All Reviews for For 3 Year Olds

With excitement in our hearts, we boarded the luxurious cruise ship "Star of Honolulu." We chose the "no meal option," but since the gathering was early in the morning, many people were enjoying a buffet breakfast on board.

As we cruised off the coast of Waikiki, we spotted about three whales, but we could mostly see just their backs. Just when we were about to give up, we finally witnessed a blow (spouting) scene, which brought us a sense of relief.

　期待に胸膨らませながら豪華クルーズ船「スターオブホノルル号」に乗船。
我々は「食事なしコース」を選択しましたが、集合が早朝だったので船内でブッフェ形式の朝食を摂っている人たちも多くいました。
　ワイキキ沖合をクルーズしていると、３頭ほど鯨が見られましたがほとんどが背中の部分のみ、諦めかけていた時ついにブロー(潮吹き)シーンが見られ、まあ何とか安堵の気持ちになりました。

We participated in the Mini Dolphin Encounter with my 6-year-old child and my husband. I was prepared for the English explanation after seeing other people's comments, but perhaps due to the rainy season and the chilly weather, there were only the three of us. At the reception, they asked if we preferred the explanation in English or Japanese, and to my pleasant surprise, we received the entire explanation in Japanese (there was a trainer who spoke Japanese). Thanks to the kind trainer, my child was initially scared but ended up enjoying it, and I was glad we participated. Even though I didn't join in, I was very satisfied because I could watch closely from the side of the lagoon!

6才の子供と主人二人でミニ・ドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。 他の方のコメントを見て英語の説明を覚悟してましたが 雨季で肌寒かったせいか参加は二人だけ。 受付で説明は英語と日本語どちらがいいですか？と聞かれ、嬉しい誤算で終始日本語の説明受けられました。(日本語話せるトレーナーいました) 子供も優しいトレーナーのおかげで初めは怖がってましたが最後は楽しんでる姿見て参加して良かったです。 参加しなかった私もラグーン脇から間近で見る事が出来たので大満足です！

Seeing the sandbar was absolutely breathtaking!! The weather was perfect. We also went snorkeling after and saw so many turtles swimming in the water. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! The staff were all very nice and helpful and pick up was on time.

On February 9th, our family of seven participated. We chose the option with transportation, and the pickup was smooth. Upon arrival, we boarded the boat and immediately had breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, watermelon, pineapple, and drinks of coffee and orange juice—please refer to the photos. After breakfast, we enjoyed about an hour and a half of cruising. The weather was great that day, and we had a wonderful view of the streets of Hawaii and Diamond Head. As for the whales, we saw them very well. At first, there was one, and later on, two came to visit us, and we could see their tails clearly. I believe everyone who participated that day had the best smiles. I read in other reviews that some people experienced seasickness, but since it’s nature, I think it can’t be helped. We were lucky to have a calm sea cruise under clear skies, so we didn’t get seasick. This event was suggested by my wife, and I truly think it was a great decision to go. Thank you very much to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience and memories of our trip.

2月9日に家族7名で参加しました。送迎付きを選択しましたが、スムーズにピックアップしてもらいました。到着し船に乗りすぐに朝食でしたが、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、パン、スイカやパイナップル、飲み物はコーヒーとオレンジジュースで、写真を参考にして下さい。朝食後、約一時間半のクルージングでしたが、当日は天気も良く、ハワイの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドも良く見え素晴らしいものでした。あと、肝心のクジラですが、本当に良く見えました。最初は一頭、最後の方には二頭がやって来てくれ、いずれも尻尾が良く見え、当日、参加した人全員が最高の笑顔だったと思います。他の人の口コミで船酔いをしたとの書き込みがありましたが、自然相手のことですので仕方ないのではないかと思います。私達は晴天の中で静かな海のクルージングでしたので、船酔いをしなかったのは、本当に幸運でした。今回のイベントは妻の提案で行くことになりましたが、行って本当に良かったと思います。スタッフの皆さん、旅の思い出として、とても良い経験をさせていただき本当にありがとうございました。

With a large group of 60 to 80 Japanese tourists, there were about 40 people on each boat, making it a bit cramped inside. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, but the crew was very cheerful and energetic, which made it enjoyable. I hope to participate again when the weather is sunny.

日本人の観光客60～80名での大移動で、船1隻辺り40名いたので、船の中では身動きが取りづらかったです。天候もあいにくの曇り時々雨でしたが、クルーの方達がとても明るく元気に盛り上げてくれたので楽しかったです。今度は晴れているときに参加できたら良いなと思います。

I actually wanted to go to Maui, but since I didn't have the time or money, I looked for tours on Oahu. I chose this tour on a whim, thinking that a smaller boat might allow for closer views than a larger one. Plus, it was a bit pricey for a morning tour to ensure I could board again if I didn't see anything. The hotel pickup was on time. I was unsure whether to wear flip-flops or shoes, but since I could leave my shoes before boarding, either option worked.

