All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

This is a place I wanted to visit at least once when I went to Hawaii. I was able to take photos, and it was a lot of fun. I signed up for the barbecue course, which I also recommend. The snorkeling was a bit lacking... maybe the visibility wasn't great? Next time, I think I'll try scuba diving.

ハワイにいったら一度は行ってみたかったところです。
写真も撮ってもらえたし、とても楽しかったです。
バーベキューコースを申込しましたが、これもおすすめです。
シュノーケリングはちょっと物足りませんでした。。透明度がいまいちだったのかも？？？次回はスキューバーダイビングをしようと思います。

It was quite a while ago, but I participated in October. I heard that there had been high waves for about a week prior, which made the sea murky and reduced visibility.

While on the boat, we could see the dorsal fins of the dolphins swimming, and each time we spotted them, we were told to "go! go! go! go!" and everyone hurriedly jumped in, but we could hardly see them swimming.

After jumping in three times, most people caught a glimpse for just a moment (about three seconds) on the third try, but another couple and I couldn’t see them at all. We moved again, and only those who hadn’t seen them got to try again. Finally, I managed to see them for about five seconds.

I should have been happy, but maybe because I had seen too many participant experiences and photos, I felt a bit disappointed, thinking, "I thought I would see more..."

After that, we moved to the bay. It was also murky there, with visibility of just a few meters. Of course, I couldn’t see any turtles or tropical fish at all. We alternated between kayaking and paddle surfing, but my spirits were low, so I ended up eating snacks on the boat.

In the distance, I could see a group of dolphins meeting with a school of dolphins. Having come to Hawaii to see dolphins, I was envious of those on the school’s boat who were chasing dolphins until the end, rather than staying in the murky bay for paddle surfing. I didn’t expect to see so few dolphins.

The staff were great. They really tried to make it exciting. If we could have seen the dolphins clearly instead of just for a moment, it might have been a lot more fun.

随分前になりますが、私が参加したのは１０月でした。
現地ではちょうど一週間前くらいから高波が続いていたということで、海が濁り、透明度が低く。

船の上にいると泳いでいるイルカの背びれが見え、その度に船で移動し、「go!go!go!go!」と言われて皆慌てて飛び込むのですが、なかなか泳いでいる姿は見えず。

３回飛び込んで、３回目にして大半の人は一瞬（３秒くらい）見えたのですが、私ともう１組のカップルは見れず。
再移動して、見れなかった人だけ再チャレンジ。
ようやく私も５秒程度でしたが見えました。

本当は嬉しいはずなのに、参加者の体験談とか写真とか見過ぎていたのか、「もっと見られるかと思ったのに」という気持ちで、イマイチでした。。。

その後、湾のほうへ移動。
こちらも濁っていて、視界は数ｍ程度。もちろん亀も熱帯魚も全く見られず。
カヤックとパドルサーフィンを交代で…という感じでしたが、気持ちも下がっていたので船上でお菓子を食べていました。。

離れたところでは、イルカ中学がイルカと会っている姿が。
イルカに会う為にハワイに来た私は、パドルサーフィンなどの為に濁った湾に留まっているよりも、中学の船で最後までイルカを追いかけているのが羨ましかったです。
こんなにイルカが見れないとは思っていませんでした。

スタッフの方はいい方達です。すごく盛り上げようとしてくれます。
イルカが一瞬だけでなくしっかり見られれば、きっと楽しかったのかもしれません。

I had a wish to swim with dolphins, and it came true! I swam while holding onto the dorsal fin of a dolphin and played with them. However, since it was done in turns, I could only touch the dolphins a little bit.

It was a bit pricey, but I recommend it for those who want to swim with dolphins.

一度イルカと一緒に泳いでみたい！という願いがかないました。
プールの中でイルカの背びれにつかまって泳いだり、
イルカとたわむれました。
でも順番に少しずつなので、実際イルカに触れられるのは少しです。

ちょっと値段は高かったけど、イルカに乗って泳ぎたい人にはおすすめです。

Swimming with wild dolphins in the ocean has been a dream of mine for many years. I thought it would be difficult, so I participated with the expectation of being lucky to catch even a glimpse. However! Not only did I see them, but from the boat, I witnessed dolphins jumping, and once in the water, there were pods of dolphins coming one after another! I could even hear their cute sounds, and it was truly moving.

