All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The sandbar was of course wonderful, and snorkeling was very enjoyable! There were many tropical fish, and above all, I was able to see sea turtles up close, which I think made for a lovely Hawaiian experience. I highly recommend it!

サンドバーはもちろん、シュノーケリングがとても楽しかったです！
熱帯魚もたくさんいましたし、何よりウミガメを近くで見ることができ、ハワイらしい素敵な体験ができたと思います♪おすすめです★

I couldn't meet the dolphins. However, the first bus at 5 AM was filled with discussions about seasickness bracelets and purchasing photos, and in the end, I couldn't see them... There were activities, but they were things I could do elsewhere... I'm not sure if other tour companies saw dolphins at different locations that day, but I won't participate again next time.

イルカに会えませんでした。
しかし、最初のバス朝５時から船酔いブレスレッドや写真の購入等の商売の話で、
結局みれず・・・アクテビティはあったが、他でも出来る内容だったり、、、
他社のイルカウオッチとは違う場所で、他社業者ツアーがその日みれたかわかりませんが、
次回参加はしないです。

We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.

新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20～30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか～りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました！ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。

It was great to be able to ride a submarine and see sea turtles. However, I was hoping to see more schools of fish, but there weren't as many as I expected... I was looking forward to clear waters, but it seemed a bit murky... I felt like I could see more colorful fish in the clearer seas of Okinawa while snorkeling. Maybe the timing was just off...? I'm not sure about that, but it turned out to be a rather disappointing tour.

潜水艦に乗れたのと、ウミガメをみられたのはよかったです。しかし、もっと魚群がみられるのかな…と思いきや、思ったほどおらず、、、。クリアな水中を期待していたが、何だか濁っていたり、、、。まだ、沖縄のシュノーケルの方が、クリアな海で色とりどりの魚を観ることができる気がしました。時期が悪かったのかなぁ…？その辺はちょっと分かりませんが、ガッカリ感が強いツアーになってしまいました。

It was refreshing to visit an amusement park that is quite rare in Japan. It was a pity that the lazy river was under construction and we couldn't go in, but we still had a great time! Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were few visitors, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time, which was fantastic. However, I do think we shouldn't expect the same level of employee quality and service as in Japan.

日本にはなかなか無いアミューズメントパークで、新鮮でした。流れるプールは工事中で入れないのが残念でしたが、それでも十分楽しめました！平日だからなのか、入場者数も少なく、待ち時間なく遊べることができて、最高でした。ただ、やはり、従業員の質やサービスは日本ほどのものを求めてはいけないとは思います。

The staff were friendly, the ship was clean and we enjoyed the food and entertainment. The entertainers, from the dancers to the musicians on our deck, were fun to watch and listen to. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. The only downside, in my opinion, was that they served dinner immediately after setting sail. Given that sunset was 30 mins after we sailed, we either had to choose to watch the sunset and let our food get cold, or eat our food and miss the sunset. We had plenty of time to eat, so I wish they had waited until after sunset to serve the food.

It is like an island in island. Beautiful location, beach & fishes...

Driver was on time and very good with quick explanation with equipment and what to do.

I will do it again...

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.

Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.

Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.

Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.
7-Course Dinner

Served in the luxurious top-deck Super Nova room, this premium French-style dinner menu features only the best seasonal ingredients picked and prepared by expert chefs. Maine lobster and top-quality beef tenderloin are sure to be highlights of the meal.
Drink Service

As a Five Star dinner guest, the full drink menu is available for you to order from. Up to three super premium beverages are included with your meal.
Sunset

As the final moments of daylight fade over the Pacific horizon, the Super Nova room fills with warm light. Views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.

当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

I highly recommend everyone to do this excursion! This was probably the highlight of my whole trip to O’ahu during 10/19-10/25. From the hospitality of the staff to the excursion activities itself, I would want to do this every time I come back!

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

Other than that, literally best time of my life!!

Our driver arrived on time (to the minute) to our hotel pick up point. He was cordial and helped with the seat belt shoulder strap (due to passengers need to ingress the rear set of seats). He dropped us off and picked us up as planned. We had a very nice hike up to the lookout station and WWII bunkers on Diamond Head. The view was absolutely worth the trip! Veltra made the trip that much more enjoyable.

Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.

Enjoyed it. Would have liked it to be a little longer but we were able to get great photos and see some sea turtles. If you are already at the Kualoa Ranch, then I recommend to do this too! Boat ride was nice and views were amazing!!! Tour guides were very informative.

A fun and unique experience. Big Cheif was a loveable entertaining character. The flame exerbition was incredible

When we arrived at the harbor in Kaneohe Bay, we were hit by a torrential downpour and were worried about whether we could set out to sea, but it stopped after about 10 minutes and we were able to depart safely. The water level was a bit high that day, reaching up to our thighs at the shallowest point. Perhaps because of the rain, the water was cold and slightly murky, but we were able to enjoy the emerald green sea typical of a sandbar.

