Bodyboarding is definitely the way to go! After receiving the experience ticket on the bus heading to the park, we headed straight to the Big Splash area upon arrival. Riding the fast waves that push you up from below was an amazing experience for a few minutes. After enjoying a delicious BBQ lunch, we participated in a bodyboarding lesson in the wave pool in the afternoon. This was also a truly fun time. If you go to Hawaii, visiting this park is an absolute must!
ずばりボディボードでしょう!ホテルからパークに向かうバスの中で渡された体験チケットを利用して到着後早速ビッグスプラッシュの場所へ直行。下から上へ押し上げつ高速の波にうまくのり、数分間のビッグウェーブ体験、最高でした。お昼においしいBBQランチを食べた後、午後からは波の出るプールでのボディボードレッスンに参加。これも本当に楽しい時間でした。ハワイに行ったら必ずこのパークを訪れること、絶対お勧めです!!

Hawaii is all about the ocean! However, I thought that might not be enough for elementary school children, so I was looking for some good activities on Alan-chan and found this place. I imagined a similar pool facility that exists in Japan, and while I was worried that it would be crowded because of summer vacation, I signed up for a total of five people: two adults and three children under elementary school age. We were picked up from the hotel and headed to the location, but I was surprised when we arrived! Each attraction was not crowded at all, and we were able to enjoy all the attractions very smoothly. The facility had areas for adults only, as well as shallow pool areas where small children could safely play, making it a place where both adults and children could be satisfied.
ハワイは海!とは言え、それだけでは小学生の子供達にはもの足りないだろうと思い、何か良いアクテビティはないものかとアランちゃんで探していたところ、ここを見つけました。日本にもある同様のプール施設を想像していた私は、「夏休みだから混んでいるんだろうな」と不安に思いつつも大人2人・小学生以下の子供3人の計5人で申し込み、参加しました。ホテルからの送迎つきで現地に向かいましたが、着いてみてびっくり!各アトラクションは混んでいることもなく、非常にスムーズに全てのアトラクションを楽しむことができました。場内には大人だけで過ごせるエリア、小さい子供も安心して入れる浅いプールのエリアと、いろいろな配慮がなされ、大人も子供も満足できる施設でした。

We decided to go because two children can enter for free, and there’s no doubt that this is an activity on a scale not found in Japan. It’s very interesting.
Especially the elementary school kids were playing non-stop without even eating. The shuttle picked us up right at the hotel entrance, and it was as simple as handing over the voucher; we could just sleep until we arrived. It took about 40 minutes to get there, and we took a commemorative photo. If you like it, you can buy something on the way back, but it's up to you. The locker fee of five dollars is an additional charge, but once you pay it, you can open and close it as many times as you want, so I think it’s worth it.
On weekdays, there’s no need to wait in line inside, and the time until we headed back flew by. At first, I thought it was just a pool in Hawaii, but I heard after returning that it became the kids' best memory of the trip.
2人の子供が無料になるという理由で行ってみましたが、日本には無いスケールのアクティビティであることは間違いありません。非常に面白いです。
特に小学生の子供たちは食事をせずに遊びまくっていました。送迎はホテル玄関まで迎えに来てくれ、バウチャーを渡すだけと簡単、到着するまでの間は寝ていればよし。40分ほどで到着して記念写真をパチリ。気に入れば帰りに買うことができますが自由です。ロッカー5ドルは別払いですが、一度払えば何度でも開け閉めできますので、利用価値は高いと思います。
平日は場内で並ぶようなことも無く、帰りまでの時間はあっという間です。
最初はハワイでプールかよと思いましたが、子供の一番の思い出になったアクティビティだったと帰国してから聞かされました。

