All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This was my first trip to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I was determined to get in the water, so I took on the activity of swimming with dolphins! The day I participated was sunny, and the waves weren't high, so I was able to see the dolphins right away on my first attempt! I saw a pod pass underneath me twice and even heard their calls, making it a satisfying experience.

I took motion sickness medication before getting on the boat, but since I tend to get seasick, I felt a bit unwell. However, once I got in the water, I forgot all about that and was completely absorbed in searching for dolphins. After the dolphins, we had a lesson with the sea turtle professor, and we went to a spot where sea turtles are known to live. In the clear water, I was lucky enough to spot five sea turtles from the rocks and took lots of photos with my underwater camera!

I didn't have the energy for the last activity, but those who were kayaking and paddle boating looked like they were having a great time without showing any signs of fatigue. Since I was able to encounter the dolphins without much trouble this time, it became a wonderful memory. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I would love to participate in this activity again!

ハネムーンで初ハワイ。これは海に入らねばと意気込んでイルカと泳ぐアクティビティに挑みました！
私が参加した日は快晴で、波も高くなかったので1回目のチャレンジで即イルカ先生が見られました～！
真下に群れが通る事2回、鳴き声も聞けて満足のいくアクティビティでしたね。
船に乗る前に酔い止めを飲みましたが、自分が船酔いしやすいのもあり、多少気分が悪くなりましたが、海に入ればそんな事も忘れて無我夢中でイルカを探していました。
イルカ先生の後は、ウミガメ大教授の授業との事で、ウミガメの生息している所へ
透き通った海で、岩場から運良く5匹のウミガメがいるのを確認でき、水中カメラでバシバシ撮りました♪
私は最後のアクティビティをやる元気はありませんでしたが、カヤックやパドルボートを漕いでいる方達は疲れも見えず、楽しそうにしていましたね～
今回はそれ程苦労せずイルカと出会えた為か、すごくいい思い出になったので、またハワイにくる事があれば、こちらのアクティビティに参加したいと思います！！

Perhaps because it was cloudy, the sea wasn't very beautiful. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation for that period, but it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined. The snorkeling felt more like just swimming, and it didn't have the enjoyment of corals and fish. If the weather had been better, my impression might have been different.

曇りだったためか、海はあまりキレイではありませんでした。干潮時を調べて、その時間帯を予約しましたが、イメージしていたサンドバーではありませんでした。シュノーケリングもただ泳ぐ感じで、サンゴや魚を楽しむという感じではありませんでした。
お天気さえ良ければ、この感想は変わっていたのかもしれません。

This is a wonderful excursion i would not recommend it for small children due to the time frame of the tour cause it is a long tour buf well worth it our tour gudie was knowledgeable and friendly and was on time. the food was excellent.

At the first sandbar, it was beautiful, and I had plenty of time, so I was very satisfied!

I could only see the sea turtles small and far away.

最初のサンドバーでは、きれいで時間も余裕がありとっても満足でした！

ウミガメは、遠くの方に小さくしか見られませんでした。

I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.

朝早くからテンションあげあげなクルー達と楽しくイルカ、亀をみれました！
船酔い、波酔いはあると思うので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。
自分は波酔いしてしまって後半滑り台とかで遊べなかったですが妻が他の参加者の方と謳歌していました :)
帰りの着替えする場所は船上かトイレしかないので濡れたまま帰る準備はあっても良いかもです。

This was a surprise for my mom and daughter who had never been to Hawaii! It was super easy to order online. Everything went exactly how it was supposed to. It was easy to spot the person holding the sign with our names on it. Excellent job! My mom and daughter were surprised and happy! Thank you!

This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.

I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Also, since they can only be seen from a distance, I couldn't tell what they were. Apparently, the tail was visible. It seems like having a telephoto lens or binoculars would be a good idea. It might not be an activity you can fit into a short number of days.

