All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

The driver of the shuttle is very helpful and funny. The design of the activity is very family friendly. Kids won't feel too tired or bored.

There are many similar tours, and I was a bit confused during the pickup. Since there are few staff members who can speak Japanese, it might be tough if you can't speak at all.

The show itself was enjoyable, but there were some experiences that were not available on the day.

似たようなツアーが多く、ピックアップ時に少し迷った。
日本語を対応できるスタッフが少ない、もしくはいないため多少なりと喋れないと辛いかもしれない。

ショー自体は楽しかったが、体験できるものが当日ないものもあった。

I had heard that the chances of encountering whales in December are low, so I didn't have high expectations and planned for a relaxing cruise instead. However, I was lucky enough to encounter a mother and calf whale. I'm glad I participated in the tour.

12月は、遭遇出来ない確率が多いと聞いていたのでクルージングのつもりであまり期待していませんでした。
しかし、ラッキーにも親子のくじらに遭遇出来ました。
ツアーに参加してよかったです。

First time riding in a helicopter, the ride was awesome. I did get to see a lot aerial coverage, especially recent destruction that occurred. Checking out the other destinations were ok, but the park was the real treat. True interaction with steam vents. Feeling the heat come from it is insanely hot; even walking a distance away from it and the wind picking up for a bit, my sunglasses fogged up.
This is an experience only you can take for yourself. The helicopter ride made the volcano national park that more interesting. I would do it again just for the helicopter ride.

The beautiful sea was amazing to see from above! As soon as you arrive, you board the boat to start, so I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take motion sickness medication in advance.

綺麗な海が上空から見渡せて最高でした！到着してすぐに船に乗ってスタートとなるので、船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。

It was authentic Italian cuisine and very delicious. The pasta, of course, as well as the appetizers, meat, and desserts were all excellent. It's not a particularly formal restaurant, but both the taste and portion sizes are very refined. There is none of the typical American oversized portions. I definitely want to go back. However, since it's a popular place, reservations are a must. I could only make a reservation for a rather late time, but it was still worth having dinner at this restaurant.

本格的イタリアンで、とても美味しかったです。パスタはもちろん、前菜からお肉、スイーツまで最高でした。さほどかしこまったお店ではないですが、味もボリュームもとても上品です。アメリカ特有の大味大量感はありません。また行きたいお店です。ただし、人気店なので予約必須です。自分もかなり遅い時間の予約しかできませんでしたが、それでもこのお店でディナーする価値はあります。

This was my second time participating. I had made a reservation for Christmas, which thankfully was still being held, but it was canceled due to bad weather. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to another day and participate.

The boat had changed since my last visit, and it had been upgraded in various ways! Unlike Mikurajima, it was disappointing that diving was prohibited where the dolphins were, so we could only watch from above, but I was glad to see them multiple times.

Since it was a busy season, there were many participants, and I noticed several people getting bruised from bumping into each other while swimming. There were also quite a few people feeling seasick. Taking precautions is important.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling this time, but the crew was great at keeping the energy up, and the hula was wonderful, so it was definitely worth participating!

2回目の参加でした。
クリスマスもありがたいことに催行されていたので予約していたのですが悪天候のためキャンセルになりました。運良く別の日に調整できて参加できました。

前回から船も変わっていて、色々とパワーアップしていました！
御蔵島と違い、イルカがいるところでは潜るのが禁止だったので上から見るだけなのが残念でしたが、何度も見られたので良かったです。
繁忙期なので参加者が多く、一緒に泳ぐのでぶつかってあざになっている方が多く見られました。あと船酔いしてる方も多々見られました。対策は重要です。

今回はシュノーケリングで亀が見られなかったのが残念でしたが、クルーのかたが盛り上げ上手で、フラも素敵でしたし、参加した甲斐ありました！

It was hard to get up in the morning while traveling, but thanks to that, I was able to spend a fulfilling morning.

The scenery was amazing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, two adorable dolphins swam alongside our boat for a while, which was very soothing.

Important note!! Many people suffered from seasickness. It's essential to take motion sickness medication from places like ABC Mart beforehand.

We also took the motion sickness medication we got from ABC Mart as soon as we woke up, and we had no problems at all. Oh, I felt a little nauseous on the way back, though.

The staff were incredibly cute and enthusiastic!!

Even if you can't meet the dolphins, you can still have a great time.

