All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was fun.
The snorkeling was murkier than I expected, and it was hard to see the fish, but that's due to the weather, so it can't be helped.
The sand beach only appears during low tide, so outside of that time, it's shallow, but it was still plenty enjoyable!
I think it would be amazing even if it's shallow when the weather is nice.

Later, I thought that the price of 10 for a photo that can be purchased was a bit high, so I gave it 4 stars.

楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは、思っていたより水が濁っていて、お魚が見えにくかったけど、天候のせいなので、仕方ない。
干潮の時しか砂浜が出ないので、その時間以外は浅瀬ですが、楽しさは、充分です！
晴れていたら、浅瀬だろうと最高だと思います。

後日、購入出来る写真が1枚10がちょっと高いなと思ったので、星4つにしました

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

The cold soup for the course and the main steak were delicious, but the pasta was just okay. The service was good. They provided frequent service, such as refilling the bread and offering wine. Since there was a line, making a reservation at VELTRA was helpful.

コースの冷たいスープ、メインのステーキは美味しかったが、パスタは今一つ。サービスは良かった。パンのお替りやワインの提供など細目にサービスしてくれた。行列ができていたので、ＶＥＬＴＲＡでの予約は役に立った。

The glass bottom boat was a great experience that didnt break the bank. The tour guides were friendly, casual, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended for a chill day out on the water.

We had your stunning leis delivered as a surprise to our son and Daughter-in-law at Honolulu Airport. Beautiful! Great surprise! Thank you so much. We will certainly use your company again!!

The tour is very educational. We enjoyed it very much. Larry, our bus driver, made it exciting and entertaining. So I'd like to thank them for a great time!

Our tour guide was awesome - very informative and entertaining tour. Pearl harbor was amazing, our only disappointment was that the navy wouldn't let us onto the Arizona memorial due to "high winds".
Highly recommended tour!

My wife and I recently moved to the island and chose this cruise as our first adventure here. The crew is great and extremely knowledgable and they make you feel comfortable on board. They took us on a solid tour up and down Waikiki beach. Amazing view and perfect weather. The bartender was awesome and made some great drinks. The prices were reasonable, especially considering what drinks cost in the Waikiki area. Buy the souvenir mug if you're looking for a deal. They can make you 16oz cocktails for the same price as the little drinks. If you're looking for a couple hours on the water and a few awesome drinks, this is the cruise for you.

We participated in creating family memories for my daughter's 10th birthday present. The morning pickup point was somewhat scattered, and our house was about a 7 to 10-minute walk away. The bus was comfortable, and the explanations from the Japanese instructor were very easy to understand, which was great. There were 45 participants that day, and since it was during summer vacation, there were 12 children under 12 years old.

When we arrived at the port, we quickly spotted dolphins on the stable Tamakalan boat, but perhaps because of the large size of the boat, we couldn't get close to the dolphins. Maybe the smaller Dolphin Junior boat is more maneuverable? We tried to enter the water ahead of the direction the dolphins were swimming, but since 45 people splashed in at once, the dolphins swam away, and we desperately swam towards them. During the first entry, I was able to catch a glimpse of them by closely following the instructor, but it was only for about 10 seconds. That day, instead of the usual two entries, we made three, but in the end, my daughter and husband couldn't see any dolphins... It turned into a disappointing memory.

However, the accompanying photographer was very cheerful and lively, which made it a lot of fun, but the photos he took cost $60 per group. We ended up spending quite a bit. Because we made three entries, we didn't have time for snorkeling, and we couldn't do any marine activities. I think our satisfaction would have been much higher if we had encountered the dolphins, so it's very disappointing.

For our family of four, including the photo costs, it came to 60,000 yen. I was aware that there was a possibility of not seeing them since they are wild animals, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see them in the water even though we could confirm they were so close.

娘の１０歳お誕生日プレゼントとして家族の思い出作りに参加しました。
朝のピックアップポイントはざっくりと分かれており、我が家は徒歩７〜１０分歩いたところでした。バスは快適で、日本人インストラクターの方の説明がとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。この日は４５名の参加があり、夏休み中ということもあり１２歳以下の子供が１２人参加。
港に着くと、揺れの少ないタマカランボートに乗ってイルカはすぐに見つかりましたが、大きいボートのせいかなかなかイルカに近づけず。イルカ中学のボートのほうが小回りが利くのでしょうか？イルカが泳いでくる方向に先回りしてエントリーしましたが、４５人がバシャバシャ飛び込んだせいか、イルカが離れていってしまい、イルカのほうまで必死に泳ぎました。１回目のエントリーではインストラクターの後をすぐについていったのでちらっと見ることができましたが１０秒程度。この日、通常２回のところ、３回エントリーしましたが、結局、娘と夫はイルカを見ることができず。。。しょっぱい思い出作りになりました。
ただ同行していたカメラマンの方がとても陽気で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったのですが、撮ってくれた写真は１グループ６０＄。すっかり散財してしまいました。
３回エントリーしたことで、スノーケリングの時間もなくなり、マリンアクティビティもできずじまい。イルカと遭遇できていたら満足度が高かったと思うのですが、とても残念です。
家族４人で写真代をいれて６万円。自然のものなので会えない可能性があるのは承知の上でしたが、すぐそばに確認できたのに海の中で見られなかったことがとても残念でした。

I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.

