All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

This was the best tour I have done while living here on Oahu! We wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. The Crew was so friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this tour to all our future visitors! Additionally, the lunch was bomb!! Cheeseburgers using local beef and fresh vegetables. They are local, they support local and are the true definition of Aloha!

This tour involves walking through the tropical rainforest in Honolulu to reach Manoa Falls, followed by enjoying delicious sandwiches (acai bowls) at the spacious Tantalus Lookout. The contrast between the jungle and the view from the hill was quite interesting.

During the trekking, our guide Daisuke provided various explanations, which was very helpful. Without a guide, I think the experience would have been less enjoyable. It seems there has been little rainfall recently, so unfortunately, the waterfall had a lower water volume, but trekking through the jungle was very enjoyable.

The path was quite rocky and muddy, making it difficult to walk, so I recommend borrowing a walking stick. Insect repellent spray was also available for us to use.

ホノルルの熱帯雨林の道を歩いてマノアの滝に到着、その後広々としたタンタラスの丘で美味しいサンドイッチ（アサイーボウル）を楽しむツアーです。ジャングルの中と丘からの眺めとその対比もなかなか面白かったです。
トレッキング中はガイドのだいすけさんが色々な説明をしてくれてとても良かったです。ガイドさん無しだと歩いて終わりで楽しさもそこそこだったと思います。最近の雨量が少なかったそうで滝は残念ながら水量が少なめでしたが、ジャングルの中のトレッキングはとても楽しめました。
道が結構ゴツゴツしていてぬかるみも多く歩きにくいので、ステッキを貸してもらうことをお勧めします。虫除けスプレーも貸してもらえました。

There were many slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, and I had a lot of fun. It's a bit disappointing that the opening hours were a little short. There were also pools and slides that weren't open, so I would like to visit again.

なかなか日本では体験できないようなスライダーがたくさんあってとても楽しめました。開園時間が少し短いのが残念でした。
やってなかったプールやスライダーもあったので、また行ってみたいと思います。

I participated with my husband, daughter, and middle school grandson. The sandbar wasn't at low tide, but it felt safe in the shallow water. I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) too, so we all enjoyed it as a family. Later, my husband and I watched our daughter and grandson enjoy snorkeling from the boat, and it was so much fun! They were thrilled to see many turtles.

Above all, I was very satisfied with the staff member who spoke Japanese; she explained everything clearly and interestingly. My daughter and grandson both said they want to do it again! Thank you for all your help.

主人と娘と中学生の孫と参加しました。サンドバーは干潮ではなかったけど、浅瀬で安心感がありました。SUPは私もやってみたかったので家族で楽しみました。その後シュノーケルは私と主人は船から娘と孫が楽しんでいるのを見てましたが、とっても楽しかった！亀をたくさん見れたと大喜びでした。
何より日本語の話せる女性のスタッフが分かりやすく面白く色々話をしてくれとても満足でした。
またやりたい！と娘も孫も言ってます。
色々お世話になりました。

The snorkeling time was relatively long, and I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. However, it was a bit cold in the evening. The sunset from the cruise was also very beautiful, making it a wonderful memory. The staff took photos for us, and since there is a sale at the end, I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash or a credit card if you want to purchase them.

シュノーケルの時間も比較的長く、ウミガメも間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ただ、夕方のため少し寒かったです。
クルーズからのサンセットもとてもきれいに見ることができ最高の思い出になりました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、最後に販売があるので欲しい方はクレジットカードや現金を少し持っていった方がいいと思います。

Arizona ferry ride and memorial were just breathtaking

Really had a great evening- the VIP seats were awesome as you could really see all the smile and hear the evening spectacularly!

A great see when staying on Oahu, holds great American history

Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit

My son loved this, he was smiling ear to ear, and the dolphin lagoons are just gorgeous

Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

The staff were friendly, and they took several photos for us. Everything was in English, so I thought I should have brought a translation device since I didn't understand English, but the scenery was very beautiful. For some reason, we couldn't go to Jurassic World, but I'm glad we were able to go on our honeymoon.

フレンドリーなスタッフさんで、写真も何枚か取ってもらえました。全部英語なので、英語がわからなかったので、翻訳機持っていけばよかったと思いましたが、景色がとてもきれいでした。ジュラシックワールドはなぜか行けなかったのですが、ハネムーンで行けてよかったです。

The pickup car arrived about 15 minutes after the meeting time. (I was a bit worried, but) I think it's best to relax and wait, thinking it's HAWAII TIME. Despite the early morning, the driver was in high spirits, which lifted my mood!

