All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It has already been a year since I went (^ - ^)/ I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, which was a bit disappointing. I also ordered a DVD for an extra fee and had some photos taken＼(^o^)／ As we were taking pictures, the sun started to come out, and from that point on, it was really beautiful and moving! The difference when the sun is out is amazing! I was also happy to see a baby sea turtle up close while snorkeling! ♥

もう去年になりますが行ってきました(^-^)/
楽しみにしていたのですが、生憎の曇り空でちょっと残念でした。
別料金でDVDも頼み、写真も撮ってもらいました＼(^o^)／
とっていたら途中から晴れてきたので、そこからはとても綺麗で感動しました！やっぱり太陽の出によって全然違いますね！
シュノーケリングではウミガメの子どもも近くで見れて嬉しかったです♡

Walking leisurely in the ocean!! A turtle is swimming leisurely and coming closer to me!! It's coming from the turtle's side... I'm just filled with excitement and surprise!

海の中で悠々と歩いて散歩!! 其処に此れも悠々と泳いで
いる亀ｻﾝが近付いてくるんですよ!!
亀ｻﾝの方からですよ･････感激と驚きしか無いよね

The goal is not to see whales. It's better to think of it as enjoying the feeling of going out into the open sea, with the chance of seeing dolphins by chance. The campaign offers a deal where two people can go for the price of one, which felt like a good value. There were also two free drinks and some snacks, so it might be worth participating instead of aimlessly wandering around the city.

クジラを見ることが目的ではないです。
偶然イルカが見えただけで、外洋に出る気持ちよさを味わうと考えたほうがいいです。
キャンペーンで2人で1人分だからお得感はありました。
アルコールも2杯は無料でしたし、ちょっとしたお菓子もあるので、意味なく街をブラブラするぐらいなら参加してもいいのでは。

It was a valuable experience to touch and kiss the dolphins, and I had a lot of fun. However, I was under the impression that we would be able to swim with the dolphins, so I was disappointed that we couldn't do that.

イルカに触れたり、イルカとキスしたりできるのは貴重な体験なのでとても楽しかったですが、こちらの勘違いなのかイルカと泳げるものだと思って参加しておりましたので、イルカと泳ぐことはできなかったので残念でした。

It was a very rare and enjoyable experience to be able to walk on the sandy beach in the middle of the ocean! Snorkeling was also amazing!

海の中央に砂浜があってそこで歩けるなんてとても貴重な体験で楽しかったです♪シュノーケルもできて最高でした！

The tour was neither good nor bad. It was a nature tour where I caught a glimpse of a whale's spout and saw a bit of its tail, so I guess that's a plus. Breakfast was average. It was disappointing that the air conditioning on the boat was too cold! I was relieved when the air conditioning was turned off after we started heading back to port.

I appreciated that they provided interpretation in Japanese every time.

可もなく不可もないといったツアー。
自然相手のツアーで、クジラの潮吹きがちらっと見えて、尾ひれも少し見えたのでまあイイ方かな。
朝食は普通です。船内がクーラーで寒過ぎたのが残念！
帰港し始めてからはクーラーが消えていてほっとしました。

日本語で毎回通訳してくださるのは良かったです。

I was able to see both, although just a little. Well, since it's a tour in nature, I suppose this is to be expected.
The snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering. The weather was bad from early morning, so I should have brought a rash guard. By the way, it was disappointing that I could only see fish and rocks!

The muffin for the light snack was delicious. I couldn't eat lunch because I got seasick. The staff kindly suggested that I could take it back and eat it at the center.

両方とも見れました。ちょっとやけど。まあ自然相手のツアーなのでこんなものかなと思います。
シュノーケリングは寒くて震えてました。当日は朝一から天候が悪かったのでラッシュを用意して行くべきでした。ちなみに魚と岩場しか見えなくて残念！！

軽食のマフィンがおいしかった。昼食は船酔いで食べれませんでした。係の人が持って帰ってセンターで食べてイイよって声をかけてくれました。

The weather was great, and I was able to see plenty of turtles and beautiful fish, which was really wonderful. The Japanese-speaking guide was also very accommodating, making for a pleasant tour. This time, I participated with my wife, but next time I would like to join with a larger group.

