All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I wanted to swim with dolphins, so I joined the Dolphin & You tour.

On the day of the tour, I arrived at the hotel meeting point at 4:40 AM. The bus to the port was very clean.

During the bus ride, there were explanations in Japanese about the rental of wetsuits ($10 per person), photo services (the combined cost for photos and videos was around $100), and the price for motion sickness wristbands (I can't remember how much that was), as well as safety tips for when we encountered dolphins. Since we had experienced extreme cold on the previous day's tour, we decided to rent wetsuits and also signed up for the photo and video package as a special memory. By the way, the water temperature was low, and even with the wetsuits, it was still cold, so I recommend renting a wetsuit, bringing a large towel, and if possible, bringing a change of clothes during this season! Those who signed up for photos received silicone bands to prioritize photo opportunities underwater.

Upon arriving at the port, we stopped by the restroom, and then wetsuits (only for those who signed up) and snorkeling gear were distributed before boarding a small boat. When we participated, there were about 30 participants, so the boat was full.

We headed to the first spot where we could encounter dolphins, and while snorkeling, we first saw a seal. This seal is said to be very rare, with only about 1,200 individuals living in the area, so we were very lucky to see it. We were able to snorkel to our heart's content while watching many dolphins swimming right in front of us and jumping a little further away at two different spots.

After that, we moved to a different location where we played with snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and a slide from the boat, and we had cheeseburgers and potato chips. Then, we watched a hula dance, received tattoo stickers, and returned to the port, where we took a final group photo with the staff and all participants before heading back to the hotel by bus.

I was able to see many dolphins, and all the staff were friendly, making it a very satisfying tour!

イルカと泳いでみたいと思い、ドルフィン＆ユーのツアーに参加しました。

当日は、午前４時４０分にホテルの集合場所へ。港へ向かうバスはとてもきれいなバスでした。

バスの中では日本語で、ウェットスーツの貸し出し(１人１０ドル)や、写真の案内(写真と動画は合わせて、たしか１００ドル)、酔い止めのリストバンドの案内(いくらだったかな？)、イルカに出会ったときの注意点などの説明がありました。
私たちは、前日のツアーで死ぬほど寒い思いをしたので、ウェットスーツを、また、せっかくの記念にと、写真と動画を申し込みました。ちなみに、実際水温が低くウェットスーツを来ていても寒かったので、この時期はウェットスーツを借りること、大きめのバスタオルを持っていくこと、できれば着替えも持っていくことをおすすめします！
写真を申し込んだ人には、水中で優先的に写真を撮るためということで、シリコンバンドが配られました。

港に着くと、トイレに寄り、その後ウェットスーツ(もちろん申し込んだ人のみ)とシュノーケリンググッズが配られ、小型の船に乗り込みます。私たちが参加した時は、３０人ぐらいの参加者がいたので、船は満員でした。

最初のイルカと出会えるスポットへ行き、シュノーケリングをしていると、まずアザラシを見ることができました。そのアザラシは、１２００頭ほどしか生息しない、とても希少なアザラシだそうで、見ることができてとてもラッキーでした。
また、たくさんのイルカが目の前を泳いだり、少し離れたところでジャンプしていたりと、２か所のスポットで思う存分イルカを見ながらシュノーケリングすることができました。

その後、違うスポットに場所を移し、シュノーケリングやカヤック、スタンドアップパドル、船からの滑り台で遊び、チーズバーガーとポテトチップスを食べました。
そしで、フラダンスを見たり、タトゥーシールをもらったりしながら、港へと戻り、最後にスタッフの方や参加者全員で写真を撮ってから、バスでホテルへと戻りました。

たくさんのイルカに会うことができましたし、スタッフの方もみなさんフレンドリーで大満足のツアーでした！！

I was amazed by the vastness that is unimaginable in Japan during the location tour. The jungle tour allowed me to experience the rugged jungle.

ロケ地めぐりは日本では考えられない広大さに驚きました。ジャングルツアーでは険しいジャングルを体験できました。

I was able to go without a shuttle. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it was windy and cold on the boat. I wore my swimsuit just in case, but the water didn't recede as much as I thought, and I couldn't get out of the water without getting waist-deep, so I just stayed in the water and enjoyed the scenery. For the meal, I had a sandwich and juice, but since it was cold, I wished I had some warm coffee.

