All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. I was hoping to see various fish and, if lucky, a sea turtle. On the day of the event, while on the boat heading to Atlantis, we were able to see wild dolphins on the way there and a whale on the way back (the whale was quite far away, but the dolphins were very close).

There was an explanation in Japanese, and we were not too far from Waikiki Beach, where we saw many fish and, finally, the sea turtle. We even spotted a small shark, which made the kids enjoy the experience throughout. The boat was comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit chilly, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.

4歳、6歳の子供達と参加しました。色々なお魚や運良くウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなぁと思っていましたが、いざ当日参加したらアトランティスに向かう迄の船内で行きに野生のイルカと帰りに鯨を見る事が出来ました。(鯨はだいぶ離れた距離.イルカはかなり至近距離でした)

日本語での説明もありワイキキビーチからそんなに離れていない海底で沢山の魚そして念願のウミガメ、小さいサイズでしたがサメも見る事が出来子供達は終始楽しんでいました。
船内も快適でしたが、やはり海外エアコン？空調？が少し肌寒かったので羽織りがあると良いかもです。

When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.

申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で　不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。

Since I went to Hawaii in February, I decided to go whale watching, which is something you can only do during this time of year.

I read many reviews saying that people didn't see any whales, so I boarded the boat with a mindset of "Well, it would be nice to see a whale if we do." However, my skeptical expectations were wonderfully betrayed, and I was able to encounter a mother and calf whale multiple times!! Their synchronized swimming was truly moving, and I absolutely recommend it! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!

It was a valuable tour. Thank you!

ちょうど2月にハワイに行ったので、この時期しか見ることの出来ないホエールウォッチングに行く事にしました。

クジラに会えなかったという口コミもたくさん読みましたので、「まぁクジラが見れたらいいか」みたいな気持ちで船に乗り込みましたが…。
私の半信半疑の期待は見事に裏切られ、何度もクジラの親子に遭遇する事ができました！！
並んで泳ぐ姿は心から感動しましたし、絶対オススメします！
本当に素晴らしい経験をありがとうございました！

価値のあったツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to see it until halfway through, but I was able to watch it towards the end. I'm glad I could see it because they searched for it until the very last minute. I can hardly speak any English, but the staff were kind, and I had a great time.

途中まで見れないかな？と思ったのですが、最後の方に見ることができました。時間ギリギリまで、探してくれたため、見ることができてよかったです。英語がほとんど話せないのですが、スタッフは優しく、楽しめました。

At first, I was nervous and scared, but it wasn't frightening at all, and it felt great. I definitely want others to experience it. I would like to do it again.

最初は緊張してびびってましたが、怖くもなく、気持ちよかったです。是非体験して欲しいです。またやりたいと思います。

We participated as a family. It was our first day at Waikiki Beach, and we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean with the kids. On top of that, we were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming right nearby.

There was an option to take a photo with Diamond Head in the background, which I thought would make a great memory, so I decided to purchase it.

We traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get to the submarine, and during that time, we were able to see a whale in the distance. The guide spoke in Japanese and entertained us with jokes. Inside the submarine, we were satisfied with the experience as we could see corals, fish, and sea turtles up close.

However, I experienced more motion sickness than I expected. They provide etiquette bags, but I recommend that those who are sensitive take medication beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
ワイキキビーチに初めて行った日だったので、海のキレイさに子どもたちと感動しました。その上、海辺ではウミガメがすぐそこを泳いでいて大興奮でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るという観光地特有のオプションがついていましたが、思い出になると思い購入しました。

潜水艦に乗るまで10分ほど船で移動するのですが、その際にクジラの姿も遠くに見ることができました。
ガイドは日本語で、時にジョークもあり楽しませてくれます。潜水艦では、サンゴや魚、ウミガメも間近に見ることができ満足な体験でした。

ただ、思った以上に乗り物酔いします。エチケット袋は用意されていますが、弱い人はお薬を飲んで行くことをおすすめします。

I signed up for my two sons who love sea creatures! We were able to see a whale right after we set off. I think we were very lucky to see it as a family. The kids were also thrilled, so I'm glad we participated!

