全部拒否されました。それぐらいスリル感があるスライダーも多くあります。また、スライダー以外にも流れるプールや、アスレチックのようなもの、サーファーのための人工で波を作るやつなど子供から大人までがっつり遊べる場所でした!浮き輪は持ち込めないのですが、無料でレンタルできるのでよかったです!食事は中にフードコートが設置されていて、そこでお昼ご飯を食べることができます。ハンバーガーやポテトなどジャンクフードが中心でした。次回行く時もぜひ行きたいと思います。

Honestly, it was tough for a 47-year-old overweight woman like me. However, since the lesson was in English only, I thought I had to interpret, so I participated. My 14-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son quickly learned to stand on the board and were surfing stylishly. I was especially glad to see my rebellious daughter working hard with a genuine smile. My son, who isn't very athletic and usually slow, was told, "He has talent. When we go back to Japan, get him a board and a wetsuit," and he seemed motivated by that. If only we lived by the sea... I have been suffering from pain in my left knee and right arm due to physical labor, but I pushed through. However, it was quite a struggle to get back on the board after falling. I took a break before returning to the instructor. When I said, "I'm tired," I was told, "This is a two-hour lesson just to get tired." The instructions were mostly in English, and the instructor, who could speak a little Japanese, only knew phrases like "favorite student," "number one," "paddle right," "turn," and "paddle left." According to the kids, while I was trying, they said, "Mom, bad." But one by one, they praised me as "number one," which lifted my spirits. I finally managed to get on the board twice. A couple watching said, "Nice challenge." After it ended, without a moment to rest, we carried the very heavy board back to the office, which was a five-minute walk. I saw that other groups were being charged $35, but we got it as a gift. Additionally, the kids received a T-shirt each. Did we pay an extra fee for the family private lesson? Maybe they realized I was poor when I said I worked at a market? But they were nice people. That same day, I started feeling muscle pain in my arms, and surfing, which was the most challenging activity for me, became the most unforgettable memory. Above all, the happy faces of my children are treasures. I remember their best smiles along with the pain in my arms. Passive activities are nice, but it feels great to be able to work hard and achieve something. Unfortunately, I think the people at the office assumed I didn't understand English, as they were gossiping about me at first, which felt quite unpleasant. They laughed and said, "Is she?" in a derogatory manner. After choosing surfing shoes, I wasn't told what to do next and was left alone; when I asked, I was just brushed off with a "nice." After a while, a guy conducting group lessons explained things, and once he realized I understood some English, he changed his attitude. They probably made assumptions about me based on my age, but their behavior towards customers was unacceptable. I was ready to complain if that attitude continued, but then our instructor appeared, and he was nice, so I let it go. The unpleasantness from the office staff cost them one star. By the way, one of the women at the office was playing Pokémon Go in front of customers without a care.
正直、47歳の太ったおばさんにはキツイです。でもレッスンが英語のみなので通訳せねば、と思って一緒にやりました。中2の娘と小6の息子はあっという間にボードの上に立てるようになり、かっこよくサーフィンしていました。特に反抗期の娘がすごく素直な笑顔で頑張っているのをみて、やってよかったと思います。小6の息子もあまり運動神経が良い方ではなく、普段トロいのですが、「彼には才能がある。日本に帰ったらボードとスウェットスーツを買ってもらえ。」と言われてその気になっていました。海辺に住んでたらね…。私は肉体労働で左ひざと右上腕を痛めているのですが、そんなこと言ってられないので、頑張りました。が、落ちてはボードに乗るのに一苦労。先生のところに戻る前に休憩。「疲れた。」と言うと、「疲れたるためだけの2時間レッスン」だと言われました。基本全部英語で、日本語が少しできるという先生は「お気に入り生徒」「1番」「右 こぐ」「まわって」「左 こぐ」くらいでした。子ども達によると私がチャレンジしている間「ママ バッド」と言っていたそうです。でも順番に全員「1番」とほめてくれて、気分よくしてくれました。私もやっと2回ボードに乗れました。見ていたカップルに「ナイス チャレンジ」と言われましたよ。終わったあと休む間もなくボードを運び(すごく重いです)、歩いて5分の事務所へ帰る。CDを見て他のグループレッスンの人たちは35ドルとか言われてましたが、うちはプレゼント。あと、子どもたちにT-シャツ1枚ずつプレゼントされました。3人でファミリープライベートレッスンにするのに、追加料金を払ったから?私の仕事を聞かれてマーケットで働いていると言ったから、貧乏なのがわかったから?でもいい人でした。その日のうちから腕の筋肉痛が始まり、サーフィン、私にとっては一番つらいアクティビティだったのに、一番忘れられない思い出になりました。何よりも子どもたちの嬉しそうな顔が宝物です。腕の痛さとともに子ども達の最高の笑顔を思い出します。受動的なアクティビティもいいのですが、やはり、自分が頑張って何かをできるようになるっていいものですね。でも残念なのは事務所の人たちが英語がわからないと思ったのか、最初私の噂話をしていて、かなり感じ悪かったです。「彼女が?」と蔑むように言われて笑われました。サーフィン用のくつを選んだあと、何をするのかも言われず、ほっとかれて、聞いても「ナイス」とごまかされて答えてもらえず。しばらくして、グループレッスンをしているお兄さんが説明してくれて、ある程度英語がわかると思ったら態度を改めていましたが、たぶん年齢とかから私をどんな人物か推測していたのでしょうが、お客様に対してありえない態度でした。その態度が続いたら文句を言おうと思っていましたが、その後私たちの担当だという先生が現れて、感じがよかったのでよしとしました。事務所の人たちの感じ悪さで星1つマイナスです。ちなみに事務所の女性はお客様の前だというのに構わず「ポケモンゴー」をしていました。
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson and for your valuable feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time with your child. The photo CD and T-shirt are included in the lesson fee, so we hope you can make use of them. We apologize for any unpleasant experience caused by our staff's response. Based on your feedback, we will strive to provide better service in the future. We look forward to your participation again when you visit Hawaii next time. MAHALO!

