The weather was truly wonderful!
I was able to see a large group of dolphins up close!
I also saw whales and sea turtles!
The waves were strong, so we couldn't do any marine sports, but we were able to snorkel a lot, and the fish were really beautiful!
The boat swayed a lot, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! The guide really made it an unforgettable experience!!!

天気に恵まれてほんとに素晴らしかったです！
イルカの大群が真近でみれました！
クジラもみれたしウミガメめみれました！
波がつよく、マリンスポーツはできなかったけどシュノーケリングたくさん出来て魚たちがほんとに綺麗でした！
船はすごく揺れるので酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いです！ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれてほんとに最高の思い出になりました！！！

I also got to see a whale! ♡ クジラにも会えた♡

Reviewed by: sunny

I participated in an activity with friends for my first trip to Hawaii! After checking online reviews, I enrolled in Dolphin University.

Since it was an early morning, it was definitely a good decision to avoid the day after I arrived! On the bus, there were mostly safety instructions, and I was a bit worried if it would really be fun...

But starting from the malasada, I gradually felt more refreshed, and once we got on the boat, my excitement was through the roof!

We even got to see a mother and baby whale, which was truly moving for everyone! After that, we swam with dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle.

You should be cautious about your stamina and seasickness, but I think it's a tour I can recommend!

初ハワイで友達と何かアクティビティーに参加しよう！ということでネットの評判を見てイルカ大学へ入学しました♪

朝はやいので、着いた日の次の日は避けて正解でした！バスの中では注意事項などばかりでほんとに楽しいかなぁ〜って少し不安に…

でもマラサダあたりからだんだん頭もスッキリしてきて、船に乗ってからはテンションめっちゃあがること間違いなしです笑

さらにクジラの親子に会えたのでみんなで感動‼︎ その後もイルカとも泳げましたし、ウミガメにも会えました♪

体力と船酔いには注意ですが、おすすめできるツアーだと思います！

However, since we had to jump off the boat into the open sea, it was a bit tough for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer.

On this trip to Hawaii, it rained all day on the day of our arrival! The weather forecast said, "Rain again tomorrow, with occasional thunderstorms," so I hurriedly called to reschedule our reservation for a day later, and they were very accommodating, which was a great help.

Although there were many clouds the day after next, there were also some sunny intervals, and the kids were happy. The facility name has changed since I last visited (about five years ago), and one of the slides was gone, but overall, I felt that safety measures had improved compared to before.

Also, perhaps because it was Christmas Eve, there was a staff member dressed as Santa!

今回のハワイ旅行は、到着当日はなんと終日雨！！天気予報では「翌日も雨、時に雷雨」とのことで、慌てて電話してこちらの予約を一日ずらしてもらったのですが、すんなり対応してもらえとても助かりました。
翌々日も雲は多かったものの晴れ間もあり、子供たちも喜んでくれました。
以前（５年前？位に行った時）と施設名が変わっていますし、１つスライダーがなくなっていたりしましたが、全体的に以前より安全面に工夫がされている印象を受けました。

Overall: the park is actually bigger than I thought, not crowded, food is good enough for the park food. The pick-up shuttle is on time,transition is smooth.
Rides: All the rides were in close proximity to each other and we didn't have to wait too long to ride them! Personally, I think the wave pool is the best/fun/entertained one, first time. Also the lifeguards are all responsible and on duty. I would recommend Wet 'n' wild for a fun day. We would like to come here again!!

I was waiting at the meeting point ahead of time, but there was a no-show. The inquiry process was confusing, and I couldn't contact Veltra, so I ended up asking the concierge at my hotel for help. In the end, they claimed they went for the pickup but said I wasn't at the meeting point, without any apology. After an hour, I arranged a taxi myself to go there. Then, the weather got worse, and on the way back, I was made to wait a long time, only to get a regular taxi. It was completely different from the tour details provided, and it was truly the worst experience. I feel like I want to warn others about this.

時間前に集合場所で待機していたのにNo Show。問い合わせも解りにくく、

I participated in the evening event in late December. It was a bit chilly.

I got seasick, possibly due to the rain the day before. Even those who usually don't get seasick might feel more comfortable bringing medication.

