All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Captain John and his crew provided us with an amazing time filled with beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamondhead and the sunset from the comfort of a catamaran. The crew was also helpful pointing out turtles, whales and other wildlife when they were present. The option to order food for the trip was helpful and the menu options were great! The crew made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. This is a five-star experience!

I lived on Oahu, and have attended many of the popular, industrial, Luaus on the island. Due to Covid, most were closed, so we went with Waimea Valley Toa Luau. I can say it was by far the most intermate, and authentic luau I've ever been to. The "cheaper" tickets still have a great, elevated view. The members/staff/performers are all family and the demonstrations they have are authentic to their history. With the admission to Waimea valley included, you can easily make an entire day of exploring the valley and concluding with the Luau. It truly felt like a family cookout (which is the true spirit of a luau) and not an assembly line of people and mediocre food (as most other industrial luaus are). Homemade coco drink, and no less than 5 fire throwers at once, put Waimea Valley Toa Luau over the top for me. Also, not a coconut bra in sight...

Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! Staff was amazing, food was amazing-the overall experience was awesome! Will definitely do again. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Had an amazing night, saw dolphins! Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely worth it, wonderful experience!

Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.

Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.

I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!

コロナ前ですが、クジラを遠くに見ながらジェットフォイル船でお酒を飲んで楽しかったです。60over二人を連れてても全然問題なかったです。また行けるといいなー。

This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!

My kids have been anticipating getting out after a couple of lockdowns in Hawaii due to COVID-19. Saturday morning, while their Dad was off for work, we decided to visit Kualoa Ranch. After reading more of their implementation of COVID-19 safety protocol, we felt safe and confident to take one of their tours, so we decided to book their Movie Sites Tour. I also love the fact that HawaiiActivities.com never fails to provide most up-to-date information which is how we found this to be available on that same day.
Upon entering the premises at Kualoa Ranch, numerous signs were displayed to remind guests and staff about wearing their masks, washing hands/ hand sanitizing, and practice social distancing. At the entrance, they checked our temperature and collected our information (first & last name for each of my party members, an email address, and a phone number for contact tracing. Staff & employees, including our tour guide, were wearing face masks. They also installed Plexiglas in every counter (information desks, check-in, ticket desks).
When we got through the gift shop, and the restaurant, hand sanitizers & disinfecting spray/ wipes were also readily available in many areas. We felt safe.
With everything that has been happening around us, it was a wonderful feeling to be out and explore again. We enjoyed our visit, and the Movie Sites Tour was fun! My son (8-year-old) really loved it and have been asking to go back and do horseback riding. My teenagers said they learned a lot! The tour guide was funny and informative, made us laugh throughout the tour! He has great sense of humor; he even brought a dinosaur toy with him for our photo taking at Jurassic Park and I loved how the photo came out!
It was a great day! We were there as a family 10 years ago and we will visit again in the future.

Super fun experience! Very romantic even with a baby. I live on the island and want to do that again!

They accommodated my sudden reservation regarding Hawaii. The sandbar had amazing transparency. The BBQ hamburger I had for lunch was freshly made and very delicious. The boat was also clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.

ハワイについてからの急な予約に対応してくださいました。
サンドバーは透明度がすごく最高でした。
ランチでいただいたBBQハンバーガーはできたてで、とてもおいしかったです。
船もきれいで快適でした。
素敵な体験ができました。

I have visited many times. It's a favorite spot for kids, but adults can enjoy it too. I saw on Instagram that a singer known as the "Diva of America" visited with her family (though it was probably a private event), so I think it's definitely a place for families with children. I recommend bringing a jacket because the air conditioning on the bus is quite strong.

何度も訪れています。子供たちのお気に入りスポットですが、大人も楽しめます。アメリカのディーバと呼ばれる歌手も家族で訪れて楽しんでいる（貸し切りでしょうが）のをインスタで見たので子供がいるファミリーには間違いない場所なんだと思いました。
行き帰りのバスの空調がきいているので上着は持っていった方がいいと思います。

It was far away, but I somehow saw a whale (^_^;) While I can't expect much from the meal, it's nice that the ship itself is large and spacious. Since it's nature, you can't always expect things to go as planned, but if you're lucky, you might see some jumps. Please join with an open heart.

