All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I went with a friend.
This was the cheapest option with transportation included.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun; it was nice that it wasn't crowded like in Japan.
However, the lazy river wasn't operating, and the slides take turns being closed, so if the timing isn't right, you can't ride them.
It's nice that the lifeguards are relaxed, allowing you to take videos with your smartphone while riding.
I would like to use this place again.

友人と2人で行きました。
送迎付きだとこちらが最安値でした。
スライダーが沢山あって楽しかったし日本みたいに混んでなくて良かったです。
ただ、流れるプールがやってなかったのと、スライダーが順番に休止するのでタイミングが合わないと乗れません。
監視員が緩いのでスマホで動画撮りながら乗れるのはいいです。
また利用したいと思います。

There were various happenings before boarding the submarine, which was quite amusing. Exploring underwater in the submarine was very enjoyable, and the children were wide-eyed watching. The fish swarming around the artificial reef and the sea turtles looked very cute. I would love to see it again with my family.

潜水艦に乗るまでに色々ハプニングあり面白かったです。
潜水艦で海中探索とても楽しく子供たちが目を丸くして見ていました、
人工漁礁に群がる魚や、ウミガメがとても可愛く見ていました、また家族で見たいと思います。

The weather was cloudy and the scenery wasn't great, but the greenery was still expansive! It was a tour that movie lovers, as well as others, could enjoy! I definitely want to try again on a sunny day!

天気は曇天で景色がいまいちでしたが、それでも広がる緑！
映画好きの方はもちろん、それ以外の方も楽しめるツアーでした！
次は天気のいいときにリベンジしたいところです！

The weather was a bit bad, but I was glad to be able to touch a dolphin for the first time. I think it was a valuable experience unique to this place.

天気が少し悪かったのですが初めてイルカに触ることができてよかったです。ここならではの貴重な体験だったと思います。

Since my younger child was only 2 years old, we signed up for Dolphin Aloha, which is suitable for families. I thought they might get bored halfway through, but they were captivated by the dolphins' cute behaviors and were thrilled. My 4-year-old also had a great time! Sea Life Park was a wonderful place for the kids to enjoy.

下の子どもがまだ2歳だったので家族で参加できるドルフィンアロハを申込みました。
途中で飽きたりするかなと思いましたが、イルカのかわいい仕草に釘付けで大喜びでした。
4歳の子どもも楽しんでいました！
シーライフパークはとても子どもたちに楽しめるところでした

It was an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

プロのおもてなしをうけた体験でした　大きい船から飛び降りるとイルカも亀も近くや海底を泳ぐのが見えて興奮しました　肉肉しいパテのハンバーガーとパイナップルとスナック菓子、レモネードが軽食で出ました　いつも酔わないのですが　なんか　嫌な感じがしたので食べずに持ち帰りました（酔っていた人もいました）カメラマンも常駐していたので撮ってくれます　売ってます　初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが　何も心配はなく楽しめました　参加して良かったです　おススメします　

It was more thrilling and scary than water slides in Japan, but it was incredibly fun! Since the water pressure is strong, it might be better to wear sandals that won't slip off rather than flip-flops (I wore flip-flops and had to hold them in my hands or leave them at the entrance when sliding). It's recommended because both small children and adults can enjoy it, and there are no lines at all!

日本のウォータースライダーよりも迫力があって、怖かったですが最高に楽しかったです！
水の勢いがあるので、ビーチサンダルよりも、脱げないタイプのサンダルの方がいいかも(私はビーチサンダルを履いていってしまったので、滑るときには手にかかるか入り口に置いていきました)
小さいお子さんから大人まで遊べて、全然並ばないので、オススメです！

The attention and hospitality from the captain and crew were outstanding! They spoke Japanese, and their explanations were both interesting and easy to understand, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. The crew offered to take our pictures, which made us very happy since we were traveling as a couple. We were able to see sea turtles multiple times. My friend, who couldn't participate in snorkeling, was offered alternatives like stand-up paddleboarding and a short cruise, making it a very satisfying tour for both of us. Even during the farewell, they waved goodbye, and on the bus ride back, we heard others saying, "The hospitality is just amazing." I'm really glad we participated.

