All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I enjoyed both the activities and the snorkeling tour. However, I chose to participate on a day when the tour coincided with low tide, hoping to see the sandbar appear, but even at low tide, the sandbar did not show up, and the sea... It's disappointing. It was supposed to be a medium tide, but maybe it needs to be a day with a lower tide...

アクティビティもシュノーケリングツアーも楽しめました。
ただ、サンドバーが出現するのを狙って、丁度干潮の時間帯にツアーが当たる日を選んで参加してみましたが、干潮になってもサンドバーは現れず、海の中・・・
残念です。中潮の予定でしたが、もっと潮が引く日じゃないと駄目なのかもです。。。

Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing many great behind-the-scenes stories!

The atmosphere was full of aloha spirit, with performers who you can tell take so much pride in sharing the history.

Comfortable transportation and made this day stress-free allowing us to see everything we wanted!

Highly recommend for families looking for an authentic luau experience on Oahu!

Chief’s Luau was an unforgettable evening. The fire knife dancing finale was unbelievable!!

This tour was a meaningful and well-organized experience. Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the Arizona Memorial was deeply moving, and the Punchbowl National Cemetery stop was a respectful stop en route.

My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found the staff and guides friendly, interesting and helpful. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the tour, we could have been given more time to tour the USS Missouri.

Children under 2 years old are free, and there are plenty of kids' pools, which made for wonderful memories. My child accidentally pinched their finger and got a little hurt, but they received immediate care for free at the first aid station. We were able to enjoy ourselves until the very end without worry.

2歳児の子どもが無料で、キッズプールがたくさんあり素敵な思い出になりました。
子供が指を挟んで少し怪我をしてしまいましたが、救護室で無料ですぐ手当してくれました。安心して最後まで楽しめました。

There was a great plan where the second person is free, and I participated! The free drink service was also fantastic. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii. The new water slide was a lot of fun!

2人目無料のお得なプランがあり、参加させて頂きました！
ドリンク無料のサービスもあり、最高でした。またハワイに行く際は利用したいです。
新しいウォータースライダーがとても楽しかったです！

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.

ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。

I was anxious about the tour being only for foreigners, but I had a great time. The service was very attentive from the time I signed up for the tour.

外人しかいないツアーで不安でしたが…凄く楽しく過ごせました。
ツアー申し込み時より、丁寧な対応でした。、

I participated because I wanted my children to play in the beautiful sea. We gathered in the morning and were taken by microbus; on the way back, we were dropped off directly in front of our hotel from the port. During the journey, we were introduced to famous restaurants in Hawaii, and since my Japanese is quite good, I had no worries.

At the dock, we took care of restroom needs and prepared ourselves. The restroom on the boat is very small and inconvenient, so it's better to use the facilities here. Since it was a weekday, the boat wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to relax.

Each person received one spam onigiri, and other snacks and drinks were free. It might be a good idea to have a decent breakfast beforehand to enjoy the day with full energy.

On the way to the sandbar, we stopped at a spot to see sea turtles, and we were able to see many from the boat. I thought we might see some at the sandbar too, and we actually did!

The water level that day was about waist-high for adults; if it's too shallow, we might not see anything. Conversely, if it's deeper, children might get scared. When the wind is strong, it can get chilly, and the waves can make activities like SUP a bit challenging.

You can rent SUPs, masks, fins, and boogie boards that allow you to see underwater. However, personally, I thought it might be better to bring my own mask since the size might not fit well.

I think it would be quite difficult to change clothes on the boat, so it's a good idea to prepare a towel that can thoroughly dry you off and a rash guard to wear over your swimsuit.

綺麗な海で子供を遊ばせてあげたくて参加しました。朝集合場所に行きマイクロバスで送って貰います、帰りは港から直接滞在ホテル前に送って貰いました。道中でハワイの有名な飲食店等紹介して貰いながら目的地へ向かいます、日本語が達者なので不安等はありませんでした。

船着場でトイレ等済ませて準備します、船のトイレは非常に狭いし不便なのでここで済ませた方が吉です。船上では平日だった事もあり超満員じゃ無かったのでゆったり過ごせました。

