All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

We participated as a pair, and since it was written that if we wrote a review of over 200 characters after the experience during the campaign period, one person would be free, we decided immediately!!

The bus arrived quite late compared to the meeting time, but it was good that we reached the destination early! When driving on the highway, it suddenly appears in an area that looks like a construction site (laughs). When we arrived, there was a guide who provided Japanese explanations on the bus, which was reassuring◎

Although it was a holiday, it was relatively empty compared to large pool facilities in Japan, so we were able to enjoy all the attractions!! The slide where you slide down on a mat was particularly thrilling and fun, and it felt like something that wouldn't be made in Japan because it seems dangerous! I think those who are not good with roller coasters should be prepared (laughs).

We chose a plan that included drinks, but the available drinks were mainly carbonated, along with some that were like syrup for shaved ice. Honestly, since bringing bottled water was allowed, it might have been fine not to have the drink plan.

In any case, it was a lot of fun, so I would like to participate in the tour again when I go to Hawaii!

2人で参加させていただいたのですが、キャンペーン期間で体験後に200文字以上のレビューをしたら1人分無料と書いてあったので、即決めました！！

バスは集合時間よりかなり遅くつきましたが目的地には早くついたので良かったです！高速道路走ってると造成地みたいなところに急に現れます（笑）
着いたら、バスで日本語案内してくれるガイドの方がいらっしゃったので安心しました◎

祝日だったのですが、日本の大きなプール施設に比べるとかなり空いている方で全部のアトラクションを楽しむことが出来ました！！
特にマットで滑る滑り台がかなり迫力があって楽しかったのと、日本じゃ危なくてこんなの作らないだろうなーという感じでした！絶叫マシーンが苦手な人は覚悟した方がいいと思います笑

今回ドリンク付きのプランにしたのですが、選べる飲み物は主に炭酸系で、後はかき氷のシロップみたいな飲み物とかでした。ペットボトルの水は持ち込みOKだったので、ドリンク付きじゃなくても良かったのかなっていうのが正直なところです。

なんにせよ、とっても楽しかったのでハワイに行ったらまたツアーに参加させていただきたいと思いました！

It was amazing to see a whale first, then a dolphin, and next a sea turtle! It would have been even better if I could have gone diving in that beautiful ocean! I thought I would like to dive if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii next time.

最初にクジラに会えて、次にイルカ、その次に海亀に会えて最高だった！
あとはあの綺麗な海に潜ることができればもっと最高だった！」
今度ハワイに行く機会があれば潜りたいと思いました。

At first, I considered going on my own, but I found this plan and decided to go with the shuttle service. Climbing the stairs for the water slide consumed more energy than I expected, so choosing the shuttle plan was the right decision!

For the coin lockers, you can't choose your preferred location; instead, you first use the machine to make a payment and set a PIN, which then reveals the locker number you can use. Also, the display on the machine is quite hard to read, making it difficult to operate. Since there were many Japanese participants on the tour, it was easy to ask questions with Japanese staff nearby.

Thanks to the off-season, there were no wait times for the attractions, and I had a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the lazy river was only open for two hours. Personally, I recommend the Tornado. You never know where you're going, so it keeps you on edge until you stop.

I think it's important to be cautious about injuries from friction on exposed skin areas like your ankles, knees, and elbows while wearing a swimsuit on all attractions. Especially for the Island Racer, I recommend being mindful to keep your feet and arms as much as possible inside the bodyboard. You might be too scared to think about it, but it would be a shame to get injured and not be able to enter the pool...

The park opened at 10:30, and we gathered at 15:00, which made me worried about having enough time, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.

