All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The location is fantastic (you can see Kualoa Ranch, famous for movie shoots, in the background of the sandy beach!), and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. I definitely recommend using a waterproof camera to take plenty of memorable photos. One thing to note is that you will get sunburned, so please apply sunscreen generously in advance.

ロケーションは最高（砂浜のバックには、映画撮影でも有名なクアロア牧場が見えます！）、また、スタッフの皆さんのフレンドリーさも抜群でした。ぜひ、防水カメラを使って、思い出の写真をいっぱいとることをお勧めします。一点、注意点は、やはり日焼けしますので、日焼け止めはこれでもかという具合に事前に塗っておいてください。

I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.

The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.

According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.

We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...

The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!

サンドバーがどんなものかわからずの参加でしたが、
ただただキレイの一言でした。

早朝プランが人数足らず、おすすめになってしまったのですが良かったです。
理由は朝は寒さの覚悟が必要だから。

現地の人曰く、１０月過ぎは寒くなりあまりお勧めでないとのこと。

天気に恵まれたので幸いですが、
最近のハワイは雨続きなので、残念な天気の場合は覚悟が・・

青い空の下の澄んだ海は最高ですよ。

This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.

It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.

イルカツアーは２回目です。（１回目は他社）
イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが
楽しかったです。
船上でもスタッフがあれこれ楽しませてくれました。

ウエットの貸出や、トイレだけなのか着替えていいのか、女性スタッフの言葉が足りなかったのがちょっと残念。

It was my first time flying in a Cessna with another person, and I was very nervous, but the instructor was very kind, and it was fun. I want to ride again when I go to Hawaii. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so everyone should give it a try!

２人で初のセスナでとても緊張しましたが、教官の先生もとてもやさしくて、楽しかったです。また、ハワイに行った際にわ乗りたいです。一度の人生みんなチャレンジしてみてね。

I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.

At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.

I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much.

イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

ツアーの最後にフラダンスを教えてもらうのですが、
正直、初めはあまり乗り気じゃありませんでしたが、
踊ってみると意外にも楽しい！！
もう少しフラレッスン時間があってもよかったと思う位でした。

帰りの着替える時間があればよかったかな？と思いますが、全体的にとても満足のいくツアーでした。

ありがとうございました。

The malasadas for breakfast were delicious.

I was thrilled to see the dolphins up close! I also enjoyed my first experience with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

The hamburgers for lunch were tasty, and I had a fun day overall.

I highly recommend this Dolphin University!

朝食のマラサダ美味しかった。

イルカ先生も近くで見れて感激！　カヤックやスタンドアップ・パドルも初体験で楽しめました。

昼食のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。

このイルカ大学はめっちゃおすすめ！！

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.

Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.

After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.

I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!

夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ１００頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです！

I participated on January 22, 2010.
(I forgot to upload the photos, so I'm reposting.)

I chose this tour because the catamaran Navatek can go to areas where regular cruise ships cannot, minimizing the swaying and increasing the chances of observation.

Right after departure, there was an announcement saying, "You can observe whale spouts at 3 o'clock." I started to feel restless and couldn't leisurely enjoy my lunch anymore. So, I quickly went out to the deck.

Once a whale is spotted, the captain usually aligns the boat at 12 o'clock, making it very easy to observe. Since whales are protected, there is a rule that we cannot approach within 100 meters. However, it's okay if the whale approaches us, so we turn off the boat's engine to observe.

On this day, the whales were very active, and I was able to see a lot of tail slapping and fluking. Whenever I thought I saw a spout, they would do it. Also, they breached right in front of us just once. I was so excited!! They jumped out of the water completely, and the sound of the splashes was powerful and amazing. I was truly moved.
Thanks to this experience, I felt really glad to have participated!

On this day, there were 2 to 3 whales in the group that the Navatek was observing. I could also see spouts from the Star of Honolulu in the distance, so it seemed like there were really many whales in this area.

