All Reviews for Toddler-Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We would definitely recommend and do this again! We had a blast!

The all-you-can-eat snacks and drinks, including alcohol, were great. Meals in Hawaii are quite expensive, so I had been struggling to eat my fill for a while, but this day I had dinner here, and the cocktails were delicious too.

Of course, the cruising was amazing. I've never seen such a beautiful sunset before. A couple of mother and baby whales came close to us! You could only see their backs and tails above the water, but they were adorable. When I went whale watching in Waikiki, I could only see them tiny and far away, so I really appreciated this tour.

I highly recommend it. There was a bit of distance from the hotel to the meeting place, so it was my first time renting a car overseas, but I think driving on the Big Island is relatively easy. I'm glad my debut went well. Thanks to that, I was able to visit various beaches, and I'm grateful for that!

お菓子とアルコール含む飲み物が食べ放題　飲み放題でした。とにかくハワイの食事が高いので　なかなかお腹いっぱい食べれない日が続いていて　この日はここで夕飯がわり　カクテルも美味しくて良かったです。
もちろん　クルージングは　最高でした。あんな綺麗なサンセット今まで見た事ありません。くじらの親子も2組くらい近くに来てくれました！背中と尻尾くらいしか水面から見えませんが　可愛かったです。ワイキキに行った時もホェールウォッチングして来たのですが、ほんと遠くにちっちゃーく見えただけで　あんなものかと思ってただけに　このツアーは良かったーと思います。
おすすめです。ホテルから集合場所までちょっと距離があったので海外初めてのレンタカーでしたが、ハワイ島は運転しやすい方だと思います。デビュー上手く行って良かったです。おかげで、色んなビーチに遊びに行けて
その辺りも感謝してます♪

It was a two and a half hour stage, and I had a great time without getting bored. The food was delicious as well. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I understood English.

２時間半のステージでしたが飽きることなく楽しかったです。
食事も美味しかったです。
英語が分かればもっと楽しめたと思います。

This tour was fantastic from start to finish - from the quaint shop you meet to get on the shuttle to the informative guide to the incredible views, we couldn’t recommend more. Kolehe aka Douglas was our fearless leader who drove us into Waipio Valley and was just the best! So much fun, tons of passion for the island and specific area, and the perfect sense of humor and charm. It was my first off-roading experience, and needless to say, I’m addicted :) Don’t miss out on this awesome tour!

The sea was wonderful, and I enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling. Since there was no transportation provided, it was fine to wear my swimsuit and take an Uber to the meeting point at the hotel parking lot. However, after the tour ended, we dispersed in the parking lot. I had to change in the nearby hotel's restroom without any shower facilities. I really wished there had been at least a simple shower to rinse off the salt, and I would have appreciated having a place to change.

海は素敵でカヤックもシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
送迎がないので水着を着て集合場所のホテルの駐車場までウーバーでいくのは良いのですが、ツアーが終わったあとも、駐車場で解散となりました。着替えはシャワーもないままそばのホテルのトイレでしました。せめて簡易シャワーで塩を落としたかったですし、着替える場所も欲しかったです。

The event was held four times a week, and the schedule worked out well. At the opening, the ceremony where King Kamehameha's group solemnly landed on the ship really enhanced the atmosphere, which was great. The buffet-style food was well-managed by the staff, allowing guests to fill their plates without waiting in line, and during the wait, we could enjoy drinks while watching a mini-show, which was nice. The menu was clearly introduced on the website in advance, featuring many local Hawaiian ingredients and dishes, and the taste was excellent. The hula dance and fire show performed by the young male and female artists were beautiful and impressive. It was a satisfying show.

週4回の開催で日程がうまくとれた。
オープニングで、船に乗ってカメハメハ大王一団が厳かに上陸するセレモニーが雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、よかった。
バイキング形式のお料理は、係員がお客を上手に案内して並ばずに盛り込め、待ち時間中はミニショーを見ながらドリンクがいただけてよかった。お料理の内容も事前にウエブで紹介されわかりやすく、ハワイ特産の素材、料理が多く、味もよかった。
フラダンス、ファイアーショーは演技者の若者男女、美しく、かっこよかった。満足いくショーでした。

Amazing! Our guide spotted a whale right away, and he swam around and around the ship for an hour.

Seeing the difference colored fish. Very informative on fish, life and friendly

It was the evening of the previous day, but I was able to smoothly make a reservation and complete the payment without any issues, allowing me to go whale watching the next morning. However, the meeting point on the map was at a different location from the same agent, which caused quite a bit of panic. Fortunately, a local person kindly explained everything to me, and I was able to make it on time.

