All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This time, my 5-year-old son and I participated in a 30-minute children's experience course, while my husband and our 7- and 9-year-old daughters joined a 1-hour horseback riding experience. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was wonderful and fun! My 7-year-old daughter was deeply moved, reflecting that in Japan, at my age, they wouldn't let her ride alone for an hour. The horses were truly smart, and my daughters handled the reins like pros. My husband mentioned that riding for a full hour through the hilly pastures and mountain paths would be a great, great, great satisfaction for beginners and children.

During my 30-minute ride, I was on a big horse, not a pony. My 5-year-old son was initially surprised but was thrilled to ride the same horse as the adults. Since he is only 5, a female staff member accompanied him to lead the horse. We went up and down a small hill as well. Although my daughters and husband couldn't ride, they were able to walk alongside us during the hour-long course. It was so enjoyable that the time flew by. One thing to keep in mind is that while there are supermarkets and convenience stores on the way, it's better to bring drinks with you in advance. The restrooms were relatively clean.

It takes about an hour to drive from Waikiki with a rental car. I also recommend having lunch at Giovanni’s in Kafuku, which is near the ranch, for their garlic shrimp!

今回、３０分の子供向け体験コースを５歳の息子と私で、7歳、９歳の娘達と主人が1時間の体験乗馬に参加させて頂きました。全員声をそろえて気持ち良かった～楽しかった〜！！でした。７歳の次女が、日本だったら私の歳で１人で１時間も乗してくれないよねぇとしみじみ感動して噛み締めていました。本当に賢い馬達で、娘たちの手綱さばきもいっちょ前さんに見えました。主人が言うには、上り下りもある牧草地や山道をじっくり1時間かけて乗馬するので初心者や子供達に大、大、大満足な1時間だと思うと言っていました。
私が参加した３０分は、ポニーではなく、大きなお馬さんでした。５歳の息子は最初驚きましたが、大人と同じ馬に乗れる事に大喜びしていました。5歳なので、女性の方が１人ついて、馬を引いてくれます。ちょっとした坂道の上り下りもいきます。また、乗馬はできませんが、１時間コースの娘たちや主人も一緒に歩いてついてこれました。楽しくて、あっという間の時間でした。気をつける事は、行くまでにスーパーやコンビニなどありますが、事前に飲み物は持っていった方が良いと思います。トイレも比較的綺麗でした。
ワイキキからレンターカーして１時間位です。牧場の近くのKafuku（カフク）のGiovanni’s（ジョバンニ）でガーリックシュリンプでランチもお勧めですよ

I wanted to swim with dolphins. It was my husband's long-time wish, so we joined this tour. We gathered at 5:30 in the morning, which marked the start of a cold day. Even though it was Hawaii, December was chilly. After arriving at the port, we set sail. We borrowed wetsuits and got into the water. The waves were high, and the sea was murky; occasionally, we could see the dolphins' fins, but not clearly. During that time, I ended up drinking water multiple times and was coughing (-_-;) I got back on the boat once to search for where the dolphins were and moved to a different spot. However, when I got in the water for the second time, I was shivering too much from the cold and had no choice but to give up. My husband went in. He encountered the dolphins and said he was able to swim with them a little, which made him happy, but I was still struggling with the cold and just wanted to go back. I had that feeling the whole time... I want to try again during a warmer season instead of winter.

