Easy transportation from the hotel with a shuttle service.
In December, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy all the slides without much waiting.
The steep slides, large slides, and many other slides left the children very satisfied.
送迎付きでホテルから楽に移動。
12月は空いていて、スライダーほとんど並ばず全て制覇できました。
急な傾斜のスライダー、大型スライダー、多くのスライダー子どもたち大満足でした。

I couldn't see any dolphins, but I had a great time swimming in the beautiful sea and playing on the board! I had heard it was the wrong season to see whales, but I was happy to see two of them.
I experienced severe seasickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication before going! Also, everyone was renting wetsuits, so I think it's a good idea to rent one as well.
I'm glad I made some wonderful memories!
イルカには会えなかったけど、綺麗な海で泳いだりボードに乗って遊んだり楽しかったです!
クジラは見れない時期と聞いていたのに、2匹も見ることができて嬉しかったです。
船酔いが凄かったので、酔い止めを飲んで行くのをお勧めします!
あと、ウェットスーツも皆さん借りられていたので借りた方がいいと思います。
いい思い出ができて良かったです!

I had high expectations for the main event of my trip to Hawaii, but I didn't see any dolphins at all. I understand that it's a wild animal, so it's not surprising. Even when they said, "It's a whale!" it was too far away, and even with my contact lenses, I couldn't see it well. They worked hard to find dolphins, and since we waited on the boat for a long time, I ended up feeling seasick, even though I usually don't take motion sickness medication. I hoped to do a lot of snorkeling since I couldn't see any dolphins, but it ended rather quickly. I think it was a stroke of luck that I got to see a sea turtle! They took a lot of photos, but honestly, if you don't buy a USB, you won't see anything, so I recommend purchasing it on the bus if you want to keep those memories. For lunch, I think "light snack" is a better description than "lunch." Later, I received an email saying, "Here are today's photos," but there were no attachments... I didn't even know who to contact about it. I think I might have had too high expectations. I received a discount voucher for the next time since I didn't see any dolphins, but to be honest, I'm not sure if I would want to participate again.
ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、くらいに思って期待しておりましたが、全くイルカに逢えませんでした。
野生の生き物なので仕方のないこととは思います。
鯨だよ!と言われてもかなり遠くてコンタクト着用していてもよく分からなかったです。
一生懸命イルカを探してくれて、長いこと船上で待機していたので普段は酔い止めを飲まない私でも船酔いしてしまいました。
イルカが見れなかった分、たくさんシュノーケリングができればと思いましたが、案外あっさり終わってしまいました。
ウミガメが見られたのは不幸中の幸いかなと思います!
写真を沢山撮ってもらいましたが、正直USBを買わない人は何も見られないので、思い出として欲しい方はバスの中で購入を希望しておいた方がいいと思います。
お昼もランチというか軽食という表現がベストかと思います。
後ほど、今日の写真です、とメールが届きましたが写真は添付されておらず…どこに問い合わせていいのかも分からず…
ちょっと期待し過ぎたかなと思いました。
イルカが見れなかったので次回割引券頂きましたが、次回も参加したいかと聞かれたら正直微妙なところです。

