Other than the Japanese staff, no one speaks Japanese. At Dolphin Pool, speaking Japanese is prohibited (due to training reasons), so you can't enjoy a lively family atmosphere. If you participate from 3 PM, the meeting time is the same as 1 PM, so you might have trouble passing the time in the park. For lunch, they only sell hot dogs, so it's better to eat in Waikiki. The photos from the Dolphin Encounter took a long time to be processed, and waiting was a bit stressful. Although it's partly my fault that my face is hardly visible in the photos, I wish I had more time to check before they were sold. Due to a photo software issue, the return shuttle bus was 40 minutes late, and I was really blamed by the foreign guests. The park staff said it would be fine, so I was surprised and felt really exhausted. In summary, well, touching the dolphins was fun, so it's okay.
日本語スタッフ以外は、日本語ができません。
イルカプールでは、日本語の私語が禁止(調教の関係で)なので、家族で、わいわいって感じの遊び方はできません。
三時からの参加は、集合は、一時と同じなので、園内の時間つぶしに困るかも。
ランチも、ホットドッグしか売ってないので、ワイキキで食べていくのが、いいですね。
イルカエンカウンターの写真が、なかなか仕上がらず、待たされるのも、ちょっとストレスがたまります。
写真に、ほとんど顔が写ってないのも、自分のせいとは言え、販売するときに、もっと確認する時間が欲しかったです。写真ソフトトラブルで、帰りは、送迎バスに40分遅れ、同乗の外人さんに、めっちゃ責められました。
これも、パークのスタッフは大丈夫って言っていたので、驚き、疲れが、どっとでました。
まとめ;ま、イルカタッチは楽しかったし、い~か。

I think the difference lies in where companies can stand out since what you can see is the same across the board.
The good things were that they arrived almost on time, the service was good, and the explanations on the boat were well done.
What was disappointing was that the talks weren't very entertaining, and the biggest letdown was that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. It might have been unavoidable due to the large number of participants.
However, to come back without seeing a single fish was really disappointing. The sandbar was beautiful, and they actively took photos, which was nice, but I wanted to see the fish. It was very disappointing that they didn't guide us to the spots where we could actually see them and just proceeded mechanically.
見れるものはどの会社でも同じだからどこで差をつけるかだと思います。
よかったことは、ほぼ時間通りに迎えがきたこと、対応はよかったこと、船での説明がよかったこと。
残念だったのは、あまりトークが面白くなかったこと、一番大きかったのはスノーケルで魚が全然見えなかったこと。参加人数が多かったので仕方のないことだったかもしれません。
しかし、魚一匹も見れずに、帰ってきてくださーいって。。非常に残念です。
サンドバーは綺麗だったし、写真も積極的に撮ってくれたりしてよかったですが、お魚さんみたかったのに、ちゃんと見えるポイントも案内せず、事を機械的にすすめていたことが非常に残念でした。
Thank you for using our services.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar. Please understand that the number and types of fish you can see may vary from day to day, as they are wild creatures.
However, we will take your feedback into consideration and work with the tour operator to ensure that we can provide a more satisfying experience for all participants.
We look forward to serving you again.

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

We participated as a couple. On this day, besides us, there was an Italian family and two American couples.
One of the crew members, who could speak Japanese, talked to us. They had lived in Japan and knew a lot about the area where we live, so we had a fun conversation mixing English and Japanese, which is a nice memory.
Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and we could only see a little bit of the sunset through the gaps. It was a bit disappointing, but seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was lovely.
Since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit. We didn't take any motion sickness medication, but I was concerned about getting seasick and didn't feel like eating or drinking much. However, the foreigners were drinking and eating a lot. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.
Also, while the wind feels nice, it might be a bit cold for women. I think it would be good to have something to cover up with.
夫婦で参加しました。
この日は私達以外に、イタリア人家族と二組のアメリカ人夫婦が参加されていました。
クルーで、日本語を話せる方が話しかけてくれたのですが、
日本に住まれていたとかで(私達が住んでいる所も詳しくて)
英語日本語混ぜながら、楽しく会話出来たのも良い思い出です。
あいにくの曇り空でサンセットは隙間から少し見えたくらい。
ちょっと残念でしたが、沖からみるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした~
小型の船なので、結構揺れます。

