All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I think this tour, where you can play with dolphins, is great for dolphin lovers! I went with my kids, and it became a wonderful memory. They were thrilled to swim and have the dolphins push their feet! However, you need to bring a certain amount of money; otherwise, you might miss out on buying souvenir photos or DVDs. I thought it would be better not to bring too many valuables, so I only brought $70, which wasn't enough. You'll also need money to spend on-site.

イルカと遊ぶこのツアーイルカ好きにはいいと思います！
子供連れで行ったのですがいい記念になりました。
足の裏をイルカにプッシュしてもらって泳いだりと子供も大喜び！
ただある程度お金を持っていかないと記念写真やDVDを買い損ねます。あまり貴重品は持っていかないほうがいいかなと思って７０ドルしか持ってなかったら足りませんでした。
現地で使うお金も必要ですね。

I participated in the luxurious BBQ lunch plan that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of the event, and it was drizzling when we left the hotel in Waikiki. When we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, the sky was still covered with thick clouds, and it was windy and cold.

We took a boat close to the sandbar and walked from there for photos and DVD filming. It was just so cold that it was unbearable.

For snorkeling, we swam in two lines, but the strong wind made it difficult to move forward, and although it was only about ten minutes, it was quite tiring.

After that, we returned to the boat for the BBQ, but due to the cold, I didn't have much of an appetite and couldn't eat much.

However, it was a rare experience to see sea turtles swimming up close.

The DVD is prioritized for those who paid for it, and they take various poses for you. I think it will serve as a nice memento.

I believe the enjoyment of this activity is greatly affected by the weather. (The next day, I flew over the sandbar in a Cessna on a sunny day, and it was beautiful, which made me feel quite disappointed.)

午後出発の豪華ＢＢＱランチプランに参加しました。
当日はあいにくの空模様でワイキキのホテルを出発するときは小雨でした。カネオヘ湾に到着した時も空は厚い雲に覆われて風が強く寒かったです。
ボートでサンドバーの近くまで行き、そこから歩いて写真とＤＶＤ撮影。とにかく寒くてたまりませんでした。
シュノーケルは全員で２列縦隊になって泳いで行くのですが風が強くて流されてしまいなかなか前へ進めず、時間にして１０分くらいなのでしょうが結構疲れました。

そのあとボートに戻ってＢＢＱですが、あまりの寒さで食欲はなくそれほど食べれませんでした。

でも海亀が間近まで泳いでくるので貴重な体験ができました。

ＤＶＤは有料で申し込んだ人が優先的に映り、いろんなポーズとかで取ってくれます。一応、記念にはなると思います。

このアクティビティは天候により楽しさが大きく左右されると思います。(翌日、晴天の日にセスナの体験飛行でサンドバーの上空を飛びましたがとてもきれいでとても残念に思いました。）

Since my child is small, the attractions we could enjoy were limited, and the place felt unnecessarily spacious. There were also many attractions that were closed, so I didn't have much fun. The weather was bad and cold; my child was happy, but I don't want to go back.

子供が小さいせいもあるのですが、やれるアトラクションも限られてるし、無駄に広いし、閉鎖されているアトラクションも多くて、あまり楽しくなかったです。
天気も悪くて、寒かったし、子供は喜んでいましたが、もう行きたくないな。

This time, I participated with small children.
I recommend it for those who can't swim, get seasick, or small children who want to see marine life.
You can see a lot of sharks and tropical fish, and the kids were very happy!
Since it's air-conditioned, I recommend bringing a light jacket.

今回、小さい子供を連れての参加です。
泳げない人や、船酔いする人、小さいお子さんで海の生物を見たい人にはお勧めです。
鮫やら熱帯魚やらをたくさん見ることができ、子供たちもご機嫌！
冷房が利いているので、一枚羽織るものを思って行くことをお勧めします。

Since you won't see them if you don't go during this season, I went for the second time. The waves were a bit high, so they didn't appear for a while, but they finally showed themselves. They were a bit farther away than last time, but it was great to feel the size of the whales again. I recommend it for those who can go during the whale season.

