All Reviews for For 4 Year Olds

We had a wonderful time on our whale watching excursion! We were picked up by the bus - it was early/on-time. We made it to the dock, got our picture taken (didn't buy it, it was too pricey!), then on to the boat. The boat was huge and there was plenty of seating inside and on the top deck. We opted out of lunch, which I think was for the best since me and my husband didn't feel that great on the ride out in the open water. But it did look nice and drinks were available for purchase. Once we got out on the water, we started seeing some whale blows and headed more in that direction. We then saw dolphins swimming next to our boat which was just as exciting as seeing the whale! But what was even cooler was once we got closer to the whale, marine biologist said that what we were seeing was the dolphins were playing with the whale, which he hadn't seen in 4 years! He was very informative. We also enjoyed some live music which seemed the bring the whales and dolphins around more! We probably saw about eight whales in all, ten dolphins and one sea turtle. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, aside from feeling a little seasick.

On January 30th, I had high hopes for the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. I didn't even see any dolphins. The weather was nice, and the cruise itself was good. If you don't see anything, it would be nice to have an option for the next ticket, as some people can go and some cannot, such as offering a "compensation gift."

1/30、時期的にも期待していたが、クジラは残念ながら見られなかった。イルカすら見られなかった。
天気がよく、クルーズ自体は良かった。
見られなかった場合の次の乗船券は行ける人と行けない人がいるので、選択制で「お詫びの品をあげる」等あると良いと思う。

I was able to see whales from quite a distance. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean was also great, and you can enjoy it even alone. The food was a bit disappointing, so it might be better to eat at the hotel.

かなり遠くですが、クジラ見れました。海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったし、一人でも楽しめます。
食事はちょっといまいちなので、ホテルで済ませた方がいいかも。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales, but I was able to enjoy the view of Diamond Head from the sea and the streets of Waikiki, making for a delightful cruising experience.

I also received a free ticket for the next time, so if I have the time, I will try again. By the way, I was able to see dolphins.

残念ながらクジラは見れなかったのですが
海からのダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキの街並み
を見る事ができ、クルージングの楽しみが味わえる内容です。

次回無料のチケットもいただけ、時間があれば次回チャレンジしてみます。
ちなみにイルカは見る事ができました。

This time, we participated as three families, and everyone from the children to the elderly had a great time, so I'm really glad we went. It was the best day ever! 😊

今回は家族三世帯で参加させてもらったが、子供から年配まで楽しんで貰えたので行って本当に良かった。最高の1日を送れた(^^)

Before departing from Japan, the weather forecast predicted cloudy rain, but it turned out to be sunny, as we say in Japan. The pick-up was smooth, and after boarding, we had a light snack while the captain gave an explanation. Then we had free time and went to the upper deck. After about 20 minutes, the captain announced that we were heading towards 1 o'clock, and we could see the spouting. After that, every 20 minutes or so, we were able to see the spouting and tails, and I was able to take photos with a telephoto lens. On the way back, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins. The boat accommodated 1,500 people, and I didn't feel much rocking, so it was comfortable. The upper deck can be quite windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker would be a good idea.

日本出発前は、曇り雨予報でしたが、結局は、日本でいう晴れでした。送迎もスムーズで、乗船後、軽食を採りながら船長の説明があった後、フリーとなり、屋上デッキへ。20分くらいして船長から1時の方向とアナウンスがあり、潮吹きが見えました。その後も20分くらい置きに、潮吹き、尻尾を見ることができ、望遠レンズで写真も撮れました。帰りには、イルカも見ることが出来、ラッキーでした。船も1500人乗りで、揺れもそんなに感じること無く快適でした。屋上は、風が強く肌寒いので、ウインドブレーカーがあるといいです。

Dinner great waitress very overwhelmed. Service so so. Entertainment great as well

Our guide Lani was very fun and knowledgeable. She has worked there food 28yrs. We were able to see a lot of areas where films as TV shows were shot. We highly recommend it.

My husband and I really enjoyed our trip. we were able to move around at our leisure and spend and much or as little time on each exhibit. Everyone in your family should experience Pearl Harbor. it truly does give you a new perspective and appreciation for those that serve our country protecting us!!

This has been on my bucket list for quite some time and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The crew is so nice and made everyone feel so comfortable and were very knowledgeable. They only take up to 6 people so you never even have to get out of the cage until the tour is over if you don't want to! We were in there for about 45 minutes getting to see several sharks and it turned out to be a really calming, cool experience. I would definitely recommend these guys, I was sold when I found out that it was a small group and that we would have a lot more time in the cage.

On the day of the event, it had just stopped raining, and we were able to see a beautiful rainbow from the boat for a long time. The appearance of the whales was a bit modest, but it turned out to be a fun cruising experience!

参加当日は雨上がりで、綺麗な虹を長時間船上から見ることが出来ました。
クジラの登場は2度と少し控えめでしたが、楽しいクルージングになりました!