最初は自力で行くことも考えましたが、こちらのプランを見つけたので送迎プランにしました。ウォータースライダーでの階段の上りは、思った以上に体力を消耗していたので、送迎プランで正解でした！
コインロッカーは自分の好きな位置を選ぶのではなく、最初に機械を使って支払いと暗証番号を決めることで始めて使えるロッカー番号がわかります。また、機械の表示がとても見にくいので操作しづらいです。ツアーで参加した日本人が多いからか、日本人スタッフが近くにいたので質問しやすいです。
アトラクションはシーズンオフのおかげで待ち時間もなく、楽しめました。ただ、流れるプールが2時間限定の解放で少し残念でした。個人的にオススメはトルネードです。どこに行くかわからないので止まるまでドキドキし続けます。
すべてのアトラクションで、くるぶしや膝、肘など水着で肌が出ている箇所が摩擦によってケガをしないように注意したほうが良いと思います。特にアイランドレーサーは出来るだけボディボードから足や腕が出ないように意識することをオススメします。怖くてそれどころではないかもしれませんが、怪我をしてしまうとプールに入れないのは残念なので…。
10時半開園の15時集合でしたが、時間が足りないかと不安でしたが、充分楽しむことが出来ました。

Swimming with dolphins was amazing.
I recommend taking measures to stay warm on the return boat, as my wet body got cold.
I was advised to buy the photo data from the tour company, but I'm not sure about it. Most of the photos didn't have me in them, and they weren't great for memories.

イルカと一緒に泳げるなんて　最高でした。
帰りのボートは濡れた体が冷えて寒かったので対策して行かれることをお薦めします。
写真のデーターを催行会社から勧められて買いましたがこれは？マークです。　　自分の写ってるのはほとんどなく変な顔や記念にはなりませんでした

On the morning of the day I had a reservation, I received a message from the staff at VELTRA saying, "The waves are too high today, and the tour cannot proceed..." They explained the refund and rescheduling process, and I was able to reschedule for the next day. Their response was very professional, and I had no worries at all. I was a bit anxious the next day, but since I didn’t receive a call, I thought everything was fine and headed to the pickup location. However, it turned out to be the day of an annual parade, and the roads were heavily congested. After waiting for the bus for an hour... (I wondered if this could have been anticipated since it happens every year, but all the other tours and buses heading to the airport were also delayed, so I thought it might just be something you have to accept in Hawaii with a big heart, haha). It seemed that the street where we were supposed to be picked up was particularly congested, so the bus stopped on a larger road, and two staff members (one of whom was Japanese) ran to greet us. A large, beautiful bus came to pick us up. Once on the bus, they began with an apology for the delay, introduced the staff, and explained the schedule and important notes in English followed by Japanese. There was also information about purchasing a USB for photos and videos taken on the trip, as well as renting wetsuits. Those who purchased the photo/video package on the way to the destination received a wristband as a gift (one for each participant) and a $5 discount. It seems that if you stay close to the photographer, you might get more photos taken. Upon arriving at the harbor, we used the restroom and borrowed fins and goggles. (We also tried on the wetsuits we rented on the bus here.) Once we found the right size, we boarded the boat. After boarding, we set off to look for dolphins, and during that time, there was another explanation, and we sang a Hawaiian song to show respect for the ocean and its creatures while offering flowers. The cheerful Hawaiian staff jumped into the sea as soon as we reached the dolphin spot and swam to the location of the dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles or whales, but we did meet dolphins, which was an emotional experience that allowed us to feel connected to nature. After that, we moved to another location where we had free time to enjoy snorkeling and kayaking. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed taro cheese burgers, bite-sized pineapple, and a small bag of chips each. The staff also performed hula dancing, and everyone participated in dancing together. It was a fun time throughout, and my whole family was very satisfied. Since we purchased the USB, we went to pick it up at an office near DFS in Waikiki that evening, and the Japanese man at the office was very friendly and approachable. You can also receive an eco-bag at this office. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. If you have children, I think the 11 AM departure plan would be better to avoid putting too much strain on them. Even if you usually don’t get motion sickness, I think it’s wise to take motion sickness medication as a precaution.

