All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We wanted to visit a different beach than Waikiki, so we joined as a couple. The sandbar was even more beautiful than we imagined, and we were able to take a lot of photos. It's a perfect place to create memories, so I recommend bringing a waterproof camera. When we went, it was the rainy season, and it was cloudy during lunchtime. It was a bit chilly, so I skipped snorkeling and watched the sea turtles instead. The staff seemed to provide careful guidance, and everyone was having a great time. Overall, I think the cost performance is quite good.

ワイキキビーチとはまた違う海に行きたかったのでカップルで参加しました。想像していた以上に美しいサンドバーでは沢山の写真を撮る事ができました。思い出を作る場所にぴったりなのでウォータープルーフのカメラ持参をオススメします。私たちが行った時は雨期で、ランチタイムには曇り空。肌寒かったので私はスノーケリングは見送り、ウミガメを見てました。スタッフさん達は丁寧に指導してくれるようで、みなさん楽しんでおられました。全体的にコスパも悪くないと思います。

At the beginning of the tour, I saw a glimpse of a whale's tail, but after that, nothing at all. It started to rain, which was a bit disappointing. Well, since it's nature, I guess there's nothing you can do about it.

ツアーのはじめの方で、クジラのしっぽが少し見えたのですが、その後は全く。雨も降ってきてしまい、ちょっと残念な結果でした。ま、自然相手なので、仕方ないかな、と思います。

I was able to see the whale perfectly. I'm also satisfied with the ray I created. However, I was surprised by how expensive the parking fee was.

くじらは、バッチリ会う事ができました。
レイも作成して、満足です。
ただ、ﾊﾟｰｷﾝｸﾞ代の高いこと、びっくりしました。

This cruise was def. something worth seeing! It gets a little chilly out on the ocean; should bring a jacket, but it def. was amazing and beautiful! I totally recommend it to anyone!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales this time, but I did get to see dolphins. There were a few people who joined alone, so it's a tour that you can easily participate in. Next time, I definitely want to see whales in person!!

残念ながら今回はクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、イルカを見ることはできました。一人で参加の方も数名いましたし、気軽に参加できるツアーです。次回こそはクジラを生で見てみたいです！！

The cruising this time was blessed with good weather, and we even encountered whales off the coast of Diamond Head, making it the best event. My family who participated together was very satisfied. I understood that the limited variety of food at the buffet was acceptable given that it was on a ship. I also appreciated the somewhat hesitant Japanese explanations. After the whale encounter, there were activities on board like hula dance lessons, ukulele lessons, and lei-making experiences, ensuring that passengers were not bored, which made for a fun time.

今回のクルージングでは好天に恵まれ、またダイヤモンドヘッド沖でクジラにも遭遇でき、最高のイベントとなりました。
一緒に参加した家族も大満足です。
ビュッフェでの料理で食材の種類が限られるのも、船内でのビュッフェということで納得。
たどたどしい日本語の解説も好感が持てました。
クジラとの遭遇が終わった後も、船内ではフラダンス講習、ウクレレ講習、レイの手作り体験等、乗客が退屈しないような取組みがされており、楽しい一時でした。

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, and I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. The views were amazing, and snorkeling was fun. The steep path to the beach was easy to navigate with the bus included in the Alan Wong tour. On the last day, I went again and was even more impressed. I want to go to Hanauma Bay again next time.

ハワイ４回目で初めて行けたハナウマ湾。素晴らしい眺望とシュノーケルは楽しかった。海岸までの急な坂道もアランワンのツアーなら、バス付きで楽々往復できました。最終日のもう一度行ってさらに感動。次も、また、ハナウマベイに行きたいです。

We participated as a family. We were able to see many sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we got to see a variety of colorful tropical fish up close. Everyone in the family is satisfied. The only disappointment was that the weather was cloudy, and we didn't have the sandbar with a blue sky as the backdrop. Yukiko and the staff were very attentive and made it a lot of fun, creating precious memories for our family. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、またシュノーケリングでは色とりどりの熱帯魚も間近にたくさん見ることができました。家族全員満足しています。天気が曇っていて、青空バックのサンドバーではなかったことが唯一残念でした。ユキコさんはじめ、スタッフのみなさんの対応も丁寧でとても楽しく、家族の大切な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it this time. I hope for the next time. The chicken tandoori was delicious.

