The price is definitely not cheap, but it was a very impressive hula show! I reserved the best seats, so I was able to get priority guidance during entry and when going to get buffet food, which was great. There were also interactive moments where guests from the audience were invited onto the stage, and I had a lot of fun! The guidance is all in English, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand everything. The variety of buffet dishes is limited, but there were some traditional Hawaiian dishes that were surprisingly delicious! The drinks depend on the seat price, but we had two drinks included, and there were exchange tickets and a Japanese menu, which made it easy to understand.

If there's a little rain, the show will still go on, so I recommend checking the weather forecast. If it looks like rain, bring a raincoat or umbrella! Since it's outdoors, there’s no roof. When we arrived at the Hilton, there were many buildings, and I got lost not knowing which one was which, so I asked a staff member. We took the JCB pink trolley from Waikiki, and we could get off right in front on the way there, but on the way back, it didn’t stop anywhere near, and we ended up walking around and getting soaked in the rain, which was tough. On the way back, you can either walk about 10 minutes to the bus stop at Eggs 'n Things to catch the JCB pink trolley or take a $2.75 bus from a nearby stop. By the time the show ends, it gets dark around there, and recently the safety in Waikiki has been declining, so if you have a larger group, I recommend taking a taxi!

金額は決して安くないですが、とても迫力のあるフラショーでした♪私は１番良い席を予約したので、入場時やブッフェの料理を取りに行く際、優先的に案内してもらえて良かったです⭐︎ショーの中には客席からお客さんを舞台にあげ参加型の場面もあり、楽しめました♪案内は全て英語ですが、分からなくても楽しめると思います♪ブッフェ料理の種類は少ないですが、一部ハワイの伝統料理もあり、意外に美味しかったです！ドリンクは席の料金にもよりますが、私達は２杯ずつ付いていて、引き換え券もあり、日本語メニューもあり、分かりやすかったです⭐︎

多少の雨ならそのまま決行されるので、天気予報をチェックして、雨が降りそうなら、カッパか傘の持参をおススメします！野外なので、屋根がありません。行きはヒルトンに着いてから沢山の建物があり、どな建物か分からず迷い、係員に聞きました。ワイキキからJCBのピンクトロリー、行きは目の前で降りられましたが、帰りは目の前や近くも全然止まらず、歩き回って雨でビショ濡れになり大変でした。帰りはエッグスンシングスのバス停まで10分程歩いてJCBのピンクトロリーに乗るか、スグ近くのバス停から$2.75のバスに乗るか、終わる頃は周りが暗いし最近のワイキキは治安が悪くなってきてるので、人数が多いならタクシーをおススメします！

It was a high-energy and fun tour from start to finish. We were able to see many dolphins swimming, and although it was just a little, we also got to see sea turtles and whales! My mother, who is in her 70s, didn't push herself from the beginning and signaled for help right after jumping in, so the crew stayed with her, which made us feel reassured. The elementary school children also had a great time playing with the crew, jumping in and splashing around. Since it requires a lot of energy and starts early in the morning, I think it's better to sign up with some extra time to spare. I recommend that those who are anxious take motion sickness medication beforehand. A few years ago, I participated in a dolphin program as well, but the university program is a bit more challenging and has more content. I later went to the office to receive a souvenir bag. It was a wonderful memory to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii.

最初から最後までテンション高く楽しいツアーになりました。
イルカもたくさん泳いでいる様子が見れましたし、ウミガメもちょっとだけどクジラも見ることができました！
70代の母は最初から無理をせず、飛び込んだ直後にヘルプ合図したので、クルーの方がずっと付き添ってくれて安心しました。
小学生の子供たちもクルーの方たちと一緒に飛び込んだり氷かけしたりとたくさん遊んでもらって満足していました。
朝も早くかなり体力も使うので、余裕を持って申し込んだ方がいいと思います。不安な人は酔い止めを飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
数年前にイルカ中学にも参加しましたが、大学の方がちょっと難易度が上がり内容も充実しています。
後日オフィスに行って記念品のバックを受け取りました。
ハワイの大自然を満喫できてとてもいい思い出になりました。

I'm grateful that the captain tells us which direction to look for the whales. In fact, there were several whales in that direction, but we could only see their dorsal fins, which was disappointing.

