All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I really enjoyed the scenery of the movie, the ocean, the horses, and the jeep!

However, the lunch buffet was quite disappointing with no salad, hardly any rice, and the lady who started cleaning up... I ended up eating mashed potatoes instead of rice.
Since lunch times are set, our group was probably the last to eat. I wish they would at least ensure that all items are available until the last group.

Also, I was looking forward to the lively atmosphere on the bus as mentioned in the reviews, but the microphone was broken and there was a quiet man, so I couldn't even hear the explanations.

The activities were fun, but there might be some hits and misses otherwise.

So, I give it three stars.

映画の景色、海、馬、ジープと、とても楽しめました！

ただ、ランチバイキングは、サラダなし、ごはんほとんどなし、片付け始めてるおばさん、、、で、かなり残念。ごはんの代わりにマッシュポテト食べました。。
ランチ時間も設定されるので、私達のグループはランチ時間最終組だったのでしょう。
せめて最終組まで全品残るようにして欲しいです。

あと、行きのバスの中から盛り上がるとのクチコミ見て楽しみにしてましたが、マイク壊れてる&大人しい男性で、説明の声さえ聞こえませんでした。

アクティビティは楽しいけど、あとは当たりハズレがあるかも。

で、星3つです。

The sandbar appears on the surface due to the tides, and it seems that it can only be accessed at night on the day of the full moon. The sea was beautiful, and I walked as far as I could while taking photos. On the way to the snorkeling point, I saw many sea turtles and made a wish. After entering the water for snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in a coral nook! We locked eyes and swam together. I was told not to touch them, so I didn't, but the sea turtle swam so close that I could almost reach out! It was truly moving! This was my first experience like this. Just thinking about it brings back such a happy feeling.

サンドバーが表層に現れるのは月の満ち引きとかで当日なら夜でないとダメらしかったけど、海はきれいで、どこまでも歩いていけて写真をとりました。シュノーケルのポイントにいくまでに沢山の海亀を見て、願い事をしました。シュノーケルで海に入ってしばらくしたら珊瑚の窪みに海亀が！目が合い、見つめあって海亀と一緒に泳ぎました。触ったらダメと言われてたので触らなかったけど、本当に近く　触れるところを海亀が泳いで！感動！！こんな体験は始めてです。思い出すと幸せな気分がよみがえります。

My 3-year-old daughter is really into Jurassic Park, so I thought it would be perfect to participate. Although the activities we could join were limited, we had a great time enjoying nature in each one.

3歳の娘がジュラシックパークにはまっているので、ちょうどいいと思い参加しました。
参加できるアクティビティが限られてしまいましたが、それぞれで自然を満喫できて楽しかったです。

I researched optional tours online in Japan beforehand! Choosing the major Veltra tour was definitely the right decision! There were Japanese staff members, so I think Japanese people can enjoy it without any trouble! The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious too! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a turtle that was over a meter long up close! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend this reasonably priced tour!

事前に日本でネットでオプショナルツアーについてリサーチしました！
やはりメジャーなveltraのツアーにして正解でした！
日本人のスタッフもいて、日本人も困ることなく十分に楽しめると思います！
ランチのＢＢＱハンバーガーも美味かったですよ！
シュノーケリングでは運良く１メートル以上あるカメを間近に見ることができました！サンドバーはめちゃくちゃきれいで、リーズナブルなツアーでオススメします！

This was the second time we did this dinner Cruise but this time we took our family with us. We were not disappointed. The care with the service and entertainment was excellent. We would gladly recommend this everyone. The only problem was that my wife does not eat crab but made do with what was available to eat.

Fantastic view, great food, enjoyable entertainment, friendly and professional staff. Felt like king and queen for the night.

We went on the afternoon cruise on Valentine's Day 2016 that was suppose to leave at 3 p.m. We ended up leaving about 15 minutes late because we had to wait for a van coming from Waikiki with more riders and they were late. We did see whales about 2 miles off the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel. The crew was very friendly and we enjoyed the open bar. It was like a whale watching party on someone's private boat! We had so much fun, that we booked the 5:30 p.m. boat cruise that very same day! Again, the only disappointment was that the boat was suppose to depart at 5:30 p.m., but this time it did not depart until 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes later!) because again, we were waiting on a van that had gone to hotels in Waikiki to pick up more riders and they were late due to traffic. Our boat cruise was cut short by 45 minutes and we only stayed out on the ocean until 7 p.m. so we felt cheated out of ocean time. Again, the crew was friendly but when I pay to spend time on the ocean, I expect and want to spend the entire one and a half hours on the ocean. In the future, I would suggest to the boat company, not to wait for a late van of riders and penalize those who were on time. Or, make sure that your riders get their full time on the ocean by staying out longer if you depart late.

