All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was quite comfortable with little shaking. There were many people from overseas. The staff was very friendly. We could see a rainbow in a semicircle.

あまり揺れなくてかなり快適。
海外からの方々非常に多いです。
スタッフかなり親切でした。レインボーが半円でみれました。

We went with a 13-year-old, a 7-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 1-year-old.
There are many attractions that each of them can enjoy.
We visited on a Saturday, and there were a lot of locals.

The concession stand was a bit pricey, but we got 8 mini hamburgers, 4 drinks, and a large order of fries for just under $40.
I recommend it!

13歳、7歳、4歳、1歳でいきました。
それぞれが遊べるアトラクションが多数あります。
土曜日にいきましたが、地元の方々
非常に多かった。

売店は高めでしたがミニハンバーガー8個、ドリンク4つ、大山盛りポテトで40ドル弱
おすすめです！

First of all, I felt a great sense of reassurance when I saw the Japanese staff welcoming us. The explanations were all very thorough, covering how to use the snorkel, how to use the life jacket, and details about the dolphins we would see, which made me really excited before getting in the water. Thanks to the staff, we were able to see many dolphins and turtles! The staff were truly dedicated, guiding everyone with enthusiasm, saying things like, "There are dolphins here!" and we had a wonderful time.

However, there was one point that might have been due to my not reading all the details thoroughly: the photographer takes pictures of everyone throughout the experience! The photos, as shown, are really beautiful and I love them, but they are quite expensive... around 5,000 to 6,000 yen. I only heard about this for the first time on the bus after the shoot. Of course, purchasing is optional, but I think most people will want the photos taken together, so please keep the additional photo costs in mind.

That said, both the experience and the photos were fantastic, so I am very satisfied. Thank you to the friendly and warm staff! I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!

まずお出迎えから日本人スタッフさんがいたことでかなり安心感がありました。また説明はすべて丁寧で、シュノーケルの使い方、救命胴衣の使い方、見られるイルカの説明など入水前からかなりウキウキする内容でした。そして実際には、スタッフさんのおかげで沢山のイルカや亀を見ることができました！スタッフみなさん本当に一生懸命「ここにイルカがいるよ～！！」などとみんなを先導してくださり素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。ただ1点だけ、私が隅々まで説明を読んでいなかったからかもしれませんが、カメラマンさんが随時みんなの写真を撮ってくれます！写真も載せているようにとても素敵でかなり気に入っていますが、値段が高いです・・・５～６千円くらいです。これは撮影終わったバスのなかで初めて聞きました。もちろん購入は自由だそうですが、みんなで撮った写真はほとんどの人がほしくなると思いますので追加で写真代金も念頭においてください。
ですが内容も写真も最高だったので私は大満足です。フレンドリーで温かいスタッフさんありがとうございました！！またハワイに行く際には絶対参加します！

We participated as a family of four. Early in the morning, there are important safety briefings on the bus. The tour was packed with activities, including four opportunities to enter the water while searching for dolphins, snorkeling with sea turtles, and time to challenge ourselves with canoeing.

家族4人で参加。朝早くバス中も安全上大切な説明があります。イルカを探して4回の入水、海亀と一緒に泳いだシュノーケリングとカヌー挑戦の時間など、休むまもないほど中身の詰まったツアーでした。◎

If I could give advice to someone going for the first time, I would say:
- Since time is limited, wear your swimsuit on the way there. The bus can be cold, so bring a jacket.
- During lunchtime, the snack shop is extremely crowded. You will have to stand in line to place your order and then get in another line to pick it up. Try to have lunch either early or late.
- As the tour's return time approaches, more people will be changing, but there are only about six changing rooms. It’s not ideal to get on a cold bus without properly drying your hair or body, so it’s better to change early and have some time to browse the shops.

It's not a very large facility and can get crowded, but just being able to play in a pool in Hawaii is exciting. Considering that, I give it four stars.

