Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Great Tour

Reviewed by: Randy

Captain Spencer and his First Mate Jesse were both great. The boat is great, the snorkel gear is great, the sights are awesome and everybody at Ko Olina was friendly and helpful. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $10 to rent the wetsuit, especially if you take the morning tour. The water is fine, but once you get back out on the boat, the wind is very chilly until you get good and dry. Also MAKE SURE and observe the instructions about PASSIVE swimming around the dolphins!!! If ANYBODY kicks you will probably not get to see these amazing creatures up close under water! We had quite a few in our group who couldn't seem to follow these very simple instructions and only a couple of people got to see the dolphins up close. We all got to see them swimming very close to the boat while we were onboard though. Capt. Spencer went way out of his way to give us three good tries though, and this tour was a real highlight on our Hawaiian vacation.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ 絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: チョコ

I immediately recognized the large bus marked "Wet n Wild." The driver was a foreigner, but the guide was Japanese, and I quickly received a wristband that served as my ticket before boarding the bus.

Inside the bus, there was a monitor, and I thought they would show videos of the park, but it only provided audio explanations. That was a bit disappointing. Since I had some free time, I looked at the pamphlet I received. The bus stopped at about five hotels and took about an hour to reach our destination. However, there was no explanation that the park opened at 10:30, so we arrived at 10:00 and ended up waiting in the blazing sun for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. (During that time, I applied sunscreen.)

Additionally, I heard from the guide that no food or drinks could be brought into the park, so I threw away two half-finished plastic bottles in the trash at the entrance. However, the guide who checked our bags only glanced at them briefly. (That felt a bit wasteful.)

The park was very large, but since there were children with us, the activities were somewhat limited. So, we mostly played (taking turns as a couple). There was a long slide suitable for kids, and there were water guns, and if you let your guard down, water would splash down on you, which was a lot of fun. We played together with other children.

For lunch, there was only one place to eat. Moreover, there was no Japanese menu, so we ordered by looking at pictures. I wasn't sure what the rolled item was, but it turned out to be slightly spicy potatoes. It was quite tasty. Just keep in mind that only cash is accepted, so it might be a good idea to bring a little extra.

Since my child is small, I needed towels and tissues for wiping noses, so I didn't leave my bag in a locker. I placed my belongings on a chair while we played, but there were staff members around, so nothing happened. In the lazy river, we borrowed floaties and swam together, and our belongings were safe.

For the return trip, we had to gather at the bus by 3:15, so the time really flew by. After eating and playing a bit, it was already 3:00. If you want to do more, you might need to manage your time carefully. Since you also need to account for the time to return to the hotel, it can't be helped, but I wish they would stay open a little longer (the park closes at 4:30).

The return bus had air conditioning, so...

ウエットアンドワイルドと書かれた大きなバスでピックアップすぐにわかりました。
ドライバーさんは外人さんでしたがガイドさんが日本人の方で、すぐにチケットとなるリストバンドを手首にしてバスに乗りました。

バスの中にはモニターがあって園内の映像でも流れるのかと思ったらただ音声での説明だけ。ちょっと残念。暇だったのでもらったパンフレットを見てました。
バスは5件くらいホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間くらいでつきました。
でもオープンが10時半からと説明もなかったので10時に着いてわけもわからず30分くらい炎天下で並んでいました。(その間に日焼け止めを塗りましたが)

また、園内には飲み物や食べ物は一切持ち込めないとガイドさんから聞いていたので、飲みかけのペットボトル2本を入口のゴミ箱に捨てました。でも見に来たのはさっきのガイドさんで、しかもさらっとしかバックを見なかったです。(ちょっともったいなかった)

園内はとても広かったですが子供もいたので遊べる物は限られていました。なのであまり他のことはしないで(夫婦交代交代で)遊びました。でも子供にしては長いすべり台もあるし水が出る鉄砲みたいなのはあるし、気を抜いていると貯まった水がジャーっとかかるしと、とっても楽しかったです。他の子供と一緒になって遊んでいました。

お昼は食べるところが1箇所しかないです。しかも日本語メニューはないので絵でみて注文しました。クルクルしたものがなんなのかわからなかったのですが、ちょっと辛いポテトでした。普通においしかったです。ただ全て現金しか使えないので少し多めに持って行った方がいいかも。

子供も小さいのでタオルや鼻水を拭くティッシュが必要だったのでバックはロッカーには預けませんでした。イスに荷物を置いて遊んでいましたがあちらこちらにスタッフがいるので何事もありませんでした。
流れるプールでは浮き輪を借りてみんなで泳ぎましたが荷物も無事でした。

