All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

The group felt fortunate that besides seeing the Spinner Dolphins, the Bottle Nose Dolphins came so close to the boat, a number of the guys had the urge to get in the water with them. One took videos of this rare occurrence and showed it to friends on the island. The meeting with 3-4 sea turtles were scarey but awesome to see while snorkeling.

The only disappointment was that we lost time and had to cut the snorkeling short and didn't get to use the water slide. It was probably due to the sacrifice of time spent with the dolphins which was fine (changed the outcome of the adventure but not a bad thing).

This was great.

I boarded the larger submarine. We took a regular boat out to sea and watched as the one we were going to board surfaced before getting on.

Since it was a session with explanations in Japanese, it seemed like the kids understood well.

Whenever we spotted fish, there were squeals of excitement. Even the adults were thrilled when they saw sharks and sea turtles.

Swimming in the ocean is nice, but for those who can't dive, I definitely recommend participating in this activity.

このアクティビティに参加する事をおすすめします。

I have experienced several activities where I could interact with dolphins in Japan, but this was my first time doing the Royal Swim, where I was pushed by two dolphins on the soles of my feet and slid along the water. I wondered if I would be able to hold onto the dorsal fin properly and if I would fall off right away even with their help, but the dolphins seemed to adjust well, and it was fine (laughs).

Before entering the pool, we had a briefing with a group of four foreign families and three Japanese people (we watched a video for Japanese participants beforehand), but since it was in English, I couldn't understand what was being said. However, a Japanese staff member came over during the briefing to explain things. After entering the pool, I noticed the foreign families laughing at the instructor's explanations, and I felt that it would have been even more enjoyable if I could have had translations for them. Nevertheless, I was very satisfied with the interaction with the dolphins.

Afterward, they offered to sell photos and a DVD of me playing with the dolphins, so I think it would be fine even if there were no observers (people taking pictures). However, the price for a single photo was quite high.

日本でもイルカと触れ合えるアクティビティは何回か体験してきましたが、イルカ２頭で足の裏を押してもらってスライドしてもらったのは今回のロイヤル・スイムが初めてでした
。ちゃんと背びれにつかまる事が出来るのか？足裏で押してもらってもすぐに落ちてしまうのではないか？と思いましたがその辺はイルカ達が上手にあわしてくれているんでしょうね･･･大丈夫でした（笑）外国人のファミリー４人と日本人３人のグループでプールに入る前にレクチャー（日本人用ビデオも前もって見ます）をうけましたが英語だったので何を言っているのか自分には分からなかったのですが途中、日本語スタッフの人が来てくれて説明してくれました。プールに入った後もインストラクターの説明や話を聞いて外国人ファミリーが笑っているのを見て一緒に訳してもらえるともっと楽しめたような気がしますがイルカと触れ合えるという点ではとても満足出来ました。その後、イルカと一緒に遊んでいる自分の写真とＤＶＤを販売してくれるので、見学者の方（＝撮影する人）がいない場合でも大丈夫かと思いますが
写真一枚のお値段は高かったです。

Relaxing on the sandy beach is nice, but it's a fun place where you can make a big splash in fresh water. The ultimate water slide, "SHAKA," is thrilling!

However... I wish I had a bit more free time!

海岸の砂浜でのんびりも良いのですが、真水で大騒ぎができるたのしい場所です。
ウォータースライダーの最高峰"SHAKA"はスリル満点！

ですが・・・もっと自由時間が欲しかったかなぁ~！

There are many attractions for two or three people, so I think it would be fun to go with a group or family. Unfortunately, the day we visited, the long slide was closed, which was disappointing. However, there were thrilling tube slides that made the time fly by, and I wanted to play even more.

二人乗りや3人乗りのアトラクションが多いのでグループや家族で行かれると楽しいと思います。
残念ながら私達が参加した日は長い滑り台がやっていなくてがっかりしましたが
それに変わるスリル満天の浮き輪すべりなどありあっという間に時間が過ぎもっと遊びたいくらいでした。

I wish I could have seen a variety of fish. However, the experience of riding in a submarine is rare, so it was great.

