It got quite dirty with the dust. But that made it interesting. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I was drawn in by the cheerful atmosphere and had a lot of laughs. I think they shared episodes and myths from the filming, but I felt it would have been nice to have printed materials in Japanese at that time. Anyway, it was a lot of fun.

砂埃で結構　汚れちゃいました。でも、それがまた面白かったです。英語でのガイドだったので　説明がほとんど分からずでしたが　陽気な雰囲気につられて　笑いがいっぱいでした。撮影時のエピソードや神話などを話してくださったように思うのですが　その時に日本語での説明の印刷物でもあると良かったかなと思いました。とにかく楽しかったです。

Incredible staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. I like the options to participate or just soak in the beautiful scenery going snorkeling or on the sandbar. Food was great also!

It was a very valuable experience for the children. The staff were also very kind and provided thorough explanations to the children's questions.

子供にとってとても貴重な体験となりました。
スタッフの方もとても親切で、子供の質問にも丁寧にく説明をしてくれます。

Interacting with the dolphins was very enjoyable. It was a valuable experience. Since you can also feed sea turtles and small birds, I think it's a place that will make children very happy.

イルカ触れ合いはとても楽しかったです。貴重な体験ができました。海亀や小鳥の餌やりなどもできるので、子供がとても喜ぶ場所だと思います。

I rented a car and arrived just in time, five minutes before the start, after getting lost. I almost gave up, but I was grateful they picked me up.
The buggy ride was pleasant, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. We stopped at various points, and the guide introduced the sights and took many photos. The guide's commentary was in English, but there are videos in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean for how to drive the buggy and safety instructions, so even if you don't understand English, you can manage to drive. I couldn't understand the guide's jokes, which made it less fun.
I want to try the horseback riding course when my child gets older. They provide helmets, goggles, and face covers, but by the end, you'll be covered in dirt.

レンタカー借りて行きましたが、道に迷って開始5分前ギリギリに到着しました。諦めかけましたが、乗せてくれてありがたかったです。
バギーは気持ちよくて、道中絶景でした。ポイントポイントに留めて、ガイドさんが紹介して写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。道中のガイドは英語ですが、バギーの運転の仕方や注意事項は日本語、中国語、韓国語版のビデオがあるので、英語わからなくてもなんとか運転できます。ガイドさんのジョークがわからなくて面白さは半減しますが。
子供が大きくなったら乗馬コースも体験したいです。
ヘルメット、ゴーグル、フェイスカバーくれますが、終わった頃は全身土だらけです。

Even at an early hour, there were few other boats, and both the check-in and departure were smooth, making the experience feel a bit longer. If you time it right, you can enjoy a sense of rendezvous with the jet.

早い時間でも、他の船も少なく、受付も出航もスムーズで、少し時間も長く体験できたように感じました。
時間帯を合わせたら、ジェット機とのランデブー感覚が味わえます。

I participated with my daughter (150m).

Due to weight restrictions, two participants are required (it seems that if you're over 80kg, you can participate alone), so we joined as a family of two. The meeting point was at the boat harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Hilton Lagoon, which made it convenient without any hassle or loss of time, allowing us to fill our free time easily.

We were worried about dropping our phones, so we participated with a waterproof camera attached to a strap, but there were others in a different group who were taking selfies with a selfie stick (of course, at their own risk...).

The 150m height is truly impressive, with all the buildings visible below and a fantastic view of the surroundings. Also, if you wish (?), it seems they can provide some bouncing near the water's surface.

Although not much Japanese is spoken, I think you can manage since there are other groups around.

母娘で参加しました（150m）

体重の関係で2名の参加が必須（80kg以上なら単独も可能みたいですが）という事で家族2名で参加しました。待ち合わせ場所はヒルトンのラグーンから徒歩数分のボートハーバーで移動の負担やロスがない点がよく、空き時間を埋めやすかったです。

自分たちは携帯は落下させそうで怖かったので防水カメラにストラップ付けて参加しましたが、別の組では自撮り棒で頑張って撮影されてる方もいました（もちろん自己責任…）

150mというのは本当に高く建物は全て眼下に見え、周囲が一望できる点が素晴らしいです。また希望すれば（？）、水面付近での乱高下などもして貰えるようです。

あまり日本語は通じませんが別の組も居るので勝手は分かるかと思います。

I participated in a dolphin encounter with elementary and middle school students.

