All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.

We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.

This was my third time at Dolphin University. Although we had a different guide than before, it was still a lot of fun. The sea was calm and the visibility was a bit low, but we were able to meet the dolphin instructors. I would like to participate again.

今回で３回目のイルカ大学でした。前回までとは違うガイドさんでしたが、変わらず楽しかったです。海は凪いでいて透明度も低めでしたが、ちゃんとイルカ先生に出会えました。また参加したいと思います。

I was able to see dolphins, but they were quite far away. Aside from the dolphins, it didn't seem like there were any coral or tropical fish in the area, so I got bored quickly. There was a vibe of trying to do things on a budget, and the cost-effectiveness was low. The weather was nice, so I'll give it two stars.

イルカは見れましたが、かなり遠かった。
イルカ以外は、珊瑚 熱帯魚 がいる海域ではないようですぐ飽きてしまった。
コストをかけずになんとかしようという雰囲気があり、費用対効果は低かった。
天気が良かったので、星ふたつですね。

I was looking forward to the slides since they were advertised as a highlight, but it seemed to be a bit scary for the younger kids in elementary school, so they didn't go down even once. They were satisfied with the slides designed for children, though. On the other hand, the older kids seemed to enjoy the slides and went down multiple times. I think they will have even more fun once they get a little older. (I had three kids with me: a first grader, a third grader, and a sixth grader.)

スライダーが売りとの事で楽しみだったのですが、
小学校低学年には怖い様で、一度も滑りに行きませんでしたね。
子供向けのスライダーには満足していましたが。
逆に高学年になると、スライダーが楽しいようで、何回も滑りに行ってましたね。
もう少し大きくなったら、より楽しめるかなと思いました。
（小1、小3、小6の3人連れでした。）

The travel took some time. The weather was nice. I was able to enjoy the attractions with a reasonable sense of safety. Overall, I think it was a high-level experience. This time, I chose a tour that included lunch, but due to the waiting times for the attractions, I wasn't able to make it on time. However, thanks to the staff who made adjustments, everything worked out. I am grateful to the staff.

移動は時間がかかりました。天気はよかったです。アトラクションはそれなりに安心して楽しめました。全体的にハイレベルだと思います。今回は昼食付きのツアーにしましたが、アトラクションの待ち時間の都合で、時間に間に合いませんでしたが、職員の方が、調整してくれたおかげで、何とかなりました。職員の方々に感謝します。

Depending on the timing, you can see wild dolphins up close. I was also moved to see a pod of dolphins swimming nearby. The 6-year-old children were also very excited, desperately swimming and watching the dolphins.

タイミングによりますが、野生のイルカを至近距離で見れます。更にイルカの群れが近くを泳ぐのを見て感動しました。6歳の子供達も必死で泳ぎながら、イルカを見て大興奮でした。

When you think of Hawaii, the ocean certainly comes to mind, but I was drawn to the dynamic water park with American quality and made a reservation. You can add a shuttle bus option, but to save money, we chose to meet there. We considered taking TheBUS to the nearest stop and walking from there, but it turned out to be more complicated than we thought. As you can see from the first photo, a highway stretches in front of the facility, making it clear that walking is not feasible. We ended up taking a taxi from there, but considering safety and convenience, it seems better to opt for the shuttle bus or rent a car.

When we actually arrived, about 90% of the visitors were Japanese. It seems that it’s not very popular among locals or tourists from other countries. Each facility was smooth, and we were able to enjoy several attractions in just a few minutes, but three of the main attractions were unexpectedly closed without any explanation. Additionally, one of the popular attractions, a six-person boat slide, had a long ride distance but only two rides available, so we had to wait about two hours in the direct spring sunlight until it was our turn.

I somewhat regretted that it might not have been worth the over one-hour trip from Waikiki, but now I think it was a good experience. Hawaii is indeed about the ocean!! If you have the time, I recommend checking it out. There were plenty of family attractions, so it's great for a family visit!

