All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The weather unexpectedly turned to rain. It wasn't constant, and there were moments of sunshine peeking through the heavy clouds, so it was a rain I could accept. I couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, thinking how much more beautiful it would have been if it had been sunny.

We had plenty of time for snorkeling around the turtle spot and at the sandbar, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. The highlight was definitely the delicious hamburger for lunch. It was amazing.

I felt like the wait for the bus back was unnecessarily long, but my swimsuit dried completely. The bus had air conditioning, so a cover-up is a must.

天気はまさかの雨。ずっとではなく、重い雲の隙間から時々晴れ間が出たので、ま、仕方ないと諦められる雨でした。
晴れてたらもっときれいにみられたんだろうなーと悔しさが残りました。
サンドバーも、ウミガメスポット周辺でのシュノーケリングの時間もたっぷり取れたので、十分楽しめました。
なんといってもランチのハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。サイコーでした。
帰りのバスを待つ時間がなんだか無駄に長いような気がしましたが、すっかり水着も乾きました。バスはクーラー効いてるので、羽織ものは絶対です。

Amazing time and exceeded all hopes and exepectations

This was the best excursion we did this trip and look forward to doing it again next year and a great big thank you to the crew they were awesome

Absolutely beautiful!
I was able to relax with the pleasant sea and scenery.
The hamburger I had on the boat was also delicious!

凄い綺麗の一言！！
気持ち良い海の中と景色でリラックスできました。
船の中で食べたハンバーガーも美味でした！

This was a tour I had always wanted to try, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience as I had hoped! The kids were thrilled, and the boat staff were kind, keeping the children smiling throughout. We even got to see sea turtles, so I highly recommend this tour. However, the air conditioning on the bus during the round trip was too cold. The kids were almost freezing. (This happens a lot in Hawaii. Can't something be done about it?)

一度は行ってみたかったツアーですが期待通りの素晴らしい体験が出来ました！子供も大喜び、船のスタッフも親切で子供も終始笑顔でした。ウミガメにも会えてお勧めのツアーです。ただ行き帰りのバスのエアコンが寒過ぎました。子供が凍えそうでした。（ハワイは多いです。何とかならないですかねえ）

We encountered about ten whales during the cruise. They appeared very close to the boat, which was truly moving. It was a bit disappointing that the Japanese announcements came after the English ones, causing a slight delay in the whale sighting announcements.

クルーズ中に１０頭ほどのクジラに遭遇。船のすぐ近くにも現れて感動ものでした。日本語の案内が英語の後なのでクジラ出現のアナウンスがワンテンポ遅れてしまうのが少し残念。

We are residents in Hawaii, actually we moved here from California about 5 years ago and while kids are off school on their fall break, I decided to take them out. I didn't realize there's actually a lot to do and see here, thanks to my cousin, Emily, who works for VELTRA that recommended me to do these things.

Kualoa Ranch is amazingly beautiful! We checked-in at 8:00am to do the Full Day Experience Pass and it was the perfect time as we were able to do four different activities. We did the Jungle Expedition and although it was a really bumpy ride (which is quite fun actually), the view of the Chinaman's hat island upon reaching the top after our small hike was breathtaking! We did the Ocean Voyaging which is nice also as we got to see the view of the windward side from a far, the Ranch & Movie Tour, and the Ancient Fishing Grounds & Tropical Gardens Tour. Buffet lunch was also included in the Value Pass and the menu items are so ono(delicous)! Overall, it was a really fun and exciting experience!

Snorkeling while watching beautiful sandy beaches, stunning coral reefs, and fish... Encountering sea turtles was also thrilling! It was just the best. I was very satisfied with the attentive service from the staff. Next time, I definitely want to visit when the beach appears.

綺麗なサンドビーチに、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚たちを見ながらのシュノーケリング・・・・・
ウミガメとの遭遇にも感激！
もう最高でした。
スタッフの皆さんのキメ細やかなサービスにも大満足です。
今度はビーチが現れた時に、是非とも行ってみたいです。

We used this for our honeymoon memories. We departed from Hilton Hawaiian Village and spent about two hours relaxing on the sea while enjoying the sunset. The time spent heading towards Diamond Head bathed in the sunset was particularly pleasant and enjoyable.

There were only my husband and I as the Japanese participants, but the crew was very considerate and kindly provided us with the onboard explanation in Japanese separately from the other participants.

Additionally, the boat was comfortable to ride on, and when it started to rain, we were able to take shelter under the roof, allowing us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Alcoholic drinks were free for up to two servings, and there was a wide variety available, along with potato chips and warm snacks.

