All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

Since it was mid-April, most tours had already ended. Just when I was about to give up, I came across this tour. I participated knowing that the chances of seeing whales were low, but I was able to see several of them. I even witnessed the moment when they dove straight down to the seabed. The other tour participants were also cheering. It was fun. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

4月の中旬だったので、ほとんどのツアーが終了されていました。諦めかけていた時にこのツアーに遭遇しました。
クジラに会えない確率の方が高いのを覚悟して参加しましたが、何頭も見ることができました。まっすぐに海底に潜る瞬間の尾ひれも見れました。ツアー客の人たちも歓声を上げていました。楽しかったです。又参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ）港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな？
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな？と思いました。

I wanted my 5-year-old child to have an experience, so I participated with them as a dad. I watched from a designated spot a little distance away as an observer. At first, my child was a bit scared, but as they got used to it, the experience ended. Overall, we were very satisfied!

However, since the observation area was surrounded by plants, I ended up getting bitten by mosquitoes a lot... I found myself fidgeting while watching. So, for those who are observing, please be careful!

子供（5歳）に体験させたくて、パパと参加させました。
私は見学者として、指定された少し離れた場所からみていました。初めは、びびっていたのですが・・・だんだんと慣れてきたころに終わりました。でも大満足！

ただ、見学の場所が草木があったところだったからか・・私は蚊にさされまくり・・・途中から落ち着きのない動きをしながら見るはめに・・・見学するかた気をつけてくださいね！

I handed the voucher to the staff (who didn't speak Japanese) on the bus and received a wristband pass, but when I asked about lunch and the bodyboarding lesson times, I was told, "Your passport is different," and they refused to help. After calling a staff member who understood Japanese and showing my reservation slip, they apologized profusely, saying, "You've completely mismatched your passport," and gave me a different colored passport. The beef for lunch was delicious, but the selection was a bit limited. Also, it seemed that due to a lack of staff, the attractions were alternating between being open and closed, so despite the number of visitors, we had to wait quite a bit to ride anything (it might be different during peak season). The bodyboarding lesson had the wave pool almost to ourselves, and with the assistance of one staff member for timing and a push, I was thrilled to ride the waves beautifully. However, the waves were too high for toddlers, so it might be better not to choose the deluxe plan. On the way back, even though the park closed at 3:30 PM, we had to gather at 2:45 PM, which left us with little time to play, and I felt a bit regretful, wanting to enjoy more.

バスでスタッフ(日本語不可)にバウチャーを渡して腕輪型のパスをもらったが、現地で昼食やボディボードレッスンの時間を尋ねたら「あなたのパスポートは違う」と拒否された。日本語のわかるスタッフを呼び出してもらって予約控えを見せたら「完全にパスポートを付け間違っています、すみません」と平謝りで別の色のパスポートをもらいました。ランチのビーフは美味しかったけどちょっと品数少なめ、またアトラクションもスタッフが少ないためか順々に営業と休止を繰り返しているので入場者の割にどれも結構並ばないと乗れない状態でした(繁盛期は違うのでしょうが)。ボディボードレッスンは波プールが貸切り状態になり、スタッフ1名にタイミングと後押しでアシストしてもらうと綺麗に波に乗れて嬉しかったです。ただ幼児は波が高くてボディボードは無理なのでデラックスプランにしない方が良いかも。帰りは15:30閉園なのに14:45集合で遊ぶ時間が少なくてちょっと心残り、もっともっと遊びたい心境でした。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and I participated for the first time. I had a great time interacting directly with dolphins and watching the show. My 74-year-old mother also joined, and she had a wonderful experience and was very happy.