帰りは3時15分にバスに集合だったので、ホントにあっという間です。ご飯を食べてちょっと遊んで着替えるとすぐに3時です。他にもあれこれ乗りたいなら時間配分が必要かも。ホテルに帰る時間も必要だからしょうがないけど、もう少し遅くまでやっていればなーと思います(園内は4時半で終わり)

帰りのバスはクーラーが効いているので

The day flew by in the blink of an eye. 1日がアッと言う間に過ぎました。

Reviewed by: リベロ

I participated on Sunday, April 29, during Golden Week. I expected it to be crowded, but perhaps due to the slightly chilly weather and light rain in the afternoon, there were fewer people. Everything flowed smoothly except for the Raging River, and I was able to enjoy all the attractions, which made me very satisfied. The bodyboarding was especially fun; we rented the large wave pool for 30 minutes with 88 people and got to ride the waves to our heart's content. I was a beginner, but the instructor timed it perfectly to help me catch the waves, allowing me to enjoy it multiple times.

For the Island Racer and Raging River, it's better to ride early when it's less crowded since they switch every 30 minutes. Both are popular attractions. The most thrilling and scary ride was Shaka. This ride also stops every 30 minutes, so it's wise to ride it while it's less busy. I don't think there are many attractions with this level of thrill in Japan, so families with children will definitely enjoy it.

Lunch was a buffet with all-you-can-eat options including hot dogs, rice, fried chicken, spare ribs, beef steak, salad, and fruit. Although the selection was limited, the beef was very tender, juicy, and delicious. Of course, I was able to go back for seconds, which made me very happy. Drinks were available at a bar-like area in the center of the pool, where you could drink as much as you wanted. Many people came without lunch, but there was only one food court. They sold pizza, hot dogs, local foods, and desserts, but I think it’s more economical to sign up for the lunch package with unlimited drinks.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day. The bus transportation was in a large bus that took us right to the front entrance, and we arrived before opening. We were able to stay until after 3 PM, which was great, but time flew by because we were having so much fun, and I wanted to play even more. So next time, I plan to rent a car and spend a full day there.

I think riding the popular attractions "Raging River, Shaka, and Tornado" in the morning will make it easier to get around later. When we went, the Island Racer was popular, and since four people can start at the same time, the wait time was very short, allowing us to enjoy it three times in a row. After the rain, it got a bit chilly, so we were able to warm up in the jacuzzi. Going with a large family will definitely make for an exciting time!

4/29GWの日曜日に参加。混んでいるだろうと予測しておりましたが当日は少し肌寒く午後からは小雨も降ったせいか人が少なくレイジングリバー以外はスムーズに流れすべてのアトラクションを制覇する事が出来てとても満足でした。何と言ってもボディボードは大きな波のプール88人で30分貸し切って思いっきり波に乗る事が出来ました。私は初心者でしたがインストラクターの方がタイミングを見計らってうまく波に乗せてくれるので何度も何度も楽しむ事ができました。アイランドレーサー&レイジングリバーは30分交代なので空いている時は早目に乗る方がいいです。どちらも人気があるアトラクションです。1番スリル満点で怖かったのはシャカです。こちらも30分に1度運転停止になるので空いている間に乗るのが賢いです。まあ日本ではこんなにスリルがあるアトラクションはないと思うので家族ずれの子供なんかはとても喜ぶと思います。ランチは食べ放題のビュッフェ付きでホットドック、ご飯、唐揚げ、スペアリブ、牛肉のステーキ、サラダ、フルーツと品数は少なかったのですがこちらの牛肉がとても柔らかくてジューシーでとても美味しかったです。勿論何回もおかわりが出来て大満足でした。ドリンクは食事以外でもプール中央辺りにあるバーの様な所で好きなだけ飲めました。お昼ご飯を付けずに来ていた人が多かったのですがフードコートは1箇所。ピザやホットドック、ローカル食べ物からデザート迄販売されてましたがランチ付きドリンク飲み放題で申込をした方がお得だと思いました。全体的にとても満足な1日でした。バスでの送迎も大型バスで正面玄関迄送ってくれるし開店前には現地到着、帰りは15時過ぎ迄ととても満足の行く時間迄滞在出来ましたが楽しくて時間が経つのが早くもっともっと遊んでいたかったです。なので次回はレンタカーを借りて丸1日遊んでみたいと思います。とにかく人気アトラクション「レイジングリバー・シャカ・トルネード」は午前中に乗っておくと後が廻りやすくなると思います。私達が行った時は「アイランドレーサー」が人気でしたが1度に4人が同時にスタートが出来るので廻ってくる順番がとても早く私達も3回一気に楽しみました。雨が降った後少し肌寒くなったのでジャグジーで体を温める事も出来ました。家族大勢で行くと盛り上がる事間違いなしです。

I went to Dolphin University. It was cold! 行ってきました、イルカ大学。寒かった!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I visited the prestigious Dolphin University. It was truly amazing to swim right next to the dolphins, and I could even hear their calls, like "kyu."