The dolphins are so cute! We watched the show (in English), fed them (additional cost), and explored the not-so-large zoo-like area. We checked in ourselves, used the lockers, changed, and gathered. This locker system can be confusing for those who don't understand English. First, you need to buy a special coin for the locker at the counter (the check-in counter is separate from the one for purchasing items) for $3. You use that coin for the locker. For Japanese people, it can be unclear whether the coin is for the locker or change, and I saw someone struggling to figure out how to close the locker, thinking it was change. Although it said "deposit," it is not a deposit, and the money is not refundable. We couldn't fit all our bags into one locker, so we used two. A Japanese guide kindly explained in detail what to do for the activities, and we put on life jackets and received explanations in English. I wear contacts, and when I asked if I should wear goggles, I was told that my head wouldn't go underwater, so it was fine to keep my contacts in, but I was advised not to wear goggles. I learned the names and origins of the dolphins, and one dolphin had appeared in a movie with Johnny Depp 15 years ago, but all that information was in English. I could only understand about two-thirds of it, and although I heard the movie's name, it was one I didn't know. I couldn't find out about it after returning to Japan either.
Swimming with the dolphins was more about completing five activities: kissing them sideways, kissing them face-to-face, holding them from underneath, swimming while holding onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins, and being pushed by two dolphins while swimming, all while posing for photos and videos. At first, we all signaled each other and felt like trainers, feeding the dolphins and petting them. It was great to see their impressive jumps and tricks up close. However, the price is just too high, so I give it four stars. While I'm happy to interact with the dolphins, 25,000 yen per person is excessive. At that price, I would expect all explanations about the dolphins to be in Japanese. Since we had a very kind Japanese guide, it would have been nice to have that. It feels like they think Japanese people are just cash cows. Additionally, the prices for photos and CDs were shocking. About 5,000 yen for a set of five photos times three is no joke. But when I saw the CD being played, I really wanted it. In the end, I bought the CD and two photos each. The person with the camera was okay and explained in English, but the man filming was rude to Japanese people and had no friendliness at all. He was extremely unpleasant. There are changing rooms, but I wished there were showers.
On the bus ride there, the guide suddenly stood up and explained that there are many photo spots for first-time visitors to Hawaii, so we should have our cameras ready. I don't like taking pictures through the window, so I didn't take any, and the kids were sleeping. I also found it hard to catch everything since the guide spoke quickly in English, so I only understood about two-thirds of it. However, I was able to summarize it for the kids on the way back, so I think I understood to some extent. I was surprised because I hadn't experienced anything like this on other tours, but then I realized it was a sightseeing bus. Since it was a sightseeing bus, it made sense that the guide would explain things normally. I think it's great for those who understand English, but I wish they would speak in Japanese for those who don't. By the way, I heard that there are hardly any places in Hawaii that use plastic bags. Sometimes they are used in supermarkets, but Hawaii has decided not to use plastic bags for environmental reasons. When I tried to get a plastic bag because the photos might get wet, that was the explanation I received. I recommend bringing your own plastic bags in advance.
Also, even if tips are not listed in the "included items" on this site
イルカかわいい~!!ショー見て(英語)、餌やりをして(費用別)、あまり広くはない動物園のような園内を見て、自分でチェックインして、ロッカーを使用し、着替えて集合。このロッカーも英語がわからない人にはわかりずらいけど、まずはカウンター(チェックインカウンターと物を購入するカウンターは別)でロッカーの専用コインを3ドルで購入。そのコインでロッカーを使用します。日本人にはロッカー用コインなのかお釣りなのか分かりにくく、お釣りだと思ってロッカーをどう閉めるのか悩んでた人がいました。このロッカー、確かデポジットと書いてあったのにデポジットではなく、お金は戻らないロッカーです。うちは3人分の荷物が入りきらず、ロッカーを2つ使用しました。あとは日本人のガイドさんが丁寧に何をどうすればいいのかアクティビティについて詳しく説明してくれて、胴衣を着て今度は英語で説明を受ける。コンタクトしてるけど、ゴーグルした方がいいのかと聞いたら、頭は水につけないので、コンタクトでもかまわないけど、ゴーグルはしないように言われました。イルカの名前や由来、1頭のイルカはジョニーデップと一緒に15年前に映画にでたという話でしたが、その辺の話は全部英語。私も2/3くらいしか理解できず、映画の名前も聞いたけど、知らない映画でした。日本に帰ってから調べてもわからなかったです。イルカと一緒に泳ぐ!というよりは、5つの項目:キス横顔、キス真正面、イルカを下から抱っこポーズ、2頭の背びれにつかまって泳ぐ、2頭に足を押されて泳ぐ、というのを順番に写真やビデオにポーズをとりながらこなして行く感じでした。最初はみんなで合図をだしてトレーナー気分になったり、餌をやったり。身体をいい子いい子したり。すごいジャンプや芸も間近で見られてよかったです。ただ、あまりにも金額が高すぎるので星4つです。イルカと触れ合えるのは嬉しいけれど、一人25000円は高すぎでしょう。この値段なら、イルカのことなどの説明も全部日本語でしてほしいです。せっかく日本人のガイドさん(しかもとても親切)がいるのだから。最低限のことだけ通じればいい、というのはイルカには優しいけど、お客様には優しくありません。日本人はただの金づるだと思われてるな、と感じます。更に写真やCDが高くてびっくり。5枚セットで5000円くらい×3なんて冗談じゃない。でもCDが流されていて、見るとやはりほしい。結局、CDと写真2枚ずつ買いました。カメラの人は英語の説明をしていてまあまあ感じいいのですが、ビデオを撮影した男は日本人をばかにしていてまったく愛想がない。超感じ悪かったです。更衣室はあるけど、シャワーがほしかったです。行きのバスの中で途中から急にガイドさんが立ちあがってハワイ初めての人は写真スポットが沢山あるからカメラを用意して、と言って色々説明してくれました。わたしは窓ごしの写真はあまり好きではないので撮りませんでしたし、子ども達は寝ていました。私も英語で早口なので2/3分かったかどうか…。でも帰りに子ども達にかいつまんで話せたので、ある程度は理解できていたと思います。他のツアーではこんなことなかったのでびっくりしましたが、そういえば、バスが観光バスだなと思いました。観光バスなので普通にガイドさんが説明するのだと。英語が分かる人にはとってもいいと思います。分からない人は日本語で話してほしいと思いますが。ちなみにハワイにはビニール袋を扱っているところはほとんどないそうです。たまにスーパーなどで使っているけど、今ハワイはエコのために、ビニール袋を使用しないように決められているのだそうです。写真が濡れるからビニール袋をもらおうとしたらそう説明されました。予め自分でビニール袋を用意して行くことをお勧めします。
あと、このサイトの「含まれるもの」にチップと書いてなくてもチップが含まれているオプションも沢山ありました。いちいち15%~20%?と最初はまじめに考えて計算していきましたが、現地で各ツアーに電話で確認しました。ほとんどいらなかったです。まず、チップが必要なものでも20%は払いすぎ。アメリカ人は15%が普通だそうで、それも面白かったら払うだけで、必ず払わなければいえけないわけではありません。なんか日本人は英語が話せない人も多く、チップを多め多めに払うようで、すごくあきれられています。全く当たり前のように払わないのも問題ですが、あくまでも定額以上の仕事をしてくれたら、です。

