All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

The staff was great, their knowledge about the fish and the area is beyond amazing. The children were so excited to see the fish and corral.

We had a great time, the food was nice. It was a little windy at first, but it cleared up and the dancers were great!

This was truly a magical day in Hawaii. Waipio Valley is one of those places best seen through the eyes of someone local. This is not merely a tour, but more of an invitation to visit the valley as a guest and get the grand tour from people who truly love it and want you to as well. The horses are happy, healthy, well cared for individuals with personalities and this trail ride is not the dull, narrated nose to tail variety often found in tourist areas. You won't have a "canned" speech and your horses won't be falling asleep from having done a monotonous walk they have done a million times with no hope of change. We left feeling like we really learned a lot from our hosts, who live in the valley, love and know it well, while having seen some of the most spectacular scenery on the island. The snapshot of the view from the lookout point is certainly gorgeous, but go the extra mile and take a ride into the valley to see the taro, the waterfalls, the wild horses, the freshwater streams and amazing landscape. You won't be disappointed!

The guide's service spirit was excellent!
Even though it wasn't included, they let us go whale watching.

After the tour, I got along well with the other participants and we had lunch together...
It was fun!

ガイドさんのサービス精神が最高！
含まれていないのに、ホエールウォッチもさせてくれました。

解散後には他の参加者さんと仲良くなり、一緒にランチを食べたり…
楽しかったです！

We had a wonderful evening, had great seats in front of the stage. The food was delicious & drinks plentiful.
The show was Spectular! Loved the fire twirling!

We encountered about 20 dolphins just five minutes after departure! After that, we spotted two small whales (which the guide mentioned are quite rare to see). Even though it wasn't included in the tour, we were able to swim and see them up close.

When we moved to Dolphin Point, we were able to meet around 100 dolphins. The sight of dolphins swirling around us was a memory of a lifetime. There’s a rule against touching them, but they come close enough for us to reach out (however, our hands have a lot of germs, and touching them could cause burns, so we must absolutely not touch!). It was clear that the guide was enjoying himself, which made it fun for us too.

As a bonus, we also got to see a whale, which felt like an incredible deal.

Afterward, we received potato chips and juice to satisfy our little hunger.

I realized that many customers had also come on the same tour two years ago or were planning to come again tomorrow, which showed me how great this tour is. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to participate.

出発して5分もしないところでイルカ20頭程と早速遭遇！
その後、小さなクジラ2匹に遭遇！(ガイドさんでもなかなか見れない種類らしい)
そこでもツアーに含まれないのに泳いで見ることができました。
その後ドルフィンポイントに移動したら、おそらく100頭ほどのイルカに出会うことができました。
左右下にぐるぐるとイルカがいる様子は、一生の思い出になりました。
触ってはいけないルールなのですが、触れるほどの距離までイルカから来てくれます(が、私たちの手にはばい菌が沢山で、イルカが火傷のようになるので絶対触ってはいけません！)
ガイドさん自身が楽しんでいるのが伝わり、こちらも楽しかったです。

その後も、おまけでホエールも見れて、本当にお得すぎました。

終わった後にポテトチップスとジュースをもらい、小腹を満たせます。

2年前に同じツアーに来たんだ！とか、
明日も来る！というお客さんが沢山いて、
このツアーの良さがわかりました。
私もまた来る機会があれば、絶対に参加したいです。

Devin and Derek were amazing tour guides. They were very attentive and made sure we were both safe and having a great time. The cave was awe inspiring and the snorkeling was even better. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants an off the beaten path adventure.

All of it was awesome! Crew (helpful and pleasant) appetizers (did not skimp) dinner (delicious and plenty), music (love the sounds, fit the ambiance), history narrator (interesting and fun). We even saw a couple whales! Cruising on the water at night added to the wonderful experience!

I am a local and have to say this is the best luau on the island.

We had an awesome time and saw more tails and fins than we had hoped for. We loved the running commentary on whales and learned lots. Thanks to the entire crew for a wonderful cruise, even though the waters were choppy. We highly recommend this tour!