I participated with my fifth-grade and first-year middle school children (ages 40) as a group of three! Since we are an active family that enjoys things like obstacle courses in Japan, I really wanted to go to the adventure park and made a reservation while in Japan.
We arrived after about a 30-minute bus ride from Honolulu, put our belongings in a locker, and were ready to go.
Feeling excited, we headed to the Adventure Tower and were surprised! It was taller than I had imagined... My son was a bit nervous at first, but he easily cleared the first mini bungee jump! With the help of the staff, we managed to conquer all the obstacles around the tower, and before we knew it, an hour and a half had passed!
On the day I participated, there were Japanese staff members, so it was fine even if you couldn't speak English! Inside the Adventure Tower, there were some challenging spots where I thought, "I can't do this after all," but the kind staff came to help, which was reassuring! I highly recommend it for active people, so if you're looking for thrills, I think you should definitely give it a try.
I also think it would be interesting if there were courses that go deeper into the mountains, not just around the tower!
Next, I want to try the zip line.
小学5年生と中学1年生の子供と私(40歳)の3人で参加しました!
元々日本でもアスレチックなど好きなアクティブ派なので、アドベンチャーパークにどうしても行きたい!と日本で予約して参加しました。
ホノルルからバスで30分くらいで到着し、ロッカーに荷物を入れ スタンバイ完了。
ドキドキしてアドベンチャータワーに行ってビックリ!
想像していたよりも高さがある…
最初はややビビっていた息子でしたが、一発目のプチバンジーも難なくクリア!
その後もタワーの周りのアスレチックをスタッフの方にお手伝いしてもらいながら、無事に完全制覇でき、気がつけば1.5時間が経っていました!
私が参加した日は日本人のスタッフがいたので、英語が話せなくても大丈夫でした!
アドベンチャータワーの中にはちょっと難しくて途中で『やっぱり無理〜』という難関もありましたが、その時は優しいスタッフさん達が助けに来てくれますので、その辺りも心強いポイントです!
アクティブ派にはオススメなので、ぜひスリルを味わいたい方は行ってみるといいと思います。
タワー周りだけでなくもっと山の中を進んでいけるコースがあってもおもしろいと思います!
次はジップラインに行きたいと思います。

We set sail and were immediately greeted by a whale. It was an amazing start, as we could clearly see the spout and the body along with the tail, raising our expectations of encountering dolphins and turtles. After that, under the captain's guidance, we encountered many dolphins and turtles just as we hoped. The baby turtles were incredibly cute. We were able to welcome 2018 with a wonderful beginning. The staff were also very kind, and I am grateful. Thank you.
I can't swim, so I was scared when I jumped from the boat. But even at my age, I found the courage to try, and surprisingly, I was able to do it. It became a journey of discovery where I could challenge myself. Thank you.
出航していきなりクジラのお出迎えです。

This time, we went with my husband, myself, our third-grade daughter, our first-grade son, and our four-year-old son, a total of five people.
Since it was our first time at a water park, we discussed as a couple that it would be safer to go with an optional tour, so we decided to sign up.
First, for lunch:
We hesitated until the last minute about the BBQ lunch plan, but we felt that our three kids wouldn't eat much in front of the pool (they would be too focused on playing), so we opted for a plan with transportation only and bought hot dogs to eat ourselves. We brought our own water, so lunch cost about $10 per person. We had checked reviews in advance, so we observed the store (there was only one) and decided to have lunch around 11:30 after we arrived. There are tables and benches in front of the store. There was a bit of a line after 12:00, but it wasn't as long as we expected, though it might depend on the season. By the way, my daughter ordered pizza, but it seemed she didn't like it much and hardly ate any.
Now, for the activities:
Both kids and adults can enjoy it!! The pool with regular waves was a hit with our family!! Our four-year-old son also had fun riding on a float. There are various zones suitable for different ages, which is great. This time we came with a family friend, so our elementary school daughter and son took turns enjoying the water slide with their family, while my husband and I were able to enjoy the slide with our four-year-old son being looked after by our friends. If it had just been our family, we probably would have split up to play in groups of two and three...
I visited on December 30, and people of all ages were having fun! If I had to say something, the water felt cold to me ( ;∀; ) Maybe it was because of the wind. I would like to go on a sunny day!
今回、夫・私・小3娘・小1息子・4歳息子の5人で行ってきました。
初めてのウェット~だったので、
オプショナルツアーで行くのが確実かなと夫婦で話し合い、
思い切って申し込みました。
まずは【昼食】
ギリギリまで昼食BBQ付プランも迷いましたが、
子どもたち3人がプールを前にしてお腹いっぱい食べないような気がして(遊びに夢中になって)、あえて送迎付きプランのみにして自分たちでホットドッグを買って食べました。
昼食代は水を持参していたので、1人約10ドルぐらいでした。
あらかじめこちらで口コミをチェックしていたので、
お店(1店舗だけでした)の様子を見ながら、
ついてしばらくして11:30ぐらいには昼食タイムにしました。
お店の前にテーブルとベンチがあります。
12時以降はちょっとした列ができていましたが、
時期にもよるのでしょうが、
思っていたよりかは並んでいませんでした。
ちなみに娘はピザを頼みましたが、口に合わなかったみたいでほとんど食べませんでした。
そして、【アクティビティー】
子どもも大人も楽しめる!!
定期的に波が起きるプールは家族ではまりました!!
4歳の息子も浮き輪に乗って楽しみました。
子どもの年齢に応じて様々なゾーンがあるのでいいですね~。
今回は友人家族ときていたので、
小学生の娘や息子は交代しながら友人家族とウォータースライダーを楽しみ、
私たち夫婦も4歳の息子を友人家族に見てもらって、
スライダーを楽しむことができました。
家族だけだったらきっと2人と3人で分かれて遊んでいたかも…と思います。
私は12月30日に利用しましたが、
老若男女遊んでいました!
強いて言えば、私には水が冷たく感じました~( ;∀;)
風もあったからかな。
天気のいい日に行ってみたいです!