天候にも恵まれ、亀やきれいな魚もいっぱい見ることができすごく良かったです。日本語を話すガイドさんの対応も良く気持ちがよいツアーでした。今回は妻とふたりで参加しましたが、次回は大勢で参加してみたいです。

I was amazed by the size of the whales!
I enjoyed the breaching, which is a big jump, and various dives.
The sight of them spouting water all around seemed to symbolize the richness of the Hawaiian sea.
It was a fun tour.
However, I was disappointed that I couldn't catch the English guide's explanation about the bones.

クジラの大きさに感動！
ブリーチングと言われる大ジャンプやさまざまな潜水が楽しめました。
あちこちで潮吹きをしているようすがハワイの海の豊かさを象徴しているようでした。
楽しいツアーでした。
ただ、英語ガイドの骨の説明が聞き取れなかったのが残念でしたが。

We participated with six people ranging from my daughter in her 20s, to those in their 30s and 50s, and my mother who is 88 years old.

At the beginning, those who wanted to hear the explanation in Japanese gathered on the deck (which is netted and allows you to see the ocean below), while the explanations inside the ship were in English, so naturally, we chose the deck. Out of the six of us, four were honestly a bit nervous sitting on the net while listening to the explanation. The Japanese explanation was enjoyable and started the time well.

Everyone took motion sickness pills just in case, but I thought being on the deck would definitely be more fun, and if you stay on the deck, you probably won't get seasick.

We caught a glimpse of a whale shortly after the cruise started, but it was hard to see more after that. However, even without seeing whales, the lively staff made it very enjoyable. We saw another whale on the return trip.

Although it wasn't extremely close, we were able to see it spouting water. We also enjoyed the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea.

It was mentioned that two drinks were included in the ticket price, but since it was a one-hour cruise, most people probably only had one drink! I enjoyed the champagne.

I thought the cruise duration could have been a bit longer. My 88-year-old mother also had a great time, and everyone was very satisfied.

We were lucky to participate at a discounted rate due to a campaign!

一番下は20代の娘から、30代、50代、最高は母88歳までの6人で参加。
はじめに、日本語の説明を聞きたい人はデッキ（ネットになっていて下は海面が見えるところ）で、船内は英語で説明ということでしたので当然デッキで。それも6人のうち4人は正直にネットの上におっかなびっくり座って説明を聞きました。日本語堪能そして楽しい説明で時間がスタート。　
一応全員酔い止めも飲んでいましたが、デッキの方が絶対楽しいし、デッキにいれば酔うこともまずないかなと思います。
クジラはクルーズスタートから間もなくちらっと見えてあとはなかなか。でもクジラが見えなくてもノリノリのスタッフでとても楽しんでいました。復路でもう一度クジラが見えました。
ものすごく近い距離ではなかったのですが、潮を吹くところも見ることが出来ました。
海から見えるワイキキのホテル群の景色も楽しめました。
2杯までアルコールはチケット代に入っているということでしたが、1時間のクルーズなのでほとんどの人は1杯かな！？シャンパンを美味しく頂きました。
もう少し長くてもいいかなと思うくらいのクルーズ時間でした。
88歳の母もとても楽しかったと全員大満足です。
今回はキャンペーン中ということでお安く参加出来てラッキー！

This is my seventh time in Hawaii, and I finally made it to the sandbar. Thank you, Izumi, for your help. It was amazing.

今回でハワイは７回目、やっとサンドバーに上陸出来ました。スタッフのいずみちゃんありがとう。最高でした。

It was the most expensive activity I've experienced so far, but I thought that swimming while holding onto a dolphin might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I decided to book it for my family of four. At first, seeing the dolphins up close was a bit scary, but as we touched and kissed them, the kids seemed to get used to it. The staff provided advice based on how the guests were feeling, and I thought they were very attentive. What surprised me was not only the staff's consideration but also the dolphins' awareness of us. The dolphins swam close to us, and without anyone giving commands, they paused for a moment to accommodate small children and those who were hesitant, making it easier for them to hold onto their fins. They pulled us along strongly while we sat on their bellies, and I even thought how nice it would be if they could take us back to Japan. The kids were scared at first, but they said they wanted to do it again. The DVD service was also included, so I’m really glad we booked through Alan1. We also got to feed turtles and sea lions, which made for wonderful memories. I want to visit Sea Life Park again.

