All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I was a bit anxious because the pickup time was delayed, but the bus was easy to understand. The plan also included all-you-can-drink options, so I was able to enjoy myself freely! The pool was not crowded, and I was able to ride a lot without any hassle, which was fun! At first glance, I thought it looked scary, but once I got on, it was really enjoyable!

少しピックアップの到着時間が遅れて不安になりましたが、
わかりやすいバスで
プランも飲み放題が付いていたので
自由に楽しむことが出来ました！
プールも混むことなくすんなりたくさん乗れて楽しかったです！
ぱっと見、怖いと思いましたが乗ってしまえばとても楽しかったです！

My family enjoyed the dinner cruise. The Staff were so accommodating to change the menu to their guests preference. I learned a lot which side I should wear my flower. The entertainment is awesome, complete with the proper attire to educate the guests about the Hawaiian tradition, I will highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone visiting Hawaii .Thanks to Emily of Veltra for helping me book the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise.

I visited Sandbar for the first time! The weather was great, and the sea was incredibly clear and beautiful! I was also able to see turtles, which made me very satisfied! The staff were very accommodating, and I highly recommend it!

初めてサンドバーに行きました！天候にも恵まれたこともあり、海がとにかく透き通っていてとても綺麗でした！さらにカメを見ることもでき、大満足でした！スタッフの方々の対応も非常によく、かなりおすすめです！

My boyfriend and I attended a morning cruise and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to set sail. Aside from the great weather and beautiful views, Captain Clifton (and his first mate) made the cruise even more enjoyable, with tons of informative facts and joke thrown into the mix. The boat was clean, the supply of drinks varied for adults and children and the day couldn't have been spent any better.

Thanks for the ride!

The weather was great, and the view of Diamond Head from the boat was amazing!! I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff offered drinks and I was able to chat with other Japanese tourists... I had a really enjoyable time. Also, I was very lucky to see a turtle towards the end! I would like to use this service again.

とても天気が良く、船から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！！一人参加ということで少し不安もありましたが、スタッフさんは飲み物とか勧めてくれるし、日本人観光客とお話しすることもできたし…とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
あと終盤に亀を見ることができたのもとてもラッキーでした！
また利用したいと思います。

Great experience. Bus driver very knowledgeable of Arizona memorial. Standing on the memorial floor was very humbling. Recommend this experience to my friends and family.
I would use this company again.

We went as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 5-year-old children. We played in the kids' pool, wave pool, and lazy river, and the kids were thrilled. The time until 3 PM was just right. We rented a cabana, but there were regular chairs with umbrellas available, so I think it wasn't necessary on a weekday during the off-season. There is a service where a Japanese staff member can bring food, but it was a bit inconvenient since there were no call buttons. In our case, they arrived around 1 PM, but we had already purchased our food. It might be a good idea to arrange to meet at noon during the initial greeting. Additionally, ① There are no towels, so make sure to bring your own. ② You probably won't need the free drinks. You can bring one unopened bottle of water, which should be sufficient. ③ Small floaties for kids and arm floaties are allowed.

２歳、５歳の子と家族４人で行きました。子供用プール、波のプール、流れるプールで遊びましたが、子供たちは大喜び、時間も15時までで丁度よかったです。カバナレンタルをしましたが、パラソル付きチェアーが普通に空いていてseason offの平日は必要ないかと思いました。一応食事を日本人スタッフが買ってきてくれるサービスがありますが、呼ぶボタンなどもないので使いづらかったです。うちの場合は13時頃にきましたがもう購入済みでした。最初の挨拶の時に12時に待ち合わせなどするといいかもしれません。その他、①タオルはないので持っていきましょう　②フリードリンクはたぶんいらない。未開封の水１本持ち込み可なのでそれで充分だと思います。 ③子供用の小さい浮輪、腕に付ける浮輪は持ち込み可　でした。

The local area was divided into different activities like movie tours and horseback riding, with a schedule set every 90 minutes.

My husband and I participated in the "Movie Location Tour," "Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour," and "Jungle Expedition." The movie locations looked exactly like what we saw in the films! If you're a movie lover, you'll definitely be thrilled! By the way, during the Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour, we explored the aquaculture pond by boat, which was also a famous filming location for Jurassic World. The Jungle Expedition had us racing through the mountains in a jeep while enjoying breathtaking views of Kualoa and the ocean. You really need to buckle up and hold on tight, as it shakes you around quite a bit! It's a fun attraction where motion sickness medication is a must.

By the way, the local staff who switch between English, Japanese, and Korean to accommodate guests are just too cool!

