All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

Great food, and wonderful service by Danny! The Polynesian show was incredible. The ship was beautiful and easy to access all levels.
It was a very beautiful evening, watching the sunset as we cruised Waikiki. Great transportation!

Wow! To start. They picked us up at our hotel to start. Then drive us to Kaneohe sandbar. Next a beautiful short boat ride to two barges loaded with sea toys. Beautiful shallow sandy beaches that are user friendly for small children to seniors. The reef snorkeling is easy, very well guided and watched in smaller groups. We swam with turtles. Captain Danny went out of his way to share local marine knowledge and make sure all got to see turtles. This was our second time- we also sent our daughter and grandchild. They immediately fell in love with the tour and friendly crew. They are like family to us now. We will always come and swim with the turtles only with Captain Bruce's Team.
We have tried others and this family prefers and highly recommends Captain Bruce's based on experience. I am a former diver for the Seattle Aquarium, researcher for Washington State Department of Fisheries, Rescue Diver, Assistant Dive Instructor Advanced Open Water and lastly Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Simply said "Captain Bruce's does it right". I send my grandkids there Thank you Captain Bruce's! We love you!!! My only request is that you start another tour a bit more advanced for experienced snorkelers.
Then sign up this family

You can easily enjoy snorkeling and encounter sea turtles. The staff is very kind and accommodating, so you can participate with peace of mind and have a truly valuable experience.

手軽にシュノーケリングが楽しめ、ウミガメにも出会えます。スタッフがとても親切に対応してくれるので、安心して参加でき、とても貴重な体験ができます。

We had a great time with Kualoa Ranch Experience - Jurassic Valley Movie Tour. Our guide was outstanding and she provided us with many interesting facts. Highly recommended!

Although it wasn't guaranteed that we would see dolphins, we were able to see many of them. The boat was comfortable, and the staff really got everyone excited, making for a very enjoyable day. The early morning gathering was a bit challenging, but it made the day feel longer, which was very fulfilling. I also had the experience of seeing the great nature of the land from the boat, which was an excellent experience. Although the snorkeling time was a bit short, we were able to see a sea turtle and many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

イルカを見れることが確定ではないのにも関わらず沢山のイルカを見ることができました。船の中も快適でスタッフさんたちが沢山盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しい一日を過ごすことができました。朝の集合が早かったですがその代わり一日が長く感じることが出来たので充実感に圧倒されました。陸の大自然を船から見ることができる経験も出来たので非常に良い体験をすることができました。シュノーケリングは少し時間は短いもののウミガメを無事見ることもでき、沢山の魚を見れました。非常に楽しかったです。ありがとうございます

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.

The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

I think this is an activity unique to Hawaii. It's a bit expensive, but I'm very satisfied with the experience. It's interesting to take a boat to the submarine station and switch there. While waiting to board, you can enjoy the beach in front of the Hilton.

多分ハワイならではのアクティビティと思います。じゃっかん高いですが、内容的には大満足。船で潜水艦乗り場まで行って乗り換えるのもおもしろい。乗るのに待つ間にヒルトン前のビーチで遊べます。

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.

船自体楽しい。鯨の尻尾がみれます。英語の解説がわからなくても楽しめると思います。船酔いはないです。ドリンクも注文できます。コスパいいと思います

Really great event, organized and well directed from start to finish with yummy food as well.

Unfortunately, the sandbar was not visible, but we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and the kids were delighted. During this time of year, the water temperature is low, so it was cold. However, it was great to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and once we got on the boat, we could enjoy warm drinks, which helped us warm up!

残念ながら、サンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで亀が見れて、子供達は喜んでいました。この時期、水温が低いので、寒かったです。でも、初めてSUPをやったり、船に上がったら温かい飲み物も飲めて、身体も温まり、良かったです！

The Stargazing activity was fun and educational.

This was my third visit to Hawaii but my first time in Ko Olina. Our stargazing took place on the top level of The Four Seasons Tennis Court.

My girlfriend's daughter enjoys astronomy and she was excited every opportunity to see through the telescope.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. I highly recommend this experience.

We would like to spend more time at snorkeling sessions and not 45 mins. We still have to wait people to get down into the water.

I thought it would be a bit cold, but with excitement in my heart, I dove into the sea. I was moved by the emerald green scenery. After enjoying a delicious hamburger, it was time for snorkeling! I tried fins for the first time, and while the corals and colorful fish were pleasant, the surprise and thrill of seeing a huge sea turtle emerge from behind the corals made me really glad I participated.