もしこれから初めて行く人にアドバイスできるなら、
・時間に限りがあるので行きは水着着用で。バスは寒いので上着を羽織りましょう。
・昼食時、売店はめちゃ混みです。オーダーするために行列に並び、受け取るために隣の行列にまた並びます。昼食は早めか遅めに。
・ツアーの帰り時間近くになると着替える人たちが増えますが、更衣室は６室位しかないです。ろくに髪や体を乾かせないまま冷房の効いたバスに乗るのも良くないので、早めに着替えてショップをブラつく位の余裕を持った方がいいです。

そんなに大きな施設ではないし混んでますが、ハワイのプールで遊んでるってだけでテンション上がります。そこも含めて☆４つです。

On the day, it wasn't the time when the sandy beach was elevated, but we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. The photos taken from above the water looked very atmospheric. The way the island was reflected was also very nice. I wish it had been a bit sunnier, but it wasn't too hot, and I was very satisfied.

当日は砂浜が浮き上がっている時間帯ではありませんでいたが、十分に楽しむことができました。海の水の上から、自分たちを移した写真が大変雰囲気良く映ってくれました。島を爆気にした映り方も大変雰囲気が良かったものでした。できればもう少し晴れていてほしかったですが、暑くも無く、大変満足です。

I experienced the Dolphin Swim Adventure, which involves riding on a dolphin. It was about an hour-long experience where we received explanations and played with the dolphins. Including the time for changing after the attraction, you should expect it to take about an hour and a half.

There were Japanese staff members who provided some information in advance about where and when to meet, as well as safety instructions for the attraction. The instructors for the attraction themselves hardly spoke Japanese, but thanks to the prior explanations, there were no issues.

In this course, you hold onto the dolphin's dorsal fin and get pulled for a few meters, and then the dolphin goes belly down, and you hold onto its flippers for a few meters as it pulls you along. You also get to touch the dolphin's belly and give it a kiss. The kids were absolutely thrilled.

The Sea Life Park itself is small, so I think half a day is sufficient. Without the attractions, you might find yourself bored until the pick-up time.

ドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーを体験してきました。一匹のイルカに
乗るコースです。説明を受けたり、実際にイルカと遊んだりして、賞味一時間の体験でした。アトラクション後の着替えを含めると一時間半はかかると思ってください。
日本人スタッフの方がいて、事前に何時にどこに集合とか、アトラクションでの注意事項とか
ある程度説明してくれます。アトラクション自体のインストラクターは、日本語はほぼ話せません。（ただ事前説明のおかげで困ることはないです）
このコースはイルカの背びれにつかまって数メートル、イルカが腹ばいになって、両ひれに
つかまって数メートルイルカに引っ張ってもらいます。
そのほかイルカのおなかを触ったり、キスしたりします。
子供も大喜びでした。
シーライフパーク自体は狭いので、半日もあれば十分だと思います。
アトラクションがないと、送迎時間まで退屈してしまうかも知れません。

I was initially surprised by the facilities that made use of the terrain. There were plenty of slides, and my child and I enjoyed our time sliding down them repeatedly. We gathered for the return bus at 14:45, and the bus departed at 15:00, so I felt a bit busy as I started getting ready to leave and took a shower by 14:30.

地形をいかした施設に初めは驚きました。スライダーが豊富で、親子で何度も繰り返し並んで滑り、楽しい時間を過ごしました。14:45に帰りのバスに集合、15:00にバスが出発するので、14:30にはシャワーを浴びて帰りの支度を始めていたので、ちょっと忙しく感じました。

Watching the dolphins swim in a group, I could see the sand on the ocean floor clearly, and it was very beautiful. They also guided us to a spot where we could see sea turtles well, and the guide made sure to check in with each person to see if they could see everything, which I found impressive for the attention to detail in their service.

イルカが群れで泳ぐ姿を眺めると、海底の砂までよく見えて、とても綺麗でした。ウミガメもよく見えるスポットに案内してくださり、また、ガイドさんがひとりひとりにちゃんと見えたか声をかけていて、きめ細かなサービスに感心しました。

I had a great time. The bus was comfortable. However, there weren't enough lifeguards at the pool, and not all the slides were open the entire time. This might be typical in America... but it was still a very enjoyable day.