I thought we would go further out, but we only went to a point where we could see the hotels along Waikiki Beach, heading towards Diamond Head. After a while, I spotted the dorsal fin of a baby whale in the distance, and I was thrilled to see it raise its tail and dive! We stopped there and waited for it to resurface, but it never showed itself again.

We went a bit further but still didn't see any more whales, so we turned around to head back. On the way there and back, we saw a pod of dolphins swimming close enough to capture on camera. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more whales. I wondered if the larger, famous boat we passed had gone further or if the afternoon tour would have been better. I can't say for sure if my choice was the right one.

I want to feel satisfied that I saw at least one whale, but I can't shake the feeling that if we had gone further, we might have seen more. So, that's why I gave this rating. Well, I guess it's just the nature of wildlife (laughs).

本当はマウイに行きたかったけれど時間もお金も無いのでオアフ島でツアー探しました。
大きな船よりは小さいほうが至近距離で見れることもあるかと一か八かこのツアーにしました。
しかも見れなかった時に最乗船出来るように少々高い午前中のツアー。
ホテルへのお迎えも時間どおり。
ビーサンで行くか靴で行くか迷ったけど靴は乗船前に預かってもらえたからどちらでも。
もっと沖に行くのかと思いきや、ワイキキビーチのホテル群が見えるくらいの所をダイヤモンドヘッド方向に。
しばらくしたらやや遠くに子クジラの背鰭が見えて尾びれを上げて潜る所は見れて大興奮！
そこで停船し再浮上待つもその後姿を見せることはなく。
また少し先に行くも再びクジラを見ることはなく方向転換して帰路へ。
行きと帰りにイルカの群れが至近距離を泳ぐ姿はカメラにも納められるくらいの時間で見れました。
が、もうちょっとクジラを見れてれば、と思ってたので少しがっかり。
すれ違った大型の有名な船はもっと先まで行っていたのであちらのが良かったのか、はたまた午後のが良かったのか、と色々後悔とまではいかないけれど自分の選択が正解かどうかがわからない。
クジラが一回でも見れたから良しとしたいところですがあの一回が無ければもっと先に探しに行って貰えてもっと見れたのでは、などとのもやもやは消えず。なのでこの評価です。
まあ生き物なので仕方ないかな(笑)

I was glad to see many whales, but I thought I would be able to see them a bit closer. Overall, I am satisfied.

たくさんクジラが見れたので良かったのですが、もう少し近くで見られると思ってました。
おおむね満足です。

We participated as a family!
Even as adults, we were screaming with excitement, and it was so much fun!
We returned to our childhood and spent the time sliding around with the kids, and before we knew it, time flew by.
I definitely want to go again!

親子で参加しました！
大人でもキャーキャー叫んで最高に楽しかったです！
童心に返って子供と滑りまくりであっという間に時間が過ぎました。
また是非行きたいです！

I gifted this restaurant to my brothers, and everyone had wonderful smiles. I decided on this place and communicated it on the day of departure, but VELTRA is a reliable company, so it was perfect for a surprise.

このレストランは兄弟にプレゼントしたのですが
皆、素敵な笑顔をしていました
ここに決めたのは出発の日に伝えましたが
VELTRA は安心の出来る会社ですからサプライズに最高でした

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

Absolutely beautiful! Omg, I can't even describe this beauty. Breathtaking & amazing. Being able to enjoy this creation of nature was beyond beautiful. My boyfriend enjoyed it too but I was mesmerized. Worth every penny of our tour.
We did Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour & it was excellent.
The crew was was just amazing. They were super nice, sweet, courteous.
Loved everything about this tour.

Our driver Larry was totally awesome! He was so knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. We received a great sightseeing tour of Honolulu/Waikiki and the surrounding area. If you request Larry specifically as your driver/guide, you won't be disappointed. He is very good at what he does. What can I say about Pearl Harbor? Everyone needs to visit this site. Unfortunately, the Arizona Memorial was closed for repairs so you will be given a boat ride in the harbor instead. But that's just a reason to come back and do it again.

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only caught a glimpse of the tail towards the end of the cruise, but this time, I was able to see both the spout and the tail several times! If you go expecting something like the promotional photos, you might feel disappointed. Everything from check-in to disembarking the boat is in English, so I was a bit worried about what to do in case of an emergency, but the boat itself was large and stable, so I felt safe on board. It was great to see the views of Waikiki and the east side of Diamond Head from a different perspective.

