Oahu
One ride was not open. The lady that greeted us was awesome and our concierge…gave her a 20 tip …we stayed primarily in the wave pool. Wasn’t really clean but clean enough to get in. Food was okay and the rides were very short.. lots of walking up steps to get to them. You had to carry the tubes up the steps which were very heavy cause I guess we’re weaklings . A residence…young teen carried it up like a champ. Was fun nonetheless but spent so much on that waterpark as much as universals studios almost but no where close to as many rides at all!
Aloha Fleecyfrese,
Thank you for your valuable comments.
Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again
Mahalo
Enjoying the wave pool!
- After arriving by bus
It was a bit unsettling to find no one there, but when we went near the entrance, a Japanese staff member was there to assist us. They helped us enter and even guided us to where we could rent lockers.
- Wave pool
My child (11 years old) seemed to have the most fun here. There are also floaties available. There are thrilling rides, but my child ended up crying, so please be cautious. It might be a little scary for kids at first, but once they get used to it, it's no problem! Some of the thrill rides require you to take off your glasses, so those who wear glasses should be careful. I put mine in my pocket.
- Lunch
We added lunch to the tour, but I thought it was a bit insufficient. It might be better to plan on purchasing your own food.
波のプールでエンジョイ!
・バスで到着後
誰もいなくて、ちょっと不安になりますが、入り口付近に行くと、日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃり、一緒に入場してくださり、ロッカーを借りるところまで、お世話をしていただけました。
・波のプール
子ども(11歳)は、ここが一番楽しかったようです。浮き輪も置いてあります。
絶叫系のものありあすが、子どもは泣いてしまったので、注意して下さい。
子どもには、最初ちょっと怖いかも。慣れてしまえば問題ないです!
絶叫系はメガネは外さないとだめなのもあるので、メガネの人は注意して
下さい。私はポケットにいれました。
・お昼
ツアーにお昼を付けましたが、ちょっと足りないかと思います。自分で購入できるので、そのつもりの方が良いかと思います。
This was the best luau! I would highly recommend this experience! The family and I really enjoyed this celebration and would definitely come back next time we are on island!
After the bus arrived, there was an explanation by a Japanese person before entry, which was very good. I was also satisfied with the pool itself. The all-you-can-drink option was great as well.
バス到着後、入場までの間に日本人による説明があり、非常によかったです。プール自体も満足しました。飲み放題もよかったです
It was disappointing that the first bus was not on time, but other than that, I was satisfied. I had a great time and enjoyed it thoroughly.
始めのバスが時間通りでなかったことが残念ですが、それ以外は、満足です楽しかったです、十分に楽しめました
The entire experience was exceptional. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Would definitely go see it again. A job very well done.
It was a plan that included transportation to the site, and upon arrival, there was a guide who spoke Japanese, who explained how to enter and how to have lunch. All the other park staff communicated only in English, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. Thank you very much.
現地までの送迎付きプランでしたが、到着すると日本語が話せるガイドさんがおられ、入場の方法やお昼の取り方など説明いただきました。その他のパークのスタッフのかたはすべて英語のみのコミュニケーションでしたので、不安なく楽しめました。ありがとうございました。
I was surprised to see the bus driver, who departed from the hotel, using a mobile phone while driving on the highway. I was a bit anxious and fastened my seatbelt, praying that no accident would occur. Since the driver is a local, I hope they will implement measures such as having another tour guide accompany him.
ホテルから出発したバスの運転手が高速道路で携帯を操作しながら運転していたのにはビックリしました。ちょっとさすがに焦ってシートベルトを締めて
事故が起こらないことを祈りました。運転手は現地の人なのでもう一人添乗員を置くなど対策してもらいたいです。
What an awesome show, it hits everything you want to see, fire dance, pig roast, games and hawaiian activities!
The show was very good, particularly the chief. He is a talented entertainer who interacted very well with his audience. The dancers were also very talented.
The buffet dinner was okay, nothing special.
As a Japanese person, I had an experience where I was misgiven change by a part-time girl when I purchased lunch with an all-you-can-drink soft drink option. When I noticed it on the spot and asked for it back, she hesitated for a while, and a couple of her friends were smirking, pretending it was all a joke! In the end, I did get my change back. Everyone should be careful!
日本人だからか、ソフトドリンク飲み放題付きで、別で昼食を購入した際にアルバイトの女の子にお釣りを誤魔化され,その場で気づいて返してって言うと,なかなか返さず、2.3人の子と苦笑いしバレちゃったね!ってとぼけて最終返してもらいました!皆さん気をつけた方がいいです、
Perfect Parking , Perfect Seats , Perfect Food , Perfect Entertainment !!!
The luau was full of jokes and lots of laughing. Best medicine!!
