All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

Adventure Tower was a lot of fun and brought me back to my childhood. However, you might feel it's not quite enough. I could hear the voices of a group doing the zip line, and I thought, "We want to do that too." The buggies were also appealing... Since it was an experience course, I can't ask for too much, but of course, there are safety harnesses. However, the course is quite athletic and progresses through very unstable footing, so it might be a bit tough for those with a fear of heights or lacking confidence in their legs. The next day, I had a bit of muscle soreness. You also have to hook the safety harness yourself, but it's set at a slightly high position, which might be challenging for shorter people like children. At the end, we did something like a low bungee jump. I got to experience the feeling of being Tarzan, but even for someone like me who isn't afraid of heights, it was a little scary. If you're someone who wants to try bungee jumping someday, this could be a good warm-up.

アドベンチャータワーは童心に帰って楽しめました。ただ、それだけでは物足りないと感じるかもしれません。ジップラインをしているグループの声も聞こえてきて「自分達もやりたい」と思いました。バギーも…。体験コースでしたので、贅沢は言えませんがf(^^; もちろん命綱はありますが、とても足場が不安定なところを進んで行くアスレチックなため、高所恐怖症な方、足腰に自信のない方はちょっと厳しいかもしれません。私は次の日、じゃっかん筋肉痛になりました。また、命綱を自分で引っ掻けて進んで行くのですが、少し高めの位置に設置されているため、子供など身長の低い人もしんどいかも…。最後には低めのバンジー的なものをしました。ターザン気分を味わえましたが、高所恐怖症ではない私でも少し怖かったです。いつかバンジーに挑戦したいと思っている人なら、肩慣らしにいいかもです。

It was a very cold day in November, but when I entered the crystal-clear sea, I was able to meet dolphins, and the coldness disappeared! Next time, I want to go to Manta University!

11月でとても寒い日でしたが、透き通った海に入るとイルカに会うことができ、寒さも吹き飛びました！
次回はマンタ大学に行きたいです！

The day we went, the lazy river was closed, but we had a great time playing on the water slides! However, it was quite tiring to carry the rubber boat up due to the strong winds. There was also a smoking area, which I was very satisfied with. It's best to have lunch early. I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii.

私たちが行った日は、流れるプールが休みだったのですが、ウォータースライダーで何度も遊びました！ただゴムボートを手持ちで登っていくのですが、強風で大変疲れました。。喫煙エリアもあり大変満足でした。お昼は早めに取るのが良いです。
またハワイに行く時は行きたいと思います。

The pickup bus was significantly delayed from the scheduled time, which made us very anxious at first. There was a contact phone number on the voucher for inquiries like "If the bus is more than 10 minutes late and hasn't arrived," but it was only available in English, so my husband and I, who don't speak English, were at a loss. Additionally, it mentioned that "the staff would be wearing blue T-shirts or holding a sign," but the staff did not fit either description and were just standing there without calling out participants' names, making it very difficult to identify them.

However, the pool itself was well-equipped with slides, and there were few people, so we were able to enjoy it without any wait times. Even adults can have a great time. Unfortunately, the weather was not favorable; the wind was very cold, and the lazy river was under maintenance and unavailable, which was disappointing.

迎えのバスが予定の時間よりだいぶ遅れてきたため、最初とても不安でした。「10分遅れても来なかった場合は電話を…」というような問い合わせの電話番号はバウチャーに記載がありましたが、英語のみ対応とあったため、英語が出来ない私達夫婦はどうすることもできず。また「迎えは青いＴシャツを着たスタッフまたはプラカードを持ったスタッフ」とありましたが、スタッフはどちらにも該当しておらず、参加者の名前を呼ぶでもなく立っているだけであったため非常に分かりづらかったです。プール自体はスライダーが充実しており、人も少なく待ち時間がなかったため満喫できました。大人でも充分楽しめます。ただ天候に恵まれず風がとても冷たく寒かったことと、流れるプールが整備中で使用できなかったことが残念でした。

I wasn't able to see any dolphins. I did see two sea turtles, but it was just a quick glimpse from inside the boat.