However, be careful about the timing, as it can get quite cold. We went during Golden Week, but I didn't expect it to be this chilly. They do provide wetsuits for rent, but it costs an additional $10. Even with the wetsuit, it was still cold... The kids ended up going back to the boat because it was too cold for them.

However, the representatives and local staff were very friendly and attentive, so I highly recommend it!

名門イルカ大学に行ってきました。本当にイルカのそばで泳ぐことができ、しかも「キュー」なんているかの鳴き声まで聞こえちゃう、とても最高でした。

しかし、時期を考えないと結構寒いのでご注意を。私達はGWに行きましたが、まさかこんなに寒いとは。ウエットスーツを貸し出してくれますが、別料金で10$かかります。
ウェット着ても寒いですが・・・
子供達はあまりにもの寒さに途中で船に上がってしまいました。

しかし代表の方をはじめ、ローカルスタッフもとても気さく、かつ面倒見も良いのでオススメですよ!

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: Keiko

This was my second visit to Wet 'n' Wild, and it was still a lot of fun. Perhaps because it was a weekday, not all the slides were open, so I was disappointed that I couldn't ride everything I wanted.

If I could have stayed an extra 30 minutes, I would have enjoyed it even more... After factoring in time for lunch and changing, the actual time to play was surprisingly short.

2度目のウェット・アンド・ワイルドでしたが、やはり楽しかったです。平日だったせいか、すべてのスライダーがオープンしてなくて、乗りたいものに乗れなかったのが残念。

帰りの時間をあと30分でも遅くしてもらえるともっと楽しめたのに…お昼食べて着替えの時間を入れると正味遊べる時間が意外に少ない。

Since my child is small, the attractions we could enjoy were limited, and the place felt unnecessarily spacious. There were also many attractions that were closed, so I didn't have much fun. The weather was bad and cold; my child was happy, but I don't want to go back.

It was my second time, but it was my friend's first. Once we got on the welcome bus, it felt like we were in a different world. The lively conversation filled with jokes was so engaging that even with our basic English skills, we found ourselves laughing without fully understanding. Just like last time, there were no other Japanese people around, and it was an entirely different experience. Everything at Paradise Cove was truly wonderful, and the excitement continued on the return bus—an absolutely perfect tour.

私は、二度目でしたが、友人は初めて。お迎えのバスに乗ると、もう別世界 という感じ。ペラペラとジョークを交えてのトークは、英語入門程度の私たちも、つい訳も分からず、笑ってしまう不思議な空間。前回と同じく日本人は見当たらず、異空間 全開でした。パラダイスコーブのすべても たいへん素晴らしく、帰りのバス内もワクワクで 満点のツアーです。

I set out to find the dolphins, riding a ship south from the port on the West Coast. It took a while to spot them, but I finally discovered their dorsal fins bobbing up and down in the distance. Watching their movements and timing my drop into the water, I was determined not to give up until I saw the dolphins, even as the navigator urged us to hurry! When the signal came, I put my face in the water and looked around, but I couldn't see them... However, I could clearly hear their calls! They would definitely come! I shouted in my heart, "We're here!" and continued to chase the pod. When I looked into the water again at the navigator's signal... there they were!! Dozens of them swimming right below me! Overwhelmed with joy, tears filled my goggles. There was no time to cry; I had to swim with them! As I kicked and searched desperately, they came back right next to me! And there were even more dolphins than before!! My mind went blank, and I desperately reached out to get closer. The dolphins continued to swim beneath us, and even when we were on the ship, they stayed behind us. I wondered if our feelings had reached them... "A huge success!!!" I high-fived with the navigator! We then headed a bit north to the snorkeling point. There, deep in the ocean, the sea turtle principal quietly guarded everything in the sea. Colorful little fish swam around, and when I threw them some bread, they bravely approached to eat. I felt like I had forgotten everything that had happened and had become one with the ocean. After that, everyone enjoyed paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling as the lessons came to an end. On the way back to the port, we filled our stomachs with handmade cheeseburgers (they were really delicious!), relaxed to the crew's live ukulele performance, and danced to the Nanakuri Ondo, feeling the rhythm... Everything was so much fun, and I was extremely satisfied!!!! Swimming was honestly tough, but I decided in my heart that I would definitely go see the dolphins again. It was an activity that made me sweat and truly enjoy! I highly recommend it!!!

