All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Since my child is small and unable to enjoy activities like snorkeling, we participated in a whale watching tour. There are many comments about not seeing whales on this tour, and unfortunately, we were no exception. However, the weather was nice, and when we went out on deck, the breeze felt pleasant. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea was quite lovely, and I thought it was worth participating at this price.

子供が小さくて、シュノーケリングなどのアクティビティが楽しめないので、ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。クジラが見えないというコメントも多々見られるこのツアーですが、ご他聞にもれず見ることができませんでした。しかしながら、天気が良く甲板にでると風が気持ちよく、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチもなかなか良いものであり、この値段なら参加価値はあるかナと思いました。

My daughter, despite her worries, started crying because she wanted to touch more and feed the fish. It seems she had a great time! If there's another opportunity, I would love to choose again!

娘は心配をよそに、もっと触りたい、お魚あげたいと泣き出すほど。とっても楽しかったようです！また機会があれば選びたいです！

We took our grandchildren on the Star of Honolulu whale watching cruise. Unfortunately the whales were elsewhere and not a single one was spotted. That certainly did not stop us from having a wonderful time. The day was beautiful, the boat comfortable, the staff very informative and friendly. The wonderful bonus, because there were no whales spotted, we have been given a return voucher good for anytime this whale watching season. A great value and will go again!

We departed from the harbor located further inside the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease listening to their explanations.
The 150m parasailing offered breathtaking views!!
As a kind gesture, they let us splash into the sea while being pulled back to the boat from the air. The time spent heading out was also fun, like riding a jet ski.
Thank you very much!

アラモアナショッピングセンターの更に奥にある港から出発でした。スタッフの方は日本語喋れますし、安心して説明を聞けます。
150mのパラセーリングは絶景でした！！
ご厚意で、空から船へ紐を引っ張って戻るとき海にバシャバシャッと付けてもらいました。沖に出るまでの時間もジェットスキーみたいで楽しいです。
ありがとうございました！

I have always wanted to interact with dolphins. During my trip to Hawaii, among the many dolphin tours available, I chose the Sea Life tour, which guarantees encounters with dolphins over the wild dolphin tours that are dependent on weather and luck! During the tour, we had an amazing time playing with the dolphins. We took pictures kissing them and high-fiving, which was very fulfilling! My whole family was delighted. Not only do we have memorable photos, but after playing with the dolphins, we were able to eat at the park and interact with other animals. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

昔からイルカと触れ合ってみたいと思っていました。
ハワイ旅行で、イルカのツアーが沢山ある中
天候や運で左右される野生のイルカツアーより確実に会えるシーライフさんのツアーに参加しました！
ツアー中はイルカとめちゃくちゃ遊べます。キスする写真やハイタッチ等とても充実していました！
家族皆喜んでくれました。思い出となる写真が確実にあるのもそうですし、イルカと遊んだ後はパーク内で御飯を食べたり他の動物と遊べます。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

At Kualoa Ranch, there were various activities, but I had a great time experiencing the four-wheeler buggy for a full two hours, which seems like something you can only do in Hawaii! It went faster than I expected, and at first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, it was really fun!! I could have probably ridden for another hour (＾_＾) I want to go again!

クアロアランチでは色々なアクティビティがありましたが、ハワイでしかできなさそうな四輪バギーを2時間たっぷり体験しました！思った以上にスピードが出て、初めは怖かったのですが、慣れれてくると本当に楽しい！！あと1時間くらい乗れたかも（＾_＾）また行きたいです！

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.

浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です

I participated on New Year's Eve 2017. Unfortunately, it seems the whales were also taking a break and did not appear. I was disappointed that I couldn't see them.

Once on the boat, the first thing was the meal. The photo shows the front of the boat, but there are also seats and tables where you can eat comfortably. The meal was a hamburger, and it was delicious! The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was beautiful.

The third floor has no windows, so the view is great, but once we set sail, the wind became quite strong, so it's best to finish your meal quickly. I thought that even if we saw whales, they would be far away, so I was mainly focused on the scenery, which met my expectations for satisfaction.

