All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Since deciding to go to Hawaii in July a year ago, I searched for the day with the lowest tide during my itinerary and made a reservation. The water level dropped to my ankles, and it truly felt like a heavenly sea! I was warmly welcomed by many honu (sea turtles) of all sizes! I even spotted a honu resting among the corals while snorkeling. I also enjoyed paddle surfing and canoeing! The sandwiches for lunch were delicious!

7月にハワイ行きを決めた１年前から、行程内の一番潮位が低い日を探し、予約しました。
くるぶし位まで海面が下がり、ホントに天国の海！
ホヌにも大歓迎され大小たくさん会いに来てくれました！
シュノーケリングでも、珊瑚の間で寝ている？ホヌを見かけました。
パドルサーフィン・カヌーも楽しめました！
お昼のサンドイッチ美味しかった！

The wonderful views from the sandbar and the sea turtle watch were amazing. The BBQ lunch was a hamburger, but it was a very delicious burger. Above all, encountering sea turtles while snorkeling was the highlight. Swimming with the sea turtles I had longed for was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it. The guides were also friendly and likable. Thank you very much.

サンドバーの素晴らしい景色とウミガメウォッチ。BBQランチはハンバーガーでしたがとても美味しいバーガーでした。なにより本格的シュノーケルでウミガメに遭遇。念願のウミガメと泳げたことが最高によかったです。絶対お勧めです。
ガイドの皆さんもフレンドリーで好感がもてます。ありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, the bus was crowded, and even after the pickup time had passed, the bus did not arrive. When I called the contact number for VELTRA, an English voice guide was playing, and it seemed like I had to choose buttons. After randomly selecting a button, I was met with more English voice guidance. I couldn't understand anything, so I hung up. I wish VELTRA would provide a way to make inquiries in Japanese.

Even though we were about 45 minutes late, the return time was the same, and I felt like I lost out. Once we arrived, there was no particular guidance, and I wandered around not knowing where the cabana was or which one I could use. When I decided to use one of the cabanas, a female staff member appeared out of nowhere and started giving instructions in English again. I hardly understood, but it seemed like I could use it. (I didn't even understand what a cabana was at the time, but it refers to a covered space.) That's how we started.

For lunch, I thought the BBQ would mean we would cook it ourselves, but it was a buffet style where we just took the meat that was cooked in the kitchen. However, the meat was quite delicious.

The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and I wished I could have played more. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to explore everything.

当日はバスが混んでいたのか、ピックアップ時間を過ぎてもバスは来ず、VELTRAの問い合わせ連絡先に電話すると英語でべらべら音声案内が流れボタンを選べらしき内容で、適当にボタンを選んだらまた英語音声案内でべらべらガイダンス。訳が分からないので電話を切りました。VELTRAさんには日本語の問い合わせを出来るようにして欲しいです。

　時間が45分ぐらい遅れたのに、帰り時刻は同じで損をした気分です。着いても特に案内も無くカバナが何処にあるのか、どれを使っても良いのか分からずうろうろしました。適当にこのカバナを使おうと腰を下すと、何処からともなく女性の従業員が来てこれまた英語でべらべら案内、殆ど分からずですが使っても良い様子。(カバナ自体も分っていなかったのですが、屋根付きのスペースのことです)。こんな感じでスタートしました。

お昼のBBQランチはBBQだけに自分で焼くのかなと思っていましたがバイキング形式で調理場で焼いたお肉をとるだけでした。でもこの肉なかなか美味しかったです。

プール施設自体は大変楽しくもっと遊んでいたかったです。時間が少なく全て廻りきれませんでした。

We were in Hawaii for the first time celebrating our 30th anniversary and stayed for 7 nights in Waikikki. We booked this tour in advanced, paid total US$75 each, total $150.00 which included the admission and tour to USS Battleship Missouri via this site. So glad we booked this tour which we did on our 3rd day. We were picked up 5 minutes earlier, and the tour guide Marlon was most helpful and courteous. We got to stop and visit the Palace in Honolulu since we were early. The motor coach was very comfortable. A group with young children was late coming back, but the bus operator waited patiently for them. Marlon gave us very good instructions, for all the different visit sites at Pearl Harbour, and got us all our admission tickets very quickly and smoothly. This tour is well worth it as we got so many information which you would not have known had you just gone on your own. We did rent a car for 3 days, but we definitely made a right decision to purchase this tour and not drive there ourselves, just for the extra tour guide information is well worth it. Instead, we rented the car for our last 3 days in Waikikki and drove along North Shore, South Shore and West shore over 3 days. The Pearl Harbour, including Mighty Mo tour is a must do - we even got to take a picture with Mr. Hyland, a 98 year old survivor from Pearl Harbour. 5 stars for this tour !