I forgot to bring motion sickness medication, but I happened to meet someone the day before who occasionally works at Dolphin University. When I mentioned this, they told me that some guides have it available, so I asked on the bus, but they said, "We don't provide it due to allergies and such." However, the person sitting behind us heard this and kindly shared their motion sickness medication with us, which was a lifesaver!!!

The boat really sways a lot, so it might be better to take motion sickness medication even just for peace of mind. I couldn't see any dolphins, the boat was rocking, and saltwater got in my eyes, which hurt for the rest of the first day.

The captain and the staff were doing their best to keep the mood up, and I was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and kayaking. I want to participate again someday for a chance to see dolphins.

イルカを見ることができませんでした。
ウミガメは2頭見ることができましたが、船内からちらっと見た感じでした。

酔い止めを忘れてしまったのですが、前日にイルカ大学でたまに働いているという方と偶然お会いして、そのことを伝えるとガイドによっては用意しているから聞いてみたらいいよ、と言われたので車内で聞いてみたところ「アレルギーなどあるので、提供していない」とのことでした。
しかし、それを聞いていた後ろの席の方が、私たちに酔い止めを分けてくださったので、助かりました！！！

船はすごく揺れますので、酔い止めは気持ち的なものでも飲んだ方が楽かもしれません。
イルカを見れず、船は揺れて、塩水が目に入ってその後1日目が痛かったです。

船長さん始めスタッフの方々はどうにか盛り上げようとしてくれていて、シュノーケリング、カヤックなどのアクティビティは楽しむことができました。
イルカを見るためにまたリベンジでいつか参加したいです。

A month and a half before this trip to Hawaii, I fractured my ankle... had surgery... and was hospitalized. Would I be able to go? But with a strong desire to meet the dolphins, I started rehabilitation after receiving permission to walk just nine days before departure. I managed to walk, but could I really swim with wild dolphins??? I had those worries, so I immediately consulted with the staff who came to pick me up before 6 AM. They kindly said, "Let's go together."

Actually, this is my third time participating in this tour, and I've become quite hooked, so I really didn't want to give up and worked hard on my rehabilitation. That one sentence in the morning made all my anxieties disappear. I would get to meet the dolphin teacher... so exciting!

By the time we arrived at the port after an hour on the bus, dawn was beginning to break. This is where the real adventure begins. The captain steered the boat south... Amazing!! A whale at this time of year! The size and power were breathtaking. I think you can’t truly understand it unless you see it in person.

Next up were the dolphins. I had seen them in the past three trips, but this time, the dolphin teacher swam towards us. It felt like they were trying to heal my injured foot. I couldn’t help but think that way. My foot was in bad shape, but this encounter with the dolphin was the best.

This is a feeling you can only understand by experiencing it. Wild dolphins, not in an aquarium! Incredible. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling, canoeing, and a full menu of activities. I am truly grateful for the kindness and support of the staff. Thank you very much. This became my most memorable moment of this trip to Hawaii.

