All Reviews for Ko Olina & West Coast

The best excursion of our trip!! Dolphin Excursions staff are very educated and professional. Keep the customer in mind.

I had an amazing day that exceeded my expectations! First of all, our guide, Julie, was truly wonderful and great at getting everyone excited, which raised our spirits even before we saw the dolphins! Unfortunately, there was a boat from a dolphin protection organization that day, so we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were still able to see many wild dolphins up close, which was very moving. (I've heard that days when you can't swim with the dolphins are quite rare, so don't worry.) We also got to see a baby dolphin swimming, which was even more touching. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling. You can rent a wetsuit for $10. Even those who can't swim can definitely give it a try. The atmosphere on the boat was fun throughout the day, making it a very fulfilling experience. I will definitely participate again!

予想以上に素晴らしい1日を過ごせました！まずガイドのジュリさんが本当に素敵な方で、盛り上げ上手なのでイルカを見る前からテンションが高まりました！実はこの日、イルカを保護する団体の船？が出ていたのでイルカと一緒に泳ぐことは残念ながら出来なかったのですが、それでも生で野生のイルカを沢山見ることが出来てとても感動しました。（これが理由でイルカと泳げない日はめったにないそうなので安心して下さい）また、赤ちゃんイルカが泳いでるのも見れて、更に感動でした。その後はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ウェットスーツを10$で借りることが出来ます。泳げない子も全然挑戦できます。船上でも、始終楽しい雰囲気作りをして下さっていたので1日が大変充実していました。また絶対参加します！

We participated in the tour with our two children (ages 4 and 2). We had a decent time, but the attractions available for the kids were limited, so I would like to revisit when they are a bit older.

子供２人（４歳と２歳）でツアーに参加しました。それなりに楽しめましたが、子供達の参加できるアトラクションが限られていましたので、もう少し、子供が大きくなってから改めて行きたいと思いました。

I participated with my colleagues from work! When I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to go into the ocean! I joined this activity because I wanted to snorkel in the beautiful sea!

The ocean in Hawaii is really beautiful! It's just so blue! We cruised on a boat for a while to our destination. There were unlimited soft drinks, and since it was early in the morning, we also had breakfast. It was the best to feel the nice breeze while gliding over the beautiful sea and sipping juice!

When we arrived at our destination, everyone joined in the search for dolphins! I was so happy to be the first to spot one! There were baby dolphins too, which made the excitement even greater!

After dolphin watching, we all went snorkeling. I never expected to encounter a sea turtle! It felt like we were swimming together!

There were so many fish, and I had no fear of the ocean at all! In the waters of Japan, it feels dark and a bit scary...

After thoroughly enjoying snorkeling, we had lunch! Being able to drink alcohol made it truly the best!

Above all, having a guide in Japanese allowed us to learn about the habits and knowledge of dolphins and sea turtles!

I want to go again!

職場の同僚と参加しました！
ハワイにきたら絶対海に入りたい！キレイな海をシュノーケリングしたいという気持ちからこのアクティビティに参加しました！

やっぱりハワイの海はとてもキレイ‼︎とにかく青い‼︎
しばらく船に乗って目的地までクルージング♡
ソフトドリンクが飲み放題で朝早い分ちゃんと朝食もありました。
気持ちい風にあたりながらキレイな海の上を走り、ジュースを飲んで最高♪♪

目的地に着くと、参加したみんなでイルカ探し♪
1番最初にみつけることができてハッピー！(´∀｀艸)
赤ちゃんイルカもいて楽しい気持ちが高まりました！

イルカウォッチングした後は、みんなでシュノーケリング♡
まさか、海ガメに出逢えるとは⁉︎
まるで一緒に泳いでるみたい♪

魚もたくさんいて、海への恐怖心が全くわかなかったです！日本の海だと暗くてなんだか怖い…

充分シュノーケリングを堪能した後は昼食！お酒も飲めてホントに最高でした！

なにより日本語でのガイドがあったからイルカや海ガメの習性や知識を学習でしました！

また行きたい！

Since being healed by wild dolphins four years ago, this was my second time participating. The first spot was filled with a school of dolphins swimming around, and it was over in the blink of an eye, but I was satisfied as dolphins crossed right in front of me and I could hear their voices. At the second spot, there were more than 50 dolphins, some of them were relaxing and there were even baby dolphins, which was incredibly healing and satisfying once again.