I was a bit anxious because there were few Japanese people on the tour, but the cute Ali-chan kindly explained everything! I was excited to see a manta ray, and we encountered one fairly quickly after starting snorkeling! It was impressive, yet I felt it was really cute! At first, I was so excited to see the manta ray that I forgot about the cold, but since it was late January, it gradually got colder towards the end, and I couldn't stop shivering after getting back on the boat. However, it was a valuable experience to see a manta ray for the first time!

ツアーは日本人が少なく不安になりましたが、かわいいアリちゃんが優しく説明してくれました！
マンタに会えるかドキドキでしたが、シュノーケリング開始から割とすぐにマンタに会えました！迫力があって、でもすごくかわいく感じました！
最初はマンタに会えて興奮して忘れていましたが、1月下旬ということもあり、終わりのほうはだんだん寒くなりボートに上がってから震えが止まりませんでした。でも初めてマンタに会えて貴重な体験になりました！

Totally awesome experience, did the moonlight snorkel with the manta rays. The crew was awesome it was a nice small size of 6 people and such a great experience. They swim so close to you and are so incredibly cool

Fantastic experience!! I loved the shorty wetsuits as it was cool at night. Water was quite choppy, but still happy the event was not cancelled. A few people did get motion sickness. 5 manta rays gave wonderful viewing.

The food was a big surprise. Fantastic! Way above what we expected. In addition to that, the glorious scenery, and the perfect sunset, we saw dolphins and whales. The staff was excellent, including our local Hawaiian musician Bula, and our very knowledgeable Hawaiian historian Mikaila. Highly recommended!

The event started at 17:30, but I lined up for the general seating from 17:00 and was able to be shown to a seat quite far forward. The children's buffet was ready to eat right away, so I had my child go get some, and I enjoyed it as a snack. The main buffet was delicious as well. I got a bit sleepy during the middle of the show, but the fire performances were impressive.

17:30開始ですが17:00からジェネラル席の列に並んで待ったところ、だいぶ前の席を案内してもらえました。
子供用のビュッフェはすぐに食べられるので子供に取りに行ってもらって、
つまみがわりにいただきました。メインビュッフェもどれも美味しかったです。
ショーは中盤眠くなりましたがファイア系は迫力ありますね。

My husband and I loved the doors off heli ride over the Kilauea volcano lava flow! Would highly recommend it!

When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.

It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."

I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.

集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました！
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。

We had a great time on the morning whale watching cruise. The catamaran was large and comfortable. The crew was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a few whales and happened upon one bottle nose dolphin.

I participated with my husband’s father and another person. Although it was far away, I was very moved to see the whales jumping. I hope to observe them from a closer distance next time.

主人の父と3人で参加しました。
遠くでしたがクジラのジャンプも見れとても感動しました。
次回はもっと近くで観察できたらと思います。

The photo service was supposed to be included, but it was not reflected in the organizer's list, and I was asked to pay for the photos.

The parking ticket is paid at the end when exiting, but please note that the payment method is only by credit card.

The show was very nice and had a great atmosphere by the sea.

Photo service がincluded のはずなのに、主催者側のリストに反映されておらず、写真代を要求されました。

駐車券は最後に出庫時に払いますが、支払方法はクレジットカードのみでしたので注意が必要です。

ショーは、とても素敵で海の側で雰囲気もありました。

Fun filled 3 hour cruise. Great food, music, and tour. The crew were all exceptional. Within 3 minutes of leaving the dock the crew had already located 2 whales we could watch. Right before dinner, they located a manta ray as well. The crew also found another whale on the ride home. Great time and very family friendly.

I was able to catch a glimpse of it three times from a distance. However, it was too far away to capture in a photo, and it was just for a moment. Still, I enjoyed the cruise. The staff couldn't speak any Japanese, but they were very friendly. Later, during the dolphin watching in Oahu, I was lucky enough to see whales up close several times, which was great.

