All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

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.

最高の透明度の海の中で
１５０頭近いイルカの群れに出会うことが出来ました。イルカの群れはさっと目の前を通り過ぎるのではなく、私たちのそばを何度も回遊してくれました。

ずっと遠くのほうに小さく見えるのではなく、はっきりと、イルカの瞳を確認できるほど、近くを泳いでくれました。
反対に、こんなに近づいてしまっていいのだろうかと思うほどで、驚きと感動でいっぱいになりました。

スタッフの方も、安全のために
厳しい言葉でしっかりと指示を出してくださいました。一方で船の上ではとても盛り上げてくださり、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

I had a great time. It was a good workout. There were so many activities that I never got bored. Also, the foreign staff member was really handsome and friendly. (laughs)

とっても楽しかったです。いい運動になりました(^^) 色んなのがあって飽きなかったです。あと、スタッフの外人の方がとってもイケメンで親切です。(笑)

One of the staff members was not Japanese, but they spoke Japanese very fluently and were friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, but I couldn't get close enough to interact with the dolphins; I only saw a few of them from a distance, which was a bit disappointing (this might be due to the nature of the experience and timing). However, overall, I had a great time, enjoying lunch on the boat and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.

スタッフのうち一人は日本人ではなかったですが日本語がとても流暢で感じもよく安心できました。
イルカもウミガメも見れましたが、
イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので（これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが）少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

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!

イルカウォッチングはした事はありましたが、一緒に泳ぐ！はした事がなかったので参加。イルカは一瞬でしたがウミガメは触れる距離に！感動でした！SUPも初めてやりましたがぐらぐらしながらも立て、他のグループが船に戻る中最後まで遊んでしまいました。テンション高いスタッフ、カメラマンであっという間の時間でした。ハワイに行った人に聞くと結構有名？予約取れなくて…という話も聞きました。人気の理由がわかった気がします！

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！

The Japanese female staff member explained everything politely, and I had a great time! I was lucky to see 20 dolphins and a sea turtle too!

Thank you so much!!!!

女性の日本人staffさんが丁寧に説明してくれて凄く楽しかったです(´∇｀)
イルカ20頭＆海亀も見られてラッキーでした♡

ほんとにありがとうございました!!!!

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.

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！

You can experience an amusement park in Hawaii with a reliable Japanese guide tour. Since the park is frequented by locals, it might be a unique experience. You'll have a private pool for a boogie board lesson, and those 30 minutes with Japanese tourists will surely become a memorable moment.

ハワイでアミューズメントパークとなかなかいけない経験を安心の日本人ガイドツアーに同行でいけます。
パークはロコの方多いのでなかなかない経験かも？
ブギーボードレッスンをプール貸し切りでやるのですが、
なかなか日本人の観光客晒しの30分は思い出になります。

I definitely wanted to swim with dolphins during this trip to Hawaii, so I signed up for a tour. Unfortunately, I didn't see a single dolphin, but I thoroughly enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, and had a great time with lunch on the boat and a hula experience! The crew was friendly and taught us with care, which made me feel very comfortable and able to enjoy myself. For my revenge challenge, I was able to meet many dolphin teachers and sea turtle professors, and I was extremely satisfied!

今回のハワイで必ずドルフィンスイムがしたく、ツアーに申し込みしました。
残念ながらイルカは一匹も見れなかったんですが、スタンダップパドルやシュノーケリングなどを堪能し、船上でのランチやフラ体験などとても楽しい時間でした！
クルーの皆さんもフレンドリーで丁寧に教えてくださり、とっても安心して楽しめました(^^)
リベンジでのチャレンジでイルカ先生もウミガメ大教授にもたくさん会うことができ、大大大満足でした

I enjoyed the water slide.
The shuttle service was helpful, so I didn't need to rent a car.
The sea can be sticky, but the pool feels great.

ウォータースライダーが楽しめました。
送迎付きでレンタカーいらずも助かります。
海はべたつきますし、プールが気持ちいいです。

I think we waited for the pickup bus for over 15 minutes. It was the longest wait time for a bus among the optional tours.

Once we arrived, the locker for storing our bags had a machine panel that reflected the sun, making it really hard to see and operate. After that, since there was no key for the locker, we headed to the pool hands-free and light!

