All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The weather wasn't very good, but I was really happy to see many sea turtles. The staff were also very kind. I would like to participate again next time.

天気はあまり良くなかったですが、ウミガメをたくさん見れてとても良かったです。
スタッフの方もとても親切でした。
また次回参加したいと思いました。

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。

Thank you all for the great adventure. Lots of turtles and what a beautiful setting!

I was relieved that they arrived on time for the early morning pickup. Although the conversation was only in English, I somehow understood the nuances and was able to spend my time without anxiety. Hanauma Bay was beautiful as always after such a long time.

早朝のお迎えだったけど時間通りに来ていただき安心しました。
英語のみの会話だったけとなんとなくニュアンスは伝わり不安なく過ごせました。
久しぶりのハナウマベイはやっぱり綺麗でした。

We boarded the ship as a family, including our first and third graders. The large ship was very stable and comfortable, with hardly any rocking. I brought motion sickness medication just in case, but it wasn't needed. Perhaps it depends on the weather.

There were also services like coloring activities on board, which were helpful. We were able to see many whales, and we were very satisfied.

小学1年生・3年生の子供達含め、家族で乗船しました。大きな船でほとんど揺れることなく、快適でした。念のため酔い止めを持参しましたが大丈夫でした。天候次第でしょうか。
船内では塗り絵などのサービスもあり助かりました。
クジラもたくさん見ることができて大満足です。

We walked through a jungle-like natural environment to reach the waterfall. It was great that we were able to borrow trekking poles. The weather in March was mild, but I ended up sweating quite a bit. Our Japanese guide, Mei, was a wonderful person. The lunch was also very delicious; my husband had a pastrami sandwich while I enjoyed a vegetable sandwich, all while overlooking the stunning view from Tantalus Hill. It was a very good tour!

ジャングルの様な大自然の中を滝まで歩いて行きます。トレッキング用の杖を貸してもらえたのは良かったです。３月の穏やかなお天気でしたが、結構汗をかきました。日本人ガイドのメイさんがとても素敵な方でした。ランチもとても美味しくタンタラスの丘からの素晴らしい景色を見渡しながら夫はパストラミサンド、私はベジタブルサンドを頂きました。とても良いツアーでした！

I went out with two friends on a Friday in April. Since we were staying at the Ala Moana Hotel, the hotel provided transportation for us.

After picking up a couple of other guests from the hotel, we arrived in about an hour on the highway. Once we got there, the Japanese staff gave us a detailed explanation and accompanied us to the park, explaining how to use the lockers. The Japanese staff were present in the park all day, which made it reassuring to know we could easily ask for help if needed. The small locker, costing $13, can comfortably hold two large bags. You set a 4-digit PIN, and you can open and close it freely.

If you have a wristband for unlimited soft drinks, you can enjoy Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sprite, and three other types of juice. Cold drinks with ice are served immediately in paper cups, and you can also get bottled water. The menu is written in Japanese, making it easy to understand.

Since it wasn't crowded, we managed to experience all the attractions in less than two hours. Even with waiting, it was only about three minutes for everything, and it was all very smooth. The park map is also in Japanese. I heard that some people who visited on holidays could only enjoy one attraction.

Please be careful on the Shaka attraction, as you need to keep your chin down to avoid straining your neck! The showers are cold water, and there are no hair dryers. I think having goggles would make your experience more comfortable.

４月の平日の金曜日に友達2人と遊びに行きました。アラモアナホテルに宿泊しておりましたので、ホテルに送迎がきてくれました。
その後2.３件ホテルでピックアップ後高速道路にて片道約1時間程度で到着。現地に着くと日本語スタッフより丁寧な説明があり、園内まで着いてきてくれてロッカーの使い方などの説明をしてくれました。日本語スタッフは一日中園内に居てくれるので何か困ればすぐ声をかけれる環境で安心でした。ロッカーは小さい13💲の方で大きい荷物2個余裕で入ります。暗証番号4桁を設定します。開け閉め自由に出来ます。ソフトドリンク飲み放題のリストバンドがあれば、ペプシ、ダイエットペプシ、スプライトその他ジュース3種類。
紙コップで氷入りの冷たいものがすぐ提供されます。ボトルの水も貰えます。メニューは日本語が書いてあるのでわかりやすいです。
空いていたので2時間足らずで全てのアトラクション制覇できました。待っても3分程度で全てスムーズでした。園内マップも日本語です。祝日に参加した方は一つのアトラクションしか遊べない人もいたそうです。シャカのアトラクションに関しては顎を引いたままの体勢をキープしないと首を痛めるので注意してください！シャワーは水。ドライヤーは無し。ゴーグルがある方が快適に過ごせると思います。

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.

