All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

A bright blue sky, white clouds, and a warm welcome from many dolphins. I made the best memories. Next time, I definitely want to challenge myself to the highest level.

真っ青な空、白い雲、たくさんのイルカのお出迎え。最高の思い出が出来ました。今度は是非とも最高度に挑戦したいです。

First of all, SANDBAR is one of the most beautiful places you’ll see. I’m not sure why is not in top 10 activities from Hawaii, but they told is more a local secret. Is a kind of mini beach in the middle of the ocean, with sand, you can bring your speaker, chairs, or whatever. Is a magic place.

The crew was full of good vibes, they made hamburgers for us and they also bring a guitar and make a great moment with that view. After the first stop at the sand bar they took us to snorkel and wauuu, such a nice place to do this, with giant turtles and a lot of fishes.

I have no bad comments for this one, was one my tops, and we do A LOT of activities this time. Trust us, you have to visit the Sandbar, and Captain Bob’s is a great choice to do this!

It was cloudy with rain, but at the snorkeling spot, there were so many sea turtles!!! I was so close that I almost bumped into one because of the waves!!! I had to desperately dodge one (laughs). After snorkeling, you have to travel for quite a long time, so it's essential to have something to wear to keep your wet body warm.

曇のち雨の天気でした・・が、
シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメたくさん！！！
近くで見ていたら波で押されてウミガメにぶつかりそうになるくらい！！！
一度除けるのに必死だった（笑）
シュノーケリング後にかなり長い時間移動するので、濡れた体が冷えないように羽織る物が必須です。

This tour gave everything we wanted and more in only two hours. Not only did we see 7-8 turtles swimming right under us for 45 mins to an hour, but we also saw whales jumping around after when we were sailing around on the boat. Our tour guides were really friendly and followed the whales for a while for us to see. It was pretty amazing! I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone even though it’s expensive. It’s totally worth it! My only regret was not buying a go pro or underwater camera because we didn’t get any pictures. So keep that in mind that the company don’t take professional pics for you to purchase, you need to take your own.

This is a must-do. You can quickly do it in the early morning and then enjoy another marine sport in the afternoon. The price is affordable, and I recommend the 120m option.

これはやるべき
早朝にパッとやって午後からまた別のマリンスポーツをやるのもあり
価格も安いしオススメは120m

I was looking for a half-day tour and found this snorkeling tour! Once on the boat, the cheerful and handsome staff explained the safety instructions and other details. Since everything was in English, they asked if I was Japanese and provided me with information tailored for Japanese participants.

Onboard, drinks and snacks were available for purchase. They also had sunscreen available for free use. As noted in other reviews, most participants were foreigners.

I was able to swim freely while snorkeling for nearly an hour. A turtle came right up close! It seemed like the staff was feeding it. I even encountered a mother and baby turtle, which was a great experience.

After that, we went sailing and enjoyed the wind while taking lots of great photos with Diamond Head in the background!!

It was so much fun!

半日でできるツアーを探していてこのシュノーケルツアーを見つけました！
船に乗ったら陽気なイケメンスタッフ達が注意事項やその他諸々説明してくれました。終始英語だったので、日本人？と聞かれ、日本人用の説明事項をくださいました。
船上では飲み物やスナックも販売。日焼け止めは自由に使っていいよと置いてありました。
他の体験談も記載の通り、参加者はほぼ外国人です。

シュノーケルは1時間近く自由に泳げました。すぐ近くにカメがやってきます。スタッフの方が餌をあげているようでした。カメの親子にも遭遇でき、よい体験でした。

そのあとセイリングも風を感じながらダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに良い写真がたくさん取れました！！

たのしかったです！

I participated with my daughter in the 90m experience. Surprisingly, my daughter, who is usually scared, found it not scary at all and said it was the best! She wants to do it again! I was glad to do the 90m as well… I think it was worth it because we got to experience a wonderful view. The boat didn’t rock too much, and it was within a tolerable range. However, regarding the tips…

There were about ten $20 bills visibly taped up, implying that you should give a $20 tip. I wasn't sure if that was the group amount or not, but since I had already prepared a $15 tip, I gave that for both of us when we disembarked. The shuttle bus driver also asked for a tip while reaching out for a handshake. I thought, "Even this person?" and since I hadn’t prepared anything, I didn’t give one. I was surprised that all the tours from Veltra in Hawaii were so overtly asking for tips.