If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. Our family all took it, so we didn't experience any seasickness at all, but about 4 to 5 people were unable to move due to it.

When we spotted dolphins, we jumped in one by one. Those who jumped in earlier had a higher chance of seeing them, but those who didn't see them were prioritized to jump in next, so everyone was able to see the dolphins.

We were very satisfied to see both dolphins and sea turtles!

All the staff were very kind, and I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

It gets cold when you come back onto the boat from the sea, so a jacket and a bath towel are essential.

Thank you to all the staff.

集合時間から15分後くらいに
ピックアップの車が到着しました。
(ちょっと心配ですが)HAWAII TIMEだと思って気楽な気持ちで待てばいいと思います。
早朝にも関わらず運転手さんは
ハイテンションで気分が上がりました！

船酔いの心配がある方は
酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
私たち家族は全員飲んでいたので
全く船酔いしませんでしたが
4～5名船酔いで
動けなくなっていました。

イルカだー！となると
順番に飛び込みます。
やはり早く飛び込んだ方が
見れる確率は上がりますが
見れなかった人は次に飛び込む時は
優先して飛び込ませてもらえるので
全員がイルカを見ることができました。

イルカもウミガメも見られて
大満足です！

スタッフも皆とても親切で
またハワイに行ったら必ず参加したいと
思います。

海から船に上がると寒いので、
上着&バスタオル必須です。


スタッフの皆さん
ありがとうございました。

MAHALO

During snorkeling, we were able to see many turtles up close. The staff kindly taught my wife, who is not a strong swimmer, and they also kept a watchful eye on her, which made us feel safe. Above all, both the captain and the staff spoke Japanese well, and there were also Japanese staff members, which added to our sense of security. This is a recommended activity if you visit Hawaii. However, due to the tides, it's not guaranteed that sandbars will appear as shown in the promotional photos, so you might need to be a little cautious about that.

シュノーケリングでは、沢山の亀が近くで見られました。泳ぎの苦手な妻にも親切に教えてくれて、また、安全を見守ってくれているので安心です。何より、キャプテンもスタッフも日本語が上手な上に日本人スタッフもいて、安心度合いが違います。ハワイに行ったらオススメのアクティビティです。ただし、潮の満ち引きの関係もあるのでイメージ写真の様なサンドバーが現れるとは限りませんのでその辺は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time. I compared many sandbar tours, but I decided on this one because it offered both sandbar and snorkeling with plenty of time to enjoy both in the best conditions! In the end, it was a great choice!!!

There were two boats, one with Japanese support and one with English support, and the explanations in Japanese made it even more enjoyable!

The sandbar was just at high tide, so the water was about waist-deep, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took lots of photos for us! The time spent there was more than enough, and we even had time to practice snorkeling!

After that, we were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and even though it was from the boat, we could see them perfectly!

Finally, we had the snorkeling experience. We were able to see many fish while circling around a large coral reef. They provided fins and life jackets, making it very enjoyable even for beginners, so I highly recommend it. There was plenty of time for this as well, and it was fantastic.

The hamburger for lunch was, of course, excellent. By the way, I wore marine shoes, but I ended up taking them off to enjoy the experience, so they weren't necessary!

Lastly, the staff member Yukiko was very kind! It was the best! Thank you so much♪

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイで参加しました。
サンドバーツアーは他にもあり、めちゃくちゃ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、シュノーケリングで場所を変えるし、時間もたっぷりとってあったので、どちらもベストな状態で楽しめるのではないかと思ったのが決め手でした！結果、大正解！！！
日本語対応のボートと英語対応のボートと2台あり、いろんな説明を日本語でしてくださったのもより楽しめてとても良かったです！！！
サンドバーはちょうど満潮のタイミングだったので、腰くらいまでありましたが、とても綺麗で、スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれます！滞在時間も十分すぎるくらいで、シュノーケリングの練習する時間もありました！
そのあとウミガメが見れるスポットに連れてっていただき、船の上からですが、バッチリ見れました！
最後はシュノーケリング体験です。大きな珊瑚礁の周りをまわりながら、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。フィンとライフジャケットを貸していただき、初心者でもとっても楽しめるのでオススメです。こちらもたっぷり時間があり、最高でした。
ランチのハンバーグももちろん最高です。
ちなみにマリンシューズを履いて行きましたが、脱いで楽しんだので、不要でした！
最後に、スタッフのyukikoさんはとっても親切でした！最高！ありがとうございました♪

Even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it!
I was amazed by the beautiful fish that were very close by. I saw angelfish and butterflyfish swimming over the coral, as well as a sea turtle popping its head out of the water and a stingray flapping its fins. Yukiko, who guided us in Japanese, was very interesting, and the captain and all the staff were kind. The hamburger lunch was also very delicious. It was the end of September, but it was quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a warm jacket for comfort.