今回のハワイ旅行の１か月半前に足首骨折…手術…入院行けるの？
から始まって、でもこのイルカに会いたい一心で、出発の９日前に歩く許可が出てからのリハビリ、頑張ってなんとか歩けるようになったものの、野生のイルカと泳ぐ？？？できるのかな？
そんな不安もありーので、早朝６時前のお迎えに来てくれたスタッフに、即相談しました。
快く「私と一緒に行きましょう」と言ってくださいました。
実は私、このツアー３回目の参加ですでにハマってるんですが、だから尚更諦めたくなくて、頑張ってリハビリやってきたんです。この朝の一言で、本当に不安がどっか行ってしまいました。
イルカ先生に会えるよ…wakuwaku
バスで１時間港に到着した頃、夜が明け始めてきました。
ここからが本番です。
船長の勘で船は南へ…
すごいです!!この時期に？くじらです!
大きさ迫力…感激です。これ実際に見ないとわからないと思います。
次はイルカの出番です。過去３回とも会えたんですが、今回のイルカ先生、私たちに向かって泳いで来てくれるのです。私の足悪いの癒してくれようとしてくれているようです。って勝手に思ってしまいました。
私の足は大変でしたが、今回のイルカとの出会いは、最高でした。
これも、実際体験しないとわからない感動です。
水族館ではない野生のイルカ！すごいです。
そのあと、シュノーケル、カヌーなど、メニューめいっぱい遊びました。
スタッフの優しさ、対応、本当に感謝です。ありがとうございました。
今回のハワイ旅行の１番の思い出になりました。

The facility is new and clean, and there are chickens and rabbits, making it a fun place for children to visit. I think it's reassuring that there are staff members who can speak Japanese. They were energetic, friendly, and kind from the morning.

I experienced the Adventure Tower. Although I have a fear of heights, I managed to clear the lower level while sweating with nervousness. I had to retire from the upper level, but my boyfriend took on the challenge! Just watching him made my legs shake, but it was fun!

From the top floor, you can experience a 50-foot (about 15 meters) free fall, but both of us had to retire. What a shame! However, I was initially hesitant to try the swing on the lower level, but once I did, it was a lot of fun! Next, I want to try the zip line!

施設は新しくて綺麗で、ニワトリやウサギもいて子供が行っても楽しめる場所でした。
スタッフも日本語が話せる人もいるので安心だと思います。朝から元気で楽しく優しく対応してもらいました。
アドベンチャータワーを体験しました。
高所恐怖症の私ですが、手に汗握りながら下の階はなんとかクリアー出来ました。さすがに上の階は私はリタイヤで彼氏だけが挑戦！見てるだけで足がガクガクなったけど楽しいかったです！
最上階からは50フィート(約15メートル)のフリーフォールが体験出来るのですが…２人共リタイア。残念！しかし下の階で出来るスイングは最初はなかなか踏み出せなかったけどやってみたら楽しいかったです！次はジップラインに挑戦してみたいです

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and entered the prestigious Dolphin University!!
The atmosphere in the car was so fun, and we arrived in no time!

On the way to the dolphin point by boat, I was nervous about whether we would see them, but that day we were able to see dozens of dolphins, which was truly moving!!
The dolphins really came close to us!

Snorkeling was also great; we got to see beautiful fish and even sea turtles up close, which made us very satisfied (^ - ^)/

Having fun on the boat was also enjoyable!
I want to participate again!!

Thank you very much.

ハネムーンで初ハワイで、名門イルカ大学に入りました！！
車内から、とても楽しい雰囲気で、あっという間に到着しました！

船でイルカのポイントまで行く途中、会えるかドキドキでしたが、この日は何十匹もイルカを見ることができ感動しました！！
ホントにイルカが寄ってきてくれました！

シューノーケルも綺麗な魚達や、ウミガメも間近でみる事ができ、大満足でした(^-^)/

船の上でタンズも楽しかったです！
また、参加したいです！！

ありがとうございました。

During the journey to the spot where you can see dolphins, we danced on the boat, and the time flew by. The guides were all cheerful and friendly, and their Japanese was excellent. You can purchase the photos and videos taken by the guides as an option, and they will put the data on a cute USB. We saw plenty of dolphins, as well as sea turtles and fish, and there were activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so I think it's a great deal with so much to enjoy beyond just snorkeling!

