All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

It's reassuring that there's an explanation in Japanese.
The view from the sandbar, which is inaccessible to individuals, is amazing.
It's a mysterious place that feels like being in the ocean but on land (coral).
The barbecue hamburgers were delicious.
We were lucky to encounter manta rays and turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral, we enjoyed schools of fish and a real aquarium experience!

日本語で説明があるから安心です。
個人では行けないサンドバーからの景色が最高です。
海の中にいるのに陸（珊瑚）のような・・不思議な場所です。
バーベキューのハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
運良くマンタとカメにも遭遇できました。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングでは魚の群れとリアル水族館が楽しめました！

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the beautiful ocean, and I had a great time. We boarded a medium-sized boat that could hold about 50 people and set off for the sandbar, which took about 30 minutes. Along the way, we were able to see sea turtles and rays, but not as many as I had hoped. I wonder if it was due to the season?

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we were quickly provided with snorkeling gear and enjoyed swimming while looking into the water from the boat, where there was a lookout. Below us were mostly coral reefs, and we could see various colorful fish swimming among them. We spent over an hour in the water, and when we returned to the boat, we were able to eat a hamburger made with grilled meat from a barbecue. I was so hungry that I wanted to eat another one. Drinks were unlimited.

We rented a car to visit Hanauma as a family instead of going on a tour, but since the sandbar was part of a tour, we had pick-up and drop-off from the hotel, and lunch was included. The guide kindly explained everything, so we were able to enjoy it quite a bit.

Since it was a family trip with six people, my grandchildren, who are in middle and high school, were much happier than us older folks. Thank you very much!

ハワイに来たからには綺麗な海を満喫したかったのですが、
とても楽しめました。50人乗りぐらいの中型船に乗って
サンドバーまで３０分ぐらいかけて船出しました。
途中ウミガメやエイを見ることが出来ましたが期待したほどは
見られませんでした。時期的な問題だったのかしら？
サンドバーに着くとすぐにシュノーケリングを貸してもらい
船の上でしっかり見張りがいるところで海中を覗きながら
遊泳をしました。下は殆どがサンゴ礁でその間を色んな色をした
魚が泳いでいるところを見ることが出来ました。
一時間以上海の中にいて、船に戻りますとバーベキューで肉を焼いた
ハンバーガーを各自一個ずつ食べることが出来ました。
お腹が空いたのでもう一個ぐらい食べたかったです。
飲み物は飲み放題でした。
ハナウマには家族でレンタカーを借りてツアーでなく行きましたが、
サンドバーはツアーでしたのでホテルからの送り迎えもあり、
昼食もついて案内人にも親切に説明してもらいましたので
それなりに楽しむことが出来ました。
６人の家族旅行でしたので中高生の孫たちは我々年寄りより
数倍大喜びでした。有難うございました！

Wes is the best! Very informative! We learned a lot!

It's a great time ! Yeeeeeeeeeee! Boat on boat action

About 20 years ago, I had a great time when I visited as a young person, so now that my child is in middle school, I took them along.

About half of the customers were Japanese, and since it was a weekday, there were quite a few people. (There were hardly enough to worry about the operation.) Perhaps because of that, it seemed there were limited staff, and not all attractions were operational. There was a schedule posted, but it wasn't accurate; out of five attractions, two were closed. After going on the attractions that were open a few times, they would eventually close, and the staff there would move to become attendants at the next attraction. Unfortunately, this meant there were some attractions we couldn't experience.

You might think it's too disappointing considering the admission fee is about 10,000 yen per person! However, given the current extreme depreciation of the yen and the cost of living in Hawaii being 2-3 times that of Japan, the local currency value (in terms of perception) would be around 3,000 yen for a Japanese person, so in that sense, the price is understandable.

Since there were four of us, we opted to use Uber instead of including transportation.

今から20年ほど前、若いころ行って楽しかったので、
子供が中学生になったので連れて行きました。

お客さんの半分ほどが日本人で
平日だったせいもあり、かなり人は少なかったです。
（運営を心配するほどしか居ない）
そのためか、スタッフの数が限られていたようで
アトラクションは全部が稼働していることはなかったです。
一応タイムスケ－ジュ－ルが書いてありますが、
正確ではなく、５つのアトラクションがあれば２つはお休みしている状態でした。
稼働しているアトラクションを数回やると、そのうちCLOSEになって
そこのスタッフが移動して次のアトラクションの係員になるという感じでした。
なので残念ながら、できなかったアトラクションもありました。


入場料が一人１万円程もするのに、しょぼすぎだろう！！って
思うかもしれませんが、
現在は超円安でハワイの物価も日本の2-3倍になっているので、
現地の通貨価値（感覚）だと日本円（日本人）の感覚で3000円程度
だろうからそれなら納得の価格です。

うちは4名で参加したので送迎は付けずにuberを使いました。

Awsome trip. I'm 66 and would never scuba dive or even snorkel. The sub let me see all the colorful fish, and even a shark underwater. They were all over the sunken ship. So much more wonderful than watching a movie.

