All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

The tour description says 2 hours but we were done in an hour. Saw only 2 sharks compare to other reviewers but I guess that’s better than nothing. The crew team was great and we felt safe in the cage.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.

Would recommend this to anyone the crew is outstanding the water was amazing. Beer was ice cold!!

we were so satisfied with everything from the food and to the show! customer service was great when booking and the show was super entertaining!

This was a lovely experience. The jazz singer was incredibly fun and talented. The food was excellent. The servers (Collin and Rob) were incredibly kind and attentive. The sunset was stunning. Finally, the Polynesian show was lovely and a great way to end the night. I would come again.

We participated as a couple in our 30s.
We were fortunate with the weather and were able to go to the sandbar under clear skies.

The sea was more beautiful than we imagined, and we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles while snorkeling.

On our trip, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so it might be a good idea to inquire ahead of time since it may not be the case every time. However, I think those who are concerned about the language will feel reassured.

They properly checked the number of participants before setting out the boat, and there were plenty of snacks and drinks prepared. There were also various options for play equipment, making it a fulfilling and reassuring tour.

30代夫婦2人で参加しました。
天候にも恵まれて、晴天のなかサンドバーに行くことができました。

想像以上に美しい海でしたし、シュノーケリングではウミガメに沢山出会うことができて感動しました。

私たちの回はスタッフに日本語を喋れる方も同乗されていたので、毎回ではないかもしれないので問い合わせした方が良いかもしれませんが言語に不安がある方も安心ではないかと思います。

ちゃんと人数確認してから船をだしたり、お菓子や飲み物も沢山用意されていたり、遊ぶ道具も色々選択肢があり充実し、また安心できるツアーでした。

サンセットを逃さないちょうど良い時間、完璧なタイミングで運ばれてくるお料理、楽しいショータイム、このお値段で盛りだくさんの納得の内容でした。
特にカニが美味しかったですし、全体の量も十分でした。
デッキからはワイキキの夕景や空港から飛び立つ飛行機が見えてとても綺麗です。
ただ、満席だった場合は隣の人と肩や肘がぶつかるくらいの距離感で仕切りのアクリル板などは無いので、そういうのが気になる方はご注意を。

The scenery was absolutely stunning. I never expected to find such a shallow and beautiful spot in the middle of the ocean. During snorkeling, I got to see turtles and fish. I participated in December, and although it was somewhat cold, it was an amazing experience.

とにかく景色が最高だった。海の真ん中にこんなに浅くて綺麗な場所があるなんて思ってもいませんでした。シュノーケリングは、亀にも魚にも会えました。12月の参加でしたが、そこそこ寒いものの、感動ものでした。

There were staff who spoke Japanese, and it was very comfortable. The boat ride to the dive site was almost smooth and refreshing. There was plenty of time for diving, and we were able to see a sunken ship, sea turtles, and divers. There weren't that many fish, but I'm glad I went.

日本語の話せるスタッフもいて、居心地が良かった。ポイントまでの船もほぼ揺れず爽快。潜水時間もたっぷりで、沈没船や海亀やダイバーが見られた。魚はそんなにたくさんいなかったが、行って良かった。

This is my second visit. A few years ago during my first visit, the weather wasn't great, but this time it was a beautifully sunny day! Several crew members spoke Japanese and were very considerate. Snorkeling in the beautiful sea and activities like stand-up paddleboarding became unforgettable memories. Snacks, drinks, and spam musubi were also provided, making it perfect to enjoy while satisfying our little hunger!

2度目の訪問です。
数年前の1度目は天気に恵まれなかったのですが、
今回は晴れたとても美しい日でした！
クルーの皆さんも日本語が話せる方が数人いて、何かと気を遣ってくださいました。
綺麗な海の真ん中でのシュノーケルや、SUPなどは一生の思い出になりました。
スナックや飲み物、スパムむすびなども準備されていて、小腹を満たしながら遊べて最高です！

Beautiful show and great food. Our server and performer Ryan was excellent!! From his kindness to his skill at dancing.

