All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

First, it's a good idea to thoroughly check the tide schedule and book your tour on a day when the low tide aligns with the sandbar experience. This will determine everything about the tour. We went on a day with a water depth of about 60 cm (which was the best day for us). Since we were aware of this, we weren't disappointed, and even with a water depth of 60 cm, it was still an amazing experience, so we enjoyed it thoroughly.

During the snorkeling, although there weren't many types, we were able to see a lot of fish. For lunch, we had healthy food, which is great during a trip when it's easy to lack vegetables. On the day we went, there was a decent amount of wind, so the sea kayaking was canceled, but we were able to do a little bit of stand-up paddleboarding (they teach you how to ride beforehand), and the kids could play with floaties and on the sea carpet, allowing us to spend a very fulfilling time. We even saw a sea turtle!

まず、潮の満ち引きをしっかり調べて、旅行の日程の中から干潮とサンドバー体験の時間が合う日を狙って予約するといいです。
それによって、このツアーは全てが決まります。
私たちは水深60cmくらいの日に行きました（これが一番合う日でした）。
分かっていたことなのでがっかりすることもなかったですし、水深60cmでもやっぱり凄いことに変わりはないので、充分楽しめました。
そして、その後のシュノーケルでは種類は少ないもののたくさんの魚を見られました。
お昼ご飯は、野菜不足になりやすい旅行中には嬉しい、ヘルシーなものです。
私たちが行った日は風がそこそこあり、シーカヤックは中止でしたが、少しだけSUPもでき（事前に乗り方を教えてもらえます）、ちびっこたちは浮き輪や海の上のじゅうたんでも遊べ、かなり密度の濃い時間を過ごせました。
ウミガメも一匹見られましたよ！

It was authentic Italian cuisine and very delicious. The pasta, of course, as well as the appetizers, meat, and desserts were all excellent. It's not a particularly formal restaurant, but both the taste and portion sizes are very refined. There is none of the typical American oversized portions. I definitely want to go back. However, since it's a popular place, reservations are a must. I could only make a reservation for a rather late time, but it was still worth having dinner at this restaurant.

本格的イタリアンで、とても美味しかったです。パスタはもちろん、前菜からお肉、スイーツまで最高でした。さほどかしこまったお店ではないですが、味もボリュームもとても上品です。アメリカ特有の大味大量感はありません。また行きたいお店です。ただし、人気店なので予約必須です。自分もかなり遅い時間の予約しかできませんでしたが、それでもこのお店でディナーする価値はあります。

This was my second time participating. I had made a reservation for Christmas, which thankfully was still being held, but it was canceled due to bad weather. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to another day and participate.

The boat had changed since my last visit, and it had been upgraded in various ways! Unlike Mikurajima, it was disappointing that diving was prohibited where the dolphins were, so we could only watch from above, but I was glad to see them multiple times.

Since it was a busy season, there were many participants, and I noticed several people getting bruised from bumping into each other while swimming. There were also quite a few people feeling seasick. Taking precautions is important.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling this time, but the crew was great at keeping the energy up, and the hula was wonderful, so it was definitely worth participating!

2回目の参加でした。
クリスマスもありがたいことに催行されていたので予約していたのですが悪天候のためキャンセルになりました。運良く別の日に調整できて参加できました。

前回から船も変わっていて、色々とパワーアップしていました！
御蔵島と違い、イルカがいるところでは潜るのが禁止だったので上から見るだけなのが残念でしたが、何度も見られたので良かったです。
繁忙期なので参加者が多く、一緒に泳ぐのでぶつかってあざになっている方が多く見られました。あと船酔いしてる方も多々見られました。対策は重要です。

今回はシュノーケリングで亀が見られなかったのが残念でしたが、クルーのかたが盛り上げ上手で、フラも素敵でしたし、参加した甲斐ありました！

It was hard to get up in the morning while traveling, but thanks to that, I was able to spend a fulfilling morning.

The scenery was amazing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, two adorable dolphins swam alongside our boat for a while, which was very soothing.

Important note!! Many people suffered from seasickness. It's essential to take motion sickness medication from places like ABC Mart beforehand.

We also took the motion sickness medication we got from ABC Mart as soon as we woke up, and we had no problems at all. Oh, I felt a little nauseous on the way back, though.

The staff were incredibly cute and enthusiastic!!

Even if you can't meet the dolphins, you can still have a great time.

