All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Enjoyed the show more than anything. The food was okay. Noodles and bread were cold. Also the drink menu was limited. Enjoyed the bus ride there and even more on the way back as our bus driver dropo us of right in front of our hotel. The venue was also shared by a water park which in my opinion was a lot little tacky

Great show, solid food, mixed drinks good, interactive displays fun. We got the gold package which was nice, but silver would have been almost as good. It's awesome that the botanical garden tickets were included with the show tickets. Get there early to get parking otherwise it fills up fast. The entertainers put in a lot of effort and they have some great skills.

I participated on July 20, 2023.
The wind was a bit strong, but the weather was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling at the sandbar and Half Moon Reef.
The sandbar was shallow enough to reach my knees, and I had fun taking photos and practicing snorkeling. The water clarity was amazing.
The BBQ hamburger lunch was incredibly delicious, and as expected, American hamburgers are exceptional.
While snorkeling at Half Moon Reef, I was able to see many beautiful fish around the coral reef.

2023.7.20に参加しました。
風が少し強かったですが天気は快晴で、サンドバーとハーフムーンリーフのシュノケーリングを満喫しました。
サンドバーは膝下が浸かる位の深さで、写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして楽しみました。海の透明度が凄かったです。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーランチはパティがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。やっぱり、アメリカのハンバーガーは絶品です。
ハーフムーンリーフのシュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の回りをシュノーケリングして、綺麗な魚を沢山見る事ができました。

We finally made it to Hawaii for our honeymoon! ⭐︎ We booked this trip based on my husband's desire to swim with dolphins. We headed out on a boat and spotted dolphins! They were so cute swimming on the surface ^_^ On the day of our activity, the water was a kilometer deep and the waves were high, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the support from the staff, we were able to get into the water. Although we couldn't swim with the dolphins, we now have a goal to come back to Hawaii for a second try! They even set up a slide and diving board from the boat. My husband had the most fun of anyone! It seems the activity was incredibly enjoyable ^_^ We got to swim in the middle of the vast ocean in Hawaii, creating unforgettable memories! Our Japanese guide, Minako, was truly wonderful! She was bright, fun, and made all our fears about the ocean disappear! Thank you so much! ♪

It was really, really fun! Thank you for the wonderful memories! We'll definitely come back!

新婚旅行で念願のハワイに⭐︎
イルカと泳ぎたい！という主人の願望の元、予約させて頂きました。
ボートで向かい、イルカを発見！水面を泳いでいるイルカが可愛かった^_^
参加した当日は水深1キロもあり、波も高く怖かったですが、スタッフの方のサポートもあり、海に入ることが出来ました。
イルカと泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、またリベンジしにハワイに行く！という目標が出来ました♪
ボートからの滑り台や飛び込み台をだしてくれて。
主人が誰よりも楽しんでいました！笑
アクティビティーが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったみたいです^_^
ハワイの広い海のど真ん中で泳ぐことが出来て、一生の思い出を目に焼き付けました！
日本人ガイドのミナコさん！
本当に素敵な方！明るくて、楽しくて、海の怖さも吹っ飛ばしてくれました！
ありがとうございました♪

本当に本当に楽しかったです！
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました♪
また行きます！

The shuttle is great
Food is really good
Staff is amazing

We had a great time
They need to add more beach activities
Kayaking etc

The bus picked us up right in front of the hotel, which was very helpful. The inside of the bus was cold, just like "theBUS," so I recommend bringing a jacket!

Since it was an early morning plan, I had a light breakfast at the hotel, but on the boat, they provided drinks, spam onigiri, snacks, and fruits. The hot coffee was really delicious! The couple sitting next to us brought sandwiches, and I thought it would have been nice to enjoy that on the boat instead of at the hotel.

The staff who spoke Japanese kindly explained about the life jackets, how to play, and movies filmed in the area.

I checked the tide online and made a reservation, but the tide level during my session was just about waist-high! It was my first time trying SUP, and since the water was only waist-deep, it was easy to retry after falling, and I had a lot of fun.

