All Reviews for For 3 Year Olds

I didn't have a place or time to change, but it was a very fun day. The dive from the boat was great. It might be good to save some energy for snorkeling.

着替える場所と時間はなかったけど、非常に楽しい1日でした。船からのダイブも良かった。シュノーケルの体力を残しておくといいかな。

There were various pools, slides, and dynamic attractions, and it was so much fun. The sun was intense, and I got sunburned. My body was covered with a rash guard, but since my face got wet, I think the sunscreen came off. My feet, which were in sandals, also got quite sunburned.

When going to the attractions, I took off my sandals and lined up. Many people left their sandals at the starting point. Once barefoot, the ground was so hot that it felt like I might get burned. But that too is a fun memory.

I didn't use a locker for my belongings. There were many chairs lined up near the wave pool, and I claimed a spot there to leave my things. (I carried my phone and valuables in a waterproof case.)

It was so much fun that I played without even having lunch!

いろんなプールや滑り台，ダイナミックなアトラクションがあって，とっても楽しかったです。
日差しがきつくて，日焼けもしました。体はラッシュガードでおおわれていましたが，顔は濡れてしまうので，日焼け止めもとれてしまうと思います。サンダルを履いていた足もしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。

アトラクションに行くときは，サンダルを脱いで並びます。たくさんの方が出発地点などに，サンダルを置いていきます。裸足になると，地面が熱くて，火傷しそうなくらいでした。でも，それも楽しい思い出の１ページです。

荷物はロッカーには預けませんでした。波のプールの近くにたくさんイスが並べてあり，そこで拠点となる場所取りをして，荷物も置いておきました。（携帯電話や貴重品は防水ケースに入れて持ち歩いていました。）

楽しすぎて，お昼ご飯も食べずに，遊びました！

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.

ツアーは悪くは無いのですが、サンドバーが「思ってたんと違う‼️」とガッカリしました。砂の浜に上陸出来ると思っていたけど、砂の浜は皆無で、、、
浅瀬に立っただけでした。浅瀬といっても足首くらいの水なら我慢出来たけど、胸までゆうに浸かる海の中でしたので、海の中に落とされた感じです😭
砂浜で歩きたかったし、もっと言えば砂浜に座ってハンバーガー食べたかった💧
ぎゅうぎゅうづめの船の上でハンバーガー、、、💧周りが気になって美味しかったのかどうかも思い出せませんー

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.

Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.

After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.

7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my eldest son and his child. I searched online for places in Japan that I could visit with my 4-year-old grandchild and decided that Wet 'n' Wild would be the best choice. After that, I looked for various tours and ultimately chose Veltra. I was relieved to find out that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the scheduled departure, even though I initially thought we would be taking a large dedicated bus. It was also great that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the return trip. Safety and security are absolute requirements when traveling abroad, so I reaffirmed that Veltra meets those standards.

今回は長男親子と一緒にハワイへ。日本で孫(4歳)と一緒に行ける所をネットで検索し、ウェットアンドワイルドが一番良いかなと選択。その後、色々なツアーを検索し最終ベルトラに。ツアーでは大型専用バスでの往復と思いきや、当日小型バスで待合せ場所に約10分前にバスに搭乗出来て安心しました。帰路も約10分前にバス搭乗出来て良かったです。
安心と安全は海外では絶対条件に成りますのでベルトラは適応していると再認識しました。

On our last night in Hawaii, we dined here. This was our second visit, having been here during our previous trip to Hawaii as well. The Italian course was just the right amount for us, and we enjoyed it very much. That's why we came back for a second time. I was glad that we were able to sit outside as I had requested the day before. The staff were all very nice, and we had a wonderful time.

ハワイ最後の夜、ディナーとして利用させていただきました。前回のハワイ、そして今回のハワイで2回目の利用です。私達夫婦には量的にとてもいい感じで美味しく食べられるイタリアンのコースです。なので2回目となりました。外の席を前日リクエストしていたら、リクエスト通り座れて良かったです。みんないい感じのスタッフさんで素敵な時間を過ごせました。

Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.

The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!

And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.

I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!