イルカと一緒に泳ぎたい。主人の昔からの願いでしたので、このツアーに参加しました。朝、5:30に集合だったので、そこから寒い一日がスタートしました。ハワイとはいえ、12月は寒かった。港について、出港。ウェットスーツを借りて、水の中に入りました。波も高く、海も濁っていて、たまに、イルカの背びれが見え隠れしていましたが、はっきりとは見えず。その間に、何度も水を飲んでしまい、ゲホゲホ(-_-;)　一度船に上がり、イルカのいる場所を探し移動。そして、二度目の入水の時には、ガタガタと寒すぎて震えがきて、どうしようもなく、私は断念。主人は中に入りました。イルカ達がいるところに遭遇し、若干一緒に泳げたそうで、主人はよかったといっていましたが、私はその後も寒さとの葛藤で、早く帰りたい。そんな思いがずっとありまして、、、
冬ではなく、今度は暖かい時期にもう一度チャレンジしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of five, and my second-grade grandson was very satisfied with the many fish he caught. Most of them were various types of flatfish, but we also caught some juvenile GTs and triggerfish. Additionally, while moving to different fishing spots, dolphins swam under our boat, and we even saw flying fish. I would like to sign up again when we come to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加して小２の孫もいっぱい釣って満足していました。ほとんどカワハギの種類多数でしたが、GTの子供やハリセンボンも釣れていました。それに釣り場の移動中にイルカが船の下を通ったり、トビウオにもお目にかかりました。またハワイに来たときは申し込みたいです。

Make sure you let whomever is receiving the Lei know in advance.

I was torn between choosing Kualoa Ranch or Keana Farms with transportation included, but I decided on this one. Since Keana Farms is not a large tour with mixed groups, there was hardly any wasted time waiting for others during transportation, allowing us to make the most of our time. The first zip line took a bit of courage, but once I got used to it, it was incredibly fun. It was a bit unfortunate that the wind was strong, but the scenery was beautiful, and it offered an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. Most of the staff and other guests were foreigners, so the conversations were in English, but there was one person at the reception who spoke Japanese and provided us with additional explanations just for us. They were very considerate, even checking in on us after we finished.

送迎付きでクアロア牧場かケアナファームかで迷いましたが、こちらを選びました。
ケアナファームは大型ツアーの混載ではないので、送迎の際に他の方を待つ無駄な時間が殆どなく、自分達の時間を有効に使えました。
ジップライン自体は最初の1本が少し勇気がいりましたが、慣れたら最高に楽しいです。
少し風が強かったのが残念ですが、景色も美しく日本ではなかなか経験出来ない体験ができます。
スタッフも他のお客さんもほぼ外国人なので、会話は英語ですが受付に一人日本語が出来る方がいて私達だけに別途説明もしてくれて、終わった後も声をかけてくれたりとても気を使って頂きました。

It was wonderful to be on the bay! I enjoyed swimming at the sandbar , beautiful views and the sea turtles. The aloha spirit was ever present. I love Oahu. Enjoy your tour!!

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書？に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある＂海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー！＂と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが＂Look down!!＂と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

We went with two friends and were fortunate enough to be in a small group. Our guide Uncle was absolutely fantastic. The scenery and views were spectacular. Since being home we have told everyone and if they go to Oahu it's a must to go. If anyone is thinking of going......do it, it is so worth it, you will have a fantastic experience.

We boarded the Holokai Catamaran and quickly arrived at a point where we could see the beachside hotels of Waikiki. During the ride, we received explanations in English and were given life jackets. When I asked if wearing a life jacket was mandatory, I was told it wasn't required, but it was at our own risk. There was no worry about not seeing sea turtles, as they were coming up to the surface to breathe all around us. There was also a tour company nearby doing scuba diving. One slight disappointment was that there weren't many colorful tropical fish or coral at this point. However, there was plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. After getting back on the boat, we were offered chips and chocolate (free), and drinks like guava juice and beer (for a fee) as we slowly began sailing. Since it was December, we went whale watching and saw a few in the distance. Given the price, the service was good, and I was satisfied with the experience. I highly recommend it!

ホロカイ・カタマラン号に乗り込み、しばらく走るのかと思いきや、ワイキキのビーチサイドホテルが目視できるポイントにすぐ到着。走っている最中に説明(英語)を受けライフジャケットを受け取ります。ライフジャケットの着用は義務か聞くと無しでもOKしかし、自己責任。ウミガメがあちこちで水面に呼吸しに来るので会えない見られないという心配はないと思います。すぐ側でスキューバダイビングをしているツアー会社も居ました。少し残念なのはカラフルな熱帯魚や珊瑚はあまりいないポイントでした。シュノーケリングを楽しむには十分な時間が設けられています。船にあがりチップスやチョコを頂き(無料)飲み物はグアバジュースやビール(有料)ゆっくりとセーリング開始。12月だったためホエールウォッチング。遠目に少しだけ見れました。お値段の割にサービスも良く、内容にも満足です。おススメです!!