2010.1. 22に参加しました。
（写真をアップするのを忘れていたので、投稿し直しています。）

カタマランのナバテック号だったら、揺れが少なく、通常のクルーズ船では行けない海域まで行けるということで、観測率を上げるためにこのツアーを選びました。

出港してすぐに「３時の方向でクジラの潮吹きが観測できます~。」とのアナウンス。
私はソワソワしてきてしまって、のんきにランチをしているわけにはいかなくなりました。ということで、すぐにデッキに出ました。

クジラが見つかると、基本的には船長さんが１２時の方向に照準を合わせてくれるので、とても観測しやすいです。
クジラは保護されているので、１００ｍ以内に近づくことはできない決まりです。が、クジラの方から近づいてくるのはＯＫってことで、船のエンジンを切って観測する形になります。

この日はクジラがアクティブに動いていて、テイルスラップやフルーキングをする姿をたくさん見ることが出来ました。潮吹きしてるなぁって思うとやります。
それから、１回だけですが目の前でブリーチングまでしてくれました。もう大興奮です！！水面に全身を出して、豪快なジャンプ~~。水しぶきの音も迫力があって素晴らしかったです。すごく、感動しました。
お陰で、心から参加して良かったなと思いました！

なお、この日はナバテック号が照準を合わせていたクジラだけでも２~３頭の群れ。遠くにいるスターオブホノルルのところでも潮吹きが見えてたので、本当にたくさんのクジラがこの海域にいたようです。

I participated in the afternoon tour.

I joined with high expectations after reading everyone's experiences, and it did not disappoint! The staff were all kind, and their stories were interesting, making for a fun time.

It was a bit disappointing that the sea turtle "Noboru" (laughs) didn't show up much. Also, while snorkeling was enjoyable, the water temperature was too cold...

I was able to relax while enjoying delicious BBQ with a beautiful view of the ocean! Thank you very much. I will definitely join again when I come back to Hawaii!

午後のツアーに参加しました。

みなさんの体験談を読んで期待をして参加したのですが、期待通り！スタッフの方もみなさん親切で話も面白く、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

ウミガメの『のぼる(笑)』はあまり姿を見せなかったので、残念です。
あとシュノーケルは楽しかったけれども、水温が冷た過ぎました・・・。

キレイな海を見ながらおいしいＢＢＱ、リラックスできました！
ありがとうございました。
またハワイに来た時は参加させてもらいます♪

Even non-swimmers can feel safe with life jackets, and there were families with small children having a great time, so I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy. All participants were able to see dolphins, and I dove three times, getting to see several dolphins directly below me, which was a lot of fun. However, on the day I participated, the water was murky and visibility was poor, and I couldn't see any tropical fish because of the murkiness. I would like to try again on a day with clear water.

　泳げない人でもライフジャケットがあるので安心ですし、小さなお子様連れの家族もいてとても楽しそうで、どなたでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
　参加者全員がイルカを見れましたし、私は3回もぐって、1回は真下に数頭見れてとても楽しかったです。ただし、私の参加日は水が濁っていて見えにくかったのと、熱帯魚は濁っていたため、見れませんでした。
普段の透き通った水の日にもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

I had a really great time! I'm glad I went. I bought the photos taken at the pool! I also wanted a video, but I heard the machine was broken, so I couldn't purchase it. That was very disappointing.

本当に楽しかったです！
行ってよかった。
プールで撮ってもらった写真買いました！ビデオも欲しかったのですが機械が壊れてしまったそうで購入できませんでした。
それだけがとても残念でした。

I was moved by the color of the ocean! Also, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but since they lend you a life jacket, I felt safe and enjoyed it. I was able to spot a sea turtle from the boat, so it feels like something good is going to happen. This time, my husband and I participated, but I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy, whether it's with family or friends.