There was a Japanese instructor who provided explanations, so even though the surroundings were filled with Westerners, I had a great time. I snorkeled with a few dolphins offshore, which became a memorable experience in Hawaii.

I couldn't eat at all because of the seasickness, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't allow us to take food home.

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: Y&T

I participated with my 73-year-old mother.
First of all, I was surprised that we were the only two people on a large bus for an hour's ride from Waikiki (laughs).
It was farther than I had imagined, but the driver pointed out landmarks along the way, like "There’s Pearl Harbor," "Moanalua Gardens, Hitachi," and "Outlet," so we enjoyed it (even though it was in English).

When the tour started, we were the only two Japanese participants, and since the staff were locals, I was a bit worried. However, there was one person who spoke fluent Japanese, and they explained things clearly, so I felt at ease.
We moved to a spot to see dolphins, and we were able to see their cute figures.
After that, we moved to another point and started snorkeling. My elderly mother also got into the water and enjoyed it for a little while.
However, due to the current, it was difficult to return to the boat quickly. My mother, who wasn't used to fins, seemed scared and was peering into the water while holding onto the boat.
Even so, the water was beautiful and clear, and we could see many fish, which was enjoyable.
After snorkeling, we took a warm shower and had meal time.
We savored hamburgers and fruits.
On the way back to the harbor, we were lucky enough to see a whale, which made us very happy.

What I thought after participating in this tour is that it is not particularly aimed at elderly people.
I wouldn't recommend it if there are small children.
Since it’s not a tour specifically for Japanese people (it’s not overly accommodating; you need to take the initiative to enjoy it, like asking questions), I thought there might be some who wouldn’t enjoy it.
But we had plenty of fun.
Thank you very much.

お一人日本語ペラペラの方がいて説明や注意など分かりやすく教えて貰い不安は無かったです。
沖に出てドルフィンを見るスポットに移動して、可愛らしい姿を見ることが出来ました。
その後ポイントを移動しシュノーケル開始。
高齢の母も海に入り、少しの時間ですが楽しんでいました。
ですが、水流の関係か直ぐに流されて船に戻るのが大変でした。
フィンに慣れていない母は怖かったらしく、船に掴まりながら水中を覗いてました。
それでも水が綺麗で透明で魚がたくさん観れて楽しんでいました。

小さい子供がいたらお勧めはしないこと。
日本人向けのツアー（至れり尽くせりでは無い、楽しむためには自分から動く（質問したりとか）ことが必要）では無いので、
楽しめない人もいるかもなぁと思いました。

It was cold, but it was fun! 寒かったけど楽しかった！

Reviewed by: kurimaru

In mid-December, I participated in the afternoon dolphin watching and snorkeling cruise.

While there are many tours aimed at Japanese people that consist solely of Japanese participants, this tour had only three Japanese groups and about six or seven groups of foreigners. My husband and I, who are not very good at English, didn't really interact with the other foreign guests, but since we were overseas, we were happy to feel more like we were abroad rather than being surrounded by only Japanese people.

There were about four staff members accompanying us. The staff seemed to genuinely enjoy guiding the tour, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. One male staff member spoke Japanese, which allowed us to understand the safety instructions and the flow of the cruise clearly. I brought my camera, but a female staff member dedicated to photography took plenty of pictures during the cruise, so we could focus on enjoying the tour without worrying about taking photos. The photos taken can be purchased at the end of the cruise on a USB memory stick. Although $40 is a bit pricey, it includes pictures taken while snorkeling in the sea, so I felt it was worth it.

During the cruise, a light jacket was sufficient. The scenery on the way to the dolphin viewing spot was beautiful, with not only the ocean but also the mountains visible from the sea, which was very satisfying.

The boat stopped once at the dolphin spot, and after a while, two dolphins came to play near the boat. Unlike at an aquarium, seeing wild dolphins so close that they seemed within reach, playing with the boat and catching fish, was truly moving! After enjoying dolphin watching at a leisurely pace, the boat moved to the snorkeling spot.

After being exposed to the sea breeze for a while, it got a bit chilly, but there were warm coffee, juice, alcoholic drinks, and delicious muffins available on board for us to enjoy freely. The warm coffee was very welcome for our chilled bodies. There were also chairs and tables, so it was nice to relax there until we reached the spot. The boat had a restroom as well, so we felt comfortable drinking fluids.

