All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I signed up for a course that included lunch. The morning pickup was smooth, and we arrived at the port without any issues. Since my friend's family, who happened to be on the same schedule, signed up separately, I was prepared for the boat to leave without us, but to my surprise, we ended up on the same boat! They gathered a group of Japanese guests on one vessel. Our guide was also Japanese and very kind. The lunch was plentiful, and we were completely full. We were able to see the honu (sea turtles) perfectly from the sandbar, and at the snorkeling point, we fulfilled our dream of swimming with them, which left the kids in awe. I am grateful for the happy time we spent, being able to see the honu right until the very end.

ランチ付きコースに申込みました。朝のピックアップもスムーズで問題なく港に到着しました。たまたま同日程だった友人家族と別々に申込んだので船は離れることを覚悟していましたが何と同じ船に乗ることに(^^)一隻を日本人客で集めていました(^ ^)ガイドさんも日本人でとても親切です。ランチも盛りだくさんで満腹になります。お目当てのホヌ(海ガメ)もサンドバーからバッチリ見れて、シュノーケリングポイントでは一緒に泳ぐ夢が叶い子供達も感動していました(o^^o)最後の最後までホヌも見れて幸せな時間を過ごせたことに感謝しています。

Two filming locations
It was a plan for tasting and lunch!
We were able to see everything at the two filming locations,
and I recommend visiting these two spots for fans of Jurassic World!
The first and second guides spoke Japanese, so I could understand the content well,
but the last tour was in English, so I didn't understand anything at all! (laughs)
The lunch was quite junky! (laughs)
Since we drove through the forest,
the dust was really something! (^^;)
After the tour ended,
when I wiped my face, it was completely black! (laughs)
I think this tour is recommended for movie lovers!

ロケ地巡り2箇所
試食、昼食のプランでした！
2箇所のロケ地巡りで全て見る事が出来

1つ目と2つ目は日本語を話せる方だったので
内容も把握でき良かったですが
最後のツアーのみ英語でしたので
まったくわかりませんでした！笑
昼食のランチはジャンキーな感じです！笑
森の中を走行するので
とにかく土埃がすごいです(^^;)
ツアー終了後
顔を拭いたら真っ黒でした！笑
映画好きの方にはお勧めなツアーかと
思います！

I was able to see the dorsal fin and tail fin for just a moment! It took a lot of patience to catch a glimpse of the whale pod.

背びれや尾びれが本当に一瞬だけ見れました！なかなかのクジラの群れを見ることが出来ず忍耐力が必要でした

This time, I went on a three-generation cruise with my children and mother. At the sandbar, we all had a great time playing beach volleyball and swimming. During the snorkeling afterward, my mother, who is in her late sixties, also joined everyone in the sea and had fun. She was moved to see a sea turtle up close. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious as well. However, the best part of this tour was the personality of the guide. Their desire to entertain everyone was evident, and they made sure no one was left behind. It was a truly wonderful guide.

今回子供と母を連れての三世代クルーズでした。
サンドバーではみんなでビーチバレーをしたり泳いだり楽しい時間を
すごせました。
その後のシュノーケリングでも
６０歳後半の母も皆と同じに海に入り楽しんでました。
ウミガメを間近で見て感動していました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
ですがこのツアーの最高なところはガイドの方の人柄ですね。
皆を楽しませたいという気持ちが前面に出ていて
誰も置いてきぼりにしない、とてもすばらしいガイドでした。

We participated as a family. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes.

家族で参加しました。スタッフの方たちは笑顔で気配りもよく、料理の品数も豊富でとても美味しかったです。

This spot offers dolphin shows and touch pools, making it a great place for families to relax and enjoy. You can see the ocean from the park, and the scenery is beautiful. When purchasing alcohol in the park, it seems that ID verification is required, so it's recommended to bring a copy of your official identification. Since the air conditioning on the round-trip bus is strong, it's a good idea to prepare a long-sleeve shirt. (We purchased a bath towel in the park.)

イルカのショーやタッチプールなどがあり、家族でゆったりと楽しめるスポットです。
園内から海が見えて、景観も良いです。
園内でアルコールを購入する際は、ID確認が必要のようです。公的証明書のコピー持参をお勧めします。
往復のバスの冷房が強い為、長袖の準備も。
（我家はパーク内でバスタオルを購入しました。）

I participated with my husband, who is prone to seasickness, but I was relieved that he didn't get sick at all. Depending on the season, after snorkeling, wet hair and a wet body can feel a bit cold with even a slight breeze. If possible, it might be better to bring all your underwear and clothes rather than just something to throw over your wet swimsuit. I finished snorkeling early and changed using a towel from the pool in the less crowded area of the boat.

