All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was my first experience with snorkeling!

Even though I wore a life jacket, it was quite challenging for me, who can't swim, to get used to using the fins ^^;

However, they assessed how well each participant could swim at the beginning and provided support, so I was able to swim with peace of mind ;)

The water wasn't as clear as in photos or stories, so I couldn't see the dolphins clearly underwater or swim with them, but I could hear their voices! ((＠0＠) From the boat, I was able to see several mother-dolphin pairs and groups☆

The captain and crew were incredibly kind, and the hamburgers were delicious ♥ When I was on the kayak, I got to see a sea turtle up close, which was truly moving (:_; )

And above all...

The ocean was so beautiful!!!!

I forgot everything and felt so relaxed ´ω`

The final hula experience was also a lot of fun *^'*b

I think anyone, whether friends, couples, or families, will definitely enjoy it!!

I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Hawaii in just one day＼^0^／

シュノーケリング初体験でした！

ライフジャケットを着用していたものの、
泳げない私はフィンの使い方に
慣れるまでなかなか大変でした^^;

でも最初にどのくらい泳げるか
参加者の状態を把握して
フォローしてくれたので
安心して泳げました;)

海はそれほど透き通ってなかったので、
写真や体験談のように
水中でイルカをハッキリ見たり、
一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
声が聞こえましたよっ((＠0＠
船上からは何頭もの親子や群れを
見ることができました☆

キャプテンやクルーの皆さんは
とーっても優しいし、
ハンバーガーはおいしいし♥
カヤックに乗った時には
ウミガメを間近で見られて
本当に感動しました(:＿＿;)

そして何より…

海がキレ~~~イ!!!!

何もかも忘れて
癒してもらいました´ω`

最後のフラ体験も
とっても楽しかったです*^'*b

友達、カップル、家族、
誰と参加しても必ず
楽しめると思います!!

一日でHawaiiを体験したい方には
本当にオススメです＼^0^／

I participated for the first time in late March, as I visit the Hawaiian Islands every year between December and April for child-rearing. We had the option to choose between two sizes of cruising boats, and after some hesitation, I decided to go with the smaller boat that seemed more maneuverable.

"Bingo!" On that day, we were able to see a mother humpback whale and her calf up close, which was truly moving. It seemed we were very lucky.

The breakfast included was disappointing, but since the whales were the main attraction, I guess it was acceptable?

毎年１２月~４月の間に　子育てのためハワイ諸島近海を訪れるという事で初めて（３月下旬）参加しました。クルージング船が大小２種類のうちの選択でしたが、迷ったあげく、小回りの利きそうな双同船を選ぶことにしました。
「ビンゴ！」私たちは当日、ザトウクジラの親子を目の当たりに見ることができ、感動致しました。とてもラッキーだったようです。
朝食付きの「朝食」は期待外れでしたが、でもクジラがメインでしたのでよしとするかな？

It was a lot of fun to interact with two dolphins and swim together. I'm glad I could experience something that I definitely can't do in Japan. The kids were also very happy.

二頭のイルカとふれあい、一緒に泳ぎとても楽しかった。
日本では、絶対体験出来ないのでよかったです。
子供も大変喜んでいました。

The day after arriving in Hawaii, three women in their 50s escaped Waikiki and, without knowing what to expect, the first challenge we took on was the Tornado at the world's largest and best water park. It was incredibly thrilling, and we lost ourselves in excitement, screaming together. We eagerly tried one attraction after another. Although we participated without much thought, we ended up having an absolutely wonderful day. When I shared this with others, they expressed a strong desire to try it at least once.

ハワイ到着の次の日50過ぎの熟女3名でワイキキを抜けだし、世界最大最高のウォータパークで訳も分からず、一番最初にチャレンジしたのが、トルネード。最高にスリル満点で、我を忘れて皆でキャーキャーと絶叫し、次から次へと他のアトラクションにチャレンジ。考えもせずに参加しましたが、最高に楽しい一日を過ごすことができました。
他の人に話をしたところ、ぜひ一度参加してみたいと、言っていただけました。　

This was my second time in Hawaii, and while I went into the ocean last time, I thought just soaking in the water was boring. Since I was in Hawaii, I decided to fully enjoy some water activities and participated in this one. I'm not good with thrilling rides, but I found it wasn't too scary while holding onto the tube, or big float. I think I will participate in this activity again the next time I come to Hawaii, as I felt it was just right for "getting used to the water."