If you take the shuttle bus from the Marriott Hotel on the east side of Waikiki, it departs around 9:00 AM, so you don't need to wake up too early, and the travel distance is not too long (about 30 minutes). The bus also has a restroom, making it easy to participate with children.

The aquarium is of medium size, and there isn't a significant difference in the dolphin and sea lion shows compared to Japan. (Don't compare it to places like Churaumi, Kaiyukan, or Hakkeijima.)

The important part of interacting with the dolphins can be experienced slowly over a good amount of time (about 45 minutes?), and companions can take photos from the opposite shore (which has shade), so there were several participants with one child and one guardian. (Dads took photos and watched the bags from the shore.)

There are also tours to search for wild dolphins offshore, but for families with children, the early departure time and travel distance can be challenging, and since you can't guarantee seeing or interacting with them, the kids said they were glad to have participated in this tour.

小学生、中学生を連れてドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。

ワイキキ東側のマリオットホテルから送迎バスでの出発であれば、9:00頃なのであまり早起きも必要なく移動距離も長すぎず（30分程度）、バスにトイレも付いているので子連れでも参加しやすかったです。

水族館としての規模は中程度で、イルカやアシカのショーも日本と比べて大きな違いはありません。（美ら海、海遊館、八景島などと比べてはいけません）

肝心のイルカとの触れ合いはゆっくりと時間をかけて体験できる（45分程度？）のと、同行者も対岸（日陰もあり）などから撮影は出来るので、子供＋保護者１名での参加者も数名いました。（お父さんは陸から撮影＆荷物番）

他に沖で野生のイルカを探すツアーもありますが、子連れには出発時刻（早朝）や移動距離の苦労もあり、確定で会える訳でも触れる訳でもない為、本ツアーに参加してよかったと子供たちも言っていました。

I had high expectations, but it started to rain and the show ended inside. The food was delicious, so I wish I could have seen a bit more until the end.

かなり期待していたのですが、雨が降ってきて中でShowが終わってしまいました。食事は美味しかったので、もう少し最後までみたかったです。

the kids lvoed to get to see the fish from the portholes! great day underwater

This was best luau show we have been to. The Chief was so funny and made the show. We loved the girls dancing and the guys with the fire were outstanding. The food was ok

Had the most amazing time! The staff are absolutely wonderful!!!

My family loved this! Book early because we would not have wanted to miss this the most.

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.

I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.

There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.

とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。
出航する時は波が穏やかでも沖に出れば天候など関係なく波が高く、檻に入っても酔います。

英語ガイドで何も理解はできませんでしたがなんとかなります。

サメはすごい量いて、襲ってくることもなく体験としては素晴らしいです。

Such a great experience! We had the best and want to return again soon.

We loved the experience. Such soulful music on the boat followed by snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking. And then chilling on the floating couch. Loved it all.

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.

During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.

参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

I participated with my daughter. Everything was in English except for the reception. On the boat, they seemed to think we didn't understand English, so we were a bit neglected, which was a little disappointing. The explanations were somewhat lacking, but we could understand by watching others, so I wasn't too worried. The parasailing was fun with great views. Since we go out to sea on the boat for parasailing, I recommend taking medication if you are prone to motion sickness.

娘と2人で参加しました。
受付以外は全て英語でした。
ボートでは私たちが英語が分からないと思い、ぽぽ放ったらかし状態だったため、少し残念でした。
説明なども雑でしたが、他の方のを見ていて分かりますので、心配はありませんでした。
パラセーリングは、景色も良く、楽しかったです。
パラセーリングへは、ボートで沖の方まで行くので、酔いやすい方は薬を飲むことをオススメします。

It was just amazing.
The weather wasn't great, but I still had fun.
When we took off, it felt exhilarating, and as we gained altitude, I could see the ocean, Diamond Head, the beach, and the hotels, which was really nice.
I took the bus round trip from Sheraton Waikiki, so I told the captain that there was no need for a Japan trip.
I have over 100 photos and received them as data.

