All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

It seems that the day we went was a holiday, and there were a lot of locals, making it quite crowded. As a result, we had to wait over 30 minutes for all the attractions, and we stood in a long line for 30 minutes just to order lunch at the food court. If you plan to go, it's better to visit on a weekday.

Here are the details:
1. Pickup at each hotel by large bus. We departed from the Hilton at 9 AM, and it took an hour to go around all the hotels.
2. It took 30 minutes from the last hotel to Wet 'n' Wild.
3. Upon arrival, a staff member will guide you for entry.
4. Coin lockers are small and cost $15 (you get $5 back when you return the key). They are regular lockers that you can open and close multiple times, so you don’t need to carry cash for lunch.
5. There are a total of 9 slides, 4 of which are thrill rides. Even adults can enjoy them.
6. There is also a wave pool, but renting floaties is an additional charge.
7. There was a warm jacuzzi available (a good place to rest if you get tired).
8. There are few shower rooms and changing rooms. In particular, the changing room had no shelves for bags, only hooks, which was a bit of a hassle.
9. The bus departure time is around 3 PM. Since my wife and I didn’t play on the slides, we had plenty of time.

The facilities are old, but overall, I think it’s not a bad water park. However, I felt that there were too few employees, which made things slow and wasted time.

Since using the shuttle takes unnecessary time, I recommend going by rental car.

私達が行った日は祝日だったようで、地元の人たちが沢山来ていて、すごい混みようでした。
そのため、すべてのアトラクションが30分以上待ち、フードコートでランチを頼むのも
長蛇の列で30分並びました。もし行く時は平日に行く方が良いでしょう。
それでは詳細です。
①大型バスで各ホテルにてピックアップ
　私達はヒルトンで９時出発、全部のホテルを回るのに1時間かかりました。
②最後のホテル～ウェット＆ワイルドまで30分
③到着したら係りの人が入場案内をしてくれます。
④コインロッカーは小＄15（カギ返却時に＄5却ってきます）
　普通のロッカーで何度も開け閉め出来るので、ランチのお金などを
　持って歩く必要はありません。
⑤スライダー系は全部で9つ、そのうち絶叫系は4つ。大人でも十分楽しめました。
⑥波のプールもありますが、浮き輪レンタルは有料です。
⑦温かいジャグジーもありました。（疲れたらそこで休憩）
⑧シャワールーム・更衣室は少ないです。
　特に更衣室は荷物を置く台がなく、フックしかなかったので苦労しました。
⑨バスの集合時間は15時頃
　私達夫婦はスライダー以外では遊んでいないため十分な時間でした。

設備は古いですが全体的には悪くないウォーターパークだと思いますが、
従業員が少ないため、回転が遅く時間がもったいないと感じました。

送迎にすると無駄な時間がかかるので、レンタカーで行くのをオススメします。

I participated with my boyfriend. The transportation was a large tour bus, and we were staying at the Princess Kaiulani, but the meeting place was at the Hyatt, so it was very close, which was great. Most of the participants were Japanese. However, we were about 15 minutes late for the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. The day I went was clear and very hot, perfect for the pool. As soon as we arrived, we rented a locker to store our belongings. It was prepaid (about $19), and we could open and close it anytime. When we returned the key, we received about $5 back. The facility had a wave pool and many water slides, and we used all of them. The slides were very thrilling and enjoyable, even for adults. We got completely soaked with water all over our faces and bodies, but it was perfect because it was so hot. For lunch, I had a cheeseburger, which was very delicious. However, it seems that popular items sell out quickly. We had a really fun time.

彼氏と二人で参加しました。送迎は大きな観光バスで、私達はプリンセスカイウラニに宿泊していましたが、集合場所はハイアットだったので、非常に
近くてよかったです。日本人がほとんどでした。ただ、集合時間より15分くらい遅れていたので、少し不安になりました。私が行った日は快晴でとても暑くて、

This was my second visit to Wet 'n' Wild. It's a bit far from Waikiki, so this tour was helpful. The place is clean, and I really enjoyed the lunch buffet, which you can eat in your swimsuit and has a great variety.

