All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie

For the price we paid we were disappointed. The brochure made the park look much larger than it really was. Also, many of the slides were closed, opened periodically. I think they may have been short staffed as lifeguards hopped from slide to slide closing them as they went.
Slides were fun but I don't think worth what we paid.

We wanted to do something fun while my dad was visiting for his and my daughter's birthday. Great trip! The guys were funny and knowledgeable. We saw dolphin right as we sat out on the trip. Snorkeling spot was great and clear blue seas. We hope to do it again!

In December, the weather was nice, but there was a bit of a chilly impression from the start. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we encountered wild dolphins early on, and we all got into the sea to wait for the dolphins to come closer. After a while, we were thrilled to see the dolphins jumping and spinning in the air nearby! However, it seems that usually, the dolphins come quite close, so timing is important. The seawater was cold, and as someone who is sensitive to the cold, I ended up sitting out for a bit, but I was satisfied to see the wild dolphins up close! Also, personally, the staff were very cheerful and made the atmosphere lively, so just being there was enjoyable! There was also a professional hula dancer, and doing hula dance together at the end was a valuable experience. However, although it was advertised as a boat BBQ, what was served was a hamburger, which raised some questions (the hamburger itself was delicious, though). Overall, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan, so I recommend it! For those sensitive to the cold, even in Hawaii, the seawater in December was chilly, so participating in a warmer season would allow for maximum enjoyment.

12月ということで、天気は良かったのですが、少し肌寒い印象が最初からありました。
船に乗って出発すると、早い段階で野生のイルカに出会うことが出来、みんなで海に入り、イルカが近づいてくるのを待ちました。
しばらくすると近くでイルカ達がジャンプしたり、空中でくるくると回っている様子を見られて感激しました！
ただ、普段だと、かなり間近までイルカが近づいてきてくれることもあるようで、タイミングがあるみたいですね。
海水が冷たく、冷え性の私はこの辺りでダウンしてしましたが、野生のイルカを近くで見ることが出来、満足です！
あと、個人的にはスタッフの方がとっても陽気に場を盛り上げてくれたので、その場にいるだけで楽しめました！プロのフラダンサーさんもいて、最後にみんなでフラダンスをしたのも貴重な体験です。
ただ、船上BBQ付とのことでしたが、提供されたのはハンバーガーだったので、これは疑問です（ハンバーガー自体は美味しかったですよ）
総合的には、日本では出来ない体験が出来たので、オススメです！
冷え性の方はハワイとはいえ１２月の海水は寒かったので、温かいシーズンに参加すると、目一杯楽しめると思います。

We encountered dolphins right after we set off. Once we entered the water, we came across a huge number of dolphins swimming so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. The last time I participated, the visibility wasn't very good, and while there were dolphins, I couldn't see them clearly. This time, there were so many dolphins, and the visibility was great, so I was very satisfied. The second snorkeling spot had few corals and fish, making it a bit underwhelming for snorkeling.

However, since the main attraction was the dolphins, I was overall very satisfied. The staff was very friendly, and since I had children with me, they were great at engaging with them. It was a very enjoyable tour! I would love to participate again.

出発してすぐにイルカに出会えました。海に入るとすごい数のイルカの群れに何度も遭遇して、手が届きそうなぐらい近くを泳いでいました。前回参加したときは透明度があまりよくなく、イルカがいたのですがあまりはっきり見れなかったのですが、今回は数もすごかったし透明度もよく大満足でした。2か所めのポイントはサンゴも魚も少なく、シュノーケルするには微妙な感じでした。
でもメインがイルカなので総合的に大満足です。スタッフもとてもフレンドリーで、子供連れだったのですが、よく子供の相手もしてくれました。とても楽しいツアーでした!!また参加したいです。

This is our third time in Hawaii, and it's our second visit to Wet'n'Wild Hawaii!! That means it's a must-visit for water adventure enthusiasts. Among the attractions, my favorite is the Waimea Whirl, which starts with a steep drop that makes your body feel weightless, followed by two spins while getting splashed, and then you slide down into the pool—it's an adrenaline-pumping slide!!

There are many attractions that couples can enjoy together, and we had a lot of fun! My husband loved the Volcano Express, which is a straight slide where you climb up the stairs and come down from a high point. I took pictures at the bottom!! Everyone rides down on a thin boat, trying to maintain balance while screaming, but their faces are serious.

Then, I thought I could relax on a float in the wave pool, but the waves were no joke! They were huge, and in a way, I screamed the most here. Haha.

We also enjoyed a delicious lunch and returned home with full stomachs!

