野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Amazing! Very satisfied! Highly recommended tour! 最高！大満足！推薦ツアー♪

In a word, it was a truly, truly enjoyable and satisfying tour. The staff was very friendly and fun, and the Japanese female guide was professional! Her work was trustworthy. This was my second time participating in this tour, and I once again felt that it truly is Alan Wong. I was healed by the dolphins, healed by the turtles, and after having a blast, I filled my stomach with the long-awaited hamburgers, and finally enjoyed the hula, making it a fulfilling tour. Even though it was the same tour, I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

一言でいえば本当に本当に楽しい大満足のツアーでした。スタッフの対応もとてもフレンドリーで楽しかったし、ガイドの日本人女性の方はプロフェッショナル！信頼できる仕事っぷりでした。これでこちらのツアーに参加するのは2度目なのですが、さすがはアランワンだなーともう一度実感したツアーでした。イルカに癒され、カメに癒され、目一杯楽しく遊んだ後は、お待ちかねのハンバーガーでお腹も満たされ、最後にフラに楽しませてもらった充実なツアーでした。同じツアーでもまたハワイに行った際は是非参加したいと思います。この度は素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Paradise Cove Luau was a very fun experience and it is great for families since they have activities you can participate in. The food was very delicious, I however would not recommend paying the extra for the Deluxe package with table service and 6 standard drink coupons. Table service was very slow, people who did the buffett had food way before we did AND there were other things on the buffett that table service guests did not receive.

It was piled high. てんこ盛りでした

Reviewed by: summer

I participated with my daughter, and when we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat, I couldn't help but point my camera at them. We also fed fish, and colorful fish gathered around us; it was truly a dream-like experience.

I tend to get seasick easily, so I felt a bit unwell during the trip and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the hamburger. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. Also, don't forget your underwater camera.

During the hula dance lesson, we had a lot of fun laughing together. It was such an enjoyable lesson that it could inspire someone to start hula dancing. With everything packed into half a day, I have no complaints.

娘と二人で参加したのですが、イルカの群れを船上から発見したときは思わずカメラを向けてしまいました。他にも魚にパンをあげて色とりどりの魚が寄ってきたり、本当に夢のような時間でした。
私は船酔いがしやすいので、途中ちょっと具合が悪くなってしまったので、せっかくのハンバーガーを食べれなかったのが残念です。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めは必須です。あと、水中カメラをお忘れなく。
フラダンスのレッスンでは、笑いを交えながら皆で楽しく受けることができました。フラダンスを始めるきっかけになるような、そんな楽しいレッスンでした。
半日でこれだけ盛り込まれていれば文句はないです。

It was moving!! 感動でした！！

Reviewed by: しゃと

I encountered wild dolphins for the first time on this tour. Although I missed them the first time, I was able to see them successfully at the next spot. Additionally, at the following point, I was able to see sea turtles as well, so overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.

However, I felt that putting on the snorkeling gear and swimming multiple times was a bit physically demanding.

The hamburgers and mangoes we had on the boat were perfect for my tired body.

I think the final hula dance lesson, taught by a local instructor, was a wonderful time filled with laughter.

このツアーで初めて野生のイルカと出会いました。一度目は失敗してしまいましたが、次のポイントで無事見ることができました。また、その次のポイントでは海ガメも見ることができたのでツアー全体としてはとても満足でした。
しかし、何度もシュノーケリングを装着したり、泳いだりするのは体力的にもちょっと大変だった気もします。
船上で食べるハンバーガーとマンゴーは疲れた身体に最適でした。
最後のフラダンスのレッスンは、現地の先生に教えてもらうことができ、笑いのたえないとても素敵な時間を過ごすことができてよかったと思います。

Not for single people.

Reviewed by: Scott Perkins

Two things were very prominent on this excursion.

1) It seemed very focussed on couples. Lots of references for people celebrating engagements, weddings & anniversaries. There was also a special song played so couples could dance together.

2) There were too many add-ons where it seemed really obvious they were trying to get more money out of you ($15 to have your picture taken with some tropical birds for example and also the bar staff trying to talk you into getting the drinks that your free coupon doesn't quite cover). Some of the extra activites were pretty lame and the staff didn't really seemed interested in even pretending to be enthused about being there.