海の生き物が大好きな息子二人のために申込みました！出発後すぐにくじらに会えました。
親子で見れたので、とてもラッキーだったと思います。子供たちも大喜びだったので参加してよかったです！

I was able to see a mother and baby whale together, with continuous spouting and jumping! The boat was also large, so it was comfortable to spend time on!

クジラが親子でいたのか、連続して潮吹きとジャンプが見れました！船も大きい為快適に過ごせよかったでふ！

The day I participated, the water was murky and hard to see.
It's different from the scenery you can see while diving.
I think it would be appreciated by older people who want to see the sunken battleships and fighter planes.

The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was fantastic!

僕が参加した日は水が濁ってて見にくかったです。
ダイビングで見れる景色とは違います。
沈没した戦艦や戦闘機を見たいお年寄りの人には喜ばれると思います。

潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が最高でした♪

The scenery is beautiful, and the staff really gets everyone excited to have fun. I think the view after flying in the sky allows you to experience the beautiful ocean and the wonders of Hawaii.

I suffer from severe motion sickness, so I was feeling dizzy and nauseous the whole time, but next time I want to participate after taking motion sickness medication. The driver for the pickup was also a very fun person, and I enjoyed the time spent during the transfer. Thank you very much.

景色も美しく、スタッフの方もすごく楽しめるように盛り上がってくださいます。
空に飛んでからの景色はキレイな海やハワイの素晴らしさを体感することができると思います。

船酔いが酷い私はずっと吐き気でフラフラしてましたが、次回は酔い止めを飲んで参加したいと思います。
また送迎のドライバーさんもとても楽しい方で送迎時間を楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

I couldn't relax because I was constantly going in and out of the sea. I was hoping to go snorkeling in the shallow waters, but it was a wrong choice. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice.

海に入ったり、出たりが激しく、ゆっくり出来なかった。浅瀬でシュノーケリングを期待していた。セレクト間違いだった。
船での雰囲気は大変良かった。

I waited for the bus on the first day, but I was left behind. I left a voicemail, but I didn't get a response... I'm glad I was able to participate the next day, but I couldn't see the whales as well as I wanted from the photos. However, I felt good about the cruise! I thought it might be better if the duration was a little shorter.

バスに1日目待ってたのに、おいてかれてしまいました。
留守電いれたけど、連絡なく。。
翌日参加できたから良かったけど、、
クジラは写真見たいにはみれません。
クルーズするのは気分が良かったです！
時間もう少し短くても良いかなと思いました。

I participated with my mother in her 50s. A few days ago, my sister and her husband who went parasailing warned us, "Be careful, you might get really seasick!" However, our boat ride was relatively smooth, so we didn't have to worry about seasickness. There was some slight turbulence in the air, but it was not scary at all; it felt like we were flying. I held a waterproof instant camera while flying, and it didn't interfere with taking pictures at all.

50代の母親と参加しました。数日前にパラセイリングをした妹夫婦からは、「すごく船酔いするから気をつけて！」と言われていたのですが、私たちの船は比較的穏やかな運転だったのか、船酔いの心配はありませんでした。空中では多少揺れましたが、怖さは全くなく、空を飛んでいるようでした。手に防水インスタントカメラを持って空を飛びましたが、撮影には何の支障もありませんでした。

We participated as a family!
It was everyone's first time whale watching, and we had a wonderful experience encountering humpback whales jumping up close!
Thank you very much! ^_^

家族で参加しました！
みんな初めてのホエールウォッチングでしたが、間近でジャンプするザトウ鯨に出会う事ができ、素敵な経験になりました！
ありがとうございました^_^

This was my second time snorkeling, and I participated in the tour feeling anxious about the deep water, as I could only do the crawl by myself. I decided to join after seeing everyone having fun in the reviews. I dislike cold water and am not a strong swimmer, so I was filled with the desire to back out until the last minute. However, the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us how to breathe, and with the rental of the bodysuit, I was able to swim happily!