朝なかなか起きられない旅先ですが、おかげさまで、充実の午前中を過ごすことができました。

景色最高。

イルカは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐ事は出来ませんでした。ただし、かわいらしい二頭が、その後
船にずっと付き添って泳いでいてくれ、和みました。

重要事項!!　多くの方が船酔いで、苦しんでいました。
ABCマートなどで、必ず酔い止めを飲んでおくことが大切です。

私たちもABCマートで求めた酔い止めを、起床とともにともに飲み、全く問題なく過ごすことができました。
あ、帰り際には少しだけ気持ち悪くなりましたが。

スタッフの方々の可愛さと盛り上げが最高です!!

もしイルカに会えなくても、充分に楽しめます

The seating was at a round table for eight on the first floor, and we were seated with others. There was live music on the first floor as well, but the second floor seemed better. The meal included salad, chicken, fish, pasta, and chocolate cake, but the taste was just okay. For drinks, the buffet course charges for everything except the welcome drink. After the meal, you can freely walk around the second and third floors and the deck. The fireworks lasted for five minutes starting at 7:45. While waiting for the sunset on the second-floor deck, we even caught a glimpse of a whale for a moment.

席は一階の8人がけ丸テーブルで相席でした。一階も生演奏がありましたが、二階席の方が良さそうでした。食事は、サラダ、チキン、魚、パスタ、チョコレートケーキで、味はいまいちでした。飲み物は、buffet コースは、ウェルカムドリンク以外有料です。食事が終われば二階、三階、デッキ自由に歩き回れます。花火は、7:45分から5分間でした。二階のデッキでサンセット待ってるいるときに、鯨も一瞬見れました。

The guide was very kind, and they took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar. I was also able to see many sea turtles.

案内の人がすごく親切で、さんどばーで素敵な写真いっぱい撮ってくれました。ウミガメにもたくさん会うことが出来ました。

There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and we also played beach volleyball. The weather that day wasn't very good, but I had a great time! The staff were all very kind, and I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

シュノーケルもお魚がいっぱいいたり
ビーチバレーもしました。
その日天気はあまり良くなかったのですが
すごく楽しめました！
スタッフも優しい方ばかりでまた機会があったら参加したいと思います。

It's an activity that can be enjoyed alone or with multiple people! The lively tour guides and the opportunity to swim with dolphins and turtles make it a lot of fun. Plus, there are tour guides who speak Japanese, so you can feel at ease.

1人でも複数人でも楽しめるアクティビティです！
ノリのいい添乗員やイルカや亀と一緒に泳げて、楽しいです(^^)
※日本語話せる添乗員の方もいるので、安心できます。

It's truly beautiful; walking on such a beautiful beach is the best. You'll definitely see sea turtles, almost as if they're being kept nearby!

本当にキレイ、キレイな海を歩けるってのが最高
ウミガメ100%会えます、飼われてるんかぐらいの距離感！

I was prepared for cancellation due to the strong winds that could knock down palm trees, but thanks to the efforts of the staff, we were able to proceed somehow. The experience with the two dolphins was the best experience for the children.

椰子の木が倒れるほどの強風の中、中止も覚悟しましたが、
スタッフの尽力のおかげで、なんとか行うことができました。
２頭のイルカとの体験は、子供にとっても最高の体験でした。

We had a great time enjoying the various slides with the kids. However, it was disappointing that some slides had specific operating times, so we couldn't ride them when we wanted. It would be great if the operating hours for each slide could be made public.

様々なスライダーで子供ともども楽しめました。
ただ、スライダーによっては、やっている時間とやっていない時間があるので、乗りたい時に乗れないので残念でした。
できれば、スライダーごとのやっている時間を公開して欲しいです。

The transparency of the sea was not great. I was hoping there would be a few more fish, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There weren't enough headphones, and there weren't any available for us.

海の透明度がいまいち。
もう少し魚がいるのかなぁ、と期待していまさしたが、残念でした。
ヘッドホンの数が足りておらず、私たちの分がありませんでした。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

The catamaran was a lot of fun, but I couldn't see any whales. I did receive a free change ticket, but since I'm scheduled to return home the next morning, I can't use it. I don't have any plans for my next trip to Hawaii, so I might not be able to use this ticket. I wonder how long it is valid for.

カタマラン号はとても楽しかったのですが、鯨は見ることができなかった。フリーの変更チケットはいただけたのですが、次の日朝には帰国予定のため使えず。次回のハワイ行きの予定が今はないのでこのチケットは使えないのかも。有効期間はいつまでなのかー。

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

First, you have to take off your shoes before boarding, but this was not communicated in advance. I was told to wait at the front of the deck to see the whales, and then I got completely soaked from a big wave! This was also not mentioned beforehand. I participated last year and didn't see any whales, so I tried again this time, but there was no sign of them at all. Other tours have been operating since January, but I participated at the end of December. Is it really possible to encounter whales at this time? The chances of seeing them seem almost zero. I won't be participating again at the end of the year.

