It had an intensity that you don't find in Japan, and it was fun. There were slides named Tornado and Twist, and they were indeed just as described.

I apply for this tour every year, and every year, Japanese student part-timers have handled the reception (name verification and wristband distribution). However, this year, the driver (who did not speak Japanese) managed everything alone, which caused a significant delay at the reception, resulting in a departure that was 50 minutes late from the scheduled time. This is the only negative point.
It seems to be due to cost-cutting on labor, but since this is a service industry aimed at Japanese customers, I believe that if the service in this area deteriorates, the number of participants will decrease. The facility itself was the same as always, and I was able to enjoy it.
毎年このツアーを申し込んでいますが、毎年、日本人の学生のアルバイトの方が、受付(氏名確認やリストバンド配布)などを行っていたのですが、今年はドライバーの方(日本語NG)が一人でやっていたため、受付に大変時間がかかり、集合時間の50分遅れで出発となりました。この点だけマイナスポイントです。
人件費削減等によるものと思われますが、日本人相手のサービス業なので、
この辺のサービスが悪くなると参加者が減ると思います。
施設自体はいつもと変わりなく、楽しむことが出来ました。

The girls were very knowledgeable and friendly - Jenna even made a nest of life jackets for me in the bow to lay out and get some sun when I was done swimming! They took us to an area with plenty of dolphins to see, and a few were as close as 5 feet away!

I stayed at Aulani in October. Although I was alone, there were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations, so I had no issues. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I was able to see many sea turtles while snorkeling, and I enjoyed spending an hour in the ocean, which was great. For breakfast, I had pastries, and for lunch, I made sandwiches with bread, vegetables, cheese, and ham as I liked. Eating after snorkeling on the yacht was very delicious and satisfying. However, there was one issue. I happened to share the same last name with another group of Japanese guests, and it was mistakenly noted that I wasn't participating. After returning home, I contacted them, and they responded politely, which was good. When I go to Hawaii again in July next year, I would like to participate with my family.
10月アウラニ宿泊時に利用しました。1人でしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、しっかり説明をしてくれたので問題はありませんでした。イルカには会えませんでしたが、シュノーケルでウミガメをたくさん見られ、1時間じっくり海で楽しめたので良かったです。朝食には菓子パン、昼食はパンに野菜やチーズ、ハムを好きに挟んで食べました。ヨットの上でシュノーケル後に食べるととても美味しく満足でした。ただ一点問題がありました。もう一組の日本人とたまたま同姓で、私が参加していないことになっていました。帰国後連絡したところ、丁寧に対応していただけましたので良かったです。来年7月にハワイに行く時は、家族と一緒に参加したいと思います。

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.

I had so much fun participating. I was a bit worried about not being able to meet the dolphins, but that didn't matter at all. They came to meet us. The dolphins were very graceful.
I also want to live my life with grace and composure every day.
Additionally, the motto "Always be positive" really resonated with me. I will take it as a life lesson. "Always be positive" and "Even in tough times, never lose your smile."
参加してほんとーーーーーーに楽しかったです。
イルカに会えなかったらどうしようって若干不安でしたが、そんなの関係なし。
向こうから会いに来てくれました。

When entering, the baggage inspection is very thorough, so please be aware that snacks and candies will be confiscated. The poolside can get very hot when walking barefoot, so be careful. As rumored, the thrilling water slide is very intense and full of excitement. The hours vary depending on the type of pool, so it would be good to enjoy it while keeping that in mind.

It was pleasantly quiet, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time. All the attractions made the kids very happy, but perhaps because it was the off-peak season, they were operating every 30 minutes. We opted for the free drink plan, but I was disappointed that the juice didn't have much carbonation.