酔い止めの薬の事前服用をオススメします。
あと遠くにしか見れないので小さくて私は分かりませんでした。
尻尾が見えたらしいですが。
望遠レンズ、望遠鏡もあったほうが良さそうです。
少ない日数の中で入れるアクティビティじゃないかも。

I was immediately shown to my seat when I presented the voucher. For the main pasta, I could choose from two options and I selected the Bolognese. It was very delicious.

One disappointment was that when the soup arrived, there was no spoon at hand, and I received the spoon only after finishing it, so it would have been better if it had been placed from the start. The service was in Japanese, and the dessert at the end was also very delicious and soothing. I want to go again.

バウチャーを見せたらすぐに席に案内されました。メインのパスタは二種類から選べたのでボロネーゼを選択。とても美味しかったです。
一つ残念だったのは、スープが出てきたときにスプーンが手元になく、飲み終えてからスプーンをくださったので、最初から置いてもらえたらよかったです。日本語での接客でしたし、最後のデザートまでもとても美味しくて癒されました。また行きたいです。

The pickup did not arrive even after the meeting time had passed, and when I called Sea Life Park, I couldn't get through because it was outside of business hours. In the end, they arrived about 15 minutes late. The dolphins were very cute and amazing. The photos were sold for $15 each, which felt a bit expensive. Also, since the return shuttle was combined with other time slots, I ended up having about 3 hours of free time after it was over, so I took the bus home.

集合時間過ぎても迎えが来ずシーライフパーク に電話をしても営業時間外で繋がらなかった。結局15分ほど遅れて来た。イルカはとても可愛くて最高でした。写真が1枚15ドルでの販売で少し高い。また帰りの送迎がほかの時間帯の方と合わせる為、終わってから3hほど時間を持て余したのでThe busで帰宅しました。

Three years ago, I participated in Dolphin University, and I thought that if I could go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join.

I was moved to see many more dolphins than before. I could hear their calls, and they swam right by me. The snorkeling was better last time, and I feel like I had more photos taken then, but the main focus is the dolphins, so that's okay.

The group of three 66-year-olds was initially anxious, but once they got into the water, they were completely absorbed and having a great time.

３年前にイルカ大学に参加し、またハワイに行けたら絶対参加したいと思っていました。

前よりたくさんのイルカ達が見れて、感動しました。
鳴き声も聞けたし、すぐ近くを横切ったり、
シュノーケルは前のが良かったし、写真も前のがたくさん撮ってもらえた気がしますが、メインはイルカなのでOK

66歳の三人組も、最初は不安がっていましたが１度海にはいると、夢中で楽しんでいました。

We participated as a couple!!
We achieved our long-held dream of swimming with dolphins!
We were able to meet them sooner than we expected, and it was moving.

Once we entered the water, we got to see a pod of dolphins up close!
However, there were many other tour guests, so our watching time was limited.
I wanted to see more, but I was very satisfied!!

In addition to dolphins, there were activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, allowing us to enjoy the unique scenery of the ocean while having fun.

The staff members were very friendly, and it was enjoyable even on the boat!

I want to participate again next time.

夫婦2人で参加！！
念願だったイルカと泳ぐを達成！
思った以上にすぐに会えて
感動しました。

いざ入水
近くでイルカの群れを見れました！
しかし、他のツアー客も多く
限られた時間でのウォチングでした。
もっと見たかったですが、
大満足でした！！

イルカ以外にも
シュノーケルやスタンドアップパドル等もあり、沖ならではの光景を楽しみながら遊べました。


スタッフの方々がとてもフレンドリーで
船上でも楽しいです！

次回も参加したいです。

Great & affordable shuttle to Diamond Head! The shuttle is very clean, comfortable and reliable.We were picked-up on time, the driver gave us instructions, a map and a bottle of water. The great thing about this tour is that you can walk at your own pace. The hike itself is easy, however towards the end there are some stairs. Walking through a lava tube was really cool. During the hike there are many lookout places with beautiful views of Oahu's south shore. You can see Waikiki, the mountains, downtown Honolulu & Koko Head from a distance and taking a lot of pictures. It was a great way to start my day. Thank you Kaimana Tours for such a great service and for taking me to one of Honolulu's top attractions, it's not everyday that you can tell your friends that your hiked am ancient volcano. I love Hawaii =)

This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.

