All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I participated in the encounter.
Good points:
The bus is large, so it's less likely to make you feel sick.
It's sufficient for elementary school lower grades.
You can feed the birds as much as you want.

Bad points:
Each guardian needs to be a separate adult, which is not suitable for families with many children. I was charged a change fee of 99 USD when I requested a change.
The tour price is high.
The facilities are old, and the food is not great. I should have brought my own.
The meeting time for the return was at 14:30, which was busy and tiring.

Result:
If I had been familiar with it, I could have arranged it differently.

良いところ
バスが大型なので酔いづらい。
小学生低学年には充分。
とりの餌やりはやり放題。

悪いところ
保護者が１人１人ずつ別々な大人が必要で子供が多い家族には不向き。変更を求められて変更手数料とかで99USDを取られました。
ツアー代金が高い。
施設が古く食事も大したことない。持参すればよかった。
帰りの集合時間が14:30で忙しくて疲れた。

結果
慣れていれば別な方法で手配すればよかった。

I didn't expect to see many whales, but I was able to see quite a few. When we arrived at the boat via the shuttle bus, there were already many guests on board, but we secured a table on the second floor and enjoyed some coffee as we set sail. After about an hour, we reached the area past Diamond Head, and just when I was about to give up on seeing any whales, we spotted one blowing water and showing its tail. We were able to see it about five or six more times. The outside deck was too crowded, but it was better inside the boat where there were fewer people, making it easy to see out of the windows on both sides. It was a sunny day, and the sun was reflecting off the water, so sunglasses were a must. When I asked the bus driver on the way back to drop me off at Ala Moana, he agreed.

クジラを見ることをあまり期待していませんでしたが、たくさん見ることができました。迎えのバスで船に着くと、船内には既に多くの先客がいましたが、２階のテーブルに席を確保し、コーヒーなどを飲んでいると出航しました。１時間ほどでダイヤモンドヘッドの先につきましたが、クジラが見当たらないのであきらめていたところ、潮を吹きながら、テールを見せるクジラを発見。その後も５-６回見ることができました。外のデッキは人が多くていけませんでいたが、船の中のほうが人が少なく、左右の窓から容易にみられるので、良かったです。当日は晴れて太陽が水面に反射していたのでサングラスは必須です。帰りのバスの運転手さんにアラモアナで降りたいとお願いしたらOKでした。

Waking up early was tough for me (since I'm not good at it), but I was very satisfied to meet a pod of dolphins. We were able to snorkel with about 20 dolphins for around 20 minutes (it might have been longer!).

On the bus to the port, a Japanese female tour guide taught us a lot about dolphins, which was very informative. It was a bit cold since it was February, but I rented a wetsuit for $10, so I managed to avoid catching a cold on the way back.

We got seasick and felt a bit unwell during the trip, but we still managed to have fun! A professional photographer took pictures during the tour, and you can purchase them for $50. The photographer was taking photos of participants on the boat and diving to capture shots at the dolphin points. We didn't buy any this time since we couldn't check what kind of photos were taken before purchasing, but many other participants ended up buying them!

Whether the weather is good or how many dolphins you encounter depends on luck that day, but I've never been on a dolphin tour where I didn't see any, so you can be sure you'll have a high chance of encountering them! It was a fun tour!

早起きが大変でした(苦手なので)が、イルカの群れと会うことができて、大満足でした。
２０頭くらいのイルカの群れと一緒に、２０分くらい(もっと長かったかもしれない)シュノーケリングできました！
港までのバスの中では、ツアーガイドの日本人女性の方にイルカのことを詳しく教えてもらい勉強になりました。
２月だったので少し寒かったですが、ウエットスーツを10ドルで借りたので何とか風邪は引かずに帰って来れました。
私たちは船酔いし、途中気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、それでも楽しむことができました！
ツアーの様子は、プロのカメラマンさんが写真に撮ってくれていて、５０ドルで購入することができます。カメラマンさんは、船の上では参加者にカメラを向けてくれていましたし、イルカのポイントでは潜って撮っていました。どんな写真が撮れているのか購入前に確認できなかったちめ、私たちは今回は購入しませんでしたが、他の参加者の皆さんは結構購入されている方が多かったです！
天気が良いかや、どのくらいイルカと出会えるかは当日の運次第ですが、イルカのツアーでこれまでに出会えなかったことはないので、高確率で出会えること間違いなしです！
楽しいツアーでしたー！

The instructor was really fun, kind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while having a good time. There were a lot of corals on the ground, and I got hurt when I fell, but the experience was so enjoyable that I forgot about it. Even someone like me, who isn't good at sports, was able to stand up a little, and my friends were getting up multiple times to do the aloha pose. I made the best memories!

