All Reviews for For 2 Year Olds

show was awesome
meal was not the best
we included transportation from Waikiki..ambassador did no entertainment on the bus

The weather was great, and we were able to see a lot of whales in a perfect location! There were many mother and calf whales, and we were captivated by the gentle commentary in English. We also got to see spouts and jumps, which had everyone applauding! It might depend on the weather and luck, but this day was filled with both, making it one of my best memories! ✨

天気も良く、絶好のロケーションで沢山のクジラを見る事ができました！
母子クジラが多く、優しい解説のアナウンス(英語)と共に見入りました。
潮吹きやジャンプも見る事が出来て、その時は皆が拍手喝采でした(^^)
天気と運による所もあるかも知れませんが(^^;)
この日は天気も運も良く、最高の思い出の１つになりました✨

It was a day when the weather was a bit concerning, but it didn't rain during the tour. I was able to fully enjoy it. Towards the end, there was a heavy downpour and thunderstorms. It was an unforgettable experience. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance.

天候が、少し気になる日でしたが。ツアー中は雨降らず。堪能できました。
終了間際から豪雨。雷雨。忘れられない体験でした。また機会があればもう一度体験したいと思います。

I boarded on March 4th. The whale I was looking forward to seeing only showed its tail far in the distance, so I can only say I saw it once. Previously, when I saw whales on Maui, they were right in front of me, so I had high expectations, but it was disappointing to see it like that. I understood 99 percent of the meaning. If you want to see whales, you should go to Maui.

３月4日に乗船しました。楽しみにしていた鯨は、はるか遠くで一度しっぽがみえただけで見たということになりました。以前、マウイ島で見たときはすぐ目の前で見れたので、期待していたのですが、あれで見たといのは残念です。99パーセントの意味がわかりました。
鯨を見たいのであれば、マウイ島に行くべきですね。

I was picked up near the hotel, and I think it was great to participate in this tour because if we had to go on our own, it would have taken a whole day, and we wouldn't have been able to get there just by the trolley.

Also, having a Japanese guide was very helpful as I could ask about the lockers and how to enjoy the place!

We’re not very good with thrilling rides, but we rode all the slides! The available slides change depending on the time, so we took breaks to nap, sunbathe, and take photos. The scariest one was the yellow single-person tube slide that drops almost at a 90-degree angle! If you like the feeling of floating, I recommend it! The appearance, height, and speed of that slide are, in my opinion, number one!

The slide that was both scary and fun, which we rode multiple times, was the one that looks like a red bucket, where you can ride with 2 to 4 people! If there aren’t enough people, you can ride with others around you, and even if there’s a language barrier, the lifeguards will help you! The feeling of floating, the sensation of falling backward, and the thrill of knowing you’re about to drop, along with the comfort of sharing the experience with someone else, was really great!

I ended up riding it multiple times! However, climbing the stairs was a bit challenging since the slides are high up. But it wasn't too crowded, so we could ride quickly and at our own pace, which was nice! The fun of the pool, which you can't find in Japan, makes it exciting whether you go with just two people or a large group. The beautiful scenery and the Hawaiian vibe made me want to go again!

ホテルの近くまで迎えに来ていただいて
ツアーにしなければ遠くて自分たちで行くと考えると1日かかってしまったり
トロリーだけでは行けないので
タクシーなどの移動手段を考えなければ行けなかったので今回のツアーに参加出来てとても良かったと思います！！

また日本人のガイドさんがいらしたので
ロッカーの事や楽しみ方を聞くことができてとても参考になりました！！！

私たちはあまり絶叫が得意ではなかったのですが全部のスライダーに乗りました！
時間によって出来るスライダーが違うので
途中休憩してお昼寝や肌を焼いたり
写真を撮って楽しみました。
1番怖かったのは黄色いひとり用の浮き輪にのってほぼ90度で落ちるスライダーです！！
浮いた感じが好きな人はおススメですね笑
周りから叫び声が聞こえるほど見た目も
高さも速さもスライダーではNo. 1だと思います！
怖くてけど楽しくて何回も乗ったのは
赤いバケツのようなスライダーで
2〜4人で乗ります！人数が足りなかったら周りの人と乗ったり言葉が通じなくても
監視員の人が助けてくれます！！
浮く感じ、後ろから落ちる感じ、
もうすぐ落ちるって言うどきどき感
誰かと一緒にいる安心感と面白いを共有しながら出来るのが凄くいいと思いました！！
ついつい何回も乗りました！！
けどスライダーが高い所から落ちる分
階段を登るのは少し大変でした！
しかしそんなに混んでいなかったので
すぐに乗れたり自分のペースで出来たのがよかったですね！！！日本にはないプールの面白さで2人で行くのも大人数で行くのも盛り上がるし写真も撮っていて綺麗な景色、ハワイ感が出てまた行きたいと思いました！！