送迎なしで行けました。あいにく曇り空で船の上は風が吹いて寒い日でした。水着は一応着て行きましたが思っていたほど海水が引かず腰までつからなければ砂に上がれないので海水に入らず景色を見ていました。食事は、サンドイッチとジュースですが寒いので、暖かいコーヒーが欲しかったです。

We have been to Hawaii a couple of times and have been to most if the luaus, but we think the Chiefs Luau has been the best one by far. The food and drinks were very good and the location is very beautiful. The Chief was very funny and the whole show was very entertaining- great hula dancers and exeptional fire dancers. If you are staying on Oahu, do yourselves a favour and go see the Chiefs Luau - you won't be disappointed.

You can enjoy sea activities and turtle watching at the sandbar after moving 3 points by boat, as well as snorkeling. The turtles were especially cute. We split into two boats, one for Japanese guests and one for international guests. Onboard, we had a hamburger lunch, and after snorkeling, warm drinks were provided. The boat was comfortable, equipped with restrooms, and there was no worry about theft of valuables. However, on bad weather days, it might be a bit cold after snorkeling. Since it can be chilly when wet, a beach towel is essential, and it would also be good to have a towel to sit on during the bus ride back. The snorkeling point may vary depending on the day's wave conditions, but the visibility was not as high as expected, around 5 meters. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles; on the day we participated, some people did swim with them. I definitely want to join again on a nice day, but since it's a popular tour, it's necessary to make a reservation early. The weather in Hawaii can change quickly even during the rainy season, so even if rain is forecasted, there may be sunny intervals, so you can relax.

船で3ポイント移動して、サンドバーでの海遊びとウミガメウォッチング、スノーケリングを楽しめます。
特にウミガメが可愛かったです。
船は2台に分かれて乗りましたが、１つは日本人向け、１つはインターナショナルです。
船の中でハンバーガーのランチが頂けたり、スノーケリングの後は暖かいドリンクも用意されていて、また、トイレ完備、貴重品盗難の心配もない、快適な空間でした。
ただし、天気が悪い日は、スノーケリングの後、少し寒いかもしれません。
濡れていると寒いので、ビーチタオルは必須ですが、帰りのバスでお尻の下に敷くタオルもあると良いでしょう。
スノーケリングポイントはその日の波の状況にもよると思いますが、思いの外透明度は高くありませんでした。5メートルくらいでしょうか。
運が良ければ、ウミガメと一緒に泳げます。実際に参加した日もウミガメと泳げた人もいました。
また、天気がいい日に是非参加したいところですが、人気のツアーのため、早めに予約しておく必要があります。
ハワイの天気は雨季でもコロコロ変わるので、雨の予報でも晴れ間は出ますので、安心して下さい。

I went to Sandbar, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, for my honeymoon. There were a lot of customers, and they made burgers on the boat, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and sea turtle watching. However, the weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't play in the water. My husband enjoyed snorkeling by himself, though.

I recommend checking the tide schedule and making a reservation in advance since the water level changes with the tides. The shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning, so please bring a warm outer layer. Also, I saw someone who got injured by bumping into coral, so I think it's best to stay away from the coral while snorkeling to enjoy it safely.

前から行ってみたかったサンドバーへ新婚旅行で行きました。
とても沢山のお客さんで船ではバーガーを作ってくれたり、シュノーケルや海ガメウォッチングなど楽しかったです。
ただ…天気が曇りだったので肌寒く海遊びができませんでした。
主人は一人でシュノーケル楽しんでましたが…
また潮の満ち引きで水位が変わるため、事前に調べて予約を取ることをお勧めします。
送迎のバスは冷房が効きすぎて寒いので厚手の羽織物を持参してください。
あとは珊瑚に足をぶつけてケガしていた人もいるので、シュノーケルする際は珊瑚に近づきすぎない様にすれば安全に楽しめると思います。

The guides were very kind, and the explanations were very easy to understand. I was able to see sea turtles clearly, so I was very satisfied! However, due to the timing of my visit, there were no completely exposed sandy areas, and there was a problem with the meeting point where I was almost forgotten, which nearly caused me to miss the shuttle bus.

ガイドのみなさん、とても親切で、解説もとてもわかりやすかったです。ウミガメもしっかり観れたのでここは大満足！ただ、訪れたタイミングの問題で、完全に砂場が出ている場所がなかったのと、待ち合わせ場所で忘れられてしまい、あやうく乗り合いバスに乗れなくなりそうになった誘導の問題があった点が残念。

I joined this tour because I wanted to enjoy not only the ocean but also the pool in Hawaii. It was a bit far from the center of Waikiki, so the round-trip shuttle service was very helpful. Additionally, since it was an all-you-can-drink plan, I only had to show the coupon on my wrist to get drinks, which was very convenient as I didn't need to carry my wallet.