ウェット・アンド・ワイルドは２度目の訪問でした。
ワイキキから少し離れた所にあるので、このツアーは助かります。
清潔感があり、ボリューム的にも大満足の水着のままで食べられるランチブッフェもお気に入りです。

Since the tour from Waikiki returns around 3 PM, we decided to go by rental car. We arrived early, so we stopped by the nearby Target before heading to our destination. When I showed the Veltra voucher at the reception, they directed me to a less crowded window for check-in.

On the day of our visit, some attractions were closed, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. However, from around 3 PM, when the tour groups left, the crowd significantly decreased, and we were able to enjoy the attractions without any wait. Just a note, the thrilling slides require climbing stairs, which can be quite tiring. We stayed from opening to closing time and had a great day.

Nearby, there are places like Target, Costco, Safeway, Big K, and Walmart, so it’s fun to stop for shopping on your way back.

ワイキキからのツアーだと、15時頃帰ってしまう為、レンタカーにて行きました。
早く着いてしまったので、近くにあるターゲットに寄ってから行きました。
受付でベルトラのバウチャーを見せたら、「こちらへ来て下さい」とすいている窓口で受け付けしてくれました。
当日、一部アトラクションが閉鎖されていて少しだけ物足りなさを感じました。
ツアーの団体客が帰る15時頃から極端に人が減り、待ち時間なく遊べました。
ただ、スリルのあるスライダーは階段をのぼらないといけないので結構疲れます。
開園～閉園時間までいましたが、一日楽しめました。

近くには、ターゲット、コストコ、セーフウェイ、BIG・K、ウォルマート等があり、帰りがけショッピングに寄るのも面白いですよ。

I participated with my two children.
We were amazed by the size!
We had a blast screaming with excitement on the slides we had never seen before.
The kids were sliding non-stop, barely taking a break for lunch! We had a great time.
We were also very satisfied with our first experience on the bodyboard!
They are all saying they want to go again next time!

子供2人と参加しました。
あまりの大きさにビックリ！
見たことのないスライダーにドキドキしながらも大絶叫で楽しみました(^^)
子供達はランチもそこそこにすべりまくりでした！かなり楽しみました。
初めてのボディボードにも大満足でした！
次回も又行きたいと声をそろえて言ってます！

Reservation number #2194069. In the response on March 22, the campaign discount was -$43.04, and the billed amount was $462.98 (57,015 yen), but this month's card charge was 64,970 yen. The fun memories are turning blue. I am waiting for a satisfactory answer after investigation.

I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and various fish. I was able to swim much closer than I imagined, so I was very satisfied. The boat ride was a bit long, so it's better to have motion sickness medication. There were quite a few people feeling unwell.

イルカだけでなくウミガメや様々な魚とも泳げました。
想像以上に近いところを泳げたので、
大満足です。船の乗船時間が少し長いので酔い止めはあったほうがいいです。ダウンしてる人がけっこういました。

This is the most amazing amusement park I have ever been to!!!
We went there with friends (in total 4 people) and were worried about that there might not be any attractions for 4 people but almost all are designed for more than 2 or 4 people and have lots of fun!!!
Usually I don't like too much scary ones but the attraction here are of course scary enough but much more fun:) We tried all attractions and rode them more than twice!!! Especially, "Shaka"! This is soooooo much fun!
You should ride it backwards if you wanna feel lots of fears.
At first, we thought we should spend more time at the beach because here is Hawaii which has lots of nice and beautiful beaches, but this amusement park blew this kind of thoughts completely!!!
We will defenately come back here the next time as well!!!!!!!!!!

We participated with our family of four (grades 4 and 2) during Golden Week. I had a lot of worries, like waking up early, whether we would get seasick, and if we would really see dolphins, but I gradually relaxed thanks to the guide's high energy. (I didn't feel seasick at all.)

