All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was cold, but beautiful! I think I could have enjoyed it even more if it were summer. I'm very satisfied because I got to see a sea turtle.

寒かったけど、キレイだった！
夏だともっと思い切って遊べたのかもと思う。
ウミガメとも会えたからとても満足です。

We enjoyed the Dinner cruise very much.The food and entertainment were great.Right from the transport pick up everything very well organised.It was a beautiful evening and lovely to see Waikiki from the oceon,I also saw a Whale jump right out of the water for the first time.

I could only see it from a distance. It was disappointing that they didn't accept American Express cards for purchasing onboard commemorative photos.

遠くに見えたくらいです。
船内記念写真の購入では、ｱﾒｯｸｽカードの取扱いがないのは残念でした。

I previously went on the Angel Sea Tour and had a great experience, so this time I invited my friend's family to join. They were also very happy, and I was pleased that the Japanese female guide remembered me. The tour included lunch, and I think it's a great deal.

以前、天使の海ツアーに行きとても良かったので、今回は友人家族を誘って参加しました。　友人家族も大変喜んでおり、ガイドの日本人女性が私を覚えていてくれて、これも嬉しかったです。　ランチも付いてのツアーで、格安だと思います。

I sent an urgent email because I might not be able to go due to sudden circumstances, and I was very grateful for the quick response. It was relatively uncrowded, and I was able to create wonderful memories. However, it was disappointing that there were many attractions that were not operating.

急遽の都合で行けなくなるかもしれないことになってしまうということで緊急のメールを送ったところ、迅速に対応していただきとても助かりました。比較的空いていてとても良い思い出作りができました。ただやっていないアトラクションが多かったのが残念でした。

There were few visitors, so we were able to enjoy various attractions with almost no wait time. It was a bit disappointing that a couple of attractions were closed. The place was smaller than I had imagined, but there were thrilling attractions, and we had a lot of fun going on them multiple times. The weather was a bit chilly, so three hours was more than enough. Perhaps because there were few visitors, the staff was sparse, and the atmosphere felt similar to that of a community pool. The food at the concession stand had large portions, so sharing one was more than enough.

来客数も少なく、色々なアトラクションは待ち時間ほとんどなく楽しめました。閉まっているアトラクションも2.3個あったのが少し残念でした。
想像していたよりもこぢんまりとした所でしたが、スリリングなアトラクションもあり何度もいってみたりと、たっぷり楽しめました。
天候も肌寒かったので、3時間もあれば十分でした。来客数が少ないからか、店員さんもまばらな感じで対応も市民プールくらいの雰囲気でし
た。
売店の食事は、量が多かったので、１つをシェアしても十分でした。

This was my ninth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time traveling in February, so I made a reservation. I was able to see both whales and dolphins, and the view of Waikiki from the boat was incredibly beautiful, creating wonderful memories.

９回目のハワイでしたが、２月に旅行が初めてだったので、予約しました。
クジラもイルカも見れて、また船からのワイキキもすごく綺麗に見れて
思い出になりました。

When the weather is nice, you can clearly see Waikiki and Diamond Head, which feels great. At first, I couldn't see anything at all and almost gave up, but they finally appeared towards the end. However, while I did see whales, they were far away, so it wasn't as impressive as what you see in the brochures; it was more like, "Is that it?" Well, since it was a large ship, I didn't experience any seasickness, so I think that was a good thing.

天気が良いとワイキキやダイヤモンドベッドがクッキリと見えて気分が良いかと。最初は全然見えなくて諦めかけましたが、最後の方でやっと現れました。でも、確かにクジラは見えたけど遠かったので、パンフにあるような迫力ではなく、あれか、という感じです。まあ、大型船なので船酔いもなかったので、良かったかなと思います。

The ship was large and there was little rocking. However, it was a bit disappointing that I could only see the whale briefly as it moved from starboard to port. But since I did see it, I hope to see more next time. I was able to take photos of the dolphins.