Inside the park, there were about ten large water slides. The scale was larger and the thrill factor was higher than at Toshimaen in Tokyo. However, perhaps because it was a less crowded time, the slides were not operating continuously during the park's opening hours and would sometimes pause. Therefore, I recommend riding your favorite slides while they are open. We played for about three and a half hours starting from 10:30, which allowed us to go on each slide twice. You cannot bring drinks or food into the park, so you will need to purchase lunch inside. Ultimately, we started changing around 14:00, took the bus back around 15:00, and were dropped off at the nearest bus stop around 16:00. You can expect the total time commitment to be from morning until evening.

Regarding the park's facilities, there are two sizes of lockers, and we rented one large locker for the two of us. It was big enough to fit about two large tote bags, and once you rent it, you can access it as many times as you want, so I recommend renting one. The large locker cost $18. There were also about four shower rooms and around eight changing rooms with curtains.

I believe both adults and families with children can enjoy it, as there were also pools for kids. If you want a thrilling experience in addition to relaxing by the sea, I definitely recommend participating!

ハワイで海だけでなく、プールも楽しみたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。ワイキキの中心地からは高速で移動と少し遠いので、往復送迎が付いていてとても助かりました。またドリンク飲み放題のプランだったため、腕についているクーポンを見せるだけで飲み物が飲め、わざわざお財布を持っていく必要が無く、とても便利でした。
　パーク内は大きなウォータースライダーが１０本ほどありました。東京の豊島園よりも規模は大きくスリリング度も高かったです。ただ空いている時期だったためか、スライダーはパークの開園時間中ずっとやっているわけではなく、一時中断になることがありました。そのため気に入ったスライダーはやっている間にたくさん乗ることをおすすめします。10:30から3時間30分程遊び続け、すべてのスライダー×２本ずつを巡れる感じです。事前に飲み物やご飯は持ち込めないので、お昼はパーク内で購入する形になります。最終的に14:00時過ぎに着替え初め、15:00頃に帰りにバスに乗り、16：00頃に最寄りのバス停で降ろしてもらえました。拘束時間は朝から夕方くらいと思ってもらえれば大丈夫です。
　パーク内の設備に関して以下で説明します。ロッカーはサイズが二種類あり、私たちは二人で大きいロッカー一つを借りました。大きな手提げが二つくらい入るサイズで、一つ借りてしまえば、何度でも出し入れできるので、借りることをお勧めします。大きいロッカーは１８ドルでした。また更衣室はシャワールームが４つほど、カーテン付き更衣室が８つほどありました。
　大人はもちろんのこと、家族連れの方も子供用のプールもあったため、楽しめると思います。のんびり海も素敵ですがスリリングな経験もしたいという方はぜひ、参加してみてください。

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)

We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.

It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.

I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

I was nervous at first during my first snorkeling experience. However, I will never forget the excitement and surprise of seeing the dolphins! I want to see those beautiful dolphins underwater again.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、初めは緊張しました。でも、イルカを見た瞬間の感動と驚きは忘れません！美し過ぎるイルカをもう一度海の中で見たいです。

This tour made us reflect on the significance of this sacred memorial for all
armed forces and what they do to keep us safe. We could reflect on the fact that people forget themselves and do whatever it takes in a time of need and unite toward a common goal. This site is not just about the US but about all nations of the world coming together to strive for peace.

My first time in Hawaii,
I participated with my husband, feeling excited.
The Japanese-speaking guide, the beautiful sunrise, the clear ocean,
wild dolphins, sea turtles, and rays.
Everything became the best memory.
The crew was all very friendly,
and you could feel the teamwork.
I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even for those who usually don’t get seasick!
There was someone who looked like they were struggling in a sitting position on the boat, saying, "I’ve never been seasick before..." with teary eyes. Better safe than sorry!
After all, we’re dealing with wild dolphins.
Of course, there are times when you might not see them.
However, no tour guarantees that you will see wild dolphins.
It seemed like it was a tough day for us too,
and we didn’t see them much, but we still had a great time otherwise, so I was very satisfied.
The guide, Tairiku, was really funny!
I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii.