この時期に行かないと見ないので、２回目ですが、行ってきました。
少し波が高いので、なかなか現れなかったのですが、ようやく姿を見せてくれました。
前回より遠めですが、改めて鯨の大きさを感じれて良かったです。
鯨のいる季節に行かれる方はお薦めです。

It was a wonderful sandy beach, sky, and sea. The weather was great, making it the perfect day. The staff were Japanese and very accommodating. I would like to participate again.

すばらしい砂浜、空、海。
天気も良くて最高の一日でした。スタッフの方も日本人で対応も良かったです。また参加したいです。

We participated as a family of five with children aged 7, 4, and 2. The weather was nice on the day of the event, the sea was calm, and we were able to see sea turtles, making it a very enjoyable experience. The boat was filled only with Japanese participants, and there were also Japanese female staff members, so the children felt comfortable. With around 20 participants, it was easy to interact with nearby families and couples, and at the sandbar, even small children could play leisurely while holding hands with their parents. Only my 7-year-old and I tried snorkeling. There were long floats that allowed us to view the underwater scenery side by side, making it surprisingly easy to see coral reefs and small fish. For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers on the boat, and we could enjoy our meal while leisurely taking in the scenery. It was a fun tour. For reference, the meeting place was not our accommodation, so I was a bit worried about whether we were in the right spot until the pickup arrived. The bus was shared, and I was concerned that nearly 90% of the passengers were American, wondering if there were no other Japanese participants, but I felt relieved when we met up at the dock. Additionally, my wife mentioned that the staff shared interesting stories on the microphone during the bus ride, but since it was all in English, it was boring if you didn't understand. I thought it would be nice to have books or toys for the children to keep them entertained during the bus ride.

７才、４才、２才の５人家族で参加しました。当日は天候も良く海も荒れず、ウミガメも鑑賞でき大変楽しく参加できました。船も日本人参加者のみで乗船でき日本人の女性スタッフもいましたので子供たちも懐いていました。船も参加人数がごちゃごちゃしない２０人程度でしたので程よく近くの家族連れやカップルと交流ができ、サンドバーでは小さい子供も親と手を繋いでのんびり遊べます。シュノーケリングは７才の子と私だけ挑戦しました。２人で並んで水中を鑑賞できる長い浮きなどもあり案外簡単にサンゴ礁や小魚を鑑賞できました。お昼はスタッフが船上でハンバーガーを焼いてくれて船でのんびりと景色を見ながら食べれます。楽しいツアーでした。参考までに集合場所が私たちは宿泊先ではなかったので少々迎えがくるまでここでいいのか心配でした。バスも乗り合いで米国人が９割近く乗車してて日本人はいないのかと心配になりましたが船着き場で合流できたので安心しました。あとバスの中で妻曰くおもしろい話をスタッフがマイクで話していたそうですが、終始英語なので解らないと退屈です。バスの乗車中、本など子供がひまを紛らわせるおもちゃなどあるといいかなと思いました。

Before boarding the submarine, we traveled by boat, and the view from the sea was amazing. The performance... I was surprised when the submarine suddenly appeared. I boarded the submarine with high expectations. However, I was disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I had imagined... I wanted to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗る前に船で行くのですが海から見た景色が素晴らしかった。パフｵｰマンス・・潜水艦が突然出てきた時はビックリしちゃいました。期待して潜水艦に乗りこみました。でも、自分が想っていたよりも魚の種類が少なかったのがっかり・・亀に会いたかった。

It was difficult due to the timing, and I couldn't see any whales. However, the staff were wonderful, and I had a valuable and enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

時期的に難しくもあり、ホエールをみることはできませんでした。
しかし、スタッフのみなさんもすばらしく、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。
ありがとうございました。

