All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This type of pool... I don't think there is anything like it in Japan? Anyway, it's so exciting!! It was great to receive the floatation devices down below and carry them up to slide down. It felt very homey... However, the equipment for the tornado was quite heavy. It was tough for us, with two adults and two young children!! But once you slide down, you forget all that effort and get really pumped up! No matter who you are, you feel like a kid again...

こんなタイプのプール。。日本にないのではないでしょうか？ とにかくエキサイティング！！ 下で浮き輪というか、乗る物を受け取って自分たちで運んで上から滑ってくるのが良かった。。何かとてもアットホームな感じで。。でも、トルネードで乗るものはかなり重くて。大人プラス低学年2人に私たちには辛かった！！ でも、滑るとその苦労も忘れるくらい、テンション上がります！ 誰が言っても子供に帰ります。。

I wanted to show my 5-year-old child a whale, but they got bored staring at the ocean for too long and were in a bit of a mood. However, they seemed to enjoy the buffet and ate a lot. We also had a great time making leis after the meal!

5歳の子供にクジラを見せてあげたかったのですが、ずっと海を眺めているのに退屈してしまい、ご機嫌ナナメ。でも、ビュッフェは楽しかったようで、モリモリ食べてくれました。また、食後のレイ作りも楽しかったです！

I participated because I wanted to see whales that are unique to this season. I didn't have high expectations since I heard mixed reviews about whether people saw them or not, but luckily, the weather was clear and hot that day, and I was able to see 5 to 6 breaches! I think I was very lucky. Since photos capture moments, it might be better to use video instead. Also, I opted for the breakfast option, but if you take your time eating, you might miss the moments, so it might not have been necessary. Sorry to the tour staff.

この時期ならではのホエールを見たくて参加。クチコミはあまり見れなかったとか見れたとか色々で運不運もあるかと期待しなかったのですが、この日は晴天で暑かったことも幸いしてか、5～6回の背うちが見れました！とてもラッキーだったと思います。写真は瞬間なので難しいのでムービーかビデオがいいかもしれません。それと朝食付きにしたのですが、ゆっくり食べていると瞬間見逃す場合もあるので無くてもよかったかもしれません。ツアーの方すみません。

TRAVELING: MOM/DAD/a 16 year old/3 year old / a 6 month old infant :)

Overall:
It was a good experience. But if I had to do it again, I would just stay on beautiful Waikiki beach.

RIDES:
Park is great and have a few good rides. It is not huge. The wave pool is the best :) Also they have some good pools and small slides for the 3-year old to have a lot of fun. Water was not 100% clean but acceptable. wave pool was very clean :)

FOOD: BAD BAD BAD!
Only negative is the food. They tell you "NO OUTSIDE FOOD" but the food court is really below average quality. Even for a park. And pricey. Eat a good/healthy breakfast and bring in a few granola bars, ... to keep me going until 3:30 when they close. It is not that long... you dont want to fill yourself up with greasy food when you are going on rides, anyway :) $9 french fries were really old and not attractive at all.

Transportation was great, on time, and friendly.

Overall we had fun and it was a good memory. Thanks.

I signed up because I wanted to take pictures of whales. Since it was the end of the season on April 13, and someone who went in January said they "didn't see any," I participated without much expectation... But, wonderfully, the whales showed up! In fact, they appeared 4 to 5 times (their heads?). I couldn't hear the captain's (or guide's?) announcements about whale sightings well in English, but I followed the dash of the foreign children, and somehow managed to take some pictures. It would have been perfect if I could have taken photos a bit closer, but seeing this much is enough, right!? I signed up without lunch this time, and it was the right choice because if I wanted to keep taking pictures, there wouldn't have been time to eat.

クジラの写真を撮りたくて申し込みました。
4/13ということでシーズン終わりで、1月に行った人が「見れなかった」と言っていたので、期待せず参加しましたが・・・。
見事、クジラさん出てくれました！それも4～5回（頭？）も！
船長（？）によるクジラ発見案内は英語でよく聞き取れなかったのですが、外国の子供たちの歓声とともにダッシュする後をついて行って、写真を何とか撮ることが出来ました。
もう少し近くで撮影することができれば最高ですが、これだけ見れれば十分でしょう！？
今回ランチなしで申し込みましたが、常に写真を撮りたかったら食事している暇はなかったので正解でした。

I was able to see 3 to 4 whales spouting water and showing their dorsal fins and tails at the surface of the sea. They appeared quite frequently, so it was a satisfying tour overall. It would have been amazing to see them jump, but perhaps they were tired, as they only swam at the surface.