もう少し色々な魚が見れれば良かったなぁと思います。けど、潜水艦にのる体験はまれに無いので良かったです。

This time, I was able to enjoy the submarine without getting seasick because I took motion sickness medication. I also got to see sea turtles, which was really great.

今回は酔い止めを飲んでいたため、船酔いせずに潜水艦を楽しめました。海亀もみれてとてもよかったです。

I have been here several times, and the local staff are indeed kind, and the attractions are amazing! Everything is spectacular and quite rare in Japan. Some of the attractions with height restrictions can be enjoyed if you pass a swimming test, so even children who do not meet the height requirement can enjoy more activities if they pass the test! I think that system is also quite rare in Japan. It is a bit pricey, but it is worth it, so I definitely want to participate again!

ここへは何度か行きましたが、
やはり現地スタッフの方々も親切ですし、
アトラクションも最高です！
全てが豪快で日本ではなかなかありえないでしょう。
身長制限のあるアトラクションの中のいくつかは、
スイミングテストを受ければできるものもあるので、
身長が満たない子どももテストに受かれば、
より色々なものが楽しめます！
そのシステムも日本ではなかなか無いと思います。
多少お高めですが、行く価値はあるので
是非また参加させていただきたいと思います！

My wife loved the lei greeting. And the lei's were beautiful. We were greeted as soon as we walked out of the gate. I earned really good brownie points. Thanks again.

lots of fun, lots of fish, just a great time, would do it again

My family & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. My husband is a HUGE history buff, my son - age 15 even enjoyed it, along with my parents (Around 60 yrs. old) and my husband & myself (late 30's) Therefore, you can see that it was interesting for all ages. It was a very spooky feeling standing on the Arizona Memorial, looking down at the sunken ship, seeing the oil still leaking into the water, and reading all of the names of those who perished that awful, fateful day. We also got to meet & take pictures with two of the survivors from that day. They were inside, sitting near the museum signing autographs. One of them was born in Macomb, Illinois, about 50 miles from our hometown of Rockford, so that was very surprising! We had an awesome guided tour aboard the USS Missouri. Took about 90 minutes, we even got to see inside. Saw the bunks where the sailors slept, the control room, radio room, the table where the declaration was signed to end the war, the "mess hall", stood under the g

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I rode a submarine for the first time. I was satisfied since I had always wanted to try it, but all the tropical fish, sharks, and sea turtles were gathered around artificial reefs. There were only a few natural corals. However, I can recommend the 64-passenger submarine for tourists.

ハワイ６度目にして初めて潜水艦に乗りました。一度は乗りたかったので満足はしていますが全て人工の漁礁に集まった熱帯魚、サメそしてウミガメでした。自然なサンゴはごく僅かでした。ただし観光用の６４人乗り潜水艦はお勧めできます。

What a wonderful way to start our Hawaiian trip -- with beautiful lei's placed around our necks at the airport, by a Hawaiian. Thank you so much!!

I had a great time being able to touch dolphins, play with them, and even kiss them. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have to worry about the language and could enjoy myself. The photos they took were so good that I ended up buying them even though I hadn't planned to. However, it was disappointing that, because we were in a Japanese group, we had to walk to the training pool at the back instead of the main pool in the center of the park, and the water there was dirty.

近くでイルカに触れられて一緒に遊べてキスまで出来てとっても楽しかったです。
日本語スタッフがいたので言葉の心配をする事もなく楽しめました。
また、撮って頂いた写真も良く撮れていたので買う気がなかったのに買っちゃいました。
ただ、日本語のグループだったせいかパーク真ん中のプールではなく裏にあるトレーニング用のプールにまで歩かされ水が汚かったのが残念でした。

As the owner of an Ad Agency, I believe in the "experience" of each presentation. This was a great presentation and a wonderful suprise for my guest. I will do this again! Unlike the others, I noted our "greeter" was waiting direcly inside the gate exit.
Very Impresive! Thanks for making it extra special!

I want to comment that the driver, Ben, the guide /bus driver, assigned to our tour was the best. He made our trip enjoyable and informative. Our entire group enjoyed his sense of humor and knowledge of Arizona and Missouri tours. In fact you was our tour guide at the USS Missouri. He knew how to make the maximun use of our time and best place for lunch.

