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>

I was moved by the intensity. 迫力に感動しました。

Reviewed by: YUKA

There were hardly any Japanese tourists, and it was completely different from the hotel shows! It felt like a story, and by the end, I was overwhelmed by the intensity.

Seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's better to line up near the entrance after purchasing tickets. I didn't know this, so I ended up sitting towards the back, which was disappointing.

There are various events until sunset, but tips are required. The sunset was truly beautiful.

I didn't feel like having seconds for the meal. Depending on the seating, it may be buffet-style, which some elderly people might find challenging.

日本人観光客がほとんどいてなくて、ホテルのショーとは全然違いました! 物語りになっていて、最後は迫力に圧倒されました。

席は早いもの順に誘導されるので、チケット購入後、入り口付近に並んでおくほうがいいです。知らなかったので、後ろのほうになり、残念でした。
日が暮れるまでの間、いろんな催しがありますが、チップ必要です。
夕日は本当にきれいでした。
食事はおかわりしたいと思いませんでした。席によってはビュッフェ方式なので、高齢の方は抵抗あるかもしれません。

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!

Reviewed by: いおけん

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。

  • スライダーは4人で競争します。日本では考えられない小さな子も滑れます。

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.

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Absolutely sensational experience

Reviewed by: Trish Foxall

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.

The lockers are conveniently located near the rides. However, it was unclear what needed to be done before using the lockers. I was able to experience almost everything without much waiting, which was stress-free. The only clock in the park was broken, so it was difficult to know the time.

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(*^^*)

The children loved it. 子供達に大好評でした

Reviewed by: akko

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。
子供達にハワイで何が楽しかったか聞いてみると、1番最初にココだと話してます。

  • 到着したところ

  • 滑っているところ

  • 滑る前、頂上からの景色

  • 12月27日に行きましたが、各アトラクションともにさほど待ち時間はなかったです。

Wild Dolphin & Sea Turtle Snorkeling Cruise 野生のイルカ&ウミガメ シュノーケリング・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 華ちゃん

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。

Oahu ATV Adventure at Coral Crater Adventure Park in Kapolei - Ultimate Off-Road Trail Experience

This activity will get you dirty

Reviewed by: Sarah

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.

I encountered dolphins and whales!! イルカやクジラと出会えました!!

Reviewed by: あんぱん

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!

First time at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. 初めてのウエット&ワイルド ハワイ

Reviewed by: フォーウィン

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。

I was disappointed that I didn't see a single dolphin, let alone any while snorkeling. イルカとシュノーケルどころか一匹もみられずがっかり・・

Reviewed by: たんたん

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。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Perfect start for our Hawaiin vacation

Reviewed by: Nina

The entry “free” Mai Tai is ridiculously watered down, which is unfortunate as it serves as a poor harbinger of events to come for the evening. Given attendance of 1000 on Christmas Eve at at least $100 per seat, you’d think they could afford to spare a little cheap rum. Anyway, the rest of the event was very well done. Food was excellent. Drinks less so. Dancing and entertainment was superb. The difference in the various packages is difficult to discriminate from the website. Essentially the higher the price the more credit you get for drinks and you get closer to the stage. We chose the orchid package, which is a reasonable compromise and I would recommend this.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Good show - cheap food - high price

Reviewed by: Mike

The best thing about this luau was the show. The fire dancing was really cool and the activities beforehand were pretty nice. It felt like the drinks had next to zero alcohol in them. The buffet was kind of done on the cheap and with over 1000 people there, it was kind of crowded. It was well organised and the staff were really friendly. If you don’t like things aimed at tourists, you should run a mile. It felt a bit like Disney goes to do a luau. Having said that, we enjoyed the evening, even if it did feel a bit like ‘organised fun’ with the forced getting to know you activities on the bus ride there. I was left wondering if it was really value for the money we paid. At $80 it was kind of expensive for watered down pina coladas and lomi lomi salmon that was mostly just chopped tomatoes with the tiniest little pieces of salmon in it. Also, I’ve seen the exact same things in the gift shop in other stores for much cheaper. All in all, the show was good but it felt like a bit of a tourist trap.

Reviewed by: ちーこー

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。

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

Three generations can enjoy it thoroughly all day long! 三世代、一日中ガッツリ 楽しめるよ!

Reviewed by: よっしー

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。

Cabana カバナ

Reviewed by: 権之介

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 was able to meet a dolphin! イルカに逢えました!

Reviewed by: ヒナコ

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!

The guide was terrible!! ガイドが最悪!!

Reviewed by: くくる

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。

My husband is satisfied, but I am not. 主人は満足、私は不満足

Reviewed by: さっちん

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.

Mahalo!!
Dolphin Office

Aloha!! さっちん様

この度は名門イルカ大学のツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
日本では中々経験できない体験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
ハワイとはいえ日によっては今の時期は風が強い日もございますので、次回は是非温かい夏の時期にお越し下さい。
ハワイ島にはオアフ島にはないマンタツアーなどもございますので、またのご参加を心待ちにしております。

Mahalo!!

It became a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出になりました

Reviewed by: sai

The pickup time was slightly off, but other than that, I was very satisfied. There were no other Japanese tourists on our bus, and the staff couldn't speak Japanese, but everyone was kind and communicated well. I really felt like I was in a foreign country, and the Hawaiian show and the activities leading up to it were interesting, leaving my whole family smiling on the way back.

Inside, the welcome drink, water, and coffee were free, but everything else was charged. There was a photo opportunity with a hula dancer upon entry, and we received a QR code for free. Later, three printed photos came out, but they cost $20.

送迎時間が少しずれましたが、それ以外は大満足でした。私たちのバスには他に日本人観光客はおらず、スタッフの方も日本語が話せませんが、皆さん優しくコミュニケーションをとって下さりました。異国にいるなと実感でき、ハワイショーやそれまでのアクティビティも面白く、家族みんな笑顔で帰ってきました。


中では、ウェルカムドリンク、水やコーヒー類はフリードリンクでしたが他は有料です。
入場の際にフラダンサーとの記念撮影があり、QRコードは無料で頂けました。後で3枚現像された写真が出てきますが、$20でした。

You cannot swim with dolphins. ※イルカと一緒には泳げません

Reviewed by: じゃっぷ

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書?に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある"海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー!"と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが"Look down!!"と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

It was just ok

Reviewed by: The Johnson’s

It was just ok. The bus was late picking us up and we were late getting there. Traffic from Waikiki to the luau was awful. (I do realize that they can’t control the traffic but sitting in over an hour of traffic doesn’t put you in the best of moods. This luau is actually a good ways away from Waikiki.)

Upon arrival we were given our giftcards and had our pictures taken. Nothing was explained to us. We had to wander around and find things on our own. It is not very big. Looking at the pictures and descriptions it seems as if the grounds are big and there is lots to do. That’s not the case at all. Very small area and not much to do before the show at all. Also, not everyone can participate in the activities. They pre select only a handful of people.

As we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, we went with the top of the line package. I do not recommend it at all! The food that was brought to us was all pre selected. The people that went through the buffet were served very quickly (before us) and were able to get exactly what they wanted and as much of it as they wanted. We had a plate full of whatever and most of it I didn’t even want!

The show was ok, but honestly we experienced better at the bars in Waikiki.

We were very sorry we spent all that money on this luau.
