All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

My sister and brother-in-law were delighted and surprised with their late greeting. So happy I had arranged for that with you. Our greeter was able to find us amidst the confusion of finding bags and a long travel day. Really appreciate that!

First of all, all the participants were Japanese! After heading out to sea from the port by boat, you can go snorkeling from the sandbar. While snorkeling, you can swim with many fish while viewing coral. It's a matter of luck, but a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, and I was able to swim with it! I highly recommend it!

まず、参加者は全員日本人でした！
ボートで港から沖に出たあと、サンドバーから出てシュノーケリングができます
シュノーケリングではサンゴを見ながらたくさんの魚と泳げます
これは運が絡むところですが、目の前にウミガメが現れて一緒に泳げました！
オススメです！

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.

Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.

From the beginning to the end, everything was absolutely beautiful and fun, but seeing my grandaughter and the sparkles in her eyes left me speechless.

The crew were THE BEST! They were all so lively, energetic, sweet, caring and considerate. One even individually assisted my Mom snorkeling and guided her til the end. I love this tour and will definitely be back 100%. Thank you guys for a wonderful time.

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour! The staff, who are fluent in both English and Japanese, provided thorough guidance. I recommend checking the dates and times for low tide before making a reservation. (As for the weather on the day, we can only leave it to luck...) On the day of the activities, you can freely choose from options like SUP, inflatable rings, and snorkeling, so I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. If you're going to Waikiki, definitely go for it! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

とても楽しく充実したツアーでした！
英語・日本語の出来るスタッフの方が、丁寧に案内をしてくださいます。
予約される際には、干潮になる日にちや時間帯を調べてから、日程を検討されることをおすすめします。
(当日の天気については、運を天に任せるしかないのですが…)
当日のアクティビティについては、SUPや浮き輪、シュノーケリング等から自由に選べるので、体力のない方でも楽しめると思います。
ワイキキに行かれる方はぜひ！
素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

Since I visited in early November, there were few users and almost no waiting time. There were some attractions that were closed from the start (like the lazy river) and activities that closed early. There were slides that you can't experience in Japan, and both my kids and I had a great time.

11月上旬に行ったので利用者が少なく待ち時間がほとんどなかったです。最初からクローズになっているもの（流れるプール）やクローズになる時間が早いアクティビティもありました。日本では体験できないようなスライダーがあって子供達も私も楽しむことができました。

The snorkeling was murky, possibly because the sea was shallow, and I couldn't see any fish except where the staff was scattering food. The coral was completely white, and I could hardly see anything. After snorkeling, I got to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and the staff taught me how to ride it, which was a lot of fun.

シュノーケリングは海が浅瀬のためか濁っていて、スタッフが餌を撒いているところ以外魚も見えず、珊瑚は真っ白でほとんど何も見えなかったです。
シュノーケリングの後supが使えて初めての経験でスタッフが乗り方を教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.

I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.

このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。

It was an enjoyable leisure pool that was quite family-friendly! While there wasn't anything particularly amazing, there were various slides, and I think spending about 2 to 3 hours there is just right!
Parking was around $20, and the lockers inside the park were about $10.
The slide boats are free, but they are reused, so be sure to grab one from someone at the slide exit.

子供連れが多い普通に楽しいレジャープールでした！特別すごい何かってわけではないけど色んなスライダーとかあって、コンテンツとしては2、3時間行くぐらいがちょうど良いかと！
駐車場は20ドル、園内のロッカーは10ドルぐらいだったかと！
スライダーのボートは無料ですが使い回しなので、スライダー降り口で誰かのもらいましょう。

When I arrived at the ferry boarding area, I thought, "Huh? It's just a regular sea," but as we went out to the open water on the ferry, it was truly a heavenly sea. It was shallow enough to stand even that far out, and the water was clear—such a new experience!

フェリー乗る場所に着いた時は、え？普通の海じゃんと思ったが、フェリーで沖まで行くとそこにはまさしく天国の海が。
あんな沖なのに立てるぐらいの浅さで水も透明、新体験でした！

It might be surprisingly unknown, but visiting allows you to learn about Hawaii from 200 years ago, which was quite interesting! The interior design of the buildings was also well done!

意外と知られてない？かもしれないが、行ってみると200年前のハワイとかを知れて結構面白かった！
建物の内装もグッドデザインでした！

There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.

This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.

サンドバーへのアクティビティの会社はいくつもあったのでかなり吟味してここに決めました。ポイントは滞在時間が長い事、船上でのハンバーガーランチが魅力的だった事です。お天気も良くて始まりからテンションが上がりました。ガイドの女性もとても慣れていらして日本語と英語でグループ分けされていたのも良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれてサンドバーでシュノーケルの練習が出来たので初めての友人もシュノーケリングに戸惑う事なくとても楽しめたようです。最後まで完璧で参加して良かったの言葉しか出ませんでした。
今回のハワイは海遊びをこれしか予定していなかったのでとても良い思い出になりました。

I went with my two elementary school children and family. The Japanese staff at the reception were very polite and helped us enter smoothly. The locker fee seemed a bit high, but we used it for peace of mind. There were many slides, and seeing my children happily sliding down multiple times made me feel that it was worth coming.