Also, while moving on the boat, I saw many dolphins performing spin jumps, as if they were saying, "Come back again!" I’m thinking of going to the Big Island next year.

４年前に野生のイルカに癒されて以来、２度目の入学でした。
１度目のポイントは泳ぎまくるイルカの群れでアッという間でしたが、目の前をイルカが横切るわ、イルカの声は聞けるわで満足。２度目のポイントでは、なんと約50頭以上の群れで、ゆったり寝ている状態で子供のイルカもいたりして、今回も癒されて大満足でした。
また、船で移動中にはイルカのスピンジャンプも多く見られ、また来いよ！と言われているようでした。
来年はハワイ島に行こうかな。

We booked a tour based on my husband's wish to ride the water slide, even though he can't swim. There were three options to choose from: a deluxe course with a barbecue lunch, a course with unlimited soft drinks, and a one-day pass. We opted for the one-day pass only.

We boarded an international Robart's bus filled with participants from various tours and headed straight to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii...

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by numerous giant water slides! Excited, we quickly entered the park. We rented a coin locker (large enough for two backpacks) for $18 (with $5 refunded after use) and stuffed our belongings inside before heading to the nearest water slide.

The only downside was that we had to carry our own inflatable rings up to the starting point on the stairs, but the slides themselves were thrilling and incredibly fun.

Perhaps because we visited in September, the park wasn't too crowded, and we were able to ride without much waiting. We rode the same slide almost three times each! The only tiring part was carrying the rings to the starting point, but it was truly a lot of fun. There aren't facilities like that in Japan.

If we have time during our stay in Hawaii, I would definitely want to go again!

We were able to buy lunch at noon without much waiting, so the one-day pass was more than sufficient.

泳げないくせにウォタースライダーに乗りたいという主人の希望で、ツアーを申し込みました。
バーベキューランチ付のデラックスコース、ソフトドリンクが飲み放題付のコース、1日パスのみのコースと3種類から選べるのですが、私たちは1日パスのみにしました。
いろいろなツアーから参加した国際色豊かなRobart'sバスに乗合いし、一路、ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイへ・・・

着いた途端、目に入ったのはたくさんの巨大なウォータースライダー！！
テンション上げ上げで、早速、園内へ。
コインロッカー（大：リュック2個分）を＄18で借り（＄5は、使用後返却してくれます）に荷物を押しこみ、いざ、一番近くにあったウォータースライダーへ行きました。
自分達で使用する浮き輪は、自分達で階段の上にあるスタート地点まで運ばなくてはいけないのが難点でしたが、スライダー自体は、どれもこれもスリル満点で本当に楽しかったです。

行ったのが9月だったからか園内に人はそんなに多くなく、ほとんど並ばずに、どんどん乗れました。同じスライダーに、ほぼ3回ずつ乗りました！
ただただ、やっぱりスタート地点まで浮き輪を運ぶことだけがしんどかったですが、本当にとても楽しかったです。
日本でもあれほどの施設はないですね。
ハワイでの滞在中に時間がある場合は、また是非行きたいです！

12時のランチにも殆ど並ぶこともなく、すんなりと買うことができたので、一日パスで十分でした。

The dolphin and turtle, 100 points. Subtracting 30 points for the unexpected above = 70 points! ♪

$150 for 2 people plus chips, so the dolphin swim at a certain aquarium might feel like a better deal.

