All Reviews for For 3 Year Olds

This is my third time here. During the snorkeling and swimming around the coral reefs, I was able to see a sea turtle last time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see one this time. However, others said they swam with one. Last time, I brought an underwater camera and when a sea turtle appeared, I panicked and couldn't capture anything. (LOL) This time, I didn't see one.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious, especially while enjoying the view of the horizon and scenery. Yuki, who took care of us, was as lively as ever, which was great. I hope to see her again, but given my age, I might not be able to come back??

Hawaii really is a wonderful place. (It would be even better if the cost of living were lower.)

今回で、３回目になりました。シュノーケル・サンゴ礁周囲遊泳は、前回はウミガメを見れましたが、今回は残念ながら、見ることはできませんでした。でもほかの人は、一緒に泳いだって言ってました。前回に、水中可能カメラを持って潜り、ウミガメが出てきて、焦って取ったので、何も撮れなかったです。（爆）今回は、見れなかった。
ランチのハンバーグも、周りの水平線や景色を見ながら、食べるのも、おいしいです。日本人相手に担当していただいた、ユキさんも、相変わらず元気で、何よりでした。またお会いできるといいのですが、何せ、年が年なんで、いけないかも？？
やっぱりハワイは、よいところですね。（物価が安ければ、なおさら良いですけど）

I was a bit anxious about participating alone since most people were in pairs, but the crew members were all really nice, and I'm glad I joined. I got to see dolphins and swimming honu (turtles), which really boosted my excitement! I also challenged myself to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was quite difficult, but I managed to stand up and paddle (^ -^)v.

The cheeseburger on the boat was delicious, and I was really happy to see hula up close (since I’m learning hula). I was on cloud nine (laughs). I want to participate again! (*^o^*)

大体が2人での参加の中、1人参加で不安でしたが、クルーの皆さんがホンマに良い人ばかりで、参加して良かったです。イルカも泳いでるホヌ(亀)も見れてテンションup⤴︎そして、体験してみたかったSUPにも挑戦。結構難しかったですが、何とか立てて漕げました(^-^)v
船上でのチーズバーガーも美味しかったですが、間近でフラを見れて(フラを習ってるので)嬉しかったです。テンションmaxでした(笑)。また参加したいなぁ(*^o^*)

We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but even after the time had passed, the bus didn't arrive... Only to find that the guide was a man silently standing in front of a bus with no tour name displayed. He just stood there without saying anything. We lost about 10 minutes waiting there. I wished he would have at least named the tour or called out our names.

With that vibe, we moved on to pick up other hotels before heading to the location. By the time we arrived, we were about 20 minutes late. That was to be expected.

When you get on the bus, they distribute a floor map. The explanations about the park and the return trip are broadcasted once you're on the bus, and it's in Japanese.

The pool was not crowded, and all the attractions were open. The facility itself was smaller than I expected, and you can easily make one round quickly.

You rent lockers from a machine, but you can only put in a maximum of $7 in cash at a time. So, you can't use a $10 bill. Cards are accepted. I rented a small locker, but it was already packed when I put in two backpacks.

You can ride the slides as many times as you want. Most of the time, you need to carry your own float to the starting point. There are specific floats designated for each slide.

It starts to get a bit crowded in the early afternoon, but even if you have to wait in line, it's usually just about 10 minutes for the floats.

The changing rooms and restrooms were somewhat dirty. I really didn't want to use them if I could avoid it.

The only real disappointment was the pickup service. However, the slides were thrilling, with some intense ones that you can't find in Japan, so I enjoyed that. They also take you back to the hotel afterward.

イリカイホテル前に集合でしたが、時間が過ぎてもバスが来ない…と思いきやなんのツアー名も書かれていないバスの前に黙って立っている男性が引率さんでした。声をかけるでもなくただ黙って立っているだけ。10分くらいはここでロスしています。ツアー名付けるなり名前呼ぶなりして欲しかったです。
その感じでその後のホテルもピックアップしながら現地まで移動。着いた時には20分くらいは遅れていました。当たり前です。
バスに乗る時にフロアマップを配られます。園内の説明や帰りのことはバスに乗ってから放送が流れるので聞くだけです。日本語の放送です。
プールは空いていて全てのアトラクションがオープンしていました。思ったより施設自体が狭くてすぐに1周出来ます。
ロッカーは自動機で借りますが、現金は1回に最大7＄までしか入れられません。なので10＄札とか入れられないです。カードは使えます。小さいロッカー借りましたがリュック2個入れたらもうぎっしりです。
スライダー系は何回でも乗れました。ほとんどが自分で浮き輪をスタート地点に持って行って使う感じです。一応どのスライダーにどの浮き輪と決まっています。
お昼すぎになると少し混み始めますが、並んだとしても浮き輪待ちなので10分くらいでした。
更衣室、トイレはまあまあ汚いです。出来れば使いたくない感じです。
送迎だけがほんとに残念でした。スライダーは日本にはない激しさのものもあるので楽しめました。
帰りもホテルまで送ってくれます。