Before snorkeling, they provided explanations about safety and how to use the equipment in Japanese. I was initially hesitant to get into the water because I was feeling cold, but once I got in, the water wasn't as cold as I expected and was bearable. However, I couldn't endure snorkeling for a long time due to the cold, so I recommend wearing a wetsuit for those going in winter.

The sea was deeper than I thought, but wearing an inflatable life jacket made it easy to enjoy. Underwater, I saw many beautiful fish and corals. I also encountered a sea turtle, which is a rare experience to swim with! I got out early because I couldn't stand the cold, but the boat had a warm shower, which helped warm me up. That was a big relief.

After about 30 minutes of snorkeling, when the boat returned to shore, a buffet was prepared to satisfy our hunger. The buffet wasn't particularly delicious, but I thought it was good for a buffet included in this kind of tour. While we were eating, photos taken by the staff were shown on a screen inside the boat, so it would be great to decide whether to purchase them after seeing them.

They mentioned to bring a large towel, but since there was no place to change after getting in the sea, having an extra face towel to sit on would be convenient.

Regarding the content of the cruise and the staff's service, it was a highly satisfying tour, and I was glad I participated!

However, in our case, the date we had booked fell below the minimum number of participants, and we were informed the day before that we needed to change the date. We were told to call the Hawaiian tour company directly for possible date changes (which was difficult due to the time difference when contacting from Japan), and of course, the call had to be in English, which was quite challenging.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Awesome

Reviewed by: mysticlair

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Sunset Dinner Cruise was worth every penny!!!! As Kamaaina, my husband and I enjoy participating in various so called "tourist" activities. Not everyone who lives in Hawaii has a boat...so activites that offer ocean fun is very appealing. The trip started with a very comfortable pick up and ride aboard a full sized air conditioned bus. The driver was even early for pick-up. Ocean Joy fulfilled our every need from the moment we arrived at the check-in location to the time we departed the boat. The staff were very attentive and informative. The food was plentiful and the bar was flowing. We experienced one of the best views of our local sunset and even got to see a whale breach off the side of the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii and other "Locals" who are looking for new things to do.

There were some unexpected events, but（笑） ハプニングもありましたが（笑）

Reviewed by: Yoshimasa

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon, and I discovered it while I was pondering what marine sports to try in Japan! We departed from the resort area of Ko Olina, and it took about 40 minutes by bus from Waikiki. The view of Oahu's cityscape from the bus was also a highlight. When we arrived at the departure point, there were only a few Japanese people, and most of the participants were foreigners. (I was a bit worried at first, but it turned out to be one of the reasons we enjoyed it.) It really felt like we were in a foreign land rather than a tour with many Japanese participants, and everyone had a great time joking and laughing in a Western style.

Once the cruise started and snorkeling began, everyone was really excited like children, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling embarrassed. While snorkeling, we saw the sun setting on the horizon... such a beautiful scene. It's a sunset that you rarely see in Japan. After the sun went down, we enjoyed a simple buffet and beer for dinner. We ate well as a couple! (laughs) Just when we thought it was over and we were heading back to the marina, something unusual happened. There was a young couple from overseas among the participants, and they seemed to be having a fight, creating a strange atmosphere. On the way back, the boyfriend ended up getting violent with one of the crew members and was restrained, which felt like a scene from a foreign drama... and there were several police waiting on land to take care of the situation. While they were being questioned, everyone was held up for a bit... Despite all that, the crew members were friendly and cheerful, making it a really great tour. I don't think such unusual incidents happen often, so I highly recommend it!