現地では映画ツアーや乗馬等で場所が分かれていて、時間ごと(90分？)に時間割が組まれていました。

私たち夫婦は「映画ロケ地ツアー」「トロピカルガーデン＆フィッシュポンドツアー」「ジャングルエクスペディション」に参加。
映画ロケ地はまさに映画で観たまんま！映画好きなら興奮しっぱなし間違いなしです！
ちなみにトロピカルガーデン＆フィッシュポンドツアーでは養殖池をボートで回りますが、ここもジュラシックワールドの有名シーンの撮影場所でした。
ジャングルエクスペディションはクアロアと海の絶景を見ながらジープで山の中を疾走。
ちゃんとベルトを締めて掴まってないとガンガン頭ぶつけるくらい、激しくゆさぶられます笑
酔い止め必須のおもしろアトラクションです。

それにしても、お客に会わせて英語、日本語、韓国語を使い分ける現地スタッフさん、かっこよすぎです笑

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and at my wife's request, we participated in a sandbar tour. Due to the weather, there was no sandy beach, and we were constantly submerged up to our waists in water, but the clear sea and the impressive view of Kualoa made us feel like we were part of nature. The staff were Japanese, and all the announcements were in Japanese. Because of that, all about 20 guests were also Japanese. In that sense, the feeling of being in Hawaii might be slightly diminished.

The tour boat was surrounded by sea turtles and fish that resembled porcupinefish, allowing us to take plenty of photos up close! We also enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, which was a lot of fun.

新婚旅行でハワイに行きましたが、妻の希望でサンドバーツアーに参加しました。
天候の関係か、砂浜はなく常に腰くらいまで水に浸かっている感じでしたが
澄んだ海や遠くに見えるクアロアが迫力満点で大自然の一部になっているような感覚でした。
スタッフさんは日本人の方で常に案内は日本語。それもあってか20名ほどのお客さんは
すべて日本人でした。そういう意味ではハワイに来た感覚は少し薄れるかもしれません。

ツアーの船に懐いているウミガメとハリセンボン？のような魚が周回してくれるので
近くで写真もたくさん撮れました！
シュノーケリングやパドルボートも遊べるのでとても楽しかったです。

I participated because I wanted my 2-year-old son to touch a dolphin. The dolphins were very cute. We were able to touch two of them. It was very disappointing that we couldn't take photos freely. If we could have taken more pictures, I would have purchased them, but since there was only one, I gave up on buying. There are many sea creatures, but we especially had a lot of fun in the area where we could feed the birds. The birds came and perched on our shoulders and heads, and they were very cute. When my son gets older, I want to try a course where he can swim with dolphins.

2歳の息子にイルカを触らせてあげたくて参加しました。イルカはとってもかわいかったです。二匹を触ることができました。写真が自由に撮れないのが非常に残念でした。もっとたくさん写真をとっていただければ購入したのですが一枚だけだったので購入諦めました。海の生き物がたくさんいるのですが、とくに鳥に餌をあげられるコーナーでたくさん遊びました。鳥たちが肩や頭に乗ってきてとてもかわいかったです。息子が大きくなったらイルカと一緒に泳げるコースにチャレンジしたいです。

There are various types of water slides, and since we went on a weekday, we were able to ride them multiple times! I thought the time might be short, but by the end, I was a little bored, and it was just the right time for the bus. I recommend eating lunch early as it gets crowded.

ウォータースライダーは様々な種類があり、また私たちが行った日は平日だったので何回も乗ることができました！時間が短いかなと思いましたが、最後の方は少し飽きが出てきたぐらいでバスの時間だったので、ちょうど良かったかなと思います。昼ご飯は混むので早めに食べるのをお勧めします。

Love the crew! They made it so much fun! Thank you so much for this memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back next year!!!

The meeting place was Sheraton Waikiki. It was a tour with many Japanese participants. As a result, the activities at the ranch included a movie location tour exclusively for Japanese speakers, with a bus and a Japanese guide, which made it easy to understand and enjoyable. The sets from movies like Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Kong were still there, and it was exciting to see them.

