I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.

After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.

I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.

楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング！クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。

いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。

It was absolutely amazing! (^O^)
I went in the afternoon, and the sandbar was about knee-deep.
But sitting down and taking pictures actually allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the sea even more!
The ocean was sparkling, and I felt like I could stay there forever!
There weren't as many colorful fish while snorkeling as I expected, but I was able to swim with a sea turtle! ♪♪♪
I was desperately trying not to touch the sea turtle as it swam away! Haha!
It was really great to see it up close!
I was able to see several from the boat as well.
Leonard's malasadas and lunch were really delicious!
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again!!!
The guide and the captain were also really nice!

とにかく最高でした(^O^)
午後の便で行きましたがサンドバーはひざ下くらいでした。
でも座って写真撮ったりするのには逆に海の綺麗さが伝わって良かったかな！
とにかく海がキラキラしててずっとここにいれる〜！って感じでした。
シュノーケリングは思ったほどカラフルな魚はいなかったですが、なんと！海ガメと泳ぐことができました♪♪♪
海ガメを触らないようにこっちが逃げるの必死でした！笑
ほんとーに間近で見られてとっても良かったです！
船の上からも何匹も見ることできました。
レナーズのマラサダ、ランチとっても美味しかった
です！
またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！！！
ガイドの方、船長さんもとっても良い方でした！

We went with seven people, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the dinner and the show! The dinner is buffet-style, so it might be enough to just attend the show.

7人で行ったのですが、ディナーもショーも堪能出来充分でした！
ディナーはブッフェタイプなので、ショーだけでも充分かもしれないです。

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!

My wife and I decided to go whale watching and the first time out we did not see any whales. However, they have a guarantee so we went out a second time a few days later and saw lots of whales. It was fun and exciting. It was really enjoyable and the cruise back to Honolulu was relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone and I would definitely do this whale watching cruise again.

Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset

The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!

After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!

We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!

It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!

送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした！！
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂（サンゴから）の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足！
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー！さらにアザラシ？！どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです（日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと）。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5～10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見！
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。

We had a great time out with a fabulous, fun and friendly crew. We loved being on this particular boat. You can stand really close to the edge or laze out in the middle over the netting. Oh and the whales were entertaining too. We even saw one breech! Will definitely do this again.

The sandbar looked beautiful. I also went snorkeling, but it felt crowded and murky, like swimming with a group of people, so I couldn't see anything. If you're going to snorkel, I feel like another plan might be better. Overall, I enjoyed the sandbar, and the tour guide was very entertaining, making it a fun tour.

サンドバーは綺麗に見えました。
シュノーケリングもしたのですが、シュノーケリング部隊といったスイミーみたいな感じで泳ぐ感じなので、混雑しており水も濁り何も見えませんでした。
シュノーケリングをするなら、別のプランのほうがいいように感じました。
総合的には、サンドバーは満喫できたことと、ツアーのお姉さんがとても面白かったので楽しいツアーでした。

I am sure I have done this, but will do it again"our visit to Pearl Harbor, was thought provoking,informative, sad, educational and enlightening. The story of Pearl Harbor is a tragic era in our modern history. As an Australian, I empathise with the Americans for the way their service people and civilians were attacked, violated and killed at that time in history. The war in the Pacific involved a list of countries. My place of work, is named after a Hospital Ship "Centaur "..this boat belonged to the Australian fleet. It was bombed off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane.....it had the flag stipulating its identity as a Hospital Ship, but was still attacked by a Japanese submarine. Many innocent people lost their lives on that day also, same as in Pearl Harbor. Our freer was sensational, his knowledge and wit were unbelievable..

The staff were all kind and welcomed us with smiles. The initial flash show and fire show had high-level dancers and were very good. They came down from the stage, sang, and showered guests with flowers and shook hands, providing great service. I spoke with a Michael look-alike during the final photo session, and he was a modest person with a personality similar to Michael's!? I had a one-year-old with me, but thanks to the child sleeping through the show, I was able to concentrate on the performance. I'm also happy that we could take photos at the end! There were many Michael fans and honeymooners. It was so much fun!!