今回で２回目のハワイでしたが、前回は海に入ったけど
ただ海に浸かっているだけじゃつまらないと思っていたので
せっかくのハワイだし思いっきり水遊びしようと今回の
アクティビティーに参加させていただきました
私は絶叫系はニガテなんですが、チューブ？大きな浮き輪？
につかまって柔らかかったのかそんなに怖いと感じませんでした。
次回またハワイに来たらこのアクティビティーは前半で参加しようと思っています
何ていうか「水に慣れる」のには丁度良いアクティビティーだと感じました

On the day of our visit, we drove there with a rental car. It’s easy to spot right after you exit the freeway.

There were three of us in the family, including a 4-year-old boy (105 cm tall). However, the height restrictions were quite strict, and although he was close to being able to ride, he wasn’t allowed (which is understandable for safety reasons). He seemed to find the slides in the kids' pool a bit lacking.

It was early March, and while there was quite a bit of sunshine, the water temperature was low, making it chilly even for adults.

I think kids in upper elementary school would really enjoy it. You can experience slides on a scale that you can't find in Japan.

The wave pool was also quite impressive and exciting. Young children can participate if they are with an adult, but since each inflatable ring can only hold one person, it can be dangerous if they can’t hold on (even for toddlers).

Personally, I found the restrooms and changing rooms to be old and dirty, which was a downside. It felt like more locals were visiting than tourists.

I recommend it for groups looking to have fun or families with older children.

当日はレンタカーで向かいました。フリーウェイを降りるとすぐ見えてきます。

家族3人、子供は4歳男の子（身長105センチ）でしたが、身長制限がけっこうシビアであと少しで乗れそうなのですが、やらせてもらえず、（安全上仕方ないですけど）子供専用プールのスライダー類ではあまりもの足り無かったようです。
3月の上旬で、日差しはけっこうありましたが、水温が低くて、大人でも冷たかったです。

小学校高学年くらいになれば、かなり楽しめると思います。
日本には無いスケールのスライダーを、楽しめます。

波のプールもけっこう迫力あって、もりあがります。幼児でも大人と一緒なら参加できますが、浮輪ひとつに一人ずつなので、（幼児でも1人）つかまっていられないと危ないです。

個人的には、トイレや更衣室が古くて汚かったのがマイナス要素でした。
観光客より、ロコが来ているという印象です。

グループでワイワイ、もしくは家族でもある程度の年齢の子供がいるファミリーにおススメです。

This was my first time participating.

The slides had a thrilling design that you can't find in Japan, and I was able to enjoy sliding on all of them. Even though it was a holiday, the wait times were only about 5 to 15 minutes, so I was able to slide a lot. However, since you have to climb the stairs to slide each time, it can be quite tiring on your legs. The Tornado and Shaka slides were particularly good.

I also took a bodyboard lesson, and we had the entire large wave pool to ourselves with just five people for 30 minutes. During the lesson, no other guests were allowed in, so it was just the five of us who participated that day. Even for those who had never tried bodyboarding before, the staff provided support, making it easy and fun to ride the waves.

今回、初めて参加させて頂きました。

スライダーは日本にはない絶叫設計？でどれも楽しくすべることができました。休日でしたが、待ち時間も5分~15分程度で、たくさんすべることができました。ただ、どれも自分で階段を上ってすべるので、足に結構きます。
特にトルネードとシャカがGOODでした。

ボディーボードレッスンも受けましたが、あの広い波プールをたった5人で30分も貸切状態。レッスンタイム中は一般のお客さんは入れないので、この日参加した5名だけでした。
ボディボード未経験者もスタッフさんがサポートしてくれるので、どんどん乗れて楽しいです。

I previously experienced dolphin watching in Guam, but this time it was whale watching. I was told that the chances of seeing them were fifty-fifty, but I was able to see them multiple times. The boat didn't rock much, and I didn't get seasick. It was comfortable!!