初めてのハワイ、
ドキドキしながら夫婦で参加しました。
日本語でのガイド、綺麗な朝日、透き通る海、
野生のイルカとウミガメにエイ。
何をとっても最高の思い出になりました。
クルーの方もみんなとっても仲良し、
チームワークを感じます。
「いつも、船酔いしないから大丈夫」という人でも念のため酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします！
キラキラの海の中、終始、船の中で辛そうに体育座りをしている人が「酔った事なかったのに…」と涙目でした。念には念を！
相手は野生のイルカです。
もちろん会えない時もあります。
ですがどこのツアーも野生のイルカに会える事を確約するツアーではないです。
私達の時も難しい日だったらしく
あまり会えませんでしたがそれ以外でも楽しませてもらえたので大満足です。
ガイドのタイリクさんとっても面白い方でした！
ハワイに行く時はまた必ず参加します。

Such a fun excursion! I went with my family and this was fun for everyone. We got to see sea turtles and all sorts of native fish! The fish even came right up next to the boat. They took us out to where they saw dolphins the other day and while we didn't see any it was still a beautiful view. The staff were fun and informative and the boat was very clean and well maintained. The staff were quick to point out any local landmarks or points of interest and were very funny. I would definitely recommend this!

Oh, and be sure to try the house cocktail! They don't skimp on their pours ;) I'd also recommend getting the souvenir cup, you get twice the drink for your ticket and a cool cup to remember your trip by!

I applied from Japan and was looking forward to it. However, the pickup scheduled for 9:00 did not arrive even after 20 minutes, and after confirming by phone, we waited another 20 minutes. The pickup finally arrived 40 minutes late. Moreover, the staff who came to pick us up didn't apologize at all and had an attitude as if to say, "Hurry up!" After arriving at the pool, we were inexplicably made to wait for nearly 15 minutes on the bus, which was extremely frustrating. How about improving your timing and organization a bit? I won't be using this service again.

日本から申し込みをして、楽しみにしてました。
ただ９時にピックアップの予定が２０分過ぎても迎えが来ず、電話確認をしてからさらに２０分。
迎えが来たのは予定時間より４０分も遅れてのこと。
しかも迎えに来たスタッフは一言も謝りもせず、急げょ！みたいな態度。
プールに到着してからもバスの中で何故か１５分近くも待たされイライラもピークです。
もう少し時間や体制を改善したらいかがでしょう？
次はもう使用しません。

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Spirit of Aloha!
The departing location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. The check-in was fast and after we boarded the Captain gave us a safety briefing and we started the sail.
The appetizers were good, they have a small buffet line with wings, meatballs and dried snacks. The bar has a selection of draft beer, champagne and cocktails and the prices are very reasonable. Watching the sunset in Hawaii listening to good music, cocktails and friends was the highlight of trip. The views from Waikiki are amazing and at this time of the year, after the sunset we still got to sail under the starts and it was very relaxing. Make sure to include this cruise on your next trip to Hawaii!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

It was tough to gather early in the morning, but I heard that the best time to see dolphins is in the early morning, so I persevered.
As a reward for my efforts, I was moved to see so many dolphins! They swam close to us multiple times.
The crew was entertaining and amazing! The hula dance was also fun.
The hamburger after swimming with the dolphins was exceptional!

早朝で集合が早く大変でしたがイルカを見るなら早朝が良いと聞き頑張りました。
頑張ったご褒美♡イルカがたくさん見れ感動！何度も近くを泳いでくれました。
クルーの人たちを面白く最高！フラダンスも楽しかったです。
イルカと泳いだ後のハンバーガーは格別でした！

In late November, the water temperature was a bit low, so I rented a wetsuit. Since it was morning, I think I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I hadn't worn one (^_^;) The guide, who spoke fluent Japanese, and the other staff members were all bright and friendly.

After heading out to sea for a while, we were able to encounter a lot of dolphins right away! We watched quietly without making any noise to avoid startling them. There was a briefing beforehand about the precautions when encountering dolphins and turtles. I thought it was wonderful that they showed consideration for the wildlife. We also saw about 3 or 4 turtles and around 4 rays. Plus, we even saw a double rainbow!ヽ(^0^)ﾉ

After that, we played on the slide from the boat and kayaked, then enjoyed hamburgers to wrap up the tour. I was just a bit hungry, so it was appreciated. Additionally, a group photo of everyone was sent via email, which I thought was a nice service.