I participated at the beginning of July! The sea was clear that day, and I was overwhelmed with joy as I encountered dolphins multiple times! The Hawaiian staff were friendly, and I had a great time.

However, one thing I was dissatisfied with was the photos. There was a dedicated photographer on the boat who took most of the pictures (since we had to store valuables below deck to avoid getting them wet). Because of that, we didn't take any photos ourselves, thinking we could purchase them later. However, just before the tour ended... all the photos were bundled together for a total of $65! What?! That's way too expensive!!! It's almost half the cost of the tour. Most of the photos were probably unnecessary, and I couldn't justify spending that much (although quite a few people did buy them). It felt like a rip-off, and that was really disappointing since I ended up with almost no photos. If it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.

7月頭に参加しました！
海がその日は澄んでいて、しかもイルカにも何度も巡り会えて感無量でした！ハワイアンのスタッフの方も気さくで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

ただ、一つ不満だったのが写真です。船の上では専属のカメラマンがいて、ほとんどの写真をカメラマンが収めてくれます(船の上では濡れるといけないのでデッキの下に貴重品等はしまいます)。そのため、自分たちで全然写真を撮っていなかったし、
あとで購入できるから…とばかり思っていました。しかし、ツアー終了間際…写真は全てセットになっていて全部で65ドル、
、！？？高すぎ！！！ツアー代金の半額近いですよね。きっと不要な写真がほとんどなのに、そんな金額掛けられませんでした(結構買ってる方いらっしゃいましたが)。ぼったくり感満載で、それだけが残念でした、手元に残った写真ほぼなしですからね。それさえなければ星５個でした。

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.

潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海中散歩を期待して乗船しましたが、正直がっかりしました。海中が濁っていてよく見えず、家族全員途中で飽きてしまい、また日本語での解説も同じことの繰り返しで最後は眠気を催しました。隣の家族連れのお父さんは途中から眠ってしまいました。もう少し潜る場所を考えてツアーを企画してほしかったです。

When we arrived at the port, it was slightly rainy and chilly, and I was a bit worried, but after a few minutes on the boat, the blue sky appeared! We were able to see manta rays, which we usually don't get to see, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling until the very end. I was very satisfied!

港に到着した時は若干小雨で肌寒く、大丈夫かなぁと心配したのですが、いざ船に乗って何分かすると青空に！普段は見られないマンタも見ることができ、シュノーケリングは最後まで楽しみ大満足でした！

Good food, entertainment & of course the view! Beautiful!

The sandbar had great weather and was fantastic.
The tide was about 10 centimeters below my knees, so the beach didn't appear, but I was able to practice snorkeling, which was good.
The hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
They grilled the patty (probably from Costco) on the boat, and it was juicy and tasty.
I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and they were keeping a proper watch, so I had no concerns about safety.

サンドバーは天気も良く、最高でした。
潮位はちょうどひざ下10センチくらいだったので砂浜が現れることはなかったのですが、シュノーケリングの練習ができたので良かったです。
お昼のハンバーガーが激うま！！
パティ（多分コストコの）を船上で焼いてくれたのですが、ジューシーで美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングではまあまあお魚も見れたし、きちんと監視してくれてるので安全面にも不安はありませんでした。

We had dinner as a couple on July 6th. From the appetizers to the soup, main course, and dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully crafted dishes and were very satisfied. The menu composition and portion sizes were just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling overly full, which can often be the case with dinners abroad. The delicate flavors of the appetizers and soup were particularly noteworthy. We definitely want to visit again.

7月6日ディナーを夫婦で利用しました。
前菜からスープ、メインそしてドルチェに至るまで非常に趣向を凝らした料理を満喫でき、
大変満足しました。メニュー構成、分量も丁度よく、ともすれば満腹感だけが印象に残りがちな海外でのディナーですが、最後までゆっくりと味わうことができました。
特に前菜とスープの繊細な味わいは特筆もの。
また是非利用したいと思います。

Best snorkeling and snuba ever!!! Been in this boat three times. Crew is wonderful and so is the lunch!!! Highly recommend.

Our second visit to Peral Harbour.
Toured the USS Missouri, The Bowfin and of course the Arizona.
Cudos to the management of this site, it. Is outstanding.
Very solemn and much respect to the fallen.

The beautiful sea stretched endlessly, and it was so healing ❤️ I was able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays. Snorkeling with the southern fish was the best! With the crew's accurate advice, I had a wonderful time.

