All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We came to Hawaii to bring our young daughter, age 7, for her first trip, hoping it would be a memorable one, and she was over the moon with this experience. She got a bit queasy for just a few minutes with the short ferry ride to the sub, but after that, she was perfectly fine. The sub itself was roomy enough to not feel like you were sitting on someone else, and everyone gets window seats, so there is no need to worry about not seeing something. They do 180s so that both sides of the sub get to see everything. Amazing. They have sunken plane and ship wreckage that have allowed artificial reefs to be created, and they are teeming with fish. I've personally been to Hawaii over 20 times in my life and this has by far got to be the best experience I've ever had. Bring a light sweater for the breezy trip to and from the sub, if you're prone to getting chilly in ocean breeze. Don't forget to look in the water when you're on the pier waiting for the ferry - there are reef fish there, too!

Excellent team, equipment and service. We booked the tour with whale watch guarantee very early in the season, we did not see whales our first 2 times, but we never had to ask for the voucher to go again and it was very easy to rebook for another day and time. We had an amazing exoerience seeing the whales on our 3rd trip. On trip one and two the team also made sure we had a good time by serving great cocktails.

I participated because I really wanted to touch a dolphin! The instructions were provided carefully in both Japanese and English, and everyone had their own time to touch the dolphins, making it a satisfying tour even for shy people!!! The sea lion and dolphin shows were also enjoyable to watch, as the animals seemed happy to perform! I want to participate again (^｡^) I brought home a USB shaped like a dolphin!!! Haha!

とにかくイルカが触りたくて参加しました！
インスラクションも日本語と英語で丁寧にしていただいたし、ひとりひとりイルカさんにさわれる時間をとっていただいてシャイな人でも満足できるツアーでした！！！
ほかのアシカショーやイルカショーも動物が喜んでやってるかんじがしてみてて楽しかったです！また参加したいです(^｡^)
写真はイルカさんのかたちのUSBにいれて持ち帰りました！！！笑笑

I challenged myself to 150 meters of parasailing! I thought if I was going to do it, I might as well go for the highest option. I was a bit anxious about what it would be like before getting on, but once I was up there, the view of Honolulu was amazing and very refreshing. The boat crew was also a lot of fun and kept the guests entertained. I definitely want to do it again!

１５０メートルのパラセーリングにチャレンジしました！どうせやるなら1番高い方がいいなあと思い決断しました。乗るまではどんなものか少し不安でしたが、実際に乗ってみると高い方がホノルルを一望できてとても爽快でした。ボートのクルー達もとても面白い人達でお客さんを楽しませてくれました。また乗ってみたいなあと思いました。

This time, we participated as a three-generation family. In Waikiki, we couldn't find sandals in small sizes for young children, so we gave up and joined the tour. However, at the entrance, there were many cute sandals available. Additionally, there were plenty of waterproof items, which got the whole family excited and set us off to a great start.

The lockers were of a type not commonly seen in Japan, but the staff kindly explained how to use them in Japanese without delay, allowing us to securely store our belongings.

Once inside, colorful rides and attractions spread out before us, building our excitement. Each ride is thrilling, and you'll definitely want to go on them multiple times! Especially, the Volcano Express is great for racing to see who can reach the finish line first. Of course, we competed several times. There’s also a three-dimensional pool where young children can play and enjoy themselves, making it fun for all generations!

If you get a little hungry, there are restaurants, fast food places, and bars, so you could spend the whole day there without running out of time. During the rainy season, there can be cold days, so I think it's a good idea to participate wearing a long-sleeved rash guard for UV protection.

この度は、三世代で参加しました。ワイキキでは、小さな子ども用のサイズのサンダルを見つけられず、諦めてツアーに参加。しかし エントランスでは、可愛いサンダルがたくさん。その他、防水グッズ等も多数揃えられており 家族皆テンションが上がり、幸先の良いスタートとなりました。
そして、ロッカーは日本では見かけないタイプでしたが、空かさずスタッフの方が日本語で丁寧に使い方を教えてくださり、安心して荷物を預けることが出来ました。
中に入ると、カラフルなライドやアトラクションが目の前に広がり、ワクワク感が募ります。
どのライドもスリル満点で、何度も繰り返し滑りたくなる事、請け合い！
特に、Volcano Express は、誰が早くゴール出きるか競争しても良いですね。勿論、私達も 何度も競争しました。小さな子ども達も楽しんで遊べる立体的なプールもあるので、世代関係なく楽しめます！
小腹が空いたら、レストランやファーストフード店やバーもあるので、一日中 居ても 時間が足らないくらい。雨季は、寒い日もあるので、UVカットも兼ねて 長袖のラッシュガードでの参加が良いと思います。