泳ぎが苦手な方でも楽しめます！
すごく近くに綺麗な魚がたくさんいて感動しました。エンゼルフィッシュ、チョウチョウウオが珊瑚の上を泳いでいたり、ウミガメが海から顔を出す姿、エイのピチピチ鰭を出す姿も見ることができました。日本語で案内をしてくれたユキコさんもとても面白くて、キャプテンやスタッフ皆さん親切でした。ハンバーガーランチもとても美味しかったです。9月末でしたが結構寒かったので暖かい上着も持っておくと安心です。

I went at the timing of the lowest tide during my stay, and it was about waist-deep. The staff mentioned it was shallow, so it might not be possible to see the sandy beach. However, even from a distance, the color of the sea here is completely different, which makes the journey exciting. I was wondering where we would do stand-up paddleboarding, so it was quite understandable.

The edge of this reef is a coral reef (with steep cliffs), and there are many sea turtles there. Everyone swims along with the staff, so it's safe to observe (though it gets a bit congested... (laughs)). Sometimes they come close to the surface for air! (The staff said I was lucky.) Of course, we shouldn't touch them.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned halfway through, and I couldn't take any pictures of the sea turtles, which was disappointing, but I was able to remember it well, so that was enough for me.

The cheerful and energetic staff, delicious spam onigiri, and fun activities... I had a wonderful experience.

滞在中最も干潮になるタイミングで行きましたが、それで腰ぐらいの深さでした。スタッフさんは浅いよ〜っておっしゃっていたので砂浜が見えることは無いのかもしれません。ただ遠くから見てもここだけ全く海の色が違うので向かう途中からワクワクします。そもそもサップをどこでやるんだろう？と思っていたので、まあ納得でした。
この岩礁の縁は珊瑚礁になっていて（切立った崖）そこにウミガメが沢山います。スタッフさんについて皆並んで泳ぎますので危なげ無く見学できます（ちょっと渋滞しますが…（笑）)たまに呼吸で浮かんで近くに来ることも！（ラッキーだよとスタッフさんに言われました）もちろん触っちゃいけません。
今回途中でカメラの調子がおかしくなってウミガメを全く撮る事ができず残念でしたが、記憶にはしっかり残せたので十分です。
明るくて元気なスタッフさん達、美味しいスパムおにぎり、楽しいアクティビティ…素晴らしい経験をさせてもらえました。

I chose the day with the lowest tide during my trip to Hawaii and made a reservation, but at the lowest point, the water was up to my knees.

Since it was an early morning course, it was cold! The water felt quite cold until I got used to it.

We headed to the sandbar on two boats, and our boat spent about an hour taking photos and enjoying stand-up paddleboarding freely. The last hour was for snorkeling. We were able to see several sea turtles! They swam very close to us! It was a bit disappointing that the water where we were snorkeling was a little murky, but I was very satisfied because I got to see so many sea turtles. For those who can't swim, the guide provides solid support, so there are no issues.

On the boat, there were self-service rice balls, snacks, and drinks. I was very grateful for the hot drinks.

Most of the participants were Japanese. It became a wonderful memory!

ハワイ旅行の日程の中で1番潮の引いている日にちを選んで予約しましたが
1番浅い時で膝ぐらいまでありました。

早朝のコースだったので寒かったです！
水も慣れるまでは冷たく感じました。

2つのボートでサンドバーへ向かい、私達のボートは
最初に約1時間弱、サンドバーで写真を撮ったりSUPに乗ったりと各々自由に過ごしました。
後半の1時間弱がシュノーケリングでした。
海亀を何匹も見ることができました！すぐ近くで泳いでくれます！
シュノーケリングしていたところの海水は少し濁っていたのが残念でしたが
たくさん海亀を見ることができたので大満足です。
泳げない人はガイドさんがしっかりサポートしてくれるので問題ありません。

ボートにはセルフサービスでおにぎりとスナック、ドリンクがありました。
ホットドリンクがあったのがとてもありがたかったです。

参加者はほとんど日本人でした。
とっても良い思い出になりました！

The tour was mostly made up of Japanese people. There were a few crew members who could speak Japanese, and after the English explanation, there was also a Japanese explanation, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Even though I can't float with a life jacket, I was able to participate in snorkeling thanks to the life jackets provided! There was also practice time for those who are not good at swimming, so everyone, including those who said they were not good at swimming, participated. There were many fish, and I was able to swim with the honu, making it an amazing experience.

