All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The highlight of my trip was definitely kissing the dolphins—it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Also surprisingly fun was getting splashed during the dolphin show when the dolphins jumped. While you can experience this at aquariums in Japan now, being splashed from several meters above is a whole different level of excitement!

And the photo is of the dolphin stroller... this is also super popular with the kids (make sure to leave an ID when you borrow it, and don't forget to get it back when you return it!).

一番の目的だったイルカさんとキッスは一生もんですよ！
それと意外におもしろかったのはイルカショウのイルカのジャンプにあわせて思いっきり水をかぶるところ。　最近は日本の水族館でも体験できるけど、数ｍも上からかぶるのは迫力がかなり違いますよ！　それと写真はイルカのベビーカー・・・これも子供達に大人気（借りる際は身分証明書を預ける。帰りに証明書を返してもらうのを忘れずに！）

It's a beautiful and mysterious place. I recommend it.

新婚旅行での参加です。
とてもきれいで、不思議な場所です。
おすすめします。

I participated in a monitor tour with my wife. The seawater was up to our ankles, and the sandbar didn't fully appear, which was a bit disappointing, but the "beach" that emerged in the water was fantastic. Along the way, we encountered a sea turtle, and snorkeling near the coral reef allowed us to see many fish, which was great. This was a tour I would like to join again when I visit Hawaii.

モニターツアーで妻と参加しました。海水が足首まであり、サンドバーは完全に現れず少し残念でしたが、海の中に出現した「砂浜」は最高でした。途中、ウミガメとも遭遇でき、サンゴ礁近くでのシュノーケリングは、たくさんの魚を見ることができ、よかったです。ハワイを訪れた際は、また参加したいツアーでした。

I signed up because the whale encounter rate was over 90%. The whales didn't appear for a while, and soon the observation deck was left with just a couple from China, an elderly couple from the West, and our group of six.

After about 45 minutes, the elderly couple spotted a whale and informed us, as we were busy taking photos! In the end, we were able to see three whales. It seemed like we only had about 15 minutes left to watch them, but at the last moment, one whale jumped out of the water with a splash.

On the way back, while I was gazing at the sea from the second deck, a sea turtle swam incredibly close to the boat. This was unexpectedly moving! 😊

クジラ遭遇率９０％以上ということで、申し込ませていただきました。
中々クジラが現れず、展望デッキには中国人？！のカップルと欧米人の老夫婦、私たちの６名のみになってしまいました。
４５分を過ぎたあたりでしょうか、老夫婦がクジラを発見！し、写真撮りに夢中になっていた私たちに教えてくれました！！
結果３頭のクジラを見ることができました。
帰る時間が迫っていたようで、１５分くらいしか見ることができませんでしたが、最後に１頭が「ざっぷーん」とジャンプらしきことをしてくれました。
帰りに、２階デッキでずーっと海を見ていたら、船のすっごい近くをウミガメが泳いでいきました。
これは思いがけず感動しました＾＾

This was my first time participating. I used it for my honeymoon. The sandbar was beautiful, and there was plenty of free time, so it was really great. The lunch on the boat, where they grilled meat, was very delicious.

The snorkeling was a bit cold, but I was able to see a lot of fish. After getting out of the water, they also prepared warm drinks, and the staff's service was excellent.

I highly recommend it.

初参加です。新婚旅行で利用しました。サンドバーも綺麗で、自由な時間もたっぷりあったのでとてもよかったです。ランチも船上でお肉を焼いてくれてとてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケルは水が少し冷たかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。海から上がったあとは、温かい飲み物も用意してくれてスタッフの対応も◎です。
おすすめです。

It was my first time participating!! I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sandbar. Also, I was able to take many wonderful photos. On the boat, I got to see a lot of turtles, which was very healing. Thank you very much☆

初の参加でした！！
サンドバーの美しさに大感動でした。また、写真もたくさんとっていただき、素敵な写真がたくさん撮れました。船の上では、カメをたくさん見ることができ、癒されました。ありがとうございました☆

I participated at the request of a child who loves whales. Since I had only seen them on TV, I was thrilled to see a real whale's tail. The meal was just okay.

クジラが大好きな子供のリクエストで参加致しました。
テレビでしか見た事が無いので、本物のクジラのしっぽを見られて
大喜びでした。
食事はまあまあでした。

I participated in the encounter with my 6-year-old child. Since it was January, I was concerned about the water temperature and chose the 11 AM session, but even then, the water felt a bit cold.