４度目のハワイで、初めて参加しました。
イルカと直接触れ合い、ショーを見てとても楽しかったです。
７４歳の母も参加しましたが、貴重な体験をし、
とても喜んでいました。

I participated in the encounter with my husband and our 1 year and 10-month-old daughter. We joined without transportation, but since it was during spring break, we arrived at the park just as the shuttle bus was arriving too. The ticket counter and the package registration counter were overflowing with people. Those who had signed up for transportation probably received some explanation on how to participate in the package, but we managed to navigate through the crowd (laughs) to sign the waiver, purchase a locker token, and change into our swimsuits after borrowing life jackets in the changing area, getting ready for the experience!

We moved to the dolphin pool and received a safety briefing in English from the local staff (they mixed in some broken Japanese), and then it was finally time to enter the pool! At first, my daughter was scared of the larger dolphins, but gradually she started enjoying it while saying "Dolphin!"

Then it was our turn. First, I got to kiss and touch a dolphin. I couldn't help but get excited seeing the smooth, adorable eyes of the dolphin! Next, my husband and daughter went, and despite my worries that she might cry from being too close, she managed to give the dolphin a kiss!!!

The experience of kissing a dolphin was not only memorable for me, but seeing my daughter's joyful face made it even more special.

I would definitely recommend this to our friends' families!☆

夫と1歳10ヵ月の娘と一緒にエンカウンターに参加しました。
送迎なしで参加したのですが、春休み中ということもありパークに到着したらちょうど送迎バスも到着した時で、チケットカウンターもパッケージ参加受付カウンターも人・人・人であふれかえっていました。送迎ありで申し込んだ人はきっとどのような手順でパッケージに参加するのか説明があったようですが、私たちは溢れる人たちの中なんとか周りの様子を見ながら（笑)ウェーバーにサインをしロッカーのトークンを購入し、更衣スペースでライフジャケットを借り着替えをして準備完了！
ドルフィンプールに移動し、安全ガイドをローカルのスタッフに英語で（カタコトの日本語は交えてましたが)受けていよいよプールに！自分より大きなイルカに初めは怖がっていましたが、徐々にドッフィン！と言いながら楽しんでいました。
そしていよいよ我が家の番。まずは私がイルカとキス＆タッチ。すべすべで愛くるしい目のイルカに思わず興奮してしまいました♪次に夫と娘、近すぎて泣いてしまわないかという母の不安をよそにちゃんとキスしてました！！！
イルカとの初キッス体験は私自身もですが娘の喜ぶ顔が見れてとても良い思い出ができました。

お友達家族にもおすすめしたいです☆

This year, I participated with my parents and children, spanning three generations. Since we had children with us, we decided to join the Honolulu for whale watching, as it seemed that the boat activities were not suitable for them yet. I had heard that the area where whales appear is beyond Hawaii Kai, but it seemed that the Honolulu mainly offered sightseeing, as the tour only went as far as providing a view of Waikiki. If you have the time and are mainly interested in sightseeing, it might be fine, but for those hoping for the kind of whale watching advertised, I think other activities would be better.

今年お正月に両親、子供と3世代で参加しました。
子供がいるため、ホエールウォッチングにはまだボートでのアクティビティは出来そうになかったので
ホノルル号で参加を決めたのですが、
ホエールの現れるエリアはハワイカイより先と聞いておりましたが、ホノルル号は遊覧がメインなのか
ワイキキを見渡せるあたりまでの遊覧でした。
時間があり遊覧をメインとされるのであればいいかと思いますが、宣伝で使ってるようなホエールウォッチングを希望される方は
他のアクティビティがいいかと思いました。

We participated as a family on April 2nd. Since there was no pickup at 8 AM, I was thinking of taking the trolley bus, but it seemed that it wasn't running yet. I heard that I could take the bus, so I waited for the 19 or 20 mentioned in the book, but since I didn't check the schedule, it took a while to arrive. I ended up taking a taxi in a hurry.

The office location was hard to find. I stayed under the Aloha Tower for a while, but since I needed to go to the restroom, I headed towards the large ship and found the office. They take a photo when you board, which costs $18. If the waves are calm, there's no worry about seasickness. You can see the whales' spouts and tails from a distance. They announced that you can only see the high jumps in winter. The kids got bored quickly.