I couldn't see any whales, and we were clearly heading in the opposite direction from where the whales were supposed to be. We just took a boat ride around the waters of Waikiki. I wondered if a different tour would have been better. I don't really recommend this one!

クジラは見えないし、あきらかにクジラがいる方向とは別方向に進んでいた。
ただ、ワイキキの海を船で遊覧しただけでした。違うツアーのがよかったのかな。と思ったぐらいです。あまりおすすめしません！

We participated as a family of three: my husband, our 5-year-old son, and I.
[Review]
It was really fun, but please keep in mind that the location is in Hawaii, and it's best to assume sunny weather. There may be limited shade, but it's possible to rent a paid space.
[Advice before using]
★ There is no guidance for the morning pickup bus. Make sure to wait on the roadside at least five minutes before the scheduled pickup time and actively inform the driver by saying "wet & wild"! Sometimes, there are various pickup buses, and if you don't speak up, you might be overlooked and miss the bus.
★ The water slides here far exceed those at Toshimaen!
★ If you are over 130 cm tall, you can enjoy the thrill rides ← There is quite a difference between the height listed on the homepage and the actual height panel.
★ There are also thrilling rides available for those around 120 cm tall.
★ If you visit during the rainy season in January, bring long sleeves, long pants, and warm drinks ← only cold carbonated drinks are available.
★ The wristband you wear for access varies ← Lunch options like hamburgers are treated the same as the basic wristband, but lunch tickets can be obtained at the ticket booth. The driver may not know this; when I asked, he said he didn't know. By the way, he doesn't speak Japanese.
★ Arrival is between 10:00 and 10:30, and departure is at 15:15 ← Make sure to change and be at the bus stop by 15:00, or you might miss the bus.
★ Lockers are operated via a touch panel, and you can select Japanese for the language. Payment can be made by card. The space for your belongings is small, so pack lightly! It costs $10 for a small locker or $18 for a large one, and the money is non-refundable. Since the shuttle and lunch are included, keep valuables to a minimum and manage with a waterproof pouch for your card and about $50-100, along with a waterproof camera or smartphone.
★ Overall, the rainy season is cold, and once you get out of the pool, you can't warm up, which can lead to getting chilled. I fell and scraped my skin, resulting in bleeding, and I received treatment in the first aid room. The floor is slippery, so please be especially careful during the rainy season. Also, please avoid touching the snails.

息子5歳児と主人と私3人で参加しました。
［感想］
すごく楽しいですがまずハワイという立地で晴れた日を想定した場所ということだけ認識してください。
日陰はおそらく少なく感じますが、有料のレンタルスペースを借りる事も可能です。
［利用する前のアドバイスです］
★朝の迎えバスの案内は皆無です。ホテルのピックアップは集合時間の5分以上前に道路側で待ち、必ず「wet & wild」と運転手さんに積極的声がけをオススメします！
いろいろピックアップのバスに乗ってますが声がけがない時もありスルーされ乗れないことがあります
★としまえんのプールを遥かに超えるウォーター
スライダーの宝庫です！
★身長が130cm以上なら絶叫系が楽しめる←ホーム
ページの身長とokの身長パネルは結構差異があります。
★身長120cmくらいでも楽しめる絶叫系もあります。
★1月の雨季に行く時は長袖長ズボンや
温かい飲み物を持参すること←飲み物は冷たい
炭酸系ドリンクしかありません(^^;;
★腕に巻くバンドで利用できるものが異なります←ハンバーガーなどのランチ付きはバンドがベーシックのものと同じ扱いですがランチチケットはチケット売り場でもらえます。そのこと運転手さんは知らないです。実際聞いたら知らないと言われてました。ちなみに日本語はできないです。
★到着10:00ー10:30、出発時間15:15←15:00までにバス乗り場にいられる様着替えなども済ませておかないと乗り遅れてしまいます。
★ロッカーはタッチパネル式で操作も日本語が選べてカード払いができます。物を入れるスペースは狭いので
少なめに！1箇所小10ドルか大18ドルかかりお金は戻ってきません。
送迎とランチ付きなので貴重品は最低限にし防水ポーチにカードと50ー100ドルくらい防水カメラ防水スマホでのりきれました。
★とにかく雨季は寒くプールから出ても暖は取れず寒いままで体が冷え切ってしまい私は転倒し擦り傷で出血。救護室で手当てしてもらいました。床も滑りやすいので雨季は特にお気をつけてください。
あとスネールは触らない様にしてください。

I participated in January! The staff on the boat were really great! However, it was too cold due to the season. It took a lot of determination to get into the sea. We saw a lot of turtles, and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I think we could have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been better!

1月に参加しました！船に乗ってたスタッフさん方はすごいよかった！ただ季節もあって寒すぎました。海に入るのは気合いがいりました。
亀はほんとにたくさん見えて子どもは楽しそうにしてました。季節がよければもっと楽しめたなと思いました！

We rented a cabana, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves! The occupancy rate was lower than before, but I think that's to be expected in winter. However, it was great that our family of four could have fun together.