不安な方は、酔い止め飲んでおかれた方がよいかも。

I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be quite an interesting experience. The pier was bright white and stood out beautifully against the blue sea. From here, we took a boat out to board the submarine, and that was quite enjoyable. Perhaps because of the strong winds, the boat was rocking so much that I could hardly stand without holding on to something. You can also see the submarine rising and sinking from the boat! The view from the submarine was decent, but it was fun as an attraction! My elderly grandmother also enjoyed it.
あまり期待していなかったのですが、なかなか面白い体験でした。
桟橋が真っ白で青い海に映えて、とてもきれいでした。ここから潜水艦に乗り込むために船で沖に出るのですが、これが結構楽しめました。風が強かったせいか、ゆれがものすごくて何かにつかまっていないと立っていられないほどでした。船からは潜水艦が浮き出る様子や沈んでいく様子も見ることができます!
潜水艦からの景色はそこそこですが、アトラクションとしては楽しかったです!高齢の祖母も喜んでくれました。

I signed up for the early morning plan. I was finally able to go to the sandbar that I had always wanted to visit with my husband and my 2-year-old daughter. The weather in Waikiki during pickup was sunny! I thought this was going to be the best tour, but as we headed towards Kaneohe, thick clouds quickly covered the sky. My mood dropped, but our energetic guide Yukiko cheered me up, reminding me that such days happen. We boarded the boat and set off on the cruise. We took photos with Chinaman's Hat and the Ko'olau Mountains in the background, and we were able to spot many sea turtles at the turtle spot. Just as Yukiko announced, "We're almost at the sandbar!" I suddenly noticed that the thick clouds had disappeared, and it was completely sunny with the sparkling sandbar in sight. I was so excited that I was jumping around more than my child (laughs).
Since it was close to low tide, the water was only about ankle-deep, which was perfect for my child to splash around and play. We were able to spend an unforgettable time as a family. The local staff were friendly and great, and even though it was a 2-hour cruise, it was very fulfilling. We returned to Waikiki in time for my daughter's nap, so I think this plan is highly recommended for families with small children! I wasn't able to take good photos when it was sunny, so I plan to join again next time I go to Hawaii for a little revenge (laughs)!
早朝プランに申し込みました。2歳の娘と主人と3人でずっと行きたかった念願のサンドバーに行くことができました。
ピックアップしていただいたワイキキは晴天!これは最高のツアーになるな、と思っていたのもつかの-間バスでカネオヘに向かう山に入る間にみるみる厚い雲に覆われていきました。すっかり気分は落ち込んだのですが、元気印のようなガイドのユキコさんから元気をもらってそんな日もあるかと気を取り直してボートに乗り込みいざクルーズへ。チャイナマンズハットやコオラウ山脈をバックに写真撮影をしてもらい、ウミガメスポットでたくさんのウミガメを発見できました。もうすぐサンドバーでーす!のユキコさんの案内でふと見ると厚い雲はどこへやら、すっかり晴天になりキラキラ輝くサンドバーがあるではありませんか。感激して子供以上にはしゃいでしまいました(笑)
干潮に近い時間だったので水深も足首くらいだったのでちょうど子供がぱしゃぱしゃ遊ぶことができ、家族で忘れられない時間を過ごすことができました。
ローカルのスタッフもフレンドリーでいい感じで、2時間のクルーズでしたがとっても充実していました。お昼にはワイキキに戻れるので娘のお昼寝にも間に合ったし小さい子供連れにもおすすめできるプランだと思います!
晴れているときの写真がうまく撮れなかったのでリベンジもかねて(笑)また次ハワイに行く時も絶対参加します!!