旅行ギリで旅行会社へ手配依頼をするともう遅すぎると断られ、残念におもっていると知り合いからベルトラの紹介をお受け申し込み滑り込みセーフ。現地では、ホテル近くの集合場所へ行きました。沢山のツアー集客場でドキドキしながらまっているとバスに天使の海の看板を発見。名前を確認しいざ船乗り場へ。船に乗りサンドビーチに到着。沢山の日本人と一緒スノーケリング。1時間泳ぎ亀を見にクルージング 沢山の亀達に遭遇できました。最後は、足ヒレやライフジャケットと着込んで6歳、10歳、12歳の子供たちとサンゴ周辺のスノーケリングを体験。熱帯の魚達を見ることができました。バーベキューで焼いてくれたハンバーガーも肉圧がすごく食べごたえ十分。楽しいひと時を過ごせました。また、行きたい

The driver Patrick was nice and the tour in the city interesting. At pearl Harbor we were very disapointed cause the boat could not let us go on the arizona monument due to the wind !! That was our purpose to see it and the deception was high..

This excursion was one to definitely be remembered! A fun day is in store from the moment you leave the marina. The crew is full of fun people that are always making sure their guests are having a great time. The sandbar stop was fun filled with Hawaiian volleyball with the crew and other guests onboard. The lunch that was served before the reef snorkel was also great. At the private reef we saw a monk seal and also a ton of turtles and fish. We would love to do this trip again!

The instructor's enthusiasm to show everyone the dolphins was incredible, and they extended the time to chase the dolphins, allowing us to see them multiple times. The most touching moment was when three dolphins swam right beneath us! ♪ Because of the extension, the snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) we had planned later were combined into one activity, so my husband chose SUP while I chose snorkeling. I was able to enjoy cheering for my husband on the surface while snorkeling. Since these are wild dolphins, we can't always swim with them, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.＾＾

参加者のみんなにイルカを見せようというインストラクターさんの熱意がすごくて、イルカを追う時間を延長して何度も見せてくれました。
丁度自分たちの真下を３匹のイルカが泳いで行った時が一番近くて感動しました♪
その延長のために、後に計画していたシュノーケリングとサップの時間が一緒になり、どちらかひとつの参加となりましたが、夫はサップを、私はシュノーケリングを選び、シュノーケリングの傍らサップしてる夫を水面から応援して楽しむことが出来ました。
野生のイルカなので、常に一緒に泳げるわけではありませんが、十分に楽しいツアーでした。＾＾

The pickup bus did not arrive on time, and we had to wait quite a while. The bodyboarding lesson and lunch took up a lot of time, leaving us with little opportunity to enjoy the attractions freely. Honestly, the BBQ lunch wasn't extravagant, and we could have just bought hamburgers and hot dogs on-site. The pool is open until 5 PM, but the return bus gathering was at 3 PM. I think it would be better to go by rental car next time.

迎えのバスが時間通りに来ず、だいぶ待たされました。
ボディボードレッスン、ランチに時間を取られてしまって、自由にアトラクションを楽しむ時間が少なかった。
ＢＢＱランチは正直豪華な訳でもなく、ハンバーガーやホットドッグを現地で買っても良かった。
プールの営業は１７時迄なのに帰りのバス集合は１５時。
次回行くならレンタカーで行った方が良いと思いました。

My first trip to Hawaii. And it was a solo journey. I was able to swim together during two out of three dives! After that, I enjoyed marine sports and went snorkeling again. I wish I had taken motion sickness medication. The staff were bright, reliable, and made me feel safe!

初のハワイ。そして一人旅。3回のダイブで2回一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました‼︎その後はマリンスポーツで楽しんだりまたシュノーケリングしたりと満喫できます。酔い止め飲んでいれば良かったです。スタッフの皆さん明るく頼もしく安心でした‼︎

It's a park that both children and adults can enjoy. The BBQ lunch was in a buffet style, where you take pre-cooked items rather than grilling them yourself, which was different from what I had imagined. There weren't many options, so I would rate it a minus one. However, the area where you purchase food was quite crowded, so if I go again, I think I would choose a lunch option.