３～４頭の鯨の潮吹きや背びれ・尾ひれを海面に出すところを見ることができました。結構な頻度で姿を現したので、それなりに満足できるツアーでした。
ジャンプまで見れれば最高でしたが、お疲れなのか海面を泳ぐまででした。

I had a wonderful experience.

The chief host was truly entertaining, and I was laughing from start to finish. I laughed so much that my stomach hurt. I even forgot to eat at the buffet and could only manage one plate.

I enjoyed the Polynesian dance and music, but I think the highlight of the show was the chief's comedic talk. It was filled with warm and witty comments, fun jokes, and stories that resonated with the heart amidst all the laughter.

However, most of the chief's jokes are geared towards adults. There were many small children present, and there were moments when they could participate in the show, but overall, I believe it is primarily an adult-oriented show.

I went with my daughter, but I highly recommend it for couples celebrating anniversaries. The chief will celebrate with you.

When I go to Hawaii again, I would love to attend this show once more.

素晴らしい思い出ができました。

司会のチーフの方が、本当におもしろくて最初から最後まで笑いっぱなしでした。
笑いすぎてお腹が痛くなりました。ビュッフェなのに食べるのを忘れて一皿しか食べられないほどでした。

ポリネシアンダンスや音楽も楽しめましたが、このショーの一番の売りはコメディアンでもあるチーフのトークだと思います。暖かく機転のきいたコメント、楽しい冗談、笑いの中にも心に響くお話と盛りだくさんでした。

ただ、チーフのジョークの内容はほとんどが大人向きです。小さいお子様たちも多くいらしていて、ショーに参加できる場面もありましたが、基本は大人のためのショーだと思います。

私は娘と行きましたが、カップルで記念日の参加はおすすめです。チーフにお祝いしてもらえます。

ハワイに行った時は、また行きたいと思います。

I had heard that it was the season to see a lot of whales, so I was a bit anxious about whether we would see any... but I was very satisfied because we saw plenty. The boat was also large, so I was glad I didn't get seasick. It was great that it was a morning tour, allowing us to return to the hotel around noon, so we could enjoy plenty of activities in the afternoon.

クジラが多く見れる時期と聞いていたので、見れるのかなぁ...と不安でしたが、いっぱい見れて満足でした。
船も大きかったので、船酔いしなくて良かったです。
朝からのツアーで、お昼頃にはホテルに帰ってこれるので、午後にたっぷり遊べるのも良かったです。

The crew was lively and it was a lot of fun. The sandbar was cloudy, and I thought it would have been even more beautiful if it had been sunny. I definitely want to try again next time.

クルーの方々はノリが良くてとても楽しかったです。
サンドバーは曇っていて、晴れていたらもっときれいだったんだろうなーと思います。
次回ぜひまたリベンジしたいです。

After finishing snorkeling and arriving at the port, I quickly changed in the restroom before getting on the bus. Some people returned to the hotel in their swimsuits, but it gets quite cold.

シュノーケリングが終わって港について、バスにのる前にトイレの中で大急ぎで着替えました。水着のままでホテルまで帰る人もいましたが、かなり体が冷えます。

To fulfill my mother's dream of swimming with dolphins, we participated in "Dolphin Adventure." My mother, who can't swim, was anxious, but the staff were very friendly and kind, and she was able to realize her dream safely! We touched and kissed the dolphin LAKA, and swam together! In reality, the swimming lasted only about 10 seconds, but both my mother and I were super excited! It was a valuable experience for us. Thank you, LAKA!

イルカと泳ぎたい！という母の夢をかなえるため、“ドルフィンアドベンチャー”に参加しました。
泳げない母は不安になっていましたが、スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで優しく、無事に夢をかなえることができました‼︎
イルカのLAKAちゃんに、触れたり、キスしたり、そして一緒に泳ぎました！実際、泳いでるのは10秒ないくらいのあっという間の時間でしたが、母も私も大興奮‼︎
貴重な経験をさせて頂きましたo(^▽^)o
LAKAちゃん、ありがとう♡

when we stepped off the plane and walked about 100 ft there was a young girl standing there with a placard and my name was on it smiling. She put them on and said aloha! very friendly!!

Many attractions were closed on weekdays, which disappointed the kids. The all-you-can-eat barbecue included steak, chicken, potatoes, and salad, but the selection was lacking. I can't recommend this. However, I suggest that first-time visitors go during the hotter months.