At first, the dolphins were not in a good mood, and every time a few people in the group kissed or shook hands, there were breaks and dolphin changes. However, despite the time running over, everyone was able to kiss and shake hands properly.

There was a 2-year-old child in the same group who was scared and cried the whole time. The dolphin's sounds and splashes seemed to frighten him, and the staff worked hard to calm him down, but unfortunately, he ended up crying until the end and couldn't touch the dolphin. I think it would be better for very timid children to be informed beforehand that dolphins are not scary before participating.

Sea Life Park is a very beautiful aquarium, and all the signs are written in Japanese, so it's a comfortable place for families with children to enjoy. Additionally, you can enjoy various wonderful views on the round-trip tour bus that you can't see in Waikiki.

６歳の子供と一緒にエンカウンターに参加しました。
1月だったので、水温が気になり11時からの回にしましたが、
それでも少し水温は冷たく感じられました。

はじめはイルカの機嫌が悪く、グループの数人がキスをしたり握手をしたりするたびに、
休憩が入ったりイルカの交代があったりしましたが、
時間が押してもきちんと全員キスをしたり握手をしたりできました。

同じグループの中に怖くてずっと泣いている2歳くらいのお子さんがいましたが、
イルカは鳴き声やバタ足が怖いそうで、スタッフの方が一生懸命泣きやまそうとしていましたが、
残念ながら結局最後まで泣きやまず、触る事ができなかったようです。
あまり怖がりのお子様には、事前にイルカが怖くないことを説明してあげてから参加した方が良いと思います。

シーライフパークはとても綺麗な水族館で、標識もすべて日本語で書いてあるので、子供連れには安心して楽しめます。
また往復のツアーバスの中で、ワイキキでは見られないような素敵な景色もいろいろと楽しめます。

I was amazed by the size of the sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean was just as I had heard. While snorkeling, I felt my physical limits. The waves were rough, and it was disappointing that I couldn't see anything! (I was grateful for the help that came to me, haha.) Spending time in such a beautiful place with my son, who is studying abroad at UH, became an unforgettable memory.

ウミガメの大きさには驚きました。海の美しさも評判通りでした。シュノーケルでは体力の限界を感じました。波が荒くて何も見えなくて残念！（助けにきてくださって助かりました(笑)）
UHに留学中の息子と久しぶりにあんなに美しい場所で過ごせて一生忘れない思い出になりました。

When making the reservation, I read some experiences and saw comments saying "we didn't see any whales," which made me a bit hesitant. However, since we come to Hawaii every year and my husband's mother was visiting Hawaii for the first time, we thought it would be nice to participate and enjoy the view of the Waikiki hotels from a large boat. We didn't see any whales, but we were able to spend a relaxing time.

予約する時、体験談を読んで
「くじら見えなかった」と言うコメントがあり少し迷いましたが私たちは、毎年ハワイに来ているけど、主人の母は初めてハワイに来たので、大きな船に乗って海の上からワイキキのホテルを眺めるのもいいかな・・・という気持ちで参加しました。
くじらは見えなかったけど、ゆっくりと時間を過ごせました

We were blessed with clear skies and low tide, allowing us to enjoy the heavenly sea.

A sea turtle swam right up to us in the vast sandy beach that was dry up to our ankles.

Although it didn't completely dry up, we were able to fully appreciate its beauty.

The guide was also enjoyable and provided excellent navigation, which made us feel at ease.

晴天にも恵まれ、干潮にも恵まれ天国の海を楽しめました。
足首まで干上がった広大な砂浜に、ウミガメが目前までスイスイと泳いでいます。

完全に干上がるまではいきませんでしたが、十分美しさを堪能できました。

またガイドの方も楽しく、しっかりとナビゲーションしてくださるので安心できました

We were blessed with clear skies, and we were able to see the tail fin clearly. We also got to see baby whales, so we thoroughly enjoyed the whale watching experience. The guide was American, but it seemed he had studied Japanese well, as he spoke clearly and explained the location and direction of the whales, which was very helpful.

晴天に恵まれ、尾びれもしっかりみれました。
子供のクジラもみれたので、しっかりホエールウォッチを堪能できました。ガイドの方もアメリカ人の方でしたが、しっかり日本語を勉強されているようで、聞き取りやすい発音で、クジラがみつかった位置や方位など説明してくださり、助かりました。

The timing was just right, and I was able to see whales perfectly! It was moving! I definitely recommend it.