A small boat was quite close to the whales, so even though it was a bit rocky, being in a smaller boat might allow you to feel the size and power of the whales more.

Breakfast was delicious, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what you get...

クジラがいると船長さんが何時の方向に見えますと言ってくれるのでありがたいです。
実際その方向にクジラが何頭かいましたが背鰭しか見えず残念でした｡。

小さなボートがかなりクジラに接近していたので、揺れがキツくても小さなボートの方がクジラの大きさや迫力は感じられるかもしれません。

朝食は美味しかったですが、お値段の割にはお高く感じました…

This was a great tour! Our driver/guide had lots of fun stories about history and culture of everything we saw. It was a good amount of time at each place.

The USS Missouri is great. Take the guided tour! Our guide had some great stories. I also enjoyed having time to explore on my own.

The USS Arizona Memorial and other memorials were very humbling. So grateful for the men and women who sacrificed their lives that day so I can enjoy the freedom I now have. It was quite humbling to stand over the tomb of those men in the USS Arizona. I also enjoyed the Walk of Honour. My only regret was not having enough time to explore the other things in and around that site.

This was a great starter tour to show me what I might like to do next time. The company from booking to resort pick-up and drop off to not having to navigate the traffic made it well worth the investment. I highly recommend this for everyone. I learned a lot!

I also greatly appreciated the poncho to use as we had rain off and on all day. Unexpected but awesome bonus!

This time it was rainy, so we couldn't see any whales. It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing we can do about it, but it's disappointing.

I'll try again next time.

今回は雨で、ホエールも観れませんでした。
自然なものなので仕方ありませんが、残念でした。

次回再チャレンジします。

I had a great time with the thrilling roller coaster-class attractions. However, it was disappointing and confusing that I couldn't buy a ticket for standing surfing without showing my passport, even though bodyboarding was okay. Who brings their passport to the pool?

ジェットコースタークラスのスリリングなアトラクションで、とても楽しめました。しかしボディーボードは、OK なのにスタンディングサーフィンするのにパスポートを提示しないとチケットが買えなかったので、残念だし意味がわからん。プールにパスポート持って行くやついるか？

I experienced a 150m flight.
There were two foreign couples on the same boat.
I was a bit worried since it was my first time, but the staff gave instructions in Japanese, like bending your legs and holding onto this, so I had no worries at all.
I put my belongings that I didn't want to get wet under the seat, and the three of us—my husband, my adult son, and I—flew together.
When we took off, it felt gentle and wasn't scary at all; in the air, we could slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The landing on the boat was also gentle, but the staff subtly controlled it, dipping us into the sea up to our bottoms and playing around with us, which was fun too.
Everyone on the boat was excited together.

Afterward, they showed us the photos, and I bought them for $30.
They gave them to us on an SD card, with 127 pictures of various angles, including ones with Diamond Head in the background, with the airplane, and with Jaws.
I highly recommend it! ♪

１５０ｍを体験しました
同じ船には外国のカップルが二組でした
初めてだし大丈夫か？と思いましたが
スタッフさんは脚を曲げてとか、ここを持ってとか日本語で指示してくれるので、まったく心配ありません
濡らしたくない荷物は椅子の下に入れて、夫と息子（成人）と私の三人一緒に飛ばしてくれました
飛び出すときもふわっという感じで怖くなく、空中ではゆっくりきれいな景色を堪能できました
船の上への着陸も、ふわっとできますが、スタッフが微妙にコントロールして、お尻まで海につけたり翻弄してくれ、それも楽しかったです
船上もみんなで盛り上がりました

終わってから写真を見せてくれて３０ドルで買いました
sdカードでくれて、いろいろな近さ、バックにダイアモンドヘッド、飛行機と一緒、ジョーズと一緒など、１２７枚もありました
とてもお勧めです♪

Each diver is assigned to you individually. At first, I was anxious, but once I tried it, it was very easy! When I shook the bait attached to the bike, a lot of fish came close. It was my first time touching fish up close like that.