While I was playing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, a friendly staff member offered to take my picture and captured me standing on the board! (There was even a moment when I lost my balance and fell, which was funny.)

During snorkeling, I had a great encounter with sea turtles and fish.

After getting out of the water, it was cold, and the young man next to me was shivering a lot. I recommend bringing a jacket, not just a T-shirt, like in the bus! Also, some hotels lend out bath towels, so it might be good to ask about that.

After getting off the boat, I was able to change at a nearby restroom. I had a really enjoyable experience and was very satisfied.

ホテルの前までバスで迎えに来ていただいて、助かります。
車内は「theBUS」同様 寒かったので、
羽織りを持っていくことをオススメします！

早朝プランだったので、ホテルで軽く朝食を食べてきていましたが
船では、ドリンク・スパムおにぎり・スナック・フルーツなどを用意してくれていました。
ホットコーヒーがとても美味しかったです！
同乗していたご夫婦は、サンドイッチなども持参されていて、
船上で気持ちがいいし、ホテルで食べずにそれもアリだったな〜！と思いました。

日本語を話せるスタッフさんが、
救命具のこと、遊び方、周辺で撮影された映画のことなど優しく説明してくれました。

一応潮の満ち引きはネットで調べて予約をしましたが、
私が参加した回は潮の高さはちょうど腰ほどでした！
SUPは初挑戦でしたが、落ちても潮が腰の高さなので
リトライしやすく、とても楽しかったです。

防水ケースにスマホを入れて遊んでいたら、
気さくなスタッフの方が「写真撮りますよ」と声をかけてくださって、
ボードの上に立っている姿を撮影してくれました！(バランス崩して落ちる瞬間も笑)

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメ、魚にバッチリ逢えました。

海から上がったあとは寒くて、隣の青年がめちゃくちゃ震えていました。
Tシャツだけでなく、バス内同様 羽織りの持参がオススメです…！
また、バスタオルを貸し出してくれるホテルもあるので聞いてみると良いかと思います。

船を降りた後、すぐ近くのお手洗いで着替えができました。
とっても楽しい体験ができて満足です。

We had a wonderful time. Great family entertainment. The food was good too. It was top notch entertainment with the local feel. Hawaii should be proud of the information given for the Polynesian culture. It was very enlightening and entertaining. I'd recommend this luau to anyone who is visiting the island. Please be kind to the staff, they are stars too. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

There is almost no support in Japanese. We participated as a family with children, but since we couldn't understand English, the kids got bored. I wouldn't recommend it if you can't speak English. Unless you really want to see the dance here, I wouldn't recommend it.

We were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and there was a show available for about the same price, so I regretted not going there as it would have saved us travel time.

日本語対応はほぼありません。
家族旅行で子連れで参加しましたが、英語が理解できないので、子供もあきてしまいました。英語ができない場合はおすすめしません。　　
英語で鑑賞したい、どうしてもここのダンスをみたいという希望でなければ、おすすめしません。

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まっており、同じくらいの値段でショーがあったので、そちらでみたら移動時間も省けたのでと後悔しました。

The highlight of this trip for me was definitely the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
While snorkeling, you can take underwater photos with your iPhone using a waterproof case. I even managed to capture a photo of a sea turtle.
Depending on the weather, it can get quite cold, so I recommend bringing a bath towel. As for other essentials, just cash for tips, your iPhone, and a waterproof case should be enough. I also brought a change of clothes, but there isn't a designated place to change, so we ended up wrapping ourselves in bath towels on the way back.
They also provide some light snacks, spam musubi, and soft drinks, so I think a light breakfast will suffice.
There was also a Japanese guide who was very kind and helpful.
I definitely think you won't regret participating!!!

