All Reviews for For 2 Year Olds

This was my second time whale watching, and although the number of whales was few, we were still able to see some. Above all, the staff member who generously applied sunscreen was very friendly, constantly asking if I wanted a beer or a refill, which made the experience enjoyable. My friend who came along was also pleased, so I think this is one of the classic tours in Honolulu. I highly recommend it.

ホエールウォッチングは2回目ですが、今回も数は少ないながら鯨を見ることができました。何より日焼け止めをたっぷり塗ったスタッフのおっちゃんがビールは飲むか?ビールのおかわりはどうだ?と、しきりに気を遣ってくれたのがとてもフレンドリーで楽しい気持ちになりました。連れて行った友達も喜んでくれたので、定番のホノルルツアーの1つかと思います。お勧めです。

The staff were very energetic, and although I participated alone, I had a great time. I hesitated to join the snorkeling time because it was a bit cold, but I decided to go for it, and it was the right choice! I was able to capture a sea turtle swimming right below me on camera! It might be good to have marine shoes for snorkeling. It can be a bit painful on your feet if you're barefoot from the sandbar to the snorkeling point.

スタッフさんたちもとても元気で、１人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。シュノーケリングタイムはちょっと寒くてやめようか迷いましたが、思いきって参加して正解❗自分の真下を泳ぐ海亀をカメラにおさめることが出来ました❗ シュノーケリングはマリンシューズがあるといいかもしれません。サンドバーからシュノーケリングのポイントまで、裸足だとちょっと足が痛いです。

The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.

This was my second time at Sandbar, and the weather was great this time! The water was perfect, and we had so much fun playing beach volleyball together! After that, we went snorkeling at a coral reef while searching for sea turtles! We were able to spot a honu and saw so many fish; I couldn't be more satisfied! The hamburgers for lunch were also very filling and delicious! I definitely want to join again next time :)

サンドバーは2回目でしたか、今回は天気も良く最高でした！！水面は股下からいで、みんなで楽しくビーチバレーもできてめっちゃ楽しかったです！そのあとはウミガメを探しながらシュノーケリングのできるサンゴ礁へ！ホヌも見つけられて、魚もたくさん見れて満足しかないです！ランチのハンバーガーもボリュームたっぷりでとても美味しかったです！また次回も参加したいです:）

The trip was fabulous! The crew is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They keep you informed, entertained and fed (I liked the burger, chips and fruit). The equipment & boat were in excellent shape.

There isn't a lot of down time which I appreciated (activities/entertainment happening thru out the trip). Tyler was an amazing hula dancer! Make sure you bring cash to tip the crew, they work hard to show us tourists a great time!!

When we initially jumped in the water, we saw dolphins immediately! The second jump we saw more dolphins, a sting ray, and a sea turtle! (And fish, if course). It was amazing.

We didn't rent the wet suit and we were fine (mid April). We took Dramamine because of all the warnings in other reviews, so we had no motion sickness, but neither did anyone else. :)

My only advice would be that guests should be sure to sit under the covered area when the crew is making announcements. We were sitting at the very back of the boat (behind the speaker) and couldn't hear them at all. You'll also get a better view of the dancer.

Also, the slide was not available on our trip, so if that's important to you, you should double check?

I was looking forward to showing the children the whales, but we couldn't see any at all, and it turned into just a regular cruise.

くじらを子供たちに見せてあげられるかと楽しみにしておりましたが、全く見ることができず、単なるクルーズになってしまいました。

I participated in a whale watching tour that included breakfast. The boat was larger than I expected, which made for a comfortable experience. I was thrilled to spot a whale spouting water! I was also satisfied to see it raise its tail. I want to go again!

朝食付きのホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
思っていたより大きな船で、ゆったりしました。
肝心のクジラは、潮を上げているところを見つけ、大興奮！
尾びれを上げたところも見れて満足。
又行きたい！

The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.

