Oahu
I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.
The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.
I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.
祖父母と親子の5人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。
ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー&ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。
あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。
A 90 min sailing with a small catamaran sometimes tipped by the waves, a fun crew (you tip them) and a great view of Honolulu and Diamond Head. Well worth the money, plus your Keiki go for free and the crew is experienced to handle them.
Be there in time as it slightly changes docking site on the beach according to the tide. Also, be prepared to get wet. If you arrive too early, start your adventure with a great MaiTai in the Outrigger bar for just $3.50 (till 5 pm).
We would recommend the Polynesian cultural center for many reasons. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great fun to be so immersed in the cultures presented...dancing in Tahiti, singing and playing music in Fiji to name just a couple. The luau was a great opportunity to see the many different forms of hula dancing, and the food was great and plentiful.
In short, the Polynesian Cultural Center should not be missed!
I think overall the package was the best and most unique experience I have ever enjoyed but I think the Dinner timings werent quite right and could be delayed a bit and also the staff were kinda urgent towards the end of buffet timings that we really couldnt enjoy the Dinner all the way till dessert. That kinda impacted me not to give 5 Star for it. And believe me you need the whole full day to cover PCC and half day wont do justice for this unique experience.
I initially booked this event for my ten- and seven-year-old grandkids. However, it turned out to be a terrific day for all three generations. The friendly crew of the Barefoot I made us feel welcome from the time we arrived at the dock. It was a very windy day, but, the catamaran was steady. The energetic, enthusiastic and entertaining crew covered the basics of snorkeling and equipment during our ten-minute cruise to the submerged sandbar in the middle of beautiful Kaneohe Bay. The sandbar stop was the perfect opportunity for first time snorkelers to practice in a comfortable environment and the waist-deep volleyball was a real hoot! The crew grilled our burgers and served lunch at the sandbar. Much to our surprise and delight our cruise director, Jenner, serenaded us with voice and guitar while we ate. During the ten minute sail to the snorkel site we saw a dozen or so green sea turtles. The beautiful coral reef was in a very isolated area in crystal clear waters. The area was teem
I had signed up for a different tour last time, but we ended up chasing dolphins in the bay, with phrases like, "Hey, chase them! They're over there! Look, over there!" and ultimately, we couldn't see them underwater. I thought to myself, "It's wild after all," when I saw the photos of people swimming with dolphins, thinking this was a rare case. However, to my surprise, I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming underwater from above and the side, just like in the photos. I believe this was largely thanks to the instructors. They carefully guided us by saying, "Come over here! Look ahead, look down!" to show us where the dolphins were.
On the boat, the captain, who somewhat resembled Gary Sinise (which reminded me of Forrest Gump), along with the staff, performed hula and played the ukulele! Even when they were distributing the hamburgers for lunch, they always created a cheerful atmosphere that made the guests feel a sense of unity. The staff, especially one who resembled the cheerful enka singer Jero, helped create a relaxed feeling.
The only downside was that there was a family with a child around three years old, and at first, the child was crying loudly, which scared the dolphins away. I hope participants consider the age of their children when joining.
前回別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカがいる湾内で、”ほれ、追いかけろ!あそこにいるぞ!ほれ!あっちだ”みたいな感じで、ひたすらイルカを追いかけて、結局水中では見られませんでした。やはり野生だからね~~と、こちらの一緒にイルカと泳ぐ写真をみたときも、こういうのはまれなケースだよと思っていましたが、なんと、写真と同じ、群れをなして泳ぐイルカを水中で上から、横から見ることができました。それはインストラクターのスタッフのお陰によるところが大きいと思います。”こっちきて!前見て、下見て”とイルカがどこにいるか、丁寧に誘導してくれます。また、船上では、どことなくケーリー・シニーズに似た船長(なので、フォレストガンプを思い出しました)とスタッフによるフラや、ウクレレ演奏!そして昼食のハンバーガーを配るときもいつも陽気にお客さんに一体感を感じさせる演出をしてくれます。親切で陽気な演歌歌手ジェロ似のスタッフを始め、リラックスした気持ちにさせてくれます。
ただ残念だったのは、3歳くらいの子供を連れた親子がいたのですが、最初子供が泣き叫び、その声でイルカが逃げて行ってしまいました。参加する人も子供の年齢を考えてほしいものです。
We had a good time, only downside is there isnt enough water fountains around the center because it got really hot.Dinner was really good except we didnt get to see the pig come out of the oven. the Night show was good. I probably wont come back here next time I visit hawaii. It seemed kinda too touristy.
