All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We did the movie set Bus tour with our 2 grandkids (7 and 4 yo).
It’s 90 minutes but could easily be done in 60.
The ranch scenery is beautiful but the actual ‘sets’ were less than impressive.
Overall I would not recommend this tour. Not worth the $200.

It was an outstanding show, good food, and the hosts were excellent with a good sense of humor. The best Luau we've ever seen.

The sunset was amazing, and we had a great view of the fireworks from Hilton. The light hitting Diamond Head before sunset was incredibly beautiful. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend 5STAR.

サンセット、ヒルトンの花火がよく見えてさいこうでした。
サンセット前にダイアモンドヘッドに光があたり無茶苦茶きれいです。
少し高いですが、5STAR がおすすめです。

The weather was great and it was the best experience.
We started with time for SUP and floaties, followed by snorkeling.
There were two boats, so it seems there was a reverse pattern depending on the boat.
We had plenty of time, so we could enjoy ourselves at a leisurely pace.
I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I'm not a strong swimmer, but the staff provided assistance for those who were nervous, which made me feel secure.
It was fun to see sea turtles as well.
It was a bit chilly when we got out of the water, so I recommend bringing a bath towel.

天候もよく最高でした。
最初にSUPや浮き輪などの時間があり、その後シュノーケリングでした。
2つの船があったので船によってその逆パターンがあったようです。
時間もじっくりとっていたのでゆっくり遊ぶことができました。
シュノーケリングは私は泳ぎが苦手なので不安でしたが不安な人向けにスタッフの方の補助などもあり安心してできました。
ウミガメも見ることができて楽しかったです。
海から上がった時は少し寒かったのでバスタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Originally, we had booked with another company, but due to a ship malfunction, it was suddenly canceled. We made a last-minute reservation here, and I'm glad we did because there aren't many tours where you can swim with dolphins. From the pick-up to the end of the tour, a Japanese staff member was with us, always being attentive while we swam in the ocean. The other staff members were also kind, making it a very enjoyable tour. It was a wonderful experience to swim closely with the dolphins. Thank you very much.

今回ハネムーンでハワイへ。本当は別の会社で予約していたのですが船が故障した関係で急遽中止に。直前でしたが、こちらを予約しました。イルカと泳げるツアーはあまりないのでこちらにして良かったです。お迎えからツアー終了まで日本人の方がついてくださり、海で泳ぐ際も常に気を使ってくれました。その他のスタッフも親切でとても楽しいツアーでした。イルカを間近で見ながら泳ぐことができてとても良い経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

This was my third time participating. It was a snorkeling experience in the calm sea with coral. I'm in my seventies and don't swim very well, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float. I was able to see many sea turtles and colorful tropical fish. On the boat, you can enjoy spam onigiri, snacks, and warm drinks. I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes and a cover-up since you might get cold.

今回で三回目の参加です。
珊瑚の穏やかな海のシュノーケリングでした。七十代の高齢者であまり泳げませんが、ライフジャケットを付けスタッフさんが浮きを引っ張って誘導してくれたので安心でした。ホヌや彩の熱帯魚が沢山見れました。ボートではスパムおにぎりやスナック菓子温かい飲み物がいただけます。ビーチタオルと体が冷えるので着替えと羽織りは持って行った方がいいと思います。

I finally went to the heavenly sea! It truly felt like paradise, with crystal clear waters. While snorkeling, I was able to see many fish and several sea turtles hiding in the coral reefs. I was also thrilled to spot sharks from the boat. The bilingual staff provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It was the most beautiful beach I've visited in Hawaii so far. I was surprised when a sea turtle swam right up to me! The staff were all kind and friendly, and I really appreciated their help. Thank you very much. I definitely want to go again someday! ❤️

念願の天国の海に行ってきました♪
本当に天国みたいで、透明で透き通る海でした。スノーケリングでは、たくさんのお魚に珊瑚礁に隠れてる海亀を何匹もみることができました。またボートからサメも目撃して大興奮。バイリンガルのスタッフさんが、日本語と英語で両方説明をしてくれるので安心です。今までに行ったハワイのビーチの中で、一番きれいでした。しかも海亀がすぐそこに泳いできてくれて、びっくりしました‼️スタッフの方は、みなさん優しくフレンドリーで、いろいろお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。いつかまたぜひ行きたいです❤️

I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, but until now, I had never been to the sandbar due to bad timing. This time, the timing was perfect for my schedule. Although the sandbar didn't appear, the water was about knee-deep, and the weather was great, making it a fantastic experience. Captain Jason, along with the cheerful Ryan and the friendly Japanese staff member Izumi, made the tour lively and enjoyable.

