All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I opted for the all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but there were mostly sweet juices and not many options. The meals were mostly junk food, expensive, and not very tasty. The sliders were quite dynamic, unlike anything you would find in Japan, and I enjoyed them, but surprisingly, the kids seemed to have more fun playing freely in the hotel's deep pool. (In Hawaii, you can swim late into the night, which seems to be enjoyable for them.) Since it's quite a distance from Waikiki and not cheap, I can't really recommend it!

ソフトドリンク飲み放題にしましたが、甘いジュースばかりであまり選択肢がありませんでした。食事はジャンクフードばかりで高いしおいしくないです。スライダーはさすがに日本にはないようなダイナミックなものが多く楽しめましたが、意外にも子供たちはホテルの深いプールで自由に遊ぶほうが楽しかった様子。（ハワイのホテルだと夜遅くまで泳げるのでそれが楽しいみたいです）ワイキキから距離もありますし、お値段も安くはないので、ぜひお勧め！！とは言いがたいです。

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to see dolphins and sea turtles, so I signed up for this tour. The meeting time was around 6 AM, which was tough because I was sleepy, but during the bus ride to the west coast, the guide kept sharing information about Hawaii and explaining about the dolphins, which made it enjoyable.

When we arrived at the harbor, there was an explanation about renting wetsuits. On the day I participated, about half of the people rented them. I rented one too, and I think it was the right decision. The sun was strong, and it was hot if you stayed still, but since we were going into the ocean, the wind on the boat was much colder than I expected. Other participants who didn't rent wetsuits kept saying they were cold, so I recommend renting one!

Shortly after we set off, we arrived at a spot where we could encounter dolphins! The guide mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins so quickly, but we encountered quite a large pod. At the same time, sea turtles were swimming nearby, and it was incredibly moving! They were really cute!

Unfortunately, the plan to play on the boat was suddenly canceled due to high waves, which was disappointing, but I still had a great time! The lunch hamburger was delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that it was served cold since it was pre-made. I understand that this can't be helped, though...

Overall, I was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、イルカやウミガメが見たい！と思って申し込みました。
朝6時頃の集合になるので眠くて大変でしたが、西海岸への往路のバスでは担当の方がずーっとハワイのガイドやイルカの説明などをしてくれて楽しめました。
ハーバーに到着する際にはウェットスーツのレンタルについて説明がありましたが、わたしが参加した日は半分位の方がレンタルしていました。わたしもレンタルしましたが、これはレンタルして正解だったと思います。日差しが強く、じっとしていれば暑いのですが、なんせ海に入りますし風を切って走る船上は想像以上に寒いです。レンタルしなかった他の参加者の方は「寒い」とずっと言っていたので、レンタルされることをお勧めします！
出発してから間も無く、イルカに出会えるスポットに到着！こんなに早くたくさんのイルカに出会えるのは珍しいとガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりたくさんのイルカの群れに出会えました。また同時にウミガメも近くで泳いでおり、すごく感動しました！本当に可愛かったです！
この日は波が高く、ボート？で遊ぶ予定が急遽中止になってしまい残念でしたが、十分に楽しめました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきましたが、作ってあるものを食べるので冷めた状態なのが少し残念でした。これは仕方ないと思いますが…
全体的には大満足で、とても良い思い出になりました！

The wait time was short and everything went smoothly. The sandbar was beautiful, just as I expected. I was able to see fish while snorkeling. Additionally, I got to see sea turtles quite up close. However, for those who couldn't snorkel, there was some downtime, and I wished they could have been offered other activities to keep them engaged, as it felt a bit like waiting around.

待ち時間も少なくスムーズでした。
サンドバーは期待通り、綺麗でした。
シュノーケリングで魚をみることもできました。
また、結構近くでウミガメを見ることができました。
シュノーケリングができない方が暇な時間ができてしまうので、その方には他の遊びをやらしてあげてほしかったです。待ちぼうけ感があったので。

It's a popular tour, so both the bus and the boat were crowded. I think this tour works because Japanese people are polite and don't complain. (≧∇≦) The snorkeling time is a bit short. The sandbar has no living creatures, so we just enjoyed the sky and the sea and took photos. We had water up to our waists during high tide. I wish the price for the high tide tour was lower. The description is tricky, as it seems to imply that both breakfast and BBQ are included, depending on the departure time. We did see sea turtles, and the hamburgers were big, but the snorkeling was geared towards beginners, which was disappointing. ~_~; I would like to see a tour that properly introduces marine life.