平日だったのでやってないアトラクションが多々あり子供は残念がっていました。
食べ放題のバーベキューはステーキとチキン、ポテトにサラダと品数が？？これはおすすめできません。
まぁ、はじめて行かれる方は暑い時期に行かれることをお勧めします。

I'm glad I got to see wild whales for the first time, but they didn't jump or anything, so I didn't feel much excitement. But I guess that's just how whales are (laughs). They seemed to swim alongside us for a long time, occasionally blowing air and showing their backs. The staff were all very nice, and you could tell they wanted to make it enjoyable for everyone. It's a big boat, so it's less likely to make you seasick, but it's still a good idea to take some motion sickness medication just in case.

野生のクジラを初めて見れてよかったですが、ジャンプなどしてくれるわけでなかったので迫力は感じられませんでした。でもこれはクジラの気分なのでしょうがないです（笑）
ずっと横には泳いでいたようなのですが、時々潮を吹いて背中が見えるくらい。
スタッフはみなさん感じがよく、楽しませようという感じが伝わってきました。
大きい船なので酔いにくいですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が安心です。

The crew was great, the ship was great, the meal was very good, the cruise was exciting and the snorkel equipment was excellent. The water was particularly choppy due to high winds and that made snorkeling for only the fittest among us difficult. The two youngest (12 and 17) had no problem and were in fact the last ones out of the water. We saw a couple sea turtles, a bottle-nose dolphin, and a couple pods of humpbacks (in the distance). Overall, circumstances beyond the crew's control being what they were, we really enjoyed this excursion.

The museums and displays at Pearl Harbor were way more than we expected. My teens aren't always enthusiastic about history but they were very engaged with these activities and when we went out to the Arizona Memorial, it was clear they understood the import of this place in American history. Very moving. The Missouri was well worth the time and investment.

We had a great time! The food was good and we loved the view of the ocean. When we first arrived they took a family picture of us. It was nice to have a group picture. :) Even though it was windy that day we still saw some whales. It was amazing to see whales!!! It was too bad that it didn't jump high, but it was still exciting to see their backs and tails. The leis and ukulele class were on at the same time. It did go by fast so we didn't get to join both classes. However, we loved making leis with real flowers!! We had a wonderful experience.

Whenever I go to Hawaii, I always spend at least one day on this tour. It's fun no matter how many times I go, and the barbecue is delicious. This time, the weather was really nice, and it was the best. I was surprised to see a sea turtle up close.

ハワイに行くと必ず1日はこのツアーに行きます。
何度行っても楽しいしバーベキューも美味しいです。
今回は天気もとてもよくて、最高でした。間近にウミガメ接近でびっくり。

On the day of the event, the waves were high and the weather wasn't great, but the staff's strong desire for the participants to see the dolphins really came through. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to see the dolphins up close, even if it was just for a short time. Next time, I would like to join this tour again on a day with better weather.

当日は波も高く天候もすぐれてはなかったけど、スタッフの皆さんの何とかイルカを参加者に見てほしいという気持ちがとても伝わりました。その甲斐あってわずかの時間でしたがイルカをまじかで見ることができました。次回は天候のいい日にもいう一度こちらのツアーでお願いします。

My friend was visiting Oahu for the first time, so I chose this experience thinking we could enjoy various aspects of Hawaiian culture on board. We made leis, danced hula, and played the ukulele. Since it was a weekday, there were no group tours, so we didn't have to wait in long lines for the buffet. Depending on where you sit, it seems you could also see dolphins and whales. It might be worth a visit.

お友達が、オアフ島への訪問が初めてだったので・・船内でハワイの文化を色々体験できると思い選びました。レイを作ったり、フラダンスを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いたり、平日だった為か団体ツアーが入っておらずバイキングでも長蛇の列を並ぶ必要はありませんでした。座る場所次第でイルカやクジラも見えた様です。行ってみても良いかも。

I was anxious because the bus didn't arrive for 30 minutes after our meeting time, but it eventually came, so I thought it might be the relaxed style of Hawaii. The Japanese guide provided thorough explanations and kept the atmosphere lively, and I was able to swim with sea turtles. It was truly paradise! It changed my perspective on life. Thank you very much!

待ち合わせ時間からバスが30分来なくて焦りましたが
ちゃんと来たので、ハワイのゆっくりなスタイルなのかなと思いました
日本人ガイドさんがしっかり説明して頂けて、盛り上げてくれるし、ウミガメ一緒に泳げました
まさに天国でした！人生の価値観が変わります
ありがとうございました

I participated with my daughter who is studying abroad in Hawaii. The feeling of standing on the sand while being surrounded by the ocean in 360° was an emotional experience that you can't have in Japan. It was also my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, so we swam together without any anxiety and had a great time. We saw a lot of fish as well.

However, since it was still the rainy season in March and it was early in the morning, it was a bit cold, and the only drink available was cold soda. It was also a bit disappointing that there was no warm coffee during snack time, so I would rate it minus one star for that.

