The price is not cheap, but the proximity to the dolphins was closer than I expected, and the time we could interact with them was longer, so we had a wonderful time. However, my husband and I were scheduled for the program at 11:45, but we were instructed to gather at 9:30, the same time as the program starting at 10:30, which made the over two hours we had to wait feel very wasteful. Since Sea Life Park is not that large, it was difficult to kill two hours. I think gathering at 11:00 would be sufficient. Also, I was shocked by the high cost of the photos.
安くはない価格設定ですが、思った以上にイルカとの距離も近く、触れ合える時間も長かったので、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。ただ、今回私と夫は11時45分からのプログラムだったのですが、10時半からのプログラムと同じ9時半に集合するようにとの指示で、11時45分までの2時間以上の時間がとても無駄に感じられました。シーライフパークはそんなに広くないので、2時間も時間を潰すのには苦労しました。11時集合で十分だと思います。あと、写真代が高いのにはビビリました。

By far the funnest way to see Kualoa Ranch and breathtaking views of this side of Oahu. This activity is hand's-on and not for the faint at heart. Easy-instruction for first time ATV riders. There's just enough photo-op's along the way, and plenty of rugged trail riding to keep you engaged. Much mahalo to our guide, Molly, who took our strong group of 6 through twists and turns, and then queued a light rain at the end!

The luau was not very good. We were sent there 2 hours before the luau and the activities prior were not alot of fun and too many people to even enjoy. Should have offered some kind of appetizer, but they were trying to get you to buy snacks and drinks. The food was ok. The only thing really good was the pork. Show was ok, but a little hokie. This luau is not what I was expecting.

I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.

I experienced surfing for the first time in Hawaii! I had heard that the waves in Hawaii are beginner-friendly, so I thought if I was going to try it, it should be in Hawaii. I challenged myself with my brother and cousin! Besides us, there were also a Japanese parent-child pair and two groups from English-speaking countries, making a total of about 11 people.
The lesson was said to be in English, but the explanation on land was given by someone who could speak Japanese. I was able to understand the basics here. The final explanation before entering the sea was in English, but I understood it.
The trainer also spoke some simple Japanese! There were even some who could speak quite a bit of Japanese. At first, I was worried if I could do it, but once I got into the sea, I was amazed by the clarity of the water. And to my surprise, I was able to stand up on my first wave (laughs). Truly, it’s Hawaii! Truly, it’s the trainer! I had so much fun and challenged myself multiple times!
I think experiencing this in Hawaii was the right choice for me. I gained confidence from doing well, and I feel like I might get hooked on surfing! If I go to Hawaii again, I’ll definitely do it again!
初めてのサーフィンを、ハワイで体験しました!ハワイの波は初心者向けというのを昔聞いた事があったので、やるならハワイでと思っていました。弟と従姉妹と3人でチャレンジ!私達の他に日本人親子の方、
英語圏のグループの方が2組いて、全部で11人くらいいました。
英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、陸上での説明は日本語が話せる方がしてくれました。やり方など大体の事はここで理解出来ます。海に入る前の最終説明は英語でしたが、理解出来ました。
トレーナーさんも簡単な日本語で話してくれます!中には日本語が結構話せる方もいました。
最初は自分に出来るか不安でしたが、いざ海に入るとまず海の透明度に驚きました。そして初めての波乗りは、まさかの1発で立てました(笑)さすがハワイ!さすがトレーナーさん!と思いました。楽しくて何度も挑戦しました!
ハワイで体験した事が、私にとって正解だったと思います。上手く出来たことで自信がついたし、サーフィンにハマりそうです!またハワイに行ったらお願いします!

During the Obon holiday period, we were the only Japanese people there. The handsome staff member gave us instructions in Japanese, so we had no trouble at all.
They offered to take photos for $30, so we decided to go for it. They give you a CD right on the spot. There seemed to be a scratch on the lens, so every photo has a mark on it, but that's part of its charm. They even included some landscape photos.
The pictures are a bit monotonous since we're just flying, but only the staff can take photos of us up there (if you try to take turns in a group, you can only get tiny pictures since you can't stand up to take photos), so I thought $30 was a bit pricey, but I don't regret it at all☆
It felt really nice, so I want to go again.
I didn't experience the scary trolley that others mentioned; it was just normal driving.