Was the best experience in Hawaii. The driver was really friendly and nicely.
Kualoa Ranch is a beautiful place and you can enjoy with the family.
We did Hollywood Filming tour and was amazing, We saw the different places were many movies filmed and we loved the culture. You can see the plantation and different animals around of the ranch.
Thank you Kualoa Ranch for the best experience!

The hamburger was delicious.

It was very enjoyable to see turtles at the sandbar and snorkel in the beautiful sea.

ハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

サンドバーもカメが見れたり、きれいな海でのシュノーケリングは、とても楽しかったです

This day will definitely remain in the memory of my children and me for the rest of my life. The trip was wonderful thanks to the activities that were prepared by the ship's crew and of course the unusually beautiful nature around. Huge praise also goes to the crew, who were willing to answer all our questions and very helpful with the activities. Personally, I would like to thank Tyson, who was extremely helpful. If anyone is hesitating whether to try this trip on their vacation, I strongly recommend that don't hesitate for a second, because I guarantee that you won't regret it. Once again, a huge thank you and I wish the whole crew all the best.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I had a good time overall on the second tour, but the explanations were all in English. For those who understand, the jokes make sense, but for those who don't speak English, it's completely meaningless and boring. I wish they would at least provide a translation device.

2回目のツアーで全体的には楽しかったが、すべて英語の説明でわかる人には冗談が通じるが、英語が分からないと全く意味不明でつまらない。せめて翻訳機くらい用意してほしい。

Mommy daughter trip was the best. This trip is perfect for kids. Plenty of excitement and they move at their own pace. She loved swimming at the Sandbar and watching the sea turtles. We took photos and slashed around. The best was the snorkeling. It was easy for her to learn with practice at the Sandbar. The hot chocolate and Funyuns chips were delicious. Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

I participated at the end of January 2024. The weather on the day was perfect, but unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We only caught a glimpse of one from a distance, but not everyone in my family was able to see it. At the end, tickets for another boat ride were distributed, but we couldn't accept them due to our travel schedule. This is just how nature is, so there's nothing we can do about it.

2024年1月末に参加させていただきました。当日の天気は申し分なかったのですが、結局クジラはほぼ見えませんでした。一度だけ遠目に見えたのですが、家族全員が見るというのはかないませんでした。最後にもう一度乗船できるチケットが配られましたが、我が家は旅程の関係上いただきませんでした。こればかりは自然相手なので仕方がありませんね。

First, they take photos for you, and you can purchase them before disembarking at the end. All the photos are beautifully edited, so we bought the entire set.

You can have the best experience without getting wet or dirty. We saw a lot of beautiful fish.

It was also fun to see the submarine coming up to the surface for the first time!

We didn't specifically download the Japanese audio guide, but we were busy enjoying the underwater scenery, so it was fine without the audio guidance.

最初に写真を撮影してくれるのですが、最後下船前に購入可能です。どの写真もとても素敵に加工してくれているので、うちは全セットで購入しました。


水に濡れたり汚れる事もなく、最高の体験が出来ます。沢山綺麗な魚が見られました。　　

潜水艦が水面に上がってくる姿も初めて見たので楽しかったです！

日本語音声ガイドはうちは特にダウンロードはしませんでしたが、
海中の景色を見るのに忙しく、特に音声案内は無くても大丈夫でした。

There are many attractions that are on a different scale compared to Japan, and the kids were really excited. It wasn't too crowded, and there wasn't much waiting time, so we were able to use our time meaningfully. The tour duration was just right for us adults, but it seemed like the kids wanted to play a bit more, so I wish the tour had been a little longer. I definitely want to participate again next time.

日本とスケールの違うアトラクションが多くて、子供達も大はしゃぎでした。そんなに混雑も無く、待ち時間もあまり無く、時間を有意義に使う事ができました。我々大人は丁度良いツアー時間でしたが、子供達は遊び足らなかったようなので、もう少しツアー時間が長かったらなと思いました。
次回も是非参加したいと思います。

It was quite crowded, and there wasn't enough space between our fishing spots and the neighboring ones. I had reserved to use two rods, but ended up using just one. We were the only Japanese people there.

