All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに･･･‼でも船上ＢＢＱハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう！スタッフもgood

Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.

海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた！！言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。

It was cloudy on the day, but the staff member, 19-year-old Joan, was very friendly and took great care of my 12-year-old child, making it a lot of fun. I participated in the afternoon plan, and both the staff and the food were excellent.

当日曇りでしたが、スタッフのジョアン１９歳がとても人懐こくて１２歳の子供の相手をしてくれてとても楽しめました。
　午後のプランで参加しましたが、スタッフも食事も最高でした。

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.

船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

The tour was really interesting and opened up my eyes about what happened at Pearl Harbour however the Arizona Memorial happened to be closed. One great thing about the tour was hat everyone was really on time so we were able to stop at the palace for 20 mins and walk around and take pictures. The driver was amazing with giving information and thinking on his feet giving us more time at places, very smart and great speaker, and also dropped people off at Waikiki destinations rather than hotels if they desired.

On May 4th, I visited with my second-grade child. The bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:55 AM and we arrived around 10 AM. We received a pamphlet with the meeting time for the return and a map of the park. The return meeting time was at 3:15 PM, which left us with less time to play than expected. There were shallow athletic pools for preschoolers who couldn't ride the attractions yet, as well as pools for elementary school students, so I felt reassured. The weather was cloudy and not too hot, making it comfortable, but the water was quite cold. It would have been better if it were a bit warmer. Once you enter the park, it's best to check the operating hours of the attractions first. The times when they are less crowded vary by attraction, so there is a possibility you might not be able to ride them. I thought the barbecue would be all-you-can-eat grilled meat, but it was disappointing to find only a small variety of salad greens, shredded meat, fruit, rice, and yakisoba. I'm considering whether to visit again.

5月4日に小学二年生の子供と利用しました。朝8時55分にホテルにバスがお迎え10時近くに着きました。迎えの集合時間が書かれてる用紙と園内の地図が付いたパンフレットを貰います。帰りの集合時間は15時15分と遊べる時間が以外に短い間。アトラクションがまだ乗れない幼稚園児が遊べる浅いアスレチックスのプールや小学生が遊べるプールがあるから安心でした。天気は曇りでそれほど暑くなく過ごしやすかったのですが、水が結構冷たいです。もう少し温かったら良かった。入園したらまずアトラクションの営業時間を確認した方がいい。アトラクションによって空いてる時間が違うから、乗れなくなる可能性もあります。バーベキューは、網で焼かれたお肉を食べ放題だと思ってたのですが、サラダ菜と細かく裂かれた肉とフルーツとご飯と焼そばで種類も少なく期待していただけにがっかりでした。 次利用するかは考えますね。

The whole experience was fantastic...from the crew who were extremely helpful to the accommodations. Boat was new, not overcrowded. Ride went from the harbor to Diamond head. Saw turtles, fish and even a pod of dolphins. Captain provided good information. Definately recommend.

The cloudy sky was a blessing, allowing us to enjoy almost all the attractions in the cool weather. We had an unexpectedly great time.

曇り空が幸いし、涼しいなかほとんどのアトラクションに乗ることが出来ました。想像以上の楽しさを満喫しました。

I think it's a tour that is influenced by the tides. It was my first time participating, but I was able to land on the sandbar successfully. Maybe it's because I've been behaving well lately—haha! I was also able to see the honu (sea turtle) properly. When it was time to return to the port, the guide waved goodbye and came to greet us!

We practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the guide stayed with us, constantly checking in to see if we were okay, which was reassuring. The meal we had on the boat was super delicious. I especially loved the chili beans. I definitely want to participate again!

潮の満ち引きで左右されるツアーだと思います。初めての参加でしたが、しっかりサンドバーに上陸出来ました。日頃の行いが良いからかなぁー笑
ホヌちゃんにもしっかり会う事ができました。また、港に蛙時間になったら、武具さんがバイバーイって、ご挨拶に来てくれました！！
浅瀬で、シュノーケリングの練習もするし、一緒に着いてきてくれて、また大丈夫？って、常に声をかけてくれるので安心でした。
船で頂いた食事も、超～美味しかったです。
特にチリビーンズがお気に入りです。
是非、また参加したいでーす。

I read in the reviews that there was no need to pay, but it was incredibly fun and the best experience!
1. The Lot Ticket Tour allowed us to enter the world of movies and experience Jurassic Park!
2. The Jungle Tour was amazing because we had a driver with incredible driving skills, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
3. The Garden Tour was nice since it was a botanical garden.
My child is 9 years old, and while we couldn't do the buggy or horseback riding, this choice was the best.
I've experienced various optional tours abroad, but this was the most enjoyable.
My image of Hawaii has completely changed.
It is indeed pricey, but it's worth it!
The meals were also suited for Japanese tastes, like teriyaki chicken.