いるかウォッチングは以前、グアムで経験しましたが、今回はクジラ。会えるかどうかは五分五分といわれましたが、何回も見ることができました。
船もあまり揺れず、船酔いもなし。快適でした！！

I participated in the most popular tour, the afternoon BBQ lunch tour, which is known for its delicious food. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful! I realized I had forgotten my video camera on the shuttle bus. What a shock! I had bought a compact video camera to capture this sea... In the early morning, I joined the Diamond Head sunrise tour. I guess I was a bit relaxed, and while searching for a shop near the boat departure point, I found none.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that waterproof cameras called "Utsurun desu" are sold on the boat... When I tried to buy one, I learned about a service that turns photos taken at the sand bar into a DVD. The sand bar is a famous spot for commercial filming. Hmm. The "Utsurun desu" camera costs $20, while the DVD shooting is $45... I thought about having a photo DVD made of me, my son, and my mother.

However, we had to pose properly... arms wide open, all three of us overlapping, and so on. Plus, I was bare-faced with messy hair... I thought the woman in a bikini taking our photos looked much more suited to the beautiful sea... but we went ahead with it. My son had a stiff expression the whole time. My mother looked great in the photos, and the photo spots were indeed well-chosen.

The finished photos turned out beautifully. However, having to pick them up at the office near DFS after 7 PM that day was a bit inconvenient. I wished there was a delivery service to the hotel.

After that, we went snorkeling. My son, who had been taking swimming lessons, of course participated. I also joined since I had gotten somewhat used to it at Hanauma Bay on the first day. However, the water was 20 meters deep. The distance was about 100 meters round trip, I think. It suddenly got deep from knee-deep water. Some women decided not to participate, fearing they might panic at that depth, but I can only swim about 25 meters. There were small children participating with their fathers, so it was okay. However, the visibility wasn't that great, and I could only see a few fish far below.

We saw several sea turtles from the boat on the way to the sand bar.

The BBQ lunch after snorkeling was delicious, just as I had expected. The kalbi meat was easy to eat, and we all commented on how tasty the salad was.

ツアーで一番人気の、このツアーＢＢＱランチが美味しいという評判の午後ツアーに参加してきました。
天気も良く、海も綺麗！送迎のバスの中でビデオカメラを忘れてきたことに気がつきました。ショック。この海を撮りたくて小型ビデオカメラを購入したのに・・・早朝、ダイアモンドヘッド日の出ツアーに参加。きっと、気が緩んでいたんでしょうねと思いつつ、ボートの発着所付近にショップはないか、捜しましたがありません。

スタッフの方に聞くと、「写るんです」の防水カメラはボート内で販売しているとか・・・購入しようとすると、このサンド・バーで写真をＤＶＤにしてくれるというサービスがあることを知りました。サンド・バーはＣＭ撮影で有名なスポット。う~ん。「写るんです」は２０ドル。ＤＶＤ撮影は４５ドル・・・いっそ、私と息子、母の３人を撮ってもらおうかと写真ＤＶＤをお願いしました。
しかし、ポーズをしっかりつけること・・・両手を広げて、三人重なって・・などなど。しかも、私はノーメイクで、髪はボサボサ・・・写真を撮ってくださるビキニの女性の方がよほど、この海の景色に似合いそうだ・・・などと思いつつ撮ってもらいました。息子は終始、かたい表情。母は、良い表情に撮れていましたし、写真を撮るスポットはさすがに、慣れているだけあって良かったです。

出来上がったものは、綺麗に撮れていました。
その日の１９時以降にＤＦＳの近くの事務所まで受け取りに行くのが、ちょっと。ホテルまで届けてくれるサービスなどあればと思いました。

その後はシュノーケリング。息子はスイミングを習っていたので、もちろん参加。私も初日のハナウマ湾で、やや慣れたので参加。けれど、水深２０メートル。距離は往復で１００メートル~だと思います。膝ほどの水深からいきなり、深くなります。
水深が２０メートルだと、途中でパニックになるかもしれないなどど参加をやめた女性もいましたが、私も２５メートルほどしか泳げません。小さな子供もお父さんと参加していたので、大丈夫です。ただし、透明度はそれほどではなく、魚もずっと下の方に少し見えるくらいでした。
海ガメは、サンド・バーに行く途上で何匹も船上から見えました。

シュノーケリングの後のＢＢＱランチは期待通り、美味しかったです。カルビ肉は食べやすく、サラダも味付けが美味しいねと皆で話していま

It was a trip to Hawaii for me, my son, and my 75-year-old mother. However, since my mother's legs were not in good condition before departure, my son and I participated in optional activities separately from her. She joined the submarine tour alone.

