All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

We boarded a boat and landed on the sandbar. It was a strange sensation to be in the middle of the ocean yet find sand beneath us. It was a bit chilly during this time.

船に乗って、サンドバーに上陸。
海のど真ん中なのに、サンドがある不思議な感覚を味わえました。この時期は少し寒かった。

Great 1st impression in Hawaii! It was so welcoming!! Friendly, helped us get where we needed to go for rental car.

We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.

The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦２人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。

船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。
今年は別のデッキにトライしたいと思います。

Family had great time..had a little rain but it rains every day here in Honolulu and didn’t stop anything and had a rainbow after..would definitely recommend this Luau…

Loved the tour and was fun to see where all the movies were shot! Our guide was amazing! Would highly recommend going with your family! We only did the movie tour but there are a lot of other tours that seemed great!

While my child was playing alone, a local child came over and played together with them a lot! Although some areas closed due to the strong wind, the slides and kids' area were well-equipped, and there were about three staff members in each area, which made me feel safe.

子どもが1人で遊んでいたら、現地の子が声をかけてくれて、たくさん一緒に遊んでくれました！
風が強くて、途中からクローズしてしまった所もありましたが、滑り台もキッズエリアも充実していて、監視員さんが1エリアに3人くらいいて安心です。

We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather

It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again

I have always wanted to go to Heaven's Beach, and this time my wish came true! The weather was cloudy, but I enjoyed the friendly staff, beautiful boat, and activities like SUP! The drinks, snacks, and spa rice balls were delicious as well. There are staff members who understand Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめます! I also want to see the scenery on a sunny day, so I made a reservation to join during my summer trip to Hawaii. I'm looking forward to it!

ずっと天国の海に行きたかったので今回、念願叶いました！お天気は曇りだったのですが、フレンドリーなスタッフと綺麗なボート、SUPなどのアクティビティを満喫しました！ドリンクとスナック、スパむすびも美味しくいただきました。日本語がわかるスタッフもいるので安心して楽しめます！
晴れた日の景色も見たくて夏のハワイ旅行でも参加しようと予約しました、楽しみです！

I decided to go whale watching at my father's request. After comparing several tours, I chose this one. The whale watching tours offer small, medium, and large boats, and I opted for the large boat this time due to concerns about seasickness. I wondered if I would get seasick, but I didn't at all. I was worried because the guide only spoke English, but even I, who don't understand English at all, was able to enjoy it! There were many whales, and I was moved to see more than I had imagined. The boat has four levels, and I enjoyed the different views from each floor. I also appreciated the shuttle service to the boat.

父の希望でホエールウォッチングに行くことに。
何個かのツアーと比較して、こちらに決定。
ホエールウォッチングのツアーには小型船、中型船、大型船とあり、こちらは大型船のツアー。
今回は船酔いを心配して大型にしました。
船酔いするかな？と思ったけど、全然そんなことありませんでした。
ガイドは英語のみなので心配しましたが、英語をまったく理解出来ない私でも楽しめました！
クジラもたくさん来ていて、想像以上にたくさんのクジラを見ることが出来て感動。
こちらの船は1階から4階まであって、それぞれの階で見たのですが、見え方が違ってそれも楽しめました。
船までの送迎があるのもありがたかったです。

Overall, the experience was awesome! Tyson and the whole crew are wonderful, extremely kind, and helpful. The boat was clean, and I felt safe. The team went above and beyond to make the sandbar and snorkeling a blast!

We had the most incredible time touring the Mighty Mo!! Really incredible to stand on a battleship where WWII came to an end. Saffron, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was so informative, interesting and kind. Could listen to her all day! We also met Alvin in the Aviation Museum and really enjoyed listening to him! We had toured the Arizona on our last visit to Hawaii and very much enjoyed that tour. Pearl Harbor is well organized and well worth the visit.

I didn't catch a lot, but it was still quite enjoyable! Unfortunately, my child got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is a must. If you understand a little bit of English, you'll have a great time. The staff were kind, and when I didn't understand English, they translated for me using their phone. They also prepared the fish right there, and it was delicious! I would love to go again if I have the chance.