You are pretty much just paying for a ride there. It is a very pretty hike, I would make sure to wear shoes with traction as it does get pretty slippery towards the top. Q lot of good picture spots.

The pilot flew the helicopter on top the volcano and turned around it. We were able to see deep inside it. Was a great experience!
Also saw a lot of hot gas from the volcanoes and walked on solidified lava. Great whole-day tour !

From the greeters to the servers to the Chief himself, everyone treated us like we were a part of the family. It felt like a big family reunion.
The food was delicious, and even if you're vegetarian or vegan like me, there are plenty of options! I had a mountain of food on my plate and didn't leave hungry.
The entertainment was my favorite part. Talented hula and warrior dancers performed traditional dances from various regions of Polynesia. So it was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this luau!

The staff was amazing, but for money, this was just ok for us. We spent 2 hours cruising the ocean looking for whales. We did not see any, but did see some dolphins and a sea turtle. I was under the impression that the boat would be a catamaran, and would have some areas to sit, relax, and watch. But, apparently on certain days, the Disney resort uses that boat and so we took a boat normally used for scuba diving out. There was not much seating that allowed for you to view the ocean and watch for whales, so basically we stood the whole 2 hours on some pretty choppy water. They had some snacks and refreshments which my son enjoyed, but about an hour in he was pretty bored. Again, the staff was awesome, but the experience as a whole I probably would not do again. They did give us a voucher to return for free. We will see.

I didn't have to wait in line for the slides, so I was able to enjoy them multiple times. However, it was disappointing that the lazy river was closed. There was only one food stand open, and that was the longest line I had to wait in.

スライダーは基本並ばなくてよかったので、何度も楽しめました。
ただ、流れるプールがクローズになってたので残念。
食べ物を買うのも1箇所しか開いてなくて、一番並んだ。

I signed up for a course that included lunch. The morning pickup was smooth, and we arrived at the port without any issues. Since my friend's family, who happened to be on the same schedule, signed up separately, I was prepared for the boat to leave without us, but to my surprise, we ended up on the same boat! They gathered a group of Japanese guests on one vessel. Our guide was also Japanese and very kind. The lunch was plentiful, and we were completely full. We were able to see the honu (sea turtles) perfectly from the sandbar, and at the snorkeling point, we fulfilled our dream of swimming with them, which left the kids in awe. I am grateful for the happy time we spent, being able to see the honu right until the very end.

ランチ付きコースに申込みました。朝のピックアップもスムーズで問題なく港に到着しました。たまたま同日程だった友人家族と別々に申込んだので船は離れることを覚悟していましたが何と同じ船に乗ることに(^^)一隻を日本人客で集めていました(^ ^)ガイドさんも日本人でとても親切です。ランチも盛りだくさんで満腹になります。お目当てのホヌ(海ガメ)もサンドバーからバッチリ見れて、シュノーケリングポイントでは一緒に泳ぐ夢が叶い子供達も感動していました(o^^o)最後の最後までホヌも見れて幸せな時間を過ごせたことに感謝しています。

I was able to see the dorsal fin and tail fin for just a moment! It took a lot of patience to catch a glimpse of the whale pod.

背びれや尾びれが本当に一瞬だけ見れました！なかなかのクジラの群れを見ることが出来ず忍耐力が必要でした

This time, I went on a three-generation cruise with my children and mother. At the sandbar, we all had a great time playing beach volleyball and swimming. During the snorkeling afterward, my mother, who is in her late sixties, also joined everyone in the sea and had fun. She was moved to see a sea turtle up close. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious as well. However, the best part of this tour was the personality of the guide. Their desire to entertain everyone was evident, and they made sure no one was left behind. It was a truly wonderful guide.