In December, it was sunny on the day, but there was also some wind, making it a bit chilly for marine sports. After listening to the instructor's explanations, we started. We went around three pylons in a clockwise direction, full throttle for about 30 minutes! Since it was just going around, it can get a bit boring once you get used to it, but racing while soaking up the sunlight and seawater is really fun!

*The local instructor also recommends it, but goggles are a must. You’ll understand why after going around once without them (laughs).

12月。当日は晴れてはいましたが、風もありマリンスポーツをするには少し寒い日ででした。インストラクターから一通り説明を聞きスタート。三本のパイロンを右回りに。アクセル全開で約30分周回！周回するだけなので慣れてくると飽きますが、太陽の光と海水を全身に浴びながら快走はホント楽しい！

※現地インストラクターも勧めますがゴーグルは必須。ゴーグル無で一周すると意味わかります（笑）

Saw several whales, good photo opportunities, nice music, food was okay, and accommodations were good in spite of rainy, overcast weather. The photos for purchase were overpriced.

I was a bit anxious because the pickup time was more than 10 minutes late, but I was picked up safely and arrived at Hawaii Kai in about 40 minutes. There were some waiting times after we arrived, but the boat transfers to parasailing were incredibly fast, and it felt like we were about to collide! It was a lot of fun!

Once on the parasailing boat, I had the harness attached and took a quick photo. I was the first one to go up. It felt like I was flying in a very peaceful space, and it was so enjoyable! The scenery and atmosphere were something you can only experience in Hawaii, and it was all perfect! At the end, they showed us the photos and videos they took. I didn't purchase them, but I did feel like I wanted them as a keepsake. If you have the time, I definitely recommend experiencing this!

ピックアップの時間が10分以上過ぎてたので、少し不安になりましたが、無事にピックアップしてもらいハワイカイまで40分くらいで到着しました。着いてからも諸々待ち時間がありましたが、、船を乗り継ぎ、乗り継ぎでパラセーリングまでの船ではめちゃくちゃ早くて、ぶつかりそう！！など楽しませてくれました！

パラセーリングの船に乗り込みハーネスを取り付けてもらい、写真をパシャリ、一番手で上げてもらいました。とても穏やかな空間で空を飛んでるようでとても楽しかったです！
ハワイでしか味わえない空間に景色、全て最後でした！
最後には撮ってくれた写真と動画を見せてもらいました。購入はしませんでしたが、記念に欲しい気もしました。
時間があれば是非体験して欲しいです♪

I'm so happy!! It was a dream to swim with dolphins!! I can't swim and I'm not good at putting my face in the water, but I had a wish to "swim with dolphins and touch them," so I decided to take on this experience. At first, we communicated with the dolphins, taking pictures while giving them kisses and touching them. They have such smooth, beautiful skin (laughs). After that, it was finally time to begin. Following the trainer's instructions, we waited in position, and the dolphin came right to us, allowing us to hold onto its dorsal and pectoral fins and move forward. It was my first experience, and it was truly fun!! We couldn't take pictures with our own cameras, but the staff took some great shots for us, which we bought. It has become a wonderful memory.

幸せー！！夢だったイルカちゃんとのスイム！！私は泳ぎができず水に顔をつけることも苦手なのですが「イルカと泳ぎたい、イルカに触れたい」という願があり今回体験に挑戦しました。最初はイルカとコミュニケーションをとる感じでキスの写真を撮ってもらったり触れたりしました。ツルッとした綺麗な肌（笑）その後はいよいよ始まります。トレーナーの方の指示通りの体制で待っているとイルカちゃんがちょうどいい場所に来てくれ背びれ、胸びれにつかまり前に進んでる～初めての体験、本当に楽しかったです！！自分たちのカメラで写真撮影はできませんでしたがスタッフの方がとても上手にとってくれたので、それを買ってきました。とてもよい思い出になっています。

It was so much fun! I was excited and nervous, but I flew over the ocean. For a moment, I felt a bit scared, but since I was with someone else, I felt very reassured. Once I put on the safety belt and thought I was ready, I was suddenly in the air. I quickly soared higher and higher. Once I was up there, I didn't feel scared anymore and enjoyed the Hawaiian breeze. In the end, I splashed into the water (laughs). The staff took photos from the boat, and I bought a USB memory for $25. I'm still enjoying looking at those photos (they turned out to be quite interesting).