船酔いしやすい主人と2人で参加しましたが、全く酔わなかったので安心しました。
時期的な問題なのか、シュノーケルの後の濡れた髪濡れた体は少し風が当たると寒いです。
出来れば、濡れた水着の上に羽織るものよりも全ての下着、洋服を持参で臨んだ方が良いかも。私はシュノーケルを早めに引きあげて人の少ない船内でプールで使用するタオルを使って着替えました

This was my second time participating in the dolphin tour, and during the last one in summer, I saw many more dolphins! It was also quite cold, as everyone had to rent wetsuits! There were quite a few people who looked uncomfortable because they got seasick.

However, this time we were able to see many honu (turtles) down below. The staff worked hard to keep everyone engaged and excited. It's a fun tour if you don't get seasick, so taking motion sickness medication is a must!

イルカツアーの参加は2回目で前回は夏でしたが、夏の方がたくさんのイルカが見られました！あとは全員の方がウェットスーツを借りていたくらい寒かったです！酔ってしまって終始辛そうな方も結構な人数いました。
ただ今回は下の方でしたがホヌ（亀）がたくさん見ることができました。
スタッフの方はみなさん盛り上げようと頑張っておられました。
酔わなければ楽しめるツアーなので、酔い止めは必須です！！

We had a blast with Captain Bob’s crew! Kaneohe sandbar is spectacular, a must do activity on Oahu. The picnic was well organized, great food, amazing crew and plenty of time to relax on the sandbar, they helped us in taking our pictures and also plenty of time snorkeling. Clean snorkel equipment, bathrooms onboard and the crew was very helpful to everyone! We loved the sandbar, saw lot of turtles and fishes....it is a once in a lifetime experience! Will definitely do this again if we return to Oahu! Highly recommend this! Shoutout to Captain Bob’s crew!! You guys are awesome!

I was able to see sea turtles three times! I was so moved to see them up close, especially since I can't swim. It was super lucky to see them so closely.

The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious.

The friendly staff assisted us with beach volleyball, and even though I wasn't very good, I had a great time.

It got cold at the end, but I was glad there were hot drinks available. They were delicious.

ウミガメ3回も見れました！
泳げない私が、間近でウミガメを見れて感動しました。間近で見れたのは、めちゃラッキーでした。

船上で食べたハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

ビーチバレーも気さくなスタッフさんがアシストしてくださり、下手くそでも楽しめました。

最後に冷えて寒かったのですが、ホットドリンクが用意されてて良かったです。美味しかったです。

I have been to Hawaii over 30 times, but this was my first visit to Manoa Falls. I had heard various experiences from others and was prepared for the frequent rain, muddy paths, and insect bites, but since the weather was clear, it turned out to be a wonderful hike. The tour guide was very kind, and her explanations about the plants and birds were easy to understand and enjoyable. I also had a very delicious lunch at Kapiolani Park. Thank you very much.

ハワイへは30回以上来ていますが、マノアの滝には初めて行きました。
色々な体験談や現地の方に雨がよく降る、ぬかるんでいて危ない、虫に刺される、などかなり気構えて行きましたが、晴天続きだった事もあり、とても良いハイキングでした。
ツアコンのお姉さんもとても親切で、植物や鳥などの説明も分かりやすく楽しかったです。
カピオラニ公園でのランチもとても美味しくいただきました。ありがとうございました。

It was a great experience! Everyone was great! We really enjoyed seeing the dolphins! We also saw a sea turtle! It was definitely a fun day for us!

Blessed with clear skies, the nature and waterfall views in Oahu were amazing. Moving to a nearby park in Waikiki, the taste of the organic lunch I had while looking at the ocean was exceptional.

晴天に恵まれて、オアフの自然と滝景色も最高。場所を移して、ワイキキ近隣の公園で海を見ながら食べたオーガニックランチの味も格別でした。

It was my first sandbar tour, and I was glad that there was always someone who spoke Japanese from pick-up to drop-off. The sandbar had a higher tide than I expected, but it was very beautiful!

The staff members were all really nice! Even though I was waiting on the boat and not snorkeling, they were considerate and I was able to wait for about 30 minutes without getting bored.

It seems that the snorkeling was a bit murky due to sand swirling around.

The sea turtles were friendly and came to visit multiple times. They didn't run away even when I got close; they just swam around me.