もう、最高でした。
天気がイマイチでしたが楽しめました。
飛び立つ時がウォーという感じでしたが、どんどん高度が上がると海、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチ、ホテルと見えて気持ちよかった。
シュラトンワイキキからバスで往復したので、海へのジャポンはキャプテンになしと伝えました。
写真は100枚以上ありデータでもらいました。

I am just shy of being in my late fifties, but this time, I participated in zip lining alone for the first time. There were nine participants, and the other eight were all foreigners. However, I was able to enjoy myself with the other foreign participants.

After each zip line, everyone cheered and clapped for each other. There were three instructors, and even though I don't understand English, they spoke to me in simple English before I took off to help me relax. I didn't quite understand the explanations during the activity, but the atmosphere was enjoyable enough.

There were also about three spots along the way to hydrate. I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii while moving along mountain paths and crossing suspension bridges. The three instructors were very dedicated to making sure the guests had a good time.

I think I would enjoy it even more if I could understand English better. I would like to challenge myself again!

Great sunset sail & swim. Was BYOB and had a good crew. 10/10 would recommend if you’re downtown and want to good time.

This is just what I needed. I'm not a great swimmer nor very confident in open water, and this was an excellent way to learn to snorkel. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide was Ashton. He was awesome! And the pictures were cool.

Destination was easy to find. The guides were very attentive and got us all on the horses fairly quickly. I've never really ridden a horse before so I was a bit nervous of maneuvering my horse but she was a go getter so I didn't have to try too hard. We all rode in a line which was very easy. We had to stop a few times which my horse hated, I got a very impatient horse which I don't blame her. Kinda wished we went a quicker pace but then that would shorten our trip which was 1.5hrs which .5 of that was loading and unloading the horses. I wish the trail was a bit longer. The area was beautiful and quiet which I like. I got some good pictures. We used my step daughters phone for the group pictures cause she had a better camera but when she sent me the pics they came out blurry and I don't get to see her often. Was a little disappointed but it was OK. Technical error. Overall great experience and got to feed the horses treats in the end.

When my family and I first got to the dock we were greeted by the friendly boat crew. They were very personable and caring. On the adventure, we made our way to the sandbar and were able to snorkel, paddleboard, canoe, and relax on the water deck. The sandbar was perfect to stand on and was not deep. The reef was beautiful to look at while snorkeling. My family and I paid extra for the intertube and banana boat, this experience was AWESOME!! You were asked what speed you would like the ride. We wore life jackets and we felt very safe even though this was an extreme water activity. The live music was wonderful, while the overall atmosphere was family oriented. This was our favorite excursion!! If you want a day to play in the water and have fun with the family, this is the excursion for you.

I arrived at the meeting point at 10:15 for my 10:30 reservation. However, I was told the start time was 10:45, so I bought a hot dog and a pineapple smoothie from a nearby stall for breakfast!

Unfortunately, we were the only Japanese people there (there was one group before us). There were 12 of us who boarded the boat and headed out to sea. There is a place to store your belongings at the feet of the boat! With 12 people, a sense of teamwork naturally develops, so I thought theft was unlikely. If there had been other Japanese people, we could have taken pictures together... what a shame! Just before jumping, the crew asks if you want to take a picture. You can view the photos (about 130) later at the reception, and if you like any, they can be transferred to an SD card or your phone for $40. You also have the option not to buy them.

Anyway, since we had to wait for the other groups to jump, anyone prone to seasickness definitely needs to take motion sickness medication. Two people from our team ended up vomiting.