The hamburger for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and the staff were cheerful, creating a great atmosphere. During the sea turtle watching, we encountered not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and while snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

カネオヘ湾の港に着いたときに土砂降りの雨に見舞われ海に出れるか不安でしたが、10分ほどで止み無事に出港。この日は少し水位が高めで一番浅くて太ももあたりでした。雨が降ったからか水が冷たく少し濁り気味でしたが、サンドバーらしいエメラルドグリーンの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
ランチのハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく、スタッフも明るくて良い雰囲気で過ごせました。
海ガメウォッチングで海ガメはもちろんレアなマンタに遭遇し、シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと、総合的にはとても満足度が高かったです。

The beach where you can see the fireworks is enough. It's cold, the boarding time is unnecessarily long, and the fireworks end in an instant. The food was nothing special either. That's how I felt. The only thing that remains is a sense of being overcharged. I won't ride again.

花火が見える海岸で充分です。
寒いし、乗船時間がムダに長いし、
花火は一瞬で終わるし。
料理も別に。という感じでした。
割高感だけが残りました。
二度と乗らない。

At first, I was anxious because we were meeting at the location with a rental car. However, the staff were all Japanese and very friendly, which made me feel at ease. It was great to see sea turtles up close. The food was also satisfying.

最初レンタカーで現地集合だったので不安でした。しかしスタッフも日本人でとてもフレンドリーな方ばかりで安心できました。海ガメも間近で見れて良かったです。料理も満足のいくものでした。

I participated with a friend. I was a bit anxious because the bus meeting point was hard to find, but it arrived a little later than scheduled, so that was good.

When we arrived at the site, there was an explanation in Japanese before we could enter, which made things go smoothly.

It happened to be a day when the lazy river was closed, but the paid surfboards were free, and many people were using them. We relaxed on the slides and in the wave pool the whole time. I thought it would be spacious, but it didn't feel that big, so I think we played on most of the attractions.

Personally, I found the pool more enjoyable than the sea since I didn't get covered in sand. We were allowed to bring our own water, so I thought we probably didn't need the all-you-can-drink soft drinks... The selection of soft drinks was also just soda and juices that tasted a bit strange.

友人と二人で参加しました。バスの集合場所がわかりづらく不安でしたが、予定よりすこし遅れてきちんときたのでよかったです。
現地につくと日本語で説明があってから中にはいれたのでスムーズにいきました。
たまたま流れるプールが使用できない日で、有料のサーフボードが無料になり、利用してる方も沢山いました。私たちはずっとスライダーや波のあるプールでのんびりしていました。広いのかなと思いきやそこまで広い感じでもなかったので、大体の遊具で遊んだかなぁというところです。
個人的には海よりプールのほうが砂まみれにもならず楽しかったです。
飲み物も水は持ち込み可だったので、ソフトドリンク飲み放題はつけなくてもよかったかなぁ……と思いました。ソフトドリンクのラインナップも炭酸とよくわからない味がしたジュースでした。

At first, we couldn't find them, and I was worried we might not see any dolphins. However, once we confirmed the presence of a pod, it was amazing to encounter so many dolphins. They swam alongside the boat and even jumped out of the water, which was just fantastic.

最初見つからず、ダメなのか的からのイルカの群れの確認連絡、そして沢山のイルカ達に出逢い船に上がってからの並走をしてくれたり、飛んでくれたり最高でした。

Bringing in drinks and food is not allowed, but if you hide them deep in your bag, you won't get caught. It wasn't as cold as I expected, but it seemed a bit difficult to keep my kids' spirits up. The wind was strong, so it was tough when the sunlight weakened. I went with my 9-year-old and 5-year-old sons, but my younger son was too short to ride most of the slides. The slides in the children's pool were fun, but some were quite deep, so life jackets are a must. I felt it was smaller than I expected, but my older son was able to experience everything during our time there. We could ride as many times as we wanted without much waiting. Don't expect much from the food.

飲料や食べ物の持込みは不可ですが、カバンの奥底に入れていたらバレませんでした。思っていたより寒くなかったですが子供にはちょっとテンション上げるのが難しそうでした。風が強かったので、陽射しが弱まると辛かったです。９歳、５歳の息子と行きましたが、次男は身長が足りずほとんどのスライダーに乗れませんでした。子供用のプールのスライダーは滑っていましたが、一部かなり深いのでライフジャケットは必須です。思っていたより狭いと感じましたが、時間いっぱい遊んで長男はすべて体験できました。ほぼ並ぶことなく何回でも乗れました。食事は期待しない方がいいレベルです。

I had previously enjoyed tropical fish while riding a submarine, but this time the weather was bad the day before, and the seawater was murky, which was a bit disappointing. However, I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. Since it was at Hilton, the access was also good, which is a plus.