This excursion was absolutely incredible! We got to hang out on the Kaneohe sandbar for a while. Some people played volleyball, some swam and tested out snorkel gear. We go to just relax and enjoy this amazing location. There were sea turtles and rays when we first got there. The crew grilled up some yummy burgers while we played. We then got back on the boat looking for green sea turtles. So many! We snorkeled around a reef and saw so many incredible fish. This was one of my favorite adventures that we did in Oahu and could not have been in a more beautiful location.

We were really lucky with our tour because Kilauea started erupting in the morning of our tour day and we had a helicopter tour at 9:00 AM. We were able to see unbelievable sights from the helicopter as we were flying over the caldera.

The downside of it was that everyone else also knew about the eruption and wanted to get to the volcano park so we were stuck in the traffic for hours with others queuing to get into the park. This affected slightly the schedule of our tour, but we still managed to see the main things, and as I had visited the park before, it didn't matter so much to me. The thing I hoped and expected from the tour most was seeing lava spouting up in the air, and that came true!

Just as a reminder, you don't always get to see lava flowing, but the sights overall are still amazing and definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic experience! Delivered on everything during this trip! Kids had a blast and we saw turtles, dolphins, octopus, and many fish. Would do it every time that I am here!

**Review**

The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.

The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.

I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.

**Points for Improvement**

The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.

However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.

The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.

【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました！
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。

ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました！
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。

個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。

【改善して頂きたい点】

バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。

ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が２個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。

ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。

Unfortunately, there was a power line issue (a nearby utility pole fire), and the main attractions were unavailable. I couldn't participate in many attractions... (๑•́︿•̀๑)
However, I really enjoyed the wave pool!
I opted for the lunch package, so it was great to be able to buy lunch without waiting in line during the lunch hour.
The lunch included steak, chicken steak, French fries, salad, fruit, and rice in a buffet style. It was nice that I could have seconds.
It would have been even better if there were a few more options.

タイミング悪く…送電線トラブル（近くで電柱の家事）があり、メインどころのアトラクションが使えないトラブルが発生。あまりアトラクションには参加できず…(๑•́︿•̀๑)
ですが波のプールはめっちゃ楽しめました！
ランチ付きにしたので、お昼時に並ばずに買えて良かったです。
ランチはステーキ、チキンステーキ、フライドポテト、サラダ、フルーツ、ライス…とビュッフェ形式でした。おかわりもできるので、よかったです。
もう少し種類があれば尚よしかな。

Movie site tour was incredible, best scenery of east side of island.

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.

チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。

I was nervous because the shuttle bus didn't arrive on time, but I was able to relax on the spacious bus. Once we arrived, the staff provided explanations in Japanese and advised us to secure our spots early. Since it was a Sunday, it was fairly crowded, and some slides had lines of nearly 30 minutes. Perhaps because the lazy river was out of service, the wave pool was quite crowded, and it was difficult to secure a float. I was satisfied to experience slides that are not commonly found in Japan, but I wish I had a bit more time to stay.

迎えのバスが時間になっても来なくてドキドキしましたが、大きなバスでゆったり向かうことができました。
現地では、日本語でスタッフの方からの説明があり、先に場所を確保しておいた方がいいこと等、教えていただけました。
日曜日だったこともあり、まぁまぁ混んでいてスライダー等は３０分近く並ぶものもありました。流れるプールが運休だったこともあってか、波のプールは人が多くて浮き輪を確保するのに苦労しました。
日本ではなかなかないサイズのスライダーを体験できて満足ですが、もう少し滞在時間があればよかったなと思います。

In 2011, it was called Hawaiian Water Adventure Park. The name has changed, and the slides have been renewed, making it quite enjoyable even as an adult.

It was a Saturday during the summer vacation season in America, but it wasn't too crowded, and I only had to wait about 15 minutes for any slide, which was comfortable. One reason I was able to enjoy my time was because I had a drink-all-you-can voucher. With the pool, the heat, and the strong sunlight, I was really thirsty, but since I could keep hydrating, I was able to avoid heatstroke and have fun.

Since it opened at 10:30, I took an Uber from Waikiki via the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. As there were two adults, we left around 4 PM, did about three hours of shopping at Waikele, and then called another Uber to go home.

Having visited Hawaii multiple times, I think if you have a general sense of the area and know what you want to do and where you want to go, you could easily spend a day here and still have enough time. However, if you're on a tight schedule with just three nights and five days, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. But it’s really fun, and since there are slides you can't experience in Japan, I definitely suggest it for those who have some extra time!