キャプテン、クルー皆さんの気配り、おもてなしが最高でした！日本語okで、説明も面白くわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。クルーの皆さんが「写真を撮ってあげる！」と声をかけてくださり、二人旅行だった私たちはとても嬉しかったです。ウミガメも何度も見られました。一緒に参加した友人は、シュノーケリングに参加できませんでしたがその代わりにSUPや短時間クルーズに声をかけていただき、お互いに大満足のツアーでした。お見送りも最後まで、手を振って、帰りのバスでは周りの皆さんからも「おもてなしが素晴らしすぎる」と声が聞こえてきました。本当に参加してよかったです。

This is my second time participating, and since the last tour was in the early morning, there were fewer people, and I felt like I could see the sea turtles and fish up close. This time, I could see the sea turtles from a distance, but they didn't come close. It's a shame that the early morning tours are only available until mid-September.

２回目の参加なのですが、前回早朝のツアーだったので人数も少なく、ウミガメも魚も近くで見れた気がします。今回はウミガメは遠くから見えましたが近くまでは来ませんでした。早朝のツアーが９月半ばまでしかないのが残念でした。

I participated in late November.

I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.

I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.

I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.

If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.

11月下旬に参加。

時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。

船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります！
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。

船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。

イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい！という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.

送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

We participated as a family of three. At first, we were unsure if the adults should just observe, but since participation was required for guardians with children under 10, we decided to join in. (If there's one person observing, you can take your own videos and photos from a distance in addition to the purchased photos.)

Since we arrived at 9:30 AM, we enjoyed seeing sea turtles and dolphins swimming in the pool until our experience at 11:45 AM, making it feel like a mini aquarium. During the sea turtle lecture, we even got to touch baby sea turtles, which I think is something you can't experience in Japan.

The pool was a bit deep, so it was definitely necessary to have someone accompany the children. The Japanese staff explained how to swim and interact, and when it was time to swim, they provided encouragement, making it a safe and enjoyable experience.

I'm glad we splurged on this. It became a wonderful memory. Throughout the journey, the driver kindly explained things in front of beautiful beaches and pointed out when we could see whales, making it a lovely tour.

親子3人で参加しました。最初は大人は見学にしようか迷いましたが10歳以下は保護者参加必須だったので参加にしました。（見学が１人いると購入写真以外に自分で動画や遠くからですが写真が撮影できます）

お迎えから到着が9時半だったので11時45分の体験まではウミガメを見たりプールで泳いでいるイルカを見たり水族館みたいに楽しめました。ウミガメのレクチャーではウミガメの赤ちゃんのタッチができたりと日本では体験できないと思います。

プールは少し深めなので子供の付き添いがやはりいるなと。泳ぎ方やふれあい方は日本人スタッフさんが説明してくれましたし、いざ泳ぐときも声掛けがあって安心で楽しく過ごせました。

奮発してよかったです。いい思い出になりました。道中は運転手さんがきれいなビーチ前で説明やクジラが見えたよと声もかけてくれたりと優しいツアーでした。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎

想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

I was worried about getting seasick since I get motion sickness on airplanes, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all! The captain's driving was amazing! During snorkeling, I saw a lot of fish, and a sea turtle even rushed towards us. I was told not to touch it, but it came over to me, so I couldn't help it, haha. The BBQ meat during the meal was very delicious. It's a shame I couldn't eat much because I was worried about seasickness. The staff's conversations were entertaining, and they even took a two-shot photo with us, making it a very fulfilling tour.

