All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.

結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。

The staff were very nice
Sand bar was beautiful but snorkel spot wasn’t clear water

Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.

It was amazing to participate on a day of clear skies, as if the thunderstorm from the previous day was a lie. The sea was a bit murky due to the rain, but it was no problem for snorkeling at all. I was surprised that it felt a bit cold after getting out of the water, even though it was sunny. On the way back, thanks to the captain's arrangement, we searched for sea turtles in the bay. Luckily, we spotted a mother and her baby! The scenery was also fantastic. Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is exposed by calculating the high and low tides. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was at a comfortable temperature, which was great.

前日のサンダーストームが嘘のような快晴の日に参加できて最高でした
ちょっと海が雨の影響で濁っていましたがシュノーケリングには全く問題なし
海からあがると快晴でもちょっと寒かったのは意外でした
帰路では船長の計らいで湾内でウミガメ捜索ー
ラッキーにも親子？二頭を発見‼️
景色も最高ーでした
次は満潮干潮を計算してサンドバーが露出しているタイミングで参加したいと思いました
あと送迎のバスの冷房が適温でよかったです

This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.

It was great taking this tour with our toddler. It was my second time to make it to Kaneohe SandBar. My first on Captain's Bobs boat. The Crew was great and even though your sharing the tour with everyone else on the boat It didn't feel cramp at all. It was great to share the experience with other guest.

The food was good too. Most of my friends and I went in for seconds for sure.

The Sandbar experience was great too, even though there were jellyfishes on the water the crew was very good about keeping us informed on where to not go so that we can prevent from getting stung by the jellyfishes.

While we were on the tour it rained but that's Hawaii for you. If anything it made the experience that much better:)

When I went (at the end of October), the day before had rain, so the water quality was a bit murky, and the water level was below waist height, which wasn't the best situation. However, this is just a matter of luck, so I would like to try again. The crew was wonderful and made me feel that way. My 0-year-old (11-month-old) son also seemed to really enjoy himself, even just at the sandbar!

私が行った時(10月終わり)は前日が雨で水質が少々濁り、水位も腰より下ら辺で、本来のベストな状況ではありませんでした。しかしこればかりは時の運ですので、またチャレンジしたいと思います。そう思わせてくれるような素敵なクルーでした。0歳(11ヶ月)の息子もサンドバーだけでしたがとっても楽しんでくれている様子でした♪

We went with seven people from three generations. I thought the person taking care of many tours at the meeting point, Hilton Hawaiian Village, was from Hilton, but it turned out to be a Japanese guide from Kualoa Ranch. They were very polite and made a good impression. The explanations at Kualoa Ranch were clear and concise, focusing only on the important points without unnecessary details.

We experienced three types of activities and a lunch course. Since my grandchild is small, we chose the Taste of Kualoa Tour, the Movie Site Tour, and the Ocean Voyage Tour.

On the Taste of Kualoa Tour, we were able to see and taste various tropical fruits. I had seen breadfruit many times, but it was my first time trying it as chips. They were deep-fried and seemed to have no seasoning, but they were very delicious.

The Movie Site Tour mainly focused on locations from Jurassic Park, and it was fun to watch Jurassic World on the plane back and see familiar scenes.

When my grandchild gets a bit older, I look forward to trying the horseback riding tour and the jungle expedition. I also want to enjoy the ATV tour.

三世代7人で行ってきました。集合場所のヒルトン・ハワイアンビレッジで多くの方のツアーの面倒を見ていた方はヒルトンの人だと思っていたのですが、クアロア牧場の日本人ガイドさんでした。皆さんに丁寧に対応しており好感が持てました。クアロア牧場での説明も余計なことは言わず、大事な事だけを簡潔に説明していたのでわかりやすかったです。
アクティビティ3種類とランチのコースを体験しました。
孫が小さいのでテイストオブクアロアツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー、オーシャンボヤジツアーです。
テイストオブクアロアツアーでは南国の色々な果物の見学と試食ができました。パンの実は何度も見たことがありますが、チップスを食べたのは初めてでした。素揚げで味は付けてないようですが非常に美味しかったです。
映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークのロケ地がメインでしたが、帰りの飛行機の中でジュラシックワールドを見て、見覚えのある場面が出てきて楽しかったです。
孫がもう少し大きくなったら乗馬ツアー、ジャングルエクシペディション。ATVツアーも楽しみたいと思っています。

I had heard from the guide that it might take some time to see wildlife, but we spotted dolphins right after departing from the port. We got ready for snorkeling and entered the water, where we were able to see dolphins swimming quite close to us. Additionally, at the snorkeling point, we also saw sea turtles swimming relatively nearby. It was a lucky tour, and I was very satisfied.