Maybe because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could go on the slides without much waiting. Basically, I floated in the wave pool the whole time.

The most thrilling slide was the Shaka! My husband even let out an "Oh!" while going down. The Tornado was also fun, so we went on it twice, but I ended up hitting my backside hard against the pool because the hole for the tube was quite big. Even after returning to Japan, I still feel a tingling sensation when I sneeze... haha.

It rained at times, but we used that as a break to eat. Overall, we had a well-balanced and really fun time!

I applied sunscreen, but it seems it wasn't enough, and I ended up getting a terrible sunburn. I regretted not wearing a rash guard. I got sunburned so badly that it hurts just to touch it, so for those with sensitive skin or fair complexions, I think it's better to apply sunscreen frequently or protect your skin with a rash guard.

ピックアップのバスは15分以上は待ったかと思います。オプショナルツアーの中では1番バス待ち時間が長かったな。
着いてから荷物をしまうロッカーは、操作する機械のパネルが太陽を反射して全然見えなくて手惑いました。それが済んだら、ロッカーの鍵もないので手ぶらで身軽にプールへ！
平日だからか空いていて、スライダーに大して並ばずどんどん乗れます。基本的には波のプールでずっとプカプカしていました。
スライダーで1番スリルがあったのはシャカでした！夫も「おおお」と声が漏れていました。
トルネードも楽しかったので2回乗りに行きましたが、チューブのお尻を乗せる穴の部分が大きかったせいか、お尻をプールに強打しました。
日本に帰ってきてからもくしゃみするとまだ痺れる感じです…笑

時に雨も降りましたが、その時は休憩としてご飯食べてました。総じてバランス良く遊べてとっても楽しかったです！

日焼け止めを塗っていましたが全然足りなかったようで、ものすごく日焼けしてしまいました。ラッシュガードを着ていった方が良かったな〜と後悔しました。触るだけで痛いくらいガッツリ日焼けしてしまったので、肌が弱い方や色白の方…日焼け止めをこまめに塗るか、ラッシュガードなどで肌を守った方がいいと思います。

I saw Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii on TV before and wanted to go, so I signed up for this tour. The round-trip bus was close to the hotel, and there was guidance in Japanese on the way there, which was helpful. There was also Japanese translation for renting lockers, so there were no issues. The place was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy the slides with almost no waiting time. You can't experience that at famous pools in Japan...

Since there was an all-you-can-drink soft drink plan, it was nice not to have to carry money or cards except for lunch.

I had a great time and I'm satisfied!

以前テレビでウェットアンドワイルドハワイを見て、行きたくなりこのツアーに申し込みました。
往復のバスはホテルの近くでしたし、行きのバスの中では日本語での案内があり、助かりました。
ロッカーを借りるのにも日本語変換があり、問題なかったです。
現地は空いていたのでスライダーも待ち時間はほとんどなく充分に楽しめました。日本の有名プールではこうはいかないですよね。。。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題プランだったので、お金やカードを昼食以外は持ち出さな くて良かった点も楽でした。

楽しい時間を過ごせて満足です！

Each attraction can accommodate up to four people at a time, allowing us to enjoy many rides without waiting in line. We especially loved the Volcano and Tornado, riding them three or four times. The challenge was climbing up, balancing our stamina and time.

It was incredibly fun, but I did injure my tailbone when I landed after the Tornado ride, and my swimsuit tore slightly. I also experienced whiplash when I fell during the Shaka ride, which made me feel that this amusement park would never be possible in Japan, where complaints are taken very seriously.

The heat was intense, and not only did I get sunburned, but the concrete felt like it was burning the soles of my feet. We wore reef shoes, so we were fine, but it seemed many people were barefoot or took off their flip-flops at the entrance of the attractions and came back for them later.

We chose the all-you-can-eat BBQ course with bodyboarding lessons. The BBQ had a limited selection, but we were full from the steak and teriyaki chicken.

As for the bodyboarding, it wasn't really a lesson; we just had a private pool to practice riding the waves. The all-you-can-drink option was fantastic! By showing the red wristband, we could choose from several drinks in paper cups. It was great to have something to sip on whenever we got thirsty!