We definitely will come back and will request Ben, if he is still owrking for this company.

Excellent value.

had a great time and it was our first time snorkeling.staff was very helpful and nice. we will go back to capt bob's again.

I enjoyed the activity with two dolphins, and it became a memorable experience. If you love dolphins and haven't tried it yet, I think you can have fun in a group.

二頭のイルカとのアクティビティを堪能し思い出になりました。
イルカが好きで未体験の方はグループで楽しめると思います。

I surprised my wife and kids with the lei greeting. A pretty young lady was right there at the gate as we departed the plane. My kids saw their names first and did a double-take as they were not expecting the greeting. The leis were beautiful and it was a small but important start to our first trip to Hawaii.

This was my first time on a submarine! The underwater world is truly mysterious! There were so many beautiful fish (tropical fish). My wife initially said she was scared of the submarine, but it seems she wasn't scared at all once we got on. I was really excited because I had always wanted to ride a submarine, and it was such a fun experience.

Unfortunately, it seems that on the opposite side of where we were sitting, there was a scene with a sea turtle swimming. That was really disappointing! However, even though we didn't see it swimming, we did get to see a sea turtle, so I guess that's good.

Definitely give it a try; it's interesting!

初！潜水艦搭乗しました。
海の中は本当に神秘的ですね！たくさんの魚（熱帯魚）本当に綺麗でした。
妻は当初、潜水艦は怖いと言っていましたが、乗ってみると全然怖くなかったみたいですし、私は、一度潜水艦に乗って見たかったのでとてもわくわく楽しい思いをさせていただきました。
残念な事は私たちが座った席の反対側ではちょうど海がめの泳いでいたシーン見ることが出来たみたいです。本当に残念でした！しかし泳いでいなかったけど海がめ見れたので良しとしましょう。
是非、体験してみて下さいおもしろいですよ！

What I thought after it was over is that it was my first time riding a submarine. It's not something you can casually hop on, and you get to peek into the underwater world where you can rarely see things like coral and sea turtles. It's a great tour.

終わってから思った事は、潜水艦に乗るのって始めてだったな、ってこと
おいそれと気軽に乗れる物ではない上に、サンゴやウミガメなどめったに
見れない海の世界がのぞけちゃう、いいツアーです。

The purpose of this trip was different, but while browsing the internet, I couldn't help but want to meet dolphins and sea turtles, which made choosing options within my limited time quite difficult.

I had been to Sea Life Park before, and since they offer activities where you can interact and play with dolphins, I thought that might be nice. I also considered scuba diving in the waters of Hawaii since I have diving experience...

I decided on Dolphin & You because, after looking at their website, it seemed like a very eco-friendly tour that was gentle on both people and nature.

It was a great choice!! It felt almost like a waste to go alone. I got to meet dolphins and encountered sea turtles. I didn't realize it at the time, but in the experience DVD I purchased, I discovered a sea turtle snuggling up next to the boat during the final photo session. My camera captured close-ups of the sea turtles and underwater shots of me looking graceful like a mermaid, taken by the accompanying photographer and local boys. I also learned hula while wearing a pareo and enjoyed delicious burgers—everything was perfect.

The most impressive part was the excellent service and thoughtfulness of all the staff. Since it was an early morning trip, we were able to make effective use of our time, and it was a day of complete satisfaction.

Even though the memories of the trip are fading, my passion for dolphins has not cooled down. I absolutely recommend it!

