The facility was not as spacious as I had expected, and I didn't enjoy it much for the price.
First, the person who came to pick us up seemed to have a limited understanding of the booking details. We had requested a cabana as an option, but when we asked for confirmation, they told us to inquire on-site. Additionally, we weren't given detailed explanations; before getting on the bus, we were given colored tape for our wrists according to our course. However, our booked course was not mentioned, and the tape we received was a standard one that didn't indicate anything. Since we had unlimited soft drinks, we found it strange, but before entering the facility, we received a cabana reservation ticket from someone who seemed to be from the tour company, so we thought it would be fine to enter.
When lunchtime came, I looked for any signs indicating unlimited drinks but couldn't find any, and I couldn't locate anyone from the tour company. Eventually, about an hour before our departure, I found someone who seemed to be from the tour company and confirmed that we were on a course that didn't include anything. When I showed them a copy of the booking form, they finally acknowledged it was the company's mistake and changed the tape to a different color. However, even after they made it unlimited drinks, there was hardly any time left to enjoy it.
I wonder if there are people from the tour company stationed within the facility, and if so, where they are. I would like clearer signage. Also, it was difficult to distinguish between those who were simply working at the pool and those who were from the tour company; they all looked quite similar.
Considering all of this, it was quite an expensive tour. I don't think I will go again.
施設は思っていたより広くなく、料金の割にあまり楽しめなかった。
まず、お迎えに来た方が、申し込み内容をあまり理解していないようでした。
私たちは、カバナをオプションで申し込んでいたので、確認をしたがわからないので、
現地で聞いてくれと。また、詳しいことは説明されず、バスに乗る前にコーズごとに色分けされたテープを腕にまかれます。内容はバズの仲でコースごとに色分けの説明がテープでながれますが、私たちの申し込んだコースが案内されず、巻かれたテープは何もつかないスタンダードのものでした。私たちは、ソフトドリンク飲み放題でしたので変だなと思っておりましたが、施設に入場する前に、スアー会社らしき人からカバナの予約チケットをいただけたのでまずは良いかと、入場しました。
お昼になり、飲み放題の表示等がないか探したが見つからず、がツアー会社のひとも見当たらず結局帰る時間の1時間位前にツアー会社らしき人をみつけ確認したら、何もつかないコースになっているといわれ、申し込み用紙のコピーを見せて初めて会社のミスですとテープを別の色に巻き直してくれました。帰るマジかで飲み放題にしてもらってもほとんど飲む時間がありませんでした。
施設の仲に、ツアー会社の人が常駐しているのか、またいるのならどこに居るのか。表示を
きちんとしてほしです。また、単なるプールで働いている人なのか、ツアー会社のひとなのか
全く見分けがつかず、おぼしき人ばかりでした。
この事を含め、かなり高いツアーだったと。二回目はないとおもいます。

I made a last-minute reservation upon arriving in Hawaii, but the response was quick, and I was able to participate smoothly! The pick-up was also guided very politely, which was great. I joined the plan with unlimited soft drinks, and since it was quite hot, I was glad I chose that option. The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and there were attractions that you can't easily experience in Japan.

We had Bob take us out to the west coast for the day, he was super knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii and provided a great cultural insight Into the lifestyle of the people.
We visited a magnificent cave, and several picturesque locations, followed up with a snorkel that was really appropriate to our skill level (intermediate).
He took plenty of pictures for us, and it was good to know that the tour went ahead regardless of numbers.

I arranged for entrance tickets and cabana rental.
I drove to the location with a rental car.
The sunlight in July was strong, so having a cabana was great. There were several types of pools, suitable for everyone from babies to adults.
Outside food is not allowed, so I bought a pizza on-site. It costs about $25 for one, but it's large enough to share among several people.

The pickup bus did not arrive even after 10 minutes, and just as I was inquiring by phone, it finally showed up. It was a larger bus than I expected, similar to a sightseeing bus. There was a sign in front, but it was a bit hard to read. Since the phone support was in English, those who only speak Japanese might feel a little worried if the bus doesn't arrive.
We arrived at 10:30, right when it opened. Since we had children and grandparents with us, we rented a cabana, which was very nice. The staff for lunch helped us purchase food, so we could eat without waiting in line, while the grandparents enjoyed watching their grandchildren. It’s a bit pricey, but I recommend the cabana for those with small babies or elderly family members.
My 5-year-old daughter played in the kids' area, while my 3rd-grade son was riding the slides non-stop. It was crowded on Saturday, but we waited about 30 to 40 minutes in line for the Ohana Highway in the morning (I think we lined up during the busiest time). The slide had a wait time of about 3 to 5 minutes. If possible, those riding the slides should wear non-slip sandals (water shoes). When you ride the slide, you have to take off your sandals while waiting, and the ground gets very hot on your feet. Those wearing water shoes were able to ride without taking them off.

