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: kinjyo

We participated as a family of two adults and two children. We were very happy and completely satisfied to see the kids so excited and having a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the return meeting time was early when transportation was included. With lunch included, the time flew by.

大人2人、子供2人の家族で参加しました。
子供達がかなり大興奮でとても楽しんでいる姿に、私達も嬉しくて大満足でした。
ただ、送迎付きの場合、帰りの集合時間が早いことがちょっと残念でした。
昼食もとると、あっという間の時間でした。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

Paradise Cove Luau Show パラダイスコーブ ルアウショー

Reviewed by: ハワイ6回目さん

This was my second time participating, and I felt it had been upgraded compared to two years ago. First, the guide on the shuttle bus made us laugh (in English). Upon arrival, we took photos with the dancers (you can purchase them later for $15 if you like). There were about two hours before the show started, filled with a variety of activities such as canoeing, tattoos, hula dance lessons, and lei making, so there was no chance of getting bored. This time, we had table service for dinner (the fried chicken is exquisite, and the pork is, of course, delicious too). Six people sit at one table, and the others were Americans. It might be tough if you're not sociable and can't speak English. If you're in a group of four or more, you probably won't feel out of place (but if it's just two of you, you'll be sitting next to each other with strangers across the table).

I believe there were about 600 guests, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there.

I think you can enjoy it even if you can't speak English. Don't forget to tip the guide when you get off the bus, about $5 per person.

I was actually considering the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, and luckily got to see it from the sidelines the day before, but I think Paradise Cove offers better cost performance. I'm glad I participated.

今回は2回目の参加だったのですが、2年前に比べてバージョンアップした気がしました。まず、送迎バスの中でガイドさんは笑わせてくれます(英語)。着いてからまずダンサーとの写真(後で気に入れば購入、15ドル)。カヌーやタトゥー、フラダンスレッスン、レイ作りなど、ショーが始まるまで2時間ぐらいあったのですが多彩なイベントが用意されており、退屈はしません。今回はテーブルサービスでディナーを頂きました(フライドチキンは絶品です。ポークももちろんおいしいですが)。6人が一つのテーブルになるのですが、周りはアメリカ人でした。社交的かつ英語が話せないと辛いかもしれません。4人以上のグループであれば浮くことはないでしょう(二人だと隣同士になり向かいが見知らぬゲストになるので)。

確か600人ぐらいのゲストだったと思うのですが、日本人は私達だけのようでした。

英語ができなくても楽しめると思います。バスを降りる時ににガイドさんにチップをお忘れなく。一人当たり5ドルぐらいでしょうか。

実は迷っていたロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーも前日に袖からラッキーにも見ることができたのですが、パラダイスコーブの方がコストパフォーマンスはいいと思いました。参加してよかったです。

I'm satisfied with the Big Splash Package! ビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージで満足!

Reviewed by: HIDE

This was my second time participating. I highly recommend the Big Splash Package! This time, we took advantage of the summer vacation family special rate (with transportation included), which was quite a deal.
*For 2 adults and 1 child, it was $136 (normally $184, with the Splash rate at $134, so for just $2 more, we got meals and a bodyboarding experience).

As a dad planning a family of surfers, the ability to safely bodyboard was a deciding factor for me.

The meals were all-you-can-eat, and the beef and chicken were delicious.

The bodyboarding experience was as fun as I expected.

My little one was riding just like this.

Local bodyboarders were also riding standing up!

The kids' pool has plenty of slides, so I don't think they'll get bored.

The time was a bit short, but it surprisingly used up a lot of energy, so it was just right.

I also received one more experience ticket, so I tried the FlowRider.

It was quite fun!

今回は、2回目の参加。
ビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージがおすすめ!今回は夏休み・ファミリースペシャル料金(送迎付き)の利用でかなりお得でした。
※大人2人 こども1人 136ドル(通常184ドル、スプラッシュ134ドルと2ドルに差で食事とボディーボード体験付き)


家族総サーファー計画を目論むパパとしては、安全にボディーボードができるので決め手になりました。


食事は食べ放題でビーフとチキンうまかった。


ボディーボード体験は予想どおり楽しかった。

チビもままこのとおりのライディング。

地元のボディーボーダーはスタンディング(立って!)乗ってる人も。

こども向けのプールは滑り台が充実。飽きないと思いますよ。

時間は短めですが、意外と体力を使うのでちょうどいいかな。

あと1枚体験チケットをもらえたのでダ・フローライダー
をやってみました。

かなり面白かったです。

Definitely for Hawaii repeat visitors! ハワイリピーターはぜひ!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since this was my sixth time in Oahu, I was looking for places I hadn't been to yet, and I signed up for this popular tour.