少し寒いかと思いきや　ワクワクな気持ちで　海にダイブ
エメラルドグリーンの風景に感動です。
美味しいハンバーガー食べて　次は　シュノーケリング❗️
はじめて　フィンに挑戦　サンゴやカラフルな魚も心地よかったけれど　サンゴの陰から　デカい！ウミガメが出てきたときの驚きと　感動は　参加してよかったです。

Lots of fun! Went at the end of March and saw some whale activity which was exciting. Service was FANTASTIC!! Everybody was really warm, friendly and engaging. 10/10 would recommend.

Good price, good location, fun crew.

Need to provide something more than meet-at-the-bathrooms-of-a-marina for mustering instructions. There were no crew/personnel at said marina bathroom well past the appointed time. The check-in process was haphazard at best, and did not instill a lot of confidence in the crew's ability/professionalism. The shuttle brining additional guests from Honolulu/Waikiki was very late and delayed our departure by more than 30 minutes (of a three hour cruise). This is obviously not the crew's fault and there is nothing they could have done about the traffic; however, the lack of communication to the guests who were there waiting could have (and should have) been much much better.

Once on the boat, the crew proved knowledgable and kind. A fun cruise that is perfectly suited for visitors staying on the west end of the island. There are similarly priced options closer to Honolulu and Waikiki without the hour-plus drive through really bad traffic.

So much fun! Would do it again! The crew was informative, easy going and made sure we were all good! Food was great! I had 2nd servings and my 6yo son had a blast! It was his first time to snorkle!

The staff kindly provided information on reserving spots and efficient ways to get around before entering, and even though it was our first visit with children, we had a great time.

スタッフの方が、入場前に場所取りや効率的な回り方など親切に教えてくださり、子ども連れで初めての訪問でしたが楽しく過ごせました。

The weather was cloudy, but the staff were very kind and I had a great time. I was able to see many fish and turtles.

曇りがちな天気でしたが、スタッフさんが非常に親切で楽しめました。
たくさんの魚やカメを見ることができました。

Was very pleased, plenty to see and learn about. We went on Sunday and it wasn't very crowded. Only thing is, by the end of the day this old man was worn out. It's a long day with lots of walking. I do not recommend the Missouri or the Dolphin (the submarine) for anyone who doesn't have full mobility. The interior of the Missouri has lots of watertight doorways and steep stairways to step through and the Dolphin has even smaller watertight doors. (I wouldn't recommend the Dolphin for a larger person either for the same reason. )

Upon going to the sandbar for the first time, I decided to give Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay a try. So glad I did because I had an amazing time on this cruise. All of the employees were super nice and made sure everyone felt safe & comfortable on the cruise. The sandbar was absolutely stunning! The crew set up a volleyball net which allowed for all of us to have a fun match of beach volleyball at the sandbar. Those that didn't want to participate were able to walk around the sandbar at their leisure. I enjoyed that this cruise was away from all of the other cruises and boats in the area. It was like we had our own secluded little area. The food was delicious and afterwards we cruised over to a reef area to snorkel. Along the way, the captain went slow to make sure we got a chance to see all of the sea turtles floating on the surface of the ocean. We saw so many of them! The area we snorkeled in was amazing. I saw so many different kinds of fish and several sea turtles that literally swim right next to us. I had an amazing time and photos to last a lifetime. If you are thinking about doing a cruise to the sandbar, look no further. Would absolutely go again!

I was able to see a lot of whales!
I participated around the second week of March.
I was really moved to see the spouts and tails multiple times.
On the way back, I encountered a pod of dolphins and was able to see them up close.

I didn't understand any English, but I was able to manage by mimicking others:
- Put shoes in a box before boarding
- Get drinks on the boat
(Since everyone was putting tips in the box, I did too)
- Put tips in the box when getting off

I was quite anxious because I didn't know what time or where the pickup would be, and the people I was with on the way there somehow took an Uber back.
After waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes, the pickup arrived, and I was able to return safely, but I should have confirmed it on the bus going there.

