All Reviews for For 3 Year Olds

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。

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done, but I couldn't meet the dolphins on this day... There was a large turtle, though. The staff were bright and friendly. I'm really, really disappointed. I think it would be nice if they could consider a partial refund if we can't meet the dolphins. It's not about the money, but about the feelings.

自然のことだからしょうがないけど、この日はイルカさんには出会えませんでした…。
大きな亀さんはいました。スタッフの方は、明るく親切です。
本当に本当に残念。イルカと会えなければ少し返金、とか考えて貰えるといいかと思います。お金の問題ではなく、気持ちの問題で。

I chose a plan with transportation and brought water with me. Juice can be purchased on-site.
It's better to bring a change of clothes! Since the return trip is by regular bus, it would be difficult to stay wet. The air conditioning is also effective.
Unlike in Japan, there were thrilling slides, so adults could enjoy themselves too.
Additionally, it wasn't crowded, and there was almost no waiting time.
Waiting for just under 30 minutes to enter was tough in the strong sunlight.
Since I had read experiences beforehand, I was able to leave my valuables on a bench without worry.
Most of the visitors were Japanese or locals.
There were pictures of items like hamburgers, so even if you can't speak English, you can manage when ordering.

送迎ありのプランにし、水を持っていきました。ジュースは現地で購入です。
着替えを持参した方がいいです！
帰りも普通のバスの為、濡れたままは難しいと思います。クーラーも効いています。
日本のとは違って、スリル感満載のスライダーがあったりしたので、大人も楽しめました。
また、混んでなく、待ち時間はほぼなし。
入園するまでに30分弱待ったのが、日差しが強い中で大変でした。
事前に体験談を見ていたので、貴重品はほぼ持たずに、ベンチに荷物を置いていても大丈夫でした。
日本人、現地の人？が大半です。
ハンバーガーなどは写真があったりしたので、注文時も英語が話せなくても何とかなりました。

We arrived at the sandbar a little past the time of the lowest tide, so we didn't see the magnificent sandbar we had envisioned. However, we were able to have fun playing in the beautiful shallow waters offshore, even with the deep sea being a bit scary for the kids. During our subsequent sea turtle search, we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles. Furthermore, during the snorkeling, although the visibility was low, the friendly and fun staff helped create a relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable optional tour for all the participants.

サンドバーに到着した時間は、最も潮が引く時間帯を少し過ぎていたようで、描いていたような見事なサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、美しい沖の浅瀬で、まだ深い海が怖い子供とも楽しく遊ぶ事ができました。その後に行ったウミガメ探しでは、沢山のウミガメに出会うことが出来て感動でした。さらにその後のシュノーケリングでは、透明度は低かったのですが、親切かつ楽しいスタッフの方々の盛り上げもあり、沢山いた参加者もリラックスして楽しめるオプショナルツアーでした。

It was a pleasant cruise with great weather. Everyone on the deck was thrilled when a mother and baby whale spouted together! On the way back, a pod of dolphins appeared and put on an impressive spin show. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and I think it was enjoyable as a cruise even if we hadn't seen any whales.

天気もよく気持ちよいクルーズでした。クジラの親子がそろって潮吹きしたのでデッキのみんなは大興奮！
帰路にはイルカの群れが現れ、派手なスピンを見せてくれました。
朝食バイキングもおいしく、たとえクジラが見られなかったとしてもクルーズとして楽しめる内容だと思いました。

Our driver was prompt and very friendly. The hike itself was not as touristy as Diamond Head and very beautiful.

It was a windy day in early March, so it was cold and I stayed inside the boat the whole time (laughs), but once the sun came out and I got in the sea, it was fine! (laughs) I was thrilled to see a sea turtle right beneath my feet while snorkeling! The instructor was very kind and took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! ♫

3月上旬で風の強い日だったので寒くて船の中にずっと居ました（笑）が、日が出れば暖かく海に一回入ってしまえばへっちゃらでした！（笑）
シュノーケリングでウミガメが足下に居て感動しました！インストラクターの方が親切にたくさん写真撮って頂いて良い思い出になりました♫

I participated with my 5-year-old child. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. The sandbar was exactly as I imagined it would be for my child, and it was truly moving. It was so beautiful.

After playing, we were hungry for some delicious hamburgers! The staff were very kind, their smiles warm, and they made us feel very welcome.

The sea turtle watching was thrilling, as we saw everything from adult turtles to baby turtles! My child kept saying how glad they were to be here, and I felt it was a great decision to book this tour.