予約をしていた日の朝、ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのスタッフの方から「本日は波が高く催行不可能となりました…」と連絡があり、返金・振り替えなどの説明があり、翌日へ振り替えてもらいました。もちろんきちんとした対応で、何の心配もありませんでした。次の日も心配でしたが、電話が来なかったので大丈夫なんだなと思いピックアップ場所へ。しかしその日は年に一度のパレードの日だったらしく道路は大渋滞。バスを待つこと1時間…。（毎年の事なので事前に予測できないのかな？とは思いましたが、他のツアーも、空港へ向かう予約のバスもどれもこれも全てが遅れていたのでハワイでは仕方がないのかな？と思う大きな心が必要です（笑））我が家のピックアップ場所の通りが特に渋滞していたようなので大きい道路にバスを停めスタッフの方が2人（1人は日本人）で走って迎えに来てくれました。大きい素敵なバスがお迎えに来てくれていました。バスに乗るとまず、遅れたお詫びから始まりスタッフの紹介、今日のスケジュールや注意事項などを英語に続き日本語で説明してくれます。バスの中で写真や動画を収めたＵＳＢの購入、ウエットスーツのレンタルなどについても説明があります。行きのバスで写真・動画のセットを購入した人はリストバンドのプレゼント（参加人数分）、5㌦の割引がありました。カメラマンの方の近くにいると多めに撮ってもらえるような気がします。ハーバーに着くと、トイレを済ませフィン・ゴーグルを借ります。（バスの中でレンタルしたウエットスーツもここで試着してみます）サイズを合わせて、ＯＫであれば船に乗り込みます。乗船後、イルカを探しに行きますがその間、再度説明があり、海や生き物に敬意を表すためのハワイの歌を歌って花を捧げます。陽気なハワイアンのスタッフ、イルカのポイントに着いたらすぐに海へ飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳いでいきます。残念ながらかめ、くじらには会えませんでしたが、イルカに出会え自然を感じられ感動でした。そのあとは別の場所へ移動し、シュノーケリングやカヤックなどで遊ぶ自由時間があります。ハーバーまで帰港する際にタロイモのチーズバーガー、パイナップル1口サイズを1つ小袋のチップスを一人一袋食べながら帰っていきます。スタッフがフラダンスも踊ってくれ、参加者皆で踊ったりもします。終始楽しい時間で家族みんな大満足です。我が家はUSBを購入したので、その日の夕方ワイキキのDFS近くにあるオフィスへ取りに行きオフィスにいた日本人の男性もとても気さくで感じのいいかたでした。エコバックはこのオフィスでもらえます。次回ハワイへ行った際には是非また参加したいです。お子さんがいらっしゃる場合は、11時出航プランにした方が子供の負担にならないと思います。普段酔わなくても酔い止めは予防として飲むべきだと思います。

It was a slightly chilly day and there was a downpour, but there were many different water slides, and I had a lot of fun. I would definitely like to go again if I have the chance!

少し肌寒い日でスコールも来ましたが、色々なウォータースライダーが沢山あってとても楽しめました。また、機会があれば是非行ってみたいです！

I visited at the end of the year. It was easy to get around since there was a bus from the hotel with a shuttle service.

The park isn't very large, but it's a treasure trove of water slides. You can enjoy thrilling slides that you can't experience in Japan without waiting in long lines.

The pool water was quite cold, which surprised me at first. However, the kids seemed to get used to it quickly.

One downside was that I had to wait quite a while to order lunch. There were various menu options, but I was told that only set menus were available when I tried to order. The bus pickup was at 3:15 PM, so I wanted to play a bit longer, but lunch took quite a bit of time. However, since outside food isn't allowed (they check bags at the entrance), we had no choice but to eat there.

I think if you buy lunch early or adjust your timing, you can enjoy your time there more effectively.