I participated on the first day I arrived in Hawaii. They were inviting people to the Golden Circle seats in order of arrival, so if you want to be in the front row, it might be best to arrive early and line up. You could get food from the people at your table, but there was quite a time difference between the first person who went to the buffet and the last person. The finale of the show featured a breathtaking fire dance.

I was nervous during my first snorkeling experience, but I was able to see dolphins perfectly! I encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and I was truly moved when a baby dolphin jumped. When I entered the water, I could see many dolphins swimming below me. They came so close that I felt like I could almost touch them (though you're not supposed to). However, keeping up with the guide was quite a challenge (laughs). It requires quite a bit of stamina. After the dolphins, we enjoyed touch-up paddling, kayaking, and snorkeling around the rocks. The snacks and cheeseburgers we had when we got hungry were delicious! On the way back, we all danced the hula happily before disembarking! The half-day was so much fun that I didn't feel any seasickness at all. I fell asleep on the bus ride back, and we were dropped off in front of the hotel in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! By the way, I purchased some photos. They are a bit pricey, but they make for wonderful memories, so I think it's a good idea to actively engage with the photographer!
初めてのシュノーケリングで緊張しましたが、ばっちりイルカに会うことができました!

We participated as a family of four, consisting of a couple in their 50s, a daughter in her first year of university, and a son in his first year of high school. Although there were no dropouts, the guide had a bit of a hard time with our daughter, who is more into cultural activities. Well, that just shows how attentive the guide was. The brakes are similar to those of a scooter, but the throttle is operated by a lever controlled by the right thumb, which was a new experience for us. My wife also struggled with this.
The ride had a relaxed atmosphere throughout, but if you wanted to, you could reach speeds of up to 20 km/h, which I think adds to the excitement. It was also great to see the ocean suddenly appear when we crossed the mountain!
50前後の夫婦に大学一年の娘と高校一年の息子、総勢4人で参加しました。棄権者はいなかったものの文化系の娘にガイドさんは手をやいてました。まぁ、それだけ面倒見が良いということです。ブレーキは原付きバイクと同じですがアクセルが右手親指によるレバー操作というのが未体験。家内もこれに手こずってました。
終始のんびりムードのライドでしたが、その気になれば20kmまでのスピードは出せるので迫力あると思います。
また山越えの時にドーンとうみが見えたのも良かったです!

I made a reservation because I wanted to show it to my mother who does hula dancing. When I arrived early and stood in line, there were a lot of foreigners...

Before the show started, there was a service where they would draw tattoos with a marker, and my 17-year-old daughter was thrilled to have it done by a super handsome dancer. I want to go again.

This time, my husband, daughter (a third grader), and I participated in the Dolphin Encounter. It seemed that about half of the participants were Japanese. Because of this, there was an explanation provided in advance by a Japanese person, and the trainer explained things in broken Japanese. So, we didn't have to worry about the language.
Since the observation area was quite far away, we couldn't take many photos or videos. In the end, we each purchased a commemorative photo for $18.
The Sea Life Park itself is not very large, and if you imagine it like an aquarium in Japan, you might be a bit disappointed. The main attraction is interacting with the dolphins, and the rest is just a little sightseeing to pass the time, so I don't think it's a good idea to plan to stay in the park all day.
While I have some dissatisfaction regarding the scale of Sea Life Park (and the admission fee), the interaction with the dolphins became a wonderful memory for my daughter.
今回は、主人と娘(小学3年生)がドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
割合的には日本人が5割位でしょうか… その為事前に日本人の方から説明があり、トレーナーさんは片言の日本語で説明してくれたそうです。 なので言葉の心配はありませんでした。
見学はかなり離れたところからだったので写真やビデオはあまり撮れませんでした。
結局記念に1枚18ドルの写真をそれぞれに購入しました。
シーライフパーク自体はあまり大きくなくて日本の水族館をイメージすると拍子抜けします。 メインはイルカとの触れ合いであとは時間潰しにちょろっと見学程度で、一日中パークにいるスケジュールにはしない方がいいと思います。
シーライフパークの規模(入場料)に対する不満はありますが、イルカとの触れ合いは娘にとって素敵な思い出になりました。

I participated in the first morning flight at 9:00. There was no wind, and the water surface was calm. Is the ocean in Waikiki really this beautiful? The color of the sea changes as you go further. I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).
Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.
When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.
Thank you very much.

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.
太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。
Thank you for participating. We apologize for not being able to meet your expectations.

Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.