We visited this time as a couple. Perhaps due to staff shortages, some items were available at certain times while others were not, but we were able to try all the sliders. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a longer stay.
夫婦2人で今回はお邪魔しました。人員不足の為か、時間によって開いてるものと開いていないものがありましたが、全スライダーは制覇出来ました。欲を言えばもう少し滞在時間が長ければ良いなぁと思いました。
It was a good decision to have an all-you-can-drink option since water costs the same as juice. There was a Japanese guide who helped us with reserving seats and recommended good spots, which was very helpful. The attractions included options for babies and children as well as thrilling ones. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication.
水でもジュースと同じ料金がかかるので飲み放題があって正解でした。
日本人の案内の方がいて、いすの場所取りおおすすめ場所など教えていただき、たすかりました。アトラクションは、赤ちゃん、子供向けとスリリングなものとありました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めしたほうがいいかもです
I was excited to see the attractions in the pictures, but only three were operational. It was my mistake to rent two with roofs, and there was no advice regarding that. I opted for the lunch package, but even with the transportation included, 93,112 yen for that is too expensive.
アトラクションは画像で見るとワクワク期待したのですが
3つしか稼働してなく、こちらのミスですが屋根付きのを二つも
レンタルしていて それに対するアドバイス等は何もなく
昼食付にしましたが 送迎込みでも あれで93,112円は
高すぎる
We participated as a family of four (ages 3 and 8)♪ We took a shuttle bus from the meeting point. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member was waiting at the entrance and kindly guided us to the free chairs in the kids' area, saying, "Everyone, please follow me!" It was very nice of them. There were relatively few guests, and there were plenty of shaded areas to rest. The free drinks were also great. However, there were no tea or water options, only juice, so I got a bit thirsty, haha. At the food court, card payments required showing a copy of the passport, so I was prepared, but with Apple Pay, there was no need for the passport copy; I could just tap the machine to make the payment. The official website has information about events, etc.^_^ Since the kids love Disney movies, we chose to go on Movie Day, when we could watch on a big screen while swimming. It was so much fun that we wished we could stay a few more hours^_^ Thank you very much!♪
家族4人(3歳&8歳)で参加しました♪ 集合場所からシャトルバスで向かいました。現地到着すると入り口で日本人のスタッフさんが待っていてくれ、『皆さん着いてきてください〜!』とキッズエリア前の無料のチェアまで一緒に案内してくださったり、とても親切でした。比較的お客さんも少なく、日陰も多く休めるところがたくさんありました。またフリードリンクも良かったです。ただ、お茶系やお水はなく、ジュースしか選択肢がないので喉が乾きました笑 フードコートでカード支払いはパスポートコピー提示とあり準備して行きましたが、ApplePayはパスポートコピー提示はなく、機械にかざすだけで決済できました。事前に公式HPで、イベントなど記載してあります^_^子どもたちはディズニー映画が大好きなので、泳ぎながら大スクリーンで見れるMovieDayの日にしました。楽しくてあと数時間いたいくらいでした^_^ありがとうございました♪
Since I visited in early November, there were few users and almost no waiting time. There were some attractions that were closed from the start (like the lazy river) and activities that closed early. There were slides that you can't experience in Japan, and both my kids and I had a great time.
11月上旬に行ったので利用者が少なく待ち時間がほとんどなかったです。最初からクローズになっているもの(流れるプール)やクローズになる時間が早いアクティビティもありました。日本では体験できないようなスライダーがあって子供達も私も楽しむことができました。
It was an enjoyable leisure pool that was quite family-friendly! While there wasn't anything particularly amazing, there were various slides, and I think spending about 2 to 3 hours there is just right!
Parking was around $20, and the lockers inside the park were about $10.
The slide boats are free, but they are reused, so be sure to grab one from someone at the slide exit.
子供連れが多い普通に楽しいレジャープールでした!特別すごい何かってわけではないけど色んなスライダーとかあって、コンテンツとしては2、3時間行くぐらいがちょうど良いかと!
駐車場は20ドル、園内のロッカーは10ドルぐらいだったかと!
スライダーのボートは無料ですが使い回しなので、スライダー降り口で誰かのもらいましょう。
I went with my two elementary school children and family. The Japanese staff at the reception were very polite and helped us enter smoothly. The locker fee seemed a bit high, but we used it for peace of mind. There were many slides, and seeing my children happily sliding down multiple times made me feel that it was worth coming.
小学生の子供2人と家族で行きました。
受付に日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に対応してくれてスムースに入れました。
荷物ロッカー代が高い印象でしたが、安心のために利用しました。
スライダーが沢山あり、こどもが楽しそうに何度も滑っている姿を見て、来てよかったと感じました。
It was disappointing that some attractions were under maintenance and we couldn't experience them, but we had a really fun time. My grandchildren were also very happy. Some people might wonder why you would go to Hawaii just for a pool, but there aren't many pools like this in Japan, so I was very satisfied.