船が大きくて揺れも少なかったです。
ただクジラが現れてから右舷、左舷と移動していたら
少ししか見えなかったのは残念です。
でも見えたので次回はもっと見たいですね。
イルカは写真撮れました。

**[Experience Review]**
I participated at the end of January, having seen reviews beforehand, and thought, "If I get to see it, that would be lucky☆". As the reviews said, I couldn't see it, but since it was raining until the boat departed, there was a rainbow throughout the tour. Once we got out to sea, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, and we were able to see a very magical rainbow (and it was a double rainbow! Plus, it was huge!) against the blue sky and vast ocean. Personally, since I got to see the rainbow, I found it quite enjoyable (laughs).

**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
The breakfast was more delicious than I expected. There were bread, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and more... I thought it was very Japanese-friendly with ketchup and soy sauce available.

**[Advice for Future Participants]**
I recommend boarding the boat as soon as possible after getting off the bus. The window seats are popular, so everyone was vying for them. They take your picture before boarding and come around to sell it during the trip. I don't remember the exact amount, but it seemed to be around $20 to $30. By the way, we prepared a tip before disembarking, but there was no tip box, and we didn't have a chance to meet the staff or captain when getting off, so there was no timing to give it.

【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加しましたが先に口コミを見ており
「見れたらラッキー☆」くらいで参加しました。
口コミ通り見ることは出来ませんでしたが
船の出発まで雨が降っていたこともありツアー中ずっと虹が出ており
沖まで行けば雲一つない快晴でしたので青い空と広大な海に
とても幻想的な虹（しかも２重！そしてデカい！）が見れました。
私的には虹が見れたので、まぁまぁ楽しかったです（笑）


【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
思っていた以上に朝食が美味しかったです。
パン・白ご飯・スクランブルエッグ・ソーセージなど・・・
ケチャップやしょうゆもあり日本人好みだな～と思いました。


【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
バスから降りたあとはなるべく早めに乗船することをオススメします。
やはり窓際の席は人気があるためみなさん取り合いでした。
乗船前に写真を撮ってくださり乗船中に売りに来てくれます。
はっきりとした金額は覚えてませんが20ドル～30ドルくらいだったような。
ちなみに私たちはチップを用意して下船しましたが
チップを入れる箱もなく下船の際にスタッフやキャプテンとも
顔を合わせることがなかったため渡すタイミングがありませんでした。

During the first half of the cruise, I was able to see whales in the distance from the top deck, although they appeared small. While I was having lunch on the first floor, a whale suddenly appeared much closer. I've heard that whale watching can be a matter of luck, but I think we were definitely lucky that day. The scenery was breathtaking, and the buffet and cultural experiences were great as well.

クルーズ前半は最上階からクジラが遠くに小さくですが何度も見れました。そして一階でランチを食べていたら、突然クジラが大きく見えました。ホエールウォッチングは運不運があると聞きますが、その日はきっと運が良かったのだと思います。景色も最高の眺めでしたし、ビュッフェや文化体験も良かったです。

The weather was unfortunately cold during snorkeling, but the guide's exceptional attentiveness was impressive. Choosing the VIP boat made for a fun memory.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

シュノーケリング時はあいにくの天気で寒かったのですがガイドさんが最高の気配りで感動です、VIPの船 選択で楽しい思い出になりました

次回も必ず参加したいです

I have experience with large ships, but at that time, I was crammed in so tightly that the distance between the table and my neighbor was too close, making it a very suffocating memory. However, this time it was very spacious. That was really nice, but unfortunately, the food just didn't suit my taste at all, and I think I would have been better off with just the appetizers.

大型船も経験ありますが、あのときはぎゅうぎゅう詰めに入れられてテーブルとの距離も隣との距離も近すぎてとても息苦しい思い出がありましたが、こちらはとてもゆったりとしていました。それは凄く良いのですが、いかんせん料理が全く口に合わず、アペタイザーのみで良かったと思います。

It was farther away than I had expected, but I'm glad I was able to see it safely. I felt like not being able to see the first half at all was part of the performance, though.