We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel at 8:55 for our stay at the Grand Waikikian. Since we picked up guests from various hotels, it took over 30 minutes in Waikiki, but after that, we arrived at the location in about 35 minutes. Perhaps because it was a weekday in June, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy the large slide without any wait. Since we had young children with us, there were many attractions they couldn't go on due to height restrictions, but they had a great time in the toddler area and the wave pool. Coin lockers cost between $13 and $18, and a hamburger set inside was about $10, so expenses added up, but we had fun. It's not cheap, so I think kids around fifth grade to middle school age would get their money's worth in playtime.

グランドワイキキアン宿泊で、8:55イリカイホテル前で集合していきました。色々なホテルの方をピックアップしていくので、ワイキキで30分以上時間を取られますが、その後は3５分くらいで現地に着きました。6月平日のためか、空いており大型スライダーも待ち時間なくできました。当方は子連れのため、身長制限でできないものも多かったですが幼児用のスペースや波の出るプールで存分に楽しんでいました。コインロッカーは13ドル〜18ドル、中のハンバーガーセットは10ドルくらいでなにかと出費はかさみますが楽しめました。安くはないので、小学校五年生〜中学生くらいのほうが元を取れるくらい遊べるかなとおもいます。

A convenient location for transportation. It's about 100 meters north of Halekulani, at the corner of Beach Walk, and might be a bit inconspicuous. The flavors seem to cater to Japanese tastes. Since the chef is Japanese, I think it's at the highest level in Waikiki. The appetizer, soup, main meat dish, and finally the coffee and dessert were all delicious. However, my wife couldn't drink the coffee, and there was no tea available, so we ended up sharing two cups. Later, I had the mentaiko spaghetti, which was also delicious.

交通の便利な場所。ハレクラニHから１００ｍほど北、ビーチウォークの角にありやや目立たないかな。味は日本人向きでしょうか。シェフが日本人とのことでワイキキでは最高レベルと思います。前菜　スープ　メインの肉料理、最後はコーヒーとデザートすべて美味しかった。ただ妻がコーヒーがダメであったが紅茶はなく、2人分飲むことになった。
後日明太子スパゲッティをいただいたがこれも美味でした。

I went directly from the airport moving from the Big Island to Oahu.
The park is always uncrowded, and you can ride the slides as much as you want.
The basic food isn't that great, so it's better to go early in the morning and return around noon to eat outside.

ハワイ島からオアフ島への移動した空港から直行しました。
園内は常に空いていてスライダーは乗り放題です。
基本料理はそんなおいしくないので、朝一にいって午後一くらいに帰って外でご飯食べたほうがよいです

I wanted to try the slide, and this pool, which is famous on TV, was the only one where Veltra provided transportation from Ko Olina at a discounted rate, so I used it. The facilities were a bit old and had some issues, but I still enjoyed my time there, even if it was short.

スライダーやりたくてテレビでも有名なこのプールへ、ベルトラさんだけが唯一コオリナから送迎をつけてしかも割安であったので、利用しました。施設は、古いのか少し難ありでしたが、短い時間でも楽しめました。

I was impressed by the wonderfully beautiful sandbar.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish and it was fun to feed them.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious, making it a highly satisfying tour.

素晴らしくきれいなサンドバーで感動しました。
シュノーケリングでは、きれいな魚を沢山見ることができ、餌付けもできて楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーも大変おいしく、満足度の高い良いツアーでした。

We participated with a 6-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, and an adult. The weather was great, and it went by in no time! Choosing fast food for meals was the right decision. The taste was delicious. Both kids were so into it that it felt like a waste to spend too much time on meals. We definitely want to do it again!