I participated at my husband's request. It was our first experience. The staff member was kind and communicated in broken Japanese. The driver only spoke English. All the other guests were foreigners, which felt a bit isolating...
We had a nearly 10-minute aerial walk per group. However, since we were last in line, I started to feel sick and ended up throwing up at the peak. I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand. The summit was quite high and it swayed a lot. Before returning to the boat, we jumped into the sea.
I purchased an SD card with data for $30, which I paid for later at the office.
It was fun, but I might be a bit tired. Please make sure to take care of your health before participating!
旦那様の希望で参加しました。ふたりとも初体験。スタッフのお兄さんは、カタコトの日本語で親切に対応してくれました。送迎の運転手さんは英語のみです。参加していたお客さんも、みんな外国人でした。ちょっと孤立…
一組あたり10分弱の空中散歩。でも、順番が一番最後だったので気分が悪くなって、なんと頂点でゲ○を吐いてしまいました。酔い止め飲んでおいたんですけどね。頂上はかなり高く、かなり揺れました。船に戻る前に、海の中へドボン。

I chose to participate on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. The timing was close to low tide for this tour, so I joined. On this day, there were two buses filled with only Japanese participants. However, the staff handled everything efficiently, so the movement was smooth.
After everyone saw the honu (sea turtles), we headed to the sandbar. The wind was strong, and the water was cold!! Everyone was shivering. But I was so happy to see the sandbar, which I had been looking forward to the most since before the trip.
It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand, so I could see well underwater! However, I realized that you can't snorkel if you can't swim... Still, I was satisfied to have experienced it a little.
After getting back on the boat, I enjoyed the sandwiches and tea that were prepared. Since I was cold, the food was a welcome treat!
On the day I participated, most of the attendees were couples, but there were also families and groups of friends who seemed to be having a great time.
滞在中でいちばん干潮になる日を選んで参加しました。時間帯が、こちらのツアーが干潮時に近かったので参加しました。 この日は日本人だけでバス2台でした。でもスタッフの方が手際よく対応されていたので移動などはスムーズでした。
みんなでホヌ(ウミガメ)を見たあとはサンドバーへ。風が強く、海の中は寒かった!!みんな震えてました。でも旅行前から一番楽しみにしていたサンドバーが見れてうれしかったです。
私はシュノーケル初体験でしたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったので、ちゃんと海の中が見えました!でも泳げないとシュノーケルってできないんですね…。それでも少し体験できて満足です。
船にあがった後は、準備されているサンドイッチと紅茶をいただきました。身体が冷えていたので、食べ物うれしい!

My husband and I wanted to do something very unique for our honeymoon in Hawaii so we decided to do Shark Encounters! We were both very excited to do this. On the day of, we drove up to the northshore at 430am because we booked the 6am group. On arrival, the staff were very friendly & knowledgable. However, my husband and I were motion sick the whole entire time that we were out at sea. We did not enjoy this at all. We even took gravol to control our motion sickness but it did not work. When we got into the cage to see the sharks, we were still having motion sickness. It was nice to see the sharks close up but it felt like we were sick the whole entire time. Overall, it was an experience that we would never do again.

We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.
The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.
All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.
There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊
早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。
スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)

