All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I participated in the 9:00 tour on October 27! Since I was with my elderly parents this time and we couldn't dive, we decided to take a submarine to see the underwater world easily. The shuttle boat to the submarine was quite rocky, but when we went out on deck, the blue sea was beautiful! It was fun to see a pod of dolphins jumping alongside us (unfortunately, they didn't show up in the photos...). My mother, who is sensitive to motion, looked a bit unwell at first, but she felt better with the wind blowing on her, and she enjoyed watching the dolphins.

The view from the submarine had more sand than I expected, making it look murky. I heard there are no natural coral reefs, but there were planes and ships that have become homes for fish, and we could see fish, sea turtles, sharks, and even divers conducting research. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making for a pleasant experience. Inside the submarine, there was hardly any rocking, so my parents were fine. They enjoyed the deep blue world of the ocean.

１０／２７の９：００のツアーに参加してきました！
今回は高齢の両親連れのため、潜ることもできそうにないので、お手軽に海の中を見ようということで、潜水艦に乗ることにしました。
潜水艦へ行くまでのシャトルボートは結構揺れますが、甲板に出ていると、青い海がきれい！イルカの群れがジャンプしてついてきたりして楽しかったです☆（写真には残念ながら写ってないみたい・・）乗り物に弱い母は最初気分悪そうでしたが、外の風に吹かれているとマシだったそうで、イルカは喜んで見てました。
潜水艦からみた景色は思ったより砂が多くて濁っている感じ。天然のサンゴ礁はないそうですが、飛行機や船が魚のアパートになっていて、魚や海がめ、鮫、あと調査中のダイバーさんもみることができました。スタッフの方々もにこやかな対応で、気持ち良く過ごせました。潜水艦内はほとんど揺れは感じず、両親も大丈夫でしたよ。深海の青い世界を楽しんでました。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean.

However, the attractions are also fun!

You can "drop" from an incredible height of about four stories.

You can slide down a slide or ride a tube in complete darkness.

If you're looking for thrills, definitely check it out!

ハワイといえば海。

ですが、アトラクションも楽しい！

ビル４Ｆくらいの凄い高さから「落ちる」

スライダーや真っ暗闇をチューブに乗って滑り落ちたり。

スリルが欲しい人は是非！

staff very friendly & helpful, great surprise for anyone.

The views were awesome!!! Food was great!! No complaints!!!!

We ordered our Lei Greeting on the internet to surprize our first timers when they arrived in Hawaii. They were shocked to see someone standing there with a sign with their names on it. They had no idea we had ordered them. The girl that greeted us was as sweet and pleasant as anyone could have been, she presented the Lei's beautifully and made sure everyone was happy. She also told us which baggage area we should pick up or baggage and told us how to get there. We could'nt have asked for a more perfect way to start our Hawaiin vacation.

Our Lei Greeter was precious! Friendly, bubbly, sweet! What a nice extra touch upon visiting Hawaii for the first time!

The lei greeting was fantastic. The Hawaiian greeter was waiting for us and the lei's were beautiful.The Hawaiian greeter was very friendly and very helpful. He helped us with the ordering of the limousine and he kept us company until the limousine arrived. We arrived at about 8:30pm and he stayed with us till about 9:30pm when the limousine arrived.He took our picture with the lei's and the limousine in behind us.This was above and beyond our expectations.This was our first time in Hawaii and he made us feel very welcome. Him staying with us was great. We were worried that we would be left deserted at the airport,and he made sure this didn't happen. The fellow was interesting and his conversation was welcome.The lei greeting was a very nice experience.

I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!

We had a wonderful time. The food was great and the sunset breathtaking

It was an activity that both the children and we parents could enjoy together.

子供たちも私たち親も一緒になって楽しめるアクティビティーでした。

This time, I participated in Dolphin & You for the first time. The weather was decent, and after setting sail, I was able to see turtles and flying fish, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins. Since they are wild dolphins, I understand that this can happen. However, the staff's bright smiles and their efforts to create a lively atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, even though it was disappointing not to see dolphins. I left the boat vowing to try again next time. Next year, I will definitely see dolphins! I’m looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii even more.