My impression is that the facility wasn't as large as I expected, and although we had about four hours, it was sufficient. I think it's good for those who have been to Hawaii multiple times, but it might feel like a waste of time for first-time visitors. Toshimaen is larger in scale (laughs).

The most interesting part was the Shaka, which is like a halfpipe. Be careful not to hurt your neck! The Cliffhanger wasn't as scary as I thought, so I went down about ten times.

What I liked here, unlike in Japan, is that it wasn't crowded. The pool itself was average and not very exciting, so I just kept going down the slides, and I got tired climbing back up, resulting in muscle soreness. Therefore, I recommend going on the last day.

オアフは6回目でほとんど行きつくしたので、行ったことがないところを探していたところ、人気のツアーだったので申し込みました。
感想は、思ったほど大きい施設ではなく、4時間くらい時間がありましたが、充分でした。
何度もハワイに行ったことがある人にはいいと思いますが、初ハワイの人にとっては時間がもったいないかも。豊島園のほうが規模が大きいです(笑)
一番面白かったのは、シャカというハーフパイプみたいなやつです。首を痛めないように要注意!
あとクリフハンガーは思ったほど怖くなかったので、10回くらい滑りました。
ここは日本と違って空いているのがいいですね。プール自体は普通で面白くないので、ひたすら滑り台をやり続け、登るのに疲れて筋肉痛になりました。なので最終日に行くのがおすすめです。

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

Fun Time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My husband and I had previously snorkled which was a good thing as they had no time to teach you how to snorkle, therefore not for beginners. We did see spinner dolphins and swam with them for a few seconds. The dolphins did not stay put, so we were unable to hang out with them for very long. The remainder of the trip was great. We had the opportunity to have 3 drops in 3 different locations. One with the dolphins, then the remaining two with fish and sea turtles. Good times, good food, great photos! Bring a water camera! Would do this again.

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, making for a very satisfying tour. The sky, the sea, and the greenery were all beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. During snorkeling, I got a bit seasick and felt a little unwell, but it was an emotional experience throughout. The breakfast was also very delicious, and if I hadn't been feeling sick, I could have eaten as much as I wanted.

I was nervous about using this service, but things worked out great. We purchased the Deluxe Package which included 6 free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, front row seating and tableside meal service. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei (women) and kukui nut lei (men), a mai tai drink and photos with dancers. It was everything they promised. It was on a pristine, beautiful private beach with numerous hands on activities. It was absolutely wonderful!

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

Saw dolphins, turtles, and more!!!

Reviewed by: Ryan

Staff was very pleasant and eager to please the customer. The included snacks for breakfast and lunch of choice just topped the trip off perfect. Saw a school of about 18 spinner dolphins jumping out of the water within a couple feet of boat and while in the water had them swim directly below me (about ten feet from myself). Snorkeled in 3 separate spots after the snorkel with the dolphins. More bang for your buck than other tours ... well worth it!!!

Rob and Mark went the extra mile to ensure that we got the experience of a lifetime. They were knowledgeable about the area and suggested other activities that we enjoyed. We would do this activity again and again and highly recommend others to do the same. We saw dolphins in their natural environment, turtles, and at least a million fish up close and personal.

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

I can't believe I can see dolphins up close like this! こんなにイルカを近くで見れるなんて!

Reviewed by: エヴァ

On September 22, I participated in an early morning cruise with friends.

About 30 minutes after boarding the ship, we spotted a pod of dolphins! At first, they swam a little distance away, but gradually they came closer to the boat, and to our surprise, one dolphin swam alongside the bow of the ship! We were thrilled to see the lively dolphins up close from right above the bow. We were able to watch them for quite a while. We even managed to capture on video a dolphin jumping while spinning, which made us very satisfied. Ah, dolphins are such beautiful creatures! They are so healing!

Just as we were basking in that excitement, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles underwater, but I was surrounded by tropical fish, which was also very soothing. Swimming in the clear ocean felt amazing. After snorkeling, it was time for the much-anticipated lunch. The kalua pig was delicious! I couldn't help but go back for seconds.