イルカが観れるスポットまでの移動中は船の上でダンスしたり、移動中もあっとゆうまです。
ガイドさんはみなさん陽気でいい人ばかりで、日本語もお上手です。
ガイドさんが撮ってくれる写真や動画をオプションで買え、かわいいUSBにデータを入れてくれます。
イルカもたくさん見れて、ホヌや、魚も見れ、カヤックやSUP滑り台など、シュノーケリング以外にも楽しめるので、かなりお得だと思います！

Due to the typhoon, I was worried about the high waves and whether we could go into the sea, but it was a good decision to enter the water and see the dolphins. We also got to see the honu, and it was the best tour ever.

台風の影響で波が高く、海に入れるか心配しましたが、好判断で海に入りイルカを見ることが出来ました。ホヌも観れたし、最高のツアーでした。

I had a great time. There were few people, so I could ride without waiting in line. However, since it was November and there was some wind, I think it would be better to wear a rash guard or something instead of just a swimsuit to avoid feeling cold and to enjoy playing more. Even when the weather is nice, it can feel a bit chilly due to the wind.

凄く楽しかったです。人も少なく並ばずに乗れました。ただ11月で風があったので、水着だけよりもラッシュガードとか着た方が寒さを感じず楽しく遊べると思います。天気が良くても風で少し寒く感じる時もあります。

I visited on a weekday in November. It takes just over 30 minutes by bus from the hotel. Since I arrived before opening time, I was able to enjoy being the first one in. There were Japanese staff at the park who provided a brief explanation before entry. On this day, the lazy river was under maintenance, so normally paid attractions were free.

There are large and small paid lockers available. You pay at the machine in front and use the locker corresponding to the displayed number. There are no keys; you unlock it with a four-digit PIN. I think the small one was $13 and the large one was $18. The small locker is extremely small, but if you squeeze, you can fit the luggage of two adults. Once you pay, you can open and close it as many times as you want.

It was a bit chilly due to the wind, but the sun was strong, so I played in my swimsuit and a cover-up. There were no crowds at all, and I was able to enjoy all the attractions without waiting in line. Since there were no lines, I conquered almost all the attractions in about an hour, leaving me with extra time.

Each attraction has its own float, but you have to carry it to the boarding area, which is a bit heavy and tiring.

Since the return bus was at 3:30 PM, I ended up with some free time and decided to take the city bus back before noon. I asked a Japanese staff member at the ticket counter for directions to the bus stop. (Since I was participating in a tour, I informed them that I wouldn't be using the return bus and provided my name.)

The bus stop is about a 15-minute walk away, but it might be a bit dangerous as you walk through a busy area. Additionally, there are several bus stops for different destinations, so it can be a bit challenging to find the one for Waikiki. I took the C bus. It took about an hour to get to Ala Moana.

11月の平日に利用しました。
ホテルからバスに乗り30分ちょっとです。
オープン時間前に到着するので、一番乗りで楽しめます。
パークには日本人のスタッフがいて入場前に簡単に説明があります。
この日は流れるプールがメンテナンス中のため、普段有料のアトラクションが無料になるとのことでした。

有料ロッカーは大と小があります。
手前の機械でお金を払い、表示された番号のロッカーを使います。
鍵はなく、四桁の暗証番号で開錠します。
小は13$、大は18$だったと思います。
小は物凄く小さいですが、押し込めば大人２人分の荷物はなんとか収まります。
一度お金を払えば開閉は何度でも出来ます。

風があり少し寒かったですが、日差しも強いので水着+上着で遊びました。
混雑も全くなく、どのアトラクションも並ばずに楽しめました。
並ばないため、一時間ほどでほとんどのアトラクションを制覇してしまい残り時間に困るほどでした。

アトラクションごとに専用の浮き輪があるのですが、それを乗り場まで運んでいかなければならず、少し重いので疲れます。

迎えのバスが15:30だったので、時間を持て余してしまい昼前に市バスで帰ることにしました。
チケット売り場の日本人の方にバス停を聞きました。（ツアーで参加しているので帰りのバスは利用しない旨、名前などを伝えました）

バス停は歩いて15分くらいのところにありますが、車通りの多い場所を歩くため少し危ないかもしれません。またバス停は行き先ごとにいくつかあるのでワイキキ行きのバス停を探すのも少し難しいです。Cというバスに乗りました。
アラモアナまで一時間程かかりました。

It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.