時期がちょうどいいこともあり、クジラばっちり見れました☆感動しました☆ぜひおすすめです。

I participated in the monitor tour this time.

At pickup, an old bus arrived, which made me a bit anxious, but there were no problems at all! The driver even entertained us with singing while driving (laughs).

Upon arrival, we boarded the boat. First up was sea turtle watching. We were lucky to see many that day. Then we arrived at the sandbar. Unfortunately, it was only knee-deep, but we could stand in the middle of the ocean, and the view was beautiful!

Since I went in January, there was a perfect photo opportunity when the sun came out! At this time, we could practice snorkeling, but it was cold, so I quickly returned to the boat.

For lunch, we had homemade hamburgers!! They were incredibly delicious☆ During this time, the crew sang while playing the guitar, and we enjoyed a relaxing time.

Next, we moved to the coral area! Finally, it was time for snorkeling. It was cold, but once I got in, I was amazed by the coral and fish!

Before I knew it, the fun time had passed.

This tour seems to have started in the last few years, and since it was a small group, the staff were entertaining, which made it really great☆

Mahalo♪

今回モニターツアーで参加しました。

ピックアップ時にはちょっと古いバスが来て不安でしたが、
全然問題なし！運転手さんが運転しながら歌の披露とかしてくれました(笑)

到着して船に乗り込みます。まずは海亀ウォッチング。
この日はたくさん現れてくれました。
そしてサンドバーへ到着。残念ながらひざ下くらいでしたけど、海の真ん中に立てて、眺めもキレイでした！

私が行ったのは1月だったので、太陽が見えた時にシャッターチャンス！！という感じで写真を撮ってくれました。
この時にシュノーケルの練習ができますが、寒くてすぐに船に戻りました。

そして昼は手作りハンバーガー！！
めっちゃおいしくいただきました☆
このときにクルーの人がギターを片手に歌ってくれたりして、ゆっくりとした時間を過ごします。

そして、珊瑚エリアへ移動！
いよいよシュノーケル。寒いけど、入ってしまえば後は珊瑚と魚に感動！

あっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎました。

このツアーはここ数年からはじめたらしく、少人数だし、スタッフさんも面白くて、本当に良かったです☆

マハロ♪

I thought it might be too early to see whales, but I was able to catch a glimpse of a whale's back. It wasn't an impressive whale watching experience, but I feel lucky just to have seen it. Seeing a lot of fish at the Aloha Tower harbor was an unexpected stroke of luck.

クジラを見るにはまだ時期が早かったかと諦めムードの時にクジラの背中を見ることができました。迫力のあるクジラ観賞でなく、なんとも地味~なものでしたが、見れただけラッキーと納得しています。アロハタワーの港でたくさんの魚を見れたのは想定外のラッキーなものでした。

It was a bit cloudy and cold in December, but the sea was incredibly beautiful and I was moved!

The lunch was also luxurious and I was very satisfied! ☆

12月参加で少し曇っていて寒かったのですが、海はものすごくきれいで感動しました！

ランチも豪華で大満足でした☆

Early morning pickup and departure in the rain.

However, when we arrived at the destination, the rain stopped, and we were delighted to enjoy some malasadas♪

Since it was too cold in just our swimsuits, we rented wetsuits for $10.

On the way to the spot where we could see dolphins, we encountered whales, which got my friend and me really excited!

We were able to swim with a pod of dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle, so we were very satisfied! ^^

朝早くのピックアップ＋雨が降るなかでの出発。

しかし現地に着くと雨も上がり、マラサダも食べれてご満悦♪

水着だけでは寒いということで＄10でウェットスーツを借りました。

イルカに遭えるスポットに行くまでクジラに遭遇で友人と共に大興奮!

イルカの群れとも泳げたし、ウミガメにも遭えたので大満足でした！^^

I saw it~☆ After about 30 to 40 minutes on the boat, we spotted a whale in the distance☆ But then, for a while, we didn't see anything... Just as the announcement of "We're heading back to port" came on, a moment of disappointment washed over us, and then suddenly, about two whales appeared really close by~~ They raised their tails and splashed down!! It was amazing!! I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures...

見ちゃいました~☆
乗って３~４０分で少し遠目ですが、クジラが見えた☆
でも、それからしばらく何も見えず。。。
「帰港します」
のアナウンスが流れて。。。
ちょっとがっかり感が漂った瞬間に、
すごく近くで２頭くらいかな～～
尾ひれを上げてザブーン!!
スゴかったです!!感動!!
見とれてしまって写真を撮るのを忘れてしまいました。。。

Touching and kissing the dolphins was fun. I wish there was a family discount. I would like to participate again.