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time at Hawaiian Waters Park. I participated with my family of three. I initially joined for my 9-year-old son, but I ended up enjoying it as well. I referred to the reviews on the Voice Center, so it was a good decision to choose the package without meals. We visited on Sunday, November 12, and there were few people, so we hardly had to wait in line, allowing my son and me to run around the park together. There was a boogie board lesson, and while the lesson fee was included in the package without meals, the rental fee was not, which required an additional $10. There were only a few boards left, and I had to rush back to get the $10, but I managed to make it in time.
We gathered at 2:45 PM and played for about four full hours, but it did feel a bit short. We arrived in Waikiki around 4 PM, so we could take a break at the hotel and then go shopping, which my wife said was the best timing. It might be better to leave you wanting a little more.
Also, I took advantage of the free child campaign, which was a great help cost-wise. I'm planning to go to Hawaii again next year, so I definitely want to participate again. Thank you, Alan!
ハワイは今回で6回目くらいですが、ハワイアンウォーターズパークは初めてでした。家族3人で参加しました。9才の息子のためと思って参加したのですが、私もはまってしまいました。ボイスセンターの書き込みを参考にしていたので、食事なしのコースにして正解でした。11月12日の日曜日の参加でしたが人が少なくほとんど並ぶことなく、息子と2人で園内を走りまわっていました。ブギーボードのレッスンがあったのですが、食事なしコースはレッスン代は含まれているのですがレンタル代が含まれてなく、10ドル必要でボードの枚数も残り少なく、10ドルを取に戻ったりとばたばたでした。何とか間に合いましたが。
2時45分集合と言う事で約4時間フルに遊びまわりましたが、確かに短いような気がしました。ワイキキの到着が4時頃なのでホテルで一休みして、またショッピングなど行けるので妻はこの位の時間がベストじゃないのといってました。少し物足りない位の方が良いのかも。
それと子供無料キャンペーンを利用したので、コスト的にも非常に助かりました。来年もハワイに行くので、また是非参加したいと思います。アランさん有難う御座いました。

This time, I participated with my wife and our two daughters, making it a family of four. On the bus ride there, our guide KAZU's entertaining talk made the kids happy, and above all, the unlimited access to attractions without the crowds was fantastic. Since the playtime is short (about 4 hours in reality), I think it's better to enjoy the attractions without meals. The free admission for children is truly appreciated... I would love to go again if the opportunity arises.
今回は妻と娘2人のファミリー4人で参加しました。行きのバスではガイドKAZUさんの楽しいトークで子供も喜んでいましたし、何より混雑無く乗り放題のアトラクションが最高でした。遊べる時間が短いので(実質4時間程度)食事なしで遊びまくったほうが良いと思います。やっぱり子供無料サービスが大変ありがたいです。。。また機会があれば行きたいと思います。

We decided to come here as a family for our first trip to Hawaii. Both adults and children had a great time. Perhaps it was the warm climate, the air, and the sense of openness in Hawaii, but the theme park allowed adults to return to their childhood, even if a little shyly. Each attraction was dynamic, and the scale was vastly different from Japanese theme parks. Moreover, attractions like Cliffhanger and Shaka, which are thrilling, were harmoniously combined with more relaxing attractions like Kapolei Cooler, making it a very enjoyable and pleasant theme park. The kids were so impressed that they equated Hawaii with this park. Honestly, I was blown away by Shaka (the half-pipe slide). For roller coaster enthusiasts, this place is irresistible. I will definitely return on my next trip to Hawaii, of course with Alan.
初めてのハワイを家族でどこにいこうかと考えて、ここに決めました。
大人も子供もとても楽しむことができました。
ハワイという暖かい気候と空気そして開放感からか、大人も恥ずかしながら童心にかえる事ができたテーマパークでした。
一つ一つのアトラクションが、ダイナミックで、日本のテーマパークのスケールとは大違いでした。
それでいて、クリフ*ハンガー、シャカ、のような動のアトラクションと、カポレイ*クーラーのような静のアトラクションが調和されていて、とても楽しい、心地よいテーマパークでした。
子供たちは、ハワイ、イコールこのパークと思い込むぐらいインパクトの強いパークでした。
いやいや、シャカ(ハーフパイプ状のスライダー)には、ちびりました。ほんと。
ここはジェットコースター好きの方は、たまらないでしょう。
今度のハワイでもリピートします。もちろんアランちゃんで。