ハワイには10回以上来ていますが、これまではタイミングが悪く、サンドバーには行ったことがありませんでした。今回はスケジュール的にバッチリのタイミングで、砂浜は現れませんでしたが膝くらいの水深でお天気にも恵まれて最高の体験でした。キャプテンのジェイソンをはじめ陽気なライアンと日本人のイズミさんの賑やかなスタッフがフレンドリーで楽しくツアーを盛り上げてくれました。

That’s my best ever snorkeling experience with captain Bruce tour, our captain is captain Rowan, after I told him that my daughter and I don’t know how to swim and that’s our first time snorkeling. He helped us a lot. He guided us to the snorkeling area and helped us flow with the red banana. And all other two stuff guys are very helpful too. I very recommend this tour. Do not miss it lol!

It was my first experience with spam onigiri, and it was really delicious. Additionally, there was a great selection of drinks and snacks, and the captain and crew were all very nice. Each tour also had plenty of time, making for a relaxed experience. Since the wind can be strong and it might rain suddenly, it's a good idea to bring a jacket!

スパムおにぎり初体験でしたが、すごく美味しかったです。
それから、飲料やお菓子も充実していたし、船長はじめクルーの方も良い方ばかりですし、各ツアーも十分時間があるのでゆったりとしたツアーになっています。風が強くて突然雨とかありますので上着を持って行った方がいいですね！

Second Trip
We chose to start a bit slowly in the morning.
We will be picked up near the Sheraton Waikiki, at Aloha Landing. (The same location for the return trip)

This tour has over 10 Japanese tourists participating, and the bus driver was very friendly.
Along the way, he introduced us to famous restaurants in Hawaii.

During the actual tour, the three crew members were very cheerful and treated us Japanese tourists kindly.
(Since there were many Japanese tourists, they engaged us by speaking some Japanese words.)
Additionally, there was a female interpreter on board who translated in Japanese, so I was able to understand the English I couldn't catch without worry.

We were able to see sea turtles, and at the sandbar, we took photos and did stand-up paddleboarding, which was very satisfying.

I definitely recommend participating in this tour!
*Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on your back. I probably got sunburned while snorkeling.

第2便
朝は少しゆっくりのスタートを選択しました。
シェラトンワイキキ近く、ALOHA LANDINGよりピックアップしていただきます。(帰宅時も同じ場所へ)

同便は日本人観光逆10名以上参加で
バスの運転手さんがとても気さくな方でした。
道中、ハワイの有名レストランを紹介してくれます。

実際のツアーではキャプテンクルーの3名はとても明るく、かつ日本人に対して優しい対応をしてくれます。
(日本人観光客が多いこともあり、日本語の単語を話して盛り上げてくれる)
また、船上では女性の方が日本語で別途通訳してくれるので聞き取れなかった英語についても安心して理解することができました。

ウミガメを見ることができ、サンドバーでは写真を撮ったりSUPをしたり、とても大満足です。

ぜひこのツアー、参加してください！
※日焼け止めは背中の方までしっかり塗ってください。
シュノーケリング中におそらく焼けました。

The pickup was on time, and the friendly guy was great. Once we arrived, there was a crew member who spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to understand the explanations clearly. Everyone was friendly, making it a comfortable experience.

