All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We have been to this water park for the last 5 years in a row. We have four teens and they want to go each year. There are more rides now and the kids are occupied the entire time. We don't pay extra for the buffet because it is not really that enjoyable for teenagers. They prefer the hamburgers and fries that they can get whenever they want. The buffet is more multicultural and more formal. They do not have enough poolside chairs and alot of parents sit on the grass by the lazy river. The parents would float longer in the lazy river but there are not enough inner tubes and you have to get out of the lazy river after one turn around and get back in line. For parents in there 40's or even 50's that becomes tiresome. There is a hot tub for adults over 21 but it is not open the entire time. As far as the kids are concerned this place gets 5 ***** stars! They have a really great time and love it! If they love it then I want to take them:)

This may not be the best for younger kids but if they have any interest in the worlds history then this will be perfect. The memorial is breathtaking and a real tear jerker. I would recommend anyone visiting Oahu must see it. We had a mix up on the pickup location so we got on the bus about 30 minutes late but still made the memorial with plenty of time before our showing of the movie. The place is great and the stories behind it our sobering. The Mighty Mo is great for the whole family. Lots of cool things to touch and see. The tour continues with the downtown trip and punch bowl drive through. Both were well timed and needed after the long day of walking.

Enele was a great driver and full of knowledge. He also became our tour guide once we arrived at the cultural center. He took us around and explained the different cultures and his own culture (Samoa) in great detail. The food at the luau was great with the Kalua pork and Lomi Lomi being my favorite. Poi was actually not bad after all the bad things I heard about it. The entertainment during dinner was great. We even got on stage for a little dance. The show was incredible, portraying the AH of life. The fire dancers were awesome. Overall was a great experience and would recommend to everyone.

When I went before, it was Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. I was wondering if the essence remained the same even with the name change. However, the slides and attractions had changed, and it had become a park that my middle school-aged sons could enjoy. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Hawaii.

以前に行ったときは、
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャーパークでした。
名前は変わっても中身は一緒かなー？なんて思ってました。
でも、スライダーとかも変わっていて、中学生の息子達も
楽しめるくらいのパークになっていました。
また、ハワイに行くときは是非行きたいと思います。

Great trip.

I attended this snorkeling activity with my boyfriend (he had done it before and wanted to go again). Our tour guide on the bus was hysterical. So much fun and information was provided by him. I liked that he remained part of the experience by coming on the boat with us. The staffing was incredible as well. Tons of fun and very helpful. I was glad that they provided lunch as well. Quick and easy burgers, some fruit, sodas, etc. And of course, the snorkeling was beautiful! I would recommend it to anyone, of any age. If you can't swim, or haven't snorkeled, don't worry! They provide easy instructions to learn how to snorkel quickly, and they have both noodles and lifevests if you can't swim! You may even luck out and sight some sea turtles on your way to the reef!!! If you're considering this activity, go for it! You'll love it!

During our honeymoon trip to Oahu, we definitely wanted to visit Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. To sum up my impressions, I highly recommend it! We participated in an optional tour, and since there weren't too many people, we enjoyed our favorite attractions multiple times. One attraction we particularly liked was a seemingly simple pool that generates artificial waves. The waves are quite high, making it feel like a mini attraction, and we had a lot of fun.

One thing to keep in mind is that for slide-type attractions, you need to secure your own floaties or boogie boards at the bottom of the slide before climbing to the top. In Japan, it seems like staff would hand them out at the top, but if you forget, you'll have to go back down to get them.