ハワイといえばやはり海ですが、アメリカクオリティのダイナミックなウォーターパークに惹かれ予約しました。
オプションで送迎バスを付けることが出来ますが、私たちはなるべく節約のため現地集合を選びました。最寄りまではTheBUSを利用しそこから徒歩で行こうかと考えていましたが、そう簡単には行きませんでした。1つ目の写真から分かるように、施設の前には高速道路が広がりどう見ても徒歩では行けそうにありません。私たちはそこからタクシーを利用しましたが、安全性と利便性を考えるとオプションの送迎バスをつけるかレンタカーを利用するほうが良さそうです。
実際に到着すると来園者の9割は日本人でした。現地の人や他国の観光客にはあまり人気がないようです。施設一つ一つはスムーズで数分でいくつものアトラクションを楽しむことが出来ましたが、メインアトラクション3つが特に説明もなく運休。おまけに人気アトラクションの一つである6人乗りボートスライドはライドの距離が長いのに対し、乗り物が2つしかなかったため自分たちの番まで約2時間春の直射日光の中待たされました。
ワイキキからわざわざ1時間以上もかけて行く程でもなかったのかなと少し後悔もしつつ、いい経験だったなと今では思っています。ハワイはやはり海！！時間に余裕があるのなら足を運んでみては如何でしょうか？ファミリーアトラクションは豊富だったので家族で行くのはオススメです！

The children were absolutely delighted. I don't think there are any facilities like this in Japan that have only slides. The Shaka was a thrilling attraction that drops almost vertically. There were also other interesting slides that I think adults can enjoy as well.

However, the Tornado, which I was looking forward to, was out of order. Instead, we were able to use the Da Flowrider (bodyboarding and surfing), which usually incurs an additional fee, for free. Because of that, the Ohana Highway had a long line, and we waited for about 30 minutes without any sign of moving. Since it seemed unlikely we would make it in time for our meeting at 15:10, we ultimately gave up. This attraction has a slow progression, so caution is needed. There were also attractions that were not operating and some that had limited hours of only a few hours. For lunch, I imagined a BBQ where we would grill our own food, but it turned out to be a buffet with beef, salad, rice, and pineapple.

子供は大喜びでした。スライダーばかりのこの様な施設は日本には無いと思います。シャカはほぼ垂直に落ちるアトラクションでかなりスリリングでした。他にも面白いスライダーがあり、大人でも十分楽しめると思います。
しかし楽しみにしていたトルネードが故障中でした。その代わりに本来は別途料金がかかるダ・フローライダー（ボディボードとサーフィン）が無料でした。その影響かオハナハイウェーが行列しており、30分ほど並びましたが進む気配がなく、集合時間の１５：１０に間に合いそうになかったので結局諦めました。このアトラクションは進行が遅く注意が必要です。他にもやっていないアトラクションや、営業時間が数時間しかないアトラクションがありました。ランチにBBQとあり、自分で焼くものを想像していましたが、牛肉とサラダ、ライス、パイナップルのビュッフェでした。

This time, my friends and I participated in a morning tour. Due to our hotel arrangements, a bus from the prestigious Dolphin University picked us up at 6:05 AM. Since the pickup time was early, I was a bit sleepy. The guide was Japanese, and during the bus ride, they provided us with detailed information about safety precautions and snorkeling equipment.

After an hour of travel, we arrived at Board Harbor around 7:30 AM. We had time for a restroom break and to change clothes before departure. This time was very helpful.

After that, the tour I had been looking forward to for a long time, to see wild dolphins up close, began. The boat we boarded was entirely blue and felt relatively new.

The veteran captain and several local supporters searched for dolphins, but unfortunately, we were unable to find any. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or if the season wasn't right, but we couldn't see the dolphins we had been excited about.

However, we were able to experience snorkeling and other marine sports, and the supporters brought humor, making it an enjoyable tour.