今まで体験したアクティビティの中では最高額でしたが、イルカにつかまって泳ぐなんて、一生のうちにこれっきりかもと思い、思い切って家族４人で申し込みました。間近で見るイルカは最初、少し怖く感じましたが、イルカに触れたり、キスをしたりするうちに、子ども達も慣れてきた様子でした。スタッフの方は客の様子に合わせてアドバイスをしてくれて、とても気が効いていると思いました。驚いたのは、スタッフの方の気遣いだけでなく、イルカも私達に気を遣ってくれたことでした。イルカが近くまで泳いできてくれるのですが、誰も指示を出していないのに、小さい子や戸惑っている人など、相手の様子に合わせて、一瞬だけ、停止したりして、ヒレにつかまりやすいように配慮してくれていました。お腹に乗せてグイグイと力強くひっぱってくれて、このまま日本まで連れて帰ってくれないかなと思ったくらい、頼もしかったです。子ども達は最初は怖がっていましたが、またやりたいと行っていました。DVDのサービスも付いていたので、alan1さんで申し込んで本当によかったです。他にもカメやアシカに餌をあげたりできて、とても良い思い出になりました。またシーライフパークに行きたいです。

My husband and I recently went on the Starf Honolulu on a whale watching Cruise. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the boat, we boarded the boat and it was all fun from there. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone. We actually got to see a couple of whales so that made the day even more memorable.

For the first snorkel outting of our trip, this was a great way to get the ball rolling. Other than the long drive to get to the boat launch everything was smooth sailing. The crew was great and fun to travel with and were very knowledgable on the sites we visited. The trip to the sand bar was a treat. Only regret is we would love to have stayed at the reef longer.

I couldn't see it, but it was a good boat trip in a short amount of time, I suppose? Unfortunately, I couldn't see it, but it was nice to relax on the boat while feeling the wind and enjoy the view from offshore rather than from the beach. The cost performance was good since it was two people for the price of one. It might be better to go in with the mindset that if you can see it, you'll be super lucky...

見れませんでしたが、短時間で、良い船旅ってとこでしょうか？
残念ながら見れませんでしたが、風を感じながら船上で寛いだり、ビーチからではなく、沖からの眺めを楽しむことも出来るのでよかったです。二人で一人分というコストパフォーマンスがよかった。見れれば、超ラッキー位でいったほうが良いかも・・・

I participated in a trip with a silver couple.
Since I chose to meet on-site, I took THE BUS from my hotel in Waikiki to ALOHA TOWER. I was advised to arrive about 10 minutes early for the 8:00 AM meeting time, so I arrived about 30 minutes early. However, the OFFICE opened at 8:00 AM, and the STAFF arrived shortly after, so I think it would have been fine to arrive a bit later.
The whale watching was amazing; the STAFF and the captain provided detailed explanations about the whales' ecology before and after departure. I was deeply moved to see them spouting water multiple times and raising their tails.

シルバー夫婦の旅行で参加しました。
現地集合を選びましたのでワイキキのホテルからTHE BUSで
ALOHA TOWERまで行き、８時集合で10分前位には来るようにとあったので、30分ほど早めに到着しましたが、OFFICEは８時OPENとなっていてSTAFFが来たのも８時過ぎで、もう少し遅めでもよかったと思います。
ホエールウォッチングは鯨の生態など出航前後にSTAFFや船長が詳しく説明をされ、実際何度も潮を吹いている姿や尾ひれを上げたところなど見ることができて感動でした。

There is a lot of traveling back and forth then actual viewing spots, and because of that there was not enough time at Waimea Canyon which is the main spot of the trip. People taking half day tour should not be mixed with fullday tour, there was a lot of time lost in going back and forth droping those people, and the return flight to oahu should be planned accordingly we had to wait 2 hrs at the airport.

Premium Submarine Tour was very cool, well worth the extra money. Seating was comfortable. Tour guide very informative, easy to understand. My only complaint is we had a couple of smaller kids on the sub, they put on the headphones and sang most of the tour. We were able to see some pretty amazing ocean life, including a very large sea turtle, and a sting ray!
Would recommend for early in your vacation! We did this tour in the afternoon after the Whale watching breakfast cruise. We were also able to move up our reservation 2 hours just by stopping at the tent at the Hawaiiam Hilton, no extra charge!

This was my first experince whale watching, had a blast! We were able to see 5 whales! After the boat was returning to shore, I went to the back of the boat and saw another whale. We did the Breakfast Cruise, water and coffee are free, everything else is a charge. Be one of the first ones outside, so you can have a good veiw by the railings. Also you will be standing outside on the deck to see the whales so be prepare as it is windy. I did enjoy that the naturalist on board was very informative about whales, she gave us lots of clues on what to look for when whale watching. I would recommed to this Cruise early on you vacation so as you travel the island you can find your own whales!