All Americans should take this opportunity to spend the day at Pearl. It is vitally important to understand what our freedom is about. To appreciate what others have sacrificed for all of us makes us very proud and very blessed.

I participated with the intention of visiting the sandbar, but it seems that landing on the beach is only possible at limited times. That was a bit disappointing, but I was happy to see many sea turtles while snorkeling. The hamburger was also delicious.

サンドバー目当てで参加しましたが、砂浜に上陸できるのは、限られた時だけなのですね。
そこは少し残念でしたが、ウミガメがたくさん見られて、シュノーケリングしながらも見られて嬉しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。

Overall the cruise was pretty great. Every time ive been i get sea sick and usually its very easy to get the drink mixture for seasickness but my waiter sucked he was unprofessional and never came back without tracking him down. If that wasnt bad enough he never came back to give me more crab legs. Thats one of the main reasons my wife and come on this cruise. This experience was worse than before. I feel as though maybe he was new.i WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this cruise to anybkdy looking for something nice for a date night.

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was the most beautiful ocean I have ever seen. The water was about knee-deep that day, but it sparkled beautifully in the sunlight. I encountered many sea turtles, which made me feel so happy. The staff were also fun, and it became a wonderful memory.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こんなに美しい海は初めてです。この日は膝くらいの深さでしたが、とにかく太陽の日差しでキラキラ輝き美しかったです。海亀にもたくさん遭遇して、幸せな気分になりました。スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて良い思い出になりました。

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Pearle Harbor, the Punchbowl - Pacific memorial cemetery and Honolulu! Ti was a great tour guide. We didn't want a whole day tour and this was perfect.

We woke up early and went, and we were able to see whales beautifully, so the whole family was satisfied and came back happy. If we have the chance to come to Hawaii again in winter, I would like to participate again.

朝早起きして行きましたが見事にクジラを見ることが出来て家族全員満足して帰ってきました、また冬にハワイに来る機会が有れば参加してみたいです。

It was a tour where you could choose your favorite attractions based on the price and enjoy a full day of fun. We selected three tours: a mountain tour, a sea tour, and a movie location tour. Since we had just seen Jurassic World, we were particularly excited about the location tour! Additionally, on the sea tour, you can go out on a yacht and see sea turtles. Since everything is guided in Japanese, it was a high point that we could understand the content properly. There were times when it drizzled, but since we mainly moved by vehicle, it wasn't much of a problem. You can also experience four-wheeling and horseback riding, so I definitely want to visit again. I recommend it for those who find just the city and beach of Waikiki not enough.

価格に応じて、好きなアトラクションが選べて１日たっぷり遊べるツアーでした。
私達が選んだのは、山のツアー、海のツアー、映画ロケ地のツアーの３つ。
ちょうどジュラシックワールドを見たばかりだったので、ロケ地ツアーは特に
テンションがあがりました！
また海のツアーではヨットで沖に出て、ウミガメを見ることも出来ます。
基本的に全て日本語ガイドさんが案内してくれるので、
内容がちゃんとわかるところも高ポイント。
雨がぱらつく時もありましたが、基本は乗り物での移動なので、さほど問題はありませんでした。
四輪バギーや、乗馬の体験もできるので、是非また訪れたいです。
ワイキキの街とビーチだけでは物足りない人にオススメです。

A Japanese guide accompanied us on the shuttle bus, and there were announcements in English followed by Japanese translations on the ship. There was also another Japanese staff member on board.

I was able to spend the time without any inconvenience at all.

There were no participants on the breakfast course. Even without that option, coffee and tea were available for free. With just under 40 people in total, it felt very relaxed.

As for the whales, we were able to see them spouting several times. Although they were a bit far away, it was exciting to see them both over there and here.

Even without specific announcements, everyone was helpful, and I was able to enjoy my time with people from other countries!!

I was worried about seasickness since I was with my mother, but it was so calm that I hardly noticed we had set sail, and there was no rocking at all.

送迎バスから日本人ガイドが同行、船内のアナウンスも英語の後に日本語の通訳の説明がありました。船内にはもう一人日本語スタッフがいらっしゃいました。

全く不自由なく過ごせました。

朝食付きコースの方はいなかったです。無しのコースでもコーヒーや紅茶は飲み放題です。全員で40名弱、とても少なかったのでゆっくりできました。

肝心なクジラですが何度も潮吹きが見られました。少し遠いいですがあっちもこっちもという感じで盛り上がりました。

特にアナウンスがなくても皆さんが教えてくれるので他の国の方々と楽しく過ごせました！！

母と一緒で船酔いを心配していたのですが、出航したのもわからないくらい静かで全く揺れはなかったです。

I was anxious about whether we would see whales, but luckily we encountered them. They showed us spyhopping and breaching, which was very moving. The crew members were cheerful and kind, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. Since breakfast was included, I planned to eat after watching the whales, but when I returned to the boat, they had started clearing away breakfast, so I couldn't eat at my leisure, which was disappointing.

