All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We went to Sea Life Park just the two of us. My wife signed up for Dolphin Aloha (feeding and touching dolphins), and I participated as an observer only. I thought I would be able to watch the feeding, but since it takes place in an indoor pool, observers are not allowed in and I couldn't see it.

There were various shows in the park, but the outdoor dolphin show was particularly impressive and a highlight.

夫婦ふたりきりでシーライフパークへ行ってきました。妻はドルフィンアロハ（イルカの餌付けとタッチ）に申し込みし私は見学のみで参加しました。餌付けしているところを見れるのかと思っていましたが、屋内のプールで行うので見学者は入れなく見る事はできませんでした。
園内ではいろいろなショウをやっていましたが、中でも屋外でのドルフィンショウが迫力があり見どころでした。

The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.

海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです

There were many slides that you can't find in Japan, and it was fun. It's cheap, and you can play all day! But the weather was cloudy and cold.

日本にはな無いスライダーが沢山あって面白かった。
安いし一日遊べる～
でも天気が曇りで寒かった～

Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.

潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。

Everyone was friendly! The sandbar was the best part. Family friendly and fun for anyone! The only bad was that we didn't see anything while snorkeling and the coral reefs were rough.

I didn't expect to be able to get so close to the fish and animals. My 3-year-old child seemed to have so much fun that they said, "I don't want to go home yet!" I was quite anxious about playing with the dolphins, but my child expressed a desire to do it and even kissed a dolphin. We wished we could have played a little longer.

こんなに魚や動物と間近に触れ合えるとは思いませんでした。
3歳の子どもも「まだ帰らない！」と言うくらい楽しそうでした。
イルカとも遊べるかかなり不安でしたが、自らやりたいと言って、イルカとキスもしていました。
もう少し遊びたかったですね。

Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs

Had a great time. It's worth it. Highly recommeded

I spent 5 nights and 7 days enjoying Hawaii, utilizing various activity tours and options here...

Number one by far!!!!

The best!!!

★★★★★★★★★★ (Five stars aren't enough!)

I will definitely go again!!!!

From the start (it was early morning), a lively lady named Julie greeted us! She was really entertaining!! It was amazing to learn so much about dolphins and Hawaii in just a few hours! (Like how banana patterns are unlucky, and the best sunset spots...)

I rented a wetsuit. It wasn't cold, so it was comfortable, but it didn't seem necessary to borrow one, so it seems fine if you don't. I wore one, but I wasn't cold! I wonder if anyone didn't wear one...

Then we boarded the boat!! We learned a prayer song and sang "E-ho-mai!" My son is still singing it!

The first hour of dolphin class... amazing!!! So many dolphins! They were so close! The service was incredible! I could hear their ultrasonic sounds perfectly! My 8-year-old daughter was super excited!!!

In the second hour of turtle class... they were so friendly!! They were so close that we were desperate not to touch them! There was only one turtle, but it swam slowly, making it easy for us to see! We could clearly see its various swimming styles, postures, and expressions!! My 6-year-old son was completely mesmerized. My 70-year-old father also entered the water, and the staff stayed with him, so he felt safe watching the turtle.

In the third hour of snorkeling and sea sports (kayaking, paddling, diving, etc.)... there were tons of fish! The staff spread a lot of food and were great at taking photos! My father (70) and mother (65) also tried kayaking. I did everything. My fearless 6-year-old son and cautious 8-year-old daughter also dove in!! I didn't want to go back to the boat... I really didn't want to leave...

For lunch... cheeseburgers! So good~~ It ranks in the top three of what I ate in Hawaii! Eating in a place like that is the best! It's probably similar to McDonald's in Japan? The kids finished everything!! The juice and snacks were delicious too!

In the hula class... it seemed like they had just learned it, so it was a bit messy... haha!! But that was also fun! We all danced together—everyone had a great time dancing!!

On the way back, everyone was tired and it was nap time...

It was really great!! I absolutely recommend it! If you're hesitating, you should go!! Even if you have a budget, you should go!! You can't enjoy it without coming here!!!