I used a two-hook rig with a body. The bait was cuttlefish. I caught four fish: two Mumehagi (like a tropical version of the Umatsurahagi), one fish that looked like an old man, and one fish that resembled an Eso. I missed two big bites.

The fishing time felt like just under two hours. I think if you can find the bottom, you can catch fish. The current was fast, and everyone was struggling. The fish that looked like an old man probably could have been eaten, but the crew asked us to release it, so we couldn't eat it.

There were no life jackets. It was the first time I fished without one. It might be that there are no laws requiring them overseas. The tour reservation mentioned that water and juice were included, but there was no provision from the boat (perhaps there was an explanation, but as far as I could see, no one around me received anything), so I think it's best to bring your own drinks.

The scenery is very beautiful. Sunscreen is a must.

結構混んでいて、隣の釣座との間が充分になく、2本竿を出す予約をしていましたが、1本にしました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
胴付きの2本針仕掛け。エサはイカの切り身。
4匹釣れました。
ムスメハギ2匹(ウマヅラハギの南国バージョンみたいな)
オジサンっぽい魚1匹
エソっぽい魚1匹
大きなあたり2回バラし

釣りの時間は、体感で2時間弱ぐらいですかね。
底を取れれば、釣れると思います。
潮流れが速く、皆さん苦戦してました。
オジサンっぽい魚は、おそらく食べられそうでしたが、船の方にリリースしてくださいと言われ、食べられず。
ライフジャケットは無し。釣りをするときライフジャケットしなかったのは初めて。海外ではしなくて良い法律なのかもしれません。
水、ジュースが含まれるとツアーの予約には書いてありましたが、船からの提供は無かったので(もしかしたら、説明はあったのかもしれませんが、私が見る限り、周りの人も誰も貰ってませんでした)、水分はしっかりと持参したほうが良いと思います。
景色はとてもきれいです。
日焼け止め必須です。

The slider is operational, but due to a lack of staff, when one side is in operation, the other type is closed. The opening hours are only about five hours, so it feels incomplete... Furthermore, snacks were confiscated during the baggage check! The wave pool is only occasionally operational. The lazy river is also closed. It's really not functioning well...

スライダーが稼働はするが、スタッフ不足で片方稼働したら、反対のもう一種は休み。　開園時間も5時間ほどなので、不完全燃焼・・・
　さらに、荷物検査でお菓子は没収！
波のプールもたまにしか稼働せず。
流れるプールもお休み。
やばいくらい動いていないですよ。。。

I watched a feature on TV and participated with my middle and high school sons. The size of the facility was smaller than I had imagined, which was disappointing. The highlight, the slide, also has time restrictions; when one side is open, the other side is closed. Usually, only half of it is operational. As a result, the waiting times are long. It's aimed at elementary school students in the lower grades.

テレビの特集をみて、中高生の息子たちと参加。
施設の規模感は、想像以上に狭くガッカリでした。
売りのスライダーも利用時間制限があり、片方がオープンすると、片方はクローズします。通常は半分しか稼働していません。それゆえに待ち時間が長いです。小学生低学年までが対象。

I caught a lot of fish and had a great time! They even grilled the fish for us right there. The fishing technique is a bit challenging, but once you get the hang of it, you can catch a lot!

沢山釣れて遊べました!魚もその場で焼いて食べさせてくれました釣り方は難しいですなパターンを掴めば良く釣れますよ！

As a big Jurassic Park enthusiast an absolute must do. Several movie sets.

It was a good experience with my kids and families . We enjoy the performance and dances . The food is great we enjoy it too.

ALOHA!
I was able to visit the long-awaited Manoa Falls for my 60th birthday.
I was impressed by the various plants and untouched nature, and above all, I had a wonderful time thanks to Susumu's delightful talk!
MAHALO!
I definitely want to repeat this experience.
A hui hou!

ALOHA！
還暦を迎えて念願のマノア滝を訪れることができました。
様々な植物と手つかずの自然に感激、そして何と言ってもススムさんの愉快なトークで楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました！
MAHALO！
是非またリピートしたいと思います。
ア・フイ・ホウ！

I boarded the ship after a long time. The always courteous service makes sightseeing enjoyable. This time, I was able to observe sharks, sea turtles, rays, and many other fish, which left me very satisfied. It's rare to encounter a situation as perfect as this, but I think a leisurely stroll underwater is enjoyable, so if you have the time, I definitely think it's worth participating.