2回目の参加です。前回は、クルーズ終わり頃に尾がチラッと見えただけでしたが、今回は、潮吹きも尾も何度か見ることができました！
宣伝写真のようなのを期待して行くと、残念な気になると思います。
受付から船を降りるまで、すべて英語なので、万が一の時はどうしよう•••と思いましたが、船自体は大きくて揺れも少なく、安心して乗っていられました。
沖からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの東側など普段と違う方角からの景色が観られて良かったです。

This boat trip was amazing! The captain was extremely knowledgeable and even looked out for dolphins and whales for us! We werent able to see any dolphins, but we were able to see a whale. We also saw some honu's, (green sea turtles) and some really cool fish. He also had a lot of great jokes, which made me smile! Well worth it!

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

It was a rare perfect sunny day for winter. The view of the Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head from the boat was different and wonderful compared to seeing it from land. I was able to see whales five times, but they only appeared a bit far away, which was a little disappointing.

冬の時期にしては珍しく完璧な快晴。船から見るワイキキのビル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドは陸から見るのと違い良かった。クジラは5回見ることができたが少し遠くにしか現れずちょっと不満でした。

This whale watching experience was amazing. I was impressed by the onboard buffet as well. Another thing that moved me was the clear blue sea. I wonder how it becomes such an emerald green?

今回のホエールウォッチは最高でした。見れたこともありますが船内バイキングに感動してました。
もうひとつ感激したのは青く澄み渡った海です。どうしてこんなエメラルドグリーンになるんだろうか？

I participated from the morning of February 22, and the shuttle driver was a nice person. I chose the no-meal plan. Once on the ship, we were guided based on whether we had a meal or not. It felt like there was a designated meal time. During that time, guests without meals were left waiting. Fortunately, it was sunny, and I think we could enjoy the cruise comfortably. We were able to catch a glimpse of a mother and baby whale's backs. So, it might be better not to expect jumping or anything like that. If you're hoping to see at least their backs, there are many spots on land where you can observe them, so I feel this tour is worthwhile for those who want to enjoy the cruise without regrets.

2月22日朝からの参加で送迎のお兄さんもいい方でした。食事無プランを選択。船内へ入ると食事有無で案内されます。説明も兼ねてでしたが、食事の時間が設けられていたように感じました。その間、無しのお客さんは待っている状態です。幸いな事に晴れていてクルーズ自体気持ち良く楽しめると思います。メインの鯨も親子で背中をチラッと拝むことが出来ました。なので、ジャンピング等は期待せず行った方が良いかもしれません。背中だけでも見れたらな。という方は陸から観れるスポットも多々あるので、クルーズも楽しみたい方は後悔しないツアーだと感じます。

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Greg was unbelievably knowledgeable and so funny! All the stops were absolutely gorgeous! We would definitely do this again!!

This year, it seems there were unusually strong winds, and it was very cold (≧∀≦). I thought the sandbar would be shallower, but of course, the time of day matters, and I should have done proper research and made a reservation. The staff were very fun and wonderful people!

今年は例年になく？強風が吹いていたらしく、とても寒かったです(≧∀≦)
サンドバーではもっと浅瀬になるのかと思っていましたが、当然時間帯もあるわけで、ちゃんとリサーチして予約するべきでした。
スタッフはとても楽しい素敵な方達でした！

I went to one of the many Adventures at Kualoa Ranch with my grandson. I took him to the Hollywood Movie Site Tour and we love it! My grandson is 5 years old and he loves dinosaurs and was so excited to see the Jurassic Park movie site, and believe it or not he was so excited to see the sign that appears on the movie. Also, all that bones and of course the dinosaurs. He was so happy!!!
For me was much more then I expected, everything was so beautiful and the lady who was guiding us, I think her name is Fono, wow ... she was awesome!
Everything was so beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot! I highly recommend it!

I was a bit worried because there were many experiences saying they couldn't see anything, but I was able to see it right after departure. In fact, I saw it multiple times. I thought a smaller boat would allow for a closer view, and I was unsure which to choose, but in this case, the size of the boat didn't matter. The transportation was perfect. As for breakfast, to be honest, it wasn't good.