The boat was larger compared to the number of participants, which allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

ハネムーンの思い出に利用しました。
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴィレッジから出発し、サンセットを臨みながら2時間ほど海上でのんびり過ごしました。夕日を浴びるダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かう時間は、特に心地よく気持ちが良かったです。

参加者で日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、船員の方が気を利かせてくれ、他の参加者とは別に私たちだけに日本語で出発前の船内説明をして頂けて非常に親切でした。

また、船も乗り心地は快適で、途中雨が降ってきたときも屋根つきのためデッキからの非難ができ、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
アルコール類も2杯までは無料で種類も豊富、ポテトチップスやあたたかい小料理もありました。

参加人数に比べ大き目の船でしたので、それぞれが思い思いの場所で過ごせるのもいい点でした。ハワイに来た時には、また参加したいと思いました。

This is a great option for those that get sea sick! The boat was very smooth! Brandon our waiter was fantastic, and was a good laugh. Would recommend and go again

I had an amazing experience in the best weather imaginable, where the ocean was beautiful and I even got to see sea turtles. This is a tour that I highly recommend you join when you go to Hawaii!

もうリベンジはいらないと言われるくらい最高の天気の中、海もきれいで、ウミガメにも会うことが出来ました。とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。ハワイに行ったら是非参加して欲しいツアーです！

The sea turtle snorkeling was amazing. The sea turtles were really close. The ocean was beautiful and fantastic. The snorkeling was so clear that it felt like I could be drawn into the depths of the deep sea, both in areas with coral and those without.

ウミガメ・シュノーケルは最高でした。ウミガメもすごい近くにいました。
海もきれいで最高でした。
シュノーケルはサンゴがあるところとないところの深海の深さをみて吸い込まれそうなくらいきれいでした。

It had been some time since low tide, but the water depth was about knee-high, which I had expected, so I had no particular complaints. The sunlight reflecting on the water surface was very beautiful. Since I'm not great at socializing, I found myself with a bit of free time during our stay at the sandbar, but I was able to fully enjoy the scenery. During snorkeling, I was able to see a turtle up close, which was very moving. It was a great experience. Thank you very much.

干潮から時間がたっていましたが、膝上くらいの水深で、もともとそれくらいかと思っていたので特に不満はありませんでした。
水面に陽の光が反射してとてもキレイでした。
盛り上げベタなのでサンドバー滞在時間中は少し時間をもて余してしまいましたが笑、景色を満喫することができました。
シュノーケリングでは間近でカメを見ることができ、とても感動しました。
いい経験ができました。
ありがとうございました。

Very interesting, loved both the memorial and the Missouri, think it could have been done in less time though

I couldn't see the sandbar. I think it was due to the tides, but I believe it would be helpful to include the times when it can be seen in the catalog. The explanation from the guide who showed us around was enjoyable.

サンドバーは見る事が出来なかった。潮の関係だと思うがカタログに見る事ができる時期などを記載しておくと親切だと思う。案内してくれたガイドの説明は楽しかった。

It seems I was lucky on the day I participated, as a large group of dolphins was found right away. Even without swimming, just floating with my face in the water, I could see the dolphins swimming just below us! There were baby dolphins too, and their calls were so clear; it was incredibly moving. We moved to another spot and also got to see sea turtles and beautiful fish. I was able to try stand-up paddleboarding as well, so I was very satisfied!

私が参加した日はラッキーだったみたいでイルカ先生の大群がすぐ見つかりました。泳がなくてもプカプカ顔付けて浮いてるだけで、私達のすぐ下をイルカ達が泳いで行きました！赤ちゃんイルカもいて、鳴き声もすごくはっきり聞こえてめっちゃ感動しました。場所を移動してウミガメ教授やきれいな魚達にも会えました。スタンドアップパドルもできたし満足！

The staff were all fun people, and I had a great time! The weather was nice, and the sea was really beautiful! The warm soup after snorkeling was truly delicious!

スタッフの方たちも楽しい人たちばかりでとても楽しめました！天気も良く海も本当にキレイ‼シュノーケルの後の温かいスープ、本当に美味しかったです！

We were promptly and happily greeted by Helena as soon as we exited the gate. The leis were very nice orchids, and lasted pretty well for a few days when kept in the refrigerator.

Despite the unfortunate weather, the local staff from the optional company provided us with an amazing experience with their skills and energy. The wind on the boat can be a bit chilly, so it might be a good idea for those who are sensitive to the cold to bring something warm to wear.

