All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was the rainy season, but we were blessed with wonderful weather and had a fantastic experience. We were able to swim close to dolphins and sea turtles, which was an incredibly moving time for us. The staff were all very friendly and their service was excellent.

However, the staff's strong desire for everyone to see the dolphins was a bit overwhelming at times. They would say things like, "I found one! Come this way!" and everyone would rush over. Then another staff member would call out, "Come over here!" and again everyone would go that way... It was quite tiring! ^^; Haha.

Thanks to that, we encountered many dolphins, but I think it might be better to find a favorite staff member and stick with them. Overall, I believe it was a great tour. If you have the chance, I highly recommend participating!

雨季でしたが、とてもすばらしい天気に恵まれ素敵な体験をすることができました。イルカや、海ガメを間近に泳ぐことができ、とても感動できる時間を過ごすことができました。
スタッフの皆様もとてもフレンドリーで、対応もすばらしいです。
ただし、スタッフの皆さんの絶対にイルカを見て欲しい気持ち→私見つけた→こっち来てーーー！！→みんなそっち行く。→違うスタッフさん。こっちきてーーー！→みんなそっち行く。。。→これは、結構疲れました＾＾；笑
おかげでたくさんイルカと遭遇することができましたが・・・。
誰かお気に入りのスタッフさんを見つけて、その人にずっとついているのも良いかと思いました。
とても良いツアーだと思います。機会があれば参加してみてはいかがでしょうか？

I participated in whale watching. Right from the start, I could see splashes of water in the distance. I thought it was a motorboat, but the foreigner next to me was pointing and saying something. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a whale's breath. Amazing!!

We soon got closer, and I could see the whale's back. Wow, we met one!! I was so moved. For a while, the boat stayed there. Eventually, it started heading towards Diamond Head. Just as we were about to turn back, a whale swam up from the opposite side. Two of them were gracefully swimming together, right next to the boat!! It was so touching!!! Then the boat made a U-turn and followed the whales for a while. I was so happy!!

However, time was running out, and we had to head back. I was really impressed! I'm so glad I participated!!!

ウォエールウォッチングに参加しました。
スタートからすぐに沖のほうから水しぶきが見えました。
モーターボートが走っていると思っていたら、隣の外人が指をさして何か言っています。よーく見ると、クジラのブレスでした。すごーい！！
すぐにちかくになり、クジラの背中がみえてきました。
すごーい、会えた！！大感激です。
しばらく、そこで船は待っててくれます。やがてダイヤモンドヘッドに向かって走り始めました。
そろそろ引き返したとき、クジラが反対側からおよいできました。２頭のつがいで優雅に泳いでゆきます。船のすぐ横を！！感動です！！！そしたら船はUターンして、しばらくクジラを追ってくれました。嬉しい！！
しかし、時間がなくなり戻ることとなりました。
とても感激しましたよ！
参加してよかったです！！！

This was my fourth time whale watching. I got hooked on my first participation when I saw a whale jump, and now I join whale watching every time I go to Hawaii. The last three times, I only saw the back or nothing at all, which was a bit disappointing, but seeing that jump is the best. Since they are wild animals, it can't be helped. This time, I went on an early cruise without a meal, but I was able to participate very cheaply thanks to booking online, so that was great.

今回で、４回目ほどのウォッチングでした。
はじめての参加で、クジラがジャンプする姿を見てはまってしまい、ハワイに行くたびにホエールウォッチングに参加しています。後３回は、見えなかったり、背だけとかで、寂しい思いをしますが、あのジャンプが見えたら最高です。自然の生き物ですから、仕方がないです。
今回は、早めのクルーズで、食事なしでしたが、インターネットでの申込みをしてからの旅行で、とても安く参加する事が出来たので、良かったです。

Everyone should experience this tour sometime during their life. The memorial is a tragic, yet holy and beautiful tribute to our fallen military who died so suddenly on Dec. 7, 1941.

The tour operator was very informative and treated everyone like family. The downtown tour was full of history and tidbits shared by our driver, "Cousin Jerry", a full blooded older Hawaiian gentleman.

