All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I participated in mid-May. The weather was nice, and I checked the low tide in advance, which was great. I'm not good at swimming and initially thought about skipping snorkeling, but the staff swam with me, allowing me to join in. I was happy to see the honu underwater. There were also inflatable toys available for rent, and even though it was just half a day, I had plenty of fun! Thank you! ♪

5月中旬に参加しました。
天気も良く、干潮を予め調べて参加したので良かったです。
泳ぐのが苦手でシュノーケリングも初めはやめようと思っていたのですが、スタッフさんが一緒に泳いでくださり参加することができました。
ホヌも水中で見ることが出来たので、嬉しかったです。
浮輪などの遊具も貸出しがあり、半日でしたが十分楽しめました！
ありがとうございました♪

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.

Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.

6/4（日）のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで（日本のホテルのバイキング／ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン）、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!

The staff were kind and entertaining. I had a great time until the end. The weather was nice, and when the staff said "look ahead" during snorkeling, I saw a big honu right in front of me. I would like to participate again.

スタッフさんは親切でエンターテイナーですね。
最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
お天気も良く、シュノーケルの時スタッフさんが"前見て"と言うので見たら目の前に大きなホヌが、、
また参加したいと思います。

This excursion was excellent! The crew was phenomenal, the stops made were so much fun and the lunch was great. A fun time was had by all! I would highly recommend!

I had an amazing time the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & Honolulu city Tour was more than informative. Our tour guide was awesome and she just knew what she was doing and talking about. I would do it again with her as the tour guide. LEI Thank you for being soooooooooo informative.

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.

I went on the 5-Star cruise. I made a reservation with the Celebration Plan (guaranteed window seat) and paid for it, but I was booked under the regular plan. While the manager was confirming my reservation, I couldn't eat the food in front of me for about 30 minutes after being seated. In the end, it turned out that the reservation from VELTRA to Star of Honolulu was under the regular plan, and I was treated as such until the end. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm very disappointed.

Also, it seems that the shuttle bus got caught in traffic, so by the time we arrived, dinner had already started, and other guests who arrived earlier were enjoying their meals.

I thought there might be a separate entrance for the 5-Star guests, but there wasn't anything like that. We all lined up at one entrance to board the ship.

The schedule mentioned that there would be a welcome reception by the captain on the exclusive deck on the top floor for 5-Star guests, but there was nothing of the sort. We were just guided to line up and proceed into the ship.

The food wasn't particularly delicious; it was average. It was mentioned that the meat could be cut with a fork, but it was more like something you could manage to cut with a knife.

I have been to Hawaii several times, and regarding the Hilton fireworks, I've seen them from various places, but sitting on the beach south of the Rainbow Tower is the best spot. Watching the fireworks from the cruise ship was an experience, but since it was from a distance, it lacked impact.

Additionally, guests from the lower deck were casually coming up the stairs to the 5-Star deck. There was a rope at the top of the stairs, but they seemed to know how to unhook it to get in and then rehook it. These were regular guests, not staff.

I was considering this might be my elderly mother's first and last overseas trip, so I regret spending a lot of money and time on this optional tour. I hope this review can be helpful to someone.

5スターで行ってきました。
セレブレーションプラン（窓際席確約）で予約し、その分の金額も支払いましたが、通常のプランで予約されており、あちらのマネージャーに予約したプランの確認をしてもらっている間、席についてからも30分ほど、目の前の料理を食べることができませんでした。
結局、VELTRAからスターオブホノルルへの予約が通常プランだったそうで、最後まで通常プランとしての扱いとなりました。
こんなことが起きるなんて、思いもしませんでした。非常に残念で仕方ありません。

また、恐らく送迎バスが渋滞に巻き込まれたせいで、私たちが到着した頃にはすでにディナーは始まっており、先に着いていた他のお客さんは食事を楽しんでました。

乗船する際に5スター用の入口でもあるのかなと思ってましたが、特にそのようなものはなく、大勢で列に並んで一か所の入り口から乗船しました。

5スターだと「最上階の専用デッキでキャプテンによるウェルカムレセプションがある」というスケジュールが記載されていますが、そんなものは一切ありません。列になって船内に進むように案内されました。

料理も、特別おいしいものではなかったですね。普通です。お肉がフォークで切れるという記載がありますが、ナイフでがんばって切れるぐらいの感じでした。

私自身は何度かハワイに行ったことがあり、ヒルトンの花火については、いろいろな場所から見てますが、レインボータワーの南側のビーチに座って見るのが一番ですね。
クルーズ船から花火を見れたことは一つの経験にはなりましたが、遠くから見ることになるので、全然迫力はないです。