We saw dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly moving. I wanted to swim with them forever. We also encountered turtles and fish. The kids were able to swim with the crew members and had a great time. Even after returning to Japan, we are still excited looking at the photos we purchased.

The experience was definitely worth the price. I would love to participate again on our next trip to Hawaii.

GWに 家族四人(小４、小２)で参加しました。
朝も早いし 船酔いしないか 本当にイルカに会えるのかとか、不安がたくさんでしたが、ガイドさんのハイテンションにつられ、だんだんリラックスできました。(船酔いも全くなかった)
イルカには 出港後 すぐに会えました。もう、本当に感動でした。ずっと泳いでいたかったです。
カメやお魚も会えました。子供たちも クルーの方に付き添って泳いでもらえ 充分楽しめましたし、日本に帰ってからも 購入した写真を見て 興奮してます。
価格なりの価値は充分ありました。次回のハワイでも 是非参加したいと思ってます。

I participated in Dolphin University for the first time. The conditions were perfect, and it was an amazing tour where I could swim with a pod of dolphins and sea turtles.

初めて参加したイルカ大学。コンディションも最高でイルカの群れや海亀と一緒に泳ぐ事が出来る最高のツアーです。

At first, I thought, "Is this really Hawaii?" because it felt different from the atmosphere in Honolulu. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and I had a blast mingling with the local Hawaiians! The four hours flew by, and we played non-stop, taking breaks only for lunch! There were so many slides that you can't find in Japan, and we tried them all! Among them, the Raging River was the most fun! Since it accommodates 4 to 6 people, my friend and I always shared a ride. The speed of the slide changes depending on the total weight of the riders, so it felt like we were on a different ride every time, and it was super, super, super fun!! In the end, we all high-fived! We were all one in spirit! We rode it four times☆ Since there were few Japanese people, it was really enjoyable to have fun on the same rides with local Hawaiians and foreigners!

There was also a relaxing space! The jacuzzi♪ The hot tub was just the right temperature, and it felt amazing! It was an unexpectedly lucky experience to be able to soak in hot water in Hawaii♪

When you think of Hawaii, you might picture the ocean, but this pool offers a different kind of fun compared to the sea in Honolulu! I highly recommend it for slide lovers~♪

ホノルルの雰囲気とは違って、ここはほんとにハワイ？？って最初は思いましたが、日本人は周りにはほとんどおらず地元のハワイアンたちに紛れて大はしゃぎしました！あっという間の4時間、ランチ以外は休憩を取らず夢中で遊びました！日本にはないたくさんのスライダーがあって全部挑戦しました！中でもレイジングリバーが最高に楽しかった！4～6人乗りのため、2人で遊びに行った私たちはいつも相乗り。メンバーの体重の合計によってスライダーの勢いが変わるため何回乗っても違う乗り物に乗ってるみたいで超、超、チョ~楽しかった！！最後は皆でハイタッチ！皆ココロは一つ！4回も乗りました☆日本人も少ないので地元のハワイアンや外国の方と同じ乗り物で大はしゃぎできたのでそういう交流もとっても楽しかったです！

癒し空間もありました！ジャグジーです♪湯船が超しくなっていたため、温度も適温で最高に気持ちがよかった！ハワイでお湯につかることができるなんて予想外にラッキーな体験となりました♪

ハワイといえば海というイメージですが、このプールにはホノルルの海とはまた別の楽しさがあります！スライダー好きの方、おすすめします～♪

I was able to see dolphins much closer than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I enjoyed the other activities as well. I think it was a well-organized program, and the guide was very skilled. However, if I go again, I might choose the dolphin school because I would like more time with the dolphins. You can purchase photos, but at $60 for a photo where I'm not really in it, I think I might skip it next time. This time, I'm satisfied with the photos of the dolphins I saw.

