All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.

The staff were very kind, and it was so much fun. I was able to see turtles up close, and snorkeling allowed me to feel close to the fish. I would like to participate again. Thank you, staff!

スタッフさんたちがとても親切でとにかく楽しかったです。
亀も間近で見ることができたしシュノーケリングも魚を身近に感じられたし、また参加してみたいと思います。
スタッフさん！ありがとうございました。

There is no better way to experience Hawaii, than out on its beautiful, indescribable blue waters. After doing a bit of research, I knew I wanted to go snorkeling on the west side of the island. I also snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, but there is zero comparison. Two completely different experiences. Sailing out of the harbor, on the beautiful catamaran, with the wind in your hair, onto the sparkling water, a stunning, panoramic view of the majestic mountains behind you, with three fabulous hours of yet unknown adventures ahead of you---well, what more can you ask for? Our time on this tour was great. It went by entirely too fast. But every minute was wonderful. We saw more dolphins than we could count. Had great visibility while snorkeling. Saw many different types of fish and marine life. All under the skillful supervision of the awesome crew. Also, the boat was not overly crowded, which was terrific. Plenty of room to move about and to have a good seat. The food and drinks were perfect. I just wish it was twice as long. And honestly, next time we go back, I will probably go more than once. It's simply the best way to experience the magic of Hawaii. PS. I booked through Hawaii Activities.com and I believe the company name is also Hawaii Nautical. No matter which you book it, it's completely worth it!

Every time I visit Hawaii, I always love to go Snorkeling and normally go to Hanauma Bay. This time we decided to try something different and was so glad we all went on Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour. I enjoyed it so much that I will schedule it again next year. "Great job!" Captain Bob and crew, see you next year.

The sea in heaven, I had only seen it on TV, but when I went there, it was amazing!

The staff actively offered to take photos for us.

Thank you very much!

天国の海、テレビとかで見ているだけでしたが
行ってみたら最高でした！

写真も「撮りますよ」と積極的にスタッフさんが声がけしてくれました。

ありがとうございました！

First encounter with wild dolphins with my 5-year-old son.
I was worried since it was also his first experience with snorkeling, but he quickly got used to it and had a lot of fun.
The staff were very friendly and enjoyable, and by the end, he was completely a fan of the staff member (laughs).
Even after returning to Japan, he was super excited while sharing his impressions with his grandmother.

5歳の息子と野生のイルカとの初対面
シュノーケルも初体験だったので心配しましたが、すぐに慣れてとても楽しめました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで楽しい方達で、終盤にはすっかりスタッフのお姉さんのファンに(笑)
日本に帰ってからも祖母へ感想を話しながら大興奮でした。

The food was also quite delicious. The weather was nice, and the sunset and fireworks were amazing. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. 😊

ご飯も普通に美味しかった。天気も良くて夕陽も花火も最高。日本語が話せるスタッフがいて、安心して楽しめました(^^)

Hmm... honestly, my feeling is that it's disappointing not to have good weather. I did see sea turtles, but I hardly saw any fish while snorkeling. Perhaps I had too high expectations of the beautiful sea and sandy beaches. The instructors were very nice, so that's also a memorable part of the trip.

うーーん、、天候に恵まれず残念というのが正直な感想。ウミガメたしかに見れたけど。シュノーケルしたけど、魚もほとんど見れず。あまりにも綺麗な海や砂浜を想像してしまっていたあたしにも問題があるのでしょうか。
インストラクターの方々はとても感じが良かったので、これも旅の思い出です。

Our driver and tour guide, Lola, did a great job explaining both the history and local importance of the sites we visited. Her sense of humor made the tour all the more enjoyable.

On the day we participated, there were many Japanese people, and we split into two boats: one for Japanese only and one for a mix of Japanese and foreigners.

We were on the mixed boat, but it was reassuring to have Japanese staff members on board. The tide was a bit high that day, so we couldn't see the sandbar, and the water level was about waist-deep. If you want to see a sandbar like in the photos, I recommend researching in advance. Here, you can stand, so we practiced snorkeling, but you can also play volleyball.

After that, we enjoyed a juicy hamburger lunch! It was really delicious, and I was happy that soft drinks were unlimited. Next was turtle watching! We were able to see a few close up. Finally, we went snorkeling around the coral! There were many small fish swimming, and it was beautiful. By the way, the water is deep here, so you can't stand. You can rent snorkeling gear (fins, mask) and life jackets to swim. The weather can change quickly, so it's convenient to have a light jacket. A towel is essential.