ピックアップも時間通り愛想のいいおっちゃん。
現地着いてからも日本語ペラペラクルーが居て説明もしっかり把握出来ました。みんなフレンドリーで過ごしやすかったです

We loved this luau!!! From the start to the finish, it was well planned, fun and engaging. We loved the MC, the food, the dancing the activities, everything. We will highly recommend it!!! Thank you for the real leis and for being bold to say a prayer to Almighty God before the meal. Thank you for putting on a great show!

Was great to see the sunken Arizona ship and even get some other historic sights around the city too!

Typical luau, gives you everything you want to see and eat! First time is best time.

They send you the QR code needed and make sure they know you need it!

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

Really wonderful experience, crew was knowledgeable, and we got to see a cute family with a baby!

Good food, fun games and crafts, the pig roast was a sight to see!

The food was really delicious, and we made some sweet vacation friends at the table we sat at!

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

My family really enjoyed this tour, we are big movie people so to see the ranch where so many took place was awesome, and the guides are on point with their knowledge!

Chief makes sure you have a great time on vacation, filling the evening with laughs on top of Hawaiian culture!

This is an unforgettable experience for turtle lovers! I was lucky enough to encounter about six sea turtles, both big and small (@_@). Although it was snorkeling, I never expected to get this close to them. There were also various activities to enjoy at the sandbar, and even as a beginner, I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)＼(^^)／. On the boat, there were plenty of free soft drinks and snacks. Each person gets one, and the Spam musubi, a Hawaiian classic, was delicious. The guide was fluent in Japanese, and I was particularly impressed by the talkative half-Japanese woman (^^;). If I have the chance, I would love to participate again. I hear the morning is the best time to go.

タートル好きにはたまらない体験です！！
運が良かったのか、大小6頭くらいのウミガメと遭遇(@_@)
シュノーケリングではありますが、この近さで体験できるとは思いませんでした。
またサンドバーでも色々なアクティビティが体験でき、supは初心者でも楽しかったです＼(^^)／
ボートの上では、無料のソフトドリンクやお菓子なども充実してます。ひとり一個ですが、ハワイ定番のスパムむすびも美味しかったです。
ガイドの方も日本語堪能で、特にハーフの女性の方のトーク力にはまりました(^^;)
また機会があれば、参加したいです。
おすすめは午前中だそうです。

The luau was entertaining and informative. The food was good too. Staff did a good job of moving 500 people through the lines. Only two watered down drink tickets. The free choices were only offered at one stand. For 500 people. Not enough.
I enjoyed the pictures on arrival. I think more opportunities for pictures would have been good.

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful blue sea!
We gathered at the port and spent about three hours together, during which we not only saw the sandbar but also enjoyed snorkeling and a stand-up paddleboarding experience. On our way back to the port, we had a lovely cruise over the beautiful sea. In just these three hours, we were able to have such amazing experiences, and my whole family was very satisfied. The macadamia-flavored coffee and spam rice balls we enjoyed on the boat were also very delicious! This trip was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Yuka and all the staff, we created wonderful memories.
Thank you so much!

綺麗すぎるブルーの海に感動しました！
港に集合してから解散まで3時間ほどでしたが、サンドバーを見られるだけでなく、シュノーケリングやSAP体験、そして港に戻る時には綺麗な海の上を案内していただきクルージングも楽しめました。この3時間という時間の中でこれほどの体験をする事ができ、家族みんな大満足でした。船の上でごちそうになったマカダミア風味の珈琲やスパムのおむすびも大変美味しかったです！結婚30年の記念の旅行でしたが、ゆかさんはじめスタッフの皆様のおかげで素晴らしい思い出が出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました！

We had a very interesting and enjoyable time, including with the captain. Also, seeing the sea turtles excited the whole family. We definitely want to go again.

船長さん含め、とても面白く、楽しい時間を
過ごさせて頂きました。また、ウミガメが見れて
家族みんな興奮しました。
また必ず行きたいです。

My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The MC was fantastic and funny. The flower and anniversary leis were a wonderful touch. The activities were fun. The show was very entertaining, impressive, and the food was good too! The waterfall and hike were fun before too. Thank you for a fantastic day and evening! Mahalo!

They are punctual and friendly. The experience of touring the memorial was great. Strongly recommended with this tour company.