遠くですが、なんとなく(^_^;)クジラさんが見えました。お食事は期待できませんが船自体が大きくてゆったりできるのは良いですね。自然の事なので常に期待通りとはいきませんが、運が良ければジャンプとか見られるそうです。広い心で参加して下さいね。

The weather was nice and it felt very pleasant. I was able to see it a few times, but I had imagined there would be many more up close, so it was quite far away and a bit disappointing. I thought it might be dangerous to get too close, but it was too far to feel the impact. I think it's good to go with the mindset of just wanting to see a little bit! I wasn't able to see the appearance like in the image photos.

天気もよくてとても気持ちよかったです。
何度か見ることができましたが、もっと近くにたくさんいるのを想像していたので、かなり遠くて少し残念でした。おそらく近づきすぎたら危険だからかなと思いましたが、遠すぎて迫力はなかったです。少しでも見れたらいいな、という気持ちで行くといいと思います！イメージ写真のような姿は見れませんでした。

It was an incredible downpour. Before going, I looked at many pictures of Heaven's Beach and thought that since the water was about knee-high, I could enjoy it even though I'm not a good swimmer, so I made a reservation. However, due to the heavy rain, the water level was high, and at 155 cm, I was barely able to stand on my tiptoes.

The waves were rough and murky, which was scary, so only my husband went snorkeling while I waited. I was able to enjoy paddleboarding with others who were waiting, but I had imagined a calm, clear sea with turtles swimming nearby, so I was quite disappointed.

The lunch was delicious, and the crew on the boat were nice people, but the sea in February was freezing cold, and everyone else seemed eager to go back. It was at a level that could be laughed about, so I hope to have a revenge trip someday.

ものすごい大雨でした。行く前に天国の海の写真をたくさん見て、高さも膝上ぐらいで泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめそうだと思って予約しました。大雨のせいで水位が高く、私は155㎝ですが爪先立ちしてあごギリギリでした。
波も荒く濁っていて怖かったので、主人だけシュノーケリングに行き私は待っていました。
待っている人でサップ等をして楽しめましたが、膝丈の穏やかな透き通った海で亀が近くに泳いでいるのをイメージしていたので、かなり残念でした。
ランチは美味しくて船の方々もいい人でしたが、2月の海の雨は震えるほど寒く、他の方もみんな早く帰りたそうでした。笑い話になるぐらいのレベルだったので、またいつかリベンジしたいと思います。

We participated as a family, but the sea was rough, and seasickness peaked, plus we were disappointed that the whales didn't show up. The kids enjoyed the scenery from the boat.

家族で参加をしましたが、海も荒れていて船酔いがピークな上、クジラも姿を現さずに残念でした。子供は船から景色を楽しんでいました

This year's trip to Hawaii is my 21st, and I participate in this cruise twice a year, during spring and Christmas. I have many acquaintances among the band members and staff, and they always provide a fun experience. I will be participating again this year.

今年のハワイ旅行は２１回目で、このクルーズには、毎年・春とクリスマスの時期に２回参加しています、バンドマンやスタッフにも知り合いが多く楽しく
対応してくれます、今年も参加します、

I participated with my elementary school child. We entered right at opening and lined up for the available slides, riding them multiple times. Some slides are closed at certain times, so be careful about that. We didn't rent a locker and left our belongings, except for valuables, on a sheet. Lunch requires a lot of waiting, so we lined up early and had a light meal. The wave pool was also fun. The child got bored faster than I expected (laughs), so we waited a little until the bus back.

小学生の子供と一緒に参加しました。
朝一から入場して、空いているスライダーに並んで何度も乗りました。
時間帯で休止しているスライダーもあるので注意が必要です。
ロッカーは借りずに、貴重品以外の荷物はシートをひいて置いておきました。
昼食はとにかく並ぶので、早めに並んで軽食を食べました。
波の出るプールも楽しかったです。予想よりも早く子供が飽きてしまって（笑）帰りのバスまで少し待ちました。

It was raining from the morning, but miraculously, it cleared up at the sandbar. ☀️ I played volleyball with the staff, and the cold was blown away. The hamburgers for lunch were also hearty and delicious. My child spilled hot cocoa and got burned, but they quickly helped cool it down with ice and even lent us some ointment, which was really helpful. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff, we had a wonderful day.