The ship was spacious and clean, equipped with restrooms, and thankfully, there were hot water showers available. (It felt really nice after snorkeling since my body was cold.) The guide, who spoke Japanese almost perfectly, provided very thorough explanations, which was great. If I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate once more. Next time, I’ll go for the deluxe option!

9月22日、早起きクルーズに友達と参加しました。

船に乗ってから30分くらいたったでしょうか、いました!イルカの群れ!
最初は少し離れたところを泳いでいましたが、だんだんと船に近づいてきて、
なんと船首の先をイルカが船に寄り添うように泳いでくれました!
私達は船首の真上から、その生き生きとしたイルカの姿を間近で見れて大感激でした。
結構長いこと見れました。
無事、スピンしながらジャンプするイルカもビデオにおさめることができて大満足。
あ~イルカってなんて美しい動物なんでしょう!癒されます!

そんな感動もつかの間、今度は場所を移してシュノーケルです。
私は残念ながら水中で海がめを見ることはできませんでしたが、熱帯魚の群れに囲まれてまた癒されました。
透明度の高い海の中を泳ぐのはとっても気持ちが良かったです。
シュノーケルの後は、お待ちかねのランチです。カルアピッグ、おいしかったです!
思わずおかわりをしてしまいました。

船内は広くて清潔で、トイレ完備、ありがたいことに温水シャワーも出ます。
(シュノーケル後は体が冷えているのでとても気持ちよかったです。)
日本語をほぼ完璧に話すガイドさんの丁寧な説明もとても良かったです。
ハワイに来たら、またぜひ参加したいと思います。今度はデラックスで!

Dolphins, turtles, fish, and coral. イルカに亀にお魚に珊瑚

Reviewed by: ERI

At first, I was worried about getting seasick or whether I could really see wild dolphins so easily. However, the boat was very comfortable, and no one got seasick. Luckily, we saw a lot of dolphins, including two different species, and I was completely satisfied.

We first spotted a mother dolphin swimming happily with her baby. They were so adorable. Next, we encountered a group of dolphins (about 6 to 7). They were all very active, jumping around, and it felt like we were watching a dolphin show.

After that, we went to a snorkeling spot where we saw three turtles, colorful fish, and coral. It felt more like diving than snorkeling. The turtles were quite large and impressive.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm coffee, bread, pork, vegetables, and yogurt. It was very delicious after swimming. During our trip, we had a Japanese guide, which made us feel at ease. The weather was cloudy, so it was quite cold after snorkeling. I thought long sleeves would be necessary. In any case, it became a wonderful memory, and I would definitely like to participate again!

最初は、船に酔わないかな?とか、野生のイルカなんてそんなに簡単に見れるのかな?なんて不安もあったのですが、まず船はとっても乗り心地が良く、誰も酔ってる人なんていなかったし、ラッキーにも、イルカはたくさん(しかも2種類も)見れて、もう大満足でした。

イルカは、まずお母さんと赤ちゃんが一緒に仲良く泳いでいるのを発見。とても可愛いらしかったです。次にグループ(6~7頭)のイルカ達に会えました。みんなとっても活発に泳いでいて、ジャンプもしてくれて、まるでイルカショーを見ている感じでした。

その後、シュノーケルスポットに行って、亀は3匹、色とりどりのお魚達に、珊瑚も見れて、シュノーケルと言うよりもダイビングをしたような気分に浸れました。亀もかなり大きい亀達で迫力満点でした。

シュノーケルが終わってから、暖かいコーヒーとパンと豚肉と野菜とヨーグルトを頂きました。一泳ぎの後で、とても美味しかったです。私達の時は、日本人のガイドさんがいたので、安心しました。お天気は曇りだったので、やはりシュノーケル後はかなり寒かったです。長袖は必要かなと思いました。ともかく素晴らしい思い出になりました。また是非参加したいです!

Enjoying the ocean in Hawaii. ハワイの海を堪能

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on September 16. The weather was clear, and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for cruising. Although I was worried about seasickness, sitting at the front of the boat on the net, feeling the wind and waves, made those worries disappear.

When the captain guided us to a pod of spinner dolphins, I was even more excited! The staff explained that the name "spinner" comes from their jumping spins. Although I couldn't capture the dolphins jumping repeatedly on camera, their images are etched in my memory. During snorkeling at a different location, I was able to see tropical fish and sea turtles. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were very considerate and made the experience even more enjoyable.