まず、乗船するまえに、靴をぬがなくては行けない。が、その事は、事前連絡なし。
クジラを見れるとデッキの前にでてと言われて、待機していたら、大波で、びしょ濡れに！それも事前に伝えてもらえず。
昨年も、参加し、クジラが見えなかったので、
今回リベンジしましたが、見える気配さえありませんでした。
他のツアーでは、
1月からの催行になっていますが、
12月末の参加で、実際に本当に
クジラに遭遇できるのでしょうか？
見える確率は、ゼロに等しいのではないでしょうか？
年末にはもう、参加しません。

Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.

Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.

Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! It was truly moving to swim in such a beautiful ocean surrounded by so many dolphins and marine friends right in front of me.

At one point, I got a bit tired and waited on the boat, but instead, I was able to see the dolphins jumping all at once, and the crew played the ukulele and sang, which was really enjoyable.

The crew members were all cheerful and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and there was never a dull moment, in a good way!

One thing to note is that the snorkeling gear provided locally might be too big for smaller Japanese individuals, so it's better to either borrow a kids' size or bring your own!

This tour offered a wonderful Hawaiian experience, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of Hawaii's nature in just half a day, but what made it truly special was the crew's effort to help us create many memories. I definitely recommend playing a lot with the crew and the marine friends!

最初から最後までどこを切り取っても最高の時間を体験させてもらいました！
あれだけのイルカ先生たちや海の仲間たちを目の前にして、しかもとても綺麗な海で泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。
途中ちょっと疲れてしまって船の上で待機していたのですが、逆に一斉にイルカたちがジャンプしているのをしっかりみれたり、クルーの方がウクレレ弾いて歌ってくれたり等、色々楽しみ方があってとても良かったです。
クルーの皆さん達は本当に陽気で全員を満遍なく楽しませてくれようと頑張ってくれて、良い意味で隙が全然ありませんでした笑
一つ気になったのは、現地でお借りするシュノーケルは小柄な日本人だと大きすぎるので、全然キッズサイズを借りるか、もしくは持参の方がいいです！
とてもハワイらしい素敵な体験をさせてくれたこちらのツアーの魅力は、ハワイの大自然の良いところを半日で贅沢に味わえるのもそうですが、沢山の思い出を作らせてくれようと努力してくれたクルーの皆さんが本当に最高でした。ぜひ、クルーの皆さん達と、海の仲間達といっぱい遊んで欲しいです！

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。

The submarine was a bit offshore, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by boat, but the view of Diamond Head and the beach from the boat was amazing. The wreckage of the submarine, along with the remains of ships and walkers that have been sunk to create a reef, was impressive. I also learned about the efforts to protect Hawaii's marine environment, which made me realize once again the importance of preserving nature. While most of the fish were small, we encountered a sea turtle along the way, making it a memorable experience.

潜水艦が少し沖にあり10分程度船で移動しますがその時の船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチの景色は最高でした。潜水艦も海底に沈めた、船とか歩行器の残骸の漁礁が印象的でした。またハワイの海の自然を守る活動を聞いて努力して維持していること知り改めて自然を守る大切さを感じました。魚は小さいものが中心ですが、途中でウミガメにも遭遇し、印象に残る体験でした。

I participated alone. There were just under 50 people on the bus, and I was the only Japanese person. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, most of the attendees were from the mainland United States or Canada. The guide on the bus enthusiastically encouraged everyone to introduce themselves to those sitting around them, which allowed me to connect with the people in front of me, behind me, and next to me (thanks to this, I became friends with an elderly Canadian couple sitting behind me, and on the way back, I sat next to the husband and we had a lively conversation).

We were able to experience hula, tattooing, and fire-starting, which I think kids would also enjoy. The fire dance was so intense that we could feel the heat even as audience members; it was spectacular and thrilling. The excitement from the audience was incredible, and just being there was fun! There was a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and everyone in the venue celebrated together, creating a wonderful sense of unity. I think it's especially great for those on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries to create memorable experiences.

I believe you won't fully enjoy it unless you understand English to some extent, but if you want to fully experience the foreign atmosphere, I definitely recommend it!

1人で参加しました。バス５０名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです！結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです！

Beautiful views of Honolulu at night from the ocean, lovely food, and great, friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

Dom was a great guide. we loved the historical facts and being able to climb all over the Big Mo.

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.

潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。

I rented a car to get there. There were fewer people, so I was able to enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. There weren't many Japanese people, but there were a few here and there. There weren't many places to eat. It was a bit disappointing that we had to carry our own floaties and such.