想像していたよりずっと近くでイルカを見ることができ、大満足です。
残念ながら海亀を見ることはできませんでしたが、その他のアクティビティも楽しめました。
よく出来たプログラムだと思います。ガイドさんもとても上手でした。
ただ、次回行くことがあれば、イルカの時間がもっと欲しいので、イルカ中学の方にしようかなと思います。
写真を購入できますが、あまり自分が写っていないのに60ドルと言うなかなかのお値段なので、次は買わなくても良いかなと思います。今回は自分が見たイルカの写真と言うことで納得していますが。

This is my second time visiting Wet'n'Wild! Four years ago, I came with my boyfriend and this time I visited the park with my friends. One thing that I am impressed is that they improved the food quality. The water park was not too crowded and the line-ups weren't too long, so we didn't have to wait too long for the rides. Our favorite rides are the Torando and Shaka. They are both exciting and FUN! We also enjoyed the Wave pool. The lifeguards are all very responsible. We were a bit disappointed because two rides are under construction. But, we are looking forward to trying the new rides next time we visit. We would definitely recommend Wet'n'Wild for your vacation, especially for families with small children.

We participated as a couple. The transportation was provided by two large tour buses, mostly filled with Japanese people. The staff for the transportation were older Japanese descendants, and they were kind enough to take photos for us at the entrance gate.

Inside, the main attractions were water slides, but there were also activities like a rubber boat competition in a skateboarding pipe and a slide that resembled a mattress, which was tunnel-shaped. You wouldn't realize where you were going until you ended up splashed with water, making it a lot of fun.

For the boat activities, there are weight restrictions, and some cannot be ridden alone, but since there were many Japanese people, you can share rides. The instructions were provided in Japanese, and announcements were also made, so it was reassuring. What impressed me the most was the bodyboarding experience in the wave pool, where the instructor was earnestly helping each child to ride the waves one-on-one. Even though we don't have children, it was heartwarming to watch them celebrate when they succeeded.

It seems that new attractions will be available after May, so those planning to go might have an even more enjoyable experience. However, the food cannot be described as delicious. There are plans that include BBQ, but we chose to buy food inside. Since outside food is not allowed, we had to settle for what was sold inside, which was simply bad and overpriced. Just think of it as something to fill your stomach.

That said, before we knew it, it was time to head back. It’s a facility where you can have a full day of fun.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
送迎は大きな観光バスで2台分で日本人がほとんどでした。送迎の方は年配の日系の方ですが、親切で入場ゲートでの記念撮影など写真を撮ってくれたりしていただきました。
中はスライダー系のものがメインですが、スケボーのパイプ競技をゴムボートでやるものや
マットレス見たいなものを敷いて滑るスライダーはトンネル状になっていて自分が何処に行くにか？気がついたら水しぶきと共に終わってたという感じで楽しいです。
ボート系の物は体重制限など、一人で乗れない物もありますが、そこは日本人も多いので相乗り出来ます。説明も日本語書き且つ、放送も流れていますから安心です。何より感心したのは
波の出るプールでボディボードの体験講習をやっていたのですが、インストラクターさんが一生懸命に小さい児に上手く波に乗らせてあげようと一人、一人にマンツーマンでやっており
上手く乗れたら一緒になって喜んでいたのには、うちには子供はいませんが、ほのぼのと見ていられました。
この5月以降は新しいアトラクションも出来るそうですので、これから行かれる方はもっと楽しい経験が出来るかも？
ただ、食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えないです。BBQなどが付いたプランもある様ですが、
私達は中で買う形を選びました。持ち込み不可ですから、必然的に中で売ってる物になるにですが、とにかく不味い!うえに高いです。お腹に入れるだけと思って下さい。
とは言え、あっという間に帰りの時間になりました。一日十分に楽しめる施設です。

I went to Wet'n'Wild on a Saturday during Golden Week. It's about the same scale as Nagashima Spa Land in Mie. The kids' pool had slides and was quite enjoyable, but it seemed like many of the other slides were closed for use. The highlight was the wave pool. Unlike Japanese pools, there wasn't much consideration for safety, and the strong waves could be quite overwhelming for young children. Since they were wearing life jackets, I wasn't too worried, but the kids were enjoying themselves according to their ages.