今回の旅行で1番楽しみにしていたのが、このサンドバーでした。天気は残念ながら雨でしたが、十分楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリング中、防水ケースを使えば自分のiPhoneで水中の写真も撮れます。ウミガメの写真も撮れました。
天気によってはかなり体が冷えるので、バスタオルを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。他の持ち物はチップ用の現金、iPhone、防水ケースさえあればどうにかなります。着替えも持って行きましたが、着替える場所が用意されているわけではないので私達はバスタオルにくるまったまま帰りました。
ちょっとしたスナック菓子、スパムむすび、ソフトドリンクも準備していただけるので朝ご飯は軽く済ませるくらいで平気だと思います。
日本人のガイドさんもいらっしゃって、とても親切にしていただきました。
絶対に参加して後悔はしないと思います！！！

My husband and I participated together. I was worried since it was my husband's first time snorkeling, but the captain and the crew helped us by pulling the boat, allowing us to see the fish and corals clearly while swimming.

We also saw turtles. The snacks on the boat were delicious. Everyone spoke Japanese well and provided great support, making it an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

旦那と2人で参加しました。
旦那はシュノーケル初めてだったので心配でしたが、キャプテン達がボートで引っ張ってくださり、泳ぎながら魚やサンゴをしっかり見ることができました。

亀も見えました。船の上の軽食も美味しかったです。
皆さん日本語が上手で、しっかりサポートしてくれるので楽しめました。ありがとうございました！

Absolutely amazing combination. Scenery and guides were excellent. Bit disappointed in the movie tour as part of sets deteriorated because of passage of time. Also thought you would see more of current sets. Farm Tour was very interesting which also included some movie sets. Lunch was excellent.

Overall great day out and fantastic place that is trying to maintain green friendly eco systems and preserve area for future generations.

Would definitely go again as there were other trips like zip lining which we did not have time to do,

I went stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. It was a lot of fun. After that, I went snorkeling. The last time I participated, we moved a bit further by boat, but this time we walked from the sandbar to a slightly deeper area. Unfortunately, there weren't many fish, which was disappointing. I preferred the previous location.

サンドバーでサップをしました。とても楽しかったです。その後、スノーケリングでした。以前参加したときは、船でもう少し移動したのですが、今回はサンドバーから歩いて少し深いところまで行きました。あまり魚はいなくて残念でした。前の場所の方が良かったなぁ。

The sunset view was beautiful and the crew was nice, but when I booked a cocktail cruise, I wasn’t expecting a boat full of children. There was a group of over 30 that had around 15 children with them and they took up all of the seating. One spilled a sticky drink down my husband’s leg. I love children, but like I said, I wasn’t expecting it due to the advertisement of this being a cocktail cruise. I will read more carefully before I book a similar cruise in the future.

I checked the low tide in Hawaii and participated in a tour at the time it was at its lowest during my stay. The tide goes out around 8:30, so I was picked up at 5:45. After picking up other participants in the city, we arrived at the sea before 8:00.

After boarding, we headed to the sandbar. The captain provided explanations in English, which were quite fast and hard to understand, but a female staff member explained in Japanese for the Japanese participants.

At the sandbar, we spent the first 45 minutes playing in the water on stand-up paddleboards. The water depth that day was about 20 cm. After that, we put on well-floated life jackets and went snorkeling along the coral reef. There weren't many brightly colored fish, but a turtle came close, although we were told not to touch it.

We returned to Waikiki before noon, allowing us to enjoy more activities like meals and the pool for half a day. On the boat, there was one spam onigiri, chips, and drinks available.