I was also able to see two turtles! I was very satisfied with the ample snorkeling time during the free periods!

I went in February, and it was freezing cold when I got out of the water due to the wind! But once you're in the sea, it's fine! I recommend bringing a few larger towels.

ダイバーが1人ずつ付いてくれます。最初は不安でしたが、やってみるととても簡単！バイクについている餌をふると魚が沢山寄ってきます。魚をあんなに間近で触れたのは初めてでした。

亀も2匹見れることができました！空き時間にはたっぷりシュノーケリングができて大満足です！

2月に行ったのですが、海から上がったときは風で激寒でした！でも海に入ってしまえば大丈夫！大きめのタオルを何枚か持っていくことをお勧めします。

When we took the bus from the airport, my mother accidentally left one of our bags on a bench, but thanks to the staff who did a final check, we were able to get it back safely. It was a great help. Thank you very much.

I was also able to smoothly book a shuttle to the hotel at Ala Moana Center, so we arrived at the hotel at our desired time.

空港からバスに乗る際、母がベンチに手荷物の１つを置いてきてしまったのですが、係員の方が最後に見回りをしてくれていたおかげで無事に手元に戻ってきました。大変助かりました。ありがとうございました。

アラモアナセンターでホテルへのシャトルの予約もスムーズに出来たので、希望の時間にホテルに到着することが出来ました。

I decided to use the time before check-in at the hotel for shopping and made a reservation. The female staff member who assisted me at the reception was very pleasant. When I confirmed the hotel name, I asked if this plan included a stop at Ala Moana, and I was informed that it would go to Ala Moana. When I inquired about how to get from Ala Moana to the hotel, I was told that there is a shuttle bus that runs once an hour to the hotel, and I could use that. The bus had just left, so I waited for about 10 minutes, and the boarding location changed. After boarding the bus, I was taken directly to the hotel without stopping at Ala Moana. When I explained to the driver that this was supposed to be a plan that included a stop at Ala Moana, he pointed to a taxi at the hotel and said I could take that. Even after explaining the details of the tour, he insisted that he hadn't heard anything about that and wouldn't take it into consideration, which made the start of my honeymoon feel very disappointing. I thought that if I had taken a fixed-rate taxi from the airport to the hotel, it would have been cheaper and I wouldn't have had to deal with the stress of waiting. I'm really disappointed.

ホテルのチェックインまでの時間をショッピングに使おうと思い予約しました。受付時に対応してくれた女性スタッフは感じが良かったです。ホテル名を確認されたため、このプランは、アラモアナに立ち寄るコースで良いか確認すると、アラモアナまで行きますとの案内があり、アラモアナからホテルまでどうしたらよいかと質問すると、アラモアナから1時間に1本、ホテルまでシャトルバスがでているので、それを利用出来ると教えてくれました。ちょうどバスが出たばかりで、10分ほど待ち、乗り場が変わりました。その後、バスに乗り込みましたが、アラモアナに立ち寄ることなくホテルに連れて行かれました。ドライバーにアラモアナに立ち寄るプランであることを説明すると、ホテルにいたタクシーを指差して、これで行けるとのことでした。ツアーの内容を伝えても、そんな話は聞いてないとの一点張りで、取り合ってもらえず、新婚旅行の始まりが最悪な気分になりました。空港からホテルであれば、定額のタクシーもあったため、そちら利用した方が安いし、待ち時間もストレスもなかったなぁと思いました。本当に残念。

I was assisted by Japanese staff! (There were multiple Japanese staff members.) They explained everything in detail in Japanese, and I had no difficulties at all!

日本人の方が対応してくださった！(複数人日本人の方がいました)
詳しくもちろん日本語で教えてくださり、何一つ不自由はなかったです！

I had participated before and was very satisfied at that time. I thought I would attend every year from then on, but this time was disappointing. I will honestly share my feelings with hopes for improvement.