Additionally, all the staff were cheerful, and I believe it would have been a fun tour even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. After getting off the boat, we had a hula lesson in a cool shade, which also became a heartwarming and enjoyable memory. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

野生のイルカと海で一緒に泳ぐのが長年の夢でした。
でも難しいだろうから、『ちらっとでも見れたらラッキーだな』ぐらいの期待で参加したのです。
ところが！ちらっとどころか、ボート上からはイルカたちのジャンプが、海に入ればイルカの群れが次から次へと！！かわいい鳴き声も聞こえ、もう感動でした。
また、スタッフも皆陽気で、もしイルカが見れなかったとしても楽しいツアーになったと思います。
ボートを降りた後は涼しい木陰でフラレッスン、こちらも心癒される楽しい思い出となりました。
今度ハワイに行ったときにも是非参加したいです。

We definitely go every year! The location is far, so it takes time to travel back and forth, but the American and wild attractions are so much fun. At first, I had to convince my family, who were hesitant, saying, "A pool in HAWAII?" (laughs)

There are many rides for two or three people, so it also allows for some bonding time.

Since it closes early, you can still have plenty of fun after returning to Waikiki, so I highly recommend it!

我が家は毎年、必ず行きます！
場所は遠いので、往復の移動時間は掛かりますが、アメリカンでワイルドなアトラクションが楽しいデス。
はじめは「ＨＡＷＡＩＩに来てまで、プール？」と渋る家族を説得して、行ったのですが（笑）

二人、三人で乗るライドも多いので、スキンシップにもなります。

早めの時間にクローズするので、ワイキキに戻ってからも、充分遊べるので、お薦めです！

This tour is all about having a good vibe. The key to enjoying it is to let loose and have fun without feeling shy.

As for the dolphins, at first, I thought I might not see any, but later on, I encountered many dolphins, which made me quite satisfied.

You can also enjoy malasadas, marine sports, and hula dancing, making the most of your time in Hawaii.

It involves quite a bit of physical activity, so on the way back, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car until we reached the hotel.

このツアーはとにかくノリが大切。恥ずかしがらずにノリまくるのが楽しむコツです。
肝心のイルカですが、最初のうちは全然見れずに、こんなもんかなーと思っていたのですが、その後たくさんのイルカに遭遇できたので、かなり満足しました。
他にもマラサダ、マリンスポーツ、フラダンスと、ハワイを満喫できます。
結構な運動量なので、帰りの車の中では疲れてホテルまでぐっすり眠ってしまいました。

Is it only for Japanese people? All the participants were Japanese.
The staff was about half Japanese and half foreign. Everyone on the staff was very kind and energetic, which made it a lot of fun.

As for the weather on the day, it would definitely be more beautiful when it's sunny!

Is the sandbar's visibility above the water level just a matter of luck?
Unfortunately, when I went, it was not visible above the water and was submerged up to my knees.

日本人専用なのかな？参加者はすべて日本人でした。
スタッフも日本人と外国人半々くらいでした。スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で元気な人たちばかりで楽しかったですよ。


あとは当日の天候のみ、やっぱり晴れているときはキレイさが増すでしょう！！

サンドバーもどれくらい水面から出ているかは運次第？
私が行ったときは残念ながら水面からは出ておらず、膝位まで海水に沈んでました。

I participated in the Japanese guide's time slot.
I recommend it for those who can't snorkel or dive.
I joined for my 5-year-old son.
We could see sharks and turtles, and we received a pamphlet (in Japanese!) with a list of possible sea creatures we might see, so my son was quite happy comparing the pamphlet with what we saw on the ocean floor.
However, the diving time is a bit long at 45 minutes, so towards the end, it can get a little boring.
Also, it felt like the air conditioning was a bit too strong, so I recommend bringing warm items like a shawl or cardigan.
The staff at the dock were very kind and treated my son very nicely, which was great.

日本語ガイドの時間帯に参加しました。
シュノーケリングやダイビングができない人にお勧めです。
私は5歳の息子のために参加しました。
サメやカメなどが見られるし、見られる可能性のある海の生き物の名前のりすとのあるパンフ（日本語！）ももらえるので、息子はパンフと海の底を見比べては、それなりに喜んでおりました。
ただし、潜水時間が45分とやや長めなので、最後の方はやや飽きがきます。
また、空調がやや効きすぎている感があり、ショールやカーデガンなどの防寒グッズと持っていかれることをお勧めします。
船着き場のスタッフの方がとても親切で、息子にとても優しくしてくれましたのも良かったです。

The session I participated in had only two other guests, so I was able to interact with the dolphins a lot!

I was really looking forward to swimming while holding onto the dolphin's dorsal fin, but it seems I misunderstood the course details, as that wasn't included. Instead, I got to lie on the dolphin's back and swim while holding hands! I can't express how happy I felt.