The transportation service was said to be kind and attentive. Since the explanation was in Japanese, it was easy to understand and enjoy. She was able to see turtles and many fish swimming.

Additionally, she noticed that Cessnas and boats were intentionally sunk in the fish tanks, where divers were seen diving. For small children, elderly people, or those who want to avoid getting sunburned at the sea, I recommend the submarine and similar activities. Since it's Hawaii, please make sure to see the fish swimming.

Those who have experienced snorkeling or sea walking might find it a bit lacking.

私と息子、母の三人のハワイ旅行でしたが、７５歳の母の脚の具合が出発前から、良くなかったので、私と息子、母とオプショナルを分けて参加しました。サブマリンは母が一人で参加。
送迎も親切で丁寧だったそうです。
日本語説明の時間帯だったので、わかりやすく楽しむことができました。亀や多くの魚が泳ぐ姿が見えたそうです。
また、セスナや船が魚たちの魚槽に、意図的に沈めてありダイバーたちが潜っているのも見えたそうです。
小さな子供やお年寄りの方、海で日に焼けたくない方は、潜水艦などがおすすめです。せっかくのハワイなので、是非、魚たちの泳ぐ姿を見てください。
シュノーケリングやシーウオークを体験された方は、少し物足りないかもしれません。

Our tour of the Missouri was great! The only drawback was that some of the upper decks were off limits due to construction. We really wanted to see the entire ship, but that didn't happen.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and offered some fantastic information!

You will definitely learn alot!

We participated in late March with three generations of our family. This is a unique experience that I can recommend to anyone who loves dolphins. The hotel shuttle service was smooth, and there were explanations in Japanese at the site, so there were no issues. However, during the actual dolphin session, only English was used. But I think it’s manageable since they communicate with gestures.

We joined the second session in the morning (11:00), but the water felt cold. It would be good to have a rash guard, and many children were shivering, so if you have someone who gets cold easily, bringing a long-sleeved jacket would be convenient to warm up after the session.

The facility is not large, so even small children can enjoy it. Everyone wears life jackets that fit their size, which is reassuring. However, children who are not used to seawater or dislike getting water on their faces may get upset and not enjoy the experience.

If there are observers, it’s possible to take photos from a distance. Our family had someone taking pictures, and they managed to capture some shots with a small digital camera at maximum zoom. There are also photos and DVDs available for purchase taken by the park's photographers. Honestly, they were very well taken, so I bought some, although not all. I also purchased one DVD and plan to make copies for our family.

３月下旬に親子三世代で参加しました。
こんな体験、なかなかできないのでイルカが好きな方にはオススメできます。
ホテルからの送迎も問題なくおこなわれ、現地でも日本語での説明がありましたので困ることはありませんでしたが、実際のイルカとのセッション中では英語のみです。でも身振り手振りで教えているので問題ないと思います。

午前中、2回目(11：00)に参加しましたが、水は冷たく感じました。ラッシュガードがあると良いですし、子供は震える子が沢山いたので、冷え性の方を含めて長袖の上着も持参された方が終わった後、しばらくは体を温められるので便利です。

大きな施設ではないので、小さなお子さんでも楽しめます。全員がサイズに合ったライフジャケットを着用するので安心です。ただ、海水に慣れていなかったり、顔に水がかかると嫌がるお子さんはぐずったりして参加しても楽しめないかもしれません。

見学する方がいれば遠くから写真を撮ることは可能です。我が家でも見学者が撮影していましたが、小型のデジカメで一番ズームをした状態でなんとか撮影できました。
パークのカメラマンが撮影してくれる写真とＤＶＤが販売されています。正直、すごくよく撮れているので全部ではありませんでしたが購入しました。ＤＶＤも１枚購入し、参加家族内でコピーしようとおもっています。

On March 21, 2011, I participated in this tour with my parents and my son (8 years old). It was cloudy in Waikiki, and there was a bit of rain on the mountain roads, so I was worried about the weather. However, when we arrived at the location, it wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent with some sunshine. Even in late March, the water temperature was still low. During this tour, we snorkeled twice at different points, but during the first snorkeling session, my son and the other children turned blue in the lips and were shivering. The adults, including myself, didn't feel as cold, but if children are going snorkeling at this time of year, a rash guard might not be warm enough. The snorkeling left a stronger impression than walking on the sandbar. Most of the staff were Japanese, so they kindly explained how to wear and use the snorkeling gear in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the first snorkeling session, we encountered a sea turtle. The colorful tropical fish and the sea turtle were truly moving. We boarded the cruiser, which took us to the snorkeling points, and even though the meals on board were light snacks, they were quite delicious. For the second snorkeling session, I was told that the current was a bit stronger than at the first point, but even as a beginner, I was able to snorkel without being swept away. This point had clearer water and a more beautiful sea. We didn't see any sea turtles here, but afterward, we returned to the boat for turtle watching. We discovered many sea turtles, and my parents, who didn't snorkel, also enjoyed it. All the staff were kind, and I would definitely recommend this tour.