Above all, it was helpful that there was commentary in Japanese. I think I will try again someday for a revenge trip.

2017年大晦日に参加しました。
残念ながらクジラもお休みのようで現れず。残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでした。
船に乗るとまず食事です。写真は船先端ですが、それ以外はイスもテーブルもありゆっくり食べられます。食事はハンバーガーですが美味しくいただきました！また船から眺めるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドは綺麗でした。
3階は窓がないので眺めが良いですが、出航するとかなり風が強くなりますので、食事は早めに済ませましょう。
クジラは見えても遠いであろうと思っていたので、景色メインと考えて乗っていましたので期待通りの満足度としました。
何より日本語で解説があり、助かります。
いつかまたリベンジしよと思います。

This time, we participated with two adults and two children, a total of four people. The ranch is incredibly vast, and it's even more enjoyable when you compare it to the movie! The bus is very cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothing like a jacket. All the tour guides are entertaining, so definitely participate!

During the cruise, the captain's steering occasionally splashed water on the guests standing at the front, which got everyone excited. There were children on board as well, but it can be quite bumpy, so please be careful.

By the way, for lunch, there was a buffet with delicious dishes like meat, rice, and cake served during the tour, which was great.

今回、大人2人、子供2人の4人で参加です。
牧場は凄く広大で映画と照らし合わせて見るとより楽しいです！
バス内は凄く寒いので上着など温かいものを持っていくことをオススメします。どのツアーのガイドさんも面白いので是非是非参加してください！
クルーズはキャプテンの操縦によって、一番前に立っているお客さんには時折波がかかって、みんな興奮気味でした。子供さんもいましたが、結構揺れるので気をつけてください。
ちなみに、ランチですが、ツアーの合間でバイキングでお肉、お米、ケーキなど美味しい料理がでて、良かったです。

The staff aboard the vessel were accommodating and informative. There was a nice buffet with a full service bar. The captain went out of his way to make sure we had a whale sighting. There were professional photographers on board to capture photos of the whales if you miss getting your own in all the excitement of seeing a whale for the first time. I will definitely do this again on my next visit to the Island!

Since it was my first winter trip to Hawaii in a while, I signed up for whale watching. Although I didn't see any whales, I did see rainbows twice. I was also moved to encounter a large pod of dolphins. I believe it was likely due to the tour company's consideration that they changed the course for us.

久しぶりの冬のハワイ旅行だったのでホエールウォッチングに申し込みました。
ホエールは見れなかったのですが、レインボーが2回。
あとイルカの大群に会え感動しました。
恐らくツアー会社の方の計らいでコースを変更してくださったのではないかと思っています。

I was really looking forward to my first whale watching experience, but I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see much. I understand it's nature, so it's unavoidable... However, the staff were very focused on taking photos for sale and occupied the best viewing spots. With so many people on the boat, if you miss out on a good spot, it feels like you're just sitting on the boat for hours without seeing anything. It was just cold, so I recommend being well-prepared for the cold weather.

ホエールウォッチングに初参加で楽しみにしていたのですが、
こんなにも見れないのかと少しガッカリでした。自然の生き物なので仕方がないですが…。
ただ、スタッフの方々は、販売用の写真を撮るのに必死で一番見やすい場所を陣取っているし、
船に乗っている人数も多いので、場所取りに失敗すると、何もせずにただ何時間も船に乗っているだけという感じでした。
ただただ寒く、防寒対策は万全にしていくのがおススメです。

I couldn't see any whales, but that's just how nature is, so there's nothing to be done about it. However, they said they would distribute tickets for the next time, yet there was no further information provided. It feels bad to get the impression that they think, "They're just tourists, so they won't come back." If that's the case, they shouldn't have said anything from the beginning.

