All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This gets any star at all because we enjoyed the water and the sailboat. The ad for it is a total scam. It should say "come aboard our sailboat and let Mother Nature wave you around for exactly one hour and forty five minutes. ". It is a misleading ad as it says they have spared no cost in treating us to a lux cruise on board with Bose sound and large screen tv. Really? I think I may have heard a radio and who wants a tv anyway so why advertise it. They give you a drink ticket and when hmm husband ordered a Heineken she passed him some crappy off brand can. The Heineken was only available for purchase once you redeem your free ticket. The ad also talks about wildlife and don't really count on any. It is not a cruise to a specific place where there are known sea life. So, two stars one for the boat even tho the sail had a big rip in it and one star for the crew who showed us how to use a life jacket. The rest of it is the beautiful nature of the water which all of the scammers are taking advantage of as they steal tourists money.

I had an amazing time. I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff. The kids said it was the most fun among all the optional tours they participated in. I think this tour offers great value for the price.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。スタッフの方のホスピタリティに脱帽。子供たちもいろいろ参加したオプションツアーの中で一番楽しかったそうです。
このツアーはコスパーはとても良いと思います。

Representative Amy was waiting for us right outside our gait. She presented us with beautiful leis and escorted us to baggage claim, all the white answering our questions about local spots we wanted to check out. She was super friendly and even took some pictures of us wearing our leis with my friend's camera at our request. I definitely recommend this service!

A very friendly greeting from a nice young lady that was very helpful.

We used the deluxe plan for a family of four. The shuttle bus arrived on time, allowing us to enter the park smoothly, and we were able to enjoy the pool and attractions.

However, when we arrived a bit late for the BBQ buffet during lunch, almost everything except for the grilled meat was gone, and there were no additional replenishments of fruits or salads. In the end, our lunch consisted of just a little rice and meat.

The plan mentioned that we would receive park souvenirs (a souvenir cup), but we didn't receive anything at all. Do we need to request it to get it?

The park itself is a very enjoyable place, and all the shuttle staff were kind, but if we go again, I think we might rent a car and skip the BBQ.

デラックスプランで家族４人で利用しました。
送迎バスも時間どおりに来てくれて、スムーズに入園でき、プール、アトラクションを楽しむことができました。
ＢＢＱバイキングは、ランチ時間に少し遅れていくと、焼き肉以外はほとんど無くなっていて、フルーツやサラダなど追加補充されることなく、結局、少しのご飯と肉だけのランチになってしまいました。
プラン内容にパーク記念品（おみやげカップ）がもらえる旨、書かれていますが、いっさい何ももらえませんでした。申告しないともらえないのですか？
パーク自体はとても楽しめる場所ですし、送迎スタッフの方も皆さん親切でしたが、次に行くとしたら、レンタカーでＢＢＱ付けずに行くかな？と思いました。

On our last day in Hawaii, my girlfriend and I dressed up and boarded a boat, but it felt like a children's summer camp from the movie The Addams Family, with an overly cheerful muscle crew interacting with families and elderly couples in a typically American, broad manner. The food was terrible, mostly fried items that would have been better left unserved. It might be fine for families with children under 13 or elderly couples, but I can't recommend it for couples. My girlfriend felt seasick and became moody, stopping talking altogether. Everyone seemed to be happily enjoying the sea turtles popping up, but I wondered if it was really that fun. This tour, which only goes a short distance from Waikiki Beach, reminded me a lot of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride I took at Disney World in Florida long ago. We boarded a submarine-like attraction that was full with just 15 people, dove only 2 meters, and saw a mechanical octopus that was broken and wouldn't move, with dads exclaiming "Waoooo!!" to their kids. It brought back that atmosphere.

I feel bad for my girlfriend...

ハワイ最後の日の思い出にと彼女とオシャレして船に乗り込んだものの、映画アダムスファミリーの子供向け夏合宿のごとく、やたら陽気一辺倒のマッスルクルーがマッスルスマイルで家族連れから老夫婦迄、アメリカ特有の大雑把なくくりで終始対応していた。食事は最悪で出さない方がまだましな揚げ物系ばかり。家族連れの13歳未満のお子様、老夫婦には丁度いいが、カップルにはお勧め出来ない。私の彼女は船酔いもあって気分悪く不機嫌になって喋らなくなってしまった。海カメが顔だしているのを皆まんぞくげに喜んでいたが、そんなに楽しいのだろうか？ワイキキビーチからわずかに遠くに行くだけの本ツアーは、昔フロリダのディズニーワールドで乗った海底2万マイルとよく似ている。15人も入ったら満員の潜水艦型アトラクションシップに乗込み、わずか2メートル潜水して、機械仕掛のしかも壊れて動かないタコがでてきて、お父さんが子供にWaoooo!!というやつ。あの雰囲気を思い出す。