There are few participants from Japan, and Japanese is not widely understood, but it's incredibly fun. The crew is all nice guys, and sailing feels great. I want to use this again on my next trip.
日本の参加者は少ないし、日本語はあまり通じないですけど最高に楽しいです。
クルーはナイスガイばかりだし、セーリングはとても気持ちがいいです。
また次回の旅行でも利用したいです。
A long day, but well worth it! Even the bus ride was good. This was the best luau experience we had, easily beating out the one offered by NCL on Kaua'i, which was very good. It was a hot day, and the line for shaved ice was long, but that is the only negative. All of the cultural shows we saw were excellent and there were even pre-shows for those who arrived early. The food was good (along with another show), and the main show at the end (Ha, Breath of Life) was outstanding.
If you are looking for an intimate on-the-beach luau, this is not it. The PCC provides a first-rate experience for thousands of people, and does so with minimal delays and great views from any seating location. I am so glad we went. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip.
We participated as a family of four. Since it was the morning session, as soon as we set sail, we were served malasadas. We checked the tide schedule in advance, so we were able to land perfectly on the sandbar. The sandbar has no shade, so be sure not to forget sunscreen. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling. We were told there were sea turtles, but since they weren't near me, I couldn't encounter them. However, I was able to see them while on the boat. The staff were also fun and friendly, which was great.
家族4人で参加しました。午前の部なので、出航するとすぐにマラサダがでました。サンドバーは、事前に潮の満ち引きも調べて参加したので、ばっちりサンドバーに上陸することができました。サンドバーは、日陰がないので、必ず日焼け止めを忘れないように。それから、シュノーケーリングを楽しみました。ウミカメがいるよといわれましたが、自分の近くでなかったため、遭遇することができませんでした。
しかし、船に乗っているときに見ることができました。
スタッフも楽しい方たちで良かったです。
Although the weather was unfortunately rainy and windy in the morning, the breathtaking scenery of the sandbar felt like something out of this world (laughs). When the sun occasionally peeked through, it was just like being in a bath salt paradise!!!
And, believe it or not, you can smoke on the sandbar!!!! Just make sure not to litter~~!
The staff were all very friendly, and there was a nice mix of Japanese and foreign guests, creating a warm atmosphere. The cheeseburger for lunch was truly delicious, and even I, who usually gets seasick (though I did take some motion sickness medication), was fine. They also provide fins for snorkeling, so you can dive as much as you want!!!!
Before I knew it, it was already time to wrap up.
Moreover, the relaxed vibe of "feel free to join if you want~ or take a break if you need~" was fantastic. Plus, since I’m currently doing hula in Japan and the song was "KANEOHE," it really boosted my mood. I highly recommend it.
朝から雨&風が強いあいにくの天気でしたが、やはりサンドバーのこの世とも思えない(笑)景色は最高でした。
たまに太陽が差すと、まんまバスクリンの世界!!!
そして、、、、なんと、、、、、
サンドバーでタバコが吸えます!!!!ゴミは捨てちゃだめですよ~~~!
スタッフはみんな親切な方ばっかりで、日本人と外国の方半々くらいでしたが和気あいあいとしてました。
お昼のチーズバーガーは、本当においしかったし、船酔いしやすい私も大丈夫でしたし(一応酔い止めは飲みましたが)シュノーケルはフィンも貸出してくれるので、素潜りしたい放題!!!!