クジラが現れるかどうか、不安だったけど・・運よく遭遇でき・・スパイホップやブローも見せてくれ、とても感動しました。
クルーのメンバーも明るく親切で、安心して参加できました。
朝食付きだったので、クジラを見て朝食を食べようと、船内に戻ったら、朝食の片付けが始まっており、ゆっくり食べることが出来ず、残念でした。

Since we came all the way to Hawaii, my daughter (6 years old) and I participated in the activity together. To be honest, my daughter was a bit scared of the ocean and was feeling anxious, but thanks to the kind and attentive staff, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. By the end, she had completely warmed up to it.

Turtles appeared multiple times, coming right up close to the boat and poking their heads out. Even small children could see them with the naked eye. We were even lucky enough to see a manta ray, which made my daughter very excited! At the sandbar, the water was waist-deep when moving from the boat, which was a bit deep and made her scared, but we were able to see crabs and fish, and by the end, she was practicing putting her face in the water with a snorkel on.

When we got back a little early, the staff happened to be feeding the fish, and my daughter got to participate, which was a great experience for her.

Just a note for those bringing small children... The air conditioning on the bus is quite strong both going and returning. Especially on the way back, since there’s no place to change, depending on the age, I think it’s better to have them change quickly. For the trip there, I had my daughter wear a dress over her swimsuit, but just in case, I brought an extra set of underwear, so on the way back, I had her change out of her swimsuit and wear the dress with her underwear. I also wrapped her in a larger towel that I brought as a blanket. As expected, she fell into a deep sleep, so I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about her catching a cold!

せっかくハワイに来たのだから、と娘（6歳）と二人で参加しました。実を言うと、海が少し怖い娘は、内心ビクビクしていましたが、現地のスタッフの方々の優しく、細やかなお心づかいのおかげで満喫できました。最後はすっかりなついていました。
カメは何度も姿を現し、船のすぐ近くまできて頭をだしてくれます。小さなか子でも肉眼で確認できました。珍しくマンタまで見れて娘はおおはしゃぎ！サンドバーでは船から移動するときは水深が腰まであり、少し深いので怖がりましたが、蟹や魚も見れて、最後にはシュノーケルをつけて顔を海につける練習までしていました。
少し早めにあがると、たまたまスタッフの方が魚に餌付けしており、娘もさせていただき、よい経験になりました。
ひとつだけ小さなお子さんをお連れの方へ…行も帰りもバスの冷房はしっかりかかっております。特に帰りは着替える場所がないので、年齢にもよりますが、ぱっと着替えさせてあげたほうがいいと思います。娘には行きはワンピース＋水着の恰好でいかせましたが、念のため、と下着をもっていったので、帰りは水着をぬがし、ワンピース＋下着で帰らせました。そして1枚多めにもっていった大きめのバスタオルを毛布がわりに包み込みました。案の定、爆睡したので風邪をひく心配をひとつ削れましたよ～～

The whales were just fantastic, and we saw two spyhops, lots of flukes and around a dozen blows. All in all a just wonderful sight. Breakfast buffet was only average but who cares about that??!!!!

This is definitely an activity you must do when staying in Hawaii for the first time. If you don't go, you'll be missing out. Unfortunately, I experienced bad weather partway through, but the guide was very friendly, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I highly recommend everyone to go!

とりあえず、ハワイに初めて滞在したら必ず行かなきゃいけないアクティビティです。
行かない方は損です。
私はあいにく途中から悪天候でしたが、ガイドさんも凄く気さくな方で、素晴らしい経験になりました。
皆様是非行かれてください

I could see a bit of the tail in the distance, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see it well. (I was hoping to see it up close!) As for the tour, the meals were of sufficient quantity, and while they weren't particularly delicious, they were average, so I was generally satisfied.

遠くに尾びれが少し見えましたが、良く見えなくて残念でした。（もっと近くで見えるのか？！と期待していたのですが...）
ツアーとしては、食事も十分な量，質も特に美味しい！という訳では無いですが普通なので、概ね満足でした。

We participated in a tour for our honeymoon! Our impression is that we are very satisfied! The staff were friendly and we had a really fun time! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! When I asked the staff to take pictures with my phone, they took many photos from various angles and poses, and we were able to keep a lot of beautiful pictures! It became an unforgettable memory for both of us! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンでツアーに参加させていただきました！感想はとても満足です(^^)/スタッフのみなさんもフランクでとても楽しい時間でした～！船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですね♪♪
スタッフさんに携帯で写メを頼んだら色んな角度やポーズで何枚も撮っていただき綺麗な写真が沢山残せました～！夫婦共に忘れられない思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

I was looking forward to the sandbar, but the weather was cloudy and there was strong wind, making the sea very cold. It would be a good idea to bring extra beach towels for when you come out of the water. There were many participants, and we could choose between a boat with only Japanese people or a mixed boat with foreigners! We chose to ride with the foreigners, so we were able to enjoy English conversation with the family sitting next to us. It was great that we could also see the sea turtles.