We use this place every time as a family. Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii is the best deal for this tour, in my opinion. You can enter one hour before the park opens, so you can secure beach beds. However, most of the pools are not accessible until the official opening time, so basically, you spend that hour relaxing. This time, several slides were operational, and we enjoyed them with the kids. Since you can play on the slides with hardly any waiting, you can also spend the afternoon relaxing or taking a nap. The water activities in Hawaii are fantastic and, above all, being able to enjoy the slides without much waiting is something you can't find in Japan.
家族で毎回利用しています。ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ はこのツアーが一番お得だとおもいます。入園時間より1時間前に入れるので、ビーチベットも確保できます。ただし、プール自体は、ほとんどがオープン時間になるまで入れませんので、基本的に、のんびり1時間すごす、というかんじになります。今回は、スライダーがいくつか動いていたので、それを子供と楽しみました。スライダーがほとんど並ばずに遊べるので、午後はのんびり、お昼寝などしてすごすこともできます。海とはまた違う、ハワイの水遊びは最高ですし、なんといっても、スライダーがほとんど並ばずにできるというのは、日本ではないことだと思います。

There are two adjacent kids' pools, and we spent a relaxing time in the area suitable for the smallest children. We couldn't use floaties, so we brought arm rings from Japan to play with. In addition to the children's pool, there are also a lazy river and a wave pool that even small children can enjoy, so we visited those as well. On the return shuttle bus, the kids were very satisfied and fell into a deep sleep. Unlike the sea, the water isn't salty, so I felt安心 even when their faces got wet.
キッズ用のプールが隣り合わせ2か所あり、一番小さい子供が遊べる場所で、ゆったりと過ごしました。浮き輪が使えなく、アームリングを日本から持参して、遊びました。子供プールのほか、流れるプールや、波のプールも、小さい子供でも利用できるので、そちらにも足を運び、帰りの送迎バスでは、子供たちも大満足で爆睡しました。海と違い、塩水ではないので、顔がぬれても、安心でした。

The lunch on the boat looked like they were grilling on board in the photos, but I couldn't tell if they were actually grilling or if it was pre-cooked; it just felt like they handed it to us sandwiched in bread.
I was really thrilled to see the dolphins, but I had high expectations for other aspects as well...

In the past few years, I've been to Hawaii, but this was my first time participating in Dolphin University. In the first hour, I encountered a group of about 20 dolphin instructors, which was incomparable to any dolphin watching experiences I've had before. In the second hour, while I was mesmerized by a sea turtle instructor swimming leisurely on the ocean floor, another sea turtle instructor passed right in front of me!
My wife, who noticed the approaching turtle first, later told me that she panicked and said, "I heard there's a $3,000 fine for touching a sea turtle, but how much is the fine if we bump into one?" We had a good laugh about it afterward. I would love to enroll again next time, and after that, I want to go to Manta University as well. However, I do feel a bit anxious about whether I can have an experience as moving as this one again; it was such a luxurious experience.
ここ数年、ハワイに行っていますが、初めてイルカ大学に参加。1時間目、今まで参加したイルカウォッチングとは比較にならない団体、20頭位?のイルカ先生に遭遇。2時間目は、海底をゆったり泳ぐウミガメ先生に見とれていたら、、、超目の前を別のウミガメ先生が通過!
接近してくる先生に先に気づいた家内は「ウミガメに触ったら、罰金3000ドルって聞いてたけど、ぶつかったら、罰金は幾ら?」と大慌てになったと、後で聞いて大笑いしました。また次回も入学したいですし、その後はマンタ大学にも行きたいですね。でも、今回以上の感動が得られるのか、、、ちょっと不安も感じるくらい贅沢な体験でした。