私たち3度目のハワイで、ここWet'n'Wild Hawaiiに来たのは2回目です！！ということは、ウォーターアドベンチャー系では欠かせないということになりますね。その中でも、私のお気に入りのアトラクションは、ワイメア　ワールといって急落下で体が浮くほどのスタートのお次は、2回転グルグル水しぶきを受けながら回り、また滑りながらプールへ落下するというテンションMax系の滑り台です！！
夫婦二人で、仲良く楽しめるアトラクションも多くとても楽しかったです！旦那さんは、ボルケーノ　エクスプレスといって、ストレート系スライダーなんだけど、とにかく階段を上り高い山の上から下りてくる。私は下でカメラをパシャリ！！皆さん、薄いボートにのってバランスをとりながら下りてくるので、絶叫しながらも顔は真剣です。
あとは、浮き輪にのって波乗りプールでのんびり浮いていようかと、思いきや！これまた、半端な波ではなかった、とてもとてもビックウェイブで、私はある意味ここで一番、絶叫していました。笑。
ランチも美味しく頂いて、お腹いっぱいで帰宅致しましたよ！

On the day of our visit, the weather was unfortunately a bit gloomy, and the temperature was quite low, making it a little chilly for the pool. We started off by filling up on a hearty hamburger, and then we headed to try out various water slides! There were paid water slides available, but we had plenty of fun on the free ones as well! Local kids were also there to play, and the four-person water slide they were on looked thrilling, making it exciting to watch! Additionally, it was thrilling to see the local boys enjoying activities that resembled surfing!

However, the shower facilities only had cold water, and there were limited changing spaces that were locked, and there were no hair dryers, which was a bit disappointing. Therefore, I recommend that women bring extra towels! Also, the bus rides to and from the location can get quite cold, so it would be wise to bring a thick hoodie or jacket!

当日は、あいにくの空模様で、
少し気温も低くく、ちょっとプールには寒いぐらいでしたが、
まずはボリュームたっぷりのハンバーガーで、腹ごしらえをし、
その後ウォータースライダー各種を乗りに行きました！
有料のウォータースライダーもありましたが、
無料のウォータースライダーでも充分楽しむことが出来ました！
現地の子供達も遊びに来ていたのですが、
その子たちが乗っていた4人乗りのウォータースライダーは、かなりスリル満点で見ている方もドキドキしました！
あとは、サーフィンを模したアクティビティも、
現地の少年たちが楽しむ姿を見るのも、
ワクワクしました！
ただシャワー施設が水のみしかなく、
着替えるスペースも鍵がかかるところがわすがしかなかったり、
ドライヤー等がなかったりと、ちょっと残念でした。
なので、女性の方はタオルを多めに持っていくなどした方がオススメです！
あとは、やはり行き帰りのバスはかなり冷えるので、厚手のパーカーなどを持って行った方がよいかと思います！

This was my third dolphin tour in Hawaii over the past five years, and I wish I had met the school sooner, but I'm glad I did.

Yuriko Mama told me to greet everyone with "Aloha" when getting on the bus, and I felt a bit embarrassed and nervous saying "Aloha" to the Japanese people on the bus. However, the atmosphere on the bus going and coming back was completely different; it felt like we were all one, like classmates.

I participated with my mother, sister, and aunt. My mother took a while to jump into the sea last time, but thanks to the staff and Yuriko Mama, she was able to dive in. My aunt was participating for the first time and took a long time to get in, missing the dolphins. Yuriko Mama told the other staff "No see," and when we found the dolphins a second time, she immediately called my aunt over, and my aunt was moved to tears swimming with the dolphins. I was filled with gratitude that they made it possible for parents in their 60s to experience the joy of swimming with dolphins. It was so much fun.

I apparently kicked my legs when I shouldn't have, but I was so absorbed that I didn't notice at all. I hope I didn't wake the dolphins during their rest time... I reflect on that. I love nature and the ocean too! On the way back, I even received a birthday present. Just being able to meet the dolphins was wonderful, and getting a birthday present made me incredibly happy.

Looking at the photos after returning to Japan, everyone has such great smiles, and thanks to the university staff and other guests, our beginner family was able to have a wonderful time.

I want to go again, or rather, I want to see the dolphins and the teachers again. I want to take classes again (*´∇｀). I felt once again that I want to live in a way that protects nature even in Japan.

ここ5年で3度目のハワイ色々なイルカのツアーに参加していたけど、もっと早く学校と出逢いたかったし出逢えて良かった。
ユリコママにバスに乗る時「アロハ～」って挨拶してねって言われて、バス乗った時、日本人相手にアロハ～が恥ずかしいと言うか緊張してしまったけど行きと帰りのバスの空気は全く違って同級生というか心が一つなっていたように感じた。

母親、妹、叔母、私の4人で参加して、母親ゎ前回海に飛び込むのに時間かかったけど、まわりのスタッフさんやユリコママのお陰で海に飛び込めて、叔母ゎ初参加で、海に入るまで時間がかかってしまいイルカも見逃してしまったら、ユリコママがNo.seeと他のスタッフに言ってくれて2回目イルカを見つけた時すぐに叔母を呼んでくれて、おばもイルカ達さんと一緒に泳げて感動して涙が出てしまった。
60代の親達も一緒にイルカと泳げる感動を味わえるようにしてくれたのを感謝でいっぱいだった。すごく楽しかった。

