All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

I ordered leis for our family of 8 on a Friday for the following Tuesday. Our flight was over an hour late, but the wonderful smiling ladies greeted us as we got off the plane. Everyone was so thrilled especially me that they were there even though the plane was late.

This time, my husband, daughter (a third grader), and I participated in the Dolphin Encounter. It seemed that about half of the participants were Japanese. Because of this, there was an explanation provided in advance by a Japanese person, and the trainer explained things in broken Japanese. So, we didn't have to worry about the language.

Since the observation area was quite far away, we couldn't take many photos or videos. In the end, we each purchased a commemorative photo for $18.

The Sea Life Park itself is not very large, and if you imagine it like an aquarium in Japan, you might be a bit disappointed. The main attraction is interacting with the dolphins, and the rest is just a little sightseeing to pass the time, so I don't think it's a good idea to plan to stay in the park all day.

While I have some dissatisfaction regarding the scale of Sea Life Park (and the admission fee), the interaction with the dolphins became a wonderful memory for my daughter.

今回は、主人と娘（小学3年生）がドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
割合的には日本人が5割位でしょうか… その為事前に日本人の方から説明があり、トレーナーさんは片言の日本語で説明してくれたそうです。 なので言葉の心配はありませんでした。

見学はかなり離れたところからだったので写真やビデオはあまり撮れませんでした。
結局記念に1枚18ドルの写真をそれぞれに購入しました。

シーライフパーク自体はあまり大きくなくて日本の水族館をイメージすると拍子抜けします。 メインはイルカとの触れ合いであとは時間潰しにちょろっと見学程度で、一日中パークにいるスケジュールにはしない方がいいと思います。

シーライフパークの規模（入場料）に対する不満はありますが、イルカとの触れ合いは娘にとって素敵な思い出になりました。

I participated in a plan that departed at noon. The sandbar wasn't completely visible, but it was mystical and nice. I wasn't very confident in my swimming skills, so I was a bit anxious about snorkeling, but they provided life jackets and something like a float (it looked like a rolled-up yoga mat), which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it. The hamburgers served for lunch on the boat were freshly made and delicious, and the crew was lively and made it fun!

お昼に出発するプランで参加しました。サンドバーは完全に砂浜が見える状態ではありませんでしたが、神秘的で良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がないのでシュノーケルは少々不安でしたが、ライフジャケットと浮き輪のようなもの(ヨガマットを丸めたような形)を貸してくださるので、安心して楽しめました。
船でサーブされるランチのハンバーガーも出来立てで美味しかったですし、クルーが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです！

We played volleyball at the sandbar, ate hamburgers grilled on the boat, and went sea turtle watching. Fortunately, during snorkeling, I had the incredible experience of seeing sea turtles cross right in front of me twice, which was very moving!!!! I had also gone snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before, but I felt there were more fish here. It was very mystical and moving when the sunlight shone through. Since there were Japanese staff from the tour company, I had no worries at all.

サンドバーでバレーボールをし、船上で焼いてもらったハンバーガーを食べ、ウミガメウォッチング。そのままシュノーケリングをしました。
運良くシュノーケリングのときにウミガメが目の前を横切る場面が2度あり、かなり感動しました！！！！ハナウマ湾でもシュノーケリングを前日にしていましたが、こちらの方が魚も多く感じました。日光が差すととても神秘的で感動しました。
ツアー会社の方は日本人もいたため、心配することもありませんでした。

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ、プリンスホテル、イリカイなどは、送迎は不要です。潜水艦へ向かうボードは、ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ付近のビーチの桟橋から出てくるのを知らずでした。
送迎は、15分遅れでした。
で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。
そうです。
桟橋は直ぐ裏のビーチでした。
知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。
到着したときに確認しましたが、後から参加の方は、欧米人が多く、かなりぎゅうぎゅうのように見受けられました。潜水艦ツアーは想像通り良かったです。日系人の日本語で、5歳の子どもには少し早口だったかも。ですが、日本語で助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

Friendly and entertaining staff, two stops at both the sandbar and the reef for snorkeling, a fun filled day with magnificent view

My daughter loved it!! Such a great experience for young kids, they get educated, played, touched lovely dolphins. Trainers are experienced and very friendly.