- There was a mistake on the part of the organizer at the time of application, which caused a long wait at the reception on the day of the event. Despite arriving early, I was overtaken by people who came later.

- Michael was not there. From the comments, it seems that Michael's absence is not just on the day I attended, but it might be quite frequent? There are fans who go specifically to see Michael, and while there may be unavoidable reasons like illness, I think they should have a backup plan in place. I also find it concerning that there was no apology for Michael's absence.

- After finishing my meal, I went to the venue (2nd floor) early, but I was directed to a seat at the edge and could not choose my own. The seating was determined randomly based on the order of entry, and I was not allowed to change my seat. The woman who guided the seating was also quite overbearing.

- Compared to my previous visit, I felt that the overall level of the show had clearly declined, which was the most disappointing part. It seems that almost all the cast members, except for Presley, had changed, and the previous cast was at a higher level. The female singer was definitely better last time.

- There was a person in the front row who stood up and danced or shouted during the performance, and there was no intervention to stop them. Eventually, that person even got on stage. This was clearly a nuisance to other guests, and proper action should have been taken.

- Last time, the course dinner was very delicious, but honestly, the buffet was not good. Considering the price difference, I think the course dinner is better.

What I felt this time is that there can be hits and misses depending on the day or season. I had hoped it would be a show that could be enjoyed no matter when you go, which is disappointing.

以前参加したことがあり、その時は大満足でした。
その時、これからは毎年参加しようと思ったのですが、今回は残念でした。
改善の希望も込めて正直に感じたことを書きます。

・申込時ベルトラ側にミスがあり、そのせいで当日受付にすごく時間がかか
　った。早めに行ったにも関わらず、後から来た人にどんどん抜かされた。

・マイケルがいなかった。
　コメントを見ると、私が参加した日だけでなくマイケル不在は
　結構あることかも？マイケルファンでマイケル目当てに行く人もいるのに
　病気など仕方ない理由もあるでしょうが、代役など体制を整えるべきと
　思う。マイケルがいないことへのお詫びなど一切ないこともどうかと思う。

・食事を終え早めに会場(2階)へ行ったが、端っこの席を案内された、
　自分で席を選べなかった。会場へ入った順番で勝手に席が決まる、運次第、
　席の変更はして貰えなかった。席案内の女性の対応も高圧的でした。

・前回参加した時に比べ、全体的に明らかにショーのレベルが下がったと
　感じた、これが一番残念でした。
　恐らく、プレスリー以外前回とほぼ全員レベルでキャストが変わっていま
　したが　前回の方がレベル高かったです。
　女性シンガーも前回の方が断然上でした。

・ステージ前席のお客の中に、公演中立ち上がって踊ったり声を上げている人
　がいたが阻止等対応していなかった、しまいにその人はステージにまで
　上がっていました。明らかに他の客に迷惑です、ちゃんと対応するべき。

・前回はコースディナーでとてもおいしかったですが、ブッフェは正直おいし
　くなかったです。
　金額差を考えても、コースディナーの方がいいと思います。

今回感じたのは、行く日や時期によって当たり外れがあるなということ。
いつ行っても楽しめるショーであってほしかったです、残念。

If you are using the shuttle bus, I recommend dashing to the ticket counter located to the left front after you exit the first building (the shop or café) you enter. When a large group arrives by bus, you can spend quite a bit of time waiting in line here.

You are not allowed to carry even a body bag while horseback riding, but there are quite large pockets on both sides of the horse, so you can fit a compact camera, smartphone, or a 100 yen raincoat. It's not too dirty, and you can access your items while riding.

Many reviews mentioned the smell of the helmets, so I brought a non-woven sheet to place inside the helmet. Well, it's just a comfort measure. There was also deodorizing spray available at the helmet storage area. I noticed while riding that the chin strap smelled worse than the helmet. Since it's made of fabric, there's not much you can do about it. Maybe just wipe it with wet wipes before use?