天気もよく期待していたのですが今回は残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでした。次回に期待したいと思います。食事はチキンタンドリー美味しかったです。

I participated with my mother, my sisters, and my aunt. I signed up so that my mother and aunt, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, could truly experience it. On the day of the event, my mother and aunt got the time wrong and arrived about 30 minutes late, but the staff were very accommodating, and it didn't affect the rest of the schedule.

The activities included making leis and hula lessons, but thanks to the staff's arrangements, we also got to pick and crack open kukui nuts, which was an experience you can't find elsewhere. The teachers were exceptional, providing instruction that you wouldn't normally receive, and my beginner mother and aunt were very pleased. By the evening, they were so engrossed that they were reviewing what they learned at the hotel.

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of sightseeing, shopping, and gourmet food, but I believe participating in a tour like this, where you can touch on Hawaii's history and culture, will create wonderful memories. While going with friends is great, I think participating as a parent-child duo allows for unexpected discoveries and strengthens bonds.

It was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much. However, while they do provide water, it's just a paper cup's worth per person, so I think it's better to bring your own bottle.

母と私達姉妹とおばと４人で参加しました。ハワイが初めての母と叔母にハワイを感じてほしくて申し込みしました。当日母達が時間を間違えて３０分程遅れてしまいましたが、スタッフの方の対応もよくてその後のスケジュールにも支障がでずに済みました。
内容はレイ作りとフラレッスンでしたが、それ以外にもスタッフの方の計らいでククイの実を拾って割ってみたりと他では体験出来ないような内容です。
レイとフラは先生も普段では、教えていただけないよな先生にきちんと教えて頂き初心者の母や叔母もとても喜んでいました。夜にはホテルで復習するほどに夢中になっていました。
ハワイというと観光、買い物、グルメと思いますが、ハワイの歴史や文化にふれあうこの様なツアーに参加してみるのもとてもいい思い出になると思います。
友達同士もいいけど親子で参加すると意外な発見や絆を感じることが出来ると思います。
とても大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
ただ、お水を頂けるのですが、一人一本のボトルではなく紙コップ一杯の水なのでマイボトルを持参したほうがいいと思います。

I was eager to partake in the Whale Watching Cruise, my husband joined in because he knew it was something I was keen on doing. I had high hopes & admittedly was disappointed. We saw numerous 'blows' but from a great distance, two flukes & one dorsal, again pretty far away. I realize there is no guarantees ~ I guess my expectations were unrealistic & the boat could not get too close for the safety of these beautiful animals.

I found it interesting & sad that family groups on the tour often were too busy on their iPhones, Game Boys etc., to bother going on deck ~ why did you come?? Leave the electronics at home & enjoy nature!!

It was a slightly cloudy day, but the waves were calm, and there was absolutely no worry about seasickness—it was the best day! The sea was, as expected, very beautiful and clear. Although it was said that the sea was dark due to the clouds, we could still see the sea turtles clearly, and the photos turned out great!

Due to the tides, the sandbar had quite a bit of water, up to about waist-deep. Moreover, the seawater was cold! However, with the bright and energetic instructor's enthusiastic invitation, everyone squealed with excitement as we headed into the water. I was mistaken in thinking it would only be ankle-deep. Please be cautious about that. We were able to arrive at the hotel before noon, which was convenient time-wise. I highly recommend it!

少し曇りの日でしたが、波はおだやかで船酔いの心配は全くなしで、最高の日でした。
海はさすが、とても綺麗で透き通っていました。ウミガメも曇りで海が暗いとは言われましたが、ちゃんと見えて写真もバッチリ！
潮の関係もありサンドバーは結構水深があり腰くらいまででした。しかも、海水は冷たい！！でも、明るく元気のよいインストラクターの強引な？誘いでみんなキャーキャー言いながら海へ。足首くらいと思っていたのは間違いでした。その点はご注意を。昼前にはホテルに到着でき、時間的にも適当でよかったです。オススメです。

I participated on December 25th. I had been curious about this event every time I visited Hawaii, so I decided to join this time. First, we had a buffet meal at the special venue set up on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. The staff was very pleasant. The food was decent, but there weren't many options. During the meal, we enjoyed music and hula. After the meal, we went to the show venue. We were seated in the front row of the second floor, watching the dining scene on the first floor for a while. The impersonators of the stars were somewhat debatable in terms of resemblance, but they seemed to be genuinely trying to entertain us, making it enjoyable as a show. The Elvis impersonator came around shaking hands while singing in front of the front row on the second floor, creating a "wow" atmosphere. I don't think it's suitable for children, but I believe those who know Elvis and Michael Jackson will enjoy it.