Alternatively, they need to come up with some creative pricing strategies for cruises, like the icebreaker boats in Hokkaido, otherwise, it gives off a feeling of being left hanging because it's a foreign country. I wanted to see whales, but I should have gone to Okinawa instead. What a shame. The tour company really needs to think this through.

鯨に会えなかったの自然任せだからしょうがないけど、次回のチケット配ると言いながら、何も案内なし。
「旅行客だから、もう来ないだろう」みたいな感じが気分悪い。
それなら、初めから言わなきゃいいのに。
または北海道の流氷船みたいに、クルーズの場合の料金設定をする等の工夫しないと、異国だから的なやりっぱなし感広がるよ。
鯨見たかったけど、沖縄にすればよかった。
残念。
ツアー会社も考えなきゃダメよ。

Unfortunately, it was cold weather for snorkeling though tour itself was well coordinated.
And my image of sandbar was less water like land.
I want to try it again in warmer season.

We boarded with six family members. The weather was great, and we were impressed by the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea! Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the cruise was enjoyable. If whales don't appear, those who want to try again can receive a free reboarding ticket. If you have the time, it might be nice to go again!

家族６人で乗船しました。
お天気も良くて、海から見るワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドベッドに感激しました！
残念ながらクジラは見られませんでしたがクルーズは楽しかったです。
クジラが現れず、もう一度トライしたい方は、無料で再乗船のチケットがもらえます。
時間がある方はまた乗ってみても良いかもです！

I tried parasailing for the first time, and I'm glad I did! It was less scary than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the view from above!

はじめてパラセーリングにチャレンジしましたが、やって良かったです！
思ったより恐くなくむしろ空の上からの景色を楽しむことが出来ました！！

The weather was great on the day, and I was able to see whales about 10 times! There weren't too many people, so I was able to relax and enjoy it to the fullest!

当日は天気も良く10回程度クジラを見ることが出来ました！また人もそこまで多くなく、ゆったり過ごせたので最高でした！！

This time, we were unable to encounter any whales. Our schedule was packed during this trip, so we couldn't take advantage of the reboarding guarantee. Our next trip is planned for October, which is the off-season, but if we have another opportunity, we'll try again!

今回は、クジラに遭遇することが出来ませんでした。
今回の旅行では、日程も詰まっていたので、再乗船の保証も利用できず、次回の予定は１０月なので、シーズンオフ、また機会があれば再挑戦！

I participated in an early morning tour. On the bus ride there, the instructions were explained very clearly and cheerfully, and they taught us pressure points for motion sickness, which made the journey enjoyable. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so even with the pressure points and medication, I still felt sick. However, I was lucky that day to see both dolphins and sea turtles! Although we were told not to chase the dolphins, they actually approached us, and we had to move aside (laughs). Even when the dolphins were out of sight, I could hear their calls when I put my ears to the water, which felt quite mysterious. The sea turtles were far away, but I was still moved to see them. I couldn't eat the hamburger at the time because I was feeling sick, but it was delicious when I had it after returning home. I didn't bring much money, so I was disappointed that I couldn't order the photo data. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and if I have the chance, I would like to participate again while enduring the motion sickness.

朝早いツアーに参加しました。
行きのバスの中では注意事項などとても明るくわかりやすく説明していただき、酔い止めのツボなど教えていただき楽しく移動できました。
私はとても酔いやすいのでツボを押しても、酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまいましたが、その日は幸運でイルカもウミガメも会うことができました！
イルカは追っかけてはいけないとのことでしたが、イルカの方から近づいてきてくれてこちらがよけるほどでした(笑)イルカの姿が見えなくても耳を海面に入れると近い時には鳴き声が聞こえていることがわかり不思議な感じでした。
ウミガメは遠かったですがちゃんとみれて感動しました。
ハンバーガーは酔っていたのでその時は食べられませんでしたが、帰宅してから食べたらおいしかったです。
お金をほとんど持って行かなかったので、写真のデータを申し込むことが出来ず残念でした。
トータルで満足できる内容で機会があれば船酔いに耐えながらまた参加したいです。

Due to heavy snow in Narita, my trip to Hawaii was cut short by one day. It was a pretty intense two days, but I think I was able to enjoy my time in Hawaii. I had actually booked a sunset cruise for the first day, but unfortunately, due to the flight cancellation and delays, I couldn't change it, and it was treated as a cancellation without any refund, which was really disappointing. It felt like my excitement was taken away.