My wife and I participated together. At first, my wife was hesitant to join, but she started smiling halfway through. By the end, she was eager to participate again. Since it was her first time, she was filled with anxiety and a sense of loneliness about riding alone. However, after mounting the horse for a while, she seemed to calm down with the intelligence of the well-trained horse and enjoyed the experience of horseback riding.
Having experienced horseback riding on the North Shore beaches, I found the location of this ranch to be wonderful. I particularly liked the view of Kaneohe Bay and Chinaman's Hat from the top of the hill. However, it's essential to be able to operate a camera or video with one hand, as one hand is needed for the reins. The staff will take photos in certain locations, but you still want to capture your own memories.
妻と2人で参加しました。
最初参加を渋っていた妻は、途中からにこにこ顔。
終わった後では、また参加したいという始末。
妻は初めてだったので、まず不安と1人で乗るという心細さでいっぱい。しかし、鞍に跨りしばらくしたら、上手に躾けられた馬の利口さに心が落ち着き、乗馬の楽しさを満喫したようです。
ノースショアのビーチで乗馬体験のある私は、今回の牧場の中というロケーションが、すばらしかったです。
丘の上から見下ろしたカネオヘ湾や、チャナマンズハットの景色が気に入りました。
ただし、カメラやビデオは、片手で操作できる事が必須です。片手は手綱ですから。スタッフが場所により撮影してくれますが、やはり自分で撮りたいですものね。
Thank you for visiting.
When riding a horse, your viewpoint becomes quite high, so it might be a little scary at first.
However, I'm glad your wife enjoyed it as well.
On the two-hour course, we go in the opposite direction (to the Ka'a'awa Valley, which has many movie filming locations), so please be sure to try the two-hour experience next time.
We look forward to your next visit!
ご来場有難うございました。
馬に乗ると目線がかなり高くなるので、最初は少々怖いかもしれませんね。
でも奥様にも楽しんでいただけて嬉しく思います。

I visited in February 2012. It was a 2-hour horseback ride.
The location is fantastic.
Scenes from movies and commercials unfolded right before my eyes, and the impact was several times greater than what you see on screen.
However, since it was the rainy season, we set off in light rain.
You can borrow a raincoat, but I was appalled by its dirtiness. The helmet was the same.
So, if the weather is clear, it would be perfect.
If you're going by rental car, you can also stop by the North on your way back, so I think you can enjoy the day.

Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.
On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!

Swimming with the sharks was awesome with Hawaii Shark Encounter..... I liked how the boat was smaller so it was our family and 1 other group. We saw at least 15-20 sharks and they swam very close to us. The cage was a good size and you were able to move around freely. It was surreal being under water with the sharks. I would recommend if you have an Iphone to get the case so you can take the iphone under water. We had an old school underwater camera and it was difficult taking pictures with it and holding onto the cage. We will see if any of our pics turned out. In summary highly recommend this activity and Hawaii Shark Encounter was great!!!!

My father took on the challenge for the second time.
The kids tried surfing for the first time.
I had heard that surfing requires more stamina and strength than expected, and it really was true.
But thanks to the instructor, we were able to ride the waves.
The fun time flew by in an instant.
Thank you very much.
父は二度目のチャレンジ。
子供たちは初のサーフィン。
サーフィンは思いのほか体力と筋力が必要とは聞いていましたが、本当にそうでした。
でもインストラクターの方のお陰で、波に乗ることができました。
楽しい時間はあっという間でした。
ありがとうございました。

Thanks to the very friendly staff, I was able to enjoy myself despite the unfortunate weather.
However, it was a bit disappointing as it was somewhat different from the image of a sandy beach. It is quite affected by the weather and the tides, so I might need to try a few times.
If I have the chance again, I would like to go back.
とても楽しいスタッフさんのおかげで、あいにくの天気でしたが、なんとか楽しむことができました。
ただ、サンドビーチのイメージとはちょっと違っていたのが残念でした。
天候と海の満ち引きの時間にかなり影響されるので、何度かチャレンジしないとかもしれません。
また機会があれば、行きたいです。