I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was really delicious! Everything was tasty, and I went back for seconds! (laughs)

初めてのサンドバーツアーでしたが、
送迎〜解散まで日本語が話せる方が常にいらして良かったです。
サンドバーは思っていたより潮位が高かったですが、とってもキレイでした！

スタッフの方々がとにかく良い人ばかり！
シュノーケリングをしないため船で待つ私にも
気を使ってくださり、30分ほどありましたが退屈することなく待てました。

シュノーケリングは砂などが舞い
水が濁ってみにくかったみたいです。

ウミガメはなついていて
何度も来てくれました。
近づいても逃げたりせず、人の周りをくるくるするくらい。

ランチはあまり期待していなかったのですが
とっても美味しかったです！
どれも美味しくておかわりしました！笑

The walk on the sandbar lasted about an hour. There was a sandbank offshore, and the scenery was very beautiful. After that, we explored for sea turtles, and we were able to see them three times! It seems that if you make a wish, it will come true. Then we had BBQ hamburgers, which were quite tasty. Finally, we went snorkeling. We circled around the coral reef, but I was really tired afterward. As noted in the tour guidelines, be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and clothing. It gets really cold after entering the water, and the wind is chilly. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothing. I want to go again next year.

サンドバーの散歩は１時間くらいありました。沖合いに砂洲があり景色がとても良かったです。その後ウミガメを散策、なんと３度も見ることができました。お願い事すると叶うらしい。（？）。そしてＢＢＱハンバーガー。普通に美味しかったです。最後にシュノーケリング。さんご礁の周りをぐるっと一周しましたが、さすがに疲れました。ツアーの注意点にもありますが、帽子、日焼け止め、服。特に海に入った後はすごく寒いです。風が冷たいです。厚手の服を持っていったらよいです。来年もまた行きたいです。

My 9-year-old daughter participated in the experience. It was raining from the morning, and since she was attending alone, I had some concerns about how it would go until it started. However, once it began, she seemed to enjoy the experience. The story about the turtles was explained in English, but it was easy to understand, as they occasionally included Japanese words and used photos and models, so she seemed to grasp most of it.

Although she participated alone, there were Japanese children in the same group, so she quickly warmed up to them and chatted happily. She was able to interact with the dolphins much more than she had expected, and she looked very satisfied.

9才の娘が体験。
雨も朝から降っていて、一人で参加の為、どんな風になるのか始まるまで、不安も少しありましたが、始まると楽しそうに体験出来ていました。カメのお話も英語での説明ですが、分かりやすく時々日本語単語を交えて、写真や模型なども使ってくれて、だいたいは理解していたようです。
一人で参加でしたが、同じグループには日本の子どもたちがいたこともあり、すぐに打ち解けて仲良く話したり、イルカとも思っていたよりたくさん触れ合えて子どもは大満足の様子でした。

There were almost only Japanese people. It ruined the feeling of being on an overseas trip.

Attractions open at staggered times, causing crowds to concentrate on specific attractions, resulting in long wait times.

Food is not allowed to be brought in. Despite this, there was only one person taking orders at the food court, leading to long lines.

Even though it was a wave pool, there were no waves for more than half the time.

There was no one at the ticket purchase location for the FlowRider all day. When I asked other staff, they explained that it could be handled at the food court. Ultimately, I was able to buy the ticket at the food court, but without English skills, it would be difficult to get there, so the FlowRider was empty. It was too unhelpful.

ほぼ日本人しかいない。海外旅行の気分が台無しになる。

アトラクションが時間差でオープンするため、特定のアトラクションに人が集中し、その結果、長時間待たされる。

食べ物が持ち込めない。その割に園内のフードコートは注文受付が1人しかいなく、これまた長蛇の列ができる。

波のでるプールなのに、半分以上の時間、波が無かった。

フローライダーのチケット購入場所に終日、人が居なかった。他のスタッフに聞いたところフードコート？で対応すると説明される。結果的にフードコートでチケットは買えたが、英語力がないとここまでたどり着けないため、フローライダーはガラガラだった。不親切すぎ。

As soon as we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which made me think we were off to a good start. However, after that, we didn't see anything and it ended there. Given the high expectations, it was disappointing not to see any whales, and the experience ended up being boring. Additionally, since we didn't see any whales, we were given tickets that could be used during the season starting the next day, but I felt there were high hurdles, such as the fact that the tickets were only valid until January of the following year and that reservations could only be made by phone (likely in English), with no option for online booking. I think it would be better if there were options like receiving a gift (such as a whale plush toy) or a re-ticket if nothing is seen.