The sea was a beautiful cobalt blue. The children were very happy. The lunch on the cruiser was delicious. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.

海はコバルトブルーですごくきれいでした。
子供も大変喜んでいました。
クルーザ上でのランチもおいしかったです。
次回のハワイでもぜひ参加したいと思います。

Swimming with dolphins was amazing.
It might be even better if you go with kids!
There are a lot of bugs, so you'll get bitten. Don't forget insect repellent.

イルカと一緒に泳ぐ・・最高でした。
子供と一緒に行くと最高かも！
虫が多くて刺されます。虫除けを忘れずに。。

More than what I expected. Greeter was very pleasant and professional. Would definitly recommend this activity.

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

The weather was nice, and I was able to see whales. The staff who understood Japanese were very kind.

天気も良く、そしてクジラも見れよかったです。
日本語の分かるスッタフがとても親切にしてくれました。

I participated on my honeymoon. I was able to see whales multiple times. While we were eating, whales kept appearing, and we were going back and forth between our seats and the deck. Looking back, I should have eaten first; the delicious food ended up getting cold...
Onboard, there were also activities like lei-making and hula classes, and I had a very enjoyable time.

ハネムーンで参加しました。クジラを何度も見る事ができました。ご飯を食べている間に何回もクジラが出てきて席とデッキを行ったりきたりでした。今思えばご飯を先に食べるべきでした、せっかく美味しい物が冷めてしまった…
船内ではレイ作り、フラ教室なども開催され、とても楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

This time, I participated with ten friends, and the boat to Sandbar was separated for international guests and Japanese guests. The staff's service after boarding the boat was excellent. The hamburgers for lunch were, as expected in America, hearty and delicious. It's an attraction that can be enjoyed by groups, couples, and families alike. I will participate again!

今回は友人１０名で参加したのですが、サンンドバーに行くまでの船もインターナショナルと日本人で別れていたり、船に乗ってからのスタッフの対応は最高によかったです。昼食のハンバーガーもさすがアメリカ肉ボリューミーで美味しかったですね。グループでもカップルでもファミリーでも楽しめるアトラクションです。また参加しま~す。

I had some concerns before participating due to reviews mentioning seasickness and not being able to see anything. However, the boat didn't sway violently at all; it was just a gentle rocking, and I didn't experience any seasickness. In fact, I was so drowsy from the motion sickness medication I took just in case that I almost dozed off while standing, haha.

As for the whales, I was thrilled to see them up close right from the start. I was able to see them several more times after that, and I got great video footage, so I was very satisfied.

口コミで船酔いや見れなかったなどの記事があり、参加前は正直不安はありました。ですが、激しく揺れることなどはなく、ゆっくり揺れる程度で船酔いは皆無。むしろ念のため飲んでおいた酔い止めの副作用で眠たくて立ちながら寝そうになってました 笑
肝心のくじらはと言うと、初っ端から近くで見れて感動でした。
その後も何回か見れてビデオにもばっちりとれて大変満足でした。

This is a beautiful attraction and great for first timers. Persons visiting must be able to walk and climb long distances. The view is great!

An incredibly exciting class that made my nosebleed! The staff on board are all handsome veterans, so it's perfectly fine to rely on them! Everyone was kind and fun, and the time flew by!
If you're prone to feeling cold, a jacket is a must. If you're sleep-deprived, you might get seasick, so make sure to go to bed early the night before.
Of course, we had Dolphin Sensei, and we also met Turtle Sensei, and to top it off, we were lucky enough to see a whale at the end. I was able to ward off my bad luck!
With the beautiful sea and the dolphins, it really lifts your spirits.

鼻血が出る程大興奮の授業！船上のスタッフもイケメンベテラン揃いなので、思いっきり甘えてOK！皆やさしく楽しく対応してくれてあっという間でした！
寒いと思いやすい人は上着必須。寝不足だと酔いやすいので、前の日は早寝しましょう。
イルカ先生はもちろん海ガメ先生、そして虹にも向えられ、最後にクジラが見られる大ラッキーも。本厄払いできたぞ！
キレイな海にイルカたち。心が前向きになりますよ。

It's not an ordinary pool!! It truly lives up to being number one in the U.S.☆ You should definitely check it out!

ふつうのプールじゃないです！！
全米Ｎｏ１っていうだけあります☆
ぜひ行ってみてください！