２０１１年３月２１日にこのツアーに私の両親と私と息子（８歳）で参加しました。ワイキキでは曇りで途中山道でも雨がちらつき、天候が心配でしたが、現地に到着するとピーカンではありませんでしたが、日差しもぼちぼちの天候となりました。3月下旬でもやはり水温は低く、このツアーではポイントを変えて２回シュノーケルしたのですが、１度目のシュノーケルで、息子も含め他の子供達も唇が真っ青でぶるぶる震えるような感じになりました。私や他の大人の方々は、それほど寒さを感じませんでしたが、この時期のシュノーケルは、お子さんが行かれるのであれば、ラッシュガードでは寒いかもしれません。サンドバーのウォーキングよりは、シュノーケルが印象に残りました。スタッフは日本の方がほとんどでしたので、日本語で丁寧にシュノーケルの装着や使い方について説明してくださり、安心してシュノーケルができました。1度目のシュノーケル時にウミガメに遭遇しました。色とりどりの熱帯魚とウミガメ、それはもう感動的でした。クルーザーに乗り込み、ポイントまで連れていっていただいたのですが、船内での食事も軽食とはいえ、なかなかおいしかったです。２度目のシュノーケルは、最初のポイントよりやや潮の流れがあるとのことでしたが、初心者の私でも流されることなく安心してシュノーケルできました。こちらのポイントの方が透明度が高く美しい海でした。ここではウミガメには会えませんでしたが、その後船に戻りウミガメウォッチングをしました。
たくさんのウミガメを発見して、こちらはシュノーケルはしなかった私の両親も楽しんでいました。
スタッフのみなさんもどなたも親切ですし、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。

Travelled on a budget with my son to Oahu. Captain Bob's provided a great water adventure, including turtles, snorkeling and lunch. The excursion got us to the windward side of the island, allowing us to see more of Oahu. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This was a great experience we got to see the USS Missouri, The Pacific Aviation Museum, The USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Bowfin. Our driver Francis was very nice and took very good care of us. This would be a long day for children under the age of about ten, other than that it would be a great experience for anyone who is interested in Pearl Harbor as well as other interesting aspects of the US military.

I participated in the summer of 10 years ago. It was really early in the morning, but I was moved by the sunrise at the sandbar and enjoyed the sandbar walk. On top of that, I went snorkeling in a place with sea turtles and tropical fish. It was a tour filled with the best of Hawaii. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was outstanding.

１０年の夏に参加しました。朝メチャ早かったのですが、サンドバーでのサンライズに感動し、サンドバーウォークを楽しみました。おまけにウミガメや熱帯魚がいるところでシュノーケル。ハワイのいいところが詰まったツアーです。なによりスタッフのおもてなしが最高でした。

This was my second time participating. The last time I went, it was called Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. I thought maybe only the name had changed, but the facilities had also changed slightly.

This time, I attended with my 12-year-old son, and we had a great time. Previously, he was scared of the thrill rides, but at this age, he was able to enjoy all the attractions. There are also facilities for younger children, so even little kids can have plenty of fun.

I participated in a monitor tour, and I think the price with transportation included is unbelievably low! I don't think you would find this with other tour companies.

It was a bit chilly, and it was unfortunate that the Da Flowrider, which my child was most looking forward to, was closed. However, for this price, both of us were able to play a lot, and we were extremely satisfied.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely book not only Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii but also other optional tours through Alan1.net. I highly recommend it!