期待していたよりは遠距離からではありましたが、無事に見られてよかったです。前半全く見れなかったのは、演出のような気もしもしましたけど。

I arrived at the pickup location earlier than the scheduled time, but since it was just after 10 AM, it was extremely crowded. It was difficult to find our bus among the crowd. I think it would have been helpful if the staff had held a sign that said "Veltora," and it also took time to find the bus because it was parked a bit far away. Although I was told that the voucher was not needed, I was instructed to hand it to the staff member who came to pick us up.

The tour itself was very interesting, and I was thrilled when we spotted a whale. I was on the third deck of the boat, but the snacks were only available on the second deck, which was a hassle since I had to go down the stairs each time to get something. I think it would have been better if there were snack stations on both the upper and lower decks. I would have also liked some drinks other than water.

お迎え場所には時間より早く着いていたのですが、朝10時過ぎということもあり大変な混雑でした。その中から自分たちの乗るバスを見つけるというのは難しかったです。担当者がベルトラと書いた看板でも持っていてくれたら良かったと思いますし少し離れたところにバスが停まっていたせいもあり見つけるのに時間がかかりました。またバウチャーはいらないとの事でしたが迎えに来た担当者に渡すように言われました。
ツアー自体は大変おもしろくクジラが見えた瞬間には興奮しました。
船の中では3階にいたのですが、軽食が2階にしか置いてなくいちいち階段を降りて取りに行くのが面倒でした。上と下の２か所にあればよかったと思いました。水以外の飲み物も欲しかったです。

I participated with my child.
We had a great time riding the slide without any wait!
It's wonderful that a slide where waiting for an hour is common at Nagashima had no wait at all.
With transportation included, along with inner tubes and life jackets, it was very convenient.

子供と参加しました。
スライダーに待ち時間なしで、連続で乗れて楽しかったです！
ナガシマで1時間待ちは当たり前なスライダーが、全く待たなくて乗れるなんて素敵。
送迎付き、浮輪付き、ライフジャケットあり、楽でした。

The weather wasn't great, but I had a wonderful time. It's about an hour from the hotel, and the boarding area is also a location from the Jurassic Park movie. I was satisfied to see sea turtles. Next time, I hope for a sunny day!

　天気が良くなかったけど、満喫できました。
ホテルから１hくらいの場所にあり、乗船場はジュラシックパークの映画の舞台にもなったところ。海亀もみれ満足でした。今度は天気のよい日に！

This is about my fifth time participating. Each time, the season, weather, temperature, and companions are different, so I have memories from each visit. This time, it was a trip with my two children. The weather wasn't very favorable, and we experienced a chilly sandbar, but the usual scenery welcomed us. I'll come again.

今回で都合5回目くらいの参加です。
毎回、季節、天候、気温そして同伴者が違うので毎回毎回の思い出があります。
今回は親子３人旅。
天候にちょっと恵まれず、肌寒い中でのサンドバーとなりましたが、
いつも通りの景色が私たちを迎えてくれました。
また、来ますね。

We had a wonderful evening aboard the Star of Honolulu! And although we chose the least expensive option -- the Casual Dinner Buffet, the service was excellent, as was the food. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The Polynesian performance added a touch of magic to the evening. The views of Waikiki and the sunset were spectacular. Overall, an enchanting evening which I highly recommend. I plan to cruise again with Star of Honolulu on my next trip!

It was a lovely afternoon on the boat where we saw and followed 2 pairs of whales-- one of which was a mama and a baby whale! The team was experienced and knowledgeable and also showed us other ocean wildlife while we were waiting for the whales to resurface. Excellent activity-- I would do again.

This time, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the whales jumping from afar, but on the way to the whale watching spot, I encountered dolphins, which made me feel lucky. It was great that breakfast was included on the boat. The reservation through Veltra was the cheapest among the sites I checked.