I’ve been to many luaus and this one was great. The warrior stories and performance was stunning. The food and drinks were good and authentic. The openness of the venue and seating arrangements were appreciated.

Only aspect that was a bit disappointing was the bus/shuttle that took us to the luau: 1) there were a lot of sick people on the bus coughing and sneezing, it would have been mindful to ask they were a mask or include instructions if sick not to take the shuttle 2) the shuttle stayed at the pickup locations for a long time, longer than they should have… this delayed our bus ride. Stick to the rules and please don’t delay other guests. 3) traffic and freeway accidents can’t be prevented or predicted, but if we left the bus stops on time it could have given us more time for pre luau activities.

The weather was nice, so I could see the fish and the sunken ship clearly. It might be tough if it's cloudy. I recommend this for those who want to see a lot of fish but don't want to snorkel. Also, on the way to the submarine transfer, you can see Diamond Head and the beach from the sea side, which makes for great photos.

天気が良かったので、魚や沈没船が良く見えました。曇りだと厳しいかも。とは思いました。沢山の魚を見たいがシュノーケルをしたくない方にお勧めです。また、乗り替える潜水艦にいく途中の船でダイアモンドヘッドやビーチが海側から見れるので、良い写真が撮れます。

You can touch dolphins by following the guide's instructions. It's recommended for small children and animal lovers since you can see their adorable movements up close. The activity is great, but it's also a breathtaking spot with a 180-degree view of the ocean, which is truly impressive. However, there isn't much else to see at Sea Life Park, so I give it 4 stars.

ガイドの指示に従い、イルカに触れることができます。愛くるしい色々な動きを間近で見ることができるので、小さなお子様や動物好きにはオススメです。アクティビティも良いですが、180度見渡せる海の絶景スポットでもあるので、それを観るのも感動ものです。シーライフパーク自体は、他に、あまり観るものがないので、星4です。

We were lost, we called 4 times and no one would pick up our calls before ship left us behind. Someone should be there to answer the phone to help out of state customers, we were a group of 6 Senoir Citizens lost in another state. We all lost all our money we called 45 minutes before ship left.

I thought this was a tour that you can only experience during this season! At first, I was really worried about whether we would actually see anything, but I was glad to be able to witness the whales' spouts and the moment they dive for the first time.

この時期だからこそいけるツアーだと思いました！
最初は本当に見えるのか不安でしたが初めて鯨の潮や潜る瞬間を見ることができよかったです。

It was very good. My high school and university-aged children really enjoyed it. The surfing experience on the board was quite difficult but fun, and the slide was incredibly enjoyable; we went down it many, many times. We were never bored and made the most of our time sliding. While waiting in line for the board, my children were happy to make friends with people from overseas and had various conversations. I also thought the food was delicious for a facility like this. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.

とてもよかったです。
高校、大学生の子供満喫しました。
ボードでサーフィン体験もとても難しいが楽しく、また、スライダーがとてもとても楽しくて、何度も何度も滑っていました。全く飽きず、時間いっぱいまで滑って満喫しました。ボードができるのは、列に並んだ際、海外の方と仲良くなり、いろいろ話しができたと喜んでいました。
ご飯も、こういう施設の中では美味しいと思いました。
また、ハワイに来た際は訪問したいです。

We did this dinner cruise on a Friday for the fireworks. They served lobster and steak for dinner, the lobster was a whole lobster, the meat was a little tough to chew, the steak was done to much. The show they put on after the fireworks was absolutely phenomenal, they got everyone involved. Even with the mediocre meal I still would recommend this dinner cruise.

My family had a great time at the Chief's Luau Show. We paid more for the Royal seats and received the royal treatment. I also got a free weaved bowl, went onstage, and received a bouquet of flowers since we had an anniversary >20 years. Great dancing - loved the fire show. A great show and good food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu.

I visited with my 8-year-old daughter and my wife. There are various slides to enjoy, and I think they are perfect for kids of this age. However, there were many crying children, so I recommend that those who are not fond of thrilling attractions avoid the more intense slides.

We are not particularly averse to slides, so we had fun together with our child. There was one incident during our visit; we had to take off our sandals to go down a slide, but it seems that a bee was inside my child's Crocs when we put them back on, and unfortunately, she got stung. She cried loudly, and we received treatment from the staff at the first aid station. The staff reassured us that it was a non-venomous bee, and after a simple treatment, we returned. However, for about an hour, she couldn't move due to the pain and kept crying.