見えなかったという｢体験談が多かったので、少し心配していましたが、出航後すぐに見えました。それも何度も。
小さい船の方が近くで見えるかと思い、どちらにしようかと迷いましたが、今回に限って言えば、船の大きさは関係なかったです。
送迎は、パーフェクト。
朝食は、はっきり言っておいしくない。

I was able to see sea turtles! Since it was the rainy season, the visibility was a bit unclear, but the weather was nice, the sandbar was very beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish! It became a great memory, and I'm glad I participated! The shuttle bus was cold, so a jacket is a must! There weren't many places to put luggage or eat on the boat since it was crowded. Those who were able to put their bags on the bench first had to eat standing up. Isn’t there too many people on one tour...? The staff were all cheerful and very nice!

海ガメが見れました！
雨季とゆうこともあり透明度は微妙でしたが、良い天気で サンドバーもとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見れました！良い思い出になり参加してよかったです！送迎は大型バス寒いです。
上着必須！船には人がたくさん乗るので荷物を置くところ、ご飯を食べる所があまりないです。最初にベンチに荷物を置けた人以外ご飯も立ったままでした。１回のツアーに人を乗せすぎでは…？ スタッフの方は皆さん明るく良い方ばかりでした！

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales in the distance. However, it was disappointing that towards the end of snorkeling, while I was in the restroom, my gear was put away, and I wanted to swim a bit longer.

イルカや亀、遠くでしたがクジラも見れました。ただシュノーケリングの最後の方でトイレに入っていたら、道具が片されてしまいもう少し泳ぎたかったのが残念でした。

I signed up for a sightseeing flight plan on short notice, but I was able to change it to a hands-on flying experience on-site. Although piloting was a bit scary, it was an interesting experience.

急遽申し込みの為遊覧飛行のプランで申し込みましたが、現地で体験飛行に変更してもらい操縦体験出来ました。操縦は少し怖かったですが面白い体験でした。

This time, my spouse and I participated with our parents, a total of six people.
In the morning, we took a taxi to the location for our 8 AM checkout! It was surprisingly close and cost about $18, so I thought taking a taxi was a better deal with a larger group!
We chose a tour that only included sightseeing without meals.
The cruise lasted about two hours, and we were able to see whales, plus the ocean was really beautiful, which made both our parents very happy.
However, one point to note: since it was a large boat, we couldn't get too close, so if you're looking for a more thrilling experience up close, you might find this tour a bit lacking!

今回は私たち夫婦の両両親と6人で参加。
あさ、8時にチェックアウトのために、
私たちはタクシーを使って現地に向かいました！案外近くて18ドルくらいでしたので、
人数が多ければタクシーの方がお得だなとおもいました！
わたしたちは、食事をつけず見るだけのツアーにしました。
クルーズ時間は2時間くらいでしたがちゃんとクジラもみれ、さらに海が本当に綺麗で、両親共大喜びでした。
ただ一点。大きな船なので近寄らず、
もっと近くの迫力を求めるなら、物足りないと思ったツアーでした！

It was a wonderful experience in my life. sandbar is also unique site and unexpected view..I could see beach shore and fish from sea and stand on the sea!! how to imagine ? play volleyball on the sea
And english guider, singer, all crew are so nice and kind to be comfortable for us to enjoy activitie and bbq lunch tour.
I will absolutely recommend this captain bob's sanbar and snorkel tour to my friends and coworkers who plan to go on vacation in Hawaii.

Thanks.

I attended with my 1 year and 4 month old son, and I was happy that the crew members were so affectionate towards him. Since he doesn't understand things like whales yet, I thought it might be nice to participate again when he does. I didn't sign up for breakfast, but from what I saw at the buffet, I think it was a good decision not to sign up.

1歳4ヶ月の息子を連れて参加しましたがクルーの皆さんが息子を可愛がってくれて嬉しかったです。
まだ今はクジラなど分からないのでまた分かるようになったら参加してもいいかなっと思いました。
私は朝食を申し込みませんでしたがブッフェ台を見た感じ申し込まないでよかったと思いました^^;

I participated in an all-Hawaii cruise tour. I joined because I was longing to see the beautiful sandbars like in the pictures, but unfortunately, the water was deeper than knee-high... And above all, it was very cold since it was March. The snorkeling was quite chilly due to the low seawater temperature. However, the delicious BBQ lunch made up for those downsides! The tour guide was also very nice. When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely try to get my sandbar revenge with this company.

オールハワイ・クルーズのツアーに参加しました。写真で見るようなキレイなサンドバーに憧れての参加でしたが残念ながら膝丈以上の深さ、、、。そして何より3月ということもあり非常に寒かった。シュノーケリングも海水温が非常に低く凍える寒さ。しかしそのマイナス面を補ってくれるBBQランチの美味さ！！そして添乗員さんも非常に良い方でした。またハワイに行く際はこちらの会社でサンバーリベンジします。

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.

Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.