オラオラの〇―さん。委員長？
トゲトゲした〇屋アンナ風のダミ声でイケイケのトーク！

イルカと亀、100点　引く　上記（予想外）マイナス30点　＝　70点だよ～♪

150ドル×2名　プラスchipなんで、某水族館のドルフィンスイムの方がお得感あるかもしれませんね。

I was able to see dolphins, and the ocean was very beautiful.

During the snorkeling, I also saw a turtle, which was very cute.

There was also a hula dance lesson, making it a packed tour.

Unfortunately, while there was a photographer, it seems that you can only have photos taken but cannot purchase them...

イルカも観れたし、海もとても綺麗でした。

その後のシュノーケリングでカメも観れてとても可愛かったです。

フラダンスレッスンもあり、盛りだくさんのツアーでした。

残念なのは、カメラマンさんがついているのですが、写真はとってもらうだけで購入はできないみたいです。。。

There were fewer Japanese participants, but there were Japanese instructions, and it was fun. We saw a sea turtle right after the boat left, and we also spotted rays. We encountered many pods of wild dolphins.

However, I got seasick right away, which was tough. I didn't think I was that prone to motion sickness, but it seems that smaller boats can make you feel queasy. It's a good idea to have motion sickness medication prepared. Breakfast and lunch were included, but the staff advised that those who are prone to seasickness should eat a light breakfast or skip it to avoid feeling sick. Unfortunately, I had already eaten by that time...

But snorkeling with the wild dolphins and enjoying the beautiful sea was amazing.

日本人参加者は少なめでしたが、日本語の案内もあり、楽しかったです。船がでてすぐにウミガメに会えたし、エイも見えました。野生イルカはたくさんの群れに出会えました。
ただ、すぐに船酔いしてしまい、大変でした。乗り物酔いはそんなにし易い方ではなかったはずなんですが、小型の船だとやっぱり酔いやすいです。酔い止めを用意しておいた方が安心です。朝食とランチ付きですが、酔いやすい人は朝食は少なめか食べない方が酔いにくいですよ、とスタッフにアドバイスされました。その時には私は食べちゃった後でしたが。。。
でも、野生イルカやキレイな海のシュノーケリングは最高でした。

I had a great time! However, most of the attractions required us to climb hills and stairs, and many of the inflatable rings were large and heavy, so we got tired carrying them up and sliding down. It was really fun.

Also, there were quite a few leaves and bugs floating in the pool, and since we mostly walked barefoot, the floor was really hot, which was tough. To top it off, some of the attractions occasionally stopped, possibly due to time limits, and there were times when there were no attendants around, so there were things we couldn't play on, which was disappointing.

とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道＆階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、疲れました。 とっても楽しかったです。
忠、落ち葉や虫がそこそこプールに浮かんでいたり、ほとんど裸足で歩くのですが、床がかなり熱いし、大変でした。極めつけは、時間制なのか遊具が時々ストップしていること、監視員みたいな人がいなくなるので、遊べなかったものがあり残念でした。

It was very interesting, with no time to rest as we moved from one thing to the next.

However, I was puzzled that, despite the mention of tips being included at the time of booking, there was a request for tips on-site.

Please either state that tips are not included or make it so that tips are not required on-site.

I plan to visit again! ★

休む暇なく次から次へとで、とても面白かったです。

ただ申し込み時にチップ込みと記載があったにも関わらず、現地でチップのお願いがあったのが疑問。

記載にチップは含みませんと書くか、現地でのチップを無しにするかどちらかにして下さい。

また遊びに行く予定です★

This was a great tour. Our tour guy, I believe his name is Sam was very helpful and funny. Sam was also very knowledgeable and he made the tour a memorable experience for us. We like the fact that we get to plan out our activities and get to see couple places at North Shore. The only suggestion that we think can improve for the tour is the activities in the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.

It was very refreshing to experience a place like this outdoors, as there are none like it in Japan. However, there were some concerns compared to Japanese pools. There were quite a few leaves and insects floating in the pool. There are areas where you walk barefoot, but the floor was quite hot. The lunch was a buffet, but it wasn't delicious. The all-you-can-drink containers were honestly difficult to hold and inconvenient.