スタッフの方も皆親切で、笑顔で歓迎されました。
最初のフラショー、ファイヤーショー、もダンサーのレベルが高くとてもよかったです。
ステージから降りてきて、歌いながらゲストにお花をかけてくれたり握手したり、サービスもよかったです。
マイケルのそっくりさん、最後の写真撮影でお話ししましたが控えめな方で性格もマイケル似！？
1歳の子連れでしたが子供はすべて寝てくれたおかげでショーに集中できました。
最後に写真撮影もできるのも嬉しいです♪
マイケルファンの方とハネムーンの方が多かったです。
とっても楽しかった！！

A real Aloha spirit was experience on this cruise. My family enjoyed it very much.
Food was good and the service was excellent!!!

On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

当日は雨と風あったせいか船上でも寒かった。
それとBBQと書いてあったが実際には網焼きされたハンバーガーだった。
そらならハンバーガーって書いて欲しい、お肉を自分達が焼くのかと思ってしまう。
シュノーケリングも寒くてみんな震えていた。
こんな時はウェットスーツでも用意して欲しい。
もうこのツアーは参加したくないです。

I came back again this year. The scenery on this cruise was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales, but I definitely want to plan for next year and participate again.

去年に続き、やってきました。このクルーズ景色はサイコーでした。
残念でしたがホエールは見れませんでした、来年も計画して是非参加したいです。

Setting off on the cruiser.
About an hour of snorkeling. The sea turtles were super close!!
They were almost too close for comfort. I was exhausted after an hour (laughs).
After that, we went cruising. The champagne was served in regular plastic cups, and they were overflowing!
It was fun. I want to do it again.

クルーザーに乗っていざ出発。
1時間ほどシュノーケル。めっちゃウミガメ近い！！
怖いくらい近かったです。1時間へとへとでした(笑)
そのあと、クルージング。シャンパンが普通のプラコップに大盛りでした！
楽しかった。またやりたいです。

It was rainy with occasional clouds and strong winds, making it quite gloomy. I thought it would be amazing if it were sunny, but unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance. The water level at the sandbar was low, just below my knees, so that was a good thing. The snorkeling was disappointing as well, possibly due to the rain and wind; there were hardly any fish, and the sea was dark. They ask you to pair up for snorkeling! I participated alone, but since the husband of a couple who joined was observing, I teamed up with his wife, which made it easy for me to join the snorkeling even as a solo participant, so that was nice. All in all, the disappointing part was the weather. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. If you participate in rainy weather, it might be better not to have overly high expectations. I would like to go again when it's sunny next time.

雨時々曇りで風も強風でドンヨリしてました。晴れたら最高ったとは思いますが残念ながら海亀も遠くから少し見るだけでした。サンドバーの水位は低く膝下だったので～それだけは良かったです。シュノーケリングも雨と風のせいか？魚がほとんどおらず海も暗く残念でした。シュノーケリングではバディを組んで下さい！と言われます。１人で参加してましたがカップルで参加してみえた奥様の旦那様が見学されるという事で奥様とバディを組み１人参加でも難なくシュノーケリングに参加出来ましたので～それも良かったです。とにもかくにも残念なのは天気です。景色を楽しむ事は出来ませんでした。雨降りに参加される場合は過度な期待はしない方が良いかも？今度は晴れた時に又行ってみたいです。

Loved the cultural center and all its history. I felt like we could have gotten there earlier if our tk guide didn't share so many personal stories. We had many beautiful stops but he'd wait till we sat back in our seats to stand and share stories. I'd prefer to get on the road and spend more time at stop points or cultural center

This time, I went for the first time with my daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly in the morning, but it warmed up in the afternoon, and we were able to fully enjoy the water park! Looking at the map, it seemed very large, and I thought we definitely wouldn't be able to cover it all in the time we had, but in reality, it was just the right size, and we managed to experience almost all the slides. I think it was also because it was a weekday.

