All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I participated with my two elementary school children (a 6th grader and a 1st grader). There were reviews mentioning that it shakes quite a bit, but it was more manageable than I expected. The guide spoke entirely in English (including safety instructions), so I didn't understand much, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. There is a bit of a hike to the top, but participation is optional. My two children were able to climb while having fun. I was very satisfied as I could feel a different side of Hawaii compared to the ocean and the city.

小学生の子供2人(6年生と1年生)と一緒に参加しました。
けっこう揺れるという口コミがありましたが、思ったよりは大丈夫でした。
ガイドは全て英語(注意事項の説明も含めて)なのでほとんどわかりませんでしたが、雰囲気で楽しめました。
頂上までちょっとした登山のようなものがありますが、自由参加です。子供2人も楽しみながら登れました。
海や市街地と違うハワイを感じられてとても満足できました。

Luau was amazing
Food was amazing
It’s just a shame that you guys didn’t pick us up.
Had to get a taxi to the show which was lucky we found one that could take my husbands mobility scooter.
Made some phone calls to complain and sent an email to complain
We were promised a ride back to hotel on bus.
The hostess on the bus on the way was very rude to us
We did receive a small refund which we will grateful for.
Just a suggestion (which I did mention in my emails) for future tours. That maybe your host on the buses actually go and check with all persons that may be waiting by the pickup point or little further away from pickup point. You are dealing with tourists and not everyone will know where the exact pickup points are. Also in our case have the actual name of the tour in front window of bus. Our bus did not have this. Otherwise we would like have know. The host for our tour actually started walking down towards where we were standing but turned back around half way down. She would have seen my husband was in a mobility scooter and would i assume have this information written on your paperwork.

The cruise was amazing
Food was delicious
My husband was in a mobility scooter and we were told by your company that he could not use it as weighed too
Much so had to hire a wheelchair.
When got on the bus we mentioned it to the star of Honolulu host and she said we did not need to do that. So maybe for any future customers you could check your information first.

A trip to Hawaii with my 92-year-old mother and three generations
I was looking forward to whale watching, but my mother said she didn't want to go, possibly due to fatigue, so I requested to change it to the next day, and they were very accommodating.
On the way to the harbor, we saw a rainbow, which made me feel like we would meet the whales.
After setting sail, they met our expectations, and we saw them many times.
Watching them swim gracefully in the waters of Waikiki made me feel the essence of Hawaii.
At the end, we witnessed them spouting water and slapping their large tails on the surface of the sea.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

９２歳の母と三代世代のハワイ旅行️
楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング、母が疲れからか行きたくないと言う事で、翌日に変更をお願いしたら配慮して下さりました。
港に向かう途中に虹を見たので、鯨に会える予感がしました。
出航後、期待に応えてくれて、何度も何度も見れました。
ワイキキの海を優雅に泳ぐ姿を見て、ハワイを感じました。
最後には潮を吹いて大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつける様子も
感動をありがとう。

We did the movie sites tour which was great! Our tour guide was incredibly informative and very passionate about the ranch. We didn’t have a chance to do more like the Jurassic tour or zip lining, so if we get a chance to come back - those are on our list to do next time!

The Luau was amazing, food was great and the entire show was so entertaining!! Me and my partner had a great time. I definitely recommend!

Our driver was very friendly, and seemed to know a lot of information on the sites we were seeing in Honolulu. Was a very good way to visit the Arizona memorial - would definitely recommend visitors to Honolulu to check out this tour.

Can't say enough. From beginning to end. Easy pickup and drop off from location in Waikiki,
The whole experience from the friendly, accommodating staff. The hot off the grill burgers hit the spot .
Wanted to go s second time before leaving the island, but ran out of time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely book this one.
Mahalo to the crew

The driver kindly explained about Hanauma in English. They repeatedly mentioned what not to do, so I understood. Before entering Hanauma, they gave us life jackets at the cliff viewpoint. If you have any additional items, it's a good idea to mention them at this time. Once we arrived at Hanauma, we gathered with the same group of guests to pool together $25 for admission. I think it’s a good idea to bring a mat or something to relax on the beach in advance. It was very kind and I had a lot of fun snorkeling.