I would like to go again if I have the chance.

野外でこのような形式の所は日本にはなくとても新鮮でした。
ただ所々、日本のプールと比べると気になるところがありました。
落ち葉や虫がそこそこプールに浮かんでいる。
裸足で歩く所がありますが、床がかなり熱い。
お昼はブッフェでしたが美味しくありませんでした。
飲み放題のドリンク容器は正直持ちづらく不便でした。

機会があればまた行きたいです。

Awesome adventure! Truly enjoyed being on a boat being overseen by experienced and helpful staff. Saw turtles and dolphins and snorkled as they swam around us. Great lunch too

I had the pleasure of using Dolphin University. In a word, it was amazing! We were blessed with good weather, got to visit the sacred site of Makua, met dolphins, and saw sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience. The staff, including class representative Sue, were very accommodating, and I had a lot of fun! I will definitely participate in Manta University next time! Thank you!

イルカ大学利用させていただきました。
一言で言うと最高でした！
天候にも恵まれ聖地マクアにもいけて、イルカにも会えて、ウミガメにも会えて文句なしで1番いい思い出になりました。
学級委員のスーさんをはじめスタッフの方の対応もよく凄く楽しかったです！ぜひつぎはマンタ大学に参加します！！ありがとうございました！

For some reason, whenever we think of Hawaii, the kids always want to come here. First, we grab a spot under the umbrella in front of the wave pool, and once we confirm it's available, we head to the thrilling slides as a family. There's a scale for everyone to weigh themselves before getting on, and I strangely dislike stepping on it. In a different way, we had a lot of fun this time too.

なぜかいつもハワイといえば子供達はここなのです。まず真っ先に波のプール前にある
パラソルの下に席を取り、空いているのを確認したら家族で絶叫スライダーです。乗り込む前の家族全員の体重を測る台があるのですがそこに乗る時が妙に嫌です。別な意味で
今回も楽しかったです。

We used the deluxe plan for a family of four. The shuttle bus arrived on time, allowing us to enter the park smoothly, and we were able to enjoy the pool and attractions.

However, when we arrived a bit late for the BBQ buffet during lunch, almost everything except for the grilled meat was gone, and there were no additional replenishments of fruits or salads. In the end, our lunch consisted of just a little rice and meat.

The plan mentioned that we would receive park souvenirs (a souvenir cup), but we didn't receive anything at all. Do we need to request it to get it?

The park itself is a very enjoyable place, and all the shuttle staff were kind, but if we go again, I think we might rent a car and skip the BBQ.

デラックスプランで家族４人で利用しました。
送迎バスも時間どおりに来てくれて、スムーズに入園でき、プール、アトラクションを楽しむことができました。
ＢＢＱバイキングは、ランチ時間に少し遅れていくと、焼き肉以外はほとんど無くなっていて、フルーツやサラダなど追加補充されることなく、結局、少しのご飯と肉だけのランチになってしまいました。
プラン内容にパーク記念品（おみやげカップ）がもらえる旨、書かれていますが、いっさい何ももらえませんでした。申告しないともらえないのですか？
パーク自体はとても楽しめる場所ですし、送迎スタッフの方も皆さん親切でしたが、次に行くとしたら、レンタカーでＢＢＱ付けずに行くかな？と思いました。

I participated because it had been my dream since childhood to swim with wild dolphins. I had to wear a life jacket the whole time, which was a bit disappointing compared to what I imagined a dolphin swim would be like, but I was moved when I heard the dolphins' voices and when they swam right underneath me. There were also many turtles that I could see up close, which was great. One downside was that the tour guide was a bit too talkative, which bothered me and made me feel uncomfortable during my time in Hawaii. There’s room for improvement, ◯-san... Also, it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim. The malasadas from Leonard's were delicious!