There are many slides for two or more people, so the whole family can enjoy it! However, since one staff member manages several slides, they pause and start every 30 minutes. I found this system a bit inconvenient. Because people tend to concentrate on the open slides, I think it can get quite crowded during peak times. I recommend going on a weekday. However, it's much less crowded compared to Japan, so if you have time to spare, it's worth going!

We had about four hours of actual playtime, and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest! I think I'll try to go again if I have the chance.

今回は娘と2人で初めて行ってみました。
あいにくのお天気で午前中はかなり肌寒かったですが午後には暖かくなり、ウォーターパークを満喫することが出来ました！
地図を見るとかなり広〜く見え、絶対に時間内では回りきれないなぁと思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良い位の広さでほぼスライダーなどは制覇出来ました。平日だったからということもあるかと思いま
す。
2人乗り以上のスライダーが多いので家族全員で楽しめるかと...！ただ、幾つかのスライダーを係員1人で掛け持ちしているため、30分ごとにスライダーが休止になったり始まったりします。このシステムは少し面倒だなぁと感じました。開いているスライダーに人が集中するため、混んでいる時期はかなり並ぶかと思います。行くなら平日がオススメです。ただ日本とは比べ物にならない位空いているので、時間に余裕のある方は行く価値あります！
実際に遊べる時間は4時間位でしたが、存分に楽しむことが出来ました！また機会があったら行ってみようと思います。

We arrived in about an hour by bus from the Hyatt Regency Hotel! It can get cold on the bus, so having a light jacket would be a good idea. We were fast asleep, so we arrived in no time. Since we got there right when it opened, it was quite empty, and we were able to experience all the attractions without waiting in line at all. I've heard that going on a weekday is less crowded.

The attractions open every 30 minutes in rotation, so it’s a good idea to check when the ones you want to ride will be operating. Meals like hamburgers and yakisoba are sold for about $11, and the taste was average. Drinks are expensive, so it's better to bring your own, but be careful as you can only bring one unopened bottle of water per person.

Lockers are a bit pricey at $13, so I just carried my valuables and left them on the free beach beds without any issues. Unlike pools in Japan, the slides were the main attraction, and the thrill was completely different! Some of them were even similar to roller coasters! It's an experience you can only have overseas, so I think it's definitely worth going!

ハイアットリージェンシーホテルから、バスに乗って約1時間で到着しました！
バスの中が寒いので羽織り物があるといいかと思います。
私たちは爆睡していたので、あっという間に到着しました。
オープンと同時に到着したのでガラガラで、全然並ばずに全てのアトラクションを体験できました。
平日に行った方が空いているそうです。
アトラクションは30分おきに交代でオープンするので、乗りたいものが何時から動くのかはチェックしておくといいと思います。
食事はハンバーガー、焼きそばなどが約11ドルくらいで販売しており味は普通でした。
飲み物が高いですが持っていった方がいいですが、未開封の水を1人1本までしか持ち込めないのでお気をつけください。
ロッカーが13ドルと少し高いので貴重品だけ身につけて、無料のビーチベッドに置いておきましたが問題ありませんでした。
日本のプールと違いスライダーがメインで、迫力が全然違いました！
どちらかというとジェットコースターに近いものもありました！
海外でしか経験できないので行く価値ありだと思います！

I participate every year. Since my flight from Haneda is in the evening, I check out of the hotel and use the time until my return. The purpose is whale watching, so I don't include meals. If I eat on the boat, I would miss the precious opportunity. We spend the entire time on the deck, and thanks to that, we get to see whales!

毎年参加しています。羽田便が夕方なので、ホテルをチェックアウトして、帰国までの時間を使っています。ホエールウォッチングが目的なので、お食事はつけません。船内で食事をしてては、せっかくのチャンスを逃してしまいます。最初から最後までデッキで過ごすのが私たち流ですが、おかげでクジラに出会えます！

I was worried that I wouldn't encounter any whales today, but then there was an announcement saying that a whale was spotted in the distance! I hurried to the area, but I couldn't see it with my naked eye. After this happened twice, I finally managed to see a whale clearly. After that, I was able to see whales spouting water and even jumping multiple times, making for a very satisfying whale watching experience! I also encountered a mother and calf whale. After the whale expert's explanation in English, there was also a Japanese explanation, which was very clear and helpful.