前日の夕方でしたがスムーズに予約がとれ支払いも話題なく翌日の朝からホエールウォッチングする事ができましたが集合場所の地図が同じエージェントの別の場所になっておりかなり慌てました。現地の方に丁寧に説明していただき無事まにあいました。

The cruiser was large and the wind was strong, but it was okay. I was moved to see whales swimming to the right and left in front of the boat. However, there were no jumps, and I was a bit disappointed with just the body and tail. But I guess that's nature for you.

Maybe because it was an early morning, I was able to spend the day very leisurely. It was a wonderful experience. The staff were also very kind and it was a lot of fun.

クルーザーも大きく風が強かったがまあまあでした。
鯨も舟の先へと右へと左へとみることが出来感動でした。でもジャンプ等はなく胴体しっぽなどで少々期待外れ。でも相手は自然界しょうがないですね。
朝が早かったせいか、１日がゆっっくりと過ごせました。
とても素晴らしい経験でした。スタッフの方々もとても親切で楽しかったです。

We had a great time on our tour. Our driver/guide Kaleo, who is from Waipio Valley was very informative and funny. Kaleo stopped to let us out so we could get a better view of Hiilawe waterfall. We also saw several wild horses up close The check-in at the gallery was easy and a great place to browse while waiting (we arrived early) We highly recommend this tour. We felt sorry for the people who decided to walk down because the walk back up is very steep.

I thought it would be about two hours, but it ended up being close to three hours, which was enjoyable. However, for the first two hours or so, the host's talk and performances delayed the start of the actual Hawaiian show. It might be a reminder to take it easy and enjoy Hawaiian time. The show itself wasn't much different from what I've seen outside of Hawaii.

２時間ほどかと思っていたら、３時間近くあって長く楽しめた。ただ、最初の２時間くらいは、司会者の話と演奏でなかなか、本来のハワイアンショーが始まらない。せかせかせず、ハワイタイムを過ごせということかも知れないが。
ショー自体は、Hawaii以外で観たものと、あまり変わりは無かった。

I signed up for whale watching for the first time. The guide spoke English and explained everything very clearly, so I was able to enjoy the time until we reached the point where we could see the whales without getting bored. We happened to encounter a mother and baby whale, and since they were right beneath the boat, I was lucky to see the whole thing. It was great that there were drinks available, including alcohol.

初めてホエールウォッチングに申し込みました。
英語のガイドでしたが、とても分かりやすく説明してくださって、クジラが見えるポイントまで飽きずに過ごせました。
たまたま親子のクジラにも遭遇出来て、船の真下にいたので、全体も見えてラッキーでした。
飲み物もアルコールがあって、とても良かったです。

It was my first time on a helicopter. I boarded it thanks to the opportunity provided by "Tōdai Ō." We were blessed with great weather, with no wind or clouds, making it a very elegant journey.
It was quite a distance from Kona, and the round trip was challenging. However, I highly recommend it as we got to see the crater from above, as well as the beautiful ocean and ʻōhiʻa lehua. It was an exhilarating two hours from start to finish.

人生初のヘリコプターでした。東大王がきっかけに搭乗しました。お天気に恵まれ、風も雲も無く、とても優雅な旅になりました。
コナから距離があり、往復は大変でした。ですが、火口を上空から眺めたり、綺麗な海やオヒアレフアを見れたり、おすすめです。終始大興奮の2時間でした。

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

It was the best time ever.
Our guide was super excited!
Seeing sea turtles, dolphins, and whales was a miracle.
Thank you for the most wonderful honeymoon!

最高な一時でした。
ガイドさんも大興奮‼︎
海亀イルカ鯨を全部見出来たのは奇跡でした。
最幸な新婚旅行をありがとうございました‍♂️

This is a great way to see Waipio Valley. This was out first time, so it was a great introduction. Hector, our guide, was very knowledgeable, polite, and really helped make the tour great. We only had a short time to see Waipio Valley, and this was a perfect introduction. The value was great. We got to see a large portion of the valley, made several stops along the way along with some interpretive explanations, and saw a lot. I highly recommend this tour, either as one time to see Waipio Valley, or as an introduction before venturing out on your own.

A trip into Waipi’o Valley with Douglas as your guide is a time travel to another time. His family is of this place so Douglas understands and shares the insiders perspective, with the added bonus of having access to the valley past the “End of Country Road” sign. Also if you aren’t up for the knee pounding descent and lung busting climb in and out of the valley this is the way to go. Worth mentioning this tour does not go to the beach, It instead works it’s way toward the back of the valley. Definitely a worth while event.

Awesome trip. The driver was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained. I would highly recommend booking the tour as you get the history along with the beautiful sights. We were given alfalfa to feed the wild horses as well as some fresh coconut to eat

This tour was fun and informative. Hele, our guide, took the time to explain the history of the valley, what grows there and who lives there. He was friendly and personable. We didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed it very much! We are so glad we did it!