その日は朝から雨だったのですが、サンドバーは奇跡的に晴れ☀️
スタッフの方とバレーボールをし　寒さも吹っ飛びました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも　ボリューミーで
美味しかったです
子供が　ホットココアをこぼし、やけどしたのですが
すぐに氷で冷やして下さり　軟膏まで貸してくださって　本当に助かりました。フレンドリーで陽気なスタッフのお陰で楽しい１日が過ごせまた。

On the last night of our trip, we decided to have dinner at a restaurant. This was our first time trying an Italian place, which is a famous restaurant always featured in guidebooks, so it was very helpful to be able to make a reservation in advance.

The food was indeed as wonderful as the reviews suggested. The portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little. The staff's service was attentive, and we were almost completely satisfied.

However, one disappointing aspect was that we were seated on the terrace, but the weather was unpredictable that day, and we experienced a sudden downpour. We were seated a bit in the middle and got a little wet. The couple sitting on the outer edge was exposed to the wind and rain, which was quite unfortunate. Additionally, the heavy traffic on the road to the north was a bit of a letdown.

Is it only possible to reserve a table on the terrace in advance? If we visit again, I would prefer to book a table indoors.

旅行最後の夜は、レストランでディナーをすることにしています。
今回初めてイタリアンのお店を利用しました。ガイドブックに必ず紹介されている有名店なので事前予約できるのは、大変助かりました。
お料理はやはり評判通り素晴らしかったです。量も多過ぎず少な過ぎずちょうどいい感じ。スタッフのサービスも行き届き、ほぼ満足できました。
ただ、ひとつ残念だったのは、テラス席に案内されたのですが、その日は天候不順で途中もの凄いスコールに………。私たちは少し中ほどの席で少し濡れてしまいました。一番外側に座っていたカップルは、風雨にさらされ、とても気の毒でした。また、北側道路は交通量が多く、少し興ざめしました。
事前予約は、テラス席でしか取れないのでしょうか。
次回利用することがあれば、店内の席で予約したいと思います。

Many reviews mentioned that the sea in Hawaii is cold in February, so I prepared myself for that. I visited in late February, but we were blessed with great weather and had a beautiful sandbar experience, which made it worth participating! The staff took many memorable photos of us at the sandbar, and we enjoyed a delicious barbecue until we were full, which left us very satisfied. We even encountered a honu (sea turtle) and had our first stand-up paddleboarding experience, creating wonderful honeymoon memories. 😊

ハワイの2月の海は寒いという口コミが多く、覚悟して参加しました。2月下旬に伺いましたが、天気に恵まれてとっても綺麗なサンドバー体験が出来、参加してよかったです！
サンドバーでの記念写真をスタッフさんにたくさんとっていただいたり、お腹いっぱい美味しいバーベキューもいただき満足してます。ホヌにも出会えて、初SUPも経験できていいハネムーンの思い出ができました(^ ^)

The driver who picked us up and the boat staff were cheerful and energetic, making the tour very enjoyable. The turtles didn't come close, but we were able to see them from a distance. Last time, they came right next to us, so I was a bit disappointed... (；∀；) I want to try again next time!

お迎えの運転手さんも船のスタッフの方も明るく元気でとても楽しくツアーに参加させていただきました。
カメさんは近くには寄って来なかったですが、遠くから見ることができました。前回は真横に来たので少し残念‥( ；∀；)次回リベンジしたいと思います！

A tour located a short bus ride from Honolulu. The views of both the mountains and the ocean are great, and the guides' explanations are entertaining. It seems to be frequently used as a filming location, so if you love Hollywood movies, you'll especially enjoy this tour. However, even if you're not interested in that, the scenery is beautiful enough to enjoy. Just keep in mind that the jungle exploration might be a bit challenging for those who get motion sickness.

ホノルルからバスでしばらく行った場所でのツアー。
山も海も眺めがよく，またガイドさんたちの説明も面白い。
映画ロケ地として頻繁に使われているようなので，ハリウッド映画が好きなら特に楽しめるツアー。でも関心が無くても，景色は十分に綺麗で楽しめます。
ただジャングル探検は車酔いするひとにはちょっと大変かもしれません。

I was able to see whales quite well. However, it may depend a lot on luck. When I went, it seemed that there was only one whale nearby, and I saw it come up to the surface a few times. There are times when you can see multiple whales. You can't get too close to the whales (it seems that getting too close is prohibited). Also, when they come up for air, they dive back down, so you have to wait for a while for them to surface again. The whales are great, but the rainbow was very beautiful, and you can also see Waikiki Beach from the ocean side. That view was nice as well.

