All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The weather was clear with not a cloud in sight, and the guide mentioned how lucky we were. Since it was an attraction in the ocean, they kindly explained the precautions, which made me, who had been thinking it would be easy, take things more seriously. I felt a bit anxious, but thanks to their kind guidance, I was able to enjoy it safely. Meeting the sea turtles was the best! I will definitely participate again when I come to Hawaii!

雲一つないお天気で、ガイドさんもラッキーですねとおっしゃってました。海でのアトラクションなので、注意事項も丁寧に教えてくださって、簡単に考えていた私も気を引き締めました。不安も少し出てきましたが、親切に教えてくださって、安全に楽しむ事ができました。ウミガメさんにも会えて最高！ハワイに来たらまた必ず参加します〜

It was truly a breathtaking view, just as seen in the photos. The weather was also great that day, and everything was very beautiful. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, but snorkeling was a lot of fun!!

写真で見るように、本当に絶景でした。その日は天気にも恵まれて、とてもキレイでした。ウミガメは残念ながら遠くにいるものが見えただけでしたが、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！！

The crew was amazing. The drink service was good, and although it was difficult to find whales, they worked hard and never gave up, and we finally got to see them. I will invite my friends to join me for the next show, as I will be going to Hawaii again soon.

乗組員が最高だった。
飲み物のサービス、なかなかクジラが見つからなかったが諦めず一生懸命探してくれて、ついに見ることができた。観劇、また、近々ハワイに行くので友達を誘って参加します。

This was my second time participating in a dolphin tour in Hawaii. In a word, it was the best! The staff were all friendly, and it was truly a fun tour! I swam with dolphins as far as the eye could see, and there was plenty of time to enjoy activities like boating and snorkeling afterward! The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious.

I'm already excited about joining the turtle university! If you're considering a dolphin tour in Hawaii, I absolutely recommend it!!

ハワイでイルカのツアーに参加するのは今回が2回目でした。一言で言うと、【最高】です！
スタッフが皆フレンドリーで本当に楽しい楽しいツアーでした！
見渡す限りのイルカたちと一緒に泳ぎその後はボートやシュノーケルのアクティビティを堪能する時間も沢山ありました！昼食のチーズバーガーもとても美味しかったです(^^)

時間は亀大学に参加したいと今からワクワクしています⭐︎
ハワイでイルカツアーをするなら、絶対おススメです！！

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.

For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).

I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.

The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!

港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした（酔い止め薬は必須かと思います）
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見！30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです！

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.

VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

It was great. Saw lots of whales and got lots of pictures. Awesome ship as well.

It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.

It was great. Very informative and professional tour guide. They were filming the movie Jumanji while we were at the falls.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.

We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.

If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.

One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

ピックアップ場所で受付後 本日のアクティビティの時間と順番を記入された紙と手首に 色の着いたテープ巻かれバスで移動 当日は参加者多かったのか バス2台でした。海岸沿いに走りながらノースショア方向へ 約70分 牧草地帯が 左に見えてきたら クアロアランチの看板が 牧草には 牛 牛 牛そして 馬に乗ったカーボーイが 期待一気に高まります。ゲストセンターの前でウクレレ演奏するスタッフに迎えられ 各アクティビティの集合場所の説明受ける。あとは各個人が 選んだコース参加します。食事は簡単なバイキング

This is my second time at Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific. No matter how many times I go, I always want to return to this paradise. This time, the depth of the ocean was high, and the water's clarity was lacking, which was a bit disappointing. However, I believe I can't miss Paradise of the Pacific on my next trip to Hawaii.

これで2回目の、キャプテン・ブルース　天国の海です。
何度行っても，また行きたいなと思う天国の海です。
今回は、海の深さが高く、海水の透明感が無かったので少し残念でしたが、
次回のハワイ旅行も、天国の海は外せないと思います。

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!

There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました！！ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです！！
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.

From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。１度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で １００ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。２回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。

This was my first visit.
This trip included four adults and three children from my family, including my youngest who is only three years old, so we participated in the Dolphin Encounter that everyone could enjoy.
The weather was great, making it perfect for the tour.
The cheerful dolphin trainer and the very gentle and charming dolphins made the kids extremely happy!
They take photos of you kissing the dolphins.
However, those photos are quite expensive!
It's $75 for two photos of you kissing the dolphin on the cheek and on the mouth per person.
There was no way we could buy one for everyone, so I only got one for my parents as a keepsake.
Also, you can't get the family photo data unless you purchase the photos.
I would appreciate it if they could reconsider the pricing a bit.
The park isn't very large, so even the kids could walk around easily.
They were delighted to see sea turtles and baby sharks up close.
There are also play equipment in the park, which was great for the kids who were getting bored!
It's a facility that a three-year-old can enjoy, so it's probably more suitable for younger children.

