All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.

It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!

However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.

Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.

The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!

私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。

義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。

野生のイルカと亀に会えて嬉しかったです！



調子に乗って、船の滑り台を滑ったらムチウチ状態になり、帰国から大変でした。40代はアクティビティを選ばないと身体がついていかないことを実感しました…

海で泳いで水着がびしょ濡れになるので、寄港してから皆さん公衆トイレで着替えてバスに乗っていました。着替えは持参された方が良いと思います。

スタッフの皆さん、明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて半日満喫出来ました！

The sandbar was really beautiful!
I was able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling!
The final lunch was delicious!

サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングではウミガメにも出会うことができました！
最後のランチもおいしかったです！

This place is really fun! The slides get super crowded in Japan during the summer, but here, there are hardly any lines!! The slides are also close together, making them easy to ride. There's a wave pool and a spacious kids' pool as well.

You won't get bored even if you stay all day, but it's a shame that there's a set time to leave...

However, you can play to your heart's content all day!! I went in September, but this year I didn't take my kids to a pool with big slides during summer vacation. I told them we were coming here... because there are no lines...

The lockers are easy to find, and there are changing rooms and showers available.

If you have kids, they'll be thrilled! The height requirements for the slides are quite lenient, and they even gave a few extra centimeters!

ここは　本当に楽しいです！
スライダーは日本で夏になると　すっごく並びますが
ここは　全く並びません！！スライダー同士も近く　乗りやすいです。
波のプールもあるし　キッズプールも広いです。

1日いても　飽きないけど　帰る時間が決まっているのが惜しいところ・・

でも　1日遊び倒せます！！
私は9月に行きましたが　今年は夏休みに大きいスライダーのあるプールには
連れて行きませんでした。
ここに行くから・・並ばないから・・と。

ロッカーもわかりやすく　更衣室シャワーもあります。

お子さんいるなら　喜びますよ！
スライダーの身長も　結構アバウトで　2～3ｃｍぐらいなら　おまけしてくれました！

I always use Dolphin University without fail. I've never missed seeing dolphins! I've never missed meeting a turtle! This time, there was a little incident that delayed our dolphin encounter, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins in the end. The incident was something I probably won't encounter again in my lifetime, so it ended up being a good resolution, and we all high-fived each other.

My son (8 years old) loves turtles and brought a turtle doll from Japan to dive with, showing the real turtle to the doll.

After that, during snorkeling, we received food to give to the fish, and many fish came to us.

The hamburger we had on the boat was also amazing! The staff were all high-energy and entertaining, making for a great time without any boredom.

I also purchased some photos.

If you have a GoPro, it's very convenient. You can take lots of great pictures. I had some excellent videos of the dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't upload them.

For those who are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must!

イルカ大学は毎回必ず利用します。
イルカが見れなかったことがない！カメに会えなかったことがない！
今回は　ちょっとした事件があり　ちょっとイルカに会うまでに
時間がかかりましたが　バッチリ沢山のイルカに会うことができました。
事件は多分一生　遭遇することのない程のことだったので、最終的にいい事件解決だったので　みんなで　ハイタッチした程でした。

息子(8歳）はカメが好きで、日本からカメの人形？をもって一緒に潜り
カメの人形に　本物のカメを見せていました。

そのあとのシュノーケリングも　魚たちにあげる餌をもらい
まくと　たくさん魚が　寄ってきてくれました。

船で食べた　ハンバーガーも最高！とにかく　スタッフの方達
みんなハイテンションで面白く　飽きることない　いい時間でした。

写真も購入しました。

Goproあれば　とても便利です。良い写真たくさん撮れます。
イルカは動画だったので　とてもいい動画だったのに　載せられず残念。

酔いやすい人は　酔い止め必須です！

I thought I would see a lot of fish and turtles since it was a submarine experience, but I might have had too high expectations. Since it's in nature, I think timing plays a role as well. The price is a bit high too. The staff was very enthusiastic and made it enjoyable.

潜水艦ということで、個人的に沢山の魚や亀がみれるとおもったが、期待しすぎていた。自然の中なので、タイミングもあると思います。値段も高いかな。スタッフさんはとても盛り上げてくれました。

As others have mentioned, you might wonder why you would go to Hawaii and spend time at a pool. However, in Japan, you would have to wait in long lines mixed with lots of children to ride a slide like this.

Since we went on a weekday, it was relatively empty, and the lines were either bearable or we got to our turn in no time. There were many adults as well as children, so there was absolutely no embarrassment in waiting!

The sun is strong, so I think it's a good idea to have sunscreen and a rash guard. Also, wearing flip-flops or beach shoes is essential; otherwise, the heat on your feet will be unbearable!

