All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This was an excellent show and we were so glad we attended. We actually chose to drive to Sea Park, however due to the distance and evening hours, we decided to contact Hawaii Activities to add the transportation 6 hours prior to departure. Hawaii Activities handled everything, and gave us simple instructions to hop aboard the tour bus which was a 1/2 block from where we stayed.

As for "Chiefs Luau", this was so much fun, the entertainment included so many from the crowd, and the "Chief" can definately entertain and bring so much laughter.

Plan on the early activities and particpate. They want to share there culture which is even more fun.

With the evening show, take a light jacket as it can get breezy once the sunsets.

Camera & Video - A MUST

The sea was very beautiful, the staff was entertaining, and I had a great time with my fourth-grade child. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I would definitely like to visit again.

とても綺麗な海で、スタッフも面白く、小学4年生の子供と一緒でしたが楽しませていただきました、ハワイに行く機会があれば是非さんしたいです。

This was my second half-day tour. I applied just by seeing "half-day tour" online, so I didn't realize that the activities available were limited. Due to a mistake in the guide's explanation, after waiting for my turn, I was told, "With this band color, you cannot go horseback riding," which was disappointing. If I had known in advance, I could have paid an additional fee to upgrade, but unfortunately, I didn't have the time.

Recently, it seems that the display has changed, and the available activities are listed, but I think it would be clearer to state, "Horseback riding is not available on this course." (By the way, upgrading is cheaper.) Also, since the guide for the pickup and drop-off is different, I couldn't ask immediately, and while I was having it confirmed at the reception, time passed, and I regret that time was wasted.

I think movie location tours and jeep tours can be enjoyable regardless of how many times you go, as the fun varies depending on the guide and the members you ride with.

2回目の半日ツアーでした。
ネットで「半日ツアー」とだけ見て申し込んだので、選べるアクティビティが限られていることがわかっていなかったのと、ガイドさんの説明間違いで、待って順番が回って来てから「このバンドの色では、乗馬はできません。」と言われ、がっかりしました。前もってわかっていれば、追加料金を払ってアップグレードできたのですが、時間がなくて残念でした。

最近では、表示が変わって、選べるアクティビティが書かれているようですが、「このコースでは乗馬はできません」と書いてあった方がわかりやすいと思います。（ちなみにアップグレードした方が安いです。）
また、送り迎えのガイドさんが違うので、すぐに尋ねようがなく、受付で確認してもらっているうちに時間がたってしまい、時間が無駄になったことが悔やまれます。

映画ロケ地めぐりツアーやジープツアーは、ガイドさんや乗ったメンバーによって面白さが違うので、何回行っても楽しめる内容だと思います。

well my husband and i drove there and we got there really early about 45 min before check in. the staff said they wont start boarding everyone till 1145 . so we walked around and returned at 1130. they were boarding already and we were last in line. i was really disappointed because i wanted window seat. well that didnt happen we sat in the middle of the ship. they started serving food right away. the food was ok it was a buffet so that was good since we didnt eat breakfast. we were out on the ocean for about 45 min before they found any whales. about 15 min before the ship started heading back they finally found the whales but they were sooo faw away that we couldnt see them. then they started heading back after like 3 spottings. i recommend rent your own boat and go or make sure you are first in line and you bring binoculars with you.

It was a very good value tour first thing in the morning. I was very satisfied to see whales.

朝一番のとてもお得なツアーでした。
クジラも見れて大満足です。

Since it was a day with strong winds, we took motion sickness medication for both ourselves and the kids. The breakfast selection was limited, but the taste was quite good with sausage, rice, and oranges. For about 45 minutes after boarding, we only saw the whales spouting a couple of times, but then we got to see their tails and fins coming up and down several times, as well as some backflips, which was incredibly exciting through the binoculars from the fourth deck. My husband filmed it, so the kids could watch it later (the kids stayed with their mother on the boat). While on board, they prioritized explanations in Japanese (on the deck, they provided Japanese guidance after the English announcements, but by then the whales had already submerged), and there were several staff members who spoke Japanese, with the captain even playing with our child. I recommend staying on the fourth deck even if you don't understand English, as it's easier to see from above. We were lucky. Thank you, Joy.