海の色に感動でした！また、初めてのシュノ-ケリングも不安でしたが、ライフジャケットを貸してもらえるので安心して楽しめます。ウミガメも船からだけど見つけることができたので、なんだかいいことがありそうです。今回は夫婦２人での参加でしたが、家族でも友達同士でも、みんなが楽しめるツアーだと思います。

My friends and I love thrill rides, so we had a great time. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in long lines for our turn. The wave pool, in particular, had intense waves that were scary at first, but once we got used to it, we had so much fun that we could have stayed there forever.

私も友達も絶叫系が大好きなので、とても楽しめました。
あまり並ばずに順番が回ってきたので良かったです。
特に波の出るプールは激しい波で最初は怖かったですが、慣れてくるとずっといても飽きないほど楽しかったです。

I was really looking forward to the Heaven's Sea Tour and participated in it.

I chose the afternoon tour, but the water level was high, reaching chest level in some areas, so I couldn't take my camera into the sea, which was a bit disappointing.

It was early October, and it was a bit cloudy, so the water temperature was low. I wanted to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, I couldn't...

The BBQ meat was delicious.

This tour might be better in the morning.

天国の海ツアーは、とても楽しみにして参加しました。

午後からのツアーを選択しましたが、水位が上がっていて多いところで胸位まであり、カメラを持って海へ入る事ができず、少し残念でした。

10月初めでしたが、少し曇っていたこともあり、水温が低く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが残念しました。。。

BBQのお肉は美味しかったです。

このツアーは午前がおススメなのかもしれません。

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

The entertainment on this dinner cruise was exceptional; there is so much culture, talent, and professional attention to detail! I really appreciate how dedicated the dancers and musician were to their crafts!

The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas, but it was very beautiful, and my two-year-old son was delighted to go into the sea. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made it a very memorable activity for my son.

サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらいの高さでしたが、とてもキレイで２歳の息子も喜んで海に入っておりました。
海がめも見ることができ、息子にはとても思い出深いアクティビティになったようです。

I thought the price was a bit high, but I had a great time playing with the dolphins. If you're going to do it, the Dolphin Royal Swim is the way to go. The fun is on another level.
I watched it once at a different time, so even without Japanese, I understood.

少し値段が高いと思っていましたが、イルカと遊んで楽しかった。せっかくやるならドルフィン・ロイヤルスイムですね。楽しさがちがいます。
　時間をずらして一度見てからやったので、日本語無しでも、分かりましたよ。

I was glad to see wild dolphins. I was also surprised by how beautiful the ocean was. My child didn't like snorkeling because it was uncomfortable, but when we used regular pool goggles without fins, they were able to swim happily.

野生のイルカが見れて良かったです。海がきれいなのもビックリ。子供はシュノーケリングが息苦しいと嫌がったが、普段のプールのゴーグルで足ひれも無しにしたら元気に泳げました。

This is my second time! Two years ago, when I visited for my daughter's wedding in Hawaii, we chose a beach close to heaven as a family and relatives' memory. The beautiful cobalt blue sea, sea turtles, and coral reefs from that time are etched in my mind as precious memories. The DVD that captures those memories never gets boring, no matter how many times I watch it.

This time, it was a trip just for my wife and me. We quickly made a net reservation for the heavenly... and participated in the afternoon session on October 12. I also joined the snorkeling, which I couldn't do last time due to an injury on my eyelid, and enjoyed the coral reefs and beautiful schools of fish, as well as a delicious BBQ. The staff's response was also very pleasant!

I travel to Hawaii every year, and I would like to walk on the sandbar again next year.

今年で二度目！
一昨年、娘のハワイ結婚式で訪れたとき、家族・親族の思い出として、天国に近い海を選択し、あの時のコバルトブルーの美しい海・海ガメ・サンゴ焦は、とても貴重な思い出として瞼に焼き付いております。その思い出を凝縮したＤＶＤは
何度見ても飽きません。
今回は、家内と二人旅でしたが、天国の・・・は早々とnet予約し、１０／１２の午後の部に参加、前回は瞼の上の怪我
で出来なかったシュノーケリングにも参加し、サンゴ焦・綺麗な魚群を堪能し、ＢＢＱも美味しく戴きました。
スタッフの対応も気持ち良かったですよ！
毎年ハワイ旅行しており、来年も又サンドバーを歩いてみたいと思ってます。

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.