"We enjoyed the thrilling water slide! / Summer limited plan! Standard / With shuttle service" - we participated as a family of four with our high school and middle school kids.
At first, we only planned to buy tickets, but we found a limited plan that allowed us to enter an hour early, and we decided to join without hesitation, which turned out to be a great decision! We secured our chairs before it got crowded, and since we had researched strategies in advance, we started with the moving slide! The wait times were only about 5 to 10 minutes for everything, and it was truly fun. However, the lazy river only had one spot with strong currents, so it didn't flow very well, and one round was enough.
We also opted for the drink package, but we had to order at the food corner, which was always crowded regardless of the time. Waiting in line for a single drink felt like a waste of time, so I thought it might have been better not to include it.
Additionally, there were over ten buses parked at the lot when we were leaving, and we were confused about which one to take. In the crowd, we found a Japanese staff member and confirmed that the number written on the wristband we received during the morning pickup indicated the bus number. Perhaps there was an announcement in the video guide, but I wish they had informed us about it when we received the wristbands.
When we go to Hawaii again, we will definitely come back!
「絶叫ウォータースライダーを楽しもう! / 夏限定プラン!スタンダード / 送迎付き 」に高校生と中学生の子供達と家族4人で参加しました。
初めは チケットのみ購入するつもりでしたが、1時間早く入場できる限定プランをみつけ 迷わず参加しましたが これが大正解!!
込み合う前に チェアーの場所をゲットし 事前に攻略法で調べておいたので 動いているスライダーからチャレンジしました! 待ち時間もどれも5分~10分ぐらいで 本当に楽しかったです。 ただ 流れるプールは 1箇所ぐらいだけ水流が強いだけなので なかなか流れないプールで 1周で充分でした。 また ドリンク付きにしましたが フードコーナーでオーダーしなければならず ここは、時間に関係なく常に混んでいて ドリンク1杯で並ぶのが時間がもったいなく 付けなくっても良かったかなーと思いました。 また、 帰りのバスは駐車場に10台以上停まっていて どれに乗っていいのか困ってしまいました。人ごみの中で 日本語のスタッフを見つけ 確認をしたところ 朝 ピックアップの時に付けてもらったリストバンドに数字が書いてあり それが バスの番号でした。 もしかしたら ビデオ案内の中でお知らせがあったのかもしれませんが 装着の時に 一言 知らせてくれたら良かったのにと思います。
また ハワイに行った時には 絶対 行きます!

We participated in this tour as a family of five. We were able to enter an hour earlier than general admission, which allowed us to experience popular attractions first. The kids were thrilled, screaming with joy as they played. There were attractions that we can't experience in Japan, and while waiting in line, we were excitedly wondering what the next one would be. We enjoyed the same attractions multiple times and tried everything. At the end, we relaxed in the pool and the wave pool, talking about how we want to come back again. Time flies when you're having fun, and before we knew it, it was already time to go home. Since our bus was scheduled for just after three, I think it would have been even better if we could have played a little longer. But if we come to Hawaii again, we definitely want to visit here. Thank you for the wonderful time!

There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

L'escursione è stata nel complesso molto bella, ma il servizio navetta per portarti dall'hotel al porto dove partiva il catamarano è stato veramente scadente, all'andata non c'era posto per tutti e due ragazze si sono fatte 40 minuti di strada in piedi, al ritorno abbiamo aspettato circa 40 minuti perchè la navetta ha ritardato.

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!
The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!
The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!

I attended with my fiancé, who is in his 30s, as we are about to get married soon.
The voucher instructed us to call Dolphin University as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made the call. After being asked for our names, date, and where we made the reservation, we had to wait quite a while, which made me anxious about whether our reservation was actually confirmed.
However, we were indeed booked and were able to participate without any issues. Most of the participants seemed to be in their 20s. There was a lively announcement on the bus as well.
We were able to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. In particular, we got to see the turtles and tropical fish quite closely. I brought a waterproof camera, but when it came time to see the dolphins, I felt a bit uneasy and went into the water without it. In hindsight, I wish I had taken some photos.
We were able to meet the dolphins and turtles without much swimming, but I got tired from the marine sports and ended up just watching. Even just watching was enjoyable.
The photos taken by a professional photographer were sold on DVD and CD-ROM for about $60, which included everyone from the tour. I considered purchasing just the well-taken photos of us, but since the price was somewhat high and there were strangers in the pictures, I decided against it. It would have been nice if they offered individual photo sales.
It was a day with very little wind, and we were able to meet the dolphins close to the shore, but there were some people who got seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to prepare accordingly. Also, even on sunny days with strong sunlight, when you get back on the boat after being in the water, the wind can feel cold, so I think women should either rent a wetsuit ($10) or bring something to cover up.