カバナを借りたのでゆっくり楽しめました！！
以前より稼動率がわるかったけど、
冬だから仕方ないと思います。
でも家族４人で楽しめたので良かったです。

I was prepared for the possibility that I might not see it, but...

Unfortunately, I ended up on a disappointing day.

Maybe it's just right to think of it as lucky if I do get to see it!?

必ず見られるとは限らないとは覚悟してたけど・・・

そんな残念な日に当たってしまった。

見れたラッキーぐらいがちょうど良いかも！？

The crew was amazing. The drink service was good, and although it was difficult to find whales, they worked hard and never gave up, and we finally got to see them. I will invite my friends to join me for the next show, as I will be going to Hawaii again soon.

乗組員が最高だった。
飲み物のサービス、なかなかクジラが見つからなかったが諦めず一生懸命探してくれて、ついに見ることができた。観劇、また、近々ハワイに行くので友達を誘って参加します。

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.

For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).

I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.

The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!

港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした（酔い止め薬は必須かと思います）
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見！30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです！

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.

VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

It was great. Saw lots of whales and got lots of pictures. Awesome ship as well.

It was great. Very informative and professional tour guide. They were filming the movie Jumanji while we were at the falls.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.

We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.

If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.

One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

ピックアップ場所で受付後 本日のアクティビティの時間と順番を記入された紙と手首に 色の着いたテープ巻かれバスで移動 当日は参加者多かったのか バス2台でした。海岸沿いに走りながらノースショア方向へ 約70分 牧草地帯が 左に見えてきたら クアロアランチの看板が 牧草には 牛 牛 牛そして 馬に乗ったカーボーイが 期待一気に高まります。ゲストセンターの前でウクレレ演奏するスタッフに迎えられ 各アクティビティの集合場所の説明受ける。あとは各個人が 選んだコース参加します。食事は簡単なバイキング
鶏肉と豚肉は 牧場で育てたものだと 後で スタッフが教えてくれまた。人気のコースは(乗馬やバギー)予約早めに しないと直ぐ 一杯になるらしい。天気が良くないと(もし雨なら着替え必要です)価値少し落ちます。映画の撮影場所に 行きたいのなら 映画撮影地ツアーに 参加しないと全部見られません。クチコミサイトでバギーからでも見える。乗馬からでも大丈夫とありましたが一部だけ 見えましたが 正解 撮影地ツアーは 説明もしっかりして 日本語ツアーもある。ジュラシックパークのロケ地では バスを降りて 写真撮影でき スタッフの方が 各自のスマホで撮影してくれた。難を言えばトイレは大きいのですが ２ヶ所しかないため 参加するツアーの空き時間(15分空いて組まれいます。)済ませないと 大変なことになります。要注意

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!

There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました！！ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです！！
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.

From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。１度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で １００ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。２回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。

This was my first visit.
This trip included four adults and three children from my family, including my youngest who is only three years old, so we participated in the Dolphin Encounter that everyone could enjoy.
The weather was great, making it perfect for the tour.
The cheerful dolphin trainer and the very gentle and charming dolphins made the kids extremely happy!
They take photos of you kissing the dolphins.
However, those photos are quite expensive!
It's $75 for two photos of you kissing the dolphin on the cheek and on the mouth per person.
There was no way we could buy one for everyone, so I only got one for my parents as a keepsake.
Also, you can't get the family photo data unless you purchase the photos.
I would appreciate it if they could reconsider the pricing a bit.
The park isn't very large, so even the kids could walk around easily.
They were delighted to see sea turtles and baby sharks up close.
There are also play equipment in the park, which was great for the kids who were getting bored!
It's a facility that a three-year-old can enjoy, so it's probably more suitable for younger children.

初めて訪れました。
今回の旅は両親と私たち家族の大人4名子供3名。
まだ一番下の子が3歳なので、みんなで体験出来るドルフィンエンカウンターに参加。
お天気もよく、ツアー参加には申し分ない気候でした。
陽気なイルカの調教師さんと、とても優しくチャーミングなイルカを触れて子供達も大喜び！
イルカとキスしてる写真を撮ってくれます。
ただ、その写真がとっても高額！
1人につきイルカとほっぺにキスと口づけ写真2枚で75ドル。
とてもじゃないけど、全員分なんて買えなかったので、両親の記念にと両親の分だけ。
また家族写真は写真を購入しないとデータがもらえません。
もう少し金額を見直して頂けると嬉しいです。
Parkはそんなに広くなく、子供の足でも全然歩けます。
ウミガメやサメの子供など間近で観られるので喜んでいました。
園内には遊具もあり、暇を持て余す子供達に良かったです！
3歳の子供が十分楽しめるくらいの施設なので、小さなお子様向けかな。

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!

I want to see it again!

船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎

もう一回見たいですね〜