Until the day before, the weather on Oahu was not looking good, and I was very anxious, but it turned sunny with the tour pickup.
I was worried about the temperature and water temperature since I had a 7-year-old child with me, but both were warmer than I expected, and I didn't feel particularly cold. For those who are concerned, I think a surf top would be sufficient.
The sandbar was a truly beautiful place. I felt that seeing it in person was worth more than hearing about it a hundred times. Additionally, snorkeling near the coral after visiting the sandbar was also a delightful experience.
I appreciated the captain's playful service as well.

前日まで、オアフ島の天候も思わしくなく非常に不安でしたが、ツアーのピックアップと共に晴天になりました。
　子ども（７歳）がいたので気温と水温が心配でしたが、思ったよりも気温、水温とも温かく特に寒いと感じることはありませんでした。心配な方は、サーフィン用のタッパーがあれば十分と思います。
　サンドバーは、とても素敵な場所でした。一見は百聞にしかずとはこのことと感じました。また、サンドバー見学に続いての珊瑚付近でのシュノーケルもまた一興でした。
　キャプテンの茶目っ気たっぷりのサービスもありがたかったです。

While I was moved by seeing the whale's blow and its back and tail for the first time, I didn't get to witness breaching or experience the true size of the whale. The timing in late December might not have been ideal. It might be better to go from late February after they give birth. If you're prone to seasickness, it's better to skip lunch. My wife ended up not eating anything. I think about 10-20% of the people couldn't eat. The buffet itself didn't have much in terms of food either.

初めて見たクジラのブロー（潮吹き）や、クジラの背中や尻尾には感動をしたものの、ブリーチング（ジャンプ）等は見られず、クジラの大きさを体感できるものではなかった。
１２月下旬という時期がいまいちだったかもしれないかな。子供を産んでからの２月下旬からがお勧めかも。。
船に弱い方は、ランチ無しにした方がいいですよ。うちの奥さんは結局何も食べられなかった。１~２割くらいの人が食事できていなかったのではないかなぁ。ブッフェ自体の料理もそうたいした物は無かったですよ。

Last year, the tour was in the morning, and this time it was in the afternoon. Although it was a different company's tour, there wasn't much difference in content. Perhaps because it was the same season, even though they advertised that the boat would dock in the most favorable position, I felt that the distance from the boat to the sandbar was quite far, and the water level was higher than last year. The lunch was quite good, and the malasadas were delicious. The staff worked hard to keep everyone excited and raised their energy levels, but personally, I would have preferred a quieter, more relaxed experience. The photos taken at the sandbar that were uploaded to the website were a bit embarrassing, but I was still happy about it.

昨年は午前中、今回は午後のツアー。前回とは違う会社のツアーで、殆ど内容の違いはなかったのですが、時期が同じというのもあるのでしょうが、一番優遇されている位置にボートが停泊するとうたっていた割には、ボートからサンドバーまでの距離が遠かったように思いましたし、昨年よりも水位が高かったです。ランチの内容はかなりGOODです。マラサダも美味しかったです。スタッフのみなさんは、みんなを盛り上げようと、かなりテンション上げて頑張っていましたが、私的には、もう少し静かに、ゆったりと過ごしたかったな--。サンドバーで順番に撮っていただいた写真がHPにアップされていたのは、少々恥ずかしいけど、やっぱり嬉しいです。

My husband and I spent our last night in Honolulu on the Star of Honolulu's Three Star Cruise and it is one of our fondest memories. The crew was great, the view incredible, and the food was top notch. Watching the sun set from the top of the Star of Honolulu was an incredible treat! Thank you and I cannot wait to go again!

It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication based on the information I gathered beforehand. Thanks to that, despite feeling unwell, I was able to forget the discomfort and enjoy myself.

The $10 wet gear rental was also a big plus. Considering the temperature difference when getting out of the water in December, I can't imagine doing it without that.

From a large family including grandparents to just two mothers and children, couples, and friends, various generations became "classmates," which made me wonder how it would go, but the "class representative" did a great job of bringing everyone together.

On the boat, you could really feel the crew, led by the captain, working together to ensure everyone had a good time, and their attention to safety left a great impression.

And of course, the dolphins and turtles made an appearance, which was incredibly exciting. Since they are wild, it was just a fleeting moment, but then a whale even showed off its spout and tail! That might have been the most thrilling part, haha. The professional photographer captured every scene, and even though it was pricey, I ended up buying the CD and DVD set. Considering I couldn't take those photos myself, it felt reasonable.

I also can't forget how delicious the cheeseburger we received on the way back was (though I was only able to eat half due to feeling unwell, which was a shame).