I was able to enjoy a nice nap while being gently hit by the pleasant sea breeze until we returned to the port (laughs). There were a few foreigners eating fruit, so it seems like bringing food is not prohibited...

4/2に家族で参加しました
8時集合の迎えなしだったのでトロリーバスでいこうかとおもっていましたが
まだ運行時間ではなかったようでthe BUSでも行けると聞いたので
本に載っていた19か20を待ちましたが時間を調べなかったのでなかなか来ず
焦ってタクシーで行きました
事務所の場所が分りづらい
アロハタワーの真下にしばらくいましたがトイレに行きたくなったので
大型船の方へ行くと事務所が見つかりました
乗る時に写真を撮ってくれます、18ドルします
波が穏やかであれば船酔いの心配はないです
鯨の潮吹きと尻尾が遠目で見ることが出来ます
ハイジャンプは冬にしか見れないとアナウンスしてました
子供達はすぐに飽きてしまいました
港に帰るまで心地よい潮風に打たれて気持ちよく寝れました（笑）
果物食べてる外人さんが数人いたので持ち込み出来ないことはないようですが…

My kids had a blast!! The minute we arrived, Chris was there to greet us and within minutes my kids were on the banana boat having the time of their lives. They fell off couple of times when the banana boat zipped over the wakes but they swam back, got back on and did it all over again! My kids told me the best part was the bumper tube, they all had some incredible air time LOL. This is such a great activity and as a parent to see my kids have fun, smile and tell me they had soooooooooo much fun..such an incredible feeling! I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know!!!

This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

The boat rocked quite a bit. It was difficult to stand, so those who are prone to seasickness might find it a bit challenging. Eating was also difficult in those conditions. The whales didn't show themselves very often. After seeing them spout water a few times, we only caught a glimpse of their backs, but it was still moving. Onboard, there were plenty of fun activities like hula dancing, lei-making, and ukulele lessons. I made a lei to take home. I am grateful for such a valuable and fulfilling experience. I would like to go again as a repeat visitor. Thank you, Alan1, for the wonderful memories. Mahalo~

かなり船が揺れました。立っていられない程なので、船酔いする方は少し難しいかもしれません。食事もその中では難しかったです。クジラもなかなか姿を見せてはくれませんでした。潮を吹いている瞬間を何回か見た後、背中がちょこっと見えただけでしたが、感動しました。船内ではフラ体験やレイ作成体験、ウクレレレッスン等楽しい行事が盛沢山。レイを作って持ち帰りました。とっても貴重な充実した体験をさせて頂き感謝です。またリピーターとして行きたいと思います。alan1さん楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。マハロ~

I participated in late March, towards the end of the season. It seems that if you can't see any whales, you can get a reboarding ticket, but due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't reboard, so I was worried about whether I would see any whales.

In the end, I was able to see whales up close. I had booked a meal-inclusive course, but if you see a whale, you should focus on watching the whale and interrupt your meal. There is plenty of time for dining.

シーズン終盤の3月下旬に参加しました。
見られない場合は再乗船券をもらえるようですが、スケジュールの都合で再乗船はできないので、クジラが見られるか心配でした。

結果は間近でクジラを見ることができました。食事付きのコースを予約しましたが、クジラが見えたら食事を中断してクジラを見ることに専念すべきです。食事の時間は結構あります。

There is a wide variety of slides that even adults can enjoy. There are some height restrictions, but most slides are accessible for elementary school students in lower grades. However, I don't think it's a place you would want to visit repeatedly.

スライダーの種類が豊富で大人でも楽しめます。一部身長制限がありますが、小学校低学年でもほとんどのスライダー利用可能です。ただ、何度もリピートするほどではないと思います。

We participated as a family of three. The driver picked us up alone.