Had a blast. The folks on board treated us so well and really gave everyone a good time.

Our Pearl Harbor tour was wonderful! Do it early as it was starting to get hot, and our tour guide Maureen was amazing. She’s a wealth of knowledge!

We went by rental car instead of the shuttle bus. We didn't receive the orange wristband that we were supposed to get, and without it, we couldn't enjoy unlimited drinks or the FlowRider. After entering, we were passed around multiple times and ultimately had to go back to the very first reception to get it. The facility itself is fun.

私達は送迎バスでなくレンタカーで行きました。
本来もらえるはずのオレンジのリストバンドがもらえず、それがないとドリンク飲み放題やフローライダーも出来ないので、一度入ってから何度もたらい回しにされて、結局一番最初の受付まで取りに行きました。施設自体は楽しいです。

What a great & wonderful experience. This was our first time to do this type of event and we were blown away. Staff and crew were so professional and courteous! My expectations were definitely exceeded! I will return to the Star of Honolulu and next time we are bringing my daughter and her boyfriend. Food was prepared and cooked to perfection! Entertainment was excellent, I can’t wait to experience this again! Thanks to all involved to make this a success!!

Somewhat expensive for what it offers. As others mentioned it is funny at times, but nothing spectacular.

My husband and I had a great time. We had plenty of time in the cage and felt 100% safe. There were dozens of sharks the entire time we spent in the cage. They were so magnificent.This has been on my bucket list for quite some time. There was a huge storm that rolled in and the team was so accommodating to help me move and keep this appointment knowing how much it meant to me. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for this priceless memory!

I booked the first session of the day.

I had heard experiences that it could be cold inside the submarine, so I brought a jacket. In the end, it wasn't as cold as I expected. If you're sensitive to cold, it's better to bring one just in case.

All the explanations were in English. I didn't understand much, but just looking at the underwater scenery was enjoyable, so I’ll take it as a positive.

There were a lot of fish, but I didn't see any sea turtles. They explained the types of fish and the ship and airplane wrecks on the seabed, but I didn't understand most of it. It might be more interesting if you research the sunken ships and types of fish in the waters around Waikiki beforehand. There were also a few divers, and when I waved to them from inside the submarine, they waved back and said, "Aloha!"

The boat ride from the pier to the submarine was quite windy, so a jacket is necessary for that part. (If you can't stand the cold, you can stay indoors...) The view of Waikiki Beach from the water was also enjoyable.

Before boarding, we took group photos, and on the return boat, they encouraged us to purchase the photos. Caught up in the excitement of seeing the underwater world, I bought them without asking the price (I think payment was credit card only?). Later, when I checked the receipt, it was about $48. After purchasing, I received instructions for downloading the photos, but when I tried to download them, it turned out it wasn't free and cost about $12 instead. ^^

朝一番の回を申し込みました。

潜水艦の中は寒いなどとの体験談がありましたので、上着を持っていきました。結果的には思ったほど寒くは無かったです。寒さに弱い人は持参したほうが安心です。

説明が全て英語でした。分からなかったですが、海の中は見ているだけで楽しいので、まぁ良しとします。

お魚がたくさんいて、ウミガメは見えませんでした。
お魚の種類や海底にある船とか飛行機の説明していましたがほとんどわかりませんでした。ワイキキの海底にある沈没船や魚の種類などを事前に調べておくともっと面白いかもしれません。
ダイバーも数人いて、潜水艦のなかから手をふったら「アロハ～」とサインしてくれました。

桟橋から、潜水艦までにいく船の上は風が強く、そちらの方で上着が必要です。（我慢できない寒さなら室内にいればいいですが、、）海上からワイキキビーチが一望でき、そちらも楽しいのです。