今回はクジラが遠くジャンプも見れなかったので少しがっかりでしたがクジラスポットに向かう途中にイルカに遭遇し、得した気分でした。船内で朝食も付けれて良かったです。ベルトラからの予約が見たサイトの中では一番安かったです。

My child said they wanted to see whales, so we joined in. I was also looking forward to it since I had never seen them before. I felt reassured because it was mentioned that if we couldn't spot any whales, we would receive a free reboarding ticket.

There were about four announcements saying, "We see them now!" but most people missed the chance to see them. Although there were announcements, we didn't see any whales at all, so we couldn't reboard.

As for lunch, there wasn't much to eat, so I just snacked on potato chips. It's disappointing because encountering whales is also a matter of luck.

クジラを見たい！と子供が言うので一緒に参加しました。私も今までに
見た事がなかったので期待していました。
クジラの確認ができなかった場合は、再乗船できる無料乗船券を配布する
との記載もあるので安心していました。
「今、見えました！！」と４回ぐらいアナウンスがあったのですが
見るタイミングを逃した方がほとんどでした。
全く見えなかったけどアナウンスがあったので、再乗船は出来ません。。。
ランチはまともに食べれるものがなく、ポテトチップスをつまみました。
遭遇出来るかは運もありますが残念です。

I didn't know that the Heaven's Sea tour had to be booked in advance, and after regretting it for a few years, I finally went back for a revenge trip.

As a result, I had a really great time! I’ve always liked turtles, but even my wife, who isn’t a fan, was excited when she saw them. Turtles are so cute!

Since it was early February, it was a bit cold on the boat when it was cloudy, but the sun came out, so it was manageable. The water was honestly cold, but once you get used to it, you can tolerate it. They offered free wetsuit rentals.

I thought I could manage with just a regular hoodie, but since you wear a suit in the water and walk on the sand for about 30 minutes, marine shoes would be better. Some people got hurt on their feet.

At the sandbar, wearing a T-shirt is actually warmer, but for photos, swimsuits might look warmer and more picturesque.

The boat ride was slow, about 10 minutes, so personally, I didn't need motion sickness medication. However, it was a very windy day, so if you're unsure, it might be a good idea to have some. (They sell motion sickness medication and sandals at a reasonable price.)

I wish I had bought an underwater camera. I never expected turtles to come so close! Well, since they swim in shallow water, you can still take good photos from above the water.

Once you get out of the water, it’s cold, so having a larger bath towel would be good. The BBQ on the boat was quite delicious.

There were about three staff members, including the guide, and we were able to play beach volleyball together with others. That was a lot of fun!

They were very considerate of small children and the elderly, showing great hospitality. You can feel safe bringing your parents along.

There were also people doing other marine activities, and they offered free rentals.

Snorkeling is easy to practice, so even those who are not good at it can give it a try. Even if you don’t snorkel, you can see turtles at the sandbar, so it’s okay to take it easy.

Thank you to all the staff! Aloha!

天国の海はツアーでないといけないのを知らず、以前は悔しい思いをして数年、リベンジで行ってきました。

結果、行って本当に楽しかったです！
元から亀は好きでしたが、亀好きでない奥さんでも、見たときは興奮していました。
亀ってかわいいですね。

2月初旬なので、曇ったら船上は寒いのはありますが、太陽も出てきてなんとかなりました。
海の中は正直冷たく、慣れれば一応我慢はできるレベル。ウェットスーツの無料貸出もしていました。
普通のパーカーでなんとかなると思って軽く見てましたが、海中でも着れるスーツや、砂の上を30分ほど歩くので、マリンシューズがあればベターです。足に怪我する人もいたので。

サンドバーではTシャツを着てたほうが実際寒くないですが、写真では水着のほうが暖かそうで絵になるかも。

船はジェットでもなくゆっくりで、10分ほどなので、酔い止めは個人的には不要です。
風がかなり強い日で、自信がない人はあったほうがいいかも。
(酔い止めわサンダル等、有料でそこまで高くない価格で販売はしています)