天候も生憎だったのにも関わらず、オプショナル会社の現地の方々のスキルとパワーで最高の時間を提供してもらいました。
若干、船上での風が冷たいので寒さに弱い人は厚手の覆うものを用意すると良いかも。

I was supposed to go with my cousin, but she couldn't make it on the day, so I participated alone. I felt a bit lonely going by myself, but the guides and staff were very warm and accommodating, so I was able to enjoy it fully even on my own. I'm really grateful for that.
The tour content was also fulfilling. The malasadas and BBQ lunch we had on the boat were very delicious. I got to see sea turtles multiple times, which made for great memories.
However, it seemed that the timing of our visit coincided with high tide, so instead of a sand walk, we ended up doing sand swimming, which was a bit disappointing. The water level was just about at the point where my toes could barely touch the bottom. I thought I would check the tide times before participating next time.
But even with the high tide, it was truly a valuable experience.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Hawaii.

従妹とふたりで行く予定でしたが、従妹が当日行けなくなり、ひとりで参加しました。ひとりで参加するのは心細かったですが、ガイド・スタッフの皆さんがとても温かく対応してくださったので、ひとりでも充分楽しめました。本当に感謝しています。
ツアーの内容も充実していました。船上でいただいたマラサダ・BBQランチは、とてもおいしかったです。ウミガメに何度も会えましたし、いい思い出になりました。
ただ、行った時間がちょうど満潮だったようで、サンドウォークではなくサンドスイミングになってしまったのが残念でした。つま先がやっと届くかどうかという感じの水位でした。次回は、満潮の時間かどうか調べてから参加しようと思いました。
でも、満潮だったことも含め、本当に貴重な経験ができました。
ハワイに行く人にぜひぜひお薦めしたいツアーです。

I use this every time I travel to Hawaii, and I was very satisfied with the deliciousness and portion size, as well as the wonderful service from the staff.

毎回ハワイ旅行では利用していますが、美味しさ、量が丁度よく、スタッフの対応もすばらしく、大満足でした。

This tour is an essential activity every time I visit Hawaii. There’s nothing quite like seeing dolphins and swimming with them; it’s so healing. However, this time, for the seventh visit, there were no dolphins... The sea was indeed quite rough, and it wasn’t a situation where the dolphins or turtles could relax.

During the cruising, the staff really tried to lift our spirits more than usual, but it was still disappointing. It seems that the dolphins headed to a completely different location from where they usually are, and the captain mentioned that it would be difficult to chase after them once we received that information due to time constraints. I understand that they are wild animals, and it’s beyond anyone's control, but is it really that difficult to catch information about dolphin movements every day before setting out?

A friend who was seeing dolphins for the first time was also very disappointed, but we agreed that maybe it was a chance to say, "Come back to Hawaii again!"

Next time, we’ll be waiting for you, dolphins!

こちらのツアーは、渡ハの度に欠かせないアクティビティです。イルカを見て一緒の海で泳ぐ、こんなに癒されることはありません。しかし、今回、7回目で初めて、イルカがいない。。。確かに、海はうねりが強く、イルカもカメも落ち着いて休める状況ではありませんでした。
クルージング中は、いつも以上にスタッフが盛り上げてくれましたが、やはり、残念に思いました。朝から、いつもとは全く異なる場所にイルカたちは向かったようで、その情報が入ってから追いかけることは時間的に難しいと、キャプテンから話がありました。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないことは承知していますが、毎日、イルカの動向の情報をキャッチしてから、船を出すことは難しいのでしょうか？
今回、イルカを見るのが初めての友人も、とても残念がっていましたが、「また、ハワイにおいでよ」と、チャンスをくれたのかもね！と、納得しました。
次は待っててね、イルカさん。

It was my first snorkeling experience in a while. I encountered a turtle! When I swam at Papohaku Beach on the Big Island, I also swam all the way to the waves, and this was the second time during this trip. What a memorable journey it has been! Right now, I'm reminiscing while listening to Hawaiian music. I will definitely go again.

久々のシュノーケリングでした。
なんと亀さんに遭遇です。
ハワイ島のパプナビーチで泳いだときも波打ち側まで泳いでまして、今回がこの旅の最中で２回目でした。
なんと記念に残る思い出の旅だったことか。
今、ハワイアン聞きながら思いでに浸ってます。
また、いきますね。

I was able to enjoy the sea.

Even after the meeting time had passed by 20 minutes, the other participants were also feeling anxious. The bus driver only spoke English, so the apology was in English. I could understand it somehow, but I think others might not have been satisfied…

The sandbar is shallow, but the sea is beautiful. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle up close! It was moving! After snorkeling, the staff kindly provided warm drinks and helped wash off the salt from our bodies, which was great! I would like to participate again.