The staff were friendly, and we had a great time enjoying the ocean!

参加した日は日本人が多く、日本人だけの船と日本人＋外国人混合の船に分かれて出発しました。

私達は日本人＋外国人混合の船でしたが、日本人のスタッフの方がいたので安心でした。
この日は潮が少し満ちていたのでサンドバーは見られず、腰より低い位置くらいの水位がありました。
写真の様なサンドバーを見たい方は事前に調べておく事をおススメします。
ここでは足がつくので私達はシュノーケルの練習を行いましたが、
バレーボールで遊ぶことも出来ます。

その後はジューシーなお肉のハンバーガーランチ！これはとっても美味しかったです。ソフトドリンクが飲み放題なのも嬉しかったです。
次はウミガメウォッチング！割と近くで数匹見ることができました＾＾
最後はサンゴの周りでシュノーケリングです！小さい魚が沢山泳いでいて綺麗でした。
ちなみにここは深いため足がつきません、シュノーケルセット(フィン、マスク)とライフジャケットなどを借りて泳ぐことができます。
天気が変わりやすいので、羽織りものがあると便利です。タオルは必須です。

スタッフの方も気さくで、海を満喫できて楽しかったです！！

I made a reservation at the request of my mother, who is hesitant about diving and snorkeling.

We had a great time on the boat ride to the submarine, and the submarine that emerged from the sea was really cool!! The flow was smooth, and I think the pilot made sure there was no unfairness in seating positions! We were able to see sea turtles swimming from inside the submarine, and on the way back, we also saw dolphins! I thought it was a really valuable experience since the fish didn't escape as they do with snorkeling or diving!!

ダイビングやシュノーケルにおっくうな母のリクエストで予約しました。

潜水艦までのボートもすごく楽しむことができ、海中から現れる潜水艦はほんとにかっこよかったです！！
動線もスムーズで、座る位置での不公平がないように潜水艦を操縦してくださっていたのだと思います！
潜水艦の中からウミガメが泳いで行くのも見れて、帰りのボートではイルカもみることができました！
シュノーケルやダイビングより魚たちが逃げないのですごく貴重な体験だと思いました！！

There are various dolphin tours, but this tour where we encountered sea turtles was excellent.
Although Honolulu has high prices and relatively few good restaurants, the lunch we had here (hamburgers) was delicious, especially since we were hungry from exercising. My 9-year-old daughter also enjoyed it and gave it high praise! It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

イルカツアーはいろいろありますが、ウミガメに出会える本ツアーは大変良かったです。
ホノルルは物価も高いわりにおいしいお店が少ないですが、
こちらでいただきました昼食（ハンバーガー）、運動してお腹がすいていたこともあり、ウチの9歳の娘も美味かった、と好評でした！
ハワイの良き思い出となりました。

We enjoyed our circle island tour in Oct. this was a special occasion for us and our second trip to Oahu. We wanted to see more of the island this time and choose this tour because it had so many stops and was a full day trip. Our driver was very informative & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed all our stops and had the best day!!! The lunch at Fumis was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to everyone!

I participated because I could interact with dolphins. Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. I was surprised by how eager the dolphins were to engage during the dolphin touch and photo session! The kids had big smiles too!

イルカと触れ合えるとのことでの参加。
あいにくの天気でしたが、楽しく過ごせました。
イルカタッチと記念撮影ではあまりにもイルカがサービス精神旺盛でびっくり！
子供たちもいい笑顔出てました！

The entrance has a heavy door, and I could see tables with tablecloths from outside, which made me worry about my outfit. However, I was relieved to see people eating in T-shirts and shorts (laughs). The pasta was chewy and delicious, and the dessert was also tasty. The prices are reasonable, so I would like to go again.

入口が重厚感のある扉で、テーブルクロスのあるテーブルが外から見えたので、服装大丈夫か？と心配しましたが、Tシャツ短パンで食べられている方も居てホッとしました(笑)
パスタがもちもちで美味しかったのと、デザートも美味しかった
お値段もリーズナブルなので、また行きたいと思います。

It was cold.
But I was glad to see the sea turtles.
It wasn't the morning tide, but the sea was beautiful,
and I was happy.
I want to go again!

