Oahu
Had a great show and good food.
I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!
I participated on November 20th! Although the weather wasn't great, the staff's stories were enjoyable, and I never got bored (>∀<). I couldn't see the sea turtles underwater, but I did manage to see them from the boat, as they said there was a 99.9% chance of seeing them☆ Seeing the live sea turtles was moving♪ For those participating, please don't shout if you spot a sea turtle! Chad was really cool↑↑ lol.
11月20日に参加して来ました!!
あまり天気がよくなかったのですが、スタッフの方の話は楽しかったし、全然飽きることがなかったです(>∀<)
海亀を水中で見ることは出来なかったのですが、99.9%見れるということで船からちゃんと海亀を見てきました☆
生の海亀は感動しました♪
参加される方は海亀を見つけても大声出さないで下さいネ!
チャドさんは本当かっこよかったです↑↑笑
I went with a 9-year old and the waterpark was a blast. They don't have a ton of slides, but the ones they do have are amazing. I wouldn't recommend it for much younger children because most of the rides not only have a height requirement, but are pretty intense as well.
I participated in the Big Splash Package.
The wave pool and thrilling slides offer an intensity that you can't experience in Japan. My top recommendation is the wave pool and the white V-shaped slide called "Shaka." The tube slide that you go down in complete darkness is also a lot of fun.
It might have been the off-season, but the park was not crowded, allowing us to enjoy the attractions without long wait times. Even when there was a line, it was only about 5 to 6 people.
The staff who took care of us on-site were energetic and very friendly. The travel time from the hotel is quite long, but on the way back, you’re so tired from playing that you can fall asleep in no time.
You can experience everything in a day, so it may not be a place you want to visit again soon, but I definitely recommend it for first-timers.
ビッグスプラッシュパッケージに参加しました。
波の出るプール、スリル満点の滑り台など、そのスケールは日本では味わえない容赦無さ。
私のイチオシは波の出るプールと、白いV字型の滑り台『シャカ』。真っ暗の中を滑るチューブスライドも楽しいです。
シーズンオフだったこともあるかもしれませんが、園内は空いていて、アトラクションに並んで待つ時間を取られず、目一杯遊べます。並んでも5~6人程度のものでした。
現地でお世話してくれたスタッフの方は元気良くとても感じのいい方でした。
ホテルとの移動時間が結構長いのですが、帰りは遊び疲れているのでぐっすり眠ればあっという間です。
一日いれば一通り遊び切れる内容なので、もう一回行きたくなる程のものではないですが、初めての方には絶対お勧めです。
This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and the first time going out with Captain Bob. It was a well organized function with a superb crew! Having the first stop to the sandbar for volleyball was an excellent way for newbies to get used to snorkeling. It also allowed people to get acclimated to the water before getting into the snorkeling around the reef. Their choice in reef was nothing short of excellent! There was a large variety of fish to view to include several Moray Eels that swam about. The location also allowed a beautiful view of the Main Island and isolated islands off the coast. The only complaint is there was a young crew member who needed to pull up his bathing suit a little bit. He was a very nice young man & friendly with everyone but a bit more modesty would have been appreciated.
Overall, the event was great; everyone had an enjoyable time, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu.
I felt that this was an outstanding value for the money. The whole experience was not only entertaining but educational as well.
Well organized and informative, particularly the battleship Missouri
The polynesian cultural center is pretty cool. Anybody visiting Hawaii for the first time should check it out.
it was great and one day is definitely not enough time to see and learn all that is at the Polynesian Cultural Center
This was what I was looking forward to the most on my trip to Hawaii, so my expectations were high, but it was even more fun than I anticipated, and my friends and I were thrilled. The brightness and attentiveness of the staff made the experience even more enjoyable.
The clarity of the ocean was amazing, and we were able to see many dolphins and fish. We even happened to encounter a sea turtle while we were kayaking! It was truly lucky.
The hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious, and the hula lesson was fun, so I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I will definitely be a repeat visitor.
I took a lot of photos, but unfortunately, they didn’t turn out very well, which was a bit disappointing.
今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだったので、それだけ期待も大きかったのですが、予想以上の楽しさで友人共々大感激でした。スタッフの方たちの明るさと気配りで、楽しさも一層倍増されました。
海の透明度も素晴らしく、イルカもお魚もたくさん見ることができました。私たちはカヤックに乗っているとき偶然海がめにも出会えたんですよ!!本当ラッキー。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、フラレッスンも楽しかったですし、このツアーに参加してよかったです。リピーターになること間違いなしですね。
と、写真もたくさん撮ったのですが、やはり上手には写っていなかったので少し残念でした。
One of the places I absolutely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii after seeing photos in a travel magazine. It was truly beautiful and I was deeply moved. It seems to be one of the world's top power spots, and I was able to relax completely. I even got to meet a lucky sea turtle, so I’m sure many good things are waiting for me when I return to Japan (laughs).