Thank you so much for making our first time arrival to Hawaii so awesome! The flowers were beautiful and you really impressed us with the handwritten card and candy. Also the young lady helped us with where to go for luggage and the rental car area. She was so sweet!! Thank you again :)

Found the trip on the internet, called the office and booked the 5 hour morning trip over the phone. Recieved a conformation number over the phone and an email with all of the details. A few days before my trip recieved a reminder email and a link to print out my voucher. The day of the trip, Mett the bus a the pick time and point. The bus was a luxurious tour bus with a restroom. The driver Patrick was very professional and very pleasent. As we start traveling through the city Patrick pointed out several different thing. He was very knowledgeable about the city of Honolulu. When we arrived at Pearl Harbor he lead us up to the gate and explained how the tour was to be conducted. He handed are tickets showed everybody where to meet and at what time. After the movie and boat ride to the Arizona we had an extra 1 1/2 hours to see the rest of the site. The tour was definitely worth the money, there was no standing in line to get tickets or having to find transportation to Pearl Harbor and back. Would recommend it to everyone.

Not enough kayaks or paddle boards for the amount of people there.
There needs to be some kind of system to check out the kayaks and the boards.
Three local girls were on the paddle boards for 2.5 hrs and didn't let anyone else use them.

Enjoyed it, it was nice. It's worth the money for the SUP and the kayaking. However, not the snorkeling.
Water is too murky for it.
I think it would be good to allow the swimmers to sign a release to not have to wear a life jacket. The area they give you to paddle and kayak on is limited and very close to the shore area.

I went with my grandchild. As we challenged ourselves with thrilling water slides and various attractions, I, at 75, and my husband, who is approaching 80, felt a bit anxious. However, perhaps with divine help, we became close with a wonderful family visiting from Yokohama, and my grandchild was completely welcomed into their group, which made for an incredibly fun experience. While waiting with my camera for the Tornado ride, I heard joyful screams as they came down. I can't express enough gratitude for such wonderful memories. They were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary and had come together, and we also enjoyed a trip as a couple after our daughter took care of our four cats. I spent a relaxing time chatting with others of a similar age on a bench in the shade, while my grandchild tackled most of the attractions with kids of a similar age, and it was so much fun. It was a day that will remain in our hearts forever. Thank you very much.

孫と行きました。絶叫ウォータースライダーや色々なアトラクションに挑戦すると、張り切っている孫に７５の私、８０歳を目前の主人は不安でした。所が、神の助けか横浜から来られていた、素敵なご家族と親しくなり孫はすっかりその一員に加えて頂いてとてもとても楽しい思いをさせて頂きトルネードなどカメラを構えて待っているとキャーキャー言って降りてきました。こんなに楽しい思い出が出来るなんて本当に感謝の気持ちは言い尽くせません。金婚式を迎えられて皆さんで来られていて私たちも又、金婚式で４匹の猫の世話を娘が見てくれて久しぶりの夫婦での旅行でした。私は似た歳のもの同士木陰のベンチで楽しいお話をしてゆったりと時を過ごし孫は似た年頃のお孫さんとほとんどのアトラクションを攻略させて頂いてめっちゃ楽しかった、ズーッと心に残る１日でした。有難うございました。

　

I participated in the sandbar activities for the first time. Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the area of the sandbar was smaller than I expected, which was a bit disappointing. However, I enjoyed activities like sea kayaking and snorkeling, and the staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. I think it would be better to clarify the barbecue lunch, as it can be misleading; perhaps it should be called a BBQ hamburger lunch instead. Of course, it was delicious!

サンドバーのアクティビティに初めて参加しました。時間帯の関係で潮位が高くてサンドバー
の面積が思ったより狭かったのが残念でしたがシーバレー・・？やシュノーケリングも充分
楽しめたし、スタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれたので良かったと思います。ただ、バーベキュー
ランチというのは勘違いするので、BBQハンバーガーランチにしたほうがいいんじゃないかな。
もちろん美味しかったですよ！

What a nice tour! We took the Royal Star Hawaii Deluxe Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial and Historical City Tour.
This is a great tour because, regardless of what you read anywhere else, there is an advantage to getting a tour operator to take you. I was curious about how easy it would be to get tickets on your own, so I went over to the ticket counter and asked what the next available time would be (already having the ticket that our guide, Larry, gave us). It was 3 hours later than the ticket Larry got us! We saved 3 hours, allowing us the 2nd half of the day to go do other things!
Our tour guide, Larry, who is very knowledgeable, shared many interesting facts and insights about the area. As for the Pearl Harbor portion of the trip, he gave us helpful instructions in advance, walked us in as a group, went to get our tickets for us, and then gave us instructions on what to see and do. He was even available for us while we toured the visitors center and museum. When we came back to the bus, he even had a mint and handy wipe for each of us to freshen up!
We also went to National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and to Downtown Honolulu to see the famous statue of King Kamehameha, again many interesting facts delivered by Larry.