リゾート地のコオリナからの出発、
ワイキキからバスで40分程でしたが、そのバスの中から見るオアフ島の街並みもまた見所でした、出発地に到着すると日本人は数人で外国の方々の方が多かった。（初めは心配でしたが（笑））ですがこれがまた、楽しめた一つの要因ではないかと思います、日本人が多いツアーよりは異国の地に来てる感じはすごくして、さらに欧米スタイルでみんなジョークとか笑いとかには事欠かなかったですね。クルーズがスタートしてシュノーケリングが始まるとみんな本当に子供みたいにはしゃいでいて、僕たちも恥ずかしくもなくはしゃいで楽しむことができました。シュノーケリングをしていると水平線には沈んでいく太陽が…すごく素敵な風景です。日本ではまず見る事の無いサンセットです。日も沈み少しすると簡単なビュッフェとビールを楽しみながらディナー。夫婦でしっかりたべました（笑）そしてそのままマリーナへ戻り終わりと思いきや、実を言うと参加者の中に海外の若いカップルがいて、喧嘩をしたのか変な空気の二人、帰り際にその彼氏の方が船のクルーに暴力を振るい取り押さえられるという珍事、海外ドラマのワンシーン…そして陸にはポリスが数名待ち構えておりそのまま御用となりました、その取り調べ中みんな足止めを食らいましたが…そんなこんなですがクルーの皆さんも気さくで明るくさ楽しませてくれるすごく良いツアーに参加しました。僕達のような珍事が起きることは早々ないと思います、

I couldn't meet any dolphins. イルカには会えませんでした。

Reviewed by: Shu & Kaz

The evening cruise on December 6th was wonderful. There was no need to worry about it being a bit dark and chilly for snorkeling. Additionally, Jin, who grew up in Japan, explained the safety points on the boat and underwater in fluent Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The Ko Olina area on the west coast of Oahu looked beautiful in the setting sun, but after heading north along the coast for about 40 minutes, we had to give up without spotting any dolphins and quickly started snorkeling. Under the watchful eye of the crew, even children around five years old were having fun at a depth of about 5 meters. Colorful fish in blue and yellow gathered close enough to touch, and we even had a surprise visit from a turtle, making for a very enjoyable time where we lost track of time. After snorkeling, we had light snacks and some alcohol while watching the sunset over the ocean, allowing us to experience a bit of a sunset cruise atmosphere.

This was my third snorkeling tour in Hawaii, and it was the clearest water I've experienced, with many fish visible up close. However, I was disappointed not to see any dolphins, so I would like to try again.

12月6日の夕方クルーズ、シュノーケリングには少々暗くて肌寒い、という心配は全く無用でした。また、日本育ちのJIN君が流暢な日本語で船内と水中での注意点を丁寧に説明してくれ、言葉の心配もありませんでした。船上から見えたオアフ島西海岸のコオリナ地区は西日に映えて奇麗だったですが、40分ほど海岸沿いを北上しても、目的のイルカは発見できないまま断念、早速シュノーケリング開始。クルー監視の中、水深5mほどでも、５歳前後の子供も楽しんでいました。目の前を青、黄、などの魚が手の届くとこまで集まり、亀のサプライズ訪問もあって、時間を忘れて、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。シュノーケリング後の軽食はアルコールも出て、海に沈む夕日を見ながら、ちょっとしたサンセットクルーズの雰囲気を味わうことができました。
ハワイでのシュノーケリングツアーは3回目、今回が一番水がきれいで、真近に沢山の魚を見られました。ただ、イルカに会えなかったのが残念なので、もう一度挑戦したいです。

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

Wonderful experience 素晴らしい体験

Reviewed by: anna

This was the most memorable experience I've had in Hawaii, offering value beyond its price and being the best experience overall. Having taken cruises in Hawaii multiple times, I considered canceling the day before, but looking back now, I realize I would have regretted not participating.

First, we set off on the cruise, and even though I usually get seasick, I didn't feel any rocking at all and enjoyed the ocean. The scenery was wonderful. Just enjoying the sea on the cruise was enough to satisfy me. The staff were all friendly and greeted us with smiles, making it easy to chat with them. After that, they explained the diving precautions in clear English, and since there were Japanese staff members, they also provided explanations in Japanese for those who might not understand English. Their thorough explanations made me feel at ease, even though I had never experienced watching before.

When I experienced the watching, I was moved by the beauty of the various fish. I was able to see everything up close that I had only seen in aquariums before. It was even more beautiful than an aquarium. The staff also worked hard to take great photos, allowing me to preserve that excitement forever. Additionally, witnessing the sunset gradually descend over the ocean was an extraordinary experience that I won't forget. Finally, just as I was getting hungry, they prepared a delicious dinner, allowing us to enjoy various drinks and fruits while looking at the beautiful sea. This is an experience that can only be had here in Hawaii, so I highly recommend it.