The highlight of this tour is not just seeing dolphins from the boat, but being able to see wild dolphins up close! My first trip to Hawaii turned out to be a wonderful experience (*^o^*). I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

11月後半で、水温は少し低めなので、ウェットスーツをレンタルしました。朝ということもあり、しなかったら寒くて楽しめなかったと思います(^_^;)
流暢な日本語を話すガイドさんをはじめ、他のスタッフの方も明るく親切な方ばかりでした。

沖の方に出てしばらくするとすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会う事ができました！驚かさないよう、音をたてずにじーっと見ました。
事前に、イルカとカメに出会った時の注意事項の説明がありました。野生の生き物に対する配慮もあり、素晴らしい思いました。
そして、カメも3、4匹、エイも4匹ほど見ることが出来ました。あと、ダブルレインボーもヽ(^0^)ﾉ

その後、船からの滑り台やカヤックなどで遊んで、ハンバーガーをいただきツアー終了。ちょうど小腹がすいていたので有り難かったです。
あと、全員の集合写真がメールで送られてきていて、それも良いサービスだなと思いました。

船からイルカを見るのではなく、野生のイルカを間近に見れるのがこのツアーのポイントですね！
初ハワイ、素敵な旅行になりました(*^o^*)
友達にもすすめたいと思いました。

This was a simply breathtaking afternoon. Oahu is extremely varied, with cliffs, valleys and beaches, alternating between shades of blue, green, white and red. You don't really notice it from the ground, but seeing it all from high above has given me a new appreciation for the island. Our pilot made us feel safe and secure the entire time, and the chance to do an exciting landing along a narrow ridge at the top of Ka'a'awa Valley only made the experience that much more incredible.

I'm glad I choose to celebrate birth on the island 30 years ago with Star of Honolulu. Best birthday ever!!

I joined this tour dreaming of beautiful sandy beaches on my first trip to Hawaii. However, due to strong winds, slightly high waves, and high tide, we couldn't see the sandbar at all. While I understand that the strong winds and high waves, along with poor water clarity, are due to the weather, I wish they had announced the high tide in advance since that is something that can be known beforehand. I was imagining a beautiful sandy beach, so I was very disappointed.

初めてのハワイで素敵な砂浜を夢見てこのツアーに参加しました。しかし、風が強く、波も少し高く、満ち潮だった為サンドバーは全く見れませんでした。風が強く、波も高くなり、海の透明度が悪いのは天候なので仕方ありませんが、満ち潮は事前に分かることなのでアナウンスしてもらいたかったです。綺麗な砂浜を想像していたので、非常にガッカリしました。

Great experience overall, from the ground crew to the flight. This is definitely thee best way to see the island and the best option if you are staying on the West Side of the island / Ko Olina resorts.

The pilot is very experienced, polite and knowledgeable. The flight was very exciting and gave us an amazing sights of the island. Even if you don't get a window seat you still get a great view. The aircraft have a two way communication between the pilot and the guest, so while he is talking storied about the location you can ask questions and he will answer.
Oahu is just an wonderful place, we saw Hanauma Bay; Diamond Head; Waikiki beach; Pearl Harbor; the unique Kaneohe bay and the sandbar; the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are mesmerizing, makes you feel like you are at Jurassic Park; the famous beaches on the North Shore, Kaena Point and the beautiful West Coast.
If you have the chance add the land on top of Kualoa Ranch mountains, the pilot surprised us with champagne, drinks and chocolate covered strawberries. Very romantic addition to the tour.
It's a long flight, make sure to bring a bottle of water and got to the bathroom before the flight.

I would recommend Paradise Helicopters to everybody!

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

Overall experience was fantastic. Felt like a condensed cruise trip. Need to make sure you don't eat the trip away because they keep bringing food and before you know it you are back to the dock. Good entertainment staff.

The tour was great but just one thing; they don't have prescription boggles.

I was trying to buy or rent them,
but the website said there are a few of them and a person who called for a confirmation a day before the tour said the same thing, so I didn't bring them.
It turned out they don't carry them anymore.

That was kinda annoying.

I think this tour is quite affected by the weather. It was a day with heavy rain and strong winds, to the point where I wondered if such weather even occurs in Hawaii, but the tour went ahead. On the bus ride there, the intensity of the rain had everyone’s spirits low. Such days might be rare, but the water was cold, and the sandbar was submerged and not visible, making me feel like I wanted my money back. Additionally, the hamburgers being prepared on the boat were terrible for the price we paid.