鯨はしっかり見られました。
ただしかなり運にも左右されるかもです。自分が行ったときには一頭しか近くにはいなかったようで，それが海面まで上がってくるのを何回か見た感じです。
何頭も見られるときもあるようです。
鯨はそこまで間近で見られるわけではありません（あまり近づくのは禁止されているようです）
また息継ぎをすると潜ってしまうので，次上がってくるのをしばらく待つことになります。
鯨も良いですが，虹がとてもきれいに見え，またワイキキビーチを海側から見えます。そちらの眺めも良かったですね。

The weather was unfortunately not great, but there were plenty of fish playing around while snorkeling, and a sea turtle was swimming right next to us. The barbecue after getting back on the boat was also fantastic!

生憎の天気でしたが、シュノーケルではたくさんの魚が戯れており海亀もほんのすぐ横をすいすい泳いでいました｡船に上がってからのバーベキューも最高！！

Great time, great fun, great crew. Nice boat for this trip and we enjoyed our time on water. Thanks for a great crew, and just a slow down time to enjoy Hawaii. I will do this trip again next time I'm here. Thanks again. Captain Jerry in Texas.

It might be unavoidable at this time of year, but I really want to go during low tide! I checked the tide times and chose my schedule, but the tour didn't match the low tide, and the water level was still up to my waist. However, there is a thrill in being able to walk right in the middle of the ocean. I think it would be the best tour if you can book it during perfect conditions. I did see sea turtles and fish, at least. The tour was only with Japanese participants.

この時期は仕方ないのかもしれませんが、やはり干潮の時に行きたい！！ 潮の満ち引きの時間を調べてから時間を選びましたが、干潮時間とツアーが合わず、やはり腰まで水位がありました。でも海のど真ん中で歩けるという感動はあります。 完璧な状態のときに申し込めば最高のツアーだと思います。 海亀も魚も一応見れました。
ツアーは日本人だけでした。

My my what can I say about Captain Bobs?! I have now gone on Captain Bobs Adventure 3 times now!! Everytime I have visited Hawaii, I have taken new friends and family to experience this amazing tour that is fun filled for all ages. The crew is exceptionally welcoming and entertaining and it is just one of the best experiences I've had in Hawaii.

You can either get picked up by their shuttle or drive yourself to the pickup spot and your day goes from about 10:30-3:00pm give or take. They continue the tour rain or shine so if the weather seems kind of gloomy, be sure to take a light rain coat! The first two times I went the weather was nice and sunny, however the last time I went there were scattered showers that were on and off throughout the whole tour. It did get a little chilly but once you're swimming in the water it's not so bad.

My favorite part of Captain Bobs is the Sandbar part where you get to play volleyball, stand in the middle of the ocean, and eat some delicious burgers, beans, and nachos after! You get to see a bunch of sea turtles swimming while on the way to the Snorkeling area and then you get to snorkel among the reef, Since it got kind of chilly after they even gave us hot chocolate/tea!

My recommendations are: bring sunglasses, towel, light rain jacket, water shoes, underwater phone case to take photos, snacks, and most of all, bring your A game to play volleyball!

I participated in whale watching. I was able to see 4 or 5 whales spouting in the distance. I was thrilled to see the whales, but it was also great to be on a boat with many native speakers, which added to the atmosphere.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠くのかなたで潮を吹いているクジラを4、5頭見られました。くじらを見たことも感激しましたが、ネイティブの方が多く乗っている船で、その雰囲気がよかったです。

There were mostly Japanese groups. We were the only group of individual applicants, and I was worried about whether we would see whales. There were many announcements in Japanese, and we were able to see whales several times right next to the boat. Even dolphins came close to the boat. I am very satisfied.

日本人は、団体ばかり。個人申込の日本人グループは自分たちだけ、クジラも会えるか心配でした。
日本語の案内も多く、クジラも何度も船のそばで見る事ができました。イルカまで船の近くまでやって来ました。大満足です。