以前にも潜水艦に乗ってトロピカルフィッシュを楽しんだんですが、今回は前日の天気が悪く海水が濁っており、ちょっと残念でした。ただ天気さえよければ十分楽しめると思います。ヒルトン拍だったのでアクセスもよくこの点はＧｏｏｄ

It seems that it is almost never the case that the sand appears at low tide as mentioned in the title. By the way, I heard that there hasn't been any sand visible this year. The crew members are very nice people. I was able to see turtles. The snorkeling was not great, with few fish. If you're bringing small children, make sure to take floaties with you. You should abandon any sweet thoughts of seeing a beautiful sandbar like I did.

題のように干潮になって砂が現れることは、ほぼないようです。
ちなみに今年に入って砂が見れた事はないと聞きました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方達です。
亀は見れました。
シュノーケリングは魚も少なく微妙です。
小さい子供連れの方は浮輪などを持っていくようにしましょう。
自分の時は綺麗なサンドバーが見れるなど、甘い考えは捨てた方がいいでしょう。

In the morning, it was raining, and I felt very disappointed, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped and the sun came out! The sandbar had water up to my waist and chest, and I thought it might have been better to check the tide before booking. However, during the snorkeling afterward, it quickly became deep from the sandbar, and I was moved to see corals, fish, and turtles! I booked the package with breakfast, and it was very delicious. The instructors were fun yet efficient. Thank you for the valuable experience!

朝は雨が降っており、とても残念に思っていましたが、船に乗る頃は雨も止み日も出てきました！
サンドバーは水が腰から胸のあたりまであり、潮の満ち引きを調べて申し込んだ方が良かったかなとは思いました。
でも、そのあとのシュノーケリングではサンドバーから一気に深くなりサンゴや魚たちや亀も見れて感動しまた！
朝食付きで申し込みましたが、とても美味しくて良かったです。
インストラクターの方々も楽しいながらもキビキビとしていました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございます！

The sight of the submarine emerging from the surface of the sea was impressive. Also, the guide was very entertaining. I think those who can understand English will enjoy it even more.

潜水艦が海面に出てくるところは迫力がありました。また、ガイドの方がとてもおもしろかったです。英語が聞き取れる方はより楽しめると思います。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first visit to Wet 'n' Wild, where I was able to experience the good side of the freedom of America. I went with my 5-year-old son to activities that had height restrictions, but he clearly didn't meet the height requirement... (^_^;) However, maybe it was the relaxed attitude of America? Or was it because I was friendly and engaged with the staff? We were able to participate without any issues! I think my child was very satisfied as he could join in on most of the activities! It's definitely a spot that adults can enjoy as well (^ - ^)/ I would love to visit again!

ハワイ二回目で初めて訪れたウエットワイルドでしたが良い意味で自由の国アメリカを体験出来ました。
身長制限のあるアクティビティに5歳になる息子と行ったのですが、明らかに身長足りてない、、、(^_^;)
しかし、そこはアメリカのユルさなのか？
ノリノリで話しかけたのが良かったのか?
難なく参加させてもらえました！
子供もほとんどのアクティビティに参加出来て大満足だったと思います！
大人も楽しめるおすすめのスポットですね(^-^)/
また訪れたいと思います！

I participated in a Japanese guided tour on a premium boat. Everything, from safety instructions to the guide, was in Japanese, so my aunt, who doesn't speak English, was able to enjoy it as well.

Due to the lack of coral reefs in the waters off the coast of Oahu, we couldn't see beautiful underwater scenery or vibrant tropical fish, but I was satisfied to see the wild fish gathered around the sunken reef up close.

プレミアム船の日本語ガイドツアーに参加しました。
安全の注意からガイドまですべて日本語でやってくれるので、英語ができない叔母でも楽しめました。

オアフ島沖の海底は珊瑚礁が少ないため、美しい海底も鮮やかな熱帯魚も見られませんでしたが、沈められた魚礁に集まった野生？の魚の様子を間近に見れて満足です。

I had checked the low and high tides in advance, so I thought I wouldn't be able to walk easily on the sandbar, and that turned out to be true. I think it's best for participants to expect water levels up to about waist height. However, the staff's energy was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed activities like volleyball, snorkeling, and lunch! If you're lucky, you can see a few sea turtles; I spotted five and was able to swim with two of them! Lucky!! One point to note is that it can get quite chilly on the boat when the weather is cloudy, so it's essential to have something to wear on top.

事前に干潮、満潮は調べていたのでサンドバーの上をスタスタ歩くことはできないだろうと思っていたらその通りでした。腰ぐらいの高さまでは普通にあるものだと思って参加された方がいいかと思います。ただ、スタッフさん皆さんのテンションは最高でバレーボール、シュノーケリング、昼食など存分に楽しめました！ウミガメも運が良ければ数匹見れます、私は5匹見つけ、2匹と一緒に泳げました！ラッキー！！1点だけ、移動する際の船の上は天候が曇りだと結構冷えるので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.

As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).

**Message from the tour company:**

There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.

I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.

I hope for improvements!

ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった！
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは？

ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ（ポロシャツ可）、長ズボン（ジーンズ可）、靴（スニーカー可）くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。


※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※

コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど？？
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。

最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。

改善を期待します！