Then came snorkeling! My daughter was worried since it was her first time, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand. We first practiced how to use the snorkeling gear in the shallow sandbar. Finally, we ventured into the deeper sea where we could see coral and fish. We put on life jackets and gave my child a float like a pole. I was nervous too. The staff kindly supported my daughter, who was unfamiliar with it!

Both my daughter and I relaxed and entered the world of coral and fish. After a break on the boat, my daughter expressed her desire to go back into the sea. During our second dive, we encountered a sea turtle. It was so cute, and the sight of us swimming together is still vividly etched in my memory. My daughter was so excited, saying it was adorable!

We truly spent a wonderful dream-like time. This was all thanks to the staff's detailed care. Thank you very much! I highly recommend this experience!

5歳の子供と2人で参加しました。お天気も良く最高な日でした。
サンドバーは子どもの喜ぶ様子が予想でき、まさに感動そのもの。とっても美しかったです。
遊んでお腹空いたところで、美味しいハンバーガー‼️
スタッフの方々がとっても親切で笑顔があたたかく、とっても感じよかったです。
そして、ウミガメウオッチングは、大人の亀から子亀まで見れて大興奮‼️子供がここにきてよかったーと何度も言って、このツアーを申し込んでよかったと思いました。
そして、シュノーケル！娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、とっても心配してましたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったです。まずは、浅いサンドバーでシュノーケルの扱い方を練習。いよいよ、珊瑚、お魚の見える深い海です。ライフジャケット着て、ポールのような浮輪を子供にもたせました。私も緊張です。慣れない娘をスタッフの方々が優しくサポート‼️
私も娘も緊張がほぐれ、珊瑚とお魚の世界へと、、、
途中船に戻って、休憩して、海に行きたいと娘から言いました。2回目に潜った時はウミガメに遭遇。とっても可愛く、一緒に泳いだ光景は今もしっかり目に焼き付いています。娘も可愛かったね〜と大興奮‼️
本当に本当に素晴らしい夢の時間を過ごせめした。これもスタッフの細かいケアあってのお陰です。本当にありがとうございました。
是非是非‼️おススメですよ。

When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.

The weather, which had been a concern, cleared up and we had a pleasant start! YUKIKO's Japanese guide was friendly and made us feel comfortable.

There were many participants, so we had two boats: one with an English guide and the other with a Japanese guide. About 15 people went on the English tour, but since there were requests, we smoothly divided the groups.

We had an hour of free time at the sandbar, which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy themselves, and I was very satisfied. The freshly grilled hamburgers for lunch were delicious, but there was a big delay, possibly due to the large number of participants. It was disappointing to wait for about 20 minutes.

We looked for turtles from the boat and were able to see several, and we even spotted a manta ray in the distance, which was great. Finally, we went snorkeling around the coral reef, where we encountered a turtle underwater! It was a very satisfying time.

A note of caution: even though it was sunny, the water temperature is low during this season, so it can be cold when you come out of the water! It's essential to have a towel or something to wear over your swimsuit!

心配された天候も晴れて気持ちよくスタート！YUKIKOさんの日本語ガイドは気さくで気持ちよかったです。
参加者が多く、船は２艘になり１艘は英語ガイドもう１艘が日本語ガイドでした。15名程は英語ツアーに行っていましたが、希望もあったのでスムーズに班分けしました。
サンドバーでの自由時間は1hもあるためそれぞれゆっくりと過ごすことができて大満足。
昼食の焼き立てハンバーガーは美味しいのですが、参加者が多かったためか大渋滞。20分程立って待たされたのは残念。
カメ探しは船上からでしたが、何匹も見れたし、遠目にマンタも1枚見ることができて良かった。
最後にサンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリングしましたが、そこでも海中でカメと遭遇！大満足の時間でした～
注意事項は晴れていてもこの時期は水温が低いので水中から出ると寒い！タオルや水着の上から羽織れるものは必携です！

It's always fun to come here! There are various types of slides that the kids love, and we visit every time we come to Hawaii. I'm sure we'll come again when we visit Hawaii next time.

何度来ても楽しいです！
色々な種類のスライダーがあって、子どもたちは大好きで、ハワイに来るたびに来ています。
きっとまたハワイに来た時は来ると思います。

We had a precious experience together as a parent and child. We really enjoyed seeing the sea turtles, many dolphins, and manta rays, with great weather and calm waves. The staff were all kind, and they spoke Japanese, so we could participate without any worries. Thank you to everyone, especially Miu. I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii.

