All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We went as a family of four: my husband, grandmother, and our 8-year-old son.
In the morning, we were picked up by a bus from the hotel (Sheraton Waikiki) and arrived in about 30 minutes after getting on the highway.
We chose a plan with unlimited BBQ and drinks, and we also ordered a cabana for our grandmother as an option.
The cabana was located in front of the wave pool, and although she didn't go into the pool, she was happy to watch her grandchildren play from a cool spot.
The BBQ was brought to the cabana, and it was very delicious.
We had a pickup around 3 PM, so our son seemed to want to play a bit more, but I think it was just the right amount of time for the adults.
If we go to Hawaii again, I definitely plan to visit again.

夫婦と祖母、息子（8歳）の4人で行きました。
朝ホテル（シェラトンワイキキ）にバスでお迎えに来てもらい高速に乗って30分くらいで到着しました。
BBQと飲み物は飲み放題のプランで祖母のためにカバナもオプションで頼みました。
カバナは波の出るプールの前で祖母はプールに入らないのですが、プールで遊ぶ孫の姿を涼しいところで見れて喜んでいました。
BBQはカバナまで持ってきてくれて、味もとても美味しかったです。
15時頃に帰りのお迎えなので、息子には少し遊び足りなそうでしたが大人には程よいくらいでよかったかなと思います。
またハワイに行くことがあれば、必ず行くと思います。

Pretty much spent the whole day in the bus. It's not what we thought it was going to be.

I traveled to Hawaii at the end of the year. It was my third time at Wet 'n' Wild, but perhaps due to the Christmas holiday, there was a significant shortage of staff in the park. As a result, the main attractions were not operational. Everyone was concentrated on one ride, leading to considerable wait times. It might be better to avoid this time of year.

年末にハワイ旅行しました。ウェットワイルドは3回目でしたが、年末のクリスマス休暇なのか園内のスタッフの数が圧倒的に不足。そのためメインのアトラクションが稼動せず。ひとつにみんなが集中しているので相当待たされる事態に。この時期は行かない方がいいかもですね。

There is a shuttle service to the hotel where we are staying.
The pilot was Japanese, which made us feel at ease.
Seeing the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the Cessna created unforgettable wonderful memories.
The pilot also served as a guide, making it very enjoyable.
I would like to fly again for special occasions.

宿泊しているホテルまで送迎あり
パイロットのかたは日本人で安心
ハワイの美しい景色をセスナから観て、忘れられない素敵な思い出になりました。
パイロットの方がガイドもしてくれるのでとても楽しいです。
記念日等でまた乗りたいと思いました。

It's a simple review, but I had a great time.
Coming to Oahu, this is the perfect activity for families with children.
The transportation included is convenient. Since there was no mention of drinks, it's a good idea to bring your own.

かんたんな感想ですが、とても楽しかったです。
オアフ島に来て、子供連れに最適なアクティビティです。
送迎付きが楽でいいです。飲み物は特に何も言われなかったので、持っていくと良いでしょう。

Warm Welcome
Delicious buffet
Exciting entertainment of traditions of Polynesia

We had a great time snot at Hanauma Bay. We saw a lot of beautiful marine life and enjoyed our time there. Our tour guide was very nice and informative.

The weather was cloudy, so I wasn't expecting much from the sea, but I was surprised by the clarity of the water, which was clear enough to see the bottom. We were able to see quite a few dolphins. There were about 100 dolphins, and a group of around 20 swam right beneath us, which was amazing. They also provided support for those who couldn't swim, which was reassuring.

There were about 40 people on the experience, and quite a few (about half were Japanese) got seasick. We were fine because we took medication, but by the second half of the activities, half of the Japanese participants were exhausted and resting.

For safety reasons, canoes were accompanied by staff, and the zup was tethered, which was a bit disappointing, but I think it's necessary because the sea can be dangerous.