人気のツアーなので、バスも船も混み混みで、行儀よく不満を言わない日本人だから成立するツアーかな。（≧∇≦）
シュノーケル時間は短めです。サンドバーは生き物がいないので、空と海を味わいお写真だけ。私達は満潮時で腰まで水が有りました。満潮時のツアーは料金を下げて欲しいです。出発時間によって朝食かBBQなのが、両方付いているみたいな表記がトリッキーです。海亀さんも見られましたし、ハンバーガーも大きいですが、シュノーケルは初心者向けでがっかり。~_~;
しっかり海の生物と楽しむツアーの紹介が欲しいところです。

We participated as a family of four. It was fully booked. Unfortunately, the area with white sand was submerged in the water, making it feel like we were at a sandbar, but the colors of the sky and sea were beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles quite closely. The burgers, which were grilled to perfection, were very delicious.

家族4人で参加しました。定員いっぱいでした。あいにく白い砂のところは海面につかっていて
ここがサンドバーなのかという感じでしたが、空と海の色は美しく、ウミガメにも結構そばで
あえました。じっくりやいてくれたバーガーはとてもおいしいものでした。

I participated in this tour, but unfortunately, the weather was not good, and I couldn't fully enjoy the beautiful colors of the sea and sky, which was very disappointing. It started to rain heavily, and it was quite cold on the boat.

The staff included some Japanese people, so I didn't have any trouble. Next time I participate, I would like to have a revenge on a nice day.

今回ﾂｱｰに参加させて頂きましたが、生憎の天気で
せっかくの綺麗な海と空の色が満足するように見れず、とても残念でした。
途中から強い雨が降ったりなどで、船上でもとても寒かったです。

ｽﾀｯﾌの方々は日本人の方がいたりして、困ることはありませんでした。
次参加する時は、天気の良い日にﾘﾍﾞﾝｼﾞしたいです。

Our greater was very good. There was a little confusion she held up two signs one for my grandson named young and one for us name Weiss, however, when we came off the plane she thought that she was still waiting for another person and then realized that all three were us. She even took the time to walk us to the escalator and show us where to go for baggage.

Although we were past the departure time, we waited for about 20 minutes. The sandbar was beautiful enough to see from a distance, but it was deeper than I had imagined, with a depth of about 100 cm. Also, the water temperature was surprisingly low. The sea turtle watching was a bit far away, and I was unlucky. During snorkeling, I got stung by a jellyfish and had to give up halfway; I wanted to enjoy it a bit more. There were others who got stung as well. I'm not sure if it was because of that or if the captain just liked me, but I was lucky to be allowed to steer the boat on the way back. The view from the prime seat was great.

出発時間を過ぎているのに、20分くらいは待たされた。サンドバーは遠目から見てもわかるほど綺麗だったが、想像していたよりも深く、水深100cmくらいはあった。あと水温が意外と低い。ウミガメウォッチングはちょっと遠くて、運が悪かった。シュノーケリングではクラゲに刺されて途中で断念し、もう少し楽しみたかった。他にも刺されている人がいた。そのこともあってなのか、船長に気に入られたからなのかは不明だが、帰りに操縦をさせて貰えたのはラッキーだった。特等席からの景色は良かった。

We participated as a family of five. It was very enjoyable and became the best memory. The only downside was that the sandbar was not visible above the water and was submerged.

家族5人で参加しました。
とても楽しく最高の思い出になりました。
ちょっと残念なのはサンドバーが海上に見えず水中に沈んでいたことです。

The sea in heaven was more beautiful than I imagined. Although there wasn't a sandy beach, it felt great just to walk around, and you can take wonderful photos.

I also recommend snorkeling afterward. It was an amazing experience when I encountered a sea turtle while swimming.

Lastly, when I returned to the boat after swimming, it was quite cold, so I think having a light jacket would be convenient.