朝なかなか起きられない旅先ですが、おかげさまで、充実の午前中を過ごすことができました。

景色最高。

イルカは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐ事は出来ませんでした。ただし、かわいらしい二頭が、その後
船にずっと付き添って泳いでいてくれ、和みました。

重要事項!!　多くの方が船酔いで、苦しんでいました。
ABCマートなどで、必ず酔い止めを飲んでおくことが大切です。

私たちもABCマートで求めた酔い止めを、起床とともにともに飲み、全く問題なく過ごすことができました。
あ、帰り際には少しだけ気持ち悪くなりましたが。

スタッフの方々の可愛さと盛り上げが最高です!!

もしイルカに会えなくても、充分に楽しめます

The seating was at a round table for eight on the first floor, and we were seated with others. There was live music on the first floor as well, but the second floor seemed better. The meal included salad, chicken, fish, pasta, and chocolate cake, but the taste was just okay. For drinks, the buffet course charges for everything except the welcome drink. After the meal, you can freely walk around the second and third floors and the deck. The fireworks lasted for five minutes starting at 7:45. While waiting for the sunset on the second-floor deck, we even caught a glimpse of a whale for a moment.

席は一階の8人がけ丸テーブルで相席でした。一階も生演奏がありましたが、二階席の方が良さそうでした。食事は、サラダ、チキン、魚、パスタ、チョコレートケーキで、味はいまいちでした。飲み物は、buffet コースは、ウェルカムドリンク以外有料です。食事が終われば二階、三階、デッキ自由に歩き回れます。花火は、7:45分から5分間でした。二階のデッキでサンセット待ってるいるときに、鯨も一瞬見れました。

The guide was very kind, and they took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar. I was also able to see many sea turtles.

案内の人がすごく親切で、さんどばーで素敵な写真いっぱい撮ってくれました。ウミガメにもたくさん会うことが出来ました。

There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and we also played beach volleyball. The weather that day wasn't very good, but I had a great time! The staff were all very kind, and I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

シュノーケルもお魚がいっぱいいたり
ビーチバレーもしました。
その日天気はあまり良くなかったのですが
すごく楽しめました！
スタッフも優しい方ばかりでまた機会があったら参加したいと思います。

Everyone was great, experience was wonderful. Crew made you feel really safe

It was a lot of fun with thrills and excitement that are hard to experience in Japan. I think it's safe and suitable for a wide range of ages. I want to go again.

日本ではなかなか味わえないスリルと興奮で、とてもたのしかったです。
安全面も完璧で幅広い年齢層で遊べると思います。
また行きたいです。

The staff were great. They were helpful in pointing things out and when helpful when a tour member was unwell.

Go for the beautiful view, off roading in a UTV, and to see locations where movies were made. We were a group of about 5 UTV’s. Our guide was so sweet and fun and showed something cool to our kids (about the landscape).

It is NOT Universal Studios so don’t go and expect that. The sets that we did see (for Jurassic Park) we’re pretty cool. There are doors to the UTV. We kept switching seats during the tour so the kids can get to sit in front with one of us.

It feels like a driving school, and while it is safe, I really recommend it if you're looking for the experience of actually driving. If you're seeking high-speed thrills, you should look for a different tour.

教習所みたいな感じ、安全なのは安全なので本当に乗ってみる体験感覚ならおすすめ
ハイスピードのスリル求める方にはちがうツアー探された方がいいです

They will take your photo, but it is indeed a paid service. Since it can be quite expensive, it might be better to have someone else take your picture.

写真を撮ってくれるけど、やはり有料でした。
結構値段もかかるので、他の人に撮ってもらうようにした方が良いです。

It's an activity that can be enjoyed alone or with multiple people! The lively tour guides and the opportunity to swim with dolphins and turtles make it a lot of fun. Plus, there are tour guides who speak Japanese, so you can feel at ease.

1人でも複数人でも楽しめるアクティビティです！
ノリのいい添乗員やイルカや亀と一緒に泳げて、楽しいです(^^)
※日本語話せる添乗員の方もいるので、安心できます。

I was prepared for cancellation due to the strong winds that could knock down palm trees, but thanks to the efforts of the staff, we were able to proceed somehow. The experience with the two dolphins was the best experience for the children.

椰子の木が倒れるほどの強風の中、中止も覚悟しましたが、
スタッフの尽力のおかげで、なんとか行うことができました。
２頭のイルカとの体験は、子供にとっても最高の体験でした。

We had a great time enjoying the various slides with the kids. However, it was disappointing that some slides had specific operating times, so we couldn't ride them when we wanted. It would be great if the operating hours for each slide could be made public.