90mに母娘で参加しました。意外にも怖がりの娘が怖くなかった上、最高！又、やりたい！との感想。私は90mで良かった……素晴らしい眺めを体験出来るので、参加して良かったと思います。船もそんなに揺れず、許容範囲内でした。ただチップに関しては………
これ見よがしに$20紙幣が10枚位すでにテープで貼り付けてあります。チップ$20は出せよ。と言う意味です。グループでの額面なのかよく分からなかっのですが、既に$15のチップを用意していたので、2人分として降船時渡しました。送迎バスの運転手も握手を求めながら、チップを要求してきました。この人まで？と思いましたし、用意していなかったので渡しませんでしたが、ベルトラのハワイツアーは、どれもあからさまにチップを要求してきたので驚きました。

The check-in process using tablet devices and the activities are conducted entirely in English. However, since there are quite a few Japanese participants, it all works out. The safety measures are extremely high to prevent any accidents. About ten people form one group, and three instructors accompany you. By the time you finish the seven courses, there’s a strange sense of camaraderie within the group. There are T-shirts for sale at the shop that the staff also wear, and the design is very nice (I purchased one). The group I joined finished around 12:40, and the return driver asked everyone for their opinions and took us to a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp in the Kahuku area. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour, as we were able to visit a place that would be hard to get to without renting a car.

現地到着後のタブレット端末によるチェックイン作業やアクティビティー中のガイドはすべて英語で行われます。ただし、日本人の参加者もそこそこいる人気のツアーなのでなんとかなります。事故が起きないよう安全に対する配慮は極めて高いです。10名くらいが１グループになってコースを回るスタイルで、３人のインストラクターが帯同します。７本終えるころには１グループに妙な連帯感がでます。売店でスタッフも着用しているTシャツなどが売っているのですが、デザインがとても良いです。（購入済み）私が参加した組は終了時間が12時40分くらいで、帰りの送迎ドライバーさんがみんなに意見を聞き、カフク地区名物のガーリックシュリンプのお店に寄ってくれました。レンタカーを借りなければなかなか行けないお店にも寄れて大満足のツアーになりました。

I was surprised that I could see that. The next day, when I went to Hanauma Bay, I encountered a whale! It was really impressive as it jumped multiple times!! If you go to Hanauma Bay early in the morning, you might get to see one too (laughs).

あれで見れたの？？って感じでした。次の日ハナウマ湾に行ってきたら普通にクジラに遭遇しました。そっちの方が何回も飛んだりしていたのですごい迫力でした！！
ハナウマ湾を朝早くから行ったら会えるかも(笑)

Parasailing was my first experience, and I was a bit nervous before taking off, but once I was in the air, it was not scary at all and felt refreshing! It was amazing!

パラセイリングは初体験で、飛ぶまではちょっとびびってましたが、空に上がると全然怖くなくて気分爽快！最高でした！

I wanted to do some activities in the ocean, so I signed up. I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling! There were three of them, and one even came up to the surface, which was such a delightful moment.

Just when I thought it was over with the sea turtles, we moved further out to sea after getting back on the boat and were able to see wild dolphins! They also served beer and snacks on the boat, which was fantastic!

海に入るアクティビティがしたく、申し込みました。シュノーケリングでウミガメが見れました！しかも3頭いてそのうちの1頭が水面まで上がってくるという嬉しい場面もありました。
さらにウミガメで終わりかと思いきや海から船に上がったあとさらに沖まで移動し、野生のイルカまで見ることが出来ました！船内ではビールやスナックもサービスで出してくれるし最高でした！

I participated with my mother, who is over 70, and my 3-year-old child. I was worried because my child had a tough time with seasickness on a previous tour, but we were able to enjoy the trip without any seasickness.

70過ぎの母親と３歳の子供を連れての参加でした。以前に他のツアーで船酔いで子供が辛そうだったため不安でしたが、船酔いなく楽しむことができました。

The pickup was on time. It's a tour where even those who can't speak English can manage as long as they can say "yes" or "no." The pilot was very kind and talkative, which was great. The helicopter was an MD500 without windows, just as I imagined. While riding, the wind blowing in was strong, and as mentioned in the experiences, I thought it would be quite cold if I didn't wear a down jacket. The scenery was amazing. I would love to ride again if I have the chance.

送迎は時間通りでした。英語が話せない方でもYES やNOくらいが言えれば大丈夫なツアーです。パイロットはとても優しく、良く喋る方で良かったです。ヘリはMD500の窓なしでイメージ通り。乗っている間は吹き込んでくる風が強く、体験談の通り、ダウンジャケットを着ないと結構寒いなと思いました。景色は最高でした。又機会があれば乗りたいと思います。

I reserved a one-hour buggy course. Since there is no shuttle service from the hotel, we scheduled it to coincide with the day we rented a car. As others have mentioned, although the voucher states a 9:30 start time, you need to be there by 9:00, or they will start without you. It seems they start calling names around 9:10. I knew this but still arrived at 9:15 and missed it. However, it was okay. There was another course at 10:30, so I waited a bit and was able to participate starting at 10:30. *Be aware that during peak times, they might refuse you.*

As a note for this tour, a certain level of strength and driving skill is required. Without these, you won't be allowed to ride the buggy, and they are quite strict about it. There was even one person in my group who dropped out.