天国の海は想像以上にキレイでした。砂浜が出てるわけではなかったけど、歩くだけで気持ちいいし、素敵な写真が撮れます。

またその後のシュノーケリングがオススメです。泳いでるときに海ガメと出会えたときは感動です。

最後泳いだあと船に戻ったときに、けっこう寒かったので、羽織りものがあったほうが便利と思います。

It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki (I was mostly asleep, so I’m not sure, haha) to arrive. The weather was bad along the way, with downpours like a tropical rainstorm, but it was cloudy when we got there. At least it wasn't raining, but it was quite cool.

Once on board, I sat wherever I liked and we set sail. Along the way, I saw a lot of army training planes, which was amazing! I also caught a glimpse of some sea turtles, which was nice.

When we arrived, the view was breathtaking, just like in the pictures! It was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing, but it was truly beautiful! According to the guide, the tide was the lowest it had been recently, but by the time we got off the boat and headed to the sandbar, the water was already up to my waist, haha.

The snorkeling was beautiful and a lot of fun! One thing I regret is that after swimming, it was cool, so I should have brought a change of clothes or something like a hoodie to throw on. I also brought a Ziploc bag for my phone to take pictures, but I really wish I had prepared a more serious waterproof case.

ワイキキからバスで1時間位？(ほぼ寝ててわからず(笑))で到着。
途中天気も悪くてスコールの様な雨が降ったりしたけど到着したら曇り。
雨が降ってないだけ良かったけど結構涼しかった。
乗船してから好きな席に座って出港。
道中アーミーの飛行訓練の飛行機がたくさん見れてすごかった！あと海がめも少し見れて良かった。
到着したら写真みたいな絶景！曇ってて残念だったけど本当に綺麗だった！！
ガイドさんによると最近で1番潮が引いてるって言われたけど船下りてサンドバー向かう時は
既に腰までつかっちゃう(笑)
あとシュノーケリングも綺麗で楽しかった♪
反省としては泳いだ後は涼しいから着替えかパーカー等の羽織る物をもっと持って行けば良かった。あとは写真撮るために携帯用にジップロック持ってったけど、やっぱりもっと本気の防水ケース用意して行けば良かったって後悔。。。

I was imagining a sandbar like in the picture, but due to the tides, the sandbar didn't appear, and I was in water up to my waist. However, the scenery was beautiful. I also saw a sea turtle, just a little bit. The lunch was delicious, with a hamburger made from freshly grilled meat right there.

写真のようなサンドバーを想像していたら、潮の満ち引きの関係でサンドバーは現れず腰まで水につかる感じでした。でも景色はキレイです。ウミガメも、ちょっとだけみれました。ランチはその場で焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガ―が美味しかったです。

I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.

シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので　体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました！！ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も　安心して参加できた事だと
思いました。船上で食べたバーガーも美味しかった、本当に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

We were picked up at the designated hotel and off we went to West Oahu! During the drive, our guide Julie kept the atmosphere lively with stories about Hawaii and dolphins, and before we knew it, we had arrived! We boarded the boat and set sail to see the dolphins! I had heard that the chance of seeing them was 90 percent, but there was a thrilling tension about whether we would actually see them. The staff worked hard to find a pod of dolphins, and we were able to swim close to wild dolphins!

After that, we enjoyed our time with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling! For lunch, we had homemade cheeseburgers, and we also got to enjoy sweet cut pineapple☆ Finally, we all came together for a hula dance with the staff and all the tour participants! It was a wonderful moment of unity☆ I have visited Hawaii many times, but I have never experienced such an emotional moment! This is a tour I would recommend to friends and family! I would love to participate again myself!