We had very exciting time. We were kind of scared since that was our first time and we are not good swimmers. But it was very safe and we enjoyed very much. Chieko and Dan, they are very professional and they led us to a sea turtle!
We definitely are coming back again!

I only participated in the hike to Manoa Falls in the tropical rainforest. The other participants were involved in activities like biking and beach outings, so we walked at quite a brisk pace. It's suitable for those in good physical condition.

熱帯雨林・マノア滝へのハイクのみに参加しました。他の参加者はバイクやビーチでのアクティビティも参加というプログラムだったので、結構な速度での歩きでした。健脚向きです。

We set off in the morning with a downpour, feeling anxious. The weather quickly improved, and my son went fishing for the first time. He caught three fish and seemed to have a great time! He wants to do it again! I also got to drive from the captain's seat, which was a wonderful experience!

朝からスコールで不安の中出発
すぐ天気が良くなり
息子は初めての釣りだったのですが
3匹も釣れて楽しそうでした！
またやりたいです！
船長席で運転もさせていただき
とてもいい経験になりました！

It had rained, so the waves were high and the sea was murky, but I was glad to meet a sea turtle! Next time, I want to go when the weather is nice!

雨が降った後だったので波も高く海が濁っていたのですが、ウミガメに会えて良かったです！
次は天気のいい時にやりたいです！

My 6-year-old son was interested in deep-sea fish, so this submarine was the main attraction for our trip to Hawaii. It dives to about 300 meters below the sea. We were able to see many fish at various points, although it wasn't completely natural; it felt like there were artificial habitats created, which was part of research by the University of Hawaii.

Towards the end, we apparently encountered a whale, but we only caught a glimpse of its shadow from inside the submarine. The guide was quite excited and announced it, but since we were still underwater, it seemed to have passed above us. If we had been surfaced, we might have seen it.

I thought I didn't get motion sickness easily, but I ended up feeling quite nauseous on the return high-speed boat. The submarine doesn't have a restroom, but the high-speed boat does. I managed to avoid the worst-case scenario, but I recommend taking motion sickness medication for anyone who might be concerned. The guide mentioned that the waves were quite calm that day, so I think it would have been tough on a day with regular waves. Just for your reference.

6歳の息子が深海魚に興味を持っていたので、今回のハワイ旅はこの潜水艦がメインでした。
海底300m程まで潜水します。
魚などは要所要所で沢山見られました。全くの自然というわけではなく、それなりの住処を人工的に作っているという感じでしたが、それもハワイ大学の研究の一環ということでした。
終盤はクジラに遭遇したらしいですが、ニアミスで艦内からチラリと影が見えただけでした。ガイドさんもかなり興奮してアナウンスしてくれたのですが、まだ海中にいたので頭上を行ったようです。
浮上していれば見えたかもしれませんね。
私はあまり乗り物酔いはしない方だと思っていましたが、この日は帰りの高速艇でかなり酔ってしまいました。
潜水艦にトイレはありませんが、行き帰りの高速艇にはあります。
何とか最悪の事態は回避できましたが、少しでも心配のある方は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
この日はかなり波も穏やかだとガイドさんも言っていたので、普通に波がある日だと厳しかったと思います。ご参考までに。

The weather on the day we went was a bit disappointing, and it was cold when we went into the sea (laughs), but we were able to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was really fun with so many fish! The ocean was truly beautiful! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were also delicious!!