飛行機でも酔う程なので、船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めをのんだら全く船酔いしませんでした！船長さんの運転が素晴らしい！！シュノーケリングでは、魚もたくさん見れたし、海ガメがこちらに突進してきてきました。触ってはいけないと言われてたけど、海ガメから触りに来たから仕方ない笑　食事ではBBQのお肉がとても美味しかったです。船酔いが心配だったのであまり食べられなかったのが残念。スタッフの皆さんのトークが面白いし、ツーショット写メも撮ってくれてとても充実したツアーでした。

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!

We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.

The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.

I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.

At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^

集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。

船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑

いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。

最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^

Seeing dolphins up close was for the adults, while the children had a blast interacting with various sea animals at the facility, creating wonderful memories.

イルカを間近で見たのは大人が、
施設のいろんな海の動物に触れ合うのは子供たちが大はしゃぎで、思い出になりました。

This is my third time, and I was able to see sea turtles. I think there’s no better tour than this, so I definitely recommend participating. I suggest making an early reservation.

3回目ですが、ウミガメにあえました。こんなに良ツアーは
ないから絶対参加した方がいいと思います
早めの予約をお薦めします

It was just a 10-minute program, but I was able to feed the dolphins three types of fish, dance with them using my favorite toy that I chose, and take a lot of photos with the dolphins. I'm really glad I participated in such a fulfilling program!

I think my enjoyment was also due to my complete lack of issues with English. Since communication with the trainers and the reception staff is in English, I imagine that those who lack confidence in their English conversation skills might only enjoy about 70-80% of the experience.

たったの10分のプログラムでしたが
イルカに3種類の餌の魚をあげたり
自分の選んだ好きなおもちゃでイルカと一緒に踊ったり、イルカと沢山の写真を撮っていただいて大変身のあるプログラムで参加して良かったです！

ただ私は英語能力に関しては全く問題ないのも楽しめた要因だと思います。トレーナーの皆さんや受付の方とコミュニケーションは英語になるので英会話に自信が無い方は楽しさも7-8割になるのかなぁと想像してます。

This was my second time at Sandbar. I had previously known about Captain Bruce's tours but had avoided them due to the cost. This time, I booked it at the request of my companion, and I received services that exceeded the price. The food on the boat was delicious, and the number of people on the tour was not too large. The staff was kind, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは2度目でした。以前も、キャプテンブルースのツアーは知っていましたが、料金面で避けておりました。
今回は、同行者の希望でこちらを予約しましたが、料金以上のサービスを受けられました。
船上の食事も美味しかったですし、ツアーの人数も多すぎず、スタッフも親切で楽しかったです。

this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience

I thought snorkeling would be about swimming close to dolphins, but what I actually saw was dolphins swimming quickly below. After the snorkeling ended and we got back on the boat, I was lucky enough to see a large group of dolphins up close, and I thought it would have been great to snorkel with them at that moment! I heard that this was still considered lucky.

However, since it’s nature, I had to convince myself that it can’t be helped. The dolphin snorkeling was a bit disappointing in that sense, but unexpectedly, I also got to see turtles while snorkeling and tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, which was really fun. The staff were great too! The weather was beautiful, and it was a really enjoyable experience.

Since it’s nature, I guess luck with the weather plays a role, and while it was different from my image of dolphin snorkeling, I had a great time.

シュノーケリングでイルカ、思ってたのは近くでイルカと泳ぐという感じだったけど、実際見れたのは、下の方を早いスピードで泳ぐイルカを見る、というものでした。
シュノーケリングが終わり船に上がってからの方が、運良く近くでイルカの群れを大量に見るという感じで、この時にイルカと一緒にシュノーケリングできたらいいなぁと思いました！これでも運が良いらしいです。
でも、自然が相手だからしょうがないかな、と自分を納得させ。
イルカシュノーケリングはそういう意味で期待外れだったけど、まさかのシュノーケリングで亀も見れたし、はじめてSUPをしてみたりと、とても面白かったです。スタッフの方もいい感じでした！晴天ですごく良かった、面白かったです。
やっぱり自然相手なので、天気など運も関係するのでしょう、イルカシュノーケリングのイメージとは違ったけどとても楽しめました。

Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!