英語にはなりますがドライバーさんが丁寧にハナウマについて説明してくれます。
やってはいけないことは何度も言うので理解できました。
ハナウマに入る前に崖の展望台でライフジャケットをくれました。他の追加品があればこの時に言いましょう。
そしてハナウマに着いたら同じグループの客で集まって25ドルもまとめ合い、ハナウマに入場します。
ビーチで休むためのシートなどを事前に持っていくといいと思います。
すごく親切で楽しくスノーケリングを楽しめました。

It was a tour where we could casually enjoy the unique nature of Hawaii. My wife has had a bit less stamina since she was in a wheelchair for about ten months a few years ago, but we are grateful for the support from the very energetic staff member, Tomomi! When you come to Hawaii, this kind of nature also helps detox your mind. I highly recommend this! Tomomi, keep up the great work!

ハワイならではの大自然を気軽に楽しめるツアーでした。家内が数年前に車椅子を10ヶ月ほど乗っていた関係で多少体力が少ないのですが、とっても元気なスタッフのトモミさんがサポートしてくれて感謝！ハワイに来たら、こんな大自然が心のデトックスもしてくれます。これもおすすめ！トモミさん、これからも頑張ってね！

Great place, second time I go there. Pretty spot quiet and peaceful with a lot of activities such as jenga, ping pong etc. They also have cool activities.
Highly recommend

It was a great experience! The activities were fun and educational! Great family environment! Wonderful performances, amazing performers, good food and drinks! The best activity and experience on our vacation! You have to go!

My husband and I had a good time on the cruise. The food was good and the show was fun!

You know how you can never quite describe the atmosphere, moments and beauty of something? That was this experience. From a long distance traveler- this was once in a lifetime. Tell everyone you know and bring them with you. 10/10.

The captains were very friendly and kind. There was a wide variety of snacks and drinks, and the spam onigiri was especially great.

I was also glad to catch a glimpse of the sea turtles.

Unfortunately, the snorkeling was quite crowded. Moving in a large group felt like being in a packed train, making it far from an enjoyable snorkeling experience. Other activities were fun, though.

キャプテンたちがとてもフレンドリーで親切でした。
スナック類やドリンクも豊富で、特にスパムおにぎりは最高でした。

ウミガメもちらっと見る事ができて良かったです。

残念なのはシュノーケリングの人口密度。大人数で一斉に移動するため、前後左右ぎっしりでぶつかりながらの移動。満員電車の中のようなシュノーケリングで楽しむというには程遠い感じです。その他のアクティビティは楽しかったです。

I went for the first time this year. When we got on the boat, it was raining, but I was glad that it stopped by the time we arrived at the sandbar. The water was knee-deep in some areas, which made it enjoyable. We could also rent SUPs and had a great time. There was a Japanese-speaking guide who provided support. They took us snorkeling, and we were able to see plenty of turtles. The guide helped us, a couple in our 60s, with snorkeling, and we could just float around. I want to go again next year. I think it would be wonderful if it were sunny. It was already so great even with the rain and clouds, so I'm looking forward to going again next year. There is a website that checks the tide levels at the sandbar, so I recommend looking it up and choosing a day with low tide when making a reservation. It’s a wonderful world where you can experience the ocean in 360 degrees.

今年初めて行きました。
ボートに乗った時は、雨が降っていたけどサンドバーに到着したときは案がやんでよかった。
深さは膝ぐらいのところもあり楽しむことができました。
SUPなども借りることができ良い時間を過ごすことができます。
日本語を話すガイドがおりサポートしてくれます。
シュノーケリングに連れて行ってくれますが、亀が見放題の状態でした。
我々６０代の夫婦の手を引いてシュノーケリングをさせてくれ浮かんでいるだけでよい状態でした。
来年も行きたい。快晴だったらどんなにいいだろうと思う。
雨曇りであれだけよかったので来年も行こうと楽しみにしています。
サンドバーの潮位を調べるサイトがあるので、予約するときはぜひ覗いて潮位の低い日を選ぶことをお勧めします。
３６０度海の中で体験できる素晴らしい世界です。

I would do this again and again, the crew is wonderful and energetic just great people to spend the day with! Volleyball, burgers, snorkeling oh my!