I decided to take my entire family on a hike just to experience it and since we did not have a car rental planned, we decided to book a shuttle with Kaimana Tours! I was even more excited that they allowed us to bring my toddler (2 years old) as a lap child as long as we have a baby carrier, free of charge!

We were picked up by van on time directly from our hotel. The driver was very nice and friendly! The hike to the top was not too bad at all, even my girls enjoyed it (ages 8 & 10). Most of us are beginner hikers and the best part, the view of Waikiki was just breathtaking! I would definitely book Kaimana Tours again next time we visit! maybe go to Manoa Falls or Makapuu Point next time!! I will for sure recommend this to family and friends!

I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!

I took a tour bus to the location.
During the bus ride, the guide provided various explanations, making it a fun time.

Also, after arriving, the Japanese staff at the park were very attentive, allowing us to experience everything without any worries.

It's best to wear your swimsuit in advance; you just need to take it off when you get there. A bath towel and a change of clothes are sufficient.

As for the interaction with the dolphins, the instructor does not speak Japanese, but communication through gestures and other means is more than enough. It lasts about an hour, but it was so enjoyable that it flew by.

After the experience, we participated in a dolphin feeding experience (additional fee). We explored the park until it was time to leave. Although it was surprisingly small, we had a great time interacting with birds, watching the sea lion show, the dolphin show, shopping for souvenirs, and dining… it all went by in a flash.

ツアーバスにて現地へいきました。
バスの中では、ガイドさんがさまざまな説明を行ってくれ楽しい時間でした。

また、到着後もパークの日本語スタッフが丁寧に対応してくれ、不安なく体験できました。

水着は予め着用、現地では脱ぐだけ。
バスタオルと着替えがあれば十分です。

イルカとのふれあいですが、
インストラクターの方は日本語不可ですが、ジェスチャーなりなんなりで充分コミュニケーションしてくれます。
約1時間ですが、楽しすぎてあっという間でした。

体験後はイルカエサやり体験(別料金)をしました。
帰りの時間まではパーク内を散策。
意外と狭いのですが、鳥とのふれあい、アシカショー、イルカショー、お土産、食事…とこれまたあっという間でした。

It was my day off and kids were at school so I figured, why not do a "me" just for a day! I invited my friend to join me since she happened to have the same day off. We booked the Morning Cruise at 7:00am since the water is usually warmer and calmer, and we decided to drive ourselves to the harbor. What's good is that there is a restaurant at the harbor where you can buy coffee or breakfast before heading out.

Upon check-in, we were already given our snorkeling equipments, and an option to rent their body suits, which we rented for $10 each. They asked us to sign the liability waiver, and I think' it's cool that they even take your instagram information so they can tag you photos (if you're in it) that they upload at the end of the tour.

The staff and crew are very funny and entertaining! As we were heading out to the ocean, they peformed Polynesian dancing, and playing ukulele. They also performed traditional Hawaiian prayer for our safety. As we were getting closer, we could already see the pod of dolphins, af the signal from the crew members, we jumped to the water and started to swim with these beautiful dolphins!!! I never swam with dolphins in the open water before and this was really exciting!! There were lootsss of them!!

We hopped back on to the boat for our next snorkeling location and that before jumping in the water again, we were given some activity options to take such as stand-up paddle boarding, canoe ride, water slide, and many more!! It was just an awesome experience!!
Their lunch burgers were delicious too which were served as we were headed back to the harbor. It was long day but it was all worth it!!

Oh by the way, make sure to take seasickness pills if you get nauseous easily!

When I put my face in the sea, I was able to see several dolphins swimming. It felt mysterious, and I was moved by the sight of the blue sea and the dolphins swimming.

In May, the sea was a bit cold, so I was glad I rented a wetsuit (for a fee). During our time, there were many guests from other countries, and the staff were very lively, making it a fun time on the boat. I could especially feel the staff's attitude of wanting the guests to enjoy themselves. It was a wonderful time.