今回は友達と３人で、午前中のツアーに参加しました。宿泊したホテルの関係で、あさ６時０５分に、名門イルカ大学のバスが迎えに来ました。迎え時間が早かったので、すこしねむかったです。案内の方が日本人の方で、移動中のバスの中で、注意事項やシュノーケリング器具など、いろいろと詳しく教えていただきました。
１時間の移動で、７時半ごろにボードハーバに着きました。出発前に、トイレ休憩と着替えの時間はありました。この時間を用意していただいて、大変助かりました。
その後、ずっとまえから楽しみにしていた野生のイルカを間近で見るツアーが始まりました。私たちは乗った船が全体ブルーで、比較的に新しいものだと感じます。
ベテラン船長さんと何人かの現地のサポーターたちはずっと、イルカを探しましたが、残念ながら、イルカを見つけることができませんでした。運が悪かったのか、季節が良くなかったのかがわかりませんが、楽しみにしていたイルカを見ることができませんでした。
でも、シュノーケリングや他のマリンスポーツを体験できたし、サポーターたちがユーモア、楽しいツアーでした。

機会があれば、またツアーに参加して、今度こそ、イルカを見ることができるよう、願います。

This is my fourth time, and I am impressed that each time the experience has been upgraded.

Swimming with the dolphins feels like an interaction, but with Dolphin & You, you swim freely in the vast ocean alongside dolphins that are swimming leisurely in groups, and I felt as if I received a mysterious power from them.

My 5-year-old grandchild was crying but was happy to say, "I saw a dolphin."

Also, I was delighted to reunite with Kaia, a staff member I met nine years ago. Thank you, Kaia.

今回で4回目。毎回内容がアップグレードしてて感動しています。

飼育されているイルカと一緒に泳ぐのは「ふれあい」のような感じですが、ドルフィン＆Ｙｏｕは、群れてゆったりと自由に泳いでるイルカと一緒に大海原で泳ぎ、イルカから不思議なパワーがもらえた気持ちになります。

5歳の孫も泣きながらですが「イルカが見えた」と喜んでくれました。

そして、９年前に参加した時のスタッフのカイアに再会できて嬉しかったです。『カイア』ありがとう。

The park opens at 10:30, but closing at 16:00 is too early! Because of this, the bus departure was set for 15:15, so time flew by. Since it was Saturday, there were long lines for the slides, making it difficult to enjoy many rides. Even though they said drinks were all-you-can-drink, I didn't have time to drink while waiting in line for the slides. However, my daughter was very happy. The BBQ was a buffet-style lunch. Since we didn't cook it ourselves, my daughter was a bit disappointed. By the way, it said we would receive park souvenirs, but we didn't get any! There was no explanation about that; I wonder what happened? The only benefit felt like the free WiFi rental.

10:30開園なのに閉園が16:00は早過ぎ！このため15:15に帰りのバス集合となるので、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。土曜日ということもあって、スライダーも並ぶので沢山は滑れないのが難点。飲み物飲み放題と言っても飲んでる時間も無くスライダーに並んでました。でも娘は大喜びでしたが。BBQはビュッフェ形式のランチです。自分で焼くわけでは無かったので、娘はちょっと残念がってた。
ところで、パーク記念品（souvenir)が貰えるって書いてあるけど、貰ってない！説明も無かったよぉあれはなんだったんだろう？お得感はWiFi 無料貸出特典だけか。

Skipper, photographer, and crew member were great and funny. Was a great experience and we were the first ones in the water so that was great.
Would highly recommend this tour.

After the plane arrived, I went straight there. I was sleepy from the time difference, but I had so much fun that I forgot my fatigue. For lunch, I ate at the concession stand, but I thought the system of waiting 15 minutes in the ordering lane and then another 15 minutes in the receipt lane to get my order was a bit much. Since you can't bring in food or drinks, you have to eat there. Other than that, I had a great time and was satisfied. I want to go again. I recommend this way for those who want to adjust to the time difference. You can sleep well at night!

飛行機到着後、すぐに行ってきました。時差で眠たかったけど楽しくて疲れを忘れました。お昼は売店で食べたのですが、オーダーするレーンで１５分まってさらに注文を受けとるレーンでレシートを持って１５分待たなくてはいけないシステムはどうにかならないかなーと思いました。ご飯類飲み物などは持ち込めないのでここで食べないと食べれません。それ以外は楽しくて満足しています。また行きたいです。時差ボケを修正したい方はこの行き方をお勧めします。夜はゆっくり眠れますよー

Last time, in August, it was incredibly hot, and I couldn't walk without flip-flops. Additionally, there were many people, and we had to wait a lot in line. However, this time in early March, it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. There weren't many people, so we could ride our favorite attractions multiple times without much waiting, which was great.