The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.

The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.

When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!

ワイキキから船で沖へ行き潜水艦に乗換え。

ワイキキの海は波があり、潜水艦までの船で船酔いをしました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを。

海の中はとても綺麗で、泳げない(ダイビングが出来ない)方にはお勧めです。
私達は運が良く、ウミガメ、サメを見る事が出来ました。
澄んだ綺麗な海の中を見れたので、良かったです。

潜水艦が水中から上がって来る時、沈む時、
かっこよかったです。必見！

Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...

When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.

We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.

If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.

正直、泳げないし、海(水)が苦手。
参加する前から｢行きたくない｣と思っていました。
しかし、船に乗り、先に進むにつれて、
見た事の無い景色がドンドン目に入って来ました。
カメラを構える余裕もなく・・・

サンドバーに着き、水の中へ。
水深は深い所で男性の腰辺り。浅い所で膝辺り。
水は底が目で確認できるほど。
こんなの見た事ない！怖くても水に入りたい！
泳げなくても、しっかりとガイドの方(日本人のお姉さん＆現地のお姉さん)が見ていてくれる。

その場でシュノーケルをするのですが、少し水深のある所で、サンゴ、魚などを見る事が出来ます。
泳げない私は深くなる手前でシュノーケルしました。

オワフ島へ行くのなら、ワイキキもいい所ですが、
一度はサンドバーに行く事をお勧めします。

Great way to start our Vacation, a surprise Lei at the airport from a friendly local.....aloha and Mohalo

While our flight was delayed, we were still presented with the most beautiful Hawaiian Leis as soon as we arrived! Recommended to everyone to make them feel "part of the islands" as soon as you step off the plane!

The Lei was stunning....I would really suggest this for anyone...my other hald wasstunned literally to see his name up on a board and wishing him a Happy Birthday as well upon arrival right out of the gate....then the delight to be walked to the baggae pick up area and pointed in the right direction to the car rentals...when you have never been there before these little things mean the most....thanks for the memories...we'll never forget the hospitality !!!! Mahola !!!!

When I booked this trip I had researched many other companies and chose this one as it concentrated on Pearl Harbor offerring a full day comprehensive tour of this amazing site .
The tour exceeded our expectations, with Wes our informed and humorous bus driver and the amazing guides at various parts of the Pearl Harbor site all contributing to a very positive experience at this awesome harbor. It is an awe inspiring experience to stand at the place where the war commenced for the USA with the horrible loss of precious lives ,and even more spine tingling, standing at the exact spot where the treaty to end the war took place. The experience was enhanced by amazing informative guides and I would strongly recommend this particular tour for anyone going to Pearl Harbor.

I went on a summer limited Sunrise Tour! Exploring the beautiful sandbar and experiencing the sunrise in Hawaii is a rare opportunity, and since the plan has you returning in the morning (even though it's before dawn), I think it's a great way to make the most of your day! In our case, we had a schedule to leave Hawaii that afternoon, so we decided on it right away★ After returning to the hotel, we were quite rushed though.. lol

On the day of the tour, it seems there were very few waves, one of the calmest days of the year, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness, but it was quite cold~《>_<》A large bath towel provided by the hotel is a must. The snorkeling, which I was looking forward to, was unfortunately a bit disappointing due to low underwater visibility. There were some fish, but not many. By the way, it's fine for those who can't swim since life jackets are provided. However, as expected, if you want to go deeper on your own, you can't dive. lol

After that, we all searched for sea turtles from the boat, and they popped their heads up quite a bit and swam very close, which was really fun.