クジラたくさん観れました！
3月の2週目くらいに参加しました。
潮吹きや尾びれが何度もみれて、すごく感動しました。
帰りにはイルカの群れに遭遇して、
近くでみることができました。

英語は全く分かりませんでしたが、
・靴を箱にいれて乗船する
・ドリンクは船の中でもらえる
(みんなは箱にチップいれてたのでいれた)
・降りるとき箱にチップいれる
はみんなの真似してできたので困りませんでした。

帰りのお迎えが何時にどこへ来るか分からず、
行きで一緒だった人たちも何故かウーバーで帰って行ったのでかなり不安になりました。
15~20分くらい待っていたら、迎えが来てくれて無事帰れましたが、行きのバスで確認しておくべきでしたね。

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was anxious about driving a rental car, and parking fees at hotels in Hawaii are high, so I opted for a plan that included transportation to the hotel. It took about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki using the freeway, and it was reassuring to have the shuttle service, especially since I could take a nap on the way back from swimming. (It would be helpful if the average tip for drivers could be displayed in advance on Japanese reservation sites, as there are also preparations for cash.)

In the morning, our driver was Jen, who spoke Japanese and kindly gave us advice on how to enjoy the park, which made me feel at ease. Other staff members did not speak Japanese. Most of the customers were Japanese families. For those with children, this water theme park, which is not found in Japan, is definitely worth visiting as kids will surely enjoy it.

The staff members were all well-built, which gave a sense of security, as I thought they might be lifeguards. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so the kids were able to try their favorite slides multiple times without waiting in line and had a great time. We were able to secure a spot with an umbrella, bought food, and ate there before playing again; the time flew by.

Attractions and pools required us to be barefoot, so I was sliding around with sandals in hand, but since it wasn't a particularly sunny day, I ended up going barefoot to move around. Perhaps because it wasn't crowded, the attractions were closing alternately at certain times. It was unfortunate that the lazy river was closed for the day. However, the wave pool was fun, with big waves coming in occasionally, making it feel like we were floating in the ocean.

I was too scared of the height to try the Shaka, but my husband and kids said it was fun and went on it multiple times. Other elementary school kids were also trying it repeatedly. The Tornado was incredibly fun, and I even tried it several times. The other slides were also enjoyable as they involved riding on large inflatable rings, which added to the sense of security.

ハワイは初めてだったのでレンタカーでの運転に不安がある上、ハワイはホテルでも駐車場代が高いのでホテルまでの送迎付きプランを申し込みました。
ワイキキからフリーウェイを使って車で40分くらい、泳いだ帰りに寝ることもでき送迎が安心でした。(こういうドライバーさんへのチップの相場を日本人向け予約サイトであらかじめ表示してもらえたら迷わなくてありがたいです。お札の用意とかもあるので。)
朝のお迎えが日本語話せるジェンさんで、とても親切に園内の過ごし方のアドバイスもらえて安心しました。
中のスタッフさんは、ジェンさん以外は日本語話していませんでした。
お客さんのほとんどは日本人ファミリーでした。
お子さんのいる方は日本に無い水のテーマパークで、子どもが喜ぶこと間違いないと思うので行く価値あります。
スタッフさんたちはライフセーバーなのかなと思うような、体格よい人ばかりで安心感ありました。
運良く混んでいなかったので、子どもたちは好きなスライダーを並ぶ時間かからず何回もトライでき満喫していました。
パラソルのある席を場所取りでき、ご飯を買ってそこで食べてまた遊んで時間はあっという間でした。
アトラクションやプール内は裸足にならないといけないので手にサンダルを引っかけて滑っていましたが、日差しがあまり強く無い日だったので途中から裸足になって移動しました。
混んでいなかったためか、アトラクションを一定の時間で交互にCLOSEしていました。流れるプールは1日CLOSEで残念でした。でも波のあるプールは、時々大きな波が来て、海に浮かんでいるみたいで面白かったです。
シャカは私は高さが怖くてトライしませんでしたが、夫も子どもも楽しいと言って何回もやっていました。
他にも小学生くらいの子が何回もトライしていました。
トルネードは最高に面白く、私でも何回もトライしました。
他のスライダーも大きな浮き輪に乗って滑るので安心感があり面白かったです。

The sea was beautiful. I was able to see turtles, but given the price, I'm not sure if it was worth it. I might not go again next time.

海は綺麗でした。
カメも見れましたが、値段が値段なので相応のツアーかは？です。
次回は行かないかな。

This was our 2nd time doing the Dolphins and You Tour (we did it in 2017). Last time was amazing as we had a very calm day and saw lots of dolphins. This time it was quite rough and we did not get an opportunity to swim in the ocean with them.
We did enjoy our time anchored in the bay, where we snorkeled, kayaked and swam. Lunch was delicious and the crew was terrific.
Even despite not seeing dolphins, it was a lovely day.

I enjoyed the attractions, especially the bodyboard included in this plan. There was no shuttle service, so I went by rental car, which was inexpensive. It was nice to stop by the nearby outlet as well.