　12月25日に参加しました。これまでハワイに行くたびに気になっていたので今回参加してみました。初めにロイヤルハワイアンＳＣ４階に設けられた特設会場でビュッフェの食事。スタッフはとても感じがよかったです。食事はまあまあ、品数は多くありません。食事の間、音楽とフラが楽しめます。食事の後ショーの会場へ。私たちは２階席の最前列。しばらく１階席の食事の様子を眺めていることになります。スターのそっくりさんは、似ているかというと微妙な感じなのですが、なんか一生懸命に楽しませてくれている感じでショーとして楽しめました。プレスリーのそっくりさんが、２階の最前列の前を歌いながら握手して回ってくれ、やっぱり「キャー」という雰囲気になりました。お子さんには向いているとは思いませんが、プレスリーやマイケルジャクソンを知る世代は楽しめると思います。

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and beautiful fish, but it was very cold, perhaps because of the overcast sky. Everyone borrowed wetsuits, but especially when coming out of the water, there were several people, including myself, shivering. They lend you blankets, but since they get wet and don't cover your whole body, I ended up wearing a windbreaker and wrapping myself in a towel and blanket, looking like a rice ball. Depending on the weather, I think people who are sensitive to the cold might enjoy it more in a warmer season. However, the local staff were high-energy throughout, cheering us on with songs and dances. There were also three small children participating, and they were attentive to ensure they weren't scared, which showed their professionalism.

After getting back on land, there was a hula lesson in a nearby open space, but personally, I didn't think it was necessary. Free hula lessons can be experienced in various places, so if they were going to take so much time for the hula lesson, I think it would have been more enjoyable to have a longer free time for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle surfing. Since there was only one kayak and one paddleboard, it seemed like each person could only ride for about five minutes within the short time frame.

One last thing: since it was overcast the whole time, I ended up getting sunburned because I didn't reapply sunscreen. Regardless of the weather, it's better to reapply it multiple times.

いるかにも亀にもきれいなお魚たちにもあえましたが、ずっと曇り空だったせいか寒くて寒くて…。全員ウエットスーツを借りていましたが、特に海からあがると、私を含めがたがたと震えている人が何人もいました。毛布を貸してくれますが、濡れるし体全体を包めるわけではないので、私はウィンドブレーカーを着てタオルと毛布をまきつけて、おむすび状態になっていました。天候によるでしょうが、寒がりの人はもう少し暖かい季節を選んだほうが楽しめるかと思います。ただ、現地のスタッフさんは終始ハイテンションで、歌や踊りで盛り上げてくれて、また、小さいお子さんが3人も参加していましたが、怖がらないように色々気を配っていて、プロ意識を感じました。陸にあがってから、少し離れた空き地でフラレッスンがありましたが、私的にはいらなかったかな。
無料のフラレッスンは結構いろんな場所で体験できるので、フラレッスンの時間をこんなにとるのなら、最後の自由時間（シュノーケル、カヤック、パドルサーフィン）をもっと長く取ってくれた方が楽しめたのではないかと思いました。カヤックもパドルサーフィンも１台ずつしかないので、短い時間内だと一人につき５分くらいしか乗れなかったようです。
最後にもう１つだけ。ずっと曇り空だったので、日焼け止めをつけなおししなかったらしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。天気に関係なく、何度も付け直しした方がよいですよ。

I participated on December 23rd. Since it was December, I thought I might not encounter any whales, but I was able to see whales several times, which was enjoyable.

12月23日に参加しました。12月なので、クジラに遭遇出来ないかも知れないと思っていましたが、何度かクジラを見ることが出来て楽しかったです。

After Pearl Harbor, the most exciting, educational and enjoyable site of our initial trip to Hawaii. Will do again and again each time we visit the Islands.

I was able to encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. I think I was quite lucky. The boat was clean and offered a lot of exotic charm during the cruise. Since it was a group snorkeling tour, I felt safe. We stopped at various points, and I felt secure leaving it to the captain. The boat rocked a bit, but I was able to enjoy meals and drinks without any issues. It was very interesting. I definitely want to participate in this tour again next time.

