All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.

The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.

We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

I have attended many Luaus. This was the best by far. The pre entertainment, the show, the food and the staff were fabulous. Will definitely go again. A must - attend event.

Had a great time!! We were lucky to have lots of whale sightings, one even came up close to the ship!!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.

I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.

On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.

Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!

It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.

初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい！」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました！！イルカの群れが！気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり！！
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Awesome Boat, great crew, good food, spent a lot of time watching whales.

I participated in the activity where you can touch and kiss dolphins. My English conversation level isn't very high, and my mother and children can't speak at all. However, we managed to complete it without any issues. There was only one other group of Japanese people with us; everyone else came from various places. I bought a photo as a souvenir to take home♪

イルカにタッチ&ｷｽのアクティビティに参加しました。
私の英会話レベルは高い方ではないし、母と子どもたちは全く話せません。ですが、難なく終えれました。
日本人は私たちと他一組だけで、あとはみなさんｱﾁｺﾁから来た方々でした。記念に写真を買って帰りました♪

I stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki for 5 nights and 7 days. I paid an additional fee for the convenience of being transported to the hotel by a large bus. It was very convenient since using public transportation with children is quite difficult, and I didn't rent a car. I was also worried about how much a taxi would cost and whether taxis are safe, even in Hawaii.

I went with my two elementary school-aged sons, my mother in her 50s, and myself, a group of four. There were many slides and a pool with waves, as well as a pool suitable for small children. The kids seemed to have a great time.

There is a bag check, and outside food is not allowed. The locker usage fee is around $13 for a smaller one and about $18 for a larger one, which seemed a bit expensive. We ate hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken, and fries. The weather was sunny, and we had a lot of fun! Also, there were lifeguards present, so it felt safe.

5泊7日でﾜｲｷｷのｼｪﾗﾄﾝに宿泊。
表示の追加料金を払いましたが、大型バスでホテルに送迎してくれたので、とても便利でした。
子連れではなかなか交通機関を使った移動は難しいし、ﾚﾝﾀｶｰも借りてないし、タクシーだといくらかかるか、ハワイといえどもタクシーじたいが安全なのか不安なので。
小学生の息子2人、50代の母と私の4人で行きました。
たくさんのｽﾗｲﾀﾞｰや波がでてくるプール。小さな子でも遊べるようなプールもありました。
子どもたちはとにかく楽しそうでした。
バッグの持ち込み検査があるのと、食べ物は持ち込み不可。ロッカー使用料は暗証番号で何度も開閉できるけど、13ドルぐらいの小さめと18ドルぐらいのがあり高いな、、といった印象。
食べ物はホットドッグ、チーズバーガー、チキン、ポテトなどを食べました。
晴天だったし、楽しかったです！あと監視員みたいな人がちゃんといるので、安全です♪

While it was advertised as "swimming with dolphins," in reality, most of the time was spent having participants line up to touch the dolphins as they swam by or giving them kisses. The actual experience of swimming with the dolphins was just a brief moment, only a few meters. I felt that the price was too high for what was offered. The dolphin show in another pool at the facility was also underwhelming.

「イルカと泳ぐ」と銘打っていながら、実際は参加者を並ばせて側をイルカに泳がせて触らせたり、イルカとチューさせたり、でほとんどの時間を使い、イルカにつかまって泳ぐのはほんの一瞬、ほんの数メートルのみ。
その割には金額が高過ぎると感じた。
施設内の別プールのイルカショーもしょぼいものだった。

Since I have small children, I thought a dolphin swimming tour at the beach would be impossible, so I used this facility for the first time. However, I felt that the time spent interacting with the dolphins was short for the high price. There was a dolphin show within the facility that I was looking forward to, but I felt that the dolphin shows in Japan are more wonderful.

小さい子供がいるので、海でイルカを泳ぐツアーは無理だろうと、初めてこの施設を利用しましたが、高額の割にはイルカと接している時間は短いと感じました。
参加したプログラム以外に、施設内でイルカショーをしており、期待してましたが、
日本のイルカショーの方が素晴らしいと感じました

The dinner cruise was amazing, dinner was great, service was awesome.

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.

なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

I was already feeling excited before the tour even started with the bus pickup around the hotels in Waikiki. The boat was larger than I expected and spacious, so I think it would be hard to get seasick unless the waves were really rough.

We had a meal on the boat, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about it. It was just ordinary local cuisine.