We were really looking forward to it as a family, but on the day, it was unfortunately pouring rain! Although we changed into our swimsuits, the rain and cold made it feel like swimming was out of the question. However, the kids boldly jumped in without a care. The facility was so appealing that I couldn't help but wish for better weather...
The pool itself was well-equipped, and there were plenty of lifeguards, which made it feel safe and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the changing rooms and shower areas were not very hygienic and were difficult to use. Overall, the attractions were decent, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day.
親子でとても楽しみにしてたのに、当日は無常にもあいにくの土砂降り!!
水着には着替えたものの、雨と寒さでとてもプールどころではない感じだったのですが、子供たちはそれでもお構い無しに果敢に飛び込んでいました。
それほど魅力的な施設だっただけに、天候さえ良ければ・・・と恨めしく思うばかりでした。
プールそのものは充実しており、監視員の方も大勢いて安心かつ楽しめそうだったのですが、残念なことは更衣室やシャワールーム等があまり衛生的ではなく、使いにくかった点です。
ただ内容的にはまずまずのアトラクションですので、今度は天気の良い日にもう一度訪れてみたいなと思います。

I participated on October 27. I arrived in Oahu on the 23rd and spent most of my time shopping, so I felt a bit guilty towards my child. However, I think bringing them to this facility helped make up for it. My child is still small, so they couldn't experience thrilling slides, but they were more than satisfied just playing on the slides and equipment in the children's zone. Even though it's a children's zone, the slides and other attractions are enjoyable for adults as well, so parents could have fun without getting bored. The downside is the short duration of stay, but there's not much that can be done unless the facility's hours are extended. Paying the regular adult and child fees might feel a bit pricey, but taking advantage of Alan's free child admission system makes it feel like a good deal, and overall, I think it's satisfying. Also, the locker keys are self-managed, allowing you to open and close them freely throughout the day (locker usage fee is charged), so you can bring cameras, videos, or cash without worrying about theft while playing. Considering the duration of stay, it would be better to grab a meal at the food stand inside the facility.
10月27日に参加しました。 23日にオアフ島に到着し買い物ばかりにつき合わせていたので、子供には悪いな~と思っていましたが、こちらの施設に連れてきて罪滅ぼしになったかなと思いました。 私の子供はまだ小さいのでスリリングなスライダー等は体験できませんでしたが、子供ゾーンの滑り台や遊具での遊びだけでも十分に満足していました。 子供ゾーンといえども、滑り台等は大人でも楽しめる物なので、親も飽きる事無く楽しめました。 マイナス点は、滞在時間が短い事ですが、施設の営業時間が延長されない限り仕方が無いでしょうね。 大人料金と子供料金を正規で支払っては割高感があるでしょうがALANさんの子供料金タダのシステムを利用させて頂けばお得感も有り、トータル的に満足出来ると思います。 あと、ロッカーの鍵は自己管理で終日開け閉めは自由に出来ます(ロッカー使用料は有料)ので、カメラやビデオ又は現金等を持っていっても、盗難等気にせずに遊べますよ。 食事は滞在時間の事を考えると施設内のフード売店で済ませたほうが良いでしょうね。

I went for the first time with my father, mother, and two younger brothers. I was impressed by the number of attractions. My parents relaxed together in an area just for adults, while my brothers and I had a blast on the slides. I realized that it's a park where both adults and children can enjoy themselves in their own ways. The wait times were short, and we played all day long.
父と母、それに弟二人で始めて行きました。アトラクションの多さに感激しました。父と母はふたりで大人だけでくつろげるエリアでゆっくりしていましたが、僕達兄弟はスライダー系でガンガン楽しみました。家族で行っても大人、子供それぞれの楽しみ方ができるパークなんだなと思いました。待ち時間も少なく、一日中遊びまくりました。

My first time in Hawaii! I did a lot of research and decided to go to the Hawaiian Water Adventure Park. I arranged just the entrance fee through Alan without transportation and took the "bus" as my means of getting there. It said it would take about 50 minutes, so I thought that was fine, but it actually took an hour and a half...
Plus, since it was my first time in Hawaii, I couldn't really appreciate the scenery, and the announcements were inconsistent. My anxiety kept growing.
So, in my opinion, you should definitely go with transportation included!!! It's a waste of time otherwise, and it's a lot easier for anyone to go.
The pool is amazing!! I don't go to pools much in Japan, so I'm not sure, but there are so many slides that you can only find in Hawaii!
It's super fun! I highly recommend it! I’ve decided that when I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go to the pool!
初めてのハワイ!いっぱい調べてこのハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャーパークに行こうと決めました^^
私は送迎なしの入場料だけアランで頼んで、現地の交通手段の「バス」で行きました。時間は50分くらいで着くと書いてあったので、まぁいいかと思い選んだのですが
実際かかったのは1時間半も・・・・。
しかも初ハワイってこともあり、景色みてもわかんないし、アナウンスも流れたり、流れなかったり。不安がどんどん膨らみました。
なので、私的には送迎ありで行くべき!!!時間ももったいないし、安心して誰でも行けます★
プールは最高です!!日本であまりプールに行かないのでわからないのですが、
ハワイでしかない?スライダーがいっぱいあります!!
めちゃくちゃ楽しいですよ^^
オススメです!またハワイへ行くときはプールに絶対行こうって決めてます♪