I participated with my wife, and I wish we had chosen the two-hour course instead of the one-hour course because it was so much fun. The scenery was fantastic, and the weather was perfect with a temperature of 27 degrees in January! Overall, we had a great time.

Photography during driving or riding is prohibited. However, using something like a GoPro that can be attached to your chest is allowed.

For the one-hour course, there is only one photo opportunity. If you want more, I recommend the two-hour course. By the way, if you are late for the two-hour course, I believe it will be treated as a cancellation, so be careful.

There were also horseback riding and location tours, but it was clear that the people on the single-rider buggies were having the most fun.

It's expensive, but it's worth it.

1時間バギーコースを予約しました。
ホテルからの送迎はないので、私達はレンタカーを借りる日とダブらせて予約。
他の方も書いてますが、9:30開始とバウチャーには書いてますが9:00には現地にいないとさっさと始められちゃいます。
9:10には名前読んでるみたいです。
そうゆう私は分かっていながら9:15に行って間に合いませんでした。
でも大丈夫。10:30からのコースもあるので少し待って10:30から体験できました。※繁忙期は断れるかもしれないので注意を。

ここでこのツアーの注意点として、ある程度の腕力と運転のセンスは必要です。
これがないとバギーに乗らせてくれません。しかも結構厳しい。
私と一緒に参加した人の中にも1名脱落者がいました。

私は妻と参加ですが1時間コースではなく2時間コースにすれば良かったと思うほど楽しかったです。
景色も快晴だったので最高。
1月なので気温も27度と快適！
とにかく楽しめました。

運転中や乗車中の写真撮影は禁止。でもGoProみたいなもので胸元などに付けられるものはオッケーでした。

1時間コースでは写真の撮影ポイントは1箇所のみです。物足りない人は2時間コースおすすめします。
因みに2時間コースで時間に遅れるとキャンセル扱いになると思いますのでご注意を。

乗馬やロケ地巡りもやってましたが明らかに1人乗りバギーの人が一番楽しそうでした。

高いけどやる価値ありです。

The staff were lively and made the journey enjoyable. When we went up high, it was quiet and we could see the beautiful horizon. In the end, we were unceremoniously dropped into the sea...

道中もノリが良いスタッフにて盛り上がり楽しかったです。上空に行くと静かで水平線が見れ綺麗、最後は容赦なく海に落とされます…

I'm glad I did it! I had my friends join me, and they were really happy about it too, so it was great!

やってよかったです！お友達には付き合ってもらって一緒にやってもらったんですけど、お友達にもとっても喜んでもらえたので、良かったです！

I participated in the same tour last year, and it was so much fun that I decided to repeat it. Last time, I couldn't get a DVD recorded, but this time I requested it when I made the reservation and received confirmation before going. (Last time, I was told it couldn't be done on the day due to staffing issues.)

I was happy to see the dolphins in Maui again!

昨年も同じツアーに参加しましたが、とっても楽しかったのでリピートしました。
前回はDVDを撮ってもらえなかったのですが、今回は予約時にお願いして確約が取れてからいきました。（前回人手の関係上、当日出来ないと言われたので）

イルカのマウイにまた会えて嬉しかったです！

I was thinking it would be nice to go on a cruise even if I couldn't see much after reading other people's experiences, but just about five minutes after we set sail, we saw a whale! We got to see it jump and spout water many times! It came right next to the boat, and it was a satisfying tour! My daughter seemed really excited, as she didn't expect to see so much! The boat didn't rock too much either, so it was a great cruise!

他の方の体験談などを読みまぁ見れなくてもクルージングできればいいかなと思っていたのですが出港後5分位で直ぐにグジラさんが…
飛び上がったり潮を吹いたり沢山見れました！
船の直ぐ側にも来てくれて満足のツアーでした！！娘もこんなに沢山見れると思っていなかったようでとても興奮してました！！！
船もそんなに大きく揺れる事もなくよいクルージングでしたぁ！

Although I was anxious because I can't swim, I was surprised to participate! In the two-hour lesson, I was able to ride the waves well. It seemed like they had a lot of fun and said they want to surf even after returning to Japan.