Last time, we went on a tour that included a BBQ, but the food was served in a tent-like area, and the tough meat provided wasn't very tasty. This time, we opted for just the free drinks and bought hot dogs, French fries, and fried chicken from the concession stand. The prices were cheaper this time, and the food was delicious, which was a nice change.

Our family loves thrill rides, so we definitely want to go back when we visit Hawaii again.

前回は8月ということもあり、ものすごく暑く、ビーチサンダルなしでは歩けないほどでした。
更に、人も多く、順番待ちの時間が多かったですが、今回は3月初旬だったので、寒いわけでもなく、過ごしやすかったです。また、人も多くなく、ほとんど順番待ちをせずに、好きなものを何回でも乗ることが出来て良かったです。
前回はBBQ付きのツアーで行きましたが、テントみたいな場所で、用意されたかたいお肉で、あまり美味しくなかったので、今回はフリードリンクだけ付けて、食事は売店で、ホットドッグやフライドポテト、フライドチキンを買いました。値段も今回の方が安く、美味しかったので良かったです。
絶叫系が好きな我が家はハワイに行ったら、また行きたいと思っています。

I know it's just the luck of the draw and bad timing but 5 or 6 people got sick on our trip due to high waves. Maybe cancelling the trip would have been best because after all that, the provided meal was not at all appetizing. Yes we saw a couple green sea turtles, but it would have been much, much better without the fear of human projectile.

This time, it was my second enrollment, following two years ago. Last time I participated in Dolphin Middle School, and this time it was Dolphin University. After a long time, seeing the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and reuniting with Teacher Dolphin... I participated with great expectations, and just like last time, it was truly moving.

The blue sea and blue sky, and of course, Teacher Dolphin as always. It was really healing, made me happy, and was a wonderful time. The sensation of dolphins swimming right below me while I was swimming is a fantastic experience that always excites me when I think about it. I definitely want to experience that emotion again! Thank you to all the crew members who always welcome us with wonderful smiles! I will come to see you again! Mahalo!

今回は、2年前に引き続き2度目の入学でした。前回は【イルカ中学】そして今回は【イルカ大学】への参加でした。久しぶりのハワイの景色、そしてイルカ先生との再会・・・。期待に胸を膨らませての参加でしたが、前回同様【感動】の一言でした。

青い海と青い空、そして相変わらずのイルカ先生。本当に癒され、幸せになり素敵な時間でした。自分が泳いでいる真下をイルカが泳いでいくあの感覚は、思い出してもいつも興奮してしまうような素敵な経験です。ぜひまた、あの感動を味わいたいです！いつも素敵な笑顔で迎えてくださるクルーのみなさん！ありがとうございます！！また、逢いに行きます！mahalo!

It was a tour to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. However, they took us far to search for them, which is not a usual route, and they entertained us with dances, so we didn't feel bored at all.

During snorkeling, we got to see a sea turtle! Although we couldn't swim together, we were able to see dolphins up close, which is a rare sight.

For me, the highlight was that the captain let me sit in the driver's seat; I was truly happy to have such a precious experience! ❤️

On the way back, since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, they gave us a half-price voucher and shared a video taken with a drone, showing the staff's wonderful consideration. Thank you very much!

イルカと泳ぐツアーでしたが、残念ながらイルカと会えなかったんです。でもいつもは行かない遠いところまで探しに行ってくれたり、ダンスをして楽しませてくれたりと退屈せずに過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメさんに会えました！そして、一緒に泳ぐことはできないけれど、滅多に見れないイルカを間近でも見れました。
わたしにとっては何より、船長さんが操縦席に座らせてくれたこと、こんな貴重な体験ができるなんて本当に幸せでした！❤️

帰りのバスでは、イルカと泳げなかったので半額になるバウチャーをくれたり、ドローンで撮影した動画をくれたりと本当にスタッフさんの気配りが素敵でした。
ありがとうございました！

We took a large bus from the designated hotel and arrived in about 30 minutes. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we entered the park. It was quite spacious with many thrilling attractions. We opted for lunch, which was a buffet, and the meat was very delicious. We also got to experience bodyboarding, which became a memorable moment. The park closed around 4 PM, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer.