イルカとのタッチやキス。楽しかったです。家族割引的なものがあればなぁ。また参加したいです。

Well, the elderly couple said they enjoyed it.

まぁ~楽しめたと年寄り夫婦は言ってました。

We gathered early in the morning, but the staff's energetic response really lifted our spirits!!!

While traveling by bus, we bought some salad and headed to the West Coast. Along the way, we spotted a whale, which further boosted our excitement!!!

Upon arriving at the West Coast, we boarded the boat and set off! After receiving a full explanation, we spotted a manta ray!!!

Then, we immediately saw dolphins!!!!!! We dove into the sea!!!!! We got to see dolphins and sea turtles, which made us even more excited!!!!!

I felt a bit unsatisfied, but that was made up for with the marine sports.

We also enjoyed hamburgers (which were a bit cold, haha) on the boat and were very satisfied♪ That's all!

朝早くからの集合でしたが
スタッフさんの元気な対応でテンションup!!!

バスで移動中マサラダを購入し、西海岸へ移動。
途中クジラを見れて更にテンションup!!!

西海岸に着くと船に乗り出発！
説明を一通り受け、途中マンタ発見!!!

すぐさまイルカ発見!!!!!!
海へダイブ!!!!!
イルカも見れてウミガメも見れてテンションupupup!!!!!

少し物足りなさを感じましたが
そのあとの、マリンスポーツでチャラ

更に船でハンバーガー（少し冷たい笑）を食べて大満足♪
以上！

I participated in an afternoon BBQ lunch tour.

I wanted to walk on the sand where the water had receded, but the water level was about 15 to 20 centimeters, which was a bit disappointing... Still, the beauty of the ocean and the surrounding scenery was truly amazing!! After walking on the sandbar, I snorkeled for about 20 minutes, but it was quite cold. A sea turtle swam right by me, and I was able to see it up close.

All the staff were very friendly, and I had a really enjoyable time!♪♪

午後のBBQランチ付きツアーに参加しました。

水の引いた砂の上を歩きたかったのですが、水位が１５~２０センチほどありちょっと残念でした・・・
それでも海の綺麗さ、周りの景色は本当に最高でした！！
サンドバーウォーキングの後は、シュノーケリングを２０分ほどしたのですがかなり寒かったです。泳いでいるすぐそばを海ガメが通りすぎて間近で見ることができました。

スタッフの方の皆さん感じがよく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができましたっ♪♪

I used the service on January 8. We were able to see the tails of whales about three or four times off the coast of Honolulu. The meals were satisfactory and matched the price. On the way back on the boat, there were also activities like lei-making and hula dance classes, which everyone enjoyed. I think it's a tour that is definitely worth participating in.

１月８日に利用しました。
ホノルル沖で、３、４回クジラの尻尾だけでしたが見ることができました。食事も価格相応の内容で満足いくものでした。船の帰りには、レイ作り、フラダンス教室等も開催され、皆さん楽しんでいました。
十分に参加する価値があるツアーだと思います。

I applied with some hesitation, but I was truly moved to see whales! The kids were also impressed, and it became a great winter vacation memory. I've been to Hawaii quite a few times, but I had never participated in something like this, so I especially recommend it for families with children. The food was enjoyable too! I would love to participate again.

半信半疑で申し込みましたが、本当にクジラを見れて感動！子供達もインパクトがあり、いい冬休みの思い出になりました。ハワイはかなり行ってますが、こういうものに参加したことがなかったので、子供がいる人には特におすすめです。ご飯も楽しめました！又、参加したいですね。

It was a fun pool despite everything that happened.

いろいろありましたが、楽しいプールでした。

I participated with my 1 year and 9-month-old child.

Having joined other whale watching tours in the past, I can share my thoughts for comparison:

If you really want to see whales, you should go on a small, fast, and maneuverable boat.

I recommend a small group tour that stops the boat if dolphins are spotted and allows you to dive into the sea.

However, for those with children or those who may feel uneasy about small boats, this large boat tour might be the right choice.

It might be better to join with the mindset of hoping to see whales while enjoying a lunch cruise. The food is quite delicious, and there are events on board, so I think it's a tour that won't disappoint.