あっという間に終わりの時間になってしまいました。
しかも、いきたかったらどうぞ~やすむならどうぞ~的なゆるい空気は、最高でした。
しかも、いま日本でフラをしていて曲がKANEOHEだったのでなおさら気分が盛り上がりました。
おすすめです。
I participated in the morning session of the honeymoon tour. The staff were very friendly, and there was a sisterly vibe with someone who could speak Japanese!
First, we went sea turtle watching, and so many honu showed up, plus a manta ray made an appearance! I was so moved to capture it all on camera.
At the sandbar, unfortunately, we couldn't fully enjoy the sandy beach, but the water was shallow enough to my ankles, and I couldn't help but have fun! We took about 3-4 photos, and they helped create some great shots!
Compared to similar tours, the snorkeling here didn't require wearing life jackets, which made it feel very free and enjoyable. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious too! This was definitely a tour I would love to join again! Thank you very much! (*´ω`*)
午前中の早い時間をハネムーンで参加しました。
スタッフはとても気さくで日本語も話せるアネゴ肌のお姉ちゃん!
まずは海亀ウォチングですが、あんなにたくさんホヌちゃんたちが現れてくれて、さらにマンタまで登場!カメラにもしっかり収められて感動♪
サンドバーでは砂浜は残念ながら満喫出来ませんでしたが、足首程度の深さで思わずはしゃいでしまいました♪3~4枚写真撮影してもらいベストショットを演出してもらいました!
同様のツアーに比べてこちらでのシュノーケリングはライフジャケットの着用を強制しないので、自由な感じがとてもよかったです。
朝食のサンドイッチもおいしかったです!また是非参加したいと思うツアーでした!有難うございました(*´ω`*)
This was a great tour.
I saw a lot of sea turtles and manta rays! I also enjoyed snorkeling at the sandbar, feeling the wonder of standing offshore. The guides and crew were friendly and attentive, which made the time feel very short. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate!
ウミガメやマンタ、たくさん見ました!サンドバーも、沖合に自分が立っている不思議を感じながらシュノーケリングしたり、楽しかったです。
ガイドやクルーも気さくに、それでいて細やかな心遣いのおかげで、とても時間が短く感じたほどでした。またHAWAIIに行ったら、是非参加したいです!
We loved the food...So delicious....the sunset was so nice and romantic....crabs were all you can eat....
I participated on June 21, 2010.
This is my second time joining the tour, following last year.
It's always a lot of fun!
The pool has many attractions, and there’s hardly enough time to enjoy everything in the park.
Every attraction is thrilling and enjoyable.
It's a bit far from downtown Honolulu, but it's convenient because they pick you up at the hotel.
Bringing food and drinks is prohibited (there's a bag check at the entrance), but you can bring bottled water.
While there are free drinks available, they only offer soda, so I think it's a good idea to bring your own water.
The rental lockers are small, so it's best to keep your belongings to a minimum.
There aren't any attractions that require a rash guard, so you can get by with just a swimsuit and beach sandals in the park, but you have to take off your sandals when riding the attractions.
You’ll be barefoot while going up stairs or waiting in line, which can be painful or hot on your feet.
Having marine boots is convenient because you can wear them on the attractions.
There’s a pool area for kids as well as an adult area (which has an additional fee, but you can drink alcohol), so families can enjoy it together.
The all-you-can-eat meal at Big Splash was tastier than last year.
I highly recommend this optional tour.
Please consider participating at least once!
2010年6月21日参加です
去年に続いて2回目のツアー参加です
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
ホノルル市街からは少し離れていますが、ホテルでピックアップしてもらえるので便利です
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
フリードリンクですが、ソーダー類しかないので水を持って行くと良いと思います
レンタルロッカーは小さいので、荷物は最小限にした方がいいです
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が、
アトラクションに乗るときはビーチサンダルは脱がないといけません
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
マリンブーツがあると履いたままアトラクションに乗ることができるので便利です
子供用のプールエリアも大人用のエリア(別料金ですが、アルコールも飲めます)もありますので、家族で楽しめます
ビックスプラッシュについている食べ放題の食事は去年よりもおいしくなっていました。
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
I rode all the thrilling slides. I started with the slide near the entrance first thing in the morning, and it was not crowded. They look scary, but in reality, they aren't that frightening, and the splashes of water were fun. They say the area is the size of three Tokyo Domes, but it doesn't feel that spacious. I left my towel in the locker, and it was fine to move around hands-free.