If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the waiting time for the bus transfer and cruising was a bit long, which felt somewhat inefficient.

9月16日に参加しました。当日は快晴、波もおだやかで、絶好のクルージング日和でした。船酔いを心配していたものの、船の先頭のネットの上に座り込み、風と波を受けながら進めば、そんな心配も吹き飛びました。
船長の案内で、ハシナガイルカの群れを見つけたときは、更に大興奮!英語でスピナーと呼ばれる由来が、スピンしながらのジャンプだとスタッフが教えてくれました。私達に見せてくれるかのように、何度も何度もジャンプしてくれるイルカの姿はカメラに収めることは出来ませんでしたが、目に焼きついています。場所を移してのシュノーケリングでは、熱帯魚と海がめを見ることができました。日本語堪能なスタッフが色々気遣ってくれ、また、盛り上げてくれ、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
一つだけ難点を挙げるとすれば、バスでの送迎とクルージングとの待ち時間が長く、少し非効率だと思いました。

I was filled with excitement!

As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.

The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!

I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!

I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!

I met wild dolphins!! 野生のイルカに会って来ました!!

Reviewed by: くまきち

On September 11th, my husband and I participated in this activity. I thought the ocean in Hawaii was beautiful, but I didn't realize just how stunning it could be. Despite going by cruiser, the clarity of the water was amazing; you could see the bottom! Unlike the seas in Japan, there were no seaweed or kelp floating around, and there was no distinct ocean smell.

There were beautiful fish (tropical fish!) and we even got to see sea turtles. We were told that we might not see dolphins, but we encountered two groups of them, and we were able to watch them jump and spin like in a show. Dolphins are so cute! I was truly thrilled!

I really felt that coming to Hawaii was the right choice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was taught carefully, and since I could borrow a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it even though I'm not a strong swimmer. It was also reassuring to have Japanese staff join us in the water.

9/11に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
キレイだと思っていたハワイの海が、こんなにもキレイだとは思っていませんでした。クルーザーで行くところにもかかわらず、海の底が見える透明感がスゴイ!!日本の海みたいに、ワカメやこんぶが浮いていないし、海独特の匂いもしないんです。

I absolutely recommend this. My daughter and I participated together. We arrived at Kona Marina in 45 minutes from Waikiki, and it felt luxurious, like we were the owners of the yacht harbor we see on TV. We boarded the boat with a handsome young man, a dandy captain, and a cute Hawaiian girl guiding us. Coffee, tea, water, and canned drinks were all-you-can-drink. The tour guide mentioned that encountering dolphins was not guaranteed, so I thought it would be okay if we didn't see any. However, within 10 minutes, we heard "dolphins" and rushed to the bow, where a pod of dolphins was swimming, including a mother and baby dolphin swimming closely together. The boat kept a respectful distance as we watched, and while learning that dolphins are nocturnal and swim while sleeping during the day, they jumped and spun in the air. I only had my camera, so I missed the shutter chance since they didn't announce when they would jump, but bringing a video camera would be a good idea.

Next, we challenged ourselves to snorkel. After receiving instructions, we headed into the sea, but I struggled with breathing and ended up sputtering. I finally got the hang of it and looked into the water at a depth of 6 meters, where the Hawaiian girl guided us to a spot where sea turtles were likely to be. We saw five sea turtles swimming! Then, we heard from the boat, "Dolphins are here," and when we looked into the water, there was a dolphin swimming right next to us. We could hear the dolphin's "pee" sound. My daughter and I popped our heads up to signal that we saw it. She asked the Hawaiian girl if she could try diving, so she took off her snorkel and fins, exhaled, and tried free diving. After a few attempts, she struggled to go deeper and felt pain in her ears, so she gave up. The Hawaiian girl demonstrated free diving quite deeply.

For some reason, that day, there were only three of us snorkeling: my daughter, myself, and another girl from Seattle, so we could enjoy it leisurely. Others on the boat were watching us. After that, we had breakfast on the boat, which included chicken, bread, salad, fruit, yogurt, and muffins, and it was all very delicious. I decided that I definitely want to snorkel again next time. Thank you so much, Alan1. I had a truly meaningful time.