とても楽しかったです。
バスも快適でした。
ただ　プールの監視員の人数が足りておらず、全てのスライダー　ずっとは営業していませんでした。これがアメリカならでは・・・かもしれませんが。　でもとても楽しい一日でした。

We traveled with a 3-year-old child and my grandfather, so I made a reservation for some beach activities. The check-in was along the beach under the blazing sun... we arrived too early and the sunlight was intense! But the pier to the boat! My spirits were lifted!!

I was told to stay outside if I wanted to hear explanations in Japanese, and there was one Japanese crew member, so I felt reassured about the language barrier!

As soon as we set off, we saw small fish and even a sea turtle in the shallow waters, and the sea breeze was refreshing! It was a quick hour, but I was very satisfied.

However, since the time was short and we were on the boat, I thought alcohol might not be necessary. If there was an option for just soft drinks, I would have preferred that!

3歳前の子供と爺と３世代で旅行をしたので海遊びに予約しておきました。
受け付けは炎天下のビーチ沿いで・・・早く着きすぎて日差しが強かった～
でも、船までの桟橋！テンション回復！！
日本語で説明が聞きたい場合は中に入らず外にいて！っと声を掛けられ
クルーに日本人が１人いるので言葉の面でも安心！
出発してから、すぐの浅瀬で小魚がいたりウミガメが見えたり海風も爽やかっ！
あっという間の１時間でしたが大満足です

しかし、時間も短いし船の上ということからアルコールはいらないかも。
ソフトドリンクのみの料金がでるなら、そちらでもよかったと思いました☆彡

The weather was bad, but the sea was beautiful! We were able to see sea turtles, and even beginners could enjoy snorkeling. The driver was cheerful and could speak a little Japanese, which was great. (I gave a tip to the driver.)

天気は悪かったのですが、海は綺麗でした！
ウミガメも見ることができ、初心者でもシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
運転手の方も陽気な方で日本語も少しできるのでよかったです。
（運転手の方へチップは渡しました）

I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.

イルカに会えなかったけれども…
楽しめました。
私は、フラダンスを習っていた事もあり、船上でフラダンスを踊ってくれたのは、嬉しかったです。
イルカにを探している間、船上で楽しい時間を過ごせるよう、盛り上げてくれたのも良かったです。
海から上がり、濡れた身体で風を受けると、寒く震えている方もいましたのでウエットスーツを借りて良かったですが…少しキツかったので、長い時間船上で過ごしていると苦しかったです。もうひとサイズあげてもらえば良かったと…少し後悔。
誰か、船上にバナナを持ち込んでいたのかしら？
次回も、チャレンジして見ます。

The tour staff were very helpful in setting up the parasols. The kids were extremely excited. There are so many types of water slides that even parents can enjoy. For some reason, iced coffee was not available for sale.

ツアーの方が丁寧にパラソルの設定など協力してくださいました。子どもは、大興奮でした。とにかくウオータースライダーの種類が多く、親も楽しめます。食事は、なぜかアイスコーヒーが販売されていませんでした。

The initial itinerary mentioned, "You can enjoy snorkeling and experiential learning, and see the fish living in Hawaii's coral reefs!" However, there was absolutely no snorkeling involved. I had thought that I would be taught how to snorkel and see the coral reefs and fish before playing with the dolphins, so I was disappointed given the high price.

However, the trainer who explained everything was very nice and provided a fun explanation. Here are the details of what we did:

First, we received an explanation from the trainer about the precautions for playing with the dolphins and their characteristics. After that, we went to the beach and learned about sea turtle nesting. We were also taught about the types of marine mammals and fed lettuce to the sea turtles in the facility. Then, we were able to touch, kiss, and feed the dolphins.