イルカ・ウミガメ・クジラすべてに遭遇できました。
かなりラッキーだったと思います。
船も清潔感ある、異国情緒たっぷりのクルージング。
団体でのシュノーケリングなので安心です。
ポイントポイントで停泊し、船長さんに任せておけば安心でした。
船の揺れもそこそこですが、普通に食事やドリンクを楽しめました。
とてもおもしろかったです。
次回も是非参加したいツアーでした。

I asked the newlywed couple for their address, but it didn't go through due to an error, so I'm uploading it here. Wishing you happiness!!

I took the photo with a zoom lens and sent it compressed, so it's a bit blurry, but if you would like the original photo data before compression, please let me know the address in the comments.

Kauai Island, the last stop after conquering Maui and Hawaii Island...

I knew it was rural, but there are hardly any traffic signals!

However, the stories from our guide, Mr. Abe, who is married to a second-generation Japanese American, were fascinating.

It's a mysterious island where Shabo chickens roam freely!

I recommend it for those who want to relax.

マウイ島、ハワイ島を制覇して最後に訪れたカウアイ島・・・

田舎とは分かっていましたが、やはり信号もほとんどありません！

でも日系二世に嫁いだガイドの阿部さんの話が面白かった。

シャボ種のニワトリが闊歩する不思議アイランドですね！

のんびりしたい人にはお勧めです。

I enjoyed a longer sailing time than I expected. The captain and the crew were cheerful, taking the boat slowly at times and speeding it up at others... I had a great time.

思ったよりも長いセーリング時間で堪能できました。
キャプテンも船員の方も陽気な方で、船をゆっくり運転したり飛ばしてくれたり…
とっても楽しめました。

The heavenly sea that I had wanted to visit!
I made a reservation after checking the time of low tide.
So, I was able to go when the seawater had completely receded!
However, it was disappointing that it was windy, cloudy, and cold.
Even though I think there's nothing I can do about that, I still had fun discovering sea turtles.

一度行ってみたかった天国の海！
干潮に時刻を確認した上で予約しました。
なので、完全に海水が引いてる時に行けました～！
ただ、風が強く曇っており、寒かったのが残念です。
こればっかりはしょうがないと思いつつも、ウミガメを発見したりと楽しかったです。

I participated alone, leaving my friend who is prone to seasickness behind. This tour is perfect for those who want to see sea turtles! If you wait, they come up to the surface for air, so even those who can't dive can see them up close. It's definitely better than the roped-off basking area at Laniakea Beach (laughs).

I read that they don't provide fins, so I brought my own. I didn't use them, but the floating stick that serves as a life jacket seemed a bit unreliable, so I think those who aren't confident in their swimming should wear a rash guard or bring a floatie for a more enjoyable experience.

There were only black fish, so you can't expect to see tropical fish while snorkeling. It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins during the cruising, but it was still a pleasant experience.

船酔いに弱いツレを置いて一人で参加しました。
ウミガメを見たい！って人にはもってこいのツアーです。
待っていれば息継ぎに海面まで上がってくるので潜れない人でも間近で見ることができます。ラニアケアビーチのロープ張られた甲羅干しより断然いいですよ(笑)
足ひれは貸してくれないとの書き込みがあったので持参しました。私は使いませんでしたが、ライフジャケット代わりの浮き棒は頼りなさそうだったので、泳ぎに自身のない人はラッシュガード着たり浮き輪を持っていったほうが安心して楽しめると思います。
魚は黒いのしかいなかったので、熱帯魚のシュノーケリング
は期待できないです。
クルージングではイルカを見ることができなかったので残念でしたが、気持ちよかったです。

It would have been perfect if there was a plan that included relaxing on the beach, as walking on a beautiful beach was not part of the plan.

The most impressive part was when they sang Christmas songs live on the boat with a guitar. This was an unexpected service.

Additionally, the staff provided perfect service, so I think Japanese guests would be very satisfied.

My partner didn't swim because it was too cold, so having a self-service hot drink option during the cruise would have been better for those who were cold. Also, it would be nice if they could lend out knee blankets or half blankets.

In short, it was just cold, but I'm glad the cruise didn't get canceled due to bad weather.