I usually don't buy photos sold at tourist spots, but since the kiss photo with the dolphin could only be taken from the photographer's position, and there was a coupon for a DVD from Alan1.net, I decided to buy one photo and received the DVD.

I'm currently enjoying the afterglow while watching the DVD.

By the way, I’m an adult and can’t swim, but I was able to float with a life jacket, and most of the activities were in a shallow pool where I could stand. So, it was fine. There were times when I had to swim in the pool, but if you're like me and don't have a fear of water, I think you'll manage just fine.

Next time, I want to challenge myself with the Royal Swim!

私が参加した回は、他のお客さんが2人だけと少なく、たっぷりイルカとふれあえました！

イルカの背びれにつかまって泳ぐのをとても楽しみにしていたのですが、コース内容を勘違いしていたらしく、背びれにつかまって泳ぐのはなかったのですが、
イルカが仰向けになってそのお腹に乗って、手をつないで泳ぎました！！
もう何て言えばよいのか、本当に幸せな気分になれまし
た。

普段は観光地で売り物の写真は買わない主義なのですが、イルカとのKISS写真はカメラマンさんのポジションからしか撮れないのと、Alan1.netさんのDVDプレゼントクーポンがあったので、写真を1枚買い、DVDをいただきました。

DVDを見て、余韻に浸っています。

因みに私は大人で、泳げないのですが、ライフジャケットで浮けるし、浅いプールで大半が足の着く位置でのアクティビティだったので、大丈夫でした。
泳いでプールの中にいかなきゃいけないときもありましたが、私のように、恐怖心はなくただ泳げない方であればなんとかなると思います。

次回はロイヤルスイムに挑戦したいと思います！！

I participated at the request of my son, who is now in his first year of middle school. Our guide, Shin, was very attentive and there were no particular troubles. My son was able to dive properly. I think he did a great job for his first time. We encountered sea turtles twice. It was humorous to see them just floating and not moving much. The schools of fish seemed a bit sparse. Still, when I went in with the snorkel and had food in my hand, I was able to observe a large number of fish up close.

中学１年になった息子のリクエストで参加しました。ガイドのシンさんは、丁寧に教えてくれて特にトラブルはありませんでした。息子もちゃんと潜っていました。はじめてにしては上出来だったと思います。ウミガメに２回出会いました。ちょっとボ~ッとして動かないのがユーモラスでした。魚群は少し薄い感じがしました。それでも、シュノーケルで入ったとき餌を手にしていると多くの数の魚がまじかで観察できました。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, but the water park was also a lot of fun. I had been to Wet 'n Wild in Florida before, so I made a reservation, and it was just as I expected; I had a great time.

ハワイといえば海ですが、ウォーターパークも大変楽しかったです。昔フロリダのウェット・アンド・ワイルドに行ったので、予約したのですが、期待通りで大変楽しめました。

Participation in each event involves running quickly after the explanation and writing our names on the registration forms for each event.

Once the forms reach capacity, registration closes, and we are told to go to other events.

Since the start and end times of the events are different, we need to manage our time well; otherwise, we won't be able to complete the two morning events.

I found out on-site that horseback riding and the buggy ride cannot be combined.

Multiple slides are continuously closing.
There aren't enough floaties.
The operating hours for each activity are short.
It takes over 60 minutes to get there using the freeway from Waikiki.

The bodyboard lesson has no instruction or explanation,
but you can monopolize the wave pool for 30 minutes,
so you can ride the waves until you're tired.

The paved surfaces in the facility are so hot they can burn,
making it impossible to walk barefoot.

Initially, we were told that we were unable to tour the Arizona until 30 minutes before we needed to check out of our hotel. Our driver, Cousin Jerry, saved the day. He walked up to the ticket booth and obtained tickets for my entire family for a tour three hours earlier. This gave us plenty of time to tour the Arizona and Honolulu and have lunch. He really went the extra mile for us!

After a 15-minute ride on a medium-sized boat, we arrived at a shallow area with a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. It was truly surprising. We walked around and chatted there, and then went snorkeling. However, we didn't have much time (about 30 to 40 minutes), which was a bit disappointing. There weren't as many fish as I had expected. The lunch was very delicious, but since it was probably around 3:30 to 4:00 PM, everyone was quite hungry. I think it's better to have a light snack if you're on an afternoon tour. However, I was very happy to unexpectedly receive Leonard's malasadas for free.

