All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

During my first snorkeling experience, I almost had a mini panic at first. However, with the help of the staff, I was able to safely meet the dolphins. It was truly wonderful. There was also a baby dolphin, and it was so cute. I also got to see a honu (sea turtle). My daughter is saying that she definitely wants to participate again the next time we go to Hawaii.

初シュノーケルで海に入って最初はプチパニックになりそうでしたが。スタッフの方に手助けしていただき、無事にイルカに会うことができました。本当に素敵でした。赤ちゃんイルカもいて本当にかわいかった。ホヌにも会えました。娘は次回ハワイに行った時はまた絶対に参加したいと言っています。

I referred to the experiences of others and participated in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on Earth Sandbar activity for the first time. I researched the times when the sandbar would be at low tide on the web six months in advance and made my reservation accordingly. Thanks to that, when we arrived at the sandbar at 10 AM, the tide was about 15 centimeters. The rest depends on the weather; while it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say it can be heaven or hell, you can get a rough idea of the weather from the long-term forecast a week prior. However, if you wait until the last minute, there’s a possibility it could be fully booked. The staff were very kind and it was a great experience. I would like to go again, this time with my grandchildren.

体験談を参考にさせて頂き、今回はじめてキャプテン・ブルース　天国の海　サンドバーのアクティビティに参加しました。半年前から滞在期間中で最もサンドバーが干潮になる時間帯をWebで調べて申し込みしました。そのおかげでサンドバーに到着した１０時には潮位は１５センチ位でした。あとは天気しだいで天国と地獄ちょっと言い過ぎと思いますが、天気は1週間前の長期予報でおおよそ分かります。ただし直前だと満席の可能性があります。
スタッフのみなさんはとても親切で大変良かったです。
今度は孫を連れて、また行きたいと思いました。

I gave a present to a family member. When I asked for their impressions, they said it was unfortunately rainy that day (not a downpour or a passing shower, but a light rain that kept falling continuously) and it was so cold that they were shivering the whole time. They mentioned that they could only see the turtles for a brief moment... I thought it would be nice if there were special courses or activities that could be enjoyed even on rainy days.

身内にプレゼントしました。
感想を聞いたところ、当日は生憎の雨模様で（スコールや通り雨ではなく、小雨がずーーーっと降ってました）寒すぎて、ずっと震えていたそうです。
亀も一瞬だけしか見えなかったそうな…
雨の日でも楽しめるような、特別コース等があると良いなあと思いました。

I have been living in Hawaii for about six months for work. I used this for a solo trip on my day off! I was able to choose options for breakfast and transportation to the location. I applied for the cheapest tour without any extras. I took The Bus to the location and was able to find the boat right away without any issues. I recommend The Bus for those with some time to spare! I only saw the whales for a brief moment, but since it's nature... there's nothing you can do about it. It's a limited-time event, so I can't participate now, but if I'm in Hawaii during the season again, I would like to join once more.

私はハワイに仕事で半年ぐらいの在住者です。休みの日の一人旅で利用！
朝食の有無、現地まで送迎の有無をオプションで選べました。私は何も付けない一番安いツアーに申込ました。ザ・バスで現地までＧＯ！船もすぐに見つけることができ問題無しでした。時間に余裕のある方はザ・バスをお勧めします！クジラはほんの一瞬だけしか見れませんでしが、自然が相手ですから…仕方がないですね。期間限定ですので今は参加できませんが、シーズになりハワイにいれば、また参加したです。

The arrangements were smooth as well. The pick-up 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。

It was a wonderful tour. I wish it had been a little shallower, though. The hamburger was delicious too! The conductor was great as well. Thank you!

素晴らしいツアーでした。もう少し浅かったら良かったけど。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ～。コンダクターも良かったです。ありがとう。

We were blessed with many dolphins! They swam around us in circles. I missed seeing the manta ray, but some people were able to see sea turtles.

We had a packed schedule with snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, jumping off the boat, and even learning hula dancing! It was a fantastic time, and not only did we enjoy the ocean activities, but the staff were all truly wonderful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The bus ride there with the energetic lessons really boosted our spirits and was the best.

I apologize for the delay in sharing my experience. I look forward to visiting again when I go to Honolulu!