今回の旅の目的は他にあったのですが、ネットを見ているうちに、どうしてもイルカや海亀に会いたくなり、限られた時間でのオプション選びに迷いました。

シーライフパークは前に行ったことがあり、イルカとふれあい、遊べるアクティビティーというのでそれもいいかなとか、ダイビング経験があるので、ハワイの海でのスキューバダイビングにしようかとか・・・

ドルフィン＆ユーに決めたのは、ホームページを見て、とてもエコロジーで人にも自然にも優しいツアーのように思えたからです。

大正解！！
一人参加がもったいないくらい。イルカにも出会えたし、海亀にも遭遇。そのときには気づかなかったけど、購入した体験DVDには最後の記念撮影の船の傍らにしっかり寄り添う海亀ちゃんを発見。持参したカメラには、同行のカメラマンやロコボーイが撮ってくれた、海亀の接写、水中での私の姿が人魚のように華麗に。
パレオをつけてフラも習い、おいしいバーガーもいただき、いうことなし。

一番の感激はスタッフ全員のの対応のよさと、思いやりです。
早朝の便だったので、時間も有効に使え、なにもかも大満足の一日でした。

旅の思いでが薄れるのに、いまだイルカ熱はさめません。絶対おすすめです！

We decided to go to Hawaii as a couple, and the top recommendation in the guidebook was Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. I thought it was just a pool, but it was amazing! The highlight for us was Hurricane Bay. Both adults and kids had a blast. This kind of wave is something you might not experience in Japan.

The park was very clean, and since we opted for an all-you-can-drink plan, we could enjoy ourselves without carrying anything. They also provided transportation to our hotel, which was reassuring for us as first-timers in Hawaii.

夫婦でハワイに行くことになり、ガイドブックのTOPに載っていたのがハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパーク。プール？と思っていったら、すごいのなんのって。一番はまったのは『ハリケーン・ベイ』。大人も子供をおおはしゃぎです。この波は日本では体験できないかも。
パーク内はとてもきれいだし、ドリンクも飲み放題のプランにしたので、手ぶらで遊べました。
宿泊ホテルまで送迎してもらえましたので、ハワイ初心者の私達には安心でした。

I usually travel on a budget and have never participated in a tour, but I joined this one thinking, "Will this become a memorable experience?" The result was extremely satisfying.

First, the view of Hawaii from the boat heading out to the submarine was wonderful. You can see the town of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once, and the blue of the ocean and the sea breeze made me feel, "This is Hawaii!!" It was refreshing.

There are two types of submarines, and I boarded the smaller one. The interior was surprisingly cramped, and we sat facing outward on either side, so we couldn't change seats. This would later make a difference...

Once we submerged, we were able to see many colorful fish around the artificial reefs. The scale was completely different from what you see in an aquarium. We also saw sharks and rays, but the most exciting part was seeing two sea turtles on top of a sunken ship, which was something I had been looking forward to.

The most moving moment was when a third sea turtle swam alongside the submarine right next to us. It seemed that only those of us sitting on the left side could see it, as a mother with children sitting on the opposite side kept saying, "This side is a bust." I wished she wouldn't voice her dissatisfaction in front of her excited kids.

The tour itself was a great experience, visiting two artificial reefs, the wreckage of a plane, and two sunken ships. We finished with a rapid ascent to the surface, which also had a touching moment, keeping us entertained until the very end.

On the way back, while enjoying the dreamlike experience, they offered to sell the commemorative photo taken before boarding for $20, which somewhat dampened the mood and brought me back to reality. I wish they would just offer it as a service since they would presumably discard it if not purchased. (Is that selfish of me?)

As others have mentioned, the submarine is quiet, but the boat heading out to sea rocks quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication to fully enjoy the tour.

いつも貧乏旅行でツアーなど参加したこと無いのですが、「旅の思い出になるかな？」とこのツアーに参加しました。
結果は大満足でした。
まず潜水艦に乗り込む為沖に向かう船上からのハワイの景色がすばらしい。。
ワイキキの町並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを一望でき、海の青さと潮風で「これぞハワイ！！」って感じで爽快でした。
潜水艦は２種類あり小さい方に乗りました。
意外と狭い艦内に左右に外向きで座りますので席替えはできません。
これが後々明暗を分ける事に、、、。
海中に潜ると人口岩礁に様々な色の魚がたくさん見ることが出来ました。
水族館で見るのとはスケールが違います。
他にサメやエイも見れましたが、一番楽しみにしていたウミガメが沈没船の上で２匹も見れて感動しました。
一番の感動は潜水艦の真横に３匹目のウミガメが潜水艦に並んで泳いできた事です。
これはたまたま私達が座った左側だけしか見れなかったみたいで、反対側に座ってた子連れのお母さんがしきりに「こっちはハズレや」って言ってました。
不満に思っても楽しんでいる子供の前では口にして欲しくないなぁと思いました。
ツアー自体は人口岩礁２箇所と飛行機の残骸、難破船２隻を廻り大満喫。
最後に海上に一気に上昇してフィニッシュですがここでも感動場面ありで最後の最後まで楽しませてくれました。
夢の世界を満喫した帰りの船上で乗船前に撮った記念写真を＄20で売り込みされますが、あれで少し興醒めして現実に戻されます。
買わなければ廃棄するはずなんでサービスして欲しいものです。（勝手かなぁ？）
他の方も書かれていますが潜水艦は静かですが沖に向かう船がかなり揺れるので、ツアーを楽しむには必ず酔い止めを飲んでおく事をオススメします。