口コミには、払う必要が無いって書いてましたが、とんでもなく楽しくて最高でした！
①ロチケツアーは、映画の世界に入れて、ジェラシックパークを体感できました！！
②ジャングルツアーは、ドライビングテクニックが、凄い方に当たったので、ジェットコースターのように、楽しめました。
③ガデーンツアーは、植物園なので、それなりに、良かった。
子供は9才ですが、バギーも馬も無理でしたが、
このチョイス最高。
海外のオプシナルツアーを色々体験してますが、1番楽しめました。
ハワイのイメージ激変。
確かにお高いですが、良いです！
食事も日本人向きでした。照り焼きチキン(^-^)

Chartered bus and boat with meals included. They also lend you masks and fins, so you don't have to worry about arranging those yourself. The meals are sufficient considering the location, and the prices are attractive compared to other companies. This tour is one of the few that allows snorkeling near the coral reefs and accepts children. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather, so I will participate again. Next time, I will dive in without a life jacket from the start!

バスと船のチャーターおまけに食事付き。マスクとフィンも貸してくれますので、自分で手配する煩わしさを考えると言うこと無しでしょう。
食事も場所を考えると充分ですし、価格も他社比較でも魅力的です。
サンゴ礁付近でスノーケリングができて、子供の参加を受け付けてくれるのはこのツアーくらいでは？
残念ながら天候に恵まれなかったので、また参加します。次回は最初からライフジャケット無しで潜りまくります！

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.

夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか？
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

We participated as a couple.
The weather on the day was cloudy with occasional rain, which made the scenery disappointing.
The snorkeling visibility was not great due to the lack of sunlight. It was cold for late April with this weather.

The lunch was delicious, and the staff's service was very good.
A sea turtle came right up close, and we were able to observe it closely.

夫婦で参加しました。
当日は曇り～時々雨といったところで、景色は残念なものに。
シュノーケリングも太陽光が無いため視界がイマイチでした。
4月下旬で、この天気だと寒かったです。

ランチは美味しく、スタッフの対応はとても良かったです。
ウミガメがすぐそばまで来て、じっくり見れました。

It was a very good experience tour.

I thought a regular pickup would come, but a really cool, big, and beautiful bus arrived, and everyone got excited.

There were plenty of monitors inside the bus, and the explanations were easy to understand. The female guide not only spoke Japanese but also created a great atmosphere, making it fun.

The tour was enjoyable for all the members. We got to see and swim with dolphins.

The snorkeling afterward was also very good. Since it can be cold, it's definitely better to borrow a wetsuit at the beginning.

とても良い体験ツアーでした。

普通のお迎えが来ると思っていたらとてもカッコいいデカイ、キレイなバスがきてみんなでテンション上がりました。

モニターもバス内にたくさんあり、説明がわかり易かったです。
ガイドの女性も日本語が話せるだけではなくとても空気を作れる方で楽しかったです。

ツアーは、メンバーが全て楽しかったです。
イルカも見れて泳げて

その後のシュノーケルもとてもよかった。
寒いので
最初の段階で必ずウェットは借りたほうがいいです。

On the day of the tour, it unfortunately rained, but I was able to see both sea turtles and manta rays up close! The staff were all friendly, making it a fun tour.

ツアー当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、ウミガメ・マンタ両方を間近で見ることができました！
スタッフも気さくな方々ばかりで楽しいツアーでした。

I participated in the tour on the morning of April 12. The tide was high, and the minimum line was at waist level, so we couldn't see the sandbar. Moreover, the weather was bad and the water temperature was low, causing those who participated in snorkeling to shiver so much that they could hardly eat. It was disappointing that we couldn't fully enjoy the sea, but it was nice that a turtle came close to the boat. The staff also entertained us, and the food was delicious.

４月１２日朝のツアーに参加しました。
潮位が高く、最低ラインは腰の位置で、サンドバーは見れませんでした。
しかも、天候が悪くて水温が低く、シュノーケリングに参加した人たちは、寒さで食事を取る手もガタガタ震えていたほどです。
十分に海を楽しむことができなくて残念でしたが、亀が船の近くまでよってきてくれたので、よかった。
スタッフも楽しませてくれたし、食事も美味しかった。

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time touching a dolphin, but when I saw the dolphin's face up close, it was really cute. Swimming with the dolphin was a lot of fun.