様々なスライダーで子供ともども楽しめました。
ただ、スライダーによっては、やっている時間とやっていない時間があるので、乗りたい時に乗れないので残念でした。
できれば、スライダーごとのやっている時間を公開して欲しいです。

The transparency of the sea was not great. I was hoping there would be a few more fish, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There weren't enough headphones, and there weren't any available for us.

海の透明度がいまいち。
もう少し魚がいるのかなぁ、と期待していまさしたが、残念でした。
ヘッドホンの数が足りておらず、私たちの分がありませんでした。

I chose the best seats, but there wasn't much of a sense of value. You can see from all four sides in a similar way. Two drinks are included, but that's about it. When it comes to going for a meal, groups with children are prioritized, so it didn't matter how good the seats were.

一番良い席にしましたが、あまりお得感がありません。
四方どこからでも同じような感じで見られます。
ドリンクが２杯付いてきますが、そのくらいです。
食事をとりに行くのも子供がいるグループが優先で、席が良くても関係ありませんでした。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

The catamaran was a lot of fun, but I couldn't see any whales. I did receive a free change ticket, but since I'm scheduled to return home the next morning, I can't use it. I don't have any plans for my next trip to Hawaii, so I might not be able to use this ticket. I wonder how long it is valid for.

カタマラン号はとても楽しかったのですが、鯨は見ることができなかった。フリーの変更チケットはいただけたのですが、次の日朝には帰国予定のため使えず。次回のハワイ行きの予定が今はないのでこのチケットは使えないのかも。有効期間はいつまでなのかー。

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

As a first time snorkelling experience this was great . I was apprehensive as no one in our group knew how to swim but dan was so Patient and helpful . When one in our group almost gave up in the water he encouraged and helped to see the amazing sea life hanauma bay offers . I would definitely recommend this to first time snorkellers .

First, you have to take off your shoes before boarding, but this was not communicated in advance. I was told to wait at the front of the deck to see the whales, and then I got completely soaked from a big wave! This was also not mentioned beforehand. I participated last year and didn't see any whales, so I tried again this time, but there was no sign of them at all. Other tours have been operating since January, but I participated at the end of December. Is it really possible to encounter whales at this time? The chances of seeing them seem almost zero. I won't be participating again at the end of the year.

まず、乗船するまえに、靴をぬがなくては行けない。が、その事は、事前連絡なし。
クジラを見れるとデッキの前にでてと言われて、待機していたら、大波で、びしょ濡れに！それも事前に伝えてもらえず。
昨年も、参加し、クジラが見えなかったので、
今回リベンジしましたが、見える気配さえありませんでした。
他のツアーでは、
1月からの催行になっていますが、
12月末の参加で、実際に本当に
クジラに遭遇できるのでしょうか？
見える確率は、ゼロに等しいのではないでしょうか？
年末にはもう、参加しません。

Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.

Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.

Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! It was truly moving to swim in such a beautiful ocean surrounded by so many dolphins and marine friends right in front of me.

At one point, I got a bit tired and waited on the boat, but instead, I was able to see the dolphins jumping all at once, and the crew played the ukulele and sang, which was really enjoyable.

The crew members were all cheerful and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and there was never a dull moment, in a good way!

One thing to note is that the snorkeling gear provided locally might be too big for smaller Japanese individuals, so it's better to either borrow a kids' size or bring your own!

This tour offered a wonderful Hawaiian experience, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of Hawaii's nature in just half a day, but what made it truly special was the crew's effort to help us create many memories. I definitely recommend playing a lot with the crew and the marine friends!

最初から最後までどこを切り取っても最高の時間を体験させてもらいました！
あれだけのイルカ先生たちや海の仲間たちを目の前にして、しかもとても綺麗な海で泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。
途中ちょっと疲れてしまって船の上で待機していたのですが、逆に一斉にイルカたちがジャンプしているのをしっかりみれたり、クルーの方がウクレレ弾いて歌ってくれたり等、色々楽しみ方があってとても良かったです。
クルーの皆さん達は本当に陽気で全員を満遍なく楽しませてくれようと頑張ってくれて、良い意味で隙が全然ありませんでした笑
一つ気になったのは、現地でお借りするシュノーケルは小柄な日本人だと大きすぎるので、全然キッズサイズを借りるか、もしくは持参の方がいいです！
とてもハワイらしい素敵な体験をさせてくれたこちらのツアーの魅力は、ハワイの大自然の良いところを半日で贅沢に味わえるのもそうですが、沢山の思い出を作らせてくれようと努力してくれたクルーの皆さんが本当に最高でした。ぜひ、クルーの皆さん達と、海の仲間達といっぱい遊んで欲しいです！

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。