Inside the boat, they showed us pictures and explained things in English. It was labeled as having a Japanese guide, but there was none at all. I think they should revise that description.

When I went out on the deck, the weather was nice and the view was amazing. I felt like it was the right time to go out, but I wish they had informed us when we could go out.

Fortunately, we were able to see three whales swimming alongside us, and we got to see a lot of spouts. We even encountered one that was flipping its large tail while diving.

There were tourists from various countries on board, and everyone had their own way of enjoying the experience. I found myself having fun too, thanks to a lady who was joyfully shouting and celebrating.

ワイキキのホテルを回りながらのバスピックアップで、参加前から気分が高揚しました。
船は思っていたより大きくて、ゆったりしているので、よほど波が荒くなければ酔いにくいんじゃないかと思います。

船の中で食事を食べるのですが、これはあまり期待しない方がいいです。
ごく普通の現地料理。

船内で、写真を見せながら英語で説明をしてくれます。日本語ガイドと表記されていましたが、それは一切ありませんでした。これは表記は改めた方がいいと思います。

甲板に出ると、天候が良く素晴らしい景色でした。
これも、なんとなく今のタイミングだと思ってデッキに出たんですが、いつから出ていいのかは言ってほしいところですね。

運よく、3匹の鯨と並走で、潮吹きはたくさん見ることが出来まして、潜る際に大きく尾びれを回しているところにも遭遇できました。

色々な国から集まった観光客が乗り込んでいて、楽しみ方も様々。
大声で騒いで喜んでいるおばさまにつられて、こちらも楽しくなりました。

The tour was professionally organised and well run. The boat provided plenty of viewing opportunities for all onboard. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We found some whales but didn't get really close (which was the only downside).

The tour is for everybody. I think it'll be more species but it's a good one to go with children.

My husband and I took our 3 kids and we were quite impressed with how quickly we spotted the whales (we even saw dolphins!). It's safe and a great experience, I would definitely recommend it for families with young children.

Parking is convenient. Check in is across from boat. Prepare for standing and maybe even a little sea sick lol! Don't forget to bring your binoculars!

The shallow area made of coral fragments in the sea, which is different from the shallow waters, was a sight I had never seen before, and I couldn't help but be captivated. The hamburger for lunch was large, delicious, and combined with the scenery, it was truly delightful. During snorkeling, I was able to meet my long-awaited sea turtle and even swim together. There was also a surprise where our guide, Yukiko, took photos for us, making it a series of wonderful experiences that left me very satisfied. I want to participate many more times.

遠浅とは違う海の中にある珊瑚の欠片でできた浅瀬で、初めて見る光景で思わず見とれてしまいました。昼食のハンバーガーは大きくて美味しくて景色とあいまってとても美味しかった。シュノーケリングでは念願の海亀に会うことができ、一緒に泳ぐこともできてました。案内人のyukikoさんが写真を撮ってくれるサプライズもあり、すばらしい体験の連続で大満足です。何回も参加したくなります。

Certain places say you cannot buy tickets anywhere but on the official Pearl Harbor website. Not true. These worked great. Still have to wait in line to exchange voucher for tickets. Get there early.

We participated as a three-generation family. The weather was perfect on the day of our visit, with clear skies, no wind, and calm seas. I had read past comments about the bus being cold, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt was a good decision.

We reserved our spot at the sandbar on a day and time when the tide was low during our stay in Hawaii, and it turned out just as expected (the water was shallow, about knee-deep). It was actually great for the kids to practice snorkeling. When I asked the staff to take photos, they took many wonderful pictures for us.

During snorkeling around the coral, we were lent floating sticks, which allowed my 6-year-old and 8-year-old to hold on and swim, and they were thrilled to see many fish. The staff were friendly, the weather was favorable, and we had a memorable and wonderful experience!

３世代で参加しました。当日はよく晴れて風もなく海も穏やかで最高の天気でした。
過去のコメントでバスの車内が冷えるとあったので長袖を持参して正解でした。
サンドバーはハワイ滞在中で潮位が低い日、時間帯を調べて予約したので、予想通りでした(浅いところで膝上くらい)。子どもたちがシュノーケルの練習ができたので、逆にちょうどよかったです。スタッフの方に写真撮影をお願いしたら、とても素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくださいました。
珊瑚周辺でのシュノーケルのときは浮く棒を貸してもらえたので、６歳と８歳の子どもはそれにつかまって泳ぎ、たくさんの魚を見ることができて大喜びでした。
スタッフの方たちも気さくで、天気にも恵まれ、思い出に残る素敵な体験ができました！

We are from Argentina. The tour was amazong and the driver very kind, he explains everithing and always arrived in time. Beautiful experience.