10時30分予約で、15分に集合場所に行きました。
ですが、開始は45分と言われたので、近くの出店でホットドックとパイナップルスムージーを買って朝食！

日本人は残念ながら私たちだけでした。(前の組は1組いました。)
12人でそこから船に乗り、海へ。
持ち物は、船の足元に入れるところがあります！
12人はなんとなくチームワークみたいなのが芽生えるので、そこで盗難はあまり考えられないなぁと思いました。
同じ日本人がいたら、写真の撮りあいが出来たと思います。。残念！
ただ、飛ぶ直前にカメラ撮る？とクルーに聞かれます。
撮ったやつ(130枚くらい)をあとで受付のところで見て、気に入ったらSDカードと携帯にそこで入れてもらえます。これが40ドル。そこで買わない選択肢も出来ました。

とにかく他の組が飛ぶのを待つので、船酔いする人は絶対に酔い止めがいります。
私たちのチームでも2人が吐いてました。

We participated in a tour as a couple aged 68 and 65. It was our first experience with horseback riding, but there was one assistant for every four people, so it was easy to just follow along without any issues.

Once we got from the ranch to the coast, we were able to see the beautiful blue sea from a high vantage point. While enjoying the view of the ocean, we had a fun time leisurely riding the horses. The horses were accustomed to carrying people, so we just had to maintain our balance. We only needed to slightly change direction or move the reins when stopping. The 70 minutes flew by.

After horseback riding, we went to Haleiwa and tried the garlic shrimp and fries combo from a food truck recommended by our driver, Kazu. It was truly wonderful.

68歳と65歳の夫婦でツアーに参加しました。乗馬は全くの初体験でしたが、4名に1名のアシスタントがいて、ただついて行くだけでしたので問題ありませんでした。
牧場から海岸に出ると、真っ青なきれいな海を高い位置から見ることができました。海を見ながら、馬に任せて楽しく散策できました。
人を乗せるのに慣れた馬のため、ただバランスをとって乗っているだけでした。ほんの少しだけ方向を変えたり、止まるときに手綱を動かすだけですみました。70分はあっという間でした。
乗馬の後でハレイワにいき、ドライバーの一（かず）さんおすすめ、テレビでも紹介されたというキッチンカーでガーリックシュリンプとフライのコンボを食べました。本当によかったです。

Enjoyed the show more than anything. The food was okay. Noodles and bread were cold. Also the drink menu was limited. Enjoyed the bus ride there and even more on the way back as our bus driver dropo us of right in front of our hotel. The venue was also shared by a water park which in my opinion was a lot little tacky

Great show, solid food, mixed drinks good, interactive displays fun. We got the gold package which was nice, but silver would have been almost as good. It's awesome that the botanical garden tickets were included with the show tickets. Get there early to get parking otherwise it fills up fast. The entertainers put in a lot of effort and they have some great skills.

I participated with my 67-year-old self, my 66-year-old wife, my 38-year-old daughter, and my 34-year-old son. The other participants were a couple of white people in their 30s, and it felt like a personal tour, allowing us to relax. The male tour guide was always smiling and made it enjoyable. A white woman fell twice and bruised her knee area, but the tour guide quickly helped her, so there was no problem. It was my first time on an e-bike, but next time I would like to try something for intermediate riders.

６７歳私、６６歳妻、３８歳娘、３４歳息子で参加しました、ほかの参加者は３０歳ぐらいの白人さんカップルだけで、パーソナルツアーのようなかんじでりらっくすすることができました、ツアーガイドの男性はいつも笑顔で楽しかったです、白人女性のかたが２度ほど転倒して膝周囲を打撲していましたが、ツアーガイドさんがすばやく助けてくれ問題なかったです；はじめてのEバイクでしたが、次回は中級者向けにTRYしたいです

I participated on July 20, 2023.
The wind was a bit strong, but the weather was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling at the sandbar and Half Moon Reef.
The sandbar was shallow enough to reach my knees, and I had fun taking photos and practicing snorkeling. The water clarity was amazing.
The BBQ hamburger lunch was incredibly delicious, and as expected, American hamburgers are exceptional.
While snorkeling at Half Moon Reef, I was able to see many beautiful fish around the coral reef.

2023.7.20に参加しました。
風が少し強かったですが天気は快晴で、サンドバーとハーフムーンリーフのシュノケーリングを満喫しました。
サンドバーは膝下が浸かる位の深さで、写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして楽しみました。海の透明度が凄かったです。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーランチはパティがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。やっぱり、アメリカのハンバーガーは絶品です。
ハーフムーンリーフのシュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の回りをシュノーケリングして、綺麗な魚を沢山見る事ができました。