中型ボートで15分も走るとそこには20~30センチの浅瀬に。本当に驚きです。そこでウォーキングやおしゃべりなどをしてその後はシュノーケリングへ。ただあまり時間が取れず（30~40分位）そこがちょっと残念でした。お魚は期待していたよりいなかったです。ランチはとてもおいしかったのですが、恐らく3時半~4時位だったので、みんなお腹がペコペコでした。午後のツアーの場合、軽く食べていったほうがいいと思います。ただ、レナーズのマサラダが無料で配られ思いもよらなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。

The sandbar changes completely depending on the tides, and I think its uniqueness deserves a perfect score of 100. However, it's important to note that it doesn't always form a beach in the middle of the sea as shown in the pictures. Those who are lucky might find a beach, while others can enjoy the sea turtles.

サンドバーはそのときの潮の満ち引きによって全然景色が変わるし、珍しさは１００点だと思います。
ただ、写真のように海の真ん中に浜になっているとは限らないので要注意。運がいい人は浜に当たるかもね。浜に出会えない方は海ガメで楽しめるかも。

Well worth the experience for the activity and the views. It is a moderate hike, so if you are overwieght and/or out of shape, it takes a lot of effort. Take water, go earlier rather than later, and don't go on an empty stomach. Very enjoyable.

I was picked up from the hotel where I was staying, passed by the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and arrived at the port. After a bathroom break, we boarded the boat. Before reaching the dolphin point, we were lucky enough to see a rare whale at the end of April. We snorkeled at the dolphin point. When we were told to "look down," we saw many dolphins! The underwater world, illuminated by sunlight, was beautiful.

My 4-year-old child was indeed scared of the ocean, but the staff helped by putting them on a kayak, and they seemed to have a great time.

The hula dance while feeling the wind was also enjoyable, and the CD of the photos I purchased turned out to be excellent. I brought an underwater camera, but I couldn't compete with the professionals.

Since it was April, I was glad I brought a hoodie.

宿泊してたホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、この木なんの木の横を通過し、港に到着。トイレタイムの後船に乗り込みます。イルカポイントに着く前に４月末には珍しい鯨に会えました。イルカポイントでシュノーケル。look downと言われ海の中を見るとイルカがたくさん！日の光が注ぐ海の中は綺麗でした。
４歳の子どもは、やはり海を恐がりましたが、スタッフがカヤックに乗せてくれて、楽しそうでした。

風を感じてのフラダンスも楽しかったし、購入した写真のＣＤも、申し分なく出来上がりの良いものでした。私も水中カメラを持って行きましたが、プロには敵わないです。

時期が４月ということもあり、パーカーを持って行って正解でした。

One of my daughter's requests for this trip to Hawaii was to kiss a dolphin! We participated in a tour that made this dream come true. Since I was pregnant, I couldn't join in, so I took on the role of photographer by the poolside. However, the photos taken by the staff there turned out much nicer, so I recommend purchasing them as a keepsake.

Currently, there's a campaign where if you buy photos, you receive a DVD, so I made sure to get that as well. It was great!

As for my daughter, she was a bit nervous seeing the dolphins up close, but it turned into a wonderful memory. Once she gets a little older, I would love for her to participate in a program where she can play with the dolphins!

今回のハワイ旅行の娘のリクエストの一つ。イルカさんにキスしたい！！という夢を叶える事ができるツアーということで参加させていただきました。
私は妊娠中という事で参加はできなかったのでプールサイドで撮影係に徹していたのですが、現地で撮影していただいた物のほうが綺麗に撮れていましたので思い出に購入をお勧めします。
今キャンペーン中で写真を購入するとＤＶＤを頂けるとという事でしっかりもらってきました。よかったですよ。

肝心の娘は間近で見るイルカにかたまり　緊張したようですがいい思い出ができました。
もう少し大きくなったら今度はイルカと遊べるプログラムのほうにも参加してみたいです！

楽しかったです、素晴らしい体験でした。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございます。

It was fun, was an impressive experience
Your staff, thank you

The lady who greeted us was fantastic and very very helpful

I thought it would be an amazing place, so I participated, but it was just okay. However, I had fun!

凄いとこかなーと思い参加しましたが、まあまあでした。
でも楽しかったです！

Must do if this is your first time to Hawaii, staff is very helpfull Aloha spirit is alive and well with this company. Be prepared to tip your greeter, they do not expect a tip but iy is always good to support the industry.

I happened to sign up for the tour during the season when whales can be seen. Also, I thought that even if I couldn't see any whales, just being able to see Waikiki from the sea would be good enough, so I signed up with a light heart.