On the day we went, we were worried because all credit cards were not accepted for locker use. The shops do accept cards, so I recommend bringing cash for the locker just in case.

The return bus was extremely cold due to the air conditioning, so it's best to dry your hair well and bring a long-sleeved jacket.

他の方も書かれているように、なぜハワイに来てプール？と思うかもしれません。
でも、日本でこのようなスライダーに乗るには長い長い列と子供だらけの列に混ざって並ばなくてはなりません。

平日に行ったので、比較的空いており、並びはしても普通に耐えられる列か、あっと言う間に自分の番が回ってくるかのどちらかでした。子供もいますが大人も多いので、並んでいても全く恥ずかしくありません！笑

日差しが強いので日焼け止めやラッシュガードはあった方が良いと思います。
あと、ビーサンかビーチシューズは履いて歩かないと足の裏が熱すぎて死にます！必須です！！

また、私たちが行った日はロッカー使用に全てのクレジットカードが使えず焦りました。
売店はカードが使えるので、念のためロッカー分の現金は持っていくことをオススメします。

帰りのバスは冷房が効きすぎてめちゃくちゃ寒いので、髪をよく拭き、長袖の上着も持参した方が良いです。

My friend and I went on this together and it was the first time for both of us on a submarine! It was really neat getting to see the airplane and ships that were down there as well as getting the chance to see about 4 sea turtles and even a small shark! The crew was very nice and professional and we had a great time.

The morning of the tour that I had been looking forward to so much!
To my surprise, there was unusually heavy rain around Waikiki for this time of year! As I waited for the shuttle, the bus arrived.

In the rain, the bus headed to Kaneohe Bay. On the way, the rain gradually turned into a light drizzle. (The bus seat heater is warm, so if it gets too hot, it's a good idea to let the driver know! lol)

Upon arriving at the port, a female guide entered the bus. Jamie, who speaks fluent Japanese, provided explanations that were both appropriate and super interesting! As my worries about the light rain and what would happen with the boat faded away, the weather also seemed to clear up!

We listened to an explanation of the day's schedule on the boat, and it felt like a comedy show, with everyone smiling. In about 10 minutes, we arrived at the heavenly sea sandbar! At first, everyone got off the boat to float around and walk in the beautiful sea.

Before long, we split into snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding groups, and off we went for snorkeling!!

There were so many fish! While spotting a coral wall on the right side, I could see a sea turtle right below me without needing to squint! I was so excited! (Everyone wanted to see it, causing a bit of a traffic jam while floating. Be careful not to kick anyone nearby, so we can move smoothly!)

As we moved a little further, surprisingly, a sea turtle started to float towards us!! I interpreted it as saying "Hello!" and my excitement peaked again!

The snorkeling lasted about 10 minutes round trip, and the staff were there to ensure our safety, so if you're someone who thinks, "I can't swim, and I might be scared..." I definitely recommend giving it a try!

After snorkeling, it was time for lunch. Oh my, it was delicious! There was a variety of food, drinks, and desserts, and I was very satisfied. After filling our stomachs, we had some free time.

From the anxiety before leaving the hotel, I ended up thinking it was great that I went, and I definitely want to go again!

Thank you so much! 🎶

もの凄く楽しみにしていたツアー当日の朝！
なんとワイキキ周辺は時期的には珍しい大雨！
「ツアー中止かなぁ…」と送迎を待っていると、バスのお迎えが。

雨の中、バスはカネオヘ湾へ。向かう途中から徐々に小雨になってきました。（バスのシートヒーターが温かいので、暑くなってきたら、運転手さんに言った方がよいですよ！w）

港に着き、ガイドの女性が案内でバスの中に。日本語がペラペラのジェイミーさん。また、この方の説明が適切かつ超面白い♫小雨の不安や、これから船はどうなるのかなんて不安が吹っ切れると同時に空模様もモヤモヤが吹っ切れたように回復！！

船上で1日の流れの説明を聞くのですが、すでに漫談状態で、皆んなニコニコ。10分程度で天国の海サンドバーへ到着！初めは、みんな船から降りてプカプカ浮いたり、綺麗な海を歩いたり。

程なくして、シュノーケリングと、サップ組に別れ、いざシュノーケリングに！！

お魚沢山いるーーー！右側にサンゴの壁を見つつ、良く目を凝らす必要も無いくらいにウミガメが真下に！テンションMAX状態です。（皆んな見たくてプカプカ浮いた状態の渋滞が起きますw近くに人がいると軽く蹴られたりするのでスムーズに進みましょうw）

また少し進むと、な、なんとウミガメさんから私達の方にプカァ〜と向かってくるではないですか！！「コンニチワ〜」って言ってくれたと勝手に解釈でまたもテンションMAX！

シュノーケリングも往復10分位で、スタッフの方々がしっかりとガードしてくれているので、「泳げないし、怖いかも…」程度の方は是非挑戦した方が良いですよ！

シュノーケリングの後は食事タイム。あらま、これがまた美味しかったです！食べ物飲み物、デザート色々あり大満足。お腹いっぱいの後は自由行動。

ホテル出発前の不安から、行って良かった、また必ず行きたい！と思わせてくれたツアーでした！

ありがとうございました♫

I was a bit anxious because I participated with someone who is not very familiar with English, but it seemed that many staff members understood Japanese, so there were no problems at all. For transfers and meals during the tour, you can manage just by following the flow of people.