たくさんんのイルカ達に恵まれました♪私たちの周りをくるくると泳いでくれたり♪
マンタに、私は見逃しましたがウミガメも見れた方もいたとか＾＾
シュノーケリングや、スタンドアップパドルにカヌー、船から飛び込んだり、フラダンスを教えてもらったりと、終始盛りだくさん！
海遊びを満喫させて頂けたのももちろん、スタッフの方が皆本当に素敵でそれもあって楽しさ倍増でした☆
行きのバスからのマシンガン授業も気分を高めて頂き最高でした。

最後に体験談の書き込みが遅くなり申し訳ありませんした。
また、ホノルルへ行く際にはお邪魔しますので、よろしくお願いいたします＾＾

I was able to experience a uniqueness that I can't find in Japan. The shuttle service arrived on time, allowing me to enjoy myself without worry. It became a wonderful memory.

日本にはない面白さを感じることができました。送迎も時間通りに来ていただき、安心して遊ぶことができました。いい思い出となりました。

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this time, due to my retirement and our 35th wedding anniversary, I signed up for a sunset dinner cruise through VELTRA for the first time and participated.

It might just be me, but when I boarded the ship, other participants were already having dinner, and when I was shown to my seat, there was no explanation at all. I had no idea what to do, and my dissatisfaction started piling up from the beginning of dinner. To make matters worse, the photos I purchased were not handed to me on the spot but were given to me when I was getting off, which wasted time checking the faces of the buyers against the photos, leaving me in a terrible mood.

As for the cruise itself, I had previously been on the Navatek, and since this one also operated near Diamond Head, I thought it was good.

何度もハワイ旅行に行っていますが、今回は退職、結婚35年ということもあって、初めてサンセットディナークルーズをＶＥＬＴＲＡを通じて申し込み、参加しました。
私だけかもしれませんが、船舶に乗り込んだ時には、他の参加者はすでにディナーを取っており、席に案内された際に何の説明もなく、何をすればよいのか全然わからず、ディナー開始から不満が積もり、挙句の果てには購入した写真をその場で渡さず、降りる際に渡したため、購入者の顔と写真のチェックに無駄な時間だけがかかり、気分は最悪でした。
クルーズ自体は、以前ナバティック号に乗ったこともあり、今回もダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで運行したので良かったと思います。

The food and entertainment was fabulous.
The service was great.
Everyone was very accommodating too.

Just a little bit of tail flapping and a few spouts. I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medication and being out on the deck in the wind, I was fine. Next time, I want to see the jumps as well. I don't know how many years it will be, but I want to participate again.

ほんのすこしだけ、尾ひれを振ってくれたのと、何度かの潮吹きと。
心配していた船酔いは、酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、
ずっとデッキに出ていたので風に当たっていたおかげか、大丈夫でした。
次はジャンプなども見たいです。何年後になるかわかりませんが、また参加したいです。

I'm glad I was able to go to Sandbar, but I hardly saw any fish while snorkeling. If you're thinking, "I'll just snorkel here, so I don't need to go anywhere else!" it's better to go somewhere else. The crew members were all friendly, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは実際行けてよかったですが、シュノーケルはほぼ魚みれず。シュノーケルここでやるから、他はいいや！って思ってる方は別でいったほうがよいです。船員さんはみな気さくで楽しめました。

It was exciting walking through a rain forest and also a good cardio workout. Our group had walking sticks so it was beneficial where it was a bit rocky or wet. Just take your time going up or back down and enjoy the scenery.

I participated in the Dolphin University on April 16th.

In a word, it was a dream-like experience.

We departed early in the morning before sunrise. We were greeted by the energetic Julie, and headed to the harbor on the west coast where the boat would depart. On the bus, Julie provided lively and enjoyable explanations, sharing stories about dolphins and important notes that got our adrenaline pumping even before we arrived.

We were told that there was a high probability of seeing dolphins, but since it was nature, I had some concerns.

However, shortly after the boat set off, we encountered a pod of dolphins. The staff worked together tirelessly to ensure we could see the dolphins.

Dozens of dolphins slowly passed right beneath us, and it was so moving that it is still etched in my memory.

After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles. The visibility that day was excellent, and we could see all the way to the bottom, so we were able to spot the turtles quickly. We were able to see both a large turtle and a small turtle, which was truly satisfying.