We rode a motorboat in groups of three and took turns flying out over the ocean. I was nervous since I was the first one, but the moment my feet left the boat, I felt a wonderful sensation of floating! In no time, we soared high into the sky. The vast expanse of sky and sea surrounded us, with islands and buildings in view. The sea was deep, yet its beautiful blue was evident. I was worried about flying together with my middle school and sixth-grade children, but we had no problems and enjoyed the wind while chatting happily. I thought I would be in the middle, but my lightest son ended up there. While my daughter and I were sitting, my son was standing. But honestly, those details didn't matter. I had told the captain in advance that I wanted to get wet, and at the end, he gave us a splash! I had also requested photos beforehand, and they took a lot of pictures for us. It didn't seem like they were taking that many, but there were about 150 shots. Everyone's happy faces and the scenery were captured beautifully. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't perfectly clear, so the landscape photos looked a bit dark, but there were many great expressions, which was wonderful. It's a good idea to request photos in advance. After getting off the boat, we checked a few on the computer, and if we liked them, we could buy them; if not, we wouldn't have to purchase. There was no need to tip, or rather, there wasn't even time to do so. It was probably included. The driver who picked us up from the hotel was also very nice, saying, "The view is great, it's the best. I guarantee you'll have fun." After it was over, he kept cheerfully asking, "Did you have fun? Of course, right?" and our drive was enjoyable as well.
3組でモーターボートに乗り、沖にでて1組ずつ飛びました。一番最初だったのでドキドキしましたが、足がボートから離れた瞬間、ふわっと飛びあがる感覚が気もちイイ!!あっという間に大空へ高く舞い上がりました。空と海が広くひろがり、周りには島やビル。深い海なのに青いのがわかる綺麗な海。中学生と小6の子どもたちと3人だったので、一緒に飛べるのか不安でしたが、問題なく飛べてワイワイ話しながら風を感じることができました。私が真ん中かと思ったら一番軽い息子が真ん中。私と娘は座っているのに、息子は立っているような状態でした。でもまあ、そんな細かいことはどうでも。予め英語でキャプテンに「濡れたい。」と言っていたら、最後にジャボン!としてくれました。また、予め写真をお願いしていたので、写真も沢山撮ってもらえました。そんなに撮っているように見えなかったのに150枚くらいとか。みんなの嬉しそうな顔や景色が映っていました。残念ながらお天気が快晴ではなかったので、景色の写真はちょっと暗い感じでしたが、良い表情が沢山あって、とてもよかったです。写真はとりあえず頼んでおくといいです。船から降りて、パソコンで何枚かチェックして、良かったら買う、あまり良い写真じゃなかったら買わない、という制度でした。チップは払う必要はなかったです。というか、払う暇はありませんでした。たぶん込みかな。ホテルからの送迎をしてくれた運転手さんもとてもいい人で、「景色がよくて、最高だ。絶対楽しいことを保証する。」と言っていましたし、終わった後も「楽しかった?やっぱり。良かっただろ?」とずっと明るくお話をしてくれてドライブも楽しかったです。