初めて訪れました。
今回の旅は両親と私たち家族の大人4名子供3名。
まだ一番下の子が3歳なので、みんなで体験出来るドルフィンエンカウンターに参加。
お天気もよく、ツアー参加には申し分ない気候でした。
陽気なイルカの調教師さんと、とても優しくチャーミングなイルカを触れて子供達も大喜び！
イルカとキスしてる写真を撮ってくれます。
ただ、その写真がとっても高額！
1人につきイルカとほっぺにキスと口づけ写真2枚で75ドル。
とてもじゃないけど、全員分なんて買えなかったので、両親の記念にと両親の分だけ。
また家族写真は写真を購入しないとデータがもらえません。
もう少し金額を見直して頂けると嬉しいです。
Parkはそんなに広くなく、子供の足でも全然歩けます。
ウミガメやサメの子供など間近で観られるので喜んでいました。
園内には遊具もあり、暇を持て余す子供達に良かったです！
3歳の子供が十分楽しめるくらいの施設なので、小さなお子様向けかな。

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!

I want to see it again!

船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎

もう一回見たいですね〜

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

It’s been over ten years since I last visited with my older child, and this is my second time. Last time, there were quite a few people and long lines, but this time it felt a bit deserted with fewer visitors. Since there were fewer people, we were able to enjoy unlimited rides. Food and drinks, as well as bringing in floaties, are prohibited. However, they somehow allowed us to bring in unopened water. We had a great day, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back again...

上の子をつれて１０年以上前に行って以来２回目です。
前回はかなり人も多く並びましたが、今回は人も少なくさびれてる？という印象でした。
人が少ないので乗り放題楽しめました。
飲み物食べ物、浮き輪持ち込み禁止です。未開封の水はどうにか許してくれました。
１日楽しめましたが、再来はないかなぁ・・・

It was very empty, so I was able to ride the slides without waiting in line. The wave pool was surprisingly large compared to Japan, but it was a lot of fun. The kids' pool was also well-equipped.

とても空いていたのでスライダーも並ばずにスイスイ乗れました。波のプールは日本と違ってかなり波が大きくてビックリしましたが、すごく楽しかったです。キッズ用のプールも充実していました。

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.

これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。
私達は翌日帰国だったので使いませんでしたが、見れなかった場合は無料乗船券を貰えるそうです。（船までの送迎は別途必要）そういったケアがあるところはいいなと思いました。

The instructor's explanation about the precautions to protect the coral reefs was very clear, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea. The food was delicious, and the cleanliness was impressive. I truly felt that Captain Bruce lived up to its reputation. I think I will choose Captain Bruce again next time I go.

さんご礁を守るための注意点等、インストラクターの説明がとても分かりやすく、美しい海を楽しめました。
食事も美味しく、清潔感もありました。
流石、キャプテンブルースと思いました。次に行くときも、キャプテンブルースを選ぶと思います。

I had the option to have photos taken, and I was able to get some wonderful pictures. While the posed shots were great, I really loved the casual shots of me just walking on the sandbar; they captured a natural moment that I cherish. I didn't know the purpose of the wetsuit, so I went snorkeling without one and got really cold. I wish they had explained the purpose of the wetsuit beforehand.

オプションで写真撮影をしてもらったので素敵な写真が残せました。ポージング写真はもちろん良いのですが、ほんの数枚あったただサンドバーを歩いているだけの何気ないショットが、自然体でとてもお気に入りの写真になりました。ウエットスーツの用途を知らなかったので着ないでシュノーケリングをしたら震える程寒くなりました。ウエットスーツの用途についても事前に説明してくれれば良いのにと思いました。

Very convenient and pleasant cruise. Transportation was easy, staff was friendly, food was tasty, entertainment was entertaining. Very good date for a couple. Would reccomend to anyone looking for something to do for an evening.

The service was good, and the guide was knowledgeable, but it was necessary to be careful as there was light rain, making the ground muddy and slippery.

サービスはよくガイド担当者も博学で問題ないですが、小雨が降り足下がぬかるみ滑りやすいので注意が必要でした。

Although the weather forecast predicted rain, there were moments when the blue sky peeked through the clouds. I took a walk along the sandbar, which was about knee to waist deep. Despite the current, there were surprisingly many schools of fish, and snorkeling was great. Of course, I also got to see turtles. With the captain's special permission, I was able to try stand-up paddleboarding, and I had a blast! The lunch was delicious too. I would love to go back on a nice day.

雨予報のだったのに、時折青空も覗く曇り空。
膝から腰ぐらいまでの深さのサンドバーの海を散歩して、流れはあったものの意外と魚の群れが多く、シュノーケリングも良かったです。もちろんカメも見れました。
キャプテンの特別許可でサップボードも体験させてもらい、メッチャはしゃいじゃいました(^O^)／
ランチも美味しかったです。
天気の良い日にまた行ってみたいです(^^)v

I had a hard time figuring out the meeting place, and even when it was time, there was no sign, so I was wandering around the harbor. I was happy about the all-you-can-drink beer, but the cruise distance was too close to Oahu, and there were no whales around here, as expected. It felt a bit overpriced.

集合場所が分からず、時間になっても表示もなくハーバーの周りを右往左往して大変でした。
ビール飲み放題は嬉しかったが、クルーズする距離がオアフに近くこの辺りではクジラはいないでしょという距離で、案の定現れませんでした。ちょっと高い料金に感じました。