Even if you get lost, it felt like someone would help you out if you were wandering around with your voucher. Since it's likely a space with only employees and tourists, there shouldn't be any danger of petty crime. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Jurassic Park is great, but I think you'll enjoy it even more if you watch the new "Jumanji" that was released recently before going, as it really feels like stepping into that world!

英語に不慣れな二人で参加したので不安だったのですが、日本語の分かる方が多く働いているようで、何も問題ありませんでした。ツアー間の移動や食事なども、人の流れについていけばなんとなく済ませられます。
もし迷ってしまっても、バウチャーを持ってウロウロしていれば誰かがなんとかしてくれそうな雰囲気でした。
おそらく従業員と観光客しかいない空間なので、軽犯罪などの危険もないでしょう。ほのぼのとした感じです。
ジュラシックパークも良いですが、近年公開された新しい「ジュマンジ」を見てから行くと、まさにそのままの世界なので、楽しめると思います！

My friend and I went one night when she was in town visiting and had such an amazing time! The boat is very nice and spacious and we loved having the net lounge seating to hang out on. The crew was awesome and continued to walk around the whole time checking on guests to see if they needed anything. You get an awesome view of Diamond Head as well as an amazing sunset view, I would definitely recommend!

my husband and I had a great experience st the stargazing tour! Greg was very knowledgeable and very passionate about space and the stars. He answered all our extra questions thoroughly. We also enjoyed the location, the hotel was beautiful and it was dark enough to see many stars.

I had my elderly father and mother participate in a tour. On the day of the tour, the tour company made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived an hour early, so they didn't come to pick them up no matter how long they waited. My mother managed to think on her feet and contacted the tour company, allowing them to join the tour that was scheduled an hour later.

The day before, I had provided the emergency contact information to the tour company, yet they decided to mark them as absent simply because "they weren't at the meeting place" without properly confirming. If they had checked thoroughly, they would have realized they had mixed up the times. What would have happened if my mother hadn't contacted them?

After returning from the tour, I reached out to the tour company, but their response was, "If you were able to join the next tour..." It completely ruined what was supposed to be a meaningful trip for my parents.

高齢の父と母をツアーに参加させました。
当日、ツアー会社が集合時間を間違え1時間前のツアーの迎え時間で来てしまい、いくら待っても迎えに来ず…。母が何とか機転を利かせてツアー会社に連絡し、最初に予定していたものの1時間後のツアーに参加することが出来ました。
前日には、ツアー会社に緊急連絡先も伝えておいたのに、「集合場所にいなかったから。」という理由できちんと確認もしないまま不参加と判断するものはいかがかと。しっかり確認していれば、次の時間と間違えていたと気がついたと思います。母が連絡していなかったらどうしていたのでしょうか？？
ツアーから戻って来てからツアー会社に連絡しましたが、「次のツアーに参加できたなら…。」という対応でした。
折角の親孝行旅行が台無しになってしまいました。

I was worried about the cloudy weather, but luckily, during our first entry into the water, we were able to see a pod of about five dolphins. Some people even had dolphins come very close to them. The instructor mentioned that it was truly a lucky day. Since there were participants who hadn’t seen dolphins a few days prior, I believe the chance of seeing them and how many you see is completely based on luck.

Since it was early in the morning, some people were sleeping during the explanation on the bus, but I think it’s better to stay awake as they discuss safety on the water and what’s necessary to see the dolphins. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

The snorkeling after dolphin watching was also fun, as we got to see turtles and fish. The visibility was somewhat low, possibly due to the weather, but it was very moving.

Since swimming requires stamina, I got tired while taking a break with my companion, and it was a bit disappointing that the goggles and fins were put away early. Since it’s something you put in your mouth, I thought borrowing them again might mean using ones that others had just used, so we rested on the boat instead, which might have helped conserve our energy. After everyone got out of the water, almost everyone was exhausted and sleeping on the bus.