アトラクション、特にこのプランに付いてるボディボードは楽しめました。
送迎なし、レンタカーで行きましたが安くすみました。
近くのアウトレットにも寄れて良かったです

We considered spending time by the pool in Hawaii, but the attractions were enjoyable for both adults and children. We wanted to keep costs down, so we went without a shuttle and used a rental car, which was not a problem. There were also Japanese staff who were very friendly.

せっかくのハワイでプールも…とも考えましたが
アトラクションは大人も子供も楽しめました。
安くすませたくて、送迎なし、レンタカーで行きましたが問題ありません。
日本人スタッフもいて、親切でした。

This was my third time at Kualoa. It seemed that this tour took a different route than the horseback riding and movie tours I usually participate in, so I saw scenery I had never seen before! I wanted to visit the iconic filming locations of Jurassic Park, and since there were photos in the tour details, I thought we would go there, but it was a bit disappointing that we didn't. However, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed the drive, so I made great memories!

クアロアへは3回目でした。このツアーは、いつも参加している乗馬や映画ツアーのルートとは違う方面を走るツアーだったようで、初めて見る景色でした！
ジャラシクックパークの代表的な撮影場所にも行きたくて、ツアー詳細に写真があったので回ってくれると思ってましたが、そこへは行かなかったのが少し残念ポイントでした！
でも、天気も良く、ドライブも楽しめたので良い思い出ができました！

It was raining heavily and cold, but I was able to see the honu! The driver who picked us up to the boat and the staff on the boat were very kind. Thanks to someone who could speak Japanese, they provided detailed guidance on points to be careful with small children and played with them in the sea, making it a truly enjoyable time! Even in the rain, we were able to see into the water, and when the honu swam by, we could see it up close! Since my children, aged 3 and 7, can't swim, we rented a special boat. Thanks to the boat, everyone was able to see the honu and was very happy! Drinks and snacks were free, which was a great service for the kids who got a little hungry!

すごーく雨が降り寒かったですが、ホヌに会うことができました！
船までの送迎の運転手の方も、船のスタッフも大変親切な方でした。日本語が話せる方がいてくださったおかげで、小さな子供への注意点なども詳しく案内してくださったり、子供と海で遊んでいただけて本当に楽しい時間でした！雨でも海の中を見ることができ、ホヌが泳いだら姿も身近で確認できました！3歳と7歳の子供は泳げないので、専用のボートを借りました。ボートのおかげでみんなホヌを見ることができて喜んでました！飲み物やスナックはフリーでしたので、小腹が空いた子供達にとっても有難いサービスでした！

My child finally got to touch a dolphin, which was a long-awaited dream. The rain that had been falling just before stopped, and we made the best memories!

At the entrance, they provided information about the meeting time and shuttle service, and we received a map, which was reassuring. When the time came, a very kind staff member who spoke Japanese explained the precautions, so the kids were able to participate with confidence.

My second son is about 120 centimeters tall, and he was a bit scared because he could barely touch the bottom of the pool, so parents with children should keep this in mind! By chance, we were able to touch a walrus, and it truly felt like a miraculous moment. The photos were taken by family members who weren't participating from a distance, but I think it's best to purchase the beautiful photos. They took several pictures, and they were ready about 20 to 25 minutes after the tour ended, allowing us to choose our favorites! We also enjoyed other facilities within the aquarium. I'm glad we participated!

子供が念願のイルカタッチ。直前まで降っていた雨も止み最高の思い出ができました！
入口で集合時間と送迎時間を案内してくださり、マップも受け取れるので安心です。
時間になると、日本語を話せるとても親切やスタッフの方が注意事項を教えてくださったので、子供達も安心してチャレンジできました。
次男が120センチくらいの身長で、プールでギリギリ足がつくかつかないかでちょっと怖がりましたので、お子さん参加の方は参考になさってくださいね！偶然にもウォルフィンとのタッチができ、本当に奇跡のような時間でした。写真は遠くから参加してない家族が撮りましたが、やはり綺麗な写真は購入するのが良いと思います。何枚か撮影してくださって、ツアー終了後20〜25分くらいで完成して、自分で好きな写真を選べます！水族館内の他の施設も楽しめました。参加してよかったです！

We had such a great day!! The crew was fantastic.
We loved going out to the beautiful sandbar and getting to look back at the beautiful island!!
We saw a sea turtle on the snorkel part of the excursion and so many fish!! Thanks for a great day.
