All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.

イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。
あ、でも、それは、私は過去にハワイとグアムで２回、イルカを観る事が
できたからかも知れません。

From the easy pick up from our hotel, drive to ship, on the whale watching adventure to return trip, we had a great time.

We participated in a plan with transportation for a total of four people, including a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old. The hotel we stayed at was not the designated pickup location, but a nearby hotel was specified for the pickup based on our application. We brought a stroller of the buggy type, and it was transported and used without any issues.

We were lucky to see whales multiple times. On the deck, we enjoyed the breeze, and even from the indoor area with tables and chairs, we could sit and watch the whales, allowing us to see them from either environment. The 3-year-old was entertained throughout the experience.

The explanations and announcements (such as the direction of the whales) were in English. Although the kids did not get seasick, I thought it would have been nice to have the option for my husband to take motion sickness medication since he experienced seasickness.

3歳、0歳を連れた計4人で送迎付きのプランで参加をしました。
私たちの宿泊したホテルは送迎ピックアップの場所ではなかったのですが、申し込み内容と合わせてピックアップ場所（最寄りのホテル）が指定されました。バギータイプのベビーカーを持参しましたが、問題なく運搬し利用できました。
私たちは運が良くクジラを何度も見ることができました。デッキ上は風を感じながら楽しめ、テーブル椅子がある室内からでも座りながらクジラが見れたりと、環境に合わせてどちらからでもクジラが見れます。3歳の子も最後まで飽きずに楽しんでいました。
説明やアナウンス（クジラのいる方向など）は英語です。
子供達は船酔いしなかったものの、旦那が船酔いをしていたため、酔い止めを飲む選択もあったら良かったかなと思いました。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠目にですが、クジラの姿も確認できました。もう少し近くで見たかったですが、風も気持ちよくてクルーズとして楽しめました。寒いくらいなので、長袖の上着は必須です。お迎えつきは現地集合よりも高くて迷いましたが、現地集合では、船が沢山あって、どこに行ったらいいか分からなかったと思います。安心して参加できたので、お迎えつきで良かったです。

Well organized and efficient/enjoyable tour
Bus ride out and back was very informative of the time from a local perspective. All the arrangements and timing at the historic site with its distinct ticketing ( mighty Mi, the AZ memorial) was seamless and great. Highly recommend for a fine and necessary day trip on Oahu.

We really enjoyed this trip! It was my husband birthday’

It was a tour that everyone from toddlers to adults could enjoy. During the jungle experience, the vehicle swayed with excitement, and we had to wait for cows blocking the road to move. Every time the scenery changed, everyone took photos with their cameras, and the view from the mountain climb was incredibly beautiful. It was a day so sunny that it didn't feel like the rainy season, and we were blessed with warm weather, making it enjoyable throughout. The god of opportunity guided us, and my son was the first to spot it, which made him very happy. Thank you very much.

幼児から大人まで楽しめるツアーでした。
ジャングル体験で、車が揺れる度に、盛り上がり、途中で牛が道をふさいでいて牛が動くのを待ったり、景色が変わる度に皆カメラで写真撮ったり、山登りして見えた景色もとてもきれいで最高でした。雨季とは、思えないほど良く晴れた日で、暑いくらいの天気に恵まれて終始楽しめました。
チャンスの神様教えて下さり、息子が一番最初に見つけて喜んでいました。ありがとうございました。

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.

The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.

We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.

The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.

We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.

All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

The tour, which takes you around the vast grounds in a bus driven by the staff, is fantastic, with various movie scenes like Jurassic Park scattered throughout. The staff's lively commentary was entertaining and made me feel like a kid again, having a great time.

ジェラシックパークなど数々の映画シーンが広大は敷地に点在するなかをスタッフが運転するバスで巡るツアーは最高です。中でもスタッフの軽快な解説は笑いがありこどもに戻って大はしゃぎしました。

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.

We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!

Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.

Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.

1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも？と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました！
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも！参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです！

小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。

また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

Highly recommend the activity. Love seeing where they made all the movies

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

The day before the experience, it was raining heavily, so I was worried about the weather, but those worries were unnecessary as it turned out to be a clear day. The waves were not high, and I was able to participate with a calm mind. However, on the day we participated, no whales appeared... I was disappointed since we joined to see whales, but it was my first time cruising on a boat in Hawaii, and as I was taking in the scenery, I realized that we were approaching the goal before I knew it! After the experience, tickets for a return trip on the boat were distributed! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

体験前日、大雨が降っていたため、天候の心配をしておりましたが、そんな心配は無用で快晴でした。波も高くなく、落ち着いた気持ちで参加することができました。ですが、私たちが参加した日は、クジラが現れず…
クジラを見に参加したので残念でしたが、ハワイで船に乗ってクルーズする経験が初めてで、景色をじっくりと見ていたら、いつのまにかゴールが近づいていました！
体験後、後日船に再乗船できるチケットを配布しておりました！
また機会があればぜひ参加したいと思っています。

We did not see any whales after going twice on the trip but nonetheless the staff was very helpful, encouraging, and fun! Just a bit of bad luck with the whales! The cruise was easy and there was plenty of space on the ship. At the end of the day, it was a lovely whaleless cruise along the coast which was relaxing and enjoyable.

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.

お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが５スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。

It was really disappointing to have my first rainy day in Hawaii, but I did my best to climb. The waterfall with its drop was impressive! ☺️ The sandwich and acai bowl for lunch were delicious! ⤴️

ハワイ来てはじめての雨の一日で本当に残念でしたでも頑張って登りました落差のある滝見応え有りました☺️昼食のサンドイッチ、アサイボール美味しかったです～⤴️

It was my first time fishing from a boat, and I participated alone. The crew was kind and friendly, which made me feel at ease. I encountered dolphins and seals! Although I didn't catch much, I enjoyed the fish that the crew cooked for us on the boat. It was delicious.

