All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.

The water is so different over on this snorkel tour, and they pick up from hotel!

Bring your family, all ages have a wonderful time, and there is plenty of different food choices!

We loved our agent for setting this up ahead of time for us!! MAHALO

The night was ran very smooth. Don't be fooled by its connection to a waterpark as we were worried of the authenticity, but they blew us away!

The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!

Oahu had some serious crystal clear waters! Warm, sunny day of fun with my family- unbeatable.

Since I was staying in Ko Olina, I went by rental car instead of using the shuttle plan. I paid the parking fee in cash at the entrance, and when I headed back to the entrance after parking, a Japanese staff member greeted me. They provided a thorough explanation of the park and how to use the lockers, which was very helpful. I was able to ride the slides without much waiting, but it was disappointing that some attractions were not operating. On weekdays, the park closed at 3 PM, so it felt like it closed in no time.

コオリナに宿泊していたので、送迎プランではなくレンタカーで行きました。
駐車場の入り口で代金を現金で支払い、駐車後に入口へ向かうと、日本人スタッフの方が声をかけてくれました。一通りの園内の説明やロッカーの利用方法も教えてもらえて助かりました。スライダーはほぼ並ぶことなく乗ることが出来ますが、一部運行していないアトラクションもあり残念でした。平日は１５時までだったので、あっという間に閉園になってしまいました。

I participated in a tour that gathered on-site. The ticket exchange was clearly explained and went smoothly.

Some of the thrilling slides were closed at times, possibly due to a lack of staff. I was disappointed that the lazy river, which I was looking forward to, was closed all day. The closing time was a bit early, so I couldn't fully enjoy my time there. However, the fact that we could play without waiting too much made the kids very happy.

While it wasn't a day filled with endless fun, I enjoyed the relatively quick access to slides similar to those at Yomiuri Land's pool in a relaxed atmosphere.

現地集合のツアーでの参加でした。
チケット交換なども分かりやすく説明してあり、スムースでした。

絶叫スライダーなどは人不足なのか、時間によりお休みしているものもありました。楽しみにしていた流れるプールも終日休みでがっかりでした。
終了時間が早めなので、満喫！と言うところまではいきませんでした。
ただ、あまり並ばずに遊べたのは子供も大喜びでした。

1日たくさん遊んで大満足！と言うほどではありませんが、のんびりとしたなか、読売ランドのプールのようなスライダーを比較的サクサクと楽しめたのはよかったです。

Very friendly staffs and pick up from Waikīkī hotel is included in this price!
We saw at least 3 huge turtles! Happy!

Hayato, the Japanese guide, rode with us on the shuttle bus and provided explanations on the way to the port. The photographer was a foreigner, but he tried to communicate using a translation device and was very kind. The boat was double-decker, with foreigners on the first floor and Japanese on the second. There were two Japanese guides on the second floor to assist us. It was quite rocky, and some people felt sick, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. Children from the age of five can swim, but they need to jump off the boat one by one with fins and snorkel sets, so it might be scary unless the child is very adventurous.

Unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were able to see them from the boat. (There are areas where swimming with them is not allowed.) In the snorkeling area, we saw turtles, so we could swim with them.

On the return bus, I tried to get off in front of the hotel, but the door closed right in front of me, and in the end, we had to stop at the hotel one more time to drop us off. The driver didn't speak Japanese and seemed hard of hearing, so I recommend that those who are not confident in their English sit in the front seats to get off quickly.

日本人ガイドのハヤトさんが送迎のバスから一緒に乗ってくださって、港にいくまでの間に説明をしてくれました。カメラマンさんは外国の方でしたが、翻訳機能を使って意思疎通をしようとしてくれて、とても良い方でした。二階建ての船でしたが、外国の方が１階、日本人は2階で振り分けられていました。2階には日本人ガイドさんが２人いてサポートしてくださいました。結構揺れて気持ち悪くなってる方がいたので酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。５歳からスイムも可能となっていますが、船から一人ずつフィンとシュノーケルセットをつけて飛び降りる必要があるので、よほど冒険心のあるお子さんでないと怖いのではないかなと思いました。
私たちが参加した日は残念ながらイルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったのですが、船の上からイルカを見ることはできました。（エリアによって一緒に泳げないエリアがあります。）またシュノーケルエリアでは亀がいたので、亀と一緒に泳ぐことはできました。
帰りのバスでホテル前で降りようとしましたが、目の前で扉を閉められてしまい、結局最後にもう一度ホテルに寄って降ろしてもらいました。運転手さんは日本語が話せない方で耳も遠い感じだったので、英語に自信のない方は前方の席に座って素早く降りることをおすすめします。

Although the weak yen has resulted in considerable expenses, since I was going to board anyway, I booked a 5-star experience with fireworks on Friday and a course meal.