Additionally, I experienced a little trouble. I made the reservation about three days before leaving Japan. The voucher I received stated a 10:30 pickup and 11:15 horseback riding, which was impossible to make. The contact information on the Veltra site directed me to contact Kualoa Ranch directly. I reluctantly emailed Kualoa Ranch, but received no response, and left Japan without clarity. After arriving in Hawaii, I had the hotel concierge make a confirmation call. I’m not sure if they changed it based on my email or if there was just a mistake on the voucher, but I was relieved to find out that the horseback riding was at 12:15. The next day, I received an email from Veltra saying, "There has been a change to your voucher." It was a result of my own efforts, though (laughs). The following day (the night before the horseback riding), I received a call from Veltra in my room. I appreciated the sincerity of the call, but honestly, if inquiries are to be made between the parties involved, I think there’s no point in going through Veltra.

送迎バスを使う場合、バスを降りたら最初に入る建物（売店やカフェ）を突き抜けて外に出て左前方にあるチケットカウンターにダッシュすることをお勧めします。バスで大勢一度に到着するとここの順番待ちで結構時間を取られます。
乗馬するときにはボディバッグすら持たせてもらえませんが、馬の両サイドにかなり大きなポケットがあるので、コンパクトカメラやスマホ、100円レインコートくらいなら入れられます。そんなに汚くないです。乗馬中にも出し入れできる位置です。
ヘルメットの臭いのことを言われているレビューが多かったので、不織布シートを持っていってヘルメットの内側に当てて使いました。まぁ気休めです。ヘルメット置き場には消臭スプレーも置いてありました。乗馬中に気づいたのはヘルメットよりあごひもが臭うんだってこと。これは布製なので対処しようが無いかな。使う前にウェットティッシュで拭くくらい？
あと、私が体験したちょっとしたトラブル。日本を出る３日ほど前に予約を入れました。届いたバウチャーには10:30ピックアップで11:15乗馬となっており、間に合うわけがありません。ベルトラのサイトからの問い合わせ先はクアロア牧場に直にお問合せを、となっています。仕方なくクアロア牧場に問い合わせのメールをしましたが返事は無く、はっきりしないまま日本を出発。ハワイに到着してからホテルのコンシェルジュに確認の電話をしてもらいました。私からのメールで変更してくれたのか、単にバウチャーに誤記載されていたのかはわかりませんが、乗馬が12:15になっているとのことで安心しました。その翌日にベルトラから「バウチャーに変更ありました」のメールが来ました。自分で対処した結果なんですけど（笑）。そのまた翌日（乗馬に行く前夜）にベルトラの方から部屋に電話がありました。電話までくださったことには誠意を感じますが、（すごく細かい内容なわけでもない）問い合わせを当事者間でするなら正直ベルトラを通す意味が無いと思いました。

According to the reviews, it seemed that only about 30% of people were able to see them, so I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out to be true. After that, I received advice that if I wanted to see whales, Maui or the Big Island would be better, and I thought it was rare to see them off the coast of Waikiki Beach on Oahu.

口コミ情報では約3割程度の人しかが観ることができたようでしたので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、その通りになってしまいました。その後クジラを観るなら、マウイ島かハワイ島が良いとアドバイスを受け、オアフ島のワイキキビーチの沖合で観えること自体が稀ではないかと思いました。

Kualoa Ranch is beautiful and probably my favorite place on Oahu. There is so much to do there! This is a bus tour that offers an awesome experience driving through the heart of the ranch and listening to the guides commentary about the different movies that were filmed there. The bus makes multiple stops along the way so you can get out, walk around, and take pictures as you please. Overall good tour. The guide was very knowledgable and made it fun. Looking for something to do on Oahu, check out Kualoa!

This shark cage tour was awesome. Started off the morning with a nice north shore cruise to the cage drop spot. The crew is very laid back and give you all the information you need along the way. Very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all and any questions we had. Spent a good chunk of time in the cage and saw a few different sharks able to collect some pretty sweet GoPro footage. Even saw some whales along the way and you are able to hear them singing underwater which is pretty cool. The boat is spacious and comfortable and they provide bottled water. They also have a fresh water hose so you can rinse off when you are done in the cage. This tour was 100% safe and professionally ran. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a good time for a few hours on the island.