2011年？当時はハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャーパークという名前でした。名前が変わり、スライダー類もリニューアルされていて大人になった今もかなり楽しめました。
土曜日かつアメリカは夏休みシーズンでしたが、そこまで混雑しておらずどのスライダーも並んでも15分ほどで快適でした。
ドリンク飲み放題のバウチャーだったことがかなり快適に過ごせた理由の一つかと思います。プール、暑い、日差しが強いなのでとにかく喉が乾くのですが飲み放題なのでどんどん水分補給出来たことで熱中症にもならず楽しめました。

10時半オープンのためワイキキからカカアコのファーマーズマーケット経由でuberに乗り、大人2人だったため16時過ぎに退散、ワイケレで3時間ほどショッピングして再度uberを呼んで帰りました。
ハワイに何度も訪れていてなんとなくの土地勘や、やりたいこと行きたい場所が決まっていれば1日ここで遊んでも時間が足りると思いますが、3泊5日でとにかく時間が無い時は残念ながらおすすめできません。。が、本当に楽しいですし、日本では体験できないスライダーばかりなのでお日にちに余裕がある方はぜひ♡

Amazing for adults and kids. The bus driver was funny and amazing !!! Thank you so much for the entertainment.
Beautiful

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

Visiting the Punchbowl National Cemetery was a must for my family history, so I was happy to find a tour that has so much inclusion, was a well planned day.

Visiting both the Arizona and Missouri sites gave us a full perspective on all Pearl Harbor scarifies.

Whether you’re a movie buff or just love beautiful landscapes, this tour is perfect for a more relaxed day inside Kualoa :)

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

The staff on the boat is very friendly, fun and helpful. We had a great time watching dolphins swim and then snorkeling after that.

This is my fourth experience at Angel's Sea, including other companies. Not in a bad way, but I was surprised by how many people there were, and since it was my first time being picked up by a large bus, I was worried about how it would go. However, they divided us into a foreign team and a Japanese team, and we had a great time throughout. They were also kind to families with children, which made me feel at ease. I was satisfied with seeing many sea turtles, and it looked like people were having fun playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected.

天使の海は他社を含めて四回目の体験です？悪い意味ではなく思った以上に人が多く初めて大型バスでのお迎えだったのでどうなることやらと心配しましたが、外国人チームと日本人チームに分けてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。子連れにも親切にしてくださり安心でした。海亀もたくさん見れて満足ですし、天使の海はビーチバレーしてる方もいらっしゃり楽しそうでした。ランチも思ってる以上に絶品です。

I am going around personally, and I have a great time with very kind people. All explanations will be in English. I think it will be a good experience for children as well.

個人回りしてますが、すごく親切で楽しい時間を過ごせます。説明は全部英語になります。子供にも良い体験になると思います。

This tour used to be quite popular, and I couldn't join before because it was always fully booked. I'm glad I could participate this time. The sea felt a bit cold, but I was able to go snorkeling. I also saw a sea turtle, and the freshly grilled hamburger was delicious! The Japanese guide was cheerful, and I had a great time.

このツアーは昔かなり人気だったようで以前は一杯で参加できませんでした。今回は参加できてよかったです。海は少し冷たく感じましたが、シュノーケリングもできました。ウミガメも見られて、ハンバーガーも焼きたてで美味しかった！日本語ガイドさんも陽気で楽しく過ごせました。

Our family had such a wonderful day, the kids were so engaged with the viewing window.

When you arrive, there will be an explanation of the facilities from the Japanese staff, so you can relax and enjoy. If you arrive early, I recommend securing a shaded beach bench to enjoy. For meals, the kalua pork is recommended; it's quite filling, so one dish should be enough for a family of three to share.

現地に着いたら日本人のスタッフから施設の説明があるので安心して楽しめました。早い時間に着いたら、まずは日陰になるビーチベンチを陣取って楽しむこと。お勧めします。食事はカルアポークかおすすめ、ボリューミーなので家族3人なら一つをシェアすれば十分かな。

The Punchbowl Cemetery was my main point I wanted to see with Pearl Harbor, and thankful for a tour that stopped by.