ハワイの干潮を確かめて、今回のハワイ滞在中で一番下がる時間を確認してツアーに参加しました。8時半頃に引くので、5時45分のピックアップでした。
市内の他の参加客のピックアップして8時前に海に到着しました。
乗船後、サンドバーに向かいました。キャプテンは英語の説明で、結構早口で理解しづらかったですが、女性のスタッフが日本語で日本人参加客に説明してくれました。
サンドバーについて、最初の45分はスタンドアップパドルボートでの水遊びでした。この日は20cmほどの水深でした。
その後、しっかりしたよく浮くライフジャケットを着けて、珊瑚礁に沿ってシュノーケリングしました。明るい色の魚は少ない状態でしたが、カメは触ってはいけないのですが、当たりそうなところに上がってきてくれました。
お昼前にはワイキキに帰るれるので、さらに半日食事やプールなども楽しめました。なお、船上ではスパムおにぎり1個とチップスとドリンクなどがありました。

So very glad I booked this excursion.
This was definitely by far one of our best excursions. We were able to see and learn so much about all the different movies filmed at this location. The trips were well timed and spaced apart enough that they did not overlap into one another. The guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was really good with great selections. I feel like a trip to O’ahu is not complete without this excursion. Will definitely recommend this excursion to others visiting Hawai’i.

There are a lot of amazing reviews, but I didn't find it to be that great.

Reason 1: "The boat is too small, and there isn't enough space to change or sit." Since this is a quite profitable tour, I wish they would use a bigger and more functional boat. Even when it starts to rain, if there are many customers, there isn't enough space for everyone to get under the roof.

Reason 2: "They don't lend wetsuits." Since we swim in quite deep water, I think they should provide wetsuits for safety. However, as mentioned earlier, the boat is small and there are no showers. Improvements are needed for both the boat itself and safety management.

The hamburger was similar to Mos Burger. It was tasty, but it felt pretty average.

The bus, like others have mentioned in their reviews, was cold. It would be nice if we could take our time changing on the boat, but the boat's restroom is cramped, making it difficult to change. There are no showers on the boat either.

The time we could swim was not very long. We saw turtles, but there weren't many fish. The sandbar wasn't as heavenly as one might expect, and it wasn't that stunningly beautiful.

Reason 3: The timing is too late. If they departed earlier, I think there would be more fish, but we arrive at the sandbar close to noon, so I believe the timing is too late. By the time we start snorkeling, the sea has already begun to get murky. It would be better to leave around 7 AM.

The guide (?), a Japanese woman, was very kind, but she was in a bikini from start to finish, which made me wonder, "Why?" The foreign female staff member was also in a thong bikini. She has a great figure, but I don't think it's necessary to be in a bikini the whole time (especially on the boat). Is the bikini style part of the service? That must be tough.

ものすごくよい口コミが多いですが、それほどでもなかったです。

その理由1 「船が小さすぎて着替える場所も座る場所も十分ではない」ということ。かなり儲かっているツアーなので、もっとでかくて機能的な船にしてほしい。
雨が降ってきても、客が多いと全員が屋根の下に入れるスペースもない。

理由2「ウェットスーツは貸してくれない」
結構水深の深いところで泳ぐので、安全のためにもウェットスーツを貸してくれるべきだと思う。
だけど、前述のとおり船は小さいし、シャワーもついてない。船自体と安全管理について
の改善が必要。

ハンバーガーは、モスバーガーみたいでした。おいしかったけど、これもふつうかなという感じ。

バスは、他の人の口コミと同じように、寒い。なので、船でゆっくり着替えたりできると良いのですが、船のトイレは狭いので、着替えにくかった。船にはシャワーもついてない。

泳いでられる時間もそんなに長くない。亀はみれたけど、魚もそんなにいなかった。サンドバーも天国といえるほどではなく、そんなに感動的なほどきれいでもない。

その3　時間帯が遅すぎる。
もっと早い時間帯に出発すれば、魚もいるんじゃないかと思うけど、正午近くにサンドバーに着くので、これも時間設定が遅すぎると思う。シュノーケリングするころには、既に海はにごりはじめている。
７時とか出発にすれば良いんじゃないか。

ガイドさん（？）は、日本人の女性がとても親切でしたが、最初から最後までビキニで、「なんでかな？」と思いました。スタッフの外国人の女性もひもパンでした。スタイル良いけど、ずっとビキニでいる必要はないのでは・・・（特に船上）。ビキニスタイルもサービスの一環なのかな？　大変ですね。

These guys have the operation perfected. I recommend. taking the very first shuttle in the morning and sacrificing a little sleep to do so. The payoff will be no one in the bay and everything to yourself for the first 30 to 40 minutes. Even after that, you will still have the crowds beat.