貴重な体験を親子でできました。
海ガメ親子、たくさんのイルカ、マンタ等、お天気も良く波もなく本当に楽しめました。スタッフのみなさんも親切で日本語も通じるし何の心配もなく参加できました。ミユーさん始めスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。またハワイに行ったら是非参加したいです。

As a result, we didn't see any whales, but we did see dolphins! On the day of our reservation, I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop, but they kindly allowed us to change to the next day. The staff were friendly, and although we didn't see any whales, we were satisfied with seeing the dolphins!

結果、クジラは見えませんでした。イルカは見れました！予約した当日、バス乗り場を間違えましたが快く次の日に変更してくれました。スタッフの方も新鮮で、クジラは見れませんでしたがいるかは見れて満足です！

We were able to enter as soon as the park opened, so it was easy to secure a good spot. There are many types of slides, so my timid daughter (11 years old) was able to choose and enjoy riding them, which was great. We opted for a plan without meals, but there were quite a few options like hamburgers and loco moco, so we didn't have any trouble. I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger, but it was delicious!

開園と同時に入れるので、場所取りも難なく取れました。たくさんの種類のスライダーがあるので、怖がりの娘（11才）でも選んで楽しんで乗ることができて良かったです。
食事なしのプランにしたのですが、ハンバーガーやロコモコなど結構種類があり、困りませんでした。ハンバーガーも期待してなかったけど、美味しかったですよ〜

It was a very enjoyable tour. There were many sea turtles, and both the sandbar and the sea were very beautiful. The BBQ hamburger lunch, with the meat grilled on the boat, smelled great and was delicious. There was a cheerful Japanese female staff member, which made me feel at ease, and the local staff were also bright and kind. I was able to enjoy the sea without worry. I can't swim, so I didn't go diving, but I still had plenty of fun. It was a great memory. Thank you very much.

とても楽しいツアーでした。
海がめもたくさんいたし、サンドバーも
海も、とても美しかったです。
BBQハンバーガーランチも船の上でお肉を焼いてくれていいにおいで美味しかったです。
明るい日本人スタッフの女性もいて安心して利用できたし、現地のスタッフの方々も明るく優しく接してくれました。安心して海を楽しむことができました。
私は泳げないのでダイビングはしなかったですが、それでもじゅうぶん楽しかったです。
いい思い出です。ありがとうこざいました。

It seems that my credit card payment didn't go through after I applied, but thanks to the courteous support from the VELTRA staff, I was able to participate in the activity on the day. Since there is a time difference, I wish I could have contacted them earlier, but despite the last-minute situation, they were flexible and responsive.

I also enjoyed the activity on the day. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it easy to ask questions if I had any issues. Since the activity is weather-dependent, I think it would have been even better if it had been sunny. I would like to try again!

申し込んで、クレジットの引き落としが上手くいかなかったみたいですが、VELTRAスタッフの丁寧な対応で、当日のアクティビティを行うことができました。時差があるのでもっと早く連絡できたいれば良かったのですが、ギリギリにも関わらず臨機応変にご対応頂けました。
当日のアクティビティーも楽しむことができました。日本語対応のスタッフもいらっしゃり、困ったことがあれば質問しやすいです。天候に左右されるアクティビティーなので、晴れればより最高になったな～と思います。またリベンジしたいです

The captain and tour guide were very friendly and informative. The view from the water was awesome. We saw a few fish and a turtle, which was great and unexpected. Just a very nice time out on the water.

The staff were very kind, and the service was excellent. I was impressed by the stunning views from the sandbar. Additionally, I was thrilled to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, cooked on a BBQ on the boat. The kids were very happy, and the whole family was extremely satisfied! Also, the staff's guitar playing and live singing were very pleasant and wonderful. I'm really glad I was able to participate in such a fun tour!

スタッフ皆さんがとても親切でサービスも良く、サンドバーの絶景に感激しました。また、シュノーケリングではウミガメと一緒に泳げたりして、これまた感激でした。ランチのハンバーガーも船上でBBQで調理しとても美味しかったです。子供達もとても喜んで家族みんな大満足でした！それと、スタッフの方のギターと生歌もとても心地良く最高でした。本当に楽しいツアーに参加出来て良かったです！

The guide was cheerful and friendly, and she took beautiful photos for us. The ocean was stunning, making it an unforgettable experience! The hamburger we had for lunch by the sea was exceptional!! We lost track of time while snorkeling and playing with the fish; it was truly the best tour! Thank you very much!

ガイドのお姉さんが明るく気さくな方で、綺麗に撮影をしてくださいました。海はもちろんのこと綺麗で生涯忘れる事のない体験になりました！海で食べる昼食のハンバーガーは格別！！シュノーケリングも時間を忘れて魚たちと戯れることができ、本当に最高なツアーでした！ありがとうございました！