絶叫系スライダーも全部乗りました
朝一番に入口近くのスライダ―から順番に乗って
いくと空いています
見た目怖そうですが 実際は怖い感じはあまりなく
水しぶきが楽しかったです。
東京ドーム3個分の敷地といいますが
実際はそれほど広く感じません。
タオルはロッカーに入れっぱなしで手ぶらで
行動しても大丈夫でした。
The bodyboard lesson was conducted in a private wave pool. However, the instruction mainly consisted of gestures on how to hold the board, with no lectures on how to ride the waves, leaving most participants just swaying in the water. For those who can't ride the waves on their own, the instructor will give you a good push at the right moment, allowing you to experience the feeling of bodyboarding. The BBQ was in a buffet style, and to be honest, it wasn't anything special. The items sold at the shop looked more delicious.
ボディーボードレッスンは波のプールを貸し切って
レッスンしてくれました。
しかし、レッスンといっても ボードの持ち方を
ジェスチャーで教えてくれただけで波ののり方などの
レクチャーはなく、ただ波に揺られているだけという人が
ほとんどです。自分で波に乗れない人は
先生のところに行くといいタイミングで押してくれるので
ボディーボード気分が味わえますよ。
BBQはブッフェ形式で、正直たいしたものではありません。
売店で売っているものの方が美味しそうでした。
I used this tour on June 15th. As soon as I headed to the pickup location, a staff member in a blue T-shirt assisted me. The pickup time was 9:30 AM and the park opening time was 10:30 AM, but we arrived at the park around 10:00 AM. After waiting for the park to open, we entered right at opening time and first rented a locker. The lockers were surprisingly expensive. I believe there were small and large sizes, with the small one costing $12 and the large one $17. Both sizes return $5 when you return the key along with the receipt, but it's still pricey. The small locker is really small, so it feels tight for more than two pieces of luggage. I didn't check the large one. The ground inside the park gets hot as it's concrete, so I recommend wearing flip-flops. When experiencing the slides, you need to pick up the inner tubes or boats at the exit of each slide. You have to carry quite heavy items to the entrance. I think the SHAKA was the heaviest? Since it was a Monday, the park was less crowded, and the lifeguards were rotating their positions at the slides, so there were some that we couldn't experience right away. They closed for about 30 minutes at a time. I participated in the deluxe plan, but honestly, I felt that lunch wasn't necessary. It's not that it was bad, but since we arrived in Waikiki around 4 PM, it might be better to have a light meal as a snack from there to prepare for the evening. With the park opening at 10:30 AM and leaving by 2:45 PM, it might feel short, but the park itself isn't that large, so we had plenty of fun. On the contrary, I felt that the price was a bit high for the scale. Still, there are slides of a scale that you can't find in Japan, so it might be worth visiting, not just for the beach. I had a great time.