野生のものを見に行くので、すぐに見れるか分からないをガイドさんから聞いていたが、港から出港してすぐイルカを発見。シュノーケルの準備して海へ入って、結構近くをイルカが泳ぐのを見ることが出来た。
また、シュノーケリングポイントでは、ウミガメが割と近くで泳いでる姿も見れた。
ラッキーなツアーで満足。

We went to the sandbar on a clear day. During this season, the water level was up to our waists, so we couldn't walk on the sand like you see on TV. However, we had a great time snorkeling with colorful fish and sea turtles.

Lunch was a buffet with surprisingly delicious meat, salads, and fruits. The staff were very friendly, encouraging us to have seconds and even taking photos for us, making it a really enjoyable tour. The group photo turned out great and will be a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

I would love to join again during low tide.

快晴の中サンドバーへ。この時期は水位が腰位まであり、テレビで見るような砂の上を歩くことはできませんでした。その分シュノーケルではカラフルな魚やウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来、大いに盛り上がりました。
ランチはビュッフェでお肉やサラダ、フルーツなど思いの外美味しく、スタッフもお代わりを勧めてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたりととてもフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。集合写真もとても良く撮れていて良い記念になります、有難うございました。
干潮の時にまた参加したいです。

It was a very enjoyable tour!

The sandbar was a bit different from what I imagined, with the water coming up to my waist, but it was incredibly beautiful and moving. The staff suggested practicing snorkeling, so I practiced diving with goggles. I had never swum in the ocean before and wasn't confident, so I was glad I practiced.

I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't touch the bottom, but they provided life jackets and fins, so it was fine! I was thrilled to see colorful fish and coral reefs.

The day I participated was cloudy and sunny, so when I got out of the water, it was surprisingly cold on the boat, and it actually rained a bit, making me shiver for real. The air conditioning on the bus was also strong, so those who are sensitive to the cold should be careful!

The hamburger for lunch was delicious too! The staff were very kind and lively, making it a fun and safe experience. I'm really glad I participated! I would love to go again on a sunny day.

とても楽しいツアーでした！

サンドバーは想像していたのとちょっと違って腰のあたりまで水がきていましたが、とっても綺麗で感動しました。シュノーケリングの練習をしとくといいよ、とスタッフの方が言ってたのでゴーグルをつけてもぐる練習をしました。海で泳いだことがなくて自信がなかったので、練習しておいてよかったです。

シュノーケリングをする時は足もつかないので心配でしたが、ライフジャケットもフィンも貸してもらえるので大丈夫でした！カラフルな魚やサンゴ礁が見れて感激でした。


参加した日は曇ったり晴れたりだったので、海から上がると船の上は意外と寒く、途中ザッと雨も降って冗談ではなく本当に震えました。。バスの中も冷房がきいているので、冷え性の方は要注意です！

ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです！
スタッフの皆さんもとっても優しくノリノリで、楽しく安心に過ごせました。参加して本当によかったです！また晴れた日に行ってみたいです。

Due to the unfortunate bad weather and temperature, we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar. There's nothing we can do about that. The staff's response was good, so I can recommend it. I was able to swim close to a large sea turtle while snorkeling.

あいにくの悪天候と気温のため、キレイなサンドバーは見れませんでした。
こればかりは、仕方がありません。
スタッフのかたの対応はよかったので、オススメはできます。
シュノーケルでは大きな海がめの近くで泳げました。

What a fabulous way to begin a vacation in Oahu! The Captain and Tour Director we’re knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. They made the first day of our vacation even more special than my husband and I imagined! Thank you!!

❤️たくさんのイルカがみれました！一緒に行った子供達も大興奮です
ガイドさん達もとても優しく、楽しい方達でした！╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
船の上でのフラダンスショーもあり、ステキな旅の1ページになりました

This tour was completely satisfying. The hotel pickup, guidance at the harbor, explanations on the boat, and guidance at the sandbar were all excellent, including the explanation about the filming locations of Jurassic World during our return! Everything was satisfying. The weather, with rain and sunshine, allowed us to see a beautiful rainbow clearly from start to finish!
The date of the visit was October 11, 2018.
I took photos of a newlywed couple, but since I don't have their address, I couldn't send them, so I'm uploading the photos here.
If you're seeing this, I hope it's helpful!