指定ホテルより送迎の大型バスで向かい30分程で到着。10分ぐらい待ってから入園。なかなかの広さで激しいアトラクションがたくさんありました。昼食付きにしました。ブュッフェ形式で肉がとても美味しかったです。ボディーボードも体験できて、思い出になりました。16時ぐらいに閉園だったのでもう少し長くいれたらなと思いました。

The cost is a bit high, but it was a fun and thrilling experience that you can't have in Japan! The lockers are expensive, with not much difference in size between the large and small ones (the large one is $18). However, you can't ride the slides with your belongings, so I had no choice but to use them. It was helpful that the lockers allow for free in-and-out access.

However, not all attractions operate at the same time; they switch every 30 minutes with 2 to 3 attractions opening at once. As a result, people tend to crowd around the attractions that are currently open. If it’s time for the attraction switch, even if you were in line earlier, you may be told to go to another attraction, so be careful during the switch times.

Because of this, if you don’t time your rides well, you won’t be able to experience everything, but if you manage to time it right, you can have an amazing time. There are many downsides compared to pools and attractions in Japan, but even considering that, I recommend it for those who want to experience unknown thrills!

費用は割高ですが、日本では味わえないスリリングな体験ができて楽しかったです！
ロッカーは、大と小の大きさにあまり差がない上、高いです(大は18＄)
しかし荷物があってはスライダーに乗れないので、仕方なく利用しました。ロッカーが出し入れ自由なのは助かりました。
ただ、アトラクションは全てが一気に稼働しているわけではなく、30分ごとに2～3個ずつ稼働するアトラクションが切り替わります。そのため、稼働しているアトラクションに一気に人が集中して混みます。
アトラクションの切り替え時間になってしまうと、それより前の時間に並んでいても、他のアトラクションに行くように言われてしまいますので、切り替え時間には要注意です。
そのため、タイミングよく乗らないと全部回れませんが、うまく回れば最高に遊べます。
日本のプールやアトラクションにはないマイナス点が多くありますが、それをふまえた上でも、未知のスリルを味わいたい人にはおすすめです！

I was able to see dolphins swimming nearby.

Whether you encounter a pod of dolphins depends on luck that day, but within just 10 minutes of going out to sea, we spotted a group! I immediately jumped in and swam for over an hour. That day, there were many dolphins swimming around, and I was able to see them up close multiple times.

The dolphins gracefully swimming right at my feet were beautiful and adorable. When I said "Aloha!" in a high voice underwater, they responded with squeaks. Some dolphins even showcased their skills by jumping out of the water and spinning around, and I fell in love with these gentle and playful creatures.

I wore my phone in a waterproof case around my neck while entering the water, so I was able to take photos and videos. The videos are fun to watch later, and if they turn out well, you can take screenshots, so I recommend it. The guide took photos with a special camera, and after the tour, you can purchase the data, so if you want beautiful pictures, I think it's a good idea to have the guide take plenty for you.

After watching the dolphins, we had lunch on the boat and went back into the sea. That day, I was able to see a sea turtle swimming for a brief moment. I also saw beautiful fish and got to ride on a canoe and a surfboard. I thought it was a great deal since you can do so many things in one tour.

I was anxious because my English is not very good, but there was a Japanese guide, and all the other crew members were cheerful and fun, so it was fine.

However, the sea in February was cold, and the weather wasn't great, so I rented a wetsuit before getting on the boat. Also, since I hadn't properly swum in over 10 years and was snorkeling for the first time, snorkeling for over an hour was quite challenging for me. I had to swim to where the dolphins were myself, and if I fell behind, I wouldn't be able to see them, so I was desperately trying to keep up with the guide, which took a lot of energy. Since I usually don't exercise at all, it was a good workout!