The whole trip was very pleasent enjoyed the food and staff were very helpful

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. There were more sea turtles than I expected, and I was lucky enough to encounter a manta ray. The sandbar was deeper than I imagined, so it was a bit different from what I pictured. I joined without knowing what to do at the sandbar, but it was great to experience snorkeling.

正直、あまり期待してませんでしたが思ったより楽しめました。ウミガメは予想以上に多く、運良くマンタにも遭遇できました。サンドバーは思ったより深かったので、イメージとは少し違いました。また、サンドバーで何をするのか不明なまま参加したのですが、シュノーケリングを体験したのが良かったです。

I participated in January.
I could hardly see any turtles, just catching a glimpse of them far out at sea.
And it was only for a moment.

The sandbar was just a shallow area up to my waist, even for adults, and it was completely unimpressive.
Many participants who joined thinking there would be a beach in the middle of the ocean ended up spending most of their time on the boat because the water was too cold in winter, which was very disappointing.

I believe the tours should either be held during the season when there are many turtles or only during the season when there is a beach.

１月に参加しました。
亀もほとんど見れずに
遠く海上に出てくるのを見るだけ。
しかも、一瞬。

サンドバーも、大人でも腰ぐらいある浅瀬で
まったく感動なし。
海のど真ん中に砂浜があるという触れ込みで参加されていた方も
結局冬で水が冷たくて結局船で過ごされていた方も多く、
とても残念です。

やはり、亀がたくさんいるシーズンにするか
砂浜があるシーズンのみツアーを開催するべきです。

It was quite far, but I was able to see whales. I took photos before getting on the boat, and they were being distributed on the boat, but I wasn't sure if it was part of the service. I didn't receive any photos... However, it was great that there were photos of the whales taken by the staff with a telephoto lens available for purchase.

何とか遠でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。
船に乗る前に写真を撮って、船で配ってましたが、サービスだったのでしょうか。
よくわからず、写真もらえず。。
スタッフの人が望遠レンズで撮ったクジラの写真が販売されていて、よかった。

We participated as a couple. We checked the low tide times in advance and joined the morning plan to match the low tide during our stay. Since this was our first time participating, I'm not sure about other times, but I believe the scenery is definitely beautiful during low tide. While it's precious to see the sandbar completely exposed at the lowest tide, personally, I think the best view is when there's a thin layer of seawater just before and after that.

The snorkeling was a bit chilly, but we were thrilled to get quite close to a sea turtle! (It was a little scary being too close, though...)

The local staff were very lively and fluent in Japanese, which helped create a great atmosphere. They prepared warm soup after snorkeling, and there were towels laid out on each seat in the return bus, showing great attention to detail. This tour is definitely recommended.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。
事前に干潮の時間を調べて、ちょうど滞在期間中の干潮の時間に合わせて午前のプランで参加しました。今回が初めての参加なので他の時間はわかりませんが、やはり干潮の時が綺麗だと思います。最も潮が引いてサンドバーが完全に見えているときも貴重ですが、個人的にはその前後のうっすらと海水が乗っているときの景色がベストだと思います。

シュノーケリングは少し肌寒かったですが、たまたまウミガメとかなり接近することができ大興奮でした!（近すぎると逆に少し恐かったですが…）

現地のスタッフの方も、とてもノリが良く日本語もペラペラで、いい感じに盛り上げてくださいました。
シュノーケリング後に温かいスープを用意してくださったり、帰りのバスでは各座席にタオルが敷いてあったり、とても配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
間違いなくオススメのツアーです。

The weather was sunny with occasional clouds, but there was wind, and it was surprisingly cold. The sandbar had water levels up to my knees. Snorkeling at the coral reef had life jackets available, but it seemed deep and was scary for the children. We were lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling.