The hamburger wasn’t particularly delicious, but I think they did a good job providing snacks and drinks that could be prepared on the boat. The staff were very cheerful and made it the most enjoyable activity of my stay in Hawaii. Their attitude towards caring for the ocean and its creatures, as well as their effort to entertain the guests, was wonderful. I absolutely recommend it. There were many repeat visitors, and I also thought I would definitely want to repeat this experience if I come back to Hawaii.

You’ll definitely want photos, so it might be good to bring cash for that. I paid for the fee while I was at the office to pick up my souvenir. On chilly days, they recommend renting wetsuits, so it might be wise to bring cash for that as well.

曇り空で心配でしたが、運良く一回目の入水で5匹程のイルカの群れを見ることができました。間近までイルカが来ている方もいました。インストラクターも本当にラッキーな日だと言っていました。数日前に見れなかった方も参加していたので、実際に見れるか・どれくらい見れるかは完全に運だと思います。
朝早いのでバス内での説明の時に寝ている人もいましたが、海上での安全とイルカを見るために必要なことを話しているのでしっかり起きていた方がいいと思います。おかげで安心して体験できました。
イルカ鑑賞後のシュノーケリングでもカメや魚を見れて楽しかったです。天気のせいかやや透明度は低かったですが、とても感動的でした。
泳ぐのに体力が必要なので疲れてしまった連れと休憩に上がっていたら、ゴーグルとフィンを早々と片付けられてしまったのは唯一残念でした。口にくわえるものなのでもう一度借りても他の人が使ったばかりのものかも…と思い、そのまま船上で休憩しましたが、かえって体力温存にはなったかもしれません。みんな海から上がった後はくたびれていて、バス内でもほぼ全員寝ていました。
ハンバーガーは特に美味しくはありませんでしたが、船上で準備できるものとしてはスナックや飲み物など含めて十分頑張られていると思います。
スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気に盛り上げてくれて、ハワイ滞在の中で一番楽しいアクティビティになりました。海と海の生き物を大切にする姿勢、お客さんを楽しませようという姿勢が素晴らしかったです。絶対におススメです。リピーターも多く、私もまたハワイに来たら是非リピートしたいと思いました。
写真も絶対に欲しくなりますので、その分の現金は持っていっていいかも。私は記念品をもらいにオフィスに行くついでに料金を支払いました。
肌寒い天気の日はウェットスーツのレンタルを勧められるので、その分の現金も持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

The guide was really great at getting everyone excited, and it was so much fun from start to finish! We were able to see a lot of sea turtles and also saw many fish while snorkeling! We took plenty of photos, creating wonderful memories—just the best!!

We could also use the SUP and canoe, so we never got bored during our free time! The lunch, including Leonard's donuts, was fantastic! I definitely want to use this service again!!! Thank you so much!☆

ガイドさんもすごく盛り上げ上手でスタートから
終わりまでとっても楽しかった！＾＾
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、シュノーケルでも沢山の魚を見ることができました！
たくさん写真も撮ってもらうことができ、
素敵な思い出を残せて最高！！☆

SUPやカヌーも利用でき、自由時間も退屈することはありませんでした！
お昼ご飯、レナーズのドーナツも最高でした！
また利用したいと思います！！！＾＾
ありがとうございました！☆

At Angel's Sea, you can really dive into the water, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit under your clothes. It's a very satisfying tour. I would like to participate again.

天使の海では結構がっつり海に入るので、水着を服の下に着ていくなどすると良いです。とても満足度の高いツアー。また参加したいと思います。

We all participated in a wedding in Hawaii with both families. There were about 10 of us in total, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the experience!

We were thrilled to see sea turtles and were amazed by the mysterious scenery of the sandbar. The snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish, creating wonderful memories. Although I couldn't eat much, I definitely want to participate again!

ハワイでウェディングした時に両家みんなで参加しました。
総勢10名くらいで、全員大満足な内容でした！

ウミガメも見えて大はしゃぎし、サンドバーの不思議な光景に圧巻。
シュノーケリングも十分魚たちが見えてとてもいい思い出です。
食事はそんなに食べられなかったけど、また参加したいなと思います！

I played beach volleyball at Angel's Beach.
I had a great interaction with foreign visitors.
I was also able to see sea turtles.

天使の海でビーチ・バレーをしました。
外国人の人たちと楽しい触れ合いができました。
またウミガメも見る事ができました。

I participated in the morning sandbar tour and explored Kailua. The water level at the sandbar was a bit high, around waist-deep, but it wasn't a concern. During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles, and the scenery was very beautiful. I wonder if the water level varies seasonally.

I also enjoyed exploring Kailua thoroughly in the afternoon. It was a very sunny day, but the cold water service on the way back was a great help.

The staff members were the friendliest and most pleasant I encountered during my stay. I highly recommend this experience. I'm considering joining the early morning tour next time.