On October 5th, I participated with transportation provided but no meals included. It was sunny and hot, but the pool water was cold, and there was a breeze that made it feel a bit chilly. The shuttle bus on the way there was freezing due to the strong air conditioning, but on the way back, it was more comfortable, likely considering we were wet.
Since I attended with my two children, aged 5 and 2, our options for attractions were limited, but the wave pool was very fun, especially since we could borrow large floats. The water at Keiki Cove wasn't very clean. However, the kids had a great time. The dining area gets quite crowded around lunchtime, so I recommend going early. Also, you need to settle the payment before lining up, so if you unknowingly queue at the counter first, you'll have to start over.
Overall, I rate the experience highly, but since time is limited, I think it's better to have a light meal quickly and spend more time enjoying the attractions.
10月5日に、送迎あり、食事なしに参加しました。晴れていて暑かったのですが、プールの水は冷たく、風があったので肌寒かったです。行きの送迎バスはクーラーががんがんにきいていて寒すぎでしたが、帰りは水に濡れているのを考慮してくれてか弱冷でした。
子供5歳と2歳を連れての参加だったのでアトラクションは限られていましたが、波のプールは大きな浮き輪も借りられて大変おもしろかったです。ケイキコーブはあまり水がきれいではなかったです。が、子供たちは十分に楽しめました。食事は昼時は結構混みあうので早めに行った方がいいかと思われました。それと先にお会計を済ませてから並ばないといけないので知らずにそのまま窓口に並ぶとまた1から並びなおしです・・・。
総じて評価は高いのですが、時間が限られているので食事は早めに軽めにすませて時間たっぷり遊んだ方がいいかと思います。

My husband and I participated together. Since there was no shuttle service, we used the local bus. We set off early in the morning with determination, and it was easy since there was only one transfer, but it took quite a while from downtown Honolulu.
We arrived much earlier than the opening time and waited anxiously, unsure of where to show our voucher. (We skimped on the shuttle cost, but it turned out to be a good experience since we could talk with locals.)
The water park had many thrilling attractions that you can't find in Japan, and it was very exciting and enjoyable. We rode the same ride (Volcano) multiple times. I didn't have the courage to ride the U-shaped attraction, but next time I definitely want to try it and conquer all the attractions!
It might be a good idea to adjust your lunch time since it gets really crowded.
主人と二人で参加しました。送迎なしだったので、路線バスを利用しました。朝早くに気合を入れて出発し、バスは一回の乗り継ぎのみだったので簡単でしたが、ホノルル市街からは結構遠く時間がかかりました。
オープン時間よりもかなり早く着いてしまい、どこでバウチャーを見せるのか不安になりながら待っていました。(送迎代をケチったので・・でも地元の人と話しもできたので良い経験になったかな)
ウォーターパークは日本にはない過激なものが多くとても刺激的で楽しめました。何度も同じ(ボルケーノ)にライドしました。Uの字アトラクションは勇気がなく乗りませんでしたが、次回は必ず乗り、全てのアトラクションを制覇したいと思います!
昼食時はすごく混雑するので時間をずらして取るといいかも・・・

I had some anxiety about my first trip to Hawaii, but the pickup time was as scheduled, and we were able to enter smoothly. We had a total of 13 participants: 6 adults, 4 elementary school students, and 3 preschoolers. The kids were thrilled with the exciting attractions! There was also a pool suitable for toddlers, so both adults and children lost track of time and played without even having lunch.
However, some attractions had specific closing times, and since we didn't know the opening hours, I wish this information had been provided in advance, which was a bit disappointing. I would love to participate again.
P.S. The free admission for children was very helpful. Thank you!