絶対絶対オススメです。娘と二人で参加しました。
ワイキキから45分でコナマリーナに到着、テレビで見るようなヨットハーバーまるで自分たちがオーナーであるかのようなリッチな気分で船に乗り込み、イケメン風のお兄さんとダンディなボーン船長とキュートでかわいいハワイ娘の3人が案内してくれます。コーヒー・紅茶・水に缶ジュースは飲み放題です。ツアーの案内にイルカとの遭遇は確約ではありませんと書いてあったので、会えなくても仕方ないかぁと思っていたら、10分もしないうちに「イルカ」という声で船首に出てみるとイルカの群れが泳いでいました、親子イルカまでいます、親子仲良く離れずに泳いでいます、船はつかず離れずで進んでいきます、イルカは夜行性で昼間は寝ながら泳いでいると説明を聞きながら見ていると、空中に飛び3回転スピン・2回転スピンをしてくれました、カメラしかもっていなかったので、今から飛ぶぞと言ってくれない為、シャターチャンスは見逃しましたが、ビデオを持っていくといいですよ。さあいよいよシュノーケルに挑戦、説明を受けいざ海へ、息の吸う吐くがうまくいかず、げぼげぼ、こつをつかみ水深6mの海の中をのぞいてみる、海がめのいそうなスポットへハワイ娘が案内してくれます、海がめが泳いでいる、しかも5頭もいるではないですか、そして船から「イルカがきたよ」との合図に海の中をのぞく、すぐ横にイルカが泳いでいる、「ピー」というイルカの声が聞こえる、娘と二人顔を出して、見たの合図、娘はもぐってみたいとハワイ娘におねだり、シュノーケルをはずし、足ひれをはずし空気をぬいて、素もぐり、うまく沈まない、2.3回トライ少し深くもぐって耳が痛いと断念、ハワイ娘は、素もぐりでかなり深く沈んで手本を見せてくれていました。なぜかこの日はシュノーケルをする人が私と娘ともう1人シアトルから来た娘さんと3人だったので、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。他の人たちは船から、私達をウォチングしていました。その後は船のなか、チキン.パン.サラダ.フルーツ.ヨーグルト.マフインの朝食、とってもおいしかったです。次回も絶対シュノーケルをしたいと心に決めた日でした。Alan1ちゃん本当にありがとうございました。とっても有意義に過ごすことができました。

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.

When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.

Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!

 「ドルフィン&ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。

 最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇!
 自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます!しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。

 それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。
 「ドルフィン&ユー」さん、ありがとうございました!

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

It's a place with a very nice atmosphere. There are fewer Japanese people here. I was wondering what to do since there seemed to be quite a bit of time before the show, but before I knew it, time flew by as I took a walk, took photos, had some drinks, and got a lei made. I received drink tickets, but I couldn't use them all. The cocktails are generously poured, which is great for those who enjoy a drink. It seems that non-alcoholic drinks were free. During the show, you can eat, dance, chat, and take photos freely, so I think it's fun for families. Of course, couples will be even happier. Women might want to dress up a bit. You'll receive the photos taken, so it makes for great memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand the jokes made by the guide in English on the shuttle bus. However, you can still enjoy yourself even if you don't speak English at all. The staff can speak a little Japanese, so there’s no trouble communicating. They are very considerate. On this day, I was able to take wonderful sunset photos. Silhouettes of people against the backdrop of a red sky and palm trees. It's a show that makes you think Hawaii is wonderful.

雰囲気がとてもいいところです。日本人は少なめです。ショーまでかなり時間があるようなのでどうするのかなぁと思っていたら、散歩したり、写真撮ったり、お酒飲んだり、レイ作ってもらったりとしてたらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。飲み物のチケットを貰うのですがとても使い切れません。カクテルのアルコール量はおおざっぱに多めに入れてくれますので酔っぱらいには嬉しいです。ノンアルコールはただだったみたいだし。ショーの最中は食べたり、踊ってたり、喋ったり、写真撮ったり自由にできますので家族で行くと楽しいと思います。勿論カップルで行くとさらに幸せです。女性は少しおしゃれしていくといいでしょう。撮った写真を貰いますのでいい思い出になります。送迎のバスの中は英語なのでガイドがジョークを言ってもよく理解できなかったのが残念でした。でも英語ができないと楽しめないということは全くありません。スタッフは片言日本語ができますので意志の疎通に困ることはありません。よく気使ってくれます。この日素晴らしい日没の写真がとれました。赤く染まった空に椰子の木のシルエットを背景に写る人影。ハワイって素敵だなと思えるショーです。

wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Amy Zuidema

I highly recommend the dolphin swim. If you are in Hawaii this is a must do.
I will never forget it. The crew were great, they enjoyed their jobs and
made sure that we enjoyed our trip. It was such a wonderful experience to
see AND swim with the dolphins, fish and turtles. I would do it again in a
heartbeat!