Also, since it was a plan with transportation included, I wasn't sure when to give the tip. I was hoping to meet the guide on the way back, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see her. I ended up giving the tip to the taxi driver, but I'm not sure what happens to that tip. We also went to the Heaven's Beach Sandbar this time, and since we received guidance on tipping there, I thought it would be the same this time, so it felt a bit off.
メンテナンス中のものがあり出来なかったのは残念でしたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすしました。孫達も大喜びでした。ハワイに来てプール?という人もいるかもしれないですが、日本にはなかなかこんなプールないので大変満足しました。
それから、送迎付きでのプランだったのですが、チップを渡すタイミングが分からなくて帰りガイドのお姉さんに会えると思って待っていましたが会えなくて残念でした。タクシーの方に渡しましたが、このチップはどうなるのか分からない部分です。今回も天国の海サンドバーにも行きましたがチップの案内をして貰えたので、また言って貰えるものだと思っていましたのでしっくりいかなかったです。
It was a relatively large water park that you can't experience in Japan. Since it was a weekday in mid-October, there were fewer visitors compared to peak times, and we could enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time reliving my childhood with thrilling drop slides that felt like zero gravity and wave pools. Due to the season, about a quarter of the attractions were closed, but we still had fun! The bodyboarding was the most enjoyable, so I recommend the bodyboard package.
There is a bag check at the entrance. I believe I was informed that one unopened plastic bottle is allowed (though I think locals brought water bottles, but I don't remember the details). Inflatable rings are not allowed, but there are plenty available inside the park, so there's no need to worry. The coin laundry costs $13 (small) and $18 (medium), and we chose the medium for two people. While card payments are accepted, many people experienced errors, so it might be safer to have cash on hand. You can access the lockers as many times as you want throughout the day. There are showers and changing rooms near the lockers, but the water is not hot, so it can be a bit chilly.
There were about five food and drink sales points, but on that day, there was only one staff member serving, which caused a line during lunchtime. Since I was wearing a tour wristband, I wasn't asked to show a copy of my passport when paying by credit card.
The park is located near the highway, so you can't access it without a car. If you're not on a bus tour, you would need to take a public bus and then use Uber (about a 5-minute ride) to get to the park, or rent a car. Unlike public buses, a tour bus allows you to sleep comfortably on the way back, so I recommend the bus tour. Additionally, the Japanese female tour guide was very kind, making it a reassuring experience. She even took some photos for us.
日本では経験できない比較的大規模なウォーターパークでした。10月中旬の平日であったせいか、ピーク時と比べると利用者は少めであり、どのアトラクションも殆ど並ぶことなく利用できました。無重力空間を体験できるような急降下スライダーや波のプールなど、童心に帰り楽しむことができました。時期的なこともあり1/4くらいは休止中でしたが、それでも楽しめました!ボディボードが一番楽しかったので、ボディーボード付きプランをおすすめします。
エントランスで荷物チェックがあります。未開封のペットボトル1本は持ち込み可能と説明を受けた気がします(地元の人は水筒を持参していたような気がしますが、詳しく覚えていません)。浮き輪などは持ち込み不可です。園内にうきわはたくさんありますので、心配ありません。コインランドリーは13ドル(小)、18ドル(中)があり、二人で(中)を選択しました。カード対応ですがエラーになっている方も多かったので、現金をもっていた方が安心かもしれません。出し入れは終日何度でも可能です。ロッカーの近くにシャワーと更衣室があります。お湯は出ないので、少し肌寒いです。
フードやドリンクの販売窓口は5個くらいあったのですが、当日はスタッフが1名で対応しており、昼食時は列ができていました。ツアーのリストバンドを付けていたせいか、クレジット決済時にパスポートのコピーの提示は求められませんでした。
本パークは高速道路の近くに位置しているので、車以外では入れません。バスツアー以外ですと、パーク近隣まで公共バス+歩行禁止区域を5ウーバーで移動(5分程度)またはレンタカーを使用することになると思います。公共バスと違い、ツアーバスであれば帰路で熟睡できるメリットもありますので、バスツアーがお勧めです。また、日本人女性の添乗員さんがとても親切で、安心して過ごすことができました。お写真も撮ってくださいました。
This was my third visit. Some attractions were closed, which was disappointing, but I was able to ride Tornado and Shaka three times each. The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time. I especially appreciated the thoughtful care from the Japanese woman at the reception, who embodied the spirit of hospitality. I definitely want to go again next year!