朝イチではないら午前中のサンドバー+カイルア散策に参加。
サンドバーは水位が腰くらいで少し高めでしたが、気になりませんでした。シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることもでき、とても綺麗な風景でした。水位については季節的なものもあるのでしょうか。
カイルア散策も午後から十分に楽しむことができました。とても日差しが強い日でしたが帰りに冷たい水のサービスがあり助かりました。

スタッフの方々は今回の滞在期間中で1番親しみやすく、感じが良い方ばかりでした。
とてもオススメです。次は朝イチのツアーにも参加してみようか検討中です。

This was my second trip to Hawaii, but this time I traveled with my one-year-old child. I was looking for activities that would be enjoyable for kids, and choosing this was definitely the right decision! The staff on-site spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations, making our first interaction with dolphins a wonderful memory. Even my shy child managed to smile and get a photo with the dolphin thanks to the instructor's assistance! Next time, I want to participate in the swimming experience together.

ハワイは2回目でしたが、今回は1歳の子どもを連れて旅行。子どもでも楽しめるアクティビティを、と思っていたところ、こちらを選んで大正解！
現地には日本語を話せるスタッフの方が、丁寧に説明をしてくれて、初めてのイルカとの触れ合いがとても良い思い出になりました。
恥ずかしがり屋の子どもも、インストラクターのアテンドで笑顔でイルカとのツーショットもゲット！
今度は、一緒に泳ぐ方に参加したいと思います。

I suddenly participated with my one-year-old grandchild. When I called to confirm the day before, I was told that it was fine for babies to join. It was a very kind tour. I would like to participate again.

急遽１歳の孫を連れて参加。前日に電話で確認をしたところ、赤ちゃんも参加大丈夫とのことでした。とても優しいツアーです。また参加したいです。

I finally participated in the sandbar that I had been curious about every time I went to Hawaii but had never visited before! Although I couldn't see the sandy beach like in pictures or on TV, that's due to the tides, so it can't be helped. Still, the shallowest part was about knee-deep, which felt strange since it was in the middle of the ocean. During our free time, I skipped snorkeling and focused solely on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was so much fun to stand on the board and paddle for the first time! Turtles also came close to the boat, and they were adorable. The brunch was incredibly delicious! This became my favorite memory from this trip to Hawaii. I'm glad I participated.

ハワイに行く度に気にはなりつつ行った事が無かったサンドバー。今回遂に参加しました！テレビや写真で見るような砂浜は見れませんでしたが、潮の関係なのでこれは仕方ないですね。それでも1番浅い所は膝ぐらいで海の真ん中なのに不思議な感じでした。自由時間はシュノーケルはパスしてひたすらSUPです。ボードに初めて立てて漕げて楽しかった〜。亀も船の周りに寄ってきてくれて可愛かったです。そしてブランチがとっても美味しかった！今回のハワイでの1番の思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

We participated as a couple. Knowing that the sandbar's experience depends on the tides, we researched the low tide days in August back in April and made our reservation. Due to time constraints, we couldn't experience the magazine-like sandbar with water levels up to our knees, and the weather was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing. However, as soon as we arrived, a small honu greeted us, and we were very moved.

During snorkeling, we were surrounded by three large honu resting on the coral and colorful fish. We also got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), which we had been interested in for a while, and enjoyed a lunch that was plentiful and delicious, allowing us to forget the stress of Japan in an instant. (The shrimp was especially tasty!)

The crew was fluent in Japanese and very cheerful, and there were thoughtful arrangements and menus for families with small children, making it a tour that families can enjoy with peace of mind. As a couple, we accidentally mixed up the lunch order for different boats, but they responded with a smile saying, "No Problem!" which has become a nice memory for us.

On the round-trip flight, we saw honu, and we even encountered real honu in the beautiful sea, making this trip to Hawaii all about honu.

夫婦での参加です。サンドバーは潮の満ち引きがポイントと言うことを知り、４月時点でに８月の干潮日を調べて申し込みました。時間の関係もあり、参加日は膝下程度の水位で雑誌のようなサンドバーを体験することはできず天気も曇りで少々残念でしたが、到着するとすぐに小さなホヌが出迎えてくれ、とても感激してしまいました。
シュノーケリングでは、サンゴで休む３匹の大きなホヌや色とりどりの魚たちに囲まれ、以前から興味があったSUPも夫婦で体験でき、更におかわり自由な量と味もバッチリなランチを楽しみ、一瞬にして日本のストレスを忘れることができました。（…特にエビは美味しかったなぁ。）
クルーは皆日本語が堪能でとても愉快、小さなお子さんでも楽しめるような工夫やメニューも見受けられ、家族連れで安心して楽しめるツアーだと思います。うっかり夫婦の私たちは、船別のランチの順番を間違えてしまいましたが、No Problem！と笑顔で返していただいたこと、いい思い出となっています。
往復の飛行機もホヌ、そしてきれいな海では本物のホヌに会うこともでき、今回のハワイ旅行はホヌ三昧でした。