彼女には悪いことしてしまった。。

This was something I arranged as a surprise for my wife. It was excellent. The delightful girl who met us had to wait nearly an hour after we had landed due to the high number of passengers going through immigration, but she had checked where we were and was waiting for us as we came through into arrivals. The look on my wife's face when she saw the girl with our names and had the lei put round her neck was a picture. The flowers were fresh and colourful and lasted all the holiday. We had a limousine booked to take us to our hotel and the girl took the trouble to get the driver's number and phone him to find out where he was parked, then helped us to the car with our bags. My wife wore the lei all holiday and was very sad to have to leave it when we left. Altogether a wonderful experience and one we will never forget. I recommend it to anyone.

You can't stay in Honolulu without seeing this magnificent tribute to the fallen military men and women of WWII. After attending a short film that told of December 7, 1941, we were then shuttled by boat to the Arizona. The sunken battleship still has oil that is leaking out of the tanks of the ship which you can actually smell. After this part of the tour, we went by bus to the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed with Japan. This was also very moving. As we headed back to Waikiki, we went by the Punchbowl Cemetery, China Town and got to see the State Building where the statue of King Kamehameha stands in front. This is the first thing that you see in the Hawaii 5 0 show when it starts. This is a great tour, and has all the must sees!

Was everything that we expected and much more. Good food, great entertainment and a lot of fun. My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu. Would highly recommend this for everyone...couples, families, and singles!

I participated because it had been my dream since childhood to swim with wild dolphins. I had to wear a life jacket the whole time, which was a bit disappointing compared to what I imagined a dolphin swim would be like, but I was moved when I heard the dolphins' voices and when they swam right underneath me. There were also many turtles that I could see up close, which was great. One downside was that the tour guide was a bit too talkative, which bothered me and made me feel uncomfortable during my time in Hawaii. There’s room for improvement, ◯-san... Also, it might be a bit tough for those who can't swim. The malasadas from Leonard's were delicious!

野生のイルカと泳ぐのが子どもの時からの夢だったので参加しました。ライフジャケットをずっと着用してなければいけないため、ドルフィンスイムを想像していくと少々期待はずれですがイルカの声が聞こえたりすぐ真下を通ったときは感動しました。カメもたくさんいて間近で見られ、とても良かったです。ひとつ残念だったのはツアーガイド?の方が、いつも一言多くていちいち勘に触ったので、ハワイに来て嫌な気分になりました。◯ーさん、改善の余地ありです…あと泳げない人は若干ツラいツアーかも。レナーズのマラサダおいしかった！

Since it was my child's first time in Hawaii, we booked a Dolphin Encounter as something special. We planned to go by rental car, so there weren't many options without transportation included, and we made the reservation here.

Our session was at 3:15 PM, but my child started shivering from the cold halfway through. The cooler time of day was not suitable for kids. The Japanese staff explained everything kindly, but once it started, the staff only spoke English, and since the main focus was on taking photos, we couldn't move (we had to take photos at the exit), which was sad because my child was just shivering the whole time.

The photos are expensive, but we bought one as a keepsake of my child kissing a dolphin. Next time, when my child is older, I would like to try the Dolphin Swim. The dolphins were cute but quite firm!

子供は初めてのハワイだったので、何か特別にとドルフィンエンカウンターを予約しました。
レンタカーで行く予定のため、送迎なしプランがあまりなく、こちらで予約しました。
15:15からの回でしたが、途中から子供が寒さで震えだしました。涼しくなる時間帯には子供は不向きでした。日本人スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれましたが、始まってしまうと英語のみのスタッフで、写真撮影がメインな為他の人の邪魔になるから(出口で撮影)うごけず、ずっと震えていて可哀想な事をしました。
写真は高いですが記念にイルカとkissしている物を購入しました。
次はもっと大きくなったら、ドルフィンスイムの方に挑戦してみたいです。
イルカは可愛くて硬かったですよ。

There are so many fun water slides that I've never experienced before! I played all day long and had a great time♪ However, most of the attractions require you to climb up hills and stairs, and many of them involve carrying large and heavy inner tubes yourself to slide down, so I was completely exhausted, more than during any other part of my trip to Hawaii. It might be tough for those who aren't very fit. But it's definitely worth a visit; I had so much fun!!

今までに経験したことのない楽しいウォータースライダーが沢山！１日いっぱい、遊び通しました。とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道＆階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、ハワイ旅行の中でもダントツでグッタリしました。体力のない人には辛いかもー
でも、一度は言ってみるべきですね、とっても楽しかったです！！

I thought the first boat would have a better encounter rate, but it was full, so we took the second boat. We departed the port after eating malasadas.