私ゎバタ足しちゃいけないのにバタバタやったしまったらしい。夢中で全然気づかなかった。イルカさんお休みTIMEだったのに起こしてしまったかな…反省。
私も自然界や海が大好き‼ 帰りゎ誕生日プレゼントまでいただいた。
イルカさんと会えただけでも嬉しいのに誕生日プレゼントまで最高に嬉しかった。 日本戻ってから 写真みてもみーんな良い顔してて、大学のスタッフさんや他のお客さんのお蔭で我々初心者家族も素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。

また行きたいというかイルカさんや先生達に会いたい。また授業受けたい(*´∇｀)
日本でも自然を守れるような生活をしたいきたいと改めて感じた。

The bus service to and from the hotel was great, allowing us to relax both ways. Perhaps due to the rainy weather, it was very quiet, and we were able to board most attractions without much waiting. The scale was smaller than I expected, but we could enjoy all the attractions in about 3 to 4 hours, which was very satisfying.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, so we could enjoy them whenever we wanted, just by showing our wristbands without having to pay. I borrowed a larger locker since I had a lot of luggage. It was great that I could open and close it as many times as I needed, allowing for easy access to my phone, wallet, and towels. Also, since it was locked with a PIN, I didn't have to carry a key, which made it easier to manage my belongings.

The attractions, like the wave pool and the vertical drop waterslide, were all really fun. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so it was easy to ask questions if we didn't understand something. Each attraction was impressive, and it was an exhilarating water park experience that you can't find in Japan.

The food options included pizza, fries, and hot dogs, which were all delicious and perfect for after swimming. The wave pool felt just like real waves, and the depth made it a lot of fun. Free rentals for floaties and life jackets meant we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about costs. There were even life jackets for babies, so it was safe for everyone to play.

ホテルまでバスで送迎付きで、行きも帰りもくつろいで行けるので良かった。
天候が雨だったこともあったのかとても空いていてほとんど並ばずに乗れた。
思っているよりは規模は小さめで3.4時間で全てのアトラクションに乗ることができ、とても満足できた。
ドリンクが飲み放題なので好きな時に飲めてお金も出さずにリストバンドを見せるだけだったのでとても楽だった。
ロッカーは荷物が多かったので大きい方を借りた。開け閉めが何度でも可能なので携帯や財布の出し入れ、タオルの出し入れを頻繁にすることができて良かった。また、暗証番号でのロックのため、鍵を持ち歩く必要がないので荷物が少なくて済む。
波のでるプールや垂直に落ちるウォータースライダーなど面白いアトラクションばかりで本当に楽しかった。
日本語の対応スタッフもいたので、分からないことがあった際はすぐに聞くことができて良かった。
アトラクションそれぞれのスケールがすごく、日本では体感できない刺激的な遊泳施設だった。
食べ物はピザやポテト、ホットドッグなど水遊び後に食べたくなるような塩っけのある食べ物があり、とても美味しかった。
波の出るプールでは、本当の波のように感じ、深さもとてもあるのでとても楽しかった。
浮き輪やライフジャケットなどが無料でレンタルでき、お金を気にせず楽しめた。赤ちゃんでもライフジャケットがあるので安心して遊べる。

I went snorkeling for the first time on my honeymoon! I thought Hawaii's winter would be warm and let my guard down, but it was cold (´；ω；`) When I returned to the boat after snorkeling, I couldn't stop shivering, so those who are sensitive to the cold should be especially careful. However, I was very moved to see wild dolphins!

ハネムーンで初シュノーケリングをしました！ハワイの冬は暑いと思って油断していたのですが、寒かったです(´；ω；`)シュノーケリングの後に船に戻ってきた時、震えが止まらなく、冷え性の人は特に要注意です。ですが、野生のイルカをみることができとても感動しました！

It was so mysterious that I wondered why we could meet like this. On the boat, the veteran instructor was actively moving around. The only disappointing thing was that it wasn't a coral reef like in Okinawa. Next time, I want to go to see the manta rays.

何故こんなに会えるのだろうと思うくらい不思議でした。船上ではベテランのインストラクターが小まめに動かれていました。ただ一つ残念だったのは、沖縄のような珊瑚礁ではなかったことぐらいかな？今度がマンタに会いに行きたいと思っています。

I was able to meet a lot of wild dolphins! ♡ I even got to swim close to a turtle, and it was truly a wonderful experience!!! I thought it might be hard to do this in Japan, so I'm really glad I made the reservation!