Since there was no guide, there was no explanation in the car.

We arrived at 10:00. Participants were lined up in a row in front of the gate. There was no explanation of what time the opening was, and we had to wait in the blazing sun until the opening at 10:30. (It was there that we learned it opened at 10:30.)

We headed to the lockers. There were no explanations or Japanese signage, so we had no idea about the system. By watching the people in line at the shop, we learned that you pay for the locker there to receive a key. By the time we figured it out, there was a long line. (Later, I saw Japanese people who arrived after us panicking, thinking there were no available lockers because they saw that the keys were not hanging.)

Perhaps due to a lack of staff, not all slides were operating at the same time. They were alternating with neighboring ones, but we had no idea how long the intervals were. Everywhere we went was closed, and the places that were open had long waits. The lazy river only started operating after 12:00...

There were cockroaches floating in the lazy river...

While I enjoyed the thrilling slides and the wonderful scenery, the lack of understanding of the system meant we could only use a small part of it, resulting in a lot of wasted time. Most of the staff did not speak Japanese. In the end, there were even slides that I never saw operating. It left me feeling that one visit might be enough.

家族３人で参加しました。運転手の方一人でﾋﾟｯｸｱｯﾌﾟ。

ｶﾞｲﾄﾞがいない為、車内でとくに何の説明もありませんでした。

10時に到着。ｹﾞｰﾄ前に参加者一列に並ばされました。ｵｰﾌﾟﾝは何時との説明も無く、ただ炎天下で、ｵｰﾌﾟﾝの10時半まで待たされました。（そこで10時半ｵｰﾌﾟﾝと知る）

とりあえずﾛｯｶｰへ向かう。説明も日本語表記も無いのでｼｽﾃﾑが全く分からない。売店に並ぶ人を見て、そこでﾛｯｶｰ代金を支払うと鍵をもえらえる仕組みなんだと知る。知った時には長蛇の列。（後からくる日本人は鍵がぶら下がっていないﾛｯｶｰを見て、空きがないと勘違いして焦る人も見かけた）

ｽﾀｯﾌが少ないのか、ｽﾗｲﾀﾞｰが全て同時に稼働しない。隣り合うものと時間交替になっている。それも何時間で交替なのかも分からない。行くところ行くところｸﾛｰｽﾞばかりで、稼働しているところは順番待ち。流れるﾌﾟｰﾙも12時過ぎてから稼働…　

流れるﾌﾟｰﾙにｺﾞｷﾌﾞﾘが浮いていた…

日本には無いｽﾘﾙのあるｽﾗｲﾀﾞｰと素晴らしい景色でそれ自体は楽しめましたが、とにかくｼｽﾃﾑが何も分からない事でごく一部しか利用できず、無駄な時間ばかりでした。日本語通じないｽﾀｯﾌがほとんど。結局、稼働したのを一度も見なかったｽﾗｲﾀﾞｰさえありました。一度行けばいいかなという残念な感じでした。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and it was a fun experience. The contrast between the buildings of Waikiki and the natural beauty of Diamond Head was very beautiful and moving.

However, it was a bit disappointing for my wife, who had been looking forward to the whale watching cruise since before our trip.

当日は天気も良く楽しいクルージングでした。
ワイキキのビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの自然の対比が大変きれいで感動しました。

ただ旅行前からホエールウォッチングクルーズを期待していた奥さんにとってはちょっと残念な結果となりました。

私たちは素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。3歳の子供がクジラを見るのを見られてとても良かったです。

We had a great time. It was great to watch out 3 year old to see the whale.

It wad so fun. Our 3 year old had a great time.

The staff provided an explanation about the ecology of whales, which increased my anticipation for discovering mother and baby whales. I was somewhat surprised to learn that the male whale is not the father of the baby but rather a potential mate. The baby whale's spouting was very cute.