Everything is fine, but if you miscalculate the timing upon arrival, you may have to wait for about 20 minutes. It's unavoidable since it's a shared ride... Other than that, there are no issues at all!

全てOKでいいのですが、到着後タイミングを間違えれば
２０分ほど待たされます。相乗りだから仕方ないのですが・・・
そのほかは問題一切なしです！

We have a 5-year-old, so we couldn't go diving, which is why we had to take a submarine to see the underwater world. The boat that takes you to the submarine was cool, and my son, who loves vehicles, was very satisfied to see the moment the submarine surfaced and when the boat docked next to it! After that, we boarded the submarine and began our dive. The visibility wasn't as clear as advertised, but we saw four sea turtles around a sunken ship, which was amazing! The captain was kind enough to go back and forth a few times to help us see the turtles. For the Japanese commentary, you need to set the headphone channel to 1. I was a bit flustered at first because it was in Chinese. Also, as mentioned in reviews, it was cold, so a light windbreaker is necessary. The crew was very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

うちは５歳がいてダイビングなどできないので潜水艦に乗らないと海の中は見れませんでした。潜水艦まで行く船もかっこいいし、潜水艦が浮上する瞬間やボートが横付けする瞬間など見れて乗り物大好き息子は大満足！その後潜水艦に乗りいざ潜水開始。なかなか透明度は広告くらいありませんでしたが沈没船にホヌが4匹もいて最高でした！ホヌを見るためにキャプテンが何回か行き来してくれて優しかったです。日本語解説は、ヘッドホンのチャンネルを1に設定が必要です。最初中国語であせりました。また、寒いという口コミ通り寒かったので薄いシャカシャカなど必要です。クルーの対応も親切でした。素敵な体験ありがとうございました。

I parked at Pier 5.6 an hour ago, thinking there was a whale watching booth there, but it turned out that the Star of Honolulu was a five-minute walk from there, so I was cutting it close on time. The whale watching at Pier 5.6 is operated by a different company called Atlantis, so be careful about that. The parking fee is a maximum of $30, and I paid $27, so it wasn't much different. Once on board, we listened to the explanation and then went outside to look for whales, but in the end, we couldn't find any. The scenery was amazing.

1時間前からピア5.6の駐車場に停めてそこにもホエールウォッチングのブースがありそこかと思っていたらスターオブホノルルはそこから徒歩5分のところだったので時間ギリギリでした。
ピア5.6のホエールウォッチングはアトランティスという別会社なので注意が必要です。
駐車場はMAX 30ドルで、私は27ドルだったので対して変わりませんでした。いざ乗船して説明聞いてから外に出てクジラを探しましたが結局クジラはみつかりませんでした。景色は最高でした。

The meal was luxurious! The presentation of a whole roasted pig on a cart was impressive! After a photo session, we finally headed to the buffet. There was Hawaiian cuisine, fruits, of course the crispy-skinned roasted pig, roast beef, and desserts. At first, I thought there might not be enough variety, but once I started serving myself, I was completely full. The desserts were almost too much (since it's a buffet, you can go back for more).

The hula dance lesson that you can experience between meals and desserts was also interesting.

Finally, the show was truly entertaining and wonderful, and before I knew it, it was time to end.

食事は豪華！
ガラガラと台車に乗った仔豚の丸焼きの御披露目！それから写真撮影タイムを得て、いよいよビュッフェへ。ハワイアン料理やフルーツ、仔豚の丸焼きはもちろんパリパリの皮、ローストビーフ、デザートまでありました。初め品数が少ないかなと思いましたが、お皿に乗せてみる、そんなことなくお腹一杯になりました。デザートが苦しいくらいです（ビュッフェなので、料理はおかわりもできますよ）。
食事とデザートの合間に体験できるフラダンス講習も面白かったです。

最後にショーは皆さんが記載しているとおり、本当に面白く素晴らしく、あっという間に終了時刻となってしまいました。

The pickup was at 6:45 AM. When it was 6:45 and no one had arrived, I thought they must be going around to other hotels. By 6:55, I started to feel anxious, thinking they should be here soon. At 7:00, I received a call from the hotel front desk saying they would arrive at 7:20. After that, there was no further communication. I heard from the front desk, so the reason was unclear.