子供も大人も楽しめるパークです。BBQランチは、想像していたBBQとは異なり焼くのではなく、出来上がっているものをとるビュッフェ形式でした。あまり種類もなくマイナス１。ただし、食事を購入するところはかなり混雑していたので、次回行くとしてもランチ付きを選ぶと思います。

You should definitely sign up for this tour! The ocean is beautiful, and the tour content is very satisfying. There were families with children, so it's enjoyable for everyone.

このツアーは絶対申し込んだ方がいいです！
海はきれいだし、ツアー内容も大満足です。子供連れもいたので家族で楽しめます

The guide on the way to Angel's Sea was really entertaining. He seemed like a local character and was good at playing the guitar (singing "bye-bye WAIKIKI♪ bye-bye ABC MART♪"). It was a playful jab at the fact that you can't walk around Waikiki without running into an ABC Mart, but there were none on this tour. The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers, fries, and pink grapefruit juice on the boat. The taste was decent. Whether Angel's Sea is beautiful depends on the weather. During the sea turtle watch, we were taken to a spot with a high sighting rate, and we actually saw some! I think the cost performance is better than going on our own!

天使の海の道中のおっちゃん（ガイドさん）が面白かったです。名物おじさんのようで、ギターも上手でした（「bye-bye　WAIKIKI～♪bye-bye　ABC MART～♪」）（笑：ワイキキにワイキキでは歩けばABCマートにあたる、でしたが、このツアー野行く先には一つもないことを揶揄したもの）BBQランチは、船上でのハンバーガーとポテトとピンクグレープフルーツジュースでした。味はそこそこ。天使の海がきれいかどうかはお天気次第です。ウミガメウオッチでは、出没率が高いとこ炉に連れて行ってもらえ、実際、見られました！自分たちで行くより、コスパは高いと思われます◎！

A ladder was lowered from the boat, and we walked towards the sandbar. On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my waist even in shallow areas, so I carried my child into the sea. Since it was my child's first time at the ocean, they were a bit confused at first, but after a while, they started to enjoy it. The boat was anchored near the sandbar, so we could take breaks whenever we liked.

I’m sorry to say that the light snack sandwiches were not tasty, and I ended up leaving them. The bread tasted a bit sour. My friend who came with me also left theirs.

船からハシゴが下りて、歩いてサンドバーに向かいます。ツアーに参加した日は、浅いところでも腰くらいまで水位があったため、子供は抱っこして海に入りました。子供は初めての海だったため、最初は戸惑っていましたが、しばらくすると楽しんでいました。船はサンドバーの近くに停泊してくれているので、休憩などは好きなタイミングで行えました。

軽食のサンドイッチは申し訳ないですが、美味しくなくて残してしまいました。なんだかパンが酸っぱかったです。一緒に行った友人も残していました。

We had an amazing time and got to see a rare monk seal while having lunch in the boat. Crew was extremely friendly and even shared some great tips on places to visit.

I participated with my mother and aunt. Since it was the day before Independence Day, it was very quiet. We were able to enjoy a graceful cruise. The windows weren't very clean, so the view from inside the boat wasn't great, but it felt really nice when we went outside.

母と叔母と3人で参加しました。独立記念日の前日だったのでとても空いてました。優雅な感じでクルージングが出来ました。窓ガラスがあまり綺麗じゃなかったので船内からの景色はいまいち、でも外に出たらとても気持ち良かったです。

It's very spacious and you can enjoy it all day long. However, I had to wait quite a bit because the pickup time was more than 30 minutes late. Since bringing any food or drinks into the park is prohibited, there were people whose water bottles were confiscated.

とても広くて一日中楽しめる。
ただ、ピックアップ時間を30分以上遅れて来たため、だいぶ待ちぼうけをした。
パーク内は全ての飲食物の持ち込みが禁止のため、水筒ごと没収されてる人達もいました。

I signed up for a submarine tour since my friend couldn't go diving! It was really fun to see sea turtles and rays. Also, since the commentary was in Japanese during the time I booked, there were many Japanese people, and we didn't have any issues with manners. The person giving the commentary was also entertaining!

If I had to mention one thing, I chose the bus transfer from the hotel, but I noticed that one of the staff members, who I think was probably a part-timer, was chatting a lot with another staff member, which caught my attention. I thought, "Well, this is a foreign country, so maybe it's normal," but it was a little concerning. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

友達がダイビング出来ないため潜水艦ならと思い申し込みしました！ウミガメやエイなども見ることができとても楽しかったです。また、申し込んだ時間帯は日本語での解説だったため日本人も多くマナー等で困ることはありませんでした。解説してる人も面白かったです！
ただ一つ言うならばホテルからバスの送迎付きにしたのですが、スタッフの方が多分バイトの子だと思うのですが違うスタッフとお喋りばかりしていたのが気になりました。外国だしこんなもんかなーとは思いましたが、少し気になりました。それ以外はとても満足しました！

I traveled to Hawaii with my family for my wedding. The sandbar was different from what I expected due to high tide, but I was very satisfied with snorkeling and swimming with sea turtles. We had plenty of time to enjoy our stay. I would definitely like to use this opportunity again if I get the chance!＼(^^)／

自身の結婚式の為、家族とハワイ旅行です。
サンドバーは満潮で思っていた様子と違いましたが、シュノーケリングをやったり海亀と泳いだり大満足です。滞在時間もしっかりありました。
また機会があれば是非利用したいです＼(^^)／

I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.