年末に行きました。送迎付きでホテルからバスが出たので移動が楽チンでした。
園内はそんなに広いわけではありませんが、ウォータースライダーの宝庫です。日本では味わうことのできないスリル満点のスライダーを、そんなに並ばずに楽しむことができます。
プールの水がかなり冷たいので、最初はびっくりしました。が、子供たちはすぐに慣れたようでした。
ちょっと残念だったのが、お昼を注文するのにかなり並んだことです。そして色々なメニューがあったのですが、注文するときにセットメニューしか扱ってないと言われました。バスのお迎えが15：15だったので、もう少し遊びたかったのですがお昼に結構時間がかかってしまいました。ただ、持ち込みができないため(入園時にカバンチェックがあります。)、そこで食べるしかないのですが。
お昼は早めに買うなど、時間をずらすと上手に遊べると思います。

I participated in my first overseas trip with my family, along with my 7-year-old daughter (first grader) and myself (45 years old). My wife (43 years old) and my 3-year-old daughter stayed behind to explore.

We rented a car in Waikiki to head to our destination, but we got lost along the way. When I called for help, a Japanese female staff member came to pick us up since she was nearby, which was a huge relief.

My daughter was looking forward to doing some activities in Hawaii, so we decided to try the Adventure Tower. Before we started, I was a bit worried about whether my 7-year-old daughter would be able to do it, but I went first to show her how it’s done. I was surprised to see her bravely crossing the suspended platforms. The instructors and staff encouraged her with "good job!" while my wife, who was watching, kept saying, "That's scary, impossible, impossible. You did it—amazing!"

We also tried the "Free Fall," where you jump from the top of the tower at a height of 15 meters, and the "Giant Swing," which swings like a pendulum when you jump from just below the top (imagine being suspended by a single rope and swinging like a swing). We spent about 90 minutes doing these activities, and it flew by.

Although my daughter couldn't reach the top of the climbing wall, she was very satisfied with the fun and sense of accomplishment afterward. I personally think it's something I can absolutely recommend to those who haven't tried it yet. Even a 45-year-old dad and his 7-year-old daughter could do it, and there were instructors present, so safety was not an issue at all.

I would love to do this again when we visit next time. I want to try the zip line as well!

Beautiful water with dolphins and whales and an excellent staff. I’d do it again. Food was exceptional

There are various pools, so both children and adults enjoyed themselves. The management is really thorough, so it seems like there won't be any injuries or unnecessary troubles, which provided a sense of security. However, considering the travel time and costs, it might be more enjoyable once the kids are in elementary school or older. With preschoolers, there are height restrictions that can be disappointing.

いろんなプールがあるので子供も大人も楽しめました。すごい管理もしっかりしてるので怪我や余計なトラブルもなさそうだし、その辺も安心感ありました。
でも移動時間やお金のことを考えると、子供が小学生以上になってからの方が、満喫できるかな。
幼稚園くらいだと身長制限でダメなのもあって、なんとなく残念な気持ちにもなりました。

I participated with my father (in his 60s). Since both of us grew up by the sea, we had no worries about swimming, but we were a bit nervous since it was our first time. The woman in charge was absolutely wonderful, and during the bus ride, we had a homeroom session where the participants (we were referred to as such) were laughing the whole time and felt relaxed. On the day of participation, we were told that due to high waves, it might be hard to spot dolphins right away, but as soon as we boarded the boat, we were able to see dolphins and sea turtles! After that, we dove into the sea and were moved to see dolphins swimming right below us... (they were quite far away, though, haha). We couldn't see them up close, but we were able to confirm a significant number of dolphins.

There were participants who suffered from seasickness throughout the trip, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness or can't swim (once you dive into the sea, the boat leaves, so if you want to return, you can't. We swam as a group for about 20 minutes, which could be quite tough for those who aren't confident). However, for those who have no issues with seasickness or swimming, I wholeheartedly recommend it! You can experience a feeling of being one with nature!