たっくさんの野生のイルカに会えました♡
カメも近くで一緒に泳げたし、本当に素敵な体験でした！！！
なかなか日本ではできないのかなぁ、と思うので、予約してよかったです！！

Although it was an early morning departure, the guide's enthusiasm on the bus was fantastic, and it really got us excited. I was truly worried about the cold, but the wetsuit kept me warm, and I ended up enjoying it 100%! Within just 10 minutes of setting out on the boat, we encountered around 200 dolphins... I couldn't contain my excitement! It truly became a wonderful memory.

早朝発でしたが、その行きのバスからガイドさんの盛り上げが素晴らしく、テンション高くいけました。寒さが本当に心配だったのですが、ウェットスーツで防げて、結果100%楽しめました！船を出して10分でイルカ先生200匹ほどに出会え、、、もう興奮がおさまりませんでした！本当に素敵な思い出になりました。

We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, it rained, but it stopped around noon, and we were able to have a great time. The lazy river and wave pool were spacious and enjoyable even for children. The thrill rides were unlike anything you would find in Japan, and the Tornado ride was so intense that I felt like I might fly off if I let go of the handles. Those who are not good with thrill rides should really be cautious. For those who find regular pools unsatisfying, I highly recommend it. Additionally, there was a spa pool next to the lazy river, which was warm like a hot spring. Since we participated during the chilly rainy season, it was very much appreciated by me as a Japanese person. We chose a plan with unlimited drinks on the tour, and it worked by showing the staff the band we wore on our arm to get our drinks.

I did notice that there seemed to be fewer staff, as we could only use one of the attractions next to each other for 30 minutes at a time. Other than that, it was very exciting and satisfying. I also recommended it to a friend who is going on their honeymoon next time.

夫婦で参加しました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、昼頃にはやみ、楽しく過ごせました。流れるプールや、波のでるプールは広く、子供でも楽しめる様になっています。
絶叫系は日本では絶対にありえないようなものばかりあり、特にトルネードは取っ手を離したら飛んでいくんじゃないと思うくらい激しかったです。絶叫系が苦手な人は本当に注意です。普通のプールでは物足りないという人にはすごく、オススメです。あと、流れるプールの横にスパプールというものがあり、温泉みたいに温かいプールでした。雨季の肌寒い時期の参加だったので、日本人の私にとってはすごくありがたかったです。ツアーで飲み物飲み放題のプランにしましたが、腕につけているバンドを見せてスタッフに出してもらうという感じです。
あとはスタッフが少ないのか、隣同士のアトラクションが30分交代で１つしか利用できないのだけ気になりました。それ以外はとても刺激的で満足でした。今度新婚旅行へ行く友人にもオススメしました。

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I joined the Dolphin & You tour.

On the day of the tour, I arrived at the hotel meeting point at 4:40 AM. The bus to the port was very clean.

During the bus ride, there were explanations in Japanese about the rental of wetsuits ($10 per person), photo services (the combined cost for photos and videos was around $100), and the price for motion sickness wristbands (I can't remember how much that was), as well as safety tips for when we encountered dolphins. Since we had experienced extreme cold on the previous day's tour, we decided to rent wetsuits and also signed up for the photo and video package as a special memory. By the way, the water temperature was low, and even with the wetsuits, it was still cold, so I recommend renting a wetsuit, bringing a large towel, and if possible, bringing a change of clothes during this season! Those who signed up for photos received silicone bands to prioritize photo opportunities underwater.

Upon arriving at the port, we stopped by the restroom, and then wetsuits (only for those who signed up) and snorkeling gear were distributed before boarding a small boat. When we participated, there were about 30 participants, so the boat was full.

We headed to the first spot where we could encounter dolphins, and while snorkeling, we first saw a seal. This seal is said to be very rare, with only about 1,200 individuals living in the area, so we were very lucky to see it. We were able to snorkel to our heart's content while watching many dolphins swimming right in front of us and jumping a little further away at two different spots.

After that, we moved to a different location where we played with snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and a slide from the boat, and we had cheeseburgers and potato chips. Then, we watched a hula dance, received tattoo stickers, and returned to the port, where we took a final group photo with the staff and all participants before heading back to the hotel by bus.

I was able to see many dolphins, and all the staff were friendly, making it a very satisfying tour!

