We enjoyed the time we had on this cruise. The staff, food and boat were great. The only issue we had was with another passenger who would push, shove and step on everyone around him. There were also tons of pictures of him on the available USB for sale and only handfuls of all the other passengers. The cruise we definitely recommend, the rude passenger could have been left on shore.

Overall, it was not crowded, so the stress from waiting times at each attraction was minimal. However, it's disappointing that the operating hours are only from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM (with one of the weekends extending to 4:30 PM). I had planned to rent a car and go directly to the site to enjoy the whole day, but it went by in a flash.
Regarding the "Deluxe Plan," although it claims to offer an all-you-can-eat lunch, the variety was extremely limited, and the taste was mediocre. It might be more fulfilling and a better value to order individually. However, the kids seemed very satisfied.
全体的に空いているので、各アトラクションでの待ち時間でのストレスは最小。
ただ、営業時間が10:30~15:30(土日どちらかが~16:30まで)と
限りなく短いのは残念。レンタカー借りて現地へ直接行き、終日楽しもうと思ってましたが、
あっという間でした。
「デラックスプラン」ですが、ランチ食べ放題といいつつも、種類は限りなく少なく、味もイマイチ、個別で注文して食べたほうが充実するしバリューかもですね。
子供には大満足のようでした。

I thought it would be crowded wherever we went, so we participated as a family of four on Sunday. The bus transfer was in English only. We exchanged our voucher for a wristband (with the schedule written on it) when our names were called. It seemed that the bus was just the right number of people, so those from hotels with later boarding times had to share seats, and some family members ended up sitting separately. For those from the farthest hotel, the ride took an hour, and after everyone boarded, there was a DVD explanation in various languages, but the screen was glitchy, and the content was completely unclear. There were no explanations for other attractions. Once we arrived, a Japanese guide explained the meaning of the wristband color, the return boarding time, and the method only.
At the entrance, there was a chaotic line for checking bags for drinks and food (which took quite a while), and everything had to be thrown away before entering. We received a water bottle for drinks, and then we had free time. There are benches with umbrellas only around the children's pool and the wave pool, but they are first-come, first-served. Other than that, there are benches without umbrellas or places to lay out a mat, so there are no resting spots, and you can easily get sunburned. The lines for the water bottles and meals were quite long (15 to 40 minutes), so I was glad we opted for an all-you-can-eat option that allowed us to eat at a shaded table without waiting.
For attractions that can accommodate more than four people, when you line up from the stairs, you receive a float when it gets closer to your turn. For everything else, you line up at the end point and receive floats from those who have finished before lining up again (the floats for the wave pool are first-come, first-served). It took some time to understand everything, but that’s part of the experience in a foreign country. The attractions were thrilling, and both sixth graders and high school students enjoyed them. During busy times, there might not be enough time to do everything.
どこに行って混むと考え、日曜日に家族4人で参加。
バス送迎は英語のみ。名前を呼ばれてバウチャーと交換に手首につけるテープ(スケジュールが書いてある)人数ぴったりのバスだったらしく、遅い乗車順のホテルの人は相席になり、家族一人ずつ座る方もいました。一番遠いホテルの人で乗車時間は1時間、全員乗車語に各言語でDVD説明がありますが異常に画面が飛んで内容は全く不明。他にアトラクションの説明はありませんでした。現地に着いたら日本語ガイドがテープの色の意味、帰りの乗車時間と方法のみを説明。雑然と並んで入場時に飲み物と食べ物の鞄チェック(結構並ぶ)をして全部捨てられてから入場。飲み物を入れる水筒をもらい、あとは自由行動。
子供用のプールと、波のプールの周囲にのみパラソル付きのベンチがありますが、早いもの順です。それ以外はパラソルなしのベンチか、空き地にシートをはるかなどで休憩場所はなく、焼き放題です。水筒も食事もかなり並びます(15~40分)ので、並ばないし日陰のテーブルで食べられる食べ放題をつけてよかったと思いました。4人以上乗れるアトラクションは、階段上からの列に並ぶと乗る順が近づいたら浮き輪を渡されます。それ以外は、終了地点で並び、終わった人の浮き輪などをもらってから並ぶシステムです。(波のプールぬ浮き輪は早い者勝ち)
把握するのに手間取りましたが、それも外国ならでは・・。アトラクションはスリルもあり、小学6年生も高校生も楽しんでいました。混雑時は時間が足りないくらいかな。