6月15日にこのツアーを利用しました。ピックアップ場所に向かうとすぐ青いTシャツスタッフの方が対応してくれました。ピックアップ時間が9時30分で開園時間は10時30分でしたがパークには10時位には到着してしまいました。開園待ち後オープンと同時に入場し、まずロッカーを借ります。ロッカーが意外に高いです。確か大きさが小と大があって小が12$、大が17$だった気がします。いずれも鍵を返すときレシートと引き換えに5$返ってきますがそれでも高いです。小はホントに小さいロッカーですので荷物2つ以上はキツイ気がします。大は見ていなかったのでわかりません。パーク内の地面はコンクリートで熱くなりますのでビーチサンダルの着用をオススメいたします。スライダーを体験する時は各スライダーの出口で浮き輪やボートをピックアップしていくのもあります。中々重いのを担いで入り口いかなくてはなりません。SHAKAが一番重かったかな?この日は月曜なので空いているためかライフガードがスライダーの持ち場をローテションしていてすぐには体験出来ないのがありました。30分
間隔ぐらいで一度クローズしていました。デラックスプランでの参加でしたが正直、昼食は要らない気がしました。不味いとかではなく4時くらいにはもうワイキキに着いてしまうので、そこからオヤツがてら軽く食事をして夜に備えるのもいいかもしれません。10時半オープンで2時45分にはパークを出るので短いと感じるかもしれませんが、そこまでパーク自体が広くないので十分楽しめました。逆に規模に対して金額が少し高く感じました。それでも日本には無いようなスケールのスライダーもありますのでビーチだけではなく一度訪れるのもいいかもしれません。楽しかったです。
I previously participated in this tour and had a great time, so I joined again this time. During the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, I was able to see many sea turtles. Unfortunately, the sandbar had a high water level this time, so it wasn't visible, but the scenery was beautiful and amazing. The snorkeling seemed to have fewer fish... The BBQ on the boat was also fantastic! The meat was really delicious. There were nearly 50 participants this time, and the boat was quite crowded, plus while snorkeling, I often bumped into others, which made it a bit uncomfortable. I hope they consider limiting the number of participants per session a bit more.
以前このツアーに参加してとてもよかったので、今回また参加しました。
午後のBBQランチ付きの回でたくさんのウミガメを見ることができました。
残念ながら今回はサンドバーはかなり水位が高くて海面が出てなかったですが景色はキレイで最高でした。
シュノーケリングは魚がちょっと少なかったような・・・。
船の上で食べるBBQも最高!お肉かなりおいしいです。
今回参加者が50人近くいて、ボートがぎゅうぎゅうだったのとシュノーケリングも泳いでて人とぶつかることが多く気を使いながらという感じだったので1回の参加人数に制限をかけるなどもう少し考えてほしいと思います。
I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!
Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!
Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT
This is my third time participating.
It has become a tradition to have this made every year on the way back.
I’m really happy that I can see the memories of this trip right after returning, accompanied by Hawaiian music.
Since coming back, my children and I have been watching it almost every day.
I want to cherish these memories with this DVD until I go to Hawaii again next year!
今回で3回目の参加になります。
毎年 帰りにこれを作って頂くのが 恒例に なってしまいました。
ハワイアンの音楽に会わせ 今回の旅行の 思いでが 帰ってすぐにみれるので とっても うれしいです。
また 帰ってきてから 子供と一緒に 毎日のように 見ています。
また 来年ハワイにいくときまで このDVDで 思い出にひたりたいです!
I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my two children, aged 8 and 4. The blue sky and blue sea were incredibly refreshing. As soon as we boarded, the captain pointed and said "Honu!" and there was a sea turtle. The kids lay on the net, looking into the water to see what else they could spot. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. The captain and staff were very friendly, speaking to the kids in simple Japanese and even taking them to the cockpit for photos, which was a lot of fun. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.
60歳の母と私 8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。
青い空 青い海 す~っごく気持ちよかったです。 乗ってすぐ キャプテンが ホヌ!と指をさす方向に ウミガメがいました。 子供達も 他に 何がみえるか ネットにねっころがり ずっと 海のなかをみてました。が 残念ながら イルカなどには 会えませんでした。 キャプテンやスタッフの方は とても フレンドリーで かたことの日本語で 子供に話しかけてくれたり 操縦席に連れて行って写真をとらせてくれたりと とても 楽しかったです。 また 機会があれば 参加したいです。
This was my first time visiting. A large tour bus picked us up, and we arrived at the location! I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my 8-year-old and 4-year-old children, making a group of four.