Watching the sunrise at the sandbar was great, but the snorkeling was limited to just masks and snorkels without fins, and it was only for those who can swim a certain distance using a breaststroke. I have a diving license, but I'm not good at breaststroke, so I didn't participate in the snorkeling, which I was looking forward to. It says on the Veltra website that only those who can swim on their own can participate in snorkeling, but I would like them to specify that it requires being able to swim well using a breaststroke. I regretted that there are other tour companies that do provide fins for rent.

You cannot board the boat wearing flip-flops, so I recommend wearing reef shoes from the hotel, bringing seasickness medication, putting your phone in a waterproof case, and wearing a rash guard to prevent sunburn.

I will upload a picture of the breakfast. It was sufficient for a breakfast. After it was over, I put on clothes over my swimsuit and returned to the hotel without taking a shower.

サンドバーで朝日をみるところまでは良かったのですが、シュノーケリングは、マスクとシュノーケルのみ貸し出しで、フィンの貸し出し無しで、平泳ぎである程度泳げる人限定でした。
私はダイビングライセンスは持ってますが、平泳ぎは苦手。楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングには参加しませんでした。
ベルトラさんには、シュノーケリングはご自身で泳げる方のみが参加いただけます、と書いてありますが、きちんと平泳ぎで泳げる方と書いていただきたいです。
フィンも貸し出している他のツアー会社もあるみたいで後悔しました。
ビーチサンダルでは乗船できないので、リーフシューズをホテルから履いていくこと、酔い止め薬持参、携帯は防水ケースに入れていく、日焼け防止にラッシュガードを着ていくとよいと思います。
朝食は画像をアップします。朝食としては充分です。
終わったら、シャワーは浴びず水着の上から服を着てホテルに戻りました。

I was worried that the portions would be too large for a meal in Hawaii, but I was very satisfied with the volume and taste, which were just right for Japanese people.

I usually drink coffee at the end, but this time I decided to try white tea, and it was really delicious. It was TEA FORTE tea leaves.

The service from the staff was also good, and I would like to use this place again.

ハワイでの食事ということでボリュームが多すぎるのでは？と心配していましたが、日本人にちょうど良いボリュームと味で大変満足しました。

いつもは最後に珈琲を飲むのですが、今回はホワイトティーを選んでみたのですが、これがすごくおいしかったです。TEA FORTEの茶葉でした。

お店の方のサービスも良く、また利用したいと思います。

I was able to swim with wild dolphins and sea turtles! This was the best time. The sea and mountains were beautiful. The staff were Japanese, and I thought their easy-to-understand talk and performance were great. This tour is worth it.

野生のイルカやウミガメと一緒に泳げた！これは、最高の時間でした。海も山も綺麗きれいキレイ。スタッフの方が日本人で、わかりやすいトーク&パフォーマンスも良かったと思います。このツアーは、価値ありです。

Due to the last-minute change in schedule, I was filled with anxiety, receiving a call early one morning while still in Japan asking, "I plan to participate today, what’s going on?" and having several exchanges to confirm the changed itinerary. However, the customer service representative was very kind and helpful.

On the day of the event, I was picked up in Waikiki at 11:25. Perhaps due to the timing, there were only a few participants on the large bus. We went straight to Sea Life Park with staff who were expressionless and silent. Once we arrived, the explanation was provided by a Japanese guide, so there was no confusion. However, I was disappointed to find that while the bus was scheduled to gather at 16:45, the park closed at 16:00. I later saw the closing time in the Q&A section, but I felt that such an important detail should be included in the schedule that everyone can see.

Before making the reservation, I asked, "If I participate in the 13:45 encounter, which shows can I see?" but received a complete copy of the schedule from the website. I didn’t feel any kindness in that response. In the end, the only show I could see was the dolphin show.

The price for photos was surprisingly high at 6,000 yen, and like the closing time, I felt it should be clearly displayed for everyone to see.

Although it was a highly rated tour, considering the price and the enjoyment I had, I think once is enough. I also feel that it wasn’t necessary to do this in Hawaii.