今回、初めてドルフィン＆ユーに参加しました。
お天気もまあまあで、出航後カメや飛び魚には逢えましたが・・・残念ながらドルフィンには逢えませんでした。
野生のドルフィンですので、こんなこともあるかなとは思います。
しかし、スタッフの明るい笑顔や場を盛り上げる対応で、ドルフィンに逢えなかったことはすごく残念でしたが、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
次回、リベンジを誓い船を後にしました。
来年は絶対！ドルフィンに逢えますように!!!
また、ハワイに行く楽しみが増えました。

This time, our family of four (with a 4-year-old and a 1.5-year-old) participated. We were excited as we headed to Sea Life Park! For a while, my 4-year-old brother was scared and hesitant about the water. However, when a dolphin swam right in front of him and he got to touch it, his excitement skyrocketed, and he seemed to have a great time. My 1.5-year-old brother also managed to touch the dolphin while crying, feeling both surprised and happy.

Touching, kissing, and shaking hands with the dolphin was truly a wonderful memory.

The photos (shots with the dolphin) and DVDs sold in the park are quite expensive, but I thought they would be a nice keepsake, so I purchased photos and a DVD for all four of us. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but it was reassuring that we could see samples when purchasing it.

今回、家族4人（4歳と1歳半）の参加でした。
期待に胸を膨らませてｼｰﾗｲﾌﾊﾟｰｸに♪
参加してしばらくは水になれないで怖がっていた4歳の兄。
イルカが目の前を通って触れたことで一気にﾃﾝｼｮﾝがあがり、楽しそうにしてくれました。
1歳半の弟も泣きながらもイルカに触って驚き半分＆喜び半分と頑張ってくれました。

イルカに触って、キスして、握手できたのはほんといい記念になりました。

園内で販売している写真（イルカとのｼｮｯﾄ)＆ＤＶＤはお高いですが、記念になると思い、4人分の写真、ＤＶＤを購入しました。
まだＤＶＤは見てないですが、購入の際にサンプルを見れるので安心でした(^^)

I participated in a Japanese-language tour. Naturally, all the participants were Japanese, making it feel as if I were in Japan, but I was glad I chose a Japanese tour because I didn't miss any of the suddenly appearing fish. I was able to see many more fish than I expected, including sharks, rays, and sea turtles! I was torn between a premium tour and a regular one, but I had plenty of fun on the regular tour.

日本語の解説のツアーに参加しました。当然、参加者は日本人ばかりでまるで日本にいるかのようでしたが、突然現れる魚などを見逃すことがなく、日本語のツアーにしてよかったと思いました。
思っていた以上にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。サメやエイ、海がめも！
プレミアムか普通のツアーか迷いましたが、普通のツアーで十分に楽しめました。

Thank you.

The pools in Japan and the scale itself aren't that different, but everything is open, and you don't have to wait much to ride the slides. It's a spot you can enjoy no matter how many times you go.

日本のプールとスケール自体はそこまで変わらないがすべてが空いていてあまり待たなくてスライダーに乗れる。何回行っても楽しめるスポットです。

My spouse and I participated in this tour. When I asked my wife, "What do you want to do in Hawaii?" she replied, "I want to see dolphins!! I want to see sea turtles (honu)!!" So, we signed up for this tour.

My wife, who gets seasick easily, seemed a bit anxious, but we brought motion sickness medication from Japan, and once she took it, she was totally fine. (Even if you forget, no worries! Motion sickness medication is sold at the shop in Ko Olina Marina.) Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, we encountered dolphins! It was so healing. The dolphins, curious about everything, quickly approached us, jumping around and showing various expressions.

Next, we snorkeled and met honu and various colorful tropical fish... Four honu swam gracefully by. The fish came so close that we could almost touch them. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

After that, it was snack time. Everyone enjoyed their meals on the deck or wherever they liked. The kalua pig was delicious.

The boat had a cabin, making it very comfortable! It also had a restroom, which was very reassuring. I had previously gone on another tour to see dolphins, and I remembered feeling cold when coming out of the water due to the sea breeze. However, I didn't feel too cold inside the cabin, but I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt just in case.

It was a blissful time for my wife and me that flew by. I want to see dolphins again...