There were so many things we wanted to do, but time flew by, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer. My 8-year-old loved the wave pool and wouldn’t leave it. The waves were incredible, far beyond what you find in Japanese wave pools. The next day, for some reason, my mother and I both had muscle soreness! The bodyboarding lesson was also a lot of fun. It was our first attempt, but the staff member helped us ride the waves skillfully, and we were very satisfied.
The lunch buffet had a modest variety and selection, but the meat was cooked medium, tender, and very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time.
However, there were some people who were over 30 minutes late for the return bus, which was very inconvenient. They ended up being left behind, but I wish they would consider that there are others waiting in the hot bus who arrived on time and had to wait for more than 30 minutes.
今回はじめて 行ってきました。大きな観光バスでお迎えがきて 現地到着!60歳の母と8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。
とにかくたくさんやりたいことがあるのですが あっという間に時間になってしまい もうちょっと長くいれたらな~ なんて思いました。8歳の子は波のプールが気に入ってしまい そこからはなれませんでした。とにかく すごい波 日本の波のプールはめじゃないです。次の日 なぜか 母と二人 筋肉痛になっていました! ボディーボードレッスンもとっても楽しかったです。私も8歳の息子も 初挑戦でしたが スタッフのお兄さんに 上手に波に載せてもらい 大満足でした。 お昼のビュッフェも 品数 種類は 質素な感じでしたが お肉は ミディアムで 柔らかく とてもおいしかったです。
次回も 是非参加したいです。
帰りのバス 集合時間を30分以上たってもこないかたがいて とても迷惑でした その人達は 結局おいて 出発しましたが 熱いバスの中 時間通りにきて 30分以上も待たされる人がいるということを 少しは考えて欲しいです。
First, regarding the departure, a dedicated park bus will pick you up. You'll be sharing the ride with other foreign guests. The air conditioning inside the bus is very strong, so it's essential to bring a jacket. It's fine to wear swimsuits on the way there and back. Upon arrival, a Japanese guide will be waiting for you, but the explanation inside the facility is done using a pamphlet, which is quite general, and I would have preferred more specific information.
First, about the lockers: they are smaller than typical Japanese lockers, so it might be difficult for two people to use a small one. You can either rent a large locker or minimize your belongings to use a small one. The lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. While there is some grass inside the facility, most of the walking is on concrete, so moving around barefoot could lead to burns; I recommend wearing sandals.
For lunch, I heard it would be a BBQ, but it turned out to be an all-you-can-eat selection of salad, rice, chicken, beef, and fruit. The taste is not bad, but the variety is limited, so I was a bit disappointed given the price.
As for the attractions, some become available at specific times or may temporarily close, so not all attractions are accessible at all times. A good tip is to experience the attractions that are open first to avoid wasting time. For popular attractions, the wait can be up to 30 minutes. The attractions are all unique and not found in Japan, so I hope you can experience as many as possible. Surprisingly, a popular attraction is located on a mountainside, and you have to lift and carry a giant inflatable ring yourself, which requires some stamina. Therefore, it can be challenging to keep riding consecutively.
You can bring underwater cameras on all attractions. It's fine to take off your sandals before riding, but towels can be a hassle since you need to go back to the locker to retrieve them, or they might get stolen. The changing rooms, restrooms, and showers are all in the same area and were reasonably clean.