天気は晴れ時々くもりでしたが、風があり、意外と寒かったです。サンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でした。サンゴ礁にてのシュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットはありましたが、深くて子供には怖かったようです。シュノーケリングではウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。

I want to swim with dolphins someday. It's not just about feeling like I'm swimming with dolphins far out in the ocean; I want to touch them and make that dream come true at Sea Life Park Hawaii. The encounter happened on Christmas Day, and the scenery of the ocean on the way was stunning. My family was overwhelmed by the turtle squad inside the park. They are just so cute. Finally meeting the dolphins that I've been waiting for was amazing. The dolphins are incredibly adorable! The instructions for swimming with the dolphins were provided in both English and Japanese, so I was mentally prepared. The trainer, who was wearing a Boy's shirt, was also quite cute as she adjusted her shirt.

And then it was showtime! I didn't have to worry about drowning since I was wearing a floatation vest. The pool has deep areas, but even though I'm not particularly slim, I found myself floating effortlessly. It was quite challenging to keep my feet down. It seemed more like the trainer was the playful one rather than the dolphins; every gesture and movement of the dolphins was adorable. We all lined up to touch the dolphins' backs, bellies, and dorsal fins as they swam slowly, and this was also being recorded on video. Next, we took photos while holding the dolphins, followed by kisses with the dolphins for more memorable pictures. Then, I held onto the dorsal fin of a dolphin and swam together, and two dolphins pushed up on my legs, lifting me up. The program ended there, but thanks to the trainer's thoughtful arrangement, we got to play with the dolphins a little longer. I wanted to swim even more.

For food, they serve American-style corn dogs, and the drinks are American-sized. If you want, you can check and purchase photos and DVDs as souvenirs at the end.

Overall, it was a fun Christmas gift to touch and swim with the dolphins. There was also a dolphin show, making it a delightful paradise. I highly recommend it. Mahalo!

いつかイルカと泳いでみたい。海の遠くにイルカが居て一緒に泳いだ気になるんじゃなくて、イルカに触れて、一緒に泳ぎたいを実現できるのがここ　シーライフパーク・ハワイです。出会いはクリスマスの日、着いた先はシーライフパーク・ハワイ　道中海の景色も抜群です。うちの家族は園内に入りホヌ軍団に圧倒されました。とにかくかわいい。待ちに待ったイルカとの対面。またイルカたちがかわいいのナンの（笑）イルカと泳ぐ際の説明も英語、日本語の説明で心の準備OK！説明してくれたBoy'sシャツの裾を気にしているところがかわいいかった。そして本番！自分が泳げないとか、浮輪チョッキを着ているから溺れる心配無し。プール内は深いところもありますが、私も決して痩せているほうではありませんが、勝手に浮いてしまいます。足を鎮めることが大変なくらいでした。イルカがいたずら好きというよりも、トレーナーのお姉さんがいたずら好きなので、イルカの仕草、動き何もかもかわいい。イルカの背中、イルカのお腹、背びれとイルカがゆっくり泳いでいるところをみんな一列になって触るですけど、ここもビデオに撮られています。続いて、イルカを抱っこする形で写真撮影、続いてイルカとの接吻ここでも記念撮影、そしてイルカの背びれにつかまって一緒に泳ぐ、続いて、2頭のイルカが私の両足を１頭づつ押してくれて立ち上がっちゃうぐらい押してくれます。ここでプログラムは終わっちゃうんだけど、トレーナーさんの粋な計らいでイルカと少し戯れられる。もっともっと泳ぎたかった。
食事は、ここはアメリカ　アメリカンドック系を、飲み物アメリカンサイズを食して、最後に写真とDVDをチェックして欲しければそこで購入しお土産に出来ます。
とにかく、イルカと触れて泳げて楽しいクリスマスプレゼントになりました。
イルカのショーもあり楽しい楽園です。おススメします。mahalo!

It's a pool with dolphins, so I understand, but I was surprised at how dirty the water was. You stand on a platform in the water, but there wasn't a clear explanation of where the platform ends, and a father holding his daughter almost sank for a moment. However, the dolphins were cute.

イルカがいるプールなので仕方ないのですが、水が汚く驚きました。
水の中の台？に立つのですが、どこから台がないのかちゃんと説明がなく、娘を抱いた父が一瞬沈みかけました。
でも、イルカはかわいかったです。

Wonderful way to be greeted in the wonderful Hawaii!!!

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Saw a turtle and a shark and lots of other cool stuff!!! Great excursion to do 1st!!! Some folks may need a little dramimine for motion sickness, however, you don't even notice how far down you are, it's amazing!!!

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! The sandbar was soooo cool and playing volleyball on it was so fun fun!!!