The actual show was pretty good, although it didn't really go on that long. I was at a VIP table and the waiter hovered around and couldn't take your plate so as to start the next course quick enough. No offer of if you would like some more or not despite the fact it was "all you can eat".

This was the second luau that I've attended...it was very good and comparable to the first...the events going on in addition to the luau were an added bonus. Highly recommend upgrading it as we did, we were served our food instead of standing in line, we received a photo that they took at the beginning and the drinks were top of the line. We had front row seating! Made it SO much better for taking photos and viewing the performers! SO glad we upgraded it...worth the extra money :)

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Loved the Luau!

Reviewed by: M & B

Several years ago, I went to a Hawaiian Luau...we ate dinner and watched a show...it was alright. PARADISE COVE LUAU was so much more! I loved it! Before dinner, there were several activities we could enjoy, as we drank our "welcome drink" or used our coupons to have some additional pre-dinner drinks. Activities included: canoe rides, spear-throwing, tatooing, flowered headband/bracelet making, poi practice, and dance lessons. The beach and sunset was beautiful. Negatives: Dinner was okay...my boyfriend liked it, but I'm a little more picky... Some (most) of the drinks required more than just a drink coupon (ie. "one coupon plus $3)...kind of misleading.
Overall, I totally recommend this Luau experience!

Great place to visit! I recommend mapping out your desitnations, so that you don't miss anything...we saw just about everything in the 5 hours we were there (didn't do the night dinner/ show...felt it would be too exhausting after a whole day of show-watching at the center.) Get there early! Enjoy! P.S. If you drive, there are some scenic spots and great beaches in the area.

This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.

The boiled shrimp dinner is excellent. ゆで海老ディナー、最高です。

Reviewed by: Peggy Suwayama

I went to Northshore with the intention of relaxing and taking it easy. At the beach, I took off my shoes to feel the waves, observed a turtle basking in the sun just a meter away, leisurely walked along a simple path, and admired the mangoes abundantly growing in the gardens of ordinary homes...

Now, we had dinner at Sunset Beach. There was a shrimp farm at the northern end, and they prepared fresh shrimp from there in a picnic box for us. I was pleased to see that our guide was mindful of the timing to provide us with warm dishes.

I recommend this place for those who want to unwind.

Northshore は、ゆっくり・のんびりを目的にして行きました。浜では、裸足になって波を感じ、上陸して日向ぼっこ中の亀さんを1メートル先に観察し、何と言うこともない道をのんびり歩き、マンゴーが普通の家の庭にたわわに実っているのを眺め・・・
さて、Sunset Beach で夕食をしました。北端に海老の養殖場があって、そこからの新鮮な海老を調理してピクニック用ボックスにしてくれました。我々に暖かい料理を提供しようとガイドさんが時間配分に気を使っているのが嬉しかったです。
のんびりしたい人にお勧めです。

I apologize for the delay in my post. In March, my husband, my daughter (who is 8 years old), and I participated in the snorkeling activity. It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!

Reviewed by: chiba

I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.

高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ！説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環？で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。

I take my hat off to the dolphin. イルカちゃんに脱帽

Reviewed by: ヨッシー

Departing directly by bus from the meeting point near the Waikiki accommodation, we enjoyed views of Diamond Head, the Kahala area, Hanauma Bay, and Sandy Beach along the way, arriving in about 30 minutes. There were Japanese staff members near the reception and at various points, which was reassuring.

This time, I participated in the Royal Swim. The program involved being pulled by the dorsal fins of two dolphins and a foot push program, which both seemed challenging and made me anxious about whether I could do it. However, when I waited in the posture that was explained to me beforehand, the dolphins smartly and perfectly coordinated their movements to pull and push me with great balance. It felt like the dolphins were playing with me, and I was once again impressed by their intelligence.

On the way back, the photos and DVD from today's interaction were a bit pricey, but they turned out great and serve as a wonderful keepsake. I think opportunities to interact with dolphins like this are rare in Japan, so I absolutely recommend experiencing it.