野生のイルカと泳ぐのが子どもの時からの夢だったので参加しました。ライフジャケットをずっと着用してなければいけないため、ドルフィンスイムを想像していくと少々期待はずれですがイルカの声が聞こえたりすぐ真下を通ったときは感動しました。カメもたくさんいて間近で見られ、とても良かったです。ひとつ残念だったのはツアーガイド?の方が、いつも一言多くていちいち勘に触ったので、ハワイに来て嫌な気分になりました。◯ーさん、改善の余地ありです…あと泳げない人は若干ツラいツアーかも。レナーズのマラサダおいしかった！

There are so many fun water slides that I've never experienced before! I played all day long and had a great time♪ However, most of the attractions require you to climb up hills and stairs, and many of them involve carrying large and heavy inner tubes yourself to slide down, so I was completely exhausted, more than during any other part of my trip to Hawaii. It might be tough for those who aren't very fit. But it's definitely worth a visit; I had so much fun!!

今までに経験したことのない楽しいウォータースライダーが沢山！１日いっぱい、遊び通しました。とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道＆階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、ハワイ旅行の中でもダントツでグッタリしました。体力のない人には辛いかもー
でも、一度は言ってみるべきですね、とっても楽しかったです！！

I thought the first boat would have a better encounter rate, but it was full, so we took the second boat. We departed the port after eating malasadas.

It took quite a while to reach the point where the dolphins were, but since it was summer vacation, there were seven children under 12 on board. Thanks to that, we were able to try three times and see dolphins each time, which was great. To be honest, it felt more like watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.

I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but after getting out of the water and heading to the next point, it was a bit chilly.

There was a place to store luggage under the seats on the boat, but in some spots, people got soaked from the waves.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point where we could see turtles and tried canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The stand-up paddleboarding felt more like paddling calmly on the sea like a canoe rather than riding the waves, and it seemed difficult to stand on the board.

On the way back, we had cheeseburgers. Along the way, we were also served warm tea, snacks, and juice.

Since we tried three times, there was no time to change, so everyone got on the bus in their swimsuits to return to the hotel. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and it was cold. Usually, it seems that people change in a spacious restroom.

Some experiences mention a strict guide, but we had a Japanese male guide who was very good.

第１便の方が遭遇率が良いのかと思いましたが、満員で第２便の出発となりました。
マラサダを食べてから港を出発。

イルカのいるポイントまで随分かかりましたが、この日夏休みと言うこともあり12歳以下の子供が７人もいると言う話でしたが、おかげで３回もチャレンジして頂き３回ともイルカを見ることが出来て良かったです。
正直一緒に泳ぐと言うかは水中でイルカが泳いでいるのを見ると言った感じでした。

私は長袖のラッシュガードを着用して行ったのでウェットスーツはレンタルしませんでしたが、海から上がりまた次のポイントまで船を走らせると少し肌寒かったです。

手荷物は船の座席の下にしまう場所がありましたが場所によっては波がかかりずぶ濡れになってる人もいました。

その後カメに会えるシュノーケルポイントに移動しカヌーやスタンダップ・パドルボードに挑戦。
スタンダップパドルは波に乗ると言うよりカヌーの様に穏やかな海の上を漕ぐだけでしたがボードに立つのが難しい様でした。

そして帰りながらチーズバーガーを頂きました。途中温かいお茶やスナック菓子やジュースも出ました。

今回は３回もチャレンジしたので時間が無く着替える時間も無かったので、皆水着のままバスに乗りホテルに帰りました。
バスの中はクーラーがガンガンに効いてて寒かったです。
普段は広めのトイレで着替えるようです。

体験談の中には厳しい口調のガイドだった事も書かれていますが、私達は日本人男性のガイドさんでとても良かったです。

You can swim with dolphins! It's tougher than you might imagine because they are wild animals. There are many challenging aspects, but it was a great tour that provided a lot of enjoyment.