At the entrance, we were disappointed to have to throw away our unopened plastic bottles, but since they warm up quickly, I highly recommend the all-you-can-drink option.

各アトラクションが一度に4人とかすべれることもあり、並ばずにたくさん遊べました。特にボルケーノ、トルネードなど気に入ったものは3、4回乗りました。あとは上まで登る体力と時間との勝負。
すごくすごく楽しかったのですが、トルネードで落ちて着地したときに尾てい骨を打って水着がやぶけ軽く怪我したのと、シャカで落ちた瞬間重力に首が持ってかれてムチウチ状態になったので、残念ながらクレーマーに弱い日本には絶対できることのない遊園地だなと感じました。
照りつけるような熱さで、日焼けだけじゃなく、コンクリートなので足の裏が焼けそうでした。私たちはリーフシューズを履いていたので平気でしたが、みんな裸足か、アトラクション入口でビーサンを脱いでまた取りに来る、という人が多かったように思います。
BBQ食べ放題とボディボードレッスン付きのコースにしました。BBQは、種類は少ないですが、ステーキと照り焼きチキンでお腹いっぱいになりました。
ボディボードは？？レッスンではなく、ただひたすら波の出るプールを貸し切って波に乗る練習をするだけでした。
ドリンク飲み放題もついていて、これはすごくよかったです。赤いリストバンドを見せると紙コップのドリンクを数種類選べます。ちょっと喉かわいたら飲めるのが最高！
入口の検査で、ペットボトルは開封してないのに捨てさせられて残念でしたが、ペットボトルはすぐぬるくなるので、ドリンク飲み放題はオススメです。

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

The tour guide was very nice, but I wish they had informed us upfront that we needed wetsuits and that there would be various costs involved. I can't swim, so I just watched, but I ended up feeling nauseous, which was tough. I think it might be a bit difficult for non-swimmers.

ツアーの方がとてもいい方でしたが、最初にウエットスーツが必要とか、もろもろお金が必要だったので、最初に伝えて欲しいです。私は泳げないので、みてただけでしたが、酔ってしまい、辛かったです。泳げない人はちょっと無理かなぁ

I had a great time here during my last visit, so I made a reservation again. If I had to say something, it's a bit disappointing that the variety of all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch is still limited, but other than that, I really enjoyed it!

前回こちらで予約してとても楽しかったので再予約しました。
あえて言えばBBQランチ食べ放題の種類が相変わらず少ないことが残念ですが、それ以外は満喫できました！

There are a lot of Japanese people here, so it doesn't feel much like being abroad, but the facilities and concept are something you wouldn't find in Japan, and it was truly wild.

There are attractions that provide a thrill that's almost scary, and since it wasn't too crowded, I was able to fully enjoy both the thrilling rides and the more relaxed options (there's also a soothing hot spring area). The food is similar to what you find at Disney, so I wouldn't have high expectations.

I occasionally use optional tours when traveling abroad, and this one was quite cost-effective. I immediately recommended it to my friends after returning home.

I think I will go again when I visit Hawaii.

日本人が多めなので、あまり海外に来た感じがしないですが、
施設やコンセプトは日本にはない感じでまさしくワイルドでした。

怖いぐらいのスリルを感じるアトラクションもあり、そんなに混んでなかったので、
スリルあるものや、やんわり系（ゆったり温泉コーナーもあります）を思う存分満喫することができました。
食事はディズニーにあるようなものなので、あまり大きな期待はできないかなと。

海外でたまにオプションツアーを利用しますが、これはなかなかのコスパでした。
帰国してから、早速友達にお勧めしました。

また、ハワイに行ったら行くと思います。

This was my first overseas trip☆ I came to meet dolphins! I have dived many times in Okinawa, but this was my first time on such a fun tour! It seemed like the timing was perfect for seeing dolphins, as they came right up to my feet multiple times, and I was so moved ( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ ). And then! A sea turtle!! I was very surprised to see it swimming close enough to touch ('ﾛ' ). All the divers and the captain were funny and kind, and in the end, we all got to dance the hula together, which was so much fun!! I even got to meet a mermaid!? (laughs) Next time I come to Hawaii, I’ll definitely ask Dolphin University again ( ˆoˆ )/