Once I got used to it, we went out to look for turtles, and by then, I was able to swim smoothly! Hanauma Bay is the best place; both snorkeling and the beach are amazing, and the guide is fantastic too! I highly recommend it! I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!

シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました！
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました！
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です！おすすめです！
またハワイ行ったときは参加します！

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.

I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.

In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。

前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。

クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。

The crew couldn’t have been more accommodating and fun! Lunch was delicious. Turtle spotting was fabulous. And the reef snorkel was an adventure to be remembered. Thanks for the memories!

I learned about the history of Hawaii, and the plants were explained in detail. In the long-awaited hula lesson, I was taught by the kumu hula, Brad Cooper, and it felt like a dream. I was also very satisfied with the beautiful lei making.

ハワイの歴史が学べ、植物も丁寧に説明していただきました。
念願のフラレッスンではクムフラのブラッド　クーパー先生に教えていただき夢のようでした。
レイメイクも素敵にできて大満足です。

This was just such a great experience. We got incredibly lucky with active whales during our trip. We saw two set of mothers with their calves. The calves breached multiple times and we even got to see one of the mothers breach! Even just the scenery during the sail up the coast was amazing. The crew was incredibly fun and nice, everyone was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend using this company for your whale tour.

Meeting a large mother and baby whale was truly moving. At the same time, I thought about how the approaching boats must be a nuisance for the mother whale caring for her newborn, which left me with somewhat mixed feelings. What is the ideal way for modern humans to connect with the natural world? While we understand this in our daily lives, we often don’t think deeply about it. I realized that we need to reconsider the power of humans and civilization that has even pushed the largest mammals in Earth's history, the whales, to the brink of extinction.

A beautiful world should remain beautiful.
A wonderful nature should remain as it is.
This tour taught me the preciousness of simply connecting lives.

大きなクジラの親子に会えたのはやはり感動がありました
と同時に生まれたばかりの子供の世話をしているお母さんクジラにとってはボートで近づいてくる人間は迷惑なんだろうなと思い、少々複雑な感情にもなりました。
自然界と現代人の繋がりかたの理想とはどんなものなのか。普段の生活では理解していても深くは考えないものですが、地球史上最大の哺乳類と言われるクジラさえも絶滅の危機に追いやってしまった人間の力、文明の威力を改めて考える必要があると実感しました。
綺麗な世界が綺麗なままで。
素晴らしい自然がありのままで。
命をただ繋ぐ尊さを教えてもらったツアーでした。

The diamond seat was very good! We were prioritized for the lei, photos, and buffet, being the first in line! The stage was fun and really lively, and it was a wonderful luau show! The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The alcoholic version was quite strong. Even though it was cold, there were no warm drinks available, so I thought having a jacket would be a good idea.

Also, I had to wait about 20 minutes to exchange the voucher for tickets. After that, I lined up for photos, so for those in general seating, it took about 40 minutes in total. The photos were $50 in cash.

That day was a Sunday, and the fireworks for the Hilton's full occupancy were launched around 8:30 PM! It's such a wonderful environment to be able to see such a fantastic show within the village.

ダイヤモンドシートとても良かったです✨
優先的にレイや写真、バイキングも一番最初でした！ステージも楽しく盛り上げてくれますし、素敵なルアウショーでした！ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールかノンアルコールかどちらか選べました。アルコールの方はしっかり入っててキツめです。寒くても暖かい飲み物はないので、上着はあればいいかなと思いました。
あと、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのに、20分くらい並びました。その後に、写真の列に並ぶので一般席の方は合計40分くらいかかっていました。
写真は50ドル現金でした。
その日は日曜日でヒルトン満室御礼の花火も8時半頃打ち上げられました！ヴィレッジ内で、こんな素敵なショーが観れるなんて、とても素晴らしい環境です

In late February, my husband and I visited Hawaii and wanted to do something Hawaiian, so we participated in this activity!

Most of the participants were Japanese, with a few foreigners mixed in. The boats going to the sandbar were separated into one for Japanese people only and another that included foreigners. Both boats had Japanese guides who were very good at speaking, and the locals were cheerful, making the experience enjoyable from the boat!