On the way back, we were able to watch and even dance the hula, which was fun. Since the weather was cloudy, having a jacket or towel during breaks was essential. There were women who were shivering from the cold.

It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit! It helps with the cold, but also protects against jellyfish stings. Even though it wasn't jellyfish season, I unfortunately got stung in several places.

天候は曇りだったので、海期待していなかったですが入ってみたら底が見える程の透明度で驚いた。そしてかなりの数のイルカを見ることができた。
100頭程いての20頭位の群れが自分達の下を泳いでるのには感度しました。
見れない人泳げないに対してのサポートもしてくれたので安心です。
体験には40人程いてかなりの人（日本人5割位）が船酔いしていました。自分達は薬飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、後半のアクティビティでは日本人の半数はグッタリして休んでいました。
安全上カヌーはスタッフ同伴、ザップは紐で固定されていて少し残念でしたが、海は怖いので必要だと思います。
帰りにフラダンスも見れたり一緒に踊ったりできて楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったので、終わった後や休憩中の上着やタオルは必須です。女性で寒くて震えている人もいました。
ウエットスーツは借りたほうが絶対にいいです！寒さ凌げるのもありますが、クラゲに刺されます。クラゲの時期ではないにも関わらず運悪く何ヶ所も刺されました。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, the staff created a fun atmosphere and kept the spirits high. The sandbar, even under cloudy skies, had shallow areas with different colors of seawater, creating a unique sensation that you don't find in Japan. I was able to see many sea turtles, and while snorkeling, I saw plenty of coral reefs and fish. The BBQ hamburger was incredibly delicious, truly embodying the experience of having a hamburger at an American BBQ. I would love to go back on a sunny day.

あいにくの雨でしたが、スタッフの方々が盛り上げてくれて楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれてました。
サンドバーは曇っていても深い海の中に海水の色が違う浅瀬が、日本にはない不思議な感覚になり楽しく、ウミガメも沢山見ることが出来、シュノーケリングでも珊瑚礁や魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。
そして、BBQハンバーガーは「これがアメリカのBBQで食べるハンバーガー」ってかんじで大変美味しかったです。
晴れた日にもう一度行きたいです。

I knew that the tour would be conducted in English. However, since the order of the meals was predetermined and it was different from what I expected, I felt a bit flustered. Thanks to the staff's coordination, I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much. I believe this is a tour that many Japanese people would like to participate in, so I think it would be sufficient to write on a paper in Japanese: "1. Those with a red wristband should be the first to get up and go for the salad, meat, etc." "Yellow is second." I believe that by simply showing the translated version, it will help overcome the language barrier and allow everyone, not just Japanese people, to participate.

ツアーは英語で行なわれることは知っていました。ただ食事の順番が決められていたので、その順番が違っていたので、あたふたしましたが、スタッフの連携のおかげで、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。日本人も多く参加したいツアーだと思いますので、紙に日本語で書いて「１．リストバンドの赤の色の人は、１番最初に席を立ち、サラダ、お肉等を取りに行ってください。」「黄色は２番目です」翻訳した分を見せるだけでいいと思います。言語の壁を乗り越えたツアーに日本人だけではないのですが皆が参加できるようになると思います。

The weather was unfortunately a bit cold, but the dreamlike sandbar and the experiences of snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) were really enjoyable. Especially with SUP, my partner improved quickly, and I guess having a strong lower body is an advantage (laughs). I would like to challenge myself again.
Also, the sandwiches and potato chips we had on the boat were the best. I ended up buying a lot of potato chips as souvenirs for myself.

あいにくの天候で少し寒かったけど、あこがれのサンドバー、そしてシュノーケリングやＳＵＰ体験はとても楽しかったです。特にＳＵＰはパートナーの方が上達が早く、やはり下半身がしっかりしているほうが向いているのでしょうか（笑）またチャレンジしたいと思います。
それから、船上で食したサンドイッチとポテトチップが最高でした。ポテトチップは自分用のお土産としてタップリ買い込んでしまうほどでした。

The weather was bad and cold, so the water's clarity was poor, which was a bit disappointing... However, I found that getting into the sea was a little warmer than being on the boat.