I arrived before the 10:30 opening and was told to wait until 10:15 to exchange my ticket. People who purchased tickets on the day could buy them around 10:00. Since those who bought tickets could line up for entry, I wondered if it would have been better to buy on the day. However, the all-you-can-drink soft drinks are worth it if you have three cups, so that was nice. But the options are a bit lacking, as the carbonated drinks like Pepsi and Mountain Dew are mixed with overly sweet fruit juices without carbonation. I wish there was water available. There are mostly thrilling water slides, and compared to Japan, it's less crowded, so you can slide continuously. If you're not good with this kind of thing, it's better not to go. For those who enjoy it, you can slide as much as you want and be very satisfied.
10時半のオープン前に到着し、チケットに取り換えようとしたら、10:15まで待つように言われました。当日購入の人は10時ごろから買えているのに。チケットを買えた人から入場の列に並べるので、当日購入の方がよかったのかな、と。でもソフトドリンク飲み放題は、3杯飲めば元が取れるので、まぁよかったかな。ただ、ペプシやマウンテンデューなどの炭酸系と、炭酸なしは甘ったるいフルーツジュースなので、選択肢がイマイチかも。水が飲みたいのにな、と思います。ほぼ絶叫ウォータースライダーしかなく、日本に比べてすいているので立て続けに滑れます。こういうのが苦手な人は行かない方がいいでしょう。好きな人はめいっぱい滑れて大満足です。
Aloha Kimi,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will work on improving the drinks.
We look forward to your next visit.
アロハKimi様、
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。飲み物は改善させて頂きます。