イルカ先生達を探して、西海岸の港からShipに乗ってしばらく南下。なかなか巡り会えずでしたが、遠くの方でチラリチラリと浮き沈みする、先生達の背びれを発見。イルカ先生たちの動きと、dropするタイミングを見ていざ海へ!ナビゲーターの『早く早く~!!』という声に若干焦りながらも、イルカ先生達を見るまでは絶対に諦めない!と必死に着いていきました。合図と共に顔を水につけ辺りを見回したけど、姿が見えない・・・。でも、イルカ先生達の鳴き声がはっきりと聞こえる!絶対に来てくれる!『私たちはココに居るよ!』と強く心で叫び、群れを追い続けること暫く。。再びナビゲーターの合図で海の中を覗くと・・いた!!何十頭も真下を泳いでるじゃないの!あまりの嬉しさに、ゴーグルの中で涙が溢れてきた。泣いてる場合じゃない、もっと一緒に泳がなきゃ!と一生懸命水を蹴り探していると、、、手が届きそうなくらいの真横に戻ってきた!!しかも、さっきよりもたくさんのイルカ先生たちが!!頭が真っ白になって、とにかく必死に近付こうと手を伸ばしてた。。その後もイルカ先生たちは私達の下を泳いだり、Shipにあがっている時も後ろに居てくれた。私達の想いが伝わったのかな・・・と。『大成功~っ!!!』とナビゲーターとハイタッチ!!! 少し北上してシュノーケリングポイントへ。そこには海底深くに海ガメ校長がひっそりと居て海の全てを守っているかのようだった。周りには小さな色鮮やかな魚たちが泳ぎ、パンをあげると、食べようと頑張って近付いてくる。。今までの出来事で全てを忘れ、海と一つになれたような気がした。その後も、パドボやカヤック、シュノーケリングと皆それぞれが楽しみ授業も終盤。港に戻るShipでは、手作りチーズバーガーでお腹を満たし(ほんとに美味しかった!)、クルーのウクレレ生演奏で心を癒し、ナナクリ音頭を踊ってノリノリ・・・。とにかく全てが楽しくて、とっっっっても満足!!!!泳ぐのは正直大変だったけど、またイルカ先生達に必ず会いに行こう、と心に決めたのでした。心から汗をかき、心から楽しめたアクティビティでした!オススメです!!!

Even though it's a deluxe plan, デラックスプランなのに

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I handed the voucher to the staff (who didn't speak Japanese) on the bus and received a wristband pass, but when I asked about lunch and the bodyboarding lesson times, I was told, "Your passport is different," and they refused to help. After calling a staff member who understood Japanese and showing my reservation slip, they apologized profusely, saying, "You've completely mismatched your passport," and gave me a different colored passport. The beef for lunch was delicious, but the selection was a bit limited. Also, it seemed that due to a lack of staff, the attractions were alternating between being open and closed, so despite the number of visitors, we had to wait quite a bit to ride anything (it might be different during peak season). The bodyboarding lesson had the wave pool almost to ourselves, and with the assistance of one staff member for timing and a push, I was thrilled to ride the waves beautifully. However, the waves were too high for toddlers, so it might be better not to choose the deluxe plan. On the way back, even though the park closed at 3:30 PM, we had to gather at 2:45 PM, which left us with little time to play, and I felt a bit regretful, wanting to enjoy more.

バスでスタッフ(日本語不可)にバウチャーを渡して腕輪型のパスをもらったが、現地で昼食やボディボードレッスンの時間を尋ねたら「あなたのパスポートは違う」と拒否された。日本語のわかるスタッフを呼び出してもらって予約控えを見せたら「完全にパスポートを付け間違っています、すみません」と平謝りで別の色のパスポートをもらいました。ランチのビーフは美味しかったけどちょっと品数少なめ、またアトラクションもスタッフが少ないためか順々に営業と休止を繰り返しているので入場者の割にどれも結構並ばないと乗れない状態でした(繁盛期は違うのでしょうが)。ボディボードレッスンは波プールが貸切り状態になり、スタッフ1名にタイミングと後押しでアシストしてもらうと綺麗に波に乗れて嬉しかったです。ただ幼児は波が高くてボディボードは無理なのでデラックスプランにしない方が良いかも。帰りは15:30閉園なのに14:45集合で遊ぶ時間が少なくてちょっと心残り、もっともっと遊びたい心境でした。

I thought a guide was necessary. ガイドが必要だと思いました

Reviewed by: ren

We participated as a family of three. The driver picked us up alone.

Since there was no guide, there was no explanation in the car.

We arrived at 10:00. Participants were lined up in a row in front of the gate. There was no explanation of what time the opening was, and we had to wait in the blazing sun until the opening at 10:30. (It was there that we learned it opened at 10:30.)

We headed to the lockers. There were no explanations or Japanese signage, so we had no idea about the system. By watching the people in line at the shop, we learned that you pay for the locker there to receive a key. By the time we figured it out, there was a long line. (Later, I saw Japanese people who arrived after us panicking, thinking there were no available lockers because they saw that the keys were not hanging.)