The staff members were all very cheerful and energetic, and they took a lot of photos for us, which was great. We had plans afterward, so we chose the early morning plan, but I think those with more time could join a plan that allows for a more leisurely experience.

　ハワイに留学中の娘と参加しました。３６０°海の中なのに砂場に立っている、という不思議な感覚は日本では味わえない感動的なものでした。スノーケリングも初めて体験しましたが、とても丁寧に説明していただき、みんなで泳いでいくので、全く不安がなく楽しめました。たくさん魚も見られました。
　ただ、３月はまだ雨季で朝早かったので少し寒く、飲み物が冷たい炭酸しかなかったり、スナックタイムにも暖かいコーヒーがなかったり、ということが少し残念でしたのでマイナス１です。
　スタッフの方たちは、みんなすごく明るく元気で写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてよかったです。私たちはそのあと予定があったので、早朝プランにしましたが、時間のある方はもっとゆっくりできるプランに参加されてもいいと思います。

The weather was nice, and it was a place more beautiful and wonderful than I imagined. I really felt that it was worth coming here! I even got to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which made me very satisfied! The hamburger was delicious, and I was really happy to have hot cocoa after coming out of the sea. It gets chilly after swimming, so a cover-up is essential. I'm glad I brought a rash guard since the sun was strong. The staff were friendly, and I had a great time! I want to go again.

天気もよくて、想像以上に綺麗で素敵な場所でした。
来てよかったーって本当に思いました♬
シュノーケルではウミガメにも会えたし、大満足！
ハンバーガーもおいしかったし、海から上がった後のホットココアがすごく嬉しかったです。海からあがると冷えるので羽織りものは必須ですね。
日差し強いのでラッシュガードは持ってってよかったです。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとっても楽しかったです！
また行きたいな。

I chose a package where we could interact with rays because my second daughter loves them. Suddenly, we were handed snorkeling gear, and my 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters, along with my 71-year-old mother, all tried snorkeling for the first time in their lives. Floating in a deep pool with swimming fish felt refreshing, as if we were entering a fish world. The sensation of touching the belly of a large ray was unlike that of a dolphin, with an indescribable smoothness. I was also thrilled to see fish swarm around the lettuce I held in my hand.

For those who might feel uneasy about floating in a pool where they can't reach the bottom with just a life jacket, it could be challenging.

次女が「エイ」が大好きなので、エイとも触れ合えるパッケージにしました。
いきなりシュノーケルを渡され、４歳、７歳の娘たちも７１歳の母も人生初シュノーケリングに挑戦。
魚が泳ぐ深いプールにぷかぷか浮かび、魚の世界に入れてもらう感じが新鮮でした。
大きなエイのおなかにタッチした感触は、イルカとも違って、なんともいえない滑らかさ。
手に持ったレタスに魚たちが群がるのにも感激しました。

シュノーケルや足が絶対届かないプールにライフジャケットだけで浮かぶことに抵抗がある方には、難しいかもしれません。

Fantastic tour to awesome sites. Great commentary from our guide Robert. Mahalo!

I signed up on a whim considering the local weather, but I was able to participate without any worries thanks to the courteous service. It was a lot of fun.

現地で天候を考えながら思いつきで申込みましたが、丁寧な対応で不安なく参加できました。とても楽しかったです。

Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service. The entertainment after dinner was fantastic. Truly, truly mesmerizing.
Would recommend without hesitation.

Despite the cloudy and Rainy conditions the staff made it an excellent and enjoyable experience! The sandbar volleyball was fun! The only critique I would have is to clean the bathrooms more regularly as they were backed up and it made the whole inside cabin smell.

I used this with family and friends. Everyone was excited about diving at a depth we usually can't reach! We even saw sea turtles and rays (*☻-☻*). It was truly amazing!!!

ファミリー＆友人との団体で利用しました。
普段潜ることができないくらいの深さの潜水にみんな興奮！
なんとウミガメもエイも見れました(*☻-☻*)
感激ひとしおです！！！

I used this service with my family and friends as a group. I was excited about the claim of over 90% encounter rate, but... Despite it being a good time of year, we didn't see any whales up close... We only caught a glimpse of a few spouts and maybe a back, but it was hard to tell... My parents, who were on their first trip abroad, looked a bit disappointed (tears).

家族と友達と団体で利用しました。
90%以上の遭遇率とのうたい文句にきたいしましたが。。。
いい時期にもかかわらず、まじかでクジラは見られず。。。わずかな潮吹きと背中が見えたような見えなかったような。。。。
初海外の両親は少し残念そうにしてました(涙)