I participated in a monitor tour in July 2017, and to sum it up, it was definitely the right choice! The photos are small since they were taken from outside, but I actually got to dive and swim with dolphins, and I also encountered stingrays! The sea turtles were swimming slowly, so I got to play alongside them (゚ω゚). This is something you can't do on your own, so I think that's the charm of the tour.
However, since you don't go out too far, if you're mainly thinking about coral and colorful fish, you might be a little disappointed. Also, depending on the weather, the visibility can sometimes be low. It seemed particularly beautiful on the day I went, but since this is nature, there's not much you can do about it.
The staff operating the tour were all very kind, and I truly believe that even those who are anxious about swimming can have a great time! I think this is a recommended activity for anyone considering a marine tour.
2017年の7月にモニターツアーとして参加しましが、結論から言うと大正解でした!
写真は外からなので小さいですが、実際に潜ってイルカと一緒に泳げましたし、エイにも会えました
!ウミガメはゆっくり泳いでたので、隣で一緒に遊泳しました(゚ω゚)これは個人でできることではないので、ツアーの魅力かと思います
ただ、あまり沖に出ないので、サンゴとかカラフルなお魚をメインに考えてると、少しがっかりかもしれません。また、天気によっては透明度が低い時もあるみたいです。本日は特に綺麗だったみたいですが、こればかりは自然が相手なので仕方ないですけどね
当日大学を運営しているスタッフの方も親切な方ばかりで、泳ぎに不安のある方も本当に楽しめると思います!
マリンツアーを迷っている方にはオススメのアティビティだと思います

I challenged myself to swim with wild dolphins, but due to the cloudy weather, I only saw one far away. It was murky and hard to see, but I was glad to have encountered it. I did see a pod, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see them up close. I'm glad I had the unique experience of eating hamburgers and dancing.
野生のイルカと泳げるというので挑戦しましたが、曇りというのもあり一匹だけ遠くに見えました。濁っていてわかりにくかったですが、会えてよかったです。群れには会えたのですが近くで見れなかったのは残念でした。ハンバーガーを食べたり踊ったりなかなか出来ない体験が出来て良かったです。

In a word, it was an unforgettable time like a dream. The staff were all very service-oriented! With their rich experience, we encountered a pod of dolphins shortly after setting sail. That day, we were lucky enough to observe two pods of dolphins as we splashed down twice. The dolphins swam around us for a long time, allowing us to take beautiful photos with our personal waterproof cameras.
There was also plenty of time to enjoy activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, making it a thoroughly enjoyable tour. The dedicated photographer not only took pictures but also kept the laughter going during the boat ride thanks to him. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again and see sea turtles up close.
ひと言でいうと、夢のような忘れられない時間でした。
スタッフさんみんなサービス精神旺盛!経験も豊富なので、出航して割とすぐにイルカの群れに出逢えました。この日は運良く2回着水して2群れのイルカを観察することができました。イルカもまた私たちの周辺を長い時間行ったり来たりしてくれたため、個人の防水カメラでもキレイに写真が撮れました。
その後カヤックやスタンドアップパドルなどのアクティビティを楽しむ時間もたっぷりあって、十二分に楽しめるツアーでした。
専属のカメラマンは写真を撮ってくれるだけでなく、行き帰りの船内は彼のおかげで笑い声は絶える事がありませんでした。
また今度ハワイに行く機会があったら、再度参加してウミガメも是非間近で見てみたいと思います。

I signed up for this tour because I love dolphins.
We stopped the boat in an area where dolphins are often seen, and when I entered the water and followed the instructor, there were dolphins right below my feet!!
It felt more like seeing dolphins in the same ocean (the same space) from a distance rather than swimming with them. For someone like me who wanted to swim together, it was a bit unsatisfying.
However, with short fins and simple life jackets provided, I think this tour can be enjoyed even by those who are anxious about swimming or lack physical strength.
On the boat, the co-captain was very engaging, which made the experience enjoyable. It was also clear that the other staff members were trying to entertain the guests, which was great.
Thank you very much.
大好きなイルカと泳げるとのことでこのツアーに申し込みました。