行った日の天気が少し残念で、海に入るとき寒かったですが(笑)ウミガメも見れましたし、シュノーケリングも本当に魚がたくさんでとても楽しかったです！
海が本当にキレイでした！
船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです！！

Last time, I used the Star of Honolulu, but this time I participated in this tour because it was under maintenance. I heard that the seating was unassigned, but it can be confusing depending on the group. I think it would be better if seats were assigned. Overall, I believe the excitement level cannot compare to the Star of Honolulu. Also, a lobster voucher that I hadn't signed up for was distributed on the bus. I asked about it three times, but it seemed correct, so I accepted it without hesitation. Well, this was a lucky surprise!

前回はスターオブホノルルを利用しましたが、今回はメンテナンス中との事でこのツアーに参加しました。
席は自由席との事でしたが、グループによっては迷います。
やはりアサインされた方が良いと思いますね。
全体的な盛り上がりも、やはりスターオブホノルルにはかなわないと思います。
あと、申し込んでいないロブスターの引換券がバスの中で配られました。
3回位聞き返しましたが、間違い無さそうでしたので、遠慮無く頂きました。
まぁこれはこれでラッキーでした！

I woke up early, swayed by the bus, and headed to the dock while rubbing my sleepy eyes. After offering a prayer to the sea, we set sail on our long-awaited dolphin search journey. Unfortunately, we couldn't see dolphins up close during the two dives, but we did see them jumping from the boat, and most importantly, we were lucky enough to witness the whale's courtship dance multiple times, which was satisfying! The instructors were very cheerful and really energized everyone, making it a lot of fun! I want to go again when I come back to Hawaii! I hope to see dolphins up close next time! ♫

朝早起きしてバスに揺られ、眠い目をこすりながら船着場へ向かいました。
海にお祈りを捧げて、念願のイルカ探しの旅へ出航です。
残念ながら二回のダイブではイルカを間近で見ることは出来なかったけれど、船からイルカが跳ねているところは見られたし、何より偶然にもクジラの求愛のダンスを何回も見られて満足です！
インストラクターの方々もとても明るくみんなを盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです！
またハワイに来たら行きたいです！次回はイルカを間近で見られるといいな♫

what a wonderful tour. snorkeling for a beginner or someone with a little experience. our tour guide made us feel safe and made sure we saw lots of fish and turtles as he knew where they were often seen. going without a guide, I don't think I would have ventured as far from shore as I did.

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

The tour schedule itself was quite fulfilling. However, on the day I participated, I was unfortunate as the tides were high and the waves were strong, resulting in about 1 meter of water on the sandbar. The shallowest part was up to my chest (I am 158 cm tall). It was colder than the scenery I had seen in photos, but I told myself it couldn't be helped. The snorkeling and sea turtle watching afterward were beyond my expectations. I was able to see many sea turtles, and it was my first time seeing such a large coral reef. The water level on the sandbar changes depending on the day, but I believe it's worth participating.

ツアー自体のスケジュールはかなり充実していました。ただ、私の参加した日は運が悪く、潮の満ち引きが大きく波が高かったため、サンドバーの水浸が1mほどありました。一番浅くて私の胸まで海に浸かっている状態です。(身長158cm)写真で見ていた風景とは異なり寒かったですが、それは仕方ないと言い聞かせました。そのあとのシュノーケリング、ウミガメウォッチングは想像以上のものでした。ウミガメもたくさん見ることができましたし、あれほど大きなサンゴ礁をみたのも初めてでした。日によってサンドバーの水浸が変わりますが、参加して損はないと思います。

It was sunny, but there was some wind and it was occasionally cloudy, so I was a bit hesitant to go into the sea. The sandbar was deep enough to reach my knees. Everyone was enjoying beach volleyball and taking photos there. I was glad that I didn't get wet up to my shoulders at that time. After getting back on the boat, it was cold and I was shivering. The BBQ lunch on the boat was delicious. We also saw sea turtles and were able to see fish while snorkeling. However, the strong wind made it difficult to swim as I had hoped.