The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but I was able to fully enjoy ocean activities like snorkeling, floating with a ring, and stand-up paddleboarding! During snorkeling, the captain pointed out a sea turtle hiding and sleeping among the rocks, and I was moved to see the turtle up close.
This was my mistake, but I didn't check the time for when the sandbar would appear, so I couldn't walk on the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to check the low tide time before participating!
Also, the staff's service was wonderful!! The spam onigiri and coffee they prepared were delicious!
However, we departed with two boats, one exclusively for Japanese guests and the other for non-Japanese guests. Personally, I believe that spending time with people from various countries is one of the great pleasures of traveling abroad, so it was disappointing that all the passengers were Japanese. That said, I think some passengers felt reassured to be among all Japanese guests, and on the Japanese boat, there was a staff member who was very fluent in Japanese, creating a comfortable environment for many! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、シュノーケリング、浮き輪、SUPで海のアクティビティを満喫できました！また、シュノーケリングではキャプテンの方がウミガメが岩間に隠れて寝ているところを教えてくださり、間近でウミガメを見られて感動しました。
これはわたしのミスですが、サンドバーが現れる時間を調べていなかったため、砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。今度はきちんと干潮の時間を調べてから参加したいです！
また、スタッフの方々のご対応は素晴らしかったです！！用意してくださっていたスパムおにぎりやコーヒーも美味しかったです！
ただ、2隻の船で出発したのですが、片方が日本人のお客さんオンリー、もう片方は日本人以外のお客さんといった形で振り分けられており、個人的には様々な国の方々と同じ空間で過ごせることも海外旅行の大きな醍醐味だと思っているため、乗客が全員日本人の方だったのは残念でした。とはいえ、乗客が全員日本人で安心した方もいると思いますし、日本人号には日本語が大変流暢なスタッフさんがおり、多くの方にとって安心できる環境だったとも思います！素敵な体験をありがとうございました！

We had such a great time on this snorkeling trip! It was very planned, the crew was polite, accommodating and very friendly and the lunch was delicious. Our whole experience was incredibly enjoyable. Word of advice to the future participants- listen carefully to the instructions before snorkeling and you’ll see a lot under the water. We saw many fish and a turtle. It was amazing!

The hamburger I had for lunch was amazing! I wasn't expecting much, but it was overwhelmingly better than the burgers around here!

ランチに出るハンバーガー最高でした！
期待してなかったけど、その辺のハンバーガーより圧倒的に美味しかった！

It was beautiful to get to see the land and our tour guide was amazing and sweet

I received several emails from Veltra and the operating company informing me of the early morning meeting time, stating "Meet at Honolulu Airport at 5:30." However, the day before, I received a short message saying, "Meet at 5:00!" When I arrived in Honolulu and spoke during the reconfirmation call, I was told it was 5:30, but shortly after, I was told it was 5:00, so I hurriedly called back.

The office was supposed to be available for calls until 14:30, so I planned to confirm at 2:17, but no one answered the phone. With no other options, I decided to leave my hotel in Honolulu at 4:30 to match the earlier meeting time. I thought it was different from the voucher I received, but in the end, it seemed that 5:30 was fine. I suspect there was a typo in the short message, but I wish they had confirmed before sending it. It was very frustrating.

As for the Kauai Island tour, the driver and guide's fun personality allowed all 12 participants to have a great time throughout. Both the sightseeing and lunch exceeded my expectations. We were the only Japanese couple, but there was an international atmosphere with participants from various places. I highly recommend this tour if you're going to Kauai Island!