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

The pickup time will be delayed as it goes around various locations, but the round trip was easy and enjoyable. It was a bit chilly, so a rush is necessary. Once you enter, securing a spot is essential. The deck chairs at the central wave pool are highly sought after. If you can't find one, the round tables in front of the concession stand with chairs are close to the restrooms and changing areas, and they are in the shade, which I recommend.
The instructions for using the lockers for valuables were unclear, and the machine screen was hard to see in the sunlight, so I asked the staff at the concession stand for help. Once you receive a receipt with a 4-digit designated number printed on it, you're all set, and you can access it multiple times. Some attractions were closed, and there were long stops due to inspections or other reasons. Be careful to allow enough time to avoid being late for the bus back. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, but the bag check at the entrance is quite lenient. It's a place where both children and adults can have fun. I definitely want to go again.
ピックアップ時間は各地を回るので遅れますが行き帰り楽で楽しめました。肌寒くラッシュ必要です。入場したら場所取り必須。中央波プールのデッキチェアが争奪戦。なければ売店前丸テーブルに椅子がトイレや着替え、ロッカーにも近いし日陰でおススメ。
貴重品を預けるロッカーの使い方は分かりづらく、機械画面が日光で見えないので売店のお姉さんにヘルプ頼みました。指定番号4桁が印字されたレシートが出たら完了で、何度も出し入れ可能です。
アトラクションは中止あり、途中点検?などで長蛇のストップもあり。時間に余裕みてバス帰り時間に遅れないよう要注意。飲食持ち込み不可ですが、入場カバンチェックはゆる〜い感じです。子供から大人まで楽しめる場所です。是非また行きたい。

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Two years ago, I participated in a program at a junior high school and swam with dolphins. I wanted to experience that happiness again, so I joined this time. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any dolphins, but I was moved to see whales and turtles. I even got to see the spouts of several whales from a distance! And as expected from a university, Mr. Takao's passionate lecture and the meaningful movements in the dance were rich in content, conveying a love for Hawaii that captivated me. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again! (*^^*)
2年前に中学の方で参加しイルカと泳ぎました。その時の幸せ感を味わいたく今回参加させていただきました。残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけれど、クジラや亀に会えて感動しました。少し遠くですがクジラの潮吹きもみられました。それも何頭も…!そしてさすが大学、Mr.Takaoの熱のこもった講義?や、ひとうひとつの動作に意味を感じるダンス等も内容が濃く、Hawaii愛が伝わり聴きいってしまいました。ありがとうございました。また、是非参加させていただきます(*^^*)

I was unsure about going to the pool in Hawaii, but since the kids seemed excited, I decided to sign up. In the end, it was a great success! The adults had fun all day too.
Compared to Japan, the coin locker fees are high, but the fact that they use a password system and you don’t need to carry a key, along with the freedom to access your belongings, was very helpful.
There’s also a shop in the central area for lunch, and we were able to time it perfectly when a downpour came. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they mentioned this place first.
ハワイへ来てプール?!と思いつつも子供達が喜びそうだったので申し込みました。
結果、申し込んで大成功!大人も一日楽しめました。
日本と比べるとコインロッカー料金が高いですが、暗証番号式で鍵を持つ必要がなく、出し入れ自由なのは助かりました。
ランチも場内中央にお店があり、スコールが来た時にタイミングよくとることができました。