Conclusion: quality tour, saved 3+ hours of our day. Easy pickup and drop off near major Hotels.

I was swept away by the sunset, full moon, dancers, mai tis, whale watching and our MC for the evening. Because I was traveling solo I was the center of focus majority of the evening :) (I didn't mind) The level of participation and energy from everyone in the room was mind blowing. Can not wait to return, but with a significant other.

This time, I participated with my two children, my husband, and my mother-in-law, making a total of five people. I was a bit worried about my mother-in-law, who is over 70, but she had a great time. The water at the sandbar was shallow enough to reach our ankles, so we could walk around. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the kids enjoyed playing beach volleyball. We even saw a sea turtle swimming close by while snorkeling. The staff were very accommodating, and it was truly a fun day. I would love to participate again!

今回は子供二人と主人と私と主人の義母の５人で参加しました。
義母は70歳を過ぎているので参加するのが少し不安でしたがとても楽しく参加でき、サンドバーでも水がくるぶし位だったので歩く事が出来ました。
景色もとーっても綺麗で子供達もビーチバレーなどして楽しんでいました。
シュノーケルでも海がめが近くで泳いでいるのが見れました。
スタッフの皆さんの対応も良く、本当に楽しい一日でした。また参加したいです‼︎

I participated with my 11-year-old son.
My boat had a mix of Japanese and Western guests, but it made me feel very American.
The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, provided detailed explanations, which made me feel at ease.
The snorkeling experience was amazing; we saw many tropical fish and even sea turtles! The sandbar was also wonderful! The hamburgers for lunch were very delicious.
As others have mentioned, it's a good idea to bring towels and jackets for the return bus ride.

11歳の息子と参加させていただきました。
私の船は半々で日本人と欧米の方という感じでしたがアメリカンな気分にさせてくれ
スタッフも日本語堪能な方が細かく説明をしてくれたので安心できました。
シュノーケルはたくさんの熱帯魚と海がめさんも見れて大感動！サンドバーもすばらしかったです！ランチのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
帰りのバスは皆さんおっしゃってるようにタオルや上着を持っていったほうがよいですよ。

Very nice and helpful young man!
He was at the airport gate waiting for us to get down, as he held a sign with our names.

He was friendly, and very pleasant as well as very helpful.

This might have been the most fun part of my trip to Hawaii (^ - ^)/

We were picked up from the hotel and got on the bus around 9:20, arriving at the port around 10:10. The road was flat and easy. If we had driven, we might have arrived even faster.

After a while, we boarded the boat to the sandbar. We arrived in about 30 minutes and spent about an hour exploring and playing. The boat hardly rocked at all. The sandbar felt like a larger version of Hatenohama in Kume Island, Okinawa. There were no fish at the sandbar.

After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch and moved to see sea turtles while heading to the coral reef with fish. This took about 10 to 20 minutes, I guess? We were able to see several sea turtles.

Once we reached the coral reef, we snorkeled around there. We saw sea turtles again. We played for about an hour before heading back to the port.

今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったかも(^-^)/

ホテルからのピックアップでいき、9時20分くらいにバスにのり10時10分くらいに港につきました。道も平坦で楽でした。車で行けばもっと早くついたかも。

それから、しばらくして船にのりサンドバーへ。30分くらいで着いて、１時間くらい散策して遊び。船はほとんど揺れません。サンドバーは、沖縄久米島のはての浜の大きい版という感じです。サンドバーには魚はいません。

その後、チーズバーガーを昼食にとり、ウミガメを見に移動しつつ、魚のいる珊瑚礁に。これは10～20分くらい移動でしょうか？ウミガメは数匹見ることができました。

珊瑚礁についたら、その回りをシュノーケリングで遊びます。ここでもウミガメを見ました。１時間くらい遊んで港へ。

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.

We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.

After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.

The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.

Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

最初は10時半のツアーに希望を入れていたのですが予約が取れず、朝に変更したら予約が取れて良かったです！
集合時間もそんなに早くなくて、トランプに宿泊の私たちの集合場所はシェラトンになりました。
バスに揺られ、その後フェリーに乗ってまずウミガメを探します。
綺麗な海の中から見つけられた時の感激ったらありません。

その後は珊瑚礁の上をシュノケーリングで泳ぎました。
みんなライフジャケットを着て泳ぐので、水深１０メートルでも全然怖くありません。
珊瑚礁や魚を見ながら泳ぐ楽しさは本当に初めてで、忘れ難い思い出になりました。

サンドバーもほぼ干潮で、岸からかなり離れているのに本当に不思議でした。
またいつかまた訪れたときには、また参加したいです。
朝食はサンドウィッチでしたが、チーズもとろけていて本当においしかったです。

楽しい体験を本当にありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of five: two adults, two children, and one infant. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. The participation date was July 22, and we opted for the deluxe package.