今回はギリギリに時間変更をした事もあり、まだ日本にいる全く別の日の早朝「今日参加予定ですがどうなっていますか？」と電話が来たり、変更した日程確認で何度かやり取りが発生したりと、不安でいっぱいでしたが、カスタマーの窓口の方にはとても親切にご対応いただけました。

当日11:25ワイキキお迎え。時間帯のせいか、大型バスに参加者ちらほら。無表情で無言のスタッフと共にシーライフパークへ直行。
ついてからは日本人のガイドの方の説明でしたので、迷う事は無かったのですが、バス集合16:45に対して閉園が16:00と何だかガッカリ。後にＱ&Aに閉園時間についてありましたが、こんな大切な事は誰もが観れるスケジュールに掲載するべきだと感じました。

予約前にも「13:45エンカウンターに参加した場合、どのショーが観れますか？」と質問するも、HPのスケジュールをまるまる転記。全く親切心が感じられませんでした。結果観れたのはイルカショーのみでした。

写真が6000円と驚く程高く、先程の閉園時間と一緒で、誰もが一目で確認出来るよう掲載すべきと感じました。

評価の高いツアーでしたが、価格と楽しんだ時間で考えると一度行けば十分です。特にハワイで行かなくても良かったとも思っています。

The weather was very nice, and the scenery was great! The crew was cheerful and kind, constantly providing drinks and taking photos for us. We were able to see sea turtles and seals from a distance! Going further out to sea and looking at the beach and the view of Diamond Head was exceptional! Riding the waves felt like a roller coaster and was thrilling. However, one of the kids (a middle schooler) got a bit seasick. Thank you to the staff for their support. While I and the other family members were fine, I recommend that those who are concerned take motion sickness medication before boarding. It was a wonderful experience sailing, something that doesn't come by often!

とてもよいお天気で景色もよく見えました！クルーの皆さんも明るく親切で飲み物をどんどん用意してくれたり、写真をとってくれたりしました。海亀とアザラシを遠くから見ることができました！どんどん沖にでて海からビーチをみたり、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見る景色はまた格別でした！波にぐんぐん乗り、まるでジェットコースターのようでスリルもありました。ただ子供(中学生)か一人酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方のフォローありがとうございました。私や他の家族は大丈夫でしたが心配な方は乗る前に酔い止めをのんでおくことをオススメします。なかなかできないセーリングでとても楽しめました！

Although you can't see the grand ocean scenery like in a painting, you can enjoy a surreal underwater world at the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" attraction in Tokyo DisneySea! It's especially recommended for those who are not good at swimming and don't want to dive! However, if you're prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. I also tend to get seasick, but I prepared in advance based on prior information, so I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery until the end!

絵に描いたような壮大な海の中の様子は見れませんが、非日常の世界をリアルな海の中をディズニーシーにある海底二万マイルというアトラクションにのように楽しめました！
泳ぎが苦手でダイビングはやりたくないなぁって方は特にオススメです！
ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め飲んでおくと安心です！私も船酔いしやすいですが、前情報から酔い対策してたので最後まで楽しく海底を鑑賞できました！

★About the Movie Location Tour
- I recommend sitting on the right side of the bus as there were many more photo opportunities from that side. The guide provided explanations about Kualoa Ranch and the movie locations while we rode the bus, and we visited various filming points.
- At one point, we got off the bus to recreate the scene where characters hide from a herd of dinosaurs behind a fallen tree from Jurassic Park, and the guide took photos for us. They creatively used dinosaur figures to create interesting perspectives in the photos.
- Additionally, at the site of the air raid shelter, we were able to touch bones used in the movie and take photos inside the vehicle used for filming Jurassic Park. It was great to take pictures with realistic dinosaur robots and the King Kong set.
- During our visit, we had a Japanese guide, but I'm not sure if that is always the case.

★About the Jungle Tour
- Conversely, I recommend sitting on the left side as there were more photo spots from that side.
- Similar to the previous tour, we rode in a vehicle to visit various points. Other groups seemed to have Japanese guides, but my group only had explanations in English.
- We were able to see the set of the crashed helicopter and the gate set from Jurassic Park.
- We also got off the vehicle to enjoy a panoramic view of Kualoa's filming locations, which was breathtaking.
- At one point, we got off to see a place that recreated local life from the past, but I didn’t find it very appealing.

★Taste of Kualoa
- This tour also involved riding a bus while viewing the plants grown at Kualoa.
- We got off the bus a couple of times to sample some food, and several movie locations were mentioned again during this tour.
- Compared to the previous two tours, this one felt a bit dull. However, the Japanese guide was entertaining.

★★Summary★★
- Kualoa Ranch seems to have a system where you can choose several optional tours you like.
- I definitely recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch! The location tour was fantastic! However, I thought it might have been nice to choose activities like zip-lining or ATV rides as well.
- Honestly, lunch was not very good.