I booked a plan with pick-up service. The tour bus was delayed, and we arrived about 30 minutes late, but we were able to extend our return time a bit, allowing us to fully enjoy our day.
Food and drinks are not allowed inside the park, so there was a baggage check before entry. Once we arrived, we headed straight to the lockers. The lockers are paid (small size: about 1,500 yen). They were a bit tight, just enough to fit two backpacks, but since we could access them freely throughout the day, they were quite convenient.
As for the large pools, there is the only wave pool in Hawaii and a 260-meter lazy river. The wave pool does not have waves at all times, so you need to be mindful of the timing (laughs). The lazy river has a depth of 90 cm, making it safe for small children to enjoy. It might be a bit lacking for adults.
The slides that adults can enjoy were very satisfying. The most fun one was the Tornado. It was a unique slide where you slide down from a height of about 15 meters into a 40-meter giant tornado. Another favorite was the Volcano Express. It’s an exhilarating slide where you slide down on your stomach through a thrilling lava slide filled with curves. Since you go down headfirst, it’s quite intense. You can also race, which adds to the fun.
There was hardly any wait time for any of the slides, so we were able to slide multiple times and fully enjoy our time. The plan also included unlimited drinks, so we took breaks to enjoy Pepsi and Tropicana. For lunch, I had a set of a hamburger and fries for about 1,200 yen.
We were blessed with great weather and had a very enjoyable day.
送迎付きのプランで予約しました。ツアーバスの出発が遅れてしまい、到着も30分ぐらい遅れましたが、帰りの時間も少し遅らせてもらえ、十分遊びつくすことができました。
パーク内には飲食物持ち込み不可なので、入場前に荷物検査がありました。着いたらまずロッカーへ。ロッカーは有料(小サイズ:約1,500円)。リュックサック2個がギリギリ入るかどうかという狭さでしたが、一日中出し入れ自由なので使い勝手は良かったです。
大きなプールとしては、ハワイ唯一という波の出るプールと全長260mの流れるプールがありました。波の出るプールは波が出ていない時間帯もあるのでタイミングに気をつける必要があります(笑)流れるプールは水深が90cmなので、小さなお子様も安心して楽しめます。大人にはちょっと物足りないかも。
大人でも楽しめるスライダーはとても充実していました。一番おもしろかったのはトルネードです。約15mの高さから40mの巨大な竜巻の中を滑り降りるユニークなスライドでした。もうひとつのお気に入りは、ボルケーノ・エクスプレスでした。カーブとスリルが満点の溶岩スライドをうつ伏せになって滑り降りる絶叫スライド。頭から滑り降りるので迫力満点です。競争もできるので楽しいですよ。
どのスライダーも待ち時間はほとんどなく、何度も滑ることができたので、時間内に十分満喫することができました。飲み放題もついたプランだったので、途中でペプシとかトロピカーナを飲んで休憩してました。お昼は、ハンバーガーとポテトのセットで約1,200円。
天気にも恵まれとても楽しい一日でした。

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!
The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.
By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...
初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか?日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本(これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利)と、乾いたビーチタオル(なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う)があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

In the sea with the best transparency, I was able to encounter a pod of nearly 150 dolphins. The dolphins didn't just swim past us quickly; they circled around us multiple times.
They swam so close that I could clearly see their eyes, rather than just appearing small in the distance. On the contrary, I was filled with surprise and emotion, wondering if it was really okay for them to come so close.
The staff also provided strict instructions for safety, but at the same time, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, allowing us to have a truly enjoyable time.

I had done dolphin watching before, but I had never swum with them, so I decided to participate. The dolphins were only there for a moment, but I was close enough to touch a sea turtle! It was so moving! I also tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and even though I was wobbling, I managed to stand up and ended up playing until the very end while other groups returned to the boat. The energetic staff and photographer made the time fly by. When I asked people who have been to Hawaii, they mentioned that this experience is quite famous? I heard that it can be hard to make a reservation... I think I understand why it's so popular!

I was moved to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and the cheerful crew made the experience enjoyable on board! I was very grateful that they also took care of my 4-year-old daughter, who was scared of the ocean and stayed on the boat, and she had a great time too!
イルカの群れにも海亀にも会えて感動した他、陽気なクルーの皆様が盛り上げて楽しませてくれたので船上でも楽しく過ごせました!海を怖がり船に残った4歳の娘の面倒も見て頂けてとてもありがたかったし娘も楽しめました!

