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

Crew members were great, accommodated 6 toddlers very well! Friendly and professional. Great live music and guided tour. Food was excellent and we got to see a school of dolphins swim along with us! Would recommend for sure!

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな（笑）。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない（または伝統料理を食べたことがない）なら、いいとおもいます。

The front seat of the doorless helicopter was by the window.
The endless expanse of lava fields.
The active crater is still erupting.
Since it was daytime, I couldn't see the bright red lava very well, but the long-awaited aerial journey to the ocean entry was amazing!!

お昼間なので真っ赤な溶岩はあまり見れませんでしたが、念願のオーシャンエントリーまでの空の旅は最高でした！！

"Riding out into the bay" means we're already in the Pacific Ocean! While I was wondering if it was really okay, under the excellent guidance of our guide, we smoothly paddled the kayak and successfully tackled the challenge of exploring the caves. After the kayak tour, we returned to Keauhou Bay for snorkeling. I lost track of time as I became completely absorbed in snorkeling with the many fish swimming among the corals. If you look closely, there are people along the shore of Keauhou Bay, but in the middle of the bay, it was just the two of us, which made for an incredibly luxurious activity that left us very satisfied.

「湾の外に乗り出す」って、もうそこは太平洋！本当に大丈夫かななんて思いながらも、ガイドさんの見事な指導のもと、悠然とカヤックを進め、洞窟へのチャレンジも見事にこなしました。カヤックツアーの後はケアウホウ湾に戻ってシュノーケリング。サンゴの間に泳いでいるたくさんの魚と一緒に時間のたつのも忘れてシュノーケルに夢中になっていました。よく見ると、ケアウホウ湾の岸辺には人がいますが、ワンの真ん中はうちの夫婦二人の独占で、なんとも贅沢なアクティビティに大満足でした。

Very exciting to see the dolphins on our outing as well as the tropical fish below. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided lots of info on what we were seeing! Excellent outing.

It felt like a private tour since it was just the two of us. Our guide, Kevin, was very kind and great. However, the weather was not ideal, and it was disappointing that we couldn't enter the sea caves during the tour due to the rough waves. We also didn't see any dolphins... well, it can't be helped; it's due to the weather.

私達夫婦だけだったのでプライベートツアーみたいでした。
ガイドのケビンさんはとても親切で良かったです。
ただ、天候がイマイチで、波が荒く海中洞窟ツアーだったのに、入れなかったのが残念でした。
イルカも見えなかったし・・まあ、仕方ないですね、天候のせいですから。

Paddling through the vast ocean in a sea kayak was a bit intimidating at first, but once I got on, the sea, the waves, and the refreshing breeze felt absolutely wonderful. The scenery on the Big Island of Hawaii is stunning, and as I moved forward in front of the gentle slopes of Mauna Loa, it became the best experience to float in the ocean with such magnificent nature before my eyes.

大海原をシーカヤックで進む・・というのはちょっと恐怖を覚えましたが、いざ乗ってみると海と波と気持ちよい風がとっても気持ちよかったです。ハワイ島は景色が最高で、マウナロアのなだらかな斜面を前にして前進していきます。あんな大きな自然を目の前に海に漂うのは最高の経験となります。

My first snorkeling experience with dolphins was exhilarating. We traveled to the spot by boat, and the weather was perfect, making the journey even more enjoyable! Once we arrived, the guide observed the dolphins' movements and chose the best spot for us to dive in. Dolphins swam right in front of us, and as I looked around, I spotted a mother and baby dolphin below me. They even came close to me, which was incredibly exciting. The guide swam with the dolphins, and it was truly amazing. I definitely want to do this again when I visit the Big Island!

初のイルカとのシュノーケリング、ワクワクで参加。
ポイントまで、ボードで移動。天気にも恵まれて移動中も気分は最高‼️
ポイントについて、ガイドの方がイルカの動きを見て、ベストな所でダイブイン。目の前をイルカが通過したり、周りをキョロキョロしてると、自分の下の方に親子連れのイルカがいたり、自分の近くまで近寄ってきたりと大興奮です。ガイドの方は、イルカと一緒に泳いだりしていて、本当に凄かった。
またハワイ島に行ったらやりたいと思いました。

Everything was a first experience! My two daughters, one in third grade and the other over 20, teamed up while my husband and I paired up to challenge ourselves with kayaking. Although we didn't progress as smoothly as we hoped (it was quite physically demanding), it was very fun and interesting! The view of the land from the sea was also amazing! However, at the beginning, the staff reminded us to apply sunscreen properly, but I didn't have any with me, so I just applied it before leaving in the morning. By the evening, my shoulders, legs, and forehead were bright red and a bit painful. Make sure to carry sunscreen with you!