The facility was very satisfying for both adults and my two middle school sons.
Regarding the tour details (Deluxe Plan):
1. The Deluxe Plan included two bodyboarding experiences, but we could only participate in the second one at 1:30 PM. The bodyboarding experience was amazing, and both adults and children enjoyed it.
2. There was a baggage check upon entry, which took nearly 20 minutes before we could enter.
3. The departure was at 3:30 PM, but the gathering was at 3:15 PM, so we could only play until 3 PM.
4. The food court had quite a long line. The plan with barbecue had no wasted time for meals, which was great.
5. We went on a Friday, and there were many attractions with lines (about 10 minutes).
Personally, I think if we had an additional 30 minutes, we could have enjoyed it more, but that might have caused traffic on the way back. Therefore, I thought it would have been better to choose a plan for a Wednesday or another day that allows for earlier entry. I would like to choose that plan next time!
施設には大人も中学生の息子2人も大満足です
ツアーの詳細について(デラックスプラン)
①デラックスプランのボディボード体験は 2回開催と記載でしたが
第2回の13時半~のみしか体験できませんでした
ボディボード体験は波もすごくて大人も子供楽しめました
②入園時に荷物チェックがあり 入園までに20分ちかくかかりました
③出発は15時半ですが 集合は15時15分なので15時までしか遊べません
④フードコートはかなり並んでました
バーベキューつきのプランは食事時間はロスがなくよかったです
⑤金曜日に行きましたがアトラクションには並ぶものが多かったです
(10分程度)
個人的には 滞在時間があと30分あればゆっくり出来たかと思いますが
そうすると帰りに渋滞になるのかもしれません
なので曜日指定で水曜日など早く入れるプランにすればよかったと思いました
次はそのプランにしたいと思います♪

When we arrived at the meeting place on the day, our names were not on the driver's list, so we handed over the printed voucher for confirmation. There was another family from a different company whose names were also not on the list. If they hadn't noticed the bus and their names hadn't been called, they would likely have been left behind. We barely managed to find seats on the bus, but we were given wristbands of a different color. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member came on board to explain the situation, and I explained our circumstances and had the wristbands changed to the correct ones. At that time, I was told that we couldn't get a map of the venue, and I ended up spending the day looking at the information boards.
Since it was Sunday, there was a long line before the venue opened, but as tour bus guests, we were able to line up in a shorter queue and entered relatively quickly. However, we lost time waiting in line for the lockers and couldn't reserve beach chairs.
Regarding the attractions, my college and middle school-aged children were very satisfied. As others have mentioned, the pavement was painful and hot, so I think wearing water shoes is better than sandals.
I spent some time looking for the lunch spot without realizing it was at the location indicated by the wristband number, but it was good that we could enjoy a leisurely meal with the deluxe plan since the food court was extremely crowded. However, the all-you-can-drink service was crowded at other refill stations, so we only refilled at the lunch spot.
On the way back, the changing rooms were limited and very crowded, so I think it's best to act early to make it in time for the bus.
当日集合場所に行ったところ、私たちの名前が運転手の名簿に無く、印刷したバウチャーを渡して確認して貰いました。他にも別の会社から予約をして、名簿に名前が載っていないご家族がもう1組。バスに気付かず、名前も読んでもらえなければ、置いて行かれた可能性大でした。バスの座席もギリギリで座れましたが、違う色のリストバンドを渡されました。現地に到着し、日本人の係員が説明のため乗り込んで来たので事情を説明し、リストバンドも本来のものに変えて貰いました。その時、場内地図が貰えずどこに行っても無いと言われ、一日案内板を見て過ごす羽目になりました。
日曜日だったため、開場前に長い行列が出来ていましたが、ツアーバスの私たちは短い列に並び、比較的早く入場出来ました。しかし、ロッカーの行列で時間を取られてしまい、ビーチチェアのキープは出来ませんでした。
アトラクションについては、大学生・中学生の子供が大変満足できるものでした。他の方も言われているように、歩道が痛くて熱いのでサンダルよりマリンシューズ着用がいいと思いました。
ランチの場所が、リストバンドの番号の場所と気付かずしばらく探し回りましたが、フードコートは激混みだったため、デラックスプランでゆっくりと食事できたのは良かったです。ただし、飲み放題のドリンクは他の補給場所が混んでいたため、ランチの場所でのみ補給しました。
帰りは、更衣室が少なくとても混むので、バスの時間に間に合うように早めの行動がいいと思います。