楽しみにしていたサンドバーですが、天候は曇りで強風の為海は非常に寒かったです。
海から上がってきた時のバスタオルなども多めに用意しておいた方が良さそうです。
参加者が多く日本人だけの船と外国人と混合の船が選べました！私達は外国人の方々と乗る船を選んだ為、隣に座った御家族と英会話も楽しみながら乗ることが出来ました。
ホヌも見ることが出来たので良かったです。

We were lucky enough to see whales jumping out of water many times. Crew members were professional. They gave clear and accurate instructions on directions to which whales were just coming up to surface. Besides whale watch, the cruise trip itself was awesome. We had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful coastline of Oahu.

In October, the seawater in Hawaii was indeed cold, and it was windy and chilly, but we were able to see sea turtles, which made the family very happy.

１０月のハワイの海水は、さずがにつめいたく、風があり寒かったが、ウミガメを見れて、家族が喜んでいました。

I participated in the afternoon departure plan.
Onboard, we were first served Leonard's malasadas (fried doughnuts), along with tea and juice, and the food was delicious.
The portion sizes were more than enough.
The boat swayed a bit until we reached the sandbar, but it was for a short time, so as long as you're feeling well, it's totally manageable.
One of the men in a large group seemed to be hungover and ended up throwing up, but it was funny.
At the sandbar, we got off the boat and spent some time exploring and taking photos. Two turtles, which seemed to be used to being fed, came close, and we took pictures with them.
It seems these two turtles come by every time.
After that, those who wanted to could go snorkeling or stand-up paddleboarding for about 20 minutes before leaving the sandbar.
I think we stayed at the sandbar for about an hour and a half to two hours.
The staff were kind, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and it was a lot of fun.

午後出発のプランに参加しました。
船上ランチでは最初にレナーズのマラサダ（揚げパンです）が配られ、お茶やジュースも出て、ご飯も美味しかったです。
量は十分でした。
サンドバーに出るまで少し船が揺れますが、短い時間なので体調が悪くなければ全然大丈夫なレベルです。
大人数で参加されている男性グループの1人が二日酔いだったらしく吐いておられましたが笑
サンドバーでは船から降りてしばらく散策したり写真を撮ったり、餌付けされているらしいカメさん2匹が近づいてきてくれたので一緒に写真を撮ったりしました。
この2匹のカメは基本毎回来てくれるようです。
その後希望者は20分ほどシュノーケリングやスタンドアップパドルをしてから、サンドバーを後にしました。
だいたいサンドバーに居たのは１時間半から２時間くらいだったように思います。
スタッフの方も親切で、海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗でとても楽しかったです。

Transportation was completely hassle-free, allowing for a worry-free experience. During the cruise, the wind was incredibly strong, so women should pay attention to their clothing. I saw whales! Thank you for the amazing experience.

送迎などはまったく問題なく安心して参加できます。クルーズ中は風がものすごく強いので女性は服装に注意。クジラ見れました！感動体験をありがとうございました。

This cruise was great! Mostly because of the crew. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They watched out for your safety. The boat itself is very sturdy. There is an inside cutout that you can sit in, out of the weather if need be. I took my elderly family and they did great!!!

Saw lots of fish and sea turtles! The guides were very informative.

I applied for the sandbar tour knowing that the tide conditions weren't great. The weather was bad, so it was just a shallow area. I could only see the sea turtles' heads popping up for air from a distance, and I couldn't tell if they were turtles or something else. The snorkeling was also disappointing due to the cloudy sky, which affected visibility. Since time was limited, I couldn't enjoy it. This time, there were two boats, but because there were many Japanese participants, we were forced to separate into groups of Japanese and others, which created a situation where only Japanese people were present, and that was unfortunate.

サンドバーは、潮目もあまり良くないのは承知で申し込みました。
天気が悪かったので、ただの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメは、遠くから、息継ぎで頭が出るのが見える程度。カメなのか何なのか分かりませんでした。
シュノーケリングも、曇り空だったので、透明度も悪くイマイチ。時間も限られていたので、楽しめませんでした。
今回、ボート２艘でしたが、日本人参加者が多かったこともあり、強制的に、日本人とその他の国で分けられ、日本人しかいない状況を作られたのも残念でした。

The weather was wonderful, and I was truly moved by the beauty! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing (＾＿＾)☆ I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

天気にも恵まれ、とっても綺麗で感動しました！！海がめも間近で見ることができ、最高でした（＾＿＾）☆また機会があれば参加したいです。