The shuttle vehicle was a cool van wrapped in a Wet 'n' Wild design. We were the only passengers in the van. It took about 10 minutes by car from Aulani to the location.

Upon arrival, there was a line of cars in front of the parking lot, but since we were in a shuttle, we were able to bypass that and park right in front of the entrance. There were long lines at the ticket booth and entrance gate, but the shuttle driver brought a red paper band and wrapped it around our wrists, allowing us to skip the line and enter directly.

I later learned that this time of year is busy due to local students being on their last summer break.

Before playing, I thought about storing our valuables in a locker, but there was a long line there too. Not wanting to wait, I decided to carry our valuables with me, even though it was a bit inconvenient.

All the slides looked fun, but it was crowded, and we could only do two or three of them. There were no wait time displays, making it difficult to manage our time.

For lunch, we had the BBQ buffet included in the deluxe package. I didn't have high expectations, but the BBQ meat was grilled on-site and was quite delicious. I think it would have tasted even better with some soy sauce.

My son and daughter enjoyed bodyboarding, and they seemed to have a great time.

Our return was scheduled for 3:15 PM, which felt quite early, and due to the crowds, we didn't get to enjoy as much as we had hoped, leaving us a bit unsatisfied.

Also, I intended to rent towels on-site, but there were no towel rentals available, which was a bit of a hassle. I had to make do by drying off with a hand towel and letting myself air dry.

夫婦＋子供2人＋乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/22。デラックスパッケージ。

送迎車はウェット・アンド・ワイルドのデザインのかっこいいラッピングされたバン。乗客は自分たち家族だけでした。
アウラニから現地までは車で10分程度。

現地につくと駐車場前に乗用車の列ができていましたが、送迎車なのでスルーして入口前に停めてました。
チケット売り場、入園ゲートも長蛇の列ができていましたが、送迎車の運転手が赤い紙のバンドをもってきて腕に巻いてくれて、そのまま列をスルーして入園することができました。

あとで知りましたが、この時期は現地学生の夏休み最後の時期なので混雑するんだそうです。

遊ぶ前にまず貴重品をロッカーにあずけようと思いましたが、ここも長蛇の列。並ぶのが嫌だったので、邪魔でしたが貴重品は持ち歩くことにしました。

スライダー系はどれも楽しそうでしたが、混んでいて2,3個だけしかできませんでした。待ち時間表示もないので、時間の調整も難しいです。

ランチはデラックスパッケージについてたBBQブッフェ。あまり期待してなかったけれど、BBQの肉はその場で焼いていて、なかなか美味しかったです。肉にしょうゆをつけたらもっと美味しく食べられたんじゃないかと思います。

息子と娘がボディボードをやってましたが、楽しそうでした。

帰りが3時15分とかなり早く、また混んでいたこともあり、思っていたより遊べなくて、ちょっと物足りなかったです。

それとタオルは現地でレンタルしようと思ったのですが、タオルレンタルがなくて困ってしまいました。仕方なくハンドタオルで全身を拭いて自然乾燥でなんとか乗り切りました。

When we arrived at a port-like place after a bus ride from the hotel meeting point, we were greeted by a lively Japanese lady! We boarded the boat and chose our seats. My friend and I wore swimsuits, T-shirts, shorts, and rash guards, holding beach towels in our hands. After a brief explanation, we encountered a turtle. Then we took some photos and headed to the sandbar!

When we reached our destination, we had to walk down the stairs to the sea, but to our surprise, the waves were up to our chests, so we ended up soaking our T-shirts right from the start, haha! After a short walk, we arrived at the sandbar.
1. Those who can't swim stay at the sandbar.
2. After enjoying the sandbar, we split into those who would go snorkeling.

The sea, sky, and sandbar were so beautiful that it was breathtaking! I can't even count how many photos I took.

When it was time to return, everyone got back on the boat, and while climbing the stairs, the Japanese guide playfully said, "Let's splash!" and we all got drenched, haha! We were completely soaked, but it felt great! If you don't want to get wet, you can simply let them know, and you can avoid it. After that, we had a light snack and got back on the bus!

The air conditioning on the bus was quite cold, so it's best to prepare for the chill.

I had a fulfilling time!