私と父(60代)で参加しました。二人とも海街育ちなので泳ぎには全く不安は無かったのですが、初めての参加のためドキドキでした。担当の女性の方がとっっても素敵な方で、バスの中でホームルームをするのですが終始生徒(参加者はこう呼ばれます)は笑いっぱなしでリラックス出来ました。参加日は波が高い為すぐに見つかるか分からないとの事でしたが、船に乗り込んですぐにイルカ・海亀を見る事が出来ました！その後海にダイブし泳ぎながら自分たちの真下を泳ぐイルカに感動…(距離はかなり遠いですが笑)間近で見ることが叶いませんでしたがかなりの数のイルカを確認できました。

船酔いで終始苦しんでおられる参加者の方もいましたので、船酔いする方や泳げない方(海に一度潜ると船は離れますので戻りたくてももどれません。20分くらい団体で泳ぐので得意じゃない方はかなら辛そうでした)にはおすすめしませんが、船酔いにも泳ぎにも問題ない方には全力でおすすめです！自然と一体化した気分が味わえますよう！

After swimming with dolphins in the Ogasawara Islands, I became captivated by them and applied for the experience. First, I tend to get seasick, so I intended to take motion sickness medication but forgot, and we set sail as is. As expected, I got seasick. I didn't reach the point of vomiting, but on the way back, I felt nauseous and couldn't eat. So, I recommend that anyone who is prone to seasickness definitely take motion sickness medication.

Now, onto the main event with the dolphins. It seems I was lucky that day, as we quickly encountered a pod of about a dozen dolphins. As soon as we jumped into the water, we were able to swim with the dolphins right away. They swam around us repeatedly, so we got to swim with them many times. They were really cute.

After that, we went snorkeling. Here too, as soon as we got into the water, we encountered two sea turtles. It was really exciting to see a large sea turtle swimming so comfortably.

After that, in January, the sun went down, and it got really cold. I recommend bringing warm clothing. The local staff were entertaining and made sure everyone had a good time, so overall, I was very satisfied.

小笠原でドルフィンスイムをしてからイルカに虜になり、応募しました。
まず私は酔いやすかったので、酔い止めを飲もうとしてたのですが忘れてしまい、そのまま出航。案の定酔ってしまいました。吐くまでは行きませんが、帰りの船は気持ち悪くご飯食べるところではありませんでした。なので酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいとおもいます。
そして本番のドルフィン。
当日は運が良かったみたいで、すぐに十数頭いる群れに出会えました。
海にとびんこんでからすぐにイルカと泳げました。ずっと私たちの周りをくるくると泳いでくれてたみたいなので、何度も何度もイルカと泳げました。キッキいってほんとに可愛かったです。
そのあと、シュノーケル。
ここでも海に降りてすぐ、2匹のウミガメに出会えました。大きなウミガメが気持ちよさそうに泳いでてほんと嬉しかったです。
そのあとは1月で太陽が隠れてしまいすごく寒かったです。防寒のものを持参することをお勧めします。
現地スタッフのかたは面白くて皆さんを楽しませてくれ、全体的に満足です。

We went as a couple. There were many families there. The slides were of a type that you don't find in Japan, and they were a lot of fun. All the slides were easy to ride on. The summer beds were available in the morning, but by around noon, they were all taken. Since we went during New Year's, it was cold. After getting out of the pool, it was chilly, so I think it's better to bring a rash guard. They sell them at the shop at the entrance, but the selection is limited. Since it was a round-trip bus, it was easy to just sleep the whole way. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii during a warmer season!

夫婦でいきました。ファミリーで来てる方が多かったです。スライダーは日本にはないようなタイプのものが多く、とても楽しかったです。
スライダーはどれもさほどならばずに乗れました。
サマーベッドは朝は空いてましたが、お昼頃には埋まっていました。
お正月に行ったので、寒かったです。プールから上がった後は寒いので、ラッシュガードは持って行ったほうがいいと思います。入り口のショップで売っていますが、種類は少ないです。
往復バスなのでずっと寝ていけるので、楽でした。次暖かい時期にハワイに行ったら、またぜひ行きたいです！！

Two years ago, I came here with my elementary school son, husband, and a female friend during summer vacation, and we had a great time, so this time I went again without my husband! Last time, it was quite crowded since it was during summer vacation, and we could only ride four types of slides, plus the ground was hot and walking was tough. However, this time we hardly had to wait for most of the slides and rode them twice! The weather was nice, but it was still quite cold... My super timid son seemed to enjoy the slides, but his favorite was the wave pool. I had a hard time staying on the float and got caught by the waves several times, so that night my knees and back were quite sore...汗