インストラクターの方がすごく楽しくて優しくてわいわいしながらすることができました。地面にサンゴがいっぱいで落下時に怪我をしてしまいましたが、それを忘れるくらい楽しく体験できました。運動下手な私も少し立つことができ、周りの友達も何度も立ってアロハポーズをしたりしていました。
最高の思い出ができました！

I signed up for Dolphin Aloha, and both my 10-year-old and 2-year-old sons had a great time. The site mentioned to bring sandals and towels, but they turned out to be unnecessary for this course (there are a few moments where you might get a little wet, but they inform you in advance).

Before the course, the staff checks both hands. My wife was a bit worried because she had nail art, but they checked one spot on each hand, and since there were few protrusions and it was coated, we received the OK after the check.

Cameras and phones are not allowed, so you can purchase photos taken by the staff later (optional). A passport is required for credit card use, but a photo of it was also acceptable.

The course was organized into a group of only Japanese participants, and the guidance was provided in Japanese, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. During regular periods, about half of the participants are Japanese, and during busy periods, it's about 80%.

ドルフィンアロハを申し込みましたが、10歳及び2歳の息子、二人とも楽しんでいました。
サイトにはサンダルとタオル持参とかいてあったのですが、このコースでは結果的に不要でした（少し濡れる場面はありますが、事前に言っていただけます）
コース前には両手を係の方がチェックされます。妻がネイルアートをしていたので少し心配していたのですが、両手一カ所ずつで、突起も少なくコーティングもしてあったからか、チェックしていただいた上でOKをいただきました。
カメラ、携帯が使えないので、係の方が捕られた写真をあとで購入する形です（任意）クレジットカード利用時にはパスポートが必要ですが、写真でもOKでした。
コースは日本人だけのグループが作られて、日本語で案内が行われ、安心して参加できました。通常期で半分、繁忙期だと8割が日本人とのことです。

it could be better, but bad weather caused out helicopter tour be canceled. but the tour provider directly pick us and put us on the land tour. our tour leader and driver, John, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. he share us alot of things about big island. he is indeed a great driver too!

a very nice 1-day tour! Oahu at a glimpse, our tour leader cum driver, Ken, was very entertaining.

we met 1 shark, very good experience. but the timing we chosen wrongly, too early in the morning makes us freezing. no place to change in the ship, so you have to settle with your towel and change only when you reach the land.

the food was normal, but lots of activity on board that you can participate. quite a great experience.

What could be more exhilarating than interacting with an animal you have been taught all your life to fear? You have guides that take total care of you, from safety briefing to taking pictures of your interaction. This was my second time and the thrill was just as impressive as was the first time. This experience should be the number one activity for any tourist on Oahu. We were with 7 sharks and one barracuda. The speed and agility of sharks must be experienced to be appreciated. Sharks are magnificent animals. Thanks again guys for the ultimate experience.

Our guide was excellent. The problem was that the monsoon rains from the night before had caused the river mud to cloud the sea water making the see through aspect of the kayak non-functional

It was a family trip to Hawaii!
Although it wasn't my first time paragliding, as expected in Honolulu, when you go high up while paragliding, you can see the beautiful town of Honolulu and Diamond Head. The weather was cloudy, but it was amazing!!

家族でのハワイ旅行でした！
パラセイリング自体は初めてではなかったのですが。
さすがホノルル、パラセイリングで高くあがると綺麗なホノルルの町やダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せて、天気は曇っていましたが最高でした！！

I had a reservation for 16:00, but there was heavy rain and strong winds during the day. When I inquired around 13:00, I was told that the event was still scheduled to proceed as planned, so I waited in my swimsuit in the cold at the pickup time.

After waiting, I was called to the lobby, and sure enough, I received a cancellation notice from the operating company.