While I was satisfied with the opportunity to play with the dolphins, I had expected snorkeling to be part of the experience. Therefore, I think it would be better not to include snorkeling in the itinerary details if that is not part of the activity.

当初の日程詳細では『シュノーケリングと体験学習、ハワイのサンゴ礁に住む魚たちを見ることができます！』とありましたが、シュノーケリングについては全くありませんでした。
私はシュノーケリングも教えてもらってサンゴ礁や魚を見たりしてからイルカと遊べるとのかと思っていたので、値段が高かっただけにがっかりしました。
しかし説明してくれた担当のトレーナーさんはとても良い方で楽しく説明してくれました。
私たちが行った事の詳細は。
まずトレーナーさんからイルカと遊ぶための注意点、イルカの特徴などの説明を受け、その後浜辺へ行き浜辺でウミガメの産卵について学びました。
そして海の哺乳類の種類について教えていただき、施設内にいるウミガメへレタスを餌付け。
そしてイルカを触ったり、キスしたり餌付けしたりできました。
イルカと遊べるという事だけなら満足ですが、シュノーケリングもあるものかと思っていたので、この内容なら日程詳細にシュノーケリングの記載はしない方がいいかと思います。

The facility was not as spacious as I had expected, and I didn't enjoy it much for the price.

First, the person who came to pick us up seemed to have a limited understanding of the booking details. We had requested a cabana as an option, but when we asked for confirmation, they told us to inquire on-site. Additionally, we weren't given detailed explanations; before getting on the bus, we were given colored tape for our wrists according to our course. However, our booked course was not mentioned, and the tape we received was a standard one that didn't indicate anything. Since we had unlimited soft drinks, we found it strange, but before entering the facility, we received a cabana reservation ticket from someone who seemed to be from the tour company, so we thought it would be fine to enter.

When lunchtime came, I looked for any signs indicating unlimited drinks but couldn't find any, and I couldn't locate anyone from the tour company. Eventually, about an hour before our departure, I found someone who seemed to be from the tour company and confirmed that we were on a course that didn't include anything. When I showed them a copy of the booking form, they finally acknowledged it was the company's mistake and changed the tape to a different color. However, even after they made it unlimited drinks, there was hardly any time left to enjoy it.

I wonder if there are people from the tour company stationed within the facility, and if so, where they are. I would like clearer signage. Also, it was difficult to distinguish between those who were simply working at the pool and those who were from the tour company; they all looked quite similar.

Considering all of this, it was quite an expensive tour. I don't think I will go again.

施設は思っていたより広くなく、料金の割にあまり楽しめなかった。
まず、お迎えに来た方が、申し込み内容をあまり理解していないようでした。
私たちは、カバナをオプションで申し込んでいたので、確認をしたがわからないので、
現地で聞いてくれと。また、詳しいことは説明されず、バスに乗る前にコーズごとに色分けされたテープを腕にまかれます。内容はバズの仲でコースごとに色分けの説明がテープでながれますが、私たちの申し込んだコースが案内されず、巻かれたテープは何もつかないスタンダードのものでした。私たちは、ソフトドリンク飲み放題でしたので変だなと思っておりましたが、施設に入場する前に、スアー会社らしき人からカバナの予約チケットをいただけたのでまずは良いかと、入場しました。
お昼になり、飲み放題の表示等がないか探したが見つからず、がツアー会社のひとも見当たらず結局帰る時間の1時間位前にツアー会社らしき人をみつけ確認したら、何もつかないコースになっているといわれ、申し込み用紙のコピーを見せて初めて会社のミスですとテープを別の色に巻き直してくれました。帰るマジかで飲み放題にしてもらってもほとんど飲む時間がありませんでした。
施設の仲に、ツアー会社の人が常駐しているのか、またいるのならどこに居るのか。表示を
きちんとしてほしです。また、単なるプールで働いている人なのか、ツアー会社のひとなのか
全く見分けがつかず、おぼしき人ばかりでした。

この事を含め、かなり高いツアーだったと。二回目はないとおもいます。

Nice day & nice organization from VELTRA on that one.
Good comments & knowledge, full day spent on the big island, nice spots and nice knowledge overall.