I want to say I was completely satisfied, but if I had to point out something, it would be that there were quite a few slides under construction, so I'll deduct one point for that. Overall, I felt very satisfied!

ゴールデンウィークの土曜日にウェット&ワイルドに行きました。三重のナガシマスパーランドと規模的には同じくらいかな。子供プールはスライダーもあり、かなり楽しめていましたが、その他のスライダーは、結構使用禁止が多かったように思います。圧巻は波のプール。日本のプールのような気遣いは無く、めちゃめちゃ強い波が幼児を襲います。ライフジャケット着用だったので、心配はしてませんでしたが、子供たちは年齢の応じて、相応の楽しみ方をしていました。
大満足！と言いたいところですが、敢えていうなら、工事中のスライダーが多かったことで、減点1ですかね。気持ちは大満足でした。

From meeting Sarah in the office to touring with Bob the helicopter pilot, everything was terrific. Bob was informative during the tour pointing out things of interest and made sure that passengers on both sides could see. My sister and I took our 86 year old mother to accomplish an item on her bucket list. She loved it!

I participated due to my wife's wish to swim with dolphins. Although I was somewhat anxious because of the strong winds, I was very satisfied to see them twice. I think the guide did a great job of keeping everyone engaged and having fun. I was worried about seasickness despite taking medication in advance, but perhaps because there were two boats, the rocking was less than I imagined, and it was okay.

イルカと泳いでみたいという家内の希望で参加しました。風が強く多少不安がありましたが、2度も見ることが出来て大変満足でした。ガイドの方も皆が楽しめるよう盛り上げてくれてとても良かったと思います。薬は予め飲んでも船酔いはやはり不安でしたが、二艘船のためか想像より揺れは少なく大丈夫でした。

My wife and I were staying in Waikiki for a week and everyone said we need to make a trip to the North Shore when on Oahu. We scoured Trip Advisor, Yelp and other Hawaii Adventure sites and this one looked appealing. Turns out to be a great deal if you are looking for transportation to the North Shore and a variety of options to choose from once you get there. We chose to snorkel in the mornng at Sharks Cove then spend an hour at Waimea Bay, then in the afternoon we did the SUP down the river in Halewia.
The tour is setup where they pick you up on a ~20 person bus from multiple Waikiki hotels, then up a narrated drive up to the North Shore which took about 1 1/2 hours all together. Sam was our host for the day and is awesome at his job. Very knowledgable, humourous and makes the tour a good time. Once you are there, you get to see the options for the day such as hanging at the beach of Waimea Bay, surfing, snorkeling, beach bike cruise, Waimea Botanical Gardens, stand up paddle boarding and probably a few others options that I am missing. There is no additional cost to do these unless you want to do more than two. If there was one draw back for the day, it was that we could have enjoyed a few more hours on the beach and shopping at the local surf shops there.
Overall, great trip and glad we did it!

During the New Year's holiday, I participated with my two 9-year-old daughters. As a basic point, Hawaii is cold during this time! On this day, with a maximum daytime temperature of 23°C, it took courage just to dip our feet in the pool. It's unthinkable to get into a pool in Japan at 23°C. But since we were there, we gradually mustered the courage to get in, and once we did, it was manageable. However, getting out was incredibly cold. But we had so much fun that it made us forget the chill!

There were slides for both kids and adults, and we didn't have to wait in line at all. We had all-inclusive tickets, but it was too cold to feel thirsty, so the unlimited drinks weren't necessary. As for lunch, there were a few Japanese options, but the buffet was cold and not recommended. Non-Japanese guests were purchasing lunch from the snack bar, which I remember wasn't too expensive and looked warm and delicious!