１歳９ヶ月の子供を連れての参加です。

過去、他にもホエールウォッチングに参加していますので、
比べた感想を言いますと、


クジラを本当に見たいのなら、速度の速い、小回りのきく
小さい船でいくべきです。

クジラのほかにもイルカが見えたら船を止め、
海にもぐらせてくれるような、
そんな少人数のツアーがお勧めです。


しかし子連れや、船酔いなど、小型の船が不安な人にとっては
この大型船のツアーは正解かと思います。


ランチクルーズしたついでに、クジラが見えればいいかな、
という考え方で参加したほうがいいかもしれません。
でも料理はなかなか美味しいですし、船内のイベントもありますし、はずれのないツアーかと思います。

It's just a short distance from the hotel to the boat, so we easily participated as a family. What surprised me was encountering whales just a stone's throw away from Waikiki. I was amazed that whales were swimming so close. I felt the depth and endless charm of Hawaii.

　ホテルから船までもスグですし、かなり気軽に家族で参加しました。
　驚いたのはワイキキ目と鼻の先でクジラに出会えたことです。こんなに近い所にクジラが泳いでるなんてビックリ。ハワイの懐の深さや尽きない魅力を感じました。

We participated in an early morning plan with a 7:30 pickup for a three-generation family trip. This was our fourth stay in Oahu, but it was our first time visiting the heavenly sea sandbar, and everyone was filled with excitement.

The beauty of Kaneohe Bay was astonishing; we could see coral and tropical fish right at the harbor where the boats were docked. Once we boarded the boat and headed out to sea, we spotted sea turtles (honu) here and there. The water at the sandbar was about knee-deep, but the location was truly as wonderful as advertised. During snorkeling, we encountered a school of fish swimming among the corals just three seconds after diving in—absolutely amazing.

Surrounded by a rich ecosystem, beautiful sea, friendly and cheerful staff, and picturesque views in every direction, it became a memorable experience for us. Our whole family was very satisfied.

I don't think there’s much worry about seasickness due to the boat's structure and the calm sea, and the activities were enjoyable for everyone, from kids to grandma. If you have the chance, I highly recommend it.

　３世代家族旅行の折に7:30ﾋﾟｯｸｱｯﾌﾟの早朝ﾌﾟﾗﾝに参加です。家族みんなでのオアフ滞在は4度目だったのですが、天国の海サンドバーへは初めてで一同ワクワク感たっぷりで臨みました。
　驚くのはカネオヘ湾の綺麗な事、船の係留されている港でいきなり珊瑚や熱帯魚が見られ。いざ船に乗って沖に出ると、あちらこちらでウミガメ(ホヌ)を確認。サンドバーは膝下位の水位でしたが、看板に偽りなしの素晴らしいロケーション。その後のシュノーケルでは、潜って3秒で珊瑚の間を泳ぐ魚の群れに遭遇で言う事なし。
　豊かな生態系と美しい海、親切で陽気なスタッフ、どこを向いても絵になる素敵な景色に囲まれ、心に残る体験となりました。我が家のみんな大満足です。
　船の構造と穏やかな海で船酔いの心配もそうないと思いますし、体力的にも子どもからバアちゃんまで各々に合わせて楽しめる内容で問題なし。機会あれば、ぜひお勧めです。

Early morning gathering.

My husband, my middle school daughter, and I participated.

Yuriko mentioned that she couldn't meet the dolphin teacher the day before, but we were lucky enough to see a whale. We also saw dolphins perfectly. The scenery was amazing. The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious.

Photos from the tour are available on DVD for those who wish to purchase them.

We bought one and watched it after returning home, and I thought it was a nice keepsake of our memories.

It became a great memory with the people who participated in the tour together.

早朝の集合。

主人、中学生の娘と参加しました。

前日はイルカ先生に会えなかったとユリ子さんが言ってましたが、私達はラッキーなことに、くじらまで見ることができました。
イルカもバッチリ。
景色も最高。
ランチのチーズバーガーも美味しかったです。

ツアー中の写真がDVDとして発売され希望者は購入できます。

私達は購入して帰ってから見ましたが、思い出の一品として
良かったと思いました。

一緒にツアーに参加された方達との良い思い出になりました。

Swimming with dolphins was a dream come true!! It was truly enjoyable. I participated alone this time, but I was genuinely healed by the adorable dolphins!!

憧れのドルフィンスイム！！
本当に楽しかったです。
今回は一人参加（一人旅）だったのですが、可愛いイルカ達に心から癒されました！！