今回は二回目の参加です。以前行った時は、ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャーパークという名前でした。名前だけが変わったのかなと思ってましたが、施設も若干変わっていました。
今回は上の１２才の息子と二人での参加でしたが、かなり楽しめました。以前は絶叫系を怖がっていたので、やはりこのぐらいの年齢になるとすべてのアトラクションが楽しめるなと思いました。小さい子用の施設もあるので、もちろん小さい子供でも十分に楽しめます。
モニターツアーでの参加でしたが、送迎つきでこの値段はありえない安さだと思います！他のツアー会社ではまずないと思います。
肌寒むかった事と、子供が一番楽しみにしていたダ・フローライダーというサーフィンのシュミレーション施設がお休みだったのが残念でしたが、この値段で親子二人がたっぷり遊べ、大大満足です。
次回ハワイへ行くときも、ウエットアンドワイルドハワイはもちろんですが、他のオプショナルツアーも絶対にAlan1.netで申し込もうと思います。
お勧めです！！

After taking the bus to switch to the boat, we headed to the point where we could see sea turtles. After seeing the sea turtles, we were on the boat for about another 5 minutes to the sandbar. Unfortunately, due to the tide, we ended up walking in knee-deep water. It was said that if the tide was just right, we could walk on the sandbank. Well, I didn't mind being in knee-deep water, but many people were disappointed.

After that, we changed locations for snorkeling. This was amazing! You can encounter all sorts of fish! Since the snorkeling was in a coral reef at a depth where you can't touch the bottom, it might be a bit challenging for beginners...

After that, we had a hearty lunch. This was also excellent.

Overall, it was a packed tour.

Don't forget to bring tissue paper to the restroom at the dock where the boat returns.

迎えのバスから船に乗り換えてウミガメの見えるポイントへ
ウミガメを見たらまた5分ぐらい船に揺られてサンドバーへ。
あいにく潮の加減でひざまで水につかってのウオーキングでした。
潮の具合でうまくいけば砂洲を歩けるとのこと。
まあ、ひざまで水につかってても私は気にならなかったけど、残念に思っていた人たちは多かった。

その後、また少し場所を替えてｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞ。
これがすばらしい！
とにかくいろんな魚に逢える！
足のつかない深さのさんご礁のｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞなので、ｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞ初心者はちょっとハードかも・・・

それが終わるとボリュームたっぷりのランチ。
これも申し分なかったです。

とにかく盛りだくさんのツアーでした。

船が戻った桟橋のトイレにはティッシュをお忘れなく。

The long-awaited whale appeared right away (laughs), and after enjoying a leisurely view, I had a nice nap on the boat☆

念願のクジラはすぐ現れて（笑）ゆっくり眺めた後は、船上でゆっくりお昼寝をたのしませていただきました☆

We participated as a couple.
It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with clear skies, making it a great day for a cruise!

About 80% of the participants were Japanese, and 20% were from Western countries.

We took a bus to the boat, and after getting off, we were guided by the staff to our seats, so being towards the front allowed us to sit by the window.

The air conditioning on the boat was the strongest I experienced during my time in Hawaii, so it would have been nice to have something to wrap around me. However, you can help yourself to warm drinks.

Seeing whales depends on luck, but we were able to see them from a distance. Having seen them up close before, I wished we could have seen them a bit closer this time. But it was still exciting!

The meal was a buffet, and everything was delicious. However, the desserts were quite sweet, so I left some behind.

After the meal, we experienced making a lei. I had never done it before, so it was fun! You can take it home with you. The cost is included in the tour.

This was more than just whale watching; it was a really great cruise experience!

夫婦で参加しました。
雨季の時期でしたが快晴に恵まれ、クルーズをするにはとてもいい日でした！

参加者は日本人８割、欧米人２割といった感じです。

バスで船まで向かうのですが、バスを降りてからスタッフに連れられ船に向かうとそのまま順番に席に案内されるので、前のほうにいたおかげで窓側に座ることができました。

船内はハワイで過ごした中で１番冷房が効いていたので、はおるものがあればいいかなと。でも温かい飲み物をセルフで飲めます。

クジラはその日の運ですが、遠くで見ることができました。以前に近くで見たことがあるだけに、もう少し近くで見たかったです。でもやっぱり興奮します！

食事はバイキングで、どれもおいしかったです。ただスイーツはかなり甘いので、残してしまいました。

食事の後にレイの花輪づくりを体験しました。経験したことがなかったので、楽しかったです♪そのまま持ち帰れます。金額はツアーに入ってます。

今回はホエールウォッチングとしてより、クルーズとしてはすごくよかったです！

My wife and I went on this snorkeling cruise in late February, and it was the funnest part of our vacation on Oahu. Allthough there are many choices for snorkeling you could take while in Hawaii, and on Oahu, I really think this was good for the price. The crew, the lunch, and especially the place where we snorkled - Kaneohe Bay. Fantastic! The sandbar was fun, I think they should spend more time there, or incorporate another tour that would be just for those wanting to lounge around on the sandbar and have some drinks and food. We are glad that we went on this activity, and would do it again!