This time, we visited Hawaii for a wedding, so my family was with me. I thought it would be nice to show my grandmother some whales, so I decided to join the tour. According to the reviews, there were many negative comments about not being able to see any whales, so I had about 30-50% expectations, but we were able to see them over and over again! It became the best memory.

今回は、挙式でハワイに訪れたので家族も一緒でした。おばあちゃんにクジラを見せてあげたいなぁ〜〜と思いツアー参加を決めました。
口コミによると、見れなかったなどマイナスな感想だらけでしたので、30〜50%くらいの期待でしたが、何回も何回も見ることが出来ました！最高な思い出になりました。

I wasn't expecting much since I was told that we might not see any, but I was very satisfied to see many whales and to be able to watch them multiple times. The boat was also good. It was difficult to have lunch because the boat swayed, so it's best to eat early.

今回は、見れないかもしれないといわれていたので期待はしていなかったのですが、沢山のｸｼﾞﾗが出てきてくれて、何回も見ることとが出来とても満足です。
船もよかったです。ﾗﾝﾁは早い目に取らないと船が揺れるので難しかったです。

The weather wasn't great and it was cold, but it was good that it didn't rain. I was happy to see whales a few times!

天気が良くなくて寒かったですが、雨は降らなかったので良かった。
クジラは数回見れて良かったです！

Water parks are just plain fun, aren't they? With such a vast area, you can enjoy it for a whole day or just half a day, depending on your stamina. The coin lockers accept credit cards (there are machines that do and don't accept them, so be sure to choose one that does). The admission ticket came with a voucher that can be used as a discount ticket when you spend a certain amount at the shop.

理屈抜きでウォーターパークは楽しいですよね。広大な敷地なので体力次第で一日でも半日でも遊べます。コインロッカーはクレジットカード対応（対応している機械と対応していない機械がありますが、対応している方を選ぶ）してくれてます。入場券には売店で一定額以上利用すると割引券として使えるチケットが付いていました。

My wife and I went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!

In the morning, I was a bit worried because it was very early, but the guide arrived on time and was very energetic, so I didn't get bored on the bus. We were able to jump from the boat and see dolphins, and the local staff, who are also professional hula dancers, showed us wonderful hula dances on the boat.

There were some people who got seasick, but the hamburgers they made on the boat were simple yet delicious! I felt like I wanted to swim more in the ocean, but it was a lot of fun.

朝、とても早かったので少し心配でしたが、ガイドさんも遅れずに来てもらえし、朝から、とても元気なガイドさんだったので、バスでも退屈しませんでした。　船から、飛び込み、イルカを見ることもできましたし、フラダンスのプロでもある現地スタッフの方々が船の上で素敵なフラダンスも見せてくれました。
船酔いされていた方もいらっしゃいましたが、船の上で作ってくれた、ハンバーガーはとても素朴でしたが美味しかったです！　もっと海で泳ぎたかった気もしますが、とても楽しかったです。

When we arrived by bus, it was still before opening time, so we waited in front of the entrance. There were various attractions like slides, and we had a good time overall, but since it wasn't very crowded, we ended up having some extra time until the meeting time for our return.

バスで現地に着くと開園時間がまだだったので入り口前で待ちました。スライダー等、いろいろとあったので一通り楽しめましたが、そんなに混んでいなかったので帰りの集合時間まで少し時間をもてあましてしまいました。

Since it was early February, it was a bit less crowded, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. The shuttle service was provided in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Just a note that you can't bring in juice, but you can bring in water bottles.