I was satisfied because I saw plenty of fish and turtles! 😊

天気が悪い上に寒かったので、海の透明度も悪く、少しがっかり…。
ただ、船の上にいるより、思い切って海へ入ったほうが少し暖かい。

魚も亀もいっぱい見れたので満足です(^^）

I recommend this place if you have small children who might get bored while shopping. There are various attractions, so you won't get tired even after spending a whole day there. There are lockers available, so your belongings will be safe. It might be good to have around $30 and a card. The wave pool is fun, but it can be a bit dangerous for shorter kids. Most attractions require a height of about 125 centimeters. I visited in January, and it wasn't cold as long as it was sunny. Bringing a hoodie or something similar will help you feel comfortable even if it gets chilly.

小さい子供がいて、買い物に飽きたらおすすめします。
いろんなアトラクションがあり１日居ても飽きません。
ロッカーがあるので荷物も大丈夫です。
30ドル位と、カードがあるとよいかもしれません。
波のプールは楽しいですが、身長が小さいと少し危ないです
どのアトラクションも125センチくらいは必要です。
１月に来ましたが、晴れてれば寒くないので大丈夫です。
パーカーなど持っていくと、寒くても安心です。

I participated in mid-January under a cloudy sky. I arrived a little before the 10:30 opening, and the parking lot was available. The baggage check was thorough, and food and drinks were confiscated. There are both small and large lockers, but the small ones are quite small, while the large ones are about the size of a medium locker in Japan. With two adults and two children, we managed to cram in bath towels, changes of clothes, and shoes, barely getting the door to close. I think it's best to bring as little luggage as possible. The large locker was $18 and allowed for unlimited access. You set the locker key number and make the payment using a machine. It was reassuring to have staff who spoke Japanese nearby. Changing clothes is done in the changing room inside the restroom.

The park isn't very large, but as indicated by the availability of parking, there weren't many people. It was disappointing that the lazy river was closed all day, but the slides were enjoyable with no waiting. For those who aren't fond of slides, there was a wave pool to float in, and there was also a shallow pool for small children, but it might be tough to spend the whole day there. It seemed like they were alternating between opening and closing the adjacent slides.

The kids seemed to enjoy the Tornado the most, and they appeared to have the best time at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii during our trip to Hawaii. I was unsure about the pool in Hawaii, but I'm glad we included it in our travel plans.

１月中旬の曇り空の中、参加しました。
オープンの10時半少し前に到着しましたが、駐車場は空いてました。手荷物検査はしっかり確認され、飲食物は没収されます。ロッカーは大小ありますが、小はかなり小さめ、大サイズで日本の中サイズといった感じです。大人2人と子供2人でバスタオル、着替え、靴をパンパンに押し込んでなんとか扉が閉まりました。なるべく荷物は少なく持って行った方が良いと思います。ロッカー大は、$18で開け閉め自由でした。また、ロッカーは機械でロッカーの鍵番号を設定し、料金の支払いを行います。日本語が話せるスタッフが側にいて安心でした。着替えはトイレ内の更衣室で行います。
パーク内はそれほど広くありませんが、駐車場の空き具合通り人はまばら。流れるプールが一日中クローズだったのが残念でしたが、スライダーは順番待ち無く乗り放題で快適でした。スライダーが苦手の方は波のでるプールでプカプカ、小さい子供は子供用の浅いプールもありましたが、１日過ごすのは厳しいかも。また、隣り合うスライダーを交互にオープンクローズしている感じでした。
子供たちはトルネードが一番楽しかったらしく、また、ハワイ旅行の中でもウエットアンドワイルドハワイを一番楽しんでいる様子でした。ハワイでプールはどうかなぁと思いましたが、旅行プランに組んで良かったです。