From our accommodation in Kapolei, it took about five minutes by car using the highway. On the mountain side, we could see a large antenna along with a gigantic water slide. We arrived almost right when it opened, so there was plenty of space in the parking lot and rental coin lockers, but guests who came in the afternoon were waiting for available lockers. Once we stepped inside, it was a vast pool theme park! There were lazy rivers, wave pools, various sizes of water slides, and even a pool for practicing wakeboarding. Although we didn't go this time, there were also many children's pools in the back, making it a facility where people of all ages could play all day long. Of course, since it’s surrounded by the ocean, I initially wondered why we would go to a pool, but after visiting, I thought it was definitely worth it for a facility of this scale.
宿泊先のカポレイから車でハイウェイを使って約5分。山側に大きなアンテナと共に巨大なウォータースライダーが見えてきます。わたし達が行ったのはオープンとほぼ同時でしたので、駐車場もレンタルコインロッカーも余裕がありましたが、昼過ぎに来たお客さんはロッカーの空き待ちしていました。いざ中へ一歩足を踏み入れるとそこは広大なプールのテーマパーク!流れるプールや波の出るプール、大小様々なウォータースライダーやウェイクボード練習用のプールまで。今回は行っていませんが、奥には子供用のプールもたくさんあり、世代や年齢層に関係なく1日中遊べる施設でした。もちろん周りは海なので、わざわざプールに?と最初は思っていたのですが、行ってみてこの規模の施設なら充分行く価値アリだと思いました。

I'll start with the positive.
The crew is young and enthusiastic. Everyone had smiles and was helpful with the gear.
This is a great excursion for tourists and beginner snorkelers. Great vivews of the Eastern part of the island and a pleasant swim with sea life. The crew teaches everyone how to use the equipment and will help people in the water. They spend about 20 minutes at each site so, for experienced snorkelers, it can be a little dull.
The hotel pickup was on time and the driver was good. The van is new and the ride was smooth.
You will be visiting with Spinner Dolphins. They are small dolphin and swim in pods of 30. The captain knows their favorite spots and will make sure you get to swim with them. By law, you will need to be wearing a life jacket to do this part of the swim. We got to see two pods. It was delightful. This tour company was knowledgeable about dolphins and is conerned with their safety.
We stopped at two more snorkeling locations. The fist stop was a small cove and the second had turtles.
The lunch at the Spinner cafe was good. I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty and well prepared. The menu is small but the portions are big. The pancakes looked really good.
The reason for my 3 stars is not the quality of the company but an incident I had. The crew should be better trained in basic fist aid. I ended up treating myself with the supplies I keep in my bag. After asking if I was okay, no one helped or checked on my for the rest of the trip.
I would recommend this for people visiting Ohau and beginner snorkelers.
Warm Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We are sorry to hear about your incident.

I visited for the first time with my 6-year-old daughter (125 cm). While it might seem odd to go to a pool in Hawaii, I think it's a safe place where kids can play to their heart's content. It might also be a good option on days when the weather is bad and beach activities are not ideal! There are pools for small children, a lazy river, and a wave pool. If you're over 122 cm, the whole family can enjoy the big slide, which is thrilling, and my daughter tried it multiple times. The large slide for five people is something that even moms who are scared might enjoy together with their families. Please note that bringing in floaties and drinks is prohibited; they will be confiscated at the entrance. However, floaties are available for rent inside. There are also lockers available. I thought it might be easier and more economical to go with a tour. By the way, we opted for a tour that included transportation and admission fees, and we purchased lunch inside on our own.
6歳(125cm)の娘を連れて初めて訪れました。ハワイに来てプールなんてと思いますが、安心して子供たちが思いっきり遊べる場所かと思います。お天気の悪い日などで、海遊びがちょっとという日にも良いかもしれません!小さなお子様用のプール、流れるプール、波の出るプール、身長122cm以上あれば家族で大きなスライダーを楽しむこともでき、ドキドキしますが、娘は何度も挑戦していました。特に5人乗りの大きなスライダーは怖いのが苦手なお母さんたちも一緒に、ご家族で楽しめるのでは無いでしょうか^^浮き輪や飲み物などは持ち込みが禁止。受付で入場時没収されてしまいます。中で浮き輪も貸し出しがあります。中にはロッカーも有ります。ツアーで行った方が楽ですし、お得なのかなぁと思いました。ちなみに私たちは送迎+入場料だけのツアーでランチは自分たちで中で購入しました。

The facility itself is fun. There are a variety of attractions that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. However, the BBQ lunch buffet was terrible. It was buffet-style, and while I think it was cooked just before serving, I was expecting hot meat that I could grill myself, but that wasn't the case. The dining area was dimly lit and not a place where you would want to enjoy a leisurely meal. Above all, the faces of the other tour guests were gloomy. I wonder if everyone was disappointed. I think it would be better to eat at a local place within the park. The shuttle bus was comfortable, but it leaves early, so it's not suitable for those who want to stay longer. I had fun, but it turned out to be a somewhat disappointing tour.
この施設自体は楽しいです。子供から大人まで楽しめる様に多彩なアトラクションがあります。
ですがBBQランチ食べ放題が酷いです。びュッフェスタイルで、直前に調理したのではあると思うのですが、自分で焼くアツアツなお肉を期待していたのに、そうではありません。
食べる場所も薄暗く、ゆっくり食事したいと思える場所ではない。なにより同行した他のツアー客の顔も暗い。皆期待はずれだったのかな。
食事は現地、園内で食べたほうが良いと思いました。
送迎のバスは落ち着けましたが、帰りが早いので長く滞在したい人には向きません。
楽しめましたが、色々と残念なツアーになりました。