2月上旬ということもあり、少し空いており十分楽しめました。送迎も日本語で行なっていただけて、わかりやすかったです。
ジュースは持ち込めず、水飲み持ち込み可なところだけ注意です。

The ship was large and had a relaxed atmosphere. The buffet was delicious. There was live music throughout the journey, which was pleasant and wonderful. I was able to see the whales spouting water multiple times, swimming, and diving with their tails up. It was exciting to wonder where they would appear and how long they would show themselves. However, the distance to the whales made it hard to feel their grandeur. I saw them several times, and it was great to see a mother and calf swimming together.

船は大きくてゆったりした感じ。
ビュッフェも美味しかったです。
乗船中ずーと生演奏の歌があり心地よく素敵でした。
クジラは何回も潮を吹いているところや泳いでいるところ、しっぽを上げて潜るところをみれました。どこに現れるかどのくらい見せてくれるか、はらはらドキドキでした。
ただクジラまで距離があり、クジラの迫力は感じられませんでした。
何回も見られたし、親子で泳いでいるのも見れたのでとても良かったです。

Nice ride, kind staff. No whales. There was a promise to have a free new cruise if whales were not spotted, but I did not see the lady, who had to organise that. So, bit disappointing all in all

I participated with my parents. There was a problem with the hotel pickup (it was because we couldn't speak English...), and we got separated from my parents. Additionally, my son's luggage went missing (laughs). However, thanks to the prompt response from the staff, we were able to reunite with my parents and thoroughly enjoy whale watching, seeing whales multiple times. Also, my son's missing luggage was delivered to the hotel. I sincerely thank the staff, especially Emiko, for their help. The meals provided during the trip were ample, and after the watching ended, fresh fruits were added, which made me feel well taken care of.

You don't need to worry if you can't speak English (laughs). I would love to use this service again if I have the chance. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

両親と一緒に参加しました。ホテルピックアップでトラブルがあり(私達が英語が出来なかったせいですが…)両親と離れ離れに、、、更に息子の荷物も行方不明に(笑)しかしスタッフさんの迅速な対応のお陰で両親とも合流でき、ホエールウォッチングも満喫、クジラも何度も見ることが出来ました。そして、行方不明になっていた息子の荷物もホテルまで届けていただきました。日本人スタッフの恵美子さん他、スタッフ方々に心から御礼申し上げます。乗船中の食事は十分用意されていますし、ウォッチングが終わった後にはフルーツ等が新たに足されて本当に行き届いているなと感じました。
英語が話せなくても大丈夫です。(笑)
機会があればまた利用したいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

We liked the different stops we did. Lunch was awesome we stopped at a new place due to the festival at the town we were suppose to have lunch at. Plane flights were great. Only thing that was negative was the guide tended to repeat herself and kind of bad mouth the US for taking over the Hawaiin Islands. We took this tour on 2/24 with Kats.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but since it's nature, that's understandable. I think it would be amazing if we could see them. Even without seeing whales, you can still enjoy the cruising experience. I definitely recommend bringing binoculars!

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、自然相手なのでそこは仕方ありません。見れたら最高だと思いますよ。クジラが見れなくてもクルージング気分は味わえます。是非、双眼鏡を持参する事をお奨めします！

I participated in a tour on the afternoon of February 26, 2018. The weather was mostly cloudy, which was different from the typical image of Hawaii's skies, but the boat didn't sway much, so I didn't get seasick. As for the whales, perhaps due to the size of the boat, there were limitations on how close we could get. We were able to see them a few times in the distance. The dorsal fin came up, there was a spout, and finally, the tail fin popped up for the finish. Smaller boats from other tours were able to get a bit closer! However, they might have experienced more swaying and seasickness.

At one point, it started to drizzle and it was windy and cold, so we moved to the lounge on the second floor. During times like this, I was glad to be on this boat.