海に顔をつけると、泳ぐイルカを何頭か見ることができました。
見たときは不思議な感覚になり、青い海と泳ぐイルカの姿に感動しました。

５月で海は少し冷たかったので、ウェットスーツ(有料)を借りて正解だったなと思いました。
わたしたちの時は他の国のお客さんが多く、スタッフさん含めとてもノリがよく船の上でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
特にスタッフさんたちの「お客さんに楽しんでもらいたい」という姿勢が伝わってきました。楽しい時間でした。

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.

I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.

I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.

I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!

Great family excursion! Absolutely fantastic trip with knowledgeable, informative and passionate crew. Friendly and relaxed. Swam with dolphins twice and saw several sea turtles. Our captain even found a second pod of dolphins so we could see another type. Watched spotted dolphins leaping into the air in our wake and even spotted a reef shark! Can't recommend highly enough!

The whole experience was being on the sandbar, which was amazing. However the tide was to our waist and it wasn't very sunny so I'd plan better for a low tide. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Don't get excited about the BBQ lunch. It was fine but frozen stacks of burgers.

The highlight of snorkeling was seeing a giant sea Turtle, beyond that the water conditions made it hard to see other fish. And I doubted the sterilization of the snorkel gear.

I had a very precious experience swimming in a pool with dolphins, touching them, and holding onto their fins!

Although the price isn't cheap, I felt it was worth more than the cost!

They also took several photos for us, and the composition was great, so I decided to purchase them. It became a wonderful memory.

イルカと一緒のプールに入り
イルカに触れたり、ヒレに掴まって泳いだり
とても貴重な体験ができました！

価格も安くはないですが、値段以上の価値はあると感じました！

写真も何枚かとってもらえるのですが、
構図もよくて買わせていただき、
いい思い出になりました

It was boring because everything was in English and I couldn't understand what was being said. It felt like a waste of money since it was only foreigners who were excited. The snacks were also not great.

英語ばかりで英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからずつまらなかった。外国人だけで盛り上がり高いお金を出したのにもったいなかったです。軽食ももイマイチでした。

This is my fifth time participating! My eight-year-old child loves it, and whenever we go to Hawaii, we always join in!

This time, I didn't go into the water because I'm pregnant with my second child, but they took us to the sandbar in a kayak to keep us dry! Thank you very much.

Even those who didn't snorkel were able to ride on the speedboat, and the service was excellent✨

We were also lucky to have sea turtles swim close to us, and my child was thrilled to see them up close! Sometimes the turtles come to play, and sometimes they don't, but we were very lucky this time.

The food has changed from sandwiches to meat, and the meat was very delicious! (I'm not sure if the menu has changed or if it was a special menu just for this time...)

I want to go again! Thank you!

もぉ5回目くらいの参加です！
子供(八歳)が大好きでHawaiiに行ったときは
いつも参加させて頂いています！


今回私は二人目妊娠中で海には入らなかったのですが、カヤックで濡れないようにサンドバーまで連れていっていただきました！
ありがとうございます。

シュノーケルをしなかった方もスピードボート？に乗せてくださり、とってもサービスが良かったです✨

また海亀も近くまで泳いできて、とっても近くで見ることができ子供も大喜びでした！
海亀も遊びに来てくれるときと、来てくれないときはありますが今回はとってもラッキーでした。

ご飯は今まではサンドイッチだったのが
お肉になっていて、そのお肉もとっても美味しかったです！(メニューが変わったのか、今回だけ特別メニューだったのかは分かりませんが…)

また行きたいと思います！
ありがとうございました！

It was raining at the time of departure, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the rain had completely stopped, and we were greeted with a wonderful view of the clear sea. We walked a little in the water to get to the shallow area of the sandbar from the boat, but the sand was not as soft as I expected, and it was a bit painful on bare feet, so it might be better to have marine shoes. The snorkeling experience allowed us to see sea turtles, making it a memorable tour.