The guide who showed us around was enjoyable and great. We were able to see a sea turtle, even if just a little, and snorkeling was fun. Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I felt safe participating. We went as a family, but my kindergarten-aged grandchild was shivering and crying because of the low temperature. I think it's important to choose the right season for small children.
案内してくださったガイドの方が楽しくてよかったです。ウミガメは少しだけですが見えたし、シュノーケリングも楽しく、泳ぎが得意ではない私も安心して参加できました。家族で行きましたが、幼稚園児の孫は気温が低く、寒さに震えて泣いてしまいました。小さな子どもには季節を選ぶ必要があると思いました。

This was good for 11 yr old boy to be able to get dirty. The guide was nice It seemed a bit short of driving time for the amount it cost. It would be good if there was a car made for shorter people. It was hard to drive because I could barely reach pedals. Had to loosen seat belt to be able to reach anything. My nephew enjoyed it and he is 11 so that is good. Good activity just not a value. Maybe if there was a longer course or more laps.

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon! We decided to join this tour because we wanted to see dolphins in the beautiful ocean. The day before, there was heavy rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be clear skies. We took an early morning bus to the port, and when we boarded the boat, the staff warmly welcomed us. The staff maintained a cheerful atmosphere and treated us with care from start to finish. We traveled by boat for about 45 minutes, and during that time, we were able to see a whale spouting! (By the way, on the way back, we also saw its tail.)
As for the dolphins, I was a bit anxious that we might not encounter them since we were dealing with nature, but we were able to see them underwater! (Interestingly, it seems that there were no sightings for the three days leading up to our participation.) Although we didn't see them up close like in an aquarium, I was moved to encounter wild dolphins! After that, we split into activities and snorkeling. I experienced snorkeling, and I was able to see many fish up close as well. On the way back, we had a fun time dancing hula with the staff. It became a wonderful memory of our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon!
今回ハネムーンで初めてハワイにやってきました!綺麗な海でイルカがみたいということでこのツアーへの参加を決めました。前日は大雨で果たして天気は大丈夫かなと心配しましたが快晴でした。早朝バスに乗って港へ着き、船に乗船するとスタッフが明るく迎えてくれました。スタッフの皆さんは最初から最後まで明るい雰囲気で丁寧にもてなしてくれます。45分くらい船で移動しましたがその途中でクジラの潮吹きもみるとこができました!(ちなみに帰りは尾びれもみることができました)
そして肝心のイルカですが、自然が相手なので出会えないかもと不安もありましたが、水中でも見ることできました!(ちなみに参加日までの3日間は出会えなかったみたいです)水族館みたいに近距離でみれたわけではありませんが野生のイルカに出会えたのには感動しました!その後はアクティビティとシュノーケルに分かれました。シュノーケルを体験しましたがこちらもたくさんの魚を真近で見ることができました。帰りにはスタッフさんとフラで盛り上がったりと楽しいひと時でした。たった一度のハネムーンの良い思い出になりました!

I have used similar facilities in Guam, but this one is larger and more comprehensive in terms of content. Even though it was the end of the year, there were few waits, and we had a great time playing. I was a bit disappointed that there were paid activities inside the facility and that the jacuzzi was gone. There are many negative reviews about the food, but I had the BBQ that they cook right there, and it was delicious without any issues! Since it's about 40 km away from Waikiki, I recommend taking a tour that includes transportation. It would be even better if there were two different return times for the tour bus. I would love to visit again when I come back to Hawaii.
グアムで同じような施設は利用したことはありますが、こちらの施設の方が規模も内容も充実しています。 年末でしたが待ちも少なく楽しく遊べました。施設内で有料アクティビティがあるのとジャグジーが無くなっているのが、少し残念でした。食事は酷評が多いですが、その場で焼いてくれるBBQを食べましたが、問題なく美味しかったです!ワイキキからは40Kmほど離れているので、送迎のあるツアーをオススメします。ツアーのバスの帰る時間が2パターン位あるともっと嬉しいですね。次もハワイに来たら又行きたいと思います。

This was a great experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. I was having problems swimming in the choppy water and one of the girls stuck by me, made sure I was ok and also made sure I was able to see the dolphins.
My son and grandson loved seeing the turtles and the kayak.
Thank you for a wonderful time. We highly recommend this excursion with this company. They’re outstanding!