初めてイルカに触れるとあって多少緊張していましたが実際にイルカの顔を近くで見るとすごく可愛いかったです。
イルカと一緒に泳ぐことが出来てとても楽しかったです。

It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.

雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。

It was rainy and cold, but when I saw the dolphins, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I highly recommend this tour!

雨が降って寒かったですが、イルカが見れた時は寒さも忘れるぐらい嬉しかったです。ぜひオススメのツアーです

The location tour was interesting and time passed quickly, but the next jungle tour? The guide was a foreigner and spoke only English. The places we visited felt similar to the location tour. I couldn't understand anything the guide was saying and we just rode around in a truck that had a bit more speed. If I had known the guide would only speak English, I wouldn't have gone.

We wasted about an hour and a half here, and the meal we finally returned to was terrible; it would have been better not to eat at all. The last taste farm had a Japanese guide who was easy to understand, which improved my mood a bit, but we spent almost the entire day going around similar environments and wasted precious time during our stay in Hawaii. I wish the Japanese site had mentioned in the notes that the guide would only speak English.

ロケ地ツアーは面白く時間が過ぎましたが続いてのジャングルツアー？ガイドが外人さんで英語のみ
回る場所もロケ地ツアーと雰囲気変わらず
ガイドが何言ってるか全くわからないままただ少しスピード感を出したトラックで回るのみ
英語のみのガイドなら行きませんでした。
ここで無駄に１時間半位時間を無駄にしやっと戻った食事がまた最悪、食べない方がマシでした。
最後のテイストファームはわかりやすい日本のガイドだったので少し気分が良くなりましたが、いかんせん同じような環境をほぼ一日中回ってせっかくのハワイの貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしました。
日本のサイトで申し込んで英語だけのガイドなら注意事項で書いておいてほしかったです。

We had a great experience. I went with my girlfriend, mom, and grandmother.
The tour gave us a good idea of the places we'd like to visit the next few days. Our tour guide, I think he name was Paul, was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and provided good advice for activities we could do the next few days.

On the day of the event, it was cloudy with a north wind blowing, so I rented a free wetsuit. Since it was high tide, the water level in the sandbar area was up to my stomach, which was different from what I had seen in the guidebook, so I was a bit disappointed. Just as we were leaving, the weather finally improved, and at the very end, I was able to see the beautiful emerald green sea and encounter a sea turtle, so I rated it three stars.

参加当日は曇りで北風が吹いており寒かったため、無料のウェットスーツをレンタルしました。ちょうど満潮だったため、サンドバーのエリアも潮位はお腹の辺りまであり、ガイドブックで見たサンドバーとは異なっていたため、少しガッカリしました。帰り際にようやく天気が回復してきて、最後の最後でエメラルドグリーンに輝く綺麗な海が見られたのと、ウミガメに出会えたため、評価は星3つとしました。

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.

As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.

念願の初ハワイ！
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り？イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス？ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように！
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Overall, the sunset cocktail cruise was excellent. The service staff was very attentive and would frequently go around the catamaran, refilling drinks and asking if you needed anything. The cruise itself did not take you very far from the pier, and stayed off the Waikiki coast, but still had an excellent view of diamond head and sunset. The appetizers were good, though not very substantial, consisting of chips, salsa, guacamole, salad, pasta salad, veggies, and rolls. Wouldn’t expect to get full from the food. The drinks were great, and basically free-flowing. Overall an excellent cocktail cruise

It felt like experiencing a movie on the same boat as foreigners! I even got to see dolphins! However, the waves were really strong, and the boat rocked a lot, so while I enjoyed it, those who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough!

外国の方とおんなじ船で映画の気分を味わってるようでした！イルカにも会えました！
ただ波がすごく船が大きく揺れるので私は楽しかったですが酔いやすい方はきついかもしれないです！

I did some research beforehand, and I decided to go because Captain Bruce can get you close to where the turtles are.

事前に調べての参加でしたが、キャプテンブルースが一番カメがいるあたりまで近くに行けるということで決めました。

Due to a sudden change in the hull inspection, we used this option. Since it was our wedding anniversary, I was worried about how it would turn out, but this was also very lovely. The view was great as well.

船体検査で急遽変更し、こちらを利用させていただきました。結婚記念日でしたのでどうなることかと思いましたが、こちらもとても素敵でした。景色もよく見えました。