We randomly picked this cruise based on the activities and meal provided and couldn't have chosen better! The bus ride from Waikiki was on time and relaxing, and once we arrived at the pier, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and fun! The dolphins were the highlight, in my opinion, but my friends loved the snorkeling and BBQ lunch and open bar. All-in-all, this was definitely worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii!

The pool was a great experience for the kids. I opted for the all-you-can-drink plan, but I might have been better off deciding on-site. I was worried it would be too crowded to go buy drinks, but it turned out I could get them after all, and the drinks were big enough that one cup was sufficient, easing my concerns about heatstroke.
子供も大満喫のプールでした。
飲み物飲み放題のプランにしましたが、現地で決めればよかったかも。

I made a reservation in advance and met the staff on-site on the day, so I was anxious until I got there, but I was able to meet the person in charge without any issues. The best part was being able to enter an hour earlier than regular guests, which allowed us to ride the slides before they got crowded. Once it started getting busy, some slides had a 30-minute wait, so that extra hour was invaluable.
Each slide has its own unique features and they are all a lot of fun. It's perfect for kids. I definitely want to go again when I come back to Hawaii. However, waiting for each slide without any shade was tough as my skin was getting burned...
事前予約をして当日現地で合流だったので、行くまでは不安でしたが無事に現地で担当者の方と合流できました。何よりよかったのが一般のお客さんより1時間早く入れるので一般開放の前に混んでしまうスライダーにじゃんじゃん乗ることができたことです。実際混んできてからは30分待つ必要があるスライダーが並ばないでいけるこの1時間は貴重です。
それぞれスライダーは特徴があり楽しいものばかり。子供には最高です。またハワイに来る際には是非行きたいと思います。
ただ、日陰もない中で各スライダーを待つのはじりじりと肌が焼かれてつらかったです。。。

The lecture began in the car heading to the ship, and the children seemed somewhat intimidated by the stern instructor. The crowded car was silent. The strict guidance from the instructor continued on board the ship as well. I wonder if they learned not to underestimate the sea.

When you think of Hawaii, you usually think of the beach, but the pool here is a big hit with the kids. The height restrictions are strictly enforced, so if you're bringing small children, there might be pools they can't play in, which could be disappointing.
Unlike Americans, we don't drink soft drinks in large quantities, so I think a plan without soft drinks is sufficient. Also, all the maps on-site are in English, so it's a good idea to print out a map from a Japanese website in advance. If you want to play until closing time, please make sure to reserve a taxi for your return, as there are no taxis available on the street.
ハワイと言えば本来はビーチですが、ここのプールは、コドモ達は大満足。
身長制限はキビしくチェックされてるので、小さいチビ連れの場合、遊べないプールがあって、ガッカリするかも。
米国人と違って、そんなにソフトドリンクをガブ飲みしないので、ソフトドリンク無しのプランで充分だと思います。
また、現地での地図はすべて英語表記なので、事前に日本語のサイトで地図を印刷しておいたほうが良いでしょう。
閉園ギリギリまで遊び倒したいなら、帰りはタクシーを予約しておいてください。
流しのタクシーは居ません。