船釣りは初めてで、しかも一人での参加。クルーが親切でフレンドリーで安心した。イルカやアザラシとも遭遇！なかなか釣れなかったけど、クルーの釣った魚を船の上で調理して頂いた。美味しかった。

The pickup time was 5 minutes past, and since no one had arrived, I contacted the emergency contact. They sent a different bus that had been stopped for a few minutes, which was scheduled for another tour. I made it to the cruise in plenty of time, so it wasn't a problem, but I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't reached out. The cruise itself was enjoyable, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales.

ピックアップ時間に5分過ぎても来なかったので緊急連絡先に連絡したところ、数分前から止まっていた、違うツアー予定だったバスを回してくれました。
クルーズには十分間に合ったので問題無いのですが、連絡していなかったらどうなったのか、と思います。
クルーズ自体は楽しかったのですが、残念ながらホエールは見えませんでした。。

Last year, I went to a sandbar on another tour, but this one was better. The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The rice balls were surprisingly delicious. I plan to recommend it to my friends.

去年、他のツアーでサンドバーに行きましたが、今回の方が良かったです。
天気も良くウミガメがすぐそばで見れました。
おにぎりが意外にも美味しかったです。
友達にも勧めようと思います。

We participated in whale watching for the first time as a parent and child. We were very moved to see two whales! We were able to witness breaching, which we had only seen on TV, right in front of us multiple times! I think there must be some timing involved, but it felt like we were quite lucky on the day we participated. My 6-year-old was captivated by the whales they saw for the first time. We created wonderful memories in Hawaii.

初めてのホエールウォッチングに親子で参加しました。
2頭のくじらに会えてとても感動しました^_^
テレビでしか見たことのないブリーチングも目の前で何度も見れました！
きっとタイミングなどあると思いますが私達が参加した日はかなりラッキーだったような気がします^_^
6歳の子供も初めて見るくじらに釘付けでした。
ハワイのとてもいい思い出ができました。

I was looking forward to participating since they were confident about whale watching. They mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a free pass for the next time. The explanations were easy to understand, and they said that humpback whales come up to breathe every 45 minutes. We saw over 30 whales swimming around, but they were hard to spot. Just when I was about to give up, suddenly they appeared! The first one was a baby, and the second was an adult whale, posing beautifully with Diamond Head in the background! It was an incredibly satisfying tour. It might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication on hand.

ホエールウォッチングに自信ありとのことでしたので、楽しみにして参加しました。万一見られなかった場合でも次回無料パスを頂けるとのこと。説明もわかりやすく、ザトウクジラは45分に1回海上に呼吸をしにくるとのことで、30以上回遊してましたが、中々現れず。今日はもう駄目かと諦めかけた瞬間、その時は突然やってきました。1頭目はベイビー、2頭目は大人のクジラで、ダイヤモンドモンドヘッドをバックにハイポーズ❣️
大大満足のツアーでした。船酔いの薬があった方が良いかも知れませんねー

We booked Hollywood tour at Kualoa ranch with our 2 little kids and we really enjoyed the experience. We also paid for pick up and drop off to Waikiki, which was really convenient.

The guide on the bus was really good and had lots of good information to share. We also enjoyed his humour.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and will come back again.

The entire experience was exceptional. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Would definitely go see it again. A job very well done.

This may have been the only time, but all the participants except for us were from the mainland United States. Therefore, there was almost no support in Japanese, and even for us, who are not too uncomfortable with English, we ended up not understanding much of the content. If we had knowledge of constellations, we might have understood better. However, I thought it was a valuable experience to be able to see Saturn and other planets through the telescope. Also, at the end, they gave us a photo as a gift.

今回だけかもしれませんが、参加者は私たち以外、全員アメリカ本土からの方たちばかりでした。
ですので、日本語でのフォローもほとんどなく、英語にそれほど不自由しない私たちでも内容があまり理解できずに終わりました。
星座の知識があれば理解できたかもしれませんが。
ただ、土星などは望遠鏡で見ることができて、貴重な体験だったと思いました。また、最後に写真をプレゼントしてくれました。

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

I was unsure which course to choose, but I decided on this one based on everyone's reviews. I had a great time all day, and I think it was good that meals were included. I was worried about the bad weather, but I was able to see the second performance on the boat, and especially the staff on the boat made it a lot of fun, so it became a wonderful memory.

どのコースにしようか迷ったのですが、みなさんの感想を参考にしてこちらのコースにしました。
一日中楽しめましたし、食事も付いてたしよかったと思います。
あいにくの空模様で心配してたのですが、船の上で二次も見ることができ、特に船のスタッフの方がいろいろ楽しませてくれたのでとてもいい思い出になりました。

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

I had imagined Sandbar to be a sandy beach like in the pictures, but it was just a shallow area, which was disappointing. Also, the hamburger lunch was small and not very tasty. Until now, all the tours I participated in Hawaii were very satisfying, but this time I was disappointed for the first time.

サンドバーは写真のような砂浜をイメージしていましたが、単なる浅瀬で、がっかりしました。またハンバーガーランチは小さく味もイマイチでした。
今まで参加したハワイのツアーはとても満足のいくものばかりでしたが、今回初めてがっかりしました。

It was a plan that included transportation to the site, and upon arrival, there was a guide who spoke Japanese, who explained how to enter and how to have lunch. All the other park staff communicated only in English, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. Thank you very much.

現地までの送迎付きプランでしたが、到着すると日本語が話せるガイドさんがおられ、入場の方法やお昼の取り方など説明いただきました。その他のパークのスタッフのかたはすべて英語のみのコミュニケーションでしたので、不安なく楽しめました。ありがとうございました。