The boogie board class was also included. However, due to the cold, I wasn't inclined to participate, but when the staff saw the mark on my arm, they encouraged me to join, and I reluctantly did. To my surprise, it was incredibly fun! The instructor taught us the points for catching waves, and it was the best experience. There is only one spot for catching waves. The point where the instructor is riding is the only place to catch waves, so be sure to pay attention to their movements to find the right spot.

お正月休みで9才の娘ふたりで参加しました。
キホンとしてハワイもこの時期は寒い！！日中の最高気温で23℃のこの日、足をプールに入れるだけでも勇気が必要な程でした。日本で23℃でプールに入ることはあり得ないですから。でも来てしまったからにはと足、腰と徐々に気合いを入れて、入ってしまえばなんとかなります。
でも上がるとものっすごく寒いです。しかしこの寒さを吹き飛ばすほど楽しんです！
こども用から大人も楽しめるスライダーまで、しかも並ぶことはありませんでした。
All Inclusiveのチケットでしたが、寒くて喉はまったく乾きませんから飲み放題は必要なし、ランチは日本人？が少しだけ、ブッフェは冷えていてお勧めできません。日本人以外は売店でランチを購入してました。そんなに高くなかった覚えがあり、しかも温かくて美味しそうでした！
ブギボ教室も含まれていました。こちらは寒さの余り参加するきにならず見ていると、腕に付けたマークを見たスタッフが参加できるからやってみろと誘われ渋々参加したところ、驚く程の面白さ。先生が波のポイントを教えてくれて波に乗ることもでき最高でした。波のポイントはたった1カ所だけです。先生が乗っているところがポインで、そこ以外は乗れませんので先生の動きに注意してポイント探してみて下さい。

My wife and me were at Wet’n’Wind in April 2015. It was an amazing day for us and we will do it again on our next trip to Hawaii! There are green, yellow and red attractions so that everyone can find some good option. We enjoyed the half-pipe (the world’s widest one!). Food is very nice and not expensive at all. Moreover, Wet’n’Wild is not too crowded. We spent not more than 7-8 minutes in the lines and easily found free chaise-longues. In addition, my wife enjoyed swimming in the pool with artificial waves! In the afternoon we found a waterfall where you can swim and take beautiful pictures. The water park has a huge zone for children with a plenty of entertainments for them. We definitely recommend Wet’nWind for your vacation, especially for families with small children. So much fun! And do not forget using sunscreen because the sun is very strong at the water park.

I won't forget the excitement of being close to the dolphins, but I also won't forget the wonderful view of the mountains from the sea! It became a great memory with the kids ❤️

イルカがすく近くにいたときの感動も、忘れませんが、海から見た山々の景色の素晴らしさも忘れません！子供達とのいい思い出になりました❤️

Had a fantastic day. We got really close to a family of hump back whales and some dolphins as well. The crew were so nice and friendly made us feel really welcome. This was our second time on the Kai Oli Oli. We had such a good time the first time, this time we bought our family along for the experience.Well worth it!!

We had a great experience with Paradise Helicopter. The guide was great and we felt safe throughout the ride. We did a 10 min ride of North Shore and that was good for us as the most fun is taking off and landing. Our 4 yr old son enjoyed it very much. Would def recommend!

This theme park has been on my mind since my trip to Hawaii! We decided to go this time mainly due to my husband's strong request.

When we arrived, I was worried it might get cold with the wind, but the sun came out, which was a relief. Unlike theme parks in Japan, we were able to enjoy the slides while wearing sunglasses and water shoes. There were many people barefoot in the park, but it's best to bring water shoes that you can wear the whole time since the ground gets really hot.

I was really looking forward to the slides, but to be honest, I underestimated them... I thought I would be quite good at them, but they were pretty thrilling! The Shaka slide felt like being in a halfpipe, the Island Racer had me floating at one point, and the Tornado really tossed me around, making me scream a lot.