乗船前にグループ毎に写真をとり、帰りの船の上で写真購入を進められました。海の中をみた興奮もあり、値段も聞かず購入（支払いは、クレジットカードオンリーだったかな？）しました。後で明細みたら、48ドル位しました。購入後、写真ダウンロードの説明書をもらったので、ダウンロードしようと思ったら、無料ダウンロードではなく、12ドル位で購入でした^^;

The main event of this trip was the Dolphin Encounter, an activity that the kids had been looking forward to. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the event, and the weather was quite chilly. However, the time spent interacting with the dolphins in the pool truly became a treasured experience. It was an exhilarating experience for adults as well, allowing us to literally interact and play with the dolphins for the entire duration. I had expected to only be able to touch them a little or take some photos, but we were able to interact closely and even perform tricks together, which was incredibly enjoyable. Despite the disappointing weather, it was an activity that we could still say was amazing! Thank you very much.

今回の旅のメインイベント、ドルフィン・エンカウンター。子ども達がずっと楽しみにしていたアクティビティでした。が、当日はあいにくの雨。肌寒いくらいの天気でしたが、プールの中でイルカと触れ合えた時間は本当に何よりの宝物になったようです。大人もテンションが上がる体験で、時間いっぱいイルカと文字通り触れ合えて、遊ぶことができました。近くに行ってもちょっと触れるくらいか、写真撮っておしまい？くらいの気持ちでいたので、じっくり触れて一緒に芸をやったりと、本当に楽しめました。天気は残念だったけど、それでも最高！と言えるくらい楽しめるアクティビティでした。ありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather and had a great time. Our guide, Yuki-san, was happy and energetic, and we really enjoyed the experience at the sandbar. It was the first snorkeling experience for the children, and they seemed nervous, but they were able to try it even in places where they couldn't get their feet on, and they were able to see the fish with their own eyes! The hamburger we ate on board was also exceptional. We had a really valuable experience. thank you very much!

It was very first time to join cruise for us. Unfortunately we could not find whales but we could meet a lot of dolphins swimming. Luckily it was really nice fine day, we had a great experience on the big ship. Hopefully we meet whales at next time. Thank you so much.

I participated with my spouse and friends. At first, I wondered if there would be anyone who spoke Japanese among the staff, but there was someone who spoke it fluently, which made me feel at ease to join! Since I can't swim in deep water, I thought I would skip the snorkeling, but with a life jacket on and the staff providing constant support, I was able to see sea turtles and fish safely! I was also happy that we had prescription underwater goggles available, so everyone could participate! After snorkeling, we were able to do SUP, and it was truly a satisfying tour! Among all the meals during this trip to Hawaii, the spam musubi we had on the boat was the most delicious! The hot drinks and snacks were refreshing for our tired bodies after being in the sea! Thank you so much to the staff who really encouraged us!☆\(^-^)/

夫婦と仲間で参加させていただきました。
最初スタッフに日本語話せる方が居ないのかなと思っていたら、日本語がペラペラの方がいて安心して参加できました☆
足のつかないところでは泳げないのでシュノーケルの参加は遠慮しようと思っていたら、ライフジャケットをちゃんと付けて、スタッフの方が常にサポートしてくれる形で無事に海ガメとお魚も見れました！
度付きの水中ゴーグルもありみんなで参加出来たので嬉しかったです！
シュノーケルの後にSUPも出来て本当に大満足なツアーでした☆
今回のハワイ旅行の中で船で食べた軽食のスパムにぎりが1番美味しく感じました♪
ホットドリンクもスナックも海で疲れた体に沁みました〜！
本当に背中を押してくれたスタッフの方、ありがとうございました☆\(^-^)/

Since the morning tour I wanted was fully booked at the time of reservation, I participated in the afternoon tour. When I entered my accommodation details during the booking, they specified the nearest pickup location.

During the tour, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese to assist us after boarding. While snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, creating memories that are hard to experience in daily life. After snorkeling, we enjoyed various activities at our leisure, and the tour concluded.