指定のホテルに迎えに来て下さり、いざ西オアフへ！！道中はアテンドのジュリーさんがハワイやイルカにまつわる話で車内を盛り上げてくださりあっという間に到着しました！そして船に乗り込みイルカの元へ出航！！イルカを見れる確率90パーセントとは聞いていましたが見れるか見れないかの緊張感の中、スタッフの方々が必死になってイルカの群れを探して下さり間近で野生のイルカと泳ぐことができました！！
その後はスタンディングパドルや、カヌー、シュノーケリングなどをしながらおのおのの時間を楽しみました！！ランチはお手製チーズバーガー！甘いカットパイナップルも頂けます☆そして最後はスタッフの方々、ツアー参加者全員でフラダンス！！みんなで一つになりました☆何度も訪れているハワイですがこんな感動を味わった事はありません！！友達や家族に進めたいツアーです！自分自身もまた参加したいです！！

On my third trip to Hawaii, I finally participated in the long-awaited dolphin tour. I was thrilled to encounter a large group of dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly exciting to see them, as it all depends on luck.

As for the tour details, we took a dedicated bus early in the morning and learned about Hawaii and dolphins for about an hour until we reached our destination. After that, we got on the boat and prayed in Hawaiian to see the dolphins. Once we spotted them, we dove right in, moved to different locations for snorkeling and marine sports, and had lunch on the boat. It was quite packed with activities.

However, with so many participants, everything felt like a conveyor belt. It was more about seeing the dolphins underwater than swimming with them, which was different from what I had expected.

They didn’t teach us how to swim or anything. They only signaled us to look underwater when the dolphins came.

It was disappointing, considering how many dolphins we saw.

At the snorkeling point, they were feeding the fish, which was shocking for me as a diver. However, the participants were excited because a honu came close and there were plenty of fish.

The view from the boat was uniquely Hawaiian and very nice.

The burgers and juice for lunch were not tasty, but the warm tea was good.

The return bus ride felt very commercial. It created an atmosphere for buying photos, which were expensive.

Overall, while the schedule was sufficient, the content felt like a conveyor belt, which was disappointing. It might have been better with fewer participants. Paying $150 per person for this is high. I won’t participate again.

Although I got to see the dolphins and they created a fun atmosphere, it was still a bit disappointing. There was no request for tips.

３回目のハワイ旅行で初めて、念願のイルカツアーに参加しました。
出航して直ぐにイルカの大群に遭遇でき大興奮しました。
会えるかどうかは運なので、会えて本当に嬉しかったです。

ツアーの内容としては
早朝から専用のバスに乗って、一時間ほど目的地につくまでハワイやイルカについて教えていただき
そのあと船にのってイルカにあえるようハワイ語で祈ります。
イルカを見つけたらそのままダイブ
場所を移動しシュノーケルとマリンスポーツ
船の上で昼食
と盛りだくさんでした。

でも、参加人数が多く全てが流れ作業
イルカと泳ぐというよりかは、水中でイルカを見るといった感じで思ってた感じとは違うかな～

泳ぎ方など一切教えてくれません
イルカが来たら水中を見ることだけ合図で教えてくれます。

あんなにたくさんのイルカに会えたのに残念。

シュノーケルポイントは魚にエサを与えていたので、ダイバーとしてはショックでした。
ホヌが近くまで来て魚もたくさんいたので参加者のみなさん興奮してました。

ボートから見る景色はハワイならでわでとてもよかったです。

昼食のバーガーとジュースはおいしくないです。
あったかいお茶は美味しかった。

帰りのバスは営業感満載でした。
写真を買う雰囲気にさせます。
高いです。

全体的に、スケジュールは充分なのに内容は流れ作業で残念。
少人数だったらよかったかな。
これで１人150ドルは高いです。
もぅ参加はしないです。

イルカに会えたし楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれるのに少し残念。
チップの請求はなかったです。

I was most looking forward to my trip to Hawaii.
It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy, but the sandbar was magical and beautiful.
The hamburger I had on the boat was incredibly delicious!

ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていました。
空は曇っていたのが残念でしたが、サンドバーは幻想的で綺麗でした。
船の上で頂くハンバーガーはすごく美味しかったです！

Staff was excellent. They tended to all our needs with Aloha service. A must do trip when staying on the island.