今までハワイで体験したものの中、一番思い出になり、値段以上の価値があり、最高の経験でした。ハワイで何度もクルーズを乗っていましたので、前日の時、キャンセルしようかを思いましたが、今振り返ってみたら、参加し無ければ、悔になるかもしれません。
まず、クルーズで出発し、船酔いの私でも全く揺れを感じなく、海を楽しんできました。風景は素晴
らしかったです。クルーズで海を楽しむだけで十分満足でした。スタッフも誰でも笑顔でフレンドリーで接してくれまして気軽にしゃべることもできました。その後、ダイビングの注意事項を分かりやすい英語で説明しましたが、英語で分からなくても日本人スタッフなので、日本語で説明してくれます。丁寧な説明でウォッチングを体験したことがなくても安心できます。ウォッチングを体験して、いろんな魚は綺麗過ぎで感動しました。今まで水族館でしか見られないものを全部自分の目で身近で見ることができました。水族館以上綺麗でした。スタッフも一生懸命良い写真を撮ってくれましたので、その感動を一生保存することができます。また、sunsetも海と接して徐々に落ちることを目の前にあって、なかなか無い感動が味わいました。最後に、ちょうどお腹空いたところ、美味しい夕食を用意してくれまして、綺麗な海をみながらいろいろなお酒や果物を味わうことができました。ハワイのここでしか体験できないものなので、強くおすすめします。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Awesome time

Reviewed by: Grace S

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

Sunset Cruise サンセットクルーズ

Reviewed by: Asa Eri

There were two changes to the meeting location after making the reservation. I couldn't check my email for the second change, so I received a call in English from the hotel. I only caught the part about the sunset cruise, but since I didn't intend to book a sunset cruise, I said I didn't understand and hung up. After that, I received a message in Japanese and was able to confirm the change in the meeting location, which was good.

I joined the tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins, so I asked the staff if we would see dolphins soon. They told me that it would be lucky to see dolphins on the evening cruise, which was disappointing. The morning tour is brighter, making it easier to spot dorsal fins, and since many other boats are out, the chances of seeing dolphins are about 95%. If we don't see any, we can participate again.

On the day of the tour, it was very cold, but the water at the snorkeling point was warm, and the beautiful blue gradient of the sea with white sand was stunning. I saw a lot of fish, so I was satisfied with the snorkeling. Although the temperature was cold, the boat had hot water showers, which was very nice.

In the end, I didn't see any dolphins, but I was able to catch a glimpse of a whale's dorsal fin for a moment. There were also Japanese staff members, and I think I would have been very satisfied if I had participated in the sunset cruise.

予約をしてから2回の集合場所の変更がありました。2回目の変更はメールの確認が出来る状況でなかったので、ホテルに英語で連絡がきました。
サンセットクルーズだけ聞き取れたのですが、サンセットクルーズを予約したつもりがなかったので分らないと言って電話を切りました。その後、日本語で連絡をもらって集合場所の変更を確認できたのでよかったです。
野生のイルカを見たくて参加のツアーでしたので、早々にイルカを見れるのかをスタッフの方に聞いてみると夕方のクルーズはイルカが見れたらラッキーだといわれてガッカリ。
午前中のツアーは明るいので背びれを見つけやすく、他の船が沢山出ているのでイルカにあえる確立は95％くらいで見られなかったらもう一回参加できるそうです。
当日は、すごく寒かったのですがシュノーケルポイントの海水は暖かく白い砂とブルーのグラデーションの海の中はとてもキレイでした。魚も沢山見れたのでシュノーケルは満足です。
気温が寒かったですが、船には温水シャワーが付いていたのでとても良かったです。
結局、イルカは見れなかったのですがクジラの背びれを一瞬だけ見ることができました。
日本人のスタッフの方もいて、サンセットクルーズとして参加していれば大満足だったと思います。

Wild Dolphin Watching & Snorkeling Cruise / ☆Members Only Monitor Tour☆ / Evening Cruise 野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケルクルーズ / ☆会員様限定モニターツアー☆／夕方クルーズ

Reviewed by: ハワイ初心者

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I wanted to see dolphins and sea turtles, so I signed up for an optional tour. The email correspondence and responses leading up to the day were quick, which made us, as first-time participants, feel very reassured and excited.