Thank you very much!

泳げないので不安がっていたものの、参加してビックリ‼️
2時間のレッスンでしっかり波にのることができてました。
本人たちも相当楽しかったようで日本に帰ってもサーフィンをしたいと言ってました。

ありがとうございました

The guides were hilarious and very inviting! We saw a ton of turtles and even a shark while snorkeling! After getting back on the boat we cruised down Waikiki and saw a baby whale breaching and playing in the water. Such a fun morning! Best experience here on Honolulu!

It was 150 meters high, but I didn't feel as much fear as I expected. The fun staff provided great guidance, and it was a wonderful experience! You definitely have to do this when you go to Hawaii!

150メートルだったけど、思ったより高さに対する恐怖もなく、楽しいお兄さん達が指導してくれてとてもいい体験が出来ました！
ハワイに行ったら絶対やるべきー

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).

There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).

As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.

最初バスで行こうと思いましたが乗り方、時間がわからずＨＩＳで相談しました。そうしたら時間もかかるし、乗換もわからないと着くまでに大変ですよと言われ、キャンセルも視野に入れましたが。急きょタクシー（値段が高い）に
しました。おばあちゃん７名ですが全員初心者、最初は恐る恐る乗っていましたが次第に慣れ、ついていただいた女性の方がとても明るい方なので楽しくなり最高でした。（やって良かったです）
慣れたのか、みなさん乗馬に行って走らせてみたいと言う意見もありました。
クアロアは有名ですが、ここはローカルなようで日本語は通じないですがなんとかコミニュケーションができます。また小さい子供さんもいましたがとても楽しんでいました。

It was amazing. I saw a lot of sea turtles. It was a bit cold, but the weather was nice, and I was able to go snorkeling. My daughter was very happy. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once.

最高でした。ウミガメたくさん見れました。少し寒かったですが、天気も良く、シュノーケリングもでき、娘も大喜び。一度は体験してみる価値あり。

I was a bit worried until I got on the boat, but once I was on, I thought, "Whatever happens, happens!" and decided to enjoy myself. I had a great time with the vast ocean of Hawaii, the sea breeze, and the crew's jokes and playful antics.

The boat swayed quite a bit, and some passengers got a little seasick. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication; I took some beforehand. As for tips, in our case, we handed them out casually on the way back after everyone had finished flying (I think it was $10?).

Just before taking off, they asked if we wanted to take photos, and when I said yes, they started taking pictures right after we jumped. After we got off the boat, the staff reminded us about the photos. It was $30 for cash and $35 for card payment, so I paid $30 in cash and received the SD card on the spot. They took about 70 pictures.

It was 120 meters high, but the view was amazing! If you're in Hawaii, shopping is nice, but you should definitely go flying! The bus driver for the hotel transfer also chatted with me in broken Japanese, which was fun!

船に乗るまではちょっと心配でしたが、船に乗ったらもうどうにでもなれ！という感じで、楽しむことにして、
ハワイの大海原と、潮風と、クルーさんの冗談や可愛いちょっかいを
大いに楽しみました♪
船はかなり揺れます。同乗者にも少々酔ってしまった方がおりました。
酔い止めは飲んだほうがよいと思います。私は飲んでおきました。
チップは、私達の場合は、全員が飛び終わり戻る船の中でなんとなく手渡しました。（＄10だったかな？）
写真のデータは、いざ飛び上がる直前に、写真撮るか？と聞かれ、お願いしますと頼むと、飛び上がったあとすぐに撮り始まってくれました。船を降りてから、係の人が写真頼みましたよね、と声をかけてくれて、
現金だと＄30、カードだと＄35なので、現金で＄30支払い、SDカードをその場で受け取れます。約70枚撮ってくれました。
１２０ｍでしたが、眺めは最高ーー！ハワイに来たなら、お買い物もいいけど、飛んどいたほうがいいです(´∀｀)ﾉ
ホテルまでの送迎バスの運転手さんも、片言の日本語で楽しくお話ししてくださいました♪

We had planned for about a two-hour cruise, and I was imagining it would be nice to see whales after about 30 minutes. However, within just five minutes of departure, we spotted whales! When I hurried out onto the deck, I was able to see a mother whale and her four calves up close! The local crew mentioned that it's quite rare to see them this early and so close, and they were cheering with excitement. The other passengers were also thrilled. We continued to move alongside the mother and her calves for the entire trip. The beautiful sea and the dynamic sight of the whales made me feel the greatness of the Earth, and I almost cried.