Honestly, I thought it was a bit pricey compared to other tours, but if you're looking to enjoy yourself without worries, I highly recommend this tour. By the way, the dolphin university bag we received at the end was very useful as a souvenir bag when returning home.

あらかじめ仕入れた情報で酔い止めを飲んでおいて正解でした。おかげで体調不良にも関わらず、つらさを忘れて楽しむことができました。
ウェット１０ドルの貸し出しがあったのも大きかった。12月の海はもちろん、水から上がったときの温度差を思うとこれ無しは考えられなかった。
おじいちゃんおばあちゃんを含む大家族から、母子２人、カップルやお友達同士など様々な世代が「同級生」となり、どうかな~とちょっと思ったけれど、「学級委員長」が上手にまとめておられました。
船の上では、キャプテン以下皆さんが一丸となって楽しませよう！とする姿勢がビシビシと感じられて、さらに安全に対するケアもちゃんとされていて好印象。
そして肝心のイルカ先生もカメ先生も登場して、大興奮でした。野生なのでまぁ一瞬なのですが…。さらにはクジラ先生まで潮吹きと尻尾を披露！！これが実は一番興奮したかも＞笑。写真はプロの方がどのシーンも押さえており、高いながらもCDとDVDのセットを買っちゃいました。自分で撮れないことを思えばリーズナブル☆
さらに帰りにいただいたチーズバーガーの美味しかったのが忘れられません（といいつつ体調不良で半分が限界だったのが残念）。
他のツアーに比べて値が張るな~と正直思いつつも、アレコレ安心して楽しむならオススメのツアーです。
ちなみに最後にいただいたイルカ大学のバッグ、帰国時にはお土産用のかばんとして大活躍しました。

The shaking was really intense, and it was tough. Also, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales.

There are staff members who can explain in Japanese, but they don't translate the other explanations, which I thought was a bit unfriendly, especially since over 60% of the tourists were Japanese. (It might be understandable since it's a foreign country, though.)

たまたまなのか揺れがすごくて大変でした。
また、クジラは見えず、がっかりでした。

日本語で説明してくれるスタッフはいるのですが、
その他の説明部分を翻訳してくれるわけでもなく、
６割以上が日本人観光客であるにもかかわらずちょっと不親切かな、と思いました。
（外国なので仕方がないのかもしれませんが）

We participated as a couple.

At first, since it was empty, I was worried, thinking, "Is this place okay?!" But in the end, it turned out to be just the right amount of crowded, and we had a great time! It lasted from around 10 AM to 2 PM, which was enough to enjoy everything. (There might be busier days, though...)

The most fun parts were the wave pool, Tornado, and Shaka. On other slides, we ended up sharing boats with foreign visitors, which naturally led to some nice little interactions.

I was worried because my partner can't swim and is not good with roller coasters, but it was reassuring to know that life jackets are available for free for those who can't swim (though some activities may not allow them). Unlike roller coasters, the slides only move by the natural force of gravity, which made my partner feel safe, and they enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

If I could wish for something, it would be for longer slides.

My sunburn hurts, but we made great memories!

カップルで参加してきました。

空いていたので、最初は、「ここ大丈夫か！？」と心配になりましたが、結果的には丁度良い混み具合になり、楽しかったです！
１０時から１４時くらいまででしたが、十分に遊びきれます。（もっと混雑する日もあるかもしれませんが・・・）

特に楽しかったのは、波のプールとトルネードとシャカです。他のスライダー等では、外国の方とボートが一緒になったりして、自然とちょっとしたコミュニケーションがとれたのもGOODでした。

相方が、「泳げない＆ジェットコースターが苦手」なので心配していましたが、？泳げない人でも無料でライフジャケットがレンタル可能（使えないアクティビティあり）？ジェットコースターの乗り物と違って、スライダーは自然の力（重力）で動くだけ、という２点で安心できたようで、相方も存分に楽しんでいました。

欲を言えば、もっと長いスライダーがあればよかったかなぁと。

日焼けが痛いけど、良い思い出ができました！

I booked this for couple on their arrival to Oahu and was worried being it was done on the internet that they would not receive their lei. BUT.... Was extremely excited when I received word that they had got their greeting and that it made their arrival so special. Not only did they get amazing help and support at the airport, but they got to keep the personalized sign!! We are so thrilled that we are booking another greeting for another couple that are going over!!!