楽しかった～！！ワクワクドキドキでしたが海の上を飛んできました。一瞬、恐怖心も出てくるのですが二人乗りだったので、とても心強かったです。安全ベルトをつけ準備ができたと思ったらあっという間に空へ。みるみるうちに高く飛んでいました。上がってしまうと怖さもなくハワイの風を感じて楽しみました。最後は水にチャポ～ン（笑）スタッフの方がボートから写真を写してくれていて２５ドルでＵＳＢメモリーを買いました。その写真を見ては、また楽しんでいます。（なかなか面白い写真が撮れていました）

The bus on the way there was too cold due to the air conditioning, which was a downside, but I felt relieved when I got off the bus and felt the warmth of the sun. On the way to the sandbar by boat, I encountered a sea turtle. There were fewer sea turtles that day, but I was happy to see them popping their heads out of the water and swimming! When we arrived at the sandbar, the water level was a bit high, and I was submerged up to my waist, but the color of the sea was so beautiful!! I took a lot of pictures. The snorkeling time was shorter than I expected. Everyone was getting hungry, so it was lunchtime. We had sandwiches, chips, and tea. Looking at the photos after returning to Japan, the color of the sea at the sandbar is even more wonderful!!

行きのバスの中は冷房がきき過ぎていて寒かったのが難点でしたがバスから降りて日差しの暖かさにホッとしました。ボートでサンドバーへ行く途中、ウミガメさんに出会いました。その日はウミガメさんは少なめでしたが水面から顔を出したり泳いでいる姿を見ることができて嬉しかったです！サンドバーに着くと水位が高めで腰まで浸かりましたが海の色がとても綺麗！！沢山写真を撮りました。シュノーケルの時間は思ったより短めです。お腹も空いてきて皆さんでランチタイム。サンドイッチとチップス、紅茶を頂きました。日本に帰ってきて写真を見るとサンドバーでの海の色は一段と素晴らしいです！！

I love Chief Sielu's wit, and his personality really comes out throughout the show. You can really tell he enjoys hosting the luau and loves all his guests. They also have a lot of fire knife dancers (and world champions, at that) making their fire dances probably the most impressive ones out there.

The food is good and there's a cash bar (you get a few free drink tickets based on which package you book). The only problem with this luau is that it's so far away from Waikiki and starts right after rush hour, so you might want to leave earlier (perhaps at 3pm) to beat the traffic. Alternatively you could just spend the day in Kapolei at wet n wild or Coral Crater. Parking is $5 at wet n wild.

I couldn't tell how many meters we went up, but we ascended rapidly. By the way, I love heights, and we definitely went up quite high! I set it to 90 meters, but I think we probably went even higher. However, the view was amazing and I was really moved. That said, I started to feel seasick. I took motion sickness medication beforehand since I had read reviews, but it didn't help. Motion sickness medication is absolutely essential!

何メートル上がったか分からないくらいグングン上がりました。因みに高いところ好きですが、結構な高さ上がってました！90メートルにしたのですが恐らくそれ以上上がってたとも思います。でも景色はすごく良くて感動しました。ですが、船酔いをしかけました。事前に口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲みましたが駄目でした。絶対酔い止め必須！！

I participated in September, and this time I also reserved a cabana. The cabana comes with a cooler filled with mineral water and fruits, and the staff takes lunch orders and delivers them to the cabana. During busy times like summer vacation, there's no need to wait in line, and you can order whatever you like from a wide menu. You can enjoy a relaxing and leisurely time.

Since there are cabana-exclusive floaties, there's no need to search for floaties in the wave pool. I think using a cabana is a great idea, especially during crowded periods.