今回3回目でした。アトラクションはいくつか閉鎖中で、残念でしたが、トルネードとシャカを3回ずつ出来ました。スタッフはみんな陽気でフレンドリーて、とても楽しい時間でした。特に受付係の日本人女性の方が、おもてなし精神で細やかな配慮をして頂きありがたかったですヨ^_^
来年も是非行きたいと思います♪
The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.
I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit to Wet 'n' Wild. It was fun, but there were several points of concern.
First, if you don't have a rental car, it's definitely better to use the shuttle bus. Trying to rely on public transportation or walking is not advisable. By the way, if you're taking the shuttle bus, make sure to wait at the entrance by 2:40 PM for your return. While I can't say for everyone, at least one person from your group should be there. This is because the return bus has a loose check-in process. Although this didn't happen to us, someone boarded the return bus, and the driver mistakenly thought everyone was gathered, leading to an early departure. As a result, a family that arrived right on time was left stranded and had to pay a lot for a taxi to Waikiki, despite having already paid for the shuttle bus. They might have booked through a different travel company (like JTB), but it seems the operation is managed by Wet 'n' Wild. I think this aspect should be checked more thoroughly.
Aside from that, similar to other reviews, the lazy river was not operating, so those who can't ride the drop attractions have limited options. Many attractions were not running due to a lack of staff, as they were multitasking. The bodyboard attendants, who should have been providing free bodyboard tickets, told us we couldn't use them because we didn't have a band, which took time to resolve.
The facility itself is enjoyable, but due to the reasons mentioned above and the short operating hours, I think the cost-effectiveness is poor, and it might be enough to visit just once.
ハワイには何度か来たことはありましたが、今回初めてウェットアンドワイルドに来ました。楽しかったは楽しかったのですが、色々と気になる点が。
まず、レンタカーなど車が無い人は必ずシャトルバスを使った方が良いことです。公共交通機関とあわよくば歩いて行こうとするのは辞めた方が良いでしょう。ちなみに、シャトルバスの場合、帰る時は2時40分には入り口で待ってましょう。全員とは言いませんがグループなら誰か一人でも。それは帰りのバスはチェックが緩いからです。これは私達ではありませんが、誰かが帰りのバスに乗ってしまい、運転手は集まったと勘違いして予定より早く出発したせいで、集合時間きっかりに来た家族が路頭に迷い、やむなくタクシーで大金払ってワイキキまで行ったそうです。シャトルバスの金額を払ったにもかかわらずです。申し込んだのはベルトラではなく違う旅行会社(JTBとか)かも知れませんが、運営してるのはウェットアンドワイルド側と思います。この点はもう少しきちんとチェックされた方が良いように思います。
それ以外は他のクチコミと同じく、
流れるプールがやって無いので落ちる系のものが乗れない人は遊ぶのが限られる、
やっているアトラクションも従業員が少なく掛け持ちしてるためやっていないことが多い
ボディーボードの係員はボディーボードのフリーチケットのはずなのに「バンドが無いからダメ」と言われてやれるまで時間がかかる、
といったことがあります。
施設自体は楽しいのですが、上記の理由と営業時間の短さから、コスパは悪く、一度行けば良いかなと思います。
I thought, "A pool theme park in Hawaii?" but this time my child was tall enough to enjoy the slides, so we went. I'm glad we did!
I wonder if there are this many fun slides in Japan? Even if there are, I think they would be crowded and you wouldn't be able to enjoy many of them. However, since it was a weekday, we hardly had to wait and we went on the slides about 20 times between 10:30 AM and 3 PM. It seems that unlike Japan, where people gather in the summer, it’s less crowded here.
We signed up for a plan without transportation, but since we were staying in Ko Olina, it took less than 15 minutes by taxi. It was easy to access.
ハワイにきてまでプールのテーマパーク?とは思いましたが今回は子供がスタイだーも楽しめる背丈になったので行ってきました。行ってよかったですw
こんなに楽しいスライダーは日本にあるのかな?あったとしても混んでて並ぶのでたくさんはできないと思います。でもこちらは平日だったからかほとんど待つことなく、10:30から3時までの営業時間の間に20回ぐらいスライダーをやりました。
やはり夏に人が集中する日本とは違い混雑しにくいのかな?
送迎なしプランで申込でしたがコオリナ宿泊だったのでタクシーで15分弱ぐらい。簡単にアクセスできました。
There were many slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, and I had a lot of fun. It's a bit disappointing that the opening hours were a little short. There were also pools and slides that weren't open, so I would like to visit again.
なかなか日本では体験できないようなスライダーがたくさんあってとても楽しめました。開園時間が少し短いのが残念でした。
やってなかったプールやスライダーもあったので、また行ってみたいと思います。
Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit
Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)