ツアーは日本人が大半でした。
クルーの人は日本語が話せる方が数名いて、英語の説明のあと、日本語の説明もあったので、英語が苦手なわたしでも安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
カナヅチで浮くことも出来ないわたしでも、ライフジャケットがあったのでシュノーケリングにも参加できました！泳ぎが苦手な人の為に練習時間もあったので、同じく泳ぎが苦手と言っていた方も含めて全員が参加していました。
魚もたくさんいて、ホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができて、最高な体験が出来ました。

Participation in mid-September.
We boarded a boat to search for dolphins, and when we found them, we dove into the sea.
Falling into the water, we swam tirelessly in the direction we were told.
Since we entered without any mental preparation, a few people panicked because they weren't used to it.
We saw a mother and baby dolphin swimming either deeper down or near the surface, but they weren't very close.
It felt like seeing dolphins underwater.
And it was cold. I was advised against renting a wetsuit because it can cause seasickness and costs $10, but I should have borrowed one.
I was shivering on the boat the whole time because it was too cold.
My husband seemed to feel nauseous as well, but when we moved to the snorkeling spot, he was told that it would be better to dive in, so he was made to jump in.
However, it was said that the sea was less rocky than on the boat, but it was still cold, which ultimately made him feel worse.
We could also see dolphins from the boat, so we still had quite a bit of fun.
We could take photos as well, but it was mostly the same person taking them. Everyone was getting pictures with bubble rings, but we didn’t have that.
The turkey wrap for lunch wasn’t tasty either...
If I go again, I think I’ll choose a different tour company that isn’t Dolphin University.

9月半ばの参加。
船に乗ってイルカを探して、見つかると海にダイブ。
海に落ちて、言われた方にひたすら泳ぎます。
心の準備もなく入るので慣れてないとパニックになる人が数人いました。
イルカは下の方または水面近くあたりを泳ぐ親子を見たりしましたが、さほど近くはないです。
海の中でイルカを見る感じ。
そして寒い。ウエットスーツは酔いやすいし10ドルかかるからと薦められませんでしたが、借りるべきでした。
寒すぎて船の上でずっと震えてました。
夫は酔いもあったようですが、シュノーケリングスポットに移動したとき、海に入ったほうがマシになると言われてダイブさせられてました。
しかし船の上より海のが揺れなくてまだマシだからとのことでしたが寒いので結局余計に体調不良に。
船からイルカを見ることもできたのでそれでも結構楽しめはしました。
あとは写真も撮ってもらえますが、同じ人ばかりでしたね。みんなバブルリングで撮ってもらってましたが私達は無かったです。
お昼のターキーラップも美味しくないし...
次また行くならイルカ大学ではないツアー会社にしようと思ってます。

There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.

The tour was amazing. There wasn't one moment of disappointment. Words can't describe how we felt when we saw the entrance to Jurassic Park. Our guide even picked fruit for us.

The shuttle from the hotel was lively and filled with fun conversations, and we arrived at the port in no time! The weather was great, and the ocean was beautiful! We participated in snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. During snorkeling, they taught us how to swim, and we were able to see many fish and sea turtles. The staff were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun! I will definitely join again when I come to Hawaii!

ホテルからの送迎もわきあいあい面白トーク炸裂であっという間に港に到着！天気も良く、海がとても綺麗！！私たちはシュノーケルとサップに参加しました。シュノーケルでは泳ぎ方から教えてくれ、たくさんの魚と海亀も見ることができました。スタッフの方がとても気さくでとても楽しかったです！またハワイに来た際は参加します！

Lots to do but equipment has seen better days. Bathrooms were portable

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

There are Japanese staff members who are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind. In addition to swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in the coral reef was relaxing with many turtles and tropical fish.

日本語が堪能な日本人スタッフさんが　いらっしゃいますので　安心して参加出来ます。
イルカと泳ぐ他にも　珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは
亀　熱帯魚が沢山いて癒されました。