9月に参加しましたが、今回はカバナも申し込みました。カバナは、クーラーボックスにミネラルウォーターやフルーツが用意され、ランチはスタッフがオーダーを取り、カバナまで届けてくれます。夏休みなどの混雑時には並ぶ必要もなく、豊富なメニューから好きなものをオーダー出来ます。のんびりとゆったりしたひと時が過ごせます。
浮き輪はカバナ専用の物があるため、波のプールで浮き輪探しの必要もありません。
特に混雑する時期に、カバナ利用はいいと思います。

It was convenient to be within walking distance from the hotel. I had fun getting interesting photos taken that I couldn't capture myself for $30 (cash price). I booked for 90 meters, but was it more than that? We went quite high up! (^_^)

宿泊先ホテルから徒歩で行ける場所にあって楽でした。
$30(現金価格)で自分では撮れない面白画像も撮影して貰えて楽しかったです。
90mで予約しましたがそれ以上だったのか？かなり高くまで上がってました(^_^;)

I participated with my family of four, and although I had some concerns, I found that even with only English being spoken, a bit of Japanese was understood, and there was a laminated Japanese explanation sheet, so I didn't feel too inconvenienced. The driver for the pick-up was also funny, which made it enjoyable.

Now, onto the main topic: I challenged myself to the 150M. I thought my 7-year-old son might hesitate at the last minute, but he watched the other adult guests being attended to first and seemed to enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again the next day. They adjust the flight arrangements based on the size of the children, which is great. In the latter half of the flight, you get about half your body submerged in the sea, but if you don't like that, you can go ahead first. However, since the belt gets wet, your swimsuit will also get wet. So let's give up on staying dry and enjoy it to the fullest. You ride the shuttle van to and from in your swimsuit, and it's fine even if you're wet. Just bring a towel instead of a change of clothes. Everyone in Hawaii is very kind to children, so you can feel at ease. The only downside was that the SD card we purchased for the photos was a bit disappointing.

親子4人で参加して少し不安もあったのですが、英語のみとなっていても片言の日本語が通じたり、ラミネートされた日本語説明書があったのでさほど不便は感じませんでした。送迎のドライバーの方も面白くて、楽しかったです。本題ですが150Ｍにチャレンジしました。7歳の息子は土壇場で嫌がるかと思いましたが、他の大人だけのお客様を先にアテンドしその様子を見ていたので楽しめたらしく、翌日も乗りたいと言っていた。子供の体の大きさを見てフライトアレンジをしてくれるので良いです。フライト後半海に体半分くらい浸かるのですが、それが嫌な方は先に行ってくれればＯＫ。ということでしたが、ベルトが濡れているため水着は濡れます。なので諦めて思いっきり楽しみましょう。行きも帰りも水着で送迎バンに乗ります。濡れていても大丈夫。着替えなんて特に持たずにタオルを持って行きましょう。皆さんハワイの方は子供にとてもやさしいです、安心してください。ただ撮影してくれた購入のＳＤは微妙でした。

The entire tour was incredible. We saw the active volcano with lava spewing out during the flight. The bus tour guide had lots of interesting stories. One person in our group was on a wheelchair and she enjoyed the entire tour as well. Highly recommended.

I signed up because my 4-year-old daughter wanted to interact with dolphins. Since our session started at 11:45, we had nearly a 2-hour wait, so we wandered around the park. Unlike Japanese aquariums, the animals were kept in a way that was closer to their natural habitat. In the area where you can interact with small birds, you can feed them directly, and with over a hundred colorful birds, it's definitely Instagram-worthy.

Of course, interacting with the dolphins was fun, but we also really enjoyed the bird interaction (we ended up going to the bird zone twice). If you love birds, this is a must!

*Please be careful of bird droppings. Wet wipes are a must!*

4歳の娘がイルカと触れ合いたいという事で申し込みしました。11:45スタートの回だったので待ち時間が2時間近くあり、園内をフラフラ。日本の水族館と違って自然に近いかたちで飼育されていました。また、小鳥と触れ合えるゾーンでは鳥達に直接餌をあげれて、百羽以上？のカラフルな小鳥はインスタ映え間違いなしです。
イルカとの触れ合いはもちろん楽しかったですが、鳥との触れ合いも楽しかったです。(結局鳥ゾーンに2回行きました)
鳥好きは是非！
※鳥のフンには気をつけてください。ウェットティッシュ必須です笑

I participated with my 6-year-old child, but swimming with the dolphins was quite a challenge, so my spouse and I took turns. The activity slide looked fun, and it was great to see everyone enjoying it.