スパムおにぎりは一人1個、他のスナックやドリンクはフリーでした。事前に朝食をそこそこしっかり食べた方が体力満タンで楽しめるかも知れません。

サンドバーへ向かう途中ウミガメのスポットに立ち寄ると船上から沢山のウミガメを見る事が出来ました、ひょっとしたらサンドバーにもいるかもと思っていたら本当に会えました！

この日は大人の腰位の高さの水位でした、余りにも浅いと会えないかも。逆にこれ以上深いと子供が怖がるかも知れません。
風が強いと身体が冷えます、波も少し立って、SUP等は流されます。

SUP、マスク、フィン、水中が見えるビート板等は借りれます。ただ個人的にはマスクはサイズ合わないかもなので自分で準備した方が良いかもと思いました。

船上で着替える事は中々難しいと思うので、しっかり水気を拭き取れるタオルと、上に羽織れるラッシュガード等を確実に準備したら良いと思います。

No one was there, and I couldn't receive anything. I want my money back. Anyway, there was no one who seemed to be in charge. I question the quality of the service.

誰もいない、受け取れない。お金を返して欲しい。とにかくそれらしい人はどこにもいなかったです。サービスとしてどうかと思います。

I participated because I wanted to meet the lucky honu in Hawaii, and I was able to see them. Although it was a bit rainy and cloudy in the morning, by the time I arrived, the rain had stopped, and I enjoyed everything, including snorkeling and standing on the board.

ハワイの幸運をもたらすホヌと会いたくて参加しました、会えました。朝が少しの雨と曇りだったけど着いた頃雨も上がりシュノーケーリングも立って乗るボードも何もかも楽しめました。

For our first activity in Hawaii, we chose Dolphin University. On the two-story boat, we could enjoy cruising on the upper deck while feeling the wind before meeting the dolphins. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with light rain, but there were plenty of dolphins. Dolphins have the second-largest brain size after humans, and they swam around the boat, seemingly aware of us. Along the way, the kids got a bit seasick, but overall, we were able to finish the trip in good spirits. I would love to try again on a sunny day!

Also, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. There are warm water showers on the boat, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by bus from Waikiki. However, they turned off the air conditioning on the way back, which was reassuring.

ハワイの最初のアクティビティとして、イルカ大学を選びました。２階建ての船で、イルカに出会う前までは2階で風を感じながらクルージングできます。あいにくの曇りと小雨でしたが、イルカは沢山居ました。イルカは人間に次ぐ脳みその大きさで、なかなか空気を読んでくれて船の周りで泳ぎ回ってくれました。途中で子供達がseasicknessになりましたが、おおむねご機嫌で終わることができました。また晴れの日にチャレンジしたいですね！
あと、着替えはあったほうが良いです。温水シャワー船内にありますし、ワイキキからはバスで40〜50分かかります。でも帰りはエアコンOFFしてくれるので、安心でした。

The whole crew were so nice and professional. We definitely had an amazing experience first time snorkeling.

In early June, since it was still before the peak season, I was able to enjoy all the attractions with almost no waiting! I would love to come back during this time again. ^ - ^

6月初旬、まだ本格的にシーズンインしていない時期とあって、全てのアトラクションにほぼ並び無しで参加できました！
またこの時期に来たいです^ - ^

Bri was amazing! The tour was great . We got to see a little bit of everything & bri made it fun!!

I visited at the end of May on a weekday. The location is about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu Airport, even further from Waikiki. There are package tickets that include official shuttle bus service, or you can add shuttle service as an option, but it costs about 5,000 yen per person. It's also possible to take a bus transfer, but it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, so I can't recommend that. When I checked Uber from Waikiki at 9:40, it was $31 one way, so I definitely recommend going by Uber!

I arrived in time for the 10:30 opening and entered. There are few changing rooms, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit from the hotel. You can store your belongings in lockers. The large locker costs $22, and the small locker costs $18. It was more expensive than I had researched beforehand. Even the small locker was large enough to hold clothes and valuables for two people.

I got used to the wave pool and was ready to go to the slides, but I was surprised to find that many of the slides were out of service. On that day, popular slides like the Waianae Coaster, Shaka, and Ohana Highway were all closed, and the lazy river was also not in operation.

Since there was no choice, I went to the end of the line for the slides that were operating, but the staff told me that this slide would also be closed, so I had to go somewhere else. It hadn't even been an hour since the park opened... It seemed that there were not enough staff, and even the attractions that were operating were on a rotation. Because of this, people concentrated on the slides that were open, and I had to wait an hour for some of them.