いっぱい釣れなかったですが、そこそこ楽しかったです！
残念ながら子供が酔ってしまって、船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
英語がすこーしだけ分かれば十分楽しめます。
スタッフの方も親切で、こちらが英語がわからない場合、携帯で翻訳してくれました。
お魚もその場で捌いてくれて、美味しくいただきました！
また機会があれば行きたいです。

Wow should I start off with the most delicious authentic hawaiian food I have ever tried..My whole family cleaned their plate..Including the dessert was delicious..The show was amazing so worth the cost..The host keep us laughing

During the tour, we got off the car and took a walk to a scenic ridge. My 4-year-old grandchild was eager to climb up. It was the best opportunity to be active! The driver was also very kind and accommodating, which helped create wonderful memories.

ツアーの途中で車から降りて景色の良い尾根までの散策がありました。４歳の孫も張り切って登りました。活動できる場面は、最高！ドライバーさんも優しく対応をしてくださり、良い思い出ができました。

I did get a bit seasick along the way, but I was able to see the seabed, and I was surprised to find fish in such deep waters. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it again.

途中船酔いもしましたが、海底を見ることができて
そんな深いところに魚もいるなんてビックリしました。また機会があったらよろしくお願いします

I have participated before, but the sandbar wasn't very prominent, and it was disappointing because it looked different from the photos... I wonder if it was the wrong time of day...

前にも参加したことあるのですが、サンドバーがあまり出ていなくて、写真と違うので残念でした…時間帯が悪かったのかな…

this was really fun with a lot of photo ops during, we loved this day to explore the gorgeous valley of Kualoa!

Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!

Quick easy pick up and drop off, the tour guide does not go in the park with you however!

Lots of new things learned at my stop to the Pearl Harbor grounds! The tour guide as well detailed a lot of useful information to and from the grounds

The buggy experience itself was amazing! However, I got caught in a sudden downpour and ended up soaking wet (laughs). They sell ponchos at the shop, but they're really basic, so I strongly recommend bringing your own poncho from Japan if you're planning to participate. You never know when or where a downpour might happen. Also, you will get really dirty, so I highly recommend wearing dark-colored clothes.

バギー体験自体は最高！ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。

First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I highly recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a swim towel (laughs).

Also, lunch options are really limited to a simple slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you're only allowed to bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so it can't be helped. You don't need to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think you can skip that. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Usually, these tours include transportation and arrive at the venue before opening, so you can typically secure a spot, so I guess there's no need to worry (laughs).

Also, not all attractions are open, so be careful about that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you ride attractions barefoot, if you're concerned about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good option.)

Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions. Most of the time, they don't measure, but occasionally, there might be someone from the main office (wearing a polo shirt, beige shorts, and holding a walkie-talkie) who will measure your height strictly, and if you're even a little short, they won't hesitate to make you get off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we got on, we were allowed without any height measurement because it was a part-time worker, but the second time, we got caught by that person and were told she was a bit too short, so we had to get off. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.

There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you basically have to slide down alone, so for kids who can't slide by themselves, it might just be cold for them. The prices are definitely not cheap, so I probably won't go again. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and while there are showers, they only have cold water. It might be better to think that there are no hot water showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.

まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ１ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人？(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小１娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、２回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には１人で滑らないといけないから、逆に１人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、２回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル～20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。

I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.

The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.

I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.

バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...

Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.

Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!

I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!

親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人？」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。
ボートから海へ降りた時、足がつかないことにパニックになっている男の子がいたんですが(もちろんライフベストは着用していました)
ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う？」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。

あとは船酔い！
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね！
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです！
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。

最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び！

どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。
Thank you Tittha!!

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!

The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.

更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分！
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.

2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。

We participated as a group of eight, including three small children, and the staff were very kind and accommodating to the kids. On the day of our visit, the water level was low, but both adults and children had plenty of fun snorkeling and with the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). We also got to see sea turtles up close, which made the kids very happy—it was the best experience!

小さな子ども3人を含む８名での参加でしたが、スタッフが子供にも優しく対応して頂きました。当日腰下位の水位が有りましたが、シュノーケリングやSAPで大人も充分楽しめました。またホヌも近くで見られて子供も喜び最高でした。