*There were a few people who got seasick, but they said it's better to get in the water if you feel sick! Those who were seasick felt better after getting in the water.

Our family didn't get seasick (we took medication) and had a great time.

I want to post about 100 photos... but I'll be selective.

*That night, our whole family had a dream that Julie (the staff) was actually a dolphin. Was it just a coincidence...?

写真も１００枚ぐらい載せたいです・・が厳選して載せます。

※その夜ジュリー（スタッフ）が本当はイルカだったという夢を家族全員見たんですが偶然でしょうか。。。。

I participated as an observer, and my 4-year-old daughter joined! She seemed to have a lot of fun(^^). It was the first time I saw her so focused and enjoying the interaction with the dolphins, taking photos, and listening to the explanations in Japanese about how to touch the dolphins! I think it was a great experience!

However, the observation area had no roof and was hot! My 1-year-old daughter and I endured the heat for about an hour. I wished there was a roof many times...

In addition to the dolphin interaction, we also had enough time to explore the small aquarium, so it was easy to go around, and gathering at 2:30 was sufficient! Although it was outside the tour, we also got to touch baby sea turtles during feeding time! (Free)

私自身は見学者、4歳の娘が参加しました！
とても楽しそうでした(^^)　イルカとの触れ合い、撮影、日本語でのイルカの触り方の説明、と集中して楽しむ様子の娘を初めてみました！とても良い経験ができたと思います！
ただ、見学者のところは屋根もなく暑い！1歳の娘と私は1時間ほど暑さに耐えながらでした。屋根があればいいのになぁ…と何度も思いました。
イルカとの触れ合い以外にもしっかりと園内を回る時間もあり、小さな水族館ですのですぐに回れ2時半集合でも十分でした！
ツアー外ですが、餌やりのところでウミガメの赤ちゃんにも触れました！（無料）

We chose to rent a car and meet at the location because we wanted to drive around to other places. The scenery was undoubtedly exquisite, and it made me feel very happy. The tour itself ended early (around 10:30), so we could make good use of the remaining time. We drove around Makapu'u Point, and the color of the ocean was truly beautiful, another breathtaking view.

The tour price was a bit on the higher side (which is understandable in Hawaii), and the light snack was really just a light snack, which made me chuckle. However, I definitely think you should experience that stunning view at least once. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

私たちは、他のところもドライブして回りたかったので、レンタカーを借りて現地集合を選択しました。景色は、間違いなく、もう絶品です。とっても幸せな気持ちになれました。ツアー自体も早く終わるので（10：30過ぎくらいには現地で解散）、後の時間も有効に使えます。マカプウ岬の方をドライブして回りましたが、海の色が本当に美しくこれまた絶景でした。
すこし、ツアー代金が高め（ハワイだから仕方ないですね）なのと、軽食が本当に軽食なのでつい笑ってしまいましたが、是非、一度はあの絶景に包まれてみてくださいって思います。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

We had a blast! Beautiful views and the only way to really see the lava inside the volcano! I'm so glad we did the helicopter tour instead of the one without!

Swimming alongside dolphins and sea turtles in the crystal-clear ocean was truly breathtaking! I also visited several famous snorkeling spots, but the clarity of the water and the number of fish in this tour were overwhelmingly superior. It's recommended not only for those who want to swim with dolphins and sea turtles but also for anyone looking to see a lot of fish while snorkeling. I believe it will become the best memory for ocean lovers in Hawaii. They take plenty of photos, making it a great choice for a honeymoon as well. Additionally, the guide and the crew all worked to create a fun atmosphere, allowing us to genuinely enjoy the experience. It was a tour that made me want to participate again!

透き通った海の中をイルカやウミガメが泳ぐ姿は圧巻でした！また、複数の有名なシュノーケリンスポッとも行きましたが、海の透明度や魚の数はこのツアーが圧倒的に秀でていました。(>_<)
イルカやウミガメと泳ぎたい人だけでなく、シュノーケリングで沢山の魚を見たい人にもおすすめです⑅︎◡̈︎* 海好きの人はハワイで1番の思い出になると思います。沢山の写真を撮ってくれるので、ハネムーンにもおすすめです♪
また、ガイドさんはじめ乗組員皆が楽しい雰囲気を作ろうとしてくれたため、心から楽しむことができました。また参加したいと思えたツアーでした(*^^*)

I was lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle! The staff was very energetic, and I completely forgot about the early morning struggle and had an amazing time! The hula lesson was also fun.