Perhaps due to a lack of staff, not all slides were operating at the same time. They were alternating with neighboring ones, but we had no idea how long the intervals were. Everywhere we went was closed, and the places that were open had long waits. The lazy river only started operating after 12:00...

There were cockroaches floating in the lazy river...

While I enjoyed the thrilling slides and the wonderful scenery, the lack of understanding of the system meant we could only use a small part of it, resulting in a lot of wasted time. Most of the staff did not speak Japanese. In the end, there were even slides that I never saw operating. It left me feeling that one visit might be enough.

家族3人で参加しました。運転手の方一人でピックアップ。

ガイドがいない為、車内でとくに何の説明もありませんでした。

10時に到着。ゲート前に参加者一列に並ばされました。オープンは何時との説明も無く、ただ炎天下で、オープンの10時半まで待たされました。(そこで10時半オープンと知る)

とりあえずロッカーへ向かう。説明も日本語表記も無いのでシステムが全く分からない。売店に並ぶ人を見て、そこでロッカー代金を支払うと鍵をもえらえる仕組みなんだと知る。知った時には長蛇の列。(後からくる日本人は鍵がぶら下がっていないロッカーを見て、空きがないと勘違いして焦る人も見かけた)

スタッフが少ないのか、スライダーが全て同時に稼働しない。隣り合うものと時間交替になっている。それも何時間で交替なのかも分からない。行くところ行くところクローズばかりで、稼働しているところは順番待ち。流れるプールも12時過ぎてから稼働… 

流れるプールにゴキブリが浮いていた…

日本には無いスリルのあるスライダーと素晴らしい景色でそれ自体は楽しめましたが、とにかくシステムが何も分からない事でごく一部しか利用できず、無駄な時間ばかりでした。日本語通じないスタッフがほとんど。結局、稼働したのを一度も見なかったスライダーさえありました。一度行けばいいかなという残念な感じでした。

It depends on the luck of the day, but this time we couldn't get close to the dolphins very much. However, the staff really wanted us to meet the dolphins since we had come all the way, and they tried several times, which resulted in us encountering the dolphins. On the way back to the shore, a baby dolphin came close and spun right in front of us, which got the kids very excited.

その日の運にもよりますが、今回はなかなかイルカに近づけませんでした。しかし、スタッフの方たちがせっかくきてもらっているからなんとしてもイルカにあってほしいと何度もトライしてくれた結果、イルカに遭遇できました。岸に帰る途中は、子供イルカが寄ってきて、目の前でスピンをするなど非常に子供たちは興奮していました。

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

It's the best! 最高♪♪♪

Reviewed by: marine

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).

I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!

Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!

This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!

家族5名(大人2・子供3)で参加しました。

小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました!!

船上でのダンス、美味しいチーズバーガー、フラダンスのレッスン・・・とにかく大満足のツアーです!!

我が家のHAWAII旅行1番の思い出になりました!!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Great Luau!

Reviewed by: Miss. Aussie

Fantastic food... and when you're booking a luau - that's I guess - what you REALLY look for. You're guaranteed to feel full and satisfied, probably the best food I've had at a luau.
The pre-entertainment is fun - something for everyone to try and watching them carry the pig out of the ground as the sun sets is pretty magical! What an amazing venue - the sunset is spectacular there and the staff are all fun (and gorgeous!!!!)

This was fun! The day flew by in no time. It was great that not only the kids but also the adults enjoyed it. The departure time was perfect, but I wished I could have enjoyed it until closing. I wonder if this attraction would never get approved in Japan because it's so close to the edge^^.

これは楽しい!一日の経過があっという間に感じられました。
子供たちはもちろん、大人まで楽しめたのはよかったです。出発時間は最適でしたが、閉演までずっと楽しみたかったです。
日本ではきっと認可が下りないくらいぎりぎりのアトラクションなのではないかなぁ^^

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

A Night to Remember

Reviewed by: Heather

Honestly, I hardly remember the actual luau. My boyfriend somehow managed to get me on stage and proposed to me in front of hundreds of people. The whole staff was in on it. I was called up as the winner of a raffle drawing! And when I thought they were bringing out my prize, out comes my boyfriend with a microphone! The whole crowd was very involved, from telling him to "Get on your knee!" to begging me to "Say yes!" They laughed, they awwed, they cheered. It was amazing. Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the show making phone calls telling everyone in my life the news. I will definitely be returned to the Paradise Cove Luau so that I can actually enjoy the full show!

I visited Hawaii for the first time and participated in what is considered a classic dolphin tour, and I was surprised by how much entertainment the tour offered. The staff were all very cheerful, fun, and kind. I was moved when they explained that the most important thing is to "have fun!!"