係の方が鯨の生態についての説明を入れてくれたので、親子鯨の発見にますます期待が高まりました。雄の鯨は赤ちゃんのお父さんではなく次のお相手だということが多少びっくりでしたが。赤ちゃん鯨の潮吹きがとても可愛かったです。

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).

I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!

Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!

This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!

家族５名（大人２・子供３）で参加しました。

小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました！！

船上でのダンス、美味しいチーズバーガー、フラダンスのレッスン・・・とにかく大満足のツアーです！！

我が家のHAWAII旅行１番の思い出になりました！！

This was fun! The day flew by in no time. It was great that not only the kids but also the adults enjoyed it. The departure time was perfect, but I wished I could have enjoyed it until closing. I wonder if this attraction would never get approved in Japan because it's so close to the edge＾＾.

これは楽しい！一日の経過があっという間に感じられました。
子供たちはもちろん、大人まで楽しめたのはよかったです。出発時間は最適でしたが、閉演までずっと楽しみたかったです。
日本ではきっと認可が下りないくらいぎりぎりのアトラクションなのではないかなぁ＾＾

I participated on March 22. Since it was near the end of the season, I was worried about not seeing any whales, but I thought it would be good to enjoy the cruising experience. While we were still on our way to the destination, we saw a spout at the back of the boat. There was no announcement at that time. After that, with the captain's announcement, we were able to see spouts and dark bodies multiple times. When the tail fin was visible, all the participants cheered. The wind was strong, but my whole family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

3月22日に参加しました。シーズンの終わりに近かったので、鯨が見れない不安もあったのですが、クルージングを楽しめれば良いと思い参加しました。まだ目的の場所に向かっている途中、船の後方に潮吹きが見れました。そのときは船内アナウンスもありませんでした。その後、船長のアナウンスとともに、何度も潮吹きや黒い体が見れました。尾びれが見えたときは、参加者がみんな歓声を上げていました。風は強かったのですが、家族全員満足しました。ありがとうございました。

We participated with our family on March 27. The explanations were only in English (of course...), so the kids seemed a bit anxious, but they were satisfied to interact with the dolphins. The shows in the park were similar to those in Japan.

3月27日に家族で参加しました。説明が英語（当然ですが・・・）だけだったので、子供たちは少し不安に思っていたようですが、イルカと触れ合えて満足していました。パーク内のショー等は日本のものと同じようなものでした。

I didn't feel seasick on the large ship, and there was no rocking. Although I couldn't see anything on the way there, we spotted a whale when we turned around! It was off the coast between Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, showing its back and tail. I was able to capture it on video.

The staff provided explanations, but it was unfortunate that we couldn't hear them well from the first floor. The second floor might be better for staff who want to see far away. I think it's fine for visitors to be on the first floor.

The whale is not visible in the photo. The mountain is Diamond Head.

大きな船で揺れもなく酔いませんでした。
行きは観ることができなかったけれど、Ｕターンしたところでクジラを発見！ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチの間の沖合辺り。背中と尻尾。動画にも撮ることができました。
スタッフが説明してくれるのですが、１階にいた私たちにはよく聞き取れなかったのが残念です。２階の方が遠くを見渡したいスタッフには良いのかも。見学者は１階でも良いと思います。
写真にはクジラは写っていません。山はダイヤモンドヘッド

I participated on March 24th. Since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication early, which may have helped, but I did feel a bit nauseous when the waves were rough. However, as soon as we spotted the whale, my seasickness disappeared. The sweet potato-like dish was delicious, and I even had seconds on the cookies. When the whale was spotted, there was a cheer from everyone.

３月２４日に参加しました。船酔いするので酔い止めを早めに飲んだせいか、一時波がきつい時だけ酔いましたがその後すぐくじらがみつかり酔いも吹っ飛びました。さつまいもみたいなのがおいしかったのと、クッキーもおかわりさました。
くじらが見えた時は、喚声があがりました。

I had a great time encountering sea turtles! The hamburgers were delicious, and the staff was very polite and pleasant. However, my third-grade son seemed a bit scared of snorkeling.