What I was glad to bring was definitely a waterproof case for my smartphone. I bought it at a 100 yen shop in Japan, and it was fairly usable. It was a bit difficult to operate underwater while snorkeling, so I might have been more satisfied with something of better quality.

Also, a bath towel is important. If you can borrow multiple towels from the hotel, it's better to bring one along. After coming out of the sea, your body gets cold, so having one for drying off and another to wrap around you is great!

予約時は希望の午前中ツアーがいっぱいだったので午後のツアーに参加しました。予約時に宿泊先を入力すると、最寄りのピックアップ場所を指定してもらいました。

ツアーでは乗船後に日本語ができるスタッフさんにもご対応いただきました。シュノーケリングではウミガメを間近で見ることができ、日常ではなかなか体験できない思い出ができました。シュノーケリング後は各々自由なアクティビティを楽しみ、ツアーは終了しました。

持参してよかったのはやはりスマホ防水ケース。日本で100均で買ったものでしたが、まぁまぁの使い勝手でした。シュノーケリング時に水中での操作は難しかったので、もう少し性能がいいものだと満足かも？

あとはバスタオル。ホテルで複数枚借りれれば持って行った方がよいです。海から上がれば体は冷えますし、拭く用と体に羽織る用があればGoodです！

It was a large ship, so the scenery on the way out to sea to see the whales was also wonderful. Although from a distance, I was able to see several whales, which was great.

大きな船だったので鯨を見に沖に行くまでの景色も素晴らしかったです。
遠くからですが何頭かのクジラを見ることが出来良かったです。

I love the kid-friendly board, my children can enjoy snorkeling without swimming skill. Such a fun and amazing tour, wanna do it again!

This was a very good tour. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable of the area. The times at the various stops were more than adequate. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in Pearl Harbor history.

During my previous hike in Manoa, I was captivated by the enchanting atmosphere of the forest. Unfortunately, this time, we had to walk almost entirely in the rain. The photos all turned out gloomy due to the clouds, so the weather was disappointing. Before we started, it was helpful that they lent out rain gear and sticks to those who needed them. The guide's instructions were also enjoyable! For lunch, I had a pastrami sandwich, which was just the right amount and delicious.

以前マノアのハイキングに参加した際、森の幻想的な雰囲気に心奪われました。今回は残念ながら、ほぼずっと雨の中を歩くこととなりました。写真が全部どんより雲のため、天気だけが残念です。スタート前に、雨具とスティックを希望者には貸し出してくれて助かりました。ガイドの方の案内も楽しかったです！ランチは、パストラミサンドにしましたが、ちょうどいい量で美味しかったです。

Great food! Wonderful entertainment! Terrific staff! Well worth it. We had a fabulous time!

As expected, the sea in January is cold, and although it was sunny, there was hardly any direct sunlight, which made it tough. The children were shivering.

When we arrived at the sandbar, it should have been around low tide to high tide, but the water level had already risen, and it wasn't dry land, which was disappointing.

However, we did get to see sea turtles and manta rays. Also, snorkeling was quite tough, and taking care of the kids while doing it was pretty exhausting.

やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。

It was a tour in the morning, but because it had rained the day before and there was a little rain on the day itself, the sea was a bit cold and didn't have the beauty of a heavenly sea. However, as it got closer to noon, it started to clear up, and gradually beautiful scenery began to appear.

Also, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. The tour crew spoke Japanese and were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun!

Next time I come, I want to see the best scenery!

朝からのツアーでしたが、前日に雨が降っていたことと、当日少し雨が降ったため、海は少し冷たく、天国の海というほどの美しさはありませんでした。
しかし、お昼近くになると晴れ始め、次第に綺麗な景色が見え始めました。

また、ウミガメが見れたことやサップも楽しめたこと、ツアーのクルーの方々は日本語も話せることや、とても気さくで話しやすく良い方々だったこともあり、とても楽しかったです！

次回はきた際には最高の景色を見たいです！