The views of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch were wonderful, but it was a bit cold for the season, and the snorkeling experience was somewhat disappointing. The staff were very friendly, and they took photos for us, plus the warm breakfast was delicious☆

夏限定！サンライズツアーに行ってきました！
綺麗なサンドバー散策もハワイでのサンライズもめったにできない経験だし、朝イチ（と言っても明け方前です）の集合から午前中には帰ってくるプランなので、１日を有意義に使えると思います！私達の場合は特にその日のお昼にハワイを発つスケジュールだったので即決でした★　ホテル帰着後かなり焦ることになりましたが・・ｗ

当日は波が１年でも１，２を争うくらい無い日だったらしく、船酔いの心配は無かったのですが、いかんせん寒かった~《>_<》ホテルで貸し出してくれる大きなバスタオル必須です。
期待のシュノーケルは、意外と水中の透明度が低くて残念でした。魚もいるにはいるんですが多くないかな。　ちなみにライフジャケット着用のため、泳げない人でも大丈夫です。一方当然ですが深いところへ自主的に行こうと思っても潜れませんでしたｗ
その後、船上よりみんなで海亀を探しますが、ぽこぽこ海面へ顔を出してくれるし、すごく近くを泳いだりするのでとても面白かったです。

クアロア牧場の山々も望め、景色はすばらしかったのですが、時期的に寒かったのとシュノーケリングが少し残念な感じでした。
スタッフはとても親切で写真も撮ってもらえるし、温かい朝食はおいしく頂けました☆

It was truly a place overflowing with nature and nothing else. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit chilly on the day we visited, and the tide wasn't low, but we were able to see turtles swimming along the way, and the staff were kind. Thank you, Hana.

I was looking forward to snorkeling, but I heard it was in a very deep area, so as someone who can't swim, I immediately gave up. (laughs)

Since lunch was included, I enjoyed that instead. The guava juice was refreshing and I recommend it. There was also grilled meat, chicken, salad, and fruit, all of which were delicious.

We had lunch on the boat, and a fish came up to the boat asking for food, which was really cute.

I went on September 30, and I was surprised to find that the weather in Hawaii can change quickly. I had the image of it being sunny all the time, but it rained quite a bit, and we even saw a rainbow. Thank you!

本当に何もない自然にあふれた場所でした。
当日は潮がひいてない時間で、くもりがちで、肌寒かったのが残念でしたが、途中で泳ぐカメさんも、見ることが出来、スタッフの方も親切でした。ハナさん、ありがとう。
　シュノーケリング楽しみにしていたんですが、ものすごく深い場所でやるときき、泳げない私は即、断念。（笑）
　ランチつきだったので、そちらの方で楽しませて、いただきました。グワバジュースが、サッパリしていて、おススメ。
焼肉やら、チキン、サラダ、フルーツもあり、おいしかったです。
ボートでの昼食でしたが、そのボートに１匹の魚がよって来て
エサをねだるのが、かわいかったですよ。
９月30日に行ったのですがハワイの天気も変わりやすく、
ずーっと、天気で、晴れ！のイメージがあったのですが、
雨が、まとまって降り虹も見れ、雨もけっこう、降ったりするのねえと意外な驚きでした。　
　ありがとう！
　
　

My son and daughter-in-law were celebrating their 28th Anniversary and I gave them this Sunset Dinner Cruise as a gift. They loved it - said food was great and the view of the sunset was awesome. They were able to get lots of beautiful pictures for their album. I would recommend this cruise for everyone. I regret not doing it for my husband and myself since we also were celebrating our 55th anniversary but I didn't want to intrude on their time.

This is my third time at the pool, and I enjoy it every time. It's not crowded like pools in Japan, and I can slide down the slides pretty quickly, so there's no stress. The kids are also thrilled! My oldest child has reached a height of 137 centimeters this year, so they were able to go on all the slides, which made them very happy. I definitely want to go again next time!

3回目のプールなのですが、毎回楽しんでます。日本のプールの様に混んでいないし、結構すぐにスライダーも滑れるのでストレスがありません。子供たちも大喜びです！一番上の子供が今年は身長137センチになっていたので、すべてのスライダーに乗る事が出来たので、とても喜んでいました(*^^)v
また次も是非行きたいです。