I'm glad I was able to go since I had been wanting to visit Hawaii for a long time after researching it online before my trip.
There are so many slides of various types, and while most are thrilling, there are also plenty of pools where small children can play. I think it's a place where everyone can enjoy themselves, from kids to adults, friends, couples, and families! It had been a while since my whole family could have fun together, so it was great to experience that again (laughs). By the way, I rode on every slide I could (laughs).
It wasn't as crowded as I expected, so I was able to enjoy all the slides without much waiting, which was nice! Also, there were free drinks available, so we could drink as much as we wanted!
I had a really great time!
実際にハワイに行く前からネットで調べてて、ずっと行きたいと思っていたので行けてよかったです。
とにかくスライダーだらけでいろんな種類があり基本的には絶叫ですが、小さい子供が遊べるようなプールもたくさんあって、子供から大人まで、友達やカップル、そして家族でも楽しめると思います!
なかなか家族みんなではしゃいだりとかはなかったので久々にできてよかったです(笑)私はちなみに片っ端から乗りまくりでした(笑)
思ったより混んでなく、どのスライダーもスルスル乗れたので良かったです!また、フリードリンクも付いていて、飲み放題でした!
すごく楽しかったです!

This time, we headed to Wet'n'Wild by rental car and had a plan to check in at the counter. We presented our voucher at the reception, went through a luggage check, and immediately received wristbands for free drinks before being allowed inside. The park felt just right—not too big and not too small. It was a pool filled with slides, just as shown in the pictures, so the kids, including my 13-year-old, seemed to have a great time. Since we didn't have the energy to climb the hills multiple times, the parents took a break on the summer beds by the wave pool. At the food stand, there were several types of drinks available for free.
今回は、レンタカーでWet'n'Wildに向かい、カウンターで受付するプランでした。受付でvoucherを提示し、荷物チェックをしてから、直ぐにフリードリンク用のリストバンドを受け取り中へ通されました。園内は広すぎ狭すぎずといった感じ。写真通り スライダーだらけのプールなので、13才を含む子供達は楽しんでいたようです。何度も坂を上る元気はないので、親は波の出るプールのサマーベットで休憩。フードスタンドで、数種類のドリンクが無料でした。

Picked this tour to the north shore due to the choice of activities and since it had pick up from Waikiki. Mike was our guide and informative. Snorkelled at Shark's cove then headed to Waimea Bay for some snorkelling and beach time. Then chose to paddle boarding down the river near Haleiwa instead of kayaking. Ended the tour at Haleiwa. Good tour for the time spent up north and activities you could participate in and p/u provided.

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in this tour! Since it was overseas, I had some concerns, but they explained everything thoroughly and provided transportation, allowing us to experience it without any worries.
I was excited to see dolphins, and we were able to see a pod of wild dolphins not once, but twice! It was an emotional and joyful experience like nothing I had ever felt before! Swimming with turtles and fish was also a lot of fun!
On the boat, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers and snacks, and since we were a bit tired from traveling, we were able to take a nap at our own pace, which was great. They took many wonderful photos, and looking back at them brings back those joyful memories.
The tour staff created a very fun atmosphere, making it the best memory of our honeymoon. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a marine adventure!
新婚旅行でハワイに行き、このツアーに参加しました! 海外ということもあり不安な点もありましたが、丁寧に説明してくださり送迎もしてくださりなんの不安もなく体験することができました。
イルカに出会えるかドキドキでしたが、二回も野生のイルカの群れを見ることができました!今までに経験したことのない、感動と嬉しさでした!
また亀や魚と一緒に泳げたのも楽しかったです!
船の上では美味しいハンバーガーやお菓子をいただき、旅疲れが出ていた頃で昼寝もさせてもらい…自分のペースで楽しむことができ良かったです。
素敵な写真もたくさんの撮っていただき、後から見返すとまた楽しかった思い出が蘇ります♪
ツアーのスタッフの方たちもとても楽しい雰囲気を作ってくださり、ハネムーンの1番の思い出になりました。海での体験を考えている方にぜひオススメしたいです!