出発時は雨でしたが、サンドバーに到着の頃は雨もすっかり上がり、透明な海が広がる素晴らしい景色でした。
船からサンドバーの浅瀬に行くまで、海の中を少し歩きますが、思ったよりサラサラの砂地では無く、素足だと少し痛いのでマリンシューズがあった方がいいかもしれません。
シュノーケリングではホヌにも会えて、思い出になる素晴らしいツアーになりました。

I signed up for the 11 AM start. They came to pick me up around 9 AM in Waikiki. It was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member with us from pick-up to drop-off. The weather wasn't great, but we encountered a sea turtle right at the start. As soon as we began snorkeling, we were able to see a pod of dolphins. It felt like we were floating on the surface while watching the dolphins swim below us.

After about 30 minutes, we got back on the boat and enjoyed hamburgers while watching the staff perform hula. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, so it was neither good nor bad. Although it was mentioned that there would be SUP and a slide, there were very few of them, so we couldn't enjoy them much.

The staff were all young and seemed to be having fun joking around the whole time.

I signed up to receive photos on a USB for $55. There were quite a few photos, but only a few of them had us looking decent. Most were pictures of strangers who were on the same boat. I wasn't sure what to do with those. Additionally, there were many photos of dolphins and sea turtles that definitely weren't from today, which was disappointing. I didn't need those kinds of photos.

１１時スタートに申込み
９時頃にワイキキにお迎えに来てくれます。
お迎えから送りまで日本人のスタッフさんがついていてくれるので安心感がありました。
天気はあまり良くなかったのですがスタートしていきなりウミガメに遭遇～
シュノーケリング始めるとすぐにイルカの群れを見ることができました。
海上にプカプカ浮きながら海中を泳いでるイルカを眺める感じでした。
３０分弱で船上にあがりスタッフのフラダンスを眺めながらハンバーガーをいただきました
ランチには期待してなかったので可もなく不可もなくといったところです。

そんなのもらってもどうしてよいものか
また、絶対に今日の写真ではないイルカやウミガメの写真が盛りだくさん使われていたのにはガッカリ
こんな写真ならいらなかったです

Swimming with dolphins was amazing, and I also got to sing, dance hula, and experience the local culture! This tour sparked my interest in Hawaii and local culture, making me want to go back! The crew was very enthusiastic about entertaining the guests, which made me really happy!

Please note that banana-patterned swimsuits are prohibited, and you're not allowed to eat or bring bananas in the morning, so be careful! There were many newlyweds on the tour!

イルカと一緒に泳ぐことはもちろん、歌を歌ったり、フラを踊ったり、ロコの文化を感じることができました！ハワイやロコ文化に興味が湧いてきて、また行きたい！と思わせてくれるツアーでした♩
また、クルーもツアー客を楽しませる熱意が強くて、気持ちがすごく嬉しかったです！
バナナ柄の水着は禁止で、朝にバナナを食べて行ったり、持って行くことも禁止なので気をつけてくださいねー！
新婚さんが多かったです！

I made a reservation for a low tide day during my stay in Hawaii. The weather was great, and it was really beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious because they grilled the meat right there, and they were huge! I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat.

It seemed that the visibility for snorkeling wasn't great that day, so we could only see around the coral reefs, but they give you bread to feed the fish, which was fun. It was a very enjoyable tour.

The bus ride was extremely cold due to the air conditioning, so it's essential to prepare for the cold.

ハワイ滞在中での干潮の日に予約しました。
天気にも恵まれすごく綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーもお肉をその場で焼いてくれるのでとっても美味しかったです。しかも大きい！
海亀も船の上からですが見れました。

シュノーケリングはその日は透明度が悪かったようで珊瑚礁周りしか見えませんが、餌用にパンをくれるので魚が寄ってきたり楽しめます。
とても楽しいツアーでした。

道中のバスはエアコンがとにかく寒いので、寒さ対策は必須です。

It was a great tour! I loved that we got enough time to spend in the places we stopped at. Also, Sam was our tour guide and he was very nice and gave us fun and important information about Kauai. Great experience. My favorite stops were the Waimea Canyon (breathtaking!) and the super fun Wailua River tour.