新婚旅行でオアフ島へ訪問したときに是非これは行ってみたいということでウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイに行ってきました。
感想からいうと是非おすすめですよー。オプショナルツアーで参加したのですが、人もそんなに多くないので気に入ったアトラクションを何回も行きました。私達が気に入ったのは、一見地味ですが人工波が出るプールです。結構な高さの波が出てくるのでちょっとしたアトラクション級で楽しめますよ。
注意しておいた方がいいのが、スライダーのような滑る系アトラクションに必要となる浮き輪やビート板みたいな器具は各自滑り台の下で確保して頂上に登る仕組みみたいです。日本だと頂上で係の人が渡してくれそうですが、間違えるとまた麓まで取りに行くことになりますよ。

First of all, this tour has a high quality. Usually, expensive tours aimed at Japanese people always have a Japanese guide, but this tour does not. However, there is an excellent local guide who understands the Japanese spirit and provides detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all. I felt that this tour was thoroughly researched for Japanese participants.

Of course, regarding the important rendezvous with the dolphins, this was the closest encounter I've had on any tour so far, and it really felt like we were swimming together. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to meet dolphins. I was also impressed by the service that sends a group photo if you register your email (of course, for free).

　まず、このツアーはクオリティーが高いです。
通常は、日本人向けの値段の高いツアーには必ず、日本人ガイドがいるのですが、このツアーにはいません。
しかし、日本人の心を理解した優秀な現地ガイドさんがいまして、きめこまやかなガイドをしてくれるので、英語がチンプンカンプンでも全然オーケーです。
かなり、日本人向けに研究されているツアーと感じました。
　もちろん、肝心のイルカとランデブーですが、今までのツアーの中で一番の最接近で、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じがしました。
イルカと逢いたいツアーをお探しの方は、おすすめです。
Ｅメールを登録すると、集合写真を送ってくれる（もちろん、無料）サービスも、感心しました。

This is a very good way to get acquainted with the island. If you are staying on Kauai, it is a quick way to decide where you would like to spend more time. If you are flying in and out, it is an opportunity to see something other than the island where you are staying.

Def must do for the price offered. I went by myself and couldn't have had a more peaceful time to enjoy the view. The staff was great, 'Rabbit' is single btw and they offer great service. They offered to take pictures of me, played some music, offfered drinks as well. I couldnt have had a more delightful time.

I really liked the clean and refreshing interior. There was also an open-air space that looked very pleasant. Perhaps because the chef is Japanese, the service was attentive to even the smallest details. Every dish was very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied with the restaurant.

清潔感溢れる内装でとても気に入りました。
オープンエアのスペースもあり、
気持ちよさそうでした。
シェフが日本人ということもあるのか、細かいところにまで行き届いているサービスでした。
どの料理もとても美味しく大満足のお店でした。

The interior had a chic and calming atmosphere, which was very nice!
And the pasta is definitely a highlight! It was exquisite.
The chef is Japanese, and when I asked, he said he sources olive oil from Sicily.
The dishes are made with plenty of seasonal vegetables.
The cooking method really brings out the flavors of the ingredients.
It was incredibly delicious!

店内はシックで落ち着いた雰囲気でとても良かった！
そしてパスタがなんと言っても一押し！絶品でした。
シェフは日本人で話を伺ったところシチリアからオーリーブオイルを取り寄せてるそうです。
季節の野菜をふんだんに使ったお料理。
素材を生かした調理法さすがです。
すごく美味しかった！

The large bus shuttle made it easy to travel comfortably. The good thing about taking the time to go there was that there are various types of pools and attractions that can only be found here, allowing for water play suitable for different ages.

On the day we visited, both the lazy river and wave pool were too crowded, making it dangerous for small children (no outside floaties allowed, rentals available). Although I thought we could play quite a bit from 10:30 to 14:40, it felt busier than expected. I think once is probably enough.

大型バスの送迎でゆったり行き来は出来ました。
わざわざ時間を掛けて行って良かった点は
色々な種類のプールやここにしかないアトラクションがあるので年齢に応じて水遊びできる事位。

私達が行った日は流れるプールも波のプールも人が多すぎて
小さい子供は危険でした（浮き輪など持込禁止･レンタル有）
10:30~14:40まで結構遊べると思いきや思いのほか慌しい感じでした。
１度行けばいいかなという感じです。

We were blessed with the best weather, and it was said that the sandbar was quite shallow that day, which was lucky. We participated via Alan, and Captain Bruce took us to the best spot in the heavenly sea where we could swim with sea turtles. The pirate ship from Pirates of the Caribbean was also docked nearby, which was another stroke of luck.