イルカと泳いでみたいと思い、ドルフィン＆ユーのツアーに参加しました。

当日は、午前４時４０分にホテルの集合場所へ。港へ向かうバスはとてもきれいなバスでした。

バスの中では日本語で、ウェットスーツの貸し出し(１人１０ドル)や、写真の案内(写真と動画は合わせて、たしか１００ドル)、酔い止めのリストバンドの案内(いくらだったかな？)、イルカに出会ったときの注意点などの説明がありました。
私たちは、前日のツアーで死ぬほど寒い思いをしたので、ウェットスーツを、また、せっかくの記念にと、写真と動画を申し込みました。ちなみに、実際水温が低くウェットスーツを来ていても寒かったので、この時期はウェットスーツを借りること、大きめのバスタオルを持っていくこと、できれば着替えも持っていくことをおすすめします！
写真を申し込んだ人には、水中で優先的に写真を撮るためということで、シリコンバンドが配られました。

港に着くと、トイレに寄り、その後ウェットスーツ(もちろん申し込んだ人のみ)とシュノーケリンググッズが配られ、小型の船に乗り込みます。私たちが参加した時は、３０人ぐらいの参加者がいたので、船は満員でした。

最初のイルカと出会えるスポットへ行き、シュノーケリングをしていると、まずアザラシを見ることができました。そのアザラシは、１２００頭ほどしか生息しない、とても希少なアザラシだそうで、見ることができてとてもラッキーでした。
また、たくさんのイルカが目の前を泳いだり、少し離れたところでジャンプしていたりと、２か所のスポットで思う存分イルカを見ながらシュノーケリングすることができました。

その後、違うスポットに場所を移し、シュノーケリングやカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台で遊び、チーズバーガーとポテトチップスを食べました。
そしで、フラダンスを見たり、タトゥーシールをもらったりしながら、港へと戻り、最後にスタッフの方や参加者全員で写真を撮ってから、バスでホテルへと戻りました。

たくさんのイルカに会うことができましたし、スタッフの方もみなさんフレンドリーで大満足のツアーでした！！

I joined this tour because I wanted to enjoy not only the ocean but also the pool in Hawaii. It was a bit far from the center of Waikiki, so the round-trip shuttle service was very helpful. Additionally, since it was an all-you-can-drink plan, I only had to show the coupon on my wrist to get drinks, which was very convenient as I didn't need to carry my wallet.

Inside the park, there were about ten large water slides. The scale was larger and the thrill factor was higher than at Toshimaen in Tokyo. However, perhaps because it was a less crowded time, the slides were not operating continuously during the park's opening hours and would sometimes pause. Therefore, I recommend riding your favorite slides while they are open. We played for about three and a half hours starting from 10:30, which allowed us to go on each slide twice. You cannot bring drinks or food into the park, so you will need to purchase lunch inside. Ultimately, we started changing around 14:00, took the bus back around 15:00, and were dropped off at the nearest bus stop around 16:00. You can expect the total time commitment to be from morning until evening.

Regarding the park's facilities, there are two sizes of lockers, and we rented one large locker for the two of us. It was big enough to fit about two large tote bags, and once you rent it, you can access it as many times as you want, so I recommend renting one. The large locker cost $18. There were also about four shower rooms and around eight changing rooms with curtains.

I believe both adults and families with children can enjoy it, as there were also pools for kids. If you want a thrilling experience in addition to relaxing by the sea, I definitely recommend participating!

ハワイで海だけでなく、プールも楽しみたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。ワイキキの中心地からは高速で移動と少し遠いので、往復送迎が付いていてとても助かりました。またドリンク飲み放題のプランだったため、腕についているクーポンを見せるだけで飲み物が飲め、わざわざお財布を持っていく必要が無く、とても便利でした。
　パーク内は大きなウォータースライダーが１０本ほどありました。東京の豊島園よりも規模は大きくスリリング度も高かったです。ただ空いている時期だったためか、スライダーはパークの開園時間中ずっとやっているわけではなく、一時中断になることがありました。そのため気に入ったスライダーはやっている間にたくさん乗ることをおすすめします。10:30から3時間30分程遊び続け、すべてのスライダー×２本ずつを巡れる感じです。事前に飲み物やご飯は持ち込めないので、お昼はパーク内で購入する形になります。最終的に14:00時過ぎに着替え初め、15:00頃に帰りにバスに乗り、16：00頃に最寄りのバス停で降ろしてもらえました。拘束時間は朝から夕方くらいと思ってもらえれば大丈夫です。
　パーク内の設備に関して以下で説明します。ロッカーはサイズが二種類あり、私たちは二人で大きいロッカー一つを借りました。大きな手提げが二つくらい入るサイズで、一つ借りてしまえば、何度でも出し入れできるので、借りることをお勧めします。大きいロッカーは１８ドルでした。また更衣室はシャワールームが４つほど、カーテン付き更衣室が８つほどありました。
　大人はもちろんのこと、家族連れの方も子供用のプールもあったため、楽しめると思います。のんびり海も素敵ですがスリリングな経験もしたいという方はぜひ、参加してみてください。

I was nervous at first during my first snorkeling experience. However, I will never forget the excitement and surprise of seeing the dolphins! I want to see those beautiful dolphins underwater again.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、初めは緊張しました。でも、イルカを見た瞬間の感動と驚きは忘れません！美し過ぎるイルカをもう一度海の中で見たいです。

My first time in Hawaii,
I participated with my husband, feeling excited.
The Japanese-speaking guide, the beautiful sunrise, the clear ocean,
wild dolphins, sea turtles, and rays.
Everything became the best memory.
The crew was all very friendly,
and you could feel the teamwork.
I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even for those who usually don’t get seasick!
There was someone who looked like they were struggling in a sitting position on the boat, saying, "I’ve never been seasick before..." with teary eyes. Better safe than sorry!
After all, we’re dealing with wild dolphins.
Of course, there are times when you might not see them.
However, no tour guarantees that you will see wild dolphins.
It seemed like it was a tough day for us too,
and we didn’t see them much, but we still had a great time otherwise, so I was very satisfied.
The guide, Tairiku, was really funny!
I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii.