綺麗な海がどこまでも続いていて癒されました❤️
ウミガメはもちろん、マンタにも会えたし
南の魚とのシュノーケリングはサイコーです！
クルーの方の的確なアドバイスのもと、
楽しい時間を過ごせました

This tour has so many highlights. I was impressed when we landed on the sandbar (it was really beautiful!), and I was thrilled to spot a sea turtle popping its head up in a spot filled with them. Snorkeling at the coral reef was also amazing, and above all, the burgers grilled on the boat were the best!

見どころがいっぱいのツアーです。サンドバー（本当にきれい！）に上陸した時も感動したし、ウミガメのたくさんいるスポットで、顔を出したウミガメを発見できて感動。サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも最高だったし、何より船の上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーが最高でした。

Aloha! Service and product were as expected and promised. A very sweet young lady greeted us at our gate as we exited the walkway. She held a sign with our names and came happily towards us as if she knew who we were before we said, she then helped us get to baggage claim. I surprised my son with this lei greeting. Leis were very fresh and beautiful. A great way to start your Hawaiian vacation! Highly recommended! Mahalo!

My partner and me really enjoyed on this cruise. Beautiful dinner, very helpful friendly crew and could see romantic sunset. I have joined this cruise 3rd times. every time never have any disappoint!! We are middle age couple. this cruise is great for family, girls group, boys group, big group, young people and old people everyone as well!!

I used this for my honeymoon and overseas wedding—this is seriously recommended! It's featured in various information magazines, so I thought, "Well, the big companies must be paying for ads, so it probably isn't that great," but I was wrong! The staff is fun, and seeing sea turtles in the ocean is something you only get to do once in a lifetime, so definitely sign up!!! Plus, there are wild rays too. By the way, since there are a lot of women, it might be a good idea to go just with the guys as well ♡
Note: This is not a scam, haha.

新婚旅行・海外ウエディングの際に利用しましたーーー
これはマジでおすすめ！色んな情報誌にのってるから、「どうせ王手が広告料出してるから中身たいしたことないんやろーーーな」と思ってたけどちゃいました！
スタッフもおもろいし、ウミガメを海でみれるなんて人生で１度くらいしかないから是非お申込みを！！！しかも野生のエイもおんねんで。
ちなみに女性の割合多いから男性だけでいくのもアリかもね♡
：注意：サクラではありません笑

I participated with my 3-year-old son and mother. I was a bit anxious about joining since my son was with me, but he was really happy. We encountered a few rain showers, but the weather was generally good, and the sandbar was shallow enough to my knees, with beautiful water.

My son and I didn't participate in snorkeling, but we were happy because they lent us a boat while we waited, so we didn't get bored. We were able to see sea turtles several times, but it was hard for my son to see them, and he said he couldn't see the turtles, which was a bit disappointing.

I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

3歳の息子と母と参加しました。
息子が一緒だったので参加するまでは不安でしたが、かなり喜んでいました。何回かスコールにはあいましたが、それでも天気は良くサンドバーも膝下で海もきれいでした。
私と息子はシュノーケリングに参加しなかったのですが、待っている間ボートを貸してくれたため喜んでおり暇することもなかったです。
ウミガメは何度か見ることができましたが息子には分かりづらくカメ見えないと言っていたのが残念でした。
またハワイに行く際には参加したいと思います。

The last time I came to Hawaii, I didn't have time to come to Pearl Harbor. Missing it had been one of my biggest regrets of that trip, so when I came back again it was pretty much the only thing on my "must do" list. I normally buy my excursions as a last minute thing so that I can be free to decide last minute what I want to do with my precious vacation days, but not wanting to risk missing Pearl Harbor again, I booked this excursion about a week before I arrived on the islands. I did a bit of research on different tours and options and decided that the USS Arizona memorial was what I was most interested in, and (due to a rebate offered for writing a review), veltra ended up being the best deal I could find. The trip itself was pretty basic... A bus tour of several areas of town including the old palace and the military gravesite near then punch bowl, but the driver was friendly and informative and the bus was comfortable.
Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial were great to see. It was a very moving experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who has the time.

Visiting Pearl Harbor was the main reason we went to Oahu and we were so happy we booked this tour. Our driver Larry was extremely personable and knowledgeable and made the experience very worthwhile!

The voucher mentioned a small amount of money, and there were places where you could buy photos and goods if you didn't bring much. Not only was there interaction with dolphins, but there were also animals on-site, which was included in the time and was unexpected. I wish there was more information provided.

バウチャーには多少のお金と書かれており、ほとんど持って行かなかったら写真やグッズを購入出来たりする場所もあったり、イルカとの触れ合いだけでなく、現地で動物もいて、それ込みの時間だったり予定外でした。
もっと情報を書いて欲しいです。

So pretty !
My family enjoyed wearing them for several Hawaiian
Days

I chose the shorter option since I was with my 70-year-old mother, but we had a great time! We saw plenty of sea turtles, and the sandbar was truly beautiful!!! I highly recommend this tour.