From the moment I boarded, I was guided to a special floor via the elevator, and the dinner set was nicely arranged at my seat, creating an excellent atmosphere.

Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and after the luxurious meal, there was a dinner show, followed by the fireworks viewed from the ship, which were breathtaking. Everyone moved to the side where the fireworks could be seen, making the boat feel like it was tilting a bit (laughs).

It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the 5-star experience!

円安でかなりの出費にはなりますが、どうせ乗船するなら、金曜日の花火付きで、コース料理も食べられる5スターを予約しました。

乗船する時から、エレベーターでの特別フロアへのご案内、席にはディナーセットがきちんと用意され、雰囲気も抜群。

サンセットはもちろんのこと、豪華なお食事の後はディナーショー、そして船上から見る花火は、圧巻でした。みんな花火が見える方に移動するので、気持ち船が傾いているような(笑)

ハワイ観光の良い思い出になりました。
5スター、おすすめです！

I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)

I was really grateful that I could cancel until 5:00 PM the day before because my child was unwell. I rescheduled for another day, and when I arrived, I was asked, "Is this Mr./Ms. 〇〇?" and given my tickets, which was quite smooth. I plan to purchase from here again next time.

There is a baggage check at the entrance. Inflatable rings are not allowed, but you can rent them. You can also freely use life jackets, but there were no sizes that were too small. I brought my own arm rings.

The wave pool was stronger than anything in Japan, and both adults and children had a lot of fun. The height restrictions for the slides were quite lenient. I was clearly 1 cm short, but they didn't measure closely, so I was able to enjoy myself.

It mostly had a family-friendly atmosphere, and there are areas where small children can have fun.

The parking fee is $20, but card payments are accepted.

子供が体調を崩し、前日の17:00までならキャンセルできたのが本当にありがたかったです。そして別日にリベンジしましたが、窓口でその日は日本人の予約が少なかったのか「〇〇さん？」と聞かれチケットを渡されました。かなりスムーズでした。次回もこちらから購入しようと思います。

入口で手荷物検査あります。浮き輪持ち込みNGですが貸してもらえます。また、ライフジャケットも自由に使えますが小さすぎるサイズはなかったです。アームリングは持参しました。

波のプールは日本にはないほどの強さで大人も子供もとても楽しめました。スライダーの身長制限は甘々でした。明らかに1cmは足りなかったのですが細かく測られることもなく、楽しむことができました。

ほとんどがファミリーな印象でした。小さい子が楽しめるエリアもあります。

駐車場代は20ドルかかりますがカードOKでした。

The crew was excellent so friendly and so helpful. We had so much fun at the sand bar lunch was great. The snorkling was also a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this experience. Really enjoyed the movie trivia that our host shared with us on our way back to the dock. Thank you for a great time!

We gathered in front of the hotel early in the morning (5:45 AM) and watched the sunrise until our reservation time for Hanauma Bay (6:30 AM). This activity does not require a reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, but you need to purchase tickets on-site, and you have to wait in line until it's time. I felt that time was a bit wasted, but I guess that's what you get for a cheap tour. One participant in the same tour kindly purchased tickets for everyone at the counter. Of course, we all lined up together.

If the tour included the ticket price, I suppose there wouldn't be any need to wait in line? I saw some people entering without waiting. Since everything was explained in English, there were some things I didn't understand. I heard there are lockers available, but I think it's better to take valuables to the beach. Someone needs to keep an eye on the bags. The snorkeling gear was cheap, and it was hard to breathe underwater. Some people mentioned it broke halfway through. The driver said if we called, he would help us... in English.

If you want to participate in the tour efficiently and with peace of mind, I think it's better to join a Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour guided by Japanese staff, even if it's a bit more expensive.

朝早くから(5時45分)ホテル前集合で、ハナウマ湾の予約時間(6時30分)まで朝日が昇るのを見てました。
このアクティビティーは、ハナウマ湾入場予約は不要なのだけど、現地でチケット購入しないといけないく、時間になるまでならんで待っていないとダメでした。
その時間がもったいなかったかな？安いツアーだからしょうがないです。
同じツアー参加者の一人が全員分のチケットをまとめて窓口で購入してくれました。もちろん全員同じかたまってならんでました。

チケット代金も入ったツアーならたぶんこの並ぶ　ということはないのかな？並ばないで入ってる人もいたので。
全部英語で説明させるのでわからないこともありました。ロッカーあるとのこと、でもビーチに貴重品はもっていった方がいいと思います。誰か一人荷物番が必要です。
シュノーケルも安物か海のなかで息がしづらいです。
途中で切れたという人もいました。電話してくれれば…と、ドライバーはいってました。英語です。
効率よく、安心してツアーに参加したいのであれば、少し高くても日本人スタッフが案内してくれるハナウマ湾シュノーケルに参加した方がいいと思います。

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles and fish. Also, it was reassuring to hear explanations in Japanese. It was a wonderful experience! I will participate again!