レンタカーを借りて行きました。
人は少なめで、どのアトラクションもほとんど並ばずに楽しむことができました。
日本人の人も多くなかったですが、ちらほらいました。
食べるところはそのほどなかったです。
浮き輪等を自分で運ぶ必要があり、その点は少し残念でした。

The photo session with the dolphins at Sea Life Park was very enjoyable and fulfilling. However, while waiting for the departure bus, it arrived about 10 minutes later than initially scheduled.

The meeting point was in front of a different hotel, and as other tour buses continued to arrive, I started to worry that I might have gone to the wrong place or that I had missed the bus and been left behind. This anxiety lingered throughout the wait.

In Hawaii, it's not uncommon for things to run late, and I don't mean to criticize that mindset. However, the voucher stated, "Departure is at 8:30 AM. Please gather a little earlier," so I assumed the bus would arrive with a bit of extra time built into the schedule.

What was most disappointing was that there was an emergency contact number listed, and when I called because the bus was taking so long, I heard a recording saying, "The office opens at 10 AM." What does "emergency" mean in that context...? This only heightened my anxiety.

Ultimately, the bus arrived 10 minutes late, which was a relief, but if they weren't going to respond to emergencies, I would have preferred not to have an emergency contact number listed at all.

Sea Life Park was fun and incredibly enjoyable, but since the ocean was right in front of us, I took the opportunity to escape and go to the beach. The ocean was unbelievably beautiful, and I was glad I made the trip.

シーライフパークでのイルカとの写真撮影などはとても楽しくて充実していました。しかし、行きの出発のバスを待っている際、当初よりも10分ほど遅れてバスが来ました。
違うホテルの前での集合だったのですが、他のツアーのバスもどんどん到着してくるので、もしかして場所を間違えたのではないか。
それても見逃して置いてかれたのか、そのような不安がずっと付きまとっていました。
ハワイ時間ではオンタイムに到着なんてあり得ない。そのような考え方に是非を申す訳ではありません。しかし、バウチャーには「8時30分には出発する。少し前に集合してくれ」と書いてあったので、てっきり少し余裕をもったスケジュールでバスが来てるものかと思いました。
一番残念だったのは、緊急連絡先という項目があり、なかなかバスが来なかったので電話したところ、「オフィスは10時からあいてます」というテープレコーダーが流れてきました。
緊急の意味とは……？
と、更に不安を煽られました。

結果的に10分遅れでバスが来たので良かったのですが、緊急なのに対応してくれないのならば、緊急連絡先など載せて欲しくはなかったです。

シーライフパークは楽しかったのですが、もの凄い良かったのですが、せっかく海が目の前にあるので、抜け出して海へ行きました。
信じられないほど美しい海で、来て良かったなと思いました。

I thought I didn't need any of the options, so this tour with just transportation and admission tickets was perfect. As I mentioned in the title, there were only children and their families, but I would recommend it to adults who love roller coasters as well. There are sliders with angles that are unimaginable in Japan. However, I almost got whiplash, so please be careful about that.

オプションはどれもいらないと思ったので送迎と入場券のみのこのツアーがぴったりでした。
タイトルに書いたとおり子供とその家族しかいませんでしたが、大人でもジェットコースターとか大好きな方にはおすすめします。
日本ではありえない急角度のスライダーばかり。しかしムチウチになりかけましたのでその点気をつけて下さい。

This was my third whale watching experience. In the previous two, I didn't see any whales. Even this time, when we arrived at the spot, there were no whales, and I thought it was going to be another disappointment. However, on the way back to the port, the staff shouted "Whale!" When I looked up, a mother and calf whale appeared. I was really glad. The staff's response was also very good.

3回目のホエールウォッチング。前回まではクジラが見れませんでした。今回もポイントに着いてもクジラは現れず、今回もダメだったかと思いながら港に引き返す途中で、スタッフがホエールと叫びました。顔を上げると親子のクジラが出現しました。本当に良かったです。スタッフの対応も非常に良かったです。

I was able to enjoy the sunset and night view in Honolulu, and the food was delicious as well. I think the cost performance is good. However, after the meal, it was disappointing that the lounge on the upper floor was crowded and I couldn't find a seat, so I give it four stars.

ホノルルの夕陽と夜景を楽しむことができる上、料理も美味しかったです。
コスパも良いと思います。
ただ食事後、上階ラウンジに人がいっぱいで座ることが出来ず残念でしたので星4つです。

My daughter hoped for the tour.
It didn't show itself very clearly...
Just when I thought I saw it, it was on the other side.
But I did get to see its tail! ☺️

娘希望のツアー。
なかなか綺麗に姿を現してくれず。。。
見せたと思ったら反対側だったり。
でも、尾鰭は見れました☺️