このツアーは天気にかなり左右されると思います。ハワイでもこんな天気があるのかというぐらいに大雨で風の強い日でしたが、ツアーは決行されました。行きのバスの中はあまりの雨の強さに、参加者の皆さんのテンションも低めでした。こんな日は珍しいのかもしれませんが、水も冷たく、サンドバーも水の中に沈んで見えず、お金を返して欲しい気分になりました。またハンバーガーも船内で作っていてこの値段でこの食事？というぐらいに酷いものでした。

It was disappointing that we couldn't see the beautiful scenery due to the cloudy weather during the rainy season. However, we did see sea turtles!! After snorkeling, when we returned to the boat, it started to rain and it got cold, so it might be a good idea to have about two bath towels when the weather is bad. The guide was very cheerful, which was great.

雨季の為曇で良い景色というのがみられず残念。
でも、海亀はみれました！！
シュノーケルした後船に戻ったあと雨が降り出して寒くて凍えましたので、天気悪いときはバスタオル2枚くらいあった方がよいかも。
ガイドの方がとても明るくてよかったです。

Last year, I came to meet dolphins for the first time and was moved to see a pod of dozens of them. When I decided to go to Hawaii this year, I immediately thought I absolutely wanted to go again and planned my schedule accordingly for the day.

The weather was great, the sea was calm, and we all expressed our gratitude to the ocean as the boat headed to Makua Beach, where we spotted dolphins jumping in the distance! Following our guide, we entered the water, and dozens of dolphins came to greet us. Among them were baby dolphins, and although I felt a bit torn not to stress them out, we moved on to the next beach for snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and enjoying the slide and trampoline.

For lunch, the captain grilled hamburgers on the boat, which were delicious. After enjoying a leisurely meal, our guide Saki introduced everyone again, and we all danced together. Even on the way back to the harbor, the staff entertained us with ukulele and hula, which I found impressive. Everyone enjoyed the tour with smiles and without getting bored.

It seems that swimming with dolphins is becoming more challenging, and I hope it continues in the future. I want to participate again next time, and I hope to capture the expressions of the dolphins.

昨年、初めてイルカに会いに来て、数十頭の群れに会えた感動を、今年、HAWAIIに行く事をきめた段階で、最初に今年も絶対に行きたいと思いスケジュールを組み、当日を迎えました。

天気も上々、海は凪、海への感謝をみんなで唱えボートは、マクアビーチへ、遠くでジャンプしているイルカを発見！！
ガイドさんに続いて海へ、数十頭のイルカが会いにきてくれました。
中には、こどものイルカも、ストレスをかけないように、後ろ髪ひかれながらも次のビーチで、シュノーケリング、パドルボート、カヤック、すべり台にトランポリンとそれぞれに楽しみ
ランチは、キャプテンが船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーに舌鼓
のんびり食事を楽しんだあとは、

ガイドのSAKIさんが、改めて紹介しながらゲストのみんなも一緒にダンスをしたり、
港に戻る間もスタッフが、ウクレレやフラで楽しませてくれるサービス精神は感心しました。
みんな飽きることなく笑顔でツアーを楽しでいました。

イルカと泳ぐことが、厳しくなっている現実があるようで、なんとか今後も続いて欲しいし、
また次回参加したいし、
今度は、イルカの表情を写してみたいと思ってます。

Absolutely amazing! Overall Tour was very well organized and the views breathtaking! Leroy our tour guide was the best!

We were picked up on time by a friendly driver who explained everything we needed to know regarding our hike. He was right on with his explanation. We walked along with several others up the trails which we easy then got to some of the curves and switchbacks where the footing was a little difficult. Be sure to wear good tennis shoes or hiking boots not sandals or heels for this hike. We came to a series of steps that were steep then into a tunnel that was a few minutes long. Outside the tunnel there were 2 routes to the top. One set of steps much steeper than the other but can stop and rest along the way if needed. Once on the top the views were spectacular and well worth the climb. I'm 65 years old and have 3 stents in my hear and made this "moderate " hike with only a few stops. There are some rough areas in this hike so people with walkers, wheel chairs and buggies will not make it. We will definitely do this event next time we're in Hawaii. We did the hike up to the top, looked around for 15-20 minutes and hiked back down in 1 - 1/2 hours.