I was able to see dolphins perfectly in the beautiful, crystal-clear sea like a pool! The staff dove in and took pictures of sea turtles with my waterproof camera. It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime. Thank you! The staff were kind and cheerful, and everyone was happy to take commemorative photos. The dolphin plush toys they gave as souvenirs to the kids were so cute that I want to participate again when I have children! (laughs)

プールのように透き通ったきれいな海で親子イルカがバッチリ見れました！
私が持参した防水カメラで、スタッフの方が潜ってウミガメの写真を撮ってくれました。一生の思い出です。ありがとうございます！優しくて陽気なスタッフさん達でみんな気軽に記念撮影もしてくれました。
キッズにお土産で渡していたイルカのぬいぐるみがとても可愛かったので子供ができたらまた参加したいです！(笑)

We had an amazing time. Would recommend to anyone. Fun for all ages

I heard rumors that it was delicious, so I went to check it out, and it was really tasty. There were many varieties of wine, and it had a great atmosphere!

噂で美味しいと聞いて行って見ましたが本当に美味しかった。
ワインの種類も多くてとてもいい感じでした！

Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. It was my first time going on a sandbar tour, and I was impressed by the beautiful gradient of the sea! The weather was great, and I was satisfied with all the photos I took.

Snorkeling was also fun, as I saw a lot of fish. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, although some people did spot them. Personally, I found the hamburger for lunch to be very delicious.

新婚旅行で参加しました。サンドバーのツアーに行くのは初めてでしたが、海のグラデーションがとてもきれいで感激しました！天気も良く、写真もたくさんとれて満足しました^ ^
シュノーケリングもたくさん魚が見れて楽しかったです。残念ながら海ガメは見ることはできませんでした(^_^;)見つけてる方もいましたが。
個人的には、昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです^ ^

During the location tour, there were views that reminded me of Jurassic Park, and the sea was beautiful during the cruise, and the guide was very friendly.

ロケ地めぐりでは、あのジェラシックパークで見た景色があり、クルーズでは海がきれいでしたし、案内の方も新設でした。

I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.

Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.

Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.

On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!

　仕事仲間１０人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
　朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド（２０ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入）も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
　泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
　クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
　また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。

Had a great time. I always enjoy snorkeling here as there are allways lots of fish and warm clear water.

I was able to swim close to wild dolphins! And it was just about 5 to 10 minutes after we set sail! I was surprised! I had some anxiety, but thanks to the guide's careful instructions, I was able to fully enjoy the experience! It became the best memory!

野生のイルカと近くで泳ぐことができました！しかも、出航して5〜10分ぐらいで！びっくり！不安もありましたが、ガイドさんの丁寧な案内でしっかり楽しむことができました！最高の思い出になりました！

I arrived about an hour after low tide, but the water depth was around 20 centimeters, and there were no sandy areas visible as shown in the photos. As mentioned in other reviews, it seems that the area where boats can dock is determined by the company, and larger boats were parked in the areas where the sand was visible. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really fun. I almost didn't have enough time!

干潮から1時間後くらいに到着しましたが、水深は20センチくらいで写真のように砂地が見えているところはありませんでした。
他の方の口コミにもありましたが、会社によって船を泊められるエリアが決まっているようで、砂地が見えているエリアには大きな船が泊まっていました。
それでも景色はきれいでしたし、ウミガメも見れて本当に楽しかったです。時間が足りないくらいでした！

From the start, just 10 minutes?! We encountered a pod of dolphins! We were able to meet a group of wild dolphins! The guide was fluent in Japanese, which made it very easy to understand and was really great!

スタート開始から、10分？！
イルカの群れに遭遇ヽ(*＾ω＾*)野生のイルカの群れと会うことができました！ガイドさんも日本語ペラペラでわかりやすくとてもよかったです！

What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone

I was able to experience almost all the pool attractions, and it was fun! Since there are almost no clocks, I thought having a waterproof watch would be reassuring. Also, make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen, or you'll end up regretting it later... crying. For lunch, it was a BBQ buffet, but there were fewer options than I expected. The all-you-can-drink was really great! I want to go again next time! ★

プールのアトラクションはほとんど体験することができて、楽しかったです！
時計がほぼないので、防水の時計があると安心かなと思いました。
あとは、日焼け止めはたっぷり塗らないと後から悲惨なことになります・・・泣
お昼御飯はBBQビュッフェとのことでしたが、種類も少なく期待とは少し違った感じでした。
ドリンク飲み放題はとてもよかったです！
また次回も行きたいです★