風の強い日の参加だったので、子供共々酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。朝食の種類は少ないですが、味はソーセージ、ご飯、オレンジなど結構美味しかった。乗船して４５分くらいは２.３度の鯨の潮吹きだけでしたが、そのうち鯨のしっぽや横向きでヒレを何度も上げ下げしたり背面ジャンプしたりと４階から双眼鏡越しに大興奮。横の主人がビデオ撮影してくれたので後から子供もゆっくり見られました（子供は母と船内で）。船内にいる間日本語での説明を優先してくれたり（デッキにいると英語の後に日本語案内、でもその時には鯨は潜ってしまう）、日本語の話せるスタッフが何人かいらっしゃり、キャプテンはうちの子供と遊んでいてくれていました。英語が分からなくても４階デッキにいることをおすすめします、上から見るほうがわかりやすいので。ラッキーでした。ジョイありがとう。

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter Tour at Sea Life Park. I was very satisfied with the local staff and the tour content. During the interaction with the dolphins, there were photo and DVD opportunities available for purchase later. After the Dolphin Encounter, you can freely explore the shows within the facility. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

シーライフパークのドルフィンエンカウンターツアーに参加しました。現地スタッフやツアー内容にはとても満足しています。イルカと触れ合っているところは、写真やDVDの撮影があり、後で購入できます。ドルフィンエンカウンターが終わった後は施設内のショーを自由に見学することができます。
全体的に大変満足のいくツアーでした。

I participated in the tour because the opportunity to ride a submarine is rare. However, I didn't see the kind of scenery that I expected from the website. I'm not sure if it was because the seabed was murky, but we couldn't see fish swimming all the time while submerged. Just when I thought I couldn't see anything, I would catch a glimpse of some fish or see the condition of a ship on the ocean floor, which wasn't quite what I had anticipated. Still, I believe the experience of riding a submarine was valuable.

潜水艦に乗る機会は珍しいためツアーに参加しました。ホームページで見る様な景色はあまり見られませんでした。海底が濁っていたためなのかはわかりませんが、潜水中にずっと魚が泳いでいるところを見れるわけではありません。何も見えないと思っていると少し魚が見えたり、海の底にある船の様子が見えたりと、期待していた感じではありませんでした。潜水艦に乗れたという経験は貴重だったと思います。

We participated as a family on January 2nd, and unfortunately, the weather was not great. I have seen whale watching up close in Japan, so it was just okay for me. We did see whales, but because the boat was large, we could only see their backs from a distance. However, the food was better than I expected, and I think it was nice to view Honolulu from the sea, especially since I've been there many times.

1月２日にファミリーで参加、あいにくの天候でした。
ホエールウオッチングは日本でも間近で見ているのでまあまあかな？と言う感じでした。
クジラは見れましたが舟が大きいせいもあり、遠くに背中が少し見える程度でした。でも思っていたより食事はおいしかったし、何度も行っているホノルルを海から眺めるのは良かったとおもいます。

We participated in the encounter with our child. The staff took pictures of us kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins using a special camera (which they later try to sell you), and the photos were very clear, capturing the kiss scene just like in travel brochures (the photos were even larger and better). I ended up buying all of them. It became a wonderful memory. If you have dinner reservations in Waikiki, I recommend the morning encounter. There may be delays with the bus; in my case, the pickup was 30 minutes late. Just for your reference.

こちらのエンカウンターに子供と参加。イルカとのキスや握手の写真を向こうの人が専用のカメラでとってくれ（最後には売り付ける）のですが、その写真は、とても鮮明で旅行のパンフレットに載っているキスシーンそのもの（写真はもっと大きいのでそれよりもいい）だったので、思わずすべて買ってしまいました。良い思い出になりました。夜ワイキキでご飯を予約しているのであれば、午前中のエンカウンターをお勧めします。バスが遅れる場合あり。自分の時は、ピックアップ時間30分過ぎました。参考まで。

I participated in whale watching for the first time. I was worried because the weather was bad, but I was able to see baby whales spouting water and jumping several times!! It was truly moving to see even the baby whales. Both my family, who visited Hawaii for the first time, and I, who have been to Hawaii multiple times, enjoyed it.

There was a bit of wind, but I think the boat didn't sway too much. However, since I usually get motion sickness easily, I took some motion sickness medication and wore a motion sickness band, but I still felt a little nauseous... If you're prone to motion sickness, you might need to take precautions.