何もかもが初体験！小学3年と20歳を超えた娘2人がペアーを組んで、私と旦那が組んで それぞれカヤックに挑戦。思うように進まないものの、(結構体力は使いましが)とても楽しくおもしろかったです（笑）海から見る陸の景色も最高！ただ、始めにスタッフの人が 日焼け止めをしっかり塗って下さい！っと言っていたのですが、日焼け止めを持ち歩いてなかったので、朝出かける前に塗ったまま参加。夜には肩や足 おでこが真っ赤になって少し痛い思いをしました。日焼け止めは持ち歩いて（笑）

The trip took too long time for nothing, visiting some stores which mean wasting time & money! also you can't see that much Lava in the morning!!! only the smoke! The guide was too knowledge but talking a lot which cause me headache! Since the tour started till finished he was talking no relaxing! after we finish the park he took us to the mall for 45 min!! It's totally wasting time, I prefer to go by car alone and see a lot of sight rather than this tour!!

We enjoyed the Island Breeze Luau. We were seated with a great group of people and enjoyed talking with them.. The show was very well done. The fire dancer at the end was especially good. The food was very good and had a lot of choices on the buffet.

It was a great snorkeling experience. They did a great job all around. Seeing Dolphins is a guarantee. They hang out just off the coast on the way to and from the snorkeling location. The food they served was great and included (breakfast/lunch). They provide some drinks for free with the food. Any smoothies or alcoholic drinks you must pay for and there is a bar on the boat for that. They provide rash gaurds, towels, fins, snorkels, various floatation devices (noodles, boards, etc...). I did start feeling a little sea sick and missed out the last 15 min of water time before we headed back. So I would recommend taking some Dramamine if you get motion sickness.

We used this for our honeymoon! We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village and also made reservations for a show.

We had booked premium seats, but after reading reviews, we learned that if you don't arrive early, you won't get good seats. So even though the meeting time was 5 PM, we arrived at 4:45 PM. We were guided to the very front of the long table, right in front of the stage. The seating is really based on the order of arrival. If you want to see up close, it's better to line up early!

They also guided us to the food quickly, so we were able to eat without waiting! However, since it was a buffet, if others who were not in the premium seats were still on their first round, it was hard to go back for seconds. So if you're a big eater, I think it's better to take two plates at once!

Drinks were ordered at the table, which was convenient! Most of the options were cocktails, and my husband only had Corona beer.

The narration for the show was all in English! If you don't understand English, you won't have any idea what they are talking about. It was really just for viewing. My husband didn't understand any English, so it felt like just watching the show for him.

ハネムーンで使用しました！ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジに宿泊し、ショーの予約もしました。
プレミアム席の予約をしていましたが、クチコミをみてその中で早めに行かないといい席にならないとのことだったので17時集合でしたが16:45には集合しました。長机の一番前、ステージ真ん前へ案内してもらいました。席の案内は本当に来た順です。真ん前でみたいのであれば早めに並んだ方がいいですよ！
料理も早めに案内してくれたので、待たず食べることができました！ただ、ビュッフェですが2回目を取りにいくには他の人がまだプレミアム席ではない人がまだ1回目だと全然取りにいけないので、ものすごく食べる方は2皿持っていった方がいいと思います！
ドリンクは席での注文なので楽でした！ほとんどカクテルばかりで旦那はコロナビールオンリーでした。
ショーのナレーションは全て英語！英語がわからないと何を話しているか全くわからず。本当に鑑賞のみです。旦那は英語が全くわからなかったので、ショーのみって感じでした。

It was my first kayaking experience under the guidance of the staff, and I managed to make it to the open water without capsizing. I also enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful waters of Hawaii Island. Although I didn't encounter any dolphins, it was a wonderful experience! Thank you!