2時間くらいのクルージングの予定で、30分くらい経ってからクジラが見られたらいいのかな？と勝手に想像していたら、出航してから５分も経たないうちにクジラがいる！とのこと。慌てて甲板にでるとすぐ近くにクジラの親子が4匹確認出来ました！！現地クルーの人もこんなに早く、間近にみえるのはかなり稀とのことで歓声をあげていました。乗っていたお客さんも大盛り大興奮。その後もずーーっとクジラの親子とともに最後まで移動。きれいな海とクジラのダイナミックな姿に地球の偉大さを感じ涙が出そうになりました。

We participated in the all-you-can-eat appetizer buffet on the 3rd floor, which included free drinks. It was relatively quiet, and the waiter took our drink orders. I chose champagne, and it was a rosé champagne. It was delicious. Beer, wine, and champagne were free, while other items were available for an additional charge.

The food included several types such as yakitori, meatballs, sausages, and edamame. The most eye-catching item was a pineapple decorated with skewers of various fruits, which was impressive and delicious.

Of course, the view was also wonderful, and watching the sunset was very moving. Around sunset, people from other floors gathered on the 3rd floor, making it lively. Since it was a Friday night, we were able to enjoy the fireworks from a prime spot, which doubled our enjoyment.

私達は3Fのアペタイザー食べ放題（フリードリンク付き参加でした。比較的空いていて、ウエイターがドリンクの注文を聞いてくれ、私はシャンパンにしたら、ロゼのシャンパンでした。美味しかった。ビール、ワイン、シャンパンは無料で、他の物は別料金でした。
お料理は、焼き鳥、肉団子、ソーセージ、枝豆など数種類ありました。一番目を引いたのは、パイナップルに数種類の果物の串刺しが飾らせていたのが、印象的でしかも美味しかったです。
勿論景色も素晴らしく、日の入りのタイミングを見守るのはとても感激しました。日の入りのタイミングの頃には、他の階の方が3Fに集まり、賑やかになりました。金曜の夜でしたので、花火も特等席で鑑賞でき、2倍楽しみました。

The tour is is done by a woman who works for CBS and associated with the show. She adds lots of personal stories that really adds to the tour. It was a lot of fun.

The whole day was great - sandbar, turtles, snorkeling and lunch. And of course, the staff! Will highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Oahu. Thanks!

I participated in a pool event for the first time in Hawaii. The meeting place was at the exit behind the Hyatt, but initially, there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance on the side, so I mistakenly waited there and realized just in time that I was in the wrong place, which was a close call. Since we were heading there by a sightseeing bus instead of a van, first-timers should be careful.

The pool had various attractions and was enjoyable, but in the morning, some features like the lazy river weren't operational, so it's something to keep in mind. The BBQ was delicious, and I was quite satisfied with the food. However, if someone wants to save money, it might be better to skip the BBQ and just have a hamburger. Also, the bus had strong air conditioning, so it was cold. I think it's a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt, especially since your body temperature drops after being in the pool.

It's less crowded than pools in Japan, so if you get tired of swimming at the beach, I think it's worth checking out at least once.

初めてのハワイでのプールに参加しました。
集合場所は、ハイアットの裏手の出口でしたが、最初、横手にある玄関で待っている人が結構いたので、一緒に待っていたら間違っており
集合時間ギリギリに気づき危なかったです。バンとかでなく観光バスで向かうので、初めての人は気を付けたほうが良いです。
　プールは、色々とあり楽しめたのですが、午前中は流れるプールなどが
稼働してなかったりするので、注意が必要です。BBQは、お肉もおいしくて
十分に満足できる内容でした。ただ安く済ませたい人は、BBQにせずハンバーガーを食べるのでもよいかもしれません。あとバスの中はクーラーが効いており寒いので。長袖は持って行ったほうが良いと思います。特に帰りは
プールにつかり体温が下がっているので…。
日本のプールよりも空いているので、ビーチでの泳ぎに飽きたら
一度は行ってみる価値はあるかと思います。

I boldly signed up for the 150m experience. We went straight up into the sky, and it felt quite high, but it was refreshing. My family of three was able to fly together, creating wonderful memories. I took motion sickness medication, but my son felt a bit seasick. However, by the time we finished and were heading back, it seemed like he completely forgot about the seasickness because we were able to see two whales. It was a very lucky experience!

思い切って150ｍで申し込みました。すーと上空に上がって行き、かなり高く感じましたが爽快でした。家族３人で飛ぶことができ、いい思い出になりました。酔い止めを飲んで乗りましたが息子は少し船酔いをしていました。しかし、全員が終わって帰るときに２頭のクジラを見ることができ、船酔いも完全に忘れていたようです。とてもラッキーな体験をしました！