After seeing the turtles, we had free time in the ocean. We enjoyed various activities like jumping off the boat, snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. After lunch, we all danced the hula together, bringing the tour to a close.

I am truly grateful to all the staff who kept us entertained until the end. If I have the opportunity to participate again, I hope to go see the dolphins with this same crew.

It was the best time. Thank you very much.

4月16日のイルカ大学に参加させていただきました。

一言で言えば、夢のような時間でした。

朝、日が昇らない時間から出発。
元気が良いジュリーさんに迎えられ、ボートが出発する西海岸の港へと向かいます。
バスの中ではジュリーさんの威勢のいい楽しい説明があり、イルカの話や注意事項など到着する前からアドレナリンを放出させられます。

ほとんどの確率でイルカには会えるとのことでしたが、自然相手なので多少の心配もありました。

しかし、ボートが出発してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇。
スタッフの皆さんも一丸となって私たちにイルカを見せてくれようと必死になって頑張ってくました。

何十頭ものイルカが私たちの真下をゆっくりと通りすぎ、とても感動的で今でも目に焼き付いています。

その後、カメの見られるポイントへ移動。
その日は透明度も良く、底までしっかりと見えたので、カメもすぐに見つけられることできました。
大きいカメと小さいカメの二匹を見ることができ、本当に満足のいく内容でした。

カメを見た後は、そのまま海で自由時間。
ボートから飛び込んだり、シュノーケリング、カヤック、サップと各々海でのアクティビティーを楽しんだ私たちは、昼食後皆でフラを踊り、ツアーの幕が下りました。

最後まで楽しませてくれたスタッフの皆さんには本当に感謝しています。
また参加する機会があれば、同じこのクルーと一緒にイルカを見に行けたらいいなと思いました。

最高の時間でした。ありがとうございました。

I always participate in this tour when I go to Hawaii!!
Even though it's a short half-day OP tour, it mainly features dolphin swimming, hula experiences, a burger lunch on the boat, and surprises, making it 120% satisfying!!!
I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!!!

ハワイに行くと必ずこのツアーに参加します！！
半日というショートなOPツアーながらドルフィンスイムをメインに
フラ体験や船上でのバーガーランチ＆サプライズなどなど120％満足する内容です！！！
またハワイに行ったときは必ず参加します！！！！！

We participated as a group of 11 from 4 families. We joined a tour that included lunch and drinks, and it was a great decision not to have to carry cash. It was nice to enjoy lunch at a table with a roof, taking our time.

The water park was a hit with the kids, from elementary school to college, who had a blast playing. There are changing rooms available, so it's no problem to change into swimsuits on-site.

I had previously gone by rental car, but taking the shuttle bus for pick-up and drop-off is definitely more convenient! I recommend this for those who want to have an exciting time!

4家族11人で参加しました。
ランチ、ドリンク付きのツアーに参加しましたが、お金を持ち歩くことをしなくていいので、正解でした。ランチは屋根のあるテーブルでゆっくり食べれてよかったです。
ウォーターパークは、小学生〜大学生までの子供たちは大喜びでたくさん遊びました。
水着は着替える更衣室はあるので、現地で着替えるのは問題ないです。
以前、レンタカーで行ったことあるのですが、行き帰り送り迎えのバスはやはり楽でいいですね！
エキサイティングに遊びたい方には、おすすめです！

The bus rides to and from were very comfortable.
The entrance right after opening was good!
I was disappointed that the slide I wanted to ride the most was out of operation.
It was also unfortunate that I couldn't use the spa.
The barbecue and private bodyboarding made the kids very happy, which was great.

行き帰りのバスはとても快適。
オープンすぐの入場もGood！
一番乗りたかったスライダーが運転停止になってて残念。
スパも入れず残念。
バーベキューと貸切のボディボードには子供達も大喜びで良かったです

It was great! Larry was super as a tour guide & driver.

The only participant in the tour was Japanese, and since everything from the explanation to the end was in English, they tried very hard to explain things, but I couldn't fully understand until the end.

ツアー参加者で日本人が我家のみで、説明から終了までが全て英語だった為に
一生懸命説明などをしてくれていたのですが、最後まで良く理解出来ずに終了してしまいました。

We participated with two adults and three children. The park is large and offers a variety of experiences, so be careful as you might run out of time. During lunch, there are often long lines at the food stalls, so it's better to manage your time wisely!