初めてのハワイ、
ドキドキしながら夫婦で参加しました。
日本語でのガイド、綺麗な朝日、透き通る海、
野生のイルカとウミガメにエイ。
何をとっても最高の思い出になりました。
クルーの方もみんなとっても仲良し、
チームワークを感じます。
「いつも、船酔いしないから大丈夫」という人でも念のため酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします！
キラキラの海の中、終始、船の中で辛そうに体育座りをしている人が「酔った事なかったのに…」と涙目でした。念には念を！
相手は野生のイルカです。
もちろん会えない時もあります。
ですがどこのツアーも野生のイルカに会える事を確約するツアーではないです。
私達の時も難しい日だったらしく
あまり会えませんでしたがそれ以外でも楽しませてもらえたので大満足です。
ガイドのタイリクさんとっても面白い方でした！
ハワイに行く時はまた必ず参加します。

I applied from Japan and was looking forward to it. However, the pickup scheduled for 9:00 did not arrive even after 20 minutes, and after confirming by phone, we waited another 20 minutes. The pickup finally arrived 40 minutes late. Moreover, the staff who came to pick us up didn't apologize at all and had an attitude as if to say, "Hurry up!" After arriving at the pool, we were inexplicably made to wait for nearly 15 minutes on the bus, which was extremely frustrating. How about improving your timing and organization a bit? I won't be using this service again.

日本から申し込みをして、楽しみにしてました。
ただ９時にピックアップの予定が２０分過ぎても迎えが来ず、電話確認をしてからさらに２０分。
迎えが来たのは予定時間より４０分も遅れてのこと。
しかも迎えに来たスタッフは一言も謝りもせず、急げょ！みたいな態度。
プールに到着してからもバスの中で何故か１５分近くも待たされイライラもピークです。
もう少し時間や体制を改善したらいかがでしょう？
次はもう使用しません。

It was tough to gather early in the morning, but I heard that the best time to see dolphins is in the early morning, so I persevered.
As a reward for my efforts, I was moved to see so many dolphins! They swam close to us multiple times.
The crew was entertaining and amazing! The hula dance was also fun.
The hamburger after swimming with the dolphins was exceptional!

早朝で集合が早く大変でしたがイルカを見るなら早朝が良いと聞き頑張りました。
頑張ったご褒美♡イルカがたくさん見れ感動！何度も近くを泳いでくれました。
クルーの人たちを面白く最高！フラダンスも楽しかったです。
イルカと泳いだ後のハンバーガーは格別でした！

In late November, the water temperature was a bit low, so I rented a wetsuit. Since it was morning, I think I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I hadn't worn one (^_^;) The guide, who spoke fluent Japanese, and the other staff members were all bright and friendly.

After heading out to sea for a while, we were able to encounter a lot of dolphins right away! We watched quietly without making any noise to avoid startling them. There was a briefing beforehand about the precautions when encountering dolphins and turtles. I thought it was wonderful that they showed consideration for the wildlife. We also saw about 3 or 4 turtles and around 4 rays. Plus, we even saw a double rainbow!ヽ(^0^)ﾉ

After that, we played on the slide from the boat and kayaked, then enjoyed hamburgers to wrap up the tour. I was just a bit hungry, so it was appreciated. Additionally, a group photo of everyone was sent via email, which I thought was a nice service.

The highlight of this tour is not just seeing dolphins from the boat, but being able to see wild dolphins up close! My first trip to Hawaii turned out to be a wonderful experience (*^o^*). I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

11月後半で、水温は少し低めなので、ウェットスーツをレンタルしました。朝ということもあり、しなかったら寒くて楽しめなかったと思います(^_^;)
流暢な日本語を話すガイドさんをはじめ、他のスタッフの方も明るく親切な方ばかりでした。

沖の方に出てしばらくするとすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会う事ができました！驚かさないよう、音をたてずにじーっと見ました。
事前に、イルカとカメに出会った時の注意事項の説明がありました。野生の生き物に対する配慮もあり、素晴らしい思いました。
そして、カメも3、4匹、エイも4匹ほど見ることが出来ました。あと、ダブルレインボーもヽ(^0^)ﾉ

その後、船からの滑り台やカヤックなどで遊んで、ハンバーガーをいただきツアー終了。ちょうど小腹がすいていたので有り難かったです。
あと、全員の集合写真がメールで送られてきていて、それも良いサービスだなと思いました。

船からイルカを見るのではなく、野生のイルカを間近に見れるのがこのツアーのポイントですね！
初ハワイ、素敵な旅行になりました(*^o^*)
友達にもすすめたいと思いました。

Last year, I came to meet dolphins for the first time and was moved to see a pod of dozens of them. When I decided to go to Hawaii this year, I immediately thought I absolutely wanted to go again and planned my schedule accordingly for the day.