Finally, they arrived at 7:30. After that, they went to two more hotels. In the end, we left the last hotel just after 7:55. At the hotel where we were picked up, there were two groups getting on. They were calling out Japanese names at the entrance, but one group was clearly Korean despite having Japanese names. Were they not picking up the right people? The Koreans seemed anxious and looked like they hadn’t been listening to the driver… They didn’t even check names against the voucher.

(The Korean group ended up boarding a flight to Korea, and it was clear that a different person was getting on.) It seems the last hotel switched to a different method and was not present. I’m disappointed that it took so long. Since it was a return flight, it became quite stressful. I’ve used this service several times, so I somewhat understand this situation, but if it were my first time, I would be very worried. This was really unacceptable.

ピックアップが朝の6:45。
6:45になっても来ず、他のホテルを回っているんだろうなと待つ。6:55流石にそろそろかな、とソワソワし出す。7:00ホテルフロントに電話があり7:20になる、と連絡が入る。そこから連絡はなし。フロントの方から聞いた為理由不明。
7:30にやっと到着。
その後2つのホテルを更に回る、と。結局最後のホテルを出たのが7:55過ぎ。
私達をピックアップした後に向かったホテルでは2組が乗車。入口で日本人の名前を呼んでいたが日本名にも関わらず明らかに1組は韓国人。違う人を乗せてない？韓国人も焦っており、運転手の話を聞いていなかった様に見えましたが…バウチャーで名前確認もせず。
(その韓国人は結局韓国行きの飛行機に乗っているしパスポートも韓国で明らかに違う人が乗車していたのでは？)
最後のホテルの方はどうやら別の方法に切り替えたようで不在。
まさかこんなに時間がかかるとは残念です。帰国便と言うこともあり、シビアになります。私は何回か目かの利用なのでこんな状況もなんとなく理解できますが、そうでなければ心配でならないはずです。これは本当にひどすぎました。

It was a bit chilly with the wind, but as we started searching for the whales' spouts, we became so focused that it didn't matter anymore. As we ventured further out, we spotted the whales' tails and spouts! Everyone was moving from right to left, shouting excitedly. It was truly moving to see whales in this vast ocean.

少し風が冷たかったのですが、クジラの潮吹きを探し始めると必死になるため、そんなことは関係なくなってしまいました。沖に出るにつれてクジラの尾びれや潮吹きを見つけると！みんの右に左にと移動して、みんな声を出して騒いでいました。この広い海でクジラが見えるのは感動でした。

The weather was nice and sunny on the day, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. I was told there was a 95% chance of seeing them, which was disappointing. The interior of the boat was clean, the cocktails were delicious, and the scenery was beautiful.

当日は晴れて天候は良かったのですが、
ホエール見えず　見える確率95%と言われましたが残念でした。船内は綺麗でカクテルは美味景色も良かったです。

There are places where a meeting point is set, but since they come to the hotel, I was able to move without carrying heavy luggage for a long time. It was really convenient.

待ち合わせばしを設定されるところもありますが、ホテルに来てくださるので、重い荷物を長時間持つことなく、移動できました。すごく楽でした。

I had a great time horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, where vast landscapes spread out before you. It's a bit of a distance to Kualoa Ranch, but it's worth the trip. It was unfortunate that the weather was cloudy and windy, but I think the views would be clear and beautiful on a sunny day. I thought I might get tired after two hours, but I didn't feel tired at all; the fun outweighed everything.

広大な景色が広がるクアロア牧場での乗馬体験とても楽しかったです。クアロア牧場まで距離はありますが、行く価値あります。天気が曇りで風が強かったのが残念でしたが、晴れだったら景色も澄んでて綺麗だと思いました。2時間で疲れるかなと思いましたが、全然疲れなく、楽しいが勝ちました。

I chose a direct plan from the airport to Ala Moana, so I was able to make effective use of my time before check-in! The eco bag I received at Ala Moana was very helpful in many situations during my stay.