I intended to participate using Early Bird, but it was disappointing that the participation date only allowed for regular hours, which really limited the time. There were many enjoyable attractions, and I was satisfied! However, even though the park isn't that large, it took a lot of time to move around. The wave pool was "too crowded" and "the waves were too strong," making it difficult for the kids, and the adults were struggling too. There were too few free floaties. I was looking forward to "Shaka," but it wasn't as intense as "Manta" in Guam. I have listed some complaints, but it is still a place I would like to visit again.
アーリーバードを利用して参加するつもりが、参加日は通常営業しか対応してなかったため時間が本当に短かったのが一番の残念。アトラクションは楽しいものが多くて満足!でもそんなに広くない園内なのに移動にすごく時間がかかります。波のプールは「人多すぎ」「波がきつすぎ」で子供たちは溺れかけて大人も必死でした。無料の浮き輪が少なすぎます。「シャカ」を楽しみにしてましたが、グアムの「マンタ」ほどキツクなかったです。不満が並びましたが、でもまた訪れたい場所ではあります。

I signed up for a tour that included pick-up, free drinks, and meals. It was smaller in scale than I expected. After going through everything once, I felt satisfied enough. However, I didn't have to wait long, and I was happy with the price. I was wondering when I would receive the souvenir cup that was supposed to be included in the tour, but in the end, I didn't receive anything. The driver on the way back was a foreigner who only spoke English, and I didn't have the chance to ask anything before being quickly dropped off at my destination. I thought any item would be a nice memento, so I was looking forward to it, but it was very disappointing. The fact that it was included in the fee but not given to us is quite disappointing.

I love Hawaii and go there 1 to 2 times every year. This was my second time participating in the activity of swimming with wild dolphins. Last time (with a different company), I was able to swim with a pod of dolphins, which was incredibly moving, and this time I enrolled in Dolphin University.
Not only can you swim with dolphins, but you can also enjoy malasadas, see sea turtles, and if you wish, you can do kayaking as well (they prioritize your preferences without any pressure). I was truly satisfied.
On the boat, they played the ukulele and sang songs, and performed hula dance; it was the best experience I've had so far. I think everyone, from first-timers to repeat visitors, can enjoy this.
At the end, the pod of dolphins escorted us back to the harbor and showed us some jumps. Above all, the staff were all very warm, and I definitely want to participate again next year.
ハワイ大好きで、毎年1~2回は行っています。
野生のイルカと泳ぐアクティビティも今回で2回目でした。
前回も(違う会社でしたが)イルカの群れと泳ぐことができ、すごく感動し今回はイルカ大学に入学しました。
イルカと泳ぐだけでなく、マラサダが食べられたり、海ガメがみれたり希望すればカヤック等も出来て(無理強いすることなく希望を優先にしてくれます)本当に大満足でした。
船上でウクレレを演奏して歌を歌ってくれたり、フラダンスを踊ってくれたり、今まで参加した中でも1番でした。

最後はイルカの群れが港まで送ってくれ、ジャンプも見せてくれました。

I participated alone, and at the time I joined, there was no one else participating alone. However, the guide really took care of me, which made me happy. I was able to swim with dolphins just as the title promised, and I also encountered sea turtles.
On the boat during the transfers, the staff really got everyone excited, and I didn't have a moment of boredom; it truly became a wonderful memory. Although there were only Japanese participants, I felt very embarrassed as no one gave a tip despite how well we were treated.
There are cultural differences, but since I was in America, experiencing the local culture is part of the joy of traveling. I hope people can understand that it's not about thinking "tips are a waste," but rather experiencing a culture where showing appreciation with money is valued. If you enjoyed your experience, please be sure to give a tip!
私は一人で参加したんですが、私が参加した時は、他に一人で参加した人はいませんでした。ですが、ガイドさんはとっても私のことをケアしてくれて、うれしかったです。

日本人ばかりの参加だったのですが、こんなに良くしてくれたのに、誰一人チップをあげている人がいなくて、いち日本人としてとても恥ずかしくなりました。
文化の違いもありますが、アメリカに行ったんだから現地の文化を堪能する事も旅の醍醐味ですので「チップ代もったいない」と思わず、気持ちをお金で見せる文化だという事を体感してほしいです。

Get ready for a fun time on this catamaran! The dolphins are a plenty and are in their hibernating season so they stay close to the coast. While you don't get in the water surrounded by dolphins, it keeps them safe, so it's good for everyone. There were so many kinds of fish and it was fun to swim through them. It was a nice cool day, and the dolphins were definitely out there. They got nice and close to the boat! The snorkel was amazing. By lunchtime, I was looking forward to food. The Captain is a fine cook and knows his way around a boat so it's double bonus for us. We had the tasty teriyaki chicken sandwich, which I can proudly give 5 stars! Try the Naked Pirate drink. It's awesome! The crew on the boat was friendly and managed to keep it fun for everyone even with a bunch of little kids running around. It's family-friendly and they made sure those kids stayed safe. This catamaran sail is worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend!