スタッフの方の指導の下、初めてのカヤック体験でしたがどうにか転覆せずに沖まで行くことが出来て、綺麗なハワイ島の海でシュノーケリングも楽しめて、イルカには逢えなかったけど、とてもいい経験になりました！ありがとうございました！

Reserving with a higher budget was definitely the right choice! I was able to see a powerful show from the front row, which was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and even took videos on my phone, allowing me to create great memories. The meal was also very satisfying, leaving me completely full. 😊

予算を高い方で予約したのは大正解でした！
最前列で迫力のあるショーを見る事ができてとても良かったです。スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで携帯で動画を撮ってくださり良い思い出を残す事が出来ました。食事もお腹いっぱいになるほどで大満足でした(^^)v

I was really able to swim with dolphins! On the day I participated, we encountered dolphins right after the boat left the port. I was surprised to see dolphins swimming in such a place! Under the guidance of Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we positioned the boat well and entered the water, but it was challenging to avoid splashing when entering. Timing for the dolphins to come was also tricky, so it seems important to keep your face in the water and look around while you're in the sea. There were two divers, but I think practicing to swim to some extent beforehand would allow you to swim more with the dolphins. The baby dolphins were jumping on the surface and were incredibly cute! Above all, when I heard the dolphins' voices underwater, it felt mystical. I can't guarantee it, but they really work hard to help you swim with the dolphins, so I believe it's definitely worth participating if you want to swim with them!

本当にイルカと泳ぐことができました！
今回参加した日は港から船が出たすぐの部分でイルカに会うことができました。こんなところで自然のイルカが泳いでるの！？とビックリしました。イルカ大好きダイスケさんの指示のもと船を良い部分に付けて海に降りるのですが、着水時に水しぶきが出ないようにしなければいけずそれが難しかったです。イルカが来るタイミングも難しいので海にいるときは常に顔を水につけてキョロキョロすることが大事みたいです。ダイバーさんは二人いましたがある程度泳げるように練習しておくとよりイルカと泳げると思います。イルカは赤ちゃんイルカがたくさん水面を跳ねててとても可愛かったです！何より海の中でイルカの声を聞けたときは神秘的なものを感じました。絶対とは言いませんがイルカと泳げるようかなり頑張ってくれるのでイルカと泳ぎたい方はぜひ参加する価値ありだと思います！

We were able to enjoy ourselves fully as adults because the staff also took care of the children and grandmother. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff. We had the chance to meet many dolphins and had enough time to swim, creating the best memories!

子供と祖母の面倒も見て頂けたので大人も存分に楽しめて、素敵なスタッフさん達に感謝です。
沢山のイルカに出会える事が出来て、十分な時間泳げ最高の思い出が作れました！

This was my second time at the luau show, and both adults and children enjoyed it. Among the performances, the fire dance was particularly impressive and definitely worth seeing.

今回で2回目のルアウショーでしたが、大人も子供も楽しめました。
その中でもファイヤーダンスは見応えがあり、一見の価値ありです。

It's the last one~
This time, I only went to Hawaii Island, but I was able to relax a lot.
I participated in a submarine tour, and it was a really great experience!

さいごです〜
今回、Hawaii island だけだったんですが、とても ゆっくり 出来ました。
潜水艦のツアーに参加してとても良い経験させていただきましたよ！

On November 6th, I participated with a friend, just the two of us. We are in our late 30s. It was my first time kayaking, but I was able to paddle smoothly right away. I thought we would be experiencing it in a bay, but we headed straight out into the open sea. I was a bit surprised, but I didn't feel scared at all.

I also enjoyed snorkeling in a place where no one else was around. You can get some really cool photos too. I just wish we could have seen some dolphins! It was perfect.

You might want to be a little careful about sunburn and seasickness. :) But it was very refreshing and fun!

11月6日に、友人と２人で参加しました。30代後半です。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、すぐにスイスイと漕ぐことができました。湾の中で体験する感じかなぁと思っていたら、がんがん大海原へ。ちょっとびっくりしましたが、こわい思いは全くしなかったです。
誰もいない場所でのシュノーケリングも満喫。かっこいい写真もたくさん撮ってもらえますよ。あとは、イルカに会えたら！カンペキでした。
日焼けと船酔いにはちょっと注意かも。:) でもとても気持ちよくて楽しかったです。

Very clean and comfortable helicopter. Pilot had a great soundtrack and was very good at making sure we all got a good view of everything. Staff was efficient and knowledgeable.

We enjoyed the flight a lot. The flight without doors is realy special. The pilot flight direct over the crater with magna and we can made beautiful pictures and feel the cold wind and the hot magna!

I was able to see so many dolphins, and it was very moving and fun. I definitely want to participate next time.

こんなにたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来、とっても感動、楽しかったです。
次回の是非、参加したいです。

Great time , interesting island history, great crew

This is not just about the tour content; it's a bigger issue. I used your service in August, and although I made a proper reservation for four people from Japan, only two reservations were actually confirmed, and the remaining two ended up being walk-ins on the day of the tour. Due to the pricing situation, I emailed Veltra after returning home, but I have been ignored regarding this matter. I will not be using this company in the future.

ツアー内容どうこうの話ではなく、それ以前の問題です。8月にお世話になったのですが、日本からきちんと4名の予約をしていったのに、実際予約が2名分しかとれていなく残りの2名は当日予約になってしまいました。料金の兼ね合いもありveltraさんに帰国後メールを入れましたがそれに関しては無視されています。今後この会社を使うことはありません。

After watching Miho Kanno on television, I really wanted to join a doorless helicopter tour. Before the tour, we received a thorough briefing, which made me feel secure about getting on the helicopter. Since it was my first time in a helicopter, I expected some turbulence, but it felt smooth as if gliding over the water, so I had no anxiety. I was able to see the lava flowing into the ocean and the steam rising, as well as feel the hot winds. Additionally, we had a bird's-eye view of waterfalls like Rainbow Falls, and my family of three is thrilled to have had the best experience of our lives. After the tour, my wife thanked me for giving her the front seat. According to her, the front seat was the best. Next time, I want to let my daughter sit there. I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends. Thank you very much.

菅野美穂さんのテレビを見て、どうしても扉なしのヘリツアーに参加したくなりました。ツアー前に丁寧にブリーフィングしていただき、安心してヘリに乗ることができました。初めてのヘリでしたので、揺れることを予想していましたが、水面を滑るような感じで不安はありませんでした。期待していた海に溶岩が流れ込み水蒸気が立ち上るところや溶岩の流れ、その熱風を肌で感じることができました。さらに、レインボーフォールなどの滝を俯瞰することができ、人生最高の体験をできたと家族3人喜んでいます。ツアー後、妻から前の席を譲ってくれてありがとうと感謝されました。妻曰く、前の席は最高だったよとのことです。今度は娘に座らせてあげたいです。友人にも是非紹介したいツアーです。ありがとうございました。

I've done 3 or 4 luaus in my day. This was the best. The service was top notch. I had one of the attendees watch my infant son while we went for food. My 4 year old daughter danced up a storm while watching the professional dancers and the other patrons where kind beyond belief.

Could not have gotten a better experience.

We participated as a family, and on that day, it was just us. We were informed that the sea was in the best condition with no wind since the morning, and it was very reassuring that they spoke to us in Japanese. I had read in reviews that some people get seasick, so I took motion sickness medicine, but I ended up feeling sick myself. The kids were paddling slowly, and we couldn't reach our destination... However, after returning, we were able to snorkel and see beautiful fish, which made us very satisfied. Since it was an early morning plan, we were able to play at a nearby beach on our way back, making the day feel very long and enjoyable.

家族で参加したのですが、その日は、私達だけで、
朝から風もなく海はベストな状態と教えていただき、日本語で話していただけるので、とても安心でした。
口コミで、酔う事があると書き込みがあったので、酔い止めを飲んでたのですが、私が酔ってしまい、
子供たちの漕ぐスピードか遅くて、目的地までたどり着けませんでした…でも戻って来てからのシュノーケルでは、綺麗な魚も観れて、大満足でした。
早朝プランだったので、帰りに近くのビーチでも遊んで1日をとても長く使えて、良かったです。

What a wonderful guided tour. Staff so helpful and fun to hang with. Perfect spot to just snorkel and watch fish and coral reef below. Enough time for snorkeling allowed. Would recommend to anyone.

I was deeply moved to encounter so many dolphins. My 7-year-old daughter went snorkeling for the first time, and thanks to the incredibly kind support from Daisuke and Keiko, we were able to have the best time. Our whole family was so touched that we can't express it in words. We are very grateful to Captain Nawata for all his help, to all the guides we met, and to the nature of the Big Island. Thank you for everything.

沢山のイルカに出会うことができとっても感動しました。7歳の娘は初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、ダイスケさんとけいこさんのとっても優しいサポートのお陰で最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
家族全員とにかく感動で、言葉では言い表すことができない位です。
船長の縄田さんにもとってもお世話になり、ガイドの皆さんに出会えたこと、ハワイ島の自然、全てに感謝申し上げます。