サンドバーはものすごくきれいで、ウミガメやお魚を見ることができました。また、日本語での説明を聞けるので安心です。すてきな体験ができました！また参加します！

We were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly until the meeting time of 12:30 thanks to the early morning pickup. Timely service is great!
For meals, only before going down to the beach, card payments are accepted. The BIG hot dog was $11, and we were able to share it between two people. The fish is larger and there are many more varieties compared to before the pandemic!

早朝ピックアップで早く到着の為、集合12：30までたっぷり楽しめました。時間通りの対応が、良い！
食事は、海岸に降りる手前のみ、カード飲み対応です。BIG ホットドック、11ドル、二人でシェアできました。コロナ前より、魚が大きくて、種類も沢山！

You can encounter a landscape that is completely different from Waikiki. It's surprising that it has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Please go and discover the Hawaii you don't know!

ワイキキとはまるで違う風景に出会えます。
ジュラシックパークを撮影したりたくさんの映画のロケ地になっていることにもビックリ！
知らないハワイに会いに行ってください！

It was a beautiful evening on the ocean. The sunset was hidden behind clouds but you could see the rays from the sun peaking thru. The food was flavorful and an abundance of it. With a tremendous variety to choose from.

At Dolphin Exploration, you can experience performing arts together with dolphins in a swimming pool while wearing life jackets. My 8 and 10-year-old daughters, who have just started to put their faces in the water and dive a little at the community pool this year, enjoyed themselves without fear, thanks to the life jackets, even though they couldn't touch the bottom. It became a wonderful memory of interacting with the dolphins. Participants in the Dolphin Encounter were also experiencing in the same pool, standing on an underwater platform at the edge of the pool (about adult waist-deep) to see the performances up close. I think the grandparents who came with us enjoyed watching their grandchildren's joyful expressions from the covered spectator seats. In another area, feeding the sea turtles was a rare treat, and the children were delighted. Since the number of feedings was limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, we bought some in advance and enjoyed feeding after the dolphin experience. The air conditioning on the bus to and from the venue was a bit too strong, so having a blanket would have been nice.

ドルフィン・エキスパローションでは、ライフジャケットを着てイルカが泳ぐプールの中で芸を一緒に体験できます。市民プールで今年から顔をつけて少しだけ潜れるようになった8歳と10歳の娘も、ライフジャケットがあるので足がつかなくても怖がらず楽しめました。イルカと十分に触れ合えた良い思い出になりました。ドルフィン・エンカウターの参加者が同じプールで体験されていましたが、そちらはプールの縁にある水中桟橋（大人の腰ぐらいの深さ）に立って目の前で芸を体験していました。一緒に行った祖父母も屋根のある観客席で孫の喜ぶ姿を見学できて楽しめたと思います。他のコーナーでは、海亀の餌やりが珍しく、子供たちは喜んでいました。餌の数が先着で数に限りがあるので先に買っておいて、イルカ体験が終わってから餌やりを楽しみました。行き帰りのバスのクーラーが効きすぎているので、毛布があっても良いぐらいでした。

I participated with a friend in Hawaii for the first time. We had a great time floating on the surfboards and sometimes challenging ourselves with stand-up surfing. I enjoyed my time in Hawaii after four years. Thank you, and I will participate again.

初めてのHawaiiの友人と参加しました。サーフィンボードにぷかぷか乗って、時にはスタンドアップサーフィンに挑戦して楽しい最高の時間が共有出来、四年ぶりのHawaii時間を楽しみました。ありがとうございますまた、参加します。

I participated in weather that was sunny with occasional clouds. Since the weather was relatively nice, I dreamed of seeing the sandbar I had seen in photos, but in reality, the sea was murky with low transparency due to the sand... However, I was able to go snorkeling in an area with lots of sea turtles, and the crew members were very kind. The service of spam onigiri and snacks was also greatly appreciated.

晴れときどき曇のような天気で参加。天気がわりと良かったため、写真で見ていたサンドバーを見れると夢みて参加したのですが、実際には砂で濁って透明度の低い海でした。。。
ただ、ウミガメがいっぱいいるところをシュノーケリングできたり、クルーの方々も非常に優しく、スパムおにぎりやお菓子のサービスなどは非常に有難かったです。

I booked for the early morning time slot in late August. The shuttle bus was fine for everyone to wear light clothing, like swimsuits and rash guards. After arriving at the boat, we moved a little further to reach the sandbar, where we first had a short snorkeling session for those who wanted to participate. We were able to see turtles.