晴れてはいたんですが風があったり時々曇ったり、海に入るにはちょっと抵抗がありました。サンドバーは膝上まで浸かるほどでした。そこでみんなはビーチバレーや写真を撮ったり楽しんでました。その時は肩まで濡れなくてよかったと思います。船に上がったあと寒くて震えます。船上でのBBQランチは美味しかったです。ウミガメも見れたし、スノーケリングでも魚も見れました。ただ、風が強いのでなかなか思ったように泳げませんでした。

I participated in the 2-hour course. The great outdoors, with both mountains and the sea, is very beautiful. I usually don't drive at all—whether it's a bicycle, scooter, or car—so I was a bit anxious, but it was easy. The road near the starting point was rocky and bumpy, and I struggled with the handlebars at first. Once I got past that, I was able to navigate the course without any issues, perhaps because I got used to it, even though the road was rough. The accelerator is the type you press with your right thumb, so my thumb started to get tired after a while. Also, the dust was quite intense. When I wiped my face with the seat, it was pretty dirty. The instructor was kind and friendly. Thanks to the favorable weather, it was refreshing.

2時間コースに参加しました。
大自然で山も海もとてもきれいです。
普段、自転車や原付バイク、車など全く運転しないので不安でしたが、簡単でした。
スタート地点付近の道が石で、でこぼこしていて、最初ハンドルを取られました。そこを過ぎるとあとは慣れたためか、道が悪くても問題なくコースを回れました。
アクセルは右手親指で押さえるタイプなので、途中から親指が疲れてきました。
また、砂埃がすごいです。
顔をシートで拭くとかなり汚れていました。
インストラクターさんは親切でフレンドリーです。
天候にも恵まれたため、爽快でした。

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.

I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!

It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.

After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!

アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬！
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。

50分くらい牧場内を散策して、見晴らしがいいところで写真も撮ってもらえました。
雨が降らなくて本当に良かったです(^o^)
心が洗われるステキな乗馬体験でした！

I participated alone, but there was one other Japanese person, and I had a great time. The snorkeling was amazing, as I encountered not only fish but also many sea turtles, and it was thrilling to swim alongside them! The male crew members were kind, cheerful, and fun. I would love to join again.

一人で参加しましたが日本人も一人でしたが十分楽しめた。
シュノーケリングは魚だけでなく、ホヌも沢山遭遇し、間近で一緒に泳げるので感動的です❗クルーの男性も親切で明るく楽しい。また参加したい。

I went in November.
We took a bus to the location, and the scenery was enjoyable along the way.
After arriving at the port, we took a short restroom break before departing.

The sandbar had water up to my knees, and we practiced snorkeling and took photos.
The guide took some pictures for us, which became great memories.

The hamburger for lunch was substantial and very delicious.

After lunch, we swam for about an hour at the snorkeling spot.
It seems some people got stung by jellyfish, but the fish and corals were beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

I previously participated in a dolphin tour, but this tour offered more freedom, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

11月に行ってきました。
バスで現地まで向かうのですが、楽しく景色を案内していただきました。
港についてからは、少しトイレ休憩して出発します。

サンドバーは膝程度の海面で
シュノーケリングの練習をしたり写真をとったりしました。
ガイドのお姉さんに写真を撮っていただきとてもいい記念になりました。

またランチのハンバーガーはボリュームがあり
とても美味しかったです。

ランチ後はシュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほど泳ぎます。
クラゲに刺された方もいるようですが
お魚もサンゴも綺麗で大変満足しました。

以前はイルカツアーに参加しましたが
こちらのツアーのほうが自由度が高く
のんびりとすることができて楽しかったです。

The pickup time slightly exceeded the regulation stating, "If more than 10 minutes have passed since the meeting time, call the office," so I was wondering what to do when a cheerful guy and a colorful van appeared. We arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes.

After signing a document stating that I understood, "Even if you don't see whales, if the boat sinks or if you flirt and die, we won't provide compensation, and it's at your own risk," I boarded the ship.