When I asked the guide to take photos at the sandbar, they even directed us on how to pose, capturing many wonderful pictures from various angles♡

The guide also helped us look for sea turtles, and we were able to see a lot of them!

During snorkeling, we could see the sea turtles up close! The weather was great, but the water was very cold once we got in.

When we returned to the boat, they had warm drinks prepared, so we could relax and enjoy sunbathing on board!

The hamburgers for lunch were huge, and since we could add our own toppings, it was amazing to customize them to our liking! I'm so glad we could do something truly Hawaiian♪♪

2月下旬に夫婦でハワイ旅行に訪れて
ハワイっぽいことをしたくて参加しました！

参加者は日本人の方が多く、その他の外国の方も

自分の好きなアレンジで食べる事ができて
最高でしたっっ！！
ハワイらしいことができてよかったです♪♪

I had very little experience with boarding a ship, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the other staff were also kind, which made me feel very at ease. There was a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which was enjoyable. Although the chances of seeing a whale were low, they searched diligently, and I was able to see its tail. I also got to see dolphins up close for a long time, which I didn't think would be possible. It was a very enjoyable plan.

船に乗る経験もほとんどありませんでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいたり、他のスタッフも親切でとても安心して過ごせました。
アルコール類やソフトドリンクも豊富で楽しかったです。
鯨も確率は低いそうですか、熱心に探してくれ、尻尾を見ることができました。また、見れないと思っていたイルカを近くで長時間見れました。
とても楽しいプランでした。

I participated with my 3-year-old child. The dolphins' eyes were adorable, and it was my first time touching them, which felt quite strange. They let us hear their sounds and splashed us with their fins, which was fun. It was my child's first time in a big pool, and it turned out to be a great experience. Wearing life jackets made us feel safe.

There were many foreign guests, so it felt like we were abroad. The staff only spoke English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was fine! There was also a dolphin show, areas where we could touch starfish, and a play area for kids, making it a fun place to visit!

3歳の子連れで参加しました。
イルカの目が可愛らしく、触るのは初めてでしたが不思議な感触でした。鳴き声を聞かせてくれたりヒレで水をかけてくれたり楽しかったです
子供は大きなプールに入るのは初めてでしたが良い経験になりました。ライフジャケット着用で安心です。
外国のお客さんが多いので外国に来た気分を楽しめますスタッフは英語のみですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれるので大丈夫です！
イルカショータイムもあったり手でヒトデなどに触れるエリアや子供用プレイエリアもあり、楽しめる場所です！！

I was satisfied to see them jumping and swimming with their families up close! It would be nice if we could choose items like a ballpoint pen or a T-shirt instead of a revenge ticket. The revenge is quite difficult.

かなり近くでジャンプや親子連れで泳ぐ姿も見れて満足！リベンジ券ではなく、ボールペンやTシャツかを選べると良い。リベンジはかなり難しい。

They provided support in Japanese.
They took over 90 photos for $30, and I was very satisfied!
For those who are prone to seasickness, especially Japanese people, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating, as there are many groups and you'll spend a lot of time on the boat.

日本語で対応してくださいました。
写真も$30で90枚以上撮影してくださり、とっても大満足！
参加する組が多いと、船に乗ってる時間が多いので船に酔いやすい日本人は、酔い止めを飲んでから参加することをお勧めします。

What an experience! This tour is definitely worth it. The boat only takes out a max of 6 people which allows for more cage time and less crowds. The cage was plenty big for everyone to see and not feel cramped. We had sharks around us the entire time we were in the water and the water was so clear it was quite the experience. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable about not only sharks but whales as well. We were able to stop on our way back into harbor and watch the whales for a little bit. Overall such a great experience, highly recommend!

Uncle Kevin was truely an amazing bus driver/tour guide! Made the day feel as though you were a local :). Amazing commentary and local facts. A whole range of activities to choose from and by far was the best taking a surf lesson on the north shore!

Couldn’t have asked for a better crew! Whole experience was outstanding from start to end!

Great time would do it again. The only thing I would change is some of the items on the menu.