まず、出発ですがこのパーク専用バスが送迎してくれます。外国人の人たちとも同席です。車内はクーラーがんがんにきいてますので上着は必須。行き帰りは水着を着用されていても大丈夫です。現地に到着すると日本人ガイドさんが待機してくれていますが館内説明がパンフレットを用いてして下さるのですが大まか過ぎてもう少し具体的な内容がほしかったです。まずロッカーですが日本のロッカーより一回りも小さいサイズなので小を2人で使用するのは困難でしょう。大を1つレンタルするか荷物を最小限にして小を1つ利用するかですね。ロッカーは何度も開け閉め可能です。館内は芝生も一部ありますがほとんどコンクリートの上を歩くので素足で移動すると火傷を起こしかねないのでサンダルで移動する事をおすすめします。昼食はBBQと聞いていましたがサラダ、米、チキン、ビーフ、果物の取り放題となっており味は悪くないですが種類が少ないので値段の割にはがっかりでした。
あと各アトラクションですが物によって時間で利用可能になったり一旦、中止にしたりと常に全てのアトラクションがいつでも利用できる訳ではないのでこつとしては開いているアトラクションから体験すると無駄な時間が省けますよ。人気のアトラクションでは最大30分待ち程度でした。アトラクションは日本にはない物ばかりで是非1つでも多く体験してもらいたいと思います。意外に人気アトラクションは山肌にあり巨大な浮き輪も自力で持ち上げて運ばなくてはならないので体力はいりますね。なのであまりがんがんと続けて乗る事は困難です。どのアトラクションも水中カメラは持っていても大丈夫です。サンダルは乗る前に脱ぎ置きしても大丈夫ですがタオルは使用する時に面倒ですがロッカーまで取りに行かないと盗まれます。更衣室、トイレ、シャワーは同じ場所にありますがまずまずの奇麗さでしたよ。
I visited at the end of May a little while ago. Even though it was the rainy season, I didn't get caught in the rain, so I didn't feel cold. Just a short run away, there's a beautiful sea, and the inflatable slide was really fun. Since my husband and the locals are of BIG size, riding together was thrilling as I felt like I was being tossed around and almost thrown off. I'm sure kids would absolutely love it. It can get quite cold during this time when there's shade or a breeze, so even on cloudy days, I recommend buying a rash guard at places like Walmart to prevent sunburn. The UV rays are very strong, and it's refreshing, so you might find yourself wanting to be in the sun. To avoid ruining your trip by getting too burned, you can purchase one starting from $15, just for your reference!
If you rent a car and go by yourself, it can get quite expensive. I highly recommend taking advantage of the "☆Group Discounts!☆ With Shuttle Service" campaign on this site. It seems that even-numbered groups get 25% off. I went with the "Standard Plan for 2 Adults." The plan doesn't include meals, but soft drinks are all-you-can-drink! So you don't need to bring your own drinks. Also, the fries at Windjammer Food Court are the best! Definitely order them as a single item. The portion is astonishing. They are loaded with cheddar cheese and bacon. Start with one and then decide if you want more based on your appetite!
Lastly, if you have shuttle service, the hotel pickup is around 9 AM, but since it opens at 10:30, it will be a leisurely drive until then. The bus is kept very cold, so please make sure to bring a jacket or something to protect against the wind. Please note that the facility is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June to August.
ちょっと前になりますが5月最終週に行ってきました。
雨季なのに雨に降られなかったので寒い思いはしませんでした。
ちょっと走れば、きれいな海ですが、浮輪系のスライダーが本当に楽しかったです。主人や現地の人たちがBIGサイズなので、一緒に乗ると振り回され、ほおり出されそうになるスリルが本当に楽しかったです。きっと子供は大喜びだと思います。日陰や風が吹くとこの時期寒いので、曇りでも日焼け防止もかね、ウォルマートとかでラッシュガード買っておくのもお勧めです。紫外線が非常に強く、さわやかなのでついつい日向に出たくなります。焼き過ぎで旅を台無しにしないためにも、$15~から購入できますのでご参考に!
レンタカーを借りて自分で行くと、かなり高いお値段になります。
是非とも、本サイトの「☆グループで行くとお得なキャンペーン!☆ 送迎付き」を活用してください。偶数人が25%OFFのようです。私も「大人2人スタンダードプラン」で行きました。
食事は無しのプランですが、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題!だから飲み物は持参しなくても大丈夫ですよ。また、ウインドジャマー・フードコートのポテトが最高!単品で是非頼んでください。驚きの量です。チェダーチーズとベーコンがゴッテリのっています。まず1つ他のでから、お腹と相談して追加しましょう!
