First off, go all out and get the top-of-the-line package because you are treated like a king/queen. As a first-time visit for my girlfriend, she was enthralled. From the moment you walk in, each aspect of the visit is well-planned. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the food well prepared and the show a treat to behold. You won't be disappointed!

We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.
潜水艦に乗るまではクルーズし、潜水艦に乗る地点まで行きます!潜水艦内は少し狭く窓は思ったより小さいですが、昔沈没した日本の飛行機遺跡を見たり、海がめを見たり非日常を味わいましたよ。

The submarine tour felt a bit lacking in visibility and there seemed to be fewer schools of fish for someone like me who enjoys diving. However, the scenery during the boat ride to the submarine was amazing! Seeing Diamond Head and the hotel zone from the sea is such a wonderful experience.
潜水艦での周遊は、ダイビングをする私にはちょっと透明度が悪く魚の群れが少なかった様に感じます。しかし潜水艦に乗るまでに船で移動するのですが、その景色が最高!海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテルゾーンを見るってこんなにいいものなのですね。

I was wondering what it would feel like to float and return to the boat, but it was really easy. I could float gently, and it was a lot of fun.

We participated with my grandmother, children, and a couple, making a group of four. We were able to enjoy parasailing together. The staff on the boat mostly spoke English, but they occasionally spoke in Japanese to make sure we understood. After it was over, everyone applauded us, and we had a valuable experience. I would like to request this again for our next marine sports activity. Both the children and my grandmother were delighted. Thank you very much.

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter and Ray Encounter.
The Dolphin Encounter was conducted in groups divided by language (Japanese/English). Everyone enters the pool wearing life jackets. The children initially clung to their parents since they couldn't touch the bottom, but soon they were floating on their own. The instructor was cheerful and provided explanations, making it a lot of fun.
The Ray Encounter is more about feeding fish (lettuce) while snorkeling rather than touching the rays. When the rays whimsically come to the shallow area, we move there to touch them, which can be a bit hectic. They provided staff who could speak Japanese, so the children were able to understand the explanations. However, since you have to stay still to feed the fish, it might be challenging for small children.
Both activities required signing a consent form. For children, their names are written in the section under the adult's consent form. Depending on the bus arrival time, especially for the first morning session, it can get a bit hectic, so I think it's better to fill out the forms on the shuttle bus. In fact, our bus had to wait about 20 minutes for a group of six who didn’t arrive at their pickup time, and due to traffic regulations related to the Aloha Festival, we still hadn't arrived by the check-in time for the Dolphin Encounter. We made it in time for the start, but after arriving, we wanted to use the restroom and put our valuables in a locker, which made things a bit rushed.
The locker for valuables costs $2. You can bring towels and a change of clothes to the benches by the pool. Be careful around the shower and changing area as there are many mosquitoes.
The entire park is smaller than I expected, and while there are a few shows, they are also smaller than anticipated. It's rare to be able to feed sea turtles, but it seems you can buy food at the gift shop and feed them at the designated time. There aren’t any staff members around the sea turtles to provide explanations.
ドルフィンエンカウンターとレイエンカウンターに参加しました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターは、言語(日本語/英語)でグループに分かれて行われました。全員ライフジャケットを着てプールに入ります。子供達は足がつかないので、始めは親にしがみついていましたが、そのうちプカプカ自分たちで浮かんでいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも陽気に説明してくれるので、とても楽しかったです。
レイエンカウンターは、エイに触るというよりも、シュノーケルをしながら魚にエサ(レタス)をあげる方がメインとなります。エイが気まぐれで浅瀬にやってきたときだけ、その瞬間、浅瀬に自分たちも移動して触るので少し忙しいです。日本語のできるスタッフを付けてくださり、子供達も説明を理解することが出来ました。ただエサあげは、じっとしていなければならないので、小さいお子さんには厳しいと思います。
どちらも同意書にサインが必要でした。子供の分は、大人の同意書の下の欄に、子供の名前を書きます。バスの到着時間にもよると思いますが、特に朝一番の回はバタバタするので、送迎のバスの中で書いてしまうほうがいいかと思いました。実際、私たちのバスは、6名のグループがピックアップの時間になってもいらっしゃらず20分ぐらい待ち、更にアロハフェスティバルの関係で交通規制もかかっており、ドルフィンエンカウンターのチェックイン時間には、まだ到着していませんでした。スタートには間に合いましたけど、到着後トイレにも行きたいし、貴重品はロッカーに入れたいしで、バタバタでした。
貴重品をいれるロッカーは$2です。バスタオル・着替えは、プールわきのベンチまで持っていけます。シャワーおよび簡易更衣室近辺は、蚊が多いので注意が必要です。
パーク全体は思っていた以上にこじんまりとしており、いくつかショーもあるのですが、これも思っていた以上にこじんまり。海亀にえさをあげたり出来るのは珍しいですが、ギフトショップでエサを買ってきて、時間になったらあげていいようです。海亀の周りに説明員がいるわけでもありませんん。