大人2人子供3人で参加しました。
パーク内は広く色々な体験ができます、その為に以外に時間が足りなくなるので注意です。
昼などは売店等かなり並びますので上手く時間を使った方が良いです！

A friend recommended Sea Life Park, saying I could play with dolphins after visiting for a program recording. Before interacting directly with the dolphins, I watched the dolphin show, which really got me excited, and then I was able to play with the dolphins in the same pool where the show took place. I want to go again.

知り合いが番組収録で訪れ、イルカと遊べるから行ってみたら？と勧めてくれたシーライフパーク。
イルカと直接触れ合う前にイルカショーを観てテンションも上がりそしてショーを観た同じプールでイルカと遊べます。
また行きたいです。

I was able to take a flight in the afternoon, and since it was my first time seeing a whale, I was quite shocked! It was a valuable experience! I will use this service again!

お昼からの便でいけたんですけど、初めてクジラを見るのでかなりの衝撃を受けました！貴重な経験できました！また利用させていただきます！

It's a very beautiful place where you can meet sea turtles, and the lunch on the boat was not just a tour bento, but very delicious. It's a place you should visit at least once.

とてもきれいな場所で、海がめにも会え、船上のランチもツアーのお弁当、ではなくとても美味しかったです。一度は行くべき場所です。

This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.

サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

It's a theme park with various slides, but the quality of each is somewhat rough and falls short compared to those in Japanese pools. For some reason, they were operating in a sequence, and it was often the case that the attractions I wanted to ride were not in operation. There was often no information about when they would reopen, which was confusing. The operating hours were from 10:30 to 15:30, and even then, I found myself with too much free time. Overall, it was quite empty. The prices are not much different from Disneyland, so this might be a bit disappointing. However, I think kids would really enjoy it! The food court meals were surprisingly authentic.

スライダーが色々あるテーマパークだが、どれも大雑把な出来で、日本のプールにあるものより少しクオリティが落ちる。
なぜか順番に運転しており、目当てのものが運行していないことが多発していた。何時に来れば再開するのかも書いてないことが多く戸惑った。
10:30〜15:30の営業時間だったかそれでも暇を持て余した。
全体的に空いてます。ディズニーランドと大差ない価格でこれはイマイチかも。でもお子さんと行くならかなり喜ばれるかと思います！
フードコートの食事は意外と本格的でした。

On our honeymoon, both of us were visiting Hawaii for the first time and learned about Wet 'n' Wild. It seems the meeting place for the tour had changed, and we weren't aware of it, but the bus driver kindly came to pick us up at the original meeting spot. Then we set off.

The driver only spoke English, but I thought it was very considerate that they provided audio guides in English, Japanese, and (probably) Chinese.

And we arrived! Since we usually go to Nagashima Spa Land, it didn't feel very large, but the intensity of each attraction definitely felt like something you'd find overseas. The slides had almost a 90-degree drop, which was quite thrilling! The wave pool was 220 meters deep at its deepest point, and the waves were really strong.

It was so much fun! The drinks were mostly carbonated, which felt very American, but the food portions were just right, and everything was really delicious.

ハネムーンで、2人とも初めてのハワイいろいろ調べていてウェットアンドワイルドを知りました。
当日ツアーの集合場所が変更されていたらしく、そのことを知らなかったですが元の集合場所までわざわざバスの運転手さんが迎えに来てくれました。そして出発
運転手さんは英語しか話せない人でしたが、英語、日本語、(おそらく)中国語？の音声ガイドを流してくれてすごく丁寧だなと思いました。
そして到着！普段ナガシマスパーランドに行っているのであまり広くは感じませんでしたが、一つ一つのアトラクションの迫力がやはり海外だなと思いましたスライダーでほぼ90度の角度になって落ちたり笑
波のプールは1番深いところで220mとか笑 しかもすごく波が強い笑
めちゃめちゃたのしかったです

ドリンクは ほぼ炭酸でアメリカンだなと思いましたが、フードのサイズはちょうどよく味もすごく美味しかったです

There are several sandbar tours, but the only walkable sandbar is with Captain Bruce. Not only is the sea beautiful, but I also enjoyed a BBQ on the boat and had the chance to see wild turtles up close, which was a lot of fun.