出発早々、イルカの群れが見えて、幸先良いかと思いましたが、その後、何も見えず、終了しました。期待が高かった分、クジラが見えなかったため、つまらなく終わりました。また、クジラが見えなかったため、翌日からシーズン内で利用できるチケットをもらいましたが、翌日から年1月までであること、電話(おそらく英語)での予約のみでwebでの予約が出来ないなどハードルが高いと感じました。見れない場合、プレゼント(例えばクジラのぬいぐるみなど)か再チケットかを選べるなどあると良いと思います。

I was supposed to go see whales, but ended up only seeing dolphins?! When I asked others, it seems that whales are rarely seen at this time of year. It's a total rip-off, and I want my money back!!

クジラを見に行ったはずが、イルカを見ただけで終わり⁉️他の人に聞いたところ、今の時期は、めったにクジラは見られないらしい。ぼったくりも甚だしいし、お金を返してほしい‼️

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.

We gathered quite early, and after boarding, we had to wait for over 30 minutes, which was tough with kids. However, we were happy to see a large group of dolphins right after we set sail, although we didn't spot any whales. I really appreciated how hard the captain worked to take us around and how the crew was considerate towards the children; it felt very thoughtful. After disembarking, the return journey was smooth, but I thought it would have been nice to have a little time for shopping.

随分早めの集合なのか、乗船してからぼんやり待つ時間30分以上でした。子連れには辛いですが、、出航してすぐにイルカの大群が見れてハッピーでしたが鯨みえず。
でも船長さんがかなり頑張ってあちこち飛ばしてくれたり船員の方が子供に気遣いしてくれているのはすごくわかり良心的だと思いました。
降りてからはさくさく帰路なんですがちょいとショッピングの時間が取れてもよいかもと思いました。

I thought it would be lucky if I could see a whale, but about an hour after boarding, I encountered a mother and baby whale! I even got to see them jump, and they came quite close, which was incredibly exciting.
I also had the opportunity to experience cultural activities like making leis and playing the ukulele, and I was able to participate in two or three of them as time allowed!

クジラが見れたらラッキーだな、くらいの気持ちでいましたが乗船から一時間くらいでくじらの親子に会えました！ジャンプもみられ、かなり近くにクジラがきてくれて大興奮でした。
カルチャー体験もレイ作りやウクレレ、フラ時間の許す限り２個３個と体験させてもらえました！

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

Unfortunately, the water was murky, and it didn't feel like a very beautiful underwater walk. (I think it depends on the season...) Also, the inside of the submarine was very cold, and the seats were chilly, so I was desperately trying to endure the cold in the second half. (It's essential to bring warm clothing.) I had gone to the restroom before getting on the submarine, but my child got really cold, and in the end, it turned into a "I need to go to the restroom!" situation, which made me anxious.

残念ながら水が濁っていて、あまりキレイな海中散歩という感じではありませんでした。（時期にもよると思いますが・・・）
また潜水艦の中がとても寒くて、シートも冷え冷えなので、後半は寒さに耐えるのに必死・・・。（防寒着持参必須です。）
潜水艦に乗る前にトイレを済ませていたけれど、子供が冷え切って、最後はトイレ～～～～という感じになってしまい、ハラハラしました。

The meeting point at the hotel is about a 30-minute ride to the boat. When I participated in dolphin watching last time, we traveled quite far, so I wondered if we could see whales in such a city area. However, we spotted one about 30 minutes after departure! Since it was a larger boat, we couldn't get too close, but thanks to the crew's patience in spotting them, we were able to see a mother and baby whale quite closely in the second half of the trip.

The weather was nice, and even when we couldn't see any whales, the views of Honolulu were so beautiful that I didn't get bored. However, the waves were quite high, and there were moments when the boat rocked a lot, so I think anyone prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication. (I was fine, so I had a great time throughout!) The buffet-style sandwiches were also delicious.

When we returned to the hotel after getting off the boat, the bus was waiting in a different location. (By the way, in the morning, we were told to take the bus with the number one sign for the return trip.) Since the sign was held in a place not visible from the boat dock, we couldn't see it, so I thought it would be better if the boarding and alighting locations were the same. (I apologize if this was explained in English!)