I made a last-minute reservation upon arriving in Hawaii, but the response was quick, and I was able to participate smoothly! The pick-up was also guided very politely, which was great. I joined the plan with unlimited soft drinks, and since it was quite hot, I was glad I chose that option. The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and there were attractions that you can't easily experience in Japan.

ハワイ現地に着いて急きょ予約しましたが、対応が早く、スムーズに参加できました！pick upも丁寧に案内してくれたので良かったです。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題のプランでさんかしましたが、かなり暑かったので飲み放題プランにして良かったです。プール施設内もとても楽しく日本ではなかなか体験できないアトラクションもありました。

The weather was nice, and I was looking forward to it, but for some reason, I couldn't see any dolphins. The staff seemed a bit disappointed too. However, all the staff were very kind, and since they spoke Japanese, I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

I will try again next time! Thank you!

お天気も良く、期待していましたが、なぜかイルカにあえませんでした。
スタッフの方も少しがっかりしてたようです。
でも、スタッフの方は、みんなやさしく、日本語も通じたので
安心してツアーに参加できました。

次回またチャレンジします！
ありがとうございました

I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Justin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It was fun, interesting and I enjoyed all the stops we went to, especially sunset beach. I highly recommend this tour.

Unlike diving, you can easily dive down to 30-40 meters and see the blue sea where sunlight doesn't reach. The sight of the submarine emerging from the ocean is breathtaking. The cruise is enjoyable and feels great, so I recommend it for families.

ダイビングと違って、気軽に30-40mまで潜れて、太陽に光の届かない青い海が見れました。潜水艦が海から飛び出してくるところは圧巻です。クルーズも楽しめて気持ちがいいので、家族連れにはおすすめです。

White sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea, welcoming turtles, and dolphins jumping next to the boat.
I was satisfied even before entering the water♪

The underwater world was beautiful, with sharks, turtles, and various fish.
I was very satisfied.

白い砂浜、透き通る海、出迎える亀、船の横でジャンプするイルカ
海にはいる前でも満足♪

海の中は綺麗で、サメや亀、いろんな魚がいました
大変満足

They were very considerate, and both the wallet and the service were gentle and comfortable.

However, the bus pickup was difficult as I wasn't called out, and the signs were hard to understand, making it challenging to find.

いろいろな配慮をしてくださり
お財布も対応も優しく快適でした

ただ、バスの迎えが声をかけてもらえず
印も分かりづらく探すのが大変でした

I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity. Excellent

I arranged for entrance tickets and cabana rental.
I drove to the location with a rental car.
The sunlight in July was strong, so having a cabana was great. There were several types of pools, suitable for everyone from babies to adults.
Outside food is not allowed, so I bought a pizza on-site. It costs about $25 for one, but it's large enough to share among several people.

入場券とカバナレンタルを手配。
現地まではレンタカーで行きました。
7月の日差しは強くカバナがあってよかったです。プールは何種類もあり、下は赤ちゃんから上は成人まで遊べるようになっていました。
食事は持ち込み禁止なので、現地でピザを購入。1枚$25ぐらいですが数人でシェアできる大きさです

It was well organized and everyone was very friendly. The singer Leilani was amazing she is a talented musician and told great stories. The food was better than expected. I would recommend to anyone.

I was able to see the underwater world of an unknown realm, and it was very moving. My mother, who is in her 80s, was also very happy. However, it seemed that the ladder to get down into the submarine was steep and scary, but the crew kindly supported us.

未知の世界の海底を観ることが出来、とっても感動しました。80代の母も大変喜んでいました。ただ、潜水艦に降りる時のハシゴが急で怖かったようですが、クルーの方が優しくサポートして下さいました

The pickup bus did not arrive even after 10 minutes, and just as I was inquiring by phone, it finally showed up. It was a larger bus than I expected, similar to a sightseeing bus. There was a sign in front, but it was a bit hard to read. Since the phone support was in English, those who only speak Japanese might feel a little worried if the bus doesn't arrive.