And finally, I enrolled in Dolphin University! I heard there might be times when we can't meet the dolphins, which made me a bit anxious.

Now, we're on the boat! Departure! Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a whale spouting water, and then we got a message from the dolphin watching crew: "There they are! So many dolphins!" I think there were over 30 of them! They kept diving into the sea, and I was able to swim with them! It was so exciting! There were also mother and baby dolphins! We swam for quite a long time!

Next, we quickly found dolphins again, so we went snorkeling! The sea was beautiful! Wow! The turtle swam among us without being scared and popped up for air to say hello. I heard that touching it would incur a $70 fine!

What could have been a disastrous trip to Hawaii turned into an exhilarating experience, and I'm so grateful for that! You absolutely have to go! I highly recommend it!

成田大雪の為欠航になり、1日少ないハワイ旅行となりました。
かなりハードな2日間でしたがハワイ旅行満喫出来たかな〜
本当は初日サンセットクルージングも予約していたのですが残念ながら欠航遅延で変更も出来ずキャンセル扱いにもならず勿論返金も無くガッカリでした。
楽しみが奪われる〜〜
そしていよいよイルカ大学に入学‼️
イルカに逢えない事もあると聞きまた不安がー
いよいよ船上❗️出航
出航間もなくクジラ潮吹いているー次にはイルカウォッチングクルーから連絡‼️いた〜イルカいっぱい❗️あれは30以上いたかなー
次々海にダイブイルカ一緒に泳げたよ‼️大興奮‼️親子イルカもいたよー！かなり永い時間泳げたよ❗️さあ次はイルカが直ぐに見つける事が出来たのでシュノーケリング‼️海綺麗❗️ワォ‼️カメちゃん人を怖がらず人の間を泳ぎ息継ぎこんにちは
触ったら70ドルの罰金だとか！
散々なハワイ旅行✈️になる所大興奮なハワイにしてくれて感謝‼️
絶対行ってみて❗️おすすめですよ。

The weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't see any whales at all. The constant chatter in English became increasingly annoying, and when it was clear there were no whales, they even started making up false claims like "Look, something at 5 o'clock!" It turned into the worst way to pass the time. While it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, it was truly disappointing! I was really let down.

お天気もあまり良くなく全くクジラは観ることができませんでした。
しゃべりっぱなしの英語の声がだんだん煩わしく耳障りになり、クジラがいないとわかるとわざと5時の方向に何かが！みたいな嘘の煽りまでする始末で最悪の時間つぶしになりました。自然が相手なので仕方ないとはいえ本当に残念！がっかりでした。

It was a stylish large cruise ship with little rocking, and even with a one-year-old, we were comfortable without any seasickness. Most importantly, I was thrilled to see the spouting, body, and tail perfectly.

オシャレな船内の大きな客船で、揺れも少なく、1歳児連れでしたが船酔いもなく快適でした。
そして何より、潮吹きも体も尻尾もバッチリ見れて感激しました

This time, since there were four of us, we didn't use the shuttle service and took a taxi instead. It was just a little over $15, maybe not even $20.

I've participated before, but this time I was able to see it up close. I enjoyed being able to view Waikiki Beach from the sea, and it felt like a mix of whale watching and cruising. We even saw a rainbow, which was amazing.

今回は友人と４人だったので、送迎付きにせずタクシーで向かいました。
１５＄ちょっとだったかな？２０＄もかからないです。

以前にも参加したことがあるのですが、今回は間近で見れました。
ワイキキビーチを海から眺めることができて、ホエールウォッチングとクルージングみたいな感じで楽しめました。虹も見れて最高でした。

Onboard, I enjoyed a buffet with roast beef and was able to relax on the sofa while watching several whales. The air conditioning was a bit strong, so it might be cold if you're wearing short sleeves and shorts. I would love to board again if I have the chance.