I attended with a friend.
First, a story about a mistake.
I found out at the reception that I had the wrong date for my reservation, and I thought, "Oh no! We can't see it!" However, the woman at the reception changed the date for us, and we were able to attend. I was really looking forward to this show, so she felt like a goddess to me. Thank you so much!
We entered through the VIP entrance, enjoyed a welcome drink and appetizers, and then the show began.
We were guided to our seats in the order we entered, and I think we were about 10th in line, but we ended up right in the center, front row, which was super lucky.
The dinner course was delicious, and I was completely satisfied.
The show featured hula, impersonators, and fire dancing, all of which were wonderful and left me very satisfied!
As a fan of Michael, I was completely captivated by him! It was truly amazing, and I highly recommend this show.
After the show, as we headed towards the exit, the performers were taking commemorative photos, and I got to take a picture with Michael. His voice was so similar, and it was moving. I highly recommend this show!

友達と2人で参加しました。
まず、失敗談です。
予約をしていた日付を間違えていた事を受付で知り、もうダメ‼︎見れない‼︎と思っていた所、受付の女性の方が日付を変更してくれて見れる事になりました。このショーを凄く楽しみにしていたのでその女性が神様に見えました。ホントありがとうございました。
VIP入り口から入り、ウェルカムドリンク、前菜を頂き開場です。
入る順番に席に案内されますが、私達は10番目位だったと思いますがステージの中央1番前で凄くラッキーでした。
ディナーコースはどれも美味しくお腹もいっぱいになり満足できました。
ショーはフラ、そっくりさんショー、ファイヤーダンス、どれも素晴らしく大満足！
わたしはマイケルのファンなのでマイケルに釘付け！ホント素晴らしかったオススメのショーです。
ショーが終わり出口の方に向かうと出演者の方々が記念撮影をしていてマイケルと写真を撮らせてもらいましが喋る声もそっくりで感動しました。オススメのショーです

I was looking forward to the sandbar!
On the day, there was a downpour, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
The BBQ lunch was delicious, and I went back for seconds multiple times!
The staff were friendly, took lots of photos, and chatted with us, making it a great experience.

楽しみにしていたサンドバー！
当日はスコールもありましたが、シュノーケリング、サップも楽しむことができました。
ランチのBBQはおいしくて何度もお替りしました！
スタッフの方も気さくで、たくさん写真をとってくれてり、お話してくれたり良き経験をすることができました。

It's understandable since it's the rainy season, but the weather was bad and the boat was really rocky. I feel like I missed out on lunch because I couldn't eat anything. I was also disappointed that I couldn't see any whales.

雨季だから仕方ないんですが、天気が悪くて船が凄く
揺れました。
ランチも、何も食べられなくて損した気がします。
鯨も見られなくて、ガッカリ

The ship was heaving too much. My family got seasick. But I could watch whales.

It was a cloudy day during the rainy season, but I was able to enjoy it without any downpours. I was amazed when a sandbar suddenly appeared from a depth of 10 meters! I didn't bring reef shoes, so I walked barefoot, which was a bit painful on the soles of my feet (laughs). During snorkeling, I was really happy to see beautiful fish and sea turtles up close! I want to visit Hawaii during the best season next time!

雨季で生憎の曇り空でしたが、スコールが降ることなく楽しめました。水深10mのところから急にサンドバーが現れて感動！リーフシューズを持参していなかったので、裸足で歩きましたが少し足裏が痛かったです（笑）シュノーケリングでは、綺麗な魚たち、ウミガメを間近で見ることが出来て本当に嬉しかった！次はベストシーズンの時にHawaiiに訪れたいと思いました！

We were guided to our seats in the order we lined up. It was definitely worth getting seats in the front. The golden seats allowed us to choose where to sit at a round table with a white tablecloth, so we secured a spot where we could easily see the stage. Since the actual show starts after the meal, I realized later that we could have chosen a closer table, as we could just turn our chairs around even if we were facing away from the stage.