Easy entry process, meet by dance troop and greeted by crew member. Scored a very nice table by the window. Staff were warm and friendly and our first free drink was delivered promptly. Food was good and plentiful and stayed out as long as people kept going up. Show was as expected with all staff taking part. We did the fireworks night which was fab. Only real complaint was with the Sunset, the sun didn't com out to play :).
We enjoyed the evening thank you

We had a great time, our tour guide was very nice and friendly. We recommend the experience, the views are amazing, a lot of Hawaiian history.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.

2年ぶりのハナウマベイに行ってきました。朝一でしたが、予想より水は冷たくなかったです。泳いでる魚は毎回同じです。今回、初ハナウマの人がいたので申込みしましたが、入場料もかるし、とうぶんいいかなぁと思います。ドライバーさんはイケメンで、入場チケットの購入をまとめて購入してくれて、助かりました。シュノーケルセット、ライフジャケットは綺麗でした。

At the entrance, there were commemorative coins to choose from, which was fun! I didn't bring a towel since it would be extra luggage and I planned to buy one as a souvenir, but I was able to purchase it at the shop as planned, and I still love using the bath towel.

入り口に記念コインがあり数種類選べて楽しかったです♪
タオルが荷物になるのと記念に購入しようと持ち込みませんでしたが、予定通り売店で買えて、バスタオルは今も気に入って使っています。

I was very satisfied with the tour because I was able to swim with dolphins in the beautiful sea. However, I think it's better not to have overly high expectations for the Japanese guide, as they provide only minimal interpretation and assistance.

綺麗な海でイルカと泳ぐ事ができたので、ツアー自体は大満足です。但し、日本語ガイドさんは、最低限の通訳、お世話しかしないので、過度な期待はしない方が良いと思います。

I thought the male server was wonderful with his passionate service towards the store and his work. A few hours before my visit, I had eaten shaved ice, so I was quite full. I checked with a Japanese staff member if I could take my food home, and they wrapped it beautifully. The next day, I warmed it up at the hotel and enjoyed it deliciously.

テーブル担当の男性がお店や仕事への愛が溢れる接客で素晴らしいと思いました。来店数時間前にシェイブアイスを食べた為、お腹がいっぱいになってしまい持ち帰りできるか日本人スタッフの方に確認したところ綺麗に包んでいただき翌日ホテルで温めて美味しくいただきました。

I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.

You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.

The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.

A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.

潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.

The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.

By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.

I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.

One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.

We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.

Other than that, it was fantastic.

8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。

サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。

ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。

子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。

一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。

濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。

それ以外は最高でした。

It was a fish similar to a flatfish, so I wished we could have changed spots more often with the fish finder. I really think Japanese fishing boats are the best. It's perfect for sightseeing.

カワハギ的な魚だから魚探で見れてもっとポイント変えてほしかったです。やっぱ日本の釣り船が最強と思いました。観光には最高です。

Outstanding a great reminder why peace is the ultimate goal in life

There were some language issues, but the driver was kind. Hanauma Bay was very beautiful and amazing. I want to go again.

若干言葉の問題はありますがドライバーさんも親切でした。ハナウマベイとても綺麗で最高でした。また、行きたいです。

Initially, I only reserved the shuttle, but since I was traveling alone, I joined the tour for peace of mind. It was great that they also took photos for us.

During lunchtime, I shared a sandwich with another solo participant, and we were able to try two different kinds, which made for a fun time. Thank you very much.

当初、シャトルのみを予約していましたが
一人旅なので安心の為にツアーに参加しました。
写真も撮ってくださったので良かったです。

ランチタイムも一人参加の方とご一緒し
サンドイッチをシェアして2種類食べることができ、楽しいひとときでした。
ありがとうございました。

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.