水中カメラは買っておけばよかったです。あそこまで目の前に亀が来るなんて思ってもなかったので。まあ、浅瀬を泳いでるので、海の上からでもちゃんと撮れますが。

海から上がったら寒いので、大きめのバスタオルもあったほうが良いです。
船上のBBQも、なかなか美味しかったです。

ガイドさん含め3人ほどスタッフがいましたが、他の人たちも含め、一緒にビーチバレーできました。これがかなり楽しかったです！

小さいお子さんや老人への配慮もしっかりしていて、ホスピタリティーあります。親を連れてきても安心できますね。

他のマリンアクティビティーをしている人もおり、無料で貸し出ししていました。

シュノーケリングは無理なく練習できるので、苦手な人もいけると思います。シュノーケリングをしなくとも、サンドバー上で亀も見れますし、無理せずOK

スタッフのみなさん、有難うございました！
アローーーハー！

While looking at past experiences, I participated with a bit of worry, thinking that I might not be able to see any whales. In reality, I didn't feel any presence at all until the very end, but I was able to see the spouts (breath) and tails of two whales at the last moment. I was so happy! Also, the view of Oahu from the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to take some lovely photos. I managed to take some pictures of the whales as well, but since there was a distance, if you want impressive photos, it would be best to prepare a telephoto camera or purchase photos from the ship's dedicated photographer.

過去の体験談を見ていたら、くじらを見れないことも多いのかなと少し心配しならがら参加しました。実際途中まで全く気配を感じることもできませんでしたが、最後の最後に２頭のくじらの潮吹き(呼吸)や尾びれを見ることができました。うれしかったです。また海上から見るオアフ島はとてもきれいで素敵な写真を撮ることができました。くじらの写真もとりあえず撮ることができましたが、やはり距離があるので迫力ある写真がほしければ、望遠タイプのカメラを準備するか船の専属カメラマンの写真を購入するのが良さそうです。

I participated in a Japanese language guided tour starting at 10 AM, and not only was I able to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery, but I also learned about the types of fish, the history of the reefs, and how colors appear underwater. It was a lot of fun!

10時からの日本語解説ツアーに参加したため、美しい海底の景色を眺めるだけでなく、魚の種類や漁礁の歴史や海底での色の見え方等の話が聞けて、とても楽しめました。

The weather was bad, and I couldn't see much because of the waves. By the time I noticed, I could only see the tail for a brief moment.

On the other hand, I was glad to see a beautiful rainbow. I ended up taking a lot of photos of the rainbow.

天気が悪かったのもありますが、波に隠れて
あまりよく見られませんでした。気づいた時には尾が少し見られたぐらいで、ほんの一瞬、、

そのかわりといってはなんですが、虹が綺麗に
見られて良かったです。虹の写真ばかり撮って
しましました

We really enjoyed the dinner. Thank you very much!

We have been to many Luau 's and Chiefs was by far the best.My husband tried making fire and dancing on the stage and i came home with a beautiful hand made bag and a bunch of flowers We had so much fun from begining to end.Loved it,and so much fun on the bus going and coming home with Princess Saou.

I was able to see dolphins!!! They were so close, I was surprised!! The staff was also really enthusiastic, and it became the best memory of our honeymoon. Thank you!

イルカ見れました〜！！！すごい近くてびっくりです！！スタッフの方もノリノリでハネムーンの最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうござます！

I was worried about whether I would be able to see any animals since they are wild, but I was surprised to encounter so many dolphins. I was hoping to be lucky and see whales as well, given the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.
At this time of year, it can be cold while moving on the boat, so it's better to have something to wear over your clothes.
Next time, I want to challenge myself to see whales.

自然の生き物なので観れるかどうか不安でしたがびっくりするほどたくさんのイルカと出会えました。季節柄クジラも見られるとラッキーだと期待してましたが残念ながら観られませんでした。
いまの時期は船上での移動中は寒いので羽織ものがあった方が良いです。
次はクジラにチャレンジしたいと思ってます。