I think it was too late to notify us of the cancellation after the pickup time had passed. Even though the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, I would expect a decision to be made at least by the morning of the day. Thanks to this, I wasted my time.

16:00～でこちらを予約していましたが、お昼の時点で大雨・強風。
13:00ごろ問い合わせたときは「予定通り催行予定」とのことだったので、寒い中ピックアップ時間に水着の状態で待っていました。
待っていたらロビーの方から電話があるとのことで呼ばれ、出てみたら案の定催行会社から中止の連絡でした。

ピックアップ時間が過ぎてから中止の連絡は遅すぎると思います。
いくらハワイの天気が変わりやすいからといっても、せめて当日の朝には判断してほしいです。おかげで時間を無駄にしました。

Take the tour with this company! We were hoping to see some whales and have a great cruise on the ocean. Our cruise turned out beyond expectations. Not just because we saw lots of whales but Captain Amy and her happy crew had the best attitude. They were knowledgeable, very considerate, and made sure we had fun. Despite the downpour of rain at the very end, even this turned out to be a fun adventure!

Easy and no hassle transport from Waikiki to Diamond Head. On time pick up, drops off at the visitors centre so you don’t have to walk from the bus stop. Good banter and information given by driver. Made the experience more enjoyable having a quick and convenient way to get to and from the hike location.

I was disappointed to only see a glimpse of the whale's back. I participated with breakfast included, but there was a limited variety of ingredients.

鯨の背中が少し見えただけで残念でした。
朝食付きで参加しましたが食材のレパートリーが少なかったです。

While there is an element of luck involved since it's nature, I believe the 90% encounter rate is thanks to the expertise of the renowned Dolphin University.

About ten minutes into the boat ride, we had our first dive, where we only encountered a sea turtle, but during the second dive, we encountered dolphins. We saw dozens of them and were able to swim alongside them (though we couldn't dive since we were wearing life jackets).

We were also able to get very close to the sea turtles. While snorkeling, we were surrounded by many fish. We even got to go whale watching, and we clearly saw the tail of a whale, which is said to bring happiness when spotted.

It was the best experience, one that I doubt I will ever have again.

My wife mentioned that she found it tough because she can't swim and is sensitive to the cold, but this is a tour I want to participate in every time I come to Hawaii.

If you prepare well with cold weather gear (dry towels, long sleeves, wetsuits) and measures for seasickness, I think it will be an extremely satisfying tour.

Even if you don't see dolphins, the guide will keep the atmosphere lively, so I believe you'll have a fun time without a doubt.

I can confidently recommend this tour.

自然相手なので、運の要素はありますが、遭遇率90%は、名門イルカ大学さんの腕だと思います。

乗船10分程で、一回目のダイブ、そこではイルカには会えずにウミガメのみ、二回目のダイブでイルカと遭遇。何十匹と見えて、しかも一緒に泳ぐ（ライフジャケット来てるので、潜ることはできない）ことはできました。

ウミガメも目と鼻の先まで近づくことができました。
スノーケリングでは沢山の魚に囲まれます。
ホエールウォッチングも出来て、見ると幸せになるというクジラの尻尾までくっきりと見えました。

二度とこんな体験は出来ないだろう、というくらい最高の体験でした。

嫁は、泳げないのと、寒さに弱いのとで、もうきつい、と言ってましたが、私はハワイに来るたびには必ず参加したいツアーです。

防寒対策（乾いたタオル、長袖、ウェットスーツ）と船酔い対策をしっかりしておけば極めて満足感の高いツアーになるのではないでしょうか。

たとえ、イルカに会えなくとも、ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるので、楽しい時間になることは間違いないと思います。

自信を持ってオススメできるツアーです。

The crew members that took us out we not only informative, but they made the trip fun! They took their time to make sure we were having a nice time....

I participated in mid-February. It took about an hour by rental car from the center of Waikiki to get there. The staff kindly taught us how to ride, and there were a total of five of us: one staff member and four tour participants, as we explored the vast ranch for about an hour and a half.

In the middle of the course, we took commemorative photos on a hill with a great view, which became a wonderful memory.

While there aren't as many activities as at places like Kualoa Ranch, I highly recommend it for those who want to enjoy horseback riding at a leisurely pace!