遠くにチラッと3回ほど確認できました。
ただ写真には収まらない程の遠くで一瞬でした。
ただ、クルーズとして楽しめました。
スタッフの皆さんは一切日本語が喋れませんがとてもフレンドリーでした。
この後のオアフ島で参加したイルカウォッチングで偶然に何度もクジラを近くで見れたので良かったです。

This was a great time and we can't wait to do it again! We were all able to stand up on our surf boards because of their great teaching, and we loved being in the water with the instructors. Very kind staff! The lesson on the land was a little long and repetitive, but very worth it for the water time. Jake and Tiffany were the best instructor!

I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.

いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は６０点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

I was able to swim right next to dolphins and manta rays! I even got to see a whale, which was an incredible joy. The Japanese staff were amazing too! I'm really glad I participated.

イルカやマンタのすぐそばで泳げました！クジラまで見る事が出来てこの上ない幸せでした。日本人スタッフも最高〜〜！本当に参加して良かったです。

What a great day! Pros: The crew was friendly and helpful, the lunch was tasty and we saw a ton of fish. Our 5 year old had an amazing first snorkeling tour. The slide was a hit!
Cons : we didn't see any Dolphins or turtles but body glove can't control that.

On our first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, we went there on the night we arrived. It was a buffet-style all-you-can-eat and drink, so even with our limited English, we were able to enjoy the meal and the show without any stress!

初めてハワイ島旅行で、到着した夜に行きました。ビュッフェスタイルの飲み放題食べ放題だったので、英語が出来ない私たちでもストレスなく食事とショーが楽しめました♪

Fortunately, we spotted a humpback whale right after leaving the harbor! And then, it jumped right in front of us! Both the guide and we were super excited.

Previously, I participated in a dolphin tour on Oahu, so this time I chose to see manta rays, which I had never seen before.

The crew was incredibly kind, and it was very reassuring to have staff who could speak Japanese.

We hopped on the boat and headed to the manta point!

During the ride, the sunset visible from the boat was stunning and moving. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication from the start, which allowed me to enjoy the trip.

I was splashed with water, and my excitement was at its peak!

Upon arriving at the spot, I held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. It was a bit cold in the water during that time, but the guide checked on me several times, asking if I was okay.

When I actually saw the manta rays, the impact was incredible, and I was very moved. They were so close that I was really worried about accidentally touching them, but I was desperate to take photos.

On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, and there was a rather bitter ginger treat, which made me happy. This ginger was really delicious!

Since the wetsuits were wet on the way back, a bath towel is absolutely essential.

I spent a precious and happy time gazing at the beautiful starry sky over the dark sea.

ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、ザトウクジラを発見！！
そして目の前での大ジャンプ！
ガイドさんも私達も大興奮でした。

以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、今回は見たことがないマンタにしました。

クルーの方もすごく優しい事、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃる事がとても安心でした。

マンタのポイントまで、船に乗って、GO！

その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。
私は船酔いが酷いので最初から酔い止めを飲んでおいたので楽しく
移動が出来ました。

水しぶきも浴び私のテンションはMAX！

スポットへ到着してサーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。
その間は水の中で少し寒かったのですが、ガイドさんが大丈夫？と何度も声をかけてくれました。

実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。
とにかく近いので触れてしまわないかとてもとても心配でしたが私は写真を撮る事に必死でした。

帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナック、かなり苦いですがジンジャーの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。
このジンジャーがかなり美味しかった！

帰りはウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルは絶対必須です。

真っ暗な海を綺麗な星空を見ながら幸せな貴重な時間を過ごさせていただきました。

Since we went with a plan to meet at the location, I was worried about whether I would easily find the meeting spot, but once I got there, it was very clear. The staff was waiting for us even before the meeting time, which made me feel relieved.

There were only the two of us participating in the tour, so we were able to enjoy ourselves freely. We quickly spotted dolphins and were able to see many of them, which made us very satisfied. Above all, I could feel the staff's love for dolphins. If I had to mention one thing, I regret forgetting to take photos.

Since it was just the two of us, it was helpful that they adjusted the return time for us.

I think we had a wonderful way to spend our time! Thank you very much!

本当にありがとうございました！

all members of are group, which their 6 of us, had a great time. It was exciting to see a whale breach the water and wave her fin seeming to say hi.