The ocean was quite windy and chilly, so I think it would be good to have an extra layer of clothing. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea was exceptional. I found myself thinking that I would love to come back again while enjoying the view.

なかなかクジラに遭遇できず、今日はダメかなあと思っていたら、遠くにクジラが見えますとアナウンスが！！あわてて見えた方に移動するも肉眼では確認できず。このようなことが2回あったあと、ようやく肉眼でクジラを見ることができました。その後は何度も何度も潮を吹くクジラやジャンプ？するクジラを見ることができて大満足のホエールウォッチングでした！！親子クジラにも遭遇しました。クジラ博士の英語の説明のあと日本語の説明もあり、とてもわかりやすくてよかったです。
外海はとても風が強くて肌寒かったので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドは格別でした。
また、来たいなーと思いながら眺めていました。

The activities, dancing, and MC were very good. The food, however was just average. I have been to several luau before all of which had a better food selection.

I experienced the sea of paradise. The scenery was wonderful. The weather was great, and the colors of the sea and sky were cobalt blue, with the green of the Coral Mountains and the white sandbar. It was truly magnificent.
The muffins for a light snack were delicious, and I had plenty of time for snorkeling, which was fun.
The only disappointment was that I didn't encounter a single sea turtle. But that's nature, so it can't be helped.

天国の海を実感しました。素晴らしい景色でした。お天気がよかったのもあって、海と空の色はコバルトブルー。コウラル山脈のグリーン。白いサンドバー。本当に見事でした。
軽食のマフィンもおいしくて、シュノーケリングもたっぷり時間があって楽しかったです。
残念なのは、ウミガメに1匹も遭遇しなかったこと。自然のことだから仕方ありませんね。

It was not crowded since it was a weekday. The food stalls and slides had only a short line, so we were able to enjoy a lot within the time we had! The smoking area was conveniently located and easy to find, which was appreciated by smokers. The lifeguards were attentive, blowing whistles to warn running children and monitoring the lines for the slides. I felt it was stricter in that regard compared to pools in Japan, which made me feel safer.

平日なので空いていました。
食べ物の売店もスライダーもわずかな列でしたので時間内たくさん楽しめました！
喫煙者にもありがたい、わかりやすく近い喫煙所でした。
ライフガードの方々が笛を鳴らして走る子供達を注意したり、スライダーの整列を見張っていらっしゃって、日本のプールよりもその点厳しく、安心だと思いました。

We didn't get to SNUBA due to the conditions on the water; however, the trip was fantastic, the crew was very very friendly as well as experienced. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Food wasn't that great and wished it was on a beach, but the dancers were outstanding!

One of the highlights of this trip was Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii! Since my 9-year-old was looking forward to it, we chose an all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch plan that allowed us to navigate efficiently.

I took everyone's advice and prepared for the cold on the bus, but it was incredibly chilly. On the way back, I asked them to raise the temperature a bit, and they did.

There are lockers available in various sizes; we used a large one and paid $18. Credit cards are accepted.

From the map and scale I researched beforehand, I thought the pool would be grand in size, but surprisingly, it seemed manageable in a day. My son loved the wave pool and went in multiple times.

There were lifeguards at the wave pool, and they measured the height of small children, directing those who didn't meet the requirements to the kids' pool.

The all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch was a light buffet-style meal. However, not all food booths were open, and there were lines during lunchtime, so I was glad we opted for the all-inclusive plan. Alcohol is also available for purchase. You need to show a copy of your passport or ID for verification, and they put a wristband on you. However, you can only buy one drink at a time.

I was looking forward to the bodyboarding lesson, which was scheduled for both morning and afternoon, but only the afternoon session took place. I thought we would get some instruction on how to ride the board, but when the time came, we were just handed the boards and left to play in the waves until the time was up. My child seemed to enjoy it, though.

Since we didn't experience any intense attractions this time, I hope to enjoy some rides on our next visit.