*** Their plane even arrived 55 min late and the greeter was ready and waiting for them at the gate!!!

Amazing! Thanks for making it memorable!

I participated in the morning plan of the whale tour that started on the 15th. Since it was the first day, I thought we might not see any whales, but we were able to see them five times! One of those times was a close-up jump. During the times we didn't see any whales, the staff continuously engaged with us, taking photos and making us feel very welcomed. I thought the morning plan was great because the air is clear and cool, allowing us to focus on searching for whales.

15日から始まるホエールツアーの午前プランに参加しました。初日なので見れないのではと思っていたのですが、5回も鯨を見ることができました！うち一回は至近距離でのジャンピングです。
見れない時間、スタッフの人が次々と声をかけてくださり写真を撮ってくださったりとても温かみを感じました。
午前プランですと、空気も澄んでいて涼しいですし、鯨探しに集中できるのでいいなと思いました。

I scheduled a lei greeting for my mom and she was absolutely surprised and excited to have such a unique greeting to the island. The greeter who "leied" her was extremely friendly and helpful. The silk lei was really beautiful and will be a wonderful memento. I am going to suggest this activity to all my friends and will probably book another greeting for our next visitors. Thank you so much!

I participated on December 2nd. The weather was nice, but it was a bit cold with strong winds, so I ended up retiring from swimming partway through.

The pool attractions were really unique, and it was my first time on a thrilling water slide! I had a lot of fun!! However, I was a bit disappointed that the staff seemed low-energy and weren't smiling, which made the atmosphere feel a bit dull...

I thought it might be more enjoyable with a large group having fun together.

12月2日に参加しました。
天気はよかったのですが風が強くちょっと寒くて
途中から泳ぐのをリタイヤしちゃいました。

プールのアトラクションはすごい珍しいのもばかりで
絶叫プールは初めて☆
楽しかったです！！
ただ、スタッフの人たちがテンションが低くて、
顔も笑っていないのでちょっとしらけた感じがしたのが
残念・・・。

やはり大人数でワイワイはしゃぎながらの方が楽しいのかな~と思いました。

I had a great time playing and got really tired with a system unique to overseas (laughs).

There were no regular swimming pools at all, just a ton of attraction slides (lol).

We had to carry the tubes from the bottom and slide down ourselves (lol).

Among them, the 'Shaka' slide goes straight down (lol).

I was able to forget my age and have fun (lol).

I recommend bringing towels from the hotel.

The locals on the wave machine (?) were really good and seemed to be having a lot of fun (lol).

海外ならではのシステムでしっかり遊び、しっかり疲れました（笑）

普通に泳げるプールは一切無く、ひたすらアトラクションスライダー目白押しｗ

自分達で下からチューブを担いで滑り降りてくるのですｗ

中でも’シャカ’というのは真下に急降下ですｗ

年を忘れて遊ぶことが出来ましたｗ

ホテルからのタオルを持って行く事をお勧めします

波乗りマシーン（？）のロコ達はとても上手で楽しそうでしたｗ

I participated on December 3, 2010. The meeting place was mentioned in the email as "the entrance of the Hyatt Regency," but I wasn't quite sure where that was. It would be helpful if you could attach a map.

Well, I was picked up safely and arrived at the location, but since it was a weekday, the park was less crowded than I had imagined, and it had a relaxed, local vibe.

My child is in elementary school and isn't fond of extreme attractions, so we mainly enjoyed the Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool, Keiki Cove, and Kapolei Cooler (which opened at 12:30).

It was sunny, but the wind was strong, making it feel quite a bit colder. Depending on the season, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt.

I chose not to include meals, but the hamburgers and pizza we had at the food court were decent. Since it felt cold, we ended up spending a lot of time warming up, but just watching the FlowRider was quite enjoyable.

So, unlike others, we were able to enjoy a pretty relaxed atmosphere.