It took quite a while to reach the point where the dolphins were, but since it was summer vacation, there were seven children under 12 on board. Thanks to that, we were able to try three times and see dolphins each time, which was great. To be honest, it felt more like watching the dolphins swim underwater rather than swimming with them.

I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I didn't rent a wetsuit, but after getting out of the water and heading to the next point, it was a bit chilly.

There was a place to store luggage under the seats on the boat, but in some spots, people got soaked from the waves.

After that, we moved to a snorkeling point where we could see turtles and tried canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The stand-up paddleboarding felt more like paddling calmly on the sea like a canoe rather than riding the waves, and it seemed difficult to stand on the board.

On the way back, we had cheeseburgers. Along the way, we were also served warm tea, snacks, and juice.

Since we tried three times, there was no time to change, so everyone got on the bus in their swimsuits to return to the hotel. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and it was cold. Usually, it seems that people change in a spacious restroom.

Some experiences mention a strict guide, but we had a Japanese male guide who was very good.

第１便の方が遭遇率が良いのかと思いましたが、満員で第２便の出発となりました。
マラサダを食べてから港を出発。

イルカのいるポイントまで随分かかりましたが、この日夏休みと言うこともあり12歳以下の子供が７人もいると言う話でしたが、おかげで３回もチャレンジして頂き３回ともイルカを見ることが出来て良かったです。
正直一緒に泳ぐと言うかは水中でイルカが泳いでいるのを見ると言った感じでした。

私は長袖のラッシュガードを着用して行ったのでウェットスーツはレンタルしませんでしたが、海から上がりまた次のポイントまで船を走らせると少し肌寒かったです。

手荷物は船の座席の下にしまう場所がありましたが場所によっては波がかかりずぶ濡れになってる人もいました。

その後カメに会えるシュノーケルポイントに移動しカヌーやスタンダップ・パドルボードに挑戦。
スタンダップパドルは波に乗ると言うよりカヌーの様に穏やかな海の上を漕ぐだけでしたがボードに立つのが難しい様でした。

そして帰りながらチーズバーガーを頂きました。途中温かいお茶やスナック菓子やジュースも出ました。

今回は３回もチャレンジしたので時間が無く着替える時間も無かったので、皆水着のままバスに乗りホテルに帰りました。
バスの中はクーラーがガンガンに効いてて寒かったです。
普段は広めのトイレで着替えるようです。

体験談の中には厳しい口調のガイドだった事も書かれていますが、私達は日本人男性のガイドさんでとても良かったです。

Both my child and I had a great time. As expected, the certificate was also a nice surprise for the kids. The underwater map was very good as well.

親子ともとても楽しめました、やはり、子どもにとっては認定証もうれしかったようです。
海底地図もとてもよかったです。

You can swim with dolphins! It's tougher than you might imagine because they are wild animals. There are many challenging aspects, but it was a great tour that provided a lot of enjoyment.

イルカと一緒に泳げます！
想像以上に泳げないと厳しいです。だって相手が野生なので。
色々と厳しいポイントも多いですが、色々と楽しませてくれるいいツアーでした。

I participated in December. Since it was the beginning of the season, I thought the chances of seeing anything were low, and indeed, I didn't see much. I think I caught a glimpse of a dolphin. The boat was comfortable. For those who didn't see anything, they seem to offer retry tickets valid until April (during this season), but since I can't come to Hawaii that often, I hope they can make it valid for next year as well...

12月に参加しました。
シーズンの初めだったので、見られる可能性は低いと思っていましたが、
やはり見られませんでした。
いるかがちょっと見えたような。
船は快適でした。
見られなかった人には、4月まで（今シーズン中）のリトライのチケットをくれるようですが、
そんなに頻繁にはハワイにこられないので、
来年も使えるようにしてくれるとよいと思うのですが・・・

The sea was not as beautiful as I expected, and there were too many Japanese staff and customers, so it didn't feel foreign at all. However, the staff were kind, and the lunch was delicious.

思ったより海もきれくなくて、スタッフも日本人でお客さんも日本人多すぎて外国感がなかったです。
でもスタッフも優しく昼食はおいしかったです。

I had a great time! In beach volleyball, I was able to assist well and forgot my age while mingling with the young people. I also got to see turtles and there were many beautiful fish, which was wonderful.

楽しめました!!ビーチバレーでは、アシストが上手く若者に混じって年を忘れさせてくれました。亀も見れたし、キレイな魚も沢山いてたし、良かったです。

The experience at the sandbar was precious, but I was surprised when a sea turtle came close while I was snorkeling. I also had a great time trying paddle surfing! Next time, I want to participate with my family!