2018.2.26の午後からのツアーに参加しました。天候は曇りがちで、ハワイの空のイメージとは違いどんよりでしたが、船の揺れは少なかったので船酔いは無かったです。肝心のクジラですが、船が大きい分、近づく距離に制限があるのでしょうか？遠くで何回か見ることが出来ました。背びれが浮いてきて、潮吹き、ラストは尾びれがぴょこんと出てきてフィニッシュ。他のツアーの小さい船はもう少し近づいて見れてましたよ！でも船の揺れは大きく船酔いするかもです。
途中小雨が降り風もあり寒かったので、2階ラウンジに移動。こういう時はこちらの船で良かったと思いました。

I participated with my mother. At first, we were in the room where the buffet was set up, but when we stepped outside, the sea breeze felt wonderful. It can get hot if you stay outside for too long, but when you finally see the whales or their spouts, it’s exciting and fun. So, if you decide to participate, I encourage you to actively go outside and enjoy the thrill of the search.

私は母と二人で参加しました。最初は、ビュッフェが用意されている部屋の中におりましたが、一度部屋の外に出て見ると、海の風が気持ちよかったです。
ずっと外にいると暑いですが、いざクジラの姿や潮吹きを見ると興奮しますし、楽しいですよ。なので、参加される場合には、積極的に外に出て、探す楽しさを味わっていただきたいです。

I was disappointed. The waves were high, and many people on the boat got seasick. We didn't see any whales either. I don't recommend this for those who are prone to seasickness.

ガッカリでした。波が高くて船に乗って居られた沢山の方か船酔いをされてました。
鯨も見れませんでした。船酔いの弱い方にはオススメしません。

My driver was so nice and friendly ! I ended up being the only one on the shuttle ! He was so nice and friendly and told me about the island and answers all my questions ! It made my experience very good ! I also changed the time and I again was the only one to get picked up and no problem! They were very nice on the phone as well and it was a great price !

I was able to see the splash and fins, and just a glimpse of the back, but it was great that my child could see them up close once.

Before the watching began, the buffet started all at once, but there weren't enough seats for all the passengers, and since I had children with me, it was quite a hassle. After the meal, there was no rotation, and we had to sit for a long time until the watching started, which made it difficult to enjoy our meal at all. I wish they had ensured enough seating for the number of passengers.

The crew members were all kind and made us feel comfortable.

潮吹きやヒレ、背中が見えた程度でしたが、一度至近距離で子供も見ることができよかったです。
ウォッチング前にいっせいにブュッフェが始まりますが、乗客全員が座れる席がなく、しかも子連れだったので困りました。
食事が終わったら次々と回転することもなく、ウォッチングが始まるまでずっと座っているところもあり、全然ゆっくり食事ができませんでした。
乗客人数の座席を確保された状態にしてほしかったです。
クルーの方たちはみんな親切で気持ちよかったです。

First, regarding the whales, they appeared around the boat multiple times. The loud sound of "pshhuu!!" when they come up from the sea was incredible. I was thrilled to see them right in front of me. However, by the time I pressed the camera shutter, they were gone, making it quite difficult to capture a photo.

The atmosphere inside the boat was relaxed and had a luxurious feel. There were breads, hams to put in the bread, and vegetables. Other offerings included fruits and cookies. Drinks available were coffee and green tea. It was simple, but sufficient.

At the end of the tour, there was a sale of photos taken before boarding the boat and pictures of the whales we actually saw. Inside the boat, there was always live guitar performances. The song selection was good, and I really enjoyed it. I truly felt it was a worthwhile tour!

However, one downside was that the announcements when the whales appeared were made in English first, followed by Japanese. It can't be helped, but by the time the Japanese announcement was made, the whales were already gone.

まず目的のクジラですが、何度も船の周りに現れてくれました。
海の上にでてくるときの、プシュー！！という大きな音。
実際に目の前で見ることができて感激でした。
ただ、カメラのシャッターを押すころにはいなくなってしまって、
写真に撮るのは至難の業かと思われます。

船内もゆったりとした雰囲気でラグジュアリー感もありました。
パンや、パンにはさむハム類、野菜など。
他はフルーツ、クッキー。
飲み物はコーヒー、緑茶。
簡単ではありますが十分です。

ツアーの最後に、船に乗る前に撮った写真と、実際に見たくじらの写真の
販売があります。
船内は常に、ギターの弾き語りの生演奏つき。
選曲もよく、とても楽しめました。
参加してよかった！と心から思えるツアーでした。

ただひとつ難を挙げますと、クジラが出現したときのアナウンスが
英語で行われた後に日本語。仕方ないのですが・・。
日本語の案内が話されているときはすでにクジラはいません。

We participated in the limited-time family campaign with our family of four. We were able to see the whale's spout and tail while enjoying a relaxing time in the second-floor seats. It was a fun experience.