並んだ順に部屋に案内されました。やはり前方席にする価値はありました。ゴールデンシートは白いテーブルクロスのかかった丸テーブルの中で好きなところに座れたので、ステージが見やすいところを確保しました。実際のショーは食事の後なので、ステージに背を向けた席でも椅子の向きを変えれば良かったので、もっと近いテーブルをとれば良かったと後で気づきました。

The weather in Hawaii in January was not great. This time, there was light rain from the morning, it was a bit chilly, and the wind was quite strong, which made me worry. However, the staff created a very fun and bright atmosphere for the participants who were feeling down. When we actually arrived at the sandbar, the rain stopped, and the water was surprisingly not too cold (everyone borrowed free wetsuits). After taking photos at the sandbar and returning to the boat, we saw a sea turtle swimming around the boat. Everyone's low spirits instantly lifted, and we started taking lots of pictures. There was also a snorkeling lesson in shallow water, where we swam about 10 meters to see if we were okay before going to deeper areas, which was great for beginners. I thought I couldn't do it because I can't see anything without my glasses, but they lent me prescription goggles, so I was able to give snorkeling a try. The waves were quite high, but I managed to get through, which was good. My first snorkeling experience was amazing; there were lots of coral reefs below me, and I could see colorful fish swimming around. Plus, I even encountered a sea turtle, which was fantastic. By the time we were heading back, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out, making the sea sparkle beautifully. I never thought snorkeling could be this wonderful. I was so happy to have such a great experience. The driver who picked us up from the hotel was also friendly and wonderful. I truly appreciate how well the staff treated us. If I come to Hawaii again, I would love to join this tour once more.

1月のハワイは天気がイマイチ。今回も朝から小雨がパラパラ、肌寒く、風もなかなか強くて大丈夫かと心配でした。ブルーな参加者達に対して、スタッフさん達はものすごく楽しく明るく雰囲気づくりをしてくれました。実際サンドバーまで到着すると、雨はあがり、海の中も思いのほか寒くなく（無料のウェットスーツをみんな借りました）サンドバーで写真撮って船に戻るとウミガメが、船の周りを回っていました。みんな低かったテンションが一気に上がって写真を撮りまくっていました。シュノーケリングも浅瀬でレッスンがあり、10メートルくらい泳いでみて大丈夫そうなら足のつかないところに行くという、初心者にはありがたいものでした。私は眼鏡をとったらなんにも見えないので無理だと諦めていましたが、度付きのゴーグルを貸してくださったのでシュノーケリングにチャレンジできました。波がなかなか高かったけどなんとか進めたので良かったです。初シュノーケリングは最高で、眼下にはサンゴ礁がたくさんあり、カラフルなお魚がいっぱい泳いでいるのが見れました。しかもウミガメにも遭遇できて言うことなしです。帰る頃には雲も切れて晴れ間見え、海がキラキラして素敵でした。シュノーケリングがこんなに素敵だとは思いませんでした。素晴らしい体験ができて嬉しかったです。またホテルからピックアップしてくださったドライバーさんもフレンドリーで素敵でした。スタッフの方々にはほんとに良くしていただき感謝です。ハワイに来たらまたこのツアーに参加したいです。

The weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which may have contributed to the slightly high waves that caused the boat to rock significantly. While the rest of my family seemed to struggle with seasickness, I was able to see a baby whale perfectly! The last time I went, I saw several adult whales, but this time there was only one baby. It was small and adorable.

天気は曇り時々雨でよくなかったためか、海の波が少し高くて船が大きく揺れました。わたし以外の家族は船酔いで大変そうでしたが、わたしはクジラの赤ちゃんをバッチリ見ました！前回乗った時は大人のクジラが数頭見られたのですが、今回は赤ちゃん1頭のみでした。ミニサイズで可愛かったです。

I wanted to go canoeing, but there were no canoes anywhere. I just paddled on a surfboard. Since I have a 5-year-old child, I tried to reserve a kayak, but I was told, "There are few available, so please let us know on the boat. We'll pass along your request," yet there was no preparation for the kayak. The malasadas and barbecue were delicious, but overall, considering everything, it wasn't worth the price.