For someone like me, who usually works busy days in Tokyo, it felt like my rigid mindset was being loosened.

I was very excited to swim with the dolphins, and I really appreciated the bright and energetic responses from the staff. I would love to participate again.

スタッフの皆さんとても明るく楽しく親切でした。
一番大事なのは「楽し~!!」ってことだと説明されて、ホロッときました。
普段は東京で日々忙しく働く自分には、凝り固まった気持ちがほぐれるような感覚でした。

In Japan, there are long lines for attractions, but here in Hawaii, you can wait without much stress, as expected ( ´ ▽ ` ). I went during the peak season, but I chose a weekday.

First, I headed straight to the lockers. After that, I just enjoyed the "less crowded attractions" as much as possible. I chose a course without lunch included, but the hot dogs at the concession stand were delicious. Honestly, when you're hungry, anything tastes good.

I felt it was a waste of time to have lunch, so I picked a course without a buffet, and it was the right choice since my kids were more into playing than eating. However, if you miss the timing to line up at the concession stand, you might lose about 30 minutes… so it's best to buy early.

I want to go again!

日本では長蛇の列…状態のアトラクションもここならそんなにストレスなく待てるのは、さすがハワイ( ´ ▽ ` )
行った時期はオンシーズンだったけど、平日を選んだ。
まずはロッカーにまっしぐら。その後は、とにかく「空いてるアトラクション」から楽しみまくるのみ。
ランチのついてないコースを選んだけど、売店のホットドックは美味しかったよ。てゆーか、腹空いてりゃ何でも美味しいし。
ランチの時間がもったいないからバイキングのついてないコースを選んだけど、子供も「飯より遊び」て感じだったから正解だった。
ただ、売店に並ぶタイミングをミスると30分くらいはロスするかも…
早めに買うべし。
また行きたいな~

Even my wife, who is not good at swimming, had a great time smiling during the wild dolphin and sea turtle tour! 泳ぎが苦手な妻でも笑顔で体験♪野生のイルカ&海亀ツアー

Reviewed by: Masaki Sakai

Following the Haleakalā Mountain star and sunrise trek on Maui, I participated in an active tour at sea, a wild dolphin and sea turtle cruise with Dolphin University. Under a cloudy sky, we boarded the shuttle bus early in the morning. The tour group consisted of families spanning three generations, and one participant, Mr. I, mentioned he was joining for the third consecutive day.

As we headed to our destination, we received explanations from Ms. Y, who had a vibe reminiscent of Miwa from Dream Come True. By the time we arrived at the dock, the sky had cleared, and we enjoyed a light breakfast of warm malasada before boarding the boat, where everyone prayed for the safety of our voyage with the crew.

As we approached the secret spot of Dolphin University, the crew guided us to shallow waters, bringing along over 100 wild dolphins they had spotted. Securing our buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, we donned our snorkels and masks and jumped into the sea. I jumped in ahead of my wife, intending to reassure her, but I got distracted by the crew's calls to "look down!" and forgot about her as I peered into the water. The dolphins swam around us, brushing against our bodies through the wetsuits. Sharing the ocean with wild dolphins was an emotional experience. My wife was completely absorbed in the underwater world with our daughter.

Any fear vanished in the excitement of encountering the dolphins. We expressed our gratitude to the dolphins that played with us for a while before heading to the sea turtle spot. There, we were fortunate to encounter more than five sea turtles. Mr. I, who was skin diving, went down to the ocean floor, getting really close to the turtles. Additionally, we fed the fish underwater, and my wife was having so much fun that we worried she wouldn’t return to the boat. Afterward, everyone enjoyed various marine sports, and the crew's attentiveness ensured a safe experience for everyone, from children to seniors! After finishing our cheeseburger lunch on the boat, we began our journey back. We wrapped up with ukulele performances and commemorative photos before passing the baton to those starting their day slowly.

The tour with the prestigious Dolphin University was a great success, fitting for our 32nd wedding anniversary, as evidenced by the smiles of my wife and daughter! I definitely want my dolphin-loving younger daughter, who couldn’t join us due to work commitments, to experience the wild dolphins and sea turtle snorkeling cruise!