The weather was great, the sea was calm, and we all expressed our gratitude to the ocean as the boat headed to Makua Beach, where we spotted dolphins jumping in the distance! Following our guide, we entered the water, and dozens of dolphins came to greet us. Among them were baby dolphins, and although I felt a bit torn not to stress them out, we moved on to the next beach for snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and enjoying the slide and trampoline.

For lunch, the captain grilled hamburgers on the boat, which were delicious. After enjoying a leisurely meal, our guide Saki introduced everyone again, and we all danced together. Even on the way back to the harbor, the staff entertained us with ukulele and hula, which I found impressive. Everyone enjoyed the tour with smiles and without getting bored.

It seems that swimming with dolphins is becoming more challenging, and I hope it continues in the future. I want to participate again next time, and I hope to capture the expressions of the dolphins.

昨年、初めてイルカに会いに来て、数十頭の群れに会えた感動を、今年、HAWAIIに行く事をきめた段階で、最初に今年も絶対に行きたいと思いスケジュールを組み、当日を迎えました。

天気も上々、海は凪、海への感謝をみんなで唱えボートは、マクアビーチへ、遠くでジャンプしているイルカを発見！！
ガイドさんに続いて海へ、数十頭のイルカが会いにきてくれました。
中には、こどものイルカも、ストレスをかけないように、後ろ髪ひかれながらも次のビーチで、シュノーケリング、パドルボート、カヤック、すべり台にトランポリンとそれぞれに楽しみ
ランチは、キャプテンが船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーに舌鼓
のんびり食事を楽しんだあとは、

ガイドのSAKIさんが、改めて紹介しながらゲストのみんなも一緒にダンスをしたり、
港に戻る間もスタッフが、ウクレレやフラで楽しませてくれるサービス精神は感心しました。
みんな飽きることなく笑顔でツアーを楽しでいました。

イルカと泳ぐことが、厳しくなっている現実があるようで、なんとか今後も続いて欲しいし、
また次回参加したいし、
今度は、イルカの表情を写してみたいと思ってます。

This was my first time participating in a tour alone. I was very anxious, but swimming with dolphins had been a dream of mine for many years, so I decided to go for it!
The result... it was amazing!
Since I was participating alone, not being able to take photos and not having someone to talk to were drawbacks, but the tour guide, who was also a photographer, came over multiple times to take pictures and chat with me. Additionally, the other participants were very kind, making it a fun experience!
Also, it seemed there were many cancellations, so instead of the usual 40 people, there were only 9 of us, which was fantastic!
I can't wait to return home and look at the photos!

初めての1人でのツアー参加。とても不安でしたが、イルカと泳ぐ事が長年の夢だったので、思い切って参加しました！
結果…最高でした^ ^
1人での参加だったので、写真が撮れない事と、喋る相手がいない事がネックだったのですが、写真はツアーガイド兼カメラマンの方が何度も話しかけて撮りに来てくださり、また他の参加者の方もとっても優しくて、楽しい参加になりました♩
また、キャンセルが多かったみたいで、普段40人ほどのところを9人しかいなかったのも最高でした^ ^
早く帰国して写真を見るのが楽しみです♩

I woke up early in the morning. When I arrived at the meeting place, the energetic staff welcomed us. We took a bus to the harbor. I think a wetsuit is necessary for this time of year, as everyone who participated borrowed one. I wanted the data, so I purchased it for about $40. I recommend bringing at least a little money. From the harbor, we boarded a boat and set off on a dolphin search. During the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. Following the captain's instructions, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Everyone gathered together to snorkel. It was thrilling to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. However, the cold was more than I expected, and the rocking of the boat when getting back on caused unexpected seasickness. I dove twice, but for the third time, I waited on the boat. A few others also experienced seasickness. It was really disappointing. If I hadn't gotten seasick, I could have enjoyed the sea a bit more. I could have gone on the waterslide too... The staff were all nice. Many on the bus were fast asleep. It's a pity that the data I received didn't have many photos from snorkeling. I guess you have to actively ask for them to get good shots. This turned out to be a good memory, though. If only I hadn't gotten seasick...!!!!