初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
天気が悪かったので心配だったけど、子供のクジラが潮を吹いたり、ジャンプするのを何度も見られました!!
子供のクジラでも見られるとやっぱり感動です。
初めてハワイに行った家族でも、ハワイは何回も行っている私でも楽しめました。

風は少しありましたが、揺れはそれほど無かったほうだと思います。
でも普段から酔いやすい私は、酔い止め薬を飲んで、酔い止めバンドをしていましたが、少し酔いました。。。
酔いやすい方は酔い止め対策が必要かも。

I visited Wet 'n' Wild for the first time. I took my 11-year-old and 7-year-old sons, and they said it was really fun. Even small children who can't swim can enjoy it, but I think the water slides are mainly for upper elementary school students and adults. We went at the end of December, but there was no heated pool, and the water felt cold. I would recommend going in early spring when the water temperature is a bit warmer. The water slide where multiple people can ride together on a boat was a fun attraction that you can only experience here. My two sons were also excited.

初めてウェット＆ワイルドへ行きました。11歳と7歳の息子を連れ行ってきましたが、とても面白かったと息子たちは言っていました。泳ぎができない小さなお子様でも十分楽しめるでしょうが、ウォータースライダー系は、小学生高学年～大人迄が対象であると思いました。12月の年末に行きましたが、温水プールはなく、水は冷たく感じます。お勧めはもう少し水温があがる春先かなと思います。家族で複数人乗ってボートで滑り落ちるウォータースライダーは、ここでしか体感できない楽しいアトラクションでした。息子二人もエキサイトしていました。

Captain and crew,
Thank you very much for the wonderful time.
As the only Japanese participant, I greatly appreciated the individual explanations in Japanese.
I joined this time alone, and at first, I was a bit worried, but thanks to the crew's support, I was able to become friendly with the other participants, even exchanging handshakes and saying "thank you."
Thank you for the truly wonderful time and kindness.
I am considering participating again in two years.

キャプテン始めクルーの皆さま
大変楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
日本人が私1人という事で、個別に日本語で説明をして頂き。大変助かりました。
今回は1人での参加でした。最初は少し心配をしておりましたが、参加された方々とは「サンキュー」といって握手を交わし合うまで、親しくなれたのもクルーの皆さまのフォローがあったからです。
本当に素敵な時間と、やさしさをありがとうございました。
2年後になりますがまた是非、参加したと考えております。

It was a 2 to 3-hour cruise, and the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and we even saw a rainbow, making it an excellent tour. I wasn't expecting to see many whales, but we saw more than I anticipated, and the kids were thrilled. I didn't think we would see so many. The breakfast was also good. (The air conditioning on the boat was a bit too cold.) I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

２～３時間のクルージングでしたが、天気もよく景色もよく虹も見えて非常にいいツアーでした。
クジラはあまり期待していなかったのですが、期待以上に沢山見ることが出来、子供も喜んでおりました。
あんなにたくさん見れるとはおもいませんでした。
朝食もよかったです。
（船内のエアコンが効きすぎていてちょっと寒かった）
また機会があれば参加したいです。

The staff was great. The excursion was not very exciting I would have loved to spend more time with the dolphins but it seemed the staff was more into the whales. The captain was somewhat careless, my husband ended up on the floor. I would not do this excursion again.

I was able to see wild dolphins up close!
I participated in this tour alone for the first time, but the staff were very friendly and made it a fun and enjoyable experience.
I had a great time!
I've visited Hawaii many times, but this became my best memory in Hawaii.
I will definitely participate again!

野生のイルカを間近で見る事が出来ました！
一人で初めてこのツアーに参加しましたが
スタッフの方達もとても気さくで
優しく楽しくして下さいましたし
十分に楽しめました★
ハワイにはもう何度も訪れてますが
ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました(^o^)
また必ず参加します！

I visited Hawaii for the first time and encountered some incredibly fun activities. My wife wasn't very confident in swimming and had some anxiety about snorkeling, but it was no problem at all. The staff were cheerful, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. It's a must for anyone who wants to swim with wild dolphins and be rejuvenated.