I set out to find the dolphins, riding a ship south from the port on the West Coast. It took a while to spot them, but I finally discovered their dorsal fins bobbing up and down in the distance. Watching their movements and timing my drop into the water, I was determined not to give up until I saw the dolphins, even as the navigator urged us to hurry! When the signal came, I put my face in the water and looked around, but I couldn't see them... However, I could clearly hear their calls! They would definitely come! I shouted in my heart, "We're here!" and continued to chase the pod. When I looked into the water again at the navigator's signal... there they were!! Dozens of them swimming right below me! Overwhelmed with joy, tears filled my goggles. There was no time to cry; I had to swim with them! As I kicked and searched desperately, they came back right next to me! And there were even more dolphins than before!! My mind went blank, and I desperately reached out to get closer. The dolphins continued to swim beneath us, and even when we were on the ship, they stayed behind us. I wondered if our feelings had reached them... "A huge success!!!" I high-fived with the navigator! We then headed a bit north to the snorkeling point. There, deep in the ocean, the sea turtle principal quietly guarded everything in the sea. Colorful little fish swam around, and when I threw them some bread, they bravely approached to eat. I felt like I had forgotten everything that had happened and had become one with the ocean. After that, everyone enjoyed paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling as the lessons came to an end. On the way back to the port, we filled our stomachs with handmade cheeseburgers (they were really delicious!), relaxed to the crew's live ukulele performance, and danced to the Nanakuri Ondo, feeling the rhythm... Everything was so much fun, and I was extremely satisfied!!!! Swimming was honestly tough, but I decided in my heart that I would definitely go see the dolphins again. It was an activity that made me sweat and truly enjoy! I highly recommend it!!!

イルカ先生達を探して、西海岸の港からShipに乗ってしばらく南下。なかなか巡り会えずでしたが、遠くの方でチラリチラリと浮き沈みする、先生達の背びれを発見。イルカ先生たちの動きと、dropするタイミングを見ていざ海へ!ﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの『早く早く~!!』という声に若干焦りながらも、イルカ先生達を見るまでは絶対に諦めない!と必死に着いていきました。合図と共に顔を水につけ辺りを見回したけど、姿が見えない･･･。でも、イルカ先生達の鳴き声がはっきりと聞こえる!絶対に来てくれる!『私たちはココに居るよ!』と強く心で叫び、群れを追い続けること暫く。。再びﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰの合図で海の中を覗くと・・いた!!何十頭も真下を泳いでるじゃないの！あまりの嬉しさに、ｺﾞｰｸﾞﾙの中で涙が溢れてきた。泣いてる場合じゃない、もっと一緒に泳がなきゃ!と一生懸命水を蹴り探していると、、、手が届きそうなくらいの真横に戻ってきた!!しかも、さっきよりもたくさんのイルカ先生たちが!!頭が真っ白になって、とにかく必死に近付こうと手を伸ばしてた。。その後もイルカ先生たちは私達の下を泳いだり、Shipにあがっている時も後ろに居てくれた。私達の想いが伝わったのかな･･･と。『大成功~っ!!!』とﾅﾋﾞｹﾞｰﾀｰとﾊｲﾀｯﾁ!!! 少し北上してｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞﾎﾟｲﾝﾄへ。そこには海底深くに海ガメ校長がひっそりと居て海の全てを守っているかのようだった。周りには小さな色鮮やかな魚たちが泳ぎ、パンをあげると、食べようと頑張って近付いてくる。。今までの出来事で全てを忘れ、海と一つになれたような気がした。その後も、パドボやカヤック、シュノーケリングと皆それぞれが楽しみ授業も終盤。港に戻るShipでは、手作りチーズバーガーでお腹を満たし（ほんとに美味しかった！）、クルーのウクレレ生演奏で心を癒し、ナナクリ音頭を踊ってノリノリ･･･。とにかく全てが楽しくて、とっっっっても満足!!!!泳ぐのは正直大変だったけど、またイルカ先生達に必ず会いに行こう、と心に決めたのでした。心から汗をかき、心から楽しめたアクティビティでした！オススメです！！！

The beauty of the ocean and the sea turtles made the children very happy. I also think the staff were kind and responsive.