すごく良かったです。イルカにウミガメ、すごく素敵でした。
$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。

Meeting early in the morning was tough, and I was sleepy, but when I got to swim in the ocean and encountered a pod of dolphins, it was simply "moving"! There was even a baby dolphin about the size of a football!

At the snorkeling spot, a wild turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me. It was so cute.

Since it was November, it was a bit chilly...

早朝の集合で、眠たかったけど海に入りイルカの群れに出会えた時は、”感動”の一言！
アメフトボールぐらいのサイズの赤ちゃんイルカもいました！

シュノーケリングポイントでは、目の前に野生のカメが、空気を吸いに海面に。
とってもかわいかったです。

１１月だったので、少し寒かったかな。。。

I couldn't meet the dolphins. However, the first bus at 5 AM was filled with discussions about seasickness bracelets and purchasing photos, and in the end, I couldn't see them... There were activities, but they were things I could do elsewhere... I'm not sure if other tour companies saw dolphins at different locations that day, but I won't participate again next time.

イルカに会えませんでした。
しかし、最初のバス朝５時から船酔いブレスレッドや写真の購入等の商売の話で、
結局みれず・・・アクテビティはあったが、他でも出来る内容だったり、、、
他社のイルカウオッチとは違う場所で、他社業者ツアーがその日みれたかわかりませんが、
次回参加はしないです。

We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.

新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20～30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか～りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました！ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。

It was refreshing to visit an amusement park that is quite rare in Japan. It was a pity that the lazy river was under construction and we couldn't go in, but we still had a great time! Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were few visitors, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time, which was fantastic. However, I do think we shouldn't expect the same level of employee quality and service as in Japan.

日本にはなかなか無いアミューズメントパークで、新鮮でした。流れるプールは工事中で入れないのが残念でしたが、それでも十分楽しめました！平日だからなのか、入場者数も少なく、待ち時間なく遊べることができて、最高でした。ただ、やはり、従業員の質やサービスは日本ほどのものを求めてはいけないとは思います。

I participated with a friend. I was a bit anxious because the bus meeting point was hard to find, but it arrived a little later than scheduled, so that was good.

When we arrived at the site, there was an explanation in Japanese before we could enter, which made things go smoothly.

It happened to be a day when the lazy river was closed, but the paid surfboards were free, and many people were using them. We relaxed on the slides and in the wave pool the whole time. I thought it would be spacious, but it didn't feel that big, so I think we played on most of the attractions.

Personally, I found the pool more enjoyable than the sea since I didn't get covered in sand. We were allowed to bring our own water, so I thought we probably didn't need the all-you-can-drink soft drinks... The selection of soft drinks was also just soda and juices that tasted a bit strange.

友人と二人で参加しました。バスの集合場所がわかりづらく不安でしたが、予定よりすこし遅れてきちんときたのでよかったです。
現地につくと日本語で説明があってから中にはいれたのでスムーズにいきました。
たまたま流れるプールが使用できない日で、有料のサーフボードが無料になり、利用してる方も沢山いました。私たちはずっとスライダーや波のあるプールでのんびりしていました。広いのかなと思いきやそこまで広い感じでもなかったので、大体の遊具で遊んだかなぁというところです。
個人的には海よりプールのほうが砂まみれにもならず楽しかったです。
飲み物も水は持ち込み可だったので、ソフトドリンク飲み放題はつけなくてもよかったかなぁ……と思いました。ソフトドリンクのラインナップも炭酸とよくわからない味がしたジュースでした。

At first, we couldn't find them, and I was worried we might not see any dolphins. However, once we confirmed the presence of a pod, it was amazing to encounter so many dolphins. They swam alongside the boat and even jumped out of the water, which was just fantastic.