マウイ島でのハレアカラ山のスター&サンライズトレックに引き続き、海でのアクティブなツアーとしてイルカ大学の野生のイルカ、海亀クルーズに参加です。曇り空の中、早朝から迎えのバスに乗り込みます。ツアーの方々は若い方から3代に見受けられる家族連れまでで、一緒に乗り込んだI
さんはなんと3日連続参加とのことです。
ドリカムの美和さん調のYさんの説明を受けながら
目的地に向かいます。船着き場に着くころには晴天の空が広がり、温かなマサラダで軽い朝食を頂き、船に乗り込みクルーと一緒に全員で航海?の安全をお祈りします。
イルカ大学丸秘のスポットに近づくころにはクルーの目が探した100頭以上の野生のイルカを引き連れて浅瀬に誘導します。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットで浮力を確保し
スノーケル&水中眼鏡を装着し、足から海に飛び降ります。
妻の先に飛び降り、安心させる筈がクルーの下を見て!下を見て!という声に妻を忘れて海を覗き込みます。イルカの群れが泳ぎ回り、スエットスーツ越しに身体に当たってきます。野生のイルカと同じ海中を共有する体験は感動的です。妻は娘と一緒に海の中を我を忘れてのぞきこんでいます。
恐怖感はイルカとの遭遇の感動で消え去ったようです。
ツアーの方々の興奮する姿にも驚くことなく暫く一緒に遊んでくれたイルカに感謝しながら次は海亀スポットに向かいます。ここでも運良く5匹以上の海亀に遭遇することが出来ました。スキンダイビングのIさんは海の底まで潜り、海亀のホントの近寄っています。また、海中の魚達への餌やりもあり、いつまでたっても船に戻って来ずに心配するくらいに楽しんでいたのが妻です。その後は各自マリンスポーツを楽しみ、子供からシニアまで安心して体験出来るのはクルーの気配り・目配りがあるからですね!船上でのチーズバーガーランチを終え帰路に付きます。ウクレレの演奏や記念撮影を終えて、ゆっくりスタートの方々にバトンタッチです。
32年目の結婚記念日にふさわしい名門イルカ大学のツアーは大成功なのは妻と娘の笑顔が証明しています♪

This was my fifth dolphin tour in Hawaii, but it was my first time enrolling in Dolphin University. Swimming with the dolphin instructors is truly enjoyable! No matter how many times I experience it, I am always moved! Fortunately, my family has great chemistry with the dolphin instructors, and we can always swim with large pods. Dolphin University, as expected from a prestigious institution, offers outstanding service! Starting with morning malasadas, we had a lot of fun with dolphins, honu (sea turtles), marine sports like paddleboarding and kayaking, and hamburgers on the boat—this was the most fun I've ever had! I plan to re-enroll in the prestigious Dolphin University next time! Thank you for the wonderful time. P.S. I received the group photo via email!

ハワイでのイルカツアーは今回で5度目ですが、イルカ大学に入学するのは初めてでした。
でも、イルカ先生たちと泳ぐのはホントに楽しい♪
何度体験しても感動できます!
幸い、私達家族はイルカ先生と相性が良く、毎回必ず大きな群れと一緒に泳ぐことができます。
イルカ大学さんは、さすが名門だけあってサービス満点!
朝のマラサダから始まって、イルカ、ホヌ(ウミガメ)、マリンスポーツのパドルボート・カヤック、船上でのハンバーガーなど盛りだくさんで今までで一番楽しかったです♪
次回もまた名門イルカ大学に再入学するつもりです!
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I encountered many dolphins! たくさんのイルカに出会えました!

Reviewed by: megumi

I had a lot of anxiety on my first overseas trip, but with Yuriko-sensei, a Japanese teacher at Dolphin University, I was able to confidently enter the water and swim, even though it was my first experience.

As soon as we got on the boat, we spotted dolphins swimming! After learning about the prayer ceremony and the rules, we quickly entered the sea. It was a bit cold in mid-March, so I rented a wetsuit for $10. It felt more like swimming above where the dolphins were rather than swimming with them. But it was incredibly exciting! We also swam in another spot where there were lots of small fish close enough to touch with our hands, and we did activities like kayaking.

The hula dance we all did at the end was the best memory of my time in Hawaii. I highly recommend you go!

初めての海外旅行で不安もたくさんありましたが、イルカ大学は日本人のゆりこ先生がいるので、初めての経験でも安心して海に入って泳ぐことができました。
船に乗ってすぐにイルカが泳いでいるのを発見!お祈りの儀式やルールを教えて頂いたら早々に海に入りました。3月中旬で若干寒かったので、10ドルでウェットスーツ(つなぎ)を借りました。イルカと泳ぐというよりは、イルカが泳いでいるところの上を泳いでいるという感じでした。でもかなり興奮します!別の場所(小さな魚が手で触れるほど近いとろこにたくさんいる所)で泳いだり、カヤックなどをしたりしました。最後に参加者のみんなで踊ったフラダンスはハワイでの最高の思い出です。是非行ってみてください!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

MUST DO!!!