シェラトンワイキキが集合場所でした。
日本人が多く参加するツアーでした。そのため、牧場でのアクティビティの映画ロケ地巡りは日本人のみでバスが作られ日本語ガイドが付き、わかりやすく良かったです。映画のジュラシックパークやジュラシックワールドやコングのセット（もっともっといろいろな映画が撮影されていましたが）が残っていて、ワクワクしました。

There were Japanese staff members present, which made me feel安心して参加できました！ The movie location tour was great; the staff took photos for us and provided detailed guidance! The weather turned bad halfway through, but thanks to the staff, we had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃり、安心して参加できました！映画ロケ地ツアーは、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださったったり、案内も詳しくして下さいました！途中から天気が荒れてしまったのですが、スタッフさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました！オススメです！

The guide also took photos and really made it fun! The only disappointing thing was that since it was advertised as a barbecue, I was expecting a lot of meat and vegetables, but what came out were hamburgers. >_<

ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたら盛り上げてくれたりとっても楽しかったです！！
ただ１つ残念だったのは、バーベキューと書いていたので沢山のお肉や野菜を期待していたのですが出て来たのはハンバーガーでした>_<

On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my thighs even in shallow areas. However, the staff's hospitality and the luxurious meals showed various considerations for Japanese guests. After boarding, we were served drinks and donuts, and there was an all-you-can-eat lunch during the tour, which was satisfying.

It seems there are many similar tours to the same location, but I'm glad I chose this one even though it was a bit more expensive.

The bus driver for the round trip didn't seem to speak Japanese. On the way there, he explained the overall flow and the consent form in English, but I couldn't catch it well. There was consideration to ensure the air conditioning in the vehicle wasn't too cold, which made it feel a bit hot instead.

It's a pity that I couldn't see any turtles. There's nothing that can be done about that. I would like to participate again.

当日は浅い場所でも太ももくらいまで水位がありました。
しかしスタッフのホスピタリティや、食事の豪華さなど、日本人向けに色々な配慮がありました。
乗船後にドリンクとドーナツ。ツアー途中にも食べ放題のランチと満足です。
同じ場所に行く似たツアーは、他にも沢山あるようですが、多少高くてもこちらを選んで良かったなと思ってます。

往復のバスの運転手さんは日本語が出来ない方のようでした。往路で英語で全体の流れと承諾書記入の説明をされましたが、よく聞き取れませんでした。車内の冷房が冷えすぎないようにという配慮があり、逆に暑いくらいでした。

亀が見られなかったのが残念です。こればかりは仕方ないですね。また参加してみたいです。

I read reviews and was prepared to wait in long lines for the slides, but perhaps because it was a weekday, it was not crowded at all. There were only a few groups in line, and we enjoyed the slides from morning until closing. Even at lunchtime, there were only a few people in line, so we were able to buy our food smoothly. I am very satisfied.

口コミを見ると、スライダーが行列でたくさん待つと覚悟していましたが、平日だからか空いていて、数組しか並んでいなく、朝から終わりまでひたすらスライダーで楽しみました。お昼も数名しか並んでおらず、スムーズに買えました。大満足です。

The price and content are about the same. However, the round trip bus drive to the destination was surprisingly enjoyable. Many people were sleeping on the bus ride back... It had a different Hawaiian feel compared to downtown Honolulu, and I thought it was nice to be swayed on the bus.

However, since a middle-aged couple participated, I wished they would refrain from calling each other "papa" and "mama." It brought me back to reality all at once.

値段と内容は同程度。
ただ、目的地までの往復のバスドライブは意外と楽しかった。
帰りのバス中は結構寝ている人が多かったが・・・
ホノルル中心部とは違う　ハワイらしさがあって　the busで
揺られてもいいなぁ　と思ったりもした。

ただ、中年夫婦が参加したため仕方がないが
papa・mamaというのはやめてほしかった。
一挙に現実に引き戻された。

I participated in this tour on my honeymoon. Although I couldn't see any dolphins during the first two tries, I was able to see them swimming slowly in a pod up close during the next two attempts. I also saw rays and sea turtles, and it was an amazing experience to witness the sea turtles surfacing for air.

Listening to Alisa made me want to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle even after returning from Hawaii.

The wind was strong and it was cold on the boat, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I have participated in two other dolphin tours in the past, where I was able to buy disposable underwater cameras at the wetsuit rental location, but this time we didn't stop at such a store. If you want to use a disposable underwater camera, I think it would be good to purchase one in advance at an ABC Store or similar. However, on this tour, the photographer Michael took a lot of great photos of all the participants, as well as beautiful shots of the dolphins and sea turtles, so it was more than enough. Since you can focus on snorkeling rather than taking pictures, I think a camera is unnecessary if you join this tour.

Thank you, Takao, Alisa, and Michael, for a wonderful experience!