今回の旅行の目玉の１つでもあったウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ！
子供（９歳）も楽しみにしてたので、効率よく回れるBBQランチ食べ放題プランをチョイスしました。
バスは皆さんの書き込みを参考にして寒さ対策をしてたのですが半端なく寒くて、帰りのバスでは少し温度を上げてもらうようお願いしたところ、あげてくれました。
ロッカーは大小あり、私たちは大サイズを利用し１８＄払いました。クレジットもOKです。
事前に調べた際の地図や規模から壮大なスケールのプールかと思いきや、意外と一日で回れちゃいそうでした。息子は波のプールがお気に入りで何度も入っていました。
波のプールは監視員さんがいて小さい子が入る際は身長をはかり条件に満たないとキッズプールにいくように指示していたみたいです。
BBQランチ食べ放題はバイキング形式の軽いものでした。でも食べ物を買うブースは全てオープンしてなくて昼時は行列が出来てたので全て込みのプランでよかったと思いました。
アルコールも買えます。パスポート等のコピーを見せてIDを確認しリストバンドを手首に巻いてくれます。ただ、１回につき１本しか買えません。
楽しみにしていたボディボードレッスンは午前・午後の２回予定されてましたが、午後の1回のみでした。レッスンとあったので乗り方を誰かに教えてもらえる♪と思ってたのですが、時間になるとボードを渡されて時間まで各自勝手に波と戯れて終わりでした。子供は楽しかったようです。
今回は激しいアトラクションは全く体験していなかったので次回はアトラクションを楽しみたいです。

We participated with my child and my daughter. There are many types of slides, but considering the number of times we could slide and the cost, I feel like it might not have been worth it to slide in Hawaii. My daughter said she had fun.
We arrived right when the park opened and entered. First, we stored our belongings in a locker. There are large and small sizes, but I wasn't sure about the size, so I chose a large one, but a small one might have been fine. Alternatively, since we didn't have any valuable items, we could have just left them in the shade.
The staff member was managing two slides and moved between them every 30 minutes, so one of the slides was closed at any given time. Also, when they opened the slides every 30 minutes, there was a line, and we couldn't ride immediately. Some slides had only two or three tubes, and I thought that if there were more tubes, the turnover rate might improve. Just before we were about to leave, we were in line to ride the Shaka, but around 2:40 PM, a staff member came and said it would be closed for about 15 minutes for inspection or something. Since we wouldn't make it back in time for the 3:15 PM bus, we had to give up and leave after waiting in line for about 15 minutes. Also, the concrete gets hot, and wearing flip-flops can be a hassle when riding the slides. I wish I had brought water shoes.

子供と親娘2人で参加しました。スライダーは沢山種類がありますが、滑れた本数とコストから考えると、ハワイでわざわざ滑らなくてもよかったかな～というのが親の感想。娘は楽しかった、と言ってます。
開園丁度に到着し、入園。 まずはロッカーに荷物を預けました。large smallとありますが、サイズ感が分からず大きいのを選びましたが、小さくてもよかったかな。若しくは大した貴重品もなかったので、木陰に置いててもよかったかな。という感じです。
スライダーは、係員の人が二つのスライダーを掛け持ちしていて、二つのスライダーを30分毎に移動します。なので、二つのうちどちらかが閉まっています。また、30分毎にスライダーを開ける時には、列ができておりすぐに乗れない状態です。中には、チューブが2、3個しかないものもありもう少しチューブの数があれば回転率は上がるかもしれないと思いました。帰る直前にshakaに乗ろうと並んでいましたが、2時40分頃に係員がきて、検査だかなんだかで15分くらいクローズする、と言われました。3時15分の帰りのバスの集合時間に間に合わなくなるため、折角15分位並んでいましたが、諦めて帰りました。あと、コンクリートが熱くなっていますか、スライダーに乗るときビーサンだと邪魔になります。ビーチシューズを持って来れば良かったと思いました。

Good service and good experience with both Dolphin Watch & Snorkel. I would give 5 star if they had a pro photo services.

Very nice experience! I was going with my 8yd son. Very impressive!