The meeting place on-site was easy to find, and the bus guide called out our names, so there were no issues until we gathered.

Regarding the tour, we were unable to see any dolphins. We had high expectations of seeing dolphins based on the tour name, but it was just a cruising experience. When I asked the locals, they mentioned that dolphins are rarely seen in the evening because it gets dark, making it difficult to spot them. While this is part of the wild experience, it was a bit disappointing.

The snorkeling was great, as there was a Japanese guide who taught us very thoroughly. We were able to see a lot of fish, which was nice.

As for the food, the variety was limited, and it felt more like a light snack than dinner. I think there are some areas for improvement in the tour content, but the staff from the tour company and the locals were very kind, so I would like to rely on them again when I visit Hawaii next time.

今回初めてのハワイでイルカと海ガメはみたいと思い、オプションツアーに申し込みをしました。
当日までのメールのやり取りや対応は素早く、初めて申し込む私たちは大変安心をして心待ちにしておりました。
現地での集合場所も分かりやすく、バスガイドの方も名前を呼んでくれたため、集合までは特に申し分ありませんでした。
ツアーに関してですが、イルカは見ることはできませんでした。ツアー名からイルカを見れる期待がありましたが、ただクルージングしてるだけでした。現地の方に聞くと夕方はイルカはほとんど見れないみたいです。夕方だと暗くなるので探すのが難しいみたいです。野生ならではでありますが、ちょっと残念でした。
シュノーケリングは、日本人のガイドさんもいて大変丁寧に教えていたたぎました。魚がたくさん見れたので良かったです。
ご飯に関しては種類は少なく、ディナーと言うより軽食でした。
ツアー内容に関しては多少改善していただけるともっといいのになと思うことはありますが、ツアー企画会社の方や現地の方は大変親切でしたので、またハワイに行くときはお世話になりたいなと思います。

Unable to encounter... 遭遇出来ず…

Reviewed by: hwii

I participated in this tour. Unfortunately, I was unable to encounter the main attractions, which were dolphins and turtles; it turned out to be just a cruising and snorkeling tour. Since nature is unpredictable, I understand, but it was disappointing that the experience fell far short of my expectations.

I joined the evening plan, but according to the staff, there is a higher chance of encountering dolphins and turtles during the daytime.

The snorkeling was quite cold, but the sea was beautiful, which made me satisfied. However, since they were attracting fish with bait, if there is no bait, you wouldn't see any fish at all, just some coral, so I didn't feel much of a connection to nature.

As for the cruising, there was some rocking, but it wasn't rough, and I didn't feel seasick. However, it was very disappointing not to encounter the dolphins, which were the main attraction. The weather was nice, and I was moved by the sunset! The colors of the sky on the way back were very beautiful, and I was satisfied.

Overall, this tour felt like an à la carte experience without a main dish, but the side dishes were delicious.

Aside from the tour overview, I thought the catering was sufficient in terms of drinks and food. As someone who doesn't particularly seek alcohol, I was quite satisfied with the variety offered.

Regarding the service, there were Japanese staff members who were attentive and provided thorough explanations, so I didn't have any trouble even though I couldn't speak English. I had a meaningful time! Thank you very much.

I hope to have a chance to try again next time.

今回のツアーに参加させて頂きました。表題のメインであるイルカ、亀に遭遇は出来ず、ただのクルージング&シュノーケリングツアーでした。自然が相手なので仕方ないですが想像は大きく下回る結果だったのは残念です。

参加した時間帯が夕方プランだったのですがスタッフさん曰く日中の方がイルカ、亀には遭遇出来る可能性は高いらしいです。

シュノーケリングに関してはかなり寒かったのですが海は綺麗で満足する事が出来ました。しかし餌で魚を引き寄せていたので餌がない場合は全く魚も見れず珊瑚のみが見えたレベルなので自然感は感じられずでした。

クルージングに関しては揺れはあるものの粗くなく酔う事はありませんでした。しかし、メインであるイルカに遭遇出来なかった事は非常に残念でした。天気が良かった事もありSUNSETが見れたのは感動しました！帰りの空の色は非常に綺麗で満足する事が出来ました。