最初見つからず、ダメなのか的からのイルカの群れの確認連絡、そして沢山のイルカ達に出逢い船に上がってからの並走をしてくれたり、飛んでくれたり最高でした。

Bringing in drinks and food is not allowed, but if you hide them deep in your bag, you won't get caught. It wasn't as cold as I expected, but it seemed a bit difficult to keep my kids' spirits up. The wind was strong, so it was tough when the sunlight weakened. I went with my 9-year-old and 5-year-old sons, but my younger son was too short to ride most of the slides. The slides in the children's pool were fun, but some were quite deep, so life jackets are a must. I felt it was smaller than I expected, but my older son was able to experience everything during our time there. We could ride as many times as we wanted without much waiting. Don't expect much from the food.

飲料や食べ物の持込みは不可ですが、カバンの奥底に入れていたらバレませんでした。思っていたより寒くなかったですが子供にはちょっとテンション上げるのが難しそうでした。風が強かったので、陽射しが弱まると辛かったです。９歳、５歳の息子と行きましたが、次男は身長が足りずほとんどのスライダーに乗れませんでした。子供用のプールのスライダーは滑っていましたが、一部かなり深いのでライフジャケットは必須です。思っていたより狭いと感じましたが、時間いっぱい遊んで長男はすべて体験できました。ほぼ並ぶことなく何回でも乗れました。食事は期待しない方がいいレベルです。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first visit to Wet 'n' Wild, where I was able to experience the good side of the freedom of America. I went with my 5-year-old son to activities that had height restrictions, but he clearly didn't meet the height requirement... (^_^;) However, maybe it was the relaxed attitude of America? Or was it because I was friendly and engaged with the staff? We were able to participate without any issues! I think my child was very satisfied as he could join in on most of the activities! It's definitely a spot that adults can enjoy as well (^ - ^)/ I would love to visit again!

ハワイ二回目で初めて訪れたウエットワイルドでしたが良い意味で自由の国アメリカを体験出来ました。
身長制限のあるアクティビティに5歳になる息子と行ったのですが、明らかに身長足りてない、、、(^_^;)
しかし、そこはアメリカのユルさなのか？
ノリノリで話しかけたのが良かったのか?
難なく参加させてもらえました！
子供もほとんどのアクティビティに参加出来て大満足だったと思います！
大人も楽しめるおすすめのスポットですね(^-^)/
また訪れたいと思います！

We searched for dolphins from the boat and when we found them, we jumped into the sea. There were times when I could only see them at the surface because they were swimming slowly, but the staff prioritized those who hadn't seen them yet and let us into the water, so I was able to see them safely. The sea was beautiful, and I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat, making it a very satisfying tour!

船からイルカを探し、イルカを見つけては海の中へ。泳ぐのが遅くて水面でしかみれなかったときもありましたが、係りの方が見れてない人優先で海に入れてくれたので無事に見ることができました。
海がキレイだったので船の上からはウミガメも見ることができとても満足なツアーでした！

A trip to Hawaii with a friend. I was recommended Wet 'n' Wild by a senior colleague at work. I checked for tours on Veltra and quickly made a reservation. On the day of the tour, a local person came to pick us up at our nearby hotel, and after about an hour on the bus, we arrived at the venue. The weather was great, perfect for a day at the pool! There were so many slides, and my friend and I had a blast; time flew by! The staff were very courteous, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable day! I would love to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii!