最後に、送迎付きの場合、9時ぐらいにホテルピックアップですが、10:30OPENなので、それまで、ゆっくりなドライブになります。バスの中はキンキンに冷やされますので、パーカーなど風除けは必ず持っていてくださいね。
6月~8月以外は、火・水が休館日なのでご注意ください。
You will be seated with people from countries other than Japan at each hotel. The air conditioning in the car is quite strong, so bringing a jacket is essential. After arriving at the site, a Japanese person will give a brief tour of the facility, but I found it a bit too simple, which made me a little anxious. The lockers cost $7 (with $2 refunded), but unlike in Japan, they are small, so if you want to take off your sandals, you'll need to put them in a locker, so I think it's better for each person to have one. Since it's expensive, those who are hesitant might want to minimize their luggage. Additionally, the lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. The park is made of concrete, so there's a risk of burns, so I recommend wearing sandals. There are slides that you won't find in Japan, and riding on any of them gives you an amazing feeling. Photos are taken on all the slides, and you can see them at the souvenir shop on your way back. However, since all the photos from the slides can only be viewed in one place, there tends to be a long line, so if you want to see your images, it's important to wrap up your fun and head there at least an hour before the meeting time. Lunch was described as a BBQ lunch, but it was just a buffet with salad, chicken, beef, fruit, and rice. Drinks were unlimited, but there were only about four types, so it was a disappointing lunch considering the price. Also, not all attractions in the park are open all the time; some are temporarily closed, and others open later, so I recommend not giving up if the attraction you want to try is closed and instead experiencing the ones that are open. The changing rooms and shower facilities were decent.
各ホテルから日本人以外の国の方と同席で現地へ。車内はクーラーが効きすぎてるので上着は必須です。現地へ到着後に日本人が館内案内をしてくれるのですが簡単過ぎて少々不安でした。ロッカーは小7$(2$返却されます。)ですが日本と違い小さくサンダルを脱ぎたい人はロッカーに入れないといけないので1人1つの方が良いかと思います。高いので抵抗ある人は荷物を最小限にすることが妥当かと思います。あとロッカーは何度でも開け閉め可能です。園内はコンクリートなので火傷する可能性もあるのでサンダルを履く事をおすすめします。日本ではない滑り台ばかりで何を乗っても最高の気分があじわえます。全てのスライダーに写真撮影がされていますが帰りにお土産やの中に写真を見せてくれますが、なんせ全てのスライダーの撮影された物が一か所でしか見れないので長蛇の列ができており自分の画像を見たい人は集合時間の1時間前には遊ぶのをきりあげて行く事がポイントです。昼食はBBQランチとの記載でしたがサラダ、チキン、ビーフ、果物、ライスのみのバイキングでした。飲み物は飲み放題でしたが種類は4種類程度で金額の割には期待外れの昼食でした。また、園内の各アトラクションは常に開いている訳ではなく時間によって一旦中止され、中止されていたアトラクションが開いたりしている物がいくつかあったので、やりたいアトラクションが閉まっているからといって諦めず開いている物から体験する事をおすすめします。更衣室、シャワー室はまずまずの環境でした。
When I thought of Hawaii, I only thought of the ocean, so I had never been before, but I really enjoyed it. There are a lot of attractions, and they are all interesting. The local high school students casually approached me, saying, "It's more fun to ride with a big group, so let's ride together," and they suggested, "Let's race!" on the water slide. It's great to be able to play with the locals. Also, the staff members were very friendly.
ハワイと言えば海!と思っていたので今まで行ったことがなかったのですが、楽しめました。
たくさんアトラクションがあり、どれもおもしろいです。
地元の高校生に「大人数で乗ったほうが楽しいから一緒に乗ろう」と、気さくに話しかけてくれたりウォータースライダーで「競争しよう!」など、地元の人たちと遊べるのもイイものですよ。
また、スタッフの方たちも親切でした。
The staff is friendly, and I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! I was lucky to see manta rays and sea turtles as well. I want to participate again!
スタッフがフレンドリーだし
サンドバーの美しさに感動!
運良くマンタ、海ガメも見れてラッキー☆
また参加したい程です。
excellent loved it.