During that time, I was really researching whether the bee was indeed non-venomous, and we concluded that it was probably a black hornet (which is said to be mildly venomous but causes strong pain). We debated whether to go home, but since there were no signs of hives or swelling and our child wanted to continue playing, we decided to stay. Now, four days later, I’m writing this, and since it was her first bee sting, it seems there are no particular issues.

For children who love pools, this place is a paradise. I hope everyone else enjoys their time while being careful of bees. By the way, my child says she wants to go again.

8歳の女の子の子供と妻と自分の3人で訪れました。
色々なスライダーが楽しめますし、この位の子供にはぴったりな気がしますが、泣いている子も多かったので、絶叫系のアトラクションが苦手な人は激しいスライダーに乗らない事をお勧めします。

私たちはスライダー系は特に苦手ではないので、子供と一緒に楽しみました。
途中一つハプニングがあり、スライダーはサンダルを脱がなければいかずおいて乗ったのですが、その後履く時にどうやら子供のクロックス内に蜂がいたらしい運悪く刺されてしまいました。子供はギャン泣きし、係員さんと医務室で手当てを受けました。係員さんからは毒はない蜂だから安心してと言われ、簡単な手当てを受けて戻りましたが、その後1時間くらいは痛みで動けず、子供は泣いてばかりでした。

その間本当に毒が無いか蜂について調べていましたが、多分黒スズメバチだという結論になり、(弱毒で痛みが強いらしい)様子を見て帰ろうか悩みましたが、蕁麻疹や患部の腫れ等も無かったこと、子供が遊びたがっていた事から遊びを続行しました。結論4日後にこれを書いていますが、蜂に刺されたのも初めてなので特に異常はないように思います。

プール好きな子供にとってはパラダイスです。
他の皆さんも是非蜂に気を付けて楽しんでください。ちなみに子供はまた行きたいと言っています。

Even without snorkeling experience, you can see the beautiful underwater scenery. We were able to see 6 or 7 sea turtles up close, and it felt like the little turtles were swimming alongside us. My 5-year-old child also enjoyed seeing the underwater world from the boat with windows.

シュノーケリングの経験なくともキレイに海の中が見られます。ウミガメも6,7匹間近に見られて小さなウミガメは一緒に泳いでくれるような感覚でした。
5歳の子供も窓付きのボートから海中が見えて充実していました

It was an early morning participation, but the weather was nice, and the driver was very lively and engaging. We returned on time and made it to the hotel breakfast. It was great. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing.

早朝参加でしたが、天気も良く、ドライバーさんもとても元気にお話ししてくれました。帰りも時間通りでホテルの朝食にも間に合いました。とても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドからの朝日最高でした。

I had participated in the 3-Star cruise several times before, so this was my first time on the 5-Star cruise. There was no welcome party on board, and the food was disappointing; in the end, they didn't even serve coffee. I felt that the atmosphere and food were better on the 3-Star cruise, so I will choose the 3-Star next time.

This was my first trip to Hawaii after COVID, but I noticed that the number of participants on the Star of Honolulu has decreased significantly. It felt like there was no longer the same vibrancy as before.

今まで何回か３スターに参加していたので初めての５スターの参加でした、船上でのウエルカムパーティー等もなく料理も期待外れ最後はコーヒーも出してくれませんでした。３スターの方が雰囲気も料理もよく感じました、次回から３スターにします。
コロナ後で初めてのハワイでしたがスターオブホノルルの参加人数がとても少なくなっていました、以前のような活気もなくなっていたように感じます。

The tour guides were very kind, and their explanations in Japanese were very polite and interesting, making it a lot of fun! I definitely want to participate again! Thank you! ⭐︎

ツアーガイドの方たちもとても親切で、日本語での案内も大変ご丁寧でおもしろくて、すごく楽しめました！
また絶対参加させて頂きたいです！
ありがとうございました⭐︎

When I presented the voucher at the window on the right, I was immediately given the tickets prepared under my reservation name along with a Japanese pamphlet, allowing for a smooth entry. It was disappointing that some attractions were not operational, but overall, I had a great time!

There are many attractions with height restrictions, so it might feel a bit pricey if you're visiting with small children. Of course, there are also play areas for little ones.

The all-you-can-drink soft drinks, like the flat Pepsi and somewhat diluted Tropicana, weren't very tasty.