最高のお天気に恵まれ、サンドバーもかなり浅めの日でラキーだと言われました。アランを経由しての参加でしたが、キャプテン・ブルースは天国の海の老舗で一番良い場所に陣取りウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできました。パイレーツオブカリビアンのロケの海賊船も近くに停泊中でこれもラッキーでした。

This time, there were no sandbars due to the high tide, but that's totally fine! The ocean was incredibly clear and beautiful, the staff were very friendly and made the atmosphere lively, and I had an amazing time. The BBQ was delicious too! I will definitely join again when I visit Hawaii.

今回は海水がとても多くサンドバーの出現はありませんでしたが、全然OK！
なぜなら、海はとっても透明でキレイし、スタッフの方もとても親切で場を盛り上げてくれるし、最高に楽しかったです。
BBQも美味しかったな~！
またハワイに訪れたときは参加します。

All the dishes were very delicious, but the pasta was especially tasty and we were very satisfied.

The restaurant had an atmosphere reminiscent of Shirokane and Daikanyama, yet it was very reasonable and had a casual feel. There were also Japanese staff, which made it reassuring for us, as we couldn't speak English, allowing us to enjoy our meal comfortably.

どのお料理も大変美味しくいただけましたが、
中でもパスタがとっても美味しく大満足でした。

店内は白金や代官山を思わせる雰囲気のレストランでしたが、とてもリーズナブルで気軽な感じでした。
日本人スタッフもいたので英語ができない私たちにとっては安心してお食事を楽しむことができました。

The store has a clean, glass-walled design.
The dishes are seasoned to suit Japanese tastes and were all very delicious.
The owner is Japanese, and the service was very attentive, allowing us to enjoy our meal comfortably.

ガラス張りの清潔感溢れるお店。
お料理は日本人好みのしっかりとした味付けで
どれもとても美味しかったです。
オーナーが日本人でサービスもとても行き届いており、
快適にお食事を楽しむことができました。

I participated in a secret sandbar exploration and snorkeling tour. Although the day I joined had a bit more clouds and strong winds, I didn't mind the boat's rocking at all. I can't forget the sight of a sea turtle popping its head out of the water. In the coral sea, I encountered many fish, and at the sandbar, not only was the beauty stunning, but I also felt a true sense of oneness with nature, being right in the middle of the ocean with my family. The staff were kind and attentive, and I definitely want to participate again, no, I want to join many more times. Thank you very much!

秘密のサンドバー散策＆シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。参加した日はちょっと雲が多めで風が強いということでしたが、船の揺れはまったく気になりませんでした。泳いでいる姿ばかりではなく、ヒョコッと顔を水面から出した海亀の姿が忘れられません。サンゴの海では多くの魚達と出会い、サンドバーではその美しさはもちろんですが、海のど真ん中に自分と家族が居るという、まさに自然と一体化した気分を味わうことができました。スタッフの方々も親切、丁寧で、是非もう一度、いえいえ何度でも参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました。

I participated on July 29, 2010. This was my third time on the tour, but this time I joined by myself (with a rental car). It's always a lot of fun every year. The pool has many attractions, and there's hardly enough time to enjoy everything in the park. All the attractions are thrilling and enjoyable, but my kids seem to like the wave pool the most.

It's a bit far from downtown Honolulu, but it's about a 35-minute drive if you have a rental car.

Bringing food and drinks is prohibited (there's a bag check at the entrance), but you can bring bottled water. However, I noticed that the locals were secretly bringing in Spam musubi.

The rental lockers come in both large and small sizes, so it's best to minimize your belongings. Also, the number of floaties at each attraction was limited, so we ended up renting some for an additional fee.