The boat was clean and spacious. Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, which eased my concerns about the upcoming experience. They were very friendly. Alcohol and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there were two restrooms available, so no worries there.

However, even though the waves were calm, the boat rocked quite a bit, so for those who get motion sickness, I think it would be a 200% chance of getting sick, and even taking motion sickness medication might not help, so it might be better to give up.

On the way out to the open sea, we couldn't spot any whale spouts, so I was somewhat resigned, but while cruising with a beer in hand, watching passenger planes flying overhead in the open waters of Waikiki, I thought it was a nice vacation vibe and good content. Then, on the way back, we discovered a whale spout.

The deck erupted in excitement. After that, we were lucky enough to see multiple whales performing dives and spouting, which was thrilling.

I would say it was a very enjoyable tour experience.

I would recommend it to those who don't get seasick and can enjoy the cruise even if they don't see whales.

If you see a whale, consider yourself lucky.

ピックアップの時間が若干、レギュレーションにある「待ち合わせ時間に１０分以上経過した場合は事務所に電話をしろ」という時間を超えていたので、どうしたもんかと思ったところ、陽気なにーちゃんとカラフルなバンが登場。１５分程度でハーバーに到着。

「クジラが見えなくても、船が沈没したり、ナンパして、死んでも、おれんところは補償しないし、免責だぜ、」ということを理解しました、という内容にサインしてから乗船。

船は清潔で、広々としてる。さらに日本語を上手に操るスタッフのメンズがいて、今後の流れへの不安は払拭。とてもフレンドリー。
お酒やソフトドリンクも飲み放題。トイレも二つ備え付けなので、心配なし。

ただ、波は穏やかでも、船はそれなりに揺れるので、乗り物酔いする人は200％酔うので、酔い止めを飲んでも効かないレベルだと思うので、諦めた方がいいかもしれない。

外洋まで行く、往路ではクジラの潮吹きを見つけられなかったので、半ば諦めつつも、ビール片手に、ワイキキの外洋を、上空をかすめる、旅客機を見ながらのクルージングは、それはそれで、バカンス感もあり、コンテンツとしても良いかなと思っていた、往路で、クジラの潮吹きを発見。

甲板が一斉に盛り上がる。その後、運良く、複数のクジラが営業ダイビングや、営業潮吹きをしてくれて、盛り上がる。

大変楽しいツアーコンテンツだったと評せる。

船酔いをしない、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングだと思って楽しめる人にはオススメしたい。

クジラが観れたら、それは、ツイてた、ということで。

My husband and I attended the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise on 12/06/17. When we had First checked in we were greeted by a nice lady and apologized and told my husband he was not wearing the proper attire for the night. He was wearing khakis and flip flops. The nice thing is they were accommodating going so far as letting borrow shoes and pants for the night. I was so happy cuz we had limited time and wouldn’t be able to reschedule. And it was my fault at not looking for a dress code when I booked it. Once we got on the boat we were greeted by the captain! He was super nice and well dressed (everybody was). The dancers, entertainment and food was AMAZING! Not to mention the excellent customer service they made sure they took care of all our needs. We will definitely do this again whenever we come back! Must do!!!

This was a great family friendly experience with helpful friendly staff.

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。

Since I attended on a weekday, it was very empty and I was able to slide down the water slide without waiting. Before entering the park, a staff member who spoke Japanese explained the day's announcements and precautions on the bus, making it easy for those who do not understand English to participate. That day, the lazy river was under maintenance, so I was able to use the paid attractions for free, which made me feel like I got a great deal. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy the pool.

平日に参加したのか、大変空いており待たずにウォータースライダーを滑ることが出来ました。
入園前に、バスの中で日本語が話せるスタッフがその日のお知らせや注意事項等説明してくれた為、英語がわからない方でも参加しやすいと思いました。
この日は、流れるプールがメンテナンス中で入ることが出来なかった為、有料のアトラクションを無料で使うことが出来、とても得した気分でした。
お天気にも恵まれ、プールを満喫することが出来ました。