海の美しさやウミガメなど、子供たちは大喜びでした。スタッフの皆さんも親切で、対応もよかったと思います。

We participated as a family, but I felt that the waiting time was quite long, making it seem like a waste of a whole day. However, the kids were really happy to play with the dolphins. Considering the price, I think it would be nice to have a bit more time to interact with the dolphins. The DVD was good.

家族で参加しましたが、けっこう待ち時間があり一日使うにはもったいない気がしました。
ただ、イルカと一緒に遊べたのは子供たちも喜んでいました。
お値段からするともう少しイルカと遊べる時間があっても良いかな？とは思います。
DVDは良かったです。

Wonderful time out on the water, Capt. Andrew was wonderful as well as his crew, they were fabulous!! Would definately go again!!

On my twelfth trip to Hawaii, I went whale watching for the first time. I had low expectations, thinking it would be nice if we saw some whales. However, the onboard announcements provided updates on whale sightings, and by patiently watching in that direction, I was treated to an emotional sight. I was deeply moved by the sight of the whales spouting water as they swam with their family.

12回目のハワイで初のホエールウォッチング。
まあ、見れたらいいかな…ぐらいの期待度でしたが船内放送で随時クジラの情報を放送してくれるのでその方向を根気強く見ていると感動の光景が。
何度も家族で泳ぐクジラの潮吹きに大感動でした。

Since it was mid-April, most tours had already ended. Just when I was about to give up, I came across this tour. I participated knowing that the chances of seeing whales were low, but I was able to see several of them. I even witnessed the moment when they dove straight down to the seabed. The other tour participants were also cheering. It was fun. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

4月の中旬だったので、ほとんどのツアーが終了されていました。諦めかけていた時にこのツアーに遭遇しました。
クジラに会えない確率の方が高いのを覚悟して参加しましたが、何頭も見ることができました。まっすぐに海底に潜る瞬間の尾ひれも見れました。ツアー客の人たちも歓声を上げていました。楽しかったです。又参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ）港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな？
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな？と思いました。

I wanted my 5-year-old child to have an experience, so I participated with them as a dad. I watched from a designated spot a little distance away as an observer. At first, my child was a bit scared, but as they got used to it, the experience ended. Overall, we were very satisfied!

However, since the observation area was surrounded by plants, I ended up getting bitten by mosquitoes a lot... I found myself fidgeting while watching. So, for those who are observing, please be careful!

子供（5歳）に体験させたくて、パパと参加させました。
私は見学者として、指定された少し離れた場所からみていました。初めは、びびっていたのですが・・・だんだんと慣れてきたころに終わりました。でも大満足！

ただ、見学の場所が草木があったところだったからか・・私は蚊にさされまくり・・・途中から落ち着きのない動きをしながら見るはめに・・・見学するかた気をつけてくださいね！

I handed the voucher to the staff (who didn't speak Japanese) on the bus and received a wristband pass, but when I asked about lunch and the bodyboarding lesson times, I was told, "Your passport is different," and they refused to help. After calling a staff member who understood Japanese and showing my reservation slip, they apologized profusely, saying, "You've completely mismatched your passport," and gave me a different colored passport. The beef for lunch was delicious, but the selection was a bit limited. Also, it seemed that due to a lack of staff, the attractions were alternating between being open and closed, so despite the number of visitors, we had to wait quite a bit to ride anything (it might be different during peak season). The bodyboarding lesson had the wave pool almost to ourselves, and with the assistance of one staff member for timing and a push, I was thrilled to ride the waves beautifully. However, the waves were too high for toddlers, so it might be better not to choose the deluxe plan. On the way back, even though the park closed at 3:30 PM, we had to gather at 2:45 PM, which left us with little time to play, and I felt a bit regretful, wanting to enjoy more.