2月の中旬に参加させていただきました。ワイキキの中心地からレンタカーで約一時間で着きました。
スタッフの方に丁寧に乗り方等を教えていただき、スタッフ１名、ツアー参加者４名の計５名で広大な牧場を約一時間半かけて回りました。
コースの中盤では見晴らしの良い丘の上で記念撮影をしてもらい、とても良い思い出になりました。

クアロア牧場のように乗馬以外のアクティビティがたくさんある訳ではないですが、乗馬だけをゆっくり楽しみたい方にはとてもオススメです！

Unfortunately, we encountered a day of heavy rain. Many people got off the shuttle bus from the hotel without umbrellas and boarded the boat. The air conditioning was strong, and we were shivering in our wet clothes. They temporarily turned off the air conditioning after seeing us, but it was soon turned back on. The sea outside was also rough, making it quite challenging.

As for the whales, there was an announcement about their direction, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any and received replacement tickets. My friend who got seasick probably won't go again! (laughs) However, I think the tour itself isn't bad, as weather and whale sightings are a matter of luck.

あいにくの大雨の日に当たってしまいました。ホテルから送迎バスを降りて、傘を持ってなかった人も多くて船に乗り込みました。
冷房が強くて、濡れた服を着た私達は震えてました。その様子を見て一旦冷房を止めてくれたのですが、すぐに再開。外の海も荒れていたので、なかなか辛かったです。
肝心の鯨は、何時の方向にいるとアナウンスが入るのですが、残念ながら見られずに振替チケットをもらいました。
船酔いした友達はもう行く事はないかな？（笑）
でも、天気も鯨も運なので、ツアー自体は悪くないと思います。

I participated thinking I would see whales like in the photos above, but I could only see a spout in the distance and a small tail fin. If you join with expectations like those in the photos, you might feel quite disappointed. I think it's better to have the mindset that seeing even a little would be lucky. However, the tour guides and the view of Waikiki from the sea are fantastic.

As for the weather and the taste of the beer, it feels incredibly luxurious. Just be careful of seasickness!

上記の写真の様な感じでクジラが見えるのかと？と思い参加しましたが
遠くの方で潮が吹き尾びれが小さく見える程度です。
余りに写真の様な期待をして参加すると”がっかり度”が大きいですよ。
ちょっと見えればラッキーくらいの感じがいいと思います。
ただ、添乗員の皆さまや海から見るワイキキは最高ですよ。

後は天気とビールの味は最高に贅沢な気分になります。
注意はやはり船酔いですね。気を付けて！！

I was finally able to meet a sea turtle! The instructions were very thorough, and the explanations were plentiful, making it easy to understand and feel comfortable participating. Thank you for a truly enjoyable and wonderful time!

念願のウミガメに会うことができました♪丁寧に教えて頂き、説明もたくさんして頂いたので分かりやすく安心して参加できました。本当に楽しい素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

The crew members who spoke Japanese were very gentlemanly and it was great.

I participated with four adults and my one-and-a-half-year-old nephew. I was hoping for low tide at the sandbar, but it was up to my knees and thighs. Still, the weather was great, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was! My nephew brought a child-sized float and had a blast floating around!

We played and had a BBQ on the boat! The hamburgers were absolutely delicious, and I even finished what my nephew left behind! The meat was freshly grilled, so it was incredibly tasty! My father is quite particular about food, but he keeps saying how good the hamburgers were since we returned home.

It was really delicious! They were considerate of my nephew, making his hamburger early and checking on him to keep him happy. Everyone was so kind to him! After the meal, we went sea turtle watching and snorkeling, which was also a lot of fun!

It started to drizzle a little, but it stopped quickly, and we enjoyed ourselves completely. The crew was fantastic, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad we booked this tour! My family is still reminiscing about our memories in Hawaii. Once my nephew is old enough to remember, I plan to book this tour again!