We had a wonderful vacation and will surely visit Hawaii next year.

That was great time for my family.
And the driver(guide) was very kind.

Thank you.

It was a lot of fun! Our group had a few troubles, though. On the day of our reservation, just when we were about to board the submarine, a problem occurred! It got canceled. But we were able to reschedule for the next day, so that was okay. Plus, on the boat heading out to where the submarine was, I got to take pictures with a wonderful crew member (I later heard from a friend that we were attracting attention from other guests). By the way, on the day we rescheduled, I also took a picture with the captain of that boat. Haha. The submarine trip was, of course, amazing, just like everyone else has commented! Oh, and one thing to note, which might have been mentioned somewhere, is that it's better not to wear a mini skirt. Well, even a little trouble can turn into a fun memory!

楽しかったですよ~！私たちグループは多少トラブルがありましたが。
予約当日にあと少しで潜水艦に乗り込むって時に、トラブル発生！キャンセルになりました。でも翌日に予約を取り直せたのでＯＫとしました。それに、潜水艦のある沖に向かう船で、素敵なクルーの子と写真も撮れたし（←後で友達に聞いたら、他のお客さんの注目を浴びていたらしが）。ちなみに、予約を取り直した日も、その船のキャプテンとも写真撮りました。笑。潜水艦の旅は、もちろん他の皆さんのコメントの通り素晴らしかったです！そうそう、一つ注意することは、どこかに書いてあったかも知れませんが、ミニスカートでは行かないほうが良いですね。まぁ、ちょっとしたトラブルなら楽しい思い出になりますね。

This experience for the price was amazing.
It was a submarine tour at 3 PM.
The visibility was quite clear, and I could see well.
There were also two turtles, and I was able to see many rare fish.
One issue was that the explanations were all in English, and even though there were Japanese headphones, they didn't work at all.
However, I enjoyed the scenery, so that was good!
I felt a bit seasick...
But it was really fun!!!!

この値段でこの体験は、最高だった。
夕方3時の潜水艦だった。
結構、クリアで、よく視界がみえた。
亀も2匹いたし、珍しい魚たちが、たくさん見ることができた。
一つ問題があったのは、説明が、全部英語で日本語のヘッドホンがあるにもかからわず全く流れなかった。
しかし風景をみて楽しかったから良かったかなー！！
少し船酔いがあった・・・・
しかし、とても楽しかった！！！！！

I was able to see the deep blue sea, colorful fish, and sea turtles, as well as many fish that I had never seen in Japan. Oh, and I also got to see divers (^^;) I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming. It was something I had always wanted to see, so I was truly moved.

I'm really glad I participated in the submarine tour.

For participation, I recommend the Japanese tour starting at 10 AM. The explanations are provided in real-time, and there are many Japanese participants.

真っ青な海、カラフルな魚たち、そして海がめ、日本では見たこともない魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました。あ、あとダイバーも見ることが出来ました(^^;)
海がめは運良く、泳いでいるところを見ることが出来ました。念願だったので、本当に感動しました。
潜水艦ツアー、本当に参加して良かったです。

参加ですが、10時からの日本語のツアーをお勧めします。リアルタイムで説明していただけますし、参加者も日本人が多いですし。