久しぶりに乗船しました。いつも丁寧な対応で楽しく観光出来ます、今回はシャーク、ウミガメ、エイ、他多くの魚を観察することが出来非常に満足でした。今回の様な完璧と言える場面にはなかなか遭遇しませんが、ゆっくりと海中散歩は楽しいと思いますので時間合えば是非参加してみる価値はあると思います。

This tour includes transportation and admission tickets to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii.

The transportation service does not provide Japanese support, but once you arrive, there are staff members who speak Japanese fluently and will provide thorough explanations and guidance, so there are no issues at all.

Weekdays are less crowded, but the attractions alternate between being open and closed every few minutes, which can be confusing without prior knowledge.

Also, it seems that the lazy river is closed on certain days, and unfortunately, it was closed when I participated.

To avoid traffic, we were scheduled to gather at the bus by 3 PM, and since the park opens at 10:30 AM, we only had about 4 hours to enjoy ourselves, but I think we were able to have a satisfying experience.

本ツアーは送迎＋ウェットアンドワイルドハワイの入場券となります。

送迎の方は日本語対応じゃないですが、現地に着けば日本語バッチリなスタッフさんが至れり尽くせりで説明や案内をしてくれるので、何の問題もありません。

平日は空いていますが、その分アトラクションが隣り合う同士に数十分ごとOnとOffを繰り返すのは、予備知識がないと戸惑います。

また流れるプールもやってない曜日があるようで、私が参加したときはcloseとなっていて残念でした。

渋滞を避けるためか15時にはバスに集合して帰ることになり、オープンは10時半からだったため実質遊べるのは4時間ぐらいですが、それなりに満足に楽しめたと思います。

I participated with my elementary school child. There is a reception at the Hilton Hawaiian Village beach, so when we went there, we were told to head to the boat dock at the end of the pier. It was close, and since that was the only option, it was easy to find our way.

There were about 30 participants in the tour at the same time. First, we took a boat out to sea and then transferred to a submarine. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery during the boat ride was very beautiful and enjoyable.

The submarine experience was relatively monotonous, but I was satisfied because we were able to see sharks and rays.

小学生の子供と二人で参加しました。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのビーチに受付があるのでそこへ行くと、桟橋の先の船乗り場に行くように言われました。近いし、それしかないので、迷いようもなく簡単でした。
ツアーは、同じ時間帯に、30人ぐらいかなと思いますが、参加者がいました。まず船で沖合に行き、潜水艦に乗り換えました。お天気に恵まれて、船での移動も景色がとても良くて楽しかったです。
潜水艦の方は割と単調で、でもサメやエイも見れたので満足です。

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.

I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.

I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.

Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.

７年ぶりの参加で、今回は２歳５歳９歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは７年前も同じ。

せめて９歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。

７年前はシャトルサービス４５ドルくらいだったと思うが、今は値段がほぼ倍。

全体に、小さな子連れには不向きだと思いましたが、
これは我が家の事情なので、★４つにします。

The sunset, night view, and Friday fireworks were all very beautiful. The food was delicious, but I felt it was a bit lacking in quantity. The five-star seats were quite cold, so a jacket is a must. It was so cold that I often went outside to warm up. (laugh)

サンセット、夜景、金曜日の花火どれもとても綺麗でした。料理は美味しかったのですが少し量が足りなくて物足りない感じです。5スターの席はかなり寒いので上着は必須です。寒すぎて船外にちょくちょく暖をとりに行ってました。笑

This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.

I went by rental car without a shuttle service. The parking fee was $20. I was able to park in a covered area, so the car didn't get too hot. There were relatively few Japanese people. There was a baggage check upon entry, and items that are not allowed are confiscated. Locker rental is an additional cost. I rented a larger locker for $18. Credit cards are accepted. Overall, there were fewer customers, so I was able to slide on the slides whenever I wanted. Unfortunately, the lazy river was closed on the day I visited, which was very disappointing. The operating hours that day were from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which felt a bit short, but I had a lot of fun.

送迎なしでレンタカーで行きました。駐車場代20ドル。屋根のある場所に停められたので車中が灼熱にならずに済みました。比較的日本の人たちは少なかったです。入場時に荷物検査があり、持ち込めないものを没収されます。ロッカー代は別途かかります。大きい方のロッカーを借りましたが、18ドル。クレジットカードが使えます。全体的にお客さんも少なめで、スライダー系はやりたい時にすべれました。行った日は流れるプールだけがクローズしていてとても残念でした。行った日は営業時間が10:30〜15:00までと短かかったので、ちょっと遊び足りない気がしましたが、とても楽しかったです

I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.

We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!