２０１０年１２月３日の参加です。
メールで集合場所が「ハイアットリージェンシーの入り口」ということでしたが、今一よくわかりませんでした。地図を添付して頂けると助かります。
さて無事にピックアップされ現地へ到着したのですが、平日ということもあってか、想像していたよりも園内は空いており、ローカル系の、のんびりムードでした。
子供は小学生ですが過激系？のものが苦手で、ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・ウェーブ・プール 、ケイキ・コーブ、カポレイ・クーラー（１２：３０からでしたが）を主に利用しました。
快晴でしたが、風が強く、体感温度がかなり低く感じました。時期にもよるでしょうが、長袖を一枚持っていくことをお勧めします。
食事なしを選択したのですが、フードコートで食べたハンバーガー、ピザもそこそこでした。
寒く感じたことで、体を温めている時間が長くなってしまったのですが、ダ・フローライダーを見ているだけでも結構楽しめます。
ということで、他の方とは違い、結構のんびりムードで楽しめました。

I participated with my two children, and before signing up, I read experiences from others who said that it was enough without meals, so we opted for entry with transportation only. The kids loved the wave pool and kept saying they wanted to play there all day! Choosing not to include meals was definitely the right decision. When the wave pool turned into a bodyboarding lesson, we had hot dogs and pizza for lunch, which was just the right amount for the three of us. We also went to the lazy river, but it might be boring without tubes. I previously visited a similar water park in Saipan, but this one was so much more fun, and above all, the water was clean! It has become a place I want to visit again next time.

子ども２人と参加しましたが、申し込みをする前に体験談を読んで食事なしで十分！という方がいたので、送迎付きの入場のみにしました。
子どもは波のプールが気に入ってしまい、ずっと遊んでいたい！と言うので食事なしで大正解。
波のプールがボディボードのレッスンになった時にホットドッグとピザで昼ご飯にしましたが、３人でちょうど良い量でした。　
流れるプールにも行きましたが、チューブがないとつまらないかも。
以前サイパンで同じようなウォーターパークに行きましたが、比べものにならないほどに楽しかったし、何よりも水がキレイでした！
次回も訪れたい場所になりました。

This was my first time visiting Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. Unlike pools in Japan, there are many attractions, and I was very satisfied that I could enjoy myself all day long. It's great for couples, friends, and especially for families since there are plenty of attractions for kids as well.

Personally, I recommend the Tornado and Shaka for thrill rides. Your body floats in the air for a moment before rushing down the slide. You have to carry the inner tubes to the entrance yourself, which can be quite physically demanding, especially for women.

The wait times for each attraction are relatively short, so you can ride smoothly. Just be aware that the attractions switch every 30 minutes, so keep that in mind.

In conclusion, I had a great time overall, and I encourage everyone to give it a try. I would love to go back again.

今回初めてウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイへ参加しました。日本のプールなどと違って、たくさんのアトラクションがあり、一日中楽しむことができて、大変満足です。カップルでいってもよし、友達同士でいってもよし、なんといっても、子ども用のアトラクションもたくさんあり、家族で行くのも最高だと思いました。
私個人のお勧めとしては、絶叫系としてはトルネード、シャカがよかったです。体が一瞬宙に浮き、一気に下流へ駆け抜けていきます。
浮き輪を自分で入口まで運ばないといけないので結構体力を使います。女性だけだと大変かもしれません。
一つのアトラクションに乗るのに、待ち時間は少なく、スムーズに乗ることができると思います。ただ３０分ごとに入場できるアトラクションが切り替わるので注意が必要です。
最後になりますが、全体的にとても楽しめたので、みなさんもぜひ参加してみてください。また行ってみたいと思いました。

I thought that I might only see dolphins from a distance, but they came right up close enough to touch! I highly recommend this for those who are snorkeling for the first time or visiting Hawaii for the first time! My family was also visiting Hawaii and traveling abroad for the first time, and at first, we were a bit nervous, but all the staff were so kind that by the time we left, everyone was smiling. It was great to hear my family say, "Thank you for choosing this tour!" at the end!

イルカが本当に見れるのか、見れてもちょっと遠目からなんだと思っていましたが、手が届きそうなところまでイルカが来てくれました！
シュノーケリングが初めて、ハワイが初めての方にぜひおすすめだと思います！
私のファミリーもハワイ初めて、海外初めてで、最初は緊張気味だったのですが、スタッフの方がみんな優しくて帰る頃には皆にこにこの笑顔でした。最後にファミリーに「このツアーを選んでくれてありがとう」と言ってもらえたのが良かったです！

November in Hawaii is the rainy season, but it was sunny on the day of our visit!

It wasn't too early in the morning, and for a light breakfast, we enjoyed malasadas from Leonard's. The freshly fried donuts were delicious.