I requested photos, and they took a lot of priority shots for us, including aerial photos that we couldn't take ourselves, which made me very satisfied.

The activities included stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and a waterslide. The waterslide was even more fun than I imagined, and I went down it multiple times.

The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best. I want to participate again when I come back to Oahu!

運が良く、イルカの群れと、海ガメさんも観れました！スタッフの方もテンションが高く、朝早くてキツイのも忘れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！フラのレッスンも面白かったです＼(^ω^)／
写真を頼んだのですが、たくさん優先的に写真を撮ってもらい、自分たちでは撮れない空撮の写真ももらえて大満足です。
アクティビティでは、スタンダップパドルや、カヌーや、滑り台がありました。滑り台は想像以上なら面白くて何回もしました。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
また、オアフに来たら参加したいです！！

Due to my schedule, I couldn't go during low tide. If the tide had been out, I might have been more impressed. Also, it was raining. This is something you wouldn't know unless you go.

スケジュールの都合で、干潮の時間に行けませんでした。潮が引いていたら、もっと感動したかも。
あとは、雨が降っていました。これは行ってみないと分からないですが。

I went on an optional tour!
There were few people, so I was able to ride without waiting (＾_＾)
There were many slides, and it was fun!

オプショナルツアーで行きました！
人が少ないため、並ばず乗れました（＾_＾）
たくさんスライダーがあり楽しかったです！

It was raining and very cold, but the staff really got everyone excited, and I was able to enjoy a fun snorkeling experience✨ When we spotted a turtle, the captain kindly stopped the boat, which I thought was very considerate! I definitely want to try again on a sunny day!!!

雨が降っていてとても寒かったですが、スタッフの皆さんが盛り上げてくださって楽しいシュノーケルをすることができました✨
カメを見つけたらキャプテンが船を止めてくださったりとても良心的だったなあと思います！
次は天気のいい日にぜひ再チャレンジしたいと思います！！！

We participated with two children and two adults. Overall, we were satisfied, but during the dolphin interaction, we were split into two groups, and the other group seemed to have children who were able to get closer to the dolphins (perhaps there was a platform in the pool for small children?). The photos taken, which often feature only the children, were more common in that group, and I felt that group was better. I think it depends on the trainer's instructions, so it might be a matter of luck. Before the activity started, the explanations were handled by Japanese staff for Japanese participants, so I had no particular concerns. The trainer could speak a little simple Japanese and communicated with us in simple English and occasionally in Japanese while we interacted with the dolphins, so there were no issues.

子供二人、大人二人での参加でした。
概ね満足だったのですが、イルカと握手したりする際、現地で2グループに分かれるのですが、もう一方のグループの方が子供がより近くにイルカと触れ合えており(プールの中に小さな子供立てるような台があったのか？)、よくこちらの広告画像でも見られるような、子供だけが写るように写真撮影されており、そちらのグループがよかったなと思いました。トレーナーさんの指示によると思うので運次第なのかと思います。始まるまでの説明等は、日本人の場合は日本人スタッフの方が担当しており、特に不安はありません。トレーナーさんは簡単な日本語は少しできる方で、イルカと触れ合っている間も簡単な英語と時折日本語で話してくれるので、特に問題なくできました。

Welcome was great, young lady was very personable....walked us to baggage claim and gave us several ideas if things to do....She was great a geart first impression to Hawaii, you should be proud to have her on your staff.

Until just before participating, he was a beginner with low enthusiasm, but after hearing the class representative Julie's talk on the bus, his spirits lifted. As soon as we arrived and received the explanation, we quickly spotted Dolphin Sensei and jumped in without any time to worry!