それから、下の階のお客さんが、普通に5スターのデッキに階段を上ってきてました。一応階段を上がった先にロープがありますが、手慣れた感じでフックを外して入って、またフックをかけてました。スタッフの方ではなく、一般のお客さんです。

年老いた母を含めた、最初で最後の海外旅行だろうと考えてましたので、このようなオプショナルツアーに大金と時間を使ったことが残念で仕方がないです。
誰かの参考になればと思い、口コミを残します。

From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

The team at Captain Bruce were very nice and accommodating and made it an overall really nice experience. This sandbar cruise was me and my boyfriend's favorite activity that we did during our visit. I liked that there was an option for transportation, so that made it easy to get to and from the destination without having to worry about directions and parking. Our driver was friendly as well and pointed out different local sights in different languages so that everyone could understand as well. There were many different groups of people and the crew made it comfortable for everybody to feel included. They provided drinks and snacks, and on the boat ride to the sandbar they gave some educational facts about the area and we saw turtles and other wildlife as well. When we got the the sandbar, there were plenty of paddleboards and floaties for us to use and we had more than enough time to enjoy the water. We got lots of pictures, had fun in the water and the views were great. I could tell that the others also had a fun time snorkeling too. On the way back, our driver even stopped for us to get some dessert as well. This would be an enjoyable experience for anybody, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family as well.

The service was excellent, the food was great, the ambiance was unforgettable - need I say more,

Amazing cruise, had a lot of fun with friends. Dance performances are really good. Not many food options for vegetarian/vegan people. I think they can even improve the quality of non-vegetarian food.

The crew was wonderful. The Japanese photographer, Minako, and everyone were kind and worked hard to find dolphins and turtles so we could swim with them! It was the best!

日本人のカメラマン美奈子さん
みんな優しくて一生懸命にイルカ、カメを探して一緒に泳げるようにしてくださいましたました！
最高‼️

We arrive at the park in time for the opening. The shuttle car is very cold. It's chilly.
Drinks inside the park are expensive, so let's bring a water bottle or a plastic bottle. There are hydration spots at the restaurant.
Interacting with the dolphins can get you somewhat wet as they splash water around. I think the price is reasonable.

開園に合わせてパークに到着します。送迎の車はクーラーガンガンです。寒いです。
パーク内で飲み物は高いので水筒やペットボトルを持っていきましょう。レストランに吸水スポットがあります。
イルカとのふれあいはイルカが水をバシャバシャしてくるのでまぁまぁ濡れます。
値段的にはまぁまぁかなと思います。

The hotel provided transportation, the weather was great, and there was a Japanese guide, which made me feel safe and it was the best experience. The beauty of the ocean was incredible, and I was able to see several sea turtles. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!!

ホテルから送迎してもらえて、天気も良くて、日本語ガイドさんもいて、安心で最高でした。
海の綺麗さは凄くて、ウミガメも何匹か見れました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！！

I was very satisfied. The morning plan was fully booked, so I went in the afternoon, but since the hotel pickup time was at 10:45, I had plenty of time to prepare. The briefing before departure was initially done in English by the local staff, and then they switched to a very fluent Osaka dialect, which was amusing. All the crew members were women, very kind, and eager to show us the sea turtles. It was reassuring that there was a crew member who could speak Japanese. I was able to enjoy as much SUP and snorkeling as I wanted. The sea was beautiful. On the way back, the bus stopped at Leonard's, and I was able to buy malasadas.

大満足でした。
午前プランがいっぱいで午後になりましたが、ホテルピックアップ時間が1045なので余裕で準備ができました。
出航前の説明は現地スタッフが最初は英語で、その後コテコテの流暢な大阪弁でしてくれてkウケていました。
クルーは全員女性でとても親切でウミガメを見せてあげようと熱心でした。日本語のできるクルーがいるので安心でした。SUPもシュノーケリングも好きなだけできました。海はきれいです。
帰りのバスはレナーズに寄ってくれてマラサダを買うことが出来ました。

I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been clear. It was cloudy and cold. The program and staff were very good. The hamburger was delicious, and the staff were kind. I was excited to play volleyball at the sandbar and to see the largest honu I've ever encountered while snorkeling. If I have the opportunity next time, I would like to use this cruise again.