Reviewed by: Emily Garcia

I saved this luau for my last night in Hawaii and I booked the deluxe package and highly recommend it to anyone who can afford to spend the $150. It was definitely an awesome deal!
Tusi was our party guide. Awesome gorgeous guy that cracked jokes all night long.
Arriving at Paradise Cove we were immediately greeted with drinks (if you're 21+) and leis. If you are 21+ you'll need to bring your ID. Included in the deluxe package is a complimentary photo with some of the luau dancers (otherwise you pay $15). All the dancers are very attractive so you'll want this ;)
We arrived around 5pm and the actual dinner doesn't start until 7pm. You can snack before hand, but the dinner is SO good and filling that you might not have room for the whole meal if you eat before hand.
From 5-7pm they have all types of complimentary activities including temporary hawaiian tattoos, flower bracelet/headband crafts, canoe rides, shower of flower event, hula lessons, etc...
Make sure you bring money to

If the weather is good... 天候さえよければ・・・

Reviewed by: いるかママ

I joined the tour hoping to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable. The waves were high, and it rained occasionally, making it quite cold.

Fortunately, when we reached the dolphin point, we spotted a pod of wild dolphins, and cheers erupted on the boat. As we entered the water and approached the dolphins, they swiftly swam past us. The dolphins were so fast, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was exhilarating! After confirming that everyone had seen the dolphins, we got back on the boat, and once again, we chased after them. The captain offered, "Shall we go in again?" but due to the cold, no one was eager to raise their hands.

After enjoying delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain, we went snorkeling. We spotted whales in the distance a few times during our journey, but unfortunately, I could only see their spouts.

Because of the high waves, we snorkeled at a point inside the breakwater near the port, but the water was cold and murky due to the rain, so we couldn't enjoy it fully. However, we did manage to see several types of fish, sea urchins, and a large school of slender fish that looked like saury.

After getting off the boat, we had a hula dance lesson at a park near the port. While staff member Yuka asked on the bus, "Shall we cancel because of the rain?" miraculously, the sky suddenly cleared. We wrapped pareos around our waists, adorned our heads and wrists with leis, and had a fun lesson under the guidance of the hula teacher. The music was played by a ukulele player who resembled Hiro from Yasuda Circus. There was also an explanation of hula tools, allowing us to experience Hawaiian culture.

The staff on today's tour were fantastic. Yuka, our caretaker, was charming and kind, with great attention to detail. Captain John was very generous, putting three lucky cheeseburgers on our plates. The two local boys were also a lot of fun. DJ Kekoa resembled Taka from Taka and Toshi, full of mischief, and was skilled at playing the ukulele and singing. The tall and young Patrick was an excellent dancer.

I would love to go back and meet them and the dolphins again on a sunny day.

For those participating, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカと泳げることを期待して参加したツアーですが、天候に恵まれず、波は高く、雨が時々降って寒かったです。

幸い、イルカポイントに達すると野生のイルカの群れを発見、船内に歓声があがりました。
海に入ってイルカの群れに近づくと、海中をイルカの群れがサーッと横切って行きました。
イルカのスピードが速くて、ほんの一瞬のことでしたが、感激!
全員がイルカを見られたことを確認して船に上がり、再び、船はイルカを追いかけました。
船長の「もう一度入る?」というオファーがありましたが、寒さのため、誰も積極的に手を上げません。

船長が作ったおいしいチーズバーガーをいただいた後はシュノーケリング。
寄港途中に何度かクジラが遠くに見えたようですが、残念ながら、私は潮吹きしか確認できませんでした。

波が高かったので、港近くの防波堤の内側のポイントでシュノーケルしましたが、水が冷たかったし、雨の影響で水が濁っていて十分に楽しめませんでした。
でも、何種類かの魚やウニ、サヨリみたいな細い魚の大群は確認できました。

船から降りた後、港そばの公園でフラダンス講習。
「雨なのでやめますか?」とバスの中でスタッフのゆかさんが問いかけている間に、不思議なことに突如青空に。
パレオを腰に巻き、頭と手首にレイをつけ、フラの先生の指導で楽しいレッスンです。
演奏は安田サーカスのヒロ君似のウクレレ。
フラの道具の説明もあり、ハワイアン・カルチャーにふれることができました。

今日のツアー、スタッフがとってもよかったです。
お世話係のゆかさんはとってもチャーミングでやさしく、気配り十分。
船長ジョンさんはチーズバーガーに当たりを3つ入れてくれるなどサービス精神たっぷり。
二人のロコボーイも楽しいです。
DJケコアはタカアンドトシのタカ似で、茶目っ気たっぷりでウクレレや歌も上手。
長身で若いパトリックはダンスがとっても上手。

天気のいい時にまた再び彼らとイルカに会いに行きたいです。

参加されるみなさん、酔い止め薬の服用をお勧めします。