I definitely want to book my next optional tour with Alan.

We participated as a family of three. My child had been looking forward to this since we saw the website while in Japan. On the bus to the park, we received a brochure, and we were already excited about what to do first. When we arrived at the park, I, as a parent, also felt thrilled, thinking, "This is something we don't have in Japan!" Each attraction was so much fun for everyone, from toddlers to older kids. Among them, the wave pool provided a truly ocean-like experience. My favorite was the "Volcano," which I tried multiple times. Climbing up the slope to the starting point was tough, but the thrill of going down was amazing!
Since local kids had already started school, the park was quite empty. We had a 2:45 PM meeting time for our return, and I thought that was early, but considering the number of attractions, my child's level of fatigue, and our arrival time at the hotel in the evening, it turned out to be just right. In the end, my child gave the classic request: "Take me again!!"
家族3人で参加しました。 子供は日本に居る時からHPを見て楽しみにしていました。当日、行きのバスでパークのパンフレットをもらうと、何からまわるか既に興奮状態でした。 パークに到着すると親の自分も「これは日本には無い!」とワクワクしてきました。幼児から大きなお子様まで1つ1つがとても楽しかったです。中でも波のプールは本当に海のような体験が出来ました。一番お気に入りは「ボルケーノ」何回もチャレンジしました。出発点まで坂を上っていくのは大変でしたが、下っていく快感は最高でした!
地元の子供達は学校が始まっているので、とても空いていました。
帰りは2:45の集合で、早いな…と思っていましたが、実際はアトラクションの数と子供の疲れ具合、そしてホテルに夕方に到着を考慮すれば、丁度よい頃合だったと思います。
最後に子供からお決まりの「また連れて行って!!」でした。

I was worried about the pickup, but it arrived on time, and we got there before the park opened. Since outside food and drinks are not allowed, there was a simple bag check. I had brought rice balls and tea (and a mini bottle of wine) for my one-year-old son, but they only peeked into the bag and touched the bottom to check, so I wasn't caught. The free drinks were only sodas, which wasn't great for small children. My nine-year-old brother was thrilled with the slides and the wave pool. He insisted that we come back next year!
心配していた迎えも時間どうりで、開園前には到着しました。飲み物や食べ物が持ち込みNGなので簡単な持ち物チェックがありました。私は一歳の息子がいたのでおにぎりとお茶(ワインのミニボトルも)をもって行ってましたが・・袋を覘いて下のほうを触って確かめるだけなのでバレませんでした。フリードリンクはソーダ類だけなので小さい子にはちょっと・・・でした。スライダーも波のプールも9歳のお兄ちゃんは大喜びでした。また来年連れてって~とせがまれました。

I had a great time. There were lots of pools and slides to enjoy. Of course, since I had a 3-year-old with me, we couldn't go on the intense slides, but the slides in the children's pool were quite enjoyable for little ones.
Considering the time needed for changing and lunch (which can take about an hour with kids), the actual playtime was around 3 hours, which felt a bit short. However, given the intense Hawaiian sun, I think this duration was just about right.
The cost was also cheaper than booking through major options, and in the end, we took the same shuttle bus as the larger groups, so when you factor in transportation costs plus admission fees, I think it was a good deal.
楽しかったですよー。
たくさんのプールやスライダーなどがあって楽しめました。もちろん、3歳の子連れなので強烈なスライダーなどはだめですが、子供用のプールのスライダーなどは、結構小さい子でも喜んでやっていました。
開園時間と帰りの集合時間にあわせて着替えなどの時間や昼時なのでご飯の時間(子供がいると結構1時間くらいかかっちゃう)も考えると実質遊べる時間が3時間くらいで、ちょっと物足りない感じもありましたが、ハワイの強烈な日差しも考えると、これくらいで十分なのかなと思います。
料金も大手のオプションで申し込むより安く、結局大手の人と同じ送り迎えのバスで、差もなく交通費+入園料考えるといい設定だったと思います。