After that, we had free time to walk around or rent things like stand-up paddleboards, and everyone enjoyed taking photos. On the boat, each person received one spam onigiri, and there were no limits on potato chips and various cold and hot drinks, which we could eat and drink at our leisure.

Since it was a bit cloudy that day, the sea temperature was low, and my body felt cold, so the cocoa was really delicious and appreciated. I think the sea varies depending on the weather and time, but honestly, Waikiki Beach is prettier. However, the staff were all nice and fun, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

8月下旬朝イチの時間帯で申し込みました。
送迎のバスはみんな水着にラッシュガードを羽織った感じの軽装で大丈夫です。
船場に到着してからまた少し移動して、サンドバーに到着してからまずは希望者のみで少しの距離をシュノーケリング。亀が見れました。
その後は自由時間で歩くのも良し、SAPなどを借りてやるのも良しという感じで、みんな写真を撮りながら楽しみました。
船には一人一個スパムおにぎりと、個数制限なしのポテトチップスや冷たい飲み物、暖かい飲み物が色々用意されており、好きなタイミングで食べ飲みできます。
この日は少し曇り気味だったこともあり海の温度が低く、身体が冷えていたためココアなどがすごく美味しくありがたかったです。
海は天候や時間によると思いますが写真のような感じではなく、正直ワイキキビーチの方が綺麗だな〜という感じでした。
でも、スタッフの皆さん良い人で面白くて、全体的にすごく楽しかったので是非一度経験されることをおすすめします！

I participated in late March. As the title suggests, I wasn't able to see any whales, but the cruise ship was very nice, and it was a valuable experience to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. I was offered a coupon due to not seeing any whales, but since my stay in Hawaii was short, I declined. If I had been able to see whales, it would definitely have been a five-star experience.

3月下旬に参加しました。タイトルのとおり、クジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、クルーズ船はとても良かったですし、船からワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを見ることができたのは貴重な経験でした。クジラを見ることができなかったことで、クーポンをいただく提案も受けましたが、ハワイの滞在は短かったので、お断りしました。
もしクジラを見ることが出来たら、間違いなく☆5つです。

Me and my family LOVED this tour. For the price you pay you get A LOT of BEAUTIFUL VIEWS and excellent service from the staff. I like that the beach is keeping as a secret and is not crowded at all. Also, the activities are phenomenal

Best tour ever! Veronica went above and beyond with the tour! Very outgoing and nice! The attention throughout the visit was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back

I thought the island would rise up and I could walk on it, but the water is up to my chest. There are many more tropical fish for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. There is only one Japanese interpreter, and they are not on the boat. For a tour that costs that much, this is disappointing. It's better not to have high expectations.

島️が浮き上がって、歩けるのかと思いきや、胸くらいまで水がある。シュノーケルもハナウマ湾のほうが熱帯魚はたくさんいます。日本語通訳は一人だけで船上はいません。あれだけの金額のツアーでこれ？って感じです。あまり期待しないほうがいいです。

When I arrived at the restaurant at the reserved time, I was shown to my seat. Since cars were passing right next to the outdoor seating, I asked to be moved to an indoor table. I was informed that I could change the menu for an additional fee, so I switched my pasta to porcini risotto. The balsamic sauce felt a bit too strong and sweet. The meat was cooked well, but I thought it was a bit too salty. It seemed like they were trying to turn tables within an hour, which created a somewhat unsettling atmosphere.

予約の時間に店に着くと、席に案内されました。外の席ですぐ横をを車が通るので、中の席に替えてもらいました。追加料金でメニューを変更出来るとの事で、パスタをポルチーニリゾットに変更。
少しバルサミコソースが強く甘く感じました。肉は焼き具合は良かったのですが、塩が効き過ぎと、思いました。一時間で回転させてる様で、少し落ち着けない雰囲気でした。

The friendly service and, of course, the taste were at a high level. I added $25 to the pre-reserved menu to change the pasta to risotto. Additionally, I added another $25 to have foie gras on top of the steak. The flavors from the appetizer to the dessert exceeded my expectations. If I go to Hawaii again, I would like to repeat this experience.

フレンドリーなサービスも、もちろん味もハイレベルでした。
事前に予約していたメニューに$25プラスしてパスタをリゾットに。
さらにもう＄25プラスして、ステーキの上にフォアグラを載せていただきました。前菜からデザートまで期待以上のお味でした。
またハワイへ行くことがあれば、リピートしたいと思います。