小学生の子供2人と家族で行きました。
受付に日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に対応してくれてスムースに入れました。
荷物ロッカー代が高い印象でしたが、安心のために利用しました。
スライダーが沢山あり、こどもが楽しそうに何度も滑っている姿を見て、来てよかったと感じました。

Fully enjoyed the ranch tour. We did the Jurassic valley movie tour in open wi Dow bus. Our guide was fantastic, engaging with everyone and very informative. Helping out taking group photos for everyone that asked. We watched groups go by in the jeep tours which also looked like they would be a lot of fun.

The highlight of this trip was the snorkeling tour at Heaven's Sea, and we were fortunate with the weather, making it a lot of fun. Although there was only one stand-up paddleboard for the group, everyone took turns and enjoyed it thoroughly. The snorkeling was amazing; we could see turtles clearly and even swim alongside them, which was thrilling. The guide was also entertaining, making this tour highly recommended.

今回の旅行の1番の楽しみの天国の海シュノーケリングツアー、天候にも恵まれとても楽しかったです。サップは、グループにひとつということでしたが、参加者の皆さんで順番に使い満喫できました。シュノーケリングは、亀もバッチリ見え一緒に泳ぐことができ感激でした。ガイドさんも面白くおすすめのツアーです。

It was a day with a few clouds. The captain and crew were very accommodating, and they communicated in English with smiles, which eased my worries and made it feel like we understood each other. The visibility underwater was poor, so I couldn't see much. After getting back on the boat, the cold was incredibly intense, so I recommend that participants bring a dry T-shirt or a dry jacket.

I was able to see sea turtles up close! There were plenty of drinks and snacks, and it was fun on the boat too! We also did trick-or-treating!

間近で海亀を見ることができました！
ドリンクやスナックも豊富で船の上も楽しかったです！

In the early morning, there are courses available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and I chose the morning to head to "Kaneohe"! The ocean was even more beautiful than I imagined, and there was plenty of time to play and enjoy the sea. The guide informed us that there’s a high chance of encountering "honu" (sea turtles), and while looking at the surface of the water, everyone suddenly pointed at the sea (laughs). This time, I participated with my family, and we returned feeling warm and happy. I was a bit concerned about the restroom situation, but overall, it was a lot of fun!

　早朝、午前、午後とコースがある中で、午前を選択して、いざ、「カネオヘ」へ！想像以上に海はきれいで、遊ぶ時間もたっぷりあり、海を満喫できます。高確率で「ホヌ」に出会えるとガイドさんに教えていただき、水面を見ているとみんながいっせいに海を指さしていました（笑）今回は、家族で参加しましたが、ほっこりして帰ってきました。少しトイレ事情が悪いのが気になりますが、かなり楽しめますよ！

The staff were the best! They were professional & knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a memorable experience just being in this scenic, beautiful area. Even the BBQ was excellent. When I come back, I will do it all over again. NOTE: the bus driver, Richard, who shuttled us, kept us entertained.

The Kualoa Experience was amazing, The tours that we did on the day had exceptional knowledgeable guides.
We also had the lunch which was delicious. We had know idea that there was that many movies and series made at the ranch.

It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

Four years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to experience this. We had such a wonderful time that this time, I was very happy to participate in the tour with our family of five, and it was incredibly fun. The instructor was very supportive of our grandchildren, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a tour we want to go on whenever we come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、私達は夫婦は四年前に体験させて頂いております。とっても楽しい時間を過ごしましたので
今回は家族５人でツアー参加できた事、とっても嬉しかったですし、とっても楽しいかったです。
インストラクターのお姉さんが孫達をしっかりサポートしてくださっていたので、ありがたかったです。ハワイに来たら必ず行きたいツアーですね。ありがとうございました。

It was disappointing that some attractions were under maintenance and we couldn't experience them, but we had a really fun time. My grandchildren were also very happy. Some people might wonder why you would go to Hawaii just for a pool, but there aren't many pools like this in Japan, so I was very satisfied.

Also, since it was a plan with transportation included, I wasn't sure when to give the tip. I was hoping to meet the guide on the way back, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see her. I ended up giving the tip to the taxi driver, but I'm not sure what happens to that tip. We also went to the Heaven's Beach Sandbar this time, and since we received guidance on tipping there, I thought it would be the same this time, so it felt a bit off.

メンテナンス中のものがあり出来なかったのは残念でしたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすしました。孫達も大喜びでした。ハワイに来てプール？という人もいるかもしれないですが、日本にはなかなかこんなプールないので大変満足しました。
それから、送迎付きでのプランだったのですが、チップを渡すタイミングが分からなくて帰りガイドのお姉さんに会えると思って待っていましたが会えなくて残念でした。タクシーの方に渡しましたが、このチップはどうなるのか分からない部分です。今回も天国の海サンドバーにも行きましたがチップの案内をして貰えたので、また言って貰えるものだと思っていましたのでしっくりいかなかったです。

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.