I was honestly hesitant at first about going to the pool, especially since we went all the way to Hawaii, but we had a great time. My first-grade son was thrilled and said he definitely wants to go again. The power of the wave pool is incredible. I thought it was just an ordinary pool with a lot of floaties until the waves started. Among the many slides, the one where you go down headfirst, as shown in the photo, was my son's absolute favorite. You don't really find that in Japan. I think families with children will definitely enjoy it. As many have mentioned, the short duration is a downside. We were a bit rushed because we lost track of time waiting for the waves to start... I recommend it for families who love pools and slides.
せっかくハワイに行ってまでプールに・・と正直最初は迷っていましたが、とても楽しめました。小学1年の息子も大喜びで、是非また行きたいと言っております。波のプールの迫力は半端じゃないですね。波が来るまでは、浮き輪がいっぱいあるだけのただのプールかと思ってました。数あるすべり台の中では写真に出ている頭から降りていくのが、息子一番のお気に入りでした。なかなか日本にはないですから。子供連れの家族であるなら確実に楽しめると思います。皆さん書いていますが時間が短いののが欠点でしょうか。我が家も波が出てくるのを待っていたら帰りの集合時間を過ぎていて少し焦りました・・・。プールがそしてすべり台が好きなファミリーの方にはお薦めします。

I participated with my wife and our two children, a sixth grader and a middle schooler. This was our second time joining! The pickup staff were young Japanese girls, making it easy for us to board the bus from the morning. You might wonder, "A pool in Hawaii?" but it has an American-style dynamic wave pool. There are so many diverse slides that you might think, "Are we really going to drop down this?" The facilities are impressive enough to make you think, "If this park were built in Japan, it would be extremely popular."
Of course, both the kids and my active wife were very satisfied! This time, I decided not to go with the lunch set based on other people's reviews, but even so, there were free drinks and the light snacks weren't too expensive, making it quite reasonable overall.
If I had to offer a critique, as others have mentioned somewhere, it's the limited time: arriving around 10:30 and gathering again in the late afternoon at 2:00... and the price for that? Even considering that, we benefited from the service where kids were free, so it goes without saying that it was a "good day." "Alan! Good job!!"
小学生と中学生の子どもと妻…4人で参加しました。これで2回目の参加となりました!ピックアップのスタッフの方も若い日本人ギャルでして…朝からわかりやすくバスに乗り込むことができました。「ハワイに来てプール?」って声も聞かれそうですが、アメリカっぽい?ダイナミックな波の出るプール。ここを落ちるの!?ってくらいの多種多彩なスライダー。その他、「このパークが日本にできたら大人気だろうなぁ」って思わすほどの施設です。
もちろん子どもたちもアクティブな妻も大満足!今回は他の方の書き込みを参考にして、昼食セットでないものにしましたが…それでもフリードリンクですし、軽食もさほどの値段でもないし、十分リーズナブルですみますね。
あえて苦言を呈するなら、コレも他の方がどこかで書かれていましたが、「10時半くらいについて、2時後半に集合…」という時間の少なさとそのわりに値段が???ってところでしょうか。それを割り引いたにしても、今回は子どもが無料になるサービスにも助けられ、「グッドな1日」であったことは言うまでもありません。『アランさん!グッドジョブ!!』

I participated for the first time with my wife and our 8-year-old and 4-year-old children. My 8-year-old daughter was thrilled with the exciting slide. My 4-year-old son also had a blast in the wave pool. The pool experience was a lot of fun.
初めて妻と8歳と4歳の子供参加いたしました。
スリルある滑り台に8歳の娘は大喜びでした。
4歳の息子も、波のプールにおおはしゃぎでした。
プールの内容はとても楽しかったです。

At first, I thought a pool in Hawaii would be boring, but once I participated, it was really fun. My younger child is four years old, so they couldn't go on the attractions, but they seemed to really enjoy the wave pool, which was their favorite. My older child is not a fan of thrilling rides, so we went on the slide together multiple times. However, the weather was very nice, and I neglected to take sunburn precautions, which turned out to be a big mistake. I later heard that there are not many shaded areas, so many people end up getting sunburned. It might be just right to use sunscreen for a good tan. I also tried renting a towel, but it was just a poor-quality sports towel size for $10, and I was told I would get $5 back upon return. However, when I returned it to a different staff member, I was told there was no refund! I felt like I lost out. It's definitely better to bring your own towel.
最初はハワイでプール?と思っていましたが、実際に参加してみるととても面白かったです。下の子供は4歳なのでアトラクションは乗れなかったのですが、波のプールは一番のお気に入りだったようでとても楽しんでいました。上の子供はハラハラスリル系が苦手なので一緒に何度もスライダーに乗っていました。ただ天気が非常に良かったので、日焼け対策を怠ったため大変なことになってしまいました。後から聞いた話では、日陰が少ないので日焼けし過ぎる人が多いそうです。日焼け止めでコーティングする程度がちょうど良い日焼けになるかも知れません。また試しにレンタルタオルを借りたのですがお粗末なスポーツタオルサイズで$10もして、返却時に$5バックと借りた時に言われたのですが、別のスタッフに返却したら返金なし!と言われ損した気分でした。タオルは必ず持参したほうが良いですよ。