集合場所のホテルから船までは30分程度。
前回イルカウォッチングに参加した際は、かなり遠くまで走ったので、こんな街中？で鯨が見れるのかな…と思いましたが、出航して30分程度で発見！
大きめの船の為なかなか近付く事は出来ませんでしたが、クルーの方が根気よく見定めてくれたおかげで、後半かなり近くで親子クジラの姿を見る事が出来ました。
天気も良く、クジラが見えない間もホノルルの景色がとても美しくて飽きませんでしたが、結構波が高くて大きく揺れる事があったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は薬必須だと思います。（私は平気なので、終始とても楽しかったです！）
バイキング方式でのサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
船を降りてホテルに戻るとき、バスが離れた場所で待機されていたのですが（そういえば朝、帰りは1番の札を掲げたバスに乗って下さいねと言われた）、船乗り場から見えない場所で札を掲げられても私達は分からないので…、それなら乗降場所は同じようにされた方が良いのでは？と思いました。（英語で説明されていたなら、すみません！）

My child was able to ride something that they couldn't due to height restrictions last time, so we enjoyed it even more this time. You can have fun all day! I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii.

子供が前回身長制限で乗れなかったものが、乗れるようになったので前回よりも満喫できました。一日中楽しめます！
ハワイに行った時はまた行きます。

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done, but I couldn't meet the dolphins on this day... There was a large turtle, though. The staff were bright and friendly. I'm really, really disappointed. I think it would be nice if they could consider a partial refund if we can't meet the dolphins. It's not about the money, but about the feelings.

自然のことだからしょうがないけど、この日はイルカさんには出会えませんでした…。
大きな亀さんはいました。スタッフの方は、明るく親切です。
本当に本当に残念。イルカと会えなければ少し返金、とか考えて貰えるといいかと思います。お金の問題ではなく、気持ちの問題で。

I chose a plan with transportation and brought water with me. Juice can be purchased on-site.
It's better to bring a change of clothes! Since the return trip is by regular bus, it would be difficult to stay wet. The air conditioning is also effective.
Unlike in Japan, there were thrilling slides, so adults could enjoy themselves too.
Additionally, it wasn't crowded, and there was almost no waiting time.
Waiting for just under 30 minutes to enter was tough in the strong sunlight.
Since I had read experiences beforehand, I was able to leave my valuables on a bench without worry.
Most of the visitors were Japanese or locals.
There were pictures of items like hamburgers, so even if you can't speak English, you can manage when ordering.

送迎ありのプランにし、水を持っていきました。ジュースは現地で購入です。
着替えを持参した方がいいです！
帰りも普通のバスの為、濡れたままは難しいと思います。クーラーも効いています。
日本のとは違って、スリル感満載のスライダーがあったりしたので、大人も楽しめました。
また、混んでなく、待ち時間はほぼなし。
入園するまでに30分弱待ったのが、日差しが強い中で大変でした。
事前に体験談を見ていたので、貴重品はほぼ持たずに、ベンチに荷物を置いていても大丈夫でした。
日本人、現地の人？が大半です。
ハンバーガーなどは写真があったりしたので、注文時も英語が話せなくても何とかなりました。

This was my second time participating. Last time, I was able to see a lot of dolphins, but this time we saw them right after leaving the harbor, which made it easier on my body since I didn't have to be on the boat for a long time! The staff were also very friendly, and before I knew it, I was having fun with them!

Seeing dolphins jump right in front of me, swimming underneath me, and circling around me was an experience that I could never have in my daily life, and it was truly healing. The wetsuits are available for an additional fee, but I definitely recommend renting one.

2回目の参加でした。
前回もたくさんイルカを見ることが出来たのですが、今回はハーバーから出てすぐのところで見ることが出来、長時間船に乗ることもなく身体が楽でした！スタッフの方もとってもフレンドリーで気付けば一緒にはしゃいでしまいます！
イルカが目の前でジャンプしたり、自分の下を泳いでいたり、自分の周りをぐるぐる泳いでいたり、日常では絶対体験できない体験にただただ癒されます。
ウェットスーツは別料金になってますが、是非借りられることをお勧めします。

We arrived at the sandbar a little past the time of the lowest tide, so we didn't see the magnificent sandbar we had envisioned. However, we were able to have fun playing in the beautiful shallow waters offshore, even with the deep sea being a bit scary for the kids. During our subsequent sea turtle search, we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles. Furthermore, during the snorkeling, although the visibility was low, the friendly and fun staff helped create a relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable optional tour for all the participants.

サンドバーに到着した時間は、最も潮が引く時間帯を少し過ぎていたようで、描いていたような見事なサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、美しい沖の浅瀬で、まだ深い海が怖い子供とも楽しく遊ぶ事ができました。その後に行ったウミガメ探しでは、沢山のウミガメに出会うことが出来て感動でした。さらにその後のシュノーケリングでは、透明度は低かったのですが、親切かつ楽しいスタッフの方々の盛り上げもあり、沢山いた参加者もリラックスして楽しめるオプショナルツアーでした。