友人と2人で ハワイ旅行。 職場の先輩からオススメされたのが ウエットアンドウォールドでした。
ベルトラ にてツアーがあることを確認し、早速申し込みました。 当日は現地の方が近くのホテルまでお迎えに来てくれて、バスに揺られること約1時間で会場へ到着。天候にも恵まれ、プール日和でした！スライダーがたくさんあって 友人と2人で大はしゃぎをしていたらあっという間に時間は過ぎてしまいました！！ スタッフの方の対応も丁寧で、とても楽しく過ごせた1日となりました！！またハワイに行く際には遊びに行きたいと思います！

I couldn't be active due to seasickness, but when I started to feel a little better, I swam with dolphins! It was simply the best! The sight of so many dolphins swimming was truly breathtaking! It's something I've only seen on TV. Additionally, there were many sea turtles that day! It's a regret that I couldn't swim with the sea turtles because my seasickness worsened. The staff were friendly and fun, making it an enjoyable experience, aside from the seasickness. Watching the sunrise at the beginning of the tour was also amazing! I would love to join this tour again!

船酔いでアクティブにできなかったですが、船酔いの具合がちょっと調子が良くなった時にイルカと泳ぎました！
最高の一言です！！
たくさんのイルカが泳いでる姿はまさに圧巻！
テレビでしか見た事ない光景です。
それにこの日はウミガメさん達もたくさんいました！
船酔い悪化してウミガメさんと泳ぐ事ができなかったのが心残りです。
スタッフさん達も気さくで楽しい方々で満喫できました。船酔い以外は。笑
ツアー序盤の朝日を見るのも最高でした！
また参加したいツアーです！

We had so much fun!!! The views were phenomenal from up above!!!! Totally worth it!! Our pilot was amazingly awesome!! He hooked us up with extra 20 mins!!!

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close! It was so moving!! The flow of the tour is generally set, but it's not strict, so they were flexible enough to allow us to dive twice to see the dolphins, and even prioritized seeing the sea turtles over paddle boarding when time was running out. I was very satisfied! Also, the people on the boat were very friendly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while heading to our destination. However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must!!

イルカもウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来ました！
感動！！
ツアーの流れは大まかには決まっていますが、絶対ではないので、イルカを見るために2回潜ることが出来るようにしていただけたり、時間がなくなってもウミガメを見ることを優先して、パドルバードはしないなど、臨機応変に対応していただけるので、とても満足しました！
また、船に乗っている方達もとても気さくで、乗っている間も楽しみながら目的地まで行く事ができました。
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止めは必需品です！！

Thank you for taking care of us on the 11:00 AM departure course on November 1st. The thorough safety checks and explanations beforehand made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Although I'm not great at understanding English, the repeated explanations in both English and Japanese helped me understand well, and I feel like I learned something in English too, haha.

Traveling by boat takes some time, but during that time, the staff entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing to the music, which was very fulfilling. We were also blessed with good weather, and the staff, both men and women, were wonderful people. It was truly the best experience. Thank you! ☆

11/1の11時出港コースでお世話になりました。
安全確認など事前の説明が丁寧で安心して楽しめました。
私は英語の聞き取りも得意ではありませんが、英語の説明と日本語の説明を繰り返してもらえるので、
十分理解できますし、英語の勉強にもなった気がします笑
船での移動はある程度時間がかかりますが、その間、スタッフの皆さんがウクレレで歌を歌ったり、音楽に合わせてダンスを踊ったりと、とても充実していました。
天候にも恵まれましたし、スタッフの皆さんも男性女性ともに素敵な人達で、本当に最高でした。
ありがとうございました☆

My friend couldn't make it for personal reasons, so I participated alone! I was the only one attending solo; everyone else was with friends, couples, or spouses, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, once I got on the boat, I became engrossed in searching for dolphins, and when I was snorkeling, I focused on swimming, so it was fine! I also got to see hula dancing and enjoyed a delicious hamburger, which left me satisfied. Since I couldn't swim with the dolphins or turtles, I received a half-price ticket for the next time, so I definitely want to participate again!