右側の窓口でバウチャーを提示すると、すぐに予約の名前で準備されているチケットと日本語版パンフを渡され、スムーズに入場できました。
稼働していないアトラクションがあったのは残念でしたが、全体的に楽しめました！
身長制限のあるアトラクションが多いので、小さいお子様連れであれば割高に感じるかもしれません。もちろん、小さい子向けの遊び場もあります。

飲み放題のソフトドリンクは、炭酸が抜けたペプシや少し薄いトロピカーナ等、あまり美味しくありませんでした。

Even small children can enjoy it, but be careful as there are height restrictions. You will have to wait in line for lunch and drinks. You can bring in water that hasn't been opened.

小さい子も楽しめますが、身長制限があるので気をつけて。
お昼やドリンクは並びます。
水開けてないのは持ち込めます。

The dolphins were incredibly cute. You can interact with them more than I expected (though about ten people take turns). There is quite a wait time from when you enter until you actually get to interact with the dolphins. Since they are living creatures, their condition may vary... Small children (around 5 to 6 years old) can't reach, so parents need to support them. All the explanations are in English, but they also speak a little Japanese.

You can't bring any belongings, but a dedicated photographer will take pictures for you, and you can get one photo at the end from the shop. Additional purchases are also possible.

イルカがとにかく可愛かったです。思ってたよりたくさん触れあえます。（とはいえ、10人くらいが順番に）
入場してから実際にイルカと触れあうまではけっこう待ち時間あります。
生き物ですから、コンディションもあるのでしょう…
小さい子供（5歳～6歳くらい）は足が届かないので親が支えなければいけません。
説明は全て英語ですが、ちょっと日本語も話してくれます。

荷物は何も持っていけませんが、専属カメラマンが写真を撮ってくれ、最後１枚だけショップでもらえます。
追加で購入も可能です。

This was my first time participating. I took my child with me.
At the beginning of April, the weather forecast predicted cloudy skies, but there was more sunshine than expected, and the sun was strong. Sunscreen is a must.
It was a weekday, so there were fewer people. There were plenty of floaties available in the wave pool. However, there were also fewer staff members, so it felt like there were not many attractions open.
There were many Japanese people, making up over 60% of the visitors, I think. I accidentally mixed up my shoes with a similar pair, but a kind Japanese person helped me find and return them. I am truly grateful.
My child was very satisfied, and time flew by; the hours from 10:30 to 15:00 felt very short for us parents!

今回初めての参加でした。子供を連れて行きました。
４月はじめで、天気予報は曇りでしたが、晴れている時間の方が長く、日差しは強かったです。日焼け止めは必須ですね。
平日で人は少なかったです。波の出るプールでの浮き輪は充分に行き渡ってました。ただし、係員も少なく交代で行っているので、空いているアトラクションも少ない感じです。
日本人は多く、約6割を超えてたと思います。似た靴があって靴を間違えてしまいましたが、親切な日本の方が、探してくださって届けてくださいました。本当に感謝です。
子供は大満足で、時間が経つのはあっという間で、10:30から15:00は親でもとても短く感じました！

This time, we traveled as a family of five. To be honest, it was quite expensive when converted to Japanese yen, so I hesitated, but I had been interested in it for a while, so I decided to go for it.

When we actually went, the weather was nice, the sea was more beautiful than I expected, and the kids had a blast playing beach volleyball, diving, and snorkeling. The hamburgers we had for lunch were exceptionally delicious. We were able to enjoy a different kind of experience from the beach.

I'm glad we went.

今回5人家族での旅行。正直日本円に換算するとかなり高額になるので迷いましたが以前から気になっていたので思い切って申し込みました。
実際行ってみたら天気もよく、海が思った綺麗でビーチバレーや飛び込み、シュノーケルできて子供達も思い切り楽しめて、ランチのハンバーガーがとびきり美味しかったです。ビーチとは違った楽しみ方ができました。
行って良かったです。

The waiting time is longer than expected. The movement is somewhat bumpy. (I found it thrilling and fun!) As for the viewing...

待ち時間が思いの外、長いです。
移動はまぁまぁ揺れます。(僕はスリリングで楽しかったです！)鑑賞は・・・。

The wind is strong seasonally, and it feels so cold that you shiver when coming out of the sea. The staff is very kind, and there are plenty of play equipment and swimming goods, which made me satisfied. For snorkeling, the staff takes care of you kindly, so even if you're a "non-swimmer," you can participate without any problems.

季節的に風が強く、海から上がるとぶるぶる震えるほど寒く感じる。
スタッフが大変親切、遊具や遊泳グッズも充実しており満足しました。
シュノーケリングはスタッフが優しくケアーしてくれるので”かなづち”でも問題なく参加できます。

It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful

The whole experience was wonderful and memorable. We opted for a couples picture and it turned out great! We love the firework and the amazing dancers. Had a great time and would do it again!