This is interesting!! これは面白いです!!

Reviewed by: びすかいち

You might think of Hawaii as a place by the sea, but I highly recommend this (it might even be the BEST of this trip...). All the attractions are extraordinary and incredibly dynamic, far beyond what you can imagine in Japan. In the wave pool, the waves can reach 2 meters, which could pose a drowning risk even for adults... I wonder if such regulations would be too strict in Japan? Basically, overseas, the mindset seems to be that if someone drowns, it's their own fault; it's all about personal responsibility. If you go with the image of a Japanese theme park, you'll be pleasantly surprised in a good way (laughs). You can easily spend a whole day here, but it's definitely worth the fun. Also, as someone else mentioned, when riding the Shaka attraction, be sure to lift your butt off the seat. Your swimsuit will definitely tear, and you might end up with some skin irritation. Be careful!

海のあるハワイでとは思われますでしょうが、これはお勧めです(ひょっとして、今回の旅行でBEST1かも・・・)すべてのアトラクションが桁外れで日本では考えられない程ダイナミックです。波のあるプールでは2m級の波で大人の人でも溺れる可能性があるのでは・・・。日本では規制がうるさいので無理なのかな?基本的に海外では溺れる者が悪い、すべては自己管理してくださいねという考え何でしょうね。日本のテーマパークのイメージで出掛けると、いい意味で期待を裏切られますよ(笑)1日使っちゃいますが、使うだけの楽しさはありますよ。それと、別の方も書き込みしていらっしゃいましたがシャカという乗り物を乗るときは必ずお尻を浮かせてください。確実に水着が破れ、お尻の皮がめくれます。要注意を!!

If you don't lift your hips while sliding, you might end up with a hole in your pants. Also, it's better to wear a rash guard. It's a place I want to visit again.

腰を浮かせながら滑らないと、パンツに穴が開いちゃうかも。あとラッシュガードは着ていったほうがいいな。また行ってみたいところです。

Adventure Park is fun!! アドベンチャーパーク楽しいよ!!

Reviewed by: HIROKO

I visited an adventure park for the first time. It's enjoyable for both adults and children, and my boys, aged 5 and 8, were able to enjoy most of the attractions. They said it was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii, even more than the pool.

I particularly recommend Hurricane Bay, where you can take bodyboard lessons. You can enjoy riding the waves, both big and small. For beginners, the staff (who were really cool) help you catch the waves. During the lessons, no one else is allowed in the pool, so we felt a sense of exclusivity while others waited by the poolside.

I definitely recommend participating in the Big Splash Package. My husband and kids got so caught up in the fun that they scraped their feet. If you have aqua shoes, it's a good idea to bring them along.

I was very satisfied with the tour and especially with Alan. I left something on the bus on the way back, and the staff was very kind in handling it. All the staff on-site and on the phone were Japanese, which was very reassuring. I definitely want to use Alan's services again next time. Thank you very much!

初めてアドベンチャーパークに行って来ました。
大人も子供もファミリ−で楽しめます。うちは5歳・8歳の男の子ですがほとんどのアトラクションを楽しめました。
ハワイに来てプール・・・と思いましたが今回の旅で一番楽しかった・・と子供達が言ってました。
特におすすめなのがハリケーン・ベイ。ここでボディ・ボード・レッスンを受けます。大・小の波がきて波乗りが楽しめます。初めての人も係りのお兄さん(かっこよかった~)が波にのせてくれます。レスッスンの間は私達以外の人はプールに入れません。一般の人はプールサイドで待ってます。とても優越感に浸りました。
(そうそう入場も団体入場口から1番早く中に入れましたよ)

ぜひビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージでの参加をお勧めします。それから遊びに夢中になって主人と子供が足を擦りむいていました。アクアシューズをお持ちでしたら持参されるといいですよ。
今回、ツアーはもちろんですがアランさんに大満足です。
帰りのバスに忘れ物をしたんですがその時の対応もすごく親切でした。現地でのスタッフや電話の対応もすべて日本人でとても心強かったです。次も絶対アランさんを利用したいと思いました。本当にありがとうございました。
