I woke up early, swayed by the bus, and headed to the dock while rubbing my sleepy eyes. After offering a prayer to the sea, we set sail on our long-awaited dolphin search journey. Unfortunately, we couldn't see dolphins up close during the two dives, but we did see them jumping from the boat, and most importantly, we were lucky enough to witness the whale's courtship dance multiple times, which was satisfying! The instructors were very cheerful and really energized everyone, making it a lot of fun! I want to go again when I come back to Hawaii! I hope to see dolphins up close next time! ♫
朝早起きしてバスに揺られ、眠い目をこすりながら船着場へ向かいました。
海にお祈りを捧げて、念願のイルカ探しの旅へ出航です。
残念ながら二回のダイブではイルカを間近で見ることは出来なかったけれど、船からイルカが跳ねているところは見られたし、何より偶然にもクジラの求愛のダンスを何回も見られて満足です!
インストラクターの方々もとても明るくみんなを盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです!
またハワイに来たら行きたいです!次回はイルカを間近で見られるといいな♫

Since I attended on a weekday, it was very empty and I was able to slide down the water slide without waiting. Before entering the park, a staff member who spoke Japanese explained the day's announcements and precautions on the bus, making it easy for those who do not understand English to participate. That day, the lazy river was under maintenance, so I was able to use the paid attractions for free, which made me feel like I got a great deal. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy the pool.
平日に参加したのか、大変空いており待たずにウォータースライダーを滑ることが出来ました。
入園前に、バスの中で日本語が話せるスタッフがその日のお知らせや注意事項等説明してくれた為、英語がわからない方でも参加しやすいと思いました。
この日は、流れるプールがメンテナンス中で入ることが出来なかった為、有料のアトラクションを無料で使うことが出来、とても得した気分でした。
お天気にも恵まれ、プールを満喫することが出来ました。

I learned about this tour on TV and thought it looked "thrilling and fun," so I participated with my mother as one of the memories of our trip to Hawaii. We took a bus to the location, dropped off our luggage, and put on our harnesses and helmets—ready to go! I felt a bit nervous as I received the instructions, thinking it looked manageable when I saw it on TV. However, seeing the height in person was surprisingly daunting! I also learned that I would have to attach my own harness to move around, which required a sense of balance and made me feel quite scared at first.
But as I got used to it, it became more enjoyable, and I started to feel excited about what kind of thrills were next. Whenever I felt anxious, the staff on-site were quick to help, which was reassuring. There was a final stage that resembled bungee jumping, but I couldn't do that part. However, the staff connected my harness to the rope, and I managed to swing and land on the ground. It was scary, but it was a unique experience that I was really glad to have. I used muscles I don't usually use and ended up with muscle soreness, but that too is a great memory!
テレビでこのツアーがあることを知り、”スリルがあり楽しそう”と思って今回のハワイ旅の思い出の一つにと母と参加しました。
バスで現地まで行き、荷物を預けて、命綱とヘルメットを着用し準備完了!
何だか本格的だなーとドキドキしながら説明を受けました。
テレビで見ていた時は、これぐらいなら余裕だと思っていましたが、高さを見て意外と高くてびっくり!!また自分で命綱をかけて移動するのも知り、高さとバランス感覚が必要なので初めは正直、怖かったです。
でも、慣れてくると面白くなってきて、次はどんなスリルがあるのかとちょっとワクワクしていました。
不安な時は現地の係の人がすぐに助けてくれるので安心でした。
最後のステージでバンジージャンプのようなものがあったのですが、それだけはできませんでしたが、命綱を係の人がロープに繋いでくれて、スイングして地面に何とか着地しました。
怖かったですが、こういう時しかできないのでとってもいい経験になり、やって良かったと思いました。普段使わない筋肉をたくさん使い、筋肉痛でしたが、それもいい思い出です!

I went here last year and when I came back with family and friends this year, I knew we would only do a luau here! From the time you walk onto the property, you are treated like family. Learning about the culture is so intriguing for all ages. The service, food and entertainment were excellent. The place is beautifully kept and all the employees seem to be happy to be a part of this experience. If I come to this island again, I will always have this stop included in my plan!

After being picked up at the hotel, we traveled by van to the destination with dolphins. During the journey, they provided detailed explanations about the dolphins' ecology, which was very enjoyable. Even for those who are not good swimmers, they lend life jackets, so it's reassuring. We encountered many dolphins and were moved by the sight of them swimming gracefully.
ホテルでピックアップ後、イルカのいる目的地までバンで移動しました。到着までの間もイルカの生態など、詳しく説明してくださりとても楽しかったです。泳ぎが苦手な方でもライフジャケットを貸して頂けるので安心です。たくさんのイルカに遭遇し、優雅に泳いでいる姿を見ることが出来、感動しました。