In the distance, I could see what looked like the tail of a whale and the shadow of a sea turtle, but in the end, there were no dolphins at all.
Along the way, I snorkeled for about an hour, but I didn't see any fish in areas that weren't particularly beautiful, like the coral reefs. When I participated in snorkeling tours in other countries, I had experiences where I saw very beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish, so if we weren't going to see dolphins, I wished we could at least stop at a spot where we could expect to see more tropical fish. Just looking at the white sand underwater quickly bored my child, and when we returned to the boat, it was cold.
One positive point was that the staff were very cheerful, dancing the hula and letting us ride in canoes.
I understand that these things can happen when dealing with nature, but I was disappointed that I invested a whole day, starting with a 5 AM gathering, for such a rare day in Hawaii.
By the way, as an apology for the group that didn't see dolphins, they said the next participation fee would be discounted by $20. However, since there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again, I won't participate anymore.
はるかかなたにクジラのしっぽと海亀が泳ぐ影らしきものが見られたのですが、結局イルカは姿すらなかったです・・。
途中、1時間ほど、シュノーケルをしたのですが、サンゴ礁など特に綺麗でないところで、魚も見られず・・。他国でシュノーケルツアーに参加した際は
とてもきれいなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚が見られた経験があるので、イルカも見られないならば、せめてもっと熱帯魚などが期待できるスポットで停泊してくれてもと思いました・・。海中の白い砂をみるだけで子供もすぐ飽きて、すぐに舟にひきあげたら今度は寒いと・・。
一つ良かった点は、スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気で、フラダンスを踊ってくださったり、カヌーに乗せてくれたりしました。
自然相手なのでこういうこともあるかとは思うのですが、貴重なハワイの1日を朝5時代に集合して一日投資したのにと残念でした。
ちなみに、イルカを見れなかったグループへのおわびとしては、次回参加代金が20ドルにディスカウントされるのだそうです。
同じことが2度ないとも限らないので、もう参加はしませんが。
Aloha, thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We apologize for not being able to provide a tour that met your expectations due to unfavorable conditions with the ocean and wildlife. As you mentioned, a retry for Dolphin University will be $20 per person, but if you consider Dolphin Junior High, a retry is free of charge. We would be grateful if you could consider participating again if the opportunity arises. We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a memorable experience on our tour.
Aloha, この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました。海や生き物のコンディションが芳しくなく、ご期待に沿うツアーを実現することが出来ず申し訳ございません。ご記載頂いた通り、イルカ大学へのリトライはお一人当たり$20となりますが、イルカ中学でしたら無料でリトライが可能ですので、もしまた機会があれば是非参加をご検討いただければ幸いです。弊社ツアーにて思い出に残る良いお時間をお過ごしいただくことが出来なかったこと、重ねてお詫び申し上げます。