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

The year before last, I participated with a friend. As soon as we got on the bus, we were overwhelmed by the energetic foreign travelers, and I was filled with excitement wondering what was going to happen. Until we returned, I didn't encounter any Japanese people, which made me feel like I was thrown into a mysterious world. I wanted another friend to experience that thrilling adventure, so I signed up for this tour again. This time was also a big hit, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate.
一昨年 友人と二人で参加。バスに乗り込むや、すごいノリの外国人達に圧倒され、これは何事が起きるんだろうと、それはもうドキドキでした。帰るまで、一度も日本人に会うことも無く、不思議な世界に放り出された気分でした。そのワクワク体験を別の友人にも感じてもらいたくて、再度 このツアーに申し込みました。今回も大うけで、とても楽しめました。また機会が有れば、参加したいです。

I would highly recommend this activity as a 'must do' during your Hawaii vacation.
The whole tour, from initial booking via Hawai Activities, to collection from our hotel, transport, and the Luau experience at Paradise Cove was sensational!
The tour guide Pomai was entertaining and knowledgable and 'included' everyone as a family unit. The staff at Paradise Cove were friendly and helpful and their enthusiasm and smiles made the experience unique and breathtaking.
The hospitality, food and entertainment was second to none.
One of our best holiday experiences ever!!!!

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

My daughter expressed a desire to interact with dolphins, and since it was a rare opportunity, we both signed up for it. My parents accompanied us as spectators.
In the morning, we almost missed the bus because we got the pickup location wrong.
As soon as we got off the bus, we changed into our swimsuits and headed to the pool where the dolphins were waiting. After listening to the guide's explanation, we entered the pool.
The dolphins came very close, and we were able to touch their backs and bellies. Each of us had the precious experience of kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins.
After it was over, we changed and freely explored the park. I bought a photo that was displayed in the gift shop; it turned out really well.
Since we signed up for an early morning session, we returned to the hotel early as well. After that, we were able to leisurely go shopping and have dinner, which was great.

I finally got to experience swimming with dolphins. In Japan, while you can touch them, you can't swim with them, so this was a precious experience.
My husband is a big dolphin lover☆
Although he's not very good at swimming, the instructors at Sea Life Park explained everything carefully, and we had a great time.
Since it was during a show, it took place in a different pool, but on the contrary, we were able to enjoy various experiences at a leisurely pace.
My husband was also very happy♪
It became a wonderful memory for our honeymoon.

I experienced it for the first time. At first, I was really worried about whether I could swim with the dolphins, but no one made any mistakes, and everyone was able to swim together! However, the explanation before starting was only in English, so it was a bit difficult to understand. Also, I felt that the distance we could swim with the dolphins was a bit short. It might be because they are animals, even though they are domesticated, and there could be risks involved... I thought it would have been better if we could swim a little longer.
Lastly, you can purchase photos and DVDs of your experience swimming with the dolphins, so it was a very good experience as a memory. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.
初めて体験しました。
最初は本当にイルカと一緒に泳げるのか不安でしたが、誰ひとり失敗はなく、みんな一緒に泳げていました!
ただ、開始前の説明が英語のみだったので、少し分かりにくかったです。
あとは、イルカと一緒に泳げる距離が少し短く感じました。飼育されているとはいえ、動物なので危険を伴うためかもしれませんが...。
もう少し長い距離を泳げたらより良かったなぁと思いました。
最後に一緒に泳いでいる写真やDVDを購入できるので思い出としてはとても良い体験でした。
機会があったらまた参加したいと思います。

I confirmed my reservation in Waikiki, and it was fine to do so in Japanese. They even gave me a morning call early on the day of my arrival.
I participated alone, but both the crew and other guests were friendly, so I highly recommend it!
I took motion sickness medication before departure, and I didn't feel sick at all on the boat or in the pickup van, so it's a must for those who are worried about it. In fact, about two people got seasick on the boat and couldn't go snorkeling with the dolphins.
Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, I thought it would depend on luck, but a mother dolphin and her five calves swam slowly around us! It was a lucky day because the water was very clear!
We moved to another spot and snorkeled among about eight sea turtles! The taro bread hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious!
We were able to return to Waikiki by noon, so I highly recommend it!
ワイキキに到着してからリコンファームしましたが日本語でOKで、当日の朝早くに確認のモーニングコールくれました。
一人参加でしたが、クルーもお客さんも仲良く過ごせるのでオススメです!
出発前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたら、ボートの上でもピックアップのバンでも全然酔わなかったので、心配な方はマストです。
実際2人くらいボートで酔って、イルカシュノーケルできてませんでした。
野生のイルカ相手だから、運もあるだろうとおもってましたが、5頭のイルカの親子が私達の周りを本当にゆっくり泳いでくれました!その日は水も透明度の高い日だったのでラッキーでした!
ポイント移動して、ウミガメが8頭くらいいる中でシュノーケルしました!
ランチのタロイモブレッドのハンバーガーもなかなか美味しかったです!
昼にはワイキキに戻ってこれたので、オススメです!