このツアーは全てが満足でした。ホテルのピックアップ、ハーバーでの誘導、船上での説明、サンドバーでの誘導などなど、帰港中にジュラシックワールドのロケ地だった説明！全てが満足でした。天候も雨が降ったり晴れたりしたお陰でスタートからエンドまではっきり見える綺麗な虹を見ることができました！
現地月日は2018年10月11日です。
新婚さんの写真を撮ってあげたのですが、アドレスもわからないので送ってあげる事が出来なかったのでここに写真をアップします。
見ておられたらご参考に❗️

Driver Levent was right on time for pick up .The tour was amazing & very informative . The knowledge Levent had was incredible . the sights we saw were good & lunch delicious . Highly recommend this tour for 1st timers to Oahu or returnees to the island.My daughter & I had a great time .

I participated with a team of five from work. On this day, the tide was low, and there were some sandbars exposed, but the sandbar where the tour landed was underwater. Although we couldn't relax under the parasol, the water level was just below our knees, so our guide and everyone else joined in and enjoyed playing beach volleyball like kids again. The BBQ burger for lunch was delicious, and we had fun snorkeling and watching sea turtles, so overall it was great. I think it's a good tour!

By the way, the boats are divided for Japanese and foreign participants, but we intentionally chose the foreigner boat to enjoy a more local experience. There was also a Japanese guide on the same boat, so I think it made the experience even better!

職場のチーム5人で参加しました。
この日は潮が引いていてサンドバーが出ているところもありましたが、ツアーが上陸するサンドバーは水の中(^^ゞ
パラソルの下でのんびりとはいかなかったけど、ひざ下の水位だったのでガイドさんや参加の皆さんで童心にかえってビーチバレーを楽しみました。
ランチのＢＢＱバーガーは美味しかったし、シュノーケルもウミガメウォッチングも楽しめてトータルは〇。良いツアーだと思います！

ちなみに船は日本人用と外国人用に分かれていますが、私達は敢えて外国人用の船に乗って、より現地感を楽しみました。日本人ガイドの方も同じ船にいるので、その方が楽しめると思います(^^)

We participated as a couple.
While I thought we would see wild dolphins right away, they are wild dolphins after all!
It wasn't that easy (laughs).
We didn't see any on the first or second attempts, but on the third try, we finally saw them!
By the third time, I was able to put on my mask and fins quickly, and I jumped in without hesitation, thanks to the perfect training from the sports club☆
We also got really close to a sea turtle, and time flew by as we challenged ourselves with SPU.
The photographer was quite lively from early in the morning, but he took a lot of great photos!
I would like to participate again. Thank you!

夫婦で参加しました。
野生のイルカとは思いながらも、すぐに会えると思っていました。
ですが、相手は野生のイルカ先生！
そう簡単ではありませんでした（笑）
1回目、2回目は会えず、3度目の正直で会えました！
3度目は、マスクもフィンもすぐに付けれて、飛込みも躊躇なくでき、体育会系の教えで完璧でした☆
ウミガメにもとっても近くで会えて、SPUにも挑戦できあっという間に時間が過ぎました。
カメラマンの方は、朝早くからかなり賑やかでしたが、たくさん良い写真を撮ってくれました！
また参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

This was my very first experience using Veltra, so I was a bit worried. However, I felt reassured knowing that several major Japanese travel agencies were shareholders.

I enjoyed playing volleyball on the sandbar and the light snacks/BBQ lunch were quite delicious.

　全く最初のベルトラさんの利用でしたので少し心配でした。日本の大手旅行代理店の数社が株主でしたので安心でした。
　
　サンドバー（砂洲）でバレーボールをしたり、軽食／BBQランチも結構美味しく食べられました。

I was debating whether to join a tour to swim with wild dolphins when I applied... (I was also concerned about the price)
In the end, I'm glad I chose this tour!!
The Japanese guide provided a very detailed explanation of the tour flow during the changing time, and when it was time to interact with the dolphins, the local staff took over. Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, we were able to understand each other through gestures.
Since it's a tourist spot, the food court and other areas are generally on the pricier side, but they gave us three coupons, so I was able to enjoy ice cream for free!
I participated in the first morning session, and afterwards, I had lunch and was able to watch the dolphin show starting at 12:30. The show was at a level that you can't experience in Japan, and it was really great.

申込時に野生のイルカと泳げるツアーにするか悩んでいたのですが…(お値段的にも悩みました)
結果的にこちらのツアーにして良かったです！！
日本語ガイドさんは着替え時にとても詳しくツアーの流れを教えてくれますし、イルカと触れ合う時は現地のスタッフに交代するのですが、言葉は通じずとも身振り手振りで理解できます。
観光地なのでフードコート等も全体的に高めですが、クーポンを3つつけて下さるので無料でアイスが食べれちゃいました！
午前1番の部での参加で、その後はご飯を食べたりして12時半〜のイルカショーも見ることが出来ました。ショーも日本では味わえないレベルでとても良かったです。

I participated in the Dolphin Swim Adventure. Both the dolphins and the staff (foreigners) were very friendly, and I had an incredibly fun interaction, which left me very satisfied. However, it was disappointing that the dolphin pool and the facilities were dirty. I had a hamburger and a chili dog for lunch, but they were cold. There were also a lot of mosquitoes.

ドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーに参加しました。イルカもスタッフのお姉さん(外人)も とてもフレンドリーで、最高に楽しいふれあいができて大満足でした。ただ、イルカのプール内や施設内が汚れていたのが残念でした。
ハンバーガーやチリドッグをランチで食べたのですが、冷たかったです。蚊も多いです。

The staff all seemed to get along well, and the atmosphere of the tour was very nice. It was a bit cloudy, which was disappointing, but I still had a great time. It got really cold along the way, and I lost the motivation to go into the sea, so I recommend going during a warmer time of year.

スタッフの皆さんが仲よさそうで、ツアーの雰囲気はとても良かったです。
少々曇りぎみだったのが残念でしたが、それでも楽しい時間を過ごせました。途中ですごく寒くなってしまい、海に入る気にならなくなってしまったので、海が暖かい時期に行くのをおすすめします。

Our two families (4 adults and 3 kids under 10) would definitely recommend Captain Bobs sandbar cruise and it was a highlight of our holiday.
The team looked after us the entire time, from pick up to drop off. The entertainment, the scenic journey, the sandbar, volleyball, the turtles, the snorkelling, the bbq - gosh it was all amazing.
Thanks crew for the great time we had!
Mahalo!!!

I never thought I would be able to see not only the sandbar but also sea turtles up so close! There were a few clouds on the day, but the sun came out quickly, and I was able to take some really beautiful photos! I also got my long-awaited two-shot with a sea turtle!

サンドバーだけでなくウミガメまであんな近くで見られると思いませんでした！当日は少し雲が多かったですがすぐに日差しもさしてとても綺麗な写真もとれました！念願のウミガメとの2ショットもとれました！

FUN-TASTIC DAY! We would do it again. My grandson wanted to stay longer. He also wanted to go again the next day.

The weather was nice, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles! I would like to participate again! However, the snacks were really light, so I wished there was a bit more volume.

天候も良く、ウミガメも見ることができとても満足でした！また参加したいと思います！でも、軽食は本当に軽食だったのでもう少しボリュームが欲しかったと思います。

It wasn't a sunny day, and the water level was a bit high, but the staff were cheerful and very kind, which made it enjoyable. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! Meeting a sea turtle also made for a great memory.

この日は快晴ではなく、水位も少し高かったのですが、スタッフの方が明るくてとても優しくて、楽しかったです。シュノーケリングで魚もたくさんみれました！ウミガメにも会えて良い思い出になりました。

Kualoa Ranch was a great experience and I had a lot of fun! However, on the day of my visit, I was supposed to choose two activities, including horseback riding, but I wasn't able to select anything, and I couldn't go horseback riding. It seemed that the local staff had mentioned this a few times, and they said that the agent might have misunderstood. I think it would be good if the course descriptions could be updated.

クアロア牧場は満喫でき、とても楽しかったです！
ただ、当日2つは選べるコースで行き、乗馬をする予定だったのですが、何も選べずに決まっており、乗馬はできませんでした。
現地の方は何度か言われているようで、エージェントさんが勘違いしているようと言っていました。
コースの説明内容を変更していただけるとよいかと思いました。

The shuttle service was convenient.
There are paid options, so it might be necessary to check in advance.
It was not crowded.

It can get chilly when the sun goes down, so you might need something to wear over.

送迎つきだったので、便利でした。
有料のものもあるので、事前のチェックが必要かも。
空いてました。

日が陰ると肌寒いので、羽織るものが 必要かも。

It may depend on the season, but on the day we participated, the water was very cold and there was a bit of wind, so we couldn't go snorkeling. Even while playing at the sandbar, it was just too cold (laughs), and we quickly got back on the boat. Still, the magnificent view of Hawaii from the sandbar was really wonderful. As for lunch, don't have too high expectations (laughs).

時期にもよるのでしょうが、私たちが参加した日は水がとても冷たく、風も少しあったためシュノーケルはできませんでした。
サンドバーで遊んでいてもとにかく寒くて(笑)すぐにボートにあがってきました。
それでもサンドバーから眺める壮大なハワイの景色はとても素敵でした。
ランチはあまりご期待なさらぬように。(笑)