We arrived at 10:30, right when it opened. Since we had children and grandparents with us, we rented a cabana, which was very nice. The staff for lunch helped us purchase food, so we could eat without waiting in line, while the grandparents enjoyed watching their grandchildren. It’s a bit pricey, but I recommend the cabana for those with small babies or elderly family members.

My 5-year-old daughter played in the kids' area, while my 3rd-grade son was riding the slides non-stop. It was crowded on Saturday, but we waited about 30 to 40 minutes in line for the Ohana Highway in the morning (I think we lined up during the busiest time). The slide had a wait time of about 3 to 5 minutes. If possible, those riding the slides should wear non-slip sandals (water shoes). When you ride the slide, you have to take off your sandals while waiting, and the ground gets very hot on your feet. Those wearing water shoes were able to ride without taking them off.

お迎えのバスは１０分すぎてもこず、電話で問い合わせしている時に
ちょうどきました。
観光バスの大きさで、予想より大きいバスでした。
前にプレート出てましたが、少しわかりにくいです。
電話が英語の対応なので、日本語しかしゃべれない方はバスがこない場合少し心配です。

到着は10時半でオープンと同時でした。
子供たちとおばあちゃん、おじいちゃんもいたので
カバナを借りました。とてもよかったです。
お昼の係りの方が変わりに購入してくれて、並ぶことなくお昼も食べれて、
孫を眺めながら、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんは過ごしていました。
少し高いですが、小さな赤ちゃん、おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんがいる方は
カバナオススメです。

５歳の女の子はキッズエリアで、小３のお兄ちゃんはスライダーを乗りまくってました。
土曜日で人は多かったですが、オハナハイウェイを午前中に並んだら30～40分くらい並びました。(１番混んでた時間に並んだかな？)
すているスタイダーで、３分～５分くらいで乗れました。
できれば、スライダー乗る方は脱げないサンダル(マリンシューズ)履いた方がいいです。
スライダー乗るとき下でサンダルぬいで並ぶのですが、待ってる間が足の裏がとても熱いです。
マリンシューズの人はそのまま脱がずスライダー乗ってました。

Loved the trip, went back again 2 days later. Will do it again next time we visit the islands!

I participated in a monitor tour in July 2017, and to sum it up, it was definitely the right choice! The photos are small since they were taken from outside, but I actually got to dive and swim with dolphins, and I also encountered stingrays! The sea turtles were swimming slowly, so I got to play alongside them (ﾟωﾟ). This is something you can't do on your own, so I think that's the charm of the tour.

However, since you don't go out too far, if you're mainly thinking about coral and colorful fish, you might be a little disappointed. Also, depending on the weather, the visibility can sometimes be low. It seemed particularly beautiful on the day I went, but since this is nature, there's not much you can do about it.

The staff operating the tour were all very kind, and I truly believe that even those who are anxious about swimming can have a great time! I think this is a recommended activity for anyone considering a marine tour.

2017年の7月にモニターツアーとして参加しましが、結論から言うと大正解でした！
写真は外からなので小さいですが、実際に潜ってイルカと一緒に泳げましたし、エイにも会えました
！ウミガメはゆっくり泳いでたので、隣で一緒に遊泳しました(ﾟωﾟ)これは個人でできることではないので、ツアーの魅力かと思います

ただ、あまり沖に出ないので、サンゴとかカラフルなお魚をメインに考えてると、少しがっかりかもしれません。また、天気によっては透明度が低い時もあるみたいです。本日は特に綺麗だったみたいですが、こればかりは自然が相手なので仕方ないですけどね

当日大学を運営しているスタッフの方も親切な方ばかりで、泳ぎに不安のある方も本当に楽しめると思います！
マリンツアーを迷っている方にはオススメのアティビティだと思います