寒かった。
でもウミガメが見れて良かった。
朝潮ではなかったけど海が綺麗で
良かったです。
また行きたいです！

The staff and crew worked wonderfully together to create a pleasant experience for us during the tour. My elderly parents couldn't participate in many activities, but while we were resting on the boat, they pointed out swimming sea turtles and recommended meals, showing great consideration. It became a lifelong memory with my parents.

スタッフ、クルーの皆さんが、ツアーを盛り上げようと素晴らしいチームワークで気持ちの良い時間を過ごさせていただきました。　高齢の両親はあまりアクティビティに参加できませんでしたが、ボートで休んでいるときも、ウミガメが泳いでいることを教えてくださったり、食事を勧めてくださったりと、気配りをしてくださいました。　両親との一生の思い出になりました。　

I was worried about departing due to the rainy season, but fortunately, the weather was nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset over the sea from the ship, which became a wonderful memory! The crew members were cheerful, and I enjoyed some light snacks (like chips and bread) to satisfy my hunger, making it a fun experience!

雨期のため出港するか不安でしたが、運よく天気も良く船上から綺麗な夕日を海から見ることができ、とても良い思い出になりました！船員の方たちも陽気で、軽食(チップスやパンなど)で小腹も満たされ、楽しかったです！

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!

During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.

Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.

I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.

The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.

I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。
みんなでちょっと急いで海に入ると、イルカたちが泳いでいるのが見えましたー(^^)

シュノーケリングではウミガメやたくさんの魚たちも見ることができました。

連絡はすべて日本語で大丈夫。
当日はモーニングコールもあり、本当に親切です。
なんといってもクルーの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで、ニコニコ。そして海ではしっかり安全を確認してくれています。

私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません！ 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。

キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。

海も船もこわくなくなりました！
スタッフの皆様本当にありがとうございました。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
たくさんのみなさんに参加していただきたいツアーです！
海にも海の生き物にも人にも優しいドルフィン＆ユー最高です(^^)

I had a great time last time, so I made a reservation again this time. Last time it was just my husband and me, but this time I participated with my mother and a friend, making it four of us.

My mother, who is in her 50s, also challenged herself on the slides! There are many slides that adults can enjoy as well. It might be better to wear a type of flip-flop that doesn't come off easily (the kind that holds your foot) so you don't have to keep taking them off.

The lockers allow for easy access, so you can enjoy yourself without carrying your belongings. You can also reapply sunscreen during your visit. There are changing rooms available, but it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath beforehand so you can start having fun right away.

前回行って楽しかったので、今回も予約しました。前回は夫婦2人。今回は母と友人と4人で参加しました。
50代の母もスライダーに挑戦！大人でも楽しめるスライダーが多いです。脱げないタイプのビーサン（ホールドするやつ）の方がいちいち脱がなくて済むので、よいかも。
ロッカーは出し入れ自由なので荷物を持たずに楽しめます。途中で日焼け止めの塗り直しなども可能です。
更衣室もありますが、事前に下に水着を着用してきたほうがすぐ楽しめます。

You can easily make reservations from your iPhone! Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an email. I went from the Sheraton, and the bus stop was easy to find. Your name will be called in English, and you will receive a wristband (for the dolphin experience). The scenery from the bus is also breathtaking. When you arrive at the park, there are two Japanese staff members who are very kind and provide thorough explanations! I chose the most affordable course to interact with the dolphins, and I even fed them. It was a truly precious experience, and I would like to swim with the dolphins next time. The park is compact, but there are turtles, penguins, sea lions, and birds, and you can also feed the fish and birds! It was very easy to make a reservation, and I was able to enjoy everything smoothly! Thank you!

予約はiPhoneからスマートにできます！
予約が確定したらメールが届きます
シェラトンから行きましたがバス停もわかりやすく
英語で名前が呼ばれリストバンドが手にしてもらえます(イルカの時間記入のもの)
向かうバスからの風景も絶景です
パークに着くとパーク内の日本語スタッフ2名がいらっしゃってとても親切丁寧に説明してくださいました！
1番安価でイルカに触れれるコースを選びました
ごはんもあげました
とっても貴重な体験で次はイルカと泳いでみたいと思いました
パーク内はコンパクトですが亀、ベンギン、アシカ、鳥など居て魚や鳥にはごはんをあげることもできました！とても簡単に予約できスムーズに楽しむことができました！ありがとうございます

They came to pick us up by bus, but it was incredibly cold. We managed to cope with parkas and bath towels. We went as two women, and the bus seats were spacious, allowing us to relax and take a nap.