One downside is that you have to carry your own tube (float) from the bottom to the top! This might help keep the crowds down, but there are quite a few stairs, so I saw some people out of breath. Also, it seemed like there were a lot of families.

Since we were mainly there to play, we didn't have lunch. From what I saw at the stalls, the prices seemed a bit high. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some anti-nausea medication just in case.

The small lockers are $15, which is quite expensive, but I think it's better to rent one for safety and peace of mind. You get $5 back when you return the key and receipt.

We played from around 10:30 to 2:00 and ended up exhausted. If you're confident in your stamina, I definitely recommend checking it out!

以前ハワイに行った時から気になっていたこのテーマパーク！特に主人からの強い要望で今回行くことにしました。
着いた時は風が吹いていて寒くなるかもと心配していましたが太陽が出てひと安心。
日本のテーマパークとは違いサングラスやマリンシューズを履いたままスライダーを楽しむことができました。
パーク内では裸足の人も多いですが、できればずっと履いてられるマリンシューズを持っていくといいです。地面が暑すぎるので。
楽しみにしていたスライダーですが、はっきり言って舐めてました…、結構得意だと思っていたのにかなりのスリルがあります！
シャカはハーフパイプをしているような感覚になるし、アイランドレーサーは途中で浮いたし、トルネードもかなり振られて絶叫しまくりでした。
難点は、専用チューブ（浮き輪）を自分達で下から上まで持って行かなければいけないところですね！
それのお陰でそこまで混まないのかもしれませんが、階段が結構あるので息切れしてる人もいました。あと、家族連れが多かった気がします。
遊ぶ方がメインだったのでランチはしませんでした。売店を見た感じではお高めな値段設定なのかなと思いました。
私は乗り物酔いをしやすいので酔い止めも一応飲みました。
ロッカーは小で15ドルとすごい高いですが安心安全の為に借りた方が良いと思いますよ。返す時にカギとレシートを渡すと5ドル返ってきます。
10時半くらいから14時まで遊んでいましたがヘトヘトになってしまいました。
体力に自信のある方は是非一度行ってみてください！

It can be cold when you get back on the boat after swimming with the dolphins, depending on the season! Also, you shouldn't expect too much from the lunch burgers. That said, I had a great time and would love to go again!

季節によりますが、イルカと泳いだ後、船にあがったときは寒いです！
また、昼食のハンバーガーはあまり期待しないほうがよいです。
以上をふまえても、とても楽しく、また行きたいと思います！

The event that was supposed to be fun turned out differently... The kids got seasick. One dropped out before boarding. Just when we were about to snorkel in the sea, another one got seasick and dropped out. We participated as a group of four, but none of us could get into the water... We only saw dolphins from a distance... However, it seems that a large pod of dolphins came that day, and the other participants were happy. It seemed to be a bit tough for the kids who are not used to traveling.

楽しいはずのイベントが・・・子供たちがバスに酔い。乗船前に一人脱落。シュノーケルつけて海へ！って時に船酔いでもう一人脱落。4人で参加して一人も海に入れず・・・。イルカも遠まきにちょこっとみただけ・・・。
ただ、この日はイルカの大群が来ていたみたいで参加のみなさんは喜んでました。
旅慣れしてない子供にはちょっと厳しいツアーだったようです。

I was woken up early in the morning by a wake-up call, and my kids were grumpy as we bounced around on the bus for about an hour. We arrived on the West Coast and set sail with a high-energy instructor and a group of nice guys. To our surprise, we encountered a pod of dolphins just three minutes in, and we were instructed to jump in!

I thought the dolphins would be easy to spot in the clear water since they are large, but visibility was limited, and you couldn't tell they were nearby. Following the instruction to look down, I continued swimming and, sure enough, there was a pod of dolphins right below us! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins for about ten minutes, wondering if it was really this easy to see them.