First of all, I thought there wouldn't be any staff who could speak Japanese, but maybe we just got lucky? A local male staff member explained everything to us in Japanese with great effort. The shuttle bus only spoke English, but we didn't feel any inconvenience and had a great time♪
First, we went out to sea at quite a speed, and we were launched to a height higher than we imagined (laughs), so if you're worried, I recommend taking motion sickness medication♪
The staff on board will take photos for you, but it costs $30. You'll receive an SD card when you get off the boat, and you can pay inside the building next to the dock. We weren't quite sure where to pay (laughs), but a Chinese participant helped us, and we just followed everyone else (laughs). I definitely recommend getting your photos taken! (≧ω≦)b
Towards the end, there’s a moment when your lower body gets submerged in the water, and around that time, the staff asks from the boat, "Mizu Japon, okay!?" So, if you don't want to get wet, you won't be forced into the water. I was impressed by this consideration♪ (Of course, we shouted "Okay!" (laughs))
It was thrilling, and the opportunity to see the Hawaiian scenery from such a high position is rare, so I'm really glad I participated―――――!
By the way, the image is from our angle. The boat looks so small from that height (laughs), but it was surprisingly stable and felt great!!
まず、日本語が通じるスタッフがいないと思っていたのですが、私たちの時が偶然だったのかな?現地の男性スタッフが、一生懸命日本語で説明してくれました。送迎バスの方は英語のみでしたが、何ら不便を感じることもなく、楽しめましたよ♪
まず、けっこうなスピードで沖へ行くのと、想像以上に高い位置まで飛ばされるので(笑)心配な方は酔い止めを♪
同乗したスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれるのですが、30ドルで、船を降りる時にSDカードを渡され、船着き場横の建物内でお会計。といった感じです。
私たちはいまいち会計場所がわかりませんでしたがw一緒に参加した中国の方に教えて頂いたのと、あとは皆について行けばいいだけです(笑)
写真は是非!撮ってもらうことをオススメします(≧ω≦)b
そして飛ばされながら終盤、お水に下半身が浸かる瞬間があるんですが、終盤頃になるとスタッフさんが「ミズ ジャポン オーケー!?」ってかんじで船から問いかけてくれて、水に浸かりたくない方が、無理に水中へ引き込まれることはないです♪この気遣いは感心しました♪
(私たちはもちろん「オーケー!」と叫びましたがw)
スリルもあり、あんなに高い位置からハワイの景色を一望できる機会なんてそうそうないので、参加して本当に良かった―――――!と思います!!
ちなみに画像は私たちアングルです。あの位船が小さく見えるほど高く上がります(笑)しかし想像以上に安定感があり、気持ち良いですよ!!

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

The day I participated, it was very windy, so we traveled by boat to the area with the submarine. If you get seasick, be sure to take medication! Once we dove, there was no movement at all, and it was super exciting and thrilling. Luckily, we were able to see turtles and sharks too! The scenery was amazing! The pier where the boat departs and the views during the trip were also fantastic, especially since the weather was great.
参加した日は風が強かったので・・・潜水艦のある沖合までは船での移動。船に酔う方は薬を必ず!
潜ってしまうと全く揺れずめっちゃワクワク・ドキドキでした。運もよく、カメやサメも見ることが出来たので!
また景色がすごくいい!船が出港する桟橋も・・・移動中も・・・天気が良かったせいもあり最高でした。

Thank you for visiting Sea Life Park. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed interacting with the dolphins.
We would like to respond to the points you raised:
- Japanese is prohibited in the dolphin pool: We do not prohibit Japanese or private conversations, but we ask that guests refrain from making loud noises out of consideration for the dolphins.
- Joining at 3 PM means gathering with the 1 PM program: Please understand that we only have two shuttle services per day. During the waiting time, you can enjoy free attractions such as the dolphin show.
- Only hot dogs are sold: There are restaurants and snack bars in the park. The snack bar offers light menu items such as hot dogs, potato chips, and popcorn chicken. The restaurant has a variety of options including hamburgers, pizza, salads, sandwiches, and plate lunches. However, please note that plate lunches are sold until 2 PM.
- Short time to check photos for the 3 PM program: As you pointed out, customers participating in the 3 PM program have less time to check their photos due to the shuttle gathering time. We are currently considering improvements regarding this matter. We sincerely apologize for any unpleasant feelings this may have caused.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and will strive to improve our services. We look forward to welcoming you again.