At first, we headed north by boat, but it turned out there were no dolphins, so we returned south. I was a bit anxious thinking we might not see any, but the professionals had the latest dolphin information, and when we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, everyone was thrilled.

Once we got into the water, it took a little while to get the hang of it, and I couldn't see them well at first, but I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyuu-kyuu," which indicated they were nearby. Once I got used to it, they came close, and it was incredibly moving to swim right beside them. There were baby dolphins too!

We saw a type of dolphin called the spinner dolphin, and it was true that they spin even in the wild. I witnessed them spinning a couple of times.

The water was a bit cold, so I rented a wetsuit for my upper body for $10. If you're worried about the cold, I definitely recommend renting one; it also helps with buoyancy.

I also had fun trying stand-up paddle surfing, which I had personally wanted to do.

I was so captivated by the dolphins that I didn't have much time to relax while snorkeling. I think the original plan was to swim with dolphins in the north and snorkel (to see sea turtles) in the south. However, we did catch a glimpse of a sea turtle from the boat on the way back. We also saw a seal come close to the boat, and it was adorable!

In diving, we encounter sea turtles almost every time, but for dolphins, you really have to search for them. I'm grateful to Dolphin University for their professional dolphin search.

The staff were also very friendly, and we had a fun and comfortable time on the boat. I definitely want to go again next time!

11月のハワイは雨期ですが、当日は晴れ！

朝も恐ろしいほど早くはなく、軽い朝ごはんに、「レナーズ」のマラサダをいただけます。
揚げたてドーナツは美味しいです。

最初、ノースのほうへ船を向けていましたが、イルカがいないことが判明し、南に戻りました。これは、会えないのかも。。と少し不安になりましたが、そこはプロ。イルカ情報が入り、船上からイルカの背びれが見えたらみんな大興奮でした。

海に入ってしばらくは要領を得ずに、うまく見られませんでしたが、イルカの鳴き声が「キュウーキュウー」と聞こえてきて近くにいることがわかりました。慣れてきたら、近くにやってきたのでしっかりそばを泳げてすごく感動的でした。子イルカもいましたよ！

あと、ハシナガイルカという種類で、野生でもスピンをするっていう話があったのですが本当でした。2度ほど、クルクルクルっとスピンするのを見られました。

少し水が冷たいので10ドルで上半身のウェットスーツを借りました。冷たいとテンションが下がるので、心配な人は絶対借りたほうがいいです。浮力も上がります。

あと個人的にやってみたかったスタンドアップパドルサーフィンも体験できて楽しかったです。

イルカに夢中でシュノーケリングはあんまりゆっくりする時間はありませんでした。たぶん、当初の予定では、ノースでイルカスイム、南でシュノーケリング（ウミガメ見る）だったのかなと思います。でも帰りの船の中から一瞬ウミガメも見られましたね。あと、アザラシも船に近付いてきて見られました。かわいかった~

ダイビングでは、ウミガメはほぼ毎回遭遇しますが、イルカは、やはり探さないと見つからないと思います。イルカ大学さんのプロのイルカ捜索に感謝です。

あと、スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーで、船の上でもずっと楽しく居心地のいい時間を過ごせました。
また次回も行きたいなぁと思います！

During my trip to Hawaii for New Year's, I went on a whale watching tour with the Star of Honolulu. I thought it would be great because even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy it as a regular cruise. We did see a mother and baby whale in the distance, but it was disappointing that we couldn't see them up close or witness any jumps. However, I understand that they keep their distance for whale protection. On the boat, there was a lei-making class, which was fun. It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

お正月にハワイに行った時に
スターオブホノルル号のホエールウォッチングに
行きました。
もしクジラが見られなくてもリベンジできるという
ことと普通のクルーズとして楽しめるからと
思ったからです。
クジラは親子クジラが遠くに見えました
あまり近くで見れなかったりジャンプ等は見れなかったので残念ですが、クジラ保護のため
あまり近寄らないとのこと。
船内ではレイ作りのスクールがあったりして楽しかった。酔い止めの薬は飲んでおいた方がいいです

We used this for our honeymoon.

We participated on November 26, and the weather was partly cloudy and colder than we expected, which was a bit disappointing, but aside from that, we were very satisfied. All the guides were cheerful and great people. It was reassuring to have a Japanese guide, haha.