There aren't any attractions that require a rash guard, so it's fine to wear just a swimsuit and beach sandals in the park. However, for sun protection, having a rash guard might be better later on.

You’ll be barefoot on the stairs and while waiting in line, so your feet might get hot or hurt.

There’s also a kids' pool area, so families can enjoy it together.

I haven't experienced the meal option, so I can't comment on the taste, but you can purchase meals separately for around $10 (there was a new fried rice option on the menu, but it wasn't very good).

I highly recommend this optional tour. Please give it a try!

２０１０年７月２９日参加しました
３回目のツアー参加ですが、今回は自力で（レンタカーで）の参加でした
毎年とても楽しいです
プールにはたくさんのアトラクションがあり園内の時間が足りないくらいです
どのアトラクションもスリルがあって楽しいですが、うちの子供たちは波の出るプールが一番好きなようです

ホノルル市街からは少し離れていますが、レンタカーであれば３５分程度です

飲食物の持ち込みは禁止（入口で荷物検査があります）ですが、ペットボトルの水のみ持込み可です
地元の人たちは内緒でスパムむすびを持ち込んでいましたけどね

レンタルロッカーは大でも小さいので、荷物は最小限にした方がいいです
また、各アトラクションでは浮き輪の数が減っていましたので、ウチでは別料金で借りちゃいました

ラッシュガードが必要なほどハードなアトラクションはありませんので、園内は水着とビーチサンダルで大丈夫です
ただ日焼けの点ではラッシュガードがあったほうがあとでよいかも

階段や順番待ちの際は裸足になるので足の裏が痛かったり暑かったりします

子供用のプールエリアもありますので、家族で楽しめます

食事付きは体験したことないので味はわかりませんが、別に１０ドル前後で食事は購入できます（メニューにチャーハンが新しく加わっていましたが味はいまいちでした）

とってもオススメのオプショナルツアーです
ぜひ一度参加してみてください

When we went, the white sandy beach didn't appear (＞＜) It was about knee-deep... But standing in the middle of the sea felt quite strange.

Also, since we always travel as a couple, my husband was our photographer, so we had fewer photos of the two of us. However, the staff were very skilled at taking pictures and taught us various poses, so we ended up with a lot of great photos!! We even used one for our New Year's card!!

Thank you very much.

私たちが行ったときは、白い砂浜は、現れませんでした（＞＜）
ひざ下位・・・
でも、海のど真ん中の立つのは、なんか不思議な気がしました。

又、私たちは、いつも夫婦で旅行に行くので、カメラマンは、夫で、2人の写真が少なかったのですが、スタッフの方が、とても写真を撮るのが上手で、色々なポーズを教えてくれたりで、沢山良い写真が撮れました！！
年賀状の写真にしちゃいました！！

ありがとうございました。

This was a very unique place. It was beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. The night show was the best show I have ever seen. My recommendation is to get the ambassodor package so that you have a guide. It is very crowded and somewhat hard to navigate around so having a guide is definitely worth the extra money. Food wasn't that great but was the same as other luaus in the area. Overall it's a must see!

Walking in the middle of the ocean is a rare experience. The guide was supposed to be "English only," but on the day I participated, there was a Japanese guide on board after we got on the boat. Even though it was "English only," since the tour mainly involves getting on a bus, transferring to a boat, and entering the ocean, I think it's not too concerning even if you're not confident in your English skills.

It seemed that the sandbar was an island in the morning, but by the time we arrived, the tide was only up to our ankles. For those who are particular about landing on the island, it might be a good idea to check the tide levels before going. I recommend searching for tide level websites using keywords like "Oahu tide."

At the sandbar, you can enjoy activities like playing volleyball or practicing snorkeling at your leisure. My husband, who can't swim, seemed to gain confidence practicing snorkeling there. While we were having fun, the staff called out to each group, saying, "I'll take your picture!"

At the sea turtle point, dozens of turtles showed their faces. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was the best. Next time, I definitely want to participate again, aiming for low tide.