70歳の母と一緒だったので短い時間のほうにしましたが、十分に楽しめました！
海亀も沢山見れてサンドバーは本当に綺麗！！！
オススメのツアーです。

It was worth checking the low tide times and making a reservation; it was very beautiful. There was a problem at the meeting place, so my rating is average, but other than that, I was very satisfied.

引き潮時間を確認して予約したかいがあり、とても綺麗でした。集合場所でトラブルがあり評価は普通ですが、それ以外は大満足です。

it was my first time went on the dinner cruise since I live in Hawaii for 20 years, I really enjoy the steak and loster dinner, the workers were very friendly and helpful, that made me feel like I was having a family dinner with my family. The manager name Joey especially came serveral times to visit us and made sure everything was okay, we have a great time in Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise!!!

The shuttle bus was a large one. At the last pick-up location on the way there, the driver distributed tickets and explained how to wear the wristbands for each group. However, there were many guests, and since the driver was working alone while checking the list, it took a while before we could depart. I thought it might be necessary to have an additional ticket attendant.

Upon arriving at the pool, after getting off the bus and receiving an explanation from the staff, we were given our admission tickets. This process also took time as it was done by one person checking the list for each group. I felt a bit rushed since our time to enjoy the pool was limited.

The park had a great variety of slides. Although it was a weekday, there were families present, but it felt like there were many groups of children, and compared to Japan, it was quite spacious and not crowded at all. The ground was very hot, so beach sandals are a must when moving around! Meals were to be purchased from the outdoor stalls, which were always crowded regardless of the time. We enjoyed our food deliciously while lounging on the sunbeds we secured right after entering the park, overlooking the pool.

Although I felt rushed about the time before entering the park, I was able to fully enjoy my experience.

送迎車は大型バスでした。
行きの最後のピック場所で、運転手がグループごとにチケットの配布と手首への巻き方を教えてくれました。しかし客の人数は多く、配布時も名簿を確認しながらな上に運転手一人での作業な為、出発までに時間がかかりました。運転手の他に、チケット係りが一人必要なのではないかと思いました。

プールに到着し、バスを降りると係りの人からの説明の後入場券をもらうのですが、これも一人での作業で同じくグループごとに名簿を確認しながら行うため時間がかかりました。
プールで遊ぶ時間は限られてるのに…と少し焦ってしまいます。

園内はスライダーが充実していました。
平日でしたが、家族連れも見受けられましたが子供グループが多い印象で、日本と比べるととても空いていて広々と遊べました。
地面がとても熱いので、移動の際はビーチサンダル必須です！
食事は外の売店を利用することになりますが、時間帯関係なく常に混んでいたと思います。園内に入ってすぐに確保したサンベッドで、プールを眺めながら美味しく頂きました。

園内に入るまでは時間に関して焦っていましたが、充分漫喫できました。

I was able to see the whale's tail for a moment. It seems that it's quite rare to see them in the way depicted in photos. The scenery alone is enjoyable enough. Spotting whales depends on luck.

鯨の尻尾が一瞬ですが、みれました。　なかなか写真のような姿は見れないようです。景色だけでも十分楽しめます。鯨は運に左右されます。

Despite the children's criticism about the silly name, I trusted the positive reviews and decided to participate! It was a great decision! The kids who were complaining ended up getting completely absorbed in learning to snorkel for the first time, and with the help of the fun staff, they lost track of time chasing dolphins. The one reaching for the turtle is my son! It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it!

名前がふざけてるーとの、子供達の批判に負けず、こちらの口コミで好評だったのを信じ、参加させて頂きました！
大正解でした！
文句を言っていた子供達も、夢中で初シュノーケルを習得し、楽しいスタッフさん達に上手く乗せられ〜時間を忘れて、イルカを追っかけてました。
亀の後ろに手が届きそうなのが息子です！
少し高いですが、絶対、大学の方が良いです！

This was our first time participating as a group of eight across three generations, but the distance to the whales was far. Moreover, all we saw were spouts; we didn't get to witness the spectacular jumps and scenes we had imagined. My sons, who are in third and sixth grade, were bored and sat down. However, if you think of it as a leisurely cruise, it was a very elegant moment.

３世代８人で初めて参加したのですが、クジラまでの距離が遠いです。。しかも見れたのは潮吹きばかりで、想像してたようなジャンプなど豪快なシーンは見られませんでした。
小3.小６の息子達は退屈で座り込んでました。
のんびりクルージングできたと思えばとても優雅なひとときでした。