6歳女子、10歳男子と大人で参加。
天候にも恵まれあっという間！飲食はファーストフードで正解でした。味も美味しいです。食事に時間をかけるのは勿体ない位2人ともハマっていてまたリピしたい！！

The weather was wonderful, and I was very moved to see a sandbar that was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The water depth in the shallow areas was only up to my ankles, so it was truly like the sandbars I’ve seen on TV! The staff were lively and enthusiastic, which made me and everyone else laugh throughout the experience, leaving a lasting impression.

I recommend taking a good look with your own eyes, as it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to capture in photos!

Since it’s a plan for a large group (about 20 to 30 people), it’s understandable that those who are not confident in snorkeling or are first-timers may not receive personal guidance at a leisurely pace. We had some experience, so we were able to snorkel without any issues, but since everyone swims freely, there was some variation in whether or not people got to see sea turtles. (On this day, it seemed that about half of the participants were able to see them.) Even if you don’t see sea turtles, you can still enjoy seeing other beautiful fish, so I think it’s definitely enjoyable.

For those who really want to snorkel but lack confidence, I recommend looking into different plans.

お天気にも恵まれ、想像以上に綺麗なサンドバーが見られたのでとても感動しました！
浅い所での水深はくるぶし上くらいまでしかなかったので、まさにテレビで見たようなサンドバーでした！
スタッフの方も元気に盛り上げて下さるので、彼を含め私も終始笑っていた事が印象的に残っています。
写真ではなかなかうまく写りきらない程綺麗だと思うのでしっかり目に焼き付ける事をお勧めします！

人数が多いプランなので仕方ないのですが(2〜30人くらい？)シュノーケリングに自信が無い方や初めての方はなかなかゆっくりと個人的指導は受けられないかと思います。
私たちは経験があったので難なくシュノーケリングはできましたが、全員がそれぞれ自由にシュノーケリングで泳ぐのでウミガメが見られるかどうかにばらつきはありました。
(この日は半数くらいの方は見られたようです。)
ウミガメが見られなくても他の魚等は綺麗に見られるので十分楽しめるとは思います(^^)

シュノーケリングは絶対にしたいけど自信がない方は、違うプラン等を見てみる事をお勧めします。

It was great that the guide entertained us and explained how the sandbar was formed.

However, when I stood on the sandbar and looked around, I was surprised to find it was just like, "Oh, so this is what it looks like." I felt that it would be better to see it from above, like in a helicopter, but I had expected that, and I wanted to land on the sandbar at least once.

ガイドさんが楽しませてくれて、サンドバーの作られ方とか説明とかも聞けて良かったです。

でもサンドバーはその上に立って見ると、「ふーん、こんな感じなんだ」って言う感じだったのが意外だった。ヘリとかで上から見るのが良いものなのだと感じたけれど、予想はしていたし、一度はサンドバーに上陸してみたかったから

This was my second time participating. Both times, the water level was about knee-high, but I was aware of that since I checked the tide information on this page from VELTRA. My husband was seriously playing volleyball at the sandbar, haha. Snorkeling was a battle against the fear of entering the ocean without being able to touch the bottom after turning 50, but once I saw the beauty underwater, I truly understood the high ratings in the reviews. People over 50 (and even older) can enjoy this too!

2度目の参加でした。
2回とも膝上くらいの水位でしたが、それはきちんと潮の満ち引き情報をVELTRAさんのこのページで確認していたので、承知の上でした。
夫はサンドバーでバレーボールをガチでやっていました笑
シュノーケリングは、50を過ぎて足がつかない海に入る恐怖との戦いでしたが、いざ海の中を見ると感動的な美しさで、レビューの高さを実感しました。
50オーバーの人も（いやもっと上の人もいました）楽しめますよ！

The crew was really attentive to the guests, and I thought it was impressive how they managed everything on the ship despite the challenges.

I couldn't see any sea turtles, so I definitely want to see them next time I come.

クルーの皆さんがすごくお客さんの事を見ていて、船の上で大変なのにすごいなと思って見ていました。

ウミガメが見れなかったので、次来た時は是非見たいです。

There's no need to worry about seasickness! Since we're in the bay, it doesn't rock at all.

The sandbar was cloudy at first, but it cleared up along the way and was absolutely beautiful.