ハネムーンでの参加でした。
イルカは最初2回のトライでは見れませんでしたが、その後2回は群れになってゆっくり泳ぐところを間近で見ることができました。エイやウミガメも見れて、ウミガメとの息継ぎも見ることができ、最高の体験でした☆
アリサさんのお話を聞いて、ハワイから帰った後もエコな生活を心がけたいなと思いました。

船上は風も強く寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをお勧めします。
過去に2回他のイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、その際はウエットスーツをレンタルする場所で使い捨ての水中カメラを購入することができましたが、今回はそのような店舗に寄ることはなかったので、使い捨ての水中カメラを使用されたい場合は、事前にABCストアなどで購入して参加すると良いかと思います。ただこのツアーでは、カメラマンのマイケルが、参加者全員の写真をまんべんなくたくさん撮ってくれており、またイルカやウミガメの写真もとてもキレイに撮影されており、十分でした。写真を撮ることよりシュノーケルに集中できるので、このツアーに参加される場合はカメラは不要かなと思います。
タカオさん、アリサさん、マイケルさん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました！！

We took our 10-month-old baby along for the adventure. They provided life jackets for babies, which made us feel safe while boarding. I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...

The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.

０歳１０ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が１２０cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。

The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.

サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

I was wondering if it would be okay since it was small, but when I asked the person, they were excitedly saying, "I want to swim with dolphins♪," so we decided to give it a try.

As expected, when it was time to enter the pool, they had a face full of anxiety. We calmed them down and started the program. Although they were scared at first, it seems they ultimately had fun, and all's well that ends well! (laughs)

If it were an elementary school student, they might have enjoyed it a bit more. But it was a valuable experience, and I'm glad we did it.

小さいので大丈夫かな？と思っていましたが本人に聞いてみると『イルカと一緒に泳ぐ♪』とルンルンだったので…試しに行ってみることに
案の定いざプールに入る時になると不安で一杯の顔。なだめつつプログラムスタート。最初は怖がっていたものの最終的には楽しかったようで、終わりよければ全て良し！(笑)
小学生ぐらいならもう少し楽しめたかも知れませんね
でも貴重な体験が出来良かったです

Pick up at the hotel before sunrise. The brightness inside the private bus was enough to shake off any sleepiness. It was a windy day, but we encountered dolphins twice. We also saw turtles and rays. Although I came to see the dolphins, the impression of the staff left a stronger mark on me. It was a fun tour.

日が昇る前にホテルでピックアップ。専用バスの中は眠気もぶっ飛ぶ明るさバシバシ。その日は風も強かったですが、イルカ達に2度も出会えました。また、亀やエイなども。イルカに会いに来たのにスタッフの印象の方が強く残っています。楽しいツアーでした。

On the day of the event, the weather was somewhat unstable, with a mix of clouds and sunshine, and it felt a bit chilly. Since it was the afternoon, the sandbar was deeper than expected, and the water level was high enough that women could barely keep their faces above water. We did see sea turtles, but snorkeling was interrupted due to a massive jellyfish bloom, causing nearly half of the participants to get stung and panic ensued, leading to a halt after about ten minutes. Since we are dealing with nature, such situations are somewhat unavoidable, but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to snorkeling. The staff's response was very good, so I would like to try again if the opportunity arises.

当日は天候がやや不安定で曇ったり、晴れたりと微妙な天候で、やや寒い思いをしました。
サンドバー自体も午後の時間帯であったので、思ったよりも深く、女性は顔が出るのが精一杯まで水位が高かったです。
海ガメは見れましたが、シュノーケリングはクラゲが大量発生し、参加者の半数近くが刺されてパニック状況になり、10分程度で中断となってしまいました。
自然が相手なので、ある程度こういうケースもあるのは致し方無い事ですが、シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
スタッフの方の対応はとても良かったので、また機会があったらチャレンジしたいです。

The Japanese guide starts at 10 AM.
You board the boat from the HGVC pier and head out to the submarine.
It's a 10-minute cruise, but you can see Waikiki from the ocean side, which is quite nice.

We dive to a depth of 100 feet, so you can see a lot of fish.
There are efforts made to attract the fish, and there was even a quite large turtle.

My 83-year-old mother also enjoyed it very much.
I think it's very worthwhile.

日本語ガイドは朝10時から開始です。
HGVCの桟橋からボートに乗って沖に出てサブマリンに乗船します。
10分ほどのクルーズですがワイキキを海側から見る事ができて
こちらもなかなかです。

深度100Fまで潜水しますので、かなり多くのお魚を見る事ができます。
魚を集める工夫がされており、かなり大きなカメまでいました。

83歳の母もとても楽しんでいました。
とても価値があると思います。

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

Great food, great service, friendly and attentive staff. The show was awesome would love to do it again when we come back in 2019!!

When we arrived at the sandbar, it started to rain, and we couldn't see the sandbar in its original form. However, compared to the surrounding sea, the color was clearly different and very beautiful.

サンドバーに着くと雨が降り出し、本来のサンドバーの姿を見ることが出来ませんでした。ただ、周りの海と比べて、明らかに色が異なりすごく綺麗でした。