It was tough, but it was a very enjoyable tour and will be a great memory of Hawaii, so I highly recommend it!

近くで泳ぐイルカの姿を見ることができました。

イルカの群れに出会えるかはその日の運次第･･･ということでしたが、海に出て10分もかからずイルカの群れを発見！
すぐに海に飛び込み、1時間以上海を泳ぎ続けました。
この日はイルカの群れがたくさん泳いでおり、何度も近くで見ることができました。

自分の足元で優雅に泳ぐイルカ達はとても綺麗で可愛かったです。
海の中で「アロハ～」と高い声で言うとキューキュー鳴いて反応してくれました。
水面から飛んでクルクル回る技を披露してくれるイルカもいて、優しくてサービス精神旺盛なイルカが大好きになりました。

防水ケースに入れた携帯を首にかけて海に入ったので、写真や動画を撮ることもできました。
動画は後で見ても楽しいし、綺麗に撮れたらスクショもできるのでオススメです。
ガイドさんが専用カメラで写真を撮ってくれて、ツアー終了後データを購入することもできるので綺麗な写真が欲しい方はガイドさんにいっぱい撮ってもらうといいと思います。

イルカ達を見たあとは船上で昼食を食べ、再び海へ。
この日は一瞬ですが、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました。
他にも綺麗なお魚を見たり、カヌーやサーフボードに乗ったり。
いろんなことが1度のツアーでできるのでお得だなと思いました。

英語が全然ダメなので不安でしたが、日本人のガイドの方がいるし、他のクルーも皆さん陽気で楽しい方ばかりなので大丈夫でした。

ただ、2月の海は寒く天気も良くなかったので船に乗る前にウェットスーツをレンタルしました。
あと、10年以上まともに泳いでいない、シュノーケリング初めての自分にとっては1時間以上続けてのシュノーケリングは結構大変でした。
イルカの群れのいる場所に向かって自分で泳がないといけず、出遅れるとイルカを見ることができないのでガイドさんについていくのに必死でかなり体力使いました。
普段全く運動しないのでいい運動になりました！

大変でしたが、とても楽しいツアーでハワイのいい思い出になるのでオススメです！

We participated as a couple ^_^

We were overwhelmed by the numerous slides we had never seen before (´-`)

This time, we were picked up from the nearest hotel, but the distance to the pool was quite long, which left an impression on us. It took about 40 minutes.

We stayed from 11 AM to 3 PM, which was a short time, and the slides in the pool had time restrictions, so we were worried about whether we could ride all of them within that time. However, there were not many people in the pool, and we were satisfied that we could ride all the slides.

Especially, the slide called the FlowRider allowed us to experience a surfing-like sensation, which was a distinctly different kind of fun compared to the other slides.

Also, when you think of pools in Hawaii, there's a strong image of many foreigners, and I was somewhat looking forward to seeing white people in bikinis, but surprisingly, there were quite a few Japanese people as well. In the end, I was just chasing after my girlfriend in her bikini (laughs). In that sense, I definitely recommend it for couples (laughs).

All in all, Wet 'n' Wild had great facilities in the pool, and we had a lot of fun!!

カップルで参加しました^_^

見たこともないスライダーの数々に圧倒されましたよ（´-`）

今回は最寄りのホテルから送ってもらったのですがプールまでの距離が長かったのが印象的でした。だいたい40分くらいですかね。

私たちは11-15時と滞在時間が短く且つプール内のスライダーが時間によって制限されており、時間内に全て乗れるか不安でしたがプール自体の人も少なく全部のスライダーに乗れて満足しました。

特にフローライダーと呼ばれるスライダーはサーフィンのような感覚で波に乗れることができその他のスライダーと比べ一際違った楽しみ方ができました。

またハワイのプールと言えば外人が多いというイメージが強く若干白人のビキニ姿等も楽しみにしていたのですが意外と日本人も多く結局僕は彼女のビキニ姿ばかり追いかけていました（笑）
そういう意味ではカップルで行く方には是非オススメです（笑）

なんだかんだ言ってプール内の施設も充実してて楽
しかったウェットアンドワイルドです！！

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. I visited in early March, and the weather was nice and not cold, so a bikini was enough to walk around outside. Without beach sandals, the ground gets too hot to walk on (when riding attractions, many people often leave their sandals in lockers and walk around barefoot). Also, be careful as you can get quite sunburned if you don't apply sunscreen.