On December 15, 2017 (Friday), I participated in "Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii - Enjoy Thrilling Water Slides! / Limited Time Campaign / One-Day Pass / With Shuttle Service."
We were a family of seven and had the earliest pickup at 9:00 AM, but there was a group that arrived late at the next Sheraton, and we had to leave without picking them up. Before entering the freeway, the tour company called the driver and instructed him to "go back to the Sheraton and pick up the group that missed the bus." The driver was angry, but in the end, we returned to the Sheraton to pick up the late group.
I heard that the group was delayed because they were smoking. This caused about a 30-minute loss of time. I believe there was no need to go back to pick up a group that was late for such a reason. If you are late, you should use a taxi or similar service to get there.
While the late group received very kind and gentle treatment, the group that boarded the bus at 9:00 AM was treated poorly. The late group got on the bus without showing any remorse or even saying, "I'm sorry," which was frustrating.
"Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii" was very empty, almost like we had the place to ourselves. December is indeed a quiet time! We were able to slide down the slides multiple times without any waiting, which was very satisfying.
We had reserved a cabana, but since it was so empty, there were plenty of deck chairs and tables available, so I thought we might not have needed to rent a cabana after all. We also received two inner tubes, and since it was not crowded, we didn't have to wait in line to borrow tubes for the slides. If you go with a large group during busy times, I think using a cabana would be convenient.
2017.12.15(金)『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を楽しもう! / 【期間限定キャンペーン】1日パス / 送迎付き 』に参加しました。
私達は家族7人で、9時の一番のピックアップでしたが、次のシェラトンで遅れてきたグループがあり、ピックアップできずに出発しました。フリーウェイに入る前に、ツアー会社から運転手に電話があり、「シェラトンに戻って遅れてバスに乗れなかったグループをピックアップしろ」とのこと。運転手も怒っていましたが、結局のところシェラトンに戻って、遅れたグループをピックアップしました。
そのグループは煙草を吸っていて遅れたとのこと。その間約30分のロス。
そんな理由で遅れたグループを戻ってまでピックアップする必要は無いと思いました。遅れた場合はタクシーなどを利用して行くべきだと思います。
遅れてきたグループには大変親切でやさしい対応でしたが、9時1番にバスに乗ったグループにはとんでもない対応でした。
遅れてきたグループは悪びれることもなく、「すみません。」の一言もなく、バスに乗り込んできたのには閉口しました。
「ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ」はとても空いていて、まるで貸し切り状態でした。12月は空いているのですね!
スライダーも全く待つことなく、何度も滑ることができ、充分満足しました。
カバナを予約していきましたが、閑散としていたので、デッキチェアもテーブルもいっぱい空いていて、カバナを借りるまでもなかったかな?と思いました。
浮き輪も2つ付いていましたが、空いていたので、スライダーの浮き輪を借りるのに並ぶこともなかったです。
大勢で行く場合、混雑時だったら、カバナを利用すると便利かと思います。

This time, we participated as a three-generation family. In Waikiki, we couldn't find sandals in small sizes for young children, so we gave up and joined the tour. However, at the entrance, there were many cute sandals available. Additionally, there were plenty of waterproof items, which got the whole family excited and set us off to a great start.
The lockers were of a type not commonly seen in Japan, but the staff kindly explained how to use them in Japanese without delay, allowing us to securely store our belongings.
Once inside, colorful rides and attractions spread out before us, building our excitement. Each ride is thrilling, and you'll definitely want to go on them multiple times! Especially, the Volcano Express is great for racing to see who can reach the finish line first. Of course, we competed several times. There’s also a three-dimensional pool where young children can play and enjoy themselves, making it fun for all generations!
If you get a little hungry, there are restaurants, fast food places, and bars, so you could spend the whole day there without running out of time. During the rainy season, there can be cold days, so I think it's a good idea to participate wearing a long-sleeved rash guard for UV protection.
この度は、三世代で参加しました。ワイキキでは、小さな子ども用のサイズのサンダルを見つけられず、諦めてツアーに参加。しかし エントランスでは、可愛いサンダルがたくさん。その他、防水グッズ等も多数揃えられており 家族皆テンションが上がり、幸先の良いスタートとなりました。
そして、ロッカーは日本では見かけないタイプでしたが、空かさずスタッフの方が日本語で丁寧に使い方を教えてくださり、安心して荷物を預けることが出来ました。
中に入ると、カラフルなライドやアトラクションが目の前に広がり、ワクワク感が募ります。
どのライドもスリル満点で、何度も繰り返し滑りたくなる事、請け合い!
特に、Volcano Express は、誰が早くゴール出きるか競争しても良いですね。勿論、私達も 何度も競争しました。小さな子ども達も楽しんで遊べる立体的なプールもあるので、世代関係なく楽しめます!
小腹が空いたら、レストランやファーストフード店やバーもあるので、一日中 居ても 時間が足らないくらい。雨季は、寒い日もあるので、UVカットも兼ねて 長袖のラッシュガードでの参加が良いと思います。

I participated in September, and this time I also reserved a cabana. The cabana comes with a cooler filled with mineral water and fruits, and the staff takes lunch orders and delivers them to the cabana. During busy times like summer vacation, there's no need to wait in line, and you can order whatever you like from a wide menu. You can enjoy a relaxing and leisurely time.
Since there are cabana-exclusive floaties, there's no need to search for floaties in the wave pool. I think using a cabana is a great idea, especially during crowded periods.
9月に参加しましたが、今回はカバナも申し込みました。カバナは、クーラーボックスにミネラルウォーターやフルーツが用意され、ランチはスタッフがオーダーを取り、カバナまで届けてくれます。夏休みなどの混雑時には並ぶ必要もなく、豊富なメニューから好きなものをオーダー出来ます。のんびりとゆったりしたひと時が過ごせます。
浮き輪はカバナ専用の物があるため、波のプールで浮き輪探しの必要もありません。
特に混雑する時期に、カバナ利用はいいと思います。