While he, who was a beginner, was swimming, I, who should have been able to swim, was flustered with my first snorkeling and fins. By the time I settled down, everyone was already swimming smoothly with Dolphin Sensei. I got to swim with fish that felt like they were in an aquarium, and I even met Professor Turtle and the little professor—amazing!

The guy next to me was much more enthusiastic than before, which was great. At one point, the speaker had issues, and there was an impromptu ukulele performance. The hamburgers were delicious, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad I participated.

I wish I had taken more photos… I regretted it a bit, but I'm glad we got some good shots.

I want to participate again when I go to Hawaii next time, so I hope the laws don't change… but I understand it's for Dolphin Sensei, so it can't be helped.

参加直前まで、彼が海外も初、カナヅチで、テンション低めの彼でしたが、乗ったバスの学級委員長であるジュリさんのお話でテンション上がり、ついて早々説明を聞いてすぐにイルカ先生が見つかって飛び込んで!!って、心配している時間もなくあっという間に着水!!
カナヅチだった彼より、泳げたはずの私が、初のシュノーケル＆フィンであたふた（）
落ち着いた頃には、みんな既にスイスイ泳がれてて、イルカ先生たちと泳いでました。
水族館にいるような魚さん達とも泳げたし、ウミガメ教授や子教授とも会えてサイコー!!

隣の彼は、行く前と違って、テンションがグーーン↑↑ってあがって、良かったです。
途中で、スピーカーの調子が悪く、急遽ウクレレ演奏もあって、ハンバーガーも美味しく、楽しすぎるツアーでした✨
参加してほんとによかった❤

写真ももっと撮ってもらえば良かったなぁ…
って、後悔してはみたものの、ちゃんと撮ってくれてて良かったです★

今度ハワイに行ってもまた参加したいので、法律が変わりませんように、、
イルカ先生のためだから、仕方ないのだけど…

The bus was about 15 minutes late, and I started to worry if they would really come to pick us up. The bus was full, and I thought the pool would be quite crowded, but at first, it was empty, and I could slide down the slides easily. Unfortunately, the biggest slide seemed to be out of service, but I had more fun than I expected.

１５分ほどバスが遅れてきて、本当に迎えに来てくれるのか心配になりました。
バスは満席で、プールもかなり混雑していると思ったんですが、最初のうちはガラガラですいすいスライダー滑れました。
なぜか一番大きそうなスライダーが使用できなく残念でしたが、思った以上に楽しかったです。

It was uncertain whether we would see whales towards the end of the season, but unfortunately, we didn't. I will try again.

シーズン終わり近くで、クジラが見られるか微妙でしたが、残念ながら見れませんでした。
また挑戦します。

This time, I participated with my 3-year-old and 11-year-old children. We were told to jump into the water from the boat, and I was worried about whether my 3-year-old would be okay, but the staff kindly helped him down from the boat, and everyone was so nice and helpful.

The dolphins came up to the surface, so my younger child was able to see them and was thrilled, shouting "Dolphin!" After that, we went to a snorkeling spot that was so beautiful we could see the fish from the boat, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle! At first, my 3-year-old was scared of the deep sea since it was their first time, but by the end, they were crying because they didn't want to leave (laughs).

The staff were all kind and fun, and time flew by so quickly.

Since the boat does sway a lot, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. Even though I wore a rented wetsuit, I felt cold in the water towards the end, so I recommend renting a wetsuit as well. They had children's sizes available, which was a big help.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

今回は3歳、11歳の子連れで参加。
船からはジャンプで入ります‼︎と言われ3歳の子は大丈夫かな？とハラハラしてましたがスタッフの人が船の上から優しく降ろしてくれたりと、みんな優しくて助かりました。
イルカが水面まで上がってきてくれたので、下の子もイルカを見る事が出来てイルカーー‼︎と喜んでいました☆
その後に行ったシュノーケリングポイントでは船の上からでも中の魚が見える程キレイな場所で、運良く海ガメにも遭遇出来ました‼︎
最初は初めての深い海に怖がっていた3歳児も最後は帰るのが嫌で泣くほどでした(笑)

スタッフの方々も皆んな優しく楽しくてほんとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。

どうしても船が揺れるので酔い止めは必須かなと思います。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着てても最後の方は海の中で寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツもレンタルをオススメします。
子供用もちゃんと用意されていたので助かりました。

また機会があったら参加したいなと思いました☆

I was nervous about our first family trip to Hawaii, but with the cheerful Japanese staff member, Julie, leading us, we had a wonderful experience. I definitely want to participate again when we visit next time.