今回子供と母を連れての三世代クルーズでした。
サンドバーではみんなでビーチバレーをしたり泳いだり楽しい時間を
すごせました。
その後のシュノーケリングでも
６０歳後半の母も皆と同じに海に入り楽しんでました。
ウミガメを間近で見て感動していました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
ですがこのツアーの最高なところはガイドの方の人柄ですね。
皆を楽しませたいという気持ちが前面に出ていて
誰も置いてきぼりにしない、とてもすばらしいガイドでした。

I participated with my husband, who is prone to seasickness, but I was relieved that he didn't get sick at all. Depending on the season, after snorkeling, wet hair and a wet body can feel a bit cold with even a slight breeze. If possible, it might be better to bring all your underwear and clothes rather than just something to throw over your wet swimsuit. I finished snorkeling early and changed using a towel from the pool in the less crowded area of the boat.

船酔いしやすい主人と2人で参加しましたが、全く酔わなかったので安心しました。
時期的な問題なのか、シュノーケルの後の濡れた髪濡れた体は少し風が当たると寒いです。
出来れば、濡れた水着の上に羽織るものよりも全ての下着、洋服を持参で臨んだ方が良いかも。私はシュノーケルを早めに引きあげて人の少ない船内でプールで使用するタオルを使って着替えました

This was my second time participating in the dolphin tour, and during the last one in summer, I saw many more dolphins! It was also quite cold, as everyone had to rent wetsuits! There were quite a few people who looked uncomfortable because they got seasick.

However, this time we were able to see many honu (turtles) down below. The staff worked hard to keep everyone engaged and excited. It's a fun tour if you don't get seasick, so taking motion sickness medication is a must!

イルカツアーの参加は2回目で前回は夏でしたが、夏の方がたくさんのイルカが見られました！あとは全員の方がウェットスーツを借りていたくらい寒かったです！酔ってしまって終始辛そうな方も結構な人数いました。
ただ今回は下の方でしたがホヌ（亀）がたくさん見ることができました。
スタッフの方はみなさん盛り上げようと頑張っておられました。
酔わなければ楽しめるツアーなので、酔い止めは必須です！！

We had a blast with Captain Bob’s crew! Kaneohe sandbar is spectacular, a must do activity on Oahu. The picnic was well organized, great food, amazing crew and plenty of time to relax on the sandbar, they helped us in taking our pictures and also plenty of time snorkeling. Clean snorkel equipment, bathrooms onboard and the crew was very helpful to everyone! We loved the sandbar, saw lot of turtles and fishes....it is a once in a lifetime experience! Will definitely do this again if we return to Oahu! Highly recommend this! Shoutout to Captain Bob’s crew!! You guys are awesome!

I was able to see sea turtles three times! I was so moved to see them up close, especially since I can't swim. It was super lucky to see them so closely.

The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious.

The friendly staff assisted us with beach volleyball, and even though I wasn't very good, I had a great time.

It got cold at the end, but I was glad there were hot drinks available. They were delicious.

ウミガメ3回も見れました！
泳げない私が、間近でウミガメを見れて感動しました。間近で見れたのは、めちゃラッキーでした。

船上で食べたハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

ビーチバレーも気さくなスタッフさんがアシストしてくださり、下手くそでも楽しめました。

最後に冷えて寒かったのですが、ホットドリンクが用意されてて良かったです。美味しかったです。

The walk on the sandbar lasted about an hour. There was a sandbank offshore, and the scenery was very beautiful. After that, we explored for sea turtles, and we were able to see them three times! It seems that if you make a wish, it will come true. Then we had BBQ hamburgers, which were quite tasty. Finally, we went snorkeling. We circled around the coral reef, but I was really tired afterward. As noted in the tour guidelines, be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and clothing. It gets really cold after entering the water, and the wind is chilly. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothing. I want to go again next year.