大人４人と１歳半の甥と一緒に参加しました。サンドバーはくるぶしくらいの干潮を願ってましたが、膝上、太ももくらいでした。それでも天気が良くてめっちゃ綺麗でびっくりしました！！甥っ子は、子供用の浮き輪を持参し、ぷかぷか浮かんで楽しんでくれていました！笑
遊んで船の上でBBQ！これまたハンバーガーが絶品で甥っ子の残りも食べてしまいました、、、笑
肉が焼きたてやからめっちゃ美味しかったです！！！！
父も食にはうるさい方なのですが、
BBQで食べたハンバーガーが美味かったと
帰国してからもずっと言ってます。笑
本当に美味しかったです！
甥っ子にも気を遣っていただいて
早めにハンバーガーを作ってくださったり
甥っ子の機嫌とりにきてくださったり
皆さん可愛がってくれはりました！
ご飯の後は、ウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリングをしました。
これまた楽しかったです！！
この辺りから小雨が降りましたがすぐ止んで全然楽しめました(^○^)
クルーの人達のノリが最高に良く
めっちゃ楽しいツアーでした！！
このツアー組んで良かったなぁ！と
未だに家族でハワイの思い出を語ってます(^○^)
甥っ子が記憶残る歳になったら
またこのツアーを組もうと思います(^○^)

I attempted the 120m jump. The day I had reserved was canceled due to bad weather, but they were able to reschedule for a time that worked for us the next day! The pickup was also on time.
The boat does sway quite a bit. It feels nice once you're flying, but those who are sensitive to swinging like on a swing set might feel a bit nauseous.
When I actually flew, it felt like a very long time, and I was able to enjoy the scenery thoroughly.

120mに挑戦しました。予約していた日が悪天候だったため、当日にキャンセルになってしまったのですが、翌日の私たちの都合にあった時間に変更していただけました！ピックアップも時間通りでした。
船は結構揺れます。飛んでからも気持ちいいですが、ブランコのような揺れが苦手な方は少し酔うかもしれません。
実際飛んでみるととても長い時間のように感じて、十分景色を楽しむこともできました。

Considering the winter activities, how was it? I participated knowing that visibility might be limited, but I was really disappointed because I could only see a small glimpse of the whales far away, and it wasn't clear enough to capture a photo. Although the whales were hard to see, I thought it might not be a bad tour if I considered it as a walk on the boat.

冬ならではのアクティビティのわりには、いかがなものでしょうか。
見えない場合もあるのは承知の上、参加しましたが、
本当に遠くに小さく、一瞬見えただけで、とても写真におさめることもできず、肉眼ではっきりみえたわけでもないので、がっかりですね。
ホエールは見えにくかったけれど、船の船上散歩と考えれば、悪くないツアーかな？？？と思いました。

Nice city tour with special driver but the memorial just acceptable

On the 1:30 PM cruise, it mentioned that "light snacks" were included in the price. I was expecting something like sandwiches, but it turned out to be just potato chips and cookies. I think it would be better to describe this as snacks rather than light meals. However, the beer was unlimited. Of course, we also saw whales. Ah, I'm so hungry!!!

午後1時30分のクルーズで、料金に含まれているものの中に「軽食」とありました。サンドイッチくらいでるのかな、と思っていたら、なんとポテトチップとクッキーのみでした。これでは軽食でなくお菓子と記載した方が良いと思います。でも、ビールは飲みほーだいでした。もちろん、クジラも見えました。あー、腹減った！！！

This was my first time participating. From a distance, the 110m height looked quite intimidating, but once I actually tried it, I felt a rush of excitement and had a lot of fun. Since we were in a small boat and the waves were a bit high, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before joining. The crew members were also a fun bunch, and they made the activity enjoyable with their lively spirit. They provide explanations in Japanese, so I think you can relax and enjoy yourself. It was a bit cloudy and chilly, so I think having a jacket or a bath towel would be helpful. They also accommodate requests like wanting to stay completely dry or wanting to get your legs wet. I would love to participate again!

初めての参加でした。
110mで遠くから見るとかなり高いのでドキドキしましたが、実際にやってみるとかなり興奮し、楽しかったです。
小さなボートでやや波も高かったので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。
クルーのお兄さんたちも愉快な人たちで、ノリノリの中で楽しくアクティビティを行ってくれました。日本語で説明してくれるので安心して楽しめると思います。
曇りでやや寒かったですが、上着やバスタオルがあるといいと思います。全く濡れないようにしたい、脚まで浸かりたい、などの要望も聞いてくれます。また参加したいです！