バスでスタッフ(日本語不可)にバウチャーを渡して腕輪型のパスをもらったが、現地で昼食やボディボードレッスンの時間を尋ねたら「あなたのパスポートは違う」と拒否された。日本語のわかるスタッフを呼び出してもらって予約控えを見せたら「完全にパスポートを付け間違っています、すみません」と平謝りで別の色のパスポートをもらいました。ランチのビーフは美味しかったけどちょっと品数少なめ、またアトラクションもスタッフが少ないためか順々に営業と休止を繰り返しているので入場者の割にどれも結構並ばないと乗れない状態でした(繁盛期は違うのでしょうが)。ボディボードレッスンは波プールが貸切り状態になり、スタッフ1名にタイミングと後押しでアシストしてもらうと綺麗に波に乗れて嬉しかったです。ただ幼児は波が高くてボディボードは無理なのでデラックスプランにしない方が良いかも。帰りは15:30閉園なのに14:45集合で遊ぶ時間が少なくてちょっと心残り、もっともっと遊びたい心境でした。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and I participated for the first time. I had a great time interacting directly with dolphins and watching the show. My 74-year-old mother also joined, and she had a wonderful experience and was very happy.

４度目のハワイで、初めて参加しました。
イルカと直接触れ合い、ショーを見てとても楽しかったです。
７４歳の母も参加しましたが、貴重な体験をし、
とても喜んでいました。

I was able to see sea turtles up close in an unreal space, and I had a great time with the friendly staff! If I have the chance again, I would love to return.

非現実的な空間でウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たうえ、気さくなスタッフの方と一緒に楽しい時間が過ごせました！
また機会がありましたら、リピしたいと思います。

I participated in the afternoon session on March 19. It seems there had been a lot of rain just before, causing many cancellations, but the weather was great that day and I didn't feel cold at all. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful scenery. It was my first experience with the beautiful sea and sandy beach (although the sea didn't completely recede that day...). I was satisfied to see sea turtles, rays, and pufferfish up close. This excitement can't be conveyed through photos alone. I definitely recommend participating. The staff was friendly, and the barbecue was delicious.

3月19日の午後の部に参加しました。直前は雨が多く催行中止が多かったようですが、この日はいい天気で寒さも感じませんでした。ともかくすばらしい風景で満喫しました。きれいな海と砂浜（この日は完全に海水がなくなることはありませんでしたが・・・）で、初めての体験です。ウミガメ・エイ・フグも至近で見られ満足しました。写真だけではこの感動は伝えられません。是非参加されることをお勧めします。
スタッフも親切でバ−ベキュ−もおいしかったです。

I participated in the encounter with my husband and our 1 year and 10-month-old daughter. We joined without transportation, but since it was during spring break, we arrived at the park just as the shuttle bus was arriving too. The ticket counter and the package registration counter were overflowing with people. Those who had signed up for transportation probably received some explanation on how to participate in the package, but we managed to navigate through the crowd (laughs) to sign the waiver, purchase a locker token, and change into our swimsuits after borrowing life jackets in the changing area, getting ready for the experience!

We moved to the dolphin pool and received a safety briefing in English from the local staff (they mixed in some broken Japanese), and then it was finally time to enter the pool! At first, my daughter was scared of the larger dolphins, but gradually she started enjoying it while saying "Dolphin!"

Then it was our turn. First, I got to kiss and touch a dolphin. I couldn't help but get excited seeing the smooth, adorable eyes of the dolphin! Next, my husband and daughter went, and despite my worries that she might cry from being too close, she managed to give the dolphin a kiss!!!

The experience of kissing a dolphin was not only memorable for me, but seeing my daughter's joyful face made it even more special.