The early morning pickup was surprisingly ahead of schedule! It wasn't Hawaiian time! (laughs)

It took about an hour to reach the harbor. We had to wait on the boat for a while before encountering dolphins. However, we eventually came across a pod of dolphins!

When jumping into the water, you need to go with momentum; otherwise, it might be scary for those who aren't used to diving or snorkeling. We changed locations a few times and dove three times in total. It was quite intense (of course, it's okay to stay on the boat if you get tired).

Unfortunately, we didn't see many dolphins underwater, but after getting back on the boat, we encountered a pod of nearly 100 dolphins! After dolphin watching, we moved to a snorkeling point where we saw turtles and played with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

It was quite a packed experience, and the crew was cheerful, making the time fly by. I would love to participate again.

Oh, the eco-bag that serves as a substitute for a graduation certificate can be picked up at the Waikiki office (2nd floor of Waikiki Shopping Plaza) after returning to Waikiki. Surprisingly, it comes in handy for shopping in Japan, so I recommend getting it! (laughs)

1早朝のお迎えでしたが時間よりも早くバスが迎えにきました。ハワイアンタイムではないことに驚き！笑
1時間ほどで船着場へ。
参加した会は中々イルカに出会えず暫く船上で待機をしました。が、無事イルカの群れに遭遇！
海に飛び込むときは勢いで行かないとダイビングやシュノーケルに慣れていない人は怖いかも…
何箇所か場所を変えて計3回ダイブしました。
結構ハードです（勿論疲れたら船の上に残っていてもOK）
残念ながら水中ではあまりイルカの姿を見られなかったのですが船に上がった後に100頭近くの群れに出会えました！
イルカウォッチの後はシュノーケルポイントへ移動して亀を見たりSUPをしたりして遊びました。
かなり盛り沢山でクルーの皆さんも明るくあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。
また参加したいです。

あ、卒業証書替わりのエコバッグはワイキキに帰った後ワイキキのオフィス（ワイキキショッピングプラザ2F）へ貰いに行くパターンでした。
これが意外と日本で買い物をする時に使えるので貰っておくのがオススメです笑

I have used this place several times to celebrate my father's birthday. It started with a beautiful sunset, and after dinner, we went up to the cabin to enjoy the amazing night view. Each year, more hotels are being built, making the night view more vibrant.

親父の誕生日祝いに何度か利用させてもらってます。きれいな夕日からはじまり、食後はキャビンに上がって最高の夜景が楽しめました。年々ホテルが増えてきて、夜景がにぎやかになってきてます。

I finally got to see a sea turtle! I was so happy to see it up close, and the guide was bright, fun, and amazing! I was also thrilled that I could do stand-up paddleboarding.

念願のウミガメに会えました！
近くで見ることが出来て嬉しかったし
ガイドさんが明るく楽しく最高でした！
サップが出来た事も嬉しかったです

I was thrilled to see dolphins so clearly! I didn't expect to see them up close, so it was truly moving. The slide activity was incredibly fun!

イルカがばっちり見れて最高でした！
こんなに近くで見れると思ってなかったので感動でした。
アクティビティの滑り台が最高に楽しかったです！

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

I went with my son, who is in the upper grades of elementary school, and my family of three. This was our second visit, as we went last year as well. The weather was nice, the crowd was just right, and it was a very enjoyable day. Climbing the stairs to participate in the attractions was quite tiring, but my son enjoyed it without a care.
I definitely want to go again.

小学校高学年の息子と家族3人で行きました。昨年も行って、2回目の訪問です。お天気も良く、混み具合もちょうど良くとても楽しい1日でした。アトラクションに参加するために階段を上って行くのがとても疲れましたが、そんなことはお構いなしに息子は楽しんでいました。
是非また行きたいです。
