All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We went on the afternoon cruise and had a great time. Staff were excellent.

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

Had so much fun, felt safe and loved being serenaded... definitely will go again and on a weekend when adult beverages are permitted : )

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the boat was very beautiful. As the boat moved, the shape of Diamond Head changed, allowing us to see various perspectives of it. There were only about 15 participants that day, so we were able to relax comfortably. It was the best experience to enjoy sparkling wine while feeling the pleasant sea breeze!

船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチがとてもきれいでした。
船の進行によってダイヤモンドヘッドの形が変わり、いろいろなダイヤモンドヘッドを見られました。
その日の参加者が15名程度で少なかったのでゆったりとくつろげました。
気持ち良い海風を受けながらスパークリングワインが飲めて最高でした！！

We were blessed with beautiful weather and had the chance to see many dolphins. We were also very satisfied to see a sea turtle right in front of us. I participated with my two elementary school children, and the staff were kind and made it enjoyable for us.

晴天に恵まれて、たくさんのイルカと出会えました。また、すぐ目の前でウミガメも見られて大変満足しました。小学生の子供2人と一緒に参加しましたが、スタッフさんも優しく接してくれて楽しんだようでした。

I booked the standard package and went by rental car, but there was a huge crowd at the entrance, and it took a long time. It might be better to arrive early. However, once inside, I was very satisfied.

スタンダードパッケージを予約してレンタカーで行きましたが、
入場するのに大混雑で時間かかりました。
早めに行ったほうがよいかも。
でも入場後は大満足でした。

Very fun and friendly crew. Had a great time. Would do it over again

Unfortunately, it seems that the whales went towards Canada, so we couldn't go whale watching. I'm disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use the tickets before they expire! I'll try again next year.

あいにくクジラたちはカナダの方へ行ったようでホエールウオッチングは叶いませんでした。
頂いたチケット期限に使えそうもなく残念！！又来年トライします。

I attended with my elementary school son. The wave pool had higher waves than those in Japanese pools, which was enjoyable. There were few customers, so we only had to wait a few minutes for lockers and lunch, making everything smooth.

小学生の息子と参加しました。
波のプールが日本のプールより波が高く愉しかったです。お客さんも少なくロッカーや昼食も数分並ぶ程度でスムーズでした。

I decided to participate to excite my elementary school son, but my wife and I ended up being the ones who were excited. Since we had no experience with scuba diving, it was a lot of fun to dive into the ocean. Additionally, the guide had a great sense of humor, so I'm glad we joined. I highly recommend this for families!

小学生の息子を興奮させてみようと思い参加しましたが、私と妻の方が興奮してしまいました。スキューバなど未経験だったので、海に潜るというのが愉しかったです。
また、案内の人もユーモアだったので参加してよかったです。家族で参加にお薦めです!

I made a reservation in advance in Japan to stay at the Kahala Hotel. I am overwhelmed with joy that my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins has come true. It was a genuine interaction, not just the typical experience of touching dolphins that you often find in Japan. We participated as a couple, but it seemed that families in the same group were also enjoying themselves.

If I had to mention a downside, I was a bit concerned about the water's cleanliness. It might be due to the dolphins' waste, which is understandable... Since it's not a fish tank, it might be difficult to purify the lagoon. Also, I feel that the price is a bit too high.

I definitely recommend it to anyone staying at the Kahala.

カハラホテルに宿泊の為、事前に日本で予約しました。
長年夢見てきたドルフィンスイムが叶い感無量です。
日本国内でよくあるイルカに触れる程度ではない本当の触れ合いが楽しめました。
我々はカップルでの参加でしたが、同じグループの親子も楽しんで居られた様です。
あえてマイナスポイントを書くとしたら、
水の汚れがやや気になりました。イルカの排泄物だから仕方ないかもしれませんが・・・
生け簀ではないラグーンなので浄化が難しいのかな？
あと、少し料金が高すぎな気もします。

カハラにお泊りの方には絶対おすすめだと思います。

We participated as a family!

We decided on the day whether to rent wetsuits. (I think it was around $10 for the kids...)

I was told that there might be jellyfish and it could get cold, so we rented wetsuits only for the kids.

Most of the other customers rented wetsuits as well.

In August, I, as an adult, was fine with just a swimsuit and was okay being bare-chested.

As soon as we spotted dolphins in the wild, we jumped off the boat one by one!

However...

During our last jump, all we could see underwater were the feet and bubbles of the participants who jumped in before us.

Those who jumped in earlier seemed to see something in the water, but...

With limited time, we only had two chances to see the dolphins.