We couldn't bring in bottled drinks like juice or tea. The Japanese staff kindly said, "We'll give them to you on the way back, and we'll make sure you can drink during the trip." When we went to pick up our things on the way back, they had stored them in the refrigerator for us.

Unlike in Japan, the pool allowed cameras, flip-flops, cell phones, hats, and sunglasses on the slides! There were many families with children, but adults can have plenty of fun too!

The food isn't very promising. The price for a hamburger set is $9.99, which is reasonable, but it's best to go at a different time because there are long lines during lunch hours. I waited in line for a little over an hour.

I definitely want to go again! However, the lockers are quite expensive at $18, and you don't get your money back. That's equivalent to about 1900 yen, which is a level you wouldn't pay in Japan.

バスで迎えに来てくださるんですが、とてつもなく寒いです。パーカーやバスタオルでしのぎました。女二人で行きましたが、バスの席もゆったりしていて、のんびりうたた寝出来ました。
ジュースやお茶などのペットボトルは持ち込めないです。日本のスタッフさんが「帰りにお渡ししますし、途中も飲めるようにしておきますね」とかなり親切にしてくださいました。帰りに預けたものを取りに行くと、冷蔵庫に入れて保管してくれていました。
プールも日本と違ってカメラ、ビーサン、ケータイ、帽子、サングラスつけたままのスライダーがOKでした！
子連れの方が多くいますが、大人でも充分はしゃげますし楽しいです！
食べ物はあまり期待できません。
値段はハンバーガーセットが$9.99なので、まずまずですが、時間をずらすといいですがお昼時はかなーーーり並びます。私は1時間少し並びました。
また行きたい！ってなります！
ただロッカーは大$18とかなり高いです。お金も帰って来ません。日本円だと１９００円相当、、、日本だと借りないレベルです。

My first sandbar experience.
I thought it was an unbelievable sight when I saw it on TV, so I joined this tour to see it in person.
Perhaps it wasn't the right season for the sandbar, as there was more seawater than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but I was very satisfied to swim with sea turtles.
Next time, I want to change the timing and participate again!

初めてのサンドバー。
テレビで見てあり得ない景色だと思い、ナマで見たいと今回のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
サンドバーは時期じゃなかったのか、思ってたより海水が多くちょっと残念でしたが、ウミガメと泳げて大満足です。
次回は時期を変更して、再度参加したいです！

It was cold, and the water was up to my waist, but I was able to see turtles, and snorkeling was fun. The guides were very friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour. The food was delicious.

It would be better to have an underwater camera (you can either buy a toy camera or borrow a GoPro). Many people had waterproof phone cases.

On the way back, I didn't have much cash and had a bit of trouble with tips... (I was a bit careless since there were tours that didn't require tips).

In October, it was cold, possibly because it was cloudy. It might be a good idea to have a towel and a long-sleeved jacket.

寒くて、腰まで水が浸かりましたが、亀もみれたし、シュノーケリングもたのしかったです。ガイドのみなさんも非常に感じがよくて、楽しいツアーでした。食事もおいしかったです。
水中カメラ的なの(トイカメラを買うかGoproを借りるかできますが)があった方がいいです。(防水用の携帯ケースを持たれてる方がたくさんいました。)
帰り際で、現金があまりなくて、チップに少し困りました…(いらないツアーもあったので油断してました。)
10月で、曇っていたためか寒かったです。タオルと長袖の上着があったほうがいいかもしれません。

I had never seen dolphins in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in this tour. We set off early in the morning, heading to the west coast of Oahu, a place I had never been before. The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful.

During the three snorkeling sessions, we tried to find a pod of dolphins in the first and second sessions, and we encountered dolphins in the first session. I was moved to see a pod of dolphins with a baby. In the second session, my husband and I missed the chance to see dolphins because we were late to jump into the water from the boat.

The third session was a visit to a sea turtle habitat. Because we knew the right spots, we quickly encountered three sea turtles. I had seen turtles before in Hanauma Bay and on sandbar tours, but I had never met such large turtles as these. It was fun to swim while being rocked by the waves.

Due to certain circumstances, there was no lunch on the boat, but since the boat was quite rocky, it was a good decision to eat after returning to the port. I think it's better for those who are worried about seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.

Although it was a short time, it was a fun tour where we also challenged ourselves to stand-up paddleboarding on the sea. Additionally, having a Japanese guide accompany us from the shuttle bus to the sea provided a sense of security. If I have the opportunity, I would like to enroll in the manta ray university on the Big Island.