It was mid-December, and I heard it was cold even with a wetsuit, so I brought a winter rash guard just in case and wore diving shorts underneath, which kept me warm.

We were able to see about 10 dolphins up close! During snorkeling, we encountered about 3 dolphins, and I was very satisfied! I was also glad to see a sea turtle from the boat.

I think it can depend on the weather, but unlike other tours, it was great to have an eco-friendly and authentic experience. Thank you!

6歳の子供と参加しましたが、
イルカと泳ぐのはハードル高くて、
夫婦で交換ずつ参加しました。
アクティビティの滑り台は、
楽しそうにやっており良かったです。

12月半ばでしたが、ウェットスーツでも寒いとの事で、
念のために持参した冬用ラッシュガードと、
ダイビング用の短パンをインナーにしたら、
寒くなかったです。


イルカさんは、群れで10頭くらいに間近で逢えました！
シュノーケリングの時も、3頭くらいに逢えて、
大満足でした！
ウミガメにも船の上から逢えてよかったです。

天候にも左右されると思いますが、
他のツアーさんと違って、エコで本格的なツアーでよかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I was worried because my daughter tends to get motion sickness, but I spoke to an older woman in charge who gave me various pieces of advice and showed concern. My anxiety completely disappeared, and I was able to enjoy the experience without worrying about the motion at all.

娘が酔いやすいため不安でしたが
係りの年配の女性にそのことを
話す色々アドバイスをしてくれたり気にかけたりして下さり
すっかり不安な気持ちがなくなり
そして揺れも全く気にすることなく
楽しむ事が出しました

We participated as a family. My wife and child had their first snorkeling experience two days prior on another tour and enjoyed it, so we decided on this tour through Veltra, which offers both sailing and snorkeling. I don't speak English, but I thought I could manage if I understood the experiences shared by others. I couldn't fully understand the English of the woman at the beach reception or the crew on board, but they were very kind and helpful. When we dove into the sea, we saw four sea turtles swimming gracefully, and we were able to see tropical fish up close, including striped ones and yellow ones. The sailing after coming out of the water was also pleasant, with good weather and wind. It was great that my wife and child had learned the basics of snorkeling on another tour, but if it's your first time and you're going in without any preparation, it might be tough. I think it's better to research and understand beforehand. This tour offers good value for money, and since it starts in Waikiki, there's no wasted time. I think I will participate again next time.

家族で参加。妻と子は２日前に別のツアーでシュノーケリングを初めて体験し楽しかったのでVeltraで捜しセーリングもシュノーケリングも両方楽しめるこのツアーに決めました。私は英語は出来ませんが他の方の書いた体験談を理解しておけば何とかなると思います。ビーチの受付の女性の英語も乗船してからのクルーの英語も100%聴き取れませんでしたが親切に対応してくれます。海に潜ると海亀が４匹悠々と泳ぎ、魚も縞模様のものや黄色のもの等熱帯魚も近くで見れました。海から上がって来てからのセーリングも天気も風も良く気持ち良かったです。妻と子はシュノーケリングの基本を別のツアーで習っていたので良かったのですが丸っきり初めてでブッツケ本番ですとキツイかもしれません、ネットなどで調べて理解してから参加した方が良いと思います。コスパも良いしワイキキ集合で時間の無駄も無いこのツアーは次も参加すると思います。

I chose the option to meet at the location, but after arriving at the destination, I had to wait for a while. In the end, those who gathered by bus were prioritized, and I had to wait again. When I called out to the guide, I was told that unless I was part of the bus group, I would have to hear the explanation twice, and I was treated dismissively. It was very unpleasant.

現地集合のオプションにしたのですが、目的地に着いて、しばらく待たされ、あげくバスで集合した方が優先され、さらにしばらく待たされ、ガイドの方がどこか行くので、声をかけると、バス集合でないと、説明が二度なるといわれ、邪険にあつかわれた。非常に不快でした。

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.