Next, we moved to the sea turtle point. There were so many fish that if you fed them, they would swarm around you. Those who wanted to have fun enjoyed marine sports while swimming and spotted sea turtles. It was moving to see them swimming leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the humans around.

I wanted my 5-year-old and 3-year-old to try swimming with the sea turtles, but since it was their first time swimming in the ocean, snorkeling was too much for them, and they quickly got back on the boat. Even from the boat, we could see dolphins swimming right below us and turtles occasionally popping their heads above the surface, making the boat ride itself a great memory. I hope they can practice swimming and try again.

A beautiful photographer was also on board, and she captured stunning photos for us (for an additional fee). Overall, I was very satisfied! However, since we are dealing with nature, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but this tour has a high probability of encounters.

早朝からモーニングコールで起こされ、子供も不機嫌なままバスで揺られること１時間ほど
西海岸に到着し、ハイテンションなインストラクターとナイスガイ軍団とともに出港　なんと３分でイルカの群れに遭遇し、飛び込め！の指示が！
イルカは大きいので澄んだ海の中ならすぐに見えるだろうと思いきや、やはり視界に限界があり、そばにいないとわからない　下を見て！の指示に従い泳ぎ続けると、たしかに真下にイルカのむ群れが！こんなにEasyに見られていいのかと思いながら１０分ほど皆でイルカとの遊泳を楽しみました。
さらに移動してウミガメポイントへ。ここは魚がたくさんいて餌をやろうものならそれこそ入れ食い状態。で、楽しみたい人たちはマリンスポーツを楽しみながら遊泳し、ウミガメ発見。人間など眼中にないかのごとく悠々と泳ぐさまに感動しました。
５歳と３歳のこどもがウミガメとの遊泳にチャレンジしてもらおうと思いましたがいかんせんまともに海で泳ぐのが初めてではシュノーケルは無理ですぐに船にあがってしまいました。船の上からでもま真下を泳ぐイルカやたまに顔を水面に出すカメを見ることができ、また、乗船自体もいい思い出になったようです。水泳の練習をして再チャレンジを期待したいところです。
船には美人カメラマンも乗船し、見事な写真の数々をデータにしてもらえました。（別料金）
全体として大満足！ただし、相手は自然なので必ずあえるとは限らないが、このツアーがかなりのか確率で会えるとのことです。

The slider offers a fun experience that you can't find in Japan. The deluxe plan includes a 15-minute private board session in the wave pool, and the lunch buffet features chicken, steak, salads, and fruits, finishing off with ice cream, which made the kids very happy.

スライダーは日本では味わえない楽しさ。デラックスプランは波のプールでの貸切ボードが15分あったり、ランチビュッフェはチキンやステーキ、サラダ、フルーツがり、最後にアイスも出るので子供も喜んでました。

I went out with my brother and it was our first time going to the West Side. we absolutely loved it!

The vessel is brand new and it comfortably accommodates all guest. The crew is very knowledgeable and professional, after the safety briefing they served us a continental breakfast, with a nice variety of fresh fruits and cakes.

By the moment we left the harbor we could already see lots of wild Hawaiian dolphins swimming close to the boat. We were lucky enough to even spot 4 humpback whales, if you are visiting the Island during the winter months you will have big chances of seeing them also.

We've stopped at Makaha Caverns to snorkel. It's absolutely beautiful! The guide was swimming with us around the area and we surrounded by turtles and beautiful colorful fishes.

Lunch was served right after snorkel time, we could make our own sandwiches and choose from barbecue pork, tuna salad, deli meats, cheese, chips and pasta salad. Delicious!

It was a delightful morning, this snorkel tour was amazing! Definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical to everyone seeking for a good time in paradise!

Even my older child with pool experience and my second grader managed to keep up. A year later, they still haven't forgotten, so it seems like it will be a lifelong memory.

プール経験のある年長と小2のこどもも何とかついて行けました。1年たっても　忘れていないので一生の思い出になりそうです。