Both times, we caught a glimpse of the dolphins from the boat, but we couldn't see them at all underwater.

The staff cheerfully said something like, "We got to be with the dolphins today!"

But we couldn't see them underwater.

The image of swimming with dolphins is only partially true, so don't get your hopes up.

However, we were excited to see sea turtles up close in the water.

For those whose main goal is to see dolphins, since we are going to see wild dolphins, we can't guarantee you'll see them underwater, but the sea is beautiful, so it's fun!

家族で参加しました！

The sea was beautiful, and I was quite satisfied to see some small sea turtles. Although it was the end of August, I felt cold after getting out of the water, and I was told to board the bus while still in my wet swimsuit, so I recommend bringing extra towels and a jacket.

海も綺麗で、小さくですがウミガメも見えてかなり満足でした。8月終わりでしたが海から上がったあとは体が冷えて寒く、帰りのバスも濡れた水着のままで乗車してくださいとのことだったので、タオルや上着を多めに持っていくことをおすすめします。

Crew amazing. Sailing was an awesome time. Appetizers too! Who could possibly complain!

I only saw a dolphin for a moment, and I didn't get to meet any turtles at the snorkeling spot... what a shame! I guess it's just the nature of dealing with wild animals. I'll try again for a revenge trip! I'm grateful for the cheerful staff and their thoughtfulness♪

イルカは一瞬みれただけ、シュノーケルスポットはカメに会えず…残念！野生の生き物相手なのでしょうがない。またリベンジします！ スタッフの皆様の陽気と心づかいに感謝です♪

I was scheduled for a 9:10 pickup, but I overslept and woke up at 10:00... I hurriedly contacted them, and they quickly changed the time for me. The crew members were all fun people, and we encountered various creatures like turtles, sharks, and rays in the ocean. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they all shouted, "The submarine!" (^_^)

What started as a panic turned into a very enjoyable memory! I appreciate the kind assistance.

9:10ピックアップの予定が、二度寝して10:00…
焦って連絡を入れたところ、すぐに別の時間へ変更してもらえました。
乗員の方々も楽しい人ばかりで、海中ではカメやサメ、エイなど色々な生き物に出会えました。子供たちも、ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？と聞くと、潜水艦！と声を揃えていいます(^_^)

焦りから一転、とても楽しい思い出になりました！
親切な対応、感謝いたします。

I participated for the first time. The weather was great, and it was a wonderful tour that left me very satisfied. The guide's entertaining talk was also one of the highlights. It became a great memory.

初めて参加しました。お天気にも恵まれとても素敵なツアーで大満足でした。ガイドさんの楽しいトークも楽しみのひとつです。良い思い出になりました。

This was my second time using the service. It seemed that the participant list was not organized, which caused a delay in departing from the meeting point. Additionally, the roads were congested, resulting in an arrival that was about an hour late. They mentioned that the return time would be delayed by an hour, which unfortunately affected my plans afterward.

二回目の利用でした。参加者名簿が整っていなかったのか、集合場所からの出発に時間がかかり、さらに道が混雑していたようで到着が約１時間ほど遅れ、、帰りの時間を１時間遅らせるとのことで･･･そのあとの予定に響いてしまったのが残念でした

I went with my three-year-old and one-year-old grandchildren, along with six others.
The children's ticket prices being the same as adults felt very expensive.
For those who have seen shows in Japan, the performance level is quite low.
It's also disappointing that you can't take photos while touching the animals.
What was fun was the area where you can play with the birds.

３歳と１歳の孫と６人で行って来ました。
子供料金が大人と同じなのは、すごく高く感じました。
ショーは日本のを見ている人には、とても芸が低いです。
触っているのを写真が撮れないのも残念です。
楽しかったのは、鳥と遊べるところです。

This time, it may have been a coincidence, but the guide was a Japanese resident of Hawaii or someone of mixed Japanese heritage, so communication in Japanese was naturally easy. I felt very comfortable enjoying the experience with information and casual conversations unique to living in Hawaii. Since all the staff were mothers, it was also reassuring for those with children, and there were many pleasant moments thanks to their thoughtful care. I definitely want to go again, perhaps during low tide. I look forward to it!

今回はたまたま、かも知れませんがガイドさんが
みんなハワイ在住の日本人または日本人とのハーフの方たちで、日本語は当然通じるし、ハワイ在住ならではの情報や世間話しなど、とても安心して楽しめました。全スタッフさんがママさんだったので、
子供連れでも安心で、ママさんならではの気遣いなど、うれしい場面が多かったですね。
ぜひまた、干潮の時にでも、行きたいと思いました。その際はよろしくお願いします。

I was able to properly meet the dolphins. The guide was very powerful and led us right to where the dolphins were. My daughter participated as well and managed to keep up. It’s quite hard, so I think it would be tough if you don’t get a good night's sleep the night before.