海の真ん中を散歩するなんてことは、なかなか体験できません。
ガイドは「英語のみ」となっていましたが、私が参加した日は船に乗ってからは日本語のガイドさんが案内してくれました。
「英語のみ」でも、バスに乗って船に乗り換えて海に入るだけなんですから、英語に自信がなくともさほど心配がないツアーの内容ではないかと思います。
サンドバーは午前中は島になっていたようでしたが、私たちが到着した頃は足首位の潮位でした。島への上陸にこだわる方は、潮位を調べてから行くと良いのではないか、と思います。「oahu tide」などのキーワードで潮位を調べるサイトを検索すると良いと思います。
サンドバーではバレーボールやシュノーケリングの練習など、好きに過ごすことが出来ます。
泳げない主人はここでシュノーケリングの練習をして自信をつけたようです。
遊んでいるときに、スタッフさんが「写真をとってあげるよ~」とそれぞれのグループに声を掛けていました。
海ガメポイントでは、何十匹ものカメが顔を見せてくれました。
船上で食べるチーズバーガーは最高です。
今度は干潮の時間帯を狙ってぜひまた参加したいです。

I thought my stay might be too short, but I was able to experience all the slides and bodyboarding. The meals are served buffet-style, and you can eat freely within the designated time. I think the items for sale are cheaper, but there were long lines, which made it take a while to purchase. (You show your wristband at the same store to get drinks, but it took so long that I ended up only getting them once during my stay.) If you're moving within a short time frame, I think a lunch-inclusive tour would be more efficient. The area is smaller than I expected, but considering the wait times for slides at a certain famous pool in Japan, the wait for the slides here is shorter. I was glad I participated, more than I had anticipated before going. Depending on the weather, the wait times for the slides can make the soles of your feet quite hot. If you have sandals or beach shoes that can be securely fastened around your ankles, you can ride the slides without taking them off, so I recommend this for those planning to go.

滞在時間が短いかな・・・と思いましたが、とりあえず全部のスライダーとボディーボード体験ができました。
食事はブッフェ形式で、決められた時間内に自由に食べられます。販売されているものの方が安いと思いますが、すごく並んでいて購入まで時間がかかりました。
（同じお店でリストバンドを見せてドリンクを貰うのですが、とにかく時間がかかるため、結局滞在中１回しか貰いませんでした。）
短い時間内で動くのであればランチつきツアーの方が効率的だとおもいました。
敷地は思っていたよりも狭いですが、日本の某有名プールのスライダーを待つ事を考えれば、スライダーの待ち時間も短いです。
行く前に予想していたより、参加してよかったと思いました。
天候にもよりますが、スライダーの待ち時間に足の裏がかなり暑くなります。足首にしっかり固定出来てはずれないサンダルやビーチシューズだと途中で脱がずにスライダーに乗れますので、これから出かける方にはお勧めします。

? Shuttle Service
I stayed at the Ilikai Hotel, and the shuttle service was provided by the neighboring Prince. The pickup was scheduled for 8:50 AM for a 10:30 AM opening, which was a bit early. However, the shuttle only goes directly to the location from the Prince and Hilton. We arrived around 9:40 AM and waited at the gate until opening. For the return trip, since the Prince was the first hotel, we arrived in about 30 minutes. It was nice to return quickly. The guide spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

? Attractions
Since it was Saturday, it was quite crowded. We lined up before opening and managed to get a shaded chair bed in front of the wave pool. The shaded spots disappeared in no time. The attractions were thrilling, with intense waves that almost made my small 8-year-old child drown. The popular multi-person slide gets crowded, so it might be best to go right after opening.

? Meals
Only water is allowed to be brought in. Everything else must be purchased on-site. However, by lunchtime, the shops were extremely crowded. We bought a plate from the less busy barbecue area for $10. It was enough to satisfy three family members, as the portion sizes are generous in Hawaii. The taste was good.

? Overall Impression
Overall, it was a fun experience with a level of excitement not found in Japan. I would like to go again if I have the opportunity.