I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)

It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.

日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました！ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。

子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。（夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑）

小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです！波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。

We went on a hot day on our honeymoon. It was very interesting to hear about the history

I've been going to this pool with my kids for three years. In Japan, you would have to wait in a long line, but here the wait time isn't that long, and I think the slides are more thrilling than those in Japan. However, it was disappointing that the pickup time was more than 30 minutes late, which reduced our time there. I thought that if the return time were a bit later, we could have enjoyed it even more.

3年前から子供達と行ってるプール。日本だと長蛇の列だけどここはそこまでの待ち時間ではなくスライダーもここまでの迫力は日本にはないと思います。ただピックアップの時間が30分以上遅れてだったので滞在時間が少なくなってしまったのが残念でした。帰りもその分か、もしくは元々もう少し遅いともっと満喫出来るのに…と思いました。

I participated with my child to try to kiss a dolphin. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and it was so smooth and pleasant. During the waiting time, I felt lucky to be able to watch the show up close, seeing them play with balls and jump around. Not only did we get to kiss and shake hands, but at the end, the dolphin splashed us with its tail, which was fun (laughs). The trainer only spoke English, so I didn't understand anything, but we managed somehow (laughs). Other than that, we had to wait a bit long for the bus back, but we had a great time.

イルカさんとキスをしようと、子供と2人で参加してきました。
初めてのイルカさんにタッチでしたがすごくスベスベで気持ちよく、待ち時間もショーを間近で見ているかのようにボールで遊んだり飛んだりしてるところを見られて得した気分を味わえました。
キスと握手だけでなく、最後にはイルカさんに尾びれで水をぶっかけられて楽しいですよ(笑)
トレーナーの方は英語オンリーだったので何言ってるのか全く分かりませんでしたが何とかなりました(笑)
それ以外は帰りのバスまでちょっと時間が長く待ちくたびれてしまいましたが、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was fun, but I’m not sure if it was because of summer vacation or an accident, but we got stuck in traffic on the way there, and by the time we arrived, the beach chairs were already taken (we did manage to get a seat in front of the food court). It was really disappointing that our stay was so short. I expected the park to be crowded, so that was understandable, but I think it would have been much more enjoyable during the off-season. We also had to wait for the return bus because some people didn’t arrive on time, so overall, the tour left me with the impression of just waiting.

楽しかったですが、夏休みだからか事故なのか分かりませんが、行きの道中渋滞にはまり着いた頃にはオープン後でビーチチェアーも確保できず(フードコート前の席は取れましたが)滞在時間が短くなってしまったのがとても残念でした。園内が混み混みなのは予想範囲内でしたので仕方がないですが、きっとオフシーズンだともっと楽しかっただろうなと思います。帰りのバスも時間に来ない方がいらっしゃって待たされ、全体的に待ち時間ばかりが印象に残るツアーになってしまいました。

I had a very enjoyable day. Here’s a summary of my experiences:

****** Meeting Point ******
- Gather in front of the three flags at the Ilikai Hotel.
- There were many Japanese people around at the meeting time.
- The bus driver (a foreigner) was taking attendance.
- Before boarding, we each received wristbands according to our plans.
- The bus was cold. It's better to choose a seat where the overhead vent is not broken, as the vent was blocked and couldn't be closed.
- Arrived 30 minutes before the opening. It’s a good idea to eat breakfast during that time. You can also eat while the bus is driving.

****** Entrance ******
- It's better to line up early to secure a large locker.
- While waiting in line, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen.
- Food and drinks cannot be brought in. There will be a check.
- Dash to secure a locker as soon as the venue opens!!
- Lockers are selected via a touch panel. Choose large or small based on the order, and insert your credit card.
Note: It takes time for the credit card to be recognized after insertion. Once you register your PIN, you will be assigned a locker number.

****** Attractions ******
- It's best to do everything you want to do first thing in the morning.
- Weekdays are recommended. You can ride without waiting in line.
- Flip-flops are essential. You can take them off at the entrance, but it’s fine to just stick your arm through the thong part when riding. In fact, if you take them off, you might regret it.

****** Food and Drink ******
- It's expensive, but not enough to justify an all-you-can-drink or all-you-can-eat option. It would be a waste of time.
- Definitely recommend using a credit card.

That’s all. Hope this helps!