朝は早起きでした。集合場所で待っていれば威勢の良いスタッフがお迎えに。バスに乗り、船場へ。ウェットスーツは時期的に必要だと思います。参加されていた方皆さんが借りていました。データが欲しかったのでたしか＄40で購入。お金は最低限持って行った方がいいと思います。船場から船に乗り、イルカ探しの旅へ。船で移動中にも数頭のイルカの群れと遭遇で感動。キャプテンの指示でポイントに到着。ゲストみんなで固まってシュノーケル。イルカとウミガメをまじかに見れて感動。ただ、思った以上の寒さとシュノーケルから船に上がる時の揺れでまさかの船酔い。2回ダイブしましたが、3回目は船の上で待ってました。自分以外にも数人船酔いしてました。もう本当にショックでした。船酔いしなければもうちょっと海で遊べたのに。ウォータースライダーも出来たのに・・・。スタッフは皆さん良い人でした。かなりのバスは皆さん爆睡。もらったデータはシュノーケルでの写真があまりなかったのは残念。たぶん積極的に声をかけていかないと撮ってくれません。これはこれで良い思い出になったのか。
船酔いしなければ・・・！！！！

We were blessed with great weather, and thanks to the very cheerful staff, we had a truly enjoyable day. Swimming with wild dolphins and sea turtles felt like a dream come true. They organized various events on the boat to keep us entertained, which was a lot of fun. The hamburgers were also very delicious!

I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Thank you very much!

お天気にも恵まれ、とても陽気なスタッフの皆さまのお蔭でとっても楽しい一日になりました。
野生のイルカにウミガメと共に泳げて本当に夢のような時間でした。
船の上でも退屈しないよう、いろいろなイベントをしていただきとても楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーもとてもおいしかったです♪

次回ハワイに来る時もまた参加したいと思います！
本当に有難うございました！

It was quite difficult to find dolphins, but sitting at the front of the boat and searching for them felt like an attraction, and it was fun! Along the way, we were able to see flying fish gliding about 100 meters horizontally! When we finally found the dolphins and jumped into the sea to swim with them, it was exhilarating! There was also a sea turtle floating right next to us, so we got to swim with the turtle too. I learned a lot about the origins of Oahu and had a really great time!

なかなかイルカが見つからなかったのですが、アトラクション気分で船の先端に座ってのイルカ探しも楽しかったです♩
途中100mくらいを水平に飛ぶトビウオを見ることもできました！
イルカが見つかって、海に飛び込んで、一緒に泳げた時は大興奮！
すぐ側にただようウミガメがいたので、ウミガメとも一緒に泳げました♡
オアフの起源など、色々教えていただき、本当に楽しかったです^ ^

I could only see the dolphins for a moment. The Japanese guide was quite unique (not very friendly). Considering this content, I wonder if the price is high...

イルカは一瞬はしか見られなかった。日本人ガイドが独特な方でした（親切ではない）
この内容でこの値段は高いかなと…

My husband and I booked this excursion while we were in Hawaii for our honeymoon. unfortunately, it was very cloudy and didn't get much of a sunset but the views of the island were beautiful. To make the adventure even better- throughout our sail we were visited by spinner dolphins. Absolutely amazing!
We would recommend to anyone!

I found it a bit unpleasant to be talked to and pushed while feeling sleepy in the morning, but I was satisfied with the enthusiasm for seeing dolphins and actually getting to see them! It would have been better if there were fewer people, though. It felt quite crowded.

やはり朝寝むいなかの喋りと押されたのはちょっと嫌でしたがイルカを見るための熱意とイルカ見れたがみれたことで満足でした！ただ人数もうちょっと少ないと良かったです。芋洗い状態でした。

Swimming with dolphins has always been my dream, and I was finally able to go to Dolphin University this time!! The weather was perfect, and even though I thought it would be cold in October, I was totally fine without a wetsuit! I was so excited on the bus, and when we finally got to the ocean… right after leaving the port, we saw a huge pod of dolphins＼(^o^)／ Everyone came together to chase the dolphins, searching "toward the mountains, toward the sea." It seemed like almost all the dolphins in Oahu gathered that day, with reports of around 200 dolphins present(^^). Both my husband and I agreed that our honeymoon at Dolphin University was the most fun! However, I do regret not buying the photos(´・ω・`).

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、今回念願のイルカ大学に行くことができました!!
当日は快晴で10月に入り寒いかと思ったけれど、ウエットスーツを着なくても全然大丈夫でした！
行きのバスからウキウキで、いざ海に出ると…
港から出てすぐにイルカの大群が＼(^o^)／
皆で一丸となりイルカを追いかけ、「山の方ー、海の方ー」とみんなで探し。
その日はオアフにいるイルカがほとんど集まってくれたみたいで、200頭はいたと言われました(^^)
私も旦那さんも、今回のハネームーンはイルカ大学が一番楽しかった！
ただ、後悔は写真買っとけばよかったー(´・ω・`)