There are no baskets or shelves in the changing rooms, so you'll have to place your bag on the wet floor. If you're concerned about this, it's better to bring something that you don't mind getting dirty.

I followed the advice I found here and didn't take a lunch break, just kept riding attractions. I returned to the hotel around 4 PM, so I could manage a bit of hunger. The park feels a bit compact, but after going around and finding my favorite attractions, I could ride the same ones multiple times since it wasn't too crowded (I went on a Sunday), so I think you can have a lot of fun. There was a smoking area and a bar serving alcohol in the center of the park. It might be a matter of appearance, but you didn't need a passport to buy alcohol. Draft beer was $7-8, and a berry cocktail that looked like shaved ice was $9 (I ordered the same thing as someone else who had it, and it was delicious!). I think it's also good to leave a tip.

If you're unsure whether to go or not, I think you should definitely go!

モニターでウェットアンドワイルドハワイに行きました。
3月上旬に行きましたが天気が良く寒くありませんでした、ビキニだけで十分外を歩き回れます。ビーチサンダルがないと地面が熱く歩けないくらいです（アトラクションに乗るときはサンダルを脱ぐので、サンダルをロッカーに預けて裸足で動き回る方もしばしばいます）また、日焼け止めを塗らないとかなり焼けるので注意が必要です。
更衣室にはカゴや棚が無いので、濡れた床にバックを置くことになります。気になる方は汚れても良いものを持ってった方が良いでしょう。
私もここにあったアドバイスのように昼食は取らずにらずっとアトラクションに乗っていました。ホテルに戻るのも16時くらいなので、多少の空腹も我慢できる感じです。パークは少しこじんまりした印象ですが、ひと通りを回って自分の好きなアトラクションを見つけて、それからは何回も同じものを乗ることができるくらいの混みようなので（日曜日に行きました）、結構楽しめると思います。喫煙所とお酒が飲めるバーがパークの中央にありました。 見た目もあると思いますが、お酒を買うときはパスポートは不要でした。生ビールは7-8ドル、かき氷風？のベリーのカクテルは9ドルでした。（他に頼んでる人がいて、同じものを頼みました。美味しかったです！）チップも払うと良いと思います。
行くか行かないかを迷っている方は、行った方がいいと思います！

I enjoyed the sea cave and the snorkel. Our guide took great measures to ensure our safety while snorkeling. We had a small tour with only 4 people.

I wasn't very lucky, so I thought there was a 1 in 10 chance that I might not see any dolphins...!

However, about 20 minutes after boarding the boat, I saw a whale diving into the sea, its tail clearly visible! After that, I also spotted a mother and baby whale swimming in another area.

Seeing so many whales was quite lucky, and just as I was thinking that, I discovered dolphins! After getting my gear ready and jumping into the water, dozens of dolphins swam right in front of me! The water was murky that day, so I couldn't see them from below, but they passed by in groups multiple times, which made me very satisfied☆

Next time I come, I hope the water is clear enough to see the dolphins underwater!

あまり運が良い方ではないので、もしかしたらイルカに会えない1/10の確率を引いてしまうかも…！と思っていました。

ですが船に乗って20分すぎた頃、クジラが海に潜っていくのがしっぽまでバッチリ見えました！その後は別の場所でクジラの親子が泳いでいるのも見えました。

クジラをこんなに見られるのはかなりラッキーという事で、幸先良いな〜と思っていた所、イルカ発見！
装備を揃え海に飛び込むと、数十頭のイルカちゃんが目の前を泳いで行きました！
水が濁っている日だったので海中からは見えませんでしたが、その分何度も何度も近くを群れで通り過ぎてくれたので、大満足でした☆

次来る時は、水が澄んでいてイルカを水中から見られるといいなあ！

I was relieved to see that there were Japanese cast members and all the tour participants were Japanese! I misunderstood the windbreaker listed in the items as a raincoat and didn't bring it, later regretting that it would have been good as a layer to keep warm. However, the weather was nice and warm, so I was able to withstand the wind on the boat! The dolphins came by 2 or 3 times, and I was able to swim with them♡ I wanted to go see them again after the break.