Also, that day the closing time was early at 3 PM. With only four and a half hours available, I ended up waiting for an hour and couldn't enjoy the slides at all. The slides themselves are really fun, but since they take up almost a whole day, I recommend them for those who have several days for their trip. On the way back, I was able to get an Uber quickly for $40.

5月末の平日に行きました。
場所はワイキキからだと、ホノルル空港よりさらに先になり、クルマで約40分ほどかかります。オフィシャルの送迎バスがついたパッケージチケットや、オプションで送迎をつけることもできますが、一人約5000円かかります。またバスを乗り継いで行くことも可能ですが、1.5時間〜2時間かかるそうなのでオススメはできません。
ワイキキで9:40にUberで調べたら片道31ドルだったので、絶対にUberで行くのがオススメです！！

10:30のオープンに合わせて到着し、入場。更衣室は数が少ないのでホテルで水着を着ていく方がいいと思います。ロッカーで荷物を預けられます。大きいロッカーは22ドル、小さいロッカーは18ドルでした。事前に調べていたより値上げしてました。小さいロッカーでも着替えや貴重品を2人分預けても十分な大きさでした。

波のプールで身体を慣らし、いざスライダーへと思いましたが、びっくりすることに運休のスライダーが多いことに気づきました。
この日はワイアエナコースター、シャカ、オハナハイウェイなど魅力的な人気スライダーが軒並み運休、加えて流れるプールも稼働していませんでした。

仕方ないので、動いてるスライダーに並ぼうと列の最後尾に行くと、このスライダーは運休になるから別に行ってくれと係員から言われました。まだ開園から1時間経ってないのに、、スタッフが少ないようでなんと稼働してるアトラクションすらローテーションで回しているのです。そのせいで動いてるスライダーに人が集中して、滑べるまで1時間待ったものもありました。

またこの日は閉園時間が早く15時。
4時間半しかないのに1時間も待たされ、結局、全然スライダーを楽しめませんでした。
スライダー自体はすごく楽しいですが、ほぼ一日使ってしまうので日数のある旅行の方にオススメです。
帰りもUberがすぐ来る場で40ドルで帰れました。

Minako, who attended to us, was incredibly kind! 😍 We got to see so many dolphins, it was the best! 😆😆 I want to go again! ✨

アテンドをしてくださったミナコさん‼︎
めちゃくちゃ親切でした😍
イルカもたくさん見れて最高でした😆😆

また行きたいです✨

Hanauma Bay was very beautiful. I participated from the morning, and at that early hour, the tide hadn't come in yet, so the corals were very close, and I could see the fish without snorkeling. I went just before Golden Week, but the water temperature was low and it was cold. There weren't many colorful fish, but I was very satisfied.

ハナウマ湾とても綺麗でした
午前から参加したのですが、朝イチの時間はまだ潮が満ちておらず、珊瑚が近すぎてシュノーケルなくても魚が目視できる感じでした
GW直前にいったのですが、水温が低く、寒かったです
カラフルなお魚はあまりいませんでしたが、大満足でした

If you have time, I think you would enjoy a longer movie location tour instead of a half-day tour, or even horseback riding. This tour has beautiful scenery, but basically, you can only see similar views.

時間があるなら、半日ツアーではなく滞在時間が長い映画のロケ地巡りや、馬に乗った方が楽しめると思います。このツアーも景色は綺麗ですが、基本的に似たような景色しか見れません。

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

As a tourist, I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery at places that required joining a tour. I also saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. The price was a bit high, but I had a great time throughout, the lunch was delicious, and overall, I’m glad I participated!

観光客としてはツアーに参加しないと行けない場所で綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。ウミガメやお魚もいっぱい見れました。値段は少し高いですが、終始楽しく過ごすことができ、お昼ご飯も美味しく、総合的に参加して良かったです！

We are visiting from Australia and very impressed with the service and quality of this tour. Bus driver was hilarious, he had all the Dad jokes and was very informative. The Pearl Harbor Tour was both informative and respectful. Plus we received a delicious lunch. Bus was very comfortable and clean and on time. Would definitely recommend.