イルカと一緒に泳げます！
想像以上に泳げないと厳しいです。だって相手が野生なので。
色々と厳しいポイントも多いですが、色々と楽しませてくれるいいツアーでした。

Wow, we had the best time flying with Sandy and felt comfortable the entire time! The view from above is amazing and being in a helicopter is a "must" experience... And this is coming from someone afraid of flying! Great to see the Sacred Waterfall up close, the USS Arizona under water with the oil leak drifting off was unique, and just the mountains and valleys and ocean views are all beyond beautiful! I'd do it again...

Don't just settle for the ocean in Hawaii! I was greedy and went to the pool. Since there was a shuttle service, we went straight from the hotel to the pool. Choosing the plan that included meals and drinks on-site was definitely the right choice!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a large-sized juice holder as a gift, which was great for carrying around. Also, my partner's first bodyboarding experience was hilarious! In the end, they managed to ride the board well (^o^).

I highly recommend this for families with small children. Sunscreen and comfortable beach sandals are essential items.

ハワイの海だけではもったいない！と欲張ってプールへ。送迎付きなのでホテルからプールまで直行。施設内の食事＆飲み物付プランを選んで正解！
なんとラージサイズ以上のジュースホルダーがプレゼントされ、どこへでも持ち運びできるのが良かったです。
また、相方の初ボディーボード体験は爆笑！最後は上手に乗れてましたよ(^o^)
小さなお子様や、家族連れの方には絶対おすすめです。
日焼け止めと、歩きやすいビーチサンダルは必須アイテムです。

Timely pick-up, great folks, and tasty food. Oh, and did I mention dolphins! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can say that this is by far the best dolphin snorkel I've been on. I got my gear within 5 minutes of check-in and put in my lunch choice. Dolphin Excursions is an educationally based tour company and some of the people there are marine biologists. They seemed to read the behavior of the dolphins very well. The baby spinner dolphins are super cute! This is a great time of year because the dolphins are having babies so they are fun to watch. We went out about 3 times to snorkel, twice with the dolphins so close. I have never seen so many dolphins with me in the water, and you can even hear them 'singing' before you see them. When we got back, lunch was already made. The food is great at Spinner's Cafe, and the people are courteous. I had a great time and can say that many others did as well.

This time, I entered early. Thanks to that, I was able to ski a lot without waiting! By around noon, there was a line, so I was glad I managed my time well.

今回はアーリータイムで入場しました。おかげで待たずにたくさん滑れました！昼くらいには行列ができていたので時間を上手に使えて良かったです。

We participated with our 4-year-old and 7-year-old children, as a couple in our 30s. The 7-year-old was able to enjoy many large attractions. There were plenty of thrilling slides that are perfect for kids who love roller coasters. The 4-year-old also had a great time without getting bored, thanks to the wave pool, lazy river, and a pool specifically for small children.

I noticed that the lifeguards were very strict, blowing their whistles loudly to warn against even minor dangerous behaviors (like small children going into deep areas). It seemed that a life jacket was mandatory for the 4-year-old in slightly deeper areas, and they were scolded for not wearing one. I think this contributes to fewer accidents (although it was a bit scary).

As for the slides, I usually struggle with roller coasters, but I rode some that were quite powerful and thrilling, and they were over in an instant (laughs). There wasn't even time to feel scared.

Since the sun is quite strong, I think it's especially important for small children to wear sunscreen and rash guards, or they could get burned (my husband had a tough time with sunburn afterward). Overall, it was a very good experience.