We were able to have a tour just for the two of us. The beautiful sea and the fish that not only didn't swim away but actually came closer. We also had a photoshoot underwater, and I was really satisfied.
たった二人のために ツアーをしてもらえました。
きれいな海と 逃げていかないどころか 寄ってくる魚たち。
海の中での撮影もしてもらって すごく満足できました。
Thank you for joining our tour. It was lucky that you had a private tour for just the two of you! I'm glad you enjoyed the time with all the fish. Please come back for another tour when you visit Hawaii again. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you. Mahalo!!

We are a couple in our 50s, participating with our 4th-year university daughter. We were unsure about the morning program, but this plan turned out to be the right choice. The sandbar was beautiful, but there weren't many fish while snorkeling, so it felt a bit lacking. However, the snorkeling after moving to the coral reef was absolutely satisfying. We experienced schools of fish and saw a turtle up close in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to thank the man who entertained us on the bus and Yuki, who was very attentive on the boat. My wife and daughter were also very satisfied!
54歳同士の夫婦、大学4年生の娘と3人で参加。午前中のプログラムと迷いましたが、このプランで正解。サンドバーは綺麗でしたが、シュノーケリングしても魚もいないので、こんなものかなぁと。その後の、珊瑚棚に移動してからのシュノーケリングが大満足。魚の群れ入るは、海の中でホヌが至近で見られるは、これまでに無い経験。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったし、行きのバスを盛り上げてくれたおじさん、船でいろいろと気を使ってくれたユキさん、ありがとうございました。かみさんも娘も大満足でした!

We had a great time and it's definitely worthwhile to check out the Sandbar. The water is just beautiful and great snorkelling too. Lunch was also very decent. We had hamburger and pineapples and tortilla chips on the side. The only thing that bothered us was that the Captain kept on assuming we are Japanese and that we don't speak English (given that there are a lot of Japanese tourists on the boat). He repeatedly tried to communicate with us in very broken Japanese. We look Asian, but we are Canadian and we don't understand Japanese. I always reply him in English but he keeps forgetting that we speak English. Maybe he thinks we all look the same. He loved making conversations in English with Caucasian guests, called out the non-Asian names on his list of guests, and ask them where they were from, whether they were celebrating an occasion, but made no effort to talk to us the same way. The translator, think his name was Freddie, initially assumed we were Japanese too but caught on right away that we are English speakers which was great. Other staff were very nice and helpful. Overall we did have a great time and I would recommend this, only the Captain frustrated us a little.