初めての海外旅行☆イルカに会いたくて来ました！沖縄では何度もダイビングの経験はありますが、こんなに楽しいツアーは初めてでした！イルカが見れたのもとってもいいタイミングだったみたいで何度も足元に来てくれて感激でした( ⸝⸝•௰•⸝⸝ )そして！海亀ちゃん!!手が触れれる距離まで泳いでてとても驚きました('ﾛ' )ダイバーの皆さんも船長さんも皆さん面白くて優しくて最後はみんなでフラも踊れて楽しかったです!!マーメイドにも会えたし！？（笑）次ハワイに来た時もイルカ大学さんにお願いします( ˆoˆ )/

From breathtaking Hanauma Bay to the Byodo Temple and Pali Lookout, this tour was captivating. Our driver/guide was excellent. Both of our tours by Enoa were outstanding. Pickups and tours were on time. Very reasonable fees! Highly recommend Ventura!

We had a great time!

We participated as two couples in our late 40s. We joined with transportation, unlimited drinks, and a one-day pass.

We were picked up at the hotel and received explanations from a guide who was fluent in Japanese. After a few pickups, we arrived at the location in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. As we had been informed beforehand, a DVD explaining safety precautions in Japanese was playing in the car, and we had no trouble using the lockers.

When we headed to the attractions, I couldn't stand the heat of the ground barefoot, so I quickly returned to the locker to get my Crocs. Since you can't participate in the attractions while wearing sandals, I left them nearby (there were plenty of places to put them).

All the attractions were fun, but the slopes and stairs were quite tough. For the rubber boat, you have to carry it up yourself, so it's a chance for the men to show off.

I opted for the unlimited Surf Rider for an additional $5 (you can sign up at the information desk after entering). Personally, I found this to be the most enjoyable. It was my first time, and I was worried it might turn into a hilarious disaster like what I saw on TV with the Ungirls, but even a guy in his 40s could do it fairly normally—surprisingly easy? I recommend it.

My wife was really into the Shaka. It's a two-person attraction where you sit facing each other, so if you love thrill rides, you'll enjoy sitting in the back where you can see the ground.

いやー楽しかったぁ

40代後半の夫婦２カップルで参加しました。
送迎+ドリンク飲み放題+１日パスで参加しました。

ホテルでピックアップしてもらい日本語の達者なガイドさんから説明を受け、数カ所のピックアップをへてワイキキから30程度で現地に到着しました。事前の話で聞いていた通り車内では日本語の注意事項の説明DVDが流れ、ロッカーの使い方も迷わずできました。

いざアトラクションに向うも裸足で行ったらあまりの地面の暑さに耐えられず、ロッカーにクロックスを取りにすぐ戻りました。アトラクションはサンダルを履いたままではできないので、アトラクションの近くで脱いで置いときました。（いっぱい置いてありました）

どのアトラクションも面白いのですが、坂道と階段が結構きついです。ゴムボートはセルフで上まで運ぶので男性はいい所を見せるチャンスです。

+５ドルでサーフライダー一日乗り放題にしました。（インフォメーションで受け付けしてるので入場してから自分で申し込みます）自分としてはこれが一番面白かった。まったくの初めてで、以前テレビでアンガールズがやってたようにハプニング映像になるのかなぁとやる前は不安でしたが、40過ぎのおじさんでもわりとフツーにというか、以外に簡単？おススメです。

嫁さんはシャカにはまってました。二人乗りで向かい合って座るタイプのアトラクションなので絶叫系が好きな人は下が見える後ろに乗ったほうがより一層楽しめます。

We got there early, so we were able to ride most of the slides before it got crowded. The Shaka is my favorite, with the Waianae Whirl as a far second. If you haven't been there in a while (like me), the Shaka is now a 1-person ride instead of a 2-person as it was before. Convenient, since there was 3 of us.

If you haven't been there before, you aren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the park. They check bags at the entrance, and I had to empty my water bottle since it wasn't sealed (it was just tap water, so no worries). Sunscreen is a must, as you'll be in the sun pretty much the whole time. Pro-tip: bring reefwalkers/water shoes! Slippers aren't allowed on the rides (for obvious reasons), so having reefwalkers will ensure you won't have to walk around on the hot, grippy ground of the park.

All in all, it's a fun way to spend the day and I'm glad I went!