初めてハワイに訪れたのですが、最高に面白いアクティビティに出会えました。
奥さんはあまり泳ぎが得意でなく、シュノーケリングに不安がありましたが、全然問題なかったです。
スタッフの方も陽気で、ものすごく楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
野生のイルカと泳ぎたい、癒されたい人必見です。

First time to Hawaii and first time for whale watching. The ship is big and nice, staff are friendly, and we get to see whales multiple times, sometimes at very close range, maybe 60 ft from the ship. Very good experience, and the price for morning shift is only $29.99, unbeatable. Overall very good!

The dolphin show provided performances that you can't see in Japan, and it was a lot of fun. Even small children enjoyed it, and adults were satisfied as well. However, it was a bit disappointing that the entire show was in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said. It would have been nice to have Japanese-speaking staff for activities other than the show.

イルカのショーが日本では見られないようなパフォーマンスをしてくれて楽しかったです。
小さい子供も楽しめましたし、大人が見ても満足です。
ただ、ショーは全部英語だったので、何を言っているのかわからなかったのが残念です。
アクティビティ以外のスタッフは、日本語スタッフが良かったです。

I participated in the morning activities. I only used Star of Honolulu for the dinner cruise, but I wish there was an afternoon whale watching + sunset dinner cruise.

Considering the cost, it was affordable and I got to see whales, so that's okay?

Last March, I had a lot of fun with a large pod of dolphins, whales, and snorkeling.

Please come up with various plans.

午前中のものに参加しました。スターオブホノルルはディナークルーズでしか、利用しなかったのですが、午後ホエールウオッチ＋サンセットクルーズディナーが、あればいいのにと思いました。

コスト的にはお安く鯨がみえたので、まあいいか？

昨年、３月は、イルカの大群と鯨とシュノーケルで随分楽しみました。

色々な企画を考えてください。

On the day of our visit, we were informed that some attractions were temporarily closed due to a pipe malfunction, but we decided to go anyway since we were already there.

When we arrived, there were only a few people, likely due to the malfunction, and we were the only Japanese visitors.

Despite that, there were many different types of attractions, all of which made us want to slide down repeatedly. Some of the staff members spoke Japanese, but the primary language was English. However, this was not a problem at all.

In the afternoon, the attractions were back up and running, and the number of visitors increased, but we never had to wait too long throughout the day.

There were many attractions that you can't find in Japan, and we were able to enjoy a different kind of experience than at the beach, so I highly recommend it!

当日はバスの迎えの時点で、前日にパイプ？の故障により一部アトラクションが停止中とのことでしたが、せっかくだから...と思い行ってきました。

着いてみると、故障のせいもあってか人数はパラパラと人がいるくらいで日本人は私たちだけでした。

それでも、アトラクションはたくさん種類があり、何度もすべりたくなるようなものばかりでした。係りの方々の中には日本語を話せる方もいるようでしたが、基本は英語でしたね。でも、全く問題はなかったです。

午後になると、アトラクションこ復旧し人数も増えてきましたが、かなり待たされるということは一日を通してなかったです。

日本にはないアトラクションがたくさんありましたし、ビーチとは違う楽しみ方ができたのでおすすめです！

We really enjoyed our day. The staff was great and we saw at least 2 pods of wales. Not sure if they are called pods but we saw them. The breakfast was good but the eggs were a bit grainey. It was worth the price we paid.

As soon as we set sail, a whale jumped for us. It was a bit far away, though.

I recommend heading to the deck as soon as you set sail.

出港してすぐに、クジラがジャンプしてくれました。ちょっと遠かったけど。

出港したらすぐに甲板に出ることをお勧めします。

We participated as a family. We joined the program that included a handshake and kiss with dolphins.

The facility is not very large, so it gives the impression of a small zoo.

It seemed like you could visit without needing to book a tour.

The view outside was spectacular, and small children were playing in the tide pools. That might have been even more fun.

ファミリーで参加しました。
イルカとのハンドシェイク＆Kissという内容で参加。

施設は広くないので小さい動物園という印象。

ツアー申し込みをしなくてもいけそうな感じでした。

外の景色が絶景で、小さい子供たちが潮だまりで遊んでいました。
そっちの方がむしろ楽しかったかも。

I had been wanting to go to the Heaven's Sea with Captain Bruce, so I signed up this time. I checked the low tide times and decided whether to go in the morning or afternoon.
It was fun swimming with the turtles and snorkeling. The water was a bit cold.

We also enjoyed a BBQ with the family.