However, if this had been my first time, I might not consider repeating it.

I was worried about the weather, but we were blessed with very nice weather, to the point where I was concerned about getting sunburned.
On the day of the event, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to sleep. We had about an hour of travel time, but it was enjoyable thanks to the lively talk from the student council president.
Also, it was lucky to have Leonard's malasadas along the way. Honestly, I wanted to buy about three of them at my own expense. More than half of the participants rented wetsuits, and of course, I rented one too. It helped prevent sunburn, and since I'm not a strong swimmer, the added buoyancy was a great help.
They also provided zippers so we could take home cheeseburgers, which was very convenient. The dolphins were a bit far away, but we were excited to spot a pod. Fortunately, we also got to see baby sea turtles, which made me very happy.
I truly understood why it's called Ryugu-jo (Dragon Palace). I definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

日焼け防止にもなるし、泳ぎが得意ではないので浮力がまして大変助かりました。チーズバーガーも持ち帰りが出来るようにジッパーを用意してくれてたので助かりました。

As soon as we set sail from the harbor, we saw a pod of about 30 dolphins swimming nearby, which made me very happy! After entering the water twice to swim with the dolphins, we also had time to see beautiful fish and do some sea kayaking, which was very fulfilling.
The staff were very cheerful and attentive, making for a fun experience. My mother stayed on the boat and didn't enter the water, but she was very pleased that the captain gave her bread to attract the beautiful fish.
The boat didn't rock too much, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand.
The staff were also very caring towards those who did get seasick, which was very reassuring.
I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time!
母と二人で参加しました!
初ハワイだったのですが海のキレイさにまず感動☆
港から出港してすぐ近くにイルカちゃん達が泳いでいて、30頭くらいの群れを目にすることができ大満足でした!!二回イルカを見るために海に入り近くで泳いだ後、ポイントを変えてキレイな魚を見たりシーカヤックをする時間も設けてありボリュームたっぷり。
スタッフのみなさんはとても明るく気遣いも素晴らしく楽しい時間を過ごせました。母は海に入らず船の上で過ごしていましたが、その間も船長さんがパンをくださってキレイな魚を呼んでみせてくれたりと楽しませてもらったととても喜んでいました。
船はそんなに揺れませんでしたが、船酔いしやすい方は薬を事前に服用した方がよいかもしれません。
船酔いした方にもスタッフの方たちがきちんと介抱されていて、とても好感がもてました。
またハワイにいく際には参加したいと思います!

I had a great time meeting Dolphin Sensei right away! However, it was really cold, so something to wear over your clothes is a must!
すぐにイルカ先生に出会うことができて楽しかったです!ただすごく寒かったので羽織れるものは必須ですね!

You can enjoy it all day long, from children to adults, without getting bored. There are height measurement stations in various places to check if you can ride the attractions. I will visit again.
子供から大人まで一日いても飽きないほど楽しめます。
アトラクションに乗れるかどうかは身長計が各所にありますよ。
またリピします。

It's a really big attraction! It seems there are many celebrities around, and the pool is on a scale that's unimaginable in Japan. Families should be careful not to get lost!
とにかく大きいアトラクションです^^
芸能人も多く見えているらしく、日本ではありえないくらいの規模のプールです。
家族連れなどは迷子にならないように~

Husband and daughter loved this trip. It was the highlight of our vacation. This is our 2nd catamaran trip from this harbor but first time with this company. Staff was top notch: knowledgeable about dolphin conservation, friendly, professional. Exceptional all around. My daughter snorkeled with a staff member and he swam to the bottom to get her a shell, cleaned it properly and gave it to her. Husband loved the bar. Only gripe: a lower price should be charged for all under 21 yrs old since they don't get alcohol like the adults do but pay the same price.