友人が訳あってこれなくなり
1人で参加させていただきました！
1人での参加は私だけで他は友人どうし、カップル、夫婦などで
最初は不安でした。
けどいざ船に乗ればイルカ探しに夢中になりますし
シュノーケルしている時は泳ぎに集中するので
大丈夫でした！
フラダンスも見れて美味しいハンバーガーを食べて
満足でした。
イルカ、亀と泳ぐことができなかったので
次回の半額券も頂いたのでまた参加したいです！

I participated in a monitor tour!

Since I was staying at Hilton Village, the pickup was at 5:30 AM from the bus stop at Ilikai Hotel! I was a bit anxious because it was dark outside for such an early gathering, but there were many people at the meeting point, so I didn't need to worry. We took an hour-long bus ride to the location where the boat was. During that time, Julie shared a lot of information about Hawaii to keep us entertained! From dolphin ecology to the history of Oahu and recommended spots... it was definitely worth listening to! Julie was very passionate about her work, and it was clear she wanted us to have a great time. Even though it was our first meeting, she welcomed us warmly like a friend, which made it easy to feel comfortable.

The ocean in October is said to be very cold, and I initially planned not to rent a wetsuit, but it was the right decision to take Julie's recommendation! The ocean in October is really cold!! And within just five minutes of the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins…!! I never expected to meet them so quickly! I hurriedly jumped in, and while swimming with the unfamiliar fins, I heard the signal, "Look down!!" When I looked down, there were so many dolphins!! The dolphins swimming right below me came so close that I could almost reach out and touch them! I never thought I would see them up close like this, but I truly experienced what it feels like to swim with dolphins (*^^*).

I also enjoyed canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling rushed. The boat staff and the photographer were all very friendly!! They took lots of photos for us (*^^*). There are many dolphin tours available, but if you want to spend a fun day with everyone as a group, I definitely recommend enrolling in Dolphin University!

モニターツアーで参加させて頂きました！

ヒルトンビレッジに宿泊だったのでイリカイホテルのバス停朝5時半のピックアップでした！
朝早くの集合で外は真っ暗で不安でしたが、集合場所には沢山の人が集まっていてそんな心配は要りませんでした。
バスに乗ってから1時間かけてボートがある場所まで移動します。その間退屈しないようにジュリさんが沢山ハワイについてお話してくださいました！イルカの生態話やオアフ島の歴史にお勧めのスポットまで…この話だけでも聞く価値アリです！
ジュリさんはとても仕事熱が強く、私達を楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わりました。初めて会うのに、友達のような暖かい感じで迎えてくれたので、とても馴染みやすかったです。
10月の海はとても寒いらしく、ウェットスーツは借りないつもりでしたが、ジュリさんのお勧めで借りて正解でした！10月の海はとても寒いです！！
そしてボートを走らせ5分もしないうちにイルカの群れが…！！まさかこんなに早く出会えるなんて‼慌てて飛び込み、慣れないフィンを使って泳いでいると、『下ミテー！！』という合図が！！
真下をみると沢山のイルカが！！そして真下を泳いでいたイルカ達は手を伸ばせば届くくらいの近さまで来てくれました‼まさかここまで近くで見れるとは思っていませんでしたが、本当にイルカと一緒に泳ぐ気分を味わえました(*^^*)
カヌーやSUPも時間に急かされる事なくゆっくり楽しめました。
ボートのスタッフさん、カメラマンさん、皆さんとてもフレンドリーです‼
写真もどんどん撮ってくれました(*^^*)
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、皆と一団になって楽しい１日を過ごしたい方は是非イルカ大学の入学をお勧めします！

The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess? I encountered sea turtles both on the ocean floor and at the surface; it was my first experience. The staff were young and showed us songs and dances, and they also prepared water slides and kayaks, which was fun. Next time, I definitely want to see the dolphins!

一番見たかったイルカはいませんでした。残念ですが、致し方なし？かな？です。
ウミガメは海底と海面で遭遇、初体験でした。
ただスタッフの方々は若く歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ウォータースライダーやカヤック等も準備して頂き、楽しかったです。
次回は是非イルカと！