今回のツアーに関してはメインディシュのないアラカルトが美味しいツアーみたいな感じでした。

ツアー概要は別としてケータリングに関しては呑み物、食べ物は充分だったと思います。特にアルコールを求めない自分としてはかなり満足いくバリエーションでした。

対応に関しては日本人スタッフが居てくれ、気に掛けて頂いたり、丁寧な説明もあり、英語が喋れなくても困る事もなく有意義な時間を過ごせました！本当にありがとうございました。

次回、再チャレンジ出来たらと思います。

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

I'm disappointed. がっかりです。

Reviewed by: 参加者Ｓ

The pool was not good. I had heard that we would be using blue shirts as a marker, but it was an aloha shirt instead. The trip took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there, and on the way back, even though we had enough people, the driver said one person was still missing, so we had to wait quite a bit and ended up departing 40 minutes late.

Most importantly, despite the plan including a BBQ for lunch, the bento was not something that Japanese people could eat comfortably. For our family of four, it was a terrible experience. The pool was in a state of being reserved for local surfers for hours, and we couldn't get in. That should be something the staff pays attention to.

Unless improvements are made, I cannot recommend this to friends who are going to Hawaii.

プールはダメでした。そもそも青いシャツを目印にと聞いていましたがアロハシャツだったし、行きは１時間４０分帰りは人数がそろってるにも関わらずもう一人来てないと運転手さんが言い、かなり待って集合時間より４０分遅れの出発でした。何よりも昼食ＢＢＱ込みのプランにも関わらず弁当で日本人はとても食べれるような中身ではありませんでした。
私たち家族４人にとっては散々な一のプールは地元のサーファーの何時間もの貸切状態で私たちは入れませんでした。あれは係員が注意すべきです。
改善がない限りハワイに行く友人とかにはお勧めは出来ません。

It's not the ocean, but don't underestimate it! If you love slides, you should definitely check it out! 海ではないが、侮るなかれ！スライダー好きはぜひ！

Reviewed by: あやねこ×ぽこすけ

There are many water slides that you won't find in Japan, and it's not just fun for kids—adults can enjoy it even more! It was a great water park. The recommended slides are "Island Racer" and "Shaka."

Since our hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village) was the first pick-up, we ended up riding for about an hour just for the shuttle to other hotels, which was a bit tiring. (However, we were the first to get dropped off on the way back, so maybe it was fair?)

After the pick-ups at each hotel, we arrived at Wet 'n' Wild in less than an hour! The park was not crowded, possibly because it was a weekday. We arrived right at opening time at 10:30, so we were able to enjoy the morning with almost no wait time after storing our belongings in a locker. However, as others have mentioned, there are some slides that aren't operating in 30-minute intervals (which is a bit vague), so it's better to go with that in mind to enjoy it more. Also, I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen thoroughly.

I was worried about what to do with my valuables and belongings, but the locker I rented (large) was spacious enough, which was reassuring. The staff at the reception spoke Japanese.

I had so much fun that I experienced muscle pain the next day (for some reason in my arms), so I recommend going if you want to play hard during the latter part of your trip.

日本では見たことのないウォータースライダーがたくさんあり、子供だけではなく、むしろ大人こそ楽しい！？ウォーターパークでした。
お勧めスライダーは「アイランドレーサー」と「シャカ」です。

私達の宿泊していたホテル（ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ）へのピックアップが一番だったため、その後各ホテルへの送迎だけで１時間程乗っており、少々疲れました。（しかし帰りは一番最初の降車だったため、まぁ平等なのかも？）

各ホテルへのピックアップが終わると、１時間足らずでウェット・アンド・ワイルドへ到着！
平日だったからかパークは空いていました。ちょうど開園時間の１０時半に到着したため、荷物をロッカーに預けて、午前中はほぼ待ち時間なしで遊ぶことが出来ました。
ただ他の人も書いている通り、３０分区切り（若干アバウト）でやっていないスライダーがあるので、そういうものだと思って行ったほうが楽しめると思います笑　あとは、日焼け止めはバッチリしていったほうがいいと思います。

貴重品や、持ってきたものをどうすればいいか不安でしたが、借りたロッカー（大）は十分な大きさで安心しました。受付は日本語が話せる方でした。

楽しみすぎて翌日からの筋肉痛がキツかったので（何故か上腕）、おもいっきり遊びたい人は、旅後半にいくことをオススメします。