While our family was fine, some members of a nearby family were seasick and were taking medication, so I think it's a good idea to prepare for seasickness.

期間限定ファミリーキャンペーンにつられ、家族4人で参加しました。クジラの潮吹き、尾びれなどが見え、2階席でゆったり過ごしながら、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私達家族は大丈夫でしたが、近くにいらしたご家族の何人かが船酔いをされ薬を飲んでいらしたので、船酔い対策はしておいた方が良いかと思います。

I saw a lot of whales. However, the time they are visible is short, and it's difficult to know where to spot them, so it's hard to take photos.

クジラが沢山見えました。ただ、見える時間が短くどこで見えるかわからないので、写真におさめるのは難しいです。

I couldn't participate in the tour I wanted to join, so I urgently signed up for this one, and it was pretty good. My friend and I joked, "Aren't we going to ride something like a North Korean boat?" but it turned out to be a luxurious ship where we could enjoy a buffet. During our time, they served hamburgers, and we could add vegetables, cheese, and meat as we liked. There were also cookies and fruit. It felt like a light meal, but since eating too much can cause seasickness, it might have been just right.

However, on the day we went (February 18), it was cloudy, then rainy, with strong winds and cold! Even when we took refuge inside the ship, the air conditioning was blasting, making it even colder. I would have appreciated it if they had offered jackets or blankets for rent.

We saw whales three times. I only saw the tail fin, but my friend, who was feeling seasick, said they saw a breach. We also witnessed a pod of dolphins jumping over the waves, which was breathtaking.

I’m glad I could go during the limited period for whale watching. However, it was really cold and uncomfortable, so I hope that can be improved. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

行きたかったツアーに参加できなくなり、至急申し込んだツアーですが、まあまあ良かったです。
同行した友人と「北〇鮮のボートみたいなのに乗るんじゃ？」と話していましたが、豪華な船で、バイキングも食べられました。私たちの時はハンバーガーで、野菜やチーズや肉を好きなように挟めました。あとはクッキーと果物。軽食と言った感じですが、あまり食べ過ぎると船酔いするので、ちょうどいいかもしれません。
しかし、行った日（2月18日）は曇りのち雨で風も強く寒かった！船内に避難するもクーラーガンガンで更に寒かったです。上着やひざ掛けの貸し出しがあれば嬉しかったです。
クジラは3回見られました。私は尾びれだけでしたが、船酔いでつぶれていた友人は、バックジャンプが見られたとのこと。また、イルカの群れが波の上をジャンプしているのも見られて感動しました。
ホエールウォッチングができる期間は限られているということで、この時期に行けて良かったです。
ただ、本当に寒くて不快だったので、それだけ改善していただければと思います。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

I always used to go with THE BUS, but since the bus stop has disappeared, I signed up for this tour for the first time. With a tour, I didn't have to worry about the bus schedule, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. The all-you-can-eat was delicious as well. Please note that the surfing is an experience, not a lesson!

いつもＴＨＥ　ＢＵＳで行っていたのですが、バス停がなくなってしまったためはじめてこのツアーに申し込みました。やはりツアーだとバスの時間を気にしなくていいので安心して参加できました。食べ放題もおいしくいただきました。波乗りはレッスンでなく、体験なのでご注意を！

The whale watch cruise was a great afternoon experience. The catamaran used was in top shape. The tour was not over crowded and the crew took care of everyone's needs. Saw many whales and even some dolphins and sea turtles. Glad the afternoon weather was beautiful which made being out on the open water enjoyable. Definitely do this tour again.

We were very fortunate, we had a lovely sunny day and we saw 3 or 4 whales. The crew were very helpful.The buffet meal was of good variety, tasty food and people were able to return as many times as they wanted. With regard to the whales, as stated in the tour blurbs there are rules about how close the boat can get to the whales because of this and how fast they breach and disappear I would suggest putting the camera aside and fully enjoying the experience with your own eyes, which is quite a thrill.