夫婦で参加させていただきました。家内に「ハワイで何したい？」と聞いたところ、「イルカに会いたい！！ウミガメ（ホヌ）に会いたい！！」との返事で、このツアーに申し込みました。
船酔いのひどい家内は多少不安だったみたいですが、日本から酔い止め薬を持参し、薬を飲めば、全然大丈夫でした。（忘れても大丈夫！！コオリナマリーナの売店で酔い止め薬を売ってますよ）マリーナを出て、30分もしないうちにイルカとご対面！！いや~、癒されます。いろんなものに興味津々のイルカたちはすぐに近寄って来てくれて、飛び跳ねたり、いろんな表情を見せてくれました。
イルカの次はシュノーケルでホヌやいろんな色の熱帯魚とご対面。。。優雅に4匹のホヌが泳いでました。手に取れるくらい魚たちが近寄ってきてくれました。防水カメラを持って行かれることをおすすめします。
その後、軽食の時間。船の甲板や思い思いの場所でみなさん、食事されてました。カルアピックがうまかったです。
船はキャビン付きの船なので、すごく快適！！トイレも付いてるのですごく安心。以前、別のツアーでイルカを見に行ったことがあったのですが、その時は海から上がると海風が冷たく感じ、寒い思いをしたことがあったのですが、キャビン内にいるとあまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、長袖一枚もって行かれることをおすすめします。
あっという間のうちら夫婦にとって至福の時間でした。
また、イルカに会いたいなぁ~。。。

I participated in the Premium Submarine tour with a total of 11 family members, relatives, and friends. It was a very valuable experience to see turtles swimming and even sharks. Everyone was thrilled, and I'm glad we joined. However, the boat ride to and from the submarine can make you seasick, and some people who joined us got sick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

プレミアムサブマリン日本語の回に、家族・親戚・友達、総勢１１名で参加しました。
カメが泳いでいる姿やサメまで見れて、とても貴重な体験でした。みんなも大喜びで、参加して良かったです。
ただ、サブマリンまでの往復の船が酔いやすく、一緒に参加した人も酔ってしまったので、酔いやすい人は、酔い止め必須です！！

WE want you to know that we Thnak you for making our reservations, We had the greatest time on our Dolhpin expeience and we will go on the Cat Olina a again sometime.

Unfortunately, the day of the tour was cloudy and a bit cold, but thanks to the beautiful sea and the cheerful staff, I was able to enjoy myself very much. I was also able to see sea turtles, which made for a great experience. I definitely want to participate again next time.

　あいにくツアーの日は曇りで少し寒かったのですが、
キレイな海と明るいスタッフの人達のおかげでとても楽しむ事ができました。
ウミガメも見ることができたし、いい経験になりました。
また、次の機会にも是非参加したいと思います。

We participated as a family of two adults and two children. We were very happy and completely satisfied to see the kids so excited and having a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the return meeting time was early when transportation was included. With lunch included, the time flew by.

大人２人、子供２人の家族で参加しました。
子供達がかなり大興奮でとても楽しんでいる姿に、私達も嬉しくて大満足でした。
ただ、送迎付きの場合、帰りの集合時間が早いことがちょっと残念でした。
昼食もとると、あっという間の時間でした。

We had a great time and the guide was very knowledgable and personable...thank you.

Our guide, Richard, was the best and was able to answer all our questions with candor.

Time of airport lei greeting had to be rescheduled as flight was rescheduled en route! One phone call and helpful staff assured that the lei was delivered at new time and flight number. Recipients were ecstatic and impressed by the helpfuness of greeters. Mahalo.

Had an absolute BLAST!! The crew was great and very entertaining. They were really helpful to first time snorkelers and were very welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment (except for the brief heavy rain).
Since we were not staying in Waikiki, we drove ourselves and had a little trouble finding the place, but called and got more detailed directions and still made it in plenty of time.

I found out that the Dolphin Encounter I had booked in advance wouldn't allow me to swim with the dolphins, so I upgraded to the Royal Swim for an additional $100.

This Royal Swim experience was a lot of fun as I got to be pushed by two dolphins and even stand on the water's surface, which was a bit acrobatic. However, since there were nearly 10 participants during that time, I only had about 10 minutes in total to touch and play with the dolphins (I was in the same pool for about 45 minutes).

At $200 for just 10 minutes of interaction, it felt a bit pricey, so I recommend asking at the reception to change to a time when there are fewer people (you'll need some English negotiation skills as Japanese won't be understood). The group after us had only three people and got to play with three dolphins, so I think that was a better deal.

現地で事前に申し込んでいたDolphin Encounterはイルカと泳げないことが分かり、一気にRoyal Swimにアップグレードしました。(＋$100)　
このRoyal Swimコースは2頭のイルカに足を押してもらい、水面に立てるようなちょっとアクロバティックなことができてとても楽しかったです。ただ、参加者が10人近くいた時間帯だったので、私がイルカを触ったり遊べた時間は合計で10分程度(同じプール内には45分くらいいました)

$200で10分のふれあいは高い気がしましたので、できれば受付で「一番人が少ない時間帯に変更したい」と申し出てみましょう(要英語の交渉力←日本語は通じない)。
私たちの後のグループはわずか3名で3頭のイルカと遊べたので、お徳だったと思います。

I had big expectations of this submarine ride and I was proven right. Equipment is well maintained. Staff are friendly and very competant, with great line handling and people skills. The experience was relaxing, entertaning and fun as well as having interest in more technical terms for underwater enthusiasts. The gift shop has some good value souveniers too.