The commentary was provided in Japanese by Japanese staff, so I recommend it for Japanese guests.

I regret not requesting the Christmas song "O Come" during the guitar performance; they were really good at singing.

キレイなビーチで歩くというプランでなかったので、ビーチのんびりも入ったプランがあれば完璧。

一番印象にのこったのは、クリスマスソングをギターで生で船の上で歌ってくれたこと。これは想定外のｻｰﾋﾞｽでした。

あとはスタッフはすべて完璧なサービスでしたので、日本人には満足度が高いかと。

相棒が寒すぎて泳がなかったので、クルーズ中はホットドリンクのセルフｻｰﾋﾞｽがあれば寒い人にはもっとよかったかな。
あと、ひざ掛けブランケットやハーフ毛布みたいなものが貸し出し可能であれば、うれしい。

要は、寒かっただけのことですが、悪天候中止にならなくてよかったです。

解説も日本人が日本語でしてくれるために、日本人にはオススメです。

ギター演奏でO～comeのクリスマスソングリクエストすればよかったのが唯一の心残りでしょうか？歌上手かった。

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii for the water slides. There were more foreign families than Japanese visitors in the park. Sandals are allowed in the park! However, you have to take them off before going down the water slides, so going barefoot is probably the best option (＾＾) Everyone was barefoot.

All the water slides had a wait time of just under 10 minutes! However, it seemed like there were fewer staff, so not all the water slides were available, and there were set times for them. I think it would be more enjoyable if you check the schedule in advance.

There was also a wave pool! There were plenty of free inflatable rings available, so you could float around♪ The waves seemed to come more frequently and were higher than in Japan. Even when the waves were on, it wasn't too crowded, so we had a great time.

It was really fun, but it was a shame that the weather was cloudy... I think we could have enjoyed it even more if it had been sunny. After a while, we relaxed in the jacuzzi♪ By the way, there was a limit on the number of people in the jacuzzi, so it wasn't crowded!

ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイへはウォータースライダー目当てで行きました。
園内は日本人よりも外国人の家族連れが多かったです。
園内はサンダルＯＫ！でもウォータースライダー滑る前に脱がなければならないので裸足が一番かと（＾＾）みんな履いてませんでした。
全部のウォータースライダーが待ち時間10分弱！
ただ、スタッフ数が少ないのかウォータースライダー全てが利用できるわけではなく、時間が決まってました。
最初にスケジュールを把握しておいたほうが楽しめるかと思います。
また波のプールもありました！無料貸し出しの浮き輪がたくさんあるため、これを使ってプカプカ♪
波の出る時間は日本よりも多くまた高かった気がします。
波が出ても人が多くないので楽しめました。
すごく楽しかったけど天気が曇ってたのが残念・・・
晴れてたらもっともっと楽しめたと思います。
途中からはジャグジーでのんびりすごしました♪
ちなみにジャクジーは人数制限あるのでぎゅうぎゅうじゃなっかたです！

For those considering an easy marine activity, you can enjoy 90 minutes of sailing off the coast of Waikiki with your children. The boat is new, and the staff is friendly. It was unfortunate that we were the only Japanese guests on a fully booked day.

Departure and return are from Waikiki Beach, making access excellent. Wearing swimwear is recommended, but just make sure to wear something that can get wet. The danger level is extremely low. There are no issues with participation for seniors. Both my wife and I qualified for the senior discount. Once you experience it, you might become addicted. You'll definitely want to recommend it to others. Not understanding English is not a problem at all. Mahalo.

手軽なマリーンactivityをお考えの方お子様連れの方、90分ワイキキ沖のsailing楽しめます。　　船も新しい、stuffもfriendly。　当日満席、日本人は我々だけだったのが残念。

出航、帰着がワイキキビーチからなのでアクセス抜群。　swim wear着用が望ましいが、とりあえず濡れてもいい格好で乗船すること。　　危険度は極めて低い。　爺、婆の参加問題なし。我々夫婦共にsenior discount 対象。　
一度体験すると病み付きになりそう。　きっと他人にも薦めたくなる。　英語分からなくても全然問題なし。　mahalo　　　　　

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and a bit chilly. I would have liked more warm water.

Perhaps it was the off-peak season, but the attractions were not operating well. There were many attractions that are not available in Japan, which was great.