I participated in the morning whale watching tour. Perhaps due to the cloudy sky, the whales didn't show up. Since I was returning home that day, I couldn't use a rain check. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing to be done. However, as a birdwatching enthusiast, I was relieved to see the rendezvous flight of the white tern from the boat.
午前のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。曇り空のせいか、クジラさんは出てくれませんでした。その日に帰国するので、レインチェックも使えず。自然が相手なのでしかたないのですが、残念でした。バードウォッチングが趣味なので、船上からシロアジサシのランデブー飛翔が見られたのが救いでした。
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to see any whales. I wasn't aware of the name "Shiroajisashi," but it's a beautiful photo. The whale season will begin again on December 15th. If you have the opportunity, please come back to search for whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

We participated as a group of four: two adults (women) and two children (a 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl).
Our experience was... so much fun!!!
We decided to go on a whim during our stay and made a reservation on-site. Since it was a last-minute booking, I had various concerns, but the transportation was on time, which was reassuring.
There were many thrilling slides that you wouldn't typically find in Japan, and at first, I wondered if the kids would be okay. However, once they tried it... they had so much fun! They kept asking, "What should we ride next?" The kids were really excited, but honestly, carrying the four-person tube up the hill and stairs was tough, even though we managed to do it (laughs).
The area is paved with concrete, so you can walk around in beach sandals, but when you go on the slides, you have to take them off and climb up barefoot. It was so hot!!! Therefore, I recommend wearing marine shoes or other types of footwear that won't come off easily.
We're planning to go again next year, so we definitely want to participate!
大人2名(女性)、子供2名(女児10歳、7歳)の4名で参加しました。
体験した感想は。。。楽しかった~!!!です。
滞在中に急遽行こうと言う事になり、現地で予約しました。
直前の予約だったので色々と不安だったのですが、送迎も時間通りで安心できました。
日本ではまずないだろうという絶叫スライダーが多数あり、最初は子供達は大丈夫か??と思ったのですが、体験してみると。。。楽しかった~!次何乗る??と。
張り切る子供達ですが、2名乗りチューブならまだしも4名乗りチューブを持って坂道と階段を登るのが正直辛かったです。
でも頑張りましたけどね(笑)
ただ、場内はコンクリート舗装でビーチサンダル等で歩けるのですが
スライダー等に乗るときは、下で脱いで登らなくてはならいのです。
暑くて暑くて!!!
なのでマリンシューズ等脱げないタイプの履物がおススメです。
来年も行く予定なので、是非参加したいです。

With a reservation made and paid for 3 weeks in advance, with no notification, apology or anything we got stood up! When you travel thousands of miles and program once in a lifetime activities you have to be able to rely on these on line bookings! We fully regret using this company as we lost a whole day of a planned activity, you simple can't afford to waste time like this when you are on vacation for a limited amount of days. Telling us "we will refund your money" just isn't enough! DO NOT BOOK YOUR SNORKELING TOUR HERE!!
Warm Aloha Maritza,
Your reservation was reconfirmed with the activity provider the day before so we were surprised to hear that you were not picked up as scheduled. We are not sure where the mishap occurred but have spoken to them to prevent this from reoccurring in the future. We hope had a wonderful time with the alternative activity we booked you on.

You can enjoy both the magnificent scenery and the zip line. The entry is in English on a tablet, so it's a bit hard to understand. It took about five days for the photos to be uploaded after I requested them.

Everything went smoothly from the hotel pickup. The guide speaks only English, but it's not a problem if you understand basic English. For $30, they will take many photos with a DSLR. I'm not sure about those who are afraid of heights, but it felt really nice. However, since the time spent on the boat is long, don't forget your sunscreen!
ホテルへの送迎から全てスムーズに進みます。ガイドは英語のみですが、簡単な英語が分かれば問題ないです。30ドルで一眼レフで沢山写真を撮ってくれます。高いところが苦手な方はわかりませんが、とても気持ち良かったです。ただし、ボートに乗っている時間が長いので、日焼け止めを忘れずに!

The sandbar was deeper than I expected, which surprised me! I've heard that the beach appears only during certain times. Snorkeling was so much fun! There wasn't much explanation on how to use the snorkeling gear, so I almost felt like I was going to drown until I got the hang of it (laughs). We saw beautiful corals, fish, and sea turtles. I went with my family and husband, and we all had a great time!
サンドバー、思ったより深くてびっくり!!砂浜が現れるのは時期があるそうです。シュノーケルすごく楽しかった!シュノーケルの使い方の説明があまりないので、コツを掴むまで溺れそうになったけど(笑)きれいなサンゴ、魚、ウミガメ見れました家族と旦那と行きましたが、みんなで盛り上がりました!