After that, we were able to see several sea turtles during the turtle watching!

Snorkeling was also no problem for beginners! (You can practice at the sandbar.)

The hamburgers for lunch are delicious, so I highly recommend them!

船酔いの心配はありません！
湾の中なので全然揺れません。

サンドバーは曇りでしたが途中で晴れてめっちゃきれいでした。

そのあと、ウミガメウォッチでは数匹見ることができました！

シュノーケリングも初心者でも問題なくでしました！
（サンドバーで練習ができます）

お昼のハンバーガーも美味しいのでおすすめです！

There are many large slides that you can't experience in Japan, and the children were thrilled and didn't have enough time. I think it's a good idea to reserve a cabana seat for families or during busy times.

日本では体験できないような大掛かりなスライダーが沢山あり、子どもたちは大喜びで時間が足りませんでした。
家族連れや混雑する時はカバナ席を予約しておくといいと思います。

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

The Captain and her crew were beyond friendly! The whole experience was amazing, from the cruise to the sand bar, the food, the turtle watching and the snorkeling. Absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this experience!

- The guidance from the female staff was delightful and enjoyable.
- I was able to see sea turtles at the sandbar, which was amazing.
- Snorkeling might have been the most fun; it felt like swimming inside an aquarium, and it was incredibly enjoyable to be so close to the fish.
- The BBQ on the boat was about what I expected, but the service was attentive and good.
- It was a tour I would like to join again next time.

・女性担当者の案内が愉快で楽しかったです。
・サンドバーではウミガメも見れたし最高でした。
・シュノーケリングが一番楽しかったかも、まるで水槽の中を泳いでいるよう　で、魚が手に取れる感じで非常に楽しかったです。
・BBQは船の上なのでこんなもんかな、という感じでしたが接客が丁寧でよ　　かったです。
・次回も参加したいツアーでした。

I felt very safe with the Japanese staff at the center. The locals were also kind and communicated in English, so I was able to enjoy everything without any inconvenience, even though I only speak Japanese! The hamburger on the boat was the most delicious I had on this trip (^ ^). There was plenty of free time, and they clearly communicated important information, so I was able to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful sea! I was lucky to swim with a sea turtle. There was a shuttle to the Alohilani Hotel, and on the way back, they guided us as well.

日本人が中心でとても安心しました。現地の人も英語で優しく対応して下さったので、日本語しか分からない中、何も不自由なく楽しむことができました！
船上でのハンバーガーはこの旅行で1番美味しかったです(^ ^)
自由な時間が多く、注意事項等もしっかり伝えてもらえたので
ゆっくりくつろぎながらきれいな海を満喫できて最高でした！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳げてよかったです。
アロヒラニホテルまで送迎があり、帰りはガイドもしながら送っていただけました。

The weather was clear! I was picked up near the hotel and took a bus to the location. The crew members were very kind and there were many happy people, which made it enjoyable! The lunch on the water was amazing!!! The sandbar we aimed for was breathtakingly beautiful. It was about thigh-deep, but that was no problem! We also saw many sea turtles before heading out to snorkel. It became a wonderful memory!!

天気も快晴！ホテル近くでピックアップしてもらいバスに乗って現地へ。
クルーの皆さんはとても優しくハッピーな方がたくさんで楽しめました！水上でのランチ最高です！！！
お目当のサンドバーには息を飲むくらいの綺麗さ。太ももくらいの高さでしたが問題ありません！ウミガメもたくさん見かけたりしてからシュノーケルへ。 最高な思い出になりました！！

Great tour to do if you are not familiar with Oahu. Our driver, tour guide, lunch server etc. was outstanding. Very informative and patient. I highly recommend Oahu Nature Tour. Our tour guide was Monique in case you have a choice. We attended this tour on 28 May 2019. Lunch was included at Fumi's Shrimp Shack

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

This is Hawaii time! My first impression is that I will come back! This is my fifth year in Hawaii. This time, I'm staying for three weeks, so I'm challenging myself to snorkeling, something I've never done before. My wife can't swim at all, so she has been practicing at a nearby pool for a year, but in reality, she hasn't been able to go much and still can't breathe properly while swimming. The day before the tour, we practiced just the arm movements of the breaststroke at the hotel pool (saltwater pool). Is this level okay??? Both my wife and I are 70 years old. The large bus at Sheraton Aloha Landing was full, which shows its popularity. The rain stopped, and the cloudy sky was a relief. Water volleyball was more difficult and fun than I expected. We watched turtles, ate delicious BBQ hamburgers, and went snorkeling for the first time. My wife held onto me while colorful fish swam within reach. We quickly got used to snorkeling, and it was a blissful time.