Great time getting close to beautiful humpback whales ! The tour was well organized, the boat was comfortable and perfect for viewing whales, and the crew was very informative, knowledgeable, and very attentive to everyone’s needs. Really great job !! My wife and I loved it !

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.

Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.

It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.

船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。

参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。

あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

We participated as a family of four. The crew members were all friendly and attentive, making it a comfortable experience. The sunset was beautiful, and we were thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins!

家族４人で参加しました。クルーの方々がみんな気さくで気がつき、快適でした。
サンセットも綺麗だったし、イルカの群れに遭遇して、感動しました！

On the day of the activity, the weather was nice, and we started a little earlier than planned at 7 AM. It was my first experience kayaking, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so I was able to paddle without any issues. The sunrise was beautiful, and it felt great. We also went to a cave, which was thrilling and a lot of fun. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

当日、天候も良く、予定より少し早い7時からスタートしました。カヤックは初めての経験でしたが、ガイドさんに優しく丁寧に教えていただき、問題なく漕げました。朝日が綺麗で、気持ち良かった。洞窟にも行けました。そこはスリル満点で楽しかったです。また機会があれば乗ってみたいです。

I was really lucky to meet dolphins and whales. However, the waves were rough that day, and I got seasick... I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカやくじらに会うこともできて本当にラッキーでした。
ただその日は波が荒く船酔いに…酔い止めお勧めします

Unforgettable experience. Amazing views. Excellent services.

I learned how to surf in English and was able to catch waves right away, which was fun. They also took photos of me.
I recommend wearing a long-sleeve rash guard. I wore a short-sleeve one and ended up getting sunburned.

I signed a waiver at the office and learned about paddling and how to stand up.

Since we were supposed to travel to the lesson location individually, I was thinking of calling a taxi, but a family from LA who was participating in the lesson with me offered me a ride. They seemed to like Japan, and the dad was wearing a T-shirt with Japanese writing on it. I was lucky!

サーフィンを英語で教えてもらいながらしました。すぐ波に乗れて楽しかったです。写真も撮ってくれました。
ラッシュガードは長袖をおすすめします。私は半袖だったので、日焼けしてしまいました。

オフィスで誓約書にサインしたり、パドリングや立ち方を教わりました。

レッスン場所までの移動は各々でということだったので、TAXiを呼ぼうと思ったら、一緒にレッスンに参加していたLAのアメリカ人の御家族が乗せてくれました。日本のことが好きみたいで、パパさんは日本語が書かれていたTシャツを来てました。運が良かった！

There weren't many fish, and the colors were not very vibrant, which was a bit disappointing, but I had a good experience. Thank you.

魚があまりいなく、色もカラフルでなく若干残念でしたが、良い体験はできました。ありがとうございました・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

It seems that the weather is usually calm, but there happened to be strong winds, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, which made me feel seasick (I'm prone to motion sickness, and I had taken medication for it...). Everyone else seemed to be fine, though.

The sea breeze was very refreshing, and once we got further out, we could see the beautiful view of Mauna Kea. At first, we could only see it from a distance, but just before we returned, a whale came close to us, and it was an emotional moment. A foreign staff member was sending some kind of signal underwater to attract the whales. It was a precious experience!

普段は穏やからしいですが、たまたま風が強く、結構船が揺れて酔ってしまいました（私は酔いやすい方で酔い止めは飲んでいたのですが…）。他は皆さん大丈夫そうでした。
とても気持ちいい海風で、沖へ出ると、マウナケアの山の景色がきれいに見れました。
初めは少し遠目にしか見れませんでしたが、帰り間際に至近距離でクジラが来てくれて、感動しました。外国人スタッフの方が、クジラを呼び寄せる信号？みたいなのを海中で送ってくれてました。貴重な体験でした！

We did the ATV/waterfall Tour as a 4 rider with my husband and my 4 and 8 year old daughters. We wanted excitement and fully expected that to come with some dirt/mud. It did not disappoint! And thankfully they have warm showers available to clean up after. You have options to ride on a quad solo or in a Razor 4x4 vehicle with 2 or 4 passengers. There had been much rain which made challenges for the trails, but the guides worked it out and made sure it was a good time. Andres and Rudy (sorry if I didn’t spell that right) were great. They were very helpful with the small kids making sure they were safe. Due to the extensive and prolonged rain we weren’t able to play in the waterfall, which was a disappointment since that was something we were really looking forward too, but understandable. I wish we would have also done the zip lines and giant swing. Both Looked awesome! Next time for sure!

Tip: wear closed toed water shoes so they can be easily washed off and dried.