サンドバーの散歩は１時間くらいありました。沖合いに砂洲があり景色がとても良かったです。その後ウミガメを散策、なんと３度も見ることができました。お願い事すると叶うらしい。（？）。そしてＢＢＱハンバーガー。普通に美味しかったです。最後にシュノーケリング。さんご礁の周りをぐるっと一周しましたが、さすがに疲れました。ツアーの注意点にもありますが、帽子、日焼け止め、服。特に海に入った後はすごく寒いです。風が冷たいです。厚手の服を持っていったらよいです。来年もまた行きたいです。

My 9-year-old daughter participated in the experience. It was raining from the morning, and since she was attending alone, I had some concerns about how it would go until it started. However, once it began, she seemed to enjoy the experience. The story about the turtles was explained in English, but it was easy to understand, as they occasionally included Japanese words and used photos and models, so she seemed to grasp most of it.

Although she participated alone, there were Japanese children in the same group, so she quickly warmed up to them and chatted happily. She was able to interact with the dolphins much more than she had expected, and she looked very satisfied.

9才の娘が体験。
雨も朝から降っていて、一人で参加の為、どんな風になるのか始まるまで、不安も少しありましたが、始まると楽しそうに体験出来ていました。カメのお話も英語での説明ですが、分かりやすく時々日本語単語を交えて、写真や模型なども使ってくれて、だいたいは理解していたようです。
一人で参加でしたが、同じグループには日本の子どもたちがいたこともあり、すぐに打ち解けて仲良く話したり、イルカとも思っていたよりたくさん触れ合えて子どもは大満足の様子でした。

There were almost only Japanese people. It ruined the feeling of being on an overseas trip.

Attractions open at staggered times, causing crowds to concentrate on specific attractions, resulting in long wait times.

Food is not allowed to be brought in. Despite this, there was only one person taking orders at the food court, leading to long lines.

Even though it was a wave pool, there were no waves for more than half the time.

There was no one at the ticket purchase location for the FlowRider all day. When I asked other staff, they explained that it could be handled at the food court. Ultimately, I was able to buy the ticket at the food court, but without English skills, it would be difficult to get there, so the FlowRider was empty. It was too unhelpful.

ほぼ日本人しかいない。海外旅行の気分が台無しになる。

アトラクションが時間差でオープンするため、特定のアトラクションに人が集中し、その結果、長時間待たされる。

食べ物が持ち込めない。その割に園内のフードコートは注文受付が1人しかいなく、これまた長蛇の列ができる。

波のでるプールなのに、半分以上の時間、波が無かった。

フローライダーのチケット購入場所に終日、人が居なかった。他のスタッフに聞いたところフードコート？で対応すると説明される。結果的にフードコートでチケットは買えたが、英語力がないとここまでたどり着けないため、フローライダーはガラガラだった。不親切すぎ。

As soon as we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which made me think we were off to a good start. However, after that, we didn't see anything and it ended there. Given the high expectations, it was disappointing not to see any whales, and the experience ended up being boring. Additionally, since we didn't see any whales, we were given tickets that could be used during the season starting the next day, but I felt there were high hurdles, such as the fact that the tickets were only valid until January of the following year and that reservations could only be made by phone (likely in English), with no option for online booking. I think it would be better if there were options like receiving a gift (such as a whale plush toy) or a re-ticket if nothing is seen.

出発早々、イルカの群れが見えて、幸先良いかと思いましたが、その後、何も見えず、終了しました。期待が高かった分、クジラが見えなかったため、つまらなく終わりました。また、クジラが見えなかったため、翌日からシーズン内で利用できるチケットをもらいましたが、翌日から年1月までであること、電話(おそらく英語)での予約のみでwebでの予約が出来ないなどハードルが高いと感じました。見れない場合、プレゼント(例えばクジラのぬいぐるみなど)か再チケットかを選べるなどあると良いと思います。

I was supposed to go see whales, but ended up only seeing dolphins?! When I asked others, it seems that whales are rarely seen at this time of year. It's a total rip-off, and I want my money back!!