快適な船内で、ローストビーフなどのブッフェが楽しめて、ソファでくつろぎながらクジラが何頭も見れました。冷房が少し強いので、半袖短パンだと寒いかもしれないです。
また機会があれば乗船したいです。

The sandbar, which was also used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean, is a place I wanted to visit in the best condition! I predicted the tidal conditions in Kaneohe Bay, hoping that the sandbar might appear, and decided to join the trip with that expectation.

The result was a complete disappointment. Not only was there no sandbar, but I was a bit disheartened to find the water up to my thighs.

However, there’s no doubt that the sea was beautiful, and the strange sensation of being in shallow water despite being offshore was nice.

I didn’t join without doing any research; I had considered the worst-case scenario, so while I was disappointed, I still had a good time.

Just a note, January in Hawaii can get cold when the sun goes behind the clouds! I was shivering while wrapped in a towel on the boat.

The hamburger for lunch tasted especially good, probably because I had it on the boat.

For those thinking of participating, I believe you’ll be satisfied if you join with the mindset of just wanting to see the beautiful sea, without too much expectation.

パイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影にも使用されたというサンドバー。最高の状態で行ってみたい！と思い、カネオヘ湾の潮の状態を予測し、もしかしたらサンドバーが現れるかも！と期待して参加しました。

結果は、惨敗でした。サンドバーどころか、太ももまで漬かるレベルで少しガッカリ。

でも、綺麗な海である事は間違いなく、沖合いにも関わらず浅瀬という不思議な感覚は、良かったと思っています。

何も調べずに参加した訳ではなく、最悪のケースも想定して行ったので、ガッカリではありますが充分楽しめました。

ただ、1月のハワイは太陽が陰ると寒い！ブルブル震えながら船の上でタオルに包まれてました。

ランチのハンバーガーは、船の上で頂いたからか、とても美味しく感じました。

これから参加しようと思っている方は、期待しずぎず、綺麗な海を見に行く感覚で参加されたら満足されると思います。

Driving the buggy ourselves and visiting locations from Jurassic Park and King Kong was a lot of fun. The two hours flew by. The instructor deliberately took us over bumpy roads and large puddles, adding to the thrill. (For those who are scared, you can avoid those parts, so it's reassuring.) My sister had just gotten her license (laughs) and unfortunately failed the initial driving test, so she experienced it sitting next to the instructor, but she said it was fun. Even though I'm a nervous driver, I was able to drive without any issues, so I believe those who are unsure or can't drive will also enjoy it.

自分たちでバギーを運転し、ジュラシックパークや、キングコングの映画ロケ地を回るのは、とても楽しかったです。2時間はあっという間でした。インストラクターが、わざとデコボコの道や、大きな水たまりを走ったりしてくれるので、スリルも味わえます。（怖い人は、避けて走ればいいので安心です）私の妹は、免許を取ったばかりだったせいか（笑）最初の運転テストで不合格となり、インストラクターの横に座って体験しましたが、楽しかったそうです。また私はペーパードライバーですが、問題なく運転できたので、運転に自信がない方、運転出来ない方でも楽しめるはずです。

I went on the shuttle bus knowing that the bay was beautiful from above. Quick however thorough instructions on the equipment. Once you get used to it the beauty you find in the clear waters are amazing. After this outing everything was stress free for me. All I can say is if you can swim you had not miss this.

We had a thoroughly delightful evening. We had the all you can eat crab and purchased 1 bottle of wine.
The show was lovely and enthusiastically done. The tour and the meal was very well organized. This is a must do in Honolulu...

It was outstanding. Dan made me comfortable all the time as I was nervous.I would recommend any beginner to go with Dan

Staff is great! Food is good and grilled on the boat. Bring water with you.