It's definitely worth going once.

天国の海は是非キャプテンブルースでと思ってましたので今回申し込みました。いちおう引き潮の時間を調べてから午前・午後にするか決めました。
亀と一緒におよいだり、シュノーケルをしたり楽しかったです。
ちょっと水は冷たかったです。

BBQも楽しく家族で食べました。

一回行く価値はあります

Despite the terrible weather, it was ultimately a fairly enjoyable tour.

First of all, the BBQ meal was surprisingly delicious. The boat was quite comfortable. When we went to the area with sea turtles, there were a decent number of them. However, later during the snorkeling time, only large sea turtles came close, specifically for this tour. You can buy an underwater camera on the boat, but if you want to save money, it's better to buy one in advance. You can also take a two-shot with the turtles.

This tour is not suitable for those hoping for serious snorkeling. The instruction is at a beginner level, and the snorkeling time is only about five minutes.

お天気最悪の中でも最終的にはまずまず楽しめたツアーでした。

まずBBQのお食事が想像以上に美味しかったです。
船はなかなか快適に出来ていました。
ウミガメのエリアに行くと、そこそこウミガメがいました。
が、その後、シュノーケル位の時間になると、大きなウミガメがこのツアーに限って寄ってきます。
水中カメラは船でも買えますが、安く済ませたい人は事前に買っていくと良いです。
カメと並んでツーショットも可能です。

本格的なシュノーケルを希望の方には向かないツアーです。
シュノーケルの１，２，３からの講習になり、シュノーケルの時間は５分程度しかありません。

I saw a humpback whale for the first time. It was a moment of deep emotion, and I thought I might not get to see it, but after witnessing the spout, I saw its tail and then saw it two more times, for a total of four sightings. The 90% encounter rate is no lie.

ザトウクジラをはじめて見た。
感動の一瞬であり、みれないかもとおもったが、潮吹きをみたあと、おびれがみれその後２回、計４回みれた、遭遇率９０％はうそじゃない。

The cruising experience was enjoyable. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. Since they didn't search for whales very much, it's better not to have high expectations.

クルージングは普通に楽しめました。
残念ながらクジラは見れませんでした。
クジラを見るのは、あまり探してくれなかったので、期待しすぎないほうがよい。

We participated in a breakfast course with three family members. We saw the tail just once, but our child is only five years old, so we didn't have time to lift them up and see it properly. The breakfast was delicious. Since we ate in the dining room on the first floor, it didn't have the excitement of a 3-star or 5-star cruise. If a whale had appeared, it would have been more lively, but without that, we were just staring at the waves, which became boring. I think snorkeling would be better for families with children.

家族３人で朝食つきコースに参加しました。
一回だけ尻尾がでたのですが、子供はまだ５歳。
もちあげる時間もなく、見ることはできませんでした。
朝食はおいしかったです。
一階の食堂で食べるので、３スターや、５スターのクルーズの楽しさはありません。
くじらが出れば、まわりも盛り上がるのでしょうが、出ないとただ波間を眺めているだけなので、退屈してしまいました。
子供連れの方は、スノーケリングのがいいと思います。

Thank you for your support at the end of last year.

Thanks to the friendly staff, I was able to have a great time even though I participated alone.

I was truly happy to play with my favorite dolphins, but it seemed like there were fewer dolphins than usual??? Well, I guess that's just how it is with wild animals...

I was also moved to encounter other rare characters besides the dolphins!! Especially being able to see a humpback whale's tail up close and witnessing the relaxed姿 of the honu (sea turtle) underwater made for an amazing escape from reality, and I am very grateful for the wonderful memories I have kept in my heart♪

When I go to Hawaii again, I look forward to your support! _(._.)_

昨年末はお世話になりました。

気さくなスタッフのおかげで一人参加にもかかわらず
楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

大好きなイルカと戯れることができて本当に幸せでしたけど
例年よりもイルカの数が少なかったような？？？
まぁ、野生だから仕方ないですけど･･･

イルカ以外の貴重なキャラクターにも出逢えて感動でした!!
特にザトウクジラのテールを真近で見れたり、
ホヌのまったりした姿を海中で見れたりして最高な現実逃避に
とても素敵な思い出を胸に秘められて感謝です♪

またハワイへ行った際には、どうぞよろしくお願いします_(. .)_