よく撮れた自分たちの写真だけ、とかなら購入を検討したのですが、お値段もそこそこするし、見ず知らずの人が写っていても…ということで購入しませんでした。
個別の写真販売があったら良いのになぁ。
風もほとんどなく、岸から近い場所ですぐにイルカと会えた日だったのですが船酔いしている人もいたので、酔い止めが必要な人は用意した方がよいかもしれません。
また、晴れて日差しが強い日でも、海から上がって船が動くと風が冷たく感じるので、女性はウェットスーツ(10ドル)を借りるか、羽織るものを持って行った方がよいと思います。

How many Tokyo Domes is that? It might be true, but it didn't feel that spacious. Considering the price, it felt about right.
東京ドーム○個分? 確かにそうかもしれないが、そんなだだっ広い感じはしなかった。値段からいえば、まあそんなとこかなって感じ。

Mandy & Ali were great guides during the entire excursion. We arrived at our destination to pick our food options and grab our snorkeling gear. No restroom on the boat so please go before getting on the boat! You can bring your own drink & snack on the boat since lunch won't be til afterwards. We swam w/ spinner dolphins at our 1st spot. It was so amazing to see the baby dolphins! We explored the reef at our 2nd spot, which had so many different kinds of fishes. Ali swam to us w/ a starfish & other things for pictures & even explained to us what we were holding. After this, they took us out to see the spotted dolphins (Hawaiian name "kiko"). There were sooo many of them riding our waves, swimming under the boat, & flipping in the air. It was so amazing to watch. They explained they were hunting & they hardly see these dolphins. Afterwards, you go back to eat lunch then head back to your hotel. This was the highlight of my trip & I plan to do this again when I come back!

There were many types of slides, but not all of them were operational. Depending on the time, some were available while others were not, and I didn't quite understand the system. The wave pool was also not always available, and after a long wait, we could only play for a short time after a group using bodyboards had priority. The food stall was quite crowded as well, and we had to wait a long time for the teriyaki burger to be ready. In the end, I even forgot to receive the bacon I ordered, which was frustrating.
The only saving grace was that my 8-year-old son enjoyed himself the entire time we were there, creating good memories for him. He especially loved the kids' slide and went down it over and over again with joy.
For those planning to visit, please note that the ground at the facility gets very hot, and my elderly father burned his toes. Beach sandals are essential for walking. Also, I think choosing a plan that includes bodyboarding in the wave pool would be much more enjoyable. The staff were mostly young and unfriendly, so just keep that in mind when participating in the tour. Additionally, even though we were supposed to enter an hour early, we had to wait over 30 minutes before the children's pool was available, which was unacceptable. It would have been better if there had been prior explanations.
スライダーの種類は多かったのに、全て稼働している訳ではなく、時間によって利用出来たり出来なかったり、システムが良く分かりませんでした。波の出るプールも常時利用出来る訳ではなく、かなり待たされた挙句、ボディボードの集団が優先的に利用した後に、短い時間でしか遊べませんでした。売店もかなりの混み具合で、ここでも照り焼きバーガーが出るまでにかなり待たされ、挙句の果てにオーダーしたベーコンをもらい忘れる羽目になり、散々でした。
唯一の救いは8歳の息子が、施設に入ってから退園するまでずっと楽しんでいたので、子供には良い思い出になったことです。特に、子供用のスライダーは大のお気に入りで、何回も何回も滑って喜んでいました。
これから利用される方に注意点として、施設の地面はかなりの熱さで同行した高齢の父は足の指をやけどしました。歩く時にはビーチサンダルが不可欠です。それから、波の出るプールはボディーボードを利用したプランを選んだ方が全然楽しめると思いました。施設のスタッフは若い人が多く、無愛想なのでそんなもんだと思ってツアーに参加して下さい。また、1時間早く入園出来たはずなのに、子供用のプールが利用出来るまでに30分以上待たされたのは、納得いきませんでした。事前の説明があればよかったのですが。