天気が悪く肌寒かったのが残念。温水が多いとうれしい。

閑散時期なのかアトラクション稼動が悪かったです。日本には無いアトラクションが多く良かった。

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

After departing by boat, we encountered dolphins almost immediately (around 20 minutes in?), and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. We put on floating devices like life jackets and jumped into the water, but it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim.

While battling seasickness from the boat and the waves after entering the water, we swam close to the dolphins several times (for about 30 minutes?), which was very hard, but it was incredibly moving to meet the dolphins in the sea. In my case, I was a bit far away, so unfortunately, I couldn't quite feel like I was swimming with them.

After that, we moved by boat to another spot to see sea turtles. We were able to swim close enough to touch the sea turtles if we reached out, making it a very satisfying tour.

Finally, I wanted to mention some highlights of this tour for those who are unsure about which tour to choose:
- Encountering dolphins and turtles
- Availability of restrooms
- Receiving a group photo for free (two photos via email)
- Being able to rent a wetsuit ($5)
- Having Japanese staff present
- All staff members were enthusiastic and supportive of the participants.

船で出発後、すぐに（20分ぐらい？）イルカと遭遇し、みんなあわてて海へ飛び込みました。
ライフジャケットのような水に浮くものを装着して海の中に飛び込みますが、泳げない人はちょっと厳しいかもしれません。。。
船上での酔いと海に入ってからの波での酔いと戦いながら、イルカの近くまで何度も泳いだので（30分ぐらい？）とてもハードでしたが、イルカと海の中で会えて、とても感動しました。
私の場合は少し距離があったので、残念ながら一緒に泳いだ感覚にはなれませんでしたが。。。
その後、別のポイントまで船で移動しウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメとは手を伸ばせば触れるぐらい近くを泳ぐことができ、大満足なツアーでした^^

最後に、このツアーは下記点がよかったです。どのツアーにしようか迷っている方に参考になればと思い記述します。
・イルカ・カメに出会えたこと
・トイレがあること
・集合写真を無料で頂けたこと（メールで２枚）
・ウエットスーツを借りれたこと（＄５）
・日本人スタッフがいたこと
・スタッフ全員が、参加者を盛り上げてくださったこと

On the day of our visit, there was a shuttle service to the hotel area, and we arrived at Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii in about 40 minutes. We had to wait for about five minutes since it was still before opening, but because it was a tour, we were able to enter without lining up at the ticket booth. As soon as we entered, we went to the reception to rent a locker, but the lockers were not in the changing room; they were available for either a group or an individual.

Although there were several water slides that we couldn't use, we were able to enjoy the park without waiting in line, and we conquered all the slides by the end of the morning! Compared to water slides in Japan, these were much more thrilling!!!

For lunch, we received lunch tickets as an apology for the slides we couldn't use. The meals were around $10 each and came with drinks, and the portions were so large that we couldn't finish them.

I went this time with my boyfriend, but I think it's highly recommended for friends and family as well. The wave pool has inner tubes and children's life jackets available, and chairs can be rented for free, which is a great help for your wallet.

Since there was also a shuttle service for the return trip, everyone on the bus was sleeping. It was a time when we could relax and then take action once we arrived back at the hotel, so I was very satisfied!

　当日はホテル付近までの送迎もあり、４０分程でウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイに到着しました。まだ開店前で５分ほど待ちましたが、ツアーなのでチケット売り場には並ばず入園することが出来ました。入園してすぐにロッカーを借りるため受付をするのですが、ロッカーは更衣室にはなく、一組もしくは個人で使う物がありました。
　園内のウオータースライダーはいくつか利用できませんでしたが、並ばずに遊ぶことが出来、午前中には全て制覇してしまいました♪
日本のウオータースライダーに比べ、とても迫力があります!!!
ランチは、いくつか利用出来ないスライダーのお詫びとしてランチチケットを頂いていたのですが、１セット１０ドル程度のものにドリンクがつき、残してしまうくらいのボリュームです。
　今回は彼と行きましたが、友人や家族の方にもとてもおすすめできると思います。波のプールには浮き輪や子ども用のライフジャケットも用意されてますし、いすも無料でレンタルできるので、お財布には助かります。
帰りも送迎が着いているので、バスの中は皆さん眠ってました。
疲れを取って、ホテルに着いたらそこから行動することも出来る時間帯だったので、とても満足させていただきました！