Within five minutes of departing, a whale appeared, and we were all so excited! At first, we could only see it from a distance, but eventually, the whale came closer, and cheers erupted all around the boat. It's also reasonably priced, so I highly recommend it!

出港して５分もしないうちにクジラが現れ、大興奮！
最初は遠くでしか見ることが出来ませんでしたが、最終的にはクジラから近づいて来てくれて、船のいたるところで歓声が上がっていました。
金額的にも手頃ですし、本当におすすめです！

We participated with 10 family members and friends.
We were able to see whales, of course!
The staff promptly informed us when the whales appeared.

There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, so they provided interesting and easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese.

In addition to the whales, our family participated in a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.
I also joined a ukulele lesson with my friends.

Additionally, they provided live music, which kept things engaging.

The food was better than I expected.

家族、友人と10名参加しました。
クジラはもちろん見れました！！
スタッフの方がクジラが出てきたら、すぐに教えてくださいます。

日本語が話せるスタッフもいらっしゃったので、日本語で面白くわかりやすく説明してくれました。

また、クジラ以外でも、フラダンスのレッスンに家族で参加し、とても盛り上がりました。
ウクレレレッスンにも友人と参加しました。

あと、生演奏もしてくれ、飽きさせないところが良いです。

食事も思ったより美味しかったです。

Having lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the '50s and never having visited any of the other islands, my sister and I were expecting to see something different and unique. This tour certainly filled the bill and was both those things - and more! Our tour guide - Patty -was very knowledgeable about local and island history and places of interest. She stopped at more than the expected stops and we had plenty of time at each one of them to take pictures, visit any shops that were there and generally get a feel for the place. The fact that we were a small group - just 8 of us on a mini-bus - was fantastic and we turned into a group of 6 after lunch after dropping one couple off back at their Kauai hotel.

It was wonderful to see the unspoilt beauty of Kauai, much as Oahu was when we knew it and before development spoiled it. We were so happy to hear that there has been a limit put on the number of stories hotels there can have, albeit after Marriott built their 8-storey one. At lea

The whale watching this time was very enjoyable.
We were able to see whales multiple times during the trip.
The staff kindly announced the direction where the whales could be seen, so we had no trouble spotting them.
They provided assistance in English, but they were also very thorough in Japanese.
Even during the times when we couldn't see any whales, we enjoyed the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea!

今回のホエールウォッチングは非常に楽しかったです。
乗船中クジラを何度も見ることができました。
係員の人がクジラの見える方向を丁寧にアナウンスしてくれたので苦労することなくクジラを見れました。
英語での対応はもちろんですが日本語をでの対応もかなりきちんとしてくれていました。
クジラが見えなった時間帯でもワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドの景色を海から楽しめました！

As soon as we got on the boat, there were over 50 dolphins waiting for us right there. The dolphins swam so slowly that we could swim alongside them at a distance that felt really close, and it was incredibly exciting! We could hear them well too! My middle school daughter, who is a beginner at snorkeling, said, "I definitely want to participate again!" The dolphins were just too cute! The dedication of the staff was also evident, and we had a truly enjoyable time! Thank you very much!

ボートに乗るとすぐそこに、
たくさんの50頭以上のイルカたちが待ってくれていました。
イルカたちがとてもゆっくり泳いでくれたので
本当に手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げて大興奮でした！
声もよく聞こえました！
ｼｭﾉｰｹﾙ初心者の中学生の娘も「絶対また参加したい！」と言っています！イルカたち可愛すぎます！
スタッフの皆さんの一生懸命さも伝わってきて
本当に楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

We went with a group of friends this past Saturday on the Early Bird cruise and it was fabulous! We saw whales pretty much the moment we left the harbor and we got lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded at all. The ship is very nice, very well maintained and clean. The crew was very friendly and helpful.

I recommend motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I am, and even though I took it beforehand I still got seasick.