カヌーをやりたかったのに　カヌーなどどこにもない。サーフボードにまたがって漕ぐだけ。子供(5さい)がいるのでザヤックを予約しようとしたら「数が少ないので、船上で言ってください。リクエストは伝えておきます」と言われたが、ザヤックの用意は無し。マラサダとバーベキューは美味しかったけど、総合的に考えると値段に見合わない。

The boat was beautiful and nice, but the important thing, the whale, was only seen a little bit of its back. It's understandable since it's nature, but it does lower your spirits when you can't see them. Well, it's a gamble.

船は綺麗で良かったけど、肝心のクジラは背中がちょこッと見えただけ。自然相手だからしょうがないけど、会えないとテンション下がります。まぁ、賭けですね。

I went with my high school freshman and my fourth grader. It probably depends on the child, but my daughter changed clothes halfway through and became the photographer with her smartphone, haha. The fourth grader was overjoyed!! The adults also returned to their childhood, screaming with excitement, and it was so much fun. Hawaii is enjoyable even without the ocean; it was a new discovery. We'll definitely go again next year.

高1と小4の子供と行きました。
高校生はその子によるのでしょうが、我が娘は途中から着替えてスマホでカメラマンに徹していました笑
小4男子は大喜び！！
付き合う大人も童心に帰ってキャーキャー叫んで、すごく楽しかったです。
海じゃなくても楽しいHawaii、新発見です。
来年もまた行きます。

Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. However, the breakfast buffet on the ship was very delicious, and we were able to relax while enjoying the vast ocean view. I look forward to the next opportunity.

残念ながら鯨を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし船の上での朝ご飯バイキングはとても美味しく、広大な海を眺めてのんびりとした時間を過ごすことができました。
また次の機会に期待します。

In early December, I participated in a tour recommended by a colleague with my family of seven across three generations. We enjoyed the popular malasadas from Hawaii on the boat and headed offshore in less than seven minutes. The weather wasn't great, and the water was cold, reaching up to my waist, but I was amazed by the number of sea turtles. They approached us without fear. The tour guide was also very friendly. My 84-year-old and 82-year-old in-laws were thrilled and having a great time. The buffet-style BBQ lunch was delicious, and we went back for seconds. There was a little incident at the end, but I was grateful for the tour guide's quick response. This was a tour I would love to join again when I come back to Hawaii. Next time, I want to participate during a time with good weather in the shallow waters. Thank you so much for your help!

本当にお世話になりありがとうございました。

The waves were high, and I think it also depends on the tides, but the water depth at the sandbar was deep. Only those who could swim against the waves could participate in snorkeling where the coral reef fish were, and I couldn't see any fish or sea turtles... It's winter, so I understand, but it was cold, and since I wore a wetsuit, my swimsuit was inside the suit, and the photos turned out lonely. I wish someone had told me if there were sea turtles (maybe I just didn't ask...). Was it just bad timing!? However, the guides were very kind and even took photos for us. We had fun playing with the floaties. Thank you!

波が高くて、潮の満ち引きにもよると思いますが、サンドバーの水深が深かったです。サンゴ礁の魚がいるところには、波に逆らって泳げる人しかシュノーケルに参加できず、魚もウミガメも見れなかった…
季節が冬だから仕方ないですが、寒くて、ウェットスーツを着たので、水着はスーツの中で、写真もさみしかったです。
ウミガメがいたら、教えて欲しかったです。(私が聞いてなかっただけかもですが…)
タイミングが悪かったのかな！？
でも、ガイドさん達は、すごく親切で写真も撮ってくださいました。浮き輪でも楽しく遊べました。
ありがとうございました！

Don't expect a giant whale to appear right in front of you. We were picked up at the Ko Olina Marriott with about ten others and headed to Waianae Harbor. There were already some participants lined up, probably around 40 to 50 people, and I think we were the only two Japanese. Unfortunately, I could only understand about 80% of the guide's explanations, but I got the gist of it.