空港からアラモアナに直行のプランにしたので、チェックインまでの時間を有効に使えました！
アラモアナでいただいたエコバックは滞在時たくさんの場面で役立ちました。

On the fourth day of my stay in Hawaii, I visited Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. When I arrived at the meeting place at the designated time, the driver was checking in guests. The shuttle bus did not have any logos for Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.

We arrived in about 30 minutes, and while the park wasn't as large as I had imagined, that actually made it easier to get around without getting tired. The signature Tornado and water slides were, of course, fun, but I especially enjoyed trying the FlowRider with a bodyboard for the first time—it was a blast and I was very satisfied with the facility.

The attractions available inside the park seemed to be limited due to staffing, with different options available in the morning and afternoon. I recommend going back to enjoy the fun things you liked in the morning. If you opt for the all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat options, you show a paper wristband, but after a day of fun, it tends to get a bit worn out, so I think it's a good idea to hide it under the sleeve of your rash guard.

Having a pool experience in Hawaii was definitely a "yes" for me.

ハワイ滞在４日目にウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ訪問です。
集合時間に待ち合わせ場所に向かうと、ドライバーのおじさんが受け付けていました。送迎バスにウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイのロゴ等はありません。
３０分程で到着し、広さはイメージしたほどは広くなかったものの、かえってその方が移動に疲れずよかったです。
名物のトルネードやウォータースライダーももちろん楽しかったのですが、ボディーボードを使ったフローライダーが初挑戦ながらとても楽しく、大満足の施設でした。
館内の稼働施設は人員の関係なのか、午前と午後で遊べるものが限られます。
午前中に面白かったものはまたすぐに行く事をおすすめします。
ドリンク飲み放題や食べ放題をオプションでつけた場合は紙製のリストバンドを見せるのですが、一日遊んでいるとだんだんボロボロになってくるので、普段はラッシュガードの袖で隠すといいと思います。
ハワイに来てのプール、非常に『あり』でした。

To secure time for horseback riding, the sightseeing time in places like Haleiwa felt quite speedy. It gave the impression of sticking to a strict schedule and moving briskly, so for those with children or who want to take it easy, it might be better to focus on one of the plans when booking the tour. Horseback riding was very enjoyable! It seems that horses have their own personalities, as some didn't always listen. (There were horses that kept stopping to look at the grass for food… haha)

乗馬の時間を確保する為、ハレイワなどの観光時間は割とスピーディな印象でした。
時間厳守でキビキビ行動していく…という印象でしたので、お子さん連れやのんびりまったりしたい方は、どちらかのプランに絞ってツアー予約される方がいいかもしれません。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです！
馬も性格があるらしく、なかなか言うことを聞いてくれない馬もいるようでした。(餌の草ばかりに目がいってしまい、何度も足を止める馬がいました…笑)

The ocean floor was much darker than I had imagined, giving me a strong impression of blue! However, I could still distinguish objects, and the transparent blue sea was indeed very mysterious. I had a great experience seeing sharks resting under a sunken airplane and sea turtles taking a break!

想像していたよりも海の底は光が届かないので、とにかく青！青！という印象でした。
ですが物の判別はできますし、透き通った青色をした海はやはりとても神秘的でした。
沈んだ飛行機の下でサメが寝ていたり、ウミガメが休憩していたり…とても楽しい体験をさせてもらいました！

I was happy to see the whale's spout and tail in the distance, but I was disappointed with the food on board, which was just light snacks and not very good in terms of quality or taste. The only thing I enjoyed was the strawberries, which were delicious, and I kept eating those. I wish the coffee had been good at least, but unfortunately, that was also disappointing.

鯨は、遠くで潮吹きと尾ひれが見えただけでしたが、それでも嬉しかったですね。ただ船内での食事は軽食とのことで、内容も味も良くなくがっかりでした。唯一フルーツのイチゴが美味しくそればかりをいただいていました。せめてコーヒーが美味しければ良かったのですが、それも残念ながらの状況でした。