日本人キャストさんがいてツアー参加者も全て日本人で安心しました！持ち物に書いてあるウインドブレーカーは雨よけと勘違いして持っていかなかったら寒さ防止の羽織りでよかったのを後から知って持っていかなかったことに後悔しましたが天気もよく暖かかったので船風には耐えられました！イルカは2.3度来てくれて一緒に泳げました♡休憩したあともう一度会いに行きたかったです。

Knowledgable, competent instructors. They were very kind to my wife, as this was her first time to surf.

I was wondering if there would be many people participating in the tour, but there were actually quite a few (mostly young people).

Upon arrival, there was a simple baggage check before entering. The line for entry was a bit chaotic, and I wasn't sure where to stand, but we were able to get in without much confusion.

Once inside, the first thing to do is to store your belongings in a locker. To elaborate on the lockers, you pay for the locker fee in advance at the machine shown in the first image. The large locker costs $18, and the small one costs $13 (as seen in the second image). We used a small locker for the two of us. We managed to enter with just the essentials. You can pay with cash or credit card, and you will receive change. After payment, a paper with your locker number is issued, and you can use that locker. You can open and close it as many times as you need.

The pool itself wasn't crowded, so most attractions had little to no wait time. It was fun, but when it got a bit cloudy, the strong wind made it quite cold. A cover-up is a must!

Among the attractions, the wave pool was surprisingly enjoyable. There are also plenty of slides, so I think kids would love it too.

I highly recommend that everyone give it a try at least once. You can enjoy a different experience compared to the beaches in Waikiki!

ツアーに参加する人はいるのかなと思っていましたが、思いのほか人数が多かったです。（若い子ばかり）
現地に到着すると、入場前に簡単な手荷物検査がありました。入場待ちの列がアバウト過ぎてどこに並べばいいかわかりませんでしたが、たいした混乱もなく入場できました。
入るとまずロッカーに荷物を預けます。ロッカーについて少し詳しく述べると、画像1枚目の機械で先にロッカーの代金を支払います。大が18ドル、小が13ドル（画像2枚目）です。わが家は夫婦2名分で小を利用しました。最低限の荷物でなんとか入りました。代金は現金でもクレジットカードでも大丈夫です。おつりもでます。支払いが終わるとロッカー番号が指定された紙が出てくるので、そのロッカーを使用します。開け閉めは何回でもできます。
プール自体は混んでいなかったので、ほとんどのアトラクションが待ち時間もあまりなく利用できました。楽しかったですが、少し曇ると風が強いせいか極寒でした。はおるものは必須です！
アトラクションの中では波が起こるプールが意外とおもしろかったです。スライダー系もたくさんあるのでお子さんも喜ぶと思います。
みなさんもぜひ一度行かれてみてはどうでしょうか。ワイキキの海とは違った楽しみ方ができますよ！

It is right there as soon as you exit after transferring on the freeway. The volume is perfect. The kids were thrilled. My son tried surfing for the first time and did quite well. There are various types of slides, and the atmosphere of the facility was enjoyable without any dull spots.

フリーウェアを乗継ぎ、出口を出たらすぐにあります。ボリュームは満点。子供たちは大喜びでした。息子は初の波乗りに挑戦し、なかなかのパフォーマンスでした。スライダーもいろんな種類があるし、施設の雰囲気もガランとしているところがなくって楽しめました。

I went by rental car, and it is quite far. However, it is worth the trip. It wasn't crowded at all. There was no waiting time, so we were able to enjoy ourselves for half a day.

レンタカーで行きましたが結構遠いです。ですが行く価値ありですね
全く混んでいませんでした。待ち時間が全く無いので半日十分遊べなした