Last year, I participated in this optional tour for the first time, and it was so much fun that I returned for Wet 'n' Wild for two consecutive years! There are many thrilling slides that you can't easily experience in Japan. Personally, I recommend the Tornado, where you slide down while spinning inside a giant tube. True to its name, the Tornado offers an exhilarating experience where you can't tell whether you're going forward or backward, and I highly encourage everyone to try it at least once.
Regarding the food there, we had a simple plan that included transportation and admission fees, so we bought our lunch ourselves. We shared a platter of chicken and fries for about $10 (though it could have been a bit more generous in portion size).
The only downside was that when I went, the lazy river was under construction, and the jacuzzi was also unavailable, which was disappointing. Other than that, I have no complaints, and I believe it would be an even more enjoyable time if the weather is nice. It was so much fun even for just two adults, so I recommend it for families with children as well. If I go to Hawaii again, this is one optional tour I would love to join again.
去年初めてこちらのオプショナルツアーに参加し、あまりの楽しさに2年連続のウエット&ワイルドです!!
日本ではなかなか体験できないようなスリリングなスライダーがたくさんあります。
個人的にオススメなのは、巨大な筒のような中を回転しながら滑り降りるトルネードです。
まさに名前の通り、前も後ろもわからないスリル満点なトルネードは、ぜひ一度体験していただきたいです。
向こうでのご飯について。
私たちは送迎+入場料のシンプルなプランでしたので、お昼は自分たちで購入しました。
だいたい10ドルくらいでチキンとポテトの盛り合わせ(ボリュームはもう少しあってもいいかなくらいです。)をシェアする感じでした。
一つだけマイナス点を言うと、私が行った時はちょうど流れるプールが工事中で、ジャグジーも使えなくなっていたことだけが残念でした。
それ以外は言うことなく、更に天気が良ければ最高に楽しい時間になることと思います。
大人二人でもこれだけ楽しかったので、お子さんのいるご家族もオススメです。
またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したい、オプショナルツアーのひとつです。

The scale is small, but there are plenty of thrilling slides that you won't find in Japan. I spent about four hours there, having a great time without even eating lunch, and I was very satisfied. Bringing food and drinks into the park is generally not allowed, and your bag will be checked upon entry. However, you can bring in unopened water bottles. The shuttle bus was on time, so I had no worries. It can get a bit chilly on the bus, so having warm clothing would have been nice. I rode the slides multiple times, and before I knew it, the time had flown by!
規模は小さいですが,日本にはないパンチのあるスライダーばかりです.滞在時間は4時間程度で,お昼ごはんを食べずに遊び倒して,十分満足でした.園内への飲食物の持ち込みは基本的にNGで,入場時にかばんの中を確認されます.例外として,未開封の水は持ち込み可能でした.送迎のバスも時間通りで不安もありませんでした.バスの中は少し冷えるので,防寒着があるとなおよかったと思います.何度もスライダーに乗って,あっという間に時間がすぎました!

I think there were too many people. I would have liked them to split us into two boats to distribute the number of people. Even when trying to watch the hula dance, it was hard to see because the staff were filming videos on their smartphones. Especially since I was alone, I often felt overlooked. I would have appreciated a bit more consideration.

I participated with my 5-year-old and 11-year-old children. I was worried if my son, who had just turned 5, would enjoy it, but with the strong encouragement from the staff and the fact that he loves water, we jumped into the sea when the dolphins appeared! I jumped in first, and my son happily followed the staff and was able to see the dolphins up close!
I thought my son might not be able to use the snorkeling mask, so I brought goggles for him to use instead. I think it's better for small children to have their own gear. My 11-year-old son is a good swimmer, but he wasn't used to fins, so he found them a bit difficult to use. Since it was mentioned that using fins is not mandatory, I think those who are not accustomed to them can skip using them.
On the day we participated, we were able to see dolphins right after leaving the port, which allowed us plenty of time for activities. The whole family enjoyed snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking together.
Since we had an early morning departure, we had breakfast early and boarded the bus, but we were allowed to eat on the bus! Of course, we took motion sickness medication beforehand. Some people felt seasick after entering the water, so be cautious. We borrowed wetsuits for the whole family, which I think are essential for the sea in November.
From start to finish, all the staff had very pleasant smiles and responses, and they communicated in Japanese, which made us feel secure participating. The photos were also wonderful. Thank you very much! ★

5歳になりたての息子が楽しめるか不安だったのですが、スタッフさんの心強い励ましと、もともと水が大好きということもあり、イルカが現れていざ海へ!と私が先に飛び込むと、スタッフさんと元気に飛び込んでしっかりイルカを見ることができました!
シュノーケルのマスクは使えないかな?と思い、ゴーグルを持参していたので5歳の息子はそれを使いました。小さいお子さんは自前のものがある方がいいかと思います。
11歳の息子は泳ぎが堪能ですが、フィンには慣れていなかったので使いにくいようでした。必ず使わなくてもよいとのことだったので、慣れない方は無理に使わなくてもいいかと思います。
参加した日は、港を出てすぐの場所でイルカに会うことができたため、アクティビティの時間がしっかりあり、シュノーケルもSUPもカヤックも家族みんなで楽しめました。
朝早い集合出発なので、これまた朝早くからご飯を食べてバスに乗り込んだのですが、バスの中で食事をしてもよいとのことでした!もちろん酔い止めは飲んで行きました。船もですが、海に入ってから波に酔われる方もいらしたので注意です。ウェットスーツは家族みんなで借りました。11月の海では必須だと思います。

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。

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.

イルカを見るためにまたリベンジでいつか参加したいです。
Aloha!! Minakuma,

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。
Aloha Coconut,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University.
I am very pleased to hear that you were still able to enjoy the occasion despite not being in perfect health. I’m sure Dr. Dolphin was also concerned about your well-being and came to cheer you on, wishing for your speedy recovery!
Please do come and visit Dr. Dolphin again. All of our staff and crew are looking forward to the day we can see you again!

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!!

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(^-^)/

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。

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。