ハワイでイルカを見た事が無かったので参加しました。
早朝から出発し、向かったのは今まで行ったことが無かったオワフ島の西海岸。
天気は曇りでしたが、海は綺麗でした。

計３回のシュノーケリングのうち１回目と２回目はイルカの群れを探してトライしますが、１回目でイルカに遭遇。
赤ちゃん連れのイルカの群れを見れて感動しました。
２回目は船から海に飛び込む順番が遅かったので、私たち夫婦はイルカを見る事が出来ませんでした。

３回目はウミガメの家を見学です。
ポイントを把握されてるせいで直ぐに３匹のウミガメに遭遇。
今までハナウマ湾やサンドバー・ツアーでカメを見た事はありましたが、ここほど大きなカメに出会った事はありませんでした。
一緒に波に揺られながら泳げて楽しかったです。

諸事情で船上ランチはありませんでしたが、船の揺れが多かったので、港に戻ってから食べて正解でした。
船酔いが心配な方は酔い止め薬を持参した方が良いと思います。

短い時間でしたが、海上でのＳＵＰにもチャレンジしたり楽しいツアーでした。
また、日本人のガイドさんが送迎バスから海まで同行してるので安心感もありました。
機会があれば、ハワイ島のマンタ大学にも入学してみたいと思います。

I think it was great that almost no Japanese people were on the bus, and even on the boat, we didn't encounter any Japanese, which made it feel very foreign despite being in Hawaii. We were able to connect with people from various countries on the bus, all in English, and it was nice to wrap up our last night in Waikiki together as a family on this tour.

日本人がほとんどバスに乗ってなくて、船の中でも顔をあわさずハワイなのに日本人に遭遇することなく外国感満載で、英語オンリーでバスの中でも色んな国の人たちと一体感になれてワイキキ最後の夜を家族全員でこのツアーで締めくくれたのは良かったと思う。

It was a very memorable day. I was moved to swim in the large, beautiful ocean of Hawaii and encounter many dolphins and sea turtles. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii.

とても記念になる1日になりました。ハワイの大きくて綺麗な海で泳げたこと、そして、たくさんのイルカやウミガメと出会えて感動しました。またハワイに来たら参加さしたいです。

At the sandbar, we practiced volleyball and snorkeling, and for lunch, we had hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff. We also saw sea turtles, and the actual snorkeling experience was amazing with so many fish. It was the best tour! No need to worry about language at all! Sunscreen is a must! ☀️☀️☀️ The guide was also a funny person and kept us entertained during the boat ride.

サンドバーにてバレー、シュノーケル練習、お昼はスタッフが焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガー
ウミガメも見れて、実際のシュノーケリングもたくさんのお魚が見れて最高のツアーでした
言葉の心配も一切必要なし！
日焼け止めは必須です☀️☀️☀️
ガイドさんも面白い方で船の移動中も楽しませてくれました

A landslide occurred a few days before our participation, which resulted in the trekking route to Manoa Falls being closed, so we ended up trekking at the nearby Lyon Arboretum.

As it is a botanical garden, the paths were well-maintained and easy to walk on. We arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes while listening to our guide share stories about Hawaii's history. Although it wasn't a large waterfall, we were lucky that the rain from the previous day had increased the water flow a bit.

There were many plants I had never seen before, and I stopped to take photos... during which I got bitten by mosquitoes. Even with insect repellent spray, it seems like it's better not to stay still.

After trekking, we drove to Kaimana Farm Cafe for lunch. The portion sizes were just right, and the food was very delicious.

参加の数日前に地滑りが発生してマノア滝がへのトレッキングルートが閉鎖されてしまったため、すぐお隣の Lyon Arboretum のトレッキングとなりました。
植物園ということだけあって、道はよく整備されていて、歩きやすかったです。
ガイドさんからハワイの歴史も聞きながら40分くらいで滝に到着。大きな滝ではないのですが、前日の雨でちょっとばかり水量が増えていたのでラッキーでした。
見たことのない植物ばかりで足を止めては写真を撮り・・・その間に蚊に刺されました。虫除けスプレーはかけても刺されるようなので、じっとしない方が良さそうです。
トレッキングの後は車で移動してカイマナ・ファーム・カフェでランチ。量もちょうどよく、とても美味しかったです。

Outstanding, I will return to do it again with them.