？送迎について
イリカイホテルにとまり送迎はとなりのプリンスでした。
10時半オープンに対してホノルルの西側からピックアップするようで待ち合わせは8時50分。
ちょっと少し早いのが難点。
しかしながら送迎はプリンスとヒルトンのみでそのまま現地に直行。
到着は9時40分ごろ。そこからオープンまでゲートで待ちました。
帰りはプリンスが始めのホテルなので30分ほどで到着。
帰りは早くてよかったです。
ガイドさんは日本語も喋れる方でしたので安心です。

？アトラクションについて
土曜日だったので結構混んでいました。
オープン前から並んだので、波のプール前の屋根つきのチェアーベットをゲット。
あっというまに日陰席はなくなりました。
アトラクションは豪快。波は激しい波で、8歳児で小柄なわが子はおぼれる寸前。
人気の複数人が乗れるスライダーは混むので、まずオープン直後に行くのがいいかもしれません。

？食事
持ち込み可能なのは水のみ。
あとは現地で購入。
しかし昼になると売店は大混雑。われわれは空いていたバーベキューコーナーのプレート（$10）を購入。
ハワイ量なのでひとつで家族３人のおなかを満たしました。
味はおいしかったです。

？感想
総合して日本にはない豪快さで楽しかったです。
また機会があればいきたいと思います。

It was a store that exuded a sense of luxury, but there were also Japanese staff, so it didn't feel stiff at all, and I was able to enjoy dinner casually. I was seated on the terrace, and the breeze was pleasantly refreshing. The food was also very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied!

高級感漂うお店でしたが、日本スタッフもいて、
肩を凝るといった感じはなく気軽に
ディナーを楽しめました。
テラス席だったのですが、風が心地良く吹き良い感じでした。
お料理もとってもおいしく大満足！

The glass exterior and stylish interior! The atmosphere was very nice. The seasoning was to the liking of Japanese people and it was very delicious. The owner and chef were also Japanese, and they were very attentive, allowing us to enjoy our meal.

ガラス張りの外観にスタイリッシュな店内！
雰囲気がとても良かったです。
日本人好みの味付けでとても美味しかったです。
オーナーやシェフも日本人の方の用で気配りがしかっりとしていてお食事を楽しむことができました。

I participated in the afternoon tour. The tide was high, and it was quite a challenge to walk on the sandbar. The barbecue lunch was delicious. They provided us with wetsuits, so I wasn't cold, but those who weren't wearing them looked chilly.

午後のツアーに参加しました。潮が満ちて、サンドバーを歩くのもアップアップでした。バーベキュウランチは、美味しかったです。ウエットスーツを貸していただいたので寒くありませんでしたが、着ていない人は寒そうでした。

Excellent Tour. Our guide, Leo C., was very entertaining and informative.

We went with children, and both kids and adults had a great time. If you don't go early, you won't be able to get beach chairs, but there was space to spread out blankets and such. However, there is limited shade.

子供連れで行きましたが、子供も大人もとても楽しめました。早めに行かないとビーチチェアがとれませんが、シートなどを広げるスペースはありました。ただ、日陰が少ないです。

I participated on the morning of July 14th. A stunning sandbar appeared in the midst of a deep blue sky, pure white clouds, and the ever-changing blue ocean! It was a beautiful scene unlike anything I had ever seen before, making me question whether it was a dream or reality. It was a miraculous landscape created over many years. I was thrilled to see the honu (sea turtles) up close and had an amazing time. The malasadas were also very delicious.

7/14午前に参加しました。真っ青な空、真っ白な雲と変化するたくさんの青の海の中にサンドバーが見事に出現！！今まで自分が見たことのない、夢なのか現実なのかわからないような美しい景色が広がりました。長い年月の中から生み出された奇跡の風景です。ホヌもまじかに見ることができて大感激の時間を過ごしました。マラサダもとてもおいしかったです。