Well we were expecting good lei's but when we arrived, the Lei's were even better than we thought. The only pitfall for this company is their lack of trying to get the right flight. We told them the right fight number three times and all three times they couldn't find it. The did get there at the end so it was good. The price is a little high for the Lei's but other than that, it was a good experience getting them as we arrived in Hawai'i

This was my second time participating. I highly recommend the Big Splash Package! This time, we took advantage of the summer vacation family special rate (with transportation included), which was quite a deal.
*For 2 adults and 1 child, it was $136 (normally $184, with the Splash rate at $134, so for just $2 more, we got meals and a bodyboarding experience).

As a dad planning a family of surfers, the ability to safely bodyboard was a deciding factor for me.

The meals were all-you-can-eat, and the beef and chicken were delicious.

The bodyboarding experience was as fun as I expected.

My little one was riding just like this.

Local bodyboarders were also riding standing up!

The kids' pool has plenty of slides, so I don't think they'll get bored.

The time was a bit short, but it surprisingly used up a lot of energy, so it was just right.

I also received one more experience ticket, so I tried the FlowRider.

It was quite fun!

今回は、2回目の参加。
ビッグ・スプラッシュ・パッケージがおすすめ！今回は夏休み・ファミリースペシャル料金(送迎付き）の利用でかなりお得でした。
※大人2人　こども1人　136ドル（通常184ドル、スプラッシュ134ドルと2ドルに差で食事とボディーボード体験付き）


家族総サーファー計画を目論むパパとしては、安全にボディーボードができるので決め手になりました。


食事は食べ放題でビーフとチキンうまかった。


ボディーボード体験は予想どおり楽しかった。

チビもままこのとおりのライディング。

地元のボディーボーダーはスタンディング（立って！）乗ってる人も。

こども向けのプールは滑り台が充実。飽きないと思いますよ。

時間は短めですが、意外と体力を使うのでちょうどいいかな。

あと1枚体験チケットをもらえたのでダ・フローライダー
をやってみました。

かなり面白かったです。

I took my girlfriend to the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was very romantic and fun. We booked the Royal Package, so we were taken to the upstairs which was much better than standard in the downstairs (i think!). The foods were great, and we couldn't even finish the three (3) drink tickets we received. The guy who was singing and playing the guitar for us that night was fantastic. The boat itself was pretty stable, and even though I was worried that I would get seasick, neither of us did. :)

For the foods, drinks, entertainment we got, I would recommend this cruise to anyone! Our server, Jenn, was very pleasant as well.

Since this was my sixth time in Oahu, I was looking for places I hadn't been to yet, and I signed up for this popular tour.

My impression is that the facility wasn't as large as I expected, and although we had about four hours, it was sufficient. I think it's good for those who have been to Hawaii multiple times, but it might feel like a waste of time for first-time visitors. Toshimaen is larger in scale (laughs).

The most interesting part was the Shaka, which is like a halfpipe. Be careful not to hurt your neck! The Cliffhanger wasn't as scary as I thought, so I went down about ten times.

What I liked here, unlike in Japan, is that it wasn't crowded. The pool itself was average and not very exciting, so I just kept going down the slides, and I got tired climbing back up, resulting in muscle soreness. Therefore, I recommend going on the last day.

オアフは６回目でほとんど行きつくしたので、行ったことがないところを探していたところ、人気のツアーだったので申し込みました。
感想は、思ったほど大きい施設ではなく、４時間くらい時間がありましたが、充分でした。
何度もハワイに行ったことがある人にはいいと思いますが、初ハワイの人にとっては時間がもったいないかも。豊島園のほうが規模が大きいです（笑）
一番面白かったのは、シャカというハーフパイプみたいなやつです。首を痛めないように要注意！
あとクリフハンガーは思ったほど怖くなかったので、１０回くらい滑りました。
ここは日本と違って空いているのがいいですね。プール自体は普通で面白くないので、ひたすら滑り台をやり続け、登るのに疲れて筋肉痛になりました。なので最終日に行くのがおすすめです。