ウミガメにも出逢えて楽しかったです！ハンバーガーも美味しく、スタッフはとても丁寧で気持ち良かったです。ただ小学3年生の息子はシュノーケリングが少し怖かったようです。

In Japan, there are long lines for attractions, but here in Hawaii, you can wait without much stress, as expected ( ´ ▽ ` ). I went during the peak season, but I chose a weekday.

First, I headed straight to the lockers. After that, I just enjoyed the "less crowded attractions" as much as possible. I chose a course without lunch included, but the hot dogs at the concession stand were delicious. Honestly, when you're hungry, anything tastes good.

I felt it was a waste of time to have lunch, so I picked a course without a buffet, and it was the right choice since my kids were more into playing than eating. However, if you miss the timing to line up at the concession stand, you might lose about 30 minutes… so it's best to buy early.

I want to go again!

日本では長蛇の列…状態のアトラクションもここならそんなにストレスなく待てるのは、さすがハワイ( ´ ▽ ` )
行った時期はオンシーズンだったけど、平日を選んだ。
まずはロッカーにまっしぐら。その後は、とにかく「空いてるアトラクション」から楽しみまくるのみ。
ランチのついてないコースを選んだけど、売店のホットドックは美味しかったよ。てゆーか、腹空いてりゃ何でも美味しいし。
ランチの時間がもったいないからバイキングのついてないコースを選んだけど、子供も「飯より遊び」て感じだったから正解だった。
ただ、売店に並ぶタイミングをミスると30分くらいはロスするかも…
早めに買うべし。
また行きたいな~

WOW! From the moment we arrived at the pier (we drove as we had a toddler with us) Jenner was playful and set a great mood. Everyone was excited for a day on the water, even though the weather didn't look too great. The Sandbar was fantastic, it's a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean, walking around. My husband had NEVER snorkeled before and found it hard to put the experience into words; he saw fish he'd only ever seen in documentaries and he was fascinated by the colours and the way they would swim around him... he's now officially addicted. Lunch was really good; well organised, quick and tasty. Our little one kinda freaked out on the boat and the staff were great with cheering him up. Jenner played his guitar while we ate and I've never felt more relaxed and like I was "in Hawaii". We saw turtles, the coral reef we moved to after the sand bar was unbelievable - the marine life is abundant and a hot cocoa at the end of a day snorkeling in cooler water was a perfect e

I was truly thrilled to be able to touch the dolphins! Sea Life Park may not be very large, but the location overlooking the ocean is wonderful, and if I had more time, I would have loved to relax and gaze at the sea. There were frequent shows happening in various pools, so I felt like I was running towards the cheers. I wish I could have spent a bit more time there.

One disappointing thing was that we participated in the Dolphin Adventure, but we weren't informed that there were two pools. My mother and sister were waiting with a camera at the main pool, but we ended up in the back pool. It would be great if spectators could also join the pre-briefing.

The prices for photos and DVDs were a bit high, which was painful. However, the cuteness of the dolphins made it all worth it. My sister definitely wants to participate next time.

イルカに触れられて本当に感激でした！
シーライフパークはけして広くはないのですが、海を臨むロケーションは素晴らしく時間があればのんびり海を眺めていたいくらいでした。あちこちのプールで頻繁にショーをやっていたので歓声の上がる方へ走っていくといった感じでもう少し時間が取れれば良かったかな。
ひとつ残念だったことに、私たちはドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加したのですがプールが二つあることを知らされておらず、母と姉がメインプールでカメラを用意して待ち構えてたにもかかわらず…私たちは裏のプールに。
事前説明会には見学者も同行されると良いですね。
ちょっと高めの写真とＤＶＤ購入は痛かったです。
でも、イルカさんたちの可愛さで帳消しです。次回は姉も是非参加したいとのことです。

It was said that we couldn't get closer than 100 yards (just under 100 meters) for whale protection, but I felt like we could see the whales' tails, spouts, and backs from a few hundred meters away. I chose a plan that included lunch and transportation, but the lunch might have been unnecessary. (During the meal, there were announcements about whale sightings, so I couldn't eat in peace, and the food got cold and wasn't tasty.)