４歳と７歳の子供と、30代の夫婦で参加しました。
７歳の子供は、たくさんの大きなアトラクションに参加することが出来ました。
ジェットコースターなどが好きなお子様には、ぴったりのスリル満点の滑り台などが多かったです。
４歳の子供も、波のプールや、流れるプール、小さな子供専用のプールがあったので、退屈せずに楽しめました。
気がついたことは、プールの監視員がとても厳しく、少しの危険行為でもピー‼︎と大きく笛で注意していました。(小さな子供が深い所に行くなど)
４歳の子供も、少し深い所ではライフジャケットが必須のようで、怒られました。
その分、事故が少ないんだろうと思いました。(多少怖かったですが…)
滑り台も、普段ジェットコースターなどが苦手ですが、かなり迫力とスリルがあるものに乗りましたが、一瞬で終わるほどのスピードでした(笑)
怖さを感じる時間もありませんでした。
日差しがやはり強いので、日焼け止めやラッシュガードを着ていないと、火傷をしてしまう位ですので、小さなお子様は特に注意した方が良いと思いました。(主人がその後日焼けが大変でした)
総合的に、とても良かったです。

First day at Iruka University! This time, the staff was very energetic and taught us a lot about the ocean, so thank you for the enjoyable time!

When searching for dolphins, we were ready to go as soon as we spotted them! At first, it felt a bit intense until we got used to it, but they really helped us encounter wild dolphins, and we were able to see a large pod with our own eyes. When I submerged my ears in the water, I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls, which was incredibly exciting!

At Ryugu Castle, a wild honu (sea turtle) came within 50 centimeters, and I was so thrilled to be able to touch it! I was desperately trying to stay still on the surface, but the honu gracefully dove without touching me, making it a very rare experience! On the boat, there was no time to be bored, and I had a fulfilling and fun day. I definitely want to participate again next time!

One disappointing thing was that there were professional photographers taking pictures, and when I purchased the data ($60), I received photos of all participants, but I had fewer pictures than other families. It felt a bit disappointing since I paid the same amount as others. I think participants should definitely approach the photographers and ask for more photos!

いるか大学初登校！今回はスタッフの皆さんとても元気で海のあれこれたくさん教えてもらって楽しぃ時間をありがとうございました！
イルカ探しは、見つけ次第すぐスタンバイ！慣れるまでスパルタ感に思ってしまいましたが(^^)野生のイルカとの遭遇に一生懸命引っ張って行ってくださってしっかりイルカの大群を目で見られたし海中に耳を浸けているとキューキューキューてイルカの鳴き声もしっかり聞けて大感激⭐︎^o^
竜宮城では野生のホヌさんが50センチの近距離まできて触れたらヤバイ！って必死に水面でじっとしていたのですがホヌさんが、スゥーッと触れることなく無事潜ってくれたり〜とっても貴重な体験が出来ました！船の上ではぼーっとしてる暇はなくとても充実した楽しい1日を過ごせました、次もまた参加したいですね！
残念なのは一つプロカメラマン方もいらっしゃって撮ってくださっていたのですが、データ購入（60ドル）してみてみたら参加者全員のデータをいただきましたが他の家族の撮影枚数より少なく、他の方と同じ額払ってるのに…と少し残念な感じでした。参加される方は、ぜひぜひ積極的にカメラマンに近寄って撮ってもらった方が得！と思います^_^

We entered at 10:30 and enjoyed all the activities. It was tough to carry the rubber boats, like the Tornado, with everyone, but we went multiple times with our kids, who are in 4th and 1st grade. We went by rental car, and after 3 PM, there were no more tour groups, so we were able to play until nearly 4 PM, past the closing time of 3:30. During that time, there were few customers, and we could enjoy everything as much as we wanted. The Shaka looks scary, but once you try it, you can do it over and over again. We had a fantastic day!

10:30から入場し、すべてのアクティビティを堪能しました。
トルネード等、自分の使うゴムボートを全員で運び上げなければならないのが大変でしたが、それでも小４、中１の子供たちと何度もいきました。
私たちはレンタカーで行ったのですが、15時過ぎになるとツアーできている人がいなくなり、その後、終了時間の15:30を超えて16時近くまで遊べました。その間はお客さんも少なくどれも遊び放題です。
シャカは見た目怖いですが、体験すると何度でもできるレベル。一日堪能できました。

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。