As for snorkeling, only my friends participated while I watched from the boat, but it seemed there weren't as many fish as I had expected. It appears that it is greatly affected by the climate and weather.
Since it mentioned "change of clothes" in the items to bring, I brought extra clothes and underwear to participate, but I was told it was fine to ride the return bus in my wet swimsuit, so I just laid a beach towel down and got on. There wasn't even time to change, and it seemed everyone else got on the bus as they were, so it looked like it wasn't necessary to bring a change of clothes for the return trip to keep our luggage light.
旅行雑誌の写真を見てハワイへ行ったら絶対行きたかったところの一つでした。本当に綺麗で感激でしたよ。世界有数のパワースポットでもあるらしく、心底リラックスできました。幸運を呼ぶ海がめちゃんにも会うことができましたので日本に帰ってきてからきっと良いことがたくさん待ってるはずです(笑)
シュノーケルは友人だけの参加で私は船の上で眺めていましたが、あまり期待していたよりはお魚はいなかったようです。やはり、気候や天候に大きく左右されるようですね。
持ち物に「着替え」と書いてあったので着替えの洋服や下着なども持って参加したのですが、帰りのバスは濡れた水着のまま乗って大丈夫ですとゆうことだったので、そのままバスタオルを敷いて乗りました。着替の時間も無かったですし、皆さんそのままバスに乗られていたようなので、荷物を少なくするためにも帰りの着替えは持たなくてよさそうでした。
My girlfriend and I went on your dolphin adventure today on the Kai 'Oli'Oli and we had an amazing time! The sites and food were superb and the staff was very pleasant. The two instructors and or hosts Yoko and Pat did a spectacular job making you feel like you were at home. We will recommend this to all of our friends in Philadelphia when they come to visit.
We truly enjoyed this tour.
Our guide was very poor.We didn't get to see anything. You need a full day to see everything before the luau.The luau was very poor.The evening show was the best part of the experience.
When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean.
However, the attractions are also fun!
You can "drop" from an incredible height of about four stories.
You can slide down a slide or ride a tube in complete darkness.
If you're looking for thrills, definitely check it out!
ハワイといえば海。
ですが、アトラクションも楽しい!
ビル4Fくらいの凄い高さから「落ちる」
スライダーや真っ暗闇をチューブに乗って滑り落ちたり。
スリルが欲しい人は是非!
The views were awesome!!! Food was great!! No complaints!!!!
I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!
We had a wonderful time. The food was great and the sunset breathtaking
It was an activity that both the children and we parents could enjoy together.
子供たちも私たち親も一緒になって楽しめるアクティビティーでした。
We had a wonderful time.
This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.
今回、初めてドルフィン&ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対!ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。
The pools in Japan and the scale itself aren't that different, but everything is open, and you don't have to wait much to ride the slides. It's a spot you can enjoy no matter how many times you go.
日本のプールとスケール自体はそこまで変わらないがすべてが空いていてあまり待たなくてスライダーに乗れる。何回行っても楽しめるスポットです。
My spouse and I participated in this tour. When I asked my wife, "What do you want to do in Hawaii?" she replied, "I want to see dolphins!! I want to see sea turtles (honu)!!" So, we signed up for this tour.
My wife, who gets seasick easily, seemed a bit anxious, but we brought motion sickness medication from Japan, and once she took it, she was totally fine. (Even if you forget, no worries! Motion sickness medication is sold at the shop in Ko Olina Marina.) Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, we encountered dolphins! It was so healing. The dolphins, curious about everything, quickly approached us, jumping around and showing various expressions.
Next, we snorkeled and met honu and various colorful tropical fish... Four honu swam gracefully by. The fish came so close that we could almost touch them. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.
After that, it was snack time. Everyone enjoyed their meals on the deck or wherever they liked. The kalua pig was delicious.
The boat had a cabin, making it very comfortable! It also had a restroom, which was very reassuring. I had previously gone on another tour to see dolphins, and I remembered feeling cold when coming out of the water due to the sea breeze. However, I didn't feel too cold inside the cabin, but I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt just in case.
It was a blissful time for my wife and me that flew by. I want to see dolphins again...