クジラを見に行ったはずが、イルカを見ただけで終わり⁉️他の人に聞いたところ、今の時期は、めったにクジラは見られないらしい。ぼったくりも甚だしいし、お金を返してほしい‼️

We gathered quite early, and after boarding, we had to wait for over 30 minutes, which was tough with kids. However, we were happy to see a large group of dolphins right after we set sail, although we didn't spot any whales. I really appreciated how hard the captain worked to take us around and how the crew was considerate towards the children; it felt very thoughtful. After disembarking, the return journey was smooth, but I thought it would have been nice to have a little time for shopping.

随分早めの集合なのか、乗船してからぼんやり待つ時間30分以上でした。子連れには辛いですが、、出航してすぐにイルカの大群が見れてハッピーでしたが鯨みえず。
でも船長さんがかなり頑張ってあちこち飛ばしてくれたり船員の方が子供に気遣いしてくれているのはすごくわかり良心的だと思いました。
降りてからはさくさく帰路なんですがちょいとショッピングの時間が取れてもよいかもと思いました。

I thought it would be lucky if I could see a whale, but about an hour after boarding, I encountered a mother and baby whale! I even got to see them jump, and they came quite close, which was incredibly exciting.
I also had the opportunity to experience cultural activities like making leis and playing the ukulele, and I was able to participate in two or three of them as time allowed!

クジラが見れたらラッキーだな、くらいの気持ちでいましたが乗船から一時間くらいでくじらの親子に会えました！ジャンプもみられ、かなり近くにクジラがきてくれて大興奮でした。
カルチャー体験もレイ作りやウクレレ、フラ時間の許す限り２個３個と体験させてもらえました！

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

The meeting point at the hotel is about a 30-minute ride to the boat. When I participated in dolphin watching last time, we traveled quite far, so I wondered if we could see whales in such a city area. However, we spotted one about 30 minutes after departure! Since it was a larger boat, we couldn't get too close, but thanks to the crew's patience in spotting them, we were able to see a mother and baby whale quite closely in the second half of the trip.

The weather was nice, and even when we couldn't see any whales, the views of Honolulu were so beautiful that I didn't get bored. However, the waves were quite high, and there were moments when the boat rocked a lot, so I think anyone prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication. (I was fine, so I had a great time throughout!) The buffet-style sandwiches were also delicious.

When we returned to the hotel after getting off the boat, the bus was waiting in a different location. (By the way, in the morning, we were told to take the bus with the number one sign for the return trip.) Since the sign was held in a place not visible from the boat dock, we couldn't see it, so I thought it would be better if the boarding and alighting locations were the same. (I apologize if this was explained in English!)

集合場所のホテルから船までは30分程度。
前回イルカウォッチングに参加した際は、かなり遠くまで走ったので、こんな街中？で鯨が見れるのかな…と思いましたが、出航して30分程度で発見！
大きめの船の為なかなか近付く事は出来ませんでしたが、クルーの方が根気よく見定めてくれたおかげで、後半かなり近くで親子クジラの姿を見る事が出来ました。
天気も良く、クジラが見えない間もホノルルの景色がとても美しくて飽きませんでしたが、結構波が高くて大きく揺れる事があったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は薬必須だと思います。（私は平気なので、終始とても楽しかったです！）
バイキング方式でのサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
船を降りてホテルに戻るとき、バスが離れた場所で待機されていたのですが（そういえば朝、帰りは1番の札を掲げたバスに乗って下さいねと言われた）、船乗り場から見えない場所で札を掲げられても私達は分からないので…、それなら乗降場所は同じようにされた方が良いのでは？と思いました。（英語で説明されていたなら、すみません！）

My child was able to ride something that they couldn't due to height restrictions last time, so we enjoyed it even more this time. You can have fun all day! I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii.

子供が前回身長制限で乗れなかったものが、乗れるようになったので前回よりも満喫できました。一日中楽しめます！
ハワイに行った時はまた行きます。