これぞハワイの時間！また来るぞ！と言うのが第1の感想。ハワイ5年目。今回は3週間の長期滞在なので、これまで一度も無かった、シュノーケリングにチャレンジ。家内は全く泳げないので、1年前から近くのプールで練習していたが、現実にはなかなか行けず、まだ息継ぎができない。今回のツアーの前日ホテルのプール(海水プール)で、平泳ぎの腕の動きだけ練習。こんなレベルで大丈夫？？？家内も私も70歳。シェラトンアロハランディングで大型バスが満杯。人気の程が伺える。雨もあがって曇り空が助かる。水上バレーも思った以上に難しく、面白い。カメを眺め、美味しいBBGハンバーガーを食べて、初シュノーケリング。家内は私につかまりながら。色とりどりの魚が手が届くところで泳いでいる。すぐにシュノーケリングにも慣れ、至福の時間。

I visit every year, more than 10 times. Each time, I enjoy the different colors of the sea and the varying water levels. The one thing that never changes is the instructor, YUKIKO. She always greets us with her exceptionally cheerful smile. This year (June 28, 2019), I will go with my sister.

毎年通い詰めて、１０回以上。毎回、海の色と水の量が違い楽しんでいます。
ちっとも変わらないのがインストラクターのYUKIKO。とっびきりのご機嫌な笑顔で迎えてくれます。
今年は（２０１９年６月２８日）おねいちゃんと二人で行きますね。

Travel: It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki. Since it can be a bit chilly, it's a good idea to bring a jacket. If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication.
After that, we will board the boat, but Japanese people and Americans, along with others from English-speaking countries, will be on a different boat. It's reassuring that explanations will be provided in Japanese. Soft drinks are free, and alcohol will be paid for collectively after returning from the sandbar.
Impressions: The sandbar is for practicing snorkeling and taking a walk.
We moved to the snorkeling point, and there were life jackets available, so even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. The number of fish when we got into the water was incredible! 😊

移動他:ワイキキのホテルからバスで30分ほど移動します。少し寒いので上着はあった方が良いですね。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いです。
その後、乗船しますが日本人とアメリカ人他英語圏の方々と別の船に乗ります。日本語で説明いただけるので安心です。ソフトドリンクは無料で、アルコールはサンドバー帰りでまとめて払います。
感想:サンドバーは、シュノーケリング練習と散歩です。
移動して、シュノーケリングポイントに向かいますが、救命胴衣もあり、シュノーケル初めてでもとても楽しめました。海に降りた時の魚の数が半端なかったです(^^)

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.

Compared to the dolphin tour, I didn't see as many whales as I expected, only catching a glimpse of them when they surfaced for air. I would like to go see them again.

イルカのツアーに比べて、息継ぎで浮上してくる一瞬のみで思ったより鯨が見えなかった。また、見に行きたい。

Swimming with wild dolphins was AMAZING! We struggled to find spinner dolphins early May 15, but Danielle and the entire crew were patient and determined to spot other types of dolphins. We found spotted dolphins, in deeper waters, which are faster but amazing to see in the wild. The crew including Yogi, Tyler, and a couple others helped our ship of 25 or so passengers stay safe and calm in the water knowing exactly what to do as the dolphins and wild life swam all around us. Making sure the swimmers and dolphins stayed safe was at the forefront of our dive. We relocated to another swim spot to see fish and turtles in shallow waters and we got to play on the slide and use paddle boards the crew provided us with. Jade, the photographer/ videographer, was amazing in capturing our time on the boat and in the water. This crew was fantastic and my fiancé and I would recommend this excursion 10/10 as a MUST DO. The feeling iI got seeing this animals in their natural environment, so willing to let us be close to them , is something I will never forget. We purchase the pictures from Dolphins and You and I can’t wait to get home to upload them!

Perfect day. Great crew and beautiful weather and location. The snorkeling was awesome had close up encounter with turtles and heaps of fish. Lunch was also great thank you.