I think it would be better to separate the experiences: a reasonable morning tour focused on whale watching, and a sunset dinner cruise on the same Star of Honolulu for enjoying a meal. Also, since the whales were quite far away, I feel that my child wouldn't be very impressed even when they grow up a bit more. (Unless we were lucky enough to have the whales come closer.)

I chose the transportation option, but the area around Aloha Tower, where the boat departs, has a small mall, and it seemed like a nice place to stroll, so it might be better to take a taxi ourselves.

100ヤード（100メートル弱）以内には、鯨保護のために近寄れないとのことでしたが、感覚的には数百メートル先で鯨さんの尻尾や潮吹き、数回背中などが望めました。　私は1歳8ヶ月の子連れで、ランチつき、送迎付のプランを選択しましたが、ランチは余計だったかもしれません。（食べている間にも鯨発見！のアナウンスが流れたりして落ち着いて食べられず、冷めてしまって美味しくないので）
なので、鯨を見るなら鯨を見る、に集中したリーズナブルな午前中のツアー、お食事を楽しむなら同じスターオブホノルル号で行くサンセットディナークルーズ、と分けたほうが良いような気がしました。　また、あまりに鯨が遠いので、子どもは相当大きくなってもあまり感動しない気がします。（運良く近くに来てくれれば別でしょうけれども）。　
送迎付を選びましたが、船の発着するアロハタワー近辺はちょっとしたモールもあって、お散歩するのも楽しそうだったので自分たちでタクシーで行くほうが良いかもしれません。　

My dream of standing on a sandbar during my trip to Hawaii came true, and it was amazing. When I walked on the sandbar, the water was about ankle-deep, but standing there, I could see a beautiful panoramic view of the blue ocean, which felt wonderful. The staff kindly offered to take photos, saying, "Let’s take some pictures," and they captured various angles for us.

For snorkeling, I was provided with a life jacket, snorkel, and aqua pole (a cylindrical float), and I got ready. Since it was my first time snorkeling, they taught me how to use the equipment, and I swam. When I swam to the area with coral, I could see many small fish swimming around. I think it would be better to practice snorkeling beforehand so that you can swim further and enjoy it more. Those who were just in swimsuits looked a bit cold, but I wasn’t cold because I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt over my swimsuit.

The staff explained everything in Japanese, which made it easy to understand and reassuring. On the way, we also saw three large sea turtles swimming. It was a fun cruise tour, and I would love to go again.

ハワイ旅行でサンドバーの上に立つ夢がかない最高でした。サンドバーの上を歩くと水が足首くらいまであったけれどその上に立ち一面パノラマできれいな青い海が見えてとても気持ち良かったです。スタッフの方は「写真を撮りましょう。」と親切に声をかけて下さりいろいろな方向を向いた写真を撮って下さいました。
　
シュノーケリングでは、ライフジャケット、シュノーケル、アクアポール（円筒形ビート板）を貸してもらい身支度しました。スノーケリングは初めてでしたので使い方を教えてもらい泳ぎました。サンゴのある所まで泳いで行くと小魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが見えました。シュノーケリングは事前に練習して行く方が遠くまで泳げて楽しめると思いました。水着だけの人は少し寒そうでしたが私は、水着の上に半袖Ｔシャツを着ていたので寒くなかったです。

スタッフの方が日本語で話して説明して下さったのでよくわかり安心できました。また、行く途中に３びき大きなウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ました。楽しいクルーズツアーでした。また、行ってみたいです