晴れていれば最高だったと思います。曇っていて寒かった。プログラムとスタッフはとても良かった。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、スタッフも親切でした。サンドバーでバレーボールをして、シュノーケルでは今までで一番大きいホヌに会えて興奮しました。次回機会があれば、またこちらのクルーズを利用したいと思います。

The activity exceeded our expectations!
The crew did a get job explaining the rules, what to expect, and why. I felt safe and they included everybody and were interactive, very friendly and personable. This was my first time snorkeling, so I was a little nervous, but they put me at ease. It was truly amazing —-we got to see the giant sea turtles!!!
I also saw at least seven or eight different fish along the reef. And I even was swimming with beautiful school of fish below me!
I like the fact that they introduced us at the sandbar and let us get warmed up to snorkeling, and we had a game of volleyball before we went to the reef. They grilled hamburgers and had barbecued beans, and it was a delicious lunch!
all in all it was a great day, and a memory I will always cherish. I highly recommend this activity and tour to anybody going to Hawaii.

I would say best luau on island as we have done a few in our few years!

Great experience pretty clear cut check in and the dolphins are extremely friendly

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Can't go wrong with a nice evening on the gorgeous Waikiki shores!

Appreciate so much offered in 1 ticket! Great day on PH grounds

There was something to keep everyone smiling. We loved the gorgeous west side mountains and the super slide!

Really delicious food and friendly staff! Thank you for the great evening.

It was a nice experience. It was a bit crowded so didn't feel as intimate as I expected.

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

Great night for the full family, tons of laughter and smiles from the kids!

The pickup was smooth, and there was a Japanese guide, which was great. The light snack service on the boat was also very satisfying. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we split into groups for those who wanted to play first and those who wanted to snorkel. We were allowed to snorkel to our heart's content. We encountered many sea turtles and saw a lot of colorful tropical fish, which was wonderful.

After snorkeling, there were rentals for SUP and floaties, allowing us to play on the sandbar. The strong winds made it a bit challenging as we were easily swept away, but there was also a fun way to enjoy being carried by the wind.

This is not the provider's fault at all, but there was someone in our group who had poor snorkeling manners, splashing water everywhere, and when I accidentally got too close, they would hit or kick me. Even when staff warned them while they were on the SUP, they completely ignored it and drifted to places they shouldn't have gone, which was unpleasant. Therefore, I will rate this experience as "good."

ピックアップもスムーズで日本語のガイドもあり、船上での軽食サービスも大変満足いくものでした。
サンドバーについたら先に遊ぶ組と先にシュノーケル組に分かれるのですが、シュノーケルは満足いくまでやらせてもらえます。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えたし、カラフルな熱帯魚もたくさんいてとても良かったです。
シュノーケルを終えるとSUPや浮き輪などの貸し出しがあり、サンドバー上で遊べます。風が強くて流されやすかったのが少し大変でしたが風上からわざと流される楽しみ方もあります。
これは全く体験提供者の責任ではないのですが、一緒のグループになった人の中にシュノーケル中のマナーが悪くバシャバシャと水しぶきをたてたり、うっかり近づくと叩かれる・蹴られる、SUPに乗ってはスタッフに注意されても一切耳を貸さずに行ってはいけないところまで流れていくという人がいたのが不快だったので評価は「よかった」にさせていただきます。

I participated with my elderly mother. She can't swim, so I thought she would just splash around in the water up to her knees, but when we arrived, the water was over her waist. I wondered if she would be okay, but she put on a life jacket, held onto a kickboard, and with the help of a Japanese staff member, she was taken to the snorkeling spot where she was able to see sea turtles underwater!

Later, while I was doing SUP, she said she wanted to try it too. Although she lost her balance and fell into the sea, she wasn't scared because she was wearing a life jacket. It was her first time falling in at 76 years old. Looking at the photos, she has such a joyful smile, and I truly felt it was worth bringing her along. The staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you very much!

高齢の母を連れて参加しました。
母は泳げないので、膝くらいまでの海でパシャパシャやるくらいのつもりでいましたが、いざ着いてみると水は腰以上。
大丈夫かな？と思いましたがライフジャケットを着て、ビート板みたいなのに掴まり、日本語スタッフの方に付いてもらってシュノーケリングスポットまで連れて行ってもらい、水中の海ガメまで見ることができました！
その後も私がSUPをやっていたら、それやりたい！と言って挑戦。バランス崩して海に落ちるも、ライフジャケットを着ていたので怖くなかったそうです。76歳初ドボンです。
写真を見るととても楽しそうな笑顔で、本当に連れて行ってよかったと思いました。親切なスタッフたち様々です(^^)ありがとうございました。