夫婦で参加させていただきました。家内に「ハワイで何したい?」と聞いたところ、「イルカに会いたい!!ウミガメ(ホヌ)に会いたい!!」との返事で、このツアーに申し込みました。
船酔いのひどい家内は多少不安だったみたいですが、日本から酔い止め薬を持参し、薬を飲めば、全然大丈夫でした。(忘れても大丈夫!!コオリナマリーナの売店で酔い止め薬を売ってますよ)マリーナを出て、30分もしないうちにイルカとご対面!!いや~、癒されます。いろんなものに興味津々のイルカたちはすぐに近寄って来てくれて、飛び跳ねたり、いろんな表情を見せてくれました。
イルカの次はシュノーケルでホヌやいろんな色の熱帯魚とご対面。。。優雅に4匹のホヌが泳いでました。手に取れるくらい魚たちが近寄ってきてくれました。防水カメラを持って行かれることをおすすめします。
その後、軽食の時間。船の甲板や思い思いの場所でみなさん、食事されてました。カルアピックがうまかったです。
船はキャビン付きの船なので、すごく快適!!トイレも付いてるのですごく安心。以前、別のツアーでイルカを見に行ったことがあったのですが、その時は海から上がると海風が冷たく感じ、寒い思いをしたことがあったのですが、キャビン内にいるとあまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、長袖一枚もって行かれることをおすすめします。
あっという間のうちら夫婦にとって至福の時間でした。
また、イルカに会いたいなぁ~。。。
My family and I enjoyed our whole day in PCC. We manage to visit all the 7 tribes of polynesia thanks to our to guide. He was very courteos and very friendly specially to our little ones. The day went very smooth although the weather was hot and muggy. The food at the luau was good as well as the performances of the girls and cousin benny. It was a delightfull dinner indeed. After the luau, we had 1 hour free time to ourselves to visit the souviener shops and check our photos taken during the day. A bit expensive for an 8X10 picture but we bit the bullet for the sake of remembrance. The night show was splendid. They pretty much showed all the seven tribes altogether and made a fabuluos show. Hula dancers were good, they were great shaking their butts. Men were also good at what they do. They really played their part as a tribe warriors. They added a little humor which I thought was cool such as slipping down the floor and pretending to hurt their butt. The three men fire dancers remind
WE want you to know that we Thnak you for making our reservations, We had the greatest time on our Dolhpin expeience and we will go on the Cat Olina a again sometime.
Unfortunately, the day of the tour was cloudy and a bit cold, but thanks to the beautiful sea and the cheerful staff, I was able to enjoy myself very much. I was also able to see sea turtles, which made for a great experience. I definitely want to participate again next time.
あいにくツアーの日は曇りで少し寒かったのですが、
キレイな海と明るいスタッフの人達のおかげでとても楽しむ事ができました。
ウミガメも見ることができたし、いい経験になりました。
また、次の機会にも是非参加したいと思います。
We participated as a family of two adults and two children. We were very happy and completely satisfied to see the kids so excited and having a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the return meeting time was early when transportation was included. With lunch included, the time flew by.
大人2人、子供2人の家族で参加しました。
子供達がかなり大興奮でとても楽しんでいる姿に、私達も嬉しくて大満足でした。
ただ、送迎付きの場合、帰りの集合時間が早いことがちょっと残念でした。
昼食もとると、あっという間の時間でした。
Had an absolute BLAST!! The crew was great and very entertaining. They were really helpful to first time snorkelers and were very welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment (except for the brief heavy rain).
Since we were not staying in Waikiki, we drove ourselves and had a little trouble finding the place, but called and got more detailed directions and still made it in plenty of time.
This was my second time participating. I highly recommend the Big Splash Package! This time, we took advantage of the summer vacation family special rate (with transportation included), which was quite a deal.
*For 2 adults and 1 child, it was $136 (normally $184, with the Splash rate at $134, so for just $2 more, we got meals and a bodyboarding experience).
As a dad planning a family of surfers, the ability to safely bodyboard was a deciding factor for me.
The meals were all-you-can-eat, and the beef and chicken were delicious.
The bodyboarding experience was as fun as I expected.
My little one was riding just like this.
Local bodyboarders were also riding standing up!
The kids' pool has plenty of slides, so I don't think they'll get bored.
The time was a bit short, but it surprisingly used up a lot of energy, so it was just right.
I also received one more experience ticket, so I tried the FlowRider.
It was quite fun!
今回は、2回目の参加。
ビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージがおすすめ!今回は夏休み・ファミリースペシャル料金(送迎付き)の利用でかなりお得でした。
※大人2人 こども1人 136ドル(通常184ドル、スプラッシュ134ドルと2ドルに差で食事とボディーボード体験付き)
家族総サーファー計画を目論むパパとしては、安全にボディーボードができるので決め手になりました。
食事は食べ放題でビーフとチキンうまかった。
ボディーボード体験は予想どおり楽しかった。
チビもままこのとおりのライディング。
地元のボディーボーダーはスタンディング(立って!)乗ってる人も。
こども向けのプールは滑り台が充実。飽きないと思いますよ。
時間は短めですが、意外と体力を使うのでちょうどいいかな。
あと1枚体験チケットをもらえたのでダ・フローライダー
をやってみました。
かなり面白かったです。
I took my girlfriend to the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was very romantic and fun. We booked the Royal Package, so we were taken to the upstairs which was much better than standard in the downstairs (i think!). The foods were great, and we couldn't even finish the three (3) drink tickets we received. The guy who was singing and playing the guitar for us that night was fantastic. The boat itself was pretty stable, and even though I was worried that I would get seasick, neither of us did. :)
For the foods, drinks, entertainment we got, I would recommend this cruise to anyone! Our server, Jenn, was very pleasant as well.