初めてのハワイ家族旅行で緊張しておりましたが、とても陽気な日本人スタッフ（ジュリさん）にリードしていただき、楽しい経験ができました。再訪の時は、是非また参加したいと思います。

Good tour for our needs. Tell the people NO BAGS so everybody does not have to go back to pick up bags that never should have been on the bus!!

The meeting place had changed, and even at the pickup time, no one showed up, so I waited for about an hour. I started to feel anxious, but once the tour actually began, the Japanese guide provided a thorough and attentive experience. They took a lot of photos for us, and we had a great time. We were able to watch many turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful.

集合場所が変わってたこともあり、ピックアップ時間になっても全く来ず、1時間くらい待ちました。不安になりましたけど、ツアーが実際始まったら日本人ガイドの方がしっかりガイドして下さりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、楽しめました。亀もたくさんウォッチング出来ましたし、サンドバーも綺麗でした。

I participated in late November.
On the day of the event, the sky was cloudy, and there were hardly any visitors, which felt a bit lonely.
The number of participants in the program was also small, with only one group being foreigners, while the rest were all Japanese.
The program explanation was given in Japanese, but the instructor for the dolphin encounter spoke only in English. Other families looked puzzled.
When it came time to meet the dolphins, the water level was high, reaching about my chest at 160 cm, so a three-year-old child needed to be held by an adult.
While the dolphins came close, it was mostly just fear for the child, who ended up crying the whole time (laughs).
It might have been better to wait until they were a bit older.
I think for small children, the Dolphin Touch experience would be sufficient.

11月下旬に参加しました。
当日は曇り空、入場者も全然いない、少し寂しい感じでした。
プログラム参加人数も少なく、１グループのみ外国の方で、他は日本人ばかりでした。
プログラムの説明は、日本語でしていただきましたが、イルカと対面する際のインストラクターについては、英語のみ。他の家族の方は、キョトンっとしていました。
いざイルカと対面する際、水の水位が高く、160㎝の私で、胸下ぐらいあったので、３歳の子供は大人が抱っこしていないと駄目でした。
近くまで来てくれるのは可愛いのですが、子供にとっても恐怖のみ、始終泣いてしまいました（笑）
もう少し大きくなってからが良かったかもです。
小さいお子さんには、ドルフィンタッチで十分だと思いました。

we had the best time, best crew and best sunset. we are local and love to do the sunset sail for our birthdays.

砂州は海面下にありましたが、この美しい場所に失望することはありません。亀や魚と一緒に泳ぎ、明るい日差しを楽しむことができます。スタッフは皆温かく親切です。この場所をお見逃しなく。

The sandbar was well beneath the sea level, but you never be disappointed for this beautiful place. You can swim with turtles and fishes and have a brightest sunshine.
Staff are all warm and kind. Don't miss this place.

I participated with my husband on April 26, just before Golden Week, during the Japanese guide's time. Based on the comments from other participants, I properly took anti-seasickness medication... The boat ride to the submersible was quite rocky. There were also some splashes of water... But I forgot all that in the underwater world. Fortunately, we encountered sea turtles three times. The artificial coral reef was home to many different types of fish, and the American (?) Japanese guide was enjoyable as well.

ゴールデンウィーク前の4月26日に日本語ガイドの時間に主人と参加しました。他の参加者のコメントを参考にきちんと酔止めを服用……潜水艇へ行く迄の船で結構揺れました。水しぶきも少々……そんなことも忘れてしまうくらいの海底の世界。ラッキーなことに海がめに3回出会いました。人工のサンゴ礁には沢山の種類のお魚達に、アメリカ人(?)の日本語ガイドも楽しかったです。