I would definitely recommend this to our friends' families!☆

夫と1歳10ヵ月の娘と一緒にエンカウンターに参加しました。
送迎なしで参加したのですが、春休み中ということもありパークに到着したらちょうど送迎バスも到着した時で、チケットカウンターもパッケージ参加受付カウンターも人・人・人であふれかえっていました。送迎ありで申し込んだ人はきっとどのような手順でパッケージに参加するのか説明があったようですが、私たちは溢れる人たちの中なんとか周りの様子を見ながら（笑)ウェーバーにサインをしロッカーのトークンを購入し、更衣スペースでライフジャケットを借り着替えをして準備完了！
ドルフィンプールに移動し、安全ガイドをローカルのスタッフに英語で（カタコトの日本語は交えてましたが)受けていよいよプールに！自分より大きなイルカに初めは怖がっていましたが、徐々にドッフィン！と言いながら楽しんでいました。
そしていよいよ我が家の番。まずは私がイルカとキス＆タッチ。すべすべで愛くるしい目のイルカに思わず興奮してしまいました♪次に夫と娘、近すぎて泣いてしまわないかという母の不安をよそにちゃんとキスしてました！！！
イルカとの初キッス体験は私自身もですが娘の喜ぶ顔が見れてとても良い思い出ができました。

お友達家族にもおすすめしたいです☆

I participated in the tour on the afternoon of March 20. The wind was strong and it was a bit chilly. At the shallowest point, it was about knee-deep.

It was indeed a very beautiful view, and the seawater was clear. I was very impressed when we got off the boat and walked to the sandbar. However, once we reached the sandbar, there wasn't much to do. It might be good to bring a beach ball or something, but walking from the boat to the sandbar is quite challenging, so it might be better not to bring anything...

As for activities at the sandbar, the only things to do are taking photos of the guests (for a fee) and filming a DVD (for a fee). So, until that is finished, we couldn't return to the boat, leaving us with nothing to do. Since it's shallow, we couldn't swim either. Most people were just wading in the water (since it gets cold when you get out), almost like taking a bath.

There were many beginners in snorkeling, and with so many people, it was more about following the staff's instructions and just swimming forward rather than enjoying it slowly. I think it would be better to do snorkeling at a different location.

I was a bit disappointed, especially since my expectations were high.

3/20の午後のツアーに参加しました。
風が強くて、肌寒かったです。
一番浅いところで、膝くらいでしたか。

確かにとても美しい眺めで、海水もきれいです。
ボートから降りて、サンドバーまで歩く時はとても感激しました。
ただ、サンドバーについてからはやることがなく、
ビーチボールか何か持っていけば良いのかもしれませんが
おそらくボートから降りてサンドバーまで歩くのは結構大変なので、何も持たない方が良いかと…

サンドバーですることといえば、お客さんの写真（有料）をとることと、DVD（有料）を撮ること。
なので、それが終わるまでボートに帰ることもできず、何もすることがない状態です。
浅いので泳ぐこともできません。
ほとんどの方が海につかって（出ると寒いので）お風呂状態？？という感じ。

シュノーケリングも初心者が多く、人数も多いこともあって、ゆっくり楽しむというより、スタッフのかたの指示通り、とにかく泳いで進む！
シュノーケリングは別の場所でやる方が良いと思いました。

期待が大きかっただけに、少し残念でした。

This year, I participated with my parents and children, spanning three generations. Since we had children with us, we decided to join the Honolulu for whale watching, as it seemed that the boat activities were not suitable for them yet. I had heard that the area where whales appear is beyond Hawaii Kai, but it seemed that the Honolulu mainly offered sightseeing, as the tour only went as far as providing a view of Waikiki. If you have the time and are mainly interested in sightseeing, it might be fine, but for those hoping for the kind of whale watching advertised, I think other activities would be better.

今年お正月に両親、子供と3世代で参加しました。
子供がいるため、ホエールウォッチングにはまだボートでのアクティビティは出来そうになかったので
ホノルル号で参加を決めたのですが、
ホエールの現れるエリアはハワイカイより先と聞いておりましたが、ホノルル号は遊覧がメインなのか
ワイキキを見渡せるあたりまでの遊覧でした。
時間があり遊覧をメインとされるのであればいいかと思いますが、宣伝で使ってるようなホエールウォッチングを希望される方は
他のアクティビティがいいかと思いました。

The weather was perfect, and it was the long-awaited paradise of the sea. We walked in the sea (sandbar) that was about 40 centimeters deep, taking photos the whole time. After that, we went snorkeling, but it was difficult for my 9 and 7-year-old children, and they ended up getting bored. It would have been nice if there were other enjoyable activities like craft making on the boat.