サンドバーでの体験も貴重ですが、シュノーケリングをして、すぐそばまでウミガメが近づいてきてくるのにはびっくりしました。また、パドルサーフィンの体験もさせて頂きとっても楽しかったです！！今度は家族でも参加したいです！！

My husband is a history buff so he was able to expand on the information provided by the tour guide and my children learned a lot. Very informative and interesting. I would recommend this to anybody wanted to learn more about American history! Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure to wear good walking shoes.

Don't just settle for the ocean in Hawaii! I was greedy and went to the pool. Since there was a shuttle service, we went straight from the hotel to the pool. Choosing the plan that included meals and drinks on-site was definitely the right choice!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a large-sized juice holder as a gift, which was great for carrying around. Also, my partner's first bodyboarding experience was hilarious! In the end, they managed to ride the board well (^o^).

I highly recommend this for families with small children. Sunscreen and comfortable beach sandals are essential items.

ハワイの海だけではもったいない！と欲張ってプールへ。送迎付きなのでホテルからプールまで直行。施設内の食事＆飲み物付プランを選んで正解！
なんとラージサイズ以上のジュースホルダーがプレゼントされ、どこへでも持ち運びできるのが良かったです。
また、相方の初ボディーボード体験は爆笑！最後は上手に乗れてましたよ(^o^)
小さなお子様や、家族連れの方には絶対おすすめです。
日焼け止めと、歩きやすいビーチサンダルは必須アイテムです。

Great boat, Great food we had the steak and lobster. Beautiful dancing and entertainment.If your in the area I recommend this for any one.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. Not only did we interact with dolphins, but we also swam with two dolphins, and one of them pushed us along with its belly. I was surprised by the high price, but I believe it became a lifelong memory for my daughter. One of the dolphins we swam with was the only Orfin (a hybrid of dolphin and whale) in the world.

Thank you, VELTRA, for your prompt email responses just before the tour and right before our departure from Japan.

８才の娘と参加しました。イルカとふれあうだけでなく２頭のイルカと一緒に泳いだり、イルカが足の裏を押し上げて泳いでくれたりしました。お値段は高めでびっくりしましたが、娘の一生の思い出になったと思います。一緒に泳いだイルカのうち一頭は、世界で唯一のオルフィン（イルカとクジラのハーフ）でした。

VELTRA様。ツアー催行直前、日本出発直前でも迅速なメール対応に感謝致します。

If you go on this tour, ask for bus 738. Patrick was our driver and guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgable and showed us a lot of interesting things and explained to us what we were being shown. When it came time for the tour Patrick had a handle on the process and made sure we knew what was expected during the actual memorial tour. Great job Royal Star!

Our lei greeter was very courteous and patient as she waited for them to disembark from the plane. Of course our guests were elated with their leis as she presented to them and she even offered to take pictures for us outside the terminal.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing...the most beautiful & picturesque sunset I have ever experienced in my life!
The buffet dinner was very nice, the fish was so fresh and just melted in your mouth, there were also pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, salad, veges and from memory Im sure there was rice. Unfortunately we did not experience the Hawaiian show nor the dessert (as the sunset captivated us for the time until the fireworks viewing!). My daughter (13 yrs old) and I thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise.

Timely pick-up, great folks, and tasty food. Oh, and did I mention dolphins! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can say that this is by far the best dolphin snorkel I've been on. I got my gear within 5 minutes of check-in and put in my lunch choice. Dolphin Excursions is an educationally based tour company and some of the people there are marine biologists. They seemed to read the behavior of the dolphins very well. The baby spinner dolphins are super cute! This is a great time of year because the dolphins are having babies so they are fun to watch. We went out about 3 times to snorkel, twice with the dolphins so close. I have never seen so many dolphins with me in the water, and you can even hear them 'singing' before you see them. When we got back, lunch was already made. The food is great at Spinner's Cafe, and the people are courteous. I had a great time and can say that many others did as well.

This time, I entered early. Thanks to that, I was able to ski a lot without waiting! By around noon, there was a line, so I was glad I managed my time well.

今回はアーリータイムで入場しました。おかげで待たずにたくさん滑れました！昼くらいには行列ができていたので時間を上手に使えて良かったです。

It was fun to sink to the bottom of the sea and see a lot of fish, but it was a bit disappointing that the colors were hard to distinguish and difficult to see.

海底に沈んでいって、たくさんの魚を見ることができて楽しかったが、色が分かりにくく、見えにくかったのが少し残念