サンドバーツアーは数ありますが、歩けるサンドバーはキャプテンブルースのみ。海がキレイなだけでなく、船上BBQを満喫できたり野生のカメを間近で見れたり非常に楽しめました。

We had a great experience at the Luau even though we had a lot of rain. Don't worry, they provided ponchos for everyone, which helped keep us warm too. My son loved the fire dancers and the food was good too. The chief who narrated the show was hilarious.

It was a honeymoon trip to Hawaii, but until we joined this tour, my husband wasn't very comfortable with Hawaii. He hadn't participated in any tours voluntarily and the food didn't quite suit him, so he didn't have a very enjoyable impression of Hawaii leading up to this tour. However, during this tour, we got on a boat, swam in the ocean surrounded by dolphins, and even swam with sea turtles, which are hard to encounter even in Okinawa, Japan. He was very excited and enjoyed it, and seeing him like that made me feel relieved and happy.

Additionally, throughout the tour, a photographer accompanied us and took photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves. Although it was an extra charge, we decided to purchase them, and they became a page in our wonderful memory album. My husband has a lot of snorkeling experience in Okinawa, but he mentioned that it's rare to find a company like this one that allows you to swim for such a long time.

Not only did we swim with dolphins and sea turtles, but the boat also moved to different spots where we could swim with fish. They even had canoes available if we wanted, which showed great consideration.

On the boat, there were services provided at intervals, such as pineapple, juice, snacks, lunch burgers, and even dancing, which made it more than just a sea activity and kept the guests entertained. The crew, led by the organizer Yuriko, along with the young boys, were all kind and pleasant, making for a very enjoyable day. This was the best memory of our time in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ハネムーンでのハワイ旅行でしたが、このツアーに参加するまでは旦那さんがあまりハワイに馴染めなく、というのも食事が少し合わなかったり、自発的に参加するツアーにまだ参加していなかったので、ハワイに対してあまり楽しい印象がないまま今回のこちらのツアー日を迎えました。けれどこのツアーで船に乗り、イルカに囲まれて海を泳ぎ、また日本では沖縄であってもなかなか遭遇できないウミガメとも一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても興奮し、楽しんでいました。その姿を見て私もほっとするとともにうれしい気持ちになりました。
またこのツアーではずっとカメラマンさんが付き添って下さり、自分たちでは取れないような写真を撮影してくれました。有料にはなりますが、私たちはぜひにと思い購入させていただき、良き思い出のアルバムの1ページとなりました。旦那さんは沖縄でのシュノーケリング経験が多くあるのですが、こちらの催行会社のように、長い時間たっぷりと泳がせてくれるところは少ないと言っていました。
またイルカやウミガメだけでなく、その後もポイントを変えて、魚とも一緒に泳げるスポットまで船を移動して下さり、希望すればカヌー等も用意があり、配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
船上でもパイナップル、ジュース、スナック、ランチのハンバーガー、船上でのダンスなど、時間を置いて少しずつサービス提供があり、ただ海のアクティビティだけをするということではない、ゲストを飽きさせない工夫が凝らされていたと思います。
乗組員の方もまとめ役のユリコさんを筆頭に、若い男の子たちもみなさん親切で感じがよく、とても気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。ハワイでの一番の思い出です。どうもありがとうございました。

I actually intended to purchase Costco coupon tickets, but I forgot my membership card in Japan. I searched for activities in Hawaii on Veltra and made a purchase. It was a place that could only be accessed by car or bus, but since my accommodation was in Ko Olina, taking a taxi seemed more economical, so I opted for a regular ticket without transportation. There were plenty of activities, and I had a great time, but I had to wait about 30 minutes to buy lunch. Looking back, I think I could have skipped eating. The floaties were free, though. I wonder why?

ホントはコストコクーポンチケットを購入するつもりが、会員証を日本に忘れ、ハワイでベルトラ検索し、購入しました。車、もしくはバスでしか行けないところでしたが、宿がコオリナでしたので、タクシーのほうがお得そうなので、送迎なしのノーマルチケットです。アクティビティは豊富で、楽しかったですが、昼ごはんを、購入するのに、30分くらい並びました。今思えば、無理に食べなくても良かったかなと。浮き輪などは、無料でした。なぜだろう？