イルカにきちんと会えました。
ガイドさんがとってもパワフルで、しっかりイルカのいるところへ導いてくれました。
娘も参加して、なんとかついていけました。
結構ハードなので、前日しっかり睡眠とらないと大変だと思います。

I had a great time when I went before, so it's so much fun that I participate regularly when I go to Hawaii! It's very spacious and has a lot to offer, so unlike in Japan, you can enjoy the attractions without waiting in long lines!

以前も行って楽しかったので、ハワイ行く時は定番で参加するぐらい楽しいです！
とても広く色々あるので、日本と違ってあまり並ばずにアトラクションが楽しめます！

I was really glad to see dolphins up close. It was considerate of them to continue until everyone could see, especially for those who missed out. The crew was also very lively and it was a lot of fun.

イルカが間近で見られて本当に良かったです。
見られなかった人がいたら全員見れるまでずっと続けてくれるので良心的でした。
クルーの方々もノリノリで楽しかったです。

I was imagining more sandy beaches, but the sea was beautiful, the weather was nice, and the young staff members were energetic and provided enjoyable explanations, which was great. I also enjoyed the freshly grilled hamburgers.

もっと砂浜を想像してたのですが、
海はきれいだし、天気もよく、若いスタッフの方々が、元気で、説明も楽しく、良かったです
焼きたてのハンバーグも美味しくいただきました。

After two years, we returned to Hawaii, and since it was my wife's birthday, we booked a dinner cruise. I requested a surprise cake, and with the help of the onboard staff, we were able to have a wonderful birthday party with the kids. Thank you very much.

2年ぶりのハワイ、ちょうど妻の誕生日だったので久しぶりにディナークルーズを申し込みました。サプライズでケーキをお願いし、乗船スタッフのご協力もあり、子供達と素晴らしい誕生日パーティが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

My stay at the Kahala Hotel was an early start with a 5 AM pickup, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful memory. The guide, Takao, provided a very clear and persuasive tour, which added a great "flavor" to the experience. As a snorkeling beginner in my fifties, I initially struggled to keep up with everyone in search of dolphins, but the support from the staff was very reassuring. Eventually, I got the hang of it and was able to meet the dolphins and sea turtles, which felt amazing. If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this tour.

カハラホテル滞在であり、5時ピックアップと早起きでしたが、大変素晴らしい思い出となりました。ガイドのＴＡＫＡＯさんの大変わかりやすく説得力のあるガイドもツアーのよき「味付け」となっていました。シュノーケリング初心者のアラフィフであり、最初はなかなか慣れずにイルカを求めてあっちこっちに皆さんについていくのが大変でしたが、スタッフのサポートもあり、大変心強かったです。そのうちに慣れてきてイルカさんやウミガメさんにも無事合えて、大変気持ちよかったです。またハワイに行けたら、必ず参加したいと思います。

Dissatisfaction points → You have to carry the thrill ride float up the stairs yourself. The restrooms and changing rooms are in the same location. Even though there are many food order windows, only about two are open, creating long lines. The all-you-can-eat plan has a very short operating time, only from 12:00 to 13:00. I thought the attractions themselves were somewhat interesting (the kids said they enjoyed it too), but I felt that there’s no need to take a bus for over an hour from Waikiki for the aforementioned reasons next time.

不満点→絶叫系のフロートを自ら抱えて階段を上がらなければならない。トイレと更衣室が同じところにある。食べ物注文窓口がいっぱいあるのに2か所くらいしか空いておらず長蛇の列が出来る。食べ放題プランでも窓口が12時から13時までのみの営業と営業時間が短すぎる。アトラクション自体はまあまま面白かったと思う（子供も面白かったといっている）が、前述のような点をわざわざワイキキから1時間以上もバスに揺られていく必要性は次からはないな、と思いました。

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.

The sandbar was only waist-deep, which was disappointing.
But I was able to see both turtles and manta rays!
The bus guide was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable tour.
I would like to participate again when I come back.
I hope to see the sandbar properly next time, though. (^^;)

サンドバーは腰までの位置だったので残念。
でもカメもマンタも見れました！
バスのガイドさんも陽気な人で、とても楽しいツアーでした。
また来たときは参加したいです。
出来ればちゃんとサンドバーが見たいですが(^^;)

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.

11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。