We enjoyed a large catamaran yacht cruising at engine speed. Since it was a yacht, we were close to the water, and although the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, we had a great time cruising. Once we got offshore, we encountered a small whale that spouted water a few hundred meters away. We saw it several times, and each time there were cheers. I think the sight of a giant tail appearing right in front of us is just a picture from the brochure.

After that, the boat headed to the dolphin area. The dolphins swim in groups and are very curious, coming close to the boat, so we could see them well. However, I had previously participated in a dolphin watching cruise from the same harbor in the summer, and I felt that the dolphins were more energetic and jumping around at that time.

The nearly two-hour cruise included all-you-can-eat rice crackers that looked like persimmon seeds and one drink (including alcohol) for just under $100. I thought it was a bit pricey, but my wife was very impressed. Besides encountering whales and dolphins, she also enjoyed the scenery and the cruising itself.

We were also taken back to the Ko Olina Marriott afterward. Additionally, you have to take off your shoes when boarding, and it's barefoot inside the boat. You just throw your shoes into a container box on the dock, so if you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a plastic bag or something to carry them inside. We didn't mind since we were wearing flip-flops and sneakers, but my wife found it a bit troublesome to take off her socks.

巨大なクジラが目の前に現れて・・なんて期待してはいけません。
コオリナマリオットで10名ほどピックアップしてもらって、ワイアナエハーバーへ。すでに先客組が並んでいて４０~５０名ほどの参加者でしょうか、日本人は我々2名だけだったと思います。残念ながらガイドさんの説明は８０％は理解できなかったけれど、それなりに分かるものです。
大型のカタマランヨットを機走（エンジンで進む）で楽しみます。ヨットなので海面も近く、参加日は曇り時々晴れでしたがクルージングも楽しめました。沖合に出ると数百メータ先に「プシュッ！」と潮を吹いて泳ぐ小さなクジラに遭遇しました。何度か出くわしますが、そのたびに歓声が上がります。目の前を巨大な尾びれが現れて・・というのはパンフレットの写真だけだと思います。
その後、イルカのエリアにも船は向ってくれました。イルカは群れを成すし好奇心豊かで船にも近づくのでよく見えます。ただ同じハーバーから以前夏にイルカウォッチングクルーズに参加したことがあるのですが、その時のほうがジャンプしたりイルカも元気だったような気がします。
2時間近くのクルーズで、柿の種みたいなあられ(食べ放題？）とワンドリンク（アルコールもあり）で$100弱。ちょっと高いかななんて思ったのですが、カミさんはとても感激。クジラやイルカの遭遇以外にも景色やクルージング自体も楽しかったようです。
帰りもコオリナマリオットまで送ってもらえました。
あと、乗船時に靴を脱ぎ船内は裸足です、脱いだ靴類は桟橋のコンテナボックスに投げ入れるだけなので気になる人はビニール袋等持参して船内に持ち込むのも一考かもしれません。我々はビーサンとスニーカーだったので気にしませんでしたが、カミさんが靴下脱いだり面倒くさがっていました。

3階建てのクルーズでしたが、1階に座るように言われました。しかし、ウェイトレスが空いている席があれば別の階に移動してもいいと言ってくれたので、私たちは移動しました。それが素晴らしかったです。3階では、雲が多い日でしたが、夕日を見ました。それでも楽しめました。この場所を完全にお勧めします :)

It was 3 floor cruise, and we were told to seat on the 1st floor but waitress told us that we can move and go to different floor if the seats are vacant so we did and it was great. At 3rd floor, we saw sunset it was cloudy day but still enjoyed. I totally recommend this place:)