We saw a pod of three whales, dolphins, and albatross. A very neat experience for us and the kids.

I participated in an early morning cruise. When it comes to the winter sea, it's all about whales. I was torn between a whale tour and this one, but I decided to take a chance on the winter sea and chose this tour.

Although it was a dolphin tour, we stopped at a point where we could see whales at the beginning of the cruise, and I was able to see my long-awaited whales. I was also satisfied to see a mother and baby whale!

Then, we encountered many dolphins, and just when I thought we found one, a group of a dozen dolphins appeared, which was so exciting! The snorkeling afterward was also great, as I saw a lot of fish.

I'm not a strong swimmer, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to snorkel with peace of mind. This time, there were three generations participating, from 0 to 71 years old, and my 3-year-old son enjoyed snorkeling, while my in-laws also had a great time on the cruise and snorkeling.

There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, which was reassuring. I couldn't eat lunch on the boat due to a bit of seasickness, but the staff kindly packaged it for me to take home. I ate it at the hotel after returning, and it was light and delicious.

早起きクルーズに参加しました。
冬の海といえばクジラ。クジラツアーと悩んだのですが、
冬の海に賭けて、こちらのツアーを選択しました。
イルカツアーでしたが、クルーズのはじめはクジラが見えるポイントへも寄ってくれて、念願のクジラを見ることができました。親子クジラにもあえて満足！
そして、本題のイルカにもたくさんあえました。１頭見つけたと思ったら十数頭のイルカの群が現れて大興奮！
その後のシュノーケリングもお魚がたくさんみえました。
私はカナヅチなのですが、ライフジャケットのお陰で安心してシュノーケリングできました。
今回三世代で０歳~７１歳の参加でしたが、３歳の息子もシュノーケリングを楽しみ、義両親もクルーズ＆シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
スタッフは日本語の堪能な方がいて安心できました。
昼食はちょっと船酔いのため船内で食べられなかったのですが、スタッフのかたが配慮くださり、お持ち帰り用にまとめてくださいました。帰宅後にホテルで食べたのですがあっさりしていて美味しかったです。

We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward

I finally got to meet the dolphins I had been dreaming about! I learned how to train them and took on the challenge. Amazing! Dolphins are so smart!

Even though I was just an amateur customer giving instructions, they followed along perfectly, and I was really impressed!

However, I almost missed out on the experience. I got passed over and had to protest in broken English to the white instructor before I could finally interact with them. It felt like I was being blamed for something, which was quite unpleasant.

All the explanations were in fast English, and she didn’t speak a word of broken Japanese. I managed to understand, but it was frustrating... Even though this is a tourist spot in Hawaii, I didn’t appreciate her refusal to use any Japanese. She didn’t smile at all.

I’m sure there are good instructors out there, but...

The staff's response rating is ☆☆ because of this experience.

In contrast, the Japanese female staff were extremely kind and saved the day.

It was mentioned that it’s better not to bring extra money, but they sell photos of you interacting with the dolphins for $16 each, so I recommend bringing some cash for that. The photos turn out so beautifully that you’ll want to buy them. You can take three poses per person. There are lockers available, but the showers are just old-fashioned water showers.

夢みていたイルカとご対面。調教の仕方を教わり、チャレンジ。凄い！イルカって頭がいいなぁ～
素人の客の指示なのに、ちゃんと動いてくれて感激！

でも、危うくやらせてもらえないところでした。抜かされてしまい、白人のインストラクターに拙い英語で抗議して、やっと触れ合うことができました。何だか私が悪いみたいな顔をされて、不愉快でした。
説明は全て早い英語で、片言の日本語も話しません。何とか理解したので良かったですが・・・ハワイの観光場所なのに、日本語を一切拒否するような彼女には好感がもてませんでした。笑顔がない人でした。
良いインストラクターもいるのでしょうが・・・

スタッフの対応評価が、☆☆　なのは、そのためです。

それに引き換え、日本人の女性スタッフは非常に親切で救われました。

余分なお金は持っていかない方が良いと書いてありましたが、イルカと触れ合っている写真が１枚１６ドルで販売するので、その分も持って行くことをお勧めします。余りにも綺麗に撮れているので買いたくなりますよ。一人３ポーズあります。　　一応、ロッカーはあります。　シャワーは、旧式の水シャワーのみです。