As a result, it was really great.
1. I was able to see the blue whales multiple times.
2. The food was much more delicious than what I had during the magic show, and even when the whales appeared, I was watching from the dining area while eating.
3. My wife usually gets seasick within an hour, but she didn't feel the engine's vibrations and was surprised by how little the boat rocked.
4. While Diamond Head is a great way to get a view of Waikiki, from the sea, we could see all the way to downtown.
5. I experienced my first ukulele class with Americans, Spaniards, and Hawaiians, which was an unexpected experience. It was also fun to see a white girl enjoying hula dance with sparkling eyes.

たまたま鯨が見れるシーズンだったのでツワーに申込ました。また、鯨が見れなくても海上からワイキキが見れれば、それだけでも良いと軽い気持ちで申込ました。
結果として、すごく良かったです。
１．シロナガス鯨を何度も見ることが出来ました。
２．マジックショー等で食べた食事より数段美味しい料理　　で、鯨が現れても食事をしながら食堂から見てました。
３．１時間もすれば船酔いする妻ですが、エンジンの振動も　感じられず、揺れの少なさにもびっくりです。
４．ワイキキを一望する方法としてダイヤモンドヘッドもい　いですが、海上からだとダウンタウンまで一望できまし　　た。
５．アメリカ人、スペイン人、ハワイアンの人達と初めての　ウクレレ教室を体験し、予定外の体験をすることができま　した。白人の女の子が目を輝かせながらフラダンスに興じ　ているのを見るのも楽しかったです。

I traveled with my 82-year-old mother, and she was able to walk without any issues, which made us very happy. It was a tour that everyone in the family enjoyed. It was a very beautiful place, and it became a lifelong memory for both my mother and me. Thank you very much.

82歳母との同行でしたが、全く問題なく歩けてとても喜んでおりました。参加した家族全員が喜んで遊べたツアーでした。とても綺麗な場所で母にも私にも一生の思い出になりました。有難うございました。

My Boyfriend and I had an incredible time on the Navatek. The employee who greeted us at the hotel was our server on the boat. She was the nicest most attentive women ever. The sunset was beautiful. This trip was a sheer pleasure.

I had to go to the sandbar on my first trip to Hawaii! Although I was alone, the staff were young and friendly, and the ocean was incredibly beautiful. Of course, I also got to see sea turtles. It seemed difficult to take pictures, though. I’m good at snorkeling, so I easily cleared it and swam at the front of the tour, enjoying the fish in the clear waters.

初めてのハワイでサンドバー行くっきゃない！だけどぉ、独りは一人だったけどぉ。スタッフは若くて気さくな感じだし、海はとってもきれいなのだぁ。もちろんウミガメも見れたよぉ。写真に撮るのは難しそうだったけれどぉ。初種のーケリングも潜るの得意だから難なくクリアーでツアーの先頭を泳げば澄み切った海で魚たちを楽しめます。

It wasn't my first time, so there wasn't anything particularly new, but it was a bit cold in March. However, the pool in Waikiki is similarly (or even more) chilly, so it's not an issue with the facilities.

When I visited before, not all the slides were operating at the same time, and there were periods when some were closed. This time, I felt there were a bit more closures. According to the staff, it was due to water usage restrictions. I'm not sure if this will be resolved in the summer, but even on a Sunday, it wasn't inconvenient enough to be a problem; it would just be better if everything was available.

It seems that people who booked through other travel agencies were on the same pickup bus. I recommend booking through Alan 1.

はじめてではなかったので、特段目新しいことはなかったのですが、３月でちょっと寒かったです。もっともワイキキのプールでも同様（あるいはそれ以上）ですので、施設の問題ではありません。
以前に行った時も全てのスライダーが同時に稼働しているわけではなく一部が休止状態になる時間があったのですが、今回はそれがちょっと多いと感じました。係員によると水の利用制限が理由とのことでした。夏になると解消するのか否かわかりませんが、日曜の参加でも不便を感じるほどではありませんが、全部使えるとなお良いです。
他の旅行社で申し込んだと思われる人たちも同じピックアップバスです。Alan１での申し込みはお薦めします。

Waited 40+ years to go, way too long, something that every American should see. But needed more time, than 1 day. If opportunity came, would go back and spend more time.

The main benefit in this tour was to have someone else stand in line and get the tickets and drive around. The Arizona memorial and Missouri tours are handled basically self tours. My favorite portion was the oral history as told by our guide, Cousin Jerry. This was too short. I wish I had heard more from him.