ホテルの待ち合わせ場所からバスに揺られ港のようなところにつくと、威勢の良い日本人のお姉さんがお出迎え！
船に乗り込み各自好きな席へ。
私と友達は、水着にTシャツ、短パン、ラッシュガードを羽織り、バスタオルを手に持ち行きました。
説明を受け数分後、カメと遭遇。
そして写真を撮っていざサンドバーへ！
目的地に着くと、階段を降りて海に行くのですが、濡れないと思いきや、胸のあたりまで波の高さがある中を歩いていくので、最初からTシャツびっしょり笑
そして少し歩いてサンドバーにつきます。
①泳げない人はサンドバーのみ
②サンドバーを楽しんだ後にシュノーケリングに行く人にわかれます。

本当に海と空、サンドバーがキレイすぎて感動！
何枚写真を撮ったことか。

時間になるとみんな船に上がっていくのですが、階段登りながら、日本人のガイドのお姉さんに潮を落としまーすと言われながら、バシャーンと全員水かけ笑 全身びっしょりだけど気持ち良い‼︎
濡れたくない人は、直に伝えれば濡れずに済んでいました。
その後軽食を取り、バスに乗ります！
このバスの時が冷房が効いていて寒いので、しっかり寒さ対策をした方が良いです。

充実した時間を過ごすことができました‼︎

Awesome and helpful young man.
Very attentive and helpful.
He was waiting for us as our flight arrived at the gate.

Hiking to Diamond Head's top is a must! Great views, and great feeling of accomplishment. Don't forget to buy a certificate at the top!

The tour was great and very informative. Our guide Larry gave us tips on how to be most productive in our Pearl Harbor tour so we won't waste time and also so that we can get the most out of our pictures.

The Pearl Harbor Passport was a good value. The tour guides were informative and helpful. All the sites were very interesting, and there was always someone to answer questions. I particularly enjoyed the old film footage at the Pacific Aviation museum.

We participated as a family of four, including two children (a third-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student). We joined a movie location tour and a visit to Secret Island.

During the movie location tour, a Japanese guide explained the places used for filming movies and commercials while showing us the breathtaking spots on Oahu. The view of the coastline from the mountains was particularly stunning.

At Secret Island, we were able to casually experience various ocean activities, and the kids were very satisfied. They tried sea kayaking and paddling on a longboard for the first time. While opinions may vary, I appreciated that it wasn't a system where someone teaches you; instead, the equipment was just laid out for us to use freely, making it a very relaxed experience.

子供２人（中学３年、小学４年）を含む、家族４人で参加しました。
映画ロケ地めぐりのツアーとシークレットアイランドに参加しました。
映画ロケ地めぐりは日本語ガイドさんが、映画・ＣＭ撮影などに使われた場所を説明しながら、オアフ島の絶景スポットを案内してくれました。特に、山から見る、海岸線の景色が最高でした
また、シークレットアイランドでは、色々な海のアクティビティーを気軽に体験できて、子供は大満足。シーカヤック、ロングボードを使ったパドリング等を初めて体験。人によって意見は分かれるかもしれませんが、誰かが教えてくれるというシステムではなく、道具がただおいてあるだけなので、それを使って自由に使いながら体験するといった大変気軽なシステムだったところも良かったです。

We participated as a family of four, with my middle school daughter and elementary school son. The kids enjoyed playing volleyball on the sandbar in the middle of the ocean, but what really amazed all four of us was the snorkeling afterward, where we got to swim up close to sea turtles.

中学生の娘、小学生の息子、家族４名で参加しました。
子供たちは海の真ん中にあるサンドバーでのバレーボールを楽しんでいましたが、何と言ってもその後に行ったシュノーケリングでウミガメを間近に見ながら泳げたことは、家族４人全員大感激でした。

It was truly amazing! ♡
The weather, the waves… everything was perfect!

I even encountered a large group of dolphins…
and got to swim with sea turtles…

And above all, the crew I went with was just fantastic!
It was only half a day, but it was a tour packed with the essence of Hawaii!

With ukulele and hula dancing…
Ah, it was just so much fun!!! Aloha~

本当に最高でした♡!
この日は天気も波も…全てが最高!

イルカの大群にも出逢えたし…
ウミガメとも泳げたし…

そして何より一緒に行けたクルーが
最高すぎました!
時間にすると1日の半分なんですけど
ハワイが凝縮されたツアーでした!

ウクレレにフラダンスに…
あ〜もお楽しすぎました!!!アロハ〜

It was a fabulous your. Larry was very informational and funny. He was very prompt and you can tell he loves his job.