海を堪能出来ました
集合時間20分過ぎても来なくて、私たち以外の参加者の人たちも不安がってました。バスの叔父さんは英語しか話せないのでお詫びも英語。自分は何とか聞けたけど他の方々はちょっと納得出来ないかな……と。

サンドバーは浅瀬ですが海は綺麗です。
シュノーケルは自分は潜ってたら間近にウミガメがいました！感動しました！
シュノーケルの後スタッフの方々の親切な気遣いで身体が温まる飲み物提供や身体についてる塩を流してくれたりでよかった！また参加したいです

We participated as a couple with our 8-year-old son. We were very excited to swim with the dolphins multiple times and see them up close. It was reassuring to have a guide from Japan, which made us feel safe participating. The guide was flexible and adapted to the dolphins' situation, allowing us to fully enjoy our time.

夫婦と８才の息子とで参加。何度もイルカと泳ぎ、間近でみることができて大変興奮しました。また日本の方がガイドなので安心して参加できます。イルカの状況によって臨機応変に対応されていたので、充実した時間を満喫することができました。

It seemed like the crew was bored to be there with us, they had no enthusiasm whatsoever. We paid $70/each for this cruise and did not even get to take a swim break. The 1st mate was the only one that would talk with us and that was only when we asked questions. The forward sail was torn and tatered, otherwise the boat was clean.
We were told we could leave items below deck so we would not get them wet. My wife left her shorts below and when we left she realized her lipstick and hand lotion had been taken out of her pocket. We could not beleive someone would steal personal items of no value. Unbelievalbe. Change the crew out find people that are excited to be there and care about your customers.
Luxury Afternoon Sail....no way did they meet their claim

It was a beautiful day with great weather, and the color of the sea and the scenery were wonderful. I was happy to see sea turtles in various spots. However, the sandbar was a bit disappointing because the water level was above my waist due to the high tide. The snorkeling was fantastic, as I got to see many different fish and corals, so I was very satisfied! The staff were incredibly kind, and my nearly 80-year-old mother, who was initially scared, also enjoyed herself. Next time, I would like to participate during low tide. Thank you!

とても良いお天気で、海の色も景色も素晴らしい日でした。海ガメのスポットでは、あちこちで姿を見ることが出来て良かったです。
ただサンドバーは、満ち潮だったので腰以上の水位で、ちょっと残念！シュノーケリングは、色々な魚達も珊瑚もたくさん見れたので大満足でした！スタッフの方達がすごく親切で、始め怖がっていた80近い母も楽しんでいました。次回は、引き潮時を狙って参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I participated in the deluxe plan with my parents, who are over 70, and seven friends and their sons. We arrived in about 30 minutes by car from Honolulu. They distributed maps on the bus and provided explanations in Japanese, so we were able to navigate easily upon arrival. There were numerous attractions that you definitely can't experience at pools in Japan. My 74-year-old mother enjoyed herself alongside the younger kids. There are pools that are enjoyable for families with small children, but I highly recommend going with a larger group, such as young friends or company trips (since there are attractions that can be enjoyed by four or more people). I think the duration of our stay was just right. The deluxe plan includes lunch and a bodyboarding lesson, but I wasn't expecting much from the lunch. However, the bodyboarding lesson was special since we had exclusive access to the wave pool, and it was fun. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I recommend the deluxe plan since it's worth it.

70歳過ぎの両親と友人とその息子たち7名でデラックススプランにて参加しました。ホノルルから車で約30分で到着。バスの中で地図を配られ日本語での説明があるので到着後は迷うことなく利用できました。日本のプールでは絶対に体験できないアトラクションの数々。74歳の母も若い子たちと一緒になって楽しんでいました。小さなお子さん連れでも楽しめるプールはありますが、ぜひ若いグループや会社の旅行など大勢で行っていただきたいです。（4人以上で楽しめるアトラクションがあるので）滞在時間もちょうど良かったと思います。デラックスプランには昼食とボディーボードレッスンが付いていますが昼食はあまり期待する内容ではありませんでした。しかしボディーボードレッスンは波のプールが貸し切りでの利用なので特別感もありますし楽しかったです。少し高めですがせっかくなのでデラックスプランがオススメです。

I thought it would change a lot depending on the weather. However, since we definitely can't go on our own, I think it's a good idea to use tours like this. Everyone was very kind, so I would like to use it again.

お天気次第でとても変わってくると思いました。でも、自分たちでは絶対に行けないので、こうしたツアーを利用するのはいいと思います。皆さん親切にしていただいたので、また利用したいです。

Unfortunately, the sandy beach didn't appear as beautifully as I hoped, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I was very satisfied with the beach volleyball and snorkeling! I have many wonderful photos and memories now!☆

残念ながら砂浜はきれいに現れてくれませんでしたが、海の綺麗さは最高で、ビーチバレーやシュノーケルもでき大満足でした！素敵な写真と思い出がたくさん増えました☆