I participated with my 6-year-old child, but swimming with the dolphins was quite a challenge, so my spouse and I took turns. The activity slide looked fun, and it was great to see everyone enjoying it.
It was mid-December, and I heard it was cold even with a wetsuit, so I brought a winter rash guard just in case and wore diving shorts underneath, which kept me warm.
We were able to see about 10 dolphins up close! During snorkeling, we encountered about 3 dolphins, and I was very satisfied! I was also glad to see a sea turtle from the boat.
I think it can depend on the weather, but unlike other tours, it was great to have an eco-friendly and authentic experience. Thank you!
6歳の子供と参加しましたが、
イルカと泳ぐのはハードル高くて、
夫婦で交換ずつ参加しました。
アクティビティの滑り台は、
楽しそうにやっており良かったです。
12月半ばでしたが、ウェットスーツでも寒いとの事で、
念のために持参した冬用ラッシュガードと、
ダイビング用の短パンをインナーにしたら、
寒くなかったです。
イルカさんは、群れで10頭くらいに間近で逢えました!
シュノーケリングの時も、3頭くらいに逢えて、
大満足でした!
ウミガメにも船の上から逢えてよかったです。
天候にも左右されると思いますが、
他のツアーさんと違って、エコで本格的なツアーでよかったです。
ありがとうございました!

I chose the option to meet at the location, but after arriving at the destination, I had to wait for a while. In the end, those who gathered by bus were prioritized, and I had to wait again. When I called out to the guide, I was told that unless I was part of the bus group, I would have to hear the explanation twice, and I was treated dismissively. It was very unpleasant.
現地集合のオプションにしたのですが、目的地に着いて、しばらく待たされ、あげくバスで集合した方が優先され、さらにしばらく待たされ、ガイドの方がどこか行くので、声をかけると、バス集合でないと、説明が二度なるといわれ、邪険にあつかわれた。非常に不快でした。

I wanted to swim with dolphins. It was my husband's long-time wish, so we joined this tour. We gathered at 5:30 in the morning, which marked the start of a cold day. Even though it was Hawaii, December was chilly. After arriving at the port, we set sail. We borrowed wetsuits and got into the water. The waves were high, and the sea was murky; occasionally, we could see the dolphins' fins, but not clearly. During that time, I ended up drinking water multiple times and was coughing (-_-;) I got back on the boat once to search for where the dolphins were and moved to a different spot. However, when I got in the water for the second time, I was shivering too much from the cold and had no choice but to give up. My husband went in. He encountered the dolphins and said he was able to swim with them a little, which made him happy, but I was still struggling with the cold and just wanted to go back. I had that feeling the whole time... I want to try again during a warmer season instead of winter.
イルカと一緒に泳ぎたい。主人の昔からの願いでしたので、このツアーに参加しました。朝、5:30に集合だったので、そこから寒い一日がスタートしました。ハワイとはいえ、12月は寒かった。港について、出港。ウェットスーツを借りて、水の中に入りました。波も高く、海も濁っていて、たまに、イルカの背びれが見え隠れしていましたが、はっきりとは見えず。その間に、何度も水を飲んでしまい、ゲホゲホ(-_-;) 一度船に上がり、イルカのいる場所を探し移動。そして、二度目の入水の時には、ガタガタと寒すぎて震えがきて、どうしようもなく、私は断念。主人は中に入りました。イルカ達がいるところに遭遇し、若干一緒に泳げたそうで、主人はよかったといっていましたが、私はその後も寒さとの葛藤で、早く帰りたい。そんな思いがずっとありまして、、、
冬ではなく、今度は暖かい時期にもう一度チャレンジしたいと思います。
Aloha!! Satchin,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. Even in Hawaii, there can be windy days during this time of year, so we hope you will visit again in the warm summer months. There are also manta ray tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.