2年前の夏休みに小学生の息子とダンナ、女友達の4人で来て、すごく楽しかったので、今回はダンナ抜きでもう一度行ってきました！
前回は夏休み中だったこともあり、カナリ混雑していて、4種類しかスライダーに乗れなかったし、地面が暑くて歩くのが辛かったけど、今回は殆どのスライダーにあまり並ぶこともなく、2回ずつ乗りました！
ただ、天気は良かったけど、さすがに寒かったですが・・・
超ビビリの息子もスライダーには楽しく乗れたようですが、一番のお気に入りは波のプールでした。
私は浮き輪に上手く乗れなくて、何度も波に足を取られて、その日の夜は膝と腰がかなり痛かったです・・・汗

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I enrolled in Dolphin University. While riding the bus to the port, the staff shared various stories, making the journey enjoyable. On the boat heading to where the dolphins were, I was thrilled to also see whales! I was so happy to get off the boat twice and see a large group of dolphins up close. I also got to see sea turtles and fish, which was fun. Although I found the SUP, slide, and canoeing a bit lacking since we could only do them for a short time, I had a great time overall. If I get the chance to come back to Waikiki, I will enroll in Dolphin University again! For those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、イルカ大学に入学しました。バスに乗って、港までの間もスタッフが色んなお話をしてくれて楽しく過ごせました。船に乗ってイルカのいるところまで向かう間に、クジラも見えて感動しました！二度船から降り、イルカの大群をたくさん間近で見れて嬉しかったです。また海ガメも間近で見れたり、魚も見れて楽しかったです。SUPや滑り台やカヌーはおまけで少し出来るくらいで物足りなかったですが、すごく楽しかったです。またワイキキに来れたら、イルカ大学に入学します！！
船酔いする方が沢山いたので、心配な方は必ず酔い止めを飲むべきです。

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。
潮吹きと胴体にシッポもハッキリくっきり見ることが出来て最高な滑り出し、イルカちゃんやカメさんに出会える期待が高まる船出でした。
その後、船長さんの操縦で期待通りに沢山のイルカ達やカメ達に遭遇しました。子亀がとっても可愛らしかったです。２０１８年が素晴らしい幕開けで迎えることが出来ました。スタッフの皆さんもとっても親切で感謝です。ありがとうございました。（m）
泳げない私、船から飛び込む時怖かった。でも年をとってもやって見ると意外とできる勇気をもらいました。チャレンジ出来る発見の旅となりました。
ありがとう。（y）

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！

I was able to experience the sliders and other attractions. I recommend going in the morning when it's not too crowded. Once you go, you'll be satisfied.

スライダーやその他のアトラクションをひと通り体験できた。それほど混まない午前中がオススメ。一度行けば満足。

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。

The pickup took a long time and was tiring. The park itself was enjoyable with no wait times, but the only clock was broken, so I was anxious about not knowing the time.

ピックアップからの時間が長くて疲れました。パーク自体は待ち時間もなく楽しめましたが唯一の時計が壊れていて時間がわからなかったので焦りました。

Departure before sunrise to West Oahu. The scenery was different from Waikiki and had its own charm! I was able to see the dolphins swimming directly below me on the second try! Unfortunately, I used a 2mm wetsuit for warmth, but it was still cold.

西オアフまで、日の出前の出発。初めて見る景色もWaikikiとは違った風情！イルカには、２回目のトライで真下に泳ぐ姿が見られました！残念だったのは、寒さ対策で、2mmのタッパーを使いましたが、寒かったです。

Even if the dolphins are that far away, being told "You saw the dolphins, right?" is a bit confusing.
The light lunch and other dances were as expected.
It would be nice if there were a place for women to change besides the restroom on the way back.

イルカがあれほど遠くても「イルカ見えたでしょ、みえたでしょ」と言われても？？
軽食ランチ、他ダンスは想像通りだった
帰り女性が着替える場所がトイレ以外にあれば

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.