I visited Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park for the first time. I went with a group of 4 adults and 5 children (2 in 1st grade, 2 in 3rd grade, and 1 in 4th grade).
The kids, of course, and the adults had a great time as well.
The atmosphere felt like we were all challenging ourselves at an amusement park with thrilling rides.
There were some slides that were a bit tough for the 1st graders, but the 3rd and 4th graders were able to try almost everything (though I did push them a bit). For the 1st graders, there was a fun pool for kids, and they happily played there.
One thing I noticed, as mentioned in other reviews, was that the time felt a bit short. Fun times seem to fly by, and it might just feel shorter because of that.
In our case, we gathered at 8:30, took a bus that stopped at other hotels, and arrived at the park around 10:00. After receiving an explanation, we entered around 10:30. Lunch was at 12:00, so the maximum time we could play in the morning was about an hour and a half. In the afternoon, we had to gather at 2:45, so even with a 30-minute lunch, we only had about 2 hours to play in the afternoon. I wished we could have played for at least another hour!
But overall, it was a lot of fun, and I would love to go again. I hope this was helpful!
初めてハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークに行ってきました。
グループで参加しました。大人4人子供5人(小学1年2名・3年2名・4年1名)
子供たちはもちろん、大人達もかなり楽しめました。
雰囲気としては、絶叫系の遊園地にみんなでチャレンジしに行くような感じです。
小学校1年生には厳しい滑り台もありますが、3年4年のみんなは殆どチャレンジできました。(半分私の強制もありましたが、)
小学1年には、KID'S用の楽しいプールがあったので、喜んで遊んでました。
気になったのは、他の書き込みにもあるように時間が少し短い?と感じました。
楽しい時間はすぐに時間が経ち、短く感じるのかも?知れませんが、
私達の場合
8時半に集合でバスに乗って他のホテルを回って、パークに移動
パークに10時くらいに到着し、説明をうけて10時半頃に入場
12時から昼食なので、午前中に遊べる時間はMAX1時間半
午後は2時45分に集合だったので、昼食が30分としても、午後に2時間程度しか
遊べませんでした。
せめて後一時間くらいは遊びたかったかな!と思いました。
でもトータルで考えると、すごく楽しかったので、また行きたいです。
参考になったでしょうか?

We participated with our 9-year-old and 12-year-old sons and my wife. Our two sons really enjoyed the wave pool. However, the use of bodyboards was alternating, and the time for each wave was short (about 5 minutes?), which seemed to leave them a bit frustrated. Additionally, I recommend the Cliffhanger for those who love thrill rides. I ended up spreading my legs out of fear and rubbed the soles of my feet against the side of the slide, resulting in friction burns. Be careful!
9歳と12歳、妻の4人で参加しました。
2人の息子は波の出るプールがえらく、気に入っていました。
ただし、ボディーボートの練習と交互の利用となります。
また、1回あたりの波が出る時間も短く(5分くらい?)、ちょっと欲求不満のようでした。
その他、クリフハンガーは絶叫マシンが好きな方にはお薦めです。
私はついつい、恐怖で足が広がり、滑り台の側面に足の裏をこすり、摩擦やけどをしてしまいました。注意方。

This was my third time participating, and it was a lot of fun. My 6-year-old and 3-year-old also enjoyed it very much. There is a pool that even younger children can enjoy, so I think families can have a great time.
3度目の参加でしたが、とても楽しかったです。6歳と3歳の子供もとても楽しんでいました。3歳より小さい子でも十分楽しめるプールがあるので、ファミリーで楽しめると思います。