He was visiting Hawaii for the second time, while it was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling as well. I was excited but also anxious, worried about seasickness, but the crew really lifted my spirits and my worries disappeared! I hoped to see wild dolphins even just once, but I was amazed to see so many up close, even more than I expected. I also got to ride a kayak and took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories. I want to meet the dolphins again when I come back to Hawaii!
彼は2回目のハワイで私は初めてのハワイでシュノーケリングも初めてでした。
ワクワクしつつも、不安もあり、船酔いも心配でしたが、クルーの方々が盛り上げてくれて不安は一気にとびました!
一目でも野生のイルカを見れたらいいなぁと思っていましたが、予想以上に近くで沢山見れてすごく感動しました。
カヤックにも乗れて、写真を一杯撮っていただきすごく思い出に残りました。
また、ハワイに来た時にはイルカに会いたいです!
Thank you for your participation. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

We participated as a family of five: two adults and three children, including an infant. My wife and the infant stayed on the boat to watch while the rest of us went into the sea. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. We participated on July 26.
It took about 20 minutes by car from Aulani to the port.
There were no changing rooms at the port, just a dirty public restroom. I was glad we wore our swimsuits beforehand.
There were about 30 participants, all Japanese. The staff included a Japanese host, while the others were locals. The boat felt quite old.
Once we left the port and headed out to sea, we started to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which really got us excited.
The boat continued to the point where the dolphins were. I learned that the way to see the dolphins was to first spot them from the boat, then maneuver the boat ahead of where the dolphins were swimming. When the captain shouted "GO! GO! GO!", everyone quickly jumped into the sea to see the dolphins swimming.
While I was okay with it, my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter could only swim about 10 meters, so jumping into the sea from the boat was quite scary for them. I had to more or less push them in, and honestly, it seemed very frightening for them.
Additionally, during our first encounter with the dolphins, my daughter needed to use the restroom, which caused us to miss the timing to jump in. It’s better to take care of that beforehand.
Fortunately, we were able to jump in during the second dolphin encounter and saw dolphins swimming underwater, but it seemed that some other participants missed out.
After that, we had cheeseburgers on the boat for a break and headed to the sea turtle encounter point. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles, but we had a lot of fun kayaking together with the kids.
Finally, we all danced a Hawaiian dance on the boat before returning to the port.
It was quite hard both mentally and physically, but we were able to see dolphins, and the kids said they had a great time. I think it was a wonderful experience. At the end, the kids received small dolphin plush toys as gifts, and they were really happy about that.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
妻と乳児は海には入らず船の上で見学。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/26。
アウラニから港までは車で20分程度でした。
港には更衣室等はなく、汚い公衆トイレがあるだけ。事前に水着を着用しておいてよかったです。
参加者は30名くらいで全員日本人でした。スタッフは司会進行(?)の方が日本人で、他は現地の方。船はわりと古い感じ。
港を出て沖に出ると、野生のイルカやウミガメがちらほら見えてきて、気分が盛り上がってきます。
そのまま船は進んでイルカがいるポイントへ。
その時知りましたが、イルカを見る方法というのは、
まず船の上からイルカを目視で見つけて、
イルカが泳ぐ先へ船で先回りし、
船長が「GO!GO!GO!」と叫んだら
みんなで大急ぎで海に飛び込み、
イルカが泳ぐ姿を見る、
というものでした。
自分はいいとして、9歳の息子と7歳の娘はまだ10mくらいしか泳げないので、船の上から海に飛び込む、というのはかなり怖かったと思います。半分放り込むような形で飛び込ませたのですが、正直かなり怖かったみたいです。
あと娘が1回目のイルカ遭遇時、大きい方を催してトイレに行き、そのせいで飛び込むタイミングを逸してしまいました。トイレは事前に済ませておいたほうがいいです。
幸い我々は2回目のイルカ遭遇時に飛び込んで、海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができましたが、他の参加者さんは見られなかった人もいたようです。
その後船上でチーズバーガーを食べて休憩し、ウミガメ遭遇ポイントへ。
残念ながらウミガメはいませんでしたが、子供たちと一緒にダブルカヤックでたのしくあそばせてもらいました。
最後に船上でみんなでハワイアンダンスを踊って港に戻りました。
精神的にも肉体的にもけっこうハードでしたが、イルカに会うことができて、子供たちはすごく楽しかったと言ってました。いい経験になったと思います。
最後に子供たちへのプレゼントで小さいイルカのぬいぐるみをもらってましたが、それもすごく喜んでました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