何度かベルトラさんや催行会社からメールをもらって、早朝の集合時間などのお知らせがあり「5:30にホノルル空港集合」と知らされていたのに、前日になってショートメッセージで、「5:00集合」とのメッセージが！
ホノルルに到着してすぐにリコンファメーションの電話で話した時にも5:30集合と言われたのに、そのあと少しして5:00集合と言われ、慌てて電話しました。
オフィスは14:30まで電話対応OKと書かれていたので、2:17に慌てて確認の電話をしようと思ったら、電話に誰も出なくて、どうしようもないので念のため早めの集合に合わせて、ホノルルのホテルを4時半に出ました。
もらったバウチャーと違うなとは思ってましたが、結論としては、5:30でよかったみたいでした。
多分ショートメッセージにタイプし間違えたのだと思いますが、ちゃんと確認してから送って欲しかったです。
とても困りました。
カウアイ島観光は、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの楽しい人柄に、終始12人の参加者は楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
観光も、お昼ご飯も、期待以上に満足できました。
日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、色々なところから集まったインターナショナルな雰囲気でした。
カウアイ島へ行くならこのツアーがおすすめです♪

It was disappointing that some facilities were closed, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and was very kind in assisting us. I had a great time feeding and touching the dolphins; it was a very enjoyable experience. Next time, I would like to participate in a tour to swim with the dolphins when my grandchild is older.

一部施設がクローズだったのが残念でしたが、現地スタッフで日本語が出来る方がいて大変親切に対応して頂きました。
イルカに餌をあげたり触ることも出来、大変楽しい経験が出来ました。
今度は孫も大きくなったらイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加したいと思います。

It is a memorable day for us, we went to Arizona memorial, bowfin submarine in the morning, we had lunch at the hangers, then visited the battleship. We don’t need to worry about the tickets, shuttle and lunch, all have been arranged well, we have enough time to visit everywhere we like, I highly recommend the trip.

The Polynesian show is very impressive，all the staff on board are nice, because of the weather we didn’t saw the beautiful sunset, but we saw the rainbow. we did not like food, anyhow it is a nice journey !

First of all, we passed Hanauma Bay and stopped at the Lanai Lookout, which was an unexpected bonus that I wouldn't have ever seen, being on a work trip with a very brief window to go out on a Sunday. I'm very grateful to him for a joyful trip, the extra stop (thank you!!!!!), and the information he shared en route to Hanauma Bay, about where different creatures may be seen, areas of the bay, types of fish, and even local characters (yes, fish). One of the fish characters (I think a Humuhumu? but I could be wrong) was described as a chihuahua who will pester you if you cross paths, LOL! The bay is simply some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever snorkeled in the company of. Just incredible. 11/10. Thank you for an amazing experience.

There were Japanese staff members, and I was able to hear the explanations in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. The sea was beautiful, just like in the photos. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

クルーには日本人の方もいて、事前の説明等日本語で聞くことができ終始安心感がありました。
海も写真の通り綺麗でした。
また機会が有れば参加したいです！

I went snorkeling to see fish, and I was able to swim with a considerable number of honu (sea turtles)! The crew spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy the activity with peace of mind! One thing I felt was that changing clothes, which was optional, is actually a must. (It's cold to return on an air-conditioned bus in a swimsuit.)

魚をみるためのシュノーケリング目的で行ったのですが、かなりの数のホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができました！
クルーの方も日本語が通じたので安心してアクティビティを楽しめました！
ひとつ感じたことは、持ち物で任意だった着替えは必須です。(水着で冷房のきいたバスで帰るのは寒いです)

Thank you for the enjoyable tour. Everyone was very friendly and it felt great. I had a child with me, and they were very considerate, which was a big help. Thank you very much. However, I was a bit disappointed that the weather was cloudy and cold, and the tide wasn't fully out.

この度は楽しいツアーありがとうございました。
色んな方に気さくに話されており凄くいい感じの方でした。子どもが居たのですが凄く気にもかけて下さり助かりました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天気が曇りで寒かったのと潮が引き切っておらずだったところが残念に思いました。

Nice and easy to have ready for the event! Thanks for the help in setting up.