★映画ロケ地ツアーについて
・バスは右側の方がだいぶ写真撮影のポイントが多かったので、右側に座ることをお勧めしま
す。基本バスに乗車しながらガイドさんがクワロア牧場や映画のロケ地の解説をしてくれ、ロケ地ポイントなどを見て回る感じでした。
・途中、ジュラシックパークで出てきた倒木に隠れて恐竜の群れから隠れるシーンを再現しているところでは、下車してガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれました。恐竜の人形を駆使して遠近法を活かして面白く撮ってくれました。
・また、防空壕の跡地では、映画の撮影で使った骨に触れたり、ジュラシックパークの撮影で使われた車に乗って写真撮影ができました。恐竜のリアルなロボットや、キングコングのセットとも写真が撮れて良かったです。
・私達の時は日本人のガイドさんが付いてくれましたが、それが常時かどうかは分かりませ
ん。

★ジャングルツアーについて
・上記とは逆で左側の方が撮影スポットが多かったので、左側に座ることをお勧めします。
・こちらも基本車に乗車してポイントを見て回る感じでした。他のグループには日本人のガイドさんが付いていたようですが、私のグループは英語での解説のみでした。
・途中、墜落したヘリのセットやジュラシックパークの門のセットなどを見る事ができました。
・また下車して展望スポットからクアロアのロケ地を見渡すことができたのですが絶景でした。
・途中、現地の昔の生活を再現した場所にも下車したのですかあまり魅力を感じませんでした。

★テイストオブクアロア
・こちらもバスで回りながらクアロアで育ててる植物を見て回る感じでした。
・途中2度ほど下車して少しだけ試食を食べました。その中で映画のロケ地がまた何箇所が出てきました。
・こちらは上記2つに比べると少し退屈な感じでした。ガイドの日本人の人は面白かったです。


★★まとめ★★
・クアロア牧場自体が、好きなオプショナルツアーを自分でいくつか選択するシステムのようです。
・クアロア牧場自体は是非行って欲しいです！！ロケ地巡りはサイコーでした！が、後はジップラインやバギーなどを選択しても良かったかもしれないと思いました。
・お昼ご飯は正直あんまりでした。

6:50 Meet at International Market Place
8:00 Arrive at Kualoa Ranch
9:15 Taste of Kualoa Tour
11:00 Movie Location Tour
12:30 Lunch
13:15 Jungle Tour
16:00 Arrive in Waikiki

① It was early in the morning, and since I arrived in Honolulu the day before, I confirmed the meeting place the night before. There were many people lined up in the morning, and there were staff members around, so I had no trouble finding it.
② There is quite a wait from arrival until the first activity. However, stretching my legs on the beach in front of the ranch and enjoying the vast scenery made the time fly by.
③ Honestly, I thought it was unnecessary (but since it was included, I went along with it), and surprisingly, it was fun. There were movie sets here as well. Compared to the English guide, the Japanese guide provided less information, and I wished they had studied a bit more.
④ Kualoa Ranch has been the filming location for dozens of movies and dramas. I was amazed from start to finish, thinking, "That scene was here!" The guide was wonderful. It was so much fun!
⑤ It was a buffet-style lunch. The rotisserie chicken was delicious.
⑥ I also thought this was unnecessary, but it might have been the most surprising part. There were movie location remnants here as well, and that scene from Jurassic World comes back to life just as it was in the set.

Next time, I want to book earlier and enjoy horseback riding and ATV tours at Kualoa Ranch.

6:50インターナショナルマーケットプレイス集合①

9:15テイストオブクアロアツアー③
11:00映画ロケ地巡り④
12:30昼食⑤
13:15ジャングルツアー⑥
16:00ワイキキ着

①朝早くて、前日にホノルル入りでしたので前日夜に集合場所確認しておきました。当日朝には多くの人が列をなしていたし、スタッフの方もいたので迷う事はありませんでした。
②到着から最初のアクティビティ迄かなり待たされます。しかし、牧場の前のビーチに足を伸ばしたり、広大な風景を眺めていると、時間はあっという間に過ぎます。
③正直イラネと思ってましたが（セットなので仕方なく）意外に楽しかったです。ここにも映画のセットがありました。英語ガイドに比べると日本語ガイドの情報量が少なくて、もうちょっと勉強しておいてほしかったです。
④クアロアランチでは数十本の映画ドラマのロケ地となりました。あのシーンここだったんだ！と開始から終了まで驚き尽くしでした。ガイドの方が素晴らしかったです。とっても楽しかった！
⑤ビュッフェスタイルのランチです。ロティサリーチキンがおいしかった。
⑥これもイラネって思ってましたが、意外性No.1かもです。ここでも映画ロケ地跡があり、ジュラシックワールドのあのシーンがセットそのままに蘇ります。

次はもっと早くに予約して、ホースバックツアーやATVでクアロアランチ堪能したいです。