天気にも恵まれ、念願の天国の海でした。
深さ４０センチほどの海（サンドバー）を歩き、ひたすら写真撮影。その後は、シュノーケリングでしたが、9歳、7歳の子供達には、難しく、時間を持て余しました。（船の中では、他に楽しめるクラフト作りなどがあれば、良かったです）
　
　

We participated as a family on April 2nd. Since there was no pickup at 8 AM, I was thinking of taking the trolley bus, but it seemed that it wasn't running yet. I heard that I could take the bus, so I waited for the 19 or 20 mentioned in the book, but since I didn't check the schedule, it took a while to arrive. I ended up taking a taxi in a hurry.

The office location was hard to find. I stayed under the Aloha Tower for a while, but since I needed to go to the restroom, I headed towards the large ship and found the office. They take a photo when you board, which costs $18. If the waves are calm, there's no worry about seasickness. You can see the whales' spouts and tails from a distance. They announced that you can only see the high jumps in winter. The kids got bored quickly.

I was able to enjoy a nice nap while being gently hit by the pleasant sea breeze until we returned to the port (laughs). There were a few foreigners eating fruit, so it seems like bringing food is not prohibited...

4/2に家族で参加しました
8時集合の迎えなしだったのでトロリーバスでいこうかとおもっていましたが
まだ運行時間ではなかったようでthe BUSでも行けると聞いたので
本に載っていた19か20を待ちましたが時間を調べなかったのでなかなか来ず
焦ってタクシーで行きました
事務所の場所が分りづらい
アロハタワーの真下にしばらくいましたがトイレに行きたくなったので
大型船の方へ行くと事務所が見つかりました
乗る時に写真を撮ってくれます、18ドルします
波が穏やかであれば船酔いの心配はないです
鯨の潮吹きと尻尾が遠目で見ることが出来ます
ハイジャンプは冬にしか見れないとアナウンスしてました
子供達はすぐに飽きてしまいました
港に帰るまで心地よい潮風に打たれて気持ちよく寝れました（笑）
果物食べてる外人さんが数人いたので持ち込み出来ないことはないようですが…

The day we went was calm and windless for the first time in a while. The water level was below the knees, but we had a truly valuable and enjoyable time. Above all, the staff were very kind. I want to go again.

私たちが行った日は、久し振りに風もなく、穏やかな日だったようです。水位は、ひざ下でしたが、とても貴重な良い時間を過ごせました。何より、スタッフの皆さんが優しかったです。また、行きたいです。

My kids had a blast!! The minute we arrived, Chris was there to greet us and within minutes my kids were on the banana boat having the time of their lives. They fell off couple of times when the banana boat zipped over the wakes but they swam back, got back on and did it all over again! My kids told me the best part was the bumper tube, they all had some incredible air time LOL. This is such a great activity and as a parent to see my kids have fun, smile and tell me they had soooooooooo much fun..such an incredible feeling! I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know!!!

This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

The boat rocked quite a bit. It was difficult to stand, so those who are prone to seasickness might find it a bit challenging. Eating was also difficult in those conditions. The whales didn't show themselves very often. After seeing them spout water a few times, we only caught a glimpse of their backs, but it was still moving. Onboard, there were plenty of fun activities like hula dancing, lei-making, and ukulele lessons. I made a lei to take home. I am grateful for such a valuable and fulfilling experience. I would like to go again as a repeat visitor. Thank you, Alan1, for the wonderful memories. Mahalo~

かなり船が揺れました。立っていられない程なので、船酔いする方は少し難しいかもしれません。食事もその中では難しかったです。クジラもなかなか姿を見せてはくれませんでした。潮を吹いている瞬間を何回か見た後、背中がちょこっと見えただけでしたが、感動しました。船内ではフラ体験やレイ作成体験、ウクレレレッスン等楽しい行事が盛沢山。レイを作って持ち帰りました。とっても貴重な充実した体験をさせて頂き感謝です。またリピーターとして行きたいと思います。alan1さん楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。マハロ~