By the way, we were lucky enough to see turtles about six times before arriving at the sandbar!

今回はハネムーンで利用させて頂きました。

１１月２６日に参加しましたが、お天気が晴れ時々曇りといった感じで思っていたよりも寒く、その点が少し残念でしたが、それ以外は大変満足です。ガイドさんもみんな明るくいい人ばかりでした。日本人のガイドさんがいるのでホッとします 笑

ちなみにサンドバーへ到着するまでに運良くカメに６回程会えましたよ♪

The sandbar was really beautiful!! I definitely think you should go! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing. I thought there would only be English-speaking staff, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt reassured.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was moved by how many beautiful fish I saw. Also, it was great that we had time to practice in a shallow area where we could stand before going into the deeper water. After getting out of the sea, it was quite cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or something to cover your body.

サンドバーは本当にきれいでした！！絶対行くべきだと思います！
ウミガメも至近距離で見れたりして、最高でした。英語スタッフばかりかと思いきや、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいたので安心でした。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、きれいな魚がたくさん見れて感動でした。あと、サンドバーの足がつく浅い場所で事前に練習する時間があったのでよかったです。海から上がったあと、結構寒いので大きめのバスタオルなど、体を覆えるものを持っていくといいと思います。

I thought it would be perfect to participate since my grandchildren (6 and 3 years old) have a turtle at home and are interested in fish. As expected, the children were thrilled and excited about the various fish and sea turtles.

I'm glad I participated.

孫（6歳、3歳）が、自宅で亀を飼っていることと、魚などに興味があったので、ぴったりと思い参加しました。予想通り子供たちは様々な魚やウミガメに大喜びで興奮していました。

参加して良かったと思います。

I participated for the first time when I went to Hawaii during Golden Week.

The weather was a bit cloudy.
However, I had checked the low tide times perfectly.

Surprisingly, the sandbar was much more exposed than the images suggested.
It was somewhat disappointing...
It was unexpected.

I thought it was nice to have space for two chairs.

Basically, this activity can be tough if the weather isn't good.
When the surrounding sea is cloudy, it looks dark, and it's hard to encounter sea turtles.

But I thought the food on the boat was delicious.
Also, I was happy to receive Leonard's malasadas, which I hadn't planned to eat.

Next time, I want to avoid going during the rainy season or after low tide.

GWにハワイへ行った際、初参加しました。

天気はちょっと曇り気味。
でも干潮の時間も調べてばっちりだったんです。

なんと、サンドバーは写真のイメージと違って、思いっきり出てたんです。
なんともありがたみの少ないことで・・・
想定外でした。

チェアーが二つ乗るくらいってのがいいもんだなと思いました。

基本的には天気が良くないとしんどいアクティビティーですね。
周りの海も曇りだとなんだか黒っぽいし、ウミガメも遭遇しづらいし。

でも船の上のご飯は美味しかったと思います。
あとは、レナーズのマラサダを配ってもらえたので食べる予定のなかった私には嬉しかったです。

次はまた、雨季や干潮過ぎる日にちは外して行きたいと思います。

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide/bus driver, Garfield, was amusing and extremely knowledgeable. The bus was very comfortable.

We recommend this excursion to anyone interested in seeing the WWII sites at Pearl Harbor as well as the Punchbowl Cemetery.

It was my first time participating in Heaven's Sea!!
Unfortunately, the weather was quite cold that day, but the staff were very kind, and I had a great time!
I did get stung by a jellyfish right at the end, but thanks to them applying medicine right away, there were no lasting effects♪

Next time I participate, I want to go when it's warm... haha.

天国の海初参加でした！！
この日はあいにくの天気でとても寒かったですが
スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しめました！
また最後の最後にくらげにかまれてしまいましたが
すぐに薬を塗ってくれたおかげで
後も残りませんでした♪

次回参加する際には、あったかーいときに行きたいです・・・笑

This is definitely something for a first-timer to hawaii. Its probably not something i will do again, but definitely enjoyable for my first visit! flowers were beautiful, and the lady was very nice and walked us to our baggage claim and helped us with our rental.

The food wasn't as good as i expected, but i think you are mainly paying for the cruise. the mai tais were great! steak could have been cooked a little more. i dont like crab, but my boyfriend loved it! this is def a great activity for a little romance for couples for a nice evening.
